I saw this on booking.com and there was no review so i thought id give it a go. Well from the outset, the owners were lovely. very welcoming without being pompous. The room was ample size with a lovely clean air about it. Bed was very comfy. The en-suite was cleaned to a high standard. Very much home from home.... More

Here's a great Kickstarter campaign to fund: Zombie House Blitz. Zombie House Blitz is a speed-based card game where you compete with your friends to evacuate people from a safe house and keep them safe from zombies. By pledging to the campaign, you'll get a copy of the game yourself, and certain levels of giving will get your portrait, drawn as a zombie, and included in the game! A very cool way to immortalize yourself or a loved one. So check it out and help these guys turn this idea into a reality!

Also available in packs of 10 and 50.
]]>The in-production zombie(ish) film R.I.P.D. (Rest In Peace Department) got some unwanted attention yesterday when a local Boston priest condemned the film's crew for shooting outside of his church on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. Here's what the up-tight unhappy priest had to say:
"I think it's offensive," he said. "We're having prayer services where people can sit and process the events of 9/11, and this [movie] is the antithesis of that. It's work, it's violence and it's putting money ahead of the values that we should be about on that day."
I'm sure he didn't complain when they paid to shoot there. Anyways- R.I.P.D. is based off the Dark Horse comic series of the same name, check it out here and read the complete story concerning angry priests and movie stars here.
]]>Gypsy moths have been acting weird lately, and according this article, aptly titled How a brain-manipulating virus turns caterpillars into zombies, via Ars Technica, there's a reason: baculovirus. The peaceful little gypsy moths no longer want to just hide away in cool soil and stay safe from lurking birds looking for a quick snack, but now they want to DIE AND RAIN DOWN THEIR DISEASE ON ALL CREATURES.
"…baculovirus…The aptly named "tree top disease" makes the infected gypsy moth caterpillar climb to the top of a tree to die, liquefy, and release millions of infective virus particles."
These nasty particles then get swept up by rain and wind and find they ways onto everything. Yup, caterpillars could be the beginning of a full fledge zombie invasion. Okay, maybe not, but… ?

President Obama's administration drafted legislation this month that could give undocumented immigrants a pathway to citizenship in eight years, require employers to check workers' immigration status and increase penalties for those who break immigration law.
The ideas appear in three separate draft bills, obtained Monday by The Miami Herald, that closely resemble many of the reforms advanced in 2011 by Obama and, more recently, by Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
Both Rubio and Obama, for instance, support special pathways to residency for those students and soldiers who were brought illegally to this country as children. In the White House draft legislation, the proposal closely resembles what's known as the DREAM Act.
But in a sign of the politically fragile talks over immigration reform, Rubio reacted with a measure of fury Saturday when the proposals were first reported by USA Today.
"President Obama's leaked immigration proposal is disappointing to those of us working on a serious solution," Rubio said in a written statement that mischaracterized the White House's involvement in disseminating the bills.
"The President's bill repeats the failures of past legislation," the statement continued. "It fails to follow through on previously broken promises to secure our borders, creates a special pathway that puts those who broke our immigration laws at an advantage over those who chose to do things the right way and come here legally."
Rubio's concerns are more about what's not in the bills: more border security, improved tracking of immigrants who overstay their visas, a guest-worker program and an immigration system that attracts high-skilled workers.
Also the draft bills obtained by The Herald and USA Today show that, contrary to Rubio's concern, the plan wouldn't give illegal immigrants a chance to obtain citizenship before those who lawfully entered the country.
One of the draft bills, labeled "Title II Legalization," explicitly lists a section that says undocumented immigrants applying for legal residency must go to the "BACK OF THE LINE."
That section says an "alien" may not apply to become a lawful permanent resident for eight years or for "30 days after an immigrant visa has become available" for those who lawfully entered or attempted to enter this country.
The eight-year provision was an estimate — not a hard-and-fast policy proposal — for how long the lawful-immigrant line-clearing would take, an official said.
The White House insists it didn't leak the draft legislation and doesn't intend to push its proposals because President Obama wants to defer to Rubio and his fellow members of the Gang of Eight, the bipartisan group of senators hammering out an immigration plan.
Rubio, generally adored by the conservative pundits, has become the most high-profile Republican associated with immigration reform, which has largely failed due to GOP opposition in the past.
White House officials reached out to each of the eight senator's offices, including Rubio's, to soothe nerves and allay any concerns that the president was trying to trump the Senate's efforts.
"We've not proposed anything to Capitol Hill yet," Denis McDonough, Obama's staff chief, said Sunday on ABC's This Week program. "We're going to be ready. We have developed each of these proposals so we have them in a position so that we can succeed."

By Zak Stone
Many people think of Boston as one of the better American cities to be a car-less citizen, but the city's building codes don't necessarily cater toward the car-free community. For decades, the city has required architects and developers to include room for parking spots (as many as two per unit) in all new residential constructions, whether or not those residents actually need them. The result is that neighborhood space skews toward parking lots and away from greener uses.
Architect Sebastian Mariscal, calls such parking requirements "excessive and not representative of today's social and environmental demands. We want to build for people not cars."
His firm, Sebastian Mariscal Studio, might get a shot, if its proposal for a new, 18,000 square foot, mixed-use, 44 residential unit building in the Allston neighborhood gets approved: Its design doesn't include a single parking spot.
While the plan is currently making its way through the community approval process, Mariscal is confident that the neighborhood will embrace the project. He cites the stats that nearly half of renters in the census tracts surrounding the development don't own a car. And ignoring the constraints of designing for parking frees him up to include amenities like "a large public garden/plaza on the ground floor, 46 private green open-spaces, and community gardening beds on the roof"--a hefty amount of green space in a neighborhood with far more parking lots than parks.
"We cannot place all the responsibility for changing our city on the authorities," said Mariscal. "It is important that architects and community members work together to meet today's challenges with new ideas. We believe that every change, even those that begin at a small scale, can influence much larger changes across the city.
Boston has the capacity to take a forward-thinking stance on this issue given its density and infrastructure as well as its progressive community. Boston built the first subway system in America. It is a city of firsts."

My BrainPop Field Trip
I went on a field trip to BrainPop with my class. It was about how they make BrainPop's games, and movies. I got to meet different people who have different jobs for the movie's/ games. Here is what my favorite part was about the field trip and what surprised me. My favorite part of the BrainPop field trip was making our own storyboard. A storyboard is the script about the movie they're making. The script is based on what the movie is about. In the storyboard I got to make whatever I wanted. It was fun making up my own story about the character named Moby.
What surprised me is how quiet the office was. I thought that it was going to be a little loud, with a lot of meetings going on. But the meetings are in a separate room, behind the closed doors. I also thought that all the artists, and all the people that make the games will talk to each other, and share ideas. But every person was working by himself or herself. That was REALLY surprising to me.
BrainPop people explained how childern can write letters to Tim and Moby. In my class, we got two sheets of paper. One of the papers was the letter that said, Dear Tim and Moby. You can ask any question you want on that letter. On the second paper you have to write what do you want other people to learn. When BrainPop gets the letters, they do the research, so they can answer the questions, and they will make it into a movie. So everyone can learn about those answers.
It was so much fun learning about BrainPop and how the movies and games are created. I think the BrainPop is a great site to learn. It has a lot of games, and movies to learn about anything you wish. If you ever go to the BrainPop website, do you think that all the BrainPop games and movies are educational?

Trains Trough Disney!
I read a blog about My Holiday from Tiffany. It made me think of when I went to Disney. This is the sentence that made me think of my trip to Disney, "On the train there I read a book called Peter Pan."
The next morning, we took the train to Magic Calstle. It was dull colored. It went fast on the tracks. Many people were on the train. I was very excited to go to Magic Castle. There were car rides that I went on a least 5 times. Then I saw the Electric Parade. My brother was really scared. It was late when I went to sleep.
I took a boat to Magic Castle and then when it was time to go, Allen, my mom, my dad and I took a train.
Disney world was very fun. I hope you get to try everything I did on my trip too. Have fun at Disney!
My New York Life
Article posted April 20, 2012 at 06:49 PM GMT0 • comment (3) • Reads 258
Hi, my name is Nicole, and I live in Long Island, NY. I had two weeks of vacation for Easter, and I found a few places where you can go and have fun.
The first fun thing that I can think of is a place called Tanglewood Preserve. It is located in Rockville Centre. What you can do there is to look at some really cool animals. You can even hold a friendly snake, and a lizard with a blue tongue and very sharp claws! You can go outside to see two goats. They're dwarf goats. You can even get a tour. The tour guide will tell you stories about the animals that live there. One is a love story about a rooster and a hen. The other story is about smuggled baby turtles.
Another place where you can have fun is Eisenhower Park, the biggest park I've ever seen. There's mini golf with the holes numbered 1-18. I got to play with my mom, dad and my little brother. My dad got in 1st place because he knows the most about golf, and he also used strategies to hit the ball. My mom got in 2nd place. She didn't do well at first, but then she got better. I got in 3rd place. I did horribly at first, but then I didn't care, and then I got better. My brother got in last place. That's how he lost the mini golf game. There are other things you can do too, like ride your bike, barbeque or play at the playground, but that's another story.
The last place that I suggest to have fun is Christopher Morley Park. It's located in Searingtown. It's the second biggest park I've ever seen! It has three playgrounds, large, medium and small, plus a small fun area. Then, there's an outdoor ice-skating rink. Next to that is a pond. Watch out for goose poop!! Across from the big park are some courts. There is the tennis court, an empty court, a volleyball court, and a basketball court. There is also a fitness trail. It has a lot of fun exercise stations, where you get to work out .You should really try all of them!
I hope you will visit Long Island, New York, and you'll get to try all the activities I suggested to you. I also hope you have as much fun as I did at those places.

One of the big ideas in the book "Bud, not Buddy" is that family are people who care about you. Family can be your parents, grandparents or other people who care about you. I will explain who Bud is, and three examples how his new family cared about him. Bud is a ten year old boy who is trying to find his family. His mom died when he was six years old, and he was very unhappy in his foster home in the Ameses. The only memories he had of his childhood were in his suitcase. There was a flier with a picture of a man. Nobody told Bud who he was, but he thought he was his dad. That flier always made Bud's mom mad. Also, there were some rocks that his mom collected, and a blanket. After a long walk, he finally found his grandfather, Mr. Calloghway. This was a man from the flier. He was a musician, playing the violin. His band was called "The Dusky Devastators of the Depression." Bud's grandfather was bossy to Bud. But all the other people from the band were nice to him, and they cared about him. Bud started feeling safe and happy with them. He felt like he finally has a family. Here are the three examples how his new family cared about him.
First, "The Dusky Devastators of the Depression" band gave Bud a home in their aparment. They gave him food, shelter and clothes.
Second, they took Bud to a restaurant with them. They asked him questions about his mom. When Bud started to cry, Mrs. Thomas, the singer of the band, soothed him. He felt like he is at home with his new friends, who wanted to make sure he was okay.
The last example showing how Bud's new family cared about him was when Eddie, one of the band players, gave him a new saxophone. He wanted him to pratice and become part of the band. This made Bud feel like he belonged with the band.
The three examples from the book help me understand how important family is. Family takes care of you when you need them. They help to make sure that you have food, shelter and that you feel safe and happy.

Little Kid, BIG Problems
I was in the kitchen feeding my pet snake and my bunny. This is a story how I found and got all of my pets. My parents always say, " You should sell all of these pets!" I guess being 9 is not the age my parents want me to have a pet. Enough about now,let's get to the story! I was 5 years old and in my bedroom playing with my pet snake then suddenly...."BANNNGGG" The snake got out of the glass!!! But remember, I was only 5 so I didn't know that my snake would get out of its' cage if I let the glass door open. " Oh,no what was I thinking." I thought. I ran to dad screaming, " DADDYYYYY!!! The snake got out of the cage!!!" My dad was running too. My dad was thinking " Boy I never ran this fast since I was 7 years old." I started going the other way, but I was a little more calm. We looked all around the house but we just couldn't find my snake. So my dad picked up the phone and dialed my mom's phone number: 9_9-9__9 I never understood why my mom has a lot of 9's in her phone number, I'm guessing that she loves the number 9. Mom said, " I have a feeling that somthin' is wrong." My dad sounded pretty nervous. " Well, umm... , little Grace (me) lost her snake." I smiled. I knew once my mom heard it she'll say that I can get a new pet. Believe it or not I heard my mom's voice say, " Let her get a pet." My dad's nose scrunched up a little. I was 6 years old and still couldn't find my snake. My mom,dad,and me all went to the pet store. It took me some time to find a pet that I like. I walked from aisle to aisle. When I was almost finished with the 12th aisle, I stopped in my tracks. There it was, a cute baby bunny. It had a little brown and black mark on each foot. It was half black (incuding the head) and half white (not including the feet.) When I was 7 years old the on my birthday, my mom and dad brought my pet bunny to my party. It went right out to the open window. The good part was that my pet bunny was really in love with soft grass and suddenly he went to sleep. " I'm so glad I didn't lose my bunny on my birthday", I thought. Everyone rushed up to see my pet. I was really glad I had mostly girls at my party because they had a real good experience with bunnys! 1 month after my birthday I was playing in the dining room with my bunny and the living room window was opened. My mom was in the kitchen and made a clanging noise because she was washing the dishes. ZOOMMM, the bunny got a 3 second head start to the open living room window. I tried to catch him but, wow, the baby bunny was as fast as lightning. Anyway, I tumbled over my dad with a stack full of work papers which went flying all over the room. When I was 8 years old, I went to get some stuff from the basement and there was my lost snake slithering with me from 2 years ago. I was shocked for a moment. The snake was hiding behind an old cabinet. "Mom you'll never guess who I found!" My mom came next to me and said, " Well that's weird that a snake was living in our basement cabinet." Another thing that happend is that I found my bunny in a hole. A felt like I was in a fiary land. Wasn't that great? I was so happy that I found my pets and that they were healthy. I learned you need to be carefull and act responsibly when you have pets. From then on I took great care of my pets.
Hopes and Dreams
Article posted January 6, 2012 at 11:28 PM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 785
In September, I created goals for myself in my Hopes and Dreams blog. I created goals for myself because I want to get better at them. My goals were to be a better writer and reader, and to make lots of science experiments. The two goals that I reached are to become a better writer and reader. I reached being a better writer by writing in my diaries. I write stories and make up songs. I keep checking for spelling errors, and sometimes I ask my mom and dad for help. That's how I'm improving in my writing. I'm improving in reading by reading advanced stories.I think some are over my level! Also, I read for a long periods of time when I'm very interested in the story. That's how I reached my goal to become a better reader. I didn't reach my third goal to make lots of science experiments because I have a lot to do ( since my mom is making me go shopping with her, and I like to play sports). But I'm planning on doing more experiments. I have two new goals for myself. One is to become more efficient in doing my homework. Sometimes I procrastinate, and it takes long time to complete my homework. I do that because my 5- year- old brother, Allen. He is in kindergarden and he plays a lot. I just can't help thinking about playing with him, and then I can not concentrate! That is a goal I REALLY need to work on because he gets an oportunity to play more than I do. My other goal is to wake up earlier. I am picking this goal because I don't like to wake up in the mornig. My mom already knows this, so she always makes breakfast first, and then wakes me up. But then we have to rush, so we are not late for school. But I think band rehersals Tuesday and Friday mornings are helping me a little bit. I have to wake up extra early ( 7:00 am) on those days. I will keep my old goal to do more science experiments. I will ask some of my friends for ideas. I'm thinking of doing science experiments. I will ask some of my friends for ideas. I'm thinking of doing my science experiments on the weekends. Also, I can do it on school breaks and try to find the right material. ( Hopefully it'll be around my house.) Another idea I have is to try some experiments on the book my friend gave to me for her birthday. It has a lot of science experiments inside it. I know that because when it used to be in my room I liked to read it. Now I'm ready to start working on my new goals! I hope I can reach all my goals by the end of the school year, so I can have new ones for the summer.
Going Ice-skating
Article posted October 28, 2011 at 03:33 PM GMT0 • comment (2) • Reads 1127
My first time ice-skating My dad and I were going to Iceland, so I can learn how to ice-skate. I was thinking,"Ice-skating. One foot, than another, I can do this!" When we got there my dad yelled,"We're here!" My body trembled with excitement. When I went on the ice, I almost tripped and fell down, so I did a crazy dance. One of the teachers looked at my name tag and saw that my teacher was named Jenna. She pointed where Jenna was. I tried to skate to her spot, but I couldn't. I wobbled all the way there. Jenna looked sweet and kind, so I said to myself,"This is going to be the best ice-skating year ever!" I tried hard to do the same thing Jenna did,but I couldn't.This is what she told me to do: First,she told me to do a swizul. She said it's like doing a figure eight.Then, once I got the hang of the swizuls, Jenna told me to do S'es. She told me that it was like swiming in an S line, except you are not in the water, but your arms are like you are swimming. While I was doing it, I saw my brother and my dad. I really wanted to show them that I am a great skater.So I took a deep breath. The air temperature was like a freezer. I did my best to show them that if I try really hard, I can do it corectly. After lessons, there is practice.The practice is when you do all the stuff you learned from lessons and practice them.When I did the practice I tried my hardest to do the swizuls and the S'es. While I was practicing my swizul and S'es, I fell down few times.The first time I fell down, I got angry with myself. It was like I wanted to scream out loud, it was like I wanted to quit!! Next Sunday I was wiggiling in my seat. I was yelling in my mind "Drive quicker! I want to go to ice-skating!" We got there, whent inside and I started to put on my ice-skates. I got on the ice and started to do what Jenna said. I thought that maybe I was improving a little bit. When lessons were done, I stared to practice. The only two new things I Iearnd were spirals and pumps. A spiral is when you lift up your leg high, and pumps are when you pump your leg back and forth, just like you are a pumping up a broken tire.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Northeast Florida region is taking the spotlight on the national music stage.
More record labels and artists are booking venues in Jacksonville and St. Augustine than ever before.
One local record store owner is paying close attention to the sudden boom in big name acts coming to our area.
"Alan Parsons is coming and I would really like to see Alan Parsons. I also like the Steve Miller Band," said Ron Johnston, owner of Budget Records.
Alan Parsons is headlining The Florida Theatre on Feb. 20, while the Steve Miller Band will take the stage on Valentine's Day.
The Veterans Memorial Arena will host huge mainstream artists like Maroon 5 in April and Justin Bieber in August.
While officials in St. Augustine are expecting 25,000 fans to pack Francis Field in September to see Mumford & Sons. Tickets for that show go on sale on Friday, Feb. 8.
According to the programing director of X102.9, this recent influx of artists is a huge change for a region that was largely ignored for many years.
"Certainly since Big Ticket came to town and Welcome to Rockville came to town these big concert festivals we have going, it is now a destination for these bands to come off of those cycles," said Aaron Schachter, 102.9 FM programming director.
According to Schachter, there is still one thing holding the River City back from booking a venue as big as EverBank Field.
"We have a reputation of being a walk-up town when it comes to buying tickets. It's something the Jaguars experience on a yearly basis where we haven't had blackouts in a very long time but people wait until the last minute to buy tickets," said Schachter.
Which is something that scares a lot of concert promoters and agents of bands but according to Schachter, it's a reputation that is slowly changing.
Here are the most recent story comments.View All

This demo shows how the Move() procedure can be rewritten to allow for multiple layers on a single z level. You can use any of the code for whatever evil schemes you can dream up.
This system allows for many levels to be created. This could be used for a building with multiple floors, bridges, or even elevation differences.
However, this is more of a tech demo than anything else. It would be difficult to apply this to anything but a game with small maps because of the overhead created.
If you find any bugs post on the Floors forum.
Credit where credit is due: This demo is an expansion on Garthor's Quasiturf demo
Updates: (Full notes are included in demo)
Version 3.15 - 12/15/2010
-Added invisibility image which at least allows you to see yourself when invisible
This added a variable to mob named invisibleimage, just set this to whatever you want
and that image will be displayed when invisibility is set
Version 3.10 - 12/14/2010
-Now allows for invisibility
HOWEVER, invisibility has to be set at 90 or above and currently there is no way to
see_invisibile, it is just possible to make invisible
To do use the mInvisible() proc
-This reduces the number of possible layers to around 80, although such a high number
would still be hard to work with
Version 3.01 - 12/13/2010
Version 3.00 - 12/13/2010
Version 2 - 3/13/2007
Version 1 - 11/1/2006

RV Expert Center
Portable clothesline ideal for motorhome users
Many recreational vehicle owners travel to the coastline to enjoy the beach and the waves. However, wet swimsuits and towels hung up to dry are known for taking up room in even the most spacious motorhomes. Instead of struggling to find a place to dry outerwear, RV owners may want to consider purchasing a portable clothesline.
Similar to a clothesline established in any backyard, an RV portable clothesline allows users to simply clip up their laundry and move on with their day. Mother Nature does the drying for motorhome users who choose to attach the product to the back of their bumper. Travelers no longer have to worry about finding a couple of trees to set up an unreliable clothesline of their own.
"We use our clothesline all the time and can't imagine what we'd do without it," said one Camping World customer. "It was easy to install. Stores easily. Always getting used and keeps all the wet towels, suits, and clothes outside rather than filling up the bathroom inside! Highly recommended!"

Rushes Soho Shorts Announces 2012 Lineup
Press release from Rushes Soho Shorts Festival:
LONDON – Celebrating its 14th year, the Rushes Soho Shorts Festival announced the Official Festival Program for 2012. The non-profit event, which will take place from July 11 – July 20, 2012, is recognized as one of UK's leading international short film festivals, showcasing commercially produced and independent work with an equal focus on emerging and established talent.
The animation category offers a program full of unique graphic inspiration, taking audiences from inner worlds of the mind and imagination (La Détente, Psychic Land, A Long Descent) to far off planets (Phone Home, Botanical Nightmare), to a local north London pub (The Pub).
No matter where or when the action is set, it's the narrative that drives through. The telling of both old and new stories, spanning from the dawn of the age of man with Pythagasaurus (starring Bill Bailey, Martin Trenaman and Simon Greenall), through the tales of the Brothers Grimm (The Golden Bird) to current affairs in Bradley Manning Had Secrets, unveiling the truth behind the Wikileaks, and into a dystopian future in Robots of Brixton.
Expectations are challenged and characters are not always as they seem, whether they're wolves learning to love sheep (Friendsheep), a magnificent beast, worshipped and exploited (The Holy Chicken of Life Music), Cadaver's resurrected by love (starring Back to the Future's Christopher Lloyd, Fashion Icon Tavi Gevinson and Academy Award winner Kathy Bates), or lovely Disney-like princesses that quickly turn to become more like Scarface (Whistler).
Visit the Rushes Soho Shorts Festival website to see the full list of films in competition, including live action and music video categories. Tickets for the Rushes Soho Shorts Festival are now on sale at www.ica.org.uk .
This year's festival runs over 10 days with a wide range of events for everyone interested in filmmaking. Most events are free to attend as is signing up as a Festival Delegate to make sure you are kept up to date with the latest news and activities from the festival. Events include Brunch Sessions at The Hospital Club focusing on film production case studies social media, casting and guides on how to break into animation, commercials and music videos as a director. The lunch sessions at De lane Lea cover overviews on festival strategy, transmedia projects, the role of documentary in the modern news era, balancing independent film passion against making commercial work and a look at the latest software available to help you create great productions. The afternoon panels at the Applestore cover the 'Future of' key sectors within the filmmaking community and will provide insights into what to expect in the coming years. BAFTA will once again host the BAFTA/ RUSHES New Filmmakers Market with 16 events (Sunday 15th July) on wide variety of subjects for those looking to get in to and make contact with filmmakers and organisations.

Polyarteritis nodosa is a rare, but potentially life threatening, inflammation of the blood vessels (vasculitis) that damages the walls of the body's small- and medium-sized arteries. This damage slows the supply of blood and nourishment to the arteries, causing nearby tissue in many parts of the body to be injured or even destroyed. The disease most commonly affects the kidneys, the nerves of the arms and legs and the abdominal organs, although it can also involve the skin, joints, muscles, brain, heart, eyes and reproductive organs.
In individual organs, polyarteritis nodosa can have the following effects:
It is difficult to know exactly how many people have this illness because its symptoms can be confused with other diseases and other forms of vasculitis. One British study found that polyarteritis nodosa occurs in three or four of every 1 million people each year in the United Kingdom. In the United States, it may occur more often. According to one Minnesota study, it occurred in up to nine in every 1 million people.
Polyarteritis nodosa can affect people of all races and age groups, but most commonly strikes adults between the ages of 40 and 50. Men are affected about twice as often as women.
Although the cause of polyarteritis nodosa is unknown, some research has linked it to the presence of microscopic clumps of antibodies from the body's defense system, coupled with foreign proteins, such as portions of a virus. In some people with polyarteritis nodosa, the illness seems to be triggered by a viral liver infection, either hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
In some patients, researchers have found at least one autoantibody (an immune protein that attacks the body rather than a foreign invader) that appears to be related to the arterial damage of polyarteritis nodosa. This autoantibody, called antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, also has been found in the blood of patients with other vasculitic disorders, including Wegener's granulomatosis. However, most patients with polyarteritis nodosa do not have this antibody in their blood or tissues, and many experts do not believe this antibody plays an important role in this condition.
In most people, polyarteritis nodosa develops gradually over weeks to months. The first symptoms include fever, weight loss, weakness, a generally sick feeling (called malaise), muscle aches, headaches or abdominal pain. These complaints are called nonspecific, because many illnesses and diseases produce the same symptoms. Eventually, these symptoms are followed by specific signs of arterial damage to one or more organs. Depending on the location and severity of the damage, any of the following symptoms can occur:
Because polyarteritis nodosa can cause such a wide variety of symptoms, no two people experience it in exactly the same way.
Your doctor will review your medical history and medications you take. If your doctor suspects that you have polyarteritis nodosa, he or she will ask whether you have been immunized against hepatitis B. Your doctor may ask if you live a lifestyle that increases your risk of hepatitis infection, such as whether you share needles for drug injections or have unprotected sex.
After checking your body temperature and blood pressure, your doctor will examine you. Depending on your symptoms, the doctor will pay special attention to your skin, abdomen and heart, and to any neurological symptoms or signs. After the exam, your doctor may send you for tests to look for evidence of arterial inflammation and organ damage, especially in your kidneys. These tests may include:
Other blood tests may be done to check for other explanations for your condition.
To confirm that you have polyarteritis nodosa, your doctor may recommend that a sample of the involved tissue be removed (a biopsy) so that it can be examined under a microscope to see if an artery is inflamed. For example, a skin biopsy may help to confirm the diagnosis. As an alternative, your doctor may send you for an X-ray procedure called angiography, which can pinpoint aneurysms or other areas of arterial damage in the affected area. This is less accurate than a biopsy but in some cases, a biopsy may not be possible; for example, major arteries cannot be sampled without causing excessive bleeding or other complications. In such cases, an angiogram may be the best way to show evidence of vasculitis. Sometimes an angiogram using CT scan or MRI can show changes in blood vessels suggestive of vasculitis. Although a positive blood test for the antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody may support the diagnosis in some patients, this test alone is not enough to confirm polyarteritis nodosa.
Some people respond promptly to therapy and can taper off treatment over many months. Others require long-term treatment.
There is no way to prevent most cases of polyarteritis nodosa.
Being vaccinated against hepatitis B, and avoiding activities that increase the risk of hepatitis, such as sharing needles during intravenous drug use or having unprotected sex, may prevent hepatitis-related polyarteritis nodosa.
If you have no evidence of hepatitis and your symptoms are relatively mild, the doctor usually will begin your treatment with a steroid drug, such as prednisone, a powerful medication that suppresses the immune system and reduces inflammation. However, if you have more severe symptoms involving your heart, nerves or kidneys, prednisone will be combined with an additional immunosuppressant medication, such as cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan, Neosar) or azathioprine (Imuran). Full treatment usually takes at least one year.
If polyarteritis nodosa is related to hepatitis B or hepatitis C, you may be treated with prednisone to control arterial inflammation and antiviral medications such as interferon to fight the hepatitis infection. Sometimes, this is followed by plasmapheresis. Plasmapheresis is a process in which plasma is separated from the blood, cleaned of abnormal antibodies and then replaced. The overall benefit of plasmapheresis for polyarteritis nodosa induced by viral hepatitis is not clear.
See your doctor if you develop any symptoms of polyarteritis nodosa, especially if you live a lifestyle that increases your risk of hepatitis B or C, such as abusing intravenous drugs. If you experience chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe abdominal pain or a combination of these symptoms, call or get to a hospital emergency room for an evaluation.
With proper treatment, at least 80% of people with polyarteritis nodosa survive for five years or more after diagnosis, often recovering completely. In one study, the risk of relapse after successful treatment was only about 10%, although damaged blood vessels may cause problems, such as a heart attack, long after the inflammation has been treated. Without appropriate treatment, only 10% of people survive for five years after they are diagnosed.

Terminator Salvation Review – Explosive Mix of Old and New
Movie: Terminator Salvation * Trailer * | In Theaters: May 21, 2009 |
Runtime: 130 minutes | Directed by: McG |
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and language. | Gecko Rating: |
I love sequels that bring in lots of references from the preceding movies. "Terminator Salvation" does that, especially from the very first movie, "The Terminator."
You remember the story: Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor meets Kyle Reese, who was sent back from the future to keep her safe from Arnold Schwarzenegger's big, bad Terminator. In the process, Sarah and Kyle grow close, and she gets pregnant with John Connor, who later becomes the leader of the resistance movement against the machines and Skynet. John is also the one who sent Kyle back to protect Sarah – so that he could be born.
I don't know that I've fully grasped the concept of the first three Terminator movies until now. And it's because "Terminator Salvation" is told from the future point of view, whereas "The Terminator" was told from the current point of view (or at least, current when it was released in 1984).
In "Terminator" we see things from Sarah's point of view. In "Terminator Salvation," we see things from adult John's point of view in 2018. By this time, Skynet has destroyed most of humanity in a nuclear holocaust, and John Connor (Christian Bale) is leading a group of survivors known as "The Resistance" to keep the machines from killing them, too, and completely taking over. John is married now, to Kate (Bryce Dallas Howard).
There's yet another twist to the story, though, in the form of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a guy whose last memory was of being on death row years earlier. When he wakes up, it's to a post-apocalyptic world where giant robots are killing people and the Earth is a wasteland. Think "Road Warrior," only with robots.
Marcus meets up with Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) and a young mute girl named Star (Jadagrace). Reese jokingly tells Marcus that they're the "L.A. Division" of the Resistance. On their way to find John Connor, Marcus connects with another Resistance fighter, Blair (Moon Bloodgood).
About the references, I won't give too much away, but let's just say that "Terminator Salvation" pays homage not only to Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger, but also to the catch-phrase "I'll be back," among other things. Being a "Terminator" fan since the first movie, I was definitely geeked by all this.
As for the Terminators themselves, there are some really nasty new models we haven't seen before. And like the T-800 and other models that came earlier, these new versions "will not stop" until their goal is accomplished (i.e. whomever they're chasing is either dead or captured). To that end, we get plenty of chase scenes, explosions, and hand-to-hand combat.
If you're a Terminator fan, or a science fiction/robot movie fan, you should definitely check out "Terminator Salvation." It's intense, action-packed, and a nice segue into a reboot for the franchise. I predict more movies will follow.
The only reason I gave it four out of five geckos is because some of the lines were a little cheesy, and the ending was a little cliche.
Note to Parents: As you might imagine, this movie is chock full of action and violence, including explosions, gunfire, chase scenes, shootings, and stabbings. Wounded and mutilated humans are shown, though there's not a ton of blood. Language includes "hell" and "damn," as well as one "f**k" and a few "sh*ts." The overall good-vs-evil message is positive, and I'd say it's fine for kids 14 and older who aren't bothered by all of that.
