01 July 2009 - 09:23 PMi knew a guy that did this but he cut up a burlap sack he painted with dark green stripes before cutting. burlap works good cause it shreds the more you use it and the shreds dont change color (kinda like dark jeans get lighter when they fray.) also i think to much especially on your mask may just get in the way. also you could try stitching it onto your coat and or pants. but its a good idea and it worked well for him
and if you wanna go more hardcore stitching small pieces of elastic (1/4 inch wide works best) onto your coat works to add a more natural effect, just add plants! just make sure to use plants from the field your playing on and replace them everytime you go. plants die specially after you cut them up

Casting aspersions on an African American pastor ... shame on Matt K. Lewis!
Click Here if you Like this Comment 8 persons like this.
The problem is that there appears to be evidence of communication with Cochran staffers. Also, the pastor also looks to have been paid by republicans in previous elections with his name appearing on financial filings.Amazing what happened to be left out of the bow tie wearing Establishment rag.Got all the story?Remember Mississippi!

I believe the increased voter participation in predominately dem districts for the runoff was due to patriotism.

Who would of thought it would have happened in Mississippi and near the anniversary of the Fall of Vicksburg and Gettysburg..This week in 1863 A Mississippi Division went forward on the third day at Gettysburg and were decimated in Pickett´s Charge and some say it proved to be the high water mark of the Confederacy.And today in Mississippi the Establishment charged forward and openly stole an election. They will recede from this point on because everyone sees who they really are.I do not mean to equate the courage of Pickett and his troops to the Establisment Cowards of today. Just wanted to say the Establishment has had their High water Mark.

FTA:"Rather than bow out gracefully and live to fight another day, McDaniel and his allies appear to be going "all in" in an attempt to overturn Cochran's victory.As such, they will either shock the political world by proving massive voter fraud — or ensure that any political future McDaniel might have hoped to salvage is over.I'm betting on the latter, but in politics, anything can happen."(Cough) Speaking of bowing out gracefully ... .Yes, "in politics, anything can happen."

It took me a few minutes to fiddle around with EQ settings for iTunes & this masterpiece of a headphone came to life. I'm not talking about the humming, low-freqeuncy bass we have come to expect from modern home theatre systems, but rather something that came before the subwoofer: hi-fi sound, which incorporated woofers. These speaker systems focused more on bass than sub-bass.
This is exactly what these headphones have to offer: pure acoustic quality at a great price. Expansive sound that goes beyond just stereo or 5.1CH with delicate highs & rich lows.
Great kit!

UKERC Research Fund project:
Transforming the UK Energy System: Public Values, Attitudes and Acceptability
Significant transformations in the way the UK supplies, manages and consumes its energy will be essential if current climate change targets are to be achieved. Public acceptance and attitudes will play an important factor in implementing changes to the energy system and could provide significant difficulties as well as opportunities for the delivery of change.
Whilst there is already research on public opinion about particular ways of producing energy (wind, solar etc) and on different aspects of energy consumption, less is known about perceptions of a whole energy system change (i.e. the combined range of future transformations in energy demand and supply currently under consideration.)
The aim of this research project is to provide an insight into these issues and build on knowledge and understanding of public attitudes, values and acceptability in order to inform policy and produce research evidence for future energy scenarios.
Combining leading expertise in psychology, science, technology, geography and engineering, the project will utilise a range of quantitative and qualitative research methods, from discussion groups to surveys, to examine public perception, paying particular attention to where the public agrees or contests the underlying reasons for proposed change.
The project will be carried out in three stages:
Stage one - researchers will analyse published documents and interview professionals to develop the materials necessary for creating realistic scenarios and discussion topics for the rest of the research.
Stage two - a series of public workshops will be held in order to facilitate group discussion around the materials identified in stage one. Workshops will be held in six case areas across the UK, each with different energy characteristics (e.g. high energy use, proximity to different forms of energy developments.)
Stage three - Building on stages one and two, stage three will examine the choices, values and trade-offs with a broader survey sample representative of the UK population.
Results from the research will provide useful insight into public acceptability of decarbonisation pathways, including what choices might gain broad public support or where resistance/ conflict might be expected.
Outputs will include the creation of an Advisory Panel (consisting of representatives from policy, third sector, industry and independent academics), stakeholder briefings, academic publications, final report and launch event and a dedicated website for all users, particularly the public, detailing all aspects of the research.
The project is partnership between Cardiff University Schools of Psychology, Engineering and Architecture and the Horizon Digital Centre based at the University of Nottingham.

The Everygirl added new prints and mugs to the shop.
Photo shoot for Mac and Mia. How CUTE is baby Frankie?
Time for another update. I swear, it's been n-o-n-s-t-o-p since the move, but things have been great! We had Will in town one weekend, two of my good friends got married, getting settled in the new place, spending time with friends, a few photo shoots, and usual work stuff etc. Everything has been good though.
Having 2 floors and an extra living room makes this roommate thing easy. And at this point, we're basically sisters, so it works. Also, Alaina's boyfriend brings Kombucha and takes out our trash, so having him around is pretty cool.
I'm excited to tell you that Alaina and I will be speaking at The School of Styling in Raleigh this August! We're also speaking at a sorority convention in Orlando this July! And apparently we're going to that Harry Potter world, so that should be interesting. Ha.
Finally found my nightstands (in white) and after starting at my Restoration Hardware shopping cart for a few days, splurged on this new duvet (in grey). I decided to go with a neutral palette. Shocker.
On the hunt for lamps and I'm torn between these and these.
Two weeks ago, I was lucky enough to borrow a Nissan Rogue. It's such a beautiful car, drives well, and is easy to park (the camera and parking sensors are the best thing ever). I drove everywhere and it was wondrous. And now I want a car. Big expenses scare me, so it's time to pine over my budget and figure out if it's a practical decision or not.
The pup is still on his immune suppressants but is finally off steroids, which can have some pretty serious long-term side effects. He's doing great.
Two weeks ago, I did 100 Rx pull-ups! I tore my hand for the first time which wasn't pretty, but I did it.
I saw Haim with my friend Colleen last weekend. They were AMAZING! Go see them. Also had sangria at Ba Ba Reeba and brunch at The Bristol. In a maxi dress. Finally feels like summer! And I napped on both Saturday and Sunday.
Alaina and I sat down for coffee with THE Bobbi Brown who answered questions about skincare for The Everygirl! I've been using her skincare line since I was 17, so it was a very exciting experience for me. She told me I have great skin and thought I was in my 20s which was basically the greatest complement I've ever gotten from the one person whose thoughts on skin matter more than anyone. So that rocked.
So excited for the three day weekend. I'm going out tomorrow night and have a party Saturday but don't have anything else planned which I'm really excited about. Just going to relax and see where it goes. Maybe take a nap, catch up on Mad Men, and hopefully end up at a BBQ or on a patio. Or both.
Have a great holiday weeknd!

The Vince Carter Revival Tour Moves From Dallas to Memphis

Vince Carter finally found a second life in Dallas. Can he continue aging gracefully in Memphis? Continue Reading
For Dirk Nowitzki's Dallas Mavericks, first round playoff exits deem entire seasons failures. Such was the case in 2004 when Don Nelson's last team was ousted by the Sacramento Kings in five games. The dominant 2007 Mavs will be remembered forever, but on the wrong side of history: they fell after six dramatic games to the eighth-seeded Golden State Warriors. And the 2008 and 2010 squads suffered similar fates, as high aspirations led to new questions and offseason changes after they were easily ousted in late April.

Little Sally came home from school with a smile on her face, and told her mother, "Frankie Brown showed me his weenie today at the playground!" Before the mother could raise a concern, Sally went on to say, "It reminded me of a peanut." Relaxing with a hidden smile, Sally's mom asked, "Really small, was it?" Sally replied, "No, salty." Mom fainted.
A lady goes to the doctor and complains that her husband is losing interest in sex. The doctor gives her a pill, but warns her that it's still experimental. He tells her to slip it into his mashed potatoes at dinner, so that night, she does just that. About a week later, she's back at the doctor, where she says, "Doc, the pill worked great! I put it in the potatoes like you said! It wasn't five minutes later that he jumped up, raked all the food and dishes onto the floor, grabbed me, ripped all my clothes off, and ravaged me right there on the table!" The doctor says, "I'm sorry, we didn't realize the pill was that strong! The foundation will be glad to pay for any damages." "Nah," she says, "that's okay. We're never going back to that restaurant anyway."
A typical macho man married a typical good looking lady, and after the wedding, he laid down the following rules. "I'll be home when I want, if I want, what time I want, and I don't expect any hassle from you. I expect a great dinner to be on the table, unless I tell you that I won't be home for dinner. I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing, and card playing when I want with my old buddies, and don't you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules. Any comments?" His new bride said, "No, that's fine with me. Just understand that there will be sex here at seven o'clock every night, whether you're here or not."
A woman places an ad in the local newspaper. "Looking for a man with three qualifications: won't beat me up, won't run away from me, and is great in bed." Two days later her doorbell rings. "Hi, I'm Tim. I have no arms so I won't beat you, and no legs so I won't run away." "What makes you think you are great in bed?" the woman retorts. Tim replies, "I rang the doorbell, didn't I?"
A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced 10 husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin." "What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married 10 times?" "Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative. He kept telling me how great it was going to be. Husband #2 was in software services. He was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me. Husband #3 was from field services. He said everything checked out diagnostically, but he just couldn't get the system up. Husband #4 was in telemarketing. Even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver. Husband #5 was an engineer. He understood the basic process, but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method. Husband #6 was from finance and administration. He thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not. Husband #7 was in marketing. Although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it. Husband #8 was a psychologist. All he ever did was talk about it. Husband #9 was a gynecologist. All he did was look at it. Husband #10 was a stamp collector. All he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!" "Good," said the new husband, "but, why?" "You're a lawyer. This time I know I'm going to get screwed!"

If your kiln is vented through the bottom, you'll want to place your bottom shelf at least 1/2" off the floor; am guessing 1" might be better. I use I " supports beneath the bottom shelf because it allow for the vent to do its job and puts the shelf just a bit below the first row of elements. As others have said, easier to scrape or replace a shelf than a kiln floor.

UPDATE: Weds 5:35 PM, Mar 26, 2014
The Wausau Convention and Visitors Bureau will be taking over management of the Patriot Center in the Cedar Creek Mall. The bureau says it's all in an effort to make sure the building remains a part of the community. And events scheduled there go on as planned.
When an interim management group first took over the Cedar Creek Mall late last year--they knew they wouldn't be able to handle operating the entire Cedar Creek Mall. That's why they chose to enlist the help of the convention and visitors bureau to keep things running smoothly. While its a big undertaking, its an opportunity they jumped at.
"It's in our interest. It's a facility that brings people into the community. That is our number one priority. We bring them into the shop, they eat, they stay in our hotels, that sort of thing. That is our number one priority. Losing this facility would be a disaster right now, so it our obligation to make sure we all succeed," Explains bureau member Richard Barrett.
The management of the facility will only be temporary-- until a new owner is found. But in the meantime - the convention and visitor's bureau wants to make it clear that things will stay just the way they are.
"We want to make everybody assured that their event is going on and is planned and is going to take place. The Stoney Rivers Group... [wants to make sure the] community is taken care of," said Barrett.
Management says that event booking will also continue as usual.
The Cedar Creek Mall in Rothschild is no doubt struggling. By our count Wednesday, there was a grocery store, movie theater and six other stores. But one of those other stores is going out of business and another is only open on Sundays.
Last December, creditors started legal proceedings against the mall's owner, Timblin Enterprises of Kewaskum. Court records show the Washington County based company defaulted on $15 million in loans
In regards to another former Cedar Creek business, NewsChannel 7 has learned a tanning salon in the mall that shut down without warning is issuing an apology, and says it's coming up with plans to offer refunds.
As we first reported Tuesday night on NewsChannel 7 at 10, Sunfully Dark tanning closed abruptly. That had customers wondering what would happen to money they paid in advance for tanning sessions. Our calls to the salon were not answered and Tuesday it appeared the studio's Facebook page was down.
But on its Facebook page Wednesday afternoon, Sunfully Dark apologized for the inconvenience and said it's working to come up with refund plans, which it will post on Facebook or e-mail to customers.
ORIGINAL STORY: Tues 11:19 PM, Mar 25, 2014
The Sunfully Dark Tanning in the Cedar Creek Mall in Rothschild appears to be shut down.
Many customers said they are shocked that they didn't get any notice about the business closing its doors so abruptly, and it's costing them some big money.
Sunfully Dark customers told NewsChannel 7 they've spent hundreds of dollars on tanning packages and were shocked to see the sign posted in the window saying the store was closed.
Now they want answers or their money back.
"I spent a hundred dollars total, and it's gone," Sunfully Dark Tanning Customer Brandy Bargender said.
Sunfully Dark Tanning in Cedar Creek Mall in Rothschild appears to be closed, and Bargender said customers are getting burned.
"I went there yesterday to use my minutes," Bargender said. "I walked in, and they were closed."
She found the sign saying "store closed" with no contact information leaving customers like Bargender wondering what's going to happen to the hundreds of dollars she's spent on lotions and tanning packages.
"Most likely they knew they (Sunfully Dark) were going to shut down," Bargender said. "They knew this, and to me, it seemed like they were trying to get money out of the public before they shut down. I didn't get any warning whatsoever, even when I went there on Friday."
On Tuesday afternoon, other customers like Terra Keliforth and Sam Poeske also tried to tan but found empty shelves and an empty business.
"I'm really confused," Poeske said. "I was planning on tanning today, and now it's not open."
"I'm upset because my husband and I just spent a $100 here," Keliforth said.
Keliforth said when she tanned on Sunday, no one mentioned the shut down.
"I'm hoping they'll come back or send something out with people's money because we spent a lot of money here, and now that's a waste," Keliforth said.
NewChannel 7 called the Cedar Creek Mall and Sunfully Dark Tuesday for information, however calls were not returned.
"I think they manipulated people," Bargender said. "I don't think it's fair. I want to know how much money they got from doing this ... ripping off the public."
Employees said Zona Designer Outlet, Caleb's Menswear and Sunfully Dark Tanning are gone, and the future of the Patriot Center, which is under the same ownership, is unclear.

To reform the financial sector, we must break up "too big to fail" conglomerates and reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act.
The first step toward lasting financial reform is to identify the roots of the crisis.
How to fix the Federal Reserve.
Congress should step up its investigations of the roots of the financial crisis and slow down the rush to weak solutions--especially the empowerment of the Federal Reserve.
How can we expect the experts to reform the financial system when it's experts who got us into this mess to begin with?
The Bush-Obama strategy of throwing trillions at the banks to solve the mortgage crisis is a huge bust. Will the president be able to extricate us from this mess?
We're being robbed. A scathing report by the Treasury Department's inspector general says the TARP program is mismanaged and rife with potential fraud.
As government takes a larger role in business, political skills may matter more than business acumen. And ethics? Not so much.
The economic crisis requires a radical response--not revved-up consumerism.
Without significant federal action, affordable housing will become increasingly out of reach.

Looking back in anger at their days in the New Left, he and Collier wrote Destructive Generation (1989), a chronicle of their second thoughts about the 60s that has been compared to Whittaker Chambers' Witness and other classic works documenting a break from totalitarianism. Horowitz examined this subject more closely in Radical Son (1996), a memoir tracing his odyssey from "red-diaper baby" to conservative activist that George Gilder described as "the first great autobiography of his generation." He is author of the newly published book The Great Betrayal (Regnery 2014), which is a chronicle of the Democrats treachery in the war on terror before 9/11 to the death of Osama bin Laden.

About Homer Wallace
When I saw this natural beach several years ago, I realized the area had been overlooked, as it was so unique with white sand, oak trees on the property and a world of opportunity for travelers. I purchased the property, built a beach house, only used it for our family, but when Hurricane Katrina washed it away in August 2005, I decided to rebuild, stronger with more amenities. Guests can enjoy views from the tower and take advantage of beach activities.
Homer Wallace purchased this house in 2007
Guestbook comments from the owner
In planning my trip, I was totally unfamiliar with the area. I blindly stumbled across the Ocean Belle beach house by accident and felt that I was taken my chances in choosing to stay there. AFter staying there I believe there is no better place to stay in the area. It is perfect. It is quiet, secluded, the beach is natural and the sunsets are beautiful.
The house is amazing. It is spacious. Just enough room to get together and enough room to get away from each other. Satellite TV in each room. The screened porch is fabulous for breakfast with the ocean breeze and wildlife to watch. The tower is perfect for watching storms roll in.
To be fair - the negative - the water stinks. But that is the only negative thing I could think of. With such a beauiful house and incredible location, I can live with bottled water.
I couldn't have planned a better place to stay or an area to visit even if I had known what I was doing. I almost don't want you to post this review because I want the house all to myslf.
Thanks Susan and Homer

The idea is that the words are hard to read and it is easier for a human to identify them this way. The extension even allow the use of the words in different languages.
This is affecting the security provided by CAPCTA in an ignorable way because there is a very very long list of words.
If you would had asked on the forum or by email I would had showed you how to modify this. It's very easy to change them to random strings of characters.
So maybe the really stupid thing is to complaining about something without asking for help about it.

In Hindsight Lyrics - Zyklon
De-evolution for thousands of years
Consolidates all my fears
Ignoring the real issue
Stop bothering about pity human scar tissue
Diminish our earthly waste
Finished in haste
Earth turned into a cold-blooded corporation
What about the future generations?
In hindsight we should be brave enough
To surrender and realise
That the consequences will be tough
And at the end our demise
What is it with our digital existence?
Why do we cling with such persistence?
Exploring alternative ways of living
A greater gift our world we are fiving
We see in hindsight
That the future is not bright
Let the green militia reign
Our most important refrain

Jackson, MS
Located at the crossroads of I-20 and I-55, Jackson is easily accessible by all modes of transportation. The Jackson International Airport is situated only 15 minutes from downtown and the Jackson Public Transit System provides reliable bus service to the entire metro area. Driving is often considered the best method for getting around, especially for those exploring the more rural areas beyond the city limits. While biking and walking is practical downtown, a car is the best choice for areas beyond the urban streets.

Jackson is home to a long list of excellent museums. The Mississippi Children's Museum, which showcases everything from art and music to biology, is the number one attraction among tourists. The Old Capital Museum, which dates back to 1837, is the old Mississippi government building and features artifacts from Jackson's yesteryear. Finally, the always-popular Mississippi Museum of Natural History is a unique space because it features over two miles of outdoor trails that wind through natural habitats.

Jackson is home to Eudora Welty, a famous author known for her stories of the South. She spent her life in Jackson and her house is now the National Registry of Historical Landmarks. It is a very popular tourist attraction, so much so that the house nextdoor now acts as the visitor center to ensure preservation of the home.

The Alamo Theater is Jackson's most historic art, music and dance venue. It opened in 1915 and served as a major African American entertainment venue for many years, screening mostly westerns and African American films. Over the years, music has become an integral part of the theater's history, with great acts like Nat King Cole performing there. It was closed in 1980s but successfully revived in 1997 after major renovations. It has remained open and thriving since then.

About Ian Bolden
Born in BC and loves everything the Coast has to offer. Knowledgable about the area, local amenities and activities.
Ian Bolden purchased this cottage in 2012
Why Ian Bolden chose Sechelt
What's not to love! Private woodland 3/4 acre property sloped towards the beach in lovely Davis Bay. Smell the fragrance of the forest and ocean. Easy access to so many amenities - golf, groceries, diving, kayaking and more! So close to Vancouver, but yet so far away. You can extend your weekends by staying Sunday night -- catch the 06:20 a.m. ferry and be in downtown Vancouver easily by 8 a.m.
What makes this cottage unique
Location!! Walk or 3 min drive to all amenities. Only 20 mins from ferry! View decks at each unit and a large beachfront deck that can only be described as fabulous!. It's totally private and hosts the best sunsets on the Coast. Swim and barbecue at the beach, sip some wine and watch the waves. So much to look at ... the islands, boat, barge and cruise ship traffic, eagles, herons ... who knows what you'll see!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you for welcoming us to your beautiful cottage. The views were second to none - to be surrounded by the ocean and so close to nature was a gift we will always remember. We admire you for creating this awesome oasis of peace and beauty in Sechelt.

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Bronx' category.
Of course, there is Tilly, seen afloat here just a few weeks before she was allowed to sink near Key West.
And then there are a set of ice yachts, built in the Bronx but not listed on this website, although I'm not sure why.
And then there was sub chaser PC-1264–two dozen projects BEFORE Tilly, sold for scrap but never scrapped.
Close up of 1264 starboard at low tide.
A view of her port side . . . three years ago. But if you go decades farther back in products of the Bronx, there is
this!! Here's an article from a 1916 issue of Power Boating (scroll to p. 37) on the Speedway products of the Consolidated in the Bronx. Besides Consolidated, the Bronx also had Kyle & Purdy and
Here's a Bronx product of Lyon-Tuttle shipyard, previously Kyle & Purdy.
And here's another . . .
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who snapped the last three photos above at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton NY, a must-see for anyone interested in recreational boats.
And although this is a bit late, I'll be at the midtown main branch of the New york Public Library this evening with Gary Kane to show and discuss our documentary . . . Graves of Arthur Kill.
I had fotos of Tilly on this blog about six weeks ago here, and on a cold sixth boro day that threatens to get colder, I want to salute smart folks like Mike Knape who a) spent it in a warm place and b) sent me a set of fotos of this boat which had the good sense to travel south itself.
Tilly is from 1943 and built in Morris Heights in the Bronx at Consolidated Shipbuilding. An online museum should be created with images of as many of Consolidated Shipbuilding products as photos can be located of. For example, this one. Morris Heights also produced some of these iceboats . . . to give a seasonally appropriate vessel for the sixth boro.
Here, here, and here I did some posts from the Conch Republic myself a few years ago, although I had the poor judgement to go there when upnorth was warm. Next time I should make my way here when a walk on New York streets is incomplete without glances over my shoulder in case a pack of polar bears might be following. Poor Fred up in Fort Edward is hunkered down in his boathouse with famished Ursus maritimuses circling.
Mike . . . many thanks for passing along these fotos from a warm place.
Captain Charles . . 1953. Know the location? The bridge in the background is a clue. Answer can be found at the end of this post.
James Turecamo, like me class of 1969, foto taken just before yesterday's planned building implosion. By that early hour, James had already earned a fair amount of "keep." To see James in Turecamo livery, click here.
Hunter is something different! She's just towed in a dead fishing boat. How much would a RIB like this cost new?
Catherine and Kimberly, both Turecamo, escorted Tonna up the Arthur Kill, past the scrapyard where Gary Kane and I filmed the documentary.
Jennie B, 1955, in the mighty Columbia.
Captain Bob, August 1945 Marietta Manufacturing Point Pleasant WV hull #538, is a one year younger sibling LT of Bloxom (June 1944 and hull # 519)! Also, in this run was Mary E. Hannah and James A. Hannah, posted here on tugster in 2012. To get a sense what Captain Bob (ex-Sea Commander) looks like high and dry–and by extension what Bloxom of Graves of Arthur Kill once did–click here. On the vessel below, I love the green "door."
Scroll through here and here for more LT Army fotos.
HMS Liberty 1978 here sidles up to schooner Virginia.
Linda L. Miller, eastbound of the East River. Linda L. and Gabby Miller assisted in loading Mighty Servant a year and a half ago.
Coastline Bay Star, once known as Coney Island, dates from 1958.
Longsplice (originally Shrike, 1959) recently high and dry near the Arthur Kill.
Pilot, 1941 out of a yard in Sturgeon Bay WI, is a sibling of Spooky!
And this vessel, on the left bank of the Willamette, I've no idea. Anyone help?
Getting back to that first foto, the bridge in the background is the Bronx-Whitestone. Foto then is taken from the north end of that unique part of the Bronx called City Island.
All fotos taken in the past month by Will Van Dorp.
Very related: I'm looking for someone (or some group of people) to take over guest editor position of this blog for about a month this summer. Compensation is a fortune of sixth boro shellbacks as well as fame; you could become a paladin of the port. You really can be geographically any watery place. And you have to adhere to a disciplined foto-driven/sparse verbiage mix of workboats, history, eccentricity, and apolitical wit. Of course, you can add to that a smattering of your own favorite sprinklings.
Hmmm . . . does that describe tugster? Feel free to add to a characterization of the blog. But seriously, I need to step away for a while this summer . . . to gallivant, of course. Get in touch for details. Learning the blogging template is not difficult.
This cryptic title will become clear in time, but first check out these fotos taken by Jim Ash . . . back more than a decade ago when the long-gone Coral Queen was headed up the creek . . . the creek referred to being also known as the Anne Hutchinson River.
The thing about these creeks is that large vessels–that's a relative term–can only navigate them only when water levels are up. But if you're up the creek too long after ebb, you stay where you are until the water comes back. When levels are up, you head downstream, around
any and all obstacles, overtop of submerged but hidden threats you know are there, underneath
the ones that don't have to lift for you, through
the portals only at that instant when they're open and you're lined up, and
toward the open water.
More on this–the specialized creek work of Diane B and . . . the proud, the very few . . . soon. All fotos by Will Van Dorp.
All manner of small vessels traverse the waters of the sixth boro. Twin Tube is truly one ageless fixture of the harbor. If I did photoshopping, I'd have the boom dangle something tantalizing over the Statue's upstretched hand.
Annie G II . . . makes me wonder about Annie G I. Here she
stands by as crew perform some truck task over on the west side of Governor's Island. I've enjoyed watching the derelict buildings on the Island disappear. A largely unseen harbor project farther south (sorry no pics from UNDER the sixth boro) has been the tunneling of a new deeper "water main" (p. 7 ff) between Brooklyn and Staten Island.
A small USCG boat stops for maintenance on the red 32. Unfortunately, I was on a vessel headed away from the buoy, and a few seconds after I took this, one crewman stepped aboard the buoy, on the other side.
A small USACE vessel speeds to the southeast past Robins Reef Light.
John P Brown pushes fewer than a dozen of the mere 1500 cars per year across the harbor, the miniscule fraction of merchandise that travels between NJ and parts of NYC on non-rubber wheels.
A small fishing boat crosses the bay under the cranes
on hovering over Bayonne.
St Andrews runs light past some unidentified tugs obscured in the fog. I spent July 4 docked near St Andrews.
New England style fishing boat heads out of the Bronx while Fox Boys (I think) pushes some scrap probably toward Jersey City.
In fading light, HMS Liberty heads for the Kills. I've often wonder what the HMS stood for in this case. . . . Is the H his, her, or something else . . . .
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, who wonders whether Sandy will be sandy or just windy, snowy, rainy, . . . tricky . . . .
Thanks much, Jim.
Here are my fotos of Coral Queen, which began rebirth through the scrapyard portal a few years back now.
Imagine a tugboat with a bowsprit, at least some of the time? See the link at the end.
First from Robert Apuzzo . . . Crow (1963) in the East River, and
Susan Miller (1981, ex-Uncle Ned) in the Bronx River. Speaking of the Bronx River, here's its namesake tug and some info on doings in the Bronx River this summer. By the way, you saw Bronx nearly lost in the lush bow pudding of Cornell here last September… scroll through a bit.
From John Watson, the newer (Feb 2011) and bigger (630′) orange juice tanker Orange Stararrives escorted by Laura K. Moran.
A distant sound like a train whistle Saturday morning . . . that was the aforementioned Cornell.
A school of Vane boats (l. to r. Elk River, Pataspsco, and Quantico Creek) get their stern-parts bathed by the oracle waters Gowanus Canal.
Eagle Service, fairly fresh off the Great Lakes, heads into KVK about a week ago.
Like Eagle Service, Greenland Sea was originally built as a Bollinger-built Candies boat. . . Grant Candies (November 1996) and Doc Candies (December 1990).
Another Hornbeck boat, Freedom Service (1983) heads into the Buttermilk from the East River.
Buchanan 12 (1972) heads into the East River. See her light here.
Thanks to Robert and John for sharing their fotos.
Unrelated: Here are some fotos from the Seattle Maritime Festival, tug race and more, from yesterday. Wish I'd been able to go. Here and here are some Seattle water fotos I took last summer. For updates on Coot, the tug in W. O. Decker colors, click here. Scrolling through you'll also find some great tugboat names as well as the hull–high and dry–of a supertug under construction.
Also unrelated but . . a two-minute video honoring WW2 vets. Watch it all, please.
Anna Frater is the bowspritted tugboat; click here to see it. It's not the first such tug to appear here: check out this tugantine from 2008.
Remember, if you're in NYC and free tonight . . . Working Harbor Committee is presenting movie and panel: Women at Sea. If I didn't have to work, I'd be there.
I've posted a set of fotos about this vessel here before, but still been unable to learn anything about it. It lies where Westchester Creek (In fact, click on the link and you'll see another foto of the same grounded vessel!) flows into the East River west of the Whitestone Bridge. And not that I haven't looked, though it's clear that my searches have focused on the wrong places. Uncorroborated stories are these: it was coming from South America, the owner abandoned a plan to turn Christina or Cristina into a floating restaurant . . possibly in Philadelphia, it was dropped off there to mark a shoal. A search of NYTimes archives from 1920 until 1980 turns up nothing about either this grounded vessel or
When spring actually gets here and work slows down, I plan to put a human powered vessel in this area and look around more. Thanks to Robert Apuzzo for these fotos.
But . . . as often happens, I found some interesting info on other groundings in the harbor in the past 80 years . . . yes, one happened in the East River less than two weeks ago, as of this writing. Some of these include:
May 1927 dreadnought Colorado Diamond Reef* (between Governors Island and southeastern tip of the Battery)
Dec 1936 freighter Malang Roosevelt Island, then Welfare Island
Aug 1951 battleship Wisconsin (actually North River near NJ across from 79th Street)
Oct 1955 battleship Wisconsin Diamond Reef
Feb 1970 tanker Desert Princess (ex-Hoegh Grace, 664′) Mill Rock
Dec 1972 tanker Vitta (659′) south of Ward Island, spilling 150 tons of oil
April 1979 tanker Algol East River off 10th Street. If you have a NYTimes subscription, you can read the article here, telling that six Moran tugs came to the assistance of Algol in sprite of the strike then happening.
Apr 28 2005, a gasoline barge struck Diamond Reef, with some spillage. See here.
Meanwhile, if I don't find some info on that top wreck, I'll succumb to all the imagined histories, maybe even embroider them a bit, and call it fiction. Not so bad, eh?

This holy grail of sail is the Van Nostrand Cup, crafted by Tiffany in 1888 at the behest of Gardiner Van Nostrand, "held since 1891 by the North Shrewsbury Ice Boat and Yacht Club," put up for competiton only once (1978) since then. Getting it back is tricky. Races can only happen when waters are frozen; you need good ice, though, not just any ice. You need wind but not too much. Last Saturday winds gusted to 50 mph, and then Sunday . . . in spite of this beautiful ice … puffs happened only sporadically. And with good wind, how fast can they go? Answer follows.
John Vargo, here with a formidable hat made of skins of two Great Plains coyotes, talks about the sport as
over on the far side of this lake (which I will refer to as Lake Shangri-la . . . located somewhere between the sixth boro and the St. Lawrence) two old stern-steerers race. If you haven't seen bowsprite's video of the last run of Galatea from February 2010, click here.
A little over 100 years ago, ice boats like these were THE fastest vehicle on earth! This youtube video from the 1930s touts the fact that a Chevy can outrun an iceboat, an appeal that seems quite bizarre today.
To me, these vessels seem too beautiful and delicate to be so fast.
Varnish, polished brass, marlinespike are all lovingly cared for on Ariel.
Genevieve is a beauty returned recently from Wisconsin
by Brett, whose passion for iceboats was quite evident. This type of passion and
obsession one who blogs incessantly of water can easily empathize with. Wonder why the nameboard looks so untraditional?
Genevieve was built not far from a certain temple of baseball in the Bronx. Here's a list of vessels built there, but there's no mention of their iceboating endeavors. While we're on NYYL&E history, check out their Bronx-built Linmar and Olympus. Another long-gone Morris Heights-based builder built lightships.
A two-person crew pushes off in light wind before lying in the basket.
Genevieve's bigger basket accommodates more crew, more pushers.
Waiting for the wind here from near to far: Ice Queen, Whirlwind, and Ariel.
Lake Shangri-la beckons; when the wind blows, these boats are eager to bring the Grail back to New York ice. All fotos by Will Van Dorp, who's grateful for the hospitality.

Ice boat speed records: Debutaunte . . . 143 mph? Miss Wisconsin . . . 200 . .. has it been clocked?
Check out John Vargo's Boating on the Hudson FaceBook page here.
If you were leisurely drifting down the river on your air mattress and you saw this, how concerned might you be? (Doubleclick enlarges.)
But that just wouldn't happen. Better to see this sight from an even faster boat. What's this? It's the race, and again, thanks to Captain Matt Perricone of Cornell, I enjoyed an upper deck view of my favorite Labor Day event. And without much ado or text or research, here are some fotos.
To see the mighty Atlantic Salvor bearing down on you with all its momentum …
humbles and inspires awe.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. As the hour approaches, vessels parade north to the starting line, where they
fan out and turn to await the signal.
Blue dominated among the vessels around us, blue the same color as the smoke.
And afterward, the pushing contests began. Some vessels were fairly even-matched whereas
Others seemed so mismatched almost to require the service
of stunt drivers.
Of course there were winners, and I might get around to announcing some of those, but on a day like this, everyone, spectators included, are winners. Equipment gets dragged back to the yards.
All fotos taken by will Van Dorp.
Vessels included (in no particular order … and correct me if I missed one) Cornell, Atlantic Salvor, Bronx, Mary H, Maurania III, W. O. Decker, Vulcan III, Sea Wolf, Cheyenne, Meagan Ann, Catherine, Susan, and Shawn Miller. Viking took part in the pushing contests but not the race. More fotos tomorrow.

A MEMBER of the Oswestry Olympians athletics club has just returned from the idyllic island of Hawaii after competing in the 34th Ironman World Championships.
Sarah Greaves tackled what is renowned as being the toughest Ironman event in the world as she swam 2.4 miles in the Pacific Ocean, cycled 112 miles on volcanic terrain and completed a gruelling marathon in near 40 degree heat.
Taking place in Kailua-Kona on October 12, thousands of competitors lined up for the challenging race, having all had to qualify for their place at previous events, with Sarah finishing a very creditable 18th in her age group after receiving an encouraging hug from four-time World Champion, Chrissie Wellington.
"It was tough going but I was determined to see it through to the end," said Sarah who finished the race in a time of 13 hours and 38 minutes.
"The whole trip was a fantastic experience and I was proud to wear my Oswestry colours during the cycling and running sections," she added.
Having arrived safely back home, Sarah is continuing to coach young triathletes at Oswestry School on Friday evenings.
