In 1996, a 23-year-old woman walked into a studio and took her clothes off on camera for the first time. Little did she know that very pictorial would launch her career, and the name Carmen Electra would soon become known by every man in America.
With fame came her debut on television, including a role on Baywatch and as a host on MTV's Singled Out. Now 16 years later, after five pictorials and three covers gracing Playboy Magazine; Playboy.com invites you to experience Carmen's take on battling a 2-Headed Shark Attack, her thoughts on her Playboy experience, and what got her sexy figure on stage with the Pussycat Dolls.
Playboy.com: So you're back touring?
Electra: Yeah, I've been doing these one off shows with the girls. It's just been really fun. We're doing the same show that we did at the viper room. Mostly dancing, but also singing too. It's just I really like to get back on stage and perform, it's really fun and I've always loved doing those routines. You know? And we've sold out almost every show – it's been really fun!
Playboy.com: Getting back on stage and performing, does it make you want to release another album? We would love to see one.
Electra: Oh really? That's so sweet (Laughs), I started off obviously dancing and working with Prince so there's somewhere inside of me that I always want to work on music for some reason everything else just seems to flow a lot easier. The acting, and commercials, and dancing, you know? I would absolutely love to.
Playboy.com: It's sixteen years since your first appearance with Playboy, how do you think you've grown since then?
Electra: A lot of time has gone by, and that was really the start of it all with the very first Playboy. All of a sudden my career just started to take off and I was kind of just thrown into the mix. I learned along the way. I've learned so much, with all trial and error at that time. But it was so much fun.
Playboy.com: During your cover story in 2009, you spoke about how nervous you were for your first interview. Do you feel more confident now or do you still feel like that little girl?
Electra: When I'm working with Playboy I feel completely confident because I know the photographers and I've been able to ease into it. I've done it so many times now (laughs) that I do feel more comfortable.
But I remember the first time I was so nervous and I just walked in for a meeting and immediately was asked to have some polaroids taken so I really didn't know what that meant. I mean, to the extent of it. I walk into the room and a guy hands me a robe and says, "Ok, go, take your clothes off." I was what? I didn't shave my legs! I had no idea – I was really, really, nervous that day. There was no lighting, I wasn't expecting it but they liked the polaroids so they asked me to come do a test shoot.
So I did the shoot, and I was super nervous but Arnie Freitag shot the photos. I didn't really know, you know, that I would have to get naked. I kept wanting to keep my bottoms on and they're saying, "Pull the sides down." And I was like, "OK."
Playboy.com: So coming back to Playboy is like coming home for you?
Electra: I love Playboy, and Hef is such a sweetheart, and I have just really loved the experience. I sort of remember just looking up to the women of Playboy…Marilyn Monroe, and all these beautiful women and just thinking: they do show a lot, but it's classier than most magazines, there's something about it, and I just wanted to be a part of it.
Playboy.com: Do you remember when you first read a Playboy?
Electra: I remember sneaking into my parents' room and reading one of their Playboys…I must have been about seven. When you're younger its taboo, so of course you want to look.
Playboy.com: Again, you are really looking great in the new film, what's this about a Twitter campaign for workout motivation?
Electra: I tweeted to my fans to ask them to help me get motivated. I figured I couldn't let them down. I was thinking about them, and how sweet they were like: you can do it, you can do it! Just in that moment from Christmas to New Years I lost interest and couldn't get back into the flow of the gym or a ballet class.
Playboy.com: Let's talk about the amazing 2-Headed Shark Attack. What made you interested in the film?
Electra: I read the script and I found myself laughing out loud, being on my toes, feeling nervous about what was going to happen. It's a thriller; it's a two-headed shark! I thought it would be really fun. We shot in the Florida Keys, so we were out in the boat for a couple of weeks in the hot sun…it was almost like a vacation.
Playboy.com: Except there was a Two-Headed Shark…
Electra: Mhmm. I've always had a good sense of humor and I think it really started with (MTV's) Singled Out, that really helped me find the humor in things, and not take things so seriously. That's been a life lesson for me. It's what I've chosen to do.
Playboy.com: Did you see any of The Asylum's other great creature films prior to shooting it?
Electra: No I didn't, but I did know there was an underground following…they are kind of campy!
Playboy.com: Tell us about your character Anne?
Electra: She's the professor's wife, and the professor is played by Charlie O'Connell. We go out to see for a semester with the kids, and the ship is, you know, sunk by a mutated two-headed shark [laughs]. There are a lot of crazy things that happen.
Playboy.com: Were you afraid of getting in the water with that thing?
Electra: In Florida, being in the water – it's scary; there's a lot of sharks around – real sharks! Along with a lot of jellyfish, they are everywhere. We would just look over the boat, and it was one of those things about shooting in Florida that made it more realistic. Even though a mutated two-headed shark is not, there were a lot of things going on. The weather would just change and start raining and hailing out of nowhere. We were on this little boat, and there were moments when we were actually scared.
Playboy.com: So it wasn't just a clean-cut shoot?
Electra: No, I wasn't really afraid of the two-headed monster, but what was around it I was actually afraid of.
Playboy.com: That's a different take on it! Did you enjoy your ending in the film?
Electra: They're things that won't necessarily happen in real life, so you can do it in a movie [laughs]. I mean when I read the script…I don't want to give too much away. When you realize it's all going down – it's pretty funny.
Playboy.com: Was it a dream ending for you?
Electra: It was a dream ending, it had to be like that. It's one of those great moments.
Playboy.com: Now to that bikini scene, did it bring you back to Baywatch at all?
Electra: There were moments that I felt Baywatch being channeled.
Playboy.com: This is your sixth appearance with Playboy, so you're getting up there with Pamela. You've got a bit of a Baywatch competition going on here.
Electra: Oh my god! [laughs]
Playboy.com: I guess running away from the water instead of into it?
Electra: Yeah, and that bikini scene was really a last minute thing. They came back and said, (they) really want to see you in a bikini. I was like OK; tell me, what do you want me to do? It was crazy, we had overhead helicopters flying over to get shots of me…sunbathing, in a bikini.
Playboy.com: It's what people want to see! Along with people getting eaten of course. Now you've done a lot of spoof movies over the last decade, what drew you to those?
Electra: I've always liked to have fun and when I'm hanging out with my friends I've got a silly sense of humor. So for me, it's what it was all about. Getting these scripts and cracking up at what the scenes were.
With Scary Movie, just working with the Wayans… you just know they're going to do it right. They can make it really funny and just seeing the reaction of other people. It's like, you don't take yourself so seriously. That makes me feel good, being able to connect with a lot of people because of that.
Playboy.com: It's a gift. Do you have a favorite moment?
Electra: With Scary Movie it was all about that opening scene. She's on the phone, and the killer comes into the house, and then she's running through the woods and the sprinkler system come on… and once again I end up in a bikini and panties.
Playboy.com: So you're just not surprised now when people ask you to uncover?
Electra: No, not at all. It's ok, what do you want me to do?
Playboy.com: It should be in your film contracts from now on.
Electra: I actually get really happy when I'm working and don't have to do that, it's different.
Playboy.com: Really?
Electra: It's something I'm not used to-not being in a bikini scene, or that sexy lingerie scene.
Playboy.com: So you're telling us you want to be in a movie in a parka next?
Electra: [Laughs] You know, either way I'm grateful to do what I love to do, and be in a business that I really wanted to be in, with a career and a life doing this.
Playboy.com: What do you have in the works right now?
Electra: I've started designing my line of sexy novelty gifts for Spencer's. It's really fun.
Playboy.com: What are your favorite things so far?
Electra: Studded handcuffs…a cute little set of handcuffs, and a whip. There's a black set and a pink set - the pink whip has a little heart cut out in it. There are glitter tattoos, and other really cute things. It's been really fun for me to do. I have my new pole coming out, it's better than ever, new and improved – it spins!
Playboy.com: It spins?
Electra: Uh huh, oh yeah, it really made sense. You know coming from Playboy and burlesque strip tease things, and all that stuff; and from doing the aerobic strip tease line.
Playboy.com: Any more of that series coming out soon?
Electra: We've been talking about it.
Playboy.com: What are you watching on TV these days?
Electra: I watch a lot of reality TV and documentaries. I love Dance Moms, I love it! I love Atlanta Housewives and the Braxtons. I also love American Horror story. It's amazing!
Playboy.com: Going back to Dance Moms, any plans?
Electra: No, no, not yet. But you never know….It's the one thing I haven't experienced in life. I'm really excited for the day to come when I choose to be: I wanna be a mom! I've always felt like I just wanted to get everything out of the way, so I can be a good mom.
Playboy.com: Current guilty pleasure?
Electra: That would be the Jersey Shore.
Playboy.com: Is there any celeb that you could've slept with in the past, that you now regret not doing?
Electra: No, there were plenty of them [laughs].
Playboy.com: What advice would give to girls who want to follow in your footsteps?
Electra: I would just say if you want to be in this business start practicing your craft. Whatever you want to do: dance, sing, act; just work on it now so when the opportunity comes you're ready. And don't be afraid of rejection, because everyone gets rejected and you need to just keep on going. If you have the willpower, and it's something you really want, you'll get it.
Playboy.com: Any last words for us?
Electra: It's been really fun talking with you because of the Playboy relationship, and has really brought me back to the first time I posed. It's somewhat crazy how my life changed. I've just gone with the flow. I'm really grateful for everything that I've been able to do.

By the time Saturday of New York Comic Con rolled around, my younger kids (13) had run out of patience for dealing with the crowds.
So I tried a different track. While I ran out to an early press breakfast sponsored by Starz for their upcoming show, Da Vinci's Demons, they stayed in the hotel and played with their comic con swag.
My youngest son spent the time playing Tunnel Tail, an all-ages app that is a free real-time RPG. We downloaded the game after visiting the booth on Friday and being told that if we came back and showed that we'd downloaded the app, we would receive a free t-shirt. That was enough motivation for my son. However, we couldn't download it on the spot as the cell phone reception (and wi-fi) reception is atrocious inside the Javits Center. I downloaded it Thursday night at the hotel.
We went back Friday to the booth and received the t-shirt, which my son wore proudly this weekend as he loves the game.

New Florida poll shows vindication of Eastwood Strategy
posted at 10:01 am on September 1, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Feel lucky, punk? When Republicans chose Tampa as the site for the 2012 national convention, they didn't do it for the weather, obviously. They saw Florida as a key to their hopes of winning the presidential election and hoped to make an impact on voters with their week-long argument for Republican control of the White House. According to a snap poll from Survey USA of 754 registered voters who watched the final night of the convention, they may have switched 10% of the vote with the effort:
1,211 adults were interviewed statewide 08/31/12, after Romney, Florida's Marco Rubio and Clint Eastwood spoke to the convention 08/30/12. Of the adults, 1,100 were registered to vote in Florida. Of the registered voters, 754 heard the convention speeches. Of the convention speech watchers:
* 66% did not change their mind.
* 16% switched from "undecided" to Romney.
* 6% switched from Obama to Romney.
* Adding those 2 together, that's 22% who switched TO Romney.
* 10% switched from "undecided" to Obama.
* 2% switched from Romney to Obama.
* Adding those 2 together, that's 12% who switched TO Obama.
* Comparing the 2 aggregate numbers: 22% switched TO Romney, 12% switched TO Obama.
There is, however, a big caveat in this figures, which is that the people who watched the convention on the final night were still more Republican than the general population. The D/R/I of this sample was 24/48/27, and the D/R/I of the 2010 midterms was 36/36/29. That's still significantly less Republican than I would have thought for a convention audience, and this might well be the first datum of success for the Clint Eastwood strategy. Another data point would be the saturation among registered voters in Florida for the final night; in this survey, nearly 69% of registered voters in Florida tuned in. That's a pretty remarkable reach, and if that's the case around the country, I'd say that Team Romney and the RNC won big.
Here's another data point, too: the split among Florida voters to Eastwood's speech was 49% positive to only 24% negative by the next day — presumably even after the avalanche of criticism for it. The overall split is positive in almost all demos except Democrats (30/45) and liberals (26/58). Majorities of independents (51/26), seniors (54/20), men (54/24) approved of it, but the biggest positive response came from Hispanics, 62/21 — even better than Republicans (58/12). Even women (44/25) and black voters (43/37) liked Eastwood's extemporaneous riff on President Obama.
The ultimate question, though, is whose minds were changed — and that looks bad for Obama almost along the same lines. The aggregate numbers are shown above, but here are some key breakdowns in the demos, which we'll calculate by adding those switching from either undecided or Obama to Romney, and those switching from undecided or Romney to Obama, in that order:
- Men: 32/16 (Romney/Obama switchers)
- Women: 15/9
- 18-34YOs: 29/15
- Black: 38/19
- Hispanic: 25/17
- Independent: 37/23
One last caveat: those tuning in among those demos would tend to be a little self-selecting as having an open enough mind to be convinced to switch. Still, it's pretty clear that at least in Florida, Eastwood not only got people to tune in, he got them to enjoy the evening and perhaps open their mind to support Mitt Romney. If I'm Mitt Romney, I'd say that this makes my day.
Update: I should probably also mention some of the reaction to the speeches of Romney and Rubio. Let's start with the positive/negative of Romney:
- Overall: 64/23
- Women: 62/26
- 18-34YOs: 51/39
- Black: 54/36
- Hispanic: 65/19
- Independent: 54/24
And for Rubio, the numbers are even better:
- Overall: 67/19
- Women: 66/20
- 18-34YOs: 57/31
- Black: 55/37
- Hispanic: 76/15
- Independent: 61/21
If Eastwood did indeed drive viewership, these numbers will be key in the weeks ahead for this swing state.

Excerpt: "When the New York Giants originally acquired linebacker Keith Rivers from the Cincinnati Bengals for a fifth-round draft pick, they did so with hopes that he would stay healthy and prove to be a steal. Unfortunately, that did not happen and Rivers was plagued with a variety of injuries, as he has been his entire career.
The five-year veteran ended up playing in only 11 games, mostly as a reserve, collecting 44 tackles and recovering one fumble. However, he did show flashes that once led to him being the 9th overall pick in the draft, and it may have been enough for the Giants to consider bringing him back in 2013.
"There will be discussions with the Giants about Keith returning," Rivers' agent, Andrew Kessler told the New York Post." Read more...

Per Mertesacker admits that festive football is a novel experience for him but he is relishing the chance to play during this "special" time.
The Germany international spent his entire career in the Bundesliga before moving to the Emirates in August, and had been used to a lengthy winter break over Christmas.
"This time of year is a strange situation for me! I spoke to some of my ex-Werder Bremen team-mates recently and they have two-and-a-half weeks off now," Mertesacker told the Official Matchday Programme.
"But I'm very glad to be here over the Christmas period and New Year - you get used to the English ways and it's a special thing about the football here.
"My family will be over, so it's fine. It's very nice to have family that is very close to you and wants to give support in every situation. And besides, spending Christmas and New Year in London is not so bad!"
Following the morale-boosting victory at Aston Villa, Mertesacker is determined to maintain Arsenal's strong run - starting against Wolves.
"I'm looking forward to the game - it's another one we have to win. I'm prepared for the threat their wingers will pose with their crosses," he said.
"At Villa, especially towards the end of the game, there were some dangerous balls into the box but we were very confident and defended them well.
"I'm still learning a lot [about English football] - new stadiums, new opponents. I'm very confident at home though, because I know the dressing room and the pitch. Every game is exciting."

More Scouts and Scouters attend the Philmont Scout Ranch in their Scouting careers than any other BSA High Adventure Base.
The purpose of this forum is to serve the needs of those attending Philmont who are interested in backpacking gear, technique, and lightweight style.May 3, 2008 at 8:37 pm #1431507
Thanks Ryan for making this forum available.
Hopefully, we can provide a great Message Forum for those that have questions about Philmont.
Thanks again,

Sometimes I wonder about the scouting community (at least in my area) when it comes to lightweight backpacking. I gave a backpacking demo at a BSLOT (Boy Scout Leader Outdoor Tranning) tranning class last fall, and had various types of shelters setup. I had a 8×10 silnylon tarp pitched in bomber mode, a DIY tarp tent, a Single wall Eureka, and a Double wall Kelty and a DIY hammock(too show what each was, and what was available). Most of the guys laughed at the tarp and said that they didn't like the no floor aspcet of the shelter or no bug protection. Some also said that a tent is much warmer. Although when I asked what was lighter, a few extra ounces of Insulation and a few pounds of uneed nylon, I got some; Oh yea I guess that makes sense.
On the flip side, last October, While on three day trip with my Troop, we shared a campsite with another troop, and some of the leaders were carrying ULA Catylists and another a SMD Comet. So I guess it all comes with experience.May 9, 2008 at 5:50 pm #1432480
Hi Kyle,
good post. I think there is enough old school still in BSA that lightweight hasn't fully taken hold yet, or maybe "we" haven't done as good of a job as we could on showing why it's a very viable option.
After seeing several scouts last year with 60 – 80 lb packs, (and they were proud of it the first day) I had to wonder what they looked like day 10…May 10, 2008 at 3:56 pm #1432603
News from Philmont is that in 2008 they will carry fuel canisters first time (isopro/butane). For our crews this means we just might not have to carry all of our fuel for the entire 10 days. The Tooth of Time Traders website says that a few of the backcountry trading posts will carry fuel canisters. In the past they have only carried white gas and Coleman specific canisters.
More good news about carrying a light pack at Philmont.May 10, 2008 at 4:30 pm #1432605
Joe WestingMember
At the Tooth of Time Traders website they claim that canister stoves are less fuel efficient than liquid fuel stoves. They say that it takes 3 8-oz canisters to boil the same amount of water as 1 22-oz fuel bottle. I had always heard that canister stoves were actually more efficient than liquid fuel stoves.
At the bottom of the page they list burn times and boil times for many common canister and liquid fuel stoves.
MSR Whisperlite (very efficient white gas stove) – 136 min burn time per 20-oz bottle – 3.9 min boil time for 1 L –
20/136 = 0.147 oz per minute – 3.9(0.147) = 0.574 oz per L
MSR Pocket Rocket (efficient canister stove) – 60 min burn time per 8-oz canister – 3.5 min boil time for 1 L
8/60 = 0.133 oz per minute – 3.5(0.133) = 0.466 oz per L
According to my calculations, the MSR Pocket Rocket (canister stove) would be more efficient than the liquid fuel MSR Whisperlite. In addition, the Pocket Rocket would be lighter (3 oz. vs 11 oz.), more reliable, cheaper, and simpler to use. I am very glad that Philmont is carrying canisters, and I wish they stocked canisters when I went to Philmont :( If I messed up my calculations please let me know.
edit: another factor that I just thought of is canister weight vs fuel bottle weight. You could possibly be carrying more dead weight with used canisters but I don't think it would not be significant if large canisters were used.May 10, 2008 at 10:25 pm #1432646
Hi Phil and Peter,
I tried to do an analysis a couple of years ago, it's below. The only consideration is that the isopropane may have greater difficulties at altitude.
Here's the analysis, any feedback is appreciated.
(I've updated the chart as a gif so it is easier to read)
Feedback appreciated.
MikeBMay 11, 2008 at 4:55 am #1432664
Hi Mike. You've done a little more detail work than I have on the weight comparison. But your calculations are convincing to me. A canister stove and fuel could be half the weight of a white gas alternative.
We'll have one night at about 11,000' elevation. We probably won't be cooking at that dry camp anyway. (We'll have our hot meal for lunch that day where we have better access to water).
At the Tooth of Time Traders website I sense an assumption around boiling gallons of water for a meal. Our crews of 9 each plan to boil 2 x 2 quart pots for cooking and cleaning at our one hot meal each day. We might have to heat one more pot for cleaning. Since all our cooking will be boil, soak, and set our hot water requirements are significantly reduced. Each crew will use 2 x MSR Windpro stoves with a well fitting foil windscreen.
Even if the canisters suffer some lost efficiency with altitude do these assumptions make sense?
– Lower average weight for canister stoves vs. white gas
– Adequate stove output with canister stoves
– Simpler operation & no maintenance hassle for canister stoves vs. white gasMay 11, 2008 at 9:32 am #1432700
Yes they make sense Phil.
My primary concern with canisters would be availability at the back country trading posts. I expect they will have them, but….. If you depend upon that and are down to your last canister and they're out…. Cold hawaiian chicken doesn't sound so great.
As another plus for canisters, I have a minor concern about the carrying of liquid fuel: If it leaks out it may cause an interesting delima if carried inside someone's pack. If a canister leaks (ala dirt was allowed to get in the valve the last time it was used), you lose the gas but it disperses pretty quickly.May 11, 2008 at 10:22 am #1432712

Mike – great analysis (much better than mine)
Phil – I don't think canister stove efficiency would be noticeably decreased at only 11,000 feet. From what I have read, I am pretty sure altitude only becomes a serious factor until you get much higher (greater than 14000 feet) but please correct me if I am wrong.May 11, 2008 at 12:13 pm #1432734
Peter, I think you're right. I've used canisters at about 10K elevation before. Any loss in efficiency is negligible for the amount of time we'll be at altitude.May 11, 2008 at 1:27 pm #1432740
Phil (and others)
are you guys turkey bagging?May 11, 2008 at 1:50 pm #1432743
Mike, we will be cooking in a turkey bag (those mylar film cooking bags that you find at the grocery store). At the least we will use a plastic bag of some sort to cook everything. As we've discussed before the huge benefit is to eliminate dishwashing. Next, you gain fuel efficiency by never simmering food on the stove.
My last decision is whether to cobble together an envelope from Reflectix. Our shakedown hikes have been warm weather. Even though Reflectix isn't the most amazing insulation it works well for the application. Only a couple of ounces of material should be enough to cook dinner for 9.
What is everyone's experience with turkey baggin'? Do you use insulation?May 11, 2008 at 2:38 pm #1432749
Curt WardMember
In 2006 we cooked all our dinners in turkey bags and will do the same again in 2008. We use the heavy duty Reynolds bags without any tears or spills. We pack one for each meal and do not try to reuse them. We use them during our training treks and the Scouts get very comfortable using them and they love the cleanup.
If you want to practice on a smaller scale, use a heavy duty freezer bag. There are some great posts on this subject on the philmontforum and freezerbagcooking.
Have fun,

> The only consideration is that the isopropane may have greater difficulties at altitude.
If anything, the canisters will work better at altitude, all other things being equal. In reality, altitude has very little effect on a canister stove BY ITSELF.
But with altitude comes cold, and upright canister stoves do have a problem when the temperature gets near freezing. The butane stops boiling at -0.5 C. That's when you switch to a remote canister stove and use the canister inverted (or use a Powermax).
Yes, canister stoves are more fuel-efficient than liquid fuel stoves. That has been proven time and again.
The chance of getting dirt in the valve is miniscule, especially if you keep the little plastic cap which comes with the canister, and always put it back on.May 13, 2008 at 1:52 pm #1433095
We are going to Philmont this year and all of our participants have been working to get their pack weights down. This site is one of the resources that they have been using to learn about new gear and ways to reduce weight.
While some Scouts in the past may not have paid much attention to pack weight, that philosophy is changing. Doug Prosser and others have helped spread the word on the benefits of lighter gear. Having more fun on a trek because your pack is much lighter is certainly a major benefit.
Thanks for making a special area for us to share specifics.
29 days and countingMay 13, 2008 at 5:17 pm #1433116
Hey John, let us know how it is, and what trek you're on.
706-H4May 13, 2008 at 6:31 pm #1433131
John, that is great to hear. Please fill us in on the trek.
8 weeks to go for us.
Go light. Have more fun.

We've used "cooking" (if that's what you call re-hydrating with hot water) in Ziploc bags in '99 and '05 with great success.
Everyone eats all of their food, finger-washes their bowls with their drinking water and chugs the "wash" water from their bowls (not as bad as it sounds). One of the youth licks the serving spoon clean. Washing dishes then was next to no work at all, with the result of a little soapy grey water down the sump.
The net result though was that we've carried the yum-yum Frisbee for no reason. No use for the yum-yum bag, because any left over food particles are left in the Ziploc. No use for the scrubbie because no pots to scrub.
We did double bag each bag in case of a puncture or leak (which never happened), but re-used the outer bag.
Some are concerned about freezer bags giving off harmful chemicals, but the Ziploc site says otherwise: http://www.ziploc.com/ (see their #1 FAQ).
Bottom line: Can't beat the fast clean-up, we save the weight of the extra fuel that we would have needed to boil all of the wash water, the extra weight of the bags was negligible, the time savings was great, everyone in the crews loved the system (or got used to it), and it worked VERY well on both treks.
Now all we need to do is convince the Ranger that we don't need to carry the yum-yum Frisbee…May 14, 2008 at 5:59 am #1433190
We're also trek 23!
Still refining my gear list but getting there. Total skin out is about 23 lbs so I'd like to shave some more. Some of that is comfort items (BA pad, slinglight chair, camp shoes) and a 23 oz HD video camera, so I'm not going as light as absolutly possible. They say advisors are 'on vacation' after all.

Going lighter is great! Better yet is having the FOM (fat, old men) drop their extra padding.
We've a council contingent this year. Since our time with the entire crew together is limited, we've pushed hard for lighter gear options. Still, we'll have Scouts going on the trail with 25-35 base weight. It's hard to get parents to buy in to lighter options when they think that Johnny will only make ONE backpacking trip (Philmont) rather than making more trips in the future. Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy (more weight = less fun = only do it once).
623-J1 Trek 23!May 14, 2008 at 6:44 am #1433195
From a FFSOM (formerly fat, still old man) I couldn't agree more. I dropped about 25 in the past year so I figure I'm slack packing this trip.May 14, 2008 at 7:53 am #1433202
John and Ed, isn't it a small world! Y'all will have to let us know how Trek 23 goes. We start 3 weeks after you Ed.
Our Scouts and adults have always thought me a bit zealous about lightweight backpacking. But as we have been training for Philmont it is starting to make sense to them.
I've been wheeling and dealing the last 2 years to find discount sleeping bags and packs plus used gear. We've been able to make some gear available. We charge $50 for a bag or pack. That money goes to the troop. Some of the gear is loaned if finances require it. I've found it works well to politely ask for any deals available to help Scouts. Obviously, some families can handle the cost. But we have made lightweight gear within reach for 2 crews this year.
Something that's developed quite by accident is that our two crews will be using exclusively Tarptents. 5 of our 6 dads bought a TT Squall2. I'm the 6th and already had a Squall. My son will share the Squall with a buddy. I'm going to use a borrowed TT Virga. (Remember that Philmont requires a tent rather than a tarp. Tarptents are a good fit.)
Most of our dads will share the TT with a son. The troop replaced two old and heavy REI two-man tents with two TT Rainshadow2, a 3-man shelter.
We've made many changes from our troop's prior Philmont treks. This will be my first trip to Philmont. I am eagerly looking forward to our time there.
John, my base SO weight is about 14 pounds. It would make an even bigger difference if I could lose 10 pounds in the next 8 weeks. HA HA.
Some of the other changes we've made this year thanks to a lot of good input from Doug Prosser, Mike Barney, and others:
Moved to 2 MSR Windpro canister stoves for each crew.
Using 2 aluminum 2-quart pots for each crew (with lid and handle).
Substituting a 1 foot square of fiberglass screen for the sump frisbee.
Providing our own 10' x 12' Campmor silnylon tarp for the dining fly.
Using our own Triptease cord for dining fly guylines.
Bringing our own stuff sack and light cord for hoisting a smellables bag.
Counting on the bear bags and lines to be the only Philmont provided gear.
Lightening our first aid kits to a reasonable selection.
Encouraging everyone to use either 1L disposable (i.e. Aquafina, Dasani) water bottles or PlatypusMay 14, 2008 at 10:40 am #1433234
We share philosophies and gear choices. I'm using a GG squall classic, my son is in a TT Rainshadow 2 and we're using the same stoves and a lightweight dining fly, ropes, stakes and water containers. Like your idea of the screen instead of frisbee. Hope the ranger agrees.
I could go lighter, but we don't have many long hiking days so I added some comfort items. I expect our gear will be lighter than most, although it seems like more scouters are getting on the lightweight bandwagon.
What are you all doing for shoes/boots?
I'll drop you a line when we return.

Ok so I've decided to give this mock thing a shot. I'm working on the assumption that we will target the o-line heavily during free agency. I expect us to sign at least one reasonably high-priced Center or Guard and then add some depth as well. So with that in mind...here goes:

2. Christian Jones, LB, Florida State
3. Donte Montcrief, WR, Mississippi

Hello friends,
I am in the process of getting two cedar hives (10 frame, 5 mediums per) and am very excited.
I love this forum so far and yet still find myself confused on a breed. First off I love to learn and will do what it takes to make good decisions. With that being said:
Russians or Italians? I am worried about swarming, but love the other aspects of Russians. Out of 10 search results on the topic, it's 5/5 folks liking one or the other. I'm not sure which direction. I am in Utah, it's cold here in the winter, and hot dry summers. I have great water source and lots of pollen..
I also want to add that I do not want to use chemicals on anything. I'd like to be as natural as possible.
Thank you for any insight!
Best- dallas

GWAPT passed...
I'm not aspiring to be a pentester and I don't think 542 will help someone go from zero to pro overnight. It does provide good starting foundations though and there was broad coverage on different subject areas and lots of tools. I'd guess that doing PWB would be more "fun," but 542 was a good experience nonetheless. Kevin Johnson brought it all together quite well.
So that said, I have a spare GWAPT practice exam for someone who has never taken a GIAC practice (or real) exam before. I know SANS courses and GIAC certification attempts aren't cheap, so instead of passing it to someone in the SANS Advisory Board or another forum where I've given away practice tests before, I figure I'd give someone here a shot at it. So for a little fun, here are the rules:
- You have never taken a GIAC exam before (I'm relying on your sense of honor here).
- You must send your request to my email address encrypted with my GPG key.
- Determine the OS and its version that my website is running on.
- Determine the RFC1918 address space the server is sitting in.
I'm not inviting a pentest or simulated / real attack, just merely a casual scan and guess-work with your favorite interception proxy (if that's how you roll). No exploits allowed, thank you very much. I haven't patched in seven years (...just kidding). If you can't find the answers, just pat yourself on the back for trying (not as if I could do any better) and email me your encrypted request.
Hopefully-useful stuff I've written: http://kimiushida.com/bitsandpieces/articles/

I don't see any category for cathedral windows.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I don't see any category for cathedral windows.
This is wonderful! Thank you.
With the old QB we used to be able to save a thread in our profile (which I think was called Bookmarking). Is there a way to do this on this new QB? I would appreciate help.
Just discovered this gallery this morning. Thank you for your hard work. These things take time to create.

welcome from southern oregon
Hello...I'm looking to trade my smith & wesson 9mm. I recently got my permit and such..This gun is too heavy to be a carry gun...I really dont like glocks....my question is...what do you think about Kahr 9mm or possibly a skyy. Both of these guns are light weight. I have read reviews on both, and they both seem to have people that like em, and dislike em...what are your thoughts ?...thanks, Jessie
Welcome.....did you look at the thread started by cclaxton on Kahr's ????????????
Welcome......you don't say what S&W model you have now?......JJ
Hi guys, No I havent seen his post..But I will look after this.... Its model # 915. Thanks, jess.
What don't you like about Glocks? A Kahr is very similar to Glock in it's operation. If the grip is too large that's one thing, it it's something else the Kahr might not be a good option.

beautiful small apartment with kitchen - very warm - 4/5 *
schöne kleine Wohnung mit Küche - sehr warm - 4/5*
This apartment was very nice, clean and in a great location! It is perfect for a couple. Everything you need is within walking distance. Many cafés and restaurants in the neighbourhood. Nice little supermarket across the street. We sure had a great time in Budapest!
wonderful place to have a rest after a long day walking. perfect!
The apartment was exactly as one would expect, the central, bright, airy, fresh and clean. We can warmly recommend this apartment to others. THANK YOU! Cecilia and Ulf
Lägenheten var precis som man kan förvänta sig, central, ljus och luftig, fräsch och ren. Vi kan varmt rekommendera denna lägenhet till andra. TACK! Cecilia och Ulf
A friend and I lived there from Tuesday to Sunday in august. Soon after booking we got an message from the owner with all the necessaries. At our arrival, we were meet by at very friendly neighbour, mark, who let us In, told us about the city, and showed us the apartment. Its very central and everything is close by with the easy accessible tram. We can only recommend to stay here! :)
we had a wonderful stay in the flat which is indeed central Budapest and only 50 m to the river. Everything was as described and Flora and her husband were very friendly and helpful. (Thanks to Gabor at this point for helping us with the bicycles)
There weren't any problems! We'll absolutely recommend this flat!
Susanne and Robert from Düsseldorf, Germany
Great Place in Budapest - close to the Trams, Spa's and historical locations in Budapest. Flora was great, would recommend this place!
Beautiful apartment, nice localization and all you need to see is very close! Of course, we'd recommend it :)
We had a great time in Budapest, with a one-year old baby, and this apartment on the Pest side of the Danube river was a good base for exploring the city. A quiet and "baby-friendly" area, still within walking distance to the city centre, or a few stops by the tram.
The apartment is neat and nice, and the host Flora - after responding quickly to our messages prior to arrival - provided us with a baby cot, a stroller and a baby chair. There is only one bedroom/living room, but we had our baby sleeping in the cot in the kitchen, which worked out fine.
There is a 24/7-open supermarket just across the road, and a number of good cafees and take-away outlets in the area. Only a 2-3 minutes walk to tramlines 2, 4 and 6 which brings you to the Pest city centre and shopping area, Nyugati train station (one stop only), Octagon or across to the Buda side. The apartment is only one block away from the river (but no view), and only 5-10 minutes walk across to the Margaret Island which was beautiful for jogging or a walk.
There was a good wi-fi internet connection and with a baby it was also practical with a washing machine and a dishwasher. The bathroom is small (but nice!). The apartment is on the first floor (one stair up, but there is also an elevator).
All in all, a practical, quiet and nice place to stay in Budapest for a small family of 3 like us, a couple or a few friends!
We rented Danube Rose Square Apartment. It was nice and close to all the sightseeing we wanted to enjoy. We had a good time in Budapest.

If you wanna check out hip hop-check out killah priest/underground artist........if you want pop rap check out the fugging radio. PEACE.

Suspect sought after unsuccessful 'smokescreen' burglary
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Police say a burglary suspect made several failed attempts to conceal his vehicle while breaking into the Diamond Exchange in Kingsport, Tennessee.
Pubic information officer Tom Patton showed us surveillance video where the individual tried to hide his car by using smoke bombs to create a smokescreen, but was unsuccessful. "Rather than seeing the smoke cloud first, we saw his car while he was igniting the devices. I don't think it worked out as planned," said Patton.
On the video you see the suspect throw out several of the devices, but only one worked and it provided very little coverage. "When people use homemade incendiary devices, smoke devices, or even explosive devices, often they're home-made and the person who is making them is not necessarily a professional or trained in the use of them. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't," said Patton.
But Patton says the suspect knew he needed them. "In this case I think it was clear he was familiar enough to know he was being videoed and that he was using the smoke devices to mask his presence there," said Patton.
Patton tells News 5 they believe the burglar left empty-handed after trying to get into the jewelry store through a fake window. "The particular window that was broken was tinted. You couldn't see through the window and once the window was broken, [the suspect] realized it did not allow them access to the building," said Patton.
Now police are looking for the suspect and are asking for the public's help. "We're sure vehicles were in the area when it was going on," said Patton. "We're actually surprised no one called in the smoke."
We spoke with the owner of the store, who didn't want to go on camera. He said it was the first time they'd had anything like this happen at their Fort Henry location.
Kingsport Police are still looking for the suspect. They believe he is driving a newer black Ford Mustang with fog lights in the center of the grille and custom wheels.
If you have any information, you're asked to call the Kingsport Police Department.

When at an intersection, something that is 'kitty corner' to another will be on the opposite quadrant diagonally from the other. If you had, for example, the emipre state building on the top left, the sears tower on the top right, the freedom tower on the bottom left, and the transamerica tower on the bottom right-- the empire state building would be 'kitty corner' to the transamerica tower.

What is Academic Standing?All students are required to maintain a 2.00 Cumulative Grade Point Average ("CGPA") in their academic courses in order to remain in Good Academic Standing at UFV. Students cannot graduate from an academic credential at UFV with a CGPA below 2.00.
I've received a UFV Notice of Academic Standing email, what does this mean?All students have their Academic Standing calculated at the end of every semester after grades have been reported. If you have received a UFV Notice of Academic Standing, your CGPA dropped below 2.00 in the previous semester, you are no longer in Good Academic Standing, and you should plan to return to Good Academic Standing as soon as possible.Students placed on probation have a 10-credit registration restriction applied to their next semester prior to registration.
How can I return to Good Academic Standing?You can return to Good Academic Standing from any of the levels of probation by raising your CGPA to a minimum of 2.00.
How does my Academic Standing affect my academic career at UFV?Academic Warning, Academic Probation, and Continued Probation are levels of academic probation. If you have been placed on probation you will have a notation placed on your permanent record and you may not register in more than 10 credits in your next semester.If you have received a Notice to Withdraw from, for example, a Fall semester on or about January 2 your standing will change to Required to Withdraw. You will be then be withdrawn from your Winter classes and your fees will be refunded.After two semesters you may reapply to any program at the University of the Fraser Valley. If you are readmitted you will have two semesters in which to raise your CGPA to 2.00 or above or be Required to Withdraw a second time.
How long can I stay on probation?If both your CGPA and Semester GPA continue to be below 2.00 you will move to the next level of probation and will eventually be Required to Withdraw. You may remain on probation for as long as you need to bring your CGPA up to 2.00 as long as your Semester GPA is 2.00 or above. Please note, even if you have completed all the requirements of your program, you cannot graduate if you are still on probation or have been Required to Withdraw.
What can I do if I don't agree with the Academic Standing I've received?You may appeal your Academic Standing by sending an email to email@example.com. Within your email, you must state the reasons why you believe the Academic Standing you received is incorrect.
What can I do if I need to take more than 10 credits per semester?If you believe you have good reasons to increase your 10 credit registration maximum, you are required to meet with an Advisor to go over your academic plan. You may then request an adjustment to your credit maximum by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and cc'ing the Advisor with whom you met. In your email you must state the number of credits you are requesting and why an increase to the credit maximum is academically in your best interest. Requests for a change to the 10 credit registration maximum are only applicable to your next semester and will need to be re-submitted each semester.

Howdy all!
Most of you know, I don't like to post looking to make a sale ... I'm pretty much a no-pressure kind of salesperson. However, I've had 3 or 4 people ask about getting a set of my chest lights, and have run into two problems:
1) I'm out of circuit boards.
2) One of the parts I use in my design is now obsolete. I can get some still, but they cost me more thabn twice as much as I used to pay, and a suitable replacement hasn't turned-up yet (otherwise, I'd re-design my circuit to accomodate it).
So, with that said, I'm looking to see how many people are interested in purchasing a set of chest lights in the near future. I'm only looking for those with a serious interest, as I can't afford to front too much money and have parts sitting in the garage right now. As I said, my parts cost has gone up a bit; however, I'm looking at selling these at the existing price, $80 + shipping. This is the same circuit I've been selling for about 6 years now, and with my current situation in acquiring parts, it may be time to wrap it up.
So, if anyone is interested in buying a chest light set within the next month or so, e-mail me and I'll add you to the list. If you have any questions, feel free to post here or e-mail me off-board.

Hi - beautiful spring day here in NorCal - high 60's and the bees are getting busy! I have two hives that consist of double deeps plus one honey super and I'm wondering what to do about the super going into spring. Normally around here people winter in just double deeps, but my hives didn't have a lot of stores going into winter so I left on a partially full super. Both clusters appear to be in the top of the upper deep, with about 4 frames of bees in each now. Not a lot in either bottom deep.
My fear is that as the hives start to expand the queen will start laying in the super. I could 1) pull the super, 2) add a QE to keep her out, or 3) do nothing. Any guidance?
I'm also curious about whether to reverse the deeps once things get going. I know there are some other posts about that so will dig around.

We have a very good holyday in Split. The appartment was very good. Thanks for Your good planing regarding picking up the key.
Nice Apartment, good place to stay, quiet and clean, very nice garden with enough shadow for hot days and enough parking space.
Shower Curtain should be changed.
We recommend this place.
Thank you to the landlord for the Spirali :-)
Our stay was just perfect. Clean and modern apartment, free pariking, very safe & quiet area, air condition, fully equipped kitchen, friendly hosts,... Two beaches - 2 or 5 minutes away which is very convenient if you are travelling with kids. But be sure to bring beach shoes for swimming. 15 min by car to Split. Supermarkets like Lidl 5 min by car. We enjoyed every moment!
Nice and good Place to stay at. Helpful owners. Lovely garden ande near to a fantstic beach.
Everything was perfect, the owners were very kind with us, and everything on the apartment was as it seemed on the photographs. Thank you very much.
We spent a very nice time in Split. The apartment is like in the photos: spacious, has two balconies and it is equipped with everything you need. In the vicinity there are several supermarkets and cafes. In the old town is about 15 minutes by feet. The hosts, Slavica and her father Tiho, were very friendly and helpful. True hospitality. Thank you for everything!
Everything we could of asked for . Host was great . Apartment as described . Bus stop just around the corner . All the locals made us welcome . Special thanks to Dzoran the owner of the Mexico bar .

All in all holiday great Croatian people great location great .We will be back . If possible could you thank Dzoran for Dave and Mary .
Nous avons passe un excellent sejour a Split. L'appartement est conforme aux photos, confortable et bien equipe, c.etait agreable de profiter de la belle terrasse et, par ces fortes chaleurs, de la double climatisation dans le sejour et la grande chambre ! Le centre historique est a environ 15 mn a pied, nos hotes nous ont fourni un plan pour y acceder facilementt. Nous avions choisi cet appartement pour son bon rapport qualite/prix et n'avons pas ete decues, mais ce que nous avons finalement le plus apprecie, c.est la gentillessr de nos hotes. Tiho, le pere de Slavica, est venu nous chercher tard le soir a la station de bus lors de notre arrivee et nous y a emmenees lors de notre depart, ce qui etait tres appreciable. Durant notre sejour, il s'est montre extremement disponible sans jamais etre "envahissant". Bref, un veritable et sincere sens de l'hospitalite comme on en trouve rarement !
We had a very nice stay. The flat is like in the pictures, comfortable, quiet, and the beautiful terrace is a really good point ! The very performing air conditionner (there is one in the living room and one in the big bedroom) was quite enjoyable by such high temperatures. Split's historic center is about 15 minutes by feet, the hosts gave us a useful map with the path to get there. But what we enjoyed the most, with no hesitation, is the extreme kindness of our hosts. Tiho, Slavica's father, picked us up at the bus station, in the late evening of our arrival, and took us there for our departure, which really helped us out. He always told us that he was available if we needed anything (he lives in the building) : a real and sincere sense of hospitality, but without ever being intruding ! We chose this apartment for the good Quality/price balance, but the true crush happened when we got there.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

When you're at a party, find a bottle of Pinogriggio, secretly blow a load into it, and watch in enjoyment when all of the drunk guests consume it. You then find one of them after, invite them to the "pants party", and slap them in the face with a nice slab of muzzarel, constantly hiding your identity with a godfather-like suit and mask.

5 Amazing Natural Hair Tutorials You Can Totally Pull Off
Who: Sarah Hyland
The Expert: Celebrity Hairstylist Ryan Richman (Instagram: @ryanrichman)
The Look: Long, glam waves
The Tip:
1. With a wide-tooth comb, distribute a smoothing cream through damp hair, like with Matrix Style Link Smooth Setter Smoothing Cream. Make a deep side part.
2. Blow dry 1-inch sections of hair with a large, boar-bristle round brush, spraying each section with a de-frizzing product, such as Matrix Style Link Turbo Dryer Blow Dry Spray.
3. After drying each section, roll the hair from the ends to the base and secure it to your head with a clip.
4. Go over each section with a 1 1/4-inch curling iron to add a bouncy wave, and set again with clips.
5. Release the clips, and use a flat, boar-bristle brush to brush the curl into a soft, uniform wave. Spray hairspray onto your brush to tame flyaways and to avoid static.
6. Tuck the small side of the part behind the ear and secure with a bobby pin. Spray with a finishing product, like Matrix Style Link Style Fixer Finishing Spray.
Who: Lupita Nyong'o
The Expert: Celebrity Hairstylist Larry Sims (Twitter @larryjarahsims)
The Look: Small, soft ringlets
The Tip:
1. Dampen hair with a warm towel to soften your natural texture.
2. With a small rattail comb, apply a setting mousse combined with a styling gel throughout the whole head, starting at the nape of your neck and moving to the front, creating tiny ringlets in your natural curl. (Larry used Smooth 'N Shine Smooth Olive & Tea Tree RevivOil Wrap & Set Mousse and Smooth 'N Shine Argan Power 10 Styling Gel.)
3. Attach a hooded or hard-hat dryer for 30 minutes, or until hair is totally dry.
4. Once completely dry, take a large-tooth bone comb and lift the ringlets to break up the texture for added volume.
5. Liberally spritz a shine spray (like Smooth 'N Shine Instant Repair Spray-On Polisher) to smooth out any fly-aways and frizzies.

Texas graduation rate 10th highest among 34 states
Texas has the 10th highest overall graduation among 34 states that are reporting the National Governors Association (NGA) Compact Graduation Rate for the Class of 2010, according to a comparison study done by the Texas Education Agency.
The Compact Rate shows the overall graduation rate for Texas public school students was 84.3 percent. When broken down by ethnic or racial groups, Texas ranks even higher.
Among the 34 states currently reporting the Compact Rate, also known as a four-year on-time graduation rate, Texas had the second highest graduation rate for white students at 91.6 percent and, along with Arkansas, the fourth highest rate for Hispanic students with 78.8 percent. Texas also had the fifth highest rate for African-American students at 78.8 percent.
When comparing the overall graduation rate, only the following states ranked higher than Texas: Iowa, Illinois, Vermont, North Dakota, Tennessee, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Virginia and Arkansas.
"Once again the numbers show that even with increasing the standards, Texas is graduating more students including higher numbers of our minority students," said Robert Scott, Texas Commissioner of Education. "But we still have work to do to move the numbers even higher."
The NGA Compact is a four-year, on-time graduation rate that emphasizes using actual student data over estimates. The Compact Rate is widely considered to be the best practical graduation rate capable of accurately comparing graduation rates across the nation.
In 2005, the governors of all 50 states signed the Graduation Counts Compact, and the Compact Rate became the accepted measure for calculating graduation rates. However, some states have not yet released results using this calculation.
Texas is considered a forerunner in the effort to institute the Compact Rate having been the first state to begin calculating and reporting a four-year, on-time graduation rate beginning with the class of 1996.
"The Compact Rate gives us and the rest of the nation a true apples-to-apples comparison of graduation rates in every state," Scott said. "With the Compact Rate we have a clear idea of the numbers of students completing high school on-time within the four-year window."
"Early on Texas realized that reporting a solid, concise graduation rate was important. Scott said.
Of the Texas students who did not-graduate within four years, 7.2 percent continued in high school the fall after their expected 'graduation date, 1.3 percent received GED certificates,
2 and 7.3 percent dropped out. Students who continue high school in the fall after their expected graduation date or receive a GED are not considered graduates in the Compact Rate.
The Compact Rate differs from other graduation rates in two critical ways: (1) the data is comprised of graduates who receive regular or advanced diplomas within four years of entering ninth grade, and (2) the Compact Rate is derived from actual student-level data, rather than the estimated student counts used to calculate measures such as leaver and attrition rates.

UPDATE: Victim describes devestating fire
BRISTOL, Va. - We have more information about the Bristol, Va. fire that cost three people their home.
The fire broke out inside an Oak St. residence around 5:30 a.m. on Sunday.
We spoke to the victims, who said they lost everything.
"We're still in shock," said Lorraine Tolley. "I was just totally scared to death."
Tolley lived on the first floor of the house, in one of two apartments.
She's lived there for about a year and a half. The other resident, in the apartment next to Tolley's, has been there for five years.
Tolley told us she woke up to a popping sound and found herself surrounded by smoke.
"Just smoke rolling outside when I opened the door just smoke rolling behind me and beside of me," she described.
She ran outside, Tolley said, and saw the other tenant calling 911.
Tolley told us the landlord was in the backyard watching the flames consume his apartment on the second floor.
"You see smoke rolling and fire coming from the top of the building," she said.
Next door neighbor, Marcia Tiller, saw the flames and panicked thinking they were coming from her own home, she told us.
She said she rushed everyone out of the house.
" I said get Katie so he got Katie and I came down and got my son and we got out and when I got to the porch I thought the garage behind the house was on fire," said Tiller.
Tiller's daughter is eight years old and her son is 17.
She told me no one was hurt in the fire.
Hours later firefighters continued to pour water into the house.
Tiller said it will be hard for her neighbors to rebuild.
"They lost everything they have," Tiller told us.
"It's scary and now we don't know where to go, we don't know what to do, when were going to eat, what were going to eat," said Lorraine Tolley.
We're told the landlord has insurance on the property, but neither Tolley nor the other tenant had renters insurance.
The American Red Cross gave them money for food and clothing, plus three nights in a hotel.
Tolley told us after that, she doesn't know what she's going to do but she's glad everyone made it out alive.
You can contact the Red Cross for more information about how to help the victims.
Their phone number is (276) 645-6650, extension 109.
The Bristol Virginia Fire Department tells us they are still investigating the cause of the fire.
The effects of the fire could be felt on Commonwealth Avenue.
A water main break cause water to flow across the street.
It eventually closed a lane of traffic outside of George & Sid's for about six hours, starting at 11 a.m.
Bristol Virginia Utilities tells us there was so much water flowing through the pipe to the scene of the fire that when the hydrant was shut off, the pressure caused the pipe to split down the side.
BVU replaced about seven to eight feet of piping.
Both lanes of traffic are back open.
