Customer Reviews
Love this game!
In the process of trying to develop my own endless runner game, this was one of a multitude of others I downloaded for inspiration. This game immediately jumped out at me with its fun simple style, entertaining gameplay and simple controls! It only took a couple of play throughs before I was getting 4 and 5 star ratings on the songs. However, I was really interested to try out my own music. That is where the real fun began! I tried out stuff from Kiss from a Rose to Heavy Metal and Reflective! The game took it and made the music I love into a game that was even more enjoyable! I love this app and can't wait to keep trying out more songs! The only thing I think I would love to see is the option to delete a song I've added after I've played through? I haven't found a way to delete it unless right after you upload it.
Need to fix the Challenge thing.
I absolutely LOVE this game! Except there are a few things that NEED to be improved:
1. The cost of upgrades & outfits & characters.
- Why is every boost upgrade 5,000? Shouldn't they cost 500 and then work there way up?
-10,000 for outfits but it cost 20 or more backstage passes for the characters? If anything, I should earn backstage passes Every time I complete a FULL song.
2. The Challenge thing.
-When I go to friends I can see who's playing and what they scored on each song they play, but I cannot challenge them to a single song. I realized that doing it from the Game Center doesn't really help either, they just get my total score. This needs to be fixed because there is a mission that requires you to challenge a friend and I had to skip it because the challenge thingy-ma-jig doesn't work exactly. I spent some well-earned records that could've went on some upgrades.
EDIT: The magnet doesn't attract the records!
The song slots should be unlimited or if not, then the prices shouldn't raise! We should only spend 1 backstage pass for 1 slot instead of 2 for 1.
We should earn more music from each mission we pass! Like from random bands like Count Zero - My Mockingbird! That song is SOO addictive! 🎵🎶❤😁
Not bad👏👏
This game came up on feature points, and I downloaded it for the points. But when I was playing it, it was actually good! I'm a really big music person so I'm in love with the fact of being able to use your own music from your library to play with. Just one suggestion, I understand this games graphics are supposed to look cartoon-ish and kid friendly, but I think you should smoothen it out.. There are many sharp edged features (including the main characters ADAMS APPLE). Clothing take abrupt stops that makes it look completely straight and the objects that are supposed to be round have edges (his earrings). The cartoon graphics I enjoy is like Subway Surfers otherwise it's just my opinion. It's not too bad though👏

According to the BBC, Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher (left) has suggested that violent video games may play a role in Britain's wave of knife crimes.
Speaking at awards ceremony in London, Gallagher said:
[It's a] pity scumbags are taking over our streets. In my day, status was trying to be somebody, do you know what I mean, not trying to kill somebody?
I was up in Liverpool for a week a couple of weeks ago and even on the news there [knife crime is] every single night. I don't even know what [Conservative Leader David] Cameron or [Prime Minister] Gordon Brown are going to do about it…
People say it's through violent video games and I guess that's got something to do with it. If kids are sitting up all night smoking super skunk [cannabis] and they come so desensitised to crime because they're playing these video games, it's really, really scary.

Comments about Garmin Approach S6 Golf GPS Watch:
The battery life was not what they said it would be. Touch screen much too sensitive, make a shot and have to go find the screen that you were at when you started. I have several Garmin products and this one is not up to the quality I except from this company.
Comments about Garmin Approach S6 Golf GPS Watch:
There is a lot to learn about using this. Great for courses with blind shots. (Thanks Jack)
I was skeptical about wearing this during the round but it is comfortable and light.
I would have given 5 stars but it is difficult to master all of the apps.

Box office is in a separate building just across the driveway from the north side of the venue. Nice if someone in your party can drop you off there. Circus has a 1 hour pre-show, so it's worth it to get there early.

Putting this here because I can't seem to put it in the devID box. I love meeting people from different countries. Just don't count on me being able to speak your language.
Welcome to my humble profile. I'm just a normal guy who draws for fun, not fame or fortune. As you can see, I draw fan art, mostly Nintendo-related, and even made up a few OCs.
I'm also dabbling in photography. I wouldn't call myself an actual photographer because that would imply that I know what I'm doing. I'm just a man with a camera who takes pictures of things he feels would make a good photo.
I think of myself as an Internet gentleman, always striving to be polite, honest, and kind, but if you come in here acting like a little bitch, I will be glad to accommodate you.
I think that about sums it up. Stay devious, my friends.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

resourceful redis engine
A Redis engine for resourceful, a model framework from the flatiron project.
resourceful-redis is based on all the other resourceful engines including the standard couchdb and memory engines. Also inspired by the following projects:
resourceful-redis is just getting started. I wouldn't use it in production yet but try it out and if you find bugs create an issue so we can get it to a production ready state soon.
var redisConnection = rediscreateClient; // an external redis connection var resourceful = require'../lib/resourceful-redis'; var Creature = resourcefuldefine'creature' // Specify redis engine and connection thisuse"redis" // You can pass in a connection object which is recommened or // a uri string to create a connection per model connection: redisConnection // Pass in a redis connection // uri: "redis://DB:firstname.lastname@example.com:6379", // Set connection string here, auth is optional namespace: "<KEY TO USE AS NAMESPACE>" // Each model will have a different namespace to use as a key ; // Specify some properties thisstring'diet'; thisbool'vertebrate'; thisarray'belly'; thistimestamps; ; thisbellypushfood; ;
Resourceful-redis uses the engines-test.js test suite from the resourceful project in order to try and ensure API compatibility. It's edited to use mocha instead of Vows but should be similar.
Currently resourceful-redis should support all of the CRUD methods that resourceful defines as well as simple find's and filters. In the future I would like to implement relationship modeling and hooks for redis pub/sub functionality.
$ [sudo] npm install resourceful-redis
All tests are written with mocha and should be run with npm:
$ npm test

|This photo was taken by an employee inside Medical Herb Providers dispensary in Spokane, Washington during the raid
Medical Herb Providers (MHP), Essence of Mother Earth and Alternative MMD were all raided separately, reports Curtis Cartier at the Seattle Weekly.
According to Jessica Nuna of MHP, by the time law enforcement left that shop, they had taken about 32 cannabis plants, $1,400 in cash, several ounces of dried marijuana flowers and several laptop computers, cellphones and other electronic devices.
"They were pretty nice, until I started calling the press," Nuna told the Weekly.
|Photo: Jessica Nuna
|Member of the Spokane Police Department taking part in the raid of MHP on Wednesday
The agents who raided MHP left several edible cannabis products and other items behind, but failed to leave a receipt itemizing everything they took, including the money they seized, according to Nuna.
Nobody was arrested, but the shop's owner, Jerry Laberdee, was questioned for some time, she said.
Nuna promised that the MHP dispensary is "not done" and that rallies and a possible reopening are already in the works.
The DEA and Spokane Police Department both referred media to Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Rice, who works directly under U.S. Attorney Michael Ormsby, who has been promising such raids since early last month.
Rice, however, would only confirm that the raids had occurred. "It's one of several," he said referring to the MHP search warrant. "I can't say any more than that because the operatings are ongoing," Rice said, reports Thomas Clouse at the Spokane Spokesman-Review.
Federal agents raided seven Spokane dispensaries on April 29, but none of those cases has yet resulted in any charges.
|Photo: Gonzaga University
|Spokane Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick says the department doesn't have the resources to go after property crime anymore. They don't have any problem raiding dispensaries where sick people get their medicine, though.
Ormsby's office in April sent dispensary operators notices advising them to shut down or risk "federal enforcement action." Many of the estimated 40 dispensaries in Spokane reportedly complied -- but not all of them.
Washington voters overwhelmingly approved the medicinal use of cannabis in 1998, but the ballot measure didn't define how patients could legally obtain marijuana.
The state law allows for dispensaries under its "caretaker" provision, according to advocates, but a Spokane County Superior Court jury rejected that argument last month in the first drug-trafficking trial of a dispensary owner in Washington state.
Additionally, federal prosecutors note that while state law allows for the medicinal use of marijuana, federal law still considers all cannabis possession illegal.
"This is just the beginning of the raids," said activist Steve Sarich of Seattle-based patient advocacy group CannaCare. "Our Legislature has to start sticking up for us. The voters voted for this. They are treating marijuana as a law enforcement issue. It's not. It's a medical issue."
Sarich's words were prophetic. As of about 2 p.m. Thursday afternoon, DEA and police were getting ready to stage another raid, gathering in the McDonald's at Market and Garland in Spokane.
As pointed out by the Seattle Weekly's Curtis Cartier, nothing better illustrates the tragic misuse of public resources more than an ironic posting on the City of Spokane website, made just 90 minutes after SPD officers helped raid at least three dispensaries in town:
"We are at a critical point that requires us to severely limit property crime investigations and make additional choices about where to place resources," [Spokane Police] Chief [Anne] Kirkpatrick said in a written statement. "We will always respond to 911 emergency response calls, but other investigations will be curtailed."
So there you have it. The Spokane Police Department doesn't have enough money or time to investigate property crimes, but if you're providing sick people with medical marijuana? They have plenty of time to come see you.

The Columbia River Crossing is still rearing its ugly head and it seems they will stop at nothing for this project, including:
The Rose Quarter traffic blockage remains unfixed, and Oregon used commuter discomfort to manipulate CRC project approval.
$86 million taxpayer dollars promised to three companies because the bridge is too short. Insufficient bridge height will impact river commerce, jobs, and homeland security for the next 100 years.
More than $85 million in pork is attached to the project.
Replacing a six-lane bridge with another six-lane bridge, without significant traffic-flow improvement, is an obvious attempt to force people onto light rail.
Exaggerated existing bridge safety. USA Today reported 10 states with worse bridge issues than Washington and Oregon.
$3.8 billion? $2.4 billion? Try more than $10 billion in reality, including interest and other factors, while ignoring alternative proposals that would have produced better traffic flow (including light rail), at less than half the cost.
Clark County commuters will pay thousands in tolls per year.
Politicians love bragging about bringing big dollars home but seem far less concerned with how those dollars are wasted. With the infrastructure needs in America, the CRC is a shamefully wasteful proposal and still deserves rejection.

Keith Olbermann of MSNBC recently editorialized that the Tea Party movement was devoid of "people of color." The rallies I have seen on my local news show a good mix of what I think is meant by the term "people of color", including blacks, hispanics, Pacific islanders and asians. But I do live in the most diverse state in the nation, and it would be hard to find any meeting of "pure white" people in this state.
Nationwide, the Tea Party movement has attracted minorities. And I suspect the percentage of "people of color" in the movement matches the percentage of "people of color" who are libertarians or conservatives in the country. I suspect Keith is informed by his own network's video feeds, which may not feature anti-big-government minorities because they aren't newsworthy; it doesn't feed into the stereotype of white southern racists who want a return to Jim Crow laws. Or perhaps he just isn't paying attention:
Randy Haddock provides his own carefully edited video response to Olbermann:

We have two Solaris servers, let's call them Alice and Bob.
We also have a Solaris NFS server used by both of them, call it Charlie.
Alice writes to a text logfile on the NFS server, which is then read by Bob, who acts on events in that logfile.
The issue we're having is that there appears to be some delay in Bob seeing updates to the file from Alice.
For testing, I ran on Alice:
while [ 0 ]; do echo `date` | tee -a dummy_logfile; sleep 1; done
This just writes out the output from
date every second to a textfile, which is stored on the NFS server.
On Bob, I do:
tail -f dummy_logfile
I've noticed that there appears to be a delay of ~ 3 seconds for Bob seeing events. The tail -f will echo a logline, then pauses for around 3 seconds, then it spits out 3 seconds worth of log lines, then another 3 seconds of nothing, then outputs another set etc.
However, if on Bob I do:
while [ 0 ]; do cat dummy_logfile ; sleep 1; done
It repeats each line in dummy_logfile near instantaneously.
So it looks like
tail -f reading the NFS share is delayed, but cat reading over the NFS share is not. I was under the impression that
tail -f was near-instant.
Is there anything in the interaction of NFS, buffers, cache, etc. that might explain this behaviour? Does each cat somehow force an update or something?
Also, doing a
tail -f on Alice (the server generating the dummy_logfile) seems to be near-instant, so it doesn't appear to be some issue with
tail -f itself.
Cheers, Victor

Bring Up the Bodies (Compact Disc)
The sequel to Hilary Mantel's 2009 Man Booker Prize winner and "New York Times" bestseller, "Wolf Hall" delves into the heart of Tudor history with the downfall of Anne Boleyn
Though he battled for seven years to marry her, Henry is disenchanted with Anne Boleyn. She has failed to give him a son and her sharp intelligence and audacious will alienate his old friends and the noble families of England. When the discarded Katherine dies in exile from the court, Anne stands starkly exposed, the focus of gossip and malice.
At a word from Henry, Thomas Cromwell is ready to bring her down. Over three terrifying weeks, Anne is ensnared in a web of conspiracy, while the demure Jane Seymour stands waiting her turn for the poisoned wedding ring. But Anne and her powerful family will not yield without a ferocious struggle. Hilary Mantel's "Bring Up the Bodies" follows the dramatic trial of the queen and her suitors for adultery and treason. To defeat the Boleyns, Cromwell must ally with his natural enemies, the papist aristocracy. What price will he pay for Anne's head?
"Bring Up the Bodies "is the winner of the 2012 Man Booker Prize
"Bring Up the Bodies" is one of "Publishers Weekly"'s Top 10 Best Books of 2012 and one of "The Washington Post"'s 10 Best Books of 2012.
About the Author
Hilary Mantel is the two-time winner of the Man Booker Prize for her best-selling novels, "Wolf Hall", and its sequel, "Bring Up the Bodies" an unprecedented achievement. The Royal Shakespeare Company recently adapted "Wolf Hall" and "Bring Up the Bodies" for the stage to colossal critical acclaim and a BBC/Masterpiece six-part adaption of the novels will broadcast in 2015.
The author of fourteen books, she is currently at work on the third installment of the Thomas Cromwell Trilogy.
Simon Vance is an award-winning actor and an AudioFile Golden Voice with over forty Earphones Awards. He has won thirteen prestigious Audie Awards and was Booklist's very first Voice of Choice in 2008. He has narrated more than eight hundred audiobooks over almost thirty years, beginning when he was a radio newsreader for the BBC in London.
Praise For…
"This second volume in Hilary Mantel's planned trilogy about Thomas Cromwell, right-hand man to Henry VIII of England, is a perfect marriage of the written and spoken word…Simon Vance's silken tones and expert pacing keep us engaged throughout…Vance enhances the story with instructive vocal portraits of key players and a listenable tempo that keeps us clear and entranced until the end." – AudioFile Magazine, winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award
Can one improve Hilary Mantel's tale of Tudor intrigue, Bring Up the Bodies, which has racked up both sales and awards? Well, yes, if you add Simon Vance's acclaimed voice. In an Audie-nominated performance, Vance doesn't simply narrate the Man Booker winner – he seems to inhabit the characters." – USA Today, four out of four stars
"If you listened to Simon Slater's riveting reading of the Booker Prize-wining 'Wolf Hall,' the 2009 opener in Hilary Mantel's trilogy, the news that the sequel has a different narrator won't be good. Fear not. Simon Vance's narration is every bit as versatile and nuanced as Slater's, his intonation for each character is as uncannily distinctive – a critical requirement with so many characters. Even better, Vance's voice portrayal of the historically maligned Thomas Cromwell, chief adviser to King Henry VII, is almost indistinguishable from Slater's in 'Wolf Hall'" – Newark Star-Ledger
"We all know the story, but hearing it described through Cromwell's eloquent words and inner thoughts on power and ambition, his own included, make it new again, and riveting. Mantel's language is extraordinary – it's as though she's channeled Cromwell from beyond and burrowed into his mind – and Simon Vance's impeccable reading is a perfect match. A wonderful way to celebrate audio month." – BookPage
"Narrator Simon Vance's skillful presentation enhances Mantel's outstanding description and dialogue. His gorgeous sound, tone and accent add to the beauty and horror of the compelling story." – Library Journal, starred review
"Narrator Simon Vance shines in his portrayal of the characters, creating a range of distinct voices – including the increasingly tense Anne Boleyn and the earnest Georgey, Cromwell's mild-mannered young son who is eager to prove himself. Best of all, however, are the measured tones Vance employs for the conniving Cromwell. The narrator captures the soul of this complex character, a man of innate pragmatism and confidence who is also quietly haunted by regrets. Vance also nails the bone-dry wit of the characters. In all, this is an exemplary audiobook." – Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Vance takes commence of the complex story, reading Mantel's complicated prose with assurance…Tensions leading up to Anne Bolyn's execution run high, and Vance relays the emotions with precision and grace, showing that he is attuned to the complicated plot." – Booklist
"I downloaded Hilary Mantel's majestic 'Bring Up the Bodies' and was pleasantly surprised to hear Vance's gentle and authoritative voice once again. It was like running into an old friend and knowing that we were about to have a long and satisfying visit." John Schwartz, The New York Times Book Review

Lawmakers who get the first turn fashioning a state budget this year will hear from North Carolina's education leaders about Gov. Beverly Perdue's spending proposal.
The Senate Appropriations Committee scheduled a meeting Tuesday to listen to University of North Carolina system President Erskine Bowles, community college system President Scott Ralls and two leaders of the public schools.
Bowles has said proposed cuts in Perdue's $21 billion budget released last week could mean several hundred UNC system positions may have to be eliminated. Perdue said she tried to protect education from deep cuts and gave the agencies flexibility in how to make spending reductions.
The Senate will propose and pass its own budget plan before sending it to the House, which will create its own version.

Save money and increase your home's energy efficiency with these simple appliance cleaning tips.
Here's the scoop. Any appliance in your home will guzzle more energy and work less efficiently when it's dirty. Cleaning it will produce energy savings – and in many cases, a better-looking home!
Ready to clean up by, well, cleaning up? Read on for 5 ways to get neater, cheaper, and greener!
1 The fridge
A clean fridge keeps its cool much better than a dirty one. Clean the magnetic gasket (door seals) of your fridge and freezer compartments to ensure a tight seal. A dollar bill placed in the closed door should NOT slide out easily. If it does, have the seal fixed because cold air is escaping from your fridge – which means the unit has to work overtime to cool your food.
If frost develops in your freezer compartment, defrost it. (BTW: frost-free fridges use more energy to operate than manual-defrost models.) Icy buildup makes the compressor work extra hard, leading to greater energy use as well as increased wear and tear on the mechanism. Defrost anytime you see buildup over 5mm thick.
If your fridge model has condenser coils in the back, vacuum them off and wipe them down once a year. Dust buildup prevents them from working efficiently and they'll gobble more electricity.
2 The oven and cooktop
Clean your oven and stovetop so cooking doesn't eat up unnecessary amounts of electricity and gas:
Ovens work best when hot air circulates freely, so remove any old sheets of foil you may have left on the racks to catch drips or what have you. Clean the oven seal to make sure hot air isn't escaping when you bake. Clean your stovetop burners and reflectors. A dirty reflector with a blackened surface absorbs heat, rather than effectively reflecting it back to the cooking pot or pan bottom. A shiny and reflective stovetop is an energy-efficient one.
After cleaning, check your stovetop cooking elements. A worn-out electric coil is an energy sucker, as is a miscalibrated gas flame. Electric elements should heat up quickly, while a gas flame should burn blue, not yellow. Otherwise, replacement or adjustment are needed.

It is freezing today. Thick snow covers our backyard, and in the hazy darkness of the morning I can see sparrows flock to the birdfeeder. I have to get up an hour earlier because of the icy roads.
Change rankles me. It can be the most unusual thing that sets my nights into nightmare drama.
It is that time of year when we begin to plan, personally and institutionally, for the holidays. This is the time when families gather, but also when workplaces bring their people together to thank them for all they've done. It is a time of remembrance and celebration.
Recently, I met a young man from India who has decided not to believe in any God since his country has too many gods, one they pray to for this and another one for that. He loves our country and is glad to have a job, but that's it.
The first real intimation of mortality was when my grandparents died. That was in the 1980s. In 2005, Mom died and, four years later, it was Dad. Then, a couple of months ago, quite unexpectedly, it was my younger sister.
It's hard to say something consoling in the face of death, even when the person who died lived a full life and died in the best of circumstances.
This Sunday marks the start of the new liturgical year and the season of Advent, that time of expectancy and meditation on the coming celebration of the Nativity of Our Lord – a season in which that virtue of hope receives its sublime nourishment, in that respect a season much like that of Easter. Both of them times of serenity and contemplation.
Throughout the years, numerous people tried to lure me down east from Western Canada. It stroked my inflated ego and flattered my false sense of self-importance. Perhaps the most tempting I remember was being offered a job to host a national TV series the CBC was planning in 1990 about issues surrounding disabilities that showcased the lives of Canadians with physical and mental challenges.
One of the lovelier aspects of Catholic culture is the love Catholics have for their priests. Most priests have many stories of how complete strangers have shown special warmth and affection upon seeing the Roman collar. As for one's own portion of the flock, parish priests and chaplains know how eager Catholics are to love their priests.
Two years ago we lost our baby granddaughter. She died in utero from a rare congenital disease. Although much time has passed since Ava's death, autumn remains a bittersweet time.

alright, well i gota few questions on a few subjects, first off, with clipless pedals, how does the shimano PD-M647 stand up to the competition? im looking for a pedal which has clipless and a good platform for those times were i either dont feel like clipping in, or find it to risky to do it, the reviews are leaning towards the good side which is well... good but im always hearing about some plastic part on it which i cant figure out what it is, is the outside, the platform part of it plastic? or what, and how is it when not clipped in, on the M646 there was word about not being able to stand very comfortably in them when not clipped in, and how does it compare with other pedals in the same price range
second off, why are the fronts and backs angled on pedals? like the parts that point to the front and back of the bike, there angeld at a 45 degree angle and i've never been able to figure out why
and then shoes, i've been able to find pedal after pedal, but nearly no shoe what are some good companys that sell some shoes for clipless pedal, and do any of them sell any that have laces? i know the velcros there so it doesnt get in the chain, but i've personally found laces look abit better, no bit deal, just curiosity
then some repair/incase of a emergancy/flat tire pack that i can put on the bike, i got a full suspension so im not really sure as to were to mount it, i got the norco chaos so theres not much space on the frame to put some pack anywhere or maybe some pack you can strap onto your legs or something, who knows lol, cause i've been in plenty of places were something just breaks and i end up pushing the bike all the way back to where ever i started, would be nice for pack that has all the tools inside if you end up loosening a nut or having a flat tire or something that you can fix on the trail
and lastly, i've been thinking of hanging my bike in my garage by regular suspended hooks, but then i came across this cool thing... http://shop.computergames.ro/shop/p/...rge-image.html
anyone ever use this, or something like it?
alright, well i though i had more but i cant recall them so if anyone can answer any of these questions, it would be fantastic
thanks again

Ohio Against the World at The Grammys
Akron's Dan Auerbach cleans up at ceremony, including winning for an album featuring one of Cincy's best
Despite Frank Ocean's deft leg-syncing and Taylor Swift's torture-porn-disguised-as-wholesome-circus, Akron, Ohio's Dan Auerbach and The Black Keys were The Grammys' big story last night, winning five trophies, the most of any artist. While the Keys won the Grammys for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance, Auerbach scored two solo Grammys for his production work, winning the trophy for Producer of the Year (Non-Classical) and also winning one for producing Dr. John's Locked Down, the Blues Album winner. While Grammys for album winners are usually given to the producers, engineers, mastering engineers and artists, hopefully Cincinnati's Brian Olive will also score one for his work on the LP. Auerbach — who has produced albums by both Olive and Cincinnati's Buffalo Killers — enlisted Olive (an original member of Cincinnati's Greenhornes) to work on the Dr. John album. Olive has songwriting credits on every track on Locked Down, and he's also credited with playing guitar, percussion and woodwinds, as well as providing background vocals. (Check out CityBeat's profile of Olive from 2011, about his Auerbach-produced Two of Everything album, here.)Kudos to Mr. Olive! That's him — the handsome feller with big side-burns playing sax (and a little guitar) in this video for the album's "Revolution." Check out all the winners from last night's Grammys here, and click here or here for some extra musings about the show.

Daily MPMFer: Cloud Nothings, Shrub and More
MidPoint Music Festival news and recomendations as the countdown reaches 13 days
MPMF news and musings: Kick-ass longtime MPMF sponsor Dewey's Pizza is giving away a trio of special "Next Level Experience" passes for you and two of your closest friends (or, I suppose, you could give them to people you hate, though that would just be kinda weird). If you win, you'll receive a three-day wristband and one night at the Dewey's Pizza/Grammer's stage in the best seat in the house (which appears to be a couch positioned very close to the stage). For more on Dewey's Next Level Experience contest, click here. And now, with the countdown down to just 13 days, here are our daily MidPoint Music Festival 2012 picks, today featuring all Ohio artists …BIG SHOTCloud Nothings (Cleveland, OH)Punk PopFrom his parents' basement, Dylan Baldi created and released several acclaimed lo-fi recordings as Cloud Nothings before his 2009 EP, Turning On, pinged the critics' radar and scored positive reviews on all the right blogs. Almost immediately, Baldi had to assemble a band to play the gigs that were offered to him, resulting in lots of touring and his slightly shinier 2011 self-titled full-length. This year has seen the release of the even more expansive Attack on Memory and a string of upcoming opening dates for Silversun Pickups. Not a bad three years for a Hardcore obsessed kid from Cleveland.You'll Dig It If You Dig: The idea of Tommy Keene and Kevin Seconds stirring up some Pop and some Punk for a Husker Du tribute. (Brian Baker)Cloud Nothings perform at Midnight on Friday, Sept. 28, at the Cincinnati Club. Here's the official music video for Cloud Nothings' "No Future/No Past." Cloud Nothings - "No Future / No Past" Official Video from Urban Outfitters on Vimeo.SLEEPER PICKShrub (Columbus, OH)Reggae/Hip Hop/RockReggae, Rock and Hip Hop have been brought together numerous times before and often there's a weak link, with artists skimping on at least one of the three ingredients (or lacking the talent to infuse it properly). Six-piece Columbus band Shrub doesn't have that problem — the Reggae jumps from the speaker courtesy of the air-tight groove, while the Rock comes from the band's inherent power (and power chords). Meanwhile, the way the group (which has recorded with Ohio Hip Hop giant Blueprint) uses its Hip Hop skills may be most impressive, showcasing fantastic MC verses and a DJ who doesn't just offer a few "wiki wikis" here and there, instead threading each track with clever samples and scratches.Dig: Sublime, G. Love, Gym Class Heroes drop the Pop, smoke a blunt and indulge their Reggae/Hip Hop fantasies. (Mike Breen)Shrub performs Saturday, Sept. 29, at the Blue Wisp Jazz Club. Here's a clip for Shrub's track "Supergirl."LOCAL LOCK PICKBrian Olive (Cincinnati, OH)Rock/PopAfter honing his skills as an original member of The Greenhornes, then later joining northern Ohio's Soledad Brothers for a spell, Brian Olive struck out on his own to showcase his formidable songwriting skills and his ability to inhabit classic Rock and Soul styles without sounding throwback. After earning international attention for his 2009 debut album, Olive released Two of Everything in 2011, topping himself and distilling his seeming encyclopedic grasp on vintage R&B, Soul, Rock and Psych into a powerful sound brought to life with help from co-producer Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. When not working on other projects (like the latest Dr. John album), Olive and his band of local musicians travel throughout the U.S. (and occasionally Europe) frequently in support of the release. Dig: '60s Pop, Garage Rock, Soul, R&B, Jazz and Blues.

First he told Jeffrey Goldberg that he was wrong when he told Russia to bomb us during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Now he's saying that the entire Cuban model is flawed?
But during the generally lighthearted conversation (we had just spent three hours talking about Iran and the Middle East), I asked him if he believed the Cuban model was still something worth exporting.
"The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore," he said.
This struck me as the mother of all Emily Litella moments. Did the leader of the Revolution just say, in essence, "Never mind"?
I asked Julia to interpret this stunning statement for me. She said, "He wasn't rejecting the ideas of the Revolution. I took it to be an acknowledgment that under 'the Cuban model' the state has much too big a role in the economic life of the country."
What a difference a near death experience makes.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
As of today, Wilmington is back "Under the Dome," as production has begun on the series' second season.
Author Stephen King, whose novel is the basis for the CBS series, marked the occasion yesterday on his Twitter account, tweeting: "The 2nd season of UNDER THE DOME starts production tomorrow. I'm pretty stoked."
King, who serves as an executive producer on the show, is returning to write the season's first episode, as he did with the pilot that kicked off the series.
Filmed over several months last year in locations that included Burgaw and Southport, "Under the Dome" proved a high ratings draw for CBS last summer, prompting the network to announce the show would return this summer with a similar slate of 13 episodes.
Production for those episodes started today, and filming is set to return to Burgaw and Southport, among other locations in and around the Port City.
Related story: 'Under the Dome' picked up for second season
The series stars an ensemble cast, including Dean Norris of "Breaking Bad" fame, and Natalie Martinez, who has also been cast in the pilot for the likewise locally filmed "Secrets & Lies," an ABC pilot that started production last week. (Related story)
Recent additions to the "Under the Dome" cast for season two include Sherry Stringfield, of "ER" fame, 18-year-old newcomer Grace Victoria Cox, "CSI:NY" star Eddie Cahill and "Misfits" star Karla Crome.
Last year, the City of Wilmington marked the end of production for the first season with a declaration of "Dome Day" and presented King with a ceremonial key to the city. The celebrations coincided with a red carpet premiere held at Thalian Hall.

Manila, Philippines – The Manila Regional Trial Court (RTC) has slapped long prison terms to two barangay officials in Tondo for pocketing barangay funds, the Office of the Ombudsman (OMB) announced yesterday.
In a 10-page decision, RTC Presiding Judge Dinnah Aguila-Topacio found Chairman Leo de Guzman and Treasurer Violeta Arendala of Barangay 95, Zone 8 of District 1 of Tondo guilty of falsification and malversation charges.
For the two offenses they were sentenced up to 20 years in jail.
The OMB stated the court found that in September 2001, De Guzman and Arendela malversed the barangay funds amounting to P158,000 and converted the same for their own personal use.
The anti-graft body said the two convicts connived in falsifying a resolution to claim additional wages and reimbursements. It said the two made it appear that the resolution was unanimously approved and signed by all members of the barangay council on April 15, 2001 "when in truth council members never participated, approved or signed the same."

Lovely recipe..thank you! One minor point. Pancetta should be spelled without the "h." As it's written in your recipe the word would be pronounced pan-ke-tta and mean something completely different....."Panca" means "bench." if you add the suffix -etta, it becomes "panchetta" and it means a small bench.

Video: Happy Star Wars Day!
May the fourth, er, the Force be with you.
If you ever needed proof positive that nerds are as funny as they are smart, that line is the reason that May 4 is now celebrated by all the cool kids as Star Was Day.
In a perfect storm of gleeful nerdiness, today also happens to be Free Comic Book Day, which is always the first Saturday in May. As previously reported, Free Comic Book Day is when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE to anyone who comes into their stores.
Appropriately, this year's free offerings include a Star Wars title, along with The Walking Dead, SpongeBob, Sesame Street, Superman, GRIMM, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Smurfs, The Simpsons, Archie, and the launch of a major Marvel Comics' Event called Infinity.
A dozen stores in the Oklahoma City area are participating. To see a list, click here. For more information, go to www.freecomicbookday.com.
You can get plenty of ideas on how to celebrate Star Wars Day at http://maythe4th.starwars.com. But as this hilarious video shows, the Emperor will not be pleased by your apparent lack of respect for his absolute authority:

GPU Computing
GPU computing is something which is fast becoming a very important feature on "video" cards. NVIDIA have a number of useful utilities for CUDA enabled cards which all help to enhance the performance of day to day tasks. On the AMD front we have "Stream" applications which use the GPU to enhance performance. Here we have taken an example of the different technologies at work to find out how the cards benefit us in real world use.
GPU Assisted Media Conversion
In this test we don't see a reduction in time for the encoding task; instead there is another benefit… reduction of CPU use with the PowerColor card offering the greatest benefit.

"Tinerhir or Tineghir" Top 5 Page for this destination Tinerhir by amsterdam_vallon
Tinerhir Travel Guide: 35 reviews and 124 photos
Tineghir, small active and thriving city, is famous for its palm plantation, one of vastest and the more luxuriantes. 40000 inhabitants live on culture there.
There are two oases near Tinerhir. To the north the Todra, which is parallel to the road going to the Todra Gorge, but which must be accessed another road. The views over the oasis valley from the Todra Gorge road are however spectacular, and gives a great impression of the extent of the oasis.
To the east, the Tinerhir oasis lies. It is very much the same as the Todra oasis, but in scenery and architecture. When you arrive in this part of Morocco, at least one of the oases should be on your itinerary, not just the Todra Gorge, which is the main attraction.

Skip to comments.Glenn Beck wore bulletproof vest while speaking at 'Restore Honor' rally at Lincoln Memorial
Posted on 08/31/2010 8:20:24 AM PDT by Nachum
WASHINGTON - Fox News host Glenn Beck wore a bulletproof vest at his weekend rally, where he claimed "many, many miracles" had occurred - including a flyover of geese."I'm absolutely wearing a bulletproof vest," Beck said he told Alveda King, the niece of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., before the "Restore Honor" event at the Lincoln Memorial. He and other speakers risked their lives but "she decided not to wear it," Beck said of Alveda King, and now "she is a marked woman for standing on that step with me."
(Excerpt) Read more at nydailynews.com ...
I thought it looked like he wore one.
He should wear body armor in public. I hope he has bodyguards too.
Considering how he has had the FBI on his TV set because of death threats, it probably was a prudent move on his part.
Did Sarah wear one?
Not to me, but maybe it's just the angle.
Boy, nothing gets by Mr. Sisk(we had a number of postings on this yesterday).
Yep. I would too..
Of course he wore a vest. I'm surprised he didn't wear a suit of armor! Beck AND Palin on the same stage?! Forget about it.
He has security, like you wouldn't believe.
I sure hope and pray that Alveda King is not going to be a target of anyone. I'm sure it stuck in the craw of the liberals that she went to Glenn Beck's rally. But, she's a niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, and an ordained minister herself. So how much can they protest?
But I'm sure the liberals would have loved to have her at Al Sharpton's "me too" rally instead.
My sister and I were there and we both made the comment that he looked thicker in the middle and wondered if he had on a bullet proof vest.
We also wondered about Sarah Palin because she had on a jacket that seemed a touch large for her.
In some of the footage of his speech I noticed when he turned around and the shirt was tight on his back I could make it out.
He does have body guards. They accompanied him onto the stage and remained around him at the rally.
I think he half expected to be "martyred" at the rally, before returning to his Fox show three days later...
Given the propensities of the tolerant, non-judgmental, free speech loving left, I'd wear one too.
Twitter had many accounts of slime calling literally for the assassination of Glenn Beck all day Saturday.
And Glenn said yesterday that both he and Sarah wore armor.
Liberals hate Beck - and in spite of their 'good press' - liberals are the violent ones in our culture. Beck was smart to take this common sense precaution.
"We also wondered about Sarah Palin because she had on a jacket that seemed a touch large for her."
I went to an event recently where she was. I ran into her at the private airport terminal. Just her, Todd, and the kiddos.
I was happy to get to meet her, but I was also shocked at the lack of security.
I guess the security was me. (I am a concealed carry guy.)
One need only watch a few minutes of MSNBC to realize the MOST HATEFUL folks in this country are LIBERALS. The further left they are the more they hate.
One need only watch a few minutes of MSNBC to realize the MOST HATEFUL folks in this country are LIBERALS. The further left they are the more they hate.
"Messiah complex"? "Martyr"?
Yes, it's you.
Beck likely did, indeed, expect to be "martyred" at the rally, as he probably does every time he goes out in public. Beck is under constant threat, he knows it, and he is unwilling to back down.
That's not a "messiah complex," just plain reality.
And wearing a bullet-proof vest is common sense. Even with that, he's not safe.
What have you done for your country lately?
Whether you agree with Beck or not — and I sometimes do and sometimes don't — surely you can respect him for trying?
It's just you.
He's received serious death threats. There is no doubt he is in danger.
He has a wife and kids.
Wouldn't you protect yourself?
Would you like people to read your mind and claim you had a Messiah complex and expected to be martyred?
Glen said that the only reason he wore the vest was because his wife wanted it. He put his trust in God.
The author says Beck is wearing a vest due to "his conspiracy theories" - what an idiot. He gets death threats on a regular basis, I'm sure. Thus the need for 5 guards around him just to shake hands.
LOL! Yep BUMP!
The vest was the first thing I noticed on Saturday. I pointed it out on Facebook at the time.
Don't be a dummy. Beck has been informed several times by the FBI that they are pursuing investigations regarding deaththreats against both him and his family, as well as kidnapping threats against his children.
I don't blame him. I wonder if leftist MSM types will ask Hussein why he doesn't give speeches to large, uncontrolled crowds, why he doesn't appear in true PUBLIC settings or why any room in which he does speak is carefully stacked with his own worshipers??
He's crazy, not stupid.
"One need only watch a few minutes of MSNBC to realize the MOST HATEFUL folks in this country are LIBERALS. The further left they are the more they hate."
Try opening your mouth on facebook and see what happens ;-)
To be fair, there are other nitwits in FR who want to look down their nose at Beck, but here on this thread it seems to be just you.
I could tell he had one on, don't blame him since many whackos out there want him dead.
I suggest you seek professional help.
Please refresh my memory. I know playing the Freud Card comes after playing the Race Card but does it come before playing the Hate Card?
just noticing the times of posts, mine shows 3 minutes ahead of when I actually posted. It's just now 12:03 and yours is at 12:06, wierd
Can't write a straight news piece without getting snarky.
In fact, he IS a potential target and in fact, if you actually LISTENED to what he talks about you'll find there is a lot of political ANALYSIS going on and NO "conspiracy theories".
now there's a 6 minute difference, actual time vs. time shown of my last post...
Playing the Freud Card implies the Hate Card and leads up to the "unconsciously intolerant racist, bigot, homophobe and islamophobe" cards all at once. The Hate Card trumps all, of course.
No - it's me too.
Is it just me or is Beck suffering from something of a Messiah complex?
It's just you.
When I tuned in to watch him I noticed it right off. I was glad to see him practicing caution but thought that it was a pretty light vest - more useful for handgun projectiles than from rifle fire.
No matter - as someone else commented, he probably did it more out of consideration for his wife than out of any fear for his life.
"Beck often describes himself as a potential target in his conspiracy theories."
Nevermind the stream of death threats from the unhinged left...
he's to self depricating for a complex
Couldn't agree with you more. I was hoping Glen would do something to protect himself from the looney left.
I also wish everyone would stop with the "running for President" stuff. For some, their mission is to bring things to light. Glen is doing a fabulous job of that. We need someone to keep our representatives under a microscope and hold them accountable.

Someone made a suggestion to have a place to post good deals that we find, seems like a great idea. So, if you see something out there that you think others would be interested in, post them here.
Can we get a sticky?
The Conti Attack/Force combo (like a F/R specific GP4000S, for those unfamiliar) is priced aggressively at PBK - $81 and change for the pair, plus they have a 10% code going right now.
For those looking for a good value in training/everyday tires, the Michelin Lithion 2 are a $23 each (a little less if you buy more than one set) plus the 10% off.
Awesome! Thanks for getting it started and stickied, LowCel.
I'll post the pedal deal here so my old thread will die a faster death:
Smokin' deal on a discontinued Mavic pedal at CC. Similar deals are popping up elsewhere.
CNC cantilever brakes. 30 bones for the set. Seems like a pretty good deal to me, I ordered a set a few days ago, I will post the results.
chainlove.com is a site worth visiting everyday
Vittoria Open Corsa CX tires are currently a ridiculous $28 a tire at Ribble, in almost every color but black
Yesterday Nashbar had a secret sale of 20% off certain items. There was a Schwinn bike with 105 levers and external bearing Suntour cranks for $600 after discount, before shipping. The Nashbar carbon frameset was $480 after discount, before shipping. I was intrigued. The Discipline Fairy was kind though and granted me the will to not click 'Buy'.
105 levers are on sale for $221 though, and having just wrecked my 10 speed, need some levers. I do not have the fundage right now though, and I am sad.
BackCountry. Plus, if you order through Mr. Rebates (www.mrrebates.com), you get an additional 8% cash back.
Zipp handle bars
Zipp wheels
SRAM Red stuff
Not to mention the killer deals on Ridley frames (and others) at Competitive Cyclist. Got my excalibur frame for $656, currently on for $799 (they say retail is $2195 but that's obviously doubtful).
Competitive Cyclist also has a really good deal on SRAM Force BB30 cranks.. $187.00
Planet X USA has vintage Cinelli Spinaci aero bar on sale for $12.5. Very popular in the 90's! Color choice is kind of limited.
This...Shimano 105 for $637.
Seems like a good race wheel, and a good price

San Miguel De Mayocc Group
Most of the community is involved in commerce or fruit production; the fruit is sold mainly in Huanta. There is also some livestock in the area, including a number of guinea pig farms.
Alberta and Candelaria are two members of the San Miguel D. Mayocc Village Bank. Alberta is married with four children, who are 20, 16, 14 and 10 years old. She raises and sells guinea pigs, a business she has been involved in for the past three years. At first, the business was difficult, since her guinea pigs had fleas, but now the problem is under control, thanks in part to loans from FINCA, which she used to buy medicine. She plans to use her current loan of 200 soles to fix the irrigation system for her alfalfa, which she grows to feed the guinea pigs. Her dreams for the future are for her children to graduate with professional degrees, and to have a large guinea pig farm.
Candelaria is married with five children, who are 25, 23, 20, 18 and 16 years old. She also has a guinea pig farm; she buys young animals and fattens them up to resell. Like Alberta, Candelaria had problems when she first started raising guinea pigs because they got sick and died and she didn't know how to keep them healthy. She has learned a lot about the animals since then, and they don't get sick any mO.. She plans to use her loan of 500 soles to buy supplements for her guinea pigs, so that she can fatten them up and sell them in the city of Ayacucho. Like Alberta, Candelaria's dreams for the future are for her children to graduate with professional degrees and to have a large guinea pig farm.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

text: I think I found a good one this time...Picked this up yesterday at a thrift store. I could'nt leave it there. The headbadge is stamped 0962. It is a 1982. To me it looks all original(except for the camo bar wrap) even down to the tires. This thing was taken care of pretty well. Someone had put some stickers over the LeTour decals so when I took them off some of them came with them. The seriel number on the left dropout is SC211637. The link has more up close pictures of the components. I'm glad I picked it up.
