FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 29, 2010 – Canadian singer/songwriter Cat Forsley has decided to donate a percentage of sales revenue from her latest EP ‘Unconditional’ and her new audio book ‘All Love &’ to CNIB. CNIB provides community-based support, knowledge and a national voice to ensure Canadians who are blind or partially sighted have the confidence, skills and opportunities to fully participate in life.

Cat Forsley, who was born with a genetic vision disability, became a member of the organization last year. She has struggled with limited vision her entire life, but has adapted and overcome the challenges associated with blindness, and she wishes to become a champion for people with vision loss. “CNIB is a fantastic organization and I’m very passionate about bringing awareness, financial support, and hope to the many members who receive assistance from CNIB. My dream is to become a spokesperson and to become more involved with their outreach programs that involve music”, Says Forsley.

One of the many CNIB programs that caught Cat’s attention is ‘The i Factor contest’, which involves musicians and singers with vision loss from across Canada. Ten finalists will participate in professional training sessions and compete for a spot in the spectacular live finale in Toronto, Ontario.

Cat signed a multi-year, multi-album deal with Bombardier Records in 2010 and her latest EP is being distributed worldwide. Chris Gardner, President of Bombardier Records said “We are extremely pleased to be donating to CNIB and fully support Cat’s involvement with this great organization.”

Ratner's Cheesecake

Here's another recipe from Toby! Thanks Toby......and I'll get the others posted soon! Ratner's Cheesecake and plain cookies Ratner's was a Jewish dairy restaurant in the lower East Side of Manhattan. This recipe, from my disintegrating, no longer in print Ratner's cookbook, is the closest I've ever gotten to reproducing the rich, heavy cheesecake my mother made when I was a kid. It's worth the time it takes to prepare and every last calorie. Dough Can be prepared in advance. Makes enough for two cakes. Can be frozen or used to make cookies – see recipe below. 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup shortening 1 teaspoon lemon extract 1 cup butter 2 eggs 3 cups sifted cake flour ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1.

The next generation with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome

I'm so behind on posting about the trip to Puerto Rico. Since the episode of Mystery Diagnosis on Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome ran right after we got home, it's been a little busy. These, however, are my favorite pictures from Puerto Rico. I know, not pretty senery etc - but these little guys and gals inspire me. They are the next generation of folks with HPS, and if we keep up the hard work, they will live better lives because of it. They motivate me.

Help for one of our newest HPS friends

As many of you know, I have a google alert set up for all sorts of key terms like albinism, pulmonary fibrosis etc. The following was posted on the blog of a friend of Melanie's. Melanie is one of our newest members of the Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome family. Unfortunately, like so many she didn't know she had HPS and the lung disease sort of snuck up on her. Melanie will be 26 years old next week. Perhaps some of us would like to contribute to the fund set up to help her and her family for her birthday. Here's the post: Melanie Hernandez, beloved sister and daughter to Pete, Monique, Cookie, and Bugie, has been diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, a lung disease occurring in people with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome, a very rare disease.Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (“HPS”) is a genetic metabolic disorder.
