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.
Straight Line Stitch is pure Metal with a strong sound behind lead vocalist Alexis Brown. The band has released seven studio offerings; the most recent, The Fight For Our Lives, came out earlier this year. The album soared up the charts, reaching the Top 5 on Billboard's Heatseekers and cracking the Top 40 on the Independent Albums chart. CityBeat spoke with Alexis to preview the Mayhem Festival, which comes to Cincinnati's Riverbend this Wednesday.
The eerie humming sound that kicked off The Afghan Whigs' 1993 major label debut, Gentlemen (considered by many to be one of the best albums of the '90s), sounded mysterious to those who've never visited Greater Cincinnati. But those in Northern Kentucky and Cincy knew that rhythmic buzzing wasn't a swarm of bees or a loop of some old man snoring. To anyone who frequently traveled across the Roebling Suspension Bridge over the Ohio River, the sound was instantly recognizable as the sound created by the cars, buses and trucks driving across the bridge's distinctive blue grating. So in some ways, it makes perfect sense that this year's RoeblingFest, Saturday's daylong celebration of the 155-year-old structure, is showcasing some high quality musical acts to enhance the festivities.
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.
When the sun rises at 6 in the morning and temperatures climb to 95 degrees by 9 a.m., it's impossible to sleep in while camping at Bonnaroo, which means your buzz never really wears off after the first night. If you have any hopes of surviving Bonnaroo, this is a critical time to hydrate with a morning brew and lots of water.
Lines for portalets stretch painfully far in the morning, but the graffiti inside each one accurately captures the essence of Bonnaroo spirit and almost makes the wait worthwhile. Graffiti common in every portalet includes crudely drawn pot leaves and bold assertions like "Smoke Weed" and "Get Laid," both of which are high on the priority list for most Bonnaroo patrons.
One could argue that New Orleans is one of the most fun places on the planet. You cannot beat the food, laidback attitudes and genuine hospitality. Combine all of that with some of the most talented musicians in the world and you have the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
The New Orleans Jazz Fest kicked off in full swing last Friday, April 26, with thousands flocking to the New Orleans Fairgrounds to hear their favorite musical acts, see one-of-a-kind pieces from local artists and taste the flavors of New Orleans.
Local musical acts kicked off each morning on the 11 different stages around the fairgrounds, leading up to the first weekend's main acts, which included include John Mayer, Billy Joel and Dave Matthews Band, which closed out each night on the Acura Stage.
One of the most enjoyable parts of Jazz Fest for me each year is seeing "the bands before the main stage bands." I always walk away with new music to listen to from legends and discover exciting new stage acts. This year I fell in love in the Blues tents with guitar legends like Sonny Landreth, Guitar Slim Jr., Lil Buck Senegal, Deacon John and Little Freddie King.
Dr. John, who is always a Jazz Fest highlight performed on Friday and had an Ohio native backing him. Dr. John recently restructured his band before Jazz Fest and kept only one former member, trombonist Sarah Morrow who grew up near Pickerington, Ohio, just outside of Ohio.
The New Orleans Fairgrounds filled to the brim Saturday with attendees showing up early to get the best seats to hear Bill Joel belt out his hits. Joel closed out his set by playing with New Orleans' own Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Sunday morning brought cloudy skies that soon turned into torrential downpours. But that didn't stop Jazz Fest goers from staking out spots for Dave Mathews Band. The skies cleared enough to dry off before the second wave of rain, soaking DMB as they played through the rain for thousands of diehard Jazz Fest fans. The dancing in the mud surely created lifelong memories for some attendees.
If seeing the Dave Matthews Band play an epic set in the rain was not good enough, you could make your way over the Blues tent and see the King play the Blues like it is the end of the world. BB King electrified as he took the stage in the Blues Tent to close out the first weekend of the festival. The legendary Allen Toussaint joined King on stage and, as BB began his set, belted out an a cappella Blues tribute to the King himself. King ended the set with a toast to the audience: "If I can't be with you next week, think about me some time."
Widespread Panic closed out my last day at NOLA Jazz Fest with a rainy two and a half hour set for their loyal legion of fans, all of whom seemed perfectly happy to dance in the mud at the Acura Stage.
Yesterday kicked off the second weekend of the famous festival and will feature performances by New Orleans native Mia Borders and Patti Smith.
I will miss New Orleans' music and food dearly when I go and will start the countdown to Essence Festival in July, when I return to the Big Easy for more music and fun times.

The Lebanon-based up-and-comers at the All-Nighter Studio want to set your everlovin' music mind spinning this upcoming weekend. They've brought together an impressive array of jammy, funky, folksy and twangy groups for a two-day music festival they're calling Greentree Groove.
Locally based independent label Grasshopper Juice Records has been presenting the Adjust Your Eyes Music & Art Festival, an annual showcase of local visual art and some of the label's artists (plus other Grasshopper-friendly acts from Cincy and around the region), since 2006. Along with showcasing some of the city's most creative original music makers, the event has raised thousands of dollars for organizations like American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen For The Cure and Friends for Chris Walker (in support of the beloved late local bassist).
After a 2011 festival at Newport's Southgate House (now Thompson House), the AYE fest (presented in conjunction with Far-I-Rome Productions and sponsor Soap Floats Recording) moves to downtown's Mainstay Rock Bar for this weekend's two-day blowout, once again spotlighting a diverse cross-section of musical styles and approaches.
The event runs tonight and tomorrow from 7 p.m.-2 a.m. and will feature more than 30 acts on both of the venue's stages throughout both nights, as well as art installations prepared by BUNK News. Admission each night is $7.

Machine Head has given us six studio albums with the seventh upcoming in September called Unto the Locusts (listen to the first single, "Locust," below). The band has headlined every Metal festival across the country and has been inspiring up and coming Metal bands for years. CityBeat caught up with lead singer Robb Flynn to preview this week's Mayhem Festival, which hits Riverbend this Wednesday. Flynn discussed the path that Machine Head has taken to get to its place among Metal's elite, the group's craziest fans and the band's new album.

3 Good actioner, but not really a Die Hard.Trefusis | 30/10/2007 | See all Trefusis's reviews (243)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Top 10 Games Reviewer Top 10 Music Reviewer Top 100 Books Reviewer Top 10 Sport and Outdoor Reviewer John is back, more indestructible than ever in a film that clearly thinks bigger is better. It's all very enjoyable, but now the action is so unbelievable that it brings a smile to your face - it's now much more worse excesses of Bond, than the more convincing action of the original Die Hard or the Bournes. Then again, it's still probably the best action film we can hope to see until next year.
5 not dead yetelmarco | 08/02/2008 | See all elmarco's reviews (9)i'm going to disagree with the last few reviews i read there and say this is one of (if not) the best die hard movies. the willis wise cracks are still there, the action is non stop, and justin long is great as his tag along partner. okay so this is typical american hero stuff with a fairly obvious story and ott action.....but this is die hard is'nt it...so who cares!i highly recommed this to any who has enjoyed the other 3 in the series, or just to anyone who likes a good action movie
5 great action movieRareAndDeletedDVDS | 25/09/2007 | See all RareAndDeletedDVDS's reviews (52)a brilliant bruce willis movie a must see for die hard fans full of special effect 5 star.
4 Watchable fourth instalmentBikerScout | 27/02/2008 | See all BikerScout's reviews (89)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer I have to admit, on hearing the news of 'Die Hard 4', I was quite dubious. Could the now older Willis maintain the trademark McClane machismo? Would McTiernan return as director? Would the plot revolve around a computer virus? But more importantly, did the world really need another Die Hard movie?...First of all, Willis has still got it. And by 'it', I mean the ability to handle the action and throw out the cheesy one-liners without coming across like an old-age pensioner clinging on to the successes of their youth. (I'm trying really, really hard not to mention Stallone at this point...) Sadly, the trademark white vest is nowhere to be seen but the determination & spirit of John McClane lives on.As for director responsibilities, it was announced from an early stage that John McTiernan would not be returning to the helm. I remember reading this news and thinking the movie would instantly be a disaster. Replacing McTiernan would be one of the "new, up and coming" action directors. Len Wiseman was responsible for the above-average 'Underworld' but also the damp, bloody squib of 'Underworld Evolution'. Would yet another classic series be ruined by yet another 'average' director? I'm happy to say that Wiseman actually delivered the goods. The action is spectacular. Although the best bits were all in the trailer, but that's another topic entirely.As expected, the plot does indeed revolve around computers and viruses (as so many 21st century action movies seem to do these days!). There's a heck of a lot of techno-babble but don't worry because Justin Long, as McClanes new sidekick, is there to explain it all for those of us who aren't quite up on our haxx0r 5p33k.Leader of the band of internet terrorists is Timothy Olyphant whose performaces I've enjoyed in the past - most notably as film student Mickey in 'Scream 2' and as Seth Bullock in hit TV-show 'Deadwood'. He's well-cast here and along with newcomer Maggie Q, provide a suitable menace. (Olyphant is soon to be seen in the lead role of Agent 47 in the movie adaptation of video-game 'Hitman'...)Which brings me to my last question - Does the world really need another Die Hard movie? You know, I'm still not quite sure...There's no denying that technology has changed a lot since the debut of the Die Hard franchise in 1988. Even in the 12 years since the last film, things have evolved exponentially but I'm finding myself beginning to resent films which rely so heavily on computer viruses & techno-babble to provide the underlying villainous threat.Whatever happened to a good old-fashioned band of machinegun-toting hoodlums holding up a building with a bunch of explosives that need defusing? Maybe I'm getting old or maybe I just love classic, old school action movies too much...Despite my misgivings, 'Die Hard 4.0' is a fun, enjoyable summer movie and was definitely the first of the summer action movies of 2007 that wasn't a massive disappointment.
3 "Yippee Ki Yay Mother BLAM !!"Chungking | 19/11/2007 | See all Chungking's reviews (19)Remember a few years back when ITV showed the movie "ALIENS" on telly during the early evening and suddenly a new range of swear words appeared? "FUNK YOU ... MOTHER-FUNSTER!". Yes ... it was dubbed to take out the swear words. Well, unfortunately this is what Die Hard 4.0 feels like. Or at least this current version of the DVD because this is the sanatised no-swearing no-blood version of the film. However the good news is that an unrated version will be released and we will finally get to hear John McClane utter his immortal catchphrase in all its glory.As to the film itself it's not as bad as I first thought. The main villian played by Timothy Olyphant isn't as strong a character as Alan Rickman (or Jeremy Irons for that matter). Also there's no way I can accept that John McClane can suddenly fly helicopters! Yet the film does move at a fair old pace and there's enough stunts and action to keep the brain entertained without having to reach for the fast-forward button.So my recommendation? Definitely get the DVD but wait for the 18-rated "Mother-Funster" Edition which has all the swear words and on-screen blood.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 1
Posted By: SookieDate: April 01, 1997 at 01:35:35
Dear Dr. D,
I saw the interesting fact in your book re: Beri Beri disease in the old days when they starting polishing rice. So does this mean all of us that should eat rice should only eat brown rice to get the most benefits from this super food? Does that disease appear today?
Also, how does water chestnuts fit into the Type A diet?

Ok, so it's not as dramatic as I'm making it out to be, but I have to catch your attention *somehow*....
As I said in my last blog, school today (Wed) was cancelled due to inclement weather, and so I had a lot of free time on my hands. Today, I decided that I had a couple of options: first, I could get fat on pizza or I could brave the elements and try and go to market. I chose the latter.
Before I could even *THINK* about stepping in the car, there was much that had to be done. First, I had to put on my flannel and coat and go outside and dig my car out of it's little fortress of snow. Talk about FUN. Yeah, I'd rather watch straight porn than shovel snow. I guess what I dislike most about shovelling snow is that I'm always scared that I'm going to be like those old people that decide to shovel their walkways and get a heart attack. Yes, I know that I'm only 21, but still, I get paranoid about silly things like that.
So I didn't have a heart attack. Yay for that! But on my way to put the shovel away, Momma took a little tumble on the pavement. :-\ My arm kinda still hurts, but I think I'll be fine tomorrow.
With a little help from one of the neighbors, I managed to get my car out of the driveway and go to the store. I got some basic food items to last me a few days (at least until the weekend), and came back home.
When I got back, I noticed that the guy who lives in that studio apartment above the garage is outside, and he says, "Uh, Michael, when you finish unloading your groceries, I need you to look at something."
"Great," I say, sensing that it could only be something bad.
Turns out that one of the pipes had burst outside. Fabulous. Picture it, we're in the bleak midwinter, probably EVERYBODY'S pipes have burst, and now, so has the house that I'm housesitting at. Wow. Things just couldn't get any better.
My first thought was to turn off the water main. Fine, simple enough. But there's just one problem. Actually, two. First, I don't know where it is. Secondly, where ever it is, it's buried under a foot of snow! Holy hell, Batman! What's a girl to do?
I tried getting a hold of the owner of the house, but I couldn't. I called just about every plumber in the whole damned Metro area and finally got one that'll probably be able to come over tomorrow morning/afternoon. Wish me luck on this one, kids. Momma's on her last nerve.
Oh yeah, and school is cancelled tomorrow, as well.
Best of luck with whatever may come your way.
And was there any insulation around that pipe? I know my dad put some tubing around our water pipe, and I live in Indiana for Pete's sake. And you might be sorer tomorrow since the endorphins, your natural pain-reliever, wear off. Kind of like the feeling you get after strenuous exercise the first time around.
Sorry about your bad luck Mike. I personally hate the snow. I sense you do to. maybe you should come out to some place warm like California.
Think how much more it would have hurt if you didn't have all that, umm, padding to fall onto, though...
I am Willy Wonka.

CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.

Historically, strong quarantine measures and geographic isolation, coupled with world-class research, have protected Australia from some of the most serious impacts posed by exotic pests and diseases that are circulating around the world.
But our enviable biosecurity status is increasingly threatened by growing connections to the world through global trade, the movement of plants, animals and people across the globe and by the uncertain impacts of climate change.
We no longer have the luxury of relative isolation as we face an unpredictable and interconnected biosecurity environment. Biosecurity is about the management of risks to our health, economy, industries and environment, from pests and pathogens entering, spreading or establishing in Australian waters or on our soil.
Through a proud history of biosecurity research, CSIRO has made a significant contribution to Australia's biosecurity status. We've:
The CSIRO Biosecurity Flagship builds on these successes, bringing scale and connectivity to help Australia PREVENT, PREPARE for and RESPOND to the spread and impacts of pests and diseases.
We're achieving this by working across the biosecurity continuum – investigating risks offshore, at the border, and monitoring what is happening in our own backyard.
And we're exploring social sciences and smart technologies for detection, surveillance, response and diagnosis.
In the last 20 years a staggering 70 per cent of emerging infectious diseases in people have been found to have originated in animals. We're taking an integrated approach across human and animal health, ecology and environmental science commonly - called One Health - to understand how these viruses spread between wild animals, livestock and people, and how to reduce the risks, or be prepared for rapid response in a human pandemic situation.
Our expertise places us in a leading position to investigate major biosecurity issues now and in the future. We care about high quality science that delivers impact for Australia.
And by continuing to partner with government, industry, universities and other international agencies we can make a difference and protect the health of our people, economy, industries and environment from biosecurity threats.
Australia needs to protect our primary producers, environmental assets and our way of life from biosecurity threats. Learn more about why biosecurity research is needed.

Career in Neurodiagnostics
Electroencephalogram [EEG] – Reveals different brain patterns
The Electroencephalogram [EEG] is a recording of the on-going electrical activity of the brain. An EEG is used to assist in the diagnosis of epilepsy and a variety of neurological symptoms. EEGs also are used to evaluate the effects of head trauma or the consequences of severe infectious disease. EEG information can help doctors determine medical and surgical treatment of epilepsy. Patients having surgery on arteries in the neck or around the heart often have EEG monitoring performed during the procedure, providing the surgeon with additional information about brain function and assuring surgeons that the brain receives enough oxygen. In conducting an EEG, highly sensitive monitoring equipment records the activity through electrodes that are placed at measured intervals on a patient's scalp. The test is not painful. The test itself usually takes about 90 minutes and the principal role of the patient is simply to remain still, relaxed and comfortable.
The simultaneous recording of EEG and videotaped behavior over extended periods of time is referred to as long-term monitoring (LTM). It is useful in diagnosing patients with intermittent or infrequent disturbances as well as in the diagnosis of seizures and other neurological disorders, such as unexplained coma.
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring – Monitors nervous system during surgery
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring [IONM] is the use of neurophysiological monitoring techniques during surgery to provide information to the surgeon about nervous system integrity. The use of IONM guards against neurological complications during surgery and helps reduce the risk of negative surgical outcomes such as paralysis or stroke. IONM is used to monitor neurosurgical procedures and orthopedic procedures, including spinal surgery for scoliosis, tumors, and aneurysms; vascular surgeries; acoustic neuroma surgery; and carotid endarterectomy. Otolaryngologists use intraoperative neuromonitoring to monitor cranial nerve function during ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeries.
The Polysomnogram [PSG] is a recording during sleep that uses EEG and other physiologic monitors to evaluate sleep and sleep disorders, such as loud snoring, difficulty staying awake during the day, falling asleep at inappropriate times, insomnia, and uncontrollable urge to move one's legs. Physicians use polysomnograms to identify dysfunction in sleep/wake cycles, to diagnose breathing disorders during sleep, and to evaluate treatment of these disorders.
Evoked Potentials [EP] are recordings of electrical activity from the brain, spinal nerves, or sensory receptors in response to specific external stimulation. Evoked potentials are helpful in evaluating a number of different neurological problems, including spinal cord injuries, hearing loss, blurred vision and blind spots, acoustic neuroma, and optic neuritis. This test is commonly performed by the technologist during surgery on the spine to help the surgeon make sure nerves are not damaged during the operation. Evoked potentials also are performed in a clinical neurodiagnostic laboratory, using either earphones to stimulate the hearing pathway, a checkerboard pattern on a television screen to stimulate the visual pathway, or a small electrical current to stimulate a nerve in the arm or leg.
Nerve Conduction Studies [NCS] evaluate electrical potentials from peripheral nerves. Technologists stimulate the nerve with an electrical current and then record how long it takes the nerve impulse to reach the muscle. Patients referred for NCS tests suffer from nerve conditions which produce numbness, tingling, muscle pain, muscle weakness, muscle cramping, abnormal movements, pain or loss of sensation, or neurological diseases affecting primarily the feet, legs, hands, arms, back, and neck.
What Is the Career Outlook for Neurodiagnostic Technologists? Employment opportunities are abundant. Particularly strong growth areas are polysomnography and the specialty areas of long term monitoring for epilepsy and intraoperative monitoring. There is a continuous need for well-educated electroneurodiagnostic technologists, and the demand grows as new labs open and existing labs expand.
What are the skills I will need to be successful in this profession? The knowledge base and clinical proficiencies required for performing EEG, evoked potentials, nerve conduction studies, intraoperative neuromonitoring, long term monitoring and polysomnography have evolved tremendously. The level of independent judgment and personal responsibility involved in neurodiagnostic procedures mandate the need for individuals who possess a consistent knowledge and performance that is expected by patients, physicians and employers. Consequently, formal education with a minimum of an associate degree or higher, is critical for long-term success.
How do I prepare to enter the profession? High school students can prepare for the profession by taking math, science, computer and language courses. ASET then recommends attending a CAAHEP accredited END program that grants an associate degree or higher. Click HERE for a listing of schools.
What if I have a college degree and want to learn neurodiagnostic technology? There are accredited neurodiagnostic schools that offer neurodiagnostic certificate programs for individuals who have already obtained an associate or higher degree. This certificate program allows a person to complete an accredited neurodiagnostic program without requiring the student to obtain another full degree.
What if I am already working in health care or want to make a career change? Individuals interested in making career transition into the END profession should visit with a supervisor at a local hospital electroneurodiagnostic lab to consider job shadowing and acclimate yourself with the profession; contact an accredited school for advice; or consider enrolling in an on-line END program. In all cases, it's important to verify that the school is a CAAHEP accredited institution.
Do I need a license to work as an END technologist? A license is a term relating to legislation that regulates the profession within a specific state. Just like a state driver's licenses, a license is issued by a state regulatory body. Licensure is different than professional credentials/registration.
Currently, neurodiagnostic technologists performing EEGs, EPs, IONM and NCS procedures are not required to have a license. However, there are efforts taking place to require licensure in some states. Technologists performing polysomnography studies should be aware that many states do require a RPSGT credential in the performance of duties and may be licensed/controlled under the auspices of a respiratory board. Louisiana and New Jersey now require licensure for technologists performing polysomnography studies. Click HERE for more details. Visit the Governmental Advocacy section of this Website for regular updates.
For Further Information about the profession, please explore our website, where you will find information on minimum standards and competencies for practice, distance and on-line education and training opportunities, publications and instructional materials, and links to the credentialing bodies.

Captain Barkey's Murderer Kills Himself During Standoff With U.S. Marshals in Miami
Courtesy of the NYPD |
Joseph Kernizan, Haitian music promoter and alleged murderer. |
The alleged murderer, according to New York City police: Joseph Kernizan, a Haitian music promoter and Bennett's ex.
Pursued from NYC to South Florida by the U.S. Marshals, the 42-year-old suspect was eventually trapped inside a two-story apartment building, located near the corner of NW 157th Street and Second Avenue in North Miami.
The cops worried that Kernizan was about to skip the country and head for Haiti. But instead, he chose to kill himself.
The victims: Barkey and Bennett. |
Over the course of the last few years, a messy three-sided situation had apparently developed between Barkey, Bennett, and Kernizan, the father of two of her three kids.
In 2010, the dancehall deejay wrote a track, "Nah Left Joe," allegedly about this doomed romantic drama. And the promoter had been slapped with a restraining order for stalking Bennett, addding to his already loaded record of assault, forgery, criminal possession of a weapon, and robbery.
Then on October 13 at approximately 3:14 p.m., Kernizan pumped multiple rounds into Barkey before chasing Bennett behind the Bronx motel and killing her as she screamed, "Please no! Don't do it!"
"I heard [her] plead for [her] life and then heard gunshots," witness Keyshia Barrett told the New York Post. "She was begging."

If people were 100% honest, lots of them would say, "I'm looking for a great spot to hunt with lots of bucks. I'll never contact you again, even to say thank you if I get one."
Printable View
I feel that's rude and that the person forthcoming with info should at least be mentioned as a consultant in the e-article.
For instance, if I go to Nevada now and shoot something next to some rocks and sage I will mention hunting consultant IKIC.
All I ask in return is you mention me if you happen to come to TX and shoot anything between the Rio Grande & Red River.
I did quite a bit of hunting out there while I was in school in San Antonio. Them animals have to love licking rocks to survive out that way.
Perhaps a poor choice of words if you are specifically pointing at mine. I tried to illustrate that i was looking for general comments on difficulty level, access problems, etc. for that time of year without making a laundry list of questions. This is the first time out of state for me, and I was trying to eliminate an 8hr+++ blunder because I don't know anything about the area. I was dying laughing going through this, and it just got worse when I realized I had made the "wall of shame". The only thing that makes me feel a little better is the first time I heard the term was on an Eastman Hunting Show.
Have you ever noticed that 99% of the BS "malarky" terms in hunting come from the south?

So we're really busy here at Escape, which is why I've been playing around on the internet, making a cartoon of myself… all in the name of research of course.
On an ever so fractionally more serious note though, internet users are inundated with 'cartoon yourself' pop ups on a daily basis. But who would've known there were so many sites that offer such a service?
I thought I'd tame these consequentially fruitless curiosities and filter out the best of the bunch, reading through the numerous 'top ten cartoon yourself' lists (I know, who even compiles these things?) to see what prevails as the most useful tool, for creating your avatar.
After a while perusing, I opted to 'Mangatar' myself. It was quick (my main prerequisite for such a task) and there were plenty of options, enabling me to create a character that bears some faint similarities to myself. See above!
Other sites that I attempted to use included 'SP Studio', on which you can create yourself as a South Park character, great idea right? Although I could never really shake the thought that a primary school child could perform such a task with a piece of paper and a box of crayons, in significantly less a time.
Others include ToonDoo and Heromachine, which not only allow you to create yourself as a character, but also allow you to insert yourself into various cartoon strips. All well and good, but the sense of emptiness soon arises when your debit card is required to advance your cartoon self into more desirable realms.
Not a chance mate.
All of the alternatives, I concluded, were very much the same. Ultimately the process takes a lot longer than first advertised, and if you're really into the whole 'cartoon yourself' scene, it's going to cost you some money to achieve an accurate depiction. After all you wouldn't want to be misrepresented in a world that doesn't really exist…

WCN quicklink >> Tour of Elk Grove Bank of America Criterium Tour de Toona Diary Philly Week 1 Philly Week 2 The Aarons Team Diary 2006 |
Tour de Toona Diary A successful week for Aarons All images copyright Aarons Cycling Team, 2006© This
past week the Aaron's Pro Women's Cycling Team spent an entire 7 days
racing in the hills in and around Altoona, PA.
This race is one of the toughest if not the toughest multi-day race
for women on a national and international level.
The races each day are longer than any other race all year long, with
more climbing and the race lasts day seven days.
To top things off, the temperatures soared into the high 90's, with
very high humidity, and the women raced in the mid afternoon when all of the
torrential downpours seemed to occur. This
race tests the individual's capability but on top of that it tests the
team and their capacity for sustained and repeated efforts.
Bottom line, this race has the ability to make even the most tolerant
and mild mannered person become irritable!
Now here comes what was so impressive about the Aaron's
Women…none of this was able to affect them.
Sure, they were tired and worn out and would have loved to see a flat
criterium, but there was never a day where laughter wasn't present as well
as an overall positive attitude. Every
single day each and every one of the team members was willing to lay it on
the line for the other and they worked perfectly together making sure that
plans could be executed to the best of everyone's ability. So
how'd the week go? Well things were off to a rocky start as Shannon's flight was cancelled, Jessie (the Soigneur for the race) had her flight delayed and was stuck at the airport and Oscar (the Mechanic for the race) had to make two roundtrip drives at 2-1/2 hours each to the airport. Once everyone was at the housing the team came together immediately. Rebecca Larson, who rode for the team in Nature Valley was already becoming family and guest rider and Mountain Biker Extraordinaire, Sue Haywood, fit right in immediately. Stage 1-Time Trial (TT)-3 miles in Altoona, PA The Time trial went fairly well for the team with the exception of Catherine Powers crashing in the first turn on her run and giving herself a few scrapes to start the race off with. Everyone else on the team finished within 30 seconds of the winner. Stage
2 Johnstown Circuit Race-3 laps for a total of 63 miles This race winds it's way in and out of Johnstown with a finishing section that worked well for teams that had depth and numbers in terms of riders to be able to form a long lead out. The team lost radio communication with each other and were not able to hear any instructions from Jeremy. The final stretch had Mackenzie on Shannon's wheel allowing Mackenzie to come in for an 11th. Stage
3 Johnstown to Altoona Point to Point 96 miles This was the first of the BIG days. There are 2 days where the race is near 100 miles and goes over the Blue Knob Mountain. This was the first of them. The major climb didn't come until roughly 70 miles into the race. On this climb Kristin Armstrong of Team Lipton out in a tremendous effort and went over the top of the climb by herself wit the rest of the field broken apart. Rebecca powered herself over the top in great position in the first main group which was an extremely select group of riders including all of the best climbers in the country. Following Blue Knob there were a number of smaller hills to test what was left in the legs of everyone. The group was made up of roughly 20 women and when they came across the finish Rebecca sprinted in for 5th out of her group and 6th on the stage. Stage
4-Holidaysburg Circuit Race-3 laps for a total of 60 miles This day was made up of 3 laps on a very tough and hilly circuit that had two major sections; one had a sharp left turn with a very short and steep climb and the other also had a sharp left turn with a steep but slightly longer drag to the top that had the sprint line for the mountain competition. This second climb was followed by a very twist, fast descent and several turns as well as a railroad crossing and then the finish line. Hence the final steep pitch was a key component to the finish. This stage was the first stage that the women were treated to incredibly heavy rains. When the first downpours came Rebecca was involved in a crash that took many women down but Rebecca bounced back so quickly that by the time Oscar and Jeremy had run up to check on her she was already back in the race! As the last lap approached Mackenzie moved to the front for position on the final climb with Rebecca close behind. (Mackenzie admitted later to using Oscar's secret motivational chant from the movie "Cool Runnings" to get her over the top…"Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme…..") Mackenzie and Rebecca crested the top of the climb in the top 10 as the two of them put their descending skills to the test Mack brought it back into town with a strong drive up the last finishing stretch to take 4th place with Rebecca right on her wheel for 5th! Another truly great finish!
5-Martinsburg Circuit Race-4 laps for a total of 78 miles Once again the women were greeted with incredibly heavy rains. The race was such that first place had a very solid stronghold on the race with almost 3 minutes to spare but the next 20 women were separated by just a minute. This meant that any women that were in the top 20 would be watched very carefully as a few seconds difference could mean several spots in the overall standings. For this reason there were select women that the different members of the Aaron's team would look to escape the field with. About half way through the race a group formed with what looked to be a great combination for the team. There was one person from each of the major teams represented including Aaron's rider Rebecca. Colavita and Advil were the only major teams who had missed the break. This was a perfect combination as the power in the group was truly greater than what was left to chase it down. Well all looked great for a lap as the group gained a minute gap on the rest of the field. At this point Team Lipton decided that they didn't like it and stopped working in the group and actually contributed to the chase. The group was then brought back and all was together again until a small group of riders, all of whom were very far down in the overall rolled off the front of the race. Again the radios had given out due to the weather and the team had just lost communication with Jeremy. As Jeremy was asking the team to get a rider other than Rebecca in the break they were asking if that's what needed to be done. (Note-Yes the team purchased new radios for the next day!) As the main field decided the group was not a threat to the oerall they rolled off the front and quickly gained a lead of over a minute as the main pack took a deep breath before the finish. This finish was made up of 6 corners in under 1 mile and resembled a criterium finish. With 6 riders off the front the race was for 6th place. Well the Aaron's women wanted to make sure they put their mark on the race without being in the break. Rebecca attacked going into the first of the 6 corners and Mackenzie got on her wheel. Mack came around Rebecca as Rebecca got right back on her wheel. The two of them came in strong for a 1-2 in the field sprint and 7th and 8th for the stage. Stage
6 Blair County Road Race 93 miles This was the second BIG DAY and this made the first day look easy! The climbing came early on at 12 miles in with the first of the decent sized climbs (~1 mile) followed by continuous rolling climbs that really hit at 40 miles in and then continued for the next 12 miles with the last 4 miles ascending Blue Knob from a different direction that added a number of steep pitches. The rest of the race had 2 more major climbs. Again the team work was tremendous as on the Blue Knob climb Sue had found her legs and was climbing with a group just at the tail end of the elite climbing group. Rebecca had fallen just 100 yards off of Sue and was turning herself inside out to keep them in sight. At the top of the climb Sue waited for Rebecca and they crested together with Sue using her world class descending skills they came right up to the main select group of 20 or so riders. By the finish there were 5 riders still off the front and Rebecca sprinted for 4th in her group to take 9th for the stage.
Stage 7 Altoona-Criterium 30 Laps The final day had arrived and the Aaron's Women were prepared to leave a lasting impression. Team Lipton had wrapped up the overall competition and was deterined to keep the race as fast as possible….and they did! Time bonuses were available in the race and as tere were a number of positions within seconds of one another these time bonuses were precious. Rebecca had the opportunity to move up in the overall with some of these and that was the goal. The overall goal was stage win first and time bonuses second. In a race this fast you have to be careful not to go so hard for time bonuses that you end up blowing yourself out of the race! This race was incredibly comfortable for Sue as it closely resembles her Short Track competition and as such she was able to sit at the front the whole day. Rebecca was able to win one of the time bonuses towards the later part of the race. As the laps wound down the team got in formation with Catherine bringing Rebecca and Mackenzie over the top of the hill on the backside coming into the final 6 corners before the finish. Over the top Mackenzie took over and with several corners to go Rebecca attacked getting a gap on the field and almost holding it to the finish. Down the final stretch Brenda Lyons just nipped Rebecca with Tina Pic and Mackenzie following with Sue not far behind. So the team certainly did finish off strong with 3 riders in the top 10 and one on the podium! The entire week saw Rebecca finish in 11th just seconds out of the top 10.

This is a cake I made for Alexander's
4th birthday, 30 september last. He wanted an airplane, but the only thing
I could find at the internet was a jetfighter. And he wanted a
passenger-plane, so I figured something out myself. It turned out rather
easy, but the final result wasn't quite what mommy had in mind. On the
other hand, Alexander didn't care that much, he liked it very much. I made 2 rectengular cakes (1 cut in half would do too, of course). From the first I cut off all edges and rounded the tops plane-like. From the second one I cut of the entire top, so it became a smooth flat cake and cut it diagonally for two wings. Thank you again for sharing Ilona (from Holland)! |

Featured Article
By Jeff Cohen
Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz, who has been a front runner in the race for governor, changed course Wednesday and announced her intention to run for attorney general. WNPR's Jeff Cohen reports.
With recent decisions by U S Senator Christopher Dodd, Governor Jodi Rell, and Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to leave their elected seats, Bysiewicz sees her chance. "It is my intention to continue to serve and advocate for the people of Connecticut as your next attorney general."
Bysiewicz – the daughter of a lawyer and a potato farmer– told supporters at Middletown's city hall Wednesday that she was a born advocate, dropping Blumenthal's name several times over the course of her thirty minute press conference. Then, she answered the big question before reporters had a chance to ask it.
"'Susan, we thought you were exploring a run for governor.' Indeed I was, until things changed a week ago."
Bysiewicz says Blumenthal's decision to run for Dodd's seat created an opportunity for her to better serve the state. She also had some concerns about the state of Connecticut's public financing system, as she looked to enter a governor's race with deep-pocketed candidates. But, she also says her decision had nothing to do with the prospect of dealing with a troubled state budget as governor.
"My husband is fond of saying that there was political constipation in Connecticut for quite some time. Unbelievably, these two opportunities presented themselves at the same time."
George Jepsen says its Bysiewicz's opportunism that bothers him. Jepsen, former state senate majority leader and former state party chairman, is also running as a Democrat for attorney general. He says Bysiewicz has made it known that she is interested in a United States senate seat and fears her campaigning could get in the way of her service. If elected, Jepsen pledged to serve a full term – a pledge Bysiewicz wouldn't match.
"The people of Connecticut will be choosing between somebody who is clearly qualified and 100 percent committed, and somebody who has significantly lesser qualifications and would be, in effect, a part-time attorney general."
Both candidates say they expect to file their formal paperwork with the state shortly.
For WNPR, I'm Jeff Cohen.

Names That Have Bad Associations
Don't ask why, but for characters I want old names with sometimes a bad history; I'm trying to turn the negative image around. Not too negative, though: I'm not doing Cain or Romulus since they're both murderers, and Lilith is a demon queen or whatever so that's out. Anyway, help would be appreciated.

Desdemona maybe. It doesn't have a bad history as such but she was a character from one of Shakespeare's plays and apparently she had quite a tragic death,and it doesn't really get used that much (it was the name of one of the sims 2 characters in Veronaville though).

Desdemona seems cool. I'm looking also for names with an old history that are underrated, so your reply was perfect, actually.

Ophelia is such a beautiful name but in Hamlet (Shakespeare) she is insane and dies and it's generally associated with tragedy and insanity and it would be awesome for someone to give it a good connotation

Lots of Biblical names would work as there are lots of evil characters mentioned!
- Jael: killed a man by sticking a tent peg through his skull
- Salome: asked her step-father Herod to give her John the Baptist's head on a plate
- Herod: see above. Oh and he also married his brother's wife, which isn't really evil but doesn't do him any favours either
- Jehoram: killed and dismembered his 6 brothers in order to become king
- Abimelech: slaughtered 70 men from his tribe
- Jezebel: serial adulteress rumoured to sacrifice babies
- Delilah: seduced Samson then sold the secret of his strength to his enemiesNot pregnant or TTC, just collecting names for the future

A number of tools have been stolen from a garage in Sutton.
The burglary took place at a property in Old Yarmouth Road sometime between noon on Thursday, February 13, and 9am on Monday, March 31.
An unknown number of people entered the back garden, broke into a garage and stole various tools including a Harley Davidson tool kit, a Halfords bicycle tool kit, an orange Black and Decker drill and charger, a green Bosch drill kit, numerous spanners, screwdrivers and socket sets.
Police officers would like to hear from anyone who may have spotted any suspicious behaviour in the area or have been offered such items for sale in unusual circumstances.
• Witnesses are asked to contact PC Nicola Jefferies at Norfolk Constabulary on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Considering some of the unsavoury characters knocking about in this area, this crime should be more accurately described as Kidnapping.

You do not need to change those scripts, you need to read them and learn how they work.

Cloud chambers let you see paths left by ionizing radioactive particles. Traces appear as the particles ionize super-cooled alcohol vapor - causing it to precipitate.
Most cloud chambers require messy / inconvenient dry ice or other external cooling. They also need extended periods of time to reach operating temperature.
The Nothing Labs Electronic Cloud Chamber uses a thermoelectric ("Peltier") / air cooling system to quickly chill its surface plate to -30 Fahrenheit without dry ice.
As far as I can tell - this is the first cloud chamber design that uses electronic / peltier cooling which doesn't need external secondary cooling (like cold water).
I came up with this cloud chamber in early 2010 - and promptly published most of my findings online.
So - if your idea of a fun weekend involves thermal paste and heatsinks - check out the Instructable.
Otherwise - I'll build you a really nice looking one for a small fee.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsy girls' soccer team honored its seniors in a ceremony prior to Tuesday night's game against Redbank Valley, and despite strong performances from many of the seniors, Redbank scored the only goal of the evening to win 1-0.
After the ceremony, the Lady Chucks seemed pumped up and ready to play, but it was Redbank that controlled the time of possession early and managed the first scoring opportunities.
Redbank's first scoring chance came in just the second minute, but Punxsy keeper Aly Dickey intercepted a cross to thwart the threat.
The Punxsy boys' golf team played in the PIAA Regional Tournament Tuesday afternoon and placed fourth of six teams. The tournament was the final one for Punxsy this year, as only the top two from regionals advanced to states. Punxsy head coach Josh Conrad said that although it would have been nice to play better than they did, he was proud of his players. "I'm definitely proud of them," he said.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The SS.C.D. elementary girls' basketball program concluded a successful week — during which it went 6-0 — Friday evening in Punxsutawney by defeating Indiana's fifth- and sixth-grade teams to earn a pair of wins.
In a low-scoring fifth-grade contest, SS.C.D. held Indiana to just two points and managed to score 10 to earn a 10-2 victory.
Cassidy Reed led the way for SS.C.D. with four points, five steals and five rebounds in an all-around effort.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — A recent rash of burglaries continued in Punxsutawney when sometime late-night Monday or during the early morning hours Tuesday, someone entered and caused damage inside Punxy Phil's Family Restaurant, 116 Indiana St.
According to police, unknown actor(s) forcibly entered the restaurant, and once inside, attempted to remove items and caused damage to property. Punxsutawney Borough Police Chief Tom Fedigan said local residents have several options in attempting to prevent a burglary from happening at their home or business.
BROOKVILLE — A new building, a new start. And a time to dream big. Jefferson County's own child advocacy center (CAC), Western PA CARES for Kids, has a good reason to celebrate.
Sunday, the center opened the doors to its new facility and welcomed about 100 people to take part in the ceremony.
"It's a dream come true," Jefferson County District Attorney and Western PA CARES for Kids Board President Jeff Burkett said. "We've been dreaming about this basically since 2004. The new facility really gives us the ability to dream big."
Roy E. Elbel, 94, Rockford, Ill., died Saturday, Sept. 10, 2011, at Willows Health Center in Rockford.

He was a 1941 graduate of Penn State University.
Mr. Elbel was a mechanical engineer and retired from Sundstrand Aviation in 1984.
He was a member of the Christ United Methodist Church and the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Surviving relatives include a sister, Ruth J. Willert of Glendora, Calif.; and several nieces and nephews.
Betty Jean McHenry, 88, Brookville, died Monday, Oct. 17, 2011, at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital, Pittsburgh.
She was born Oct. 31, 1922, in Punxsutawney, a daughter of the late Edward and Effie (Hoop) Holben.
March 1, 1947, she married Robert R. Mchenry, who preceded her in death Jan. 11, 2000.

I recently engaged Jeremy of Jezweb to design and develop a new website for my business, Rubix Realty. I new the webpage needed updating but it kept coming back to money. I looked into creating a "free" website but then the issue was time. So, I contacted Jeremy and told him my budget. We had a discussion about what I wanted and I am very pleased to say I am pleased with the end result! I could not have created for "free" what Jeremy has, and certainly not in the timely fashion that he has. Thank you very much for your help Jeremy. I will definitely contact you again when I need the page revised or things added.
Patrick Mears – Rubix Realty

Thanks very much for delivering our new website within a tight timeframe. Thanks also for being patient and accommodating with our brief and requests! We have received a number of compliments about the site since going live just over a week ago. I am really enjoying playing around and getting to know WordPress too. So much easier than the complicated and temperamental content management systems I have used in the past. Now I actually look forward to logging in to update content, rather than dreading it! Also good to know that Jezweb is there for support for all the updates I can't do. Really appreciate your help.
