Taken on the Clyde in 1976 waiting to dock at Greenock with a sugar cargo.
I spent six and a half months on Gowanbank as senior apprentice in 1977. She was a good ship. We joined in Durban and paid off in Durban having sailed across the South Atlantic, through the Magellen straits, up the West coast of South America, Then went through Panama, loading in the US Gulf for New Zealand. Then up to Singapore and the Far East loadied for the East african coast and back to durban for pay off.
It was a regular Bank Line trip with lots of hard work and even harder play.

sailed as 3/0 in 72-73 Capt.Ireland in command.these six sisters plus the "shirra" &
"teviot" from Doxford's yard where,for my money, the best looking ships bank line had.
the "gowan" being the last of the H&W series is possibly the last traditional midships
cargo vessel built in the british isles.

I was senior apprentice on the maiden voyage of the Gowanbank along with Paul J Wilkinson from Torquay and David Elborn from Belfast. The master was Charlie Howe, Mate David Ward , 2/0 ? Sinclair, 3/0 Charlie Hill. This trip lasted 18 months and we signed of in Rotterdam . She was a happy ship and I enjoyed my time on her I would love to hear from any guys who served on that trip.

I sailed with David Elborn when he was 2/O - can't remember the ship off hand. He was getting married when we paid off. Roger Vine was the 3/O - I was Senior Apprentice at the time. We were on the "copra run".

Capt. Howe...There's a name from the past, master of the Fleetbank in 1961 when I was Apprentice. He went head-first down the forward oil tank, narrowly missed the floor steam pipes, made a bit of a mess of himself but no broken bones.

On the Gowanbank in late 1968 we sailed from Rangoon heading for Calcutta where the crew would be paying off. There was much excitement among the crew they had the Indian version of the channels.
Several days before arrival in Calcutta , on a Sunday morning the master Charlie Howe knocked on my door and said what are you doing Mr Mackay, I said nothing much, he then said come with me down to the crew accommodation aft and get the other two apprentices to collect several canvas sacks and join us.
We went down into the accommodation and into the first cabin where 4 men had their cases/trunks packed ready for the off. He instructed them to empty the cases/trunks onto the deck , needless to say they protested and he turned them upside down and among their personal effects
were tins of jam, knifes , forks , spoons , tins of milk , mugs , plates etc etc this all went into the sacks. We then went into every cabin and same procedure, we filled 14 sacks. Even his own steward had a pan confiscated.
We took the filled sacks on deck and asked him what will we do with them, REPLY - throw them over the wall and that will teach everybody not to pilfer ships stores. He was some guy , stern but a brilliant seaman.

H&W Belfast got no more build orders from Andrew Weir after the Gowanbank. I heard there was a bit of a fallout so from then on all of Weir's ships were built at Doxford or Swan Hunter yards, and fine looking ships they were. For so many years a Bankboat could always be seen alongside the fitting out berth at Harland's,so from early 1968 it just seemed so strange and a pity not to see one there. ever again.

Was 2/O on Gowan 1974. Joined Rotterdam at 0100 on a bitterly cold, wet Feb morning at some bulk terminal. They's just had an oil spill during bunkering. Sailed at 0300 for anchor outside in a gale while we secured ship. Then Emden to load VWs for Houston - arrived 0800, sailed 1400! Western Ocean did its worst. Houston in to City Docks, unload, back out to anchor, then back up to load for Aus. Old Man was a complete nutter and was eventually relieved in Aus at Port Philip Roads. Then sugar to Singapore I think, then Far East Africa run. Paid off in Capetown in Oct. Charlie Cain was C/E. One cadet went doollally in Melbourne and attacked another cadet. All good fun. Lot of pay rises in 1974 owing to Callaghan's handling of the economy. Somethin like 25% in 9 months!

As a new member am enjoying navigating the site. Came across this message of 10 years ago and realised I was on board at the time of the photo. I paid off the Gowanbank at Greenock on 18/08/76 having joined in Bombay on 06/01/76. Anybody else out there?
13th November 2014, 14:40
I relieved Kevin on the Gowanbank, loaded around Europe for Persian Gulf, then sub continent for Maputo( Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds and Spades) paid off in Durban (Hearts?) after 8 months, not the most exotic of trips but I was hooked for the next 16 years

Hi there Posh Geordie (and anyone else out there).
Wot exactly is a Posh Geordie then? I was born and raised in North Shields and I ain't never been accused of being posh!! Marilyn is but then she's from Harrow, what do you expect.
Glad to hear from you. You must have joined with Dave Lee amongst others. Dave and I corresponded a short while ago, turns out that he took over my luxury suite when he joined in Greenock. For me it was a really good trip, Africa / Orient run (East & South Africa, Bangkok, Singapore etc. before paying off in Greenock. Had arrived there with a cargo of sugar from Mauritius). Gowanbank was my first trip with Bankline, Weirbank & Testbank were to follow before I left for shorter trips with Denholm Maclay on the 'Conbulkers'.
All the best
13th November 2014, 18:46
Hi Kevin,
It is Dave Lee, not posh not even a Geordie. The sixer on the Gowanbank was a proper Geordie and rest of lads could hardly understand him, I'm from a bit further south so I was the posh Geordie.http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/images/smilies/jump3.gif

Morning Dave,
My first thought was that it may have been you (the "I relieved Kevin" bit seemed to suggest that!).
Blimey, 16 years before the masts is impressive. I managed 10 before leaving to get married in 1981.
I've seen the photos you posted in 'BLN'. I recently dug out my old files and will be posting some pictures & mug shots of my own soon. Keep watching.

I sailed on the Gowanbank Jan to Aug 1972 as 5/E if memory serves.
Great trip...as were all Bank Line trips.

Hi Bryan,
You did the same January to August period as me but a couple of years before. Small world innit. You, me and Dave Lee on this post, all three of us 5th Engineers on Gowanbank, all of us in the same luxury suite (well, fairly luxurious anyway!)
13th February 2015, 17:14
Hi Kevin,
Did you ever attend any of the Bank Line Reunion get-togethers in Bromstead?
I was there the one before last with my misses. I posted pictures on the Bank Line Nostalgia web site.
Most of the attendees were deck, but it was good to meet guys I had sailed with 40 years previously. They are held every 2 years.
Kevin Todd
15th February 2015, 12:42
Hi Bryan,
I haven't been to any of the reunions. Main reason is I live in France so it would be quite a hike to get there. Still, never say never!
15th February 2015, 16:55
I live in the USA Kevin and Alan Smaldon lives in South Africa. We made it. (Pint)Have you lost the craving for good English beer?
Kevin Todd
15th February 2015, 18:47
Hello again Bryan,
Where exactly in the USA? Just curious.
15th February 2015, 20:50
Norwalk, Connecticut. Underneath all the snow. :-)
Kevin Todd
18th February 2015, 19:43
Hello again Bryan,
Nice part of the world you live in, at least it is when it ain't covered in snow! We (Marilyn and meself) are regular visitors to the good old USA, have been for a number of years.
We'll be in New York on the 25th April, spending a week in Manhattan. Then in June we're off to Seattle to spend a month in Oregon & Washington. Did Connecticut a few years ago, well remember the beautiful Berkshires and other places.
Hope the 'orrible white stuff disappears from your neck of the woods soon. We don't allow snow in the Charente.
PS - No I haven't lost the craving for a good pint although we tend to enjoy the odd glass (or six) of Bordeaux where we are!!

At last the search is over… we finally meet our match, literally! Chris and I met on Match.com. For me, I had tried the site many times over the years. For Chris, it was his first!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Sending everyone all of our love today!
A Valentine's Day Story: Alana and Michael
Michael and I met via Match.com and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect fit to my life. Our first date, by mistake, was on Valentine's Day of 2012 (he still thinks I set him up on purpose to meet this day because I needed a V-day date…so not the case). We met in my home city of Huntington Beach on Main Street which is a well-known and very busy street. Once I had parked and walked in to meet Michael, the entire city had a blackout. I had to try and find him in the dark–exciting but scary. We sat for 2 hours under candle light getting to know each other waiting for the lights to come on. A year later I relocated to Sacramento as he had moved back earlier that year for work–and today I am ENGAGED to marry my soul mate.
UPDATE: In June 2014, the man of my dreams married me in a beautiful rustic/vintage barn setting with 170 guests to witness. It was also on that day that we "officially" announced to friends and family who didn't already know, that we were a couple made from Match.com. A few of the adults were shocked that we met online, but most of the crowd just fell in love with the thought that it really CAN happen. We had so many people coming up to us telling us about their personal stories, or confirming they were going to give it a shot as our story had been so inspiring.
Fast forward to 2015 and The Klingman's (that's Michael and I) are happy to announce we are 4 months away from having our first child – a sweet baby girl. My life is beyond perfect and more than I could have ever asked for. Michael and I often talk about where we would be today had our paths not crossed with him relocating temporarily to Orange County, and both of us jumping on Match.com. It's a true love story and I thank God every day for bringing so much happiness into our lives. We are lucky and we know it.

So Emojional… Why U.S. Singles Use Emojis
Written by Dr. Justin R. Garcia
If you had asked me a year ago what I thought of emoticons and emojis, I would have said they are fun and entertaining, but I probably wouldn't have thought they could help our understanding of human behavior. But as more and more people of varying ages in my own social networks – family, friends, colleagues, dates – use emoticons and emojis, and as I finally learned when to employ the dancing ladies and monkey face, I've come to appreciate them as something more than funny little characters. And I've joined the growing number of behavioral scientists who believe that emoticons and emojis are part of a new form of nonverbal communication in an age of rapid mobile interaction that can help us understand human affect – the tendency and desire to have emotional expression and engagement with others.
In this year's annual Singles in America study done with Match, we surveyed a nationally representative sample of over 5,600 U.S. singles aged 18 to 70+ years. We asked a host of questions about emoticon and emoji use among single men and women. Our findings confirm that these characters have infiltrated language in the U.S. and have become an important part of the way people express themselves — and even flirt.
When we asked U.S. singles why they use emojis, the top three reasons were:
PERSONALITY: They give my text messages more personality (49% men, 53% women)
EMOTION: It's easier for me to express my feelings (37% men, 36% women)
CONVENIENCE: It's faster and easier than writing a full message (21% men, 18% women)
Today, vast numbers of Americans are using emoticons and emojis to express their personalities, inner thoughts and feelings. But be warned: While 40% of singles use emoticons and emojis regularly, nearly 75% agree that using between 1-3 of them in a conversation with a potential date is appropriate… more than that and you might just text yourself out of the dating market.
We also asked which emojis singles regularly use to flirt with a date in order to better understand their role in people's romantic lives. The top three were:
Winky face (53% of singles)
Smiley face (38% of singles)
Kissy face (27% of singles)
And if you still doubt that emoticon and emoji users are emotionally expressive, you might be interested to know that 62% of regular emoji users who are single want to get married, compared to only 30% of non-emoji users. Moreover, single emoji users are more likely to want to find a romantic partner who is comfortable with communicating his or her wants and needs.
Emoji users are also much more likely to be actively dating, with some 52% of emoji-using singles having gone on at least one first date in 2014 (compared to 27% of singles who never use them). And emoji users were also more likely to have had sex, with 54% of emoji-using singles and 31% of non-emoji using singles reporting sexual activity in 2014. Further, when restricting ages to those in their 20s, 30s, or 40s, regular emoji users were much more likely than non-emoji users to report having sex at least once per month last year (45% of men and 40% of women vs. 26% of men and 20% of women, respectively).
Being emojional appears to be associated with a suite of dating-related activities not otherwise accounted for by gender or age alone. It appears that single emoji users are exercising modern technology to communicate and express emotions — and are, in fact, more socially engaged. Those fun and entertaining characters are changing what we know about intimate communication, flirting, and how the evolved human brain makes use of the world around it.

Dr. Justin R. Garcia is Assistant Professor of Gender Studies and Director of Education and Research Training at The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. His research focuses on the evolutionary bases of human romantic and sexual behaviors, and the role of close relationships in health. He is co-author of Evolution and Human Sexual Behavior (Harvard University Press, 2013). Dr. Garcia is also Scientific Advisor to Match.com and one of the principal investigators for Singles in America.

Trending Topics February 6, 2015
Today's Trending Topics is all about George Clooney and what we've uncovered about him in our 5th Annual Singles in America study. (Well, what we've uncovered about single men in general.) We're calling it the "Clooney Effect."
Like George Clooney, many men seek the "new woman" – someone who is smart, powerful and self-sufficient. 87% of single men would date a woman who makes 'considerably more' money and who is considerably better-educated and more intellectual than themselves; 86% seek a woman who is confident and self-assured, and 39% would also make a long-term commitment to a woman who is 10 or more years older.
This trend is sweeping the nation. Here are a few of our favorite "Clooney Effect" couples:
Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied
- Portman was a semi-finalist in the Intel Science Talent Search competition in high school. She studied neuroscience and psychology at Harvard University and attended graduate school at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem. She's fluent in Hebrew and has studied Japanese, Arabic, French, and German.
Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman
- Banks graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania. She's also a member of the Massachusetts Junior Classical League.
Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman
- Beckinsale won the W.H. Smith Young Writerss Competition twice in her teens for short stories and poems. She also studied French and Russian literature at New College, Oxford. She's fluent in French, Russian, and German. As if that's not enough, she also has a reported IQ of 152.
Shakira and Gerard Piqué
- Shakira is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and a member of the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. In addition to her native Spanish, she speaks English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic and Catalan.
Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy
- Danes studied psychology at Yale and attended the Dalton School, the New York City Lab School for Collaborative Studies, the Professional Performing Arts School, and the French-speaking Lycée Français de Los Angeles.
Match Presents The 5th Annual Singles in America Study
In its fifth year, Match's Singles in America study examines the attitudes and behaviors of over 5,600 singles across the nation, of every ethnicity and religion, from 18-70+ in age, in order to get a full glimpse on how singles view love and relationships today. With the help of our friends at Research Now and super-smart people like Dr. Helen Fisher and Dr. Justin R. Garcia, we asked over 100 questions covering a multitude of topics ranging from love and technology to the effect that independent, educated women are having on single men. Ready to find out what singles really had to say? Click here for more info!

Could someone suggest what's the best approach to go about this:
What I like to do is draw a continuous poll (or query) of a database table. And anytime a new update has occurred, I want to push this to the client in a Java application. The idea is users can suggest what data they want to subscribe to and define an event-handler to handle any incoming data.
I therefore need to have the polling being done in the background. But I seem to having trouble with doing this correctly. I'm looking at using a simple event bus for local JVM pub/sub, but I can't seem to get the asynchronous continuous polling going.

Jesse Crain Makes An Unwise Choice To Pitch For Team Canada In World Baseball Classic
Jesse Crain has decided that he will be pitching for Team Canada in the upcoming World Baseball Classic (WBC). I hope that this doesn't affect how Crain pitches for the Chicago White Sox come 2013. In fact, I hope that any White Sox player who will be playing in the WBC won't be adversely affected.
I have nothing against playing for your country. In fact, I enjoy watching NHL players play in the Olympics. But there is the difference between playing in the Olympics and playing in the WBC. At least for me, the Olympics are a lot bigger deal then the WBC.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Crain said "We have a lot of time to get ready. I'll have about 3 1/2 weeks with my team before I report (to Team Canada) on March 3. I got to think I'll get into one or two spring training games before I leave."
I hope for Crain's sake, and for the White Sox's, that the Canadian team doesn't use him that much. I don't want to see Crain get hurt or look tired later on during the season. I also sincerely hope that the lack of Spring Training games won't affect how he pitches as well.
My opinion is that playing in the WBC affects a pitcher like Crain more than Alex Rios, for example, who is playing for Team Puerto Rico. Crain's arm might become more tired later in the 2013 season due to some of the innings he would pitch for Team Canada. I don't believe that the extra at-bats that Rios will have will affect him as adversely as Crain's extra pitches will.
I don't want any White Sox players to play in the WBC, but I know that won't happen. I just hope that Crain's decision doesn't hurt him.

The Chinese Medicinal Herb Farm
A Cultivator's Guide to Small-Scale Organic Herb Production
Reviewed by
Elizabeth Millard
As demand for medicinal herbs continues to grow, transitioning to local cultivation is crucial, believes author Peg Schafer. Not only will growers be able to vouch for the purity of their herbs, but also wild plants will be more protected and allowed to flourish.
Fortunately, Schafer provides a stellar guidebook for those who want to focus on growing Chinese herbs, or just learn more about the broad array of uses for these miraculous plants. A longtime grower and teacher, Schafer brings her passion and commitment into every aspect of her advice. She discusses how, over the course of 14 years, she's experimented with growing over 250 different herbs, and was inspired to write this guide as a way to encourage others to take up the task as well.
She writes, "To my surprise, I've discovered that there are still very few other growers of these remarkable plants. So…tag—you're it!" For those willing to take up the game, she provides a wealth of wisdom, including practical information on cultivation, descriptions of changes taking place in current medicinal plant trade practices, and herb quality and conservation. Much of this information was largely unpublished until now, Schafer notes, making her work even more useful.
After providing a compelling argument for cultivating Asian botanicals and then digging into aspects like soil health, seed starting, and seasonal care, Schafer delves into an extensive list of medicinal herb profiles.
Expertly organized, each profile includes a description and photograph of the plant, propagation advice, suitable companions, field production, associated pests and diseases, and harvest predictions. A separate sidebar to each herb gives a few paragraphs about the specific medicinal uses of that particular plant. Occasionally, she'll even throw in a recipe or additional photos of the plant's distinctive characteristics.
The straightforward, very detailed information on each herb is invaluable and easy to follow. Schafer will make an ideal mentor for any gardener, farmer, or herb enthusiast willing to respond to her call.

impurities in clay
I have some clay that once had green mold in it. Now it is very, very dry (has been dry for a couple of years). Is it ok to use or what will happen if I do use it?
Its fine bust it up with a hammer put it in a bucket and just slake it down with water, the mold won't hurt it. Leave it in the bucket for a couple of day til it is mush. Get an old pillow case put the mushy clay in it tie it closed with a string. Either hang the case up to air dry or place the closed caseful of clay on dry concrete out of the direct sun and allow it to dry to a wedgable consistency(general take 2 or 3 days check it a few time a day to know it drying rate). Wedge it up and bag in a thick garbage bag.
As pea said, it is fine to use....it won't hurt the clay at all...BUT, I find, depending on how you plan on glazing it, that you want to make sure you put it through a slow bisque firing first to make sure that all of the organic impurities come out of the clay...they can cause bubbles in your glaze if they are not completely burned out...and take the glaze firing slow too...so that any higher temp residual material can escape while the glaze is fluid. Safety first as well..wear a mask when you break it up..silica dust from the clay is bad enough..who knows what kind of mold that is!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Resolve MDC's future
The Province of Manitoba created a working group in 2010 to study options for the future of the Manitoba Developmental Centre, an institution for those with severe intellectual disabilities.
Four years later, and the public is still waiting for an answer.
More important, the disability community has grown impatient over an issue it believes is a matter not just of good health and social policy, but also fundamental human rights. If they are correct, then the 220 residents of the MDC are suffering a loss of dignity and well-being because of Broadway's refusal to act.
The MDC used to manage about 1,500 clients in the 1960s at its centre in Portage la Prairie, but the numbers started to fall dramatically in the 1980s under new government policy that embraced the idea that people with mental health and intellectual disabilities should be deinstitutionalized and integrated into the community.
That trend has continued unabated and most provinces have shuttered their old institutions and moved patients into community-living arrangements. The St. Amant Centre is also slowly relocating clients with severe disabilities.
The MDC is not accepting new patients, but the government recently invested $40 million in upgrading the ancient facility, suggesting it either intends to operate until the last resident dies, or it will give it a new mandate, possibly as a treatment centre for individuals with acute problems, such as fetal alcohol syndrome.
The latter option makes the most sense, but the problem is the province has refused to shed any light on its intentions, saying only it is waiting for the report of a working group.
With well-paying union jobs at stake in the rural community, however, critics have said the government doesn't want to make a decision that might upset both the town and organized labour.
It's also possible, however, that the province honestly believes the residential facility provides a necessary option for some clients. The argument goes, some people with severe developmental disabilities and intense medical requirements need the kind of care and protection that can only be provided in an institutional setting.
The fact that most provinces have closed similar institutions, moreover, is not an argument for shuffling out the last residents of the MDC.
Group homes are more natural settings than institutions, but they may not be suitable for every individual with an extreme disability.
Indeed, the move to house mental health patients in the community in the 1980s resulted in a series of unintended consequences. Many ended up living alone in the inner city without the promised supports, while others became involved with the criminal justice system. Penitentiaries reported in the late 1990s an influx of prisoners with mental health problems.
The disabilities of those in the MDC are so severe that most would require regular supervision in a group home, but some guardians have said they are more comfortable with an institutional setting, which at least some clients regard as home.
A Toronto law firm that files class-action lawsuits against institutions like the MDC has announced it is looking for a current or former client of the facility to launch a similar action here.
The threat may have no direct bearing on the future of the facility, but in considering its options the government must be sure that keeping disabled people in a locked institution is not inherently wrong or a violation of human rights. No one with an intellectual disability should be institutionalized unless they have severe medical needs too.
This a complex issue, but the government is only prolonging the controversy by refusing to make a decision, or at least provide data on the residents so independent observers can assess their needs.
The province must either defend the status quo, or propose an alternative that is in the best interests of those with severe intellectual handicaps.

Open Until Filled
About Us
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC), a nonprofit organization with more than 160,000 members and supporters, is the nation's largest trails organization dedicated to connecting people and communities by creating a nationwide network of public trails, many from former rail lines and connecting corridors. Founded in 1986, RTC's national office is located in Washington, D.C., with regional offices in California, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Currently, the main focus is the Circuit— Philadelphia's regional trail system—a 750-mile network of bicycle and pedestrian trails connecting people to jobs, communities and parks in the Greater Philadelphia Region. To date, 300+ miles have been built. RTC has been tasked with carrying out a series of trail development initiatives towards the build out of the Circuit trail network.
Serving as RTC's central manager for the Circuit project, the PM will:

Duties include but are not limited to the following:
- Managing a portfolio of technical assistance projects in the Circuit region

Josh Hutcherson to Play Peeta in the Hunger Games; Liam Hemsworth to Play Gale 2011-04-04 10:37:27
The Hunger Games Locks In Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth For Peeta and Gale
After a couple of weeks of rumors and speculation, Lionsgate has officially chosen its male leads for The Hunger Games. Josh Hutcherson beat a handful of other strapping young lads to play Peeta, a baker's son who's chosen to participate in The Hunger Games along with Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence). Liam Hemsworth has nabbed the smaller role of Gale, Katniss's BFF that she leaves behind when she's forced to participate in the games.
I can definitely see Hutcherson as self-deprecating but charming Peeta (even though the character technically has blond hair), while Hemsworth should do fine as quiet, broody Gale. I know fans of the books have strong feelings about who they've been envisioning in the roles, so can you see these gentlemen alongside Jennifer Lawrence?
