Libraries are extremely organized places. Everything has its place, thanks the the Dewey Decimal System. Even better the days of looking through the card catalogs are over since its all computerized.
Organization has been on my mind a lot lately. It has been three years since I purchased my Canon Rebel XSi, signifying the point in time in which photography became a real hobby of mine. Since then I have taken countless photos, with some 1,300 posted on Flickr. More recently I have begun to shoot film and have slowed uploading pace, in an attempt of building a more structured approach.
That being said I am still unsure of the best way to go about organizing all my photos on Flickr. For awhile I thought about going through and deleting the ones I no longer liked, but decided against it. The photos as a whole represent my path, a timeline of my advancement.
Yet as my sense of photography continues to evolve I want to try to reflect that better in the way I organize my photos. Instead of shooting with one primary camera, I work with five now. Right now I have sets mostly derived based on the location of the photograph coupled with overall sets for individual film cameras. I am not looking to reinvent the Dewey Decimal System, just simplify things. Something I continue to ponder as my photography grows.

RF-84F Thunderflash used in Norway 1956-1970
US.Air Force Serial number: 52-8723
Construction Number: unknown
Royal Norwegian Air Force reg. nr: AZ-X
Sandefjord,stored, tail from C-649 ex RDAF,53-7649
Reconnaissance version of the F-84F, 715 built.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Engine air intake ducts were located in the wing roots of the RF-84F rather than in the nose section. The elongated and enclosed nose contained 15 cameras: six standard forward-facing, one TriMetrogen horizon-to-horizon, and eight in oblique and vertical positions for target close-ups. The RF-84F featured many firsts: the Tri-Metrogen camera, a computerized control system based on light, speed, and altitude, it adjusted camera settings to produce pictures with greater delineation and a vertical view finder with a periscopic presentation on the cockpit panel to enhance visual reconnaissance. Talking into a wire recorder, the pilot could describe ground movements that might not appear in still pictures.
Production of the RF-84F was linked to that of the F-84F. In both cases, the Korean War prompted the decision. The Tactical Air Command had to withdraw tactical aircraft from storage and modify active F-80s to meet the war's reconnaissance requirements. The RF-80 actually became the Air Force's recon workhorse in Korea, but thin plane could not fly at low altitude long enough to perform suitable visual reconnaissance. Nonetheless, the first RF-84F order was not formalized until 12 June 1961--2 weeks after satisfactory inspection of the mock-up and 6 months past official endorsement~of the RF-84F full-scale production. The initial RF-84F contract only called for, two prototypes (later reduced to one), but the Air Force was already convinced the new aircraft would be the best in terms of endurance, speed, and sensors. The RF-84F would also be able to fly night missions by using magnesium flares carried under its wings in flash-ejector cartridges. Hence, the first 130 RF-84Fs were ordered before the new fiscal year (July 1961).
Before this flight, an F-84F prototype had already tested the RF-84F'a new air intake configuration. The test disclosed no serious impairment of overall aircraft performance.
Almost 1 year after delivery of the first F-84F. The Air Force accepted a second RF-84F in September.
Being almost identical to the F-84F, the RF-84F did not escape some of its predecessor's problems. Republic's shortage of forgings prevented further deliveries of the RF-84Fs until January 194. In April, after only 24 of the reconnaissance aircraft (counting the 2 released in 1963) had been accepted, engine troubles brought another delay. Eighteen months passed before RF-84F deliveries finally resumed in November 1966.

A Tripartite Agreement was signed Jan. 17 at the Ilocos Norte Capitol for the funding of the Revenue Generation and Land Administration Reforms (REGALA) Project. The Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction, thru the Asian Development Bank (ADB), will give a grant to the Provincial Government Ilocos Norte (PGIN) for the implementation of the REGALA Project thus allowing the acquisition of computer equipment and training of personnel. The project will computerize all land information, transactions regarding real properties, and speed up inter-agency collaboration. The result of which is an increase in revenue collection by up to 50% which will result to poverty reduction. In Ilocos Norte, the initial REGALA Project sites are the municipalities of San Nicolas and Piddig.
Among the signatories of the Tripartite Grant Agreement are: Gov. Imee Marcos; Mr. Ian David Lloyd, REGALA Project Director; Atty. Salvador Del Castillo, OIC-Executive Director of Department of Finance - Bureau of Local Government Finance; Mayor Alfredo Valdez, Jr., Municipality of San Nicolas; and Mayor Eddie Guillen, Municipality of Piddig. Other agencies involved in the project are the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Land Registration Authority and the Department of Agrarian Reform. The PGIN is the first among other provincial government units in the country to be selected for the implementation of the REGALA Project.

North American RA-5C 'Vigilante' (Bu No 156625) at NAS North Island, California, while assigned to Reconnaissance Attack Squadron (RVAH) 7 during 1977-edited-Not part of my personal collection
un-edited-Not part of my personal collection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North American A-5 Vigilante is an American carrier-based supersonic bomber designed and built by North American Aviation for the United States Navy. It set several world records including long distance speed and altitude records. Its service in the nuclear strike role to replace the Douglas A-3 Skywarrior was very short; however, as the RA-5C, it saw extensive service during the Vietnam War in the tactical strike reconnaissance role. Prior to the unification of the Navy designation sequence with the Air Force sequence in 1962, it was designated the A3J Vigilante.
Design and development
In 1953, North American Aviation began a private study for a carrier-based, long-range, all-weather strike bomber, capable of delivering nuclear weapons at supersonic speeds. This proposal, the North American General Purpose Attack Weapon (NAGPAW) concept, was accepted by the United States Navy, with some revisions, in 1955. A contract was awarded on 29 August 1956. Its first flight occurred two years later on 31 August 1958 in Columbus, Ohio.
At the time of its introduction, the Vigilante was one of the largest and by far the most complex aircraft to operate from a United States Navy aircraft carrier. It had a high-mounted swept wing with a boundary-layer control system (blown flaps) to improve low-speed lift. There were no ailerons. Roll control was provided by spoilers in conjunction with differential deflection of the all-moving tail surfaces. The use of aluminum-lithium alloy for wing skins and titanium for critical structures was also unusual. The A-5 had two widely spaced General Electric J79 turbojet engines (the same as used on the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter), fed by intake ramps and a single large all-moving vertical stabilizer. Preliminary design studies had employed twin vertical fin/rudders. The wings, vertical stabilizer and the nose radome folded for carrier stowage. The Vigilante had a crew of two seated in tandem, a pilot and a bombardier-navigator (BN) (reconnaissance/attack navigator (RAN) on later reconnaissance versions) seated on individual North American HS-1A ejection seats.
Despite being designated by the US Navy as a "heavy", the A-5 was surprisingly agile; without the drag of bombs or missiles, even escorting fighters found that the clean airframe and powerful engines made the Vigilante very fast at high and low altitudes. However, its high approach speed and high angle of attack in the landing configuration made returning to the aircraft carrier a challenge for inexperienced or unwary pilots.
The Vigilante had advanced and complex electronics when it first entered service. It had one of the first "fly-by-wire" systems on an operational aircraft (with mechanical/hydraulic backup) and a computerized AN/ASB-12 nav/attack system incorporating a head-up display ("Pilot's Projected Display Indicator" (PPDI), one of the first), multi-mode radar, radar-equipped inertial navigation system (REINS, based on technologies developed for North American's Navaho missile), closed-circuit television camera under the nose, and an early digital computer known as "Versatile Digital Analyzer" (VERDAN) to run it all.
Given its original design as a carrier-based, supersonic, nuclear heavy attack aircraft, the Vigilante's main armament was carried in a novel "linear bomb bay" between the engines in the rear fuselage, which provided for positive separation of the bomb from the aircraft at supersonic speeds. The single nuclear weapon, commonly the Mk 28 bomb, was attached to two disposable fuel tanks in the cylindrical bay in an assembly known as the "stores train". A set of extendable fins was attached to the aft end of the most rearward fuel tank. These fuel tanks were to be emptied during the flight to the target and then jettisoned with the bomb by an explosive drogue gun. The stores train was propelled rearward at about 50 feet per second (30 knots) relative to the aircraft. It thereafter followed a typical ballistic path.
In practice, the system was not reliable and no live weapons were ever carried in the linear bomb bay. In the RA-5C configuration, the bay was used solely for fuel. On three occasions, the shock of the catapult launch caused the fuel cans to eject onto the deck; this resulted in one aircraft loss.
The Vigilante originally had two wing pylons, intended primarily for drop tanks. The second Vigilante variant, the A3J-2 (A-5B), incorporated internal tanks for an additional 460 gallons of fuel (which added a pronounced dorsal "hump") along with two additional wing hardpoints, for a total of four. In practice the hardpoints were rarely used. Other improvements included blown flaps on the leading edge of the wing and sturdier landing gear.
The reconnaissance version of the Vigilante, the RA-5C, had slightly greater wing area and added a long canoe-shaped fairing under the fuselage for a multi-sensor reconnaissance pack. This added an APD-7 side-looking airborne radar (SLAR), AAS-21 infrared line scanner, and camera packs, as well as improved ECM. An AN/ALQ-61 electronic intelligence system could also be carried. The RA-5C retained the AN/ASB-12 bombing system, and could, in theory, carry weapons, although it never did in service. Later-build RA-5Cs had more powerful J79-10 engines with afterburning thrust of 17,900 lbf (80 kN). The reconnaissance Vigilante weighed almost five tons more than the strike version with almost the same thrust and an only modestly enlarged wing. These changes cost it acceleration and climb rate, though it remained fast in level flight.
The Royal Australian Air Force considered the RA-5C Vigilante as a replacement for its English Electric Canberra. The McDonnell F-4C/RF-4C, Dassault Mirage IVA, and the similar BAC TSR-2 was also considered. However, the TFX (later the F-111C Aardvark) was accepted.

Ad from the January 1933 International Advertising art publication. It was all letterpress and the typography was superb.
Futura requires professional type composition. That's one of the problems with using it. Kerning, leading, point size, it all has to be done correctly, or Futura simply doesn't work. Those skills have mostly been lost in the computerization of graphic design today.
While riding Space Mountain, I kept hearing a computerized voice saying "Zone 13, rerouting. Zone 12, rerouting. Zone 11, etc..." Then we suddenly came to a stop at some trim breaks.
A few moments passed, the music stopped, then the lights came on. A few moments after that, a group of 5 team members came rushing up the steps and said "Hang on, you're about to do something most people don't get to do!" I assumed we were going to be walked off but they ended up pushing us down the track like it was a bobsled!
We were at nice gentle coast all the way to the loading area, where, they relocked our safety latches, and sent us off again.
La mujer del centro aparentemente tiene huipil computarizado. Es un gran problema en Guatemala que amenaza la existencia de la tradición maya Milena de tejer a mano pues se vende barato, y las que tejen a mano no pueden competir con esos precios tan bajos. La otra tiene huipil del pueblo tejido y bordado a mano. Antes decoraban los huipiles con brocado (1970s) pero casi ya no, se prefiere el bordado aquí.
Mujeres sonrientes compran y venden en el mercado que es administrado por mujeres. La descripción de la ropa es como la de la foto anterior, tejida a mano, su huipil y rebozo en Telar de cintura y su corte en telar de pie.
Market women buying and selling. See previous picture for description of 100% hand woven clothing. The woman in the center apparently has a computerized huipil, a big problem in Guatemala which threatens the existence of the millennial tradition of Maya weaving. It is sold cheaply, produced in minutes, and the Maya weavers cannot compete with the cheap prices. Please don;’t buy ropa computarizada. Check carefully to see that textiles in Guatemala are hand woven.

Sailing - Common Swift in the sky! 2008 © All rights reserved. - PC-graphic .
Mursejler, Common Swift (Apus apus), (Apodiformes), (Apodidae)
The bird genus Apus comprise some of the Old World members of the family Apodidae, commonly known as swifts.
They are among the fastest birds in the world. Common Swifts are 16-17 cm long with a wingspan of 38-44cm, weight 35-56 grams, and entirely blackish-brown except for a small white or pale grey patch on their chins which is not visible from a distance. They have a short forked tail and very long swept-back wings that resemble a crescent or a boomerang.
They resemble swallows, to which they are not related, but have shorter tails and sickle-shaped wings. Swifts spend most of their life aloft, have very short legs and use them mostly to cling to surfaces.
------------------
Like flying anchors, these symbols of high summer have greater mastery of the air than any other bird. Swifts drink, bathe, preen, collect food and nesting material all without alighting. The night is spent on the wing and they are the only bird known to mate on the wing.

Mursejleren lever i flokke, og de flyver skrigende over byens tage.
Mursejleren er noget større end en svale. Den flyver højt på himlen og er svær at sætte størrelse på. Kroppen måler 17-18 cm, og mursejleren er altså lidt mindre end en stær. Men vingefanget er helt oppe på 40-44 cm.
Fjerdragten er helt gråsort. På panden har den hvidligt skællede fjer og struben er helt hvid.
Mursejleren er bygget til lufthavet med lange, smalle vinger, torpedoformet krop og kort hale. Den lever af flyvende smådyr i de øverste luftlag – mest insekter, men også små edderkopper, som flyver efter en lang tråd.
Mursejlerne kommer til Danmark midt i maj, og de trækker bort igen i august-september. De overvintrer i det sydlige Afrika.
Der er flest mursejlere i byområderne på Øerne og langs den østlige side af Jylland. I hele det sandede Midt- og Vestjylland er den fåtallig. Bestanden er anslået til 100.000 ynglepar.
Mursejleren er udbredt i hele Skandinavien, bortset fra det nordvestligste Norge. Den er vidt udbredt i hele Europa, Nordafrika, Mellemøsten og Asien.

Judge of Election, (for my ward) .
{
Here, as i recall, there was no listed candidate, just an opportunity to write-in . In my mind, at the time, i assigned more influence to this post than it seems to have ; and in this light i found the empty race intriguing. So i offered my services...
}
MICHAEL CHARLES YOUNG
{
... but did not win .
}
Please see also : Wikipedia on Election Judge . I am still somewhat puzzled why i was invited to vote for both an election judge and an election inspector at such a local level, but okay .
.
I list these votes, in a large part, because i believe that by the public's publishing our ballots, (as best we can recall them), we can provide a valuable check on the faithfulness of official United States, (and other), election returns .

The Suzuki SV650 is a 2-cyclinder naked streetbike. Because it's so new (2018, to me). It's a very computerized beast. Fuel injected and controlled by a computer, ABS braking (good!), stiff but solid suspension. This is a nice bike to throw around, because it's so nimble.
Update May 2020: I've now driven a Zero S (12,5Kwh) and it was more comfortable in the seat and it's suspension. Even more nimble than this bike. It's lighter too, which might help.
A 36 row planter. A large part of the Pitstick Farm operation. Shown in the retracted position. The feeders will be lowered to the soil and seed distribution controlled automatically by the computerized electronics in the tractor. The large yellow hoppers send seed to the mini-hoppers for each row pneumatically.

Sagrada Família or Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Catalan) or Basílica de la Sagrada Familia (Spanish) or Basilica of the Holy Family, is a large still largely unfinished church building in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), his work on Sagrada Família is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On 7 November 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a minor basilica. On 19 March 1882, construction of the Sagrada Família began under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. In 1883, when Villar resigned, Gaudí took over as chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted the remainder of his life to the project, and he is buried in the crypt. At the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete. Relying solely on private donations, the Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. In July 1936, revolutionaries set fire to the crypt and broke their way into the workshop, partially destroying Gaudí's original plans, drawings and plaster models, which led to 16 years of work to piece together the fragments of the master model. Construction resumed to intermittent progress in the 1950s. Advancements in technologies such as computer aided design and computerized numerical control (CNC) have since enabled faster progress and construction passed the midpoint in 2010. However, some of the project's greatest challenges remain, including the construction of ten more spires, each symbolizing an important Biblical figure in the New Testament. It was anticipated that the building would be completed by 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death, but this has now been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The basilica has a long history of splitting opinion among the residents of Barcelona: over the initial possibility it might compete with Barcelona's Cathedral, over Gaudí's design itself, over the possibility that work after Gaudí's death disregarded his design, and the 2007 proposal to build a tunnel nearby as part of Spain's high-speed rail link to France, possibly disturbing its stability. Describing the Sagrada Família, art critic Rainer Zerbst said "it is probably impossible to find a church building anything like it in the entire history of art", and Paul Goldberger describes it as "the most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages". The basilica is not the cathedral church of the Archdiocese of Barcelona, as that title belongs to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia (Barcelona Cathedral). The Basílica de la Sagrada Família was the inspiration of a bookseller, Josep Maria Bocabella, founder of Asociación Espiritual de Devotos de San José (Spiritual Association of Devotees of St. Joseph). After a visit to the Vatican in 1872, Bocabella returned from Italy with the intention of building a church inspired by the basilica at Loreto. The apse crypt of the church, funded by donations, was begun 19 March 1882, on the festival of St. Joseph, to the design of the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar, whose plan was for a Gothic revival church of a standard form. The apse crypt was completed before Villar's resignation on 18 March 1883, when Antoni Gaudí assumed responsibility for its design, which he changed radically. Gaudi began work on the church in 1883 but was not appointed Architect Director until 1884. On the subject of the extremely long construction period, Gaudí is said to have remarked: "My client is not in a hurry." When Gaudí died in 1926, the basilica was between 15 and 25 percent complete. After Gaudí's death, work continued under the direction of his main disciple Domènec Sugrañes i Gras until interrupted by the Spanish Civil War in 1936. Parts of the unfinished basilica and Gaudí's models and workshop were destroyed during the war by Catalan anarchists. The present design is based on reconstructed versions of the plans that were burned in a fire as well as on modern adaptations. Since 1940, the architects Francesc Quintana, Isidre Puig Boada, Lluís Bonet i Gari and Francesc Cardoner have carried on the work. The illumination was designed by Carles Buïgas. The director until 2012 was the son of Lluís Bonet, Jordi Bonet i Armengol. He has been introducing computers into the design and construction process since the 1980s. In 2012, Barcelona-born Jordi Faulí i Oller took over as architect of the project. Mark Burry of New Zealand serves as Executive Architect and Researcher. Sculptures by J. Busquets, Etsuro Sotoo and the controversial Josep Maria Subirachs decorate the fantastical façades. The central nave vaulting was completed in 2000 and the main tasks since then have been the construction of the transept vaults and apse. As of 2006, work concentrated on the crossing and supporting structure for the main steeple of Jesus Christ as well as the southern enclosure of the central nave, which will become the Glory façade. The church shares its site with the Sagrada Família Schools building, a school originally designed by Gaudí in 1909 for the children of the construction workers. Relocated in 2002 from the eastern corner of the site to the southern corner, the building now houses an exhibition. Chief architect Jordi Faulí announced in October 2015 that construction was 70 percent complete and had entered its final phase of raising six immense steeples. The steeples and most of the church's structure are to be completed by 2026, the centennial of Gaudí's death; as of a 2017 estimate, decorative elements should be complete by 2030 or 2032. Visitor entrance fees of €15 to €20 finance the annual construction budget of €25 million. Computer-aided design technology has been used to accelerate construction of the building. Current technology allows stone to be shaped off-site by a CNC milling machine, whereas in the 20th century the stone was carved by hand. In 2008, some renowned Catalan architects advocated halting construction to respect Gaudí's original designs, which, although they were not exhaustive and were partially destroyed, have been partially reconstructed in recent years. In 2018, the stone type needed for the construction was found in a quarry in Brinscall, near Chorley, England. The main nave was covered and an organ installed in mid-2010, allowing the still-unfinished building to be used for liturgies. The church was consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI on 7 November 2010 in front of a congregation of 6,500 people. A further 50,000 people followed the consecration Mass from outside the basilica, where more than 100 bishops and 300 priests were on hand to distribute Holy Communion. Gaudí's original design calls for a total of eighteen spires, representing in ascending order of height the Twelve Apostles, the Virgin Mary, the four Evangelists and, tallest of all, Jesus Christ. Nine spires have been built as of 2021, corresponding to four apostles at the Nativity façade and four apostles at the Passion façade and the Virgin Mary spire. According to the 2005 "Works Report" of the project's official website, drawings signed by Gaudí and recently found in the Municipal Archives, indicate that the spire of the Virgin was in fact intended by Gaudí to be shorter than those of the evangelists. The spire height will follow Gaudí's intention, which according to the report will work with the existing foundation. The Evangelists' spires will be surmounted by sculptures of their traditional symbols: a winged bull (Saint Luke), a winged man (Saint Matthew), an eagle (Saint John), and a winged lion (Saint Mark). The central spire of Jesus Christ is to be surmounted by a giant cross; its total height (172.5 meters (566 ft)) will be less than that of Montjuïc hill in Barcelona, as Gaudí believed that his creation should not surpass God's. The lower spires are surmounted by communion hosts with sheaves of wheat and chalices with bunches of grapes, representing the Eucharist. Plans call for tubular bells to be placed within the spires, driven by the force of the wind, and driving sound down into the interior of the church. Gaudí performed acoustic studies to achieve the appropriate acoustic results inside the temple. However, only one bell is currently in place.
The completion of the spires will make Sagrada Família the tallest church building in the world—11 meters taller than the current record-holder, Ulm Minster, which is 161.5 meters (530 ft) at its highest point. The Church will have three grand façades: the Nativity façade to the East, the Passion façade to the West, and the Glory façade to the South (yet to be completed). The Nativity Façade was built before work was interrupted in 1935 and bears the most direct Gaudí influence. In 2010 an organ was installed in the chancel by the Blancafort Orgueners de Montserrat organ builders. The instrument has 26 stops (1,492 pipes) on two manuals and a pedalboard. To overcome the unique acoustical challenges posed by the church's architecture and vast size, several additional organs will be installed at various points within the building. These instruments will be playable separately (from their own individual consoles) and simultaneously (from a single mobile console), yielding an organ of some 8,000 pipes when completed. Together with six other Gaudí buildings in Barcelona, part of la Sagrada Família is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as testifying "to Gaudí's exceptional creative contribution to the development of architecture and building technology", "having represented el Modernisme of Catalonia" and "anticipated and influenced many of the forms and techniques that were relevant to the development of modern construction in the 20th century". The inscription only includes the Crypt and the Nativity Façade.

My Singer Superb computerized sewing machine. Prior to getting this 3 years ago I sewed on the Kenmore I bought way back in 1974. This was my 1st modern sewing machine and it brought a new level of joy and creativity into my life long love of sewing. This is a wonderful sewing machine and came with an extension table and lots of presser feet and accessories. The only problem is the light is too dim so I bought the Bendable Bright Light. I did not use the plastic disks that come with the light for attaching it. Instead I use stick on velcro. Works much better. I also made a scrap bag out of vinyl. It runs under the machine and is stuck on with velcro. Under the right front of the machine (right where the scrap bag goes under the machine) are 3 pull out cards of all the stitches the Superb has. Each stitch has a number to access it. It's great--no scrolling to find the stitch you want!

The Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman had its grand opening on January 6, 2006. Tony Bennet and Sheryl Crow provided the entertainment. Prominent at the ribbon cutting, holding scissors and standing side by side, were Mike Ryan the brash young Canadian born developer and Alfred Schwan. Who is Alfred Schwan? Schwan was a director for the Marvin M. Schwan Charitable Foundation and Marvin's brother. In 1992, Marvin M. Schwan created the charitable trust foundation, funded with nearly $1 billion, to benefit organizations associated with the Lutheran Church. At the time of his death, he lived in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and was one of the wealthiest men in America. Forbes magazine rated Marvin M. Schwan the 70th richest American in 1992.
Privately owned Schwan’s, based in Marshal, Minnesota, is a sizable producer, wholesaler, and retailer of food products employing about 16,500 people. It operates an estimated 2,300 computerized vans that deliver frozen food, including meat, vegetables and juices, to customers’ homes. The yellow vehicles, bearing a swan logo, have been described as traveling 7-Elevens. Schwan also expanded into the nation’s leading supplier of frozen pizza to school cafeterias and grocery stores under the Tony’s, Better Baked and Red Baron brands. Marvin Schwan died suddenly in 1993 at the age of 64. Alfred P. Schwan died in 2011 age 86.
Developer of the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman, Michael Ryan, formed a company IRR Limited that was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April, 21 1998, to develop the project. According to a 2009 US tax return The Marvin M. Schwan Charitable Foundation loaned IRR Limited $210,828,153 with an owing balance of $202,218,186. The tax return says that IRR Limited were not in default as of 2009.
Critics question how Mike Ryan was able to pull off getting The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman built. Ryan claims he was just a young, 31-year-old guy “trying to make something happen”. He got a call from the regional head of development for the Ritz-Carlton. “He… said ‘we want to be in Cayman and we can’t make it work. Would you come and put a project together and we’ll give you the brand and we’ll invest money’. That’s how it started, in 1997,” he says.
Ryan's idea was to create the best Ritz-Carlton in the world. He got Greg Norman to design Blue Tip (nine hole) golf course and La Prairie to establish a spa at The Ritz-Carlton. Ryan also targeted Chef Eric Ripert who created Le Bernardin, the New York City restaurant known as the Temple of Seafood. Ripert's Ritz Carlton restaurant is known as Blue - now entering its 12th year. Getting Ripert on board was a major coup for Ryan.
In 2012 Ryan said the hotel was paying about $100,000 per month to keep North Sound Club Golf Course open. He said the hotel is paying $150 per night per room for electricity. He says the current business model is simply unsustainable.
While the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman proved to be a successful hotel, the companies created by its developer, Michael Ryan, to construct and later manage the property were placed into receivership in 2012 over an unpaid $250 million loan. The hotel was then sold by the receivers at a public auction in November 2012 to Connecticut based Five Mile Capital Partners for just $177.5 million. It was the largest real estate auction in the history of the Cayman Islands. The $210 million invested by Marvin M. Schwan Charitable Foundation was unsecured and was a total loss following the auction.
Cayman-based Dart Real Estate purchased the 375-room Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman from Five Mile Capital Partners, LLC. in October, 2017. Kenneth Dart’s Dart Real Estate is the most important real estate firm in the Cayman Islands, best known for its flagship Camana Bay mixed-use development and the Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa and accompanying residences. The long-term management agreement with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company remains in place.
