The Steamship William G. Mather Poster
The William G. Mather is a retired Great Lakes bulk freighter. It was built in Detroit by the Great Lakes Engineering Works, River Rouge, Michigan in 1925 as the flagship for the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company. The Mather remained the Cliff's flagship until the Edward B. Green (now the Kaye E. Barker of the Interlake Steamship Company fleet) was built in 1952. It remained an active part of the Cliffs's fleet until the end of the 1980 navigation season. In 1985, Cleveland-Cliffs sold its two remaining operating steamers to Rouge Steel Company, and gradually sold off its idle vessels until only the Mather remained. In December, 1987, the Steamship William G Mather was donated to The Great Lakes Historical Society. The Society began preparations for the Mather's new career as a museum ship. After it was brought to Cleveland in October of 1988 and funding acquired from local foundations, corporations, and individuals, restoration began. In October 1990, it was moved to the East Ninth Street Pier on Cleveland's North Coast Harbor, and work continued. On September 24, 2005 the Mather was moved to a new location just north of the Great Lakes Science Center at Dock 32. Fire damage to the Mather's galley and after cabin spaces required a major restoration effort. All over the vessel, most of the elbow grease was supplied by volunteers who repaired, cleaned, chipped, painted, and polished brass in order to restore the Mather's former elegance. On July 30, 1995 the Steamship William G Mather was dedicated as an American Society of Mechanical Engineers National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark for its 1954 installation of a single marine boiler and steam turbine engine, and its 1964 installation of the Bailey 760 Boiler Control System and American Shipbuilding AmThrust dual propeller bow thruster - both firsts for U.S.-Flag Great Lakes vessels.

I Love the Church, Pt 1 | Cliff Edwards
Toward the end of my series of posts on righteousness, I recognized that I still held some righteousness and judgment about belief and the church. Regardless of the amount of line I’ve done around it so far, I at bottom wasn’t surprised to find that I still have more ‘makings’. So I asked my spouse to example me through a smidgin coaching prepare to see what I needed to do to take another gradation in releasing, clement and making stillness. One part of the responsible that from my inner prudence, was to blog a series on why I paramour the Church. This made complete intuit in terms of comrade vocation, as one of the antidotes to right and judgment is acceptance and taste. So it begins below, starting with my boyhood.
I think back on as a minor boy of about four, I old to mate effective to church. My parents faithfully took my sisters and me there three times per week. They groaning us all into the car and drove about a mile and a half to church twice on Sunday, and every Wednesday evening. I didn’t exceptionally arrange everything, I didn’t control the probingly of the messages and rituals, but I do retract that there was something about it all that made me see conservative and safeguard somehow.

The Tokyo-based company, whose readers smell behind the Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook, plans to continue its push to sell dedicated digital readers because they are cheaper than tablets, Lubell said.
"Sony appears to be struggling to extend its e-reader business as fast as it had originally planned," said Nobuo Kurahashi, an analyst at Mizuho Monetary Group in Tokyo.
The number of Americans who own an electronic reader such as Kindle doubled in the six months to May as college graduates and adults in the highest profits category choose the devices over tablet computers, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center.
