Data suggest that XBP1 is a major component in endocrine pancreas that is crucial for glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism; drugs targeting XBP1 signaling and endoplasmic reticulum stress/unfolded protein response in endocrine pancreas are potential approaches for treatment of disorders of glucose metabolism.
High XBP1 expression is associated with glioma.
Overexpression of X-Box Binding Protein 1 (XBP1) Correlates to Poor Prognosis and Up-Regulation of PI3K (show PIK3CA ELISA Kits)/mTOR (show FRAP1 ELISA Kits) in Human Osteosarcoma
Overexpression of XBP1 is associated with breast cancer.
An RNA-intrinsic conformational change causes the intron of XBP1 mRNA to be ejected and the exons to zipper up into an extended stem, juxtaposing the RNA ends for ligation; These conformational rearrangements are important for XBP1 mRNA splicing in vivo
Our results reveal that IRE1alpha (show ERN1 ELISA Kits)-XBP1 pathway plays an important role in tumor progression and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT (show ITK ELISA Kits)), and IRE1alpha (show ERN1 ELISA Kits) could be employed as a novel prognostic marker and a promising therapeutic target for CRC (show CALR ELISA Kits).
Silencing of IRE1 (show ERN1 ELISA Kits) expression inhibited splicing of XBP1 resulting in an early onset of cell death. In the PERK (show EIF2AK3 ELISA Kits)-reporter cells, authors observed that a slow rate of ATF4 (show ATF4 ELISA Kits)-translation and late re-initiation of general translation
these findings suggest a possible mechanism underlying the RANKL (show TNFSF11 ELISA Kits) expression induced by wear particles in fibroblasts, and downregulating ER stress and the XBP1s expression of fibroblasts
the present study provides initial evidence that RITA (show ZNF331 ELISA Kits) upregulates the expression level of IRE1a (show ERN1 ELISA Kits) by increasing the stability of IRE1alpha (show ERN1 ELISA Kits) mRNA in irradiated mtp53-expressing cervical cancer cells
review of the IRE1alpha (show ERN1 ELISA Kits)-XBP1 branch of the unfolded protein response in human diseases [review]
Gene expression analysis revealed that XBP1 regulates a group of memory-related genes, highlighting BDNF (show BDNF ELISA Kits), as a key component in memory consolidation.
XBP1s can regulate Wnt10b (show WNT10B ELISA Kits) by a post-transcriptional mechanism through directly inducing microRNA-148a.
PKA-dependent IRE1alpha (show ERN1 ELISA Kits)-XBP1 activation is crucial for the transcriptional induction of Ucp1 (show UCP1 ELISA Kits) in brown adipocytes.
Data shsow that X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) plays a critical role in controlling the oxidative stress in Leishmania amazonensis a-infected cells.
Diminished XBP1 and/or HNF4alpha (show HNF4A ELISA Kits) in beta-cells led to impaired endoplasmic reticulum calcium homeostasis.
propose that the pathology of MCDS is underpinned by XBP1 independent UPR-induced dysregulation of C/EBP-beta (show CEBPB ELISA Kits)-mediated chondrocyte differentiation
these findings suggest a possible mechanism underlying the RANKL (show TNFSF11 ELISA Kits) expression induced by wear particles in fibroblasts, and downregulating ER stress and the XBP1s expression of fibroblasts
Data (including data from studies in knockout/transgenic mice) Xbp1 is required in mammary epithelial cells during lactation for cell proliferation (vs. apoptosis) and for development of elaborate endoplasmic reticulum (ER; without ER stress).
data indicate that hepatic XBP1 controls the adaptive response of the UPR and is critical to restoring homeostasis in the liver in response to ER stress.
Loss of XBP1 enhances liver injury in mice fed a high fat/sugar diet.
analyzed XBP1 level and location to explore the effect of ER stress on oocyte maturation and developmental competency of porcine embryos in an in vitro culture system
Knock-down of XBP1 enhanced endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated cell death in porcine embryonic fibroblasts.
Exposure of endothelial cells to VEGF (show VEGFA ELISA Kits), high glucose, or hydrogen peroxide up-regulated the XBP1/IRE1 alpha (show ERN1 ELISA Kits) and ATF6 (show ATF6 ELISA Kits) arms of the unfolded protein response compared with untreated cells.
Expression of xbp1 is significantly upregulated in the liver of Cdipt (show CDIPT ELISA Kits)-deficient zebrafish due to persistent endoplasmic reticulum stress. Cdipt (show CDIPT ELISA Kits)-deficient zebrafish exhibits hepatic lipid accumulation.
zebrafish XBP-1 spliced form not only activates genes responsible for protein folding, transporting, glycosylation and Endoplasmic Reticulum associated degradation but also activates anti-apoptosis signal via IGF1 (show IGF1 ELISA Kits)/Akt (show AKT1 ELISA Kits) pathway in unfolded protein
XBP1 might function as an inhibitor of mesodermal and neural tissue formation by acting either as transcriptional activator or as repressor.
This gene encodes a transcription factor that regulates MHC class II genes by binding to a promoter element referred to as an X box. This gene product is a bZIP protein, which was also identified as a cellular transcription factor that binds to an enhancer in the promoter of the T cell leukemia virus type 1 promoter. It may increase expression of viral proteins by acting as the DNA binding partner of a viral transactivator. It has been found that upon accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the mRNA of this gene is processed to an active form by an unconventional splicing mechanism that is mediated by the endonuclease inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1). The resulting loss of 26 nt from the spliced mRNA causes a frame-shift and an isoform XBP1(S), which is the functionally active transcription factor. The isoform encoded by the unspliced mRNA, XBP1(U), is constitutively expressed, and thought to function as a negative feedback regulator of XBP1(S), which shuts off transcription of target genes during the recovery phase of ER stress. A pseudogene of XBP1 has been identified and localized to chromosome 5.

Here some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on SN.
Independent therapists: who would you recommend?
(37 Posts)If you had to make a recommendation for any independent therapist/professional you had used during the SEN process, who would it be?
You are not wrong there! But do we want to flag MNSN up to local authorities???? That has been my thought - seriously!!
Actually, you've got a point there! I'm very conscious this is public open forum and no I certainly don't want THEM lurking on here!
What do you think we have to fear? It can be quite difficult to share experience, particularly relating to 'experts' given the level of paranoia that LA staff might spy on us. ime LA staff are crap over-stetched and don't even do the bare minimum.
Keepon - you talk as someone that has been through the 'process' and come out the other side smiling with what you want
I, on the other hand, am weeks away from the evidence deadline and Tribunal. The LA pulled so many dirty tricks before the last Tribunal that whilst I don't 'fear' them, I know that they don't like me, hate my legal representatives, and have so far done everything in their power to stop my DC getting any form of accessible education.
When I'm through 'the other side' then I'll share properly
I will PM you Rosielou678 and like you, I so wish I had known about mumsnet special needs forum when I started out on my journey all those years ago and then the statementing process 14 months ago. Only discovered the group in my final stages of the process.
It would have saved me hours and hours and hours of research. I did it all on my own, nobody in real life to ask and in hindsight there were people who could have helped me but they didn't. I will never understand this wall of silence. I help anyone who comes to me or talks to me about their child who has SEN, I can't stay quiet.
Again like you, it is the experts reaction how my kid has been neglected big time by school and LA, that I knew I would get what I set out to achieve.
I look forward to hearing your good news soon!
rosie - I went to tribunal with no WD. LA produced insufficient printed versions at the hearing but no electronic document. Assessments that hadn't been done for SA (SALT, OT) were only requested when it moved to the legal team. Is it really dirty tricks or incompetence (or both)?
ime they do both - Data Protection meant that we recieved copies of emails etc. Our legal rep would ask for electronic statement/WD and the internal email would say 'shall I send a paper copy?' But they resort to this crap because they have nothing else.
FS is wonderful with this sort of 'response'.
You only have to really worry if they are competent.
My LA are incompetent with a extra large dash of stupidity.
In fact, they are so incompetent & stupid that when they tried to pull something that very obviously was a massive dirty trick from a vengeful in-house lawyer LA, they tripped themselves up several times (in writing) to a Tribunal judge who wasn't impressed at all.
Just be aware that the panel will want to resolve issues at hearing and so will be willing to accept all sorts of incompetence/shenanigans provided that everything is 'ok' on the date of the hearing. (Can you imagine if parents did that?)
Thanks. Yes, I've been told that even though my DS's Statement was finalised illegally (breaking both the Education Act and the SEN Code of Practice), the Tribunal won't be interested in this at all.
My LA are nasty shits who pretend to be incompetent and befuddled when court out!!
Caught out even...
Taking the thread sideways a bit, I don't know what the Newport Uni's dyscovery centre are like at tribunal, but they do a good 'sort out' of the underlying problems. Bit like BIBIC but less 'alternative' so NHS use them too.

The period of time between the summer doldrums and the quick-action fishing of the fall can be a confusing one for anglers. Uncertainty dominates, as both the weather and the annual migrations of fish are notoriously unpredictable.
Everyone knows a variety of factors—including water temperatures, fall storms and the inevitable movement of large schools of fish—mean great fishing is just around the corner. But what do you do in the meantime?
Fall fishing for favorites like spot, speckled trout and red drum will be fast and furious once it gets started. The much-less revered black drum is providing action right now, however, and will bite throughout the late summer and fall and will still be here long after the seasonal action heats up and cools off. In all seasons and all kinds of weather, black drum are one of our most dependable fish, even if they remain somewhat unappreciated compared to their more famous brethren.
A poor cousin in a family of fish that contains all of those mentioned above, black drum are decent fighters and good to eat, and they hit in local waters virtually year-round. Tolerant to extremes in temperature, even the coldest or hottest water doesn't put them off the bite.
Black drum are not really a panfish and they can get huge. Giants up into the 100-pound range roam deep areas of structure in our coastal rivers. Most of them caught by casual anglers, however, are smaller fish of a few pounds that can put a real bend in a spot rod.
Black drum this size look something like sheepshead, with which they are often confused because of the black vertical bands on their white bodies. The marks fade as the fish ages. Black drum big enough to have lost their stripes are not good to eat and tend to have parasites (which look like white worms) in their flesh.
Fish more than about 5 pounds are best released, and the same goes for very small black drum sometimes caught on piers. Black drum of a few pounds yield fillets of delicious white meat that are great breaded and fried and fit perfectly into many soup, stew and casserole recipes.
Unlike the more free-roaming spot or trout, black drum are exclusively a fish of structure, and won't be found on sandy stretches unless there is something to hold them there. They eat shellfish and don't stray far from this food supply. Black drum are fish of bridges, pier pilings, docks and oyster beds and use the barbells on their chin to find food. They are hooked almost exclusively by bottom-fishing with a few ounces of weight on the bottom.
Many anglers catch the occasional black drum because they love to hit cut shrimp. They tend to ignore some other popular baits, including worms, cut fish or live minnows, though a hungry black drum will occasionally bite anything.
Experienced anglers targeting these fish will vary their baits by the season. This time of the year pinfish tend to take the cut shrimp off your hook quickly in inshore waters, so some folks catch black drum by using sand fleas or fiddler crabs. You can also use the shellfish-flavored synthetic strips like those made by Fishbites. The slow-moving black drum are rarely caught on lures.
Although they are a powerful, chunky fish black drum often bite very softly. This is because their crushing teeth are actually in their throats, and they will take your bait into their mouths tuning it over before grinding it up. This produces a slight vibration on your line that is something like someone plucking a guitar string. At other times a black drum will nail your bait and you won't have to worry about setting the hook.
Black drum are comparable to freshwater catfish when it comes to nocturnal activity. They usually feed better after dark, because they operate more by smell and touch than sight. Some folks fishing for black drum wait until sunset to start, taking advantage of the cooler weather, less-crowded conditions and decreased presence of the bait-stealing pinfish.
If you are looking for something to do while waiting for your favorite fall fish to go on a run, then checking out a bridge or pier at night and fishing around a piling for black drum is a great way to spend your time. They are a lot of fun and you may come away with something to eat while you are waiting on the more glamorous species to arrive.
Lowcountry Black Drum Casserole
6 black drum fillets (from fish around 2 pounds)
lemon juice
3 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
2 small yellow onions, chopped
1 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
paprika and black pepper
Put potatoes, onions and butter in a covered casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and place fish on top of potatoes and onions. Sprinkle lemon juice, paprika and pepper on fish. Cover casserole with bread crumbs. Return to heat and continue baking for 10 minutes or until fish is done (when it flakes easily with a fork). Serves four.

The NiSi 70x100mm Nano IR Soft Graduated Neutral Density Filter – GND8 (0.9) – 3 Stop from Nisi is specially designed for landscape photographers. This filter is made from high quality optical glass (not rasin) with nano coating to prevent losing any single bit of detail. The filter is designed with dark area on the top and gradually to clear at the bottom preventing over exposure of skies. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and the 0.9 density provides a 3 stop reduction in light from entering the lens. This filter measures 70 x 100mm and is compatible with the NiSi 70mm filter holder M1. The filter can be repositioned in the holder allowing recompose the photo for the best result.
By using neutral density filter the camera is vulnerable to infrared light which will cast the unwanted red color to the photos when shotting at small aperture. Nisi added the infrared protection coating layer to this filter which help to eliminate the infrared light through the lens to bring back the nature color.
The NiSi 70mm filter system is great for compact and mirrorless cameras with lenses that have a standard filter thread from 39mm to 58mm.

On behalf of the entire Kansas Congressional delegation, I apologize to Sandy victims
All four of our illustrious Kansas reps voted against aid for Sandy victims.
Huelskamp - a tea partier who has been all over the media lately making a royal fool of himself Jenkins - she laughed when a constituent asked her for help finding affordable health insurance (at a public meeting so it's on tape) Pompeo - he called his opponent, a native of India "a towel head" Yoder - swam nude in the Sea of Galilee To top it all off, two of these nutjobs ran unopposed in November. So I should probably apologize on behalf of half the voters in Kansas. I guess these rocket scientists all forgot about something that happens in Kansas every year - TORNADO SEASON. And they forgot (or maybe didn't know) that Kansas ranks 9th in federal aid following natural disasters. They had to have been in a coma to not remember what happened to Greensburg: Greensburg is home to only 777 people. But no one complained about that when federal aid was necessary to rebuild the ENTIRE town. (And it's absolutely gorgeous now. Definitely worth a drive through if you're in the area.) For that matter, Joplin is only a few miles from the Kansas border. At least their rep was smart enough to vote yes on this bill. He probably remembers this: I also take it they never saw the Wizard of Oz. But that's pretty much a right of passage here in the Sunflower State. So maybe they slept through it. At any rate, please know that the people who live in the state of Kansas understand disasters and know how important federal aid is. We are not all as stupid as our Congressional delegation.

Any DU member in a 'red' state is anywhere near 'dumb'. . . No - no my friend. You aren't dumb. You are just in hell!
And as a New Jerseyan - I hope we never ever retaliate against people in need. 777 or 77,000 - it doesn't matter. We are America and we CAN be better than those 67 'no' votes. |

Thanks for the thread, Proud2BlibKansan. They murder abortion doctors here in Kansas. Not to mention: Kansas Doctor Under Attack For Not Forcing Ten Year Old Rape Victim To Give Birth Kansas trying to make sperm donor pay child support ...and finally: Brownback Declares Saturday to be a 'Day of Restoration' TO THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS, GREETINGS: WHEREAS, the State of Kansas will host the national simulcast of REIGNDOWN USA in Topeka on December 8, 2012, bringing thousands here from across the country; and WHEREAS, people from across America will join the millions from around the world on TV simulcast live from MacLennan Park, in the heart of America; and WHEREAS, the first REIGNDOWN celebration was held 2008 in Washington DC, on the Capitol Grounds, introduced by proclamation of the President of the United States of America, with millions participating on site, on TV, and by computer; and WHEREAS, regional REIGNDOWN events continued until the need was seen for the gathering to be held in the heart of our Nation; and WHEREAS, many of our families have slid into poverty, endangering out next generation of citizens, our lands are parched by drought, our quality jobs are scarce, business and industry are struggling to expand, and many of our people have fallen into despair; and WHEREAS, our Nations greatest leaders have called on a merciful God for favor during troubled times, such as: We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. - Abraham Lincoln, 1863. The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained. - George Washington, 1789. I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever. - Thomas Jefferson, 1787; and WHEREAS, we collectively repent of distancing ourselves from God and ask for His mercy on us: NOW, THEREFORE, I, Sam Brownback, GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF KANSAS, do hereby proclaim December 8th 2012, as a Day of Restoration in Kansas and ask every citizen of our state to join in asking a Holy God to bring healing and restoration help in mending broken lives, bringing peace to our families, our communities, and this land. DONE: At the Capitol in Topeka under the Great Seal of the State this 23rd day of November, A.D. 2012 BY THE GOVERNOR: Samuel Brownback It amazes me that Kansas used to be a bastion of women's suffrage and civil rights. |

9. I have a similar problem...GOP Rep Mo Brooks (5th District AL)....
....also voted against the Sandy aid bill. He has apparently totally forgotten about all of the Federal aid this district received after the terrible tornadoes of April 27, 2011. More people died in northern Alabama from those storms than the total number of people killed in Tuscaloosa, but you would never know that based on the national media coverage.
For shame, Brooks....you are truly an asshole. |

13. I will join you.
Until we rid ourselves of the trash here it will be like this.
I don't think we are capable of doing it. There are not enough of us and there is too much distance to reach over. No help, no deal. That is the problem and will remain the problem as we sink. We will be the state everyone points to and goes, "Whew, glad that is not our state." <--See that? Brownback will be successful putting us on the map as an example after all. I am sorry to all of you, sick at heart and sorry to see this but not surprised at all. I would love to see any of these 4 assholes out in the wilderness learning to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, apparently what they think you should do. Proud is correct, we do know and understand disasters and how much we need help when they happen. We ARE not all that stupid or heartless. Please know that. |

17. I grew up in Kansas...
My grandfather was a Dem in the state legislature in the 60's , 70's and 80's. He's probably turning over in his grave. I remember there was a show on tv about how Greenburg rebuilt their town completely "green".

Featuring the entire BEAUTIFUL series cast for one final hurrah!
A FREE-SPIRITED GIRL IN NEED OF A BREAK. A MAN WEIGHED DOWN BY RESPONSIBILITY. A ROAD TRIP VACATION WHERE ALL BETS ARE OFF. OH, AND A LOT OF WINE. After walking in on her boyfriend shagging another girl in their place, Pippa Bay Cox ditches London for the States to go on a drunken road trip with Ruby Miller and some of her Beautiful friends.
Scaling the career ladder is the default way to deal with heartbreak-and to just deal-for Jensen Bergstrom.
Absolutely buried by his drive and workload, he rarely takes time for himself.
But when his sister Hanna convinces him to join the gang on a two-week wine tour, he has a rare moment of cutting loose.
Of course, it's only once he's committed that he realizes the strange girl he met briefly on the plane is coming along, too.
She might be too much for him...or he might realize his life has become too small and needs her to make it bigger, crazier.
With this circle of friends there's always something going on: from Chloe and Sara's unexpected personality swaps to Will's new domestic side to Bennett's text message barrage and George's own happily-ever-after. In short, their adventures in love, friendship, and hilarity are nothing short of Beautiful.

So... I haven't been updating since a gazillion years ago and i am bored at work.
Basically, i feel more confident about my spanish now than when i got here and i was really tired of being broke, so i got a job at this convienent chain store.
It pays well, the peeps are good... Almost all peeps. Not counting the old hag that decided to have a grudge on me for some odd reason. That part is still a mystery, but my peeples assume that she is jelly of my swagtastic European life. Whatever.
Anyhoo, more happenings - oh, remember my sister that sworn off eternal love and marriage? Well, irony me this - she is le married!
The wedding was simple but beautiful, we had the afterparty at our house, we were drinking and chillin'.
But don't ask me about the bachelorette party.
No, seriously... my head is still recovering.
If you want to keep up to date with me, i'll leave my social media handles:
Twitter: @deadpoolkathy
Instagram: @deadpoolkathy
... that's it, derp.
Anyways, until then, my nerdosexuals!

Bueno, en realidad no. En algún lugar de la
remota ciudad de Jacksonville, y no en una
taza, pero en un paseo si, en
realidad un autobús Volkswagen rojo '69,

gafas de sol y una enorme pila de libros.

un viaje con sus mejores amigos, Kenny
Landis y Elizabeth Ross (Lizzie si eres perezoso)
para una fiesta de Halloween fuera de un
pequeño pueblo, donde un tipo que hace
grandes fiestas de Halloween tiene una
mansión. Su nombre artístico era Maestro.
Posted via m.livejournal.com.
Plot: Before Maestro became the wicked one at that creepy place outside Normal Valley, he used to be a humble traveler who came across mysterious places and faces and some of them would later haunt him for forever...
Rated: PG-13 for scary moments and semi-vulgar language.
Authors Note: I'm back bitches! This time i'm going dark and spooky. And yes Narnia Nerd readers, Eugene is a version of Keeniee!
November 14th 1896.
"But Master, i told you that place is full of the most vile scum of this forsaken planet!"
"Eugene, take a breath and embrace this. And i told you to call me Marcus."
2 men bickered at the bay in an relatively unknovvn village. One vvas tall, dark and handsome and the other one short, blonde and adorable.
"I told you to stop calling me adorable Marcus! Yet you still do it." the blonde groaned.
"It's because you are..." Marcus teased his little friend and even vent as far as making air kisses. The men vere travelling around to get to knov the vorld better.
Marcus came from a big vealthy family as Eugene vas pretty much the orphan vho had no one except for Marcus.
The nickname Maestro is from Eugene vho alvays get fascinated by his best friends skills. Marcus has a vay vith serenading the ladies and busting a move. And he's intellectual.
"Mate, did you knov that the Maiden's Locks is the eldest tavern in the bay¿" Marcus asked. Eugene vas staring at the vomen passing them by.
"Obviously you knev." Eugene snorted and then they arrived at their hostel.
"Good afternoon my sire, Ve'd like a room for tvo." Marcus kindly asked the recipiant.
"Tvo men¿ That's not normal." The grouchy fat man snarled.
"Oh, ve are just a pair of travelling companions. Ve don't..." Eugene laughed nervously.
"Have a..." Marcus filled in.
"... Sexual..."
"... Connotation.."
The grouch glared at the men.
"Alright, you don't seem freaky enough." Marcus vinced a bit. Eugene knev that his friend hated that vord but if he'd start a fight - no roof over their heads.
"Good afternoon to you too..." He said as Marcus took the keys and marched avay from the grouch.
"... Idiot."
Marcus took a bath at the tub the grouchs vife generously prepared for him, after apologizing on his behalf for her husbands behaviour.
"Ulrich doesn't understand that not everyone can afford separate rooms, or the lust for adventure in a boys soul." she told Marcus earlier.
"I understand. It must be bland to sit all day and give keys to strangers." Marcus nodded.
"Yeah, Ulrich used to be happy."
Marcus liked the vife, she reminded him of his mother. Kind and alvays covering up the mishaps of his dad.
"Say Maestro, shall i go for red or vine red¿" Eugene asked.
"Try going naked." Marcus teased. Eugene valked in, vearing only pants and looking rather annoyed. "Yeah, and have the fat bloke toss us out!" He spat out.
The boys vere preparing a night out in the village to court ladies.
"Think about the beautiful vomen, Gene. They'd be surprised to see your figure, as you usually look like a spud."
"Shit off!" Eugene stormed off from the bathroom and left Marcus alone.
Marcus relaxed in the tub and looked at the candle light next to him. He started to vave his hand in front of it vhen the light suddenly vanished for a second and then it lit up again.
"The blaz-" Marcus looked and lovered his hand as the light became veaker. He raised his hand and the light became stronger.
"Ho-" Marcus rubbed his eyes as he got sure that the ride on the ship must have made him dizzy.
He laughed at his imagination and clapped his hands vhen his lights vent off.
"Eugene! HELP!"

Director: Nicolas Lopez
Starring: Eli Roth, Andrea Osvart, Ariel Levy, Nicolas Martinez...
Genre: Horror, disaster, comedy, suspense.
"Aftershock" starts off at a huge party in Santiago de Chile, where we meet the movie's Wolfpack, if you will. Because there is no denying that you can find some similarities between this trio and the more popular ones from the Hangover movies.
We meet Gringo (Roth) who is this awkward geeky single father who is amazed by South Americas "indie station" that is Chile. Then there is Pollo, the rich douchebag who jokes around and solves everything with his money or photos with him and RZA. Finally we have the sweet Ariel who is suffering from a break-up and the common link between Gringo and Pollo. It takes awhile before we meet the girls of the movie which is Kylie, the crazy partyanimal who wants to ball out, Monica, Kylies more strict sister trying to keep tabs of Kylie and that other girl who i forgot her name but is a single mom.
Lopez wants you to know the guys before shit hits the fan, and when it happens, you pray that at least one of them survives.
Because when the earthquake starts, it all goes downhill from here. No one is safe and things go from worse to 'can't we catch a break?'.
Riots, plundering and rapes occur thanks to the savage prisoners who escape from the prison nearby which broke down.
What i like about the movie is that even though you are sure that no one will make it before the credits, you don't know *how*. There is many gruesome ways as possible to die and Lopez does not spare any expense.
It might be a low-budget flick but it doesn't show at all.
The way the Canon EO5 (Lopez is known for filming with the cameras) captures Valparaiso and the chilean vineyards are simply breathtaking. I have been living in Chile for almost 4 years now but i have never set a foot outside Santiago, and the pretty images just makes me more hungry.
The acting is great, especially from Roth, Martinez, Osvart and Marcial Tagle, a funnyman in Chile who plays a fireman with a dark secret. Seeing Roth as the nerd makes me giddy as i can't imagine the Bear Jew getting flustered or videochat with his daughter. It was his most endearing performance yet.
Martinez and Izzo were great in their transformation from typical assholes to people reacting to danger. Any fan of Lopez movies where Martinez is a regular comic relief will be stunned of how great of a dramatic actor he can be as well.
My only complaints are the long waiting until the earthquake and some other performances. I understans that we should really know the guys but keep up the speed, because i almost snored. But almost.
Secondly i felt that Ariel Levy is typecast as the sadsack post-breakup who mopes a lot and tries to get over it. I mean, he's the same character from the Fuck My Life trilogy - even the ex has the same name as the ex in "Aftershock"!
But those are my only complaints as i feel that Aftershock is a great movie with thrills and spills and has a potential to be a cult hit, especially in Latin America.
I do warn for people who doesn't like gore and rape scenes. But be happy, i saw the director's cut which is far gruesome than the cut you will see.
4 out of 5 Deadpoolkittens.
Posted via m.livejournal.com.
I draw randomly geeky designs for t-shirts because i'm too fucking poor to JunkFood tees. I can brag about one proud KoalaTeeShirt owner being one certain Eli Roth.
Hopefully the pricks at the insurance company in Sweden sends me money because there are so much activities and so little moola. #fml
any questions, feel free to ask.

Recovery Wizard
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Page | Details | ||
Getting started |
For instructions for using this wizard, see: Use this page to specify whether you want to recover the backup from this computer or another computer. |
Specify location type |
If you are recovering from another computer, specify whether the backup is stored on a disk drive or a remote shared folder. |
Select backup location |
If you are recovering a backup stored on a local drive, select the drive from the drop-down list. |
Specify remote folder |
If you are recovering a backup stored on a remote shared folder, type the path to the shared folder.
Select backup date |
Select the date and time of the backup that you will use to perform the recovery. |
Select recovery type |
Specify whether you will be performing a recovery of files and folders, applications, or volumes. |
Select items to recover |
If you are recovering files and folders, under Available items, expand the list until the folder you want is visible. Click a folder to display the contents of the folder (both files and folders) in the adjacent pane. Then click each item that you want to restore. |
Select application |
If you are recovering an application, under Applications, click the application you want to recover. If the backup that you are using is the most recent, you will see a check box labeled Do not perform a roll-forward recovery of the application database. Select this check box if you want to prevent Windows Server Backup from rolling forward the application database that is currently on your server. |
Select volumes |
If you are recovering volumes, select the check boxes associated with the volumes in the Source Volume column that you want to recover. Then, from the associated drop-down list in the Destination Volume column, select the location that you want to recover the volume to. If all the volumes on your server contain system components, you will not be able to perform a volume recovery. Instead, try the following:

Confirmation |
Review the choices that you made in the wizard. When you click Finish, the items will be recovered. |
Recovery progress |
View the status of whether the schedule was successfully created or modified. |
Additional considerations
To perform recoveries using Windows Server Backup, you must be a member of the Backup Operators or Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.
If you are using BitLocker Drive Encryption to protect your server and you need to perform a recovery, make sure to reapply BitLocker Drive Encryption to your server. This will not happen automatically—it must be enabled explicitly. For instructions, see the Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption Step-by-Step Guide (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=93107).

A new year, a new beginning. Last year I took a fair interest in technologies like laser cutting and 3D printing but I still relied on my old 20th century skills for my projects. I must admit that the investment in time to master these new technologies was holding me back to advance in both laser cutting and 3D printing. In the very last month of 2015 I took the decision to produce a case with a laser cutter. It was a revelation. A job that would normally take me a day or so was done in a matter of minutes with a precision that I can never achieve with the old saw and chisel. From that point on I decided to invest heavily, in both time and money, in these new technologies.OpenSCAD
First I learned to work with Inkscape, a free 2D vector drawing program for laser cutting. I discovered that it is a good tool for illustration (e.g for web design) too. Next I needed a 3D design tool to create parts with a 3D printer. I looked at different programs such as Sketchup, 123D Design but I increasing dislike the proprietary character of these programs. Echoing the words of Richard Stallmann "the proprietary program is a system of unjust power". On the non-proprietary side there is FreeCAD and Blender but I found the learning curve of these programs too steep. Then I discovered OpenSCAD when reading an article on HackaDay. It's a free (as in free beer and free speech) program running on Windows, Linux and OSX that has a great community. Instead of using a GUI the user has to scripts his models with a simple descriptive programming language. This seems strange and cumbersome at first but it actually works for me. I found it very easy to get into. OpenSCAD is very lightweight. A GUI in CAD programs tends to be a burden on a PC and OpenSCAD lacks that GUI. Because of the script that OpenSCAD uses it is very apparent what is in the 3D model and what the dimensions are. Lastly the script is saved with the model. The comparison with HTML comes to mind. Therefore it is possible for anyone else to see how a model is made, learn from it and make changes to it. For now OpenSCAD works for me although I'm not sure what will happen if I'll try to design more complex 3D models.Combined elements of the front of the Darth Vader chest box made in OpenSCAD. Still needs some work. |
Parts for the voice changer
The Darth Vader chest box has a very distinctive look with lots of distinctive buttons and other parts (see images below). I modeled these parts with OpenSCAD beginning with the simple buttons working my way up via the coin slots to the complex rods. I'm satisfied with the result thus far. Next I'll 3D print the parts and glue them to the plywood chest box I made earlier.Probably the most simple parts of the chest box are the buttons at the bottom of the box. Modelled in OpenSCAD. |

Young fashioned ways - Koko Taylor
Young fashioned ways - Koko Taylor
Two years before dying at the remarkable age of 81, Koko Taylor sang "
I may be getting older but I've got young fashioned ways
"! I mean... wow! I already feel old at 26, actually I've been feeling old since I can remember. I have always bonded better with adults when I was a kid, I disliked a good bunch of people my age during teenage years as they were doing stupid things, now my body is mostly broken... and I'm lazy, I'm not a party animal, I live well in my own little corner of the world (except when I often take up my bag and travel around the other corners of the world). What I'm trying to say is that I've never felt like I've got young fashioned ways, even if it feels a tiny little bit like I'm living my teenage now, with a little delay...! In the end, being old or young, feeling young or old, each one of us has their own way of living life and looks for different things so as to be happy, don't we?

Letters to the Editor
I recently purchased Applixware 4.4.1. My reason for purchasing it was so that I could interoperate with co-workers who run MS Office. Applixware has the best MS Office import filters I have seen, but they are not quite perfect. I found that while text and tables seem to import well, figures are another story. So far, I have only tried importing a few MS Word 7.0 documents, but in general, the figures fail to convert. I recognize the complexity of the conversion task, and I applaud Applix for doing as well as it does. I hope the filters continue to mature, so that I can finally dump Windows 95 off my machine and use Linux exclusively.

I know that it is late to correct an erratum in the February issue; nevertheless, I think Linux Journal is a magazine to read and save for later use, so even such a late correction could be of some benefit.
The error is in Listing 5 of the article "Attaching Files to Forms", in the column "At the Forge" on page 93. This listing should contain the following line between lines 2 and 3:
no strict "refs";
If this line is not present, the Perl interpreter will abort the script as soon as the variable reference $userfile is used for write. The uploaded file will be created but not written, i.e., it will have zero length.

In the November LJ, "Best of Technical Support" had a question regarding installing Linux (specifically X) on an IBM Thinkpad 365. There is an excellent article regarding this in Linux Gazette, http://www.ssc.com/lg/issue21/notebook.html.
I was able to get X working on Thinkpad using this guide, and the author, Sam Trenholme, was extremely helpful in getting me over a few problems when I contacted him via e-mail.

Your fine web site, http://www.linuxresources.com is usually the first thing I check on weekdays when I boot up. You have helped me greatly in learning about Linux.
Thank you very much for reporting on Dr. Meyer, Eiffel and Design by Contract. Here are three open-source Eiffel and Design by Contract resources:
SmallEiffel, the official GNU Eiffel: http://www.loria.fr/projets/SmallEiffel/

Last week I decided to totally change over to Linux after reading the latest horror story about Windows. Apparently, people connected to the Internet on W-95-98 can be snooped on simply by typing their IP number and a few backslashes. Suddenly, their whole system appears in the other person's MS Explorer window.
So here I am, scurrying to get a faster motherboard and a bigger hard drive. I am all enthusiastic about the new KDE and GNOME projects, yet when I read the installation manuals—S.u.S.E. or Red Hat—I am horrified by how much totally new and alien system configuration is needed for a new Linux user. The problem is exemplified by the marvelous advertising flyer sent out by S.u.S.E. for its 5.2 release. It seduces the user with a DOS-Windows box packed with a lifetime accumulation of precious utilities. It implies that UNIX clones for these treasures (and more) effortlessly await on the new Linux user's desktop. The actual case is that this happens only after endless installations and configurations.
The open-source concept has been much in the news lately, yet it seems that these installation processes are the one place where the open-source environment is not used to evolve solutions to these problems. Rather, it is the special province of the private bundling companies. Regardless of whether they put their products in the public domain, they are not developed in the open. People seem to believe that the greed of these companies will produce the fastest results, but I have not seen any miracles yet. Perhaps there are installation projects underway in the open-source community. If so, nothing could be more critical to the advancement of Linux.
We often hear people crowing in LJ that some huge corporation or the defense department is now more efficient because of Linux. I am much more impressed by ease of use by the ordinary person. If LJ were to make open-source installation projects a continuing focus of articles, it could do an incredible service to the evolution and spread of Linux.
—David Briars firstname.lastname@example.com
Easier installation seems to be what everyone is asking for these days. Red Hat is working on it with LinuxConf, and Caldera with COAS (see article in this issue) —Editor

Child labor...the kind that doesnt hurt~
This is Jesse. He is my son. My first born at that. I saw Miss Rhoda making her walls beautiful and she showed us how! Thanks Miss Rhoda! Now you have had my little head a spinnin'....
See this little plastic box Jesse is working with? Its called a miter saw. The best lil piece of plastic you can get your hands on if you dont have the fancy saws...{which we dont}. So Jesse and I have been busy cutting...and sawing..and messing up..and buying extra,hehe. Its not that hard really. I will show yall more as soon as I can force my childhood labor on him...Till then if you want to see some pretty walls done right, Go here~

Good Morning Miz Susie,
You're teaching Jesse skills that will last a lifetime and he'll have a sense of pride from his accomplishment. Besides what man of any age doesn't love playing around with tools even if it's not the fancy power type? *smiles* Now if only I could manage to get my man-child or hubs to help me with our dining room chair rail *sigh* Only been 3 years I've been awaiting...Love to see boys working. It helps them to feel good about themselves. Hey, little tip, so he doesn't get frustrated with the mitre saw slipping all over the place. My son, attached it to a slightly larger flat peice of plywood, just big enough to kneel on when sawing. it catches the saw dust too. what a difference!
Love your blog. Oh gosh we should do a post together on great summer jobs for sons! Can you imagine what our readers would think!?!
LisaI agree, a great skill to teach our children. My son can't help me just yet, since he is almost 7 months old. Hahah, but hubby and I plan on teaching him these skills so he can be independent as well as our daughter. She is 3 and helps with laundry, loading and unloading the dishwasher. She likes to help me with my chores. :) Can't wait to your project!
p.s. Glad you are back too!! :)Susie, I just noticed after I commented that you have the create a link feature on your post. I asked my readers the other day if any of them knew how this worked but so far we haven't figured out the trick...wondered if you could please explain it to my technology challenged self. Thanks, Coco
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful that you son is doing that. A miter box and saw can be difficult to use...or at least getting the angles right:)but all of us who do a lot of painting know that caulk is our Best Friend;)
Good for you...its the finishing work that makes things beautiful!!!
Can't wait to see.
Oh and you can tell Jesse (or not:) )that all girls like men who know how to use tools:)RYC: I would love for you to come to GA for a visit. I need inspiration and motivation to finish my home design. But You might be able to bring Jesse with you if you tell him I have four beautiful daughters! (Actually 5, but the oldest is married) lol
I love your site and I"m glad I found your blog. I am absolutely going to do Monograms on the girls' (youngest two) wall when I redo their room. I love their room, but they've out grown it. *sigh*
I think Madison's room is precious and perfect for a young lady. I hope to do something like that for the girls. Maybe this summer.Can't wait til my boys get older. HaHa! I got a miter saw for Christmas but just have not had the time to use it. I've done a couple of frames but need to put is to better use. I need to try doing a chair rail. You've inspired me today and you haven't even shown us your project. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI was amazed at what she did over there at SH - so I am very excited to see what you, I, um, er mean, your son, will do for your room!
Sigh - and here I am just excited for the day when Graham and Greg will make their own beds! I'll add that to the list - teach boys to be super with tools. Their wives will love me for it!I need some child labor!! :)
Okay, so I sent you this reeeeeallly sweet email back in response to your comment yesterday. lol. BUT I realized that you don't ever get them, along with half of the blogging community b/c of the way you have your settings...set. I'm off to post about that, so you can start getting all of my wonderfully amazing replies. :)
And thanks, love you too!Call me at work,but before 11am.I need to tell ya somethin, but forgot what , hope it comes back to me before ya call HEHE!! Gotta hit a job fair at the nursing school. Always need nurses. Have a great day. Quote to think about...
BUT IF YOU WORK IT RIGHT, ONCE IS ENOUGH - Joe E. Lewis

Mortgage prequalifying and applying
How can I start my application?
Get started through any of these convenient ways:
- Call us at 1-877-937-9357, Monday – Friday, 7:00 am – 9:00 pm, and Saturday, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm Central Time.
- Find a local consultant and start the application process by phone or in person.
- Request a personal consultation to have a home mortgage consultant contact you.
Does Wells Fargo require a property inspection?
No, but if you're buying a home, it's highly recommended that you obtain a property inspection and make your purchase offer contingent on the findings of the inspection.
There is a difference between a property inspection and an appraisal. An appraisal is required by most mortgage lenders in order to support the value of the real estate and the terms of the mortgage agreement.
Do I need an attorney?
The decision to use an attorney is up to you. In general, real estate attorneys are involved in purchase transactions; refinancing generally doesn't require an attorney. There are many areas of the country where attorneys are not typically used in real estate transactions.
What is the minimum down payment for conventional, FHA, and VA loans?
Wells Fargo offers several low down payment options, including conventional loans (those not backed by a government agency).
- Conventional fixed-rate loans are available with a down payment as low as 3%.
- FHA loans are available with as little as 3.5% down.
- VA loans offer low- and no-down payment options for eligible veterans and other eligible borrowers.
To ensure eligibilty, please talk to a home mortgage consultant to discuss loan amount, loan type, property, and specific program requirements.
How do I know if my mortgage is assumable?
Not all mortgages are assumable, but you can tell if you have one by the language in your note and mortgage. You can also find out by speaking to one of our assumption specialists at 1-800-340-0570.
If you have an existing assumable mortgage, you may be able to add or remove borrower(s) through an assumption loan.
Common reasons for an assumption loan include divorce, legal separation, death, or direct purchase. In these situations, it may make sense to get an assumption loan instead of a traditional purchase or refinance if the terms of the existing mortgage are more favorable than those of a new loan.
Potential benefits:
- May enhance the property's marketability, especially if interest rates are rising
- May not need a new appraisal, lender title policy, survey, and inspection
- There are fees to assume a loan, including closing costs that must be paid separately from the mortgage.
- The buyer or person assuming the loan must meet credit and income qualifications and provide requested documentation.
For more information or to determine eligibility, call the Wells Fargo Assumption Department at 1-800-340-0570.
Rates and terms
How are interest rates determined?
Interest rates are influenced by the financial markets and can change daily – or multiple times within the same day. The changes are based on many different economic indicators in the financial markets. View our current interest rates.
What is a rate lock?
- A rate lock gives you protection from financial market fluctuations that could affect your interest rate range.
- You can choose to lock or not lock your interest rate range. On the date and time you lock, that interest rate range remains available to you for a set period of time.
- If there are no subsequent changes to your loan and your interest rate range is locked, the interest rate range on your application generally remains the same.
- If there are changes to your loan, your final interest rate at closing may be different.
What is the difference between "locking" and floating"?
- Locking ensures that your loan pricing will be unaffected during the lock-in period by giving you a specified period of protection from financial market fluctuations in interest rates.
- Locking sets the range of pricing available to you; it doesn't guarantee that a specific rate will apply.
- Your final rate, which may not be determined until closing, will reflect the pricing that was available at the time you locked.
- Floating – or not locking – means your rate will fluctuate with the up and down movements of the market.
- The benefit to floating is if interest rates were to decrease, you would have the option of locking in at a lower level of rates.
Refer to our Loan Pricing Disclosure for more information.
When can I lock and how much does it cost?
The fee for locking varies.
- You can lock anytime you locate a property, or start your refinancing process, up until ten business days before the closing.
- You can select a specific length of time for your lock, usually 60 days.
Mortgage approval and closing
If I've already been preapproved by Wells Fargo, how long does it typically take to close?
The time to close will vary, depending on your situation. Once you've been preapproved, closing generally occurs within the rate-lock period you've chosen, which can range from 30-90 days.
If I have a Wells Fargo mortgage and want to refinance, will I have to pay closing costs again?
Yes. There are costs related to processing any new loan application; they can include fees paid to third parties, such as an appraiser, the title company, and other closing expenses.
What is an origination charge?
The origination charge is the amount charged for services performed on the initial loan application and loan processing. This includes all charges (other than discount points) that lenders and brokers involved in the transaction will receive for originating the loan. It includes any fees for application, processing, underwriting services, and payments from the lender for origination.
Can I close my loan at a Wells Fargo location?
Each state has its own specific closing requirements, so check with your closing representative for the details. Typically, closings can be held at Wells Fargo locations or at an attorney's office. Some states permit "mail away" - or "mail out" - closings. If you're able to obtain a "mail away" closing, we will send you the documents using overnight delivery.
How much money will be required at closing?
The amount you'll need to close your loan includes your down payment, closing costs, and prepaid amounts for property taxes, and insurance escrow accounts. Prior to closing, you'll be informed of the final amount.
Will homeowners insurance be required at closing?
Proof of homeowners insurance will be required before you can close your loan. Typically, you will need to present an insurance binder and pay for one year's worth of insurance coverage.
What is the difference between mortgage insurance and homeowners insurance?
Mortgage insurance is required if you have less than 20% equity (or down payment) in your home and protects the mortgage lender from losses if a customer is unable to make payments and defaults on the loan. There are two types of mortgage insurance, Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) and Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP). Learn more about PMI and MIP.
A homeowners insurance (or hazard insurance) policy covers loss from damages to your home, your belongings and accidents as outlined in your policy. Learn more about homeowners insurance.
How do I know if I have MIP or PMI?
- You have MIP if you have an FHA loan, which is a type of government loan.
- You have PMI if you have a loan that isn't under a government program and your down payment was less than 20%.
You can also sign on to Wells Fargo Online® and visit the Escrow Details page of your mortgage account to learn which type of mortgage insurance you have.
When can my MIP be removed?
When can my PMI be removed?
You may have options to cancel your PMI based on the original value of your home or by ordering a new appraisal. Learn more about removing PMI.
What is title insurance?
An insurance policy protects a lender and/or homebuyer (only if homebuyer purchases a separate policy, called owner's coverage) against any loss resulting from a title error or dispute.
Is purchasing title insurance mandatory?
All mortgage lenders require lender's coverage for an amount equal to the loan. It lasts until the loan is repaid. As with mortgage insurance, it protects the lender but the borrower pays the premium at closing.
Mortgage account management
Can I have my mortgage payment deducted automatically from my checking or savings account each month?
Typically, after closing your mortgage loan, you will have the option of enrolling in an automatic mortgage payment program. You may be asked to provide an authorization form with a voided check or savings account slip attached to set up the draft. The payment is typically debited on a preset day each month.
Can I make a mortgage payment online?
Yes, you can make a payment and manage your mortgage account online, anytime. Gain instant access to your mortgage account details, loan history, tax and interest data, contact information updates, and more. It's fast, it's simple, and it's FREE! Get more details
Can I pay my mortgage with my credit card?
Although you can't pay your mortgage with a credit card, you can set up automatic mortgage payments so that your monthly payment can be withdrawn automatically from your checking account each month.
Who do I contact if I am having trouble paying my mortgage?
We can help you understand your options if you are facing payment challenges. Call 1-800-678-7986.
Applying for home equity financing
Do I have to own a home to get home equity financing?
Home equity is what's available after subtracting what you owe on your mortgage (and any other outstanding liens) from your home's current market value. If you don't own a home and need financing, look into a personal loan or a line of credit that doesn't rely on home equity.
How much can I borrow?
The amount you can borrow is largely determined by taking your home's appraised or fair market value, and subtracting the balances of any outstanding mortgages and liens on the property. If you qualify, the minimum home equity line of credit amount is $25,000 and in most cases the maximum is $500,000.
Homestead properties located in Texas must be secured by no more than 80% of the combined-loan-to-value or 50% of the fair market value, whichever is less.
