Children are not miniature adults, and drugs intended to be consumed by adults aren't necessarily good medicine for kids. A blog post on the FDA Voice website explains why.
Lynne Yao, associate director, Pediatric and Maternal Health Staff in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, reminds readers that some drugs work differently according to where in the human maturation the person taking them is. Efficacy is one issue for children taking drugs intended for adults, and safety is another. "That's why products that are used in children," Yao says, "must be studied in children."
Two recently reauthorized laws promote that effort. The carrot is the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA), which offers drug companies six months more of marketing exclusivity if they conduct FDA-requested pediatric studies. The stick is the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA), which requires some drugs developed for adults to be studied in children. The studies must be conducted with the same drug and for the same use for which they were approved in adults.
As Yao notes, before BPCA and PREA became law, more than 8 in 10 drugs approved for adult use were being used in children, even though their safety and effectiveness had not been established in children. Today, it's about 5 in 10. And now that both acts have been reauthorized with additional FDA powers, the hope is that the disparity will shrink farther.
Under PREA, FDA may waive studies in children if they aren't necessary, such as a drug prescribed for a disease only adults contract, like prostate cancer.
When Congress reauthorized PREA last year as part of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), it gave the FDA additional authority. The agency may grant extensions for deferred pediatric studies at a sponsor's request if there is good cause; say, the manufacturer has tried but failed (so far) to recruit a sufficient number of pediatric patients to complete the study.
Sometimes the FDA allowed a deferral and still the deadline was missed, so now, if a sponsor fails to seek or obtain a deferral extension, fails to submit deferred pediatric studies by the final due date agreed to with FDA or fails to request approval for a required pediatric formulation, the FDA will send a noncompliance letter to the company and publish it on the web.
The first such "we warned you" noncompliance letters were published last month, along with the manufacturers' responses. You can track this show-and-tell at the FDA's public page here. Among the early letters and responses are those concerning an intravenous form of Protonix, a drug to reduce gastric acid made by Pfizer, and Renvela, taken by people with chronic kidney disease, made by Sanofi.
Other drugs on the tardy-testing list include allergy, anaphylaxis and blood pressure medications, all of which are prescribed for children.
As noted on AboutLawsuits.com, however, it's unclear whether these laws and the transparency of noncompliance give the FDA enough muscle to compel compliance.
The letters state that the companies failed to satisfy their obligations to conduct pediatric studies on approved children's medications, but as AboutLawsuits points out, the FDA may label a drug misbranded only if the studies are not conducted. It may not withdraw approval. It's unclear if the agency can levy fines or take any other punitive actions beyond the public scolding.
Some of the drugs on the letter list were supposed to have been tested on children as long as seven years ago. In each case, AboutLawsuits says, the companies failed to apply for an extension. Although the letters give the companies 45 days to respond, they are silent about any consequences or what happens next.
The FDA's renewed interest in the safety of pediatric drugs follows recent studies depicting how some medications used on adults have detrimental effects in children.
For example, a study published last month in JAMA Psychiatry found that children who use antipsychotic medications such as Risperdal and Zyprexa had three times the risk of developing type 2 diabetes during the first year of use. That study was the result of a government investigation into the increasing number of children who were prescribed antipsychotic medications intended for adults.
If your child is prescribed a medication, ask the doctor if it has been tested in that form and in that dose for children. If not, or if he or she doesn't know, consult Medline Plus, the government's drug information clearing house, and the manufacturer's website.

April 6, 2010 The Nikon 35mm f/1.4 AI-S is one of the few manual focus lenses without a CPU that is left in Nikon's lens line up. The 35 1.4 lenses have been in Nikon's lens lineup since 1970. One of the reasons the Nikon 35mm f/1.4 lenses are well known is that NASA used some of the earlier Nikon 35 f/1.4 lenses in space. Nikon and NASA have a long relation ship, Nikon had earlier made custom made cameras and lenses for NASA. These days they claim that NASA is using stock equipment from Nikon. Specifications
VerdictThis might very well be the ultimate semi wide angle photojournalist lens, if you are on the FX format or if you still shoot film. On the D3 the lens shows quite a bit of vignetting wide open and to f/2.8(f/4 if you want perfection) for photojournalists this is usually not a problem. For DX users this lens will be equal to a normal lens: If you are expecting a 50mm f/1.4 AI-S performance for the DX format you will be disappointed with the infinity performance, but if you stop down to f/2 and more it is stellar. Other then that this is the closest you will get to the good old Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lenses on the DX format. This lens is targeted at photojournalists and I rated it accordingly. Compared to the manual focus 35mm f/2 AI or the auto focus 35mm f/2D, the 35mm f/1.4 reviewed here outperforms the f/2 versions at all apertures. The f/1.4 is sharper and corners are more defined. You might see some purple fringing even at f/2, but this is a one click fix in Nikon Capture NX2 so I did not take down the performance of the lens for this.

The British seem to have had a knack for inventing sports and then sitting back while the rest of the world excels at them.
Perhaps that explains why we do lead the world in canoeing, which was not invented by a Brit.
"Britain has two world championship titles at present," explains Bryn Vaile MBE, press officer for the British Canoe Union [BCU]. "Brothers, Stephen and Andrew Train, are World Champions at Canadian Doubles (C2), and Ivan Lawler and Steve Harris are World Champions in the double Kayak (K2).
In addition, Anna Hemmings was runner-up at the World Championships (single Kayak), while the British slalom team were world champions in Brazil last year.
More than 150,000 people try canoeing on holiday alone, while 100,000 attempt the One Star proficiency test in schools, scouts groups or for Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
Canoeing is also very popular with disabled groups, while an estimated 400,000 enthusiasts regularly canoe in the UK, often under the instruction of one of more than 10,000 qualified instructors.
"Canoeing is popular at all levels," claims Vaile. "It's relatively low-cost to try, as many clubs have the necessary equipment. It's fun regardless of how good you are, and you can do it all over the country."
Slalom, sprint, marathon, rodeo, expedition or canoe polo; there seems to be a discipline to suit every temperament, whether you're after an adrenaline rush or a relaxing pastime.
As the British number three at the Olympic discipline of slalom, Helen Barnes falls squarely into the first category. Slalom involves racing small boats down ferocious white-water rivers. Staying upright is a skill in itself, but the discipline also requires competitors to navigate their crafts through suspended marker poles. But why risk life and limb?
"It's a really challenging sport," she explains. "Once you've mastered how to balance and control your boat, it's so exciting. You have to be quite brave at the higher level because white-water runs can be quite intimidating."
Moulded from carbon, her canoe has sharp ends and a very low volume, so it's strong, yet easy to flip on its side and manoeuvre.
"I've been canoeing for almost 10 years now, after going on a adventure holiday when I was 15," Barnes reveals. "We did a range of activities like rock- climbing and windsurfing. When we tried canoeing it was really difficult and everybody was falling in and it seemed like good fun."
At the top level, athletes train twice a day, six days a week working on basic fitness, swimming and technique.
These skills are essential as white-water rivers can easily pull a rider under the water. After a canoeing accident in France, Helen spent a week in a French hospital, but she insists that the sport is safe.
"Basically, I was on a river as powerful as they come. Canoeing really is a very safe sport."
The incident inspired her to improve her rolling technique (which involves flipping the boat into an upright position after being dragged upside-down underwater). She was so successful that she now holds the world record for the fastest time for 100 rolls at 3 minutes 47 seconds. She describes the incident as "fun".
"It's a real adrenaline rush. Some of the white-water drops are so terrifying, you see them and think `I don't fancy that', but after you've done it..." No more explanation is needed as she tails off.
Asked to describe canoeing in three words, she says: "Fast, dynamic and exciting."
She left out addictive.
It's an easy sport to learn if you follow the safety procedures. Many clubs offer starter packages.
Costs: You can get a half-day course in canoeing from around pounds 16-pounds 20 at all major clubs.
Contact: BCU on 0115-982 1100, which will send you a starter pack or advise you where your nearest local club is.
Visit: The International Canoe Exhibition on 21 & 22 Feb, at Birmingham NEC (0121-780 4133).
Equipment: A standard boat costs around pounds 200. A top-class boat can cost up to pounds 600. A family sized Canadian boat would cost around pounds 600-pounds 2,000. As a beginner, it's best to use the equipment at your local club.
Canoes are made of the latest plastics and are extremely durable, so all you need is a wetsuit, life jacket and a bit of training.

AUBURN, Ala. -- January 3, 2013 -- The carnage Lee Warren encountered in the combat hospital at Balad, Iraq, in 2005 was like nothing he had ever seen as a neurosurgeon. And no patient was worse-off than a soldier brought in by helicopter after being hit by a roadside bomb."I unwrapped his head in the emergency room and looked at him and thought he was dead," Warren says.
He was, Warren later wrote, "one of the most horrifically injured people I have ever operated on."
"His scalp and the front part of his face was all gone, and then I could see his frontal lobe on the left side sort of protruding out onto his face," he says. "His brain was exposed and hanging out."
After four hours in surgery, Warren and three other doctors managed to get him on a medevac flight out of Iraq still alive. Warren called the soldier's father but could offer little hope.
"I just didn't see how anybody with that injury could survive," he says. read more>>>

This one was very good! And very easy! Not overly sweet, just the right amount of coconut flavour and nice bits of chocolate chips. Only bad thing was after I had a bowl, I forgot to put in back in the freezer and the rest all melted :(
What you'll need:
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 1/2 container or nutriwhip (or a non dairy cream substitute)
- 1/2 a 70% dark chocolate lindt bar (chop into fine pieces)
Pour your coconut milk and nutriwhip into a bar and stir to combine.
Assemble your ice cream machine (making sure you've had your freezer bowl in the freezer for AT LEAST 24hrs).
Pour your coconut/nutriwhip mixture into the ice cream machine and turn on.
Let it churn for about 20 mins, then add chocolate pieces.
Let churn for another 15 mins, scoop into a serving dish and enjoy!!
Pin It
Homemade non dairy ice cream is my favorite, and that's why I am intent on sharing my recipes for dairy free ice cream. Enjoy, comment, and share!

General Question
What are some helpful tips and online resources for getting a new smartphone?
Asked by gambitking (4179)
February 23rd, 2012
I need a smart phone, preferrably an iPhone. I don't care if it's just an "old" 3GS. I would settle for an HTC if its a good deal.
But I know in this market there's ways to get a good deal and there's plenty more ways to get screwed.
I would prefer an "everything unlimited" type of plan, definitely don't want a data cap.
What's the best and cheapest way to do this, even if I have to sign a contract?

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
Mare Nostrum
When she was launched in 2008, Mare Nostrum set a new standard of luxury in the Eastern Mediterranean and forced many to reconsider their view of gulets
In Macakizi, owner Sahir Erozan wanders around his rustic stone and whitewalled empire sprinkling charm and hospitality like fairy dust, greeting superyacht owners, whose boats are moored across the bay, like the old friends that they are
Perched on a hillside near the ancient fishing village of Kas, with its cliffside sarcophogi and ancient Lycean amphitheatre, the two-storey Villa Su has a spendidly secluded location
Amanruya's villas, overlooking the azure Aegean Sea, are ensconced in a bucolic valley of olive groves, fig and carob trees and scented pines, through which you walk to reach the tranquil, pint-sized beach club shaded in the pine forest
Like a gulet bobbing in a tranquil harbour, Turkey is moored to dry land at both ends. Europe is at its prow and the Middle East at its stern; but most of the country's long gunwales – its 4,970 miles of coast – are lapped by the waters of three warm seas.
The shorelines of those seas – Black, Aegean, and broad, blue Med – are natural assets that have brought overseas visitors flocking. Already, Antalya – the gateway to the Turquoise Coast – is the third most visited city in the world after Paris and London. Now, the aim is to make these coasts as alluring as possible for upscale travellers. More and more marinas are being built, so wealthy visitors have a wide choice of places to park their fabulous yachts. Twelve marinas are currently under construction. Two of them, with more than 1,200 berths, are within easy sailing distance of the unarguably cool byways of Bodrum. And a 700-berth marina is being built at Sifne, close to Alaçatı: the pretty village, a skip and a jump from the coast, that is overtaking Bodrum as the hippest summer spot in Turkey for chic Istanbulites and foreign visitors alike.
So it is no surprise that the Turkish coast has attracted the attention of the top-end hotel chains. Aman brought a touch of south-east Asia to this, the north-western corner of the Asian continent, when it planted a resort just outside Bodrum two years ago. Amanruya's appealing little villas will soon have some competition on the Turkish Riviera in the form of a Mandarin Oriental, which comes later this year to Cennet Koyu – or "Paradise Bay". Four Seasons is set to launch its third Turkish property in 2016. The new hotel will stand on the horned Çesme peninsula, where the views are westward, towards the Greek island of Chios and the sunset.
More than 2.5 million Brits visited Turkey in 2013. Many were drawn by falling costs in the country – 16 per cent down on the previous year, according to a new Post Office study – but also accessibility: there are more flights to the Turkish coast than ever before. At the same time, Turkey is a luxury destination, now more than ever. Why, Exclusive Escapes has even launched a dedicated terminal at Stansted, from which clients are flown by private jet straight to Dalaman.
Once in Turkey, where should they stay? We have selected eight charming coastal properties: some wonderfully old-fashioned; some über-hip; some, run by locals, that epitomise the best of Turkish hospitality and design. Find your favourite below.
The boho bolt-hole
Alavya, Alaçatı
Once, most of the high-end hotels on Turkey's Aegean coast appeared to be trying to second-guess what would appeal to well-heeled foreigners. Alavya suffers from no such inferiority complex. The decor, by local interiors maestro Hakan Ezer, is a playful mix of Ottoman opulence and contemporary design, lent depth and authority by works from the contemporary art collection of owners Erol and Rama Tabanca.
Flirting with bling, but opting in the end for its own brand of Turkish barefoot chic, Alavya is the biggest thing to happen to upcoming destination Alaçatı, which was discovered by Istanbuli fashionistas and creative types at the turn of the millennium. In this conservation zone, the only way space could be found for a 25-suite resort was to spread the rooms, spa, bar, restaurant and reception area over a whole clutch of the village's handsome 19th-century stone houses. The areas in between are occupied by chill-out terraces, gardens and a stylish pool lined with mosaic tiles in Paul Smith-style stripes.
The typical Alavya guest is a rich Istanbuli, well-travelled and cultured but not above showing off his or her new Ferrari; an advertising agency boss, perhaps, or a TV personality (although it's right in the centre of town, the resort is well-shielded from prying eyes). Italian chef Carlo Bernardini, who "opened" the resort in the summer of 2013, has since moved on, but Alavya's high-end Mitu (casual) and Fogo (fine dining) restaurants stay true to his Italian-Turkish fusion approach.
With its winding cobbled lanes lined by bougainvillea-draped houses, Alaçatı is so pretty, and so well-stocked with hip boutiques, cafés and design shops, that many habitués never make it to the beach. The nearest one, two miles away, is strictly for the windsurfers; for the Ibiza-style beach clubs, you'll need to head towards Çesme (0090 232 716 6632; doubles from £170).
The classic hideaway
Hotel Villa Mahal, Kalkan
In the 26 years since it opened, Hotel Villa Mahal has become a Mediterranean classic: a contemporary boutique hotel with a chic beach club where you can doze idly in the shade of olive trees, swim to a raft, have a Balinese massage in a cave, or take a motor boat to glorious Kaputas Beach, a strip of white sand at the foot of a ravine.
The hotel's defining feature is its setting, clinging to a hillside with views to the (once Greek) harbour town of Kalkan. Dressed in crisp blues, greens and whites, it's also effortlessly stylish, sophisticated and fun, rather like its owner, Ipek Tolbas.
When the former designer harnessed donkeys to heft the first stones in the 1980s, Kalkan was still a sleepy fishing village: artists would gather at the Lipsos bar to play the guitar and watch as the odd celebrity, such as Nureyev, sailed into the bay. The town is now awash with British tourists, so it's best to visit by water taxi for a sunset meal at one of the harbour-side or rooftop restaurants (try the Korsan Fish Terrace).
Back across the bay, the Hotel Villa Mahal now has 13 rooms and suites, including a Pool Suite and Cliff House with private pools; or book one of two stunning minimalist villas with three bedrooms and two pools apiece. A moreish Turkish breakfast is served on a blindingly white rooftop terrace at the top of the hotel. From here, cobbled steps lead down past a triangular infinity pool, glinting like a giant gemstone, to the beach club, which becomes a bewitching restaurant at night, with tables right on the water's edge. Order Ottomanstyle leg of lamb and strike up a conversation with Tolbas or other members of her family. Then rise early to visit Patara, an 11-mile beach fronting the scattered ruins of a Lycian port and the oldest standing lighthouse in the world (0090 242 844 3268; doubles from £165 b&b).
The glamorous gulet
Mare Nostrum, Turquoise Coast
Luxury and value don't often come in the same package, but they do aboard this 144ft gulet, which offers yacht charters on the south-west coast of Turkey (where rates are a fraction of those in the Greek Islands, on the Italian Riviera or on the Côte d'Azur). When she was launched in 2008, Mare Nostrum set a new standard of luxury in the Eastern Mediterranean and forced many to reconsider their view of gulets.
Unlike the modern carbon-fibre yachts which ply this coast, with their sleek, streamlined hulls and practical interiors, this classic wooden boat was built for comfort, with the sort of accommodation normally found on ocean cruisers: six large staterooms, and enormous sunbathing and outdoor dining spaces, all equipped to extremely high standards and featuring imported Italian fixtures and exotic woods.
Mare Nostrum's cabins, too, were designed to be like mini hotel rooms. Five of the staterooms have king-size or queen-size beds, one has twins and all have private en-suite bathrooms, as well as elegant mahogany wall panels, cabinetry and bed frames, and light soft furnishings that add a touch of contemporary style.
Staffed with an English-speaking, internationally-trained crew, and a chef who can cook lamb a dozen ways, the yacht offers guests a chance to enjoy a traditional Turkish experience – but in privacy, and with the sorts of little luxuries that one might find in a five-star beach resort (WiFi, surround-sound, and toys ranging from wakeboards and paddle-skis to espresso makers). A group of up to 12 guests can do pretty much whatever they wish – from sailing along the coast and stopping to swim in private bays to taking guided tours into the bazaar of Marmaris and the amphitheatre at Knidos (020 8144 5834; from £41,000 per week).
The party palace
Maçakızı, Bodrum
The first hotel to wrench the Bodrum peninsula away from its origins as a dropout zone for bohemian writers and artists was the Maçakızı ("Queen of Hearts"). When it opened in the small village of Türkbükü in 1977, it ramped up the glamour on the peninsula by about 300 per cent. Today, in the summer, it's full of Istanbul socialites lolling on giant cushions at the pontoon beach club, puffing on hookahs, chattering and devouring upmarket meze.
Owner Sahir Erozan wanders around his rustic stone and whitewalled empire sprinkling charm and hospitality like fairy dust, greeting superyacht owners, whose boats are moored across the bay, like the old friends that they are. From May 16 until October, to make weekending even easier for them, he has launched a four-times-a-week seaplane service, operated by Seabird Airlines from Istanbul, landing just outside the Maçakızı.
Perhaps because the beaches on the peninsula are nothing special, the beach clubs in the area are hugely popular. This one, with platforms built over the water, is the hottest around, and constantly populated with the elite of Ankara and Istanbul who spend summer here. In the afternoons, after a late post-hangover lunch (traditionally announced with a bell), in they flock to listen to chill-out music and dive off the jetties, or relax in the new Nuxe Spa, with its plant-based treatments. At night, they dine at chef Aret Sahakyan's new smallplate restaurant (featuring such dishes as arroz negro with seared scallops, fava-bean rissotto and squid with charred aubergine), then get on the table to dance. Those wanting a quieter night might head to Mimoza restaurant in the old seaside village of Gümülük, where tables among the fairy lights are laden with fine seafood and meze (0090 252 311 2400; doubles from £315, half-board).
The family-run guesthouse
Tas Otel,
When Zeynep Özis set up Tas Otel, there were no hotels in Alaçatı, a crumbling village. "The locals thought I was mad," she recalls. "They kept saying: 'Who'd come here? Our village isn't even by the sea. There's only one restaurant. And she's installing bathrooms in every room – a crazy idea!'" That was 2001. Today, almost 300 guesthouses have sprung up in and around town, but none has captured the flair and warmth of the original.
Özis, who co-founded the Alaçatı Preservation Society, has restored a 120-year-old stone house with integrity. The seven bedrooms range in size but are similar in style: romantic but not twee, with antique armoires, floral bedspreads and whitewashed walls. Jazz wafts through the living room, which has a roaring fire in winter. In warmer weather, the walled garden where cats laze by the pool is the main attraction. The hotel is child-free, but families can stay at two adjacent houses that share a garden and pool.
What makes Tas Otel special isn't the trappings of luxury; it's the authentically Turkish setting (about half the guests are Turkish, too) and the genuinely thoughtful staff. The food is truly indulgent, though. Breakfast is a feast of local flavours that will keep you going until afternoon tea, when an array of complimentary cakes is served with Turkish çay. In Alaçatı, the food is equally good. Last summer Kemal Demirasal, Turkey's answer to Ferran Adrià, opened Alancha, where local produce is cooked in wood-fired ovens.
Like many of those sophisticated weekenders from Izmir and Istanbul who come to the Çesme peninsula, the chef spends his spare time windsurfing; some of Turkey's best beaches are a few miles away (0090 232 716 7772; doubles from £66, including breakfast and afternoon tea).
The knockout house
Villa Su, Kas Peninsula
Perched on a hillside near the ancient fishing village of Kas, with its cliffside sarcophogi and ancient Lycean amphitheatre, this two-storey sea-facing villa on Turkey's south-west coast has a spendidly secluded location. Just a 10-minute drive from the buzzy, harbour-facing town square, it is close enough to explore the pretty town and restaurants such as Bahçe, with its lantern-lit trees, but remote enough from the passing trade. It's the type of place at which Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie would stay, if they were to holiday around here.
Throughout the villa, the owners' taste is evident in a collection of beautifully curated art, antiques and artefacts in muted earthy tones that complement the pared-back palette. It's all cool and terribly calm. Upstairs, the all-white decor and pale marble floors extend to three sea-facing double bedrooms with stylish en-suite bathrooms. Downstairs, floor-to-ceiling French doors from the living area open on to a capacious terrace, perfect for long lunches and late-night parties, with a long infinity pool that seems to flow straight into the sea. A steep stone staircase leads to a private deck from where guests can plunge into the ocean, or lounge on two oversized sofas in a sun-drenched, sea-facing lounge nook that's perfect for siestas.
Although the villa is self-catering, and kitted out with state-of-the-art appliances, a private butler can be arranged for those who don't want to lift a finger, as can services such as a daily delivery of bread, milk, groceries and breakfast. Rental includes such treats as a staffed barbecue on the first night, a day's boat trip to an island for lunch, and daily replenishment of frozen smoothie shots and chilled hand-towels.
While Villa Su's decor and amenities are faultlessy deluxe, its main attraction is its dreamy location: on a steep hillside with wrap-around views of the Med – an everchanging rhapsody of blues, punctuated only by the silhouettes of 15 Turkish islets and the Greek island of Meis in the distance (020 7722 2288; from £3,900 a week).
The refined resort
Amanruya, Bodrum
The arrival of Amanruya on the Bodrum peninsula in 2012 signalled that the area could now do grown-up, understated elegance. This all-seasons retreat, which sits in glorious isolation in Mandalay Bay, near the sleepy village of Torba, resembles a little Ottoman village, with classic, Aman-esque curated ethnic pieces softening the acres of marble and minimalism. Its villas, overlooking the azure Aegean Sea, are ensconced in a bucolic valley of olive groves, fig and carob trees and scented pines, through which you walk to reach the tranquil, pint-sized beach club shaded in the pine forest. In spring, the area is golden with wildflowers; in winter, the landscape is frosted over and, inside Amanruya, fires glow above white, gently heated Turkish marble floors.
The Aman is the quiet antidote to the newly chic, raucous charms of the peninsula at large, and the architecture – courtesy of the late Turgut Cansever, who won the Aga Khan award for the resort – sits in the landscape as if it has always been there. Each of the 36 stone-and-terracotta, Ottoman-inspired villas (with their private pools and gardens) celebrates artisanal Turkey. Inside, the marble bathrooms are hammam-like and the fireplaces are proper ones; outside, the stone lining the shimmering 160ft-long pool is green Antalya marble and the pathways are traditional pebble.
As might be expected from an Aman hotel, the concierge can open up the local area with tailor-made excursions, including a "Blue Voyage" along the coast and an archaeological expedition to explore ruins. The food reflects the Aman brand's internationalism: Turkish, Western, Indonesian and Thai dishes are served across six pavilions, lounges and dining areas, making use of Turkey's sensational produce (0090 252 311 1212; doubles from £660).
The protected peninsula
D-Hotel Maris, Marmaris
A two-hour drive from Dalaman Airport, D-Hotel Maris takes some time to get to (unless you book a transfer in the resort's helicopter), but that isolation becomes a selling point when finally ensconced in the resort.
Set on a protected peninsula near the town of Marmaris, the property is surrounded by rugged hillsides, deserted islands lush with olive and almond trees, and little else. On quiet spring days, guests who set sail on D-Hotel's custom-made 100ft yacht Pasa can sail for hours without encountering another soul.
But there are diversions to be found for those who want them. The resort's water sports centre is well-equipped and a hub of activity; London restaurant Zuma has a buzzy al fresco outpost on site; a roster of famous DJs will play on selected dates over the summer, and D-Hotel's Espa spa is a vast space that serves as a welcoming refuge on the rare days that rain may strike (0090 252 441 2000; deluxe sea view rooms cost from £420 per night).
Turkey Essentials
How to get there
Exclusive Escapes (020 8605 3500) is Britain's prime operator for luxury holidays to Turkey. A seven-night stay at Hotel Villa Mahal costs from £1,250 per person, b&b, including return flights to Dalaman, transfers, a Turkish bath and a day's gulet cruise. The company offers the only premium-class flights direct to Dalaman, using a British Airways aircraft from Heathrow or Manchester, or a Titan Airways private jet from Stansted. Airlines that operate economy flights to the Turkish coast include Easyjet and Jet2.com. DialAFlight (0844 811 4444) and the Charter Flight Centre (0844 050 0100) can advise on tickets with tour-operator charters.
From April 2014, visas cannot be obtained on arrival in Turkey; they must be obtained online ahead of departure.

The Terrex AV81 armored personnel carrier was developed in 2000 by Irish Timoney for Singapore Technology Kinetics. At the moment the Terrex AV81 is offered for various customers worldwide, but is not in serial production. At least one of the vehicles was aimed at the Turkish armed forces, while another one was configured to suit possible Belgian requirement. Vehicle has a number of significant survivability features, including a V-shaped hull for better mine protection. The Terrex comes with an NBC protection system as standard. Appliqué armor kits can be added if necessary. The Terrex APC has a number of unique features including modular design and replaceable roof. These features allow a quick change of roles by mounting various armament fit. An APC variant is armed with a 12.7-mm machine gun and a 40-mm automatic grenade launcher, while there are proposed a number of other variants, ranging from an infantry fighting vehicle with a 30-mm cannon, to ATGW carrier or 105-mm fire support vehicle. The Terrex AV81 APC comes with a Caterpillar C9 turbocharged diesel, developing 400 hp at 2 200 rpm. Furthermore it is also proposed with an electric hybrid drive system. Another significant feature of the Terrex is a patented Timoney double wishbone independent suspension system. It has a hydro-pneumatic struts with real time damping control. Such features give it an exceptional mobility and speed. Vehicle is amphibious and fords water obstacles without preparation with a maximum speed of up to 10 km/h. It's dimensions allow to airlift it with any medium transport aircraft. |

I am listening to a lecture for my women's health class. This class seems to be touting how right the government is in the way they manage our healthcare, regardless of what the individual wants.
1. Everyone needs vaccines, no mention of reasons not to. Now, I am provaccine, I have given DD all but the flu shot. I may delay a couple due to potential interaction and my family history of reaction, but she gets them.
2. If the government tells you that something is good, it must be good. No mention of how the government has pushed harmful things on us in the past, knowingly or not.
Just a couple examples. This is the same class that basically nullified my parenting decisions, such as baby wearing, etc.

Anyway, I'm just kidding, because it's April Fool's Day! :) And I don't actually own a house to sell. So enjoy this gallery and the rest of your weekend! Oh yeah, this blog and the Linky Parties will continue ^___^
Happy spring! If getting fresh bouquets of flowers to fill your kitchen with are a bit pricey or causes allergy issues, you can still have a gorgeous paper flower bouquet that requires no maintenance for the rest of your life :) Make some for yourself by following the tutorial from Inspired by Family Magazine. Also, get inspired by decorative ideas from their April showers party.
Dress up your shoes with shoe clips and maybe you'll be able to hold back on buying more pairs :) Luckily, these are easy to make and very versatile. Check it out at By Wilma.
Add visual interest to your home with this beautiful 3D pallet string art! I love how geometric the strings look, they remind me of little suspension bridges :) Find this beautiful tutorial at Twigg Studios and check out her felt flower shopping bag too.
Instead of buying that chic new ottoman at the store, how about giving your old one a complete makeover? Well, From Gardners to Bergers proves that it can be done with seriously amazing results!
If you're planning an Easter party and need matching cards, gift tags, bookmarks, stationary, candy wrappers, treat toppers, labels, banners, and more, you'll definitely want to head over to Printabelle for all your free-downloading-printable needs!
A craft and snack in one! I'm sure whoever you surprise with a bouquet of these cupcake liner daffodils will be delighted. These would also be a hit at a spring party. Find it at Seven Year Cottage.
For the yummiest and coolest appetizers, make these fun strawberry shortcake kabobs(?) and you can bet they'll be gone the minute they're put on the table. Get this recipe at Lady Behind the Curtain and try her bacon and green bean potato salad too.
How cute are these egg shaped brownies? Imagine the surprise when your buddies crack open an egg to find this :) Perfect April Fool's joke! Don't worry, the shells have been thoroughly cleaned beforehand. Find this at Making Memories, plus unicorn poop cookies and gooey cookie and cream bars.
Layoff the greasy bagged chips and snack on something healthier, like these salt and vinegar roasted chickpeas. They're cheap, easy to make, and good for you! Get the recipe at Inspired by Felicity Blog.
Surprise your family with a delicious steak dianne dinner! I'm not really sure what a steak dianne is, but it looks yummy and I love steak :) Will Cook for Smiles even made a video for those who need extra help. Also try her borsch and strawberry honey parfait.

Blowback through carb
Having difficulty tuning my rebuilt 327. Engine is knocked up with race performance internals and is the first time I've ever tried tuning a motor this hot. Whenever I try to start the engine, mostly when it's already warm, I have to crank it over and over and play around with pumping the gas pedal. Sometimes I have to pump more than other times and sometimes I don't have to pump at all and it will fire up. But most the time when it tries to start, burnt gas fumes and un-burned gas come jumping back out the top of the carb. Lots of smoke and really embarrassing! Whenever i use a shot of starter fluid then crank it over, it fires right up. I've adjusted timing and even main jets on carb. which is a QFT 680. Could I possibly have the wrong aluminum head spark plugs or maybe not enough spark? I have a 12:1 compression, mallory distributor w petronix II ignitor and a 40,000 V coil.
When it "fires up" on starter fluid, does it run after that or does it shut down after a few seconds?
What is the ignition timing set at? What pistons and heads are you using? |
Sounds a lot like a blown powervalve.
Blowback through carb
Post all the information you can about your motor. Brand of crankshaft, rods, pistons, head gasket compressed thickness or part number, brand and type heads, , brand of spark wires, type of spark plugs AC R45, part number of camshaft and type, hydraulic or solid tappet or Roller cam. Who built the motor? Who setup heads. Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Spray starting fluid all around intake flange and carburetor base at gasket. If idle goes up you have a leaking gasket. Tools you need are a vacuum gauge and timing light with advance. (has a knob on back end) Check spark plug wires with multimeter to see if you have continuity. What kind of car or truck (year and make) is the motor in? Read this article on HEI distributors and timing. http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/w...EI_distributor Use the vacuum gauge to set idle mixture screws. Make sure your fuel pump pressure to carburetor is about 5-5.5 psi. How or what adjustments did you make to the jets on the QFT 680? Has the engine back fired thru the carburetor if so you may need to replace power valve. Get a vacuum reading at idle. If the reading is say 10 divide by 2 = 5. Use a 4.5 power valve. Here is the instructions for your carburetor. http://www.quickfueltechnology.com/I...ons_Rev._1.pdf

When I roast game birds I always keep the carcasses for a broth or a game gravy. You can save them up in the freezer until you have a good quantity to make a batch – or 4 carcasses will yield enough good broth for 4-8 servings. I've used ceps here as they have been stunning so far this year, but you could use any wild mushroom, really.
The carcasses from a few partridges, plus a whole one
2 sticks of celery, washed and roughly chopped
1 onion, peeled and roughly chopped
A few sprigs of thyme
10 black peppercorns
2 litres of chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
100-150g ceps or other wild mushrooms
A few leaves of green cabbage, cut into 1-2cm pieces or a handful of pea shoots
Put the partridge carcasses and whole bird in a large saucepan with the roughly chopped celery, onion, thyme, peppercorns and chicken stock, season lightly, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Remove the whole partridge and put to one side on a plate and continue simmering the broth for another 45 minutes.
Strain the broth through a fine-meshed sieve into a clean saucepan, check the strength and continue simmering if it needs to be stronger. Add the ceps and greens and simmer for a couple of minutes or so, until tender.
To serve, cut each of the partridge breasts into about 6 slices, remove any leg meat and divide up into warmed soup bowls. Finally, pour the hot soup into the bowls and serve immediately.

Of course cable companies will raise rates next year. Raising rates is what cable companies DO.
Bloomberg cites Craig Moffett, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein & Co, who predicts that a major cable company will move to usage-based pricing next year in response to the increased Netflix streaming usage by customers "As more video shifts to the Web, the cable operators will inevitably al...
Isn't Dish/Blockbuster free for a year with a certain level of Dish service?
HomeMedia Magazine reports that Dish / Blockbuster has added 500,000 new subscribers in the past 30 days. I guess we know where some of the missing Netflix subscribers have gone...
News: Google Reader.
Weather... Well, I still have a TV with an antenna, though I almost never watch it. I wrote a script to fetch Weather alerts from NOAA and post them to GoogleClalendar, and have WeatherBug and MyWeather.com apps on my ipod touch that signal alerts, but that's pretty much it.
I probably should acquire a weather radio.
Long-time reader RJEJR is worried about Hurricane Irene and is looking for good sources of information: About 1 week ago today I dropped to basic cable, and of course now a major hurricane is bearing down on my south shore Long Island home. I'm already going thru Jim Cantore withdrawal. I was w...
Birdemic: Shock and Terror.
"When sexy model Nathalie (Whitney Moore) and software guru Rod (Alan Bagh) head to a motel for an afternoon tryst, they are attacked by a flock of savage exploding eagles and other birds of prey in the first wave of an all-out avian war against humanity. As the lovers scramble to find food, water and safety, they team up with gun-toting campers to rescue a pair of orphaned kids. James Nguyen directs this low-budget indie thriller."
Looks like it's available for streaming now, so you have nothing to lose except time, and a small piece of your soul.
Also, by the same director is "Julie and Jack".
"In this love story with Hitchcockian overtones, a computer chip salesman meets the perfect girl (a brilliant software developer) -- and then she disappears. After Jack Livingston (Justin Kunkle) finds Julie Romanov (Jenn Gotzon) through an Internet dating service, he's convinced life is perfect. But when she vanishes, he's left distraught and confused. Turning to Julie's mother (Hitchcock vet Tippi Hedren), he learns a startling revelation."
While Birdemic tends to be terrible enough to be entertaining, Julie and Jack is just terrible.
Super Booyah has complied a list of the 25 worst movies on Netflix Watch Instantly, and the list includes Titanic 2, Taintlight, Snakes on a Train, Transmorphers, and of course Gigli. The titles alone are so bad that at first I thought the list was a joke. If you're into watching horrible movies...
I've got a CR-48. I use it regularly, but given how it chokes on Hulu, I don't expect it to be able to handle Netflix.
The retail products presumably will perform better.
Engadget reports that an alert user noticed a Netflix plug-in for Google Chrome, possibly signaling an upcoming release of the promised Netflix support (and one could wonder if Linux support is also in the works). Does anyone have a Chrome notebook?
Even though I primarily watch streaming video, I generally think of my netflix plan as a two-DVD plan with free streaming for $14 . It's irrational, I know. With the price of two DVDs + streaming going to $19.98, it doesn't really feel worth it.
I'll probably drop to one DVD on the September Bill Date, and feel slightly fleeced at $16. I'll also probably churn through as many DVDs as I can before the hammer comes down.
On the Netflix blog Jessie Becker announced several important changes for subscribers and new customers: Official announcement of the DVD-only plans: $7.99 for one-out and $11.99 for 2-out, unlimited (dvd.netflix.com). The DVD & streaming unlimited plans are now separated into two $7.99 plans, ...
You can send and receive email at dialup speeds, or over cellular or satellite internet.
Dialup is way too slow to stream Netflix, and cellular and satellite tend to be slower than wireline, as well as having data caps that make streaming video extremely undesirable, and there are still many places in the US where the only option is one of those three.
Ryan Lawler at NewTeeVee reports that Netflix is offering a $7.99 per month DVD-only plan that does not include streaming. You can see the new plan at dvd.netflix.com, and it's an interesting option for customers not interested in streaming. This plan is different than the $4.99 DVD-only plan th...

The New York Department of Health recently published a proposed regulation that lays out the rules governing the issuance of certificates of public advantage for health care collaborations within the state.
On Sept. 18, 2013, the New York State Department of Health published proposed certificate of public advantage (COPA) regulations. The regulations are intended to establish a mechanism for active state supervision of collaborative arrangements between health care competitors, with the purpose of securing state action immunity under federal antitrust laws. Health care providers in New York who are contemplating collaborative activities will want to monitor the progress of these proposed regulations closely.
In U.S. antitrust law, the state action immunity doctrine provides immunity for certain transactions that may otherwise have a potential anticompetitive effect. In order for transactions involving private actors to qualify for state action immunity, however, two conditions must be satisfied. First, there must be a clearly articulated state policy to displace competition with regulation. In addition, the state must also actively supervise the private conduct in question.
In 2011, Section 2999-aa of New York's Public Health Law was enacted. Section 2999-aa provides that it is the policy of the state to encourage appropriate collaborative arrangements among health care providers "who might otherwise be competitors." The section further provides that to the extent such arrangements may be anticompetitive within the meaning of state and federal antitrust laws, "the intent of the state is to supplant competition with such arrangements under the active supervision and related administrative actions of the commissioner as necessary to accomplish [the state's policy goals] and to provide state action immunity under the state and federal antitrust laws … ."
The proposed regulations would permit health care providers to apply for a COPA to immunize a broad range of potential collaborative activities, ranging from the sharing or allocation of patients, personnel or other resources to the implementation of clinical integration programs or mergers and joint ventures.
Upon receipt of a COPA application, the New York Department of Health, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Public Health and Health Planning Council, must weigh the potential benefits of the proposed collaboration against any potential disadvantages caused by the displacement of competition. The proposed regulations also provide for a public comment period. If the Department of Health determines that the potential benefits of the arrangement outweigh its potential disadvantages, then it may issue a COPA, valid for at least two years, which may include any conditions the Department of Health deems necessary to ensure the state's policy goals are met.
Under the proposed regulations, recipients of a COPA would be subject to annual reporting obligations for at least four years after issuance of the COPA. If the Department of Health determines, based upon the annual reports or otherwise, that the benefits of the collaboration no longer outweigh the disadvantage, it may, subject to the recipient's right to a hearing, revoke the COPA.
The proposed regulations are now subject to a 45-day period of public comment.

Job done. After over 88 days at sea, Mike Golding completed his third Vendée Globe solo round the world race and his sixth circumnavigation of the planet, crossing the line in sixth place at Les Sables d'Olonne.
It has been a long, hard slog for the man from Warsash on the banks of the River Hamble in Hampshire and he has indicated strongly that this was his last solo round the world venture.
He had been beaten home by Frenchman Jean le Cam, with whom he has been in a tussle for weeks, hampered since entering the Southern Ocean south of South Africa by losing an important sail, and leaking water through the keel since half way back up the Atlantic.
The Volvo round the world race, which next starts from Alicante, Spain next year, has chosen Fort Adams, close to Newport, Rhode Island, as its United States stopover.
It has already announced that the first stop will be in Recife, Brazil and will call at Auckland, Itajai, Brazil and finish in Gothenberg. Before the last race it had been announced that Abu Dhabi wanted to host two stopovers, it may be that a stop at Sanya,China, may be replaced by Hong Kong and, after leaving Newport, Lorient had also announced before the last race that it had a deal for two races.

The Swedish fashion giant H&M is to bring three of its brands to the UK – in another boost to the UK's struggling retail market.
The young fashion brands Monki, Weekday and Cheap Monday are in talks with Carnaby Street owner Shaftesbury to take over a former Boots shop. But it is going head to head with a stateside fashion retailer for the coveted spot.
H&M, which also owns the more upmarket Cos, bought 60 per cent of the shares in the parent company of Monki, Weekday and Cheap Monday in 2008. H&M has around 2,300 stores globally. It has also agreed a deal to sell the Monki brand in Selfridges from next month.

"Several community groups Tuesday condemned billboards throughout Milwaukee that warn "Voter Fraud is a Felony," saying they are an attempt by right-wing sources to intimidate and suppress minority voting.
At a press conference in front of one of the billboards at S. 22nd St. and W. Morgan Ave., the groups called on Clear Channel Outdoor, the owner of the billboards, to take down the ads and disclose who paid for them.
The bottom of the billboards, which show people behind jail bars, the words "We Voted Illegally" and the penalty for voting illegally, disclose only that the billboards were paid for "by a private family foundation.""

No new ground is dug up in Good Boy, but the story is well-paced, sweet and lively, filling a void for very young filmgoers.
Read Full Review
Mostly, Good Boy! exists for the middle section where youngsters and dogs speak the same language. These escapades, all taking place under the adults' radar, generate many sound laughs.
Little is asked of talking-animal movies, save charm, heart, and at least one scene where said animal wears a lampshade. Good Boy! has all those things, plus a winning story line.
A tearily adorable canine valentine.

OK for kids 6+
Not particularly imaginative, but not the worst.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that there are some mild naughty words in this movie ("screwed up"), a couple of mild double entendres, and some potty jokes. The dogs are exposed to laughing gas and get a little tipsy. Characters face a little mild peril and some tense situations, but everything turns out fine. One of the movie's strengths is its understated, even casual, portrayal of a diverse community, including a nice friendship between an African-American girl and a white boy.
Messages: Some bathroom humor.
Violence and scariness: Mild peril, no one hurt. Mild peril.
Sexy stuff: Not an issue
Language: Some schoolyard naughty words.
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Dogs get tipsy on laughing gas.

Muslims do a lot of appropriatingReader comment on item: The Evil Isn't Islam Submitted by Stephen Phillips (United States), Sep 30, 2006 at 11:51 I agree with you on the point that muslims/arabs take credit for a lot of things they had nothing to do with inventing. The biggest hijacking I can think of is the way Mohammed plagiarized the bible, tossed it out and claimed that the koran is the truth. It's such a blantant corruption. God spoke to men in different ways and inspired them to write down "HIS" words that we now call the bible.What a coincidence that Mohammed got his inspiration for the koran in the same way. But what I find most appalling is that Mohammed stole his ideas from the bible and then tossed the bible out like it was a book of superstitions and claimed that the koran is the truth. This set up is too ridiculous for description. Now we have millions of violent fanatics following this madness to the death.

When people recall their early days at school, they may remember mornings and afternoons filled with creative play, arts-and-crafts, and outdoor excursions on the playground. However, even if they did not notice it at the time, the activities in which they engaged were content specific to some degree. Creative play encourages linguistic skills; outdoor activities build kinesthetics; and cutting and pasting develop motor skills. A stronger understanding of the theory behind the activities in which k-12 learners engage is the first step in promulgating content-specific advertisements.
The field of k-12 school marketing involves knowing what subject areas the students are currently focused on. Therefore, marketing teams also must determine the specific grade to which their products are geared. For example, sophomores in high school may study chemistry whereas fifth graders at the elementary school may focus on the most fundamental elements of earth science. Incorporating the content of the students' current studies is imperative to a successful marketing campaign because it lets school officials know that the material matches up with the school's academic goals.
Conducting k-12 market research also means that advertisers must remain aware of any state standards or tests that the particular grade of inquiry must adhere too. Incorporating the fact that the educational materials help students to prepare to meet those standards or pass those exams is crucial, especially in a society that is heavily concerned with educational standards. Therefore, marketing teams can craft their advertisements in a way that matches up with the needs of their students' studies of inquiry and the larger standards that they are expected to meet by the end of the year.
These marketing campaigns also need to target the ways in which instructors teach their lessons. For example, instructional material that focuses on diverse learning methods is popular now. Most teachers themselves have been taught to diversify their lessons so that they reach the learning styles of all students in their classrooms. Incorporating buzzwords related to popular pedagogies is imperative to success in marketing. Taking into account the material taught in the classrooms, as well as the ways in which it is taught, will prove useful.
