Skydiving When the Naval Sea Systems Command decided to launch SeaPort (www.seaport.navy.mil), it wasnt just committing to making the first e-marketplace for contracting professional services in the armed services. It was also finding a new way to deal with software vendors that is being adopted in NAVSEA, says Capt. Kurt Huff, who led the creation of SeaPort. Senior Writer Mike Cleary spoke with Huff, who is retiring in September.
What is SeaPort?
Were a private exchange within Exostar [an Internet marketplace for the aerospace and defense industries]. Were the first private trading exchange to provide professional support services.
How does it work?
Our 21 contractors go to Exostar for contract award documents. We get all proposals on the Web site and route them to evaluators. They log on and do evaluations on the Web site, fill in electronic forms and send them back to contracting officers. These are called negotiated procurements, but are competitive where well do best-value analysis and award the contract. This is pretty streamlined. Its an efficient, off-the-shelf, proven model.
What did it take to set up SeaPort?
It cost under $500,000 and took less than eight weeks, from when we awarded the contract to Commerce One.
How did you go about setting it up?
Ive had some experience with the software industry. Usually, youre promised more than youre ever going to get. I wanted to try to roll something out on March 31, and gave a one-page sketch of the process. You tell me what you can get on 31 March. Normally, we say: We want it on X date. Tell me what it will cost. Then I added, And if you dont deliver, your payment is zero. That really got their attention. Historically in this business, people are late and over budget.
Why did you commit to the deadline if the industry is as unreliable as you said?
I had tremendous support from my boss [Vice Admiral Pete Nanos]. I felt committed to my boss to bring the bacon home. I hear all this talk about the Internet, so I said, Show me Internet speed. And they did.
What value do you provide in your role through e-commerce?
By providing a vision and passion to embrace e-commerce to dramatically improve business processes. I do a lot of speaking to demonstrate the value of e-commerce. It can improve efficiency. SeaPort has returned significant benefits, and other programs hopefully will launch soon.
Whats the biggest objection you encounter?
Fear of the unknown. In general, most of the midmanagement-level folks tend to embrace it. The hardest part is some of the senior managers. Not all of them, but some of them. Clearly, my boss is 100 percent on board.

If you love to bike, Canaan Valley Resort State Park is perfect for you! The park offers 18 miles of marked trails through woodlands, meadows, hills and streams, many of which are linked with hundreds of miles of marked trails in the 1,000,000 acre Monongahela National Forest.

Geocaching! You are the search engine.
Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for GPS users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a GPS unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache. Currently, we have 5 hidden caches on site. Rental units & map coordinates available at the Beech Club. Deposit required when renting GPS System.
Daily: 9am – 4:30pm (year round activity)
Climbing Wall & Eurobungy
Attempt to climb to the top of the 25′ Climbing Wall or see how high you can jump on the Eurobungy. As many as three climbers can scale the wall at one time – race your friends in timed relays to the top of the wall. *Fun for the whole family! Located at the Nature Center. * Weight Restrictions: Minimum: 45 lbs • Maximum: 200 lbs
Closed for the season!
Turtle Slide Tube Ride
Enjoy summer tubing with friends and family members on the Turtle Slide Tube Ride. Sit back as a tow rope pulls you back to the top of the hill. Located at the Ski Area, purchase tickets in the Bear Paw Gift Shop. *Must be age 4 or older, and meet a 42″ height requirement. Closed for the season.

Well-known author and global warming activist, Bill McKibben, founder of the 350 movement, sits down with the Old Mole's Bill Resnick for this special 30-minute interview about the state of the Earth and what humanity (that is, you and me) will have to do to survive on a changed planet. McKibben is the author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet, which Resnick calls "a powerful, stunning book with staggering implications."
April 20, or 4/20, is the day when protests against punitive marijuana laws will take place around the country. Bill Piper is director of national affairs at the Drug Policy Alliance Network, and makes this plea to everyone, smoker or not, to get involved in repealing these laws. Tom Becker reads from this piece which can be found here.
Our Movie Moles Jan Haaken and Wendy Webb discuss the sexual politics of the new Swedish film Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. The film deals with sexual violence, revenge, and the decadence of upper-class Swedish society.
Special guest Bill McKibben talks with Bill Resnick about how we are going to have to live on this rapidly changing planet. Tom Becker, host for today's show, reads an op-ed urging an end to the war on marijuana. And our Movie Moles take on the controversial Swedish film Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Too small
Best Uses
I purchase this item to hang in a small alcove. However, when I collected it i was very surprised at how small it was and totally useless for the purpose I had Intended. It currently lies in its bag and I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. It is difficult to hang straight as the string goes through both plaques and getting them even is no easy task. Will probably give to my granddaughter although the wording probably isn't appropriate. The colour isn't what I was expecting g either, it is grey!
- Product Quality:
- Fair
- Value for Money:
- Fair
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

A black screen with "Burkitsville, Indiana One Year Ago" written in American Typewriter fades into a quaint Main Street scene at night. A young couple exits a store, followed by a mom and girl urging them to take an apple pie with them. The young woman accepts the pie and giggles that they "should get lost more often. Everyone in town is so nice!" Her partner foreshadows, "Yeah, what's the catch?" Out on the street, the Pop to the apple-pie Mom finishes gassing up the car and accepts the Lost Boy's handshake of thanks. The townie girl remarks on the tattoo covering his forearm, and Mom and Pop give him directions back to the "interstate."
On a dark, foggy country road, a fancy Mustang sputters to a halt, its headlights blinking. Inside the car, Lost Girl is exasperated and unhelpful, and Lost Boy finds that his cell phone has died, too. They get out and notice a light shining beyond rows of neatly planted Mock Apple Trees. Lost Boy is all Canadian ("Looooks like a hoooouse over there") and ready to take his fool block head straight into the foggy forest, but Lost Girl is apprehensive. They walk through the "orchard," dead leaves underfoot, right past a few bushels of apples propped against a tree. Please note that everything here points to "Fall." Also I'd like to take a moment to just say, kudos, location scouts. Since the Vancouver area certainly does not have any apple orchards, you did the best you could with this strange collection of manicured bushes. As they walk, they come upon what looks to be a man in an overcoat and hat, impaled through the butt on a two-by-four, suspended about five feet off the ground. Let's check it ooot! They move closer to investigate, and it only gets uglier. It has weird scraggly black hair issuing from underneath its hat, and then underneath that hair a leather-like (probably pleather, really) hockey mask on. It's a little paunchy, and altogether rather Buckethead covered in slimy mold and mildew. You're probably all "ew!" but that just shows you don't understand couture. Lost Boy thinks it's cool: "Check it ooot. 'If I only had a brain.'"
(You guys, Buckethead! That's the kind of thing that makes me so psyched to be alive. That some dude makes his living dressing up like that and wailing on a guitar. Oh, and also, as Wikipedia tells us, "On stage, Buckethead enjoys not only entertaining by means of his guitar work, but also with displays of his nunchaku kata and pop-and-lock break-dancing skills.")They remark on its crazy-lookingness, and Lost Girl flutters her hands around to indicate her feminine distress. As they walk away, she keeps her eyes on Buckethead and notices it move slightly. She nearly jumps out of her skin, which if she had actually jumped out of her skin would have taken all the fun out of it for our Malevolent Scarecrow. A truly creepy shot of Buckethead hung up there on its post. Cut to Lost Boy and Girl scooting through the "orchard," suddenly pursued by something that growls and makes branches crackle. They take off running. The camera is right behind them until suddenly Lost Girl is running alone. She stops and turns around in circles while breathing heavily and calling Lost Boy's name. More crackling branches, more gasping, and she takes off running again until she trips over something that just happens to be Lost Boy's skinless face and corpse. The camera swings around to a long shot, and we see her look up from Lost Boy's body and start screaming and trying to crabwalk backwards. A pair of big hulking shoulders comes between us and her, and then cut to a shot of the scarecrow's perch at the end of a row of trees, currently vacated by its usual resident. Metal Teeth Chomp.

According to statistics compiled by Jack A. Townsend, author of the Federal Tax Crimes Blog, nearly 130 individuals have been charged with maintaining and failing to report offshore bank accounts, or enabling those who do. Specifically, 94 taxpayers and 35 enablers have been charged with various crimes arising out of the failure to report offshore accounts, including the criminal Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR) statute (31 U.S.C. § 5322), the tax perjury statute (I.R.C. § 7206(1)), and conspiracy (18 U.S.C § 371).
These charges have in turn led to 72 guilty pleas and 12 guilty verdicts after a trial. Only one individual has been acquitted of the charged crimes. Of those charged, 53 individuals have been sentenced, with 28 receiving prison time as part of their sentence. Of those individuals receiving prison time as part of their sentence, the average period of incarceration has been over 13 months, though incarceration periods have reached as high as 10 years.
These statistics underscore the aggressiveness with which the United States is pursuing individuals who fail to properly report offshore bank accounts and offshore income. The statistics also underscore the value of the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP), which permits delinquent taxpayers to disclose their offshore financial accounts and unreported income, in exchange for a generally lower monetary penalty and a promise from the IRS to not recommend the taxpayer's case for criminal prosecution.
As we have previously addressed, the OVDP is not available to taxpayers whose non-compliance is discovered by the Government through the Government's independent investigation efforts. For that reason, and given the unrelenting efforts by the United States to root out non-compliant taxpayers with offshore assets and the potentially severe penalties they face, those considering applying to the OVDP should act sooner rather than later.

The barriers Hispanic farmers face in starting and expanding farming operations in the United States includes the lingering effects of past government discrimination, current marketing and use of information, and their own agricultural traditions. Both the government and the farmers see the need for improvement, but reaching the end goal is a challenge. NET News and Harvest Public Media reporter Clay Masters reports and produces "Hispanic Farmers on Broken Ground." The television documentary features Nebraska Hispanic farm owners, the author of a report on the current state of Hispanic farm ownership in the state, Hispanic students involved in a youth farming organization, as well as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. The documentary aims to examine the obstacles currently facing Hispanic farmers in the Midwest and across the country, as well as look ahead to possible solutions for the future.

January 8, 2015 - .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn"): Committed bf2cd3bb97c0097007ccd2b6e9a1ddcba1860cf5, Implements misc CR feedback: naming, comments, moving code around, etc. (changeset 1393287)
January 8, 2015 - .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn"): Committed 74142c4ff70914c5e22ccb480322731a9cede9c7, Currently we include a method ordinal to the name of a synthesized member produced during lowering of the method. When a method is added during EnC in the middle of existing members the ordinal is not enough to avoid name conflicts with the previously emitted synthesized members. In order to guarantee uniqueness of the names we now include generation ordinal in synthesized names as well, wherever we use method ordinal. Generation ordinal 0 (regular build) is omitted - the additional number is only added to names of synthesized members created during EnC compilation. An alternative would be to find the highest existing ordinal and start indexing EnC members from there. Such approach would probably work but including the generation number is much simpler and imposes less constraints on the EnC compilation. In addition to including the generic ordinal this changeset also fixes a couple of bugs that were previously masked or we haven't had coverage of the scenarios: - the EnC changeset calculation was not properly handling additions of synthesized members into existing synthesized classes. - SymbolMatcher didn't map local variable types forward correctly for variables of synthesized types. - SymbolMatcher didn't handle generic static lambda display classes with generic. Currently we create generic parameters for these classes via alpha renaming of the type parameters of the top-level generic method. VB is constructing fresh generic parameters, which seems a better approach. I'll leave changing this to a follow-up changeset. As a byproduct of this change we can now enable editing of methods containing dynamic operations. It just works now! Each update of such method creates a new set of dynamic sites. We don't attempt to reuse existing sites. It's little bit wasteful but it also avoids the need of invalidating the call-site caches. (changeset 1393184)

January 8, 2015 - .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn"): Committed 9c7ab597e95643579c218e92baea7b87955d3673, Static lambdas in generic methods are emitted on per-method display class. Include method ordinal into its name to make it unique. The previous change to synthesized name numbering introduced a regression - if two generic methods of the same arity contained static lambdas the resulting assembly had duplicate type names. This change addresses that case. (changeset 1391470)
January 8, 2015 - .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn"): Committed 94711411ef70002f41f370cc6dec8d7f3f4917d2, Implements a new approach to generating unique synthesized member names (see also the attached email). 1) Assigns each member a "member ordinal" - the index in the members array of the containing type. The ordinal is propagated thru lowering rewriters which uses it to make generated names unique. 2) We no longer calculate "overload ordinal" for names of state machine types, we use the member ordinal of the async/iterator method instead. 3) Removes GenerateTempNumber from TypeCompiationState. Combination of method ordinal and other indices is used to make generated names unique: - Display classes use ordinal of the method containing the lambda and closure scope ordinal (unique within a method). Static display class is shared across all non-generic methods of a containing class and thus doesn't need a unique number in name (it;'s simple named "c<>"). - Lambda methods include containing method ordinal (unless emitted to a display class whose name already includes it) and lambda ordinal (unique within a method). - The same for fields caching lambdas. - Dynamic site containers - no longer include method name in the type name, instead method ordinal is used. 4) Expression compiler - rename generated type to "<>x" to avoid confusion with "<>c" static display class. 5) Avoid replacing "." with "_" in member names, other than type names. While displaying stack frames the EE extracts method name from synthesized lambdas method names and displays it. Thus we were displaying "I_F" instead of "I.F" for explicitly implemented methods. In type names replace "." with "-". Replacing with "_" lead to duplicate type names in emitted assembly (2 iterator methods with names "I_F" and "I.F" - explicitly implemented iface method). (changeset 1390962)
January 6, 2015 - .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn"): Committed b2126a6dc6c234a66c403269542c676928fa559a, A few small tweaks in the implementation of IsKind and Kind that make them more efficient and avoid reference comparison with a string literal. (changeset 1389634)

The Michigan Wolverines' currently No.1 ranked 2014 draft class (ESPN and 247 Sports) now has 11 spots filled thanks to the announcement by 5-star cornerback and one of the nations top prospects Jabrill Peppers who proclaimed his love for Michigan and stated he would be joining the Wolverine family once his high school days are over.
Peppers actually rapped his official announcement in an ESPNU televised interview on Sunday declaring that he always "loved" Michigan ever since he was a kid and that he had "this dream" since he was 7 that one day he would play for Michigan.
The multidimensional 6-1, 210 pound-player not only had 77 tackles and three interceptions on the defensive side of the ball last season he also rushed for 1,552 yards with 18 touchdowns on offense and caught 20 passes for 337 yards with five scores as well.
It has been rumored that Peppers might lean the Wolverine way as his Paramas (N.J.) Catholic teammate offensive lineman Juwann Bushell-Beatty picked Michigan some time ago.
Peppers is regarded as being the No. 2 ranked overall player (Rivals) in the country and this announcement only solidifies the recruiting job head coach Brady Hoke and his staff have been doing since walking on campus some two-and-a-half years ago.

Shelling Excursion From Captiva
Posted by: | CommentsAfter a rainy Southwest Florida weekend, we had beautiful clear, sunny weather for our iLoveShelling adventure on our Captiva Cruises boat ride to shelling on Cayo Costa. Within minutes, Michelle from NY found a SCOTCH BONNET. Shellzam!
In the same area on the bay side of the island where Michelle found her BONNET, Bob from Illinois found a beautiful double SUNRAY VENUS.
I love the color and pattern of this shell!
It was so good to see Karen (Houston) and her mom Melody again on this cruise- we go way back! I feel like I have known Karen for so long since she won the first GiveAway I ever did here on my blog…. that was 2010 and I'll never forget her. I don't even make those notecards I painted and designed any more but it was a fun project while it lasted. Anyhoooo…. I was thrilled to see that she found a BABY EAR on the beach.
There were quite a few people who picked up BABYS EARS…
Rick, Lucas, Amy, Abby, Lindsey and Adam from Massachusetts founds bags of shells. They collected lots of the GIANT ATLANTIC COCKLE, Adam found a SAND DOLLAR and Lucas collected a sweet BABYS EAR (pictured above).
Cole and Jake from New Jersey are quite the shell hunters. Among all sorts of different shells they found, Cole's best finds were ANGEL WINGS and a BABY EAR. Jake found a perfect SAND DOLLAR. Great finds!
Kim and Ed from Rhode Island were back on the cruise again too! This time showing off their faves from the day- a huge WORM SHELL and a sweet little SAND DOLLAR.
Connie from Wisconsin was visiting her local friend Shelley who lives in Cape Coral. I told Shelley I wanted her name! LOL
Gail (Florida) and Emily (Maryland) have been friends since high school and still get together for girls trips… this time a shelling adventure!
These are just a few shells we pulled out of one of the bags of shells they collected.
It was so nice to meet Tom from Indiana. He said his family used to think he was crazy since he loved to collect shells but now his whole family is hooked after dragging them to Sanibel.
Tom was impressed to see how big and colorful the JINGLES are on Cayo Costa as well as finding teeny tiny SEA URCHINS completely dried on the high wrack line.
Sherry from Knoxville was happy tot find 2 perfect ANGEL WINGS…
Terry and Dave from Illinois found a few goodies but the jewel in their bag was a GAUDY NATICA.
We always see oodles of live CLOUDY PERIWINKLES on the tree roots around the tip of Cayo Costa but rarely see the empty shells so I snapped a photo of this one in the sand. Because I had to bend down to get a closeup, I saw that tiny yellow LUNATE CRASSENTELLA. I haven't seen them in a while.
Mrs. Lueders was happy shelling for the minis too…
She found plenty of the LUNATE CRASSENTELLAS so it was fun for her to find a new species she hadn't collected before.
I was thrilled to find those tiny dried SEA URCHINS since we rarely see them that small (without having to pick through the SEA SQUIRTS that are still on Sanibel- hahaha) . Also, there were plenty of double JINGLES as well. It's not as common to find the JINGLE with both valves but they were plentiful on Cayo and also at Gulfside City Park in the last weeks.
But my most thrilling find was a double WHITE CRESTED TELLIN! Yes, both valves still attached so I couldn't believe my luck. I know it doesn't look like much but I've been looking for one ever since I saw how pretty Nancy's shell was in my post in 2011 called "I'm Tellin On Some Tellins". I have found plenty of the single valves but this is my first one that was still together. Yay! Thanks to Nancy for sharing her find with me so I could have one more thing to look forward to the day I could find one.
Everybody on our shelling trip seemed to find something that made them happy and if it wasn't a shell that they had wanted to find, each passenger received a $25 gift certificate to Sealife By Congress.
Wow! Thank you Sealife By Congress for being so good to the shelling community. Yes, you sure do make us happy. So join us on another iLoveShelling shelling adventure… CLICK HERE for upcoming dates.
Wild Signs Of Summer On Sanibel
Posted by: | CommentsSigns of summer have been showing up early on the islands lately. The late afternoon billowy clouds have been rolling in on the horizon causing afternoon showers and gorgeous sunsets. I finally made it back to Bowman's Beach the other evening to watch the sky show at sunset and to see what types of shells have been washing upon that shore.
I mostly found the common bivalves, but I was happy enough with collecting a WORM in a BUTTERCUP topped with an OLIVE and a pinch of NUTMEG.
Summer might be right around the corner, but the animals on the island know it's still Spring. It's been so much fun watching the wildlife in the last few weeks now that the island isn't as busy. My friend Diane has been watching a family of NIGHT HERONS nest in her back yard so I had to go pay them a visit. Oh My! There are three young chicks in the nest with the Mamma. So sweet!
Clark and I watch this ALLIGATOR cross the road right in front of us in our car last week. Yikes! It's still mating season for them so he was moving pretty quickly from one pond to another (thank goodness). This was the best photo I could get with such short notice. LOL
If you haven't heard, there have been a few wild COYOTES that are now on Sanibel and Captiva. How did they get here? Dunno… but I did get to see one resting quietly under a fence on Captiva.
Last night by the Sanibel Pier, I couldn't peel myself away from watching this awesome OSPREY catch and feed on a nice size POMPANO fish. Clark and I watched him eat this fish dinner for maybe 20 minutes all while his family screeched and yelled at him to bring fish dinner back to the nest only 20 yards away.
As we started to walk away from the OSPREY show, a Mother DOLPHIN and her baby splashed out of the water next to the pier then a MANATEE swam by. Magical. Since the wildlife was the life of the party last night, the only shell I collected to bring home was this BABY'S EAR.
That one shell was well worth an evening's walk on the beach to witness more wild wonders of life on Sanibel.
Join us on tomorrow for an iLoveShelling Cruise to Cayo Costa with Captiva Cruises! Call 239-472-5300
Healthy Living On The Coast Of Sanibel Island
Posted by: | CommentsIf the Sanibel SEA LIFE could have talked last evening at low tide, they probably would have been chatting it up about how lovely the evening was and how healthy they were feeling…. just like us.
This LINED STARFISH was raisin' the roof!
The live LETTERED OLIVES were doin' the locomotion…
The live AUGERS were gettin' jiggy with it…
This live BABY'S EAR was jivin' and slimin'…
The live FIGHTING CONCHS were putting' up their dukes…
There were hundreds of HERMIT CRABS running around claiming the best shells for their residences.
We even saw quite a few SHARK'S EYE EGG COLLARS brimming with little tiny eggs…
We even saw lots of ONION SEA ANEMONES flowering in the tidal pools…
Hmmmm….I wonder why they call it an "ONION" SEA ANEMONE … heehee
The colors of the night were amazing! This clump of SEA SPONGE was the most brilliant color purple…
A little higher on the beach, I saw that Leah from Georgia found a honey hole of wonderful minis which included lots of WENTLETRAPS.
Leah and her husband Matt were vacationing on Sanibel to celebrate Matt's 40th birthday.
Finding a few beautiful shells to take home was just icing on the cake. Happy Birthday Matt!
The weather was perfect, the beach was teeming with live creatures and each breath of fresh, salty air made exploring the tidal pools heaven on earth.

All libraries are closed on Wed., Mar. 4 due to weather conditions.
The Oklahoma Historical Society has a new database that indexes Hastain's Township Plats of the Creek Nation. Hastain's Township Plats of the Creek Nation was published by E. Hastain in Muskogee, Oklahoma in 1910. The publication shows the location of allotments given to members of the Creek Nation.
"The first founder of Tulsa thus rests in an unknown grave near the center of the present city." --Angie Debo, Tulsa: From Creek Town to Oil Capital
When the Lochapoka were removed from their Alabama home, Chief Achee Yahola led them to present-day Tulsa, and he guided them during the difficult years that followed removal.
Debo says that the name "Yahola" was given to young men who had won recognition in war.

Oasis, Tuesday, October 4, at the Mercury Cafe, arrives in Colorado intent on substantiating the beliefs of those who feel the band is the next big thing to come out of Manchester, England. The Epic release Definitely Maybe features "Shakermaker," a sardonic twisting of the old Coke jingle "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (in Perfect Harmony)," "Supersonic," a tune that epitomizes the act's approach to composition, and "Married With Children," which mellows out without dragging the group down. Just as important are the rock-star-in-the-making lyrics that lead guitarist Noel Gallagher pens for his kid brother Liam, whose delivery sounds like the Beatles meeting Renegade Soundwave. Who cares if Oasis fizzles out faster than fellow overhyped Brit bands? The precious darlings are here now, and that's all that matters.

Jim Ferguson
NOLS Instructor since: 1984 Quote: "I see myself as a teacher and NOLS courses provide a stupendous avenue to teach people who are highly motivated to learn."
Jim Ferguson remembers reaching the crest of a knife-edged ridge in Alaska on his student course in 1982 and being told that if the next person on his rope team fell, he should jump off the opposite side of the ridge to catch him.
"Fergie" looked down at hundreds of feet of air that ended in a layer of clouds far below and thought, "This is absolutely crazy, there is no way I am ever going to be a mountaineer."
Seventeen years later, Fergie is one of the most respected mountaineering instructors at NOLS. He's led the annual Denali expedition, worked in British Columbia's Waddington Range, and instructed mountaineering courses in Patagonia, the Pacific Northwest, and Wyoming. In addition to courses, Jim also teaches several of the 60 NOLS instructor seminars, where instructors develop new skills each year. Somewhere in the intervening years, he forgot about the resolution he made that day in Alaska.
Fergie has worked for NOLS since 1984, spending many months in the wilderness. Ever since he was a kid, he's been drawn to places like Alaska. That lure is what brought him to NOLS in the first place.
"I had this idea that I could find some outdoorsy person in Alaska, someone I called a mountain man, to teach me everything he knew about the wilderness in exchange for having a helper who was willing to work hard all summer. I wanted to be a 'mountain man apprentice.' Try looking that up in the phone book!" Fergie laughs. When his search for such an apprenticeship failed, Fergie started looking for other ways to get to Alaska. A friend put him in touch with two people who ended up being NOLS instructors. The next thing he knew, he was heading to Anchorage for a mountaineering course.
Fergie paid for the course out of savings he'd earned from two summers working in a Miller beer bottle factory. Fergie worked the night shift searching all night long for defects in bottles that whipped by him at a rate of six bottles per second. The most challenging aspect of the job was trying to stay awake for the entire shift, and after two summers Fergie had enough money to go to NOLS.
These days, Fergie is known around NOLS for his meticulousness and his talents as a skier, mountaineer, and teacher. Fergie points to three factors that he likes about working for NOLS.
"First I like teaching," Fergie says. "I see myself as a teacher and NOLS courses provide a stupendous avenue to teach people who are highly motivated to learn. Second I'm comfortable in the woods, whether it is the quietness or the size of your world out there, or because I like the problem solving aspect, the fact that you need to rely on yourself to figure things out. And finally, it's the people I work with. The NOLS community is great," Fergie says.
