Pershing Galley
This past week I was able to take a peek at a 64-ft. Pershing Yacht. I immediately loved the modern styling. The first place I headed, naturally, was the galley.
Here's my picture of the galley followed by a professional photo from Pershing.
I think the angle of the sink is really interesting. It can be used by someone while the cook stands at the cooktop.
I tend to prefer modern looking boats and I loved the contrast of the light veneer with the dark floor and countertop. I recently discovered that the Ernestomeda Yacht Division collaborates with Pershing. Ernestomeda is one of my favorite Italian cabinet lines.
Here's my picture of the Bosch refrigerator fully paneled. There are catches inside to keep the doors from swinging open although it would seem the appliance gasket would do that but I've never tested a refrigerator at sea. A full door may have enough weight to swing open under the right conditions.
LED task lighting is used throughout. The only change I might want would be a leather finish on the countertop. The glare off the reflective surface might get to be a little too much after a while. On the other hand, I think there are expectations for boats to have shiny surfaces so you may disagree with my preference.

I am glad you enjoyed your time onboard the Pershing 64. We do use Ernestomeda cabinets in our larger yachts as well as on some of our other Ferretti Group product lines. As for the leather on the countertop, for you Ann I would be happy to accomodate a Poltrona Frau leather countertop you just have to pick the color.

Thanks, Justin. It may be some time before I'm ready to have a Pershing all my own.

In addition to a car charger adapter, Garmin GPS accessories can lead to a USB cord to download maps and other data. Garmin USB cables may also usually charge automotive GPS units. The USB cable offered with most Garmin GPS systems may be used to register your Garmin GPS unit and connect with services like Garmin Connect or myDashboard to download maps, update software, or find support. The best Garmin GPS units offer unlimited map downloads and updates when associated with a PC. There are three ways to charge most Garmin GPS units: in the car, through a standard wall outlet, or by computer. Not sure how to charge a Garmin GPS on the PC or whether your unit enables computer charging? The first thing you need to charge your GPS over the PC can be a USB cable. Your Garmin GPS unit should indicate it is attached to your personal machine when plugged into a USB port. The pocket-sized Garmin Quest units will also be struggling to be charged on the pc, as they demand a 12v connection. On some devices much like the Garmin n? vi 2200, the connector to the computer USB cable is similar port as that employed by the vehicle charger. Select units just like the GPSMAP 620 and GPSMAP 640 Garmin GPS systems offering marine navigational functions is not going to charge via a computer USB port. Others much like the n? The location and size of the connector can vary greatly between units, but it can generally be found across the side or back of the GPS. Most automotive units also charge when attached to laptop computer's USB port. However, USB ports usually only provide an production of 5v DC and definately will charge your GPS slower than the traditional car charger or wall AC adapter. Each GPS will be different, so be sure you compare GPS features to determine what tools, accessories, and add-ons are around for one's body. vi 2300 have two USB connectors, a micro-USB port, plus a mini-USB port.

In most cases, however, the GPS should charge automatically whether on or off. The following directions are specific on the Garmin n? To stop the GPS from automatically entering USB storage mode and displaying the pc icon on its screen, users can "eject" the n? vi 250 model, but should sign up for similar units. This guide will walk you from the basics of the best way to charge a Garmin GPS with a PC:
On some Garmin units, it's also possible to touch it meter icon and hold for approximately 5 seconds to enter battery test mode. There are some basic steps to adhere to to ensure your GPS charges when attached to your pc USB port. vi models among others will most likely have an icon appear on the screen when linked to laptop computer by USB cable, showing an illustration depicting a connected computer and device. Charging times in a car can differ from 1 to 4 hours, depending for the unit and condition in the battery. On the computer, some Garmin units might take as much as 8 hours to charge. After connecting the USB cable, these devices should indicate that it must be charging for the main screen, reassuring you how the unit is indeed charging. Because there are no obvious signs that this unit is charging, many users will wonder if their GPS is in fact charging. Users can test the machine to view if it's got charged by turning it back on and checking battery status indicator. A Garmin GPS can take longer to charge before the product is first used. Even so, it's best to avoid overcharging your GPS for long periods to prolong the life in the battery, as suited to most electronics. However, you should be aware that charging times could be substantially longer when charging with a PC, especially if the system http://www.bigpup.net is on and being utilized while plugged in.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A woman's in custody after police say she shot a man in Southeast Memphis on Tuesday, sending him to the hospital in critical condition.
Markeith Wilson said he immediately left work after hearing there was a shooting where his son was.
"I was praying the whole way over here that everything was okay," he said.
He said he left his five-year-old with family on Thistle Down Cove while he went to work, but a phone call cut that work day short. His aunt told him shots were fired right next door to her place.
"It could've went through the wall and hit him," said Wilson. "I could've lost a son, that's why I quickly left work and came and got him."
Police said the call came in around 10:30 Tuesday morning.
Neighbors told WREG's Bridget Chapman they heard two gunshots coming from the victim's apartment.
Wilson said his aunt and her boyfriend reacted quickly in regards to his son.
"He put my son in a room to make sure he was safe and he came and peeped out the window to make sure everything was okay."
Police said a woman shot a man. Neighbors believe the two were dating and had some type of altercation. The victim was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, while neighbors told us they watched the suspect get arrested out front.
A car was towed after police wrapped up the scene Tuesday afternoon.
Tenants told WREG this wasn't the first report of gunshots in the complex.
"It's quiet," said Wilson. "Neighbors are friendly but in this back area, it's crazy."
Wilson said he's just happy his son's safe.
"If anything happened to him, I would've been devastated."
He hopes everyone else involved will be okay too.
WREG reached out to Memphis police to get an update on the victim's condition and more information, but we have not heard back yet.

Seventy years ago Thursday, a Japanese fleet sunk the ship off the coast of Java. The ship carried 1,068 crewmen, but only 291 sailors and Marines survived both the attack and being prisoners of war.
Fifteen of the original crew members are still alive, but Howard Brooks of New Jersey and David Flynn of Florida, both 92, are the only ones expected to attend the reunion of the USS Houston CA-30 Survivors Association. They'll join shipmates' relatives Saturday at the monument in downtown Houston's Sam Houston Park.
The Japanese sank the USS Houston and the Australian light cruiser HMAS Perth shortly after midnight on March 1, 1942, during the Battle of Sunda Strait.
After the Perth went down, the USS Houston's crew fought for a half-hour until all ammunition was spent.
"We had no planes in the air at all, but the Japanese had planes and they were dropping what we called star shells," Brooks said. "They would light up the whole area around like daylight, and we could see the ships firing at us. We were so close we could see sailors on the decks of the Japanese destroyers."
The warship was listing and ablaze when the order came over the public address system: "Hear this: All hands abandon ship!"
"At that announcement, you sort of froze for a second," Flynn, who was a radioman on the warship, tells the Houston Chronicle (http://bit.ly/zGnyQR).
When Flynn jumped into the water, he was bleeding from shrapnel wounds. He was fished out of the water by a Japanese boat.
Brooks, who was unhurt, clung to the side of a life raft for three days. When it washed ashore, Brooks, too, was captured by Japanese soldiers.
Both men spent the next 3 1/2 years as prisoners of war. Brooks was among those forced to build the Burma Railway, made famous in the 1957 film "The Bridge on the River Kwai."
In Houston, the destruction of the warship resulted in a mass recruiting drive for volunteers to replace the lost crew, as well as an $85 million fundraising campaign to pay for a new cruiser and an aircraft carrier, the USS San Jacinto.
According to a 1949 Houston Chronicle article commemorating the event, word of the USS Houston's fate "aroused a fever pitch of patriotism in Houston."
"Her loss made the war something more of a personal conflict to more than half a million people," the article reads. "Official news of her destruction ... slapped the city squarely between the eyes, and set off a series of events that stands unequaled in the nation."

That's MRS. Librarian to you
That's me and my hubby there (isn't he a cutie?). Talk about a Fizz! Boom! summer... mine was pretty extraordinary. Not only was summer reading a huge hit here in the valley of the locust, but I managed to plan and execute a wedding during it all as well. We took the family and friends to the Land of Enchantment and spent some quality time together with a little wedding thrown in the middle. It was magical.
But the life of a bookgirl doesn't ever stop, so I'm back and planning for our amazing fall programs. There's some CSI for teens, and some Scary Tales, for tweens, and some trick or treats and storytime for our tots. It's sure to be another terrific season here at library.

While in Santarém he writes about trying to procure a ceremonial trophy head and feathered headdress from the Mundurucú people, once the mightiest headhunters in the Amazon. I had assumed that he was unable to close the deal, but the Musée d'Ethnographie in Neuchâtel has a feathered headdress that is attributed to Henri in their possession (Actual photo below). The colors of the Amazon bird feathers are still incredibly vibrant after 150 years. What happened to the trophy head is a mystery.

Chattermill, a London-based startup that uses âdeep learningâ to help companies make better sense of customer feedback, has raised £600,000 in seed funding. Backing comes from Entrepreneur First â Chattermill is an alumni of the company builder â and Avonmore Developments, along with a number of angel investors, including Jeff Kelisky, CEO of Seedrs.
Founded in 2015 by friends Mikhail Dubov and Dmitry Isupov, Chattermill is one of a number of startups that are tackling the problem of how to sift through and respond to customer feedback and across multiple channels. With that data growing exponentially, the company is employing deep learning to help do the job in, arguably, a much more scalable and potentially more accurate way.
âWe help companies understand and improve their customer experience: we give companies insight that helps them craft better products and services,â Dubov, Chattermillâs CEO, tells me. âCompanies with best in class customer experience ultimately have more loyal customers and find it easier acquiring them in the first place. Customer feedback is the best data to understand customer experience and while most companies have a lot of customer feedback, few have the tools to extract insight from itâ.
He says the startupâs solution is to apply the latest deep learning techniques to analyse customer feedback in a way that is tailored for each company. âIn addition to this we provide an analytics dashboard and automated alerts that make it very easy to take action on the insight across the business,â he says.
Specifically, Chattermill collates all feedback channels in one place and then âbuilds a customised deep learning model to extract easily actionable insightâ. It can then measure sentiment to see how customers are feeling about each part of the overall experience, from design of an app down to speed of delivery and attitude of customer care agents.
In terms of how it collects customer feedback data in the first place, Chattermill integrates many standard tools used for soliciting and monitoring customer feedback and sentiment, such as SurveyMonkey, Zendesk, TypeForm or Salesforce, in addition to aggregating feedback from Net Promoter Score surveys, reviews, support tickets and social media.
The ten-person Chattermill team is currently working with customers across sectors that include, fintech, e-commerce, travel and gaming. âWe work with consumer businesses that have a large customer base across industries,â says Dubov. âNotable examples are Transferwise, HelloFresh and Just Eat. Within these companies we work with the product, customer service and customer experience teamsâ.

My main camera for both stills and movie is the Sony Alpha 7s. This excellent camera offers a number of advantages. Being mirorless, it is compact and light. This can often confuse clients expecting a rather larger camera, but despite its small size, the a7s packs a good punch, with a full-frame sensor that captures images at 12.4MP. Whilst the number of megapixels is lower than a lot of its competitors, this allows the a7s an almost unmatched sensistivty to light. This makes it highly versatile, especially in low-light conditions, where it can operate up to 409600 ISO, and effectively shoot night for day. Whilst this level of correction is often not necessary or desired, this amount of sensitivity allows for more creative freedom in low-light conditions, with the a7s II able to operate with narrower apertures and faster shutter-speeds than other cameras.
Here's an awesome silhouette of me on top of Jebel Salah, in Medina, with the Sony a7s whilst filming a short documentary in Saudi Arabia with Philip Bloom, along with our Saudi fixers.

[Taken Thursday, on one of my better days..in between sleep comas :p]
It's been about a year since I've uploaded a "real" portrait of myself online,
I've felt so unlike me--not editing everyday, uploading photos to share..
it came to a point where I looked in the mirror; at my photographs..
and didn't even know who it was I was looking at! :-O
Thankfully now I'm out of that fog, and as my health slowly progresses,
my portfolio slowly gets bigger. :]
I plan on uploading the images in batches over the next few days.
It'll be so exciting to get something done and feeling accomplished again!!
For now,
out with Mom&Gram to shop/shoot!!

The Ghost of Computers Past, Present, and Future: Computer Use for Preservice/Inservice Reading Programs.
Prince, Amber T.
Computer assisted instruction, and especially computer simulations, can help to ensure that preservice and inservice teachers learn from the right experiences. In the past, colleges of education used large mainframe computer systems to store student registration, provide simulation lessons on diagnosing reading difficulties, construct informal reading inventories, and provide mobile delivery service for inservice instruction. However, due to their cost and the lack of grant money, these programs are no longer in use. Today, colleges of education are using stand-alone microcomputers for tutorials, games, word processing, and simulations. Future uses of computer technology might include interactive videodiscs for the presentation of lectures, networks for online references, online testing or data base management, and teleconferencing. These uses have great potential for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of teacher learning because (1) they provide preservice teachers with designed rather than accidental sets of experiences, (2) the experiences they create decrease the chances of inexperienced teachers doing educational harm to future students, and (3) they free professors for more supervision of preservice teachers in the classroom, for more small group work, and perhaps for more research. Nevertheless, these possibilities may be hampered by the low priority colleges of education have placed on the technical training needed to implement such programs. (HOD)

Gladstone, ScD, demonstrated that induced Cherenkov light can be imaged and used to confirm that the complex spatial dose distribution imparted in dynamic treatment plans is being delivered correctly. Their paper "Video-rate optical dosimetry and dynamic visualization of IMRT and VMAT treatment plans in water using Cherenkov radiation," was recently published in Medical Physics.
"Cherenkov radiation is emitted and exists as a 'free' optical signal that has not been previously utilized," explained Adam Glaser, lead PhD student on the project. "By imaging the light, we can improve the quality and accuracy of delivered plans to prevent radiation mistakes. This will ultimately improve the overall outcome for patients being treated."
The Cherenkov Effect is responsible for the characteristic blue glow of nuclear reactors. Although the phenomenon has been constructively utilized for decades in high-energy particle physics and astrophysics, only recently has there been investigation into its utility in radiation therapy. In that context, it is the only current method that can reveal dosimetric information while remaining completely non-invasive. Essentially, the signal comes directly from the water phantom being irradiated rather than introducing detector arrays.
To accomplish this work, a high-sensitivity, intensified CCD camera was set up to take a two-dimensional projected image during delivery of the Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) or Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) plans. The camera focused on a water bath, and was gated to the Linear Accelerator to take a rapid series of photos that were connected to make an ersatz video and used to compare overall light distribution with the original dosing plan.
"Compared to conventional [quality assurance] methods, the advantages of this technique are video-rate, real-time data acquisition, two dimensional projection of 3-D dose distribution, and high spatial resolution that is limited only by the collection optics of the system," said Gladstone.
Next steps for the team at Norris Cotton Cancer Center are to extend the system to tomographic 3-D data recovery, as well as continuing clinical trials to investigate Cherenkov light imaged directly from a patient's tissue surface.
Drs. Pogue, Gladstone and their team work at Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Norris Cotton Cancer Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire and Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering in Hanover, NH. The NIH funded this work with grants RO1CA109558, R21EB017559, and P30CA23108.

Green Beans with Roasted Nuts and Cranberries
How to Make It
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add 1 tablespoon salt and the green beans and cook until tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the oil, nuts, and cranberries.
Drain the green beans and transfer them to the bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and toss to coat.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Stress-Less Tip: Don't bother pulling out the sauté pan. Using roasted nuts eliminates the need to toast them on the stovetop.

-Michelle F.
I have to say I had the most wonderful experience there today. I have never said that about a dentist. I had full perio cleaning today and I was very comfortable. I can only say thank you to Stephanie and Dr. Dougherty. I will no longer have apprehension when going to the dentist.
-Chiara G.
Smile Solutions Staff, Thank you all for being amazing! I'm sad it's my last visit but I will miss you all!! You guys have been great and are an excellent staff! I promise to visit.
-Samm M.
Jess, Once again you pulled me through again. Thank you so much you are a jewel!

-Jo Ann M.
They are always punctual with their appointments. The staff is very friendly. They seem to do an excellent job of cleaning my teeth and taking care of me.
-Herb V.
Dr. Emmi at Smile Solutions by Emmi Dental Associates. I have lost my dental benefits so right now I can't afford to see a dentist. Once I get the benefits back, I would definitely go back and see Dr. Emmi. He really attends to me personally. He makes me feel special as a patient. I started going to him twenty years ago, he was a new dentist at the practice then, and he took over the practice later on. I stayed back with the practice because of Dr. Emmi. His personality reminds me of that of the superman every time I talk to him. Dr. Emmi is absolutely gentle and does perfect work every single time.
-William M.
I've lived in New Castle County over 40 something years and have been to at least 7 different dentists. I have 4 children who have gone to different dentist due to their insurance policy's and have heard their experiences with different dentist. When I see a good dentist, after seeing or hearing about the not so good ones, I felt I had to say something. Dr. Emmi is one of the best. First and foremost he takes my fear of pain, my phobia of the unknown and my anxiety of what's to come as if I'm his only patient. What more can you ask for? He has excellent chair-side manners and I would recommend him to anyone. His knowledgeable, helpful and caring assistant gets an A+ too. Thank-you Dr. Emmi.

Mostly, it tells of the "meeting" of that one stone with one man, French J-F Champollion (1790-1832), the main interpreter of the intricate symbol structure & grammar behind the text, & thus known as a "father" of Egyptology. But there are important nuances. Far more people than Champollion contributed, & much more text than one relic was needed for ancient Egypt to speak, once again, to him & to humankind.
Among other contributors to the interpretation, the English (who captured the Rosetta stone & hold it to this day at the British Museum) are justly proud of the versatile Thomas Young, but Scandinavians can take pride in the exceptional & essential earlier contributions of the Danes Fredrik Norden & Jørgen Zoega; of a Germano-Dane, Carsten Niebuhr; & of the Swede JD Akerblad. Decoding the hieroglyphs was a truly European enterprise, a focus of both Enlightenment & romanticism, hotly embraced by the learned community of its time. When Champollion died at 41, prematurely exhausted by his immense toil of insight, precision & rigour, he had scarcely wasted a minute of his short days, yet the hieroglyphs were still not adequately understood. This craved the rest of the 19th Century, & the work is by no means "complete" even today. The solemn idiom, marshaling a painfully elaborate mix of ideographic & phonetic devices, is not like its obvious classical opposite Latin, a more immediate language for us to approach. Even to learn it demands angelic patience from conscientious scholars. From that point of view – & only from that view, because the scope & richness of several thousand years of Egyptian is unfathomably vast – I resolved to stick with polishing my Latin. Not that I'm not otherwise tempted.
(One of the world's top egyptologists, John C Darnell, was recently asked how long it might take to master ancient Egyptian. His reply, strangely more stimulating than depressing: "I think I can safely say you probably die before you master it". He may indeed have had Champollion in mind, but there is no shortage of others victims. This c25 minutes talk with a scholar in cheerful intellectual form is, by the way, well worth watching. Reference below.)
The book's authorship is the fertile collaboration of a French-Egyptian writer & intellectual (Solé), with a full-blooded academic, holder of the Sorbonne's Egyptology professorship (Valbelle). It strikes the exact measure between highly entertaining narrative & more scholarly, meaty material. Another desirable balance is between East & West, a popular issue these days. Ancient Egypt was neither because it still united both, which surely gives it tremendous force & application toward our own modern destiny.
This is a slim work, read in a few sessions, but it articulates a splendid tale resounding from an archaic, exalted past, as well as from the more recent emergence of scientific Europe.

Rancid Tickets
Rancid is a punk band formed in 1991 in Berkeley,
California, by former members of Operation Ivy - Matt Freeman and Tim
Armstrong. Rancid's musical style blends punk rock and
hardcore punk with ska, reggae, rocksteady and elements of dub music
and funk. Among mainstream audiences, Rancid are best-known
for "Ruby Soho" and "Time Bomb" from the 1995 recording ...And Out
Come the Wolves.
Our service, selection and competitive pricing are certain to impress you! Showtime Ticket Services has supplied preferred seating and difficult to obtain tickets for all Sports, Theater and Concert Events Worldwide for over 20 years.
Rancid Tickets available now! ShowTime Ticket Services specializes in tickets for all tour venues.
Rancid Tickets continued.
Rancid Tickets Continued
Rancid's style often draws comparison with The Clash, especially in their albums ...And Out Come the Wolves and Life Won't Wait, the latter of which is sometimes referred to as "Rancid's Sandinista!". This influence is further emphasized by direct homages to the seminal punk rock group in the lyrics to several of Rancid's songs, such as the title track to Indestructible.
Rancid enjoyed widespread popularity throughout the 1990s, with the band touring constantly from 1993 through 1998. They have released 6 full-length albums, along with numerous 7" vinyls and singles. Following the commercial and critical success of Let's Go, which garnered gold status in the U.S. with 500,000 copies sold, the band was pursued by several major labels, including Madonna's Maverick Records. Despite these offers, Rancid chose to stick with independent label Epitaph Records for their first four studio albums.
In early 2006, Rancid announced plans for a worldwide tour beginning in July 2006 and the release of a DVD compiling 31 of their music videos, as well as a tentative release date of Spring 2007 for a new, as-of-yet-unamed studio album.

24 hours is a really long time when you have no idea where the day will take you.
Sunday marked the beginning of Walmart's holiday layaway plan, a whole month earlier than last year, officially kicking off the holiday season before summer has even officially ended. I believe that may just be a record—not counting those "Christmas in July" campaigns.
But, seriously, for many September is a bittersweet month. It's the end of those long, hot summer days—of late quite humid, too—but also a kind of happy return to getting down to business. Chalk it up to that old "back-to-school" mentality, ingrained in so many of us, kicking in as kids actually go back to school. Or, the beginning of that last quarter of the year bearing down on us and the experience to know how quickly time will fly before we so much as work out our get-it-done-by-year-end lists. So, do we really need the added pressure of Christmas in September, too?
When I worked in higher education I quite literally measured out my life in accordance with the academic calendar and those six years flew by so fast I hardly remember what else happened in my life outside of work; in my memories everything still seems tethered to convocation, midterms, finals, graduation or winter or summer break. I left that job to spend six months in the Pacific Rim. My time included serving as a volunteer teacher in Thailand and in a cultural exchange program working for the Melbourne Film Office as well as traveling through several countries by myself.
My first day found me, after about 24 hours straight of travel from New York City, in Taipei, Taiwan absolutely exhausted, but unable to sleep; I spent all day sightseeing and even bought a ticket to the evening performance at the National Theater, which I watched with half-closed eyes. The next morning after not much sleep either, I sat writing in my journal of all I had done and experienced the day before. It occurred to me I'd already learned one of the greatest lessons of my life: 24 hours is a really long time when you have no idea where the day will take you.
When I returned from my travels and reentered the workforce it was a real challenge not to get caught up in living in the future tense. You know what I mean? "I can wait till next weekend/my vacation/the holiday." Or, even worse was living days ahead at work, envisioning what needed to get done and making lists for each day of the week; such endless planning ahead was like slow death by post-it notes and reminder emails to self.
So how do we navigate what is for so many of us the pressure cooker time of year when our lives accelerate on almost all fronts, demand for our attention increases exponentially, and we have even less time to spare than usual? Here's what I have found helpful:
Do you have tips for managing the frenzy that comes with the beginning of the holiday season and usually doesn't let up until after New Years? I'd love to hear them. Leave a comment

Local History Books
Last week we explored some of the local history texts that have been published in the past and we are going to continue along that vein this week as well. Often local texts are in a limited edition and some times few examples survive the tests of time.
One text that I quote from on occasion is " Sand Sawdust and Sawlogs" by Francis Caswell Hanna. She was deeply interested in local history and put together an early history of the Ludington area in time for the centennial celebration in 1955. The book was self published It's hard to say how many copies were sold or given away but it appears that there are not that many copies available today outside of the Library and the research room at White Pine Village. It is also available online at . http://ludingtonmichigan.net/sandsawdust.htm
Every attempt by an author to interpret our local history adds to our understanding and enriches us with new perspectives
As we review these wonderful old texts, and some newer ones as well, if you happen to have copies gathering dust please keep in mind that the local Library and White Pine Village are good repositories for these texts and would be in a place that people can access and enjoy them. If you are also aware of any other histories whether unpublished or published, of any aspect of Mason County History please contact me so that I might include them. The following is quoted from Francis Caswell Hanna's book " Sand Sawdust and Sawlogs"
"Public school education in Ludington took a forward step in 1875 when the school board employed as superintendent, John N. Foster of Lansing.
"The crude Sawdust Avenue school house where the aristocratic Sarah Melendy and the gentle Catalina Mitchell (Mrs. Fred Dowland) had opened up the world of knowledge to the resisting youth of the community, housed the typical district school of retarded boys, spelling bees and McGuffey Readers.
"Mrs. Dowland told of finding live frogs in her desk (compliments of Peter Glassmire, prominent Manistee attorney in later years). Items in the Record indicate the school was like many others that became famous in song and story.
"One of the pioneer women teachers was obliged to go to the school board for help in disciplining the big boys. One teacher decided to give an "exhibit,' and visitors were mildly startled at some of the information given by the "scholars:"
"Teacher: What state do you live in?
Little Girl: British America.
Teacher: What is the capital of this state?
Another Little Girl: Maine.
Teacher: Who ruled this country 99 years ago?
Third Little Girl: The Pere Marquette Lumber Company."
"Since the lumber industry moved here from New England, close neighbors to "British America," and many Ludington residents of that day came from Maine, and for years the Pere Marquette Lumber Company was the only large industry here, one must admit the little girls were developing powers of observation. Of such was District 3 of Pere Marquette Township which embraced the same territory that is now included in Union District 1 of the City of Ludington.
"John N. Foster the first superintendent came to Ludington directly from the Reform School at Lansing, later the State Industrial School, where for two years he had been assistant superintendent. Discipline held an important place in the educational set up of that day. Mr. Foster's first report published at the close of the school year in 1876 gives his clear-cut ideas of the requirements of a public school system.
"The high school had been accredited to some higher institutions of learning, but not the state university which required an additional year of study. The library of 35 volumes would soon begin to grow under his expert guidance. "Prof." Foster had prepared his first class here for graduation when Luther H. Foster was assassinated. The commencement exercises were postponed (Foster was a member of the school board) and never took place.
"The shocking murder of Luther Foster brought benumbing tragedy to the peaceful little town as well as to the school. Awakening in the night to find a prowler in their room, Mrs. Foster heard her husband exclaim, "You rascal! " The intruder fled and Foster, grasping a revolver, followed. Under a young maple at the corner of Main (Gaylord Avenue) and Court Streets, the burglar fired, and Foster dropped. Mrs. Foster, who had followed her husband, found him still breathing, but he died in her arms unable to speak. The crime remains unsolved.
"John N. Foster, for all his severity-a quality not disapproved in a school man of the 1870's-was an educator of high rank and accomplishment. Ludington schools progressed during his superintendency. He set for them a standard that demanded progress. With Luther Foster and other education-minded men on the board, the schools moved forward under the first superintendent 's efforts. Testing them by the leadership they produced, the schools of the seventies were excellent."

What's at Stake?
"Plans are nothing…planning is everything"
—– Dwight D. Eisenhower
In today's highly competitive marketplace, businesses must be prepared to keep pace against a variety of challenges such as downturns in the economy, ever-increasing competition, fragile customer loyalty, and a host of other difficulties that make it tough to sustain profitability and remain viable. While these challenges are indeed difficult, businesses by and large expect they will be faced in a normal operating environment, where people, systems, facilities and records remain intact.
But a question that must be asked is "Would your business be prepared to face these challenges under abnormal circumstances, such as after a disaster strikes? Has your team prepared for such conditions? Are you personally ready?"
Along with routine operational challenges, each day organizations are exposed to a wide variety of threats including natural disasters, technological disasters, biological disasters and human threats. These issues bring about additional challenges that could adversely affect corporate objectives. Remember, regardless of the operating environment, someone very important assumes you have this covered (i.e., customers, shareholders, regulators, board members).
The best defense against these threats is to develop a comprehensive testing process that exercises all elements of the global business continuity program. A proven process at the core of the testing program is the conduct of a tabletop exercise.
Setting the Stage
"Strong convictions precede great actions"
—– James Freeman Clarke
Getting your team fully involved in the process of planning and testing crisis management and incident response actions requires support from the highest levels of the organization. Absent buy-in and support from executive management, team members may not fully embrace the concept of globally preparing their business unit (and the organization as a whole) to respond to an emergency. These tabletop exercise sessions provide an opportunity to identify and address weaknesses in the program in advance of need.
Making sure all of the organization's business units are represented at the exercise broadens the scope of the session and best assures that key aspects of the current program are adequately examined. Again, having management sponsorship ensures that the session is appropriately prioritized and given due consideration by all of the participants.
As the concept of a tabletop exercise is introduced to the business continuity team members, it is best presented as a team building session that allows for problem solving in a relaxed environment. The goal is to lessen anxiety and set the expectation that the environment is non-threatening.
Some specific points of understanding that should be shared with the participants in advance of the exercise may include:
– The session is a "no fault" environment; varying viewpoints, even disagreements are expected.
– There are no wrong answers…everyone's opinion will be considered.
– The session will focus on problem solving. Real value will be found in suggestions and recommended actions that support continued growth of the program
– This is a great opportunity to understand the plans of other teams in response to a simulated event.
Setting the stage in advance better prepares the participants to fully engage in the session.
Building Your Strategy
"Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time"
—– Andrew H Glasgow
After the stage is set with the participants and management, the focus shifts to actually designing and building the exercise strategy. As you address this step, consider the following key issues:
– Which high value systems/applications/processes should be included in the exercise?
– What criteria will be used when selecting areas for testing (e.g., loss of people, facility access, IT infrastructure, critical records, etc.)
– Should the event include outside support entities such as vendors/emergency services personnel/board members/etc?
– How do we balance exercise complexity with audience competency?
– Should the exercise be held on site or off site?
– How long will the exercise last?
– With whom should we share the results?
Establishing the core components of the exercise brings a structured process to the actual development of the exercise scenario. Using the strategy as a roadmap, the facilitator can focus on developing a simulated incident that benefits the learning environment and maximizes the time investment of everyone involved in the exercise.
Developing the Scenario
"Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures."
—– Jessamyn West
Now that the stage has been set and the strategy developed, attentions turn to developing the actual exercise scenario. In doing so, keep the following key points in mind:
1. Use a realistic scenario
While some may be tempted to use their creative imaginations, it is always best to use a scenario that is realistic and relevant to the current operating environment. The participants will buy-in more fully if the scenario is believable and represents an event that could actually affect their area of responsibility.
2. Use a scenario that includes changing circumstances over various points in time
In an actual disaster, events can and will change over the course of the recovery, often without warning. The value of the exercise will grow if the scenario also includes simulated changing events that closely mirror this type of fluid environment. For instance:
– What would happen if a member of the team provided a statement to the press that was not approved by management nor verified for accuracy?
– What if the scenario involved a regional event that affected some staff members' ability to report to work? How will this compound the effects of the disaster event?
– What if the event was a weather-related emergency and a second occurrence of a similar event was forecasted to occur before recovery from the initial event was complete?
3. Avoid overpopulating the scenario with unsolvable problems
In all but a few cases, it would be a mistake to start the presentation with a scenario that involves the complete and simultaneous loss of all key assets (people, records, facilities, IT infrastructure). The audience can become frustrated and may not be inclined to fully participate in the session discussions, especially if they haven't previously participated in other simulated events of this type. What works best is a progressive testing strategy that challenges the participants with increasingly complex scenarios as the program evolves over time.
The ultimate goal of the exercise is to raise awareness of exposures and plan for business unit recovery by working through a simulated live disaster event. Through this effort, management will be able to gauge the level of preparedness among the teams and the organization as a whole.
Conducting the Exercise
"Chance favors the prepared mind."
—- Louis Pasteur
1. Establish Objectives
Once you have gathered the team together to conduct the exercise, it is important to establish the objectives for the session. In other words, tell the participants what the session intends to accomplish. Some key focus areas include:
– Improving the understanding of requisite business recovery responses during a crisis event.
– Identifying opportunities for improvement of preparedness efforts among the teams/team plans.
– Identifying interdependencies among the business units and 3rd party service providers (critical work inflows and work outflows).
– Increasing awareness of business impacts resulting from uncontrollable events inside or outside the organization.
The goal is to better familiarize team leaders with emergency response actions and the recovery processes documented in each of their respective plans. Short of responding to an actual emergency, there is no better way of reaching this level of understanding.
2. Set the Ground Rules
To maximize the effectiveness of the session, establish some simple ground rules for the participants such as:
– Silence cell phones and other mobile devices during the session.
– Accept that the circumstances surrounding the event are real.
– Inform the participants that portions of the scenario may be adjusted during the session to adapt to the needs of exercise.
– Some issues may be tabled for further discussion later if they cannot be settled within a reasonable amount of time during the exercise.
Be sure that everyone is aware of these rules before the session begins. This will limit distractions and enhance the quality of the session.
3. Conducting the Session
– As the participants arrive for the session, they should sign an attendance roster. This provides both internal (management) and external (regulators/board members) stakeholders with a means of knowing which business units are represented at the session.
– Provide an opportunity for interactive dialogue as the scenario unfolds. Having the presenter pose some leading questions is a good way of getting this dialogue started.
– Make sure that someone is assigned to take notes throughout the session. The information exchange is extremely valuable and is a good source of input for the next maintenance of the plans/program.
– If the session is expected to last more than 1 hour make sure time is built in for a break.
– After the session and before the participants depart, have them complete a post exercise questionnaire to capture their thoughts regarding the quality of the session and any suggestions they have for improving the program. Some topics include:
– Plan/program strengths
– Opportunities for improvement
– Their opinion of the quality of the session
– Suggestions for future exercise scenarios
Issues captured on these surveys can also be used as input for the next maintenance of the plan/program.
Follow up and Issue Assignment
"The only source of knowledge is experience"
—- Albert Einstein
Concluding the Tabletop Exercise
1. After the Exercise
– Review notes taken during the exercise and the surveys completed after the exercise. Categorize issues and assign them to the appropriate issue manager.
– Set dates for completion and/or reporting on resolution progress.
– Make sure findings are shared with all of the teams.
2. Follow up, Follow up, Follow up
– Follow up with issue managers at agreed upon dates/times.
– Where issues cannot or will not be resolved, include them in a report to executive management. This will ensure that top executives are aware of any unmitigated risks and can determine if the issues are within corporate risk tolerance levels.
3. Summary
Our experience has taught us:
– Tabletop exercises, as with any other successful business continuity initiative, yield the most value if sponsored by executive management.
– When properly executed, tabletop exercises can lead to significant improvements in the global program.
– Organizations are best prepared to respond to an actual emergency if they regularly exercise their plans.
– Through the conduct of tabletop exercises, even the most seasoned organizations uncover previously unforeseen weaknesses.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! (And a three day late Pi Day!)
I know many of you out there did your celebrating over the weekend, but here is a recipe to close out your festivities.
As I thought about what to make for my St. Patrick's day post, I toyed with a few ideas. 1) Put green food coloring in everything. 2) Make corned beef and cabbage (but I don't have a crockpot, and it is more of an Irish-American meal). Finally settling on 3) Shepard's Pie.
But how was I going to make my Shepherd's Pie different from the other recipes out there? (and St. Patrick's Day appropriate) I decided it would be with the infusion of beer! By boiling the potatoes in lager and using Guinness to make the sauce; I have created a savory version of what people in the US call a 'Black and Tan.' However, that term in Ireland carries with it a negatively loaded connotation associated with the British military. In Ireland the layering of dark beer and light beer is more frequently referred to as a 'Half and Half.'
Now Shepherd's pie is a traditional dish originating in northern England, Ireland, and Scotland (where exactly is hard to say). All areas have strong livestock raising traditions. And still is a popular meal in Ireland I did take a short cut by using a bag of frozen peas & carrots (but if you're going to use frozen peas might as well save yourself some work and use frozen carrots as well). If you want to use fresh carrots; just dice them into small pieces and saute them in the pan for 5 minutes, before you add the onions and the beef.
Also, if you want to use ground beef (or turkey or venison) that's fine too. Some purists would argue that Shepherd's pie made with beef is really 'cottage pie.' But when in a gravy with vegetables, covered in mashed potatoes, and baked; the average person probably won't be able to tell the difference. And for this recipe I also had to make a substitution. I was unable to find Harp (and Irish lager) in North Yorkshire. True I've only checked 4 stores, but I don't believe in making unnecessary work for myself; so I've substituted in Cobra, the lager that was already in my fridge. Also the recipe for the potatoes made more than I needed to cover my casserole (I froze the leftovers for a future meal). But if you are using a 9×13 pan you may need the full amount to cover the wider area.
Here is what you will need:
Peel and chop potatoes. Put them into a pot of water and add lager and bring to a boil.
Chop onion and saute in oil until soft.
Add lamb and cook until browned. Then drain off any fat.
Add butter to pan and then add flour.
Add rosemary, thyme, tomato paste, chicken broth, Guinness, Worcester sauce. Simmer until thickened.
While the lamb simmers, drain potatoes and add butter back to the warm pot.
Roughly mash the potatoes and then add milk and continue to mash.
Add shredded cheese and chopped chives.
Put lamb into casserole dish and top with a layer of potatoes.
Bake in a 350° F (175° C) oven for 20-30 minutes until the top is browned.
Recipe serves 6
For meat:
- 2 tbsp of oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 lb (400 g) of ground lamb
- 1 lb (400 g) of frozen peas and carrots
- 2 tbsp of butter
- 3 tbsp of flour (or flour substitute)
- 1 tsp of dried thyme
- 1 tsp of dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp of tomato paste
- 1 can of Guinness
- 1 cup (250 mL) of chicken broth
- 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
For potatoes:
- 4 medium/large potatoes
- 1 pint of lager, divided
- 2 tbsp of butter
- 1 cup (200 mL) of milk
- 1 bunch of fresh chives
- 4 oz (115 g) of cheddar cheese, shredded
- Peel and dice potatoes. Put into a pot with lager and 4 cups of water and boil.
- While potatoes are boiling, heat oil in non-stick pan on medium-high and saute onion for 5 minutes until translucent (don't brown)
- Add in lamb to pan and brown.
- Drain off any fat in the pan and add frozen veg. Saute until no longer frozen.
- Add butter to the pan and melt. Then add flour, thyme, and rosemary and mix through.
- Add tomato paste, Guinness, and broth and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Once potatoes are cooked drain. Put butter in the warm pot to melt. Return potatoes to the pot and start to mash, adding in milk a little at a time. Once potatoes are mashed mix in chives and cheese.
- Once the meat mixture has reached a thicker consistency, put into greased casserole dish.
- Top meat with potatoes and bake and a pre-heated 350° F oven (175° C) for 20-30 minutes, until the potatoes are brown and the gravy is starting to bubble up.

Cloud computing is basically computing but it is done online. Traditionally, a user would need to install certain software in their computer in order to be able to access its features and use it but it is not a requirement nowadays. These applications can now be used without installation as long as there is an internet connection. If you want to learn more info regarding the important of cloud computing, this article is for you.
Cloud computing is used by people in various ways such as in social media platforms and online banking. This process is now used by majority of online users and before the year 2015 ends, it was estimated that about 90 per cent of the companies in the UK are already utilizing cloud computing. What are its advantages, you ask?
- This is recommended for startup businesses because their bandwidth demands might be growing or is fluctuating. If you need more space, all you have to do is to increase the capacity of the cloud through the remote servers. If you need lesser space, reduction can also be done. This feature is what makes businesses with cloud computing stand out among the rest.
- Disasters are unavoidable but it can be detrimental to a business. This is why recovery should be possible in cases like this. Back-up to your cloud system is easily done and is cheaper compared to actually securing physical data in your office.
- The good thing about cloud computing is that you don't have to worry about the servers because it is the job of the supplier. They are the ones that send regular software updates as well as security updates. You have one task off your shoulder because you don't have to maintain the system.
- Cost-effective. For a startup business, buying their hardware can be expensive. Cloud computing is an affordable alternative. All you have to do is pay and everything will be set up for you. For more info regarding cloud computing, just contact your local supplier. They willbe able to explain to you the workflow of the cloud system and how to use the application to your advantage.

House Republicans summoned Attorney General Loretta Lynch to Capitol Hill Tuesday to testify on Hillary Clinton's emails, but House Democrats were not interested in further discussing a topic they believe has already been exhausted.
Republicans intended to use the "Oversight of the Department of Justice" hearing to learn more about why Lynch closed the investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of state. They seek a perjury investigation from the department, alleging Clinton lied while testifying to Congress on the topic.
But instead of questioning Lynch on that issue, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee used the opportunity to discuss the recent shootings of black men in Louisana and Minnesota, the fatal shootings of police in Dallas, gun violence, and the need for criminal justice reform. The ranking Democrat on the committee, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., berated Republicans for continuing to harp on Clinton's emails.
"There are only three working days, some count it less, left this month, and then we adjourn for seven weeks. How will my colleagues on the other side of the aisle choose to fill that time? Today, apparently Secretary Hillary Clinton's email takes precedence over gun violence and civil rights," Conyers said.
"Let us be clear: The criminal investigation is closed. There was no intentional wrongdoing. [FBI] Director [James] Comey, whose reputation for independence and integrity is unquestioned, has explained his reasoning in great detail. If any of my colleagues are not yet convinced, it is because they do not want to be convinced, and in their zeal to call Secretary Clinton a liar or maybe even a criminal, despite the fact and despite the law, I fear we will have missed an opportunity to engage with you on more worthy subjects," Conyers told Lynch.
Conyers called on the House to make criminal justice reform a priority, and said the committee had reached agreements on sentencing and prison reform. He also said Democratics and Republicans were close to an agreement on policing reform legislation.
"Questions about the use of lethal force by police are not new, but the nation is newly engaged in the issue after Ferguson, Staten Island, Cleveland, North Charleston and Baltimore," Conyers said, listing several high profile instances of violence against black people in the past several years. "Over the past week, we saw the same sad themes play out in Baton Rouge and Minnesota as well as the horrific killing of five police officers in Dallas. I believe it's more critical than ever that we reach a final agreement on police accountability and standards."
Lynch announced last week no federal charges would be brought against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Clinton. Republicans were outraged that despite what Comey called Clinton's "extremely careless" handling of classified information, he was not recommending Lynch indict Clinton. The attorney general had announced she would follow the recommendation of the bureau when it came to prosecuting Clinton.
Comey was questioned in a lengthy House hearing last week on his decision not recommend an indictment.
In her opening statement, Lynch did not mention Clinton or her emails, but spoke about recent police and gun violence and said her department would work with other law enforcement agencies and police departments around the country to ensure the safety of officers while building "bonds of trust and cooperation" with the community.
Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., also raised the issue of gun violence during Tuesday's hearing.
"Exactly one month ago today, a lone gunman killed 49 people and wounded more than 50 others in an LGBT nightclub in Orlando. Mass shootings are now an all too common occurrence in this country," Nadler said. "As you know, every day on average, nearly 300 Americans are shot ... This is a distinctly American problem."

Key West World Championship Offshore Power Boat Races 2016
Race week began in Key West with the arrival of world class offshore Powerboats for the 36th annual Key West World Championship Powerboat Races. This Offshore Powerboat Racing event is scheduled over 3 race days and is one of the most incredible offshore power boat races from a spectator's perspective. The boats scream by at over 100mph chased by helicopters within 100 feet of the shoreline lined with spectators. This is the final race of the season for Super Boat International's annual offshore powerboat racing series. Participants from around the globe come here to compete for the World Championship title. Like all festivals in Key West race week starts off with a boat parade down Duval St.
Visit my Key West Powerboat website at: http://KeyWestPowerboats.me
On Wednesday Race Day 1 we caught the races from Fort Zachary Taylor always a good spot near turn #2 where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Gulf of Mexico often creating turbulent conditions.
On Friday Race Day 2 of the Key West 2014 World Championship Offshore Powerboat Races we set up our chairs along the Outer Mole near the finish line and the races were exciting as ever. Sunny blue skies and calm waters was the backdrop for today over as many of the winners from Day 1 tried to continue their winning streak hoping to set them up for the finals on Sunday. Today was a day of attrition as a number of boats broke down not able to finish the race.
Seven World Champions will be crowned on Sunday which is the finals where the points are doubled and the course is substantially lengthened with some boats doing 13 laps. The World Champion must be both fast and avoid breakdowns during this punishing round of races. Today we set up our chairs at Fort Zachary Taylor for some of the best race viewing. Although the water was pretty flat the Pro Floors boat from New Zealand flipped at turn 2 while the WHM Superboat ran over the top of the upside down boat. Luckily no one was hurt. Several other boats in each class did not finish due to breakdowns and spinning out. All in all it was another very exciting race week in Key West.
