The Phi Beta formal reception OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., March 29.—That the legislature may adjourn today with possibly a night session that may extend into morning, was indicated today when the j senate, on motion of Senator Harri-j son, took up the adjournment resolution reconsidered several days ago and fixed the time for adjournment for tomorrow. The resolution as it left the house set the time at noon of the day for adjournment, but usually the session continues until the work is finished, generally end-! ing after a night session. The senate worked on house and I senate bills today to perfect then! after they had come from the house! or just before going over there.

This w as an amendment offered by. Senator Harrison. The pay amendment, however, was to the effect that it remain at $6 a day "until otherwise provided by law'." This would give the legislature Itself authority to make the change, without referring to the people again. The resolution has passed the house, but now must go back there for action on the' senate^ amendment. The senate refused to J grant a conference on the code revision bill asked for by the house. The bill, by Mr. Newman of the house, passed that body providing! for a commission to be selected from the legislature ty make the; code revision. The senate changed this and provided that a contract for, the work to bo given to C. O. Bunn of Ardmore. The house disagreed to this aud asked for a conference. It is the purpose to send that bill back to th** house and have that body consider the matter more fully.

Trying to pick the winner of the 34th America's Cup is like opening a jar of coffee beans, picking two out and then trying to decide which is the tastier. Without tasting them.
But we at the Herald aren't here to sit on the fence. It's a ridiculous saying anyway. Ever tried sitting on a fence? There's never been a fence that was comfortable to sit on so how it's become a metaphor for not stating a preference is beyond comprehension.
It's like that other old saying: Have your cake and eat it too. Doesn't make sense. Of course, you can have your cake and eat it too. That's what you do with cake - you have it, then you eat it. QED. The saying really should be: Eat your cake and have it too.
Those among you who have worked out that these quibbles with metaphors are putting off the inevitable moment of choice between Team New Zealand and Oracle Team USA are quite right. Very clever of you. Ahem.
But it's that difficult, even after the deduction of two points for the AC45 cheating, to pick a winner .
So, all right then ... I think Emirates Team NZ will take it but the reason for sitting on the fence and having cake is that I think Oracle just might have a faster boat.
Don't panic! They have a faster boat in a straight line. So in a straight drag race downwind, Oracle might be quicker. But one thing we have learned in the weeks watching these remarkable 72-foot cats is that it isn't just about downwind speed. It's also about overall stability, upwind speed, manoeuvres and slick crew work.
It's also about that mysterious thing, VMG or Velocity Made Good. Oracle might be faster downwind but my belief is that Team NZ will be faster upwind.
That's important because, even though there is only one upwind leg in the five-leg course, it takes up more than 30 per cent of the race in time. That's a big deal, as we say in the USA.
If the Kiwis can do what they did to Luna Rossa in the Louis Vuitton, they have a royal show of lifting the America's Cup. Downwind, you'll recall, the Italians were almost as fast as Team NZ. But the big gains were made upwind, which is where VMG shows its teeth.
VMG is essentially the art of getting to the mark by sailing as close to the wind and in as straight a line as possible. Yachts - even these freaky rocket ships - can't sail directly into the wind so they have to set a course that balances speed and direction.
You can go quicker by angling the sails and haring off into the blue. You're going faster - but away from the mark. The opposition might get to the mark first if they can sail a slower, but more direct path into the wind.
Team NZ have, in my opinion, better solved this equation. They have a low-slung method of almost-foiling which sees their hulls just skim the waves and which may keep them on a tighter course to the mark.
Both teams can foil upwind - coming up high on their foils for a burst of speed - but doing so generally means you are subject to more leeway (slippage sideways) and windage (drag) and you usually have to head more off line. It will be a factor for both teams if the conditions are right; maybe for a burst of speed when it is needed.
Team NZ may also have the edge in stability, in their gybing and tacking and (especially since Oracle's loss of wing trimmer Dirk de Ridder) in crew capability. All of this may mean Oracle have to go for the doctor - raising the issue of mistakes under pressure.
Pushing these highly strung catamarans will also take the loading on the boats to the edge. It will be surprising if breakages do not play a part. Team NZ genuinely took a lot of confidence from that horrific nose dive that washed two overboard. The boat passed that test with flying colours. Oracle's boat may not be so robust.
Finally, there's another reason why Team NZ might win - they deserve to.
This regatta has been a bit of a disaster up to this point. The Kiwis have had to raise an awful lot of money to compete and have played a huge role in making it interesting in the absence of most other competitors. They had to take part in a design race for unfamiliar multihulls but ended up setting the pace; they have had to adjust to unexpected obstacles such as the safety recommendations that followed the death of Artemis crewman Andrew Simpson.
They are also the closest thing there is in this regatta to a national team, doing it for a country and to benefit a country.
So there's my choice. I could be wrong. Quite wrong. If so, please do not send me a jar of coffee beans through the mail.

I have some loose skin on my stomach after having my son. I was just wondering, are any creams that I can use to tighten my skin? I really don't want to have plastic surgery.
Any Creams for Tightening Post Pregnancy Belly?
Doctor Answers 1
Tightened Tummy in a Tube?
There are really no creams that can tighten loose and stretched out skin after pregnancy like a surgical procedure can (tummy tuck/lipo), but you could check out Mama Mio's website. They have some products that help hydrate the skin and superficially firm it. One for the breasts is called "Boob Tube" and for the abdominal area "Bootcamp for tummies".

Acorns & icons
CAMP RIPLEY — Bud Grant and Bob Lessard were here for the veterans.
And the deer? Very much secondary at the Physically Disabled Veterans Deer Hunt. And that's saying something. Lessard, and Grant in particular, are avid deer hunters and Camp Ripley boasts some massive deer.
Must be all those acorns.
That fact wasn't lost on Grant the hunter. Or Lessard the practical joker.
But, as it turns out, Grant started this whole thing.
"I've known him since the first day he was coaching the Vikings. He's kind of a practical joker," Lessard said of the stoic face of the Minnesota Vikings during the team's heyday of the late 1960s and the 1970s.
Yes, don't let that straight face fool you, Lessard said.
"The weather is so nice," Grant said between jokes and jabs with Lessard on Wednesday morning at Ripley, temperatures already creeping into the 70s. "You know the deer won't move around much. And the bucks are all laying around. There's acorns everywhere. They don't have to move."
Ah, all those acorns.
"Last night (Tuesday), we go to bed and he (Grant) has taken a bunch of acorns and put them in my bed," Lessard, 80, said of the latest in a long line of pranks between the two. "This morning (Wednesday) I put a bunch of acorns in his dress clothes (for Wednesday's post-hunt banquet). And what he doesn't know is he's going to find acorns everywhere. He thinks it's over. But he'll probably be seeing them a year from now. It's a running war.
"He'll be finding acorns forever."
Grant, the legendary coach of the Vikings, and Lessard, the former state senator and a namesake of the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council, hunted together Wednesday in the 20th annual event. Longtime hunting and fishing buddies, Grant served in World War II and Lessard in Korea, but both were participating in the Ripley hunt for the first time.
"I heard about the hunt and think I called Dennis (event coordinator Dennis Erie) and asked him how you qualify," Grant, 84, said of what prompted his first trip to Ripley. "I've had two total knee replacements, a stint in my heart ... (and Erie said) 'Yeah, you probably qualify.' And I said I have a good friend (Lessard) who would qualify, too. So they invited us.
"It's an opportunity for the guys to hunt with assistance," Grant said of the importance of the hunt, which drew 60 hunters with physical disabilities, many in wheelchairs. "I'm a disabled hunter and it's a disabled event, but I have no battle scars."
"Anything we can do to help the vets," Lessard said. "Getting deer is just a bonus. Just to be with the disabled vets. It's what it's about. It's why Bud and I are here. I'm here to hunt but the big issue is support for the vets. It's bigger than hunting."
Still, they didn't take the hunt lightly. Grant, Lessard and guide Marty Skoglund, environmental program manager at Camp Ripley, were in the field well before daylight Wednesday, hunted all morning and, after a quick lunch, were back in the field until dark. They didn't bag a deer, but Lessard got a memorable up-close look at another Camp Ripley resident.
As darkness fell, a good-sized black bear stuck its nose in the blind, just feet from Lessard, who was alone in the blind at the time. Grant and Skoglund were in a stand about 100 yards away. Both bear and hunter were startled and the bear fled to a tree next to the blind. There, hanging about 15 feet above the blind, the bear growled at Lessard, and Lessard, sticking his head out of the blind, playfully growled back. That lasted for about 15 minutes, Lessard said. In all his time in the outdoors through the years, Lessard said it was his closest encounter with a bear. That experience, and his experience with the hunt and the disabled veteran hunters, made for a memorable trip.
"It's only my second time here (Camp Ripley). I made a tour out here in the 1980s. It's an experience to me," said Lessard, who left Wednesday night. Grant hunted Thursday morning, too, in the two-day event. "I can't quite grasp how big it is and all the different entities here. I'm as much interested in the facility as deer hunting. Everyone should go through here."
Said Grant: "It's great that they let some people hunt here."
A record number of disabled vets from around the state hunted in this year's event, a month before the official state firearms deer opener. To qualify, participants had to be physically disabled veterans who had difficulties hunting in the regular season because of physical limitations. Participating veterans have served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan. The event, held in conjunction with the Deployed Soldiers Archery Deer Hunt on the northern end of Ripley, was sponsored by the St. Cloud VA Health Care System, Minnesota Army National Guard/Camp Ripley and the DNR. Event supporters included the American Legion and Auxiliary, Disabled American Veterans and Auxiliary, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Auxiliary, Veterans 4 Veterans Foundation and Paralyzed Veterans of America.
Despite overly balmy weather, at least by deer hunting standards, the hunters bagged 11 deer through Thursday morning, Skoglund said.
Skoglund, who joined Grant in the field again Thursday morning, said they saw three deer Thursday, but again nothing that warranted a shot.
"We saw a few deer, but Bud was just in his element," Skoglund said of Thursday morning's hunt with Grant. "He loved to be there.
"It brought a spark of life to the program," Skoglund said of having Grant and Lessard on hand for the event. "A level of excitement I hadn't seen in a long time. And they (the disabled vets) weren't looking for more than to say they shook the hand of Bud Grant or Bob Lessard. It was a spark of life.
"I think they (Grant and Lessard) look forward to participating into the future. I know Bud is interested in the turkey hunt (in the spring). I think they'd like to be a part of that and potentially Trolling for Troops (in June)."
Grant talked passionately about his military experience and of this experience with the disabled vets at a gathering of hunters Tuesday night and spoke again at Wednesday's post-hunt banquet, where he was presented with a print of a disabled vet shooting a deer.
"He had so many honorable things to say about the military," Skoglund said. "He almost got choked up. It was quite touching for him."
And then, again, there were the acorns.
"Bud was picking acorns out of his clothes all morning," Skoglund said with a laugh Thursday.
"They (Grant and Lessard) are always going to try to get each other. They're 80-plus years old and still having fun."

Banana Bourbon Layer Cake
This cake is a variation on the classic New Orleans dessert Bananas Foster. Prepare the banana topping right before serving.
- Servings: 10
Source: Martha Stewart Living, August/September 1993
For the cake
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 2 to 3 ripe bananas, enough to make 1 cup mashed
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the filling and topping
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 3 bananas, not too ripe
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
- 3/4 cup bourbon
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. In a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg yolks one at a time. In another bowl, mash bananas, and combine with buttermilk and vanilla. Add alternately to butter mixture with flour mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
Beat egg whites until stiff; fold into batter.
Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pans for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
When cake layers are cool, whip cream with confectioners' sugar until stiff. Fold in sour cream. Place a cake layer on a plate, and spread with filling to within 1 inch of edge. Place other layer on top, and press down lightly. Chill for 1 hour.
Slice bananas 1/2 inch thick. Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. When it sizzles, add slices in a single layer. Sprinkle with sugar. When golden brown, turn slices; cook until brown on other side.
Carefully pour in bourbon (using a measuring cup, never the bottle) and ignite with a match. Cook until flames die down, shaking the pan to toss bananas in syrup. Remove from heat.
Arrange banana slices on top of cake. Pour remaining syrup over cake, letting it drip down sides. Serve immediately.

Comments from this week's BVI Charter
We just returned from our BVI charter. Here are some extended notes that I finished up on the plane on the way home.
We provisioned the boat lightly for one meal on board each day which, due to our sailing schedule, typically was lunch. We generally skipped breakfast and ate out for dinner most days. So this was not the "find a deserted island" type of cruise, but rather one which we sought out some decent resort areas to enjoy snorkeling, a few drinks, and dinner. My crew consisted of my wife and my 23 year old son. The other two kids are a little less into sailing, so my 26 year old daughter stayed home at watched over my 16 year old son who was in school this week.
Our charter was with Sunsail, during their "double reef week" which gave us a 30% discount off their normal post holiday rate. This put their charter fee within about $100 of Conch Charters, and for that price we were getting a much newer boat than Conch offered. The model we wanted was only available as a "Premier" boat category which Sunsail advertised as less than 3 years old. Thanks to Google, I knew that the Sunsail 38 boat that we had selected (which internally was labeled as a Jenneau Sun Odyssey 379) had been introduced in a Sunsail press release about a year ago, so that we would actually get a boat that was at most a year old. It was in great shape with only minor cosmetic wear and tear. When we boarded Saturday evening, I immediately noted that its rig design was almost identical to my Catalina 250, with slightly swept back spreaders, no forward lowers, and a split backstay. The lack of forward uppers meant a cleaner foredeck with less to interfere with tacking of the headsail and movement about the foredeck. Unfortunately, this also meant less to grab onto when going forward while underway. The rounded, streamlined cabin with recessed teak handholds looked sleek, but also meant we had to reach much further down to grab on while going forward. I don't know whether it was this or something about the slope of the side decks, but my wife and I always felt a little less stable going forward (even while sitting still on a mooring ball) than we did on the Catalina 36 that we had previously chartered in Rock Hall. But that was probably my biggest complaint about an otherwise nicely designed cruising vessel.
Sunday: We were expecting the typical 15-20 kt Christmas winds from ENE, and Norman Island looked like it would be an easy reach from Road Town. But on the way out of the harbor I had last minute second thoughts. Since we had been to Norman Island twice before on group charters, we decided to head somewhere else first. If weather, mechanical problems, or other issues limited our destinations this week, Norman Island would be one that we could skip since we had been there before. So we attempted to tack directly into the wind toward the east end of Tortola, with an ultmate destination of Trellis Bay. I immediately noticed that sail trim was horrible, with the leech of the main luffing on almost any point of sail. I then realized that the boom was way too high, but when I loosened the topping lift, the boom did not drop. It turns out that the "Lazy Jack" or "Stack Pack" type of sail flaking system was holding the boom too high independently of the topping lift. This problem might have also been made worse because we had a reef in, since sometimes the boom needs to hang even lower to get leech tension when reefed (at least that's the way it is on our "Take Five." I'm sure cringle positioning can make this different with different sails). However, I did not know how the jacklines were rigged, and wasn't going to go forward to try to figure it out under these conditions, which had actually picked up to 25 kt sustained with 4-6' seas. It was clear that we would not make it to Trellis Bay before dark under sail, so we cranked up the motor, dropped the sails, and made the bouncy slog into the wind under power. As we rounded Beef Island we let out the genoa and cut the motor for some nice reaching and running, getting close to 7 kt as the breeze picked up to 30 kt. We soon learned why the breeze was getting stronger, as weather was clearly closing in. This made for a nice challenge grabbing our first mooring ball on an unfamiliar boat, but my son did a great job grabbing it and getting it secured just in time for us to head below and avoid the deluge. We later realized that we had gotten the last remaining mooring ball.
With darkness coming on, I made my first of three service calls to Sunsail. They got to know me a little too well this week. During checkout I had complained that there was no 360 degree light for the dinghy (as listed on the inventory sheet). The checkout captain told me not to worry, that it was in the dinghy storage compartment. My son had just made the difficult climb out of the dinghy onto the bow of the boat (due to stern-in docking) and did not want to climb back down again to check, so I took his word for it. Upon arriving at Trellis Bay, we discovered that it was not there. I called service, and they scolded me, telling me that it was on my inventory list, and how could I miss this? They said, "we never leave it in the dinghy - it's in the dinghy bag in the cabin." So this was second version we got of where this thing should be. I looked high and low, and there was no dinghy bag in the cabin. After some coercing, the service guy agreed to send someone out the next morning with a replacement light, which became unnecessary because late that night I finally discovered the light in a plastic "cookie jar" that had some bug repellant and some other sundry items. (No "dinghy bag" was ever found.) This was just one out of several times I got differing stories of policy, procedures, or inventory from different employees on the docks or over the phone. Try as I do to act laid back, especially while on vacation, at heart I am a somewhat anal East Coast guy who has different expectations of consistency when people are explaining things to me. As the vacation progressed I learned to relax and go with the flow on these things, and just hope that in the end they would be as laid back about things during the final inspection at the end of the charter, and not overly anal about damage and missing inventory items (like some have complained with other charter companies). Because with so many conflicting stories, I was a little nervous that I might be accused of missing something on the boat. (It turned out that the final debrief was very laid back, and unless they come back to me with some unexpected claims, everything will be fine.)
Back to our charter experience, we really loved Trellis Bay. The history says it used to be a really happenin' resort, but has declined since its heyday. The few remaining small businesses there, run by islanders, have a real homey feel about them. My wife loved the clothing and craft store there and bought a nice sweater cover-up for our daughter. We had a tasty dinner at the "Cyber Cafe" (which was charmingly lower-tech than its name implied) and headed over to De Loose Mongoose bar (recently reopened, though the restaurant and inn are still out of business) to watch the Redskins play the Seahawks. Since I grew up in the DC suburbs, and my son has relocated to Seattle, it made for some interesting rivalry. After a few drinks, I didn't care that the Redskins got clobbered. lol
Our first night was a great success. I slept great, but my wife was bothered somewhat by the rolling of the boat, but she got used to that and slept better and better each successive night.
Monday: We still had not planned out a full itinerary for the week. We were taking it one day at a time. But I decided that it would be good to get all the upwind slog done as quickly as possible, so we headed out for North Sound on Virgin Gorda. Prior to leaving, I was able to let out the jiffy lines enough to get the boom lowered to within a couple inches of the bimini. It was still higher than optimum, but significantly better than before. Apparently this boat was rigged for charter comfort more than performance, because the bimini was almost 7' high - nice for our 6'5" son, but not so much for sail trim. We motored ENE, directly into the Christmas Winds, until things calmed down in the lee of Virgin Gorda. At this point we were ready to raise the sails, but when we pulled on the main halyard it jammed with the sail up about 8'. Going forward to inspect, I discovered that the halyard had fouled around the steaming light on the front of the mast. We turned the boat DDW, slacked the halyard, and with some gentle coaxing from a boat hook held high by our 6'5" son, finally got a fair lead on the main halyard so we could hoist the sail. We had a nice sail around to the north side, but we saw weather approaching so used some motor assist into the wind, leaving the main up so we could motor-sail after making the turn to the south though the cut along Prickly Pear Island. We decided to grab a mooring ball at Bitter End, since they were more protected than the ones at Saba Rock. However, once the weather passed we quickly dinghied over to Saba for their $3 happy hour drinks. Saba Rock was a really cool little resort, isolated on a tiny island. We loved it! My wife had done a lot of research on restaurants in the area, and got a good tip for a nice little dining spot at Fat Virgin's at the Biras Creek Resort, only accessible by dinghy. We also got an unexpected surprise, as the ultra-modern DynaRig Maltese Falcon was docked at Miras. My son had raved about this boat's automation before, and getting it to see it in person was an unexpected treat.
Tuesday: We woke up in Gorda Sound to multiple strong squalls. The first one woke us up at 0600, and a second one at 0900 ripped the loop fastener for the port forward bimini strap right out of the deck. I saw the unsecured bimini getting lifted up and creating greater windage, so I secured it by lashing the strap to the dodger, otherwise the whole bimini would gone airborne. We waited an hour or so for things to calm down, but just as we were ready to leave I decided that maybe I had better report the damage to the office. Sunsail surprised me by ordering me to stay in place while they sent a service guy to inspect the damage (for a friggin' bimini???). I was in a hurry to leave while I had a weather window, but learned that their guy was right over at Saba Rock. He arrived in 5 minutes, did a quick inspection, and said we had secured it properly. On closer inspection, it was clear that this fitting had been ripped out and rebedded at least twice before. It appears that Jenneau's use of a ceiling liner prevented the appropriate through-bolt attachment. After we saw the service guy on his way, our departure was delayed by yet another very gusty squall(!), so in retrospect it was a good thing that we had waited for the service call. Finally the third squall passed over, blue skies appeared, and we headed out.
When we exited into open water, winds and surf really picked up into the 25-30 kt range, as it would be for the next 3 days. In retrospect, it was good that we had done the upwind slog already, as we relaxed and put out the genny alone for a nice DDW run to Marina Cay. We had originally planned to go all the way to Jost Van Dyke, but my son had difficulties finding an available diving boat (many companies were not running because nobody was signed up), and the only boat he found would only pick him up around the east end of Tortola. Once again we had black clouds closing in as we arrived at the Marina Cay mooring field, and I grabbed the first ball I found (only two were left) just in time to duck for cover.
After dinner at Pusser's that evening I realized that our battery voltage was very low, so I decided to run the diesel for awhile to charge it up for the night. When I went to hit the start button nothing happened. There was not even a low oil pressure alarm that you would normally hear. The control panel was totally dead. Time to call service for the third time in three days! Over the phone they directed me to the wiring harness for the starter, and as soon as I touched a wire the oil alarm sounded. This woke everything up enough for me to start the motor and charge the battery. However, the guy asked me to stay put the next morning so a service guy could check over the boat. Knowing that a bad connection can increase resistance, and thus heat up and melt insulation or even cause a fire, I was happy to oblige. Also, I knew that we had to stay put all morning for my son's rendezvous dive anyway, clearly a violation of Murphy's Law since things usually go wrong at the worst time, not the best time!
Wednesday was a beautiful morning with clear skies. The service guy, who introduced himself with the interesting name of "Gun," went right to the loose red wire. Looking over his shoulder, I could see that it was secured to a threaded post, and the nut securing it was very loose. As he tightened it with a wrench he accidentally contacted the engine block, and sparks flew. This reminded me why it was probably best that I let them do the work and not attempt it myself.
With the service call out of the way, my wife and I had all morning to explore the area. We had not gotten in any snorkeling yet, which is one of our favorite activities. But first we were curious about this brand new resort on Scrub Island, so we dinghied over there to look around. It was a gorgeous, high-dollar resort (which I now realize is owned by Marriott), with all the patios made out of manmade cultured stone, air conditioned lobbies behind smoked double-pane glass with mahogany floors, etc. We hated it. It looked like the kind of place where rich New Yorkers who dine in fancy restaurants and live in penthouse apartments go to vacation in fancy air conditioned rooms and dine in fancy restaurants. It was all Disney – nothing authentic. We stopped into one of the shops, since we were looking for a polo or golf shirt souvenir for my younger son who stayed home. They had some, but were priced at $250! The one good thing that came out of this was our stop at the Dive BVI shop there, which had reasonably priced items and a laid back, friendly staff. (They were actually not part of the resort - they just rented that space.) They told us exactly where to go to find the good snorkeling on Diamond Reef, so we headed over there. Much to our surprise, as we were jumping out of the dinghy, our son's dive boat pulled right up next to us, so we were able to watch our son dive as we snorkeled around the area.
When his dive was complete around 1230, we already had the engines running and ready to head out for Jost Van Dyke. We motored through Camanoe Passage, avoiding the Beef Island cut that was on Sunsail's prohibited list. Once across Guana Bay, we stopped off at Monkey Point for some more great snorkeling. Then it was on to Jost, once again under genoa alone as we had a DDW run in 25-30 kt breezes. On the way we passed two larger monohulls who were struggling with both sails up. We saw a couple of ugly looking jibes, and were glad we had left the mainsail lowered. However, the swells were very large and did toss us around a bit. At one point, our dinghy actually surfed all the way forward to where it was a couple of feet forward of our transom on the port side!
We arrived at Jost Great Harbour just in time to dinghy around to White Bay for happy hour at the Soggy Dollar Bar, which we had visited last year and just fell in love with the gorgeous beach. Then it was back over to Foxy's for dinner.
Thursday was a very stormy morning, with continuous rain showers. They weren't really squalls because there was no excessively high wind, but visibility was very poor. We tried to wait it out and thought we had a window, so we headed out toward Sopers Hole around 1100. But as soon as we were outside the harbor I looked east and saw lots more rain coming. I decided not to raise the sails because of concern that one of these showers could turn into a windy squall, so I just put on the autopilot and ducked under the dodger to avoid getting soaked by the constant rain. Visibility was very poor, but good enough to give me time to get back to the helm if we had to dodge something.
Upon arrival at Sopers Hole, we discovered that most of the boats were smart enough not to head out in the rain – they were staying at their mooring balls! We passed up an outer mooring ball looking for something closer, and once realizing that it was the ONLY mooring ball left in the whole harbor, we raced back to it before the 2 boats following us in discovered the same thing. However, Sopers Hole was a disappointment. The shopping was too touristy. We tried to find a locally owned restaurant but couldn't so we went to Pusser's to wait out the rains. Things finally cleared off and we headed out for Norman Island around 1430.
The afternoon trip to the Bight was the best sailing we had up to that point. We were very close hauled into 20-25 kt winds, and made 6-7 kt consistently. We had a great close-up view of St. John the whole time. My goal was to make it all the way on one tack, and at first I thought there was no way, but as we approached Haulover Bay the island seemed to divert the prevailing wind just enough for us to pinch just past the rocks. From there things really opened up, with 25-30 kt breezes and huge chop and swells that got us all wet and soaked the headsail. We almost buried the rails a couple times. We made it to the Bight in time for happy hour at Pirate's Bight, dinner on the boat, and then some gawking at the debauchery on WillyT's.
Friday: There were no rains overnight, so we could leave the hatches open the whole time. We awoke to a gorgeous view of St. John and the hills over Road Town, with perfectly blue skies. I can see why the Bight is such a popular anchorage. The view is the most gorgeous we had our whole time here, and we decided to make a late departure so we could enjoy the area first. My wife and I dinghied around to the caves for snorkeling while my son slept in. We've snorkeled the caves twice before, and it was just a enjoyable this time.
Since we had to catch an early ferry on Saturday, we headed out toward Road Town about 1330 on Friday, and discovered much milder conditions than we had seen all week. Winds were slightly more northerly than before, and only about 15 kt, with no swell and only 2-3' chop. This seemed to really be the boat's "sweet spot," as we routinely got 5-7 kt (with a reef still in) since we did not have the pounding slowing the boat down. We approached Road Harbour way too soon, and we weren't ready to end it yet, so we did a 180 and headed back out across the Sir Francis Drake channel on a beam reach that got us up close to 8 kt a few times. This was easy sailing at its best, and a great way to end our trip.
One interesting footnote: After returning, we had dinner at the Beach Club Terrace in Road Town. While speaking to the restaurant owner, he commented that we must have had an tough week to sail because of all the storms and high winds. I told him that I realized that this time of year we expected the "Christmas Winds" to kick up, and he said that this week's winds were the highest he had seen over a sustained period in the past 10 years, and much more than they normally get for the Christmas Winds. So I guess we rose to the challenge, since all week we felt like we were sailing well within our capabilities (with a reef taken out for greater comfort).
Re: Comments from this week's BVI Charter
Nice Write up! .. I almost forgot it was January up here while I was reading.
It sounds like you made the best of the less than ideal weather, It's hard to get too upset about anything when you're in paradise..and not far from a pain-killer.
Re: Comments from this week's BVI Charter
Great write up Rick...Glad you had a good time
Would you recommend them as a charter company?
Re: Comments from this week's BVI Charter
Although I mentioned three service calls, I do not downgrade them for that. I think we all know that any boat, no matter how new, will have things break. So the yardstick to measure them is not the absence of service calls, but how quickly they get you up and running when something does need attention. Their 4-hour guarantee is about as good as it can get in that respect, and their response was significantly faster than that in my case.
I also recommend Ed Hamilton Co. to act as a broker. They can help you shop around, and the free copy of the Scotts Cruising Guide is a nice perk.
Re: Comments from this week's BVI Charter
Even after this "less than ideal weather," my wife says she never wants to do another land-based vacation down there. The evenings were much cooler and lower humidity on the water than they were up on land. For her, it's boat-only from now on.
Re: Comments from this week's BVI Charter
Great followup! Thanks.
Re: Comments from this week's BVI Charter
Thank you TF! Sounds dicey trying to get moorings. What is the latest time of day that you have a decent chance of getting one?
Re: Comments from this week's BVI Charter
Re: Comments from this week's BVI Charter
Great write-up and it sounds like you had a great trip.
Re: Comments from this week's BVI Charter
Thanks for the great writeup.. One of these days....

Venue Description: ArtsWestchester, New York State?s largest arts council, works to bolster the county?s cultural presence and incorporate the arts into the everyday lives of Westchester residents. It does this by awarding grants that fund special concerts, exhibits, and performances, and by offering culturally enriching programs and services. The council?s goal is ?to provide leadership, vision, and support, and to ensure the availability, accessibility, and diversity of the arts.? Formerly the Westchester Arts Council, this non-profit was created in 1965 as a small grassroots group, and has grown into a network of 120 affiliated organizations with a national reputation as a promoter of regional arts and a leader in education. John Peckham, the president of ArtsWestchester?s board, said this of the association: ?We are an organization that has been around for nearly half a century. Through the years we have grown, and our services have changed and grown with the times. Today, we are not just about grant-making ? we are an arts advocate, an arts educator, an arts marketer ? an organization that serves the entire county on many levels.? ArtsWestchester works with the county government, several municipal governments, and business and community leaders to market the arts throughout Westchester. The organization also works as a partner with school districts to improve the incorporation of the arts into their educational programs. The organization is headquartered at the Arts Exchange, a nine-story neo-classical former bank building that is a registered state and national historical landmark. After purchasing the building in 1998, ArtsWestchester renovated, restored, and transformed it into what is now a performance venue and art exhibition space, as well as artists? studios, offices for cultural organizations, and a home of the arts for the entire Westchester community.

A photo would be necessary to judge your candidacy for a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty treatment.
The dent on the left side of your nose may be improved with an injectable filler treatment, but in general, nasal injections are not helpful for adding tip projection. Feel free to re ask your question with photos for more specific opinions.

In the artistic work of Salvador Dali, it is possible to discover numerous sporting elements incorporated almost exclusively in the presurrealist and surrealist periods.
Dali's affection for cycling is reflected in some of his pictorial works. In several of them, he represents a horde of cyclists, riding in various directions in a perspective of great depth ; the
cyclists — all bearded — carry different objects on their heads : round stones in "Illuminated Pleasures" (1929), long loaves of bread in "Babaouo" (1932), heavy stones that hold down the
ends of an ample wedding veil in the decor for the ballet "Sentimental Conversation" (1944) and strange tubers in "Surrealistic Gondola on Burning Bicycles" (1934). In other canvases — "The
Little Theatre" (1934), "Medium-paranoiac Image" (1935), "Perspectives" (1936), or "Hollywood" (1967) — it is possible also to observe among the characters a few cyclists crossing the
scene. In 1959, Dali painted one of the twentythree official postcards for the Tour de France.

problem or is malfunctioning. In order to have fully maintainable and properly recorded automated test scripts the technical tester or core test automator should have access to a well-constructed and fully documented test script that serves as the basis for recording automated test scripts.
5. Automated testing speeds up the testing effort
This misconception is pointed out and that is that many test managers and project directors mistakenly believe that creating automated scripts speeds up corresponding testing activities. Creating automated scripts is a daunting, time-consuming and monumental task in particular when one is doing so for the very first time on an entirely new release of a software system. Creating automated scripts requires having valid documented test cycles, test scenarios and test scripts that can be translated into an automated script. Planning for the creation of a test case and test script with valid data is in itself an initial input for the automated script (the output), since the automated script is a by-product of the testing cycle. Identifying the requirements and scenarios that need to be tested, and creating the testing cycles and automated scripts are resource intensive and time-consuming activities that pay-off for subsequent releases of the software where the previously created automated scripts can be re-executed with minor modifications or "as is".
The initial hurdle and obstacle is to create the first batch of automated scripts and then leverage off these automated scripts for later software versions or releases with minor modifications or no modifications at all. Realistically, a testing team that can successfully automate 40-50% of the test cases that are applicable for automated testing when test case automation has been attempted for the first time has indeed met a major testing challenge./p>
6. Maintaining scripts a previously recorded test script is always easy
This assumption is wrong! Maintaining some automated test scripts may prove to be a logistical nightmare. Sometimes a core automator may have to modify an automated test script that another core automator created but has left the company already. If information is missing as to what the automated test script is supposed to do, or if the previous core automator that left the company did not follow best practices in developing the test script the new core automator might struggle to modify the previously recorded the script or worst yet might have to create the new test script from scratch. Another obstacle that makes test script maintenance difficult is that some parameterized scripts require multiple data sets, which may create multiple permutations for executing the automated test script since each data set in the parameterized test script might require error handling or if/else programming logic.
The test manager should ascertain that best practices are followed in creating the automated test script along with appropriate documentation for executing the script and comments embedded within the test script. Furthermore, to the extent possible automated test scripts should be modularized.
7. Functional testers record scripts and the technical testers revise the poorly recorded scripts
A final misconception that I would like to bring to everyone's attention is that some test managers actually have functional testers record test scripts even though they know that the functional testers have little or no knowledge of the automated testing tool. The rationale for this misconception is that test managers want to have skilled technical testers (core automators) worked off a previously recorded script and then revise the test scripts that were poorly recorded by the functional tester as a means to speed up the automation testing activities. This practice is highly inefficient and I would advise against doing this.

Robert Pattinson's Week-Beginning UK Workday
Venturing out after a morning meeting, Robert Pattinson was spotted leaving a London, England office building earlier today (November 28).
Dressed in a black Orioles ball cap, matching hooded jacket and a pair of blue jeans, the "Water for Elephants" hunk played coy to the swarm of shutterbugs surrounding his exit.
The UK outing comes as Rob recently opened up about how awkward it was for Kristen Stewart and himself while taping the long-awaited "Breaking Dawn" sex scene.
"We were staring into the camera doing orgasm faces and stuff and it becomes unbelievably embarrassing," he told Espectacular TV. "But I think it ended up good at the end I think."
"You're trying to do something that's a singular event that everyone is expecting, but at the end of the day, with sex, watching other people have sex is never going to be that spectacular — hopefully it will be kind of good. It's a strange thing when there is so much hype about it so that you're like, 'God, I hope this lives up to it,'" Pattinson added.
Enjoy the pictures of Robert Pattinson out in London (November 28).

In previous posts & podcast episodes, we've talked a lot about minimum viable products, getting businesses off the ground on a shoestring budget and the value of releasing rapidly.
If you follow the advice you find here, you'll soon find yourself with a product or service ready to present to the world and perhaps you even orchestrate a small launch for it.
Now, what if you do all this and get virtually no result? What if no one buys your minimum viable product, no one signs up to your launch list and you get no feedback from the market? Is it time to give up or are there other options?
Discover the answer in today's podcast episode...Continue reading
In the last post, I introduced the concept of Hustle Mode - a state of extreme focus that is necessary to get a new business off the ground quickly.
As was correctly pointed out by several commenters, while Hustle Mode is a great way to make a business successful, it's not a great way to live. If you're in Hustle Mode, your health, social life and perhaps even sanity are taking a hit.
What's worse, Hustle Mode will only get you so far and if you don't know how to successfully escape it again, you'll be stuck in entrepreneurial purgatory.
Watch the video below to learn when, why and how you need to leave the hustle behind.Continue reading
In previous posts, we've covered the importance of launching your business by creating a minimum viable product – the smallest possible version of your product idea that you can release and get a real-world response to.
Personally, I swear by this approach and related concepts like the lean startup method and rapid implementation.
But what about the downsides of this approach? What if your minimal product is too minimal and your early users turn away in disappointment? Isn't it even deceptive to promise a solution and then only deliver a very minimal concept of one?
These are the questions we address in today's podcast episode…
The end of the year approaches and as has become a tradition on this blog, I want to take a look back and tell you about the most valuable lessons I learnt in the last 12 months.
The year 2014 has been the craziest year I've experienced in business so far. By any number you could care to measure, it has been a very successful year and it has been a wild ride. Never before have I experienced so much change and so many things happening, all crammed into such a short time span.
Listen to the audio below to extract as much of the insights Paul and myself absorbed this year and make use of it for your own business:
Some of the web's most successful businesses swear by the lean startup method. I've also personally used this method and I've written about minimum viable products as one of the pillars of successfully starting an online business.
In a nutshell, the idea is to create the smallest possible version of a product, release it and then grow the product based on user feedback. This is an idea completely opposed to the usual approach of building the "perfect" product first and only then releasing it to the public.
Creating a minimum viable product is amazingly useful, will make your business more prosperous and yourself more attractive and intelligent… BUT what if your product isn't suitable for this model?
Read on to find the answer…
As you can imagine, I get asked questions on a regular basis. It's something I actively invite through comments on this site as well as through the contact form.
I love to get questions (and answer them) because it gives me a real view of where you are in the process of building and growing your online business. My main goal is always to create content that is as useful as possible to you, without wasting any of your time. And I can do a better job of that, the more feedback I get from you.
Last week, I received not one, but 3 excellent questions in a row and they inspired me to write this post.
On the Thrive Themes webiste, I recently published some sales pages and landing pages that… well, let's just say they aren't ideal. They may not be catastrophically bad, but if I look at the best sales pages I've ever created and compare that to these new pages, a huge difference in quality is apparent.
So, why did I publish these pages? And why am I recommend you do the same? Watch this video to find out if there's a good reason or if I've just gone mad:

Stabbing suspect arrested after more than week on the run
BONNEVILLE COUNTY, Idaho - A Bonneville County man who police said stabbed his son earlier this month is in custody.
Sgt. Jeff Edwards of the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office says Ron Myers was running from police for about a week and a half.
Deputies and U.S. marshals arrested him at 4:30 p.m. Monday on a felony warrant for aggravated battery.
He was found at 1488 12th St. and was arrested without incident.
The bond on the warrant was set at $500,000.
On Jan. 15, Myers' son and daughter-in-law were visiting with him. When Myers got a phone call, he became upset. Deputies said he pointed a gun at his daughter-in-law and his son stepped between them. That's when Myers allegedly pulled a knife and sliced his son's arm from the elbow to the hand, severing tendons, muscles and arteries.
