THE Met has been awarded more than £3 million to transform the "deteriorating" Victorian theatre.
The funding from Arts Council England, totalling £3,045,400, will allow the theatre to be modernised while retaining its original features.
The project, which is worth £4.5 million in total, includes installing a mezzanine floor in the main theatre, the modernisation of public facilities, as well as improvements to technical and backstage areas.
A campaign to match-fund the grant, which will enable the works to begin, will be launched this year. There is also set to be developments at Edwin Street Recording Studios, to boost work with theatre companies and create working spaces for cultural organisations.
The theatre has received a double boost, after being named as an Arts Council national portfolio organisation which secures funding from the organisation for the next three years.
The grant comes after two years of work by bosses venue for such investment.
David Agnew, director of The Met, said: "This is an important step for the project.
"While not a guarantee, it allows us to continue conversations with other stakeholders about investment in the building to better reflect the quality of work we are presenting."
The Met is based in Derby Hall, a Victorian neo-classical building which was built in the late 1840s and originally used as a banqueting hall, meeting room, police station and magistrates court.
It was then used as a civic hall by Bury Council until it was taken over by the Bury Metropolitan Arts Association in 1980 and turned into an arts venue.
Theatre bosses say the plans — which have been developed by JMArchitects with Gardeiner and Theobold — are well overdue, with no wholesale revision being made to the venue in many years.
In 2013-14, The Met welcomed more than 38,000 visitors, as well as 7,000 to Ramsbottom Festival.
The funding awards come as the Arts Council announced its funding programme for 2015-18 in arts venues across Greater Manchester, with Islington Mill and The Lowry in Salford as well as Contact Theatre in Manchester also benefiting from capital grants.

I work for CVS Pharmacy as a Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) and Inventory Specialist. My job enabled me to transfer first to San Francisco, and later Charlotte, and I do enjoy the work. For the time being, I am satisfied where I am, but I am always looking for that next opportunity to advance, in house if possible, but unnecessary.
I love exploring around where I live, and enjoy simply walking around to discover new spots. I consider myself to be easy going, and I just let life come to me as it may. My two cross-country moves highlight my spontaneity, and I am most happy when on some sort of adventure.
I also like to cook, but the jury's out on how good I am...
Movies: Donnie Darko, The Princess Bride, Boondock Saints, Batman/X-Men/Avengers-related movies, The Departed, The Bourne Trilogy, Super Troopers, Office Space, MIB, and anything Judd Apatow related.
Shows: All the Netflix Originals (House of Cards, Santa Clarita Diet, Orange is the New Black, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Daredevil, etc), Game of Thrones, Westworld, Walking Dead, Blacklist, Breaking Bad, Dexter, 30 Rock, Weeds, Psych, White Collar, Boston Legal, Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe, and every Sci-Fi show that lasts about a season before being cancelled. I also watch every NFL game I can, and the occasional baseball/hockey/basketball game if it's on at a bar. John Oliver is quickly becoming a staple as well.
Food: I eat everything, and prefer seafood.
My phone (helped me get my bearings in the city).
A job I enjoy.
Sports (watching and playing).
The Internet.

If pollsters and election analysts are right, a hoarse and exhausted
But fast finishing Republican
It was a marathon, tense $US6 billion election in which two sharply differing visions of America's future were placed before a deeply divided electorate.
Whoever is elected President will likely emerge with a shaky popular vote, a divided Congress and a fragile mandate for tackling America's deep seated fiscal and economic problems.
The first challenge is the fiscal cliff – a mix of tax hikes and spending cuts equal to 5 per cent of GDP which will tip America back into recession if it takes effect on schedule on January 1.
Fundamental deficit and debt repairs – needed to avert another financial crisis sometime in the coming years – are the next priority.
The agony for Americans could be prolonged by several weeks by tight outcomes, compulsory recounts, and legal challenges against what the Democrats say is blatant voter suppression by Republican officials.
Court actions are on foot in Florida, where a federal judge ordered more time for early voting Monday, and Ohio, where a last minute bid to tighten voter ID requirements will be examined by a judge on the morning after polls close.
The legal threats are reviving memories of 2000, when a disputed outcome in Florida – ultimately decided by 537 votes – went as far as the Supreme Court, holding up the declaration of George W Bush as the winner over
Mr Obama and Mr Romney campaigned in five battleground states on election eve, capping a frantic final weekend in which they swarmed over the swing states of Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa in the Midwest, Florida in the Southeast and New Hampshire in the Northeast in search of elusive votes.
National polls drifted slightly into Mr Obama's court, and he retained slim leads in most of the battleground states that will decide the election. The Intrade betting site gave Mr Obama a two to one chance of victory. Republicans are almost certain to retain control of the House, and Democrats the Senate.
Mr Obama, joined by rockers
"Now is the time to ... make sure that in this country, no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter how you got started here in America, you can make it if you try," he told a crowd of 15,500 at a stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
Mr Romney, backed by Kid Rock in a late election eve rally drove a more positive message over the campaign's last days, arguing he was the candidate to bring Washington together and "real change" to America to restore its "greatness".
"Tomorrow, we get to work rebuilding our country, restoring our confidence and renewing our conviction,' he told a rally in Virginia, another must-win state.
Maximising early voting is part of a massive 'ground game' effort by the Obama campaign to overcome a deficit in enthusiasm among Democrats compared to the wave that swept Mr Obama to power in 2008.
The effort has been strongest in Florida and Ohio. Florida Governor Rick Scott cut the number of early voting days from 14 to 8, leading to long queues and waits of up to seven hours for some early voters, with voting finishing at 2.30am Sunday morning in Palm Beach.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted tried to limit voting on the last weekend before the election to military personnel, but was stopped by a court. He then tightened voter identification requirements on Friday, leading to further legal action.
"There's a clear pattern. We are seeing it really everywhere, wherever there is a Republican Governor or a Republican Secretary of State," said Martin Mangleman, an official at an Obama Campaign 'Get Out the Vote' centre in northern Columbus.
A shortfall in enthusiasm from the groups that voted overwhelmingly for Mr Obama in 2008 was evident in Franklin County, a few miles to the North of Columbus in Ohio.
"More people were actually answering their doors in 2008," said Michaelynn Jones, a nurse from Woodward Park, North Columbus, after canvassing for the Obama campaign's 'Get out the Vote' campaign.
"I didn't get a lot of door hits, and the people seemed to be more friendly in 2008. This time around I get more people who are not as friendly."
But Alicia Healey, canvassing for Mr Romney in North Columbus, said Republicans were more motivated to defeat Mr Obama this time than Democrats were to re-elect him.

Snap Poll Finds Voters Split on Judith Collins
Snap Poll Finds Voters Split on Whether Judith Collins Should Step Down as a Minister
A Q+A Colmar Brunton snap poll found that that voters are split on whether Judith Collins should step down as a Minister. But 75 percent of those polled said the Oravida saga and Maurice William's resignation as Minister would not affect who they would vote for.
Mr Joyce told TVNZ's Q+A programme he wasn't surprised by the results:
"I mean it wasn't a great couple of weeks but nevertheless what we did see in those poll results, and I think the numbers behind those results suggest, it's actually still, very still on partisan lines, so it's the Labour Greens voters that say the Prime Minister hasn't done a good job. It's the Labour Greens voters that say ironically that would change their vote, I'm not sure where they will change them to."
He rejected the suggestion that there was a public perception of cronyism in the National Party:
"It's just their spin, and I think Russel Norman and Trevor Mallard this last week - and I hope they spend a lot more time on television frankly - because these guys just want to have a mud wrestle, they're not winning the game, they're not winning politics based on the policies and the direction of New Zealand. They've sort of decided they want to have as mud wrestle about donations. And the simple fact of donations is that people give money to the parties whose policies and principles they support. It's true for the National Party, it's true for the Green Party I hope."
Here's the full poll report from Colmar Brunton:
Q+A, 9-10am Sundays on TV ONE and one hour later on TV ONE plus 1. Repeated Sunday evening at 11:35pm. Streamed live at www.tvnz.co.nz
Thanks to the support from NZ On Air.

- Use fresh herbs in this dish, the subtle taste the bring to the table is exquisite.
- Fresh parsley tends to be infested with aphids, thrips and other insects. Please see "Kashrut Instructions" below for instructions on checking parsley for insect infestation.
- 1 Tablespoon butter, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
- 8 canned artichoke heart quarters
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoons (packed) freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
- Rub butter onto bottom and sides of 2 (3/4-cup) souffle dishes or custard cups, dividing equally. Sprinkle with herbs, dividing equally.
- Drain the artichoke heart quarters well and pat them dry.
- Place 4 artichoke pieces in each dish. Crack 1 egg into each dish, being careful not to break yolk. Sprinkle eggs with salt, pepper and cheese.
- Bake at 400°F until eggs are softly set and cheese is golden, about 9 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
Kashrut Instructions
DESCRIPTION: Artichokes are ball shaped vegetables, about the same size as a tennis ball. They consist of many thick leaves concentrically arranged to form a rosette. These leaves stem from a solid base. Heart of artichoke refers to the base with layers of the innermost center leaves which are edible.
INFESTATION: Insect prone vegetables, such as artichokes, broccoli and spinach, are not made permissible by the freezing process. It is therefore recommended that these vegetables be purchased only when bearing proper kosher certification, as they are most difficult to check thoroughly.
DESCRIPTION: Fresh Chives, basil, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, and thyme are often used as spices or garnishing.
Please Note: Curly leaf parsley is very difficult to check. It is therefore recommended that only flat leaf parsley be used.
INFESTATION: Aphids, thrips and other insects may often be found on the leaves and stems of these herbs. Insects tend to nestle in the crevices between the leaves and branches of herbs. These insects can curl up and stick to the leaf once they come in contact with water.
Vegetable spinners, power hoses, and light boxes are not always available in the home. We therefore recommend the following alternate procedure.
RECOMMENDATION: In order to determine if a particular bunch of herbs is infested prior to washing, bang it several times over a white cloth. This is most important when checking oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme. If only one or two insects are found proceed with the steps below. If three or more insects are detected in a particular bunch of herbs it should not be used.
- Soak herbs in a solution of cold water and vegetable wash. The proper amount of vegetable wash has been added when some bubbles are observed in the water. (In the absence of vegetable wash, several drops of concentrated unscented liquid detergent may be used. However, for health reasons, care must be taken to thoroughly rinse off the soapy solution.)
- Agitate the herbs in the soapy water, in order to loosen the sticking excretion of the bugs.
- Using a heavy stream of water, thoroughly wash off the soap and other foreign matter from the herbs.
- Check both sides of each leaf under direct light.
- If one or two insects are found, rewash the herbs.
- If any insects are found after repeating the agitation process twice, the entire bunch must be discarded.
Please note: To prepare herbs such as cilantro, dill, or parsley for use in soups, wash them thoroughly and place in a cooking bag.

Ruby brings the Pharaohs back to life
Egypt's controversial singer Ruby has recently released her latest music video, "Ib'a Abilni" (Meet Me) under the direction of Sharif Sabri, which many consider to be her most provocative clip. Ruby and her business manager, Sharif, have been accused of going over the line by portraying Egyptian heritage in such a manner.
Throughout the clip, Ruby dons revealing costumes resembling the garb worn during the time of the ancient Pharaohs, and dances in a provocative manner. Critics have argued that the singer has not presented anything other than her usual style to increase the clip's popularity.
Ruby claims that she decided to portray the Pharaohs to show a different, and more humanistic side to their culture, which many only associate with burial rituals. She wanted to show people that their civilization was also celebrated the pleasures of life.
Sharif explained that his love and admiration of the pharaohs is what prompted the idea for the clip and it disturbs him that people have a distorted image of them. He tried to portray the Pharaohs in a modern sense to show their brilliance and personality.
Sharif stated that he is an artist and therefore does not concern himself worrying about negative criticism, and at the least the clip has sparked a dialogue regarding the proper role Pharaohs should play in present day Egyptian culture.
It has been suggested that Ruby's stardom was negatively affected by her last film "Seven Playing Cards," which was unsuccessful; however, Ruby remains in high demand.

Add "Whiteout" To Your Rental Que [VIDEO]
"Whiteout" was released in 2009 and is available widely now (I rented it from Netflix). I've got a spoiler free review and the trailer after the jump.
Why not watch a snowbound story during these hot days? Kate Beckinsale stars in this thriller. The story is pretty simple; there's a killer on the loose at a scientific outpost in Antarctica. The story isn't much more than that, it's just a fun ride figuring out who the killer is. Kate Beckinsale , who was in the "Underworld" movies, is so mind numbingly beautiful it's almost hard to concentrate on the movie. If I was the killer I'd let her shoot me in the face just to be close to her. Anyways, I don't know why the movie wasn't bigger when it was released, it's a good "hunt for the killer" movie set against a snowy backdrop. Check out the trailer below:

Owners: Dr. Alex J Smith, Rebecca Smith
Address: 3961 E. Chandler Blvd., Suite 106
Hours: Monday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Tuesday and Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; and Friday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Information: (480) 706-3060; azlifetime.com
Q: Where are you from and what did you do before opening your business?
A: I am a second-generation Phoenix native and my wife, Rebecca, moved to Phoenix when she was a year old. We spent a number of years in the Portland, Ore., area but Phoenix was always home.
Q: Why did you open your business in this community?
A: After we discovered that we were adding twins, had a 1-year-old daughter, and we knew that we needed to move home. Because I had worked in the Ahwatukee community for several years before going to optometry school, we knew it would be an ideal place to raise our family. Luckily, there was a practice for sale in the area in 2008.
Q: How did you get the idea to open your business?
A: Lifetime Eye Care was ready for the changes that we brought to it. Emphasizing the value inherent in quality and service has kept us growing. Our family atmosphere and friendly care have been appreciated by patients.
Q: What type of merchandise/services do you sell?
A: We provide comprehensive family eye care, including examinations, eyeglasses, sunglasses, corneal refractive therapy, traditional disposable or medically necessary contact lenses, home visual training programs and medical care (diabetes, glaucoma, red eye, etc.). We use the highest quality materials available and are committed to excellence.
Q: What does your business have in store for the future?
A: Our commitment to excellence will be further demonstrated this November when I will earn fellowship in the American Academy of Optometry, making me Ahwatukee's first private practice FAAO. This voluntary fellowship requires candidates to perform research, write numerous case reports, and then discuss them with a review panel. It has been challenging and time consuming, but I have already been able to utilize the depth and scope of knowledge to provide cutting edge care for patients.
Q: Anything else you want the community to know about you or your business?
A: As Ahwatukee residents, we support our community. Whether it's sponsoring Red White and Boom, school sports teams or donating items for fundraisers, we believe that it is important to be involved in helping our friends and neighbors.

(LAKEVILLE, Conn.) Jan.25, 2000 -Looking for the meaning of competition? Take a glance at the numbers from the Formula Dodge Southern Race Series weekend at Sebring International Raceway.
Three new track records. Three last lap passes for the victory. Four margins of victory under .302 seconds. Six different race winners in six races. It can't get much better than that.
The anticipated match-up between No. 1 & No. 2 (Scott Bassinder and Craig Duerson) certainly lived up to its billing. But there was back-and-forth, nose-to-tail racing in all three race groups. Every victory notched by Chris Baker, Matt Franc, Charlie Plumb, Rafael Sperafico, Bassinder and Duerson was well earned.
On Saturday, the Formula Dodge track record fell in three consecutive races. Bassinder held it first, then Baker eclipsed the mark only to see Chip Bryant take it away with a record lap of 1 minute, 20.266 seconds on the modified course at Sebring.
Bassinder first lowered the mark during an amazing duel with Duerson, a race he eventually lost on the final circuit. The lead changed hands 12 times in 21 laps. Duerson led 11 laps, Bassinder 10. Bassinder clung to first for four consecutive laps (the longest stretch out front for either driver during the race) before Duerson countered for the deciding pass on lap 21. The margin of victory was a mere .142 seconds.
Bassinder, who lost for the first time this season on Saturday, turned the tables on Sunday. Duerson led 16 of 22 laps, but not the one that counted most. Bassinder executed the last lap pass, edging Duerson by .155 seconds. Roland Isra picked up both Masters Division victories in Group 1.
Franc and Baker were the main combatants in Group 2.
Once again the driver who set the track record (Baker) failed to grab the checkered flag on Saturday. Franc led the final five laps for the victory over Baker and a very competitive Arnold Brinkmann.
There was a similar showdown between Baker and Franc on Sunday, a battle that featured five lead changes in the final nine circuits. This time, Baker made the right move on the last lap, passing Franc for the win. Both Masters victories in Group 2 went to Paul Lasko.
The same pattern evolved in Group 3, though three drivers were involved in this tussle. Sperafico, Bryant and Plumb took turns holding the point on Saturday. Bryant set the track record, but Plumb grabbed the victory for his first win in a Formula Dodge.
Sperafico wouldn't be denied on Sunday, despite sustaining heavy pressure from Bryant. He led the final 15 laps, holding off Bryant by just .283 seconds for his first series victory. Plumb was third. Shareef Malnik captured both Masters victories in Group 3.
The Formula Dodge Southern Race Series will return to Sebring for Rounds 7 & 8 on Feb. 19-20.

AS the local newspaper industry launches its highly acclaimed Local Business Accelerators campaign led by Deborah Meaden of Dragon's Den, new research shows that Britain's young businesses are positive about prospects for growth despite tough economic times but they still need advice and support.
The campaign, supported by the Government and private sector's Business in You campaign and backed by the Prime Minister David Cameron as well as the Governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King, launches today.
More than 500 newspapers across the UK are joining forces to deliver a £15m boost to promising young businesses through free advertising and mentoring.
Businesses aged between one and five years old can enter LBA for the chance to win a free ad campaign in their local paper plus mentoring support from local business leaders. The most promising businesses will go forward to the national stage of the competition to win a year's mentoring from Deborah Meaden and a local advertising campaign devised by a top London creative ad agency.
The South Wales Argus, is taking part in the scheme again this year and has enlisted the help of local businessmen Dylan Matthews, of the Celtic Manor Resort, and Matt Southall, of Newport-based recruitment company Acorn as mentors. They will join South Wales Argus editor Kevin Ward and the paper's business editor Jo Barnes in judging the local entries to the campaign.
LBA national ambassador Deborah Meaden said: "With last year's LBA having demonstrated the unique power of local and regional press to provide a meaningful boost to promising young businesses, I am delighted to be supporting the initiative once again.
"The campaign provided tangible examples of the real contribution that local newspapers can provide to young businesses across many different sectors, accelerating their development.
"Enterprise and entrepreneurism in the local community is more important than ever before and I look forward to finding another young business to mentor and drive forward."
Last year's overall LBA winner, Ilkley Brewery in Yorkshire, which is currently receiving mentoring support from Deborah, saw its orders in Leeds double as a result of the free LBA ad campaign in its local paper and the business expanded to take on two new employees since taking part in the initiative.
Research conducted by Toluna and campaign organisers the Newspaper Society reveals that a third of owners of young businesses expect some or significant growth in the next 12 months (35 per cent) with the majority saying they expected their businesses to perform at the same level (53 per cent).
Just 12 per cent said they expected decline. They cited high rent and rates, sluggish consumer demand, access to affordable finance, and access to advice as the biggest barriers for local businesses.
Owners were most likely to use local newspapers to advertise their businesses (22 per cent), followed by internet advertising (15 per cent) and directories (14 per cent). Local newspapers were cited as the most effective of all forms of advertising (49 per cent), followed by outdoor / point of sale (48 per cent), and internet (45 per cent).
Prime Minister David Cameron said: "The Local Business Accelerators campaign has provided tremendous support to fledgling businesses across the country and I am delighted that it will be running for a second year.
"Local newspapers play a vital role in their communities and are uniquely placed to support small businesses, giving them the boost that they need to grow, which is good for local areas and good for the economy as a whole.
"I hope more young businesses put themselves forward over the coming months and get involved with this innovative scheme, which rewards entrepreneurship and creative thinking in business."
Businesses aged between one and five years can enter the competition in their local newspaper via the LBA hub – www.accelerateme.co.uk – before the closing date of November 16.
More than 500 daily and weekly local newspaper titles are registered to take part in LBA which aims to highlight how local newspapers can provide a meaningful boost to young businesses.

As I mentioned last week, I recently moved into a new apartment, and it is difficult for me to feel properly settled until everything has been put in its place. This past weekend, I edged closer to that feeling of satiety and stasis, however. Just about every box is unpacked and every room arranged, but my closet is still a mess. It's all too easy to stuff things in the closet and just forget about them, isn't it?
In an effort to fight something that I've come to call "pack-ratitis," I try to clean out my closets every other season—discarding any broken items and donating whatever else I don't want—so as to prevent excessive stockpiling in my sideboards. Not only does this activity keep my gross number of belongings at manageable levels, it also augments my sense of organization, for as I clean out all of my wardrobes and cubbyholes, I also take a moment to sort and collate my items into more useful categories and classes. This makes it easier for me to locate that one thing I need to get out of the closet at some point in the future.
Recently, the site engineers here at InkHead actually did something similar with the Custom Apparel product category in the InkHead catalog. They reorganized the sub-categories, adding new ones, and renaming some of the old ones, so that they are more meaningful.
For instance, you can now find Customized Embroidered Sweatshirts and Personalized Promotional Sweatpants in the same category. Before, sweatpants were in the Custom Pants category and sweatshirts were placed in our Custom Embroidered Sweaters category, which has now been renamed to Sweaters & Cardigans.
We also made a new sub-category for Corporate Dress Shirts, separate from the Custom Logo Polo Shirts category, which is where these products would have been placed previously. In addition, we have created a new sub-category for women's and youth shirts in several of the apparel categories, making it even easier to locate the appropriate promotional product for your next marketing campaign.
Finally, we overhauled the Promotional Hats category, creating a new sub-category for Customized Beanies and placing most of the Custom Caps we offer into a single group. This will enable our customers to find the hats they want more easily, and that's what's most important to us: making ordering promotional products as quick and as painless a process as possible.
The recent re-organization of InkHead's Promotional Apparel category is just the latest step that we here at InkHead have taken to make our website even easier to use and more user-friendly. We hope that it helps you in finding the item you want, but if you have trouble locating one suitable for you, please don't hesitate to phone us at 877.554.0127 or use the Live Chat feature on the right-hand side of the screen. With this latest upgrade to the Imprinted Apparel category, hopefully spring cleaning won't be so bad this year!

Onofrio is back with his latest techno monster, 'Oblivious EP'. The EP comes with two tracks and is backed up with two remixes as well as the originals. Onofrio keeps very busy indeed on the studio front. 2013 saw a lot of quality original and remix works, his last offering saw a remix for Tribal Warriors on 'New York To Ibiza'. Watch this space in 2014 as we are sure to see more from this guy.
The Original Mix of 'Oblivious' intros with a killer bass drum and soft hat combo, cool percussions sit behind and ease their way into the sound. The bassline rumbles along creating hypnotic rhythms and is the perfect sound for this very minimal track. An ideal track for those darker late night techno fests!
Italian producer Giorgio Quaranta aka Gforty steps up to remix duties with his Gforty Japanese Mix on 'Oblivious'. Right from the off we are thrust into a full on techno ride. Big thumpy kicks and crispy hats get things moving as the bassline begins to surface alongside a well crafted synth line. On the break we get a few surprise note changes on the synth which makes for a really cool listening experience. Top notch stuff yet again and a must for any playlist.
Onofrio's next rack on this EP is 'Wrong Way'. His Original Mix takes the techno vibes deeper, powerful droning bass accompanies a punchy kick as ass shaking percussions begin to form. The track has a minimal groove yet has a lot going on to keep the ears trained. Excellent stuff here and no doubt will gain a lot of attention.
Gabriel Ben provides us with his remix on 'Wrong Way'. Gabriel is fresh off the back of his last SRUR release alongside Ed Whitty with their release 'Epoch'. Here the goods are firmly delivered yet again, fast paced and energetic techno is on offer as the drum section will testify. Strong and solid grooves are built with ease, cool percussive elements add texture while a deep and resonating bassline shores up the sound. At the break some real cool synths come to the party and sets this track off beautifully. Top quality stuff that will fill a lot of floors.

Amy Brown Lyman has intrigued me for many years, and I would love to be able to talk to her over lunch and discover more about her mysterious and tragic life. She died less than a month after I was born, and it seems that many of her secrets died with her.
Amy Brown Lyman (February 7, 1872 – December 5, 1959) was born in Pleasant Grove, Utah Territory, the 23rd of 25 children born to her polygamist father. She became the eighth general president of the Relief Society and served from 1940 to 1945. In the spring of 1945 she was released at her request by President Heber J. Grant, due to a number of personal tragedies in her life. She spent the next fifteen years, until her death at age 87, serving in various social services organizations, and continuing the service that so marked her early life.
Amy Lyman founded and headed the LDS Church's social welfare department for 16 years. She also served a term as a member of the Utah House of Representatives. Prior to the Second World War, Amy accompanied her husband, Richard R. Lyman, to England where he presided over the European Mission of the church.
Amy Lyman's husband Richard became an apostle of the LDS Church in 1918. In 1921, Richard began counseling a woman who had been disfellowshipped for her earlier plural marriage to a man from whom she was now separated. Lyman arranged for her restoration to full Church membership in 1922. In 1925, he apparently entered into "a mutual covenant of plural marriage" with the woman. They exchanged marriage vows secretly. Theirs, it was said, was a marriage of love; they saw themselves as soul-mates. He was 55 years old, and she was 53.
In a fascinating tale of intrigue which remains shadowy and unclear to this day, Lyman attempted to live a celestial marriage in a day when the practice had been repudiated and forbidden. Plural marriages performed between 1890 and 1906 were allowed to continue to practice polygamy until those polygamists died off. But after the Reed Smoot hearings, Church leaders were careful not to sanction polygamy. Eighteen years after contracting his marriage, when the Apostle and his plural wife were in their 70's, the First Presidency became aware of the association. There is some question that politics were involved in the decision to investigate the matter. One commenter states:
"Elder Lyman was a reliable progressive ally of David O. McKay. Two younger conservative apostles, Joseph Fielding Smith and Harold B. Lee followed Elder Lyman around for a couple of weeks and collected the data needed to make a good case against him in a court of law. Then they cooperated with then Police Chief J. Bracken Lee, a sometimes friend and sometime enemy of the Mormons, in orchestrating Lyman's arrest and the public stunt associated with it."
It is reported that Elder Lyman was arrested while in bed with this second wife. Supposedly he was dragged out of his house and off to jail wearing only his old woolly Pioneer style garments with his hair sticking in every direction. I've never seen it, but there is said to be a photograph of Lyman looking worse than Warren Jeffs in the morning papers for everyone to see. (Has anyone seen this photograph or newspaper account?)
Other notes from contemporary autobiographies indicate that on Nov 9 George Albert Smith found out about Lyman's affair, was shocked, prayed, and assigned the case to Joseph Fielding Smith and Harold B. Lee. When confronted, Lyman admitted the charges and made no defense. Richard seemed not to realize his wrong--he thought he would be reinstated in short order. Would it be possible for him to keep his office space and his secretary? Lyman was tried in the temple with 10 of the Apostles.
Richard Lyman was excommunicated on November 12, 1943 at age 73. The only official statement from the Church was a one-sentence announcement provided by the Quorum of the Twelve, stating that the ground for excommunication was violation of the Law of Chastity, which any new marriage post-second manifesto constituted.
Richard Lyman and his plural wife continued their nearly 30 year association until 2 years before Lyman was again baptized into the LDS Church, on October 27, 1954. For a time it was feared that Lyman would join the Fundamentalist movement. David O. McKay was instrumental in working with Lyman to bring him back to the Church. When Lyman was restored to fellowship, he did not come back as an Apostle. He served as a deacon. He humbly passed the sacrament in this capacity. His Melchizedek priesthood privileges were never restored. Lyman died in 1963 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Official Church channels might wish that we members remain circumspect and refrain from speculation about this unfortunate incident in the lives of these public figures. But Church history just happens to fascinate me. I'm especially curious when the lives of these historical figures coincide with matters of controversial Church doctrine and practice. How much, for example, did Richard Lyman's affair have to do with his belief in the principle of Celestial marriage? Richard was known as an outgoing, exhuberant man. He had a strong preoccupation with sex, and talked about it over the pulpit and in public. Some said he was embarrassing. Members who heard him speak in a student ward called him "inappropriate." He had a flirtatious manner and was faced with temptations while in the East that led President Grant to consider recalling him as Mission President. Was he only a weak man, or did he really have a higher motivation? Did he believe, as many Fundamentalists, that plural marriage was necessary for exaltation? Was Lyman's plural marriage unofficially sanctioned by the Church? There are rumors that some of the members of the Twelve continued to perform plural marriages even after the Reed Smoot trials in 1904-06. Is there any basis behind the claims that President Heber J. Grant performed the sealing of Lyman and his plural wife in the Logan Temple in 1925?
If I were friends with Amy, I'd certainly be nosy and want to know many things about how she felt about her husband's behavior. Some accounts present Richard as an unhappily married man whose first wife failed to provide for his needs. They suggest that Amy was a strong-willed, forceful, serious, reserved woman, whose duties kept her absent from the home. But I suspect there was more to it than that. What were the tensions that kept the two apart? And what kept them together following the excommunication and Richard's continuing association with his second wife? In Amy's autobiography she mentions Richard only twice--once as "my husband," and once as "Dr. Lyman."
There are so many questions surrounding this tragedy that I am curious about. I have not been able to find out the name of Lyman's paramour or any further information. Was the second wife excommunicated along with Lyman when they were discovered in bed together? Why didn't Amy seek a divorce following the excommunication? Family members have claimed that Amy Lyman was aware of the marriage and that the two families had Sunday dinner together once a month. What were Amy's sentiments concerning plural marriage? Under what circumstances did Lyman and his second wife finally separate in 1952? Why do we have so little information about the circumstances of the Lyman excommunication?
Amy Lyman seems to have been an woman who valued her privacy and was traumatized by the events that occurred in her family life. I'm sure she would be less than forthcoming with anyone who dared to probe into these circumstances in her life. But she was a fascinating woman with a tragic story. For many reasons, I'd love to have lunch with Amy Brown Lyman.

CNN.com is teaming up with Microsoft to produce the first "synth" of a major historical moment at NoonET on Inauguration Day. Synth?
Using Micrsoft's Photosynth technology, CNN.com is asking people around the Inauguration in D.C. on Tuesday to send in pictures of "The Moment" as Barack Obama is being sworn in. Then, the iReport's will be fused together to provide a detailed 3-D environment of the event, using all the pictures and video sent in from those in attendance.
Still confused? Click continued to see the release…
CNN Worldwide plans to create the most unique view of the exact moment U.S. President-elect Barack Obama takes the oath of office on Tuesday, Jan. 20, at noon (ET). Using Microsoft Photosynth technology, CNN and Microsoft Corp. will produce the first "synth" of a major historical moment.
Photosynth, part of the Microsoft Virtual Earth product family, enables users to create synths, detailed 3-D environments of photos that are identified by minute similarities and then fused together. In this case, the initial images comprise those captured on cell phones, cameras and mobile devices by inauguration attendees of the moment Obama is sworn in as president. From the vast sweep of the crowd to a close-up on the new president's raised hand, every angle of this historic moment will be frozen in time. To see examples of synths, visit http://photosynth.com.
CNN is inviting people witnessing "The Moment" to take part in a special iReport assignment by e-mailing their pictures to firstname.lastname@example.com. The photos will post immediately to iReport.com, CNN's user-generated news community, and shortly after the oath of office, viewers and users can see the resulting synths on-air and online. In staying with CNN's long tradition of using technology to reinvent political coverage, the network will feature the synths on the Magic Wall. The use of Photosynth within the multi-touch environment will be made possible by the strong relationship among CNN, Perceptive Pixel and Microsoft.
Visitors to CNN.com will also be able to explore the images captured in this transformative moment on either their PC or Mac. Photosynth will allow CNN.com visitors to glide around the Capitol, thus virtually experiencing the occasion from every angle. For more details on sending in photos and to view the synths on Inauguration Day, visit www.CNN.com/themoment.
"We're pleased to partner with CNN to bring this historic event to life through the eyes of those attending the inauguration," said Yusuf Mehdi, senior vice president, Microsoft. "Microsoft Photosynth technology enables an immersive experience for CNN to share with all of its viewers."
"As the nation watches this momentous moment on Tuesday, CNN, through this partnership with Microsoft, will again make television history," said David Bohrman, CNN's senior vice president and D.C. bureau chief. "From the YouTube debates to the Magic Wall, CNN has proven itself as the network which embraces technological tools to engage viewers and allow them to witness news events in ways never before imagined."
On Jan. 20, CNN's The Inauguration of Barack Obama begins at 5 a.m. (ET) and continues into Wednesday, Jan. 21, with continuous live coverage of the day's events, including the swearing-in ceremony, parade and official inaugural balls. Throughout the special programming, viewers can expect to see the synths their pictures helped create.

I grew up in a big family in a small council house in Middle Terrace, Grahamstown. I have many happy memories. And many not-so-happy ones.
There were tough days, but somehow my aunts and grandparents looking after the extended family, crowded under one roof, always managed.
Poverty is the real mother of invention. I learnt, for example, that a tea bag could be used several times over. And this before recycling became a fad!
There is no need, of course, to romanticise poverty and inequality. We must characterise our undignified South African realities for what they were, and still are, if we are to dream and effect new realities.
But it is also true, as the often-misunderstood Jacob Dlamini captured in Native Nostalgia, that we live(d) in our townships. Some of us even actualised our potential.
Which brings me to one such set of happy recollections from my own childhood scenes growing up in Middle Terrace, Grahamstown. I spent many hours in the community library lost in books. I was lucky. The library was next to our house and so I only needed to jump the fence and I was a minute away from magical worlds that looked and felt and smelt very different to my own life.
I fell in love with Enid Blyton, like many millions of kids the world over.
I'm pretty sure I read every single book in The Famous Five and The Secret Seven series. And I will never forget my friends in The Magic Faraway Tree. How I miss Silky, Moonface and Saucepan Man!
When I was up The Magic Faraway Tree I was a happy child. It didn't matter that there might have been no bread in the bread bin when I got home from school. I could always imagine eating the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with my favourite characters. (Mind you, the thought was disgusting for years! Only as an adult did an American friend rescue me from ignorance – jelly for them turned out to be what we call jam, not only desert!)
Also, when I was in the library I could not be smacked by mom who was frustrated at dad's disappearance. I wasn't a witness to violence between neighbours. I was in a happy place. I was in a safe place. Books gave me joy. The world of books, quite frankly, helped me escape the harsh reality of a childhood located in our familiar landscape of violence, poverty and inequality. Thank you Blyton, Dixon, Peck, Kellerman, Orwell, Nagel, Okri, Brooks and other literary giants.
I really was lucky. Some of my peers – and siblings and cousins – responded to our tough upbringing by dropping out of school or falling pregnant as teens. I can't blame them. How can I? I know the utter hopelessness of our community that provided conditions ripe for antisocial behaviour.
I had no guidance at home, and so my reading list was very bizarre and random: in between so-called children's book I was reading Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Virginia Andrews's Flowers In The Attic (please don't laugh at me, dear reader!) and even that pseudo-profound classic The Road Less Traveled by M Scott Peck. And that is fine. We must read anything and everything in our sight. Even Fifty Shades of Grey. We must become a reading nation.
Perhaps the most important book for me, as a teen, was What Does It All Mean? by philosopher Thomas Nagel. This book was given to me early in high school by my gifted history teacher, Mr Grant. I have little doubt that this early introduction to analytic philosophy explains my lifelong love affair with the discipline. I took it home and read it in my grandad's old Ford. It introduced me to academic philosophy. Now I'm an annoying philosophy student and part-time lecturer for life. That's what books do. They help you find your true self.
Here is the ultimate moral of my book nostalgia, though. If we want to break down barriers between ourselves across race, linguistic and cultural lines, we must promote reading. Fiction forces you to live in other people's worlds. It develops our empathetic capacities. Sure, reading isn't a substitute for dismantling apartheid geography and is no substitute for living in each other's spaces. But it can and does help to build bridges. Reading will help us to humanise each other. In a time of violence, we must spread the word about the power of books to make South African life a little easier.
These benefits require well-stocked libraries in every school and community, managed by librarians who are valued and paid due compensation for their vital role.
Why are we marching against e-tolls but not for libraries? Why?

McDowell met Glenn Miller during WWII
A local World War Two veteran shared how a chance encounter 69 years ago nearly changed his life.
Sunday's special ceremony by the Indy Honor Flight Program, which flies World War Two vets to Washington to see the memorial they made possible.
Jimmy McDowell is very comfortable in front of a crowd. Especially this crowd. Any one of these veterans at the WWII Memorial Sunday could have heard him sing 70 years ago. That is where Glenn Miller first saw him - August 14th, 1944.
He showed us some of the pictures from that day.
"There's Glenn Miller and the singers," Jimmy recalls, pointing to legendary big band leader. "Notice how the guys sat on the planes and we were in there someplace."
McDowell says it was a day he would never forget. But it really only set the stage for what was to come, when Miller would be in the crowd listening to McDowell's band playing at the officers club later that night.
"Yes, and the latrine is right behind us when the picture was taken," Jimmy points out. "So that's my favorite picture of all the war. Standing there talking to Major Glenn Miller."
Miller asked McDowell what he was going to do after the war. McDowell said he wanted to be a singer.
"So he said after the war I am going to go back to California and put our big band back together and add strings to it and I got a lot of ideas, so I said 'okay,'" recounts McDowell. "He said if you get to California, look me up and I will help you out. Isn't that something? Then he disappeared in December of 1944."
McDowell would come back to Indiana and start his eventual Hall of Fame Broadcasting career that included BandStand 13 on Channel 13. And now, he is preparing to go back to Washington this September to see the WWII Memorial for the first time, thanks to the Indy Honor Flight.
"To my knowledge all the people in the 231st Hospital area are dead except me. So I have a lot of thoughts I will take with me," he says.
But he will go without regret. At age 91 he is comfortable with his life, "There is nobody to call anymore. That's life. It's a shame, but that's life."
Suggested Links
And he's still comfortable on a stage.
If you don't recognize the name Jimmy McDowel,l you may remember him as Jimmy Mac.
His Honor Flight is scheduled for September 7th.

Andover Lions have been hit with an injury crisis with just 48 hours before their Andover League Open Cup semi-final with rivals Andover Town.
Team captain John Robb is struggling with a foot injury after being caught by a horror tackle in the New Inn match last week and Dean Smith is rated as unlikely with an ankle injury, Brad Craney, could be out with a shoulder injury again picked up against New Inn and Ryan Steele is still suffering with a dead leg that has kept him out of the last two games. Leading scorer Dan Reynolds is currently working in Geneva and it is not clear whether he will be returning in time to face Andover Town and with Matt Scott joining neighbours Whitchurch United before kicking a ball for the Lions and Reece Rusher moving to Winchester City the' team is now likely to look very different to team what manager Ray Cozze would have liked to have picked.
Meanwhile the persistent rain has out the derby game on Tuesday in some doubt as the pitch at the Portway was saturated this morning meaning Sparsholt College's National U18 Torphy semi-final this afternoon was hastily rearranged for the 3G pitch at Southampton University, Wide Lane Eastleigh.
The town of Andover will be represented in the final at the Ricoh Arena Coventry on Friday March 14 as they easily got past Stanmore College 4-1. Report here later.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Strawberry season technically begins in December, but the height of this luscious period is now upon us. February, March and April boast perhaps the largest and sweetest examples of these all-American beauties. Although us Northerners have fond memories of picking our own strawberries as a child (red stains dotting our T-shirts and the corners of our mouths), some insatiably sweet varieties are readily available outside of "pick your own" farms -- though the farmers' varieties typically outweigh the plastic-clad strawberries found at the local grocery store.
Here in Sarasota, Sweet Charlie's are readily found without having get your hands dirty. Overholt's Produce on Bahia Vista, (pen from December to Easter) is one of my favorite bi- weekly stops for juicy sweet berries.
Color is the essence of a great berry. You'll want to look for darker berries, with the deeper color indicating a sweeter (and most likely locally grown) berry. Make sure that you refrigerate the fruit right away -- but honestly, fresh strawberries are best when consumed within 24 hours of picking.
If you must save them for later, you'll want to store your berries on a dry paper towel in the refrigerator overnight, unwashed. Remove stem when you are ready to slice. When you're ready to eat the berry, simply gently wash with cool water and remove the cap after the berry has been drained. If you plan on freezing fresh strawberries, the same rules apply. Place them into a plastic bag and freeze unwashed with the green caps in place.
Strawberries Romanoff
An all time favorite 1960's classic, I prefer to serve mine with a sliced shortcake biscuit to the side or scone to ensure every drop.
2 pints strawberries, washed and stemmed
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau
1 pint vanilla ice cream (I prefer Haigen Daiz for the rich fat content)
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tablespoons zest of orange
6-8 whole berries
buttermilk shortcake biscuits
1. Slice the strawberries. In a large bowl, toss three-quarters of them with the sugar and orange liqueur. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to macerate.
2. Put the ice cream in the refrigerator to soften.
3. Put the cream and half the macerated strawberries in a cold mixing bowl. With an electric mixer, whip to soft peaks, about 12 minutes. Fold in the ice cream.
4. Distribute the cream among 6 tall martini glasses. Mix the plain sliced berries with the remaining macerated berries and place on top of the cream. Garnish with a whole berry- stem on and zest of orange
Makes 6 to 8 servings.

GZYL.If you read some news.IN the last year alone over 15 new Tu160 wher put into servise and allmost all Tu 160 are bieng upgraided!!!
Afcours Tu 160 win over B 1.
Anyone tell me in whot way B1 is better than Tu 160 except electronics!!!
If these two types had a "fly-off" which would win? I know the Tu-160 is in a bad state at the moment because of a lack of funding but at it's peak, I reckon the Tu-160 would win.

B1 would have been equal or better if the Reagan govt hadn't cut the B1-A programme. The b version is a pity, compared to the A
I sort of like the blackjack, don't you?
The Ukrainians finished scrapping their remaining Blackjacks at Priluki airbase, after a number (i believe 8, not 16 Rusnik) were resold to Russia.
The horror, the horror x(x(x(
Now i know that i've seen all existing Blackjacks by 1997 (the almost-finished airframes at the Kazan factory are now appearantly finished and delivered to the Russian AF at Engels AB) and two Ukrainian examples will stay preserved, but this is no way for an aircraft to end!
When will i be happy again? What scrapping-pic will i post tomorrow? What's the meaning of life?
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell
The B-1B is superior to the Tu-160 in many ways. First of all, it has over twice the warload. The B-1B can carry up to 75,000 lb. in three weapons bays. The Tu-160 is designated a heavy bomber and it has a max warload of 36,000 lb. That is quite pathetic if you ask me. The B-1B also has much better electronics and it is being continually upgraded. If you want a list of its weapons I will give it to you, and you will see what power the B-1 can carry in its bays. Another winning factor for the B-1 is its low RCS, which is about 1/10th or maybe 1/100th that of the B-52. It also has great range and good handling. I have heard it handles almost like a fighter. Don't get me wrong, I like the Tu-160, but it is in reality an inferior aircraft. The B-1 also looks a little better in my opinion.
I really wonder which would win. The B1B handles well and is pretty fast down low. It has 3 bomb bays and can carry quite a bit of ordinance. As far as electronics, the ALQ161 has shortcomings, but is going to be assisted by the ALE50 towed decoy, which saved the skin of B1 crews over Kosovo. I doubt the TU160 has better ECM and a comparable RCS.
Both of these planes are good missile platforms, but neither is really state of the art anymore, and the TU160 is of dubious quality. can we include the B2 in the competition?
The warload you mentioned of 75000lb is pure thearaticly.
I have a little book about the B-1 and they mention the warlad of 75000lb to BUT this is as I said before pure theoraticly.
Normally the max warload would be in the 35000lb class like the Tu-160.
But the TU-160 has a smaller RCS than the B-1b It has more speed more range (but this is not so important cause they hav IFR capability) the B-1b has better avionics and lets be honoust much better pilots to. The Tu-160 has problems cause they lack funding, but you forget the b-1b is not accident free it has also a few problems(read that somwhere).
In my opinion the TU-160 is a little better( if they can be maintained properly.)
On paper, the Tu-160 is the better aircraft.
In practice, the B-1B is far better.
That's cause the russians have no money to upgrade or maintain them.

So you don t read any News!!!
Well if you have read the latest news on russian airforce.
Russia upgraded olmost all Tu160.And ther is over 20 standing on producyton line.And 11 new wher build last year!!
P.S. nice pick of the fotose!!!
But if you know Ukrain gave all it s tu160 back to russia plus 10000 sam s missals FOR GAS!!!
These pics are not nice men.
If you like those pics you don't like airplanes, They are destroyng a plane and you think thats nice. x(
Scorpion, I really have a hard time believing the TU160 has a lower RCS compared to the B1B. It makes no sense. Of course, I have no hard data to support my claim, but the TU160 has a few things going against it: size, slab surfaces, lack of blending of different surfaces, huge tail etc.
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-Feb-01 AT 06:52 PM (GMT)[/font][p]I've read somewhere that the Tu 160 engines blades were designed to be stealthy but whith regard to the low russian maintenance / building capabilities I don't think the stealthiness is that great.
Just remember this Blackjack that lost part of its dorsal spin during some airshow. It continued to fly but it illustrates the poor quality of the Blackjack airframes.
B1B was designed to be more stealthy than B1A and what it lose in flight capacity (speed , thrust) is gained in efficacity against air defense networks.
Yes the pichurs are terreble i know.
You have been reading some dodgy news articles!
There are not 20 on production line or 11 new build aircraft
Source: MNA, May 5, 2000
"The new TU-160 Blackjack built at the Kazan aviation factory has landed at the Engles airfield, the Military News Agency learned on Friday. (Incorrect spelling of the airbase)
This is the first strategic bomber received by the Air Force from the defence industry in the past 15 years. Six of the bombers currently stationed at Engles were received after the collapse of the USSR. Another eight were transferred from Ukraine as repayment for gas-debts in November 1999 - January 2000.
Lieutenant-General Mikhail Oparin, commander of the long-range aviation, who attended the ceremony, said that the TU-160 Blackjacks had the lowest malfunctioning level in the Air Force, that is 7 percent /the average is 15 percent/. All of the strategic bombers were manned with highly professional
crews, he added.
According to Oparin, the Blackjacks will form a strategic long-range aviation regiment which will become part of the 37th Air Force army.
The new TU-160 has received the honorary name of Alexander Molodchy, a well-known WWII pilot who was one of the first to bomb Berlin. Hero of the USSR Alexander Molodchy now resides in the town of Chernigov, Ukraine."
Well said Min.
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-Feb-01 AT 02:59 AM (GMT)[/font][p]I don't know where you get your info on the Tu 160, phantom, but it ain't accurate. The "max warload" of the Tu 160 is closer to 86,000lbs, not 36,000. Hardly pathetic.
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-Feb-01 AT 03:36 AM (GMT)[/font][p]A few facts:
"While being 27% heavier than the B-1B, the Tu-160 has 80% more thrust."
"The Tu-160 has relatively low aerodynamic drag, as well as radar cross section, both believed to be much smaller than those of the B-1B."
(This is mostly due to the external carriage of weapons on the B-1B... all weapons are internal on Tu-160).
Tu-160 is limited to about 30,000kgs (about 66,000lbs), though its theoretical limit is given as 40,000kg (about 88,000lbs)(with conventional freefall weapons which they are not currently fitted for). This is a size constraint with the weapon bays. As noted above with 80% more thrust it could certainly carry more weapons but not without modification. (Carpet bombing is a job B-1Bs might be capable of (say to replace elderly B-52s) but the Russians use the cheaper but still effective Tu-22M3 for that.ie in Afghanistan)
I personally would choose the Tu-160 (But I'm biased) especially when the Kh-101 comes into service.
(My source for this info is Air International May 2000, "Blackjack Profile" by Piotr Butowski.)
The B1B carries most of its ordinance externally?? According to whom, Mr. Butowski? Thats ludicrous. The B1B has three good sized internal rotary launchers. I've seen them in person. It is possible that some weapons are not cleared for the bays of the B1 or are not compatible with the rotary launchers, but its unlikely that the Air Force simply hangs weapons externally on a bomber with more than adequate internal storage.
Yes, let's get this straight, the B-1B's theoretical is 110,000 lbf+...however, let's be reasonable and i agree a typical mission will probably see ~30-50,000 lbf of payload (can include more fuel). No B-1Bs in operation ever uses external stores, in fact i believe most of them are not even fitted with hardpoints, except the prototype modified from B-1A. Tu-160's vertical fin is all moving...RCS? (unless it's composite fin). The range of the B-1B however is very questionable....about this payload thing, I believe the Tu-160 can "hang" way more than 36,000lbf, but it doesn't mean if you can hang it, you can drop it. Let's put this into perspective, the theoretical load of the F-111A is 40,000lbf+!...i don't think it'll fly very far with that, although it was demonstrated....so, extrapolate this to both the B-1B and the Tu-160...you get the point. The most important thing to me is how capable is the avionics of the Tu-160? Also, drag is a function of size, not how "aerodynamic" it is...drag coefficient IS a function of how "aerodynamic" it is. I would agree with the Tu-160 being lower in Cd, but don't factor in the more thurst the Tu-160 has...b/c it has more drag and also b/c it needs to go mach2+. I don't think the Tu-160 can hang low like the B-1B...the crew will get really really sick.
Country::US of A
I agree with your point about internal carriage on the B-1B. I even believe that the B-1B cannot carry any weapons externally anymore, the hardpoints were welded over because of START.
Garry, you seem to be mighty confused here. As far as I know, the B-1B CANNOT carry weapons externally.
Originally, it was able to. If I remember what I saw on a schema, it could take either a multple bomb ejector, or some 3 or 4 cruise missiles under each wing stub.
Confirmed. The B-1 carrys no external stores.
I agree, but it was DESIGNED to. Due to a nuclear treaty, the hardpoints were unmounted, I think I have the drawings at home. If you are a good boy (and if I find them) :-) , I'll scan it this week-end, and send them to you newt week. (Sorry, but a firewall forbids me to upload somthing to this forum)
Best regards,
If you read my post all the way to the end you will see that I credit the information to an author other than myself.
Drag has as much to do with shape as size. Or is a 275 ton square block of concrete just as low drag as a Tu-160?
I'll take your word on the hardpoints being removed (Which held 14 missiles externally according to the article).
The article also made the point that despite being capable of Mach 1.2 at optimum conditions, the B-1B was a subsonic bird. The Tu-160 however can be used up to 2000km from base in a high low high flight profile at 2000km/h (at high level) and just supersonic at low level. The difference in practical warload is marginal and the higher structure weight of the Tu-160 will probably mean a longer airframe life. I think any defence capable of shooting down a Tu-160 would also be capable of doing the same to a B-1B, so as I said the choice between them is really just a personal one. (And I'm sticking with the Tu-160)
The B-1B's external hardpoints were removed under the START treaty. One of my fun extra jobs here at McConnell AFB is to escort the Russian inspection team when they decide to grace us with their presence. The bulkheads of the B-1B's forward weapon bay is locked in the middle position (i.e., it could fit 2 rotary AGM-69-type launchers, but not the single longer AGM-86B launcher). And the external hardpoints have been welded over. There were only two aircraft ever to even have the hardpoints fitted during tests, and they were at Edwards and had extra blade antennas on their spines for satellite verification of being cruise-missile carriers.
As for the Tu-160 vs B-1B debate, you can no longer really compare them. The B-1B is a low level penetrator; the BLACKJACK is a standoff cruise-missile platform. The BLACKJACK is more equivalent to the B-1A (I think someone pointed that out). If I had to choose, I'd rather have the Tu-160. People will complain about the inferiority of Russian equipment and so forth, but the aircraft is extremely capable in its own right. As the B-1B is being adapted to carry JDAM's and other PGM's, the Tu-160 is being adapted to actually employ free-fall bombs. Contrary to popular belief, Russian Tu-160's have only ever operated as strategic missile platforms. The BLACKJACK has much larger internal capacity in its weapon bays than the B-1, so it should be an effective bomber as well.
As far as the whole "Tu-160 has smaller RCS" issue, the B-1B has its fair share of slab surfaces as well (horiz/vert tails), and neither aircraft will be confused with a stealth platform with its weapon bay doors open. The Russian claim was that the Tu-160 is a much more aerodynamically refined and 'cleaner' design, and I tend to agree with them due to the fact that the design wasn't hindered by low observables. The Russians learned a lot as far as large supersonic aircraft go with the Tu-144 project (has anyone seen a picture of Tupolev's original Tu-160 design? Think CHARGER with a red star instead of Aeroflot markings). However, I am neither an aeronautical engineer nor a fluid mechanics physicist, so I'm sure the Russian claims will be gunned down by the Western Mafia as soon as I post them }>
Incidentially, the Tu-160's that everyone keeps talking about being in "disrepair" (see picture further up on this thread)? Those are the original flight test articles at Zhukovskiy, which have undergone substantial modifications during their careers. The operational aircraft at Engels are in much, much better shape. And they're painted.

Forgive them, oh SOC, for they do not know the road to Engels AB. The Tu-160s there look terribly kitsch, by the way: overall white with a Russian flag finflash. Still, and all have gotten nicknames now (Ilya Murometz was the first one, coded 05r - i don't know the other ones). I completely agree on the general appearance of them though: they look as good as any Russian aircraft i've ever seen. Well, in 1996 that is.
Oh, and SOC: do you have anything on the status of the 63 Tu-22 in storage at Engels? From what i know, they should be regarded as mothballed but i have my doubts if this is still true.

Thanks garryb thats where i read that the rcs of the tu-160 is smaller then that of the b-1b.

Fresh, Good Quality Dry-Roasted Edamame
May 10, 2014
These beans seem like very good quality and the lowest price I found. They were delivered quickly and in good condition. Be aware, however that they are not organic and there are no representations as to whether they contain GMO. Seems likely that they do, however since allegedly 90% of the soy grown in the US is GMO. I was a bit surprised to see that my 10# arrived all in one large plastic bag as opposed to a "case."
Pros:Fresh, good quality, lowest price
Cons:Probably contains GMO, not organic, arrived in one large plastic bag

The architecture of the Karoo Wilderness Center is a result of a thorough process of investigation into the origins and character of the Karoo landscape and the flora and fauna that result from its particular qualities. The tectonic events that produced the specific topography of the site, trajectories of water runoff, wind movement, soil composition, and effects of plant and animal species on the landscape have converged to create the conditions of the site chosen for the Center. Each of these factors have in turn been subject to the impact of human inhabitation and vernacular building practices, amplified in recent generations to a harmful degree by shortsighted agricultural strategies and their associated effects of overgrazing, water over-manipulation and erosion.
Fundamental to the architectural response is the premise that the human species is an inherent part of the conditions that comprise and affect the landscape. The significance of the Center, enhanced and informed by the activities that occur within and as an extension of it, lies in the co-dependence of the Center and the ecosystem as inherently bound entities. The architecture of the Center is intended to make evident the natural processes of the Karoo and establish a new precedent for building within and through an ecosystem defined by dynamic flux.
