"Thanks for your comment, Willy, it not only brings home many of the issues for those who think it's only a dirty ice pile not a ecological hazard, but also because it reminds me of something additional that I probably should have added to the…"

The Black Hills of West End

Spring has sprung and with its coming, Ludington annually features a rather unique man-made wonder just a stone's throw from its Lake Michigan shore:  The Black Hills of the West End.  While one may argue that this is more like a dirty brown ridge of earth and snow, created by a winter's worth of snow removal from local streets, we prefer the romanticized version…See More

When will these officers be charged with their continued misconduct

These cops in Ludington take things personal and there has been many police officers that should not be police officers. There has been dozens if not hundreds of cases over the last 20 years of misconduct. They need to have this courthouse and police department investigated and these pieces of shit “cops” need to be stopped and prosecuted for their actions

    Migration Update

    The elves of the Ludington Torch were hopeful that we could move from our current Ning 2.0 network to the Ning 3.0 network shortly after our five year anniversary, but we have got news from them back that they are not currently doing any new migrations to the higher platform at this time.  We surmise that there has been problems with the migrations of other Ning sites, because some things do not transfer very well or at all, including videos and group modules. 

    As they continue to…

    Spammertizing

    Over the last couple of months our members have swelled due to an advertising push by those who join, post an ad, provide a link, and possibly send messages to other members advocating some product or action.  While these are basically harmless if you ignore them, the Torch tech wizards cannot fully protect against the intruders.  I have eradicated about two dozen of these infidels, and will make it a practice to do so in the future.

    Downloading Videos

    Want to download videos for a thread or just to add to our Videos library, but are having a hard time figuring it out?  It's not hard once you know how to do it.  First you will need the Video's "Embed" code; on a typical video site like Youtube they will have a "share" button you need to click, you will then see an "Embed" button you need to click.  You will see the code all in blue, you need to "copy" (as in copy and paste) this code by going to your copy command.
