Super quick and easy beef and broccoli for #30MinuteThursday – this stir fry is on the table in under 30 minutes and is way better then takeout!
It's 30 Minute Thursday again, and I don't know about you but I'm super excited to get some more quick and easy recipes to try for those crazy weeknights. Our evenings seem to be getting busier and busier as the school year goes on. There's hockey or soccer or diving or something almost every night.
When did my kids get big enough to be busy with all these sports? That's what I want to know. Just yesterday they were tiny and a busy evening was …. well, I don't think we had them. The kids went to bed at 7 and we had the whole evening to ourselves. And yet I somehow felt busy back then. A different kind of busy I suppose – my days are a little less hectic now!
With those crazy evenings, I am loving quick and easy meals these days. Especially ones that the whole family will eat, and eat without any complaints while fighting over who takes the leftovers for lunch the next day. I've been really into making various types of takeout style food at home lately, and this easy beef and broccoli will be entering the regular rotation. Along with my baked lemon chicken and chicken chow mein. All amazing. All better than takeout, but so easy to make that I wonder why we ever get takeout.
Quick and easy beef and broccoli. It's ready in less than 30 minutes and the whole family will love it. Who needs takeout on a busy night? This is definitely better!
If you're looking for more easy 30 minute meals, there is a whole list below the recipe. Hope you find something you'd like to try!
Yield: 4 servings
Super quick and easy beef and broccoli for #30MinuteThursday - this stir fry is on the table in under 30 minutes and is way better then takeout!
15 minPrep Time
10 minCook Time
25 minTotal Time
- In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, corn starch, ginger and garlic. Set aside.
- In a large wok or non-stick skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the sliced steak to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, flipping once, until browned all over. Add the prepared sauce and broccoli and stir to coat everything. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. If you have a lid you can cover it and just leave it for about 3 minutes and it will be done.
- Stir in the grated carrots and heat for about 30 seconds. Serve over hot rice.
Flank steak is delicious in this, but you can use any steak you like. I've also made it with sirloin or even a marinating steak. These photos were of a really inexpensive marinating steak and it was still amazing, so use whatever beef you like.

There are times when I feel like the "idea well" is about to run dry or the only ideas I have aren't worthwhile pursuing–you know, lemons. I try not to be too hard on myself when this happens and remain hopeful that what I am thinking or dreaming about will provide an experience to move me forward in my photography.
I don't know much about the history of art or photography. I began to do more reading and as I did, I found I wanted to discuss the concepts and to ask questions of other artists and photographers. A few weeks ago I visited the National Art Gallery with a friend from work who is a painter and sculptor. We spent the entire time in a radius of about 25 feet and talked about five paintings and one sculpture in total. I had a fabulous time and found myself wishing I could spend every week doing something similar.
That thought has materialized rather quickly into what I call IDEA or Image Discussion for Emerging Artists. The concept is very simple. Bring together a group of photographers on the same journey to discover and use their voice and have a biweekly image discussion. Each time we will select one or two images to discuss but they won't be our own. Instead we will review iconic–and lessen known–images and talk about their context and why they work, how and why they've influenced photography and the world in general, and what they mean for our own work.
Last night, led by Ray Ketcham, we had our first G+ Hangout focusing on Edward Weston's "Pepper No. 30" and also the image that won the World Press Photo Award for 2012. Two images that seem unlikely candidates for the same conversation but by the end of the evening, we managed to connect several dots. Two keys points were that art and photographs need to be viewed within the context in which they were made and second, that our work can sometimes transcend even our own intention for it.
It was close to two hours before we ended our time together and we all agreed that we would meet again in two weeks time and do this again. I personally think it will be a great way to supplement my learning and improve my understanding. The proof however will be in the pudding as they say, and time will tell if this leads to making deeper, more compelling and memorable images. (Definitely they have to be better than these lemons!)
What do you think of this concept? Is it something you've thought about doing? Would it be a group you might like to start up? I'd love to know your thoughts!

Oh, I know Pinterest is already working, and quickly, on the big problems they have been having with copyright issues…so deleting my account wasn't a knee-jerk reaction to rumors of lawsuits or anything like that.
But I was never comfortable using Pinterest…often because I would look at someone else's pin, trying to find the source for an image (because I want to know who made it), and there wouldn't be any information or links back to the original. There were just too many unacknowledged images on my boards, too many re-pins that, when I looked into it, didn't have attribution. It was such a mess (and I was so mortified that I had been doing this to other people's images!) that I deleted my account tonight. It just seemed easier than going through all my pins, deleting the ones I couldn't trace to source.
I'll wait till Pinterest has sorted its shit out before starting up again. So sorry to all the Pinterest followers I'm dropping, but I'd hate to think I encouraged anyone to re-pin an unattributed image that I'd used wrongly.
To be quite honest, I wasn't using it very much anymore; I found all those images overwhelming. Spend too much time looking at other people's original work and you might not be able to come up with your own! It was like being raped in the eyeballs by Pantone swatches: cupcakes, quilts, wedding decorations, dresses…all higgledy-piggledy and terribly, well, preoccupied with the acquisition of consumer goods, and with self-delusion: "If I can't own it, at least it's mine on Pinterest!"
I found that looking for too long made me start to want things…things that I didn't need, that I didn't even really want, that wouldn't make me happier than I am, and that, when I finally got my hands on them, I probably wouldn't use after the two-week shiny-new-toy phase had passed. It just does that to you…convinces you that you want/need all this…stuff! There were some good things, of course, but most of it was just ordinary junk, but in pretty colors. Blargh, I'd kill myself if I had more than two things together in one room that used the rainbow as a color scheme. I'm not even sure that the rainbow can be called a colour scheme*…when you're 14, the rainbow is a color scheme. But I'm not 14. Anymore. And I'm so glad my mom refused to paint my bedroom walls with balloons arranged in rainbow stripes, when I was!
*it's a spectrum…you're meant to choose a few hues, and leave the rest. That is a scheme.
As for my own images, I wish I could say something cool about the Creative Commons permission I put on my online images, but it's all pretty straightforward and uninteresting. Share alike. Attribution would be mighty decent of you. Non-commercial, though I'll be honest and tell you I can't be arsed to enforce anything, legally. I did, however, tell a woman to "drop dead" in 2003, and she obliged the next morning. Also, I put on a curse on someone in highscool, and her partner recently killed himself, I was told. Just sayin'. *laughs*
Banksy was cool before anyone else, and nobody does the Copyleft magnanimity better than he does. You'll find this gem on his website, under the ironically-titled 'Shop' heading:

Audiobook Review: Marked (Dark Protectors, #7) by Rebecca Zanetti
My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.
Ah, the last book in the Dark Protectors series. Endings of series are always bittersweet. I love seeing how everything wraps up, but then I also sad to see the end of characters that I've come to love. In this series and in this book, the ending comes with the story of Zane and Janie. Janie is a character we've watched grow up throughout the series.
When we first meet Janie in the first book, she is only four years old. I haven't read many books where I've known the character as a child. I wasn't sure how I would like a romance about a book when I read about them and stuff bear named Mr Mullett. Turns out, it didn't bother me in the slightest.
Janie is the chosen one. She is a very powerful seer. She sees the future. Always has. We see her do this in the first book when she is just four years old and tells her that her knew father is coming to get them. She also has the ability to create dream worlds. Not only create dream worlds, but to allow other people into them. In comes Zane, a boy that has grown up with Janie, but we don't know what he is. Is he a vampire, shifter, a hybrid? No one knew. There is also Kalin, who is a kurjan that has been at war with the vampires since the beginning of the series. He also wants Janie.
Zane has had a rough life. We've seen him in bits and pieces throughout the series, but this is the first time we really get to spend any time with him. He is very loyal and a great warrior. He's done things he isn't proud of, but he has done them to protect his family. He also wants to protect Janie and keep her out of this war. Problem is that she is vital to the war. There is no keeping her out of it.
I really enjoyed the wrap up to this series. I thought it brought things to a great conclusion. I loved that there was plenty of page time with each of the characters that I've loved from the series. I loved watching everyone come together to win the war. While there are two potential love interests for Janie, there is no love triangle. Kalin is never a true potential lover for Janie, no matter how much he wants it. He is just too evil for he to ever willingly be with him.
I think that this was my favorite romance of the series. I loved watching these two come together. I don't know if it is because this is something that has been building since book one or what, but I really enjoyed seeing Zane trying so hard to win Janie. He really wasn't what Janie was expecting when she finally got to met him in person.
I also enjoyed the wrap up at the end with each couple. I thought that was a great way to end the series. I felt it gave it great closure. I will miss this world that Rebecca Zanetti has built. I will have to check out some of her other series to see what I'm going to try next. I'm sure it will be an adventure.
Once again, I really enjoyed the narration by Karen White. I've enjoyed it throughout the entire series. I was always able to tell which character was speaking. She had some wonderful accents, plus the demonic voices she had to tackle. There was even some revisit of the really young Janie, which she nails. If you haven't tried Karen White, I recommend you try one of her audiobooks.
**I like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Long gone are the days where video game representations of football could get away with only including a season mode and head-to-head options. If you want to be a contender in this day and age, you'd better include an in-depth franchise mode that allows you to take a group of scrubs and build them into a dynasty over a span of several seasons. NCAA College Football 2K3's interpretation of this mode is called "legacy," and it allows you to take over just about every facet of running any of the 117 college programs included in the game. If you're too lazy to deal with the petty details, you can always pass the buck onto your assistant coaches.
When you first begin the legacy mode, you choose a team and jump right to the action by playing its first game on the schedule. When the season concludes you can go to a full complement of bowl games, and if you have the most outstanding player in the country, he'll win the Heisman. This is where things start to get interesting. Once the season concludes you begin the rigorous task of cutting players who failed to perform and recruiting high school studs to replace them.
There are five weeks of recruiting with 11 visits available for each. As you spend more time with players you'll begin to see their school allegiance change and it's quite a good feeling to snag a star recruit from the clutches of a program the caliber of Notre Dame or Florida State. But it can be difficult to score big recruits unless your team is already winning, which takes away from some of the realism of the game. In the real world, hot recruits will sometimes sign with poor teams because they know they'll get playing time as a freshman. But in NCAA College Football 2K3, it's as if every player wants to go to Oklahoma or Miami and you won't get them to change their minds without using the majority of your visits on them.
Once you have your recruits you can put them through specific training to improve their skills. But take note, putting your linemen through pass and catch drills is a surefire way to decrease their ratings. Once players graduate, you can then import them into NFL 2K3 to continue their careers. While not quite as deep as the "dynasty" mode in EA's NCAA Football 2003, the legacy mode will more than satisfy most players. It's fairly balanced so that it only takes a few years to build a scrub like Temple into a contender, but weekly rankings are a bit skewed because they fail to take strength of schedule into account and place too much emphasis on wins and losses.
Aside from the legacy and prerequisite exhibition mode for up to two players, there's a season option for those who like to take it one year at a time, a tournament mode for party situations, and practice to help you master the timing of the game. Speaking of which, performing special moves in the game can be frustrating at first because there's a slight pause between pressing a button and seeing the action take place on screen. Eventually you adjust and learn to anticipate tackles, but the lack of responsiveness is a shame considering Visual Concepts had it nearly perfect in the Dreamcast version of NFL 2K1. Another issue is the lack of swim moves or any other linemen techniques. If you're the type of player that likes to blitz every down, this is certainly an issue.
As mentioned previously, NCAA College Football 2K3 has been built using the same code from last year's NFL 2K2, and with it comes many of the bugs that plagued that game. Field goals that appear to fly between the uprights will be called no good, lead blockers will run right past linebackers attempting to fill the hole, and offensive linemen tend to leave their blocks a bit too early. The computer AI could also use some tweaking. In one instance, I hit the kicker late and drew a roughing the kicker penalty. But instead of declining the penalty after making the kick, the computer decided to accept it and kick it again. The computer also has problems managing the clock at the end of games.
Stretching out for the catch.

It's that bittersweet time of year again! As the summer fades, so do beachy-blonde highlights and glistening tans. There are SO many exciting things about autumn…nothing better than reading what's hot on the runway (Fashion Week!) and off (cute jeans for the fall!).
My senior year of college starts in just a few more days (EEK!). If you read this blog, you know I'm obsessed with sun kissed blonde locks and a beachy-glam vibe all year 'round. To start off my fabulous last year as an undergrad, I went even blonder–platinum blonde, that is!
Before you think platinum blonde isn't awesome, get this: from the New York Times to Lucky, white-blonde is where it's at! Celebs, like Miley's white-hot pixie to Nicki Minaj stunningly rocking the hue, are loving it. The color is sexy, chic, and sophisticated, and with proper care and a fabulous colorist, you can get this desired look too!
Here is my hair BEFORE: I was so poor in the spring I went to a beauty school and got a few highlights for $45! Luckily I spend a lot of time in the sun to naturally brighten them.
This was about 4 months of no color or cut; only sunlight and fancy hair care products! My hair was super long, and I tried to keep it as nourished as possible, but it was very unhealthy.
One fabulous Sunday in August at Downtown Hair Center with Ashley, who's super cute and amazing with hair, and VOILA! I am finally my favorite shade of blonde I was destined to be born with!
Here are some of the pics of my highlights Ashley took the day of from her Instagram! Feel free to follow her… Her work is amazing!
So looking beautiful in pictures is only part of the journey to platinum blonde hair. To start, talk to your colorist to make sure it's right for you! Ask her how expensive the upkeep of color will be (that includes highlights, glaze, products, etc.), and which shade of white blonde is right for you! A good stylist will always tell you the truth and get you as close to the color you desire.
After you get your beautiful blonde tresses, manage them wisely. Here are my favorite products to get the best, blondest, healthiest hair:
1. Shu Uemura Color Lustre Cool Blonde – A fantastic gloss to neutralize brassy tones and keep your color fresh between salon visits!
2. John Frieda Sheer Blonde Highlight Activating Enhancing Shampoo for Lighter Shades – My favorite blonde shampoo of all time! I always notice how shiny and vibrant my color is after using it.
3. Bed Head Colour Goddess Conditioning Mask – You can use this conditioning mask in place of normal conditioner, because bleach stresses strands out! Take extra care of your locks when you go platinum, as hair tends to dry out fast. Bonus – it smells like a fall candle!
4. Kerastase Soleil Aqua-Seal Spray – Give your blonde hair the same love and protection you would your skin under a hot, scorching sun with this UV protection leave-in spray at the beach!
Blonde ladies, enjoy your color, and enjoy the process to platinum! No matter what shade your hair is, you're beautiful!
* All opinions expressed in this post are MY OWN! No compensation – I just love everything I wrote about!

Web site: http://www.k-state.edu/media/mediaguide/bios/powersbio.html
News release prepared by: Nellie Ryan, 785-532-6415, email@example.com
Friday, March 12, 2010
MANHATTAN -- News is changing in several ways and innovation is taking place at record-breaking speed, according to Angela Powers, director of the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Kansas State University.
Powers researches influences on news content, media leadership and ethics, and media convergence.
"Some newspapers in the U.S. are laying off people, closing their doors," she said. "Yet, other newspapers have an enthusiasm for new methods and techniques for gathering news and information that is completely changing the way they're doing business."
Part of that transformation has to do with the Internet, which has created massive interconnectedness, Powers said.
"Journalists are now routinely producing original content for the Internet and determining which medium is most appropriate, rather than simply covering a story for print or electronic media," she said.
Online journalism, which incorporates interactivity, hypertexuality and multimediality, is now considered the fourth kind of journalism following radio, television/cable and print, Powers said.
Interactivity ranges from e-mail exchanges, bulletin boards, comment sections and Web chats; hypertexuality refers to links to original content, related stories and archives; and multimediality is the user's ability to decide among different media types.
Powers said there are some great examples of converged media operations in Kansas, including the Lawrence Journal World and the Manhattan Mercury.
"Both newspapers blend the modern blog with accepted journalism," she said. "Readers are able to create their own Weblogs or blogs online. On any given day there are at least three to five active local reader blogs."
Powers said that popular blog topics of fall 2009 included climate change, music, economics, life inspirations and photography. She also said that the most popular blogs appeared to be those that asked readers simple questions, such as "What are your favorite songs associated with musicals?" Readers then responded by providing their favorite songs along with links to performances on YouTube.
The Mercury and the Journal World also allow readers to comment on stories published on their Web sites. Powers said that blogs and polls generate a great deal of comments, and that local and state news engage readers. She said these are encouraging signs for newspapers wanting to attract readers to their Web sites.
For students to become successful journalists in an online world, Powers said they should develop the following skills: ability to operate independently; to focus on innovation; develop autonomy; listen to ideas; not be afraid to fail; go fast and take chances; and gain technology and HTML experience.
Students in K-State's A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications are learning reporting skills and media convergence not only in the classroom, but also through jobs and internships, Powers said. She also credited the school's faculty in constantly providing students with the real-world experience they will need to succeed.
Powers has advice for soon-to-graduate journalism students.
"Your resume needs to have a Google presence," she said. "If employers can't find an applicant on Google, then they are not considered in the job pool. Employers need to be able to find applicants' work online. Students should have a Facebook account and some sign that they exist on the Internet."
In addition to an online presence, Powers recommends students' resumes include a DVD and a Web site. To enhance both, she said they should use Skype or Flip cameras and not be afraid to post raw videos of news events.
"Exuberate a 'give the audience what they want' mentality," she said.
Powers is a Senior Fulbright specialist and Fulbright scholar. Before joining K-State in 2004, she was a television reporter for NBC and CBS affiliates. Powers earned a doctorate in mass media from Michigan State University.
Powers just returned from the Middle East, where she was invited by the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait to speak about the future of journalism as part of the embassy's Cultural/Journalism Exchange Program.

My friend Lori just sent this to me. Lori is far too much of a lady to actually post this story (of unknown origin) on her blog.
I, however, am not.
As I freely tackle issues of a sensitive nature with great abandon. Since I lack self restraint and all.
A pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. A lady stood and walked to the podium.
She said, "I have a Praise. Two months ago, my husband, Claude, had a terrible motorcycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if
they could help him."
You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Claude must have experienced.
"Claude was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able
to piece together the crushed remnants of Claude's scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."
Again, the men in the congregation were unnerved and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Claude.
"Now," she announced in a quavering voice, "thank the Lord, Claude is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely."
All the men sighed with relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.
A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.
He said, "I'm Claude."
The entire congregation held its breath.
"I just want to tell my wife that the word is sternum."
Have an awesome weekend, everyone!

Learning new things each day using Todo 7!
Here are some ideas, suggestions that would be helpful to me and, perhaps, to others...
So a couple of questions for you on the suggestions...
Assign Actions with more than one contact. I'm not sure how this would work. Maybe you can give specific examples of what you'd like it to do. I guess email and sms would be able to send to a group, but I'm not sure any of the other actions would work with more than one contact.
Completed Tasks. What if we put them off into an "archive" section. They would no longer be in the normal flow of tasks but you could go look through there for historical reasons. Is that what you are looking for?
I'm not sure where that would go at the top, we want to avoid crowding that any more and making it overwhelming, but maybe we enhance the filter toolbar to include those options? the filter toolbar is going to be sticky in 7.0.1 so it will remain in the position you leave it.
Assign actions...another app (if you em me I will let you know...wasn't sure if I should leave it out) just added this recently and I found it useful. You are able to make multiple checkmarks on contacts. I don't think that it allows groups.

Google Wastes 4.8 Million Hours and $120 Million in One Day
Google Timewaster
Sorry, that was meant to be Google Pacman ... last Friday Google added a css/javascript version of Pacman to their home screen, replacing the Google logo for the day. Fully functional and playable with your keyboard's arrow keys, the game was played for an average of 36 seconds by visitors to the Google homepage.
According to RescueTime, an extra 36 seconds was spent on Google (per user) last Friday, resulting in an amazing 4.8 million wasted hours. Also, given that it was a work day, those lost hours add up to a rather impressive $120,483, 800 in lost revenue.
What's even more shocking is that it's estimated around 70 - 75% of people who saw the Pacman replacement for the Google logo missed the 'Insert Coin' button (next to 'Google Search' above) and didn't realise the game was playable. When you consider the numbers above, that's probably a good thing!
The Google homepage experiment was in fact so popular that Google seem to have made it a permanent addition with it's own homepage - you can visit it here. So that's potentially a lot more wasted man hours at work. Particularly as people like me and our SEO engineers are linking to it.
Does it really matter?
Ok so I started the post with quite a bold headline, but actually I'm not sure how accurate this is. Yes, people will have wasted a little bit of time playing the game but I'm fairly confident those 36 seconds would most likely have been lost somewhere else anyway - Facebook in particular comes to mind. So maybe this was more an exercise in taking 36 seconds per person away from Facebook rather than out of anybody's working day.
Also, I don't know what all the fuss is about really, the World Cup is on the way, and I'd be pretty confident that will cost a considerable amount more in terms of man-hours and expenditure. I can't imagine too many people are going to be calling in sick to play Pacman, but watch what happens when England play America! In fact, given the state of our national economy, it's probably best that they don't get any further that the first round ..... although I won't be hoping for that!
Either way I think this was a fun little experiment by Google, and a good way of demonstrating how keen we are as a species on wasting time ... and how much I miss games like Pacman. Fingers crossed for a javascript version of Double Dragon then!

All my muscles hurt, this bloody T25 thing seems to be working. The good news is that the weekend is here and the sun is out so unless you pay the bills by having to spend 8 hours in an office, get yourself out there and enjoy the lovely weather.
As for this week, it has all been very quiet. Too quiet for my taste, really. Not much happening at work and nothing happening by night, which means I have been mostly at home re-watching "The Shield", still one of my favourite series of all time. I waited 3 years in order to forget some of the details of the story so I could watch it again and experience some of the excitement of the first time, and guess what? It's working!
I'm now halfway through season 4, just when it starts to get really intense, and along the way I have found myself marvelling at some of the dialogues (there have been many great lines but so far my favourite has to be Antwon Mitchell's nasty threat to Shane – see below), the roughness of the scenes, the complexity of some of the characters… man, it's just brilliantly written. If you haven´t watch it yet, do yourself a favour and please start watching it now. You won't regret it.

Do you guys remember back in the 90s when Trent Reznor was being a jerk to Courtney Love and she was all like "Don't call your band Nine Inch Nails if you only have a three-inch one." Ah that was rich.
I just read this great quote where she tries to justify it by saying:
"My band's called Hole. It's not called Little Hole, it's not called Big Hole. It's not called Flopping Nonie, it's not called Tiny Rosebud, it's not called Barbie Pussy, it's called Hole. He's still mad at me about it. Dude, that was the '90s, what the fuck?"
Here is a recent video of her dispelling some hard won words of wisdom.
So of course that sent me into a Courtney Love K-hole of you-tubing. Do you remember 24 Hours Of Love when Courtney took over MTV for 24 hours? That was back when they played music videos, good music videos!
So its starts off all sweet and innocent.....or not.
And then this is the last few hours. This actually doesn't even convey how crazy things got.
This is kind of a "best of" of that 24 hours. I actually love the depressed Courtney segment at 23 hours. I get like that when I'm hungry or tired. "All I really wanted was to be an evil genius"

Real Talk 4 Men Dating Women
You're dating someone you like. You can tell she's into you. You're into her, too. But you still have a few women that you've been working on the side.
To be fair: you knew these women before you met her.
So… you're not really doing anything wrong by talking to them now. And it's just a little flirting. No harm, no foul. Right?
And she definitely doesn't need to know because… she would flip her shit if she did. She wouldn't understand that you're just having a little harmless fun; keeping it interesting.
But the problem is that this little lie goes way deeper than you think.
If you go to a chiropractor for a problem in your back, they may show you how it all stems from a problem in your knee. Your whole body is connected, and when one part of us is out of whack, it eventually causes the whole system to get messed up.
The same is true in our relationships.
In this case, our side games cause women's natural intuition to rise, creating Defcon 4. They don't know what's going on, but they can tell you're more distant.
Whereas you used to be really attentive, now she notices you on your phone, answering texts on the sly late at night.
You think you can keep your little game going. After all, it's harmless. You're only having a little fun. But she's not stupid.
Now, your trust factor just went down.
And because your trust factor went down, she doesn't feel as close to you.
And because she doesn't feel as close to you, she's doesn't smile at you like she used to.
And instead of feeling close, lying next to each other after sex, you now feel an invisible wall has risen between you and her.
The problem is that your attention is constantly diverted in different directions. This world already has a ton of distractions. But you had to add more!
But why? Why do we, men, play with fire?
You think you know the answer, but you don't. And I'm talking to BOTH men and women here:
Women think it's just because many men are just bad news; men think it's just because we like to keep it interesting.
But the truth goes way deeper, and to stop here there would be a disservice to men-at-large.
On a certain level, we're scared because we don't trust women. Our experience of women is that they say they want the truth, but once they get the truth, they lose their shit and rain down fire from on high.
In effect, men don't have space to be honest with their women. So, we begin to just omit certain details to keep the peace.
Or so we think.
But the truth is that although women do lose their shit, it's always only temporary.
In fact, women will love you for being honest with them–even when they don't like what you're telling them. After a little time, once their emotions have petered out, they will trust you and feel even closer to you than before they got angry–because you were being real with them. And that's what they really want.
Something real.
Women can stand that you make mistakes and act like an idiot. They can stand you saying outlandish shit that makes them really angry. But they can't stand you not being honest.
And your relationship can't withstand it, either.
And the women we're talking to on the side have one thing in common: they're not challenging us to go deeper. And that's why we're talking to them. Because we're terrified of going deeper.
We're terrified because it will take us to a place we've never gone before; a place we know next to nothing about.
Feelings/emotions: sadness, shame and insecurity–to name a few.
We'd rather hide them–stuff them way down–than actually let someone who cares about us know about it, so they might be able to be there for us.
We're scared to let someone else in.
We're scared because it's a box we don't want to explore; we don't really want to know what's inside. Especially with our woman!
We're supposed to be the gender who has it together, right?
That's one of the biggest lies with regard to relationships. We have come to believe that women want us to have our emotional shit together–all the time. But it's not the case.
Because that entails putting on armor. And that armor creates distance. And that distance becomes a bonafide relationship killer.
It's about being willing to open yourself up to exploring with another human being; to being penetrated by her presence just as much as you penetrate her with your cock.
It's about opening up more and more to life. Because you're either opening up or shutting down. There isn't any safe place to hang-out (hide out?) in between.
And, as much as people–even many women–believe and perpetuate the lie, evolved women don't want a fake version of strong. They want you open.
Because that's where the good stuff is.
That's where life happens.

As 2017 draws to a close, it is time to peep into the crystal ball for 2018. But before that let me just quickly give a brief prelude.
What a year!
2017 was supposed to be a dramatic year. Back in 2011, from the extent and nature of QE, I expected around 2017 to be the year when the shit hits the fan. How wrong was I! In the intervening period I was caught off guard by a smallish slowdown, a central bank response that far outweighed anything we have seen and an unprecedented surge in valuations.
Asset prices have increased over this period since 2013. In 2017, they have reached their all times highs. The valuations of all the asset classes increased almost linearly. Many are more expensive than 2007. The art market has gone up substantially. Bitcoins are the new game in town creating large price changes on an almost daily basis.
Inflation, on the other hand, has been relatively benign. Not much is happening in food prices. Oil and Gold, the two special
The dichotomy between these two is quite important. In Subverting Capitalism and thereafter on this blog I have maintained that when you pump money while watching the inflation basket, it leads to non-inflation basket asset price inflation. This relative price discrepancy gets corrected as prices can flow through two central asset classes - oil and homes. Oil is on its way to becoming irrelevant. But not homes.
In 2018
Some of the important events that are likely in 2018 seem as follows:
Home prices, however, continue to rise till they break inflation.
Home prices across the world rallied between 2003-04 till the peak in 2007-08. The rise of the home prices was at an unprecedented rate. There was a lull in 2008-2010 period. While prices crashed, the house price to median income ratio was high. Since 2010, the housing prices have started rising. The rise has been documented by IMF here and by Economist here.
So how higher can these go? Well, they will go till they break inflation on the upside. There is a condition. The prices may not go up if artificially cooled. Singapore has done it, Canada is considering it and others are monitoring the house prices. In effect, house prices are almost included in the inflation basket. When that is the case, the excess money has to move somewhere before Fed and other central banks can suck it out. Commodities - gold and oil offer such bets.
Oil touching $100 then retracing back to $40-$45.
Not many are pricing oil beyond $70 at present. Apart from one call from Goldman, there seems to calls for high Oil prices. Oil is also becoming irrelevant. It has now been established that "peak oil" is more peak oil demand rather than peak oil supply. The decision of Saudi Aramco to go for IPO is an acknowledgement of this reality. These days, IPOs are an exit for promoters not call for investment with promoters.
Oil is surprisingly inflexible in the short term and almost surely irrelevant in the very long term. It is possible for short-term geopolitics to drive a supply squeeze to push prices up. At present geopolitics is in a stalemate. As much as Saudi Arabia likes higher oil prices, those will help Qatar and Iran too. Further, the real target of low oil prices - US Shale producers have turned out to be more resilient than anticipated. Thus quagmire will solve itself gradually. With Russia entering the picture in the Middle East, you can be sure Oil price will rise in short term. The higher oil price beneficiary group is bigger than the low Oil price beneficiary group. Higher oil price will also ease pressure on Venezuela.

The story of 2017 is the breakout of bitcoin. Where will bitcoin go in 2018? More important than that question, what effect will bitcoin have on the main economy?
Return of Japan
2018 should be the year when Japan makes a comeback. There are a bunch of quality companies that have been stuck because of Japan's economic stalemate. I think Japanese companies will see some traction this year. Japans social re-engineering is going to be the thing to watch for. If Japanese women truly join the workforce and are allowed to operate at their potential then we could see something remarkable. It is possible that whole new segments of the economy may be created to support the working women. It will be stimulus twice over.
Europe - See-Saw?
Eurozone is basking in a bit of sunshine this winter - good news flowing all around. The French are putting their house in order with labour reforms. There is a decent amount of growth and banks are more healthy than ever before. There are some weird signs though. The Greek and Portuguese bonds seem to be too cheap. With these indicators what can go wrong?
Not much this year it appears. Europe should perform well in first half and the worries may appear only in late 2018. The ECB and SNB have bought substantial amounts of corporate bonds. This is not a great sign if you ask me. In a recent podcast, Felix Zulauf highlighted this. I was struck by his assessment impact on future of bond markets such moves are making.
Impact on Politics
The response to the financial crisis of 2008 has left many befuddled. Mark Yusko, in his letter points to the very same issue - the actual behaviour of markets is at odds with the fundamentals. It is indeed. But aside from those issues, we must assess the other slow-moving forces this has unleashed - particularly in politics. Politics has become increasingly expensive because of this central bank policy.
That means we do not get the reform that is necessary. Thus, we have an enormous tax compliance process that is weighing the growth down. Yet, Democrats won't acknowledge that. Conversely, the Republican tax proposal does not simplify or ease that burden but complicates it even more.
What we also get are politicians who are increasingly out of touch with the citizens.
Coming War?
The combination of out-of-touch politicians, economic interests at loggerheads, economic and policy stagnation, distrust and fake news is a potent powder keg searching for a spark. My scenario for war now looks likely.
China's policy with One Belt One Road and lending-driven quasi-colonisation is also bound to create dissidence. The US and developed world will put pressure back on China by reducing demand for its factories which can service almost entire world's demand (maybe twice over) using robotics and automation. Automation, it is my belief, is the result of the prolonged low cost of capital. In that sense, China's communists will get a taste of Marx - Capital V Labour.
Add the uncoordinated US strategies in the Middle East, the fundamentalist strain of Islam and we have making of a world war. This Middle East angle de-escalated a bit after Iraqi victories against IS in Iraq and Syria. Yet, the threats continue. Iran may not be the problem area it appears now. The wildcard could come from Af-Pak area.
In Sum
We may be looking at an interesting year in 2018.

Deck Building Services in Yorktown, Virginia
Enjoy the Great Outdoors With a New Custom Deck!
A deck can make the mild months of summer much more enjoyable, whether you are hosting a BBQ, enjoying lunch with your family, or quietly listening to spring peepers in the evening.
Installing a custom deck is one of the best ways to add value and enjoyment to your home, and at Tidewater Custom Homes and Remodeling, this is what we do best! There are many deck builders out there in the Yorktown, VA area, but we specialize in custom decks, and our custom design expertly synchronize your home's design, its surroundings, your ideas, and your budget into a deck you'll love for years.
Furthermore, if you have an older deck, you may be noticing signs of wear, such as fading of color, mildew or mold, decay, or detachment. If this is the case you may want to consider repairs or a replacement deck, for safety, functionality and aesthetics' sake.
Replace Your Existing or Old Deck Today, Before It Collapses
According to the North American Deck and Railing Association, deck safety is an increasing concern.
"Between 2000 and 2006, there have been at least 30 deaths reported as a direct result of deck collapses and more than 75 percent of people on a deck when it collapses are injured or killed, illuminating just how important it is for homeowners to check their deck. There are 40 million decks in the U.S. that are over 20 years old. At a conservative 1 percent, that means 40,000 decks are currently in need of repair or replacement. Taking that estimate to 10 percent brings the total number of unsafe decks to 4 million."

2015 Ascension BJJ Championship, 26 before 26, absolute division, adrenaline dump, ascension, BJJ, brazilian jiu-jitsu, competition, female BJJ, grappling, judo, kesa gatame, middleweight, Ontario BJJ tournament, position before submission, takedowns for life, tani otoshi, tournaments, winning, wrasslin
So at the end of January I competed at the Ascension tournament in middleweight and at the absolute division (which is all weights at white belt). I had a lot of fun at the tournament and felt really that my confidence and assertiveness were much better than last time. I guess also I'm continuing to keep my 26 before 26 goal, which was to win a BJJ match. Making weight this time felt a little more taxing than last time, to be honest, even though I'm always within 3-4lbs of what I need to be at my normal weight. I always panic diet, every single time. I can't help it. I'm glad that I'm used to 'cutting' (in a minor way), since I felt fine when I got there, and I wasn't really even hungry. In fact, I don't really ever feel hungry in a strong way on a tournament day, though after I finish competing I generally just stuff my face forever. After Provincials I probably ate continually for a solid 45 minutes to an hour. I do pack a lot of food for tournaments, but to be honest, it's because I like to share with my teammates too, even if they're not competing and running a booth/generously making sure no one runs off with my stuff (shout out to Cory and The Gi Hive!).
This time, the ladies' white belt divisions were lucky, since we didn't have to wait until later in the day like the male white belts, so we got to start at around noon, and even better (and unfortunately, unusual for a BJJ tournament), we started on time.
Improving upon my last tournament, my first match was won by submission, namely an armlock from kesa gatame. I was really happy to win a match by submission. I really like traditional judo-style kesa gatame. It's a solid hold-down and there are a fair amount of options for the finish, and the transition to north south or back to regular side control isn't too difficult. We practice these in judo as the "holddown clock," which for me has really helped me position myself better, especially in terms of improving my pressure. I've found myself more and more getting the straight armlock from kesa gatame, and I think that's because I've really improved my positioning.
I lost my second match, but I feel ok about it, since I didn't get submitted and I only conceded points near the end. I'm happy about my (numerous) takedown attempts and I know I need to work on getting on top after the take down. I should have stayed tighter with the tani otoshi I caught on her, but I kept fighting hard. I ended up chilling out too long in bottom half guard, like in my other match at Provincials. She had her gi wound up under my nose but it wasn't really a choke at all, just a pain in the butt. If I had thought better, I would have probably figured that out first, since it restricted my movement. Jeff told me that I need to tighten up my wrestling and learn some more half guard sweeps. Last week Jeff showed me the Bernardo sweep which is from deep half, and then Cory (whom I mentioned earlier) helped me with some of the details when I practised it during advanced class. I feel better now that I'm concentrating more on sweeps.
Someone neglected to film my match in absolutes, and I'm not naming names, but you know, he's the worst and stuffbut it's ok I still like him, I guess…. I'm glad that I did absolutes in any case. Michelle asked if I would, since her division didn't have anyone in it, and of course I agreed to. She won against my above opponent (the second match), and then after one of my team-mates had a match, we faced each other. She dominated me for probably 2/3 of the match, staying on top, but I managed to sweep her and get on top then I worked as best I could. I felt like I was going at a frenetic pace, almost the same feeling as when you ride a bike down a huge hill and you don't know if you're going to be able to stop if there's a barrier. Maybe that's the adrenaline dump? I don't know. I took her back but didn't quite get the hook, and as the time wound down my hearing seemed to disappear, but I heard Jeff shouting something about time, and I tried to sink in the choke, but the buzzer went before she tapped. Though I trapped one of her arms, my hook was not deep enough for points, but I still felt the excitement of the match, even though I lost. I felt wild after. I wanted to go again, but that's that when it's single elimination. Some people after (namely a random white belt guy who called me "bro") told me that she tapped before the buzzer, but I didn't feel anything. I think maybe she hovered a little because I was giving it all I had. A close match is an exciting match, and I'm happy that so many people watched it and we both had a good time.
In the end, I received second place in my weight class, and third place in absolutes. I'm pretty happy with how things turned out, and I feel really confident about the next competition in March. I'm working on a post actually about my grappling confidence so hopefully I'll manage to finish it before then. There are a lot of things I did before the Ascension tournament that really helped me out, and I think other people have had the same problem that I do with assertiveness and confidence.
All in all, the Ascension Tournament is probably my favourite yet, and not just because I was far more successful in it. It was well-organised, ran on time, and everyone was friendly. I hope my next tournament is just as fun.
Em out

Helping Your Dog Through Fireworks and Noise Phobias
Starting from the beginning of October we have about 3 months of potential fireworks and dog fears that can be pretty tricky to navigate as a dog and a parent…
Even if you think your little one is ok with fireworks, a phobia can manifest itself at any time so it is best not to tempt fate and still keep your dog indoors if you can hear fireworks going off.
It's important to understand the psychology of fireworks and dog phobias so that you can empathise with how your dog might be feeling, it's a serious condition. And when we understand more – we can do more! Have you ever had someone dismiss your feelings with a "don't worry", "don't be silly now"? Doesn't it just make you feel worse? Like us, dogs will retreat into their anxieties and feel more alone if they are not understood. A dog will start to switch off to you if you do not approach with an energy of understanding or at least open receptiveness. It's tempting to try and talk our loved ones into a sense of safety but the threat of the noise is greater than anything you can say. It is your energy and approach which is going to be more useful to them than your words.
First thing, it is important to understand the link between how YOU feel about fireworks and how your dog reacts to them… Getting angry may be the worst thing you can do for either of you. It just reinforces to your dog that what they perceive is a real threat and that you fear it too. Anger is a negative emotion and is just another thing adding to an already problematic situation.
Many dogs are afraid of loud, sudden, unpredictable noises, not just thunderstorms and fireworks. If a dog is noise sensitive, it's very likely that these noises will be frightening to them too. The tips in this blog post can also help your highly sensitive dogs develop coping strategies.
Training tips for helping your dog cope with fears and phobias:
4. Create a calm environment in the house prior to fireworks or as night closes in if you are experiencing unpredictable bouts of fireworks. Have your dog's den permanently in place. Put on some soothing calm music or classical music. You can even purchase classical music that has been attuned to your dog's ears called Through A Dog's Ear. This activates their sense of hearing in a positive way and can diffuse the noise of fireworks. Their sense of touch can also be activated by giving them a soothing massage. Please read my article published in Animal Magazine and on my blog: Why We Should Be Massaging Our Dogs
You could use essential oils like lavender to help calm your dog or the spray Pet Remedy (although it doesn't smell that great for humans), spraying this on their beds. If using essential oils I would recommend the DoTerra range as you need to make sure the oils are dog friendly and uncontaminated and this is even more necessary if you are using the oil to massage them with. Not all oils are appropriate and take advice if you have a cat in the family as this option may be completely unsuitable for them. I would advise diluting oils as dog's sense of smell is so sensitive.
7. Some dogs are probably attracted to bathtubs and showers by the fact that bathrooms are often somewhat sound insulated, and bathbtubs and showers even more so.

Defence and security are activities which remain the sole responsibility of the States. However, as the European transport policy directly impacts the organisation of airspace, which is used by civil and military alike, the Single European Sky (SES) has a direct impact on the military and on its access to airspace. Consequently, the military is closely involved in European Air Traffic Management (ATM) and the full implementation of the SES.
This 4-day course provides an overview of the European ATM institutional framework and highlights the benefits of civil-military ATM cooperation at national and international levels.

From No. 1 draft pick to prison inmate: The Matt Bush story
Matt Bush was destined to be in a uniform. A brilliantly talented shortstop, Bush was selected by the San Diego Padres as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 amateur draft at 18 years old — one spot ahead of Justin Verlander.
For the Padres, Bush was the local boy and hometown hero. He went to Mission Bay High School, just 10 miles from PETCO Park.
"I'm sitting in English class, and I told the teacher, 'Watch, check out the Internet, I'm about to be the first overall draft pick,'" Bush said. "And then, bam, it happened that way just like that. The next thing you know, the news is coming to my school, and a few days later I'm coming to class, and my head coach says, 'What're you doing here? You don't need to be here.' Even my teachers, I'm coming to take my final, they said, 'You can go, you don't have to take this. You're good to go.'"
It's 10 years later, and Bush is indeed wearing a uniform — prison blues. As a boy he dreamed of wearing a number on his back, but DC# C07392 was not what he had in mind.
Bush's first arrest came two weeks after he was drafted on June 7, 2004. He was brought in on numerous charges stemming from an incident at a bar. His most recent arrest came eight years and three teams later, after he allegedly hit and ran over a Florida man, Tony Tufano, while driving drunk in March 2012.
I interviewed Bush at Hamilton Correctional Institution in Jasper, Fla., close to the Georgia line. He has been incarcerated since the spring of 2012 and our crew represented his first visitors.
Bush was tired and moving slowly when he showed up in the room selected for our chat. We conversed intimately in an old, exceptionally hot, minimally ventilated, out-of-service infirmary. The prison staff had neglected to alert Bush of our impending arrival, he said.
"They didn't even tell me you were coming," Bush told me before we turned on the cameras. "They just woke me up and brought me here."
The road Bush walks is littered with examples of numerous top athletes. What may appear to be a tragic waste of talent is often also a mind-boggling display of self-sabotage from which some have never recovered.
Bush isn't the first promising athlete to drink and drive. I played with an outfielder in the Detroit Tigers' system, Mike Darr. Mike was a supremely talented athlete and had a cannon for an arm, but he was legally drunk when he got in his car to head to spring training. He flipped his SUV across three lanes of highway and blasted through a fence, landing dramatically on a frontage road. He and his passenger, a longtime friend, were both killed.
Bush can be thankful that his incident wasn't fatal, but like Darr, two lives will never be the same.
Matt, now 28 years old and still a good-looking, olive-skinned, Southern California kid, sat across from me. Based on his athletic shape, I couldn't help but picture him on the mound at Tropicana Field hurling a 97 mile-per-hour fastball past a flailing major-league hitter.
I marveled at the juxtaposition of the man sitting across from me with my last memory of him — the two of us sharing the outfield in Port Charlotte, Florida. That day, while on a minor-league rehab assignment, I remember us waxing poetic about organic food during batting practice.
This would be a different conversation though. He was a prisoner, who never saw the big leagues and was anxious to share his story with the world.
Occasionally in spring training, a manager will give a player the gift of a heads-up on an impending day off. It's the ultimate sign of respect and a green light to relax or manage business or coordinate an activity. For example, players can plan fishing days, or for some, a leisurely afternoon sipping cold beer on the beach.
A day off for Matt Bush, though, was different than most players because most players don't have the alcohol dependency issue that plagues Bush. He recounted to me the story of the night that led him to prison.
"I remember the night before knowing that I wouldn't have to travel that day to Sarasota (the following day's game was against the Orioles)," he said. "So I let my roommate, Brandon Guyer, know that I really needed to run some errands."
Guyer had graciously let Bush borrow his car to take care of his business, not knowing that Bush did not possess a driver's license.
On his way to the mall to visit a Verizon store, Bush stopped at a gas station to get a beer.
"I planned to have one beer," he said. "But when I get there, I see that they don't sell liquor at the gas station. They had Four Lokos, a really big, strong, alcoholic energy drink. So, OK, I can just have one of these. That will be sufficient. So being in the car … you know … I'd hurry up and get rid of the evidence. Drink the beer, throw it away and move on."
Bush's destination was 45 minutes away. Already buzzed, he stopped again, and again, and again for drinks.
"I realized that I had almost no idea where I was, you know?" he recalls.
It didn't seem real. But it was, and I realized that at that point, my life was over. You're done, you're over with.
-- Matt Bush
Soon, Bush received a sign — one that many of us would take as a reminder that it was time to pull over and sober up. He smacked a pole with the side of Guyer's car.
"So the right side of Brandon's car is dented in really bad. And man, I felt so awful that I had to bring him back his brand new truck (in this condition). I was really, really scared to bring him back his car that way."
Bush kept going. He stopped at a strip club on his way back to the house to drink more. His brush with exotic dancers came and went, and he was off on the road again. The point of no return followed.
"I was speeding, passing cars, driving recklessly, and then I remember hitting the bike Mr. Tufano was driving. I can remember slightly nudging his back tire, which caused his bike to go out of control and I remember seeing him fly off the bike and I believe the bike shot under the car," Bush said. "It didn't seem real. But it was, and I realized that at that point, my life was over. You're done, you're over with."
He took off in the truck, fleeing the scene of the crime, leaving behind the man he nearly killed after he ran over his head. Panicking, Bush was too drunk to find his way home. Thankfully, flashing blue and red lights ended the possibility of any further collateral damage.
Bush was taken into custody, pleaded "no contest," and was ultimately sentenced to four years in prison. It was his third DUI. Today, having served half of his sentence, he fully acknowledges his alcoholism.
"You know, I'd have days where I'd go to the field to rehab from surgery and I'd have every intention of going back to my house, having a good meal, resting, being a professional and the next thing you know I'm stopping off and buying drinks and drinking without the intention of ever wanting to do it," he said. "I ended up drinking more and more after telling myself, 'I'm just going to have one or two drinks.' The next thing you know, I'm all the way drunk and I can't even remember how many I had. And that's when I knew, yeah, I am definitely. This isn't just a problem. I'm an alcoholic."
Bush finds himself at a crossroads. Self-medicating with addictive substances to cope with the pressures of being a star athlete is nothing new. Ken Caminiti once described the seductive call of cocaine and heroin in eerily similar terms to Bush's relationship with alcohol. The same year Matt Bush was drafted, Caminiti was found dead of an overdose.
While Bush recognizes his addiction, he also holds onto an elusive dream. After all, he's still young. He, like Darr and Caminiti before him, has experienced the incarceration chapter of his story. Upon his release, currently scheduled for May 2016, he'll be confronted with the inevitable allure to march into a gas station and select his drug, putting his and other lives at imminent risk.
But this story doesn't have to end with a funeral hymn. Another former No. 1 draft pick, Josh Hamilton, struggled with substance abuse and addiction issues before finally righting his life and becoming a productive major leaguer.
"He gave me hope when his story came out … my issues were alcohol," Bush said of Hamilton. "But it's the same. It's the same kind of battle."
Ultimately, this may be an unrealistic hope. I spoke with a current general manager who told me it was unlikely that Bush would be given the benefit of the doubt and an additional chance, despite the undeniable raw talent. That said, what did most GMs say when Hamilton was perceived as a washed-up drug addict? Either way, perhaps instead of looking to Hamilton, Bush could take a look at the career of former NBA player Chris Herren.
Drafted 33rd overall in the 1999 NBA draft by the Denver Nuggets, Herren found his career derailed due to a tragic battle with drug addiction and several related felonies. His struggles ruined his dreams of basketball superstardom, but after intensive rehab, he speaks across the country, sharing his story of addiction, self-sabotage and recovery. Matt Bush may have nearly destroyed the lives of two families, but he could use his platform to positively impact many others.
Before we sat in front of the cameras, and then a second time, Matt spoke to me of a dream he recently had in prison.
"The dream was, I was going to meet up with a team to play independent ball, and it was somewhere in California," he said. "It was right around game time and someone says, 'Hey, this is independent ball. I mean, guys are going to show up or they're not.'"
He's going to have to show up all right. If history is any indication, it's not his opportunity to play professional baseball on the line, it's his life.
"I want people to know that I'm very sorry for what had occurred," he said. "I really wish things had been a lot different. I would've made a lot better choices."

Conference Reports for NATAP
12th International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of HIV Therapy
Miami, FL April 13-15, 2011
Levels of Novel HIV Attachment Inhibitor With or Without Ritonavir
12th International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of HIV Therapy, April 13-15, 2011, Miami
Mark Mascolini
At various doses with or without ritonavir, the HIV attachment inhibitor BMS-663068 yielded adequate concentrations of BMS-626529, the active form of the drug, in single and multiple ascending-dose studies involving HIV-negative volunteers [1]. No serious complications or clinically relevant side effects or lab abnormalities could be attributed to the new drug.
In an open-label multiple-dose trial in HIV-positive people reported earlier this year, viral loads fell by a median of 1.69 log copies/mL after 8 days of BMS-663068 alone or with a ritonavir boost [2]. Median CD4 counts rose in all five treatment groups, but CD4 results varied widely in this small study. A phase 2b trial of BMS-663068 plus other antiretrovirals in treatment-experienced people is planned for 2011.
BMS-663068 binds to the gp120 protein on HIV and so blocks its attachment to CD4 cells. Median protein binding-adjusted 90% effective concentration is 9.6 ng/mL. Work to date indicates that once- or twice-daily dosing is feasible.
The single and multiple ascending-dose studies were double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that enrolled healthy 18- to 45-year-olds without HIV and with a body mass index of 18 to 30 kg/m(2). The single-dose study involved 88 people, while 40 enrolled in the multiple-dose study. Doses ranged from 20 to 1200 mg of BMS-663068 in an immediate-release or extended-release formulation with or without ritonavir.
Of the 88 volunteers in the ascending single-dose study, 66 were men, 22 were women, and 47 (53%) were Caucasian. Age averaged 30 years and ranged from 18 to 45. Weight ranged from 59.2 to 100.7 kg and body mass index from 19.1 to 29.9 kg/m(2).
BMS-663068 plasma concentrations were generally below the 1-ng/mL limit of quantitation, a result indicating rapid conversion to the active drug, BMS-626529, which had an approximate 1-hour time to maximum concentration. Maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) increased more than dose-proportionally from 20 to 1000 mg. Ritonavir raised BMS-626529 AUC about 1.8-fold. Less than 4% of BMS-626529 was recovered in urine.
No one stopped treatment because of adverse events. Viral meningitis, the only serious adverse event, was judged not related to study drugs. Nausea and headache were the most frequent side effects, and both became more frequent at higher doses.
The 10-day multiple ascending dose study had 8 patients in each of five panels, 6 randomized to BMS-663068 and 2 to placebo. The five doses were (1) 100 mg immediate-release BMS-663068 every 8 hours, (2) 200 mg of immediate-release BMS-663068 every 8 hours, (3) 600 mg of extended-release BMS-663068 plus 100 mg of ritonavir every 12 hours, (4) 1200 mg of extended-release BMS-663068 every 12 hours, and (5) 1200 mg of extended-release BMS-663068 plus 100 mg of ritonavir every 12 hours.
Median BMS-626529 time to maximum concentration in the multiple ascending-dose study ranged from 1.5 to 2.0 hours with the immediate-release formulation and from 4 to 5 hours with the extended-release formulation. Average BMS-626529 plasma terminal half-life on day 10 ranged from 3.2 to 4.5 hours with the immediate-release formulation and from 7 to 14 hours with the extended-release formulation, with or without ritonavir.
As in the multiple-dose study, BMS-663068 metabolized rapidly to the active drug, BMS-626529, after multiple immediate-release or extended-release doses. Volunteers generally reached steady-state levels of BMS-626529 on day 2 or 3.
One person taking 600 mg of extended-release BMS-663068 plus ritonavir dropped out because of rash. Pruritus (itching), nausea, headache, flatulence (gas), and rash proved the most common complaints in the multiple-dose study. In the monotherapy trial of BMS-663068 in people with HIV, rash affected 8 of 50 (16%) [2]. In the ascending-dose studies, researchers recorded no clinically relevant effects on electrocardiograms, lab values, vital signs, or physical exams.
