BioMS Medical Announces 2008 Year End Results
Toronto Stock Exchange Symbol: MS
"Dirucotide has demonstrated the ability to safely affect MS progression in previous studies and we look forward to the results of the Canadian/European trial (MAESTRO-01) in the second half of this year," said
Currently, BioMS is conducting two clinical trials and one open-label follow-on trial of dirucotide for the treatment of secondary progressive MS (SPMS):
- MAESTRO-01: On January 22, 2007, BioMS announced that this pivotal phase III trial, being conducted in Canada and Western Europe, had completed full recruitment of 611 SPMS patients at 47 trial sites in ten countries. To date, there have been nine positive safety reviews from the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). The primary clinical endpoint for MAESTRO-01 (and MAESTRO-03) is defined as a statistically and clinically significant increase in the time to progression of the disease as measured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), in patients with HLA-DR2 and/or HLA-DR4 immune response genes. On August 13, 2008, the DSMB conducted a scheduled interim analysis of efficacy and safety and recommended that the trial continue to completion. The interim analysis evaluated the first 200 patients to complete MAESTRO-01 and assessed the likelihood of the study reaching its primary endpoint at the end of the trial. Based on the DSMB decision, Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) provided a US $10 million milestone payment to BioMS as part of the terms of the licensing and collaboration agreement. BioMS anticipates MAESTRO-01 will be completed in 2009 with results from the trial expected in the second half of this year. - MAESTRO-02: Eligible patients who have successfully completed MAESTRO-01 may choose to receive dirucotide on an un-blinded basis in this open-label follow-on study. To date, approximately 95% of the eligible patients who have successfully completed the MAESTRO-01 trial have enrolled in this follow-on study. - MAESTRO-03: Enrollment was initiated in June, 2007 and completed on August 1, 2008 for this pivotal U.S. phase III trial of approximately 510 SPMS patients at 67 sites across the U.S. To date, the DSMB has conducted three reviews of the data from this trial and recommended it continue. The next DSMB review is expected to take place in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. - MINDSET-01: MINDSET-01 was a randomized, double-blind study that recruited 218 relapsing-remitting MS patients at 24 trial sites in six countries across Europe. BioMS recently announced that the top line results of this exploratory study did not meet its primary endpoint of effecting annualized relapse rate or associated secondary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) endpoints. Dirucotide did meet certain secondary endpoints related to the progression of the disease, including mean change from baseline in the EDSS and the MS Functional Composite (MSFC) score. Changes in EDSS and MSFC are primary and secondary outcomes in the ongoing phase III SPMS trials. The data also showed that dirucotide was generally well tolerated. The most common side effects reported were redness and burning sensation at the injection site. No patients withdrew due to adverse events. Eligible patients in this trial are now receiving dirucotide on an un-blinded basis to the end of their 27th month in the trial.
Licensing and Development Agreement with Lilly
Not later than sixty (60) days following receipt of the final written report of the results of the MAESTRO-01 trial, Lilly shall notify BioMS in writing whether Lilly will terminate the Agreement or alternatively Lilly shall bear 100% of any and all continuing development costs incurred by Lilly or BioMS for dirucotide.
HYC750 and BioCyDex
BioMS also ceased all development activities with respect to BioCyDex. Future development or licensing activities will be the responsibility of BioCyDex.

Spokane, Palouse named two of the most underrated places in the US | News
Spokane and the small town of Palouse have been named two of the most underrated places in the USA by the website Global Yodel. Site users, or Yodelers, nominated their towns for the 18 Most Underrated Places in the USA list.
Global Yodel is a travel website that believes the best people to tell you about travel destinations are the people who live there. The website says locals are the ones who are truly in the know about what makes their cities great.
Palouse was described as "a town where time stopped in all the right places" by Mary Rothlisberger who calls the small town home. Rothlisberger says that Palouse is her favorite place in the world and it's because of the people.
"Palouse is a town of tall tales and long poems, stories told thick with romance and heavy with hardship," Rothlisberger wrote about her town. "Palouse is a town where all the best days start."
You can read Mary Rothlisberger's full description of Palouse by clicking HERE.
While most of the article on Spokane is about Cory Crawford's Instagram photos, the Spokane resident did make some good points that put it on the list as an underrated city. Crawford describes Spokane as an underdog.
"Although it sits in the shadow of Seattle and is therefore overlooked, it has a lot to offer tourists, sportsmen, city and country folks alike."
Crawford also offered up some pro-tips on Spokane, like the proper pronunciation of Spo-Can. He also directed visitors to the Satellite Diner and Casper Fry for the best drinks and food in town.

Other cities on the list included Anacortes, Detroit and Seward, Alaska. To see the complete list from Global Yodel click HERE.

He is on a futile propaganda campaign to build up Nadal and tangentially discredit Federer any way possible. This is the basis of the majority of stats he googles up and pastes here, pathetic. Funny, how posters can't see his true colors, and think he is reasonable. He is somewhat passive, that is the only thing that makes him seem reasonable. If you really take a deeper look, you will see he is one of the most extreme Nadal fans on the board.
I have the stats myself, thank you very much, in my notes.
And I laugh at you saying I'm on a propaganda campaign as if you are somehow neutral and objective. LOL. As for the GOAT argument, a load of different players have a case for being GOAT, and a lot of people these days seem to think that Federer is the only candidate. In reality, I don't really see how any player can definitively win the GOAT argument, because different eras are different (some drastically different from others). There is nothing wrong with putting Laver's case out there, when a lot of Federer fans are putting forward Federer's case.
And yes, I'm a Nadal fan, and can sometimes be biased against Federer. I don't deny it. However, I do respect Federer's achievements and how he has played a big part to push tennis to such heights in this era.

Originally open from December of 2001 until June of 2004, the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) was passed by Congress and signed into law in order to provide financial compensation to those who were injured or lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks on the United States that occurred on September 11, 2001. Though the fund served an important purpose in aiding those injured in the collisions themselves or immediate aftermath, it became evident that rescue personnel and people living or working in the area had suffered the consequences of toxic exposure. Health conditions related to rescue and clean-up efforts and poor air quality in the area developed and were diagnosed years after initial exposure, creating a real need to reopen the fund.
Signed into law on January 2, 2011, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act (Zadroga Act) not only reopened the VCF but expanded the scope of people and medical conditions covered in order to help more of those in need. $2.8 billion was allocated to the new VCF and $1.5 billion was allocated to the
World Trade Center Health Program for medical monitoring and care for 9/11 responders and survivors.
The reopened fund began accepting claims on October 3, 2011. For those who already know that their illness or injury was related to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the deadline for filing a claim is October 3, 2013. People who are diagnosed with latent health problems or discover at a later date that their injuries/illness was related to the 9/11 attacks, rescue or clean-up operations will have two years from the date that they discover their injury was related to 9/11 to file a claim. All claims must be filed within five years after the VCF reopened; final payments are expected to be made in 2016-2017.
The following types of individuals may be eligible for compensation from the VCF, if they suffered direct harm as a result of the airplane crashes themselves or clean-up and rescue efforts in the time following the crashes:
Physical injuries as well as certain latent health conditions and diseases may be considered related to the terrorist attacks or debris removal, depending on the situation. Certain health conditions and injuries are presumptively covered by the VCF, but this does not necessarily mean that you will not be covered if you do not see your condition listed. If a medical professional can prove that your condition is related to the WTC, Pentagon or Shanksville collisions, you may be entitled to compensation. Victims being treated by private physicians will need to supply
diagnostic information about their condition in order for the VCF to make a determination about their eligibility for compensation.
People may file for compensation from the VCF even if they received other compensation such as life insurance, health insurance, workers' compensation or awards/settlements of civil lawsuits. The amount of compensation already received will be subtracted from any Victim Compensation Fund award. 9/11 responders and workers who settled their cases in the World Trade Center Disaster Site Litigation may also be eligible for additional benefits or compensation under the Zadroga Act.

"Exactly what we were looking for in an invitation. Just as nice as anything we would have done in person at an invitation store custom made. Quality of product was excellent and surpassed our expectations. Came exactly on time and appreciated the service from the team of designers at Tiny Prints. They offered colour suggestions for the font to be adjusted and gave me the options to review colour digital versions free of charge. We are over the moon about what arrived and will definitely be our go to place for future events. The cost was also so reasonable for all the items we purchased. Could not have been any easier and received a beautiful invitation we are proud to use for our event."
"Template was beautiful to begin with - great design and colors! Paper quality is excellent. I also liked that the back wasn't marked with the company information given that was a formal invite to a religious event."
"I bought these invitations for my son's Bar-Mitzvah. He wanted something unique and "cool." This definitely fit the bill. I was very pleased with the quality and modern look of the invitations. I also received them in the mail very quickly. I bought the response cards as well. I would definitely purchase from this company again."
"We used this card for our son's bar mitzvah invitations, because we were looking for an invitation that was simple and contemporary. Many people have already commented on the lovely and elegant design. The invitations were printed perfectly, and we received the envelopes very quickly. I had scoured many websites before purchasing this card, but this one was by far the best value without skimping on design. The only thing I would caution is that there isn't a lot of space for wording; you have to make it short and sweet!"
"Very happy with this! VERY quick with proofs and shipping. Four stars on print quality because if you look carefully, the print's a little grainy--not enough to make a difference. Four stars on design because the design software has pretty strict limits on what font size, spacing, and placement it will allow; it took a fair amount of tweaking to get what I wanted, but the designer I spoke with was knowledgeable and friendly. Also under "design"--although they offer bar/bat mitzvah and wedding invitations, they don't offer Hebrew fonts for (at least) the kid's name--you can only do it if you upload some special kind of file and..."

Stephen Colbert pays visit to new Late Show home
Published on Apr 23, 2014 5:35 PM
NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Stephen Colbert dropped in on David Letterman's late night CBS talk show, the Late Show on Tuesday, to get a glimpse of the rigours of the high-profile job he will take over in 2015. "He just stopped by to sign the lease," Letterman said of his successor in his opening monologue.
Continuing the passing-of-the-torch theme, the host quipped,"You look right at home," as Colbert took his seat.
In a nod to Letterman's successful, 20-year run on the show, Colbert said, "I'm going to do whatever you have done," to which the often self-deprecating Letterman replied, "Oh no, no, no, you don't want to do that." The lovefest continued with the pair later taking a selfie of themselves, using Colbert's phone.
But after telling Letterman, "Obviously, I'm thrilled to be taking over for you," Colbert recounted past near-misses with the veteran host, including a 1986 internship he turned down, "Because you did not pay people," and a bid to write for Letterman's show more than a decade later.

Joe Flacco: a Blue Hen with a golden arm
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP)
Maybe Delaware is the new Quarterback U.
When Joe Flacco takes the field with the Baltimore Ravens against San Francisco, he'll be the second former Blue Hens quarterback to start a Super Bowl. Rich Gannon was the first with Oakland 10 years ago.
That's more than powerhouses USC, Texas, Oklahoma and Florida combined. It's one more than Miami, Michigan, Tennessee, Penn State, Florida State, Syracuse, Nebraska and Pitt.
Stanford, UCLA, BYU, Maryland and Washington State also have two. Only Notre Dame, Alabama, Purdue and California have three.
Quite an impressive feat for a second-tier football college in the second-smallest state in the U.S.
It's a good thing Flacco didn't turn to baseball when he hoped or he may not have even made it to the NFL.
The story goes like this. After his junior season at Delaware, Flacco went to then-coach K.C. Keeler and told him he'd like to pitch for the Blue Hens' baseball team in the spring. Keeler and other coaches persuaded him to concentrate on football.
Over the years, the context of that conversation has been reported different ways. Flacco set the record straight this week, making it clear he simply wanted to play two sports and wasn't considering quitting football.
''K.C. misrepresents that,'' Flacco said. ''I just wanted to play baseball because I liked baseball. I never was giving up on football. I always had a lot of confidence in my ability there. I just wanted to have a little bit of fun.''
Flacco had an outstanding senior year and led Delaware to the FCS championship game against Appalachian State. He wowed Baltimore's scouting department in a long workout before the draft and ended up being selected by the Ravens with the No. 18 overall pick in 2008.
Since then, Flacco has done things no other quarterback has accomplished during the Super Bowl era.
Flacco is the first quarterback to lead his team to a playoff victory in each of his first five seasons. His six postseason wins on the road rank first and he leads the league with 62 victories since 2008.
''I'm really happy for him and as a former Blue Hen, I'm really proud,'' said Gannon, who was the NFL MVP in 2002 when he led the Raiders to the Super Bowl, a loss to Tampa Bay.
''His career is off to a terrific start and you can only imagine what will happen next Sunday if he's able to get the job done and win a world championship.''
Flacco has padded his already remarkable resume this month. In three playoff games, he's thrown eight touchdown passes and not a single interception. His biggest achievement, though, is beating Peyton Manning and Tom Brady on the road in consecutive games to help the Ravens win their second AFC championship.
''This isn't just instant success,'' Gannon said. ''You go back and study the guy and this has happened over the last five years. He has some rare talent. He can really throw the ball and he has good mobility for a guy his size. He's going to get better and the team around him is going to get better.''
The 28-year-old Flacco grew up in South Jersey and starred at Audubon High School, a short ride from Philadelphia. He went to Pittsburgh at first, but transferred to Delaware after redshirting his freshman year and playing in just three games in 2004. Flacco didn't get a transfer exception from then-Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt so he had to pay his way to Delaware.
If he has any student loans bills remaining, Flacco can easily pay those off after this season. He's eligible to become a free agent and surely will get a lucrative contract from the Ravens.
All he cares about now is hoisting that Vince Lombardi Trophy on Feb. 3.
''I think it's just one of those things you dream of when you are a little kid,'' he said. ''You watch Joe Montana and those guys light them up in the Super Bowl. So, to be here at this point is pretty special.''
Gannon exchanged text messages with Flacco before the AFC title game at New England last week and spoke to him several times during the season. As a broadcaster for CBS Sports and SiriusXM NFL Radio, Gannon has covered many of Flacco's games and knows him well.
''I don't think Joe cares about individual awards,'' Gannon said. ''He's always been a team guy and they wouldn't be there without him. I think he's misunderstood. A lot of people think he's aloof or he's not into it, but a lot of young players don't like to deal with the media. He's ultra-competitive, he's become one of the leaders of that football team and he's done an outstanding job.''
And to think Flacco went to Delaware, a school that's produced fewer than 25 NFL players and only five were quarterbacks. Scott Brunner, Jeff Komlo and Andy Hall are the other three.
Flacco and teammate Gino Gradkowski, a backup offensive lineman, will be the fourth and fifth former Blue Hens to play in a Super Bowl. Gannon, Ivory Sully (Los Angeles Rams) and Ben Patrick (Arizona Cardinals) were on losing teams.
''To have this opportunity is pretty cool,'' Flacco said. ''There are a lot of people in this league that can't say they've ever gotten to this point, so it definitely feels good to get here.''

A Colorado man has pleaded not guilty to charges of illegally selling and transporting Southwestern archaeological artifacts.
Robert B. Knowlton of Grand Junction entered his plea Wednesday in Denver federal court.
He's accused of selling a pipe, a knife and a knifepoint taken from federal land and mailing them from Colorado to Utah.
Knowlton is among more than 25 people caught up in a federal sting in the Four Corners region.
Knowlton ran an Internet-based business called Bob's Flint Shop.
A search-warrant affidavit says he told an undercover informant that his collection included about 3,700 artifacts with a retail value of a half-million dollars or more.

Topped with fresh seasonal fruit, Eat the Love has captured summer in this amazing, boozy cake.
This fresh and fruity bundt cake is perfect for summer, and the red-wine Sangria glaze just adds to its deliciosity quotient. Already using mostly almond flour, this cake is easily gluten free. Substitute apple sauce for the eggs and it's vegan, too!
Summery Sangria Cake
This cake was inspired by the flavors of sangria, but isn't as boozy or as wine filled as you might expect. I used a combination of kiwis, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries as my fruit filling, but feel free to use any fruit you would use in sangria, like apples, pears, peaches, star fruit, whatever you love to use in sangria. It's perfect for a Cinco de Mayo or any old brunch (especially if you are rich person, or just pretending to be one). - Eat the Love
Sangria Glaze
3/4 cup red wine (suitable for sangria, like good juicy Spanish one)
1/4 cup blood orange juice
1/4 cup (50 g) white sugar
2 teaspoons arrowroot flour
Cake Fruit Filling
3 oz (1 medium kiwi) of kiwis, peel and diced into 1/2" pieces
3 oz blackberries
3 oz blueberries
3 oz raspberries
1/4 cup (50 g) white sugar
1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
2 1/2 cups (350 g) all purpose flour
1/2 cup (70 g) almond meal
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (113 g, 1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 1/4 cup (250 g) white sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cup sour cream (not fat free)
1/2 cup of citrus juice (I used a combination of lemons, limes and blood oranges, but feel free to use whatever you want)
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup of assorted berries, sliced kiwis, sliced oranges, lemons and/or limes

If you face indictment, take it like a man
A thousand deaths is a lot of sweat
from Cormega (Ft. Action Bronson, Roc Marciano & Saigon) – M.A.R.S. Lyrics on Genius
If you get caught doing crime, do your sentence and don't snitch. Being a snitch is more suffering than actually doing a sentence because you have to live in fear of being killed.
"A thousand deaths" refers to the opening quote of "A coward dies a thousand deaths, a soldier die but once" on 2pac's "Death around the Corner" which is a rewording of Shakespeare's quote "Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once".

A few weeks ago, the editorial teams from Beadwork and Jewelry Stringing magazines got together to consolidate our office stash of beading materials. As you can imagine, we have A TON of fun materials to play with around here, but for a long time they have all been...less than organized. In the spirit of (extremely belated/extremely early) spring cleaning, we blocked off a few hours to bite the bullet and finally get our stash sorted.
Aside from the satisfaction that comes with a well-organized stash, one of the perks of spending the afternoon up to our elbows in beading materials was that we got to revisit a lot of the items that we would have otherwise forgotten we even had. I pulled a couple of these items out to play with last night, and ended up with this bracelet:
I used a little bit of beading thread to stitch a few triangle diamond cut solid rings (Beadalon) onto strands of this metallic copper leather cuff (The Lipstick Ranch).
Next time that you are looking for some beading inspiration, try organizing your own stash--you will be brimming with ideas in no time!
Love the look but as a new-bie I have no idea how you put this together. Is the leather wrapped or do you have some kind of clasp holding the individual straps in line? More info would be helpful.
What particular qualities does "beading thread" have that regular "sewing thread" wouldn't have?

While deleting files in OS X simply involves moving them to the trash and emptying it, this routine does not remove the data of these items, but instead only clears the directory entry for them. The content of the items is kept on disk with the system having no way to access it; as a result, there is potential for the content to be scanned and recovered by data recovery tools.

A convertible is a vehicle body style that is defined as having a removable roof. This allows the vehicle to convert from a closed cabin to an open-air cabin. When the roof is up, convertibles typically resemble the coupe body style. However, convertible models of other body styles are available, including sedans, SUVs (for example, the Jeep Wrangler, and even the occasional pickup truck (c1989 Dodge Dakota).
History of the Convertible Body Style
The open-topped car is the oldest automobile body style, and it was not until 1910 that Cadillac introduced the enclosed cabin vehicle design to the United States. Popularity in the convertible body style would diminish until the 1950s, when a resurgence of interest was spurred due to marketing and manufacturing efforts made by American automakers. Almost every domestic passenger car made during the 1950s was available as a convertible. America's interest in the convertible would continue until the 1970s, when the U.S. government threatened to create stricter rollover safety requirements. This led automakers to drastically reduce the number of convertible models made available to consumers.
When these increased safety requirements never materializing, the convertible made a comeback in the 1980s. Moderate popularity in the convertible body style has stayed relatively constant to present day.
Types of Convertible Roofs
The roof material and mechanism for removal vary from one convertible to another. Currently, two types of convertible roofs are available:
- Folding Convertible Roof - These convertibles have a top made of cloth or vinyl that can fold down and collapse behind the rear passenger seat. Most convertibles now automate this process through the use of electrical or electro-hydraulic mechanisms. When up, the roof is kept in place by attaching to the windshield frame via manual or automatic latches. Advantages of this design include easy conversion and minimal storage requirements of the retracted roof. Disadvantages include reduced safety during rollovers and fading or shrinkage of the cloth or vinyl due to sun exposure.
- Hardtop Convertible Roof - These convertibles feature a roof made of hard plastic, aluminum or other rigid material. The majority of hardtops must be manually removed or installed, though retractable hardtops are available. Advantages of the hardtop include increased safety and acoustic insulation. Disadvantages include cumbersome removal of the roof and increased storage space requirements.
Notable Convertible Features
Beyond the roof itself, convertibles incorporate several unique design characteristics to facilitate the open-top construction. Some of these features include:
- Tonneau Covers - Protective covers that secure into place over the retracted rooftop. Tonneau covers help reduce the risk of sun damage to the exposed roof cloth or vinyl. They also hide mechanicals of the retraction device for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
- Wind Blockers - Deflect wind noise and movement to facilitate a comfortable drive for passengers when the roof is down. Various wind blocker designs are currently in use, including retractable vertical glass, wind flaps and detachable fold-up blockers.
- Rear Windows - The small size of convertible rear windows has historically created visibility problems for the body style. To combat this issue, most new convertible models feature heated glass rear windows.

Franklin - A Milwaukee County parks employee who responded to the scene of yet another report of a cougar sighting on the Oak Leaf Trail last week said he discovered evidence that may link a big cat to the area.
According to the Franklin police log:
A Franklin resident reported that his wife saw a cougar near the Oak Leaf Bike Trail about 9:30 a.m. Friday. The caller's wife stated she saw a cougar walking south, crossing Puetz Road between 51st Street and the trail.
Although no cougar was found, a county parks employee checked the area and said he found what appeared to be cougar tracks and possible cougar scat (droppings) along the grass trail close to the river - but no tracks or other evidence was found along the hardened bike trail.
After talking with the witness, the parks employee verified the animal described by the woman was a cougar and that the tracks were found in the area where she allegedly saw the big cat.
Police in Franklin, Hales Corners and Oak Creek have all received reports from residents who say they have seen a cougar or other large, wild cat in their municipality within the past month:
A cougar or mountain lion was reported in the 6700 block of West Rawson Avenue about 10:30 a.m. Nov. 18.
A bobcat or lynx was reported by the Oak Leaf Trail in the 6400 block of West Drexel Avenue at 4 a.m. Dec. 1.
A 200- to 300-pound cougar was sighted in the area of Howell Avenue and Elm Road about 7:25 p.m. Dec. 1.
A cougar was reported by a Hales Corners resident in the 11000 block of West Forest Home Avenue shortly after 10 p.m. Dec. 13.
A call to the Milwaukee County Parks Department employee who reportedly found the tracks and other evidence Friday was not returned as of Tuesday.

I do remember liking this a lot, and wanting more by this author, and then not being overly thrilled with the other stuff I've tried by her.
This was a really entertaining read. Flagg jumps between the story of Idgie Threadgoode, her partner Ruth, and all of their family and friends in Whistle Stop, Alabama in the 20s - 50s and Evelyn Couch, a middle-aged overweight woman who is having her midlife crisis, and her growing relationship with Ninny Threadgode, Idgie's sister-in-law. Evelyn and Ninny meet in the late 80s at a nursing home in Birmingham, and Ninny tells Evelyn the story of Whistle Stop and its inhabitants, while at the same time empowering Evelyn to find her voice, and her happiness. While the nonlinear storytelling takes some getting used to, I ended up really enjoying it, because a lot of the time I would hear about an event in passing, then get the whole story a little later.
My favorite sections were the ones in Whistle Stop. Each character has their own fun personality, and Flagg does not shy away form depicting the horrible racism that was prevalent during that time (while also drawing interesting parallels during the "present" sections). What I didn't really understand, though, was why everyone in this little Southern town seemed to not care that Idgie and Ruth were in a lesbian relationship. I suppose that, because it was such a small town, and Idgie and Ruth were so well known and loved, that people didn't care. Anyway, I am glad that wasn't a problem, because everyone else seemed to have enough to deal with. Flagg herself grew up in a small town in Alabama, so a lot of this book is taken from her own experiences.
I loved that Flagg included Sipsey's recipes in the back of the book. Southern cooking is so delicious! Now I have a desire to eat fried green tomatoes...
one of my favorites.
This book for me is a solid 4.5 stars.
I am so glad that I found this book at the library and decided to read it.
I adored Mrs Threadgoode and all of the characters of Whistle Stop. I loved watching Evelyn grow into a stronger woman and develop a lot more confidence in herself as the story went along.
How the people stood together, stuck up for one another: black and white alike. Even stood up against the KKK!
But of the whole story, my favorites of course were Mrs. Threadgoode, Dot Weems, Sipsey & Idgie! Like I said, I loved them all, but those were my top favorites! The only reason I only gave it a 4.5 out of 5 stars was because there were some parts of the book I got kind of bored with. There were some stories that she talked about some people that just didn't really interest me but I am glad she put it in there still because I would have wondered what ever happened to many of them.
The ending had it's sadness and I hated to see some things end, but, there is one part at the end that will have you smiling and so happy! I just couldn't help but smile at the last couple of pages.
The love that all the characters had for each other was just amazing. Even for the time it was set in most of the story, and to see the love many whites had for their black friends and how they took up for each other in so many ways. How, even during the tough times, they were willing to still give to each other whenever they could.
This book is just about the love of family, friends and friends who become each others families!
There isn't a whole lot I can say without giving away too many spoilers for those who haven't read the book or seen the movie. I just enjoyed this little town called Whistle Stop, Alabama and it's cafe that was the center of their little world! It had me wanting to find a small little town with that same amount of love some where! (Just without all the racism of course! lol)
'The cafe...funny how a little knockabout place like that brought so many people together', June 19, 2014
This review is from: Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe (Kindle Edition)
Evelyn Couch is a depressed overweight woman in her 50s. This novel follows her progress as she visits an elderly woman in a nursing home. The reminiscences of the latter of Alabama life in the 1930s, the poverty and racism but simultaneously the sense of community, become vivid to her:
'Lately, to get her mind off that cold gun and pulling the trigger, she would close her eyes and force herself to hear Mrs Threadgoode's voice and if she breathed deep and concentrated she would soon see herself in Whistle Stop. She would walk down the street and go in Opal's beauty shop...After a comb-out she would stop by to visit with Dot weems at the post office and then on to the cafe where she could see everyone so clearly...She would order lunch and Wilbur Weems and Grady Kilgore would wave to her...Everyone would ask her how she was and the sun was always shining and there would always be a tomorrow.'
This is a novel of two strands: on the one hand Evelyn, but also events in 1930s Whistle Stop, most notably a murder mystery...
I feared this book might be cloyingly sentimental, but it's actually really touching and enjoyable.

Hands-On Activities for the Classroom (Abstract)
pdf ps
Donna L. Young
The Wright Center for Innovative Science, Tufts University, 4 Colby Street, Medford,
Concepts of scale of the Solar System are critical prerequisites for
understanding the scale and nature of the universe. Most students and adults have
difficulty comprehending how large space really is, and how large the planets
and the Sun really are compared with everyday distances and objects, and also
with how far away the Sun, Moon, and planets are from the Earth. Two hands-on
activities will be presented to address the misconception that students have about
these sizes and distances. The construction of a three-dimensional model of the
Earth and Moon system will demonstrate the size, volume, and distance between
these two objects. A second activity will involve the construction of the Sun and
planets for a true size comparison of the Solar System family.

If a one-time payment of Rs.100 crore is given to the sector
Minister stresses need to promote farming
Loan at 4% interest for paddy, vegetable farming
KOCHI: Cooperation Minister G. Sudhakaran has said that if the cooperative sector is given Rs.100 crore as a one-time payment, it will be able to control the price of essential commodities effectively by setting up fair value centres across the State.
Mr. Sudhakaran was speaking after inaugurating a digital multimedia library for the visually challenged at the EMS Library in Kakkanad, promoted by the Ernakulam District Cooperative Bank.
The Minister said that if the assistance was forthcoming, at least 10 fair value centres would be opened in all the panchayats by the cooperative sector.
"It is vital that agriculture picked up so that there is no scarcity of products to be sold through these centres at reduced prices," he said. The concept would not be feasible if the products are to be secured from neighbouring States at higher prices, he said.
He said that Supplyco (Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation) and the cooperative sector outlets were able to control prices during the Onam season despite reports of multinational and national giants entering the retail segment.
He said the cooperative sector was lending loans for vegetable and paddy cultivation at an unprecedented low interest rate of 4 per cent. "For all other forms of farming, the interest rate is not more than 7 per cent," he said.
He said no one should interfere in the public interest initiatives of the cooperative sector in the name of rules and regulations, as it would destroy the sector. Unnecessary intervention by the Government or the Minister would not help the cause of the cooperative sector. "The role of Ministers is more of a watchdog," he said.
Reading habit
The Minister said no reliable statistics were available on the libraries and books available for access in the State. "Any factual assessment of the reading habit of the State would require the support of such statistics," he said.
The digital library facility, the first of its kind in the entire south India, has been set up at an initial cost of Rs.5 lakh. It will feature a text-reading machine for reading print manuals with a speech feedback. The machine can be connected to a computer for large size to complement speech so that it will help those with low vision.
The second phase of the project will see the installation of a Braille printer to convert English language books for the visually challenged. Efforts are on to develop a software enabling the reading of Malayalam books, M.M. Monayi, MLA, president of the district cooperative bank, said.
K. Babu, MLA, presided. K.A. Chandrashekharan of Faith India, an organisation for the rehabilitation of the visually challenged, distributed the first membership for the visually challenged.

Ceramic clutch, less than half the Touratech price
1 Attachment(s)
After burning out the clutch on my 2007 GSA in one year/7,500 km (www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=334305) I'm having a ceramic clutch put in and I found one that's less than half the Touratech price.
It's from a company in South Africa, called Cycle Technology, part of a motorcycle tour company.
Anyone else had experience with them?
The price is R1995 (that's South African Rand), or about $265 (Cdn.). Touratech Canada wanted more than $700 (Cdn.)
I e-mailed the supplier Thursday evening, got a prompt reply Friday morning with all my questions answered, and wired him the money the same day (He doesn't take credit cards, too much CC fraud in South Africa, he says).
The total cost, with shipping and bank fees for the transfer, was $441 (Cdn.). Air shipping alone was $100 (Cdn.). Still cheaper than Touratech.
The website says it's the same one sold by Touratech, which seems likely since the Touratech model is also made in South Africa. (The photo below is the Cycle Tech plate)
The website also says it's guaranteed for life, if "driven correctly." I was told that meant: "riding respectably and not like a person trying to deliberately destroy the clutch plate or doing wheelies daily up and down the main roads. These clutches were designed for serious adventure travelers who are fully loaded to capacity and encounter serious thick sand or challenging road conditions and have to use the clutch constantly and drastically at times to get out of the sand or situation which they are in."
I'll update this thread as I progress toward a new clutch, and report on how it works.
<!-- / message --><!-- attachments -->
Thanks, eagerly awaiting your results.
On Horizons Unlimited, someone posted to the effect that ceramic clutches can be bad for the GS, because the ceramic clutches don't "give" at all and as a result put more strain on the engine (or something).
I didn't really understand the point, and frankly trust people on this thread more than any others, so is there any downside (other than cost) to installing a ceramic clutch?
(hopefully this won't be considered a hijack).
Freaking beautiful.... Let us know how it turns out.. The 1100GS takes a 180mm clutch plate.. The 1150 takes a 165, while the 12GS takes a 180mm, but a different (part number wise anyways) from the 1100GS.. I wonder if they have them for 1100/1150's as well..
Good to know! It looks like the same unit as the one TT sells, which they claim is made by Sachs in South Africa.
Remember, they say about 3000km to break it in, before you start abusing it. And they say to replace the pressure plate too.
Who's going to install it for you? :ear
BMW Toronto. I know you deal with them a lot. Any thoughts?
tough to wear out
Never heard of them for bikes . Had fleet of trucks with them . They are like on/off switch no slipping. Never seen one wear out But seen flywheels eaten by them and clutch plates cracking and breaking to pieces.
You'll have two sets of spacers with it to install. They must be removed as the clutch beds in, first set around the 8-10K mile period, second set around 50k .
They may not slip, but you can still tear the centre disc out and the splines still wear out.
Find out how much they're going to charge you. you should also follow the instructions that come with the clutch to have the pressure plate also replaced. You may be better off supplying the parts yourself after you sourced them from the US and had them delivered to a US address near the border.
You may want to give these folks a call and get a quote from them too:
It's a labor intensive job and your bike will have to be cut in half to get at the clutch.. it's scary to see it that way, but it all went back together well.
Whether or not it's better to go with the standard clutch boils down to economics, so it comes down to how many organic clutches you'd go through before you'd go through a ceramic clutch. Which depends on your riding style.
I had a ceramic clutch on my old 1150 ADV and I liked it quite a bit.
My bike has 28K on it.. I bought it w/ 21K on it in July.. Its gets commuted every day (50mi r/t) and I drive the bejeezus out of it.. The iwfe and I tour on it on the weekends as well.. I adjusted the stock clutch right after I bought it and it has kept adjustment just fine.. I am wondering how much longer the stocker will last and wondering if it would make sense to throw this in when we get to that point..
I thought poolside said something about the r12 clutch models not having any spacers to remove, whereas the 1150 did. Is this true?
I put the Touratech Clutch in my 98 1100 GS and it was fantastic, but way over priced, The same 180mm Ceramic clutch made by Sachs for a Volkswaggon is only $80, Same spline but with a diff offset.( It would work in a pinch)
I was told it would be like a light switch and it was not at all, in fact it had a lighter pull and was as smooth as my Trials bike. I have been wanting to put one in my 1150gs but the cost for what it is sucks.
Let us know how this turns out
Not to steal the thread, but I noticed the tell-tale sign of the main seal leak. Do you know how long the bike is out for? I'm planning a mexican mystery tour and i'm not sure if i have it fixed before or after. the likelyhood of me roasting the clutch is high in mexico so it would be replaced under warrantee anyway (as most have had their clutch replaced due to the seal failure)
How is BMW toronto? There is a new BMW dealer in ottawa, but i have a hard time trusting anyone after going to my previous dealer....although the open road dealer in newmarket is great (which is where i bought my bike)
I also have the paint peeling on the heads. Maybe the FD will blow and I'll have the qequivalent of a new bike :clap
