On August 28, 2008, a group of current employees sued ADT Security Services, Inc. for failing to pay time and one-half for overtime hours worked, as required by the federal Fair Labor and Standards Act. The employees include those with positions as service and maintenance technicians as well as commercial and residential installers also known as installation technicians.
The class action was filed in Eastern District of Texas, which is the federal district in which most if not all of the named employees reside. The employees allege that ADT failed to pay them time and one-half for those overtime hours spent traveling to and from commerical locations and residences or those hours spent at the office prior to their first job of the day or subsequent to their last job of the day.
It is possible that ADT misclassified such employees as exempt from the FLSA standards for maximum hours, however, the employees claim that they were not exempt under the FLSA guidelines and deserved to be paid time and one-half for both their travel time to job locations and for all other work hours over 40. Simply because an employer misclassifies employees as exempt, accidental or otherwise, does not prevent those employees from recovering lost wages and other damages from their employers, and in fact, similar lawsuits have been filed around the country alleging overtime violations against employers in a variety of fields.
If you work for ADT or any company and believe that you have been misclassified an an employee exempt from receiving overtime wages, then please contact our firm at www.pbmattorneys.com so that we can help protect your rights. Pogust Braslow and Millrood LLC is actively involved in such lawsuits, and we would be happy to provide you with a free consultation for this or any of your legal needs.

In the December 1993 BR we published a lengthy review of John Van Seters's Prologue to History: The Yahwist as Historian in Genesis (Bible Books, BR 09:06). Our reviewer, Richard Elliot Friedman, of the University of California at San Diego, leveled numerous criticisms at the book, writing at one point, "There is therefore reason to doubt the soundness of method and reasoning in Van Seters's work. In this scholarship the [Bible's] text rarely speaks for itself …. Rather it is the scholar's spin on the text that houses the point." Van Seters's rebuttal to Friedman's critique follows this introduction; Friedman's reply follows that.

what is a drogue?
o far we've had a careful look at a number of storm management tools:
1. Reefing the sails.
2. Heaving-to.
4. Running off.
Now we'll examine the other half of the fifth option of storm controls: the use of a drogue or drag device towed behind a vessel to slow her if she picks up too much speed from strong wind and waves coming from astern. A drogue helps maintain reasonable steering control, and if the vessel is overtaken by a breaking wave, the drogue tends to hold the stern of the boat into the overtaking wave. This helps keep the yacht from turning broadside to the sea and possibly broaching and being rolled over sideways. Or even worse, from being pitchpoled—flipped end over end like a tumbleweed in Arizona. These are certainly dreadful prospects.
While mentioning these horrific things, however, I believe we need to keep them in perspective. Again and again in this book I've spoken of the unlikelihood of meeting severe storms and breaking waves. For what it's worth, I can say that only once in my sailing career have I shook hands with a really violent breaking wave situation, and that lasted 6 or 8 hours. We need to tuck away in the back of our minds a system or systems to deal with extreme winds and breaking waves and to put the equipment on board to carry out our defense, but we shouldn't flog ourselves with excessive angst about what might or might not happen.
Yachting magazines and entirely too many sailing books tend to make you believe that there's a Force 10 problem circling beneath every distant cloudbank. In order to make exciting reading, some of these accounts are repeated over and over again by writers with minimal sailing experience—some who have barely crossed an ocean or two. Meanwhile the safe and easy passages are ignored. Yet editors will buy a white-knuckled storm story every time because they hope it will sell books and magazines.
I've written many times that in my experience 50% of the time the winds I've met have been 15 knots or less; it seems to me that what you need is a sail plan with lots of area for light winds, but a rig that can be shortened down quickly and easily.
To continue: We've seen that a parachute sea anchor functions at the bow of a boat and is set at the end of a nylon warp hundreds of feet long. The yacht hangs on this line from the parachute and is essentially anchored to the sea.
The function of a drogue is just the opposite. The vessel may be racing along before a strong wind with a wild and unpleasant motion and be hard to steer. A wind-vane steering device or an autopilot may not be able to keep up. An expert helmsman can cope for only a few hours before he's exhausted. If you put a measured drag behind the boat, however, she will slow dramatically and her motion will be greatly improved. The waves rolling up astern no longer look so threatening, and the steering changes from semi out of control to something more regular and docile.
When a big wave charges up from astern and tends to turn the yacht broadside, the drogue firmly holds the back of the boat into the wave. Depending on the drag of a particular size and design of drogue, it can hold the yacht relatively immobile or it can yield significantly. This almost sounds as if the drogue needs a variable shutter of some kind that can be opened and closed to control the amount of resistance. Several such devices have been marketed briefly, but in practice a variable shutter doesn't appear to be necessary, and a drogue size is generally selected on the basis of a boat's displacement.
An advantage of using a drogue in heavy weather is that the yacht can be steered a little, which means that she can be maneuvered away from big ships and islands and reefs. With a parachute sea anchor, once it's set there are no steering options, and while the storm rages on, recovery is impossible. Additionally, as we have seen, backing down on a parachute sea anchor can put threatening loads on a ship's rudder, which needs to be tied off and supported with stops and heavy shock cord.
We saw in the last chapter how Prisana's 2-inch-diameter stainless steel rudder shaft twisted 15 degrees during the great storm she experienced while hanging on a parachute at the southwest corner of Australia. With a drogue, the boat is moving forward all the time, which means the rudder is operating in normal fashion.
During the 1970-71 Antarctic circumnavigation of the 53-foot cutter Awahnee, Bob Griffith and his crew lay to a stern drogue time after time. However, Awahnee had a strong crew of six and used a sea anchor that not many yachts would be able to produce or manage. "We hove-to with the stern into the wind and swell held by a sea anchor consisting of about 300 feet of line with half a dozen car tires and a small anchor on the end," wrote crew member Pat Treston in the New Zealand magazine Sea Spray.44
In several gigantic Antarctic storms, the crew of Awahnee set as many as three drogues—one of 80 feet of 7/16-inch chain, a second of two or three car tires on 200 feet of line, and a third of 600 feet of line with an anchor and a tire on the end. "However we had to steer all the time to try to keep the quarter to the wind and waves," wrote Treston. Broken water flew everywhere, and there was some damage, but the yacht and crew came through unharmed.
I marvel at the success of the voyage and the cheerful, heroic crew, but I shudder at the work involved. Certainly a modern drogue would have been more effective and easier to handle.
A drogue can be made of almost anything as long as it's down in the water so the waves won't pick it up and carry it forward on the surface. In October 1985, the yacht Hudie, a 37-foot Tayana cutter, en route to Key West from Galveston, Texas, ran into Hurricane Juan. During the crew's spirited fight with the sea, they managed to slow from 6 knots to 3 by putting out four warps, each 250 feet long, to which they tied buckets, tarps, sail bags, an 8-foot dinghy full of water, and an Igloo ice chest loaded with ice and sodas.4
Thirty-five years ago I used two automobile tires for a drogue in a Force 9 storm off the Oregon coast. I ran a short length of chain through the tires and then shackled the chain to a 5/8-inch-diameter line that I streamed from the transom. The tires slowed the vessel, but sometimes a wave washed them up alongside the cockpit. I tried to deal with this by adding lead weights to the tires to sink them a little. But the tire arrangements took a lot of work just when you felt like not working at all. Today's commercially produced drogues are vastly superior in all ways.
In 1984, while preparing his 55-foot ketch for a fall trip from New York to the Caribbean, longtime sportsman Frank Snyder asked sailmaker Skip Raymond to make a stern drogue "from some kind of open net."
"Skip went to work," wrote Snyder, "beginning with a small model before building the full-sized drogue, which is 3 feet in diameter at the forward end, 4 feet long, and tapers to 1 foot in diameter at the after end. It is made of 2-inch nylon webbing,
stitched in 6-inch squares. Spliced into the 3/8-inch 1 X 19 wire hoop at the forward end are seven 5/16-inch nylon lines 6 feet long, which converge and are spliced into a single, heavy swivel."
For stowage, it's possible to turn the heavy 1 X 19 wire into a figure eight and fold one half back on itself, making a compact loop that goes into a small, flat bag 2 feet long, 1 foot wide, and 4 inches deep.
Snyder put Skip Raymond's drogue on board his yacht Southerly, never thinking that on his trip to Bermuda the drogue would have its first big test. For the first 30 hours the powerful yacht had fair winds and averaged 8 knots. Then the barometer began to drop and the sky clouded over. At dusk on the second day Southerly was in the Gulf Stream. The wind was southwest, Force 10. The twisty Gulf Stream current and the seas from the southwest were soon scrapping with one another; in truth the surface of the ocean was a mess.
The crew reefed, then took down the jib entirely, and finally set the storm trysail. Though the vessel was big and powerful, she had trouble dealing with the conditions, and Captain Snyder found that his boat couldn't handle the trysail on a reach. The crew wrestled the trysail down and began to run under bare poles.
The new seas from the southwest were soon larger than the old seas that were running, so the course was changed to east-northeast. But the yacht had become almost unmanageable. She slowed to 3 knots on the back of a wave, and then increased her speed to 10 knots when the yacht skidded down the front of a wave. Sometimes a larger wave speeded her up to 12 knots or more; cross-seas threatened to capsize the vessel.
Snyder decided to try the Galerider drogue. The crew led the bitter end of 200 feet of 11/4-inch-diameter nylon line around the transom and through the starboard chock to the coffee grinder on the after deck. Then the men used a giant shackle to secure the big eye splice in the line to the swivel on the drogue. Finally the crew dropped the drogue into the water.
The effect was miraculous. Within minutes the yacht's speed dropped and she was soon running at 3 knots. "The effect of slowing the boat in that big seaway was magical: a moment earlier the boat had been charging like a mad bull, with the helmsman struggling at the wheel; the next she was docile and under full control," wrote Snyder.46
Southerly continued to roll, but she responded to her wheel and was safe. The seas continued to increase for the next 3 hours, and several big waves crashed on board. By 0200 the wind went to the north; at 0400 the storm was down to Force 7, and then the storm was over. The next morning the crew easily pulled in the drogue and found no signs of chafe on the gear. The initial trial had been a whopping success.
Skip Raymond, who patented his product (The Galerider Storm Survival System), suggested that the big basket might be good for scooping up a man who fell over the side. The Southerly crew tried this in the tropics and found that the basket was large enough for both a victim and a rescuer, who could snap his safety harness to the swivel at the top of the basket. The device can be dropped from a block at the end of the main or mizzen boom, which can then be used as a hauling yard. This arrangement is also handy for lifting heavy supplies from a dinghy.
Since the Southerly episode in 1984, the firm of Hathaway, Reiser, and Raymond of Stamford, Connecticut, has sold thousands of these drogues of different sizes for yachts and fishing vessels of various displacements.
Other sailors have found that recovering one of these modern drogues is by no means as simple as Frank Snyder wrote about in his 1986 article. Sailor and author Beth Leonard, whose ocean-crossing credentials are substantial and well-known, writes as follows: "Hauling back the drogue takes a huge amount of sustained physical effort. Using our primary winch and working in shifts of 20 to 30 minutes each, [Evans and I have] taken over 2 hours to winch in the 300-foot rode." Sometimes, in desperation, Beth and Evans have led the line forward to the electric anchor windlass on their 47-foot Van de Stadt sloop.47
Two generations ago, Tom Steele, who circumnavigated twice in Adios, a heavy-displacement, slightly lengthened 32-foot Tahiti ketch, wrote about his adventure with two hurricanes off the coast of Baja California. With adequate sea room and under bare poles, he dragged 300 feet of 1-inch-diameter nylon line with an anchor at the end. This drag produced an even, powerful strain at all times, and his boat remained stern-to, moving at 11/2 to 2 knots. Steele found this method superior to using a warp alone, which he said "may skip ahead when the boat surges forward, just when more strain is needed."48
All yachts and fishing boats have anchors. Lacking anything better, I would have no hesitation about following Tom Steele's idea and dropping an anchor astern when running before a violent storm.
In the years since the capsize and upside-down roll of my Santa Cruz 50 in the Southern Ocean, I've had plenty of time to reflect on the mishap. I believe that protection from monstrous seas translates directly into keeping the bow or the stern headed into the waves. Getting broadside-on (or even close to broadside-on) is dangerous because the vessel may be rolled over or picked up and dropped on the unyielding sea. But how do you do this? Using a parachute sea anchor from the bow is one answer. Dragging a drogue from the stern is another approach. But even with these devices, I worry that under some conditions our modern yachts may lie close to being broadside on to the waves. This is a situation that we must avoid when the sea is all white and our ears are filled with the screaming wind.
Let's look further into drogues.

Take a group of 9 adventure travel bloggers specialised in surfing, cycling and scuba diving to the mecca of British package holidays, shake it well, and see if you can show that Tenerife, the biggest of the Canary Islands, has more to offer than lazy sunbathing. This is the mission my adventure blogging mates and I were given by Thomas Cook Airlines. With a bit of research, I read how the Canary Islands was boasting with marine life, but from a travel experience point of view, I wasn't sure it was for me. It didn't last long, Tenerife is one of my best surprises of the scuba diving destinations I visited. Here is why.
Best dive sites of Tenerife
The Canary Islands are an archipelago which belongs to Spain, 100 km from the shores of Morroco. If culturally it belongs to Europe, geographically speaking the islands of the Atlantic Ocean are closer to Africa. There 7 main islands in the Canaries: Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. Tenerife is the largest and the most populated island.
If as a scuba diver, you are only into colourful coral reefs, Tenerife might disappoint you. However, don't give up too fast. The reefs may only be rocks, dive sites feature impressive formations and abundant pelagic marine life. At the time of my visit, the beginning of October, visibility was up to 25 m, and the water temperature was between 23°C and 24°C. I couldn't find better diving conditions to extend my scuba diving summer in Europe! Nevertheless, due to the depth of most dive sites and because of steady currents, I recommend being an advanced open water diver to enjoy diving in Tenerife.
The Wall
It just took me one dive, the first one of my 4 dives in Tenerife, to blow my mind. Even with the research I did, I didn't expect what I was about to see. Only 10 minutes after descending to the sandy bottom of the dive site, at a depth of 25 m, we were immediately surrounded by many different species of rays I had never seen before: round stingrays, bull rays and common eagle rays. The cutest of all, the eagle ray, is quite small and has an adorable face, that seems to smile at you. My favourite underwater picture of my entire trip to Tenerife is an eagle ray (cover of this article). The most surprising one, the bull ray, has highly recognisable stripes on its back and is of medium size. The biggest, the black round stingray, was so impressive we nicknamed it in Spanish "la mama de todas las rayas" (the mommy of all the rays).
As I was quietly taking pictures of the garden eels hiding in the sand a bit further, a giant round stingray came to check me out. I hopefully had the reflex to hit the video button on my camera housing, lowered my breathing to make as little bubbles as possible to not frighten it and stayed still. The stingray came so close to me that I saw it winking at me! Rays on only a threat when they are frightened; always remind yourself wild animals can have defensive behaviour if you are too agitated. It was challenging to stand still as my excitement was high (in the video below, you can hear me screaming of joy through my regulator).
Now, we need to talk about something. While doing my first research about scuba diving in Tenerife, I, unfortunately, saw many dive centres were advertising on their website about a ray feeding dive at a site called "Los Chuchos". Please, please, please, do not get involved in these activities. I would need a full article to explain why but, basically, by feeding the rays, you interfere with their natural behaviour with impacts ranging from the rays potentially becoming aggressive if they cannot get food when they see divers to the rays losing the habit of hunting to feed themselves.
When selecting the scuba diving centre you dive with, please opt out of those advertising this kind of activity. The only way to stop the practice is by stopping the demand for it. I was so happy we talked about it with Blue Bottom Diving, in Costa Adeje, and they said they were against it and that is why they were taking us to "the Wall" and not "Los Chuchos" (Chuchos means rays in Spanish).
El Condesito
The dive site called "El Condesito" is a 40 m cement-carrier shipwreck inhabited by trumpetfish and boxfish. The ship sank in 1971 because of a mistake of navigation, but it seems several versions of the story exist, try asking the local divers! Today the shipwreck is split into 2 pieces and lies at only 20 m deep for the greatest pleasure of the recreational divers.
The highlight for me was the hexagonal basalt columns reef surrounded it. The basalt columns are similar to the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, Fingal's Cave on the Isle of Staffa in Scotland, or Svartifoss Waterfall in Iceland. In Tenerife, you can "fly" over them, how cool is that!
La Cueva de Palmar
Inside a dark lava rocks reef, you would be surprised how much colourful marine life can be found. I had never seen so many octopus and moray eels in one dive! The moray eels I saw included dotted moray eels, dark moray eels, golden tail moray eels and a beautiful tiger moray eel with sharp glass-like teeth. No wonder why this dive site got the nickname of "Moray City". Macro photographers will enjoy the thin arrow crabs and gorgeous sea anemones. However, regarding nudibranchs, it was a bit disappointing; I only found one.
The maximum depth of this dive site is 40 m, but the entrance of the cave is at 30 m deep. A cross at the entrance reminds divers that many died there before, so entry is frown upon. We just had a quick look at the entrance, and we continued our dive. A bit further down, following the sand corridor, at 33m, there is a beautiful statue of Nuestra Señora del Carmen, a symbol of protection for the fishermen.
Incredible marine life of the Canary Islands
Beyond diving Tenerife with rays and octopus, the Canary Islands, thanks to their position in the Atlantic Ocean, offer the fantastic opportunity of frequent cetacean sightings. Every day, on each way, to and from the dive sites, we saw dolphins coming to play in the waves created by the boat.
From December to March, the superstar among scuba divers in Tenerife is the Angel Shark. Tenerife is one of the rarest spots on the planet where you can easily see them thanks to its significant population. Angel sharks are benthic sharks, which means you will find them lying on the sand, but due to their pattern and colour, you will need an expert eye to spot them. They are very chilled animals but don't provoke them. The females can measure up to 2,4 m and weight up to 80 kg.
In July, you can go whale watching with a sea kayak to get to see closely pilot whales. Freediving with them is allowed but only if you request the special permit. Turtles and even sometimes whale sharks make regular appearances, especially in the marine reserves of the neighbour islands of La Palma and El Hierro.
Diving Tenerife: when is the best season?
After an incredible summer of scuba diving in Europe from the south of France to Malta via Italy, at the end of September, it was hard to accept that wetsuit diving season was over. I did not realise it right away, but Tenerife is at the same latitude than Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt, on the shores of the Red Sea! However, the Atlantic currents and winds swirling around the Canary Islands cool the temperatures down to a perfect level: never cold (min. 15,5°C in the winter) but never too hot (max. 26,6°C in the summer). That is why the nickname of Tenerife is "the island of eternal spring". So diving Tenerife was the perfect opportunity to extend my scuba diving summer in Europe's southernmost islands.
The best dive sites in the Canary Islands are mostly in the south of the archipelago due to the difference of climate with the northern part: in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, El Hierro, La Palma and La Gomera. You can dive all year-long in Tenerife as the water temperature is never colder than 19°C. Although the water temperature is at its warmest in September/October, at 23/24°C, December might be the best option, when the water is still at a comfortable 21°C and the season of the angel sharks starts! In any case, I recommend a full 7mm wetsuit with hood and gloves for the winter months.
Tenerife is only 4 hours away from London-Gatwick and 4h30 from Brussels, with return trip prices starting from £60 from London-Gatwick and 100€ from Brussels with Thomas Cook Airlines, why not allowing yourself some winter sun without going too far away and without breaking the bank?
Where to stay in the south of Tenerife?
After our late arrival at the South Tenerife Airport, we directly headed to our hotel in a well-known vacation spot for British holiday goers. Playas de las Americas is a town on the south coast of Tenerife, entirely designed for tourism. Streets are continuously filled with large resorts with a swimming pool in the middle where people go at 8 am to book their deckchair, 1€ pint happy hour pubs, and cafés serving British breakfast with sausages and beans instead of the traditional Spanish tostadas.
Don't take me wrong, even if it is not the kind of places I would go by myself, I am not ashamed to say I liked Playas de la Americas and my stay at the H10 Conquistador Hotel. I enjoyed walking at sunrise and sunset the palm tree promenade along the sea while looking at the volcano slopes and the surfers waiting for the perfect wave. Besides, this white resort town is perfectly organised and spotless, so I thought "why not?" as long as I can escape exploring what's beyond. Playas de la Americas is only 5/10 minutes driving from Costa Adeje where the scuba diving boats leave.
What to do in Tenerife Island?
As I spent a lot of time underwater, I could not visit the northern part of the Island, greener and home of the former capital of Tenerife, San Cristobal de la Laguna. The charming colonial town is a good choice if you are eager to learn more about the link between the Canary Islands and the discovery of America. The bloggers of my group who were into cycling in the north and showed terrific pictures of the view they got of Playa de las Teresitas, east of Santa Cruz, the current capital city of Tenerife. I guess I have to put these places on my to-do list for the next time I will visit the Canary Islands because now I know there is way more to do than lazy sunbathing!
However, on my last non-diving day before our flight back to London, I went hiking in the natural highlight of Tenerife Island: Teide National Park. The weather was sunny with deep blue sky, but above 2,000 m of altitude, the air temperature cooled down to a chilly 13/14°C (hoodie and scarf highly recommended). Mount Teide is Spain's highest peak at 3,715 m and the most visited National Park in Europe! However, as our guide of Teno Activo pointed it out, most people just come for the picture of the "Roque Cinchado" with the peak of the Teide behind and leave. It means you get an incredible playground for hiking away from the crowds by only walking a few more metres! We followed the trail C, and on the way, we enjoyed a few traces of Teide volcanic activity, like the lava waterfall, the cathedral and the blue-tinted "Azulejos" rocks.

I just want to tell you something about the feeding of the stingrays in "Los Chuchos". As you mentionned it, it is unfortunately a bad habit that many dive centers do here. You pointed out that we should stay away from these dive centers who feed the animals and I totally agree with that. But do you know that the ballet of rays (and now turtles) that you can observe in the Wall of Palmar is also due to the intense feeding of the aquatic creatures? There are many dive center doing that in the wall and this is why it is so full of life. The only way to be sure that one can see the rays and turtles everyday is by feeding them. This is why these specific dive sites are so famous in the island. But if you visit dive sites where there is no feeding, you will notice the difference and enjoy even more the encounters with the animals that are there voluntarily and because they are attracted by the food. So by going to visit dive sites such as Los Chuchos and Palmar Wall, people are also taking part of that feeding activity, even if that is in a passive way. There are so many nice sites that can be visited all aound the island and where the animals are respected, so guys who are visiting our island, try to dive in one of these!

Up And Down Jan Hrebejk
Published Mar 01, 2005The fact that this pitch-black semi-comedy was the Czech Republic's submission to the Oscars amazes me as much as the film's astonishingly cynical content. Weaving an Altman-esque tapestry of chance encounters and unconnected individuals, it centres on the discovery of a baby lost in the shuffle of illegal immigration. Letting nothing go to waste, the smugglers sell the baby, setting off a chain reaction of racism and class conflict that no North American film would ever have the guts to depict.
From destitute losers with nothing but bigotry and soccer hooliganism to give them purpose to pompous bourgeois burghers preying on the immigrant influx for liberal self-adulation and smug racist paternalists who make excuses for their own immigrant offspring, the film spares no one, setting up sympathies only to break them and inspiring disgust only to reveal the assumptions behind it.
That the film doesn't include any major immigrant characters is a sticking point, as it leaves the film trapped in a national identity that is at once rigid and crumbling into dust. It also inches dangerously close to forgiving behaviour that needs to be understood but not tolerated.
But though it takes a few cheap shots and has its share of lulls and false starts, its looking-glass view of those clinging quixotically to the illusion of an unchanging Czech paradise is provocative enough to make the globalised landscape seem even harsher and unforgiving.
It'll make you laugh at the absurdity of it all, then shove the laughter down your throat as the infinite ambiguities pile up and fill your head with the impossible decisions that face one more nation with shattered expectations. (Mongrel Media)

Do not—we repeat, do not—look for a revival of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air anytime soon.
"I don't think ever, like pretty close to when hell freezes over," Smith said about possibly rebooting his classic sitcom while promoting Suicide Squad with co-star Margot Robbie. "Like we're going to leave that one alone."
Rumors circulated a year ago that a reboot was in the works with Smith on board as a producer. However, some reports then indicated that the Smith project was an original sitcom possibly inspired by the Fresh Prince's fish-out-of-water storyline.
