Some time before, I needed to buy a building for my business but I did not have enough money and could not order something. Thank heaven my fellow suggested to take the <a href="http://goodfinance-blog.com/topics/credit-loans">credit loans</a> from banks. Therefore, I did so and used to be satisfied with my bank loan.

Recently a "flaw" in a Photo Gallery web application (Zen Photo) was exploited by "persons unknown with a Russian address" to hack every PHP file on our server. While Zen Photo isn't used on Tender Tale - it was used on other site we host. Fortunately - other than the time lost to "clean up" - the damage was minimal - with one exception - and that was the data file (and backups) for this logbook. We had an off-site backup prior to August 7 2008 - and that has been restored - but obviously - entries between then and now are lost. It's sad when thing are callously destroyed by criminals bent on plying their "trade" - but it's a fact of life. We regret this loss... and hope those effected will re-post their entries.

USS Hunley (AS-31)

Comments:

I was on the Hunley from 88-90 and I had a blast. It was great working in deck department for a short time then I switched over to being a quartermaster. I hated working with numbers in school but being a quartermaster was a blast and it was nice working closely with the captain and exo. I met some great folks on board and if any one would like to get a hold of me please e-mail me and I will get back to you!!!

Good times on both tenders, a lot of fine work was accomplished with some dedicated young folks. A shame such ships as these are no longer utilized.
