Paying homage to the heroes of the world, CNN presented an all-star tribute to the brightest lights on Tuesday evening (November 18).
Christina Hendricks was on hand to make a presentation and looked lovely in a modest green frock that hugged her curves in all the right places.
He's in the midst of an extensive promotional tour for his new self-titled album and Nick Jonas showed up at "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" for a little game show action last night (November 10).
He grew up in a deeply religious home and Nick Jonas still has love for his upbringing, as evidenced by his new take on "Jealous."
The "Who I Am" singer gathered up a top-notch Gospel choir and let the cameras roll as they sang his hit in a whole new way.
He's excited about dropping his new self-titled album on November 10th, and in the meantime Nick Jonas is teasing fans with a brand new titillating tune.
The "Who I Am" crooner takes his sex appeal to the next level with "Avalanche," a duet with his good friend Demi Lovato.
He's come a long way since his purity-ring-wearing days as a teen heartthrob and Nick Jonas played a pretty racy game called "Guess The Bulge" while doing an interview with Sugarscape.
The "Jealous" singer was handed a stack of photographs and his job was to figure out which celebrity the crotch shot belonged to.
Given his crazy career schedule, it's a wonder Nick Jonas has any time to sleep much less spend hours in the gym.
However, the "Who I Am" hunk proves he's in killer shape in his new shirtless photo spread for Details magazine.
With plenty of experience under his belt, Nick Jonas is wise beyond his years and in the November 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan he shares the biggest lesson he's learned so far.
He's always happy to show off his drool-worthy physique and Nick Jonas just gave all of his fans an early Christmas present.
The "Who I Am" crooner is on the cover of Flaunt magazine, lifting up his shirt to reveal some of the hottest abs to ever wear a purity ring.

Funk's Grove, Illinois - Page 2
<< Previous
1 2 Next >>
While I daresay that most people don't know
about the rich contributions made by the Funk Family to the area, they do
know that Funk's Grove is
home to "Maple Sirup." Upon nearing this old community, a rustic sign stands on a grassy embankment with the simple words "Maple Sirup." Here, amongst the prairie, sits a natural maple grove dominating
the landscape and filled with sugar and black maples of record size. The
actual site of the syrup operation is about ¼ mile to the south.
At the sign, situated at Funks Grove Road,
turn west to the sleepy little hamlet of Funk's Grove. Here sits the old
Walker Store which once operated as a grocery store and gas station.
Later, it was utilized as an antique store, and though still filled with
dusty relics, it is closed today. The historic depot that stands in the
middle of the clearing was actually the passenger depot in nearby Shirley
before it was moved to Funk's
Grove. The original Funk's Grove Depot is located at the Funk's Grove
Camp to the south.
This building once served as a grocery store
and gas station,
before it was opened as an Antique
Store. It too is closed today.
Kathy Weiser, October, 2010.

editorial downloads
Passing by still utilized grain silos, the
road continues westward about a mile to the old cemetery and
Funk's Grove Church which
dates back to 1845. Adam Funk, Isaac's father, chose the location
of the cemetery and in 1830, he was the first to be buried there.
the Funk and Stubblefield families first came to the area church services
were first held in their private homes before a log school building was
constructed in 1827, at which time they were held there. Though the
building is gone, it is marked with a large stone just west of the still
standing church building. However, Robert Stubblefield would later insist
on building a "real" church building and he, along with Isaac and their
sons erected the building in 1864-65. The church, an outdoor "chapel," and
the cemetery are now owned and managed by the
Funk's Grove Cemetery
Association. The church, which still features its original walnut pulpit
and altar rail, white pine pews, and original glass is open year round and
can be rented for weddings.
On down the road about another mile is the
original homestead site of Robert Stubblefield. All that's left today is a
rustic barn sitting in the middle of a field. Near here also was once the
Burger Sawmill and Farm. There is nothing left of the sawmill, but a sign
marks the spot.
The Sugar Grove Nature Center, which protects
over 1,000 acres of the largest remaining intact prairie grove in
Illinois, is just south of the old townsite of Funk's Grove. It includes
over five miles of trails and hosts various events throughout the year.
After having visited the sites of
Funk's Grove, return to Route
66 and continue ¼ mile south to Funk's Grove Camp, the site where maple
sirup is made. For generations the Funk family used the many maple trees
to make syrup and maple sugar for their personal use. Years later, Arthur
Funk, Isaac's grandson, capitalized on this when he opened the first
commercial sirup camp in 1891. In 1896 Arthur's brother, Lawrence, took over
the operation and in the 1920's the sirup operation was passed to
Hazel Funk Holmes.
Route 66
came through about this time, the Maple Sirup business boomed and
hardly could the sirup be made for the season when it was already sold
When Aunt Hazel was ready to retire she asked her nephew, Stephen
Funk, and his wife, Glaida, to take over the grove and the surrounding
farm in 1947. However, before transferring the operation, she arranged
for a trust insuring that
Funk's Grove Pure Maple Sirup would be around for generations to
come. Although the trees are worth millions, the trust stipulated that
it would never be used for anything other than making maple sirip. The
trust also stipulated that the spelling of the word "sirip" remain the
As to the spelling of
the word, a sign at Funk's Grove had this to say:
Historically, according to Webster's
Dictionary, "sirup" was the preferred spelling when referring to the
product made by boiling sap. "Syrup" with a "y", however, was
defined as the end product of adding sugar to fruit juice. Though the "I" spelling is no longer commonly used, the United States
Department of Agriculture and Canada also still use it when referring
to pure maple sirup. Hazel Funk Holmes, whose trust continues to
preserve and protect this timber for maple sirup production insisted
on the "I" spelling during her lifetime. It's another tradition that
will continue at Funks Grove.
In 1988, Stephen Funk
retired and his son Michael and wife, Debby took over the business.
Unfortunately, Funk's Grove Camp is sold
out on our visit in
October, 2010. Kathy Weiser.

The old depot that sits in the clearing in
Funk's Grove was actually
moved from
Shirley. Kathy Weiser, October,
Today, a seventh generation of Funks
continue to make sirup at this historic place that feels as though it
stepped right out a century ago, yet is just miles off of busy
Interstate 55.
The Funk family also still continues to farm
about 2,000 acres of the original homestead and manages about 1,000 head
of cattle

This could be the next number one hit country song. It's the best effort yet at encapsulating the outrage at the oversteps of this government in an entertaining song.

NORCROSS, Ga -- Something creepy happened at Summerour Middle School in Norcross. Fortunately it didn't happen while the kids were there. But a teacher saw it and surveillance cameras on the school building saw it.
School resource officers won't show it because it's inappropriate. The video shows a man pulling his car into the back parking lot of the school. Gwinnett County School spokesperson Jorge Quintana described what happened after the suspicious man got out of his car. "He took his clothes off and walked around the building," he said.
According to a notice that went out to teachers and workers at the school, the incident happened on March 17 at approximately 8:10 PM. "This was something that was not an immediate threat to students," Quintana said.
The suspicious man was at the school for about 45 minutes. The notice said "He was aware that other persons were in the building and there were other cars in the parking lot where he parked his car."
One teacher, who left the building at 8:28 PM, saw the man and notified administrators the next day. "Since teachers are working late at night and janitors are in the building as well, we notified them to be careful and to be on the lookout as they're trying to leave school for home at night," Quintana said.
The naked man was described as no more than 30 years old. He was tall and thin and had black hair and sideburns. He was driving a white or silver older model Toyota or Nissan with a sun roof, according to Quintana.
Quintana said school resource officers looked at surveillance tapes from other days but it appears the man was at the school only one day. He said school resource officers notified Norcross Police about the incident.

After delivering snails to lawmakers last week, farmers returned to the House of Representatives Wednesday to bring baskets of rotten vegetables to symbolize what they called 'the rotten conscience' of lawmakers who killed the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP).
Farmers and other support groups marked Thursday the 28th anniversary of the Mendiola Massacre, gathering at the scene of the event just meters away from Malacanang Palace, with calls for a pro-people agrarian reform and urban industrialization.
Photographs on land and land reform by documentary photographer Jes Aznar are launched online and will also be mounted at UP Diliman to commemorate "#HLMX" or the tenth anniversary of the Hacienda Luisita Massacre.
Labor Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz and other labor officials, together with the eco-park's administration, recently unveiled a marker at the entrance of the Luisita Industrial Park (LIP) which reads: "This is a Labor Law compliant Eco-Zone".
Filipino-American activists early Wednesday (Tuesday in the United States) interrupted President Benigno Aquino III as he was making a speech at the Columbia University, BAYAN USA said in a press release.
On the 42nd anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law, a poet and activist in Central Luzon got a taste of what life was like for many Filipinos under totalitarian rule.
The Department of Agrarian Reform reiterated Monday that no funds outside of what was appropriated by Congress were added to the fund which government uses to pay the cash portion of the compensation to landowners.
Great opportunities await farmer beneficiaries of Hacienda Luisita in Tarlac City as the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) unveiled various options each of them could avail. One option is the tested sugar block farming concept.
Under CARP, and through the DAR, the landmark 2012 Supreme Court ruling to finally distribute Hacienda Luisita has been subjected to various legal contrivances that favor the Cojuangco-Aquinos in their bid to once again dodge land distribution and retain control of thousands of hectares.
First Pacific Co Ltd is scouting for new investments in the Philippine sugar industry after buying a stake in Roxas Holdings Inc (RHI).

When to apply for Chase Ink
Just recently started a small business and am looking to simplify my financials by putting everything on a business credit card. Interested in the Chase Ink. Back on 05/30 I was approved for a Chase Sapphire Preffered and a Amex BCP for my personal use, and also just closed on a business line of credit with TD bank for 50k. My scores are in the 715-730 range across the board. When would be the best time to apply for the Chase Ink Business? The CSP is reporting to my personal, but the line of credit and Amex BCP have not. Any advice is appreciated!

Hi everybody,
I just want to know that how many SMS and phone numbers we can store on the 3G Sim. Mainly I want to ask you guys that how much is a 3G Sim Card Capacity? Hope that someone will answer to my query soon.
Hi everybody,

As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness.Henry David Thoreau
The iPhone, the company Apple Inc. , is a smart phone to access multimedia internet , touch screen (technology multitouch) and interface hardware minimalist. Since it lacks a keyboard physical, one virtual shown on the screen. The 3G iPhone has a camera of 3 Megapixels and a music player (equivalent to the iPod ) in addition to software for sending and receiving text messages and voice messages. It also offers Internet services such as reading email , upload web pages and Connectivity Wi-Fi.
AMD 64 x2 4800+
OCZ (2 x 512) DDR600
The SIM card is inserted into a slot at the top of the device, and can be removed with the help of a clip or a specific tool that is included in the pack of iPhone 3G. In most countries, iPhone only accepts the SIM card mobile phone company that sells them, which prevents the use by customers of other companies. But there is a free option, this device, which is to release the phone to any company in the world, through software, welding or TurboSim. Iphone software for each there is a special program to unlock, the iPhone 3G and 3G.
you know you've made it big on here when you have your own imposter
So far, all we have ever used mobile SIM cards 'normal', which we have been using since moving there more than 10 years ago in the iPhone or other mobile. Although there are some differences in memory capacity and therefore contact number so you can accommodate in its interior, has never changed its form (beyond the shape of the chip contacts or color / design that gives the operator). The IPAD 3G MicroSim cards used, ie smaller cards, which until now did not know.
I think same as 2g. MTNL 2G and 3G cards are same, so i guess its same. i think they all are 32bit SIMs. I also think that BSNL also comes with 128k & 256k variants - 256k can hold up to 500 contacts. Hope that you were looking for the same.
No TechArena No Experts, Know TA know Experts!
Now you can manage GSM, 3G and Nextel SIM card and read SMS messages. Do not waste your valuable time handling contacts with the cumbersome phone keypad and small screen, use the computer and SIM Manager instead. SIM Manager is an advanced management tool for SIM card, which offers a simple way to organize the address book of a SIM card, as well as process other data stored on the SIM card, as the SMS archive, the list of numbers fixed dialing, last dialed numbers, etc. The SIM Manager allows you to manage the security codes of a SIM or USIM card, to enable or disable the PIN codes, changing them, or unlock a locked SIM card.
SIM Manager comes with a backup mechanism, which enables you to make copies of your SIM cards and use them if a card is lost or stolen, or when a copy of a SIM card is necessary. The SIM card manager is fully compatible with Nextel and 3G SIM cards, while maintaining compatibility with older GSM cards. This makes it possible to synchronize the contents of different SIM cards when switching from one mobile network to another.

Book review: 'Citizen Soldier: A Life of Harry S. Truman' by Aida D. Donald
Those who want a concise book about an improbable president who became one of the nation's most revered should read "Citizen Soldier: A Life of Harry S. Truman" (Basic Books, $26.99).
Writer Aida D. Donald tells of Truman's impoverished early life and his good times and bad until his death at 88 in 1972. Of the 44 presidents, he often is considered by today's historians to rank in the top half-dozen. The simple man from Missouri was vice president when he was thrust into the presidency upon Franklin D. Roosevelt's death in 1945.
The author details the complicated world following World War II and the many challenges Truman faced. The stress affected Truman's health and married life, but he and his beloved Bess stuck through it. Donald mentions the often-told story of how the couple got so involved in lovemaking that the bed collapsed. (The Blair House servants should have been too discreet to tell that.)
When Truman sought election in 1948, the pundits predicted he wouldn't have a chance. He waged a hard-fought race and emerged the victor. The author's candid appraisals of some of the public figures of the time add spice.
Misdeeds of some of Truman's staff caused his administration to be labeled as corrupt, as was the case with President Ronald Reagan. However, there was no evidence of improprieties by the two presidents themselves.
A historian, Donald has taught at Columbia University and is author of a book on Theodore Roosevelt, "A Lion in the White House." The Truman book offers little that is fresh and original, but skimming the 265 pages is by no means a waste of time, especially for those who yearn to know more about our 33rd president.

|Patent application number
|SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING DEADLOCK IN A MULTITHREAD PROGRAM - A system and method for detecting deadlock in multithread program is provided. The method includes: selecting the thread to be detected; initiating a tracking program to track the thread running in a kernel; initiating a target multithread program; determining whether the selected thread is running; dynamically inserting a probe in the database in order to detect the selected thread through the instrument function. The instrument function records the detected data, and when the recorded data goes beyond the threshold value of the kernel, the data is transmitted to the user space which stores the data, and analyzing the data stored in the user space to judge whether deadlock has been generated. Accordingly, it is possible to detect deadlock efficiently, without the source code of the target program. This is beneficial to a debug task of the multithread and is beneficial to analysis of the usage of the source by the multithread program.
|INTELLIGENT DECISION SUPPORTING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAKING INTELLIGENT DECISION - An intelligent decision supporting system and a method for making an intelligent decision are provided. The intelligent decision supporting system includes a multi-dimensional classifier comprising a plurality of classifiers that define different semantic standards and are trained based on the different semantic standards, for classifying a text by the semantic standards and for outputting a plurality of attributes of the text and a confidence rate of each of the plurality of attributes, a question submitting module for receiving the output of the multi-dimensional classifier, for forming a question based on the plurality of attributes of the text and the confidence rate of each attribute, and for submitting the question to an inference machine, the inference machine for receiving the question submitted by the question submitting module, for inquiring of a domain ontology knowledge library based on the question, and for providing an answer for the question to an decision reply module, a domain ontology knowledge library module for storing a domain ontology knowledge library related to an application domain of the intelligent decision supporting system, wherein the domain ontology knowledge library records description of rules for deriving decisions corresponding to the semantic standards of the multi-dimensional classifier, and the decision reply module for providing the answer for the question provided by the inference machine to the user.
|DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD AND APPARATUS BASED ON MOTION IDENTIFICATION - A data transmission method and apparatus based on motion identification are disclosed. The method includes detecting and identifying a change of a position status of a data transmission apparatus, detecting, by the data transmission apparatus, a target apparatus when the change of the position status is determined to be a predefined motion, and establishing, by the data transmission apparatus, a connection with the target apparatus and performing, by the data transmission apparatus, a data transmission, if the target apparatus is detected. The data transmission method does not operate through an interface, but can trigger a data transmission apparatus to detect a target apparatus and to perform a data transmission by only identifying a motion of the data transmission apparatus. Thus, the operation of data transmission can be simplified, and a user-friendly operation method can be achieved.

Melba's Swap Shop: Bread begins with starter
Bread begins with starter
DEAR MELBA: Here are the instructions for making Amish Bread Starter, as someone requested. When making or storing the starter, use only a glass bowl or lidded plastic container and wooden spoon. Metal will kill the starter.
However, I have plenty of starter, and if readers want some, I can share if they can pick it up. Tell them to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Amish bread starter
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 cups warm, 110 degrees, water
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
• Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover loosely and stir each day.
• On the fifth day, add to the yeast mixture, 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. (Mixing the flour and sugar together before adding keeps the starter from being lumpy). Stir each day.
• On the 10th day, add 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar. This is your starter. Divide it and share in 1 cup increments, or divide into 1 cup amounts and store in quart-size freezer bags in the freezer.
• As you bake with this, you can add the flour sugar and milk in 1/4- or 1/2-cup increments so you won't have an excess of starter. Always remember to keep 1 cup for yourself.
• If you're planning on baking a lot, you can start with the 1 cup of ingredients. Now you're ready to bake.
— CAROLINE MEDLINGER, Oklahoma City
DEAR MELBA: Here is another poem your readers might like. I don't know who wrote it, but I read it and reread it. There is so much truth in it.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the grace of God cannot keep you.
Where the arms of God cannot support you,
Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,
Where the power of God cannot endow you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the spirit of God cannot work through you,
Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you,
Where the army of God cannot protect you,
Where the hands of God cannot mold you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the love of God cannot enfold you,
Where the mercies of God cannot sustain you,
Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears,
Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.
The will of God will never take you,
Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears,
Where the Word of God cannot feed you,
Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you,
Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.
DEAR MELBA: I knew immediately the source of "I'll Walk With God" mentioned in your column recently. I requested it as background music at our wedding, which, by the way, was 57 years ago this month. This piece of music is from the "Student Prince." The words are by Paul Francis Webster, music by Nicholas Brodszky. I looked in my "stash" of music and was able to find it. I am happy to share this information.
— INA LOU RACKLEY, Stillwater
Honey Dene Wall, of Oklahoma City, remembers the song very well, because it also was sung at her wedding 57 years ago. And Elaine Burkhead, of Norman, sang "I'll Walk With God" at a wedding. Others sharing included Donald Baxter, Judith Andrews, Jean Whitmarsh, Verna Higby, Oklahoma City; Kathy Mulhair, Norman; Peggy Munkres, Elk City.
DEAR MELBA: I'm trying to find where I can buy Trader Dave's Gourmet Treats, such as sweet and spicy, garlic dill pickles. Do you or your readers know of anywhere in Oklahoma City or Tulsa that carries Trader Dave's products?
— CAROLYN BARLOW, Wetumka
If you have a problem other readers might help solve or an idea you'd like to share, write to Melba's Swap Shop, Box 25125, Oklahoma City, OK 73125. Please include your name and address.

Music Tonight: Reflection Eternal, Nude Beach and more
The show by Trigger Hippy (featuring Joan Osborne and members of The Black Crowes) scheduled for tonight at Newport's Southgate House Revival has been postponed due to a death in Osborne's family. The band is hoping to reschedule the show soon. But there are plenty of other solid live music options in Greater Cincinnati tonight. • One of the best local Hip Hop shows in recent memory at at Rhinegeist in Over-the-Rhine. Reflection Eternal, renowned Cincinnati-based producer/artist Hi-Tek's collaboration with legendary MC Talib Kweli, headlines the 8 p.m. concert, marking a rare appearance by the duo. The lineup also features Cincinnati heroes Mood, who took Cincy Hip Hop nationwide in the '90s, Buggs Tha Rocka (who's prepping a new album release for early December), Trademark Aaron (whose new video for "The Best," featuring Easy Lantana, recently premiered on Vevo's home page), Clockworkdj (Mac Miller's official DJ), Valley High, Eddie Vaughn, Aida Chakra and many others. Tickets are $30 at the door while they last. • Dynamic, groovy and fun rockers Automagik are putting out a limited edition, Halloween-themed EP, Monster Party, for the holiday. The five-track collection features appropriate tracks taken from the group's two albums. as well as the new title track. The band will have Monster Party available at its show Thursday night at Newport's Thompson House (purchasers can "name their price"). The 8 p.m. event (with just a $5 cover) also features area acts Dark Colour, Motherfolk, Celestials and Young Colt, plus a live art performance by Kara Mitchell. Costumes are encouraged — those wearing the best ones will be rewarded with a piece of Mitchell's artwork. Here's one of the previously released Automagik tracks included on the Monster Party EP: Black Sundae by Automagik• Also playing Thompson House tonight (in one of the other rooms) is Jamaican Reggae fave Cocoa Tea. Tea's fellow countryman Louie Culture also appears, along with soulful Folk/Soul/Jazz/Reggae singer Etana, Cincinnati's The Cliftones and others. Showtime is 9:30 p.m. and tickets are $25. Cocoa Tea began making waves in the mid-'80s before busting out internationally in the '90s. Tea scored some major U.S. press in 2008 when he released a song in support of the man who would become our country's first African American President (in case you're unclear to whom I'm referring, the song was called "Barack Obama") and this year he released his 30th LP, Sunset in Negril, on his own Roaring Lion label. • After adding to their already huge press kit at the recent CMJ festival in New York City, Cincy Trash Pop trio Tweens has been added to the bill at Over-the-Rhine's The Drinkery tonight, making an already great show even better. The band is joining Brooklyn trio Nude Beach and excellent Cincinnati-based newcomers Leggy. Making infectious, classics-influenced Pop Rock, Nude Beach is touring behind its just released album 77. Here's the album's single "For You":The free show kicks off at 9 p.m.• British rockers You Me at Six play Corryville's Bogart's tonight. Doors open at (of course) 6 p.m. The U.K.'s Young Guns and L.A.'s Stars in Stereo open. You Me at Six is beginning to make waves in the States after building a large and loyal fan base in the U.K. The band is currently touring behind its critically acclaimed latest, Cavalier Youth, a big hit in their homeland (it became the group's first No. 1 album when released early this year). Here's the video for You Me at Six's "Room to Breathe": Click here for even more live music events tonight in the Cincinnati area and feel free to plug any other shows going on tonight in the comments.

Music Tonight: Jamaican Queens, Elia Goat and More
Detroit producers/Electro musicians Ryan Spencer and Adam Pressley formed its new project Jamaican Queens last year, following the demise of their previous band, Prussia. The pair bonded over a mutual love for Hip Hop production, something that would find itself central to Jamaican Queens winding sound. Together less than a year, the twosome's single "Kids Get Away" introduced the newcomers with a sound that blends EDM, Hip Hop sounds and rhythms and a somewhat psychedelic brand of Indie Pop. The band calls its music "Trap Pop," a reference to the Trap style of Hip Hop that is something of a successor to the old Southern Crunk style. Still, you won't mistake Jamaican Queens' music for T.I.'s — JQ's unpredictable, fluttering style recalls MGMT's last two albums had the Electronic aspects of their music been more prominent. Jamaican Queens' first full-length, Wormfood, is due in February and was mixed by Christopher Lazlo Koltay, a former Cincinnati musician who has been enjoying a successful engineering/production career in Detroit the past several years, working with artists like The Dirtbombs and Akron/Family. Here's the song that has garnered the band the most attention so far, "Kids Get Away."Kids Get Away by Jamaican Queens

Daily MPMFer: Two Week Countdown Begins
The first of two weeks' worth of daily recommendations for 2012's MidPoint Music Festival
The official MidPoint Music Festival guide, featuring preview blurbs on all 186 artists performing at this year's fest, is on the streets now to help make your MPMF.12 itinerary-planning a little easier. Yesterday, when the issue had just come out, I already had a handful of people asking me who my top picks were for the fest. Writing and/or reading and editing 186 paragraphs about 186 bands does things to your mind that I can't even explain, so I had to beg off. But I'm ready now.Starting today, exactly two weeks before MPMF.12 kicks off in the venues of Over-the-Rhine and Downtown, we're beginning the "Daily MPMFer," a daily dose of recommendations for who to see at the festival, should you have a hole in your personal schedule. We'll post three blurbs a day — one about a bigger, more known act, one about a slightly more under-the-radar "sleeper" and one about a local band. I'll also add a song sample or music video to each to give MPMF-goers an even better sense of the artists' talents. (The blurbs were written by myself, the legendary Brian Baker and scrappy up-and-comer Deirdre Kaye, both of whom were hugely helpful compiling our beast of a guide this year.) There are so many great performers at this year's fest, we probably won't get to all the worthy contenders, but we'll get you started (you have to do some exploring on your own). And, when in doubt, always go with the artist with "(Cincinnati, OH)" next to their name; all of our hometown MPMFers are worthy of your attention. Be sure to grab a guide (there should be plenty floating around come fest time) and start mapping out your long weekend of music. We'll also add any MPMF updates — crucial or otherwise — in these "Daily MPMFers," to keep you abreast of the latest developments. You can also click here for our MPMF hub on citybeat.com, with feature stories, MPMF-related tweets and more. Today's big news — three-day wristbands are selling quick and may well sell out. Be sure to grab yours immediately for the best pricing deal (limited one-day tickets will be $50 or you can pay individual cover charges which will add up quickly). Click here for more ticket info. BIG SHOTHospitality (Brooklyn, NY)Indie Pop Driven by the singular Pop song stylings of Amber Papini, Hospitality first caught attention with a lo-fi, untitled EP, which garnered a rare glowing review from Pitchfork. The band signed with legendary Indie Rock label Merge and released its self-titled full-length debut for the label earlier this year. At its core, Hospitality's music has some of the primal vibe of early '90s K Records releases, but the sophisticated arrangements wrapped around Papini's compellingly unique voice give the album a depth those artists were rarely capable of. You'll Dig It If You Dig: Ivy, Tennis, Barbara Manning, Tiger Trap. (Mike Breen)Hospitality performs at 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27, on the Grammer's/Dewey's Pizza stage. Check out the band's emotionally-heavy new video for the track "Eighth Avenue." Hospitality - Eighth Avenue from Merge Records on Vimeo.SLEEPER PICKKitten (Los Angeles, CA)Indie Electro PopKitten frontwoman Chloe Chaidez grew up on Classic Rock and CMJ compilation CDs thanks to a tuned-in father who once drummed for Punk bands in L.A. Chaidez had her first band by the time she was 10 and by 12 she was opening for artists like Midlake and Bright Eyes. She had a false-start entry into the music biz when she was almost derailed by drinking and drugging, but she quickly righted the ship and got back on a sober track, crafting the music that would become Kitten's recently released EP, Cut It Out, for Atlantic Records. The album mixes New Wave electronics, driving guitars and Chaidez's stellar Pop songwriting abilities for a sound hip enough for the cool kids but catchy enough to fit right in with a lot of today's Top 40 offerings. Dig: The Ting Tings and Teagan and Sara on the dancefloor, Grimes. (MB)Kitten performs at 10:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27, on the Know Theater/Biore Strip main stage. Here's the video for the title track of Kitten's new EP. LOCAL LOCK PICKAutomagik (Cincinnati, OH)Indie RockIt's been a couple of years since Automagik dropped their eponymous debut full-length, and it's way past time for the Cincinnati highwire rockers to birth its follow up. With helium-tinged vocals, glammy guitars and a Viking rhythm section reminiscent of The Darkness and Queen, Automagik has found the perfect balance of Garage Rock swagger, '70s Rock bluster, New Wave quirk and Indie Rock anthemics, creating a jet-fueled sonic explosion that sounds eerily familiar and wildly original. Presumably, Automagik has worked up new material, but can they top the sugar rush head chill of "Brain Freeze" or the Rock operatics of "Paper Heart"? Show up, drink the Kool-Aid and be converted.Dig: Foxy Shazam if they'd been more obsessed with Weezer than Queen, and yet devoted to both. Queezer? (Brian Baker)Automagik performs Friday, Sept. 28, at Below Zero Lounge. Here's the very cool, dizzying video for "Teleportation Blues."

Detroit Free Press "There's a running joke among the Red Wings about forward Johan Franzen and his fondness for food, specifically in regards to guessing his weight. It's generally between 220 and 230 pounds, fitting for a guy who stands 6-3. And then there's the metaphor that's fitting: The Wings are so much..." January 17
Detroit Free Press "Deep into the NHL off-season, it's time to take an analytical look at individual Red Wings and assess expectations for the coming season. Today's focal point: forward Johan Franzen. Franzen got mad in training camp when reporters asked about his need to improve after a slow finish to the..." August 23
Detroit Free Press "Now the points are piling up for Red Wings forward Johan Franzen. Franzen had three assists for the Swedes as they beat Denmark, 6-4, in Stockholm, Sweden, on Monday at the IIHF World Championship. In Helsinki, Finland, goaltender Jimmy Howard's Team USA suffered its first loss, 4-2, to the..." May 08
Detroit News "This was not a mad Mule or even a miffed Mule. At least, that's what he said, again and again. This was a muted Mule, simmering well. Johan Franzen is called the Mule for a reason, mainly because of his size (6-foot-3 and 223 pounds) and because of his stubbornness. Nothing wrong with those..." April 17
Detroit Free Press "Red Wings forward Johan Franzen already is showing signs of a tough first-round series against the Predators. Franzen was sporting a dark mark under his right eye, courtesy of an elbow from Mike Fisher early in the Wings' 3-2 win Friday in Game 2. Franzen was whistled for cross-checking at..." April 15
Detroit News "In the opening 90 seconds of play Friday between the Red Wings and Predators, Nashville forward Mike Fisher shadowed Johan Franzen near the boards. Fisher moved closer and swung his arms at the bulky Wings scorer. He struck Franzen on the nose, first with his stick, then his elbow. Franzen..." April 15
Detroit Free Press "After practice ended Monday, Red Wings forward Johan Franzen and defenseman Jonathan Ericsson had a little fun outside the locker room. Wearing a harness around his waist, Franzen sprinted down the hallway, Ericsson holding onto the other end of the rope, trying to hold back the Mule. This..." April 10
Detroit Free Press "Sometimes it takes awhile to get the mix right on a line -- it takes changing what has worked in the past and trying something different. Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk, for example, got off to a slow start this season, recording just two goals and nine assists after 17 games. This, despite..." January 21
Detroit Free Press "Oh, the things that can happen by driving to the net: scoring, for example -- twice, for good measure. Red Wings coach Mike Babcock's go-to formula for any forward to be successful is to go to the net, but some players on the team hear it more than others. Johan Franzen gets reminders..." November 10
Detroit Free Press "The Red Wings scored two straight power-play goals to help them win their second consecutive game, 5-2, against the Avalanche on Tuesday night at Joe Louis Arena. "It was great to see the power play respond with two goals, especially when we needed them, too," Nicklas Lidstrom said. "It was..." November 09
Detroit Free Press "Henrik Zetterberg shed a little light on the psyche of Red Wings teammate and good friend Johan Franzen. "You want him happy," Zetterberg said Monday, "and he's happy when he scores goals." Franzen should have been happy in the afternoon then, after his drives to the net yielded two goals to..." September 20
Detroit Free Press "Detroit Red Wings forward Johan Franzen scored two goals this afternoon, leading Team Howe to victory in a scrimmage. That's a good start for a guy the Wings need to score, though Franzen apparently is the last guy keeping count of such things. Franzen led the Wings with 28 goals in 73 games..." September 20
Detroit News "Johan Franzen knew the questions were coming. When a player of Franzen's stature scores two goals in the final 27 games, goes quiet in the playoffs when his team is eliminated, the questions come from every direction. Everybody wants to know one thing: Why? Franzen isn't sure..." September 20
Detroit News "The Red Wings are hoping this is a sign of things to come. Johan Franzen, who slumped badly the second half of last season (two goals in last 27 games), scored twice in Monday's intra-squad scrimmage leading, Team Howe to a 6-3 victory over Team Lindsay. "It's only a scrimmage but it always..." September 20
Detroit Free Press "Franzen, 31, provided 28 goals and 55 points in 77 games in 2010-11. He led the team in goals, but Pavel Datsyuk was limited to 56 games and still managed to score 23 in that span. Franzen was a nonfactor in the playoffs after suffering an injured ankle in Game 2 of the first-round series,..." August 10
Detroit Free Press "When he had a goal and an assist in the first game of the playoffs, it looked like the start of another banner spring for Red Wings forward Johan Franzen. Danny Cleary commented at the time that he thought Franzen "just hates the regular season," a nod to Franzen's playoff history, which..." May 17
Detroit Free Press "The Detroit Red Wings' Johan Franzen and the San Jose Sharks' Ryane Clowe both skated this morning at HP Pavilion, but both are game-time decisions for Game 7 tonight. The forwards' availability depends on how effective they can be. Franzen is dealing with a sprained ankle. Clowe has an upper..." May 12
Michigan Live "The status of forwards Johan Franzen of the Detroit Red Wings and Ryane Clowe of the San Jose Sharks both will be determined at game time tonight (9 p.m., FSD) as the teams prepare for Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals at HP Pavilion. Both players skated this morning. The Sharks had..." May 12
Detroit News "Johan Franzen showed good mobility walking off the plane Monday. That is if you consider dodging the media good mobility. Franzen opted not to discus his injured right ankle, which he tweaked in the second period Sunday to the point where coach Mike Babcock felt it best not to play him in the..." May 10
Michigan Live "As much as the Detroit Red Wings are bolstered by the return of Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen, they realize it's going to take some time before these high-impact forwards return to form. That was evident in San Jose's 2-1 overtime victory Friday in Game 1 of the Western Conference..." May 01
Detroit News "Johan Franzen practiced Tuesday - a bit. And, he'd be the first to admit he didn't overwhelm anybody. "Just wheeling around and little bit and see how it felt," said Franzen, who was testing his sore left ankle in hopes he'll be ready for the Red Wings' second-round matchup against either..." April 27
Detroit Free Press "Detroit Red Wings forward Johan Franzen skated for about 15 minutes at the start of practice today, casting into doubt his availability for the start of Round 2.

Blizzard tears WoW to the ground and builds it up more skillfully than ever before. The new content is creative, has a tangible sense of story and progression that you wouldn't expect from an MMO, and is implemented so skillfully and smoothly that the bumps in the road are actually a bit jarring. Excellent art design goes a long way at concealing the cracks and wrinkles in a ten-year-old engine.

Re: Www 2013 Ncaa Team Tournament

Congrats to Stanford. This may be the toughest road any team in any sport has ever had to an NCAA title. The Card had to beat the other four best teams in the country -- the three SEC tri-champions and the undefeated PAC-12 champion USC. It's an extraordinary achievement to win the title in this situation when there was so little separating the top 5 or 6 teams.
I would stop short of calling any of Stanford's victories upsets or calling the title run improbable. Everyone knew that Stanford was much better than its No. 12 seed indicated, for three reasons:
(1) Stanford always had the best player in the country, defending NCAA champion Nicole Gibbs, but this fact was not reflected in the seedings. Nicole dabbled with pro tournaments during the year and had little to prove during the regular season, so her dual performance was so-so. But there was no question that an NCAA team title was the one college tennis goal she had yet to fulfill - one that she came oh-so-close to achieving freshman year. Her game relies a lot on motivation and there was no question she would be highly motivated. This showed most clearly when Gibbs obliterated the current No. 1 player who stole Stanford's 2011 title, Lauren Embree, and left her with a bagel and a breadstick. Gibbs dominance was beautiful, and her energy clearly inspires everyone around her like no other athlete I've ever seen.
(2) Apart from Gibbs and Tan, this team relied heavily on youth (e.g. Hardebeck) and a player recovering from injury (e.g. Ahn). You knew these players would start slow but would have a steep learning curve, and they'd be reliable in the end.
(3) All NCAA sports do an embarrassing job of seeding teams, and there's no question the PAC-12 teams were horribly underseeded in this women's tennis bracket. If you look at any model with firm statistical foundations (e.g. look at the Massey ratings for women's college tennis), USC should have been No. 1 and Stanford should have been No. 7, roughly. Instead USC was No. 5 and Stanford was No. 12. It's pathetic that the NCAA that engages so many institutions of higher education can't use basic statistical methods to rank teams. Stanford had a much harder road to the title than it should have had, and it's great the team could overcome that.
So the run was hardly improbable, but it's still truly impressive. Three of the four matches were oh-so-close and came down to a 4-3 win with a three-set decisive match that could've gone either way. Each of those matches had a different clincher -- Tsay, Hardebeck, and then Ahn, while Gibbs set the tone by closing out each of her matches at No. 1 decisively. This is a run clearly worthy of legendary status.
Having watched so many championship teams at Stanford...by far...this is the most exciting and memorable championship run and one of the most challenging
Indeed, being the #12 seed created more obstacles a tougher draw than it should have been. I agree that a #7 seed would have been more fitting but somehow the Cards dug deep into the trenches and pulled it off so the victory is well deserved
We all joked that Mal turning pro, Stanford played down 0-1 to start each match...hence, we saw so many 4-3 thrillers

Brighter future for cancer patients
Research advances in the past few years have created drugs with the enhanced ability to target certain cancers with greater effectiveness and fewer side effects. More than 25 percent of new cancer drugs under development are in the form of oral chemotherapy, a simple pill. While our traditional image of cancer treatment is of someone getting intravenous therapy, oral chemotherapy is increasingly the most effective treatment for certain cancers. Thanks to a new law signed by Gov. Mary Fallin, it's just become more affordable for Oklahomans diagnosed with cancer.
The new law, which will go into effect Nov. 1, directs health insurance plans to cover oral chemotherapy in the same way they cover intravenous or injected treatments. This will help reduce the out-of-pocket costs that many cancer patients face in order to obtain the type of chemotherapy their doctor has deemed best for them. Now, many Oklahomans in this position are paying $5,000 a month for their chemotherapy. It makes no sense, in this day of advanced drug research, for so many people faced with a serious illness to needlessly be subjected to expenses they can't afford simply based on whether the treatment is taken orally or intravenously.
I want to thank the Legislature and Fallin for Senate Bill 76. The future has just gotten brighter for cancer patients and caregivers.

Mar 7 2011Die Creep!: Most Realistic Humanoid To Date
Not to date like, "damn, I wanna take that stud out to dinner and play with his wiener afterward", to date like, "up to this point in time". Introducing Geminoid DX, the latest doppelganger of death from Kokoro Co. Ltd and this creepy mamma-jamma.
When we wrote Prof. Scharfe [the man whom the robot was modeled after] inquiring about the android, he confirmed: "No, it is not a hoax," adding that they've been working on the project for about a year now. His Geminoid was built by Kokoro in Tokyo and is now at Japan's Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) in Nara for setup and testing. "In a couple of weeks I will go back at Japan to participate in the experiments," he says. "After that, the robot is shipped to Denmark to inhabit a newly designed lab."
I posted several videos after the jump showing the ultra-realistic facial expressions and mannerisms the robot is capable of, none of which made me feel very warm and fuzzy inside. Cold and razor-wiry, yes. Is it wrong to feel so much hate for something that isn't even human? I say no. As a matter of fact, I f***ed my toaster up with a stool this morning for burning a bagel. Admit it -- YOU KNEW IT WAS THE LAST ONE!
A comparison shot of the live and humanoid versions, a couple shots of the robot without his face-skin on (in case you hate sleeping) and four short videos of the creep in action after the jump.
Latest Geminoid Is Incredibly Realistic [spectrum]
Thanks to Jesse, Joseph, 'Rick, yo!', Vince and brookmarin, who have already started sharpening their lasers. You, uh, guys do know lasers don't need sharpening, right? Yeah, just batteries. Shocking I know.

Normally robots and robotics don't bother me but all I can seem to think about while watching this is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Is it just me or in the last video does it resemble Data from Star Trek TNG?
is it just me, or is the fact that is actually looks like its breathing the most terrifying thing ever?
Why does it mimic breathing?! O_o Not cool
I thought I was crazy when I saw it 'breathing' but I guess I'm not. The fact it's breathing adds a humanity to it that is unsettling...
The person living right next door to you could be a robot and you wouldn't even know it.
I keep wondering why you HATE a humanoid made by humans, it is not the humanoid was made. However- I find it amazing, this creation, I would just don't make them be more and more alike humans because maybe we indeed make our own graves by that. *shifty*
Damn it, zoom on her butt, not on the robot's face...
That is insanely creepy but also insanely cool! I hope they're going to make the thing talk too.
The first picture without its skin made me laugh so hard. I wasn't expecting it to look that silly.

Why do they make them blink? Humans need to blink. Robots do not. It's creepy.
Plus, y'know, when the inevitable occurs and robots take over the world and attempt to destroy humanity, it'd be much easier to tell them apart if they don't mimic things like blinking and breathing. Just sayin'.
Kill with fire!!!
I'm gonna sing the Doom Song now. Doom doom doom doom doom...
Been done, it was called Total Recall. 2 weeks! 2 weeeekkkks! Really this impresses people? most movie propmakers do this day in day out..
i'd hit it...
lolol that last video is adorable xD
You can't kill it since it's not alive
Screw off GW! (whatever GW stands for) Droids are cool! but in my opinion, its only a matter of time before they walk the earth harvesting our bodies for their own benefit.
So... is this thing anatomically correct?
