A remarkable transformation and renovation has taken place here, where you literally step back in history into an 1860's Grand Inn with every comfort of the 21st century at hand. Our location, in the historic Faubourg Marigny section of New Orleans enables our guests to enjoy the close proximity of the French Quarter (only 5 blocks) and the Frenchmen Street shops and restaurants

The location, hospitality, room, and breakfast were perfect. Bob and Michelle were so accommodating and provided us with a map and a list of recommended restaurants, sites, bars, and music venues. The Inn was just a few blocks from Frenchman Street and a very close walk to the French Quarter. The Inn is gorgeous and the room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. This was our first trip to New Orleans and we definitely plan on staying at Elysian Fields Inn.

We had such an incredible stay at Elysian Fields Inn! From the moment we walked in we were welcomed by the Michelle and her husband and home made breakfast. The food was delicious and the room was gorgeous. It really felt like a home away from home. In a great neighborhood and so close to the French Quarter. It was our first time visiting New Orleans and will definitely book our next stay here and highly recommend to family and friends.

Perhaps the most outstanding aspect of Elysian Fields, in addition to your categories, was the friendliness and helpfulness of our hosts. Thank You!

Bob and Michelle were absolutely wonderful. Breakfast every morning was different and delicious. Wifi worked great. Just a flew blocks from Frenchmen St, but far enough away that it's quiet (I was in 204 and never heard a peep from the street). I was unfortunately quite sick when I arrived and Bob/Michelle recommended an urgent care that saw me almost immediately, ensured I could enjoy the rest of my vacation. They also gave us info about how to get discounted Lyft rides since we didn't have a car. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in NOLA! They're lucky I didn't steal their adorable dog Beck either ;) You won't regret staying here!

I went with my father, sister and daughter. We had a two room suite that was spacious and clean. The owners are super nice and accommodating (pun intended!) So close to Frenchman street where the best music is. Breakfasts were incredible. Go!

text: I'm designing a database for a franchiser. My skill level is intermediate at best (I just work in the franchiser's office). This database must define store locations and franchisees. So I know I will need a "store" table and a "franchisee" table. The "store number" will be the primary key in the store table. One franchisee can own multiple stores. I figured I could just assign a "Franchisee ID" as a primary key in the franchisee table to like franchisees to stores. Here's my issue: Each store can be owned by up to 4 franchisees. So I'm stuck on how to define all that. I'm not sure I can do multiple franchisee ID's and even if I could, often, stores are only owned by 1 or 2 people. That means many blank fields. Also, I'm unsure of how it will all come together when I need to pull queries. Any suggestions on the most logical way to do this?

Read an Excerpt
The Magical Countdown
When a couple stands at the altar and vows to love each other "till death do us part," they take for granted that they will stay intimately connected forever. The kiss at the end of the ceremony is symbolic of that connection, and throughout the relationship the kiss remains at the core. The kiss is the most intimate connection possible between two peopleeven more intimate than sexual intercourse, as I'll explain later in this chapter.
Sadly, as the years pass, staying connected with our mate gradually takes a back seat to all the mundane duties and chores that exist in a marriage. In reality, everything else should take a back seat to our love for each other.
Jennifer and Ron could not remember when their relationship changed. All they knew was with two young children, two careers, and too little time, their marriage was in jeopardy. They had become working partners instead of loving partners. It was their thirteenth anniversary and Jennifer's mother had offered to baby-sit so they could have a special weekend, but instead of a romantic resort they chose to come to my lecture, hoping for a miracle.
I had asked for a volunteer couple from the audience to tell me what they believed was the biggest problem in their relationship. Jennifer and Ron came up on the stage at my urging and began to explain. "We have no time for each other. We're both so busy that at the end of the day, we just give each other a quick peck on the cheek, mumble good night, and we're off to sleep," said Jennifer. "Sometimesoften, actuallywe don't even bother with the kiss."
Egging them on a little, I asked Ron how it was that they couldn't find the time to invest in the most important aspect of their lives.
"Well," he responded, "we both have demanding jobs, which sometimes require travel away from home. Jennifer travels more than I do, at least once a month, but when I'm gone it's for a longer period of time. Usually a week or two. And, of course, there're the kids. They have to be driven to school each morning and picked up from day-care each evening. Then there's grocery shopping, meal preparation and cleanupJennifer does that while I help the kids with their homework. You wouldn't believe how much homework kids are given these days. After dinner and homework are over, we try to spend some quality time with the kids before we put them to bed. When one of us is gone on a business trip, it all falls on the other's shoulders."
"On the weekends," Jennifer piped in, "we have the house to clean, the yard to tend, errands to run, home-repair chores, shopping for clothes and school supplies for the kids, and Ron's parents are elderly, so they require some of our time too. And, we do try to keep up some semblance of a social life, but it isn't easy."
I replied that I could see they were certainly very busy people. Then I asked them, "Do you think you could find just ten seconds in your busy day to devote to your relationship?"
At first they just laughed. They thought I was joking. When they realized it was a serious question, they both replied "yes" in unison.
At this point, I turned to the five thousand people seated in the auditorium and, gesturing with my hands, I asked them all to stand up. Anxious for a stretch break, they complied willingly. But when I said, "Now, I want you all to face your partner and give him or her a ten-second kiss," there was an uproar of groans and sighs. Ignoring it, I added, "I'm going to time you, so no cheating or letting up before I say "stop'!" Somebody in the crowd asked, "Do we have to?" in a loud voice.
"Come on," I said. "You can do it. This is not torture. It will be fun and it's part of the lecture. Yes, you have to do it!"
This part of my lecture usually takes more time than I'd like, but I always stand my ground and continue to coax them until every single person is ready to participate. Then the magical ten-second countdown begins as they start to kiss: One thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three, one thousand and four, on up to one thousand and ten, and then . . . "STOP!"
The crowd was wild with enthusiasm as I directed them back to their seats. I could actually feel the mood of the entire room change. It was filled with excitement, warmth, and electricity. "Now, that wasn't so awful, was it?" I asked, smiling. Loud clapping, whistling, and cheering signaled their approval. Turning to Jennifer and Ron, I asked them what the ten-second kiss had been like for them.
"I was really uncomfortable," Jennifer replied. "Not just because of being in front of so many people. We just aren't in the habit of kissing like that anymore, except when we make love. But I think I could get used to it," she added with a laugh.
Thanking them for their openness and courage for coming up on stage, I told them they could return to their seats.
The Connection
Then I went on to explain to the audience that sometimes what starts out as a passionate relationship, over time, winds up as a friendship. We are so caught up in our daily routine that we forget all about keeping closeness and passion alive. Many times we're not even aware that this change has occurred, but one day we wake up and realize with a shock that we are living as roommates instead of lovers.
Living with a good friend means there's mutual respect, common interests, companionship, and security, but no passion. It may not be the worst thing that can happen, but I'm here to tell you that you can keep your best friend and get your lover back too.
Engaging in a ten-second kiss every day declares that you are loversnot just roommates. It helps you stay connected. Even though you may tell your mate you love them every day, giving them a ten-second kiss tells them, "I'm still in love with you."
The ten-second kiss has a more immediate and dramatic effect on a relationship than any other homework I've ever assigned. Given in the morning, it sets the tone for the rest of the day. Given early in the evening, it sets the mood for the rest of the night. No matter what time of day you kiss, you'll feel warm, close, and connected. The casual kiss, the peck on the cheek are ways of saying our relationship is comfortable, platonic. In order to go from pleasant to passionate, you have to feel how delicious and meaningful a ten-second kiss really is.
I use this exercise in all of my seminars because I want to demonstrate to people that it doesn't matter whether they feel like kissing each other or not: the result of the ten-second kiss is the same. They may feel distant, annoyed, embarrassed, humiliated, or uncomfortable before the kiss. But when they do it anyway, the result of their action is a feeling of connection, warmth, safety, tenderness, and even passion. Usually, the ones who resist it the most are the ones who enjoy it so much they refuse to stop even when the time is up.
Act "As If"
Some of us believe that we must feel a certain way before we can act a certain way. As one procrastinator I know is fond of saying, "I'm waiting for the spirit to move me." Quite frankly, if I waited to do things until I felt like it, I'd never do anything!
I am proposing a different point of view: You can create love every day by acting in a loving way and not worrying about whether you are feeling loving!
How many times have you said, "I'm not in the mood to . . . ," "I don't want to . . . ," or "I don't feel like it . . . ," then not done whatever it was and as a result felt badly all day?
For example, I do not like to exercise. Given a chance, I'd much rather read. I know, however, that exercise is good for me, and now that I'm older, I really feel that it's important for me to engage in some form of exercise every day. But each morning when I wake up my first thought is always, "I'm not in the mood today," "It's too hot," or "It's too cold." Never do I wake up and think, "Oh, goody. I get to exercise now." Still, I get up, brush my teeth, comb my hair, put on my walking shoes and my warm-up suit, and begin exercising anyway. Ten minutes of stretching, ten minutes of floor exercises, and a brisk one-mile walk every day, rain or shine, tired or not. The amazing thing about this ritual is that, no matter how I felt before I exercised, I always feel great afterward. I'm proud of myself and I'm energized and ready to face the day.
Here's the point. If I waited until I was in the mood, I'd stay in bed all day, because that's what I feel like doing when I wake up every morning. Can you imagine how miserable I'd be if I acted on how I felt, instead of what I knew was good for me?
Here's another example. I don't want to clean my house. I hate housework. I've done it for so long. What's the expression? "Been there, done that!" But I've learned that if I simply begin to clean, even though I'm thinking, "I'd rather be at the beach" or "Someday I'll get live-in help!" nevertheless I'm soon done, I feel a sense of accomplishment, and I'm in a better mood.
Believe it or not, shopping is right up there with housecleaning on my list of things I don't like to do. Since I've been involved in so many creative projectswriting, speaking engagements, and television appearancesI don't even like to shop for clothes anymore. And I've never been fond of grocery shopping. But if I waited until I was in the mood, I'd probably be naked and starving to death! So regardless of how I feel, I do buy a new outfit for a television appearance or a speaking engagement and I do go to the supermarket for my weekly groceries. And although I may not want to at the time, I'm sure glad I did when I open my refrigerator and see food in there.
I'm not saying we shouldn't be in touch with our feelings, but it's often possible to change our feelings by changing our actions. I remember when I first began teaching my classes, I decided to participate in Orange County's first Women's Conference. I presented two seminars during the day, and rented exhibit space to promote my classes.
Finished with my afternoon presentation, I was packing up all of my materials when the program coordinator spotted me as she walked out of the main ballroom. She approached me, and in a desperate voice said, "Ellen, I'm so glad you're still here. We have a problem. Our keynote speaker hasn't shown up and we have a thousand people expecting to hear a presentation. Would you take her place?"
Dumbfounded, I said, "Are you crazy? You scheduled the most popular newscaster in the city as the keynote speaker. People are waiting to hear about her life and accomplishments. I'd stand up for forty-five minutes and talk about relationships!"
Beginning to panic, I looked around to find that all the other presenters had packed up their materials and were already inside the ballroom waiting for the closing speech. At that moment, I felt like running out the nearest exit and never looking back. But instead I heard myself say, "Okay. I guess I can do it."
When I stepped up to the podium, I looked into the sea of faces and felt sheer terror. I was used to speaking to a group of twenty-five students. There were over one thousand women out there. My hands trembled as I adjusted the microphone and my voice cracked as I said, "I'm not the person you came to hear today . . ."
I went on to tell them of my background and ways they could improve their relationships. As I made my points and shared anecdotes, I was energized by the enthusiasm and laughter from the audience. By the end of the forty-five minutes, I was loving it. Evidently, the audience was too, because they gave me a standing ovation.
For the first time, I realized I could speak in front of a large group. But I would never have found out if I had given in to my fear. By accepting the challenge in spite of my insecurity, I gained the confidence I needed to expand my horizons and bring my message to other large groups.
Whether it's exercising, cleaning the house, or doing the filing, I'm sure you can think of something you don't feel like doing, but once you've done it, you're glad you did.

I understand the city has a very eclectic and international mix of restaurants. I definitely want to enjoy a lot of authentic Argentinean food, but I'm interested in anything that's worth checking out. My boyfriend Aaron is mostly concerned with the steak. He wants to know where to go and what to order. He'll probably eat meat at least once a day so keep the suggestions coming. I'm more excited about the ice cream and empanadas.

Several days later, I went to New Orleans to be on a panel at the annual conference of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. I don't need to expound on the city's consistency and excellence of restaurants (duh), nor how quiet the Big Easy still feels outside the French Quarter, but I will bend your ear about dinner at Restaurant August. While many of the dishes I had in New Orleans were outstanding, including the oyster and bacon sandwich at Cochon, the shrimp and grits at Luke's, and ohhhh...those warm pillows of goodness at Cafe du Monde...by far the best meal I had was at John Besh's August. Besh has emerged as one of the city's patron culinary saints since Katrina, operating August, Luke's, La Provence, and Besh Steak. Each has its own mojo, and each is at the top of its game. At August, I devoured gnocchi with blue crab, fried oysters paired with country ham and truffled spoon bread, and a banana rum cake that I'm still dreaming about. Have you eaten anywhere really first-rate recently? Comments (6) Tagged with: Restaurants, Tanya Wenman Steel What Are Your Farming Questions? by Ethan Book on 05/15/08 at 11:59 AM With roughly only 2% of the American population directly involved in an agricultural related job, and the fact that most people are 4 or more generations removed from the farm, I find that people have lots of questions about farming and where their food comes from. With that in mind, I thought it would be fun/interesting to have you ask some questions. I will spend some time answering them in future posts. So, what have you always wondered? What doesn't make sense to you? What do you think would make you an informed consumer? I will get the ball rolling with a question that I often hear. continue reading › Comments (8) Tagged with: Ethan Book, Farming Assign Me: Choose the Next Epi-Log Investigation by Michael Y.

Considered a delicacy by many, foie gras (literally "fat liver") is made by force-feeding geese and ducks vast quantities of corn, a process that has long been condemned by animal rights advocates. Still, the ordinance, initially passed in April of 2006 and the first of its kind in the country, surprised many who thought the City Council had no right dictating matters of personal choice, especially with so many more pressing civic matters to attend to. Some went so far as to argue that it had turned the council into a national laughingstock. The best quote on the topic comes from food writer Alan Richman: "I always thought it odd that the only living creatures the city cared about was ducks." continue reading › Comments (3) Tagged with: Heather Tyree, News & Gossip On Microwave Ovens, Extractor Fans, and Bargain Shopping by James Oliver Cury on 05/14/08 at 05:20 PM The kitchen renovation continues to surprise me daily. Remember when I said I was getting a GE fridge? Didn't happen. And you know how I was considering an Amana or GE range? Well, the course changed. Basically, we scored a limited-time-only deal at Costco that got us a super-duper deal on Whirlpool products: a stainless steel French-door fridge (no water dispensing on the outside because they are prone to failure) and a matching "slide-in" range (which looks like a cooktop and is therefore, apparently, more fashionable). My wife had a big say in this decision, as you might have guessed. This is what happens to appliance shoppers: You do the research, you think you know what you want, and then you find a bargain and all the hard work goes by the wayside. We didn't think we needed a fancy microwave. And we certainly didn't want to spend big on a fan. But one look at the combo microwave/fan at Ikea (pictured above), and we were sold: This unit saves a LOT of room and it's not bad looking. The fan is under the oven, and the oven will reside over the range. Makes sense to us. For now. Has anyone tried this unit?

The authors focus on the use of neural networks to approximate continuous decision functions. In this context, the parameters to be estimated are the synaptic weights of the network. The number of such parameters and the quantity of data (information) available for training greatly influence the quality of the solution obtained. A previous study analysed the influence and interaction of these two features. In order to reach the architecture of the net leading to the best fitting of the training data, two original pruning techniques are proposed. The evolution of the neural network performances, training and test rates, as the number of synaptic weights pruned increases, is shown experimentally. Two kinds of synaptic weights are obvious: irrelevant synaptic weights, which can be suppressed from the model; and relevant synaptic weights, which cannot be removed. In the test problem, it is possible to reduce the size of the network up to 42%. A 4% improvement of the performance in generalisation is observed

This is a awesome game for Mom's ,Grandma's and Girls and Boys if they love to cook I Can't get enough of it neither can my Grandaughters ages 16 & 8 my grandson who 6 also likes to cook well worth the price also hours of fun!!!! Meme ( Grandma )
Man I thought it was going to be lame but it is actually fun.Me and my 5 year old daughter compete everytime to see who's the best cook.It is a great game for all ages..
My daughter has this game for her ds lite and liked it so much we decided to get it for her wii too. She found the game to be similar to the ds game and lots of fun. She loves to cook any chance she gets so these were the perfect games for her. Simple enough for a child of any age and enjoyable for parents to jump in and play too! Great game for your little chefs, you won't be disappointed.
This is a fun game for everyone! It keeps you one your feet and wanting more! Everyone in the family likes to play this game and we range from 10 to 35 years of age! Good entertainment!
We've had this game since Christmas so we have played it quite a few times. I'm 32 and think it's great fun. My 9 year old son thinks it is a lot of fun as well. Contrary to some other reviewers statements - 2 people can play this at a time. Though in two player mode our averaged size television seems a little small. Perhaps that will be a check mark in favor of my husband getting the big screen he wants :) The only downside that I can say with this game is that sometimes it can be a little confusing to figure out exactly what to do with the Wii remote to get it to do what you need. The directions are definately a little lacking in this area. On the plus side it has gotten our little guy interested in cooking. While some of the motions with the remote are unrealistic, I do find that some are quite similar to what is needed for real cooking. This would be a great game for your little gourmet in the making!
My daughter has this game for her DS and recently got a Wii for Christmas and wanted this game. This game is addictive!! You can cook by yourself or with another person. My daughter (7) and I play against each other and try to see who can beat who. You can also cook by yourself and earn new recipes to fix by yourself or with another person. Very easy and fun!!
I was all excited about purchasing this game for not only myself (mom) but also my kids who love to help in the kitchen. But I was very disappointed when I got this home and tried it out. The graphics are geared for the very young, and the extent of your cooking is very limited. I wouldnt' recommend wasting the money on this one.
I bought this for my daughters (9 & 5 ) for Christmas & they LOVE this game. It is very easy for them to play & they have hours of fun playing this game. I even enjoy playing with them too. We have several wii games & this one is their favorite so far. I am very glad I bought this for them!
I purchased the the game for my children ages nine and fourteen. They both love the game very much. They were happy and I was happy.
My 6 yr old has trouble playing the game and sometimes I do too. Maybe it's better for teens.
Maybe it's just me, but I've had trouble executing the movements. This game frustrates me.
Its pretty cool once you get use to the manuvers.
The control isn't very good, hard to control. Lots of repetitive motion, not much skill involved. It would probably be OK if the game responded better, but it really is very bad.
im a 22 year old feamale and i thought this would be like "cafe world' on facebook.. were u start a cafe and had to keep up with your customers wants and needs. its nothing like that! all you do is cut up food. peal food. and stir food. then thats it .. you have a time limit on all stages of making the food but other then that SOO BORING - sent it back the very next day after getting this. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
I just got the wii for my husband and myself. I am not much of a game player, but this game is so fun, and after you do it a few times, you get used to the controls. My best friend and I can play it for hours on the multi player setting, or if we feel more adventurous we take turns on the single mode.
If you are only playing the game once in a while when you get time, you will not beat it fast. It is a lot of fun though, for groups and single play, I would highly recommend it to anyone.
My daughters, age 5 & 9, received this with their new Wii for Christmas!! They are crazy over it, and I have to say that my husband and I enjoy it also. It's great to play together as a family, or to play by yourself. There are alot of written directions, but once we showed our 5 year old how to do it once, she took off from there, and it's challenging enough that it kept our 9 year old interested. Now, they want more cooking games...LOL!! Great game for the family!
I wasn't sure what type of game I was ordering. Now that I have it, I'm not sure I like it. However, for young people who like to cook, this might be just for them. It helps them understand what it takes to cook and bake. Cooking Mama makes you cut up ingredients, stir, fry, and pour them together to make a recipe. It's interesting...probably not great for adults who know how to cook; but it can be fun.
I bought this game and it is really fun to play My 6 year old daughter and I try to see who gets the higher score and it amazing she can can do some task better than I can. Its great for young girls who want to learn to cook and not have all the mess to clean up in the kitchen after just turn the game off LOL. We love this game and I would recommend this game for anyone who has a young girl.
I got this game because I loved playing it on Nintendo DS. It is NOT the same at ALL. The control for the knife is ok but everything else like stirring and flipping is ridiculous. It takes FOREVER to peel anything. It's just really sloppy. It did not meet my expectations, not even close. I was really disappointed.
Given a chance to buy it again, I probably would not choose this game a second time. It a decent enough game to play with the kids - who enjoy chopping the vegetables. Some of the motions, such as stirring, are had to master. It's not a tremendous amount of fun, but again, it's a nice, family-friendly game.

Holly88 3y agoTried this for 4th of July. My husband and I had multiple servings. There was very little leftovers.
Debusvi 5y agohad for dinner today and everybody loved it. Never seen so many clean plates. It was wonderful
Freshenuf 6y agoTerrific brisket!! I put all the ingredients in a slow cooker and let it cook for 5 hours. I thickened the sauce with a little cornstarch. This saved a great deal of time and my family loved it!
chi_wawa_mama 6y agoThis was wonderful. I used a much bigger brisket (11lbs) I just x4 the marinade. I also marinated it one of those bags you cook a turkey in. I added all ingrediance and squeezed all of the air from the bag. In the morning I removed a little over 1/2 the marinade secured thed turkey bag, popped a couple of holes in the bag and baked it for 7hrs. The meat fell apart and it was fantastic!

The retro-reflector structure of semiconductor ring laser (RR-SRL) has been further miniaturized by redesigning its total-internal-reflection parabolic mirrors. The SRL device with new RR structures is fabricated successfully and identical output properties have been observed from the clockwise and the counterclockwise directions. The static stably switching and locking regions of both the main-mode and first sidemode have been measured, which are ~ 5 and ~ 6 GHz, respectively. The fast switching speed of ~ 40 ps and error-free 10-Gb/s all-optical switching is achieved, which confirms the potential of these SRLs for high-speed all-optical digital applications.

November 4, 2008
Mona Bone Jakon only began Cat Stevens' comeback. Seven months later, he returned with Tea for the Tillerman, an album in the same chamber-group style, employing the same musicians and producer, but with a far more confident tone. Mona Bone Jakon had been full of references to death, but Tea for the Tillerman was not about dying; it was about living in the modern world while rejecting it in favor of spiritual fulfillment. It began with a statement of purpose, "Where Do the Children Play?," in which Stevens questioned the value of technology and progress. "Wild World" found the singer being dumped by a girl, but making the novel suggestion that she should stay with him because she was incapable of handling things without him. "Sad Lisa" might have been about the same girl after she tried and failed to make her way; now, she seemed depressed to the point of psychosis. The rest of the album veered between two themes: the conflict between the young and the old, and religion as an answer to life's questions. Tea for the Tillerman was the story of a young man's search for spiritual meaning in a soulless class society he found abhorrent. He hadn't yet reached his destination, but he was confident he was going in the right direction, traveling at his own, unhurried pace. The album's rejection of contemporary life and its yearning for something more struck a chord with listeners in an era in which traditional verities had been shaken. It didn't hurt, of course, that Stevens had lost none of his ability to craft a catchy pop melody; the album may have been full of angst, but it wasn't hard to sing along to. As a result, Tea for the Tillerman became a big seller and, for the second time in four years, its creator became a pop star. [In 2008, Tea for the Tillerman appeared in a beautifully remastered edition containing a bonus disc with 11 tracks; and a booklet with brief essays by Yusuf Islam (Stevens' current name), producer Paul Samwell-Smith and guitarist Alun Davies, and complete lyrics and photos. The bonus material was written and recorded for the album. The disc opens with the original demo for "Wild World" with Stevens accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, perhaps the first recorded version of the track. This is followed by two selections -- "Longer Boats" and "Into White" -- taken from a solo concert at ~the Troubadour in Los Angeles. There's also a great 1969 piano demo of "Miles from Nowhere" that approaches the final album arrangement. The first time Stevens' wonderful studiobacking band appears is on "Hard Headed Woman," from a 1976 tour of Japan. The great Alun Davies, Stevens' right-hand mate on acoustic guitar is here, showing his dusky brilliance. The recording is solid but it's not perfect;, but it contains the drama and intimacy Stevens was capable of injecting his songs with in a live setting. Davies and Stevens' rapport on a stage is even more remarkable than it is in the studio, as a pair of performances from the ~Majikat Earth Tour in 1976 reveal. "Where Do the Children Play" is one of disc two's real highlights. The real rarities come near the end of the disc, though, with Stevens performing at ~Yusuf's Café in 2006 accompanied by Davies and a small band. Both songs "Father and Son" and "Wild World" have aged exceedingly well. Making this well worth the money for the update.] ~ William Ruhlmann Thom Jurek, Rovi

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...

Boehringer Ingelheim is accusing The British Medical Journal (BMJ) of making "misleading statements" after the journal published an article and an editorial critical of the company's pursuit of approvals for the stroke risk-reduction anticoagulant drug Pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate), stating that the pharma giant "withheld from the regulators important analyses regarding how to use the drug as safely and effectively as possible."
In a 5,381-word article and two "sidebar" related briefs by the journal's investigations editor Deborah Cohen, as well as an editorial, The BMJ yesterday concluded that recommendations for use of Pradaxa and other new-generation oral anticoagulants "may be flawed because regulators did not see evidence showing that monitoring drug plasma levels could improve safety."
The BMJ cited data in previously-confidential internal Boehringer documents, released as part of the court case that the pharma giant settled when it agreed in May to pay $650 million to resolve about 4,000 lawsuits—a majority of the litigation—that linked Pradaxa to 500 patient deaths and serious bleeding.
Those documents, according to The BMJ, included "extensive" analyses that found that if the plasma levels of Pradaxa were measured, and the dose was adjusted accordingly, major bleeds could be reduced by 30-40% compared with well controlled warfarin. The analyses also identified the plasma levels at which the dose adjustment should occur to reduce the risk of a major bleed – though the adjustment would have little or no effect on the risk of ischaemic stroke, the journal reported.
"Optimally used (=titrated) dabigatran has the potential to provide patients an even better efficacy and safety profile than fixed dose dabigatran and also a better safety and efficacy profile than a matched warfarin group," according to one document quoted in the article.
The BMJ also cited internal emails not shared with regulators. One email, written by a Boehringer employee whose name was redacted, hinted that further study of dosage adjustment may complicate efforts to market Pradaxa: "This may not be a onetime test and could result in a more complex message (regular monitoring) and a weaker value proposition."
Boehringer has positioned Pradaxa as an anticoagulant that not require regular blood-testing and adjustments in dosage to ensure that patients are receiving the dosage they need—unlike the half-century-old blood thinner warfarin.
One factor in the bleeding reports associated with the drug suggested by the journal: More Pradaxa users were elderly (45% were 76 years or older, 30% 80 or older), according to Boehringer marketing data, compared with the Phase III study that resulted in the drug's initial approval (40% were over 75 and 17% over 80).
Earlier this year, the company highlighted favorable results published by the FDA from a study of 134,000 Medicare patients aged 65 or older who were diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. The study found that among new users of blood-thinning drugs, Pradaxa was associated with a lower risk of clot-related strokes, bleeding in the brain and death compared to warfarin.
Boehringer countered The BMJ article yesterday with a press release and a video. In the release, the company stated that in 2012, its scientists performed what it called "preliminary, exploratory simulations with mathematical models" to understand whether dose adjustments based on plasma concentrations might further improve Pradaxa's benefits and safety.
"Because the simulations did not offer reliable predictions of actual patient outcomes, they were not provided to regulators. However, all of the data that was used for the simulations had already been provided," Boehringer stated. "It is inappropriate to provide regulators simulations that are unreliable and have limitations."
The company called the preliminary simulations post-hoc exploratory analyses that are generally not shared with regulators because they require testing in a clinical trial.
"Boehringer Ingelheim made a robust effort to find ways to utilize plasma levels to further improve the risk/benefit profile of Pradaxa and it is irrational to suggest otherwise," Sabine Luik, M.D., the company's svp, Medicine & Regulatory Affairs, stated in the press release. "The truth is the totality of scientific evidence does not support dosing decisions for Pradaxa based on blood levels. The research shows that individual patient characteristics, such as kidney function and certain medications, are critical factors in contributing to the risk of bleeding."
Boehringer added: "We are deeply concerned that the BMJ's biased reports could compromise the health and safety of people who may benefit from Pradaxa to reduce their risk of thrombotic events."
The video featured John Smith, M.D., Ph.D., regional medical director for Boehringer, who insisted that Pradaxa was safe when used as directed, and contended: "Specifically hand-picked fragments of our robust internal discussions were made available to the media by external parties, which resulted in a gross distortion of the facts about Pradaxa and Boehringer Ingelheim.
"Ethical behavior and patient safety are at the core of everything we do," Dr. Smith declared.
Pradaxa first won FDA approval in 2010 for reducing the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), based on a single Phase III trial, RE-LY, that Dr. Smith said involved more than 18,000 patients. Two postmarket studies showed a favorable risk-benefit profile for the drug, he added in the video.
In April, Pradaxa won approval for a new indication, prevention of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Last year, Pradaxa racked up €1.206 billion ($1.6 billion) in 2013 sales, up 16.2% over 2012.

Now I have a small problem with an ASUS that I picked up second hand. Windows 8 was preinstalled but it was buggy as hell, system restore was down and you couldn't install any new programs. Now hearing only bad things about the OS I decided to wipe it and start a fresh.
I chose to run Ubuntu 12.4 64 bit because I had it laying about. So I went through the UEFI and turned of the bells and whistles, and started up in legacy without the security. Live from USB worked straight off the bat no problems. It's still working fine. But the problem started after I had installed Ubuntu and did a reboot. It simply didn't have any option to boot from HDD, none. In fact there were no boot options. I replaced the USB and Live booted up fine again. I looked at all my partitions and they were there. I did some reading about and tried a program called root-repairer. I ran that successfully - http://paste.ubuntu.com/6871116/ is the log.
After that I recieved an option of Windows loader. but after pressing that it would just return me to the bios screen.
This is the flashiest computer I have owned, as in the newest as most of the computers I've been running are ancient in today's terms. I've been reading about but it seems no one has had a problem exactly like mine.
It's quite perplexing. Thanking anyone who can point me in the right direction.
Cheers Dwuan

Welcome to St.Martin's!
It is believed that there has been a church on the site for at least 1000 years. The parish of St. Martin's East Woodhay is part of the North West Hampshire Benefice, the Bishop of Winchester and Earl of Carnarvon being the patrons of the living.
The present church of St.Martin was built in 1823, being late Georgian. It is very light, with splendid acoustics, and is frequently used for concerts and for recordings. The church is well worth a visit. Do join us for worship if you're ever in this remote corner of the Winchester Diocese. You can be assured of a warm welcome.
There are many hundreds of graves in the St Martin's churchyard dating back to 1546. Click here for a full index and catalogue prepared by the East Woodhay Local History Society.

Is a 'Full House' reunion on the horizon?
A teaser for a Super Bowl commercial may hint that the crew (or at least part of it) from "Full House" are ready for a reunion.
The teaser video, posted on Dannon's Oikos site, features spokesman John Stamos, who played Uncle Jessie, Bob Saget, known on the show as Danny Tanner, and Dave Coulier, who played Uncle Joey.
The teaser begins with Stamos shutting off the television having presumably watched the Super Bowl. Naturally, because it's a commercial, he's eating Dannon yogurt. He then turns to Saget and Coulier and asks if they're ready to get their own place (the three shared a house on the 90s sitcom).
The teaser is apparently part of a larger advertising push by Dannon, which its named "Bromance." There are several videos staring the trio that are posted on its website.
You know, I wouldn't say no to a "Full House" reunion. After all, I grew up in the 90s and watched it all the time. But I'm pretty sure we can skip the Michelle and Kimmy characters. Never liked them any way.

Web Science Trust
The Web Science Trust is a joint effort originally started between MIT and University of Southampton to bridge and formalize the social and technical aspects of the World Wide Web. The Trust now coordinates a set of international "WSTnet Laboratories" that include many of the top academic research groups in this emerging area. It was first announced at MIT on November 2, 2006 as the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI), changing its name in 2009 to the Web Science Trust.

Interdisciplinarity involves the combining of two or more academic fields into one single discipline. An interdisciplinary field crosses traditional boundaries between academic disciplines or schools of thought, as new needs and professions have emerged. Originally the term interdisciplinary is applied within education and training pedagogies to describe studies that use methods and insights of several established disciplines or traditional fields of study.

Embedded system
An embedded system is a computer system designed for specific control functions within a larger system, often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. By contrast, a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer (PC), is designed to be flexible and to meet a wide range of end-user needs. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today.

20 Undeniable Signs You've Reached Middle Age
Let's face it; we live in a youth-oriented society.

Young guy gets toyed and fucked
The Bottom is exquisite. He pants in pleasure the entire time and takes what his Top has to give him, without complaint, after cumming twice, and is still ready for more pounding. He would look fabulous wearing a matching collar. The Bottom is a masterful smooth shaven, spunk-vacuuming, pleasure *****gy, cum whore, and I want one.
orgeous young *****pussy toyed and bred, and the little bitch cums twice...sweet!!!
love to break in and train tight bottoms... this guy is gonna be well-trained.....
What a beautiful bottom"
Always great to see young lads at play
This is so fuckin' hot!!
I wonder if these things get storyboarded first? LOL
