Well my L60 Samsung digital camera is 'missing'. It has been about a week now and I have checked the only 2 places I keep it, my cabin and the office. So I am not optimistic about it re-appearing anymore.
I checked with 'lost & found', reception, and various other places...so I am now tempted to move it in the category of possibly stolen. SIGH
If you are on the ship and reading this, let me know if you find one that looks like this with a possible black foam type case.
Subtitle ~ ...and loose chronological order of logo and missions statement
Mercy Ships first known web presence (web site) made its debut 'back in the day' in (that I can dig up online) is September 1996. See for yourself! Mercy Ships - Wayback Time Machine 1996
Here is a 'LOOSE' chronological order (meaning it may skip or miss a few things) of Logo (plus header/banner) and Mission statements:
1996 - Mercy Ships is a non-profit Christian humanitarian organization committed to a three-fold purpose of mercy and relief, training, and ministry. Mercy Ships has served the poor in over 70 port cities by providing medical care, assisting through development projects, and fulfilling basic daily needs in order to demonstrate the message of hope through Jesus Christ.
2000 - Mercy Ships utilizes ocean-going vessels to bring physical and spiritual healing to the poor and needy in port cities around the world. The ministry encourages societal change by following Christ's example,
mobilizing volunteers to serve others through medical care, relief,
community and church development, proclamation, and training.
2003 - Mercy Ships, a global charity, has operated a growing fleet of hospital ships in developing nations since 1978. Following the example of
Jesus, Mercy Ships brings hope and healing to the poor, mobilizing people and resources worldwide.
And now, can we have the drum roll please...(pause)...for the new Mercy Ships logo!
Some things to notice about the logo: The ship is more defined than before with a medical cross on the side & a Christian Cross serving as the ship's antenna. A globe is transmitted from the antenna (or Cross) and envelopes our ship and the 'usual' Mercy Ships text has been brought in line to be more vertical or up-and-down and the tag line is still “Bringing Hope and Healing”. The Colors of the logo are now a deeper blue and more contemporary vivid green. (this is a paraphrase by me of the actual attributes of the logo being described).
I am not so sure how keen I am on it yet, but hey...I will wait and see if it grows on me. What do you think?

The baker comes back in Sunday night and I told him before he left that he doesn't have to come in to work till Tuesday so he would have Monday to rest so I may get to bake a little more on Monday BUT...
In my two weeks of being able to cover that 'baking' side of things I managed to bake quite a lot while also getting my other responsibilities done as the galley manager. I still took weekends off because I had baked enough bread to carry me through Saturday & Sunday. I enjoyed myself.
In the last 2 weeks in bakery:
Back to cracking the whip next week and maybe working on some new recipes for the menu. It was a good time to renew in my mind the possibilities of what can and could be done in the bakery...maybe in the future I can get around to a few things I was thinking of but didn't have time for such as: coffee cake, muffins, breakfast breads, garlic cheese biscuits, breakfast biscuits, etc. Just to name a few things I was considering.
For this bread you want to actually add the jalapeno's into the flour/dough...but add the cheese later when tri-folding and rolling the loaves of bread up. Kind of like when I talked about making the cinnamon rolls except with cheddar, not a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
In this one, we see the bits of Jalapeno...
Ingredients ~ the rolling pin is just for looks, I just smashed this one out with my hands as well, notice no flour everywhere...I like to work 'clean'. Cornmeal in the bowl is to lay down on trays so loaves do not stick as bad. Usually, they never stick especially with well-seasoned trays, but some of that cheese melting out of the bread makes a difference.
They 'sprang' a little more than I expected from the oven so I have MONSTER BREAD but you know nobody was complaining.
See that cheddar and Jalapeno goodness oozing at you...
The cheddar is trying for an escape...
Yeah, I had a good time and got carried away...but they didn't leave any leftovers.
Just a good ole rolled ugly home loaf with easy ingredients: cheddar, jalapeno, flour, salt, sugar, yeast, water. Yep, that's it.
