Baclofen (Lioresal)
What Is Baclofen?By Chris Iliades, MD, and Mary Elizabeth Dallas
Medically Reviewed by Pat F. Bass III, MD, MPH
Baclofen is a prescription drugused to treat muscle spasms from multiple sclerosis,spinal cord injuries, and spinal cord diseases.
Baclofen is an antispasticmuscle relaxant.Experts don't know exactly how baclofen works, but in general, it blocks nerve signals from muscles at the level of the spinal cord and it may also depress the central nervous system.
Medical experts do not recommend baclofen for muscle spasms caused by rheumatoid arthritis, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, or stroke,because research to date does not support such use.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved baclofen in 1977 under the brand name Lioresal, which was made by Novartis. The FDA approved generic baclofen in the 1980s.Today, only generic versions of baclofen are available.
A case report published in Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology in 2014 suggested that baclofen might be effective for treating marijuana dependence, particularly for those who have used the drug heavily for a long time. The research also showed that baclofen may help reduce withdrawal symptoms as well as the effects of marijuana.
A separate study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience in 2014, found that baclofen may also help people with drug addiction avoid possible triggers and prevent relapse. The drug works by interfering with the brain's early response to drug cues.

What Are the Key Things I Need to Know About Baclofen?
There are four warnings for baclofen that you should know about:
- Once you start taking baclofen, don't stop taking it suddenly on your own. If you need to stop, your doctor will lower your dose gradually. Stopping baclofen suddenly can lead to a dangerous withdrawal reaction that can include hallucinations (seeing or hearingthings that are not there) and seizures.
- Your kidneys eliminate baclofen from your system. Take baclofen with caution if you have kidney disease and reduced kidney function because the drug can build up in your system. You might need to take a reduced dose.
- Baclofen is not recommended to treat muscle spasms caused by a stroke. Baclofen can cause more side effects in people with a history of stroke.
- Studies have linked baclofen to birth defects in animals. Because of this, it is considered unsafe to use during pregnancy.
Is There Anything Special I Should Discuss With My Doctor Before Taking Baclofen?
Baclofen can make you drowsy and affect your balance, so don't drive or operate dangerous machinery until you know how baclofen affects you.
Because it's not safe to take baclofen during pregnancy, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or may become pregnant before taking this drug. Baclofen may pass into breast milk, so also tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
If you're a woman, ask your doctor about a possible risk for developing ovarian cysts while on baclofen. Make sure you doctor knows if you have a history of ovarian cysts.
Other conditions you should tell your doctor about before taking baclofen include:
- Kidney disease
- Parkinson's disease
- Stroke
- Seizures (epilepsy)
- Ulcers
- Cerebral palsy
- Mental health or mood disorders such as schizophrenia
- Rheumatoid arthritis
The FDA has not approved baclofen for children younger than 12.

Baclofen Interactions
In This Section:
- Do Other Drugs Affect the Way Baclofen Works?
- Should I Avoid Any Food, Drink, or Activity While Taking Baclofen?
Do Other Drugs Affect the Way Baclofen Works?
Some drugs may affect the way baclofen works, and baclofen may affect other drugs you're taking. It's very important to let your doctor know about all drugs you're taking, including any other prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, recreational or illegal drugs,herbs, vitamins, or supplements.
Other drugs that depress the central nervous system may make some side effects of baclofen worse.These drugs may include:
- Alcohol
- Sleeping pills
- Tranquilizers
- Muscle relaxants
- Vitamins
Should I Avoid Any Food, Drink, or Activity While Taking Baclofen?
Baclofen may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so don't drive or do other activities that require careful attention until you know how baclofen affects you. Don't drink alcohol while taking baclofen because that can make side effects worse.
Because baclofen relaxes muscles, it may cause weakness and imbalance, especially if you have muscle stiffness. Talk to your doctor about how baclofen may affect your balance.

Baclofen Dosage
In This Section:
- What Is a Typical Dose of Baclofen?
- What Happens If I Take Too Much Baclofen and Overdose?
- What Happens If I Miss a Dose of Baclofen or Don't Take It as Prescribed?
What Is a Typical Dose of Baclofen?
Baclofen comes in tablets of 10 and 20 milligrams (mg), and you'll usually take an equally divided dose three times a day. Tablets have a score mark, which is an indented line down the middle, so you can cut them in half if necessary.
Your doctor may start you at a low dose and then gradually increase it as needed. The goal is to take the lowest effective dose. A typical dose schedule is:
- 5 mg three times a day for the first three days;
- 10 mg three times a day for the next three days;
- 15 mg three times a day for the nextthree days;
- 20 mg three times a day for the nextthree days.
It may take a few weeks for the drug to reach the peak effectiveness.The usual daily dose is 40 to 80 mg. The maximum dose should not be higher than 80 mg a day.
What Happens If I Take Too Much Baclofen and Overdose?
An overdose of baclofen can cause nausea, vomiting, severe muscle weakness, drowsiness, difficulty breathing, coma, and seizure.If you think you or someone else may have taken an overdose ofbaclofen, call your poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. For severe symptoms of an overdose, call 911.
What Happens If I Miss a Dose of Baclofen or Don't Take It as Prescribed?
Take baclofen exactly as directed by your doctor. Don't take more or less, and don't stop taking baclofen on your own. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dose schedule. Don't double your dose to make up for the missed one.

Illustration by Peter Burke
This is the "default" Myiarchus throughout much of the west. Monotypic. Length 7.6–8.6" (19–22 cm).
Identification Adult: relatively small, slender; moderately long tailed. Whitish gray throat, pale gray breast with whitish transition to pale yellow belly. Brown crown and brownish gray back separated by subtle gray collar. Blackish brown wings with 2 whitish wing bars; rufous-edged primaries; secondaries edged white to pale yellow. Outer pairs of tail feathers extensively rufous on inner webs; dark shaft stripe flares at tip so that rufous does not extend to feather tips. Some lack typical tail pattern, and pattern can vary among feathers. All-dark bill is relatively thin, short to medium length. Mouth lining flesh-color. Juvenile: duller and paler; browner above; belly more whitish yellow; rufous-edged secondaries; tail predominantly rufous with dark shaft stripes on outer webs. Some juvenile middle secondaries or tail feathers can be retained into first basic plumage.
Similar Species Superficially identical to the brown-crested, which averages darker gray and brighter yellow below, is larger in all aspects, lacks typical ash-throated tail pattern, and has different voice. Juvenile ash-throated tail suggests the great crested, but size, shape, and plumage should make identification easy. Nutting's best separated by voice, mouth color.
Voice Call: ka-brick, soft prrrrt (nonbreeders less vocal). Dawn song: a repeated series of ha-wheer and other notes.
Status and Distribution Common. Breeding: desert scrub and riparian, oak, or coniferous woodland. Migration: in spring, mid-March–mid-May. In fall, August–mid-September; stragglers October–November. Winter: extreme southwestern United States to Honduras. Vagrant: rare/casual north to southwestern British Columbia, east to southeastern Canada and to Atlantic and Gulf coasts in the United States, mainly in fall and winter.
Population Stable.

NCLB Update (http://www.nochildleftbehind.gov/)
Last week, Secretary Paige joined U.S. Rep. John Boehner and Hamilton City Schools Superintendent Janet Baker to dedicate a bronze-and-granite sculpture celebrating Hamilton High School's role as host for the signing of the No Child Left Behind Act. "We met here in Hamilton two-and-a-half years ago," the Secretary said, "and history was made on that day. With the stroke of a pen, President Bush signaled that the time had come for all children, regardless of the color of their skin, their spoken accent, or their street address, to receive a quality education.... The reforms are now taking root across the country, and they are making a real difference." Each of the nine figures in the sculpture is a realistic portrait of someone affiliated with the district. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2004/06/06082004.html. (Photos are available at http://www.ed.gov/news/photos/2004/0608/edlite-0608_1.html.)
The School Information Partnership web site, http://www.schoolmatters.com/, which offers timely, relevant, and comparable school, district, and state data required to be reported under the No Child Left Behind Act, launched in January with just six states. Today, it boasts 18 states, with more expected to join over the summer. Overwhelmed? Take the tour at http://www.schoolmatters.com/pdf/SIP_User_Guide.pdf.
On Wednesday, the Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII) unveiled the third of six booklets on promising practices to be released this year. "Innovations in Education: Successful Charter Schools" (http://www.ed.gov/admins/comm/choice/charter/) offers practical advice and concrete examples from eight charter schools, all of which are meeting state standards of accountability for all students under No Child Left Behind. The guide is divided into two parts. The first section provides an overview of common elements, including organizational structure, leadership and mission, novel curricula and programs, efforts to promote a community of continuous learning, partnerships, and accountability for results. The second section provides rich descriptions about each of the schools featured. All of the schools, from Houston's Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) Academy to the Community of Peace Charter School in St. Paul, Minnesota, have improved student performance over the last three years.
Exit Exams
According to a recent report, the high school exit exams taken by a growing number of students measure math taught in most other countries in middle school and English that falls well below college admissions standards. Achieve, a non-profit organization created by the nation's governors and business leaders to raise academic standards and achievement in public schools, studied the high school exit exams from six states: Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, and Texas. These states enroll roughly one-quarter of all high school students in the U.S. and one-half of the students who must pass an exam to graduate. On average, researchers found that students can pass math tests by correctly answering questions that appeared in seventh- or eighth-grade curricula worldwide. Similarly, students can pass English tests by tackling questions that resemble those on an exam developed by the testing company ACT for eighth- and ninth-graders. However, Achieve does not counsel against exit exams. "Though these tests are less rigorous than most parents and taxpayers might expect, the states that give them are doing the right thing," declared Achieve President Michael Cohen. "They are using the exams to stretch their students and schools beyond the previous performance levels. Initially low passing rates are yielding to improved performance." For more information, please go to http://www.achieve.org/achieve.nsf/StandardForm3?
Summer Service
USA Freedom Corps' "A Call to Summer Service" (http://www.usafreedomcorps.gov/content/
for_volunteers/summer2004/) reminds citizens that the summer months are an excellent time to answer President Bush's call to service, give back to your communities, and extend the compassion and greatness of America. Using the web site listed above, you can:
- Learn how you can spend your summer meeting some important summer needs.
- Borrow some of the great ideas the USA Freedom Corps has put together to decide how you can help out this summer.
- Use the USA Freedom Corps Volunteer Network (http://www.usafreedomcorps.gov/content/
for_volunteers/find_opps/) to search millions of volunteer opportunities from more than 75,000 organizations by location and your area of interest.
- Once you have a good idea for how you want to volunteer, use the Corps' resources for getting started to help you on your way.
- Keep track of your volunteer hours to earn the President's Volunteer Service Award.
About 63.8 million people volunteered from September 2002 to September 2003, up from about 59.8 million for the year that ended September 2002. The percentage of Americans who volunteered went from 27.4 percent to 28.8 percent.
Grants Forecast
Be sure to review the revised (as of June 2) FY 2004 Grants Forecast (http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/find/edlite-forecast.html), which lists virtually all programs and competitions under which the Department has invited or expects to invite applications for awards and provides actual or estimated dates for the transmittal of applications under these programs. The lists are in the form of chartsorganized by the Department's program officesand will be updated regularly through July 2004.
Note: The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) has eight grant competitions currently underway. The deadline for applications range from July 6 (Research and Innovation to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities) to August 3 (Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers Program). For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/grantapps/.
New Appointments
President Bush has nominated former Virginia Lieutenant Governor John Hager to be Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2004/06/06022004.html). Hager, who has used a wheelchair since he contracted polio in 1973, is a long-time advocate for people with disabilities. He has served as chairman or president of more than 30 boards and commissions in Virginia, including the Governor's Disability Commission, and most recently was the state's first director of homeland security. Diane Cullo has been appointed the new executive director of the Advisory Board on Tribal Colleges and Universities (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2004/06/06012004.html). Previously, Cullo was the American Indian Higher Education Consortium's director of communications, development, and programs initiatives. She lives in Alexandria, Virginia.
Kindergarten Class
A new National Center for Education Statistics' study, "Full-Day and Half-Day Kindergarten in the United States," presents findings from the first year of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Class of 1998-99. Its focus is on descriptive comparisons of full- and half-day kindergarten and the children enrolled in these programs. It also details the curriculum and instructional practices in each program. The study concludes with an analysis of the cognitive gains of public school children who attend kindergarten; not surprisingly, children in full-day classes made greater gains in reading/language arts and math over the course of the kindergarten year than children in half-day classes. For more information, please go to http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2004078.
Quote to Note
"To the world, [President Ronald Reagan] was freedom's best friend and tyranny's greatest foe. To Americans, he was the leader whose strength and sunny optimism helped us rediscover our own strength and national purpose. President Reagan's legacy is felt in the classroom as well. He was not afraid to point out that we were a Nation at Risk, and he led the drive for higher standards, accountability, and greater choices. He believed that America is more than a nation; it is a promise and an ideala 'shining city on a hill.'"
Secretary of Education Rod Paige (6/7/04)
Upcoming Events
The second of three NCLB Leadership Summits, titled "Increasing Options Through e-Learning," is scheduled for July 12-13 in Orlando, Florida. The conference will explore virtual education (distance learning, virtual schools, and other online education courses) as a powerful technology innovation in support of No Child Left Behind.
The Education Industry Association's annual conference, EDVentures 2004, will be held August 4-6 at Northwestern University outside of Chicago. This year's theme is "Education for Tomorrow: Entrepreneurs Transforming K-16 Education," featuring expert speakers (including Deputy Undersecretary for Innovation and Improvement Nina Rees) covering best practices in tutoring, supplemental services, online learning, postsecondary education initiatives, private schools, and more.

12 Sweet Midwest Bakeries
Minneapolis: Salty Tart [1]
Visitors shoulder in beside south Minneapolis locals, peering through windows at a chef filling pillowy brioche with vanilla bean pastry cream. The brioche channels owner-chef Michelle Gayer's childhood memory of doughnut holes—amped up with the skill that has earned her two James Beard nominations and a culinary cult following.
Foodies gather at Salty Tart's windows in the Midtown Global Market to watch Michelle and her team at work almost as much as they come for treasures like the coconut macaroons, a Minnesota State Fair legend with toasty brown shells hiding exponentially coconuty insides that glisten like quartz.
Salty Tart—true to its name—is no sweet and petite bakery. Michelle handles the classics flawlessly, but she's ever eager to swap icing swirls and frosting flourishes for bold new flavors, such as cupcakes flavored with beer or red wine. The lineup is seasonal, creamy, nutty, flaky, salty, boozy and, oh yeah, sugary. But only in good measure. "When pastries are too sweet, it's hard for people to enjoy," Michelle says.
The daring approach perfectly suits the frenetic vibe of the surrounding indoor market. Perhaps it's not where you come for a quiet cup of coffee, but if you're ready to join fellow adventurous foodies in stretching the boundaries of baked goods, Salty Tart is a sweet destination (saltytart.com; 612/874-9206). -- Gus Axelson
Salty Tart [2]
Springfield, Illinois: Incredibly Delicious [6]
The Incredibly Delicious Flourless Chocolate Cake Company opened as a mail-order business in 1995. Problem was, the phone never rang. "We had 1,000 pounds of chocolate and nothing to do," says owner-chef Patrick Groth, who studied French cooking before starting the business. "So we opened a one-room bakery and sold baguettes and chocolate cake. We were open for three days when we had such a line at noon that we decided we had to serve lunch."
Now, Patrick and family live above the bakery-cafe, which occupies the main floor of an 1845 Italianate mansion in Springfield's Aristocracy Hill, near Abraham Lincoln's home. The menu includes buttery chocolate croissants, sweet-tangy lemon tarts, locally sourced salads, sandwiches (including a showstopping Mediterranean melt), soups and breads.
But that decadent flourless cake remains the star. Rich with three kinds of imported French chocolate, it features a shiny ganache and a texture seemingly too light to be made of chocolate. And true to tradition, the helium-light layered red velvet cake no more than teases with the taste of chocolate.
In a town with its share of chain restaurants, the Delicious mansion is an oasis. Behind arched windows wait four distinct dining rooms, and greenery hides two outdoor areas. Somehow, life feels a bit slower here—and definitely richer (incrediblydelicious.com; 217/528-8548). - Kate Silver
Cleveland's Presti's [10]
You can't cross Little Italy's brick streets without running into an Italian restaurant. A pleasant scent of garlic hangs constantly in the air, and when people need a spot to gather—whether they're members of the big Catholic church, Italian-American men planning to linger over coffee or students grabbing lunch—they usually head for Presti's bakery-cafe at the corner of Mayfield and Coltman roads. It seems nearly everyone at the comfortable tables is related to or went to high school with everyone else.
The third generation of Prestis, sisters Claudia and Sheila, own the business, and Claudia's son Michael Vaccarino is pastry chef. Presti's customers count on finding classics done right. For goods such as crisp-crust Italian bread, Michael counts on recipes his great-grandmother Rose Presti used when the shop opened down the street in 1903. "My grandfather taught me how to make the bread—the family has taught me," he says. "We don't really have things written down."
An Italian influence fills the chalkboard menu: cream-filled crunchy cannoli; 30 kinds of cookies, including pignolia, linzers and biscotti; cake doughnuts; and by-the-slice pizza. The best seller is classic triflelike tiramisu layering creamy marscapone and chocolate with so-light sponge cake moist with espresso syrup.
The bakery mixes tin ceilings with sleek walls—old-country spirit holding strong in a Wi-Fi world (prestisbakery.com; 216/421-3060). - Amber Matheson
Presti's [11]
Danville, Indiana: Bread Basket Cafe and Bakery [14]
The family-owned Bread Basket makes artistic creations of the edible variety. It's known for its sweetie pies, baby cakes (pictured) and breads.
Flavors vary with the season, but might include a Blurbarb Sweetie Pie, with blueberries and rhubarb; Snickerdoodle Baby Cake, with cinnamon buttercream frosting; and Golden Yeast Bread, baked with squash, pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
Breakfast features a simple and inexpensive menu with items such as eggs, sausage and gravy biscuits, and French toast; for lunch, you can order hearty sandwiches (the chicken salad croissant is a favorite), made-from-scratch soup and salads with locally grown ingredients.
The bakery recently moved to a larger space and offers cozy seating in a renovated Arts and Crafts bungalow; try to nab a seat by the stone fireplace in winter (317/718-4800; breadbasketcafe.com).
Fargo, North Dakota: Nichole's Fine Pastry [18]
Cake slices, tarts and pastries line up like edible works of art in the cases at Nichole's Fine Pastry. Chefs stroke gold-leaf accents onto chocolate-glazed miniature cakes layered with hazelnut crunch. Mango, raspberries and blood oranges top fruit tarts like flowers. Domed chocolate-mint cakes look like they're encased in green glass.
More than a dozen pastries are featured each day: an ever-evolving blend of layer cakes with chocolate-pistachio or strawberry mousse; lemon curd and chocolate-caramel-sea-salt tarts; and favorites such as twice-baked croissants layered with sweet almond cream.
A case of gelato and sorbets features flavors such as ginger, pistachio or white chocolate with a kick of lemon.
An expansion in 2010 added seating and allowed the shop to add to its lunch menu of soups, salads and sandwiches. Stop by on weekend nights for a glass of wine and, of course, a tempting dessert (nicholesfinepastry.com; 701/232-6430). - Lisa Meyers McClintick
Omaha: Bliss Old Market Bakery [22]
Tucked into Omaha's celebrated Old Market district is a charming bakery combining delicious treats with sweet customer service.
Bliss is best known for unusual cupcakes, with flavors such as blueberry chocolate and car bomb (Guinness and chocolate cake, filled with Irish whiskey ganache and topped with Irish cream buttercream). The cupcakes are miniature works of art, topped with towering frosting ribbons and swirls. We tried the ginger-peach cupcake; spiced ginger cake created a perfect complement to the cool cream cheese frosting and peach-puree toppings.
"Caketinis" (miniature balls of cake mixed with frosting) in champagne glasses line the cold case near the counter. Other goodies include cinnamon and caramel pecan rolls and scones.
The bakers at Bliss are friendly and chatty, and the shop offers free Internet. A shaded, pet-friendly patio is open during summer (blissbakery.com; 402/934-7450). - Erica Hengelfelt
Atchison, Kansas: Marigold Bakery and Cafe [26]
For a taste of down-home Kansas goodness, pull up a chair at cheery Marigold Bakery Cafe. Customers sit at farmhouse kitchen tables weathered by years of plate-passing. In the kitchen, women wearing aprons and hot mitts pull crusty loaves from toasty ovens.
Sugary treats displayed in bubble-topped, glass cake stands include cookies, cinnamon-pecan rolls, coffee cakes, muffins, scones, old-fashioned cream puffs and cherry Danish. We love the baby 6-inch pies to share -- or not! Flavors change daily (coconut cream, lemon meringue, chocolate cream, peach, apple and cherry).
For lunch, we found that a half-sandwich and baby greens salad combo and a fresh-squeezed glass of strawberry lemonade was light yet satisfying. We were intrigued by our table topping, a vintage Kansas state map tablecloth. In summer, you can sit out front of the brightly colored Victorian storefront at a marigold-yellow table.
Take Marigold's goodness home with a box mix of buttery, oatmeal-streusel Kansas Coffee Cake (marigoldbakery.com; 402/934-7450) - Kit Bernardi
Marigold Bakery Café [27]
Cape Girardeau, Missouri: My Daddy's Cheesecake Bakery and Cafe [30]
Started by a college professor who wanted to indulge his daughter's love of cheesecake, this bright and energetic location is now owned by a husband-and-wife team that expanded the bakery to include a wide selection of cookies, pastries, cakes and muffins.
Breakfast features lots of fruits as well as creative egg dishes. We had an excellent egg white omelet with spinach and feta cheese and sides of fresh fruit and fried potatoes. We also sampled a blueberry muffin, a meal in itself with fresh blueberries and a sweet citrusy glaze. The lunch and dinner offerings include fresh salads, homemade dressings, quesadillas, wraps, soups and sandwiches.
End your meal with a slice of the bakery's signature cheesecakes (or take a whole one home). You'll find nearly two dozen flavors; our recommendations include the Mississippi Mud, the Peanut Butter or the Key Lime. Cheesecakes can also be shipped nationwide (mydaddyscheesecake.com; 573/335-6660). - Diana Lambdin Meyer
Maiden Rock, Wisconsin: Smiling Pelican Bakeshop [34]
Try to time a visit to Maiden Rock on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday (from April through December), because those are the only days this terrific little bakery, housed in an 1870s home right on Highway 35, is open.
The rest of the week, chef Sandra Thielman is busy prepping for the weekend's bounty. And what a bounty it is: several kinds of breads, a half-dozen types of cookies, three or more types of pie (by the slice or whole pies to go), muffins, quiche and more. On our visit, pie choices included lemon cheesecake, three berry and chocolate Jack Daniels cheesecake. The latter is rich and thick, with a robust whiskey flavor. Carrot-ginger muffins come with generous chunks of carrot and the subtle spice of ginger.
The quiches are thick and stout, making for hearty meals. A spinach quiche held ham, cheese, mushrooms, sweet yellow peppers and fresh spinach. Thielman's unique Reuben quiche -- corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and onions in a rye crust -- is bold, rich and surprisingly well-balanced. In other words, it's an unexpected delight, just like this bakery itself (715/448-3807) - Gustave Axelson
Custer, South Dakota: Baker's Bakery and Cafe [37]
This homey cafe has become a favorite in downtown Custer for its legendary caramel rolls and homemade breads and buns complementing soups, sandwiches and hearty breakfasts.
When people talk about Baker's, it's usually with a few groans and eye rolls. "It was huge!" they'll say about caramel rolls that feed more than one or the green-chile-smothered breakfast burrito that fills a plate.
The cafe is known for zippy tortilla soup, but often it's the simple addition of homemade breads and buns that made a typical lunch here something special.
If you don't have time for a bison burger or sandwich, carve out an early-afternoon coffee break for Baker's chunky, gooey turtle bars or summer berry stacks layered with fruit, a cream filling and a light crust (605/673-2253). - Lisa Meyers McClintick
Des Moines: La Mie [40]
Breakfast reigns supreme at this bakery west of downtown Des Moines, but it's a hot spot for lunch, too.
On any given morning (except Sunday) you'll find a variety of baked goods both sweet and savory along with a full menu of warm, delicious breakfast foods. Try a fresh asparagus omelet with Brie and crème fraiche or an asparagus, tomato and chèvre quiche.
For lunch, salads include apple, avocado and almonds with feta and dried cranberries, while a grilled Brie and provolone sandwich oozes melty goodness.
Buttery, flaky croissants and fruit-topped Danish are among the featured pastries, and you can pick up a loaf of fresh bread -- challah, cranberry walnut, olive ciabatta, multigrain -- to enjoy at home. During the summer months, you can find La Mie baked goods at the Downtown Farmers Market (lamiebakery.com; 515/255-1625).
La Mie [41]
Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan: Josef's European Pastry Shop [44]
For more than 40 years, Josef's has created wedding cakes, buttery baked goods and bonhomie in a warm European setting.
Located in a Detroit suburb several blocks off Lake St. Clair, Josef's offers both a patio with cafe tables and cozy interior. Baked goods include tortes, flan, crème brûlée, Michigan berry pies, crusty rolls, croissants, chocolate-covered pretzels and tea cookies. Sandwiches, salads, quiches and potpies are among the lunch specialties.
We sampled a focaccia pizza topped with a puree of tomatoes, fresh oregano and rosemary; a Greek feta salad with plump olives, fresh basil, celery and bowtie pasta; and raspberry coffeecake, with plump berries dotting a flaky, buttery pastry.
Brothers Jimmy and Anthony Cavallo bought the cafe from its original owner in 2006. They've expanded the menu, added Wi-Fi and put in more seating -- but kept the specialties that have made Josef's a longtime Detroit bakery destination, including its sublime, one-of-a-kind wedding cakes (josefspastryshop.com; 313/881-5710). - Emily Tennyson

Vincent Price: Not Just For Thriller?
More here.

I really miss Vincent Price. Good times.
- April 22, 2009 at 4:12 PM
- Joseph said...
I remember that commercial! It looks like it was filmed on the set of the PBS show Mystery! (which he also hosted, as I recall).
Vincent Price was a real treasure. What often gets missed because of his horror film career is his great love of and expertise in the arts; he was a connoisseur of fine art (he had an enormous collection of art pieces) and a gourmet chef.
- April 22, 2009 at 5:59 PM
- Brunomac said...
Does anybody remember the "Shrunken Head" commercials with Price? I had one, and it was so cool. You took apples and turned them into little shrunken heads. Price vamped around in a lab coat turning all these granny smith's into little blackened heads.
From The Raven, to the House on Haunted hill, to The last Man on Earth, I loved me some Vinny P.

BTW, I have the entire Enchanted World series thanks to eBay. It was one of my big resources for D&D back in the day!

I remember old V.P with fondness.
He was a great actor, he could set a mood just by glaring at you.
Must watch "The Raven" and "Fall of the House of Usher" once again.

To win one of Michael's new book Between Boyfriends, please e-mail your name, phone/cell, city to: giveaways[at]pinkmag.com
Michael Salvatore's debut novel, BETWEEN BOYFRIENDS, is in stores now. This fresh, funny and sexy story is sure to get you attention on Fire Island, Provincetown…or even the Jersey Shore. Whatever your "situation", BETWEEN BOYFRIENDS is sure to please.
Published by Kensington, Paperback, $15.00 ($17.95 Canada)
PINK: Why did you want to write this novel?
Michael: I simply set out to write a story about a gay man that is both honest and hysterically funny and I believe I achieved my goal.
Do you think your novel has crossover appeal to a straight audience?
Definitely. While Steven, the main character, and his friends are gay, what grounds the book is Steven's relationship with his family, especially his mother. This relationship broadens the appeal of the book so it's more of one man's journey to find his place in this world and not just a gay man's search for the perfect boyfriend. Because of that difference the characters and their exploits will appeal to everyone.
Is this novel autobiographical?
No, not in the true sense. There are elements of the book that mimic pieces of my own life such as being a Jersey boy and having strong family ties in New Jersey. My mother did live in the Rocco Impreveduto Towers which I turned into the Salvatore DeNuccio Towers so there are things like that, but sadly I don't produce a soap opera nor am I friends with any Olympic figure skaters.
How did you pick the careers and likes of all the characters?
That's where art does imitate life. I love figure skating, soap operas, theatre, '70s television, and London so I threw all of that stuff into the novel. I thought I may never get another chance to write a novel so I might as well use all my favorite things in this book. It also made it easier to focus on plot and characterization since I didn't have to do any research to find out specific things like how to spell a certain Russian figure skater's name.
Who should play Steven in the TV series?
I actually didn't write the part of Steven with anyone specific in mind, but I think when it becomes a TV series, which it definitely needs to be since TV needs a new gay role model, it should be an unknown, somebody who doesn't come with any baggage and someone the audience can relate to. Having said that, however, Kevin Rikaart, an actor on my favorite soap, The Young and The Restless, would be perfect. Beyond that, John Stamos would make the ideal Gus and I'm sure he can do a British accent. I also really like Marc Blucas who was Buffy's boyfriend for a while as Flynn and there has to be a blonde Mario Cantone out there who could bring Lindsay to life.
The novel does have some dramatic elements, did you include these specifically to offset the humor?
Yes, I wanted the novel to portray the real year in the life of a gay man and in order for the reader to accept the madcap adventures I think they need to root for the protagonist, a good way to do that is to put him into some real, dramatic situations. The struggle for me has been to find a balance since I have a tendency to write a bit melodramatically in the first draft or in an outline. The dramatic beats are there, but I tend to overplay them and make them larger than life so they don't have the same impact. Larger than life works when it's comedy, but if you're trying to convey honest, raw emotion, I believe, it's best to simplify. Simply write the situation with some grace and the reader will have an emotional reaction. The most important thing I've discovered is that readers and audiences respond to the humor in my writing, whether it be a play or fiction, so I have decided to stick with what I know I can do.

Study Abroad Trip to Ireland, March 2014. As is our usual schedule, Dr. Prince and other faculty will lead a study-abroad trip via EF Tours during spring break, 2014. The trip is the "Irish Heritage" itinerary. Details may be seen at EF's site here. The base cost for a student is $2709, but may change after Dec. 15 2012. Contact Dr. Prince for more details.
History is the written record of the human past, dealing with the people and events that helped make us what we are today. History courses enable students to investigate the ideas, problems, and actions of past generations as they directly affect the present. Through a variety of survey and specialized courses students are encouraged to examine various cultures and historical periods, their distinctiveness as well as their particular responses to similar problems.
In a time of instant news and high technology, it is tempting to ignore the past, but those who attempt to understand history have a distinct advantage. Such an advantage is obvious for those seeking jobs in teaching, journalism, government service, or communications. A good historical background also serves well for those who enter the world of law, business, banking, archival and library work, or museums and historical societies.
History draws upon both the humanities and the social sciences, and majors in history are expected to supplement their history courses with courses in literature and the other humanities as well as with the social sciences.

Books | Murakami runs from soccer, to the distance
As a sidebar to the Feb 29 entry ("A multihued archipelago, tuned to soccer's harmonics"), part-time Hawai'i resident Haruki Murakami reflects in a recent Spiegel Online interview on his sporting interests and their relationship to his writing ("When I Run I Am in a Peaceful Place," Feb 20).
Murakami, 59, has run 27 marathons, having shunned team sports such as football. "Why did my real existence as a serious writer begin on the day that I first went jogging?" Murakami says. "I tend to understand things only if I record my thoughts. I found that when I write about running I write about myself."
The Japanese author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Kafka on the Shore turned to writing following his ownership of a Tokyo jazz club. The revelation came, again, through sport:
In April 1978, I was watching a baseball game in the Jingu Stadium in Tokyo, the sun was shining, I was drinking a beer. And when Dave Hilton of the Yakult Swallows made a perfect hit, at that instant I knew I was going to write a novel. It was a warm sensation. I can still feel it in my heart. Now I am compensating for the old, open life through my new, closed life. I have never appeared on television, I have never been heard on the radio, I hardly ever give readings, I am extremely reluctant to have my photograph taken, I rarely give interviews. I'm a loner.
Murakami expresses distaste for Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner (1959) author Alan Sillitoe, the chronicler of urban despair in such stories as "The Match." The story concerns one man's domestic ennui following a Notts County–Bristol City fixture. Speaking of Loneliness, Murakami says, "I wasn't impressed by the book. It's boring. You can tell that Sillitoe wasn't a runner himself."

The Italian luxury lingerie company La Perla was born in 1954 in the kitchen of Ada Marsotti — a Bolognese housewife trained in the art of hand-crafted corsetry. Marsotti's impeccably tailored undergarments captivated Bologna's shopkeepers and upper-crust ladies, who admired their delicate cuts, durable fabrics, and distinctive detailing — including diamonds, macramé, embroidery, and soutache (a type of looped trim). Now one of the world's leading lingerie brands, La Perla offers a diverse collection of sexy underwear for women and men as well as luxe swimwear, nightwear, and fragrances. From the top-selling La Dolce Syl strapless bra in silk chiffon and Belle de Jour bodysuit to simple, straightforward cotton men's T-shirts and boxer briefs, each garment features meticulous construction and comes in colors ranging from neutral nude and basic black to bolder hues such as burnt orange, turquoise, and tomato red.

I have often read and heard that the area for prostitution and drug activity in the Times Square area ran from the Port Authority to about 50th street before the Times Square cleanup in the 90's. I remember the hotel that is now a Hilton Gardens Hotel, a Days Inn and prior a Ramada Inn (between 48th and 49th street) and often wondered, was prostitution and drugs a problem by this hotel as it was further down by the Port Authority and 42 street? Prior to the buiilding of Worldwide plaza in 1989, that site was an open block long parking lot . Was there prostitution in this section as well? Or was it tamer?
rlrl-Aside from the West Side Hotels-the Streets from 39th Street were full of Prostitutes. Soliciting to NJ bound drivers and off duty bus drivers along 10th & 11th Avenue. Covenant House on W.41st added to the trash. Many bars along west 40th Street (8th-10th Ave.'s) Tenaments in the W. 300 block of 35th St. right near the Mid Town So. Pct.. These activities were reported into the late 1990's if not 2000. 40th Street (8th & 9th Avenue has a probation office which adds sleaz.
how about up by the old Blarney Stone (795 8th Ave at 48th), the firehouse(782 8th and 48th) Ramada Inn (790 8th Ave and 48th) and the old parking lot before Worldwide Plaza(825 8th and 49th) was built ?
So thought I would ask to see if I am in the norm or not - How often do you have sex with your hubby? I say we average 2 times a week. What about you ladies?
Is there a specific rule for this? Ive never heard of something like that happening, nor have I ever seen anything in the rules about it.
rlrl-In answere to your questions above-You'd have to know police officers assigned to MTS or MTN Pct's during that era. Or residents of Hell's Kitchen that watched the night life of the neighborhood.
good to know. What about enchantments that say "do blah blah blah THIS TURN"? Do they get destroyed after the turn? Or can you keep using them every turn?
I remember the hotel that is now a Hilton Gardens Hotel, a Days Inn and prior a Ramada Inn (between 48th and 49th street) and often wondered, was prostitution and drugs a problem by this hotel as it was further down by the Port Authority and 42 street[url=http://www.roofingexpertsonline.com/]roof[/url]

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Match report
For match photos, scroll to PHOTOSTREAM above left. For match stats click on the stats tab. Manager reactions below. Press conferences to follow shortly.
Leighton Baines scored a stoppage-time penalty to salvage a New Year's Day draw for Everton at Stoke City in the Barclays Premier League.
Oussama Assaidi netted four minutes into the second half after Kevin Mirallas had struck the woodwork twice for Roberto Martinez's men in the opening period.
With the match seemingly heading for a Stoke victory, Jermaine Pennant's tackle on Leon Osman in the box handed Everton a spot-kick, which Baines duly dispatched. The draw is the third consecutive 1-1 between the sides at the Britannia Stadium.
Stoke welcomed Marc Wilson and Glenn Whelan back from suspension, while Everton made five alterations to the side that beat Southampton 2-1 on Sunday, including handing a first Barclays Premier League start to defender John Stones, who partnered Antolin Alcaraz in the heart of defence with Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin both injured.
A cagey opening saw Peter Crouch head just wide of the right-hand post from Jonathan Walters' cross and James McCarthy force Stoke goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen into a diving save from 20 yards.
With rain teeming down at the Britannia, Mirallas had the best chance of the opening period as the match reached the half-hour mark, rifling a shot against the underside of the crossbar from 20 yards with Sorensen beaten.
Assaidi, who has a couple of memorable strikes to his name this season, almost broke the deadlock 11 minutes before the break as he saw a shot from inside the area deflected just wide by Alcaraz.
Ross Barkley then guided the ball just over from a Mirallas cut-back six minutes later, before the Belgian attacker struck the frame of the goal for a second time from a free-kick as the sides went in at half-time all square.
Stoke, who are already without the injured Asmir Begovic, suffered a further goalkeeping blow at half-time, with Thomas Sorensen failing to re-emerge for the second half due to a reported Achilles problem - Jack Butland coming on in his place to make his Barclays Premier League bow.
But those worries were soon forgotten when Assaidi - on loan from Everton's Merseyside rivals Liverpool - drilled home from the edge of the penalty area.
Charlie Adam turned well on the edge of the penalty area to fire a left-footed effort straight at Tim Howard seven minutes later, as Stoke assumed control of the fixture.
But Everton started to look dangerous again, with Barkley and Mirallas both having efforts blocked in the penalty area. It looked as though Stoke were going to do just about enough to seal the three points, but Pennant brought down Osman in the penalty area in stoppage time to give the visitors hope.
Baines coolly slotted home from the spot to rescue a point for Everton, who dropped into fifth behind rivals Liverpool.
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "We're disappointed. We put a huge effort in. We were good value for a 1-0 lead. I felt we coped really well with Everton. Four or five weeks ago we were beaten 4-0 by them. We more than matched them.
"It's a clear penalty. We made a mistake and it allowed them a way back. I thought we deserved three points. We played really well. Oussama Assaidi has been a real asset into the last few weeks. Teams are looking to double up on him."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "I thought whoever was going to score the first goal, that was going to be final. You feel in the first half when we hit the woodwork twice that it's not going to be our day. The first proper chance that Stoke has - a good strike from outside the box - ends up in the back of the net.
"I don't think we were at our best by any stretch of the imagination, but what we showed is an incredible, incredible reaction. Once we conceded the goal, we forced Stoke back in their own box. The penalty through the magic feet of Leon Osman was a good reward.
"I couldn't be happier with the reaction that we had and in the manner that we finished the game."
"I couldn't be happier with the [central defensive] partnership. I thought Antolin was magnificent, and then you've got young John Stones who I think is going to be one of the best defenders in the English game. He's a born leader and I think we're going to see something special in John Stones' career. John Stones has got everything to be a good, modern centre-half."
