Totally agree, I don't know if I would be able to fix a problem like that at sea, and who knows what the situation was. Maybe they tried everything, there could have been a lot of things going wrong at once for all we know. With the boat moving seasickness makes it hard to fix anything too.
I have always been concerned about losing the rudder and have tried a few suggestions such as adjusting sail trim that I found here. I have no idea if I would be able to sail long distance without a rudder, but I hope that I could.
Here is a thread on this subject I started when I first joined Sailnet.

With Addison Reed gone in Monday's trade, the White Sox have a vacancy at closer. But it's not one Rick Hahn feels the need to yet officially fill.
Hahn said the White Sox have several internal candidates to take over in the ninth inning for Reed, who was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for 22-year-old third baseman Matt Davidson. But with nearly two months of transactions still ahead, Hahn doesn't want to yet define one.
That doesn't mean the White Sox have added closer to their wish list of acquisitions to be made either. As Hahn pointed out, the White Sox entered spring training in 2012 without a defined closer and spent 117 days in first place.
"I don't feel the urgency to anoint anyone the closer," Hahn said. "Frankly our scouts and player development people have done a real nice job over the years providing us with options, and I'm confident that's going to continue."
[MORE: White Sox trade closer Addison Reed to Arizona]
Hahn identified Nate Jones, Matt Lindstrom and Daniel Webb as the team's possible in-house candidates to fill the void. Ronald Belisario, whose deal should be completed soon, could also be in the mix.
Filling Reed's shoes won't be easy.
The right-hander took over as closer for Hector Santiago in May 2012 and held a strong grip on the role. He converted 29 of 33 saves in his first season on the job and netted 40 more in 48 attempts in 2013. Reed struck out 138 batters in 133 2/3 innings and brought a veteran mentality to the role even though he took over at age 23.
But Hahn is confident the White Sox can find an answer, especially after they were able to net a potential everyday third baseman in exchange.
"Obviously we have some internal candidates ... who could potentially fill that role," Hahn said. "We still have some other acquisitions, one of which hasn't been announced, that will help supply some depth for the bullpen. Just like we entered the 2012 season without anyone specifically anointed the closer, we were able to obviously be in first place a large stretch of that season despite entering spring training without having anyone written in stone in that role. I just don't feel it's beneficial to do that in mid-December."

How can you not like a guy willing to get back in the ring in less than a month. I hope they can pull off a miracle and make this happen.
Devastated by the criticism of his performance at UFC 90 "Silva vs. Cote", UFC middleweight champion has asked the UFC to put him on the fight card at UFC 91, just three weeks later. In an interview with the Las Vegas Review, UFC President Dana White expresses a glimpse of hope that it could happen.
Dana White:
"it might not be impossible."
"He's flipping out. He wants to fight again, like, on Nov. 15 … He's (upset) about his performance and he wants to fight again immediately."
Silva expresses his frustration:
"I didn't come here to play. I didn't come here to put on a show … I came here to do my job and I didn't become a champion and defend the title as many times as I have by not doing my job."
While it could be a possibility, the article points out that it might be next to impossible to find a suitable opponent to fight Silva on just two and a half weeks notice.
How can you not like a guy willing to get back in the ring in less than a month. I hope they can pull off a miracle and make this happen.
I thought it was funny afterwards when he said not to boo Cote. He's so caught up in his own hype he didn't even realize they were booing his weak ass performance.
I also think that they were booing him. But I do like the fact that he wants to fight again so quickly. Maybe he was just bored with Cote. If he does fight in Nov. I hope it is at 205. Let him kick Jardine's ass.
Anyone who boo's the greatest fighter alive, after a win, is fukin retarded. He was controlling the fight and was just waitin for his chance to knock Cote out. Its not his fault Cote's knee gave out. But Michael Bisping is the ONLY middleweight that deserves a shot, so they should fight at UFC 93.
I would rather see Okami fight Silva.
u know if Chuck is ready its been about the right amount of time since he fought in ufc 88. they could go at it at a catchweight. or how about:
Leben he would do it (only problem is it wouldnt be fair to give him a title shot)
Koscheck hes fighting twice in 48 days might as well make it three times
Robbie Lawler a unifying belts match oh wait never mind his belt is expired
Kendall Grove spyder vs spyda match
none of these are likely to happen but maybe dana can put together another UFN just for a silva or maybe he gets in on the fight for the troops
I dont think it will happen less than 3wks away to find an auitable opponent to fight Silva…i hate to say it but that is going to tough to find and if it does happen what type of fight is it going to be on such short notice most likely Silva will win so thats not fair to the other fighter for having short notice but as they say always be prepared to fight anyone at anytime.
watch Fedor step up.
IF silva gets a fight at UFC 91(which he probably wont) it would have to be against 1. Kendall Grove 2. Rob MacDonald or 3.Ed Herman cause they are the only 3 that havent fought n a while, could take a fight on short notice, and Im sure any 3 of them would love to fight him. Then Silva would beat there ass, keep his belt, then in a couple more months- Fight Bisping at UFC 95!
Fuck Bisping. Sorry, thats just my opinion. I say have Kimbo fight Silva. Not gonna happen, but it would be funny. I thought you couldn't have 2 fights in less than a month according to the athletic commission. I could be wrong on that. TJ, I agree with what you say about booing Silva even though he won, but he had an amount of disrespect that was unnecessary. I don't like him any less, it just wasn't like him.
HAHAHA KIMBO!! R u kiddin me man? kimbo isnt even a real mma fighter. he a street fighter that beat up a couple of OLD men. (Tank Abbott+Ray Mercer) but he just lost to Petruzelli. Dana White would never let that bitch anywhere near the UFC! and he'd never fight n the UFC! and Ryan, I dont like Bisping either but he definetly deserves a title shot. So jus watch Silva knock his ass out n the 1st round and laugh whenever they fight!
true true. I just want to see Kimbo put on his ass HARD. I know Silva would do it.
derek, that was too funny. How about Ken Shamrock? He seems like he is ready to lose another match. He needs to continue to losing streak
I don't want to see him fight Okami. He will destroy him. He will destroy anyone but specially him. The UFC has to start bringing in other guys because he is leaps and bounds above everyone in the division. They should go after Lawlor, Belfort, Lindland…he will beat them all but at least he could beat someone else before he goes through the division a second time and Franklin for a third! You can't blame him for a shitty performance. he is bored. I propose that 2 fighters fight him at once…maybe they will have a shot. i could see knocking out Leben and Grove with one punch!
Too bad Vitor isnt the vitor of old. I would have lved to see him then go at it with Silva now. But even if Anderson does fight at UFC 91 it wont be against anyone with great skills. They arent gonna risk him loing it will be another Cote skill lvl fighter no better but maybe worse. I would rather see him fight 3 months from now and fight someone who is a challenge. Like a top 10 guyin the LHW division. I would have booed him if I paid to go and see that fight. Him and Cote for hurting himself. Anderson hit him with his best shots and Cote ate them. To me it looked like it was going to go to decision. Anderson didnt want to trade with Cote and was fighting like his buddy Machida. That shit is boring. Anderson is IMO not the best fighter alive. Until he beats the top guys in the world which are at 205 like rampage… then he shouldnt be considered the best but only one of the best. I dont think he would KO leben with 1 punch he would do it with knees and leben would fall over like the last time. Yeah his punches are strong but still it takes a lot to put leben away not just 1 punch. Also if Anderson retires after his UFC career i would love to see him box. If Roy Jones Jr brings any of his speed from the 90's to a fight with Silva then ouch c ya Anderson. And if Silva wants to fight the best boxer out there right now at Super Middleweight isnt RJ jr its Joe Calzaghe and if u havent seen him fight then watch him against RJ Jr on 11-8-08. PPV. Calzaghe has unbelievable hand speed. He would destroy Anderson at boxing. Not so much at kickboxing or mma though lol.
I agree a Boxer has the edge in MMA but overall ability goes to the MMA fighter and i think Anderson Silva would win if this bout happened under MMA rules.
Bottom line is that MMA is alot closer to a real fight then boxing is. A boxer can box in an MMA match but an MMA fighter can ONLY box in a boxing match. An MMA fight would show who the best fighter is period cause you can do everything. Example: Roy beats Silva in boxing match then Silva beats Roy in MMA match. What if they met on the street and fought? Most likely the MMA fighter would kick that shit out of a boxer.
Exactly…well said.
I dont think so. I bet Anderson if in a street fight would try abnd stand and in the first few exchanges he would get hurt and finished. All u would need to do is have a boxer with Liddell takedowns and he would be the champ but Boxers make so much money that there is no point getting involved with MMA. Yeah if an MMA takes the boxer down but that dont prove shit IMO. A real man stands and fights. People who are scarred to get hit take it to the ground. Now if u r taking someone down b/c u r at a disadvantage standing then thats what u should do. But dont act like ur a badass. I like the ground game but it doesnt make u tough. Have u guys ever seen a street fight with a good wrestler and a boxer. I have seen this many times and on the streets the boxer beats the hell out of him. Now yeah if the wrestler gets it to the ground he lays on him trying to do damage but never really does much. It makes its way up to the feet and bam boxer wins KO. Of course the wrestler could always take him down and do punishment but usually wrestlers just lay on the guy worrying about position. Now Koscheck is a good example. Kos is a high lvl wrestler with good stand up. U put him in a street fight with na guy with decent takedown defense and a good stand up game Koscheck is in serious trouble. Just my opinion but boxers have the advantage street fighting. But in the cgae the wrestler can get in without getting cut up and ko because of the gloves and all and the rules but on the streets its anything goes. I have more respect for a man who is willing to stand and try and knock a guy out then a guy who can only take it to the ground. Taking it down is a way of getting out of danger. Real baddasses like danger and love to show people that they r not to be fucked with. U cant make somebody feel like u just beat them unless u KO them. If u have ever fought u know what I mean. It just makes them feel so bad when u KO them but when u choke them out they wake up and r willing to go at it again another time. Try it out and u will see.
anderson should fight in UFC 92 vs Yushin Okami..
That would be awesome…
I hope they do it soon
silva is becaming a boring fighter just like lyoto machida. dont they train together?
Yeah they train together but Anderson isnt usually to hestitant to engage and doesnt mind putting himself in danger to land that huge shot. Machida never puts himself in danger. He wins but its boring and Anderson though yeah its only 1 fight but u never know what is gonna happen. Maybe I shouldnt call him a boring fighter just yet but if he does that shit again then I am sticking ith the boring part:)
already talking about anderson being boirng…really? after one bad fight?
if cote lasted to 4 and silva took his head off nobody here would be comparing anderson to machida.
i agree w kom34. but i think Bisping should fight okami at UFC 93, then the winner should get a shot at Silva, but i think Bisping deserves a shot more than okami. i think bisping wud beat okami, then get his ass kicked by silva. theres no-way silva will fight at ufc 91. maybe he shouldnt have been fuckin around his last fight. now u gotta wait another 2-3 months kid.
haha thats right. i think silva was f'n around too much in that fight. he was trying to have too much fun because he wasn't that afraid of cote's power. i think okami wins that fight with bisping though.
brock vs spider
fedor vs brock
spider vs fedor
gonzaga vs. brock
nog vs brock
couture v fedor
spider was beating cote.
cote looked great though. lindland would take down spider a nd keep him down
are you serious steve? when i choke people out its even funnier and more satisfying because when they wake up most the time im 30 feet away looking at them and they dont even know what just happend and its funny because they cant even stop a rear naked without the hooks lol
comment number 18 was the most retarded thing i think ive ever read on this site. seriously steve u have some good points on other topics but that was just bad i dont even know where to begin.
"Kos is a high lvl wrestler with good stand up. U put him in a street fight with na guy with decent takedown defense and a good stand up game Koscheck is in serious trouble"
hahahahhahahahaha ur seriously mentally chalenged if u think that. u think a double leg can't be preformed on the street aswell as in a cage??? when u get slammed in the street u dont fucking get up u break bone and get pounded out.
"I have more respect for a man who is willing to stand and try and knock a guy out then a guy who can only take it to the ground. Taking it down is a way of getting out of danger. Real baddasses like danger and love to show people that they r not to be fucked with"
ground game is just as big a part of fighting as stand up if not more bro. almost all fights end up going to the ground. ive found that the only people who dis on ground game, jitz, wrestling, or anything other than crazy flailing are just people who couldnt handle wrestling in highschool so they try to make fun of it calling it gay or stupid when in reality it's their own insecurities because they are like a fish out of water when they hit the ground.
"All u would need to do is have a boxer with Liddell takedowns and he would be the champ "
ya cause liddell takes people down so much right?
"Now if u r taking someone down b/c u r at a disadvantage standing then thats what u should do. But dont act like ur a badass"
jesus steve i dont even have anymore time picking that comment apart i have to go to work. it was just bad man. just plain bad.
Yeah Steve, I think I disagree completely. I agree with Dane, almost all fights end up hitting the floor because almost no one really knows how to fight, so they get so close they embrace, then fall. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most fighters whose standup sucks and ground game is great, can usually pull through, and fighters whose ground game sucks and standup is great, usually don't. Thats just what I have noticed, and it could be just me. Ground game may also look like a non-badass way of fighting because you can't truely end a fight on the ground like you can on the feet. In standup, you can knock them out cold so they cannot physically stand up to keep fighting, where with ground fighting, you would have to break a bone or hyperextend something or tear something. And who gives a shit about looking like a badass. Too many people get caught up with that. Just do what you do. No disrespect to you Steve, that's just how I feel about the subject. It really is an arguement that can go either way.
I can't believe someone on a site like this would even jokingly say/write/think that. Steve, I know you get it into with a lot of people and we even had a few exchanges but even I don't agree, you have made some decent points. This time, all I can say is WOW!!! In a street fight, there is nothing safer than taking someone down (if you know what you are doing) because any drunk, any hot head, any tough-guy could get lucky with a punch. I worked as a bouncer and a guy was going crazy. He was not huge but must have been on something…anyway, I jumped on his back and put him to sleep, dragged him out and woke him up outside. He woke up and did not know what happened. He looked around, got up, and ran away. That was something and I was only a Blue Belt in BJJ at the time. For that basic rear naked choke, I got pussy for weeks and guys kept asking me what martial art I study. I didn't have to throw not 1 punch and never got punched. And who walked away from that exchange like a champ? Think about what you are gonna write before you write it.
Have to agree, from my bartending days there is nothing like a good choke, armbar, pressure point, or kimora type arm hold to get someone to go where ever you want them to go. And in a street fight I have seen lil crazy fuckers destroy huge guys, like many have said all it takes it one good punch or lift and dump and your out cold. not like fighting in a ring.
Wow u guys need to get in more fights. Come to Dayton OH and ill show u what happens to wrestlers. As long aswe dont go to far into the ghetto ass side streets we should be ok. I have seen a lot and if u feel that choking someone out is more satisfying then koing someone then ur not a true fighter imo. BJJ is great for competition and self defense shit. But to develop as a stand up fighter u have to have guts, a good chin and experience. Just go to a mall or a close or near by city with a guy or 2 and start talking shit. U will get tough or u will find out that u aint ever gonna be tough lol. Sorry guys but a brutal KO is the best feeling in the world with the exception of a nice piece of ass.
I guess that I am like the only guy on this site that perfers to stand and trade and likes to get hit in the face. Maybe its b/c of how I was raised but hopefully u guys can see where im coming from when I say slamming someone to the ground and laying on them will not test ur heart like getting punched in the mouth blood all over u and u still being able to push through it all and beat the guys ass. Look at forrest grffin he had his arm broke and he came back and knocked the guy out. He is one tough motherfucker. Thats the kind of people I respect not the people like Travis Lutter.
"I guess that I am like the only guy on this site that perfers to stand and trade and likes to get hit in the face"
No offense but Mr. Dayton Ohio lol you act like you have been hit in the face sooooo many times and you just love it… im not trying to be a big internet tough guy but seriously sometimes it gets too hard to ingore the straight up stupidity that steve spews out on this site.
Talk shit about travis lutter man he would twist u into a pretzel and make u cry like the little groundless and spineless guy you are. I'm pretty sure lutter's atleast knocked out eastmen who have u knocked out? ooooops sorry i forgot you're sucha badass street fighter laugh THE FUCK OUT LOUD! Dont hurt me!!!!
i can understand that you like only stand up fighting steve really we all can… if i didnt understand what was going on when the fight hit the ground i would be frusterated by my own ignorance aswell… learn what is happening on the ground and how hard it is to go from being in someones gaurd to gettin side control and maybe more people would respect ur crued language and vulgar writting. but if that's all you understand and can relate to my aggressive internet shit talking friend go watch some rocky movies or some boxing matches because i think that might keep you much, much more interested. this is an mma site, and the reason people have been attacking you SOOOOOO hard is because you are straight up clueless. anyone can punch someone in the head. i have seen some pretty funny geeks swing it out in my day and everyone goes that was crazy or man that was funny afterwards.
IT IS A LOT HARDER TO PULL OFF A LUCKY SUBMISSION THAN A LUCKY PUNCH… did u hear me steve? I know you are slow so i will say it one more time in slow brain terms
-Far more punches are thrown than submissions. a submission is pulled off by everything in your body working out at the right moment while a punch could end a fight by just someone flailing and somehow connecting on another persons jaw or temple.
just a question steven
how many lucky submissions have you done lately? do you think you could armbar a jui jitsui champion if he wasnt ready? Cuz im pretty sure i could knock out a street fighter if he wasn't looking my direction.
Steve the street fighting legend/internet tough guy from dayton ohio. You are a fucking joke. Your new name is Marlon Sims.

My family and I have enjoyed numerous vacations in Florida and have always rented villa's on the Lake Berkley resort. We have visited friends in other resorts but the locality to all the attractions and the fact that Lake Berkley is a secure 24hr security guarded and gated resort really makes Lake Berkley special !!.
There are plenty of other resorts that we could have chosen to stay, and in fact many of our friends did chose the less exclusive, cheaper option. However they were always round at our house and always commented on its 'Superiority' to other resorts.
The very first time I travelled on a plane we came over to Florida..... which was quite late in my life compared to some and we fell in love with the place, the people and especially the resort.
We cater for families that travel from not just the USA and Canada but from all over the world.
We alway keep our house in the best possible condition, with regular visits each year to make upgrades to our already fabulously equipped house. So watch this space for a potential theater room coming very soon !!
Our grandchildren love the place and we are fond of being close enough to the parks to be able to pop back home mid afternoon, have a dip in our pool and then go back for the evening entertainment. A whole 12 hours at the Disney parks can be a little too much for us 'Seniors' !!
The manned 24 hour security gate provides peace of mind for me and my family, and the resort itself is always extremely well kept by the numerous groundsmen who work very hard to maintain the standard we have become used to.
Betty purchased this villa in 2011
We decided on Lake Berkley mainly because of its location to Disney and the other parks. Our home is close enough to pop back from Disney in the afternoon, take a dip in the pool and freshen up before returning for the night time fireworks display.
The resort has a great, fully heated communual pool which caters well for younger children with a smaller pool.
The gym is ideal for a quick workout and again is on site so you dont have to go far.
Also the huge Wallmart is only 3 minutes away in the car and is ideal for stocking up with goodies !
Every time we come accross we are extremely pleased to see how well the grounds are kept. The fishing lake is well stocked and provides a great place for our sons to catch fish whilst we look on from the comfort of our Hot tub overlooking the lake.
We feel that our home is unique to many others and provides an excellent way to enjoy your central Florida vacation for the following reasons......
1) We are a polite, friendly and responsive family who ALWAYS reply to any contact we have with our guests within 90 minutes. (Between 0700 and 2200 GMT).
Why anyone would book a home where the owner takes 5-6 hours to get back to them is beyond me ?
2) We offer a FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED games room. NOT just a hot garage with a pool table in it. Our games room includes PS3, Slate bed pool table (Not a $400 table from Walmart) , Gaming chairs and professional foosball table.
3) Our 220V HOT TUB includes a full embiance package which includes MP3 docking station and coloured lighting. We did not opt for the less expensive 110V models like many other homes. Why would you want to waste time waiting for the hot tub to warm up whilst you are on vacation.....time is precious !!
4) We offer a unique lake view looking out over the larger of the lakes at Lake Berkley. This lake is the only lake in which the houses that back over it are not overlooked by any neighbours. For guests who DONT want to be watched eating their breakfast alfresco style or enjoying family time in the pool then this villa is for you.
5) We offer a range of extra's to our guests including two sets of golf clubs, fishing rods, a sat nav unit, high chairs, baby strollers, stair gates and tennis rackets to name a few.
6)Our electronic entertainment equipment includes a full cable TV package,
Flat screen HDTV with DVD players in all bedrooms, a huge 55 inch flat screen TV,PS3, a plasma TV in the games room, blu ray player and Ipod docking station.
Hi Betty,
Many thanks for prompt return of the security deposit which we received today.
Just like to say thanks from all our party for the use of your lovely villa for the last two weeks. It was all as described and more. We have stayed in a number of villas in Orlando before and we all agreed this was the best. The house itself was immaculate but the location was just amazing . The outlook on to the lake was so beautiful and was so relaxing on our down times. I would certainly recommend your villa to all our friends as i think they could not go wrong in choosing yours if they were organising a trip to Florida. If there was any website that you would like me to leave a review on I would be happy to oblige.
Once again many thanks.
David Bromley
Stayed from end of March 2015 until mid April. Villa well proportioned with good layout (especially for a few families staying together). Everything we needed and all clean. Private pool area with great outlook. Clean pool and very hot spa. Great location for all parks and close to supermarkets and restaurants, yet very peaceful, quiet and secure. Perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun. Hopefully will be back to stay in a few years - highly recommend to all. Many thanks to owners and their management company.
We arrived in the Villa early evening on 3 January. We were pleasantly impressed with how spacious and beautiful the home was. The ceilings are very high and the layout is amazing. Although we had a little issue with the spa and the heat for the swimming pool, those concerns were fixed immediately. The management company is excellent, the owners are very quick to reply.
We enjoyed the game room. I think we played pool every night. The large tub in the master bedroom was perfect. The view of the lake in the morning is beyond amazing. It makes for a perfect walk in the morning. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. Everything is within a few minutes drive.
This is a gated community which adds to the attractiveness of this home. There are 24 hour guards and they are very friendly and polite. I would not hesitate for one moment staying here again. Thank you very much
Just arrived back home from a 3 week stay in Florida. Before booking we took a long while comparing different options and due to the details and photos posted online we booked Betty's lakeside villa in Kissimmee. We found the villa easy to locate and our first impressions on arrival were that the villa was better than we could have ever expected. Everything we could have needed for our 3 week stay was on hand. The villas pool and hot tub went down a treat with all of the guests young and old and is a must if you book.
Throughout our stay we visited all of the theme parks and after speaking with friends and relatives confirmed that the villa is situated perfectly for all of the parks - between 15 - 20 mins and only 2 mins from Walmart!!
All in all this villa is highly recommended by us and our friends, you'll struggle to find something as big and with the views that this offers.
We stayed for two weeks in July / Aug 2014, family of 5 with children 11, 16, 18. House was of a very high standard and we especially appreciated the air conditioned games room (many are not and are too hot to enjoy in peek summer months, the hot tub which was just fabulous (a full size hot tub not just an add on to the pool) and the heated pool which was a real luxury.
The location was good with plenty of quality restaurants nearby also close to I4 and International Drive and all parks.
The management team were also excellent, we had one reason to speak to them and they were extremely efficient.
Overall we were very impressed and felt the property was very well maintained and had all of the mod-cons needed for a truly enjoyable family holiday, we would be happy to recommend and would consider staying here again.
We have stayed in several vacation homes in Florida and this was by far the best. Location near Disney, shops and restaurants is great. The homeowner was great to work with and answered all of my questions very quickly. The home was clean and the beds were comfortable. The lake view was wonderful and the family had a great time fishing. Loved the pool and separate hot tub. The pictures are very accurate. We had 7 adults and 4 kids and had plenty of room. We very much appreciated the baby items including beds, high chairs and strollers.
We would definitely return and recommend to our friends and family.
My mom decided to take the whole family to Orlando for the holidays. We stayed here from 12/27/13-1/4/14. Our party consisted of my mom, my family with kids aged 14,17 & 20 and my brothers family with kids age 4 & 8. The house was perfect. The kids loved the pool and I loved the hot tub. The weather was not that great but we loved the heated pool and hot tub. We hit the parks many days and it was great coming 'home' each night to this great house. We even had a family New Years Eve party where my wife's cousin stayed over and the house was great for a party. Being on a lake also added beauty each morning and some good fishing. We caught and released and got a great tip from a neighbor to use bread or hot dogs for bait! We had a flight issue due to storms in Chicago and one quick e-mail the owner let some of our party check out late. The resort and owners are very responsive. Thanks for a great vacation!!
Lake Berkley resort is close to ALL the major central Florida attractions. The resort is minutes away from the lively 'Highway 192' for all your dining, shopping and entertainment requirements but nicely secluded away from the hustle and bustle for families to enjoy their time together. This is a Great Place to Holiday.

By Bobby Breen: July 27, 2009. A team of amateur boxers from Ireland recently came to the NY/NJ Metro area to compete against our amateur boxers. Arranged and coordinated by the Dover Boxing Club of Dover, NJ the Ireland team boxed in New Jersey Friday night July 17th and Saturday July 18th in Long Island, NY. The Friday night show was held at Schuetzen Park in North Bergen, NJ.
Put together by Ed Leahy and Rich Stoltenborg who run the Dover Boxing Club gym, this event was made possible by many sponsors. I do not have a complete list of those sponsors but many thanks go out to them for making this show a reality. A special thanks goes out to the Dr. Teddy Atlas Foundation for their participation. It is a great opportunity for young amateur boxers to compete against each other from another country. This could not happen without the involvement of many people especially behind the scenes. Irish born boxers John Duddy and James Moore came out to cheer on the competitors. Both Duddy and Moore showed up and paid a special visit to the Ireland team locker room. Duddy and Moore were great in rooting on the Irish team as they won seven of nine bouts. The Irish team came to fight. The bouts were great.
Irish boxers Tyrone McKenna and Steven Donnelly were especially triumphant with wins over NY Daily News Golden Glove champions Raul Lopez and Pedro Sosa respectively. McKenna clearly outpointed Lopez in a 132 lb. Open bout being the quicker with hands and feet. Donnelly got tagged good in round one going up against the power punching Sosa, but was able to punch and move the rest of the way, denying Sosa any work on the inside which is his where he is strongest. Donnelly and Sosa met again Saturday night in Long Island, NY with Sosa getting the decision in what appeared to be a hometown favorite score. Although McKenna didnt do as good as the first night some in the crowd thought he did enough to win the second bout. The only Americans to beat Irish boxers on the Friday card were Angel Vargas and Anthony Gangemi. Vargas of Middletown PAL pulled out a close decision over Nian McGinley in their 152 lb. Open matchup. Gangemi boxed tremendously against David Walsh in their 165 lb Open matchup winning by decision. AIBA Ireland Official Mike Gallagher accompanied the Irish team.
Five other bouts were featured on the card that had New Jersey Local Boxing Committee (LBC) boxers competing. This was a dinner show and fund raiser for the Dover Boxing Club, who plan on bringing a team of New Jersey boxers over to Ireland to compete against the Irish team on their own turf sometime next year. Dover BC has had several shows like this in past years featuring boxing teams from Canada, England, and Ireland as well as bringing a team of inner city boxers to those countries. Anyone interested in helping out with this worthy cause can contact Ed or Rich at the Dover BC website; http://www.doverboxingclub.com/. See you around the ring. BB
The complete results of the Friday July 17th Ireland vs. NJ card at Schuetzen Park, NJ;
1) Michael Conlan Ireland dec. Leroy Davila NJ 112 lb. Open
2) Tyrone McKenna Ireland dec. Raul Lopez NY 132 lb. Open
3) Mark Ginley Ireland dec. Adrian Marte NJ 141 Novice

Philip Ober (March 23, 1902, Fort Payne, Alabama – September 13, 1982, Mexico City) was an American actor.
Acting career[edit]
Ober often appeared in roles as a straight man in farcical circumstances. He made his debut on stage, playing Tom Faulkner in Technique in 1931.[2] He appeared in Lawrence Riley's Broadway show Personal Appearance (1934) opposite Gladys George.
From 1954 to 1967, he frequently appeared in television series. He played a general determined to find the truth of an alleged desertion and an Indian attack on a fort in the episode "The Vultures" of the ABC/Warner Brothers western series, Sugarfoot. [3]
Ober was twice cast on I Love Lucy, first playing "Arnold" in "The Quiz Show", and later portraying the Hollywood producer Dore Schary when Schary decided not to play himself in the episode. He made five appearances on Perry Mason, including that of defendant Peter Dawson in the 1960 episode, "The Case of the Treacherous Toupee", and the dual role of murder victim Sumner Hodge and his brother Adrian Hodge in the 1964 episode, "The Case of the Tandem Target." He also made four guest appearances in the comedy series Hazel. He had a recurring role as Gen. Wingard Stone in the very early episodes of NBC situation comedy I Dream of Jeannie and appeared in two episodes of McHale's Navy as tough-as-nails Admiral "Iron Pants" Rafferty.
Ober continued to work as an actor in films. He played the UN ambassador in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959) whom Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) meets, in order to clarify who had occupied his mansion. He also played Capt. Dana "Dynamite" Holmes, the neglectful, unsympathetic husband of Karen Holmes (Deborah Kerr), in the film version of From Here to Eternity (1953).
Post-acting career[edit]
He retired from acting and went into the U.S. diplomatic service, and died while working at the U.S. consulate in Mexico City.
Personal life and death[edit]
In 1941, Ober married actress Vivian Vance, who portrayed Ethel Mertz in the CBS comedy series I Love Lucy (1951–1957). They divorced in 1959.
Ober died of a heart attack in 1982.

Litigating bunk bed entrapment cases.
The bed eventually was recalled by the manufacturer, El Rancho Furniture Manufacturers, Inc.(1) Within a year of the youngster's death, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and 11 other furniture manufacturers jointly announced the recall of 320,000 other wooden bunk beds due to entrapment hazards.(2)
Unfortunately, the Florida boy's death was not an isolated incident. From 1990 to 1994, the CPSC documented 45 bunk bed-related deaths. Of these, 29 resulted from entrapment and 16 from other causes. Using statistical estimating techniques, the CPSC came to the conclusion that the death toll during that period reached 90.(3)
The injury data for the same five-year period are astonishing. U.S. hospital emergency rooms treated an estimated 111,000 bunk bed-related injuries. Fortunately, most of these injuries were minor. Only 3 percent required hospital treatment beyond emergency room care. About 60 percent involved children under age six.(4)
These deaths and injuries could have been prevented. Safety authorities and furniture manufacturers have long known that children around age two begin trying to climb out of their beds. Their newly found mobility and lack of judgment make them ideal candidates for entrapment in bunk beds.
Hazards associated with these beds are numerous. A discussion of all of them is beyond the scope of this article, which focuses on entrapment hazards that bunk bed guardrails present. Other hazards include falling out of the bed; collapse of the bed; and entrapment between the mattress and bed frame, under the footboard, and between the frame and the wall beside the bed.
The first bunk bed safety guidelines were published January 1, 1979, by the Inter-Industry Bunk Bed Safety Task Group of the American Furniture Manufacturers Association (AFMA). The guidelines recommended that the guardrail cover an area "reaching from not more than 8 cm (3 in.) above the sleeping surface of the mattress upward to not less than 12.5 cm (5 in.) above that surface."(5)
The guidelines also designated the placement of two labels that cautioned consumers against putting children under age six on the top bunk and warned consumers always to use a combination of guardrail and mattress that would allow for the recommended spacing.
The 1979 recommendations proved ineffective. Between 1979 and 1985, bunk bed-related injuries jumped by more than 75 percent. Alarmed by this trend, the CPSC, in conjunction with the furniture safety group, promulgated revised Voluntary Bunk Bed Safety Guidelines in 1986.(6) Of special note was the change in the amount of recommended space under the guardrail.
The new standard, recognizing that manufacturers often sell these beds without mattresses and that the compressibility of mattresses can differ, measured the opening from the lower edge of the guardrail to the hard frame of the bed. That space was set at 3.5 inches or less. For beds sold with a mattress, the space from the guardrail to the mattress surface could be no more than 1 inch.(7)
The 1986 revisions also simplified the labeling requirements, calling for only one label and specifying its placement. The label, which has survived later guideline revisions, reads--
WARNING! To help prevent serious
injuries from entrapment or falls:
When centered, mattress must be no more
than one inch at any point from the
interior bed structure. Use guardrails
on both sides of upper bunk. Use
the ladder for entering and leaving
upper bunk. Prohibit children under six
years on upper bunk. Ensure all
connectors are tight. Prohibit
horseplay on or under bed(s).
Follow and keep written
instructions with this bed. DO NOT
In August 1986, the Consumer Federation of America petitioned the CPSC to create a mandatory safety standard, alleging the 1986 voluntary standards did not adequately address bunk bed hazards. Two years passed. With Reagan-era anticonsumerism holding sway in Washington, the commission voted 2-1 to deny the petition in July 1988.
The panel, however, directed its staff to send a "strongly worded letter" to the furniture manufacturers association, requesting that additional staff recommendations be incorporated into the 1986 guidelines.(8)
That letter eventually led to a 1992 voluntary standard, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F142792, which addressed various bunk bed hazards. The AFMA had promised to establish a program to certify that bunk beds complied with the voluntary standard, but the program never materialized. An independent testing laboratory set up its own certification program, but only 9 of 85 identified bunk bed manufacturers and importers elected to participate.(9) Revised standard ASTM F1427-94, published in August 1994, addressed the structural integrity of metal bunk beds.
Because manufacturers faced no penalties for flouting the voluntary standards, corporations continued to place unsafe beds on the market. Although the CPSC commended the AFMA for its recent leadership in strengthening the standards,(10) the fact remains that children today face avoidable risks in the absence of mandatory standards.
The CPSC and the Justice Department have taken a new tack to improve bunk bed safety by targeting alleged wrongdoing by individual manufacturers. Late last year, the agencies filed a civil lawsuit against children's furniture maker Cosco, Inc., for failing to report consumers' complaints about its products to the commission.
Although the company worked with the CPSC to recall hazardous toddler beds in 1992 and 1993, the agency learned Cosco had also failed to report ongoing complaints about guardrail entrapment hazards on those beds. The beds were taken off the market in 1993. Cosco paid a $725,000 fine.(11)
Many guardrail entrapment cases have gone through or are currently in the court system. The lessons learned by plaintiffs' lawyers are many. Those who agree to take an entrapment case like this should do the following:
* Get possession of the bed. If the local police have it, ask them to release it to you after their investigation has been completed.
* Measure the bed from every angle, photographing and videotaping the process. Measure all parts of the bed--not just the opening that caused the child's injury--because the bed may not conform to the guidelines in other ways.
If you want to dismantle the bed for storage, label each part and videotape the dismantlement. This step could prove crucial if the frame parts of the lower and upper bunks are different sizes, as the differences would affect the spacing between the frame parts and the guardrail.
* Check the label identifying the manufacturer and the date the bed was made. This will determine which set of guidelines applies. Was the manufacturer an AFMA member when the bed was made? If so, the manufacturer can hardly claim ignorance of the guidelines. If not, why didn't the manufacturer join this industry organization, which alerts its members of potential safety hazards?
If the bed has a warning label, pay careful attention to its wording and location. A warning that mirrors the federal guideline wording essentially confirms that the manufacturer had notice of the hazard.
A warning that complies with the guidelines also may be rendered ineffective by its location. For instance, in the Mayernik case, the bed had an appropriate warning but it was located on the inner frame of the bottom bunk, hidden by the mattress.
* Try to locate the retailer--especially if the retailer delivered and set up the bed. The retailer's name may be integral to the case if the manufacturer claims the product was altered after it left the factory. If the manufacturer is from another state, and you think it best to avoid federal court, adding the retailer may defeat diversity.
Attitudes toward trying a case in federal court vary by regions of the country. Florida lawyers, for example, try to avoid it. Federal rules in local districts sometimes levy oppressive motion requirements on pre-trial and trial activities. Also, federal dockets are often crowded with criminal cases that take precedence because of speedy trial guarantees. Getting a civil case to trial in fedal court can be difficult.
* Obtain an expert immediately. The expert can help pinpoint hazardous conditions and save duplication of effort later. Entrapment hazards have been widely studied by the CPSC. There is no shortage of expertise in this area.
Also, consider retaining a human factors expert or safety design engineer to testify on the usefulness of warning labels. Typically, plaintiffs' experts say warnings should be used only if the danger cannot be eliminated or diminished.
* Get a copy of the taped 911 call if the person who found the child called the emergency number. It will convey to a jury--in a way no courtroom witness can--the horror of finding a trapped child.
* Obtain the investigating agency's report if the incident involved death or serious injury. These reports usually contain witness statements, photographs of the bed while it was in the home, and, if applicable, an autopsy report.
Contact the CPSC for information on guardrail entrapment hazards by calling (800) 638-2772 or writing to CPSC, Washington, DC 20207.
Lawyers for manufacturers will find these cases difficult to defend from a liabilty standpoint. The entrapment hazard is well documented within the industry, and the bed either conforms to the guidelines or it does not.
The most likely defense will be consumer misuse. Even if the bed had no warning, the manufacturer may attempt to argue misuse on the basis of common sense. This is a seductive argument that may threaten a plaintiff verdict.
Counsel should anticipate the argument and deal with it delicately in voir dire. Although many people will say a small child should not be placed in the top bunk, most will say on further questioning that they perceive falling, not strangulation, to be the hazard.
Perhaps the most effective argument to deflate the misuse defense is this: The company that made the bed--not the consumer--has unlimited access to data on the strangulation hazard. A simple and obvious remedy exists in these cases. The manufacturer can eliminate the hazard while adding little, if any, cost to the product.
There is no excuse for any manufacturer, either because of lack of notice or because of price considerations, to put bunk beds, or any beds for that matter, on the market with an entrapment hazard built into their design.

"A lot of time when children have been exposed to trauma or sexual abuse, they have a hard time expressing themselves," Stella said. "And then they're put in a courtroom full of strangers, being asked the most intrusive questions and having to sit across from somebody who perpetrated the abuse."
Stella said she noticed an immediate change in the young girl from the day she first met Rosie. "I could physically see her anxiety diminishing," Stella said.
Measures were taken to make sure Rosie was as inconspicuous as possible.
The dog was behind the witness stand and could not be seen by those sitting in the gallery, except when she poked her head up to nudge the victim and the judge gave very specific instructions to the jury that they were not to make any interpretations about why the dog was there.
There are hopes that this could become a more common practice in New York and possibly go beyond children to victims of violent abuse or post-traumatic stress disorder.
"Anybody that's been traumatized and wants to shut down—it doesn't matter if it's an adult or child—the dog will help," said Rosie's owner Dale Picard.
For Rosie, this may be the beginning of a new career. The Children's Home has a case next month where two young girls may have to testify in the murder of their mother and, if so, the Home says Rosie will definitely be requested for another day in court.

Lower Canada College (LCC) of Montreal is an elementary and secondary level private school. The boarding school was founded by the Church of St John the Evangelist in 1861 as St. John's School and changed its name to Lower Canada College in 1909, replacing an older school by that name that was founded in 1847.
LCC offers education from Kindergarten through Grade 12. Students graduate from Grade 11, and then have the option of leaving the school and going on to a Pre-University college, unique to the Quebec system, or returning to LCC for the Pre-University year.
The annual fees for attending LCC range from $17,415 to $20,066.
Until recently, LCC was one of the few remaining schools with a covered outdoor ice hockey rink. This has been replaced by a new athletics centre as well as a new arena. In addition to hockey, LCC has been known for fielding strong Lions teams in Canadian football, soccer, basketball and rugby union. LCC's traditional rival in sports and other matters is Selwyn House School.[citation needed]
Once boys-only, LCC is now co-educational, with roughly 40 percent of the population being girls. Girls were first admitted to Grade 12 in 1992 and were phased into the other grades beginning in the 1995-96 school year.
LCC, like many other Commonwealth schools, divides its students into houses. These eight houses are named after alumni. There is also one house specifically for Grade 12 students. They are:
- Beveridge (Orange)
- Claxton (Red)
- Drummond (White)
- French (Blue)
- Harper (Green)
- Heward (Black)
- Russel (Grey)
- Woods (Maroon)
- Webster (Purple, Grade 12 house)
International Baccalaureate[edit]
In 2013, LCC began implementing the International Baccalaureate programme for some students in its grade 11 class. They plan on extending the program to grade 12 in 2014. Currently, there are approximately 25 students in the IB programme.
Notable alumni and former faculty[edit]

Research: Worldwide broadband households to near 650M by 2013
By 2013, the number of households worldwide with broadband will near 650 million, increasing the demand for high-bandwidth applications such as video-on-demand and converging social-networking services.
According to international research firm Parks Associates, service providers will have to continue investing in network technologies to accommodate the demand for these high-bandwidth services.
The firm's new report, "Broadband Services: Global Outlook," found that the number of broadband households worldwide grew by more than 18 percent in 2008, to exceed 400 million. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, accounting for more than 160 million subscribers, and it will have more than 49 percent of the global market share by 2013.
"Bandwidth will continue to be a focus as the operators re-architect their networks to deliver multiple services over the same infrastructure; however, in such a competitive field, bandwidth alone is not enough to win subscribers," said Kurt Scherf, vice president and principal analyst with Parks Associates. "Blended applications, combining services such as online video and customer support, offer operators an opportunity to increase ARPU. In addition, innovative new services will help differentiate service providers, which can then compete on factors beyond pricing or raw bandwidth."
Earlier this month, Vice President Joe Biden outlined a $4.7 billion loan and grant program [1] to develop the infrastructure needed to deliver high-speed Internet access to areas of the U.S. that are underserved or without access. The $4.7 billion is part of $7.2 billion included in the federal stimulus package to improve rural Internet access.
The Commerce and Agriculture Departments are judging the funding applications, and the first round of funding will be awarded in September.

Mobile Phones>Mobile Phone Guides>Best waterproof phones available right now
Summary: Waterproof and resistant smartphones are the next big thing. We've been waiting a while for manufacturers to put a little more thought in to durability, and the time is finally upon us.
Alex Angove
| 12 March 2015
Durable phones are finally starting to come in to vogue, with protection from liquids being high on the agenda. Fully functional, top-tier
devices are hitting shelves that are not only water-resistant, but waterproof.
We've collected our favourite waterproof and water-resistant
smartphones on the market right now. These are not huge 'rugged' phones either, but sleek, pocket-friendly handsets with some of today's best features.
So far the field is mostly comprised of Sony Xperia devices, but with any luck we'll get a bit more diversity in the near future.
Protected devices are judged by the Ingress
Protection Rating, also known as the International Protection Rating (IP
rating). In an IP rating the first number always refers to dust
protection, while the second refers to water resistance. For example, a rating
of IP54 would mean a dust protection rating of 5 and a water resistance rating
of 4.
The maximum dust protection is 6; the maximum standard water
protection is 8. To keep things simple, we only need to pay attention
to dust protection from 5 and up, and water resistance from 5 and up.
Chart source:
The Xperia Z3 is the new flagship phone from Sony. It Z3 boasts both IP65 and IP68 protection, meaning that it can be submerged in over 1m (3 feet) of water for an indefinite period. It can also withstand the pressure of a small water jet, like a tap. This is not something that other devices are rated for and definitely makes cleaning your phone easier.
Sony has adopted close to a 6-month release cycle for its flagship devices, which makes it difficult to make significant changes to your tech with only half a year's worth of R&D. The Xperia Z1 wasn't exactly a huge upgrade over the original Z, and the Z2 is pretty much the same phone as the Z1.
The Xperia Z3 is no different; it's a small upgrade over the Z2 in CPU power, camera sensor technology and battery size. Just about everything else is the same. The Xperia Z4 is expected soon, and is also likely to be little more than a minor incremental upgrade.
The Z3 sports a 20.7MP camera, a 5.2 inch 1080p display, and is impressively waterproof (IP65 and IP68).
The Galaxy S5 is about a year old now, recently being supplanted by the announcement of the Galaxy S6. However, the new kid on the block is missing one very important feature of the GS5: water resistance. If you want a phone that will hold up to spills and accidental trips in the sink, the GS5 is still your go-to Samsung smartphone.
It is rated
IP67, which is the same rating as 2013's rugged Galaxy S4 Active. It can survive in up to 1m of water for up to half an hour on paper, but in reality people have tested it with even greater success. We wouldn't recommend purposefully repeating the experiments yourself, however..
Speaking of the sink, it's not advisable to run any direct water pressure over the S5. Its rating is for immersion; not water jets. So no holding it under a running tap.
The GS5 rocks a 16MP camera, powerful internals, Android 4.4 KitKat, 16GB or 32GB of internal storage and a 5.2 inch 1080p display.
Available in black, white, orange and mint-green, the Z3 compact is the smaller mid-range entrant that debuted alongside the flagship Z3. The Compact has just a 4.6 inch screen with 720p resolution, 2GB of RAM and a 2600mAh battery.
Other than that, it's essentially the same phone as its bigger, more-expensive sibling. It rocks a powerful quad-core 2.5GHz CPU and a 20.7MP camera that can be used underwater.
It's also just as water-resistant with both IP55 and IP58 ratings. If you're after a smaller underwater experience, or perhaps don't want to drop top-dollar on a phone, then the Z3 Compact is definitely worth considering.
The Xperia Z2 is the current number 2 phone from Sony. It boasts some good upgrades over its predecessor (Z1) in terms of hardware, and has the same incredible water immersion and pressure resistance ratings. Better still, thanks to the Z3 coming out its price will become increasingly affordable. Considering the noticeable similarities between the two devices, the Z2 is probably the wiser choice in terms of price for user experience.
Under the hood is a 5.2 inch 1080p display, quad-core 2.3GHz processor, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of storage with MicroSD slot for expansion, Android 4.4 and that 20.7MP camera complete with underwater photo ability we've come to know and love.
It's rated
IP55 and IP58, meaning it can be submersed in over 1m (3 feet) of water for over an hour and take direct pressure from a tap.

By Greg GelpiThe results of upcoming state testing are already known at West Clayton Elementary. More than 200 West Clayton students have chosen to spend their Friday afternoons in academic lock ins, preparing for the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests. The standardized tests are important to both the students and the schools. The results will indicate whether a school has made Adequate Yearly Progress according to the federal No Child Left Behind Act. The standardized tests are also slowly being phased in to have more impact on the students. For the first time, third graders who do not pass the reading portion could be held back from advancing to the fourth grade. Students at West Clayton aren't worried, though. The school's slogan has been "70 percent or more is what we're shooting for," but some students are shooting beyond that mark because of the CRCT lock ins. "I think I'll get 80 percent or better because I come here every week," Stefon Kemp, 11, said. "It just teaches you the stuff that is going to be on the CRCT." Kemp said the "fully energized teachers" are making him "fully prepared." LaTricia Bennett, the coordinator of the lock ins, said the success of the program has been the enthusiasm of the teachers. The students can tell the teachers are interested in them doing well on the tests and respond accordingly. "Naturally, if the teachers are excited, then the kids will be," Bennett said. "A lot of it is them being really committed to the students." Brandi Johnson, 9, is predicting a perfect score when she takes the CRCT. "I think I'll get 100 percent because I know my lock in teachers will help me," Johnson said. "I can learn new things everyday. When I don't learn things in my regular classes, my lock in teachers will teach me." Although the series of CRCT lock ins allows students to collect "incentive tickets" and compete for prizes, she said she goes to the locks ins to brush up on her math skills. Teachers award students with incentive tickets when they do well during the sessions or demonstrate good behavior, Bennett said. On Thursday, the day of the final lock in, students will cash in their incentive tickets for prizes. Theresa Taylor, 12, said she enjoys the activities at the lock ins, especially the grammar games, mad minute math games and reading worksheets. "I like to learn," Taylor, who won the lock in competition last year, said. Aaron Moore, 8, said the games and activities help him learn the skills he is going to need for the standardized tests. Moore said the lock in has helped him learn skills he didn't have before the lock in. The final West Clayton CRCT lock in will be from 3 to 8 p.m. Thursday. CRCT testing for first through eighth graders will take place from April 14 to April 21. The CRCT tests students' knowledge of reading, language arts and math.

I ******* hate chinese. they are racist, close-minded, old-fashioned, chauvinistic etc. Everywhere they stay, they need chinatown. Chinatown is everywhere, you named it. LA California, Orlando Florida, DC, Arizona, Arkansas, Chicago, Georgia, New York...almost every city in America. They have very extreme fanatical patriotism towards China, the motherland and race. They are not loyal, suspicious and looking down towards other races. Imagine if other people behaving like that. In NYC we might have Nigeriatown, SouthAfricatown, Lebanesetown, Iraqitown, Mexicantown. At least other people are not like Chinese. This is the reality, just ask people who ever dealt with them. ******* chinese.
Oh, there is an opinion here, lets thumb him down.
