I would think New Jersey would be at the top of the list. I bought a sad and ugly fixer upper for $105,000 in Dec 2010. Imagine my surprise when Weichert realtors advised me that my closing costs were almost $7,000!!!!! on a $105,000 house. In order to pay that, I had to pay an additional 5,000 for the dump, making the house $110,000 instead of $105,000 to roll in some of the closing costs. It is absolutely astonishing to me that a house costing $105,000 could possibly have closing costs of almost $7,000!!!!

Down payment, mortgage insurance, home owners insurance, property taxes, and any previous outstanding debt and bills needs to be factored in and it certainly wasn't. People who believes in the article's figures are ones that will be foreclosed against several years later. If I didn't know better, i would simply blame the writer of the article to the cause of the housing market several years back.

I would think that my home state of California would rate as one of the highest. People are always complaining about housing prices being so high. The only people who can afford homes out here are doctors, lawyers, and movie stars like Brad Pitt. Your average worker can't afford a basic house. Even if your lucky enough to have a good paying job.

There may not have been any real competition for the fifth starter's job when spring training stated, but there is now. Jamie Moyer is going to pitch better than he has or Kendrick is going to pitch worse — both those things are likely, but if neither of them happens I think it's Kendrick that's in the rotation to start the season. There's no question that Kendrick has been better than Moyer in the past few weeks, but I thought it was worth a minute to make sure that Moyer has been better than Kendrick over the last couple of years. He has. Here's what both have done for the Phillies over the past three seasons:
You also have to consider the contributions that Moyer has given the Phillies in big games. The most notable of those in recent history was game three of the 2008 World Series, but there have been others. Kendrick's biggest spot came in his start of game two of the NLDS against the Rockies in 2007 and he allowed five runs over 3 2/3 innings.
Moyer has also pitched deeper into games in his starts than Kendrick has. Moyer has gone an average of about 5.92 innings per start of his 91 starts for the Phils in the last three years. Kendrick has gone an average of about 5.52 over his 52 starts.
It's also not like Kendrick hasn't gotten a chance. He has. He made 30 starts and 31 appearances in 2008 and was just about as awful as you can be if you're not a big name closer who won the World Series the previous season, throwing 155 2/3 innings with a 5.49 ERA and a 1.61 ratio.
The Phillies beat the Pirates 5-1 yesterday. Roy Halladay provided still more fantastic starting pitching, allowing a run over five innings to raise his spring ERA to 0.90. David Herndon, Chad Durbin and Ehren Wassermann followed Halladay and combined to allow one single over four scoreless innings. Cody Ransom hit yet another home run. Howard, Werth and Ruiz all had two hits.
Jamie Moyer was hit hard in a B game yesterday, allowing five runs in three innings.
Polanco sprained his right knee in yesterday's game. He says he might miss two or three days, which surely can't help his efforts to get comfortable playing third.
Mike Zagurski threw two scoreless innings in a B game yesterday. I still would guess he's an extreme long shot to start the team, even if Bastardo and Escalona continue to struggle.

I wanna hear your favorite hiney exercises...I need ideas beyond lunges, squats and deads
Ok...so after a month of disarray i'm gonna give this a go again
yesterday my diet was nailed..and I was rewarded by being down two lbs this morning. This is no surprise because I haven't done shit and have been eating pure junk for the last month. Luckily my body comp isn't too wildly different.
so I'm sitting at 170 lbs for the start of this log.
last nights workout
22kg kettlebell (2) split squats 3x12..crippling, my left leg is really weak and lacking appropriate balance
prone hamstring curls 40lbs- 3x15
pre-loaded straight barbell curtsy lunges 40lbs 3x20
smith stationary lunges 2x25 lb plates 3x20
some floor work stuff involving medicine balls thats really core work more than anything ..don't know the names of any of it..and it would take too long to explain.
35min spin bike intervals
gym was really packed with dickheads last night including this new douche that sits and chats with bros IN the good squat rack..I'd like to kick his face
douche dude decided to throw a medicine ball at the ball over where I was stretching out on the floor..Im not even making this up. I hate this guy.
I honestly could barely walk or breathe after this work out ..and had a srsly hard time driving my jeep home
not using any gears at the moment..on my scripted dose of thyroid meds
this will change once I hit a certain bf. I want to make a wild diff over the next 8 weeks.
On board.....
I like doing pull throughs on the cables with a rope, squeeze butt hard at the top:
Also Cable Kickbacks:
Reverse Hypers (if you don't have the machine at your gym, which I don't do this):
Not the greatest examples, but is what i found in just a few minutes to demonstrate...
mmm your going to make your ass better? if possible... Im excited for status pics
Damn keeping it going..Go for it.
?This message was sent using true power!!!
last night I had the worst workout ever because of a 16 yr old girl tag along that weighs about 90 lbs and complains a lot..'
so, I didn't log that...but I did some shoulder and bicep stuff to keep from going nuts
today I did
30 min ss on the bike
iso lat rows 3x15 45lb plate each side
reverse pec dec 4x10 75lbs
kayak rows 3x15 30lbs
DB rows 3x5 30lbs
tbar rows 4x12 45lb plate
glute raises on the ball...
the end
diet on point
Shoes shopping at nordis in case anyone is interested..
Also.. 168 lbs this morning .so diet is kicking in well again
^^ lmao! Nudes Sheri, nudes.
Btw I like the purple heels
TheCaptn' is not a registered proctologist. His post are for his amusement only. Please seek proper medical advice if symptoms persist.
So originally $500 for the pradas...that would be a pretty nice cycle right there!
i might be the only guy that doesnt like high heels, but subd either way
having abs because you are skinny is like a women having tits because she's fat
Sheri best booty builders are SLDL, RDL, glute bridge and hip thrusts, cable kick backs and Goblet Squats (go super heavy with these), just got figure out how to hold DB's over 80lbs lol. Tricky stuff

Can you post a pic that at least makes me think I'm looking at a female. And wow, you've got some mits! Holy bananas. For some reason I feel like I'm lookin at a crossdressing dude trying on womens shoes at the store. Nothing feminine about these pictures at all.

Recent Clearwater Beach Reviews
Lovely townhome in perfect location
This townhouse is situated a 5 min walk to the perfect Clearwater beach and backs directly onto the waterway. I could have happily sat watching the waterway all week and not gone anywhere, but the beach lured us out on several occasions. We saw a dolphin on the waterway which was a real thrill and some beautiful big waterbirds, plus the odd boat going by. We found the weather so hot that we ventured out morning and evening - the sea is amazing to swim, so warm, with a bit of chop to it for excitement - and lovely to be in if you get rain! We cooked in most days as the kitchen was just like home. The master bedroom suite is amazing, really spacious and luxurious; with the other two bedrooms fine for size. Table tennis table in the garage was good for my older sons and we all enjoyed the outdoor pool which we practically had to ourselves every day and was spotlessly clean. We ventured to Honeymoon Island to gather shells one day which I'd recommend as a slightly different beach to Clearwater to see. I'd recommend as a great place to stay.
EXCELLENT! As advertised
This is a very well maintained and organized townhouse. Everything is as advertised. Location is great, roof top terrace with grill and hot tub offered spectacular view of the Gulf of Mexico and the Intra-Coastal Water Ways. Owner was very easy to deal with and responded to the only inquiry that came up (minor issue with gas grill that he resolved). Unit is clean and accommodations are excellent. Much to do close by, plenty of eateries and shops as well. Could easily park the car the entire stay if you desired. I would absolutely go back again and would recommend it to anyone looking.
Great time!!
Had a wonderful time with multi-generational family gathering! Everything was as presented and the location was outstanding! Owners were great to work with!

That Starbucks around the corner can mean big savings for federal
agencies seeking to provide virtual workplaces for their employees, especially
those who travel long distances between a job site and the office.
Labor Department, NASA, and the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) are spending on mobile gear to
allow workers to move to telework – with savings potentially in the
millions, reports the Federal Times.
For example, DCMA plans to save $5 million by 2014 by

FootJoy player Ryuji Imada claimed his first PGA TOUR victory Sunday, winning the AT&T Classic with a par on the first playoff hole after his opponent hit his approach in the pond fronting the 18th green. It was a complete turnaround from last year at the same tournament when Imada got into a playoff with Zach Johnson at the TPC Sugarloaf, only to lose when he knocked his second shot into the same pond (43 balls found the pond this week). Imada has been a runner-up three times on the PGA TOUR, including earlier this season at the Buick Invitational and the PODS Championship.
Imada, who wore a pair of black Classics Dry Premiere during the final round, needed a birdie on the 72nd hole in regulation just to get in the playoff. Trailing by a stroke, he was right of the green on his second shot with a 3-wood, but chipped up to 4 feet and made the putt for a 5-under 67. Imada averaged 27.25 putts per round this week, the best among all the players.
A native of Japan, Imada had plenty of fans cheering him on at TPC Sugarloaf; he attended the nearby University of Georgia. As he walked off the green after his winning putt, a few fans woofed it up. He's certain to receive another warm welcome when he returns to the area about a year from now...not only to defend his first Tour victory but when he walks to the first tee at Augusta National for the first time.
"I know I get invited to the Masters now," he said, breaking into a big smile. "I always dreamed of playing there since I was a kid. I can't wait to see what it's like."

The European Tour is at the Irish Open this week and we sent a couple of our local sales reps out to play in the Pro-Am. Read their personal tales of playing a Tour-caliber course with Swede, Pelle Edberg. Pelle, known for his signature headband and for a pre-shot habit of licking his right pinkie finger, was a great teammate for the guys! More players are wearing FootJoy golf shoes (69%) at the Irish Open than all other brands combined.
Team FootJoy got a taste of life on tour Wednesday when Stuart, Adrian and Keith from the Acushnet Company Ireland office played in the Pro-Am before the Irish Open at Adare Manor. Our Professional was Pelle Edberg from Sweden, easily recognizable as he wears a large headband every time he plays. We were all smartly turned out in new DryJoys P.O.D.S. (Stuart and Adrian), while Keith was a little more adventurous in a pair of Ian Poulter-esque purple and white Classics. Pelle was more conservative in his white Classics...not often the Irish outdo the Swedes in the fashion department!
The format for the Pro-Am is the best single net score of the four players, which wasn't good news for a team whose handicaps are scratch, 3 and 6. However we did O.K., Adrian making a fantastic birdie 2 on the tough par three 16th, Stuart hitting the longest drive of the day on the 9th (a mere 310 yards) and Keith holing a ridiculous 40 foot putt on the 18th hole which was going into the river if it had missed. We finished in the middle of the pack with a 66, 6 shots behind the winners, but pretty good for three guys who work as hard as we do to get around the course. Pelle was great to play with, very helpful and keen to learn more about our shoes and gloves. His wedge play in particular was excellent, and it can only be a matter of time before he wins on tour.
After the game, we spent time on the range with our Tour team, congratulating the recent Irish Tour winners Peter Lawrie, Damian Mc Grane and Graeme McDowell, and catching up with the many Irish caddies, journalists and officials who are very much part of the European Tour circus. We also helped out our Club Professionals who are playing this week, making sure they had enough gloves, shoes and balls for the tournament.
We really enjoyed our day on tour, it was fantastic to experience a European Tour event from inside the ropes, and great to rub shoulders with some of the worlds finest players. Wonder who we will draw next year!
An absolutely fantastic day out on a magnificent golf course! Pelle was an excellent pro to be paired with and I think was quite glad to have a pro-am team that could hit it forward and in the air at the same time!! The course was in superb condition with the greens rolling extremely fast. It certainly took us all a little time to adjust from the green speed we would be used to. Great to get access to the tour truck and practice area and get a chance to see close up what goes on at a tour event. One thing which Pelle did mention which I was amazed with was that he uses an average of 9 balls per round!!
I would say the best hole is the 18th - par 5 over water but the fun really begins when you start navigating all the slopes on the green (as I found out). Probably the toughest hole for the pros will be the pa- 3 11th (at around 230 yds into a narrow green). The rough is also long and very difficult to control the ball from, so I think this weeks winner will have to be very straight off the tee with a silky putting stroke!! ( Really no different to any other week!)
Overall, it was an incredible experience. Something I will remember for a long time!
We caught up with several FootJoy players recently to ask them about their overall style and how their FootJoy shoes reflect that style. As you can imagine, we heard some very entertaining responses!
Very unique situation on the Nationwide Tour this week at the BMW Charity Pro-Am. Not only are the pros joined by a large number of stars from sports and entertainment, but the tournament is actually played in two states - North and South Carolina. While Thornblade Club (Greer, SC) is the base of activity, the contestants also play at The Carolina Country Club (Spartanburg, SC) and Bright's Creek Golf Club in Mill Springs, NC. Onsite this week we had Drew Morris in the locker room and Bill Hughes, Lee Oyer and Greg Shaw in the Tour Van. Julian Taylor, the local Titleist/FootJoy Sales Rep, was also onsite to lend a hand.

Little bites of lessons are so much easier to digest. I've followed this idea through all of our homeschooling journey, and it's always worked.

What a wonderful post. Yes, mother culture is what refreshes mothers and gives that sence of peace and calm in the home. Mothers truly do set the tone for the home.
I am so thankful the my friend Amanda told me about your blog. We both discuss your book The Charlotte Mason Companion at length. This book has truly changed the way I homeschool! It has also affected other areas of my life as well.
I also love your book Pocketful of Pinecones. I recommend your books to every homeschool mom I meet.

Karen, Thank-you for this most lovely posting.The sampler is beautiful,your placement of it, so at home.Love your basket of needful items, I too have taken to bringing my basket along with me on my journeys. Do hope all is well with your loved ones. Sometimes just having along the things of comfort from our homes, somehow lends a certain kind of peace, even at stress filled moments.Hubby and I along with our married daughter who was visiting this week with our dear grandson, watched Enchanted April.It was a real find. Thanks for suggesting it .Just got Charlotte Masons Companion book so that I may try my hand at that shawl, and the Victorian Lace pattern as well. Many blessings to you and yours, Dawn E. Brown

Yes, yes, yes!
The short lessons, are a delight to the children, and allow them to not feel their lessons are a drudgery. Keeps them interested.
My heart is always so sad when I talk to mothers of young children who are having them do 45 minutes to 1 hour for lessons...they are all going to burn out!

I just read Jane Eyre for the first time a few months ago (with four little ones at home it took me a few months to get through it). I LOVED it!! It is now my favorite book ever and I have read quite a few books in my time. Your sampler is fabulous and such a great reminder of the truths Miss Eyre lived by in the book.

Wow, Mrs. Karen, just wow.
I came to your blog by way of a friend, and I am so glad I did. One word stuck out at me in this post: Trust.
I have read some on Miss Mason and her ideas. I have followed blogs. I have made lists and lists of lists. I have read books, several by your own pen. I have talked, questioned, listened. And yet. Oh, and yet. I continued to go my own way, make my own path, with cobblestones marked as Overwhelm, Confusion, Frustration, and Defeat. It all comes down to trust, doesn't it?
I came here, not sure what to expect, and received a blessing. thank you, Mrs. Karen, thank you!

Thank you for stopping by. I'm always happy to hear that you appreciate the ideas I share here or that you are reading my books.
Your sewing blog is darling. I was touched that you, too, just finished reading Jane Eyre. Aren't there gems in Jane Eyre? "A little at a time" is how I also read it - like getting through a box of chocolates.
We blog to know we are not alone. This is my twist on what C. S. Lewis said about reading. Thank you for sharing that you also liked the film Enchanted April.
I remember the anxiety I experienced in home teaching. It seemed that with each passing year I was walking on new ground as my children grew. Fresh readings of Miss Mason's practical wisdom helped me take positive steps that brought me down a path with trust. She had great insight into how children learn while considering the teacher's feelings and limited energy in the mix.

Like you, I also do inch by inch when it comes to knitting or embroidering. Sewing is something I try to do in large blocks of time.
My boys have been learning the CM way for over 4 years now. They are older, so their responsibilities are less for me. They basically teach themselves at this stage. So I am able to do a bit more of my crafts and take care of my home without too much fuzz.
Thank you for this post...I am enjoying reading all your past ones. :-D

OK.. I didn't get pulled over. But I did get a new plate for the Jeep. It was a toss up.. AIRMAN, AV8TRW8, AIRMNW8.. I just went with AIRMAN. I feel complete now.
One thought on "That's "Airman" Waite to You… Officer."
Haha…you gotta video tape it next time you get pulled over and correct the guy. I want to see/hear his response to "Excuse, that's AIRMAN Waite to you you ground pound'n-licensed only to drive a car that can't leave the ground- police officer."

Tweak it to fit your family as I do mine! Enjoy with confectioners' sugar on top or cream cheese frosting!"

2 cups
white sugar
1 1/2 cups
2 cups
pumpkin puree
eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons
baking powder
2 teaspoons
baking soda
2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon
ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon
ground mace
1/2 cup
chopped walnuts
1/2 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
3 cups
all-purpose flour
1/4 cup
confectioners' sugar
This was a hit! Moist and light, with a sweet and spicy flavor :) I left out the mace, chocolate, and confectioners' sugar, and used a 2 quart baking dish (9 x 13 inch pan).
Made half the recipe and used half splenda. Turned out perfectly as muffins. Pumpkn pie lke spice flavor and moist, not gooey.

This was very easy and very good. I followed the recipe, except that I did not have mace but instead used 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon allspice. I added the optional chocolate chips but next time I would probably leave those out, just my personal preference. By all means give this recipe a try. The measurements and cooking time were spot on. Thanks Virginia Ann for sharing your recipe.
This bread turned out great but the texture was much different from my recipe with oil. A hidden benefit of the gummier texture was that my 3 year old didn't get crumbs everywhere. It was really good, just different. I would make it again.
This pumpkin bread is super delicious! I used buckwheat flour and flax meal instead of all purpose flour, and added craisins and pumkin seeds instead of choco chips and walnuts. My only advice would be to scale back on the sugar... it came out REALLY sweet.
Delicious, moist and didn't last!!! I ended up making 3 batches because it never would have made it to our Easter gathering. I thought I would try this for a change from pumpkin pie this Easter. Everyone Loved it. I wasn't sure at first about adding the semisweet chips but my daughter insisted and the little hint of chips was prefect. I left out the walnuts. I didn't have any ginger, clove or mace in the cupboard so I substituted for 2tsp of pumpkin pie spice. I am going to make it again this weekend for an other dinner gathering.
Easy and tasty
So moist and delicious. And this coming from someone who doesn't normally like pumpkin. Had lots of people ask for the recipe.

Oh so that's what Google Plus is for. Graphicly Edition
Rich Barrett has started a very interesting discussion about the latest changes over at Graphicly. I've said nice things about Graphicly before, they were always a pleasure to work with and a great resource for independent comic creators. After yesterday's discussion though, that has only been reenforced. Micah Baldwin, the CEO, made an appearance to answer some of our questions and agree or disagree with the new approach, you have to respect that kind of openness.
As for me, the bulk of my worries were addressed, mostly that the fee of $150 is really only applied to distribution over the various storefronts like Nook and iBooks. The web and Facebook reader distribution is still free. Which means creators can still use Graphicly as part of their greater overall distribution system, but they do not need to spend $150 per release.
This is definitely a relief. You can release individual issues for free and when the time is right to collect them and sell those editions via the different readers. Collecting them allows you to set a higher price point and reduces the number of sales necessary before you break even.
All in all though, I still am very concerned with the direction digital comics have taken. I do not like the idea that people are flocking to ComiXology and throwing lots and lots of money at books they don't actually own. Books that can't be downloaded and opened on another reading device.
No one knows what the future will bring. While unlikely, it is possible ComiXology could change its approach. Or it could be bought by another company. Things can change and now you've either lost that content, or your rights have been transferred to another corporation who may not have your best interests in mind. We as consumers are readily giving away our rights.
That said. I certainly like the app. The reader and store front is nicely designed. In fact I buy most of my comics from them. You sort of have to as they have struck deals with nearly every major publisher. I would be lying if I said I wouldn't gladly have any of my books added to their catalog. But I still think the reader needs the ability to import/export files and to read formats aside from their own proprietary one. Something more akin to iTunes with its ability to play MP3s as well as AAC files.
I mentioned in the thread that I was hoping Graphicly would have made their comic format open source. I was very happy to see that Micah mentioned this might be a possibility and was being discussed. I really hope this becomes a reality. By allowing anyone to develop an iOS reader would only mean more innovation as ideas are iterated upon. Refined. Similar to what we saw with Twitter.
Anyway, I encourage you to stop by the thread. You could learn a lot. I know I did.

Circuit Breaker Safety
If your outage is due to a circuit breaker trip, follow these tips to safely restore your power:
Turn off lights and unplug appliances in the rooms that have lost power.
Find your circuit breaker box and open the cover.
Locate the tripped breaker, usually a horizontal switch marked by the area of the house it serves in the OFF position.
Reset the breaker by moving the switch to the full OFF position and then moving it back to the ON position. If the breaker re-trips, you may have faulty appliances or wiring. Contact an electrician to identify and fix the problem before resetting the breaker.
If you have an older home and are still using a fuse box circuit breaker, it may be wise to replace the entire breaker system. This type of breaker system is outdated, and the fuses are often difficult to replace.

Having your identity stolen can be disorienting, but if it happens you need to take action quickly. Here's what you can do to protect your information:
First, call any banks where the thief opened accounts and let them know it is not you.
Then, call every one of your banks and credit card companies to have your accounts frozen.
Contact all three credit bureau's, Transunion, Experian and Equifax, to put a fraud alert on your file and request a free copy of your credit report to see if anything was opened in your name. If there is anything you didn't authorize on any of those accounts, dispute it.
Call the Social Security Administration by phone or visit a local office and take pertinent info with you to prove you are you.
Contact the Federal Trade Commission by phone or web and file an identity theft affidavit. It's a form where you provide all your personal information and documentation, plus details of the theft. Then, take that form and file a police report with the city you live. If you know where you last had your ID, file one in that city, too.

Inside Wall Street: Is Amylin a buyout target?
The company is seen as the next likely candidate in the biotech sector's takeover hit parade.
Recent buyouts have invigorated the biotechnology industry, and the predictable question is which company is the next likely target?
Amgen's (AMGN) acquisition of Micromet (MITI) for $1.61 billion, along with Celgene's (CELG) purchase of privately held Avila Therapeutics and Gilead's (GLD) acquisition of Pharmasset, have sparked renewed investor interest in the biotechs.
As a group, they have rallied strongly. The BTK Index of biotech stocks climbed a healthy 25% over the past 12 months.
Who's next? Some pros are betting on Amylin Pharmaceuticals (AMLN), which is developing treatments for diabetes and obesity. At the end of January, the Food and Drug Administration approved the company's chief drug, Bydureon, a treatment for type 2 diabetes. This could very well whet the appetite of Big Pharma. The stock quickly popped to $14 from $12 on the news, and then continued to advance further. It closed above $17 on Friday.
Usually, a stock's jump after such positive news gives way to profit-taking, before settling back down a bit. But in Amylin's case, the upward momentum has continued. Why? There was plenty of short-selling in the stock for months before the FDA news. So short-covering decisively drove the stock up. And then there is buyout chatter.
"The FDA's approval of Bydureon makes Amylin an extremely attractive asset for a Big Pharma," says John McCamant, editor of the Medical Technology Stock Letter in San Francisco, who has long been a bull on the stock. "We suspect that potential partners and acquirers are now knocking on Amylin's door to conduct due diligence," he adds.
Bydureon is a longer-acting, once-a-week version of Amylin's diabetes drug Byetta. It is expected to compete with Novo Nordisk's (NVO) Victoza. The longer-lasting duration is enabled by a delivery technology that Alkermes (ALKS) provides for the use of Bydureon. Both Victoza and Bydureon are in the class of diabetic drugs that stimulates the release of insulin when a person's blood sugar gets too high. But Bydureon's big advantage is that diabetes patients only need to inject the drug once a week, compared with daily injections for Victoza, and twice daily ones for Biyetta. The once-a-week dosage could be a major advantage in terms of compliance, notes McCamant.
One factor potential acquirers of Amylin will also focus on is how much revenue such a drug could bring in. Victoza's global yearly sales are currently more than $1 billion, and Byetta's sales totaled $461 million for the first nine months of 2011. Bydureon has attracted some positive comments. The Street.com, for one, described Bydureon as "the most anticipated new drug launch in diabetes."
The approval of Bydureon removes the big risk factor hanging over the drug, which now makes Amylin a logical takeover candidate, says McCamant. Who would be interested? McCamant says his "best guess" is Roche, which discarded its own drug candidate in 2010. However, McCamant makes clear that he doesn't know that any deal is imminent, but other suitors are expected to surface.
McCamant says Amylin has adopted a "very aggressive pricing strategy for Bydureon, charging $323 for a month's supply," which he notes is a significant discount compared to Victoza's $421. McCamant doesn't think Bydureon will cannibalize sales of Byetta because the latter is used in combination with insulin glargine, a specific use for which neither Bydureon nor Victoza are indicated.
Amylin's current advantage over other biotechs is that it has a potentially huge product. Mergers and acquisitions are hot in the biotech sector, says McCamant, who is definitely gung-ho on Amylin.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) -- Fire officials say crews hope to have a wildfire near Prescott fully contained in a day. Officials said late Monday that the 10.5-square-mile Doce Fire in the Prescott National Forest was around 70 percent contained. The blaze cost about $6 million to fight and forced hundreds of residential evacuations, which have since been lifted. The fire began June 18 and has charred dense brush and timber in the Granite Mountain Wilderness. Investigators say the Doce Fire was human-caused, but haven't determined the exact source yet. Granite Basin Road remained closed to the public and can only be accessed by residents with valid identification.

Beauty by the Sea
Once totally destroyed by a nor'easter. Christopher Thurlow's rejuvenated garden represents friendship and hope
The seawall border consists of Fairy Roses, Speedwell and lamb's ears. The yellow plants are daylilies.
Photographs by Hulya Kolobas
(page 1 of 2)
As Christopher Thurlow walks me through her garden on a warm June afternoon, it feels more like the tour of a house. She strides briskly along, snapping off the tip of an overgrown plant, naming each "room" along the way, then describing the purpose it serves. Behind her stretches Long Island Sound, bringing beauty — and plenty of salt spray — to her garden. A native Virginian, Chris learned the art of seaside gardening at her home in Old Greenwich, where she and her husband, Steve, a former NFL football player, raised their two children.
Her garden has many stories to tell, beginning with its rebirth. When a violent nor'easter ripped through the Connecticut coastline on December 11, 1992, five-foot waves crashed into the house and started a flood that reached to the windows. They evacuated that night and lived, for more than a year, in the homes of friends who were away. When they moved back in, the house, which had been raised four feet on their three-quarters of an acre, was sound, but Chris was still heartbroken. The garden was gone.
"I was left with nothing," she told her friend Nancy Altznauer one morning, as she gazed out at the barren land. Though she cleaned bricks from the old chimney and carefully laid them to create a new patio and terraced wall, the garden was empty. A master gardener with a degree in horticulture, Chris was the local gardening expert who always advised neighbors, giving away beautiful plants along with her advice.
Her wise friend Nancy, along with neighbor Sarah Vorder-Bruegge, came up with a plan. They arrived one week later with forty friends in tow, each bearing two plants: one from her own garden — a plant transferred from Chris's garden years ago — and one new specimen. That afternoon, the women planted up a storm, and the memory garden, centered by an ornamental plum tree, was created. It became a spiritual place for Chris, an area where the lineage of her former garden could continue.
"To me, it's the most wonderful thing that ever happened," says Chris. "It marks the rebirth of my garden, and also the rebirth of my soul. It gave me the impetus to build again." Alongside every iris and daylily is a metal garden marker that bears the name of the friend who gave it. "I still remember their faces the day they gave me those plants fourteen years ago," she says. Even though some neighbors have passed away or moved, their plants keep growing, a constant reminder of their friendship.
Continuing her tradition of giving, Chris maintains a community garden near the entrance of her house, a place where neighbors are welcome to arrive at any time, dig up plants and take them home. She constantly replenishes it by thinning out her overgrown plants and transferring them over to be shared. Today, many who visit the community garden are children of the friends who started the memory garden.
Chris relishes the opportunity to launch someone on the path of gardening. Like an old-fashioned doctor, she even makes house calls, diagnosing problems and bringing plants that will thrive in that particular place. "This year I've already been to six of my daughter's friends' homes," she says. "It's a wonderful gift of joy to give."
And when her daughter or son visits, there is a special place for the grandchildren: the children's garden. With six grandchildren under age five who live nearby, Chris (who the kids call Gandy) has frequent pint-sized visitors. They run first to the green bunnies that she sculpted out of boxwood at the garden's entrance. A short path leads them to a bench where stone rabbits await. Behind the bench lies a secret pathway lined with rosebushes, blue hydrangea and two six-foot hibiscus standards — bushes trained to look like small trees — where the children can hide. White trellised arbors frame the garden and a delicate border of lamb's ears trails along the front.

Rent and food costs up, but gas drops in DecemberBy CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
The Associated Press | January 17,2013WASHINGTON Lower gas costs offset more expensive food and higher rents to keep a measure of U.S. consumer prices flat last month.
The Labor Department said Wednesday that food prices increased 0.2 percent in December from November. Rents and airline fares also rose. Gasoline prices fell a seasonally adjusted 2.3 percent.
The flat reading of the December consumer price index caps a year when inflation slowed. Consumer prices rose only 1.7 percent in 2012, down from 3 percent in 2011.
Food prices increased 1.8 percent last year, down from 4.7 percent in 2011. Gas prices rose just 1.7 percent last year. That followed annual gains of nearly 10 percent in 2011 and roughly 14 percent in 2010.
Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices ticked up just 0.1 percent in December compared with November. And core prices rose only 1.9 percent in 2012. Thats below the Federal Reserves inflation target of 2 percent. And its lower than 2011s increase of 2.2 percent.
Prices for household furniture, clothing and used cars declined in December from November.
Mild inflation leaves consumers with more money to spend, which is good for the economy. Lower inflation also makes it easier for the Fed to continue with its efforts to accelerate the economy. If the Fed were worried that prices are rising too fast, it might have to raise interest rates.
With job gains and economic growth steady but modest, many businesses are reluctant to raise prices for fear of losing customers. Thats helped keep inflation tame. Workers also arent able to demand higher wages when growth is weak. That limits their ability to pay more.
Price hikes will likely remain mild, economists say.
It remains our view that core inflation has peaked ... and will continue to drift lower in coming quarters as weak global economic activity weighs on pricing power, Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc., said in a note to clients.
Gas prices have fallen sharply in recent months after spiking this summer. Prices at the pump averaged $3.29 a gallon nationwide on Wednesday. Thats about the same as a month ago and well below summer prices that nearly touched $4 a gallon.
Prices are likely to stay low in the early months of 2013, based on a measure of wholesale prices reported Tuesday.
The producer price index, which measures price changes before they reach the consumer, fell for the third straight month in December. Wholesale food prices dropped by the most in 19 months, largely because of a sharp drop in beef and veal costs. Vegetable and cheese prices also declined.
Not everything was cheaper at the wholesale level. The cost of womens and girls clothes jumped by the most in nine years. Fresh fruit prices also rose.
With inflation tame, the Fed has ramped up its efforts to boost growth. It decided last month to keep buying $85 billion a month in Treasurys and mortgage bonds in an effort to lower borrowing costs and encourage more spending.
The Fed also said last month that it planned to keep its key short-term interest rate at a record low even after unemployment falls to 6.5 percent which it said might take three more years. Unemployment remains high at 7.8 percent.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Worries about the outlook for growth in China and a slide in the price of oil pushed...

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) - An area radio station is holding another event to benefit St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Midwest Communications radio station Great Country 101.9 WDEZ already hosts the St. Jude's radiothon every February, but they're adding a rummage sale this coming Sunday, September 8th.
Morning show host Nikki Montgomery says her partner Bryan Scott came up with idea, and believed it was a great idea. "We decided earlier this year to do a rummage sale for St. Jude's. It's another way for us to keep St. Jude's top of mind in the area, and another way for us to raise money to help the kids."
The rummage sale for St. Jude's will be held in the parking lot of the Midwest Communications Broadcast Centre in Wausau at Sixth and Scott Streets from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
Montgomery says they are still taking donations for the sale, but quite a few items have been donated already. "We've got tons of donations from people, which is fantastic. We've got a big selection of stuff, and now it's just a matter of doing the sale."
Along with the bargains, Crossroads County Market and Marth Wood Shavings have teamed up to provide lunch, with the proceeds going to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
Montgomery says all of the donations will go to a good cause. "100% of the proceeds are going to go to St. Jude. Any leftover items we have are going to go to Goodwill."
Some of the items donated for the St. Jude's Rummage Sale include furniture, books, games, puzzles, toys, some baby and children's clothes, women's clothes, men's clothes, purses and bags, home décor, tools, exercise equipment, glassware, humidifiers, a dehydrator, a new handmade children's picnic table and much more.
If you would like to donate items or have questions about the sale please contact Great Country 101.9 WDEZ by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling (715) 842-1672.

It's great to have the option to extend recording time by adding on to either the beginning or end of a scheduled show, but it would be nice to be able to start a recording late. When the networks play their games of tacking on an extra minute to a show, it totally screws up the recording schedule. The only way around it is to cancel a recording, and set up a manual recording for the channel, starting the time a minute late (or whatever you need). That's cumbersome, and if you wish to make this manual recording a recurring one, you can't because you already have a recording scheduled on that channel during that time. I guess at that point the only option would be to remove the series recording altogether. It would be so much easier if a recording could be set up to start late.
Is it possible to get a response to this?
Any updates on this. I am losing more and more scheduled recordings these days becasue a show is scheduled to run a minute late with two other shows scheduled to record. As the orignal poster has indicated, having to manually record shows when this happens a minute later then scheduled is a pain.

Artist to Watch: Oberhofer
Posted by Brandon Vesely on 08/02 at 05:06 PM
Oberhofer is a five-piece group that rose from the depths of the NYU music scene in 2008. The band's alias comes from the last name of lead singer Brad Oberhofer, who writes and records the majority of the group's music, employing the help of other group members only as needed.
Oberhofer sit comfortably beneath the widely-encompassing umbrella term, "alternative rock," albeit with experimentation with a variety of genres, including noise pop, indie, and dance punk. Brad Oberhofer ventures in a variety of musical directions with his songwriting and often conveys personal emotions through his lyrics and their accompanying soundscapes. That said, nearly every Oberhofer track is unique and memorable.

Album Review: Defeater's Letters Home
Posted by Brandon Vesely on 07/26 at 05:43 PM
Grade: A
Defeater, a hardcore group from Boston Massachusetts, released their newest full-length album, Letters Home, on July 16 via Bridge Nine Records.
Defeater began playing as a group in 2004 but did not release any recorded material until 2008. With the release of their latest work, the hardcore outfit has produced three studio albums and two EPs.
Their music is conceptual and outlines the trials and trepidation of the working American family in the years after World War II, particularly focusing on themes of hollowness, monotony, and loss. Group members have described the post-WWII era as a sort of "gilded age" in American history, where America as a whole seemed to be on an upswing, but the prospects and living conditions of the working and middle class majority were not so promising.

Influential alt-rockers, Pixies, released a new single last Wednesday
Posted by Brandon Vesely on 07/03 at 04:33 PM
Pixies released a new track, "Bagboy," on Wednesday June 28. The group's first song release in nine years continues their legacy of important contributions to the alternative genre.
Pixies influence on a variety of important alternative artists and the direction of the genre as a whole is undeniable, despite their lack of commercial success. Formed in Boston in 1986, the band's musical endeavors encompass a variety of subgenres including indie, surf-punk, and noise rock.
Pixies' founding members, lead guitarist Joey Santiago and vocalist Black Francis, met at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The duo began to play together on a recreational basis, but started taking their musical pursuits more seriously after Francis dropped out of UMass in 1984. As the pair grew increasingly vested in their music, they moved to Boston and recruited the remainder of the group's four original members, bassist Kim Deal and drummer David Lovering.

Artist Profile: Former Destiny's Child Member Kelly Rowland
Posted by Brandon Vesely on 06/19 at 03:42 PM
Kelly Rowland, an original member of the enormously successful R&B trio Destiny's Child, is working her way back to the forefront of the pop industry with the release of her fourth studio album, Talk a Good Game.
Through her contributions to Destiny's Child and collaborations with big-name stars like Lil Wayne and Nelly, Rowland has built herself a name as an accomplished R&B singer. However, her solo work has only garnered moderate commercial success, especially in comparison to former Destiny's Child group mate, Beyoncé Knowles – at least until now , that is.

Shad Gaspard Says He Was Supposed to Face John Cena
Posted by
Jeremy Thomas
on 12.18.2012
Former Cryme Tyme member speaks...
- Shad Gaspard
recently spoke
with PerfectPlex Radio about his reality show, his WWE career and more. Check out the higlights:
On his new reality show:
"Well a friend of mine came to me and said he wants to do a reality documentary on me. I was kind of standoffish at first because he asked me earlier last year and I said no because I am pretty private about my life, you know it's not a lot of pictures of my son or anybody in my family online. He kind of convinced me because he told me it would be like Alistar Overeems' Show where it's not a jerk off to himself he's not sitting there talking bout 'look at me! Oh, I'm great'. It's a real reality show. It's a real documentary. It's not even a reality show. It's a documentary. It's what's happening in my life on a day to day basis and you guys get to see it now."
On whether or not the door is closed on a return to wrestling:
"I'm not big on closing doors. I always leave them cracked open."
On whether he would go back to wrestling for WWE and quit acting:
"No. I would never stop acting. I mean to be totally honest with you, it's one of those things where I've been working hard to do this acting thing for five years now and this last three years has been a real struggle upward that I really don't want to quit right now. I am so close I can taste it and everybody else can see it and I am literally fighting my ass off to get there everyday. I wouldn't give it up."
On almost playing Roadblock:
"There were and it was before Rock joined (signed on) and what happened with that was a friend of mine new the casting and he knew what they were looking for and he gives me a number to call and I am thinking it is just a friend of his and I called the number and I was like "Oh I'm so sorry" because, you know, because actors should never call casting ever. So I called casting and was like "oh my God, I'm so sorry, it was an accident. They said 'oh, it's okay, please send me your stuff.' I told them I'd have my agent sent it and they said 'Oh, you can send it yourself.' It's not a big deal. So I send my resume and stuff and a week later my agent said 'they want you to come in and audition'. So I flew to L.A., I auditioned and I literally killed it in the room. And in the original script, Roadblock wasn't the leader. Flint was and Roadblock was his back up. And so after my audition I left and a half hour later my agent calls and said 'They love you! Their f-king ecstatic!' because they were looking for somebody to play that Roadblock role and they were looking for someone to play that Flint role that could take over from Channing Tatum for a while and everyone they casted just wasn't a big enough star name. And what happened was, from what I'm told, is they started recruiting Rock because they wanted Rock to play Sgt. Slaughter. Yeah, so rather than the Joes going to find Duke, they go to find Sgt. Slaughter that turns out to be Rock and he comes on and he's just the baddest mother f-ker on the planet. And so what happens is they gave Rock a sheet of names and at the top of the list was Sgt. Slaughter but he skipped that name and went straight to Roadblock. And I was like, 'aw, I wont be Roadblock! (laughs)"
On Cryme Tyme's break-up:
"What happened was it was just time. It was one of those things where we weren't getting titles for whatever reason and you know, if we break-up, we can break up and always come back together because you know, no matter what we're still brothers. So plans for me that, I was told a year after I got released, I was told my plans by some of the old writers. A lot of the old writers live in L.A. And we always talk. We always have lunches and a lot of them are working at Paramount, where I'm at and they will see me and be like "Oh yeah, this guy used to be a wrestler. But I know the plans for me was I was supposed to go to Raw and face Cena and I actually remember the day of the draft and I didn't get drafted to Raw like I was supposed to that night so I was like something's up. So we came to Smackdown the next day, I remember walking down the hallway and seeing Michael Hayes and I was like 'what am I doing today?' and he said "I don't f-ing know because you're not supposed to be here.' So it was supposed to be me vs. Cena and they were supposed to build me up as a major heel on Raw. But because of certain agents and certain people didn't think I deserved it all of a sudden I became the guy that can't wrestle."
On if he knew the people that were against them:
"I do. I know who some of them were, but you know me I'm a business man and I don't need to air all that on the radio."
On what happened with Cryme Tyme Cenation):
"It's a weird thing with Cena sometimes. I think guy's like Hunter, Taker, Rock, you know those guys are onions. They have layers to them Stone Cold, you know. They've changed their gimmicks up in so many different ways all the time and it always benefited them. They see the best in changing what they are doing up. And sometimes with Cena he doesn't really want to change it up. I remember we were doing the CTC thing and where at a house show and it was John Cena vs. Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes (in a handicap match). And I remember Randy Orton coming to me and he was like 'What the F-ck? Why is he facing two guys? You guys aren't facing anybody. You're doing a run in and I'm facing a random person.' You know, it didn't make any sense. He (Orton) was like, 'why not just make it a 6-man tag?' We were doing CTC but at the house shows it was CTB. It was Cryme Tyme/Batista. "We literally did more 6-mans where it was me, J and Batista vs. Jericho, Rhodes and Dibiase or Orton, Rhodes and Dibiase. You know, it was a weird situation. Everybody thought it was beneficial. I can't really tell you how Cena felt but I just know that it just didn't go any further than what it did."
On whether there is a glass ceiling in WWE:
"Well you know what? That glass ceiling is gonna come into really good context in the next say... I say three years. Cause Kofi Kingston's contract is gonna be up soon. And if there is anybody on the WWE roster, right now who deserves a world heavyweight championship more than Kofi Kingston, please let me know who he is? Because honest to God, Kofi Kingston is amazing. He makes every match he is in. There hasn't been a match that Kofi Kingston has been in where you haven't been amazed by what he did. So if the glass ceiling does exist, Kofi Kingston shouldn't get a title. But if the glass ceiling doesn't exist, within the next 2 years Kofi Kingston should be world heavyweight champion at least once."
On which World Title Kofi Kingston should get:
"Either one and this comes straight from my heart. He should be WWE champion at least once. Because honestly who deserves to be champion more; Ryback or Kofi Kingston?"

Okay, okay, I'm social.
Don Jones
Tue, 12/21/2010 - 5:16pm
Actually, I'm
very social - I tend to focus
really hard
when I'm working, and when I'm not working I like nothing better than getting away from the computer. That said, several colleagues have been repeatedly trying to drag me into the social networking game. As you probably know, I have a Twitter feed (
, although I admit I'm still a biz hazy on the value of the thing - I use it to post notifications of new PowerShell content I write and find, mainly).
Now, I've finally joined LinkedIn. I'm not sure why - I suppose I'll figure it out, or you can explain it to me (drop a comment below). My
profile is online now
, and I'll look forward to the wonderfulness everyone tells me this is :).

This ring is beautiful; it is delicate and if you like small rings you would love it. The sapphire is smaller than described, approx. 5x3.5 mm.
Absolutely stunning...............it was the perfect gift for my 22-year old college graduate niece.
I bought this ring for my, now ex, girlfriend - a promise ring. It's beautiful. She was ecstatic, and I was to see her expression. It was true to size and true to the picture. Excellent purchase
I bought this for my niece, her 16th birthday. She loved it and said the fit was perfect. I wanted her to have something she could keep for a long time. I can depend on the O!!
While the stone is smaller than I expected from the picture, my wife was nonetheless pleased. The ring arrived timely and paypal worked well.
The ring is set beautifully and is obviously great quality. I can't wait to shop more on Overstock.
I got this as a gift and I couldnt' be happier. The color, the quality, the setting - it's great!!
I am thrilled with this ring and highly recommend it to others. It is truly beuatiful.
Lovely piece, as described, service was excellent. Received merchandise quickly, as always.
Classy and elegant. It's great for all occasions. In face, it hardly leaves my finger.
