- Classic guide to Spanish cooking
- Contains wealth of recipes
Published in a sturdy hardcover format, 'The Foods and Wines of Spain' is the basic text on Spanish cooking. It is a classic, a one of a kind cookbook to introduce you to the wealth of savory and enjoyable flavors that make up the uniquely Spanish expression of healthy Mediterranean cuisine.
Penelope Casas shares with us her own enchantment with the Spanish people and their love of good living. She gives us the origins of the dish, bits of local lore, evocation of towns and countryside, and descriptions of little known out-of-the-way eating places, as well as the gourmet restaurants.
'The definitive book on Spanish cooking. To my mind she has produced a jewel to be added to the crown of culinary literature.' -- Craig Claiborne

"An oldie-but-goody. One of the finest books ever published in the US on Spanish Cooking. A definitive publication that is timeless."
"I love this book so much, I will have to buy a new one because the spine is wearing out. Ms. Casas really knows her stuff, and it's the perfect introduction to Spanish cuisine."

When Food And Photography Meet
Jan 31st
Posted by admin in Photography
Photographing food is probably one of the most challenging kinds of photography out there. It is considered difficult by most professional food photographers because there is a time constraint in the whole photo shoot.
And since the marketability of the food itself depends primarily on how it is seen in print, food photographers should be well trained and skilled in order to come up with satisfying results. More >

We know you're proud of that projector. However, you probably don't want it right in the middle of the living room floor. It isn't always easy to ceiling-mount that piece of equipment. Draper is hoping to help with that task, with its new Credenza Projector Lift.
The Credenza allows you to place the projector in almost any cabinet or other piece of furniture. When you want it, press a button and the Credenza lifts the projector up for perfectly placed use. Once you're finished, that same button can put the projector back in its hiding place.
Draper says that the lift mechanism can be fitted to different shelf sizes, as well as to accommodate different projectors. From there, it can be controlled via a wall switch or remote control.
Draper is currently showing the Credenza Projector Lift at CEDIA 2013 in Denver, Colorado. Contact your local Draper dealer for pricing and additional information.

I saw the Pearly King and Princess of St Pancras with their pearly taxi at Leadenhall Market, knees up muvva Braaaahn, etc. I certainly wouldn't call the very sparse selection of food and drink stalls a "festival" - the "London" beer on offer was Young's which is now brewed in Bedford after Young's sold the Ram Brewery in Wandsworth for redevelopment.

Was there any publicity for the Trafalgar Square event? I was in the Regent St/Oxford St/Soho area on Monday and different parts of the City on Thursday and Saturday and I saw no posters or leaflets for this event anywhere, nothing in the Tube stations (St George's Day events under Livingstone had flyers and posters at Tube stations and tourist sites) - I was especially keeping an eye out, too.
I deliberately walked through Trafalgar Square on Thursday and there was no indication whatsoever that a concert would be taking place on Saturday.

A new report from the Virginia Department of Health casts September in an unusual light. September has more births and fewer deaths than any other month. More babies are born on Sept. 5 than any other day, and fewer people die on Sept. 9 than any other day. It's as if life calls a truce during September, a cease fire from all the usual complications.

* The day of the week when most births occurred: Wednesday. It's also the day when most deaths occurred.
* The day when fewest births occurred: Monday. Fewest deaths occurred on Friday.
* The deadliest month: March.
* Biggest baby: 13.4 pounds
* Youngest mother: 11
* Oldest mother: 55
* Youngest father: 13
* Oldest father: 74
* Most popular girl's name: Emma
* Most popular boy's name: William
* Life expectancy for white females: 81
* Life expectancy for black females: 78
* Life expectancy for white males: 76
* Life expectancy for black males: 70
* Top five causes of death: Heart disease, cancer, stroke, lung disease, unintentional injury

- GreatamarieVIPDined on 10/17/2014Dining experience was great. It can get cold on the patio at night and in the morning so I recommend bringing a jacket. The heaters do not always work. I didn't love the seabass. I have had better.Special Features:
- WowMichaelVIPDined on 9/6/2014Great place. They took care of us. They really made our anniversary specialSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovechocolateVIPDined on 9/3/2014Had breakfast here every morning, service is great! Esteban exceptional!! Ask for him. The a la carte menu selection is good, never had the buffet. Turkey bacon crisp delish, coffee great, whole wheat crepes good, fruit nice and fresh. Surprised they don't have any gluten free options like cookies or muffins and I was told the gf pancakes were not good. The gf French toast was not to my liking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous brunch!Honest1VIPDined on 8/22/2014Motif offers the best brunch in OC. It is about $100 per person which is very pricy however anything you could ever dream of eating is offered- and prepared very well. Omelets, waffles, sushi, fish, desserts, meats, multiple salads, it is truly an experience! The location can't be beat- St. Regis is a beautiful hotel and Motif overlooks the property, golf course and ocean. We have dined at Motif twice for dinner, too, as we stayed at St. Regis on two different occasions. I do not recommend Motif for dinner. The atmosphere feels flat and the food is much better at Stonehill Tavern which is on the same property. I give five stars across the board for the brunch and three stars for the dinner.Special Features:
- Romantic eveningStarwood58Dined on 8/22/2014Thoroughly enjoyed our evening of celebration for the 2 of us. Went with the recommendation of our waiter on the featured wine for the evening. It was wonderful. Had the black cod and it was cooked perfectly. The dessert was a molten cake and was amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Avoid this restuarantComfortFoodieVIPDined on 8/18/2014We ate here with the kids for dinner one night when it was getting late and we wanted to eat on property. It turned out to be a terrible dining experience. First of all, the restuarnt is taking advantage of little kids who order the childrens buffet which consists of COLD corn dogs and fries that have been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. The other food was OK, but it took forever to arrive even though the restuarnt was half empty. The servers were pleasant but ineffective in providing acceptable service. While you may be tempted to eat here for the conveninece of it, Motif is a restuarant to avoid if at all possib
- Excellent food and locationOc2005Dined on 8/18/2014Enjoyed a lunch date with friends. Would go back again. Food was good, service good, and pretty views.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Want romantic dinner-look elsewhereJytfVIPDined on 8/15/2014Kids running around everywhere!! The food was pretty good and the views fantastic but there are kids running everywhere so it was less than ideal for my wife and I.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/11/2014Nice quite restaurant at the St. Regis Resort. Service was outstanding.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/9/2014Comfortable restaurant, great service. Food was adequate at best. Not horrible, but not very good.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/8/2014Pretty restaurant with comfortable seating. Service was awesome. Food wasn't horrible, but it wasn't very good.
- The following 110 reviews are from the Motif Restaurant at the St. Regis Resort Monarch Beach reviews archive.
- This meal pales to previous explindaVIPDined on 7/8/2014Unfortunately it pales in comparison to the previous night. The catch of the day was pan seared scallops (which is a shame as i planned to order the sea bass which was offered on perious night ) so instead, i went with the burger. i asked for medium rare, but the burger came out WELL DONE and DRY. server didnt even ask if i wanted cheese (upsell?..) my partner ordered the salmon with pasta. it was good but also more charred/dry than expected. the server (lady, blonde, thin) was not very attentative. Miguel (server on night prior) was phenomenal! to top it off, we had to endure a group of screaming adolescents/teens running through our meal. (we were seated at the corner table, at the top of the stairs. where were the parents?!Special Features:
- great ambiance, best kept secretrobinocVIPDined on 6/28/2014We always like to come here when we have chance. The restaurant never seems to be busy for dinner, which is great, because you can always get a nice table with a view. I think people who stay at the hotel tend to either go to Stonehill Tavern for dinner (which we do not care for) or off the property. However, the food is excellent at Motif and you can't beat the views- if you dine outside, as we always do. There are heat lamps if you are cold. They use the freshest ingredients and the good presentations are wonderful. For what you get, the prices are not that bad. I think it's a more romantic place due the views and setting, but I usually also see kids there dining with their families, so it works for all.Special Features:
- Perfect dressy casual dining spot.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/21/2014Service is the best I've experience in a long time. Good is fantastic!!! We will definitely go back and is highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExquisiteluvavlfoodDined on 6/19/2014Food, service and setting all top notch. A lovely and memorable evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous and DelishLuv2GetWaitedOnDined on 6/7/2014I had seen the St Regis on TV and it did not disappoint. First of all, the employees are all so friendly and welcoming. We were directed to the restaurant and offered a lovely seat outside. Umbrellas were made available and placement adjusted for optimum shade. The view of thee ocean is gorgeous. Our wait staff was attentive, professional and delightful. So sincere. You can tell they take pride in their work. We enjoyed a wonderful cobb salad and delicious roast beef sandwich. And celebrated with a divine cocktail, the California Dream. How appropo! Afterwards we explored the grounds where a wedding was being set up. The swimming pools looked inviting. The gift shops were fun, too. We plan to come to stay next time and spa!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BreakfastLovingtheBeachDined on 5/17/2014I was disappointed this trip because the coffee was luke warm twice while dining and my friend had to send her food back because it wasn't prepared the way she ordered it. This meant I had to wait to eat out of politeness which resulted in my food getting cold. The servers were exceptional which made up for the issue and as always, it is a beautiful place to enjoy breakfast.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 50thanniversaryDined on 5/10/2014This was our 50th anniversary dinner with our 2 children and spouses and setting was spectacular. WE walked in the garden behind and that was wonderful and so was the outside seating. We were inside which was also very beautiful. The menu suited our family perfectly and the service was quick and food perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just okay.BlondieDined on 3/24/2014Good service. Okay food. No ambience. It's just a big room with tables. We had breakfast at the same restuarant and they were dragging tables and chairs around while we ate. There are much better places to eat in Laguna!
- Liked it a lototis1Dined on 12/18/2013Beautiful location. Food very good. Service very attentive and professional. The experience made our special occasion all the more special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cold and averageAllanah2000VIPDined on 12/4/2013Though the service was good the food was no better than an average Tourist trap restaurant for a 5 star hotel they really must get this restaurant sorted.
- Motif ... Never againTonyDined on 10/12/2013Food is mediocre. Service is horrendous, you get appetizers, salads and main course all at the same time. Don't be surprised if you see some hotel guests walking in with their bathrobes.
- Leaves much to be desiredGraemeDined on 10/4/2013Came here for my wedding lunch and service, be it reception, wait staff or valet is slower than molasses. Be prepared to wait 20 minutes min for ANYTHING. But I suppose the people dining here are not reading these reviews, so I L keep it shortSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Service!amarieVIPDined on 9/30/2013The Lobster salad is amazing and our fish was cooked perfectly. Service was spot on!Special Features:
- Poor serviceTeruchenkoDined on 9/17/2013I was expected nice service at the restaurant in the Hotel , especially like St. Regis but my image was broken. A service parson is not friendly and she seems not want to work. The restaurant was not totally busy at that time. I think there is not next time at this restaurant.Special Features:
- Doesn't live up to expectationkuitutuDined on 8/27/2013Motif has the potential to be a romantic restaurant with the Romanesque garden next to it but the food and service just didn't match up. The wild mushroom tortellini I had was dry and rubbery. The chef forgot the salt. The sea bass and seafood stew my friends had were equally forgettable. Servers were impersonal and inattentive.
- Great Food, but Slow ServiceDavePDined on 7/27/2013I took a group of clients (9 total) for dinner, and the food was delicious. The service was slow and our server didn't check in very often to make sure we had refills of drinks. It was a little disappointing consdiering that the Motiff is part of the highly rate St Regis Monarch Beach Resort. I will try it again for the food, but it may be more appropriate for groups of 6 or less.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing foodSydneyVIPDined on 7/9/2013Beautiful hotel and ambianc however the food was expensive and disappointingSpecial Features:
- Not a good choice for stay or dininOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/10/2013This is my first time visit this ST. REGIS location. And, definitely is the last time. The food is fair. It's not beside the beach. You can't walk to the beach, a little bit far. They have the transpotation can take you there. But, it's not very comfortable. Inside the MOTIF, there is a bad smell like the kitchen area is pouring all the oil and smoke out. Comparing to Ritz-Carlton, I'll never come to this hotel again. The Ritz-Carlton will always be my first choice. I went there twice and feel better and better.Special Features:
- not what we were expectingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/25/2013Railing blocked ocean view, too many kids with their nannies, go at 7:00 or later for better experienceSpecial Features:
- Excellent Service at DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/13/2013Would have preferred out door dining, but it was beautiful inside as well. Didn't order an appetizer like my husband, but they still brought me a taste of one of their soups. It was excellent and unexpected.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lobster had a bit of ammonia smellOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 5/11/2013At 48 per plate, this was a bummer. The rest of the food and wine was great though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was pretty good, butOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/27/2013Food was pretty good, but the service and view were great. There is a small but nice park next to the resort that you can walk around after lunch/dinner.Special Features:
- The food was delicious andsnickelsDined on 4/23/2013The food was delicious and service was outstanding!Special Features:
- Wait staff could be more attentive.LAFoodVIPDined on 3/1/2013The food was pricey, but pretty good. However, the waitstaff could be a lot more attentive. I had to repeatedly ask for drinks and the more water. For a top resort, the staff appeared poorly motivated and did not care much after your ordered .Special Features:
- Our mid-week birthday celebrationOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 2/13/2013Our mid-week birthday celebration breakfast was lovely. Among the four of us we tried every section of the menu. The server took our questions seriously and made excellent suggestions. The fresh grapefruit was notable--better than our best markets and beautifully presented. I had the chilaquiles and this everyday Mexican dish was a delight--great flavor without too much heat. It was the hit of the table.As far as setting, the room is beautiful although the best morning views can be had from the little cafe.Special Features:
- AvoidOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 12/28/2012Food was poor at best. Fire broke out in kitchen and came into dining room. Staff kept saying no fires but alarms went off as soon as we left. Go to the tavern upstairs its much much better.
- Motif restaurant is #1.OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 12/28/2012Our first experience in the south bay and we were fortunate to have breakfast at motif including brunch on Sunday. The food was top rate and service even better. We had a great table outdoor on the balcony overlooking the resort grounds. We will never forget the wonderful experience.

Virginia Guard helps Union re-enactors cross river, this time around
MORE: Read more news from Fredericksburg
By RUSTY DENNEN
To cross the Rappahannock River for the Battle of Fredericksburg, Union Army engineers used horses, wagons and manpower to carry wooden pontoon boats to the water while Confederate snipers relentlessly picked them off.
Union re-enactors of that Dec. 11, 1862, crossing from Stafford County will have a much easier time today on a floating steel bridge erected by Army National Guard engineers using big trucks, a small fleet of boats and cellphones to communicate.
And no one was taking pot shots at them from the Fredericksburg shore.
"This is definitely a lot different than how they did it during the Civil War," said 1st Lt. Marianne E. Heldmann, commander of the Bowling Green-based 189th Engineer Company, which spent most of Friday moving the bridge sections to a staging area off Ferry Farm below City Dock. It was a combination training opportunity and history encounter.
The unit has a link to the Civil War. Its headquarters component, the 276th Engineer Battalion, traces its lineage back to the Confederate 1st Virginia Regiment, which saw action in Fredericksburg.
It was a strange scene Friday. Modern soldiers with Confederate ties building a bridge for Union re-enactors to attack a Southern city.
Heldmann said it was a great opportunity for the troops.
"This is an important training event for us; we get to work with so many civilian agencies," she said at the staging area at Little Falls Run Landing on the Stafford County shore.
Erecting the bridge sections on a flowing river, she added, is more complicated than doing the job in a lake at Fort A.P. Hill.
About 120 troops from the Caroline County unit gathered at the Little Falls Run landing with Army-green 5-ton trucks loaded with bridge sections and the boats needed to push them upriver to the City Dock.
The Improved Float Bridge components were unloaded at the landing. Each one unfolded into a 22-foot section of bridge as it hit the water. Four bridge boats, brought in from the Bowling Green Armory, guided the sections to a spot in the river where they were connected for the 45-minute trip upstream.
"When you get to the location, you build a few pieces at a time. You pick a side" and get started, said Sgt. Daniel Corbin of Bowling Green.
Early today, they'll build the bridge across the river to a spot on the Fredericksburg shore a few-hundred feet downstream from City Dock.
Onlookers on Friday gathered along the shore on both sides of the river to watch the project.
Among them was Carol Polkinghorne of Fairfax, in town for the weekend with the Dixie Rose Relief Society.
"It's a ladies' aid society, which shows what women and children were doing during the war," she said, standing on the Fredericksburg side. "This weekend, we'll probably be refugees running from Yankees."
On the Stafford side, Union re-enactors, surrounded by a gaggle of spectators, prepared two pontoon-boat replicas specially built to re-create the landing of the 89th New York Infantry Regiment. The replicas will be on display at Ferry Farm.
During the 1862 crossing, the New Yorkers paddled their pontoons across the river, while under fire, gaining a foothold for the floating bridges that followed.
Also helping with the weekend's events are about 30 volunteers with the Virginia Defense Force.
And 75 members of the Company A, 1st Battalion of the 69th Infantry of the Army National Guard of New York will rededicate the Irish Brigade Monument at City Dock.
They will stand alongside members of the Irish Defense Forces. Company A is in Virginia for training at Fort A.P. Hill.

Here at Grazia, we like to spoil you… So here's an exclusive clip of Emily Blunt's new indie flick, Your Sister's Sister.
In the film, released THIS Friday, Emily Blunt plays Iris, who invites best friend Jack (Mark Duplass) to spend a relaxing week at her family's remote island cabin. Jack is still grieving the death of his brother a year ago, and figures a holiday is just what he needs.
It turns out, that's not all he needs. Upon arriving at the house, ahead of Iris, Jack meets her sister Hannah, played by Mad Men's Rosemarie DeWitt (cast at the last minute when original Hannah, Rachel Weisz, had to drop out of the project due to another filming project), who also escaped to the cabin for some peace and quiet. She recently break-up with her long-term girlfriend, and the two commiserate over heavy drinking. Then, hook up. Then try to keep it secret from Iris. Keeping up?
Our exclusive clip shows the moment Iris arrives in the house, after Jack and Hannah have just woken up together. Awkward.
Your Sister's Sister is by the director of indie triumph, Humpday, Lynn Shelton. SHE explores the complexities of interpersonal relationships while gently poking fun at her characters' predicaments. The film won rave reviews at Sundance and Toronto Film Festivals this year.
The script was largely improvised to give it an authentic feel. 'I wrote 20 or 30 per cent of the lines, but for the most part it was improvised,' says Shelton. 'They're not thinking about their close-up, they're thinking about the other actor, That's what's so wonderful about improv and why, although it's so stressful, it's such a satisfying way to work.'
If you ask us, it comes across pretty damn well. Charming, funny and awkward in equal measure. See for yourself.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
It is recommended that DTIC-Dome (dacarbazine) be administered under the supervision of a qualified physician experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
DTIC-Dome Sterile (dacarbazine) is a colorless to an ivory colored solid which is light sensitive. Each vial contains 100 mg of dacarbazine, or 200 mg of dacarbazine (the active ingredient), anhydrous citric acid and mannitol. DTIC-Dome is reconstituted and administered intravenously (pH 3-4). DTIC-Dome is an anticancer agent.
DTIC-Dome is indicated in the treatment of metastatic malignant melanoma. In addition, DTIC-Dome is also indicated for Hodgkin's disease as a secondary-line therapy when used in combination with other effective agents.
Nivolumab First-line in Melanoma: New Standard of Care? Source: Medscape Dermatology Headlines [2014.11.17]The novel immunomodulator nivolumab was superior to chemotherapy with dacarbazine, leading to suggestions that it is time to change the standard of care. Medscape Medical News
A randomised, phase II study of intetumumab, an anti-alphav-integrin mAb, alone and with dacarbazine in stage IV melanoma. [2011.07.26]BACKGROUND: alpha(v) integrins are involved in angiogenesis and melanoma tumourigenesis. Intetumumab (CNTO 95) is a fully human anti-alpha(v)-integrin monoclonal antibody... CONCLUSION: With its favourable safety profile and a nonsignificant trend towards improved OS, intetumumab merits further investigation in advanced melanoma.
Ipilimumab plus dacarbazine for previously untreated metastatic melanoma. [2011.06.30]BACKGROUND: Ipilimumab monotherapy (at a dose of 3 mg per kilogram of body weight), as compared with glycoprotein 100, improved overall survival in a phase 3 study involving patients with previously treated metastatic melanoma. We conducted a phase 3 study of ipilimumab (10 mg per kilogram) plus dacarbazine in patients with previously untreated metastatic melanoma... CONCLUSIONS: Ipilimumab (at a dose of 10 mg per kilogram) in combination with dacarbazine, as compared with dacarbazine plus placebo, improved overall survival in patients with previously untreated metastatic melanoma. The types of adverse events were consistent with those seen in prior studies of ipilimumab; however, the rates of elevated liver-function values were higher and the rates of gastrointestinal events were lower than expected on the basis of prior studies. (Funded by Bristol-Myers Squibb; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00324155.).
Randomized phase II study comparing gemcitabine plus dacarbazine versus dacarbazine alone in patients with previously treated soft tissue sarcoma: a Spanish Group for Research on Sarcomas study. [2011.06.20]PURPOSE: To assess the activity and toxicity of the combination of gemcitabine plus dacarbazine (DTIC) in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) in a randomized, multicenter, phase II study using DTIC alone as a control arm... CONCLUSION: The combination of gemcitabine and DTIC is active and well tolerated in patients with STS, providing in this phase II randomized trial superior progression-free survival and overall survival than DTIC alone. This regimen constitutes a valuable therapeutic alternative for these patients.
Central nervous system failure in melanoma patients: results of a randomised, multicentre phase 3 study of temozolomide- and dacarbazine- based regimens. [2011.06.07]BACKGROUND: This study compared the central nervous system (CNS) metastasis incidence between a temozolomide- and a dacarbazine-based regimen in untreated stage IV melanoma patients... CONCLUSION: The incidence of CNS failures in metastatic melanoma was not significantly reduced and the clinical course was not modified substituting a dacarbazine-based regimen with a temozolomide-based regimen. Patients who developed CNS metastases did not have a worse prognosis than patients progressing in other sites and should not be excluded from new investigational studies.
A phase II multicenter study of ipilimumab with or without dacarbazine in chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced melanoma. [2011.06]OBJECTIVE: Ipilimumab is a fully human, anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) monoclonal antibody that has demonstrated antitumor activity in advanced melanoma. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of ipilimumab alone and in combination with dacarbazine (DTIC) in patients with unresectable, metastatic melanoma... CONCLUSION: Ipilimumab therapy resulted in clinically meaningful responses in advanced melanoma patients, and the results support further investigations of ipilimumab in combination with DTIC.
Dacarbazine and Ipilimumab vs. Dacarbazine With Placebo in Untreated Unresectable Stage III or IV Melanoma [Active, not recruiting]
The purpose of this clinical research study is to examine the safety and effectiveness (how
well the drug works) of two different treatments for patients with melanoma. One treatment
is an investigational compound (a drug that is not currently approved by the United States
Food and Drug Administration [FDA]), know as ipilimumab (also known as MDX-010 or BMS-734016)
together with an approved chemotherapy drug called dacarbazine
Clinical Study Phase II of L19IL2 in Combination With Dacarbazine in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma [Recruiting]
This Phase II clinical study is an open-label, multicenter study of L19IL2 in combination
with Dacarbazine in patients with metastatic melanoma.
The study is divided in two parts: a phase IIa part, designed to establish the recommended
dose (RD) of L19IL2 when administered in combination with a fixed dose of Dacarbazine, as
well as to determine the preliminary tolerability profile; the second phase IIb part
evaluates the objective response rate (ORR) including a randomized study with a fixed dose
of Dacarbazine with or without L19IL2, dosed at the RD determined in phase IIa.
A Trial of ABI-007 Versus Dacarbazine in Previously Untreated Patients With Metastatic Malignant Melanoma [Recruiting]
The main purpose of this research study is to compare the safety, tolerability, and anti
tumor activity of an investigational drug, ABI-007 versus Dacarbazine in patients with
metastatic melanoma who have not previously received chemotherapy. ABI-007 is a new
preparation of the active drug paclitaxel. It contains the same medication as the
prescription chemotherapy drug Abraxane®. Abraxane® is approved by the FDA for the
treatment of metastatic breast cancer after failure of combination chemotherapy for
metastatic disease or relapse within 6 months of adjuvant chemotherapy. Dacarbazine is
approved by the FDA for the treatment of melanoma. In this study, ABI-007 and Dacarbazine
will be tested as therapy for people who have not yet had any cancer treatment for the
diagnosis of metastatic melanoma.
E7080 in Combination With Dacarbazine Versus Dacarbazine Alone as First Line Therapy in Patients With Stage IV Melanoma [Recruiting]
- Phase Ib: To define the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of E7080
administered in combination with dacarbazine.
- Phase II: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of E7080 administered in combination
with dacarbazine, compared with dacarbazine alone.
⢠Phase II: to make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of E7080 administered in
combination with dacarbazine, compared with dacarbazine alone.
Temozolomide Versus Dacarbazine in Stage IV Metastatic Melanoma (Study P03267AM2)(COMPLETED) [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to ascertain if the extended schedule of Temozolomide, which
allows increased doses and potential depletion of the enzyme underlaying resistance, is a
more effective treatment of metastatic melanoma than single agent dacarbazine.

Notorious Hampton, Fla. cleans up act, may continue to exist
The North Florida hamlet of Hampton began making headlines in February when an audit revealed 31 violations of state law; the pulpy bits included city officials discarding public records in a swamp, the punishment of vocal citizens via water shut off, and the over $200k Hampton made from speeding tickets in 2012 despite being only 1 square mile large. Like an angry parent, Florida lawmakers threatened Hampton with dissolution if they didn't clean up their act. Apparently they have, because last week officials called off their quest to end the tiny Bradford County terror.
All it took was the resignation of every sitting Hampton official (a new election will be held in September), the dissolution of the near-twenty member police force, accounting for nearly $160,000 unexplained city expenses, promises to be more responsible civically, and the drafting of a bill that plans to wipe out the notorious speed trap on U.S. 301. The fab four Hamptons credited with turning things around are acting mayor Myrtice McCullough (who took office after previous mayor Barry Layne Moore was arrested for selling oxycontin), city councilman the Reverend Dan Willis, city clerk Amy Davis, and city attorney John Cooper. Rep. Charles Van Zant praised the group's efforts as "yeoman's work."
Good job, Hampton. If you keep your grades up maybe Dad'll let you go with us to Action Park this summer. They've got this one water slide that goes in a full loop!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Sugar!
Facts about Sugar
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Sugar's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Hello, I am Sugar. I am looking for a great home. My foster mom rescued me from the streets. I am HW negative, spayed and up to date with all my shots. I get along with kids and other doggies. I am super sweet, hence my name. I love to go on long walks or cuddle next to you and watch TV. I am 43 lbs. of pure love, crate and house trained. If you can offer me a forever home, please call my foster mommy at 713-416-2118 or e-mail her at email@example.com. Thanks for visiting my page!!
Other Pets at Forgotten Dogs of the 5th Ward Project
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sugar, a Porter Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier for sale in Porter, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier dog from a breeder in Porter.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Porter already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Porter breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Jack Russell Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Porter paves the way for another one to be saved.

Inspired by a photo challenge started by 'oops', my trusty forum member.
The soft appearance you see on this photo is not created my any filters or Photoshop editing. I had only one 550EX there and no decent bouncers (I tried to use Lumiquests as reflectors but they were quite weak in lower light levels), and only one table lamp, so I decided to go around the lack of overall light. I took long exposure flash shots, handheld, so the effect I got was a bit dreamy (if you rocked the camera bit during exposure) and the shine of the brass was enchanced by the slight overexposure and very small aperture.
The flash was diffused though a bottle of brandy (!) to the back of the scene, creating a colored smooth shadow to the back of the frame. The white surface of my kitchen table reflected the shadows nicely.

2008 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Background: Hairdressers are exposed to various irritating chemicals during work which can induce respiratory problems
Objective: Pulmonary function tests and self-reported respiratory symptoms in hair dressers were compare with matched subjects for age and gender in this study.
Methods: The frequency of respiratory symptoms was retrospectively estimated in a sample of 50 female hairdressers using a questionnaire included questions on work-related respiratory symptoms in the past year, allergy, type of irritant chemicals that induce respiratory symptoms, smoking habits and working periods as a hairdresser. Pulmonary function tests were also measured in all participants and an age and smoking habits matched sample of women from the general population as control groups.
Results: A total of 25 (49%) of participants reported work-related respiratory symptoms. Cough (33%) and breathless (29%) were the most common symptoms and only 4% of hairdressers reported wheezing during work. Hairdressers pronounced bleaching powder (23%) and hair spray (8%) as the most irritant chemicals which provoke their respiratory symptoms. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) was less than 80% in 27.5% of hairdressers and was significantly lower than control group (p<0.001). In addition, the mean of FVC, FEV1 and PEF (peak expiratory flow) was significantly lower in hairdressers compared to controls (p<0.05 for both cases).
Conclusion: Hairdressing work was associated with a high frequency of work related respiratory symptoms particularly after exposure to bleaching powder and hair spray. PFT values were also significantly reduced among hairdressers.

This is the summer you stop turning up your nose at okra, the funny-shaped veggie that's overshadowed by the popular kids of the season, like corn and tomatoes. Okra's crazy good for you, with a deliciously fresh, grassy flavor. "Okra is packed with fiber and rich in B vitamins, which can boost energy and even stave off PMS symptoms," says nutritionist Rania Batayneh, author of the forthcoming book The 1:1:1 Diet. To nix okra's gooey texture, roast it, or sauté it with something acidic like tomato or lemon juice. These ideas will win over the naysayers.
1. As Indian-inspired finger food: Toss whole okra with melted coconut oil and roast at 450°F for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt and un sweetened coconut flakes.
2. In a summer stew: Sauté a small chopped onion in olive oil. Add in 2 large chopped tomatoes and their juices, 1 cup sliced okra, 1 cup fresh corn kernels, and 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (add veggie broth if it's a bit dry). Simmer until the okra is crisp-tender. Season and serve over rice.
3. As a quick pickle: Blanch a pound of okra (boil 2 minutes, then plunge into ice water). Bring 2 cups vinegar, 1 cup water, 2 Tbsp salt, 2 Tbsp sugar, and 3 garlic cloves to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Pour mixture over the okra; cool completely.

From Our Experts
Industry News
Covering Unified Communications - From Our Indsutry Experts
[November 27, 2012]
D2 Technologies to Discuss Impact of Browser-Based Voice and Video Communication at WebRTC
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN FRANCISCO, CA and SANTA BARBARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/27/12 -- D2 Technologies, the market leader in embedded IP communications software platforms, today announced that chief operating officer Doug Makishima will join other key industry leaders in a debate on the future of WebRTC, an open-source industry initiative supported by Google to enable Real Time Communications via a web browser.

Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

Woodstock Vermont
Great Towns of America by authors David and Joan Vokac (April
2009) announced
that Woodstock, Vermont has been named one of the "top 100
best getaways for a vacation or a lifetime". Woodstock
is described as the perfect embodiment of a New England village
specialty shops abound downtown, along with fine restaurants.
Numerous landmarks in and around town like the spectacular
public library reflect generous endowments and a cosmopolitan
Everything you love about Vermont—
words like "romantic",
"magical" and "historic" are often used to
describe this quaint village that has been called "the
prettiest small town in America". First settled in 1768,
Woodstock retains the elegant charm and rugged character of
American antiquity. With a covered bridge in the middle of town,
and stately homes surrounding the village green, it is easy to
see why Woodstock has been called the "quintessential New
England village".
Woodstock's excellent schools and welcoming community
combined with a multitude of outdoor activities in all seasons
make our town the ideal place to live. One of the top hospitals
in the country, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center or the
Dartmouth College are both just half an hour away from
Local attractions include the
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park (the only NHP
in Vermont); Pentangle Council on the Arts; Vermont Institute of
Natural Sciences; Quechee Gorge; President Calvin Coolidge State
Historic Site; Union Arena Community Center; Simon Pearce;
Sugarbush Farms; Dartmouth College; Killington and more......
Many annual events bring tourists to
Woodstock, such as: December's Wassail Weekend;
Woodstock Winter Triathlon in February; Vermont's Winter Special
Olympics in March; June's Covered Bridge Half Marathon; Quechee
Balloon Festival; Fourth of July Spectacular; the Green Mountain
Horse Association Summer Events, the July 100-mile Endurance Run
and - of course - every September & October brings the world
to Woodstock's renowned Fall Foliage.

Scott M Withrow has spent the last 12 years working on governance and development issues in conflict and post-conflict environments.
From 2000 to 2008, he worked for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe in the countries of the former-Yugoslavia, with an emphasis on Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo.
Beginning in 2009, Scott worked throughout Afghanistan in support of the counterinsurgency effort. Specifically, he has managed multi-million dollar stabilization programs for the United States Agency for International Development; served as a governance advisor to the Commander of Regional Command Southwest in Helmand Province; and was an advisor to the then-Commander of International Security Forces Afghanistan, General David Petraeus.
Scott received undergraduate degrees in Political Science and Philosophy from Purdue Calumet in 1999. He earned a graduate degree in International Relations and European Studies in 2000 from Central European University in Budapest, Hungary; and a second graduate degree in 2009 from Princeton University in the field of Public Policy.
Scott generally resides wherever he happens to be employed. When he is taking the occasional break from international work, his time is spent between his adopted home in Korcula, Croatia and his native city of Chicago, IL.
Scott's most valued Purdue Calumet experience: "It's an understatement to say that Purdue Calumet had an enormous impact upon me. Just about every aspect of the experience, from the students and professors to the classes and lectures, has informed my personal and professional life. I've drawn upon the knowledge, skills, and friendships I developed during my time at Purdue Calumet continuously over the years. It remains, by far, one of the most informative and valuable periods of my adult life."
Scott's advice to current Purdue Calumet students: "Take advantage of the people around you. PUC has one of the most diverse student bodies because of its large percentage of non-traditional students. As a result, these individuals bring with them life experience and different perspectives that are rarely found on other campuses."

I am in haste, as I always am these days because of the time I'm spending creating course material for the Ron Paul homeschool curriculum, but a quick note about Duck Dynasty. My wife really likes the show. I myself haven't been able to get into it. I just find it boring. I realize I'm in the minority.
Having said that, I thought the whole matter of Phil Robertson brought up an interesting issue for libertarians. Some libertarians say the traditional libertarian principle of nonaggression is insufficient. That is merely "thin" libertarianism, they say. We also need to have left-liberal views on religion, sexual morality, feminism, etc., because reactionary beliefs among the public are also threats to liberty. This is "thick" libertarianism.
As a "thin" libertarian myself (or what in the past was simply called a libertarian), I reject the claims of the thickists. I see no good reason to expand the list of requirements people must meet in order to be admitted to our little group. If they support nonaggression, they are libertarians.
But if the thickists are concerned that certain cultural attitudes might be dangerous to liberty, why do I never hear them express concern that the hysteria of the cultural Left might be prejudicial to liberty? Why is it only the traditional moral ideas of the bourgeoisie that are supposed to be so threatening? Could this be yet another double standard?
Everyone in American society now knows there are certain things they must never say, lest they be banished from polite society by the opinion police. The opinion police do not believe competing views have a right to exist. Yes, yes, in theory they do. But in practice they seek out and destroy anyone who does not accept fashionable opinion on a range of questions. Couple this with thought-control organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center, which conflates "hate" with unconventional views — having condemned such purveyors of violence and hate as Judge Napolitano and Ron Paul (note to the brain-dead: that is sarcasm) — and which actually collaborates with law enforcement, and isn't the result far more dangerous to liberty than the fact that lots of people dissent from the new orthodoxy on sex?
Yet I haven't come across a thickist who seems concerned about this. Maybe I haven't been looking hard enough. I doubt it.

Police: Burglary victim catches suspectMay 04,2013BENNINGTON Alert neighbors helped police solve what they called a string of burglaries and also captured the woman expected to be charged for the crimes, according to Lt. Lloyd Dean of the Bennington Police Department.
Nikki Lixx, 42, of Bennington, is expected to be charged with at least three felony counts of burglary Monday in Bennington criminal court. Dean said police also cited Lixx for possession of stolen property.
Dean said Sgt. Camillo Grande of the Bennington Police Department had been on foot patrol in the area of Robinson Avenue on Friday morning because of a string of burglaries committed at homes, some of them empty, but others while the residents were inside.
Around 1 a.m. Friday, a Robinson Avenue homeowner, who police did not identify, found a woman, who police later identified as Lixx, in his home.
Lixx fled but the homeowner called 911 and chased her. The homeowner tackled Lixx with the help of other neighbors and held her until Grande and Officers Benjamin Lackey and Thalia Hudson arrived.
Dean said Lixx admitted to three burglaries.
She was on furlough at the time of the arrest after pleading guilty in October to felony counts of identity theft and forgery and a misdemeanor charge of using false tokens. Officers with the Vermont Department of Corrections revoked her furlough after the arrest Friday and she was taken to the Rutland jail.
Dean said the Bennington Police are following up on leads to connect her to other burglaries in the area. On Friday morning, police executed a search warrant at Lixxs home and found many items which had been reported stolen. Officers will be making contact with possible victims in the near future, police said.MORE IN This Just InSki area operators in Vermont and across northern New England were giddy Wednesday at the...

Say, "CHEESE"
I am NOT a good photographer but even if I were a talented professional I would still have problems. Those problems being my three squirrely kids! Have you ever tried to get three kids to sit still at the same time, pose for a picture and smile. It's damn near impossible.
Let me put it this way, if you don't have three kids and you want to know what it's like, go out and get three hungry, squirmy little pigs. Smother them in K-Y jelly and try wrestling them in a tub of jello. And even then you would only come PARTIALLY close to what it takes to wrangle my spawn.
I was lucky because my friend Shari (who has a nice camera and a lot of pity for me) offered to take some pictures for us. She did a great job despite the screaming and crying and obscene hand gestures. What can I say, I got carried away. And the kids were horrible too! She did get a few good shots which I am posting for you to see. If you are on my Christmas card list please pretend to be surprised when you see them!!
The best picture of them looking at the camera. Bear isn't smiling but at least her head isn't spinning around and she's not vomiting pea soup like in the other pictures.
Notice my horrible fake tree in the background. It might look more natural if I actually spread the branches out instead of leaving them completely horizontal.
Another picture included on our Christmas card. I think it's the sweetest thing. It gives meaning to our "hugs and kisses" line on our card. I tried to convince Shari that a picture of me and Howie tongue wrestling would have the same effect but she seemed to disagree. You know how picky those artists can be about their "work".
She also said my kids don't kiss right in pictures. I haven't taught them how to give the money shots yet so we'll have to make due with this one.
The last picture on the card. I love Bubba's expression and I think Bear's smile is adorable. She looks so sweet and innocent. Don't let the picture fool you!
I want to say a special "thank you" to the unathletic anaphylactic mom who took these pictures whom without I would have spent over a benjamin buying stinking Christmas cards for people who will look at them for two seconds and then chuck them in the garbage. Instead I got my cards for the incredibly discounted price of $28.50! I love you Shari. Alot! And not in the "like a friend" sort of way. In the "taste of her cherry chapstick" kind of way. *wink*

Gorgeous pics! Look at Bear's lips! My goodness, she is the Angelina of the preschool set! Is it wrong to be jealous???ReplyDelete
I had to do separate photos of the boys because we all ran out of patience before we got a decent shot of them together. Why kids think that looking like they are pushing a big one out resembles smiling is beyond me!
You're not the first one to make the Angelina Jolie reference :-) So, you think I should stop with the silicon injections already?ReplyDelete
I just read your blog...ReplyDelete
we can't see each other anymore.
You have crossed the line. Not just crossed it- I think it was more of a running leap- world record style. It was nice knowing you.
You know you love me.ReplyDelete
- CarolynDecember 16, 2008 at 6:04 PM
LOL! You have me cracking up in damn near every blog. I'm going to have nightmares of toddlers with spinning heads and projectile pea soup vomit now, cheers.ReplyDelete
Your kids really are adorable though!
My sister and I were total asshats when my parents tried to get us to pose for Xmas card pictures... actually, we're 23 and 25 and we still are, and they still try.
Thanks Carolyn. So what you're saying is that there's no hope of a decent Christmas card in our future? Damn, and I was thinking next year might be the year!ReplyDelete
Show some love, leave a comment. I do comment back by the way. Because I like to have the last word. :-)

The Windows 8 Store is improving! It now has more than 25,500 apps available for download, MetroStore Scanner reports. 25,500 is quite a good number, but Microsoft has a long way to go to catch up Google with its Play Store, which now has about 700,000 apps, just like Apple's App Store.
Unfortunately, we have no info on the number of app downloads from the Windows 8 Store, but we can assume it's not too big yet. Perhaps several millions. In contrast, 25 billion apps were downloaded Google's Play Store before October 4, 2012 (no newer data yet), and 30 billion apps were downloaded from the App Store. Anyway, I personally think the Windows 8 Store will improve further soon enough if they have more useful apps like Skype and others.
MetroStore Scanner is a new third-party website that scans the Windows 8 Store for available apps. Seems to be useful for those who own Windows 8-running devices and not only for them: actually, Microsoft has integrated its store into the Windows 8 OS, up to now there was no other way to browse it but from inside the operating system. Now this site allows seeing all of the apps available at the Store and structures them: you can use the service to filter apps by country, category or keyword, sort them out in different ways and so on. And with its help you can download Windows 8 apps even if your device doesn't run this OS.

For communities short on landfill space, "waste-to-energy" incineration sounds like a bulletproof solution: Recycle all you can, and turn the rest into heat or electricity. That's how it's been regarded in much of Europe, where nearly a quarter of all municipal solid waste is burned in 450 incinerators, and increasingly in the United States, where dozens of cities and towns are considering new, cutting-edge plants.
But leaders of the international zero-waste movement, which seeks to reuse all products and send nothing to landfills or incinerators, say incineration falls short on the energy front and actually encourages waste. Many "zero wasters" - including groups such as Zero Waste Europe and the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, or GAIA - have become ardent opponents of the technology, contending that proponents have co-opted the carefully crafted zero-waste label by suggesting that burning to produce energy isn't actually wasting. In Europe, where incineration capacity continues to grow despite already exceeding the trash supply in some countries, the showdown goes beyond semantics to the heart of the meaning of sustainability.
While the world certainly has no shortage of it, trash is not renewable - not in the way that sunlight, wind, and geothermal heat are. Producing goods from virgin, finite resources requires energy - lots of it. Once the goods become trash, zero-waste advocates say, burning them in an incinerator destroys those resources for good.
Incinerators can provide heat for municipal heating systems or steam for electricity, recovering some of the energy used to produce their fuel. But even given the environmental costs of recycling, which include transporting and processing the material, zero wasters contend that it makes far more sense to recycle than to incinerate.
Is Incineration Holding Back Recycling?
