I went to a big box baby store to order a rocker. I found one I liked with an ottoman. I liked a brand called Little Castle, so I picked out my fabric and ordered it on spot in total of $950.00. I got home and did some research to find out if I was getting a good deal. When I came across a Blog that said Walmart was selling Little Castle brand under the Enchanted Label. I canceled my other order which was an 8 week wait anyway. I put in my order for the Enchanted Glider and Ottoman in plush taupe. I had my rocker within 2 weeks with free shipping using Site to Store. You had to attach the glider mechanism, which took about 5 minutes max...very easy. The fabric is VERY SOFT. The only thing I could say is different (from Little Castle) is the range of fabric (quality of fabric is exactly the same as the samples in the baby store). Also, the back is a couple inches shorter than the one I had ordered in the other store. My husband is over 6 feet tall and fits in quite nicely.
For the longest time I wanted a different Little Castle rocker/glider from Target.com but refused to pay the ridiculous shipping charges. Instead I "settled" for this chair because of Walmart's site to store option. I never imagined I'd love it this much. When you sit in it, it's like you're being hugged by a giant teddy bear! It is so soft and snuggly and when I lean back, it supports my head and neck perfectly (I am 5 ft 6). The rock and swivel motions are silent and smooth and I honestly couldn't be happier with this purchase!
This glider goes above and beyond my expectations. It is not only gorgeous, but it is so smooth gliding and it swivels too which I wasn't expecting. I have had SO many compliments on it already. It is the perfect addition to my nursery and I look forward to many hours logged in it rocking my baby to sleep.
I shopped all over for the "perfect" glider and this is pretty close. Babies r us had cheap chairs and we didn't want the dutallier types; wanted a chair that could go somewhere else in the house when it's done being in the nursery. Checked out furniture stores and other baby stores. My favorite was a Little Castle chair I found in a baby store - problem was it was $1000 which we could not justify. Then I read somewhere Little Castle was making for Walmart and I dug deeper and found this one. I am about 5'4", not a big person and our nursery is not big. This is perfect for me and the nursery but also fits my 6'1" husband. Material is high quality, came fully assembled, no squeaks or any other problems, just ready to go! We did site to store and the chair arrived nearly a week early. We could fit it in our SUV but only after taking it outside the box. It's comfy, good looking, high quality,and great value.
I bought this after reading tons of reviews and researching tons of gliders. I was very nervous because I have bought things from Wal-mart.com and have been happy with the purchase and other times I have been extremely disappointed. This chair was a major plus. It is big and plushy and rock/glides smoothly and quietly. I rock myself to sleep in it often when rocking the baby. I am a plus sized girl and tall (5' 8" and about 220lbs.) There is still space around me. I nursed for about 8 weeks and the boppy fit nicely in the chair with me. The chair is large and along with the ottoman kind of overwhelms the nursery( its the smallest of the bedrooms in my house (maybe 10x9?) but it is soooo worth it! The only down side it I think something was spilled on it in the warehouse...there was a weird smell that I had to get out by pour a couple bottles of Febreze on it.
This chair is everything I was hoping it to be. After reading the 5 star reviews, I ordered it sight unseen, and am absolutely thrilled with it. My youngest child is 10 yrs old, so I didn't buy it for a nursery. I bought it to replace a rocking chair that I had in my living room. It is so very comfortable and worth every penny. I would highly recommend this chair to anyone.
This chair is FANTASTIC!!! Especially for the price!! If you have been searching for a different kind of glider and do not want to spend $700+ on it, this is it! I looked at every possible option on the web and in stores and NOONE has this kind of a chair, at this quality, for this price! It is a clean, great design, is more comfortable than I expected and is overall, the perfect chair!
I was very pleased with the chair. I have never bought a chair without sitting in it before but I did read the reviews before I bought it and thought I would go for it because I could return it back to the store without having to pay shipping. I had it shipped to the store for free. Just fair warning you need a truck or at least a Suburban to bring it home. I had a Suburban and it just fit in the back. I bought the taupe chair but I would call it more of a cream color. It rocks (glides) very nice and it swivels too. I am 5'6" and my husband is 6'3" and it fits us both fine. I like my head to have support and it fits just right for both of us. It is the most favorite chair in our livingroom now. The kids and I fight over it. I would recomend this chair it is a good item for the money! I would buy another one in a heartbeat! So if you decide to get one enjoy!
Great quality; no assembly required. Glides nicely and is quiet....and the back is tall enough to rest your head while sitting in it (I'm 5'9"). The color is a lighter chocolate brown than what you see online, but it worked out very well for us, and we were expecting it given other reviews. As one reviewer said, it looks just like chocolate milk. Literally. If you want to know the color you are getting, stop by the dairy aisle and look at the shade of brown in a premade carton of chocolate milk. VERY comfortable. My husband and I both like it a lot! With the ottoman total cost was a little high, but we decided it was worth it.
first of all, i can't believe a chair this nice is such an awesome price point. seriously... its the brand "little castle" that sells in fancy baby boutiques for like $1200. Just buy this chair! we have had it 10 months and LOVE it! It is stylish, SUPER comfy and just perfect for our little one's black and white nursery! the only thing is that its black so you see stains if you don't clean them off. but, once you spot clean, its good as new. Its lovely!
As I read through the reviews on this chair, I stumbled upon one review that said this chair was a rocker and not a glider, just that one negative about it being a rocker, almost stopped me from ordering because, I only wanted a glider; I decided to trust the majority of reviews and ordered it! I'm happy to say, it is indeed a GLIDER! Now, as far as the chair being as cushy as some of the others at the big name baby stores it is not (in my opinion) however, for half the price, I can live with it because, it's still a great chair. If you are going to use it as an everyday chair for your living room; I would go with the plusher big name baby store chair, to use it as a nursery chair or a chair for your bedroom (which is why I purchased it) this chair more than suffices....The color is true to the photo, I'm 5 ft 5 in. the chair fits great, I can see where someone taller would still find it very comfy!
We are really happy with this chair (and the matching ottoman, which we also bought). Looks great in the nursery, very comfy and seems very sturdy and well-built. My wife and I wanted to find a glider that didn't look like a glider (i.e., we didn't want the normal exposed wood frame setup), and this fits the bill perfectly. We saw virtually the same chair (same brand, not sure if it's the same exact model) in a high-end children's boutique and the total for chair+ottoman was over $1,200! Thanks Walmart for offering a much lower price. Note: there are several Little Castle gliders for sale @ Walmart.com, and some of the reviews for certain models indicate they don't work well for taller people. My wife and I are both tall (6ft and 5ft 10in) and we fit just fine -- we can easily rest our heads on the backrest and stretch our legs onto the ottoman).
Glider is great quality and well made. Soft cushions for a nursing mother. Fits my tall 6'3 husband great but is too deep for someone my petite size(5"0). I will need a pillow and stool so I can use the rocker properly. Walmart ordering was simple but when they ship, it is to sidewalk of your place-they wouldn't bring the chair into my apartment. I was lucky to have my father help me bring it in.
Just as the other reviews said, this is a high-quality chair that fits wonderfully into a smaller nursery. I spent hours looking for the "perfect" glider and think I've found it! The fabric, which wasn't my first choice when I saw it online, is actually soft and beautiful and neutral in person and I really like it. The chair is the most comfortable chair in the house and I love, love, love that we didn't have to spent $900 for a good-looking glider! A friend of mine with an infant came to stay with us and even slept in the chair she loved it so much. My husband's only complaint is that it doesn't recline, but honestly for the price and the service (thank you Ship to Store) you can't beat this for function and fashion (and I'm very picky when it comes to both). Buy it:)
I haven't used this product on a daily basis yet, and I've only had it a couple weeks, so I can't speak about durability. It is very comfortable...back is tall enough for you to lean your head back on comfortably (I'm abouit 5'8). It glides/swivels very smoothly and does not sqeak or make any noise. It feels supportive, but also soft. The color is great...it is lighter than the picture (which I expected), but is dark enough to camouflage minor stains or marks and to not look dirty as soon as a beige or lighter color. The chair looks great in our nursery and I can't wait to use it in a couple weeks with our new baby!
We purchased the chair and had it shipped site to store. We were very surprised when it arrived 8 days earlier than expected! The chair was in great shape and even had someone help us get it loaded, which is not our normal experience for WalMart. The chair itself is exactly what we hoped for. It is very comfortable and has a smooth gliding motion for rocking my baby when he gets here. It does gather lint but for me, its not a big deal. I like the fabric much better than microfiber, and, for me, its not much of an issue to either vacuum or lint roll it to keep the lint to a minimum. The chair does tip forward when getting out of it but I find that helpful when you are getting up with a sleeping infant in your arms. This is a great chair and a great value for the money. It looks more expensive than what it really is and it will transition nicely from the nursery to any other room in our home.
I don"t really ever write reviews, but I felt compelled to let others know how much I like this chair. I have had this chair about 6 months now and I use it everyday. Its perfect for nursing and rocking my daughter. The arms would be a little high for nursing without the aid of a Boppy or other type of nursing pillow, but that is a minor gripe. I am 5'5, my husband is 6' and we are both equally comfortable in the chair. The back is high enough for me to rest my head against, in fact I cannot count how many times I have fallen asleep in it. Its a beautiful light shade of mint. Not sage or lime. The quality is top notch for the price you pay. We had it shipped to the store and it only took about a week. I highly recommend!
Overall, good product. Best price I've seen for quality of glider/rocker. Comfortable. Initially I had the recliner rocker shipped to store. It was damaged as metal glider piece underneath was bent because it came attached to chair. This glider came with metal glider piece seperate in its own box and was easy to attach. Fabric is cotton. Very nice looking but fabric can attract carpet fibers and lint. Feels so much better than microfiber though. Can tip easily if pulled back when someone is not sitting in it.
This chair is very comfortable and a great price! I also ordered the matching glider shipped to my local store. Everything is in great condition. The color of the chair has a slight green hue. It won't be a problem in my nursery, but it does have some mossy undertones.
I went back and forth for what seemed like months trying to decide on a "nice looking" plush glider. I originally wanted an Ivory Chenille one from JCP. and I saw one identical to it at Walmart.com that I almost purchased, but I decided to go with the Taupe color (less show of wear and tear) and I knew this was from Little Castle which is a pretty reputable product so I took a chance. The color is definately Taupe and it is very soft but not Chenille. It comes in a nice large box that says Little Castle and EXTREMELY easy to put together. I put it together by myself being 35wks pregnant in less than 10 min. It fits nicely in our nursery, but I noticed that I might have to purchase a step stool of some kind bc my feel are not touching the ground when I sit all the way back- so it's difficult to rock back and forth, however I'm just barely 5'2 so if your taller - no problems there. Overall I'm happy I went with this chair.

Antiques Considered - March 23, 2011
- Details
- Last Updated on Wednesday, 23 March 2011 00:00
- Published on Wednesday, 23 March 2011 00:00

A family in the lower Northern Neck purchased this Chippendale gaming or card table at an antique shop in Richmond many years ago. They think the finish is original, as are the jackknife hinges, but the box underneath the top is missing, thus the identity of the secondary wood out of which it would have been made, remains unknown.
They are uncertain as to the piece's age.
Gaming tables were the principal means of entertainment in both homes and taverns during the Colonial and Early American Periods. They were fairly common, and many have survived, then more were made during the Centennial Period. If we look at antiques as commodities, we can apply the law of supply and demand. In this instance the supply of both the 18th-century originals and 19-century reproductions is great and the demand is less.
Assuming the table is Centennial, it is worth $400. The missing card box keeps the value lower than a complete one would fetch. A 20th-century reproduction in most case would be at the same level. If the table is from the 18th century, the price could reach 10 times that figure.
Happy Antiquing!

Several Ways to Chip Away at Greece's Debt Mountain
Euro-zone finance ministers admitted for the first time this week that they must reduce the burden that Greece's enormous government debt is placing upon the country's economy.
Easier said than done.
The ministers said Monday they will explore "steps to reduce the cost of debt-servicing and means to improve the sustainability of Greek public debt."
A "sustainable" debt burden is one that a debtor will be able to repay in full and on time, and that will eventually start to fall as a proportion of economic output. It's a term of art, rather than science. The International Monetary Fund continues to claim that Greece's public debt, forecast to rise above an enormous 160% of gross domestic product, is sustainable—even in the face of financial market incredulity.
While the ministers' statement suggests some efforts to relieve the weight of Greece's debt burden, it doesn't commit them to reducing Athens' €350 billion ($495 billion) debt stock.
The minimal option appears to be for euro-zone governments to further reduce interest rates on their bailout loans to Greece, as they seek to extend the maturities of bonds as they come due. The benefits to Greece could be boosted by cutting interest rates paid to private bondholders—for example, by swapping maturing bonds for new bonds with lower interest rates—and extending maturities to, say, 30 years, instead of seven.
The drawback to this approach is that it would continue to address Greece's debt as if it were a liquidity problem, and do little to convince skeptics that the government's debt burden will eventually return to a downward trajectory. Such an approach wouldn't be costless either, since rating agencies have made clear that they would view any effort at extending bond maturities as putting Greece in a "selective default."
"We are at the point where an interest-rate reduction and maturity extension are necessary, but no longer enough to make Greek debt sustainable," says Sony Kapoor, managing director of Re-Define, a financial think tank.
So what if governments go for a more radical approach also under discussion by European officials, and go forward with a plan to reduce Greece's debt?
Options under this plan would aim to capture, for Greece's benefit, the discount to face value at which the country's bonds are now changing hands. This could be achieved through bond buybacks for cash, or through bond exchanges. Both options can deliver the same economic benefits to Greece—but there are technical, accounting, legal and other differences between the two that could be significant.
One proposal under discussion is for the European Financial Stability Facility, the euro zone's bailout fund, to help Greece go into the market and buy back bonds now trading at a discount. This might not trigger any default calls from ratings agencies—but it might not do much good for Greece. In the barely traded market for Greek debt, the entrance of a big buyer would instantly drive up prices, and significantly limit the scope for debt reduction.
Some debt could be purchased from the ECB, which stepped in last year to buy Greek government bonds. But that wouldn't be help much either: The estimated €48 billion that the ECB holds was bought on average at more than 85% of face value. With such bonds now trading at about 50% of face value, buying from the ECB at cost—almost nobody argues that the ECB should take losses—would yield no more than €8 billion of debt reduction from a €350 billion burden.
For Greece's debt to be widely seen as sustainable it needs to be cut by about a half, analysts say. Picking off a few willing sellers could shave a few billion euros from the burden—but really not address debt sustainability. Some analysts argue that the only way to achieve a worthwhile debt reduction is to move away from the idea that creditor participation must be voluntary. "It's going to have to be a wholesale coercive buyback or it will be pointless. Opportunistic buybacks in the market would simply bid up the price without increasing debt sustainability," says Mr. Kapoor.
That would entail putting a price into the market—say 50% to 60% of face value, and telling bondholders to take it or leave it. Those who decide not to take up the offer could find their bonds not serviced, and since a vast majority of Greek bonds are issued under Greek law, they could find it difficult to pursue legal claims.
A buyback could be handled by the EFSF directly—or more likely by the Greek government, using EFSF funds. Financing the buybacks would require the EFSF to raise more than €100 billion in the bond markets, perhaps tapping demand for top-rated paper from sovereign-wealth funds.
This two-step process could be turned into a one-step process with a debt exchange, under which holders of Greek bonds are encouraged to swap their existing bonds for bonds with a lower face value. The replacement bonds could be issued by the EFSF or Athens with a "credit enhancement"—guarantees of repayment at maturity and some interest payments.
Bond exchanges could be more attractive for bondholders than debt swaps in some circumstances, potentially reducing the write-downs that some investors would have to make.
Credit enhancements could be used to make the exchange more attractive for investors. But they increase the costs to Greece, since Athens would have to finance them through purchases of top-rated securities that could be cashed in to guarantee repayment of capital or some payments of interest. "Credit enhancements should only be given in return for large-scale debt reduction," says Adam Lerrick, a Washington-based specialist in sovereign debt restructurings.
A coercive buyback or debt exchange both risk declaration of a full default, and a likely trigger of a "credit event"—which means payouts to holders of insurance bought in the credit-default-swap market. Euro-zone governments have argued that both are undesirable; proponents argue that if a default leads to a big debt reduction and debt sustainability, Greece's rating would be affected only for a short time before it rose rapidly again. Meanwhile, the net amount of credit-default swaps outstanding is tiny compared with the outstanding stock of Greek debt: $4.8 billion, according to the DTCC Trade Information Warehouse.
Euro-zone governments have options in front of them that could return Greece to debt sustainability. They could, as their record suggests is more likely, take a more conservative approach and leave hanging over the euro zone continuing questions about whether the country's debt will be repaid in full and on time.

TEL and IMEC Extend Lithography Collaboration to EUV and Hyper NA 193nm Immersion Lithography
Building on the success of past and present collaborations, TEL is to extend its partnership with IMEC by contributing an industry leading photoresist coater/developer system for use in IMEC's Industrial Affiliation Program on EUV lithography. This program will start in January 2006 and run for three years.
EUV lithography is widely expected to become the successor to 193nm immersion lithography in advanced patterning techniques, potentially to be introduced for the 32nm node. Although it is likely that the implementation of this technology for semiconductor device manufacturing is still some years away, there are many challenges to overcome. The objective of the joint activity between TEL and IMEC on EUV lithography is to understand the nature of such challenges related to photoresist processing, and to identify potential solutions to these challenges.
As an extension of the current collaboration on immersion lithography, TEL will also install a state of the art CLEAN TRACK(TM) LITHIUS(TM) i+ system for Hyper NA 193nm Immersion Lithography in Q1/2006. This tool will feature technologies specific to immersion lithography developed as a result of defectivity work carried out by IMEC and TEL using the CLEAN TRACK ACT(TM)12 currently installed at IMEC. The LITHIUS I+ will be interfaced to IMEC's ASML XT1700i to form a world leading immersion lithography cluster.
This will bring the total number of TEL's CLEAN TRACK systems installed at IMEC's facilities in Leuven to nine. This significant install base represents the value that TEL places on working in collaboration with IMEC, as well as reflecting IMEC's status as a world leader in semiconductor technology research.
High expectations are placed on the combination of IMEC's advanced research capabilities and TEL's technological expertise on photoresist processing. TEL will apply knowledge gained on critical dimension and defectivity control for EUV processes to its products, enabling TEL to provide fit-for-purpose technology to customers in a timely manner.

Very low key nose. Super discreet. Great definition. Much fruitier than old vintages. Nowadays according to Katharina grapes are riper. In the Grosser Ring days when they showed wines in June it was too early for them so they showed an older vintage. Complete. 17/20 points.
92 points, Mosel Fine Wines: "This offers a gorgeous nose of lemon, peach, white orchard fruits and some herbs. The wine is deliciously well balanced on the palate and delivers a stunningly long and well-balanced finish. 2019-2032." (10/2013) Graacher Himmelreich is situated just upstream from the famed Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard. With deeper, richer soils, this site is a little less steep, and its southwest exposure ensures that the wines from this site have a racy and juicy acid background that really make the wines sing. The 2012 vintage presented weather conditions at first challenging, then favorable. It may do Mosel fans well to follow the advice of Wine Spectator's 2012 vintage report: "For German wine fans, seeking out fastidious producers will be crucial when the 2012s hit the market." Manfred Prüm along with daughter Dr. Katharina Prüm turn out perennially classic, collectible Rieslings.

rmh is coming along well; we're about to begin building the bench. We're have an 8" exhaust and are looking to build a 3' x 15' bench to start seedlings on. Using
at a weight of 100 lbs/ cu ft we calculated we needed the bench to be just under 3 feet high to weigh in at 5 tons. Does this seem correct? Most other systems i've come across don't seem to have such a large heat storage.
The second question is regarding the placement of the pipe if the thermal storage is 3 x 15 x 3. I'm thinking to place it fairly deep in the bench, but since this is in a
and I'd like to capture as much heat as possible in the bench and not in the soil itself, I am wondering about how to set the cob and rocks underneath the pipe so that most of the heat will move up into the bench and not be drawn into the soil. Is this a legitimate concern that I should try to work with or can I throw down a layer of small rocks for drainage, then 6 - 10" of cob and rocks for the pipe to sit on and then build the rest of the bench and expect the heat to more or less rise? Should I place less rocks and more cob under the bench since the cob doesn't transfer heat as fast as the rocks?

most are in houses and that means you want a bit more oomph out of the exhaust. the depth of cob above the duct needs to be at least 6 inches below the surface.
Need more info?

what do you mean "you want a bit more oomph out of the exhaust"? Do you mean you want to attempt to capture as much heat as possible, leading to building such a large mass and that you don't see it necessary to build such a large mass in a
The depth of the cob above the duct will certainly be 6 inches, probably closer to 12 inches or more. How much is too much and how even should the amounts of cob below and above the pipe be?
I think that is my basic question, how much do I need to worry about cob and rocks underneath to keep the heat from moving into the ground? Will the majority of it move up? This is a question for me because it is not the hot air/exhaust, but the hot air/exhaust heating the metal pipe (which conducts heat much better and would even out quickly) and then via conduction moving out into the cob.

Heat only goes up because of convection, this means there must be something that reduces in density when it gets hot. Air will do. When the heat source is in a solid, the heat travels by conduction, and provided the conductivity is the same throughout the mass, the heat will travel at the same speed in all directions as long as the temperature difference between the source and the outside is the same, or more correctly the temperature gradient is the same. To stop the heat in any direction e.g. down, you will need an insulator. The material will depend on what temperature you are expecting. Low temps could be done with polyurethane foam, higher temps with pearlite/clay mix.
EDIT: There is a little problem with the theory that heat travels at the same rate in all directions in a solid. Because of convection, the temperature at the top of the exhaust tube will be higher than it is at the bottom, so that would cause the heat to travel up faster than it goes down.

Mt Ophir Mountain Climbing
Mt Ophir is one of the most trekked summit in Malaysia and stands tall at 1276 meters. It is located at the border of Melaka and Johore states of Peninsular Malaysia. The summit falls in Johor state. Among locals, Mt. Ophir is popularly known as Gunung Ledang. As is true with most of the local attractions, there is a fable associated with Gunung Ledang and I am not going into the details of this. A colleague of mine told me that there was a Malay movie made, based on the legend of Gunung Ledang. Not sure if the movie was a box office hit.
There are a few trails leading to the summit and the two popular ones are
1. Asahan trail and
2. Air Panas trail (also called Sagil route).
Between the two, Asahan is supposed to be an easier, shorter and straight forward trek route. It starts from the Melaka side, at the Asahan water work near Asahan village. Our plan is to take the Asahan trail, starting the trek at around midnight, reach the summit by early morning hours, watch the much talked about sunrise and trek down the hill to the Johor side, ending at the Resort.

Suppose I have the following tables:
CREATE TABLE Game (
GameID INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
GameType TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (GameID),
INDEX Index_GameType (GameType, GameID)
CREATE TABLE HighScore (
Game INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
Score SMALLINT UNSIGNED,
PRIMARY KEY (Game),
INDEX Index_Score (Score, Game),
CONSTRAINT Constr_Score_Game_fk
FOREIGN KEY Score_Game_fk (Game) REFERENCES Game (GameID)
(These are slimmed-down versions of real tables I am working with. The real tables have more columns and indexes. The above tables capture the essential features of the situation.)
(The number of different GameTypes should be assumed to be small, so that the index Index_GameType is not very selective.)
Suppose I run the following query:
JOIN Game ON HighScore.Game = Game.GameID
Game.GameType = 42
HighScore.Score DESC
Looking at this query and the table design, we can probably agree that the sensible thing would be to scan down the HighScore table and join rows until 50 have been found for which the WHERE condition is satisfied. However, an EXPLAIN for me showed (using my real, more complicated tables) that MySQL actually planned to look for all rows in Game satisfying the WHERE condition, join this with HighScore, and do a filesort to get the rows in sorted order.
It seemed sensible therefore to specify a STRAIGHT_JOIN instead in the above query. Now the EXPLAIN output indicates that the first table, HighScore, is "using index" (as expected), but the number of rows reported appears to be the number of rows in the HighScore table. Should I take this to mean that MySQL plans to take essentially the entire index, join every row in that index to the other table, and only then throw away rows below the top 50? That seems ridiculous, but I'm not sure if that's what it would actually do. Does anyone have any idea?

The summer Olympics are only a few months away and honestly, we don't really know who's competing. We can however, tell you all the fashion brands involved. First Stella McCartney, creating uniforms for the British competitors, then Miuccia Prada, sponsoring the Italian sailing team. And now, Ralph Lauren, with something special for the United States.
Today, the American label unveiled its Opening Ceremony outfits for our country's entire team. (And, for the first—and maybe last—time on this blog, we don't mean the store!) The crisp white ensembles have polo collars and striped belts, accented with the official Olympic emblem and the company's signature Big Pony logo.

As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded. I would now like to introduce your host for today's conference, Ms. Sara Pellegrino, Associate Director of Investor Relations. Ma'am, you may begin.
Sara Pellegrino
Good afternoon. And thank you for joining our conference call to discuss our third quarter 2012 financial results. Speaking on today's call we have John Crowley, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Bradley Campbell, our Chief Business Officer; Pol Boudes, our Chief Medical Officer; David Lockhart, our Chief Scientific Officer; and Chip Baird, our Chief Financial Officer. They are all available to participate in the Q&A session as well.
Today's prepared remarks coincide with the slide presentation that is now available on our corporate website at www.amicusrx.com. The slides are located in the Investors section under Events and Presentations right below the webcast link to today's call.
On slide two, we have a reference to forward-looking statements. This conference call and presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to business, operations and financial conditions of Amicus, including, but not limited to, preclinical and clinical development of Amicus' candidate drug products, the timing and reporting of results from preclinical studies and clinical trials evaluating Amicus' candidate drug products, the projected cash position from the company and business development and other transactional activities.
Words such as but not limited to, look forward, to, believe, expect, anticipate, estimate, intend, plan, would, should and could, and similar expressions or words identify forward-looking statements.
Although Amicus believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that its expectations will be realized.
Actual results could differ materially from those projected in Amicus' forward-looking statements, due to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including the risk factors described in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, all forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary and Amicus undertakes no obligation to revise or update its release to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.
So, at this time, it is my pleasure to turn the call over to John Crowley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Amicus.
John Crowley
Great. Thank you, Sara. Good evening, everybody. And thank you for joining us on our Q3 conference call. I'll direct you to the agenda slide, slide number three of the presentation.
I'll begin the presentation and go through some of the major corporate highlights for Amicus. And then the bulk of the presentation I'll turn over to some of our senior team at Amicus, who I'm joined by here this evening.
The Fabry monotherapy program updates I'll cover briefly and then turn over some of the clinical, including some of the data -- very exciting data from the American Society of Nephrology meeting in San Diego this past weekend to our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Pol Boudes.
And then we also have our Chief Business Officer, Bradley Campbell, as well as our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. David Lockhart, who will go through some additional results, especially in our chaperone-ERT program for both Fabry and Pompe.
I'll then turn the call over to Chip, our Chief Financial Officer and Chip will take us through the 3Q '12 financial results and fiscal year '12 guidance. And then, I'll conclude the call with upcoming milestones and final remarks.
Just briefly to turn your attention to slide number four, you'll see the headline of this slide is related to hurricane, the Superstorm Sandy that struck the East Coast and particularly devastated New Jersey last week.
You'll see the headline there that the Amicus' New Jersey facility and operations remained intact and fully functional. I just want to ensure -- assure everybody on this call that we certainly at Amicus took this as with all natural disaster threats very seriously at Amicus.
We came through the storm thankfully fine. We are fully functional and operational. The picture that you see on that slide was actually taken this morning from in front of our building, so you can see some of the work going on at Amicus.
We have 300-kilowatt generator that powers the facility. Thankfully we only lost our power for a short while. We did have our facility's team in the building here throughout. We did have backup contingency plans, if any of our experiments needed to be moved to places with power, including transferring some of that to a GSK facility temporarily. Thankfully, we didn't have to do that. We're only out of the building Monday and Tuesday during the storm and then back in the facility on Wednesday.
So, Amicus, thankfully, made it through the storm well. Certainly many of our communities, including the communities that many of our employees live in were particularly affected and many of our Amicus team are helping the volunteers to the Red Cross and other agencies.

I really need to get some help. I'm bipolar and was diagnosed when I was like 8 years old. Now I'm 20 with a beautiful baby boy named Damian who is almost two and alot of times on my last nerve. It's not hard to do. I quit taking my medicine when I was about 14 because it made me feel inhuman and I haven't had too many problems because I've always had a councilor or psychologist to talk to. But now that my husband and I got divorced I don't recieve any insurance and since I'm only working part time and trying to go to school raising a two year old, can't afford any care on my own. But I've been flipping out on my son lately. I haven't hit him or been abusive. I just yell or lock myself in my room and him in his. It kills me to lose it like that and I know it can't be much better for him. I could get medical if I were going to go back on meds but like I said before it makes me feel inhuman and it wouldn't show my son his mother, just a zombie of sorts. But if I don't try something I might just keep going like this until I lose it completely. I need some advice.
I need to get some help
Comments (8)
Sounds like your situation is diffficult and I commend you for acknowledging your struggles, that can be hard to do sometimes. I think any single parent can relate to feeling out of control sometimes because we have no help when we do feel angry or frustrated. I have yelled at my daughter before and have felt completely horrible about it...but I make sure I set up safeguards that will help me cool down fast. What seems to work with my daughter and I, is that when she was around 2 1/2 (because that is when she got testy) after I apologized for raising my voice at her, I told her it is not okay for anyone to speak to her that way, even mommy and to tell me that it is not ok to yell at her if I raise my voice. So to this day (she is almost 4) she keeps me in check when my anger starts to boil up and tells me that I its not okay to yell at her...and I can;t tell you how fast that my temper goes down and I agree with her...I think coming up with a system, whether it be a verbal check from your kid, or setting a ritual of peace time for mommy once you begin getting frustrated...kids are extremely smart and habitual by nature, so if you start a routine now to have you go to your room while your son reads books in his bedroom or somethign like that, it may help...Good luck, I hope you find some good suggestions on this board to help with your struggles!
proud mommy of Cadence Adair 6/24/05
I'm mainly a lurker on this board, but if you are diagnosed Bi-polar you really should be on medication. It is not something that you can really try to balance on your own, Bi-polar is a chemical imbalance. If you have been diagnosed Bi-Polar you should qualify for some state help. Check with your local SRS office (You should qualify for medical and other possible benefits depending on what state you live in) Not all bi-polar medication will make you feel like a zombie you just need to work with your doctor on finding the right medication for you and the right dosage.
I hope this helps.
if your a student, your school should offer a student health center includung counseling. I agree with pp. there are a lot NEW meds that can help you balance out everything out. I would start at the school psychologist center & go from there. Good luck!
I am also a lurker and urge you to go to a DOCTOR!!!!!! You should not have to suffer... There are many new meds out there and a psychiatrist will help you figure out what one is right for you.
Just think, acknowledging that you need help is more than half the battle. Now you must act ASAP. Think of your illness, like any other, be it diabetes or heart disease. No one would ever suggest that you shouldn't take your insulin! You need to put yourself first, get help, so that you can be the mother/role model that you want to be. Only then can you take care of yourself.
molly Mommy to Ava 4/27/07
Look in the yellow pages under mental health. Every county runs a mental health clinic. If you can't find it that way, call your local health department and ask them for the number for mental health services. You will be charged on a sliding scale or for free. They will work with you for you to get your medications either through samples or programs with the pharmaceutical companies. There is usually a social worker there who can assist you in getting in medical assistance. They don't just have doctors who prescribe, they also offer counseling. I will say due to cutbacks, it might be difficult to get an appointment immediately - tell them that you are in crisis. There are tons of new meds that won't make you feel like that. You've taken the first step in admitting you need help. If you need more info, pass me a note!
government assistance, you should qualify.

stupid found religion and decide to ruin the world
I am also bipolar and I have to tell you, it took a LOONG time before I found the right medicine cocktail for me. A lot of the drugs I tried were "numbing" and made me feel like I had no creativity or personality, so I know what you are referring to when you say "inhuman".
There are so many wonderful ,meds on the market now. You really should give treatment a try again. You can get medical care from the government. If you are only working part time and you are a single mom then you and your son most likely qualify for medical coverage so you should go to the department of human services (or whatever they call it in your area) and sign up.
I take my meds faithfully because I KNOW that my son needs me to. I am the best mommy I can be for him because I am on medication. I don't have any disillusions about that. The meds allow me to be a wonderful, patient and attached mother to a 2 year old boy named AJ. He is a great kid.
I am sure your child is a wonderful kiddo and he deserves the best of you. Please try other medications under the care of a real psyhiatrist until you find something that works for you. There are so many to choose from that it's almost impossible to never find a good match for your body chemistry. Please don't hesitate!
Did you take lithium? I did. It ruined my thyroid and it made me feel numb and tired. I hated it, but it did help the bipolar.
Now I take a combination of lexapro and geodon. 10 mgs lexapro and 60 mgs geodon. I take 20 mg geodon in the am and 40 mg geodon plus the 10 mg lex at bedtime. It allows me to be a good and kind mommy. You really should try meds again! There have been so many advances in pharmaceuticals.
ALso, risperdal is a great med to calm your anxiety and irritability. It does cause weight gain for some.
The geodon works similarly but it doesn't cause me any weight gain.
Another good one is abilify. That one caused me to have shortness of breath so I had to stop it.
You could also try depakote or lamictal, both of which are great for treating bipolar disorder. There are so many options out there and not all of them leave you feeling lifeless and "inhuman". That is a really descriptive way to describe it, however!
PMAN any time if you want to know anything. I've tried so many meds I could tell you about all of them. Because of my wonderful psychiatrist I have a little boy who's got a strong and loving mama to take care of him. I know it's because of the meds. They DO help.
Good luck!
Just doing my best. What more is there?
Hi, I have several family members that have been diagnosed with bipolar, one being my Mom. From my understanding, if it's not treated with meds it will get worse as you get older. My mother ignored it for so many years and didn't decide to get help until I had to cut a sheet from around her neck to keep her from hanging herself. It's a serious disease and although I understand how you feel about meds, you want to try to get some help. This is one disease that no matter how strong you are, you can't deal with it all on your own. You said you haven't been on meds since you were 14, there have been advances in drugs since then and maybe there is a drug that's right for you. As far as the insurance goes, I know that some places will give you samples if you can't afford the meds yourself, but I really don't know where to tell you to look, sorry. All in all, you and your precious baby deserve to have a normal happy life, so explore your options, and I wish you all the best .

I love that the accessories are " gathering" it might be some kinda protest and I am ready to join in…maybe about winter?
The gloves were still there when I passed by earlier, but had been joined by a wee stripey companion. . .
Happily, I was able to stop Bruce before he made off with the gathering.
Perhaps folk are abandoning their winter accessories willy-nilly – it certainly feels like Spring today.
