You should be able to clay and wax away
and welcome to MOL!
check out the list o' links made by Ryan aka:lilblkblt04, upper right on the home page. Lots of information to keep that Bullitt shiny.
Philippians 2:14 - Do all things without grumbling or questioning,
since the is your first post welcome to MOL and the paint is baked on at the factory and is ready before it ever sees a car lot so you are good to go . I would like to suggest NXT tech wax 2.0. I personally love the way it looks on a black car. It leave a slick and real wet look

Do i have to claybar? Im kinda scared. I do wax like every 2 weeks though.
Even on some new cars right off the lot you will be shocked of what can be removed by claying the car. Not saying all new cars need to be clayed but you should properly inspect the paint to see for yourself. Just simply run your hand over the clean finish and if it does not feel as smooth as glass then it needs to be clayed. Waxing every 2 weeks is a little overkill. You should only have to wax about once every 2 to 4 months depending on the conditions and contaminants the car is exposed to and maintain the car with something like UQD after every wash to restore that just wax look.

But it wouldnt hurt to wax as much right?
The paint was fully cured before the Mustang left the assembly line so you can treat it just like you would any cured and dried paint.
If the car has been damaged somehow while it was being shipped and the dealership that you bought it from re-painted any of the panels then this would be fresh paint and you would want to let it completely dry and cure for about 30 days before applying a wax.
Just because a car is new doesn't mean it doesn't need to be clayed or that the Dealership hasn't swirled it out. Wash the car and then feel the paint with your clean hand, it should feel 100% smooth and glassy. If you feel little bumps you need to clay the paint.
Look at the sun's reflection in the paint and hope it doesn't look like this,
DISO = Dealer Installed Swirl Option
Cobweb Swirls vs Rotary Buffer Swirls
Hopefully it looks clear and swirl free and you can go right to washing and waxing.

"Find something you like and use it often"
I was scared at first also. Taking it up a notch on how I detailed. After trying a section with the clay. I was amazed at how easy it was. It was also cool. How after lubing the section rubbing the clay on the paint. Then looking at the clay and seeing all the bonded dirt just lift away and transfer to the clay. It was great.
I would inspect your paint, like Mike says. If not completely smooth , getthe clay kit. I bet you will see a big difference.
quality creates its own demand
I'm also an '08 Bullitt owner and post over at IMBOC.com, they are the guys that turned me on to these products.
I don't believe it is necessary to clay a new car unless, as stated below by Mike...
Some of the cars will pick up a lot of dirt in the rail transport, etc. Just do as Mike Phillips says if any of the above is true in your case.
My car came in smooth, and I told the dealer ahead of time not to jack with anything on it. I then washed and waxed using Meguiar's method, but without the claying, as it did not need it. It's important to buy the right products, especially the terrycloth and/or microfiber towels. I keep all my stuff in a Tupperware tub in the trunk. In addition, I have found the Meguiar's Quik Detailer to be great as a maintenance tool for bugs/dirt between washes and waxes.
These Bullitt cars look so damn cool when they are glassed out like this! I can look at mine for hours!
I washed, clayed, and waxed today and wow, what a difference! This car just looks and feels fantastic with a good clay and a coat of Gold wax. Take a look...

Dorset's Lost Village
Tyneham is a small village nestling in the valley below Whiteway Hill. However, it is no ordinary village, but one where time has stood still except for the ravages of time, which have taken their toll. For Tyneham was once a populated village, the villagers living their daily lives without thought of what one day was going to happen. The Second World War came and although Tyneham was not a place likely to be targeted by bombs, the Ministry of Defence targeted it instead. The villagers were told to leave their homes in order that the army could take over the land for the duration of the war. They were promised their homes back at such time as the war ended, but in the event, they never got to live in their homes again. It is still to this day M.O.D. land as indeed it is all around the area. Access to Tyneham is only when the M.O.D. allow, mainly at weekends, when there is no practice firing on the ranges. Now the little village lies in ruins except for the church and old schoolhouse that has been preserved as it was left all those years ago. The names of the pupils are still there with their coat pegs, their work still on the old desks. Post Office Row, Tyneham Village and the old Schoolhouse It is a strange experience to walk round the village, haunted by times gone by and time stood still. The houses, the laundry cottages, the rectory, all are in ruins. Many of them are now too dangerous to walk into and there is no public access allowed. Telephone Box, a fireplace in one of the houses, St. Mary's Church, Tyneham A walk out of the village leads to the ruins of Tyneham Farm and the old farmlands where sheep still graze. Turning right and following the path for about 3/4 of a mile, passing the ruins of Sea Cottage, leads to a secluded beach at Worbarrow Bay. The ruins of Sea Cottage and Worbarrow Bay The beach is rocky with shingle leading to sand. The water is very clear, almost transparent. |

TIP OF THE DAY: Ways To Enjoy Fruit Liqueur
If you've got bottles of fruit liqueur that don't see much action, take them off the shelf and put them to use! Liqueurs were first produced by medieval alchemists as medicines. Some were noted for their digestive benefits and became after-dinner drinks, served in small liqueur glasses or on the rocks. Start experimenting with your liqueurs: |

Have you ever heard of big black dog syndrome? Until just recently I never thought twice about the color of my dogs fur then I heard about big black dog syndrome. I was amazed when I heard that big black dogs were euthanized at a much higher rate then other dogs.
As mentioned earlier Big Black Dog Syndrome is basically the fact that big black dogs get euthanized at a much higher rate then other dogs.
There are many ideas and theories as to why black dogs don't get adopted as easily:
- They don't show in kennels as well – features on a black dog can often times not be seen very well when shown in a kennel.
- Grey hairs show more easily on their coat making them appear older then they actually are
- Superstitions and bad press – stories, poems, movies have often portrayed black dogs as fearsome and evil.
- Teeth on a black dog can look whiter and more menacing
- Black dogs aren't photogenic – we even mentioned this one in a post about Stetson: 4 Steps To Avoid In A Puppy Group Photo
Which Labrador Retriever would you choose?
Stetson and his siblings – from left to right Stetson, Stuart, Salem, and Sukie.
Linus the Big Black Dog
Linus is more of a medium sized dog at 55 pounds, but he's tall and lean and therefore looks a little bigger then he really is.
I wasn't sure what kind of dog I was going to get when I picked up Linus from the shelter, but the color of his fur was just one minor detail amongst the different criteria I planned on using to choose my next pet. Before choosing Linus I visited several breeders and had my eye on one particular chunky little yellow Labrador Retriever we visited out in Riverside, CA.
However, a few days after putting a deposit down on the little yellow lab I saw pictures of a couple puppies at animal shelter in Carson, CA. The puppies were mixed Australian Shepherds and in the picture one had a the tri-color look (black, tan, and white) and the other was solid black with a small white spot on his chest.
When we saw the two puppies I remember commenting on how beautiful the tri-color puppy was and was instantly taken by her beautiful coat. However, I still was intent on testing personality over looks (isn't that what we always do when starting a relationship). After putting both puppies through several personality tests I thought both dogs passed with flying colors, but I was leaning towards the solid black puppy versus the tri-color. In the end I ended up taking home the solid black puppy and named him Linus. While I was much more attracted to the tri-color coat I ultimately (and now happily) went with the dog I thought matched my personality best.
I guess Linus wasn't a big puppy, but I knew he was going to be a medium to large dog. If you plan on getting a dog take a good look at the black dogs as well as the other colored dogs. A black dog can be just as good a pet as a golden, white, tri-color, blue merle, and any other color you can think of.
Have you heard of black dog syndrome? Do you have a black dog and why did you choose him or her?

NASA Says Goodbye to Phoenix, but Spirit Shows Life

Phoenix may be lost forever, but researchers unsure
NASA recently confirmed
its Phoenix Mars lander may be frozen
and could finally be lost for good, but has two spacecraft circling Mars looking for signs of life.
Odyssey is monitoring all radio transmissions, while the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took pictures revealing where the Phoenix was located. It's located in a dry ice field that is slowly thawing now that spring is approaching at the Martian north polar plains. Scientists didn't design Phoenix to endure the harsh Martian winter, but NASA officials hope to re-establish contact as the Martian North Pole begins to heat up.
Odyssey will attempt to monitor communications from Phoenix, but it's becoming less likely researchers will be able to regain full control of the orbiter.
University of Arizona researchers said it was unlikely they'll hear signals before they try again in February, especially after months of darkness and extremely low temperatures. Even in April -- when constant sunlight will hit the same location -- but researchers can only hope it wakes up.
Both Phoenix and Spirit have outlasted their anticipated lifelines on Mars -- and have provided additional clues about the Martian surface. After first reaching the planet in May 2008, Phoenix lasted more than five months longer than expected. Furthermore, it also found
evidence of water below the Martian surface
, with researchers disappointed over the possible loss of the rover.
It's a shame that the run is finally over, but NASA has been able to learn so much more about the Martian surface directly because of Phoenix. I hope it can thaw and communicate with Earth controllers again this spring, but it's looking even more unlikely.
Spirit is
currently in its own battle to survive
, but it's also unsure if it will be able to finally claw its way out of a massive sand trap.
"The explanation here is that the rover's rear wheels are climbing, raising the back of the rover," according to NASA officials. "Images from the rear hazard avoidance camera confirm this."
"We're Apple. We don't wear suits. We don't even own suits." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

"supposedly the motive behind it was to spread breast cancer awareness but honestly, i did not get a single link to any cancer awareness website." LOL That's the simplest way it could have been put.
It honestly turned into a sleaze fest with the girls updating their statuses and guys commenting on them. Nobody was amused. :| If anyone was, maybe those pervs who must have had a field day yesterday!
But this is the best angle to the who thing - including the Breasts Cancer website address in here. :) At least THIS should spread some amount of awareness if all those status updates did not. - 9:53 PM

"I simply don't write well enough--maybe decently enough for these forums, but no way for print or webzines."Not a few reviews I've read (and continue to see) in audio print and particularly anyone-can-be-a-reviewer webzines are little more than discursive ramblings more appropriate for, say, a philosophical journal. Others just lose themselves in adjectival generalities that do nothing more than regurgitate audio lingo that in itself is all but meaningless. Just keep in mind what the typical reader wants--a meaningful description and evaluation of the component under review, not a lengthy exposition of what the writer thinks is his or her erudition.
The reviews I've found most valuable follow this general format: A brief paragraph or two describing the product's design philosophy, its function (if, for example, it's a digital player, what formats does it support, etc.), its pertinent features, the quality of its construction (which may or may not be a guide to its reliability), and any quirks that may present ergonomic problems (e.g., hard-to-read display or remote, operational noises, disc loading anomalies, etc.); a list of associated equipment and brief description of the listening environment utilized for listening tests; several paragraphs (and this is the meat of your review) indicating what the reviewer hears while auditioning the component, citing specific recording tracks of specific discs to illustrate the component's rendering of, for example, vocal texture (say, taking a cue from your follow-up listing of discs auditioned for your Esoteric review, on a Dire Straits recording), tonality and timbre, the recording space, frequency extension, and so on--if you present examples from a variety of musical genres, the reader will get a better idea of the component's overall musical performance (in, of course, the context of the system it's connected to); and, finally, an overall assessment of the component's value, including a summary of its perceived strengths and weaknesses.
This is, of course, only my view of what works in reviews. Others may have different ideas and priorities. But I think that if you follow that basic approach when moved to write an equipment evaluation, you'll do better than not a few of the "official" reviewerati.
Forget fancy language. What it really takes is a lot of time devoted to serious listening and more time thinking out and writing down your perceptions of what you've heard, remembering to spell out specifics that illustrate your points. And you've already got a head start on that with your Esoteric mod review and your responses to the feedback you've received in this thread.

But things will be different this year if the accounting firm BDO Stoy Hayward has its way. The RAC management want to sack Stoy as auditors, replacing the firm with Price Waterhouse. In a competitive tender, PW offered to do the audit for £160,000, a good £90,000 less than Stoy's pitch. RAC members are being urged to approve the change in auditors at the meeting this Wednesday.
Fair enough, you might think. But Stoy is fighting to keep its client, accusing PW of pricing its audit service as a "loss leader" in order to get its foot in the door at the RAC and sell the club other more costly advice on tax, computers and management.
PW - Stoy reckons - is no different from a supermarket that prices baked beans and other staples below cost and then clobbers you on the price of fresh fruit. In an unprecedented move, it has written to the RAC's 13,500 members setting out its arguments.
This is not an isolated dispute. Allegations of "low-balling", as the predatory pricing technique is called, are on the increase.
Usually it is the Big Six accounting firms that are accused of unfairly poaching business from middle-ranking firms - PW has earned the soubriquet "half-price Waterhouse" because of its aggressive pricing. The trend creates obvious worries. One is that the accountancy firm gets too dependent on the audit client to remain totally objective.
In theory, auditors are appointed and paid by the shareholders, but it certainly does not feel that way. Can a firm be as robust in its assessment of the accounts of a firm paying it a £100,000 audit fee when it gets £500,000 in non-audit work from the same management?
It's an important question. The value of an audit is questionable at the best of times. Most auditors fail to notice that anything is amiss until after the wheels have fallen off.
And their record is getting worse: the percentage of cases where auditors qualify the accounts of companies that subsequently go bust is declining.
Any arrangement that intensifies the already too cosy relationship between management and auditors is to be deplored. There is a strong case for banning accountants accepting any non-audit work from their audit clients.
The Big Six argue that they can save clients money by offering audit and non-audit work together, because their staff are already familiar with the business. This is twaddle. The bulk of audit work is done by unqualified 21-year-olds who know less about tax or IT or management consulting than the cat.
Back to the RAC, I suspect that after 16 years in the job Stoy got a bit complacent and was charging a fairly fat fee. After all, it was able to wipe £54,000 from its charges as soon as it was confronted by a competitive tender. But that does not explain the still huge gap between its bid and the offers of PW and other firms that tendered.
The truth is that the RAC is a juicy worm for accountants. It is not just a couple of gentlemen's clubs. It also owns the commercial motoring organisation, which sells a string of services from car rescue to insurance. Last year, it earned after-tax profits of £7.6m on sales of £253m.
It may be just my mischievous mind, but there may be a further reason why PW is so eager. The RAC is one of those curious organisations whose members, though the legal owners, cannot get at the value their ownership confers. We have already seen how building society members are pressing to unlock that value. How long before some RAC members demand something similar for their club? By my back-of-the-envelope calculations they could each receive about £10,000 if the club was sold or floated. Meanwhile, there would be fees galore for the advisers.
RAC members should treat the PW proposal with caution. In my view, the fact that the club's finance director used to work for PW is enough to make it wiser for the club to look elsewhere for an auditor, if only to be seen to be above all criticism. If the RAC must take on PW, then it should insist the firm is not hired for any non-audit work. Unfortunately, on Wednesday I bet they will be more concerned about the billiard room and the windsor soup.
Swiss lesson for Warburg NEVER say never, but nothing now looks likely to stop Swiss Bank Corporation taking over SG Warburg's investment banking activities. The deal requires the approval of Warburg's shareholders and the Bank of England, but neither looks likely to baulk at the offer. A counter-bid is possible, but unlikely.
Warburg will enter the SBC maw, and as we report on page 1, that will mean adopting the aggressive style of SBC. In just a few years, SBC's contentious deals have managed to put noses out of joint all over the Square Mile - not least at Warburg.
Warburg itself was once the unloved outsider, founded by the Jewist refugee Siggy Warburg. But it long ago conformed and is now at the very heart of the City establishment.
It will be fascinating to see how the two cultures blend. SBC has shown it can successfully absorb alien organisations. But it will need every ounce of its renowned Swiss diplomacy to keep everyone at Finsbury Avenue happy. Bonuses or no bonuses.
Tadpole too hot to handle I SHUDDER to think how many small investors have burnt their fingers in Tadpole Technology, the whizzbang maker of portable computers.
It is one of those wonder stocks that attracts far more interest than its piddly size justifies. Some weeks it is the most popularly traded share on the stock market, as measured by individual transactions.
The company's own broker, Albert E Sharp, bears much of the blame for stimulating demand for the shares, recently opining that investors would not see "a more opportune moment" to buy. The rest is history.
The moral is plain: stop your ears when the house broker comes a-knocking with a red hot tip.

In a decision with important implications for structuring going-private transactions, Chancellor Leo E. Strine, Jr. of the Delaware Court of Chancery this week applied the business judgment rule — not the more rigorous entire fairness standard — to a going-private merger involving a controlled company and its controlling stockholder. The controlling stockholder conditioned its proposal on (i) approval by a special committee of independent directors and (ii) a nonwaivable, informed majority-of-the-minority stockholder vote.
The opinion issued in litigation arising from the 2011 going-private merger in which MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings acquired the 57 percent of M & F Worldwide (MFW) stock that it did not own. This decision is the first to apply the business judgment rule to a controlling stockholder merger. As the Court noted, prior cases had been read to require the application of the entire fairness standard of review to controller transactions, which made it effectively impossible to dismiss stockholder challenges before trial. The Court found that the dual, nonwaivable protections replicated the protections afforded stockholders in a third-party transaction, justifying application of the business judgment standard.

Background MFW formed a special committee. The special committee engaged independent legal and financial advisors. The special committee ultimately negotiated a $1 increase to $25 per share, a 47 percent premium to MFW's share price before the proposal was announced. More than 65 percent of unaffiliated MFW shares were voted in favor of the merger.
Stockholder class action lawsuits were filed in Delaware and New York. After the class was preliminarily certified in Delaware, the New York actions were dismissed. Following a flurry of discovery, plaintiffs withdrew their injunction application to concentrate on a post-closing claim for monetary damages. After the merger closed in December 2011, MacAndrews & Forbes and the other defendants moved for summary judgment on the post-closing damages claims, arguing that the dual protections of special committee approval and a majority-of-the-minority vote neutralized the controller's alleged influence over the process and price, and justified application of the business judgment rule. The plaintiffs insisted that the controller's presence on both sides of the transaction required entire fairness review, regardless of procedural protections, and that controlling precedent permitted only a shift in the burden of proof.
The Court noted at the outset of its 67-page opinion that the "case presents a novel question of law": "The question of what standard of review should apply to a going private merger conditioned upfront by the controlling stockholder on approval by both a properly empowered, independent committee and an informed, uncoerced majority-of-the-minority vote has been a subject of debate for decades now."
To answer that question, the Court first addressed whether the special committee and the majority-of-the-minority vote qualified as "cleansing devices" under Delaware law. The Court then considered whether or not the Delaware Supreme Court had already ruled on that question. After a thorough analysis of the underlying factual record, and the conceptual underpinnings of the business judgment rule and entire fairness standard, the Court concluded that "when a controlling stockholder merger has, from the time of the controller's first overture, been subject to (i) negotiation and approval by a special committee of independent directors fully empowered to say no, and (ii) approval by an uncoerced, fully informed vote of a majority of the minority investors, the business judgment rule standard of review applies."
From a transactional planning perspective, the proper implementation of these procedural protections is critical. As the Court stated, "a transactional structure with both these protections is fundamentally different from one with only one protection. A special committee alone ensures only that there is a bargaining agent who can negotiate price and address the collective action problem facing stockholders, but it does not provide stockholders any chance to protect themselves. A majority-of-the-minority vote provides stockholders a chance to vote on a merger proposed by a controller-dominated board, but with no chance to have an independent bargaining agent work on their behalf to negotiate the merger price, and determine whether it is a favorable one that the bargaining agent commends to the minority stockholders for acceptance at a vote. These protections are therefore incomplete and not substitutes, but are complementary and effective in tandem."
From a deal litigation perspective, the Court added, "by also providing transactional planners with a basis to structure transactions from the beginning in a manner that, if properly implemented, qualifies for the business judgment rule, the benefit-to-cost ratio of litigation challenging controlling stockholders for investors in Delaware corporations will improve, as suits will not have settlement value simply because there is no feasible way for defendants to get them dismissed on the pleadings."
Independent, Fully-Functioning Special Committee
With respect to the special committee, the Court reaffirmed that under Delaware law directors are presumed to be independent. Thus, to show that a director was not independent, plaintiffs must meet a "materiality standard, under which the court must conclude that the director in question's material ties to the person whose proposal or actions she is evaluating are sufficiently substantial that she cannot objectively fulfill her fiduciary duties." The Chancellor found that the plaintiffs failed to raise a triable issue that any of the special committee members were self-interested or lacked independence.
The Court also found that the special committee satisfied its duty of care. The special committee (i) hired its own qualified legal and financial advisors; (ii) was empowered to "say no definitively" to MacAndrews & Forbes and could "make that decision stick"; (iii) negotiated the terms of MacAndrews & Forbes's offer; and (iv) studied "a full range of financial information to inform itself." Moreover, the Court held that, even though the special committee "did not have the practical authority to market MFW to other buyers," the special committee had a reliable body of evidence concerning various strategic options available to the company.
Informed and Uncoerced Majority-of-the-Minority Approval
As for the second procedural protection, the Court found that an informed and uncoerced majority of the minority voted to approve the merger. The Court reaffirmed settled authority that the uncoerced, fully informed vote of disinterested stockholders is entitled to substantial weight under Delaware law: "Stockholders, especially institutional investors who dominate market holdings, regularly vote against management on many issues." "Thus," the Court continued, "when such stockholders are given a free opportunity to vote no on a merger negotiated by a special committee, and a majority of them choose to support the merger, it promises more cost than benefit to investors generally in terms of the impact on the overall cost of capital to have a standard of review other than the business judgment rule."
Importantly, the Court held that these two procedural protections were incomplete when used separately, but were complementary and effective when used in tandem.
The Court rejected the plaintiffs' argument that the Delaware Supreme Court had already answered the question presented in their favor, and instead agreed with the defendants' argument that the standard of review for controlling stockholder going-private transactions had never been addressed in a case where both procedural protections were deployed effectively. The Court examined prior Delaware Supreme Court cases beginning with Kahn v. Lynch, and found that none of these decisions involved the dual procedural protections described above. As the Court noted, "[i]n this case, MacAndrews & Forbes made two promises that were not made in Lynch. MacAndrews & Forbes said it would not proceed with any transaction unless the special committee approved it, and that it would subject any merger to a majority-of-the-minority vote condition."
Although the Court acknowledged broad statements in Delaware Supreme Court decisions suggesting that entire fairness applies to any merger with a controlling stockholder, the Chancellor noted that none of those cases involved deployment of the dual procedural protections present here, and held that "if an issue is not presented to a court with the benefit of full argument and record, any statement on that issue by that court is not a holding with binding force."
The Court held that the business judgment rule is properly invoked in controlling stockholder going private transactions if: (i) the controller conditions the procession of the transaction on the approval of both a special committee and a majority of the minority stockholders; (ii) the special committee is independent; (iii) the special committee is empowered to freely select its own advisers and to say no definitively; (iv) the special committee meets its duty of care; and (v) the approval of the minority is informed and uncoerced. The Court concluded that the rule that best protects minority investors is one that encourages controlling stockholders to accord the minority the protections of both procedural protections, and found that that application of business judgment rule review would accomplish that result.
If upheld on any appeal, the decision is a powerful clarifying step in the development of Delaware law on controlling stockholder going-private transactions.

P-glycoprotein Inhibition as Adjunct Treatment for Medically Refractory Epilepsy.
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
In up to 1 out of 3 patients with epilepsy, seizures continue to occur despite the use of one or more antiepileptic medications. Patients also have significant problems with side-effects of these medications as doses are increased.
Our body naturally generates miniature pumps located on the surfaces of many organs to get rid of toxic substances, and antiepileptic medications can be considered by the cells of the body to be a toxin. Research with epileptic brain regions have shown an increase in the amount of drug pumps, therefore getting rid of antiepileptic drugs. One of these pumps is called p-glycoprotein (P-gp for short). Medications may be unable to penetrate and stay within the parts of the brain that need them them most. This may mean that the amount of drug is actually lower in the parts of the brain that cause seizures, and higher in the rest of the brain, which may be why patients may still feel side-effects when seizures are still occurring.
Research in animals has shown that blocking the P-gp pumps can improve how bad, and how many seizures occur as well as the length of seizures. Blockage of the pumps can be done using a different type of medication. Some medications that are used for common problems have been discovered to also block P-gp pumps. One of these, carvedilol, is used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure. It has been found to be very safe in these patients, and does not have a lot of side-effects. We plan to add this medication in addition to patient's anti-seizure medications to see if it will improve epileptic seizures.
The reason why some patients have high amounts of P-gp pumps and others do not may be related to their genetics. A simple blood test can be used to determine a person's potential to produce high quantities of the pumps. This study will also attempt to show that the genetics will affect how well the P-gp blocking will work.

Detailed Description:
The Center for Disease Control reports that epilepsy afflicts 2.7 million Americans with annual costs of $15.5 billion. They estimate that 3% of Americans will have a diagnosis of epilepsy by age 80, and decided in 1997 to focus on treatment, with a motto of "no seizures, no side effects".
Antiepileptic drugs (AED) can fail, despite being structurally unrelated and acting on different parts of the nervous system. This refractory state constitutes up to 35% of the epilepsy population, and may be due to pharmacoresistance. Efflux transporters, such as P-glycoprotein (Pgp), are present at the bloodbrain barrier and serve to pump out structurally unrelated compounds, likely serving as a method for the removal of toxins (and drugs). Upregulation of efflux transporters such as Pgp by tumor cells are thought to contribute to chemotherapy resistant cancer tumors, but Pgp has also been found focally at seizure foci. Its overexpression was also noted in blood vessel endothelial cells following temporal lobe resection for intractable epilepsy. Case series have shown mRNA for MDR1, the gene encoding Pgp, to be 10x greater in the medial temporal lobes of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, as compared to those without epilepsy. Pathological examination following surgical resections have found that epilepsy causing lesions such as cortical dysplasias, encephalitis, tuberculous leptomeningitis, tuberous sclerosis and astrocytomas express Pgp in neurons and/or glia, whereas normal brain parenchyma does not. In animal and cell research, upregulation has been seen following seizure induction and status epilepticus. Many AEDs are validated substrates to Pgp in animal studies. Delivery of these medications to the brain is likely associated with Pgp and in some cases, presence of the substrate may upregulate Pgp.
When Pgp inhibitors were added to animal models of drug resistant epilepsy, there were significant improvements in seizure frequency, duration and severity, providing proof-of-concept at the animal level. Carvedilol and verapamil, among other medications, have been found to be potent Pgp inhibitors. Verapamil and dexverapamil, either oral or intravenous, has been used as Pgp-inhibitors in clinical trials, with success as an adjuvant in malignant lymphoma and a phase III study as an adjunct in chemorefractory, metastatic breast carcinoma. There have been no clinical trials published using Pgp-inhibition in epilepsy.

Last week it looked like we had the director for a new Alien prequel pegged, but news from Comingsoon.net now says otherwise. Carl Erik Rinsch may be out, as Fox, the studio that'll be making the film, really only want to see the project go ahead if Ridley Scott is at the helm.
Which we guess is a good thing, but still, this kind of wrangling doesn't often end well. But what really worries us is just how the writers are planning to get around some certain 'issues' thanks to the setup of Ridley's last effort on the franchise.
In fact, Alien fans who are familiar with the excellent documentaries on the Quadrilogy edition - and the various commentaries on the films - will have heard a lot of excited speculation and flights-of-fancy about a prequel, from the likes of concept artist Ron Cobb, Sigourney Weaver, Ridley Scott, prosthetic effects chief Tom Woodruff, producers David Giler and Walter Hill, and numerous other franchise luminaries.
Much of the talk has been about how a prequel could take us to the aliens' home world - but there's been confusion as to which culture was being referred to...
The Space JockeyIn Alien two extra-terrestrial cultures are depicted: the insect-like xenomorphs and the technologically advanced race of whom the only remnant example is the 'space jockey'.
The space-jockey himself was derived from a production sketch that Ridley Scott took a shine to, but proved to be one of many set-requests initially nixed by the line producer and the roving team of paranoid and penny-pinching executives that plagued Pinewood during the movie's production (the set was later offered to Scott as a fait accomplis for the great footage he was turning out).
The space-jockey embodies H.R. Giger's favourite themes: death, sex and disgust, with bones becoming melded to technology. He seems to be some sort of gunner or telescope operator - yet in the production sketch the projecting tube is pointing only at what appears to be light in a curved wall, with no means either of firing out or of viewing the stars. If it is a window, it has as narrow an aperture as any archer had to contend with in medieval times.
In addition, the fuselage of the 'cannon' is not only phallic but directing out from the space-jockey's hip area; we seem to come across the huge creature in a Pompeii-like moment of lonely sexual activity, frozen by the advent of the xenomorph that has burst out of its chest. It's a poetic image, and it might take a bit of a plot-hack to give it a practical slant.
The problem with sequels is that they have to make sense of stuff which was thrown into the originals that spawned them mostly by dint of being 'cool' or intriguing. Thus Neo's powers of flight, which made such a cool end to the original The Matrix had to be embarrassingly persistent in the sequels; and Michael J. Fox's girlfriend being immediately 'knocked out' by Doc Brown at the start of Back To The Future Part II; and even the walk-on parts in the original Tremors getting their own Tremors sequel.
You kind of have to project backwards and force it to make sense post facto. This might be problematic for an Alien prequel for many reasons...
Not least the space-jockey himself. He is patently part of a machine, and the machine is patently part of the (now derelict) spaceship. Was he bred for the purpose by his race? Or will the prequel show him ambulatory and getting into the 'empty' telescope/cannon and a whole lot of CGI cyber-bones wrapping round him, like Tony Stark's Iron Man suit?
That would solve a problem, but it's hokey and the design of the original space-jockey doesn't support it. The space-jockey is growing out of the chair. That's an insane idea from Giger's bizarre and brilliant imagination, but it might take a young David Lynch to make the concept workable in an Alien prequel. I can't say I envy Carl Rinch, or whomever takes the helm, the task.

Unrest mars early voting in Senegal election
- published: 19 Feb 2012
- views: 2150
http://www.euronews.net/ The Senegalese capital Dakar has been rocked by a fourth consecutive day of violence in clashes between police and opponents of President Abdoulaye Wade. They have been protesting against his candidacy in a forthcoming presidential election, claiming his bid for re-election breaks rules on a two-term limit. Their leaders have vowed to make the country ungovernable if he does not withdraw his candidacy. At least five people have been killed in disturbances since last month when the country\'s top legal body ruled that Wade could stand....

"Another good book by Radclyffe."
Another good book by Radclyffe. Tell me you will be doing a sequal to book one and two.
"Up to the high standard"
It's a great addition to the Radcliffe family of tales. You can always count on her and therefore I buy everything she writes.
"Kind of a disappointment"
Not what I was expecting after the Justice series. The novel felt thrown together and at moments, really cheesy.
The narration was just terrible! It made it hard to get into the book.
"Narrator very disappointing after Honor Bound"
The woman narrating this book is very distracting to the story as she is not able to change her voice enough to give each character a distinct identity - it really takes away from the book.
"Not for me"
It just wasnt what i was looking for in a story.
I was very disappointed in the book description. Can't believe I wasted a credit.
i wish the summary had indicated the characters were gay. Good reason to read the reviews.
"Wish I had known"
I didn't realize this was a lesbian novel (it doesn't show in the summary). Not my style. I just lost a credit and only listened for about 10 minutes. Sorry I only like girls as friends.
Not unless the book summary gave me more detail about the book
The book summary did not get evidence that it was about two gay women

Tiny Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Buttons
May 19, 2009 at 4:12 pm 83 comments
I absolutely hate these cookies.
First of all, they are addictive. The peanut butter cookie melts in your mouth and has a sugary crunch. They are topped with a whole chocolate chip – white, milk, or bittersweet – to make them bite sized and dangerously irresistible.
Secondly, they are adorable: teeny tiny baby cookies, smaller than a quarter. When I brought them to school, some of my girl friends actually squealed as they held one. "These are so cute!" And they really are as cute as buttons.
Thirdly, they are excellent for any baker's self esteem. I've never met anyone who didn't fall in love with these cookies. Nothing compares to the warm, happy feeling I get when people reach for their third, fourth, even fifth cookie. They're so small that no one can stop at one. And it makes me feel good.
And the last reason I hate these cookies? They are a real pain in the butt to make.
Every time I make these cookies, I actually say to myself, "I will never make these again." The recipe makes 15 dozen little cookies. That's 180 moments of happiness, 180 cute cookies on the cooling rack, 180 little balls of dough to measure, shape into circles, roll in sugar, and top with a chocolate chip.
Needless to say, I got very, very tired of making Tiny Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Buttons after about 8 dozen cookies.
Normally I would not even imagine posting such a frustrating recipe. But the results? Magic. I taste the first cookie and immediately eat my words. (Ha, ha, ha.) Every time. And there have been many times. And I know in my heart it won't be long before I make this recipe again.
I'm sharing it with you now for two reasons. I made them for my friend A-'s birthday as he is a PB and chocolate fanatic. (He is a good friend through everything and deserves fantastic cookies on his birthday, even if they are annoying to make.) Plus, I discovered that the dough can be frozen! Thank goodness you don't have to stand there and make 15 dozen cookies in one standing. Phew!
Your last excuse not to try them is gone.
My family was a little amused to see me standing in the kitchen, making cookies for such a long time. I was not. I briefly considered making them bigger, but I knew that would be beside the point. Half of the cookies' charm is their size. So I continued on. The things you do for friendship!
When I finally couldn't bear to bake another tray, I caved and wrapped the remaining dough in plastic wrap and stuck it in the freezer, planning to finish up the next day. Well, it turns out I didn't want to roll cookies the next day either. So I used heaping tablespoons and made normal-sized mounds of dough before pressing down with a fork. The result? The best peanut butter cookies ever.
I brought these to school to oohs and ahhs. Hopefully A- enjoyed them as much as I did and had a lovely 17th birthday. Special cookies for an offbeat, original, artistic friend like no other.
A few notes on this recipe:
– The recipe can be halved, but you need to consider that the recipe calls for 1 egg.
– Don't use your nice organic natural peanut butter on these. Use commercial PB, like Skippy's.
– I use evaporated cane juice, which is brown. Your cookies might turn out lighter than mine if you use white granulated sugar.
– Don't put too many cookies on each sheet. You need to press the chocolate chip into the cookie while it is still completely warm, and if there are too many cookies on the sheet they will cool too fast.
– The dough can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and frozen. I'm not sure how long they'll last, but I'd guess at least a week. Then take out of the freezer and let come to room temperature.
Tiny Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Buttons
From Hershey's Easy Baking
Makes about 15 dozen cookies, depending on size
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Granulated sugar for rolling
Chocolate chips (any type)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat peanut butter and shortening until well mixed, then beat in the two sugars until light. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla and beat until fluffy. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together, then add in 3 batches to the peanut butter mixture, beating well between additions.
I find that this dough is easier to work with when cold. Consider chilling the dough for 10 minutes or so before baking.
Using a 1/4 tsp, roll dough into 1/2 inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar and place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 5-6 minutes (5 is best for me) and remove from oven. Immediately press a chocolate chip into the center of each cookie. Let cookies cool a minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. [Note: the chocolate chip will be warm and gooey for some time, so be careful before stacking them.]
Alternatively, drop heaped tablespoons of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets and press down gently with the tines of a fork. Do not roll dough or coat with sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden for tasty PB cookies.
The cookies will keep for several days at room temperature in an airtight container.

wow. 15 dozen. that IS a lot. lol.
no worries elissa, you have so much more patience than most people to handle this kind of thing. if it was me, i'd be tired after rolling about 5…
they look amazing! close up in those photos you took, they look even better. =]
Wow! I can't believe those are tiny chocolate chips – all the pictures make it look like they are hershey chocolate kisses! Wow! The work!!!!
These are super cute. I don't like PB and chocolate together (gasp!) but I just might make these for my brother :-)
Monica – If you don't like PB and chocolate, how about hazelnut and chocolate? I think it might be possible to use Nutella instead of peanut butter with this recipe…. hmm! I hope someone tries it!
I love peanut butter! The photo where you stacked them all up is amazing.
Girl, you've gotta teach me how to take beautiful food photos :) Oh, and I've officially moved, so hopefully I'll be making your cake this weekend!!
Have you tried a melon baller or a tiny ice cream scoop for the cookies? Might be a little easier on the hands…
WOW – these are picture perfect. I'm so impressed by your talent.
These are lovely! I'd say your patience has been amply rewarded!
I can't get over the sugar grains! Yum! I adore these photos, especially the stacker. I admire your patience ;)
yay! my mom used to make these for bake sales when I was a kid, so they're giving me a serious case of nostalgia & big-time craving. yours look gorgeous.
Wow, these look absolutely delicious. I love peanut butter!
The pictures are great. -
OMG they are so cute!!! I bet you've heard that a lot.
You have way more patience than me. That cookbook looks good, would you reccomend it? -
Tianne – Believe it or not this is the only recipe I've tried from that cookbook. But it's a real winner. I would expect Hershey's to have good chocolate recipes since they are, after all, the huge American chocolate makers. I'll try a few more out and let you know :)
Is it crazy that reading about your frustration over hundreds of tiny cookies just makes me want to make hundreds of tiny cookies? :)
Great post.
Great Post Elissa!!!
I understand the frustration that comes from feeling one's "baker ego" elevate without control upon feeding loved ones tasty treats! It's hard to keep one's humbleness! But I guess that's the price you pay for being a baker ;) Dirty job, I know!
These are so cute!! hahaha I think that if I make them, the first few will be tiny, and they'll get progressively larger as I continue to roll! Maybe you can put Hershey's kisses int he middle and make them moster-sized! But they'd lose theyr cuteness and the perception of being guilt-free because of their size!
Great job, I love everythign about this post :) -
Adorable doesn't even begin to describe these tiny baked goods! Excellent work Elissa and lovely photos. I admire your patience.
These look awesome and remind me of those addictive cookies you always get at holiday parties except they look even better! I'm definitely going to make them, thanks so much for sharing. Love your blog and that peanut butter tower picture is too cute :)
These are darn adorable, but I can see why it'd be a drag to make a full batch!
these are PRECIOUS! it makes me want to throw someone a baby shower.
i love your blog and i think you are just adorable!
Just wanted to let you know I took you up on your nutella idea. Unfortunately it's very late here so I'm going to have to take the pictures tomorrow and then I'll post it on my blog.
Hi Elissa! I really want to try to make these cookies! I have a question though; in your instructions you say to add "the two sugars" but I only see one type of sugar in the recipe printed. Am I supposed to add something else?
Oh yeah I was going to mention that too, the recipe was missing 1/3 cup light brown sugar. I was wondering what two sugars meant too :P
Want to come to Australia this Christmas to help me with all my holiday baking? I love your patience!
Cam – Foodforhersoul is absolutely right, there is 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar along with the 1/3 cup white sugar.
In my study-weary brain I am getting really really careless. I'm sorry!
Foodforhersoul – I am super excited to see how the texture, appearance, and TASTE came out with Nutella! :)
I have just found your blog and I am so glad I did! My sis is having a birthday soon and these would be just a perfect labor of love!
Plus, from a person with two little ones, the smaller the cookie the better! I am marking this to make soon!
Your photography is beautiful..
Hey Elissa, I posted how they came out on my blog. As you'll find out it wasn't exactly pretty :P But I found a recipe specifically for using the nutella so that they come out right and they're delicious so if you're ever interested in laboring over these cute things again except with nutella then I've got the recipe for you. :)
Thanks for the info, Elissa! :) Can't wait to try them!
your friend a- loved them
c- and e- called them the ultimate "period cookie" as in…it satisfies every craving a girl has during her period…hahaha don't ask. -
Elissa! I tried these today! They came out SO great! mind you, like I predicted, mine were the mammoth version of yours. So not delicately cute, but monstrously attractive :)
hi..i made these over the wkend but why does my cookie cracks & crumbles when i press in the chocolate chip? is my dough too soft? i replace the shortening with half butter & half applesauce…wonder if that's the cause. i also did refrigerate it before shaping.
How to get your nice,smooth shape?? thanks!
Serene – Shortening is needed in this recipe rather than butter because it helps hold the dough together. I don't think you can substitute applesauce in a recipe like this… I think some fat is needed to cream with the sugars.
If I were you I would try it with shortening. Let me know how it goes!
alright…guess i have to buy shortening afterall…because i hardly use so i didnt want to get just a tub…anyway it was a hit among my frens (though not as pretty as yours). guess i'll go try it again soon…..thanks so much! =)
Wow those are too freakin cute!
Pretty much anything with the word "chocolate chip" is very addicting to me! These look great.
I'm obsessed with anything mini. That's why I was totally inspired by your photos – so inspired that I turned on the oven on a 85 degree day with 100% humidity.
I used butter instead of shortening and the cookies turned out great. The cookies were soft and so wonderful – they almost melt in your mouth. I started scooping the cookies with a teaspoon, but after the first batch, I realized the scoop was too big. You'd be surprise how small you need to roll them to make the chip look as cute as Elissa's.
Serene – your cookies might crumble because you overbaked them. I left a batch in too long and it was hard to get the chips to sink into the cookies. They only take a few minutes to bake and need to be slightly underbaked when you insert in the chocolate chip. And keeping it on the pan to cool for a minute helps the cookie further set.
All and all, a wonderful recipe! Thanks for the inspiration!
Hey! I just made these cookies. I didn't enjoy them as much but they are darn cute! Thanks for the inspiration!
You always do such an amazing job with your photos!! I'm going to have to try those cookies–they look really yummy!!
Those cookies look amazing! I have to try them:) I also love that first picture. You are an amazing photographer.
Too time consuming to make…where do I place my order?
WOW! These look delicious! peanut butter is my WEAKNESS!
Definitely trying these!
Thanks! :) -
omg these look delicious like tiny versions of my favorite peanut butter blossoms! i think i am going to have to make these.
would you mind if i featured this recipe on my blog? i will be sure to link to you!
Shannon – it would be an honor to have this recipe on your blog! I can't wait to see how they turn out.
Super picture. We'll take a dozen!

Hey~ so I tried making these cookies, and they came out fantastic–even my dad liked them. I wrote a huge post about them and everything, and my friends had a great time eating half of the 15-dozen cookies. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Umm, stupid question: where do I get cute chocolate chips like that? :D
I made these Tiny Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Buttons tonight – they're great. I modified the recipe just a smidgeon to see what would happen – and still lovely. I'm glad I stumbled onto your blog. (I hope to make my own 'baking blog' soon too. well, unless I add a baking section to my current, personal website. hmmm)

Creating an exceptional online presence requires an enormous amount of specialized knowledge. A blog is only as usable and useful as the template it is built upon. I have been doing research, thinking about, and reading up on better blog design. While some bloggers do learn to make WordPress themes do you really want to invest that much time in something you only really have to do once?
I've visited hundreds of blogs in the past few days making notes on what I like about each one – and equally important what I don't like. This exercise is highly recommended for anyone who will be creating a new site – especially if you're going to hire someone to design it for you. If you are not clear on exactly what you want, how will your poor designer ever please you? You don't want to be a clueless client.
First I stopped in on all the most influential Internet Marketing bloggers because they use the most cutting edge plug-ins, usually know Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and use Social Networking heavily. Their blogs are useful for deciding what to put in the sidebar – and when there is just TOO much there.
Would you believe I visited every one of the sites mentioned in Top 50+ Graphic Design Blogs? Who is more likely to have a beautiful blog design than a designer? Although I am graphics challenged, I have a lot of expertise in usability and Best Web Site Design so I was checking for specific layouts as well as design.
Surprisingly, it turns out I also have some very specific ideas about design.
I did not find that perfect design yet – much less one with sporting all the features I want to use. What about the blogs that receive the Best Blog Design Award? That could be the way to find the perfect layout to share with my Web Designer. Fortunately I didn't have to visit all of them as the thumbnail images allowed me to pick out those that had the right general design. Although that seemed like a good idea I quickly abandoned it as too time-consuming and non-productive.
My quest for The Perfect WordPress Theme (for me) continues. Come along as I define precisely what that perfect WordPress site would look like:
