Channing Tatum Worries About Justin Bieber, Will Never Medicate His Childby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Channing Tatum is a new father, as his wife gave birth to a girl named Everly on Sunday.
It's an exciting time in the actor's life, but also a stressful one.
Featured in the latest Vanity Fair, Tatum explains that he had a learning disability as a child, but that he doesn't think drugs are the answer.
"I truly believe some people need medication," he tells the magazine. "I did not. I did better at school when I was on it, but it made me a zombie. You become obsessive. Dexedrine, Adderall. It's like any other drug. It's like coke, or crystal meth. The more you do, the less it works."
Tatum went on to say he understands "why kids kill themselves" as a result of over-medication because "you feel terrible. You feel soul-less. I'd never do it to my child."
The Magic Mike star also shared a few thoughts on Justin Bieber, who has been struggling with his own issues these days.
"I worry about Bieber, man," he said. "That kid's wildly talented. I hope he doesn't fall down into the usual ways of young kids because it's so hard for someone to be responsible when they're not asked to be.
"We're not asked to do things ourselves. You have someone there with a coffee. 'You want food? I'll get you food.'"

NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America says its fourth-quarter earnings shrank as it cleaned up old problems from its mortgage unit.
The bank made $367 million in the last three months of 2012 after paying preferred dividends, down from $1.6 billion in the same period a year ago. The earnings were equivalent to 3 cents per share.
The bank had warned that it expected earnings to be only "modestly positive." It took big charges related to a settlement with the government-backed mortgage lender Fannie Mae and a separate agreement in which it and other banks settled government accusations of wrongful foreclosure practices.
The earnings were slightly better than the 2 cents per share estimate of financial analysts polled by FactSet.
Revenue was dragged down by the Fannie Mae settlement. It fell to $19.6 billion after stripping out an accounting charge, down from $26.4 billion in the same period a year ago.
Analysts called it another quarter of sacrificed earnings as the bank works through its troubled mortgage division. A long string of regulatory fines and lawsuits for the unit have made earnings unpredictable for several years.
Bank of America's stock fell 15 cents to $11.63 in pre-market trading.
In a call with reporters, Chief Financial Officer Bruce Thompson said the bank is much better positioned than it was a year ago. He emphasized a jump in deposits, higher fees from investment banking, and shrinking debt.
As for future litigation in the mortgage unit, Thompson said he couldn't be sure what might come. "I can't tell you exactly what else could be out there," Thompson said, "but what I can tell you is that we put a lot of risk behind us in 2012."
Mortgages, which were a big revenue source for Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase in the fourth quarter, were also up at Bank of America, which funded 42 percent more mortgages over the year.
Bank of America has been struggling to figure out its identity as a mortgage maker. It catapulted to a top spot in mortgage banking in summer 2008, when it gobbled up Countrywide a few months before the financial crisis imploded. Countrywide was a California-based mortgage lender known for exotic loans, and Bank of America hailed the purchase as a triumph.
But the purchase has brought enormous headaches for Bank of America, including regulatory investigations, shareholder lawsuits and quarterly losses.
That's influenced Brian Moynihan, who became CEO a year and a half after the Countrywide purchase, to retreat from mortgages and sell off related units. Bank of America now controls about 4 percent of the U.S. mortgage market, compared to 22 percent shortly after it combined with Countrywide, according to the trade publication Inside Mortgage Finance. That puts it behind No. 1 Wells Fargo, with 30 percent, as well as JPMorgan and U.S. Bank.
Thompson said the bank expects to expand the mortgage unit, focusing on borrowers who are already bank customers. He declined to comment on the bank's shrunken market share.
"What we're focused on is doing more with our consumers, continuing to grow this, and if we do that well, where we are with our peers will take care of itself," Thompson said.

Times New Viking is an Ohio rock trio that delivers raw rock 'n' roll. Jumping from different labels over the years including Matador and Merge, the band has released five proper albums in a little more than five years. On its last album, Dance Equired (Merge), Times New Viking dropped the lo-fi fuzz in favor of more melodious songs. These art-school grads from Columbus, Ohio, are still making music, and the band's Elizabeth Murphy will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with her.
"I can't help it
If you might think I'm odd,
If I say I'm loving you not for what you are
But what you're not."
—Bob Dylan, "I'll Keep It with Mine"
Murphy: Muffin Tops: This product is a lie. The reason that everyone loves the tops of muffins is inherent to the way the whole of a muffin is made. The top of a muffin, when torn off what is now essentially its base or pedestal, is soft and perfect and desirable because it was conceived parasitically from a bottom that beared all the brunt of foreseeable hard edges and possible staleness. You cannot bake muffin tops alone and expect the same results. This is like saying you have baked a loaf of crust-less bread. Crust happens in the baking process, only by tearing the crust off of the bread in post-production can crust-less bread exist.
Donut Holes: A hole is the absence of something. A hole does not exist in itself and can only be defined by its surroundings. I am willing to overlook this linguistic misstep because the "donut hole" as we know it, is born of the hole in a donut. Yet it would be more accurate to call it a donut remainder. Yes, we are using every part of the donut here! There is no waste! But before you place donut-making in the depression-era commons of asceticism or label it a serendipitous invention like the Long Island Ice Tea, let's hear it from an employee at Howard's Donuts here in Memphis how these holes come to be: "It is a lot of work. It really is a pain in the ass."
Both of these products seem to be in response to the upper crust desire to consume only the best; carving out the riffraff of a product to the pill-sized epicenter of desire, the gluttonous whittling.

Talk about feeling like a {birthday} QUEEN for the day! Sonia did an amazing job on this super colorful & modern ALICE IN WONDERLAND inspired birthday party… and although she created it especially for her adorable daughter Sophia, something tells me that the guests at this party probably felt like royalty too!
From a super stylish Mad Hatter Tea Party (provided by Enchanted Fairy Tea Parties) to playful themed treats like "White Rabbit Food", "Eat Me" cookies, and an amazing flower-bedecked cake topped with a fondant tea pot, Sonia definitely highlighted all the key "Alice" elements. She also added a unique twist on the theme by going with a primarily bright blue, hot pink, and yellow color palette – as seen in the fabulous stationery elements, dessert table, and matching DIY decor. Speaking of which… one of my favorite details has to be the big paper mache "S" that was completely covered in homemade paper rosettes!
Read on for LOTS more lovely party images + all the whimsical & wonderful creative details…
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Sonia…
I started planning the party 2 months in advance (which in retrospect is not enough time!).
Sophia and I had attended a fairy tea party that had been done by Enchanted Fairy Tea Parties and we had loved it. They do a variety of themed tea parties. Even though Sophia knew she wanted a tea party, she's not really into the typical tea party themes – princesses, fairies or Barbie. So I suggested Alice in Wonderland to her. After watching the movie she was totally into it!
Once we decided on a theme, I looked all over the Internet, especially etsy for paper goods, decor items, outfits, etc. I settled on WH Hostess to make me a custom invitation as I love her modern designs. I also opted for coordinating paper goods and fabric so that the party would have a cohesive feel, starting with the invites, extending to the party proper and finally the thank you cards.
I absolutely LOVED the invites and paper goods. They really set the tone for all that followed. I had Fairytale Jubilee design a dress and headband for Sophia, that coordinated with the color palette that had been set by the paper goods. The dress is beyond amazing and not too costume-like, so Sophia can wear it again. :)
Designing the dessert table was sooooo much fun!! I love mixing different colors and patterns. Polka dots and stripes are just perfect for this. Coordinated candy jar and food tags helped tie the look together. A beautiful felt banner from Taffie Wishes across the front of the table finished the look. As for the sweets, there were yummy cookies from Allyson Jane Designer Desserts, which are really works of art! Chocolate dipped Oreos from Sweeties By Kim, color coordinated candy, cupcakes, and a delicious 3 tiered cake from Cupcakes Couture with cake and cupcake toppers from Edible Details. Needless to say, it was a huge hit with the girls.
I cleared our family room of most of the furniture to make room for 1 long tea table, kind of like the Mad hatter's table. The table runner was a custom fabric that matched the invite. This really added the extra touch. I purchased a large paper mache letter S from Joann's and covered it with paper rosettes and hung it above the fireplace. This was time consuming, but well worth it. The room was also decorated with paper poms and tissue garlands from Pom Flair Partyware. Paper lanterns were from Luna Bazaar. The tablescape and china was provided by Enchanted Fairy Tea Parties. They also did all the outdoor/backyard decorations. They did a great job keeping the girls busy with games, face painting and crafts.
All in all, it was a really fun party to put together. My daughter and her friends had a fantastic time!

What is E.Coli in Urine ?
E. coli in urine refers to the infection of the urinary tract by a bacterium known as Escherichia coli. Individuals of all age groups and of both the genders can be affected by infections of the urinary tract. Bacteria tend to easily develop in urine and can multiple from a single bacterium to nearly one hundred thousand bacteria in less than two hours.
The presence of E. coli in urine can be due to infection of the bladder by the bacteria or due to skin contact with the bacteria at the time of urination. In case pus cells are found in the urine along with the bacteria, then the urine is also said to be infected. The presence of pus cells in urine is known as pyuria, which may be accompanied by painful urination.
Infection of the upper urinary tract which includes the kidneys can happen when E. coli in urine travels all the way up to the kidneys. Infection of the upper urinary tract is known as pyelonephritis. When the infection by the bacteria is limited to just the bladder, then the condition is known as cystitis. Both the conditions are caused due to the presence of abnormally quantities of E. coli in urine.
The E. coli bacteria generally reside in the lower intestines of all warm blooded animals, including humans. They are generally harmless in the bowels. However, the entry of E. coli into the urinary tract via the urethra can result in infection of the urine, which can result in medical complications. Women are at a greater risk to E. coli in urine as compared to men. However, E. coli in urine is not a serious condition and can be effectively treated if detected early.
Symptoms of E. coli in urine
Some of the signs and symptoms of E. coli in urine are listed below:
- Urgent and persistent desire to urinate: This is one of the most common symptoms of E. coli in urine. Affected individuals may also experience difficulties in urination. Additionally, they may also experience abnormal cramps and burning sensation during urination. One may note that the frequency of urination does not result in equal increase in the volume of urine elimination. Young children affected by E. coli in urine may often wet the bed during the day as well as the night and also engage in involuntary discharge of urine.
- Change in the appearance of urine: The presence of E. coli in urine may result in an abnormal appearance of the urine. The urine may become foamy and cloudy and may have a bloody appearance. The eclectic mix of white blood cells, bacteria, etc. may make the urine thicker than usual and not clear. It may also have a putrid odor. The blood in urine may give it a pink or red color.
- Dysuria: It is one of the common symptoms experienced by individuals with urinary tract infections caused due to E. coli in urine. Dysuria can lead to extreme pain during urination as well as burning sensations when urinating.
- Vomiting, diarrhea and nausea: E. coli in urine that causes urinary tract infections in children and infants can result in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. This can result in severe loss of fluids from the body causing dehydration.
- Pain in the flank, abdomen, pelvis and back: Adults and children suffering from upper urinary tract infections may experience pain of the abdomen and back. Extreme lower back pain may be experienced by adults with E. coli infections of the lower urinary tract. Children with lower urinary tract infection may experience pelvic or abdominal pain.
- Fever: Children with E. coli in urine may experience fever, when either the upper or lower urinary tract is infected. Adults on the other hand may only experience fever when the upper urinary tract is infected with E. coli and not when the lower urinary tract is infected.
Treatment of E. coli in urine
- When one experiences the symptoms of E. coli in urine, it is important to visit a doctor for analysis and effective treatment.
- Some forms of urinary tract infections caused due to E. coli in urine can be treated with medications available over the counter. Such drugs need to be orally consumed for a period of about ten days. It is important to note that such medications do not cure E. coli in urine, but only aid in alleviating the pain and burning sensations experienced during urination. Hence, an affected individual has to intake large quantities of water, particularly while taking the medication, so as to flush down the E. coli bacteria along with the urine. Patients need to consult a doctor if the condition does not improve after taking these medications.
- Intake of cranberry juice is an effective home remedy for getting rid of E. coli in urine
- Antibiotics are recommended by doctors for serious cases of E. coli in urine.

I've expressed to the UA group that a prioritized list of HTML 4.0 tags and attributes and CSS1 and CSS2 properties that are beneficial to accessibility be part of the User Agent Guidelines.

It is difficult for page authors to know whether they have implemented advice correctly because they cannot get the tag to work. When I pointed out the reason these participants said that this should be indicated in the Guidelines. I suggest that the Guidelines (techniques) should include, at least, an indication that the page author may not be able to see the result of implementing a technique yet.

Damn, I love a a pair of dungarees. It's such a timeless piece, that can be worn all year around. I found some cool photos for some inspiration and that displays different ways to style a dungaree. I always go to Tumblr and other sites, for inspiration. At times, it helps to think out of the box and be more creative.
I ordered a pair for myself, a month ago from River Island (HERE) and I can't wait to shoot some outfit photos (just trying to figure out the perfect location for the look).

Four upstate GOP lawmakers want to clarify Pa. royalty law after deductions
Four Republicans in the state House have been working on legislation designed to clarify the law on gas drilling royalties in Pennsylvania after reports that landowners are getting lower checks than they expected, with certain costs deducted away.
A nearly 35-year-old law assures at least a one-eighth royalty payment for oil, natural gas or gas of any other designation, according to a news release about the effort.
But some owners who thought they'd get an eighth of the value of the natural gas from their land have gotten reduced checks because of, in words attributed to state Rep. Garth Everett, "a gas company's accounting magic," according to the release.
The matter was the subject of a state Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee hearing last month where the head of a national group said he's not seeing elsewhere the types of deductions occurring in the commonwealth.
Everett, R-Lycoming County; state Rep. Matthew Baker, R-Bradford and Tioga counties; state Rep. Sandra Major, R-Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties; and state Rep. Tina Pickett, R-Bradford, Sullivan and Susquehanna counties, are part of the effort.
The legislation would clarify that deducting post-production costs from unconventional wells cannot result in royalty payments less than the guaranteed minimum, according to the release.
In addition, a bill requiring transparency for deductions from royalty payments unanimously passed the state House last month.

Towering Sitka spruce and western hemlock that sometimes reach seven feet in diameter shade the Coast Range's largest rainforest stand of old growth. The steep canyons of rock-splattered Drift Creek may give you the impression of mountainous country, but the forested hills rise only slightly above 2,000 feet. Soaked by as much as 120 inches of annual rainfall, moss and ferns as thick as six inches cushion the ground along numerous streams shadowed by overhanging big leaf maples.
Roosevelt elk and black bears share this lush territory with two endangered Oregon species: northern spotted owls and bald eagles. In fall, Drift Creek comes alive with spawning Chinook and Coho salmon as well as steelhead and cutthroat trout.
Flat clearings along the creek make for ideal campsites, but please remember to camp at least 100 feet away from the stream. Camp stove use is recommended.
Close to:
Drift Creek Wilderness is located in the Oregon Coast Range, 7 miles north of Waldport and south of Newport, Oregon.
From the south, the Harris Ranch trailhead is located 2 miles north of Highway 34 and is the portal to the southern half of the wilderness area.
On the north side, the Horse Creek trailhead is approximately 15 miles east of Highway 101 and allows hikers to explore the northern half of the wilderness area.
Turn east off Highway 101 on Beaver Creek Road at Ona Beach for 3.7 miles, then turn right on N Elk Horn Road for 5.9 miles. Follow the Horse Creek Trail sign at the FS Road 5100 junction and turn left on to FS Road 5000. After 1.3 miles, continue on FS Road 5000 and veer right for another 2.8 miles to the Horse Creek trailhead.

NEW YORK (Jun. 9)
Shlomo Katz, editor of Midstream, the "monthly Jewish review" published here by the Theodor Herzl Foundation, charged today that the "David Frost Show" had "submitted" to the "dictation" of black writer James Baldwin in dropping him from yesterday's taping of the syndicated television talk show. He had been invited, Katz told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, to participate with Baldwin and anthropologist Dr. Margaret Mead in a discussion of "A Rap On Race," a new book consisting of a transcript of a conversation-debate between Baldwin and Dr. Mead. Two minutes before the taping, Katz said, he was informed by a production aide that "Mr. Baldwin says 'I will not discuss this subject with him.'" The 62-year-old Katz, editor of Midstream since 1955, charged that the Frost show staff had been "dictated to" by Baldwin. The development, said Katz, represented "gagging of a panelist by James Baldwin and submission by the 'David Frost Show.'" Katz, who said he would file a formal complaint with the producers of the program, added: "It was not a proud moment. I was humiliated."
Katz attributed Baldwin's seeming reluctance to appear with him to a recent public debate between the two on Jewish commitment to the cause of black militancy. In an article in the New York Review of Books addressed to "my sister, Angela Davis," the black militant and Marxist charged with complicity in a multiple murder in California. Baldwin told her: "You are as alone as the Jewish housewife in a boxcar headed for Dachau," In the April issue of Midstream, Katz challenged Baldwin's comparison of the Jewish fate in the Nazi Holocaust with the situation of Miss Davis and other American black militants. Katz's "open letter" was in turn reprinted in the New York Review, and Baldwin's rebuttal to it will appear in the next issue of Midstream. Katz noted that in "A Rap On Race," Baldwin said that "the creation of the State of Israel was one of the most cynical achievements–really murderous, merciless, ugliest and cynical achievements on the part of the Western nations," who he said took it on themselves to give Jews that part of Palestine now called Israel.
"You have got to remember," the American expatriate writer continued, "however bitter this may sound, no matter how bitter I may sound, that I have been, in America, the Arab at the hands of the Jews." Dr. Mead replied: "Oh, fiddlesticks' Just fiddlesticks! You are now making a totally racist comment just because there have been a number of Jewish shopkeepers in Harlem." A spokesman for Peter Baker, producer of the Frost series, said Katz had been invited several days ago to debate Baldwin in the "later stages" of the discussion. As a courtesy to Baldwin, the spokesman continued, he was called to be informed of Katz's booking, but could not be reached until half an hour before yesterday evening's taping. Baldwin, said the production spokesman, said he had not been given enough time to prepare for a televised dialogue with Katz, and the editor was thus advised he would not be on the show. Another executive at the Frost show said Baldwin's comment was not hostile, and that in fact he indicated a willingness to debate Katz on another day. The executive called the entire matter "an unfortunate mistake." The Frost episode taped yesterday will be telecast July 1. In the half-hour exchange between Baldwin and Dr. Mead, producer Baker's aide said, there was no mention of black-Jewish relations.

The US President Barack Obama announced his new strategy for the Asia-Pacific - 'pivot to Asia' - in 2011. It was also called 'strategic rebalancing' which emphasised that the US was 'here to stay' to and it would re-inject fresh energy into its security and economic presence in the region. The US appeared to contest the growing influence of China by revitalising its partnerships with its old allies in the region and also reach out to other like-minded countries for their support for US initiatives.
In the subsequent year, the US tried to reinvigorate its alliances with Japan, South Korea, Philippines, and Australia, and tried to reach out to countries like India to have a larger and effective grouping to support US positions in regional politics. Even in the economic arena, an ambitious project in the form of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was given more importance. As mentioned earlier, the US 'pivot to Asia' was less a strategic balancing and more a counter-measure to China's growing political and military might, and a last attempt to maintain the US position as the prime mover in the Asia-Pacific. However, it might be said that the US re-entry has not been impressive because of the lack of intensity as well as many internal rifts between the US allies such as mistrust between Japan and South Korea, lack of consensus among other countries of the Asia-Pacific such as India and ASEAN countries on the US move, and more than anything else, decline in US capacity. It has led to the 'pivot' being less appealing in subsequent years. A meeting is Hawaii a few days ago to chart the course of the TPP was not able to make any clear headway - it seems it will take more time to realise the TPP on the ground. It may be contrasted with the Chinese project of the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which has been successfully launched with wide participation by the countries of the region, including South Korea.
There is another unsaid but equally if not more significant 'pivot to Asia', which has been gradually but very decisively taking more space in the political and economic landscape of the Asia-Pacific: China's 'pivot to Asia'. China's growing influence in the region is undisputable, especially in the economic sphere. China has emerged as the Asia-Pacific hub, being the number one trading partner of almost all the countries. With the successful launch of the AIIB and One-Belt One-Road (OBOR) initiative, China has almost become a pivot of the entire region in the economic sphere. In security affairs also, undeterred by US moves, China has become more assertive and has been making its intent and design more open. It has deliberately discarded its old policy of 'hide your capabilities' and asserted its foreign policy goals. It has made it clear that it would not accept any code of conduct for the South China Sea and in 2013 declared an Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea. China probably wants to make its claim for the 'pivot' known and open at this point of time, though not it might not be eager to execute them immediately.
Japan, under the current Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, has also its own 'pivot to Asia' intent. An important shift in Japan's approach in recent years has been an aggressive policy to erode its peaceful constitution and unlock all the restrictions on Japan's military role in regional politics. By citing China's growing assertiveness and the need for an Asia-Pacific response, Japan has been able to convince the US that a changed Japanese posture is a much needed stance. Japan is aware that the neighbouring countries would not be happy with this attempt to become a 'pivot' to Asia and has thus been trying to reach out other, distant countries in Asia, including India, to garner support.
In the past one and half years, more specifically after the Ukraine crisis, Russia has also been trying to engage more with Asia. At this point in time, Russia has neither capacity nor intent to become a regional pivot in the security sphere, though it has been trying to be a player, at least, in East Asia via its cooperation and connections with North Korea. Moscow has signed a nuclear agreement with India and has been strengthening its relationship with China. Russia's renewed interests in Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam are also reported to be part of its agenda to build a Russia's 'pivot to Asia'. Russia is more interested in the economic landscape of the region, and in April 2014, Moscow announced a special economic zone in Vladivostok to reach out to Asia-pacific countries.
Few other 'pivots' such as ASEAN's as a collective entity, which tries to offer a ASEAN way in regional politics, as well as India's growing regional interests, could also be cited as important variables that are going to shape the future of the region. However, they are nascent and less influential at this point of time.
Amidst all the 'pivots to Asia', the region has become an arena of contest between the various players of 'pivot politics'. A multiplicity of 'pivots' means that there is no one who has substantial influence over the regional security and economic dynamics, leading to complex scenarios. It has resulted in less predictability and more instability in the region. The interplay of these 'pivots' - their contest as well alliances – is going to shape the future of regional political and economics, and must be keenly observed.

On the shock-induced variability of emission lines in M-type Mira variables
II. Fe II and [Fe II] emission lines as a diagnostic tool
Zentrum für Astronomie und Astrophysik, TU Berlin, Sekr. PN 8-1, Hardenbergstraße 36, 10623 Berlin, Germany
2 Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Australian National University, Cotter Road, Weston ACT 2611, Australia e-mail: email@example.com
Corresponding author: He. Richter, email@example.com
Accepted: 16 December 2002
Our observations of cool, shock penetrated, expanding atmospheres of M-type Mira variables (Richter & Wood [CITE]) have suggested that the emission lines of Fe II and [Fe II] can serve as an excellent diagnostic tool to study the hydro- and thermodynamical conditions in the shocked regions close to the photosphere of these stars. Here we present a series of detailed NLTE (Non Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium) radiative transfer calculations, which have been performed on structures resulting from thermodynamical models of periodic shock waves, in order to calculate the emergent Fe II and [Fe II] emission line fluxes and to analyse the conditions which lead to their formation. Our basic parameter studies reveal that the ionised iron lines originate from the hot post-shock zone and that they are in fact emitted close to the star's photosphere. Furthermore, the modelling of the Fe II and [Fe II] emission line fluxes determine a specified limit of the shock velocity amplitude and pre-shock density for the innermost shocks. This offers an unique possibility to determine the thermodynamical conditions in the inner dust formation zone and thereby will shed some light on the basic mechanism of dust formation in M-type Mira stars.
Key words: line: formation / shock waves / radiative transfer / stars: late-type / stars: variables: general

8:30 – Back to the Garden
"We're so pleased the community has latched on to this production the way it has," says Stev Guyer, Executive Producer and CEO of Shadowbox Live®. "Not a week goes by that our patrons don't ask if we'll be performing it again."
Back to the Garden premiered at Shadowbox Live® in the fall of 2009. Audiences immediately connected with its message of peace, love and music, making it one of the most successful shows in Shadowbox Live's® history and prompting what has become an annual outdoor performance.
"We're extremely proud that we've created this original work, based on an historic event, that can evoke these very special feelings of brotherhood and fellowship," says Guyer. "Every year we enjoy bringing a little piece of that feeling to our city."
The event has been heavily attended in the past three years, with attendance numbers growing with every performance. The first outdoor show in 2010 brought 4,500 people to Schiller Park. In anticipation of an even larger crowd, the event was moved to the Columbus Commons in 2011, when 7,000 came to enjoy the show. Then last year, again at the Commons, saw a slightly bigger audience with an estimated 8,000 spectators.
"Even with 8,000 people, the Commons didn't feel full," says Guyer. "It would be amazing to get 10,000 people out for this year's performance."
Back to the Garden tells the story of Rodney Benton, a reporter for the New York Times sent to cover the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969. While Benton is a fictitious character, he's loosely based on Barnard Collier, who really was sent to write about Woodstock. And like Collier, Benton is met with resistance from his editors when he tries to publish articles about peace and love.

And as I said before the exhausts were also deisgned to reduce tailpipe RCS and Infared, good luck doing that with a conventional blowpipe.

The reason why the F-22 does not have 3D TVC is because, to put it simply, it does not need it! Not to mention it would be in conflict with the overall LO theme of the plane. It's not because the US can't produce a 3D TVC engine (we did it a long time ago)
and no it's not going to be a must have in future 6th gen UCAV's.
The Flanker and Mig had 3D TVC added on later (Mig's initially did not even have FBW), the F-22 was designed from day one with TVC in mind.

I didn't say they couldn't. I'm aware that it has been done, but not in the mass quantities you would need for a production aircraft.
Originally posted by Darkpr0
If we were to compare the states of both aircraft at the time that the MiG still lacked FBW the Raptors we know would not even exist, so lets not compare 21st Century Fighters to a Cold War Fighter, hmm?
Originally posted by Darkpr0
The only fair fighter to compare the Raptor to right now would be the Su-47 Berkut. While it's not in production its still on the level with the Raptor.
Originally posted by Darkpr0
Also as a better comparison, you might have to wait until the PAK-FA comes out before we can meet any true competitors for the Raptor.
Originally posted by Darkpr0
However, I'm fairly sure that if the US could easily put 360 TVC onto the Raptor, they would.
Originally posted by Darkpr0
Just like the gun pod and the 2D TVC, it just might come in handy.
Originally posted by Darkpr0
The only way to not see it is if it isn't there as much, i.e. throttling the engines back.
Originally posted by WestPoint23
...because it was deemed unnecessary for the F-22 and not beneficial enough to go through all the problems of retrofitting it onto our existing aircraft. In any case I think you will find that there are less production Flankers/Migs with 3D TVC then there are F-22's with TVC.
Well, the Mig-29 was introduced in 1983, the ATF program had already been initiated by then and the YF-22 flew in 1990. Both aircraft were designed for the Cold War, it just so happens that the F-22 will dominate well into the 21st Century.
Also, I'm glad that the Mig-29 and Su-27 cannot be compared to the F-22. Just a few years ago ignorance led (most of) us to believe the Raptor was completely outclassed by these two fighters when it came to maneuverability. Imagine that.
According to who? The Berkut was a technology demonstrator, no more comparable to any current operational A/C then the F-15 ACTIVE of F-16 XL were to the Flankers and Mig's at the time. The Berkut was a test bed, lacking weapons, vital avionics, combat testing etc... Word of mouth and a "cool" wing do not translate to "on level with the Raptor". When, if, maybe the Berkut became a production aircraft and had some published results, then we can talk; until then lets leave all unfounded statement to ourselves, k?
You just don't get it do you? We can put 3D TVC in any of our fighters, we just don't because overall we have deemed it unnecessary and impractical not to mention that we don't live by selling birds at air shows. As I said before the F-22 was designed to be maneuverable, the 2D TVC combined with it's design and FLCS achieve a level of maneuverability (even with a combat load) that we are content with. That is why 2D TVC was chosen from the beginning, the entire airframe was built around it, there is no need for 3D TVC. That is also why retrofitting a design and engine built around 2D TVC would not make sense and why it would do more harm than good.

I don't know if there is a Navy variant for the F-22, can anyone point me in the right direction?

The A variant is going to be produced in higher numbers than the B and C, so how can they be the more widely used models?

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called."
— A.A. Milne, "Winnie-the-Pooh"
Spring's dandelions may wreak havoc on our yards, but they are manna to the bees. Dandelion honey, aka "love honey," is a soft golden color, its sweetness sparked by a vegetal note reminiscent of those bright yellow flowers. Like all honey, it's great slathered on toast and scones, whipped into butter, drizzled into yogurt or spooned straight from the jar. But its distinct flavor shines in salad dressings and sauces.
Honey isn't just plain old honey anymore. Many producers offer seasonal variations that differ depending on the fields and flowers the bees pollinate.
The key to the flavor of single-source is its color: The darker the honey, the more robust it will be.
Dandelion honey, deep buttery in color with a creamy texture, is especially good in vinaigrettes for dark greens and glazes for meat.
Basswood honey is the palest, most complex of the sweet stuff, with a floral scent and notes of mint. Gathered from the basswood or linden trees, it's considered one of the world's finest honeys.
Clover, wild flower, summer blossom and alfalfa honeys are relatively mild, perfect for sweetening tea or coffee and drizzling over fruit.
Buckthorn honey is a pale nutty flavor with caramel notes. It's great in recipes calling for nuts and spice cookies.
Buckwheat honey, dark as molasses, has deep bold raisin-y flavor. It's great paired with blue cheese or drizzled over Greek yogurt. Substitute it for molasses in spice cake and gingerbread recipes.
Honey is the very first sweet known to man; cavemen drew hives on their dwelling walls. The Egyptians considered honey the "food of the gods" and included it in their sacrifices. It was fermented into beer and wine (mead) by the Romans, and used to heal cuts and burns by the ancient Greeks.
European doctors who prescribed honey tonics as antidepressants got it right. Honey sweetens life.
Honey is nearly 50 percent sweeter than sugar. When substituting it for sugar in a sauce or salad dressing, adjust the recipe and taste along the way. For a baking substitution, use about ¾ cup honey for sugar and reduce the liquids in a recipe by 2 tablespoons.
These recipes were all tested using dandelion honey, but they will work with any mild honey. If you choose to use dark honey, such as buckwheat or buckthorn, they will have a more pronounced flavor.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum leaves for Beijing on Sunday where he will announce the signing of Olympic flyweight gold medalist Zou Shi Ming at a big press conference on Wednesday.
Arum told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard that "our first card in Macau will be on April 6 and I'm putting together a couple of title fights while Zou will make his professional debut on the card."
The Top Rank promoter said he plans to feature WBO/WBA champion Brian Viloria on the card against Juan Francisco Estrada who gave undefeated WBA light flyweight champion Roman "Chocalatito" Gonzalez a tremendous fight on November 17, 2012 on the same card where Viloria scored a 10th round TKO to win the WBA flyweight title from Mexico's Hernan "Tyson" Marquez.
Arum said he expects an excellent fight because Estrada "is a very, very good fighter."
The Top Rank promoter told us that WBO/Ring Magazine and WBC Diamond Belt champion Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire will face WBA champion and former Olympic gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux in April, either in Las Vegas or The Theater at Madison Square Garden "where we did so well" for the Mikey Garcia-Orlando Salido fight card.
The 31 year old Zou is recognized as the most outstanding amateur fighter from China having won three world titles in 2005, 2007 and 2011. He is a double Olympic gold medal winner, capturing the light flyweight title at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
The signing of Zou marks another major step in China's entry into professional boxing. Last November 24 in Kunming, Xiong Zhao Zhong won the vacant World Boxing Council minimum weight title beating Javier Martinez Resendiz after mandatory challenger Denver Cuello of the Philippines stepped aside at the request of WBC president Don Jose Sulaiman and was paid $25,000 as a step aside fee.

The race got underway in approximately seven knots from the north east with an incoming tide. Most of the fleet headed straight for the shore line towards St Heliers Bay which paid off for some. Team Vodafone Sailing, the lone multihull in the fleet, opted to take the Rangitoto Channel to keep out of the tide. As they passed Rangi Light they were off.
With Giacomo out the line honours race for monohulls opens up with it now being anyone's to take.
Notorious (Christiaan Arns), Rikki (Ray Haslar), Starlight Express (Dan Stenhouse), Django (Andrew Reid) and even Truxton (Chris Skinner) all have a chance of being the first monohulls home.
A group of enthusiasts made their way to Orakei Wharf in Okahu Bay to watch the start and to scream out their words of encouragement to the fleet.
Close friend of Hamish Milne (Moody Blue IV) was on the wharf and after the start to send words of wisdom Hamish's way.
'Where did you learn how to start mate!' screeched Angus Small as fits of laughter exploded from the crew of Moody Blue IV.
Andrew Reid, helming his J/111 Django admitted to being somewhat confused at the start due to the short postponement, but ended up hitting the line at the pin end with speed.
'We were so focused on making sure the boat was all good that we kind of missed what was happening! But in the end our start was great and we are now making out way past the nudist colony at Ladies Bay. No real talent out unfortunately!' said Reid.
Most of the boats are using the PredictWind tracker, although it isn't a mandatory requirement to have it available at all times.
Boats will be providing updates via social networking sites Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #whiteisland2013. This hashtag can also be used by spectators and other interested parties.

Commission on Ministry (COM)
One goal of the Commission on Ministry (COM) is to provide a journey in formation that is based in the baptismal ministry of all persons, focuses on the spiritual and personal development of those considering ordination, and is guided by the leadership needs of this diocese and the Church at large. At the same time, it has been our desire to design and model interactions with interested persons and congregations that respect the diversity of our diocese and the wide range of skills, life experiences, and individual callings of those who approach COM for consideration.
With strict adherence to Title III of the National Church Canons, two basic processes have been developed for moving toward Holy Orders: one for ordination to the Diaconate, and the other for ordination to the Priesthood (including a period in the Transitional Diaconate).
Ordination Process
After you have engaged in comprehensive conversations with your priest about your sense of call, the next step is to complete a period of organized discernment in your congregation. Your priest will form a small group of parishioners and others to assist you in hearing and testing your call to ministry. A discernment leader will be appointed, and your priest will provide direction and supervise the process. Sometime towards the beginning of your discernment, please make an appointment for a conversation about your call with The Rev. Michael Ambler, Canon to the Ordinary. If your priest has questions about creating a discernment group, or the discernment process, please ask them to be in touch with The Rev. Michael Ambler. Near the end of your discernment period, usually about the four month mark, please call Barbara Martin in the Bishop's office to make an appointment with Bishop Lane to further explore your sense of call.
We are grateful that you are responding to a possible call to serve God as a Deacon or Priest. No matter how the discernment process turns out for you, this process of hearing a call confirms that you are called to committed service as an essential member of the Body of Christ. All the people who enter this process with you will give of their time, energy and prayer to help you discover just what this call is about.
Even if your sense of call is clear and strong, we hope you will remember that this process is about discernment in community. This will help you stay open to those tough questions and challenges that this journey will demand.
It is your job to know the process, ask questions, clear up confusion, and get help from the many sources mentioned in the handbooks. We know that this process seems long and sometimes cumbersome. We promise our best efforts to prevent unnecessary obstacles and unexpected delays. We urge you to practice faithfulness and use this time to foster a deepening exploration into a life with Christ.
The Order of Deacons
The word Deacon comes from a Greek word meaning "servant" or "envoy." The unique role of the Deacon among the ordained is to represent Christ and his redemptive love in the world and to interpret the needs, concerns and hopes of the world to the Church. The role of Deacon requires unique gifts and formation, serving as an "ordained messenger of the faith" outside the walls of the congregation. Deacons model how to be in the Church and in the world as servants, and they have the ability to inspire that life in others. Deacons help the laity to be free to find places of connection with God in their lives beyond Sunday morning. Deacons are not those who alone do the work of the Church in the world; rather, they gather, lead, equip, and inform the laity in that work. In all their work, Deacons enhance the ministry of the laity, not supplant it.
Deacons must be academically trained in Holy Scriptures and able to integrate scripture into their Diaconal ministry and the liturgy, often including preaching. They must be conversant in Christian ethics and societal issues. Deacons must be well versed theologically and translate through their work the Church's understanding of the Paschal mystery, the Incarnation, Baptismal servanthood and Eucharistic community.
Because in this Diocese the Diaconate is non-stipendiary, those who are called to this ministry must exhibit the energy necessary for a full schedule of work both in and outside the Church. Deacons serve under the authority of the Bishop and are assigned in the Diocese of Maine where needed. Deacons will be expected to live a Rule of Life, which includes prayer, immersion in Scripture, self-examination and regular study. Deacons will seek regular continuing education opportunities in order to grow in their vocation. Lastly Deacons will participate in the diocesan community of Deacons as fully as possible.
The Order of Priests
The ministry of the Priest, as a representative of Christ and the Church, is customarily, though not exclusively, within a designated congregation where the Priest serves primarily as celebrant of the sacraments and transmitter and interpreter of the tradition of the faith. The Priest is also a participant in the collegium of presbyters and assists the Bishop in the councils of the diocese. Essential elements for this ministry are prayer, reflection, study, teaching, preaching, so that the sacerdotal life is lived with integrity and depth. In the hands and heart of the Priest should reside such a love of Christ and the Church that others are drawn into the grace of a spiritual life.
The Priest is also responsible for administration and institutional community building. A Priest is a representative, calling forth the priesthood of all believers and providing an example of a faithful life in Christ. Perhaps the greatest challenge for today's Priest is to lead the Body of Christ in living out its mission in the world. The Priest must be able to equip the saints for their ministry, not just in the parish, but in the wider world where God-talk and servanthood are alien and risky.
A profile of Deacons and Priests we seek in the Diocese of Maine
We believe that it is fair and helpful to all who take part in this process for us to be clear about the qualities and attributes we seek. First of all, the Deacons and Priests we seek must be committed to knowing and following Jesus, the Christ, and showing strong signs of growth toward maturity as Christians.
We believe that a person called to ordained ministry must:
• Firmly believe the vows you will take at ordination regarding the Holy Scriptures and conformity to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the Episcopal Church: be willing to accept the authority of the Bishop, have an open mind and loving heart for those within and outside our Church as well as for all who faithfully struggle with their beliefs.
• Show ability to offer leadership in the Church and in the outside world. This would include the capacity to offer an example of faith and discipleship, to collaborate effectively with others and to guide and shape the life of the Church community in its mission to the world as community-builders, competent administrators, and reconcilers.
• Be able to speak of his or her vocation to ministry and mission. This sense of vocation will be obedient, realistic, and informed.
• Show an understanding of the Christian faith and a desire for a deeper understanding. Be in love with the faith, being formed by the Anglican tradition and always open to mystery and God's new revelation. Have a vision of what the community of faith might become and an energy and enthusiasm to inspire others. Delight in shared ministry. Demonstrate personal commitment to Christ and a capacity to communicate the Gospel.
• Show evidence of a commitment to a spiritual discipline, involving individual and corporate prayer and worship. Be able to create a sense of harmony, order and reverence which draws people into the presence of God.
• Be sufficiently mature and stable to show ability to sustain the demanding role of an ordained minister and to face change and pressure in a flexible and balanced way. Know how to get and receive consultation and personal help when needed.
• Demonstrate self-awareness and self-acceptance as a basis for developing open and healthy professional, personal and pastoral relationships as ministers. Possess a sense of humor, reflecting trust and delight in God's surprises. Show respect for the tradition of the Church on matters of sexual morality and other ethical issues.
• Have the necessary intellectual capacity and quality of mind to undertake a course of theological study and pastoral preparation.
These qualities will be most obvious in well seasoned individuals, though no one is expected to possess all of them. In those who are still very young, we will seek a particular hunger to grow in these areas. We hope that we will always make room for the godly mavericks who will never fit a checklist.
Because the training and nurturing of Postulants and Candidates require a considerable commitment of time and energy from the Diocesan community, it is impossible for the Diocese to accept all persons who might qualify for Holy Orders. In selecting Postulants, COM will also consider the particular needs of this Diocese as they may be manifested at various times.

When buying a vehicle from an auto dealer, there are many options available to the consumer. Here we will provide information on how the sales tax applies to the different transactions that may occur.
A lease is any transfer of the possession or control of tangible personal property for a fixed or indefinite term, for consideration. Leases include future options to purchase or extend, and agreements where the amount of consideration may be increased or decreased by reference to the amount realized upon the sale or disposition of the property.
The link below will take you to a memo drafted by the Ohio Department of Taxation explaining how leases of motor vehicles are taxed.
Leasing Memo
Please see the Information Release for details.
The Ohio Department of Taxation has compiled a list of frequently asked questions covering many different categories.
To view the questions, click on the "Select Category" bar and then click on the category in which you are interested. A list of questions will appear pertaining to that category. Then click on the question you are inquiring about and the answer will appear.
Is GAP taxable?
GAP stands for guaranteed auto protection. It is a coverage sold when a new car is purchased or leased. In the event a vehicle is totally destroyed, it covers the negative difference between the vehicle's value and the amount still owed on the loan.
If GAP is sold with the motor vehicle and included in the retail buyer's agreement for the purchase of a motor vehicle, or in a retail lease agreement, it is subject to sales tax. Conversely, if GAP is sold separately from the retail buyer's agreement or lease agreement of a motor vehicle, it is not subject to sales tax.
R.C. 5739.01(B)(10) includes the definition of a "sale":
All transactions in which "guaranteed auto protection" is provided whereby a person promises to pay to the consumer the difference between the amount the consumer receives from motor vehicle insurance and the amount the consumer owes to a person holding title to or a lien on the consumer's motor vehicle in the event the consumer's motor vehicle suffers a total loss under the terms of the motor vehicle insurance policy or is stolen and not recovered, if the protection and its price are included in the purchase or lease agreement.

The good thing about it is I have real data to bounce off of the speed calculator as a data checker. Distances of 30 feet to 300 feet, takeoff angles of 11, 16, 22 and 28 degrees, landing angles of 8, 12 and 14 degrees and speeds from 33 to 82 mph.
Again, thanks for the input. I guess my next step is to take a class or two and figure these things out for myself so I don't have to keep bugging you folks.
R = bv
where R is the resistive force, a vector quantity directed opposite the direction of motion; v is the velocity of the object; and b is a constant (you know, one of those "constants" that varies in every situation) that represents the properties of the medium and shape/size of the object.
R = (1/2) DpAv²
where D is the "drag coefficient", p (should be a rho) is the density of air, A is the cross-sectional area of the object, and v is again the velocity. This formula is for objects moving at high speeds, such as planes, cars, and meteors.]]>
I am putting together a spreadsheet that will calcualte speeds for this type of jump and I am almost there. The difficlut part is factoring in the wind resistance. Plenty of ballistics formulas out there but none with air resistance.
Again, thank you for your persistance, much appreciated.
Thanks - Joe]]>
You know the ramp's slope measures 130', but along the ground it is only 127', so all slope measurements should be ratiod accordingly.
So the 75' 4'' (75.333') becomes 75.333 x (127/130) = 73.59' (73' 7'')
Add that to the 235' and the total horizontal jump = 235 + 73.59 = 308.59']]>
I'll try to make it a little more clear by giving the facts of the scenario. This is real world - last Saturday, a motorcycle jumper jumped a claimed 310' 4" for the record. This was measured by running a steel tape along the ground from the leading edge of the takeoff ramp to the leading edge of the landing ramp which measured 235' for the gap meaurement. A mark was made on the landing ramp where the jumper had landed (on the 130' hypotenuse) and this was measured with a steel tape from the top of the landing ramp (28' tall oppostite side - corresponds to measurement taken along the ground from the takeoff to the landing ramps) with a distance of 75' 4" down the slope. Since the actual distance of the jump should be measured along the adjacent only (from the leading edge of the takeoff to the corresponding point on the ground where he landed on the ramp), my argument is that the method used to measure the distance is incorrect. I need to prove this with a formula that accurately determines the true distance travelled with the data gathered in the method that it was recorded. Trig classes from over 20 years ago tells me they are wrong but I don't have the smarts to translate that into a formula. He still has the record (previous record of 277.5' measured the same way) but I would like to see accurate measurements.
Thanks again,
(wish I had a nifty saying)]]>
So, you have solved the right triangle using Pythagoras Theorem a²+b²=c², but you now want another measurement, correct?
BTW A sketch would be handy - you can upload it with your message (press Post reply and look for the upload slots selection)
But I think I can understand what you want ...
First let's solve the big triangle:
a²+b²=c² =⇒ a = √(130² - 28² ) = √(130² - 28² ) = 127
Is that what you got?
Now, if you measure down the hypotenuse 75' you would be 127-75 = 52' up the slope.
Now you have a new (smaller) triangle that has an adjacent of 52', and the same angle in the corner, so you could just ratio off the lengths.
So, the smaller triangles hyptenuse would be (52/127) * 130 = 53.2
And the smaller triangles opposite would be (52/127) * 28 = 11.5
Or then again, I may have got this all mixed up]]>
I managed to figure out the overall adjacent length with the known opposite and hypotenuse lengths but can't get that last part.
Any help at all would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.]]>

Powerful slides, shared online
Strong messages need to be paired with equally strong visuals. Pat Phelan had some strong messages for the Irish tech community – as well as a very special "one more thing" announcement – to be delivered at a conference so he came to us to get visuals that would hammer the message home.
Great "real" advice for startups from great @patphelan https://t.co/hXJDQDLm5s pic.twitter.com/KCQuCvJxkd
— Aitor Goyenechea (@Aitor_goy) May 8, 2016
The event itself was relatively small (circa 100 attendees), and it's always advisable to try and get as much lifespan out of great messaging as possible so we advised that the slides be posted to Slideshare to get the presentation extra reach, and boy did we get extra reach. The slides made it to Slideshares "featured section" and to date the presentation has been viewed over 3,200 times!
Check out Pat's presentation below.
Not your average press release
Kemp Technologies had just hired a superstar and wanted to let the tech world know it. Rather than going down the route of releasing a boring press release they decided a visual story delivered through the means of slideshare and got in touch with us to bring it to life.
