Thank you for taking the time to look at Grand Design RV. We would like to share some insights into what sets Grand Design RV Company apart from all other RV manufacturers and why this difference is important to you. We were part of the original ownership team that led a top RV Manufacturer to become the largest travel trailer and fifth wheel company in the world. While proud of our accomplishments at this company, it became difficult to stay in touch with the needs of our customers, employees and ultimately the products we built. In 2011, we set out to pursue our dream and re-establish the personal connection we had enjoyed with customers and dealers. The result is Grand Design RV Company. Starting with a blank canvas, we were able to do things differently than what had been done before.
After achieving unparalleled years of growth, Grand Design formed an alliance with one of the industry's most iconic brands...Winnebago. Operating as an independent business within Winnebago Industries provides additional financial stability and enables us to continue Grand Design's unique way of doing business for our current and future customers.
LONG TERM VALUE Everything we do at our company is designed to build long term value in what we offer our customers, "more features and superior value for your dollar."
CUSTOMER FOCUS Our focus (from the very first day we opened our doors) revolves around our customers.
STAYING CONNECTED Magic happens when the President and Senior Management are all actively working in the production facilities to help build the team and develop products.
EXPERIENCED WORKFORCE Our local workforce has been hand-picked, and has an excellent reputation for quality craftsmanship that is second to none.
CLASS LEADING WARRANTY We back every one of our coaches by a 3-year limited structural warranty.
RAISING THE QUALITY BAR We put every Grand Design unit through a series of quality inspection gates during the manufacturing process. Once completed, the unit undergoes a comprehensive final finish inspection. From here, most manufacturers ship their units on to the dealer for retail sale. Not Grand Design...Every one of our units are shipped to a separate PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) location where they are again put through a 280+ point inspection process. It is only after this that we deem a unit ready to ship to our dealers.
SUPERIOR SERVICE We deliver the highest quality in the industry, but anything built by humans can be subject to issues. It's how those issues are addressed that stands out with Grand Design. Don't just take our word for it, visit the owners page on Facebook (Grand Design RV Owners) and see for yourself how we take care of our customers after the sale. An informed customer will be a Grand Design customer!
At Grand Design our goal is simple...Continue leading the industry with quality products while improving the customer's RV experience before, during, and after the sale.
Happy Daze RV is not responsible for any misprints, typos, or errors found in our website pages. Any price listed excludes sales taxes, registration, tags and delivery fees. Manufacture pictures, specifications, and features may be used in place of actual units on our lot. To preserve the quality and mileage of our coaches, we only do test drives with a qualified offer to purchase.

NASA just gave Curiosity the Star Trek treatment. In anticipation of the rover's upcoming landing, the Agency has released two versions of a video entitled "Grand Entrance." The first is narrated by William Shatner, the second by Wil Wheaton. I think I speak for just about everyone in saying "oh hell yes."
"Shatner and Wheaton are mavericks in inspiring film, TV and social media audiences about space," said Bert Ulrich, NASA's multimedia liaison for film and TV collaborations, in a news release. "NASA is thrilled to have them explain a difficult landing sequence in accessible terms that can be understood by many. Thanks to their generous support, Mars exploration will reach Tweeters, Trekkies and beyond!"
So which will it be, folks? Kirk or Crusher? Pick your poison:
Captain James T. Kirk
Wesley Crusher
We're really excited to see NASA releasing better and better videos to promote its projects. To be totally honest, "Seven Minutes of Terror," which NASA released toward the end of last month, is still my favorite Curiosity-themed video to date (if you haven't seen it yet, go check it out immediately); but Shatner and Wheaton definitely come in at a close second.

This is a completely non-Python related post, but it probably makes sense to post this here, just for the casual observer. There have been some changes in my personal life that may make things confusing for some. I've been pretty public about this on my social media accounts, but quite a few people haven't heard for various reasons, so here is the news.
The short version is that I'm transgender and I've legally (and emotionally, professionally, etc) transitioned to being female. So the Naomi you see now is (in some ways at least) the same as the Vern that used to post here.
That is all. 🙂

Franco Mari, head chef and co-owner of Franco Trattoria was born in Rome and lived in Napoli, Italy for many years. Franco spent most of his childhood growing up in the kitchen with his mother learning how to cook. Franco's great grandfather started up his first restaurant back in 1947 and Franco is now carrying on his family's legacy. Over the last twenty years, Franco has focused his passions on creating some of the finest Italian dishes in Southern California with his lovely wife Melannie Colombo.
Franco learned that owning one of the best Italian restaurants in Los Angeles county along side his lovely wife is more than just business. Franco claims that it's about love and passion for what they do, whether it's cooking in the kitchen or watching their guests smiling and enjoying their food. Franco asserts that beyond their business together exist a deep love, passion and friendship for each other and their customers.
Melannie describes the relationship with her customers like family, she takes comfort in knowing that she is serving home cooked food, it's what she and Franco would eat at home. Melannie tells us that her customers always tell her "that it feels just like home" at Franco Trattoria and concluded that after seeing their customers return time after time, they begin to develop friendships which she loves.
Franco and Melannie shop for their customers each and every morning and nothing is delivered. Franco Trattoria has no walk in coolers and freezers and only uses a two door commercial fridge. So, whatever they buy, they prep and cook, and that becomes Franco Trattoria's menu-of-the day and every day is a different menu. Franco and Melannie only buy what they see and what is available to them, which determines what the menu of the day will be. Melannie does keep some of the traditional items on the menu like lasagna and sausage, but they love to create a variety of delicious authentic Italian dishes so that no one has to fly to Italy to find authentic Italian cuisine. Franco Trattoria serves up several mouth watering, jaw dropping dishes that are made fresh on the daily and if you love seafood, you will definitely not regret coming here.
Each night before they close, Franco checks his refrigerators to see what he needs or what's missing for the next day, and he and his wife go shopping for it the following morning and only purchase the freshest ingredients and produce. Franco only buys for a day or two at the most and they are closed on Wednesdays, Franco's motto is "If I don't eat it, you won't be served." Franco and Melannie both support their mini markets and grocery stores by shopping locally in their neighborhood.
I enjoyed eating there, and so did my guest, the service was exceptional, and the restaurant was very clean which is a huge plus for me, and we're not just talking about the restaurant area either, but the kitchen, storage lockers and refrigerators. Franco Trattoria is very charming indeed; it looks and feels like you're in Italy, with the smell of fine food and classic Italian music playing in the background sure makes for a fabulous experience.
It was nice to see so much love shared between both Franco and Melannie, as a gentleman and loving husband, Franco ends his day by sitting down with his wife and enjoying a home cooked meal together. I give Franco Trattoria a five out five star review. You must stop by and give them a try!
Franco Trattoria (Uptown) Whittier, CA

Closed on Wednesdays and Sunday Lunch.

You're probably not going to fool most adults into thinking these ceramic coffee mugs have actually sunk into a table. But kids are easy targets, and this sight gag is sure to blow their minds. Even if it's not April 1st.
For those who might be wondering how such sorcery is possible—don't worry—the mugs don't bend the laws physics or require the mastery of a portal gun. They were just moulded with the bottoms sheared off to create this effect.
At $15 each in brown or white it's definitely a pricey gag, but the mugs are still functional. And as an added bonus, their limited capacity could be an easy way to cut down on your caffeine consumption every morning. [Rakuten via Matomeno]

After 12 days in lovely New Zealand, I am home! Getting back was a bit more difficult than I had anticipated. After a three hour flight from the South island to the North island and a 12 hour flight to the US of A, I arrived at LAX. I figured I could just take Amtrak to Davis, so I hopped on the Flyaway bus. Once at the Amtrak station (after being propositioned to be "taken out to hollywood tonight" and then "driven up the beautiful PCH to Davis" by a total stranger), I learned that there isn't actually a train to where I live. So I took a 3 hour bus ride to get to a 5 hour train ride and then topped it off with another hour and half bus ride. It was just so much fun. During the third bus ride I realized that I didn't have a key and my housemates weren't home yet. Oops. It's all good, though!
I didn't take pictures every day but I will post some of the best that I have to sum up the remainder of my trip…
My step sista Brittany's house, see all the Tibetan flags and things?!
New Zealand has the coolest yogurt flavors.
Unfortunately their greek yogurt has the same nutritional profile as regular yogurt..?
Farariki beach, which my mom just called "Freaky Beach"
And the best meal I had on my trip..
Zucchini bruschetta with goat cheese and mint
Amazing goat cheese salad with fresh pears, walnuts, endive, and croutons
BBQ scallops with chili, lemon, olive oil, and wild rocket
Beef carpaccio with gorgonzola Dulce, lemon, chili, rocket, and grilled baguette
Pan fried snapper with tomatoes, red onion, basil pesto, and lemon
Clearly, we feasted.
Although the trip was truly great, I am excited to be back home and get back into the swing of things. This includes cooking and blogging new recipes! The discovery that I enjoy some cheeses has opened up a whole new world to me…

Since I first posted "NUDIBRANCHS – SAY WHAT?", May 14, 2012), I've found the time to delve further into these fascinating and exotic ocean creatures. You will be thrilled and amazed with the facts shared on these YouTube videos and the awesome video footage from around the world (Indonesia, Philippines, Bali)
First a few very interesting facts:
Nudibranch ~ means "naked gills"
Nudibranchs ~ are sea slugs
~ are beautifully colored tiny vessels of danger
~ store toxins/stinging cells they steal from their prey
~ more than 3,000 species
~ range in length from 1/4 inch to over 1 foot
~ are hermaphrodites (meaning they have both male and female sex organs)
~ are found in oceans from Antarctica to the tropics
I won't overload you with information, for as they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words".
"Nudibranchs", by Jean-Michel Cousteau, Ocean Adventures ~uploaded by KQEDondemand on Dec 5, 2008 ~ "They might be tiny, but nudibranchs can pack a poisonous punch. Learn more about these extraordinary creatures".
This next video is amazing ~ the music, "The Tahiti Trot" is very artistically adapted to the bizarre antics of the nudibranchs ~ an award winner in my opinion!!!
"Colorful nudibranchs in Lembeh Indonesia" ~ uploaded by George Delveroudis on Jul 5, 2010 ~ "… But they are the most colorful creatures on Earth and their body patterns exceed the imagination of the best designers on the planet."
"Nudebranches of Amed – Bali Reef Divers – Dive Bali" ~ uploaded by balireefdivers on Nov 9, 2010 ~ courtesy of Hero Productions ~ "These nudibranches were seen around Amed and Tulamben this season… wide variety of nudibranchs species around here… Night dives at Jemeluk are also a great opportunity to see these creatures!"

PEMBERTON — Rain dampened the mood of campers at the Pemberton Music Festival, but it was the police tape strung around a tent in which 21-year-old Regina man Nick Phongsavath was found dead Friday night that cast the longest shadow over last weekend's event.
RCMP called Phongsavath's death suspicious and locked down the scene almost immediately, but police did not make any arrests nor identify any suspects in relation to the man's death, said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, a spokeswoman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
"At this point, there is nothing to confirm or definitively rule out foul play," said Pound. After the man was found dead, IHIT members combed through some two dozen rain-drenched tents that had been cordoned-off in the northwest campground and investigators interviewed witnesses and spoke with festivalgoers.
Of those there were many, with about 20,000 people — equal to the population of White Rock — attending the festival each day.
HUKA Entertainment CEO and festival boss A.J. Niland said in an interview with The Sun late Sunday evening that police told organizers that the incident was isolated and the festival grounds were secure and safe. Backed by that assurance, organizers decided to continue with the show, he said.
About 500 police and security staff were on-site through the weekend, and event organizers helped authorities secure the scene and later find accommodation for campers who were not permitted to access their tents, said Niland.
Niland extended his condolences to Phongsavath's family.
Officials removed the young man's body from the scene by Saturday, but the cause of his death won't be known until an autopsy is performed, Pound said.
The incident rattled campers who gradually learned of Phongsavath's death over the course of the weekend.
"It's a horrible situation. It's kind of a buzz kill every time we come by and see the police tape and the cops. You don't really want to be next to that at a festival," said Ruwel Colminas, whose tent stood about 15 metres from the scene. "We just saw legs. We really didn't see much of the body."
Nearly a full day passed after the man's body was discovered before police were able to notify his family members and publicly disclose his name. Until that time, Mounties asked campers to call their parents or other family members to let them know they were OK. Organizers of the festival also sent out a similar message to campers via a smartphone app for the festival.
Lucy Higgs, of White Rock, said the incident completely shifted the mood for her and her friends.
"Oh god, it was terrifying. I called my mom," she said.
"It's super sad. This happens at all festivals pretty much these days. It's really sad and it should not happen but truth be told, it does."
There have been several unrelated deaths at music festivals in B.C. over the past few years and at least one was a homicide.
In 2012, a 23-year-old man from Sidney died after a probable drug overdose at Shambhala, an annual electronic music festival in the Kootenays. It was the second electronic music festival death that year, after a 25-year-old man was stabbed to death at the Entheos Summer Solstice Festival in Boston Bar.
IHIT was called in to investigate that homicide as well.
The Pemberton Music Festival returned this year with new management after a 2008 appearance that was marred by traffic so thick that festivalgoers had troubling getting onto the grounds. There were also problems with garbage collection and there were too few portable toilets.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 10, 2013) - Colossus Minerals Inc.(TSX:CSI)(OTCQX:COLUF) reports assay results from the recent diamond drilling program on the Elefante area where earlier in the year auger drilling had returned values of gold, platinum and palladium. The Elefante area is located approximately two kilometres to the southeast of the Serra Pelada Gold-Platinum-Palladium Mine. The Serra Pelada Mine is a 75%/25% joint venture between Colossus and Cooperativa de Mineração dos Garimpeiros de Serra Pelada (COOMIGASP) located in the State of Pará,Brazil.
Claudio Mancuso , CEO of Colossus commented, "We conducted this limited drill program to explore the possibility that mineralization encountered in previous soil and auger sampling programs continue into the bedrock. While we remain focused on development of the Central Mineralized Zone ("CMZ") where we continue progressing well with bulk sample extraction, we are encouraged by these results and anticipate that further exploration could lead to development of a satellite deposit. The area has seen little diamond drilling by Colossus and will be further explored in 2013. We look forward to providing an update on the progression of the bulk sample and other development activities in the next few weeks."
The Elefante area is located approximately two kilometres to the southeast of the Serra Pelada Mine (click the following link to view the accompanying map:http://file.marketwire.com/release/CSIfig1.pdf). The bedrock in the Elefante Area consists of Archean aged (2.68 billion year old) sediments belonging to the Rio Fresco Formation which also hosts the Serra Pelada orebody.
This release reports assay results for four HQ caliber diamond drill holes totaling 365 metres that were drilled in November and December 2012. The drilling program was a follow-up on encouraging precious metal results that came from an auger drilling program carried out over the Elefante area between January and May 2012 (see press release dated August 20, 2012 for details).
The objective of the diamond drilling program was to verify if the results that were encountered in soil sampling and auger drill hole programs were bedrock sourced. The mechanical auger cannot penetrate bedrock and can only drill to resistance (which usually means it ends in saprolite or the deeply weathered portion of the bedrock which lies just above the fresh bedrock). Auger drilling campaigns that preceded the diamond drilling program managed to outline a low grade (greater than or equal to 1 g/t combined gold + platinum + palladium) anomalous area roughly 200 metres long in an almost east-west direction and approximately 100 metres wide in a north-south direction (see map inset). Within this broad envelope lies a well defined, higher grade isocontour that was the main target of the diamond drilling program which tested an area roughly 25 meters (east-west) by 50 metres (north-south).
All four diamond drill holes returned values of gold, platinum and palladium with hole EL-12-001 returning the highest grade gold values of 12.64 g/t and 6.34 g/t while hole EL-12-002 returned the best overall platinum and palladium results with 1.27 g/t and 2.04 g/trespectively including a 1.25 metre interval that returned 0.07 g/t gold, 3.67 g/t platinum and 5.89 g/tpalladium. These results confirm that mineralization encountered in the soil and auger sampling programs conducted prior to the diamond drilling program continue into bedrock. The Elefante area has seen little drilling by Colossus and will be followed up in 2013.
A complete listing of results can be found in Table 1 below.
While minor amounts of carbon have been identified in outcrops during the mapping of the Elefante area and some minor carbon identified during core logging, no significant carbon upgrading similar to that identified with the CMZ at the Serra Pelada Mine could be reported in the Elefante drill holes even though they returned values of gold, platinum and palladium. This indicates that the classic "Burro Preto" zone which is associated to the CMZ at the Serra Pelada Mine may not be the only readily identifiable marker for mineralization in this type of sediment. Once the geology and the occurrence of precious metal mineralization at the Elefante area are better understood, a new exploration target for mineralization on the Serra Pelada property may develop.
The results are currently being interpreted and the immediate focus of the follow-up drilling will be to expand the known zone and define its limits.
Serra Pelada Geology
Gold-platinum-palladium mineralization at Serra Pelada overprints metasediments occupying the hinge of a large fold. The CMZ comprises mainly a steep dipping carbonaceous alteration zone in the fold hinge that also extends onto the upper and lower limbs of the fold for a limited distance. The Lower Limb represents shallow-dipping, gold-platinum-palladium mineralization predominantly associated with an iron oxide rich breccia as well as iron oxide rich argillic alteration and locally carbonaceous alteration on the lower limb of the main fold. The upper limb mineralization is characterized by an iron oxide rich breccia similar to that found in the Lower Limb. The lithologies containing mineralization at the Elefante area do not share the same characteristics or degree of alteration as the typical ore zone at the Serra Pelada Mine and may represent a new target for ore on the property.
Technical Information
Diamond drilling was HQ cored. Sampling of core by Colossus personnel and sample preparation by Intertek Limited, Parauapebas and/or SGS Geosol, Parauapebas, Brazilwere carried out under strict protocols recommended in the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report dated January 31, 2010 on the Serra Pelada Project. After photographing and logging, core sample intervals were cut and/or split in half, yielding samples of various weights depending on the sample length. Where core recoveries were low, intervals were composited to yield approximately one kilogram minimum sample mass. Intertek and SGS Geosol pulverize one or two kilogram splits (>95% passing 106 microns) from the crushed (>95% passing 1.7 mm), dried samples. Duplicates, blanks and certified gold-PGE reference materials were inserted in the sample train by Colossus personnel prior to Intertek preparation work.
The labs insert additional blanks, duplicates and high grade gold/PGE reference materials in the assay stream and replicate or duplicate assays were performed routinely and on most medium- to high-grade materials. Fire assays for gold, platinum and palladium were on 25 gram subsamples utilizing a lead-rich collector material and AA finish.
The Intertek and SGS Geosol assay results for blanks, duplicates, replicates and also all reference materials were well within generally accepted QA/QC measures.

The Company does not currently have any mineral properties that are in production or that contain a reserve as defined by National Instrument 43-101. In addition, areas of exploration potential are identified which will require additional drilling to determine whether or not they contain similar mineralization to areas that have been explored in more detail. Significant additional drilling is required at Serra Pelada to fully understand system size.

11-19-2010: Crazy offseason scenario number 1
November 19, 2010 Leave a comment
All of this Justin Upton talk has me thinking. The Red Sox need two bats to replace Adrian Beltre and Victor Martinez, and it's generally thought that we will likely sign a free agent corner outfielder (Jayson Werth or Carl Crawford) and a corner infielder. What if, instead of blowing $100M on two good but aging players, we fill those spots via trade for good young players, utilizing our top prospects? Stay with me here.
Step 1. Send Clay Buchholz, Daniel Bard and Josh Reddick to Arizona for Justin Upton
I know, you're saying WHAT? But hear me out.

LeBron James' jumper with 15.1 seconds left put Miami ahead for good, and the Heat rallied from 16 points down in the second half to beat the Orlando Magic 101-99 on Saturday night.
Dwyane Wade scored 27 points in his return to the lineup after missing two games to rest his knees, James added 22 and Chris Bosh had 15 for the Heat, who have won six straight.
Glen Davis, playing for the first time since Jan. 30 because of a broken left foot, scored 20 points for the Magic, who fell to 0-5 on the road. Arron Afflalo and Victor Oladipo had shots in the final 5 seconds, but neither fell and Miami escaped.
Afflalo scored 18, Oladipo added 17 and E'Twaun Moore had all of his 14 points in the first half for Orlando, which let one slip away.
In the first 43 minutes, the Heat led for all of 54 seconds, and were getting blown out for a while.
But Bosh's jumper with 4:30 remaining put Miami up 89-88, and from there it got frantic to the end. James made a 3-pointer over Davis for another Heat lead with 3:47 left, then took a charge against the burly power forward 19 seconds later, grimacing as he got off the hardwood.
Miami led by four points on a pair of occasions, and the lead was three with just under a minute to play. Afflalo missed a 3-pointer that would have tied it, but Davis got the rebound, went into the lane, drew contact from Bosh and got a shot to fall. The free throw rattled and dropped with 37 seconds left, and the teams were tied at 99-all.
James answered with his jumper over Afflalo. And when time expired, James tossed the basketball to one end, then fired his headband and wristbands into the stands in celebration.
James added nine rebounds and seven assists for the Heat, plus reached double figures for the 508th straight regular-season game, tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the fifth-longest streak in NBA history.
The Heat unveiled new red jerseys they'll wear at home for the next month or so, one of 10 different uniforms the defending champions will wear at various times this season.
Orlando simply had them seeing red in the first half.
The Magic were making everything, shooting 70 percent from the field and 6 for 6 from beyond the arc in the second quarter alone.
Moore had all his points in the second quarter, on 5 for 5 shooting, 4 for 4 from 3-point range — and that was as many as any two Heat starters had combined in the opening two quarters. When Afflalo got a 3-pointer to rattle off the rim a couple times and finally fall with 7 seconds left in the half, the Magic owned a 55-39 lead to take into the intermission.
The 16-point margin matched the fourth-largest deficit Miami faced at halftime of any game since James, Wade and Bosh became Heat teammates.
By the time Orlando got its first points of the second half, that lead was largely gone.
Miami opened with 10 straight points in the third quarter, with James hitting a pair of 3-pointers and Wade capping it all by going down the middle of the lane for a dunk.
Just like that, 55-39 became 55-49, and the Heat had life.
And even after Orlando pushed the lead back to 11, Miami just kept chipping away.
Wade had another dunk, a trapping Bosh poked the ball away from Nelson at midcourt and drove in for what became a three-point play, and when Norris Cole faked Davis into falling backward and creating more than enough space to make a baseline jumper, the Heat tied it at 66-all.
But Orlando gathered itself, holding the Heat to two field goals over the final 4:08 of the third and taking a 77-71 lead into the final 12 minutes.
NOTES: After playing twice in four days, the teams do not meet again until Miami visits Orlando on Jan. 4. ... James had a stuff-like-only-he-does sequence in the third quarter when he got a deflection and steal, gathered the loose ball, dribbled upcourt and threaded a one-handed crosscourt pass between plenty of Orlando defenders to set Ray Allen up for a 3-pointer.
James' jumper lifts Heat over Magic, 101-99
LeBron James' jumper with 15.1 seconds left put Miami ahead for good, and the Heat rallied from 16 points down in the second half to beat the Orlando Magic 101-99 on Saturday night.

By the Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
"[Sigrid Undset] should be the next Elena Ferrante . . . whose huge commercial success suggests there is a market for series in translation about fierce, complicated women navigating their culturally conservative European milieu. . . . If HBO is looking for its next miniseries, it should give Kristin Lavransdatter the proper adaptation it deserves. Rereading the trilogy this fall, I kept thinking of Olive Kitteridge, another powerful novel about a prickly mother turned into a worthy HBO miniseries. This trilogy includes illicit sex, affairs, a church fire, an attempted rape, ocean voyages, rebellious virgins cooped up in a convent, predatory priests, an attempted human sacrifice, floods, fights, murders, violent suicide, a gay king, drunken revelry, the Bubonic Plague, deathbed confessions, and sex that makes its heroine ache 'with astonishment—that this was the iniquity that all the songs were about.' " —Ruth Graham, Slate
"[My favorite fictional hero or heroine is] probably Sigrid Undset's strong-willed, sensual, self-destructive and ultimately rock-solid Kristin Lavransdatter. . . . Kristin's eponymous trilogy bears many rereadings. Right away one somehow identifies with this daughter of medieval Norway; soon one compassionates her in her sufferings. . . . For all her faults [she] inspires love in many around her, including this reader. Her faith and loyalty make her quite beautiful to me. Like Murasaki and Dos Passos, Undset tells the story of a whole life." —William T. Vollman, The New York Times Book Review
"We consider it the best book our judges have ever selected and it has been better received by our subscribers than any other book." —Book-of-the-Month Club
"The finest historical novel our 20th century has yet produced; indeed it dwarfs most of the fiction of any kind that Europe has produced in the last twenty years." —Contemporary Movements in European Literature
"As a novel it must be ranked with the greatest the world knows today." —Montreal Star
"Sigrid Undset's trilogy embodies more of life, seen understandingly and seriously . . . than any novel since Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov. It is also very probably the noblest work of fiction ever to have been inspired by the Catholic art of life." —Commonweal
"The first great story founded upon the normal events of a normal woman's existence. It is as great and as rich, as simple and as profound, as such a story should be." —Des Moines Register
"No other novelist, past or present, has bodied forth the medieval world with such richness and fullness of indisputable genius. . . . One of the finest minds in European literature." —New York Herald Tribune
"A master . . . writing in a prose as vigorous, articulate and naturalistic as the novel it re-creates, Tiina Nunnally brilliantly captures a world both remote and strangely familiar." —Judges' citation, PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize

I would definitely buy this again. We needed a durable sturdy product to use in our breakroom which is sometimes used by mill workers who are 6'5" and 300+ pounds. This is a great product!
Perfect for a demanding environment. Comfortable,durable,easy to clean seating.The chairs' light weight make them easy to move at the end of the day when cleaning
Saved alot of money and time. This replaced chair's that were in a Group Home for Mentally Handicapped Adults. These chair's are durable and welded together. I'm no longer replacing wood chair's every week after behavior's. They are very light weight, and pads were placed on the legs because of the noise pushing them back and forth under the table. I'm glad that I purchased them they were worth it.
Great chairs! These chairs cost at least half what comparable chairs cost elsewhere. They are comfortable, but a bit cold in the winter (we have been putting small cushions on them for now). They are lightweight but sturdy. And they are simply attractive. Also, they are a bit narrower than some other models, making it easier to fit six around our table. One drawback is that when we push them back along our tile floor, the noise is fairly loud and metallic and startles the dog. I am also thrilled that, according to IVG, they are made in Canada, rather an China or Indonesia.
Will Let you know as soon as I move in. I am moving in in a week --- chairs came with a few "wrapping/shipping" marks --- have requested "Cleaner for the Chairs" Guy D. Iacono -- I am an Interior Designer
Extremely Pleased. At the moment I don't know about scratches or how to deal with them when they happen. I live in MA but will use the chairs at my Winter home in Florida. I've already recommended the chairs and your company to friends.
Great buy... Bigger then I expected. Really well made, look more expensive then they were. Love, Love, Love them
Great Value! Great replacement for our old and falling apart kitchen chairs. Very well built and should last along while! Easy to clean with just a damp cloth.
Great chair in any decor. The smart design and comfort made these chairs ideal for daily use in our kitchen.
Chair Review. After shopping @ Antique shops extensively I purchased 6 of these chairs to complement existing chairs for my kitchen & dining room sets. They are beautiful and so sturdy. I can't believe the quality for the price and I will definitely use your company for any future furniture purchases.
My wife loved it! I really love it and I am very surprised of the quality we received for the price and had good results with customer service when the product came slightly damaged
Nice sturdy chair. I needed a ladder for my kitchen which has cabinets that go up to my ceiling yet I did not have space for ladder storage. This chair offered an attractive desk seat by an antique piece and the ladder I need when necessary.
A chair is part design statement, part restful retreat. No matter the occasion, our versatile selection has what you're looking for. Folding, banquet, church seating and stacking chairs are perfect for civic organizations, large parties, fire halls and other crowd-heavy areas. In your home, we offer a large variety of accent chairs, rockers, sleepers and more -- something for every room. When it's time to stretch out, nothing tops a lounge chair, recliner or glider. And for ultra-expansive space that invites comfy possibilities, you'll need a chaise lounge by the pool, on the patio or out in your yard.
Our manufacturing partners create superbly designed, functional and value-priced chairs of the finest quality, over 5,000, also organized in our Chairs & Recliners category in the Living & Family Room Furniture section. Plus many of our chairs identically match scores of our stools.

At OhOh Blog, Ama came up with a really creative way to upcycle an old belt. Check out this design …

- I recently saw a fabulous vintage suitcase do-over. It had bold stripes painted across it and I loved it! The Lily Pad Cottage It got me thinking and googling…. googling and thinking. And heres another one I drooled over from The Concrete Cottage. The Concrete Cottage Dontcha just love those colors? And heres another one. Oakview Cottage Wow. So, my wheels started turning and my thoughts went to a small vintage suitcase I had just picked up at Goodwill for $1.99. Its not even a suitcase, really. I think it was actually an album case. I found a sticker inside it that looks like it might have come from a music store. I guess Ill never know for sure. All I do know is that its definitely old. I figured it could stand a bit of work. So I literally scrubbed it clean and decided on a color and pattern for the paint. My original idea was to recreate a grainsack pattern, but that idea went downhill pretty fast when I realized that the width of the stripes would have to be fairly substantial in order for it to be proportioned correctly on the case. But fat stripes wouldnt really look like a grainsack, now would it? So I compromised. I used the paint color I had originally planned to use, but I made the stripes fatter than you would find on a grainsack. I left that paint job for another day (and a textile of some sort, like a pillow). Out came the acrylic paint (49 cents at Hobby Lobby), masking tape ($1.00 a roll at Dollar Tree), painters tape (already had) and a small paint roller (two for $1.00) that I got from Dollar Tree. I taped the stripes off at 2, 1 and 1/2 inch respectively, with 3/4 of an inch between each stripe. I marked the stripes off with masking tape and then added some painters tape to the sides of that so there would be some extra room on each side of the stripe for the roller. I just placed the tape in one continuous line all the way around the case. Here it is after I painted the first stripe but before I peeled off the tape. And here it is finished. I wasnt thrilled with the lack of crispness (there was some bleeding) but hey, I think it all adds to the vintage charm! And I think it was a nice trial of sorts for me. In other words, vintage suitcases, look out! I think it would be fun to paint the stripes in two complimentary colors. And theres always that good old standby – white! I also wrapped the handle in jute since it was looking a bit too new (once I scrubbed it clean!) if you know what I mean. I think it added just the right touch. And I can always take it off if I change my mind. And now I get to sit back and admire my handiwork. And decide how to take advantage of its other benefit — hidden storage! Im an official vintage suitcase addict now. You can see my madness on my VINTAGE SUITCASE PINTEREST PAGE!

- Turn a plain pair of leggings into exciting statement legwear with this unbelievably easy slash and weave technique! Ive seen this method used on a lot of T-shirts, but when I saw it recently on a pair of leggings I thought it looked so good that I decided I had to try it out. It isnt technically a braid, its more like a crochet stitch, but either way, I was honestly shocked at how easy it was and how good it looked. It has exactly the kind of biomechanical aesthetic I love, like stylized spinal column or snake skin made of cloth. I will now have to restrain myself from attacking all my clothes with scissors, and giving them little spines!All you really need to create this look is leggings and scissors, but a few other things help, and there are a lot of design options to play with.

After seeing THE PIANIST OF WILLESDEN LANE, currently playing at the Royal George Theatre (see Review), I was so moved that I wanted to know more about the woman who created and performs in this "one woman" show. Mona Golabek has appeared at the Hollywood Bowl, the Kennedy Center and the Royal Festival Hall alongside major orchestras worldwide. A Grammy nominee, she has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Avery Fisher Prize, and has been the subject of several PBS television documentaries. Golabek is the creator and voice of The Romantic Hours, a syndicated radio program, which combines classical music with readings of poetry, letters, and stories, and can be heard on 80 stations and XM Satellite Radio. Golabek and her family are founders of the non-profit Hold On To Your Music, which spreads the message of the power of the arts, especially music, to embolden the human spirit. THE PIANIST OF WILLESDEN LANE is adapted and directed by Broadway artist Hershey Felder and based on the book The Children of Willesden Lane by Golabek and Lee Cohen.
My interview with Mona Golabek follows:
BK: In what way did living in Los Angeles influence your career?
MG: Los Angeles gave me my start in that I grew up there as a child prodigy at the piano and rose through the ranks of competitions and orchestral appearances in the formative years. Of course, it is such a center for a broad spectrum of arts and one can't help being influenced on many levels. However, I must confess that my heart really belongs to Old World Europe, and even other time periods and I thrive in cities like Chicago. I spent the day in downtown Chicago including an enthralling set of hours at Macy's. How beautiful. The 7th floor restaurant with its Viennese chandeliers gave me the perfect images for the opening of my show!
BK: The fund the you and your family started, "Hold on to Your Music" sounds very interesting. What does it do? How does it work?
MG: Our mission is to spread the story of my mother, Lisa Jura, and its inspiring message of the power of the arts to embolden the human spirit during challenging times. To date, nearly 200,000 students across America have read the book and we work with civic leaders and teachers to gift the books and provide a live performance. Our website, (www.HoldonToYourMusic.org) provides educational resources that can be downloaded for free and accessed by students and educators. (Note: See some wonderful family pictures on the site. BK)
BK: What inspired you to write the book, "The Children of Willesden Lane"?
MG: My mother, Lisa Jura. She was the most breathtaking mother. I knew in my heart, that if I could write her story and get it published, i would have the privilege of inspiring so many people. That has been my greatest joy - to see how this story has entered the hearts of people from all walks of life!
BK:. How did you meet Hershey Felder?
MG: I first knew of Hershey Felder from his highly successful artistic reputation. Then, Steve Robinson, v.p. of WFMT Radio here in Chicago, brought me to see Beethoven As I knew Him and I was stunned. I decided to seek Mr. Felder's advice about my dream to bring my mother's story to the stage. He graciously invited me to meet with him at the Geffen Playhouse and share the story. He took me under his wing and guided me to fulfill my dream.
BK: You are the creator and voice of "The Romantic Hours", a syndicated radio program that combines classical music with readings of poetry, letters, and stories. Do you this this experience prepared you for your performance in "The Pianist of Willesden Lane", which also seems to have similar elements?
MG: Well, both projects have one thing in common - music and story telling. My mother always said 'Each piece of music tells a story" and both the radio broadcasts and the theatrical show have this thread. However, the radio voice is very intimate and quite different from my inhabiting various characters onstage and projecting in a large theater.
BK: Is there anything further that you would like to share with Chicago Splash Magazine readers?
MG: Come see the show! It is an honor for me to share this story in one of the great cities of the world.
The performance schedule for THE PIANIST OF WILLESDEN LANE is now through Sunday, May 25th. Performance times are: Wednesdays & Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m. Saturdays at 2 p.m & 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets are $44 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and $49 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

A reader recently asked for a discussion of automating Microsoft Project with Ruby. Let's dive right into some examples...
Create an instance of the MSProject Application class...
require 'win32ole'
app = WIN32OLE.new("MSProject.Application")
Note that Project (like Outlook and PowerPoint) is a single-instance application. This means that if an instance of Project is already running, that instance will be returned, even though you called the WIN32OLE.new method. If Project is not currently running, a new instance will be launched.
To show or hide the Application window, set the Visible property...
app.Visible = true
The application object contains a Projects collection of all open projects. To create a new project, call its Add method...
project = app.Projects.Add
Oddly, the Projects collection doesn't have an Open method. To open an existing project, call the application object's FileOpen method...
...then reference the active project...
project = app.ActiveProject
Use the Title method to set or get the Project's title...
project.Title = 'My Project Title'
You can iterate over the Tasks collection, and call its Add method to create a new Task...
tasks = project.Tasks
(1..100).each do |i|
task = tasks.Add
task.Type = 1
task.Name = "Task #{i.to_s}"
task.Notes = "Your comments here..."
task.Text30 = "My Specific Text"
A Task object has a variety of properties/methods (some shown above), and includes a Resources collection, over which you can iterate...
project.Tasks.each do |task|
puts task.Name
puts task.Resources.Count
task.Resources.each do |resource|
puts resource.Name
Save the active project by calling the Application object's FileSaveAs or FileSave methods...
To exit, call the Application's Quit method...
As mentioned previously, there are various means for exploring the Project object model, and I encourage you to pursue these.
As always, post a comment or send me email if you have questions, comments, or a request for future topics.
Thanks for stopping by!

This Monday we launched a book called "Social Development in Independent India" and I was asked to make a brief speech. ( You can see pictures and a more formal report from Babita below this) Following me as speakers were Muchkund Dubey and Montek Singh Ahluwahlia. If you don't know who they are, Google them, and then try and think what you would say about social development which would add to what they might be able to tell you.
Try as I might, I couldn't think of a single thing to say, other than welcoming all the guests. I did that in the first few sentences and then found myself telling this very learned audience the story behind the picture on the cover of the book - a beautiful picture taken by Madhur Bhatia at a village school outside Varanasi. Thankfully Dr. Ahluwahlia looked as if he was interested, and the audience was too civilised to boo this twit who was talking about the cover, when the content of the book was what they wanted to hear about.
For the future, if anyone asks me to speak without giving me a tight script, they run the risk of my blurting out whatever comes into my head at the moment.
Tomorrow I am off on 3 weeks leave, to drop my 18 year old son to film school in Vancouver. Its also the first family holiday we are taking since 2006, and so I am really looking forward to it. My next post might include some pictures of whales and glaciers!

The Launch of Social Development in Independent India by Dr Montek Singh Ahluwalia
Dear All,
Pls. find attached herewith the photographs of Dr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission, Government of India and Prof. Muchkund Dubey during the release of "Social Development in Independent India in
Among those who attended the book release function were academicians, scholars, and media persons like (DD News, The Week, Business, IANS, Business Bhaskar, India Times and Samyak Bharat weekly)
Dr. Ahluwalia told that we have been exceptionally good in outlining mantras but to what extent objectives are achieved remains a matter of debate and doubt and he mentioned that the book provides an overview of the course of social development in India in the past 60 years by throwing light on different government schemes and social issues.
I have pasted the media reviews below this text for your convenience.
Please spread the word to all the appropriate accounts (bookstores/ libraries) and use it as an effective sales tool. This would certainly get favourable results in terms of sale.

As soon as Rajdhani express halted at the Madgaon station, the excited and restless team of Pearson School Division, jumped on to the platform of the "tiny emerald city"; Goa - a small and beautiful sea town wrapped up in monsoon serenity of dancing coconut trees, like a bunch of Portuguese travellers, finding their blessed land after a long voyage.
The boundless excitement & energy spilled on to the luxurious beach resort of Cidade De Goa, as soon as "Pearsonities" landed there, which was to be the scene of hectic corporate activity for the next three days.
By 8:30 p.m. the "Laranza" dinning hall was filled with cacophony of loud chatter of the Pearson team coupled with the melody of romantic songs belted out cheerfully by 3 guys in colourful shirts.
While the marketing team - school division went running around to see the arrangements, the rest of the team headed for the sand & sea of Vainguinim beach…
It rained all night….
Day 1
Naveen set the ball rolling in Grand Sala convention hall by welcoming everyone......and showcasing Pearson Education's milestones & achievements in a brief documentary.... Then started the product presentations and areawise sales reports, marking the good work & success stories of the sales team along with the launch of new school titles 'Images & Uphaar' which the editorial (their Babies) bring out with "Joyful Labour" every academic year.
As Naveen said "Work Hard, Party Harder" … after the days work, the evening was for fun games. "Ramdulara" the donkey with missing tail stole the show, which blindfolded Naveen, Dipankar and Shafina successfully detected….!! So much so for missing links.....Pearsonities se bachna mushkil hi nahin, namumkin hai Ramdulare ji!!! Aap kya sooch rahe the!!!
The "Bindi" round saw all the lovely ladies of Pearson standing stricken as their faces were smeared with as many bindis as the chosen guys (Lucky men...) could stick......with great sense of competition… Nehal & Purba won (with 13 bindis on her face) ...
The ladies then tied the ribbon knots which our Pearson gentleman had to unknot (all ran thinking its Rakhi) Deepa & Rohit Dhar won, prompting Rohit to do a victory dance like a boxer..
After a stupendous meal the action again shifted to beach with everyone trying to ride the big waves that came rushing to the sandy sea shore…till it started to rain, yet again.
And it rained all night.....
Day 2
Vivek came on the second day and made up for his absence in more ways than one...Everyone was enamoured by the way he introdued himself during his presentation!! He interacted with everyone, shook a leg, met our authors..... and felicitated the sales teams for their stupendous performance in UP & Uttranchal, and Delhi/NCR.
It was a day dedicated to high energy perfromances: Derek O' Brien in his trademark sunshine yellow t-shirt with his team came, saw & conquered the entire gathering!! No wonder, he has women swooning to his every move!! More awards followed: The North Eastern team for their commendable performance, the editorial for winning the Star Performer of the year award through popular polling for Know & Grow with Derek. The cherry on the cake was the surprise award for creating the motto; "Aspire, Achieve, Inspire" - which went to the thunderstruck Gitesh, who couldn't believe that such an award had been announced......
It rained all the day…..yet again!!!
The gala evening party started with wishing Happy Birthday to Jitender Kumaria, who drank beer from the feeder bottle and opened the next round of party game "Drinking beer from feeder bottle" – where the big boys became babies & crawled and drank from the feeder bottles… Who else, but Sanjeev, the beer tanker, won. Girls did it with Coke & our new member of Pearson Arundhati won...
Soon after games, everyone hit the floor....in their best dancing shoes. Naveen was the "on-mike DJ", adding frenzy to the dance fever… Vivek danced ….Sharmila, Ranjani, Rajni danced, Sanjeev, Mansi, Soumitri, Diyasree, Tandeep, Prashant, Gitesh also danced. Kamal,(who never stopped) … danced & dazzled, but behold who stole the thunder " Mona Goyal".. She danced as there was no tomorrow - Retro, disco salsa, hip-hop, she got it all – And won the Dancing Diva award!! The Jumping Jack award was handed over to Amrit Ranjan Pandey for his gravity-defying break-dance. And it rained all night!!!!
Day 3
Pearson Product Quiz: Prashant for once was Prashant O' Brien the Quiz master.. Conducting the Pearson Product quiz 2008, shooting his brain twister questions to four selected teams & audience… Where did Naveen start his career in Pearson? Full form of CAMP? Full name of Bala? Everyone scratched their heads…..rattled their minds, tickled their grey cells….... Many won chocolates for the right answer, and the west zone comprising Parvesh and team won the Dazzling Quiz trophy.
Excursion: It was raining …went to Dona Paula beach and Saint Francis church … the old saint is mummified for centuries...
It rained….
Did Shopping in rain…"KAJU" and Feni buying frenzy took over……. Tons of Cashews was purchased by Pearson people ….after numerous rounds of hard bargaining by Pearsonities Goa gave up and sold out, causing wide shortage of cashew in Goa (Giggling)…………It is rightly said that all good things must come to an end.... and this corporate travelogue too is to be concluded, so let me do it by saying …till next NSM 2009, Goodbye. Rememeber to "Aspire, Achieve and Inspire." till we meet again.........(Gitesh Sinha)

The following was written by Joshua for Telling the Stories that Matter.
"Come on, Peter," Andrew called, "we have too much work to do to stay here any longer." Andrew and Peter were on their way to the shore to continue fishing and working the sea. With net and boat, they ventured daily into a great terror–a sea where storms killed men and refused to supply fish and sustenance. In the first century, the waters could be a very risky and intimidating place to be. Yet, Andrew went there regularly to support himself and his family. But on the walk, that day, Andrew wanted to talk about the figure that he and Peter had been talking to, recently. Andrew was inspired and vivified by the presence and words of John and found himself spending more and more time out in the wilderness with the wild man who proclaimed a new and imminent Kingdom and baptized people for the remission of their sins. One day, Andrew had gone forward to John and been baptized because of his intense and growing passion for the Kingdom of God. Peter had heard Andrew say much about John but there was something different in his voice. Recently, another man had come and John had seemed to be gripped by the same rapturous amazement that so many of John's audience felt in John's presence. Then–much to John's confusion–the man had requested to be baptized by John. John baptized the one he called "the Lamb of God" and "Jesus" but he insisted that Jesus should be baptizing John. Andrew had shaken his head in confusion and uneasiness but his heart had burned within him as he watched Jesus be baptized.There was something different about this one–this one that John said he had been preparing everybody for.
"Do you think this Jesus could be the one?" Andrew asked Peter while casting the nets over the side of the boat, "I mean…do you think this one could be the messiah?"Peter was about to respond when Andrew saw Jesus standing on the shore nearby. Jesus waved to them and indicated that they should come in as he had something to say. Andrew looked to Peter and noticed that Peter was already taking in the nets and preparing the boat to return to land. When they got there, Jesus was smiling at them and asked them how they were doing with their fishing. They responded but they were waiting to see what this potential messiah might say to confirm or deny their hopeful suspicions.
"Follow after me, Andrew and Peter, and I will make you a different kind of fisherman–a fisher of people." Andrew's heart jumped in his chest and he suddenly knew what his only response could be: yes. Peter soon followed and the two became apostles and members of "the Twelve." They began following after Jesus and learning how to cast nets of words and actions that could catch people in them. They were learning to be what it was that Jesus called them to be. Andrew was, by no means, always faithful or given to believing but he continued to come back to the one that he had learned to trust. It was Andrew who said: "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes: but what are these among so many?" His question is a question that so many of us ask in so many ways in our daily lives. What difference does a little help make when compared to such great need? When there are thousands dying every day from hunger, does my little bit of help do anything? When there are wars and rumors of wars surrounding us, does my stance for peace do anything? Jesus knew, however, that the little could be made to be sufficient and that it mattered deeply both for the giver and the recipient. It is this lesson that Andrew learned that day when he gathered in the fragments of fish and bread with awe written across his face.
Andrew would follow Jesus in mission after Jesus' death and resurrection and become a missionary to people who had never heard the good news of mercy and grace for all sinners. He would preach a gospel that mattered even if the nets of the faith only gathered one person at a time. Over time, this meant that thousands came to know faith in and fellowship with Almighty God because of the faith of one fisherman. Years after Jesus' death, Andrew also would be martyred. His final request was that his crucifixion should not mimic his Lord's because he didn't feel worthy even to die like his Lord.

More Porsche
The all-new twin-turbo V6 engine in the Panamera 4S and twin-turbo V8 engine in the Panamera Turbo are lighter and more compact than their predecessors and come equipped with VarioCam Plus. Their two turbochargers are now positioned in between the cylinder banks. This reduces the distance that the exhaust stream has to travel to reach the respective turbo – delivering a more rapid response.
The twin-turbo V8 engine of the Panamera Turbo is equipped with twinscroll turbines. The exhaust streams arrive at the turbine wheel through physically separate channels – for optimised gas cycles. The result: high torque even in the low rpm range.
When you're in the lead, you have to keep going. And here's the proof ‒ the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. The high-performance hybrid realises its full potential with a powerful 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine and an electric machine. Together they speak a clear language, namely performance.

A key government panel Tuesday voted unanimously against approval of a powerful opioid prescription painkiller intended to provide faster relief with fewer side effects.
At the conclusion of a hearing, the Food and Drug Administration advisory committee voted 14-0 against recommending that the agency approve Moxduo, the first drug to combine morphine and oxycodone into one capsule.
The committee also voted unanimously that the drug's developer had not proved that Moxduo is less likely to cause potentially life-threatening respiratory suppression than taking morphine or oxycodone alone.
"I certainly wish that there was an opiate that could be counted on to decrease respiratory depression and maybe one day there will be," said Gregory Terman of the University of Washington, one of the committee members.
QRxPharma, the company that developed Moxduo, had argued that the drug would provide fast relief for millions of patients suffering from moderate to severe pain, including accident victims and people undergoing major surgery.
But FDA reviewers raised questions about whether Moxduo provides any benefits over using morphine or oxycodone alone. The FDA's experts disagreed on whether the company's studies show that the drug delivers the intended benefits, which supposedly include better pain relief, fewer side effects or lower risk of life-threatening complications.
Addiction researchers also argued that the drug raises concerns that it could be more easily abused than opioid drugs like Vicodin and Percocet, which could make the nation's epidemic of prescription painkiller abuse even worse.
In a statement, QRxPharma Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer John Holaday said the company was "obviously disappointed" by the vote but remained "confident in the advantages of Moxduo compared to morphine [and remained] committed to bringing to market safer therapies for pain, such as Moxduo, and preventing opioid abuse."
The FDA is not obligated to follow the panel's recommendations, but the agency usually does.
Mix some morphine with some oxycodone and it makes for a powerful painkiller. But today, an FDA advisory committee recommended against approving such a drug, one called Moxduo. The manufacturer said it would provide fast relief with fewer side effects. But it raised fears that more people would become addicted and possibly overdosed on pain drugs. NPR health correspondent Rob Stein is here to discuss this. And, Rob, start by telling us more about this drug, how it works, and who it's designed for.
ROB STEIN, BYLINE: Right. It takes - this drug takes these two really powerful narcotics, morphine and oxycodone, and puts them together into the same capsule for the first time. And QRxPharma, which is the drug company that developed it, says that it would provide really fast, really strong pain relief for millions of patients. We're talking about people who maybe had back problems or had surgery for a hip replacement or a knee replacement or maybe cancer surgery and were in really terrible pain. And this would provide really strong, really fast pain relief to them without - with fewer side effects.
CORNISH: But what is the idea on combining them in this way?
STEIN: Yeah. The idea is by taking these two drugs and putting them together, you could take lower doses of each of them than you would need if you took either of them alone. So the idea is that it would be, first of all, safer. They'd be less likely to produce problems breathing, which is the main reason why people - this is the most serious side effect from these drugs. The main reason why people die from overdoses or for other, you know, other reasons from taking too much. Also, that it would produce fewer of these other side effects that can really - like nausea, vomiting, dizziness. They can also cause really severe itching that makes it hard for people to take enough of those drugs to get the relief they need.
CORNISH: Now, given the power of these drugs, I understand some experts were worried about the safety of Moxduo. Can you give us more detail on that?
STEIN: Yeah. Well, there were really a couple of concerns. The first one was whether the company had really made its case, whether really this drug really was safer and really did have fewer side effects. And, in fact, during today's hearings, during the FDA hearing today, the FDA's own advisers were really skeptical, basically saying, you know, we really don't know if they made their case here. And then beyond that, there was really deep concerns among addiction specialists that this drug would be really easy to abuse, that it'd be really easy to crush it, to snort it, maybe inject it. And then that would make the already really bad prescription painkiller abuse problem in this country even worse.
CORNISH: And, of course, like you said, I mean, that's not specific to this drug. It's a problem for all prescription narcotics.
STEIN: Yeah. That's a - this is a huge problem in this country. On the one hand, you have this big problem of prescription painkiller abuse. You have people who are getting addicted, overdosing. It can destroy families. It can destroy entire communities. And it's a huge problem. Millions of people are addicted. Thousands of people are overdosing every year. On the other hand, you have lots of pain patients who are living in terrible pain and they're having a harder and harder time getting access to the drugs they need to really - to deal with this pain.
CORNISH: In the end, the committee voted against approving the drug. Tell us what happened there.
STEIN: Yeah. There had this daylong hearing. They heard from the company, which they made their case, and they outlined what they would do to try to minimize the chances that this drug would be abused. They also heard from the FDA's experts, which I - who I said, you know, were really skeptical. And then they heard from, you know, pain specialists and pain patients who pleaded with the committee to approve this drug, saying we really need as many options as we can get.
And they also heard from families of people who had lost loved ones to overdoses and had loved ones become addicted. And addiction specialists are saying, look, you know, this is just too dangerous to let this drug get on to the market. In the end, the committee voted very clearly unanimously to recommend against approving it, saying that the company just had not made its case.
Now, it's important to note that the FDA does not have to follow this recommendation. It usually does, but doesn't always. And, in fact, it was another prescription painkiller that the FDA recently approved even though another advisory committee had recommended against approving that one.
CORNISH: That's NPR's Rob Stein. Rob, thank you.
STEIN: Oh, sure. Thanks for having me. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
