Rx for Airline Cancellations and DelaysIntroductionAirline flightor root canal? With all the problems with commercial flying today, the choice isn't so funny. Using a commercial airline is fraught with more challenges and frustrations than ever. Airlines are abruptly changing course by suspending flights, slapping luggage fees on travelers, raising fuel ticket surcharges, using smaller planes, grounding older planes, and reducing fares. "Airlines are reducing their schedules and retiring aircrafteverything they can to save fuel," says Christopher Elliott, a consumer advocate and syndicated travel journalist, New York. "More flights are being rescheduled or cancelled. Airlines are cutting routes, especially to the less profitable locations." His prediction is for more rescheduled and cancelled flights. United Airlines, for example, plans to reduce domestic flights by 18% in 2009. That's typical of other airlines' plans, as well. Consumers should look for more pain. "There are more delays than ever, and I don't see it changing anytime soon," says Elliott. A 2008 report from the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S. Congress says delays and cancellations are placing a "significant strain on the U.S. air travel system ... costing both passengers and airlines billions of dollars each year. Air travel delays are at record levels and getting worse," according to the report. Your credit union can help finance your dream vacation.
"If you're going to fly, be prepared for a delay or cancellation," says Rhonda Holguin, general manager of Montrose Travel in Montrose, Calif. Heed the old Boy Scouts motto: "Be prepared." It can save you frustration come flight day. Flight cancellations and delaysCancellations can occur because of weather, mechanical problems, or because an airline decides to combine passengers from more than one flight. Compensation is required by law only when you are "bumped" from an oversold flight. Airlines almost always refuse to pay passengers for financial losses resulting from a delayed flight. Each airline spells out how it handles canceled flights in a "contract of carriage," found on its Web site. The contract tells you the policy and your rights when your flight is rerouted, delayed, or cancelled. "It will tell you what your limitations are," says Holguin. "If you're not a frequent flyer, print out the contract, read through it, and take it along. Fold it up and tuck it away in your bag." Here's a timeline of how to minimize the impact of a flight cancellation, delay, or reroute: Before flight dayWhen choosing your flight, if you're taking more than one flight to your destination and you have a choice of connections, pick the one with the least-congested connecting airport. Always check the amount of time between flights, and ask yourself what will happen if your first flight is delayed. If you don't like the answer, choose another flight. More airlines are charging for bags you check in.
Flight dayCheck your e-mail and text messages one last time before leaving for the airport. Arrive as early as possible. Holguin recommends that you're checked in an hour and a half before your flight is scheduled to depart for domestic flights and three hours before your flight is scheduled to depart for international flights. If there's a last-minute change in the flight schedule, you're there to get in line to talk to the gate agent to find out your options. You can go online to other airline Web sites, or call your travel agent for options with other carriers. Even if your flight isn't cancelled, if you're late, your seat could be given away to someone who's being accommodated from a cancelled flight. The most effective way to reduce the risk of getting bumped is to get to the airport early. Plus, if you have bags to check in and you show up late, you may make your flight, but your bag may not. Initial boarding may go as planned, but if you're on a connecting flight, you might not be home free. If you experience a delay or cancellation or a reroute while on an intermediate flight, get in line and talk to a gate agent. Carry important telephone numbers with you, such as your travels agent's, in case you need help rebooking your flight on another carrier or looking for options before speaking with the gate agent. Carry important telephone numbers with you, including your travel agent's, in case you need help rebooking your flight.
If you booked directly with the airline, call it or go to its Web site for other options. "Don't just check the airline you're on," says Holguin. "Check other carriers that fly to your destination." Also, make sure any luggage goes through to your new carrier and flight. Reaching your destinationSo you've arrived at your destinationbut your baggage hasn't. According to the federal government's Aviation Consumer Protection Division, the airlines track about 98% of the bags and return them to the owners in a few hours. If your bags don't come off the conveyor belt, report it to the airline before you leave the airport. Insist that airline staff fills out a form and give you a copy. If the form doesn't contain the phone number of the individual who filled it out, ask for it. Ask if there will be a charge for delivering the bagsome airlines charge, some don't.

Hewlett-Packard's big data strategy is still in its early stages, but HP channel partners are already finding what they describe as promising business opportunities within the portfolio.
For example, Vertica's high-performance columnar database is the sort of thing that could help HP dispel the cloud of negativity that's hanging over the company, partners told CRN. Vertica has attracted high-profile customers such as Verizon, Comcast, Twitter, Zynga and Bank of America, among others.
Vertica doesn't yet have a formal channel program, but partners that moved early into big data say the technology is a straightforward sell.
[Related: Can Big Data Actually Be The Thing That Saves HP?]
Bret Osborn, president of Lilien Systems, a Larkspur, Calif.-based HP partner, is "seeing a ton of demand" for Vertica at the moment. "With Vertica, the time to close deals is short, so it is valuable to our business," Osborn told CRN. "If you're looking for something more general-purpose, Vertica is not the right call. But if you are looking for a [speedy performance], no one else out there can do what Vertica does."
Vertica's advantages were highly touted even before HP acquired it in March 2011 in a deal reportedly in the $350 million range. Forrester Research Analyst James Kobielus, in a February 2011 report on enterprise data warehousing platforms, earmarked Vertica as a company to watch. "Vertica's customer momentum, coupled with its focus on enhancing its columnar-based [enterprise data warehousing] architecture, gives it a competitive advantage," Kobielus said in the report.
Joe Heinzen, senior vice president of sales at MicroTech, a Vienna, Va.-based solution provider that does app development and design engineering for federal government customers, says Vertica's main strengths are the access speeds and capacity of its columnar database.
"We installed a trillion-row Vertica database for one customer and had it up and running in a week and a half," Heinzen told CRN. "I can take a Vertica database with a million rows and put it on your laptop. This is due to the efficient way Vertica stores and accesses data, and the compression algorithms involved."
Heinzen is also seeing growing customer interest in the base Autonomy IDOL search engine, as well as Autonomy Virage, a video and audio analysis technology.
Outside Vertica and Autonomy, some HP partners are seeing traction with the combination of HP and SAP HANA, an in-memory database that powers big data analytics apps. Bill Loupakos, senior vice president of professional services at American Digital Corporation, has seen promising results from working with SAP and HP's Business Critical Systems server group on SAP HANA opportunities.
"As SAP opens up to the channel, it is looking for partners to resell Sybase IQ and HANA," Loupakos told CRN. "For HP, exposure to clustering and blade server opportunities, particularly with the ProLiant DL380 G7 server, is a good thing. We have four wins under our belt so far, all global customers, and are getting funding from HP and moving the practice forward."

Dressage clinic week with Rafael Soto! Who in the dressage world has not heard of the Spanish Olympic Team Silver Medallist Rafael Soto? His charisma has earned him the respect and popularity of Dressage enthusiasts and fellow horseback riders alike, the world over. That final gesture and enthusiastic 'There you have it', followed by the flamboyant Spanish Walk performed by his equine partner 'Invasor' as they leave the ring, has become their trademark, and provokes uproars of applause and attracts audiences wherever they go. What most people don't know is that the spectacular 'Invasor' was a difficult horse in his youth and was rejected by other riders as 'impossible to train' due to his immense size and strength. Besides being a brilliant Spanish dressage rider, his teaching techniques are equally impressive combined with his exceptional personality and endless knowledge. Rafael is completely fluent in English, French and German. Amazing is his command of technical equestrian terms and vocabulary. Obviously, language is a prime element in communication, but Rafael not only talks, he transmits and demonstrates in such a way as to make understanding very easy, encouraging and energizing his pupils into achieving more than they believe possible. Whoever participates in one of his clinics will end up thoroughly satisfied. Rafael is a very friendly, unpretentious person who enjoys making new friends who share his passion with to his pleasant and extroverted character.
Riding Clinic
This is a seven night, six day riding program - commencing Sunday after 4.00 p.m., ending Sunday before 11.00 a.m. The training consists of: 3 Lungeing sessions to improve classical seat 6 group lessons with our Chief Instructor, Catalina Garcia Dow BHSII, ABRSTC These lessons will determine the level and most suitable mount for maximum benefit during the 4-45 minute private sessions with Rafael Soto.
Participants will also have a chance to sit in and observe the lessons of the other guests. OTHER PROGRAM ACTIVITIES: Visit to the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art at Jerez de la Frontera. Flamenco Show and dinner in Seville. Last night cocktail/conference with Rafael and staff, where progress will be discussed and all participants will be presented with a Diploma and a signed portrait photograph with Rafael.
Sample itinerary
Day 1: Sunday Guests arrive in the afternoon (after 4.00 p.m. earliest arrival time) either by pick-up in the airport or train station in Sevilla (10 - 20 minute drive) or by means of your own transport. Meet your hosts and get to know your way around. You may appreciate a dip in the private pool, or perhaps discover the pleasures of the Spanish afternoon "siesta" after a tiring journey. In the evening, you will be escorted to the nearby town of Carmona, one of the famous white villages of Andalucia. Carmona, is the oldest continually inhabited village in Europe and as you stroll through the narrow streets of the old town, inside the ancient fortified walls, you will feel and breathe the spirits of ancient cultures, Iberians, Visigoths, Phoenicians, Romans, Moors, in the innumerable examples of their architectural influence in the churches, towers, palaces and mansions as well as in the inherited customs. Later, possibly under an indigo sky or in the interior of a centuries-old olive oil mill, you will savour the delights of the local cuisine which still makes full use of ingredients which compose the famous healthy Mediterranean diet, olive oil, garlic, onions, vegetables and fruit.
Day 2: Monday Guests are welcome to join and groom the horses if they wish, or simple enjoy a leisurely breakfast. You start with a private lunge lesson and then a small group session with head instructor Caty Garcia in the covered arena. The lunge horses are so solid and rhythmic that you only have to pay attention to your positions and transitional cues. On of the goals is to match each rider with the perfect horse for the week. With the number of highly trained horses among the 60 that are available, everyone will end up with the perfect mount. Caty is a talented and experienced instructor who has worked with many international competitors and holds some of the most coveted certifications in Europe. She will be persistent and committed that all work is done properly and in a manner that keeps the horses happy and working toward the goal of Rafael's lessons later in the week.
Day 3: Tuesday ROYAL ANDALUCIAN SCHOOL OF EQUESTRIAN ART Early breakfast at 8.30 a.m., leaving at 9.00 a.m. for Jerez de la Frontera, in the province of Cádiz, one hour away by car. Jerez is internationally renowned for its production of sherries and brandies and your trip will include a visit to a famous wine shop where you will be able to sample some of the different local varieties. However, the main attraction of the day will be the visit to the Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre, an equestrian performance titled, "How the Andalusian Horses Dance" (Ticket Price: 23 €). Here you will be privileged to see the magnificent Andalusian stallions at their best, at home in the breathtaking setting of their 18th Century palace and the riding hall. They will be performing piaffe, passage and the airs above the ground (courbette, capriole, etc) in a spectacle of light, music and colour, only to be compared with the famous Spanish Riding School of Vienna. Here you will first meet with Rafael Soto, who is an instructor at the school. He will show you around the stables and give you some background information of the school, the horses and the training methods they us. EVENING: Dinner at Epona. Collapse with a book or board game.
Day 4: Wednesday Today you will graduate to full bridles and begin to attempt some of the finer movements of the capable horses. This means full instruction in how to hold the double reins and the different uses for the snaffle and curb bits. For those who have never ridder a passage, piaffe or flying change, the experience can be a bit overwhelming at first. Lots of smiles, laughs and even shouts of joy are common.
Day 5: Thursday More instructions in the morning that may include another long lesson and then in the afternoon we all go into Seville to explore the old part of town. In the evening we go and see an excellent Flamenco show, before returning home and to get ready for the two big days to follow with Rafael Soto.
Day 6 and 7: Friday and Saturday Soto clinics Today is the day that Rafael will be at Epona. Each student has two scheduled private lessons with him today and again tomorrow. You can feel the excitement in the air. Rafael starts with talking you through the basics. Then, as the lessons progress, you try your hand at the upper-level movements - also concentrating on lateral movements to engage your horse. You may start with a bit of a walk and then a forward trot, using leg yield and shoulder-in. After concentrating on straightness on the long sides, bending correctly on the corners and many transitions within gaits, you may start your canter work, using counter canter as a gauge for your riding. Towards the end of the lesson you may be encouraged in the upper-level movements. A lot of preparation times is used depending on the needs of the individual rider. Shoulder-ins begin at the of the short side, which makes transitions much smoother and easier on the horses. By Saturday afternoon you should all be doing flying changes on a serpentine - topped off with a few steps of passage and piaffe and , of course, you will try the Spanish Walk on your Andalusian horse. The lessons end with a ceremony and diplomas for the riders.
Day 8: Sunday: After breakfast say goodbye to trainers, horses, dogs, assorted animals and friends you have made. Transfer to the Seville Airport or train station in time for your departure. (Check out no later than 1:00 pm)
* Floodlit covered school, 22 x 42m. * Two outdoor schools , 15 x 30m, one of which is floodlit. * Jumping manege, 50 x 50m, equipped with a variety of showjumps - there are still some jumping horses, but the center concentrates maily on dressage. * International dressage arena 60 x 20m. * Lungeing ring 20m diameter. * Pony and beginner cross-country course. * Stable -Yard formed by 26 loose boxes and 8 stalls. * 22 small paddocks and 3 large fields for daily and permanent turn out. REQUIREMENTS: Elementary knowledge of dressage is recommended for maximum benefit. Maximum weight limit is 75kg - 170 lbs
There are horses and instructors prepared to cater for guests of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced riders. Groups are divided so as to keep the levels similar and these usually are of 3 or 4 riders (in some occasions the groups could be of 5, in which case, the duration of the lesson would be extended). Although we are more dressage oriented, we have over 10 jumping horses from schoolmasters for beginners to National C competition level. The dressage work that you will be doing will mainly concentrate on riding your horse in a correct outline, straightness, balance, transitions, lateral movements, flying changes (depending on your ability) etc. High School work on the stallions for advanced riders will be paid separately as private lessons. The excellent facilities including a large covered school will make your lessons more enjoyable. All our instructors are British Horse Society qualified and speak fluent Spanish and English, so safety and knowledge are guaranteed, this way your lessons will always be fun, interesting and helpful.

Jane, who runs a BHS certification program, is a regional dressage judge and has trained numerous Andalusian Championship medalists. She and her daughters Caty and Vivi, are BHS and Spanish Federation certified instructors. While they teach all disciplines, they specialize in dressage and training students who plan to make teaching their profession. The instructors are particularly good with beginners and nervous riders. Caty, and at times Jane's students of the BHS certification program, give the afternoon instruction. Many of Epona's Andalusians and Anglo Arabs are trained to a high level for the more experienced riders but the family is also especially good with beginners and nervous riders.

The dress at the riding center is very casual, even for the visits, jeans and T-shirts or a summery dress, are fine. We do have a laundry facility you can use here, too, so you don't even have to pack too many riding clothes.
In Spring, Autumn and especially in the summer months, it can get very hot, so to avoid feeling sweaty and sticky all the time, try to stick to natural fabrics, especially cotton. There are many fantastic new products on the market, including full cotton seamless underwear, which is a blessing for the trail rides. Don't forget about fine cotton socks, too.Trousers:Of course, nothing beats the comfort and protection that proper cotton breeches or jodhpurs afford for riding, but if you don't intend to ride much after your holiday, you can get by with cotton tracksuit bottoms or leggings.Tops:Should be fairly fitting, and it is better to have at least half sleeves for protection to the shoulders against sunburn or low hanging branches on the trail rides. Even in the summer, they are just as cool and for the ladies, are much more "supportive" and comfortable so you can concentrate on learning in your classes. If you come in winter, it's good to bring tops you can wear in layers, T-shirts, sweatshirts and vests. Sometimes it is quite cold and suddenly it gets hot, so it's good to be able to add or subtract quickly.Helmet:This is obligatory by law in Spain, though not always put into practice, but here in Epona safety of our guests is our first priority, so it is mandatory for all riding. Light colours reflect the sun and keep your head cooler and cooling vents are a huge plus when riding in hot conditions. Also, some helmets come with a detachable net lining, which can be rinsed out everyday?. Fantastic! We do have a few helmets to lend, but it is much preferable for each person to have his/her own, as a good fit is essential If you are buying a new helmet, do try various different trademarks and models as they come in different shapes and you should find the one which fits the shape of your head.Footwear:Short jodhpur or paddock boots are the best option as they are much cooler and easier to transport, but if you are serious about your riding, we recommend that you use half-chaps along with them If you do not have riding boots and do not want to go to the expense of buying some, you must bring string shoes or boots with a small, 1cm heel and no buckles. Please note, sneakers, canvas shoes or sandals are NOT acceptable, even for beginners.Gloves:We recommend you wear gloves at least for the classes. We will be teaching you to ride a horse correctly on the bit which requires a good contact, and if you are not accustomed to this, plus the warmer conditions, blisters can develop on the first day, which will definitely spoil you enjoyment of the riding for the rest of the week

I don't agree with your mast height definition Paul.
The root vessel/rig is the old workhorse or Brig, which means two masts, primarily square rig on both. Brigantine was either a retrofitted brig or purpose built with less crew in mind and fore and aft rigged on the aft mast, but still square rigged fore . This means it has a fore course.
Barque and barquentine have the same relationship but have 3 or more masts.
Brigantine Breeze.. They were stooging around doing some training that day a month or so ago, so the main is reefed and foresail is furled etc.
Thanks chrisben, I had most of it right then eh.
The lil' guy is most definitely a Tancook schooner, and the photos are taken at Heisler's Boatyard in Chester. Beyond that, I'm sorry, but I don't know.
Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
mmd, I thought that Tancooks were larger and double ended,but I guess that there could be many different types. I also love the looks of the larger DE type,would you happen to have any pictures of those? Thanks
Rooster, very generally, Tancook Whalers were double enders (an older type of boat that was superseded by the schooners) though schooner-rigged. The Tancook schooners evolved on the island around the turn of the last century. They are most noticibly identified by their distinct "heart-shaped" transoms. FWIW, I think that they are the most sublime blue-water small sailing craft ever, but I am regionally compelled to feel that way.
Check out the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic's "Marilla" to see an equally heartstring-pulling Tancook sloop. Their resident boatbuilder, Amonn Doorly, built a replica a few years ago that he reports is wickedly fast. And originally a work-boat, to boot.
There was a new Tancook Whaler built in 1994 down the coast by a fellow named David Westergard (featured in an edition of WB a few years ago IIRC) and it shows up at a number of local events. HR posted a series of photos of the Fall Classic held in Lunenburg each September in which "Son of a Gun" is featured. The photo below is from the Nova Scotia Schooner Assoc. website:
Then there is the painting by William Gilkerson of a Tancook Whaler that I really like (I have a signed print of this hanging in my living room):
And a photo from the late 1800's of the Tancook Island shore, showing several whalers hauled up on the hard:

I agree with John, and I've yet to see a definition that defines a Brigantine as having a shorter aft mast. As John says, a Brigantine has a fore course, and believe me, it is a wonderfully useful sail (we had the one in use on Breeze last weekend, and it sure can pull). A topsail schooner generally doesn't have a course, although some do have odd shaped ones. The topsail schooners that do set a course, don't generally carry it aloft on a perminent basis, and they always set mainsail of some sort between the masts. Brigantines will always carry staysails of some sort between the masts.
Here are the two training schooners from the French Navy: L'ETOILE, and LA BELLE POULE.
These two sisterships are the last grand bank fishing schooners built in France.
mmd,thanks for the info. Looks to be alot of sail area for a slippery hull,what a blast that would be on a reach!
FAST IS FUN.......... On a schooner? Even better
The schooner posted by Paul is indeed a Tancook schooner built by David Stevens,I believe,sometime in the 1980's.I remember it sitting ashore in Maders Cove for a couple of years and then she disappeared.Apparantly someone in Truro,NS had purchased her.A couple of years ago she was for sale again,and ended up at Butch Heisler's yard in Chester.It is or was owned by the friend of a Forum member.Mayby Paul knows.Those pics were on another thread last year or so ago.
"Always keep an edge on your knife,son..."
The only square rigger with a shorter aft mast that I have heard of were the Bomb Ketches used for shore bombardment in the sailing navy days. They had a massive mortar installed forward of the main mast, no foremast, and chain mainstays to withstand the muzzle flash from the mortar.
The "course" set by topsail schooners is called a cro'jack, named for the yard that spreads the foot of the square topsail. They normally had a halyard on a short stick at the center of the head, and one at each top outer corner.A topsail schooner generally doesn't have a course, although some do have odd shaped ones. The topsail schooners that do set a course, don't generally carry it aloft on a permanent basis, and they always set mainsail of some sort between the masts.
It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

Hey! It's MY Hughniverse!
Probably John B has photos of this one, I can't find mine, and i don't have any of her sailing. Ok, I'll admit that she isn't wooden, but there is an awful lot of wood on her, much of it original. She is of course Shenandoah of Sark, built 1902 and rebuilt in 1996 in Auckland. I feel very privileged to have walked her decks, even if it was only alongside.
She's back downtown now( pier 21 ish) . Been there for a month perhaps.
I just remembered this one. This was seriously wet and nasty day with wind up in the 40's at times back sometime in the '90's.
We had just had a miserable christmas cruise with wet and windy conditions virtually every day and were heartily sick of it. We'd sailed back to Kawau from Gt Barrier and got beaten up a bit but the forecast was to improve. Right we thought, we'll spend a couple of days in the sun and go back home in a few days. Next days forecast changed again... rain 30 to 40 knots again and to hell with this .. we can be home in 4 hours so off we went. Halfway home we had a breaking wave come in from the beam and dump on the cabin top, went under the dinghy over the skylight pressured through the skylight and main hatch and wet everything we had down below.
So you get my frame of mind.
Shortly after that I looked behind and out of one of the rainsqualls and misty whiteout, this magnificent beast came charging through as if it was nothing....
Thats Adix, formerly the topsail schooner know as Schooner XXXX when owned by Alan Bond. originally called Jessica, built for an Italian. Heavily rebuilt by Pendennis in the early 90s, with a modern underwater profile, and lost the yards, giving a more balanced rig (Shenandoah had the same done). An absolute flyer.
There were a lot of shallow draft boats built in New Zealand, although few of them were schooners. Sadly few of them survive, as they were mainly workboats that got run until they died, mostly of maltreatment. There were over 130 flat bottomed scows built, mostly in the north, and a number of them were schooners, the biggest being three masted topsail schooners. See http://www.woodenboat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85689 for a ketch rigged scow.
A number of shallow round bilged traders were also built, although they were no where near as common as scows, and are generally forgotten. Few of them were schooners. The other famous shallow draft boats were the mullet boats, 22 and 26 foot long gaff rigged fishing boats, a type that became a racing boat and is still common.
Maggie doesn't even try to be a New Zealand type of vessel, and is definitely american, except in construction.
I thought I might try some schooner video's here:

On board Eleonora in early February heading from Newport to Antigua. The clinker dinghy next to the davits did well for being partially submerged several times! Deep reef in the main at this point. 60hrs to Bermuda (within cell phone reception at least) and 6.5 days to Antigua, just over 1600nm.
Bet you can't singlehand a 32-ton yawl as easily as a 32-ton schooner...Schooners are romantic and sure nice to look . I love em too but for practicality especially when short on crew ya can beat a yawl or a ketch. More possible sail combinations and easier to handle too.
Hey George, how 'bout some pics of said 32 ton schooner?

Wonderfully evocative photos. As is just visible in the pic I have posted showing the schooner "Hoshi" (which is a painting, but a very accurate one) we always used to lash the dinghies in their davits on their sides for anything other than a short coastal hop. Not very pretty, but it did prevent them from getting swamped.

She's gourgeous George. Thanks for the pics.

Notice the ketch about to be left to leeward...
Lot of twist in that ketch's main, perhaps demonstrating what happens when you shorten the boom too much on a gaffer, to make way for the mizzenmast. She needs a gaff vang! Or maybe a more leeward sheeting point to haul the twist down & out of the main. But I'm sure she'd still get left to loo'ard by that lovely schooner .
This thread just keeps getting better. Great shots of Eleonora and our very own wbf favourite, Dalia.
But George, when you want to make a speed point on a reach, you pass them to leeward
Did you or do you own Hoshi downthecreek? I know the name but not much about the boat.
I know you're all probably sick of Arcturus photos but here's one from late jan.

Spirit of the Pacific, if I'm not mistaken , is the Spirit of Adventure, NZ's first purpose built youth sail training vessel.
I was on her circa 1974 as a 16 yr old, voyage #13, (which left fri 13th and was renamed voyage #12B after the galley fire).
Kirsty , my wife , was on voyage 33, (she married a guy fixated on getting a particular old boat ,which just happened to have the sail # of 33).Isn't that interesting.
I was relating a Spirit story I was told by a subsequent crew member friend of mine , to one of Aucklands reknowned yachtsmen.
The story in a nutshell was that Spirit was cruising down the Coromandel coast in a freshish breeze when she was struck by a williwaw coming down off the range. It knocked her down so her yards were in the water and she stayed there for what I was told was a couple of minutes.Thats a scary long time for a knockdown. A member of the crew ran forward below decks , came out the forward companionway and cut away the jib sheet, allowing her to round up a little and come up.
The man I was telling the story to looked at me ( we were below on Iorangi at Te Kouma harbour at the time) and said , 'yes , thats how it was , I was Skipper that day and it was Jim.....who went forward'.

The Times They Are a-Changin' as Bob Dylan said in his 1964 hit song; however, the song that we are singing here in Oklahoma seems to be a rendition of last year's song, and that is the Drought Is Here Once Again. The drought and heat plaguing much of the middle of the United States has crept its way back into Oklahoma. In 2011, Oklahoma set the US record for the highest monthly average temperature at 89 degrees. In fact, several areas of the state recorded 43 consecutive days exceeding 100 degrees. Several farm ponds completely dried up in the withering heat. Many livestock producers were forced to liquidate their herds because they had no pastures and could not afford to feed hay, which had to be trucked in from states Goat Newsletter Cooperative Extension Program Langston University The Newsletter of the E (Kika) de la Garza American Institute for Goat Research Summer 2012The Cooperative Extension Program at Langston University provides educational programs to individuals regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age disability or status as a veteran. Issued in furtherance of Extension work, Act of September 29, 1977, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. From the Director's Deskfar to the north. However, in the first four months of 2012, the rains were plentiful and we were back to a normal year. Since then the heavens have dried up and the heat has been turned up a degree or two. We are not complaining. Although it is now hot and dry, 2011 was worse. Last year, the drought and heat were centered in Oklahoma and Texas but this year both are more widespread throughout the central United States. I know that I am not telling you anything new. What bothers me is that some experts claim that the country's current drought may be on par with the great droughts of the 1930s and 1950s and that the outlook for short-term relief is bleak. Predictions call for drought to persist or intensify over much of the United States, including Oklahoma, throughout the summer and maybe even into the fall. More importantly for animal agriculture, if the drought and heat continue as long-term effects, then the impacts will be devastating. In a recent USA Today newspaper article, it was predicated that the heat and drought wreaking havoc on much of the United States will soon hit the supermarkets: It reported that cheese and milk prices will rise first and corn and meat will probably not be far behind. High temperatures equate to less milk production. In addition, feed prices have sky-rocketed in the past few years [Thanks to the subsidies for ethanol but I'll not go there]. A Wisconsin dairy farmer told a USA Today reporter that "I`m looking at a corn crop that`s 75% and 100% gone. If I have to go into the market and buy that corn, it will take me between two and three years to recover." So it's too hot and too dry to grow corn and it's too expensive to buy. Dairy farmers are feeling the proverbial financial pinch. Several of our Langston University scientists just returned from the annual joint meetings of the American Society of Animal Science and the American Dairy Science Association. These meetings were appropriately held in Phoenix, AZ and one of the most popular sessions was on meeting the needs of cows under heat stress. I wonder what the long-

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, also called anovulatory bleeding, is any bleeding from the vagina that varies from a woman's normal menstrual cycle. The normal cycle is triggered by signals from hormones. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding occurs when the cycle's hormonal signals get thrown off. This can include alternating periods that are heavy and light, spotting or unpredictable shorter and longer cycles.
Regular monthly menstrual cycles flush out the endometrial lining, which is the blood-enriched layer of tissue that grows inside the uterus every month in anticipation of a possible pregnancy.
If ovulation does not occur, periods can be delayed, which allows the lining to grow thicker. For this reason, delayed periods are often heavy ones.
Lighter periods, or spotting between periods, may represent an endometrial lining that is unstable and leaking, either because hormonal levels don't adequately support it or because the lining may be too thick.
Other factors that can change bleeding patterns include:
Irregular bleeding can come at different times from month to month and last for different lengths of time. The amount of blood flow may vary from light to extremely heavy with large clots. In some people, the bleeding may be associated with uterine cramps.
Your doctor will ask about your medical history and about symptoms that might suggest a cause for the irregular bleeding or other hormonal abnormalities. The doctor may do various tests to check for these causes of abnormal bleeding patterns:
If you have heavy bleeding, your doctor will check iron levels in your blood to see if you are anemic.
Most women have a period that is irregular in timing or in the amount of bleeding at some point during their menstrual years, most often because of a cycle without a normal ovulation. Normal periods may resume as early as the next period or might take a few months to become regular again. Some women become regular only with the help of treatments, such as birth control pills. If irregular periods signal the beginning of menopause, the last period may not occur for a few months or a few years.
There is no way to prevent dysfunctional uterine bleeding. See a doctor promptly if you continue to have irregular periods. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to make your periods regular again, which is important for your overall health.
If the cause of dysfunctional uterine bleeding is another medical condition, treating that condition should restore normal cycles. Otherwise, treatment is based on the cause, the amount of bleeding and the woman's reproductive goals (whether she wants to have children or not).
Birth control pills, which combine the hormones estrogen and progesterone, can regulate and decrease the amount of bleeding. Your doctor may recommend that you take monthly pills containing progesterone only. Women seeking to become pregnant may be treated with medications to help their ovaries ovulate more regularly.
Heavy bleeding can be stopped with higher doses of hormone pills, either estrogen or progesterone. When bleeding is more severe, hospitalization may be necessary. If hormonal therapy does not work, a surgical D and C (dilation and curettage) can stop severe cases of bleeding. During this procedure, the tissue lining of the uterus is removed, allowing a healthier lining to take its place.
If an endometrial biopsy reveals endometrial hyperplasia, which is a thicker and abnormal looking lining, closer monitoring with treatment may be required, especially in older women and postmenopausal women on hormone replacement therapy. Endometrial hyperplasia increases a woman's risk of developing endometrial cancer.
Call your doctor right away for an evaluation if you are having fevers, abdominal pain or heavy bleeding with dizziness or fainting.
If your periods are irregular over a few months, make an appointment to see your doctor. Be prepared to tell your doctor the dates of your last few periods.
There are many effective treatments to help regulate periods and control irregular bleeding. If you have irregular periods and are having difficulty becoming pregnant, you can take drugs that stimulate ovulation. Having irregular periods, however, does not mean you are infertile. You still need to use protection against pregnancy when you are sexually active.

The scion of an acting dynasty and youngest host of SNL, Drew Barrymore was almost a cautionary tale of the perils of childhood fame and fortune after she made her debut in a Puppy Chow commercial at 11 months, brought the cute in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial at 7, started drinking at 9, club-hopping and smoking pot by 10, snorting cocaine by 12 and attempting suicide at 14. But this firestarter always manages to rise from the ash like a tattooed midriff-baring, late-night host-flashing phoenix. She did several stints in rehab, spent three months with recovering addict David Crosby and his wife, chronicled her struggles in the 1990 autobiography Little Girl Lost and got emancipated from her mom. Once clean, she refocused on work, started a successful production company called Flower Films and enjoyed numerous career highlights like Poison Ivy, The Wedding Singer, Never Been Kissed, the rebooted Charlie's Angels franchise, 50 First Dates, Riding In Cars With Boys and Donnie Darko. She made her directing debut with Whip It in 2009, the same year as her Golden Globe- and SAG-winning turn as Little Edie in the HBO movie Grey Gardens was revealed. She left numerous husbands bar owner Jeremy Thomas (married two months) and comedian Tom Green (married five months) and serious boyfriends in her wake Home Fries costar Luke Wilson (1996-99), Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti (2002-07), director Spike Jonze (2007), actor Justin Long (2007-10). But she may have settled down for good with art consultant Will Kopelman. They started dating in 2011, were engaged and expecting in less than a year, married in June 2012 and welcomed daughter Olive in September 2012.

Ageas Bowl contractor goes into liquidation (From Hampshire Chronicle)

Ageas Bowl hotel contractor Denizen goes into liquidation
9:47am Friday 4th October 2013 in Sport
BUILDING work on a £30m tax-payer funded hotel at the home of Hampshire Cricket has today come to a halt - after contractors went into liquidation.
Workmen turned up at the Ageas Bowl to find the site locked and construction on the planned luxury four-star Hilton has stopped.
Denizen, the firm overseeing building work, has gone into liquidation just over a year after starting the project.
Just months ago club officials hammered in a special 'golden bolt' signifying the end of the first phase of the ambitious project to build a six-storey, 175-bed hotel overlooking the ground.
This morning, a spokesman from the club said: "RB Sport & Leisure Holdings plc (RBSLH), the parent company of Hampshire Cricket Ltd, acknowledges the news that Denizen Contracts Ltd. (Denizen) the main contractor on the new Hilton hotel at the Ageas Bowl, has today gone into liquidation.
"Whilst there will inevitably be a short delay to the opening of the Hotel, funding to complete the project remains in place and the process to replace Denizen as the main contractor is already underway.
"This development will not affect the ground's ability to host major events in 2014.
This morning a security guard was in position at the locked gate which earlier saw numerous sub-contractors turn up for work to discover the news.
They were allowed in via another entrance to pick up their tools before leaving the site.
Work started on the development in the spring and was due to be finished by early next year.
But despite the club being confident it will still be completed in time for 2014 games, there will inevitably be a delay in the project.
It is the latest set back in a string of delays to have hit moves to turn the site into a "model Test match ground".
Controversy raged over whether to give the plan the go ahead in the first place, as it involved using millions of pounds of tax payers' money.
The site this morning Eventually a plan was rubber-stamped at Eastleigh Borough Council to pay for the £30m hotel at the ground, funds for which would be transferred on completion of the complex.
A separate deal was earlier agreed to buy the lease of the 167-acre Ageas Bowl site for £6.5m.
In the past critics have labelled spending council cash on the venture as "reckless and far too risky".
An Eastleigh Borough Council spokesperson said this morning: "We are fully aware of the situation with the main contractor and working with key partners to secure another contractor to complete the hotel as soon as possible. The hotel is 75 per cent complete and the Council's finances are fully protected."
Cllr Keith House, Leader of the Council added: "It is now about finishing the job and we are confident that in working with partners this project will be up and running as soon as possible."
Denizen has said that the firm has been placed in to administration by its chairman and largest shareholder, Paul Bolton, after turn-around efforts failed to secure its viability.
A statemtent released by the firm this morning said the move followed "stringent efforts" by Mr Bolton and a new board to fix the business after "serious flaws" were unearthed in the pricing of a number of the contracts by the previous management team.
The Standish-based contractor, which specialised in the construction of hotels, spas and leisure facilities, had completed projects in cities across the country, including in Newcastle, Sheffield, Liverpool and Birmingham.
Mr Bolton said problems became apparent in some of the contracts last year, seeing him step in to an executive role from that of chairman and installing a new chief executive to help fix the issues that had been identified. The statement added: "The current outcome – administration – was never envisaged and it was the new board's expectation that they would be able to complete the three contracts on its books.
"Indeed, the work undertaken by Mr Bolton and his new team has enabled two of the three projects – hotel developments in Southport and Sheffield – to be novated to another contractor, ensuring the jobs are completed and sub-contractors are protected. "This was not possible at this time in the case of the Southampton scheme and so Duff and Phelps has now been appointed as administrators to identify if buyers can be found for this contract and the company's assets."

ROWENA OF LOCKSLEY PART II She could smell the unmistakable odors of Nottingham long before the edge of the city came into her view.

You waited all day for them to spoil you.
He holds the door open for you like a gentleman, letting you and his girlfriend into their apartment. Soon, all pretenses are dropped as they are on either side of you, kissing you, running their hands over your body. His lips are thin, and his kisses aggressive. Her lips are plump and soft, and her kisses gentle and teasing. After alternating kissing each partner a few times, he pulls...Read On

My wife describes a recent MMF threesome we had
I hadn't been fucked, yet, but I had cum twice.

James and I have been married for just over twelve years; we have no children by choice. It is not...Read On

I had always considerd myself as strictly heterosexual. Actually, I had never put a label on myself, as I had never thought about anything but sex with a woman, but if I had to say so, I would say hetero. I had grown up like any young boy, I discovered at a certain age that girls sparked my interest. I would see an attractive girl and would feel a stirring in my loins. My friend Jimmy and I...Read On

John opens up an entirely new window of bisexual experience.
Another week had passed from my lunchtime jack-off session with John. John was Karen's big, muscular boyfriend, and the roommate of my girlfriend, Mary. After that day, I was turned off from seeing John, as I wrestled with what I did. Obviously John had "done it" before, as he was comfortable getting naked with another guy. I was nervous and scared until my cock was hard. Then I was a...Read On

Tyler York lives in a comfortable space above a three-car garage. He has his own entrance and kitchenette stocked with Capri Sun and frozen bagels. There's a queen-sized bed, a plush leather couch and a large, flat-screen TV. The land around the house is wooded with old oaks and maples, and the yard is curated by the former president of the local garden club. There's an in-ground pool out back with an HGTV-inspired slide.
It's a great life, and none of it belongs to him.
His actual possessions, the ones he would take if he moved, could fit in the trunk of his 1998 Volvo: his clothes, a half-dozen pairs of shoes, a laptop, a tennis racket, a few baseball bats, a gun that belonged to his grandfather, cheap sunglasses, a bottle of Yves Saint Laurent cologne.
He has three part-time jobs, none of which require regular hours in an office, most of which can be juggled from the couch. Tyler is not beholden to a cubicle, to clutter, an apartment lease or plans for next Tuesday night.
"I'm still kind of in that process of experimenting," he says, wondering "which avenue is the proper one to go down."
He could be talking about work, where to live, life itself: "I don't want to jump into something and have that be, like, a tie-down."
He is lucky, he knows. The garage apartment is attached to his parents' house. The gardener is his mom. In exchange for chores, his parents do not ask for rent or demand he find his own health insurance. They tell him they love him every day. He's fit and tan from hours of golf and tennis, every short sun-bleached-brown hair in place. He gets along with his brothers. His girlfriend is adorable. His car is reliable. His debt is paid off.
If there's a complaint from him -- and really, there's not -- it's that the wireless Internet connection doesn't reach the pool.
Still, this is not how he pictured life at 25. Like a lot of millennials, he once saw a clear track: college, career, home, family. Job plans were derailed by the economy, but even as full-time opportunities arose, Tyler turned away from that path. In a noisy, crowded, competitive life, he discovered a quiet moment between youth and adulthood and decided to linger.
This pause could last another few months, maybe another year. Not forever. He allows he might want the apartment and the office job someday, or even soon. He's not sure about the rest.
Sometimes, he gets in the car for long drives to nowhere in particular. Once he might have considered it a waste of time, but lately he thinks he gets a lot done when he lets his mind drift: work, his little brother's college decision, his friends' money worries, politics, the world, right and wrong, what's next.
"What's going on?" he wonders. "Am I really happy?"
In November, for the second time since he's been eligible to vote, he will walk into the booth as an Independent and cast a ballot for president. His political opinions rock and sway as he learns more; he's not enthused by Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, but he feels an obligation to make an educated choice.
Simply by growing up in New Hampshire, Tyler soaked in the politics of its swing-state status and precious early primary. It holds only four electoral votes, but campaigns know they can put competitors on defense here. Obama won New Hampshire in 2008, but Romney is a friendly face, a former governor of neighboring Massachusetts who owns a vacation home on Lake Winnipesaukee, about 60 miles from Tyler's parents' house.
This election season, like all the others, diners and churches are crammed with candidates and their surrogates. Political signs skewer every corner. Rally traffic is terrible. TV, unwatchable. Tyler's parents' land line will ring for weeks with pollsters collecting more of those famously independent New Hampshire opinions.
Candidates are fighting for voters like Tyler. He's a millennial who doesn't always know what he believes but remains confident the country can be better. In New Hampshire, people younger than 30 turn out in high numbers almost every Election Day, according to the nonpartisan Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement.
Young voters boosted Obama's win in 2008, and both campaigns are chasing them now. They're on college campuses to talk up affordable education. Romney is hoping Paul Ryan, a 42-year-old Gen-Xer, will inspire young people. Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage, a major issue for many millennials.
Back in 2008, Obama had Tyler's vote. Not anymore, or at least, not yet. Tyler was in college then, caught up in a hopeful narrative. He believed Obama was serious about cutting out the partisan wrangling that gridlocks Washington and divides the country, but he's seen no change. He's disillusioned, but distrustful of the Republican option, too. He saw one version of Romney across the state line but sees a different man on the campaign trail now. To Tyler, Romney never seemed like a guy who wanted to hear other people's perspectives. In the New Hampshire primary, which Romney decisively won, Tyler voted for Jon Huntsman.
Still unburdened by the stuff of adulthood, weighing what it means to lead a good life, this might be the first big choice Tyler makes.
He doesn't believe his indecision stems from youth, naïveté or ignorance. He thinks people favor parties, incumbents or familiar faces because they're too overwhelmed to ask important questions of the candidates -- and themselves.
"People settle for it to be easier," he says.
Tyler is deciding he doesn't want to live that way. He is coming to believe this uncertainty is how it's supposed to work, that none of those choices are meant to be easy.
Tyler has lived in his parents' cream-colored colonial most of his life. He was just a few weeks old when the York family moved to this cul-de-sac in the Manchester suburb of Bedford.
His parents, Gail and Don, had been high school sweethearts in Manchester, about an hour's drive from Boston. They saved for a house before they married, saved for babies before they were pregnant and saved for college once they were expecting.
"I feel like we were more grown up sooner, in a way," Gail York says. "We were very diligent, and kind of disciplined, kind of ready to take on responsibility."

Great design
I received mine yesterday and like the look but love the fit. Very flattering.
January 30, 2013
Glad I gave these a try!
I really love printed and colored jeans, so when I saw these on ultra steep markdown in-store, I figured I'd try them on. I prefer the 917 fit (size 6), but these worked out well! I'm 5'8, 140lbs and an 8 fit nicely, and they give a little throughout the day. I have the burgundy and green 678 fit jeans, and those run quite short, but the length on these was much better. The specs say the inseam is 31 inches, but I would think it's closer to 33. I love the print, and it looks embroidered, not screen printed. I think these will be lovely paired with a white button-up blouse. Really happy with this purchase, and the ultimate price point.

Wallpaper pattern
I don't think I can pull this pattern off in my age, I might be returning them.. I guess when I shop I feel I am younger then I really am :)
December 19, 2012
just great!!!
excellent fit from top to bottom, excellent material, cute design...definitely a great buy!
December 13, 2012
Give these a try!
I was unsure of a printed jean, and looked at the picture of these online many times before ordering. I am glad I got them. I wouldn't call the print subtle, but yet it is not loud, the jean and print color blend well. I purchased the navy cowl neck sweater to pair with the jeans.
November 29, 2012
Great Jeans!
Love these jeans! I was originally going to buy a solid color, but turned to these instead. They have that regular 'jeans' color to them, but with the pattern, they are so easy to dress up or down. I was a little concerned about stretch, but they kept their shape really well. I have never been a fan of skinny jeans before, but now I believe I have been converted!

What You Can Do to Improve Knowledge SharingThursday, 1st November 2012
By James Mullan
We all know how important it is for organisations to create and share knowledge. This is especially true in the legal sector, where knowledge of the law and legal subjects is what a law firm sells. Yet knowledge sharing within law firms can be especially difficult. There are many reasons why this is the case, but knowledge staff can take steps to improve knowledge sharing.

Wordpress 2.9 with Undo and Media Editor
The free content management system, Wordpress, now available in version 2.9, (codename Carmen), comes with some major changes.
Among the changes is the undo/trash function that deposits deleted posts in the system trash can, from where they can be recovered. This eliminates the need for annoying warnings when files are deleted.
The built-in image editor can trim, rotate, mirror and scale graphics in the browser. Videos and pages like YouTube and Google Video can now be easily embedded.
Besides this, the batch mode now lets up to 10 plug-ins to be refreshed, saving the user some click work. Existing Wordpress installations can be brought up to version 2.9 with the ''Tools Upgrade'' function.
Further details, along with a video presentation, can be found on the Project's blog page. Wordpress 2.9 can be downloaded under the GPLv2.

Wetzel says Clements' slaying hit home not just because they performed the same job in different states, but because they were personal friends.
Wetzel says the best way to honor his slain friend is "to keep doing the right thing.
Wetzel's remarks came a few hours before Colorado authorities arrested a suspect in the slaying of Clements, who was shot when he answered the door of his home last month.

7 Scary Truths About Getting Engaged
7 Scary Truths About Getting Engaged
The bling-bling ring and fine fiancé are divine. But there's a lot of surprising crap that comes with them (and no one warns you about it). Before you spaz, turn to our sanity-saving manual.
By Colleen Rush
Eric McNatt

Page 1 of 5
You have wedding bells chiming in your head and a prebridal buzz pumping through your veins. Once you are engaged, life is perfect. Right? Well, kinda. Of course you get giddy recounting how he popped the question and wagging your rock at everyone. But wait, maybe you don't always feel so fabulous. Maybe doubts and freak-outs are crashing your party, to the point where youre thinking,
Damn ... I'm not feeling like the world's most deliriously happy fiancée anymore.
Okay, don't panic. It's normal and even necessary to experience premarital minidramas, so the biggest mistake you could make at this point is not riding them out. All it takes is a little patience, savvy, and forethought to sail through to "I do." Here's how to navigate around these before-the-wedding bliss busters from your friends becoming jealous of the newly engaged you to arguing with your fiancé about money. This way you're more prepared (and excited) for your big day and thereafter.
You Start Noticing (and Cringing at) His Little Quirks
When you're simply dating, you don't pay much mind to his weird little idiosyncrasies, like his penchant for telling The World's Longest Story to your whip-smart friends, only to end with, "Uh, I forgot why I was telling that story." But when you're
to marrying the man, his minor flaws suddenly grow into major personality defects because you realize they'll be with you for life. "My fiancé sits up straight when he burps so he can get much better tone and volume," says Mary,* 29. "It never bothered me before, but now I imagine him doing that in front of our kids and I think,
He's my soul mate?
*Names have been changed.

It's been a tough road for the Delta, but high commodity prices are giving the region a healthy boost.
I recently saw Sykes Sturdivant in Greenwood, and asked him how the crop turned out. "Good," was his answer. I nearly fainted. After spending three decades around Delta planters, known for their poor-mouthing and pessimism, this may be a first. I insisted on video recording Sykes on my smart phone to ensure I didn't imagine this.
