Annoying Characters

Discussion in 'Classic Muppets' started by miss kermie, May 29, 2012.

    Now, I will grant you that. You're right about the fact that Junior's character did seem to gain depth over time. I guess that's true of most of the characters in the series (Or any good series in general.) I can't say that isn't true. Like I've said numerous times, the guy serves his purpose, I guess, but it is a personal dislike I have for him. His personality and voice grate on my nerves. Sometimes I just want to yell at the TV "Stop being an idiot for 5 minutes so we can move this plot along already!"
    But his depiction as a lonely, misunderstood and sort of thick headed lug are actually spot on. There are a lot of people like him out there...So THAT part is cleverly written for sure!

    Okay, how about this guy for another one that gets on my nerves...

    Roosevelt Franklin.

    Awww...I'm sorry. :( But if you look in the Hensonville thread 90% of my posts have Robin in them. So you'll obviously see I love Robin. ;)

    Why sorry? It's just a joke.
    And about the Hensonville thread, it's so long I don't even bother to read it. Maybe for another day…

    And carl just eats stuff, and talks loud. And is somebody for it.

    galagr Well-Known Member

    But Carl is the essence of all monsters, a big hungry lump that'll eat anything. Not to mention Animal, whom also eats stuff ( less often ) and talks loud, is mainstream.

    Alright, not to harp on the Gorg thing but I do have something to add about that.
    So I rewatched some episodes of Fraggle Rock and it came to 'The Gorg Who Would Be King.' Despite myself, I did actually warm up to him a little more in this episode. I wont say I like the guy. I still find him annoying, over all, but in this particular episode there was a real sweetness and gumption in him that comes out this episode. I liked that. ^_^

    But aside from that, my opinion stands.

    One of my favorite lines in the series: "Oh Daddy, you don't anything about being king. Or you would never have dropped that bomb..."

    bandit Well-Known Member

    It's the whole bomb moment I actually really coudn't help but like him. Well that and when he kind of put together how everything was tied in together. Growing radishes, making doozer sticks and eating radishes. That was pretty astute for old block head there. But the way he was so frantic to get the bomb out of there was pretty touching. I liked him alot then.

    I always thought Rizzo was kinda annoying. All he seems to do is eat and make snarky comments. His voice gets to me sometimes, too.
  16. BeakerJanice

    BeakerJanice Active Member

    Nah,I don't think someone is ,,annoying"...I like them all!
  17. Muppet Master

    Muppet Master Well-Known Member

    I like to think that he's a representation of Jim Henson's classic muppets, because he eats everything. Jim loved two things in muppets, eating and explosions.
  18. BeakerJanice

    BeakerJanice Active Member

    Ok,I don't agree with the most on this thread.Bunny has his really cute moments and piggy is very great!Animal's overrated,I like Janice the most.But that's not annoying!!I think,Pepe can be annoying,but not always.I think some monsters can be REALLY annoying.Like..they always eat someone and that was it!!What is that funny about that??

    Elmo..ugh..he was also in my childhood.*shudders*

    BTW:Is big bird a girl?!?! Or a boy?!?

Palisades Lunch Break

    So what are you guys planning for Ken's "Homecoming" then ?
  2. Lu775

    Ken's homecoming?
    Bring on the lapdances!

    Scary Swamp Monster??? Must be my icon cause I'm the office troll!!! Hey Slim whats it like doing package design for Palisades toys? I've always wanted to work for a toy company. You should thank the artistic GOD who brought you into the world you now know!!! KNEEEEEEL, KNNNNEEEEEEL BEFORE YOUR MASTER! :D

    Wow! Not only is Greg extremely artistic, but modest as well. He never let's anything go to his head.............:eek:

    "Lu775 - Ken's homecoming? Bring on the lapdances!"

    Yeah, Travis keeps telling us he's been practicing all week...I feel sorry for Ken...
  5. ResidentLilly

    ResidentLilly Active Member

    Live from the Hong Kong International Airport lounge...

    No matter how many lapdances Travis attempted to give me, he will never ever ever ever be able to even up the score when he gets his slimy mitts on the gift I picked up for him at a small Chinese toy consignment shop. Five on the card Fisher Price (I think FP) Sesame Street PVC sets. These are the three packs, with the Count and Big Bird and the like. Not in mint shape are the cards, but they are very, very good and the bubbles look REAL good. The best thing about them is the fact that they have all the Chinese and some other language I can't figure out price tags on them from when they were originally in stores.

    Don't know if these are hard to find or what...all I know is that they were hard for ME to find. If there is one thing Hong Kong has very little of, it's Muppet merchandise. Made it tough to find anything for Travis, who is the resident Muppet collector. Travis has lots and lots of dolls and plushy things. And you should see his Muppet collection.

    Ba Dum Bump....

    Yeah i've told him to stop looking through those adult mail order catalogues ..... enough to corrupt any doll collector !

    Welcom Back Ken!

    I've never been, but my best friend brought me some great Sesame stationary type items back from Hong Kong. It can be kinda fun trying to find things with wacky mis-translated captions.

    Hope you're sleeping off some jet lag!

    Re: Welcom Back Ken!

    Fave quotes from the stationary included:
    "My day starts with a cookie..and ends with a cookie"

    and from Ernie and Bert:
    "Bert and Ernie, they are always on my mind..and they are number one. Good friends are forever".

    Hong Kong did have some sweet Sesame stuff, it's very "in" over there, it cost me almost $10 CAN to buy a "Little Bird" mechanical pencil...but was it worth it...HECK YES!

    ElecMayhem Active Member

    I remember this thread. Weren't we going to try to overtake the "Ask Ken Thread"?

    It all makes sense now. Since Ken came back from Hong Kong, he has been taking us out to lunch everyday...

    I think he KNEW of our plan to overthrow his thread, and he distracted us by taking us away from our computers during our designated posting time.

    That evil b*****d.

    BTW, today is Keith's birthday (the big 13). So everyone wish him happy birthday. Today, my son, you are a man.
  10. Lu775

    Lu775 Member

    Are you sure it's really Ken? Maybe it's an evil clone sent back from Hong Kong to prevent you from posting to this thread and entertaining us with your lunch time antics.
  11. Slim

    Thank you, thank you. I feel sooo much older! Becoming a teenager is an amazing thing! Woohoo!!!

    Hey Happy Birthday Slim!
    Tell us, you having a big party to celebrate?
  13. ElecMayhem

    ElecMayhem Active Member

    You know Lu, now that you mention it, I don't remember Ken having that Chinese accent before... Or dark hair... (or much of any hair, for that matter)...

    Something's wrong... But I can't quite put my finger on it...
  14. Lu775

    Lu775 Member

    You realize that could mean the real Ken is locked in a broom closet back in the factory in Hong Kong!
  15. Luke

    Happy Birthday Slim - design yourself a birthday card from me ! :D
  16. Slim

    Slim New Member

    Nope, no big party planned. And, I was lucky enough that my work area was not completely destroyed like Ken's on his b-day!!! Whheew.
  17. ElecMayhem

    ElecMayhem Active Member

    ... wait...

    Ken... is... locked... what?

    I've been under the weather for the past few days, and I am having trouble processing all of this.

    So, if there's chinese man... here... and he's posing as Ken... That must mean that... um... Ken is...

    Oh crap.
  18. Lu775

    Lu775 Member

    Slim, They're not taking you to Chuck E. Cheese or anything? (I hear that's where all the cool kids have their parties)
    Well, hopefully there will be some cake and singing in your near future.

    Travis, I'm thinking...if there's a fake Ken here, then real Ken is still in Hong Kong. I dunno dude, this is sounding like a job for
    Super Dancing Travis!

    happy birthday keith! I finally got around to reading this thread...I started it when I first came on this board, but it didn't make much sense.

    Now that I have been around a while, and know who everyone is, I tried again. and...it didn't make much sense.

    But it was funny :p And totally prevented me from processing any family status changes all afternoon! So that's a good thing, right? RIGHT???

911 Turbo S set for Geneva debut

By SYF77 on 14 Feb 2010

Attached Image: Front.jpg
Porsche will be introducing a more potent version of the 911 in the form of the Turbo S at the Geneva auto show in March 2010.

The 911 Turbo S is injected with 30bhp over the standard 911 Turbo, bringing the horsepower up to 530bhp while torque stays put at 700Nm (516 lb-ft) including the overboost, 650Nm (479 lb-ft) without. Top speed is up just slightly by 3km/h at 315km/h. Fuel consumption remains the same as the standard Turbo at 11.4 liters/100 km, which is quite commendable for such performance.

Attached Image: Rear.jpg
All the options available on the 911 Turbo will be standard on the Turbo S. The 911 Turbo S will be equipped with Porsche's 7-speed PDK (double-clutch) transmission, Porsche traction management (PTM) for the all-wheel drive system, as well as Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), which includes a differential lock for the rear axle. Also part of the standard package is the Launch Control and Sport Chrono Package that help accelerate this 911 Turbo S from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds.

Other standard features include 19-inch wheels in an RS Spyder design and a two-tone leather finish in either Black/Crema or Black/Titanium Blue combination. The Turbo S will be available in both cabriolet and coupe body-styles, and is set to reach dealerships in Europe starting May 2010. Perhaps, we may see a local launch in Singapore before 2010 is out. Stay tuned!

Our Lady of Guadalupe de Cebu: A Homage

CEBU, Philippines - The feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe de Cebu gathers devotees to a euphoric state of holiness and bliss. With the holy festivity, Catholic faithful are in reverence to the patroness of Cebu whose miracles make people kneel down in deep prayer.

The Our Lady of Guadalupe de Cebu is the official patroness of Cebu City, although many presume that it is the Sto. Niño for whom the annual Sinulog is being celebrated.
The “debate on the technicality” of the Santo Niño being referred to as patron saint surfaced on the premise that “the Holy Child is a representation of Jesus, the Second Person of the Trinity and therefore, he cannot, as God, be considered a patron.”

Last 2002, Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal declared the Our Lady of Guadalupe de Cebu as the patroness of Cebu.
The declaration, however, brought dismay to some devotees of the Santo Niño who felt that such move stripped off the role of Santo Niño as the most important figure of the Catholic Church.

Catholic officials then explained that the move is not a desecration in itself because Catholic teaching requires that a “patron saint be a human saint who has gone to his or her heavenly reward and who prays to God on behalf of the living, rather than a divine being himself.”
Vidal, in one of his homilies, expressed that the declaration of the Our Lady of Guadalupe de Cebu as patroness of Cebu was by virtue of a pontifical decree dated May 9, 2006, issued by the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.
Vidal also recalled how the devotion to the patroness helped stop the outbreak of cholera in Cebu City in 1902.

Last 2006, in time of the Our Lady of Guadalupe’s coronation, Rev. Fr. Carlito Pono, the parish priest of Lady of Guadalupe de Cebu Parish in barangay Guadalupe, explained that there should be no confusion between the feast of the blessed image as a parish and its celebration as the patroness of the Archdiocese of Cebu, as well as the Feast of Señor Sto. Niño.
Pono said the Catholic faithful celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe as the patroness of the archdiocese of Cebu every July 16, while the one being celebrated every December 12 is the feast as a parish.

Monsignor Renato C. Beltran, Jr., Papal Chaplain of the Archdiocese of Cebu, also pointed out that the installation of the Our Lady of Guadalupe as the patroness of Cebu does not make Santo Niño less of a holy figure because the Holy Child remains a titular figure in the Catholic Church.
Moreover, the homage and respect people pay to the Our Lady of Guadalupe de Cebu has been justified by series of historical accounts. The faithful recall stories that the image of the Virgin first appeared in a certain cave in Banawa, a sitio in barangay Guadalupe.
The locals then traced the increased number of people devoting their plights and prayers throughout Cebu to the Our Lady of Guadalupe until she was declared the patroness of the archdiocese of Cebu.
Based on accounts shared by some folks, the icon used to be sheltered in the convent office in barangay San Nicolas, when Guadalupe was still called Sitio Banawa under barangay San Nicolas.

According to the locals, a vision of Our Lady of Guadalupe was seen in the cave of Kalunasan, which was then part of Sitio Banawa.
Because of the testimonies of the eyewitnesses of the apparition, the parish priest of San Nicolas decided to lend the icon to the people of Banawa annually, so they could celebrate Our Lady’s feast on December 12. The icon would then be returned back to San Nicolas the Saturday after.
This ritual went on until the 1920s when locals saw that upon the procession back to San Nicolas, the icon, which was then placed in a cart carried by four men, fell and landed on the ground upright.
According to them, the image rotated in such a manner that it faced the direction where it came from.

When the parish priest learned of the incident, he allowed the icon to stay permanently in the chapel, which served as a pilgrimage site.
Because of the strong devotion of the people, a new parish in Guadalupe was established on May 1, 1933. It was subsequently declared as Archdiocesan Shrine and devotees continue to flock in the hope of curing their ailments and marital problems, among others.
The pastor of San Nicolas, Fr. Emilio Mercado, also became the concurrent and first pastor of the new parish in Guadalupe.

Today, the Our Lady of Guadalupe stands a holy representation and significant embodiment of the people’s faith tantamount to the blessings they are receiving

Bid Old Business Goodbye

What's the world of business coming to? A job no longer comes with any guarantees at all. No guarantee of health insurance, no guarantee you will draw a pension, no guarantee that you will wind up with a job either.

Record numbers of once rock-solid corporations are cutting cost or bailing out by throwing employees overboard. Everyday some corporate giant announces it is laying off thousands of workers. I know because I am one of them.

Millions of workers are out of job. And those lucky enough to find a new job have to settle for a whopping 25% to 30% pay cut.

So thank the genius who invented the personal computer. The army of unemployed has taken to the Internet, causing an explosion of home-based business. And even if you still have your job, you can and should take part in this revolution.

An Internet-based business offers the best financial return available. And of all the businesses in cyberspace, Network Marketing could easily be your best bet.

That is because Network Marketing's company trains and helps you find and talk to others, who want to profit from this 21st century way of doing business. Furthermore, by using the Internet it help you to build and manage a successful business.

Network Marketing is the perfect answer for someone looking to start a new business. Here is why:

  • No large amount of start-up money
  • No office rent
  • No employees
  • No business experience
  • No fancy education
  • No expensive legal or accounting fees

You can start your Network Marketing business almost immediately. You would not have to raid your cookie jar or clean out the garage to make room for inventory either. You do not need anything at all except a computer and a telephone. That also can be scraped from the list because you can also do business off-line!

Wait until you hear about the load of benefits Network Marketing has to offer, including some killer tax breaks you will never enjoy as an employee.

So, give me a call or send me an email or comment if you have any questions that you still want answered.

This article was inspired by Zaharah Binti Abdul Manan. You can visit her at Go there now and take a tour. I am sure you will not regret it.

Insurance company sues Will County, Bolingbrook over ﬂood damage

Signs indicated Royce Road's closure due to flooding on April 18, 2013.
Signs indicated Royce Road's closure due to flooding on April 18, 2013.

Farmers Insurance Co. has filed a lawsuit against Will County and 12 county municipalities, including Bolingbrook, alleging local governments failed to properly act to prevent damage caused by heavy rains last spring.

The Will County lawsuit, filed April 17, lists the county and 12 municipalities as defendants: Bolingbrook, Joliet, Plainfield, New Lenox, Shorewood, Frankfort, Lockport, Manhattan, Channahon, Homer Glen, Naperville and University Park. Similar lawsuits were filed the same day in Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle and McHenry counties.

Stuart Brody, the insurance company’s attorney, and Trent Frager, spokesman for Farmers Insurance, both declined to say how much the company is trying to recover in damages.

The rain caused widespread flooding, and led Gov. Pat Quinn to declare 48 counties – including Will County – state disaster areas.

The Will County lawsuit – filed on behalf of the insurance company, those insured with the company and property owners who sustained extensive flood damage – alleges the county and local governments had “adequate time and opportunity” to take action before the flooding that took place April 17 and 18, 2013.

The Will County suit claims the county and local governments failed to safely operate retention basins, detention basins, tributary enclosed sewers and tributary open sewers/drains for the purpose of safely conveying stormwater, resulting in excessive flood damage to certain properties.

“Many sanitary sewer water invasions … were so rapid that geysers of sewer water shot out from floor drains, toilets, showers and other basement floor openings,” the suit states.

The heavy rainfall seen in Will County last spring was “not an Act of God,” the suit states.

Rather, the rainfall was “ordinary” and “reasonably foreseeable” and the towns were aware of known defects in their stormwater sewer systems and sanitary water systems based on prior investigations of sewer water invasions and prior studies.

On April 19, 2013 – one day after the two-day flooding event outlined in the lawsuit – the Shorewood River reached a flood crest of 11.53 feet, the second-highest level recorded since the National Weather Service began recording the river’s levels in 1942. The river’s highest-ever recorded level was in 1996, with a 14.03-foot flood crest.

The east branch of the DuPage River in Bolingbrook experienced record-high flood crest levels of 25.85 feet on April 18, 2013, topping previous NWS records dating back to 1996. Major flood stage for the East Branch of the DuPage River is 23 feet.

The Des Plaines River near Des Plaines experienced record-high flood crest levels of 10.88 feet on April 19, 2013. Without a gauge located at the river near Joliet, National Weather Service officials said they do not have historic levels for that particular location.

Frager said the company filed the lawsuit because it believes the damage caused was “completely preventable.”

“Farmers has taken what we believe is the necessary action to recover payments made on behalf of our customers, for damages caused by what we believe to be a completely preventable issue, as well as to prevent it from happening again,” Frager said in a statement.

Anastasia Tuskey, spokeswoman for County Executive Larry Walsh, said the office is aware of the lawsuit but has not yet been served. Citing the ongoing nature of the litigation, Tuskey declined to comment further.

Jim Boan, attorney for the village of Bolingbrook, declined to comment.

Mayors from several towns listed as defendants in the suit did not return requests for comment.

48-hour rainfall totals for April 17 to 18, 2013

• Naperville (DuPage County): 7.34 inches

• Plainfield: 5.48 inches

• Bolingbrook: 5.4 inches

• Manhattan: 5.1 inches

• Joliet: 4.21 inches

Note: The amounts were taken from 48-hour rainfall reports from the National Weather Service. In some instances, a municipality may measure rain in more than one location; the amounts listed were the highest total for that municipality

Cedar Point announced Sept. 2 that one of its steel scream machines will close permanently.
Mantis, which was billed the tallest, fastest and steepest stand-up roller coaster in the world when it opened on May 11, 1996, will shut down permanently at 8 p.m. Oct. 19.
Mantis has provided more than 22 million unique rides for passengers secured in a standing position on trains.
“It’s time to say goodbye to one of the park’s coasters, and it’s certainly been a different kind of ride for our guests,” said Jason McClure, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point.
Additional plans for the 2015 season will be announced a later date, according to the park.

Handling Front Desk Turnover

Ever feel like you finally have the front desk operators trained to book you exactly as you want your day to look like, only to have them quit? Ugh…it can be so frustrating. Whenever there’s a lot of turnover in the front desk, schedules and bookings take quite a hit. Adrienne has been feeling that hit lately.
One of the biggest pieces to making this the career choice for working moms is the fact that you can pretty much design your own schedule. With that schedule, you can design which services to perform and how much income you want to bring in. What an opportunity! Not many careers offer that. However, a few things have to work together in harmony to make that happen.
First off, always go back to the initial consultation. Before you start with each client, a “perfect consultation” must be completed. Inspiring Champions has a wonderful CD and book for that, or create your own. The questions must be open ended and focus on how you can best serve their needs. You’ll need to determine the client’s schedule, when she’ll need to come back for proper maintenance, and how she can pre-book.
I cringe whenever a salon owner tells me how busy her phones are and how overwhelmed her front desk is. That tells me that the client wasn’t properly pre-booked at her last visit, causing her to call in when she’s ready. And that my friends, starts with the nail tech.
By educating the client on how to properly take care of her enhancements, manicure, pedicure, etc. at the beginning of a relationship, you set both of you up to win. Pre-booking is the key to that success. To keep the phone calls at a minimum means less stress for the front desk. Not having as much front desk turnover means a ton less booking mistakes, and so on.
Now that those great receptionists have left, Adrienne has the opportunity to teach these new girls how best to serve her needs. We started by coming up with a cheat sheet. Anytime a new receptionist is hired, give them your cheat sheet. “How to Book Adrienne” can be just a page of bullet points and guidelines. Stick it on the clipboard or inside to door of the desk. Make it easy for them to find and follow. Spend some one-on-one time with them to answer questions. Adrienne had seven pedicures in a row last week. Though the money was great, her arms were about to fall off! Five is her limit for a day and they need to be somewhat spaced out. It’s easy for the front desk to just book a spot unless they understand your needs.
When setting up your client’s future appointments, take heed of how the day should look and develop an appointment rotation that already spaces those services out for you, taking the guesswork from the front desk away.
I know this isn’t rocket science folks, but these little reminders of setting up your day can make all the difference for you, your clients, and your co-workers.
—Heather, success coach

Infertility and Generative Dysfunction

NAITCM use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture to treat women and men fertility and reproductive health. TCM and Acupuncture have been used for these issues more than 5000 years.

At present the Infertility is a big issue for many Canadian or American couples they are considered to be infertile. Once a couple decides to embark on fertility therapy with conventional Western medicine, they often face years of expensive, time-consuming and frustrating treatments. The introduction and popularization of TCM and Acupuncture in North American, however, provides new options for infertile couples.

Recent success stories in the United States include celebrity Vanna White, who happily attributed her healthy baby to acupuncture treatments; and actress Annie Potts, who had a nightmare 15-year ordeal with conventional medicine until she discovered acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and Tai Chi, and safely delivered a 9-pound baby.

The key to successful fertility and reproductive health treatment is individual care. NAITCM use the most TCM and acupuncture methods to choose a treatment cycle is fit for you. We individualize treatment to maximize results. TCM results in an individualized treatment plan that aims to treat the root cause of disease, not just symptoms. Treatment plans vary in duration, number and types of modalities used. Your treatment will depend on your health history, treatment goals, condition and personal preference, and other factors.

TNU and NBC Online Education Programs Highlighted

Adult Christian Institutions of Higher Education

On October 31, a Chronicle of Higher Education article "Learning the Art of Virtual Instruction" discussed Trevecca Nazarene Universities desire to join the Christian Online Education revolution amongst a fear that it might be too late for them. In the article, TNU's very own Dr. Carol Maxson, the associate provost and dean of academic affairs said "The train had passed us by, and I was hoping that we could grab on to the caboose".

The good news is, our two Christian Institutions of Higher Education have been working together for about a year, and last month, Trevecca offered their first online course using NBC's homegrown distance learning delivery system dCourseWeb. The degree Trevecca has started with is a Master of Organizational Leadership.

To be fair, the article's main focus was about the challenges of properly training instructors to facilitate this somewhat new delivery method. To that end, they wrote about NBC's commitment to prepare our instructors properly. They mentioned the fact that instructors are required to take a two-week Orientation class side-by-side with real students, a six-week graduate level Introduction to Online Teaching class, and finally another graduate level Advanced E-Learning Techniques class before they are allowed to take on a class of their own. They quoted Dr. Phillips our vice president of online academic services and institutional technology who said, "[this] gives us more committed instructors in the end" and "I definitely don't have a shortage of people who would like to teach for us".

Well, it was exciting to read the article that will only be "freely" available for a day or two and I would like to thank Prof. Ron Attig for bringing it to all of our attention. It is a great honor for us to have the opportunity to work with some of the other liberal arts Nazarene institutions of higher education like Trevecca Nazarene University and Olivet Nazarene University and to think that a major national publication like the Chronicle of Higher Education would include us in their article is humbling. In an internal email response to this article, Sandy Sanders wrote, "This is also a great witness for Christ in a secular setting! RAH!" . . . I couldn't agree more.

When one-eyed filmmaker Robert Spence wanted to sell a documentary film idea of becoming an "EyeBorg," he installed a cheap LED light in his prosthetic eye. The simple addition instantly made his cyborg concept recognizable to potential business partners as he closed in on a possible deal for his documentary.

Bionic beings who are part-human, part-machine may sound like a concept that still belongs in science fiction stories. But experts say that cyborgs are already walking among us, and have been around for quite some time.

"Cyborg is your grandma with a hearing aid, her replacement hip, and anyone who runs around with one of those Bluetooth in-ear headsets," said Kosta Grammatis, an engineer who also worked with Spence on the EyeBorg project.

That illustrates the gulf between what experts and ordinary people think of when they imagine a cyborg (cybernetic organism). Many experts see a modern world filled with cyborgs, whether they wear exoskeleton robot suits and prosthetic limbs or pacemakers and eyeglasses. Yet the public still prefers the fictional Robocop and Terminator – science fiction concepts that have not yet become fully realized in the real world. [ 5 Reasons to Fear Robots ]

The stretchy definition of cyborg came up recently in an exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, which listed both the villainous Darth Vader of Star Wars fame and the heroic Master Chief from the popular Halo video games as cyborgs.

Few would dispute that Darth Vader fits the cyborg definition. His transformation from troubled Jedi Anakin Skywalker into the dark lord of the Sith forces him to rely upon mechanical limbs and a life support system that gives his breathing its classic menacing edge.

But Master Chief, a genetically enhanced "Spartan" super-soldier who wears an armored power-suit, seems a more unlikely cyborg candidate, according to popular opinion. More than 76 percent of gamers on the website Giant Bomb do not consider Halo's Spartans to be cyborgs, according to an informal poll conducted by LiveScience.

"What a cyborg is, in big part, is a fictional character from the future," Spence said.

From human to cyborg

The futuristic aspect of cyborgs weighs heavily on the popular definition, as Spence quickly realized. His conceptual success with EyeBorg's cheap light comes despite the fact that the prosthetic acts as a separate camera and has no functional connection to his body.

"Nobody calls people with a prosthetic eye cyborgs, but put in a $5 LED light and you look like the Terminator," Spence pointed out.

The Terminator also makes the cyborg list in the American Museum of Natural History's new brain exhibit. But whereas Darth Vader and Master Chief (and Spence) began their lives as humans, the original Terminator is a killer robot coated with living human skin and flesh – yet sci-fi fans regularly refer to it as a cyborg.

Popular depictions of cyborgs seem to fall all over the spectrum between human and machine. If Master Chief wearing a power-suit is at one end, then Darth Vader sits somewhere in the middle and the Terminator is at the machine end.

Then what about Luke Skywalker, the son of Darth Vader who loses his hand during a lightsaber duel?

"You see Luke Skywalker in a famous ending [of "The Empire Strikes Back"] opening, closing and flexing his hand," Spence said. "That's a classic cyborg moment – he's wondering if he's a cyborg."

Conscious computers

To add to the confusion, the museum's cyborg lineup is rounded out by the Maria "machine-man" from the classic sci-fi film "Metropolis" and the computer HAL from "2001: A Space Odyssey."

HAL's inclusion in particular pushes the definition of a cyborg to an extreme, and raises the question of whether or not an artificial intelligence that gains self-awareness represents some mix between man and machine without any organic parts.

"As far as we are aware, HAL has a machine/computer brain, which pushes us into philosophical questions about whether it can ever completely exhibit human consciousness," said Kevin Warwick, a professor of cybernetics at the University of Reading in England.

A computer that had a brain made from biological neurons would perhaps represent a more likely cyborg, Warwick suggested.

"The 'best' definition I have seen of a Cyborg is a human enhanced well above the norm by technology which is integral to the body – particularly integral to the nervous system/brain," Warwick told LiveScience in an e-mail. "I feel that this is the sort of cyborg depicted/required by science fiction."

That approach fits with Warwick's own self-experimentation as "Captain Cyborg." In 2002, he had a neural interface chip implanted in his arm so that it could directly interpret signals from his nervous system. He later demonstrated the ability to directly control a robot arm and receive feedback from fingertip sensors, and even experimented with a form of electronic telepathy with his wife (who also had an implanted chip).

We are all cyborgs

Still, Warwick said that some definitions would allow any human using any piece of technology – whether it's glasses, bicycles or pens – to count as a cyborg. Many other experts agreed with the most basic technical definition of a cyborg as a being that combines technology with human biology.

Humans are and always have been cyborgs, according to George Landow, a digital media scholar at Brown University. He pointed to "the most powerful of all technologies" in the form of language, and also included information technologies such as writing and math.

"Certainly, anyone who uses clothing or an umbrella is a cyborg," Landow said. "Anyone who uses medication, contact lenses, is well into cyborgism, and people like myself who have metal stents in their hearts and artificial lenses inside their eyes (after cataract operations), is definitely a cyborg according to the most conservative, cautious definition."

Todd Winkler, a professor of music at Brown, has even suggested that a pianist is a cyborg. The human musician knows how to play the piano without the instrument, but isn't really a pianist until he or she sits down at the piano.

Where we go from here

Something as mundane as a piano or clothing may indeed count as a cyborg component, but people view such things as commonplace, Spence explained. He suggested that technologies which already serve humans today may never quite satisfy the hankering for a really futuristic cyborg concept.

That implies the popular definition of a cyborg may simply be doomed to forever drift just out of our reach – never in the now, but always somewhere just beyond the future horizon.

"A cyborg is a human being who is augmented by technology," Spence said. "I'd say it's the most useful, super-technical definition, but it's the least fun. A lot of the point of defining a cyborg is to have fun."

Image: Rice in Ramallah
Nasser Nasser  /  AP
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a joint press conference with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, not seen, in the Palestinian Authority headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Saturday. news services
updated 7/24/2005 12:03:49 AM ET 2005-07-24T04:03:49

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice brought the “weight of the United States” to bear on fragile talks over Israel’s handover of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians, but she won no new commitments during a fresh round of shuttle diplomacy.

“There are discussions, meetings, going on between the two sides and I think they’re making some progress,” Rice said after lengthy meetings Saturday with Palestinian leaders.

“I think we can close many of these issues very expeditiously with enough will and perhaps a change in view here or change in view there,” Rice said in the West Bank city of Ramallah, where Palestinians have their headquarters.

The chief U.S. diplomat met separately with Israeli and Palestinian leaders over three days — the third time that has happened since she took over at the State Department in January.

Israel plans to begin withdrawing troops from the impoverished seaside territory in mid-August. Jewish settlers who do not leave voluntarily will be evicted.

Israel claims suicide bomber thwarted
Israeli security forces on Saturday said they had thwarted a suicide bombing when they captured a Palestinian in southern Israel wearing an explosive belt.

The man had infiltrated into Israel from northern Gaza and belonged to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah group, the army said in a statement, adding he had told forces that he had planned to detonate his bomb in Tel Aviv.

Forces seized him late on Friday outside the gates of the Nir Am kibbutz, not far from Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s ranch where he met U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice earlier in the day.

Army sappers blew up the bomb belt in a controlled explosion.

Gunmen kill Israeli couple
Palestinian gunmen opened fire on an Israeli vehicle traveling on the main road connecting the Gaza Strip settlements to Israel just as Rice was leaving the region early Sunday, killing a husband and wife and wounding four other Israelis.

Troops in the area clashed with the gunmen, killing one of them and were carrying out searches for the others, the army said.

With less than a month to go, Palestinians say Israel has failed to give any assurance it will allow free passage of goods and people into Gaza, which Israel borders on two sides.

Several other issues are unresolved and probably will linger through the period of the Israeli pullback.

Israel has held the Gaza territory for three decades. Under an international blueprint for peace, the land would become part of an eventual independent Palestinian state.

U.S. urged to apply greater pressure
Palestinians say the Bush administration is not using its position to demand that Israel, which receives more than $2 billion a year in U.S. aid, provide specifics on border access and other matters.

Rice could threaten, for example, to condition some aid on Israel’s performance in maintaining easily accessible borders, said Diana Buttu, a legal adviser and spokeswoman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

“She has incredible power and the incredible ability to change Israeli policies,” Buttu said. “That leverage, that ability to influence, is not being exerted in its full force. We’re hoping to see more.”

U.S. officials say that is not Rice’s job.

The U.S. has no formal role in the Gaza pullout plan, but it has tried to help guide the process. Washington is Israel’s closest ally and has been more involved than anyone outside the region in the long road toward brokering peace among Israel and its Arab neighbors.

“The Palestinians need answers from the Israelis and the Israelis need answers from the Palestinians,” Rice said. “We are talking to both parties. That’s why I’m here ... to help bring the weight of the United States.”

Plan faces obstacles on both sides
Israelis and Palestinians are meeting regularly to prepare for the withdrawal. Jewish settlers who see the land as part of Israel’s birthright oppose the pullout. It is viewed with skepticism by many Palestinians who say Israel never will fully relinquish control.

Among the practical questions are what to do with the remains of Israeli houses and commercial greenhouses the settlers will leave behind. A broader issue is how Palestinians will travel and conduct business between Gaza and the larger, separate West Bank territory.

Rice kept her Middle East schedule open to allow for as much shuttle diplomacy as needed, or perhaps a three-way meeting with Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

She saw Israeli officials before and after the visit to Ramallah.

Violence erupts during trip
On a side trip, Rice visited Lebanon, where elections have diminished Syrian political influence and car-bomb attacks have targeted politicians and others.

A small bomb went off in Beirut, the Lebanese capital, hours after Rice left on Friday. Much larger and deadlier bombings followed in Egypt.

“There needs to be a different kind of condition here in the Middle East so that extremism doesn’t flourish,” Rice said in Ramallah.

Rice was generous in her praise for Abbas, who took over as Palestinian leader in elections following the death of Yasser Arafat, whom President Bush shunned.

She commended the Palestinians for “ongoing efforts to enforce the rule of law in the West Bank and in Gaza.” That was a reference to recent clashes between Palestinian police and gunmen from the militant group Hamas. The U.S. lists Hamas as a terrorist organization.

The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

DAYTON, Ohio -- No overtime this time. Notre Dame's defense needed less than a half to end the drama.

Brittany Mallory scored a season-high 20 points Saturday, and Notre Dame's defensive pressure took its toll in a 78-53 win against Oklahoma that sent the second-seeded Fighting Irish to the regional final.

Notre Dame (29-7) will play top-seeded Tennessee on Monday. The Lady Vols (34-2) pulled away from Ohio State in the second half for an 85-75 win - their 25th consecutive - in the other semifinal.

Nicole Griffin scored 18 points for Oklahoma (23-12), which reached the Final Four each of the last two years. Notre Dame's go-for-the-ball pressure crumpled the Sooners' guard-driven offense, which had only eight field goals and 14 turnovers in the decisive first half.

It was the third time in the last four years that the Sooners and Fighting Irish met in the NCAA tournament. The first two games dripped with drama and went to overtime. Notre Dame won the first time, 79-75 in the second round in 2008. Oklahoma got the rematch, 77-72 last year in a regional semifinal in Kansas City.

Add a blowout to the budding rivalry.

Oklahoma (23-12) reached the Final Four each of the last two seasons. Their guard-driven offense led by Danielle Robinson (18.4 points per game) and freshman Aaryn Ellenberg (16.4) got rolling late in the season and pulled them through the first two rounds of the tournament.

They were under constant pressure from a defense that ranks third in the country in steals. There was a hand with green fingernail polish - a Notre Dame tournament tradition - reaching for every pass and every dribble. Robinson finished with 16 points on 6 of 16 shooting. Ellenberg had nine on 4 of 13 shooting.

Natalie Novosel added 15 points, and Devereaux Peters had 17 points and 13 rebounds for Notre Dame, which got the better of a turnover-filled, uptempo game. Each team had 24 turnovers.

Notre Dame opened with a 9-4 run that included three 3s by Mallory, who hadn't made more than three in any game this season. The senior guard was 0 for 10 from behind the arc in her last three games. She finished with a career-high six 3s.

Notre Dame closed the first half with a 21-4 run set up by the incessant defensive pressure. Notre Dame had nine steals and forced 14 turnovers in the first half.

The Fighting Irish suffered a setback when senior forward Becca Bruszewski twisted her left knee in a pileup under the basket early in the half. She tried to play but left the game a few minutes later and reared back in pain when a trainer checked the knee. She got up and limped to the locker room.

Bruszewski is Notre Dame's second-leading rebounder, nicknamed "Bruiser'' for her physical play under the basket. She missed most of the first half, returning with a brace on her knee in the closing minutes. She didn't return until the closing minutes of the half and finished with four points and two rebounds in 16 minutes.

Didn't matter. Even with that front-line loss, Notre Dame dominated the boards and pulled away. The Fighting Irish finished with a 48-25 edge in rebounds.

Maryland Teen Wins NEA-NFL Players Association Holiday Contest

By Will Potter

Tuesday, December 22, 2009 -- A Maryland high school student’s artwork was chosen as the holiday greeting to family and friends of NFL players this season, including his home team, the Washington Redskins.

Christopher Buchanan won an inaugural contest held by the NFL Players Association and NEA to design a holiday card for the football players union. His artwork, titled “Plowing through the Snow,” features a football player storming past the icy grips of a team of snowmen.

As part of the contest, Buchanan visited Washington, D.C., recently to receive a football autographed by one of his favorite players, Redskins tight end Chris Cooley. He and his father also watched the Redskins take on the New Orleans Saints from the executive suite of the players association at FedExField.

Buchanan, an 11th-grader at Charles Herbert Flowers High School in Prince George’s County, says he will excited to be recognized for his work because he hopes to pursue his artwork as a career.

“I pray that my son realizes and takes full advantage of his artistic talent and your recognition of that talent,” said Duane Buchanan, Christopher’s father. “I know his mom and I will continue to use it as positive reinforcement as he pursues future endeavors and higher education.”

‘Supergirl: The Complete Second Season’ Blu-ray Review

by Paul Metcalf

To many, Supergirl is an important superhero show. Not only is it a successful example of a DC show, but it also flies the flag for female superheroes. With the release of Supergirl: The Complete Second Season, things are bigger and on an even greater scale, but does that make it a success?

With Kara (Melissa Benoist) striving to make herself as successful journalist at Catco Worldwide Media, she also has to do the same as Supergirl. Working with her adoptive sister Alex (Chyler Leigh) and Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), the Martian Manhunter at the DEO, the stakes have never been higher. Thankfully, she has friends and family (including Superman) to help her save the day.

There are a lot of important things that happen in this season, which feel ground-breaking for the show. This includes the “coming out” of Kara’s sister Alex. This is important because of the way it is handled, and hopefully the message it brings with it to the fans. The problem I have is, although this is a good use of the family theme in the show, it is family politics that hold the show back somewhat. Thankfully though, Alex and her new relationship is not one of the negative points.

What we find with season 2 of Supergirl is that there are episodes that follow the formula of “do as I say, or I’m going to glare at you angrily.” We see this with the return of Jeremiah Danvers (Dean Cain). A man who works within an organisation aimed at ridding Earth of aliens, suddenly turning back up and expecting to be trusted 100% isn’t really something that is realistic. The problem is, as the audience, we are meant to accept that.

In a later episode, this situation happens again between Alex’s girlfriend Maggie Sawyer (Floriana Lima). She clashes with Supergirl over the handling of criminals, and the rule seems to be “never question Supergirl” which is annoying. Of course, the episode then goes on to show why Supergirl needs to learn some humility, but she is also right…and the cycle continues.

We also see this almost arrogant tendency with the character when it comes to James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) who fights to become a vigilante hero to find his place in the city. When Supergirl finds out, there is a self-righteous belief that this is something that only Supergirl should do, where in fact he actually comes to the rescue at times. The truth is, everybody can be a hero and while the show doesn’t really push that message hard enough, it is hidden there within all the family and friend’s issues.

When it comes to Supergirl (and Superman) we know there has to be a love interest, and in this season, it is Mon-El (Chris Wood). Another alien with family issues (played by Teri Hatcher and Kevin Sorbo) their relationship shapes the main story arc for the season. It is pretty badass to see Melissa Benoist and Teri Hatcher in a huge battle, and of course it is character building for Supergirl herself.

With all the drama and huge battles going on, there is a lot to talk about. To make the show work of course there has to be a good selection of actors. The main cast of course fits this bill, but where this show also shines is some of the more noticeable names. To see Dean Cain, Teri Hatcher, Kevin Sorbo, and Lynda Carter. With a cast including these people, where can it go wrong? Oh, and yes, it has to be mentioned that Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant steals the show.

With the added drama of the Luthors, there is a lot going on in Supergirl: The Complete Second Season, and for the most part it works well. With timely themes like the handling of asylum seeking aliens, thankfully it never gets heavy handed in the messages that it delivers. While the family issues can sometimes be a little annoying, for the most part Supergirl is a good show, and the second season show it at its best.

Supergirl: The Complete Second Season is available on DVD and Blu-ray now.

It's Your Business: Wendy's returns to Urbana

It's Your Business: Wendy's returns to Urbana

Wendy's is returning to Urbana after a seven-year absence — with a new franchisee.

Mike Allegro, who owns the Wendy's in Champaign's Campustown, plans to build a new one on Cunningham Avenue, just south of Arby's, according to Gateway Shoppes developer Ivan Richardson.

Allegro opened the Campustown store at 608 S. Sixth St. in February and said late last year that he hoped to open a Wendy's in Urbana in mid-2013.

Contacted last week, Allegro said he was traveling and might have more to say this week.

Allegro operates 16 other Wendy's restaurants in northeastern Illinois, with four in Kankakee County, five in Will County, four in Cook County and three in DuPage County.

Urbana has been without a Wendy's since September 2006, when the location at Race Street and University Avenue closed. That's now the site of Windy City Express.

New space for Concept

Concept College of Cosmetology plans to move to Gateway Shoppes this summer from its current location in downtown Urbana, according to Janet Trosper, who owns the college with her husband Paul.

The cosmetology school will take the space vacated by The Studio Salon, 202 E. University Ave., C, at the end of April. Concept College has been located at 129 N. Race St., U, for 17 years.

"We put a lot of improvements into the old space, but it's an old building," Trosper said. "This is all new, all state-of-the-art. It's like a blessing."

Everything will be on one floor, rather than two, making it easier for both students and clients, she said.

Trosper said she has told state regulators that the new place will be ready for inspection June 17 and she would like to be open July 8. That way, students can come to the new location when they return from summer break.

Hours for clients are expected to remain the same: 9:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and 9:45 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesdays.

Golden Goats grazing again

Remember the Golden Goats — the machines outside Jerry's IGA stores that gobbled your aluminum cans and paid you for them?

The machines have been put out to pasture for a few years, but some of them are grazing again, under new ownership.

The first two returned to service are outside Carpet Master Carpet One at 1040 Bloomington Road, C, and Helbling Auto Body at 501 E. University Ave., C.

According to Chris Greenwold, one of the new owners, the machines pay 25 cents per pound for aluminum cans.

Since January, about 60,000 cans have been deposited in the two machines, he said.

The machines were formerly owned by Ted Roberts, but they were recently acquired by Greenwold, Rich Jarboe and Travis Heath.

Now they're scouting for locations for two more machines. Greenwold said he would prefer spots outside businesses in Urbana, Savoy, Mahomet and Rantoul.

Businesses interested in providing space can contact him through the Central Illinois Recycling website,

Each machine takes up roughly the space of one parking place, he said.

Greenwold said he believed the machines were first put into operation in 1991 and one was still operating in 2010.

He said he and his partners consider the Golden Goats "more of a service than a business." He added he has great childhood memories of getting money for his cans from the machines.

"When I was a kid, I thought they were the best thing in the world," Greenwold said. "That's how I got my Nintendo."

Refashioned Secret

Victoria's Secret has begun a major remodeling of its space at Champaign's Market Place Mall and has moved to a temporary location in the J.C. Penney wing near the children's play area.

In other news from Market Place, General Manager Dennis Robertson reports that White House | Black Market opened Thursday in the northern part of the former Abercrombie & Fitch space.

Next up: Pink, which is scheduled to open June 7 in the southern part of the former Abercrombie & Fitch space. It previously was within Victoria's Secret.

Gigi to come downtown

Mary Murphy recently started a business, Gigi Downtown, that offers events and promotions targeted at women.
