No one's mashed taters compare to my ma's. But her secret is cream cheese. A whole 8 oz. brick of it in a Thanksgiving-sized batch. They are the creamiest, most flavorful, most wonderful mashed potatoes ever. And I'm not even that big a fan of spuds in the first place.
I think a potato ricer is well worth the money. It makes fluffy melt-in-the-mouth mashed potatoes (and potato salad that will cause a riot) because the potatoes are not over-beaten. I add buttermilk (heated in the microwave), 1/8 teaspoon salt per potato, and real butter. I also boil the potatoes in their skins, ladle them out onto a clean towel, scrape off the hot skin (it comes off quickly and easily) and run them through the ricer.
I love using three kinds of potatoes to take advantage of the color and texture of each, garlic that has been cooked slowly and over low heat, and some parmesan: Slow-Cooked Garlic and Parmesan Mashed Potato Trio
I love them french style, even though it is so heavy on cream! Easy to make too.
i pierce then bake at 160deg c. for 1.5hrs. cut in half, scoop out. add 1/4 weight in butter and mash. easy, killer.
Use floury potatoes, warm milk and LOTS of butter. Season well.
Oh, and no need for a ricer. A fork will give a smooth purée (if that's what you're after).
My dad uses cream cheese in his mashed potatoes too. They're so good that I used to bring the leftovers to my high school friend who claimed her mom couldn't make mashed potatoes. Once I wrapped them and gave them to her for Christmas.
I boil the potatoes with plenty of salt, rice them, then whip them with a quart of cream for every pound of butter, some roasted garlic, plenty of sour cream or cream cheese, whichever I have, and some salt ground white pepper.
Mashed potatoes should be the star of Thanksgiving in my book :)
When preparing mashed potatoes for guests who do not eat dairy products, use a mixture of equal parts almond milk and full-fat coconut milk. It's much creamier, tastier, and easier to digest than soy milk.
Steamed, peeled potatoes + hot milk + butter whipped with a kitchen aid mixer whip attachement. Makes a really light potato that is perfect for gravy. I enjoy richer style mashed potatoes but not on holidays. I don't want them to compete.
Follow Martha Stewart's recipe and you cannot go wrong. So simple. To mash though, I use my kitchen aid mixer and slowly add in butter and warmed up cream, they never come out gummy or over done.
I never peel mine and "mash" them with my kitchenaid.

Twitter All Over Your Coffee Table
It's our personal belief that no home is complete without at least one coffee table book. It looks great, shows a bit of culture and, if you do it right, can be a representation of the home dwellers who live there—even if they're social network nerds.
TweetBookz is an online retailer that creates 'TweetBooks,' a hard- or soft-cover coffee-table-style book full of up to 200 of a person's tweets.
All you've got to do is sign in on the TweetBookz Web site with your Twitter account. Your last 200 tweets will be included in the book, minus any that you specify be removed. Then your 5.5" by 8.5" book is created, with a full-color cover and black-and-white recycled pages of one tweet each, and shipped to you. The soft cover version costs $20 and the hard cover is $30.
And as a bonus for us picky aesthetites, you can pick from one of four design templates so you're sure to find the perfect book to sit front-and-center on the coffee table.

What a great way to waste more paper! My ramblings are so important I want a tree to die with my words.
yeah, this to me is just stupid. Most people don't have anything good to say on twitter.
Now, can you publish other people's tweets? Not that i would want to but if it was someone you really liked what they said? But once again, most people don't say anything good on there.
Wow. Definite waste of paper.

Winter in Manhattan. The Radio City Rockettes have packed in the Christmas spectacular. The ribbons and lights hung by the cash registers with care have been sold at 50% off. The Bronx may still be up, but the mercury is way down.
There's a way to enjoy New York's delights — the shows, the shopping, the fine dining, the posh hotel, the cheesy behind-the-scenes tours that you secretly love — without freezing while trying to hail a cab.
So, leave the Eskimo boots at home. (Uggs are so last year.) If you're so inclined, you can spend a weekend wining, dining, shopping and getting your culture fix without ever leaving the building — if your building happens to be the Time Warner Center.
The $1.7-billion, 55-story center, completed a year ago, is New York's most ambitious skyscraper project to be built since the 2001 terrorist attacks. Perched jauntily on Columbus Circle where Broadway meets Central Park South, the twin-pronged center soars 750 feet and contains one of the most expensive apartments ($45 million) sold in New York City.
If you're a tourist who wants to come in from the cold and stay in, the center holds almost everything you'll need — the Mandarin Oriental hotel, the CNN backstage tour, the Samsung product showcase, a high-end shopping gallery, half a dozen of the best restaurants in town and a large dose of haute culture, courtesy of the new Jazz at Lincoln Center theater complex.
Such creature comforts don't come cheap, however. A weekend spent exploring the Time Warner Center could test your credit limit. On the bright side, you'll save on taxi fare.
A blizzard, you say? Why, it's so cold out that you just may feel compelled to snuggle under the covers and order up a hot toddy from room service. Here's my New Yorker guide to a hot winter weekend in cold Gotham.
Inside the hotel
The high rollers who stay at the Mandarin Oriental don't settle for low floors with brick-wall views. That's why the guest rooms start on the 38th floor and soar skyward from there. It's all part of the my-skyscraper-is-bigger-than-yours mentality that drives New Yorkers. Gazing out the bathroom window with its commanding Central Park view, I couldn't help but wonder why I didn't have a deep, Japanese-style marble soaking tub in my own apartment. Come to think of it, why is this bathroom with its dual vanity, separate tub and shower, and tastefully hidden toilet roughly the square footage of my entire apartment? Well, because I'm a New Yorker whose last name isn't spelled T-R-U-M-P.
I like the rooms at the Mandarin Oriental because, like any regular Joe, I think having several flat-panel LCD TVs in my suite is swell. Besides, it's fun to stare out your floor-to-ceiling glass windows while reclining on a posh settee. A high-art book arranged artfully on the low accent table reminds me that a stay at the Mandarin Oriental isn't just about swanky excess; it's about tasteful swanky excess.
The only thing better than the rooms may be the hotel's immaculate spa with its steam rooms, exercise equipment, treatment rooms and aerie minimalist pool. The weather outside may be frightful, but who cares when you're floating in a cloud-level pool of blue? Post-swim, you can take a break from all that leisure in a relaxation room equipped with cushy white chaise longues and a water cooler infused with floating citrus that looks as though it were snatched from a SoHo art gallery.
The Time Warner Center caters to two of my interests. I'm a news junkie. And, as with most men, my hands get sweaty and my heart beats faster when I get to stare at and play with the latest high-tech gadgets.
Inside CNN, modeled after the CNN studio tour in Atlanta, gives guests a chance to go behind the scenes at the first 24/7 news network. It's like the walk-along version of the Universal Studios tour but substitutes Larry King for the shark-attack sequence.
Evening tours (5:30 until the final 8 p.m. departure) are the best times to see such broadcasters as Lou Dobbs, Paula Zahn and Anderson Cooper. The tour I took wound past glassed-in CNN memorabilia (think Ted Turner's original office telephone) and provided a glimpse of an egalitarian Cooper sitting among his staff and doing journalistic-type work. I resisted the urge to bang on the glass to get his attention.
After the tour and the inevitable gift shop stocked with every form of T-shirt and stuffed fluffy object a heart could desire, I stepped into the Samsung Experience next door. It's not a store, it's an "experience" — really — because you can't buy anything.
All I could do was drool over little silvery cellphones that are several seasons out of date in South Korea but won't hit the States for months. Anyone who thinks his Blackberry is as good as it gets should spend 20 minutes seeing the phones that South Koreans have. They play videos, record video, make you dinner. OK, so they don't make you dinner yet, but you can get a glimpse of homevita, an Internet-enabled home network and automation system due to appear stateside this year. It'll let you control your dishwasher or dial down your air conditioning from the office.
If you'd prefer to browse through a product showcase where you can actually buy stuff, the Shops at Columbus Circle on the bottom levels of the skyscraper oblige with several floors of goodies from the likes of Godiva, Bose, Williams-Sonoma, Coach, Tumi, Joseph Abboud, Hugo Boss and Tourneau.
If I had spent as much time window shopping on Fifth Avenue, I would have been cold and hungry. In the heated Time Warner Center, I was just hungry. So I skipped down a few escalators to the mammoth Jamba Juice-equipped Whole Foods Market food court in the basement. There, I settled on Indian food and lunched next to a mod wall of pulsating, shifting colors. You could always take your food back to your hotel room too. The commute is easy; just hop in the elevator.
After lunch, sweat off the calories in the Mandarin Oriental's clubby workout room or go back downstairs (one level below Whole Foods on Concourse Level 2) to the Equinox Fitness Club, where classes include Anusara Yoga and Cardio Sculpt.
A hot weekend in cold Gotham
With all there is to see, do, eat and buy inside Time Warner Center, you may never step outdoors.

master server identification
I was reading in the documentation about the run-time flow and was wondering about step 3, or "Membase client hashes KEY, identifies KEY's master server". How is the master server determined, is it via some broadcast protocol?
Also our memcache client is set to use one IP within the membase cluster. What happens if this node is not available? Should we be adding each IP of the cluster to the memcache client constructor?
Thanks for your inquiry Berty.
-A normal memcached client will perform its own hashing and send a get/set to a particular Membase server (or its local Moxi if running a client-side Moxi). This will then be received by Moxi (either on that server or the local one), rehashed and sent to the key's "master server". This identification is based upon a vbucket mapping that is passed to Moxi. The mapping is updated when a node is added or removed from the cluster or a failover is performed. An enhanced "smart client" (such as the Enyim client for .NET) will understand that vbucket mapping and identify the "master server" itself.
-If you are only pointing at one server and it goes down, yes you will have a problem. You can solve this either by giving the client more than one IP of the cluster (could be all, doesn't "have" to be) or by running a client-side Moxi and pointing it at more than one IP of the cluster. The benefits of running a client-side Moxi are that a) you don't have to update the client configuration each time you add/remove/failover a node and b) you eliminate the second network hop of going through a server-side Moxi.
Make sense? Let me know how else I can help.
Perfect, thanks for the explanation Perry, this helps quite a bit in understanding the optimal configuration for a client.

People around the world are changing their attitudes, behavior and consumption patterns to support products and services that shift toward a sustainable global economy that promises better health and dignity for all. Brands that embrace this shift are seeing positive results across multiple levels of their businesses. With CSR at the heart of everything they do, a willingness to experiment with new models, and a commitment to redesigning every aspect of their business, its no wonder that, as Triple Pundit points out, Corporate Citizenship enhances performance, recruitment, and sales growth.
From sharing food and gratitude with FEED at SXSW to surveying the powerful ripples of the "CVS Effect," Interbrand's March newsletter supplies the information and inspiration you need to help you accelerate change. Highlighting the link between CSR and financial performance, the encouraging impact of CVS's decision to end tobacco sales, and TOM's decision to expand its "one for one" model into the coffee business, our Corporate Citizenship outlook focuses on the stories that are moving the needle and companies that are making a difference.

DianeLM Posted: 02/17/10
This cake was easy to prepare and was very moist, I should have been much more observant to read to not make the frosting ahead of time because it was not pourable and was much more like a spreadable frosting, nonetheless, the cake turn out well and I would definitely make it again.
CaptNashville Posted: 01/08/11
This is the most fun cake to make. I love how light and fluffy, yet moist and rich it turns out! I made this for a dear friend's birthday. I can't wait to see what she thinks of it! :)
cynny5 Posted: 06/05/11
Very easy. Tender..Frosting excellent. I made frosting when cake was done cooking and poured it over cake when cake was cooled 10 min as instructed(VERY IMPORTANT) and it came out perfect!! Love that no need to remove cake from pan or frost it.A KEEPER!!
steponme Posted: 06/08/11
Delicious; I did reduce the sugar in the cake to 1 1/2 cups, because of the addition of the marshmellows and I think the next time that I make it, I will only add 1 cup of the marshmellows b/c the frosting is very sweet.
NWfoodie Posted: 04/25/11
I made this cake over the weekend and it was fantastic. Very simple to make and probably THE most moist cake I have ever had. This is a keeper.
PeaceLoveMandi Posted: 11/30/11
any way to substitute the buttermilk? im allergic :(
2013Grad Posted: 09/05/12
I made this cake tonight with my sister and it is amazing! I didn't use marshmallows because I read some reviews that said it was too sweet with the marshmallows, so I skipped out on those. I didn't have Coke so I substituted Pepsi for it and it's so good. I can't wait to try out different pops on it like Cherry or Vanilla Cokes. There is no downside to this cake. Will definetly make again!
nadiam Posted: 09/08/12
This is a delicious and moist cake. Since I use unsalted butter for baking, I would add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the cake recipe and an eighth of a teaspoon to the icing. I served it with whipped cream sweetened with brown sugar and a dash of fleur de sel for a sweet and salty topping.
msrozj Posted: 09/02/12
I made this cake for a cookout and it was a big hit! Super moist and very tasty!
meldem Posted: 02/23/14
Followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. Even better served with vanilla ice cream!
smonday325 Posted: 07/14/14
I made this cake for the first time last week to rave reviews and just took another one out of the oven to share with friends tonight! It is truly one of the best cakes I've ever made and I've been cooking and baking for over forty years. I followed the recipe exactly and the only adjustment I had to make is the baking time. Both cakes needed to bake for 40 minutes and they were perfect! Very moist with a tender crumb. Yummy!
lovespring Posted: 08/16/14
I made this tonight for dessert and holy smokes! We did not use nuts because we don't like them. Be forewarned that this is an UGLY cake. The marshmallows leave a weird look on the top and I suspect that is why they used chopped nuts for the picture. But do not be turned off by the look. I think this is the BEST cake I have ever made. Great recipe! On the matter of baking time: this cake definitely needed at least 40 minutes--it'd probably be fine with 42-45 minutes. Another review stated the same thing so be on watch from 35 to 45 min.
Roxani Posted: 06/28/14
I make this cake on every given occasion! Perfect recipe!
Meglenn108 Posted: 03/30/14
This cake is so stinkin' yummy! One of my cake faves!
Dwr2143147 Posted: 09/30/13
Made this as a quick Sunday dessert...definitely a keeper!!! LOVED the pourable frosting.

Sorry, this ad is no longer available.
Experience would be helpful, but not essential. A vehicle is essential. Hard work in often unpleasant weather, at various forests in Lancs and Cumbria. Up to an hour from Lancaster. Payment is by piece-work. A more or less immediate start is possible, but the first payday wont be until Jan 4th, Im afraid, which is when my first invoice will be paid. ( Ill probably be able to give subs before that though.) Last year we were getting £100 a day. Self-employed, by the way. Work available right through the winter, depending on weather, of course. Then probably a few weeks spraying after that.

Taibi Scores Career-High As Bears Fall Short, 71-65, at Utah Valley State
Jan. 21, 2006
OREM, Utah - Sophomore Sean Taibi scored a career-high 28 points but it was not enough as the University of Northern Colorado men's basketball team fell to Division I Independent rival Utah Valley State by a 71-65 margin on Saturday night.
Utah Valley State (8-11) won for the 27th time in its last 30 games at the McKay Center and did so by hitting 29-of-39 from the free throw line while Northern Colorado (2-20) only went to the line 16 times, with several of those chances coming very late in the game.
Much like former Utah Valley State star and current Sacramento King Ronnie Price did in Orem against the Bears (he averaged 27.5 points in five previous meetings with the Bears) Taibi put on a show for the fans in attendance. He hit 11-of-22 from the field and 4-of-9 from 3-point range on his way to that career-best performance.
Utah Valley State used a 12-2 run in the first half to grab a nine-point lead late in the period. But Taibi kept his team close, scoring 15 of his points in the first frame, as the Bears trailed by five, 29-24, at the break. The Wolverines would go up by 11 points late in the second period before UNC mounted a comeback.
Northern Colorado cut the lead to six late in the contest, but the Wolverines got the job done by hitting a majority of their free throw attempts. Utah Valley managed only three field goals in the last 9:18 of the contest but made up for it with their effort at the charity stripe, as they scored their final 12 points from the free throw line.
"I think our guys did a good job keeping their poise tonight and I am proud of their effort," Bears head coach Craig Rasmuson said after the game. "We had some defensive lapses in the second half and (Ben) Devoe made some big shots and that, on top of the free throw margin, beat us."
Dwayne Birden was the only other Northern Colorado player in double figures, as he matched his career-high with 13 points on 6-of-10 shooting. It marked his first double-figure scoring game since Eastern Michigan (Dec. 30); Birden also grabbed seven rebounds. Senior Erik Olson matched his season-high with eight rebounds.
The reigning Division I Independent Player of the Week, Kirk Archibeque, scored only two points in 15 minutes of action, as he was battling a case of strep throat.
UVSC was led by Devoe's 14 points, as three Wolverines scored in double figures.
Utah Valley State improved to 6-0 all-time against the Bears; the teams will play one more time this season, on Feb. 25 in Greeley.
Northern Colorado is off until next Saturday when they host another Division I Independent, this time Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (3:30 p.m. MT). The game is part of a doubleheader with the Northern Colorado women's team (vs. UC-Colorado Springs) which begins at 1 p.m.

Sperm Stem Cells Grown in Lab
November 4, 2004 -- Researchers have succeeded in growing sperm stem cells in laboratory cultures. These cells were then transferred to infertile mice who produced sperm and fathered baby mice. Each baby mouse was genetically related to the sperm stem cell donor, not to the mouse producing the sperm.
Actually, this research team has been working on similar technology for over ten years. What is new is that specific genes can be inserted into the sperm stem cells which can then be grown in culture to provide an endless supply of these cells.
The researchers point out that their technology developed in mice could also be used to treat infertility in humans. Sperm stem cells could be removed from a donor, cultured to increase their numbers, frozen, and then reimplanted back into the donor (or another male) at a future date.
The researchers also propose that these sperm stem cells have the "potential" of serving as a source for more versatile adult stem cells to replace diseased or injured tissue. Because of the current controversy swirling around the development of stem cell lines, this application requires a much bigger leap of faith.
Barbara K. Hecht,
Researchers Grow Sperm Stem Cells in Laboratory Cultures
A team of researchers working with cells from mice has overcome a technical barrier and succeeded in growing sperm progenitor cells in laboratory culture. The researchers transplanted the cells into infertile mice, which were then able to produce sperm and father offspring that were genetically related to the donor mice.
"This advance opens up an exciting range of possibilities for future research, from developing new treatments for male infertility to enhancing the survival of endangered species," said Duane Alexander, M.D., Director of the NICHD.
Their research, funded in part by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health, will be published online this week in an upcoming issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Led by Hiroshi Kubota, D.V.M., Ph.D., the team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in Philadelphia, also included Mary Avarbock and Ralph L. Brinster V.M.D., Ph.D. The researchers succeeded in developing the culture medium containing the precise combination of cellular growth factors needed for the cells to reproduce themselves outside the body. Known as spermatogonial stem cells, the cells are incapable of fertilizing egg cells but give rise to cells that develop into sperm.
In 1994, this same research team developed the means to transplant spermatogonial stem cells from one mouse into another. The recipient mice then produced sperm - fully capable of fertilizing egg cells - with the genetic characteristics of the donor mice.
Because they can now grow spermatogonial stem cells in culture, researchers have a ready source of cells that they could manipulate genetically, explained the study's senior author, Ralph Brinster.
For example, researchers could implant a new gene into a spermatogonial cell, reproduce a large number of spermatogonial cells in the culture medium, and then implant the cells into recipient animals. These animals could then pass the new trait on to their offspring. The ability to introduce a new trait into animals would greatly assist breeders of both livestock and laboratory animals.
Moreover, by culturing and freezing spermatogonial stem cells from a valuable livestock animal or an endangered species, researchers could extend the reproductive life of that animal indefinitely.

Found May 01, 2012 on Busted Coverage:
PLAYERS: Brett Lawrie, Evan Longoria
TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays
TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays
We tried to warn you guys months ago to start paying attention to Toronto Blue Jays' 3B Brett Lawrie's new girlfriend Paige Brendel. One thing leads to another and her Twitpics start including the likes of a bed photo with the Canadian heartthrob. Our interest in this Lawrie-Brendel relationship is like opening a book on how a WAG rises from nothing to something on the Internet. Let's be honest, Brendel is 4-5 bikini photos this summer from being an Internet star. Perfect scenario would be Brendel rolling into Miami for the Blue Jays visit to South Beach June 22-24. That gives her ample time to hit the beach, upload said bikini photos and she's a huge star by Monday, June 25 – at least in Canada. For those of you not in the know, Lawrie is the next coming of Evan Longoria for the Blue Jays. He's just 22, 6-0, 215 lbs., tatted up, has perfect hair and women are totally nuts over this guy. For example, this week in Toronto, Lawrie was the special guest at a Victoria's Secret in-store shoot with model Elsa Hosk (see below). He played in 43 games last year, batting .293. Through 23 games this year, Lawrie is off to a .278 start with two dongs and 13 RBI. He's headed for multiple all-star games. Guaranteed. jQuery(function($){$("a img.gallery-wall-fade").hover(function(){$(this).stop().animate({opacity:.5},{queue:false,duration:400});},function(){$(this).stop().animate({opacity:1},{queue:false,duration:400});});}); This means Brendel needs to be on top of her game. That's why the bikini pics are going to make or break 2012 in her rookie WAG season. Sure, she can mingle with the other Blue Jays WAGs all she wants and make friends. However, there is a way to keep your MLB meal ticket and that's to be a star yourself. The bed shot is a start. This is the kind of material we can turn into posts. It's just May. Plenty of time for this chick to ramp up her campaign and keep Lawrie happy. All eyes are now on that Miami trip. [@PaigeBrendel]

- Rare disease designations
Orphan designation
On 2 February 2010, orphan designation (EU/3/09/720) was granted by the European Commission to Oxford BioMedica (UK) Ltd, United Kingdom, for lentiviral vector containing the human ABCA4 gene for the treatment of Stargardt's disease.
- What is Stargardt's disease?
Stargardt's disease is a genetic disorder of the eye that leads to the gradual loss of sight. It is caused by abnormalities in a gene called ABCA4. The ABCA4 gene is responsible for the production of a protein called ABCR, which controls the movement of substances into and out of cells in the retina (the light-sensitive surface at the back of the eye). In patients with Stargardt's disease, ABCR does not work properly. This causes deposits to build up inside the retina cells, which become damaged and eventually die.
Stargardt's disease is a long-term debilitating disease because it leads to the patient's sight getting worse and eventually to blindness.
- What is the estimated number of patients affected by the condition?
At the time of designation, Stargardt's disease affected approximately 1 in 10,000 people in the European Union (EU)*. This is equivalent to a total of around 50,000 people, and is below the threshold for orphan designation, which is 5 people in 10,000. This is based on the information provided by the sponsor and knowledge of the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP).
*Disclaimer: For the purpose of the designation, the number of patients affected by the condition is estimated and assessed on the basis of data from the European Union (EU 27), Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. This represents a population of 504,800,000 (Eurostat 2009).
- What treatments are available?
At the time of submission of the application for orphan designation, no satisfactory methods were authorised in the EU for the treatment of Stargardt's disease. Patients with the disease were usually given physical aids such as sunglasses to reduce the rate of damage to the retina, or spectacles, magnifiers or telescopes to help them see during the early stages of the disease. Laser treatment can help to stabilise the loss of vision in some patients. Patients also often have genetic counselling (discussion of the risks of passing the condition on to children).
- How is this medicine expected to work?
Lentiviral vector containing the human ABCA4 gene is an advanced therapy medicine that belongs to the group called 'gene therapy products'. These are medicines that work by delivering genes into the body. The medicine is made up of a virus that contains the human ABCA4 gene. The virus is used to carry the ABCA4 gene into the cells of the retina. These cells can then start to produce normal ABCR protein to replace the defective protein. When it is injected into the eye, the medicine is expected to relieve the symptoms of the disease and prevent the loss of sight. The type of virus used in this medicine (lentivirus) is modified so that it does not cause disease in humans.
- What is the stage of development of this medicine?
At the time of submission of the application for orphan designation, the evaluation of the effects of lentiviral vector containing the human ABCA4 gene in experimental models was ongoing.
At the time of submission, no clinical trials with the designated product in patients with Stargardt's disease had been started.
At the time of submission, lentiviral vector containing the human ABCA4 gene was not authorised anywhere in the EU for Stargardt's disease or designated as an orphan medicinal product elsewhere for this condition.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 141/2000 of 16 December 1999, the COMP adopted a positive opinion on 3 December 2009 recommending the granting of this designation.
- Opinions on orphan medicinal product designations are based on the following three criteria:
- the seriousness of the condition;
- the existence of alternative methods of diagnosis, prevention or treatment;
- either the rarity of the condition (affecting not more than 5 in 10,000 people in the European Union) or insufficient returns on investment.
Designated orphan medicinal products are products that are still under investigation and are considered for orphan designation on the basis of potential activity. An orphan designation is not a marketing authorisation. As a consequence, demonstration of quality, safety and efficacy is necessary before a product can be granted a marketing authorisation.

North Atlantic Trials Demonstrate Fuel, Emissions Reductions
Flight trials to demonstrate new procedures intended to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of international flights crossing the North Atlantic have begun.
The so-called Engage Corridor Project–part of the Atlantic Interoperability Initiative to Reduce Emissions international program–involves Air Canada, Air France, British Airways, Delta and United in conjunction with air navigation service providers Nav Canada and UK NATS. Some 350,000 flights traverse the North Atlantic every year, making it the world's busiest airspace.
The first test flight on August 9 involved an Air Canada A330 flying from Frankfurt to Toronto. Resulting fuel and emissions reductions proved better than expected, according to Nav Canada.
"The results of the first trial are very encouraging and have exceeded our initial estimates," said Rudy Kellar, Air Canada vice president of operations. "Analysis of the flight shows a savings of over 800 liters [211 gallons] of fuel and a reduction in GHG emissions by more than 2,100 kilograms [4,630 pounds]. At today's fuel prices, this translates to a cost savings of nearly $700 for this one flight."
The Engage flight trials measure fuel and emissions savings gained through the use of progressive or continuous altitude change (versus step changes) and a corresponding change in aircraft speed within an approved airspace block. Aircraft equipped for automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) send automatic position reports fed to air traffic controller displays in Gander, Newfoundland, through Nav Canada's upgraded Gander Automated Air Traffic System Plus (Gaats+). The Gaats+ system integrates conflict detection and other automation tools, giving controllers information on current and planned traffic and available conflict-free route profiles. The visibility allows controllers to reduce aircraft separations, thereby increasing airspace capacity and allowing variable altitudes and speeds.
"Gaats+ will allow better flow planning and a clearer picture of traffic at any moment, despite the absence of radar in this airspace," said John Crichton, Nav Canada president and CEO. "This, in turn, will allow us to implement procedures that increase capacity while maintaining safety in collaboration with our oceanic partner, NATS, in Prestwick, Scotland."
Engage flight trials will continue through the fall. Its partners will present a report detailing the results at an October meeting in Montreal.

State v. Xiong
Justia.com Opinion Summary: After a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder, second-degree intentional murder, and second-degree unintentional murder while committing a felony. Defendant appealed, seeking a new trial based on the district court's allegedly erroneous admission of expert testimony offered by a medical examiner and a firearms examiner. Defendant argued that the testimony was improperly admitted because it intruded on the fact-finding role of the jury. Defendant did not object to the testimony at trial. The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's convictions, holding that the district court properly admitted the expert testimony of the medical examiner and the firearms examiner.Download as PDF

Could we finally have a happy middle ground for the parents who believe in sex education for teenagers and the parents who don't to meet on? A Massachusetts high school thinks they've got the key. They want to hand out condoms to kids as young as 12. But wait! There's more!
Parents of students in Springfield will get a letter allowing them to opt out of the program. And just in case the letters don't make it home, the school will be calling Moms and Dads too.
I think we have a winner here, folks!
I'm all about letting parents go their own way and make choices for their kids. But the easy go with the flow train goes off the rails choices start to infringe on my right to make choices for my kid.
Unfortunately, in many school districts in America, that's exactly what has happened. The studies show access to birth control doesn't increase sexual activities, it just makes it safer, but too many parents refuse to believe it. Parents who have read the studies and know that quality sex education reduces the teen pregnancy rate are stymied by parents who refuse to allow their kids to be educated about birth control. So we're all stuck with the abstinence-only education that scientists have shown time and again isn't working.
If you want to teach your kid about abstinence and only abstinence, that's your choice. But barring the rest of our kids from getting sex ed just isn't fair!
That's why I'm digging this program offering condoms to kids in Massachusetts. The way the school has designed it could be exactly what we need to bridge the gap.
Some of us opt in. Some opt out. And voila: the parents who fear that their kids won't come to them for birth control, but still want their kids to be safe if they DO decide to have sex are covered. And the others at least got to make their own choice for their kids.
Works for me! How about you?
Would you sign your child up for the free condom program?
Image via Paul Keller/Flickr
I think this might work well in a high school, but for TWELVE year olds? That seems a little ridiculous. I also don't think they should be giving them to students. They could make them available in the nurse's office or something for anyone that wants to take them. I don't have kids yet and I'm not sure how I feel about abstinence only education but if I had a twelve year old that came home from school with condoms, I would be pissed.
There are many JR highschoolers that are sexually active, evert seen a pregnant 12 year old? School officials and parents must work together to make a program like this really work. Sadly, many parents, who were very sexually awake in their early teens are now total prudes. Of course abstinence is ideal, but what if.........???
When my sister went to high school (graduated in 2008), there were girls coming in as freshman either pregnant or already moms. Sex ed needs to start much earlier than in high school, which is what I have seen many schools going to or not doing anything at all.
A co-worker of mine had a sister-in-law that worked at the teen pregnancy center in Saginaw, MI. There was a 12 year old girl that was pregnant by a 10 YEAR OLD!!
I wonder what's going to happen when one of these condoms fail and the parents of the young lady sue the school?
I don't like the idea of the school providing any kind of birth control, condoms included. Giving out information, fine. Telling kids where they can get them, fine. Teaching girls about their cycle and how to use it to figure ovulation (God forbid we teach them this instead of just "you bleed for a week every month") For the love of all that's holy, we need a signed, notarized letter from the POTUS in order for our kids to be allowed to have a cough drop! Why is it suddenly ok to give them condoms.
And if parents want their kids to have condoms, shouldn't they be taking those boys (and girls) down to the Wal Marts and purchasing them? Why is it the school's responsibility? They can't afford toilet paper, for heaven's sake!
I had my first sex ed class when I was 12.
I create a special savings account
I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program

Let's Just Beat Him Up!12 Reviews
Neil is annoying the others and Jay loses his goody-goody image
It's 3 am and I am sitting here, suffering from slight insomnia. As I head over to the washroom, someone called. I quickly grabbed the phone and answered in hope that nobody has waken from the ringing.
Me: Hello?
Caller X: Hello?
Me: Um...hello?
Caller X: Hello? Hello?
Me: Um...may I know whom I am speaking to?
Caller X: Whom am I speaking to?
Inner me: WTF!!
Me: looks weirdly at the phone and hangs up then check caller ID (Caller ID Unknown), shakes my head and press the end button
(Phone rings and I once again quickly answered which to much of my dismay, is the same caller)
Me: Hello?
Caller X: Hello? Hello?
Inner me: WTF!! It's the same guy again. Some luck...
Me: doesn't bother to talk to him, hangs up and put back the phone (it was a cordless one) and goes to the washroom thinking what kind of moron would call at 3am in the morning and say 'hello?' every time I talk to him
Yup, it happened to him a while ago. Now I am still pondering who the hell it was...

'Oh yah! It's Christmas, woohoo!'
Neil's annoying singing voice was starting to well...annoy his roomies. Archie and Atlanta were groaning, Jay and Theresa rolled their eyes at each other, Odie was too concentrated in his video game to care and Herry was banging his head on the wall.
'Someone shut him up already!' he cried. Archie stood up and cracked his knuckles. He headed towards the bathroom but Jay stopped him.
'Jay! Why did you stop me from beating that annoying brat! I know you know you want to do it too!' cried Archie.
'I know! I know! As much as I want to, we still have to consider the consequences. What if Neil gets badly hurt and Cronus attack, huh? Have you ever thought of that?' said Jay. Archie grumbled but went back to his seat anyways.

Atlanta rolled her eyes. She listened to more of Neil's rubbish and couldn't take it anymore. She cried in rage and stomped towards to the bathroom but was once again, like Archie, stopped by Jay.
'Atlanta!' said Jay in a warning voice. 'Remember what I said!'
Atlanta looked at the bathroom door then at Jay then at the bathroom door again. She sighed and stomped into her room furiously. They heard a door slam and a muffled cry.

'I am good boy! Oh yah! I am good boy and Santaaa knows it too!'
Odie looked up from his video game. He looked quite annoyed that he was interrupted from his game. He glanced over at Herry, whose forehead was red but not as red as his furious face. Odie sighed and shook his head. He headed over to a drawer near the window and took out a pair of ear plugs. He plugged his ears and went back to his game.
Herry couldn't take it anymore. He told Jay that he was going to visit Granny. He went to the kitchen and got his keys as he walked back towards the front door, he passed the bathroom. He gave the door a hard kick and they heard a scream and the thud of something being dropped. Jay sighed.

'Santa's coming to town! Santa's coming to town! Santa's is goiiing to bring me lots of presents!'
Theresa looked up from her magazine very annoyed. She looked at Jay with puppy dogs eyes. Jay looked at them and melted.
'Come on Jay! Fight it! You can do it, man! That's it, nice and easy,' he thought.
'Jaayy!' whined Theresa.
'Sorry Theresa but rules are rules.' Theresa pouted and stomped off to her room too.
'Guess that's the first time her puppy dog pout failed her,' thought Jay as he chuckled.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
'Rudolph the red nose reindeer, had a shiny nose, but he can't never beat me, for I am the greatest dude!'
Jay sighed. He looked around him. Herry had come back from Granny's house. Archie, Atlanta, Theresa and Odie had come out from their room. They were all seated around the couch to catch a movie. Once in a while he would glance at the bathroom door, clenching his fist.
(a little Model):
O T Kitchen
Ar At J
'I'm going to get us some popcorn,' he told the others. He got up and went to the kitchen. But as he passed through the bathroom, he heard Neil singing a new verse.
'Oh I am the greatest! Oh yah! I am the greatest! Uh huh! Herry is big and strong but he's as dumb as a cow! Uh huh! Atlanta is so fast but so oblivious to her feelings! Uh huh, oh yah! Archie's the best warrior but he also has the tackiest hairdooo! Odie's the techno geek but what a wimp he is!! Oh yah, oh yah! Theresa's the Barbie but duuude, some taste in men she got!! Uh huh! And leeet's not forget the leader! He's all duuude and then duuuuuuuude! He's great but when it comes to fashion sense, duuude, he needs to learn from mee!! Oh yah, oh yah!'
Jay didn't hear the last part. He cried in rage and barged through the door, causing Neil to scream and drop something again. The others looked at the bathroom, completely forgetting the movie. They heard punching, kicking, more punching, more kicking and then even more kicking. Jay came out through the door, straightened his shirt and looked at the others. He snapped his fingers and pointed to the kitchen.
'The popcorn. Right, I'll get it now.' He went to the kitchen, whistling as nothing happened. When he came back, Archie complained.
'Whatever happened to the 'consequences' if Cronus happens to appear before us, huh?'

Buttery, flakey, just a hint of sweetness; oh, so good. Easy, too. If you haven't made pie crust before, this recipe would be a great one to start with, because it explains precisely what to do.
Best Basic Pie Crust Dough
litgourmet Posted: 08/09/09
LisaPepin Posted: 08/27/09
Excellent! I used to make a family recipe just using lard but the combination of butter & shortening made my pie turn out terrific! This is definitely now my "pie dough" recipe. I'm making it again this evening for a summer peach pie.
MommyG Posted: 10/23/09
Best pie crust recipe ever! The only one I use now.
sjacobs01 Posted: 10/27/10
OUTSTANDING is right. It makes 2 pies crusts, and I've used it twice so far. My husband now refuses to ever let me buy store bought again. And that's fine with me...I made this with my first made from scratch homemade pumpkin pie. Because the recipe called for the pie plate to cook on a cookie sheet I cooked it about 15 minutes longer...also because I was a little concerned that the ceramic pie plate hadn't cooked the pumpkin filling quite enough yet. Regardless of which recipe you follow- this is the BEST and easiest recipe EVER (in my humble opinion). LOVE IT. It's a lifer for me. Oh, I used the crisco at room temp and it never seems to be a problem :)
Piemaster Posted: 08/27/11
I have altered recipe as follows: 11 tablespoons shortening, 4 tablespoons butter
KatrinaH Posted: 10/06/12
Awesome and easy pie crust recipe! I use this for all my pie baking. The trick to a great crust is very little mixing of the shortening and butter. Both should be very cold when you work with the dough. The finished product should have visible sections of shortening and butter. Once baked, it will all melt and make a flaky, delicious crust.
Andreams88 Posted: 10/25/12
Good recipe.
khrist1n Posted: 06/09/13
This was the first pie crust I made. Now I no longer fear making pastry. It is super easy to follow and as long as you don't over work the dough it turns out fantastic.

Yesterday, we added a new reason to our "why we don't use tanning beds" list: One man's bed caught on fire while he was inside. He heard something popping, then saw a flame near his foot. He escaped without being harmed, but the fire spread to stores adjacent to the Ultratan in the Lake Wylie, SC mall, and took over an hour for fire fighters to put out. A whole new meaning to the word "sunburn."

Art of Gabriel Mark Lipper
Gabriel Lipper controls his own universe where he is always invited to the party, but where the characters look at the painter slightly perturbed by his intrusion into their scene of intimate self absorption. Members of high society, situate in groups, but rarely engaged with each other. In the April issue of Nashville Arts, writer Emme Nelson Baxter takes a look at the 39 year old Oregon based painter and his recent work titled Thoroughbred.
Words from the painter:
"I love to paint. I've been blessed by timing. To be alive right now for this chapter in arts history is a phenomenal gift. Classicism, once pronounced "dead" is reemerging with a new contemporary vitality. The gifts of modernism: color, form, and abstraction, are now being seamlessly integrated with the craftsmanship and techniques of the past. How wonderful to have so much wealth at my fingertips!"

"The age of the iPod is over" Umm…yeah…welcome to five years ago…
Seems like The Verge has just discovered what most of us already knew. "(Apple) moved just 6 million of the trademark MP3 players, a 52 percent decline compared to the same period last year. All told, iPod accounted for just $973 million of the company's record $57.6 billion revenue last quarter." Still a respectable chunk of change but the writing has been on the wall for the iPod for a LONG time. The best part is the last sentence: "It might be premature to write the iPod's obituary..." And yet....you just did.... http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/27/5351918/apples-ipod-rides-into-the-sunset

Need prayers please
My husband and I are on a very limited income. It has been cut drastically since December 2013. We have applied for food stamps and have an in-person interview this coming week. If we do not get the foods stamps, we will have zero dollars to buy food. We have never had to ask for assistance to get food, but we have no choice right now. We have disconnected our phone, turned our heat down so low that we use blankets often to stay warm. We are not use to being in this type of situation. Both my husband and I are disabled, so unable to go out and find a job. Our car has over 295,000 on it. My husband has become depressed since all of this started. I am worried about him. It would be so appreciated if you would say a prayer for us. Thank you for reading this.

I know that this fandom is really bad for reducing their brilliantly dynamic characters to flat static stereotypes. Trust me, I do.
Kanaya the sassy girl who takes jabs at Eridan, is learning the ways of sarcasm and enjoys reading vampire romance novels is reduced to a fashion expert that lives breathes and sweats Rose Lalonde, Rose Lalonde, Wow Rose Is Sure Amazing Like Wow A Goddess In The Flesh.
John is a prankster and magician in training who loves B-Movies and has a shrine to Matthew Mcconaughey in his room, with a snarky optimistic attitude, and he is reduced to a "Derpy" Nicholas Cage worshipper.
And so on, and so forth.
I want you to take a moment to think about Calliope from the beginning.
She was very optimistic, very excitable, she likes to follow rules, she likes to play games, she makes the best out of every negative situation that's thrown at her. She's passionate about her stories, she's keen on romance and the happiness of the people she cares about. She dreams of being something else and she goes out and lives that dream.
She said once in passing that she doesn't think she's attractive or capable of being loved, and that's all you guys are paying attention to.
You have reduced her entire character to an insecurity.
One that she's managing just fine. Her brother openly mocks her insecurities in his artwork, outright telling her that her friends will be happy when she's dead, and what does she do? She says "He sure likes to get my goat!"
She doesn't sit around feeling sorry for herself or cry because she'll never be pretty. She makes herself pretty and moves on.
This girl DREAMS, she doesn't WALLOW.
She's supposed to represent our fandom here. She's an artist with aspirations who's so passionate about a story that she loves so much, she wants to live it. Just like us.
Don't reduce yourself to an insecurity. You are so much more than that.

7 in 10 Workers Await Benefits Info as Deadline Nears
By law, employers must notify employees of health insurance benefits policy changes and coverage options by October 1. But a survey shows that 69% of workers have not yet received communications about any benefit policy changes.
Sparse information about what to expect from employer-sponsored health plans this fall is stirring anxiety among employees already challenged to comprehend the fundamentals of health insurance.
As mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, employers must notify employees of benefits policy changes and coverage options for the open enrollment season by October 1. But an open enrollment survey of 2,001 U.S. consumers shows that 69% of workers had not yet received communications about any upcoming benefit policy changes.
See Also: 'Dismal' Understanding of Health Plans Among Consumers
The survey, conducted by Research Now, and released Tuesday by the Columbus, OH-based insurer Aflac, shows that 28% of employees are "confused, worried, or simply unsure" about upcoming changes their employer is making to their healthcare benefits or coverage options this enrollment season due to the healthcare law.
Only 9% of companies at this time are reportedly "very prepared" to implement requirements of the PPACA. Employers' lack of preparation may be the hold-up behind the delay in communications around benefits changes, concludes the report.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
John C Parker, RHU, LTCP (8/31/2013 at 5:40 PM)
The DOL's initial model letter for employers to use to inform all employees about the availability in their state, on Oct 1st, of the Health Insurance Marketplace. The initial model was a proposal and the DOL quickly heard about various issues. e.g. many employers could not project the value of the plan they will use in 2014. Guidance has been released informally in the last week or so thus employers, who know about the requirement will be getting them to employees. The words in the letter do not have to be the same as the model and it will be possible for a small employer to use a one page letter.

Narrow your search
Though it's still a tiny interchangeable-lens compact, it has a more refined design and color palette than its predecessor, the Q7.
The 13-inch Ativ Q is three devices in one: a Windows laptop, a Windows tablet, and an Android slate. We came to grips with it.
Pricing not available
If you're not opting for a smartphone and you can look past its dated design, the Samsung Gravity Q is your best choice for a T-Mobile keyboard phone.
"Q" stands for "QWERTY" in this Android 2.3 smartphone with Cricket's unlimited Muve Music download plans.
The Nexus Q's striking, orblike hardware can't outweigh the extreme limitations of this Android-only, Google-only media streamer.
With real wireless stereo, the Qmadix Iharmonix Q-i-sound lets you cut the cord, but for a high price and with a less-than-desirable design.
If you can live with its dated software and heft, the T-Mobile MyTouch Q is an alluring keyboard slider deal.
Siemens adds iOS connectivity to a high-end oven, steam oven and dishwasher, with Android and more appliances to follow next year.
Pricing not available
Chamberlain's MyQ Garage should be the first on your list if you want to add some smarts to your garage door. Just prepare your wallet for the urge to link it to other devices.
The Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE is hefty, but packs modern Android power, an excellent keyboard, and LTE 4G if you're lucky.

MLB >> New York Mets
Sign up for Yardbarker's daily Top 10 newsletter, the Morning Bark! Customize to get news on your favorite sports and teams.
Found March 01, 2013 on The Daily Stache:
PLAYERS: Zack Wheeler, Rafael Montero, Jeurys Familia
TEAMS: New York Mets
TEAMS: New York Mets
Zack Wheeler isn't the only hot Mets pitching prospect worth watching in Spring Training this season. Rafael Montero has seemingly come out of nowhere and is making a name for himself in Mets camp. On Thursday night against the Nationals, Montero allowed one run in two innings in a modest spring debut. Those who watched him came away impressed with the 22-year-old's arsenal. "He has a game plan out there and he's got phenomenal stuff," catcher Travis d'Arnaud said. "He's got three great pitches." Montero can get up to 95 miles per hour with his fastball and can also throw his slider and change-up for strikes. This allows him to "pitch backwards" which means throwing his off-speed pitches for strikes earlier in the count and finishing batters with his fastball. Conventionally, pitchers use the fastball to get strikes over the plate before using a slider or change-up to get outs. The ability to pitch backwards should serve Montero well as he works his way through the minors. Last season, Montero dominated the Savannah (low-A) and St. Lucie (high-A) levels with 110 strikeouts and just 19 walks with a 2.36 ERA. This year, he should get to start at double-A Binghamton, where we will really get to see what Montero is made of. If he impresses at Binghamton, Montero could see himself vaulted ahead of Jeurys Familia on prospect lists due to Familia's stuggles at the highest level of the minors. Personally, I love Montero's ability to control his pitches. Just from watching him on Thursday, I could get an idea of how he tore through A-ball last summer with such an incredible strikeout-to-walk ratio. That said, a lot of prospects hit a wall when they get to double-A. That makes this 2013 season such a critical one for Montero's development. Hopefully, he'll keep impressing us throughout the summer. The post Mets man-crush: Rafael Montero appeared first on The Daily Stache.

I never really understood these. I use grid and mouseover macros. I would love to be able to actually mouse or keybind but I have alt-itis and the transition between which character I am playing would be very difficult. Its bad enough I am trying to Lifetap my priest and Horn of Winter my hunter. It shows me everything and it just took a few minutes to set the macros. Maybe a cross comparision would tell me what I was missing.
