Its a rustic log cabin, totally handcrafted. Just below is the Chowan River and at the mouth of the Albermarle Sound. It is full of White Perch and you can go crabbing. Fire pit outside for roasting marshmellows.
My name is Doug Liverman. I live in Ahoskie NC. Ahoskie is about 25 minutes away from the cabin. The cabin was built basically to have more room when we (Kim and I ) would have all the family down for holiday weekends. It started out as just a square box shape and turned into what it is today. It is about 800 square feet sitting on a hillside just off the Chowan River in Bertie County N.C. It is pattern after a one hundred year old cabin that Kim, my girlfriend, found in a Sportsman magazine at a dentist office. Kim got me phone numbers and I called until I found the people who own the original one which is over a hunderd years old and much more rustic. We added a kitchen and a few other features to ours to make it what it is. A nice little cozy cabin on a hillside where it fits perfect over looking a pond in a quiet little area on the river. You can walk from the cabin to the pier on the river and never touch the ground.It is great for exercise if you are looking for that. As for myself I own a small business in Ahoskie and Kim is a nurse at the local hospital.There is a larger log home on the property which I try to spend as much time in as I possibly can. If you come and visit you will understand why.
Douglas Liverman and Kimberly Cox purchased this cabin in 2011
Mainly for the view. When I was sixteen my buddy and I would go down to this place and hang out, at that time it belonged to his grandparents. I would watch him and a friend of ours jump off a cliff that used to be in front of the main house. The crazy things we will do when we are young . I never knew that someday I would actually have a house on the same lot. The view is beautiful and breathtaking especially on a moon lite night or an early morning sunrise.
The view and location is great and it is very quaint and peaceful. If you are looking for a quiet week or weekend it's worth the trip. You can see deer running around, you can feed the ducks in the nearby pond, watch the rabbits run by, or maybe if you are lucky you may see a bald eagle fly. There are nice restaurants in the area that you can visit by land or river. Just one problem if you go by river you will need a boat, so if you have one you might want to bring it unless you luck up and Kim and I are around and hungry. There is some shopping a few miles away, a movie theater, and some historical viewing if you like things like that. It is small town shopping no W-marts. The nearest one is about 25 minutes away.The cabin does have a deck on the back with a fire pit, gas grill, and a screened in porch. There is a front porch with old timer rockers and a small table for early morning coffee. It has a microwave, also a coffee maker for the coffee lovers.The bathroom has a walk in shower but no tub, in the kitchen there is an oven,stove, and fridge.There is an outside hot tub at the big house that might be available.Jets skies and fishing boats are not available but there will be a paddle boat,small john boat with trolling motor for someone who may want to fish. Canoe or kayak and fishing reels will be available for daily rental. If there is a special occasion please let us know we will be more than willing to help.

Hey, guys. It's Meredith Gray, Beauty Editor at Seventeen, and we're backstage at the Rebecca Minkoff show talking to the lead makeup artist, Jose Rivera, who's gonna show you how to get these looks at home.
So, the look we're doing today is very much inspired by the 1990's things. Brooke Shields, big, full, luscious brows, accentuating natural beauty. It's about looking like yourself, but just a little bit bitter. Going for classic shades like taupe, brown, peaches, just to enhance your eyes. And for Spring, we're using a fuller brow in general. It's good to have a very sharp pencil, and then you wanna invert your pencil and literally just draw like little strokes like this. And the reason you wanna do that is so you want to emulate how hair grows. To keep it natural, we're just drawing little sketch marks. So that essentially, it looks just like your brow. And powder is like another option for someone who may have more sparse brows or a little bit left hair. And it's really about taking whatever shape you have and then enhancing it. A really neutral lip, think Twiggy, a little bit of pressed powder on the lip, matting it out, not a lot of shine. Really matte everywhere. So, picture perfect at any moment. Everybody is looking for wearable clothes and wearable looks.

This lesson will cover several class periods.
Folger edition of Much Ado About Nothing Available in Folger print edition and Folger Digital Texts
Handouts on "Historical Background of Marriage" and "Marriage and Courtship in the Renaissance" (below); optional props for the trial (a judge's gown, a gavel, witness stand)
1. The Background
Pass out Handout # 1, "Historical Background of Marriage Customs," which contains passages from documents concerning marriage customs and the laws governing marriage in Shakespeare's time. Split the students into small groups of four or five, and assign each group one or two passages to read and discuss. Then have each group share its findings with the class.
2. The Great Debate
Introduce Much Ado About Nothing 4.1 by assigning roles and having the students read aloud. Lead the class in a debate about Hero's situation. Was she a fit bride? Was Claudio wrong to accuse her? How about Hero's father? Why did he react the way he did? Why did Beatrice get so upset? What was the role of the Friar? Was hiding Hero a good solution to the problem?
3. The Trial of Claudio
Stage a mock trial. Assign all the roles: the prosecutor, Hero (or her father); the prosecuting attorney; the defendant, Claudio; the defense attorney; a judge; a jury; and witnesses. Give the students time to prepare for their roles. The only information they may use is the script of the play and the marriage customs handout.
Begin the trial. The judge announces the case and the prosecution begins its arguments with an opening statement. The defense also gives an opening statement. The prosecution then calls witnesses. The defense gets to cross-examine the witnesses. Then the defense calls its witnesses, and the prosecution cross-examines. The prosecution gives a closing argument, and the defense gives a closing argument. Then the judge gives instructions to the members of the jury, and dismisses them to consider their verdict. The jury deliberates, then returns and gives the verdict. If it is "not guilty," the case is dismissed; if it is "guilty," they give a recommendation for sentencing. The jury needs to defend its verdict, telling the judge how it came to a decision. The judge pronounces the verdict, and the case is over.
(If you don't have enough students to have a jury, an alternative could be to have the class vote on the verdict. In this case, have each student write a paragraph explaining his or her decision.)
4. Reflections on Consequences
Pass out Handout #2, "Courtship and Marriage in the Renaissance." Have the students complete the handout with relevant quotations from the play and statements that reflect their understanding of these issues in modern times. Assign the students to write a short paper about their reactions to the false accusations about Hero and Claudio's decision to publicly disgrace her. Have the students use the handout they have completed to support their opinions with quotations from the historical documents and the play. This paper could be started in class and/or completed as a homework assignment.

ColdFusion related blogging is going to be slow for the next three weeks while I head to the Philippines for a non ColdFusion project I'm working on (although ColdFusion will ultimately interface with it). I'm working on a very exciting project centered around quite a bit of "new" technology. I'll probably be discussing some of the details as the project moves forward and I'm allowed to say more.
This is my second trip to the Philippines in the past 5 months, something I'm starting to get used to. If you want to keep up with what I'm up to, you may have better luck over on my food blog, Foo(d) Bar. I'm more likely to be logging updates there as I eat my way through the local Filipino dining scene.
If you're a ColdFusion developer and happen to be in the Makati area sometime between now and March 2nd, drop me a line!

A coworker of mine, Jim Bambrough just had his second article published on the Adobe DevNet website. The new article, Using the ColdFusion Report Builder – Part 2: Creating Charts in Reports is a follow on to his earlier article Using the ColdFusion Report Builder—Part 1: Creating Reports and Subreports which I previously blogged about.
Jim's a talented developer and very knowledgable on the subject of reporting. His articles are a good read for anyone building reports using the ColdFusion Report Builder.

We've had several people ask about the criteria for what gets published and what doesn't over at the ColdFusion Cookbook project. The main point people have been asking about revolves around when should users look in the docs vs. google vs. the cookbook site, etc.
One email we received this morning had a lot of positive feedback on the site, but also went on to say that the sender felt that some of the entries were for things that were too basic, such as how to use the now() function, and that developers would do better to look these types of problems up in the docs or via other means.
I'd like to share the response I sent back, as I think it does a good job of explaining what the site is about, and the approach that's being taken.
"I think the difference here is in the approach. The CF Docs do exactly as you describe - how to use the now() function. The approach we're taking with the cookbook isn't how to use the various functions, but rather how to solve specific problems - which is exactly your point. In this case, it's how do I get the current date/time. While it's true the answer is simple, you wouldn't believe how many times I used to answer that question back on the old Allaire forums.Just about everything in the cookbook so far can be found by searching the docs, adobe forums, or by using google. The real value here is that the cookbook is a central clearing house for this type of information that has the opportunity to synthesize answers to the questions that developers ask, whether they are absolute beginners, or gurus. I'd much rather come search the cookbook site First for a solution to a specific problem than go to these other sites knowing that the quality of information on the cookbook site and the resulting discussion probably provides a better answer than a relatively static documentation set can."
I'd be interested in what others think as we want to make this the best community resource for ColdFusion developers to find information on specific problems (easy and hard) as well as act as a forum to discuss approaches to those problems.

By now, you've probably heard that Adobe released a public beta of the upcoming Flex 2 platform. What you may not know, however, is that there's also an update to ColdFusion MX 7 (Mystic) in beta as well.
This new version contains enhancements designed to support advanced Flex integration from within ColdFusion. Enhancements include an update to Flash remoting to support ActionScript 3 as well as an event gateway for communication with thenew Flex messaging service.
Adobe states that "ColdFusion simply provides the easiest way to create a publish/subscribe messaging system with Flex." I haven't had a chance to play with the Mystic/Flex 2.0 combo yet, but I'm really looking forward to the possibilities.

There's a new ColdFusion resource in town. Today marked the official launch of cfPetMarket, a site based on the CF Petmarket reference application. The site's purpose is to showcase various methodologies and frameworks for building ColdFusion applications, and it does an excellent job to be sure.
What's really cool about the site is that it's already populated with versions of the reference application built in most of the major ColdFusion frameworks/methodologies. This is useful as both a comparison and a learning tool.
The site was developed by Simon Horwith and launched in conjunction with a special focus edition of the ColdFusion Developers Journal focused on frameworks and methodologies.

I use the ColdFusion scheduling service quite a bit. For one of our applications, we have over 500 scheduled tasks that execute daily, controlling the generation and distribution of reports.

It's been a while since the release of ColdFusion MX 7.x and that got me wondering how many people out there are taking advantage of the new Event Gateway featueres and more specificly, what sorts of things people are using the gateways for.
I've seen a few public examples such as Ben Forta's IM Bot and Sean Corfield's IRC Bot and JMS Gateway, but I'm wondering what other types of gateways people have built and what they're using them for. There really hasn't been as much buzz out in the blogosphere or on the ColdFusion related mailing lists as I'd expected and I'm wondering why.
So, if you're doing something interesting with Event Gateways in ColdFusion MX 7.x, drop me a comment an let me know.

Speeding biker crashes into black bear on British Columbia highway
After watching a motorcycle rider battle it out with an aggressive ram on a mountain pass and the recent story of a biker being chased by angry Grey wolf, it seems the animal kingdom has developed a strong taste towards dueling with motorcycle riders everywhere.
This video captures a sudden crash between a speeding biker and a young black bear who dangerously cross paths along an empty stretch of highway in British Columbia. We'd strongly suggest jumping back on the bike and getting the heck outta there, as you don't want to face the wrath of an upset mama or papa bear after running over their baby cub
According to police, the man (who has not been identified), suffered a concussion and several broken bones as his motorcycle went skidding down the road. The video footage of the accident captured on the rider's helmet cam has been posted online by the RCMP in an effort to warn distracted drivers.
"You can see that he is focusing on the speedometer when the bear is already into the roadway so he's distracted by filming. When he finally looks up to see the bear at 140 km/h, there's not a lot of time to (react)... He's going from zero to 140 km/h in less than 20 seconds," describes RCMP Cpl. Robert McDonald.
Click here to watch it all go down and remember to keep your eyes focused on the road ahead.

Car parts expired.Nothing lasts forever. Not even auto parts. Here's our checklist on what will need replacing.
Although it isn't a habit with most of us, checking the date of manufacture or expiry date of anything one buys is a generally wise thing to do. And believe it or not, this advice applies to car parts and accessories too. Like all things man-made, these too have a finite life, after which they may either not work as effectively as they should or even require immediate replacement.
A typical belief is that if your car is maintained properly it will keep working just as well. But one needs to get out of the "don't-fix-it-if-it-isn't-broken" mind frame, as running a car with aging components will surely invite bigger servicing bills later. This happens as the aging part affects the proper working of other components which then start to age at a much faster pace than normal.
Here is a checklist for those who believe that car parts, last as long as the car's life.
Child seats are not made to last forever. Over time the base of the seat can develop cracks which may shatter in a crash, and belts can become slightly elastic after years of use. Most seats have the date of expiry or manufacture stamped on the seat base. As a general rule the seat will expire 6 years after the date of manufacture.
Ideally, the car conditioner should be checked on an annual basis. One should check the air conditioning system in the vehicle if the air coming out of the AC vents is not cold enough (it should be really cold). Nonetheless a gas recharge is recommended from time to time.
Cabin air filter life depends on the quality of the air in the area where the car is mostly driven and can vary quite a bit. But generally it will need replacement after a car has been driven 25,000km to 30,000km. A sure sign that your cabin filter needs a replacement is when you turn on the defrost but the air flow in the cabin is very weak. Also when you turn the blower switch to high, the noise level goes up but the air flow from the vent remains weak or low.
Airbags and seat tighteners should be changed every 10 to 15 years. But if there are visible tear in the belts then change immediately.
Normally one should change it every 20,000km or after a year, whichever comes first. Clogged air filters affect the fuel-air mix. Expiry date is mentioned in the manual or check with the car dealer or the manufacturer.

LOS ANGELES, August 23, 2013 — Despite being convicted of murder, Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan is the victor. Americans cannot feel good abot the results. Thirteen are dead. More have had their lives changed.
In the name of Islam, Hasan declared war on America, and he won.
SEE RELATED: Leftists like Wonkette attack conservatives, coddle Islamists
Hasan was motivated by radical Islam, and his trial sends a message to Islamists around the world: As long as liberal Democrats are in power, it is open season on Americans and Westerners everywhere.
The liberals who called out radical Islam remain marginalized among the left. The late Christopher Hitchens, former Prime Minister Tony Blair, and retired Senator Joseph Lieberman were the rare liberals with the courage to call evil by its real name.
For many leftists, Hasan was guilty of nothing more than "workplace violence."
Hasan declared himself a soldier of Allah. Yet President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder still refuse to do so. Some liberals will actually claim that the system worked, since Hasan was convicted.
The system did not work. Every step of the way, the system failed. Liberalism replaced sanity with political correctness. Liberalism forced the military to place feelings over saving lives.
If liberals do not want to be blamed for getting innocent people killed, then the solution is for them to stop allowing innocent people to be killed.
Thirteen people were murdered because a known threat was allowed to stay in his job, despite "red flags." Thirteen people were murdered because negative job evaluations were ignored. Even when those in authority were troubled."
Thirteen people were murdered because obsession with diversity and multiculturalism prevented the military from removing a lunatic and isolating him from the general population.
SEE RELATED: Wonkette, Islamists, and selective liberal outrage
More people will be murdered because Obama, Holder, and their supporters care more about protecting a discredited narrative than in saving lives. The liberal obsession with being right prevents admitting and correcting wrongs and actually doing right.
Al Qaeda is not on the run. They have not been decimated. They have spread throughout the globe. The names of the organizations may change, but the purpose is the same.
Hasan was a radical Islamic terrorist. He should have been treated as a terrorist the minute his rantings were discovered.
The neoconservative, George W. Bush concept of preemptive war was derided by liberals as barbaric. Well now we have tried the politically correct sensitivity approach.
Thirteen people in Texas were murdered by real barbarism motivated by radical Islam.
Hasan was the triggerman, but he had political enablers. If leftists want to stop being accused of coddling Islamists, then they should stop coddling Islamists. Refusing to honestly label events is making excuses.
A guilty verdict is not a victory for the system. Victory was gone the moment these murders happened.
If the left truly wants to make a difference, they should start by acknowledging that radical Islam was the direct cause of the Fort Hood murders. After admitting that radical Islam exists, the military should be allowed to treat future Hasans as terrorists, not criminals. This is not a law enforcement matter.
In other words, the left will have to change everything they believe on this issue, because what they believe on this issue has been thoroughly discredited.
The left can shriek about conservatives "playing politics" with this issue, but the people who played politics were those who allowed Hasan to remain free after knowing he was a powder keg ready to explode.
The system failed. Evil triumphed over good. Future Jihadists will continue to terrorize Americans as long as they know that the government will punish them after the fact without ever admitting what motivates unholy warriors.
Fort Hood was completely preventable. The failure to prevent it was a defeat.
The next defeat is around the corner. Meanwhile, liberals will remain more offended over accusations of enabling Islamists than in stopping them.
The results of the dead bodies speak for themselves, and yell much louder than liberals howling in protest to the contrary.

Traditional markets
Traditional markets are where you can experience customary Korean shopping culture. At these markets, you will only find one-story buildings and small handcarts full of interesting goods.
When you shop at one of these traditional markets, it is a good idea to shop at a comfortable pace, eating snacks at a street cart, and absorbing the culture. Carry Korean currency because it is unlikely that these shops accept foreign currency or credit cards. Gyeongdong, Kwang Jang and Namdaemun are among Seoul's most popular markets.

'Yeezus' Vs. 'Born Sinner': The 3 Best Tracks On Each Album
Song #2 (Kanye West): "Blood on the Leaves"
Why We Love It: Full disclosure: We don't all love it. In fact, there are quite a few people in the VIBE office who press the "next" button as soon as the Nina Simone sample starts on this track (just read our Yeezus review). But those who love this song really love it because of the sample, the drums that kick in during the second minute of the song, and (again!) the passion of Christ Yeezus. We could do without the Molly reference and the lyrics about Instagram. But something tells us that, even if you hate this song right now, it'll grow on you over time.

Tomorrow evening on Fountain Square will be dry! I promise, or I'll personally refund your ticket money. This week's installment of the free MidPoint Indie Summer concert series on the Square features another solid bill. Joining in on the fun Friday is rootsy Indie Rock crew and Bloodshot recording artists Ha Ha Tonka, the eclectic Izzy and the Catastrophics (read more here) and our pals from great Athens, Ohio-born Indie Chamber Folk group, The Ridges.
The Ridges (MPMF vets) usually add a great personal touch to their area gigs by making cool little commercials for the event (which we've featured several times in the past). Tomorrow's show is no different. Check their latest "ad" and then click here to listen to more tunes from The Ridges.
Friday's MidPoint Indie Summer show starts at 7 p.m.
Here's a taste of Ha Ha Tonka, via the music video for the group's "Lonely Fortunes" from last year's Death of a Decade.
And here's a wild video from Izzy and Co. for the song "Mi Bailarina."
The newly remodeled, freshly reopened Washington Park in Over-the-Rhine is shaping up to be one of the hottest music venues in the city. Last evening, the every-Wednesday "Bandstand Bluegrass" series kicked off with Jake Speed and the Freddies; tonight is the debut of the park's every-Thursday "Jazz in the Park" series (7 p.m., with Chris Comer and Napoleon Maddox of IsWhat?!); and tomorrow marks the debut of the R&B/Soul "Friday Flow" concerts, which will take place each Friday and begin with an appearance by fantastic Neo Soul singer Dwele (Selectas Choice DJs Rare Groove, Apryl Reign and DJ Pillo, as well as Under New Orders and Darris Sneed & The Pulse also perform at the 7 p.m. event).
And today it was announced that three of the biggest acts announced for September's MidPoint Music Festival will perform at Washington Park's new MPMF stage. A total of four acts will perform each night at the Park stage. The Washington Park shows will be accessible to those with MPMF All Music Access Passes or VIP Passes, or with "a la carte" individual tickets, which are on sale now.
Andrew Bird headlines the Washington Park stage on Thursday, Sept. 27. Tickets for that show only are $25. Grizzly Bear is the main MPMF act on the stage for Friday, Sept. 28 (single tickets: $30) and Sleigh Bells headlines the stage Saturday, Sept. 29 ($30). Click here for your ticketing options. Early Bird All Music Access and Loyalty Presale tickets are sold out. A limited number of All Music Access Passes ($69) and VIP Passes presented by CVG ($169) are still available.
Several local acts have been notified in recent weeks that they have been chosen to perform at this fall's MidPoint Music Festival. Organizers today revealed its second wave of national acts that will join them at the Sept. 27-29 fest — Andrew Bird, Ralph Stanley and his Clinch Mountain Boys (revealed a couple of weeks ago at a MidPoint Indie Summer concert), The Walkmen, The Antlers, Hospitality, Rich Aucion, Stepdad, Eternal Summers, White Arrows, Dirty Bourbon River Show, Hume, Sidewalk Chalk, Holy Ghost Tent Revival, Kitten, F. Strokes, Wooden Wand, Hundred Waters, Golden Boy, Tim Easton and Army Navy.
Keep up to date with the latest MPMF news at mpmf.com and this here music blog at citybeat.com. Early Bird All Music Access and Loyalty Presale passes are sold out. A limited number of All Music Access Passes ($69) and VIP Passes presented by CVG ($169) now on sale. Washington Park Day Tripper passes will be available soon. Get your tickets now at CincyTicket.com.
Check out news songs from The Antlers and (previously announced MPMF band) Grizzly Bear at NPR here.
Here's the latest music video from The Walkmen, for their tune "Heaven."
And here's a recent CNN piece on Andrew Bird.
This whole week has been overflowing with big-time concerts, from Radiohead to Red Hot Chili Peppers to Drake. If you went to any (and especially if you went to ALL), your pocketbook is probably a little lighter this weekend. So, in honor of all of you heroes who paid $15 just to park or spent $100 on three beers, tonight's live music recommendations are all FREE. And high-quality, to boot.
• Kick off your weekender on Fountain Square tonight for perhaps the most eclectic MidPoint Indie Summer series concerts of the year. Kicking off at 7 p.m., the free show is like a musical world tour that takes you from the early Reggae sounds of Jamaica (with local openers The Pinstripes) to the unique and exotic native-Blues of Timbuktu (Malian music legend Khaira Arby, pictured, and her band) to the grinding, deep Funk of Nashville's vintage Soul revivalists The Dynamites featuring Charles Walker on the mic. Dancing shoes are a must!
Walker and the Dynamites recently teamed with fellow soldier in the retro-funky revolution, Bettye Lavette, for the single "Yours & Mine." Check the phenomenal duet below.
• Local powerhouse power trio The Sundresses perform a freebie tonight at MOTR Pub in Over-the-Rhine. The 10 p.m. show also features Lexington rockers Oh My Me, making tonight's show a half-reunion of the "Midwest by Southwest" tour from this past spring (which also featured Wussy — who are currently headed to the west coast for dates — and Whiskey Daredevils from Cleveland).
Oh My Me has an intriguing and often captivating sound, mixing a groovy back-drop of fluid, hypnotic psychedelia with singer Erin Reynolds' stunningly soulful vocals weaving between the grooves — sort of a modern day Big Brother and the Holding Company. Lots of singers get the Janis Joplin comparison; Reynolds' voice and presence are so thoroughly alluring and absolutely natural, she's one of the few who actually deserves it.
Check the clip below for a taste.
More than just the openers, there's another reason to show up early. The first 20 people through the door tonight receive a free copy of the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards' 2008 Album of the Year, Barkinghaus, by headliners The Sundresses.
Click here for the full run down of tonight's live musical entertainment offerings.
The MidPoint Music Festival returns to Over-the-Rhine (including inside the newly unveiled Washington Park, which hosts the main "Main Stage") Sept. 27-29. After weeks of speculation, we now we have the first lineup announcement for MPMF.12, which features, once again, top-line Indie artists — from new buzz groups and some current, critically-acclaimed favorites to a few true Alt music pioneers.
Longtime supporters Dewey's Pizza had the scoop on the announcement this morning. Visit them here on Facebook.
Below are the first 19 acts to be announced. About 150 to go! Stay tuned.
Grizzly Bear
The Dirty Projectors
Sleigh Bells
Dinosaur Jr.
Best Coast
Cloud Nothings

If you'd like some face time with the MPMF authorities, just head down to Fountain Square this Friday for the free MidPoint Indie Summer concert at 7 p.m. The event is a world tour of music, kicking off with local Ska/Reggae/Soul masters The Pinstripes, who join Malian artist Khaira Arby and Funk/Soul headliners The Dynamites.
Tickets for the 11th annual MidPoint Music Festival went on sale this morning. Click here to get yours before everyone else.
Here's what MPMF producer Dan McCabe has to say about this year's event: "This is the fifth year CityBeat has operated Cincinnati's 11-year old MidPoint Music Festival. In each year we have pushed to expand the event with the help of our sponsors, the Over The Rhine neighborhood and music fans. MPMF is now a regional cultural event that shows off our city like no other. This September all eyes and ears will be on you Cincinnati! Now is your opportunity to participate. Get your pass while they last."
Perhaps the biggest news announced today was the addition of a new venue — a stage in the freshly remodeled Washington Park. The park venue is being called "MPMF.12's main stage," so expect many of the biggest acts to perform there. Fans can purchase advanced single-concert tickets for that main stage for the first time this year. The stage is open to fans of all ages.
The fest is also offering "Loyalty Presale All Music Access Passes" at a discount. Supplies are limited.
On June 6, the first lineup announcement will be issued. A "minimum of 20" of the 170 or so acts booked for the fest will be announced. (I've heard "rumors" about a couple; my only hint: "animals.")
Keep an eye on MPMF.com for the latest developments.

In related news, the MidPoint Indie Summer concert series (which has it's own Wikipedia page!) returns every Friday on Fountain Square starting June 1. Expect lineup announcements soon. A certain amazing local Power Pop/Rock band has "hinted" they will be a part of the series this year. But you didn't hear it from me.
MidPoint has also posted some fresh artwork that you are encouraged to use to create your own "posters, clothes, or otherwise interesting and useful things." Get your base materials here and check out the design below.
I love the last night of MidPoint. And I hate the last night of MidPoint. I love it because it's typically the most attended of the festival's three nights, the energy is beyond amped, the venues are packed, the very air seems charged, like Duke abandoned electric cables and is beaming power through the aether straight into your skull.
I hate it because this is the end, my only friend the end, and even as the evening begins with a promise of greatness, it comes with a melancholic touch and before the light has started to diffuse, I'm already missing this year's festivities and anticipating next year's first night.
Lucky score — found a wicked parking spot on Court, and I wandered over to Below Zero for Brooklyn's Bear Hands. Standing in front of the bar's enormous red "Z" on the wall, singer Dylan Rau also played bass and keys. Backed by two guitars and drums, Rau's voice had a strong Post-Punk, New Wave edge that shone with the band's catchy, circular rhythm. He was charismatic, big-eyed, and easy on the eyes. There was a good reason that neon-heavy Below Zero became packed very quickly. This band was not one to miss, in my book. I wonder how Bear Hands felt about the disco balls inside? I bet there was some lovin' going on there.

The dahlias bloomed in July and then I cut them
down, they grew back as tall as ever and blooming again. Hard to believe, I have grown dahlias for several years and this is a first time for this. Has any one else had them to rebloom ? It measures 7 inches. Happy gardening.caroline
Follow-Up Postings:
That is beautiful. When you say you cut them down, how far do you mean? |
- Posted by missfourseasons (My Page) on Mon, Sep 15, 08 at 6:30
There is a nursery here in Guam that is selling dahlias now and I am so tempted, but I thought it is just too tropical for them here and wondered how they did it. I'd probably kill it...now I'm wondering if all the rain and humidity you guys have been getting might be good for them?? Always thought they needed some cold to rest for some reason...I am impressed! |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 15, 08 at 9:50
What a nice bonus Caroline! Are the ones that are reblooming all the same variety? That one is a pretty color, peachy on my computer. |
- Posted by caroline_2008 Z 6 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 15, 08 at 9:55
Helen, they had brown leaves and looked as if they were finished blooming, it was so hot. I cut them back to about a foot from the ground. They are like bushes now, about 5ft. They break so easily. I never fertilized them. Happy gardening, caroline |
- Posted by caroline_2008 Z 6 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 15, 08 at 10:27
Yes , Christie they are, I planted them so long ago, maybe 4 yrs. I wasn't keeping tags then :) so don't know their name. I was so surprised when they grew back up.I have never had them to bloom after last of Aug. Happy gardening, caroline |
- Posted by jspeachyn5 6 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 15, 08 at 14:26
Caroline, what a lovely peach color. I think you are very lucky to get a second show this growing season. Bonnie |
I just have one dahlia and it has set new buds and is blooming again....smaller and less doubled than earlier, but nice anyway. I don't know much about them.....I just leave it in the ground and let it do its thing. |
- Posted by caroline_2008 Z 6 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 15, 08 at 18:17
Thanks all for looking. Yes gldno that is nice that your is reblooming. Mine is 7inches across. Maybe I should dig and divide this fall. Did you cut yours down too? jspeachyn |
I never cut my back, probably should have since it fell over and I couldn't raise it back up; it was just too large. I need a much sturdier staking system for next year. |

b. 1741 Zurich, Switzerland, d. 1825 Putney Hill, Great Britain Painter; Draftsman Swiss
Johann Heinrich Fuseli "used to dab his beastly brush into the oil, and sweeping round the palette in the dark, take up a great lump of white, red, or blue, as it might be and plaster it over a shoulder or face. . . . I found him the most grotesque mixture of literature, art, scepticism, indelicacy, profanity, and kindness," remembered a former student. A painter's son, Fuseli grew up immersed in classical literature and surrounded by Zurich's great thinkers, learning from a young age the kinship between painting and poetry. At eight he began copying his father's engravings. Ordained as a clergyman in 1761-a career his father chose-Fuseli was forced out of Zurich for denouncing a dishonest magistrate. After touring Germany, he moved to London, where Sir Joshua Reynolds encouraged him to paint. From 1770 to 1778, Fuseli taught himself in Rome. He copied Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes, drawn to the expressive style and the sometimes disturbing imagery. He also painted tragic or violent situations from literature, particularly Shakespeare and Milton, populated by stylized figures with exaggerated movements. Returning to England, he renamed himself Henry Fuseli. Critical successes brought international acclaim, despite his unusually unrestrained, agitated approach. In 1799 Fuseli was named a Royal Academy professor, and he became curator there in 1804.

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 For I have decided this for myself, not to come to you again in sorrow. | 1 So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you. |
2 For if I [cause] you sorrow, then who will make me glad except the one who is caused to be sad by me? | 2 For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved? |
3 And I wrote this very [thing] in order that [when I] came, I would not experience sorrow from those who ought to have made me glad, [because I] have confidence about you all, that my joy {belongs to all of you}. | 3 I wrote as I did so that when I came I should not be distressed by those who ought to make me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would all share my joy. |
4 For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not so that you may be caused to be sad, but so that you may know the love that I have especially for you. | 4 For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you. |
5 But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has not caused me sorrow, but {to some degree}--{in order not to say too much}--[to] all [of] you. | 5 If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you, to some extent--not to put it too severely. |
6 This punishment by the majority [is] sufficient for such a person. | 6 The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient for him. |
7 So then, you should rather forgive and comfort him, lest somehow this person should be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. | 7 Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. |
8 Therefore I urge you to confirm [your] love for him. | 8 I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. |
9 Because for this [reason] also I wrote, in order that I could know your proven character, whether you are obedient in everything. | 9 The reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. |
10 Now to whomever you forgive anything, I also [do]; for indeed, whatever I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, [it is] {for your sake} in the presence of Christ, | 10 If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven--if there was anything to forgive--I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, |
11 in order that we may not be exploited by Satan (for we are not ignorant of his schemes). | 11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. |
12 Now [when I] arrived in Troas for the gospel of Christ and a door was opened for me by the Lord, | 12 Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and found that the Lord had opened a door for me, |
13 I did not experience rest in my spirit, [because] I did not find Titus my brother, but saying farewell to them, I departed for Macedonia. | 13 I still had no peace of mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said good-by to them and went on to Macedonia. |
14 But thanks [be] to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ, and who reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of him through us in every place. | 14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. |
15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, | 15 For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. |
16 to those on the one hand an odor from death to death, [and] to those on the other hand a fragrance from life to life. And who [is] qualified for these [things]? | 16 To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? |
17 For we are not like the majority who peddle the word of God, but as from pure motives--but as from God--we speak before God in Christ. | 17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God. |

Sunfish / Bluegill Fillets - 5 lbs
Price: $87.00
- Skin on Fillets - Individually Frozen
- Wild Caught in Canada
Sunfish / Bluegill fillets--5 pound box--headless, scaled, skin on frozen fillets
Bluegills go by many names depending on the area of the country--Sunfish, Brim, Bream, Pumpkinseed, Coppernose, call them what you want and order the wild caught frozen fillets here.
Sunnies are what I remember catching as a kid on family fishing trips and cabin weekends. They bite like crazy when you find them and fight a good battle. They aren't as big as the walleye, but they are just as tasty—and with WalleyeDirect.com you don't have to scale and clean the little ones.
Because these are smaller fish the size of the fillets can vary with the season. (It depends what we catch--sometimes bigger fillets, sometimes a bunch of little ones)

I have HydroCare and Pure & Natural - Milk & Honey. Both are great! The HydroCare soaked in in 5 minutes so you don't have a greasy feeling. Milk & Honey was thicker and long lasting. I will be repurchasing both as they are cheap ($2-$4) and perfect!! Favorite Chapstick brand!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this product in HydroCare and it is a clear lip balm stick that is supposed to moisturise the lips and protect them. It is a very light lipbalm and it is very discreet on the lips; leaving no white sheen or colour behind, not even gloss. I think it does moisturise the lips when the product is applied to your lips but about an hour after you have applied it, my lips stayed the same with not much difference to the moisture on them. Overall I like this product and will continue using it but it is not very nourishing on the lips.
I have been using the Nivea Lip Care (Med Protection and Essential Care) for the past 3 years now, and it is simply the BEST lip balm ever! I have tried from Chapstick to the almost $50 ones from high-end brands, but this simply beats them all hands down. It is moisturizing with no oily or waxy "aftertaste", and tackles chappy lips with incredible prowess. I prefer either the Med Protection or Essential Care since these two have no tinted colours whatsoever, so at this moment I cannot vouch for the other flavoured versions of their Lip Care. But seriously, the Med Protection and Essential Care are just such an amazing product by Nivea.
This stuff is the BOMB! <3 I absolutely adore it, and it's very cheap as well. You get great quality for your price. I've tried the original one in the dark blue tube (went through several tubes of that) and today I picked up the camomile & calendula one. My new one is just as moisturizing, however I'm not too fond of the scent (smells kind of grandma-perfumy-floraly). The original one smells SOOOO GOOD though :).
This is my favourite lip balm ever! I own the cherry, strawberry, dark blue normal one and the smoothie one and I love them all! They are very moisturizing and don't taste bad at all! In fact the strawberry one and the cherry one smell so good and they add a nice tint of red to your lips! The application stick is a little big however I have fat lips so it doesn't bother me at all! I find myself constantly reapplying the lip balm but I think that's just because I love them so much! And the price is great compared to any lip treatment you would find at anywhere else. Great product, would definitely recommend it.
Amazing, I have been using these for 10 years. My favourite is the original dark blue one. It gives a nice glossy finish and stays on for hours! I put it on before bed and my lips are sometimes still glossy in the morning. Its the perfect moisturiser for lips, I use it everyday and all year round. I found that the others aren't as good as the dark blue one. I've used almost all of them and always come back to the original.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love these!! I buy a ton of these when they go on sale and stash them everywhere! I usually used the original blue one or the light blue hydro one. I think the hydro one is my favourite. If I'm putting on lip products afterwards, I put this one first and let it sit for a bit. Afterwards I tissue off the balm and then apply like normal. I've also tried the yellow SPF one - not as moisturizing, and the strawberry one - smells delicious and is tinted red. I will probably keep repurchasing these for forever!
This is the best lip product I always have in my purse, bag or pocket where ever I go! It makes my feel comfortable and it does not makes my lips dry and cracked even after a long day under the sun, it won't even discolor your natural lip color. I also love its smell, sweet but not that strong and I can't taste something when I'm wearing it. It also comes with variants that would let a person choose the best feature that suits his/her needs. So cool.
More reviews by JessMolesworth
this is my favourite lip balm. i like the light blue/aqua one. i always get a bad taste in my mouth when using lip balms but i don't with nivea.
I had been using carmex for ages and somehow my lips became immune to it so I decided to go back to this. I use the blue tube and I have to say I really like it:) I like that it's in a tube so there's no mess , it's cheap , easy to throw on and very readily available. My only problem is that you have to re-apply it a lot during the day which can be a bit of a nuisance but it's the only drawback :) love it <3

Guarding is never 'treated' with aggression or confrontations. Dogs guard because they feel they are going to lose what they have, and experience has taught them it is true. Avoid confrontations of any kind, he is feeling threatened and his warnings have been repeatedly ignored - hence the tendency to bite/snap 'right' away. Dogs use 'calming signals' when they feel threatened or uncomfortable in a situation. They may - lick their lips/nose, they will avoid eye contact, turn their head, just their eyes, or their whole body away from you, they may 'freeze' in position, hover over their bowl, look at you out the side of their eyes-, ignore all that, growl, ignore the growl (punish the growl the bites 'without warning') - the dog is forced to bite. He does not WANT to bite you. Firstly, give him his bowl and walk away. Leave him to eat in peace - he deserves that much. Do not try to take anything away from him that is not life threatening. If he has something he cannot have, try calling him off of it to another room or scattering some high value treats on the floor so that he has to move away from it - so that you can safely pick it up. Secondly - teach him to TRADE, and teach yourself to trade with him -every time. Start with a very low value item to him, perhaps an old toy that he will take in his mouth, then offer him a high value treat ( meat, cheese, hot dog) when he drops the toy, give him the treat, AND give him the toy back. Repeat repeat repeat. Gradually work up to higher value items. Thirdly - teach 'leave it' and 'drop it' and reward like crazy when he does. Highly recommend the book 'Mine' by Jean Donaldson. It deals specifically with resource guarding, and has a protocol to follow using positive reinforcement. |

Thank you all for your suggestions. I think we may call Ohio State. It seems extreme when first thinking about it but this issue is extreme and we really want this to work. He can be so good 90% of the time but his bad times are really bad and dangerous. And we just feel that everything that has been attempted thus far has not worked or is making it worse. We love the big guy emensely but cannot put ourselves or others at risk. We will keep you posted. |

You are in a situation that you really must spend the time and the drive to go see a certified veterinarian behaviourist. They can run all the blood tests that others have recommended, and they should be done. They will be able to tell you how to handle your dogs problems, and probably give you a reference for a positive method trainer in your area. Trying to find another home for your dog is only going to pass the problem to someone else. Please make the effort to consult with the certified behaviorist.

Ohio State is a great idea! Until them remember that every time your dog practices the aggressive behavior it increases the likelihood he will do it again. Remember for him the aggression is working. If you can eliminate any chance for him to practice the behavior you will be ahead of the game.

This is a very pretty nightgown, but it is too short. It is about 2 inches below mid-calf & I'm a short person, 5'1". The material is on the thin side, so it's not plushy soft. I'd say it runs true to size. The elastic sleeves fit good & snug which I like. I'll be more apt to wearing this in the cool autumn, instead of the deep cold winter. The price is excellent, so I'll be keeping it. I'll probably order another, since I can wear it on cool nights & save my plushies for the deep winter cold.

I ordered the pink floral which is very pretty. The flannel is very nice. Unfortunately, after washing, it was reduced to about a size smaller. The elastic in the cuffs is extremely tight for sleeping since it rides up and binds my forearms. I plan to remove the elastic. I would recommend ordering at least one size up.

I like that the back yoke is double fabric. The back yolk is the first area that wears out and gets thin when the gown gets old. The sleeves are a little too short.

This was a gift for a Dear 92 year old Grandma. The color was lovely and we live in the north so the warmth was an advantage. She is in a nursing home, so I do not know how the laundering of it went. But, I was very pleased as she was also. Thank you...

Just what I was looking for.
By coldie
from utah
I am much colder at night than my husband. I like nightgowns and prefer the raglan sleeves if I can get them. They are less binding when sleeping. I live in Utah and our winters are cold. It washes nice and is soft and warm but the lengh shinks to mid calf after the first washing. The rest of the fit is fine.I looked long and hard last year for any flannel nightgown that was less than $50.00 a pop and was hard pressed to find any. I did find one with set in sleeves. I prefer the raglan if I can get them. This has a nice fit,with raglan sleeves. I wish they had chosed a smaller floral print but that does not affect the product.

[1723] High Fat/Cholesterol Diet Leads to Accumulation of an Electron-Dense Lamellar Material in Pig Hepatocytes
Cristina D Cole, Lauren N Bell, William G Van Alstine, Mouhamad Alloosh, Michael Sturek, Naga Chalasani, Romil Saxena. Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN; Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, West Lafayette, IN
Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, one of the most common chronic liver diseases in humans, is clinically categorized into simple steatosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). While simple steatosis is believed to be reversible, NASH progresses to cirrhosis over a variable period of time. Diagnosis of NASH is based on the presence of ballooned hepatocytes, which are thought to signify cellular damage by as yet undefined factors. We describe the ultrastructural changes in hepatocytes of Ossabaw swine, which represent a large animal model of metabolic syndrome and nutritionally-induced NASH.
Design: Ossabaw swine were fed a modified atherogenic diet (NASH diet group; n=5) consisting of 16.5% calories from protein, 20% calories from fructose, 46% calories from fat (admixture of hydrogenated soybean oil, coconut oil, and lard), and 2% cholesterol or standard chow (control group; n=6) for 24 weeks. Differences between the two groups were evaluated on H&E sections and electron microscopy (EM).
Results: Hepatocytes in pigs fed the NASH diet show accumulation of electron-dense material arranged as whorled lamellar structures (n=5) (fig 1). This material is present within membrane-bound vesicles, consistent with secondary lysosomes. Hepatocytes in the control group do not contain similar material (n=0) (fig 2). All but one pig fed the NASH diet show variable numbers of enlarged, pale staining hepatocytes on H&E stain (n=4). This change is not seen in the control group (n=0). Steatosis is not seen on H&E stain, but scattered lipid droplets are present on EM in both groups.
Conclusions: Pigs fed the NASH diet accumulate an abnormal material in their hepatocytes, which is reminiscent of membranous profiles observed in a variety of conditions such as phospholipidosis and the phospholipid storage disease, Niemann-Pick. This similarity raises the possibility that the accumulated material represents phospholipids, possibly arising from damaged cellular or subcellular membranes. This may in turn reflect the effects of increased hepatocyte lipid loading. The finding of similar material in human NASH may pave the way for more accurate identification of ballooned hepatocytes.
