10/30/2010, Indian Kill
This morning we put on both foresails, decided the baby stay was too loose and tightened it up again and put on the staysail again. At least the staysail is easy to work with, and for once there was almost no wind. I hooked up the line to the backstay antenna while Bud ran the reefing lines. It all took morning to do these things and clean up the boat to get it ready. It's nice to have it back as a sailboat. We don't even have the extra lumber on the decks.
We were anxious to get off so we left as soon as we were ready, even though it was already 1:40 in the afternoon. Out on the river there was a strong breeze against us (of course) and not much help from the current or tide. We were only doing about 5 knots and at times less than that. We looked for a place to stay about 20 miles down river. We wanted a marina or yacht club because it's supposed to go down to the upper 30's tonight, so we wanted power for heat. I checked our "Skipper Bob" book and found a marina with a pump out (we need to pump our holding tanks, too). They said they monitored VHF channel 16, but this time of year we're finding that's not too reliable. Happily, we have the computer and internet access, so I went below and Googled them and found the phone number. I also checked out their website and it said they could accommodate boats up to 160 feet. The man at the marina asked me to call back at 4:45, since they close at 5. I called, at 4:45 we were just about to turn into Rondout Creek and go up to the marina. Bud had noticed a bridge in the distance. I was sure it wasn't a problem because neither the guide book nor the website had mentioned any bridge clearance. I asked, the bridge clearance was 56 feet. Our mast is 63 feet off the waterline. We weren't going there!
Now it was already 5 o'clock and we had no place to stop. I asked the man there if he knew of another marina. He said there were none near-by, he thought that the closest one was already closed for the year. He said there was a good anchorage on the east side of the river behind Esopus Island.
We headed down the river. I called Poughkeepsie Yacht Club, they had just finished pulling their docks. I tried to call the Norrie Point Marina but their phone was not in use. That usually means it's a seasonal phone that has been shut off. We started to plan to anchor. We got out a length of nylon dock line to use as a snubber. That's a line that's attached to the anchor chain and led to a cleat. Then as the boat pulls, it's pulling on the cleat and not on the windlass that raises the anchor. The only problem was we weren't sure how to attach the line to the anchor chain. I checked two of our reference books, but neither helped. So Bud suggested I call Jon and Arline. Jon described a knot, and told me to look up taunt line knot for better instructions. I found instructions on how to tie it on the internet. Then Bud asked me to make sure the end of the anchor line was secure in the anchor locker. I had to move two sails, two folding boat seats, Fuzzy's unused Pup-Head and a basket of miscellaneous stuff to get at the anchor locker, but I managed it. The anchor was secured.
When I got out on deck we were approaching the area the man at the marina described. He said we'd see other boats at anchor and on mooring balls. There was nothing. There was about 16 knots of wind coming straight through with no shelter. We continued to look for a likely spot. We saw one boat that might be at anchor, but it was well past the island. Bud headed towards shore, I went out on the forepeak and got the anchor ready to drop. Suddenly Bud slowed way down and turned back out towards the river. We were almost aground! The water went from 30 to 40 feet deep to 7 or 8 feet deep in an instant! At that point I persuaded Bud to go back about a half mile to the Norrie Point Marina. We had passed it, and there were still a few boats tied up, but there was no one around that we could see and they looked like pretty small boats. The guide said they had 6 feet of water at the approach and docks. That's not much more than our draft of 5' 8". Plus with the wind blowing towards the shore Bud wasn't sure he'd be able to maneuver to a small dock. It now seemed like our best chance, so we got to try it in the dark! (Oh, yeah, it was now dark.)
Bud turned the boat in circles out in the river as I got fenders and docklines set up on both sides of the boat. Then he sent me forward with a flashlight and told me to tell him loudly if I saw a dock. We still had 16 knots of wind. Happily, as we came through the flashing red and green entrance lights I made out their gas dock. Bud headed for that. I got off and got a line around a cleat. The gas dock sits right at the entrance, so with the wind angling across the river there is no protection. However, our slip at TYC gave us lots of practice in tying off against wind. About a half hour and 8 docklines later we felt pretty secure. Best of all, there was a 30 AMP working plug on the dock, so we even have power and heat.
Bud said he would just as soon not do something like this again tomorrow; I heartily agree.
I'll post a picture of the boat at the dock tomorrow, when I can see it.
Be safe and Fair winds to ya.
They were in stock in Buffalo - don't know where the nearest store is on your route though. Lots of advice if you Google "chain Snubber"
10/29/2010, Still at Catskill on the Hudson
Today was another day of work. This retirement thing is not what it's cracked up to be! We started before 8. We moved the boat into the slip where the crane is to lift the mast. We took the leaf off the dinette table and then pulled the table and set it off to the side to keep it out of the way when the mast is placed. The boat has a metal piece bolted to the top of the keel where the mast sits. It's actually called the step, I think. Anyway, we have always had trouble getting our mast tuned right (that is getting it held up straight and centered on the boat). Bud and I both looked down at that step and thought it was crooked. Mind you, we could have looked down at that step at any time since October 16, when the mast was unstepped. But no, we waited until an hour before it was scheduled to be put back up to decide that it was crooked and really needed to be fixed. We scrambled and got the step loose, cleaned it and the giant screws that held it in place and put it back in with new caulk. We broke the caulk gun doing it. Bud thought he might have been able to move it a little bit, as the screws went through slots on the step. The slots were actually fore and aft, and we needed to move it a bit side to side, so we're not sure if we changed anything, but we felt better for trying.
Shortly afterwards the marina folks came and set the mast. It all went very smoothly. Once the mast was up off the center brace, we had to partially disassemble it to get it off the mast pulpit and out of the way. Then they dropped the mast down through the hole in the deck and we had to take the tape and bag off the bottom and uncoil the wires and feed them through the holes in the side of the mast near the bottom. I did that, so I was below when Sean, who runs the marina, put the mast in place. I couldn't believe how they did it. Their crane does not move from side to side. They had tied the boat off so the hole for the mast was pretty close to directly under the crane. Once they had the mast suspended and down through the hole on deck to within an inch of the step, Sean tells them to move the boat, just a little aft and a little in towards the dock. They did, and they dropped that mast exactly in place! I would never have thought they'd move the boat instead of the crane, and I'd never have thought they could be so quick and accurate.
Next we had to pin back all the shrouds and the two forestays and the aft stay to hold the mast in place. If you're not a sailor, these are all the metal cables that hold the mast. After that, we could move the boat out of their slip so they could do the two other boats that were waiting.
For Bud and I the fun was just beginning. First we had to tighten all the shrouds. As I said, we've not been satisfied with the way our mast was set, so we wanted to do a really good job. I read one of our cruising how-to books and we carefully followed those directions. We tried to center the mast from side to side by tightening and loosening the top shrouds first, the cables that go all the way to the top of the mast. Our mast seemed to be leaning quite a bit to port, so we tightened the shroud on the starboard side to try and bring it over. After over half an hour of adjusting, we looked up the mast from the base where it was obvious that only the top of the mast was moving to starboard. The mast had a distinct bend in it about two thirds of the way up. This is not good. Anyway we loosened things back up, literally pushed the mast over where it came up through the deck and put some wedges in to hold it, and tightened some of the lower shrouds until we had it straight. We also took up on both of our head stays (the ones that run to the front of the boat). Since both of those having furling drums on them that involved a lot more work. While Bud finished those up and then tightened everything up evenly all around, I went down and reconnected the wires from the mast. I had to hook up the radar, TV antenna, Windex, tricolor light on the top of the mast, white anchoring light on the top of the mast, steaming light and deck light. Hallelujah, everything works! Then there was the boom, and the main sail to get back on. We ended up having Brittany and Scott help us with the main. It all came off so easily, still in the stack pack, but getting it back on was another thing entirely. Of course it got windy as soon as we started to work on the sail. At the end of the day, Bud hoisted me up the mast and we reattached the lazy jacks, lines that keep the main on top of the boom as it is lowered.
We finally quit after dark, which is when I took the picture. It's hard to see, but the mast, boom and mainsail are back in place. Bud was exhausted. We still have to reattach our reefing lines, put on both our headsails and hook up the backstay antenna to the SSB radio. I'm guessing the way things go that's another three or four hours of work. But then we can SAIL...SOUTH...where it's warm. (Did I mention it was pretty cold out there today?)
Be safe.
10/28/2010, Catskill, NY
Cruising so far has been a lot more work than we expected and more rewarding than we expected. We were up early again today and decided to try to beat the wind to Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill on the Hudson. Our first task was to extricate the boat from the line-up in Waterford. Bud tried to use the engine off a spring line to pull the bow in and the stern out. When that didn't work I tried to pull the bow in. In the end I pushed the stern out and then went down to the uncrowded end of the dock and Bud picked me up. The current there was stronger (we have to get used to those currents) and continued to push Bud against the dock. The only casualty was a crack in our fender board, but since we had only the Troy lock to go we weren't worried.
The Troy lock turned out to be the trickiest one yet. First Bud had a hard time holding the boat in the current at the approach (those darn currents again). Then there were only cables in the lock and they were so widely spaced we could only secure one. That's supposed to be all you need, you hold the cable at midship and let the boat slide down against the fenders. We've gotten into the habit of keeping the boat off the fenders, but with just two of us, Bud was holding the cable and trying to fend off and I was going from bow to stern pushing one out and then the other. Eventually, Bud ended up close to the bow with the cable and I fended off the stern.
Once through the Troy lock we really started to move. The current and ebbing tide (oh no, wind and currents and now tides!) were both with us, so the knot meter was reading about 5 knots and our actual speed over ground from the GPS was about 8 knots. It was a beautiful trip. I put pictures in the gallery of Albany from the river and a tug and barge we passed.
We were almost there when the cell phone rang. It was Jon and Arline, our new friends from Fair Point Marina in Little Sodus. They were on their way to Connecticut and had thought they saw us as they crossed the Hudson. They were thinking of stopping to see us at Hop-O-Nose, but weren't sure if there was a good route back. If they didn't come here, they said they would look for us on the Chesapeake.
We arrived at Hop-O-Nose at about 1 PM. We didn't see anyone around, so Bud brought the boat along one of the docks and tucked it nicely between a powerboat and a cross dock. We (mostly Bud) really are getting better at this. We walked up and found one of the Marina guys and he said they could do our mast later that day or first thing in the morning. They preferred first thing in the morning because they were busy shrink-wrapping boats for the winter that afternoon.
Bud started to untie the mast, getting ready to step it. We also took off one of the fender boards and put the Windex back on the end of the mast. We needed to pull the stern of the boat right over to the dock to do the Windex. I climbed a stepladder on the dock and attached it while Bud held the stern in against the wind. We also got all the hardware ready for tomorrow and finished the repair where the mast goes through the deck.
While we were working on those things the head of the marina came over. He had a message from Craig and Barb on Freedom Quest, who'd been docked behind us at Waterford. They hadn't seen us before we left in the morning and wanted us to have their contact information. So I gave Barb a call and we exchanged email addresses also.
Since Hop-O-Nose doesn't have pump-out facilities, we were reminded that we thought there was a problem with our aft toilet. We ended up disconnecting the line from where water to flush comes in through a fitting in the hull to the toilet and pumping air and water through it with the dinghy pump (that dinghy pump has been useful!). We got the toilet working, but you can imagine the mess it made. We had just finished cleaning that up and Bud was washing his hands at the galley sink when I heard water running. I checked the aft head to see that the sink faucet had been bumped on. That drain is slow because the check valve sticks (we need to fix that again) so the water was running all over the floor. And oh, yeah, we're down to our last tank of water and have to refill the tanks tomorrow.
Just as the constant work, repairs and reminders of repairs to come were becoming overwhelming, a young couple stopped by who'd come in after us and are also getting their mast stepped tomorrow. We chatted a while; they said they were going to shower, then go have a couple of drinks in the restaurant at the marina and invited us to join them. We walked to town, fed Fuzzy and then went to see if they were still at the restaurant. They were so we joined them for dinner. They are Brittany and Scott Meyers from Chicago. They had transmission problems in Buffalo and docked at RCR Yachts, where we had done the initial work on Earendil, and Andy, our favorite mechanic, tried to help them. They ended up staying a week while they shipped their transmission to Florida to have it repaired. Soon after they got to Buffalo, Bill Fleming, Commodore of Tuscarora Yacht Club, came by. He'd been following their blog and emailing them. He saw on the blog where they were and went to check up on them. He brought them food and introduced them to Todd Ciehomski from the club. Todd and his girlfriend semi-adopted them and gave them a place to stay for a few nights. Bill told them to be on the lookout for a couple from TYC heading down to Florida. Bill sent our blog address, but they hadn't had time to check it out before they came into Hop-O-Nose. Wow! We had a great dinner and after I asked them to come aboard so I could take their picture for the blog today. So Bill or Todd, if you read this, you will recognize Brittany and Scott who are sitting in our salon with Fuzzy.
We have read that it's the fellow cruisers you meet who make cruising so rewarding. Now we're experiencing that first hand. Three different couples all reached out to us in one day, and completely took away the pain of stopped toilets and overflowing sinks.
P.S. Please note that we have finally moved a degree south!
10/27/2010, Still in Waterford
We stayed at Waterford another day. Two boats left that were at the side of the floating dock that still had power and we managed to squeeze three sailboats in the space. The picture is of the line of floating hobos headed south. Lost Navigator is by himself on the end of the dock without power. Now we have power, but we're out of range of the WIFI. I'd rather have power as we have an air card for our computer and are paying for Internet access anyway.
We stayed for two reasons. First, our package again did not come. Second, we had been warned about a front that came through back home with 65 mph winds. The forecast here said chance of thunderstorms with the possibility of 45 mph winds with the storms. We inquired about the package and found it had been sent via UPS to the General Delivery address at the local Post Office. The Post Office refused it. Our very accommodating technical support guy at Racor redirected it to Hop-O-Nose Marina, about 5 hours south of here where we're going to have the mast stepped. I don't know if there were thunderstorms in the area, but although we heard some distant thunder it was a beautiful day here, partly sunny and warm. So we really could have gone on to Hop-O-Nose but it was nice to have a day off.
In the morning I did the laundry. I was thinking of doing that at the marina, but our guidebook (another Skipper Bob book) said the nearest laundry to Hop-O-Nose was 5 miles. This one was two blocks and the folks at the Welcome Center said I should just use one of the shopping carts, so I didn't even have to carry the clothes. Bud put some epoxy on the wood under the trim where the mast had been leaking, as the plywood there had started to delaminate. He glued and clamped it.
In the afternoon we again played tourist. I persuaded Bud to walk the other end of the Old Champlain Canal Trail. We followed it down to the Mohawk River, which had a dam and some impressive rapids. It was a nice walk with the autumn colors.
We've been talking to our fellow boaters, and two of them are having alternator problems. One boat out of Toronto has been here a couple of days. He will be here at least a couple more, he thinks, as his alternator is shot. Today he pulled it out of the boat. He is having a new one sent. The sailboat that left this morning is back. (We shuffled all of the boats closer and squeezed him back on the end of the dock with power. There are now 5 sailboats lined up. We're tied so close that one boat needs to have its bow in and the other it's stern out so our masts don't hit.) He has an alternator that also acts as his engine starter motor. It's working as a starter motor but won't charge his battery. He made it down to the federal lock in Troy (about 3 ½ miles). He was on the Internet searching for parts for his unusual motor/alternator. Our air bubbles that don't appear to affect anything seem less worrisome when you see the troubles others are having.
Tomorrow it's on to Hop-O-Nose, hopefully. We expect to overnight there, maybe even two nights. Then we'll set out and try to make some serious time south.
10/26/2010, Waterford, New York
We got a late start this morning. Actually, we got two late starts. The first time was after 9, when we thought the fog had thinned enough to see. We took off with me on the bow looking for the next buoy and pointing it out to Bud. This part of the canal is in the Mohawk River, so you have to watch for the channel markers. The GPS is not accurate enough to steer by - it would consistently show the boat on the edge of the canal or the wrong side of the buoys as we were proceeding nicely down the channel. Radar would have shown the buoys ahead like light posts, but our radar is lying down with the mast. The chart plotter is helpful, even if the icon for the boat is slightly off it does show you where the channel is and the buoys. So Bud was using that and I was using the chart book to decide where to look for the next buoy, but still we were almost on top of them before you could see them and if there was any distance at all between them you were going blindly. After less than a mile of that Bud said. "Let's go back. We don't need to be doing this." Just then I saw the next red buoy. "Can't we just keep going slowly forward?" This from me, the one who is usually ready to give up. We went maybe three more buoys when I conceded that this was crazy and we should go back. We turned around, and it was so foggy that is was almost as hard to find our way back. We left again at 10:45 as the fog really was lifting. This time Lost Navigator came too. At first I was still sighting buoys, but the ones that had seemed miles apart we could now see were pretty close together.
Before long the last of the mist cleared and it started getting warm. I took the bib overalls from my foul weather suit off. Then I took the jacket off and had on just three layers. By the time we reached the famous "Flight of Five Locks" that was too warm, but I didn't want to change. The locks really come one right after the other. The longest distance between two locks is .6 mile, but most the rest are less than a quarter mile apart. The picture is looking out from the second of the five locks when the lock was still full. You can get some sense of the valley you're entering. It's not a great picture because I was taking it with one hand while holding the locking rope with the other, and hurrying to get the shot before the bow drifted in too far towards the lock wall. I always have one hand on the rope and the other on the boathook, to push the bow off the wall. The last thing I wanted to do was get distracted and let the mast sticking out the front of the boat get over the edge of the lock so it got caught as we were lowered.
In short order we'd locked through all 5 locks and were in Waterford by 2 PM. We got through the canal in 6 days; we still had four days left on our 10-day pass. We have to lock through the Federal lock at Troy as we head down the Hudson, then we are done with locks until we decide to do the Panama.
There is a free dock here. The book said to tie up to the floating dock so you had power. There are also restrooms and showers. Wahoo! It really is pretty, but the power was pulled yesterday! And when we took a walk this evening and went to use the restrooms, they were already locked for the night. At least there's WIFI and it's still on.
We walked up to the post office to see if our Racor filter gaskets had arrived. We got there at 2:45 only to find out that the window was closed from 2 to 3. So Bud and Fuzzy and I took a bit of a walk along the old Champlain Canal. It was sunny and so warm that we were in short sleeves. I took a picture of the canal; it's in the gallery. I thought as we were walking that this is what it might be like once we get out of the cold, so we don't have to push so hard. A leisurely stroll in the sun, what a treat.
Then Bud reminded me that we had better hurry if we wanted to rebed the stainless ring where the mast enters the deck. We figured out that was the cause of our leak in Little Sodus. Remember the pot on the dinette table? We haven't had to deal with it because the hole where the mast comes though is covered while the mast is down and the life raft is over it all. But if we wanted to fix it we needed to do it while the mast was down. So after finding out that our package hadn't arrived, Bud went to do the grocery shopping and I came back and started working on the stainless ring. I was still cleaning the old bedding material off of everything when the sun started to go down. It was getting cold!
Bud came back with a whole cart full of groceries. There are at least two stores right across the Hudson (and the Hudson isn't too wide here) that will let boaters take carts back to the town dock. There are carts lined up like in the cart corrals. The stores come and get them on Saturdays.
Once the groceries were put away, Fuzzy fed, and dinner started, Bud came out and helped me set the stainless ring back in place with its new Boatlife caulk. We bolted it back in place, and hopefully, once the mast goes back up, the leak will be gone.
So here we are spending a third night without power. Tonight it's warm enough that we didn't even use the generator. We did turn on the inverter to use the microwave and charge up the phone and the hand held VHF radio. The wind has picked up, so maybe the wind generator will help keep the batteries charged. The solar panels might even have helped today! This whole thing might work after all.
10/25/2010, Lock 7
We did 48 miles and 7 locks today. It was almost warm and it was almost sunny. What a difference! We started out in the fog, but the fog gradually cleared and we saw the closest to sunshine we've seen since the snow day.
We had so much confidence in the generator (and the moderating weather) that we set our sights today for another dock without services. Last night worked out pretty well. It was frosty by morning, but we turned on the generator enough to take the chill off again and make coffee. Then we took off into the mist. We had just cleared Lock 14, so before Lock 13 I went down and took a shower. The engine heats the water, so hot water was no problem. Then between Lock 13 and Lock 12, Bud took a shower. His was a bit rushed, because at first I was reluctant to helm on my own because it was so hard to see the buoys. But soon it got easier and he got a shower.
The day kept getting nicer. There are a few more pictures in the gallery, both because the lighting was better and because my hands were warm enough to not wear gloves, so taking pictures was easier. It's very pretty along the canal and today I could almost see why people would do this for fun. The picture at the top of this entry is of one of the NYS Canal tugs. This was the Governor Cleveland. It was a good-sized boat and was moving right along, but didn't make much wake, so didn't jostle our boat much at all.
Our timing was definitely off, not only for the time of year, but also for the runs we ended up making. We had to wait in Brewerton to cross Oneida Lake, so we couldn't get as far as we might have. We passed two places that would have been really nice to stay, but they were either too short or too long a day for us. The first was Little Falls, the picturesque town with the 40-foot deep lock. We have been playing leapfrog with a guy in a homemade trawler called the Lost Navigator for the past couple of days. Today we ended up tied at the same lock (you'll see a picture of his boat coming out of the lock in the gallery). He told us he spent the night in Little Falls and they had 30 AMP power. Again, in the season they charge, but Nelson spent the night free. Another picture in the gallery is of the free dock in Amsterdam. It looks like a beautiful facility and they, too, have power.
We're finally getting the whole locking thing down to a science. We check in the Skipper Bob book to see how great the drop will be and whether the lock uses pipes, cables, ropes or a combination. We're getting good at getting our rope or whatever. We know when the lock is all the way down, because every lock has a line of zebra mussels that starts about a foot above the low water line. I took a picture of it, and that's in the gallery, too.
The one nice thing about doing this as late in the season as we are is that there aren't a lot of other boats to deal with. The locks are usually all set for us as we come up to them and the facilities that aren't closed are pretty empty. We did miss out on staying at the Schenectady Yacht Club. I called yesterday hoping someone would be around on the weekend, to see if we could stop there. They were there but they we pulling their docks out! We went by today and all the docks were gone.
The day went so well that we went on to Lock 7. We locked through and then tied to the downstream wall. There's a picture in the gallery of Bud putting a chafe guard on the spring line with Lock 7 behind us. Just after we tied up, Lost Navigator came through and tied behind us.
We're at mile 12.6, so tomorrow we have to go just under 10 miles and then do the flight of 5, 5 locks that take you down further in a shorter distance than any other canal in the world. I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm not promising pictures, because although it's supposed to continue to warm up, it's also supposed to rain.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 8, 2012.
Joan will facilitate groups of teens and local businesses to design and paint 15 community murals with the theme "It Takes a Village".
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 8, 2012.
"It Takes a Village" is a public art project to serve the communities in the Verde Valley (Cottonwood, Arizona and 4 surrounding towns), their businesses, artists, schools and youth. Local artists will mentor teen artists as they create 15 public murals throughout our area. Local business owners will offer their walls. They will collaborate with teams of artists, students and mentors to design and paint a mural around the theme, "It Takes a Village". The questions for the team will be "What does that saying mean to you?" "How do you see that in action in our community?" "What images and/or words shall we paint on our walls to tell the world how we feel about that theme in our community?"
These dialogues are crucial to bridge generations and cultures, to discover in depth the needs, concerns and the abilities of individuals in our communities. Our mural project will bring these expressions to life offering understanding and vibrancy.
As an artist/mentor, I will use my 14 years of experience in mural painting to run preparatory lessons in public mural painting for the team; size may be 10 - 20 members per mural. Businesses must have a wall available at least 8' x 10', the larger the better. This inter-generational team will work together to build a strong and vibrant community while they expand their horizons. Topics like sustainability, education, healthcare, economic growth and our precious environment will take the lead in our discussions.
The project will extend further into the community as we partner with local schools and after school programs. Business owner/community professionals will sponsor art projects with artists and teachers, perhaps addressing a business or community attitude (what I love about my community), need (what I need from my community), event (posters advertisements) or glaring issues (I wish my community would ……).
Funding will pay artist fees, promotional materials and paint supplies for one year of operation. This work will cause our community and its passersby to feel the vibrancy offered by these visual reminders of our connectedness and our caring for each other, our environment, our youth and our place on the planet. Our collaborations will strengthen our awareness of and respect for each others' needs and abilities. The arts will become a greater part of our lives as we educate our children and grow our communities with the arts.
The community will see the value of arts education adding to their vibrancy and sustain and develop art education and events in the schools.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Molly Sims Reveals Amazing Post-Baby Bikini Body (PHOTOS)
If Molly Sims still has 10 post-baby pounds left to lose, we don't know from where!
After the model mama posted super hot bikini pics from a girls' trip to Mexico, she has everyone wondering why she's recently been speaking out about trying to lose weight from her first pregnancy with son Brooks, born in June.
According to Molly, a thyroid condition caused her to gain 65 pounds during her pregnancy, and she says she's really struggled to lose weight. "It's been difficult, I'm not going to lie. I've had to exercise and keep a very, very rigid diet," Molly told reporters in January. "I mean, it's the hardest thing I've done — and I've modeled since I was pretty much 21 years old!"
Molly went on to say how much she envies women who seem to drop baby weight in a matter of minutes post-pregnancy.
"I'm still about ten pounds away and my baby is seven months. And I look at Claire Danes at the Globes and I'm like, I hate you... I'm jealous [of women like Danes]. I wish to God I could have done it that way. But my body just didn't," she said. Don't worry, sweetie, neither did ours!
Well, maybe in the supermodel-runway world, Molly is not quite back to where she wants to be, but we think she's even more beautiful than ever.
So enjoy that Mexico trip — have a postpartum margarita on us!

If you accept every single LinkedIn invitation you receive, you're eventually going to have quite a filing problem. But if you're too selective, you might miss out on valuable connections, as well as the good career karma that comes with helping other people. So how can you determine which invitations are worth accepting?
"To use LinkedIn to its fullest potential, you need to tap its power as an introduction machine: an address book in which all the entries can see and connect with another, to create a mini-network with you and the things you share at the hub," writes Alexandra Samuel at HBR Blog Network. "But that introduction machine only works if you are selective about which connections you initiate and accept."
To be more selective, Samuel suggests submitting each invitation to what she calls "the favor test." Before accepting, she says, you should ask yourself whether you would ask a favor of this person or do a favor for them in return. The favors don't need to be confined to business introductions that lead to jobs for one or both of you. If you would support this person's charity, visit their gallery show, or write a blurb for their latest book, that's a connection that's worthwhile.
Ideally, the favor test results in LinkedIn connections that flow both ways, improving the lives of the people at either end of the chain and all the people they touch in between. In other words, real networking, not just banking "friends" for the sake of ginning up the numbers.

For Herman Anderson, it's all about getting people to get screened for cancer. When he was diagnosed with Stage 2 colorectal cancer in 2006, he had not been screened before. And he was 62. He knows better now.
The first piece of news was ominous: Doug Russell had stage 4 melanoma.... the second was worse: The cancer had spread to his lungs.

I'm working on several programs right now, and have become frustrated over some of the haphazard ways I'm debugging my programs and logging errors. As such, I've decided to take a couple days to write an error library that I can use across all of my programs. I do most of my development in Windows, making extensive use of the Windows API, but the key here is flexibility: this library ideally needs to remain flexible, offering the programmer notification options in console apps and GUI apps on Windows and Unix-like environments.
My initial idea is to use one library that uses preprocessor conditional inclusion of the headers for windows and unix based on the current environment. For example, in a win32 app, console error message notification (while possible) isn't necessary; instead, a simple
MessageBoxA/W(hWndParent, TEXT("Some error message that makes sense in context"), TEXT("Application Name"), MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK)
would make the most sense. On the other hand, on linux things are a little more complex:
GtkWindow *w;
w = gtk_message_dialog_new(pOwner, GTK_DIALOG_MODAL, GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR, GTK_BUTTONS_OK, TEXT("Some error message");
gtk_window_set_title(w, TEXT("Application Name"));
On either operation, simple file logging with more information about the error (function, file, line, etc.) would also be useful in pinpointing the source and tracing the flow.
Moreover, logging should be possible: even when a function requiring error logging/notification is called, it should be possible to show the sequence of function calls in the program, if that level of logging is activated.
Thus, my initial considerations are to have a library that incorporates all of these features, with minimal overhead by dint of preprocessor conditionals. I think it would make the most sense to break this up into a couple structs:
- The "main" struct, which is passed to every function in the main program requiring logging, and contains
- A bitmask containing the status codes for which file logging is necessary (e.g., NOERROR | WARNING | CRITICALERROR or CRITICALERROR | CRASH)
- A pointer to an "output" struct
- A linked list of "error information" nodes
- The "output" struct, which handles printing to file, displaying message boxes, and printing to the console
- The "error information" struct, which contains information about the error (function, file, line, message, type, etc.)
This is just my initial thoughts about this library. Can any of you think of any more information that I should include? Another major issue for me is atomicity of error addition: it's likely that another thread might create the error than the one logging the error, so I need to make sure that creating and adding an error node is actually an atomic operation. Thus, mutexes would likely be the way I'd go about synchronization.
Thanks for the help!

I have recently had two questions involving a Telerik product voted down. Telerik namespace not found in deployed MVC3 application, and Very odd event behaviour for onChange on Telerik MVC DatePicker. I see nothing wrong with the questions and the only thing they have in common is that they are both tagged Telerik, a not too uncommon tag on SO. What is with this kind of behaviour? Is Microsoft one of the elite vendors that questions about their products are OK, but other vendors not?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
You got one downvote... This is not suspicious behavior, and it does not indicate any type of "trend". There is no Microsoft-led conspiracy against Telerik or any other products/companies.
People can choose to downvote questions for whatever reasons they choose. The entire meaning of a downvote is expressed in the tooltip that you'll see if you hover over the arrow. It says:
And since downvotes are merely an expression of the personal feelings or opinions of the user who casts them, one can only assume from the examples that you've shown us that someone out there thought that your questions were "unclear" and/or "not useful". (I don't think research effort is the problem here, but who knows? Personally, I think the questions are fine and wouldn't have downvoted them, if that helps.)
So no, there's nothing wrong with either behavior—your questions or the downvote they each received.
Downvotes are anonymous for a reason. To attempt to label people who choose to retain that anonymity as "cowards" is quite offensive. There is no guaranteed relationship between downvotes and comments. They are left at the sole discretion of the downvoting user; you can leave negative comments without downvoting just as you can downvote without leaving comments. There's nothing wrong with either.
There is something wrong with calling the users who choose to do so "cowards", although it does highlight quite nicely why it is important that downvotes remain anonymous. In particular, the likelihood of retaliation. Here you are on Meta complaining about a single downvote (albeit to two different questions) and calling the user who cast that downvote a "coward". Imagine what you'd do if you knew who it was!

Seniors in their last year of school escort first-year students to class during the "First Bell" ceremony, Niznechuiskiy Village, Kyrgyzstan, Sept. 1, 2012. First Bell is deeply rooted in Russian tradition and takes place each year on Sept. 1 to signal the first day of school. First Bell marks a rite of passage where seniors escort the first-year students in a ceremony symbolizing the start of a new school year.

Payroll Tax Rate Increase
The employee Social Security tax rate increased from 4.2% to 6.2% due to the expiration of the "payroll tax holiday" enacted two years ago. The rate was temporarily lowered in 2011 as part of the Tax Relief and Job Creation Act and was not extended in the Act passed by Congress on January 1, 2013.
As a result of the 2% increase, most employees will see a reduction in their take‐home pay. There has been no change in the 6.2% employer rate. The taxable wage base limit increased to
The employee Medicare tax rate remains unchanged for 2013 at 1.45%; however, an additional

I was searching the internet and happened to put in 3428, the name of the US Air Force Squadron at Lowry TTC in Denver, of which I was the Administrative Officer and then the Commander from 1962 - 1965 (as a buzz cut 24 year-old First Lieutenant). The student squadron had between 700 - 800 students at any one time, and a permanent staff of about 9 trainers, admin officers, clerks, First Sergeant and others.
I found some pictures posted from an airman who was in the squadron at the same time I was the commander, about 1964-65.
Anyway, they have a lot of meaning to me, and I thought I might just share them, also in the hopes that others might share some of their past, also.
Here is a picture of the squadron patch which I had designed - we had a contest in the squadron to design this.
And in color - I just found this on EBay where the patch below sold this April of 2011 for $2.25!! Wish I had seen the bidding, I would have bought it.
One day the First Sergeant and I were cruising the base dumpyard, and found a t-38 trainer canopy. We comandeered it, and turned it over, and some of the troops built a wood stand, and - voila - an aquarium in the day room.
I had this fence put up - we found some scrap lumber - to enhance and define our area. I was then told that it did not fit into the base requirements and we had to take it down. Aahh - bureaucracies.
The day room, where the troops (and I) would play pool.
I'm supposed to be the 6th man from the right in the flight cap.
We supported a highly classified mission - requiring a top-secret plus clearance. I thinkit is safe to say now that the troops we supported lived and worked as civilians in some supposedly non-friendly countries in small outposts monitoring atomic expolsions in the USSR.
Vietnam was just starting, and I decided to get out while the getting out was good - in August, 1965. The GI bill paid for my Master's and Doctorate - a good investment!!
Please share some of your past!!

Senator Dwight Bullard, D-Cutler Bay, rattled the Senate leadership this morning when – during his comments on a controversial education bill SB 850 - Bullard said that "someone in the House" had told him that "jobs had been offered in exchange forv otes" in the House. The bill pertains to corporate tax scholarships and the handling of application fees for scholarships.
Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, halted the proceedings and asked Bullard to repeat the accusation. Bullard said he would retract his statement but added:
"I do apologize," Bullard said. "It was shared with me… jobs were offered and placed on the table. All I know is someone said they were offered a job. It had nothing to do with this chamber."
Bullard said he would not reveal who told him about the deal. Gaetz sternly responded to Bullard.
"Senator you are an officer state of Florida and you took and oath to defend the laws," Gaetz said. "If you have knowledge of crime, you need to report that to the State Attorney today."
After the exchange, several other Democratic senators huddled with Bullard.
The debate continues and Bullard cannot now be reached for comment.

Drug Information for Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated IPOL (Sanofi Pasteur Inc.): DESCRIPTION
- PRINCIPAL DISPLAY PANEL - Vial
- PRINCIPAL DISPLAY PANEL - Syringe
- Liens externes liés à Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated IPOL (Sanofi Pasteur Inc.)
IPOL®, Poliovirus Vaccine Inactivated, produced by Sanofi Pasteur SA, is a sterile suspension of three types of poliovirus: Type 1 (Mahoney), Type 2 (MEF-1), and Type 3 (Saukett). IPOL vaccine is a highly purified, inactivated poliovirus vaccine with enhanced potency. Each of the three strains of poliovirus is individually grown in vero cells, a continuous line of monkey kidney cells cultivated on microcarriers.1,2 The cells are grown in Eagle MEM modified medium, supplemented with newborn calf serum tested for adventitious agents prior to use, originated from countries free of bovine spongiform encephalopathy. For viral growth the culture medium is replaced by M-199, without calf serum. This culture technique and improvements in purification, concentration and standardization of poliovirus antigen produce a more potent and consistent immunogenic vaccine than the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) available in the US prior to 1988.3,4
After clarification and filtration, viral suspensions are concentrated by ultrafiltration, and purified by three liquid chromatography steps; one column of anion exchanger, one column of gel filtration and again one column of anion exchanger. After re-equilibration of the purified viral suspension, with Medium M-199 and adjustment of the antigen titer, the monovalent viral suspensions are inactivated at +37°C for at least 12 days with 1:4000 formalin.
Each dose (0.5 mL) of trivalent vaccine is formulated to contain 40 D antigen units of Type 1, 8 D antigen units of Type 2, and 32 D antigen units of Type 3 poliovirus. For each lot of IPOL vaccine, D-antigen content is determined in vitro using the D-antigen ELISA assay and immunogenicity is determined by in vivo testing in animals. IPOL vaccine is produced from vaccine concentrates diluted with M-199 medium. Also present are 0.5% of 2-phenoxyethanol and a maximum of 0.02% of formaldehyde per dose as preservatives. Neomycin, streptomycin and polymyxin B are used in vaccine production, and although purification procedures eliminate measurable amounts, less than 5 ng neomycin, 200 ng streptomycin and 25 ng polymyxin B per dose may still be present. The residual calf serum protein is less than 1 ppm in the final vaccine.
The vaccine is clear and colorless and should be administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously.

CORNELIUS – President Barack Obama called the horrible actions this week at the Boston Marathon that took at least three lives and injured more than 100 others "an act of terrorism."
Two pressure-cooker bombs exploded during the April 15 marathon with Lake Norman-area residents nearby, some of whom were race participants.
Cornelius Commissioner Jeff Hare was one of them. He completed his first Boston Marathon. Bear Robinson, owner of Huntersville-based Hardcore Serious Fitnesss, also participated in the race, Boston's 117th.
Hare completed the race a few minutes before the four-hour mark. The first bomb exploded around four hours and nine minutes into the race.
Prior to the explosions, Hare said the race was going smoothly.
"It was just a gorgeous day in Boston," he said. "A perfect marathon day."
More than 27,000 people from around the world competed in Monday's marathon. It was also Patriot's Day, a school holiday for children who lined the route to give high fives to the runners.
Hare was in the finishing area, where runners are given water, food and medals, when he heard an explosion.
"No one really made a big deal out of it," he said. "We couldn't see the smoke from where we were and it almost seemed like part of the overall celebratory feel to the event."
It wasn't until a little while later that Hare and those around him began hearing rumors about bombs. Hare said "it really got pretty chaotic" at that point.
Robinson was even closer. He started the race at 10 a.m. with the first wave, and finished at 1 p.m.
"Everything was very normal, as I would have expected," he said.
He reunited with his party 30 minutes after he finished, then headed toward the MBTA train station at Hynes Convention Center, near the area of the second explosion.
"(By the) best of my calculations, we were standing directly across from the second blast area about 15 minutes before it actually happened," Robinson said. "By the time we rode the train back to our hotel and arrived at the hotel, it was all over the news."
Hare recalled a harrowing scene as rescue efforts began.
"We saw people starting to scramble for their loved ones because no one really knew where they were," he said. "(The finish area) was totally away from where my hotel was, which was right next to the finish line, and my wife was over there."
It took about an hour for Hare to get to his wife, and at that point, they weren't being allowed back in their hotel.
"It was really pretty chaotic and hard to get around," Hare said. "They were at the point where they had to assume bombs were everywhere. They basically just directed people to move away from the area. You couldn't go anywhere."
Hare was able to get a flight back to North Carolina, but wore his running clothes on the plane because he was unable to retrieve his luggage from the hotel.
"(It was) just amazing how they all of a sudden brought in hundreds of ambulances," Hare said. "I think that the reaction time of the local authorities was really great. They had police and fire and rescue there in really no time and they probably saved a few lives. I think it could have been a lot more."
Because of the race's distance – 26.2 miles – there was a mass of emergency personnel at the race and near the finish line to treat exhaustion, cramps and leg injuries.
While he was in the race, Hare said he helped a woman cross the finish because her legs were no longer working due to exhaustion.
"People really push themselves with heroic efforts to finish the marathon," which Hare said was "in such a contrast" to the "cowardice of this act."
Robinson said the entire city was on lockdown the remainder of the evening, by choice.
"When we ventured into the city (the next morning), there were police, federal agents and military oversaturating the streets for the safety of Boston," he said, adding the same scene was at Logan International Airport that afternoon. FBI and Boston police are still trying to determine who is responsible for the explosions.
Robinson returned home April 16. His work as a personal trainer had him in ideal shape for the race.
"The Boston Athletic Association does a very good job with putting on such an event," he said.
Hare said the marathon, ordinarily a source of pride, shouldn't have been reduced to a tragic scene.
"It was just the worst event to try to make any sort of statement," Hare said. "So why someone would do that is just unbelievable."

Here is Cinema Blend's definitive, once and for all comment on the 30 greatest horror films of all time. Will you agree with all of our choices? Probably not, but were willing to bet that some of your favorites made the cut.
Alfred Hitchcock was well known for not allowing any disrespect to the filmmaking process on the set of his movies, but in the early 1960s the legendary director was able to extend his influence to every theater that showed his would-be classic horror film, Psycho.
Horror fans love to argue about which of their favorite movies is the scariest, but a bunch of experts got together and came up with what very well may be the definitive list.
With Mother's Day on the horizon, we thought we'd take the opportunity to take a look at some of our favorite terrible horror movie mothers of all time.
Fan-made movie posters are usually a hit or miss, that is until you get a bad-ass retirement home involved.
Martin Scorsese has selected the 11 scariest horror films in the history of cinema. And because he is Martin Scorsese everyone should instantly sit down, shut up and start taking notes. But whats number 1?
The plea of Save The Psycho House is simply that. Its organizer(s) call on Universal Studios to restore the set and tourist attraction to its former California Gothic glory.
With all the mixed feelings about the current biographical films delving into Alfred Hitchcocks life, such as Sacha Gervasis Psycho-centered Hitchcock and HBOs Tippi Hedren-is-a-victim film The Girl, it was high time for something to remind us how great Hitchcocks legacy is. Perhaps A&Es series Bates Motel, with its promising first episode will break the mold and usher in a wave of legitimate Hitchcock reworkings, since you know theyre coming at some point anyway
Were still not entirely sure how Seth MacFarlane will do as an Oscar host at the Academy Awards telecast in February. The brain behind Family Guy and Ted brazenly attempted Hitler jokes while co-hosting the nominations telecast with Emma Stone. But this new promo for the Academy Awards is going with a more traditional gag a shout-out to Alfred Hitchcocks masterful Psycho.
In the new biopic Hitchcock, director Sacha Gervasi unveils the struggles Hitch and his wife and most trusted collaborator Alma Reville faced in bringing Psycho to life. Of course today, this is arguably Hitchcock's best-known effort, but in 1959 it seemed too ghastly and too strange to get support from the studio system for which Hitchcock had made millions.
Who are the 101 Greatest Movie Villains? One movie fan came up with their own list, but rather than merely naming them one by one, they put together a supercut of some memorable movie scenes celebrating their choices for the biggest and best baddies from movie history, from Scar to Nosferatu to Chuckie and The Joker. See if your favorites made the cut.
The films have all been digitally restored and remastered in 1080p, with DTS-HD Master Audio. In addition to the bonus features on each film, the set will also include a 50-page collectible book filled with "storyboards, costume sketches, correspondence, photographs, and much more." The set will list for $299.98, but you can pre-order a copy right now from Amazon.
It seems that Hitchcock will be telling a fairly sprawling story about all the people working behind the scenes of the film, so despite the title it's not just going to be Hopkins's show. So if that's the case, are they going to release images of everyone in character?
Deadline reports that Biel will play Vera Mills, the actress who starred as Lila Crane in Hitchcocks masterpiece. Biel will join Scarlett Johansson (as Janet Leigh) and James DArcy (as Tony Perkins). In addition, Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren have been cast as the iconic director and his wife, Alma.

Disfiguring: Art, Architecture, Religion
by Mark C. Taylor
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0226791335, Paperback)
Disfiguring is the first sustained interpretation of the deep but often hidden links among twentieth-century art, architecture, and religion. While many of the greatest modern painters and architects have insisted on the spiritual significance of their work, historians of modern art and architecture have largely avoided questions of religion. Likewise, contemporary philosophers and theologians have, for the most part, ignored visual arts. Taylor presents a carefully structured and subtly nuanced analysis of the religious presuppositions that inform recent artistic theory and practice--and, in doing so, recasts the cultural landscape of our era.

A lot has happened since then.

A spattering of winter forecasts is coming in — the usual almanacs and now AccuWeather. Basically for us, they foresee a fairly typical winter — precipitation near normal, temperatures average to just slightly below normal. Cascades snowfall is expected to be a little above average. They also believe we will see a parade of good winter storms off the Pacific and possible Pineapple Express episodes.
We could see mild periods early in December, then cold outbreaks later in the month through January. A potpourri of weather events, so to speak. Local experts will present their prognostications Oct. 29 at OMSI. The public is invited.
Another winter with La Niña conditions is on tap, but it should be weaker than last year. The main aspects of this are that there is a tendency toward wetter-than-average conditions before January, with temperatures about normal, and then after the first of the year, we should expect cooler and wet conditions, which usually translates to a good snowpack and occasional bouts of snow at low levels.
Last month, Vancouver received only 0.62 of an inch of rain, which was only 40 percent of average for September. We were one of the driest locations in Western Washington. Seattle was 60 percent of normal and Olympia 95 percent of normal. Quillayute, thanks to a couple of real soakers, had 201 percent of normal rainfall. Nice living in the banana belt, eh?
The upper Cascades received a dusting of snow Tuesday and early Wednesday, but that won't last. At least it is a tease of more to come. If the weather pattern goes as projected, we could have skiing in full swing for Thanksgiving.
I threw a dart at my dart board on the wall for weather on Halloween. Looks like it landed on dry and cool. So maybe a crisp autumn night for the festivities, always subject to change, of course!

Members / nousernamesleft
I love music, i wouldn't be able to live without it. I listen to RHCP mostly and Led Zepplin, The Who, Beastie Boys, Pink Floyd, Simon and Garfunkel etc. and i listen to The Empyrean by John Frusciante almost every day… it is the most beatiful album i have ever heard, life changing. I consider myself kinda crazy and i wouldn't want it any other way the last thing i would want is to be normal. I do have a lot of problems though and all of it stop when i am listening to music, it helps me calm down if i am having an anxiety attack or just really i don't know. I wish i could go back in time and live in the 70's and 80's things seemed so much more fun and free spirited. Now most people around me all have the same life plan school, school, school and settle down. I take life day by day and live on sudden impulse. I believe in finding yourself and going off the beaten path and doing whatever makes you happy. I don't need much in life except love and i make the best out of what i have. All in all i am not another brick in the wall.

15th Marik Militia
Sarna News
|15th Marik Militia
|Unit Profile (as of 3059)
|The Polyphemus Division
|Parent Formation
|Marik Militia
In 3010, elements of the 15th Marik Militia clashed with the mercenary unit Snord's Irregulars. At the time, they were using experimental jamming equipment. [1]
Anton's Revolt[edit]
In 3015 the 15th took serious damage from Anton Marik's rebel forces.[2] They had been isolated on Berenson when Anton Marik adjusted their JumpShip schedules. The Fifteenth was present on the world, but couldn't get replacement parts or other supplies. With that in mind the 3rd Marik Militia and 4th Ducal Guard landed on the world. Rather than face them head on the Fifteenth conducted a guerrilla war and a series of fighting withdrawals. These tactics kept them in the field and fighting much longer than the rebel command thought they would. They lost a battalion of troops before they were reinforced by the 31st Marik Militia.[3][4]
Eventually the Fourth Ducal Guard was destroyed and the Third Marik Militia withdrew to Park Place. The Fifteenth pursued them, and after two weeks of heavy fighting the Third surrendered.[5]
Raiding Liao[edit]
For around a year's time in 3026 and 3027 the 15th Marik Militia fought alongside the Gray Death Legion in several raids and missions into House Liao territory, the Legion and impicitly also the 15th Marik Militia using Graham IV as a staging area to conduct their campaigns from.
By this time, the 15th Marik Militia was under the command of Colonel Jake "The Hawk" Hawkings.
During the attack on Sirius V in 3027 it was the 15th Marik Militia who was supposed to relieve the Gray Death Legion following the surrender of Sirius V, but Lord Garth of Irian and his Irian Guard arrived two weeks earlier to conduct the Tiantan Massacre and frame the Gray Death Legion for the deed, with the 15th still in transit towards the world.[6]
4th Succession War[edit]
Andurien Secession[edit]
The 10th Marik Militia and the Fifteenth landed on Xanthe III in 3037. Expecting to face the 3rd Defenders of Andurien, the loyalist forces were surprised to find the 5th Defenders of Andurien on the world as well. The fighting didn't go well, with the Militia units under heavy fire. The Fifteenth actually shattered when the Fifth Defenders hit their rear flank.[7]
Operation Guerrero[edit]
In 3054, elements of the 15th took part in the defense of a Word of Blake HPG Station on Berenson against mercenaries supposedly hired by ComStar, an incident resulting in the destruction of the station. Later, it was revealed the entire event was orchestrated by the Blakists to create a backlash against ComStar. At this time, the unit's command lance consisted entirely of Word of Blake Grand Crusaders.[8]
Operation Bulldog[edit]
In 3067 the fourth battalion still consisted of primarily Word of Blake troops.[citation needed]
In 3025 the unit was commanded by Colonel Jake Hawkins.[9]
As of 3050 to 3054 the Commanding Officer was Colonel Nancy Rezac.[10][11]
As of 3059 the Commanding Officer was Colonel Alex Farragher, holder of the Order of the Saber, who took command in 3055[2]. He was still in command in 3067.[12]
The members of the 15th Militia use long range fire to attack their foes.[2]

Bassist Ashley Purdy of Los Angeles theatrical dark rockers BLACK VEIL BRIDES was interviewed on the May 7, 2011 edition of the "Maximum Threshold" show. The chat is now available for streaming using the audio player below.Interview (audio):
"Fallen Angels", the first single from "Set The World On Fire", is slated to arrive as an early present to fans on May 3 via iTunes. With its arena-sized intro to its anthem chorus, the song is a mantra for anyone who has ever felt outside the norm and sure to become the battle cry of the band's devoted fan base, affectionately referred to as the BVBArmy. The video, shot in Los Angeles last month, was directed by Nathan Cox (MARILYN MANSON, DISTURBED, DEVILDRIVER, HIM).
The title track from the upcoming release will also be featured in Wes Craven's "Scream 4". The song found its way into the film after the band's loyal BVBArmy flooded the "Scream" message boards when a survey was posted asking which artists they would like to see on the soundtrack. Before long, pages of posts mentioning the BLACK VEIL BRIDES found their way in front of the music supervisor and director Wes Craven. That led to "Set The World On Fire" being featured in what is sure to be one of the biggest horror films of the year.
BLACK VEIL BRIDES is currently on the road headlining the AP Tour 2011. They will also be performing at this year's Bamboozle music festival in New Jersey and Rock On The Range in Ohio before heading out on Vans Warped Tour at the end of June.
BLACK VEIL BRIDES' debut album, "We Stitch These Wounds", sold nearly 11,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 36 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was released on July 20, 2010 via Standby Records. The cover art for "We Stitch These Wounds", a beautiful Victorian style painting of vocalist Andy Six stitching his infamous "wound," was created by renowned painter Richard Villa. BLACK VEIL BRIDES's "Perfect Weapon" video was directed by Patrick Fogarty, who also helmed the band's video for "Knives and Pens" in 2009. BLACK VEIL BRIDES is: Andy Biersack (vocals)
