|Flow Cytometry
Phospho-SAPK/JNK (Thr183/Tyr185) (G9) Mouse mAb detects endogenous levels of p46 and p54 SAPK/JNK dually phosphorylated at Thr183 and Tyr185. This antibody does not recognize endogenous levels of phosphorylated p44/42 MAPK or p38 MAP kinase.Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Hamster, S. cerevisiae
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr183/Tyr185 of human SAPK/JNK.
The stress-activated protein kinase/Jun-amino-terminal kinase SAPK/JNK is potently and preferentially activated by a variety of environmental stresses including UV and gamma radiation, ceramides, inflammatory cytokines, and in some instances, growth factors and GPCR agonists (1-6). As with the other MAPKs, the core signaling unit is composed of a MAPKKK, typically MEKK1-MEKK4, or by one of the mixed lineage kinases (MLKs), which phosphorylate and activate MKK4/7. Upon activation, MKKs phosphorylate and activate the SAPK/JNK kinase (2). Stress signals are delivered to this cascade by small GTPases of the Rho family (Rac, Rho, cdc42) (3). Both Rac1 and cdc42 mediate the stimulation of MEKKs and MLKs (3). Alternatively, MKK4/7 can be activated in a GTPase-independent mechanism via stimulation of a germinal center kinase (GCK) family member (4). There are three SAPK/JNK genes each of which undergoes alternative splicing, resulting in numerous isoforms (3). SAPK/JNK, when active as a dimer, can translocate to the nucleus and regulate transcription through its effects on c-Jun, ATF-2, and other transcription factors (3,5).

And…wait for it… then they bloomed.
Squash has an enormous blossom. I stepped outside this morning and said, "Gack! Where did YOU come from?" And the coreopsis waited until this morning to bloom. The last photo is just pretty morning glory and beeblossom. (Bees were really digging on the beeblossom this morning; I was outside later than usual, which may account for it.)

Who drives a hybrid here? I told someone recently that I've taken up cycling. She said that I wouldn't be a typical cyclist because I do not drive a fuel efficient car and that I'd never bike to work. Is that true about cyclists? What do you drive?

I can't drive...I keep saying to myself: two more years, two more years.
I'm definitely not a tree hugger, but it is cheaper to ride a lot of places, and I do consider myself environmentally friendly. The fact that it's better for the environment is a bonus. The idea that Portland could potentially become like LA makes it a bigger bonus.
I drive a used Corolla, because that what I could afford at the time. Personally, I prefer the utility of a pickup. I grew up on a farm and I have a hard time imagining not having a truck handy to haul stuff around (you know, tractors, balers, couple tons of hay, pigs, grain...typical college accessories).
The thing is, if I do buy a pickup for my next vehicle, I will most likely ride to work quite a bit more than if I buy a commuter car.
"The internet is a place where absolutely nothing happens. You need to take advantage of that." ~ Strong Bad
We own one car, a Civic, and I bike to work everyday with a few exceptions. That said, when it comes to inter-kingdom lovin', I dig the Creosote Bush.
We come close to being tree huggers..not quite...loggers need not level the ancient forests of the northwest or the Amazon...Don't believe in some of the menthods of the so called radical tree huggers...but, if loggers took down 300 year old forests in Oregon..We would have to morn..
we would like to think commercial tree farming could come a long way to providing our logging needs and not strip the forest in massive cuttings... and yes, we do believe the massive removal of the forests hurts the ecosphere in terms of green house gasses...
i don't even need to ride to work everyday. i walk. granted, i work at home.
still, i've only put about 15k miles on my car over the last couple of years, so that's a pretty good deal.
"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." - Leonardo daVinci
Believe me, the first chance I have, I'm getting my hands on my weekend drive, 9mpg ferrari. I certainly hope cycling doesn't become associated with a bunch of "radical tree huggers."
The so called tree huggers...The reality to many of us...Before the middle ages, Europe was as forested as say Ontario...millions of acres just gone. never to come back....Yes, progress...can't have the whole planet forested...Humans rule...But, lets leave something...Green stuff produces oxygen...Most of us need that stuff, just as we need food.. what about 1/3 of the earth's oxygen is produced by coral reefs...and the rest? I think, We have the capability of turning every acre of Earth into the Sahara.

Flux In-Ear Pro Headset
Featuring balanced armature driver technology, the Flux In-ear Pro headset is the most accurate headset SteelSeries has ever produced. Experience a new dimension in your favorite games, music and movies, thanks to the highly detailed soundscape of the finely-tuned balanced armature drivers. Our swappable cable system offers full compatibility with mobile devices, PC and Mac.
Wearing Over the Ear
For maximum comfort and fit, the Flux In-Ear Pro has been designed to be worn over the ear. This allows for a more secure fit and thus creates a better acoustic seal when in your ears. The better the seal, the better the listening experience you can achieve. Over the ear wearing style coupled with our included Comply™ memory foam ear tips will give you the best possible listening experience.
Swappable Cable Ends
The ends of the Flux In-ear Pro are swappable so that you can use your headset with not only your favorite mobile devices and Mac®, but also with your PC. A mobile end with a single three-pole 3.5mm jack and a PC cable with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a 3.5mm microphone jack have both been included.
Balanced Armature Technology
Most headsets, including all other headsets made by SteelSeries, are made with what is called a dynamic driver. This is simply the speaker inside the headset that moves air to create sound. The balanced armature driver requires no external air to produce sound. This means the driver can be made to be very small and it also means that it can be tuned very precisely. With this precise tuning the driver can recreate sound with an extreme level of accuracy providing an amazing audio experience in a very compact, comfortable design.
Under The Ear Or Normal Style
We understand that not everyone is used to the idea of wearing an in-ear headset over the ear. While we truly believe that over the ear will give you a better listening experience, this headset can optionally be worn down. To achieve this you must switch the earbuds' intended sides; place the left earbud in your right ear and the right earbud in your left ear.
Comply Memory Foam Tips
We have included memory foam tips for an even better audio experience. imply squish the tips with your fingers and put in the ear buds. The memory foam will slow expand to the shape of your ear and create a nice seal to improve the listening experience. You're welcome.
Silicone Ear Tips in Three Sizes
We have also included standard silicone ear tips in three sizes: Small, Medium and Large.
Carrying Case
We included a sleek carrying case to protect your headset. In addition, can hold your extra cable and ear tips.

Great clarity and very good mic
This review is from: SteelSeries Flux In-Ear Pro 3.5mm Connector Canal Headset
Pros: They have a very crisp sound, not overpowering in any specific range like some other earbuds & headphones. Various sized inserts make them adaptable to virtually any sized ear canal, and the memory foam inserts are AMAZING. They block out almost all sound, I'm unable to hear my phones ringing that are only a foot away when I use them. The mic works very well also, people are able to hear me clearly. Over the ear design took some getting use to but I absolutely love it, doing this completely eliminates the otherwise annoying "wire noise" you get with other earbuds when you touche the wire (think of the old string between two cups trick, same idea). The flat cord means they don't get tangled, and the separate plug ends for mobile/PC are a GREAT addition.
Cons: Although the audio is crisp, there isn't enough bass for listening to music with a heavy bass line (eg dubstep, techno, rap).
Other Thoughts: These headphones really shine for online gaming, and are great for video/audio conferencing. I've been using them at work on my laptop for video chat meetings, phone calls & online gaming during my lunch break. I've also used them with my phone for gaming and music and they're pretty awesome.

Best I've ever used
This review is from: SteelSeries Flux In-Ear Pro 3.5mm Connector Canal Headset
Pros: These earbuds or headset or whatever you call them are great in my opinion. I've never owned an expensive set of earbuds. I usually spend big money on "over the ear" headphones and these sound like I've got a really nice set of full size headphones on. Bass is very good...not subwoofer good but you're talking a speaker the size of your pinkie fingernail so for the size it's great. I love the ability to use these on my computer using the standard headphone/microphone jacks as well as my smartphone when I'm at the gym to listen to music. They come with a really nice small zippered case with a pocket inside to carry the different sizes of rubber tips and the PC or 3.5mm connector. One of the tips included is made of the a high density foam similar to memory foam and when used will cancel out any outside noise. These are really nice and work great but you don't want to remove them once in because it's kind of a job to get them in correctly. They'd be great if you're by yourself doing something like running on a treadmill.
Cons: I really can't think of anything bad to say about these. I guess I could say that it'd be nice if the cord was longer. My PC isn't sitting right in front of me so it was a stretch getting them from the floor to my ears. I assume most people would be using these with a smartphone or laptop and not a huge issue for most people. The newegg description also says that they are 9.8 feet long which is far from the truth. I think they are actually 1.2 meters which would be just under 4 feet.
Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a nice headphone but hate using those big heavy "over the ears" models I would highly recommend these for you.

Ear buds
This review is from: SteelSeries Flux In-Ear Pro 3.5mm Connector Canal Headset
Pros: Different size ear tips + a set of the comply ear tips
Cons: No ear wings, to help hold buds in your ear.
Other Thoughts: Mic is next to your chin and not down at your chess, less need to hold it close to your mouth so other people can hear you. the Comply foam tips are memory foam and they are best used if your running with them as they help hold them end, but they block other sounds like bikers coming up behind you.

Earbuds for audiophiles and/or runners
This review is from: SteelSeries Flux In-Ear Pro 3.5mm Connector Canal Headset
Pros: Extremely comfortable. They provide two malleable curved pieces of rubber to fix around the wire which wraps around follows the contour of your ear; no uncomfortable rigid plastic that can chafe when used during exercise. There are multiple sizes of earbud tips to ensure you've got a comfortable fit. It also includes foam tips – think of these essentially as those compressible hearing protection / ear plugs you can pick up at hardware stores, only with an opening to insert the earphones. These allow me to get crystal clear audio in noisy places; helps keep distractions out and focus high.
Cons: Only con I can think of pertains to the microphone – occasionally the people I spoke with had difficulty hearing me. But honestly? I've had to repeat myself more often using just my phone.
Other Thoughts: I know this probably sounded like a puff-piece, but that's only because of how impressed I am with the product. No one's giving the Eggxpert Reviewers any money for these reviews.

This review is from: SteelSeries Flux In-Ear Pro 3.5mm Connector Canal Headset
Pros: cord does not tangle easily
Cons: Bass gets lost at low volume and distorted with intermittent crackles at high volume
Other Thoughts: These are really impressive, but for the price I would have expected better... even audio quality across entire volume range, better quality control

Great Ear-Buds. Great Sound
This review is from: SteelSeries Flux In-Ear Pro 3.5mm Connector Canal Headset
Pros: - Great sound. Full bass
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Wow these things sound great. I don't play many computer games, but I was excited to try these out with my HTC One, while running. The sound is very rich and I was presently surprised as this is my first experience with SteelSeries and head phones. The bass sounded good with plenty of depth without sounding like it flattened out. The highs and mids were present and the overall song sounded "full". I pitted these against my 'in-ear' headphones that came with my HTC One. I was always impressed with the "generic" set that came with my HTC One but this set will now replace those. This set just sounds better. Simple as that. I do love the fact that both head phones share the flat cable design. This really helps things from getting tangled up and twisted.

Incredible Earbuds
This review is from: SteelSeries Flux In-Ear Pro 3.5mm Connector Canal Headset
Pros: These earbuds were great even from the moment I opened the box. Everything was well packed and they came with a nice little carrying case that would easily travel with you in your pocket, etc. First impressions before actually trying them out, I noticed that they came with a huge variety of tips , including memory foam ones, that I think just about anyone should be able to find one of them to be comfortable. For a moment they almost looked like they would be awkward to wear because of their shape, but they stay in my ear way better than all other sets of earbuds I have had in the past. They also have swappable cable ends to work with most popular devices. There is a button and a microphone on the cable as well so that you can use them with your phone. Now, for sound quality. From the moment I hit play I was just impressed with them. The first bit of music I played was some dubstep and breakcore, and the lows that these deliver are crazy for how tiny they are, I have never had a set of earbuds that went as low as these. I switched over to some metal, followed with some folk and classical. The sound range of these earbuds seems to be very balanced and full ranged, there is hardly anything they didn't reproduce properly. I have never had earbuds (I have had large headphones that do) make you feel bass in your head, but these ones did a decent bit and that was impressive. Needless to say, I think I just found my new favorite set of earbuds to travel around with me.
Cons: I could not find too many things to complain about with these, however I do have a few things I will make note of. The no-tangle cord seems to be more of a gimmick, but they are not too terribly easy to tangle if you take care of them right. The adapter with the other connectors on the end has 2 connectors, one for mic and one for the sound. I would like to have one more without the dangling microphone connector for when I want to use just the earbuds.
Other Thoughts: Final notes about these are as follows. For sound I will note that the sound reproduction and quality changes dramatically between devices, and because these respond in such a broad, balanced and, full manner, the sound differences are incredibly noticeable, but with a high quality source, they sound great. They seem to cancel out surrounding noise pretty well. They are fairly comfy to wear and I didn't have any issues using them for hours on end, though they do feel alittle like ear plugs to me

A Great Pair of In-Ear Headphones!
This review is from: SteelSeries Flux In-Ear Pro 3.5mm Connector Canal Headset
Pros: I was genuinely surprised by these headphones. From the moment I opened the box, it was clear that this product is well thought-out – the carrying case is very small, but can fit the headphones, and all of the included accessories, comfortably. The cables all feel high quality, and every connection feels firm and secure. The interchangeable connectors for smartphones and computers is brilliant – I have used them both, and they work flawlessly with my Galaxy Note 3 and the front panel of my gaming desktop, respectively.
Cons: My biggest gripe that I began to notice more and more as I worked my way through my music library was the disappointing level of bass that these earbuds are capable of delivering. The notes are there – 20 and 30 Hz tones are audible, but are much fainter than the rest of the frequency range. Response seems to become more linear around 50-60 Hz, which means midbass does not suffer as heavily. This deficiency did not bother me while listening to EDM, rock, pop, or show tunes, but became obvious when listening to hip-hop and rap. The beat that you expect is there, but very quiet. Attempting to fill the gap by adjusting the equalizer did something, but not enough to put bass on par with my other pair of earbuds (IE2s by a company that rhymes with "Rose" – which are overly warm-sounding compared to the Steelsieres). However, I am picking nits, especially with my listening style, and how well these headphones perform in every other category. Definitely not a deal-breaker. Note: Bass response is slightly improved by using a properly amplified source, such as a standalone headphone amp, or a receiver.
Other Thoughts: If you look at other headphones in this price range, you can clearly see that Steelseries has some big shoes to fill. However, as much as I can guess from having listened to these headphones and not the other, I believe they are well up to the challenge. My expectations were high with these earbuds, and they have been met and exceeded. I would recommend these headphones to anyone considering high-end in-ear headphones without hesitation.

Community perception: Slaying gives Duncan something new to be known for
DUNCAN — Until earlier this month, this southwest Oklahoma city might best have been known as the state's Crape Myrtle Capital. Or as a long-ago stop on the historic Chisholm Trail. Or the place where in 1919 Erle P. Halliburton founded his namesake oil and gas company.
No more.
International media glare prompted by the Aug. 16 "thrill killing" of an East Central University baseball player from Australia is casting the community of 23,000 residents in a far different light — one that paints Duncan as being racked by gangs and racism, overrun with guns and in the grip of unrestrained violence.
"I'm concerned the perception is we are some out-of-control small community that's living in the Old West, and that's about as far from the truth as it can be," Duncan City Manager James M. Frieda said Thursday while sitting in his office with a sweeping view of the city's tidy downtown.
Residents here are still reeling after three area teenagers were charged Tuesday in connection with the drive-by shooting of Christopher Lane, who was killed as he jogged along a residential Duncan street. Lane, 22, was in town visiting his girlfriend's family.
James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, have been charged in the case. Authorities allege Jones was driving, Edwards was a passenger, and Luna fired the fatal shot from the back seat. Police have said that Jones confessed that the boys followed Lane and shot him because they were bored.
The international twist and senseless nature of the crime helped fuel a frenzy of media coverage that included no shortage of commentary on issues ranging from gun control to youth violence. The shooting sparked outrage in Australia, with one former leading politician calling for tourists to boycott the U.S.
But residents and community leaders here say many of the factors that may have played a part in Lane's senseless slaughter are not unique to Duncan.
"I think it's typical of American life," said the Rev. Arnold Nelson, pastor of First Christian Church in downtown Duncan. "We have kids who have too much time on their hands and access to things that can get them in trouble and who have a pretty profound lack of imagination about what to do when they're bored."
Still, the killing prompted widespread sorrow, sadness and soul-searching in Duncan, he said.
"It's easy to idealize a place, but any idealizing going on has really been challenged by what we've experienced," Nelson said. "Now we know that anything bad that can happen can happen in Duncan."
An afternoon run
If he took the most direct route on his run that Friday afternoon, Lane left his girlfriend's house on Crescent Drive and headed north on Country Club Road. As he ran up a slight hill, he would have passed the manicured fairways of the Duncan Golf and Tennis Club on his left and well-kept ranch-style homes on his right. He would have run past the blue-painted tennis courts and a pond with a decorative fountain spraying a plume of water into the hot summer air.
A little farther on, he would have crested a rise and begun a blocks-long downhill stretch. It's uncertain if about a mile into his jog he noticed on his right the rundown house at the northeast corner of Palm Drive and Country Club Road with a crooked no-trespassing sign hanging on the front porch. It's here, at a house where juveniles are known to congregate, that police say the three boys watched as Lane ran past.
Police Chief Danny Ford said the suspects waited a few minutes before trailing behind Lane in Jones's 2003 Ford Focus.
At Plato Road, Country Club Road narrows, with curbs giving way to roadside ditches. As Lane passed Plato Elementary School, he began to climb another hill.
He had a half-mile to live.
A passer-by found Lane about 3 p.m. lying along the side of the road just south of Twilight Beach Road. He was bleeding from a single .22-caliber bullet wound in his lower back. He died a short time later at a hospital.
An impromptu memorial of flowers and photos marks the spot where he was found near three blooming crape myrtle trees and across the street from a pole flying a large American flag.
Community responds
The killing is having a profound effect on Duncan, prompting conversations in churches, kitchens and coffee shops across the city.
"Our sympathies, condolences and concern are with Chris's family," said Chris Deal, who heads the Duncan Chamber of Commerce. "This is not just a shock to the family, it's a tragedy for everyone. You can feel the pain in the community. This is not our normal."
Across the city, people are looking for some way to respond in a positive manner.
"People are shocked. They're angry, sad, and they're embarrassed," said Nelson, the minister.
Mayor Gene Brown sent a letter of sympathy and regret to the Lane family. Collection boxes bearing a picture of Lane and his girlfriend, Sarah Harper, have popped up at restaurants and businesses around the city.
A website was established to help raise money to pay for the return of Lane's body to Australia. A goal of $15,000 was set, but by 3 p.m. Friday more than $151,000 had been donated and the body had been returned.
Nelson said he'd like to consider using the extra money to pay for the construction of a youth baseball field in Melbourne, the hometown of Lane, who had come to the United States to play the game he loved and pursue a college degree.
"Something that would connect with that family," Nelson offered.
A message of thanks attributed to Lane's family was posted on the website Thursday.
"We want people to know we don't believe what happened was a reflection of the people of Duncan or Oklahoma," read the message, which also said any extra funds would go into a foundation that will make donations in Lane's name to causes he was passionate about.
Asked if he was saddened by how Duncan was being portrayed in the media, Nelson said that was "a secondary issue."
"The issue is that a young life was taken for no reason at all, and that family is going to live with that grief long after this isn't a news story. If it becomes a bad reflection on Duncan that pushes the community to be more imaginative about how it deals with young people, that will be a net gain for the community."
Duncan experiences little violent crime, murders are rare, and problems with juveniles are no worse than in any other similar-size city across the country, said Ford, the police chief.
"This idea that one spot is different from another is ludicrous," Ford said.
He added that race did not appear to be a factor in Lane's killing.
"In reality, three boys chose to randomly shoot somebody," Ford said. "That's the scary part about it."
Ford expressed concern about the proliferation of single-parent households, lack of supervision, violent rap music and the negative influence of social media that allows people to portray themselves as something they're not.
Ford said he doesn't believe any of the three teenagers were involved with gangs and does not believe the shooting was gang-related.
But photos on Edwards' Facebook page show stacks of hundred-dollar bills, a handgun, Edwards holding a rifle, and Edwards and Luna appearing to flash gang signs.
"If you play that long enough, you begin to believe what you say on social media," Ford said. "You get to where you think you can play out the role.
"People begin to see it and then you have to live it out or you're living a lie."
The killing also provided fodder for the ongoing national debate over gun control.
Nelson, the pastor, said he believes the case points up the need for some "grown-up conversation about accessibility to firearms."
"If I defend my rights, my freedom, to such an extent it gives license to someone else to do the wrong thing, well, then I have participated in a system that has denied that young man of his life. That's a hard conversation for any town in America to have."
Ford, the police chief, discounted discussion about the effect gun control measures might have had.
"If they hadn't had a gun, they would have run over his ass. They were out to hurt somebody," Ford said.
'Did we do enough?'
Duncan School Superintendent Sherry Labyer said she believes the shootings are indicative of broader societal problems more than they are a reflection of Duncan.
"This could have happened anywhere there is a breakdown of the family, where there is a lack of supervision, where children are not held accountable from the time they are able to know right from wrong," Labyer said.
She also noted the lack of resources for troubled students. She said Duncan has no psychiatrists, mental health facilities or the type of family therapy that can make a difference in children's lives. She said the 4,000-student district struggles to find enough teachers, let alone counselors who could work with troubled students.
"It's a critical need," she said. "I go back to the breakdown of the family. And then drugs are so prevalent. When you couple those two together, as a society, you're going to have these kinds of problems."
Labyer said she knows Lane's girlfriend, Sarah Harper, who she said was a star softball catcher and golfer at the high school.
"A Duncan Demon through and through,'' Labyer called her.
Labyer also knows all three of the boys accused in the killing. Although the police have said all three have had previous run-ins with the law, Labyer described them as bright and full of potential. She also knows two of their families.
"When you know those kids and you talk to them and you have relationships with them, done things for them, it's heart-wrenching," she said. "It's just heart-wrenching. And I am sad for their families. But that doesn't change the fact that what they did was permanent. That's the part I can't seem to get past. What they did to someone else is permanent. That's hard."
Labyer said the boys weren't isolated at school. Adults reached out.
"I know they made those human connections and tried to develop relationships," she said. "Did we do enough? If we needed to do something different, I honestly don't know what it would be."
Labyer said she hates to see Duncan portrayed as a racist, unsafe place to live.
"I find that tragic," she said. "I don't think that that's an accurate depiction of who we are. It's horrible. Just horrible."
Heightened fears
The shooting hiked tension in Duncan.
In the first few days after, police received a large increase in the number of people reporting suspicious activity, even though the suspects had been taken into custody the night of the killing, Ford said. They were arrested in a church parking lot after a resident on Ash Street called 911 saying teens with guns were outside his home.
At their first appearance in court Tuesday, the judge, noting that emotions were running high, warned those in the courtroom against any outbursts.
That evening, an anonymous caller told police that a group would be coming to Duncan High School the next day to shoot people. Police and school officials took the threat seriously, Labyer said.
On Wednesday, the district limited student movement on its campuses and bolstered the number of police at the high school from one to seven. Students who stayed home had their absences waived. By Thursday, school was back to normal except for a few extra police still patrolling the hallways.
Frieda, the city manager, said residents are both outraged and fearful.
"How could that happen in a town like this? It's difficult to answer," Frieda said. "The only thing you can do is react to it, reassure the community and let the outside world know that this is a good town. It's almost a boring place to live."
He said he's saddened and bothered by some media portrayals of the community.
He thinks assigning racial motives to the crime is wrong. He pointed out that one of the suspects is white and notes that in a city where blacks make up about 3 percent of the population, the mayor is African-American.
"I think that says something about the community," Frieda said. "This is not a racially motivated thing. This is a random act of violence."
He also discounted criticism by some, including the Ardmore branch of the NAACP, that the white suspect, Jones, was being given preferential treatment by receiving a lesser charge and being allowed to post bond while the two black teenagers were not.
"My answer to them is, how quickly do you think he'll make a $1 million bond?" Frieda said. "Because that's what his bond is set at. The charge is different, but the bond is still $1 million."
Luna and Edwards face charges of first-degree murder. Jones is charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact and the use of a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon.
All three face potential life sentences.
"The target was somebody who happened to jog by when they wanted to find out what it would feel like to murder somebody," Frieda said. "That's my perception."
The Rev. Nelson said he expects Lane's death will be a defining experience for Duncan, much like he said the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was for Oklahoma City.
"I think there will be people who measure time by that experience," he said. "It's a day that will live forever."
In reality, three boys chose to randomly shoot somebody. That's the scary part about it."

LGBT Manchester
: The Best Bars and Clubs on Canal Street
One of the largest LGBT centres in the UK, Manchester's Gay Village centres around Canal Street, located just south of the city centre, next to the Rochdale Canal. Its popularity amongst gay and straight visitors exploded after the 1999 TV series, "Queer as Folk", and today, the sheer abundance of bars and clubs on Canal Street has created a thriving nightlife scene.
Visit during the day, and you'll discover a more relaxed vibe. For a touch of afternoon decadence, head to the Richmond Tea Rooms on Richmond Street, a gloriously kitsch and colourful English tearoom. Its fried breakfast will cure even the most virulent hangover, or visit later in the day for a decadent afternoon tea, complete with cakes, pastries, scones, hot drinks and a glass of champagne.
If you need to walk off your indulgence, saunter towards Sackville Gardens for some fresh green air in the midst of the urban sprawl. Sit next to Alan Turing, gay icon and father of modern computing, and soak up the afternoon sun.
Although Canal Street is primarily known for its nightlife, quite a few venues also serve decent food. Walk over the famous fish tank in the floor at Velvet bar and restaurant, one of the area's originals. As well as serving delicious pizzas and steaks, Velvet hotel has some of the city's quirkiest hotel rooms for those who want to stay right in the heart of the village.
The Molly House, on Richmond Street, is a relative newcomer, and already a firm favourite. You can eat here, (it's famous for authentic Spanish and South American tapas), drink tea in the basement tearooms, or just hang out with a glass of real ale in vintage shabby chic surrounds.
Those with a musical theatre obsession will want to check out Oscars, while the community minded should visit Taurus, a well-established and vital part of the city's gay community. It welcomes a number of Manchester's social and support groups, as well as hosting art exhibitions and fringe theatre, and is even licensed to perform civil partnerships.
Vanilla is one of the city's oldest lesbian bars, and still one of the few venues aimed primarily (though not exclusively) at women. Alternatively, The Eagle is marketed more towards men and offers a great night out.
Drinking and dancing carries on into the wee small hours on Canal Street. One of the most popular Saturday haunts is Poptastic, at Club Alter Ego. Its soundtrack is aimed at "Indie Kids and Pop Queens", playing nostalgic favourites and club classics. Cruz 101, meanwhile, hosts a different event almost every night of the week.
Virgin Atlantic Little Red operates daily direct flights to Manchester from London Heathrow. Book your flight today.

I had gone to the doctor and blood work revealed that my liver enzymes were very high...Which is not a good thing. I began taking the liver detoxifier as directed on the label ...

Dripula Meets Goiterstein
By Mike Stevens
Helmut Chalker, also known as Count Chalker, used to be wealthy and owned his own Bed & Breakfast, but now, after being unmasked, he was broke and his business had gone t*** up. For he was in reality a vampire, and once the word got around, nobody was willing to risk staying at his B&B. He'd barely escaped with his life after the man who'd unmasked him, a reported named Karl Lackey, had then tried to corner him. He'd been poised to bite Lackey's neck when the bastard had sprayed him with mace. This had caused to lose control of his flying and then he'd changed back into human form. Luckily, he'd managed to change back into bat form just as Lackey swung a fire poker at his head. Chalker was left with no way to make a living and so he'd ended up here, "Colonel Scar's Halloween Traveling Show", where he was cast, ironically enough, as the werewolf. Colonel Scar had told him when he'd requested the role of the vampire that no one would buy him as the vampire. Oh well, he needed the money, so he became the werewolf.
Dr. Dan Goiterstein was trying to make his human-like creation feel more like a real person, not the cobbled-together piece of s*** he was, so he thought of taking one of his creations, Der II, to a show. There were no stage plays in town but he did see an advertisement for "Coronal Scar's Halloween Traveling Show", which sounded close enough. Der II needed to experience the things real people experienced.
'So I don't have any choice in the matter?' thought Der II. Well, he was having none of it. He'd go and pretend to be happy about it, just long enough to make his escape.
The audience was screaming as Count Chalker howled and bared his fake fangs from which, for those in the audience sitting close to the stage, fake blood dripped. 'This is ridiculous', he thought. He would never let actual blood didn't drip from his mouth; he wouldn't allow the precious plasma to go to waste like that. No, he would have sucked up every last drop, but the audience had paid good money to see a show, and he'd give them one. Werewolves didn't really exist, everyone knew that, but he'd sure make it seem as if they did. He crept on fake claws under the backdrop of a painted fake full moon up behind the fake farmer, howled and attacked.
Der II was sitting there watching the fake nightmare while planning his escape. He looked sickly, due to the white-face makeup he wore to conceal his natural (or, more accurately, unnatural) green skin color. He looked like some sort of clown in his dress. Dr. Goiterstein had made him conceal everything which might give him away by dressing as a woman. From his neck bolts hung bazaar-looking earrings, which made him look all-the-more ridiculous. Der II didn't know a lot, but he knew he made one butt-ugly woman and the neck rings only made his neck bolts even more noticeable.
Count Chalker looked out at his audience. They all were having a wonderful time. They were all dressed normally, except for this one woman his eyes kept returning to; man was she ugly!
Der II had decided; it was time. He told Dr. Goiterstein he had to take a leak and after staggering around trying to decide which way to go, made his way to the concourse and stumbled to a door which, when he opened it, proved to lead to the stage. Oh well, he had no choice, he'd been gone way too long. Out in the audience, he heard Dr. Goiterstein calling his name. There was no way in hell he was going back to the laboratory, so he entered onto the stage.
Count Chalker was doing his best to make it seem like he was a real werewolf, when the stage door opened and the same ugly woman he had noticed before, walked through it and onto the stage.
"Look mommy, an ugly woman with white streaks running down her green skin!" Der II heard from the audience. He was sweating under the glare of the arc lights illuminating the stage. Great globs of white makeup slid down his face, revealing his green-colored skin.
Count Chalker was hacked. Here was the ugliest woman he had ever seen, doing her best to steal the spotlight. Well, he wasn't going to take this. He strode over to the intruder and whispered, "And vhat iz it you think you iz doingk?"
Der II found himself confronted by the angry-looking wolf-man. He responded to the angry wolf-man's query by saying, "Der II sorry, Der II try to find exit door and Der II ended up here instead."
"Vell, keep you're voice down, and ve'll juss have to pretendd you're part of the act, before you ruin itt" replied the wolf-man.
"Oh, excuse Der II!" he answered.
Count Chalker said loudly, so the audience could hear, "Here comes an unsuspecting voman!"
Der II answered, "What you, stupid or something? You already tell Der II hi; you met Der II."
Count Chalker hissed, "Play along!" under his breath.
"Der II play along? We playing a game Der II missing?" he answered loudly.
"Oh, juss forget itt you dumkoff!" the Count replied.
Der II was perplexed. What was the wolf-man so upset about? "Look, tell Derr II where is door and Derr II leave."
Count Chalker gave up. "Itt iz right over dare!"
Dr. Dan Goiterstein couldn't believe it. There was Der II, on stage with a 3rd-rate actor portraying a werewolf, fully in view of the audience, who seemed confused and were being strangely silent, as if seeing a green-skinned ugly woman was a common occurrence. They must think Der II was a part of the show. He had to get Der II away before the audience figured out Der II wasn't part of the show.
Der II lumbered in the direction the wolf-man had pointed, but saw no door. It was a dead-end. Suddenly, Dr Goiterstein's voice sounded behind him.
"Der II, the game is over; the jig is up."
There it was again; a reference to some kind of game. He tried and tried to understand but to no avail. If this was a game he didn't know how to play; and what was a "jig", and if it was up he'd better be more careful, lest he trip over it.
Goiterstein went on, "You have no way out of here so you had better just come quietly to me and we'll go back to the lab."
Back to the lab? He wasn't going back there! In a panic, he walked towards the wall. If there was no door, he would make one. With that, he started punching holes in the wall.
"Der II, stop right now!" came the cry from Dr. Goiterstein.
"Der II say eat it, Doctor. Der II not go back, Der II never go ba—". His words were cut off by a roaring noise, as the entire wall crashed down over him.
"Der II!" screamed Goiterstein. He had tried to stop Der II from punching the wall, for he clearly saw just what was bound to happen, but Der II wouldn't listen, and now there was no point in screaming; Der II was dead, again.
Count Chalker had just been hacked at the girl, but hadn't wanted what had just occurred to her to happen. Well, screw this job; pretty soon the place would be swarming with police like locusts, asking a lot of questions, and as he was really a vampire, he couldn't afford to have the police around. He had too many skeletons in his closet, literally. He changed into a bat and just flew away.
Dr. Goiterstein was breaking to Miss Wood and their son that Der II, her husband, and his father, was gone. After he had broken the news to them, it was back to the lab for another try. Sure, this time it hadn't worked out, but try, try again!
