Here were the previous posts, the last one being in April. On June 11, I took the photo below, and since then had not been back until yesterday. Note how far along the Bayonne Bridge was on that date, as well
Here's a closer up of the rigging on June 11.
Now let's jump forward to yesterday, August 15. Note where the crane barge
Claude G. Forbes started the morning, and
and check the progressing in rigging, compared with photo #2 above.
Yard tug Jay Bee V came out to
reposition the barge. Note the mizzen on the background.
Then the crane pivoted around and
the block was lowered and
straps added and
all systems checked and
then slowly tensioned. One end of the mast lifted from off the deck
BUT then it was lowered. I waited around for an hour more, but then had other places to be. I'll have to pick up the Wavertree story another time.
Since I mentioned the Bayonne Bridge–its own process–here's what the work looks like as of August 15 from over off the west end of Caddell Dry Dock .. . aka ex-Blissenbach Marina now known as Heritage Park, which in my opinion, should have foliage trimmed so as to be more user friendly for land-based photographers.
Thanks to everyone who braved the heat last night and came to the showing of Graves of Arthur Kill. Special thanks to those wizards who problem-solved our way through the technical challenges, except I had brought along an antepenultimate version . . . and sorry I didn't have a chance to talk with everyone there. What you want–prepare for an explicit commercial message here– is this version, which Gary and I call "the director's cut," available for a mere $11.99.
While I'm doing "commercials," here's an opportunity for the right people to sail offshore on South Street Seaport Museum's 1893 fishing schooner, up to Gloucester for the 2016 schooner races, or back, or some portion thereof. Click here for some of the many Lettie G. Howard posts I've done over the years.
All photos here by Will Van Dorp.
As a review, here and here were the posts I did on Wavertree going TO Caddell 11 months ago, and here is the series 1 through 4 focusing on Wavertree AT Caddell's.
Below was she on March 10. While I was away, she was refloated.
Below is March 19. To my surprise, the masts had been unstepped.
And below was yesterday, April 17, the day when Executive Director of South Street Seaport Museum, Jonathan Boulware, conducted a tour of the work in progress. Any errors in this reportage are due to my having forgotten my pen and pad.
Since the masts–at up to 20 tons each, if I heard that right–were unstepped, their cleanup and refurbishment has begun.
A house has been built over the whaleback stern to protect the interior spaces. There is some beautiful birdseye maple panelling in there.
The underside of the whaleback shows the details of work already completed.
This is the interior of the upper stern, looking to starboard.
Access to the cargo areas during the tour was forward.
I'm eager to see what work gets done to the bowsprit. Check out this post (and scroll) from many years ago when Frank Hanavan and I put fresh paint on that bowsprit.
This is a new deck . . . the tweendeck. If you've ever eaten on Moshulu in Philadelphia, the restaurant is in this space.
Wavertree had a tweendeck back in 1895, when she called briefly in the sixth boro, which you can read about here (scroll). In the photo below, you are looking through a hatch in the tweendeck down into the main cargo hold.
And here is the main payload space, the cathedral of cargo, looking toward the stern. On a modern vessel, this would be divided into watertight compartments.
I can't say this is the manufacturer, but this is the concept–as I understand it–for this ballast.
Mainmast will be restepped here.
Here Jonathan explains the spar work.
When the project is completed, all these spars will be aloft and potentially functional.
This cross section of a spar shows the lamination of the wood. Some of these products are provided–I believe–by Unalam.
Here are some of the finer spars, along
with the directions for re-assembly.
Work going on in the rigging shed included stripping off the old coatings and recovering the high quality old wire of the standing rigging.
Worming, parcelling, and serving protects the wire and produces such sweet smells of pine tar.
Many thanks to South Street Seaport Museum for offering this work progress tour. Any errors here are unintentional and mine.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who thinks anyone who hasn't read A Dream of Tall Ships by the late great Peter Stanford would really enjoy the saga of Wavertree's arrival in the sixth boro as told in that book.
Remember the logic in this series is . . . the first pic of the month and the last pic of the month . . .
Early September found me still along the Acushnet . . . Malena–as of this writing–is in Sierra Leone, having bounced around the Caribbean since departing New Bedford.
By September's end, Wavertree was slathered in a beautiful red primer.
Early October . . . that's North Star off the Orient Point, and Plum Gut, with Plum Island in the background.
Late October . . . a conversation led to an invitation to tour iMTT Bayonne and see Marion Moran at the tug fuel station from the waterside. I still need to post about that.
November . . . and Med Sea bound for the Sound and beyond.
Joyce D. Brown going back to the kills.
And late in the month, my only view of Patty Nolan, on the hard in Verplanck. Click here for some of many posts on the 1931 Patty.
Early December . . .it's mild and I decided to experiment with some color separation on Margaret Moran. Click here for a post from seven-plus years ago with Margaret Moran . . .
And since December has not yet ended, I will post this in its incomplete state, with the promise of a "last December 2015" post yet to come.
This is my last post for 2015. Happy New Year. May it be peaceful and safe.
Here are previous posts in this series. All photos below come compliments of Mike Weiss and were taken on September 24, i.e., about a month after Wavertree rose out of the water on Caddell Dry Dock No. 6.
Rather than a very satisfying sifting through the index above, you can read a short history of Wavertree here.
Many thanks, Mike.
Time to renew your South Street Seaport Museum membership?
Here are posts about Wavertree's trip to the dry dock and before. And below are two photos I hadn't used in those posts.
In the past 10 weeks, prep for the actual dry docking has resulted in loss of at least a foot and a half of draft. Mussels once submerged have lost their habitat.
Let's descend into through the forward cargo hatch to see where a cavernous hold is getting even more cavernous.
Note the ladder beyond the foremast, as seen from standing to starboard of the keelson.
Looking to the stern from the 'tween decks. As Mike Weiss said, "a cathedral of cargo."
Looking astern from atop a makeshift block of ballast on the port side of vessel. That's the main cargo hatch prominent in the center of the photo. My response to Mike's quote is "an ark of angled wrought iron."
This is how the skeleton of a 130-year-old vessel looks.
Looking toward the rudder post from the 'tween decks.
Returned to the main deck looking forward at the cargo hatches.
Removal of extraneous and/or non-original weight has included belgian block and large concrete block ballast. This water tank may be original
And here are the credits.
Many thanks to Mike Weiss and South Street Seaport Museum for the tour; click on that link for membership info. August promises to be more prep work for dry docking.

Click here for CSM article about the 1983 initial and partial restoration of Wavertree.
There's winter sail, spring sail, and autumn sail. And today I'm just staying inside culling photos. Since moving by wind has been around for millennia, Pioneer is a relatively modern vessel.
This vessel below can be "insanely fast." I took this photos and ones that follow back on May 11, 2015 in Morris Canal.
Here's another sixth boro regular, the largest NYC-based schooner. See her here in winter maintenance.
Here LC2's just finished the 635 nm run in less than 24 hours.
From Seth Tane on the Columbia River, it's HMCS Oriole, US-built in 1921.
I'd love to see the interior of Lending Club 2, but my guess is . . . spartan.
Also from back in May . . . it's Wavertree in the last feet of its transit for a major makeover, Thomas J. Brown sliding her over.
Here's another shot of L'Hermione entering the Upper Bay for the first time.
And what do you make of this?
Maybe more on that last photo tomorrow.
Except for the photo by Seth Tane, all photos by Will Van Dorp.
Click here to scan the many posts with KVK in the title. Here's a new one inspired by arrivals that had many folks, aship and ashore, paying attention.
Wavertree is suddenly and lavishly being regaled with sights of 21st century merchant vessels
and crew from all over the world are paying attention.
And a mile farther east, at the old gypsum dock, tugboats like Laura K Moran and
Stephen B pass.
If you want to read a good book about when and how the US took possession of Eagle, read Captain Gordon McGowan's The Skipper and the Eagle. The book has an introduction by Peter Stanford, a foreword by Alan Villiers, and the journey starts out from NYC's own LaGuardia.
I have many more closeups of the barque; maybe
I'll put them up if I get encouragement. A previous posts featuring Eagle can be seen here. For a comparison of steering apparatus on Eagle with other vessels, click here.
Here Swallow Ace crew check out an Eagle.
The long street on the landside of this portion of the Kills is called Richmond Terrace. For photos and explanation of what is and used to be there, click here and here, from the ever fascinating forgotten-by.com. Click here to see an image of a square rigger bulk carrier docked in front of Windsor Plaster Mills, now an Eastern Salt facility, in its heyday.

Ocean Tower passes the tow of Wavertree, aka "ocean wanderer."
At the east end of Caddell Dry Dock.
Joyce D., no longer the newest Brown boat.
Between Atlantic Salt and Caddell.
In the Morris Canal.
At the southwest end of Shooters aka Mariners Harbor.
On the Shooters Island end of the Bayonne Bridge.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
A video of the welcome of Half Moon now in Hoorn.
A fun 8-minute 7-day trip from the Hudson River to the Thousand Islands via the Erie Canal, with ALL the locks!
A less-professional video of the arrival of Half Moon in Hoorn, but showing music by the Musiek Boot, delightful man of the waters, Reinier Sijpkens, (click here and scroll) who entertained here in the sixth boro six years ago.
This post shows the second leg of what felt like an epic journey, but first let's back up about 10 minutes. See the small blue vessel just off the bow of Wavertree?
It's a King's Point vessel, and leaning out of the house, it's Capt. Jonathan Kabak, formerly master of Pioneer, Lettie G. Howard, and other vessels.
So let's resume . . . the tow travels west of Caddell and rounds up against the tide, ever so
gracefully–to my eyes–making its way to the dock. Thomas J. Brown and later Rae working the port side.
it took a full quarter hour to spin Wavertree 180 degrees and inch it across the KVK, but then the heaving line flew, followed by the dock line.
Thomas J. and Rae worked this side in coordination with Pelham–invisible all this time from my perspective–on the starboard side.
Lots of money will be spent and sweat expended before the NEXT leg of the journey.
The 2001 (or earlier??) photo below comes from Mike Weiss, SSSM waterfront foreman. It shows a more complete rig.
Also from Mike's FB post, the photo below shows Wavertree in her Argentina barge days. For the saga of Peter Stanford's efforts to get this hull from Argentina to the sixth boro, read A Dream of Tall Ships starting from p. 221. Actually, the whole book makes an excellent read.
All photos except the last two by Will Van Dorp, who is eager to see Wavertree's transformation in the year to come.
From gCaptain, here's a good explanation of National Maritime Day, yesterday.
Bravo to South Street Seaport Museum and all its supporters. From their press release: "A celebratory send-off on May 21, 2015 at 12:30pm on Pier 15, with Tom Finkelpearl, Commissioner of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs; Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer; City Council Member Margaret Chin; Dr. Feniosky Peña-Mora, Commissioner of the Department of Design and Construction; Captain Jonathan Boulware, South Street Seaport Museum Executive Director; and other City Officials."
"This $10.6 million stabilization and restoration project is funded by the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York City Council Office, and the Office of the Manhattan Borough President. The project will be undertaken at Caddell Drydock and Repair in Staten Island and will address critical long-term preservation of the ship."
This will be a long visit to the yard.
If you want to see her at the East River dock, you've got only about 48 more hours.
For photos of Wavertree arriving in NYC in 1970 and in Argentina before that, click here and scroll.
The black-hulled tall ship along Wavertree is Peking. For some photos from her last trip to the yard click here and here.
Wavertree, steady as she goes.
Tangentially related: given that Wavertree–like Peking–is a "wind ship" without auxiliary power, here's some exciting news from New England Waterman blog

The Mesa County District Attorney's office filed charges Friday in the case against 23-year-old Jonathan Roy.
Roy is an active duty marine accused of sexually assaulting a teen he met at the Grand Junction Air Show last year.
The 23-year-old was extradited from Buckley Air Force Base to the Mesa County Jail. He has since bonded out.

As you know from my husband's email our trip was unbelievable! Everything was perfect……..pick up at the airport, all of the castles (I really cannot pick a favorite as they were all so unique and wonderful), the itinerary, the transportation arrangements…….we could not have been more pleased. Our tour guide, Mark Lyons, was INCREDIBLE! He was such a great guy. On our very first day he made us feel so welcome and comfortable that it felt like we knew him our whole lives. He was personable, funny, considerate, and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much about Ireland during this trip. When we asked for recommendations, whether it was where to eat lunch or where to buy the best sweater or gift he always gave us 2 or 3 suggestions and was always spot on with any of them….we always found what we wanted and at reasonable prices. Mark made sure that our trip was the trip of a lifetime……and for us it certainly was. We will certainly be keeping a close eye on the trips offered by Sheenco Travel and will recommend your vacations to all of our family and friends. A huge thank you for making this a trip we will always remember and cherish!

- The self drive worked out perfectly – the days weren't too long with driving, and they were broken up nicely with things to see along the way. Through your reservation, we ended up with an Alambra SUV for the car from Hertz, and it was the perfect size for all of our luggage and we were super comfortable the whole day.
- Aberdeen worked out very well for us — we had dinners in the city and then during the day we went to the beach and then two castles – Dunnotarr at Stonehaven and then Craigivere Castle.
- Pitlochry was one of our favorite places! I would have loved to stay there even longer–maybe on another trip!
- Your distillery recommendations were spot on.
- The Bonham and Fonab were outstanding. Everyone was so kind everywhere. The castle hotel in Invergarry was so special–we loved it. Brandi and Steven were convinced their room had a ghost!
- It would have been great to know that some places (such as Invergarry and Pitlochry) are best to eat at the hotel and not try to search for other places. The hotel restaurants were the best around, and we called ahead to reserve a spot and it's good that we did since they were so busy.

- Accommodations – we really liked all of them, but the Malton was probably our favorite, with Knockranny House a very close second. The Malton's grounds are beautiful, as well as the hotel, and an added bonus was a children's play area outside where our 15-month old grandson could run off some energy. I have to mention that several times when locals asked where we were staying, and we replied the Malton or Knockranny, the response was "wow, how did you get in there? That place is fabulous!" We felt very special! The only thing I have to mention that took us by surprise was the lack of air conditioning in some of the hotels. Being spoiled Americans who love their A/C, and the weather being warmer than usual for the time of year, the rooms were at times stuffy. In all my reading on the internet about Ireland vacations, I never ran across anything that commented on the lack of air conditioning. It makes sense with the age of the beautiful buildings, but it might be nice for you to possibly comment on this with the accommodations. We were able to upgrade to rooms with A/C at the Ashling (extra 30 euros per night), and the evenings were a little cooler at the Malton (but fans provided in each of the rooms), Knockranny and Clontarf so we got by.
- Transportations arrangements – these were fabulous! Our driver, Mark Lyons, was amazing with his knowledge, personality, wit, professionalism and true desire to make this trip as special as possible for us. In addition, he was wonderful with our grandson! The added bonus was that with our small group (10 people) Mark drove a mini-coach that he was able to take on 2-lane roads through the countryside and along the ocean. I'm certain we saw things that people on the 50-passenger coaches are never able to see close up. It was also because of Mark's tenacity that we were able to find our great, great grandparents' homestead in County Mayo! That was certainly an emotional highlight of the trip, and I will forever be grateful to Mark for helping us with that. There are still a couple partial walls standing, and it is in the shadows of Croagh Patrick, which can be seen in the distance. Simply amazing! The mini-coach was immaculately clean and very comfortable. Mark was a fanatic about cleaning the windows often, and sprucing up the inside each night. Great choice for transportation!
- Restaurants and reservations – We ate at Bank on College Green in Dublin and loved it! We were running late after doing the Dingle Peninsula and had to call to cancel the reservation at Treyvauds. We ate at An Port Mor in Westport. This was exceptional!! This was the day that several in our party climbed Croagh Patrick, and we were also running late that day. I called An Port Mor to let them know, and they were so accommodating. We were given our own small upper room to dine in. The atmosphere, the servers, and the food were all wonderful! I would highly recommend this restaurant!!
- Customer service from Sheenco Travel – every single employee I interacted with was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, exceedingly prompt with responses, and truly seemed to want to make our vacation the best possible! With this being our first vacation overseas, we had MANY questions, and each was answered with patience and caring. From the first airport transfer, to the hotel reservations, to the mini-coach tour, to the dining reservations, to the last airport transfer – each was seamless and without a glitch! It truly is a testament to you and your staff that this vacation was effortless on our part. All we had to do was sit back and enjoy! And that we did!! It was a joy from beginning to end, and we were all sad to leave. Your company made this trip a magical experience! Kudos to all your employees, and you have our deepest gratitude!
I really don't know what else to say. I wish there was some way I could include even more superlatives. It is honestly beyond description how much we enjoyed this vacation. We would all like to come back again and explore more of the out-of-the-way locations, and spend more time just drinking in the beauty of Ireland.Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

We had a great time – and it was in no small part due to the great itinerary you guys put together, and the wonderful driver – Jerry – you selected for us. Spending time with Jerry was truly one of the highlights of our trip, and he did a great job responding to our requests to divert from the itinerary and try a few new places, and could not have been nicer and more accommodating. As for the hotels, we particularly enjoyed staying in the castle you all selected for us. Please know I will recommend you to anyone and everyone, and I am happy to serve as a reference if the occasion ever arises when I might be able to be helpful. Thanks again for everything, and my best to you and your team at Sheenco.

Heather Garcia, TX, Custom Self Drive, March 2014
I am struggling for words to describe our vacation, amazing, mind blowing, and beautiful are the first things that come to mind. From the first conversation I had with Gerard I knew this was going to be great, I had no idea how great it would be though. The accommodation's were amazing. Everywhere we went we had no issues checking in and the people we so kind. The suggested sites to visit were very helpful in planning our days. We really enjoyed driving between towns and getting to experience your beautiful home. The entire staff of Sheenco deserves a great big THANK YOU! My husband and I saved and planned for the this trip for a year, and it was everything we dreamed it would be. We are already talking about when we can go back! I have passed your contact information on to several friends who have mentioned that they would like to see Ireland. Again, thank you for helping us make this a wonderful trip and we look forward to traveling with you again.

Mark & Kim Deitrick, GA, Custom Self Drive, December 2013
All in all, everything went great! All of the hotels had wonderful staff and they took quite good care of us. Our two favorites were Ashford Castle and Inverlochy Castle. They were both just incredible. The Rocpool in Inverness was also very nice and the staff there was just fantastic. Cullin Hills, Hayfield Manor, The Kensington (a tiny room) and The Malton were all wonderful as well and we would have no issues staying again at any of those fine places as well. On our final itinerary, the links that you provided to the hotels really made traveling on our own much easier. Thank you for also recommending that we bring our own GPS. It made driving so much easier! I want to thank you and your staff for working with us and making this trip an experience that we won't forget. Your flexibility in reworking the trip and getting last minute payment was just wonderful and we both really appreciate it. If we know of anyone planning a trip to the UK or Ireland, we will not hesitate to refer them to you as we know you will provide them with a first rate trip!

Sheila Dugan, AZ, Jewels of Ireland Tour, September 2013
Wonderful, wonderful, and wonderful are the only three words that I can think of to describe "My Trip to Ireland" this past September. I was not sure just how things would go, or what to expect because I have never been on a tour or been to Ireland. I could not have been any happier about how things went and the the wonderful places we stayed (I loved Dingle the best, I would love to live there!) But then on the other hand, I thought Kinsale and Galway were lovely. Each day seemed to be more wonderful than the day before. The accommodations and the meals were all fantastic and never a disappointment. The entertainment was so fun…I love, love to watch Irish Dancing! I really enjoyed Northern Ireland and the beauty of it. Derry was a lovely town and our guide was great! I truly think our tour group, which was very cohesive, was so lucky to have Willie Lawless as our driver and Sibeena Murphy as our guide. They are both outstanding people and it was obvious that they have a true love for Ireland. I am so proud of my Irish heritage, and how wonderful that this is the year of "The Gathering" and that I was there representing my family. When I told some of the people on my tour that you had corresponded with me and helped me on planning this trip, they said they wished they had had you. They said their travel agencies in their home towns did nothing but book the tour for them. Thank you again.

Sheenco Travel was an excellent choice for travel advice. They asked us questions, took our suggestions, answered all our questions, responded in a timely manner, and put together a vacation that was relaxed, comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable. I felt the pacing was perfect. They just seemed to know how long to stay in a place, where to stay, and what to do. They always provided helpful suggestions (example: don't go to the Aran islands if the weather isn't good – that did happen to us, and we took the plan B suggestion and toured Kylemore Abbey and Gardens instead – and wow, what a gift!). Our first driver, Gerry Flanagan, was outstanding. He was consistently prompt (always early), helpful, positive, and took us to out-of-the-way spots on a couple of occasions (ex. After we toured the Bog Village (Gerry went with us and was our personal tour guide – he seemed to know everybody and he also knew a lot of facts), he took us to a local farmer named Brendan, who trained dogs to lead sheep – we saw his demonstration and it was fascinating – very colorful character – good with groups – and it was a fun activity for us), and he gave good suggestions for places to eat ("This place has a great apple pie" or at Paddy Short's – "I stop here a lot – food is good, typical Irish food"). Sadly, five days into the trip, Gerry needed to go home to be with his family for personal reasons. It was a smooth transition to Liam Sayers, a retired math professor who spoke fluent Gaelic. Because we are both teachers, it was fun having a teacher drive us, and the flavor of the trip was a bit different from Gerry (not better, not worse – just different) so we feel blessed to have had two fabulous drivers on our trip. Liam, just like Gerry, was always prompt and helpful. Both drivers made us feel relaxed and comfortable and never in a hurry. Our accommodations were beyond our wildest dreams. Everything from exquisite food to impeccable service to beautiful rooms was such a gift to us. Our favorite castle was Ballynahinch!! Friendly, warm, relaxed, helpful. We felt a bit more at home there (maybe it was the firewood next to the pub!) and were thankful for two nights. We did a lot of walking, and enjoyed the trails by the Ballynahinch River. We did get to the Danny Mann Pub and saw a great concert – "Celtic Whisper" – fabulous! Fabulous! We bought their cd. Also enjoyed Blarney Inn Pub in Dublin – went there two nights – very friendly and delicious Irish stew!! We loved and appreciated all your suggestions and took most of them – Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher, Blarney Castle (and yes, we climbed the 100 windy, narrow, steep stairs to kiss that stone), riverboat cruise on the Liffey River, Trinity College and the Book of Kells (had a great student guide who was both entertaining and interesting), Temple Bar, Dublin Castle gardens, Muckross House and Gardens, Waterford Museum and Waterford Castle, Powerscourt House and Gardens, Glendalough, Wicklow Mountains, Reginald Tower in Waterford, Killarney, Kilkenny, Adare, Cork, lots of ruins and monastic settlements, the Burren and that burial tomb, Ailwee Caves, Limerick, King John's Castle, Connemarra, Galway…I mean, we saw and did far more than we ever imagined we would. The beauty of having a driver, of course, is the flexibility – we stopped often to admire views and take pictures. We would recommend a driver to anyone thinking of touring. Liam even recited a famous Gaelic poem for us and let us record him on our cell phone! Some surprises: no Half and Half in Ireland for coffee, and I don't like milk in coffee, so I learned to ask for "pouring cream", and that was yummy! Water in glass bottles that you just use but don't have to buy…butter served in little triangular wedges… Brie and warm tomatoes at breakfast… We had nine days of complete sunshine!!! Everyone kept telling us how unusual that was. Ireland was actually undergoing a heat wave while we there – some days in the 90's – and they do not have air conditioning, so we did find some nights difficult for sleeping – there were fans for us to use but it was still almost unbearable – but that's nobody's fault. In fact, at Dromoland it was the hottest day and our room was stifling. Fred asked at the front desk if we could possibly have another, cooler room, and the gal could not have been more gracious and accommodating – a new room was provided immediately – on a lower floor – we were very grateful. Food there at Dromoland was much more expensive than anywhere else (a simple risotto dish for me and a chicken sandwich for Fred came to 50 euros), but at least the food was good!! Only one rainy day and it still was warm out! When Fred asked Gerry to find an ATM, he did, and Fred could not believe how easy it was to use – it was just like in America!! And when we arrived at Clondarf, our last hotel, Fred needed to get our boarding passes, and that was also very easy and smooth – the gal at the desk said "Oh yes, go right over to that computer, type in this password, and you should be all set" and she was right!) For me, there were no errors, no negative things, no disappointments (okay, maybe one – when I ordered vegetable soup in an eatery, it was pureed – not like in America – but that I would consider a cultural difference, not a negative comment). Fred and I were very impressed with Sheenco Travel and we have told many of our friends. I would highly recommend them. They certainly worked tirelessly to provide a quality experience for two very grateful Americans!

Our trip to the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland was just wonderful. The team at Sheenco Travel did a superb job of locating ten beautiful and well appointed hotels for our 15 day visit, securing the nine passenger van when no one else could obtain the same and booking our ferry crossing into and returning from Scotland. It just couldn't have been better.
The selected hotels all had outstanding breakfasts and excellent dinners as well. The rooms were just as you had promised and we enjoyed them all. They were all centrally located near the tourist sites we selected to visit. We were very fortunate to have great weather during the 15 days with only a little rain, which didn't restrict our activities or travels.
All the people we encountered in the three countries were gracious, friendly and very helpful when we needed the same. We enjoyed many pubs in the small towns and villages we visited on our travels. We were fortunate to have been visiting such a pub to see Katie Taylor on TV, at the Olympics, win her semi-final fight and also the win that gave her the gold metal. What fun!
Ireland was all that the tour books said it would be, only better and the shades of green clearly seemed more than the 40 that every one claims you will see when you visit the green country called Ireland. Northern Ireland and Scotland are also beautiful and well worth visiting.
I want to thank you once again on behalf of all six of us for your efforts to make our trip exceptional and wonderful as you certainly succeeded in doing. The van you were able to secure provided us extra room for our luggage and plenty of space for each of us. We sang your praises to all hotel personnel and to everyone who asked with whom we had booked our tour. We will continue to recommend you and your firm to anyone seeking assistance in planning such a trip. One day we may return and we certainly will use your services again.

The team at Sheenco Travel was fantastic during our trip planning. They recommended and booked perfect hotels for us on our anniversary trip and helped us choose an itinerary that was tailored perfectly to our needs. We combined just the right amount of driving with the right amount of luxury accomodations with the right amount of sight-seeing. Ireland is a stunning country and we know it wouldn't have been so easy without the support of the team at Sheenco.

Foggy and Mystical.. On this day, I went to buy some eggs in the plaza, when suddenly the fog started to roll in. I just drove to the lake and started snapping photos. There was only one other photographer and few joggers. The temperature really dropped, and you could feel the chill in your bones. I stayed until the light was too low. Toronto does not get a thick fog like this very often!!

Don't mean to rain on everyone's 4th of July parade, but this is impossible! The sudden, massive acceleration would create a g-force so significant that the rider would be left behind in a broken, smoldering heap. You would think that after all these years comic strip artists would tire of drawing strips that suspend reality and the laws of physics – where's the fun in that?
There's physics — and then, there's cartoon physics.
What? You being sarcastic or acting like an old fuddy-duddy?
That suspension of the laws of physics IS the fun in that!
My husband used to dream of flying, too. No aircraft, no glider, no balloon. He simply flew.

On Major Kong and helmets… I liked how he was wearing a flight helmet until they started a bombing run then he pulled his cowboy hat out of the safe and wore that instead.
nonsense, that's a rocket that only produces a half g of thrust when weighted by a 200 lbs. caveman. perfectly plausible
And then there is engineering, testing, and the discovery that the average skyrocket acceleration is less than 3 gees.

Do you think maybe you have one system that contains two different
interfaces to serve the roles you've described?
It sounds to me that building one interface to serve all the user groups,
might make it harder for everyone to use it, and maintenance issues will
arise in the future.
Do you have the time and budget to do some user research so you can model
your users (maybe in forms of personas)? An exercise like that may help you
answer the question above and also helps you design a modular product that
is easier to maintain.
Good luck! Sounds like a fun and challenging project.

Subject: [IxDA Discuss] user centered design -> overlapping circles ->
boundary selection
[Please voluntarily trim replies to include only relevant quoted material.]
I'm working on some product strategy at the moment.
Imagine a scenario like this:
- Book publishers need a system that lets them communicate with the
Warehouse and Authors.
- The Warehouse needs a system that lets them communicate with Publishers,
but they also have need a system to communicate with Stores and manage
Inventory, etc.
If you build the system for the Publishers, then the Warehouse now has to
use two systems, which inevitably are going to have a lot of overlapping
To put it abstractly,
- User A sits at the center of a circle of concerns that includes User B
- User B sits at the center of a different circle, but theirs also includes
User A
The product starts out being designed for User A, but it doesn't seem fair
in a way to ask or require User B to use this system that then is not a
complete picture for them.
Adding the features for B for the system intended for A seems like a
slippery slope.
The question is: on what principles to base the products boundaries?
Strategically this leads to a question of which systems to compete with
(subsume) vs. interface. And if to interace, then whether communication
should be one-way or two-way?

Voluta ebraea
Voluta ebraea, common name the Hebrew volute, is a species of medium-sized sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes. The Hebrew volute is endemic to Brazil, where it its collected both for food and for its shell, which is highly desired for ornamental purposes. Recent studies indicate that natural populations of Voluta ebraea may be suffering declines due to overfishing and overexploitation.
This sea snail is found only along the north and northeastern Brazilian coast in the littoral zone. This species is endemic to those areas. It is present in many Brazilian states, including Pará, Maranhão, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe and Bahia.[1][2]
Shell description
The shell length of this species may reach and exceed 200 mm[3], up to 220 mm[2], although lengths from 100 mm to 150 mm are more common.
Voluta ebraea has a somewhat robust and solid shell, slightly elongate. It is colored cream externally, with a complex series of darker-reddish brown markings and lines that are said to resemble Hebraic figures[1]. The interior of the shell can vary in color from pale to strong orange.
The shell has seven slightly convex whorls.[1] Those whorls are ornamented by several posteriorly-oriented sharp spines. The aperture is relatively long, and as is the case in other volutes, the columella presents an array of strong oblique columellar folds (9 to 11 of them in this species[1]), which are more conspicuous anteriorly.
Sexual dimorphism can be observed in the shells of this species: the shells of the males tend to be more elongate with a smoother outer surface, whereas the shells of the females are generally wider and more nodulose.[1] The angle of the spire also differs between males and females.[1]
Much is yet to be reveled about the ecology of V. ebraea, as studies on that subject are fairly recent and/or rather scarce.
The Hebrew volute dwells in sandy bottoms, among coral and rocks.[2][3] It may be found from shallow water to depths around 40-70 m.[2][3]
Life cycle
Like other members of the Neogastropoda, Voluta ebraea is dioecious[4], which means each individual organism belonging to this species is distinctly male or female. It is also sexually dimorphic.[3]
Feeding habits
As is the case in several other volutids, the Hebrew volute is carnivorous and predatory. It is known to feed on the cardiid bivalve mollusk Trachycardium muricatum in the wild[3], whereas in captivity it has been reported to feed on the sea snails Stramonita haemastoma (a muricid carnivorous gastropod) and Tegula viridula (a top snail).[5]
Human use
The flesh of Voluta ebraea is edible[1], and it is locally collected for food in many areas. Its shell is also considered a popular and beautiful decorative object, and is sold as souvenir in local markets[3] and craft stores in several regions of Brazil.
Though little is known about the conservation status of this species, it is believed that both overfishing and overexploitation are exeting a negative effect on natural populations. This species may occur in shallow water, which tends to facilitate its harvesting by the locals. Voluta ebraea is currently not observed in many areas in which it was known to be numerous before.[3]
The imposex phenomenon has been observed in the Hebrew volute.[4] The development of masculine sexual organs in the females exposed to organic tin compounds, such as tributyltin (TBT), may have several negative consequences for entire populations of this species, from sterilization of individuals to the complete extinction of those populations. Such compounds are biocide and antifouling agents, commonly mixed in paints to prevent marine encrustations on boats and ships. Therefore it is not uncommon for high concentrations of such compounds to be present in the sea water near shipyards and docking areas, consequently exposing the nearby marine life to its deleterious effects.[4]

A Must Read - Share
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- U.S. consumers continue to deleverage, but that doesn't keep two of the major credit card lenders from continuing to expand.
One of the lovely things about credit card lenders is the availability of monthly loan balance and credit quality information for several major lenders, along with separate monthly master trust reports for all, which provide credit quality detail on their entire managed card portfolios, including securitized loans.
American Express late on Thursday reported its average credit card balances on the company's balance sheet grew to $54.6

County Executive Ike Leggett feels that Montgomery County residents have the right to expect every County department and employee to be responsive and accountable for all aspects of the services they provide.
To accomplish this goal, Leggett introduced CountyStat to improve the efficiency and responsiveness of government by using up-to-date data as the ongoing focus for day-to-day management and long-term policy making.
This month, the Executive joined Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley and Baltimore Deputy Mayor Christopher Thomaskutty in testifying at a Field Hearing of the United States Senate Committee on the Budget and the Task Force on Government Performance on "Performance Stat: Measuring Priorities, Progress and Results."
Leggett presented an overview of his CountyStat, Results-Based Accountability System, shared "lessons learned," and provided guidance on how this approach can by applied to other government agencies, in particular at the federal and state levels.

"Nokia has confirmed that some of its Bluetooth-enabled cell phones are vulnerable to "bluesnarfing," in which an attacker exploits a flaw to read, modify and copy a phone's address book and calendar without leaving any trace of the intrusion.
Networking and security company AL Digital said on Monday that it had discovered a security flaw in Bluetooth, a wireless data standard, that could allow such an attack. The flaw affects a number of Sony Ericsson, Ericsson and Nokia handsets, but some models--including a handful of Nokia phones--are at greater risk because they invite attack even when in "invisible mode," according to AL Digital.
According to AL Digital's Bluestumbler Web site, vulnerable phones incl...

When CPS removes a child from the home, if proper procedure is followed, assistance and services are supposed to be offered, along with a report informing the courts and the parent(s) whether or not the reason(s) for removing their children are founded. The report is supposed to be finished within thirty days after the incident for removal. When I asked about the required report dealing with my case the CPS worker handling my case, Allie Menzel, failed to produce one. By doing so she failed state to me or the court whether or not my case is founded. And even now, 11 months after the incident, she has not produced a report. My first attorney Paul Jarboe, has requested the report and is told one does not exist. My second attorney, Robert Stearns, has also requested a copy of the report. He has not received one. If no report exist, then why are my children not with me? It is my understanding, from reading the CPS manual, that if a report is not filed within thirty days or is not founded then the children are to be returned to the parent(s). Thirty days is long past.
Not only has Allie Menzel failed to follow the procedure of producing a report stating whether or not my case is founded, she has not offered me a plan of reunification. Instead, she has taken the liberty to placed my children with my ex-husband in Colorado. This was done nearly a month after they were taken from me. When I asked why, she informed me that CPS was reuniting the children with the family, their father. It is my understanding that this is not proper procedure. If I read the CPS manual correctly, the reunification is supposed to be with the custodial parent, the one whom the court gave custody toome. I understand that reunification depends on the severity of the case as determined by the report and the court, observations of how the children act towards the parent, and how the parent and children progress as they follow the reunification plan and the services and assistance offered. In my case there is no report, nor were any services offered, and no reunification plan exists.
Instead, it has been offered to me, via my first lawyer, that if I do a change of custody to my ex-husband the prosecuting attorney, Amanda Steele, will close the case. I was told that if I failed to do this my parental rights would most likely will be terminated. So, fearing I would never see my children again, I grievously gave in. Since that day, I've hire more lawyers. I've moved from Michigan to Iowa and have discovered that it is not proper for me to be forced to give up my children to my ex-husband without a report, that reunification means reuniting with me, that my rights may have been violated, and that Allie Menzel has no regard for the procedures in the Michigan CPD manual, which can be found at www.mfia.state.mi.us/olmweb/ex/cfp/cfp.pdf
PSI have recently discovered that my case is unfounded. My children have not been returned to me.

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, July 22, 2009POSTED: Wednesday, July 22, 2009
if you did, that complicates everything. Even if they get you your report, you still terminated your rights to the children by making your ex-husband the custodial parent. That's going to make anything you do very hard.
Why did they take the children in the first place? Surely you have some idea.
Did you sign over your rights to your ex-husband before or after they were placed with him?
There's a lot missing from this story.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Julie Rousseau begins her first season as an assistant coach with the Wolf Pack in 2014-15.
"I am ecstatic to have Julie join our Wolf Pack family!" Albright said. "She has a plethora of championship experiences in this great game and will add tremendously to what we are doing as a staff. Her connections in California will be critical to enhance our recruiting and her strategic mind for the game is outstanding. Above all, she is a quality person and we are blessed to bring her to Reno. I am sure Julie will prove to be a great addition to our program, university and community."
Rousseau spent the past year as a color analyst for the Pac-12 Network, broadcasting several games for the network.
Prior to her broadcasting experience, Rousseau served as the head women's basketball coach at Pepperdine University for nine seasons. During her tenure, she led the Waves to three postseason appearances and a West Coast Conference championship in 2006, leading to an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament. Her 2009-10 squad won 20 games and made the first of two straight appearances in the WNIT that year. Three of Rousseau's recruiting classes at Pepperdine received a top-50 ranking by HoopGurlz Recruiting.
Before beginning her stint at Pepperdine, Rousseau spent four seasons as an assistant coach at Stanford University. She had a part in coaching the Cardinal to four Pac-10 conference championships and four NCAA Tournament appearances, reaching the Elite Eight in 2004. She received special assignments for recruiting elite student-athletes, such as current WNBA professionals Candace Parker and Candice Wiggins and also coached three-time All-American Nicole Powell.
Outside the realm of collegiate athletics, in the summer of 2009 Rousseau assisted current Arizona State head coach Charli Turner-Thorne and USA Basketball to gold at the World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia. Additionally, she spent two seasons with the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks organization in the late 90's as an assistant coach for one year and head coach the following season.
Rousseau got her start in coaching at Washington Preparatory High School in Los Angeles, Calif. She served as the boys freshman/sophomore head coach and the girls varsity assistant coach for two years before becoming the head coach of the girls varsity squad for five seasons. She led the program to postseason appearances in all five seasons and won the Los Angeles City Championship in 1996.
Rousseau is a 1991 graduate of California State University, Los Angeles, receiving a bachelor's degree in education. She earned her master's degree in psychology from Pepperdine in June of 2012.

Aliases for HNRNPC Gene

Previous HGNC Symbols for HNRNPC Gene
Previous GeneCards Identifiers for HNRNPC Gene
Summaries for HNRNPC Gene
This gene belongs to the subfamily of ubiquitously expressed heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs). The hnRNPs are RNA binding proteins and they complex with heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). These proteins are associated with pre-mRNAs in the nucleus and appear to influence pre-mRNA processing and other aspects of mRNA metabolism and transport. While all of the hnRNPs are present in the nucleus, some seem to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The hnRNP proteins have distinct nucleic acid binding properties. The protein encoded by this gene can act as a tetramer and is involved in the assembly of 40S hnRNP particles. Multiple transcript variants encoding at least two different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
GeneCards Summary for HNRNPC Gene
HNRNPC (Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein C (C1/C2)) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with HNRNPC include mixed connective tissue disease and systemic lupus erythematosus. Among its related pathways are Gene Expression and Complement and coagulation cascades. GO annotations related to this gene include nucleic acid binding and identical protein binding. An important paralog of this gene is HNRNPCL3.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for HNRNPC Gene
Binds pre-mRNA and nucleates the assembly of 40S hnRNP particles (PubMed:8264621). Specifically recognizes and binds N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing RNAs, a modification present at internal sites of mRNAs that affects mRNA splicing, processing and stability. M6A alters the local structure in mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) via a mechanism named m(6)A-switch to facilitate binding of HNRNPC, leading to regulation of mRNA splicing (PubMed:25719671). Single HNRNPC tetramers bind 230-240 nucleotides. Trimers of HNRNPC tetramers bind 700 nucleotides. May play a role in the early steps of spliceosome assembly and pre-mRNA splicing. Interacts with poly-U tracts in the 3-UTR or 5-UTR of mRNA and modulates the stability and the level of translation of bound mRNA molecules (PubMed:12509468, PubMed:16010978, PubMed:7567451, PubMed:8264621).

Box Office: 'Monsters University' and 'World War Z' rule the weekend
Pixar's magical run in the month of June continued this weekend as yet another of the Disney division's releases scored big. Almost 12 years after the debut of "Monsters Inc," the prequel "Monsters University" scared up a massive $82 million according to studio estimates. That's the second best Pixar opening ever after "Toy Story 3's" $110.3 million just three years ago. "MU" has a great shot at winning next weekend and has the family market cornered until "Despicable Me 2" arrives on July 3.
Recovering from initial bad buzz in second place was the aforementioned "World War Z." The Marc Forster directed zombie flick grossed an unexpectedly potent $66 million. That makes "WWZ" the biggest opening of star Brad Pitt's career as it easily surpassed the $50 million "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" found in 2005. It's also a solid start for a film that needs to find at least $600 million globally to cover its almost $200 million pricetag.
"Man of Steel" dropped to third with another $41 million and $210 million in just 10 days. That picture's 64% drop from its opening weekend has to make Warner Bros. a tad concerned as "Mos" was expected to fare much better against "MU" and "WWZ."
As the only true comedy in the marketplace, "This Is The End" continued to find laughs in fourth with another $13. million and $57.7 million in its first 12 days. "End," which only cost $32 million, should earn a nice profit for Sony Pictures.
Dropping to fifth was Summit Entertainment's "Now You See Me" with another $7.8 million. The sleeper hit has grossed a magical $94.4 million so far and should cross the $100 million mark in the next week.
Friday's new releases include Roland Emmerich's "White House Down" and the Sandra Bullock/Melissa McCarthy comedy "The Heat."
Weekend actuals are released on Monday.
