Drama is no stranger to Tiara James. When it felt like the world had finally changed the hand that she d been dealt, reality continued to creep up on her. With a mom on the verge of becoming an alcoholic and an alcoholic crack-addicted father who use to beat her mom in front of her, who could blame Tiara for finding a family on the streets. Tiara s loyalty to her friends was undeniable. The crew consisted of, Tiara, Tamika, Shavon, Renee, Ke Ke and Karen. They jumped, robbed and fought other girls who stood in their way. When trouble surfaced, the crew had no problems with getting their hands dirty. Tiara was faithful to her crew handling any drama that presented itself. But when jealousy get s the best of friends, things continued to get ugly. With an older brother Tre James wrapped deeply into the streets becoming a drug dealer at 13, their younger brother Sharod had no choice but to admire both Tre and Tiara s lifestyle. Tragedy continued to hit home and Tiara s life continued to go down hill. She lost people who she loved and trusted the most to death, jail or betrayal. From welfare, section 8, jail, drugs, abusive relationships and lies, Tiara s future seems uncertain. Will she finally rise above the drama that meets her at every corner, or remain trapped in the jaws of the hood? Brace yourself as Tiara James takes you on a rollercoaster ride in her footsteps, in her hood, telling her story.

This Thursday, August 12 features music from Aminal and Butterflies! Both are from Chapel Hill.
You might remember Aminal from our concert series Friday's on the Lawn. They played for a crowd of people, blankets, and picnic baskets. Hooray for indie pop! Come on Thursday to bob your head and tap your toes!
From Chapel Hill and signed under Trekky Records, Butterflies will be opening up at Tir Na nOg this Thursday. "Butterflies reimagine indie pop in laid-back folk environs… contemplative (though hopeful) soul searching of… frontman Josh Kimbrough, who gets help from a revolving cast of friends… including pianist/ girlfriend Katie Zickefoose. She adds generous harmonies." -Spencer Griffith, Independent Weekly
Local Beat recap 7/30/10
Jenks Miller and Heather McEntire of Mount Moriah got stuck in heavy traffic on the way to the station, and, unfortunately, we only had around 12 minutes to chat about the band and their brand new limited edition 12" called The Letting Go during the first hour of the evening. We discussed the history of the band and their future as far as releasing their upcoming album is concerned. We also promoted their sold out show at the Pinhook with Midtown Dickens and the Mountain Goats Saturday, July 31. Jenks and Heather run Holidays for Quince Records, and each is in several different bands, including Un Deux Trois and Horseback, and are two of the busiest people I know. It was interesting to talk about their other projects in relation to Mount Moriah. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I had to hold back many of the questions I had for them, but what we did talk about was certainly fascinating and worth a second listen:
Mount Moriah on The Local Beat 7/3/10
At 6 p.m., John Booker and Rachel Hirsh of I Was Totally Destroying It came in to promote their new 7" The Get Big 7", which is officially being released at Tir Na Nog this Thursday for Local Beer Local Band (alongside Museum Mouth, Jews & Catholics, and The Beast). The new single is being released by their record label, Greyday Records and can be purchased at any local record store as well as online or at their shows. If you buy the vinyl, it comes with a digital download and bonus track! I also had to ask them about their band name and their answer might surprise you! Listen to our interview as we talked about the new release, IWTDI's upcoming shows, and their penchant for wearing costumes on stage:
IWTDI on the Local Beat 7/30/10
Alex Iglehart and Wylie Pamplin of Calico Haunts came in at 7 p.m. for their first-ever radio interview to promote their first show in Raleigh since 2007, which was at the Berkely Cafe Saturday evening. We also debuted some brand new songs from their upcoming record that is scheduled to be released in October this year. Many of you might be familiar with Calico Haunts last release After All, which was one of The Independent Weekly's albums of the month last year. Unfortunately, the band dissolved shortly after the release and little promotion was done for the record. A short time later the band was pieced back together and they started recording a follow up album only to have their work stolen two weeks before it was scheduled to be finished. With all of these mishaps you might think the band would throw in the towel. Listen below for their side of the story and their reactions:
Calico Haunts on the Local Beat 7/30/10
HUGE Local Beer Local Band Night this week! FOUR BANDS! WHOA!
This Thursday, August 5 will be a bit more intense than your typical Thursday Night at Tir Na nOg. The Tir Na nOg and WKNC team have outdone themselves this time to bring you FOUR mega-awesome bands: I Was Totally Destroying It, The Beast, Jews and Catholics, and Museum Mouth. Furthermore, this is an 80's Dress-up Dance Party and 7" release celebration, which will also feature DJ Johnny B Spinning the best 80's hits!!! There will be even more local beer varieties to choose from! This show will start 9 p.m. on the dot! 21 and up, of course.
I Was Totally Destroying It
If you find yourself at Tir Na nOg on other nights rather than Thursday, then you might have caught their other musical project I Was Totally Destroying U2 where they cover all the hits of U2 while offering spot-on Bono impersonation. Well guess what… they have original tracks too! Which are way better than U2 in my opinion.
The Beast
You might remember The Beast because they were featured on the Hear Here music compilation. They're a delicious hip-hop group that has entertained Raleigh listeners for a while now. Be sure to catch them live this Thursday!
Jews and Catholics
A review from Patrick Culliton describes this duo in brief: "How can two people make this much noise? Machines. Guitar, bass, sequencers, hands, throats. Machines. One wing beats rust, the other glisten. A Jew, a Catholic; a boy, a girl. Isn't tension what our attention's after? Do you like to dance, even a little, and sweat, even a lot? We're all lost in the woods, thank God. Jews and Catholics can fly deeper in."
Museum Mouth
This Thursday will be the first time I will see Museum Mouth live. I am incredibly excited, as I am listening to them now. Grungy, sort of angry about something, indie rock. Already I am drawn to the lead vocalist. Fast-paced music paired with this lady's wonderful, almost lazy-like singing voice is working for me in so many ways.
See you there, friends!
The Beast and Orquesta GarDel make sweet music in the WKNC studio
If you've been following along with us these past two Fridays, you'll know that we've been participating in a small interview series featuring many of the talented acts at this spring's Shakori Hills Grassroots Music Festival. Last week, DJ Mick and DJ Kligz sat down with Bowerbirds and the ever so comical Inflowential. On this particular Friday, I had the pleasure of interviewing two great local bands, The Beast and Orquesta GarDel.
As an avid local music lover, The Beast, of course, was no stranger to my earbuds. I last caught the band last at WKNC's fall Fridays on the Lawn series where they opened for Kooley High. Obviously, I was going through a bit of a withdrawl, and with promises of on-air free-styling from Pierce Freelon, the Beast's front-man, the interview was too hard to pass up. Orquesta GarDel was a newcomer to my music pallet. Based in strong Latino roots, GarDel plays classic and modern salsa music with a sound heavily influenced by the New York-Puerto Rico connection of the 1970s. Eric Hirsh, Beast's keyboardist, is also a major part of GarDel, which has ultimately led to some interesting collaboration in the past. I won't give away too much, but I experienced firsthand the powerful forces and talent when these two groups collide. Be sure to check out the whole interview including the free-style performance:
Part 1: The Beast. The Beast
Part 2: Orquesta GarDel.Orquesta GarDel.
Part 3: Shakori Hills.Shakori Hills
Part 4: Free-style "Ahora" GarDel and Beast. Free-style "Ahora" GarDel and Beast
Next Friday, tune in to DJ Kligz as she will be talking to The Honeycutters as they gear up for their performance at Shakori that weekend.
Fridays on the Hills (Shakori Hills Grassroots Music Festival)As most of you know, the spring edition of Shakori Hills Grassroots Music Festival (April 22nd-25th) is rapidly approaching. For those of you who don't know about the festival, Shakori Hills is a four day experience, which exhibits various dance, art, and music. With over 50 bands performing on four stages, we wanted to give you a taste of some of the talented acts of the festival. Due to various N.C. State baseball games interrupting the much beloved Local Beat during April, we've asked some of our favorite Shakori Hills musicians to join us in the WKNC studio earlier on Friday afternoons for the remainder of the month.
Take a look at who's dropping in:
This Friday — April 9th, 2010
Inflowential (1-2pm w/ DJ Mick and DJ Kligz)
Bowerbirds (2-3pm w/ DJ Mick and DJ Kligz)
Friday — April 16th, 2010
The Beast and GarDel w/ Special K 2 to 3 p.m.
Friday — April 23rd, 2010
The Honeycutters (11am-12pm w/ DJ Kligz)
If Fridays weren't already your favorite days of the week, then hopefully WKNC will change that with these great interviews. Be sure to tune in online or at 88.1FM. Also, check out our spring Fridays on the Lawn concert this Friday on Harris Field at N.C. State featuring local bands Aminal and Bright Young Things. The show is free and so are the t-shirts and pizza. Don't you just love Fridays?
Eye on the Triangle recap: 12-07-09
Last semester was quite the semester for N.C. State University and its image. The University was in national news — and it wasn't pretty, whether it dealt with decisions administrators made, budget cuts because of the economy or corruption within the higher-ups. This image problem affected faculty, staff, students, donors and alumni alike. However, last year was also a great one for local music, with many memorable events bands have taken part in. So, for the last episode of the semester, EOT brought you an N.C. State semester-in-review of news and sports, and a review of some of the things the local music offered you and the surrounding the community.
Tom Anderson and Mike Alston filled in for Evan Garris to bring you this week's local, national and international news. Listen to the podcast if you missed it for updates on the Obama exit strategy for the war in Afghanistan, bipartisan opposition to the Honors Services Law, the most recent bombings in Pakistan, the creation of the new aircraft: Spaceship 2, Raleigh's rating as the 21st city in the nation with the "best bang for the buck," former State Senate Democrat Cal Cunningham running for U.S. Senate, a Gastonia murder trial and more.
I interviewed former student body president and current senior class president, Jay Dawkins, and Student Body President Jim Ceresnak about N.C. State's image, the good, the bad and the grades they give its issues — ranging from the former N.C. first lady Mary Easley's scandal, which caused the resignations of the University's three top leaders, to the Rally 4 Talley campaign, to research developments at the University. Although Jay and Jim seemed to remain optimistic, it's clear the University has its work cut out for it. Listen to Jim and Jay's analysis here:
John Cooper Elias, Tyler Everett and Derek Medlin gave us a wrap-up of the semester in sports, a football rundown and expectations for the next semester as well as next year for several sports, including men's soccer and men's and women's cross country. We also discussed the firing that week of Volleyball Coach Charita Stubbs due to what can be considered a terrible tenure for her with the team, as well as the incident surrounding what she perceived to be a racist cartoon, which was actually intended to show that the volleyball team was finally winning some games last season. Be sure to check it out the whole podcast if you missed it:
Kelly Reid gave us a list of best local moments of 2009 including Bombadil shows, the Raleigh Undercover event, the journey to the Love Language's Debut album and more. Be sure to check it out if you haven't:
Hear This
Mike Alston sat down and spoke to Eric Hirsch and Pierce Freelon from The Beast to talk about some of the programs and "hip hop" curriculum the members take to N.C. schools. Hirsch discusses the importance of music and scholarship, and how the band was able to put the two together for schools around the nation:
Community Canvas
Damian Maddalena sat down with Logan Scarborough, Forestry Club president and senior in forest management. Scarborough talked to us about the club and its activities, including its forestry competition, Rolleo. Listen to the fyll segment here: Wolfpacker of the Week
As always, be sure to let us know what you think/want to hear more or less of at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll be back in action for the spring semester — same time, same place!
EOT15 Year in Review
Mike and Tom start with the news. VIP has Jim Ceresnak and Jay Dawkins cover NC State's past year. Community Canvas covers The Beast work with NC schools. Hear This recaps 09 in local music. Logan Scarborough is our Wolfpacker of the Week.

'Amityville' Was Delayed Because… (Exclusive)
Some bummer news hit a week ago, announcing the delay of TWC-Dimension's Amityville, which was to hit theaters this coming January.
Now, we're being told one of the potential reasons behind the push.
A source who wishes to remain anonymous explains that the studio held two separate screenings for Amityville: The Awakening (this I have confirmed), and the feedback was overwhelemingly positive.
The main issue audiences had with the Franck Khalfoun-directed sequel was with the ending, resulting in the Weinstein execs to order re-shoots. In additional to some additional photography (to spruce up the movie), the effects work was falling behind. The delay gives more time for post work, such as the VFX.
Lastly, the reason for the indefinite delay is that star Cameron Monaghan is in the middle of shooting the new season of "Shameless", and his schedule is unclear.
Our multiple sources tell us that the plan is to finish everything after the November holiday and aim for a mid/late summer 2015 release.
In the film, "Belle, her little sister, and her comatose twin brother move into a new house with their single mother Joan in order to save money to help pay for her brother's expensive healthcare. But when strange phenomena begin to occur in the house including the miraculous recovery of her brother, Belle begins to suspect her Mother isn't telling her everything and soon realizes they just moved into the infamous Amityville house."
It stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bella Thorne, McKenna Grace, Cameron Monaghan, Taylor Spreitler, Thomas Mann and Jennifer Morrison.
[Review] 'Legend Of The Hillbilly Butcher' Looks Great, Carves Slow
Before the found footage craze hit horror, we had endless "me-too" films being done in the Grindhouse style. And like most fads (like found footage), it was done to death by indie filmmakers. Don't get me wrong, it was a cool concept and harkened back to the days of old, but hinging your film on a particular style can only take you so far. Enter director Joaquin Montalvan's Legend Of The Hillbilly Butcher, which takes on the Grindhouse style while also paying homage to Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Sounds like a natural fit, but is it style over substance?
Carl Henry Jessup (Paul E. Respass) is a backwoods hunter whose local delicacy amongst his neighbors is serving up tresspassers (aka people). In fact, his late daddy left Carl the same butcher knife he used in his own cannibalistic activities. The only people whom Carl calls family are his half sister Rae Lynn (Theresa Holly), and best friend Billy Wayne (Chris Shumway). Carl misses his parents after their tragic murder-suicide. He tries to summon them to live again with the help a demon named Sam Bakoo. Unfortunately, Carl's soul isn't worth the price, and in turn sets off more trouble for the cannibal.
Might as well start off with the film's Grindhouse claim, which honestly is pretty damn impressive. The film really does look like it's been through the ringer, sporting a faded, scratched up and otherwise ugly-looking picture. Unlike some indie productions which basically take the quick and easy guide in Adobe After Effects, Montalvan put forth a real effort in making the image look bad in a good way, while not phoning it in and doing it with the standard default settings. It really does give the film character. The same goes for the gore effects. Granted, they're done on the cheap, but the post effects on the image help to mask this and look better than they normally would.
On the acting front, Paul E. Respass does an adequate job as Carl Jessup. Respass was able to take an obviously flat character script-wise and give it some depth, particularly with the demon subplot. Speaking of which, casting the scrawny-looking Allen East as Sam Bakoo gave the role a bit more weight (I see the irony in that) than if it were played by a more ordinary person. Theresa Holly is a treat as Carl's half sister Rae Lynn. She's very charming in the role, and does give the character much-needed sympathy in a film where the majority of it's characters don't exactly lend themselves to it.
Remember that "style over substance" quip? Yeah, unfortunately that's the case for Hillbilly Butcher. Beneath the cool look of the film lies a script that has a serious pacing problem. Long dialogue sequences punctuated by long pauses, long stalking sequences and a just plain long runtime make this more of a chore to sit through than anything. When things do happen, the low budget origins sneak up and disappoint us with a real lack of gore. And that's another problem with this film, as it doesn't go all-out with it's concept of a cannibalistic hillbilly. If the concept was explored and developed further, rather than going the artsy route with the dream sequences involving Bakoo, it probably would've been more exciting.
As it stands, Legend Of The Hillbilly Butcher is a missed opportunity. True, it does an excellent job of establishing a Grindhouse look and feel that many low budget films fail to grasp, but it suffers with not fully embracing it's concept, including it's painfully slow pace. It's a shame, since Montalvan, his cast and his crew really seemed to be fully invested in creating a great film that attempts to pay homage to Tobe Hooper's classic. Hopefully Montalvan will be able to put more into his next film than post-production work.
The 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer for the majority of the film purposely attempts to replicate the grungy look of an old Grindhouse film as much as possible. The shots that aren't purposely fiddled with in post sport strong colour saturation and fairly good detail. As for the rest of the film, it really does look like an old VHS tape of a film that wasn't in the best of condition in the first place. As such, colours are faded, dirt and scratches cover the image, as well as out of focus shots and in some instances the image has a slight shake to it. Very impressive post-production job!
Unfortunately, the Dolby Digital 2.0 track is a sore spot. The overall loudness of the film is very unbalanced. Normal conversations are sometimes hard to hear, but when characters shout or scream, the levels are blown out and it's distorted. Ambient effects also suffer, as they're either too quiet or too loud, making their additions in post pretty obvious. What makes things worse is that the disc doesn't come with any subtitles. It's tolerable, but just keep your remote handy for quick volume adjustments.
First up is Gutting Da Hillbilly Butcher, an hour-long making-of doc. Consisting of talking head interviews with cast and crew, with director Joaquin Montalvan doing much of the talking. Topics include everything from the origins of the film, how the look of the film came about, casting choices, how the cast went about preparing for certain scenes, sound design, effects shots, how to morgue breathe (?!) and more. It's pretty in-depth for a low budget film of this nature, though the continued use of the filters used in the film on the raw footage is kind of annoying.
Following that is a six minute short film Straight Razor, which was Montalvan had filmed prior to starting on Hillbilly Butcher. Shot in a similar Grindhouse-style to Hillbilly Butcher, the film is pretty surreal and has some weird imagery.
Horror Happens Interview is an 29 minute candid interview from the Home Grown Radio NJ show, Horror Happens. The host of the show, Jay K aka Jason Kolucki, interviews Montalvan with actors Paul E. Respass and Theresa Holly. The group cover different topics from the making-of doc, including Montalvan's love of horror, differences in the script from the actual film, inspirations for the characters and more.
Rounding out the extras are three trailers for the film.
I'd have to say that I'm impressed with the effort put into the extras for this film, even if the film itself isn't the greatest.
Why Good Supernatural Horror Will Never Die #Annabelle
Every couple of years or so, a lot of horror experts like to trot out their opinions on the future of the genre. "Zombies are out." I wish, but not yet. "Werewolves are in." I wish, but not yet. Recently we've been seeing what some see as a resurgence of supernatural horror, which is causing some pundits to predict its death in a sort of a knee-jerk fashion. But here's the thing, good supernatural horror movies, like last year's The Conjuring, will never die. The response to both the Annabelle teaser trailer and its more recent full trailer suggest that audiences are as hungry as ever for quality scares.
It all comes down to the unknown. There is so much we don't understand about the universe and our own lives that the supernatural subgenre can represent metaphorically. On top of that, every single human is wired to fear for their own mortality. I think one of the reasons we're so resistant to death is that we really have no idea what happens after it occurs. Does our consciousness simply vanish? Is it nothingness? Do we go to some sort of afterlife? Do we become ghosts? Are spirits among us? I'm not a particularly religious person but I have to admit that I occasionally entertain any and all of these possibilities simply because I can't completely wrap my head around the concept.
These concepts, concerns and fears will never truly dissipate because we will never have concrete answers. That goes for what happens to other people as well as ourselves. In the light of day I don't believe in ghosts, but I've also been known to switch hotel rooms because I'm convinced that there's a spirit lurking in one of them. The same goes for horror cinema. When we watch something like Paranormal Activity 3, Insidious or The Conjuring, we lose all real objectivity on the matter. Have you ever found yourself watching a zombie film only to find yourself momentarily convinced that they're real? No. Same thing with werewolves and vampires, right? But when you try to turn out the lights after a particularly effective haunter, it's a different story. I'm allowed to have all manner of horror ephemera in my house… but not the Annabelle doll. It's just too unsettling.
The box office backs me up on this. Every five years or so there's a massive supernatural horror film that captures the zeitgeist, and it happens with a wider audience than with other subgenres. Look at The Exorcist, The Amityville Horror, The Shining, Poltergeist, The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense, The Ring, Paranormal Activity, Sinister, Insidious and The Conjuring. There's a cultural penetration going on with these movies that you don't really get from other subgenres. You could even take the upcoming Annabelle as an example. Audiences are primed to see it not only because they recognize the Annabelle doll, which has quickly become as iconic as some of the classic slashers without ever saying a word, but because they trust that the film will do what others can't … unsettle them.
I don't believe we'll see supernatural horror dying out anytime soon. When Annabelle opens on October 3rd you're likely to see people flocking to it in droves, counting on a sleepless night afterwards.
Black Sabbath Commit To A Final Album And World Tour
Black Sabbath has announced that the band will be recording one more album and embarking on a final world tour.
The news comes from vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, who explains to Classic Rock Magazine that this new album doesn't have a defined release date but that things will need to happen "…sooner rather than later."
"The whole Sabbath experience this time around was great. We all made friends, we didn't [fuck] around, we all knew that we had a job to do, and we did it. It was a lot of fun. So we're going to do one more album, and a final tour.
Once the dust settled after the last tour, we started discussing the idea, because we were getting asked about it all the time. I said to Sharon, 'What's going on? Because if there's no more Sabbath I want to get on with my own thing again,' and she came back and said 'Let me look into it.' Three weeks later I asked her about it again, and she said, 'Oh, I still have to talk to so and so … ' and I said, 'Sharon, I ain't [fucking] 21 anymore; if we're going to do it, I want to do it before I'm 70! Time isn't on our side!' So she made the call and came back and said, 'Yeah, the record company wants another album.' I believe [producer] Rick Rubin is going to do it with us again.
Sabbath's last release was 2013′s 13, which was pretty damn fantastic. If you haven't checked it out, I really encourage you to do so!
An 'Inner Demons' Exorcism (New Clips!)
Seth Grossman will take an intervention to another level.
Starring Lara Vosburgh, Morgan McClellan, and Colleen McGrann, IFC Midnight sneaks us some new footage from Inner Demons, out in theaters and VOD October 3.
"When the teenage daughter of a religious family transforms from A-student into heroin addict, her parents agree to allow a reality TV crew to stage an intervention and tape her recovery. What they don't know is that she has been taking drugs to deal with the unnatural, evil feelings growing inside her. When she agrees to rehab, with no drugs to suppress what's inside, the demon emerges.
A suspenseful and clever reinvention of both the found-footage and possession genres, Inner Demons expertly plays on our culture's love of reality television. Director Seth Grossman, who worked as a producer on "Intervention," deftly guides the audience down a path where addiction is just a temporary cure for something much more evil."
This 'The Babadook' Clip WILL Scare You
The Babadook is ringing, opening here in the States on November 28, and in the UK on October 24.
Written and directed by Jennifer Kent, the film has terrified audiences since it premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival (read our review). You can get a taste of the scares in this awesome clip where The Babadook pulls a Freddy Krueger…
We just landed a brand new version of the pop-up book poster that boasts a handful of positive reviews.
In it, "Six years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia (Essie Davis) is at a loss. She struggles to discipline her 'out of control' 6-year-old, Samuel (Noah Wiseman), a son she finds impossible to love. Samuel's dreams are plagued by a sinister monster he believes is coming to kill them both.
When a disturbing storybook called 'The Babadook' turns up at their house, Samuel is convinced that 'The Babadook' is the creature he's been dreaming about. His hallucinations spiral out of control and as he becomes more unpredictable and violent, Amelia is genuinely frightened by her son's behaviour.
But when Amelia begins to see glimpses of a sinister presence all around her, it slowly dawns on her that the thing Samuel has been warning her about may be real."
5 Excruciating Ways to Die in Horror Games! (NSFW)
Every one of us will die. You, me, even our music editor, Jonny B — once thought to be immortal — will eventually meet move on to wherever it is we go when we perish. In fact, we're all dying right now. Right this very minute, every one of us is hurtling through space at about 70k mph, dodging asteroids, comets, other planets and the Covenant.
This is a fun way to start an article, huh? It sure is, and I'm not even done yet. Any number of things can kill us, and as video games have taught me over the years, many of these deaths are horrific enough that I wouldn't wish them upon my worst enemy (you know who you are).
This is why I've decided to come up with a list of five of what I consider to be some of the most painful deaths I've seen in horror games.
Come, darling. Let's have some fun.
You'd Be Insane (or Rich) to Pay $50 for This 'Alien' Toy
The Alien franchise is my favorite thing ever. This means I would love to surround myself with all the collectibles ever released. But this also doesn't mean I'd allow myself to get ripped off.
Figures.com writes about a mysterious "Alien Xenomorph soft-vinyl figure" that comes with a transparent vinyl dome (an egg out of a vending machine?), and a disturbing $50 price tag.
This $50 "collectible" is only 4″ tall, too. But if you want to waste your money, you can nab one Thursday, October 2nd, 12noon PST at super7store.com.
Am I missing something?
A better way to spend your money is to nab the entire Blu-ray anthology for only $40. Just saying'…
'Why Don't You Play In Hell' Will Spill Buckets of Blood…

Dracula's Dungeon Has Been Found In Turkey!
Archaeologists in Northern Turkey, who have been researching Tokat Castle, believe that they have found the dungeon that held Prince Vlad III, the inspiration for "Bram Stoker's Dracula," for 12 years. The dungeon was found when secret tunnels were revealed during a restoration project.
"The castle is completely surrounded by secret tunnels," Archaeologist Ibrahim Çetin states. "It is very mysterious. It is hard to estimate in which room Dracula was kept, but he was around here."
Prince Vlad III, also known as Vlad The Impaler, was held hostage in this dungeon in the early 15th century after being captured by Ottoman Turks. He later reclaimed his throne and is said to have died in battle against the Turks in 1476.

'Ghost Cop' Isn't a Sequel to 'Ghost Dad'
Sony Pictures will battle the supernatural of the funny bone.
The studio has acquired Ghost Cop in a competitive situation from the writing team of Matt Bass and Teddy Bressman, explains TheWrap.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the project is described as "a new twist on the buddy cop comedy."
Thankfully as to not confuse fans of Bill Cosby's Ghost Dad, the project is currently untitled, though it sold under the working title of Ghost Cop.
David Alpert and Julian Rosenberg will produce for Circle of Confusion ("The Walking Dead"), whose Matt Smith will executive produce.
First Details, Cast For "Dead Rising: Watchtower"
Legendary Entertainment and Sony-owned Crackle have set Jesse Metcalfe ("Desperate Housewives," "Dallas"), Meghan Ory ("Once Upon a Time"), Virginia Madsen (Candyman, Sideways), and Dennis Haysbert (Men, Women & Children) to star in zombie chopper Dead Rising: Watchtower, the first project out of Legendary's Digital Media division, says Deadline.
"As in the vidgame, 'Dead Rising: Watchtower' is set during a zombie apocalypse. When a mandatory government vaccine fails, a group of survivors must evade infection while hunting down the root of the epidemic, which leads back to a government conspiracy."
Leprechaun: Origins helmer and VFX veteran Zach Lipovsky is directing Dead Rising from a script by Tim Carter, based on the bestselling Capcom franchise that's spawned two sequels and sold 7.6 million copies worldwide to date.
Filming is set to begin tomorrow in Vancouver.

'Re-Animator: The Musical' Announces Return Dates And Venue
Look out Hollywood, you might not be "fresh enough"!
Re-Animator: The Musical has announced that it will be back for a Halloween run this October at the Steve Allen Theater in Hollywood, CA. The show will run October 17th through November 2nd, Fridays through Sundays at 8pm. There will also be preview shows on October 10th through 12th. Admission is $25 with the previews being $20. Tickets can be purchased here.
Head below for a lengthy description of the event, including details on cast and crew.
Re-Animator ™ the Musical" tells the story of Herbert West, a brilliant young medical student who has created a glowing green serum that can bring the dead back to life. What should be a medical breakthrough results in hideous monstrosities and ghastly consequences. "I guess he just wasn't fresh enough," is West's constant refrain in his quest for fresh subjects. Graham Skipper, who won a Best New Performer Award at the New York Musical Theater Festival for his crowd-pleasing turn, returns as the demented young genius.
And operatic Jesse Merlin is back as Dr. Carl Hill who loses his head for Meg, the dean's beautiful daughter, only to actually lose it at the hands of Herbert West. But thanks to the glowing re-agent, Dr. Hill is still able to take his curtain call with his head tucked underneath his arm.
Also returning from the original cast are (in alphabetical order) Cynthia Carle, Brian Gillespie, Marlon Grace, and Liesel Hanson playing an assortment of doctors, nurses, and rampaging zombies.
New to the cast and Los Angeles are Darren Ritchie (veteran of five Broadway shows, including "Dracula" and "Little Shop of Horrors") as Dan Cain, the handsome young medical student (and West's hapless roommate) in love with the dean's beautiful daughter, now played by vivacious newcomer Jessica Howell (recently on Showtime's "Masters of Sex"). Ken Hudson Campbell, familiar to many for saving the world with Bruce Willis in "Armageddon," plays the doomed Dean of the medical school whom West transforms into a mindless zombie.
Stuart Gordon, the director and co-writer of "H.P. Lovecraft's Re-Animator," the cult film on which the musical is based, has joined his fearless producing partner Dean Schramm to prove that anything that can be done in a movie can be a hundred times more astonishing live on stage. Gordon spent fifteen years as the founder and artistic director of the Organic Theater of Chicago, where he co-created the original production of "Bleacher Bums," and produced and directed the world premiere of David Mamet's "Sexual Perversity in Chicago." Gordon recently co-created and directed the long-running and critically acclaimed "Nevermore" with "Re-Animator" film star Jeffrey Combs as Edgar Allan Poe that is now touring the country.
Mark Nutter is composer and lyricist and his cheerfully disturbing songs have been compared to Tom Lehrer. His previous stage credits include the international hit "The Bicycle Men"; "Christmas Smackdown" (created with the equally demented Cynthia Carle): and "Wild Men." He's also known for his work on "3rd Rock From the Sun" and "Saturday Night Live." His CD "Twisted Songs for Twisted Sophisticates" has been banned from the airwaves.
Special effects are from by the same team that created them for the "Re-Animator" movie: Tony Doublin, John Naulin, and John Beuchler. They all won LA Critics' and LA Weekly Awards for their mind-boggling illusions. And the blood will flow so freely that the first row will be once again designated as a "splash zone" – so bring your raincoats!
Laura Fine Hawkes, who designed the almost-as-bloody "Lieutenant of Inishmore" at the Taper, will provide the creepy sets, Joe Kucharski the moldering costumes and Jeff Ravitz the cadaverous lighting. Stage manager Michael Lemek will be the master of the mayhem.
"Re-Animator™ the Musical" was developed and premiered at the Steve Allen Theater under the artistic direction of Amit Itelman who also founded Trepany House.
New 'Dead Island 2′ Footage Surfaces from EGX
Around this time every year, gamers gather in and around Earls Court in London for the annual gaming celebration known as EGX. This year's event wrapped up on Sunday, but not before Deep Silver could spend some time showing off the Yager-developed Dead Island 2. This demo does a fine a job of showing off the boundless satisfaction that comes from mercilessly obliterating hordes of zombies with handcrafted weapons.
This game needs to hurry up and arrive so I can make me an electrified sledgehammer — which I will name Mjölnir — so I can finally become Thor. I'm already prepared, I even have my cape. Okay, sure, the cape is really just a blanket I tied around my neck, but it'll do.
Dead Island 2 arrives on PC, PS4 and Xbox One in early 2015.
Mastodon Release Twerk-Filled "The Motherload" Video
That's a lot of ass shaking…
Mastodon have released an official music video for their track "The Motherload", which comes from their latest album Once More 'Round The Sun. The video, which was directed by Adult Swim's Jonathan Rej & Thomas Bingham, depicts several biblical scenes that are interrupted by women twerking, finishing off with an epic twerk-off.
As per usual, Mastodon have released a video that is aimed to be fun and entertaining. This time, it's also a bit satirical in nature, commenting on the fact that over-sexualization is rampant, invading everything it sees fit. Personally, I got a kick out of it!
It's Ripley vs. Androids in the Latest 'Alien: Isolation' Video
Sega has released the eighth video in a series of vignettes for the upcoming survival horror game Alien: Isolation, which releases next week. For those keeping count, this video will mark the eighth time we've watched Amanda Ripley endure a horrific deaths. This video isn't too different from the rest, just swap out that frighteningly intelligent alien for a gaggle of bright-eyed androids.
Alien: Isolation arrives on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 7.

Not at all. There's a reason I have that as a nickname.
Country music.
Write real songs. Don't write hooks like, "There's a party in your bedroom". Don't use autotune up the ass and don't use synth. Be original and write songs that have real meaning.
:) hope that helps
So, there I was… balls deep.
the end.
Why are you scared to dream of God when it's salvation that you want?
I might get a lot of hate for this post, but I have to let it out. Lady Gaga scares the fucking shit out of me. She is legitimately a freak of nature. Her voice is amazing, she has some good melodies and some great song writers working behind her, but why does she have to be such an attention seeker? Why can't she just let her music speak for her? I strongly believe she would not be where she is today if she wasn't such a weird ass, which disgusts me that it takes such shock value to become a well known musician.
I haven't even watched the VMA's yet tonight but I have seen some pictures and I can only imagine what I'm going to see.
P.S. I have had nightmares about the song "Bad Romance".
P.S.S Sorry for stating my opinion, I hope I didn't offend anyone haha. I love all of you!

Bit far out requiring a tuk tuk to river area where most of sites and the action is, but not doable for $1.5. Quite popular it seems with Western tour groups, so not an ideal place for meeting people but good if you are a couple. Excellent breakfast. Pool nice but very small. Overall a comfortable stay but will stay somewhere cheaper next time.

What a dump!! To be avoided!! Reception was friendly enough but as soon as the door to the room was opened the receptionist who showed us up immediately apologised for the dreadful smell. He said it was the wood in the fittings not cured properly. Someone then brought a tealight candle under some smelly oil to try to mask it. The real smell was from the drains in the bathroom however. I was afraid to take a shower for fear of what might come up the drain!! No other room available for 2 days!

Not what I expected, after reading details on the property I thought I had book what looked to be a great accomodation. I don't know who takes responsibility, but there was not security for passports and valuables. Not even on the front desk. Also when I checked out I was charged for the room twice. The reason being, because they had not received the deposit paid by my credit card two weeks prior. Yet it was debited from my account. I am not sure who is responsible? I feel it is Expedia Travel!!

- Histologische, histomorphometrische und klinische Vergleichsanalyse eines synthetischen und eines xenogenen Knochenersatzmaterials zur Sinusbodenaugmentation bei ehemaligen Tumorpatienten (2014)
- In der vorliegenden Promotion wurde erstmals die Gewebsreaktion ehemaliger Tumorpatienten auf das synthetische Knochenersazmaterial Nanobone® (NB) und das xenogene Knochenerstazmaterial Bio-Oss® (BO) untersucht. In einem Patientenkollektiv von acht Patienten mit Plattenepithelkarzinomen im Mund- und Halsbereich, die im Vorfeld der Studie erfolgreich therapiert wurden, wurden in einer split-mouth design Studie die beiden Knochenersatzmaterialien zur Sinusbodenaugmentation verwendet und nach sechsmonatiger Einheilphase histologisch und histomorphometrisch untersucht. Um den Einfluss der beiden Augmentationsmaterialien auf den Erfolg und das Überleben der Implantate zu evaluieren, wurden zudem die Implantate nach einem Zeitraum von zwei Jahren klinisch und radiologisch nachuntersucht. ...
- Targeting survivin in cancer: novel drug development approaches (2014)
- Survivin is a well-established target in experimental cancer therapy. The molecule is over-expressed in most human tumors, but hardly detectable in normal tissues. Multiple functions in different subcellular compartments have been assigned. It participates in the control of cell division, apoptosis, the cellular stress response, and also in the regulation of cell migration and metastasis. Survivin expression has been recognized as a biomarker: high expression indicates an unfavorable prognosis and resistance to chemotherapeutic agents and radiation treatment. Survivin is an unconventional drug target and several indirect approaches have been exploited to affect its function and the phenotype of survivin-expressing cells. Interference with the expression of the survivin gene, the utilization of its messenger RNA, the intracellular localization, the interaction with binding partners, the stability of the survivin protein, and the induction of survivin-specific immune responses have been taken into consideration. A direct strategy to inhibit survivin has been based on the identification of a specifically interacting peptide. This peptide can recognize survivin intracellularly and cause the degradation of the ligand–survivin complex. Technology is being developed that might allow the derivation of small molecular-weight, drug-like compounds that are functionally equivalent to the peptide ligand.
- Chronic ethanol feeding modulates inflammatory mediators, activation of nuclear factor-κB, and responsiveness to endotoxin in murine Kupffer cells and circulating leukocytes (2014)
- Chronic ethanol abuse is known to increase susceptibility to infections after injury, in part, by modification of macrophage function. Several intracellular signalling mechanisms are involved in the initiation of inflammatory responses, including the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway. In this study, we investigated the systemic and hepatic effect of chronic ethanol feeding on in vivo activation of NF-κB in NF-κB(EGFP) reporter gene mice. Specifically, the study focused on Kupffer cell proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α and activation of NF-κB after chronic ethanol feeding followed by in vitro stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We found that chronic ethanol upregulated NF-κB activation and increased hepatic and systemic proinflammatory cytokine levels. Similarly, LPS-stimulated IL-1 β release from whole blood was significantly enhanced in ethanol-fed mice. However, LPS significantly increased IL-6 and TNF-α levels. These results demonstrate that chronic ethanol feeding can improve the responsiveness of macrophage LPS-stimulated IL-6 and TNF-α production and indicate that this effect may result from ethanol-induced alterations in intracellular signalling through NF-κB. Furthermore, LPS and TNF-α stimulated the gene expression of different inflammatory mediators, in part, in a NF-κB-dependent manner.
- Anti-HDV IgM as a marker of disease activity in hepatitis delta (2014)
- Background: Hepatitis delta frequently leads to liver cirrhosis and hepatic decompensation. As treatment options are limited, there is a need for biomarkers to determine disease activity and to predict the risk of disease progression. We hypothesized that anti-HDV IgM could represent such a marker. Methods: Samples of 120 HDV-infected patients recruited in an international multicenter treatment trial (HIDIT-2) were studied. Anti-HDV IgM testing was performed using ETI-DELTA-IGMK-2-assay (DiaSorin). In addition, fifty cytokines, chemokines and angiogenetic factors were measured using multiplex technology (Bio-Plex System). A second independent cohort of 78 patients was studied for the development of liver-related clinical endpoints (decompensation, HCC, liver transplantation or death; median follow up of 3.0 years, range 0.6–12). Results: Anti-HDV IgM serum levels were negative in 18 (15%), low (OD<0.5) in 76 (63%), and high in 26 (22%) patients of the HIDIT-2 cohort. Anti-HDV IgM were significantly associated with histological inflammatory (p<0.01) and biochemical disease activity (ALT, AST p<0.01). HDV replication was independent from anti-HDV IgM, however, low HBV-DNA levels were observed in groups with higher anti-HDV IgM levels (p<0.01). While high IP-10 (CXCL10) levels were seen in greater groups of anti-HDV IgM levels, various other antiviral cytokines were negatively associated with anti-HDV IgM. Associations between anti-HDV IgM and ALT, AST, HBV-DNA were confirmed in the independent cohort. Clinical endpoints occurred in 26 anti-HDV IgM positive patients (39%) but in only one anti-HDV IgM negative individual (9%; p = 0.05). Conclusions: Serum anti-HDV IgM is a robust, easy-to-apply and relatively cheap marker to determine disease activity in hepatitis delta which has prognostic implications. High anti-HDV IgM levels may indicate an activated interferon system but exhausted antiviral immunity.
- Syngeneic Cardiac and Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Display Tissue-Specific microRNA Signatures and microRNA Subsets Restricted to Diverse Differentiation Processes (2014)
- MicroRNAs are key modulators at molecular level in different biological processes, including determination of cell fate and differentiation. Herein, microRNA expression profiling experiments were performed on syngeneic cardiac (CStC) and bone marrow (BMStC) mesenchymal stromal cells cultured in standard growth medium and then in vitro exposed to adipogenic, osteogenic, cardiomyogenic and endothelial differentiation media. Analysis identified a tissue-specific microRNA signature composed of 16 microRNAs that univocally discriminated cell type of origin and that were completely unaffected by in vitro differentiation media: 4 microRNAs were over-expressed in cardiac stromal cells, and 12 were overexpressed or present only in bone marrow stromal cells. Further, results revealed microRNA subsets specifically modulated by each differentiation medium, irrespective of the cell type of origin, and a subset of 7 microRNAs that were down-regulated by all media with respect to growth medium. Finally, we identified 16 microRNAs that were differentially modulated by the media when comparing the two tissues of origin. The existence of a tissue-specific microRNA signature surviving to any differentiation stimuli, strongly support the role if microRNAs determining cell identity related to tissue origin. Moreover, we identified microRNA subsets modulated by different culture conditions in a tissue-specific manner, pointing out their importance during differentiation processes.
- Spatio-temporal distribution of dengue and lymphatic filariasis vectors along an altitudinal transect in Central Nepal (2014)
- Background: Rapidly increasing temperatures in the mountain region of Nepal and recent reports of dengue fever and lymphatic filariasis cases from mountainous areas of central Nepal prompted us to study the spatio-temporal distribution of the vectors of these two diseases along an altitudinal transect in central Nepal. Methodology/Principal Findings: We conducted a longitudinal study in four distinct physiographical regions of central Nepal from September 2011 to February 2012. We used BG-Sentinel and CDC light traps to capture adult mosquitoes. We found the geographical distribution of the dengue virus vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus along our study transect to extend up to 1,310 m altitude in the Middle Mountain region (Kathmandu). The distribution of the lymphatic filariasis vector Culex quinquefasciatus extended up to at least 2,100 m in the High Mountain region (Dhunche). Statistical analysis showed a significant effect of the physiographical region and month of collection on the abundance of A. aegypti and C. quinquefasciatus only. BG-Sentinel traps captured significantly higher numbers of A. aegypti than CDC light traps. The meteorological factors temperature, rainfall and relative humidity had significant effects on the mean number of A. aegypti per BG-Sentinel trap. Temperature and relative humidity were significant predictors of the number of C. quinquefasciatus per CDC light trap. Dengue fever and lymphatic filariasis cases had previously been reported from all vector positive areas except Dhunche which was free of known lymphatic filariasis cases. Conclusions/Significance: We conclude that dengue virus vectors have already established stable populations up to the Middle Mountains of Nepal, supporting previous studies, and report for the first time the distribution of lymphatic filariasis vectors up to the High Mountain region of this country. The findings of our study should contribute to a better planning and scaling-up of mosquito-borne disease control programmes in the mountainous areas of Nepal. Author Summary Dengue fever, a viral disease transmitted by the bites of infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, has been rapidly spreading in Nepal since it was first reported in this country in 2004. Similarly, lymphatic filariasis, a parasitic disease transmitted by Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in Nepal, is a public health problem in terms of morbidity and impact on the social and economic status of poor people living in rural and slum areas. Evidence for more pronounced temperature rises in higher altitudes of Nepal and an increasing frequency of dengue fever and lymphatic filariasis cases reported from mountain areas, in the absence of recent data on the mosquito vectors of these diseases, prompted us to investigate their distribution and abundance in this country. In our study, we document the distribution of A. aegypti and A. albopictus from the lowlands up to 1,310 m altitude in Kathmandu, and the distribution of C. quinquefasciatus up to Dhunche (2,100 m altitude), the highest locality included in this study. The wide distribution of these important disease vectors in the mountains, previously considered non-endemic for dengue fever and lymphatic filariasis, calls for an extension and scaling-up of vector-borne disease surveillance and control programmes in Nepal.
- Low energy shock wave therapy induces angiogenesis in acute hind-limb ischemia via VEGF receptor 2 phosphorylation (2014)
- Objectives: Low energy shock waves have been shown to induce angiogenesis, improve left ventricular ejection fraction and decrease angina symptoms in patients suffering from chronic ischemic heart disease. Whether there is as well an effect in acute ischemia was not yet investigated. Methods: Hind-limb ischemia was induced in 10–12 weeks old male C57/Bl6 wild-type mice by excision of the left femoral artery. Animals were randomly divided in a treatment group (SWT, 300 shock waves at 0.1 mJ/mm2, 5 Hz) and untreated controls (CTR), n = 10 per group. The treatment group received shock wave therapy immediately after surgery. Results: Higher gene expression and protein levels of angiogenic factors VEGF-A and PlGF, as well as their receptors Flt-1 and KDR have been found. This resulted in significantly more vessels per high-power field in SWT compared to controls. Improvement of blood perfusion in treatment animals was confirmed by laser Doppler perfusion imaging. Receptor tyrosine kinase profiler revealed significant phosphorylation of VEGF receptor 2 as an underlying mechanism of action. The effect of VEGF signaling was abolished upon incubation with a VEGFR2 inhibitor indicating that the effect is indeed VEGFR 2 dependent. Conclusions: Low energy shock wave treatment induces angiogenesis in acute ischemia via VEGF receptor 2 stimulation and shows the same promising effects as known from chronic myocardial ischemia. It may therefore develop as an adjunct to the treatment armentarium of acute muscle ischemia in limbs and myocardium.
- In vitro and in vivo evaluation of a hydrogel reservoir as a continuous drug delivery system for inner ear treatment (2014)
- Fibrous tissue growth and loss of residual hearing after cochlear implantation can be reduced by application of the glucocorticoid dexamethasone-21-phosphate-disodium-salt (DEX). To date, sustained delivery of this agent to the cochlea using a number of pharmaceutical technologies has not been entirely successful. In this study we examine a novel way of continuous local drug application into the inner ear using a refillable hydrogel functionalized silicone reservoir. A PEG-based hydrogel made of reactive NCO-sP(EO-stat-PO) prepolymers was evaluated as a drug conveying and delivery system in vitro and in vivo. Encapsulating the free form hydrogel into a silicone tube with a small opening for the drug diffusion resulted in delayed drug release but unaffected diffusion of DEX through the gel compared to the free form hydrogel. Additionally, controlled DEX release over several weeks could be demonstrated using the hydrogel filled reservoir. Using a guinea-pig cochlear trauma model the reservoir delivery of DEX significantly protected residual hearing and reduced fibrosis. As well as being used as a device in its own right or in combination with cochlear implants, the hydrogel-filled reservoir represents a new drug delivery system that feasibly could be replenished with therapeutic agents to provide sustained treatment of the inner ear.

Pepper and vinegar besides

We can begin to feed."

Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"

First off let me start by wishing you Happy Holidays and thanking you for visiting my site about what Apple Hill Christmas tree Farms to visit and my experiences in Apple Hill. Living in Northern California we are spoiled with having so many great and beautiful places right out our back door. One of those places is Apple Hill. Visiting xmas Tree Farms after Thanksgiving is truly a very memorable family experience you and your kids will never forget. All Farms open the day after Thanksgiving and are open until Christmas Eve.
Apple Hill is located 45 miles East of Sacramento on Highway 50 and is very easy to find on a map. Just above Placerville (the little town with the stop lights on the freeway) haha. Its important that before you plan a trip up to this area that you check the weather and road conditions. Its not unusual for snow to fall in Apple Hill so be sure to drive the proper vehicle. Don't let snow be a worry however it will simply add to the Christmas experience if your lucky enough to visit while snow is on the ground. Along with being prepared for the drive also be sure to bring a coat and some shoes or boots you wont mind getting a little dirty because you get to choose and cut your own Trees in the Camino area.
Finding and cutting your own Christmas tree is most definitely nothing like going down the street to the parking lot Tree Lot where all the trees were cut a week or more before and haven't been watered and most of the pine needles are already turning brown. You know the trees im talking about. Just imagine how great this family tradition will be. Going out to a forest of fresh planted xmas Tree's, Picking the perfect tree that will fit your home and being able to get your hands a little dirty and cut your own tree down. If you don't wanna be a lumber jack don't worry because almost all the christmas tree farms in Apple Hill will offer to cut the tree for you, bag it and even tie it down to your roof for you if you wish.
Enjoying Christmas in Apple Hill isn't all about just getting a Christmas tree though. Many of the Tree Farms offer great Christmas activities for the kids and have nice warm cups of hot chocolate or some world famous apple cider waiting for you. Make coming to Apple Hill a fun filled memorable day. Oh and if you get a chance be sure to try the fudge and freshest Apple Pie you have ever had!!

Link reblogged from A Pro-Life Friend with 10 notes
I don't know if they should have been arrested (but I'd like to see someone dig up an AP article on this because this source is biased and I'd like to know what I'm reading is fully factual). Based on what is here, I don't think it should have been right to arrest them, and I would like to see more details on the case from an unbiased source.
However — to touch on why they were there: Obamacare has nothing to do with religious freedom. Period. An employer is not paying his employees out of pocket. His company is. His company does not have first Amendment rights, and under the Civil Rights act, you cannot discriminate against your employees for multiple prejudices you hold, whether racial, gender-related, religious, or whatever. If this were a religious organization, they would be tax exempt, receiving no aid from the government, as LAW REQUIRES, and would therefore not be affected by the mandate.
Your religious freedom is not being attacked. You are attacking the religious freedom of OTHERS by insisting that laws based on your religious beliefs be held over the civil rights of other Americans.
Stop demanding special treatment, accept that you are privileged and you are given WELL BEYOND what the first amendment promises in terms of "freedom", because you openly trample over the rights of others in the name of God, and sit down.

Validation in the Software Metric Development Process
Berg van den, K.G. and Broek van den, P.M. (1995) Validation in the Software Metric Development Process. [Report]
|In this paper the validation of software metrics will be examined. Two approaches will be combined: representational measurement theory and a validation network scheme. The development process of a software metric will be described, together with validities for the three phases of the metric development process. Representation axioms from measurement theory are used both for the formal and empirical validation. The differentiation of validities according to these phases unifies several validation approaches found in the software metric's literature.

"It's a new year but the same you, the one who lived the old year, who spent time rather than invest it, made the decisions that brought the old results, gave in to fear cowering, rather than courage exploring limitless possibilities. The old you is in there, somewhere waiting to sabotage your entire year. Your only hope is CHANGE, The old you must die that your dreams, hopes and aspirations might live."

did you wind up goin that day? It was a fun night for me and my friends cause one of them was celebrating his bday. What did you think of themusic in the BALLROOM (THE BIG ROOM) i really hate the auction it take to much time and pisses a few of the regualrs off who want to dance. I love it when their doin their thing on stage and rick turns up te volume with KING UNIQUES- MUSIC PLEASE sample. Cause its true we want music.
Silverbull - how are you? I think if Burnt went to Webs on 7/19 he must have had a great time. Hopefully, he received a promo! Rick had the Ballroom dancin, screamin and sweatin! And, to think, we have it on tape.
I do agree, the auction is whack....Very weak intrusion on what is a great performance by one of their better DJs. I've also noticed they put out these really big flyers, on the bar, advertising thurs and fri. Are they trying to take the Saturday crowd over to their other nights? They should stop the nonsense and give Rick the props he deserves. I thought that's why he went back! Speak to you soon on Rick's board.

i am the guy who was always on the floor and somtimes on the stage dancing like crazy .. i usually wore the mask backword, as in behind the head .. and this created an illusion from a distant were people would see the mask and get surprised as they would think the person wearing the mask is moving backword .. oh well ... enough with that ..
peace out

PS .. i don't think they pay the guy with the white mask and the gloves .. but u can just ask him i guess ..
I don't know if he is there every night but the person I hate is this old guy that is always there when I have been there and thinks he is bruce lee or something doing karate and shit. I think it is an attempt at a dance but one day he karate kicked my drink right out of my hand. GRRRR!
yo destiny thats hysterical, lol i know who your talkin about. Hes ok with me and he looks like hes having fun. Are you coming down tomorrow.

judging from what the management has been doing in the past few years, this place is history ..
do u belive that i used to have a membership card for the club (paid $200 for it) .. and one day i lost it .. and when i called them .. they said "you gotta buy a new one"!!!! whattttttttt .. i mean when u have a credit card and u loose it .. they issue u a new one .. but nooooooo webster hall card is special ..
fuck webster hall ..

yes, i went!
sorry for the delayed response...
yes, i went to webster hall that night
awesome VIP area---love the beds...especially after last night's Sex and the City episode
fun times in the 80s room and main room
i thought the singles auction was okay, although some responses were repetitive and the first couple guys who were auctioned off were straight...but gay guys won....so it was a waste of time....but i saw at least one of the couples going at it up in VIP, so that was good
very good VIP service---especially accomodating when a couple friends came asking for me from "the outside"
Yeah they have great VIP service there, and the AUTION i think is a waste of time ,lol, i wanna hear music im glad you had fun. Come check it out again one night.
I wouldn't doubt that that is the same old guy that used to be at Exit dancing by himself back in the day. Everytime this old guy sees me he runs away after that incident. I get my friend to do a few mocking karate kicks and the guy runs out of the dance room. Actually a long time ago years ago he had done the same thing to me. I don't know why but sometimes I feel like just hitting him with a numchuck or something.
Seriously Mask though not turning on my buddy silverbull but from going there for x amount of years (not as many as you) I have noticed a difference in alot of those same aspects. The place needs a vibe or something. I think Corbo and the guy that runs the lights work great together. The place looks good (ballroom) and house music is off the meters. But something like the card thing would piss me off. Mask it's too bad you don't go there anymore. Would have liked to have met you. Who knows I was probably there when you were there in the past. Anyhow have a great one!
