Time to Teach the Kids How to Sail
Been having recurring dreams of past sailing adventures. When I was 14, I worked all summer doing odd-jobs around the neighborhood to save up for a Sears Catalog Snark sailboat. When we picked it up at the store and found it to be a giant "Styrofoam Ice Chest" my father suggested a fiberglass kit and quart of marine paint to finish the hull. Once completed, my brother and I couldn't wait for the weekend trip to the nearest big lake to try our hand at sailing. We carried that boat over 1/2 mile to a big pond and spent most of the day learning how to stay in the boat.
I joined the USN three years later and spent the next six years on a different sailing adventure. I did get to sail Navy MWR boats in San Diego, Great Lakes, and Florida. One WestPac we stopped at a smaller island in Indonesia and got to sail one of their MWR boats for a day. First boat I sailed without a real transom!
Spent some time in Hawaii and helped crew several friends sailboats with my wife and children. We then moved to Virginia. Been working some killer hours with a killer commute. I am meandering toward something here....
Before my kids head-off and start their own killer jobs/commutes I would like to teach them how to sail. I usually come home and vegetate through the weekends but would like to mend my habits to something a bit healthier. We started looking at sailboats. We live 1.5 hours from Deltaville with a country drive worthy of the effort. Very serene. No I-95 madness.
By taking out a 401(k) loan and paying myself back the interest (need to justify so play along) I can purchase a 30-35' boat around 20 years old. We are looking at a 1989 Catalina 30' or similar vessel. My wife of 23 years is humoring me at the moment from shear curiosity of seeing what I do next. She has shown a great deal of interest in sailing and would probably appreciate some time on the water her oneself. The kids are game!
Been working with some brokers in MD and VA to locate that first family boat. We want to home port in Deltaville. Any suggestions to make this a positive experience for all hands?

I think it's a great plan! We have 2 boys, 5 and 9 and they are so-so about the sailing. They like being on the boat and love playing in the lake - so we try to mix it up with some sailing and plenty of swim/play time for them. It seems to be working.
Make it happen, dude!
Thanks for the encouragement. Sorry for the spelling issues on my first post. Not used to this form of comms. I have been reading through numerous postings gathering information on making that first purchase a positive experience. Maryland is a long way away but Tony at Great Blue Yachts has been very helpful. So has Jonathon and Ann at Annapolis Yachts in Deltaville. Now just need to figure out how to find the right boat, make a sound offer, and find a good surveyor.
Dakine, Agree with Smackdaddy. Sounds like you're going in the right direction. If you haven't looked already, take a look at two of the sticky threads in the 'Buyers and Sellers' forum: 1) Boat buying trip tips and 2) Local boat-buying assistance. These might help you find the right boat and make a good assessment of a boat before you hire a surveyor. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.:D
Welcome to Sailnet!
As for introducing kids to sailing... There are different issues here. If you just want to "introduce" them to sailing, then a comfortable family boat is a nice way to go. But if you want to teach them to sail, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you get a sailing dinghy to tow behind the mothership. You'll want a dinghy anyway for gunkholing the Chesapeake -- might as well be a teaching platform for the kids too.
P.S. Your background story brought back memories -- my very earliest sailing experiences were in MWR sunfishes.:)
Sorry, but I'm not a rugged individualist. Folks scare me when they start talking about "when ships were wood and men were steel" talk. It would be nice to have a thorough understanding of chemical/elecrical/mechanical engineering to be a better boat buyer. Noticed a couple of comments on how mentally impoverished we are in the US of A on our reliance on surveyors. I don't pay my mortgage with boat knowledge ;-)
From the voice of experience. Kids are not young very long and life is short.
Do the research and go for it!!!!!! My experience is over researching and not doing anything!!!!!!
Have fun!!!
We found the right boat. A well-maintained 1994 Hunter 30T. A bit more coinage than anticipated but below the market value. There aren't that many nice boats on the market (at a reasonable, non-mortgage-threatening price).
We moved the boat this weekend to her new home port. 9 hours and 34 kts later we motored into Broad Creek. The move would have taken us less time but we turned around once until the gusty winds stabilized. Not the best of experiences but bruises and sore muscles mend. The Chesapeake develops this chop. A very disconcerting chop with closely knit swells of 3-4 feet.
Two of our children went with me along with the prior owner. I'm glad my spouse wasn't exposed to those conditions on our first daysail!

David Miliband's decision to quit Parliament and depart these shores has given greater importance to a truly remarkable fact: there is still a Conservative councillor in South Tyneside. Only one, on a 54 member council, but that is one more than you will find next door on Gateshead Council, or across the river in Newcastle.
His name is Jeff Milburn, and he is likely to be the Tory candidate in the upcoming South Shields by-election. There hasn't been an MP in the North East called Milburn since Alan of that ilk stood down in 2010, and there is not likely to be another in the foreseeable future, because there has not been a Tory MP in South Shields since the seat came into existence in 1832. The Labour candidate will be selected on Wednesday of next week.
Of all the many Twitter comments about Iain Duncan Smith's claim that he could live on £53 a week, this, from Nick Frost, a freelance producer, is surely the best: "Former Tory MP Edwina Currie says she could live on £53 a week. Asked her to talk to @5_News about it, she wanted 500 quid."
Meanwhile, there is something endearingly random about the thoughts that Michael Fabricant, MP and Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party, shares with his Twitter followers. Yesterday, he informed them that he had "been fixing a light up a ladder in howling winds then been to recycle tip." Seven minutes later, he added: "North Korea crisis gone too far. A nuclear war puts our probs into perspective..."
Now there is a thought for the day: if a nuclear war breaks out, will we continue to care whether Mickey Fab has been to a recycle tip?
Ann Widdecombe, ex Home Office minister and star of Strictly Come Dancing offers an interesting example of cross-party cooperation in an interview in the current issue of Radio Times. "Once I danced with Peter Mandelson, who was magnificent," she declares. "He should have made that, rather than government, his career."
Adele, the singer, should have known better than to demand an apology from Joan Rivers - if indeed, she did - because the veteran comic has been around a very long time and does not surrender without a fight. This fight began when Rivers made a comment on live television, which set the audience booing. Referring Adele's 2010 single 'Rolling in the Deep', Rivers blew out her cheeks and suggested that the song be renamed 'Rolling in the Deep Fried Chicken'. That was in February. She has now returned to the attack, via Huffington Post, saying: "She's a chubby lady who's very, very rich. She should just calm down - or lose weight. And she wanted an apology - so I took an ad out on her ass. I said, 'You are not fat', and then I had room left for a lot of other ads. Let's face reality - she's fat."
Joan Rivers was 55 in the year Adele was born.Reuse content

Study objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of mass
spirometry use for the detection of airflow obstruction in a high-risk
Design: Free spirometry was offered to
smokers who were > 39 years of age with a smoking history of > 10
pack-years. Action was preceded by the dissemination of information on
the causes and symptoms of COPD in the local mass media.
Setting: Pulmonary outpatient clinics in 12 large cities of
Participants: Eleven thousand twenty-seven
subjects with the following characteristics were screened: mean
(± SD) age, 51.8 ± 12.5 years; men, 57%; current or ex-smokers,
80%; and mean smoking history, 26.1 ± 16.8 pack-years.
Interventions: Smoking history, simple spirometry (FVC and
FEV1), and an antismoking advice.
Spirometric signs of airway obstruction were found in 24.3% of the
subjects who were screened. Of those subjects, mild obstruction was
found in 9.5%, moderate obstruction was found in 9.6%, and severe
obstruction was found in 5.2%. In smokers aged ≥ 40 years who had a
smoking history of > 10 pack-years, airway obstruction was found in
30.6%. Airway obstruction was present in 8.3% of smokers < 40 years
of age who had a smoking history of < 10 pack-years. Of the 2,200
subjects who had never smoked in their lives, airway obstruction was
found in 14.4%.
Conclusions: Mass spirometry
in high-risk groups is an effective and easy method for the early
detection of COPD.

The Nokia E71 is one of the highest scoring phones that Trusted Reviews has ever had in for test. Upon its release we fawned over its brilliant keyboard, top notch messaging features and impressive battery life. Nokia has taken an age to get around to producing a follow up, but now that the E72 has finally arrived is it a worthy successor to the original?
The E72 doesn't look all that different to its predecessor and thankfully at just 10mm thick it's still impressive svelte. However, this time around Nokia has upped the style quota by adding some sexy chrome trim around the edge of the handset and kitting it out with a metal battery cover with etched vertical lines that not only make the phone easy to grip, but also add an upmarket feel. It also feels very solid and gives you the confidence that it'll stand up to the knocks and scrapes of life on the road.
There are some other tweaks here and there. The headphone jack has been upgraded from a 2.5mm connector to a standard 3.5mm jack and moved from the side to the top of the phone. And while the handset still has a Nokia mini charging port, it can now also be charged via the microUSB port, although using this does mean it takes a bit longer to top up with juice.
One of the best things about the E71 was its superb keyboard and thankfully Nokia hasn't messed around with it too much. The excellent bubble-style keys look and feel very similar to the original and the four line layout remains. However, the size of the space bar has been reduced from four key widths to two to make room for two additional keys on the bottom row of the keyboard. We didn't find the reduced size of the space bar to be an issue and the two extra keys are useful as they lead to less double button pressing. So we're happy to report that it remains one of the best mobile phone keyboards around and in our opinion even trumps the keyboards you'll find on Blackberry handsets.
Above the QWERTY keyboard, the layout of the function keys (which give you direct access to things like the calendar, address book and inbox) has changed little, but on the D-pad there is one important addition. The centre of the D-pad is now home to an optical joystick that lets you navigate through menus purely by swiping your finger across it. However, we didn't find it all that easy to use. It's recessed slightly into the centre of the D-pad which makes it a bit tricky to smoothly glide your finger across it. In fact we often found it was faster to just use the clickable part of the D-pad to move around the web browser and menus.
Sadly Nokia hasn't really updated the handset's 2.36in screen. As with the E71 it is a non-touch display with a resolution of 320x240. This is a bit lacklustre compared to the high resolution screens we're used to seeing on today's touchscreen phones and is some way off the Blackberry Bold 9700 or even the Blackberry Bold 9000 when it comes to sharpness. Nevertheless it is bright and can show 16million colours, so images and videos still look pretty impressive. However, the small size and low res are noticeable when you're viewing web pages in the phone's otherwise impressive browser. The limited space means you usually find yourself having to do a lot of scrolling around to navigate even relatively basic pages.

I think my thoughts mirror yours exactly, I waited 6 months for this phone to be released only to be massively disappointed by two things. 1 The screen resolution is ridiculous for a phone that is competing against the blackberry market. 2 The price of this phone on contract is above the HTC Hero and all but the top-end blackberry.
I think I'm going to stick it out and go with the HTC Legend...it looks, dare I say it, Legendary!
I had one of these for a while and absolutely loved it, if it wasn't for my dislike of QWERTY keypads on phones I probably would have stuck with it. You're right though - it's not a massive leap up from the E71; like the E51 - E52 jump too, but I still think it deserves a recommendation on being a great phone...even if you are 5 months behind the curve in reviewing this handset since launch!
i had an e71, the only thing that stopped me upgrading to the e72 was the 320x240 screen res.
why do nokia put ARM 11 600 MHz processors in their newer non touch phones (e72,e55,6720,5630) and ARM 11 434 MHz processors in their touch screen phones? seems a crazy thing to do.
why make a review on a product that's 5months old?
@Angelino: Because people will still be buying it and want to read about it. We can't cover every phone as soon as its out so we have to catch up later on.
We use Nokia E71 & E72 at work - have quite a few. The E72 is lethargic (in Vodafone livery) when compared to the E71 - menus are so slow to respond. In every case each user has asked for an alternative device. Mail For Exchange on the E72 is a disaster! Stay well clear!
The speed issue where it fades between menus is really bad on the E72. It takes 3 seconds to open an email up. Quicker than an E75 mind you...
The E71, E75 and E72 used are generic Nokia phones not network supplied. As PaulW states the E71 is a much quicker phone.
I really don't get how Nokia can release such poorly debugged software.
Ok Ed.
Btw didn't mean to sound so negative before.
Just so you know, Im a frequent visitor and I appreciate the time you guys spent on giving us reviews and news
Following on from the E71 was always going to be a tough act to follow and it seems Nokia have failed with this handset just as they did with that other Nokia classic the 6310i.
@ffrankmccaffery - What are you referring to to state that the 6310i was a 'failure'? Are you nuts? That is the best handset Nokia has ever made and a big improvement over the 6210 and 6310 - it is tri-band, has good bluetooth implementation, massive battery life and is as hard to kill as a cockroach. Amazing phone.
@lifethroughalens: My apologies I forgot to proof-read my earlier post. I should have been referring to Nokia's failure to develop a successor to the 6310i just as they've failed to advance on the E71 with this handset. And you don't need to extoll the virtues of the 6310i, I still have one sitting in my pocket even now and knocking against the underside of my laptop as I type this.
The E72 is slow because Nokia doesn't allow us to disable the animation. Mostly because the iRubbish users/reviewers keep lambasting Nokia devices for being too functional and not pretty enough, so...
Although the low screen resolution has led to me ditching the E72 for an N900 (my grievances about the TR review aside)
Really? Over here in tropical Singapore BlackBerries are retardedly expensive (more than twice the cost of E72?) and in my 'long' life I can count the number of BB's I've seen in one hand. Heck, I've spotted more E72's than ALL BB's!
@@ffrankmccaffery, Ah-ha, I see what you meant now...I think I misread the meaning of your post, excuse me. I am finally selling my last 6310i - a 6700 classic has taken it's place after many years of service :)
Yeah I can get pretty much any blackberry on an unlimited phone/text/data package for £25 a month, or the top of the range one for £30...standard business offer not even cash back or anything dodgy. I dislike the blackberry thing though...too many people have the same one and I like having a different phone. HTC Legend here I come :)
E72 = 500 for Brand new
BB Bold 9700 = $900 for Brand new
WTF?! + BB's are worthless without a BB plan, so that makes it even more ridiculous.
Yeah tell me about it but here T-Mobile have really good unlimited unlimited BB plans, they advertise in the Metro every day :) If I could have got an E72 on that plan I would snap it up in a second lol.

When the door opened and Abby entered, a blast of cold air sailed in with her. She dropped her bag in the hall as she slammed the door against the bitter weather, and proceeded to take off her coat, hat, and mittens. Placing her winter apparel in the hall closet, she called out, "Gibbs, I'm home!" There was no answer, but she smelled the distinct aroma of chili and so she made her way to the kitchen.
"Hey," Gibbs greeted, turning from the pot of chili he was stirring. Abby went up and hugged him from behind, and Gibbs continued, "Tony called from the gym. He said he'd be here within an hour."
"Ok," Abby answered, "are we waiting dinner on him?"
"Yeah, so go find something to do. I need to catch up on paperwork." With that, Gibbs cut the stove's unit down to the lowest setting and left the room. Abby finished setting the table and then retrieved her bag from the hall and took it to her room. She pulled out the books she'd brought with her and arranged them on the bookcase. Pulling out the drawer of the nightstand, she grabbed a pen and some greeting cards, then pulled her stuffed hippo, Bert, off the bed and ran back downstairs. In the living room she slipped a cd into the portable player Tony had brought over several months ago and flung herself on the sofa. With the music in the background she prepared several Christmas cards for mailing.
Up for another cup of coffee, Gibbs glanced in the living room on his way to the kitchen. He smiled at the picture of Abby sprawled across the sofa, pen clutched between her teeth, a card in her hand, and music blasting in the background.
Tony burst through the door a few minutes later dragging a trail of snow. Slamming it closed, he shook himself all over, like a soaked puppy, and snowflakes flew in every direction. Yanking off his coat, he found his clothes were sopping wet. It was brutal out there! Kicking off his shoes so that he didn't track through the house, he headed up the stairs to his room. Gibbs was on his way back down, and when he saw Tony, ordered, "Hey, go get a shower and change into dry clothes. We can't take a chance of your lungs getting congested."
Tony saluted and answered cheekily, "Sure thing, Dad!"
Gibbs shook his head in exasperation and laughed, then watching Tony go to his room, called out, "Don't leave all those wet clothes on the floor, either. Bring them down with you when you're through."
Thirty minutes later all three were gathered at the kitchen table eating steaming bowls of chili. Abby had checked the weather channel and determined that this was the first prong of the storm, and that another would follow the next day. Biting into a saltine cracker she asked, "So, can we watch a movie after supper? I mean all of us?"
Gibbs responded, "I want to work in the basement. You two can watch though."
"No, Boss, you watch with us. We want you to join us." Tony wheedled.
"Yeah," Abby added, "it's not the same if you don't participate. Please watch with us."
"We'll see. Get this kitchen cleaned up before you do anything to the vcr."
Tony and Abby exchanged amused glances and Abby corrected him, "DVD player, Gibbs, not vcr-"
"Whatever, but clean up before you put the movie in."
With that he excused himself and headed down to the basement. Though he didn't say it out loud, he didn't mind having Abby and Tony stay. For a number of reasons they had been visitors over and over throughout the years. The three had a tight relationship, evident at NCIS, but cemented and forged at Jehtro's house. Usually the get togethers were because of one crisis or another. For example, Abby's pipes had frozen last year, and Tony's unit was being refurbished another time. There was really no reason for them to be there today, but he assumed they had decided to spend the night with him by putting their heads together at work today. The two now no longer asked permission to come visit, but Gibbs would make his way home and find one or the other there, or them there together. He did feel very much like a father, and it was pretty evident that he was a substitute parent to both of them. It was also obvious that there was a tight bond between Tony and Abby, and that both a strong sibling rivalry and familial affection interspersed their interactions with Gibbs. Gibbs poured himself a shot of bourbon and began working on the boat.

Alone, it's always dangerous. Something was bound to go wrong one day, and on Sunday March 5 last year it did. Moving over Amundsen Gulf in the Northwest Passage, sea ice gave way. Everything was sinking: my dogs, my sled and me. We kicked for our lives. Powerful Arctic Ocean currents dragged vast sheets of sea ice. Underwater, I couldn't find the hole I had fallen through and had to make one, punching, then breathing again as ice and sea water clashed against my face.
Polar bears eat people, and swim to kill. We'd crossed bear tracks an hour before going through the ice. I remember thinking, did the bastard follow us? Was he under us now? What will it feel like when he bites? The floe edge was a mile away, this a busy hunting area where bears bludgeon seals twice my size. Frantic, I ripped off my mittens. Trying to save my dogs, I was prepared to lose my hands to savage cold. It wasn't enough. Soon drowning and the cold had killed all but one of them.
Out of the water I stripped off sodden, icing-up clothing. The cold was brutal. My limbs and head shook uncontrollably. I stopped shivering, indicating I was severely hypothermic. I was slowly dying. Barely conscious, I pulled on my down suit with fingers that knocked like wood. My blood was freezing. Human consciousness is lost when the body temperature plummets below 30C. I was heading for oblivion.
My satellite phone failed. I always have a phone backed up with a ground to air VHF transceiver, but it made no difference - I knew no plane was flying over. I flipped my location beacon. This is a last resort. To flip it means I'm in a life-threatening situation and want out. In the end three polar bear hunters came out on snowmobiles. What they saw frightened them.
I had fourth-degree frostbite, the worst form. My fingers were covered in deathly black blisters, my hands freezing to the bone. The pain when it thaws is colossal, at the top of the human tolerance scale, like a huge invisible parasite with a million fangs. The agony was suffocating; I writhed with it, wild for relief.
Heavy doses of morphine helped to dull the pain for two months. The side-effects included dreams, hallucinations, flashbacks - and constipation. Just as well because for weeks I couldn't wipe my arse. I went eight days without a crap. When prune juice was administered, I passed a turd the size of a baby's leg.
My fingers were debrided, scalpels cutting dead meat off thumbs and fingers. It hurt. Fingernails dropped off and smelt funny, and tendons stiffened. Physiotherapy was agony, but I wanted my hands back so badly and to endure meant to get better. My fingers looked a bloody mess, distorted and gnarled. They were always disturbingly cold. I was told the longer we waited, the better: even dead-looking fingers can recover.
Exercising my hands took up all my days - and within minutes they would stiffen up, giving the impression they were dying on me. I kept going, though, and one day I clasped a cup with my right hand. I was so excited. The first time I went out in the sun, my fingers turned blue. Without fingerprint ridges, picking up coins was difficult. Coins felt freezing, copper ones less so.
Soon the time to thaw before the saw was up. The surgeon cut a tip as if sharpening a pencil. I felt nothing. It jolted me to learn that the fingertip was dead. It was the only part still black, solid and stone-cold; if it wasn't removed, I'd have been susceptible to dry gangrene. It had to go.
I left hospital with 27 stitches and a metal plate on one stub-ended finger. Surgeons described my recovery as "inexplicable" - I had been expected to lose both hands.
So what now? My dogs and I were inseparable; I miss them desperately. All I want is dog hairs on my clothes again. The plan is a move to Greenland. It's time to live again.

Born in Toronto, Ontario in 1926, I spent my childhood growing up in the depression years. I had a stint in the Royal Canadian Air Force, then worked as a fireman on a coal burner on the Great Lakes. I also spent a few short years in the Canadian Army. I finished my training just before World War II ended, to my youthful disappointment, but with gratitude now that I'm hopefully a little wiser.
I spent the next few years in a variety of jobs, but I finally became a beer store manager with the Brewers Warehousing in Toronto for twenty-seven years. I moved to British Columbia with my first wife, Margaret, to be with our two married daughters and their families. Margaret and I were married for fifty-four years, and she passed away in 2008. Since I met my new bride, Agnes Mary, my poetry has begun to manifest. It has prospered for the past eight years. May it long continue!
This will be my sixth book of poetry composed and written since 2008 and is a somewhat pithy and humorous poetic commentary on life's adventures...enjoy.

On the same day that the Senate Finance Committee rejected including a public option in their health insurance bill, seventeen single-payer supporters were arrested at Aetna's New York City offices to kickoff a national campaign of civil disobedience targeted at the private health insurance industry.
The campaign, called Mobilization for Health Care for All , initiated by Healthcare-NOW!, Prosperity Agenda, and the Center for the Working Poor, already has over 500 people willing to risk arrest to demand an end to a system that profits by denying people care by removing private insurance from the system and replacing it with improved Medicare for all. Similar actions are being planned all over the country, including next week in Chicago.
The 17 participants in New York City, wearing T-shirts with slogans that read "Medicare for All" and chanting "Patients, not profits!," linked arms and sat down in the lobby of the Aetna building, prompting Aetna employees to step around them on their way into their offices, where insurance claim reviewers are busy looking for ways to deny people the lifesaving treatment that they need. A crowd of supporters picketing outside the building held signs that said "Aetna is the real death panel," and "Single-payer now."
Participants in the action demanded that the insurance company immediately approve all doctor-recommended lifesaving treatments in their files, stating that they would not leave until Aetna approved care. Aetna, however, refused to meet with their representative.
This is the second arrest of non-violent, single-payer supporters at a private health insurance company office building in recent months. Nine were arrested at Wellmark's offices in Des Moines, Iowa this summer.

Kevin Faulk: 'I am planning on coming back'
|04.12.12 at 3:49 pm ET
PROVIDENCE — Patriots running back Kevin Faulk took part in a charity event at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence Thursday afternoon. Joined by fellow Patriots Dane Fletcher and Matthew Slater, Faulk visited multiple patients in the children's hospital facility, taking pictures and giving away signed Patriots memorabilia before stopping to talk to the media gathered at the event. Here are some highlights from his Q&A with reporters:
Have you made a decision on what's going to happen for this year? "I kinda knew this question was coming, so I kinda had an answer ready. First off, I have some bad news, that the softball game is not going to be this year. Some complications happened, so we're not going to have the softball game. But I got some good news: I am training to come back and play. But it's not up to me. It's up to the team and everything. But I am planning on coming back, so we'll see what happens."
Can you tell us about coming back to play and what went into that decision and why another season for you? "Everyone says, 'You don't have anything to prove.' Which, I don't. I don't play the game of football to prove anything to anyone. I play the game of football because I love it, I'm passionate about the game of football. It's what I've been doing. It's what I love to do. It took me a while to make a decision, but I felt like I needed this time. I've been playing professional football for a very long time. I've been blessed, in my eyes, to play for one of the best organizations in the NFL. And to have the opportunity to be able to play again? I wanted to give myself that time to think about it, and I thought about it, and I knew where my heart is and it's always been here."
What has been different about this offseason than in the past? "Well, I'm human – (there's) stress. Not playing as much as I did before last year, not dressing for the Super Bowl, that kinda weighed into my [thinking], like 'Is it time for you to let it go?' But in my mind, I still knew that I could play the game of football. Coming back for me last year, I don't think it was me physically playing the game, it was moreso mentally. When I say mentally … when you've been playing the game as long I as have at the same speed for the New England Patriots, everything has to be perfect. You have to be perfect. Last year, I didn't feel that way at all until towards the end of the season, but at that point, it was too late, because our team was already developed. So in order to sit back and watch the guys perform and play each an every week, that was a hard thing for me to swallow. But to have the time to think what I wanted to do forward? All I did was pray to God and let him help me make decisions to see what was best for me and my family."
Do you feel with the added season that your knee will be even better this year? "All I heard from the time I heard it to about now, 'It's going to take you a year and a half. It's going to take you a year and a half.' But, as the competitor that I am, I want to defeat all odds. I want to come back. I want to be who I was before, but that wasn't it. So when that time came, it was like 'OK, you're going to be in your 14th year in the league, what do you want to do? A year-and-a-half, they say.' But, I felt good. So I just made the decision, 'Hey, I'm going to do my best and do what I've always done: Work hard to get back to work.'
Does it feel any different from a year ago at this time? "Oh, it's totally different than a year ago at this time. I feel like it's back to where it was. I felt like it was back to where it was, at some point in the season last year. But like I said, mentally, it wasn't there. Every aspect of the game wasn't there for me last year over the course of the season."
With this last year, have you taken on a mentor's role and prepared to give back to the younger guys like Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley? "That comes with the territory. Just being on the team, being with the guys, knowing who you are, the guys know who you are, that just comes with it because they always come and they'll ask because I'm the older guy and they know that I've seen a lot and know a lot. It's the territory."
What does your family think? What are your kids saying to you? "Football's in our family. It's been that way. I figured that out when my wife started talking football and that was like, 'Wow, OK, it's in our family.' But they're with me, they're behind me, they're going to give me support through whatever."
Will you approach the Patriots about a new deal? Obviously, you don't have a contract. How is this going to work going forward? "Like I said, I just pray to God and let him take care of it, and today you're all going to blast it out, so they're going to hear it. So I'm just hoping. I'm just praying. A phone call will come, but it's not up to me to contact them."
If that phone call doesn't come – I know you said you wanted to be a Patriot forever – will you pursue another team eventually? "It's still the same. I'm not going anywhere. If it doesn't come, it doesn't come. I'm content with it. That's another of the decision that I had to make that, 'If that phone call doesn't come from the New England Patriots, are you ready for that?' Yes, I am. I am."

"Terrific Apartment & Helpful Owner"
We booked this apartment for 3 weeks in September-October. Both the apartment and the owner get a terrific rating for our stay. The unit is spacious and tastefully decorated. There were a variety of restaurants and cafes within a short walking distance. We had several information requests of the owner (Catarina) during our stay. We sent these to Catarina via e-mail and she answered them promptly. We could not have hoped to find more comfortable accommodations nor a more helpful and obliging owner. We would certainly stay there again if we venture back to Faro and would highly recommend it.

Bengaluru, Oct 16: Half centuries from veteran Wasim Jaffer and youngster Ganesh Satish led Vidarbha's reply to Karnataka's 350 on the 2nd day of their 4-day Group A Ranji Trophy match here today at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Jaffer, who moved this season from Mumbai to Vidarbha, scored 68 while Satish was unbeaten on 81 against his former state team. At stumps on Friday, Vidarbha had made a slow progress to 172/2 in 72 overs. They still trail by 178 runs and the battle for a crucial first innings lead will continue tomorrow. (Day 1 report: Karnataka 298/6)
Right-handed Satish, who was part of Karnataka's Ranji Trophy winning side in 2014, had switched to Vidarbha due to lack of chances. Now, playing at his 'home' ground, he showed lot of patience , batting for 307 minutes after walking in with his team in early trouble at 3/1 in 1.1 overs.
The 27-year-old Satish and Jaffer, 37, kept the hosts' bowlers at bay with a 117-run partnership for the 2nd wicket. Between lunch and tea the duo remained unseparated despite some tense moments when bowlers had several prolonged appeals, putting the umpires under pressure. In the entire second session there was no success for Karnataka.
They had to wait till the 2nd over (44.4 of the innings) after tea to end the partnership. Jaffer, maybe losing concentration due to the 20-minute break, was caught by Karun Nair at mid-on off left-arm spinner J Suchith. Jaffer's stay was for 206 minutes, scoring 10 boundaries in his 120-ball 68.
Satish, who had scored a century for Karnataka in the 2014 edition final, continued his dogged approach at the wicket. Determined after getting hit on the helmet off the 2nd ball, by Abhimanyu Mithun, Satish carried on in the company of his captain S Badrinath (21 not out).
Having faced 226 balls for his 81 not out, Satish's job is still not finished. He and Badrinath have to continue in the same way on Saturday.
For Karnataka, the pace trio of skipper R Vinay Kumar (0/31 in 16 overs), Mithun (1/31 in 14 overs) and left-armer S Aravind (0/32 in 15 overs), who made his international debut recently (India-South Africa T20I in Dharamsala) bowled 45 overs between them on a sluggish pitch. Only Mithun had a success, in his very first over but nothing after that.
Earlier, Karnataka resumed the day at 298/6 and were bowled out for 350 in 102.4 overs. Wicketkeeper-batsman CM Gautam scored 30 and Vinay made 22. Left-arm paceman Ravi Thakur took 4 wickets.
It was a day when Vidarbha depended on their 3 outstation professional batsmen to take the fight to the defending champions. Though, it is not over yet.
Brief scores
Karnataka 350 all out in 102.4 overs (Manish Pandey 104, Robin Uthappa 59, Karun Nair 58, CM Gautam 30, Ravi Thakur 4/50, Swapnil Bandiwar 2/74) Vs Vidarbha 172/2 in 72 overs (Ganesh Satish 81 batting, Wasim Jaffer 68, S Badrinath 21 batting, J Suchith 1/27, Abhimanyu Mithun 1/31)
Match state - Vidarbha trail by 178 runs with 8 wickets in hand and 2 days remaining

|Property type
Our efficiency home was built in 1869 by Mr. Patrick Walsh, orginally from Port Kerwin. Patrick passed away in 1932 and James, his son, became owner. It continued to be passed down in the Walsh family, and was purchased by Patricks Great, Great, Great grandsons and restoration began in the spring of 2010.
We restored the house as close as possible to its original layout, but also added modern comforts and some openess, to take advantage of the wonderful view of Fermeuse harbour.
Three bedrooms can sleep six, and a Futon downstairs can sleep two.
Located on the Fermeuse Harbour, sit on the deck and enjoy the ocean. Not far from entrance to East Coast Trail. Only need to bring food, as it is ready to live in.
We grew up in Fermeuse and acquired this home from our uncle and proceeded to renovate it completely and finished reno last year
Lucy Walsh purchased this house in 2010
This house has been in the Walsh family for over 140 years. Situated on the beautiful harbour of Fermeuse, only 75 km south of St. John's.
Completely furnished, with all bedding, towels, dishware, utensils, ptos/pans, . Just bring food!
3 couples, mostly seniors, in fact one gentleman was 93, stayed at this premise in early August 2012. We had a wonderful time. The property was everything that was advertised and more. The keepers of the property were close by and were very helpful in making our stay enjoyable. Every year we stay at a different location and this was one of our most memorable stays. The location is quiet, the amenities excellent and the deck makes a lovely retreat on a warm, fine evening. If the moon is out it is a bonus. We would certainly recommend this property.
Recommended for: Age 55+, Pet-friendly, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, People with Disabilities, Romantic Getaway
Five friends came down to ring in the new year. There were a bunch of very impressive fire work shows that went off around the bay and we had a view of the whole thing. The kitchen was well equipped and the house is close to the East Coast Trail. Very comfortable and spacious. Lucy even called us on our way down to check in with us! She is a lovely lady. We would stay here again!
Whether you want to sit around the fire or get comfy on the couch, this gorgeous old home with its well thought out updates is a crowd pleaser. I brought my wife and two other couples here for a birthday surprise kid free time. The pictures are a true to life representation of this home. We plan on returning here a couple more times in the coming year.
The house is in a beautiful location, and stocked up with basically everything you'll need. It's refurbished and very clean. Would definitely stay again!
This was a very nice vacation rental. Interior was very modern and convenient. Bedrooms and bathroom were very clean and spacious. Fermeuse wharf was with in walking distance and in typical NF hospitality one of the locals provided us with a free fresh catch of cod for dinner. Deck overlooked the water which provided entertainment watching the local boat activity. Fermeuse is only a short drive from Argentia which let us settle in and get prepared for the rest of our adventure around NF. Lucy the owner was very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this vacation rental to anyone.
Maggie by the sea is a gem! The home was clean, comfortable, spacious, and in a great location. It had everything we needed for a family of 5 - laundry facilities, lots of sleeping space, a beautiful view of the harbour, an outdoor deck and fire pit, and a well equipped kitchen. We were able to see many wonderful sites within a close distance, and return to our vacation home to rest up for our next adventure. We loved visiting nearby Ferryland to view the whales, hike and enjoy a delicious picnic at the Lighthouse. Another highlight for us was St.Vincent's beach, where we were able to watch the whales feeding, as well as our visits to the many coves and harbours along the Irish Loop. Lucy and her husband were so very kind and welcoming. We would highly recommend this property!

I have watched tons of movies, here are a couple movies that really stood out to me.
Son of Rambow - I literaly just saw this movie yesterday and its near the top of the list. Its a touching story about two boys from England during the 1980s, who decide to make a movie. They go through a lot of near death expiriences to make it, Will nearly drowns and Lee Carter gets stoned by angry kids. These two boys become blood brothers who do help each other through lots of problems, and suffer the consequences.
Music And Lyrics - My writer's block movie, I watch this with my Mom. Its hilarious and a good hang out movie.
The Wiz - Also very funny, my friends and I sing songs from this movie all the time.
Moonwalker - This movie is much older than I am, but I can't help it if I love Michael Jackson! I admit this movie may be a little bit corny but don't mess with Michael. I wish I could see it on an actual T.V instead of YouTube though....

Annual Oyster Roast Set for March 20
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Trident Academy Parents Association (TAPA), the school's adults-only Annual Oyster Roast is just around the corner. On Friday, March 20, from 6:30pm-9:30pm, on the school's campus, Trident Academy family and friends will gather for a fun-filled evening of oysters, chili, beer, wine, and soft drinks. Proceeds from the friend-raiser go to TAPA in support of the school's mission.
Adding to the festivities this year will be a big screen television in the school's multi-purpose room to allow viewing of NCAA March Madness. Basketball is serious business in March and TAPA volunteers have planned ahead so that fans will miss none of the action. There will also be an opportunity to participate in a silent auction for miscellaneous items. Charleston Outdoor Catering (Jamie Westendorff) will be on hand once again orchestrating the roast – Jamie and his crew have been a tradition at this event for many years.

The DSSAT/CANEGRO model was parameterized and its predictions evaluated using data from five sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) experiments conducted in southern Brazil. The data used are from two of the most important Brazilian cultivars. Some parameters whose values were either directly measured or considered to be well known were not adjusted. Ten of the 20 parameters were optimized using a Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) algorithm using the leave-one-out cross-validation technique. Model predictions were evaluated using measured data of leaf area index (LAI), stalk and aerial dry mass, sucrose content, and soil water content, using bias, root mean squared error (RMSE), modeling efficiency (Eff), correlation coefficient, and agreement index. The Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT)/CANEGRO model simulated the sugarcane crop in southern Brazil well, using the parameterization reported here. The soil water content predictions were better for rainfed (mean RMSE = 0.122 mm) than for irrigated treatment (mean RMSE = 0.214 mm). Predictions were best for aerial dry mass (Eff = 0.850), followed by stalk dry mass (Eff = 0.765) and then sucrose mass (Eff = 0.170). Number of green leaves showed the worst fit (Eff = −2.300).The cross-validation technique permits using multiple datasets that would have limited use if used independently because of the heterogeneity of measures and measurement strategies.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Igesund bounces back as Freese is axed
When Benjamin Franklin - renowned author, political theorist and co-founding father of the US - said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes, he should have added the third, the certainty of South African soccer coaches' uncertain future.
The coaching merry-go-round in the PSL claimed another casualty of the season yesterday morning when, in a shock move, newly promoted Highlands Park gave mentor Allan Freese the chop and replaced him with former Manning Rangers, Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund.
If Highlands Park had a rank bad start to the season like Maritzburg United had last season, Freese's sacking would perhaps have been understandable.
Although they were played off the park by Supersport United at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday, they were highly competent.
Whether Freese's axing was a rational decision will be tested when they face Chippa United in a Telkom Knockout Cup last-16 clash at the Makhulong Stadium in Tembisa, East Rand, on Friday night.
Though Igesund's career has come full circle with the club he once represented as a player, he is under no illusions about how difficult his task will be.
"There's not much time in football and coaches are aware of that. But you have to start by crawling before you think of walking," Igesund said.

'Modesty' is eroding innocence
The party was in full swing. In the hot, damp atmosphere steaming from pendulous hips and sweaty gyrations, clammy bodies were heaped on top of each other like a pile of freshly cooked blintzes.
And, all the while, the relentless throb of melodically challenged chart-toppers boomed over the speakers.
Would you be happy to let your child be a part of all this?
Probably not - if the venue was a gloomy night-club where dark corners concealed guilty and possibly illegal secrets. But the scene described here actually took place at a girls-only "street dance" party to mark my daughter's eighth birthday - held, by the way, on a Sunday afternoon in the cheerful surroundings of our sunlit playroom. The only things being passed around surreptitiously were packets of Swizzles.
A completely innocent way to celebrate a little girl's birthday, you might think. Yet when invitations were dispatched, the idea was met with some resistance, as questions were raised about whether it was "appropriate" for frum Jewish girls to celebrate in this way. Indeed, some of the invitees didn't show up - one theory, according to my daughter, being that we would be playing "non-Jewish" pop music. It made me wonder if we should have spun a few Elkie Brooks discs instead.
The fright wig has been reborn as a glossy mane
The party still went ahead and the girls who did come were thrilled to try out poptastic routines and gymnastics under the careful tutelage of a charming young (and Jewish) dance teacher.
But discussions concerning what constitutes fitting entertainment for eight-year-olds once again shine a light on the lumbering hypocrisy and self-righteousness that can prevail when it comes to that old chestnut of "appropriate behaviour for a religious girl".
It's much worse here in Manchester, Britain's holiest Jewish city (even the Rabbonim arbitrarily acknowledge this - as did ITV's recent exposé, Strictly Kosher). Not only is the Charedi community growing exponentially, but the numbers of Ba'alei Teshuvot - or the nouveau observant - are expanding, triggering a shift from centre-left to the more intolerant right.
I have no problem with people acquiring religion and respect anyone's interpretation of Judaism. After all, I'm shomer Shabbat myself. But the danger is allowing an ethos to flourish that takes an uncompromising view of modesty and external influences - even when it comes to something as blameless as an all-girls birthday party.
For in the process we find increasingly stringent lines of demarcation between what is innocent and what is genuinely inappropriate. As one parent, who admittedly sent her daughter to the party, told me: "This is probably the last year you can get away with this." Why? Is bopping away to the likes of JLS wholly (or holy) unacceptable when a Jewish girl hits nine ?
Of course, this is made even more irritating by the confusing standards already set by some religious women, in the name of so-called modesty.
Take the sheitl. Once merely a fright wig, a birds' nest that couldn't possibly be confused with anything other than false hair, today's wigs have been reborn as long manes of caramel highlights and glossy, "because-I'm-orth-it" styles.
For those of us wrestling with perpetual bad hair days, these women look stunning. And why not? It's a contemporary and fashionable twist on the halachah of ensuring a woman's hair is only exposed to her husband. But, often, the by-product is that it makes the wearer even more attractive. It's a mixed message, one that makes no sense.
So where does the axe fall when embracing or keeping out the modern world. If gorgeous curtains of false hair are acceptable then where is the harm in a dance party for little girls. Will a blast of the tunes of One Direction really pollute a child?
My daughter has a lovely mix of friends, from girls whose mothers wear trousers to those whose fathers who have learnt in yeshivah. But their common denominator is childhood. Making normal youthful pastimes the subject of adult religious debate is what truly chips away at innocence. Now that's what I call inappropriate.

The Promise
I know it's a lot to ask, but it has already been asked from my heart to yours. My life will carry me to far and distant places, and it may be that you won't be able to come travel with me.
But if I promise to always return to you, will you promise to hold faith in the palm of your loving hand, and wait for me on the shores of the sea?

Vered Back -- creator and founder of VERED organic botanicals -- is a master esthetician and herbalist who brings twenty-three years of experience to her product line. Vered began as a skilled esthetician, learning to integrate holistic modalities such as phytotherap. She combines extensive bodywork and aromatherapy.
The inception of VERED organic botanicals started at the urging of her private clients, who begged her to bottle her customized facial oil blends. Despite the incredible feedback from clients, the true motivator to create the VERED line centered around her own challenging health issues, which she faced years later after she experienced a sudden health crisis. She turned to her massive collection of organic herbal remedies and tinctures that she had been extracting for years and took control of her own health. This was the true turning point for Vered. She was both excited and humbled by the healing effect of nature and her ability to utilize it.
