The 2015 Lancaster Bruins are shooting to be more competitive and improve on a 2-14 finish last baseball season.
LHS, guided by first-year head coach Toby Taylor, has his share of players back from last season and the Bruins will be looking to post more wins in an effort to compete for the region crown.
The Lancaster Bruins' boys basketball team battled, but a cold-shooting second half hampered the LHS Class AAA Upper State playoff hopes on Thursday, Feb. 19.
The Andrew Jackson High School girls basketball team had a tough night in the Lady Volunteers Class AA Upper State postseason road trip to Pendleton High School on Friday, Feb. 20.
The Lady Bulldogs halted AJ's postseason hoops hopes with a 51-27 win at PHS.
INDIAN LAND – Comebacks have been the key for the Indian Land High Lady Warriors in their two Class AA Upper State playoff wins.
The IL girls, for the second straight postseason game, overcame a slow start to rally for a win in the Class AA Upper State basketball playoffs.
The top-rated Lancaster High Lady Bruins took control early to post a 52-39 win over Lower Richland in the second round of the Class AAA Upper State girls basketball playoffs.
Stop me if you've heard this excuse before.
Let's begin with the obvious: South Carolina State is a mess. No, it's way beyond a mess; it is on life support and its very existence is in grave danger.
But it can be fixed and, in fact, the solution is fairly straightforward. It's not rocket science; if GM can go from the brink of extinction to making a profit in less than 24 months, then SC State's problems can be solved.
Days after fugitive Harland Donnell Melton was found by authorities walking through a coastal Oregon city, new details have emerged about the events leading up to his capture on the other side of the country.

He ran away in the takeaway department. Again, anybody who watches Karlsson would see that his takeaways are legit. He uses his stick to play defense rather than his body. Just because he doesn't play the traditional style of defense doesn't mean that he's not good defensively. Nobody is 'throwing it out' and I doubt the PHWA did, either.
Remember when the excuse for him being poor defensively was his -30 rating? Sens fans said that was more of a team stat than an individual stat because he wasn't even the worse defenseman on his team in terms of +/-. But nope, that was the reason. It was brought up every thread. Funny, I don't see those people mentioning his +16 last season. Hmmm....
Coffey and Orr have both spoken out highly about Karlsson. Personally, I'll take their opinions, along with the PHWA, over random HF posters who claim that their favourite defenseman is better.

Selecting I/O Units
I/O units typically are referred to as local or remote, a reference loosely interpreted to mean distance. I like to think of local as directly (or nearly directly) connected core processor peripherals. PCI- and ISA-enabled peripherals are good examples of local devices. A remote I/O unit usually has some kind of communication medium, such as a serial (RS-232 or RS-485) cable, wireless, infrared, Ethernet, FireWire or USB (to name a few). These remote interfaces have devices that may connect to the local core processor of the controlling computer but modify the data in such a way that it is transferred via another medium to its destination. This medium acts as an extension cord that extends the distance from the core processor bus to the device. This distance may be as short as a meter or as long as kilometers.
Remote vs. local I/O is important when considering the expense of additional cables to a control location. If I were to design a local control system using a set of PCI I/O cards, every point of I/O would have a cable installed. Consider a 1,000-point system with 1,000 cables. Just imagine the expense if an electrical contractor quoted an installation cost of $100 US per cable (the total would be $100,000 US)! In such a case, remote I/O allows a single wire such as CAT 5 (Ethernet) to be run to distributed I/O units. While 1,000 cables are still required for installation, the signal cable distance is shorter, decreasing the labor and materials cost of installation. In more unusual projects I've worked on, remote I/O implementation also provided incredible savings in cable weight. In one project, I recall estimating that we saved approximately 1,000kg of mass by just converting the system to remote I/O.
Shorter sensor and effector cables routed to a nearby I/O unit also are easier to test, debug and maintain. For example, if the cables run through a complex vehicle such as a ship or an airplane, a suspected wire failure might require physical cable tracing. If the wire length is 500 meters, each meter of wire may require inspection. If an I/O unit is located next to sensors and effectors, the communication media cable from the control computer to the I/O unit is still 500 meters, but it may be an Ethernet fiber bundle. The sensor and effector cables to the I/O unit may be only meters long. Clearly, debugging a couple of meters of wire is easier than several hundred meters.
Analog signals also may be affected by electrical noise, which places additional and undesirable signals into the analog data. Devices switching on and off may cause electrical noise. Power cables too close to sensitive signals also may create anomalies in I/O unit readings. Typically, the shorter the wire, the lower the probability of receiving electrical noise. Digital media cables such as copper Ethernet are susceptible to electrical noise too. Digital media typically employs a method of data validation that detects when data corruption occurs, but it still can be a problem.
Nonmetal technologies such as fiber are not susceptible to noise because they use light and not electrons. When installing a system it is useful to perform a site survey to evaluate potential sources of electrical noise. Plan for cables to be a significant distance from high-energy cables (power conductors, RF transmitters and so on) and high-energy systems (such as anodizing systems, high-voltage switching equipment and high-energy control hardware).
Modularity is all about selecting channels or points of I/O. While most I/O units support either all digital points or all analog points, some support both types. Mixed systems, as we call them, allow the designer to pick a single unit and select all the points required. As most systems require both analog and digital points, mixed I/O units optimize the cost-effectiveness of the design and reduce size and weight.
In addition, modularity improves life-cycle maintenance. An I/O unit with removable points may require a few seconds to replace a component and restore system operation. Replacing an entire I/O unit is much more costly in labor and downtime. Modularity also allows smaller, cheaper components to be stocked as spares should a replacement be necessary, also reducing downtime.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Andy K
Atlanta, GeorgiaSpacious New Home but Needs a Clean Touch
Norman and Julie are very accommodating and nice people to work with. The home was spacious as depicted on the web site but views of the water are minimal at best. The house was not very clean (sand in the bed upon arrival), toilets were stained, and dirt/dust throughout. Porch was very dirty. Grounds keeper should invest in a blower for the outside and tiki bar area. Sides of the pool were heavily stained and the water fall was broken. So much potential with a little TLC. Also, no wadeable flats for bone fishing. That said, it's still better than most of the rentals on the island for the price.

CanadaA perfect choice
We looked at a few places, but I am so glad we decided on this one for so many reasons. Firstly the house is clean & beautiful & has everything we need. A well stocked kitchen, large living room, laundry facilities, king size beds, walk in closets. Way better than we expected.
The pool is a nice size & is overlooking the ocean. The sunsets were beautiful every night. Norm & Julie were fantastic managers. They organized fishing for the men & helped us with whatever we needed help with. We enjoyed the atmosphere of several homes sharing a common pool & bar area. It was fun to meet people for drinks around 5 & socialize. The location was great. 10 mins from the airport & to Georgetown. We stumbled upon another place we found on line by accident & was so pleased we chose this one over that. It was so isolated & not on a beach & we would have felt disappointed for sure. We will return to The Cays because it was a perfect choice for us. Our husbands love fly fishing & they could have fished right off of our beach if they wanted to. They took guided trips but as we sat around the bar at sunset the odd bonefish would swim by.
A couple suggestions for people. Bring bug spray & use it. The sand flies come out at sunset & if you have the right tasting blood, they will eat you alive. I was one of the lucky ones who they did not like. Pack a few basics in your suitcase because groceries are expensive. e.g.) toilet paper, snacks, chips, peanut butter. Some things like booze are cheap while other basics like tp are very expensive. Bring a bit of laundry soap.
Thanks again Norm & Julie for creating the perfect tropical holiday retreat!! Come to the Cays, you will not be disappointed!!Detailed ratings for this rental

OntarioHome away From Home!
We stayed in House #7 at The Cays for the month of March 2014 and couldn't have been happier. Norman and Julie (Haggis, Rascal and Cricket!) were wonderful hosts. They were very helpful both before and during our stay. They answered our many questions, arranged a car for us, met us at the house when we arrived and came down to say goodbye when we were leaving.
They provided a wonderful shopping service so we would have supplies when we arrived (we had a Sunday flight that landed after the stores closed) and were always readily available to answer questions and make recommendations. They even helped us with printing out business documents we needed while we were there!
The house was very well appointed, spacious and comfortable. We had 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (2 were ensuites) and a large living/dining/kitchen area. Everything we needed to prepare meals, BBQ, do laundry, hang out at the pool or head to the beach was provided. The beaches - wow - the most beautiful in the world! We even had WiFi. The only thing that we would have preferred during our stay was a king size bed in the master bedroom.
The house was only steps from the pool and Tiki bar where we spent the afternoons chatting with Norman, Julie, the dogs as well as the other guests who were staying there. Everyone was so warm and friendly, we truly felt like we were at home with family. And the sunsets - wow! I think I took over 100 pictures of sunsets alone!
We are now blessed to count Norman and Julie (and a few others) among our lifelong friends.
We would very highly recommend a stay at The Cays to anyone and we will be back very soon - Cheers!Detailed ratings for this rental

MDFabulous vacation!!
What a wonderful place! Our friends, my husband and I rented a villa in the Cays. It is a lovely area with 14 villas nestled amongst palm trees, and beautiful scenery. The pool was fabulous and meeting the locals and other guests at the tiki bar to watch the sunset was a favorite part of our day. Norm, the villa manager made us feel so welcome. Our villa had 4 bedrooms with a huge living room and kitchen...plenty of space for our group of 6. Exuma is a beautiful island, but our vacation was complete thanks to our time spent at the Cays! We can't wait to go back!!!

Berlinhard to leave
we spent three weeks with norman and Julie, altough we intended to go back after 2 weeks.Just from the beginning on, everything was perfekt. The car we rented was already parked in front of our house. The house was situated in a wounderful gardenlike area, with a huge porch where we spent most of our evenings just to relax(good barbecue facilities). The house was very spacious(6 persons with no problem) and in a good modern condition,equipped with evertything you need.The poolarea is beautiful to relax on day,cause most of the time nobody is there.Sunset everyone meets there to have a beer and Norman and Julie tell you all about Exuma-where to go , where to eat,the beaches, fishing, snorcling etc..So they know it all and if you have a problem they are there to help you.We never met people who run a place that professionel and friendly.
So next winter we will be there again and we hope that norman and julie stay well untill then.

TorontoExuma or exotica!!!
The Bahamas is an archipelago of 700 islands. Some uninhabited (most of them), some inhabited. The most popular island is New Providence (Nassau) with its Casinos and the most famous atlantis Hotel.
But, the real treasure of The Bahamas lies in Exuma. Empty beaches, no crowds (no line-up), excellent foods, nice people.
Exuma won't be your regular ''all-inclusives''. Exuma, you need to customize. Exuma will be what you want you to be. Don't look for glitzy attractions but, if you look for a fishing trip and a lunch on the set of ''The Pirates of Caribbean'', this is the place.
Exuma or exotica, i would say both,

Just returned from a weeks stay at Coconut Cottage at the Cays. We stayed from 17th-23rd of February. The cottage was everything we could of hoped for. It was very spacious and clean. The home had everything we need to cook, entertain and just relax.
The general manager Norman and his wife Julie where the best. They helped us with everything from getting us groceries before we got there to recommending restaurants and beaches!
One of the best parts of our day was to go to the gazebo every night to watch the spectacular sunsets and to chat about the day with other guest stay at the resort.
There are so many beaches on the island! One of our favorites was Hoopers beach. It is across the street from the entrance road to our resort. Long and beautiful.
A must is taking the ferry to Stocking Island. A great hike to the Monument. Also, on Sundays the Chat and Chill has a great pig roast.
The restaurant next door to the resort has great food and entertainment on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The name is Catch a Fire.
If you are looking for a great day trip I would recommend the 007 boat trip. It is a great day trip that takes you through all the Exuma Cays. You will see and experience things you cannot see on the island!!
Overall I would highly recommend the Cays and Exuma!!Detailed ratings for this rental

Iowa CityA true gem!
My wife and I stayed at the Cays for our honeymoon and had a fantastic time. Norman and Julie made every effort to make our trip truly enjoyable. They gave great excursion advice and let us use their fishing gear and kayaks as a courtesy. We have had the chance to travel quite a bit and this really was one of the best places on the island. I would recommend The Cays for anyone looking for a private, relaxing destination.

MichiganIt Really Is Better in The Bahamas...at The Cays!
Pristine...authentic...accommodating...extraordinary...these are just a few words to describe how truly thrilled we were with our recent stay at The Cays. From the moment we got in touch with Norman he handled all the details professionally and promptly - we enjoyed the intimacy of the location as it was very close to airport and Georgetown yet tucked away with the most beautiful sunsets Exumas has to offer. Even has a bar dedicated to this awesome time of the day! Norman and Julie truly represent the best this property has to offer and were available to help us in any way possible to ensure we were getting the most out are stay. Our home was perfect - the grounds were manicured nicely and the pool and beach were perfectly placed! Aside from the amazing Exumas experience I have to honestly say these are some of the most friendliest people I have had the privilege of meeting - we can't wait to plan our return trip and plan to someday call this place our home!

Glassboro NJSimply Paradise
Let me start by saying I really had no idea what to expect before getting there. I read all the reviews and I have to say, this is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I've been to the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Nassau, Haiti to name a few. Our house was directly on the water with spectacular views all day. The sunsets are literally breathtaking. The house itself is immaculate, large and incredibly comfortable. Every comfort of home was readily available. We were traveling with 3 adults and 2 kids aged 12 and 2 and we all had an amazing time. Our host, Norman was incredibly attentive and helpful. At one point coming up with an Hdmi cable so we could connect our laptop to the TV so we could catch a local football game.
All I can say if you're thinking about going do it! You will not be disappointed!
Also make sure you rent a car so you can experience how truly beautiful this island is.Detailed ratings for this rental

There is so much to embellish about Exuma Cay. This was our second trip in 6 months and we will return every three months at this point. The host was fabulous, Norman and Jewels made it so wonderful. The home was clean and well stocked with everything you needed. The pool, the water and the people are excellent and lovely. I'll be back in 10 weeks, made my reservation before I left yesterday. Fabulous *** 10 stars

New YorkOur family had a wonderful stay at the Cays!
Villas are beautiful, new and incredibly well equipped.. we found everything we needed! There's a lovely pool on waters edge, no sandy beach around but a privileged place for stunning sunsets. (don't forget your insect repellent to prevent bugs bites!)
You need a car to reach the wonderful beaches, touring the island and for shopping.

BellinghamGreat home for large family or group
Very large home, well appointed and right on the waters edge. Stunning sunsets. Located in a community of homes, some owner occupied, some rentals. Swimming pool and no host bar area to gather makes it feel quite homey. Management is on the property to answer any questions. Car is necessary for grocery runs and touring the island.

NYPerfect setting for relaxation!
A group of 8 stayed in the gold house in The Cays, and found it to be absolutely ideal for our vacation! The home is well-maintained, spacious great room/kitchen/dining area set-up (much larger than it appeared on the internet). You are literally steps from the beach and from the pool. The screened-in porch overlooking the water was our favorite place to hang out. A washer/dryer is available. A very friendly manager was readily available if we had any needs.
Highly recommended!!Detailed ratings for this rental

Red Deer Alberta CanadaFantastic island getaway
the cays have spectacular accommodations,with fully equipped homes right down to the pizza cutter and laundry soap, everything a person needs for a self directed vacation on the island.Spacious home allows privacy and comfort for groups.You need a car to get to grocery store that is 10 minutes away and to visit other spots on the island.Grocery selection is good but because of the island location, prices higher than mainland. Pool area is lovely, beach is small but nice, overall a quiet and relaxing place. Self guided fly fishing is available right in front of house and plenty of room for a number of fishermen,and boat/guide service available. Bahamian people are the friendliest, most helpful folks, felt very safe every place we went.

NYMuch better than expected
We spent a week with our 3 young kids at the Cays. We loved everything about the place; the house is really very nice and very clean with nice furniture and all the comfort you need in a house when you have kids (or not!). The children loved the pool and all the activities the tenants, Norman and Julie, offer (small boat, Kayake). Norman and his wife Julie are so kind, they welcomed us and let us know everything about the house, the place and the island; they are always around to help if you need something. The house is close from Georgetown (10 minutes away), where you have the supermarket, gift shops, gas station, taxi boats which bring you to Stocking Island. You also have a restaurant near the house where you can walk to, we did not try it though. We hope we will be back!

St. LouisDoing nothing and resting afterwards
We rented a great 4 br house right on the water at the Cays in Exuma. Sunsets were amazing. The property had a small beach, a pool, kayaks, crystal clear shallow water, and very friendly neighbors. Within walking distance was Catch a Fire, one of the better restaurants in Exuma. We spent several nights eating, drinking and dancing there. Great food, super great people. The Cays is a short drive from Georgetown, where you could get provisions, catch a boat over to Stocking Island for the pig roast, or just wander around to shop or have a meal. We had a wonderful relaxing vacation with lots of fun in the sun. I would go back in a heartbeat.

UKGreat Escape!!
We have recently returned from a five week rental at the Cays in Georgetown.
Obviously we had only seen pictures of the rental before we arrived and the communal areas of the small resort of 17 houses. We were not dissapointed at all by our first impression on arriving at the Cays. It is everything and more that we hoped it would be. The location is perfect - close to Georgetown and all amenities and places to eat and ofcourse the fantastic Fish fry - but more importantly are the people who there that make your stay so unforgettable and a joy to come back to each day after a day on one of the many beautiful beaches less than a five minute drive from the house.
Norman and his wife Julie are on hand to help out if you need anything and always around for a catch up and a beer at the end of the day - we had many great conversations with Norman and he made our trip just as much as the beaches and all the wonderful things the Exumas have to offer.
We would definitely return to the Cays and can highly reccomend this as a place for families and couples alike.
Simply a great place to escape to and enjoy the peace! Wonderfully developed and maintained, by Norman.Detailed ratings for this rental
UKExuma Cays a fishtastic destination with some sun and relaxation
Second to our Honeymoon in the Maldives, the best holliday we have had. There was damage and some post hurricane (Irene) clean up taking place but was not obtrusive. There was also some building work in progress but will be completed by spring 12, again not too noticable.
We were met at the airport and taken to the house by Norman, the manager, and his wife Jules and for the rest of the holliday they were there if we needed anything at all. We had ordered some basic provisions beforehand and they were in the fridge on our arrival. Coconut Cottage was beautifull and spotlessly clean with ample space for 3 couples (3, king/Double bads). all with seperate bath rooms. We lacked for nothing, even beach towels were provided.
Beach is a muddy sand (too shallow to swim in at low tide) but the relaxation area is white sand with plenty of seating, hammocks and a good sized pool with a self help Bar, which you stock yourself; a great system. Car Hire is neccesary due to the slightly remote location but there is also a restaurant within short walking distance (Catch a Fire). Georgetown is a 10 min drive away with small shops, Bars and 3 small supermarkets.
Bonefishing guides readily available as is flats wading a 40min drive away. Fishing is possible in the lagoon but not as prolific as the flats (I saw fish every time I went out but only 1 or 2) and very spooky. Norman was able to give all the top tips.
Least favourite thing was the mossies and no-seeums (sand flies), so you need plenty of deet/repellant,.
Best thing; Me, Fishing; my wife, the sun and relaxation (and the lobster curry in Catch a Fire).
If you want a family holliday where you can do some fishing; go here.
We will be backDetailed ratings for this rental

Ontario, CanadaMore than we could have expected!
We stayed in the Blue Water Villa in the Cays and can say that it was a great experience. The house was clean and well equipped, we felt very welcomed. Thank you Norman and Julie! The common Bar and Pool area was great for drinks and relaxing. Tony's Catch a Fire bar and restaurant was a quick 2 minute walk next door- great place to grab a drink with good food for kids and the family.
Great Exuma was overall a wonderful vacation- the most beautiful remote beaches and friendly people! I would recommend this spot to everyone! -

CanadaBetter than advertised
We reserved the Coconot cottage over the internet and we were a bit worried that it would not stand up to the pictures but it tourned out better. Norman and Julie went out of their way to make us feel welcome and made our stay a pleasant one.
The cottage was spacious and well furnished. The beach was a bit small and rocky but the nice sandy area just by the beach with hammocks and lounge chairs was more than enough. Our kids ran around chasing lizards and played hide and seek.
We rented a car and were only 10 minutes from Georgetown and the various restaurants/beaches. So all in all, it exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for peace and quiet in nice paradise like surroundings, that's the place to go!Detailed ratings for this rental

CaliforniaGreat, relaxing location
We stayed at the Coconut Cottage at The Cays in December. The house is great: Very well made, well furnished and a short walk to the pool and beach. Norman made us at home and was around to help with any questions but only when we asked him to. We had a rental car so transportation around Great Exuma was easy. The only problem was that we ignored the advice to use insect repellent our first day, and didn't notice the tiny sand flies that bite voraciously. After we learned that lesson everything was great. We highly recommend a boat tour to see the Thunderball Grotto and adjacent islands (we saw David Copperfield leaving his island), rent a boat to explore Elizabeth Harbour, and drive to the ends of the island to see amazing beaches and beautiful blue water that are wonderful to see.

Not knowing what to expect I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw on arrival. The house was clean, the cooler held some things to get me through the first day.(I arrived in the evening on Easter-sunday)
Norman, the manager is constantly improving the site, and very willing to help you make it the best vacation ever.
Bonefishing was the reason going to Exuma, and I was not disappointed. I saw more big bonefish than on any other trip before, and very big ones too.
I improved my PR.
I can only recommend this place to anyone looking for a great vacation.

We also can recommends you somes places,for lunch or dinner(coconuts cove,peace and plenty,la shante,charley and also one very nice place on the beach with good foods and wonderfull owners (Elvis and Mary Ann Rolle)the "All occasion catering" totaly in the north end of Exuma (open saturday and sunday for lunch time,10 am to 6 pm).
For night life,The peace and plenty club is very funny.

it's at the Cays on Exuma island.A special thanks to the Cays owner, Mr Norman Wells and at his future wife Julie for their kindness and frienships.

TorontoGreat Hospitality and Fab Villas
Booking a last-minute holiday at "The Cays" made
the Best Christmas Break we have had in Years.
Prior to booking we were given open and honest
advice from Ann (bookings) and it put us at ease
transferring the funds prior to travel. The little
airport at Georgetown is a breeze to use and in 10
minutes from landing we had got the rental car and
drove the 5 miles to the Cays.
On arrival we got the 10 minute tour of our lovely
3 bed 3 bath Villa and it was spotless, all the
cooking equipment was new and we only had to buy
food the next day, Tea/Coffee and Milk were kindly
provided to help us out as we arrived after the
shops closed. We were invited to the Peace and
Plenty for drinks and the evening with Mike and Ann
was a great start to the holiday.
The Cays is/was the project of Norman Wells who
lives on-site, the landscaping is done personally
by Norman to give each Villa a good degree of
privacy and the Pool/Beach area was enough to relax
in the Sun with the odd beer from the "Honour" Bar
if you need it. Everyone goes out of their way to
ensure you are looked after, a booklet on other
Beaches, directions, places to eat helped us
explore the Island some days but we were content to
stay mostly on-site.
If you want to swim in the Sea in deeper water, you
will need to use the car and drive a few minutes to
one of the dozens of public access beaches on
Go to the "Chat and Chill" on Stocking Island using
the water Taxi (12 dollars return fare) and enjoy a
Goombay Smash with great food.
Charlies "Fish Fry" was tasty and simple.
The Cays is not a "resort" insofar that you do need
to have a Car to go out for dinners and grocery
shopping, it was however, very peaceful, private
and clean. Exactly as described only the Villas are
not done justice by the pictures. The Best Self-
Catering Holiday we have ever had!.We will be going
back and taking friends/family in 2010. Thanks to
Mike, Ann, Norman and Julie for making us welcome.

LondonA wonderful holiday in paradise!!
We throroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cays last year - everything was just perfect. The villa we rented was very comfortable, spacious and clean and provided the ideal accommodation for our stay.
The facilities at the Cays were excellent. Having the pool and beach area meant we never had to go far to enjoy the sun and swimming and having the bar onsite as well allowed us to sit by the pool either by day or night again without having to travel anywhere. All the facilities were very clean and safe - the pool, the bar area and the surrounding gardens which also added to the picturesque setting.
I would highly recommend a stay at the Cays to anyone and would definitely go back and spend another holiday there. -

I was truly impressed with the Cays. My cameraman and my self stayed in one of the many luxurious homes that are on site. The home was spacious, clean and had all the amenities. My hosts Norman Wells and Mike Walker made sure that we had every thing that we needed to make our stay very comfortable. For great bone fishing and just plain old R & R I highly recommend the Cays.

WYGreat for families and fisherman
Since the birth of our daughter our vacation requirements changed. We needed a place where she could have her own room. We have been to many islands in the Bahamas and decided on trying Great Exmua after getting some good reports from friends. I found the Cays online and contacted Norman Wells, one of the owners. Between he and Mike and Ann they made me feel very comfortable about coming to their property. The Cays had everything we needed, Flats fishing, a nice pool and a car included.
The 3 bedroom house was perfect and fully equipped for our stay. Ann even got a crib for us. We were able to mix cooking at home and dining out. Be sure to plan you food shopping as the stores are best stocked after the shipments come in. The property was located on a quiet spot of coastline and it felt like a neighborhood with the other guests all gathering around the pool or at the bar for chats.
The car was crucial as Exuma is a big island and the best beaches and restaurants you have to drive to. Beaches were beautiful and uncrowded and dining was fantastic. The locals are friendly and willing to help with any questions you might have.
We are looking forward to returning to the Cays this winter and revisiting some of our favorite Exuma places. -

WalesParadise Found
After weeks searching for a holiday to suit my fishing mad husband and 2 teenage children whos only requirement was a pool, I came across this site, crossed my fingers and booked it. To say pleasantly surprised is the biggest understatement I could give. The Villa was fantastic, stunning kitchen, all mod cons, lovely furnature ,big, airy, air con, 3 bathrooms. I was thrilled to say the least. The grounds outside had beautiful tropical trees and shrubs all lovingly landscaped and nurtured by Norman, one of the cays owners. From your deck , where you can spend time sunbathing or reading you walk down a path through the lovely landscaping to the pool and bar area where we spent many hours chatting to the other guests watching the children in the pool and chilling as the sun went down over the sea. The fishing side for my husband was awsome, the best bonefishing in the world with a bonefish flat virtually outside the villa, it was the most happy and relaxed I had seen him in a long time. What made our time at the Cays so special were the people we met. Anne, Mike, Norman and Julie who own and run the Cays are the nicest most caring people you could meet who think only of making your stay as perfect as it can be and we would like to thank them for all their help and advise of where to go what to do and the kindness and friendship shown to us . We did not want to go back home and the first thing the chidren asked was can we go back for christmas. We will be going back to the Cays, as once you have found the perfect holiday why look anywhere else!

kent-englandThe Cays Exuma, Bahamas-Highly Recommended
My first Visit to the cays was in the initial development phase and we stayed in one of the first properties built.
It has been nice to take my growing family back now a number of times to see thegreat progress that has been made.
You will be made to feel very welcome and will have the full benifit of all the on site facilities.
Need a car - all included as is the use of the Cays skiff if you feel like going out for a few hrs bonefishing. Located a 5 minute boat ride to the bonefish flats it everything a fisherman needs on a sportfishing holiday. With plenty to do arround the island for the rest of the family.
The beaches on exuma are of a very h igh standard and at times you can feel a million miles away from any other people.
Mike, Anee, Norman and Jules will ensure you have all you need for your stay.
The accomodation is first class.
Where else can you sit at the bar whilst the kids are swimming and do a spot of shark fishing with a cold beer in hand.
The island guides are the best in the world and will ensure that a days fishing on the flats will be a very productive day out.
Make sure you visit stocking island for the sunday hog roast. a butifull island with a fantastic beach.Detailed ratings for this rental

Shuster to tackle transportation
Much of the weight for highway funding falls on Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., the new chairman of the HouseTranspor-tation and Infrastructure Committee.T&I has primary responsibility in the House for drafting the next highway bill.
Shuster's first priority is a water resources bill, followed by a railroad reauthorization measure, but he plans to start work on highways soon.
Key to the effort will be figuring out how to pay for the investment, he said.
"With the Highway Trust Fund facing its own version of a fiscal cliff in the coming years, we must find a way to pay for transportation improvements without borrowing from our children," Shuster said in a recent editorial.
He said he will listen to all ideas on how to do that, and transportation people take that to mean he will at least contemplate fuel taxes.

Why You Will Still Grow Today's Big Perennial 10 Years From Now
What will be the next big perennial? Breeders say it takes more than a splashy plant to distinguish itself in the market. Therefore, the question is not what will be the next big perennial, but rather what perennial performs well enough in the garden to have staying power in the market for years to come.

Plants Love You Campaign Raises Plant Benefits To Foref…
Plants make us feel good. It's a no-brainer, backed by numerous studies, but there's more to the story. And it's one the Canadian Ornamental Horticulture Alliance (COHA) hopes its Plants Love You campaign will tell in such a way that it will inspire people to make plants a part of their life, and on a bigger scale. COHA is an alliance between the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association (CNLA), the Fédération Interdisciplinaire De L'Horticulture Ornementqale Du Québec (FIHOQ) and Flowers Canada Growers (FCG). Inspiration for The Plants Love You campaign came from COHA's research, which revealed that 96 percent of consumers surveyed have a favorable attitude toward plants. When COHA delved deeper into the numbers, one thing stood out loud and clear. "It quickly became apparent that while consumers like plants because they are pretty and make them feel good, few understood the environmental and health benefits plants offer." says Frank […]

On great players and forfeit follies
Hank Aaron would excel in today's game, and Barry Bonds would excel in Aaron's era.
Would Hank Aaron hit as many home runs if he played today? Would Barry Bonds be as great if he played in past eras?
Someone asked these questions in my ESPN.com chat last week, and my answer was (and is) "yes" in both cases. I believe a great player from the past would be great today, and a great player today would be great in any era.
If Bonds played when Aaron played, his home-run numbers probably wouldn't be as high, but he'd still be a great player. If Aaron played today, his numbers would be higher because it's easier to hit home runs today than in Aaron's era and my era (Aaron played from 1954-76 and I played from 1963-84). It isn't easy to hit homers today, but it's easier.
The ball today is livelier and many of the big, old stadiums -- like in Cincinnati, San Francisco, Houston, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and San Diego -- have been replaced by smaller, more intimate ballparks. Also, due to expansion, the pitching isn't as good overall as it was a generation ago. So bigger numbers are easier to attain today.
Usually we focus on the increase of home runs as evidence of the impact of the livelier ball and smaller ballparks. But bigger numbers have also come in the RBI department.
For instance, it's just early September, and already 19 batters in the major leagues have 100-plus RBI. In 1976, when I won my second National League MVP award, only seven major-league batters drove in 100 runs. My teammate, George Foster, led the majors with 121 RBI and I was second with 111. The designated hitter also leads to more RBI in the AL than in the NL (of the 19 batters currently with 100 RBI, 14 are in the AL).
There was a time when 105 or 110 RBI was a great season. Today, that isn't the case. But even with the single-season increase in RBI, one record that I believe will stand for a long time is Aaron's career RBI record (2,297). Bonds is the closest active player (1,835).
Granted, part of the reason for the offensive trend of the past decade is that there are more great hitters today than ever before. Players today are bigger, stronger and often faster than in the past. They're far more athletic, which helps them defensively as well. I watch defensive plays made now that you wouldn't have thought possible before. The plays seen every day on Baseball Tonight's Web Gems segment are mind-boggling.
Another factor in the increased offense is that video technology today helps hitters much more than pitchers.
Derek Jeter told me that he can pop up in the first inning, and before he bats again, he can look at video of the sequence of pitches in his first at-bat to see what he did wrong or what the pitcher did to get him out. That way, he can make better adjustments from at-bat to at-bat. Before video was available, a hitter might go several games before realizing he was, say, dropping his hands too quickly.
I sat in the video room with Luis Gonzalez one day while he was viewing video of Jason Schmidt, who was scheduled to pitch that night. Gonzalez could see Schmidt's arm slot on the changeup, curveball, fastball, etc. When a hitter can see that over and over on video, he can pick it up better in the batter's box. While pitchers can benefit some from video, it especially helps hitters.
To summarize: Today's great players would be great in any era. But I also believe that Babe Ruth would be great if he played today and maybe even hit more home runs (remember, he played with a less lively baseball).
So I don't want to take anything away from today's players. And I also want to be clear that if Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays all played in the same era, they would all be great players. The numbers would be different, depending on the era, but they would still dominate that era.
Bonds |
I said earlier that Bonds' home-run numbers probably would be lower in another era, but let's revisit that ... because he actually might be the exception, since opposing teams of the past would pitch to him more.
In Hank Aaron's era, pitching to hitters was a matter of pride and competition. No matter how many home runs Aaron hit, he wasn't walked every time runners were in scoring position and first base was open.
Managers have gone way too far with Bonds. They rationalize that they're trying to win the game, but that's the easy way out. Bonds doesn't hit a home run on every swing. Teams have walked him leading off an inning in a tie game, despite the frequency with which the leadoff batter scores after getting on base.
I've seen several games this year when the San Francisco Giants were in a tie game in the late innings, Bonds was walked intentionally to lead off, and he then scored the winning run.
While the numbers of most hitters today would decrease because of the larger parks and less lively baseball, Bonds' numbers might be equal to his numbers today if he played in a past era because he'd get more at-bats.
Forfeit Follies
I was supposed to broadcast the New York Yankees-Tampa Bay Devil Rays game scheduled for Monday afternoon that caused a controversy this week.
I traveled to New York on Monday after my Sunday night game in Cleveland and was originally told that the doubleheader between the Yankees and Devil Rays would be at 1 p.m. When I arrived in New York I learned that the doubleheader would start at 3 p.m. instead. Then, when I got to the ballpark, I was told that the Devil Rays hadn't even left Tampa yet.
I heard sound bites from the Yankees, including GM Brian Cashman, who said that the Devil Rays should have departed for New York on Friday and should forfeit the game. Since then, MLB rescheduled the missed game for Wednesday (making for a doubleheader), and the Yankees have dropped their forfeit request.
Normally, a rule is cut-and-dry, and the Devil Rays would have to forfeit the game. The Yankees technically have a case, but since Hurricane Frances is clearly an extenuating circumstance, I don't see how they could ask for a forfeit. The hurricane was bombarding Florida, and Devil Rays players have families and friends and homes there.
There comes a time when sports has to take a back seat to real life. |
My 13-year-old daughter Kelly (Ashley's twin) asked me, "Dad, should Tampa Bay be penalized?" I thought for a moment and said, "I wouldn't leave you girls -- I wouldn't leave you to face that alone."
The Devil Rays were heading on a two-week road trip. What if they had left home early and then something happened to a family member while they were in New York? Think about the effect that could have had on the children of those players. How would they have felt about and viewed their dads?
The more you look at it, the more you realize that this rare occurrence should be treated just like a rainout. There were lots of rumors at Yankee Stadium on Monday about which official told what to whom, but none of that matters. It wouldn't have been fair to the Boston Red Sox to give the Yankees a free game.
We can't control a hurricane, but we can control how we deal with it. The Devil Rays dealt with it the right way.

Iran and Afghanistan – two big stories for our Headliner this week: Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Arguably the most influential voice on the President's national security team, Secretary Gates is critical in framing the Afghan strategic review for President Obama, who just last Sunday told me he was skeptical about sending more troops to Afghanistan. We'll talk to Secretary Gates about the leaked McChrystal report warning of failure in Afghanistan if more troops were not sent and confirmation Friday that Iran has concealed a second nuclear enrichment site.
Then, an EXCLUSIVE interview with Republican Senator John McCain, who is leading the call to send more troops to Afghanistan. Senator McCain has been supportive of the President's Afghanistan policy, but is now criticizing the President for delaying a decision to send in more troops.
On our roundtable, Bob Woodward of the Washington Post, the first reporter to get his hands on the 66-page McChrystal report. His story on Monday set off the debate in Washington. He'll be joined by The New York Times' Thomas Friedman, ABC News' Martha Raddatz and George Will to debate Afghanistan, national security policy and all of the weeks politics.
You won't want to miss this. See you Sunday.

US 3965706 A Abstract The specification discloses a locking device for luggage, especially luggage having hinged parts adapted to be joined along the edges by a separable fastener having a pair of slider elements which meet to close the fastener and which have pull tabs secured together to hold the fastener in closed position. The locking device comprises an upstanding pn or stud, displaced laterally of the line of the separable fastener, to which the slider pull tabs are anchored, a locking flap anchored to one part of the luggage case so as to overlie the stud to which the slider tabs are anchored and having a latch which engages in a lock secured to the other part of the luggage case. The flap has a hole through which the anchoring stud extends in the locked position of the flap. The anchoring stud is secured to a base plate and the lock is fastened to the luggage case wall in a fixed relation to the base plate.
Claims(3) 1. A locking device for a luggage case of the type having two parts joined by a separable fastener with a pair of sliders meeting in the closed position of the fastener, wherein the improvement comprises a flap anchored on one part of the luggage case and a lock member on the other part, the flap having thereon a latch which engages in the lock member to lock the parts of the luggage case against separation, a stud fixed in the wall of one of said parts of the luggage case laterally of the line of said separable fastener, to which the pull tabs of said sliders are adapted to be anchored to lock the separable fastener in closed position, said flap overlying said stud and having therein a hole which registers with said stud and through which the stud extends in the locked position of said flap thereby to prevent access to the pull tabs of the sliders while they are anchored to the said stud in the closed position of the fastener.
2. A locking device for a luggage case according to claim 1, wherein a base plate underlies said lock member on the opposite side of the luggage case wall, and wherein securing means that extend through the wall of the luggage case separably anchors the lock member and base plate in fixed relation, said stud being fixed to said base plate and projecting through a hole in the wall of the luggage part to the outside thereof for engagement by the hole in said flap.
3. A locking device for a luggage case according to claim 1, wherein said flap comprises a flexible sheet member attached to said one part on a line closely adjacent to and paralleling said slide fastener, said flap being of such length that in the locked position thereof it tautly overlies the pull tabs of the sliders anchored on said stud.
Description This invention relates to locking devices for luggage, especially to locking devices which perform a dual locking function in locking the hinged parts of the luggage together as well as locking the tabs of slide fastener elements in closed position. Various arrangements are known for securing the pull tab of a slide fastener element in closed position or for securing a plurality of slide fastener pull tabs together in closed position. U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,557,382, 2,223,347, and 2,398,947 show slide fastener locking arrangements which are typical of this type of locking arrangement. When used for luggage, such slide fastener locking arrangements are objectionable partly by reason of appearance and partly by reason of exposure to weather and lack of security due to ease of access to the pull tabs. A more recent improvement in this field, shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,597,945, provides a hinged latch plate on one of two connected parts of luggage, which plate has a portion that overlies a locking stud, for the two pull tabs of a slide fastener joining the luggage parts, in the locked position of the latch plate. A combination lock accessible through an opening in the latch plate is provided for releasing the latch and enabling access to the slide fastener tabs. It is an object of this invention to provide a slide fastener locking arrangement for luggage cases which is simpler in construction than that of the U.S. Pat. No. 3,597,945 and which at the same time locks the parts of the luggage case together independently of the slide fastener. To attain the above object I provide a flexible latch flap on one part of a luggage case which latches in a lock on the other luggage part, which latch flap overlies a locking stud for the tabs of a slide fastener joining the two luggage parts. Moreover, I provide the latch flap with a hole into which the locking stud extends in the latched position of the flap, thereby insuring against dislodgement of the slide fastener tabs from the stud. In addition, I provide a base member underlying the lock and having holes through which extend means for attaching the lock securely to the wall of the luggage, in fixed relation to the base member to which the locking stud is fixed. A preferred embodiment of the invention including the above features and other details will be more fully described hereinafter in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein: FIG. 1 is a fragmental perspective view, showing the essentials of my novel locking arrangement; FIG. 2 is a plan view, at substantially full scale, showing the manner in which the latch flap overlies the locking stud for slide fastener tabs in the latched position of the flap; and FIG. 3 is a fragmental sectional view, on a somewhat enlarged scale, showing the manner in which the lock base plate and locking stud are attached to the wall of the luggage case. Referring to the drawings, there is shown fragmentally a luggage case 10, having two parts 11 and 12 which are joined along mating edges by a separable fastener 13. Separable fastener 13 comprises two sliders 14 and 15 which approach each other from opposite directions and which meet in abutting relation in the completely closed position of the fastener. According to my invention, I provide a so-called latch flap 16, secured at one end to the wall of luggage part 12 as by several rivets 17. The rivets 17 serve to attach the flap 16 to the wall of the luggage case part 12 on a line closely adjacent to the separable fastener 13 for a purpose hereinafter made apparent. Latch flap 16 is preferably made of flexible vinyl sheet material corresponding in substance and color to that of the covering material of the luggage case 10. A laminated or multiple sheet construction of the flap 16 may be provided, stitched adjacent the edges as shown, to insure suitable strength. At its free end flap 16 has secured thereto as by a rivet 18, an end plate 19 of U-shaped cross-section, so as to overlie both faces of the flap. The underside of the end plate has a latching loop 20 formed on or attached thereto. A leaf spring element 21 secured by rivet 18 extends into the loop 20 and is biased to assist in separation of the latch loop 20 from an opening 22 of a lock 23 presently to be described. As will be more readily seen in FIG. 3, lock 23 comprises a flat outer metallic shell 24 of generally horseshoe shape. Within the shell is secured a flat box-shaped lock mechanism 25 having a latch element 26, underlying the rectangular opening 22 in the shell 24 and with which the latch loop 20 cooperates. On the upper face of shell 24 is a frusto-conical projection 27 having a circular recess 28. Formed in the recess is a suitable slot and opening (not shown) for receiving a key to operate the lock mechanism 25. Projection 27 has a number of tabs 29, one of which is shown, which project through suitable slits in the shell 24 and which engage the lock mechanism 25 to hold it inside the shell 24. Lock mechanism 25 has a plurality of fingers 31, two of which are shown, which extend through slits in the covering 32 of vinyl material forming part of the wall of the luggage case, and through corresponding holes in a base plate 33 underlying the shell 24 of lock 23. When fingers 31 are bent at a right angle from the extended position thereof, shown in broken lines, they serve to attach the lock 23 and base plate 33 tightly together on opposite sides of the vinyl covering 32. In actual fact, the wall of the luggage case may include a reinforcement or frame of laminated wood which, for simplicity, is omitted from the drawings. Attached to base plate 33, as by riveting thereto, is a pin or stud 35, to which the tabs 36 and 37 of sliders 14 and 15 may be anchored in the closed position of the sliders. As will be seen particularly in FIG. 1, the tabs 36 and 37 have substantially rectangular openings 38 and 39 therein, by which the tabs may be slipped over the locking stud 35. A tubular metallic eye 40 is preferably provided around the stud 35, partly for appearance and partly to assist in manual pickup of the tabs. As will be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, latch flap 16 is provided with an appropriately located hole in which is fixed, a tubular metallic eye 41. The hole and eye are so located as to register with and slip over stud 35 when the latch flap 16 overlies the tabs 36 and 37 of sliders 14 and 15, in their anchoring position over the stud 35, as shown in broken lines in FIG. 2, and while the latch loop 20 is firmly latched under latch element 26 of locking mechanism 25. It will also be seen that by reason of the attachment of flap 16 by rivets 17 on a line closely adjacent to the line of fastener 13, the flap closely overlies and covers the pull tabs of sliders 14 and 15 at the point of jointure of the sliders. From the foregoing description it will seem that I have provided a novel locking arrangement for luggage of the type having a separable fastener, wherein a so-called latch flap serves to lock two parts of a luggage case together while at the same time insuring against dislodgement of the tabs of sliders of the separable fastener from a locking stud. It will also be seen that I have provided in simple manner for insuring a fixed relation between the lock for the latching flap and the locking stud for the tabs of the separable fastener sliders.
