We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and that it is God's revelation to man. It is inspired by the Holy Spirit and is our final authority on all matters.
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and His sinless life. His powerful ministry is a revelation of the will of God for us. We believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. His blood is God's number one priority, it cleanses us from all sin.
We believe in the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are three individual Persons but one in purpose, mission and power, in Unity, neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the substance is all one, the glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal.
We believe that on the day of Pentecost the church was established to push back the forces of hell on the earth. God has given us authority over all the power of evil. When we pray in line with God's Word we are victorious. The church has been called to love each other, to reach the lost and impact our society by being the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
We believe in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. We believe in baptism in the spirit and that the gifts of the Spirit are for us today.
We believe in the rapture of the church before the total judgement of God is poured out on all who will not believe in Jesus Christ.
We believe in the final judgement for all who did not recieve God's gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. God will cast all unbelievers into eternal hell with the devil and his angels.
We believe in the coming of the New Jerusalem, when God will live with us on earth forever and ever. We will serve Him and reign with Him for eternity.


I've been thinking about this lately, and I thought I'd share it with you all.
What I have decided is this: We write novels so that we can read the book we've been wanting to read. We write songs so we can listen to the songs that we haven't been able to find. We write poetry so we can... well, poetry is complicated. Forget poetry. It's too complex. xD.
I say we, but maybe I mean 'I'. There are probably plenty of people who write to make money. -_-. There are probably people out there who actually write just to tell a story (I can tell, because I fall asleep halfway through chapter 1).
I can't seem to find a decent book to read. Everything on the shelves is lacking that certain quality which I inhale like air, and about as quickly too. Nobody is writing novels that speak to me. So what do I do? Yeah, I could complain. I am complaining. But other than that? I can't find the book I'm looking for, so I write the book I'm looking for. Maybe the book you can't seem to find hasn't been written yet. Maybe you have to write it. Do you get what I'm saying here?
I decided to put this on quibblo after I walked my dog and was singing randomly made-up lyrics (and ignoring people who stared... xD). I knew what kind of music I wanted to listen to. I got home, opened itunes, and it wasn't there. I sighed, and thought maybe I should write the songs I'm looking for. I decided not to listen to any music after all, or I'd forget all the random stuff I was singing on the dog walk.
...So that's (at least a part of) why people write, or why I write. Do you agree? Disagree? Why do you write? Comments, people!
btw, I like your tags.
OMG DRUNKEN BANANA MY FAVOURITE DANCE!
Lol in case you were wondering that means that I agree with you and that I love someone finally managed to put it to words.
cool idea :) I mostly write poems, but I write stories a lot and I've written a few songs.

Q: Open all files in a folder using notepad++ I have to make a minor change in all the html files of my site. The files are stored in structure which is as below,
/Site
--2012
  --Jan
    --File1.html
    --File2.html
    --File3.html
    --File3.html
  --Feb
    --File1.html
    --File2.html

And so on..
There are files from 2006 stored in a similar fashion. Opening each of them manually is time consuming as there are hundreds of files.
Is there a easier way to do this using notepad++?

A: This is the easiest solution I found:

*

*Have a Notepad++ program shortcut file on your Desktop.

*Drag the folder from File Explorer to the Notepad++ shortcut.

Remark: just Drap and Drop a folder into Notepad++ program in the latest version (as of 6.9.1) will trigger "Open folder as workspace" instead of opening all files.

A: While you might want to open all files as a workspace I did actually want to open every single file. Drag and dropping a folder resulted in that folder being set as the current workspace folder. To instead open those files I did need to check the Tools > Preferences > Default Directory > Open all files of folder instead of launching Folder as Workspace on folder dropping

A: You can just simply drag the folder containing your site files into notepad++. It opens all files(I assume it just opens txt,html, and other compatible files) including ones in sub directories.
Alternatively, if you want to do them one month at a time you could do File>Open and then shift+click from the top to the bottom to select as many files as you want.
Or just use a better text editor like sublime text where you can just open entire folders

A: Click on View -> Project Panel 1
Only if there's nothing in the panel click on Workspace -> New Workspace
Otherwise click on Workspace -> Add New Project
Click on Project Name and click on Edit -> Add Files from directory.
Works with Notepad++ ver. 6.7.4

A: Drag and Drop your folder into Notepad ++ and it will open each files recursively.

A: at the menu bar select: view-> folder as workplace. and then you can search the folder you want

A: go to properties of soft. right click on shortcut or icon, then change mod to run this soft like if useing windows 8 or 10 set comtapility mode on windows 7 and it will opens all files, in folders u dragged

A: If you only need to replace text, you can also use the Find In Files tab.

*

*Open the interface using CTRL+H,

*Select the Find in Files tab,

*Enter the find and replace phrases,

*Add a filter to select only those files you need: File*.html could work in your case,

*Select the top most directory that contains the files you want to replace text in,

*Make sure you select the option: In all sub-folders,

*Double check or use Find All to check the search results,

*Hit Replace in Files.

A: To open complete project folders & files you have to follow few steps:
Open Notepad++ then
step 1: go to view and find project panel. In that choose project panel 1.
step 2: Now left side you can see "Workspacename" and right side "new 1" text.
step 3: Now you have to go to File -> Open Folder as Workspace and choose the project location and press "Select Folder".
step 4: now complete project will be shown in workspace (left side).

Let there be light – conservatories, orangeries and garden rooms are sympathetic and practical ways to add extra space to a house, says Amelia Thorpe.
As we emerge from the dark days of winter, it's time to start thinking about light – and how to make the most of it. The Victorians, ever the progressives, developed conservatories to hot-house their exotic plants and, over the years, we have interpreted their love of glass structures to create rooms that do more than allow plants to flourish.
Conservatory design has undergone, if not exactly a revolution, certainly a substantial change. Although conservatories of the 1980s became en vogue as bolt-ons to the rear or side of the house and for use as a sun room on warmer days, today, they've become fully integrated parts of our homes – spaces that often flow directly from our kitchens or sitting rooms as invitingly light-filled extensions.
Driven by the need to overcome the 'too cold in winter, too hot in summer' complaint, conservatories can now have dramatically improved thermal ratings and better design, so that they can be enjoyed year-round.
Choice is the by-word. Developments in high-performance glazing, coupled with advances in manufacturing large sheets of glass, allow designers to create conservatories, orangeries, garden rooms and seemingly frameless 'glass box' structures in a host of styles to suit the architecture of your house and your individual taste, from classic Victorian and Edwardian-inspired options to ultra-contemporary models.
Although the names are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between a conservatory, which is largely made of glass, including the roof, and an orangery, which has more brickwork and is a flat-roofed extension with large windows and roof light. A garden room has a solid roof and walls with generous windows.
A fully glazed structure will, of course, give the greatest sense of light and space, but some prefer a room with a smaller area of roof glazing or a solid, insulated roof and glazed sides. The choice is down to individual taste, although orangeries and garden rooms have become increasingly popular because they can make for a more versatile and thermally efficient room.
Other practical considerations include whether the room will be overlooked and the direction it's oriented in – a north-facing conservatory will receive less direct sunlight than a south-facing one, for example.
Conservatories can be made in a variety of materials, primarily timber and aluminium. There has also been a revival of interest in oak-framed structures, which can combine the rustic beauty of traditionally jointed and pegged timber frames with large areas of glass.
And what do they share? In the past, it might have been a single set of French doors, but now it can be several sets or increasingly large sliding and folding doors, which offer a sense of uninterrupted flow between interior and exterior. Throw open the doors in summer and, suddenly, you have a sense of space, as well as masses of natural light.
Simon Jenkins lauds our most romantic and architecturally significant railway stations, some of the unsung triumphs of British conservation.
Adding extensions is a popular choice for those who need more space but don't want to sell their house.

Zaheer Khan is an Indian fast bowler with all the traits that made the Pakistani fast bowlers a phenomenon. He swings the new ball and reverses the old, he does well on flat subcontinent pitches and relishes the helpful ones away, and he controls all three balls well - SG, Duke and Kookaburra. He might not quite have the skills of Wasim Akram, who he has often been compared to, but mentally Zaheer has become as good as Akram. He knows how to get wickets, he has an intuitive sense of when to go for the kill, and once a batsman has shown him the slightest hint of a weakness, Zaheer preys on it ruthlessly. Unlike the Pakistan fast bowlers of the 2000s, though, he stays away from controversy and is pretty low-key off the field.
Zaheer's career can be easily divided into three distinct sections, neatly segregated by injuries. He was all promise ever since he bowled Steve Waugh with a full delivery in the Champions Trophy in 2000. A mysterious injury in Australia in 2003-04 - hamstring at first and later discovered to be a nerve twitch - then tortured him for the best part of the next two years. Every comeback ended in a frustrating setback through a new injury.
In 2006, though, Zaheer, now with a shorter run up, a fitter body and a meaner mind, dazzled England with 78 wickets for Worcestershire, where team-mates started calling him 'Zippy Zakky'. He was the perfect foil for Sreesanth in South Africa, and he then regained his status as leader of the pack with a match-winning display at Trent Bridge, as India won only their fifth Test on English soil. The new, lethal Zaheer was not only the leader of the Indian attack, he was one of the best in the world. With his guidance, India claimed the No. 1 ranking in Tests and the World Cup in 2011, which he called "my greatest cricketing moment."
Zaheer was seen as a vital resource ahead of a lengthy Test season comprising a four-Test tour of England and then a four-Test tour of Australia in 2011-12. But a hamstring injury on the very first day led to India losing one of their premier match-winners, and also every one of those matches. It wasn't until Zaheer's return for the Johannesburg Test against South Africa that India could stem their run of Test losses overseas. At 35 years, he still had all the tricks but his pace was down and he looked rather spent even while playing the second of back-to-back Tests in Durban.
There was no doubting how much Zaheer prized Test cricket though. He took a five-for in what became his final Test - the same one in which Brendon McCullum hit a triple ton - and ended his career with 311 Test wickets, second only to Kapil Dev among Indian fast bowlers.
Zaheer continues to do his bit in the IPL though. He was bought by Delhi Daredevils for INR 4 crores in 2015 and he was named their captain in 2016.

Events | LA Premiere Screening: Artur Schnabel. No Place of Exile - A Film by Matthew Mishory
Los Angeles | November 7, 2019 | 7:30 PM – 10:00 PM
Artur Schnabel: No Place of Exile - A Film by Matthew Mishory
We are completely booked up! Admission for the screening will be at a first come, first serve basis. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.
A legend among pianists of the twentieth century, Artur Schnabel (1882–1951) is best known as the first performer to record the complete cycle of Beethoven's piano sonatas. The exiled Austro-German musician and composer was a giant of his time, but today he is nearly forgotten.
No Place of Exile is the cinematic rediscovery of an essential 20th century artist displaced by the catastrophe of the two World Wars and the Holocaust and inspired by the possibilities of modernism.
The film follows pianist and Schnabel devotee Markus Pawlik as he prepares to bring Artur Schnabel's greatest compositions back to Germany in a major commemorative concert at Berlin's Musikfest. Along the way, we visit the places, landscapes, and history that shaped and inspired Schnabel's life and music. Commenting on and performing Schnabel's oeuvre are celebrated actor Udo Samel and musical personalities such as Dietrich Henschel, Igor Levit, Kent Nagano, Leon Fleisher, Jeanne Bamberger, and Walter Arlen.
A Q&A will follow the screening. The evening will open with a performance of Robert Schumann's Phantasie op. 17 (1st mvt.) by Markus Pawlik.

Hospital destroyed in hurricane
On this day in 1919, the Spohn Hospital in Corpus Christi was demolished by a hurricane in which a nun, two patients, and two employees were killed. Spohn Hospital (originally Spohn Sanitarium), the first hospital in Corpus Christi, is a Catholic institution founded in 1905 by Arthur Edward Spohn. When Spohn moved to Corpus Christi in 1895 and noted the lack of medical facilities, he embarked upon a campaign to raise funds for a hospital. Through the efforts of Alice King Kleberg $6,000 was collected from the residents of Corpus Christi for the project. Her husband, Robert J. Kleberg, prepared a drawing of the proposed sanitarium around 1903. The Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, agreed to staff the new facility. After the 1919 hurricane the hospital was temporarily located in a private home. Henrietta C. King gave the land for the new hospital and it was back in operation by 1923.Through the succeeding years, the hospital continued to expand. In 2003, the CHRISTUS Spohn Health System consisted of six hospitals--three in Corpus Christi and one each in Alice, Beeville, and Kingsville--and thirteen clinics.
Mexican-American civil-rights conference meets in Laredo
On this day in 1911, the Congreso Mexicanista, the first statewide Mexican-American civil-rights conference, began meeting in Laredo. The Idar family, who owned and published La Crónica, organized the meeting. The Idars invited the Orden Caballeros de Honor, members of lodges and sociedades mutualistas, all Mexican consuls in the state, Texas-Mexican journalists, and women from the region. Meeting through September 22, the congreso established the Gran Liga Mexicanista de Beneficencia y Protección (Great Mexican League for Benefit and Protection) and the Liga Femenil Mexicanista to promote cultural and moral values among Texas Mexicans, provide protection from abuse by public authorities, and combat segregation of Texas Mexican students. Nicasio Idar was chosen the leader of the Gran Liga, and Jovita Idar, his daughter, was elected president of the Liga Femenil.
Robert Neighbors assassinated at Fort Belknap
On this day in 1859, Robert Simpson Neighbors, Indian agent, was shot and killed by Edward Cornett at Fort Belknap. Neighbors was first appointed as an Indian agent in 1845. As agent for the Lipan Apaches and Tonkawas, he instituted the field system of Indian control. That is, instead of remaining at the agency headquarters and waiting for the Indians to pay him a visit, as was the common practice, Neighbors dealt with them directly in their home territory. Later, when he was overseeing Comanches, he continued this practice, with the result that he spent much time far beyond the frontier and exercised greater influence over the Indians in Texas than any other white man of his generation. In 1853 he was made supervising agent for the Texas Indians. As a member of the Fourth Texas Legislature he opened the way for Indian reservations. After receiving numerous death threats because of his attempts to protect Texas Indians, he was finally assassinated in 1859.

The Tunnels of Depot Town
One of the great mysteries of Ypsilanti are the tunnels of Depot Town, a network of tunnels behind the buildings on the north side of Cross Street. Questions have been raised for years as to who built the tunnels and why. It is a mystery that has been around for years.
The truth is, there is not one network of tunnels in Ypsilanti, but several. There is a network of tunnels on the east side of the city as well. The outlets for some of these tunnels at the Huron River were still visible into the 1930's.
"Various tunnels leading in several directions beneath the ground on the east side of the Huron River have been found from time to time, and the openings into these can still be seen at some places. One of them opens into the east bank of the Huron not far from the Michigan Central railroad station. These tunnels are timbered and stoned to support the walls and roofs, but owning to the small size of the passages and the danger of explorers becoming trapped by caveins they have never been completely investigated," reported The Daily Ypsilanti Press of June 19, 1936.
The tunnels of Depot Town had entrances in the basements of the building on the north side of the street. These were big enough for an adult to walk upright through.
The tunnels were blocked off years ago, when the city installed water mains under the alley years ago. A lot of work went into the making of these tunnels. Some say the tunnels were built by the Underground Railroad, to aid escaping slaves on their flight to Canada. The slaves, so the story goes, would hid in the tunnels, then take boats to Lake Erie and then to Canada. Yet this seems unlikely, as there were a number of mills and dams along the river in the 1850's. Anyone using the river for transport would have to get out of the river and around each of the dams, including the one at Michigan Ave., another at Water Works Park, and so on.
The entrance to one of these tunnels was in the basement of 27 East Cross Street, with its arched top and base of stone. At one time Harold Shauan owned the building. He went into the tunnel once to see where it went, and went in far enough to hear trains passing overhead. "At that stage, reported the Ypsilanti Press of July 12, 1962, "rodents were thick enough to discourage further progress and he returned to the original opening."
As it turns out, the tunnels were the work of the railroad, but not the Underground Railroad. Back in 1837, when the tracks for the Michigan Central Railroad were being laid, a drainage problem developed when a deep grade was cut into the hill between Park and Grove Streets. The Michigan Central Railroad dug a drain and allowed the residents of Ypsilanti, who had their own drainage problems, to connect to the drain. Thus the network of tunnels on the east side of the city.
The tunnels on the north side of Depot town were also the result of the railroad. It seems there was a siding that ran right behind the buildings on the north side of the street, where the alley is now. Behind the buildings facing the street were a number of outbuildings. To walk out the back door of the main buildings to get to the outbuildings could prove dangerous with a train passing by. So tunnels were dug under the tracks to make passage easy and safe.
Time passed and the need for the tunnels was removed and the use was forgotten. Still, the tunnels make a good story.
Prof. Peet's new house
Prof. B. W. Peet's new residence on Normal street, now almost completed, will undoubtedly rank among the most elegant homes in Ypsilanti.
Imposing as the structure is form the outside, no expense and artistic design have been spared to make the interior equally pleasing.
Perhaps the most attractive room is the dining room, situated on the north side of the house, with a front outlook. The most striking feature here is the beam ceiling, which is only found in some of the most modern houses. The woodwork, including wide panels and a plate shelf, are finished in weathered oak, making a pretty contrast with the white walls.
The beautiful curved stairway has called forth many comments of admiration. This, like the woodwork of the hall, living room, and nursery, has the dull, golden-oak, wax finish.
Plenty of light is admitted through the large plate glass windows in front made more attractive by the leaded panes around them. At the sides, the windows are entirely of leaded panes.
The nursery, at the rear of the living room, is made more pleasant by the large double French door, opening on the rear veranda. The same plan is used in the study, just above, the glass doors opening upon a little balcony, which will be enclosed with screens, making an excellent out-of-doors sleeping room.
Upstairs, the three front bedrooms are beautifully finished in white enamel, while the bath is of the same, with nickel trimmings.
Hardwood floors are used throughout the house, those of the bedrooms and bath being of beech wood, while the study and hall, upstairs, are finished like the rooms downstairs in oak.
Every possible convenience has been provided. Not only those which have come to be looked upon as necessities, as gas and electric lights, and bath with hot and cold water, but also others which aid much in making the home comfortable. One of these is a special flue, 8x12 feet, built along the chimney and opening into the kitchen, to create a draught which will carry away the steam and odors from cooking.
Another convenience is the clothes shoot, which is built from the linen closet, upstairs, to the laundry room in the basement.
(Prof. Peet taught chemistry at the Normal, now EMU, from 1899 until 1941. The hosue still stands at 128 North Normal Street)
A christmas Walking Tour?
A suggestion had been made that I give a walking tour every other month. I think this is worth looking into. As the month after November is December, this should be a Christmas Walking Tour. Now what do you think should be included in a Ypsilanti Christmas Walking Tour? I am open to ideas, and am looking forward to hearing from you.

Succesful Ghost Tour
The Ghost Tour was a success as a good number of people came to the tours. The best group in terms of numbers was the first on Friday night. I think this was because it followed the event on Michigan Ave. A number came from there right after it was over. A good size group followed me around Depot Town, in spit of sometimes pouring rain, to listen to the stories of ghosts, murders and mysteries. A smaller group came on Saturday, in spite of the nice weather. Smaller numbers came to the two tours on Sunday.
One problem for this, I think, was the confusion over where the tour was to start. It seems most people are unaware of the parking lot north of the Depot and across the railroad tracks from the Freighthouse. In the press releases I said it was across from the freighthouse, but this was cut because of space limits.
I think I will give a Ghost Tour next year, as this was such a success. But where should this start? Do you have any ideas?

Accidents Galore
This story was carried by The Ypsilantian on October 3, 1907.
Last week was prolific of accidents, but not serious results. Thursday afternoon while Mr. M. O. Straight of Detroit was giving several of his friends an automobile ride, they took the steep Tuttle hills. They went down the north hill safely but when nearly at the top of the south hill the machinery went wrong and the chauffeur was unable to stop it. The auto backed down the hill and was making for the bridge, where it would have gone off and dropped some distance into the river. As the ladies in the tonneau were closed in by the curtains, which were down, the gentleman realized the danger and pulled the car off the road by a great effort, landing it against the fence with such force as to break the back of the car badly, but without harming the occupants. A traction engine that came along just then towed the car out of its bad plight. (The sight of this accident is now under Ford Lake, as Tuttle Hill road once ran through there before the damming of the river. The bridge in the story is still there under the lake.)
Friday afternoon the brewery team ran away down River street, being frightened by the cars at the depot, and on turning into Congress street (now Michigan Ave.) caught the hind wheels into the buggy wheel of the rig in which Street Commissioner Lewis was sitting and whirled the horse and buggy completely around. The buggy wheel was smashed and Mr. Lewis wrenched his ankle in springing out, but none of the horses were hurt.
Saturday night the arc light wire in front of Davis & Co.'s store at the depot burned off and dropped to the pavement while the street was filled with people, making a fine display of fireworks and scaring everybody around. A telephone to the waterworks led to the turning off the current and the break was soon repaired. The same evening a tree limb fell across the Washtenaw electric Co.'s wires near Geddes and for two hours during the busy shopping hours, the stores had to resort to gas lamps and candles.
Family are Destitute
This story is from The Ypsilanti Daily Press of Wednesday, October 2, 1907.
A more pitiable condition could not be found in Ypsilanti than that of the family of Oscar Lawrence, who were burned out, on Railroad street, Monday night.
Almost destitute before the fire, they are now left penniless and with no household goods, and no clothes except what they had with them.
Mrs. Lawrence has been sick with a low fever for the past two months, and is just able to be up now.
Their four little boys, aged ten, five and three years, have poor prospects for food and warm clothing this winter.
Mr. Lawrence, who engages is horse trading and cistern cleaning, ahs no steady work.
Mrs. Lawrence, in her weak and nervous condition is almost frantic with worry.
"If it were only in the spring it wouldn't be so bad," she said, "for I don't know how we will ever get through the winter."
The family is now staying with his father and mother, at 53 East Forest avenue.
I will be hosting a Ghost Tour of Depot Town on the weekend before Halloween. The tours will be on Friday, October 26, 2007 and Saturday, October 27, 2007, beginning at 7:00 PM in the parking lot on River Street, across the railroad tracks from the Freighthouse. I am also thinking about holding a tour on the afternoon of Sunday, October 28, 2007, for those who prefer not to go out at night. The tour should take about an hour, and will include tales of ghosts, murder, and more. Cost $5.00 per person Looking forward to seeing you there.
Returning From W.C.T.U. Contest, Two Women and Boy Leap From Moving Car
Here is something I found while looking for something else. This appeared in the Ypsilanti Daily Press of Saturday, December 4, 1909.
Two women were hurled into space Friday evening from the rear platform of the 9:45 Detroit, Jackson & Chicago railway (Interurban) in a mysterious accident of which no explanation has been offered, either by car officials of victims.
Returning from the gold and silver Medal contest held by the Women's Christian Temperance Union at Denton, Mrs. Herbert Burrell, 33, her niece, Mabel, 20, and the latter's brother, Ray, 17, were precipitated to the hard gravel road which runs parallel to the tracks, a distance of 25 feet from the roadbed. Mrs. Burrell today is suffering from a broken shoulder, other serious bruises and physicians in attendance cannot tell but what internal injuries, which they fear she has suffered, will prove fatal.
Mrs. Burrell's niece, Mabel, is able to walk but is bandaged from head to foot. Her brother Ray is uninjured.
The cause of the accident? No one knows.
These facts can be gleaned however, from the maze of assertions made by those who witnessed the accident.
The car, which was under the charge of Motorman James McCormick and Conductor Jay Nelson, was proceeding at a fair rate of speed between Smith's switch and Mrs. Burrell's home, which is located about two and one half miles east of this city. As the car neared the Burrell farm, Mrs. Burrell, Mabel and Ray jumped from their seats and rushed to the rear platform. Ray jumped off uninjured.
The motorman, it is said had received no single to stop, and it is not understood why Mrs. Burrell leaped from the car. She was hurried to the roadside, and her shoulder broken, besides suffering sever bruises and possible internal injuries.
When Mable saw her aunt leap from thee moving car, she screamed and followed the lead of her relative. It was a miracle that she was not severely injured, in fact both of them not killed.
The car proceeded on its way for perhaps what would amount to two or three city blocks. A passenger, who had witnessed the sudden departure of the three passengers, recovered from the daze he was in, pulled the bell rope and rushed forward telling the conductor of the accident. The car was stopped and backed up. Mrs. Burrell was placed aboard the car and Miss Mabel assisted to a seat. The car stopped at the Burrell home and physicians were summoned.
When the unfortunate woman was placed in the car, her face and clothes were coveted with blood and it was feared that she was fatally injured.
The car was well filled with people returning from the contest at Denton and there were a number of passengers from Detroit, as the car was a through passenger.
The officials of the company could throw little light on the accident when questioned this morning, having but a meager account of the affair.
Miss Mabel and Ray Burrell are the children of Alfred J. Burrell, who with Herbert Burrell conducts the Burrell Bros. farm about two miles east of town. The families are well known in this section of the county, and Mrs. Burrell is an enthusiastic member of the Women's Temperance Union.
Is there a special place where you want to go? A place that is special because you have been there and want to go back? Or is it a place you have heard of, or read about, and want to see for yourself? There is a special place I want to go. I want to go to Hulbert, Michigan. Do not worry if you have never heard of Hulbert, Michigan, as it is a crossroad village in the Upper Peninsular. I have been there once, and want to go back.
It was back in the summer of 1984, when my father told me we were going on a trip. We had never done anything like this before, and would never do anything like this again. This was the year when my sister had died suddenly, and four years before my mother had died. It was also at this time my father began to feel the effects of the emphysema that would finally kill him twelve years later. There was a reason for the trip, but he was not likely to talk about that.
So a few days after the Heritage Festival we got in the car and headed north. We were at the Straits of Mackinac by early evening and settled into a motel. The next morning we visited Mackinac Island, and that afternoon toured the canal at the Sault Sainte Marie. I was slowly coming to realize that we were following the rout taken by my mother and father had taken on their honeymoon. This was confirmed the next day when we drove to Hulbert.
My parents had spent two nights of there honeymoon at Hulbert, bank in the 1940's. Back then, the only way to see the Tahquamenon Falls was by ferry, and that was an all day journey. For years after, when they spoke of Hulbert they would talk of the man who ran the hotel, and owned the general store, the saloon and the post office. Then they would add that about all there was to Hulbert was the hotel, the general store, the saloon and the post office.
In silence we rode and pull in to park in front of the hotel in Hulbert. Looking around we saw there was the hotel, the general store and the post office and not much more. We entered the hotel and were greeted by a woman who seemed to be the manager. She told us the man who had owned the hotel years before had died ten years before and his wife was in a nursing home.
We stepped out of the hotel and my father stopped to stand and look around. I thought of suggesting we take a photo of the village but something inside me made me keep quit. I will never know what my father was thinking about as he stood there; he was not the kind of man to express himself that way. I wonder if he was remembering the time he spent there with my mother. Then, without a word, we got in the car and drove off.
I plan to go back to Hulbert someday, perhaps even stay at the hotel where my parents had spent time on their honeymoon. I want to go back, because it holds a special memory for me.
Neat House is Reopened
This story appared in the Ypsilanti Daily Press of Friday, June 7, 1907.
Oliver Westfall and son, Clarence, who have taken over the Neat house at the Michigan Central depot and will conduct it as a European hotel, gave a house-warming last night. The "boys" had such a good time that they haven't got through telling about it yet. And there was a bunch of them there too. The place was packed. The invitations read that the "reception" would be held from 7:00 to 11 o'clock, and during that time there was a big crush.
The Westfalls had provided a bountiful and tasty luncheon. There was the choicest and largest roast of beef that could be bought and cooked. Then there was cold ham, radishes, green onions, pickles, biscuits, bread and cheese. A lay out of this character would naturally create a thirst, and there were liquids in profusion to quench it.
The Neat house had been closed for some time previous to the Westfalls taking it over. W. H. Lewis, a former proprietor, says it was a money maker for him. A good man will be engaged to conduct the dining room. The house has about 15 rooms.

New Archive Hours
The Ypsilanti City Archives have moved from the carrage house behind the Museum and into the basement of the Museum. The new space is an improvemtn over the old, and worth a visit. With the change of place there is also a change in times the Archives are open. The Archives are now open Tuesday thru Saturday from 2:00 to 5:00 PM. The Museum and Archives are closed even Monday and all major holidays.
As you may have heard, I am planning to give a Ghost Tour of Depot Town on the weekend before Halloween. At this time I have three ghosts, two murders and the mystery of the tunnels. I hoe to scare up a few more ghosts and some other tales by the time of the tour. It should be fun.

John Dolbee Cuts Throat
The following story appeard in The Ypsilanti Record of Thursday, August 23, 1917.
Workmen on going to work Wednesday morning at Highland cemetery found John V. Dolbee, a former Ypsilanti man, laying across the grave of his wife, his throat cut and his wrists slashed with a razor, evidently with suicidal intent. Though almost lifeless, he was hurried t the University hospital at Ann Arbor where he was today reported still alive with some chance for recovery.
Despondency over the death of his wife three years ago, made more acute when his son Austin Jay, fell from the third story window of a Highland Park apartment house last Saturday and received injuries from which he died Sunday, is believed to be the cause of his effort to end his life
The son's body was brought to Ypsilanti Tuesday and buried at Highland cemetery. The father attended the burial, and it is believed a despondent mood, went alone to the cemetery at night and at the grave of his wife sought to end his life
He used a razor, slashing his throat and severing his windpipe but fortunately failing to injure the jugular vein. He also slashed his wrists, and though weak and unconscious from loss of blood, there were signs of life in the morning.
At first view his discoverers thought he was dead, and officers were so informed. Coroner Burchfield of Ann Arbor was dispatched word and he drove to Ypsilanti. A physician was called immediately when the discovery was made that life was not extinct and he was at once taken to University hospital. There it was stated there was a chance for recovery. Recovering to speak, Mr. Dolbee declared it was his desire to die.
He is 56 years of age. He has a son, Dan Dolbee, a daughter Mrs. Dora Long, of Muskegon and another daughter, Mrs. Lutie Long, residing on the Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor road.
Mr. Dolbee is a carpenter by trade, residing for many years at 622 Prospect Street. He has in recent years been plying his trade in Detroit. The son, Austin Jay, was employed in Highland Park when he met with his fatal fall.
I am going to keep working on the blog, and see if I can make a real go of it.
For some time I have been having trouble getting on to the old blog. Well, infact, I could no longer get on the old blog at all. So, I have decided to start a new blog. I will endeaver to keep up the history of the old, and add commits as I go along. A new beginning, so lets see what happens.

A Quietus Interview
Writing Yourself Into Existence: Tunde Adebimpe And Doseone Discuss Nevermen
Kiran Acharya , March 9th, 2016 10:45
The TV On The Radio singer and Anticon rapper tell Kiran Acharya about recording Nevermen, their project with Faith No More's Mike Patton, the role of the frontman and Boards Of Canada's love of stuffed animals
It's rare to hear a record that has been made without pressure, without deadlines forcing a cut-off point or compromise on some aspect that might have been more complete had it been given time to mature. Nevermen was produced without interference – that is to say without money being spent or the need to finish quickly and tour – by Mike Patton, Adam 'Doseone' Drucker and Tunde Adebimpe over eight years, resulting in a hallucinatory jubilee of an album, something which is, says Drucker, "just beholden to itself and finished with grace".
The trio developed demos one by one as time allowed, in the meantime completing everything from the new TV On The Radio album Seeds to Doseone's unique solo album G Is For Deep and Sol Invictus by Faith No More. The Nevermen songs were allowed to become what they needed to be.
All three are delighted with the outcome, Adebimpe doubly so because the experience of recording has evaporated over time and he has the critical distance which allows him to truly enjoy the songs. Patton, unfortunately unavailable to interview alongside his bandmates, enthusiastically agreed to produce something with Drucker before crossing paths with Adebimpe at an Australian festival. Adebimpe, a Faith No More fan since the age of 14, admits to being starstruck by Patton's eminence, to "saying hi before nervously looking at my feet and walking away".
But Adebimpe's shyness is misplaced given his own white-hot pace of creation. His collaborations and unexpected offshoots have produced unique and exciting songs like 'Province' with David Bowie or 'Pray For Rain' with Massive Attack. Highlights from Drucker's myriad one-offs, meanwhile, include 'Weight In Song', part of the BOATS album made by Scottish film-makers Transgressive North to benefit the Light Of Love Children's Home in India, or the celebrated Boards Of Canada remix of 'Dead Dogs Two' by cLOUDDEAD, a song which was strangely and unexpectedly covered by Jack White in San Francisco in 2014. Boards Of Canada have contributed to Nevermen by way of a blissful 'Mr. Mistake' remix, which comes about, as Drucker explains below, following an unexpected meeting at the final Incredible Warp Lighthouse Party back in the year 2000.
Tunde Adebimpe
On the Nevermen song 'Non Babylon' there's the idea of 'the frontman digesting himself'. Which frontmen did you admire growing up? Was there anybody that you emulated or pretended to be?
Tunde Adebimpe: I never had a Mick Jagger phase – I didn't have the hips for it. But is Michael Jackson a frontman? He's just in his own idiom. Seeing a performer like Michael Jackson, or when I was 13 or 14, seeing Public Enemy doing some tour after Fear Of A Black Planet. I remember looking at Chuck D and thinking this is somebody who's the focal point but not really fronting it, like the still centre of this incredible storm. I remember thinking that was a cool way to do it. And Iggy Pop. I remember Iggy Pop. If you're up there onstage you've got to do something – and you can actually do anything.
Do you feel you've learned anything from watching Iggy Pop? From his performances, perhaps, or his self-belief?
TA: Yeah. Even as a fan, as someone who's into his performances, the Stooges and his own stuff, Iggy is one of the people who kept underlining something that a lot of my older musician friends with punk roots say: you get into this space in your life where you feel like a weirdo, you're marginalised, you don't fit in… and then you can get up on stage in front of people who probably hate you. And you should assume that they hate you. But you make them realise during the course of the show that no, you're here to see me. This is my room and you're gonna deal with whatever happens.
I think I've even heard Iggy say that. There are people who kind of let you know that you can silence the room. You can do it in a very loud way, or you can do it in a very quiet way. It's not even respect, but you can shake attention out of someone even if they despise what you're doing.
TV On The Radio and Iggy Pop have a person in common in the shape of David Bowie. Do you share the sense of loss that characterised the start of this year?
TA: Even just talking about it now you get this chill down the back. Of course, hearing that Bowie passed was like you don't really believe it. It's as if the sky shifted a little bit, to remind you it was there.
In the limited time he spent with TV On The Radio, he was the sweetest person, the most humble, hilarious person. That's the thing I remember the most. He kept cracking everyone up and kind of shocking everyone, pushing everyone out of the slack-jawed silence I'm sure he got a lot. People would be talking but the only thing they're thinking is: "Oh my god… you're David Bowie."
Of course now you feel like you're in one of those times – everyone who lives long enough lives to see people passing away, from idols to family members. It sweeps through everything. And you always have the idea that nobody really wins at life, you know? But if anybody won life, David Bowie did, at least as a creative entity in the sense of writing yourself into existence and writing yourself out in such a graceful swoop.
What did you learn from recording 'Province' with Bowie?
TA: I guess that whole idea that imagination exists because reality is neither sufficient, nor real. The lesson is that if you push hard enough you can change. You can take everything you know and round it up, turn it into something else, and keep turning things into something else. I guess it's the idea of possibility, of following that idea wherever it's going to take you, and never getting stuck.
A pretty jumbled answer, but that was his example, and the example of several hundred people over the course of time. People who say: "Actually this doesn't really work for me. I'm going to show you something different, and it's going to be absolutely from my heart because my heart is different. I'm going to show you that, and you're going to realise that there's something in there for you as well."
The Nevermen song 'Tough Towns' asks whether you can change yourself and transcend the person you were when you lived in a certain place. Do you feel that you can become a different person in that way?
TA: I think you can add on to that person. Even trying to negate that person, you have to recognise that person in order to negate it. You're building on whoever that was. I was born in St. Louis and lived in Pittsburgh for a bit, before my family moved to Nigeria, where they're from. We lived there for three or four years and came back to the States when I was about ten. I realised that I'd gone from place to place not fitting in. The thing that helped me fit in when moving around and not having a ton of friends was that I could make art. That was the through-line. There was something in me, even leaving fifth grade, that hit me and said, "I have to get out of here. I don't know where, and I don't know what else I can do but I'm really not going to end up like any of these people."
That takes you through your teenage years, and your worldview gets informed by the type of music you gravitate toward, the people you gravitate toward. Being 15 and like a punk in the DIY community, basically being with a group of people like no one else, it was the first place to exclude or call out if people were racist, sexist, homophobic or in any way prejudiced. Realising that yeah, I want to be around these positive, expressive people who are doing something different and who also want to get the hell out of there and don't want to be around basic human bullshit.
But I will say for me, the idea of leaving the place that you're from? You can physically move yourself around but there's that great line that Adam wrote: "Does it define for life, like print of thumb?" I think it does. Whoever that ten-year-old was is still piloting my brain and informing my choices. Those are the posts that you're driving between and you need to remember that no matter how old you get or how many different situations you're in it's always with you. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. It can carry you forth.
In the past eight years you've gravitated towards people like Mike and Adam. What do you find compelling about Adam's writing and lyrics?
TA: Adam is one of my favourite writers, period. He has such a unique voice and he's somebody who I admire so much for putting the effort into inventing his own language and furthering it. There's a line on the album, "You change the alphabet to keep yourself busy." He's one of the few people who, from the moment I heard anything, be it cLOUDDEAD to Themselves and 13 & God, everything, I just loved. It's weird to say someone's such a great poet, like those words aren't adequate, but he's such a great poet. He really is.
You can discern a story or narrative on the Nevermen album to do with an imagined frontman and the dangers of fame or compromising your art. What story, to you, is told by the ten tracks on the record?
TA: There were definitely conversations that Adam and I had after TV On The Radio and Subtle toured together, which is how Adam and I met, and hanging out in New York after, where we talked about the idea of a band and a frontman, what that means, and the idea of working as a musician no matter how many eyes are on you. There are a lot of spikes that can happen when what you're doing starts to get attention or people start to talk about it. They can just kind of really do a number on your reasons for making music. I don't want my reasons to be informed by what people think about what I'm doing, so it turns into this whole hall of mirrors. You can get lost very easily.
The ten tracks on the record are portrait shots of different aspects of that. Like 'Shellshot', where it says, "Like a bag of diamonds being struck by a crutch", that's all about being shoved into promotion and having to take pictures. People are much more groomed for that now than 20 years ago. People are like: "I've got all my press shots ready, I know exactly what it is, I've got my look." I feel like now if you're going to start a band you have to have an Instagram full of yourself looking a certain way, lined up like five dudes in mugshot alley, hanging out by the bridge or up against the wall, or "We're in a library for some reason!" That song especially touches on the idea of how awkward and strange that can be.
Adam Drucker
Nevermen was almost eight years in the making, though I gather that's because you were completing songs one-by-one, when schedules allowed.
Adam Drucker: In a perfect world, not rushing and letting the songs be done when they are is how everyone would like to work but doesn't get the opportunity to. And because there's no money spent on Nevermen – it's like friends, like how real people would make an album – we could ignore any of the other self-imposed pressures of finishing and rushing any aspect. It's nice to actually slow-cook a meal for once.
Did you find Mike a hard taskmaster? Would he say: "These are good, but you have to do A, B and C if you want to make this better"?
AD: You know those scenes in movies where the husband comes home and the wife has put all his belongings on the lawn? The husband's like, "Oh my god all my shit's on the lawn!" That's how Mike guts a fucking track. What I love about working with Mike is there's no grey area. I yearn for it in all of my collaborators now. It's either doing it for the song or it's not. And if not, he throws it the fuck out the window.
Most creatives, or indeed any people, you ask, "Hey! Do you like this blue paint?" And they give you exactly what you didn't ask for: something between an opinion and an answer. Mike would just say it, know it, and we'd move the fuck on. I really like that. It wasn't like I had to do more push-ups in front of him, ever, musically. But he had carte blanche to throw shit away. I think that's important. Respecting one another's right to throw shit away. He cut two beats out of 'Tough Towns'. Working with another unpredictable producer guy is completely refreshing.
You've said that 'Hate On' is one of your favourite Nevermen songs. What is it about that song that holds your affection?
AD: It's the one that gives me chills. It's incredibly minimal, and I get it. Already I can see some unwanted haterade. The other songs deliver rather complicated concepts in a complicated fashion - or slightly simplified - but 'Hate On' is a single pill.
What I like about the Nevermen record is that stuff became what it is. We didn't try to make everything into hits. There aren't any singles; we had to force the 'singles' ['Tough Towns', 'Mr. Mistake' and 'Hate On']. We tried to make an album as that's what we wanted to make together. I like that 'Hate On' is a bizarro intro-outro thing in the middle of the record. It doesn't have a dad. It's just doing what it wants.
It's only about haters because the first thing you hear when Tunde sings, he's not actually saying "hate on". He's singing through this giant carpet-tube, and it sounded like "hate on". But to me it's not actually about Rick Ross-type of haters; it's not about the modern hater. The lyrics are about how music has changed, people's appreciation of music, how hard it is to be an indie dude working. You should spend all of your hate on that shithead who bought the Wu-Tang album and raised the price of his AIDS drug. These are the guys to whom all hate should be directed.
Does the Nevermen album follow a Subtle-style narrative, addressing different aspects of music-making, fame and success for a fictional frontman?
AD: Yeah, very much so, and less gilded in its presentation of that concept. When I try to write stuff it's never meant to be preachy in any regard, but it is nice to get it right, to say it fuckin' right, whatever I'm feeling. I think the Nevermen record presents the resonant truths that we three front-dudes have in common that are relatable to other people.
Tunde expressed a particular admiration for 'Shellshot'. Could you tell me a little bit more about that song? It's one of the more aggressive songs on the record.
AD: 'Shellshot' is funny. We didn't want to do any press photos for Nevermen because it fucking sucks, man. That's the weirdest shit in the world. Taking a picture with your high school buddy at a picnic, in the middle of summer when you're drinking a beer and it's so fun and a blast? That's what cameras are for.
So 'Shellshot', and the bag of diamonds being hit with a crutch? Tunde's the same way as me, we're really proud of our music but we're not really proud guys. I might have crazy haircuts but I'm not driven by 200% vanity. 'Shellshot' is a chance to be poetic and angry and honest about how unimportant that portion of things is. These songs are written about things that the three of us can stand behind, as opposed to our opinions on processed ham. We stack the deck with stuff we can really shout about.
And 'Shellshot' was one of the sloppiest creatures, too. I think 'Shellshot' went into the oven twice. We didn't know about it for quite some time. Then it got its shit together. Some of the demos were literally just yelling and banging. 'Shellshot' was one of them. That one was hit with a rock at the back of the village and got put down the hard way.
Some of your best tracks over the years have been the unforeseen remixes and unexpected collaborations. Do you recall how it felt to receive Mike's remix of 'Long Vein Of The Voice', for Subtle?
AD: Back then I didn't produce at all, so Patton was twice as magical and mystical to me. Being able to hear what he hears and then execute it – I'm used to seeing a guitarist do that, like, "Ooh, I hear the riff." With Patton, he gets a look in his eye and he's like "I hear something…" And he comes back minutes later with a Balinese breakbeat with a Morricone twist.
'Long Vein Of The Voice', I was like, what is going on with this dude? What did he turn this into? All that voice. If we do more stuff together then more than half of it has to be natural, where you're just allowing voice to be everything. Also too, he does this thing the same way that Aphex does, he has such a raw talent that he makes choices that I wasn't aware were even options. Adding instruments to parts of a song and having them somehow find a pocket. That to me was a huge lesson. Like, there's more than 808s in the universe.
The Nevermen song 'Non Babylon' seems to attack the idea of vain frontmen, but it's also one of the most transcendent songs. It spirals upwards at the end in a similar mood to the end of Mulholland Drive, where you've got a destitute actress who still dreams of being a dazzling star in a perfect world.
AD: That song is definitely a spotlight on a lonely dude. We didn't have any visual component that we were striving for when trying to end the song, but it was cinematic and that's just something that Patton really hears. That's what 'Non Babylon' culminates into. He's a great song-ender. It sucks back into itself and it's not too rocky, not too rappy. Musically it's about obeying the line, because most rap songs don't really end in that cinematic fashion.
The rock aspects, what Mike added and the way he and Tunde can sing, I think they're more endearing as far as wrapping everything up at the end. Because we tried everything. If something was rapped on the record it was also sung. At one point we were talking about remixing every verse. I have everyone doing every line – the whole record could have been interchangeable.
What was your first point of contact with Boards Of Canada, who remixed 'Dead Dogs Two' for cLOUDDEAD and now 'Mr. Mistake' for Nevermen?
AD: This is full of fun names and tiny stories. A million years ago, when I had just put out the Circle album [a collaboration with Boom Bip], and then cLOUDDEAD got picked up by Ninja Tune, our publicist introduced me to Prefuse 73. He had just been signed to Warp and I wanted to meet him because I loved the Savath & Savalas first record. Long story short, he's flown out to do his first Warp gig ever, and it's the last of the big Warp lighthouse parties, and apparently the only show that Boards Of Canada ever left the house for.
So unbeknownst to me, I just know I'm going and I'm a huge Boards fan, Autechre fan, of everything on Warp. I worked at Amoeba Records, I was the pop buyer, and Dax [Pierson] the keyboard player in Subtle is exposing me to all this music. So I hand-wrapped all these cLOUDDEAD 10"s and made all these stuffed animals. I used to switch the heads of stuffed animals and give them to people. Autechre were straight up: they looked at me like, "Who the fuck are you?" They totally gave me the hip-hop face. I ended up giving their stuffed animal to Björk, who I also don't think really enjoyed getting a stuffed animal.
But lo and behold! I didn't know where to be, I was not famous, it was like Björk and Aphex and all these people in the front of the tour bus drinking beers, and I just did not feel good. So I go in the back where it's really dark and there's two couples sitting in the back and I'm like, "Hey. Hi… how are you guys?" And it was Boards and their girlfriends. I was like, "No! It's you!" And they fuckin' loved the stuffed animals, and then they went home and listened to the 10"s and went out of their way to email me, and really loved cLOUDDEAD. It was like the universe just opened up. We had this totally human interaction at a giant rave.
I asked them for the cLOUDDEAD remix and they said yes, then I figure it's been a minute and I love them and I miss them, and we ask them about Nevermen and they immediately say yes. They're such ninjas. The talent and confidence it takes to make their music as consistently and as warmly as they do. Not only is it beautiful and stunning and giving me feelings and making my head drift, but what they choose not to put on a song is just so good, man. I may be blessed with the powers of ADD or something, but I really am in awe of what they create. I listen to their music and I'm like, "Hot damn! This is some pristine decision-making!"

How blacklists don't work
Oh, how I love tossing an IP into multirbl.valli.org, a true one-stop-shop to instantly check "all the things." But I also see a lot of people freak out when they see the results realizing, "My IP is blacklisted!!!"
At this point, I usually step away from my laptop, grab a cup of tea, listen to a clip of the ocean, and ask my sister to text me the story about a kid who knocked her glasses off in gym class resulting in a seemingly endless "Velma Moment."
That's because there's just so many blacklists in existence, primarily because there are no requirements to start one. Anyone with a computer connected to the internet can create a public blacklist, and as a result, not all of them are useful or apply to the messages you send.
So it's helpful to know that your recipient has to reference the blacklist for it to affect you. That means a Chinese blacklist like CASA probably won't be referenced by a recipient in the United States. And if you're not sending to Spanish-speaking/South American recipients, being listed by NoSolicitado likely won't affect your deliverability either.
Beyond that, the recipient has to weigh the blacklist heavily to block a message. Most blacklists are implemented just as flags to put the email through more rigorous spam-filtering (in fact, most directly instruct you use them this way). For example, SORBS tends to have a lot of listing activity, but often only a handful of private domains see deliverability issues because of it, which suggests that most people using SORBS take certain listings there with a grain of salt.
Also note that most blacklists list things automatically, and again most delist automatically after a short time. The more influential and reputable the blacklist, the more likely this is the case. It means that just because I see an IP listed now doesn't mean it was listed when my message was sent, nor does it mean that it'll be listed during the next send. (Do you believe in g-g-ghost listings??)
We have great respect for blacklists owners, people who genuinely just want to make the internet a better place, so we know a listing itself is never the full story. If you notice an IP is blacklisted, feel free to pass a note to the Postmark support team to confirm. Then I can assess deliverability trends for any affected messages, investigate potential causes, as well as begin the delisting process where necessary—and all in return for just a few Scooby Snacks. 😋

Charles Lincoln Merryman is originally from Bangor, Maine. He was born in 1865, and he evidently took to photography at an early age: He was running his own photo shop in Bangor when he was still a teenager. In 1884 Merryman went to Boston where he spent the next eight years working for the Blair Camera Company. In 1892 he moved to Kerkhoven, and for several months he operated a photo studio there out of a tent. In 1893 Merryman purchased the building pictured here on 11th street, and he remodeled it to accommodate a photo studio by extending the building and adding skylights to it. Merryman ran this photography business for nearly fifty years, and he eventually had two satellite studios in Sunberg and Spicer Minnesota. The following excerpt is from a 1941 article in the Willmar Daily Tribune upon the razing of Merryman's studio: "One of Kerkhoven's old landmarks has made its exit bow to progress and now remains but a memory. It is the small frame building owned and used by C. L. Merryman as a photograph gallery for the past 47 years. The lot was purchased in October 1890, from St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railroad Company by C.L. Westerdahl, father of A. Westerdahl of the Nyquist-Westerdahl Hardware Company. The building, which was originally constructed in Murdock in 1878, was moved to Kerkhoven the same year. In January, 1893, A. Westerdahl took over the property, selling it to Mr. Merryman. Adding 16 feet to the west end of the building, the latter made it into a photograph studio where, until the first World War, he did a thriving business. In November, , Mr. Merryman sold the property to the Westgaard & Foote garage. They have now razed the building to make room for a parking lot. Mr. Merryman has transferred his studio equipment to his residence where he continues to carry on his much-loved profession by means of the photo flood light system. The building was 62 years old" (1941).

Embraer to sell six KC-390s to defense services company
By Valerie Insinna
On Feb. 6, 2018, Embraer announced that it had signed a letter of intent with defense services firm SkyTech for six KC-390 multimission transport aircraft. (Embraer)
SINGAPORE — Embraer moved closer to another contract for its KC-390 multimission transport aircraft on Tuesday, signing a letter of intent with aviation services company SkyTech for up to six aircraft, the company announced.
Details on the collaboration remain somewhat opaque. According to an Embraer news release, the KC-390s would be dedicated to "multiple defense projects" conducted by SkyTech, which currently owns a fleet of Airbus A320s, A330s and A340s for military and cargo transport as well as other services.
Embraer declined to comment further on the types of missions for which SkyTech plans to use the KC-390, but the aircraft could help facilitate many of the roles listed on the latter company's website, including aerial refueling and medical evacuation.
Check out more news from Singapore Airshow 2018!
"We have been following the KC-390 program since its inception and believe that it will be a game-changer in the medium-sized airlift category as well as a multi-role platform," Paulo Mirpuri, president of SkyTech, said in the release.
The company is a joint venture of HiFly — a Portuguese company that specializes in defense aviation services — and Adagold Aviation of Australia.
The KC-390 is capable of accomplishing a wide variety of missions, including search and rescue, aerial firefighting or supporting paratroopers.
Embraer, Boeing Hope KC-390 Will Have Long Payout
Embraer and Boeing plan to work together on the KC-390 for a long time.
The deal with SkyTech is the second international KC-390 deal, with Portugal as its first foreign customer with an order of five planes. The Brazilian military has put 28 production aircraft and two prototypes under order. It can transport up to 26 metric tons of cargo at a maximum speed of 470 knots and take off and land on unimproved runways.
Beyond the potential KC-390 deal, the companies have agreed "to jointly explore new business opportunities in training and services," with the KC-390 as the first of "a wide variety of platforms that will fulfill various niche rolls and projects that SkyTech is undertaking worldwide" — a potential indication that SkyTech could seek to procure other Embraer products in the realm of military airlift or intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
"Embraer is keen to have SkyTech as a strategic partner for some of our own planned projects, where we see them adding value and enhancements by providing various ongoing solutions to our own defense customer base," said Jackson Schneider, president and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security.
