Clinical Trials
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Treatment for HIV Infected Patients Who Have Interrupted Their Anti-HIV Drug Therapy
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Information provided by (Responsible Party)
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
First received: May 29, 2002
Last updated: May 9, 2012
Last Verified: May 2012
History of Changes
When an HIV infected person taking strong anti-HIV drugs temporarily stops taking them, viral
load rises and the body's immune system is exposed to more HIV. This may lead to the body
mounting a better immune response against the virus. The purpose of this study is to find out
if taking interleukin-2 (also called IL-2 or aldesleukin) while stopping anti-HIV drugs for
short periods of time can help patients control their HIV viral load.
Study hypothesis: Patients in this study will have lower virologic rebound and will maintain their CD4 cell counts for a longer time than other patients in comparative studies.
HIV Infections
Drug : Aldesleukin
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|An Exploratory, Open-Label, Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Ability of Interleukin-2 (IL-2) to Enhance HIV-Specific Immunity and Influence the Time to Virologic Relapse Following Withdrawal of Potent Antiretroviral Therapy
Further study details as provided by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID):
Primary Outcome Measures
- Mean of log10 HIV-1 RNA copies/ml obtained at Weeks 11 and 12 following the final interruption of potent antiretroviral therapy
|Study Completion Date:
|May 2006
Detailed Description:
Structured treatment interruptions (STIs) may stimulate an anti-HIV immune response. Evidence
suggests that IL-2, which increases CD4 counts, could also enhance specific immune responses
to HIV. Enhanced immune responses could influence the magnitude of and the time to virologic
rebound following treatment discontinuation. This study will compare the viral loads present
after 12 weeks of an antiretroviral therapy (ART) interruption period between patients who
have received different dosing regimens of IL-2 and have taken part in at least two STIs.
This study will last 40 to 104 weeks. IL-2 is provided as part of this study; potent ART is not provided. Patients in this study will receive potent ART with at least two scheduled potent ART interruptions. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms. Arm A patients will receive low-dose injections of IL-2 for 3 weeks, during the last 2 weeks of potent ART interruption periods and the first week of restarting potent ART. Arm B patients will receive high-dose injections of IL-2 during the first 5 days of restarting potent ART after the interruption period. The first two ART interruptions are 4 weeks in duration, followed by 12 weeks back on ART. Depending on the patient's viral load and CD4 count at Week 32, patients will either enter a third potent ART interruption for 12 to 48 weeks or will continue ART. No IL-2 will be given with the third scheduled potent ART interruption. Throughout the study, participants will have physical exams and laboratory tests, including measurements of viral load and CD4 count.

text: The odometer on Bret Boyd's big brown 1987 GMC rolled over to show all zeros recently. It was just another routine day in the same vehicle he's been behind the wheel of for his 22 years — as a UPS driver in East Texas. During that time the truck has reportedly gone through at least three engines and been repainted the same number of times, though we suppose it's hard not to lose count. What makes the GMC's longevity even more admirable is not just that the truck has never been in an accident during all that time, but also that Boyd has declined a new replacement vehicle. He prefers to just stick with ol' reliable, saying the truck feels "like home... sitting in the recliner in your house." [DallasNews] (Thanks Travis!)

Veteran Santa Cruz surfer Peter Mel was declared the winner of the 2013 Mavericks Surf Invitational last weekend.
GoPro, a contest sponsor, released surfboard-close video of Mel's runs and they are nothing short of amazing.
We've posted GoPro's pre-produced video below.
GoPro said the video was shot on the HERO3 camera. GoPro cameras are small, super durable, and stream the kind of video that makes your jaw drop.
GoPro recently got a 200 million dollar investment from Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn, valuing the camera company at a staggering $2.25 billion.
GoPro has taken the lead when it comes to powerful cameras that can go just about anywhere; by giving us a front-row seat to one of the most photographed events anywhere, it shows no sign of giving up that lead.
Back to the surfing. Mei has competed in the event since its inception in 1999.
He is a well-known Northern California surfer with two decade's experience surfing.
Mel is known for helping launch the tow-in surfing movement locally, according to competition organizers. He also had a win in August in Pico Alto, Peru on the second stop of the annual Big Wave World Tour.
The top six winners:
- 1st Peter Mel
- 2nd Zach Wormhoudt
- 3rd Greg Long
- 4th Alex Martins
- 5th Mark Healey
- 6th Shawn Dollar

John Espley is my wife's 2nd cousin 2x removed. His parents are Daniel Tilstone Espley and Jane Roe. The common ancestors of my wife and John are James Espley and Martha Silvester, my wife's 3x great grandparents.
John was born in 1883 in Stockport, Cheshire and his birth is registered in Q1.
John enlisted for service on 22 November 1915 at the age of 32 years and 10 months. His military service number was 550125 and he was assigned to the Army Reserve.
It appears from the records I have been able to find on http://www.ancestry.co.uk that John did not face active service in France.
John was eventually mobilised on 18 April 1917. There is a letter from the War Office dated 14 April 1917 posting him to the Inland Waterway & Docks Section of The Royal Engineers.
Although I can't find details of the promotion in the records available on http://www.ancestry.co.uk it appears that John achieved the rank of sergeant major.
He was demobilised on 28 April 1919.
After the war John married Florence Stead in 1920 in Stockport. He died on 23 September 1938.

First Achievement Center of 'Hope and Harmony for Humanity' Initiative to Open on Blackfeet Nation
ARMONK, NY – September 25, 2006 – In partnership with the Native American Chamber of Commerce and with SeniorNet, a leading nonprofit technology educator of older adults, IBM today announces 'Hope and Harmony for Humanity', a grant-based initiative designed to bring computer technology access and education to low-income and remote Native American reservations across the nation.
The initiative kicks off with the opening of the first Achievement Center at the Blackfeet Nation in Browning, Montana on Thursday September 28 th, 2006, and will continue over the next three years with the opening of five Achievement Centers on rural and low-income reservations.
The agenda for the day's events is as follows:
Hope and Harmony for Humanity Initiative Achievement Center Grand
Opening – Blackfeet Nation Community College, Beaver Painted Lodge
Thursday, September 28 th, 2006
11: 45 – 1:00 p.m., MDT Reception and Cultural Exhibition
1:00 – 2:00 p.m., MDT Formal Opening and Welcome Speeches
"IBM is proud to sponsor this groundbreaking initiative," said Ron Glover, vice president of IBM Global Workforce Diversity. "As Native American reservations are geographically distant from metropolitan centers and often lack community infrastructure, they are often left behind in the information age. This program really aims to help them realize all of the education and communication benefits of technology and to bridge the digital divide."
The Lenovo PC-based Achievement Centers will offer computer and Internet access, education and training at all levels for reservation residents of all ages. In addition to computer training that covers the fundamentals through more advanced courses, the Achievement Centers will serve as an education center for the communities, offering classes on topics such as Family History and Genealogy, Health, Language Training, Work Skills, and Tutoring, as well as a host of life skills and enrichment curriculum for the community's residents.
"Many are not aware of the extreme poverty that exists on the Blackfoot Nation which leads to a daily dismal picture of everyday life," said Carroll Cocchia, President of the Native American Chamber of Commerce in Houston, Texas. " With the help of exceptional corporations like IBM through their participation in the Hope and Harmony for Humanity initiative, we are helping to better the situation for tribal communities like the Blackfeet Nation, and leveling the playing field by giving them access to computers and technology education."
"In SeniorNet's 20-year history we've brought over one million older adults around the world together with computers and technology, and IBM has been a key contributor to this milestone," said Kristin Fabos, SeniorNet's Executive Director. "Despite this success, the 'Digital Divide' remains a very real issue, and as we embark upon SeniorNet's next 20 years, we're expanding our mission and leveraging our proven curriculum to bridge the digital divide for older adults in underserved and rural communities. We're thrilled to partner with IBM and the Native American Chamber of Commerce to enable the residents of the Blackfeet Nation to experience the benefits of computers and technology education."
This first IBM-funded 'Hope and Harmony for Humanity' Achievement Center at the Blackfeet Nation reservation in Browning, Montana will offer its first semester of courses this Fall, beginning with the SeniorNet Computer Curriculum.

From the hacking of a Hollywood studio to data security breaches at major banks to the European Court of Justice's decision on the "right to be forgotten," there has been a growing awareness of the extent to which personal data can be both a business asset and a liability. According to a recent Accenture survey, 77 percent of businesses agree the responsible and secure use of data has become a strategic, board-level issue—and nearly two-thirds report they now have a Chief Data/Privacy Officer or equivalent.
However, the debate over the use of personal data points to a broader issue: What constitutes responsible business behavior in the digital economy? Some 30 years ago, companies began to respond to concerns about their impact on stakeholders and communities by embracing corporate social responsibility. Today, in response to similar societal concerns, business needs to embrace the emerging doctrine of "corporate digital responsibility" to help navigate effectively the ever-expanding realm of data and devices.
Five principles
In 2014, more than one billion smartphones were in use around the world. Facebook had 1.35 billion active users each month, and nearly 6,000 tweets were sent each second. With the take-up of smart devices and social media, vast amounts of personal data are being created. In the United States, a typical white-collar worker generates 5,000 megabytes of data—roughly the size of two high-definition movies—every day.
Overall, personal data makes up about 75 percent of all digital data created. And its volume—and value—is on the rise as businesses use it to personalize customer offerings, create innovative products and find new markets.
To adapt successfully to this new reality, businesses must grapple with several fundamental questions: Who owns this data? What are the appropriate restrictions for governing how businesses use it? What is public and what is private in a world where the line between the two seems less and less distinct?
While there are no easy answers, Accenture has identified five principles that will increasingly define what it means to be a responsible business in the digital economy. Companies that understand and take action on these principles will be positioned not only to manage today's challenges but also to differentiate themselves for growth in the future.
Principle 1:
Companies must engage in digital stewardship, using the data they collect in a responsible and secure manner. The likes of Apple and Amazon, for example, refuse to share detailed personal data from their systems with third parties. Other companies are working together to enhance the security of customer data. Retailers including Gap, Target and Walmart are collaborating to develop a mobile wallet that will seek to offer better security than bank-issued credit cards. The business case for stewardship is compelling: Nine out of 10 of US Internet users suggest they would avoid companies that do not keep their data secure.
Principle 2:
Companies need to develop strategies to manage growing customer expectations for greater digital transparency. Spanish telecommunications giant Telefonica is doing just that. Its "data locker," which is currently under development, would offer customers opt-in choices for sharing personal data in exchange for new services; more active data-sharers would also earn rewards.
Transparency can also act as a powerful point of differentiation: A survey of consumers in the United Kingdom showed that 54 percent feel better about brands that are transparent in their data practices, while 48 percent further indicated that they would be more likely to purchase these brands.
Principle 3:
Companies can use data under their control to offer their customers digital empowerment, helping them to make better decisions about their health, education and finances. In the United Kingdom, Tesco mines data from its Clubcard program, which currently has more than 16 million users, to offer tips for a healthy diet as a means of fighting obesity. Australia's Commonwealth Bank uses data and predictive analytics on an interactive platform to help customers make better-informed personal finance decisions. Although there may be short-term costs to such empowerment (fewer overdraft charges for banks, for example), the approach may well pay off in enhanced long-term customer loyalty and reputation.
Principle 4:
As customers become more aware of the potential value of their data, businesses will increasingly need to give them greater digital equity. This means seeing data collection as a two-way transaction that results in a perceived fair-value exchange. Take New York-based Tsū, a social network launched in October 2014. Like typical social media platforms, Tsū earns its revenue through on-site advertising. But the company shares 90 percent of its ad revenue with its users; there is a sliding scale that rewards users according to how active they are on the site.
Principle 5:
Businesses should seize the opportunity to practice digital inclusion, multiplying the impact of their digital assets for social good. In 2014, Johnson & Johnson agreed to give all of its clinical trial data to Yale University to help advance science and medicine, positioning itself favorably with consumers and medical professionals alike. In the same year, Twitter launched data grants to share tweet data with selected researchers to help address issues ranging from urban flooding to food-borne gastrointestinal illness.
In addition to doing good, digital inclusion can help companies do well—for example, by unlocking new sources of growth in non-traditional markets. France's Orange Telecom is sharing its data on mobile signals and call patterns with Groupe Huit—a think tank specializing in urban development in emerging economies—to map urban areas in Côte d'Ivoire more accurately. Orange will also be able to use the findings to refine its business operation in that country and potentially commercialize the methodology in other markets.
From principles to practice
For most companies, the gap between these principles and the mindsets, strategies and capabilities they have today is significant. For example, although 85 percent of businesses surveyed by Accenture agree on the importance of enhancing transparency in the way customer data is used, only 65 percent are taking action on it. Similarly, while 81 percent agree that empowering customers to make better life decisions will be important, just a little more than half (55 percent) are actively pursuing this principle. Perhaps understandably, many are focused on shoring up their "digital license to operate"—reassuring customers that they are using data responsibly—before they are able to think about opportunities for value creation.
However, just as approaches to corporate social responsibility shifted from mitigating risk to generating revenue growth, expect businesses to follow a similar trajectory with corporate digital responsibility. Indeed, forward-looking companies will integrate this strategy into their core business as a key lever toward enhanced differentiation and new sources of growth.
Those that fail to do so will increasingly find themselves in the headlines, on the wrong side of their customers, competitors and policy makers alike.

Round robin DNS is a technique in which load balancing is performed by a DNS server instead of a strictly dedicated machine. A DNS record has more than one value IP address.
When a request is made to the DNS server which serves this record, the answer it gives alternates for each request. For instance, if you had a three webserver that you wished to distribute requests between, you could setup your DNS zone as follows:
Open your zone file using vi text editor and add/modify www entry as follows:
# vi zone.cyberciti.biz
Append/modfiy www entry:
www IN A 188.8.131.52 IN A 18.104.22.168 IN A 126.96.36.199 IN A 126.96.36.199
Save and restart BIND9. If you run nslookup for cyberciti.biz:
# nslookup cyberciti.biz
Address: 18.104.22.168 Name: cyberciti.biz Address: 126.96.36.199 Name: cyberciti.biz Address: 22.214.171.124 Name: cyberciti.biz Address: 220.127.116.11
One more time:
# nslookup cyberciti.biz
Name: cyberciti.biz Address: 220.127.116.11 Name: cyberciti.biz Address: 126.96.36.199 Name: cyberciti.biz Address: 220.127.116.11 Name: cyberciti.biz Address: 220.127.116.11
When a query is made to the DNS server it will first give the IP of 188.8.131.52 for the www host. The next time a request is made for the IP of www, it will serve 18.104.22.168 and so on.
The order in which IP addresses from the list are returned is the basis of the round robin name. While this is a form of load balancing, it should be noted that if one of the hosts becomes unavailable, the DNS server does not know this, and will still continue to give out the IP of the downed server.

Senate immigration bill teeters as it tilts rightwardPublished: Jun 6, 2013 8:00 am By: Lisa Mascaro and Brian Bennett
"The Senate immigration bill is poised to undergo a decidedly rightward shift in an attempt to attract more Republican votes, but that threatens to erode bipartisan consensus.
Democratic and Republican authors of the bill have expressed a willingness to make changes and toughen the border security provisions as the sweeping immigration overhaul heads to the floor next week. But a debate has emerged over how much is too much."

Finally, there is light in the dining room!
More specifically, a light. Or should I say, a lantern. The lantern.
After chatting with Mike's mom, Joy, about my vision for the fixture, I told her that I wanted something that felt authentic for a "Cape Cod" style house. Being Joy and an expert in all things unique and special, "Have you looked at Cape Cod Lantern Company? They are in Chatham. I believe they make all of the lanterns at Chatham Bars Inn." Only Joy would know great things like that sitting in KC!
Do you remember my post about our stay at the Chatham Bars Inn? I oogled over the authentic fixtures and lanterns that hung seemingly everywhere on the property. The photo above (no, that is not my family room...) is of the sitting room at the Inn.
So, I immediately searched their site and found the "5652 Concord" Lantern. Not only did I love the style but I loved that this particular style was a nod to our New England home, Concord. Perfect.
I love it. It is simple, yet very striking. The scale is lovely, which I was a little concerned about before it arrived... would it be too big? Not big enough? But, alas, it is just right.
I love that it is an authentic, handmade representation of our time in New England that hangs in the center of our home. I imagine that we will take it with us to all of our future homes. As Mike and I drove through Mission Hills on our way to dinner last weekend, I noticed all of the graceful lanterns that hung in front of the front doors of the large stately homes... maybe someday...
I'm not big on souveneirs, I mostly rely on photos instead of sweatshirts, but I have to say... This is one great souvenir!
I had it made (all of their fixtures are handmade to order) in Antique Brass finish with clear glass to compliment the original brass fixtures in our house. The un-laqured finish will weather and age with time.
You may also notice a peek at our Christmas decorations that are beginning to take their places. In our windows, I've hung fresh bay leaf wreaths. They smell soooo good.
Here is another look at the room - a couple of stacks of plates, compote of tangerines, etc., piled in the center of the table from my holiday header shoot for the blog.
Another "authentic" decision for the room was to feature photos from our travels. As I was getting ready to order some random prints of botanicals and birds, I decided to take a more authentic approach to the artwork that hung in our home. I decided to have 11x14 photos from our favorite experiences displayed in the room.
They are framed in frames that are painted the same color as our trim, Navajo White in Satin. The walls are painted navajo white in flat.
Above : Stowe, Vermont and Martha's Vineyard
I included a caption of the place and date of each photo.
We plan to keep adding to our collection... maybe someday we'll have an entire wall gallery devoted to it... I imagine it in a long hallway - in the same stately home in which the lantern hangs in our entryway.

According to Adam Schefter, it doesn't look good for the the NFL's reigning defensive player of the year.
Update: Schefter now says it's not clear whether Suggs sustained the injury "playing basketball or in a conditioning test." He adds that Suggs is optimistic he can return by October, though recovery from an Achilles tear typically takes up to a year.

In Their Own Words
"As I reflect on my own educational experiences, the most important realization I came to as a student is that I am responsible for my education more so than my teachers, my school, my parents, or society. I learned that being a student is a proactive experience and that you only get out of it as much as you are willing to put in. Students who are proactive regarding their education will not only gain the respect of their teachers but their teachers will be more willing to go that 'extra mile' for them. Ultimately, your educational experience will be much more rewarding."

A theme is a configuration file, stored in a specific directory, that typically changes the WPS , font used and on some platforms additional information such as background image and text colours.
There are a number of themes that ship with Rockbox. If none of these suit your needs, many more can be downloaded from http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?target=player.
Note: Themes do not have to be purely visual. It is quite possible to create a theme that switches between audio configurations for use in the car, with headphones and when connected to an external amplifier. See section 11.2.2 for more details.

Ch. 3. Swine-Flu Virus and Vaccine
(For Chapter 2, see https://sbeckow.wordpress.com/the-end-times/ch-2-the-darks-plans/).
Pandemics are Part of Depopulation Plan
One strategy in the Illuminati's plan to depopulate the globe is to create and spread pandemics.
Matthew tells us that "this new flu effort and other Illuminati activities" are all created "to drastically reduce the population." (1)
The Spiritual Hierarchy and Galactic Federation (SHGF), speaking through Sheldan Nidle, confirm that "most outbreaks of potentially serious epidemics around your planet are deliberate and have their origins in [Illuminati] laboratories." (2)
"We have observed the many biological projects produced in the dark cabal's laboratories. While we have drastically curtailed these projects since the late 1990's, several of them, introduced during the 1970's and '80s, devastated your world and became major global epidemics." (3)
Matthew also confirms that the top levels of Big Pharma are an arm of the Illuminati and are responsible for creating and spreading pandemics.
"Yes, indeed [the pharmaceutical companies' top management] are Illuminati, and they still wield strong influence in clinical medicine, medical research and drug approval bodies—in short, they have been creating diseases by one means or another and manipulating health care systems and medications around your world." (4)
The media play their role in this strategy. The Illuminati strategy of "ordering … laboratory-designed, created and released swine flu virus is, as before, abetted by the controlled media's part of the plan, to declare PANDEMIC!"
Matthew says he is puzzled that the dark did not learn from "their abject failures with SARS and then the avian flu, both of which were widely publicized with the same global pandemic prognosis; eventually the publicity was forced to cease because those diseases caused a few deaths, then totally fizzled out." (5)
In April of this year, Matthew assured us that the "Illuminati plan—biowarfare—not only will fail, but will be a huge breach in their remaining toehold in your world." (6)
He explains, at some length, how a secondary purpose of the so-called pandemic was to distract the world's attention from other Illuminati operations.
"Think about the timing of this latest disease publicity.
"In addition to authorizing the creation of a virus and its intended worldwide fear, the darkly-inclined individuals' aim is to distract the attention of the populace from their growing demands for peaceful negotiations; indicting responsible ones in the US government who authorized torture; the truth about the perpetrators of `9/11′; what caused the collapse of the global economy; the decades of government cover-up about the presence of extraterrestrials; who operates the illegal drug industry; the real purpose of chemtrails and weather control; the aims of the worldwide Zionist movement; and the `black ops' behind terrorism around your world.
"It is not enough to create a distraction for only the people of the United States simply because this is the country where much of the corruption and deception originated and where now investigations are running deep.
"No, it must be a global effort because individuals with dark intentions, who live around the world, are panicking as they see other governments' citizens joining the clamor for truth, for peace, for renewable energy sources, for improved health care and education, for just laws and rightful recognition of women's equality.
"All of those are anathema to dark individuals as those conditions are the opposite of all dark goals. But just as the collapse of the global economy is exposing the truth about who has been manipulating it, so will this swine-flu plan expose other evils perpetrated by the same dark ones within the Illuminati or under their control. Welcome this evidence of progress in `bringing to light' the truth and the fast-withering tendrils of dark energy around your planet!" (7)
Humans Have Revolted Against Fear
In regards to pandemic propaganda, the Guardians, through Lisa Renee, advise us that the best thing we can do is to "stay connected to your spirit, take care of yourself and stay out of fear programs." (8)
SaLuSa in September of this year warned us of the dangers of becoming afraid: "Fear is the weapon of the dark Ones, and it has crept into all aspects of your life." (9)
SaLuSa predicts that we will revolt against it:
"We see a major revolt against it, and the imposition of its mandatory use will engender a great backlash from the public. Like a number of earlier flus, it is man-made, and intended to keep you in a state of panic.
"That you have woken up to how you are being used and abused has stalled the progress of the Illuminati plan to hold you all in their grasp." (10)
He also counsels us to remain unafraid in the face of these events:
"Do not be fearful regardless of what your news brings you, as currently the dark energies are directed at people through the threat of mandatory vaccinations. There is always something on the agenda of the dark Ones, who still stare defeat in the face but have no humility to admit it." (11)
Matthew says that our lack of fear is the proof that the Illuminati's plan did not work lies in the lack of fear they were able to generate. "Yes, there is some fear…, but not nearly in the proportion the Illuminati intended and expected. Quite the opposite—this is a setback of major proportion for them! "
"Peoples' reactions show their expanding consciousness, and this is likely to cause widespread outrage that will not be confined to the deliberate attempt to infect millions and cause global panic." (12)
Matthew Assures us that Vaccine will be Neutralized
Back in December of 2008, Matthew explained that most pandemics since 2001 had been neutralized:
"By honoring Earth's free will to never again experience any terrorist activity like '9/11,' God has authorized extraterrestrial intervention to prevent all such attempts and they have successfully done so more than a dozen times since September 11, 2001, including the neutralizing of manmade viruses that were intended to create pandemics." (13)
The initial outbreak of swine flu killed some people, but a contributing cause of many deaths was the impact of poor living conditions, Matthew explains:
"There were more deaths attributed to swine flu in parts of Mexico than elsewhere because, due to substandard living conditions, those people's immune systems were seriously compromised; the outbreak was purposefully initiated in those areas." (14)
Matthew says that the swine-flu vaccine has also been neutralized:
"Let us relieve your concerns about mandatory swine flu vaccinations. If this mandate does come to pass, the effects will be harmless because the live virus in the vaccines has been neutralized by space family members' technology." (15)
And on another occasion:
"The technology of our family in other star nations has neutralized the vaccine that is intended to spread this disease, just as they did to prevent the spreading of SARS and avian flu." (16)
In July of this year, he assured us that, not only was the vaccine rendered harmless, but the microchips in the vaccine were as well.
"Just as in the previous flu situations, the technology of our universal family has neutralized the swine flu virus-laden vaccines and will continue to do so as long as the makers persist in their scheme. And please have no worries about programmed microchips being implanted via inoculations—if that is attempted, the programming will be erased by that same technology." (17)
If we wish to register our dissent from the Illuminatis' plans for the world, then the best way to do so is to refrain from taking the vaccine.
What will be the fate of the dark ones who created and spread this hoped-for pandemic?

Post subject: no knead bread
Hi Christine,
Yes, the recipe is definitely a good one. I already did my 3rd no knead bread and this time I baked it as a ciabatta (double e extra wide slippers)on a pizza stone. i have done conventional ciabattas with kneading, but the amount of knead determines the final product and here you have less variables to deal with.
for naples style pizzas, I will need to change the hydration percentage to around 65 percent, but i don't think this is going to pose a problem. another thing that i might need to change is the yeast percentage (to a lower number) since the room temp fermentation time is so long.
i actually built my own outdoor infrared burner (66,000 btu) pizza oven using refractory bricks with two computer fans under the burners to cool them. the only drawback is that the heat is from the bottom and not from the side and top as in a brick oven. to get around it, i need to heat up the top of the oven first without the pizza stone to get the top hot enough and then heat up the pizza stone. i can get the oven temperature to stabilize around 800 in around 45 minutes and do a 2 min pizza. one of my favorite is a white pizza with re hydrated mission fig, prosciutto and buffalo mozarella (using olive oil to replace tomato sauce).
take care

Post subject: No-knead bread
A very good site with some good discussion about the NKB. I initially misjudged the whole situation and equated no-knead bread with batter bread. It is nothing of the sort and I eat every word I ever said about NKB in the past and I am now stating that the Lahey technique is indeed a very clever technique that deserves the highest praise. My problems actually centered around those ridiculous American volume measures!!
I have developed an Excel spreadsheet, in full working order, stating the actual formula as well as the baker's percentages and the wastage factor that one must consider.
Send me your e-mail address and I will send you a file. It is free as long as you promise to give me your comments on the spreadsheet.
I wil send it as a file, which you then just download.

Post subject: Jeffrey Steingarten "Easy Riser" recipe in Vogue m
Jeffrey Steingarten did an article about the No Knead Bread in Vogue magazine. I highly recommend trying to find that recipe if you can. I have been making the Steingarten no knead for about six months and Prior to Steingarten I was unable to make bread at all due to wrist injuries, but now? I've made hundreds of perfect loaves of bread for friends and family. I'm a believer.

Dude, yeast is so cool! I haven't tried all of them, but I think that, from your reasoning, it would work!!! I have only tried the instant yeast.

Why would you get sick? Was the resulting batter/dough not baked?

Post subject: Dead dough?
Can someone help explain?
I used to be able to make dough with yeast dissolved in warm water first and get good results, but yesterday when I used the same process except that I added 3 tablespoonfuls of flaxseed power mixed in the power and let the well-mixed dough sit for hours in the warm room temperature. At the end of the day, the dough refused to rise. It remained dead dough. I hated to throw the dough away and therefore had to make pancakes out of it. It turned out to be good, but I didn't understand why it didn't rise at all.
What went wrong? The flaxseed or dead yeast?

I've never heard anything about flax products doing in a bread dough - it's pretty commonly used.
yeast can die / go bad - actually that's one of the benefits of blooming the yeast in warm water - if it bubbles&foams up, you know it is still alive and kicking. no foam, not good to use . . . did you perchance notice?
other oddities - water mix too hot - too hot will kill the yeast.
salt - salt can inhibit yeast - generally not added to the water/yeast directly.

Post subject: yeast in gluten-free bread
I have celiac disease and bake all my own bread using a variety of flours (rice, bean, sorgum, etc). I had been using Fleischman's Active dry(from a jar), and make all bread in a machine. Recently, I picked up a jar of Red Star dry active yeast instead & began having problems with the bread "falling" in the middle (Gluten free bread never has a nice rounded top but it isn't supposed to sink in the middle, either). A loaf made with my remaining Fleishman's didn't do that. Comparing the labels I see Red Star contains Sorbian Monostearate. Fleishman's doesn't. Since everything else is equal (same machine, brands of flour, etc), could that additive be affecting the rise or strength of the yeast? But I'm really curious about that additive, since my impression is it "speeds up" the yeast so maybe it's exhausting itself too soon? Cejay

Post subject: Fresh yeast ?
Help, I have been living in US for four days and have an old recipe from back home in UK. Where can I obtain fresh yeast as the recipe for a fruit loaf for Diabetics says you must use fresh yeast. Any ideas where it is available.

many grocery stores will have it - it's typically in the dairy refrigerated section but frequently there's more than one refrigerated case so you may find it quickest to ask.

Post subject: Yeast versus Mold
Not to nitpick, but as this is Cooking for Engineers, a degree of precision seems necessary.
You said:
...are many other species of yeast that are found everywhere including the ones that grow as mold (yeasts are actually a type of mold) on food left out too long...
This is incorrect. Yeasts are fungi. Molds are also fungi. But yeasts are not molds and vice-versa.
Molds grow in multi-cell filament-like structures called hyphae. That is what makes most of them look furry or fuzzy. Yeasts, on the other hand, grow as single cells sort of like bacteria do.

You are completely correct! I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote that sentence... just reading it again was enough for me to go "what? why did I say that?" I've removed the incorrect line from the article. Thanks for letting me know and reducing the errors on CFE!

I was wondering if there is a certain kind of yeast to use when you make pizza that doesn't rise after the pizza dough is in the fridge in the pizza pan.

Nearly two years have passed since a Fair Lakes man was found murdered in his home. But last week in Fairfax County Circuit Court, a Florida man pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in connection with that crime.
THE VICTIM was Richard Gluckstern, 46, of the 12100 block of Elm Forest Way, near the county Government Center. The man taking responsibility for his death is Jason Edward Lee, 26, of Ocala, Fla.
Actually, authorities here didn't find out about the homicide until a few days after it happened. Unable to reach her son, Gluckstern's mother contacted Fairfax County police, June 14, 2005, to check on her son's welfare.
But when police went to his apartment, they found him dead of an apparent asphyxiation and believed he'd been murdered some time on June 11. There was no evidence of a break-in or forced entry, and police investigated the possibility that Lee and Gluckstern knew each other.
Gluckstern worked for Freddie Mac, and Del Ward — a close friend and co-worker of his — said police told him Gluckstern and Lee had met at a county fair. Ward said that, in the weeks before his death, Gluckstern had been "trying to be less introverted and more involved" with others and might have become friends with Lee against his better judgment.
CO-WORKERS described Gluckstern as friendly, amiable and helpful, with a quick wit and a penchant for puns. He worked at the computer help desk and was well-liked at Freddie Mac, so his murder came as a shock to people there.
On June 13, 2005, sheriff's deputies in Marion County, Fla., arrested Lee for violating his probation on burglary and grand-theft convictions. And when they did so, they found personal items belonging to Gluckstern in Lee's possession. Deputies then notified Fairfax County police and ultimately turned over the case to authorities here.
A week later, on June 20, 2005, a Fairfax County grand jury indicted Lee on one count of first-degree murder, two counts of grand larceny and one count of credit-card theft. The Florida man was charged with swiping Gluckstern's Compaq laptop computer — registered to Freddie Mac, his Visa credit card and his 1994 Honda.
After that, however, the wheels in this case all but ground to a halt while Lee answered to the Florida justice system. On Jan. 4, 2006, Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Robert Horan explained, "He's serving time in Florida for a probation violation. And as soon as his time is over, we'll bring him up here."
FINALLY, in June 2006, Lee was extradited here from Florida. He was initially slated for an Oct. 16, 2006 jury trial, but it was continued until May 7 of this year.
Then, in a surprise move, he pleaded guilty last Tuesday, April 24, in Circuit Court. At that time, all but the murder charge against him was dropped — and that was amended to the lesser offense of second-degree murder.
Before accepting his plea, Judge Charles Maxfield made sure Lee understood that, by pleading guilty, he gave up his right to a trial where he could confront any witnesses against him. He also made certain that Lee was entering his plea freely and voluntarily and because he was, in fact, guilty of the crime of which he's accused.
Maxfield set Lee's sentencing for June 22. The prosecutor, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Ian Rodway, said second-degree murder is punishable by anywhere from five to 40 years in prison. And in this case, he added, the attorneys involved have made "no agreement on [Lee's] sentence."
Reporter Lea Mae Rice contributed to this story.

|Me and my mom
|Competing in a giant slalom race at Copper Mountain
|Me and my husband Rob on our wedding day
|Rob and I on the podium at the Vancover 2010 Paralympic Winter
My life has been made up of constant challenges and it has not been an easy journey.At the age of 13 I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa. I have lost most usable vision over the years. There are blind spots in my central vision, and my peripheral vision is closing into my central vision. I have no detailed vision. Eventually I will have complete darkness.
Growing up I felt like a complete outcast. Being disabled was not socially acceptable then. I tried to hide my visual disability by portraying myself to be clumsy, not paying attention, and acting like I could laugh it off. When really I was running into things, people, and had so much trouble seeing. I tried to get involved in sports but obviously I was not the best kid on the team.
I was so lucky to have my family and a few really close friends by my side.
Twelve years ago I was in a horrible place in life; a place I do not hope for anyone to be in. I was severely depressed and I no longer wanted to live my life.
My best friend in life, who was always there for me, and always gave me hope, my Mommy, died of cancer. She was gone and I wanted to be with her. I felt like I had no one to turn to, nowhere to go, and there was no way out.
I lost my mom, sight, and will to live.
I stayed in this terrible state of mind for way too long. During this time my eyes continued to deteriorate. I truly believed that blind people could not do or be anything. They were doomed to the life of a couch potato.
My dad called me one day and said, "We are going skiing." What? Let me remind you I am going blind. He explained how it works. He was going to guide me down the mountain and he would be my eyes. A month later we were in northern New Mexico, skiing down the slopes.
Skiing transformed my life. Skiing gave me freedom; freedom from all I knew and freedom to want more. I went from a coach potato to a ski bum.
I began my new life – training to overcome my disability and focus on all my abilities. Life just kept giving back.
I moved to the mountains so I could ski all the time. I met my soul mate Rob.
We moved to Park City, Utah, and later we got married at the top of the mountain, and skied down in our wedding clothes.
In 2006 my new focus began, I wanted to be a visually impaired ski racer. I had a Vision4Gold. I trained every day at Park City Mountain Resort with my friend and guide Sally. We skied amazing together and made a great team.
I was determined to represent USA at the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games. The summer of 2008 Rob started to guide me full-time. Who better to trust and spend all my time with? We made commitment to the sport, to each other, and to my "vision." Together we formed Team Vision4Gold.
We raced our way onto the national team, and competed in our first World Cup at the World Cup Finals in 2009. We won three bronze medals and this energy just fueled our passion for more.
In 2010 we raced the entire World Cup circuit. We won the Women's Overall World Cup globe, and the super G globe. (Globes are awarded to the top person in the standings for the season.)
Team Vision4Gold then went on to the Paralympics as first husband and wife visually impaired ski race team to represent USA in the Winter Games. We qualified and raced in all five events. Best of all we brought home two bronze medals.
Today Team Vision4Gold is competing at the World Cup level and preparing for the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.
I think back to where my life might have been if my dad did not take me skiing. Would I have found my inner champion?

Apex Yorke/Upper Nth necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 28 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
Apex Outback Postie Bike Ride
Apex is an Australian Service Club similar to Rotary. The Apex Outback Postie Bike Ride is a unique fundraising concept that has been running for 2 years. The ride covers 1,100 Kilometres (684 miles) over 4 days from Port Augusta - Roxby Downs -Mulgaria Track - Leigh Creek - Arkaroola - Blinman - Wilpena Pond - Port Augusta. The ride is off road, over dirt, creek beds and bush tracks through South Australia's outback and Flinders Rangers. The uniqueness comes from having to ride a Honda CT110 "Postie Bike" motorbike. Which is a light weight 110cc, 4 stroke motor bike which is prodominately used in Australia by the mailmen to deliver mail. Maximum speed approx 70kph (43mph) Please view this link to see television coverage of 2008 event which gives a fantastic understanding of the unique challange & fun of the ride. http://ten.com.au/video-player.htm?…tVideoLink
All riders are required to raise $500 to be able to participate in the ride. These funds go to Childhood Cancer Association "Bradley Place" Which is a rural retreat located in the coastal town of Victor Harbour in South Australia where families who have been touched by childhood cancer can go for a free holiday to relax and have an enjoyable time building precious positive family memories.
There are 3 types of target audience that this event appeals to. Firstly the motor bike enthusiast who is motivated by the challenge and mateship of riding a light weight motorbike over some of the harshest, most scenic country in Australia. Secondly people who are motivated to become involved purely to raise funds for the Childhood Cancer. The third group have seen the concept and just want to be involved because it looks so unique & is a fantastically enjoyable once in a lifetime experience. The slogan for the ride is "Are you MAIL enough to ride a Postie"
We are looking for a bold logo which includes an image of a Honda CT110 "postie bike" with a rider. The name Apex Outback Postie Bike Ride needs to be incorporated into the logo. The logo needs to not be to busy as it will be required to be embroidered onto shirts.

I don't often do buttercream cakes. People tend to like the clean lines and smooth finish of sugarpaste, but there are some cakes that are beautiful in buttercream, and unusually I had two last week. One of them was buttercream ruffles. Like any other technique and medium, the more practice you get, the better you get at piping buttercream and getting the effect you want, so I did a practice cake earlier in the week. I have done a buttercream ruffle cake before, waaaaay back when when I was a hobby cake maker novice, and I was going for a slightly more polished effect than that early stumbling-around-in-the-dark effort. So I did a practice cake. I was glad I did, as I got to figure out my technique, how to hold the bag, which direction to pipe in, how to move the bag to get the ruffles ruffley (yes, that's a word), and it was a good warm up for the muscles. Piping uses muscles. You find hand and forearm muscles that you never knew existed once you have ruffle-piped your way around a 10″ cake. But its worth it. And it looked awesome, so I'm smiling 🙂
Number two was a buttercream swirl cake, in shades of yellow, for a golden wedding anniversary. I was alightly worried that the effect would be a bit garish, having only done the piped graduated swirls in pink before, but the yellow worked really well. It wasn't glaringly, hurting-your-eyes bright and the recipient was all smiles when I dropped it off so it was a good day, despite the 2nd good hand/forearm workout 🙂
I also did a photo 50th cake this week. I don't normally warm to photos on cakes. I know they make a cake completely personal, but sometimes they can look a bit… simple…cheap… I don't know. I'm not a huge fan. But this one was a bit different. It was a cake for a lady's 50th, and the photo was of her as a baby with who I assume are siblings. I printed off the photo in the original sepia-type colouring, and framed the corners with peach flowers. I don't know why I chose peach, I just thought it would work, and it did, really well 🙂 And peach made a wonderful change from pink. Sometimes I get pinked out. This time I was peachy-keen 🙂 hehehehehe I crack me up 🙂 Its late. Humour me ok?
Happy Monday, have an awesome week, and happy baking xxx
