Thanks to its boxy body style, the 2010 Ford Explorer affords an impressively large interior overall, while good build quality places the Explorer among the quietest vehicles in its class. The Explorer's ride is also more buttoned-down than that of most truck-based SUVs, which often tend to be choppy on anything but smooth roads.
Regarding the 2010 Ford Explorer, Edmunds states that "the XLT seats five" and the "top-line Explorer Limited" adds "a manually folding third-row seat (for seven-passenger capacity)," while ConsumerGuide says that the front of the Ford Explorer offers "plenty of room on comfortable seats." In the back, Kelley Blue Book finds that "the second row is available in three seating configurations and the third row offers a power folding feature." Passenger space for those in the rear seats is admirable, and Edmunds contends that "it's feasible to carry two adults in the third-row seats," while extra space is available on the Limited models, thanks to "the 'quad seating' option" that "drops passenger capacity to six and places reclining captain's chairs in the second row with a storage console between them." With the standard bench seat in place in the second row of the Ford Explorer, ConsumerGuide notes that "three adults can squeeze across in the roomy 2nd row," and "legroom is tight only with the front seats fully aft."
While the Ford Explorer is big on passenger room, this is not at the expense of cargo space, which is generous in the rear. ConsumerGuide rates the 2010 Ford Explorer above the class average in terms of cargo room, reporting "second- and 3rd-row seats fold nearly flat for ample cargo room, but leave gaps large enough for smaller items to fall through." On the plus side, they add "the optional power folding 3rd row is a real convenience." In terms of the technical cargo space, Edmunds says "seven-passenger Ford Explorers max out at 83.7 cubic feet of cargo space, while five-passenger versions offer 85.8 cubic feet." Cars.com, however, finds that "an overhead storage console" bumps up available storage space, but otherwise, ConsumerGuide notes "interior storage is meager."
Interior material-quality on the Ford Explorer 2010 receives mixed reviews. While Edmunds contends that "the Explorer's materials quality remains mediocre," other reviewers, such as those at ConsumerGuide, assert that the "interior materials feel solid." If materials-quality divides reviewers, Ford's build quality offers them a point of consensus, with most reviews impressed by this aspect of the Explorer. ConsumerGuide says "assembly quality has been good on all models" that they've tested. ConsumerGuide, though, also points out that "the transmission shift lever prevents easy access to climate controls" and the "turn signal stalk is mounted at an awkward angle"—both issues that plague the Explorer's Sport Trac sibling as well.
Thanks to the above-average build quality of the 2010 Ford Explorer, interior cabin noise is impressively good. ConsumerGuide adds that the Ford Explorer is "among the quieter SUVs of any type," noting "wind and road noise are well-muffled," as is "noise over bumps." Car and Driver counts the Ford Explorer "among the quietest body-on-frame SUVs extant," and Kelley Blue Book says that it makes "for easy conversation between occupants in separate rows."

Record-Courier staff report
Practically since the day he was drafted, Andrew Wiggins has heard his name swirling in the rumor mill.
Most recently in potential trade talks with the Minnesota Timberwolves in a deal for All-Star forward Kevin Love.
One thing that appears much more certain than all of those rumors is the fact that the Cleveland Cavaliers are preparing to sign their rookie small forward to a contract.
According to a report by ESPN on Sunday, the Cavs are expected to announce a multi-year deal for the No. 1 overall pick in the next couple of days. The deal will reportedly pay Wiggins $5.5 million, which is the maximum permitted for a rookie under the league's new collective bargaining agreement.
After signing the contract, even if the Cavs do want to potentially trade him, they would not be able to for the next 30 days under NBA rules.
Cleveland has also yet to officially announce the signing of sharpshooters Mike Miller and James Jones. Without the contracts for Miller, Jones and Wiggins, the Cavs are currently $1.5 million under the league's salary cap. The three signings will push the team over the cap of $63.065 million.
Technically, Miller's contract cannot even become official until Cleveland goes over the cap since the franchise is using its mid-level exception of $2.7 million to sign him. It only applies to franchises that have salary cap room entering an off-season, but subsequently use all of it.
Jones will receive a veteran's minimum contract, the value of which is based on how many years a player has spent in the NBA.
The same scenario would apply to shooting guard Ray Allen, who is weighing a one-year offer from Cleveland against retirement. It is widely expected that the 39-year-old free agent will decide within the week.

Gore Verbinski On For The Lone Ranger?
He's considering another Depp team-up
Sing with us kids: Gore-and-Joh-nny-sit-ing-on-a-set. F-i-l-m-m-a-k…. Oh, forget it. But the men who helped bring the world the first three instalments of the Pirates of the Caribbean series are indeed plotting to reunite, with Verbinski seriously looking into taking on Disney's version of The Lone Ranger.
Depp, of course, has been loosely attached to play Tonto for a while now, even going so far as to make a special announcement at a Disney event to confirm he'll play the Western hero's faithful sidekick (and, despite some Native American lurking in his ancestry, inspire some negative commentating online about the way the character will be portrayed in the movie).
And while Verbinski chose not to work with the actor on the latest Pirates pic (that job is currently in the hands of Rob Marshall), the two have stayed both close friends and colleagues, collaborating on weird 'toon tale Rango, which will arrive next year.
The Lone Ranger is still a ways off, though, even if it does entice Verbinski to wave the megaphone. Depp has Dark Shadows pencilled in with Tim Burton and he's weighing plenty of other offers. Plus word on the Ranger has gone decidedly quiet since Mike Newell was rumoured to be directing and a new writer was announced. Perhaps Verbinski's interest will put the spurs into Disney's side and get things moving again.

It's official: Giants sign Jeremy Affeldt to three-year contract
The world-champion Giants have re-upped with a key member of their bullpen.
|The Giants' go-to lefty out of the pen is coming back. (US Presswire)
The world-champion Giants have re-upped with a key member of their bullpen: lefty Jeremy Affeldt has signed a three-year contract through the 2015 season, the team announced on Wednesday. The new pact will pay Affeldt a total of $18 million.
This past season, Affeldt, age 33, put up an ERA of 2.70 across 63 1/3 innings. In four seasons as a Giant, he boasts a 2.73 ERA, and his career mark checks in at 4.01 (there are, however, 42 starts baked into that figure).
As for Affeldt himself, the prospect of returning to the Giants makes him all happy and stuff ...
So pumped to be back w my San Francisco family. 3 more yrs in the bay!— Jeremy Affeldt (@JeremyAffeldt) November 14, 2012

|Israelite of the tribe of Judah
|During Israel's captivity in Egypt
|Exact date unknown
|Assistant to Joshua in the Promised Land takeover campaign
| Judah (distant ancestor)

Caleb, the son of Jephunneh of the tribe of Judah, was one of the twelve people from the children of Israel spoken of in the Bible who was sent by Moses to spy out the Promised Land in Numbers chapter 13. (Joshua, the son of Nun of the tribe of Ephraim, was another.) After 40 days of observation, Caleb along with the eleven other spies brought back a report that the Promised Land was indeed "a land flowing with milk and honey". However, ten of the spies also brought back a bad report that the land "devours its inhabitants", that its cities were walled, and that the "sons of Anak", a remnant of "the giants", were also present. This discouraged the children of Israel to the point where they thought of returning to Egypt for fear of their children falling prey to the land's inhabitants. Caleb and Joshua tried to encourage the people not to disobey Jehovah God, because He will be there with them to help them conquer the land, but all the people thought of stoning the both of them. As punishment for the people's unbelief and for the bad report, God caused the ten spies to die while sparing Caleb and Joshua because they followed Him wholeheartedly. He also caused the children of Israel to wander through the wilderness for 40 years until all the generation of people from 20 years old and above had died off, with the exception of Caleb and Joshua.
When Moses died, Joshua took over as the appointed leader of Israel and brought the people into the Promised Land to dispossess the nations still living there in order to inherit it. Caleb remained active in this campaign until the land rested from war, and then was given Hebron as his inheritance, where he drove out the sons of Anak living there. He gave his daughter Achsah to Othniel the son of Kenaz for overtaking the town of Kirjathsepher.
Joshua and Caleb had visited the people at the Children Of The Tribulation school to tell of their exploits in "Kingdom Come".

It seems that Google is discontinuing their real estate system on Google maps. We have mixed feelings about Google dropping the service, but believe one of the main reasons is as Google stated "the proliferation of excellent property-search tools on real estate websites." Consumers are more interested in searching for a home using a local brokerage website and groups like Onboard Informatics are making strides forward in advanced searching capabilities focused around a lifestyle rather than number of bedrooms and a price.
At Google one of our key philosophies is to take risks and to experiment. To that end, in July 2009 we announced the ability to find property for sale or rent directly on Google Maps. This is one of the "search options" next to the search box on Google Maps, and is currently available in the US, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Japan.
In part due to low usage, the proliferation of excellent property-search tools on real estate websites, and the infrastructure challenge posed by the impending retirement of the Google Base API (used by listing providers to submit listings), we've decided to discontinue the real estate feature within Google Maps on February 10, 2011.

Bob Segarini (guitar/vocals), Mike Olsen (actually Lee Michaels, 24 November 1945, Los Angeles, California, USA; keyboards), Bill Whittington (bass) and Newman Davis (drums) formed Family Tree in 1965. This San Franciscan rock group was bedevilled by internal unrest, and by the time their debut album was released, Segarini was the only remaining original member. Miss Butters unveiled the anglophile persuasion that marked his subsequent music, but was deemed out of step with the prevailing musical trend. Had it been issued a year earlier (1967) it might have fared better in a world of gentle psychedelic whimsy in swinging London. Mike Dure (guitar), Jim De Cocq (keyboards), Bill Kootch Troachim (bass) and Vann Slatter (drums) completed the bands final line-up, which broke apart in 1970. Segarini and De Cocq formed Roxy, while founder member Olsen found fame as a solo virtuoso, reverting to his real name Lee Michaels.

TILLY Gray declared herself happy with her work at the British Gas ASA National Age Group Championships after picking up a silver medal in testing circumstances.
The 21-year-old attended her grandfather's funeral in the run-up to the event at Ponds Forge in Sheffield, and also raced despite being in the middle of a heavy training block.
Formerly of Swindon Dolphin, Gray was fourth in the 100m butterfly in 1:01.54 but went on to grab second in the 200m butterfly after being edged out by Alys Thomas.
While the 100m result did not match her gold at ASA Nationals last month, the silver was an improvement on the bronze she won in the previous major competition, and the ex-Commonweal pupil said her latest results had to be viewed in context.
"It was a tricky week and I was emotionally drained beforehand," she said.
"I was a bit gutted not to get a medal (in the 100m fly), but my coach told me I couldn't expect too much as I've had so much emotional upset.
"The 200m was a lot better, it was quite a solid swim and roughly the same as I did a month ago (at ASA Nationals).
"I wasn't rested at all because I'm in harder training than ever for US Nationals in a couple of weeks.
"Most of the people I was up against were well-rested and considering the amount of training I'm doing, I'm quite pleased with it.
"It was good experience but I'm glad they weren't my last swims of the season."
Gray will race under the Welsh banner at US Nationals, which will be held in Indianapolis from August 7.
Swindon Dolphin's young starlet Craig Harris also raced in Sheffield in the mixed disability category.
The 13-year-old was fifth in the final of the 200m freestyle in 2:14.27 and was ninth in the 100m backstroke, with Trowbridge SC's Paralympics-bound youngster Aaron Moores joint first with Jack Thomas in that race.
Harris was 12th-fastest in the heats of the 100m breaststroke, while Moores went on to take fourth in the final.
Moores' clubmate Chloe Davies, 13, stormed to gold in the MD 200m freestyle, clocking 2:19.73 as she won by five seconds from Chloe Selman.
Davies, also London 2012-bound, added a bronze in the MD 100m backstroke with a time of 1:12.09.
Corsham's Paralympic medal hopeful Stephanie Millward touched the wall in 4:48.94 as she was fifth in the final of the MD 400m freestyle.

Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees has caught the most media attention for his reported involvement in the Biogenesis case. Flying under the radar is another Yankee player who will likely be punished too.
Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports has reported that Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli will be suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball for his involvement in the Miami Biogenesis case, which has been ongoing since the winter.
Cervelli has been on the disabled list since April 27th with a fractured right hand that has limited him to just 17 games in 2013 after winning he starting job in 2013, but the Yankees have had to use Chris Stewart and Austin Romine in the meantime at catcher, both of which are best suited to be backup catchers. Cervelli was slated to come back in August, but had a setback with his rehab, which would have kept him out until August. Now, his return likely won't be until 2014.
With the trade deadline at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, it will be interesting to see if the Yankees will now look to pursue a temporary option at catcher now that Cervelli will likely be suspended for the remainder of the season, as the 50-game ban will make him sit out the rest of this season.
Cervelli was batting .269 with three home runs and eight RBI for the Yankees before landing on the DL.Tags: Alex Rodriguez, Baseball, Francisco Cervelli, MLB, New York, New York Yankees

We all seem to want to discover our roots, to explore our family history. I'm lucky because I had some relatives who wrote things down, so I know that some of my ancestors on my father's side were lead miners in England who lived in rather crowded conditions. Seven of them lived in a two-room cottage, one room being a straw-covered loft where they all slept. My grandfather's father left England for America in 1871.

My mother's parents came from Poland. Her mother was a peasant and her father was from a well-to-do family. Her father's parents disapproved of the relationship, so the two left home and came to America. They started a family here, but after some years returned to Poland. Fortunately, they soon returned to America. My mother's mother's family farm was located near the area where Hitler's troops invaded Poland in 1939.

Family stories can tell us about our families and the kinds of lives they led, but unless we write them down, they can be lost forever. Here are some ways you and your children can collect and preserve family stories. Not only will your child learn about your family's history and help preserve it, but when you encourage your child to write the stories down, you are also nurturing your child's writing skills.

Gather Information

Before the kids can write any stories, they need some information! They can gather information from you and other relatives: aunts, uncles, grandparents. This can be done a number of ways.

Collect Pictures
Most families have pictures, sometimes buried away in boxes or old albums. To preserve the photos and be able to share them and even use them in projects, you might want to digitize the photos. Old photos are so invaluable and not just for what we are able to see. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and that may be true to a degree. We can see what people look like, the expressions on their faces, the clothes they wore, the way they held themselves, all of which would take many, many words to describe. What pictures can't tell us, though, is what the people were thinking, what they were like, the kind of relationship they had with the others in the picture, and what was going on when the picture was taken. What we want are the stories behind the picture.

Interview Relatives

Pictures can make a great starting point in gathering family stories.Children can sit down with you and other relatives and ask about the people in the pictures. Sometimes, the pictures can also trigger other memories of the people in them or the events around the time the picture was taken. But there is much more to learn from relatives through interviews. Kids first want to prepare for interviews by writing down some questions to ask. Here are some examples:

What did you do for fun?

What kinds of games did you play?

What kind of toys did you play with?

What was school like?

What did you study?

What kinds of foods did you eat?

What was your favorite food? Meal?

What kind of homework did you have?

What kind of chores did you do

Did you have an allowance?

Be sure to tell your child to take good notes of the interviews! But then maybe he would rather use a tape recorder to tape the interviews. Those interviews can then be saved to pass down, too. In fact, your child might want to use a video recorder for some of the interviews.

Read History

The stories of our family members can tell us only so much. We also need to understand the times in which our family members lived. What was happening in the country? In the world? What were people concerned about? What was life like for everyone? One way to learn about daily life is to read some history on the times and places in which our ancestors lived. Your child might be interested in reading some historical fiction that will provide some excellent background to help her get a full understanding of the lives her ancestors lived.

Fill in a Family Tree

Visual aids always make information easy do understand and a visual family tree is no different. Kids can fill in the blanks on a family tree to see how everyone is related. It makes it easier for them (and you) to grasp some of those trickier relationships like second cousins once removed or first cousins twice removed. Family Tree Magazine has a great downloadable family tree graphic that kids can use to make the job easier. In case you're wondering, second cousins would be the grandchildren of siblings. If they're once removed, there is a generation between the two. That means one would be the grandchild of one sibling and the other would be the great grandchild of another sibling. Charts can help illustrate these relationships.

Write Stories

Once your child has gathered some information through pictures and interviews, it's time to write some stories. If your child is a budding short story writer or novelist, he can tell the stories family members have related, but also fill them out with historical details he gathered from reading histories of the times. But if your child prefers a more straightforward descriptions of family members and their experiences, then he just needs to write out the details. Either way, he is preserving so much information for future generations. If your child needs some ideas on what all to write about, there are a few creative questions about family that he can answer. However, your child wants to approach the story telling, she might want some ideas on how to make the stories come alive. The book Show; Don't Tell! The Secrets of Writing explains how to do that through the choice of words and more in a fun and interesting way.

Create a Family Story Book

Once your child has written all those stories, what should be done with them? Why not create a family story book? The front cover can have a copy of the graphic family tree that your child filled out or a print out of one of the old family pictures. The book can be organized by time or by family branches. Pictures of people can be on the pages that tell the stories about those people and events. Pictures of houses, neighborhoods, towns, workplaces and other places of interest can be included, too, depending on what stories your child has written.

If you have digitized the photos, your child can create the story book on the computer by using a word-processing program like Word or Open Office. If your child is older and more proficient with computer programs, a program like Publisher can be used. Another way to create great family story books is through Bookemon. Bookemon is a free service that allows people to create quality books for free. You can even upload your own pictures to use. The catch is that if you want the book, you have to buy it, but you do have some control over the design and price range. Some are as little as $13.00. You can buy copies of your book to give as gifts to family members or just let family members know the book is there and let everyone buy their own copy.

This is blasphemous to my mashed potato loving mother, aunt, and cousin, but I don't love mashed potatoes. It isn't even my third favorite way to eat potatoes--I prefer roasted, baked, and fried. And if you count potato chips, it isn't even my fourth favorite way to eat potatoes. But anyway, I may have to rethink just so I can get this cool masher.

text: Ligation of DNA is a critical step in many modern molecular biology workflows. The sealing of nicks between adjacent residues of a single-strand break on a double-strand substrate and the joining of double-strand breaks are enzymatically catalyzed by DNA ligases. The formation of a phosphodiester bond between the 3' hydroxyl and 5' phosphate of adjacent DNA residues proceeds in three steps: Initially, the ligase is self-adenylated by reaction with free ATP. Next, the adenyl group is transferred to the 5'-phosphorylated end of the "donor" strand. Lastly, the formation of the phosphodiester bond proceeds after reaction of the adenylated donor end with the adjacent 3' hydroxyl acceptor and the release of AMP. In living organisms, DNA ligases are essential enzymes with critical roles in DNA replication and repair. In the lab, DNA ligation is performed for both cloning and non-cloning applications.

whats good to hunt in Texas
Hey this question goes out to the Texans on here, I am moving to Texas in the near future and I want to know what game is good to hunt out there, and maybe some advice for my future hunts. I grew up in Western PA hunting every thing from bear to squirrels, didnt get to hunt animals while on Active duty and been shooting rabbits and coyote in NV for the last 2 years.
Native game from squirrels to Mule deer,all kinds of varmint hunting,Feral hogs,Alligators,and just about every kind of Exotic animal you can think of.
The bad thing about hunting in Texas is the lack of Public hunting lands.There are places to hunt,but most are draw/lottery for big game.
Otherwise,you will have to pay big bucks for a lease,unless you have your own property or know people that do.
The deer is pretty good. And the Hog ain't bad either.
To add shotgun hunting, Dove, Quail, Goose, Duck, Teal, Pheasant, Woodcock (especially challenging) and Turkey.
What region are you moving to? Texas is pretty large and game will vary on where you are located, but you can expect whitetail, hogs, coyotes, etc and a vast array of water fowl and other flying critters.
I live in Tennessee but Texas is one of my favorite places to hunt. I get out there about two or three times a year for a week or two each time. My best friend from Amarillo and I hunt in central Texas SW of Dallas about a hundred miles. The deer hunting is fantastic as well as hogs and turkey! I will see probably 30 deer a day and usually end up with a nice Texas Buck. They are not as big as the Midwestern and PA Monsters but there are a bunch. In the Midwest and PA you might be lucky to see a good buck a day? You will love it and probably as I become addicted to the Lone Star! We also coyote hunt and have a blast prarie dog hunting. He and I killed 300 one afternoon last fall. Take plenty of ammo "Oh yes and maybe a loader! LOL Watch out for the Rattlers! They like prairie dogs too!!! Good Luck and enjoy Texas!
i go back home to texas every deer season to hunt there. i go after hogs javelina rabbits(with a 1911) coyote deer. i will also take the odd rattler or 6 on occasion.
as said above not a lot of public hunting like in the midwest. most is leased or permission based in the case of hog and yote control.

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 3.2 has rattled part of the San Francisco Bay area.
The U.S. Geological Survey ways the quake hit at 2:52 p.m. about three miles southeast of downtown Berkeley. A police dispatcher says police hadn't received any reports of damage or injuries.
The quake follows a series of similar-sized temblors that shook the area last month. Two quakes on Oct. 20 — one with a magnitude of 3.8 and another a magnitude 4.0 — hit the same day that many Californians took part in an annual earthquake preparedness drill.

TROY, Mich. - Patricia Roberts has used the Consumers Energy budget plan at her Troy home for about 10 years.
"To me that made more sense because it evened out my monthly bill," she told Ruth to the Rescue.
This year, due to a mild winter and falling fuel prices she ended up overpaying by about $1,400. All Customers have the option of leaving the credit on their account to pay future bills, or they can ask for a check. Patricia felt the $1,400 was too much to leave sitting in the custody of Consumers Energy.
Customer frustration
As Patricia made several attempts to claim her refund, she says she was getting the runaround and promises to send a check were broken.
"I said I'm being persistent, I'm not working, I'm retired, I've got the time and stuff like this irritates me. How many people out there are trying to get their refund," Roberts said.
"We were aware that we were kind of bogged down, but Ruth to the Rescue did bring the problem to our attention," said Debra Dodd, spokesperson for Consumers Energy.
She says the company was slammed with 10-thousand requests for refunds this year. And, some customer service reps just didn't have the correct information.
"We hope that's been corrected- we've given more training tips out to our employees. Like I said, we put a couple more processes in place that should speed everything up," she told Ruth to the Rescue.
Dodd says employees are working overtime to clear the backlog by the end of the week.
Patricia Roberts did get her check on June 18, after starting the process back on May 9. She's happy to have the refund, and said this about the experience.
"It does show that when someone speaks up their voice is heard."

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ONXX) announced today that Blood, the medical journal of the American Society of Hematology, has published results from the 003-A1 Phase 2b trial, a single-arm, multicenter clinical trial evaluating Kyprolis (carfilzomib) for Injection for the treatment of patients with advanced multiple myeloma, who had received a median of five prior anti-myeloma regimens. The lead author was Dr. David Siegel, Chief of the Division of Multiple Myeloma at John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center.
On July 20, 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval of Kyprolis for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior therapies including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent (IMiD), and have demonstrated disease progression on or within 60 days of completion of the last therapy. Approval was based on response rate. Clinical benefit, such as improvement in survival or symptoms, has not been verified. Full prescribing information is available at http://www.onyx.com.
About the 003-A1 Study
Two hundred and sixty-six patients with relapsed multiple myeloma who had received at least two prior therapies including bortezomib and an IMiD were enrolled in the open-label, single-arm 003-A1 Phase 2b study, and 257 patients were evaluable for response. The authors reported on the primary endpoint and secondary endpoints of the 003-A1 trial. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR), defined as partial response (PR) or greater. The ORR was 23.7% among response-evaluable patients (n=257), and 22.9% among the total patient population (n=266). The median duration of response was 7.8 months. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) reported in this study were fatigue (49%) and anemia (46%), and the most common Grade 3/4 AEs were thrombocytopenia (29%) and anemia (24%). The most common AEs of any grade possibly related to carfilzomib were fatigue (37%) and nausea (34%).
Data from the 003-A1 study were previously presented at the 52nd American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in December 2010 and at subsequent international scientific meetings. The trial was conducted in collaboration with the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC) and at additional sites in the United States and Canada.
Important Safety Information Regarding Kyprolis (carfilzomib) for Injection
Safety data have been evaluated in 526 patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma who received single-agent carfilzomib. There were 37 deaths in the phase 2 studies, or 7% of patients. The most common causes of death, other than disease progression, were cardiac (5 patients), end-organ failure (4 patients), and infection (4 patients). Important warnings and precautions include cardiac arrest, congestive heart failure, myocardial ischemia; pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary complications, infusion reactions, tumor lysis syndrome, thrombocytopenia, hepatic toxicity and embryo-fetal toxicity.
Death due to cardiac arrest has occurred within a day of Kyprolis administration. Patients with New York Heart Association Class III and IV heart failure, myocardial infarction in the preceding 6 months, and conduction abnormalities uncontrolled by medications were not eligible for the clinical trials. These patients may be at greater risk for cardiac complications.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) was reported in 2% of patients treated with Kyprolis and was Grade 3 or greater in less than 1% of patients. Dyspnea was reported in 35% of patients enrolled in clinical trials. Grade 3 dyspnea occurred in 5%; no Grade 4 events, and 1 death (Grade 5) was reported.
Infusion reactions, characterized by a spectrum of systemic symptoms including fever, chills, arthralgia, myalgia, facial flushing, facial edema, vomiting, weakness, shortness of breath, hypotension, syncope, chest tightness, or angina can occur immediately following or up to 24 hours after administration of Kyprolis. Administration of dexamethasone prior to Kyprolis reduces the incidence and severity of reactions. Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) occurred following Kyprolis administration in < 1% of patients. Patients with multiple myeloma and a high tumor burden should be considered to be at greater risk for TLS.
Thrombocytopenia following Kyprolis administration resulted in a dose reduction in 1% of patients and discontinuation of treatment with Kyprolis in < 1% of patients.
Cases of hepatic failure, including fatal cases, have been reported (< 1%). Kyprolis can cause elevations of serum transaminases and bilirubin.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women using Kyprolis. Females of reproductive potential should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant while being treated with Kyprolis.
The most common serious adverse reactions were pneumonia, acute renal failure, pyrexia, and congestive heart failure. The most common adverse reactions (incidence of 30% or greater) observed in clinical trials of patients with multiple myeloma were fatigue, anemia, nausea, thrombocytopenia, dyspnea, diarrhea, and pyrexia. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 45% of patients.
About Multiple MyelomaMultiple myeloma is the second most common hematologic cancer and results from an abnormality of plasma cells, usually in the bone marrow. In the United States, more than 50,000 people are living with multiple myeloma and approximately 20,000 new cases are diagnosed annually.[i]Worldwide, more than 220,000 people are living with multiple myeloma and approximately 100,000 new cases are diagnosed annually.[ii]
About the Kyprolis (carfilzomib) for Injection Development Program
Kyprolis is being studied in several clinical trials either as a single-agent or in combination with other therapies, including:

Olive Oil Tuna & Grape Lettuce Wraps
No one wants to start out the New Year eating heavy and fatty foods. Well at least most people don't! So when planning a meal on New Years it's always a good idea to have healthier foods on the menu.
No one wants to start out the New Year eating heavy and fatty foods. Well at least most people don't! So when planning a meal on New Years it's always a good idea to have healthier foods on the menu.
These Olive Oil Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps are light and easy and can be made mostly in advance. The tuna salad is made with olive oil instead of mayonnaise, which adds a much healthier spin on the classic tuna salad.
By adding grapes into the tuna salad, you throw an unexpected twist to the recipe that brings extra flavor and sweetness. Plus, grapes are known to be lucky when enjoyed on New Years Day. I'll take that!
- 2 cans Albacore Tuna
- 2 stalks of celery, diced
- 10 Pickles, Chopped
- 2 tablespoons Honey Dijon Mustard
- 1 tablespoons pecans, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Pepper
- 1 small bundle of grapes, cut in half
- Salt and pepper, to Taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more if needed
- 1 head of Iceberg Lettuce, leaves detached to create lettuce cups
Place the 2 cans of tuna in a large bowl, and, using a fork, break apart the large chunks of tuna. Add the diced celery, chopped pickles, honey Dijon mustard, chopped pecans, lemon pepper, grapes, salt, and pepper.
Using the same fork, stir together the ingredients. Once combined, add the olive oil and stir to disperse the olive oil and to coat all the ingredients completely. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
To serve, place 1 spoonful of the tuna salad inside each lettuce cup. Serve immediately.
The tuna salad can be made in advance, just be sure to keep it a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to serve and place in the lettuce cups.
This tuna salad lasts up to 3 days in a sealed container.
Serves: about 6

Living a struggle for carless residents in Western Pennsylvania
A failing car and lack of public transit almost kept William Moore from taking a better job.
The position in Downtown Pittsburgh meant that Moore, 24, of Shaler would need a reliable vehicle. Otherwise, he'd have to hitch a ride to get to the nearest bus stop.
"I live in the suburbs, so I can't rely on public transportation," Moore said.
After getting a used car at a reduced price from North Hills Community Outreach's Community Auto program, Moore was able to accept a position as a customer service representative for UPMC.
His transportation issues, though, are not unusual, according to a report released in October by the Center for Housing Policy in Washington and The Center for Neighborhood Technology in Chicago, two nonprofit think tanks.
They examined costs of gas, rent, mortgages, transit fares, car and house insurance premiums, population density and more to estimate housing and transportation costs. Their report is called "Losing Ground."
The think tanks' researchers believe that studies examining only housing affordability are incomplete. A key part is location: Affordable housing needs to be where people can get to jobs, the grocery store and other points they must visit daily, they said.
The report found that housing and transportation costs for moderate-income households in the 25 largest metropolitan areas rose 44 percent between 2000 and 2010. Incomes, however, rose by just 25 percent during the same period.
Pittsburgh's housing and transportation costs increased 35 percent while incomes rose 29 percent.
The report ranked Pittsburgh first in affordable housing for moderate-income households but next-to-last in affordable transportation, putting the metro area seventh out of 25 for overall affordable living.
"It's a sophisticated study," said Sabina Dietrick, co-director of the University of Pittsburgh's Urban and Regional Analysis program. A key part of Pittsburgh's transportation problem is its public transit system, the report said.
Social workers and public officials say they recognize how difficult transportation can be for Pittsburgh's suburbanites.
Elizabeth Edwards, manager of North Hills Community Outreach's auto program, said the nonprofit began the program because lack of transportation is the biggest obstacle facing people trying to find work.
"That's the whole point of our program," she said. "We're trying to help working people who don't make a lot of money get a reliable car and become self-sufficient."
Recipients must work at least 25 hours a week and earn less than 250 percent of the federal poverty level to be eligible for assistance. That is about $28,000 for a single person and $58,000 for a family of four.
"They have to work and they have to save up the money, but we do sell it to them below the blue-book value," Edwards said.
Cars typically sell for $2,000 to $3,500. They come with a six-month warranty, a AAA membership and car seats for children.
Moore had a car when he graduated from St. Francis University with a degree in English, but the Ford Escort was on its last leg and he knew he couldn't afford to fix it up enough to pass another safety inspection.
Until he bought a 1996 Oldsmobile from North Hills Community Outreach, he thought he would be stuck clerking at a grocery store within walking distance of his home.
"I wouldn't have been able to take the new job when it was offered to me," he said.
Traveler's Aid Society of Pittsburgh, Downtown, provides gas cards for the Community Outreach recipients, according to Executive Director Robert Lindner.
In 2010, it provided bus passes for people who were unemployed for the first time or who had recently been hired.
Funded by a $75,000 grant from the Pittsburgh Foundation and United Way, the transportation program lasted about seven months.
"We were turning people away right and left, and the money ran out quickly," Lindner said.
The society plans to revive the program in January with a $100,000 grant from the Heinz Endowments, he said.
"It will probably last about six months," he said.
High bus fares and limited service drove Lauren Simmons, 25, of Knoxville to buy a 2003 Oldsmobile from the auto program.
It would often take four bus transfers for her to get her 5-year-old daughter to day care, she said, which limited where she could work.
Some employers won't hire you if you rely on public transportation to get to work, she said.
"That's the first question they ask: 'Do you have transportation?'" Simmons said.
In Braddock, Heritage Community Initiatives started a van service a decade ago to supplement limited bus transportation, said Michelle Atkins, Heritage's president and CEO.
"The single largest barrier to any service you need in Mon Valley and generally in the region is transportation," she said. "We started this program to try to solve that need."
The vans carry people to bus stops so they can reach their jobs or job-training programs. The federal funding that provides the service limits it to work-related trips.
Sarah Morgan, Heritage's transportation manager, said demand increased when Port Authority of Allegheny County cut routes in March 2011.
The van service went from providing about 5,500 rides a month in early 2011 to providing 12,600 rides in August.
The program has 2,600 registered riders, and has to deny rides to 50 to 60 people a week because vans are full, she said.
"We know that there's a lot of latent demand out there."

Contractions HereThese brain teasers rely on your ability to recognize groups of common attributes. For each of these puzzles you'll need to figure out why the words or letters are grouped as they are. Sometimes you will be asked to pick the odd-one-out or to place a new word into the correct group.
Only one contraction from Group B can be added to Group A. Which one is it, and why?
Group A: I'd, I'll, he'd, we'll, they're
Group B: I'm, he's, she'd, she'll, we've, you've
HintMaybe the title should be: Contractions Hear.
AnswerAll the words in Group A can sound like other words (that aren't contractions).
"I'd" can sound like "eyed".
"I'll" can sound like "aisle" or "all".
"He'd" can sound like "heed".
"We'll" can sound like "wheel" or "will"
"They're" can sound like "there".
"We've" can sound like "weave", and thus it can be added to Group A.
Can you think of any other contractions that could be in this group? Some obvious ones are:
"We'd" can sound like "weed".
"He'll" can sound like "heel" or "hill".
"You're" can sound like "your".
"It's" can sound like "its".

In his devastation, Kevin Rudd could take comfort from the experience of another one-time prime minister who lost the support of his own side: Robert Menzies.
Having spent three months visiting war-torn Britain in 1941, then prime minister Menzies returned to find his cabinet in revolt.
After failing to secure majority support in the cabinet, Menzies resigned and was reported to have said: ''I have been done … I'll lie down and bleed awhile.''
This was a leader who had held office for 2½ years but who had been widely seen as abrasive and arrogant.
Sound familiar?
His predecessor and rival, Earle Page, had been a bitter critic, accusing him of disloyalty and cowardice. Menzies was ''unable to lead a flock of homing pigeons'', said Page, who himself held the prime ministership for just 19 days.
Menzies retired for a time to the backbench, where he reached out to the public via radio, making 80 ''fireside chat'' broadcasts.
He returned as Opposition Leader in 1943. But it was not for eight years after his cabinet ignominy that Menzies was to wrest power from Labor.
The man who could not lead a flock of pigeons ended up flying high for 16 years to become by far Australia's longest-serving prime minister.
Menzies, in his first iteration, and Rudd held power for a similar period but in very different circumstances.
Menzies was prime minister during a war and while leading a divided Coalition government; Rudd survived a global financial crisis only to lose the leadership after abandoning the ''great moral challenge'' of carbon trading.
Menzies is the only leader since the war to have made a successful return bout as prime minister.
In more recent times, prime ministers, once they have lost office, have departed parliament soon afterwards, as witness John Howard, Paul Keating, Bob Hawke and Malcolm Fraser.
The most enduring political figure in many senses was Billy Hughes, who sat in Parliament for a record 51 years and seven months.
The ''Little Digger'' hung on as prime minister for eight years at the helm of three different political groupings. After losing government in 1923, he remained in parliament for another 30 years.
Would Rudd have the patience of a Menzies or a Hughes to wait years for another leadership opportunity?
Would he look to the precedent provided by his predecessor as Labor prime minister, Keating? He went to the back bench after failing to unseat Hawke by 44 to 66 votes in a leadership challenge in June 1991.
Just six months later, as the polls plummeted for both Hawke and Labor, Keating pounced again, and won by five votes.

Jazzercise Live will come June 27th through the 29th, to Washington DC. These ladies will join together for exercise, shopping, eating out, and making memories. The convention will take place next to our Washington DC inn, with a packed schedule of events.
Photo Credit: modavatecenter.com
Jazzercise is a dance themed, 60-minute fitness class. The routines are pre-choreographed to selected songs. Founded in 1969 by Judi Sheppard Missett, instructors, who are franchise owners, focus on resistance training, core work, cardio, and yoga; class prices vary according to location and studio.
What attracts women to this type of exercise? The creative flow and fellowship. All age groups, sizes, and skill level come together with the common pursuit to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. This can-do attitude that the Jazzercise brand supports, makes the workouts pleasurable, not competitive. High-energy classes are saturated with popular music to get the members moving and sweating; with low cardio, increasing the heart rate with faster movements, to end with muscle pump then stretch.
Jazzercise Live runs from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening. During that period, attendees will have a blend of tourist activities, live routine taping, special guest instructors, and a shopping expo. Indeed, this will be an exciting time for DC to get rocked by the Jazzercise culture.

General information
Rheumatoid arthritis can affect any joint in the body but usually affects the small joints in the hands and feet before any of the larger joints such as hips, knees, shoulders and elbows are affected. Joints are usually affected symmetrically (both the left and the right side of the body).
Rheumatoid arthritis occurs in all ethnic groups, climates and altitudes. In New Zealand it affects about 1-2% of the population. It is three times more common in women than it is in men.
Signs and symptoms
Fatigue can be one of the most difficult symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis for people to manage. Other symptoms may include:
- Pain in the joints
- Swelling (often accompanied by warmth and redness) of the joints
- Stiffness in the joints (generally worse in the mornings and after periods of rest)
- Muscle pain
- Mild fever
- Loss of appetite (with resulting weight loss)
- changes to the skin and nails
- Anaemia can also occur, often compounding the feeling of fatigue and the feeling of being generally unwell
Because rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic condition (ie, it can have an effect on the whole body) symptoms may be similar to having the flu. Rheumatoid arthritis can cause problems with other parts of the body. These include:
- Inflammation of the blood vessels (vasculitis)
- Inflammation of the linings of the lung or the heart
- Dryness of the eyes and mouth
Approximately one in six people with rheumatoid arthritis will develop significant joint deformity as a result of damage to the cartilage, bones and supporting structures such as the ligaments and tendons.
Genetic (inherited) factors:
The condition appears to run in families giving rise to the theory that genetic factors may influence its development.
Infectious agents:
It is possible that rheumatoid arthritis is triggered by the abnormal response of the body's immune system (autoimmune response) to some infections.
Hormonal factors:
Changes or deficiencies in certain hormones may be involved in the development of rheumatoid arthritis.
There is no single test that diagnoses rheumatoid arthritis. In its initial stages it may be difficult to distinguish rheumatoid arthritis from other forms of arthritis. In order to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis a doctor will usually undertake the following:
- A full medical history, including any family history of rheumatoid arthritis
- Discussion of current symptoms
- Physical assessment eg: of the joints, skin, reflexes and muscle strength
- X-rays and/or MRI scans
- Blood tests
Immunological tests
These tests assess levels of proteins and antibodies in the blood, including a protein called rheumatoid factor (RF), antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and sometimes other antibodies such as anti-CCP. Rheumatoid factor is present in up to 80% of people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Inflammatory markers
Blood tests to assess erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) may be performed. It is common for both of these markers to be elevated in people with rheumatoid arthritis and they can be a good indicator of the extent of the condition.
Treatment for rheumatoid arthritis is aimed at treating the symptoms. Goals of treatment are to:
- Reduce pain
- Reduce inflammation
- Minimise and/or prevent joint damage
- Maximise joint movement
Common types of medications used to treat the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include:
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
These medications work by treating pain and inflammation.
These medications eg: prednisone, work to reduce inflammation.
Disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs)
These medications are commonly used to treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Types of medications in this category include those used to suppress the immune system (eg: Imuran), anti-malarial medications (eg: Plaquenil), gold preparations (eg: Auranofin), Penicillamine and some medications normally used to treat cancer (eg: Methotrexate). Methotrexate is considered by many to be the anchor drug in managing severe rheumatoid arthritis.
Tumor Necrosis Factor–alpha (TNF-a)
These medications work by inhibiting an inflammatory chemical called tumor necrosis factor. The medication used will depend on the seveity of the arthritis. If effective, the medication may be continued for a number of years.
A range of physiotherapy treatments are used to reduce pain, improve movement, strengthen muscles, and maintain independence.
A balance should be reached between exercise and rest. When the disease is active more rest may be appropriate. Rest will help reduce fatigue, pain and inflammation. Exercise is important to increase muscle strength, decrease joint deformities and stiffness, and to maintain mobility. A physiotherapist can recommend an appropriate exercise regime.
Joint protection and work simplification methods can be effective in decreasing joint pain and fatigue. An occupational therapist or physiotherapist can give advice on these. The use of splints or joint-sparing devices such as zipper pullers or long-handled shoehorns may be suggested.
When pain is severe or deformities disabling, surgery may be indicated. Commonly this involves hip and knee joint replacements but it may be necessary to perform other joint replacements. The repair of tendons, nerves or joint structures such as the synovial membrane may also be required.
Some people find therapies such as acupuncture, meditation, relaxation techniques and homeopathy helpful in managing symptoms. Dietary supplements such as fish oils may also be beneficial.

The Butterfly Alphabet Book (Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet Books)
by Brian Cassie
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I remember when I first came upon this author and it was since of my elementary school. We had an assembly where the author was invited and ever since he told me there was a Julia butterfly I have been hooked with him.
The book writing is simple, large letters and easy for any child to read, especially with very young beginners. The author uses each entry to describe some fun facts for the children
The other thing that will catch the reader's attention is the beautiful detailed artwork and the interactive reading style that asks the reader to answer a question or whether you thought a non-butterfly was an actual butterfly. There are other parts that will have the reader trying to find the butterflies while the author closes with a suggestion that the reader go look for butterflies in their neighborhood with the put in warning to be careful since they are fragile (brownie points).
I was just disappointed a bit that the Julia butterfly wasn't included....
Definitely a literary gem!
This is a beautiful book and will be very useful when studying butterflies.
I love all the pictures in this book. They are all bright and colorful. This book goes through each letter and names a butterfly species that matches. Then the book gives a detailed explanation of what the butterfly looks like and some facts about it. The illustrations also show how the butterfly looks exactly and where they can be found. This book would be good for kindergarten as well as the upper elementary grade levels who are experimenting with butterflies, watching them grow from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
This book describes all different kids of butterflie from A to Z. It would be great to use if my science class was studying butterflies and would also come in handy when learning the ABC's for younger children. www.jerrypallotta.com

Self Promotion Poster
Hi, I am Vivi Feng
Hi, I am Vivi Feng
This promotional poster is made for introducing my different personality and my work to you. On the front side, you will see different couples of words to describe me: social/independent, strong/sensitive, China/USA, Advertising/design, computer/handcraft. There is a hidden structure of the poster, when you pull it out, the infographic about every word will show, and there's a percentage of every description of my personality.
On the back of the poster are some of my works, since I'm mainly a packaging major designer, I put 3 packaging projects and 1 type project on it. Also the structure hide the detailed information about the project, you have to pull it out to see it.
Finally the guy hold the poster obvious NOT ME!
Thank You!

"We feel it is important to keep pharmacies open in smaller communities. Astrup Drug began in Austin in 1952 and has been a family-owned business for 60 years. We feel this acquisition will only help to provide continued service to the communities in Southeast Minnesota."
That's what Tim Gallagher of Astrup Drug, Inc. of Austin, Minn. said last week following the announcement that Witt's Pharmacy, based in Rushford was purchased by Astrup Drug.
Tom Witt purchased his first pharmacy in February 1996 in Rushford. Since then he has added five locations in Caledonia, La Crescent, a second store in Rushford, Spring Grove and Harmony.
Witt said crucial to selling his pharmacies was finding a buyer who would maintain a presence in small communities. He also hoped to find a buyer who's business was family-owned. Both will become reality with the sale to Astrup Drug, Inc, as Astrup Drug has been providing its communities with their pharmacy needs since 1952 when Leonard Astrup opened his first store in Austin.
Today, Astrup has 12 locations in southern Minnesota and northern Iowa, operating under the names of Sterling and Smart Pharmacy including: Adrian, Albert Lea, Austin, Buffalo, Byron, Fairmont, Faribault, Hastings, Owatonna, Worthington, and a location in Osage, Iowa.
"The acquisition of these stores will strengthen our footprint in Southern Minnesota and give us the ability to be the independent pharmacy of choice for those throughout much of the I-90 corridor", said Sam Ewing, vice president of operations for Astrup.
Witt's employees have been notified of the change and know the intention of Astrup is to maintain current staffing and locations.
Gallagher said the Witt's Pharmacies will operate under the Sterling Pharmacy name. While they don't plan a lot of changes, there will be some new merchandise lines added to some of the stores.
"We have smaller stores and we have one in Austin that is 30,000 square feet," Gallagher said. "With our larger stores we offer gift shops and health-line appliances like walkers and wheelchairs. It just depends on how big the store is, as far as how much merchandise we will offer at each location."
Gallagher said Astrup Drug, Inc. also owns and operates Smart-Fill, a large buying group that has over 500 stores. With this large buying group, Astrup is able to purchase many items on a much larger scale and pass those savings on to its customers.
"We are really excited about this acquisition," Gallagher said. "We have the network in place to be able to operate quite a few stores from our main headquarters in Austin."
Witt looks forward to having more free time and "testing out retirement". With the change in ownership, Witt plans to winter in warm climates and spend more time with his family.

Slowly but surely I'm ticking off some of my long pending projects that have also been very close to my heart. And, in doing so, I'm feeling much peace. Really, procrastination drains my spirit, I should know and understand clearly – once and for all.
First, it was the mud pie kitchen. Then, a BIG chalkboard that I'd envisioned having on one of the bigger walls in Pari's room.
This chalkboard (6 feet by 4 feet) , I'd been really, really wanting to have – to serve as the 'voice' for each of us. I'd visioned it to be a place in the house where Pari and I would stop by any time we just felt like giving an outlet to our thoughts – in the form of words, doodles, zentangle, poems – whatever.
We have a smaller one for years now, which has been useful, too.
But I knew that a wall-sized canvas/writing area would inspire at so many levels. It's basically about the "space". When an entire wall transforms itself into a space for self-expression, no one can remain untouched.
You feel invited, inspired and raring to go.
It serves as a wonderful place for discussion and brainstorming.
And, well – also as a means to tackle boredom. (wink)
Yeah – all of THAT was my vision rather than creating a classroom at home. No way. Far from it, I've been encouraging Pari to use it in all sorts of ways for HER to challenge ME. Like – throw an un-scramble challenge at me; sketch a shape that I can zentangle inside; write a math equation that I can solve!
So, she thinks, she's the one in charge rather than me. No way would I want her to think that I'm out to TEACH her and that her learning is under my control.
I want to motivate her to be in charge of her own learning.
(In the picture below, I wrote that poem from our collection while Pari drew Daffodils to illustrate the line from the poem – "and sometimes clouds have a daffodil hue")
The chalkboard has also been a wonderful get-together point for her with her friends.
They play teacher/school games! Oh well!
All said and done – the teacher games seem to be the most popular among kids, especially girls!
I've noticed that sometimes (well, these days – often) when Pari is not motivated to write using paper pen/pencil, she gets a fresh bout of motivation (and ideas) when I mention the chalkboard.
Especially with Hindi (our mother tongue), which she's never keen on writing. The chalkboard lends itself beautifully to many word games encouraging her to write a ton of words – all the while under the impression that she's playing! (wink)
In the photo below, I play a game with her in which she needs to decipher the code (solve the riddle) and write it in Hindi. She thinks she's playing a detective. Each time she deciphers the code, I give her a "code-hugger hug" – whatever that means! But, it's the high point of the game for her – with lot of giggles and pride!
While I wonder at her innocence!
Not to mention – it saves piles of paper each day.
Isn't it symbolic then that our chalkboard is green and not black!

This past Wednesday (5th February) was World Nutella Day….(can you see where I'm going with this?) As soon as I learnt about this gift of a day, I knew it would be an absolute travesty and a disservice to you gorgeous people, not to have a Nutella recipe on the blog today. I'm not sure I could ever forgive myself for not sharing this beaut of a recipe with you. Not only am I giving you these scrumptious Nutella-stuffed blondies, but a Nutella tipple to go with them too! Never let it be said I don't spoil you.
I don't think I could have fitted anymore Nutella into today's recipe if I had tried….well, only if I'd added some Nutella to the blondie batter, but even a Nutella aficionado like me would have maybe found that to be a bit too much Nutella….although, is there such a thing?!
Anybody who knows me, or has been reading the blog for awhile, will know how much I
like adore Nutella. It's not unusual for the Domestic Prince to find me hiding in our pantry having a sneaky spoonful of this heavenly stuff. The recipe today is probably one of my all time fav Nutella ones. I truly hope you enjoy it, as much as I do.
Nutella-stuffed Blondies (makes 12 blondies)
- 200g unsalted butter
- 225g light brown sugar
- 1/4tsp of salt
- 1 1/2tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 250g plain flour
- 1/4tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1tsp baking powder
- 60g – 100g Nutella, straight from the fridge (how much depends upon how greedy you are!)
I used the same recipe for these Nutella blondies, as I did for those tempting Mini Egg ones from last year. But, for ease, I'm popping the recipe down below.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C/Fan 160C/Gas mark 4. Line a 12-cup muffin tray with cases.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and whisk in the sugar and salt. The more you whisk it, the lighter and fluffier your blondies will be.
- Add in the vanilla extract and whisk again. Take off the heat and leave to cool to room temperature.
- Once the sugar/butter mixture has cooled, add the eggs and give a good whisk.
- Into a large bowl sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. Then into the flour, whisk small amounts of the the egg and butter mixture until it's all been combined. Don't pour all the egg and butter mixture in at once, as you'll end up with a lumpy mixture.
- Put a heaped teaspoon of the blondie batter into each case, then put a teaspoon of Nutella straight from the fridge on top, and finally put another heaped teaspoon of the blondie mixture over the Nutella to seal it in.
- Pop the tray in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is slightly cracking, the outer edges are firm and the middle still slightly gooey.
- Leave to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 to 15 minutes, before icing with frosting.
Nutella Cream Cheese Frosting
- 50g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 250g icing sugar, sifted
- 125g cream cheese, cold
- 175g Nutella
- Beat the butter and the icing sugar together. I use my freestanding mixer for this with the paddle attachment, but an electric hand whisk will do the job just as well. Use a low speed until the ingredients have come together and the sugar and butter are well combined.
- Add all the cream cheese and mix until it's all completely incorporated.
- On a medium to high speed beat the frosting for around 5 minutes until it is light and fluffy. Be careful not to overbeat, as it can become runny.
- Add in the Nutella and give a quick beat until it's all mixed in.
- Decorate the blondes with the frosting. As you'll see from the picture above, icing is definitely not a forte of mine! Thankfully how they look doesn't impair their taste.
If that wasn't enough Nutella….here's another a gem of a recipe to satisfy even the most die-hard Nutella fan.
Nutella, Banana & Rum Milkshake (serves 4)
- 400ml milk (I used full fat)
- 8 scoops of vanilla ice cream
- 120ml of rum (dark or white)
- 300g of Nutella
- Handful of ice
- Put everything in a blender and whizz until it's as smooth as silk. What could be simpler?!
I don't have any other tips for these recipes apart from to enjoy every mouthful and gulp! Isn't it lovely to find other ways to eat Nutella apart from straight off the spoon?
And on that note, I'm off to deliver the above goodies to some lucky neighbours! If you make these, please let me know how you get on, or upload your pictures of them to the Domestic Princess Facebook page.
Have a wonderful weekend and see you all next week!
With much love
The Domestic Princess
