As Boomers leave, empowerment could help fill void
EDITOR'S NOTE: Operations software management provider Wonderware continued its growth this past year, and its President, Sudipta Bhattacharya, sat down during the company's WonderWorld 2008 Global Conference in Las Vegas with InTech Editor Gregory Hale to talk about moves the company has made and other industry issues.
InTech: How much of an affect will the baby boomers leaving the industry have on manufacturers and your company?
Bhattacharya: I think that is something everyone is concerned with. We have talked to a lot of different customers, and this huge engineering knowledge base that exists is absolutely something our customers and manufactures are concerned about. It is not an easy problem to resolve. Technology is part of the answer, but along with that answer, some fundamental changes need to happen, like more focus on engineering motivating people to join engineering. There are several things that need to happen to solve that problem. Technology is one thing. Better engineering education is another, and empowerment of workers is a third thing. If you empower these people and give them the way to act and give them the information that allows them to act on and make decisions they are able to make, that is a big step change.
InTech: How much can technology play into gathering as much knowledge as possible?
Bhattacharya: A lot. Will human intervention be necessary? Absolutely. I think it depends on what functions are happening. But there are certain areas where technology can do the whole bit, but there are other areas here human intervention is going to be necessary. If you are running a simulation on a distillation column, that is a pretty deterministic process. That is where you have a simulation package that is designed for you. That is something where you don't need someone with 15 years of experience. On the other side, if I have 25 pieces of inventory and I have three customers that have come in and ordered 10 pieces, you will have one customer that is five pieces short. Can technology solve that problem? No.
InTech: How much of your product innovation comes from customers?
Bhattacharya: I think given the way we are organized as a company, we don't own a sales channel and a services channel, so we work with distributors and systems integrators and that is our face with customers. So, a significant part of our product roadmap is based on feedback we have collected from them (distributors and system integrators), and that is actually coming from the customers.
InTech: Do users get the most out of their
Bhattacharya: Some people do, but the reality in the industry is that there could be a set of people that have invested in the technology and they haven't spent time learning it. Then these people leave and a new set of people come in, and sometimes it is a challenge for them to go through the training process. But as these people that got trained are leaving, a new set of people come in many times new training processes don't exist.
InTech: What do you see the engineer's job looking like in three to five years?
Bhattacharya: I think it will be totally different. I think it will be a mix of understanding of technology, engineering, change management, and globalization.
InTech: How has globalization changed the
Bhattacharya: I think significantly. You can not be competitive if you don't have a perspective on globalization. That will actually help you focus on your core and allow you to compete better. And I think companies are realizing that there is a particular part of the business that is core, and everything else is really not a differentiator. So why not give that differentiator to someone else so you can focus on the core. And globalization is the ability to define your core and what parts you can give to others.
InTech: Do companies have a hard time figuring out what their core is?
Bhattacharya: I don't think companies have a hard time figuring out what their core is. I think companies have a hard time figuring out what to give up.
InTech: Do you see differences in an engineer's job regionally? For instance, an engineer's job in the U.S. being the same as it is in Europe or Asia?
Bhattacharya: I think it is increasingly becoming similar. As you have all the developing nations and the brick nations and they are all building state of the art products in the U.S. or Europe and the products are strikingly similar. So, with very similar products, the job of the engineer is becoming familiar.
InTech: So, an engineer can go from a plant in Iowa to a plant in Germany and not miss a beat?
Bhattacharya: If you look at how people organize their jobs; if I have a naphtha cracker that I have procured from a particular supplier and there is another company that has a naphtha cracker from the same supplier, you can actually advertise I need an engineer that has worked on this type of technology. Naphtha crackers from that supplier across all companies are going to be the same.
InTech: What is the big issue that keeps users up at night?
Bhattacharya: How do I balance the need for productivity and the need for innovation? Sometimes the need for productivity and the need for innovation pull in opposite directions. I have to be able to innovate fast enough to get that premium in the market and help engage our customers that we are better than the rest because that is money in our pocket; but at the same time when I am innovating, I cannot afford to lose sight of efficiency. So, balancing that is a crucial thing people always grapple with because the tendency is for both of those to pull in opposite directions.
InTech: How much has the dollar's decline hurt your company?
Bhattacharya: I think about 40% of our business is in Europe, so we have a natural hedge. I think we are very diverse in our revenues in all parts of the world. If we were predominately in the U.S. or Europe, the situation would be different.

Phil Miller covered three seasons of Twins baseball, but that was at a different ballpark for a different newspaper. Now Miller returns to the baseball beat after joining the Star Tribune as the Gopher football writer in 2010, and he won't miss the dingy dome for a minute. In addition to the Twins and Gophers, Miller covered the Utah Jazz and the NBA for six years at The Salt Lake Tribune.
As cold as it will be today at Target Field, it could be a lot worse, according to Joe Mauer. The Twins' catcher said the coldest professional game he ever played was also a season opener, at Class A Quad Cities -- that would make it April 2002.
"It was opening night, and we ended up going 17 innings into the night," said Mauer, who remembers catching all 17 innings. "But we won. We were probably the first ones off the field. Shook everybody's hands and went inside."
Justin Morneau wasn't at that game, but he remembers the 2001 opener in Quad Cities also being the coldest game he's ever played. "I bet you it was in the teens, with the wind chill -- blowing snow and freezing cold," Morneau said. "But you know what? We survived."
The Twins hope to do that today against Justin Verlander, the Tigers' ace, a former MVP and Cy Young winner, who oddly enough has never won any of his five previous Opening Day starts. Verlander is 12-7 with a 3.21 ERA against the Twins in his career -- he's 7-1 with a 1.70 ERA over the past three seasons -- and has just signed a $180 million contract.
"If anybody has an advantage in the weather, it's the pitcher, because they control the tempo. They're moving, their heart is pumping, they're out there with the flow and staying loose every single pitch. Whether it affects him, I have no idea," Morneau said of Verlander. "We've seen over the last couple years, early, he won't pitch as hard. Later in the game when he needs it, he'll dial it up. Whether or not he's able to do that, I guess we'll find out."
And Morneau, who grew up in Canada, knows how to prepare for the low temperatures -- it's 26 as I write this, with the wind blowing toward right field.
"Sometimes you put too many layers on, you feel like you can't move," he said. "I'm just going to put hot sauce all over and throw some long sleeves on and some long johns and go out there and run around and enjoy it. We talked about it a little bit. We have all the cold weather gear now. It's not really an issue, I don't think."
Ron Gardenhire and Scott Ullger are in the outfield at the moment, hitting fly balls (or trying to -- accuracy isn't easy) off the wall to give the outfielders some experience with the caroms. Here are the lineups for the first game of the 2013 season, which opens at 3:10 p.m.:
Austin Jackson, CF
Torii Hunter, RF
Miguel Cabrera, 3B
Prince Fielder, 1B
Victor Martinez, DH
Andy Dirks, LF
Jhonny Peralta, SS
Alex Avila, C
Omar Infante, 2B
Justin Verlander, P
Aaron Hicks, CF
Joe Mauer, C
Josh Willingham, LF
Justin Morneau, 1B
Ryan Doumit, DH
Trevor Plouffe, 3B
Chris Parmelee, RF
Brian Dozier, 2B
Pedro Florimon, SS
Vance Worley, P
Justin Morneau got his way.
The Twins' slugger sent a text message to Ron Gardenhire on Monday after getting a glimpse of Tuesday's lineup. Morneau was listed as the Twins' designated hitter for today's game, so he texted Gardenhire asking to play first base instead.
Sure enough, Morneau is listed in the official lineup here in Dunedin as the cleanup hitter, and first baseman. Chris Colabello, originally scheduled to play first, is now the DH.
Now, Morneau just needs a game to play in.
The Twins' buses arrived in Dunedin during a pouring rain, and more is in the forecast. The wet weather let up for a moment, and ushers began wiping off the seats and the grounds crew began pulling the tarp off the field in hopes of holding batting practice, and eventually a game. But the rain quickly resumed, and the field is covered once more. It's too early to tell whether the Twins and Blue Jays will play their noon CT exhibition game.
There's plenty of interesting storylines if they do, beginning with the mere presence of Morneau and Joe Mauer. Both made the long bus ride here, a rare occurrence this early in the spring, but an indication of how much importance they place on being ready for the World Baseball Classic, which starts in 10 days.
Meanshile, Trevor Plouffe is in the lineup for the first time this spring, his sore calf apparently healed.
Mike Pelfrey, whose absolute confidence that he'll be ready when the season starts, is scheduled to throw the first couple of innings, another big step on his journey back from Tommy John surgery.
And all three major candidates for the Twins' center field job are in the lineup today. Aaron Hicks is leading off in center, Darin Mastroianni is batting second and playing left, and Joe Benson bats seventh and plays right.
Here's the Twins' lineup: Hicks CF; Mastroianni LF; Mauer C; Morneau 1B; Plouffe 3B; Colabello DH; Benson RF; Dozier 2B; Florimon SS. Pelfrey P, followed by some combination of Pressly, Robertson, Roenicke, Wood, Slama, Perdomo, Tonkin or Thielbar.

CLEVELAND -- Tsuyoshi Nishioka was as relaxed as I've ever seen him before Monday night's game against the Indians.
There was no sign of the jitters that were painfully evident as soon as he hit the field, going 0-for-5 with two errors.
The game itself reminded me of his 2011 debut on Opening Day in Toronto. The ball found him right away, and he instantly looked frazzled. Tonight's first-inning error was an all-timer.
But for what it's worth, Nishioka seemed completely composed before the game, after arriving from Class AAA Rochester. He did plenty of interviews after leaving Japan for the major leagues last year, but the sessions never produced as much laughter as the one he conducted Monday.
Besides focusing on baseball in Rochester, Nishioka worked on overcoming the language barrier, too.
"I think I learned a lot of English -- and Spanish as well," Nishioka said in words translated from Japanese by Ryo Shinkawa. "I learned a lot of English, so I'll start reading newspapers now, and I'll know what you guys are writing. So don't be too hard on me."
Nishioka, 28, smiled as he said this. To prove his point, he answered some of the American media's questions in English. Asked if he was happy in Rochester, Nishioka quickly said, "Not happy."
He paused to let the laughter subside, then explained in Japanese: "The staff down there was great. Geno [Manager Gene Glynn] and Bruno [hitting coach Tom Brunansky] -- I think they had to do a lot for me to keep my motivation up and maintain it throughout the season."
Last year was a struggle for Nishioka on and off the field. He broke his leg and struggled when he returned, posting a .278 on-base percentage and making 12 errors in 68 games. His then-wife had their first baby in August, and the couple divorced over the offseason.
In Rochester, he gradually found more of a comfort level for the American game, not to mention American culture. His batting average by month went: .203 (April), .205 (May), .255 (June), .298 (July) and .071 (in three August games).
He committed six errors in 70 games at second base, and three errors in 14 games at shortstop. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said the plan is to give Nishioka regular playing time at second.
"That's what he was playing down there and playing very well," Gardenhire said before the game. "All the reports have been that he's playing fantastic baseball and having quality at-bats and playing solid defense. So I'm excited to see if he can carry that right into here."
After the game, Gardenhire chalked up Nishioka's first-inning error to nerves and complimented him on his at-bats. The manager sounded undeterred in his plan to keep giving Nishioka playing time, but you have to wonder how long the Twins will let this go.
They are playing their best baseball of the season, and now they've got a guy who looked completely out of sorts patrolling the middle infield. That might change. Perhaps Nishioka will compose himself like he did in Rochester, but I'd have to think this must happen sooner rather than later.
Bill Smith never really left the Twins, and now he's officially back as Assistant to the President and General Manager.
He spent four years as the GM before the Twins replaced him with Terry Ryan in November. The Twins immediately began discussing this new position with Smith and gave him some time to think about it.
Smith was seen at Target Field multiple times during the transition. He'll begin working under his new title on Jan. 1. Among his tasks:
* He'll continue to work with Lee County, fostering relationships he's been building since the Twins spring training facility opened in 1991. The Twins hope to do some major renovations on the facility for 2013.
* Assessing the team's player development in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, etc.
* Smith helped lead a seamless transition from the Metrodome to Target Field, and the Twins will have him lead their efforts on developing and maintaining their baseball-related facilities (Target Field, Hammond Stadium, etc.).
* Smith, a longtime member of baseball's minor-league advisory board, will work with Twins minor league director Jim Rantz on maintaining relationships with the team's affiliates.
"All of us with the ballclub are thrilled to have Bill Smith staying with the Twins family," team president Dave St. Peter said in the announcement. "His many contributions during a 25-plus year tenure with the Twins has directly resulted in much of the success this franchise has enjoyed on and off the field. To that end, we are excited to have this opportunity to have him on board with hopes of maximizing his many talents."
The Twins announced their 2011 Diamond Awards winners today, based on the voting conducted by the Twin Cities chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
All winners will be honored at the seventh annual Diamond Awards dinner on Jan. 26, 2012 at Target Field, with proceeds benefiting the University of Minnesota's research on ataxia, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and ALS.

ANAHEIM, CALIF. -- You've seen the replays over and over: Jered Weaver fires the ball toward Alex Avila's head. He keeps walking off the field because he knows he's getting ejected, and he is screaming at home-plate ump Hunter Wendelstedt, so angrily he needs to be restrained.
Pitchers should never throw at a batter's head intentionally. It's that simple. But it would have been absolutely understandable if Weaver had thrown at somebody below the neck considering the context of everything that happened Sunday afternoon in Detroit.
Carlos Guillen asked to get a teammate buzzed when he showed him up -- big time -- on his home run.
Weaver (14-5, 1.88 ERA), who was locked in a terrific pitcher's duel with Justin Verlander, was pretty unsentimental. Avila is the same guy who caught him in the All-Star Game.
MLB handed Weaver a six-game suspension Tuesday, and he appealed. "I wouldn't do anything different," he said. Mark Whicker brings some interesting perspective in today's Orange County Register:
Every baseball player has an intimate, long-standing relationship with failure. And since failure is so communal, players do not celebrate actions that become someone else's failure. That is known as "showing someone up" and it is a major felony on a baseball field.
"Guillen did everything but a cartwheel," [Angels Manager Mike] Scioscia said. "The culture of this game has changed a bit, where hitters do stand and watch their home runs. It's more of an accepted practice. I do know that in my first year, which was 1980, that was not happening."
Whicker and Scioscia also make a good point about the overreaction toward Erick Aybar's bunt leading off the eighth inning, when Verlander was still working on a no-hitter:
Never mind that Aybar is an excellent bunter, the Angels were still close, and the act of swinging away wasn't working particularly well.
"I think the day that we stop trying to win a ballgame when we're down 3-0 is the day we take the uniform off and go home and let somebody else do it," Scioscia said, with emphasis.
What a game that was Sunday. It's one people will be talking about for a long time. I'll check back later this afternoon with the starting lineups from Angel Stadium.

Physicians, Chiropractors Still Out of Alignment
For some primary care doctors, hearing that a patient has consulted with a chiropractor can be a real pain in the neck.
MDs have been clashing with DCs (chiropractors) for years over their abilities and qualifications for certain procedures, and there's no sign of the debate letting up any time soon. In fact, as the national demand for spine care accelerates as quickly as an aging population's aches and pains, the chiropractor and physician debate over care is bound to intensify.
There's already a skirmish brewing over the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which chiropractors cite as a path toward improved reimbursements. Physicians, predictably, are putting up resistance.
A Fight as Big as Texas
But there's been no longer or bigger clash between the two maladjusted professions than in Texas, where litigation between the Texas Medical Association and the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners is underway. At the heart of arguments by physicians is whether chiropractic work should be allowed to cross the line into the practice of medicine, in general and specific procedures.
One case centers on whether chiropractors may perform electromyography needle biopsies or manipulation under anesthesia, or whether such practices should be conducted only by licensed medical doctors. The case has been bouncing around various levels of courts in Texas, with appeals and reversals along the way.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
John Jaffe (4/5/2013 at 1:32 AM)
The only rational way to resolve this long-running debate is to hold ALL healthcare providers to the same standard[INVALID]evidence for efficacy of their treatments and credible proof that they have adequate training to carry out these treatments. Opposition to chiropractic by physicians isn't only, or even mainly, on economic grounds as it's often portrayed by chiropractors. There is legitimate and well-founded concern and considerable empirical evidence of chiropractors performing tests and procedures for which there is no demonstrated efficacy. And the issue is economic as well[INVALID]for whatever reason(s), some chiropractors are notorious for prolonged repetitive "treatments", often of dubious value, with attendant large costs. If the feds are serious about keeping medical costs down, all serious students of the issue agree that the provision of the right care in the right setting by the right people, is the most cost-effective way to do so.

This latest health issue has nothing to do with Patterson's recent medical history, the which required brain surgery during the offseason after suffering seizures last year. Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder assured that Patterson was "doing fine" and was in stable condition.

It's been exactly 2 years…
Life has been a whirlwind of ups and downs, changes and challenges. I have only recently started to think about my old blog and decided to check it out today, wouldn't you know the last post was on May 22, 2011…. I can't even describe how fast the time has flown.
As far as fitness goes I am still trying to find my way. I have recently found a treatment that brings some relief from the IT band group of pain I have been working through. Bowen therapy, it works, it's easy, it doesn't hurt like the f'in foam roller devil. Now I just need to find another therapist as my guy has decided to go west for the winter, yes I said winter in May…. I have been living in Australia for the past 18 months.
I have been able to maintain a 30-35 lb weight loss since my big loss of 80 lbs. I am happy about that but I would like to crack the crust on how to get back down again and be able to maintain that loss in a healthy manner. Not that the weight loss wasn't healthy the last time it is that the weight gain was caused by a slip back in to unhealthy habits. I am vulnerable to stress eating and using food as a distraction. Trying to use old episodes of Gossip Girl as a distraction right now, just have to make sure I am on my bike on the windtrainer not on the couch.
We have moved to one of the most beautiful places on the planet, Australia. I will say that life is different when you move somewhere to live not just come to visit. The realities of leaving friends and family sink in. I take quite a long time to connect to people so it was hard to leave the friendships I had cultivated. Australians I must say are quick to welcome you once you break the ice, especially triathlete types.
I have only done one triathlon since being here and that was a sub sprint. It was weird that everyone thought it was my first ever and I was such a newbie. I had this completely different life in Canada with some little successes in running races, mini triathlons but now I was back to being overweight and slow with no cred… Could it be a good thing? One thing I am not is a quitter. I was often the slowest person on the group rides with Impact Multisport, but they never made me feel bad. Why can't I give it a go here? Early mornings perhaps, yuck 5 am wake ups.
There have been a few messages from the cosmos that I need to get my proverbial shit together. My beloved Dad passed away very suddenly of a massive stroke, no warning at all. Still working on that one. A friend recently passed away at a very young age and it has given me more pause to think about what is important. A perfect body is not something I have ever really been obsessed with but I would like to have a very functional one that moves well in space and wears clothes comfortably. Not too much to ask? I would also like to be able to run comfortably again but if that is not in the cards right now there is surely more activities that I can do with ease.
This is my 40th year and it seems a bit trite but I would like to have a few things sorted out by the end of it. Healthy body, career direction (that's another long story), harmonious family life.

Ah, in less than a week, it's all hearts and flowers. And chocolate.
I confess that my sweet tooth has dulled a bit through the years but I occasionally dig far back into the kitchen cupboard where I keep some chocolate. I've gone so far as to scoop a handful of milk chocolate chips from the bag if the cravings get really bad.
But I'm convinced that chocolate lovers of the world need no excuse to indulge now and then.
Valentine's Day is as good a reason as ever. And it's less than a week away.
I still remember my parents — when I was in elementary school — helping me construct those elaborate boxes that classmates filled with Valentine's Day cards. One, in particular, stands out. It was first covered in white paper, then had layers of red lace and a frilly red bow on top. I thought it was the prettiest Valentine's Day card box I had ever seen. Funny how those things stay in our memory.
Now I'm a little more interested in the heart-shaped boxes that contain any variety of chocolate with any variety of centers — except nougat.
If you love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate, then the Rocky Road bars in today's Culinary Conversation will especially appeal.
Another favorite combo is cherry and chocolate, and with triple types of the latter, the cake is an ultimate winner.
I love the fact that the black bottom cupcakes are in smaller form, which makes them especially kid friendly. The recipe is from a cookbook compiled by members of a club I once belonged to. The contributor was a wonderful baker and the cupcakes are heavenly.
Speaking of contributors, your opportunity to participate in Culinary Conversation is only an email or letter away. Your family probably already knows what a great cook or baker you are. So now is the a chance to let your friends, neighbors and co-workers find out, too.

Chapter XXXV
Jeremy woke in the morning the sun was just clearing the horizon he stepped out over a sleeping Tiffany and went to have a look around. No one else was up yet so he took the opportunity to take a little swim before breakfast. He spent almost half an hour exploring the lagoon he was already familiar enough with it on the surface, but he explored the rocky floor of the lagoon there was really not a lot to see a few small coral outcrops and a few bunches of sea urchins. There were a few underwater caves that he noted but did not explore because he didn't trust that he could get out if he went too far. He swam back to the shallows and was met by Shannon on the beach. "What's the matter with Tiffany?" she asked.
"Ask her" Jeremy said and sat down as the other girls started getting food sorted out.
Tiffany got a plate and brought it to Jeremy then she turned to Rachel "Would you please let me eat your pussy?" she asked "Please Rachel I need to eat your pussy please let me she said getting down on her knees and she started to lift Rachel's skirt up with her fingers before Rachel slapped her hand away.
"Why the fuck should I do that you bitch after that performance you put on yesterday, you know damn well we are all drooling for a piece of that."
"Please Rachel I need to eat you I want to suck your pussy" she said her face inches from the other girl's skirt clad crotch.
"No now fuck off what's up with this sudden lesbian crap" Pricilla burst into tears and retreated to the shelter of the cave. Jeremy finished eating the other girls looking a bit confused but he ignored them and went ahead and walked down the path toward the Japanese base.
"What was that all about" Naomi asked as she intercepted him on the path
"That's what I would like to know "Nicole said coming up behind her
"Well…" Jeremy said "That's a tricky question if I tell you it'll spoil the surprise then on the other hand I'm kind of fed up with everyone taking advantage of my good humor as it were?"
"Some kind of punishment?" Nicole asked
"Something like that" Jeremy said as they continued down the path.
"Get on your knees bitch" Pricilla's voice came from a clearing off the path. The three of them looked over some brush to see Pricilla legs splayed her back against a tree Annabel dutifully kneeling between them Pricilla Annabel's hair clutched in one claw as she rubbed her slit against the older woman's face. "You like fucking my dog don't you bitch?"
All that could be heard from a distance was a low moan.
"Norman get some" They heard rose say from behind a tree the dog rushed up behind Annabel and started licking her from clit to ass with his long agile tongue. Rose moved from behind the tree her naked body glistening in the dappled light. All eyes could see Rose's fingers dipping into her dripping slit as the dog mounted Annabel.
"Yeah Take it like the bitch you are" Pricilla said. Annabel simply grunted as the dog pounded her swollen slit like a jackhammer. "Yeah that's it fucking make me cum" Pricilla howled her legs trembling, Rose moved to replace her "now eat my sister you slut Pricilla called out as she caught her breath. They watched as Pricilla reached under Annabel and started pulling her nipples slapping them and squeezing them.
"I gotta pee" rose announced
"Drink her piss bitch" Pricilla said squeezing one of Annabel's breasts in her fist. Both Naomi and Nicole unconsciously rubbed their own breasts. Rose unleashed a stream of yellow fluid into Annabel's mouth "Swallow it you fucking traitor." Annabel did as she was told. Her face and hair streaming wet with urine. She tried to sit up to catch her breath but the weight of the dog on her back and Pricilla's fist on her tit held her in place. No one told you to stop eating pussy cunt. Pricilla said. Annabel pressed her face to Rose's pussy again and she moved vigorously to bring the other girl off. Rose soon collapsed on the sand as her orgasm overwhelmed her. Norman his cock still stuck in the woman's pussy was dragging Annabel across the clearing. Pricilla got up and took hold of the dog, as Annabel groaned I have one more thing to do to you bitch she picked up a bowl of what looked like water. She pulled out a string of fiber from it.
"What's that" Nicole whispered to Jeremy
"No idea" Jeremy whispered back They watched as Pricilla wrapped the strips of fiber around Annabel's nipples.
"Better hope you can get someone to suck those nipples of yours bitch" Pricilla said"That's some strips of hide that I got from the last goat we skinned it'll shrink up and make your nippies fall off it you don't keep it wet. Though I wouldn't mind that too much if they did" Pricilla reached down between Annabel's legs Norman having dislodged himself and she took a handful of the frothy slime of dog cum and girl juice and rubbed it on Annabel's face. "Don't want you getting chapped lips."
"Suck him hard again" Rose said pointing to the dog that was now sitting off to the side of the clearing, licking his still oozing cock. Annabel made to get up
"Crawl like the bitch you are" Pricilla said slapping Annabel on her breast leaving a bright red handprint on it. The other breast was already developing ugly black bruises. Annabel got down on her hands and knees and crawled over to the dog she leaned forward to lick his cock and gagged. "Suck it bitch" Pricilla said pushing her head forward. Norman's enormous cock slowly slipped between Annabel's stretched lips.
"Yeah take him to his balls bitch" Rose said Annabel gagged again as the large cock began to swell and fill her mouth. The dog mounted her face and started humping his balls bouncing merrily again her chin. Then he held still from her gagging and loud swallowing it was obvious the dog was spewing his creamy puppy juice down Annabel's throat. A few minutes later he popped out of her mouth his knot dangling above his lengthy piece of meat something the size of a golf ball now though it was obviously bigger before.
"Fucking wild" Nicole whispered as Naomi took Jeremy and her by the arm and led them down the path. They found their way to the base without incident. Naomi worked on inspecting the Aircraft. Jeremy and Nicole worked on mounting the large propellers. It was about an hour before noon when they finished. There was still the problem of fuel. Naomi laid out on one of the workbenches.
"How about a quick fuck" Naomi asked, "I'm fucking horney as hell"
"Aren't you supposed to wait for your turn" Nicole asked.
"What I don't think he can get me pregnant again no harm no foul."
"I really think you should bring this up with the other girls."
"What and have to fight over this gorgeous monster?" Naomi asked slipping her hand under Jeremy's skirt
"What about me?" Nicole asked you don't think I don't want open access to his cock all the time too… I'd beg him right now to knock me up if I thought for a second he would."
"Oh please just because you get an itch this is all hormones you know what it's like to be pregnant?"
"What you don't think I have hormones too? You don't think this little bun maker isn't screaming to be filled" Nicole asked rubbing her belly
"Girls behave" Jeremy said finally "Look you guys are going to have to work something out we will have to make an announcement at supper or something."
"The hell I will" Naomi said
"If you don't I will" Nicole said
"What makes you think that you're in charge?"
"What makes you think you can think straight with a bun in the oven?"
"I well?"
"You girls settle this I don't care how but I'd prefer you didn't kill each other, we still need each other."
"We don't need all of us," Naomi said
"We do need all of us Naomi I'm not going to let you endanger any of these girls after I have worked so hard to take care of them and saved them"
"Big Jeremy the hero Oooh" Naomi said
"Naomi shut up" Nicole said as Jeremy walked out the door. He was halfway back to camp before the other two caught up.
"I'm sorry Jeremy" Naomi began "I guess I got a little crazy back there"
"Me too" added Nicole "I don't know what it is about being with you makes us want to be with you"
"Look girls I don't care what the problem is lets just make sure it's taken care of. You all need to be have in fact maybe that's what you all should do when we get back is come up with a code of behavior so that we can all get along equitably." Jeremy sighed "I don't like being taken for granted, I don't like being taken advantage of and I don't like fighting, and we really have to do something about Pricilla, that girl has a mean streak a mile wide."
"Your not wrong there" Nicole said Naomi nodded in agreement. When the three of them arrived back at the camp Tiffany came running up and dropped to her knees
"Master forgive me. I have been bad if you wish to punish me further I will accept whatever punishment you desire for me. I neglected to let Rachel taste your wonderful cock and drink your wonderful seed." She was crying there in front of Jeremy he took her by the hand gently and tried to pull her to her feet. "Please master I am so unworthy to be your slave I have failed you in so many ways." Jeremy looked over at Naomi who just rolled her eyes.
"Tiffany I never asked you to be my slave and I only gave you a penance because you had apparently forgotten what you told me and you got greedy"
"I know I admit it I was greedy I love you Jeremy I love your cock I want you baby so badly it hurts. I am so unworthy of you."
Jeremy sighed "very well Tiffany you are forgiven but I expect you to help keep the others in line especially Shannon and perhaps also Pricilla and Rose."
"Of course master it will be my pleasure to keep order to remind the others of how you saved us and how you are our hero and should be properly worshipped and not treated like some object" Jeremy was more than slightly annoyed, "Rachel would you come here" Tiffany called.
"What is it" Rachel asked coming out of the kitchen area.
"Let me finish for you I'll do whatever it was that you were doing, Please come and enjoy my master's cock, taste his sweet seed savor it please?"
"First you want me to let you eat me and now you want me to… Why?"
"It is a gift to you Rachel an apology for my bad behavior"
"So I can just?" Rachel asked gesturing to Jeremy's crotch.
"Please do Rachel and enjoy" Tiffany said smiling as she turned to take over food preparations. Rachel walked up to Jeremy and took his cock in her hand. She kissed him experimentally as she stroked his hardening member. She slowly stroked his cock as he embraced her the long slow kiss to eternity as they drank from each other's lips.
Rachel slowly kissed her way down Jeremy's sun glazed chest, kissing and tasting his nipples, her mouth tasting the firm flesh of his pecks. Her tongue dancing down his abdomen her fingertips dancing on the hard firm flesh. She brushed her lips against his cock; she inhaled his smell. Her lips parted and her pink tongue touched the tip of his cock. She slowly painted his the length of his cock with the tip of her tongue. Then she flattened it dragging her tongue up and down until it glistened with saliva. She slowly took the tip and held it again her pursed lips as she looked up at him her lips parted as she sucked him inside of her mouth. The warm wetness thrilled Jeremy as Rachel slowly sucked Jeremy slow long strokes as she buried her nose in his pubes. She tickled his balls with her fingertips and hummed slightly as she felt them tighten. She squeezed her own breasts as she felt him throb and then erupt in long streams of hot man cream. She swallowed and kept sucking getting every bit of his precious man cream from his sensitive cock. "Wow" Jeremy gasped after a few seconds.
"Thank you" Rachel said turning back toward the cook fires her hips swayed seductively.
"I'm in trouble" Jeremy said
"I don't know what your talking about stud" Nicole said stepping up beside him
"Yep I'm in big trouble."
They ate lunch and the chat was uneventful until the end when Nicole announced that later tonight there would be a conference. Jeremy looked for something to do anything to keep his mind off the willing women. He went and counted time on the calendar to try and figure out what the date was. He knew it was mid summer in the US but here in the south it must be mid winter. That meant that the storm was a fluke and it would be best that they get off the island before summer here. Maybe July or early October. Maybe he could just spend the week knocking them up. No that wouldn't work, he had to get the plane ready once it was ready it really wouldn't matter. Life could go back to normal. Would his life ever be normal again? He sighed and sat down in the shade and closed his eyes.
He woke as the light was fading and he ambled down the path towards camp. He almost tripped over Annabel who was lying naked in the middle of the trail. He knelt beside her she was still breathing her breasts were horribly bruised as was her pussy. Her ass was covered with red stripes as was her stomach and thighs. He gently roused her; it took a moment for her to open her eyes. "Annabel are you okay?"
"I'll be fine master" She said
"No you're not fine what happened?"
Pricilla and Rose had me suck off Norman again and they had him fuck me until he wouldn't anymore and then they got a fish from the kitchen and shoved it in my ass and one of them fucked me with that and the other fucked me with one of those wooden dildo's that Shannon made. They made me eat them while they beat me with switches and sticks, and then they…
Jeremy hushed her and lifted her off the ground and carried her to his hut setting her inside. He got a plate of fruit and heaped it up with a double portion while the girls all looked at him confused. Jeremy sat down in the hut with the bruised Annabel and slowly gave her bits of fruit and water as she faded in and out of consciousness. He examined her fully and found the tail of a fish still sticking out of her ass. He gently dislodged it and tossed it out the door. He let her rest there beside his bed. Jeremy sat there looking at the beaten and broken body of the woman who was tortured and blackmailed and degraded first by her employer and later by two women who claimed they were loyal to him. He unclenched his fist he hadn't realized that he was that angry, he was really angry, he looked at his palm where his nails had left indentions on them. He started counting… he got to fifty when Tiffany poked her head in it was dark outside.
"Master" she began "Oh? What did you do to her?"
"I didn't do anything to her Tiffany what is your message?"
"Oh um Nicole and Naomi would like to see you the meeting is over and they want to tell you about everything."
"Very well Tiffany" let them in and get me some more water and a rag if you can find one"
"Yes master I will" she ducked out of the door and he heard her saying, "master will see you now mistresses"
Naomi and Nicole ducked in and sat down before noticing the supine Annabel lying beside Jeremy.
"Jesus" Naomi said Nicole sucked her breath.
"Is she going to be okay?" Nicole asked
"I hope so" Jeremy said softly
"I had no idea" Naomi said
"I don't think any of us did" Jeremy said, "This has to stop" his voice was the cool steel of a sword blade and it cut the silence inside the hut.
"She is under my care from now on" he said "I will have Tiffany and Shannon and probably Sunni here taking care of her when we are working on things, at least until she is strong enough to get around, that maybe several days."
"Okay" the two girls responded
Tiffany ducked her head back inside with four coconut containers of water and she tossed him a ragged tank top "As you requested master my shirt was about all I could find that wasn't completely threadbare."
"Good job Tiffany, come sit," he said gesturing to the only empty spot in the now crowded hut. Jeremy started by dipping the cloth in the water and gently rubbing Annabel's head and then the rest of her body, she shivered slightly at the touch but didn't stir beyond that. He had Tiffany do the same. "Okay girls fill me in"
"Well the girls decided that a month was too long to wait for cock so every five days they will draw straws to see who gets their pussies plunged." Nicole began
"But those girls who are pregnant or become pregnant can ask for a frolic anytime after your morning"
Naomi smiled.
"I see" Jeremy said
"And once you're through plowing all those fields we'll talk to them about getting the ship out."
"Sounds like a plan. When does this start?"
"In four days that way Tiffany has enough time to get knocked up"
"Okay great now then Ladies I need some rest"
"Night" Nicole said kissing him deeply on the lips.
"Good night hero," Naomi said kissing Jeremy also but she sucked his tongue briefly and then sucked his lip, "Until I get a chance to get pounded by that beautiful pole of yours again".
Chapter XXXVI
Jeremy woke in the morning. Tiffany was lying on the other side of Annabel. He gently woke Tiffany and then Annabel. "Master?" Tiffany asked
"Go get some more water please Tiffany" She smiled and hurried from the interior of the hut. "How are you feeling Annabel?"
"I hurt but you shouldn't trouble yourself with me you should have left me to die"
"Annabel you should know by now that, that is something I could never do." Jeremy said softly
"Master I am so unworthy of you I am so unworthy of these wonderful women who care so much for you, I wished to hurt you I planned on it, I hated you for what you did…"
"Hush" he said touching his fingers to her lips "That does not matter now Annabel, I am worried about you, you need to rest I'm going to make sure that the girls keep an eye on you while I take care of some things around camp. I'll be nearby so if you need or want to talk to me just ask them to come and get me."
"Master you are too kind to me"
"Annabel rest please and get better I won't let them hurt you anymore"
"But master…" she said her lip trembling "I deserved to be hurt I should be beaten and fucked and abused I'm a…"
"You are a woman who has been mistreated for too long Annabel" he kissed her softly on the forehead, she sobbed "Show everyone else that you have changed that you are loyal to me and that you have given up your past and that your devoted to everyone here"
"Yes master" she gasped
"Now rest, when Tiffany returns I want you to drink plenty of water, and I want you to eat."
"I don't want to be too fat for you master"
"You shouldn't worry about getting fat Annabel, you will be fat soon enough with our baby in your belly"
"You… you would really give me your baby? Our baby?"
"Rest" He said kissing her softly on the lips.
"My chest hurts my nipples are on fire" she said softly fading back into unconsciousness. Jeremy identified the rawhide strips that were wrapped around each nipple he removed them as gently as he could and crawled out of the hut just as Tiffany returned.
"Keep an eye on her Tiffany I'll have Shannon come and help you one of you two are to be with her at all times."
"Yes master"
"If there is a problem or something changes you are to come and get me immediately."
"Of course master" Tiffany said. Jeremy met with Shannon at the cook fire and asked her to go and help Tiffany. Shannon hurried off while he ate.
They finished off three of the planned six huts in addition to his main hut. They were drier than the cave and they were a lot more comfortable. Jeremy checked in on Annabel around lunch time she was sleeping as peacefully as he could hope and her bruises had gone from what was mottled red to a ugly black. She was a little feverish and with the help of the other girls he got her to eat and drink. When he stepped out of the hut to continue work. Sara met him, "Can we talk for a minute Jeremy".
"Sure" Jeremy replied walking with Sara down one of the game trails.
"Why are you so good I mean all that girl has done since we got stranded has been to cause trouble, I know the way that Rose and Pricilla and the other girls were treating her but I mean why stick up for her now?"
"Because someone had to, because I couldn't let you girls beat her to death to torture her anymore, I'm mad at myself for letting it happen in the first place but I thought maybe the girls would get their aggression and anger out but its only gotten worse."
"You are just too good for any of us Jeremy"
"Maybe Sara maybe but this has to stop."
"I don't know how it will"
"One way or another it will."
"What if we never get off the island Jeremy?"
"Let me worry about getting us off the island Sara I have a plan and it should work" Jeremy at that moment noticed something he hadn't noticed before, Sara was wearing a watch. "Sara how long have you had that?" He asked pointing to the watch
"It was a Christmas present from my grandparents."
"Can I see it?"
"Sure Jeremy I guess?"
He looked at the watch it read Midnight and it was still moving the second hand still sliced forward. "Have you changed the time on this?"
"No I mean I don't know how much time change there has been I'd all but forgotten about it."
"Sara Baby your beautiful" he lifted her in an strong embrace and kissed her hard and then ran down back to the camp
Jeremy sat down with Naomi… "Can we figure it out with this?" He asked
"Oh hell no, one of these girls didn't have a time piece. I guess I lost mine in the crash…"
"Yeah mine drowned in the salt water digital Timex piece of shit. Good for 30 meters water resistant unless its salt water." He grinned
"So lets see California time is +6"
"Right" Jeremy said "so we mark time at Noon tomorrow and we should be able to plot our position on one of those old flight maps and then".
"And then we can find the nearest port and get home".
"What are you guys talking about?" Sara said walking up.
"Sara baby this your watch?" Naomi asked.
"Yeah Jeremy was real excited about it for some reason."
"Your beautiful baby, now we have everything we need?"
"What are you guys talking about" Rachel asked.
"These two are crazy I think?" Rose said, "getting all excited over a watch".
"You girls really don't understand do you" Naomi said.
"What?" they all echoed.
"It gives us a point of origin it will tell us within a few miles where we are"
"What if I knew you could figure out where we are with a watch I'd have given it to you on the first day" Sara said.
"I still don't get it" Rose said, "How does that tell you where we are exactly?"
"You know what time zones are right?" Jeremy explained
"Yeah so what?"
"Well if we know what time it is at say California which is where this watch is set to, and we know that that is Greenwich plus six then when know what time it is at zero latitude. We take that and we do a little bit of math and presto we know where we are in the pacific."
"Plus shooting the sun or stars with the sextant and we have two sets of coordinates"
"You lost me," Rose said
"Jeesh didn't you take algebra or something in school?" Sara asked somewhat disgusted.
"Well we did but we didn't do much work mostly Pricilla gave the teacher a lap dance and I recorded it and then we made sure our grades were good enough to pass, he would have hated it if his wife got a copy of that tape, never mind the principal or the police."
Naomi shook her head "so you don't know about x and y coordinates and how they go on a map?"
"Um not really"
"Lets just say that tomorrow we will know exactly where we are and we will have a much better idea of how to get home."
"Oh no we aren't leaving until Jeremy puts a baby inside me" Rose stormed
"Me too" Rachel said
"Oh he better not think we are leaving without filling my fertile little…"
"So does this mean your going to knock us all up tomorrow?" Rachel asked smiling
"No we still have to have a way off the island" Jeremy said
"Well build a bigger boat then" Rose said
"No matter how heroic and wonderful you girls think I am it still won't make me a master boat builder, I know next to nothing about building a sea going boat that canoe is about the best I can do and at best we could get a week's supplies on it which is not enough" Jeremy sighed.
"All of us we could get pretty far in a week" Rose said
"A week's supplies for one" Jeremy corrected her. "Lets get ready for supper" Jeremy perched himself on a rock near the camp and watched as the girls busied themselves with preparing food and gathering wood and other materials.
"Are you really going to get us off this island" Pricilla asked him
"What do you think Pricilla?"
"I think that if anyone can you can"
"Well thanks I think"
"I heard about what happened to Annabel it sounds horrible"
"It was"
"Who could have possibly hurt her like that do you think?"
"I think you know damn well Pricilla who"
"Don't play innocent with me Pricilla I saw you abusing her"
"You did?"
"I did you and your sister"
"Well then you know it was all Rose"
"I know Rose probably better than you think?"
"I don't think so," she said threateningly
"Get off of him Pricilla" Rose said grabbing her sister by the hair
"What you think he's going to impregnate you after everything you have done?" Pricilla asked pushing Rose away
"I know he will he made a promise and I know he will take care of me no matter how much I don't deserve it"
"All men are the same use you and lose you"
"Not Jeremy" rose said fire on the edge of her voice
"You think your better than me bitch?" Pricilla asked her sister by now the other girls had heard the commotion and started congregating.
"I don't think" Rose said her voice cut through the silence like a bullwhip "I know I'm better than you and I will.."
"The Fuck you will bitch" Pricilla took a swing towards Rose it never connected Jeremy held her by the wrist. "Let go of me asshole" Pricilla screamed Jeremy took her other wrist and held them behind her back. Pricilla kicked and screamed
"All of you go about what you were doing if you weren't doing anything then find something else to do." Then he leaned forward and whispered into Pricilla's ear "You come with me" he pushed her down the beach she stumbled a few times and finally fell. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. He marched down the beach and set her down on the sand.
"You're a fucking asshole you know that?" she said spitting on him
"Well I try not to be"
"Giving all these girls false hope making them think that maybe we will get rescued you know damn well that isn't fucking going to happen"
"I do" Jeremy admitted
"Then you're a fucking coward for giving these girls false hope making them think that some how you will make it all better"
"Pricilla if I had a dime for all the things you don't know"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I unlike you don't intend to spend the rest of my life on this island"
"What your going to knock us all up and fucking leave us like every other man would?"
"Nope that's not my plan either"
"Well then what is it if you know?"
"Pricilla" he said touching her shoulder
"Don't fucking touch me you fuck you think I want your cock inside me that puny little thing will never satisfy me." She slapped him "Just because I'm a girl don't think you have me all domesticated and shit like you did with that cunt Annabel."
Jeremy took the slap without flinching and then he grabbed Pricilla in a bear hug "Pricilla dear, there is a plane it needs work and we have been working on it but it should be ready when we are ready to leave. I'll take you home to your friends and family back to civilization."
"I… I don't have any friends, and my family has probably forgotten all about me by now they never cared what me or rose did it was always about money."
"You do have friends Pricilla people who care about you? You think your sister would have gotten in your face if she didn't care about you?"
"Yes she cares about you she wants to be normal"
"I have a little secret to share with you Pricilla what has happened here will brand us as never normal"
"So what are you saying?" Pricilla asked
"I'll always be here for you Pricilla if you want me"
"No, no, no!" she screamed "its not fair you can't be this good you can't" she balled her fists and pounded his chest, he just held her as she finally let her fists dropped to her sides and she sobbed against his shoulder "promise me" she gasped "that you will never leave me or my sister"
"I promise" he said kissing her tear streaked cheek he lifted her into his arms and carried her back to camp and laid her inside one of the newly completed huts as he went about getting food for himself and then asked Rose to get food for her sister and told her where to take it.
Chapter XXXVII
Jeremy woke before dawn; he saw both Tiffany and Annabel were sleeping peacefully in the half-light of the hut. He moved to kneel beside Tiffany he gently touched her knee with his fingertips slowly sliding them up the inside of her thigh. He brushed her check with his hand and caressed the raised nipples on her nearly flat chest. She moaned softly as his fingers traced delicate lines up and down the insides of her thighs. She gasped and parted them slightly. Jeremy traced little trails through the thick hair that was now covering her pussy, he remembered a time when she had kept it shaved and smooth as a baby's butt. He leaned forward and sucked one nipple and then the other bringing them to their full swell. He positioned himself carefully between her thighs and pressed his cock into her sweet juicy opening. He slowly pressed himself fully inside her and then he kissed her she woke with a tongue delving her mouth and a cock plumbing the depths of her pussy her eyes opened and she looked into his she grasped his head as his hips began to move. She wrapped her legs around him tilting her hips up to meet him. It was a slow delicate thing her pussy sucking at his hard thick meat. She gasped as he sucked and chewed her nipples she held his head against her breast until their movements became more urgent and the gasping and breathing reached its crescendo and Tiffany screamed as Jeremy erupted inside her the hot cream flooding her hungry womb.
"What's wrong" Annabel asked weakly.
"Nothings wrong Annabel" Tiffany murmured, "Everything is just perfect." Jeremy got up a few minutes later and Tiffany insisted on making sure he was cleaned up. She slurped greedily at their combined juices and wouldn't let him leave until she was sure she had gotten every last bit of it.
Jeremy walked outside and headed to the Japanese base before the sun even rose. He got there just as the sun was clearing the horizon. He put a stick into the ground in the middle of the complex. And started looking around he found what he was looking for a pipe sticking out of the ground, he uncovered it some more moving sand away and followed in the same direction occasionally uncovering more as he progressed. Until he found what he was looking for three buried tanks… he hoped at least one of them was still intact he uncovered the fill ports. And with a wrench and a lot of straining the rusted bolts finally gave way one was full with what smelled like gasoline or maybe kerosene, the next was filled with oil and the third was filled with foul smelling sand. They could do it he congratulated himself. He walked to the head quarters building there was an old map on the wall. It was very old. But he found a compass and measured out the scale on the compass.
He used a bucket that he dusted out as best as he could to start transporting first oil to the engines of the plane. He hoped the oil filters on the old engines would survive. It took him till nearly noon when he went back to the stick. He watched it and the clock until the shadow disappeared. He then calculated that it was two hours and forty-five minutes ahead of California. That put them at almost plus eight, which put them pretty close to the Pacific Rim. Naomi showed up a few minutes later with Nicole and Pricilla in tow.
"Wow I never knew this was here," Pricilla said
"Go look in there Pricilla, but understand you can't tell the others yet it's still not ready" Pricilla wandered into the cavernous hangar.
"Any luck with fuel and oil?" Naomi asked
Jeremy smiled "In fact I think we have plenty of both."
Pricilla came out a few minutes later "Holy crap that is a big old plane its kind of weird looking though."
"That's because it's a flying boat hun" Naomi said
"A what?"
"Back in the olden days" Nicole began "Someone thought it would be a good idea to have planes that could land on water and had extended ranges for well war mostly"
"So this is an old war plane like Vietnam or Iraq?" Jeremy and Naomi both nearly doubled over with laughter "What's so funny?"
"This relic here Naomi said is from the Second World War"
"Uh that's really a long time ago." Pricilla said
"Yep" Jeremy said
"Will it fly".
"One way to find out" Naomi said.
"You mean you don't know?" Pricilla asked dumbfounded.
"Well no not really I mean it has been sitting on this island for, well longer than any of us have been alive" Nicole commented.
"I am betting it handles like a school bus," Naomi grinned.
"Who's going to fly it don't tell me you know how to fly Jeremy" Pricilla asked.
"Naomi can fly, I mean sure I could fly it but don't ask me to land or take off or anything like that"
"So what's the next step then".
"Oh I figure in a couple of days we get this canal in front of the hangar dug out and we'll see if it will float… maybe more than a couple of days, no rush I mean unless your in a rush." Jeremy smiled.
"Oh no, no rush I just well I never believed that this is incredible."
"Your telling me" Naomi said "You don't even want to know how hot I am for this plane."
"Why" Pricilla asked.
"Well for one most of these planes were either destroyed or dismantled after the war, that makes this relic almost a one of a kind." Naomi purred.
"Is that supposed to mean something?" Pricilla asked.
"Maybe only to me" Naomi said lightly rubbing herself.
"your not going to do that while we are flying are you?" Pricilla asked.
"Oh no maybe just for the first twenty minutes" Naomi grinned "God you don't know how hot this makes me just talking about it and we are actually… fuck!".
"Right ladies if your done with your fantasies some of us should get back to work Naomi can you see what you can find and see if where we are and what's close I think I saw some maps," he gave her the time adjustment down to the minute and headed off with the other two girls. He really needed to check in with Annabel.
Several minutes and half an island later Jeremy walked into camp he ducked into the hut that he shared with his current playmate and Annabel. She was doing better the bruises were starting to yellow and she was conscious and more than a little irritable. "I need to get outside Jeremy I've been cooped up in here for I don't know how long"
"Sounds like a good idea to me if your up to it" Jeremy said.
"Really I mean your not going to keep me locked away in here?".
"No just stay in camp and help out where you can and don't over do it."
"Thanks sweetie".
"If you start feeling tired I want you to relax, come back in here if you need to".
"Yes master" Annabel said Jeremy could only smile the rest of the day progressed fairly uneventfully and it was dark before Naomi arrived back at camp. Jeremy waited until after the evening meal for her to tell him what she had found.
"Well I figure if we take a heading west south west we can probably hit New Zealand or if for some awful reason we miss that enormous land mass we can't miss Australia." Naomi confided in the now empty hut.
"Can you work out a flight plan" Jeremy asked
"I can and have I'll refine it over the time we have left, it might be a good idea to test fly the bitch before we actually have everyone on board."
"Yes though I'm not sure how much fuel we have if it's even enough to fill the tanks"
"We don't need to fill them all the way the first time out."
"You sure?"
"Yes I checked them and opened the drain plugs to get any moisture out so hopefully we can test it sooner rather than later"
"Actually I think later is going to be the order of the day" Jeremy responded.
"Yeah I kind of figured that" Naomi said.
"Will we make it as far as New Zealand?".
"My best estimates make it about 1200 miles to there figure they will catch us on radar and will respond by at least sending someone out to see who we are. Most of the Flying boats that I have looked at specs on had a range of over 2000 miles so we should be fine, compass headings might be a little tricky but if we take off in the morning and fly away from the sun all day."
"The compass is broken?"
"Looks like it or it maybe I haven't figured out what's the matter with it."
"We'll figure out something maybe it just needs a good whack with a mallet."
"Maybe" Naomi agreed, "I hadn't thought of that"
"Right lets get some rest then"
"Naomi left and Tiffany came in from where she had been waiting outside"
Still more to come

Though the texts are simply written, these titles contain a wealth of information. Venezia relates his subjects' life stories and records their influence in getting recognition for African-American artists. Ringgold works in a variety of mediums and her art always packs an emotional punch. From textiles and paintings to prints and masks, she has made her mark in the art world with the creation of story quilts. With no formal art training, Pippin is considered one of the great artists of America, best known for his ability to capture the essence of life in America during slavery and the years of segregation. Both books have many reproductions of the artists' works as well as those of the masters who influenced them. To help illustrate his points, Venezia has incorporated his own cartoon-style illustrations. These books can be read for pleasure, as biography, or used in an art curriculum.

Reduce Energy Costs and Improve Space Utilization
Lighting, heating and cooling accounts for over 70% of electrical costs in typical office space environments. The Redwood Building-Performance Lighting Platform reduces these expenses with an average of 75% energy savings on lighting electrical load. The platform also lowers heating, cooling and ventilation costs by communicating detailed occupancy data to HVAC systems, so they can dynamically adjust based on occupancy. Additionally, Redwood provides detailed occupancy data across the entire building, to help facility managers optimize their use of space.

HVAC Energy Savings
LED fixtures emit far less heat compared to traditional luminaires and the Redwood Platform reduces the heat load even further by dimming the fixtures as well as centralizing the drivers and placing them in a telecom or electrical closet. In addition, the system can communicate detailed real-time occupancy data to variable air volume based HVAC systems. This in turn enables the HVAC system to provide heating and cooling based on actual needs, ultimately saving money.
Space Utilization
The fine-grained data the platform receives on occupancy is used to measure and maximize space utilization to drive real estate costs down and improve occupant satisfaction.
Real-time insights into usage patterns and room availability throughout a building or campus can now be realized. As a result, facility managers can improve building utilization as they have accurate and actionable intelligence on how well break-rooms, conference rooms and desk areas are being used. Decisions on needing additional office space can be delayed when existing buildings are being used inefficiently, and new applications can be developed to aid employee productivity.
Space utilization apps tying into popular calendaring systems such as Microsoft Exchange® and Google Calendar™ can automatically free-up unoccupied rooms that had been previously scheduled for meetings — effectively creating additional conference room capacity and making it easier for employees to find meeting rooms.
This information also benefits facility managers by providing historical data on conference room utilization, so they have a better understanding of actual demands, thereby improving their companies' bottom line by avoiding costly real estate expansions.
The system measures temperature across a facility providing detailed thermal information and alerts if temperatures go out of band. The platform has the capability to add additional sensors for enhanced monitoring.
Watch Redwood Systems talk about energy reduction and space utilization strategies.
Customer Testimonial
"Redwood enables SAP to maximize savings from lighting while providing data around space utilization and temperature mapping that give us the insight we need to intelligently operate our facilities." Larry Morgan, Head of Facility Operations, SAP Labs; Former President, IFMA Silicon Valley |
Energy Savings Techniques for the Office
Redwood's advanced energy savings techniques significantly reduce lighting load. The following report, generated by the Redwood Platform, quantifies the power consumption impact of each technique compared to a fluorescent system with no controls.
A Single, Cost-Effective Platform for Energy Savings and Space Utilization
Commonly, lighting and controls involve three distinct and separate systems for power, control and measurement. The complexity of each system requires significant design time and field set up that increases the install cost and delivers a solution with limited control and intelligence. With AC-power wiring, these systems are not easily expanded, upgraded or re-provisioned as the needs of the business change.
Redwood's Building-Performance Lighting Platform serves as a single system to power and control lighting at the individual fixture level, in the most energy efficient way, as well as provide fine-grained data on occupancy to measure and maximize space utilization.

Chicken Crepes
2 eggs
1 cup milk
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup flour
Beat with whisk or electric beater.
Fill ladle with 3 Tbsp of batter and pour into a small, heated (7") Teflon pan, holding it slightly at an angle and then rotating to cover. Cook just below med heat. Usually no need to grease, maybe spray for first crepe. Makes about 10.
Melt 2-3 Tbsp margarine on low heat, then with whisk,
stir in 2 Tbsp flour (mine are rounded, so maybe 3 to be exact)
add 1 1/2 cups milk, starting slowly, stirring until smooth.
As sauce heats, add:
2 Tbsp cheezwhiz (or 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese) and
1/2 Knorr chicken bouillon cube (use other half in rice)
Stir until sauce begins to bubble
Mix 1/1/2 – 2 cups cooked, cubed chicken with cheese sauce, saving some of the sauce for topping.
Spoon into crepes, roll up and lay side by side into pyrex casserole dish.
Spoon saved cheese sauce over center of crepes and bake at 350 F, 20 min. I usually cover with foil to prevent drying out. You can probably heat them for 10 min without foil. These can be made ahead of time and refrigerated.

We too were treated to many a brunch at Hank and Joyce's home. They were such a gift to our group at that time. We learned so much from them and I still pull out recipes and tips she passed on to me. Some right from in her kitchen and some from several ladies events where she was the guest featuring recipes and tips. We bump into each other now and again and the little visits are always sweet, and warm. They are a great team. Kathy

i made this dish this evening and it was pretty good. my only problem is that it was too much meat for us so when i make it again i will add broccoli to it and reduce the meat. my son said the sauce was gritty...did i do something wrong? i thought it was fine. only recently found this site and have made the steak bake casserole and it was fantastic. i hope to use more of the recipes....thanks
ReplyDeleteRepliesBroccoli is a good addtion to these crepes. I think it ends up being 2-3 Tbsp of chicken per crepe, but less is good too. I have no idea how the sauce could be gritty... maybe lumpy? Be sure the flour and butter (marg) are well blended and add milk gradually as you stir with whisk... over low/med heat. All the best!
