We didn't resort to dirty play
The New England Patriots, faced with cheating referees and dirty play, stayed on the high ground and played with courage and honor, winning the game last night except for all the cheating.

Celtics almost won last night
The Boston Celtics almost won last night to go 3-0, but the referees obviously cheated, so they didn't win. However, they are undefeated on nights when the referees don't cheat.

Well, the answer is 98, and that is the number of posts in this blog. Therefore, I am just going to use the space today to answer a math question. Nothing more. You shouldn't read this because it is pretty inane.

I finished rebuilding the stairway on the front of the house, and will put a final coat of stain on it today. Then off to Larry Boxerman's house for a Yacht Club party. An easy day today, except I have to buy some food to bring.

St John School Approved -- The Source
This article was in The Source today. Nothing at all about www.stjohnvillarental.com, but this was published instead.
New St. John School Finally Approved
by Pamela Reid Bussard
Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Gov. John deJongh Jr. in February. (Source file photo.)
May 28, 2008 -- Drawing on unprecedented intra-governmental cooperation, Gov. John deJongh Jr. and U.S. Sen. John "Jay" Rockefeller IV announced plans Wednesday for a new school on St. John, which will end decades of ferry rides for the island's students.
"It is the right thing to do," Rockefeller said. "Maintaining the status quo was the wrong thing to do."
Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat who received the territory's Alexander Hamilton Award in February, said he lent his support to the initiative when he learned that St. John children had to take the ferry to go to Ivanna Eudora Kean High School on St. Thomas.
When the governor contacted Rockefeller about the issue, deJongh said, the senator's immediate response was "How can I help?" Rockefeller's family donated the land that launched the national park on St. John in the 1950s.
( Click for rest of article )
A D V E R T I S I N G :
Obstacles to the acquisition were considerable. Most of the land on St. John is under the purview of the National Park Service (NPS), and privately owned land is prohibitively expensive.
The land for the school was acquired in an unusual choreography between congressional offices, territorial and federal agencies and a non-profit organization.
First, the non-profit Trust for Public Lands purchased Alexander Hamilton's historic St. Croix home. The Trust then gifted the St. Croix property to the V.I. government, which in turn swapped that land for NPS land on St. John.
The initiative required support and cooperation between the Department of the Interior, the National Park Service, the territorial government, the St. Thomas/St. John school system, the Friends of the V.I. National Park, the Trust for Public Lands and the offices of Delegate Donna M. Christensen and Senators Rockefeller and Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican who also received an Alexander Hamilton Award in February.
The Trust for Public Lands is a national nonprofit organization that conserves land for parks and a number of other places for the public to enjoy. For more information about the Trust for Public Lands, click here.
Almost as an encore, Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne released $200,000 in grant money to the territory to conduct a feasibility analysis of the proposed school site at Estate Catherineberg.
This amount of government cooperation almost never happens, Rockefeller said. Describing the transaction as "win-win-win-win-win," he pointed out the attraction that the Hamilton property will have as a tourist destination.
"Alexander Hamilton is a mythological figure in the U.S.," Rockefeller said. "People don't know that he got his financial skills here. When NPS takes that over, it is going to change. So many more people are going to come to St. Croix."
The Hamilton site will increase NPS holdings on St. Croix by 10 percent, said Joel Tutein, park superintendent on St. Croix. The superintendent for the V.I. National Park on St. John also praised the plan.
"It is a great day to be superintendent," Mark Hargrove said.
Both Hargrove and Tutein expressed hopes that the new school will have an environmental educator and classes.

Maps of the territory - from the Source
The St. John Source had this information today about mapping the virgin islands. Nothing at all about www.stjohnvillarental.com or frankbayvillas.com, but maybe tomorrow.
New Maps Mean Greater Accuracy for Planners and First Responders
by Pamela Reid Bussard
May 9, 2008 -- New mapping information will help agencies throughout the V.I. government in planning management and emergency response.
A number of government agencies will be able to use the enhanced mapping capabilities, thanks to an agreement between the office of Lt. Gov. Gregory R. Francis and the Department of Planning and Natural Resources. A demonstration of the new technology at the lieutenant governor's invitation Wednesday brought together representatives of the Water and Power Authority, the Department of Public Works, Police, Fire, Emergency Management and Homeland Security.
The new mapping capabilities will allow people needing help to get it faster.
"It is challenging to give directions to first responders," said Shawna Richards, the lieutenant governor's communications director.
Teresa Anduze-Parris of the lieutenant governor's office offered some details of the meeting with the first-responder agencies.
"The demonstration started with a PowerPoint presentation and ended with a live demonstration of the actual digital imagery of St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John and Water Island," Anduze-Parris said. "The aerial photos have been added to the territorial geographic information system (GIS) management database."
While all agencies are using some form of mapping, this information is new data to improve government services. Now first responder agencies will have access to current aerial maps of the territory.
The data was acquired by a joint effort between Francis' office and the U.S. Geological Survey of Puerto Rico, Anduze-Parris said.
The sharing of this data results from a memorandum of agreement between DPNR and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor to share critical information relating to development planning and permitting in the territory, according to a news release. Both organizations will be able to transfer data such as cadastral and real property parcel records.
In addition to its first-responder uses, DPNR will be able to use the information to enhance its planning and resource-management functions.
"GIS technology will undoubtedly help our territory in the development of effective infrastructure planning, and the Department of Planning and Natural Resources is an integral part of that," Francis said, according to the release.
DPNR Commissioner Robert S. Mathes has lauded the data sharing as the "first step toward the tracking of development permitting in the territory, and ultimately the assessment of cumulative development impacts on the coastal zone."

The Red Sox won yesterday. They finally had a day off, poor lads, on Monday. Too much playing, too many countries, too much flu. They all deserve a visit to a vacation villa on st john usvi, which they can find by logging on to www.frankbayvillas.com, which is the authority on villa rentals.
Wow, it is raining now. I was hoping to blow some leaves away. Maybe M will be disappointed. Maybe she will just be happy to be home.

Patriots Third Pick
The Patriots picked another linebacker with their third pick. Someone named Crable, who is a big fast guy. He might be turned into a third down passrush specialist, or an occasional sub for the starters. Of course, immediately he will be on special teams. But in a couple of years, he and Mayo should be the starters. I hope Seau makes it another year. They they would have loads of depth.
Bruschi, Seau, Mayo in the middle.
Thomas, Vrabel, Crable on the outside.
And some guy they picked up as free agent.
A very strong position.

The Boston Celtics won last night, and I stayed up late and watched it. Amazingly, I was able to stay awake and then went to bed all by myself. M is in Ohio right now, unless she is in Pittsburgh. The next Celtics game is in a day or two, in Atlanta, and they should win it extremely easily, probably by 50 points or so.
And later, www.stjohnyachtclub.org will be available for them to look at. All about yacht clubs in the caribbean.

April 18, 2008 – While most environmentalists want offshore keys left alone, the presentation of the plans to develop Thatch Cay gave over 60 Coastal Zone Management hearing attendees a vision of development some said they could live with. More than 60 residents along with the CZM commissioners listened Thursday night to architect Robert deJongh’s two-hour presentation about the development. Testimony from the public at the CZM hearing held at the Department of Planning and Natural Resources office on St. Thomas ranged from cautiously receptive comments to outrage to character references for the developers. Some thought the developers had taken too much time to explain the project while not enough time was given to those testifying. But the tone of those testifying was mild compared to the vehement opposition vocalized at the recent Christmas Cove application hearings. (See Click for rest of article )
A D V E R T I S I N G : Dalma Simon, member of the Environmental Association of St Thomas, urged people to visit Thatch Cay, an offshore island close to Smith Bay and see for themselves. Simon said he was surprised when he saw the island. “It was nothing more than a rock," Simon said. He testified that the development “probably needs to be scaled back a bit.” Helen Gjessing, chairwoman of the Committee on Planning and Environmental Quality of the League of Women Voters of the Virgin Islands said the League dreaded reviewing the plan. "not merely because of the inevitable adverse environmental impacts the development will have, but because this proposal is simply one of several applications for the development of small islands off the coast.” Gjessing added, “This proposal may be the best that we can expect because we have to recognize that Thatch Cay LLC has selected a very well-qualified group of professionals.” Gjessing lamented that zoning law revisions hadn’t been made long ago to prevent offshore cays from being zoned in the same manner as plots on St. Thomas. Along with Simon, several testifiers also felt the density of the project should be further reduced. Some questioned the developer’s economic feasibility study, while lauding the developer's plans to propagate native plants for the project and finally recommended more details be provided from the developers about erosion mitigation. David Olsen, chief scientist for the St. Thomas Fishermen’s Association and former Director of the Division of Fish and Wildlife, attributed the audience’s generally measured reaction to the application’s thoroughness. In the last year, CZM has denied a couple of applications in part because there was insufficient consideration on the part of the developers of the consequences of their proposal, Olsen said. “The developers met with a wide variety of people – that is very unusual – this is almost the first time that I have seen this level of analysis," Olsen said. Developers’ efforts to reach community groups for input resulted in several modifications to development plans, according to deJongh. Slated to develop 11 percent of eligible land, the plan preserves much of the remainder for wildlife. Incorporating solar energy and other environmentally-friendly efforts will minimize impact on the area’s natural resources, deJongh said. Access to the island itself will be controlled, but, boaters will still be able to access the shoreline under the Open Shorelines Act. “Access to the shoreline is part of the heritage of the people of the Virgin Islands," said Alan Smith, attorney for the developers. However, the rest of the island is a private development and even those who own property there will have to inform and schedule arrival through Thatch Cay management. Schools and similar groups can make arrangement to visit the island through the island’s discovery center, Smith said. “These developers really did a planning job of a quality that we have not really seen before and the attendees saw for the first time the degree of planning that should be done." Olsen said. He hopes this application represents a standard to which that all major developments would be held. “It would be hard to deny this project.". CZM Chairman Austin Monsanto said that the commission would accept public comment for seven more days. Comments should be typewritten and sent to the office of the director of Coastal Zone Management. For more information contact the CZM at 340-774-3320.

No news at all in the world today, so I am not going to report anything. Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, Patriots, and Revolution made no news. St. John USVI was silent. I am going to put up a banner this morning and buy ice, and then have people over for dinner. Ho hum, a quiet day.

Incidentally, when you go to Coral Bay, you might as well visit Captain G. Piecost at his house near Villa Callaloo. He will be glad to talk to you about rental villas. Or a house or condo. But don't bring up anything negative about the Patriots or Red Sox or Bruins or Celtics or Revolution, or you're gonna get it.

Rolex Regatta News
Here is news about the Rolex Regatta, published in The Source today
St. Thomas Yacht Club Makes Final Preparations for Rolex Regattaby Pamela Reid Bussard
Geoffroy Stephane and Ronan Kermoal of St. Barths prep their Nacra F18. (Photo by Pamela Reid Bussard.) March 26, 2008 -- Finishing touches to the headquarters of the International Rolex Regatta headquarters were well in hand Wednesday at the St. Thomas Yacht Club, a couple days before the start of the three-day race. About 45 or 50 visiting boats were already in Cowpet Bay, also undergoing final preparations for the annual Rolex Regatta. The club is "really happy with turnout" with more than 85 boats registered, and is especially pleased with the IRC turnout of around 15 boats, said William Canfield, STYC manager. IRC is a new rating rule, but is more popular in Europe. Significant because "it is the first time that we have a totally IRC class in the Caribbean," Canfield said. He continued, "We think this will be a great invitation for other boats coming down in the future, as IRC is the most popular rating system in the world." The Presidente Cup and the BVI Spring Regatta will also offer the class, according to the official regatta website. "We hope other regattas throughout the Caribbean will adopt the IRC class in the future and will give the foreign boats an IRC series throughout the region," Canfield said. Regatta competitors have a one-stop-shop awaiting them at STYC. "That's the nice thing about this regatta: You've got everything at your fingertips," Canfield said. "Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, an ATM, music and food, cases of water and beer." Earlier this week, regatta officials were concerned that there might be a shortage of ice because a local ice producer closed. (See "Freeze Out: Economics Drives St. Thomas Dairies Out of Ice-Making Business.") Canfield phoned around to other island businesses, and the community came through with offers of assistance. The club is "using a lot of ice from Bumbles, Eugene Smith and St. John Ice -- they all grabbed what they could for us, and two of the companies brought ice containers over," Canfield said. He continued, "Coral World really came through for us big time." Preparations have gone well, he said. "All the buoys and marks are ready," Canfield said. "The liquor and beer are already being chilled, and we're raring to go to really have a great show this year." STYC has parties scheduled Thursday through Sunday from 2:30 to 11 p.m., where sailors will hear live music from such acts as the Headline Band and One Blood. Many boats and crews from the Rolex fleet will stay on until early next week, when they will make their way to Tortola for next week's BVI Spring Regatta.

Our Club Insignia – The Maltese Cross (see insignia above, info from Wikipedia)
The Maltese Cross is identified as the symbol of an order of Crustian warriors known as the Knights Hospitaller, or Knights of Malta. It was originally the symbol of Amalfi, a small Italian republic of the 11th century. The cross is eight-pointed and has the form of four "V"-shaped arms joined together at their bases, so that each arm has two points. Its design is based on crosses used since the First Crusade. The eight points are said to symbolize the chivalric virtues:
Loyalty
Piety
Frankness
Bravery
Glory and honour
Contempt of death
Helpfulness towards the poor and the sick
Respect for the church

St John Travel Forum Info
All About The St. John Travel Forum
The St. John Travel Forum was founded August 20, 2007, by a small group of people who know and love St. John, and who wish to share their knowledge with everyone. It is intended to be the internet's most complete collection of information about St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Inside you will find numerous articles about St. John. Topics include where to shop, water sports, boat charters, our beautiful beaches, the Virgin Islands National Park, weddings (officiants, jewelry, florists, even cakes), webcams, restaurants, activities, where to find just about anything.
You can get the ferry schedule, read a trip report, or see a photo gallery.
If you need to find churches, ATMs, books, newspapers, or the weather report, you can locate the information in the St. John USVI Travel Forum.
You can enter the 8 Tuff Miles Road Race from here. Or look at a live webcam of Foxy's Restaurant on Jost Van Dyke.
The restaurant section that we compiled is the most complete of any we have found on the Internet. Listed by location and price, with phone numbers and links to websites when available. We even list the places to get pizza. And as the Travel Forum gets more and more people registered and doing posts, you will have multiple restaurant reviews available at your fingertips.
The same is true of villa rentals. We are planning to have a complete list of available rental villas, organized by size and location. Cottages, small rental villas, large rental villas, Eco-tents, even Caneel and the Westin hotels. Multiple photos of each property, full descriptions, prices, and links to the availability calendars. You will be able to find the perfect villa for your next trip, and send an inquiry right from the Travel Forum. And there will be an ever-growing number of reviews, located in the same section as the villa descriptions, so you won't have to hunt all over internet for information.
Anyone can read any article at any time. No need to Register or Log In. Just go to the Topic that you are interested in and click on it.

Any posts which have content that the Forum Administration judges to be offensive, overly critical, or inappropriate in any way will be removed.
Our Webmaster is the world-famous Ultmast, who loves St. John, but is now in Costa Mesa, California, running the internet business of a multi-million dollar enterprise. In his spare time, he plays soccer and is on the United States Masters Ultimate Frisbee Team, going to the World Championships this coming December. Naturally, he is a Red Sox and Patriots fan, like his younger brother and father.
The website is professionally optimized, and just 45 days into its existence made the first page of almost all search engine results.
The Forum Administrator was hired on August 27, 2007, a 7-year St. John resident. Another Red Sox and Patriots fan. He lives in Upper Carolina, 600 feet above Coral Bay Harbor, and can look at the warm Caribbean any time all day from his little "office" in the woods. His beautiful wife gives him all the inspiration he needs.
The St. John Travel Forum was founded August 20, 2007, by a small group of people who know and love St. John, and who wish to share their knowledge with everyone. It is intended to be the internet's most complete collection of information about St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Inside you will find numerous articles about St. John. Topics include where to shop, water sports, boat charters, our beautiful beaches, the Virgin Islands National Park, weddings (officiants, jewelry, florists, even cakes), webcams, restaurants, activities, where to find just about anything.
You can get the ferry schedule, read a trip report, or see a photo gallery.
If you need to find churches, ATMs, books, newspapers, or the weather report, you can locate the information in the St. John USVI Travel Forum.
You can enter the 8 Tuff Miles Road Race from here. Or look at a live webcam of Foxy's Restaurant on Jost Van Dyke.
The restaurant section that we compiled is the most complete of any we have found on the Internet. Listed by location and price, with phone numbers and links to websites when available. We even list the places to get pizza. And as the Travel Forum gets more and more people registered and doing posts, you will have multiple restaurant reviews available at your fingertips.
The same is true of villa rentals. We are planning to have a complete list of available rental villas, organized by size and location. Cottages, small rental villas, large rental villas, Eco-tents, even Caneel and the Westin hotels. Multiple photos of each property, full descriptions, prices, and links to the availability calendars. You will be able to find the perfect villa for your next trip, and send an inquiry right from the Travel Forum. And there will be an ever-growing number of reviews, located in the same section as the villa descriptions, so you won't have to hunt all over internet for information.
Anyone can read any article at any time. No need to Register or Log In. Just go to the Topic that you are interested in and click on it.
If you want to post something, follow these easy directions. First, click on "Register" (top right of the Home Page). Check the box that says you are at least 13 years old. Then enter User Name, Email Address, Password, and Confirmation Code. There are some optional fields at the bottom of this screen that are informational only. Note: you need to register just once. After you have registered, you can then Log In and use all functions of the Travel Forum.
You can post information, questions, or replies anywhere. Click on a Category (example: Accommodations -- Get Information or Write A Review). Then click on a Forum (example: Large Rental Villas). To Post a Reply to an existing Topic, first click on that Topic to open it, then click on "Post Reply." To create a new Topic, click on "New Topic."
There are many different categories. Please try to find an appropriate place for any postings. If you are doing a restaurant review, for example, see if there already is a topic created for that restaurant. If so, then click on the topic to open it, and select "Post Reply." Otherwise, click on "New Topic."
If you have any difficulties with anything, send an email to stjohntravelinfo@aol.com. If you think something should be included that is not here, please send us an email. We will get back to you as soon as possible, hopefully within 1-2 business days.
The St. John Travel Forum is for people who have traveled to St. John, or who are planning a future trip. We hope that you will enjoy using it as much as we have enjoyed creating it. This is truly a beautiful little island, and we want you to come visit. Whether you come here once or many times, we know you will enjoy your experience, and we hope that the St. John Travel Forum will supply you with all the information you need.

St. John Information
St John Villa Rental USVI Pool Wedding Honeymoon Frank Bay
Frank Bay Villas -- Nature a Sure Lure for Visitors to St. John
This text is also in St. John Villa Rental. If the characteristic personality of each United States Virgin Island could be captured in a word, the flurry of activity, premier resorts and world-class shopping districts of St. Thomas would likely bring "energetic" to mind. Considering its rolling green hills dotted with centuries-old sugar mill ruins and the Danish-inspired architecture of its two towns, "historic" aptly describes a more quiet St. Croix. But what word best describes the 11,560 acres of largely undeveloped sparkling beaches, private lagoons, nature trails and lush foliage that both complement these two larger sister islands and complete this beautiful Caribbean trio? It is "serene," and that is the hallmark of the island of St. John.
Just a 45-minute boat ride from St. Thomas' Charlotte Amalie, this smallest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands was once a thriving agricultural society established in the early 1700s by Danish settlers attracted by the island's lucrative prospects of cultivating sugar cane. More than 100 cotton and sugar plantations flourished throughout all three U.S. Virgin Islands during the 18th and 19th centuries, but the emancipation of slaves in 1848 led to the plantations' eventual decline. What remain are the ruins of St. John's now-famous Annaberg Sugar Mill and other smaller plantations.
Once known for its sugar cane and farming industries, St. John today is recognized for its pristine beaches and conservation-minded residents who dedicate themselves to preserving the island's natural and cultural resources. Diminutive in size but not in natural splendor, this 19-square-mile island offers a glimpse of what life is like unfettered by commercial development and the trappings of a more modern lifestyle. Since philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller deeded two-thirds of the island - plus 5,000 offshore acres - to the federal government as national park land more than 40 years ago, St. John has retained a tranquil, unspoiled beauty that leaves visitors vowing to return for a longer stay.
For a vacationer with a mind to escape life's faster pace, there is snorkeling, scuba diving and sailing on St. John's calm, clear waters, and sunning on one lovely beach after the next. More than one-third of the national park land is underwater and home to brilliantly-hued coral reefs, plant life and tropical fish. Some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean is at Trunk Bay, where an underwater trail with submerged markers leads visitors on a fascinating journey amidst the island's colorful marine life.
Coming ashore to soak in what St. John most abundantly affords visitors - peace and quiet in the realm of gorgeous scenery - vacationers have 40 numerous beaches on which to spread their towels for an uninterrupted day in the sun. Beginning at the island's western end, three of St. John's most famous beaches are strung together, fringed with tropical palms and sea grape trees. Hawksnest, Trunk and Cinnamon Bay beaches are likely to be the most crowded of St. John's sunning spots, but only relatively-speaking, considering the privacy and seclusion offered by the island's countless other bays and cays.
Maho and Francis bays and Watelemon Cay are just a few more of the beaches encountered as visitors continue eastward along St. John's gently curving coastline. Powdered with sugary-white sand, the beach at Leinster Bay is a haven for those seeking the solace of a more private, sunny retreat. When not soaking up the sun's rays, vacationers can swim in the bay's shallow waters and snorkel in the company of an occasional turtle and stingray among spectacular, colorful coral.
Vacationers who don't take to the sea for recreation or spend day after day on the beach may instead choose to explore any of the 22 self-guided nature trails managed by the National Park Service. In sharp contrast to its white sand beaches, St. John's woodland trails wind through subtropical vegetation, keeping determined hikers occupied for miles - and hours - at a time. The three-mile Reef Bay Hike, offered by the National Park Service, leads nature enthusiasts past ancient Arawak Indian carvings called petroglyphs.
After touring the island on foot, visitors may also choose to wind their way along the island's scenic but narrow roads in a rented car or jeep, making sure to drive on the left as is the law in the USVI. Or, for those not interested in exploring the island on their own, two-hour safari bus tours, colorfully narrated by guides full of both West Indian folklore and first-hand knowledge of the island, take visitors to key observation points around the island.
After taking any one or all of these numerous forays into St. John's flora and fauna, visitors to the island still should save time to explore Cruz Bay, once a bustling port serving the sugar and rum industries and now home to most of the island's residents. Here, visitors won't find fast-food chains, discos or movie theaters; rather, an eclectic mix of interesting boutiques, art galleries, bars and fine restaurants populate what's considered the island's social and business center. Just north of Cruz Bay, vacationers will find one of the prettiest shopping areas in the Caribbean, Mongoose Junction. Cruz Bay is also home to Wharfside Village, another shopping area in town located right on the beach. Both Mongoose Junction and Wharfside Village offer everything from funky local crafts and fashions to elegant jewels and exotic imports.
Valued by many for the slower pace it affords its visitors, St. John has everything to offer in terms of rest, relaxation and recreation. Whether coming to this tiny island for sunning, snorkeling, or even shopping, vacationers will find ample opportunities to enjoy all three and more on St. John.

Patriots Win Again
The greatest team ever, the Patriots of 2007, were found to be the winners of the super bowl, as the giants were penalized retroactively for being stupid and ugly, and cheating (at least 5 obvious holding penalties) on the ridiculous cheating play that the referees ignored near the end of the game. 19-0. The best thing is, it will happen again in 2008. 19-0.
