Interested in Language
Dear Teacher,
I would like to apply for a Master's programme in the Univ of Oxford. I would appreciate it If one can check my 1000 word statement of purpose for this master's programme.
Best wishes,
The University of Oxford
December , 2012
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Hendy XXXX applying to your Master in Integrated Immunology starting in October 2013. I have an excellent medical education and an extensive training in cancer research. My aim is to gain comprehensive and in-depth training in fundamental and clinical immunology from worlds leading immunologists at the University of Oxford as well as to have hands-on experience on research in cancer immunotherapy. This education will enable me to work innovatively on research in cancer immunotherapy for my doctoral. Therefore, this Masters programme is an important step for my ambition to be an excellent scientist and entrepreneur in cancer immunotherapy.
Dedicated to relieve peoples sufferings, I was enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine University of Indonesia (FMUI). The curriculum was competence-based and student-centered with problem-based learning modules. I graduated with a Bachelor of Medical Sciences cum laude, top 5% with G.P.A. of 3.89/4.0. Then, I continued my education in the same faculty and gained a Medical Doctor degree. My first exposure to immunology was when I competed in the Indonesian Biology Olympiad where I won a silver medal. Moreover, I became interested in immunology when I took a pre-clinic module on Infection and Immunology where I scored A. I learned that the immune system was determinant for peoples health and there were more to discover in this field. Reflecting my interest in immunology, I took part in an international clinical immunology symposium 2007.
I was an active member of Students Scientific and Research Organization (SSRO) of FMUI, winning some of national-wide scientific competitions. I also published my works in two Indonesian medical journals. Due to these achievements, I was awarded as the most accomplished member of SSRO in 2009 and was awarded by the University of Indonesia.
Besides scientific affairs, I was an active member of International Federation of Medical Students Association organizing international students exchange, an Asian-wide conference and some national-wide medical students competitions. Moreover, I was involved in some charity programs both as organizer and medical volunteer. I was also a choirboy and soloist in the Church choir and became a tutor of advanced biology for the high school Biology Olympiad Team. My leadership potential, social devotion and academic excellence were awarded a Goldman Sachs Global Leader award 2007 by the Goldman Sachs Foundation and International Education Foundation-New York.
During my clinical rotation, I witnessed that cancer caused great sufferings to the patients and their family. Furthermore, this experience became even more personal when my beloved grandmother passed away due to liver cancer. These experiences made me determined to be in the league to fight cancer through my talent: scientific research.
With this spirit and academic excellence, I won a prestigious Utrecht Excellence Scholarship to take a research-based Prestige Masters program in Cancer Genomics and Developmental Biology at Utrecht University. Besides taking nine advanced courses in cancer, genomics, proteomics, and developmental biology, I took three internships which accounted for a total of 17 months of laboratory work. These internships covered the fields of protein signaling pathway, gene expression, and biophysics. I got A, top 5% student with publishable results from all the research projects, demonstrating my ambition, capability in doing cutting edge research and eagerness to learn. I graduated with a maximum G.P.A. of 4.00.
In the Masters study, I learned that cancer interacts with immune system intricately. On the one hand, inflammation promotes oncogenesis; on the other hand, immune system provides barriers to malignancy. Unfortunately, cancer cell can evade immunosurveillance in many ways. To study the intricate crosstalks between cancer and immune system will be beneficial in empowering immune system to fight back against cancer. Believing in the promise of cancer immunotherapy, I have established my scientific vision: to engineer immune system to combat cancer. This vision is a marriage of my interests in cancer, immunology, and technology.
To start realizing my scientific vision, I wrote my thesis about methods to target dendritic cells in vivo for cancer immunotherapy. In addition, I was selected to undertake a two month internship project on immunological tolerance at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg where I learned immunology-related techniques. In January 2013, I will work on a project in viral vector as a DNA delivery system for vaccination at Leiden University Medical Center.
To fulfill my vision, I feel the need to have a comprehensive and in-depth training in fundamental and clinical immunology. This will enable me to work innovatively in the field of cancer immunotherapy. I find that the Master in Integrated Immunology at the University of Oxford fits my ambition. Oxford University is a world leading institution in immunology. By maintaining excellence for almost a millennium, Oxford University has shaped the world as it is today and keeps on innovating for the betterment of humankind. To get a transformative education from this prestigious university will be an honor to me. Not only that I want to excel in the Masters programme, but I also want to participate in college/university activities given my talent and interests in choral singing, nature, and humanity. Furthermore, the network which I will build with Oxfords professors, fellow students, and college community will be beneficial for my future career.
Furthermore, some of the most respected experts in cancer immunotherapy like Professor XXXX and Professor XXXXX are affiliated with the university. I am eager to do my 3rd term project in one of their laboratories, and hopefully to do my doctoral thesis there as well. The Masters programme will inspire me to fulfill my scientific vision.
Given my past history of commitment to excellence, I am confident that I will bring a high level of energy and enthusiasm to your programme. In addition, my international background and multidisciplinary education will add more diversity to your program. My ambition, openness, educational background, talents, and clear vision will be keys for the success of me completing this programme.
Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to your acceptance.
Sincerely yours,

Southern Rednecks Are Turning Blue
It now seems certain that the Republican Party will be progressively losing its stranglehold on the deep South as each election cycle passes.
CNN reports:
When presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney appears before Latino small-business owners in Washington on Tuesday, he'll address a group whose explosive birth rates foreshadow a seismic political shift in GOP strongholds in the Deep South and Southwest.
"The Republicans' problem is their voters are white, aging and dying off," said David Bositis, a senior research associate at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, who studies minority political engagement.
"There will come a time when they suffer catastrophic losses with the realization of the population changes."
Over the next several generations, the wave of minority voters — who, according to U.S. Census figures released this week, now represent more than half of the nation's population born in the past year — will become more of a power base in places like Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia. That hold will extend across the Southwest all the way to California, experts say.
The coming political revolution could result in a massive changing of the guard on nearly every level of government, potential cultural clashes, and the type of political alliances that are now considered rare.
According to the Pew Hispanic Center, Southeastern states such as Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee boast some of the greatest percentage increases in Latino population growth. They are also states where the percentage of Hispanics roughly doubled.
So far, Republican efforts to offer Latinos a place at the table have fallen short.
The nation's Hispanics tend to vote Democratic, and overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama and Joe Biden in 2008.
Romney in particular has stumbled with this critical voting bloc, after his comments suggesting that making the economic landscape tough for illegal immigrants will force them to "self deport."
If Republicans continue to struggle to appeal to Latino voters, Spanish-language ads may not stave off a change that experts like Bositis see coming in the not too distant future, when states such as Georgia go purple and eventually blue.
"There'll be a tipping point where you've got the Republicans in charge, but you'll get to the point when the population becomes minority," Bositis said. "When that happens the statewide offices will fall. Republican governors will fall. Things will change."
This is all good news for the Democratic Party. The Dixiecrats will be returning.
Please click on the song link below to familiarize yourselves with the tune and to have more fun singing along with the parody.
I Get A Kick Out Of You song link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh4r_mrq4sk&ob=av2n
(sung to the Frank Sinatra song "I Get A Kick Out Of You")
My state, thank God is not red, it is blue
We're truly progressive, liberal yes it's true
The only exception I know is the case
A few reps from the G.O.P., boy the Statehouse must be so lonely
Re-pub-licans now clearly see
They have been outpaced
I don't care much for McCain
Giuliani doesn't appeal to me
Herm Cain is without a damn clue
And Sarah Palin, "also, too"
Collins and Snowe they're from Maine
It would be rich if they both made the switch
"Vacation-land" would be totally blue
Republicans would be so few
I get a kick every time the Grand Ole Party implodes before me
I get a kick cuz it's clear to see, they obviously simply bore me
I don't care much for McCain
Mike Huckabee doesn't do much for me
Mitt Romney commands the flip-flopping crew
So I get a kick
Oh, it gives me a boot
I get a kick that we're blue

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 608 diseños de 147 diseñadores freelance.
ODIN Software
ODIN Software is a relatively new software company in Iceland. Our only product is the ODIN booking system for travel agencies and tour operators.
We want ODIN to make life easier for our customers and we want the experience of using ODIN to be fun and reliable.
We want the new identity to promote ease of use, simplicity and stability, all things we relate to our software product.
ODIN is a web based tour operator software solution.
We are mainly targeting travel companies in Europe (mostly Scandinavia for now), travel agencies, tour operators and destination management companies. These are tipically small to mid size organizations.
These are tipically well educated individuals, intelligent and driven. So our identity has to be strong and stable.
We are looking for something high tech, modern, edgy, cool but not too flashy as it has to represent stability and simplicity. The logo has to be able to represent the company (ODIN Software) and the software itself (ODIN).
We don't want just fancy lettering, we want a design with both text and drawings.
We will take the feel of the logo and use it throughout our software, you can see some screenshots on our website under http://www.odinsoftware.net/showtell/
Logos that we like:
Current logo:
Main color: #162E64
Supporting color: #536897
Be creative with the colors though, we are not locked on those colors, although the dark blue one is around our system in a lot of places.

The NFL said it will look into a team asking Colorado tight end Nick Kasa if he liked girls at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe wants the NFL to make it abundantly clear to all teams that those questions are unacceptable -- especially to those at the combine looking to impress.
"They need to make it clear this is not a question that should be asked," Kluwe told "The Dan Patrick Show" on Friday. "The player is in a very vulnerable position right there, because he can't exactly tell a team 'go f- yourself' because he's looking for a job. And that gives the team a lot of power."
Kluwe has actively lobbied for same-sex marriage rights in Maryland, Minnesota and California.
"I can understand why teams are asking it, because they have this almost pathological need to know as much information as possible about players," Kluwe said. "They're going to be making a relatively large investment in that player, and anything that is surrounding that player can come back to the team.
"It doesn't matter what your sexuality is; it matters what can you do on the field. Hopefully in a couple of years, maybe a decade, we'll be past this."
Kudos to Kluwe for continuing the fight for equal rights.

Probably not, but I've done them anyway.
First, I've done a Let's Play for Gothic with the Dark Mysteries mod. This began during a time where my commentary and editing skills were not optimal, and it shows in a rather less-than-professional video series. But for those interested, here's the playlist anyway.
And more recently, I am in the process of Gothic II: Gold edition. These videos are of better quality, so hopefully you'll enjoy them a bit more. And this series is on-going, so you're welcome (and encouraged) to subscribe and you will know as soon as I upload them.
I've also done Risen and Risen 2 on my channel as well. Risen 2 was completed before the first one, and if I may be frank, you can avoid this one. I was terrible during that time.
Risen was much the same, but I postponed it for a very long time before beginning again at Episode 31, so all videos from that point on are much better.
Playlists here:
I've done plenty of other things as well, so if you're interested, just give my whole channel a view and see if anything catches your eye.
Cheers, my friends!

Currently a community of approximately 4,000 people, Carter Lake, Iowa lies west of Omaha's Eppley Airport. The city is unique in that it is surrounded on three sides by Omaha and the fourth by the Missouri River, making it the only city in Iowa located west of the this river. This oddity is a result of a major flood that occurred in the 1870's. It drastically changed the River's channel, allowing an oxbow lake to form where the River had originally run. Today the outside perimeter of the lake is surrounded by Levi Carter Park, a Nebraska entity, and the inner portion of the oxbow is Carter Lake, the Iowa city. The lake itself is owned and maintained by both states.
Early on, the area within the oxbow developed into a popular recreational area with club houses, permanent homes and lakeside summer cottages built by many wealthy Omahans. Fishing, boating, parks, and sandy beaches along with restaurants, ballrooms and casinos were also venues which attracted patrons looking for a good time.
Numerous lawsuits over boundaries and ownership involving Iowa, Nebraska and residents of the area ended with the city being incorporated as its own municipality within the state of Iowa in 1930. Today it has its own mayor, city council, and fire department and there is a new elementary school which is a part of the Council Bluffs School District. Middle and high school students are transported to schools in Council Bluffs.
Homes of many styles and ages can be found in Carter Lake today and the lake has been dredged in some areas with fine sand brought in for beaches in lakeside communities. The Carter Lake Preservation Society is actively working to improve water quality with many major successes. Work on this project remains with Iowa and Nebraska contributing funds and planning for the future.
"Small, friendly community," "peaceful and quiet," "water sports close to city amenities," are comments from current residents.

Even after I remove my makeup, I have dark rings around my eyes. What can I do?
You're probably not washing off all your mascara. "Go for an eye-makeup remover that contains equal parts of oil and water," advises derm Kenneth Beer, of Palm Beach, Florida. Choose a bottle that shows the two layers of oil and water separated-this way, you know there's an even ratio. Try Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Total Makeup Remover, $10.

Rated 4 out of 5 by FourKiddos from Microwave Your Sweet Potatoes! I went to use this for the first time the other day to make sweet potatoes, and I was so disappointed. I could not get them to budge, and neither could my husband. I ended up cutting them by hand. I was so frustrated. I told my brother about it, and he suggested that I should have microwaved the sweet potatoes for a few minutes before cutting them. I just tried that, and it worked like a charm! I wish I would have thought of that the other day when I needed them for a party!!! I had to come back and write a review so that others would know what helped me!Date published: 2017-02-07Rated 5 out of 5 by CanuckRick from Love this FF Cutter I've had the cutter for more than a year and use it at least weekly. Sweet potatoes, which I am not fond of anyway, are somewhat problematic - too firm, but all other vegetables like Russet potatoes (best FF) cut like a charm. I can clean the unit - take the blades off; remove and clean the support tray; clean the pusher plate and re-assemble in less than 1 minute. That's it. I have also purchased additional blades for "other cuts" IMO it is a high quality, low maintenance product that I highly recommend.Date published: 2014-07-27Rated 1 out of 5 by deb929 from Not for sweet potatoes I bought the French Fry Cutter primarily for sweet potatoes. We used this with the suction cups on a counter, not mounted to a wall. That may make a little difference if you could mount on a wall to use more leverage. The first attempt with the whole potato my husband could not get the cutter to budge. After picking potato out of the cutter bit by bit we quartered the sweet potato. My husband used most of his strength to pull the lever. After cleaning up that mess we tried a russet potato, it was a easier. To clean you have to take 3 wing nuts off the blade to remove it AND unscrew the push plate with a screwdriver. Too much work! I am returning this product. There is a youtube video (Dr. Nappi Video, Weston Sweet Potato Fry Cutter Review Fiasco) demonstrating a girl sitting on top of a counter pushing the lever if you want a laugh and warning not to buy for sweet potatoes!Date published: 2014-02-02

Wanted: Empty Stomachs! Wrestlers Hosting Hog Roastby Jim Amidon • November 3, 2005 Share:
The Wabash College wrestling team is hosting a hog roast on Saturday with all proceeds being donated to the Boys and Girls Club of Montgomery County.
Wrestlers will begin roasting the hog behind Byron P. Hollett Little Giant Stadium Friday evening. Serving of pork barbecue sandwiches and drinks will begin about 11:30 a.m. and continue through the game or until the food is gone. There is no charge for the food, but the wrestlers hope you'll donate charitably for the benefit of the Boys and Girls Club.
"We wanted to get into the community and help with a great area program that is doing great things for youth," said Coach Brian Anderson. Anderson say the wrestlers donated all of the seed money to get the event started.
"The entire team will be out in full force to make sure that this event is a total success. I thought it was a awesome idea when the guys proposed it to me and was very impressed that they had the desire to put on such an event. This kind of action shows what kind of student athletes we have a Wabash College, they are truly classy individuals."
The Boys and Girls Club of Montgomery County offers after-school programs for youth throughout the county. Additionally, the Club sponsors competitive soccer, basketball, and softball leagues. The Club serves thousands of youth each year, and gets most of its financial support from private donations and the Montgomery United Fund for You (MUFFY).

Q&A with Laura Watkins
Related Links
The 10th-ranked UC San Diego women's volleyball team is off to a 12-2 start and is preparing for the most competitive part of the CCAA schedule with the likes of ranked teams in Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State L.A., Cal State Bakersfield and 2nd-ranked Cal State San Bernardino on tap between now and Oct. 15. Part of the early season success stems from the play of the lone senior on the team, Laura Watkins. The
Q-How do you feel about the performance of the team so far?
WATKINS- I'm really proud of what we've been able to accomplish so far. With such a young team, we've kind of been regarded as the underdogs coming into this season and I think that we've proven throughout the first part of competition that we are a team to beat and that we can play with the best of them. That being said, we still have a lot of growing to do as a team and as a new program, but it's already happening so rapidly that it will be exciting to see where we can go this year.
Q- What is something difficult about the Libero position that others might not expect?
WATKINS- Even though there are some amazing players at the Libero position, I still think that we're under the radar. Most everyone notices the big attackers and blockers on the court, but sometimes forget what happened before the ball even reached the offense. A good Libero also has to run the court from the back and really provide a lot of direction and stability for the rest of the team.
Q- Name one of your proudest volleyball memories?
WATKINS- One of the most exciting matches that I've been a part of while at UCSD was our regional semi-final match against Hawai'i Pacific University last year. We beat them in an emotional five game thriller, which felt to most of us on the team like the championship match of the year.
Q- What's the most embarassing thing that's happened to you on the court?
WATKINS- Well, there could definitely be a handful of those, but one of the worst was when I received a concussion from a former teammate, Kendra Canape, during a play and was so disoriented that I ended up walking/stumbling towards the bleachers instead of my defensive position on the court(and then was subbed out...).
Q-With so many newcomers on this team, is the team aware of the UCSD wvb history (i.e. rivalry w/ CSUSB)?
WATKINS- I think that some of the newcomers are starting to figure out who our bigger rivals are, like
Q-You already have more aces that all of last season. Have you changed anything?
WATKINS- As a team, and personally, we're definitely serving much more aggressively than last year and with that comes a lot of pressure on the other teams' serve receive. All of the extra aces are accounted for by us stepping it up behind the service line and displaying some new skills.
Q- With 10 serves, how many do you think you could hit a sheet of binder paper placed on the 3-meter line?
WATKINS- I think I could reasonably hit about 3-5 on any given day. Although, that is a pretty small target.
Q- You were born in
WATKINS- I moved to
Q- Do you keep in touch with other
WATKINS- Even though UCSD is a pretty large campus, I've been able to keep in touch with quite a few people that I graduated with from
Q- What are your plans after graduation?
WATKINS- I actually don't have any set plans for when I graduate yet, but I would like to find a job that's relevant to my field of study (Management Science), and I hope to start working in the summer. Sometime in the future, I'd like to get my MBA and possibly own my own business or work in interior design.
Q- Are there athletic backgrounds in your family?
WATKINS- My family has always been active and healthy but not everyone played a lot of sports (although my Mom did well in track and field throughout her school years). My older sister is more of the artistic, independent type, but ironically got me started in volleyball in the 3rd grade. My younger sister has been playing various sports throughout her childhood (volleyball, soccer and softball) and is starting to follow in my own footsteps by playing club and school volleyball at the same positions that I did when I was her age.
Q- How has your role changed in this year, from last year?
WATKINS- I think that I've taken on a bigger role this year, being the only senior, and playing the libero position. I'm also one of the captains on the team and can provide veteran leadership to a lot of the newcomers. Also, being on the court so often, I feel like I can really help lead this team, along with other players and our new coaching staff, to where we want to get this year.
Q- What do you like to do outside volleyball?
WATKINS- Being from
Q- Name a strength of this team and something it needs to improve on.
WATKINS- We've always emphasized that serving and passing will, more often than not, determine the outcome of a game and I think we've proven so far that we're on top of that---if that ever breaks down during a game is when we tend to lose most of our points. Our transition game has also improved since the beginning of the season, since we've been putting so much work into it in practice. And, defense has always been one of our consistent strengths.
I think one thing that we could improve on is our mental game---keeping up our intensity no matter who we are playing and being able to control the tempo of the game from our side of the net. Also, we're starting to learn why we run the offensive and defensive systems that we do so that should be a huge plus when we can put everything together.
Q- What do you like about Tom Black and expect from the UCSD vball program in the upcoming years?
WATKINS- Tom has been a great coach for us so far. He's an intense guy and knows what he wants to get out of us and I think that he and our assistants (who've also been huge factors in our success so far) can take us to a level that we haven't experienced before. We're doing so many new things--skills, stats, and video--and it's been great for our program so far. We have many goals that we'd like to achieve as a team and I believe that it's all right there for the taking.
Q- Homecoming and the WVB alumni game is coming. Will that be emotional for you?
WATKINS- It's always great to get continued support from our fan base and from past teammates and friends. I know that a lot of graduated players come back to watch many of our games and I plan on doing the same thing after this year. It's hard to let go of a program that you've been a part of for so long--but it's also gratifying to know that you helped get it to where it is today and where it will be in future years.

A DIY Design Education
Build your own design curriculum without going to design school.
I'm a student at Stanford and a product design intern at Facebook, where I help design products for billions of people around the world. But I'm not studying design—I spend my time in school taking classes on philosophy, computer science, psychology, and linguistics. Instead, most of what I know about product design comes from independent learning and on-the-job experience.

Metrics Versus ExperienceWant to have a productive conversation about metrics and good experiences? Here's what I've learned.
A Sense of Where You Are
Why it takes organization and process to get things done as a designer.
The trouble with essays about design process is that they read like some sanctimonious twit regaling you with stories about their rosy life. I appreciate that you don't want to hear that it takes organization to get things done. It's all totally obvious, yet surprisingly hard to do day-to-day when you'd rather be learning Framer and coding a prototype. So I'll try to keep this rooted in my direct experience.
The problem with simplicity...

Six Steps to Building Domain Expertise in a Complex Industry
Spoiler alert: you're almost NEVER the only person who doesn't understand something complex.
About four years ago, I decided to take the plunge and join the Facebook Ads & Pages group to help build a design team for this crucial area of the business. I knew it was one of the biggest design opportunities in the industry, and I was excited to learn something new.
Unintuitive Lessons on Being a Designer
Of everything I believe, this goes deepest to my core: we can all be better. And so we should be.
I sometimes joke that everything I have ever learned about design, I learned from my first job. Nowadays, this first job has extended to nearly ten years, its soul consistent even as its shape unfurls in depths and colors I could never have imagined in the beginning.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Researchers
What's the difference between a good researcher and a great researcher?
"Move Fast" is one of Facebook's best known mottos, which can be seen on posters that decorate the walls of our offices around the world. Although the philosophy of Moving Fast allows Facebook to design and improve products for people all over the world, every once in a while it's important to slow down, take a step back, and reflect.
Enterprise Software Design: A Call to Arms
Enterprise and business software should be as human-centered and approachable as consumer technology. And it's the responsibility of designers to get us there.
Today, many products we use in our daily lives are nothing short of miraculous. There's an increasingly impressive array of well-crafted mobile apps that do a myriad of things. Many modern appliances are easier to operate than ever; even our thermostats have become smart and connected. But all these advances apply mostly to the products we choose to use...

Emotional Intelligence in Design
Without mindfulness, products might only be rude, but they might also affect someone's health, their support systems, or their very livelihood.
We're on a journey together, you and me. We've come a long way, but design for the web is still in its adolescence. In the early aughts we learned to build websites without tables, then we learned to use data to make decisions. Emotion never played a role in driving page views, purchases or video plays. We just needed to get people from point A to point B...

Designing From Scratch
About a year ago, we were discussing how strange it was that a mobile advertising tool for marketers didn't exist... so we built one.
About a year ago, a couple of team members and I were discussing how strange it was that a mobile advertising tool for marketers didn't exist. My team, the ads growth team, spends its time building products that make it easier for small businesses to advertise successfully on Facebook. But the majority of Facebook Ads products have been built with full-time marketers in mind. These people buy Facebook ads at work on their computers...

*wrote this one a while ago, but took it down to try to submit it a couple places. No such luck, so I thought I'd post it again:
when the western horizon you've relied upon is engulfed in flames
when the tv screen screams and the telephone blares and you have
to leave home, have to say goodbye to the place you call home
when you have to run from your memories into clinical stations
into big giant rooms with terrible beds and the floors are flooding
with mothers and fathers and children engulfed in tears drowning out
the western light of chaos out of the western wind, the mountains on fire
when God is a child with a matchbook and somehow God is a fire truck too
when hopelessness spreads like wildfires spreading like the house you used your
soft hands to build and your hard heart to make a home to live and love within
when the grey ghosts like titans tear at your rib cage; your ceiling beams
when there is a genocide on your happiness being composed by an insane conductor
when the evergreens are nevermore and in your rearview mirror is everything
you could carry and in your rearview mirror is smoke and ash and years gone away
when the radio is calm voices that shriek through your sweating forehead and
how are they so calm? why are they so calm? in their cool newsrooms as the reports
pour in like fires like endless fires amongst mountains older than any of us and it
follows you everywhere like a murderer chasing your family down interstate twenty-five and
when you seek refuge in denver, in the hearts and homes of anyone who'll have you
and you just want to turn off the television and turn off the lights and turn off the sky
when your tears are not enough, when they fight the fires but the fires fight back
when you don't know what tomorrow looks like and when yesterday is just a dying
phoenix flying falling on its final pair of wings when ashes to ashes and dust to dust
when the road is home but the road is not your home, when you learn to carry your
home inside of yourself and when home is your child's hand in the palm of your hand
there is struggle and there is a day you have to go back to the debris and the rust and death
and shovel through to see what the world looks like if you were not a part of it but
when you are forced to do all this, i admire your courage and anyone caught in the cross-
fires knows that this too will pass and until it does i wish you serenity and love and don't let
the fires that burn endlessly swallow the stories i have heard in your throat and see in your
red eyes.

Sleepwalkers - Collector's Edition
In 1992 I was particularly fond of the movie based on Stephen King's first original screenplay "Sleepwalkers," the story of mother and son creatures who need to find a virgin to feed on in order to stay alive. Maybe it was the stirring of longing I had for hottie Brian Krause or my gay-boy crush on the gorgeous Madchen Amick. Whatever it was, I found it fun and a little scary.
Cut to 2018, and Shout Factory has given us a special edition Blu-ray release. Finally, I can revisit this beautiful... mess. Yeah, it's a pretty bad movie in many aspects. The story is completely confused and a bit nonsensical. (Why are they cat creatures yet can die at the scratch of a cat?) The creature design is apropros, but silly. It has a very slow set-up with nothing really scary happening except a random opening scene (featuring Mark Hamill) that never really comes into play later on. And the incestuous aspect just seems to be there for shock value rather than a significant plot point.
That said, it's still amusing and Madchen Amick rises above the material managing to be both adorable (why didn't she do more comedy?) and believable even when she's struggling with a stunt man in a slimy cat creature body suit. Alice Krige as the slinky, seductive mama creature is always great, adding a Shakespearean grandeur to the role which oddly makes it work in spades.
Special Features are fun, although director Mick Harris does seem to think he's created a masterpiece, while actors Krause and Amick know the whole thing is a bit of a goofy lark. Because of that, the short doc featuring our leads is fun because they have a great casual chemistry without the pretention that some actors might bring to the conversation. Even in the audio commentary, those two make the whole affair lighthearted and kind of cute. Harris does as well, but again, he's so proud of his film he seems to be on a different page than the others.
There's also an interview with Krige who is delightful and, despite a varied body of work, speaks highly of the experience.
There are also features on the special effects, the theatrical trailer, TV spots, and Behind the Scenes footage.
For fans of early '90s horror, this is a fun treat. It's not quite as special as you may remember, but it was fun to revisit at least one more time.

Hey Adam, wow can't believe someone turned you in. I was gonna respond back to you on ADV after reading some of this thread, but dang you're out again. I would think most people would not care enough to report to the Mods. But seems Big Brother was watching.
I for one haven't been threatened to be banned for sarcasm as I rate high on that personality trait. Usually save those replies for Old school posters. it surprises me that some of the conflict between some posters continues. As they are always thumping chest as each other.
