The purpose of this study is to follow and collect additional medical and developmental information on children after histrelin subcutaneous implant therapy is discontinued.
Central Precocious Puberty
Drug: Histrelin Subcutaneous Implant
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Phase III, Open-Label Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Histrelin Subdermal Implant in Children With Central Precocious Puberty
- LH suppression following stimulation with a GnRH analog (leuprolide acetate) [ Time Frame: Every 6 months until hormone suppression is discontinued ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Collect long term medical and developmental information until adulthood [ Time Frame: Up to 8-10 years post treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|September 2004
|Study Completion Date:
|April 2012
|Primary Completion Date:
|August 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Histrelin Subcutaneous Implant (50 mg)
Subcutaneous implant designed to deliver histrelin continously for 12 months.
Drug: Histrelin Subcutaneous Implant
histrelin subcutaneous 50 mg implant
Other Names:
Detailed Description:
Thirty-two (32) patients will receive a histrelin subdermal implant under the anesthesia deemed appropriate by the administering physician. Ten-twelve (10-12) sites will enroll 2-3 patients per site. It is anticipated that half the patients will be receiving GnRH analog treatment and the other half will be treatment naïve. All patients will undergo selective PK sampling post-implantation to assess histrelin profile. At 12 months, provided that the patient continues to meet the safety and efficacy parameters, the original implant will be removed and the patient can receive a new implant. At 13 months, patients who receive new implants will be evaluated at the study site and administratively transferred to the initial extension study. At Month 24), the implants inserted at Month 12 will be removed. At this time, patients who have completed the initial extension study and who wish to continue therapy with the histrelin implant will be eligible to receive a new (ie, third) implant and to enter an additional 12-month extended access phase at the discretion of the investigator. At Month 36, the implants inserted at Month 24 for the Extended Access Phase will be removed. At this time, patients who have completed the Extended Access Phase and who wish to continue therapy with the histrelin implant will be eligible to receive a new (ie, fourth) implant and to enter the Long Term Extended Access Phase (referred to as the Implant Treatment Phase) at the discretion of the investigator. The purpose of this phase is to provide patients with the opportunity to continue to receive a new implant at the end of each 12-month period until the patient no longer requires hormone suppression. Once implant therapy is discontinued, all patients are eligible to enter the Long Term Follow Up Phase (Post Implant Phase) of the study.

A new restaurant is opening on State Route 37 in Lisbon.
Joshua P. Taillon will run The Kitchen at Iroquois Farm. Although he would like to open by Aug. 1, the date is tentative because many renovations still need to be made to the building, which used to be the Country Garden Restaurant.
I think people are very excited about something new and different, he said. I love the rustic charm of this area.
Mr. Taillon, who grew up in Madrid, spent the past 13 years as a chef in Colorado. He said his father told him about the opportunity to run the restaurant here, and he decided to move back since his lease was up in Colorado.
Seeing this huge farm here with an enormous restaurant just sitting here empty, it seemed like a very good opportunity, he said. There are not a lot of options for people these days, especially around this area. There are diners and bar food, typically, and theres not really a lot of from-scratch, home cooking.
Mr. Taillon, who is leasing the space from the Clements Agricultural Research Institute, said his goal for the restaurant is to focus on utilizing farm-fresh, organic ingredients. Mr. Taillon also intends to incorporate into the menu local beef and fresh seafood from the area as well as the best bacon in New York State, he said.
Well change our menu up quite a bit and keep it very seasonal and also use local products, he said. I would like to be at least within the state with all of our products.
Don R. Simpson and his wife, Kathy A., have been running the Tilden Stage Inn Bed and Breakfast next door to the restaurant for five years and the Iroquois Farm for three.
We grow lettuce and spinach in the greenhouse during the winter, Mr. Simpson said. I sell to the colleges, some of the restaurants around and Ill be supplying Josh with a lot of vegetables.
Jacob M. Lord, Chase Mills, grew up with Mr. Taillon and will be working alongside Mr. Taillon as a chef.
Josh has a passion for the business, and he loves what he does, he said. This is his dream, and Im happy I can be a part of it.

MASSENA - Northern New Yorkers who had the day off Monday to observe Veterans Day were treated to a sunny, summer-like day.
Temperatures swung to a high of 70 degrees Sunday in Watertown, breaking a record set in 1969 and tied in 2002. Massena reached a high of 75 degrees Monday, breaking a record set in 1982.
Watertown also tied 1964s record high temperature of 70 degrees Monday.
The air is getting drawn up from the deep South, Buffalo National Weather Service meteorologist James A. Mitchell said. The normal high should be 49 degrees. Thats a 21-degree difference.
However, there probably will not be any more Indian summer days for the remainder of the year.
The temperature will drop like a rock later tonight, Mr. Mitchell said Monday. Youll wake up in the morning with temperatures in the mid-30s. Itll be quite the shock.
The temperature increase over the weekend was due to southern winds from the Gulf of Mexico. These winds will be pushed out of the way by a strong cold front coming from the West.
This is typically when we start getting into our winter-like weather, Mr. Mitchell said. Our average daily highs are falling pretty rapidly now.
He said no information had been sent from Lewis County independent observers by Tuesday afternoon.
While Massenas temperature was five degrees above Watertowns, St. Lawrence County has a slight chance of snow showers today. However, the weather is expected to be drier for the remainder of the week.
The strong cold front should bring temperatures back to normal, said Brooke O. Taber, National Weather Service meteorologist in Burlington, Vt.
This fall is already turning out to be cooler than in previous years.
Were below average for the month if you take away these past couple of days, Mr. Mitchell said.
Last year, Watertown hit a record high of 71 degrees on Nov. 9 before being dusted with snow two days later. However, despite Mr. Mitchells prediction of a colder than average winter last year, December though September all recorded higher than average temperatures, combined with a major drought throughout the country.
Overall, Watertown is 4.1 degrees below average so far this month, Mr. Mitchell said. The daily highs are 5.7 degrees below average.

TAMPA, FLORIDA -- Our family vacation began with a flight to our usual place of destination which meant we were flying into Tampa Fl. Our reservations were made 6 months in advance and now it was time to soak up the sun, First we got on the shuttle to the off sight rental facility of Payless Car Rental in Tampa, FL. When we arrived and noticed two people ahead of us we figured that this would be quick and painless at Payless, but instead it was the beginning of a NIGHTMARE!
I was listening to what the rental agents were saying to the people as they were being processed and a lot of it was concerning to me and sure enough my wife and I were next after waiting 45 minutes. They asked for the driver's license of all licensed drivers that would be in the vehicle, not of just the driver of the rental. Next we told them again the two car seats we needed even though this was already on our itinerary and listed on our confirmation.
The agent that was helping us started to go into a sales speak explaining to us what our charges were and what extra protection we should take. The first thing that caught my eye was the base rental fee of $589.00... WHAT?? We were quoted and reservations were made with a price of $245.00. Even though we had this set price that did not include the taxes and list of 6 other additional fees and then proceeded to tell us that did not include the car seat rental even though it was listed on our reservations and listed on the quote.
Continued by scare tactics for us to pay another $19.99 per day for protection that your insurance company would not cover... what was that I ask? The agent explained to us that in the state of Florida if I were to not take their insurance and there was damage to the vehicle whether my fault or not we would be liable for rental fees as long as it takes to get that vehicle back into operating condition... most likely that would take 30 to 45 days and we would have to put an additional $280.00 deposit down if we opted out of there insurance.
When you think that is the end we are only half way there... my wife saw another additional charge of $80.00... for a second driver... I was the only driver and I was the only driver listed, but in the state of Florida as was quoted by the agent all licensed drivers must be charged this fee! At this point I was ready to take the shuttle back with my 16 month and 4 yr old boys and head back to the airport... were told that we would still be charged and that we would have to dispute these charges with our credit card company!
We sucked it up took the rental walked out to get in our full size rental vehicle to find a Nissan Altima! Nissan and all other rental companies list this vehicle as mid-size! When we returned home to contact Orbitz and Payless we got a credit of $27.00... Our final bill $554.00 Our quote $245.00 difference $309.00 more than quote and a bad start to a much needed vacation! BBB here I come!
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- I received a price from Hotwire for Payless Car Rental for around $121. When we arrived at the Payless Car Rental facility, I had about 6 to 8 people behind me with only one agent. I showed him the Hotwire paperwork and he immediately started trying to hard sell me on getting additional insurance but I told him that my insurance would cover the rental but he kept on going about that it wouldn't cover this and that, windows, etc. minor damage, etc. After 4 times of saying no, he finally said OK and that he could put me in a Chrysler 200 convertible.
Wow, I told him that would be great. He never once mentioned ANYTHING about additional charges or upgrade or anything to indicate this would cost me more money. In fact the customer in front of me was upgrade (for free) to a VW Jetta so I didn't think anything of it. He then told me they would have to hold $280 or so until I brought the car back but it would be refunded to me. I thought that was pretty high but I had people waiting behind me and appointment to make. I would say about 4 days later I remembered this and looked at my paperwork. It showed that the agent had charged me an upgrade cost of $25 a day for the Chrysler for $125.00 extra.
I put in a complaint to Payless Car Rental through their web site but as of this complaint I still haven't heard a word from them. When I brought the car back, the agent I worked with was working so I went to him and explained my issue with being charged $125 extra for this upgrade which he NEVER mention any additional costs at all. I told him that if he had mentioned any type of charge in association with the Chrysler, I would said no way. His response was that I should have known better.
He said that he had circled the total cost and that I had signed the form showing the cost. I told him that I thought that was to deposit that he told me about and why hadn't he circled the upgrade cost of the Chrysler since he was being so upfront, he had no answer. He told me he would give me $60 back but I told him no since I shouldn't have been charged the $125 in the first place. He never once disclosed that he was charging me more for the Chrysler. The whole process seemed very under handed and high pressured. Not to mention that you are charging someone an additional $125 a week is dishonest. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM.
MONTREAL -- Payless Car Rental Montreal – hidden geographic restrictions on "unlimited miles."
A few months ago I booked a car on Travelocity to go from Montreal to a location 600 km away and back again. Naturally like a fool I gravitated to the cheapest option – Payless car rental based in the Montreal airport hotel, an independent franchise. What a delight when on the screen I saw unlimited miles; however little did I realize there was a hidden clause on the next tab of the page under geographical restrictions saying unlimited miles is only for the province of Quebec.
Anyway I went ahead and booked the car and also 2 hotel rooms in my destinations for the 3 day vacation. The day before our journey I went over to the location and was straight off asked where I was going, and like an honest bloke I said such and such place. I was immediately nailed with the "then sir, unlimited miles does not apply." I was reeling. Should I cancel and get another car? Should I try to negotiate? It was too late to cancel my vacation. This was the classic bait and switch.
I left the place and sat in the lobby to think for a bit; it's interesting that when I dropped of the car later I saw 2 fellows cancel their reservation on the spot. Anyway it was too late so I went ahead and got the car, and begged them to lower my over distance fees. I hate getting surprised like this. I hate losing control over my destiny, and being at the mercy of others. Anyway through their infinite magnificent grace and mercy they decided to extend by daily km allowance out of province and to reduce my charge per over km. Nonetheless when I brought the car back I was hit with a huge excess charge.
Of course the smart fellow behind the counter blamed it on me, saying it was my fault I did not read the fine print. How convenient. I wonder how the credit card companies like it now, in North America, that the governments are forcing them to vomit the sneaky fine print out into bold letters in boxes above the sign here line.
I wanted to be a bit of a smartass so I asked the guy, what if I lied and said I would drive around aimlessly inside Quebec. He said, well sir we will check this on the audit of the contract, with the satellite location finder records showing you left Quebec, and we will then hold you in infraction of the contract. So don't try that – honesty is the best policy always. By honesty I mean the complete truth, not part of it.
By the way this geographic limitation is quite bizarre. I only see this in Quebec only with Payless of course. I used to live in Boston for 10 years and regularly rented cars there for unlimited mileage and I never saw any geographic restrictions. I looked around other rental agencies and I think unlimited only applies to Canada, and entering the USA is altogether another aspect. These is in general a cautionary tale – call ahead and confirm that the unlimited miles means what it says; calls the agent you used [online or otherwise] and the rental firm. Finally get it in writing that it is indeed unlimited.
Conclusion – "Payless' means "Getless", and you end up paying the same as others, through tricks and games and deception. Located in the Lobby of the Hilton Hotel. 12505 Cote de Liesse, Dorval, Quebec H9P 1B7, Canada. 514-828-9494. Montreal paylesscarrental.net. http://www.paylesscarrental.com/
APACHE JUNCTION, ARIZONA -- My husband and I recently went to PAYLESS CAR SALES in Apache Junction. We were greeted by a salesman who quickly took us out for a test drive in a vehicle we looked at. My husband and I along with 2 of our children, loaded up in this vehicle for a test drive. Within a block of leaving the lot, we noticed that the speedometer was not working properly as it stayed at 30 MPH regardless of the vehicle moving or not.
The salesman said to just add 30 MPH to the number climbing at the time. There were other damaged equipment items installed on this vehicle. When inquiring about repair of those items prior to sale, we were told that the car is for sale 'as is'. We were reminded repeatedly that they were already taking a loss on the vehicle selling it to us, so the car was being sold 'as is'. I am floored that a company could attempt to sell a car to a family that knowingly has faulty equipment in it. We looked at other vehicles on their lot with a salesman.
We expressed an interest in 2 other vehicles but were told inside that the numbers wouldn't fly with the lender. The vehicles were within $750-$1,000 of the other vehicle we were looking at and similar in age and mileage. This didn't make sense. We had completed a credit application earlier and went inside to discuss approval and vehicle options. We were told that we could select the original SUV (with faulty speedometer and other equipment) or a minivan they pointed out to us. We stated we weren't interested in anything other than SUV's at that time. They agreed at the beginning to 'work on the price' of any vehicle we were interested in.
Upon further discussion after our test drive, we were told the list price was the best they could do since they were already taking a loss on the vehicle. In addition, we were told we HAD TO purchase the extended warranty. I explained that I actually am not opposed to car warranties, but that my understanding was that a dealership and/or lender COULD NOT demand an extended warranty, that these were optional to the buyer.
Over further discussion, the salesman STILL INSISTED that we had to accept their choice of extended warranty or the lender would not allow us to complete the loan. After excusing himself for a while, he returned with the same answer except now he offered a shorter term for more money. We left the dealership and went home to some more homework. We called several different people at the lender's office and explained what happened and the dealership we were dealing with.
They were very interested in any items that might have been misrepresented with their name attached by the dealership. The lender confirmed our thoughts that EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE IS OPTIONAL, NOT MANDATORY. We also gave them VIN #s, year, mileage, make and model numbers of other vehicles this dealership had, and they stated we would have qualified for these as well. So another lie by this dealership. Oh, and the price that was already too low to consider working on even though it had faulty equipment... they lowered it through at least 2 different car search websites only 2 days after we left!
Think twice, three times, or even 10 times before going here. They are trying to take advantage of people. We have called several times and explained our issues in detail and were double-talked and dismissed like school children. And 5 days later, still no word from the manager/owner that we also left messages for. I would be VERY CONCERNED for the nearby elderly, people with recent credit issues due to rising ARM mortgage payments, slow pays, late pays, new job, new to area, etc. Even with doing some homework and giving them several opportunities to correct themselves, they did not. They looked us right in the eye and lied. Outrageous!
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- Reservation was confirmed. Busses from LAX supposedly run every 10 minutes but if they are full they cut their route short and return to agency leaving other terminals waiting. Long line for check in but Fox counters stepped in to help out. Once contract printed you go wait in a Russian-style bread line with a bunch of other people for cars that are non-existent and they do not know how long it will take. At least they cue the waiters by the time the contract was printed. Plan for at least an hour possibly 2 or more. Their ought to be consumer protection laws for companies renting cars they do not have and apparently have to beg, borrow or steal from more reputable agencies! BTW... Rental booked through HOTWIRE so they have some shared culpability in this mess... They need to screen their partners better!
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- I rented a car in Los Angeles. While on the road, at 4 pm, I had a blowout. I got out in the pouring rain to change it and discovered there was no spare. I spent the next 45 minutes calling the only phone number on the rental agreement, which was the number of the office where I rented the car. I called 118 times and each time got a busy signal or no answer. I finally called the hotel where we were staying and they gave me the number of a towing company. I had the car towed into the nearest tire store because there was a hole in the sidewall of the tire. I had a new tire put on.
When I went back to the Payless counter at Fox Car Rental at LAX, they told me that I had to get the money from the insurance company. I explained that I hadn't been in an accident, but he said that didn't matter. I submitted the receipts and paper work to the insurance company and after three weeks was told that since the damages were only $208 and there was a $250 deductible that they wouldn't pay. I'll take the bus before I ever rent from these clowns.
TAMPA, FLORIDA -- They try to scare people to get insurance that you don't need which cost more per day than the car. They did that to me in Vegas and I fell for it. When I got home I called my insurance they said I'm covered it's a hard sell by some of the rentals. This time he said if I get a flat or run out of gas just call and they would come out and get me going, however when I signed the paperwork it was 30.00 more than my online quote they said because I elected roadside insurance at this point I just wanted to get out of there. I will never use them or any car rental company that uses such sales tactics again. The name should be pay more not Payless.
TAMPA, FLORIDA -- Stay away from Payless car rental company at Tampa airport. Extremely dishonest company lying about the rates. I attracted by rates and booked a car through internet just recently at the end of August 2014, but when I came to pick up the car they increased a total price three (!) times from internet total price for same type of car. Moreover, I reserved to pick up a car at say 11:30 a.m., but my flight was delayed because of weather conditions and I came to pick up at 4 p.m., because of this they charged me the extra day of renting. The personnel is rude. Don't rent thru this company, they behave like a scam.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- My husband and I travel quite often and have rented cars a countless number of times in the past. I've never been through a worst experience than Payless. The staff was rude, they ripped us off, the manager threw the contract in our face when we refused to take "the extra coverage". It was HORRIBLE and a bad way to start our vacation. It gets better, when we wrote to complain to their corporate office, they made it sound like we were complaining about the extra charges not about the abuse of their employees. Don't ever rent from them especially out of Vegas. Their employees there are beyond rude and horrible; especially the manager. Will complain to consumer affairs.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- I rent cars 15-25 times a year and I should know better than to rent from one of the off brands but to "save" a couple bucks I went with Payless this time because they were in the Las Vegas rental car center. They must have a top down management theory to suck as much out of a customer as possible up front because they will not come back. I Have my acknowledgment here for $234? That will be $250 sir. But I have it right here $234 in writing from your company. That will be $250 sir. Great way to start the vacation.
I don't care for any gas insurance any anything, please get me on my way. But sir many people get the blah blah, Very mad at this point, please give me the car and let me go. Finally get the POS car that I rented that has a hole in the carpet where your heal rests by the gas pedal bigger than a softball exposing the styrofoam and the cars metal floor. I take a picture to the desk and I'm told they are all like that and they don't have any others to give me.
Drive this POS for 5 days and upon my return there is no one to take it back. Finally one of their sloth-like employees manages to crawl out of where ever he was hiding to come out and be rude to the customers. Pay more money up front at Thrifty or Alamo or whoever.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clayby Michael Chabon
Staff Pick
The story of two young comic book artists in 1940s New York City, Jewish boys, one of whom fled the German steamroller heading toward his home in Czechoslovakia in a coffin, Chabon's third and best novel is utterly original, a generous fictional addition to the literature of twentieth century New York.
Chabon's agile prose guides readers through the ins and outs of comic book history; his language delights in retelling of original comic book stories about The Escapist and Luna Moth. From Prague to Levittown to Antarctica, the story spills from page to page with unbridled momentum, a war story, a romance, a fictional biography, a historical record of the comic book industry, all at the same time.
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
In 1988 Michael Chabon published the novel he had written for his master's thesis. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh was a critical sensation and the most talked about novel of the year — not bad for a twenty-something grad student. After a successful collection of stories, the "young star of American letters" set to work on an ambitious second novel called Fountain City. A bit too ambitious. Chabon could never quite pull the story together and eventually abandoned the project in favor of a story about a failed academic having problems finding the ending for a too-ambitious second novel. Wonder Boys had all the virtues of his first novel — charming characters, flawless prose, playful wit — with an additional dose of world-weary adult cynicism. Still, though an excellent effort by any standard, Wonder Boys didn't quite meet the expectations of Chabon's greatest admirers. His third novel far exceeded them.
At the heart of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay are Sammy Clay and Joe Kavalier, two cousins who forge a comic book empire in forties New York. What's so extraordinary about Chabon's novel is how much ground he is able to cover. Sprawling across several decades and a handful of continents — from war-torn Prague to New York City, California, and even Antarctica — Chabon's remarkable characters provide a virtual tour through the classic themes of the human experience: good, evil, romance, friendship, longing, despair — the whole package. Like all artists, Chabon accesses the power of the universal through the idiosyncrasies of the particular. And it's fun, to boot. Kavalier and Clay was both a critical success, receiving the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and an international bestseller, and is widely regarded as one of the best novels published in the past ten years. Farley, Powells.com
Publisher Comments:
With this brilliant novel, the bestselling author of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh and Wonder Boys gives us an exhilarating triumph of language and invention, a stunning novel in which the tragicomic adventures of a couple of boy geniuses reveal much about what happened to America in the middle of the twentieth century. Like Phillip Roth's American Pastoral or Don DeLillo's Underworld, Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay is a superb novel with epic sweep, spanning continents and eras, a masterwork by one of America's finest writers.
It is New York City in 1939. Joe Kavalier, a young artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdini-esque escape, has just pulled off his greatest feat to date: smuggling himself out of Nazi-occupied Prague. He is looking to make big money, fast, so that he can bring his family to freedom. His cousin, Brooklyn's own Sammy Clay, is looking for a collaborator to create the heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit the American dreamscape: the comic book. Out of their fantasies, fears, and dreams, Joe and Sammy weave the legend of that unforgettable champion the Escapist. And inspired by the beautiful and elusive Rosa Saks, a woman who will be linked to both men by powerful ties of desire, love, and shame, they create the otherworldly mistress of the night, Luna Moth. As the shadow of Hitler falls across Europe and the world, the Golden Age of comic books has begun.
"The depth of Chabon's thought, his sharp language, his inventiveness and his ambition make this a novel of towering achievement." Ken Kalfus, The New York Times Book Review
"I'm not sure what the exact definition of a 'great American novel' is, but I'm pretty sure that Michael Chabon's sprawling, idiosyncratic, and wrenching new book is one." Daniel Mendelsohn, New York Magazine
"[A] novel of love and loss, sorrow and wonder, and the ability of art to transcend the 'harsh physics' of this world....Recommended." Library Journal
"It's absolutely gosh-wow, super-colossal — smart, funny, and a continual pleasure to read." The Washington Post Book World
"[A] towering, swash-buckling thrill of a book....The themes are masterfully explored, leaving the book's sense of humor intact and characters so highly developed they could walk off the page. Newsweek
"Well researched and deeply felt, this rich, expansive and hugely satisfying novel will delight a wide range of readers." Publishers Weekly (starred and boxed review)
"Elegant, lyrical writing meets gentle comedy." San Francisco Chronicle
"Product of a sparkling intelligence, undeniable talent and consummate skill." Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
"A page-turner in the most expansive sense of the word: its gripping plot pushes readers forward....Chabon is a reader's writer; with sentences so cozy they'll wrap you up and kiss you goodnight." Chicago Tribune
"This is a gladhearted novel, rich in story and character and invention, and a great escape." Orlando Sentinel
"Starts out as one of the most pleasurable novels of the past few years. It ends as one of the most moving." Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This brilliant epic novel set in New York and Prague introduces us to two misfit young men who make it big by creating comic-book superheroes. Joe Kavalier, a young artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdiniesque escape, has just smuggled himself out of Nazi-invaded Prague and landed in New York City. His Brooklyn cousin Sammy Clay is looking for a partner to create heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit America the comic book. Inspired by their own fears and dreams, Kavalier and Clay create the "Escapists," "The Monitor," and "Luna Moth," inspired by the beautiful Rosa Saks, who will become linked by powerful ties to both men.

IMO that is also a maturity issue. I used to like all that running around, drama, challenge of having a "bad boy".

But to echo my man Superocdman (Hard Dap). What is it about women and bad boys. Why do you love us (I mean them) so much.
but guys, i don't think all women are like that. if you meet a girl and thats what she's about, you have to let it go, even if you like her. i've met guys that i think are cool, and one or two have said things like, oh i'm too bad for you or something like that. and i say, ok, cool. i think maya angelou said something like when people tell you who they are then believe them. i know some signals have to have let you know they were about creating conflict and drama...
but i'm sure y'all have more experience than i do. good luck to you both.

Agave Nectar
Posted 02 December 2003 - 05:47 AM
I have a banquet coming up on Saturday for a health group that does not want any sugar used for their meal. They want AGAVE used, which is a sugar substitute ( I have never heard of or seen this before ). I did my homework and found that I will need 3/4 the amount of agave for regular granulated sugar. The group has also agreed to supply me with the agave.
The question I have is this: their dessert will be a double decker pumpkin chiffon tart ( a thin layer of traditional pumpkin pie, baked, then topped with a pumpkin chiffon ) The agave should be no problem in the pumpkin pie, but with the pumpkin chiffon, I need to create a meringue to fold in to the pumpkin mixture. How is this Agave going to affect my meringue? It is a basic meringue in which I heat up the egg whites and sugar till warm , then whip to stiff peaks.
The banquet is for 600 people, so a lot of agave would need to be used for the meringue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I will try a sample meringue tomorrow and let all who are interested how it goes.
P.S. The Agave looks like honey ( same color ) but is alot thinner ( think olive oil consistency ) The taste is very good and not as sticky as honey, but also not as sweet Now as I sit here with it lingering in my mouth, it has a tingling effect on my tongue and throat.
Take care,

It worked
The original meringue recipe was 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar, mixed with 8 egg whites, heated over a double boiler until warm to the touch, then whipped until stiff.
Used 1 cup Agave ( 3/4 x original amount of sugar )
Meringue came out tan in color, but that will be alright since I'm folding it into a pumpkin mix.

My wife buys miel de agave in Mexico - she says it has medicinal uses - we live five miles from the border so going to Mexico is an every day thing here. The product she buys is from Tlaxcala and has a full analisis showing 61% carbos.
Interesting product use -- I'll have to experiment. If anyone is looking for a suppler - let me know.
Posted 04 December 2005 - 01:00 PM
The brand available in most stores around here is Cucamonga, a subsidiary of Western Commercial Corporation.
Here is a list of their products.
The page also contains the nutrient profile of agave nectar and functional properties.
If you have tingling in your mouth from the agave, you may have an allergy. It should not cause numbness or tingling.
Yucca is a totally differnt plant - the roots contain saponins and were used as a soap.
Only the yucca flowers are edible, the "desert candlestick" that bloom in late winter, early spring.
Yuca is yet a different plant and the tuber is edible.
Agave nectar is kosher.
Blue agave is the plant that is used to produce tequila.

Posted 03 March 2007 - 07:11 PM
As I mentioned above, I use it in dressing, marinades and have excellent results using it in fruit syrups and it was especially good in a toasted pecan syrup.
I have also used it very successfully in ice cream, gelato and ices.
My blog:Books,Cooks,Gadgets&Gardening
Posted 03 March 2007 - 07:14 PM
I use it fairly regularly and in fact used it in the pastry challenge round 2 for my sage ice cream.
Have you baked a cake with it before?
I'm going to experiment with chocolate cake tomorrow, as that's what the customer has requested.
Other than reducing the amount of agave used in a recipe (3/4 agave for every unit of sugar, as in the earlier post), can you provide any tips for using it?
Does it have a bit of an aftertaste?
Posted 03 March 2007 - 09:51 PM
The only tip is that I normally incorporate it into another liquid that is in the recipe (ie milk) on the stove top and consider it part of the liquid ingredients if that makes sense.
So for example, if the recipe was 1 C. Sugar, 1 C. Flour, 1 C. Milk...I might try 1 C. Flour and .75 Milk/Agave...but its all playing and I also am doing altitude adjustments at the same time.
Chef, Curious Kumquat, Silver City, NM
Posted 04 March 2007 - 10:47 AM
I haven't used it in a traditional sponge or genois, but I have in dacquois and shortbread, so i don't think I can give you a helpful response. And as for an aftertaste, there is a slight dull taste, but I don't think it would be noticed. Let us know how the experiments go.

For the recipe that I'm using for a chocolate chiffon cake, there doesn't seem to be excess liquid to reduce - to compensate for the addition of the agave syrup.
The liquid ingredients are yolks, oil, vanilla.
Boiling water is added to the cocoa powder/coffee powder - should I reduce some of this water? Eliminate the water and replace it with the correct amount of boiling agave syrup? Any thoughts on this?
The cake is in the oven right now, and I didn't decrease any liquid in my first attempt. THE batter was quite thin - will see how it baked.
Thanks again.

Posted 04 March 2007 - 04:30 PM
I reworked the recipe to remove the boiling water that was supposed to be added to the cocoa / powdered coffee and just sifted these items into the dry ingred. The agave syrup added almost exactly the same amount of liquid to the recipe as the removed water, and I added that with the yolks / oil / vanilla.
The reworked cake came out beautifully! And, due to the chocolate, I can't taste any aftertaste from the agave.
I have to say that I got out my Cake Bible and played with cake percentages to truly inderstand what was going on.
Tonite I'll experiment with Italian Meringue Buttercream (I want to see how the agave works when boiled) and some sort of chocolate mousse / fudge frosting that I can eliminate the sugar from.
Any thoughts on a good chocolate filling for this chocolate chiffon cake - one that I can substitute agave syrup for sugar (no semisweet chocolate allowed here!)
Posted 04 March 2007 - 06:44 PM
The meringue was fine - but as I added the room-temp butter into the cooled meringue, it curdled. I continued to whip it as I added vanilla and a drop of lemon juice, but no improvement.
So, thinking that I had to do SOMETHING...I added more a bit more butter.
That actually made the mess curdle into larger clumps - like cottage cheese.
I refrigerated the mess, hoping I can rewarm and rewhip it tomorrow.
It looks like there's too much liquid in the buttercream...?
Does anyone have thoughts on how to create a buttercream with agave?

Sugarseattle, Here's a site with a demo using agava syrup. It's from the marshmallow thread. It is a site that also sells agava.
I love the flavor of agave...we use it all the time to sweeten our tea, and i often put a little squeeze over fruit salad...it gives it a nice floral scent.

I am going to FLW for 88M AIT soon. i am split-op so i have had a little time between BCT and AIT. I got my date and was told that transportation will not be provided for me once i get to St. Louis. I was told that i have to find my own ride to the base and get to the building/area that i need to be at. has anyone had to do this and is it normal? Will it be difficult getting on base and getting to my area on my own? If anyone could share some knowledge or experience it would be much appreciated.

Re: 88m ait
My recruiter and the guys at MEPS told me this information. They said that i will not be given transportation (a bus ride) with all the other soldiers because many of them are BCT bound. they said to make sure i bring enough cash so i can pay my own way and be reimbursed later for my travel expenses. I'm kind of worried about getting to exactly where i need to be. i was wondering if anyone who reclassed had to do something similar? I am also going 10 days before my training start date. i dont know why that is either. I'm hoping i can jump in an earlier class. I know my buddies i went to basic with went right to AIT and started after the weekend. I hope all this works out.

Re: 88m ait
You are going 10 days before the start date because you will go through reception again. That part of the story makes sense. The rest of it doesn't. All the soldiers that we ship to Lwood, both basic and split option, all get a ride to the base and don't provide it for themselves.
Re: 88m ait
Pretty sure there are bus shuttles from the USO in the St Louis Airport to FLW. I would contact your Recruiter or RSP Cadre for further info. I am almost positive that there is a shuttle, because I rode it many many years ago. Let us know what your immediate supervisors say and if needed we might be able to get further info fo you.
Re: 88m ait
I talked to my recruiter and he said that i should get on that shuttle and go with all the people going to BCT. Once i get to FLW i will have to somehow get my way to where i am supposed to be. Will i really have to go through reception again, even if it has been less than a year since basic? I will have all my issued equipment and my physical and shots should be up to date. What will i have to do in reception? is it possible for me to jump into an earlier class? Or will i be stuck in reception for 10 days doing a **** duty and bored out of my mind?

Re: 88m ait
My RSP cadre drove me to my report to building.
...kicked me out of the van and said good luck.
Don't forget your shot record (trust me). It's a different reception that before. Usually split ops will arrive a couple days before the main body (people who go straight through from BCT to AIT). You will get to know your drill sergeants (or are they just sergeants now?) and learn the area. Usually you'll be put in a leadership position first because of that. When the main body arrives, just watch as they step off that bus... boy it's funny to watch them get smoked in their Class A uniform!Last edited by Mr_Loki; December 28th, 2011, 10:52 AM.

I have a column over at ESPN.com. The takeaway:
Full piece is here.
For Clippers fans, each scenario is awful for a different reason. The possibility that Brand never harbored any love for Clippers fans -- that his outward displays of loyalty were intended solely to bolster his "good guy" image -- is gut-wrenching. But what's equally terrifying is the idea that the Clippers can't even get it together to retain a player who actually wants to be there, all things being equal. That would mean recent flashes of know-how by the organization are merely aberrations in a terminal course of failure.Clippers fans, by their nature, can stomach a great deal of indignity. But either circumstance -- cold-blooded betrayal or woeful neglect -- is something not even Clippers fans are truly equipped to deal with.

[Intro - Chamillionaire]
They like "where you been man?"
I'm like "you'll find out when you need to know!"
Poison, coming soon
[Verse 1 - Chamillionaire]
H-town so throwed
If I said it, then you know it's what I mean
I do it all from my home
Cause that's who got me thinking I'm the damn king
I probably hurt a few feelings
Cause y'all be tricking on em way too easy
See you can feed a few pigeons
That's when you realise them hoes a tease
Live from the Bahamas
I gotta be honest
Working on a classic
Got to forgive me for my silence
Swear it felt like college
Knowledge that you gave was timeless
Knew that you had good brain
I knew you'd graduate with honours
My P was the finest
Bowing like she paying homage
Pulling that ponytail girl
What you mix with Pocahontas
Cesa triple zeros, working jumping over commas
You can say that I gave you love
But you can't say I gave a promise
Girl no dollars
And girl I'd love to kick it with ya
But you know I gotta run
And stack some hundreds in between
My trigger finger and my thumb
It was lovely while it lasted
But I think the time has come
Hope you keep your composure
When I say that it's over
We all done
Darling, we all done
She said I'm on one
Now that we're all done, done, done
I might not cuff and I might not trick
I might just split cause we don't just fit
Don't come back cause she might be sick
Cause she might be the one that I say i'm not with
When we all done
Loving the way she grip me
Loving the way my grip be
Feeling off in my pockets - and she's history
Legends like Snoop and 50
Maybach Coupe like Ricky
Feeling just like my dick
Be weighing a tonne off in my dickies
Ball like Kenneth Griffey
Hit it like Kenneth Griffey
They say stay on your toes
That's why I'm always on my tippies
Watch the people close in case
Any one of y'all acting shifty
Lipstick on my hollow tip
Don't let this clique give you a hicky
Posted in between the pillow
Laying near in the pyjamas
With the slickest Texas rhymer
That's when you know you can find her
Tell the dead i'm out of time
You know that that's a problem I'mma make her say
I know you didn't got her sounding just like Wonda
The 16th I be in Vegas, 26th I be in China
Booked 'til August, I come back
And drop a mixtape in my honour
We live from the Bahamas
Hope her panties is designer
- 3. We All Done
- 5. Pot Of Gold

LeoVince GP Style EVO II Slip-On Exhaust Ducati Monster 696 / 796 / 1100
The GP Style from the LeoVince SBK range of exhausts provides a great combination of quality, performance and price for those who want to customize their bikes quickly and without major modifications. The design is derived from LeoVince's experience with leading teams and engineers from MotoGP and World Superbike and their need for an ultra compact muffler that doesn't compromise performance. The muffler and mid-pipe are both made of sandblasted AISI 304 Stainless Steel and the muffler employs a Carbon Fiber mounting bracket.
As mass centralization becomes the key philosophy in the design of race bikes, LeoVince meets the demands of a performance-based low-slung exhaust that offers both a serious performance boost and a sectionalized, hand welded GP look. This pipe features the first ever "dual curved baffle design". This gives it both a unique race sound as well as great performance characteristics. To finish it off it is media blasted to give it a "Titanium look" finish.
The GP Style offers:

By By RICHARD SHAW
An envelope that had a powdered substance come out of it during handling operations at the Price Post Office on Thursday morning drew some concern from postal employees.
The situation was reported about 10 a.m. to the Price Police Department and then the County Sheriff's Office was contacted and they sent their Hazardous Waste disposal team to the building.
The substance, however, turned out to be harmless.
"We examined the envelope and it turns out that someone put a powdered drink packet in it," said Jason Llewelyn, the director of the Hazardous Waste team. "I guess when it went through a mail sorting machine it just kind of went poof and spread the powder around."
All precautions were taken with a County Ambulance team showing up as well.
Generally those that send anything hazardous through the mail to someone don't put their address on the envelope. In this case the mailing had a return address on it.
The whole incident was resolved well before 11 a.m.

New GSA Initiative Replaces Aging Federal Fleet with Hybrid Vehicles
May 29, 2013
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) on April 22 announced a new GSA fleet consolidation initiative to give federal agencies the opportunity to replace their aging fleet with hybrid vehicles. Through this initiative, GSA will expand the number of hybrid vehicles in the federal fleet by up to 10,000 vehicles, resulting in the reduction of approximately one million gallons of fuel per year for the life of these vehicles. This opportunity will allow more efficient fleet operations, create significant savings through fuel efficiency, and make government more sustainable.
Through this initiative, federal agencies can now consolidate vehicles into the GSA Fleet inventory. If agencies choose to participate in the program, GSA will fund the total incremental cost to replace eligible vehicles with new hybrid sedans. See the GSA press release.

Your calendar is no doubt stuffed with holiday cocktail parties galore right now, so we figured you might welcome a few festive beauty ideas for all of these upcoming events. (Plus, New Year's Eve is right around the corner!) Rather than reaching for your favorite red nail polish or attempting some sort of updo, this season we highly suggest adding some glimmer to your signature celebratory look via metallic beauty products. Whether it's stunning silver eye shadow inspired by Nicole Richie or a stone-studded barrette like Eva Mendes, these molten metals are a must-try trend for the holidays!
If you're searching for a beauty look that has the same effervescent spirit as a glass of champagne, we have a tip for you: put down the smoky shadow and reach for something with a little silver or gold shimmer instead. You can wear just a smidge of metallic liner on your lower lids, add a pop of pale gold shadow to the inner corners of your eyes like Scarlett Johansson did at the Mango Fashion Awards in Barcelona, or go for a full-blown silver lid, similar to the look Nicole Richie showed off at a LACMA gala earlier this fall--it's flattering and festive any way you do it!
To achieve this look, don't worry about technique, just focus on finding the right product. Topping our list right now is Make Up For Ever's Rock For Ever Aqua Eyes ($36) eyeliner set, which is a tiny kit that comes with five travel-size pencils in the most perfect colors ever. In addition to the Silver 8L pencil, which is shown above, you get four other essential shades, including an excellent bronze, graphite, gold, and a matte black too. Though waterproof and smudge-proof, these pencils are soft enough to be used as eye shadow, which we definitely suggest doing! Giorgio Armani's Eyes To Kill Eye Shadow ($32) in White/Black Grey is another noteworthy product with a unique texture (it's not a powder or a cream, exactly, but something lovely in between), plus you can use it wet or dry for different dramatic effects.
Okay, so we've definitely been hammering home our love for metallic nail polish all season long, but we've saved a few of our favorite products for this very story! As seen on the fall runways and the hands of countless ladies--including Ginnifer Goodwin, who wore Chanel's limited-edition nail polish in Steel to a party at LA's MOCA last month--these dark lacquers look most chic in shades of gunmetal or pewter.
Admittedly, there's a slew of stellar products on the market right now, but we have tried everything and have narrowed it down to these top three contenders. Thus far, our favorite polish is definitely OPI's Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous ($8.50); it is subtly shimmering and the ideal unfussy shade of gunmetal. If you prefer warmer hues, we suggest checking out Dior's Vernis Nail Enamel ($21) in Czarina Gold, which is more of a black-gold hue with an antique and lustrous look. Finally, don't miss Chanel's newest polish--which is from their Spring 11 collection and set to hit counters any day now--Black Pearl. It's dark enough to give your nails a smidge of attitude, but the pearlized formula ensures you'll still look polished.
Our final trend is also our favorite: haute-rocks hair! Originally inspired by the insanely gorgeous barrettes that were pinned into the models' hair at Rodarte's S/S 11 show, we think a bold hair accessory is the perfect accent for the holiday season. These chunky barrettes are tough and delicate, so they're sure to appeal to a wide range of tastes, plus they're going to be huge for spring, so we suggest getting a jump on the look now! As for styling particulars, at Rodarte the Aveda team (who were responsible for the show's hair) placed the stone-embellished barrettes just above the models' ears, but we think these barrettes also look amazing worn low on the head, as Eva Mendes demonstrated at a Glamour event celebrating female filmmakers earlier this fall. Steeve Daviault--the guru responsible for Mendes' fabulous hair--used a barrette he found at a beauty supply store in Los Angeles, proving that you don't need a designer accessory to achieve this look!
If you're ready to rock this must-have accessory too, we've got the most amazing item to suggest: the Fool's Gold Barrette ($36) by Luv AJ. If you visit WhoWhatWear.com regularly, you no doubt know that we're huge fans of the entire Luv AJ line--especially the pyrite-studded pieces--hence our excitement about this barrette. Designed specifically for this story and available exclusively at Shopbop, this chunky barrette is definitely a showstopper, so be sure to buy one today!

MASSENA Children looking for something fun and new to do this summer may look no further than the Fourth Coast Watch Massena Pathfinders Drum Corps.
Village resident Doris C. Lacks, a member of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, is looking to form the group and begin marching in events this summer.
While the group is sponsored by the church and its Pathfinders Club, Ms. Lacks said membership, or even attendance at the church, is not required.
I want to help get kids off the streets who dont have anything to do except for sit and play video games or watch television, she said. We will not urge you to become members of the church or believe the way we do. We do expect you, however, to do your best in being kind, tactful, responsible, completely honest and do what you can to help others.
The group is for students ages 11 through 18 who are not already in a band or sports.
Ms. Lacks said there will be a small membership fee, but uniforms (except for sneakers), drums and even lessons all will be provided.
This is my idea and Ill be paying all the bills, she said, adding that she hopes to have the group up and running in time to march on the Fourth of July.
I graduated from Iowa and played in the marching band there, so I do have marching experience, Ms. Lacks said, though she also seeks adults to help lead and instruct the band.
She said she hopes to have the group meet twice a week and occasionally on Sunday. In addition to learning to drum and march, members will be treated to camping trips and outings and have an opportunity to participate in community service events. The group will include four color guard members. Instruments will include three snares, two tenor drums, two bass drums and a pair of cymbals.
Interested participants or parents should contact Ms. Lacks at 353-2046 or 212-4350 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
