Life Jackets Save Lives In Florida Boat Accidents

If they were polled, most boaters and their passengers would tell you that life jackets weren't really a necessity. After all, the majority of drownings happen way out at sea, not when people are just leisurely motoring down the canals and waterways around the state, right? Wrong! According to the Personal Flotation Device Manufacturers Association, "nine out of ten drownings occur in inland waters, most within a few feet of safety, and involving boats less than 20 feet long. Most drowning victi… Continue

Florida Boating Accidents - Boating Under the Influence

We all know it's wrong to drink and drive on the road, but when you are out on your boat on a lazy weekend afternoon and you pop open a cold one as you are motoring along, do you put yourself into the same category as a motor vehicle driver who has been drinking? If you don't, you should, because operating a boat while drinking falls under similar laws and restrictions as drinking and driving an automobile.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says:

Florida Boat Accidents - Use A Life Jacket!

If you've ever been around boats (or if you have taken a cruise), you know how bulky and decidedly un-stylish those huge orange life jackets can be! Let's face it, no one wants to wear one - think of the weird tan lines you'd get, not to mention that you'd look pretty dorky sitting out on the deck in a bikini and a bright orange vest. So, don't worry about it, right? Just lay back and catch those rays... except, it has been estimated by the U. S. Coast Guard that over 80 % of boating fatalities… Continue

Personal Watercraft Accidents in Florida

With thousands of miles of shoreline and inland waterways, Florida is the boating capital of the United States. Along with operators of conventional boats in Florida, thousands take to the water each day on personal water craft (PWC), commonly known as Jet Skis or Waverunners. If you don’t own one, stop in any town along the coast and you will not have any difficulty finding a business that will rent you one. Waverunners and Jetskis are fast and fun, but also extremely dangerous unless operate… Continue

Hip Hop Drum Samples

Recently, the hat has tipped in favour of the dedicated

drum samples hardware route, with new, much less costly devices starting to become well-liked among vets and amateurproducers alike. The Akai MPD, for example, is pretty much the same as the MPC series of drum sequencers, except that

it lacks any sequencing and arranging capability, leaving

that processing up to the actual host ( the
