TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — Eastern had five players reach double figures while earning the program's 15th straight league victory Monday night following a 77-19 decision over visiting Miller in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division girls basketball matchup at the Eagle's Nest in Meigs County.
The Lady Eagles (12-1, 10-0 TVC Hocking) picked up their sixth straight victory of the season in impressive fashion, as the hosts allowed just five second half points after storming out to a 46-14 intermission advantage. EHS led 28-7 after eight minutes of play, then went on an 18-7 run in the second canto to claim a 32-point lead at the break.
The Lady Falcons (1-14, 1-9) — who dropped their sixth straight decision — received a three-pointer from Rebecca Houck in the third quarter and a field goal from Twila Muncy in the finale, which rounded out the guests' scoring.
Eastern outscored MHS 17-3 in the third period for a 63-17 lead headed into the finale, then closed regulation with a 14-2 surge to wrap up the 58-point triumph. EHS also claimed a season sweep after posting a 78-14 victory at Miller back on December 10.
Jordan Parker led the hosts with a game-high 15 points, followed by Savannah Hawley with 14 points and Maddie Rigsby with 13 markers. Katie Keller and Erin Swatzel also reached double figures with 12 points apiece.
Jenna Burdette added seven points to the winning cause, while Taylor Palmer rounded out the scoring with four markers. EHS was 15-of-19 at the free throw line for 79 percent.
Ali Bray paced the guests with five points, followed by Sanae Dutiel and Twila Muncy with four markers each. Miller — which made just eight field goals in the contest — went 2-of-3 at the charity stripe for 67 percent.

Jersey Shore Summer 2013: Beach Guide
Planning a vacation or just a day trip? Patch has all the information on the Shore's best beaches
More than six months after Superstorm Sandy caused unprecedented damage to the Jersey Shore region, the beaches will be open for Memorial Day Weekend and the summer. While certain access points and facilities might be closed as municipalities continue to work on restoration, for the most part, the beaches will be operational. The only beach that remains off limits to the public is Mantoloking. The borough was home to a breach that split Ocean County's northern barrier island in half and was one of the hardest hit communities in New Jersey during the storm. So as you prepare to stick your toes in the sand, are you wondering what will be accessible after Sandy? Need to know how much it will cost to buy badges to your favorite beach? Curious …

Opening day for Susanville Hardball League has come
Chance Loflin, of the Dirtbags, keeps his eye on the ball as he hits it through the Snafu's infield Tuesday, June 26. The Dirtbags won the game 6-3. |
July, 3 2012 — The 23-year and older Susanville Hardball League had its opening day Sunday, June 24 at Memorial Park.
The first game pitted the Hacks vs. the Hornets.
The Hacks ended up coming away with the win 11-8, behind a strong offensive outing by the Hacks.
The Hornets tried their hardest to fight their way back into the game but the Hacks were just too tough and would end up walking away with the win.
The second game had the River Cats facing off against the Chupacabras Monday, June 25 at Memorial Park.
This is the Chupacabras' first season in the hardball league.
The River Cats would end up getting the win in dramatic fashion, holding off the Chupacabras 5-4.
The third game was played Tuesday, June 26 at Memorial Park where the Dirtbags faced off against the Snafu.
Bob Loflin got the start for the Dirtbags and would pitch a gem of a game, allowing three runs with five strikeouts on the evening.
Neil ReBell got the start for the Hacks and would only allow two runs by the time he was taken out.
The Dirtbags got things started in the top of the first when Aarason Perry hit a double, Chip Baumiller scored on the play making the score 1-0.
Perry would eventually score off a base hit by Jeff Ragino making the score now Dirtbags 2, Snafu 0.
The Snafu would get up to bat in the bottom of the first inning, and trailing 2-0 would score a run off of a Casey Williams double.
Brian Stevens would score from second base on the play making the score 2-1.
Josh Zaninovich would come in for relief for ReBell in the top of the third.
It wouldn't take long for the Dirtbags to get their bats to come alive.
In the top of the third inning, Anthony Dickerson would get an RBI base hit scoring Baumiller on the play.
Mike Warmbrodt would step up to the plate and hit a nice line drive through the infield; Dickerson would end up scoring on the play.
The Snafu just couldn't seem to catch up to what Loflin was throwing.
Going into the top of the fourth inning, they found themselves down, 4-1.
Steve Warren, of the Dirtbags, stepped up to the plate.
Behind in the count with two strikes, Warren belted a fastball over the 375 feet mark in left field, making the score the Dirtbags 5, the Snafu 1.
In the top of the fifth inning and the score still 5-1, Aarason Perry got up to bat and for the second time of the night hit an RBI double, scoring Baumiller on the play, making the score 6-1.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, it seemed like the Dirtbags could do no wrong, until the Snafu got the bases loaded and had no outs.
Then a line drive was hit right to the Dirtbags' shortstop, Chance Loflin.
He caught the ball and ended up tagging second base to get an unassisted double play.
Now with two outs and the Snafu's hopes of coming back winding down, Williams got up to bat and would hit a short fly ball that would land just out of the right fielder's reach and would get two runs across the plate.
The score was now 6-3 going into the final inning of play.
Brandon Blosser, of the Snafu, would come in to relief pitch and would hold the Dirtbags to no runs in the top of the seventh inning.
In the bottom of the seventh, inning the Dirtbags brought in Warmbrodt, arguably one of the best pitchers in the hardball league to close out the Snafu.
Warbrodt struck out the first two batters with ease.
He eventually allowed a runner on base due to an errant throw to first.
The runner made his way to second base due to the throw by the shortstop.
With one runner on, and two outs, Warmbrodt struck out the last batter and ended the game, the final score: the Dirtbags 6, the Snafu 3.

"This jacket rocks!!" 06/12/13
This jacket is fantastic. Well worth the money for an awesome Patagonia jacket. The fit is great for a slimmer body. The jacket feels great, keeps you warm and protected form the elements, and washes well. Two thumbs up!!
"Extremely versatile jacket" 04/10/13
This jacket is just great. Much more versatile and gets much more use than a thicker down jacket. It is perfect as a midlayer in the winter under a rain/wind shell, or as an outer layer in the other months. Packs up very small and is very well made. It is also fashionable enough to wear in the city without looking strange :D Patagonia has become a bit of a fashion brand lately, but without compromising on quality of manufacture, function and a dedication to reducing their environmental impact.Even though it is a little expensive, it is well worth the cost as it should last a long time if you take care of it.
"Best weight to warmth ratio I have ever experienced!" 04/10/13
This jacket is absolutely amazing! I live in Mid-Michigan and practically lived in this jacket all winter! I bought this and the MJ Scruffy Casella around the same time and in combination they kicked old man winter square in the chestnuts!! This jacket packs down to the size of a really large grapefruit and weighs less than a pound! My only complaint is the jackets lack of ability to repel water. This jacket will survive in a very light mist/rain but you will get soaked and cold in anything else. I found that this jacket can fit under my Casella though which repels water amazingly, so problem solved. Shooting myself for not buying the model with a hood!!! Also Pat's ironclad guarantee rocks!
"Great quality, Lightweight, Packable, and WARM. No brainer." 04/04/13
I bought this after my first backpacking trip, needing something that was portable but warm. I can't say I am displeased with my selection. The down sweater is warm in any situation, I especially love it over my R3 fleece or under my rain jacket. The fit itself does seem a bit large, but that does give me the ability to layer something underneath it (such as a fleece). The only thing that I regret is not getting one with a hood.
"One of the best jackets I have ever owned." 04/03/13
So I just counted, and I own 26 jackets. But I really only wear about 4 different jackets, and this jacket is in my top two. I've only had it for about a year, but it has been life-changing. It is insanely warm and does a surprisingly good job at blocking wind. Here in Japan, the winters are not terrible (unless you're in the mountains). I wear this thing from fall to spring and I'm never wishing I had another layer. If I go skiing or climbing, I'll add one more layer on top of this, but then I'm usually roasting.Also, this jacket is very very very light. You hardly notice you have a jacket on. Nuff said.
"Great, warm, comfortable jacket. I just wish it was a little more "fitted"." 02/04/13
I love this jacket as a cold weather, lightweight insulation or outer layer. It does its job well (blocks a decent amount of wind) and retains warmth like crazy. I think it's a very stylish looking jacket, but my only complaint is that it's so huge in the midsection. I have a Large ArcTeryx Atom LT and it fits so nice through the midsection (I'm 5'10", 200lbs), whereas the Patagonia Down Sweater Jacket feels like it just has so much excess material. Not nearly as sleek in comparison. That being said, I still love it and wear it often.
"Light, styliss, and warm" 01/31/13
I love this jacket for the following reasons:(1) super light weight, can be packed to inner pocket(2) very stylish, can wear this jacket without a shell.(3) Can make me still feel warm 30F and above.(4) Since it is so thin and warm, you can buy a soft shell, make a solid winter jacket.
"Awesome Jacket!" 01/30/13
This is iconic jacket in patagonia.It is very popular for many people and I realized what it deserve for the popularity.I think it is very stilysh and practical and even light-weight.Feeling is really awesome.To sum up, this jacket makes me happy!
"Really warn. Super light." 01/16/13
Super jacket. Very warm for it's weight and size. Packs down nice and small into it's own pocket. You can't go wrong with down. Im 5'8 145lbs and went with the small, and it's a perfect fit. Great buy, would absolutely do it again.
"Great jacket" 12/28/12
It may seem light, but you'll be standing in 25 degree weather with this bad boy on and wonder why you can't feel it. Amazing warmth for the weight- put a shell over it and you're good in any active cold weather situation.
"Finally own one, and 100% impressed!" 12/27/12
I've been eyeing one of these for a few months, and after taking advantage of the free overnight shipping sale, I am more than impressed. This jacket is unbelievably light, stylin', and super warm.For all practical purposes, the Patty is pretty unbeatable; I've never owned something with such a great warmth-weight ratio. It also packs to be very small, making it great for travel or overnight trips. My only complaint is the sweater's boxy cut. I'm a skinny guy, but I imagine it's pretty hard for most people to fill or wear in any sort of tighter/athletic way. But, this allows layering underneath while still being wearable under a shell.

I know that in order to make a nice and smooth landing on a Viper the FPM goes at the edge of the runway till the very moment before touchdown when we go flare and the airspeed on the final approach should be arround 150 knots or less. But what's about mentioned 'AoA staple'? How it works &.. what's that for actually? If anyone would be that nice to explain me this thing I would be really grateful.
Greeets from Poland
in advance.

The AoA staple lets you monitor the AoA during the approach without going heads-down. The top horizontal mark on the staple is 11 degrees, the midpoint of the vertical bar is 13 degrees, and the bottom horizontal mark is 17 or 18 degrees (can't recall which). This corresponds to the yellow, green and red areas of the AoA tape and also the yellow/green/red lights in the AoA indexer next to the HUD glass. The higher the AoA, the farther down the staple the Flight Path Marker (FPM) moves.
Ideally for approach and landing, you establish a (typically) 3 degree descent angle with 11 degrees AoA and flare to 13 for touchdown. So you fly the jet to a point that puts the end of the runway 2.5 to 3 degrees down in the HUD (reference the pitch ladder), then use the stick to put the FPM at the end of the runway while at the same time adjust power to bring the top of the staple up to the FPM. Adjust power and pitch ever so slightly to keep that picture until it's time to flare. During the flare, power goes to idle and a slight tug on the stick brings the FPM close to the horizon line (and consequently the 13 degree area of the staple) until touchdown. Anything above 13 and you risk scraping the tail, so timing is important.
Clear as mud?
It's actually quite easy once you do it several dozen times.

Hi all.. 1st attempted post
the lower bracket is 15 degrees AoA
Aim for landing is put the 2.5 pitch bar lined up with 11AoA lined up with the FPM at threshold for touchdown at 13AoA 500' down the runway
at 15 you get the low speed horn and the possibility of scraping the ventral fins and tailstrike ..

Watch this youtube vid
of a Greek Viper landing and you'll get the idea. When he rolls out before touchdown, that's pretty much the picture you should see (but try to flare better than he did!
). Every driver has his or her own technique but they all have the same outcome. You're not trying to put your head thru a 3 foot box coming aboard a carrier. You just wanna get it down cleanly and in a way that won't get the crew chief miffed at ya.

The North Carolina Healthcare Exchange (NCHEX) is a voluntary health information exchange (HIE) of hospitals and physician practices sponsored by the North Carolina Hospital Association (NCHA) to enable healthcare providers across North Carolina to share clinical data with each other to meet Meaningful Use exchange requirements, improve quality and reduce costs. NCHEX builds on the experience and technology of the North Carolina Hospital Surveillance System (NCHESS), created in 2004 as a public-private partnership between NCHA and the North Carolina Division of Public Health (NCDPH) to provide critical data from 114 emergency departments to enable the state to recognize and respond to acts of bioterrorism, disease outbreaks, emerging infections, and other public health emergencies. To date, North Carolina hospitals have exchanged over 115 million records regarding 19 million ED visits using the NCHESS system. NCHEX also uses the proven technology from CareEvolution, who provides HIE services in Indiana and for the South Carolina Health Information Exchange (SCHIEx) to link episodes of care across providers using an easy-to-use interface for caregivers.
What is NCHEX?
- NCHEX is a voluntary health information exchange (HIE) from the North Carolina Hospital Association (NCHA). The exchange will be open to all North Carolina medical providers to join and will actively seek to connect with existing RHIOs / HIEs / HIT systems in North Carolina by leveraging the NHIN Connect and other HIE standards.
- The exchange will support a secure patient-centric "Community of Care" view for providers.
- NCHEX will be developed by building on the existing NCHESS infrastructure to reduce HIE costs and implementation times.
- The exchange is planned to support multiple Meaningful Use requirements around interoperability for hospitals and eligible professionals.We are actively working with the state and other key stakeholders to make our exchange part of North Carolina's statewide HIE infrastructure.
Why NCHEX?
- Leverages existing statewide NCHESS investments to rapidly and inexpensively launch a statewide HIE.
- Unlocks existing data assets to pre-populate the HIE and thereby improve patient care statewide.
- Supports hospitals and eligible professionals to achieve Meaningful Use in a cost efficient manner.
- Supports sharing of information between hospitals, physicians, and other care providers.
- Connects with and leverages existing community HIEs / RHIOs to rapidly expand HIE reach and coverage.
We envision NCHEX connectivity that includes the following capabilities:
- The ability to assemble a patient-centric continuity-of-care record composed of information from all NCHEX participants, which can be displayed at the point of care via secure web access and EHR system linkages.
- HIE exchange functionality between providers to support care coordination (referrals/ messaging).
- Connectivity to the official state HIE when it becomes available.
- Connectivity to the state's immunization registry when it is capable of receiving data.
- NHIN connectivity in the future when available.
- Access to hospital inpatient and outpatient claims history including all episodes in North Carolina for the last 5 years.
NCHEX is currently in pilot phase with seven hospitals, three free-standing emergency departments and 57 hospital-owned physician practices or specialty clinics; we are adding several independent physician practices at this time.

After advancing to the Group AA, Division IV State Semifinals for the first time in school history, Carroll County's girls' basketball team lost arguably its most talented group of seniors ever. But don't cry for head coach Marc Motley, who will still have plenty of talent to work with in 2012-2013.
Everybody knows the Cavaliers simply can't replace Lindsay Martin, Rachel Dalton, Shyann Dalton and Emily Hiatt. But the strength of the Carroll County program is also reflected in the fact that Motley actually had to cut three players this season, the first time he's ever had to do that in his tenure.
"And we still kept 13 players. I've never had more than 12," Motley said. "It's just one of those things. The program is blooming and we are getting a lot of kids out. Unfortunately we can only keep so many girls, so we had some very hard-working kids that have been in our program six or seven years that didn't make it."
And while the Lady Cavs lost all its top guns from last season, the team still returns a lot of experience from last season's Region IV championship squad. In fact, Taylor Martin, Michala Hash, Cassidi McCann, Rachel Sellers, Hayden Caldwell and Brittany Willard will team to provide an abundance of senior leadership, while juniors Crysta Guynn and Megan Alderman were also integral parts of last year's postseason run.
"We lost an extremely successful group of seniors, but I felt like the reason they were successful is the group we have right now. They pushed them to the edge every day in practice," Motley said. "We are a lot different type of team. We don't have that 6-foot post player people can play off and we don't necessarily have a kid that is going to score 1,000 points, but I feel like we can put seven or eight on the court that can score. I think we will be a tough guard because we have so many other pieces that can score. We played a lot of kids last year and they got experience. I realized some of them will be getting 75 to 80 percent of the minutes that only got 15 to 20 percent of the minutes last year, but a lot of these kids like Megan, Crysta, Taylor, Michala and Rachel all played in crucial parts of games. I have all the trust in the world in that group."
Granted, this year's team will have flaws, Motley said. A small lineup will be even smaller to start the season as the two biggest players on the roster, Jessica Sheek and Sami Reece, are both currently out with injuries. Sheek could miss two months or more with a broken bone in her foot, while Motley hopes Reece will be able to return around Christmas.
"Obviously we have some holes with size, but this group plays so hard and hate losing so much they will work as hard as they can to be successful," Motley said. "The biggest surprise you are going to see is Hayden Caldwell. She has just really worked hard this summer and fall. I think she feels like this is her third year here and she is not going to let it pass. She has really played well."
Like Crysta Guynn, Motley said Caldwell can play three or four different positions, which will allow Carroll to switch up its lineup quite a bit when needed. Hash is also playing well in the preseason, Motley said. Last year she came off the bench and scored in bunches at times. This year she will benefit from increased playing time.
"Hash will get more opportunities. Last year she was in there scoring and she was getting maybe 12 minutes a game. Now she will probably be getting 18 to 20 minutes per game, so I would expect her scoring to go up," Motley said. "A lot of girls will see their minutes go up this year, and a lot of times that means confidence goes up."
Taylor Martin, McCann and Guynn probably won't see a huge change in their minutes simply because they already played extensively last year. Their roles on the team will change drastically, however.
"Those kids knew they were the fourth and fifth options on the floor last year because Shyann, Lindsey and Rachel were always one, two and three. Those roles will change in how I expect them to play, but the bottom line is Taylor can create her own shot so that puts the ball in her hands more than the others," Motley said of his senior point guard. "She is extremely quick and she is the strongest kid I have. She is able to take contact and still finish with contact. Her and Hash both do a super job of finishing with contact, which gives you two guards that shoot from outside well and can go to the basket."
As a sophomore last year, Guynn was an extremely versatile player for Carroll, averaging 4.9 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. She also contributed 33 steals and shot 36.3 percent from 3-point range to earn honorable mention all-district honors. With good height, she can rebound but also hurt teams by stepping out and shooting the three, Motley said.
Alderman will play the point quite a bit along with Martin. She's such a good passer Motley said he may move Martin to the two-guard at times to have both on the floor.
"Megan is as good a passer as has ever played for me and she's an excellent ball handler. She can find ways to get the ball places that leaves me thinking 'How in the world did that happen?' She sees the court great and has gotten quite a bit quicker this year," Motley said.
While Sellers is a bit undersized for a center at about 5-7, she plays much taller than she actually is, Motley said. That was never more apparent that in the Group AA Quarterfinal last year against Staunton River when Shyann Dalton got in foul trouble. Sellers came in and did a great job on star center Shaniesha Robinson.
"And that is what she will be asked to do this year. Last year if she got in foul trouble I didn't care because we had Shyann. This year she will have to play aggressive and stay out of foul trouble," Motley said. "She's an undersized post player but she may be as fast as any kid I have. She will run, she can finish in transition and she is extremely aggressive on the offensive boards. She is the one I expect to carry the load rebounding this year."
McCann will be counted to fill that role as well, Motley said. The senior is strong and an excellent rebounder who boxes out well. Last year she was inserted in the starting lineup halfway through the season because Motley felt like the team needed more size inside.
"I felt like she was one of our better rebounders and I expect her to do that again. One thing she can do is step out and shoot from the three, which not a lot of the other post players can do," Motley said. "She won't shoot 40, but if you leave her open she will give you trouble."
Motley said he feels like he has seven starters on this year's team that are interchangeable. Starting lineups will most likely be based on matchups.
Younger players new to the varsity include junior Kaitlan Farmer. Motley said Farmer was one of the best players in her age group a couple of years ago but a terrible softball injury set her back. The guard is just now recovering to the point of where she was as a freshman.
"She has improved tremendously," Motley said. "She may play backup at the point and some at the two. She is an excellent outside shooter."
Among the freshman new to the team include Reece, who Motley expects to give the team plenty of minutes when she gets healthy, and guards Maycee Cain and Rylee Haynes.
"I feel like both of them are going to see minutes," Motley said.
The Carroll coach expects a tight Southwest District race this year with Richlands returning almost everybody from a team that also went to the state semifinals a year ago. He expects Tazewell to be a much-improved ball club while Abingdon came on strong at the end of the season. Right now though, Motley is more concerned with how his team gels.
"We do have holes. We have got to find ways to rebound because we are not big. I do feel like we can beat people down the floor to get easier baskets," Motley said. "The next thing I am looking for is who is going to take the big shot late in the game? I have my ideas, but I won't to know who is going to take it. We knew who was going to take it last year, now we have to find out who is gutsy enough to take that big shot this year. But I will say we are running up and down the floor hard and playing unselfish after seven days of practice. I feel like right now we are way ahead of where I thought we would be at this time."

The one-woman show is a dramatic performance in which a teenage girl tells the audience about her exciting relationship.
The show was performed for the Lee County Improvement Center and Tupelo Boys & Girls Club Northside campus Thursday and the Tupelo Christian Preparatory School Friday.
Over the arc of the half-hour show, the tone turns dark.
"We talk about the early warning signs of dating violence and different things that can come up," said Rydia Vielehr, the actress portraying the show's sole character, Anna. "It's not about each individual warning sign but the pattern of abuse and how that pattern can show up. It's more about a lot of signs coming up."
The signs Vielehr is talking about include an explosive temper, constant belittling, physical abuse, possessiveness, mood swings, false accusations and extreme jealousy.
Tupelo's S.A.F.E. shelter is sponsoring the production as a part of its Dating Violence Awareness Month programming.
"I go into a lot of places and talk about dating violence and it's just a different way to experience it if someone is speaking about it from a first-person point of view, even it it's a dramatic production," said S.A.F.E. Community Educator Amelia Parkes. "It helps the audience experience it better than me saying, 'Don't do this.'"
After the show, Vielehr leads the students in a discussion about how to prevent dating violence.

If you want a compact sedan or hatchback that's both fun to drive and fuel-efficient, the 2013 Mazda3 makes an excellent choice. Strong resale value means it's a good bet in the long run, too.
If all-wheel drive is a requirement in your next compact car, consider a Subaru Impreza or a Mitsubishi Lancer with that option. Those seeking comfort over sportiness should look at the Chevrolet Cruz
In sedan or hatchback form, the Mazda3 is a nimble car that offers decent-to-good acceleration depending on which engine is under the hood. The base 2.0-liter 4-cylinder in i SV models is adequate for getting the car up to speed, while the larger, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder in s Grand Touring models makes for a surprisingly quick vehicle. In the middle is the new Skyactiv 4-cylinder, which boasts zippy performance and commendable fuel economy. All 2013 Mazda3 models feel agile for this class of car, making them more fun to drive on twisty roads than

Review this carBy Kjelstad (WA) on Saturday, May 18, 2013
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 13,000
overall rating 9 of 10rating detailsPros: "Fun to drive and great gas mileage"
Cons: "Blind spot on the HB. Only dealer has 0-20 oil"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"My wife drives this and loves it. We fought over getting manual vs auto, especially since the auto gets one MPG better, but my wife wanted a stick and I can't argue at 40MPG. The transmission is excellent. One of the reasons I gave in was the great reviews I had read about the manual transmissions and even I enjoy driving it. I enjoy watching the mileage as I drive, it lets you know if you have a lead foot. You can really screw up the overall MPG in a day playing with that 6speed. it is also amazing to see the current MPG shoot up on smooth surfaces. I am sure I have sat in the back at least twice and don't feel cramped at 5'9" 210 but the blind spot is a bit of a complaint for us."

SciFriday: Sadly, The Gay Stigma Still Exists In Hollywood
Are controversial Colton Haynes pictures porn, or just gay?
Before this week, I don't believe I had written even a single word about the new MTV series "Teen Wolf." Not here on Airlock Alpha, not even on our sister site Rabid Doll, although both of these sites have editors that are not me, and they could've written something about it.
Yet on Wednesday, there I was, writing about "Teen Wolf." But not exactly in the way I would've liked. Instead, I had to talk about a narrow-minded attorney who decided a heavy hand was the way to go to remove what some might consider "embarrassing" photos of actor Colton Haynes.
It's sad, because it seems like Haynes has really gained some steam in building a solid acting career after spending his teen years as a model. After guest roles in a variety of shows, he had a regular role in the one-season ABC wonder "The Gates" and landed a role in MTV's "Teen Wolf."
But apparently some of Haynes' past caught up with him. He did a photo shoot about five years go for the gay youth magazine XY. The photos -- many of which have found their way to the Web -- feature Haynes as an older teenager hanging out with another boy, mostly goofing off. The pictures, however, do lead to a hot tub where Haynes and this other boy -- shoulder-deep in water -- share a passionate kiss.
With Haynes finding some celebrity with his rising stardom, of course you're going to have people behind him (whether it be a network, a publicist, or whatever) saying, "Oh my God! We can't have that!"
Heaven forbid that an actor serve as a role model for the gay and lesbian community, especially for gay and lesbian youth. Is making out in a hot tub the right message to send? Probably not the greatest message. But the heart and soul of it is there, which is it's OK to be who you are.
I don't think it's fair for anyone to say that Colton Haynes must be gay because he posed for a gay photo shoot. He was a model, and models are put in situations that are sometimes real, but most of the time fiction. Was this real or fiction? I don't know. And I don't care.
But if I were a celebrity publicist and worried that the small-minded people who have issues with gays and lesbian people might create a backlash against someone who posed in some gay-themed photos, I would stick with the paragraph above. I certainly wouldn't do what Bryan Freedman did, and send one of the most disgusting cease and desist letter I have ever read.
And trust me, I have seen some interesting cease and desist letters in my time (but that's another column for another day).
In this letter, Freedman -- who is considered one of the entertainment industry's "power lawyers" according to The Hollywood Reporter -- decided to take a heavy hand. He stated these pictures circulating the Web were "private" (they were not, they were published in a one-time popular niche magazine), that they were "pornographic" (they were not pornographic even by Pat Robertson's definition -- I've seen worse on MTV, and I don't even watch the channel!).
Freedman's other issue was that Haynes was under 18 when the photos were shot. That, he said, created an issue all by itself. But does it? A source tells Airlock Alpha that Haynes' own mother signed the release form for the photo shoot, and had final say in what was used.
Of all the photos, maybe one might have raised an eyebrow -- one where Haynes reaches into his underwear. Is he doing something dastardly? I don't know. Is it pornographic? Only if you count Wil Wheaton's leech-on-the-sac scene from "Stand By Me" as porn. How do we know that Haynes wasn't simply recreating that "touching" moment?
In the end, if Haynes had been making out with a girl in the hot tub, we would never hear anything from Freedman or anyone else about this. There would be no chatter, no discussion, no angry letters from lawyers. It's because he was kissing another boy that has a few select people in an uproar.
And I'm tired of it. We live in a country now where more people support not only gay rights, but gay marriage than those that oppose. Most people now believe that the gay agenda might include equal rights and acceptance, but does not include recruiting straight people into the rainbow way of life.
Yet, we have this garbage out there. Who cares if Colton Haynes is gay or if Colton Haynes is straight? If he is a good actor and is appearing in something I want to see, then I will watch it and judge Haynes on his acting merits, not on who he is attracted to.
Why do we have to place these boxes around people, and slap a radioactive sticker on it? I have nothing but the utmost respect for actors who aren't afraid of that box. Richard Harmon is one of those shining examples. The former "Caprica" and current "The Killing" actor starred this year in "Judas Kiss" where he plays an out and proud film student. Was he worried that people might identify him as an actor as gay? Not at all. (And for the record, Richard is quite straight, and has a very beautiful and wonderful girlfriend, fellow "Caprica" actress Genevieve Buechner).
And then you have Neil Patrick Harris who is not afraid to play straight.
So it goes both ways. Is there still fallout for gay actors and entertainers? I'm sure there is.
But let's find a better way to approach this without resorting to the heavy-handedness of accusing gay news outlets like DoorQ of publishing so-called private, pornographic photos that are neither private nor pornographic.

The Corruption
Comments735this wiki
The Corruption is a biome that forms during the creation of a World at a minimum of one (generally up to three) random location.
The Corruption is recognizable by its background with violet mountains, dead trees, purple grass and darker lighting than other biomes, and is the only biome in which one can find Chasms, Ebonstone, Shadow Orbs and Vile Mushrooms.
Initially, the Corruption can spread to regular grass from corrupted grass so long as the blocks are adjacent. Corrupted grass will also occasionally produce thorns that deal 10 damage and grow indefinitely so long as they are within four blocks of another block.
The monsters found in this biome at any time of day are relatively strong, and are thus a good reason to avoid the Corruption at the beginning of the game.
Contents |
Monsters found in The Corruption:
- Eater of Souls
- Little Eater
- Big Eater
- Devourer
- Corrupt Goldfish
- Corrupt Bunny
- Eater of Worlds (Boss Monster)
- Corrupter (Hard Mode)
- World Feeder (Hard Mode)
- Slimer (Hard Mode)
- Corrupt Slime (Hard Mode)
Hard Mode Changes
After the Wall of Flesh is defeated in a World, the Corruption starts to spread at twice the normal speed, gains the ability to spread over sand and stone as well as turning mud into corrupted grass, and becomes able to spread across gaps of "incorruptible" material up to two blocks long. Additionally, Sunflowers will no longer stop the spread of the Corruption, rather breaking into collectible items upon being reached. Finally, all monsters slain in the Underground Corruption will have a chance of dropping a Soul of Night.
Corruption Prevention
There are numerous ways to prevent the Corruption, such as separating your house/base from the rest of the map with a 3-block wide buffer. You do not need to completely seal off your base, only separate the parts of your base from contact with the rest of the map that could become Corrupted.
Another way is to cure the Corruption before defeating the Wall of Flesh, eliminating the preventatives needed to protect your base. However this is a rather hard alternative as, although it has the best results, it is time- and money-wasting, for little or no profit. Also, as the Hardmode spawns more Corruption, the original biome is not as worth clearing.
Another method is to spread the Hallow on the both sides of your house, as neither the Corruption nor the Hallow can spread across the other.
A quick (depends on size) but expensive way to clear the Corruption is by simply blowing it up (with any kind of explosive save Grenades). However, this is very expensive will leave a very big hole.
Artificial Corruption
An artificial Corruption can be created by planting Corrupt Seeds in dirt, and/or by adding around 250 blocks of Ebonstone. This will spawn all monsters from the Corruption, and can be used as a place to summon the Eater of Worlds. Placing any Artificial Corruption close to your home is dangerous as Devourers will spawn and attack you.
Items/Monsters that Spread Corruption
- Corrupt Seeds
- Thorns
Hard Mode
- You can remove corrupt areas by using Purification Powder or turn them into Hallowed areas with Holy Water.
- If you talk to the Dryad and click status she will tell you what percentage of your world is Corrupt and Hallowed
- If the thorns touch non-corrupt dirt or trees, they will become corrupt, and further spread The Corruption.
- The Corruption or Artificial Corruption must be used as the place to fight the Eater of Worlds.
- Where The Corruption meets another biome its possible for monsters from both biomes to spawn.
- The Corruption at night is quite dark, therefore remember to bring some form of light.
- The Corruption cannot spread to snow blocks; therefore the Hallow cannot spread through snow biomes.
- Corrupter's Vile spit attack will also spread the corruption to other blocks.
- The Hallow is thought to be the opposite of The Corruption.
- Wood is a cheap but effective material for containing the Corruption or the Hallow

The 1st Inuit Circumpolar Youth Symposium on the Inuit Language was a four-day conference during which twenty Inuit youths representing four territories (Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and Russia) arrived in Iqaluit, Nunavut to deliberate on issues surrounding the idea of a common language among all Inuit peoples across the world in order to promote a unified Inuit community. Due to the vast regions that the Inuit call home, representatives from each region discussed issues occurring within their own community, whether it is in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, or Russia.

Langley man charged with assaulting Oak Harbor youth football coach
By JESSIE STENSLAND
Whidbey News Times Assistant editor
November 13, 2012 · Updated 2:36 PM
A 30-year-old Langley man was charged this week in an assault that left a well-known Oak Harbor youth football coach with a serious brain injury.
Prosecutors charged Trevor J. Fleming in Island County Superior Court Nov. 5 with second-degree assault with aggravating circumstances.
Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme said he wasn't able to charge Fleming with a more serious charge, such as first-degree assault, because of the issue of intent. To convict someone of first-degree assault, the prosecutor would have to prove that the suspect intended to cause great bodily harm.
"The intent would be hard to show if you just punch someone once and run away," Ohme said.
The prosecutor is alleging an aggravating circumstance, which is that "the victim's injuries substantially exceed the level of bodily harm necessary to satisfy the elements of the offense," according to court documents.
Under the standard sentencing range, Fleming would face from three to nine months in jail if convicted. If a jury finds there was an aggravator, the judge could sentence himself outside the standard range.
Ohme said he spoke with the victim, Oak Harbor native Tyson Boon, and he and his wife were satisfied with the charging decision.
The police report on the alleged punching incident is short on details, but describes a seemingly pointless assault on the night of Sept. 9.
A witness said he and Boon were standing outside the Mi Pueblo restaurant when the suspect came outside and bumped into Boon. The witness claimed the man, later identified as Fleming, said that he was drinking and then reached around and struck Boon, according to the report by Oak Harbor Police Officer Serloyd Carter.
The witness said he turned around and saw Boon lying unconscious on the ground.
The officers searched for Fleming and found him walking near the Safeway store. After being arrested, Fleming said that he and three friends had been at the Element nightclub and then Mi Pueblo, where he sang karaoke that night.
He said he left the restaurant and was walking to his grandmother's house; he denied being involved in an altercation, according to Carter's report.
In an interview after he returned from the hospital, Boon said the force of the impact broke the back of his skull and caused bleeding in the front of his brain. He was airlifted to Seattle and remained in intensive care for five days.
Boon is still recuperating from the brain injuries. For days and even weeks after the assault, he had trouble walking, performing simple tasks and speaking. For weeks, he had trouble with his memory or even recognizing friends. Boon had to go through intensive physical, occupational and speech therapy after returning home.
Ohme said Boon seemed improved when they spoke recently.
"I think he's doing better," he said. "…He's not 100 percent, but he's doing better."
