Skip to comments.Best and Cheapest Source for Atorvastatin
Posted on 03/17/2012 6:38:36 PM PDT by Mean Daddy
Just looking for some Freeper help on where the best and cheapest place to purchase Atorvastatin (generic Lipitor) is. Would be interested in online, clubs (Sam's Club) etc.
Before Lipitor went generic I was getting the generic from Canada. Cheaper than my copayments plus, if you buy in quantity (100 of more pills), the pharmacy ships free.
If you're interested, I'll give you the link.
If you'd like to consider an alternative...
That would be great and I have noticed that the cheapest prices are Canada, but I thought it was illegal to purchase from their. Do you use a credit card?
Atorvastatin's improvement in efficacy over simvastatin is slight. I wouldn't pay much more for it.
That stuff is horrible for you. Probably give you diabetes.
A comparison of atorvastatin, pravastatin and simvastatin, based on their effectiveness against placebos, found that, at commonly prescribed doses, there are no statistically significant differences among agents in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.[14]^ Zhou Z, Rahme E, Pilote L (2006). "Are statins created equal? Evidence from randomized trials of pravastatin, simvastatin, and atorvastatin for cardiovascular disease prevention". Am. Heart J. 151 (2): 27381. doi:10.1016/j.ahj.2005.04.003. PMID 16442888.
Same here for the Canada don't think that generic has made it onto anyone's $4 list yet. Or get your doc to give you another statin that is on one of the $4 list or $10 for 3 months that seem to be the rage now. All 4 of my BP meds are on the Walgreens list only 3 of them on everybody elses.
Cut sugar out of your diet and you won't need statins.
Do they have Viagra? Just asking.
Statins damage your liver and deplete your coenzyme Q10 levels. Please get your liver enzymes checked every 3 months.
I don't need it, so I never asked. LOL
Go to the Pfizer website and download a coupon for 12 months at $4/month for name brand Lipitor II've been using it at Walmart since January.
I'm with the "get a Rx for a cheaper statin" crowd. Buying medication out-of-country is a crapshoot at best. You may get the medicine, you may get pressed cornstarch, or you may get something worse. Much worse.
"That stuff is horrible for you. Probably give you diabetes.."
My cardiologist said that's not true. You are most likely to develop diabetes from poor eating habits and no exercise. However, it is true that the liver has to be monitored via blood tests periodically because there is a chance of liver damage. For the record, I've been taking dragons for five years now with no problems. In fact, given my weakened heart, I believe Lipitor and other meds have saved my life.
Depends on the pharmacy you are dealing with. The one I use in Canada either sends the meds itself or gets them from western Europe or even the US. No third world countries. And yes, I had a friend who works in a lab test some Plavix I received from this pharmacy and it was legit.
They stopped doing that several years ago because the actual incidence of liver problems is so low. Sure, they may throw in an LFT order on a serum test for another reason but it's not required. On the CoQ10, it does seem to be essential for me to take the supplements otherwise I get the myalgias.
I have ordered and taken RX from Ranbaxy and another Indian pharmaceutical company with no problems. They are actually working QA harder than the western companies in some ways. Some drugs are much cheaper others about the same.
I'm glad you've had a good experience so far, but there are other considerations. Off the top of my head:
1. If Walgreen's or CVS screws up, you know where to find them. If these guys fornicate the canine, you'd have a harder time.
2. Are these guys going to call your doctor if they find a potential medication interaction? Do they even have your Rx information beyond the atorvastatin?
i hate statins. i have heart disease in the family so a reading of 241 was a concern to my doctor, who is a trained lipotologist, in the past year, with exercise, losing 20 pounds, watching my diet but not fanatically so and taking 2000mg of niacin every night (from a place in oregon) and 2 red rice yeast capsules. it is at 183.
Hubby uses the same card at Walgreens. As far as I know everyone accepts it.
$4 co-pay card
any truth to the claim that lipitor degrades mental function. if so is there an alternative that doesn't do that.
Are you trying to kill yourself?
The FDA now requires a warning on statins that they can cause increased blood sugar levels - http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/28/us-fda-statins-idUSTRE81R1O220120228
I developed Type II diabetes 3 years into taking Lipitor. I also experienced muscle wasting, memory loss, and pain in my joints. Statins are toxic, and do nothing to increase longevity. Cholesteral is NOT the boogie man in heart disease. High cortisol levels are a much more accurate indicator of heart disease risk.
I've been taking CoQ10 for years, but I never figured out what the best dosage is. I take a few vitamins daily, plus fish oil and raw bee pollen, but never been a megadose guy. Do you happen to know an effective but conservative recommended dose for CoQ10? Thanks.
What is the niacin for?
How much CoQ10 per day do you take?
Save your money, save your life and eat the way you were designed to eat.-Wb
I agree with that cholesterol. My DH eats at least 15 pounds of meat a week mostly beef plus 2 gallons or more ice cream. 32 inch waist. He is a Yankee though,we don't fry food and he likes his veggies crunchy,lol.
I never believed eggs were bad for you,they have stuff in them that cleans arteries. But I fell for that low meat/high carb crap they came out with 20 years or whatever ago. The low salt is crap too unless you have a serious condition.
I had my Dr. write me a paper prescription for one medication because the co-pay was so high. I told him I was going to order it from a Canadian pharmacy that gets drugs from India. He was dubious.
I ordered two other drugs from my insurance pharmacy and when them came they were relabeled and in non-original bottles, but they had the manufacturer name on them. I looked it up on the internet and shockingly, both were made in India.
Here's a link with some information I believe is important to know. It isn't the only source out there so you don't have to rely only on this one.
Some of the mail order companies are "more than a little bit shady." I have used Northwest for 3 years. Their ethical standards are excellent. Although I have Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance on some items it is much cheaper to order them from Northwest and simply pay for the drug. Northwest uses only high quality generic drugs supplied from only reputable drug manufacturers.
1. This pharmacy is licensed in Canada. I even checked with the licensing agency. The pharmacy is in good standing with few substantive complaints, and they havd an excellent record for resolving whatever complaints there are. When a problem arose with one of my meds, I spoke by telephone with a live person who was more than eager go help. Nut other meds come through an insurance pharmacy supplier in the US, and I've never had such good service with this US supplier as I've had with this Canadian outfit.
2. You're right; the company doesn't ask for a list of your other meds, but my doctor has a list which he consults before prescribing even the meds I've taken since 2007. When your doctor prescribes a new med, you should ask him or her if it will work with your other meds, even nonprescription items like vitamins or pain relievers.
Statins have terrible side effects and lowering cholesterol has proven to be of little, if any, benefit......http://www.naturalnews.com/z035249_hardening_of_the_arteries_cranberries_remedies.html
Same pharmacy I use. Started with them last year when I entered the Medicare coverage gap and my Medicare supplier informed me I would have to pay $200 to $300 for a 90 day supply of two name brand drugs, Plavix and Lipitor. For a 100 day supply of the generic equivalents, I paid around $72 at Northwest. That was cheaper than my usual Medicare copayments of $75 for a 90 day supply.
My husband takes COQ10 200 mg twice a day and it's been working for him. We get it at vitacost.com. Cheapest place I've found.
If you have heart disease or high cholesterol, respiratory problems, a history of cancer or even gum disease, they usually recommend a dose of 200-300mg of CoQ10 per day. Divided into 2 or 3 doses. Don't take it in the evening, because it might keep you awake. CoQ10 works to help your mitochondria carry oxygen better to the cells. It is something your body naturally produces, but gets depleted as we age. It is fat soluble, so take it with food that contains some oil or fat. Some of the formulas have it combined with Vitamin E oil for better absorption. If you don't have any of these health issues, you can take between 50-100 mg. per day. It can get expensive, so watch for sales and only buy from reputable companies.
As with any nutritional supplement, keep your physician informed as to the supplements you are taking. Even though many of them don't know much about these things. You're almost better off discussion these things with your pharmacist first.
I'm not going to get into the mortality vs. morbidity vs. quality of life argument this morning, and I hope your health improves, but do not see diabetes-statin link in the way some have portrayed it, in patients who are not diabetic to begin with.
You can always find personal anecdotes that illustrate this or that. For example, my wife developed Type II (pre-statin), put on Glucophage and then Ziac for hypertension and Zocor for lipids a couple years later, but her blood glocose has been in a downtrend ever since starting the Glucophage. So the glucose lifting effects of the statin and beta blocker must be quite small in her case.
Good luck, sir!
I take 100 mg/day of the high-absorption kind or 300 of the ordinary kind.
Ping to #42 if they've got you worried about the diabetes thing.
Qunol is one of the so-called easily-absorbed CoQ10 products.

Angola faces a serious struggle with landmines, as well as unexploded bombs, mortars, and other munitions buried and abandoned across the country's 18 provinces, a tragic legacy of the country's war for independence and nearly three decades of civil war that finally ended in 2002. Surviving the Peace: Angola, a film produced by our non-governmental organization (NGO) partner the Mines Advisory Group (MAG), captures the challenges facing the people of Angola and how the United States is taking action to help.
An estimated 10 million landmines were used in Angola's conflicts. Unexploded ordnance (UXO) has killed between 23,000 and 80,000 people and affected an additional 2.4 million people. In addition, tens of thousands of military-grade small arms and light weapons remain scattered around the country left over from previous conflicts.
A sequel to MAG's previous film Surviving the Peace: Laos, this powerful film was made possible with funding from the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
Surviving the Peace: Angola introduces two people whose stories are, unfortunately, all too familiar in post-conflict societies. First is Minga Dolinda. A smart, ambitious eight-year-old girl who is passionate about studying, Minga was severely injured when she touched a piece of UXO while playing. Now without her sight, she continues to learn how to read and write but struggles daily with her injuries.
We also meet Eron Pedro, a former soldier during Angola's years of conflict, who is now working to eradicate the landmines and UXO that injured Minga and thousands more like her. A MAG deminer, Eron works to remove landmines in some of the very fields in which he once fought.
Landmines and unexploded ordnance inhibit development, disrupt markets and production, prevent the delivery of goods and services, and generally obstruct reconstruction and stabilization efforts. By removing these deadly hazards, we can encourage the socio-economic development needed to further the larger goal of promoting stability and security.
In Angola, MAG has been working in coordination with Angolan authorities since 1994 to clear landmines and unexploded ordnance, clearing more than 136 acres of land, and securing and safely disposing of thousands of excess small arms and light weapons.
The U.S.-supported efforts of MAG and other NGOs have saved lives and prevented injuries, but a great deal of work remains ahead. Angola is still in need of mine action assistance, with over 2,000 explosive remnants of war-contaminated areas remaining throughout the country.
Under the Conventional Weapons Destruction Program -- a partnership among the State Department, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- the United States has invested more than $2 billion in humanitarian mine action and conventional weapons destruction programs in more than 90 countries since 1993. As a result, the United States has helped 15 countries become mine-impact free, disposed of more than 33,000 man-portable air-defense systems, and destroyed over 1.6 million small arms and light weapons. Additionally, U.S. assistance has funded mine risk education, survivor's assistance programs, and research and development to produce technologies that mitigate the threat of explosive remnants of war. With the help of partners such as MAG, the United States is working toward a safer, more secure environment in Angola and countries around the globe.
For more information, check out our annual report on Conventional Weapons Destruction, To Walk the Earth in Safety.

Mark Your Calendars for May 17
It's that time of year again in both the East and West Irondequoit School Districts–time to vote on next year's budget. I'm not going to get up on my "why our kids need us to vote yes" soapbox right now. I'll save that for another post once you've gotten to know me a bit better.
I'm the mom to two boys at Southlawn Elementary in the West Irondequoit School District. I've had the chance to talk with other residents in our community about the vote and it's been a great experience. One thing, though, is that there is some misinformation out there. The biggest, perhaps most obvious one, is the idea that "one vote won't matter". That's not true. There's voter apathy out there. I wish that weren't the case. I've also heard people say that they don't have kids in the schools, so they don't have any interest in voting.
Whether you're a parent or not, taking that extra 10 minutes from your day to exercise your right to vote, is really important. If you're not sure what is at stake, I encourage you to take a bit of time one evening and read up on the budget vote. Here are links:
May 17th Voter Information for Irondequoit Residents:
East Irondequoit District Vote
6 am – 9 pm
Eastridge High School
2350 E. Ridge Road
West Irondequoit District Vote
6 am – 9 pm
Irondequoit High School Music Room
260 Cooper Road
Our district is also offering a Chicken BBQ Dinner which is being catered by Sticky Lips (my favorite barbeque in Rochester) from 3:30-7:30. The proceeds will benefit the Substance Free Parties for the 11th and 12th graders.
If you have time to stop and pick up the dry cleaning or grab a coffee in the morning, surely you'll have time Tuesday to vote. It's important to all children in Irondequoit.

NFL should clean up its mess
To the editor:
It is well that the Richie Incognito muck broke into the news. The NFL should come to grips with the "initiation" of rookie football players. Actually, initiation is a euphemism for hazing that bullies can use to beat up or humiliate others. The practice creates a haven for misfits who enjoy hurting others. Judging from Incognito's past record he fits the definition of misfit. It should not be a badge of honor for Incognito to be called the dirtiest player in football. The victim, Jonathan Martin, was a second year player and he was still victimized, not only by Incognito but other players who left a dinner table to leave him sitting alone.
Vicious street gangs use hazing to instill loyalty to their membership and to desensitize members. This should not be accepted in the sports world even though defenders like Jared Allen maintain it sometimes has merit. Unfortunately, Geraldo Rivera recently commented that big adults should be able to "take it." Hurting other people either physically or mentally is assault. To force an individual to cough up $15,000 to pay for someone else's vacation is extortion. The social pressure to keep quiet or be labeled a sissy as one who can't take it is powerful. In a civilized society one should not to be placed in that situation. In another workplace setting this would rightly be called harassment.
Bullies in assault or extortion situations should be held accountable in a court of law. If Neanderthal coaches encourage such behavior to toughen up players, they should be fired without severance pay. Hopefully any investigations of the Dolphins will include the head coach and his coaching staff.
Both Brad Childress and Leslie Frazier prohibited "initiations" as detrimental to the Vikings team spirit. Good football players do not need to be tough thugs. Reggie White who played for the Green Bay Packers did not have to be desensitized to be the force that he was. We need more responsible people like that in the sports world.

It's from the first post in this thread. It was probably just an oversight No biggie :
Ed,I had quickly scanned the thread to see if Loo also decided to leave the oil out when he started to use milk in his dough but didn't see that he did so based on my review. Loo may weigh in on this matter but I decided anyway to revise the dough formulations in Reply 90 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6368.msg81363.html#msg81363 to include 3% corn oil. Thanks for catching the omission. I am a measure thrice cut once kind of guy but somehow I missed the omission. I must be getting old.Peter
Nice job and excellent pictures, Norma. Good that you rolled out the dough skin thin as V&N's are noted for their extra thin crust. How did you get the dough from the bench to the pan or disc? I found that very difficult. I did look back at one of the YouTube videos on V&N's and saw where the pizza preparers had a lot of sticky dough stuck to their fingers but the dough skins looked like they could be handled easier than mine was. It looks like you have a very special oven that many would be envious of. --BTB
Norma,I agree with BTB. However, I thought that the V&N pizzas were not as crispy as yours came out. Maybe BTB can comment on that since that has a bearing on how much dough is used to make a typical 12" or 14" pizza at V&N's.I also agree with BTB on the oven. With all of your recent experiments, especially your many experiments with the Lehmann variations, it is clear how inferior our standard unmodified home ovens are to commercial ovens.Peter

PRINCESS ANNE, MD -- (July 7, 2011) -- From the time Clarence Anicholas Clemons Jr. stepped on to the Maryland State College campus in the fall of 1960, he and his peers sensed he would go on to bigger things.
His football teammates thought the tall, muscular freshman from Norfolk, Va., might be talented enough to play professionally.
Others remember him playing saxophone and heard a career in music ahead.
Clemons, indeed, became a pop music legend. He died June 18, 2011 of complications from a stroke. He was 69.
An international outpouring of tributes by news organizations reported his death with lengthy obituaries featuring photos of him on stage with his tenor sax. Some chose to publish pictures of him playing football at his alma mater, where he was a team captain his senior year.
Clemons burst into the national conscientiousness in the mid-1970s as the charismatic saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.
The group's 1975 breakthrough album -- Born to Run -- featured an image of Springsteen on the cover leaning against Clemons -- a black-and-white photo of a black man and white man who shared a love of rock 'n roll that would define their careers and their relationship for the rest of their lives.
Clemons talents took him around the world, but he found his way back to campus in 2010 when he accepted an invitation to attend a scholarship fund-raiser. A health problem forced him to postpone that visit until spring commencement, where he received an honorary degree at the May 21st ceremony.
A posting on his social network site that morning described it as "a very special moment in my life."
He expressed his appreciation by performing "Garden of Memories" on his ever-present saxophone, dedicating the soulful song to deceased alumni.
His father, who owned a fish market in the Tidewater, Va. area, gave Clemons an alto saxophone for Christmas at age nine, and he would carry the instrument everywhere he went for the next 60 years.
"I grew up with a very religious background," he once told an interviewer. "I got into the soul music, but I wanted to rock. I was a born rock 'n roll sax player."
Clemons came to Princess Anne to major in music education and play football. He evolved into an imposing, energetic presence on the field and in local nightclubs, where he was well-known for his sax playing.
Audrey Jones Gill, Class of 1963, occasionally sang with the Vibratones, a musical group Clemons helped organize. The band practiced in the original Kiah Hall and Gill said "I would go up there and start singing" early Motown hits -- especially those made popular by Mary Wells.
"We had a lot of fun in those days," Gill said. "There was so much talent in that band we just didn t know how much."
Emerson Boozer, who went on to a stellar professional football career, had an inkling.
"You couldn't sleep at night if you were on the same (dorm) floor with him," Boozer said. "He'd be blowing that sax. He was musically inclined then."
A 1961 yearbook photo shows Clemons as a freshman with " 'THE' Combo that can't go wrong - freshman Benny Goodman on piano, freshman Willie S. Joyner on drums ... and senior Godfrey E. Mills on trombone."
Earl Christy remembers Clemons as a strong, aggressive center and guard on the football team.
"He had a lot of desire ... second to none," Christy told the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper in February 2011. "When he brought it, he brought it every play."
Maryland State, as UMES was known then, routinely produced athletes who played professional football. At 6-feet 4-inches and over 250 pounds -- hence the nickname "Big Man" -- Clemons harbored those dreams as well.
After college, Clemons played semi-pro football in New Jersey, where he worked with UMES alumnus Charles Holmes as a counselor in a state-run youth home. He was set to try out for the Cleveland Browns in 1968 when he was badly injured in a near-fatal single-car accident.
Marshall J. Cropper, director of UMES' Golf Academy, was a sophomore on the Maryland State football team during Clemons' final collegiate season in the fall of 1963.
"He was a senior leader," Cropper said. "And he always enjoyed music."
"I think we all got a lot of pleasure seeing him be successful," Cropper said. "He was good enough to play pro ball, I know that."
After the car accident, Clemons decided to stick with playing music and eventually encountered Springsteen on the Jersey Shore, where the two were fixtures on the local club scene. The pairing made them entertainment icons.
In addition to his career with the E Street Band, Clemons also performed solo and with a diverse group of other artists, including Aretha Franklin, Jackson Browne, Roy Orbison, Ringo Starr and most recently, Lady Gaga.
In 2009, he put out an autobiography, "Big Man: Real Life and Tall Tales."
He is survived by his wife, Victoria, and four sons: Clarence Jr., Charles, Christopher and Jarod.
PRINCESS ANNE, MD (June 21, 2011) WESM 91.3 FM, based on the University of Maryland Eastern Shore campus, will broadcast a one-hour musical retrospective Saturday on the late Clarence Clemons.
Clemons, a UMES alumnus who went on to fame as a rock n roll saxophonist, died June 18 from complications of a stroke he suffered six days earlier.
The Best of Clarence Clemons airs from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. WESM temporarily steps away from its jazz and blues format to pay tribute to Clemons, who attended the university in the early 1960s.
Interim station manager Stephen A. Williams said WESM obtained the rights to the 58-minute program from Public Radio Exchange (PRX) because it saw an exclusive opportunity to honor an accomplished artist and alumnus.

Child Vaccination Rates Down In Oregon
More parents in Oregon are choosing not to have their children vaccinated against diseases.The trend has been rising for a dozen years and KATU reports kindergarteners this school year had a religious exemption for at least one vaccine.
That's a concern for health officials watching a whooping cough
epidemic in Washington where more than 1,000 cases have been
reported this year. Oregon has had 156 cases of whooping cough
reported this year.
Oregon parents can sign a form and send their kids to schools
without all of their vaccines.

Holy shit that undercard sucked. The drunk guy at the end of the bar could kick John Duddy's ass. And memo to Jose Luis Castillo, when Alfonso Gomez makes you quit on your stool, its time to hang em up. Soto fight had potential. 1st rd KO caused Soto to stay away and coast a little. Soto is a nice, if overlooked fighter. Already inked his next scrap with Anthony Peterson, who is finally taking a step up fight ... should be a good one.
Clottey was an effin embarrassment. They should withhold his purse for mailing it in like that and rolling over for the pay day. Lost all respect for Clottey. Some rounds throwing less than 30 punches, no excuse for that. What pisses me off is all the fringe boxing fans that bought that fight and walked away disappointed. The sport had a chance to capitalize on the momentum of the Pac Man win over Cotto, and carry it into a megafight with Floyd. Instead, we got that bull shit. And now we gotta here more of the "same old boxing" crap. Sucks.
That all said, another incredibly impressive win for Pac Man, who found ways to get to Clottey, and showed he can be an effective body puncher when the opportunity presents itself. Pacquiao is so god damn good. Clottey wouldn't let HBO weigh him on fight night, and my guess is because he was about 160-165 lbs that night. At least 15 lbs heavier than Manny, you could see it. And Manny just beat the shit out of him. Clottey, as big and strong a welterweight as you will find, was so freaking scared that he kept his guard up the whole fight and threw one punch every 10 seconds. What we are seeing from Manny right now is unprecedented, and as a boxing fan, I am not taking it for granted. I'd pay $50 to watch him fight the high school bully. He's that good.
Nothing left for Manny to do if Floyd continues to run from him after he easily dispatches of Mosely on May 1. While I understand Pac Man's position not wanting to let Floyd and his pack of thugs set the rules and bully negotiations, I just wish Manny would call his bluff, take the GD drug test, and then beat Mayweather. Cause he would beat Mayweather.

UNIX turns 40 – in 1969 group of AT&T employees at Bell Labs, including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Douglas McIlroy, and Joe Ossanna developed UNIX. Today Unix offered in many flavors and developed over time by AT&T as well as various commercial vendors (such as IBM, HP, Sun, Apple etc) and non-profit organizations. CW article concluded that after four decades, the future of the operating system is clouded, but its legacy will endure in form of Linux and Microsoft NT operating system:
In August 1969, Ken Thompson, a programmer at AT&T subsidiary Bell Laboratories, saw the month-long departure of his wife and young son as an opportunity to put his ideas for a new operating system into practice. He wrote the first version of Unix in assembly language for a wimpy Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC) PDP-7 minicomputer, spending one week each on the operating system, a shell, an editor and an assembler.

Share Your Reflection

Trent,

I can completely respect the perspective,
I can completely respect the perspective, but let me offer mine:
You met him and were welcomed to his home. Though you may not have had a shot of whiskey, you made a series of moments that are indeed... a memory.
On the occasion that you do have a sip/shot of whiskey, remember in fond of this time with such a figure and that:
"I had the opportunity to take a shot with Terkel, but I didn't." I can guarantee you that a story will be asked for and that makes the opportunity not missed, but a chance to reflect and explain a special moment for you.

this simply shows evolution.
i, too, find myself
this simply shows evolution.
i, too, find myself wishing to be one of the old timers and partake in their traditions. then i find myself also wanting to skip back further, to an older time - a more ancient time, even before moonshine! - to indulge in those "primal" traditions like detachment or the still respect of quiet inactivity. perhaps.

Council mulls buying property
A property that would be potentially affected by the reconstruction of part of Sixth Avenue Northwest this year may be purchased by the Fort Dodge City Council.
The council will consider buying the property at 526 Second St. N.W. from Don Woodman for $60,000 when it meets Monday. The council had previously voted to spend about $1,250 to shore up the garage on that property so that it would not collapse during the work on the street. That structure extends about two feet into the public right of way, according to city officials.
The real estate purchase is one of several issues facing the council during its Monday meeting in the Municipal Building, 819 First Ave. S.
The council's work will begin at 5 p.m. with a workshop discussion on storm sewer improvements on the city's east side. Engineers will give a presentation on the phases in which the upgrades will be completed.
The council's regular business meeting will begin at 6 p.m. In addition to the land purchase, the council will consider approving a two-year contract with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 61. The deal would require the workers to pay part of their health insurance premiums. The employees would receive a 1.25 raise on July 1, a 2 percent raise on Jan. 1, 2014, and a 2.25 percent raise on July 1, 2014.
The council will consider giving final approval to a package of tax incentives intended to spur more housing construction. The elected officials will also consider the second reading of a proposal to make it easier for downtown businesses to get permission to have a sidewalk cafe or outdoor retail area.
Following the business meeting, the council will have a workshop discussion on the new style of garbage trucks that will be key to a new solid waste collection system city leaders hope to implement later this year. The council will also get an update on the sanitary sewer evaluation study.

Lamb Shanks with Artichokes and Olives: Stinci di Agnelli con Carciofi e Olive
- 4 large lamb shanks
- Salt and pepper
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Spanish onion, chopped into 1/4-inch dice
- 12 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- 12 baby artichokes, outer leaves trimmed, held in acidulated water
- 1/2 cup Gaeta olives
- 1 cup Frascati or other dry white wine
- 1 cup basic tomato sauce, recipe follows
- 1 cup chicken stock, recipe follows
- Basic Tomato Sauce:
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Spanish onion, chopped in 1/4-inch dice
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tablespoon dried
- 1/2 medium carrot, finely shredded
- 2 (28-ounce) cans peeled whole tomatoes, crushed by hand and juices reserved
- Salt
- Brown Chicken Stock:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 1/2 pounds chicken wings, backs, and bones
- 3 carrots, coarsely chopped
- 2 onions, coarsely chopped
- 4 ribs celery, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 1 bunch parsley stems
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Rinse and dry the shanks and season aggressively with salt and pepper. In a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven with a lid, heat the oil until smoking. Add the shanks and sear until dark golden brown over medium heat, about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the shanks and set aside.
To the same pan add the onion, garlic, rosemary and artichokes and cook until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the olives, wine, tomato sauce and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Replace the lamb shanks in the pan and return to a boil. Cover tightly and roast in the oven for 1 1/2 hours, until fork-tender. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the thyme and carrot and cook 5 minutes more, until the carrot is quite soft. Add the tomatoes and juice and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until as thick as hot cereal. Season with salt and serve. This sauce holds one week in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.
Yield: 4 cups
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil over high heat until smoking. Add all the chicken parts and brown all over, stirring to avoid burning. Remove the chicken and reserve. Add the carrots, onions, and celery to the pot and cook until soft and browned. Return the chicken to the pot and add 3 quarts of water, the tomato paste, peppercorns, and parsley. Stir with a wooden spoon to dislodge the browned chicken and vegetables bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring almost to a boil, then reduce heat and cook at a low simmer until reduced by half, about 2 hours, occasionally skimming excess fat. Remove from heat, strain, and press on the solids with the bottom of a ladle to extract out all liquids. Stir the stock to facilitate cooling and set aside. Refrigerate stock in small containers for up to a week or freeze for up to a month.
Yield: 1 1/2 quarts

For decades, there has been an ongoing debate in the United States regarding how public schools can best teach the scientific theories about the origins and development of human beings without minimizing the religious beliefs of many Americans. Recently, this debate has intensified in various states and localities throughout the nation. The issue: whether or not to include "Creationism" in the public school curriculum either in conjunction with Evolution or, as some have proposed, as a replacement for the Theory of Evolution. Kansas has become "ground zero" for this current debate. The Kansas State Board of Education has taken a major policy step by voting last year to delete Evolution from its new state science standards. Other states or localities may follow suit with other anti-evolution or pro-creationism measures.
What does the American public think about this issue? This is no simple topic that can be answered with one "yes or no" survey question. There are many nuances that need to be explored. For example:
People For the American Way Foundation commissioned DYG, Inc. to find out exactly what was going on regarding this issue. We assembled a senior research team to tackle this complex issue, led by our Chairman Daniel Yankelovich.

For experienced end-users it is pretty clear that almost no system is immune to viruses or malware; still, some believe that Macintosh and Linux-based computers are virtually invulnerable. According to Apple itself, Macs do need antivirus software despite of the fact that the company insists about lower vulnerability of its systems.
"Apple encourages the widespread use of multiple antivirus utilities so that virus programmers have more than one application to circumvent, thus making the whole virus writing process more difficult," an entry in Apple's "Get a Mac" FAQ stated, reports Washington Post.
Apple reportedly recommended three security apps, including Intego VirusBarrier X5, Symantec Norton Anti-Virus 11 for Macintosh, and McAfee VirusScan for Mac.
By press time Apple has removed the appropriate entry from the web-site. Nevertheless, the company does admit that its Macs can be infected.
"While no computer connected to the Internet is 100% immune to viruses and spyware, the Mac is built on a solid UNIX foundation and designed with security in mind," another entry reads.
Obviously, Apple Macintosh computers – which command a tiny market share globally – are more immune for viruses compared to Windows-based desktops, but as the popularity of Macs grows, more malicious software for the systems will be created.

Madison Bumgarner last night demonstrated the trouble with judging based on recent performance. Yes, his peripherals had been very good despite the 3-8 record. The record is now 3-9, and his peripherals aren't quite so appealing.
It could be called 'The Meltdown' – Did you see it? No, I'm not speaking of last night's MMA bout, but of Madison Bumgarner and his impressive one-out start. And, yes, impressive for all the wrong reasons. The game began harmless enough, with several seeing-eye groundballs through holes in the infield. And then several more. And then a solid line drive to the outfield. And then another. And another seeing-eye single. And now the batter is Carl Pavano, who will be Bumgarner's first (and only) out of the ballgame, the score already 7-0 Minnesota. The next batter, Ben Revere, graciously ended Bumgarner's night with an RBI double, much like the axe coming down on Mel Gibson's exposed neck in the epic "Braveheart." So, Bumgarner's final line: 0.1 IP, 9 H, 0 BB, 8 ER (note that there were no errors, nor any walks involved in this seal clubbing). For the 'outing', if you can call it one, that's a WHIP of 27.00 and an ERA right around 215. It's actually 216.0, but I rounded down, for Bummy's sake.
What does this mean? Get him out of there, as far from the pitching rubber as possible – Antarctica maybe? Australia? They only play cricket, right? Wrong. Well, not about cricket, but about Bumgarner. This is an example of the law of averages, the deceptions of a small sample size, regression to the mean. Over the past week, I don't know how many places I have read that Bumgarner is a much better pitcher than his record indicates. Want to write that article today? Why not? Is he really a worse pitcher now? He has shown us just how bad he can be, but you shouldn't be too surprised with the awful outing. He kept the ball in the yard, and didn't walk people. The balls just didn't bounce his way. Sure one game is a horrendously small sample size, but Twins hitters were 9 for 9 on balls hit in play. That smells like a ridiculously unlikely BABIP; note Madison's season BABIP of .333. And if you watched the first inning (the rest of the game was fairly moot), you might have recognized that Bummy's supporting defense wasn't exactly at their best.
What matters in Fantasy Baseball (and real baseball) is not one game, but 162. Bumgarner is a good pitcher, not a great one, but probably good enough to grace a roster in most fantasy leagues. More importantly, he's also a young player. His last start was so horrible – and unlikely – that it's a guarantee his next will be better.
A moral to this story? Well, bad outings and games will come, they're a part of every player's season. Bumgarner had had bad luck with regards to wins and losses up to yesterday, but after last night's debacle, it's hard to argue that he is much better than his 4-8 record indicates. After the loss, his WHIP for the season sits at 1.39, quite a contrast to the pretty 1.29 he sported entering yesterday. Last year's WHIP of 1.31 makes me think this is probably the high point. The moral is, start him, he's the same pitcher he was two days ago, and if you have a cranky owner in your league that wants to get rid of a pitcher after his worst start of the year, take advantage and trade for him.

Guests take their final tours of the 77-year-old Everglades Wonder Gardens animal sanctuary in Bonita Springs, Fla. Lindsay Downey, The News-Press, Fort Myers, Fla.
Everglades Wonder Gardens was a family-owned and -operated wildlife attraction that opened in 1936.
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. — Hansel the otter earned his final applause as he dove for chunks of raw meat.
Tour guides' microphones boomed past sleeping black bears and coiled pythons.
STORY: Old Florida feel of Anna Maria Island
Everglades Wonder Gardens owner David Piper watched guests plop down $15, one last time.
The animal sanctuary, one of the last Old Florida-style attractions in the state, closed its doors to the public Sunday after 77 years. Piper, who took over for his grandfather Lester in 1992, moved to Georgia to escape stress that aggravates an inoperable spine tumor.
"Really mixed emotions," Piper said while the first wave of guests began touring the grounds he swept when he was 4. "There's an old song that said 'Cowboys ain't supposed to cry.'"
When tallied, Sunday's visitors should be close to the record 965 guests the attraction drew on a single day in 2004. More than 800 visited Saturday.
Former employee John O'Kelly, 47, stopped by to say goodbye to his favorite parrot, Peanut, and the gators and bobcats he fed for nearly three decades.
"This place is lost in time," O'Kelly said. "There aren't too many places you can go that still look like they did 100 years ago."
Candace Mills, 56, of Naples, Fla., who first toured the gardens in 1983, came back for the first time in a decade. She peered through glass at the preserved body of Big Joe, a more than 1,200-pound crocodile who lived at the gardens for 67 years and died in 2003.
"I saw Big Joe when he was alive," Mills said. "I'm sorry to see this place go. ... I don't want it to be torn down for more growth."
While Piper zipped across the grounds, ushering a constant flood of tour-goers into the gardens, his wife, Dawn, tried to take it all in.
"It's surreal," she said. "The hardest part for me is watching my husband go through the roller coaster of emotions. He wanted to be here this morning to greet the first guest, and he's going to be here to greet the last."
By 5 p.m., a rooster's crow echoed across the quiet grounds while a handful of visitors took final loops past the enclosures. In the gift shop, Piper told a few bystanders about the time he "surfed" his favorite crocodile.
A woman paid for a late admission ticket. Piper didn't want to lock the doors yet, in case there were others.
He put a cellphone on speaker and called Tina Schucklat, a longtime area resident who visited the gardens as a child, to tell her he has decided to sell the property and wants to list it with her. Piper declined to say what the listing price might be.
On Monday, Piper is calling zoos and collectors interested in his animals and artifacts. A bidding battle has begun for his Florida crocodiles. A female can fetch about $15,000.
The owner of Alligator Adventure park in South Carolina is one of the latest potential buyers.
"He says our crocodiles are incredible — like special antique cars that have been kept in garages," Piper said.
In a few days, after some of the animals have been placed and more specimens and skulls have been sold, Piper will drive his Ford F250 back to Georgia with a few of Wonder Gardens' timber rattlesnakes in tow, and any other caged creatures he can wrangle across the state line.
He'll start small in Georgia, getting back to the work he knows best.
"Everybody knows up there that we rehabilitate animals," Piper said. "We're already getting calls."
A Bonita, Fla. man tried to set the animals at the Everglades Wonder Gardens free. He was detained by one of the garden's employees. Andrew West, The News-Press, Fort Myers, Fla.
Old Florida attractions
Like Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven and Miracle Strip Amusement Park in Panama City Beach, Everglades Wonder Gardens has closed up shop. But here are a few places in the Sunshine State where you still can get a taste of Old Florida and maybe a bit of kitsch.
• The Citrus Tower, Clermont, built in 1956.
• Coral Castle Museum, Homestead, moved from Florida City and reopened in 1940.
• Jungle Island, formerly Parrot Jungle, Miami, established 1936.
• Theater of the Sea, Islamorada, established 1946.
• Weeki Wachee Springs, Weeki Wachee, opened 1947.

Hi Bellas,
I apologize for no post yesterday but unexpectandly I found myself at the hospital for 14 hours yesterday with 1.5 hours of sleep because my bestie gave birth to her baby boy! It was an amazing experience and perfect timing for this entry! This post isn't really beauty related, but I definitely wanted to share it with you all. A few weeks ago, my friends and I threw out best friend a baby shower. It was a fabulous time and I wanted to show you all pics! Hopefully this will give you guys ideas if you happen to be planning a shower. Oh and did I mention that all of the Shower Planners wore matching red lips? he he
The theme was "Vintage Sweet Shoppe" with a turquoise and purple color scheme. This is this the first baby in our group so of course we had to go all out.
Here's a shot of the cake table...we had ice cream themed cake and cup cakes and apothecary jars filled with candy.
When guests arrived, they had to fill out name badges. Each had a different ice cream flavor...that's how we determined teams for games later on. The little flower vases are actually also filled with candy!
Outside the house, we made giant sized lollipops using large, round balloons, covering it with gift basket cellophane baggies, and then attaching it to wooden dowels that were stuck in to the ground .
Here's a shot of the cake made by one of our mom's in the group. We had the purple and blue pin-stripe match the shower invitations.
The theme for food was "Upscale Diner". We found cute vintage coca-cola shot glasses at the dollar store and filled them to make milk shake shooters. Check out one of the planners in the back right corner...we all wore vintage ice cream shoppe hats and aprons to make it seem like we were working the soda shoppe.
Shot of some of the attendees. Mommy to be is on the far right.
My BF and I did a maternity shoot and blew up the pictures into a poster so that she could hang them in the nursery.
We also used the pictures to have a running slide show throughout the shower. We also had Mo-Town Soda Shoppe music playing in the background.
Everywhere you went there were vintage Sundae Glasses filled with candy. We even had a vintage popcorn machine!
For favors, we gave away Custom Labeled Bags of cotton candy in our color scheme.
Here's one of the games we played "The Price is Right Baby Edition". We displayed a powerpoint on the flat screen and teams had to guess the prices of common baby items. The argyle print on the slide again matched the baby shower invitations (it's all about the details!). People really got into it, lol.
For another game, we had "Design the Perfect Nursery" where teams were able to sort through a grab bag of materials to create a design. Think Project Runway style...
Here are Mommy and Daddy deliberating on the winner.
The Winning Team!
Another game was to make a custom ice cream flavor for the Baby!
The winning team describing their concoction!
Time to cut the cake!
At the end, we surprised the mommy to be with a video of her mom saying a special message. The Grandma couldn't make it to the shower because she lives in another state and had to take care of her husband who is ill. Nearly everyone cried at this part, lol.
Here's a shot of the gift we got the mommy. A monogrammed Ducky Themed Onesie and Bib Set.
I didn't get a clear picture, but all of the girls and I wore red lips to go with the vintage theme. I used OCC lip tars in a variety of different reds to match everyone's skin tones. It was awesome!
Hope I was able to share some tips for those of you planning a baby shower! Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

Speaking for myself,
1. Yes. 2. No one trusted Mitt on anything. 3. Respectfully disagree. 4. I agree--but did the Tea's know what they were getting? 5. I completely agree. But at what point will there be, A. So small a number of Republicans that even having 100percent of R's behind a candidate GUARANTEES a loss to anyone else? (It may be coming close!); or B., many R's that agree with the social principles but are no longer willing to be part of a party that is willing to sacrifice itself and the good of the Republic for them, rather than ceding those principles to individuals and the state?
Hope that makes sense, as I have a dog training appt. and won't be back for a while!

willing slave to the whims of

and introducing...
Swooped in and Stole My Heart "Cooper"
And, you just supported my point that the Teas are not about Liberty or a Balanced Budget. That is your 'smokescreen".
Yes, they backed Rand's Senate bid, I have never said otherwise. It just that they can't get him into the White House. He will need broader support than the Teas and with Santorum running again, who will they support?
Anti-intellectualism and fascism go together like bacon and eggs.
Franco conveniently "forgets" to mention Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio along with Rand Paul as Tea Party success stories. All of these men fought very tough Republican establishment opposition to gain their seats... If not for the Tea Party support, they would all still be in their civilian jobs. All three of them are mentioned as the "young guns" of the Republican Party. I'm sure Rand (or any of the others) will accept an addition 1% of the vote if the Libertarians decide to come along for the ride next time...
Bill Davis
The LP agrees that abortion is an issue that should be left to the individual states.
To answer RK; I think a Libertarian like a Rand Paul has a better shot at occupying the White House than a Repub standard bearer.
Anti-intellectualism and fascism go together like bacon and eggs.
While not mainstream, at least the Liber's offer up more than re-runs.
Never trust a dog to watch your food!
