We love pinning our favorite kitchens to our Pinterest board, Yummy Kitchens, and the latest pin was Cameron Diaz's New York City apartment (interior design by Kelly Wearstler). As her chic pad goes viral after being featured in Elle Decor's latest issue, I thought, why not jump on the bandwagon? The entire apartment has a luxe-meets-bravura modern vibe, full of rich fabrics and amazing metallic finishes, like this stunning reflective backsplash.
White kitchens still seem to rule and they are everywhere you look, so seeing the emerald green cabinets and unlacquered brass counters and backsplash were refreshing to see.
It's fun to see people experimenting with metals besides stainless steel. This clever use of copper pipes adds great shine, patina and a dash of steampunk style to this kitchen.
I'm also digging the contrast of black and white and black and gray in today's kitchens, and really love "the inky blue black" of these cabinets. This renovation on Manhattan Nest left me gobsmacked. Even more shocking, it was completed on a budget of $1230.74. That is just ridiculously inspiring, isn't it?
All of the new tile patterns out there these days offer endless possibilities for unique backsplashes. A lack of upper cabinets and shelves allows these horizontal stripes to stun and the kitchen to appear very open and airy.
It may seem tough to sacrifice upper cabinets for clear wall space or open shelving and it's a personal choice. However, if you really pare down your china, glassware and cookware to the bare essentials, you may just find you have room (do you ever really use that "World's Best Boss" coffee mug, or that extra set of china?). One idea I love is this plate rack. It creates an organized, beautiful and functional way to stash china within reach while keeping things open. One tip to those considering such a move or open shelving – you're going to have to dust more, so keep that in mind.
What kind of kitchens are you finding yummy today? Please let us know in the comments section, and/or add "#yummykitchens" to your kitchen pins so that we can all find them with ease!

Skewed Crossing, Outline
The Skewed Crossing sign may be used at a skewed highway-rail grade crossing to warn drivers that the railroad tracks are not perpendicular to the highway. If the Skewed Crossing sign is used, the symbol should show the direction of the crossing (near left to far right as shown in Figure 8B-5, or the mirror image if the track goes from far left to near right). If the Skewed Crossing sign is used where the angle of the crossing is significantly different than 45 degrees, the symbol should show the approximate angle of the crossing.

MacMillan created The Song of the Earth soon after Romeo and Juliet, his first three-act ballet. He had long been hoping to choreograph a work to Mahler's symphonic song cycle, but the Royal Opera House board had rejected his proposal in 1959. When he tried again, after the huge success of Romeo and Juliet, he was told that Mahler was a composer whose music was unsuitable for ballet.
MacMillan offered his idea to the Stuttgart Ballet instead. His old friend John Cranko, director of the company since 1961, had extended an open invitation for him to visit Stuttgart and choreograph whatever he wanted. Cranko agreed to The Song of the Earth as part of a triple bill with MacMillan's Danses Concertantes and a new work, Opus 1, by Cranko himself. He gave MacMillan first choice of the dancers he wanted to cast.
Since Das Lied von der Erde would be sung in German, the Stuttgart audience would understand the words of the poems Mahler had set to music and see their visual connections in the choreography. The text of the songs is taken from Chinese poems of the eighth century T'ang dynasty, freely translated into German. They are bitter-sweet reflections on human joys, concluding with a farewell to the world: Mahler added four lines to the final verses, ending with the repeated word 'Ewig' – 'Forever'.
MacMillan described the theme of his ballet succinctly: 'A man and a woman; death takes the man; they both return to her and at the end of the ballet, we find that in death there is the promise of renewal.' The central couple are part of a group of young people who are blissfully unaware of their own mortality. Among them is a man with a colourless half-mask over his face: he is Der Ewige – the Eternal One. In the English translation he is the Messenger of Death, which lends him a more sinister aspect. MacMillan liked to cast a slight young dancer in the role, apparently no more menacing than his companions, except that he knows what they choose to ignore. (Some interpreters, however, perform the Messenger as though he were Death itself.)
The Messenger shadows the leading man at the start of the ballet, and takes part in the men's horseplay. He will be present, however briefly, by the end of every song. (MacMillan added him in the fourth song in 1990.) The leading woman appears in the contemplative second song, Autumn Solitude, in which the words reveal her loneliness, her fear of death and her longing for a companion. She is the MacMillan 'outsider', sensing that she does not belong to the light-hearted group who amuse themselves during the songs that follow. She finds a lover in a long pas de deux, only to lose him to death. In her final solo, she has to reach an acceptance of her loss, the return of her isolation and the inevitability of death. As she resigns herself to a fate beyond her control, the Messenger returns with the man, who is now wearing a white half-mask symbolising death. All three link hands and step forward together in slow motion, as if into eternity. The curtain falls on their still-pacing figures.
MacMillan's choreography for The Song of the Earth was different from anything he had devised before. It was his long-considered response to Mahler's music and the images in the translated Chinese poetry. He introduced orientalisms amid the balletic pointework, asking the dancers to slide flat-footedly, tilt their torsos and bend their arms at the elbows and wrists as if adjusting long flowing sleeves or picking flowers. In the song Of Youth, which describes a porcelain pavilion reflected in a pool, the women kneel demurely as if by water, then later adopt upside-down positions.
Curving calligraphic shapes for the women are contrasted with weightier moves for the roistering men and stark lines and angles in the Farewell pas de deux. MacMillan may have been influenced by Antony Tudor's expressionist choreography in Dark Elegies, to Mahler's Kindertotenlieder, and by Martha Graham's modernism. Graham's work had been seen in London when her company visited in 1954 and 1963, but the Stuttgart dancers on whom Song of the Earth was created had no experience of her technique: for them, MacMillan's inventions were totally unfamiliar. German dance critics likened the choreography for Das Lied to Viennese Jugendstil or art nouveau, the period in which Mahler was composing his music.
By the time of the premiere, the designs had nothing to do with decorative art nouveau. Georgiadis's original costumes had been made in chiffon, with floating sleeves. He and MacMillan scrapped them after the dress rehearsal and asked the Stuttgart wardrobe staff to dye simple tunics, T-shirts and tights in bluey-green and purple shades. Der Ewige was in dark grey with a flesh-coloured half-mask. The ballet was given against a plain cyclorama, its colour changing through blues to pale green-yellow.
Royal Opera House board members who had objected to a ballet to Mahler's music gave in after critics who had seen Das Lied in Stuttgart wrote glowing reviews, urging the Royal Ballet to acquire it. The Royal Ballet first performed it in May 1966, with Marcia Haydée as a guest, Donald MacLeary as the man and Anthony Dowell as the Messenger of Death. Georgiadis changed the colour scheme to monochrome: the cyclorama varies from grey to black, the cast are dressed in shades of grey, the leading woman in white, the Messenger in black. The Stuttgart Ballet retains the original designs and has been performing Das Lied von der Erde, along with MacMillan's Requiem, in a programme celebrating what would have been the choreographer's 80th birthday.

The Rite of Acceptance for child catechumens parallels the rite for adults somewhat closely. One exception is that it doesn't list the musical choices given in RCIA 48ff. Let's read the rubrics
262. The priest or deacon, wearing an alb or surplice with stole, comes to the place where the children are waiting with their parents or guardians or, alternatively, with their sponsors.
In RCIA 48, a psalm or song is mentioned. Not here, but I wouldn't see why it wouldn't be sung.
263. The celebrant and the community present greet the children and their parents or sponsors, pointing out the joy and happiness of the Church at their presence. Next he invites the children and their parents or sponsors to come forward and stand before him.
No Psalm 63 here, either, as we saw in RCIA 49.
The opening dialogue (RCIA 264) is adapted in an expected way over the adult rite in RCIA 50. The celebrant is instructed to ask these or other questions that elicit a response along this theme:
What do you want to become?
A Christian.
Why do you want to become a Christian?
Because I believe in Christ.
What do you gain by believing in Christ?
Eternal life.
The celebrant concludes this opening dialogue with a brief catechesis, suited to the children's age and circumstances, on the step they are taking. He may use these or similar words and may ask the children, as a sign of their assent, to repeat the final quotation from the words of Christ.
Since you already believe in Christ and want us to prepare you for baptism, we welcome you joyfully into our Christian family, where you will come to know Christ better day by day. Together with us you will try to live as children of God, for our Lord has taught us: "Love God with all your heart and love one another as I have loved you."
This "brief catechesis" has its parallel in RCIA 52, the Candidates' First Acceptance of the Gospel." Indeed, the rite provides for a vocal acceptance by the option of inviting the children to repeat the words of Jesus.
Some Catholics are offended by the apparent dumbing down of rites for children. Let's keep in mind the initial urge for adaptation is not for the liturgy to be in the language of children for its adult hearers, nor are thing omitted so the priest can get to the next appointment, or that musician ministers can't be bothered with playing for children. The instruction of the previous sections (251-261) is all about the accommodation and expression of the faith of children in an appropriate way that respects the liturgical intent, the community's role, and the social capability of young people.
The older the catechumens, the more like the adult rites these adaptations should look. In fact, I'd say adolescents should be welcomed with the adult rite, or even among the adult inquirers.
As for the music, in most First World cultures (and others, too, I suspect) music might serve as a focus of participation and familiarity for children. If a child catechumenate is celebrating a separate Rite of Acceptance, what better music ministry could be offered than that of young people, of peers. RCIA 262-63 don't list musical choices, but RCIA 48-49 do. I'd go with the form of the adult rite on that score.
One last comment: I do like the adapted dialogue here. It's a clear instance in which simple and direct language is an improvement over a fussy vernacular. Not that the dialogue in RCIA 50 was so wordy: it did mention the commitment to the Church, which is covered by the "brief catechesis of #264.
Other comments, observations?

From NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli
HURON, SD -- Saying it "really all does come down to next Tuesday," Hillary Clinton said that the enthusiasm she's seen among South Dakotans proves that she was right to fight to the bitter end of the campaign calendar.
"A lot of folks said, 'Well, you know, by the time we get to South Dakota and Montana, people are going to be tired of it,'" Clinton said, again quoting unnamed skeptics. "Well, I don't know what they're talking about... I think there is an enormous amount of enthusiasm for this election here in South Dakota, and it's because you're taking our measure and you're trying to decide who you can count on to be your president."
Clinton, who said that politics "can get either silly or complicated," said this nomination "really all does come down to next Tuesday," and pointed to the fact that voters across America have ignored pundits who have called the race over.
"This is the closest election we've had in a really long time," she said. "They've been trying to tell me to stop running since January. Every time they say it, people rebuke it, and keep voting for me. That's what I hope will happen here in South Dakota."
Clinton also argued that she'd be a stronger candidate against McCain, whom she called a "formidable candidate." And for the second day in a row, also she alluded to her travels to Iraq and Afghanistan with him.
"He's a friend of mine," she said. "He is someone whose service to our country I deeply honor... But he is offering the wrong ideas for America."
The rally here was held indoors because of rain. Only some of the crowd was able to fit into the meeting hall where she spoke, and Clinton later greeted some of the overflow outside. "We couldn't get everybody in here," she told the audience. "But I want to take credit for the rain, 'cause I know that's something that everybody is happy to see."

Wisdom Wednesday – Review Your Information
As the 1940 Census approaches, it seems like everyone is gearing up and counting down the days, hours, and minutes until the release. Are you counting down? Are you ready for the release? Have you taken some time recently to go back through your family's information to make sure you are prepared?
Take an hour (or more) to go back through your documents and notes. Reviewing our research notes, plans, and records, from time to time, gives us a new perspective. We see facts with fresh eyes and often pick up on details we missed before or that didn't seem to apply. How often have you gone back to an ancestor's records and said to yourself, "wow I can't believe I missed that detail when I first looked at this!" I think all of us have done that at some point.
You have about 18 days left to prepare. So what are you waiting for? Pull out those paper records, look at your digital records, examine your family tree and pull all that together in your Sort Your Story software. Let us know if you found something important you missed before in the comments below.

To be more precise, it's a vote against yourself as long as you're making less than $250,000 a year, which includes about 99% of us. The Republicans have repeatedly turned against middle-class and low-income Americans in their legislative proposals over the past two years. Here are some of the sordid details.
1. Jobs
In 2011 Republicans killed a jobs bill that was supported by two-thirds of the public. At about the same time, they devised a new action that would support outsourcing of jobs and anti-union efforts. House Resolution 2587 was apparently written in response to Boeing's attempt to relocate its production facility because of strike threats. In the words of the resolution, "The National Labor Relations Board...shall have no power to order an employer...to rescind any relocation, transfer, subcontracting, outsourcing, or other change.."
2. Housing
In March of 2011 the FHA Refinance Program Termination Act was passed by the House. The bill proposed to stop the funding allocated for people who owe more on their mortgages than the value of their homes. Thus the victims of the banking collapse would not get the relief promised by the Refinance Act. The Republican bill, according to Democratic Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, would have the effect of "terminating programs that will literally help people stay in their homes."
3. Taxes
Republicans fought the proposed middle-class tax cut because it would only apply to the first quarter-million of income. Then, in an outrageous show of circumlocution, they voted for the "Job Protection and Recession Prevention Act of 2012" to extend the tax cuts for the rich.
They also found time to prepare a "flat tax" proposal that, in their own words, "protects taxpayers by creating a fairer, simpler, flatter tax code for individuals and families." In reality, a flat tax would cut taxes for the richest 5% while raising taxes for everyone else.
4. Health Care
No other middle class program has been attacked as much as health care. Republicans have tried more than thirty times to repeal Obamacare, and to cut related initiatives. Here are some of the attempts:
- (a) January, 2011: The House passes a repeal of the Health Care Law Act. Republicans officially called the resolution "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act, even though, according to the Huffington Post, the effect on jobs would be small, impacting mostly "people who no longer have to work, or can downshift to less demanding employment, because insurance will be available outside the job."
- (b) April, 2011: The House voted to repeal the Prevention and Public Health Fund, which was used to "fight obesity, curb tobacco use, increase access to preventive care services, as well as to help state and local government respond to public health threats and outbreaks."
- (c) March, 2012: With another euphemistic title, "Protecting Access to Healthcare," the House voted to deny punitive damages to any victim of a faulty medical product (which was approved by the FDA). According to the Congressional Budget Office, the resolution "would impose limits on medical malpractice litigation in state and federal courts by capping awards and attorney fees.."
- (d) May, 2012: The House voted to replace military budget cuts with cutbacks to Medicaid and the food stamp program.
5. Environment
With a series of resolutions passed in 2011, the House voted to amend (weaken) the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the safeguards against offshore drilling.
It doesn't end there...
In the last two years Republicans rejected a bill to disclose information about big campaign donors. They disrupted the routine process of increasing the debt ceiling, thus triggering the first-ever downgrading of the U.S. credit rating. They found time to obstruct other bills that conflicted with their 'austerity' mentality: a Pay Equity Bill that would have provided greater pay equality for women; a bill to limit student loan rates; a transportation bill that would fund road repairs and mass transit.
While dismantling the protections provided by government, Republicans support the subsidies and tax breaks for the rich that could easily pay off the nation's deficit. They choose to impose austerity measures rather than address greed and corruption in the financial industry.
A vote for Republicans will continue the attack on the rest of us.

Introducing Bill Nye the Robot Guy!
This week's episode of Dancing With the Stars featured a plethora of Hollywood-themed performances, but it was Bill Nye's dance that really stole the spotlight. After a severe knee injury in last week's performance, our favorite science guy did not let this suffering stop him from shaking his groove thing in Monday's episode of DWTS.
Although his dancing pro partner Tyne Stecklein created a clever robot-themed dance to hide Nye's limited mobility, America's lack of votes combined with the judged low scores were not enough to save him. Tonight we were backstage with Nye and the rest of the DWTS cast to find out their reactions to the heartbreaking elimination.
NEWS: Bill Nye injured during Dancing With the Stars performance
When asked to reflect on his time on the dancing competition, Nye says that although he is disappointed, he is thrilled to have had this opportunity. "I'm going to miss this, it was really cool and exciting. It was a thrill and the team was just fantastic," he exclusively tells E!.
Regardless of their early elimination, Stecklein says that she is incredibly proud of her partner's work this season and his determination to dance. "Obviously he's a very intelligent guy so I knew that he wouldn't push it if he shouldn't." She explains, "With the brace, there really wasn't a way to injure it any worse because it holds it still. I'm just really proud of him for going back out there and giving it a try."
The science star says that although this week's performance was "a blast" he understands why he was sent home. "We could have probably gone one more week but we would have run out of ways to dance. There were all these calculations like could we just do contemporary? But sooner or later I would have to bend my knee and that was a concern. I'd like to think that the audience realized that and the judges realized that."

Many of Nye's DWTS co-stars expressed their sadness upon seeing that America's beloved science teacher will not be returning to the competition next week. Elizabeth Berkley admires Nye's "incredible attitude," while Glee star Amber Riley revealed that she was proud that "he didn't give up" despite his injury.
Jack Osbourne tells us, "Bill is a trooper, I mean that guy came out and he performed to the best of his ability and he did a great job. It was entertaining and it was fun and it was sad to see him go. I'm proud to say that on more than a few occasions I've had some science conversations with Bill. We talked about all sorts of aerospace stuff, it was great."
While Osbourne and some of the other cast members bonded with Nye over a love of science, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi tells us that she was simply focused on figuring out what he was saying! "He definitely uses big words and sometimes I have no idea what he is saying but he's a great guy," the former Jersey Shore star says.

Automatic pre-translation
When you upload a document into Translator Toolkit, you can select a translation memory. If you select a translation memory, it's used to automatically pre-translate your document, which helps save you time.
- First, your document is divided into segments. Each segment is usually a sentence, header, or bullet.
- For each segment, Translator Toolkit searches your selected translation memory for translation matches.
- If any matches exist, the best match is used to translate the segment.
- If no matches exist, a machine translation is used for that segment.
Note: If you don't want to use machine translations, you can pre-fill segments with source text. Here's how:
- Go to Translator Toolkit.
- At the top right, click the settings icon > Settings.
- Click the Editing tab.
- Select "Pre-fill with source text instead of machine translation.
You can learn about the pre-translation of your document by viewing your Translation Statistics. Open your document in Translator Toolkit editor, then go to File > Statistics.
Here are the statistics you'll see:
- In-context translation: The number of words pre-translated using 100% matches and matching context from the translation memory. Matching context includes the segments preceding and following the word.
- 100% TM matches: The number of words pre-translated using perfect matches from the translation memory.
- 'High fuzzy' matches: The number of words pre-translated using near-perfect matches from the translation memory.
- Machine translation: The number of words machine-translated.
- Repeated text: The number of words that could not be translated from the translation memory nor machine translation.
Note: Statistics do not change as you translate your document. These numbers only describe the pre-translation of your document when it's uploaded.

Get Gorge-ous Cycle Challenge
Get Gorge-ous Cycle Challenge
In 2009, Sally Pearson, Jane Chapman and Sue Hawkins of Bristol CTC directly encouraged, trained and supported 80 cyclists to go way beyond their previous cycling achievements. Between them they organised, administered and led 82 rides over a six-month period.
The 'Get Gorge-ous Cycle Challenge' aimed to encourage people out on their bikes on a regular basis to improve their fitness and well-being. The 'challenge' was to do a series of rides, starting from 5 miles in length and building up to a 50-mile ride from Bristol to Cheddar, up the Gorge and back to Bristol in June 2009.
Many of the participants were either nervous cyclists, or new to cycling. 80 riders completed the challenge and of these 60 have joined the CTC and these and more have continued to cycle since.
The high level of completion, from first ride through the training rides to the challenge is testament to the encouragement and enjoyment that was provided. These fantastic ladies have made a huge impact on cycling in Bristol over the past year with their 'Get Gorge-ous Cycle Challenge'.

Yeah, we're a pretty spoiled bunch these days. Smartphones and tablet computers allow us to catch real-time video wherever we are. It wasn't so easy back in 1986. If life, the universe, and everything decided that two of your favorite teams just had to play on the same night, you had some big decisions to make. And if that involved keeping tabs on the Mets during Game 7 of the 1986 World Series while you were at the Meadowlands for Monday Night Football with the Giants, sucks to be you, pal.
But wait! For one man, this was not some impossible dream. For Drunk TV-Rigging Fan, it was a simple three-step process to glory. First, haul your portable television however many miles from your home to your seat inside Giants Stadium. Next – and this is the critical part – affix the hell out of that TV to the steel railing with about 100 yards of packing tape. Third, consume copious amounts of alcohol. From there, it's just sit back, enjoy the game(s), and wait for NJN Public Television to come find you.

(visited by Joseph Kerski)
15-Jan-2007 -- As I was en route to co-teach a Geographic Information Systems course for Mining and Petroleum industry professionals at Mesa State College in Grand Junction, Colorado, a confluence visit seemed like the perfect way to begin the trip. I left snowbound Denver at 8am, and by 11:30am, I had exited Interstate Highway 70 at Rifle to follow Colorado State Highway 13 north. Immediately, the road became quite icy and I had to proceed with extreme caution. However, the sun was blazing over a clear blue sky, and the surroundings were quintessential Colorado beauty. This is Piceance Basin country, a land of mesas, buttes, and canyons. Under it all lies one of the world's largest reserves of natural gas and oil shale, and the area is booming with development. Fortunately, near the confluence site, things look just as they have for the past two generations. Let's hope it lasts.
Just before rounding the last curve into the town of Meeker, I turned west on Rio Blanco County Road 33. I overshot County Road 67 and doubled back, taking care not to get stuck in the snow. I proceeded south up a long slope, when suddenly, the plowed section of road ended with a fork to the left, uphill, and to the right, steeply downhill. The right fork looked too steep and hence I bore left. I realized it was a driveway but it was too late to turn back. After about 100 feet, the vehicle became mired in snow. I rocked back and forth to no avail. I opened the door and was dismayed to find that I was buried up to the bottom of the door in about 2 feet of winter wonderland. I needed to get to my workshop, and besides, I was blocking the driveway of whoever lived here. After what seemed like an eternity, but was probably only 5 minutes, I was able to move forward and reach the house about 600 feet ahead. The ranch house was patrolled by the three dogs described in the previous narrative, but I sent them my greetings, telling them I meant no harm. I knocked and there was nobody home. I was able to gingerly turn the vehicle around without becoming stuck again, and proceeded very cautiously back down the driveway to the plowed road. I parked after the cattle guard and decided to set out, with a distance of 1500 meters to the west southwest indicated on the GPS. After only a few feet, I slipped on the cattle guard and received a nasty bruise.
My trials were nothing like those experienced by other adventurers, confluence or otherwise, and therefore I counted my blessings. In all directions were postcard Colorado views, complete with snow, blue sky, and deer tracks. I hiked down the road, across a valley, to some ranch buildings. I crossed one fence and made a beeline for the confluence. It was fairly slow going in the deep snow, but I was heavily bundled against the cold. I crossed two gullies and one more fence; the snow becoming deeper as I approached the far line of hills. After nearly an hour, I was nearly up to my waist in the descent of the last gully, but soon after, wound steadily toward the confluence, as my tracks in the photo show.
I reached the confluence just after 2pm local time. The confluence lies on ground sloping about 5 degrees to the north-northeast. I saw no people during my entire trek. The view of the confluence is wonderful, with the greatest vista off to the north, toward a basin called Powell Park. The temperature was 10 F (-12 C). Toward the end of photographing the site, my feet started to freeze, and I made haste to depart. I had been to 40 North numerous times, in California, Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. I had been to 108 West a few times as well, in Montana and here in Colorado, just 1 degree south of my present position.
My track back was clearly evident in the snow, and so I turned off my GPS receiver. It was a bit easier hiking back downhill. As I neared the outbuildings, I spotted a herd of about 8 deer. I took care this time crossing the cattle guard, reaching the vehicle at 3pm for a total hiking time of 2 hours, 15 minutes. I drove out the way I came in with no further incident, again taking extreme care not to become stuck in the snow. This was indeed a perfect way to begin the week of GIS and GPS training!

Unknown "Structures" Not Tugging on the Universe After All?Publication: National Geographic News Date: January 20, 2012 View Article
Mysterious, unseen structures on the outskirts of creation most likely aren't tugging on our universe, according to a new study. The paper reexamines "dark flow"— an unusual, one-way motion of matter —using measurements of supernovae and the existing laws of physics.
In 2008, a team of scientists took measurements of hundreds of galaxy clusters and calculated that everything in the visible universe—and likely beyond—is flowing at 2 million miles (3.2 million kilometers) an hour in the same direction.
The data couldn't be explained by the distribution of matter in the known universe, so the scientists suggested that chunks of matter had been pushed out shortly after the big bang, and their gravity is now pulling on everything around us.

Golden Rum Cake from the Booze Cakes Cookbook
What would the holiday season be without desserts? And booze? Fortunately, the sassy ladies behind the spirited cookbook Booze Cakes have got ya covered. Authors Krystina Castella and Terry Lee Stone have created the ultimate fun baking book with over 100 bodacious, boozy confections.
The book is divided into four sections:
1. Classic Booze Cakes such as English Trifle and Tipsy Tiramisu.
2. Cocktail Cakes such as Pumpkin Martini Cakes and Tequila Sunrise Cake.
3. Cake Shots including Rum & Coke and Screwdriver Shots.
4. Cakes with a Twist such as Black Jack Praline Cake and Rosemary Limoncello Cake.
Castella and Stone are girls who want to have fun, and they want you to have fun too. That's why they include helpful icons for special occasion cakes and a cheeky "Booze Meter" that rates cakes as "Lightweight," "Feeling It," or "Totally Tipsy." (In case you're wondering, I picked a "Totally Tipsy" cake.)
In the midst of all this merriment, Castella and Stone actually teach you about baking with alcohol and share quirky anecdotes and historical facts. Did you know ancient Egyptians drank beer? Or that booze doesn't simply evaporate in the oven? Or that you should never attempt to use a Kitchen-Aid mixer while downing rum?
Perhaps their best piece of advice is this: Relax and have fun.
Golden Rum Cake
Makes 10 servings
Booze Meter: Totally Tipsy
Printable recipe.
Everyone needs a good "visiting cake" during the holidays -- easy-to-make, portable, delicious -- and this one is yours. It's moist, buttery, and mildly sweet, and pairs perfectly with a cup of tea of coffee. Or a shot of rum.
Golden Rum Cake:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup dark rum
Golden Rum Glaze:
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. grease and flour a 9- or 10-inch Bundt or tube cake pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
3. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and slat. In another bowl, combine milk vanilla, and rum. Beat flour mixture and milk mixture into the butter in three alternation additions. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake 1 hour, or until golden brown.
4. For the glaze: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in sugar and 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil; cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in rum.
5. Place cake on a serving platter. Slowly pour glaze over top and sides until completely absorbed. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
In full disclosure, Booze Cakes is published by Quirk Books, the same publisher of my books, Recipes Every Man Should Know and The Encyclopedia of Sandwiches. I wrote this post of my own accord and was not compensated for doing so. I just love the book.

Cake and booze are my two favourite food groups! My family will back me up on this claim (as I sing to the Christmas cakes each week as I douse them with more brandy).
I was just thinking about you today, as I was testing out some potential Christmas cookie recipes. I can't believe we're at Thanksgiving already-yikes.

OMG... so I probably have an Original recipe for this rum cake from the late 70's-early 80's. These cakes were ALL the rage. There was a Harvey Wallbanger cake that we used to make all the time - it used orange cake mix. WOW ... totally brought back memories of college and when I was first married!

I see that a lot of the Hot Network Questions in the sidebar aren't in areas that I'm even remotely interested in.
How about we show Hot Network Questions differently to each viewer based on the sites they participate in?
I don't mean eliminate all questions that are on sites they don't participate in, but just put a weighting factor in there based on their participation in those sites, so that the more interesting (to them) questions are more likely to be seen. Sites related to their sites of activity would get more weight than those completely unrelated, so for example, if you had a lot of Stack Overflow activity, there would be a higher weighting for Code Review than for Seasoned Advice (though I still see cooking as a programming exercise).

MMS chief hopes next president, Congress won't reinstate OCS bans
US Minerals Management Service Director Randall B. Luthi said on Dec. 9 that he hopes the Obama administration and Congress seriously consider expanding opportunities on the US Outer Continental Shelf.
Acknowledging that he will have no direct influence after Jan. 20, US Minerals Management Service Director Randall B. Luthi said on Dec. 9 that he hopes the Obama administration and Congress seriously consider expanded opportunities on the US Outer Continental Shelf.
"We have given the new administration a head-start with this new five-year OCS leasing program" which US Interior Secretary Dirk A. Kempthorne announced on July 30, Luthi told members of MMS's OCS Policy Committee as it met in Herndon, Va., outside Washington.
"I would ask the incoming president and Congress not to rush to reimpose moratoriums. Once they are in place, they are very hard to remove," he added.
Luthi said that he hopes to have a draft proposed OCS plan for the 2010-15 period completed by early January but emphasized it would be at least two more years before it became final. This will give coastal states and communities, energy producers and consumers, environmental organizations and other groups ample time to supply input, he explained.
The new plan also will consider energy production beyond oil and gas but recognizes that traditional fuels will be needed as alternatives are developed, Luthi said. "We could provide a bridge to renewables with traditional resources. When we release the draft proposed plan in January, it will ask questions about buffer zones, environmental sensitivities and other issues," he suggested.
Luthi said that he also hopes MMS can complete a revenue sharing plan with Gulf Coast states required under the 2006 Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act by March 31, and a GOMESA-mandated plan for sharing revenue from existing federal offshore leases starting in 2017 by September.
'A real deadline'
"You've all read in your newspapers about so-called midnight regulations from outgoing presidential administrations. That's probably true to some extent. But it's also true that no one is as efficient as when they face a deadline, and Jan. 20 is a real deadline. There are people in MMS who would like to finish what they've been working on," Luthi said.
OCS Policy Committee Chairman Victor G. Carillo said that the group was meeting under very different circumstances from its previous session in March. Crude oil prices hit $145/bbl in early July, gasoline cost more than $4/gal, and there were calls for both more conservation and efficiency and more production of domestic energy resources, he said.
US President George W. Bush withdrew presidential OCS leasing bans on July 14 and Congress allowed other remaining moratoriums to expire on Sept. 30, he continued. "We then experienced a remarkable stock and financial market meltdown and growing recession. We also have seen a significant drop in oil and gas prices. Finally, we witnessed a historic presidential election in November and are waiting to see where the US Department of the Interior heads under the Obama administration," said Carillo, who also is director of the Texas Railroad Commission's Oil and Gas Division.
A two-day workshop a week earlier in Williamsburg, Va., gave MMS an opportunity to hear from stakeholders about a possible lease sale off that state's coast in 2011, Luthi told reporters following his address. "If you're going to make this work, it's all about partnerships with the states, the industry, and environmental and tourism groups," he maintained.
Federal policymakers also should not overlook the fact that MMS and the US Bureau of Land Management, DOI's primary federal resource management agencies, generate federal revenue second only to the US Internal Revenue Service, Luthi continued. "It takes years to plan a sale. They should give the five-year planning process a chance to work and not be in a rush to reimpose moratoriums until the revenue potential has been considered," he said.

Curried Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
Soooo, it turns out that Austin apparently has freezing winter days too.
Who knew?!?
Ok ok, I may have noticed a slight dip in the month-long forecast for our stay here when we were driving away from winter in Kansas city. But hey, if a "dip" here means just pulling on a pea coat (vs. my usual puffy-furry-down-lined-marshmallowness at home), walking around town in a crisp breeze (vs. trudging through snow and negative windchills) for just a few days (vs. what I'm pretty sure feels like decades at a time at home)…I'LL TAKE IT.
Hey, I'll even make a warm and comforting curried chicken and wild rice soup to celebrate. ;)
Ok ok, I'll stop rubbing it in. I'm well aware that I'm heading back to the land of freeze-your-toes-off arctic blasts in three days, so I'll be back to seriously needing a soup like this soon. But in the meantime, it also warmed us up nicely down here in Texas.
And I must say, at this point in the winter when I've already made my way through all of my traditional soups, it was kind of nice to switch things up a bit with a curried take on a classic — chicken and wild rice soup.
I have mentioned on here before that I'm (surprisingly) fairly new to the curried world. For basically my entire twenties, some mystery ingredient in the magic potion that is curry used to upset my stomach big time. I tried for years without success to pinpoint the culprit spice, and was about to just give up and decide that curry was going to hate me for the rest of my life. BUT. Lately I have been very slowly reintroducing curry back into my life. And surprisingly, it has been perfectly fine. Like, perfectly fine. What the heck?!
I'm sure it could be due to a hundred things, but hey, I'm calling it my very own little curry miracle. :)
Anyway, that said, I have been doing some mega catching up over the past two years on every epic curry opportunity I have missed over the past decade. And without a doubt, much of that is happening in the soup world. I love a good curried soup. Especially simple ones like this one.
It's all of the goodness of traditional chicken and wild rice soup. But instead of cream, I went with coconut milk. And instead of Italian seasonings, it's curry for the win.
It's easy to make, nice and creamy, perfectly (and fairly lightly) spiced, naturally gluten-free, and mmm mmm good. Perfect for warming you up on a chilly day, whether that's in south Texas or northern Canada. It'll do.
Curried Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
This Curried Chicken and Wild Rice Soup recipe is easy to make, nice and creamy, perfectly (and fairly lightly) spiced, naturally gluten-free, and mmm mmm good.
- 1 cup uncooked wild rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium white onion, peeled and diced
- 2 large carrots, diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 stalks celery, diced (about 1 cup)
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 4 cups good-quality chicken stock
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 2 teaspoons curry powder*
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
- 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk (**see note below)
- optional garnishes: chopped fresh cilantro, crushed red pepper flakes, shredded coconut
Begin by cooking your wild rice. Stir together the wild rice and 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan until combined. Cover and heat over medium-high heat until boiling. Then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer (covered) for 40-45 minutes until the rice is cooked and tender. Strain out any extra water, and remove from heat.
While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a (separate) large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook for 6-7 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken stock, chicken, curry powder, bay leaf, cumin, salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Stir in the coconut milk until combined. Continue to cook until the soup reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover partially with a lid, and let the mixture simmer until the rice is ready.
Once the rice is cooked, stir it into the soup until combined. Remove the bay leaf. Then taste the soup, and season with extra salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm, topped with optional garnishes if desired.
*I tried a few different curry powders when testing this soup, and I actually loved classic ol' McCormick curry powder best. But go with whatever brand you love.
**I used a can of full-fat coconut milk in this recipe. But you can substitute in light coconut milk instead. Or if you would rather pass on coconut milk, you can substitute in a can of evaporated milk.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!

This is very similar to a soup I get at our local grocery store that I've wanted to recreate for a long time, but haven't gotten around to it. Thanks for doing the work for me! :) I need to try this before spring temperatures hit. (<—-they are coming, right??)
The combination of coconut milk and curry is out of this world! I love this combination in soup! It reminds me of a mulligatawny soup I made in the fall. Coconut milk just makes the soup so creamy and delicious! I recently made a wild rice soup, and the thought of combining it with coconut milk and curry sounds amazing! Such a simple meal to pull together too. I can imagine dipping some crusty french bread in a bowl now :)
We're on the same groove. I just made some curried wild rice chicken salad
I love anything with curry in it! And I'm so cold right now brrrr Boston winter!! Will have to try this!
That last picture is
Yum, yum and YUM! This soup looks awesome. So glad you can reintroduce curry into your life because curry is just too good. And now we get to all benefit with your awesome curry recipes!!
I'm not the biggest fan of curry, but looking at this soup, I may have to give it a try.
I hope you enjoyed your stay here in the great state if Texas and hopefully you won't have to deal with winter weather too much longer when you return to Kansas. I live in Dallas and for the past few days it's been cold, icy and wet. I'm looking forward to Spring again.
Man… I wish this had popped in my inbox sooner. I am ALL about curry, and this looks so soooo good. Would be perfect for lunch only it's already 12:19 and this ain't happening today, but I sure wish it was!!
I'm thinking this'll be the perfect thing to come home to after church on Sunday. Mmmmm. I can see it now. Yes. This is happening.
Thanks for the great recipe coupled with some honest-to-awesome writing. You are a must-read in my inbox.
This looks so yum! I have been loving soup lately even though our weather is pretty dang warm for feb! This ones gettig pinned and put on the list. Thanks!
So happy you can eat curry! You do have some catching up to do! There are so many different types of curry, too. I pretty-much love them all! Pinning this recipe. I want some right now!
Ooh! I had a creamy wild rice & chicken soup on my menu plan for Monday. But maybe I'll skip that heaviness and go with this lighter take – the warmth of curry sounds juuuuuust perfect for the freezing cold and slick snow we're enduring!
This is amazing! The smell is so tantalizing to the taste buds! The flavor is so warming and delicious! I will be making this again and again!
This is fantastic! What a great recipe — thanks so much, Ali!
This was delicious! I burned the wild rice I was using (oops) so used brown rice and it was still wonderful. So deliciously rich but not heavy. My husband thought it tasted even better the next day! Definitely adding it to the rotation.
Girl! Welcome back to the world of curry!!!!
I just tried this out, and wow, is it good! Other than omitting the additional salt and pepper at the end, I made no changes. It doesn't seem to make much, though, so next time I'll double it for extra leftovers. I'm seriously loving this recipe so much that it makes my normal chicken soup recipes seem bland. Thanks for the great recipe!
For anyone who is interested – I vegetarianized this by using Better Than Bouillon No Chicken stock and subbing 2 drained and rinsed cans of chickpeas for the shredded chicken. It worked perfectly and I can't wait to take this to work for lunch all week! Great recipe!
great soup… I added some toasted almond slivers, some Tabasco plus a squeeze of lemon :) oh wow
We are going into Winter now in Cape Town .. So this is perfect for Sunday night soup ! Thanks
This looks sooo delicious, I love soup. Not my husband so much and I love that you have a gluten free recipe area.
Would this taste just as good if I took out the chicken and chicken stock and used a veggie stock instead? I'm a vegetarian that has never made curry before but this sounds great =)
Eating this right now…uh…YUUMMMM!!!! The husband and I are obsessed!!!
This looks really good! But can I use jasmine rice instead of wild rice?
Ali, I'm trying to work more chicken dishes into my diet and wanted to give this one a go. I tend to trend toward crock pot recipes and was curious if you think this would be OK from a crockpot perspective. I'd probably put the chicken in raw as I normally make shredded chicken this way and just add the coconut milk when I get home in later. I also will probably use four cups water w/chicken bouillon instead of chx broth. I've never slow cooked rice before, however. any tips for slow-cookering this recipe up?
I made this last night and all I can say is, "WOW!" My entire house smelled amazing, and it tasted even better than it smelled! Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe. The only change I made was adding mushrooms and green beens, delicious!
I was craving chicken and wild rice soup, and I love curry, so win-win! I made the recipe as is, but substituted evaporated milk due to an allergy to coconuts. This was very good, but I would add more veggies and chicken as mine was pretty liquidity. I cheated with a Rotisserie chicken, and 3 cups was pretty much the entire chicken. Also my thinking it needs more "stuff" could be because i didn't exactly measure my carrots and could have thrown in one more. Thanks for sharing!
Since I found this recipe a few months ago, I've made it a few times. My husband and I absolutely love it. The curry I use is the Kroger store brand and it reminds me of Japanese curry that I love making, only better! The only differences that I do when making it is adding mushrooms and using Jasmine rice instead of wild rice. This is hands down one of my favorite recipes!
Made this last night since winter has finally decided to arrive in Toronto and there was a storm last night. So good! This is definitely going in my rotation.
I used jasmine rice since that's what I had and I think in the future I'll double up the rice and add more veggies but what a great base recipe.
I made this today and it turned out wonderful. Perfect meal for a cold winter's day when your feeling under the weather. I used a madras curry powder and i threw in a 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric as well. I also added a few tablespoons of lime juice and some tarragon vinegar (probably a few tablespoons). I then added sriracha for a little kick. Perfect! Thanks for the recipe! ( I also used jasmine rice)
I am making this tomorrow for dinner and honestly couldn't be more excited! I have two quick questions though, and if they seem silly I apologize. Firstly, do I cook my rice according to its directions or should I follow your 45 minutes? Secondly, is just white shredded chicken ok or do you suggest both white and dark meat? Thanks SO much and I can't wait for this meal!
So another great recipe from you! My husband also liked it which is awesome. I just made it in the crockpot instead. Added the rice about 6.5 hrs in, put the rice in and let it cool til the rice was done. So amazingly delicious and I will totally eat this again. I know it's a little early in our relationship for this, but I love you. Haha!
I have never left a comment on a food blog before, but I just had to after eating this soup. Seriously the best recipe I've found in a very long time. Loved how it was a variation on a traditional dish. I'll definitely be making this over and over again. Thanks so much!! I wouldn't hate it if you made some more dishes with curry and/or coconut milk :)
This soup is epically good!!!!! I've made it a few times. It definitely depends what type of curry you use and also coconut milk.
This soup looks delicious! I can't wait to try it. Just wondering if it freezes well?
This soup is so good! My husband is not a fan of traditional chicken soups, but we both thought this was great. We tend to like things spicy, so I used spicy curry powder and added a full tablespoon, which ended up being just right for us. Thank you for the unique recipe!
I am making this soup with my leftover turkey and the broth I made from the carcass. I need to run out for wild rice, but already the house is filled with a delectable aroma and the taste I took while it's simmering is luscious. This will be my go-to recipe from now on. Yum!

Remember Bulgarin? If you played Grand Theft Auto IV's main quest with Niko, then you certainly will. In this DLC pack, you initially ran into him at one of Tony's clubs earlier in the game. Now, he wants you to take care of some business for him directly. When you're ready, head over to his house in Dukes, located on Stillwater Avenue. When you arrive, you'll be let in by one of his goons, and you'll quickly get to talking with him. It appears that Bulgarin has a hankering for a hockey team. More specifically, it appears that he wants to own one. But there are some obstacles in his way that you'll need to take care of for him, primarily in the form of federal agents.
When you gain control after the introductory cutscene, get into a nearby car. Your destination is back in Algonquin, on Topaz Street. As usual, your HUD's GPS will give you the best, most effective, and most efficient route over to your destination. This will likely require you to use the East Borough Bridge to gap the Humboldt River and Charge Island, although the GPS may bring you in another direction entirely. When you arrive at your destination on Topaz Street, pull into the nearby parking garage and park your car in the specific spot the game dictates.
From here, the fun begins. You'll first be ordered to plant an explosive device on your own car, once it's parked in the proper spot. Do so, and then scurry behind the car designated on your map, which will protect you from the blast. Don't detonate the bomb until the game prompts you on how to do so, since this will give enough time for the federal agents to gather around your car, thus maximizing the destruction you wreak. Once the bomb is detonated, pull out your gun of choice and begin to do battle with the well-armed federal agents swarming your location. As usual, your GPS will be your best tool in determining where your enemies are (they will be represented by red dots on your HUD). Make quick work of these foes, since your two Russian companions can be killed if you dilly-dally too long. And if that happens, you'll be forced to try again. Also, try to stay away from cars that haven't yet exploded, since if a car explodes near you (caused by enemy gunfire), you'll likely perish.
With the initial waves of enemies killed, the game will prompt you to start making your way out of the parking garage. When you do, reinforcements will show up, and you'll be forced to deal with them as well. Stay close to your two friends, being sure the damage they sustain is kept to an absolute minimum. Again, if either of them fall in battle, you'll be forced to try again. These last waves won't put up nearly as good of a fight as the previous waves did, so you have little to worry about here in reality. When the last of the reinforcements are felled, steal one of their sweet cars and drive Bulgarin and his bodyguard back to his home, on Stillwater Avenue in Dukes. Easy!

I was unable to make it to Sedalia and most likely won't be able to go to the 2013 in Oregon for a whole host of reasons, mainly because it is too far and I have little kids...blah, blah. I have been following the rally threads and it looks awesome, so thanks to all the people who posted pics and descriptions of the rally.
So then I saw that BMW RA has a rally in June 2013 in Asheville, NC, which is 8-9 hours ride for me and I am starting to get the itch. I have never been to a motorcycle rally to I have nothing to compare my own experiences to. I have done some organized rides, but it ain't the same I am sure.
For those of you in the know, how do the two rallies (MOA & RA) compare?
(I searched, nothing came up.)

Elsevier Business Intelligence Reports Cellceutix "Developing a Still-Secret Prodrug For Psoriasis" and a "Heralded Cancer Candidate"
BEVERLY, MA--(Marketwire - Oct 29, 2012) - Cellceutix Corporation (
Based on dialogue with the clinical sites, the Company anticipates updating shareholders next week that dosing of the first patient has been administered.
"We are extremely pleased to hear that the first patients will begin therapy with Kevetrin™ in a matter of days," said Dr. Krishna Menon, Chief Scientific Officer at Cellceutix. "Not only is this is a substantial milestone for Cellceutix and its shareholders, but we feel it is important to the field of oncology. As a novel compound that directly impacts p53, the "Guardian Angel of the Human Genome," we look forward to a steady patient enrollment and future outcomes that potentially could change the landscape of cancer therapeutics.
Elsevier Business Intelligence
Cellceutix announced that Elsevier Business Intelligence has released a profile article on the Company for its latest edition of its publication "Start Up: Emerging Medical Ventures."
Elsevier, a division of Reed Elsevier Group PLC, is the world's leading provider of science and health information, serving more than 30 million scientists, students and health and information professionals worldwide.
In the article, Elsevier's Deborah Erickson discusses the uniqueness of the Company's Prurisol™ as a new therapeutic candidate for psoriasis, and the clinical trials at Dana-Farber Cancer Center and Beth Israel Deaconess on Kevetrin™ as a novel, p53-activating anti-cancer drug. Regularly referencing Cellceutix as "anything but a normal start-up," the write-up provides a succinct overview of the Company, its "all-star" advisory staff and offers insight into Kevetrin and Prurisol.
Shareholders and interested parties are encouraged to view the article at: http://cellceutix.com/category/in-the-news/
"We are very pleased to have been approached by Elsevier. They have a tremendous global outreach and the additional exposure is positive for our company," commented Leo Ehrlich, Chief Executive Officer at Cellceutix. "I found it particularly interesting how attracted they were to Prurisol and the incredible potential that they see for the drug. Because of the p53 connection and strong possibilities for Kevetrin™, many people overlook how impactful and valuable Prurisol can be as well."
About Kevetrin™
As a completely new class of chemistry in medicine, Kevetrin™ has significant potential to be a major breakthrough in the treatment of solid tumors. Mechanism of action studies showed Kevetrin's unique ability to affect both wild and mutant types of p53 (often referred to as the "Guardian Angel Gene" or the "Guardian Angel of the Human Genome") and that Kevetrin strongly induced apoptosis (cell death), characterized by activation of Caspase 3 and cleavage of PARP. Activation of p53 also induced apoptosis by inducing the expression of p53 target gene PUMA. p53 is an important tumor suppressor that acts to restrict proliferation by inducing cell cycle checkpoints, apoptosis, or cellular senescence.
In more than 50 percent of all human carcinomas, p53 is limited in its anti-tumor activities by mutations in the protein itself. Currently, there are greater than 10 million people with tumors that contain inactivated p53, while a similar number have tumors in which the p53 pathway is partially abrogated by inactivation of other signaling components. This has left cancer researchers with the grand challenge of searching for therapies that could restore the protein's protective function, which Kevetrin appears to be doing the majority of the time.
The clinical trial titled, "A Phase 1, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation, Safety, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Study of Kevetrin (Thioureidobutyronitrile) Administered Intravenously, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors," is available at: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01664000?term=cellceutix&rank=1
About Prurisol
Prurisol is a small molecule, acting on the principles of immune modulation and PRINS reduction that has been found to be effective against psoriasis in animal models, both in induced psoriasis as well as a xenograft model with human psoriatic tissue. It is 25% orally bioavailable allowing the potential for oral administration. Prurisol was studied in SCID mice that were irradiated then engrafted with human psoriatic tissue by inserting human psoriatic tissue under the skin using a trocar. The results of the research showed that Prurisol significantly reduced all psoriatic endpoints measured relative to controls. More detailed information and images of the animal models can be found at: http://cellceutix.com/prurisol/
