When you hear that someone is a certified nurse midwife (CNM), what comes to your mind? For many people, they think that CNMs only see pregnant women and deliver their babies in the patient's home without the use of pain medication. While this is true, CNMs have a very broad scope of practice that many people are unaware of. While CNMs do provide labor and birth care, prenatal and postnatal care, and breastfeeding support, CNMs also provide services for contraception, annual wellness exams and menopause. Some CNMs practice in-home deliveries while other practice in a hospital setting. CNMs have a bachelor of science in nursing degree and a master of science in nursing. After schooling is complete, CNMs are required to pass and obtain certification from the American Midwifery Certification Board. CNMs can also prescribe medications.
There are many things that make a CNM different than a medical doctor (MD). CNMs are experts in low risk pregnancies. CNMS take their time with patients to really get to know them. CNMs like to educate patients and really find out what they want out of their health care experience, whether that is for pregnancy or another stage in their life. When it comes to pregnancy, we offer very individualistic care. Not everyone is going to have the same birth experience but we want to make it the best experience for the woman. We work with women throughout their pregnancy to create a birth plan suited to their needs. Another thing that makes CNMs different from MDs is the amount of time we spend with women while they are in labor. As soon as a woman is admitted to the hospital and are uncomfortable, CNMs like to be at their bedside providing continuous labor support. CNMs honor normalcy and like to avoid interventions during labor if possible. We encourage the labor process to happen naturally. While we support women who don't want any pain medication or interventions, we also support a woman's decision for wanting something for pain relief. What's most important to CNMs is that the woman is happy with how her labor and birth process went.
CNMs are independent providers but we also collaborate with MDs. There is always an MD on call to back us up in the case of an emergency or even just a simple question that we want a second opinion on. There are some situations that a woman who has been seeing a CNM does need to transfer care to a MD. This would include: twin or multiple gestation and the use of insulin to manage diabetes, to name a few. In the event that a woman needs delivery via a cesarean section, an MD is brought in as the primary surgeon while CNMs are able to assist during the surgery.
What I enjoy about my job is that I am able to care for women across the lifespan. I enjoy getting to know women and see them transition through the different stages of their lives. Being a part of the birth of a child is a life-changing moment for women and their significant others. It's a moment that many parents will never forget, and knowing that I was a part of that experience is so rewarding. Unfortunately there are some sad experiences that CNMs have to handle, but being able to be by a woman's side throughout everything, whether happy or sad means a lot to patients and their families. Even though I may have many sleepless nights while I am at the hospital by a woman's side, I wouldn't change anything. Being a midwife is so rewarding; I consider it a privilege to be by a woman's side not only through the labor and birth process but throughout her entire health care experience across the lifespan.
We've all heard the above phrase before. If not verbatim, in some fashion. It's the belief that every single day, each moment, there's the potential for a fresh start.
When I think of that in the terms of our seasons, spring is the sure winner in the race to encompass this thought. The weather, especially in Northeast Wisconsin, shifts things. And not just in the form of growing grass, blooming flowers and rainy days — although it's hard to beat!
We seem to awaken too.
There's a renewed sense of life that surrounds the first days of spring that make them so sweet. Winters are often long, dark and draining, and we yearn for the warmth and fresh start that spring brings. It's a dream realized.
Kaldas Center for Fertility, Surgery, & Pregnancy, S.C. isn't a stranger to the concept of struggle and seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, they are that light. They're featured on page 34 and provide precisely what is quintessentially March: a hopeful, bright and fresh start for so many.
Happy spring!
When it comes to someone's dream — an aspiration; goal; aim — there's usually a whimsical aspect, something that makes it so significant and worth wishing for that it's catapulted into a category of its own. When it is said to come true, it can also symbolize that it wasn't easy. Trials and tribulations sometimes make the actualization of those desires even sweeter.
Motherhood is one of those dreams.
Kaldas Center for Fertility, Surgery & Pregnancy, S.C. knows this all too well. Founded by Dr. Rami Kaldas, the area clinic is world-renowned for its compassionate and well-versed staff in all avenues of women's care.
He along with provider, Dr. Donald Menya, are known for their unique approach when it comes to traditional women's health. There's nothing customary about their treatment philosophies or their drive to go above and beyond for their patients, who are naturally considered a part of the family.
"It is one hundred percent about the whole person," Dr. Kaldas explains. "At the Kaldas Center, we wed medical knowledge, the individual, seeing the person as a whole and a hefty dose of a lot of common sense. We've got to know how a person's symptoms fit into their life."
When their lives include symptoms like pain, discomfort and the interruption of everyday tasks — not to mention the inability to get pregnant — Kaldas Center is determined to relieve and give new and lasting hope to help put dreams in reach.
It's a passion, a spark that's in the air at the Kaldas Center that is undeniable whether you're currently struggling or have seen the light.
"I have so many favorite parts of my day because I have such an incredible team here," Dr. Kaldas says. "But it's when the shingles fall from people's eyes, it's that 'I once was blind but now I see' element that I love."
When it comes to a woman's path to motherhood, no journey is exactly alike. In the same vein, each woman and their body is unique, but among those struggling to get pregnant, Dr. Kaldas declares that their infertility is likely due to the same, sole condition.
"If someone has not become pregnant in over a year and everything else — the husband or boyfriend being checked, the other labs — is fine, I truly believe that it is endometriosis unless proven otherwise."
The chronic condition affects one in 10 women. Dr. Kaldas simply describes endometriosis as "uterine lining gone bad, wreaking havoc outside the uterus," and attributes it to being the cause of more than half of all infertility cases. Cells that normally grow inside the uterus grow outside of it, resulting in the body's immune response blocking pregnancy from occurring. This creates inflammation, scarring and pain.
The Kaldas Center is the no. 1 clinic in Wisconsin to excise endometriosis using a laser, removing the problem all together rather than removing surface tissue one visit at a time. They are the experts in this technique.
"(Education) has become a mission and a gospel because we've seen so much nonsense. And on top of that, fertility cycles and medication are expensive. We want people to find us sooner rather than later because they go through so much."
Created in an effort to educate women about the diagnosis, how it affects fertility and quality of life, and what can be done to help, Endometriosis Awareness Month every March is the perfect opportunity to discover and learn about the disease, as well as show support to those living with the diagnosis.
"We would not do what we do if we did not love life, love our patients and love to make their dreams a reality. It is not a job we are doing. It is a calling."
—Dr. Rami Kaldas
Dr. Kaldas sees not only multiple cases of endometriosis on a regular basis, but the women who are living with it every day. One of his most admirable approaches — seeing, hearing and believing in his patients as individuals — allows him to help educate others about what they're going through. In his words, here are six things women with endometriosis want you to know and ways to support them.
1. It's not all in their head. When women complain they have pain that's amplified during her period it's easy to assume they're overreacting or making up their pain. That's very false.
2. They can't "just relax." If a woman is experiencing pain, it's a concern. However, if the pain is associated with her period then she is told she just needs to relax. Unfortunately, relaxing isn't a cure for endometriosis. Don't tell your friend or family member to relax — ask them if there's anything you can do and offer your support.
3. Not all endometriosis pain is the same. Not all cases of endometriosis are the same. It truly varies from patient to patient. Never assume that someone with endometriosis can just take medication or have a surgery. It might not be the best option for everyone.
4. Killer cramps are not normal. Yes, many women experience cramps during their periods. Menstrual cramps are a common symptom. However, if her cramps and menstrual pain are affecting her everyday life – that's not OK. Something is wrong and she deserves support and compassion until she finds comfort through a treatment that works for her.
5. There is no cure. Endometriosis can be managed with medication and therapy; however, we know the best way to relieve pain and give people their life back is to excise the endometriosis. We are experts at excising endometriosis.
6. They don't want your pity. If you learn your friend or family member has endometriosis, don't give them pity. Offer them support. Say "I'm here for you" and offer to listen. Respect that they might need to rearrange plans or need extra support.
"Traditional women's care is missing something. It's missing the "i" in "patient." Care focused on the woman is the only care that will truly work. Every patient is different. Life experiences can change treatment options. One solution does not fit all, and we adapt to the needs of our patients."
—Dr. Rami Kaldas
Symptoms include:
"Dreams can come true," Dr. Kaldas says. "We have dream jobs, and with insight, patience, perseverance and skill, we will help our patients dream the impossible dream."
Dr. Kaldas recognizes that the Kaldas Center's ability to treat endometriosis efficiently comes from their technology and commitment to their art. Helping spread that message to those who need it is what it's all about for them.
The Kaldas Center is located near the Appleton International Airport and just south of the Fox River Mall, conveniently between College Ave and Prospect. This ideal location offers easy access for clients traveling from in and out of state while the warm and welcoming space provides comfort and privacy in a quiet setting.

We live in an area where having a great looking lawn has its challenges. The seasons are awesome, and in Wisconsin, we see our fair share of each of them. With spring just around the corner, our thoughts turn toward spending more time outdoors in nature. Much of that outdoor time is spent in your yard. We work out there, grow our gardens, play with our children or grandchildren, heck we even eat out there. Your lawn makes up the majority of your property in most cases. We all want that lawn to look great, thick and green, but what about weeds? Weeds are considered a nuisance and usually not welcome in our lawn. This is where I like to pose a question to those weed haters out there. "If you got to choose a dandelion-free lawn this year, but there is a pretty good chance walking across the lawn could cause you or your family to develop cancer, would you take it?" That's easy, the answer is no, right? Yet, many who answer no will still use a chemical lawn service, or worse yet, put chemicals onto themselves! This year, take steps in creating a healthy yard. It is not as tough as you think, and not as expensive.
The reason I started my organic approach to lawn care is named Grayson. My son was diagnosed with autism at an early age. According to Autism Speaks, "a new study finds increased rates of autism among the children of women who lived close to pesticide-treated fields during pregnancy. The association was strongest when the exposures occurred during the second and third trimesters."
One thing people always ask us is, "Why are organics so expensive?" That is a good question, because they really shouldn't be. Sure, you do need to apply more fertilizer to reach an adequate amount of nitrogen. Nitrogen is basically what keeps lawns healthy and green. Chemical companies can reach insane percentages of nitrogen with ease, but we really can't. We also wouldn't want to! Artificially increasing nitrogen rates can cause the grass to grow too fast, making it very susceptible to disease and insect infestation. Once your lawn starts to show these ill effects, the chemical guys will call up again with another high dose of dangerous chemicals to treat the problem they caused. This means you will end up spending more money in the long run on using chemicals. The real "cost" is the lives these chemicals end and the illnesses that can and will occur. Did you know your dog is five times more likely to get cancer if you use chemicals on your lawn? According to www.whygoodnature.com.
Listen, organics take time. We feed your lawn and treat your soil naturally. By adding seed in the spring, we can thicken your lawn over time. The environment will take care of the rest. Your lawn is its own eco-system. Certain insects take care of other insects naturally. Disturbing that process by killing everything that moves is not the answer. By the way, you know what else moves across your lawn? You do, your kids do and even your dog!
Organic lawn care is not only better for the environment, but it's better for your kids, it's better for your pets and over the long term, it's better for Wisconsin! You need to create a sustainable lawn, and that is not achievable with chemicals. Chemicals do nothing to thicken your turf, so when you stop using them Mother Nature will fill those bare spots with weeds!
Organic fertilizers work with nature feeding and building the soil — not against it like synthetic fertilizers. Over time, you'll find that your soil and lawn become healthier.
The plans that the chemical lawn companies use is pretty much all the same. They do not take soil samples to find the root cause of the problems. They may say they have a customized plan, but it's simply not true. Face it, what's on the back of their trucks is going on your lawn, your neighbor's lawn and even the lawns fifty miles away. They purposely do not try to thicken your lawn because a thick lawn has less weeds, and they are in the business of killing weeds. That's it.

I first became enthused with nutrition and alternative medicine in 1972 when I listened daily to Adelle Davis on our local KFIZ radio station. Few know of her legacy today; however, she was the most famous nutritionist of the postwar decades. Adelle helped to shape Americans' eating habits and their child-feeding practices. Her book, "Let's Have Healthy Children" influenced my life and changed my eating habits as I was in my first trimester of my second pregnancy.
The closest option to shop natural foods and supplements was the Kitchen Korner Shoppe in Oshkosh where I spent my entire grocery allowance. In 1980 I took a job at GNC but continued to shop in Oshkosh. After two years of corporate baloney, I managed to start my own business with the intent and mission "to provide quality food at affordable prices." Sun Valley Natural foods opened its doors April 4, 1982 on the corner of Arndt and Main Street. In 1984 the business name was changed to Village Market Specialty Foods and was relocated in the Cobblestone Square on South Main. Finding a better exposed location in 1987 on the corner of Johnson and Seymour, I grew the business for five years before relocating to 39 W Scott Street in 1993.
In 2000 I received a call urging me to purchase the Kitchen Korner Shoppe in Oshkosh because the owner was retiring. Seven years later — after two name changes and relocating — I sold my second store to an employee who now owns five health stores in Wisconsin. My big move came in 2010, moving the Village Market from a traditional 1,500 square foot store to over 8,000 square foot store to my current location: 806 S Main Street.
I experienced the era of Prevention Magazine, exercising with Jack LaLanne and the discovery of beneficial potent antioxidants along with many other super foods and nutrients. Looking back at my growth, it was around 1990 when oat bran became a popular choice for lowering high cholesterol. For the first time people were aware of their cholesterol numbers. The public demanded more healthy food options and manufacturers responded. The media took off educating the public and people soon had access to the internet.
Whew, I weathered the storms and am finally in a location where I can grow and offer even more to my customer base. We now have a monthly newsletter and a newly remodeled space for workshops and classes. I look back and see I was a bit ahead of my time in Fond du Lac, and find it gratifying to have gone from one employee in 1982 to over 22 employees. We have also grown to offer a variety of inventory built on customer demand and an explosion of health trends. My department managers have access to order from over 200 suppliers, including local vendors, keeping our inventory specialized, continuously updated, and allows us to offer unique and affordable products.
We offer probiotics, immune and nutritional support, natural body care items, essential oils, local and exclusively certified organic produce, local maple syrup, and honey. We cater to all types of diets including paleo, gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, organic, fair trade and more. My kitchen staff is creative and listens to our customers providing Grab N' Go foods including salads, sandwiches, bakery items, smoothies and hot soup all made with quality ingredients.
Village Market Specialty Foods provisions a diversity of beneficial fare to meet the diverse needs of the community plus so much more!

"Our deep respect for the land and its harvest is the legacy of generations of farmers who put food on our tables,preserved our landscape and inspired us with a powerful work ethic." —James H. Douglas, Jr.
Another month has gone by and we are getting closer to the day when the Wisconsin growing season will begin. Soon the days will be staying lighter longer and we will be spending more and more time outside breathing in the fresh air. It is also time to start thinking about food — and by that we mean fresh, locally sourced food from our hard working farmers! Last year Nature's Pathways ran a series promoting Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). According to the FairShare CSA Coalition based in Madison, "(Community Supported Agriculture) is a partnership between farms and consumers that keeps independent businesses thriving, helps families eat seasonal, local produce, and charges farmers and consumers with the responsibility of building a strong, equitable food system."
When you eat from your CSA box that means you will be eating food that is in season, at its nutritional peak. It is also one of the best ways to step outside your comfort zone and try new foods. Let's face it, even when you go to the local farmers market you will automatically gravitate to purchasing the items you are familiar with. Your CSA box is one of the best ways to get out of that same old rut and try new foods. You will have to dust off that cookbook, check out recipe sites online, or better yet, talk to the farmer who gave you that funny looking, bumpy squash to learn how to prepare it. Only then will you find out how amazingly sweet it is and if you like it better with butter and cinnamon, or salt and pepper. You will be amazed at how many new foods you and your family will come to love!
One of the other benefits we often forget about is that when you have fresh food in the house you have to figure out how to cook it and that means preparing more meals at home. You won't be reaching for the high fructose corn syrup or the benzoic acid or sodium benzoate to sprinkle in your dish. Chemicals typically found in commercial foods to maintain a long shelf life contain more harmful chemicals than we ever thought possible.
We would like to you carefully consider the food choices you make for you and your family and strive to give them the most nutrient dense and freshest food available, which will mean locally sourced food. And remember, fresh food tastes better!

Most of us have probably heard of the term "wellness." What does it really mean? Wellness can be defined as an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence. Wellness includes so much more than just eating nutritious foods and exercising. Wellness uses a holistic approach and is a constant balancing act throughout life. There are seven dimensions that encompass wellness. When all seven of these dimensions are in balance, we arrive at our optimum wellness. However, it takes some time to understand these dimensions. They include emotional, occupational, physical, spiritual, intellectual, social and environmental.
Emotional: Realizing your limitations, dealing effectively with stress, accepting the wide range of emotions in yourself and those around you, expressing and managing feelings throughout the challenges of life, and being optimistic rather than pessimistic. Having a good work/life balance. Enjoying life. Accepting mistakes and learning from them.
Occupational: Choosing a career that is rewarding and allows us to grow. Choosing meaningful work that allows us to use our gifts and talents to benefit those around us. Feeling as though you are doing what you are meant to do can deepen your sense of purpose.
Physical: Realizing the importance of regular physical activity and eating nutritious foods. Avoiding drugs and alcohol, regular visits to the doctor, and knowing your body's warning signs when something is wrong. Appreciating the connection between eating well and staying active, and how it makes us feel good. Increased self-esteem and confidence are the benefits of taking care of ourselves.
Spiritual: Understanding the purpose of our existence. On the path to understanding our spirituality, we will find that our actions go hand in hand with our beliefs and values. Becoming open minded and tolerant of the beliefs of others. Staying true to ourselves. Practicing mindfulness by living in the present and not obsessing over things in the past or future.
Intellectual: Always being open to learning more and building our skills so we are constantly growing. Reading books about personal interests. Keeping up to date on what is going on around us. Spending time with people who we learn from. Taking care of problems with the information that is available to us in a timely manner, rather than wait and worry.
Social: Contributing to the community around us. Surrounding ourselves with positive people. Building strong relationships with others throughout our lives. Spending quality time with family and friends. Appreciating people from other backgrounds and cultures.
Environmental: Doing our part to make a positive impact on the environment, starting with ourselves and our homes. Having an appreciation of nature and its preservation. Volunteering time to help clean up the environment. Being aware of our surroundings and the limitations of the Earth's natural resources. Living in harmony with the Earth.
One of the best ways to experience almost all seven dimensions of wellness at once is to volunteer your time to a good cause. There are social, physical, spiritual, emotional and environmental aspects to this experience. Giving of your time to help others can be extremely purposeful on the journey to wellness. Visit the Volunteer Center's website, voluteercenter.net, to find a volunteer opportunity that fits your needs.
Being well is all about the prevention of disease, rather than treating it after it happens. By understanding and applying the seven dimensions of wellness, we can live healthier, more balanced lives.

Health insurance planning in retirement begins for many of us as we approach age 65. This is also true if we want to keep working.
At age 65, we are entitled to Medicare, a government sponsored health insurance program that has been around since July 1, 1966. Medicare Part A Hospital insurance, and Medicare Part B Medical insurance can offer you better benefits at lower cost.
Your decision to enroll into Medicare at 65 is separate from electing your Social Security benefits. For example, you can get Medicare at age 65 and continue to work without electing Social Security benefits.
You can enroll into Medicare Parts A and B three months before your 65th birthdate month and your coverage would begin the first of the month you turn 65.
If you or your spouse worked and paid into Social Security and Medicare for 40 quarters, or 10 years, the Medicare Part A Hospital insurance cost has always been zero or no cost. The cost or premium for Medicare Part B Medical insurance has increased from $3 per month in 1966 to the current cost of $134/month. Your Part B premium can cost $187.50 to $428 if you are a higher income earner (>$85,000 single or >$170,000 couple) under Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount. Since 2011, the IRMAA requires higher income earners to pay higher monthly premiums for Medicare Parts B and D.
In 2006, Medicare added Part D for prescription drug coverage. Part D plans are supported by the government, but purchased from private insurance companies. Part D premiums start at about $20 per month in 2018. The Part D IRMAA adds $13.30 to $74.80 to your monthly Part D premium.
Medicare offers you great coverage with many options and protections. With your enrollment into Part A and B, you also have an option to buy a Medicare Part C plan. These private plans, also known as "Choice" or "Advantage" plans, are government contracted to provide you your Part A and B benefits. Many Part C plans also include Part D for drug coverage along with extra benefits to keep you well. These plans begin at no extra cost or premium over your Part B monthly premium.
Another option is a Part C Medicare Medical Savings Account plan. These plans follow the same concept of HSA plans. Any balance left in your MSA savings rolls over each year.
If your employer group medical plan costs you more than $134/month, you would want to take a look at your Medicare options to see if you can get better coverage at lower cost from your new entitled Medicare benefits at age 65.
There is transformation going on that is picking up speed! A variety of spiritual schools of thought, and now science as well, have been using a range of methods to make the shift from living in the brain to residing in the heart. These methods include meditation, yoga, breath work, nutrition, movement, connecting with the Earth, and our Higher Self — to name a few. Much of our modern society, however, approximately 2,000 years ago, left the realm of the heart and had given credence and value only to the brain. Looking for answers, guidance and connection here has proven to be incomplete. We are now being called to come back to the wisdom and guidance of our hearts. Cause for celebration!
The power of the heart is stunning! "The Institute of HeartMath was the first in the world to discover that the heart produces the largest energy field coming from the human body." It has two torus shaped energy fields/vibrations, one inside the other. This magnetic field has been found to measure around 8-10 feet in diameter and is "believed to be generated by the sacred space of the heart." Our heart holds wisdom, memories, dreams, love and intuition. Experiences of love, self-compassion, acceptance, joy and forgiveness raise our vibrational field. This affects how we experience our life and it also affects others around us.
According to numerous mystics, masters, saints and spiritual leaders coming back to our "original language," the language of the heart, requires us to connect with Mother Earth, Sky, our Higher Self and Great Spirit/God. Without this, our heart space will feel untouchable. It is a profound reconnection on many levels!
Daniel Mitel discovered The Heart Imagery method: A. Get in a comfortable position with your eyes closed, B. Take three breaths in and out, imagining all your troubles floating away, C. Imagine your body is a house, with your brain being the attic. Travel down flights of stairs to your heart space. You will find a door there. Go through it and close the door behind you, D. See, sense, feel the love and power coming from your heart, E. Be with this, connect, listen. Listening takes you to a place of knowing, closeness; to self and others.
Sonia Choquette, author of "Traveling at the Speed of Love," says that even though we are all traveling through life together we each get to choose our own way and speed of traveling. She strongly encourages us to choose traveling at the speed of love. She also emphasizes that love lifts everything above the vibration of fear.
Reiki, meaning life force, is another helpful ancient energy technique that supports the journey to your heart. Our body has an energetic/spiritual system with energy centers, chakras, which are connected to various multidimensional functions. In regard to coming back home to our hearts, the third and sixth chakra are key centers. The third chakra is the heart chakra, unconditional love. The sixth chakra is the third eye, our intuition.

The value of a solar electric system is in the eye of the buyer. Some buyers are most interested in the environmental benefits of solar. Others place the highest value on the energy security of solar. Certainly, both of these bring value to the solar electric system owner. But in many cases, the homeowner will place the financial benefits at a par, or above the former. As with other purchases, a cash purchase will perform better financially than a transaction that is financed. However, there can be a lot to be said for smart financing. It all depends on your financial situation and your values.
In the solar financing market, there are more creative opportunities for commercial installations. Here are just a couple examples.
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)
PACE is an innovative program that enables commercial property owners to obtain low-cost, long-term loans for energy efficiency, renewable (solar) energy and water conservation improvements. Projects financed using PACE can generate positive cash flow upon completion with no up-front, out-of-pocket cost to property owners. The term of a PACE Financing for solar may extend up to 30 years.
PACE Financing allows the commercial property owner to take advantage of the 30 percent Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), Accelerated Depreciation (MACRS), as well as any available Focus on Energy grants.
As of 2/1/18, there are 27 Wisconsin Counties that have approved PACE Financing, including Outagamie, Winnebago, Brown, Waupaca and Portage. For more information, go to www.pacewi.org.
Tax equity financing
For businesses that are unable to realize the 30 percent ITC or MACRS (such as tax-exempt organizations, nonprofit organizations or businesses that have little or unpredictable tax liability) there is another financing tool that brings much of that value back to the organization. It is frequently referred to as tax equity financing. Here in Wisconsin, Legacy Solar Cooperative of Madison is one of several organizations that works with tax equity financing.
A typical model is comprised of "special purpose LLC," which is made up of a tax sponsor, a system host and a financier. The tax sponsor is a person or organization with ample tax liability to be able to take advantage of all the tax benefits of the solar project and puts up 40 percent of the project cost. The host is the owner of the facility that the solar system is connected to and realizes the value of the solar generated electricity. The 60 percent balance is financed and repaid over a six-year period. See www.legacysolarcoop.org for more.
It seems like everyone knows that in California, leasing solar electric systems is very popular. However, in Wisconsin, the leasing of solar is technically not allowed under current regulatory statute.
So in Wisconsin, home equity lines of credit (HELOC) have been the best way to finance solar systems on homes. There are other "un-secured" financing options, but for those with available home equity, this is the most popular way to finance. Here is the financial performance on a HELOC for a $15,000 solar electric system, assuming:
Solar Generated Energy (kWh)
WeEnergies Electric Rate ($/kWh)
Annual Solar Energy Value
10-year HELOC annual payment
Focus on Energy Incentive
30 percent Federal Tax Credit
Cumulative Cash Flow
Over the 120-month loan, this investment costs $3,218 or $26.82/month. Would you pay an additional $26.82/month for a solar electric system?
While cash is king, financing solar can be a wise path to a cleaner and more secure energy future. Yes, solar can be a wise investment, even when you borrow capital.

be quiet! Pure Rock CPU Cooler Review
Test System Setup
I would first like to thank ASUS, InWin, Patriot and Fractal Design for supplying products for me to test with.
To see our testing methodology and to find out what goes into making our charts, please refer to our CPU Cooler Testing and Methodology article for that information.
Thermal Results
As we allowed the system to idle, we saw a temperature of 27.25 degrees, which is right on the average for most air coolers. When we loaded the system at stock clocks, we found the Pure Rock delivered us a 54 degree result. This is still hugely better than the stock cooler, and for its cost in comparison, the top of the list is only some 10 degrees better for maybe ten times the investment in some cases.
Moving to the overclocked settings, we were now seeing an idle temperature of 29.75 degrees, and as we applied the load, the temperature climbed a bit. This left us with a 75.42 degree average, and while not tremendous against the list of coolers here, for a 130W TDP cooler, it will handle anything that the intended market for this cooler can throw at it.
Noise Level Results
With only 7.5V applied to the fan, we saw a maximum speed at this point of 1150 RPM. At this speed, our meter was reporting a minimal 26 dB of noise from a foot away.
What we like even more, is that even allowing the fan to do its worst when it comes to noise pollution in the room, all this fan could muster was 38dB, and our fan was reportedly running at 1715 RPM; slightly over spec.

When Metro Transit unveiled its draft plan for Metro Reimagined a few weeks ago, we knew it would be a popular topic for current MetroBus riders, regional stakeholders and transit enthusiasts.
We're receiving valuable feedback regarding the draft plan via our Customer Service team, on social media and at various informational meetings around town. A lot of you have questions about the proposal, so we've gone ahead and answered a few of the most common questions we've been hearing from you.
A: Metro Reimagined is an in-depth study of the Metro Transit system. Using research along with feedback from you, we've developed a draft of a new transit service plan that's designed to provide new and existing customers with faster service, shorter wait times, and more reliable connections.
A: We need to adapt so we can provide you with services that meet your travel needs. In recent years, MetroBus ridership has been on the decline for the past several years, as is the case for most transit agencies across the country. While there are always a variety of factors that can impact this number, one thing is clear: the Metro Transit system, as it is today, could work better for the St. Louis region.
A: The draft plan will increase frequency to the 12 most-popular MetroBus routes (these routes accommodate more than half of today's MetroBus ridership in Missouri) so that they would arrive at bus stops every 15 minutes or better. Most other MetroBus routes would be upgraded to 30-minute frequency. The draft plan also provides faster, more direct trips and new transit technology options.
In addition, for the areas in the region where a 40-foot bus isn't the best way to move riders, we are looking at new options to provide better service – options like smaller vehicles, shuttles or on-demand services.
A: The enhancements from Metro Reimagined will be supported using Metro Transit's existing operating budget.
A: Metro Transit will continue to serve all areas of the St. Louis region – but the system will look different under the proposed plan. We are working hard to minimize the impact of these changes, but you may need to make adjustments to your commute.
However, with these changes, you will have a faster, more reliable transit system with more frequent service than you enjoy today. And for the majority of riders, your current commute should take less time overall under the proposed plan than it does now.
A: The draft plan includes shorter wait times at bus stops, and coordinated connections between buses and trains. This means we can deliver you to destinations faster and safer. Metro will also introduce new technology to help you feel safer and more secure while on the system. For example, riders can now sign up for SafeTrek, a mobile personal safety app that notifies law enforcement of emergencies at the touch of a button. In addition, we will be launching a new text messaging service that riders can use to contact Metro Public Safety.
Our law enforcement partners have also increased their patrols and presence on the Metro system, and efforts are underway to have St. Clair County Sheriffs begin patrolling areas on the Missouri side of the river.
A: We'll be accepting public comments until May 4, and then incorporate changes to finalize the plan, which we will share this summer. We anticipate rolling out service improvements and network changes in phases from 2018 to 2021. While most of the planned changes will not occur until 2019 at the earliest, some shorter-term implementation activities could include: conducting demonstration projects of new service types, introducing new technology and customer amenities, as well as new vehicles to our fleet; beginning to make adjustments to some bus routes.
There are several ways you can share your thoughts and comments about the draft service plan.
Minimize the impact? By eliminating my way to work and the grocery store? My two routes #80 and #14 are slated to be killed. The #80 is my way to work – the BJC campus where tons of people ride public transit to get to and you're taking away transportation from the neighborhoods folks moved to to be close to work????? This is a load of crap!!!
I too rely on the #80 bus as I work next door to Missouri School for the Blind.
Please do not cut the #80
I am confused I was finally able to access the map today and I live in the Olive West of 270 Corridor. The main bus we use is the Olive and it looked like you are taking out a big chunk of that route and replacing it with community point to point service. We depend on this route to go Chesterfield shopping via Olive bus at Chesterfield Mall and then transferring to the 258 to go out to Chesterfield Commons. We lost our Olive bus before and it was a nightmare for us. We are both legally blind. Add to that the fact that if you cut out fixed route and we are no longer within a 3/4 of a mile of a fixed route stop on either end we would no longer qualify for Call A Ride ADA services. We fought for a long time to get out to the Premium outlets and when we could get a trip it was $8 to $12 each way not the ADA fare. When service was cut several years back we lost our bus service and we were right at the 3/4 of a mile point so were able to continue call a ride service. It could have easily cost us our jobs. There are many people who are blind and disabled in this part of the county as well as far north and south counties who rely on public transit. Many have jobs in Chesterfield Valley and to be quite honest they are building a new Barnes West County hospital and several new medical buildings out here which will require transit particularly as traffic increases. There is life outside the 270 loop and at present due to increased crime on metro we seldom go east anymore. Can you give me a clearer idea about how far out the Olive bus will travel in case I am reading this wrong. Also if you are cutting fixed rout out in the valley?
What do you see as the best way to get to the Botanical Garden without the 14 or the 80? During the special events and the Jazz Festival the direct routes are really the best way to get there.
What will be replacing the Green Line?

Shanghai, Jiading Riverfront
HYHW Architects
Download PDF version[1.92Mb]
"We realised Space Syntax were light years ahead of everybody else. This scheme will last for 200 years. We needed the best and the best is what we've got."
The opportunity
Beijing-based HYHW Architects were invited to join a design competition for the creation of a regional masterplan in the Jiading district to the north-west of Shanghai. The large site is located between Jiading City, Nanxiang City and Anting City. The connections between the three cities are currently constrained by a vehicle traffic-oriented infrastructure, disconnected street network and a poor quality public realm. Space Syntax was appointed to undertake analysis to provide the team with an understanding of the opportunities and constraints of the site and to assist in developing strategic design proposals.
Our contribution
Using in-depth case study analyses of large urban conurbations such as Barcelona and London, a set of key design principles was developed and used to assess the existing situation and to develop the emerging design with HYHW in terms of spatial layout, land use strategy and transport planning. The design vision connects the three town centres (yellow circles) through boulevards (red lines), the central canal (blue line) and north-south links (green lines).
The outcome
Space Syntax's recommendations were communicated to the design team throughout the competition process and are therefore embedded in the final proposals.

While many still live with daily reminders, for some of us it seems hard to believe today is the 23rd Anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. A memorial service will be observed at the Oklahoma City National Memorial, including a tribute to Reverend Billy Graham. Admission into the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum will be free of charge for the day. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
There were 168 people killed when the Timothy McVeigh truck bomb exploded on April 19, 1995.

Hi All,
im having iisues config a cisco ata 187 for sip, i can access the web interface via its ip address which displays information about the device but none of it can be modified. I can not access it when i add /dev to the address. I get page can not be displayed.
I have been able to do it for the 186 model.
The ATA-187 shares very little in common with the -186 [thankfully]. The -187 is configured entirely through CUCM. It pulls the configuration file down as other Cisco IP phones do. If you want an independent analog gateway that you can configure you will need to use a VG202 or VG204; they are IOS-based.
Note that the -187 is only supported with UCM 7.1(5) and 8.0(x) per the release notes and requires a feature package installation to see the device type.
how to change tftp server of Cisco ATA 187 as by default its getting a tftp server which is 10.10.X.X but i want to change the tftp server in order to register the Cisco ATA 187 with Cisco CallManager 7.1.
I coudn't configure the network setting from web page. Thanks
If you configure properly in CUCM for ATA 187, it must take all necessary settings automatically from the CUCM...

My goal is to move past "snapshot photography†into the true "art of photographyâ€, originally derived from my desire to have a digital scrapbook for each of my three young children. Over the last year, I have begun to shooting in manual mode, working to hone my skills and fine tune the interaction of aperture, shutter speed and ISO to achieve high quality photos.
No collections
Ultimately...Have Passion and Have Fun!

A conversation with my mentor, Randy Brogen on what he thinks makes his, and potentially yours and my, photos GREAT!

Nancy du Tertre
30 November 2015 App Feed E.P.I.C. Voyages Podcast
EPIC Voyages Radio Learns how Crack the E.T. Code from Alien Translator and Skeptical Psychic Nancy du Tertre
Monday, November 30th, 2015 at 9 pm EST, EPIC Voyages Radio kicks into high gear as the industrious truth-seeking sleuth Carole Carle searches for the Rosetta Stone equivalent to cracking the alien language, with the help of alien translator and Skeptical Psychic Nancy du Tertre.
Nancy Du Tertre known as "The Skeptical Psychic," created TalkAlien.com as a forum for discussions and information about various types of communication with aliens, extraterrestrials, visitors, light beings, inter-dimensionals, hybrids, time travelers, off-world intelligences and other types of nonhumans.
Nancy's background makes her uniquely qualified to understand and analyze the various issues involved in what she calls "Exolinguistics" or the study of off-world languages. Not only is she lawyer, but she is a linguist (French, German and Thai languages) and also a trained psychic medium. She has also had several significant UFO sightings and apparent alien contact experiences. Unlike most people, Nancy is able to navigate the worlds of analysis and intuition with equal ease.
Nancy practiced securities litigation as an attorney in Manhattan for many years before becoming a trained psychic detective working with law enforcement, a medical intuitive, spiritual medium, paranormal investigator, ufology researcher, remote viewer trained in military-style CRV techniques, and host of her own CBS radio show "Hot Leads Cold Cases." Nancy has also owned and operated several business including an award-winning newspaper, printing company, 242-bed skilled nursing home, and managed the U.S. operations of a family-owned porcelain manufacturing business in France. She was also a regular weekly guest on KAHI News Radio in Sacramento, CA, giving predictions on current affairs, and continues to give predictions on her website at www.theskepticalpsychic.com.
A frequent media guest, Nancy is a repeat guest on Coast-to-Coast AM with George Noory, and lectures around the country on topics including extraterrestrial communication, psychic mediumship, remote viewing and paranormal hauntings. A magna cum laude graduate of Princeton University, Nancy received an award for best thesis (French poetry/philosophy) An honors graduate of Pace Law School, Nancy was a published member of the Law Review (article on corporate greenmail practices), winner of Moot Court, and editor of the law school newspaper.
Tune in this Monday at 9 pm eastern for an informative dialogue about the possible communication methods of extra-terrestrial beings with the Skeptical Psychic, right here on the Inception Radio Network.

What is Alvarez saying about the Dominicans in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents?
- print Print
- list Cite
Of the people, Alvarez is very affectionate and loyal. To Trujillo and his henchmen, she is justifiably critical, exposing the corruption of the regime and its malevolent leader.
As the Garcia girls try to assimilate into American life, there is plenty of nostaglia to be had for their homeland as evidenced in the opening chapter, when Yoland returns to the island for a visit:
The late sun shifts through the bogainvillea trained to climb the walls of the patio...Tia Carmen's patio is a gathering place for the compound. She is the widow of the head of the clan and so hers is the largest house.
It is clear as the novel progresses how Trujillo's regime has brought peaceful life in the Dominican to a halt. In this scene from Part III (Blood of the Conquistadors) we see the door-to-door terror that exists on the island:
...the doorbell rings and Chucha lets in these creepy looking men...They wear dark mirror glasses. What catches Yoyo's eye are their holster belts and the shiny black bulge of their guns sticking through.
(They are) some kind of secret police in plain clothes...who could be anywhere at anytime...

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'K-Sea' category.
This morning I was looking for something, I thought happened in spring 2008. Alas, I had the date wrong, but this research led me to these photos, some of which I may have posted before, all taken between April 10 and 17 2008, i.e., a decade ago exactly. Back then I'd go into work an hour or so early, and because I had not yet plugged into AIS on my phone–I had a flipper–it was catch as catch could. Revisiting these photos stunned me with how much specific equipment has changed.
Baltic Sea and Coral Sea have gone over to West Africa. Maybe a gallivant there is in order. I last left West Africa forty years ago!!.
Maryland is still in the area; I caught a glimpse of her in Jamaica Bay last week as Liz Vinik, but not close enough for a photo showing anything but a speck. Check out Birk's site's info on Vinik Marine Services.
Nathan E. Stewart came to an ignoble end.
Both K-Sea and Allied have been purchased by Kirby. Petrel has gone to Philadelphia, where she's working as Northstar Integrity. Below, she was pushing Sugar Express, up to the plant in Yonkers.
Crude oil tanker Wilana (now Kamari) arriving at dawn on a very calm slack water Arthur Kill was the high point of that week, especially because it was the first tanker I'd watched coming into Linden. I'll not forget how silent the process was.
On the starboard bow was Catherine Turecamo, now working in freshwater near the Great Lakes as John Marshall.
On her stern was Laura K Moran, now moved to another Moran base. And, notice the Bayonne Bridge now longer has the geometry as shown below.
Any time I feel that stuff never changes, guess I should look through my archives.
All photos taken in mid-April 2008 by Will Van Dorp, who wonders if anyone out there read Future Shock by Alvin Toffler. It was published almost a half century ago but I think he was on to something.
Jack Ronalds took this photo of Ontario (Jeffrey K. McAllister) and Erie (Missy McAllister) in Canso back in August 2016.
John Jedrlinic took this in the sixth boro in December 2008.
I took the photo below a few months earlier in 2008, as the transfer from Normandy to Ross Sea was happening.
Grouper has been featured here many, many times over the years, but you've never seen this much of her out of the water; it's "draw-down" time on the Erie Canal near lock E-28A. These photos come from Bob Stopper a few weeks ago.
From Bangkok, Ashley Hutto sends along photos of a decidedly pastel Thai tug
with two barges
on a hawser.
Thanks to Jack, Jed, Bob, and Ashley for these photos.
Sea Power has been lurking in and around the sixth boro the past few days, and I will continue trying to get some good photos of her, but on 9-22-16 Jack Ronalds up at the Canso Canal caught these photos of her as she headed into Lake Erie to pick up her barge constructed in Erie PA.
Remember, if you need photos of a vessel traveling between the Great Lakes and the west Atlantic Coast from the Maritimes southward, Jack's your guy. See some of his work (2440 photos) here.
4-24-08 Dean Reinauer passes NYK Daedalus. This Dean left NYC for Nigeria in June 2011.
6-16-08 Juliet Reinauer pushed oil a decade ago. She's still in the harbor working as Big Jake.
6-23-08 Odin . . . no longer has an adjustable wheelhouse and may be laid up, and ITB Groton, single-hulled tanker, . . . was sold in later 2008 to Nigerian interests first to ship grain and then returned to petroleum trade. It was sent to Alang and scrapped in late 2013.
9-13-08 Viking seen here out of the notch has made its way to Kirby and is currently very busy on the Hudson.
9-05-10 Here's another showing Viking out of the notch and all gussied up, and (it seems) terrifying W. O. Decker.
And finally, another from 9-22-16, a shot of Sea Power heading north through the Canso Canal and ultimately to Lake Erie to pick up its mated barge. In the background is the 60+ year-old quarry now operated by Martin Marietta Materials in Aulds Cove, where vessels like and including Alice Oldendorff pick up the aggregates. Last year, four million tons worth of rock was shipped from here.
Many thanks to Jack for use of his photos. All others by Will Van Dorp, who has learned that as of this morning, Sea Power is sailing for Charleston SC.
I'm working on some tougher posts, but here's an easy one. Let's flip the calendar back approximately 10 years, give or take a month. Then it was Barents Sea, not Atlantic Enterprise. Rowan M. McAllister is still around, although in Charleston SC. And the container ship under the "un-raised" Bayonne Bridge is Zim Qingdao, currently eastbound across the Atlantic. The other McAllister tug I don't know.
Melvin E. Lemmerhirt, now Evelyn Cutler, eastbound toward the Brooklyn Bridge . . . well, all's quite changed about all this.
Maryland –I've yet to see her as Liz Vinik–was bunkering the brand new Queen Victoria.
Peking was then–as now–out of the water, although currently her dry dock is in Germany.
Penn No. 4 still goes by the same name, but it's now a Kirby boat.
George Burrows was never a regular here, and I've no idea of her current disposition.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who hopes you enjoyed this backward glance.
I have a bunch more "cypher 12" calendar-ready ideas to come, but time flows, changes and evolution press, and I don't want to get left behind. Again, I'm NOT selling calendars, but they are easy to make.
Back eight years ago I did a post called Labrador Sea. There she is below, photos I took yesterday. You'll notice a radically new paint job. There's a name change as well. She's still pushing the same barge, but now she's Brooklyn, the latest Brooklyn.
DBL25 she's pushing was the same formerly Kirby/K-Sea barge, and if you scroll through here, you'll see DBL25 as paint was making her transition from a K-Sea to a Kirby barge.
Below is a photo from February 08, 2017 showing her in Kirby livery. I'm wondering if the crews moved over to Vane with the boat.
All photos–yesterday's and February's–by Will Van Dorp.
As tugster continues its CYPHER series, this is the 3633nd post, and almost 2.1 million hits. Thanks for staying with me.
On the other hand, if I were selling calendars, the number 12 would be significant. So for the next few days, let me offer some diverse dozens chosen quite subjectively, although what the photos have in common–besides subject–is that I like them.
Here's a November 2016 photo along the Gowanus under the BQE. This tug looks good in blue, but I'll never forget her in orange.
Here's a November 2015 when the upper deck of Bayonne had yet to be assembled, and the lower disassembled. Amy C last appeared here as she nudged Empire State into her Fort Schuyler dock.
Here's 2014. She's recently worked in the Keys.
Here's '13. Where is Houma today?
'12. Ellen's a regular on this blog.
'11. Tasman has been doing this work since 1976!
'10. Is ex-Little Bear in Erie along with Bear?
'09. She now makes her way around the lower Caribbean . . . and currently anchored in Trinidad.
'08. And I'm adding another photo right after Linda (launched in '08) of
Scott Turecamo (below) launched in 1998 but radically retrofitted in 2005, originally quite similar to Greenland Sea, here see the photos by Robert J. Smith. How many of these ATBs does Moran now operate? .
'07. This was the only time I ever saw Penobscot. Anyone know where foreign she went?
'06. Note the size of the yard workers around the wheels on Ralph E. Bouchard.
Again, some of these photos show what has changed in the sixth boro, spawning ground for this blog.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
Kudos to Ginger, who guessed what the anniversary alluded to yesterday was. Today begins year 12 of this blog. So in the midst of all the references to CYBER- this and that, I'll be my default contrarian self and call the next series a CYPHER series, lots of posts beginning with the number 12. In today's I took a photo from the top "hit" month in each year since 2006.
So in 2006, December was the top month, and the photo below (or one like it) appeared in KVK.
In 2007, September was the top month, and this was from Historic Tug.
In 2008, June, and this was from Transitioning.
September in 2009 and from Divers 2.
In 2010, November, and this is from Pilot and the Princesa.
June 2011, and context is Like Groundhog Day 3.
2012, May, and Blueing Beyond the Sixth Boro.
2013, March, and Looking for a Ship.
2014, March, and Botruc Plum Isle.
March again in 2015, and this has context in Highway 4.
March yet again, 2016, and Backing Down Heina.
And finally, the greatest number of hits in 2017 was in July, likely because of the posts related to Peking's move.
A reason to glance backward periodically is to see what has changed. The corollary then is that a reason to do a daily waterblog is to record what was present when. And doing that permits me to see changes in myself and my tools. Blogging, as you might guess, takes a fair amount of my time and guides a bulk of my focus, but it rewards me enough to continue. I can't say for how long, nor do I have to. I've always refused to sign my boss's multimillion dollar contract, although that might cost me the cover story on some high-profile magazine . . .
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
And let's hear some applause for Ginger.
It turns out, I've done a post like this once before . . . in 2012 here. When I took the next two photos on Tuesday, I'd thought all the fleet week vessels had already departed. Well, wrong . . . there went LHD-3 USS Kearsarge . . .
which reminded me this would be
a good time to use a photo by a jolly tar back about 10 years ago. Notice the long-gone, long transformed Odin bunkering LHD-3….
Mid afternoon Tuesday this was a sight to behold along the East River, here approaching the Williamsburg Bridge . . . whatzit?
It's another of the fleet leaving town . . . USNS Yuma (T-EPF-8). The photo above and next two come from an alert Tony A doing his commerce on the East River. In the photo below, it's the green-fronted UN Building along with river with Trump Tower (dark) rising behind it.
When I caught notice of this, I thought I could hurry to Fort Wadsworth to catch photos of Yuma with Manhattan behind it, but my underestimation of EPF's speed and the coincidence of hitting every stoplight on Bay Terrace meant that when I got to the Fort,
Yuma was already making almost two dozen knots and headed for Norfolk, a trip that took less than 24 hours.
The EFTs are a further evolution of the HSTs, which I posted about here. By the way, Alakai was renamed USNS Puerto Rico, but then later that name was removed, since there's a new EFT with the name USNS Puerto Rico in the offing. So is the former Alakai now nameless?
Many thanks to Tony A for sending along the East River photos. Thanks to JED for the Odin/USS Kearsarge shot, and all the others by Will Van Dorp.
Happy June!
Sometimes I like to start new categories so that the numbers don't get so high, boats no longer extant or frequent get a second look, and we realize that time is passing pretty fast. So all the photos here I took more than seven years ago. Some have been on the blog before, but not together and not edited exactly as they are now.
Like Norwegian Sea, she used to be a wintertime staple running up the River, easily recognizable by her upper wheelhouse.
Juliet is still around but not very busy under her new name . . . it seems.
This boat, like her namesake, is gone too soon. Pegasus is still around but no longer looks this way.
Zeus was on the Great Lakes after working in the sixth boro, but I've lost track of her.
Volunteer, another unmistakable profile, now long time gone from here.
Zachery . . . still around and still working. High Peace is now registered Vietnamese and goes by Pvt Dolphin.
Just to break the pattern here, here's a photo I took of Zachery a few days ago.
Take my word for this last photo . . . the distant unit I can't identify although I'm guessing a Reinauer boat, but the closer vessel is outrageous. Actually I mean Outrageous. That's the name. Click here (and scroll) for a previous photo of Outrageous, which I believe used to be based in the sixth boro.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
I did this once before here. This time I was deleting near duplicates to limit the size of my photo library to accommodate the many photos I brought back from the gallivants, and my mind quickly formed today's post. Enjoy all these from August through October 2009 and marvel at how much the harbor changes. As I went through the archives, this is where I stopped, given the recent developments in Bella Bella BC.
For background on this tug, check here.
Notice also the Bayonne approach to the bridge.
IMO 8983117 was still orange back then.
King Philip, Thomas Dann, and Patriot Service . . .
Odin . . . now has a fixed profile.
And these two clean looking machines — Coral Queen and
John B. Caddell — were still with us.
This is a digression to March 2010, but since I'm in a temporally warped thought, let me add this photo of the long-gone Kristin Poling.
Back to 2009, Rosemary looked sweet here in fall scenes.
John Reinauer . . . I wonder what that tug looks like today over in Nigeria.
And Newtown Creek, now the deep Lady Luck of the Depths, sure looked good back then.
And while I'm at it, I've finally solved a puzzle that's bugged me for a few years. Remember this post from three and a half years ago about a group of aging Dutch sailors who wanted to hold a reunion on their vessel but couldn't find the boat, a former Royal Dutch Navy tug named Wamandai A870? Well, here's the boat today! Well, maybe . . .
Another boat you can dive on is United Caribbean aka Golden Venture.
Photos and tangents by Will Van Dorp.
