Well, well, well. Here we are in 2009, in the age of blogs.
I started my horror site back in 1996 or 1997 on GeoCities as a goof, and its format was basically what we now know as a blog, so I figured it would be an easy and logical leap to move everything over to Blogger.
Even though there have been a few extended hiatuses since college, I still enjoy writing new reviews as well as re-reading my old ones. I'm going to try to update more frequently, but between work and home, it's tough to find time to watch bad horror movies. Plus, it's a lot more fun with friends, and my horror-watching buddies now live all over the place. Nevertheless, I will persist for you, my loyal fan(s).
There's more coming, so bookmark this site, I mean blog, and stay scared...

Regarding short-term single-family rentals, Sandy Hogan writes, "A detailed inventory of what we have would therefore be the first step..."
I gently suggest that this is putting the cart before the horse.
I have been very naive in believing that the National Rifle Association represented gun owners of America in protection of the Second Amendment.
But the leadership, in response to the slaughter of innocent children with an assault rifle, while proposing more armed guards in schools, has revealed their true loyalty.
The NRA represents the manufacturers of weapons of mass destruction, not only in the United States, but also in the world.
We are pleased to hear that Mammoth Dog Teams owner Jim Ouimet finally got word this week that he will soon be able to move his dog sleds and gear into a covered indoor space instead of storing the irreplaceable and historical items in sheds and outdoors in the snows of winter and heat of summer.
It's about time.

Definitely look at Hypalon if you'll be in a lot of sun, although PVC is a bit easier to repair. I would lean towards AB, Avon or Carib inflatables - they will last you a significant period of time and the companies will back them up. 9'9" should be more than plenty for 4 adults, along with a 6HP engine. Don't go for anything smaller. We have an inflatable floor on our Avon and it's great for storage. A bigger dinghy is heavier and will require a bigger (more expensive and HEAVIER) engine.

dc.description.abstract | The rational design of an HIV-1 vaccine immunogen able to induce potent, cross-reactive, neutralising antibodies remains one of the single greatest challenges in the field of vaccine research today. Roughly a dozen broadly neutralising monoclonal antibodies have been isolated to date, and their epitopes represent important vaccination targets. Interestingly, apart from three that identify over-lapping epitopes in gp41, all of the broadly neutralising monoclonal antibodies target epitopes apparent on different conformations of gp120 (including the epitopes of PG9/PG16). Thus the gp120 monomer remains the most ideal template for immunogen design. Recently, epitopes in the C3-V4 region of gp120 have been shown to be major targets for early strain-specific neutralising antibodies in subtype C infected individuals. Autologous neutralising antibodies identify vulnerable sites on the envelope, and understanding the nature of antigenic "hotspots" on gp120 will help to guide rational vaccine design. This study sought to confirm in four individuals that the C3-V4 epitope was in fact apparent on monomeric gp120, and thereafter to better characterise the nature of viral escape from these antibodies. Using magnetic beads coated with one of 16 different recombinant gp120 proteins it was confirmed that the C3-V4 response was aimed at a monomer-specific epitope in all four cases. In two instances these antibodies were shown to contribute to autologous neutralisation, while in a third the existence of quaternary structure specific antibodies that could not be adsorbed with monomeric gp120 made this link impossible. In the forth instance transfer of the C3-V4 region was shown to expose a normally occluded epitope in the CD4 binding site. This research also provided evidence for other epitopes for autologous neutralising antibodies in C3, overlapping with the CD4 binding site and V5. Lastly, by introducing relevant escape mutations into the parental recombinant gp120s and then comparing the ability of these proteins to adsorb out anti-C3 antibodies, it was shown that while these mutations conferred complete resistance to neutralisation they did not prevent the antibodies from binding to their respective epitopes. The extensive characterisation of C3-related epitopes such as those described in this research should no doubt contribute to the rational design of a gp120 based vaccine immunogen aimed at eliciting broad and potent neutralising antibody responses. | en_US |

Wario Land: Shake It
Nintendo has announced that Wario is heading to Wii for his first, non micro-games, adventure on the console.
What makes this debut even better is the fact that Wario is going back to his roots, starring in a 2D platformer, reminiscent of the classic Wario Game Boy games. In Wario Land: Shake It! (Wario Land:The Shake Dimension in Europe), Wario will explore various continents in search of treasure and in search of Queen Merelda, who has been kidnapped by Shake King. But is Wario really worried about Queen Merelda? Or is he simply on a journey to find the Bottomless Coin Sack, a sack containing a never-ending flow of gold coins, which has really caught Warios attention? Featuring five different maps to complete, Wario Land: Shake It!, is packed with missions, which are challenges, set out at the beginning of each stage, such as finishing a stage within a specified time limit or collecting a special number of coins. Also seek out the hidden Treasure in each stage to obtain the special items held within them, then progress through the game and unlock further stages. The Wii Remote is held sideways in a traditional retro fashion when playing, and is shaken to activate Warios special moves throughout the game. Shaking the controller whilst on solid ground will unleash Wario's Ground Punch move that stuns all enemies on the screen. This move can also be used to manipulate surroundings and grant Wario access to new areas in the game. Shaking the Wii Remote whilst holding an enemy or money bag will make them spill their contents, whereas tilting the controller when Wario is at the wheel will see players steer the various vehicles through the stage.] Wario Land: Shake It! will be available Fall 2008. |

Does having a BCP with more progestin mean MORE or LESS androgen (if the pill has low androgen potency).
For example, ortho tri cyclen and ortho cyclen contain norgestimate, a progestin with low androgenicity. However, would ortho cyclen's constant level of higher progestin REDUCE androgen or would more progestin automatically mean more androgen? Trying to decide if i should go from OTC lo to regular ortho tri cyclen or ortho cyclen.

Product is assembled upon order. Please allow up to three business days for your product to be processed.
Applications | Reactivity |
Transfection | Human |
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Unconjugated) #6568 (-), SignalSilence® IKKβ siRNA I (+) or SignalSilence® IKKβ siRNA II #6378 (+), using IKKβ (2C8) Rabbit mAb #2370 (upper) or α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb #2125 (lower). The IKKβ (2C8) Rabbit mAb confirms silencing of IKKβ expression, while the α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb is used as a loading control.
Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Directions For Use
CST recommends transfection with 100 nM IKKβ siRNA I 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.
The NF-κB/Rel transcription factors are present in the cytosol in an inactive state, complexed with the inhibitory IκB proteins (1-3). Most agents that activate NF-κB do so through a common pathway based on phosphorylation-induced, proteasome-mediated degradation of IκB (3-7). The key regulatory step in this pathway involves activation of a high molecular weight IκB kinase (IKK) complex whose catalysis is generally carried out by three tightly associated IKK subunits. IKKα and IKKβ serve as the catalytic subunits of the kinase and IKKγ serves as the regulatory subunit (8,9). Activation of IKK depends upon phosphorylation at Ser177 and Ser181 in the activation loop of IKKβ (Ser176 and Ser180 in IKKα), which causes conformational changes, resulting in kinase activation (10-13).

COLUMBIA — Detective Joseph Jackson received the Columbia Police Department's Molly Thomas Bowden Officer of the Year award for his service in 2010.
The award ceremony was held in Columbia's City Council Chambers with uniformed officers, detectives, sergeants and civilians in the audience. Members of the Columbia Police Department were honored as nominees for a number of awards before the recipients were announced. Jackson, a stocky man with a dark mustache, wore a suit and tie adorned with a small tie clip, a miniature set of golden handcuffs.
"He's detail-oriented," said Sgt. Mike Lederle, describing Jackson's work ethic. "When he has a case, he treats it like it was his mom or dad who was the victim."
Lederle, who's worked with Jackson in the department's investigative unit, said he's well deserving of the award.
Jackson has put in countless hours for the department on cases such as the Aaron Hobson homicide last year. Six of the eight defendants in that case have pleaded not guilty to date, with the other two set for preliminary hearings in May.
"Interview, after interview, after interview" went into the investigations, Jackson said. "It's nice to be recognized."
During the reception, Captain Brad Nelson spoke to Jackson's character.
"(He's) one of the better detectives," Nelson said. "(He) wants to close a case for the right reasons."
"He's a leader within the department," added Officer Chad Gooch, who has worked with Jackson since before he became a detective. "Very professional."
Jackson began working at the department in 2003 in the patrol unit. He received his detective's badge in 2006.
Other awards given at the ceremony included:
- 2010 Civilian Employee of the Year – Brenda Douglas
- 2010 Rookie of the Year – Officer Brian Graff
- 2010 Supervisor of the Year – Sergeant Mike Hestir

Nice Delivery was fast...when I first scoped it out I noticed that a tag was wrapped around one of the threads on the throw....it pulled the already super loose weave ...and it can not be repaired....the throw itself was not what I had in mind...it was to loose of a weave and it does not fit the length of a double bed...which is what I intended it for....much to pricey for the quality. I would not purchase or recommend this item. But I have received many other quality items from overstock.com and will keep coming back...and there shipping is above average.

How to Clean a Chenille Throw
Soft and warm, chenille is the perfect fabric for luxurious throws. Chenille yarn is made from short pieces of fiber twisted around a yarn core. The fiber then stands away from the yarn, which gives chenille that soft texture. If you have a chenille throw at home, you may be wondering how to clean it. Owners of chenille throws can clean them gently in a washing machine or carefully by hand. Check out the following steps to help you learn how to clean a chenille throw.
Tips on Decorating with Throw Pillows
Throw pillows can bring together a room's color palette and design scheme, providing balance, elegance and visual interest to your home decor. Throw pillows can soften the look of a heavy leather sofa or add a punch of color to a wingback chair. Changing throw pillows is also an inexpensive and simple way to change the design scheme of a room. Either purchase new accent pillows or cover existing ones with new slipcovers, and then throw them anywhere, from your sofa to your bedroom chaise lounge.
How to Wash Throw Pillows
Part of keeping a clean house is making sure all of your decorative accessories are clean. Throw pillows covered in delicate fabrics, such as wool or silk, will have to be dry-cleaned, as will throw pillows stuffed with down or feathers. Foam-filled throw pillows with cotton covers or other washable materials, however, can be washed -- some even by machine. Nevertheless, even if a pillow appears washable, always consult the washing instruction label before attempting to wash a throw pillow -- or you may be in for an unpleasant surprise when you remove the pillow from the washing machine.
How to Throw a Golf Disc
Disc golf may not be a mainstream sport, but it is a creative lawn game that allows golf disc throwing to become a competitive sport. Disc golfers learn how to throw their discs for distance and accuracy and also learn to develop touch on shorter shots. It takes a keen mind and excellent coordination to become competitive at outdoor play and lawn games such as disc golf.
Tips on Throwing a Backyard Party

Dear friends and fans of Straylight Run,The band is also selling some rare vinyl in an effort to raise money for Haitian relief.
We are very sad to announce to you that we will be going on an indefinite hiatus. We call it a hiatus and not a break up because the band still enjoys working together and is open to the idea of doing so in the future. If it was up to us we would continue making music throughout this year and the years to come, but the unfortunate reality is that being in a band is a business and when business isn't good you can only keep going for so long.
We are still making plans to release the live album that we recorded at the end of our last tour. As of now there is no release date though, so stay tuned for more information on that.
We would like to thank everyone one of you who ever came to a show, bought one of our records, took us on tour or supported us in any way at all over the nearly seven years that we've been a band. We'd also like to thank everyone that has worked for us, especially Dave Stein, Andrew Buck, Dayna Ghiraldi, Shannon Kimball and everyone at Padell. We have had an amazing time and feel so incredibly grateful to you all for everything we've experienced throughout our years as a band. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

A cutting-edge method developed at the University of Michigan Center for Arrhythmia Research successfully uses stem cells to create heart cells capable of mimicking the heart's crucial squeezing action.
The cells displayed activity similar to most people's resting heart rate. At 60 beats per minute, the rhythmic electrical impulse transmission of the engineered cells in the U-M study is 10 times faster than in most other reported stem cell studies.
An image of the electrically stimulated cardiac cells is displayed on the cover of the current issue of Circulation Research, a publication of the American Heart Association.
For those suffering from common, but deadly, heart diseases, stem cell biology represents a new medical frontier.
The U-M team of researchers is using stem cells in hopes of helping the 2.5 million people with an arrhythmia, an irregularity in the heart's electrical impulses that can impair the heart's ability to pump blood.
"To date, the majority of studies using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac muscle cells have focused on single cell functional analysis," says senior author Todd J. Herron, Ph.D., an assistant research professor in the Departments of Internal Medicine and Molecular & Integrative Physiology at the U-M.
"For potential stem cell-based cardiac regeneration therapies for heart disease, however, it is critical to develop multi-cellular tissue like constructs that beat as a single unit," says Herron.
Their objective, working with researchers at the University of Oxford, Imperial College and University of Wisconsin, included developing a bioengineering approach, using stem cells generated from skin biopsies, which can be used to create large numbers of cardiac muscle cells that can transmit uniform electrical impulses and function as a unit.
Furthermore, the team designed a fluorescent imaging platform using light emitting diode (LED) illumination to measure the electrical activity o

- How to Read a Study Record
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if escalated/accelerated proton radiotherapy can improve the control of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and decrease side effects. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
To assess the therapeutic efficacy and toxicities of proton radiotherapy with escalated/accelerated dose for patients with medically inoperable stage I (T1-2, N0,M0) NSCLC.
Primary goals:
- Improve 2 years progression free survival at the primary site, and
- reduce acute and chronic toxicity
Secondary goals:
- Improve disease specific survival at 2 years.
- Study the potential of pre- and post treatment PET/CT in predicting clinical outcome.
- Study the role of biomarkers in predicting therapeutic response and toxicities.

Radiation: Proton Radiotherapy
87.5 CGE with 2.5 Gy/fraction for 35 treatments
Detailed Description:
A proton beam is made up of charged particles that have a well-defined range of penetration into tissues. How deep it can penetrate is decided by both the beam's energy and the density of the tissue through which it passes. As the proton beam penetrates the body, the particles slow down, and the beam deposits its dose sharply near the end of its range. This is a phenomenon known as the Bragg peak. By adjusting the Bragg peak, the doctor can deliver a full, localized, uniform dose of energy to the treatment site while sparing the surrounding normal tissues. The proton beam is ideal for treatments where organ preservation is very important, such as lung cancer. Researchers know that standard photon radiotherapy is not able to adequately control tumor growth. But unfortunately, it is not possible to increase the dose of photon radiotherapy without also significantly increasing the side effects. In this study, using proton radiotherapy, researchers will increase the dose about 40% higher than standard photon radiotherapy.
Screening Tests
Signing this consent form does not mean that you will be able to take part in this study. You will have "screening tests" to help the doctor decide if you are eligible to take part in this study. The following tests and procedures will be performed before starting treatment on this study:
Your complete medical history will be recorded. You will have a physical exam. Blood (about 4 teaspoons) will be drawn (within 30 days) for the routine blood tests You will have a computed tomography (CT) scan or positron emission tomography (PET/CT) scan of the chest, an MRI scan or CT of the brain, You will have a lung function test. Women who are able to have children must have a negative blood-pregnancy test. You will have a 4DCT.
Study Drug Administration If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will receive 35 treatments of proton radiotherapy (radiotherapy does not have to start on a Monday but it cannot start on a Friday; usually Monday through Thursday for 7 to 8 weeks). During the treatment, you will lie still on a table for about 30-45 minutes per day in the same position. The proton machine will deliver the dose according to the plan designed by the physician and controlled by a computer. You will not feel, see, or smell anything during the proton beam delivery.
During the treatment, you will be seen by a doctor and research nurse once a week to evaluate possible side effects. You will have a physical exam and you will have a medical history.
You will be taken off study early if the disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur. After finishing the treatment, follow up is recommended 6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, required every 3 months (+/-1 month) for two years, then every (+/-1 month) 6 months for three years, and then once a year for 2 years. You will have imaging tests (chest CT or PET scan), lung function test and routine blood tests (about 2 teaspoons) at the follow-up visits. You are allowed to have further chemotherapy or other treatment while you are still in the follow-up on this study. You should discuss chemotherapy with your medical oncologist.
This is an investigational study. Proton radiotherapy is FDA approved for the treatment of lung cancer treatment. Up to 40 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

If I ask you to give me a general sense of how a car works, I'm looking for you to describe the two or three main principals in a few minutes, not to open the hood, take apart your engine, and tell me everything you know.
General comes from the French word générale, which means "common to all people," but we use it for more than just people. You might inquire about the general habits of schoolchildren, or the general temperature at night in the desert. And when someone's a general in the army or another organization, like the Surgeon General of the United States, for example, that means they oversee everything. So "general" is a high ranking, because generals are in charge of so many.
