Why isn't there any other picture than the first one?
If you type "FIRST!!" in too quickly it stops all other pictures instantly
No.. it doesn't.. I've been on this page for around 20 minutes and nothing is loading. I'm not new into computers and internet so I know what's wrong and what's not.
I just see the first picture.. – do you see the rest?
no, the rest of the pictures do not show because you typed "FIRST!" now none of us can see the rest of the pictures
After I read your post the images stopped loading. Could it be because I read the word "first"?
Yeah – you only get to see the first picture
Hahaha… seriously… you suck! 😀
OMG look at that plane you can even see the rust on the sides of the fuselage, wings and tail. Typical Russian planes rightly dubbed flying coffin by the media cause they crashed so often. 🙁
Have ever seen an operational combat airplane up close, I mean not russian, but NATO, or Chinese?
And a few years back Ukrainian plane crashed into the crowd killing over 70 people at air show. Yes you are the best!
that's the accident i meant. Accidents happen you can't do nothing about it. But the pilot died trying to lead away the plane from the people. YES! we are the best. And by we i mean russians & ukrainians & belorussians.
Miss india is a pakistani not india masquarading as miss india to spread enimity between indians &russians. BTW Indian Air Force has mostly russian planes.
Take it easy. She's NOT an Indian. Most here know that. She's masquerading in a fake id to spew venom in this forum. Maybe she's a common enemy of Russia and India.
Such a beautiful piece of engineering… for terrible purposes.
Fly around the world for an aircraft that size? No way! It can't be done unless the aircraft refuels in mid-air.
With the right fuel:weight:power ratio it can be done. The further a plane flies means the less it weighs due to the spent fuel, and the less fuel it takes to power it. This ratio keeps changing for the benefit of distance until the fuel runs out.
1,500 miles, you should check your facts. The radius of a Tupolev Tu-22 M is about 7000 kilometers (even more with external fuel tanks.),that is about 4350 miles. Even more with external fuel tanks.
Which is more than the radius of an American B-1B lancer.
the Combat Radius (unrefueld, I think, would be around 5000-6000 kilometers. What is between 3125 and 3750 miles. As far as I know, and what I found on google there are no official numbers about the combat radius. But the 1500 miles what you said for combat radius is to small in my opinion. (BTW: happy new year, for me time to go :))
Ummm I think the point was.. if 4000km 2000nm, 3124nm, 1500nm or 7000km it still isn't anywhere near around the world.
It has a 7000 kilometer range. Also, it has a combat radius of about 2500 kilometers. That's far from "flying around the world."
And it's being produced since '72..
The TU-22 is a good regional bomber, it does however need air to air refueling to fly around the world.
It is not allowed to have that capability however due to Arms Limitations Treaties with the US. Although there has been some talk about abandoning it.
Can if fly from, ohh . . . just for example, as a hypothetical situation, could if fly without this refuel from Tehran to Tel Aviv?
It can, of course. 🙂
Nice to have you back Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. 🙂
This plane can definitely fly without refuel from Tel Aviv to Tehran. :))
are you talking about fuel ? 😉
I was just kidding. I feel sorry for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 🙁
He is gonna loose if he decide to mess with Israel 🙂
eh, why would you mother give birth to something like you?
are you talking to your mom??? 🙂
are YOU talking about YOUR mom?
Wow. guys, guys, just to make something clear – Tu-22 doesn`t NEED to fly from Tehran to Tel-Aviv – all it has to do is take-off from Tehran, launch its missiles and then land safely, in Tehran. There you go…
Is it the aircraft the friends from "Peculiarities of National Hunt" used to transport a cow? The movie was made during the good old pre-Putin times, when Russians were not taking themselves so seriously…
Yes it is! I love it! 😀 It's pretty funny eh
"The movie was made during the good old pre-Putin times, when Russians were not taking themselves so seriously…"
Pay attention to the recent "Election Day", to see that Putin made no difference. You know, KGB guys were initially human beings, so they can smile and LOL and even ROFL, esp. after some training 😉
There were also sequels of both "Peculiarities…" and "Election Day" but they're not as good as first parts.
For the record it cannot fly around the world un refueled. It could if the air to air refueling probe was installed, under the START treaty they have to be removed. This is interesting as none of the US Bombers have this requirement. Although there is no US equivalent to this airplane. This is a high speed hi altitude aircraft like he B-1A which was never produced. The B-1B is a subsonic highspeed low altitude penetrator.
Some reports state that tu 22 can be used for low alt high speed penetration like the B-1B , but when this model was debuted in 1969 this was not really a common practice for strategic bombers. Only the American F-111 a tactical bomber used this.
Regardless even assuming the parity of the tu22m and the B-1B, it is interesting that no US bombers have restrictions on air to air refueling. I wonder if this was an answer to the numerical superiority of nuclear russian missiles and MIRVS.
US bombers do not have restrictions on refueling, but they do have restrictions on nuclear ordinance carrying, including nuclear capable cruise missles, which are limited to the B-52.
All the START stuff is really complicated, I believe though the B-1s and B-2s are limited to a conventional role only under it. The B-1s can be reconverted to nuclear carriage with 90 days notice.
I wonder if german engineering went into this plane.In the past both USA and Russia were seeking german tech.
Somewhat, but very very long ago. The 45 degree swept wing aerodynamics that the Germans pioneered in the 1940s, and the basis for the axial flow turbojet engine, by Hans von Ohain in the late 1930s in Germany.
Outgrowths from these basic designs form the basis for most of the combat aircraft in the world today.
No unique aviation technology has come out of Germany in some time however.
I can only see one image.
Me too. Just see above..
Georgians shot down one like this flying recon mission during Russian invasion. Russkies were very surprised about it. What a shame. Hehe! :))
Ukraine's government respects Georgia's sovereignty and that seems to make Russian people very angry. Overall though the consensus is that Russian army and air force is now quite outdated and needs more mobility. They won by overwhelming Georgia.
As the US didn't do that anywhere in the world? Only difference is that we're doing it near our borders which ensures OUR national security and stability.
US does it anywhere in the world out of imperial ambitions.
Perfect example are Chille in Iran which were both US-installed (violently!) fascist regimes extremely friendly to the US.
Russia isn't angry because the governments in Ukraine and Georgia are not Russian satellites but because they are openly HOSTILE to Russia, which leads us to believe it is another hegemonic venture.
So, do you not see anything strange with Georgia being "hostile" towards Russia, after Russian soldiers have been squatting on Georgian soil for years, harboring armed separatists firing at Georgians? Would you expect Georgians to fall in love with you for that?
You say, Ukraine openly hostile towards Russia. Or is it Russia which is openly hostile towards Ukraine? Well, at least towards that part of Ukraine people, who are not puppets of Moscow, like Yanukovich. Besides, remember, Yuschenko was poisoned, and the tracks lead to Moscow (just like with that Polonium in London case).
Etc. …
If you want to make friends, then do behave like civilized people!
First thing to do would be to re-evaluate the Bolshevik history of your Evil Empire, so that there is a chance for you to become a normal country. Otherwise Putin junta is dragging you back into the bloody Bolshevik swamp more and more by each passing day.
And talking about fascism, modern day Russia looks extremely similar to Germany of 1930-ies. We all know how the Germans ended up, see that you do not repeat their mistake.
Wanna elaborate?
I am bringing up a world problem while you on the other hand are playing on America's "exceptionalism".
Since you brought up Nazi Germany, they too demanded respect and authority, usually through military means. If you know your history well, you'd also know that most of Europe and many politicians in the US were SYMPATHETIC to fascism at first. They deemed it useful in combating communism and saw it as a new way to "unite the western world".
Comparing America to a pretty lady and Russia to a dirty bum is chauvinism at best, considering the nation is much older than yours, with a richer history, which produced many talented people which contributed to world culture and development.
And it's not like Russia is demanding anything unreasonable, simply stability on it's OWN borders. And not like that part of the world is ANY of America's business whatsoever.
oh wait… I suppose nothing isn't America's business in the post-soviet world. right?
– I am not "playing on America's "exceptionalism"", I am saying that they are doing better then most and as such they can serve as an example and earn respect and have voluntary followers. Unlike Russia.
– "Nazi Germany, … demanded respect and authority, usually through military means". Exactly. Just like Russia is doing now. Russia threatens nearly everyone and DEMANDS respect (instead of earning it).
– "most of Europe and many politicians in the US were SYMPATHETIC to fascism at first" Ha Ha!!! What a foolish thing to say for a Russian!!! :)) Wasn't that you who befriended Nazis and concluded cooperation agreement with them? Wasn't that you who together with Nazis tore apart Poland and had a common military parade in Brest? Haha! You can read old Pravda newspapers and see how Red Army bravely fights Polish "bandits" hand in hand with Nazi friends. Wasn't that you who divided Europe in agreement with Nazis and quickly collected part of Romania, Baltic countries and tried to do the same with Finland. Also you may read in old German newspapers about plans for a common German-Russian-Japanese union against the "rotten Western democracies". Jeee… Did you even know these things? Or it is OK with you because that served Mother Russia well :)) And YOU call ME a chauvinist? Ha Ha!!! What a typical Russian hypocrisy 🙂
– "Comparing America to a pretty lady and Russia to a dirty bum" – Sorry, but this is how it looks now. That is not my fault. (I bet you will argue that it is not Russian fault
either – it is someone else's fault of course, probably USA's. 🙂 )
– "nation is much older than yours" – Heh. Maybe. Depends upon what you consider a nation. Starting with former Mongol collaborators cut-throats of Muscovy. Strangely, for most of the time Russia was ruled by non-Russians, remember for example Katherine who was German from Baltics. The nobility in Russia normally spoke either French or German.
– "richer history" – Oh yes, a very rich history of despotism, bloody wars and oppression.
– "produced many talented people which contributed to world culture and development" – Yes. Just like any other nation. If we take into account the huge size of Russia – even less. Besides – who Russian are? Was Mendeleev Russian (Mendeleev – i.e. Mendel'son – Mendelson = Jew)? Was Gogol (Gogol – Hohol = Ukrainian, who originally wrote in Ukrainian) Russian? Was Pushkin (Offspring of a black man from Africa, who learned French before Russian and originally wrote in French) Russian? Maybe. Or maybe not. Depends upon definition.
– "Russia is demanding … stability on it's OWN borders" – Heh. Just like you once demanded the same for border around Leningrad and invaded Finland in 1939? Well, why shouldn't Georgia for example demand stability on ITS OWN borders? Or Ukraine? Or Estonia? Do they have less rights then you because they are smaller and weaker? Oh, sorry, I forgot, that in current Russian mindset they are not "real countries" at all. Even Russia's foreign minister horse-face Lavrov publicly called Georgia "a virtual project" and not a country.
– "And not like that part of the world is ANY of America's business whatsoever" – Sure. But it is business not of Russia alone, but also of all the other countries it does border, who may have their own opinion about it, which may differ from that of Russia but should be equally respected. And some of them just happen to have American friends, you see.
– "I suppose nothing isn't America's business in the post-soviet world. right?" – Maybe. Must note that nothing of it is Russian business too on equal terms.
I am not American, by the way.
This is an excellent rebuttal, full of little-known but significant historical facts.
"Maybe Georgia wants stability on their own borders?" ?!?!!?!??!!??!
They should have though of that before invading South Ossetia and Abkhazia and attacking Russian outposts and killing Russian soldiers.
Now that I can see the other photos it looks like a F14 or F15 (one of the 2).Russia got their Buran space shuttle from us,maybe they copied our jets as well.
Yep!! Totaly, especially since this aircraft was designed years before the F-14. Come on, all scientists eventually arrive to the "same right answer" – there are only a few designs that make absolute sense, so they all end-up looking similar. Don`t need to copy, it just makes sense from the aerodynamic perspective
I've been the first twice. Do you think I care that you don't care that I don't care that you don't care that I totally don't care?
I kiss the TU-22!!!! When I see one fly above my house, I raise a wodka glass and toast "drop one little bomb on a capatilst for me!"
Tu-22 Backfire is one of the major achievement of Soviet Bomber aircraft design- it was advanced technology in 70's
Last month I saw a couple of them on static exhibition, at Kiev Aviation Museum. I thought it was outphased. If I remember well, information plate was saying range about 6500km.
@Miss India said: "OMG look at that plane you can even see the rust on the sides of the fuselage, wings and tail. Typical Russian planes rightly dubbed flying coffin by the media cause they crashed so often"
There's no rust. Can't be. Unlike Indian "Tata" long range bombers which probably made out of riveted iron, Russian aircraft made out of pretty complex alloys. So – no rust sorry.
Иностранные любители авиационной техники, будете в Московской области проездом рекомендую посетить музей авиации что в Монино.
Yes you must be punished. Don't like Russian don't come here. Isn't simple?
Я за действия дельцов временщиков не отвечаю, их самих следовало там порубить на винегрет. Что тебе так сдался этот албанский, ничего в этом коверканье русского языка хорошего не вижу? Лучше скажи почему ты стал так ненавидеть свою Родину и видеть в США землю обетованную?
In Korea, the American F-86 matched up well with the MiG-15.
Then the Amis tried to make aircraft that could do everything, and as a result we built a number of aircraft that could not do anything well. It was like trying to build one plane that could run like a sports car, could take the family on a long vacation, and could haul coal.
Consequently we lost a lot of aircraft in Vietnam.
During the late 1950s and 1960s the Americans came up with the swing-wing concept. The swing-wing was supposed to operate from short fields, fly long distances at low speed with the wings extended, and sprint rapidly (with the wings tucked-in) for defense or offense. But the yoke that controlled the wings was too heavy and too bulky, and there were too many compromises so that the swing-wing could not do anything well. Unfortunately we built a lot of them so they are still around.
The Soviets did not want to fall behind, so they too built a swing-wing. Beautiful craft. But the Americans finally decided that swing-wing was not the way to go, and the only good that came out of the effort was that the Soviets wasted a whole lot of time and effort trying to keep up.
>> …the swing-wing could not do anything well …
Strange. The US Navy's Grumman F-14 Tomcat did its mission of fleet air defense, and later ground attack, quite well, as some MIG drivers might attest to if they survived. The Tomcat drivers (Tomcat pilots) I've spoken with have nothing but praise for the F-14, and it handled the harsh life on a carrier well for over 30 years. It's a pity it had to be replaced by a newer if not inferior (to it) platform.
Everyone hates plane nerds
Da uj veselo jivem!!!
That is one beautiful bird.
Tu22 was too clumsy and slow to dodge rockets in Georgia this summer
Great website. Good start on the translation. Keep up the good work
Yes, you're right, this plane is too small to have round-the-world capabilities.
Only big ones as B-52 are capable of that.
I would like Miss India to explain just how aluminium rusts – it doesn't! I suppose she thinks aircraft are made of steel or iron.
The brown stains usually seen on aircraft are merely hydraulic fluids or similar.
Cretins should not open their mouths to reveal how ignorant they are. Miss India = dolboeb!
I love menacing Soviet flying stuff.
I dont usually reply to posts but I will in this case. WOW!!
You did an outstanding feat uploading these pics – thanx very much !
Love the photographers craftmansship and the quality of the pics as well.

The Domestic Intelligence Imperative
How do we deal with the enemies among us?
By Michael Tanji
This is a banner week for intelligence-related stories, and the biggest story so far is summarized in this post at Secrecy News about the expanded use of intelligence resources in and on the US.
Issues surrounding domestic intelligence are going to come to a head a lot sooner than most people think. The pending satellite reconnaissance flail is probably going to be the tipping point. It is going to be painful to watch various department heads testify to the fact that we don't have a good handle on how to execute this mission much less who is best suited to do so. There are plenty of pretenders to the throne, just not a good way to assess legitimacy.
Of course there is no shortage of people who claim to fear the police state we are supposedly creeping towards. Never mind the list of intelligence failures, management screw-ups, and administrative mayhem is dramatically longer than examples of intelligence community competence (or actual community-like behavior). We are to assume that suddenly competence and cooperation will spring forth once intelligence officers realize they can read their neighbor's mail and spy on them via their web cams. Such wishful and fuzzy thinking flies in the face of both history and reality.
The fact of the matter is that the intelligence community is already drowning in a sea of perfectly legitimate and potentially dangerous material associated with foreigners. America's spies are really not interested in data that is of no use, and that is what the vast majority of personal communications in this country is: useless. Ever listened in (inadvertently of course) to the average conversation of the average 20-something strolling through the mall or airport, on a commuter train or in a coffee shop?
It will of course be argued that no self-respecting Big Brother is going to use his power for that sort of work; it's the dissidents and opposition that will be targeted. COINTELPRO and CHAOS are offered up as proof as to how far an administration will go to advance its agenda, but for every MLK Jr. that was snooped on, there were dozens or more that belonged to groups like the Weathermen, the Klan, and many other groups hell bent on damaging if not destroying the country. Abuse on a personal level is the exception, not the rule.
The problem we face today with regards to domestic intelligence is in many ways the same problem we have always faced: how do we deal with the enemies that are among us? The solutions to date have proven to be both unimaginative and uninspiring.
Turning our national intelligence apparatus on domestic targets is not difficult from a practical perspective, but the addition of a domestic mission would merely degrade our ability to deal with the foreign missions we already have. Absent legislation that would greatly expand the size of the IC, the community is faced with hiring more contractors and exposing itself to more of the problems that such a strategy brings.
Since a sea-change is not likely any time soon, that leaves us to nibble around the edges of current intelligence-related law. The new FISA legislation is a step in the right direction, as is the six-month sunset clause. Our intelligence system ought to be able to demonstrate to its overseers that the program is functioning as advertised AND producing meaningful results. It may be that things don't work out as planned, in which case closing such a program down is both good policy and good economics. However, if such a program is indeed working and working well, it should stand as an example that prudent use of available resources, combined with effective oversight, significantly reduces opportunities for abuse and does not in fact lead to the downfall of the Republic. In that case, we should be looking at re-tooling all of the pertinent intelligence legislation and policy that is currently hampering our domestic intelligence capabilities.
Of course the weak point in this course of action is oversight. I've sat on a dais with Congressman Hoekstra, the former chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He's a great guy who really knows his stuff, but he's working with people who frankly are not up to the task. Not to mention that he's got to get re-elected every two years, and the hundred other plates he's got spinning at any given time. I'm a big fan of oversight, but our representatives could benefit by the use of full-time professionals, something the community has successfully fought to date.
The government's primary job is keeping us safe. A nation that lets its enemies operate unchecked - regardless of where they operate - is one that is in danger of extinction. All of the rights afforded us via the founders are inapplicable once our own regime is changed. A well-designed, robust, and effectively managed domestic intelligence capability can help prevent such a thing from happening and do so without violating the rights of the innocent. Wherever you fall out on this issue the answer is not hyperbole but vigilance; by your representatives and yourselves. If you truly believe we are being led down a primrose path, then it is your responsibility to put people in office that will operate per your consent, not lambaste the professionals who place their own lives on the line so you don't have to.

In the past 50 years, plastic has exploded in its use in nearly every industry, especially food. Plastic is durable, flexible and most importantly, cheap. Manufacturers know this and just in 2013, 299 million tons of plastic was produced. The production of this material is set to double within the next two decades and quadruple in the next 50. Unfortunately, only 14% of this plastic packaging is actually collected for recycling.
So where does it all go? About a third of all plastic packaging ends up clogging infrastructure or in nature. More than 9 million of tons of plastics end up in our beautiful oceans and stay there for hundreds of years before any decomposition. We're essentially disposing off an equivalent of one garbage truck into the ocean. Per minute. To give you a fuller perspective, check out this infographic:
Click here for full size.
According to a just released report by Ellen Macarthur Foundation, the ocean already has a 1:5 plastic to fish ratio. That ratio will get horrifically worse for our oceans, as we are on track to have more plastic than fish (by weight), in just 34 years. This report has been compiled from nearly 200 interviews with experts and analysis of over 200 reports.
The report also estimates that by the year 2050, the production of plastics will triple. This will also result in the plastic economy accounting for 15% of the world's carbon budget (currently at 1% now). A carbon budget is an estimate by scientists of how much CO2 the world can pump into its atmosphere, while remaining 2 degrees away from global warming.
According to the EPA, United States alone generated 254 millions of trash (12.8% plastic) in 2013 alone. Only 34% of which was recycled or composted. That means 66% of that waste ended up in our environment and oceans. Landfills are taking up precious space, leaking into our environment and ultimately destroying our planet. It can take some plastics 1000 years to biodegrade. This also ends up killing a lot of sea life such as turtles, dolphins and fish, who often get entangled in these plastics.
Here are some other facts:
- If we recycled all the plastic that we currently don't, we could save over a billion gallons of oil and 44 cubic yards of landfill space annually. If we recycled just 1 out of 10 HDPE bottles that we currently throw out, we still would save about 200 million pounds of plastic going to landfills every year.
- We make enough plastic film yearly to shrink wrap Texas.
- Recycling plastic takes 88% less energy than making plastic from raw materials.
- A plastic water bottle contains 4 cents worth of water. About 50 billion plastic bottles are used yearly.
Where's the public outcry?
While this report came out recently, the information has been there for over a decade. Why is no one outraged or scared? Because plastic waste is not a "hot" topic to cover. It's not sexy enough for the media. It won't be until we are just moments away from irreversible disaster. And we are already cutting it close. So ultimately, it's up to you to step up and share this information.
What can we do?
The report suggests that the only way to avoid these catastrophic results would be to improve the economics surrounding plastic and the way we recycle. Waste collection, incentives to recycle and prevention of plastic into our nature are keys to stopping what's to come in the year 2050.
Here's what you can do right now to have an impact:
- Share this information. You'll never know where this will end up and who will read it. Sometimes the right people simply aren't aware of a situation.
- Recycle. If you aren't already, do it now. 13% of all our waste in America is plastic. Another 41% is other recyclable materials. Instead, they're being buried under ground.
- Stop using plastic bottles. Not only they are detrimental to your health by leaking chemicals like BPA into your water, it is also extremely damaging to our environment. Americans throw away over 35 million plastic bottles every year. Replace them with a reusable container.
- Buy fresh and local food. Food sometimes travels thousands of miles to reach your store. This impacts the environment, your food quality, and also affects the plastic industry. Such foods have to be packed with a ton of plastic to prevent them from going bad.
- Avoid processed foods & cook more. This goes with #4, by buying local perishable food, you'll be forced to cook more. Don't think you have time? Take one day out of the week to prepare something for the week ahead. Store it in the fridge and make a side dish the day of. This will actually save you time. Avoid buying as much processed foods (anything that comes in a box or wrapping) as you can. Preparing fresh meals will save your health and our oceans.
- Grow your own food. An incredible way to take charge of your own food supply, save money and prevent waste. Better yet, start a community garden.
- Avoid buying products with unrecyclable packaging. Sadly even some organic products do this to save money and use packaging that cannot be recycled. Vote with your money and avoid this kind of packaging. Or simply reach out to the company and ask them to change.
- Use re-usable shopping bags only. Some states have already banned stores from giving away plastic bags. Do the right thing and bring your own re-usable bags. Plastic bags are rarely recycled and the average American family takes home 1500 plastic bags a year! The US goes through 100 billion plastic bags annually.
- Teach your kids and lead by example. The new generation is our best hope for a greener planet. Teach them great habits and they'll surely have a positive impact on our environment. But don't tell them, show them.

Koen and i had a pretty lazy (mommy-koen day)
We woke up like most mornings to the sound of the train across the river tootin' away, and of course woke up with the most amazing bed head. After breakfast got showered and were ready to head outside to play catch with the dog and explore. Came back inside for a grilled cheese and after lunch Koen crashed on me. Then after napping we of course had to watch Cars (its even better after the 117th time) and snaked on some cheese-its and a ROOT beer.

Four people who could shape the Hotel Northland's future
An independent, third-party manager, called a receiver, would be appointed to manage the Hotel Northland renovation project's finances and eventually sell the hotel to a new owner.
GREEN BAY - The City Council moved the Hotel Northland project one step closer to receivership with its 7-5 vote Tuesday.
The city backed a proposal by Virginia-based Octagon Finance to put Hotel Northland LLC under the control of an independent, third-party receiver provided the process pays subcontractors and gets the partially completed renovation done in one year.
RELATED: Council OKs receivership plan for Northland
RELATED: Hotel Northland's lack of progress has city's patience wearing thin
A Brown County Circuit Court judge will pick the receiver, whose job is to pay as much as possible to people owed money and also to figure out how to complete the project.
Tuesday's contentious discussion of the Northland laid out the task ahead: Securing at least $24.5 million to pay off subcontractors, finish the renovation and operate the hotel.
But the council meeting also included comments from four key people likely to pursue a role in completing the Northland. Here's a look at who to watch, their history with the Northland and interest going forward.
Keith Harenda
Affiliations: CEO of KPH Construction Inc. and owner of Hotel Northland LLC.
Northland roles: Owner, developer, general contractor.
Last we heard: Working to bring Madison-based Kothe Real Estate Partners on board as co-developers in exchange for a $3 million investment in the project.
Long-term interests: Unclear. Harenda's spokeswoman could not be reached to discuss his interest should it go into receivership. But he has made a substantial investment of time and money in the project.
Details: Harenda spent all of 2017 trying to find a lender after Huntington Bank pulled out of the project. Without a new lender, Harenda has been unable to resume construction and complete a buyout of his partner, Mike Frantz. In July, Harenda's construction company, KPH Construction Corp., filed a $12.3 million lien against Hotel Northland LLC, the company that was created to own and renovate the hotel. The lien seeks payment for work done by KPH on the project.
Mike Frantz
Affiliations: Frantz Community Investors, Hotel Northland LLC.
Northland roles: Initial developer, owner.
Last we heard: Pitched an alternative route to the Council on Tuesday for re-starting renovation of the hotel using a $13.5 million loan from a St. Petersburg, Fla. company, DCR Mortgage 7 Sub 1 LLC. He said the company committed the funds in an April 13 letter.
Long-term interest: Moderate. Doesn't think the Northland needs to enter receivership, but won't rule out making a push for ownership if it goes to court.
Details: Frantz is still waiting for Harenda to fulfill the terms of a buyout agreement reached in Brown County Circuit Court in April. In the meantime, he has pursued financial backing to complete the project and says he can finish what he started, preferably without a receiver.
"I still think there's some outstanding issues," Frantz said. "If it does go into receivership, I might make a play, but there are still a lot of questions out there."
JP Williamson
Affiliations: partner, Octagon Finance.
Northland role: Financier.
Last we heard: Williamson told the council Octagon has lent $13 million to the project through the purchase of historic renovation tax credits awarded to the project by the state.
Long-term interest: Protecting Octagon's existing investment in the project by paying subcontractors, finishing the renovation and opening the hotel. Williamson has said he is not interested in being the long-term financier of the project.
Details: Williamson told the council he expects the Northland will need $18.5 million to pay subcontractors for work already performed and finish the project, as well as another $5 million to operate the property after it opens.
"We are firmly committed behind getting the hotel open and getting the subcontractors paid," Williamson told the council. "We're willing to do so in the receivership process. But not elsewhere."
Dennis Doucette
Affiliations: Partner, Legendary Hotels.
Northland role: Wrote original Northland business plan, initially expected to manage hotel.
Last we heard: Doucette and his partner, Mike Frantz's brother, Steve Frantz, are still owed money for their early work on the operating plan and financial projections for the hotel. Doucette and Frantz are also involved in the renovation of the Hotel Retlaw in Fond du Lac.
Long-term interest: Considerable. On Tuesday, he told the Council that Legendary Hotels could make a push to buy the Northland when it comes out of receivership.
Details: "Legendary Hotels has considerable interest in the Northland should the property become available. First, we'd need to assess the current status of build-out to determine necessary costs to complete construction," Doucette said in a prepared statement. "Contingent on that assessment, we'd welcome an opportunity to present our vision for the hotel. (Legendary Hotels) is introducing a legitimate luxury hotel in Fond du Lac (the Hotel Retlaw) and the city of Green Bay deserves no less for the Northland."
Mayor Jim Schmitt, the City Council and Dennis Doucette got into some very heated exchanges Wednesday night during talks on the Hotel Northland project. Doucette, who wrote the original project's business plan, got upset after Schmitt accused him of requesting $10,000 from the city.

— Jim Burns
Most of us assume we have mastered self-control by now. And perhaps we have. A good test is to monitor how we respond to a nagging spouse or a disrespectful postman or vile-mouthed teenager. Do instances such as these make us angry or resentful? If so, we aren't exerting adequate self-control. Letting another's behavior, no matter how petty, disturb our inner peace means we aren't in control of ourselves. But we can be. There is still time to learn how, and most of us have all the time we need.
Why is self-control so valuable? Getting agitated feels good sometimes. We may think it's superior to boredom. But in truth, losing control of our emotions means we are always in the control of someone else. That too often means we are on a rollercoaster of ups and downs that exhaust us. Illness can even result. Another benefit of self-control is that we can lessen the turmoil around us, rather than add to it. The impact of any action or thought or quiet response is never ending. It's quite analogous to the pebble skipped across the pond. We are making subtle contributions to the world around us whether we are conscious of it or not. Let's be more careful of our input.
I will consider my input in all situations carefully today. What someone else does need not determine my actions.

Claire Danes has hinted that Homeland's second season is even more "intense" than its first.
The actress - who won an Emmy Award for the series on Sunday (September 23) - has revealed to Access Hollywood that her real-life pregnancy didn't temper the action on the hit series.
"It's going to get intense," Danes promised. "We're learning about where the season is going as it's unfolding and they're not taking it easy on me... [My pregnancy is] all okay... I've been very lucky so far."
Fellow Emmy winner Damian Lewis concurred with Danes, adding the viewers can expect even more shocks and thrills in season two.
"[The writers] haven't compromised the show," Lewis promised, adding of Danes's pregnancy: "This baby could come early if she gets chased across too many more rooftops!"
Danes previously revealed that he enjoyed taking a break from playing bipolar CIA agent Carrie Mathison on the Showtime series prior to season two.
Homeland returns for a second season on Sunday, September 30 at 10pm ET/PT on Showtime in the US and in the UK on October 7 on Channel 4.
Watch the season two trailer below:

I absolutely love the gym but there is one thing I do not like particularly about the gym-some men. There is nothing more uncomfortable than having someone who is interested in you watching you as you are working out. In particular I enjoy the machine that allows me to workout my glutes in which this requires that I bend over and lift a bar one leg at a time. Talk about uncomfortable with a set of eyeballs watching your bootay.
There are some gyms that are only for women and I think that is a brilliant idea!

The First Canada Cup of the season was held at Bear Mt. Resort near Victoria, BC. I was SO excited coming over to this race because 1) I had never ridden in BC before, 2) I got to miss school, 3) I hadn't mountain biked in MONTHS, 4) I was going to spend a week with my best friends, and last but not least 5) I was going to line up on the start line with some of the best riders in Canada and the world!
Thanks to Trek Store Toronto, I had this Trek Superfly race machine ready so early in the year!
I stayed with Team Ontario before and during the race, with my Coach, Kevin Simms, leading this group! (Quinton, Brodie, Marc-Antione, Dana, myself, and Tyler)
I arrived very late Wednesday night to mountain bike for my first time on Thursday, and to race Saturday!
There are some pre-race nerves (and determination!) hiding behind that smile.
We were SO insanely lucky that race day was mostly sunny and very warm! I was expecting a mud fest for this race... And although it is always a bit muddy in Victoria, we couldn't have asked for nicer weather.
A shot from the first kilometre of the race!
I started the race conservative, not knowing where my fitness was at after a long winter and knowing that the race would be much longer than what I'm used to.
Coming through the feed zone, receiving my bottles and encouraging words from Kevin!
I was very impressed with the course. It had everything: sustained, double track power climbs, flow and jump sections, twisty technical single track power ups, open grassy fields, and tricky single track with rocks and roots everywhere.
Thanks to Braison Images and Jay Walrus for some of these race action shots!
Overall, my race was very progressive. I had consistent lap times, so I was continuously picking off people throughout the race. I really surprised myself with my race endurance!
My final placement was 3rd U23, and 10th Elite! I am very happy with this result for an early season race, and I'm looking forward to my improvement from here.
Shout out and congrats to Quinton for winning the Junior Ex. race!!!
The day after the race I was lucky enough to join the top ladies on an epic MTB ride through Hartland trails! It was so inspiring to actually train with Catherine Pendrel and Emily Batty rather than just cheering for them in races. This ride also included many other rad riders who I've looked up to for many years.
A LOT of school.... Heading back to the second round of university midterms, then one month until exams!
Once I'm done my first year at the end of April, I'm going to be travelling for training and racing all summer long... starting with two World Cups in France and Germany!

The annual migration of wildebeest from the plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania to the grasslands in Masai Mara, Kenya is perhaps one of the greatest natural phenomena to be witnessed. Not only is it the world's largest concentrated movement of wildlife, but also the longest in distance; the wildebeest travel over 1,800 miles on their on their 9 month journey.
1.The Great Migration isn't a singular event—it's a yearlong cycle, a voyage driven mainly by food and water availability. In November-December herds arrive on the plains of the Serengeti, where they'll remain through March, feeding on fresh vegetation. Slowly the masses being moving west across the grasslands and begin their migration North around April. May through August the herds continue traveling northward, occasionally being stalled at certain crossings. Around mid-August- September the wildebeest face their greatest obstacle: The Mara River Crossing, a truly fascinating spectacle. By October, they are reversing their journey, following the rains Southward, with more grace to reach the Southern Serengeti once again.
2.Wildebeest are not the only participants of this cyclical journey—the approximate 1.5million migrating wildebeest are joined by hundreds of thousands of zebras, along with gazelles and antelope.
3. Zebras and wildebeest have forged a natural friendship, their relationship being symbiotic and for this reason they never part ways. Although they feed off the same type of plant, the zebra and wildebeest actually eat different parts of the plant allowing them to graze amicably. The zebra also take on the role of protector and navigator—they keep the herd on course and also remain on the lookout for predators. In exchange, wildebeest help the zebra (and themselves) find water. The animal is known for its keen ability to sniff out water and so, the pack is able to find water nearly every day of the journey.
4. The period between January-March is when wildebeest birth their young. During this time, half a million wildebeest are born (yearly). In the month of February the birth rate is about 8,000 calves per day.
5. The Serengeti ecosystem is one of the oldest on the planet. The vegetation, climate and fauna have remained unchanged for over one million years.
6. To explain the wildebeest's odd appearance, ancient African legend holds that God created the wildebeest using leftover spare parts.
7. As an observer, the migration may appear chaotic and disorganized (especially at the river crossing), however, researchers have found wildebeest's operate using 'swarm intelligence,' which basically means they explore obstacles and generate solutions as one.
8. There are about 3,000 lions within the Serengeti that follow (and prey upon) the migrating herds.
9. Wildebeest are a noisy lot. They emit a constant, low moaning sound and when agitated or disturbed will snort violently.
10. Wildebeest are one of the only African antelope species to increase in population size; in 1960 there were an estimated 250,000 wildebeest and today there are over 1.5 million.

Oh, yeah, I'm a book hoarder! Most of my books are on design, gardens, flowers or cooking, or are biographies or novels. I have them in every room in the house, except for the bathrooms. There are books on my mantels, on the shelves of my cabinet of curiosities, on the dining room table, on various chairs throughout the house and on most end tables.
I've stacked about 300 books on the floor of my third bedroom, which I will eventually turn into an upstairs sitting room. They're in 7 nice neat columns, the highest of which is about 3 feet high. Some of the stacks have an object of some sort displayed on top (i.e. a piece of coral, a mineral under a dome, an antler or a small sculpture, etc.), while other stacks are bare. The books will eventually find a home on shelves when I find the perfect pair of bookcases. But, in the meantime, they look good stacked on the floor.

We are like tiny droplets in an infinite ocean with no concern for whatever exists beyond what our minds can comprehend. This can be comforting when things feel overwhelming. On the other hand, we must maintain some sort of feeling of significance, or we run the risk of clenching onto what our purpose is in life.
Your purpose is not to be a author, an actor, a manager, an entrepreneur, a lawyer, a physician, or any other career out there.
Those are all positions. They are admirable, achievable goals. If you're trying to make something of yourself and use the talents you've been given, those are ideal things to be aiming towards.
But, they're not your purpose.
Your career is important. It's important to wake up every day with ambitions that make you feel like you're contributing to the world.
However, your whole world should not center around the line of work you are in. Work challenges you and forces you to think and encourages you to use your talents to improve whatever it is that you're trying to discover, create, sell, or fix. It helps to mold you into the person that you are, and it is a contributor to who you are.
But, it does not define who you are.
It's easy to depend on work to give you a purpose because work allows you to be judged. Work gives you the opportunity to say, "I'm worth money" or "I'm doing just fine because I got a promotion" or "This is good enough to pay my bills."
When you're trying to find your purpose outside of work, no one is paying you for it. No one is promoting you. Nobody is paying your bills. Nobody is bringing you into their conference room or office for evaluations.
This is why it is difficult to find a purpose outside of your career. No one is telling us if we're doing it right or wrong. No one is showing us the ropes. There's no training or ladder to climb up. You don't go straight up or straight down. You simply move in curves, twists, and turns, with no one there along the way to say that you're doing great, or you need to work on this, or you'll get promoted once you accomplish that.
Finding your purpose is up to you, and that's why it's terrifying yet at the same time exhilarating.
Finding your purpose is about learning. It's about finding out about as much as you can about the world. Traveling. Reading. Exploring new hobbies or interests. Conversing with strangers and actually listening to what they have to say. Asking questions. Lending a helping hand. Making a difference. Allowing time for you to focus on what fascinates you.
Finding your purpose is about spending time with people – people you love and care about. It's about finding the people you're with in those rare moments where you feel like you understand the world, even if it's just for a second. It's about finding people who make you laugh and provide support when you are going through something. It's about finding people who teach you and provide you with new and different perspectives. Overall, its about discovering people who make your life better.
Finding your purpose is about getting out of your comfort zone and doing things that terrify you. It's about doing things that make your heart throb and shoot adrenaline through your veins. It's about doing things that allow your body to remind you that it is very much alive and flourishing. It can be as physical as rock climbing, or as mental as a game of golf, or as spiritual as yoga. It's about doing the thing you're most afraid of, and then seeing how good your mind and body feel as soon as you're done.
Because truly, at the end of the day, when you've retired, you still have to keep on living. You still have to keep on finding your purpose when you're no longer receiving a salary. You have to find your purpose through other things in life – things that accelerate your wisdom, growth, courage, and strength.
Do not stress yourself out by convincing yourself that finding your purpose is just one more thing on your never-ending to-do list. Because here's the surprisingly liberating news: finding your purpose does not have an endgame. It's continuous. You are always going to be finding your purpose and you're never going to stop. This is just the beginning.

Must Read Advice Prior To Cosmetic Surgery
Enter subtitle here
When people hear 'cosmetic surgery,' they may think of shallow people that only change their appearance out of silly pride. However, there are often good reasons for getting cosmetic surgery,. Some are breaking your nose, or having unsightly scars. Read this article for some tips, on making the right choice!Go to the Department of Health of your state to get more information about your plastic surgeon. You will get more information about his or her education and find out if he or she is properly licensed. Stay away from any surgeon without a license or a legitimate college degree.Are you scared to get plastic surgery because of what other people will say? If you are, then it is very important to sit down with yourself. (and maybe a trusted loved one) Write down all the reasons that you are thinking about doing this. You don't need to answer to others, but you will feel more confident in your decision.Go to your state's Office of Insurance Regulation website, and look up your surgeon's name. You will have access to records on malpractices, and complaints. Also information on the insurance your surgeon has subscribed to. If this information does not match what your surgeon told you, you should move on.Take a trip to the place where your operation will occur. If you're having an outpatient procedure in your regular doctor's clinic, ask him if he can show you the operating areas. Comfort is extremely important in any surgical procedure, and a cosmetic one is no exception. Familiarizing yourself with the location will help cut down on your stress levels.You may want to ask to be put on an on-call list to save money. Being placed on this list means that you do not have a scheduled surgery date, but instead would be called in for your procedure when a spot opens up on your surgeons schedule, such as in the case of a cancellation. Because you would be saving the surgeon money lost on wasted preparations, they can often provide a discount.To ensure you get a good surgeon, ask where your surgeon has hospital privileges. Many surgeons practice from outpatient clinics instead of hospitals. Hospital privileges can still help potential patients determine the surgeon's credentials. Hospitals will do background checks against the surgeon's certifications, and malpractice history. Surgeons without https://findbestplasticsurgeon.com/texas-plastic-surgeons/el-paso/ need to have a good explanation for this lack.Be sure to ask about consultation fees before you go in for your first appointment. Some surgeons charge for the office visit, but then this cost is deducted from the final price of the surgery if you choose that surgeon. Others will charge you for the visit regardless of your final choice, and some offer free consults.Ask your plastic surgeon to see before and after pictures of patients, they have performed surgery on before. This way, you can see the kind of work they do and decide if this surgeon is right for you. If you do not like what you see in the pictures, visit another surgeon.Schedule a decent amount of recovery time following any cosmetic surgery. Healing time is needed for your body after any surgery. So clear your schedule, and give your body the proper time to heal. Don't be tempted to return to work too early. You may be feeling better now, but after strenuous activity, you may realize your body is not yet ready to take on the work day.There are many minimal invasive procedures available to improve one's appearance. For example, the drug, Botox, has been shown to can help alleviate and erase the signs of aging. One of the main uses of Botox is to remove lines and wrinkles such as frown lines. The average cost for Botox treatment in the United States is around $500.00.When planning a cosmetic surgery procedure, make sure you do your homework. Know all the risks involved. It is up to you to be fully informed about what is going to happen, or could happen with any surgery. It is your body, and you are the only one responsible for it.If you want to have cosmetic surgery, you should investigate all the possible side effects first. There are always risks involved when you have surgery, and having cosmetic surgery is no different. The only way to make an informed decision is to know what you can expect and what might happen.If you are planning your surgery for the long-term, then you should fix your diet immediately. If you already have a reasonable diet, you can fine tune it. The important point is to have a healthy lifestyle before, changing your body through surgery. This will allow the procedure to have the best impact possible.You should make yourself aware that cosmetic procedures cannot be treated as if you were shopping for a new body part. Cosmetic surgery can improve or strengthen a feature of your current physical traits, but it cannot re-do them. These procedures carry a risk with them, and you should be sure that you are 100% about the changes you are about to make to your body.Selfishness is a good characteristic when considering cosmetic surgery. Think of yourself first, no matter what. Even if you do a minor adjustment, surgically changing your appearance is a huge deal. You need to look elsewhere for answers unless you are sure you will be happy with the results.If possible, fill prescriptions for post-surgical antibiotics and painkillers before you have surgery. This way, the medications are ready and waiting for you when you return home. You won't have to make another trip out while in pain, or try to remember to fill your antibiotics while in a post-anesthetic fog.Cosmetic surgery does not always mean breast implants, or botox for rich women that have nothing better to do. Sometimes, confidence can be increased for people who have been in accidents, or have scars left over. Remember the tips in this article, so you can choose the right surgeon for you!
