Hello all, new to the forum. I played D1 when it came out and just quit WoW which I've played since release.
I picked D3 up when it cam out and have been addicted since. I'm more of a casual+ gamer, I just don't have the time to play as much as I want but I like to learn as much as i can. So far I've gotten a DH and a Barb into Nightmare and am trying to keep advancing.

Not sure if anyone remembers me, but I used to be pretty darn active a while back.
Decided I'd check out the forums because the tend to be a better source of info than the official sites, and figured I'd post a "hi everyone" message while I'm here.

Hi, my name is Russ and I'm an alco... wait, no I'm not. I'm addicted to hot women. But enough of that...
I'm probably one of the old farts on here (turned 39 this year) Been playing games since the Atari 2600 days (WTF is that?! LOL) As far as Blizzard games, I've been playing since Starcraft was released, which lead to Warcraft 2... which lead to Diablo 1... which lead to Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3... which lead to Starcraft 2 and finally to Diablo 3.
Now that I'm here, let's see how much fun we can have...

Re: Official D3 Forum Introductions Thread
Welcome! 39 definitely is not an old fart in these parts, it's almost average in fact. I'm 33 and I feel like a youngster compared to some others here.

When people tell me "plz" just because it's shorter than 'please', I feel perfectly justified to answer 'No' because it's shorter than 'Yes'.

Played D, then D2, then D2x from release onwards. Recently got back into D2x when my flatmate expressed an interest. Have been basically dormant for a while until I heard the news... at work... I might have whooped... People looked at me funny. But who cares, finally, finally we have D3

Hello everybody.
I recently returned to Diablo gaming as well. And remembered that I had an account here.
I'm playing on the Europe server in Diablo 3 but used to play on USWest back in 1.08 and 1.09 and was primarily a Classic player.

There are no makers marks and I can't find any info. online. I've found similar ducks but not these exact ones. Any info would be appreciated!

El Palo Alto Park
El Palo Alto park is a .5 acre park and is the home of "El Palo Alto" the redwood tree which was the source of the the city of Palo Alto's name. The park exists to preserve this tree and the town's history. The small park has several monuments, a walking and biking path, a few historical descriptions, and the San Francisquito Creek.
El Palo Alto is a coastal redwood tree that is 110 feet tall (compared to 134.6 feet in 1951), 90 inches in diameter, and has a crown spread of 40 feet. El Palo Alto originally had twin trunks, but an 1887 flood in the San Francisquito arroyo tore off one of the two. The tree dates approximately to the year 940. The tree is California Historical Landmark No. 2 (number 1 is the custom house in Monterey). It is recognized by the National Arborist Association and International Society of Arboriculture for its historical significance as "a campsite for the Portola Expedition Party of 1769."
The plaque at the base of the tree bears the following inscription:
Under this giant redwood, the Palo Alto, November 6 to 11, 1769, camped Portola and his band on the expedition that discovered San Francisco Bay, this was the assembling point for their reconnoitering parties. Here in 1774 Padre Palou erected a cross to mark the site of a proposed mission (which later was built at Santa Clara). The celebrated Pedro Font topographical map of 1776 contained the drawing of the original double trunked tree making the Palo Alto the first official living California landmark.
A second plaque across the creek in the town of Menlo Park reads:
Portola Journey's End; November 6 - 10 1769. Near "El Palo Alto," The Tall Tree, the Portola Expedition of 63 men and 200 horses and mules camped. They had traveled from San Diego in search of Monterey, but discovered instead the Bay of San Francisco. Finding the bay too large to go around, and deciding that Monterey had been by-passed, they ended the search and returned to San Diego.

Embedthis Appweb is a fast, little embedded Web server. It is unmatched in efficiency and serves pages at native speed, using an event-driven, non-blocking core to serve multiple requests using minimal resources. It has integrated caching and the Embedded Server Pages C-Language Web framework. Without compromising performance, it has extensive security controls and a rigorous security sandbox that helps protect the server and mitigate denial-of-service attacks. It is one of the most widely deployed embedded Web servers and is used in networking equipment, telephony, mobile devices, industrial control, and consumer and office equipment, and in high-performance Web services.
The CyaSSL embedded SSL library is a lightweight SSL library written in ANSI C and targeted for embedded and RTOS environments, primarily because of its small size, speed, and feature set. It is commonly used in standard operating environments and cloud services as well because of its royalty-free pricing and excellent cross platform support. CyaSSL supports industry standards up to the current TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2 levels, is up to 20 times smaller than OpenSSL, and offers progressive ciphers such as HC-128, RABBIT, and NTRU.
Unicorn is a Unix and LAN/localhost-optimized fork of the Mongrel HTTP server. It takes full advantage of functionality exclusive to Unix-like operating systems. It will reap and restart workers that die from broken apps, and there is no need to manage multiple processes yourself. Load balancing is done entirely by the operating system kernel. Requests never pile up behind a busy worker. The server does not care if your application is thread-safe or not, as workers all run within their own isolated address space and only serve one client at a time. All Rack applications are supported along with pre-Rack versions of Ruby on Rails via a Rack wrapper. It also supports atomic log cycling, nginx-style binary re-execution without losing connections, before_fork and after_fork hooks, and optional copy-on-write-friendly memory management.
Rainbows! is an HTTP server for sleepy Rack applications. It is based on Unicorn, but designed to handle applications that expect long request/response times and/or slow clients. For Rack applications not heavily bound by slow external network dependencies, consider Unicorn instead as it simpler and easier to debug.
Alaya is a primitive chrooting Web server with basic WebDAV support. It can serve HTTPS and HTTP, and can authenticate using PAM, /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, or using its own authentication files that allow for 'native' users that only have access to alaya content. It's intended to be a simple method of sharing content over WebDAV, and though it can be configured with a config file, it's easy to configure by command-line switches alone. Alaya always chroots to ensure that malicious users can't use '..' within a URL to access unintended documents, and that users can't accidentally leave documents in places outside of the chroot. It has a 'ChHome' mode that chroots users into their home directory and serves content from there. It supports .cgi scripts out of a trusted path (so not from within the chrooted WebDAV share) and read-only shared directories that are outside of the chroot (allowing access to shared content when in ChHome mode).
NanoHttpd is a lightweight HTTP server designed for embedding in other applications. It's only one Java file, in two "flavors", one strictly Java 1.1 compatible, and one at "current" standards. It supports GET, POST, PUT, HEAD and DELETE requests, and supports file uploading with very small memory overhead. Temp file usage and the threading model are easily customized.

Rangers' Darvish, Cardinals' Freese win fan vote
Posted: 6:21 PM Jul 5, 2012
Reporter: Associated Press
CHICAGO -- Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish and St. Louis Cardinals third baseman David Freese are headed to the All-Star game after fans voted them into Tuesday's showcase in Kansas City.
Darvish, 10-5 with a 3.59 ERA, is the eighth Rangers player on the AL team managed by Texas' Ron Washington. He beat out four other pitchers: Chicago's Jake Peavy, Baltimore's Jason Hammel, Kansas City's Jonathan Broxton and the Angels' Ernesto Frieri.
Freese emerged from an NL field that included Atlanta outfielder Michael Bourn, Nationals rookie outfielder Bryce Harper and Arizona second baseman Aaron Hill. Freese is batting .285 with 13 homers.
Atlanta's Chipper Jones had been in the running before he was named as an injury replacement for Matt Kemp.
The online balloting for the final spots ended Thursday.

» Applied Gerontology Admission and Degree Requirements
Applied Gerontology Admission and Degree Requirements
Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the Graduate School. A grade point average of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0, a combined score of approximately 250 (using the current scale) on the verbal and quantitative sections of the Graduate Record Examination (G.R.E.), and/or approval of the program director for gerontology are required for acceptance into the program.
Degree Requirements
The minimum requirement for the degree is 36 hours, including a core of gerontology courses, a research experience, and electives in related areas.
The course work for the degree in applied gerontology may be completed in approximately one and half years or it may be combined with another degree program in order to obtain a double major. For example, a student in an M.A. program in adult education, biology, counseling, physical education, wellness management, etc. may take the core course requirement in gerontology and then apply related electives and internship experience to a degree in applied gerontology.
The master's degree in applied gerontology is an interdisciplinary degree that provides the student with a broad-based overview of aging, as well as more focused training in a selected area of study. Faculty from wellness, health sciences, educational psychology, sociology, counseling, physical education, nutrition, nursing, and other disciplines teach a variety of courses on special issues in aging and in serving an older population.
Educational programs are focused on three levels: exposure to information about processes of aging and the needs of an aging society for a wide variety of students and the general public; proficiency training of professionals and other service providers who are involved with serving older adults; and professionals who are planning to specialize in geriatric services.
Research programs center on two aspects of gerontology: interdisciplinary studies of the processes of aging and applied research regarding the delivery of services and program evaluation.
The faculty provides consultation, training, and other resources for agencies serving an older clientele and for community groups of older adults.
In addition to the M.A. degree in applied gerontology, several other options are available for the study of gerontology, including an undergraduate minor, a graduate minor, an undergraduate certificate, a graduate certificate. A curriculum advisor is available to discuss these options with any interested student.

1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup raisins
2 eggs
1 tablespoon caraway seed
I found this recipe for irish soda bread to be very easy to prepare and very tasty. I added my own variation by using a combination of golden and dark rasins along with a very small amount of lemon rind. My whole family just loved it!
This dough (or should I say batter?) is way too wet. I had to add almost an extra cup of flour. The recipe says to pour dough onto a floured board and shape into a loaf. After chasing the batter around the board for five minutes while adding flour to give it body, I was finally able to "pick it up" and put it in the pan. I will try this recipe again but cut back on the buttermilk.

Very delicious, I used golden raisins and also added 1/4 cup of dried cranberries, which made it beautiful too. Nice texture and crunchy crust.
The bread was excellent. The hit of the dinner. Dense but not tough at all. Made without raisins or caraway and was still excelent. Also good dipped in coffee.
Too much wet stuff. No soda. It's soda bread. I changed baking powder for soda, used half the buttermilk and it was better.
I love this recipe. It is the best one I've tried. It's sweet and delicous. I've tried over recipes and they haven't tasted the same.
quick,easy and delicous. served at my resturant on ST. Patricks Day and customers loved it. Left overs made great french toast.
My recommendation is to skip the part about putting it onto the board. Scoop this right from bowl into the springform pan. It was delicious, moist, fast, and very easy.

Making lip-syncing simple
Learn how to speak easy by going through the simple steps of lip-syncing using with animator Tom Baker
Character animation is a pain. It's time consuming, difficult and - unless you are capable of knocking out quality that's at least as good as that of TV's big-budget, mega-crewed cartoons - it's hard to impress anybody.
Or, rather, it would be was it not for one saving grace: lip-syncing. Lip-syncing is one of the most satisfying things to learn in animation because it both impresses people and it's easy. It's great when someone says, "Wow, how did you make it talk?"
And what's better is that lip-syncing using Flash is even easier. This tutorial is purely an exercise in lip-syncing using the Flash technique that I learnt while at Cartoon Network. I've set up the character, body animation and background, so all you need to do to complete the film is to make the little professor talk! In case you get lost at any stage, I have also included a finished project file, which you can use as reference (chemistry_todayfin.fla).

Wave goodbye to free Internet TV
They said Hulu was going to save the film studios and television networks from repeating the mistakes of the music industry.
They said the video portal would help turn the Internet into a new means of distributing the most popular TV shows and movies for less money than cable and offer viewers much more control over where and when they watch.
But the latest news out of Hollywood seems to indicate that enthusiasm was misplaced, premature, or both. The most recent and most dramatic sign of this came yesterday, when the Fox Network, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., … Read more

Comfy Couch Pet Bed
Comfy Couch Pet Bed
My bulldog loves the bed, but the zipper in the bed came apart shortly after purchase. I tried to fix, but did not work. Am finally going to throw out. I did purchase another one that seemed to be working fine, but noticed today the zipper on this bed is also starting to split. Too much money for this to happen

Dog Heaven
My Dog loves his new bed. I did need to reorder a larger size but the return was painless. My dog sleeps longer and perfers his bed over the couch, which works for me.

Comfy and Strong
Our Golden Retriever, Cooper, is very happy and so comfortable in his new bed. The matching pillow is a plus, although we must keep him for chewing on it. The bed seems strong enough to withstand his desire to chew! He loves snuggling in his new bed which keeps him warm and safe. Would highly recommend this Comfy Couch Pet Bed!

My dog loves his new Frontgate bed. It is a truy comfy couch for my beloved pet.

A bit bummed
I absolutely love the actual bed, however the color is way lighter then it appeared online and in catalogue. Immediately I went to try and switch but the 3 colors that match my home were now discontinued. The remaining colors would not work for me. I was going to grab dark grey or sage. I ordered platinum and it might as well be a light beige. Very comfy but again a bit irrated that I can't get a color that works better for us.
March 3, 2014
Great bed!!
I have a bed like this one, but I was looking for something a bit higher, so he could see out the window.
In the old bed, he would sit upright in it, so he could see everything. Now, in his new bed, he can lounge in his bed and see out.
What a life!
The grey color is beautiful, a very light grey, and the free engraved pillow is awesome!
Definitely worth the money.
February 28, 2014
Love it!!
Purchased this bed on the advice of my sister who has purchased 2. Her dogs love it and mine do too! They stay off the bed and the sofa and snuggle in to their own bed often. I am thinking about getting a second one so the dogs don't have to share.

Thank you for your interest in Frontgate. The XL Comfy Couch Pet Bed is recommended for dogs up to 100 lbs. We would not recommend having two 80 lb. dogs in the XL bed at the same time.Answer:

Replacing Comfy Couch Cushion

I have a Golden Retriever puppy who loves to chew. Would this bed hold up to chewing?
1 year, 1 month ago
It depends, some puppies prefer chewing harder things to get rid of the pain or discomfort of teething. If you believe your dog is biting pillows, clothes, and other softer stuff, then I would wait until he gets a little bigger, and doesn't have the necessity to chew. Also buy him chewing toys that will distract him from chewing other things (they are made of a soft plastic that won't be easy to break, so it's safe) This bed is very durable (resistant & the fabric doesn't get ugly or the color doesn't fade with time), but can be sensitive for your situation. Puppy teeth are usually very sharp and can easily tear this bed. Another option is to buy it, and if you see him interested in chewing the bed, take it away, and store it for later. Finally, some dogs usually, do not destroy their OWN bed, because they know is where they sleep and rest! Overall I do recommend this bed for any dog!! Totally worth it!1 year, 1 month ago
I would say no. I have this for my Maltese and just love it! I also have a Golden and would recommend a canvas material for her. It worked for me :)Carolyn

I purchased this bed over a year ago and the zipper is broken. I was wondering if it would be possible to only purchase the cover
1 year, 2 months ago
We appreciate your interest in this item. Unfortunately, we do not sell the covers for this bed separately. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.Answer:
You would have to contact Frontgate via phone. They are extremely nice, I think they can have a solution for you. However, since it has been over a year, I found it difficult that they will send you a new one. However, you can go to the product link and maybe order the Nano-Tex Cover for Comfy Couch, it's just a cover for the original piece (pillow) in the couch.The zipper is no big issue you can also go to a local dressmaker, and have them fix it for you maybe with a new zipper.1 year, 1 month ago
These beds are made by Bowsers Pet Beds and if Frontgate cannot help you, then contact Bowsers directly, as they do sell the covers separately and in a lot of different colors not currently offered by Frontgate.10 months ago
I took the bed apart to wash - how do I put the tubes back in and in what order?
1 year, 2 months ago
When I did this I started with the bottom tube. I put that in, then the top one and then the base of the bed. It seemed to work well. I'm pretty sure you can put it back any way you choose. The tubes are different sizes, just make sure to put the right one in the right place.1 year, 2 months ago
larger tube goes on the bottom, shorter one on top. I found out that it is easier to put the larger one in first then the smaller one.1 year, 1 month ago

I purchased this bed from you several years ago. My dog is now 10 years old and she sinks into it and has a harder time getting up than she used to, but she still likes the "comfy bed". My question is if I were to buy a new one of these beds, is there more support with the foam or are they the same as they were years ago, and therefore I would have to order a more ortho type bed. Just wondering because my dog really likes her bed but I feel she would be more comfortable with some more support. Thank you.
Length of Ownership: 6-10 years
1 year, 3 months ago
We appreciate your interest in this item. Unfortunately, this foam core of this bed has not been changed to provide more support. We do offer our L.A. Dog Ortho Bolster, item 51791, which offers more orthopedic support for your dog.
My dog loves this bed. Now we want one for our nursery, but have gone to great lengths to make it a non-toxic environment for our infant. Is the microvelvet or orthopedic foam cushion treated with any flame retardants?

appropriate bed size for my dog
Hello, I have a golden retriever who loves to lounge and stretch her legs. She weights 55lbs and is 40" long (nose to rear end) I am worried the large would be goo small for her, would the extra large fit her best? Thank you
Length of Ownership: < 1 year
1 year, 5 months ago
Thank you for your interest in the Comfy Couch Pet Bed. The size will depend on how large your dog is and how they tend to sleep. The large bed is designed for dogs in the 45-80lb range. The inner dimensions of the large where the dog lays is 26"W x 19"D. Of course, if your dog tends to stretch out in the bed to sleep, the inner dimensions of the XL are 30"W x 23"D.Answer:
The extra large is better. We also have a golden retriever, 65 lbs, the extra large is perfect.Length of Ownership: 2-5 years
1 year, 5 months ago
I would go for the X Large. That is the size I bought for my 30 lb dobe pup (who will grow) and it was the right choice.1 year, 4 months ago
My German Shepherd is 107lb and 55inch when he lays on his side. Ordered the XL and fits if he is just lays normal (upright), but he likes to lay his head on the arms so it's perfect! Would go with the XL because the bed is so comfy and soft.Length of Ownership: < 1 year

Want to order this bed in brown with two matching pillows. I dont see where I can order the extra in the same exact color as the one that comes with i
1 year, 7 months ago
We appreciate your interest in this item. Additional bone pillows can be ordered using item number 35333. Unfortunately these pillows are not available in the same color as the pillow that comes with the bed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. However, the pillow that comes with the bed, will have cording that is the same color as the bed. So if you were to purchase the chocolate color bed, the pillow that comes with it would have chocolate color cording. You could purchase a chocolate color pillow, which would have the neutral color (as the original pillow) cording. While this would not be a match, it would coordinate very well.Answer:
Pillow is a waste, my dogs never use them, my golden retriever carries it around once in a while, but doesn't use it to sleep, that's for sure.Length of Ownership: 2-5 years

Cyclones: 84 Hogeyes: 74 I'm uncomfortable feeling this confident and I hate losing to them. the things I'm wary of in my opinion: + Marble can go 1-on-1 with anybody on with anybody on our team, including Babb. + White can dunk and has higher vertical vs Naing, Gibson (can Naing dunk? pretty sure I saw Gibson do it...once). + Iowa is scrappy on the offensive boards, and lose balls. they get a lot of junk baskets. we need a tough front court / reobunding game; we've been inconsistent in this area. + Iowa can make runs + Fred already is a better coach than Fran the Man
Are you a member?
Lafester scores 54 in a game for the ages. Wait, did I say Lafester, I meant Tyrus scores 32 to lead ISU to an 8 point beating of the Hoks.
Cyclones - 84 Sqawks - 68
I would actually feel worse about this game if we completely rolled Florida Gulf Coast. But with how poorly we played last night, I think our guys come out focused and with something to prove. Iowa State-79 Iowa-67 All that has me worried is a possible off shooting night, and turnovers. Our intensity will match anybody we play.
Iowa by 10. We can't buy a bucket in that crappy venue.

I suppose you can always aspire to be the next Paul Blart. This has nothing to do with this thread.
Iowa is terrible on defense and on the boards. ISU rolls 88-70
Carver is not a home court advantage. ISU 81 UI 65
No predictions, but I would like to see the focused, intense Anthony Booker that we saw in most conference games last year. KL has taken some heat this year (rightly so), but Booker needs to step his game up.
I am just hoping for a track meet................Clones 88, Hawks 72. ISU just needs to play some tough defense and get out and hit the 3's.
I like: Babb defending Marble Im ok with Ejim defending White - as long as Melvin doesn't get into foul trouble, White should kill us. He will lead scoring for the Hawks though. I'm also ok with Booker/ Percy defending Woodbury. Push him off the block boys. IF: Korie can frustrate Gesell IF: we shoot well. IF: we continue to win the rebounding battle iF: we limit turnovers IF: we make speed our advantage - I don't believe that Iowa is quick enough to guard our guys when moving the ball, penetrate and kick. Then I feel pretty good about this. Make no mistake - Iowa is perfectly capable of beating us by 10 in Carver.

Actually I thought watching Gulf Coast last night, that they reminded me of Iowa style (long and deliberate on offense), except they played faster, more athletic, and shot the three better. (Of course I was wearing my cardinal and gold shades while watching.) I still think we win by double digits, a game kinda feels like last year to me where were up by 18-20 most the second half and Iowa hits some late shots in garbage time to make it look closer. From the games I have seen, Iowa just doesn't shoot it consitantly enough to keep up with ISU. Cardinal and Gold 86-75.
All Time Record: Iowa Leads 41-23 Last 15 Meetings: Iowa State Leads 8-7 Iowa State has a 3 game winning streak and that ties the longest streak. Time to make it 4 in a row! ISU 88 - UI 73

Quick Guide to Green TI's
City Green Building has developed a suite of Quick Guides to Tenant Improvements (TI) to help project managers, owners, interior designers and architects apply sustainable building practices to commercial remodel projects. The guides work equally well for new interior construction or renovation. Each guide includes an overview of a topic, key benefits and strategies, quick facts, a case study, an implementation checklist, additional resources and potential LEED-CI credits. By incorporating multiple strategies from a number of TI guides, owners, tenants and occupants alike will accrue the wide reaching benefits of a high-performance green project.
TI Guides at a Glance
00 Introduction — Read about strategies to help you sustainably improve your next tenant improvement project no matter what the size. | ||
01 Green Lease — A green lease can enhance recruitment, lower healthcare expenses, yield productivity gains and lower operating costs. | ||
02 Connecting with Nature — Interiors with natural elements foster positive connections between people and enhance physical and mental well being. | ||
03 Adaptable Design — "Future-proof" office space by providing for the integration and adaptability of various building systems. | ||
04 Office Equipment — Using energy efficient office equipment reduces energy costs, ambient noise, air-conditioning loads, electromagnetic fields and greenhouse gas emissions while extending equipment life. | ||
05 HVAC: Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning — Energy efficient HVAC equipment can reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and utility costs while increasing thermal comfort and improving indoor air quality. | ||
06 Lighting — Energy efficient lighting systems can reduce a significant amount of electrical energy costs while enhancing aesthetic design inside and out. | ||
07 Employee Well-Being — The quality of the indoor environment directly affects employee well-being and performance. | ||
08 Healthy Building Materials — A healthy workplace is built, furnished and operated to minimize exposure to sub-stances harmful to human health. | ||
09 Regional Resources — Purchasing locally supports our local economy and reduces transportation costs and emissions. | ||
10 Construction Waste Management — Many construction, demolition and land-clearing waste materials have high value for salvage and reuse. |
Green building design practices and management principles can reduce building operating expenses, increase worker productivity and asset value. The improved indoor air quality found in most green buildings contributes to occupant health and well-being, often leading to lower staff-related overhead costs such as sick days and health-insurance premiums.
Green building design and materials can also reduce energy and water consumption and the release of toxins and greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to climate change. By raising environmental awareness among occupants and visitors, green building design frequently contributes to a more vibrant and connected community.
Quick Fact
Given the average commercial lease of five years, modern office buildings typically have at least one interior space renovation underway at all times.

Sweet Potatoes Glazed with Molasses, Pecans and Bourbon
- 1 stick unsalted butter, quartered
- 3/4 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 cup bourbon
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 large sweet potatoes, par cooked and cut into 2-inch dice
- 3/4 cup toasted chopped pecans
Cook's Note: The potatoes can either be roasted or boiled to par-cook them.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine the butter, molasses, brown sugar and cayenne in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until smooth, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the bourbon and cook for 2 minutes to allow alcohol to burn out. Season with salt and pepper.
Put the potatoes in a large baking dish, pour the molasses mixture over and toss to coat. Roast in the oven, stirring a few times, until the potatoes are cooked through and glazed, about 20 minutes. Remove to a platter and top with the pecans.
Alternatively, this can be done in a large saute pan: Melt the butter, molasses, brown sugar and cayenne over medium heat. Add the bourbon and let the alcohol cook out. Add the potatoes and cook until glazed over medium-high heat. Transfer to a platter and top with the pecans.

R E V I E W In Famine Ghost, O'Keefe captures the raw details of the 1845-1850 Great Irish Famine, building our awareness of the true drama through photos, newspaper clips and drawings. It is a chilling story of the one million who died in Ireland and two million who emigrated. As O'Keefe says: "Though there are no exact figures on either mortality or emigration, we know that Ireland had a pre-Famine population of eight million. According to a modern scholar, Norita Fleming, "it is commonly accepted that from Ireland to Grosse Ile, in the ocean graveyard, bodies could form a continuous chain of burial crosses" (Appendix in Whyte 129). By 1911 the figure was four million, half of the number before the potato blight. So why write a novel about a tragedy that is over 150 years old? Because it happened and should no longer stay hidden."

Justin Bieber turns 19 today ... so he walked down the streets of London in half his birthday suit, lamely showing off his baby abs and his ultra-cool training boxers.
The drop-crotch pants, and the Vanilla Ice fade haircut was just too cool for school. The only saving grace ... he wasn't wearing that stupid hat.
The pic was snapped after his performance, as he walked to his hotel.
Someone needs to hang this kid upside down from a balcony.
Suge, are you listening?
You suck TMZ and a I can't stand Bieber. Suggesting what you did? You all toe the line of criminal constantly. I hope I'm still around the day that it catches up to you.
ANYONE can seem like they have talent when they use autotune and are going after the tween market. Get real. This kid is a freaking idiot. He only know or thinks he's cool because the 15 year old retards around him tell him so. To the rest of us, he's a tool.

The assignee for this patent, patent number 8623908, is
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "The present invention relates to novel therapeutic methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treating conditions associated with inhibition of interleukin-converting enzyme (ICE).
"Cytokines play an important role in a regulation of the immune system. Several studies indicate that variations in cytokine expression are associated with disease activity in immune mediated or inflammatory disorders, including autoimmune disorders (
"The sepsis syndrome is an excessive, acute inflammatory response to a variety of noxious insults, particularly bacterial infection. The role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of sepsis is complex since both deficient and excessive immune responses have been associated with this syndrome. Pro-inflammatory cytokines are, on the one hand, required locally for effective anti-bacterial effector mechanisms (J. Immunol. 145: 3762, 1990; Nature 381: 75, 1996; and Infect. Immun. 64: 5211, 1996), but on the other hand they are potentially toxic when secreted into the circulation (Nature 330: 662, 1987;
"IL-1.beta. is crucial for the induction of fever and acute-phase response during local tissue damage; in systemic inflammation it contributes to inflammatory reaction (
"The IL-1 family of cytokines, which include IL-18 and IL-1.beta., are key hormones of the immune system. Both IL-18 and IL-1.beta. are expressed and produced by various types of cells from hematopoetic and nonhematopoetic lineages, such as dendritic cells, monocytes/macrophages, microglia cells, keratinocytes, intestinal epithelial cells, etc. Recent studies emphasize the pathophysiological role of IL-18 and IL-1.beta. in a variety of neurodegenerative, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, such as inflammation, hemaopoiesis and wound healing (Immunol. Today 7: 45-56, 1986).
"Interleukin-18 is an early signal in the development of T-lymphocyte helper type 1 (Th1) responses. It acts together with IL-12 to induce various cytokines, including IFN-.gamma., to activate Th1 cells. IFN-.gamma. is in turn responsible for inducing production of the soluble receptor protein, IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), a native down-regulator of IL-18 activity, which specifically binds IL-18 and neutralizes its biological activity in vitro and in vivo (Immunity 10: 127, 1999).
"IL-18 and IL-1.gamma. are expressed and produced in an inactive form, which requires activation by protease enzymes. The protease enzymes are divided into four families, (serine-, metallo-, aspartic- and cystein-proteases) based on their catalytic residues and mechanism of action. Whereas serine proteases utilize a nucleophilic hydroxyl of the serine residue and aspartic and metalloproteases posses carboxylates as active functionalities, the cysteine proteases have an active-site thiol-nucleophile.
"The caspase enzymes (Cysteine Aspartic-Specific Proteases) are a family of intracellular cysteine endopepetidases, which cleave their substrates after aspartate residues (Ann. Rev. Immunol. 17: 781-828, 1999). The caspases are divided into two classes, based on the lengths of their N-terminal prodomains. Caspases-1,-2,-4,-5,-8, and -10 have long prodomains; and caspases-3,-6,-7, and -9 have short prodomains.
"Caspase 1, which is also known and referred to herein, interchangeably, as interleukin-.beta.-converting enzyme (ICE), is expressed as a proenzyme of 45 kD in many tissues (
"ICE therefore plays an important role in physiological processes mediated by IL-1.beta. and IL-18.
"Various tellurium compounds have been described in the art as having immunomodulating properties. A particularly effective family of tellurium-containing compounds is taught, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,752,614; 4,761,490; 4,764,461 and 4,929,739, whereby another effective family is taught, for example, in a recently filed U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/610,660, which are all incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. The immunomodulating properties of this family of tellurium-containing compounds is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,962,207, 5,093,135, 5,102,908 and 5,213,899, which are all incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
"One of the most promising compounds described in these patents is ammonium trichloro(dioxyethylene-O,O')tellurate, which is also referred to herein and in the art as AS101. AS101, as a representative example of the family of tellurium-containing compound discussed hereinabove, exhibits antiviral (Nat. Immun. Cell Growth Regul. 7(3):163-8, 1988; AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses. 8(5):613-23, 1992), and tumoricidal activity (Nature 330(6144):173-6, 1987;
"It has been suggested that AS101, as well as other tellurium-containing immunomodulators, stimulate the innate and acquired arm of the immune response. For example, it has been shown that AS101 is a potent activator of interferon (IFN) in mice (
"It has also been demonstrated that AS101 induces the secretion of a spectrum of cytokines, such as IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-.alpha., and that macrophages are one main target for AS101 (Exp. Hematol. 23(13):1358-66, 1995). AS101 was also found to inhibit IL-10 at the m-RNA level, which may cause an increase in IL-12 and IFN-.gamma. (Cell Immunol. 176(2):180-5, 1997;
"Other publications describing the immunomodulation properties of AS101 include, for example, 'The immunomodulator AS101 restores T(H1) type of response suppressed by Babesia rodhaini in BALB/c mice'. Cell Immunol 1998 February; 'Predominance of TH1 response in tumor-bearing mice and cancer patients treated with AS101'. J Natl Cancer Inst 1996 September; 'AS-101: a modulator of in vitro T-cell proliferation'. Anticancer Drugs 1993 June; 'The immunomodulator AS101 administered orally as a chemoprotective and radioprotective agent'. Int J Immunopharmacol 1992 May; 'Inhibition of the reverse transcriptase activity and replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 by AS101 in vitro'. AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses 1992 May; 'Immunomodulatory effects of AS101 on interleukin-2 production and T-lymphocyte function of lymphocytes treated with psoralens and ultraviolet A'. Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed 1992 February; 'Use and mechanism of action of AS101 in protecting bone marrow colony forming units-granulocyte-macrophage following purging with ASTA-Z 7557'. Cancer Res 1991 Oct. 15; 'The effect of the immunomodulator agent AS101 on interleukin-2 production in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) induced in mice by a pathogenic anti-DNA antibody'. Clin Exp Immunol 1990 March; 'Toxicity study in rats of a tellurium based immunomodulating drug, AS-101: a potential drug for AIDS and cancer patients'. Arch Toxicol 1989; 'The biological activity and immunotherapeutic properties of AS-101, a synthetic organotellurium compound'. Nat Immun Cell Growth Regul 1988; and 'A new immunomodulating compound (AS-101) with potential therapeutic application'. Nature 1987 Nov.
"AS-101 has also been shown to have protective effects against lethal and sublethal effects of irradiation and chemotherapy (Blood 85: 1555, 1995; J. Nat. Cancer Inst. 88: 1276, 1996; In.
"Moreover, AS101 can inhibit activity of STAT3 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3) via IL-10 inhibition (Cancer Res. 64: 1843, 2004). When binding of IL-10 to the IL-10 receptor occurs, receptor-associated Janus activated kinase (Jak) tyrosin kinases are activated and stimulate downstream signaling. One of the main transcription factors being activated is STAT3. Activated, phosphorylated STAT3 is translocated to the nucleus and regulates specific gene expression (J. Immunol. 155: 1079, 1995). One of the target genes for STAT3 is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (Clin. Cancer Res. 8: 945, 2002; Oncogene 21: 2000, 2002; Oncogene 22: 319, 2003). This factor recently was found to be responsible for IL-18 induction (Cancer Res. 64: 304, 2004). Moreover, recently it was found that IL-1.beta. alone (Cancer Sci. 94: 244, 2003) and together with oncostatin-M (Oncogene 22: 8117, 2003) induces up to sevenfold higher VEGF expression due to their mutual influence on STAT3. The ability of AS101 to down-regulate STAT3, may contribute to the overall inhibitory effect.
"Furthermore, it was found that although AS101 shows no inhibition of serine, metallo, and aspartic proteases, it inhibits cysteine proteases, via a catalytic thiol oxidation (Inorg. Chem. 37: 1704-1712, 1998).
"In addition to its immunomodulatory effect, AS101 is also characterized by low toxicity. Toxicity tests have shown that LD50 values in rats following intravenous and intramuscular administration of AS101 are 500-1000 folds higher than the immunologically effective dose.
"Hence, while the prior art teaches various primary and secondary roles of tellurium-containing compounds such as AS101 as immunomodulators, it fails to teach the involvement of tellurium-containing compounds in inhibition of caspase-1/IL-1.beta.-converting enzyme (ICE).
"In view of the findings that a myriad of medical conditions is associated with ICE, there is a widely recognized need for and it would be highly advantageous to have, novel agents that are capable of inhibiting ICE and hence can be beneficially utilized in the treatment of such conditions."
In addition to obtaining background information on this patent, NewsRx editors also obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent: "The present invention teaches methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treating conditions associated with inhibition of interleukin-converting enzyme (ICE).
