Exhibit 99.1
-Phase 3 milestones moved ahead into 2010 for report of top line results of
MARINE trial and completion of ANCHOR trial randomization-
Conference call today at 11:00 AM Eastern Time
Dublin, Ireland and Mystic, CT, USA, November 10, 2010 Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AMRN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on cardiovascular disease, today reported its financial and operational results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. In addition, the Company provided an update regarding its MARINE and ANCHOR trials, the two on-going Phase 3 clinical trials of its lead product candidate AMR101 for treating elevated triglyceride levels, including a positive update regarding the timing of key future milestones for these trials. In summary:
MARINE trial top-line results are now expected before the end of 2010
ANCHOR trial patient screening is complete and randomization is now expected to be complete by the end of 2010 with top-line results expected in mid-2011
The above revised guidance is months ahead of previous guidance for both trials
Financial resources remain sufficient to complete both Phase 3 clinical trials and submit the NDA for AMR101
The MARINE and ANCHOR trials are pivotal Phase 3 studies designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AMR101 in two separate populations of patients with elevated triglyceride levels. According to current treatment guidelines established by NCEP ATPIII, patients with these levels of triglyceride elevation should be treated with triglyceride lowering therapy.
Q3 Financial Update
Amarins cash balance as of September 30, 2010 was approximately $31.4 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, net cash outflows were approximately $6.2 million, including approximately $5.5 million paid in connection with the Companys two ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials.
The Companys net cash outflows during the quarter were partially offset by approximately $2.0 million in net proceeds received from the exercise of warrants. These warrant exercises, at exercise prices from $1.00 to $1.50 per share, resulted in the issuance of 1.5 million new shares during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
As of September 30, 2010, the Company had 101.3 million shares outstanding, 38.7 million warrants outstanding at an average exercise price of $1.77 and 12.3 million stock options outstanding at an average exercise price of $2.47.
The Company expects that its current financial resources are sufficient to finance its planned operations through the filing of the NDA pending positive clinical results.
Clinical Trial Update
Amarins two ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials (MARINE and ANCHOR) were initiated near the beginning of 2010 to investigate the efficacy of AMR101 in reducing elevated triglyceride levels in two patient populations. As reported on August 10, 2010, randomization to dosing has been completed in the MARINE trial. Amarin now expects to report top-line results from the MARINE trial before the end of 2010, ahead of previously stated guidance of such report in early 2011.
In addition, at the date of this release, Amarin has screened all of the patients needed to complete the ANCHOR trial and, accordingly, has ceased screening additional patients. Most of the patients screened have been randomized to dosing cohorts of 2 grams, 4 grams or placebo of AMR101. Additional patients have been screened and are currently progressing through the six-to-eight week run-in period prior to randomization. Amarin now anticipates that it will complete randomization of the 650 patients targeted for the ANCHOR trial before the end of 2010, ahead of previously stated guidance of completing randomization in 2011. The company now expects to report top-line results from the ANCHOR trial in mid-2011.
With less than two months remaining before we expect to learn the results of the MARINE trial, it is a very exciting time at Amarin, commented Joseph Zakrzewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. This can be attributed to the tremendous progress made by our Clinical Development and Operations group as well as the outstanding clinical investigators involved in both the ANCHOR and MARINE studies.

About AMR101 Phase 3 Clinical Trials
The MARINE trial is a multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, 12-week pivotal study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 grams and 4 grams of AMR101 in patients with fasting triglyceride levels greater than or equal to 500 mg/dL. Patients in this trial are characterized as having very high triglyceride levels as per NCEP ATPIII guidelines. Patient randomization in this trial has been completed at 229 patients. The single primary endpoint in the trial is the percentage change in triglyceride level from baseline after 12 weeks of treatment. Following completion of the 12-week double-blind treatment period, patients will be eligible to enter a 40-week, open-label, extension period. Results from the extension period are not required for regulatory approval. The Principal Investigator of the MARINE Study is Harold Bays, M.D., Medical Director Louisville Metabolic and Atherosclerosis Research Center, Kentucky.
The ANCHOR trial is a multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, 12-week pivotal study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 grams and 4 grams of AMR101 in patients with high triglyceride levels between 200 mg/dL and 500 mg/dL who are on statin therapy. Patients in this trial are characterized as having high triglyceride levels with mixed dyslipidemia (two or more lipid disorders). The trial aims to randomize approximately 650 patients into the study. The primary endpoint in the trial is the percentage change in triglyceride level from baseline after 12 weeks of
treatment. This study will also evaluate whether AMR101 is devoid of the LDL-C elevating effects commonly seen in patients with mixed dyslipidemia on statin therapy who take concomitant prescription omega-3 therapies. The Principal Investigator of the ANCHOR study is Christie M. Ballantyne, M.D., Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center, Houston, Texas. No prescription omega-3 based drug, such as AMR101, is currently approved in the U.S. for treating high triglyceride levels in statin-treated patients who have mixed dyslipidemia.
In both the MARINE and ANCHOR trials, all patients undergo a six-to-eight week washout period of lipid altering drugs, as well as diet and lifestyle stabilization, prior to randomization into the 12-week double-blind treatment period. Both the MARINE and ANCHOR trials received Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreements in 2009 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Because the trials address separate and important patient populations the results from one trial may not be indicative of the results of the other trial.
About Amarin
Amarin Corporation plc is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with expertise in lipid science focused on the treatment of cardiovascular disease. The Companys lead product candidate is AMR101 (ethyl icosapentate), which is presently being investigated in two Phase 3 clinical trials, one for the treatment of patients with very high triglyceride levels and the other for the treatment of patients with high triglycerides with mixed dyslipidemia. Both of these Phase 3 trials are conducted under Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreements with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Amarin also has next-generation lipid candidates under evaluation for preclinical development. For more information please visit www.amarincorp.com.

'Game of Thrones' Beefs Up Episodes for Season 3
by Reuters | December 18, 2012 at 9:38 PM | Game of Thrones, General
LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) – As the drama grows on "Game of Thrones," so do the episodes.
HBO's hit fantasy series will air expanded episodes for its third season, a spokeswoman for HBO told TheWrap on Tuesday, with each of the episodes running slightly longer.
"Thrones" co-creator and co-showrunner Dan Weiss told EW.com that nearly an hour of extra material will be included over the course of the season.
"There's almost another full episode's worth of extra minutes spread across the season," Weiss said. "One of the great liberties with HBO is we're not forced to come in at a specific time. We can't be under 50 minutes or over 60, but that gives us a lot of flexibility."
It's understandable that the series would be expanded for its upcoming run. The third season of "Game of Thrones" is based on the first half of "A Storm of Swords," the third novel from George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire"
book series. At 992 pages, it is one of the lengthiest books of the series.
Season 3 of "Game of Thrones" kicks off March 31.

A West Point councilwoman has been arrested after police say they spotted her serving mimosas at a bridal shop she owns in Columbus. The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reports Monday that 41-year-old Judy Wilkinson was handcuffed in front of about 25 customers around 2:30 p.m. Saturday during a showing at Formal Elegance.
A police officer pretended to be shopping for a tuxedo at the store and saw the drinks made of champagne and orange juice being served.
Police say she broke two city ordinances pertaining to possessing alcohol at a business location without a liquor license. A hearing on the charges was postponed until Tuesday after Wilkinson's attorney asked the city to supply a videotape of Wilkinson purchasing her business license at the Columbus Government Center.

Parimala Hariprasad spent her youth studying people and philosophy. By the time she got to work, she was able to put those learnings to create awesome testers.
Parimala makes walking the talk look easy. She has a 'Parimala way' of working and I believe she has a large influence on people working with her.
CEO of Moolya Software Testing Pradeep Soundararajan has utmost confidence in Parimala which is clear in the way he described her in the above lines.
For someone who has seen over 40 rejections in job interviews before becoming a tester, it has not been a cake walk to reach this point. But Parimala, who heads the Startup Test Lab & Academy at Moolya Testing, has earned it all in her 11 years in the industry. Parimala is a perfect blend of skills, right attitude and larger than life vision. Right from her first job at Oracle to her current role at Moolya, she has evolved from being a tester to a flag bearer of the testing community and women in tech.
Here's an interesting account of Parimala's journey on this Women's Day special Techie Tuesdays column.
Adopting 'testing', the step-child of products
For me, testing is like reading a detective story which expects you to make conjectures, study emotions and engulf a lot of technical skills to gather valuable information about products/services,
says Parimala about her profession. But this perception has come after some bitter experiences and over a long period of time.
She graduated from JSS College, Bangalore, in 2003, and joined Oracle as a tester through an off-campus interview after getting rejected by more than 40 companies. In her first few months in the job, she realized her colleagues were not very proud of being a tester, and her friends questioned her decision to opt for testing over programming. She was shattered with this step-motherly treatment for testing in the industry and the lack of understanding among her friends.
Within three months, Parimala developed a lot of interest and curiosity for software testing. Since then she has worked with McAfee, SupportSoft (acquired by Consona) and co-founded Weekend Testing, before joining Moolya. "I like the value testing brings to the table for any product/services. A tester can tell where the product is good and where it falters. Unfortunately, we don't have them in good numbers," she says.
"Software testing is a skilled craft which requires a lot of hard work. Everyone can write but Malcolm Gladwell's writing level is not easy to achieve. Similarly, it takes passion, courage, excellence and hope to become a good tester," she reasons. She further talks about the intricacies of testing. "A tester's job is to find what's wrong with the product which is like a baby to the developers. It needs a lot of empathy, knowledge of cognitive science, investigative skills and the ability to understand the psyche to tell people that the work product is wrong. If a person is not passionate about this he/she will get bored soon and share the negativity with other colleagues as well."
Learning is a lifelong process and not some paper certificate
Parimala thinks that she could have invested more time and education in tools of testing. "Being fluent with programming and tools gives a lot of confidence and makes you a better tester," she says. She realized the importance of interaction with the testing community in 2008 and has attended numerous conferences and workshops since then. Owing to this, she got in touch with many like-minded people and even started a blog, taking classes and started Weekend Testing.
Parimala recalls her biggest challenges of her 11-year-long career, "Getting honest feedback from your mentors and colleagues is tough. Even after asking for it, people don't share it instantly. We understand its importance and hence encourage the culture of sharing feedback in Moolya." Since there are very few women testers, getting attention was an issue for Parimala, but she knew that she had to sit on the table to be heard. During the process, she evolved from being a shy person to becoming an extrovert today.
The only thing which Parimala has carried since she was 15 years is curiosity. Though she is a testing engineer, she reads a lot about design and UX. She affirms her belief,
It's important to keep the child in you alive irrespective of the age. Learning is a lifelong process and not some paper certificate. We have to become better every day.
Life beyond testing
Parimala is driven to make this world a better place to live in. She believes that everything we use for our convenience has been designed and tested by someone. Similarly, she is playing her part to make life easier for future generations. She likes to be professional while interacting because it teaches her to be same irrespective of how the other person behaves. Leadership, honesty, truthfulness and hard work pretty much define her.
When Parimala is not testing, you can find her writing, either for her blog or for testing magazine. She loves traveling and food and plans to do a food tour of India one day. Her children and family have been very supportive and she enjoys spending time with them. Recently, she has developed interest in and started practicing yoga.
Parimala and women in tech
Parimala was the first woman in her family to finish 10th, 12th and college. No other woman from her family had resisted marriage till 26 years of age. She understands the importance of freedom for a young woman and how it affects life thereafter. Parimala says, "Women in our society are pressurized so much in their childhood that by the time they complete education, they start feeling safer in the kitchen as compared to a job outside. Those who're able to keep their ambitions burning crumble under the high demanding environment. After an eight-hour job for women in tech, they are expected to take care of household chores. Failing to match these expectations, they are judged for not being a good mother, wife or daughter-in-law etc."
She adds,
It doesn't matter what lies between your legs and the behavior of the people shouldn't be biased because of this. But all this cannot be changed by giving a 33% reservation to women. We have to create an ecosystem where we treat everyone fairly. Why do we have to ask a woman – how is she balancing family and work? Our biased mindset has to change for the better. We have to make both men and women inclusive about women, in tech and everywhere else.
Parimala was the first female employee at Moolya but she has made sure that the women newcomers get a very conducive environment for growth. She has streamlined the interview process and organizational policies. She states, "Fortunately, Moolya has been very supportive right from the beginning and has given me the freedom and opportunity to do a lot for the testing community & women at work."
Test completed
"It is very important to know why you're doing what you're doing. Do you work because you need the money, or some brownie points or for passion to create a great impact in the lives of people? Just be clear." Parimala believes in clarity and conviction of thoughts. She left our readers with this quote by Dr. Seuss to inspire, innovate and ignite:
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Parimala frequently rants on her blog, Curious Tester. She tweets at @CuriousTester and can be found on Linked as well.
Are you a tester? To what extent does your thoughts resonate with that of Parimala's? Let us know.

Jan van Eyck (between circa 1390 and circa -1441)
Title Untitled, known in English as The Arnolfini Portrait, The Arnolfini Wedding, The Arnolfini Marriage, The Arnolfini Double Portrait, or Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife
Date 1434
Current location National Gallery, London, England
My wedding anniversary is in 2 weeks. My husband died a little over 5 years ago and the numbness wore off about 3 years ago. Last year after I lost my first 25 lbs, I felt a release from some of the paralyzing grief. It was as if that grief had been trapped in the fat and was now gone.
I still grieve for my husband, but I am no longer paralyzed by the grief. I have made great strides in trying to lead a healthier life so that the life I have left can be lived to the fullest.
I have worn myself out trying to appear to be �doing well.� It comes from an old fear of mine, that if I�m not showing progress, if I�m not better than I was before, the _______________ (insert teacher, doctor, child, parent, friend, and colleague) will not like me anymore. I will be just another fat person, and who wants to be friends with me?
For a long time, I would feel furious when people said, �How are you?� to me. I felt like they were pressuring me to say fine, when they must know deep inside that I was not fine, I was in pain and their glibness really infuriated me. But instead of telling people how I was, I would say fine. I�d then be angry with myself for participating in the charade. So I would go home at night and insulate myself from these feelings with the bliss I could achieve with the sugar-salt-fat combo.
I�ve lost that insulation with my new healthy eating habits. I have to admit to myself when I am lonely. I have to recognize that I am sometimes afraid of what my future will be. I make an effort to go places alone so I am forced to �make a friend,� and meet people.
When I am tired, like I am today, it is harder to ward off the loneliness. I miss my husband. I miss him every day and every night. I don�t think I will ever be accustomed to the fact that he has gone. And you know what? I am sick of saying that I am fine when I don�t feel fine.
I am forcing myself to post this blog because I need to overcome the fear that I must always �be fine.� Today I am not fine. And I�ve got to be good with that.

I am so sorry for your loss. You are a beautiful and insightful writer. Reading this made me evaluate my own behavior is asking people "how they are". Thank you for posting this and I am sending you many prayers.

I am so very sorry. My sister died in 1975 and I think of her every day. We were close. As the years have passed, I realize that I will never be "fine" about her death. I am not fine but I try to do an imitation of being fine.
I am sorry but I did not know that you are a widow. I have been with my husband for over 43 years and I know that I cannot live without him. Maybe I can pretend to be "fine" but I don't think I ever will be.
And when I talk to people, which is rare, I'd rather hear the true story than the reassuring bromides and platitudes that we are expected to share.
I'll be especially thinking about you in the next weeks to come. Anniversaries are significant to me, no matter how much I try to persuade myself that they should not carry so much freighted weight.

LIsbeth, as always, thanks for sharing the beautiful artwork, and for being so expressive. As you can see from the responses, you've touched a lot of people.
I think that even if you don't improve any more than you have today, you have already accomplished so much and I'm sure people will like you for who you are. In yoga, they talk about the True Self which is deeper than appearances, actions and words.You're True Self is beautiful.
I hope you will continue to grow, and feel more comfortable being yourself.

More people are sad and lonely for loss is hard ... I still mourn many things in my life when anniversaries or remembrances roll around. Emotions are water ... just let the rivers run so that the stream doesn't get clogged up. You are honest with your feelings. I know if people say 'how are you' to me... I actually start telling them how I really feel. So many say "that's nice" just after I told them something sad.... But there are many who are interested, and I do discriminate my answers lest I alienate everyone!
Glad you are able to express yourself so clearly and have a lot friends who do care about you on SP! One day at a time...

There is nothing that will ever fill the hole he left in your heart, but it will mend in time. Be patient with yourself and as kind as you would be with a friend in the same situation. It really takes courage to open up and tell people that you are not fine, you're heartbroken. The ask you without a thought for how you are really feeling wanting only the assurance that you are fine, so they can forget about you for the time. I got so bitter when I first developed Osteoarthrits and an amputated lower left leg, that I would get bitter and say "Do you really want to know, or is this being polite only? Its amazing how many ignored my question and just continued on their merry way never actually wanting to know if you are okay or not.
But you are not fine, and you did a fine job of letting us know so we can all draw closer and love and encourage you God's Blessing to you

It doesn't get better, but it does get easier. And opening up is such a hard thing to do - but an important step. And when lonely and sad, it is almost impossible to reach out to let people know.

Lizbeth, sorry to hear about your husband. I totally can relate how you feel. I too lost my husband 5 years ago with cancer. At the time, I didn't know what to do.. but luckily, I've met sincere person and I now are remarried. I don't know what I can tell you to encourage you..
only I can say now is hang in there... sorry..

Thank you so much for sharing this. There is a woman in one of my social groups who lost her husband 12 years ago in a traffic accident, and I suspect that she feels the same way. But if you ask her how she is - you get a curt "fine." I end up feeling really sorry I asked - it's not a rewarding reply.
I think some people really do want to know how you are doing, and don't really mean it on a superficial level. They may not know any other way to ask you. Then again I have to admit that it is simply a social way to say hi, and a lot of people don't really want to know. I suppose the trick is to know the difference.
I am truly sorry that you feel such loneliness. I am such a complicated person that I do not know how I would manage without my husband, and I suspect I would feel exactly the same way that you do. I know that I do feel that way when he is away traveling.
I think it is brave of you to come out and say so. Most people in your situation won't or don't admit it and just bottle it up. Thank you for your vulnerability because we are virtual friends here.

Lis thank you for admitting to us that your not always okay and need our support to feel better as sometimes you probably retreat to a "dark" place that only you know. I understand how there still is a big void in your life. I know that has to be normal as you cared and loved your DH for so many years and it's still painful when you think of him and want him still there with you. I've only been married once and that was for 26 years to my college sweetheart, well to make a long story short it didn't work out and I remember when going through my divorce and for years after it was so hard to start making my own life for myself and my sons. I felt such a wide void and felt even my family didn't truly understand how lonely I felt and still do at times. I'm happy I have my sons nearby and my 2 precious GKs, sisters and a few close friends. But, in spite of having all these people still in my life I do feel lonely and it's hard having to always rely on myself and not have a man to be with and help make my life richer and happier. I truly wish I had found the love of my life to share things with until death do us die. But, it wasn't in the cards for me and now no man would want me as I'm too old and still have responsibilities here at home. Sorry to go on so about myself and somehow your sharing your feelings have brought mine up to the surface as believe me it's not something I usually share or admit to. If you ever
need a friend to talk to just let me know and I can arrange to call you or we can exchange messages. I want you to feel less lonely and I'd also be helping myself. Take good care and I'll say a prayer for you tonight.
Hugs & Love,

Thank you for sharing your heart and soul with us. It is challenging and pretty scary when our lives change.

I recently lost one of my sons in a car wreck and now that my injuries are mostly healed, I fend off the "How are you?" questions with "Okay" or "fair". If someone really cares, they will inquire further, but I feel that mostly it is just an automatic greeting -- "Hi, how are you."
The other part of that is that if you really lay it out for them, maybe they will be less likely to ask, so perhaps that is the answer.
Hang in there and maybe some day you can say "fine" and mean it.

Thank you so much for sharing with us! I still have my husband, but we lost our oldest son 19 years ago. He was 27 at the time, and like you, there isn't a day that goes by that we don't miss him and feel lonesome without him. I don't have any answers for you...the others have done a fine job of responding. I'm just here to say there are others who care (even those who automatically ask that "How are you?" question care...most don't know your story and usually it is too hard to tell it). Sending you hugs and warm thoughts and wishes for peaceful and fulfilled days ahead. Some will be better than others, but coming forth like this is a wonderful start on that path!! Hugs, Jeannie

In today's busy world, most people do ask "how are you" and they are just acknowledging that you are there. They really don't care. And that is a sad thing. However, if I ask you, I honestly want to know and I know a lot of other people that feel the same way. Many, many people on Spark are the same way. We are not only here to lose weight, but to be compassionate, friendly and loving. When you are not fine, we care. I have found that I have become a bit outspoken lately, but I feel it's the only way some people actually hear me. So please, when you are not fine and need someone to talk with, please write to me--I am here-promise!
I have heard that a person never dies until you stop thinking about them. So your husband will never be gone. He will always be there for you, watching over you and loving you. So miss him, continue to love him, even yell at him for leaving you, but you must also move on and love yourself. (hugs) Noel

If everyday of our lives was a "FINE" day we would probably be in paradise.
My husband died suddenly at 45 yrs. old. My daughter was 16 and devastated, I hurt but I got over it sooner than her. But even now 30 years later, I am angry that he died.and I wish he was still around to see his grandsons and be part of the family.
I have had companions in the years but have never remarried.
People ask me if I am lonely. And I can honestly say, NO. I have family, friends, many activities, a loving dog and I am at peace in my life. Time , it takes time to find your place. Especially for s long married person.
women adjust to the emptiness of single life better than men. I think that is because of our women friends.
Sometimes when people ask me how are you doing. I pause and think do you really ant to hear how I ache and hear about how mixed up things are right now???
I end up saying , "Oh everything is OK".
I realize people are just trying to be friendly. I find myself asking the same questions at times. And I know I don't want to hear about ailments. Unless it's a close friend.
So I hope you can get to a comfortable place. And the not fine times will be less and less.. But I know they will always be the off days. We just have to get through them.
Glad you have Spark, you can always reach out to your virtual friends.
Take care,

gosh thats hard. sometimes its the grocery clerk and I just have to force a fake 'fine' because they know and i know they dont really want to hear about my life- its just what you say in a customer service job. when i am openly sullen looking and some cheery twerp at say wlagreens chirps 'hi how ya doin today' i sometimes just flat out ignore them. yeah i guess that rude, but hey i feel like they are being intrusive so there. but if its a friend, doctor, teacher, im sure they do care and its ok to say, 'not so great today, but thanks for asking' its not your job to be nicey nice to everyone,all the time. its real- its life.
sorry to hear you still miss your husband, he must have been a great guy!

Loss is hard , Saturday was the anniversary of my Grandpa's death, he was the only father I knew.. but for my grandma after 60 + years she still misses him so.She still cries and needs support and love ..I so understand that part of it.
So my friend.. I accept what you have to say at face value.. When you are tired it does seem to make things seem worse. This is a moment for you .. a moment you will look back on...
I hope you can find a moment of peace for you ..

I Don't Know How I Do ItAmy Corbett Storch
I am not a morning person. I hate mornings. I loathe mornings. I have never in my life woken up to see the sunrise of my own free will, because…well, eff you, sunrise, that's why. You're boring and horrible. I'm going back to bed.
If you had asked my husband and me for our respective Biggest Parenthood Fears before we had kids, I'm sure his would have been something about not being a good provider or having enough patience or whatever. Mine was: I don't like waking up early.
And it was a shock for awhile, when I'd do that half-wake-up thing on early Saturday morning, remember that it was Saturday morning, awwwwwwwww hell YEAH Saturday morning, roll back over to sleep in, and…WAH. WAH. MAMA. MOMMY. MOO-OOO-OM.
But oh, my God, there are just so MANY of them now. There's always SOMEONE waking up early and deciding it's a good time to 1) poop, 2) throw up, 3) cry, 4) see what happens when you poke Mommy's eyeballs, 5) play a nice quiet game of MONSTER CAR CRASHES IN SPACE KABOOOOOOMMM, or 6) sneak downstairs and provide an early morning soundtrack of mysteriously alarming crashes, bangs, uh-ohs, booms and…is that the coffee grinder? Jeeeeesus sakes alive.
But school has raised my hatred of mornings to a new level. I now have two children to send off to school every morning. Two children who suddenly have decided they also do not wish to get out of bed EVER. Two children who are the slowest dressers/breakfast eaters/shoe-putter-on-ers on the planet.
Two children who of course need to be in two different places at two different times, with two different sets of school accoutrements (backpacks, lunchbox, snack, folders, permission slips, etc.), PLUS A NURSING BABY OH RIGHT HIM, and…I, me, myself, the world's most cranky and non-functional human being on earth, am the one in charge.
Every morning I feel like I'm shortchanging somebody: Noah gets snapped at because he's refusing to get out of bed, Ezra goes to school with his shorts on backwards because I'm too distracted to notice, Ike wails from his bouncy seat because he's hungry but I MUST get breakfast on the table for his brothers if they have any chance to even eat half of it before I'm barking at everybody to GET OVER HERE TO THE FRONT DOOR RIGHT NOW I AM LEAVING WITHOUT YOU SO HELP ME. (Luckily no one has been going to school long enough to point out the many levels of ridiculousness in that threat. YET.)
Someone doesn't get as good of a breakfast as I'd like, something gets left behind on the counter instead of getting put in the proper backpack, we're the jackasses running full-tilt to the bus stop as everybody else is boarding, or I have to ask the babysitter (who doesn't arrive until the tail end of all this nonsense) to drive Ezra to school instead of taking him myself, even though I KNOW he's going to cry and I desperately want to be the one there to comfort him, but…the baby. I have to nurse the baby. I'm so sorry, buddy. I'll drive you tomorrow, I PROMISE.
I just…feel like I'm really BAD at this morning business. Still. Just like I was always afraid I'd be.
And predictably enough, the mornings when I breathe a sigh of relief and mentally congratulate on a job well done are the mornings I've managed to shortchange only myself. Sure, I had to skip my shower and my coffee…but we made it to the bus stop with minutes to spare. Okay, so I showed up at Ezra's preschool in pajama pants and spit-up on my shirt…but the baby got to nurse off both boobs before we left and I didn't rush him through it. So I catch the sight of my make-up-less face in the rearview mirror and see the face of someone much older than I am, someone who needs to moisturize/pluck her eyebrows/get her roots done, someone who looks SO TIRED…I did it. I made it through another morning. I got goodbye hugs and kisses from fed, happy boys and smiles from a fed, happy baby and I did it all before I would have even been out of bed, in my previous life of no kids and flex time.
(And then, of course, it's time to get to…you know, "work." Because everything up until the minute I opened the laptop was a damn vacation.)
Some day I know it will get better: The kids won't need so much help from me, or any help at all, and I'll be able to bump myself back up the priority list and not be seen in public looking like a hungover swamp monster. I'll be able to sleep in on the weekends if I want to. Ohhh, that will be so nice.
And yet…because this is motherhood we're talking about, where there may be winners but YOU are never one of them: That vision is sadly muddled with a future version of me, waking up early anyway just to be there when they go, perhaps standing in the kitchen begging someone to let me scramble a damn egg for them, please, guys? Please?

Yes, you easiest way to create the illusions of a recessed floor is to draw the floor as a multiploy with a 'hole' in the centre.
Create a new sheet for the 'Lower Floor' and place a multiploy there representing the lower floor.
On the 'upper floor' give a sheet effect of a glow to create the impression of shadow going down.
As the Floorplan Issue, I would need to play a little with this to recreate what you have happening.

itinerary help for travels to Belgium,Switzerland,Italy in June
I'm at the beginning stages of planning a family trip (me,hubs,22 and 17 yr old). I am not sure about the best order in which to see things for ease of flight planning and train travel between places. I plan to visit Brussels,Bruges,Zurich,Murren,Venice,Florence,Rome and maybe Naples. This is about a 12-14 day trip from mid-late June. I haven't figured out the amount of time in each location. I'm not sure if it would be best to start in southern Italy and train north with a flight possible somewhere in the middle for time or directness purposes or if flying into Zurich or Brussels (from California) is best for price/convenience. I am open to changing the towns but this is my favorite plan right now. I would love to hear suggestions so I can plan a smooth and interesting trip. The kids haven't been to Europe before but hubs and I have travelled to Italy and used the trains.
Thanks all

More mixed data has come out today from NZ as well, like second consecutive month showing a deflationary rate of -0.2% for the month of Dec in food price index, coming from a previous one of -0.8%, something that is not supportive for further RBNZ rate hikes. Housing price figures were also worse than expected, showing a -0.6% decrease in the REINZ HPI Dec data month to month, when consensus was around the +1.4%.
Immediate resistance to the upside for NZD/USD shows at mentioned double intraday high so far at 0.8442, followed by Jan 10 highs at 0.8460, and Dec 14 year 2012 highs at 0.8476. To the downside, closest support lies at Jan 09 highs 0.8411, followed by Jan 07 highs at 0.8380, and Jan 08 lows at 0.8332.

Could 'Goose Juice' cure parvovirus in dogs?
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The mild winter may have been good for us, but for local animals shelters it meant an increase in the number of dogs with the parvovirus. Cold weather kills off the bacteria.
The KC Pet Project has treated 30 puppies so far this year, which is a significant increase.
A new vaccine called Parvo One is showing signs it might be a cure. It was created by a North Dakota company that was trying to find a way to treat a dying flock of geese. They discovered antibodies in geese could treat parvo.
So the nickname "Goose Juice," staff members at the KC Pet Project gave the treatment, is very fitting. It also cuts treatment time down from two weeks to two days.
"The treatment has gone really, really well for all of those we have given the treatment to, so we're really thrilled to be one of the shelters that's participating in this," said Tori Fugate, with the KC Pet Project.
The KC Pet Project is one of eight shelters in the country chosen for the test trials.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture believes the treatment will be available to the public next year.

County considers adding warning sirens
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
Cole County commissioners are looking for more information before deciding where or if warning sirens should be installed in the county.
At Monday's commission meeting, Cole County Emergency Management Director Bill Farr said each siren would cost the county around $25,000.
No money was set aside specifically for sirens in the half-cent capital improvement sales tax that voters approved last year. Farr said they had looked to get grant funding to pay for the sirens, but couldn't get any.
Currently, the county owns no warning sirens.

THQ Ships The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer Game
THQ Inc. has shipped globally THE INCREDIBLES: RISE OF THE UNDERMINER videogame for play on PlayStation2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS and Windows PC/Mac. This is the followup to the hit videogame, THE INCREDIBLES, inspired by a Walt Disney Pictures presentation of a Pixar Animations Studios film, THE INCREDIBLES.
THQs original THE INCREDIBLES videogame, which launched in conjunction with the film's theatrical release in November 2004, exceeded five million units shipped, and the title was the best-selling new property of 2004 in the U.S., according to The NPD Group Inc.
"THQ is extremely excited to bring fans of THE INCREDIBLES a new adventure that picks up where the film and the first installment of the game ended," said Jack Sorensen, evp of Worldwide Studios, THQ. "Game developer Heavy Iron's collaboration with the team at Pixar illustrates the commitment our companies have to delivering an experience that is true to THE INCREDIBLES world."
"The first game based on THE INCREDIBLES truly complemented the high action vision director Brad Bird had for the film," said Pixar Animation Studios John Walker, producer of THE INCREDIBLES. "THE INCREDIBLES: RISE OF THE UNDERMINER continues where the film left off, challenging gamers to explore a whole new dimension of THE INCREDIBLES world."
Gameplay has superheroes Mr. Incredible and Frozone journeying underground to confront the Underminer's robot minions and stop his diabolical plot to pollute the major cities of the world. The all-new, co-operative multiplayer action allows players to work as a team with the ability to change characters at any time while competing for points to upgrade their special moves and superpowers.
THQ's Heavy Iron Studios developed THE INCREDIBLES and the company's Helixe studio developed the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS versions.

Pop star brings a spectacle to sold-out crowd at Valley View center
Taylor Swift San Diego set list
1. "State of Grace"
2. "Holy Ground"
3. "Red"
4. "You Belong with Me"
5. "The Lucky One"
6. "Mean"
7. "22"
8. "Fifteen"

12. "I Knew You Were Trouble"
13. "All Too Well"
14. "Love Story"
15. "Treacherous"
16. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"
queen of the radio — was purple, and sassy Selena Gomez had orange? Adele and her sad songs got black, while Katy Perry got pink — bright pink. And though Rihanna would seem like the most likely candidate for red (thanks to her racy Instagrams), she'd have to wait in line behind Taylor Swift.
Because Swift, also known as America's unicorn, she's the current holder of all things red.
Her latest album, one that sold more than a million copies in its first week, is called "Red." Her worldwide tour, which made its first California stop at Valley View Casino Center on Thursday night, is appropriately titled "The Red Tour." And practically everyone in the sold-out crowd of 11,000 wore something red — whether it was light-up skirts or glittery nail polish.
"Red is the color of crazy emotions," Swift said into her glittery red microphone. "And I think having these crazy emotions in your life makes you better."
The singer was referring to the crazy emotions of love, a topic that dominates almost all of her songs. Whether she's falling in love, anticipating love, falling out of love, crying over love or even ignoring love, Swift has a song about it.
There was the old Hollywood motif complete with dancers dressed like paparazzi for "The Lucky One." She sang about missed connections, wearing a swingy red dress, during a jazzed-up version of "You Belong with Me." In a pony tail and striped-tee, she brought out her hipster entourage and was carried through the crowd for a peppy version of "22." And who can forget the aerialist drummers during "Higher Ground"?
Throughout the night there were also eye-popping elements like red flags, red sparkly violins, acrobats, sparks, confetti, candelabras, floating stages and sparkly red shoes. And that's not even including all the costume changes — from princess dresses to form-fitting shorts. Swift even changed in the middle of singing "Trouble," stripping off a heavy Victorian-inspired gown to reveal tight, black hot pants and top.
Usually at a pop show, so much glitz and costume changing is a way to cover a singer's lack of vocal abilities, or to hide the blandness of a song. And maybe all that stuff was needed when Swift first began her career.
But even since her last performance here two years ago, Swift's vocals have become stronger and more confident. Now she bats her flirty eyes at the crowd. She also takes her glittery red guitar to a small stage toward the back of the arena and performs heartfelt songs like "Fifteen" and "Begin Again" without the glitz of the main stage.
And she uses this growing confidence to send empowering messages to young fans. Swift talked about bullying and mean comments to a crowd filled with middle-school girls, telling them those things still happen to her. "People are going to be mean to you, it's going to happen," she said and then launched into a version of "Mean."
Swift was rewarded with an adoring audience throughout all 16 songs. The loudest cheering was for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," a finale so grand it included clowns, stilt-walkers, ballerinas and heart-shaped confetti that flew into the crowd. Confetti that girls stuffed into their pockets to save as mementos. Confetti that was, of course, red.

Life in the fast lane is slowing down along Interstate 70.
Transportation experts say 15,000 vehicles passed through the Eisenhower Tunnel daily in 1985. That's nearly doubled to 28,000 as of 2001.
They predict 41,000 will pass through by the year 2025 with 63 thousand on Saturdays alone.
Stop and go traffic is a common sight already during ski season or summer holidays. Experts say there's no relief in sight.
Plans for a monorail were shot-down a few years ago and officials say it would be difficult to add lanes to the highway.

The renovation of the Mills County Historical Museum is a work in progress, but a major portion of the remodel has been completed just in time for a grand reopening this weekend during the annual Keg Creek Day celebration.
Major renovation work has been taking place at the museum and the surrounding campus at Glenwood Lake Park over the past six months.
Dorothy Buch didn't need time to think of an answer when asked recently what the secret was to reaching her 100th birthday.
The Linnwood Estates assisted living resident answered the question with one word – vinegar.
"My little secret is vinegar," Dorothy said. "Every morning, since I was 25, I drink vinegar, about a teaspoon. I put it in a little glass with about two tablespoons of water. Vinegar is a cleanser and it gets rid a lot of bacteria. I tell people I get pickled every morning."
Incumbent Theresa Romens and two other candidates will compete for a pair of seats on the Glenwood Community School District Board of Directors in the Sept. 8 school board elections.
Romens, who has served on the Glenwood school board since 2004 and as president since 2008, along with Henry Clark and Curt Becker have filed the necessary paperwork to seek the two at-large seats open this year in Glenwood.
Clark previously served on the school board from 2009-2012.
The Glenwood Police Department is investigating an incident in the Glenwood Plaza parking lot that resulted in a passenger who fell from the bed of a pickup truck being taken by medical helicopter to an Omaha hospital.
A standing-room only crowd was on hand Friday morning at Tom and Tiff's restaurant in Glenwood to greet Wisconsin Gov. and Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker.
Walker, currently running in second place behind Donald Trump in Republican tracking polls, spent more than an hour shaking hands, posing for photos and engaging in conversation as he made his way through the restaurant. Walker's appearance was strictly a "meet and greet" with no formal speech.
The director of Anchor Family Services in Glenwood said the business' founder and former executive director Suzan Griswold made "an honest mistake" that was self-reported to state officials and he expects her to be fully exonerated of criminal charges.
Griswold, 51, of Elkhorn, Neb., is charged with ongoing criminal conduct, a Class B felony punishable by up to 25 years in prison; and fraudulent practice in the first degree, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $1,000 - $10,000.
The staff at Glenwood Family Dentistry is settling in at its new location – the former Glenwood City Hall building at 107 S. Locust St.
Glenwood Family Dentistry, owned and operated by Dr. Paul Albertson, was started in the early 1970s by Dr. Dennis Gray who retired five years ago. The practice was previously housed at 514 First St.
"The other building was over 100 years old and had been kind of cobbled together," Dr. Albertson said. "It wasn't designed to be a dental office, so we always had to retrofit things to get it to work.
Sunny skies and swimming-like temperatures prevailed Friday as city officials and other dignitaries took part in a formal ground breaking ceremony for the Glenwood Aquatic Center.
The 8,700 square-foot facility will be built on land adjacent to a new gymnasium going up at Glenwood Community High School. Glenwood city administrator Brian Kissel told the crowd gathered at Friday's ceremony that construction will take about a year.
The owner of a Glenwood business that provides community-based, Medicaid-funded mental health and support services to children and adults, is facing felony charges following an investigation by the Mills County Attorney's Office and Iowa Department of Inspection and Appeals.
It appears Glenwood is finally going to get its aquatic center.
Following a public hearing Monday night at City Hall, the Glenwood City Council cleared the final financial hurdle by approving up to $600,000 in additional general obligation bond funding for construction of an 8,700 square-foot swimming center that will be built on land adjacent to a new gymnasium under construction at Glenwood Community High School.

University High coach Burke Broussard was grasping for words after his team's latest win.
The Cubs coach had just witnessed his team rally from a three-run deficit after being shut out through the first five innings. Starting pitcher John Lewis (4-0) also tossed 121 pitches to help U-High to a 4-3 win against Dunham (17-8) in a District 7-2A baseball game Saturday afternoon at U-High.
"I'm proud of my guys, man," Broussard said. "That was one of the gutsiest performances in 25 years. Anytime you can beat a team of the quality of them, you've got to be satisfied."
It wasn't just the win that pleased Broussard, but the way the Cubs (19-5) went about it.
U-High had just two hits off Dunham starter Ryan May going into the bottom of the sixth inning and trailed, 3-0. With a little bit of a luck and some clutch hitting, the Cubs put five of the next six batters on base, scoring four runs in the inning.
Jake Wharton led off the rally by reaching first on a fielding error, and Gino Marucci moved him to second with a single to right field. Steven Sensley was then hit by a pitch to load the bases.
A flyout to right field gave the Cubs two outs in the inning, but the runs started pouring in soon after.
"You've got to try to manufacture runs against a guy like May, who is pounding the strike zone with three pitches," Broussard said. "We just tried to make contact, and we did that. We got clutch hitting when we needed it."
Jake Alexander drew a five-pitch walk to bring in the first run, and a second scored on a passed ball as all runners advanced. Manny Miles then shot a two-strike double into center field to clear the bases and give University its first lead.
Broussard contemplated whether he wanted to bring starting pitcher Lewis back for the seventh inning. After a brief deliberation with the right-hander, Lewis took the mound to close the game.
"I just decided we were going to go with him," Broussard said. "I owed this to him to see if he can get out of it. I was looking at him, reading his body language and noticed he still had good pop on the ball, so we just decided to stay with him. I'm glad we did."
The decision paid off. Fifteen pitches later, Lewis had secured a win for the Cubs, who improved to 4-1 in Disrict 7-2A. Based on the way Lewis' outing started, it's even more impressive he lasted until the final inning.
Dunham knocked Lewis around early, chalking up two runs on three hits in the opening inning.
"You've got to put it behind you," Lewis said of his first inning. "You can't be thinking about the last pitch. It's always the next pitch. I just focused on getting the next pitch over the plate and hitting my spot. Patience was key."
Peyton Finical, who was 3-for-3, drove in one run in the first inning and helped start the rally that led to the Tigers' third run in the sixth inning. Designated hitter Foster Degeneres was 2-for-3 and scored Dunham's final run on a fielder's choice.
Lewis, who recorded 12 strikeouts, faced a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the fourth inning that he worked his way out of thanks to a diving catch in center field by Marucci, who came up throwing to put out Ellis at the plate and end the threat.
"I knew I had a good defense, so I was just pitching for contact and hitting my spots," Lewis said. "I've been waiting for this game all season, so I just went out there pumped up about it."
Dunham racked up nine hits, but fell to 3-2 in district.
"I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a tough loss, but it was a great ballgame," said Dunham coach Joey Thibodeaux. "We had our chances early. If we would have had a little better at-bats early, we could have maybe created a little more distance between us, and it may not have come down to that last inning.
"But hey, my hat goes off to those guys as well as mine. I thought both teams played hard."

LOUDON, N.H. - Major Formula Car style racing is returning to New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2011.
Track management announced Sunday morning that the Izod IndyCar Series will return to NHMS for an event on July 31, 2011.
Speedway Motorsports Inc. chairman and CEO Bruton Smith, NHMS executive vice-president and general manager Jerry Gappens, Indy Racing Leauge CEO Randy Bernard and former Izod IndyCar Series champion Dario Franchitti were on hand to make the announcement.
"We're pleased to restore an IndyCar short oval to the schedule to further increase our diversity of venues," Bernard said. "As evident last weekend [at Iowa Speedway], our cars produce tremendous racing on short ovals. Additionally, New Hampshire Motor Speedway is strategically located in the Northeast, which fills a geographical gap in our schedule. I have to thank Bruton Smith and Jerry Gappens for giving us a great opportunity here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway."
Franchitti, a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner and two-time Izod IndyCar Series champion, will take three demonstration laps in an IndyCar around the 1.058-mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway oval prior to the running of today's Sprint Cup Series Lenox Industrial Tools 301.
There has been much speculation of late that Smith could be taking one of the two Sprint Cup Series events at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to another SMI track. Gappens emphasized during the press conference announced the IndyCar event that the track was happy to be announcing a third major event at the facility.
"This is three years in the making," Gappens said. "As an Indiana native and a fan of open-wheeled racing, I strongly believe that the people of New Hampshire will embrace this new breed of speed much like they do NASCAR."
The former CART ChampCar World Series competed at New Hampshire Motor Speedway from 1992 through 1995. Bobby Rahal, Nigel Mansel, Al Unser Jr. and Andre Ribeiro won ChampCar events at the track.
The IndyCar Series held three events at the track from 1996-1998 with current Sprint Cup Series start Tony Stewart winning the last event at the track on June 28, 1998. Norwalk native Scott Sharp won the IndyCar Series event at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 1996 and Robbie Buhl won in 1997.
Gappens said he would like to see the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour run at the track in conjunction with the event, but nothing has been finalized with NASCAR about bringing the division in for the event.

Surrey's Stuart Meaker: Somerset will still be dangerous without Trescothick
11:55 03 May 2012
EMPICS Sport
Clydesdale Bank Pro40: Surrey v Somerset, The Oval, May 4
Surrey bowler Stuart Meaker is wary of the batting power of Somerset when the two sides meet in the Clydesdale Bank Pro40 match tomorrow, despite the absence of opening batsman Marcus Trescothick.
The former England opener has been ruled out for six weeks with an ankle injury but the West Country side still have the likes of Nick Compton, who has scored 479 runs so far this campaign.
"Marcus Trescothick is their talisman but, even without him, they are still a very potent, well drilled side," Meaker told London24.
"They've got a lot of performing batsmen and strong players in their side. They've got good strength in their squad.
"Their biggest concern perhaps might be with their bowling.
"We're not going to look at that and say it will be an easy win by any means.
"They've proven that they are a potent force in cricket.
"We'll look at these guys and probably say they will be knocking around finals and semi-finals so if we can get one on them early on it shows we can continues our one-day form."
Friday's clash at The Oval is a rematch of the Lord's final last year, where the Londoners emerged victorious by 15 runs on the Duckworth Lewis method.
"It will be a massive game," Meaker admitted.
"It will be interesting to see what the conditions are.
"They've got a few injuries in their side but that will be a massive game for us.
"Traditionally we have adjusted fairly well to the shorter format and we've adapted quite quickly.
"We're a good one-day side as we proved last year."
Surrey have drawn two of their opening four County Championship games, winning against Sussex in the opening round before losing against London rivals Middlesex by three runs.
The matches against Worcestershire and Durham were drawn, with rain dominating both of these games.
"It's been a bit stop-start and a bit frustrating," Meaker revealed.
"It's almost as if we haven't hit the ground running. Pre-season it was almost as if were playing in mid-July and then all of a sudden this has come from absolutely nowhere.
"We were glad to get that win against Sussex under the belt.
"We were gutted to lose to Middlesex after it was there for the taking but it didn't pan out that way but they played well on the final day.
"Then two drawn games.
"I think we'll be happy with where we are. Getting a win under our belt is massive for our confidence.
"Albeit we're in a position where we've not got as many points as we would like, we haven't ashamed ourselves."
