Our 5 Free BlackBerry Storm Applications Worth Downloading post that we did a week and a half ago was so popular in terms of page views that we've decided to follow it up with 5 more free BlackBerry Storm applications worth downloading. This time, however, we are going to showcase BlackBerry Storm specfic applications that run only on the BlackBerry Storm.
YouTube for BlackBerry Storm — Although YouTube videos will play on a couple of different BlackBerry devices, the BlackBerry Storm is the first BlackBerry to receivce a mobile YouTube client that makes searching and finding popular videos along with signing into your YouTube account a cinch.
WeatherBug for BlackBerry Storm — Think Weatherbug for you desktop, but, on your BlackBerry Storm. Hands down the best BlackBerry weather application available for the BlackBerry Storm.
Tiltris — Tiltris is a new spin on the popular game Tetris. Instead of using buttons to control the direction that the blocks slide, you use the BlackBerry Storm's accelorometer to "tilt" the blocks in the direction that you want them to move.
iBerry Bottom Dock — Not exactly a free BlackBerry Storm application, we know. iBerry Bottom Dock is, however, arguably one of the best looking free BlackBerry Storm Themes out there right now.
Readers Choice *** — Here is your chance to tell us one of your favorite BlackBerry Storm applications. If you know of one worth downloading, leave us a description and a link in the comments.
Also for fun try "StormSaber" and "BerryScreenCleaner" which are both free use storm specific apps.
I know this isn't really about games, but I'm surprised you haven't mentioned Guitar Hero World Tour. Its the game everyone has been looking for.
Guitar Hero is a great game, however, it isn't free, which was a requirement in the original post.
At some point I will write a post about the top BlackBerry applications out, free or premium.
In fact, I can't believe you didn't write a whole article about GTWH. Everyone wanted to know where the games are for the Storm, well here's the best one.
Slacker radio is a must!
Great stuff. Better than Slacker I think.
I really think google maps in a wonderful application and everyone should download it. The VZ Navigator is expensive and not worth paying for with the availability of google maps. Google maps shows you where you are and if you don't know the location of where you want to go but know the name of it, you can just enter that in and google maps gives you possible locations.
codes for tiltris does not work! please help! Thanx.


Werewolf masks and wolf masks have been popular mostly since the werewolf movie An American Werewolf in London and Michael Jacksons Thriller video, but werewolves and scary wolf stories have been circuiting around the world for centuries. Our scary wolf masks come in many different colours, you will find grey, black and brown. We stock scary werewolf masks to cater for and scare the whole family.

Million-Dollar Results at RM Sotheby's Villa Erba 2019 Sale
Five cars sold for more than a million euro each at the 2019 RM Sotheby's Villa Erba classic car auction:
The top result a the RM Sotheby's Villa Erba 2019 sale was €3,717,500 ($4,203,320) paid for an original, matching-numbers 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial Spider, chassis no. 0448 MD. This 500 Mondial was the 12th of just 13 Pinin Farina Spiders built. The car boasts extensive period racing history and is an exceptionally eligible car for historic racing and concours events. The car is fully restored and Ferrari Classiche certified. The result was slightly lower than achieved on two 500 Mondial Spiders sold at auction in 2018.

A 1957 Porsche 550A Spyder sold for achieved €3,380,000 ($3,821,713) – not far off recent results for similar cars. Few cars exemplifies the appeal of a 1950s sports racing car more than a 1957 Porsche 550A Spyder, providing exceptional usability and ultimate eligibility for historic events. The car sold at Villa Erba is one of only 40 cars made and benefits from a well-known and highly documented history. Chassis no. 550A-0121 was first delivered to Denmark in 1957 and enjoyed competition history there as well as in Africa where it went on to be sold. The car has undergone a complete, body-off restoration by leading Porsche specialists and has only covered 100km on the road since returning from the workshop.
Although Aston Martin prices have been weaker at recent auctions, the 1960s Aston Martins are always desirable with rare and special versions still demanding premium prices. The rare 1965 Aston Martin Short-Chassis Volante, achieved €1,805,000 (2,040,900) – well above the $1.7 million achieved on a similar car at RM Sotheby's Amelia Island 2017. The car is one of the final examples of a mere 37 built. Offered after a period of long-term ownership and beautifully restored in Switzerland by renowned experts, the car is matching numbers and features a rare and desirable hardtop.
The RM Sotheby's Villa Erba 2019 sale featured a large selection of rare Zagato-bodied cars in celebration of the coachbuilder's 100th anniversary. The leading car in this group was a 1955 Fiat 8V Coupé by Zagato, chassis no. 000076, that sold for €1,771,250 ($2,002,720) – a strong result for an 8V. It is one of only 26 coupes built by Zagato.

The absolutely stunning 1931 Bugatti Type 50 Roadster rounded out the top five sellers on the night. The pre-war great achieved €1,411,250 ($1,595,680). This incredible supercharged, eight-cylinder engined touring car, is one of two remaining examples with original Jean Bugatti-designed factory coachwork and was offered in beautiful restored condition. The lot included factory records and the original bill of sale.

For the smaller budget, a modern recreation Bugatti Type 35 Junior sold for €10,800.
To achieve nearly €20 million in gross sales is a great result, and it's testament to the high-quality cars that were on offer at Villa Erba. We have once again demonstrated that the best 1950s sports racing cars with strong provenance remain the most highly prized collector cars in this hobby-driven market, while cars such as the Aston Martin Volante and Fiat 8V Coupe demonstrate how the appeal of timeless design and low production numbers are key factors in driving demand among enthusiasts and collectors."
Augustin Sabatié-Garat, Car Specialist and the Villa Erba Auction Manager, RM Sotheby's
Top Cars Not Sold at RM Sotheby's Villa Erba 2019
Three further cars received unsuccessful bids of over a million dollar at the RM Sotheby's Villa Erba sale. The highest unsuccessful bid was €2,780,000 for a 1955 Maserati A6G/2000 Berlinetta – not far off the estimate of €3-3.5 million).
A highest bid of €1,280,000 for a 1963 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Roadster was similarly not far off the estimate of €1.4-1.6 million and well within range of recent results for the model.
A 2015 McLaren P1 failed to sell with a highest bid of €1,000,000 – the estimate of €1.1-1.3 million already reflected how the value of these models has dropped since $2 million were achieved on several cars in 2017.

Blog Teams AC Milan Talking points – Scolari, Italy and that Austrian penalty. What do you think?
Talking points – Scolari, Italy and that Austrian penalty. What do you think?
We all like a bit of a discussion and debate at the start of the week so I thought I'd take a look at some the talking points from the last week, say what I think about them and ask you to get involved.
I'll take three things of note from the last seven days and see if we can agree on any of them! I bet we can't!
Well, after all the names being linked with the Chelsea job we finally found at that big Phil Scolari is taking over at the end of the Euros.
It won't be Mourinho, Ancelotti, Mancini, Hughes, Hiddink, Rijkaard or any of the other forty or fifty names that the press had told us were almost certainly going to get the job, but it will be the Brazilian legend who has achieved so much in South America and internationally, but has never managed a club side in Europe.
Will he be a success? On the plus side, he has pretty much been successful wherever he has been, the players who play for him are loyal to him and it is likely that Deco and maybe others will go with him to Stamford Bridge. On the minus side, he doesn't know Premier League or Champions League football and speaks little English.
Do we think that his advice to Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Manchester United was 'out of order' in the light of the fact that he probably knew he was going to take over at their main rivals when he said it?
The problem for Scolari is that he will only be judged a success if he wins either or both of the big tournaments in which Chelsea were runners-up this season. On that basis, and the fact that Scolari will probably struggle with the tabloid press intrusion in England I believe that Scolari won't achieve what he needs to.
I am loathe to get involved in the debate on that Austrian penalty, as feelings have run very high since the incident. I totally and utterly condemn the disgraceful death threats and images circulating around the internet and have no desire to stir up any more trouble around what has happened.
I am looking at this purely from a football point of view and not commenting on the conspiracy theories. The question to look at is, was it a foul? I think we would all answer that question with a word somewhere between possibly and definitely.
Would it have been a free-kick in any other part of the pitch? Again, somewhere between possibly and definitely.
Should it have been awarded as a penalty? That is where the answers will vary from absolutely definitely not to totally right decision.
In such a simple game with so few rules, how can we have an incident that splits followers of football so divisively? It would seem pretty simple really. If it was a foul, it was a penalty. The problem is that we have allowed players to get away with that sort of marking at corners and free-kicks for so long that to suddenly award one at that stage of such a crucial game was bound to cause controversy.
My view is that it was a foul, but the award of the penalty was extremely harsh in the circumstances. If penalties are going to be given for such incidents then the game must change totally and not just for the odd incident here and there.
What do you think? No ridiculous personal criticism of the ref please, just honest football opinions.
Like Milan before them, have the current Italian team become too old and too predictable to reach their previous heights? The likes of Zambrotta, Guttuso, Pirlo, Del Pierro, Camoranesi, Ambrosini and Buffon have all been there and done it. In their two games so far in the Euros they have looked somewhat devoid of ideas and a shadow of their former selves.
Even Toni up front does not look like much of a threat despite his fine scoring record and glowing reputation.
Buffon made a fine save from the Mutu penalty but in the first game against the Dutch he looked hesitant and indecisive. Zambrotta gave away a goal with a careless back header, Pirlo has failed to influence games and the others have been totally anonymous.
Is this a temporary blip? Will they beat France, qualify and go on to do well in the tournament? Is Donadoni the right man to get the best out of the team? Is this old Italian team finished as a major world force?
My opinion is that Italy need a total change of manager and playing staff. Don't get me wrong, I'd swap most of England's players for Italy's, but I think they need a major change if they are to maintain their position as one of the top teams.
Graham Fisher writes for Soccerlens and Soccer News.
I agree. The Italy team is definitely getting on a bit (although to be fair, they've has some shocking decisions go against them).
Can there be a article on who will be the top scorer with like how many goals?
Or who will be in the finals after group stages games have been played?
Manager: there's one here. Haven't done the one about top scorers and all that, my money's on Ronaldo / Villa.
how about a topic on the 08/09 fixtures?
yea, that one's coming up tomm.
If it would have a free kick anywhere else on the pitch then it has *got* to be a penalty. A penalty is a 'free kick' that just happens to be from twelve yards and the spot. There can be no real argument with it, and the claims from the Polish PM that he wanted to murder Howard Webb just shows how far behind the UK the majority of the world is in many respects; although I'm not sure that Ref. from Euro 2004 would agree with me. Not only should the Polish PM have better things to do with his time than commenting on a football tournament, but I am almost sure that if an eqv. event had happened with England and a eqv. remark would have been made then FIFA and or UEFA would have had something to do with it. This just further highlights the double standards that we put up with in regards to football politics. However, I do agree with you that this must be a coherant rule enforcement in every game at every level. Boris Johnson-esque tackling is not permitted, and shouldn't be, be it in the last minute of the EURO 2008 final or in the third minute of the mighty Wrexham against Northwich Vics or whichever other pap we will be playing in the Blue Square this coming season.
Italy: I am a fan of Italian football personally, but I find most of it increasingly mystifying. Donadoni is almost a McClaren with regards to his record, no European experience never mind success, and was so-so with Livorno in the past. He does look a bit like my pops though, so I have to give that to him. He doesn't seem to have much tactical awareness, although playing three defensivly minded midfielders will tend to cause a bit of a problem. As to the players; yes they are old, but I think that we have a nack of writing players off before they are even thirty, which in my opinion is a mistake. However, there is very little invention in the side, no real number ten, with the exception perhaps of A. Del Piero. Its all well and good to have Pirlo dictating play from the back whilst being minded by Rino Gattusso, but what was it the IRA said to Maggie T? You have to be lucky everyday? Apart from Pirlo (who I must say is a fantastic player) they seem to have no plan B; and in common with the tempo of the game in Italy traditionally there is very little to suggest that they could force a result; but I think it is a mindset rather than a manager or the players. EURO 2004 showed this insistence on defensive play to be very dangerous, and the World Cup showed that a more attacking approach could work; now I'm not sure where they Italians are, or even if they know.


Starting in 2015, I made a goal to actively read more. I approached this in two directions: traditional books1 and trekking through my Pocket queue. For those who aren't familiar with Pocket, it's an app that allows you to save online articles and videos for later consumption (even offline). Moreover, it has an amazing interface which makes reading web content feel comparable to an eBook.
One issue I have always faced with Pocket is the fact that deferring content to read later2 often meant that I never got to it or read it much later, when no longer relevant. In the past few weeks, I have been able to take my Pocket queue from well over 400 items to 100. Here are some techniques that might help in your quest to "Pocket Zero"!
Badge counts help me keep track of my queue totals (and the above technique). However, I always have to remind myself that this number shouldn't be discouraging. It's just a mile marker. For each decrement, I'm one item closer to my goal.
Every so often, I'll reverse the sort order of my queue to trim older or irrelevant items. No longer interested in the topic? Archive. Out of date? Archive. Broken URL? Archive.
Unfortunately, I get motion sick when reading in moving vehicles. So, I've often resorted to watching videos during commutes3. Another great time I've found for knocking out video content is during my cardio workouts (on stationary machines). It helps the time pass so quickly!
When the day is coming to an end and I haven't gotten any reading in, this feature is a lifesaver. As the name implies, it's a collection of the shortest items in your queue. Any progress is better than no progress.
Before going to bed each night, I've started to look back at my most recently archived items. Reviewing items helps with spaced repetition of their core ideas and better persists them into memory. Moreover, this fits snugly next to my habit of journaling.
You Don't Have to Read Everything in Your Queue. Life Goes On!
Hope these techniques help you get the most out of Pocket! Have any that you use personally? I'd love to hear about them!
1: My current preference for reading is with iBooks. This allows me to seamlessly transition across all of my devices (including bookmarks, notes, and hightlighting). I have given the Kindle app a try, but I preferred the visual aesthetics of iBooks over it.
3: Not driving of course!

Apple Logic Pro will get spatial audio mixing tools later this year
Apple has announced Spatial Audio mixing tools for Logic Pro · Source: Apple
Apple has announced that it will build spatial audio tools directly into Logic Pro. Following the roll-out of spatial audio to its Apple Music streaming service, the developer plans to add it to its flagship DAW, as well. This means that Logic Pro users will be able to create immersive audio content right in the box.
Apple Logic Pro to get built-in spatial audio tools
With the arrival of spatial audio at Apple's streaming service, immersive audio is bound to receive a major boost in popularity. As Apple Music's Zane Lowe puts it: "First there was mono, then stereo, and now there's Spatial Audio."
In addition to the many Dolby Atmos tracks already available on Apple Music, the service has created a playlist to showcase the new capabilities. It's filled with tracks ranging from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Marvin Gaye to Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. There's also a nice selection of classical music from the Boston Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, London Philharmonic and other renowned orchestras. As immersive technologies are already quickly taking over the gaming and movie industries, it doesn't take a crystal ball to imagine that the average music listener will get used to a 3D listening experience on their AirPods pretty quickly.
Click on the button below to load the contents of embed.music.apple.com.
But the vast majority of music is currently still released in stereo. To give you the tools you need to produce and release content that takes advantage of the new technologies, Apple has announced that it will build spatial audio mixing capabilities directly into Logic Pro. From some point later this year, Logic Pro users will be able to mix spatial audio projects in the box without additional tools. As of now, we don't know exactly what those tools will look like, but it's an exciting development nonetheless. As Zane Lowe puts it:
"Eventually there will be new artists who are born into Spatial, just like I was born in stereo. Artists in the future might never even think about making a stereo record — because all they've ever known is Spatial. And making Spatial music is only going to get better. Apple is building immersive music-authoring tools directly into Logic Pro later this year. So any musician will be able to create and mix their songs in Spatial Audio for Apple Music — whether they're in the studio, at home, or wherever."
While new technology is always fascinating, we'll have to wait and see if spatial audio will indeed become the new norm for music publishing. Other ideas like quadrophonic sound have ultimately failed to achieve widespread use. But they required consumers to buy and set up additional speakers and equipment. In this case, all that's needed is a pair of AirPods (or other headphones or speakers, for that matter). So we think that it's probably a good idea to familiarize yourself with the concept, and take advantage of the new mixing tools in Logic Pro when they come out.

Order of the Engineer
CEBOK
Early career engineers
Experienced engineers
New Faces of Civil Engineering
Peer Review for Public Agencies
Engineer's Charter
Ethics reporting and enforcement
A Question of Ethics
The Order of the Engineer was initiated in the United States to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering profession. The goal is to bridge the gap between training and experience, and to present to the public a visible symbol identifying the engineer. Participants take the Obligation of the Engineer and receive a steel ring to be worn as a reminder of their commitment to high ethics and professionalism.
Anyone who meets one of the following criteria may be inducted into the Order:
Graduate in engineering from an engineering program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc. (EAC of ABET) (Check to see if your school is included.)
Senior in EAC of ABET-accredited engineering program within one academic year of graduation
Professional Engineer licensed in the United States
Member of the Canadian Calling
Eligibility requirements are established by the Order of the Engineer organization, which governs the program.
ASCE is an official Link of the Order of the Engineer, which means it is allowed to conduct Ring Ceremonies at Society events and in conjunction with ASCE Sections and Branches. Contact Carolina Albornoz for details on how to conduct a ceremony for your ASCE event.


When Jesus was born, the first audience to receive the birth announcement was a group of sheep herders tending their flocks somewhere outside Bethlehem.
It is interesting that a group of shepherds received the first announcement of the birth of the One who would call Himself the Good Shepherd (John 10:11 and John 10:14).
Jesus knew and taught his disciples that his teaching would divide people. You see this in families where some are belivers and the others aren't. It's not that they fight all the time, but they just have significant differences in perspective about very important things. I've seen it in marriages where the husband is an unbeliever and the wife is a believer. It just makes things hard, but following Christ completely alters your perspective. The fact is, as you read your Bible, Jesus' teaching doesn't usually get people to all lock arms and sing sweet songs together. It usually starts riots. It got Jesus crucified. Jesus brought division. One day, he will bring true and lasting peace. But Scripture says that will happen after His second coming (which I plan to write more about on Christmas Day).


The World Bank would not provide direct funding to the LTTE and would continue its stance that all funding would be channeled through the Sri Lankan government, the Sunday Times reported this week. The Bank was responding to concerns raised by Sinhala nationalists, the paper said.
The Sunday Times said the "controversy" came after World Bank country director Peter Harrold this week visited the LTTE in the north and handed over a Tamil translation of the Country Assistance Strategy which covers projects to be introduced in the northern and eastern provinces, including LTTE-controlled areas.
Mr. Thamilchelvan had pointed out that the delay on the part of the government to resume negotiations on the basis of the interim self governing authority proposals was seriously viewed by the Tamil people who had been denied the dividends of peace, the report said.
The World Bank Colombo office will this week also be writing to the National Patriotic Movement, spelling out its position about the funding and clearing doubts of the World Bank allocating any funds to the LTTE, the Sunday Times said.
The NPM had written to Mr. Harrold that it was worried that the 2004 development plan including the continuation of the humanitarian aid was handed over by him to the LTTE political wing leader.

Man fires gun at home of GOP candidate's parents just feet away from his sleeping kids
North Carolina congressional candidate Pat Harrigan has since been forced to wear bulletproof vests to campaign events.

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (LifeSiteNews) – Amid a contentious battle over an open seat in North Carolina's 14th Congressional District, a gunshot was fired into a family residence where Republican candidate Pat Harrigan's young children lay sleeping.
The incident occurred at the GOP nominee's parent's home in Hickory on October 18, but has only recently come to light. No one was injured. So far, no arrests have been made and an FBI investigation remains ongoing.
Harrigan campaign manager Brandon Craft told The Carolina Journal that the shot entered the home only a few feet from where Harrigan's daughters, ages 3 and 5, were sleeping.
"It's just disconcerting, especially with the children there," the candidate's mother, Marla Harrigan, told the Associated Press. "This campaign is so stressful, and we feel so badly for our son because, you know, he's terribly stressed about his children … and now they're gone, they're not with their parents and it's just very, very disruptive."
Harrigan, a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran who currently runs a firearms manufacturing business, has since been forced to wear bulletproof vests to campaign events.
After the shooting, Harrigan's opponent, Democrat state Sen. Jeff Jackson, pulled a TV ad that Harrigan said "went too far" because it targeted his family's residence.
In an open letter addressed to Jackson, Harrigan wrote:
Family is stretched thin on campaigns – and you violated my family's security. I have already received a credible death threat. I wear a low-profile bulletproof vest to every single major public event. As I travel, wherever my family is located, they are significantly less safe with me in this race. And they are even less safe now that you've shown one of my homes to the world.
There are many questions that I have about you, your taxes, former home, current home, and your personal life. But I'm never going to film an ad in front of your home, violating the sanctity and security of your family- putting their lives at risk. It just doesn't seem like the 'honest and decent' thing to do. Quite frankly, it would be so dishonest and indecent that the thought has never crossed my mind.
Candidate Harrigan's open letter to opponent Jeff Jackson following the shooting incident
"My mission is a better economy, less inflation & safe streets," Harrigan said. "A bullet & death threats aren't enough to knock this Green Beret off that mission."
Reporting of the incident follows news of last week's horrific attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi. An intruder broke into the Pelosi's' San Francisco mansion in the middle of the night and assaulted the 82-year-old with a hammer, knocking him unconscious.

Q: Send response to 2 webhooks via CURL We have a form on a website that currently uses Zapier Webhook to catch and push the information from the submitted form to our CRM.
How can I add another webhook to this form so when the form is submitted it hits both the endpoints?
Adding another step in the Zapier chain is not an option here.

A: Don't depend on your form to synchronise requests, instead send the request to your API and have it process the subsequent requests to relevant APIs as required.
Let the form only capture and send the data to your API and let the API process the steps after, this way you reduce issues happening on client sides, you have more control processing the data yourself on the API.

A: Have you tried adding an onSubmit function in JS? https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/event_onsubmit.asp

01:56 What might a developer do to cause an exception?
02:30 What is the user's experience when an exception occurs?
04:32 Do exceptions mean developers aren't writing code well?
05:40 How can I become aware of the smaller errors that happen?
11:38 Why are logs bad?
12:49 If I can't sift through logs as a developer, how is Sentry able to sift through it?
13:51 What information do you need to fix an error?
15:52 How do we reproduce bugs?
17:44 Is it possible to use information from bugs to improve automated tests?
18:43 What are my next steps after being notified about an error?
20:19 What are the other side effects you might see from errors?
24:16 Why is it not possible for Sentry to catch bugs?
26:05 What can we do to minimize the chance of exceptions occurring?
28:16 Are there any common things people should test for around exceptions?
30:06 Why do you think people don't do automated testing?
34:21 Are there any best practices on how to handle error display?
36:40 How does Sentry use Sentry to monitor Sentry?
"A good example of a bug is maybe this page was supposed to be blue instead of red."
"An exception would be taking a one and dividing by zero, so the program would crash at that point."
"Users see bugs and those bugs may not result in an actual error, whereas an exception is a hard error."
"The main reason logs are bad is because I as a developer am never going to look at them."
"There's a ton of data and you don't really know what's important. Is that error affecting the most people?"
"You throw that input into a test, you put the expected output (the error), and you just go fix the code."
"How does it affect the bottom line? Either it's a monetary value or it's overall customer happiness."
"More often the errors you're seeing are machine to machine, so the customer would never even report those."
"Some software seems less buggy because they've been allowed to spend a lot of time focusing on tests."
"Sentry affords you the ability to take a little bit of risk because I'll know about problems right away."
"Try not to joke about things. Have a page to apologize and be clear that there was an error that happened."
"If the error's not in Sentry we probably don't know about it."

1. If by the terms of a charter party the entire vessel is let to the charterer with a transfer to him of its command and possession and consequent control over its navigation, be will generally be considered as owner for the voyage or service stipulated. But if the charter party let only the use of the vessel, the owner at the same time retaining its command and possession, and control over its navigation, the charterer is regarded as a mere contractor for a designated service, and the duties and responsibilities of the owner are not changed. In the first case the charter party is a contract for the lease of the vessel; in the other it is a contract for a special service to be rendered by the owner of the vessel.
2. Stipulations in a charter party that the general owners shall keep the vessel in good condition during the existence of the charter, and receive on board certain goods at the request of the government (the charterer) and refuse to receive other goods without its assent. Held to be conclusive evidence that the possession and control of the vessel had not passed to the charterer but had been retained by the general owner.
3. In a charter party by which a vessel was hired by the government for the purpose of plying in the harbor of Port Royal, in South Carolina, or for such other service as the government might designate, it was stipulated that in case the vessel, while executing the orders of the government, should be destroyed or damaged, or by being compelled by the government to run any extraordinary marine risk, the owner should be indemnified. In complying with the orders of the harbor master in Port Royal the vessel struck upon the fluke of a sunken anchor in the harbor, and was sunk; held that the risk which the vessel thus incurred was not an extraordinary marine risk within the meaning of the charter party, but an ordinary risk which every vessel runs that enters a harbor, and which every marine policy covers.
On the 19th of November, 1862, one Leary, owner of the steamer Mattano, chartered her to the United States, for the purpose of plying in the harbor of Port Royal, South Carolina, or for any other service the government might designate.
By the terms of the charter party, Leary engaged that the vessel during the existence of the charter, should be kept tight, stanch, well fitted, tackled, and provided with every requisite, and with men and provisions necessary; that the whole of it (with the exception of room necessary for the accommodation of the crew and the storage of cables and provisions) should be at the sole use and disposal of the
Page 81 U. S. 608
government during the existence of the charter, and that no goods or merchandise should be laden on board otherwise than from the government or its agent, on pain of forfeiture of the amount that may become due on the charter; that he, Leary, would receive on board the vessel during the charter all such goods and merchandise as the government might think proper to ship. The government, on its part, agreed to charter and hire the vessel at $250 a day for each day that it might be retained under the charter, the government to supply the coal, and that in case the vessel, while executing the orders of the government, should be destroyed or damaged by a hostile force from any quarter or by being compelled by the government to run any extraordinary marine risk, then Leary was to be indemnified, in case of loss the value of the vessel being fixed at $26,000,
"and in case of damage the amount to be assessed by a board of survey, to be convened on her after her arrival at Port Royal, South Carolina, or other friendly port at the expense of the government."
While under charter, the vessel was lying at one of the wharves in the harbor of Port Royal. On the 12th of May, 1863, the military harbor-master ordered her out to make room for another steamer. The captain of the Mattano objected to going out, as the tide was very low, and as he believed there was a considerable breeze from an unfavorable quarter. The harbor-master ordered the Mattano peremptorily to back out, and her captain let go his lines and did so. In thus backing out, she struck upon the fluke of a sunken anchor imbedded in the sand, and sank in fifteen minutes.
This anchor against whose fluke the vessel struck was a mooring anchor, and had been placed where it was by the United States quartermaster, to moor big ocean steamers prior to November, 1862, and had a buoy attached to it which showed its position; but about the 1st of January, 1863, the buoy had gone adrift in a gale of wind and had never been replaced, and there was nothing at the time of the accident to warn vessels of the position of the sunken
anchor. No one could have pointed out where the anchor was at that time. The captain of the Mattano knew of the existence of the anchor, but thought he was a long way outside of it. There was no unskillfulness in executing the order to back out.
The Mattano was removed from where she sank by a wrecking boat sent there by the Secretary of War, and under orders from the quartermaster, about July 4, 1863, and the cost of this service was paid by the United States. A gale of wind which came on after she sank did damage to her by carrying off her upper works, wheelhouse, and joiners' work clear to the hull. No board of survey was convened to assess the damage done to the vessel.
After the vessel had been raised by the United States, Leary took possession of her, carried her to New York, and there had her put in order in such a way as to leave her fit for a towing or carrying vessel, but not fitted for passengers. These repairs were completed on the 10th of December, 1863, and cost Leary for her restoration $18,265.25, and she was worth then $12,000 less than before the accident. From the time this occurred, 12th of May, 1863, until the time the repairs were completed, December 10, 1863, there were two hundred and fourteen days. The repairs were made as rapidly and as economically as possible. She was chartered again to the defendants in May, 1864, at $100 a day.
On this case, the Court of Claims decided that the disaster was a usual marine disaster, such as was covered by ordinary marine policies of insurance, and not such extraordinary marine risk as was contemplated in the charter party, and that if the owners neglected to protect themselves against such perils by insurance, they would have to bear the loss. The court accordingly dismissed the petition, and hence the appeal to this Court.
APPEAL FROM THE
MR. JUSTICE FIELD delivered the opinion of the Court.
There is no doubt that under some forms of a charter party, the charterer becomes the owner of the vessel chartered for the voyage or service stipulated, and consequently becomes subject to the duties and responsibilities of ownership. Whether in any particular case such result follows must depend upon the terms of the charter party, considered in connection with the nature of the service rendered. The question as to the character in which the charterer is to be treated is in all cases one of construction. If the charter party let the entire vessel to the charterer with a transfer to him of its command and possession and consequent control over its navigation, he will generally be considered as owner for the voyage or service stipulated. But, on the other hand, if the charter party let only the use of the vessel, the owner at the same time retaining its command and possession and control over its navigation, the charterer is regarded as a mere contractor for a designated service, and the duties and responsibilities of the owner are not changed. In the first case, the charter party is a contract for the lease of the vessel; in the other, it is a contract for a special service to be rendered by the owner of the vessel.
In examining the adjudged cases on this subject, we find some differences of opinion, especially in the earlier cases, as to the effect to be given to certain technical terms used
in the charter party in determining whether the instrument parts with the entire possession and control of the vessel, but no difference as to the rule of law applicable when the construction is settled. All the cases agree that entire command and possession of the vessel, and consequent control over its navigation, must be surrendered to the charterer before he can be held as special owner for the voyage or other service mentioned. The retention by the general owner of such command, possession, and control is incompatible with the existence at the same time of such special ownership in the charterer. [Footnote 1]
If now, in the light of these observations we look at the charter party in this case we shall find little difficulty in disposing of the first ground for reversal presented by the appellants. The vessel here was chartered for the purpose of plying in the harbor of Port Royal, in South Carolina, or for such other service as the government might designate, and the provisions which the charter party contains on the part of the owners sound only in covenant. By it they engage that during the existence of the charter the vessel shall be kept tight, stanch, well fitted, tackled, and provided with every requisite, and with the necessary men and provisions; that the whole of the vessel, with the exception of the necessary room for the accommodation of the crew and the storage for the cables and provisions, shall be at the sole use and disposal of the government; that no goods or merchandise shall be laden on board otherwise than from the government, or with the assent of its agent, on pain of forfeiture of the amount that may become due on the charter; and that the owners will receive on board all lawful goods and merchandise which the government may think proper to ship. In consideration of these stipulations, the United States agree that the owners shall receive the sum of two
hundred and fifty dollars per day for each day the vessel is retained under the charter, and that they will supply the vessel with coal; and in case the vessel, whilst executing the orders of the government, shall be destroyed or damaged by a hostile force, or by being compelled to run any extraordinary marine risk, that the owners shall be indemnified.
The stipulations here designated on the part of the owners imply the possession and command of the vessel by them, and would be inconsistent with such possession and command by the government.
Stipulations that the general owners shall keep the vessel in good condition during the existence of the charter and receive on board certain goods at the request of the government and refuse to receive other goods without its assent, would be out of place and inappropriate if the government were, at the same time, special owners of the vessel for the service stipulated, having the vessel in its entire possession and control. Great weight was given to similar clauses by the King's Bench, in Saville v. Campion, [Footnote 2] and by the Supreme Court of New York, in Clarkson v. Edes. [Footnote 3] In each of these cases, they were held conclusive that the possession and control of the vessel had not passed to the charter, but had been retained by the general owner.
The fact that the service stipulated in the present case was to be rendered for the government cannot alter the natural import of the terms used in the charter party, or change its construction, although in a doubtful case that fact might be entitled to much consideration.
2. The second ground presented by the appellants for a reversal of the decree is readily answered. The risk that the vessel incurred in complying with the orders of the harbor-master was not an extraordinary marine risk within the meaning of the charter party. The term extraordinary is there used to distinguish an unusual risk which the vessel might be compelled to run by order of the government, from those risks which would be covered by an ordinary
marine policy and which might be expected to arise from the service in which the vessel was engaged. The contract of the government was not intended to apply to the usual risks attendant upon the performance of a service such as was here mentioned, but risks outside and beyond them.
The risk incurred was of a possible collision with a sunken anchor in the harbor. This was an ordinary risk which every vessel must run that enters a harbor, and is one which every marine policy covers.
