When my youngest son was in first grade, he decided to be a magician in the school talent show. I made him a jacket with plenty of hidden pockets but he wanted a magic stick (wand). I don't think he was talking about OxiClean Max Force Gel Stick but it is a magic stick for making stains disappear. Wonder if I could win a talent show using it?
OxiClean Max Force Pre-Treater Gel Stick
The OxiClean Max Force Pre-Treater Gel Stick combines the cleaning properties of OxiClean Max Force and the scrubbing power the soft rubber brush.
The listed ingredients on the package are:
The actual ingredients are available on the Church & Dwight Co. website:
The gel stick can be used directly on any washable fabric stain. The gel is released by pressing down the brush on top of the stain. The brush is then used to work the gel into the stains. This should be done as soon as possible after the stain occurs. Fabrics can be treated up to one week before washing.
It should not be used on silk, wool, leather or any fabric labeled for dry clean only.
OxiClean Max Force contains no chlorine bleach and is safe for any washer and septic tanks. Cost is $3.99 for 6.2 ounces.
The Church & Dwight Story
OxiClean and the Arm & Hammer Laundry Products are an arm of the Church & Dwight Co., Inc. The Arm & Hammer brand was first applied to boxes of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) produced by Dr. Austin Church and John Dwight in 1846. The familiar box of baking soda with the hammer-wielding arm of Vulcan, god of fire, as their logo became a fixture in most homes.
In 1970, the company introduced the first non-phosphate laundry detergent and was the sole corporate sponsor of the first Earth Day celebration. By the 1980s, Arm & Hammer laundry detergent was available in both liquid and powder formulas and in 2012, single use paks. And, in 2006, Church & Dwight acquired Orange Glo International, the parent company of OxiClean, an oxygen based bleach.
In addition to laundry products and baking soda, Church & Dwight manufactures a variety of cleaning, freshening and deodorizing products such as kitty litter, toothpaste, deodorants, carpet deodorizer, household cleaners like Kaboom, Orange Glo and Scrub Free, and personal products like Nair, Trojan condoms and First Response pregnancy tests.
Laundry Guide Recommendation
The OxiClean group of products is one of my favorite tools in removing stains and keeping laundry looking white and bright. The Gel Stick is so simple to use and handy for when stains happen and I don't have time to wash right away.
The gel goes on blue in color so you can see how much is being distributed. The blue colorant does not stain fabrics and washes out. I find it to be especially effective in removing protein stains like blood and grass, ground-in dirt and oily stains. While it works great, it will not remove ink, rust or dried paints.
I keep one in my bathroom to treat clothes before they go in the hamper and one in the laundry room for stains I miss ahead of time. As many of us move to single dose detergent packs (Tide Pods, all mighty paks, Arm & Hammer Toss 'N Done or Arm & Hammer Crystal Burst Paks), this gel stick is the perfect laundry product for treating tough stains.
I highly recommend OxiClean Max Force Gel Stick as a product on your laundry shelf.

Aventura is one of the most successful Latin music acts in the world at the moment. Not "arguably" and not "possibly" — it's simple fact. How else do you categorize a group whose most recent album is the biggest Latin seller of 2009, breaking sales records for most consecutive weeks at number one? That's exactly what double-platinum-selling The Last did. It even made its way from the Latin Billboard charts on over to the Billboard Top 200, where it sat alongside mainstream blockbusters like Lady Gaga's The Fame and the Black Eyed Peas' The E.N.D. And even though the album was released some 26 weeks ago, it's still going strong.
The Last has also spawned four successful singles over the course of the year, "Por un Segundo," which reached number one on Billboard's Top Latin Songs. Then there was "All Up to You," featuring reggaeton powerhouses Wisin y Yandel as well as Akon, and, most recently, "Dile al Amor."
Still not impressed? Well, you could just check out Aventura's current U.S. tour schedule, which kicked off in late November. Thus far, the group has sold out nine major venues, including Chicago's Allstate Arena, Boston's Aganis Arena, L.A.'s Staples Center, and MSG in New York City — twice.
That's not too bad for four kids out of the boogie-down Bronx who decided to play music something like their Dominican parents' bachata. Blending the D.R.'s most traditional genre with urban and cosmopolitan influences, Aventura came up with something new. Their form of bachata still features those distinct high-pitched, syncopated, staccato guitar lines, but they're modernized and made marketable to their peers by the inclusion of R&B and hip-hop influences as well as bilingual lyrics.
That isn't to say that those who'd argue that lead singer Romeo's singing sounds like a cat food commercial don't have a point. But the millions upon millions of fans in the U.S. — never mind across the world — would tend to disagree. And they would probably insult your mother if you said so. Which is why we won't.

RECIPE: How to make best chicken wings
Chicken wings and the Super Bowl. It's a match made in heaven, right?
The tough part is making them absolutely perfect.
Did you know? Americans are estimated to consume over 1.25 billion wings while watching the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos battle for the Super Bowl XLVIII title, according to the National Chicken Council's 2014 report, as ABC News reports (That's a lot of wings!).
As ABC News' Nicole Sawyer reports, the best wings recipe comes from the cookbook of Executive Chef Alex Guarnaschelli.
Chicken Wings with Marmalade
This is the kind of recipe where I have no idea how to gauge the number of servings; in my family, we wouldn't dare think of any fewer than 6 to 8 wings per person. So take into account who the lucky people will be who will share this with you – if you are willing to share, that is. Either way, this method of cooking chicken wings is great for a small batch to enjoy solo or a larger batch for a crowd. People always marvel at the crisp exterior the cornstarch achieves and the texture the wheat germ adds. The marmalade comes from the single memory I have of my maternal grandmother cooking when I was a child. She roasted some chicken thighs and then glazed hem with textured (not smooth) marmalade at the very last minute. Since it happened many years ago, I consider it a significant cooking (and flavor) memory. SERVES 4 to 6
2 quarts frying oil, such as canola
3 pounds chicken wings (12 to 14 full wings or 24 to 20 individual pieces)
½ cup chunky orange marmalade
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Kosher salt (optional)
1 jalapeño chili, thinly sliced into rounds (seeds and all)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon kosher salad
½ teaspoon black pepper
Kosher salt
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F
2. In a large, deep, heavy-bottomed pot (or deep-fryer), heat the 2 quarts frying oil to 360°F. Monitor the temperature of the oil with a thermometer. Place a rack in a baking sheet to drain the chicken pieces as they come out of the oil.
3. Let the chicken wings sit at room temperature while the oil heats. If the wings are straight from the cold fridge, the oil temperature will drop drastically when you fry them, resulting in a less crisp crust.
4. Make the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the marmalade, soy sauce and vinegar. Heat gently to loosen the marmalade and then keep warm on the stove while you fry the chicken wings. Taste and add salt, if needed.
5. Make the flour mixture: In a paper bag (I think the bag gives it extra flavor), combine the flour, cornstarch, wheat germ, salt, and pepper. Shake to blend.
6. Add the chicken pieces to the bag, close it, and shake until each one is fully coated with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour. Put the floured pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet.
7. Fry the chicken: Group your batches of chicken into similar-sized pieces so they are done cooking around the same time. Add a small batch of the wings, say 8 pieces, to the hot oil. Fry until they float to the surface and are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the rack and immediately season the pieces on both sides with salt. Keep an eye on the oil temperature because it will drop with each batch of chicken you fry. Take care the oil is hot enough before adding a new batch of chicken. Put the friend chicken on a baking sheet in the oven while you fry the rest. When all of the chicken pieces are fried, stir the jalapeño slices into the sauce. Use a pastry brush and brush each piece generously all over with the marmalade sauce. Taste for seasoning. Serve immediately.

There's nothing like a road trip. Even a short one. After weighing the different options of flying to Miami and renting a car versus just flying to Key West, we discussed it with a travel agent and did some research and decided to fly to Miami and make the "3 hour" drive to Key West. It's a straight shot down US Highway 1 and you get to hit the all the Florida Keys along the way.
After our liquor store "fiasco" in Miami (see my Journal) we were in a silly mood as it was. A road trip and the excitement of getting to Key West only heightened the experience.
Once you get out of Miami, it's not too long (45 minutes) until you get to the Keys. From there, the road turns into a two lane highway and is marked by mile markers ("MM 101," etc. with MM 1 being in Key West @ the end of US 1). At first, there are trees on either side of the road, and we ran into a bunch of traffic getting on and off the island (remember, it's Sunday afternoon). It took us about 45 minutes, and then the traffic got better. Once you get going, make a stop at a gas station and get a free guidebook with a map, coupons, and a guide to the different islands. Our only real goal was to get to Key West before sunset, so we had about 5 hours to get there. Plenty of time to see some sights.
Key Largo - Coconuts
A guy in Miami had told us that we had to stop at Coconuts in Key Largo and have one of their Pina Coladas. So, that was our first stop. You may see a sign or two on the way (it's in the Marina del Mar Resort), but it's kind of hard to find. To get there, turn off US 1 at MM 100 onto Laguna Avenue by Blockbuster Video. Go down a block and Coconuts is on your left. Once you pull into the gravel parking lot and park, you'll notice that it's a big place. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, and it was pretty empty, but I'm sure it's happening on the weekends. The entire place has wooden decks for floors and it's totally open to the outside pool and overlooks the marina. The restaurant is huge, with a dance floor room attached to it. We sat down at one of the plastic tables and looked over the menu, deciding to have a snack of conch fritters and pina coladas. The Miami guy was right! The pina coladas were Awesome! The shredded coconut on top made the drink. The conch fritters were served with cocktail sauce and were just ok. Nothing special. They seemed to have a wide variety of seafood, entrees, and a long list of specialty drinks for reasonable prices.
Islamorada - Holiday Isle Tiki Bar (not to be confused with any other Tiki Bar)
This place is "world famous" and we had heard rumors of it before we even took our trip. This place is one big party. All the time. We got there about 4 PM on a Sunday, and there were people everywhere. Located just past MM 85, It's like it's own little thatched roof village; the parking lot is surrounded by the many bars and restaurants and two hotels. In the parking lot, there was a herd of Harleys and bikers (popular in the Keys), and people of all ages having a good time. We opted to go to what we came for - the original Tiki Bar. It's in the right corner of the "village." The floor of the bar was covered in sand, with people packed into any table they could find, dressed in bathing suits, shorts, summer clothes. I don't think the doors ever close on this place. Stapled to the ceiling were business cards from all over the world, dollars with messages on them - all declarations of what a good time had been had here. Ten minutes passed before the busy bartender waited on us and there was no time to ask for advice. Being the place where the Rum Runner (frozen rum & juices drink) was created, I had to try one. My friends opted for Key Lime daiquiris. Yes, my Rum Runner was delicious, but those Key Lime daiquiris were the best drink my friends "had ever tasted." I tried it - it was like drinking a creamy popsicle. Yum!
Since there was nowhere to sit, we took our drinks outside, and walked along the pier to the boat docks. Along the pier were souvineer shops and clothing stores. At the end of the dock was an open metal picnic table, so we sat there and watched the water and the people on their boats. It was a gorgeous view and none of us wanted to leave. Well, we hadn't realized how late it was, but we had to be on our way - the sun was beginning to set! So, we left Tiki Bar, taking a few pictures on the way out.
"Dammit Grassy Key!"
Just outside of Fiesta Key, we got stuck behind a tractor-trailer going 55 MPH (and tons of traffic going the other way). With the sun setting soon, we decided that we would find a place on the side of the road to stop and watch the sunset. Well, the tractor-trailer had a different idea. Stuck between him, and the trees on either side of us, we missed our first sunset in the Keys while driving through Grassy Key (@ 6:30). Oh well.
We made it to our place in Key West just after 8.

The HR office is often the first stop an employee makes before filing a lawsuit alleging supervisor harassment. Whether the claim is about sexual, racial, disability or any other form of harassment, employees can be counted on to bring their concerns to HR—if the company has a well-publicized complaint process.
How you handle the initial complaint can mean the difference between stopping a problem before it gets out of hand and losing a lawsuit.
First, get all the facts. Who said and did what? Was a supervisor involved? Exactly what was said or done? Get it down for the record.
If the alleged harassment seems mild—there were no racial epithets, no outrageous sexual comments—you may have to tell the employee that what he experienced, though unpleasant, wasn't harassment. But don't stop there. You should also tell the perpetrator to stop the behavior even if it isn't technically illegal.
Then follow up with the employee who complained to make sure there is no retaliation.
If you follow these simple steps, chances are a court won't side with the employee, but will view the isolated incident as unfortunate but not pervasive enough to justify a big verdict.
Recent case: Kenneth Wills, who is black, lost his job at the U.S. Postal Service because of alleged poor performance. He sued, claiming racial harassment and told the court that on one day, one of his supervisors was "hostile" to him.
The court said that wasn't enough to make a winning lawsuit, especially since the supposed hostility wasn't tied to his race in any obvious way. (Wills v. Postmaster, No. 08-12234, 11th Cir., 2008)
Final note: This situation could have easily spun out of control. While one comment won't be treated as harassment unless it's outrageous, a series of comments may provide the basis for a lawsuit.

Family owned and maintained, these orchards grow not only the classic varieties like Cortland, Macintosh, and Gala but also lesser known, equally flavorful "heirloom" apples. I asked Louisa Spencer, wife of owner Steve Wood, what heirloom really means when it comes to fruit.

| Quote #4
Shylock's offer seems too generous not to come with a catch. Still, perhaps he's trying to be the bigger man of the two. He might be offering up his friendship, and seeking Antonio's, because he sees these unusual circumstances as a chance for the two to break their cultural isolation from each other.
| Quote #5
Jessica is isolated. She neither fits in with her father (and implicitly her Jewish background) nor is she a Christian. This tension causes her distress. She's willing to abandon her father and her religion to resolve it and join a community she can relate with more.
| Quote #6
Rather than look on Shylock with pity, the boys of the town make a mockery of him. This will likely make him even more enraged. Shylock was isolated before, but now that he's lost Jessica, he needs mercy more than ever. Not getting it, he'll turn his wrath against the people who have mocked him and his religion.

Remember Me
The train was hailed as the speediest means of transportation available in the 1880's. The slowest was an oxcart. But that wasn't always so. The coming of the railroad was considered one of the greatest things to happen in the Old West. It made possible the transportation of goods and people from the industrialized east to the frontier west. The train also was able to cut that travel time down considerably.
But, there was one occasion on December 2, 1880 that a lowly oxcart beat a train in a race that quite possible only the oxcart occupants were aware. Just as the eastbound fast mail train was steaming out of town a hack containing three gentlemen drove up to the depot, only to be told the train they wanted had just rounded the bend. The hack they had rented had left the station, and the only transportation was a wagon and four-ox team. The men walked up to the owner of the rig. "Five dollars if you take us up the rail thirty miles," said one man. "Another five if you get us there before 8 o'clock," said the second. "Five dollars more if you get us there ahead of the train," said the third. The driver looked at the team, thought about the fifteen dollars to be made in two and a half hours, and said "I'm your man." The wagon road lay alongside the tracks. The first mile was slow, but soon the oxen warmed up. In an hour they had caught up with the train. In the darkness of the evening they could see the trains red light and fire from the smoke stack in the distance behind them. The men arrived at their destination safely. After they had domiciled at the hotel, one of the men said, "Boys, we have beaten the train by twenty minutes; let us go to the depot and see it creep in."

AC Milan captain Riccardo Montolivo has hailed the recent form of Kaka.
The Brazilian is beginning to return to his best after his summer arrival from Real Madrid.
"Kaka arrived and then immediately had an injury," said Montolivo, who like Kaka scored in the 3-1 win at Catania on Sunday.
"But he's a great champion and he makes the difference in every match. He brings with him lots of experience.
"Let's hope he keeps it up and he's got great charisma."

Read an Excerpt
The United States is the most consumer-oriented society in the world. People work longer hours than in any other industrialized country. Savings rates are lower. Consumer credit has exploded, and roughly a million and a half households declare bankruptcy every year. There are more than 46,000 shopping centers in the country, a nearly two-thirds increase since 1986. Despite fewer people per household, the size of houses continues to expand rapidly, with new construction featuring walk-in closets and three- and four-car garages to store record quantities of stuff. According to my estimates, the average adult... see more

Discussion Points
1. Schor describes a marketing juggernaut of unprecedented size, scope, and sophistication. Why has marketing to children become so much more pervasive and extensive than in the past? What are the major strategies marketers are using in their communications with children?
2. How do you think children are affected by "tweening" (p. 56)? Do you think that children today are maturing at an earlier age? If so, why do you think that is?
3. Schor points out that advertisers have incredible influence over children's views. They are able to promote ideas, like "antiadultism," and manipulate points of view, such as what kids consider "cool." How did forces outside the family become so influential? How can parents regain their central role in educating and advising their children?
4. What do you think about the use of children in developing and marketing potential products? The author discusses some of the unaddressed ethical aspects of using children in this way, but marketers defend their actions, saying they are just trying to make products that kids will like. What about schools' participating in marketing plans? Do you think schools should be marketing-free zones?
5. On page 21, the author describes one marketing company's pitch in which children were represented as wild animals and the advertising companies as the British colonial hunter. Discuss this analogy.

ON DECK – March 2014
A charge bought against the Master of the SANTA REGINA of endangering passengers and crew during a return trip to Picton was dropped by the judge in the Wellington Court this afternoon and the jury dismissed.
After listening to this trial drag out during the past six days I am wondering if there is a vendetta by Maritime New Zealand against our profession. It is well known that they do not like the term Captain and prohibit any employee who may have the experience and qualifications to call himself Captain to prefix his name with the title.
Some of the hearing concerned what happened before the minor berthing collision. We had to watch a real time video taken from the AIS of the berthing manoeuvre. Surely this had nothing to do with the charge and this type of forum is not the ideal place to discuss such technical matters. Doctors who make a mistake with an operation are usually judged by their peers as happens with many other professions.
The original charge included not reporting the accident as soon as practical but this was dropped before the trial began.
These minor collisions (allusions) are a frequent occurrences at ports throughout the world. They are similar to a hard landing by a jet. How hard does it have to be before it is reported? A cabin attendant sitting next to me during a hard landing replied when I commented about one "He always does it like that".
Until about 10 years ago this type of accident would be reported to and handled by the Harbourmaster who was in all ports the senior pilot who had spent many years berthing and un-berthing ships. Sadly this is now not the case.
The crown likened it to the RENA grounding by stating that big things start from small things. They were reminded by the defence that a 1.85 metre gash 50 mm wide was not quite the same as running a container ship onto a reef at 18 knots.
That the Master had not seen the small tear in the shell plating when he and the chief engineer inspected the area after berthing involved a number of witnesses. A badly made video showing how different brands of torches and car head lights could light up the ships side was shown to the jury in a one hour show made by a road crash and fire investigator. I thought he was a torch salesman.
A weather forecaster even offered opinion on how ferries entered Marlborough Sounds in stormy conditions although on the day in question the highest recorded wind speed was only 42 knots.
It disturbs me that our profession is administered in New Zealand by such an inept Government Department and whose treatment of a senior officer will not win them any friends. It is little wonder that many fine New Zealand seafarers are now working overseas.
The cost of this investigation and subsequent trial must run into many thousands of dollars which will be borne by the taxpayer.
Captain Henderson had to wait nearly three years to have his day in court which is unacceptable.
Recent Departures
Members who recently crossed the bar:
Captain Christopher S. Morris – Tauranga Branch on 21st September 2013;
Captain Ronald A. Colebrook – Wellington Branch on 22nd September 2013;
Captain Robert Wyld – Tauranga Branch on 30th January 2014
Captain Hugh Coates – Christchurch Branch on 26th February 2014
Captain William A. Siddal – Christchurch Branch on 27th March 2014
The trial started today of the captain of a Cook Strait ferry which carried passengers to Picton and back to Wellington with a 3.5 metre gash in the side after a collision with another ship during a stormy berthing.
John Henderson, 67, a master of ship who lives in Invercargill, has pleaded not guilty to being the holder of a maritime document, a certificate of competency, and, being in charge of the Santa Regina, doing an act that caused unnecessary danger to the crew or passengers between April 26 and April 27, 2011.
Crown prosecutor Ian Murray told a Wellington District Court jury the Santa Regina was sailed from Picton to Wellington on April 26, 2011 in high winds and rain.
Henderson was the master of the ship, employed by Strait Shipping.
During an attempt to berth at Glasgow wharf the Santa Regina was blown sideways and collided with another ship, the Southern Prospector, and the wharf.
Mr Murray said two holes were torn in the hull, a minor one of about 12cm which was repaired and a 3.5m gash which breached the hull and was not noticed during a torchlight inspection.
The Santa Regina was then sailed back to Picton and returned to Wellington with the gash in place which was not seen until a member of the Wellington Harbourmasters team spotted it.
Mr Murray said during the sailings there was storm warning in place for Cook Strait.
He told the jury the problem was the inadequate inspection of the ship after the collision which led to two more sailings putting the crew and passengers at unnecessary risk.
Henderson's lawyer Michael Reed, QC, told the jury the size of the gash was disputed and the defence said it was 1.85m and was cosmetic rather than structural.
He said no water entered the hole during either crossing and at no time was there any risk of the ship sinking or risk to the passengers or crew.
Mr Reed said Henderson was a very experienced captain who would never have sailed if he thought there had been any risk.
The trial is expected to take the rest of the week.© Fairfax NZ News
Ferry captain denies risky sailing
Lloyds List Monday 17 February 2014 by Janet Porter
AT least 200 to 300 containers were lost from the 7,200 teu Svendborg Maersk late last week when the ship was caught up in atrocious weather conditions as it crossed the Bay of Biscay.
The full tally could be higher, with the exact number of boxes swept overboard not yet known. The ship arrived in Malaga on Monday evening where officials from Maersk Line and the P&I club, plus stowage and lashing experts, are waiting to assess the losses and investigate exactly what happened.
Many more containers are damaged after the stacks in at least six bays tilted over during the hurricane force winds that lashed much of Europe on Friday. Svendborg Maersk was reported to have been rolling at up to 40 degrees.
The 1998-built ship was heading from Rotterdam to Sri Lanka at the time of the accident, and some of the lost containers were probably empty on the backhaul leg.
None of the crew was injured but will be given counselling.
This is thought to be the biggest loss of containers in a single incident that Maersk Line has ever suffered.
The Wellington Branch hold monthly meetings at Bay Plaza Hotel, Oriental Parade, 1200 for 1230 on the following WEDNESDAYS during 2014.

As part of a plan to raise the membership of the Company, which has been on a slow decline, it was agreed by the Executive Council to have a promotional brochure printed, distributed to branches and on to individual members. As shown below is a copy of this flyer which is seen to be an aid in encouraging the recruitment of new members. Exactly how the best benefit is to be gained by the circulation of these leaflets remains with the Branch Committees but it is hoped that, where relevant, they do assist members in stimulating suitable entrants to apply for membership. A reserve of these handouts are held by Branch Secretaries, please make good use of them.
From Lloyds List Friday 10 January 2014 by Michael Grey
"The Board was also at pains to ensure that a constant supply of good officers would be available to sail the new ships."
The object, said the chairman in his report, "was to get good steady lads, who will work their way up in our service and become in time efficient officers and commanders of our ships".
Each ship would carry between three and five apprentices under indenture to the company and just four years after the company had commissioned its first vessel, 45 apprentices had been appointed, while "there were many applications on our books".
THIS was in the annual report of the New Zealand Shipping Company in 1878, details of which are to be found in Alan Bott's fine book about the sailing fleet of NZS, which served on the world's longest trade route between 1873 and 1900, when the company went over to steam.
I had been thinking about the industry's attitude to its trainees when doing some research for Lloyd's List's digital commemoration, and it is clear that this company had some really quite advanced ideas about its responsibility for growing its own talent.
There was no whingeing to the government for grants to train, and indeed the NZS even commissioned its own hostel for apprentices in the East India Dock Road, with its matron and housekeeper to keep the lads standing by ships in line. The company, without doubt, knew where its responsibilities lay.
But for hundreds of years before this, virtually every merchant ship would routinely carry apprentices, learning their trade "on the job", often for as long as seven hard years.
They would often be indentured to the master of the ship, sometimes to the owner. It would be no exaggeration to suggest that they were cheap labour, with their lodgings and victuals their only recompense.
Their welfare was very much at the mercy of the master, who if he was far sighted and decent, would ensure they were properly taught and learned the principles of navigation alongside the seamanship they practised daily.
As I write this I have my own indentures, dated 1956, on my desk, its archaic language barely altered from that of those signed a century or more earlier.
The only concession to modernity was that "the master hereby covenants with the said apprentice that during the said term he will and shall use all proper means to teach the said apprentice or cause him to be taught the business of a seaman and of a ship's officer as practised in vessels other than sailing ships".
I did get paid a small amount every month, although my father had to pay a £35 ($57) "surety" to ensure I didn't jump ship, on which case it would be forfeit.
We were cheap labour, too, although it was a very notable fact that the Port Line rarely seemed to "import" officers, with almost all having started in the same fashion.
One generation trained the next, in a continuum that had worked further back than anyone could remember.
Twenty years on and the industry carried on training in this way.
A couple of months ago, I read Under a Yellow Sky* by Simon Hall, now chief executive of a financial group but who has just written an account of his cadetship in Shell Tankers, although he diplomatically abstains from mentioning its name in this entertaining book.
He went away in the early 1970s, although by then, sea time was interspersed with periods of shore-side study.
It is clear that he and his fellow cadets worked like slaves on board these ships, the junior cadets at the bottom of the food chain and mightily oppressed by their seniors.
Nevertheless, there seems to have been time to go ashore occasionally and desperate quantities of drink taken, which seems to have dulled the pain.
The point I am painfully making towards is the fact that down through the ages, shipping companies have regarded it as important to train their own officers, like the Creator himself producing man "in his own image".
These were people who would be brought up in the company way of doing things, sometimes badly taught by officers who did not care or were too busy, but more often in the hands of officers who undertook these responsibilities seriously.
"You'll make a good third mate: I'll be happy to sail with you any time," said Simon Hall's final chief officer, as he completed his cadetship.
It was clearly an important and worthwhile accolade.
But somewhere between then and now, training has been moved decisively from the category of "investment" to that of "costs" in the minds of the bean counters.
The responsibility for training the next generation has been largely sloughed off to colleges, to governments or to anyone who might pick up some of the bill.
Now we have cadets tolerated as a sort of codicil to the tonnage tax regime, treated all too often as passengers, on board ships where not a soul speaks their language, in a company where they have no prospect of future employment as an officer.
Does anyone in the industry regard this as progress?
There are a few companies that take their training responsibilities seriously, but they will tend to be the major shipmanagers, whose personnel folk tear their hair out looking for berths on board their clients' ships, where sea time can be earned.
It's a very long way from the positive action reported to the board of NZS, with their enthusiastic endorsement of their scheme for apprentice training, nearly 140 years ago.

moreThe book presents an extensive introduction to LOTOS highlighting how the approach differs from competitor techniques such as CCS and CSP. The notation is illustrated by a number of running examples and by using the LOTOS process calculus a spectrum of semantic models for concurrent systems are reviewed. Specifically, linear-time semantics; based on traces; branching-time semantics; using both labelled transition systems and refusals, are used to highlight true concurrency semantics using event structures. In addition to this a simple timed extension to LOTOS is introduced using running examples, allowing consideration of how the untimed semantic models traces, labelled transition systems, refusals and event structures can be generalised to the timed setting. The authors also generalise the simple communicating automata notation to yield timed automata with multi-way synchronisation using model-checking verification methods and new techniques to prevent time-locks from arising. less

Dover AMP
Ok, so I broke down and went to the one by the Advanced Auto Parts in Dover. Girl said she would be about 20 minutes and I almost left. She asked me if I wanted a girl or a guy of course girl. She said some dude will come in and start the massage but a girl will be in. Ok, WTF, almost left again, but decided to wait just to see what was up. Some dude came in (not kidding) and started to massage me. NO funny games or anything, he was just doing it so I wouldn't be sitting there. After what seemed to be two hours, the woman finally came in, a little older but nice body. She started the massage, I got to say that the dude did a better job but that was not what I was there for anyway, she started to place her crotch on my hand to see what I would do and of course I started to rub her pussy. After about ten minutes or so, she flipped me and told me the prices, 100 for lay, 80 BJ and 40 HJ. I only had 40 on me so I got the HJ. It was 60 upfront. So I went away -100 from everything. She had a nice body, a little older but the body compensates for me. I am still looking for these girls in the pictures. If you need anymore details I'm me.

Top quality rehoboth
Someone pointed me in the direction of Top Quality in Rehoboth. Nice clean place. Younger lady, probably mid 30's welcomed and accepted the .60 for the hour. Opted for the table shower which was enjoyable, even though she seemed to be in a rush. Led back to the room for a very nice thorough massage leading to the flip. Again, no soft touch. Bartered for a CBJ for .80 and then spent the rest of my hour receiving a nice rub down. Nice place with a nice attitude and received the full hour. I'm sure I will be back.

Red Rose Seaford
After striking out in Milford I decided to give Seaford a shot. Showed up while construction was going for the interior of the building. Paid for the 1/2 hour but cannot remember how much. Asian lady in her early 40's takes me to the table shower. Normally I love the table shower but it was really cold in the building, so cold my teeth were chattering. After seeing my state of discomfort she put a space heater in the massage room and that improved my comfort. Decent massage, nothing to write home about. It seems that I am having difficulty finding a place in Delaware that really knows how to use the soft touch prior to the flip properly. .40 for a standard finish and on my way. I may return, but will wait for warmer weather.

Milford AMP
Stopped into the Milford location a few months ago. Opted for 1/2 hour for .5. Only one attendant that I could see. After paying door fee the door bell rings and another monger enters. Given that there were two of us and only one girl my time was only 20 minutes for an ok rubdown with a fair amount of haggling at the end. Left relieved yet somewhat disappointed at the cost for services rendered and shorted time. Total damage 1.3. Won't be back.

Best Asian: and. DuPont Hwy
I decided to try out this AMP tonight, and I was very pleased with the service and massage. I was met at the door, I'd guess around 31-38 years old, very friendly. I opted for the half hour with the table shower. She had no qualms with washing the groin area, which has proven to show great promise for the flip. The massage was very good, 8/10 on the scale. On the flip, she asked if I would like for her to take care of me, and of course I said yes. She was slightly rough, but was amendable to corrections.
40 for the half hour, 40 in tip.
Sorry for the choppy report, I'm exhausted.

I had the pleasure to meet a young lady tonight, unfortunately, I didn't catch her name. I'd say she was around 26 to 29, very friendly and polite. I opted for an hour massage, and on a scale of 1 to 10, the massage was around a 7.5/10. The hour cost $60.
I have more information for the more senior members, as per request. I am planning on making this trip again, I had a wonderful time, and I would like to recommend it to anyone who's interested.

Wilmington AMPs
Hey guys, long time no post.
I'm looking at heading up to Wilmington to check out what they have up there, and I've seen a few promising ads on backpage, but I was hoping to hear from a fellow monger and get your input on where I should go. There's one in Claymont, Philadelphia Pike, that has been calling to me. I hope to hear some good news!

Seven-year ditch
Lavin believes his coaching days are nearly over at UCLAPosted: Wednesday March 05, 2003 6:05 PM

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Regrets? Steve Lavin has a couple, but he isn't the bitter, angry person you'd expect as he winds down what he believes are his final days as UCLA coach.
Lavin was an unproven assistant who got college basketball's glamour job seven years ago when Jim Harrick was fired. Lavin is probably headed for the same fate after the Bruins conclude their first losing season in 55 years.
The 38-year-old coach sounds ready to accept what appears to be inevitable.
"I've been very fortunate and grateful for an incredible run," he said. "It's been kind of a magic ride."
Except for this season, which marked the end of two storied streaks -- the school's NCAA-record 54 consecutive winning seasons, dating back to John Wooden's first season in 1948-49, and its 14 straight seasons with 20 or more victories.
The Bruins (7-18) conclude the regular season at Pauley Pavilion with games Thursday against Washington State (7-18) and Saturday against Washington (9-16). Both teams are 0-6 at Pauley during Lavin's head coaching career.
UCLA is tied with Washington for eighth in the Pac-10 at 4-12. The Bruins must beat the Huskies to clinch a berth in the conference tournament, which takes the top eight teams, or their season is over.
And that would clear the way for first-year athletic director Dan Guerrero to fire Lavin, something he said he wouldn't do during the season. Guerrero, who dismissed football coach Bob Toledo in December after seven seasons, has said he will evaluate Lavin at the end of the season.
"For these final games, final days, you're obviously focused on your seniors finishing out on a positive note," Lavin said. "For me, it's a situation where the 12 years, and I mention 12 years to give perspective -- it's just been a long, long time. I've been very fortunate and grateful for an incredible run."
He admitted two regrets: not winning a national title (he was Harrick's top assistant when the Bruins did so in 1995) and not having a better finish for seniors Jason Kapono and Ray Young.
"My heart goes out to those two," he said.
The Bruins have staggered through a nine-game losing streak, the longest since losing 13 straight in 1938-39, a 10-game conference losing skid, and eight straight losses at Pauley -- the most ever in a season.
Before sinking to the current lows, Lavin led the Bruins to the final 16 of the NCAA tournament in five of his first six seasons, a feat matched only by Duke's Mike Krzyzewski. He has a 142-77 career record.
Even then, his job security was constantly in question, the pressure to win was always there.
"We hate to see Lav go, but those possibilities are in the air," said sophomore Cedric Bozeman, who won't play again this season while awaiting shoulder surgery.
Although one losing season in seven years isn't enough to oust coaches at most schools, it might be at UCLA, where the administration, alumni and fans expect to win or strongly contend for a national championship every year.
That's been the burden for the six coaches who followed Wooden. The first four after him resigned and the next two were fired.
Until now, the Bruins hadn't had a losing season since 1947-48, when they were 12-13 in coach Wilbur Johns' final year. Wooden took over the following season and went on to coach UCLA to 10 NCAA championships in 12 years before retiring in 1975.
"You realize you're not being treated any different than any other coach who followed John Wooden," Lavin said. "Why would my situation be any different than the previous six coaches or the next six coaches? I understand that."
Lavin has made it clear he won't fight for his job, which likely delights his detractors who've booed him at home games and worn T-shirts with the slogans "Lose Lavin" and "Fire Lavin Immediately."
"People think I'm an optimist. Actually, I think I'm pretty much a realist," he said. "If you get the results, then you continue to coach. If you don't get the results then someone else gets a crack at it."
He's even suggested some possible successors: Pat Douglass of UC Irvine, Mark Few of Gonzaga, Ben Howland of Pittsburgh, Bob Williams of UC Santa Barbara and Roy Williams of Kansas.
Lavin already has his future in mind. He says he wants to coach next season if the job is right. If not, he'd consider a broadcasting career.
Fans around the Pac-10 have always been hard on Lavin, but this season they've cheered him at road games, posed for pictures, presented a farewell card. An Oregon State trainer gave him a $200 bottle of wine, and Lavin drank a glass the other night.
He didn't say whether he toasted his soon-to-be past or the future.
