I had half a head of highlights at Biba. The stylist was really friendly and seemed to understand the exact colour I was going for. The colour looked great, but I didnt like the blow dry I recieved (I had to re-style it myself when I got home). Otherwise a great service and I will return for a colour only.

Cranberry Pear Salad Recipe
MY HUSBAND and I celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary in August - which is also how long I've had this recipe. I like to serve the salad on a bed of lettuce and sometimes garnish it with dates. This delicious salad is easy to prepare when time is short. -Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana
- 1 can (8 ounces) pear halves
- Lettuce leaves
- 1/2 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
- Toasted sliced almonds, optional
- 1. Drain pears, reserving 1 tablespoon juice (discard remaining juice or refrigerate for another use). Place pears, cut side up, on a lettuce-line plate. Combine the cranberry sauce and reserved pear juice; spoon over pears. Sprinkle with almonds if desired. Yield: 2 servings.

Discussion in 'Doberman Talk and Discussions' started by Angelamm, Jul 18, 2011.
I'm looking to switch my puppy's food. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!
What is the dog eating now? Is there any reason why you want to make a switch?
I just want the best possible honestly. I didn't know if there was something better. I've been using the blue buffalo.
If your dog has no problems on the blue buffalo, I would not make a switch. You can compare your food with other brands below.
The best food for your puppy is whichever food gives him the right nutrition, at the right age, and that he enjoys and does not cause any digestion problems. You can't really place any one food as the absolute best because all dogs are different and they are all going to have different tastes and needs. I can tell you that I think Wellness has the best puppy food and you could try to give it to your puppy and he could not like the taste, there could be something in it which bothers his tummy, or you could not like the price, or ingredients or anything else.
The best food for your puppy is whatever serves his needs the best, pleases his tastes, and is comparable to your budget.
Do you have a list of exactly what's available in your area? That also helps narrow it down.
How is he doing on the Blue Buffalo? Are his stools firm? Is his coat glossy? Is he maintaining his weight well?
I fed our dogs the Merrick food when they were pups (well still do as an adult) and they did very well on it, but as stated it will vary from dog to dog.
The blue buffalo does give her a shinny coat. However, her stools aren't always firm. Once in a while we experience a one time diarrhea deal. I know their digestive systems aren't the best so I figured i'd try a new food to see if that would solve the problem.
Oops sorry, she... It isn't totally uncommon for a younger dog or pup to have loose stools and sometimes a different food can help, but in other cases it can intensify it. Sometimes it a matter of experimenting with a few different ones to see what works best for your dog, but it's time consuming when you have to gradually switch them over, so it takes a while to know for sure what will and won't work.
What you're feeding is a decent food BTW. Which formula are you feeding?
We are feeding her the regular puppy formula.. I was thinking about switching over the the wilderness formula to see if that is any better. I know they make breed specific dog food for dobermans, but i wasn't sure if any of them were any good. I know she is a puppy probably is finding little things to eat which probably doesn't help much. It's hard to determine if it is actually the food.
the best food is RAW food,,,,the best kibble IMHO is Orijen....Good Luck!!
If it is just occasional and not regular then it could be just one of those puppy things. If it is more regular but all the other factors are good I would suggest switching to a different protein type within the same food brand before trying a different food altogether.
I agree with Nupe raw is best, but i use half kibble & half raw cause the hard kibble helps clean the teeth.Ive feed Diablo 1/2 & 1/2 like this his whole life ( almost 5 months lol ) but he does weigh 56 lbs right now, and not fat hes still growing. Hope this helps.
There can be many reasons for a puppy/dog having loose stool and it is far from always due to the food. However most people blame it on the food. Your puppy could have eaten something on a walk, parasites or lots of other reasons. I don't think it is a good idea to start switching foods unless it is a persistent issue and you know it is not due to parasite etc. Switching foods can cause loose stool as well. If you switch make sure to do it gradually over at least a week.
Raw is best... next to that is Orijen.... Nupe and I are on the same page here completely. I got him on this page, so that is why we agree completely!
yes maam @ denisov
Not sure here, I feed my dogs Solid Gold Holistic Blend
Nupe... ya know I love to be called Ma'am... it works for me!
uhh huhh I figured as much!!! lol
Like the mention alread what works for one, dosen't mucst work for another dog. If the dog has mostly firm poop and the coat looks good and the weight is ok, i wouldn't switch. why fix something, what isn't broke.
Puppys nt always have firm poops in the first place. I saw that it almost take to 6-7 month, til they get normaly firm poops and then still, if they get into something or eat what they shouldn't, there are the runs again.
Every dog is different.
I feed mine the PP shreeded brand chicken and rice and it worksfor all 3 of my dogs and i'm happy with it and they get once in a week one or two raw frozen bones, to keep the teeth clean and it keeps them busy for a bit
And i agree with Katja, if the puppy as not permanently runny poops and has no healthissues, don't switch, but if you do, do it very slowly.
Innova is another excellent food

Not the most fruitful weekend, with one major wide release on the cards, and "The Wolverine" topped the box office charts with $55 million (this time last year "Dark Knight Rises" made $62.1 million in its second weekend). The James Mangold-directed effort was Fox's second swing at a standalone movie for the character, with Hugh Jackman reprising the titular role, going to Japan and grappling with his immortality and women in his life (dead and alive, sword and poison-wielding), with a few Yasujirō Ozu references thrown in for artsy measure.
At $55 million, the film missed its original tracking reports by roughly $10 million, but more importantly: it missed the mark of its predecessor "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" by a good $30 million (it opened May 2009 with $85.1 million); made less than half of "X-Men: The Last Stand" (it opened May 2006 with $122 million); and it missed the previous X-Men movie by just $100k ("X-Men: First Class" opened June 2011 with $55.1 million). No doubt, Fox executives will be looking hard for what went wrong in this heavily marketed movie that did everything to separate itself from 'Origins' short of burning that film's negative. Do audiences only like Logan if he's with his X-Men buddies? Was the lack of a clear villain a problem?
Looking to the future, what does this mean for the upcoming 2014 "X-Men: Days of Future Past"? Well, it's set for a May 2014 opening and has a combination of both series of X-Men characters, and one can assume that the massive, Avengers-like team-up concept will certainly be a draw. Not to mention that a credits tease in "The Wolverine" for 'Future Past' is already stoking the flames of excitement. All that said, Fox will be banking on very strong international numbers to help out, and with a very healthy $86.1 million, it's the largest X-Men opening internationally of either series. In short, "The Wolverine" will do well, but even matching the $179 million domestic haul of 'Origins' is no guarantee at this point.
In second place, "The Conjuring" is still casting its spooky spell with $22.1 million and a grand domestic total of $83.9 million ($13 million ahead of "White House Down"). It's on track to do about $140 million domestic, making it one of the best performing horror films of all time. In third, "Despicable Me 2" made $16 million this weekend and crossed the domestic $300 million mark, the second movie to do so this year after "Iron Man 3." In fourth, "Turbo" made $13.3 million, crossing the $50 million line with a running total of $55.8 million.
In fifth, "Grown Ups 2" made $11.5 million and has a domestic running total of $101.7 million, making it Adam Sandler's 14th movie to cross the $100 million mark. In sixth, "Red 2" made $9.4 million and is in danger of being retired from the top ten with a running total of $35.1 million after two weeks. In seventh, "Pacific Rim" made $7.5 million, for a domestic total of $84 million, but with a 52.9% slip from last weekend, it doesn't look like it's going to make it to $100 million soon. In eighth, America sure likes "The Heat" as it made $6.9 million in its fifth week, making it the highest grossing comedy of 2013 so far ($141.2 million), surpassing "Identity Thief" ($134.6 million). In dismal though not surprising ninth, "R.I.P.D." made $5.9 million in its second week and with the largest percentage drop since last weekend (53.9%), it should just go rest in peace soon enough.
In tenth, "Fruitvale Station" made a phenomenal transition from specialty to mainstream box office, expanding from 34 to 1,064 theaters and making $4.7 million this past weekend with an average of $4,377 per theater (compared to it making $742,272 last weekend with an average of $21,832 per theater).
Meanwhile, at the arthouse, Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine" opened to incredibly strong numbers in New York and Los Angeles, averaging $102,128 per screen. That figure bests the $99,834 average "Midnight In Paris" received a couple of years back, which incidentally, is Woody's biggest movie to date. And with rave reviews and Oscar consideration already being tipped for Cate Blanchett, this could be another big hit for Woody.
1. The Wolverine (Fox) - $55,000,000
2. The Conjuring (Warner Bros.) - $22,130,000 ($83,867,000)
3. Despicable Me 2 (Universal) - $16,024,000 ($306,413,000)
4. Turbo (Fox) - $13,325,000 ($55,768,000)

9. R.I.P.D. (Universal) - $5,857,000 ($24,352,000)
10. Fruitvale Station (The Weinstein Company) - $4,657,000 ($6,339,000)

It's the middle of the month, and we know what that means. Well, for us, it means realizing we have $70 to last us until payday, but for the more frugal cinephiles among you, it means that it's time for Criterion to announce what they've got coming up three months down the line. And once more, there are some treats in store.
Kicking things off, and certainly the headliner, is David Lynch's seminal 1977 first feature "Eraserhead," the first of the director's features to make the collection. The film will be displayed on a new 4K digital restoration, along with new restorations of six Lynch shorts (1966's "Six Figures Getting Sick," 1968's 'The Alphabet," 1970's "The Grandmother," 1974's "The Amputee Part 1 and 2," and 1996's "Premonitions Following An Evil Deed," plus interviews and a 2001 documentary by Lynch called "Eraserhead Stories." So yeah, pretty much a must buy when it lands on September 16th.
Unlike Lynch, Polanski's a regular in the Collection, but his 1971 take on "Macbeth" will be hitting just in time for the upcoming Michael Fassbender/Marion Cotillard take on Shakespeare's classic. Again with a 4k restoration, it'll be accompanied by both a 1971 documentary, and a brand new one about the making of the film, plus an essay by critic Terence Rafferty. That hits 23rd of September.
The same day also brings Jack Clayton's superb ghost story "The Innocents." A 1961 version of Henry James' "The Turn Of The Screw," a favorite of Martin Scorsese, gets the 4k restoration, an audio commentary from historian Christopher Frayling, a new interview about the cinematography by Freddie Francis, and archive interviews with other crew members. The film's not as well known in the States as in the UK, but it's absolutely brilliant, and as definitive as the earlier two pictures.
Finally, the month closes out with Serge Bourgignon's "Sundays And Cybele." Not necessarily as sexy as some of the others, the film, which won the foreign-language Oscar in 1962, is somewhat overshadowed now, but could get a boost in its reputation. The release gets a 2k restoration, new interviews with the director and actress Patricia Gozzi, and "La sourire," the 1960 short that won Bourguignon the Palme D'Or. That lands on September 30th, the same day that Fassbinder's "Ali: Fear Eats The Soul" gets an overdue upgrade to blu.
Speaking of, it was announced last week that Criterion will no longer be doing dual-format releases — supposedly, a surprisingly small number of customers have made the upgrade to Blu, and the experiment didn't pay off. What do you think about the decision? Are you pleased, or unhappy? Talk it out below in the comments.

Not to offend, but what a silly question! How could more black ever look bad on a motorcycle?
black out the cases also.
Personally I would just do the exhaust and fit the "vintage" shrouded Hagons.By all accounts the Hagons are also a huge improvement in ride and handling over the stock shocks.
....SEE! if you black out one thing it ends up being the whole bike!!!! If only uncle sam paid me a little bit more.
use alot of chain lube and the rear will do it for you.

Four passengers on Carnival's Imagination were arrested last week for trying to smuggle $3 million worth of drugs into the U.S. The cruisers, all women ages ranging from 23 - 45, were snagged at the Port of Miami, where Imagination had returned following a western Caribbean cruise to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. Customs officials had sent the women to a second checkpoint because they seemed nervous. That's when investigators searched their luggage, finding packages of cocaine and heroin stuffed in various pairs of shoes.
The women are being held at a federal detention center in Miami on $250,000 bond -- and that's apiece, not total. The charge, if convicted, comes with a minimum sentence of ten years in prison.

Ah, the joys of building a new home! Jon Titus moved into his new residence a year ago, and reports that his brand new GE dishwasher still has some rather irksome problems: "We recently purchased and had installed a GE dishwasher, model GLD6500L00CC. In the photo you can see the curved side of the dishwasher tub. which is plastic, so it is quite flexible and easily goes out of shape. The edge of the cabinet is plumb. The local GE serviceman told me the bowing was most likely because the dishwasher is installed on a tile floor. Like GE NEVER did that before. Either we got a defective dishwasher or the original installers screwed it up. Oh, and after we fill the dishwasher, the door doesn't close unless we jam it in place. The dish racks already shows signs of rust and the upper rack jams when we try to slide it back into the dishwasher. The latter problem may arise from the cockeyed installation. We'll eventually buy a good dishwasher with a metal tub and frame. This one is junk. I'll call GE again and again until they get it right."
One comment
In early August 2007, Jon called the GE Repair center and had a visit from a technician who checked out the defective dishwasher. After trying to adjust it, he declared it a loss and said GE would replace it. Within a week, two GE technicians arrived with a new dishwasher. It took them about 30 minutes to remove the defective unit and install the new one. I'm glad to say the new one works well, the sides do not bow out and the door shuts properly.
So, let's make this an "Installed by Monkeys" rather than a "Made by Monkeys" contribution. No need to cast aspersions on GE when they firmly belong with the original installers–probably an appliance contractor hired by our builder.

Serena and Samantha
Serena and Samantha are approximately six weeks apart in age. They came to live with us in 1988 while we were living in Oklahoma...June 2005. Update: Sadly, we lost Samantha to renal failure April 5, 2006. She was such a good cat and never caused a bit of trouble. She faithfully woke Jim up every morning and reminded him to feed all the animals. We'll always miss her. Update: Another sad addition. We lost Serena to old age on January 23, 2007. She was my baby and waited every morning for me to carry her out from the bedroom to the kitchen to eat. I'll never forget how she liked to "talk" to me and I'll miss her forever.

UK360 - Episode 27 - Charlie Dimmock
25 September 2012, 12:34
Charlie Dimmock presents this week's UK360 from her very own garden down in Hampshire. This week's programme is about a subject that we all love – food! We'll be investigating the journey of our food from Farm to Fork and finding out how communities are working to improve our relationship to food.
Labelling Matters
9-year-old Ayrton Cable, grandson of Business Secretary Vince Cable, shares his proposal for a new labelling system for meat and dairy products. The full version of Ayrton's film recently premiered to an audience of MPs and lobbyists in Westminster. If you're interested in signing Ayrton's petition, visit: http://www.labellingmatters.org
Exeter Real Food Store
Down in Exeter, a community has set up their own co-operative providing healthy, sustainable produce from local farmers at reasonable prices. Supported by Sustain, the alliance for better food and farming's food co-ops programme, this project seeks to provide an alternative to the mainstream food system in the city, to the benefit of producers and consumers alike. To find out more about how you can set up your own co-op, visit: http://www.sustainweb.org/foodcoops
The People's Kitchen
In Hackney, East London, an inspiring group of volunteers are making delicious meals for the local community using food considered as waste! It utilises and spreads awareness of food waste and celebrates the power of community by bringing together a team of volunteers to transform food that was heading for landfill into beautiful cooked meals that are served on a "pay what you can afford" basis. Thanks to Kiss Bank TV who produced this film: http://www.kissbank.com/
The Last Fisherman
Did you know that over 75% of fishing boats in the UK are under ten metres long? Under EU law, however, they are only allowed 4% of the fishing quota. This film from Greenpeace gives a voice to these small scale fishermen who are extremely worried about their future, and the future of our fish stocks. If you're interested in finding out more, visit: http://www.greenpeace.org/beafishermansfriend
Animal Aid
Hester Campbell went to investigate the personalities of pigs and chickens and along the way discovered some harsh realities of what life is like for animals in factory farms. Visit http://www.animalaid.org.uk for more information on animal rights and welfare. Produced by Environment Films: http://www.environmentfilms.org
Remember, we're always looking for films for upcoming UK360 shows. So if you've got an amazing film about an interesting project in your community, send it to us and we might show it on national television. Email us: firstname.lastname@example.com

text: How does art survive in a time of oppression? A series of three films, Art Over Politics: The Persistence of Dreams examines the crucial relationship between contemporary art and politics even as it extends the possibilities of the documentary form. Narrated by Ben Kingsley, Sally Field, and Ed Asner, The Desert of Forbidden Art showcases an inspiring dedication to art and stunning works. During Soviet rule, artists who stayed true to their vision were executed or sent to mental hospitals or gulags. Their plight inspired curator Igor Savitsky, who pretended to buy state-approved art but instead daringly rescued 40,000 works by forbidden artists and created a museum for them in the Uzbekistan desert, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB.

For the second consecutive day, and a whopping 6TH time in the month of January, temperatures eclipsed the 50° mark here in the Rockford area! Only one other time since 1906 had there been more than 6 50s in the year's opening month!
It's a far cry from last year, where at this time we were shivering while preparing for a historic blizzard! The year prior also was no cupcake, as temperatures were quite chilly as well! Here's a breakdown of our observed highs yesterday and today, along with the forecast highs for Wednesday and Thursday, then compared to the comparable time period of 2011 and 2010...
Jan 30 Jan 31 Feb 1 Feb 2
2012 52° 56° 45° 44°
2011 32° 25° 24° 23°
2010 25° 26° 29° 31°
A cold front has now passed through the area, which will reduce temperatures into the 40s for the next three days, levels still more than 10° above normal! There's a complex storm system in sight for the weekend, though there's very little in the way of agreement among our computer models at this early stage. For the moment, we're calling for a rain/snow mix possible for Saturday and Sunday, though there are a few solutions that suggest a couple inches of snow could accumulate, especially Saturday night. We'll keep an eye on developments in the days ahead!
Meantime, we officially welcome February on Wednesday! It's a month in which the normal highs and lows start to make a noticeable rise! The normal high and low on February 1st are 31°/14°, but by month's end find themselves at 40°/22°. Don't thing we're done entirely with snow just yet, though. A typical February does average 7.7" of snowfall for the month.

I too live in the horrible, messy, opinionated, perverse, deluded, intractably mis-informed Real World, so I have considerable sympathy for what you say. But given that this is a theory group, maybe we should invent a new model which includes indexes, say, the "political model". ;-)
We shall take it for granted that the political model is beyond the reach of reason and logic. The mob shall be its animus, moderated by bovine indifference and the need for a herd. That is where things not demanded by logic belong.

Media compan hires for management jobs in IllinoisSaturday, December 10th, 2011
Thanx Media said this week it has secured a key hire for management jobs in Illinois.
The announcement means more Chicago jobs.
Thanx Media said this week it has secured a key hire for management jobs in Illinois.
The announcement means more Chicago jobs.
One company has announced it has is recruiting for Illinois jobs.
Affinnova, Inc., a provider of marketing software and services, will hire up to 70 new staff members in 2012. The announcement was made by Waleed Al-Atraqchi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Affinnova.
"We had initially projected 40 new people in 2012, but our rapid growth has caused us to reevaluate and expand our staffing needs," said Al-Atraqchi. "As demand for our innovation platform spreads into new markets, we need talented and forward-thinking individuals to help us continue our expansion."
The company expects to hire in all departments, including software developers, research directors, marketing, sales and finance. Most of Affinnova's new hires will be in the Boston area, although the company will also bolster its staff in the West Coast and Europe. In Europe, Affinnova is hiring in the U.K., France, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. On the West Coast of the U.S., Affinnova is hiring in Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The company is also seeking staff for Chicago jobs, and New York and Philadelphia.
Affinnova has added 67 full-time staff members in the past 10 months, along with a dozen additional contract workers. The company now employs 150 people worldwide.
Promotional Cards said this week it has hired for management jobs in Illinois.
SVM, LP, the global leader in providing gift card solutions for businesses, announces the hiring of John Cullen as Vice President and General Manager, Gasoline Loyalty and Rewards.
Prior to joining SVM, Mr. Cullen held numerous leadership and entrepreneurial roles in the area of loyalty and rewards solutions. He was instrumental in the development of several loyalty programs, including innovative programs utilizing gasoline as a currency to incent consumer behaviors. This also included establishing creative partnerships and cross merchandising various consumer products with gasoline.
The Tribune's latest layoffs are affecting Illinois jobs in various industries, including administrative and finance areas.
The Chicago Tribune is reportedly trimming Chicago administrative jobs, according to multiple reports.
In addition, the AP reports that the top executive at the Chicago Tribune will oversee six other Tribune Co. daily newspapers as part of a reorganization that will eliminate an unspecified number of jobs.
Chicago Tribune Publisher Tony Hunter responsibility for all Tribune Co. newspapers except the Los Angeles Times. The other newspapers reporting to Hunter are the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel, The Sun of Baltimore, The Hartford (Conn.) Courant, The Morning Call of Allentown, Pa., and Daily Press of Newport News, Va.
It's not yet clear if writing jobs in Connecticut will also be affected.
Now much of the Tribune Co.-owned Hartford Courant will be made in Chicago.
According to the Tribune, Gannett, Media General and Tribune Co. are among the larger companies ramping up centralized editing, which is hailed by some as a necessary evolution and decried by others as weakening local journalism.
One company is recruiting for operations jobs in Illinois, according to a news release.
Any repair business has an operations staff to handle numerous tasks for the repair technicians so the technicians can focus on the repairs. Well, AAA Appliance Service Center® has had such a significant amount of growth in business; they have hired an additional person to work on operations activities. This will help support the two recent hires on the repair technician team.
The decision to hire a financial planner or advisor to help you with your money has always been a good idea, but Robb Hill wants you to ask yourself these questions before hiring a financial advisor in Illinois.
When it comes to selecting the right one for you this is where most people find themselves confused, frustrated and feeling like they're taking a stab in the dark. After all, who has ever taught you "How to choose the right one?" It's a tough choice for most, because you know we're in our high school or college courses that date to just about financial planning to secure our financial well-being is, let alone how to pick the right team of professionals to help you out! People are scared and nervous, wondering things like; how do I know this person is any good? What should I look for? What kinds of questions should I ask? When should I believe their great claims, and know what's real or not? Will this person rip me off? How much say do I have when it comes to making the best decisions with my money? Will I have all the options to weigh before being convinced to do something? Will this person continue to properly monitor and update my financial planning? And the list goes on.
Admittedly, how to choose the right person to help you out is harder than the decision to hire one in the first place. In fact, one of the biggest questions people face is how to know if they're working in your best interest or for their best interest! This may not shock you, but there are definitely some people out there who are working for their own greedy personal gain, versus your gain. This is disgusting it and is wrong but it happens. It's a reality we have to accept. That's why you've probably heard some people like Diane Sawyer do cover stories on how to avoid getting ripped off by your financial planner or advisor. Or CNN's news story on how to know the pro's from the cons in the financial planning industry. Yes, these are very important things for the consumer to be aware of. However, as with most of the media and the press, they left the consumer wondering what to do that, or if to hire a financial professional at all! That is as much truth behind the fact there are good financial planners as there are bad. But the task is for the consumer to know…
How to detect the good from the bad:
First of all, YOU are the one who is ultimately responsible for your financial situation both now and down the road. YOU must take the steps necessary to assure yourself a financial portfolio that is secure and profitable. And hiring a financial professional can be very helpful in working with you to reach your money goals and Financial Security. Secondly, it's your responsibility, if you choose to have someone help you out, to know what to look for end what to look out for when hiring one. Assuming that you like to work with a pro, instead of a "con", you first need to know some overall general things such as: if their recommendations are for your best interest or for their own personal gain.
If they are just in the business of selling financial products to line their own pockets, instead of yours. If their credentials me a lot, or aren't worth a penny! If their great claims about why you should hire them are true and if they can be backed up with references from others they've truly helped. If they are more into me, me, me, instead of you, you, you, (Hint: can typically tell by their advertising efforts-if all they're doing is promoting themselves and their products in their fancy ads and brochures lookout!)
There are literally dozens of things you must look out for, plus a detailed list of 10 questions you must seek answers to before you hire a financial planner or advisor! That way, you can rest assured that you are in good hands! For a free copy of these detailed questions posed everything else you must know; please fill out the contact information located on the contact us page. Armed with this report, you will have the ammunition you need to make sure you deal with someone who is right for you, and that has your best interests at heart!

The recipe is from Pioneer Woman's Cookbook. There's no marmalade in the muffins, despite the name. You zest oranges into the batter, and brown sugar and orange juice makes a syrupy glaze. I lessened the amount of brown sugar in the glaze, and I didn't miss a sweet drop. The muffins come together quickly and are very tasty, moist muffins. They don't taste as good a couple of days after, as they get a little soggy. To avoid this, eat quickly!

Food Friday: Marmalade Muffins

With Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges set to lend their considerable talents to the supernatural tentpole "The Seventh Son," the job is now finding a duo of young thesps to power this thing to the tween demographic it needs.
With Alex Pettyfer bowing out and Jennifer Lawrence now focused on "The Hunger Games," a wide net is being cast for the roles of Tom and Alice in the film that follows the former, the seventh son of a seventh son in the 1700s who discovers he has the ability to see creatures of the dark, and trains to become a 'Spook' in order to fight evil. Bridges will play Master Gregory who trains Tom, while Moore is lined up as the villain, Mother Malkin, who sucks the blood out of young women to keep her youth. And as with most tentpoles these days, basically every young actor and actress of note in town is up for the open roles.
Variety reports that Sam Claflin ("Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides"), Caleb Landry-Jones (Banshee in "X-Men: First Class") and James Frecheville ("Animal Kingdom") are testing for Tom, while Imogen Poots ("Solitary Man"), Felicity Jones (Sundance sensation "Like Crazy"), Alicia Vikander, Gabrielle Wild and Dianna Agron ("Glee") are up for Alice
Screen tests were initially postponed as rewrites were done on the script to get it to where Bridges was comfortable, and now director Sergei Bodrov is getting the talent to read opposite the "True Grit" star to see what the chemistry is like. Should the casting come together and everything fall into place, the film will go in front of cameras later this summer presumably for a 2012 release.

Ding, Dong
Heroic Spine and Madness down (for me) this week. The guild did it last week without me (/sniffle). I had been out of raiding for a couple weeks with just a rotten horrible virus or something and couldn't stay awake. So now I am rocking my "Savior of Azeroth" title… fun stuff. Next week looks to be getting achievements done for drakes. So far the achievements have been pretty easy and straight forward, if that changes and I learn any tips or tricks I will be sure to let everyone know (and no, switching from a 25 man to a 10 man to get achieves is not a tip or trick and we won't do that).
Kitty form in MoP looks to get a graphical update of armor (Horde, Alliance) most likely going to be tied to some achievement, or object, or glyph… who knows.
I have not been very active in the beta, honestly I am waiting for the level cap in the beta to be 90 and then I plan on getting my druid which I copied to max level to see how the questing flow is.
I am very excited about all the features and changes coming in the expansion. It look like account wide achievements is about a done deal and account wide mounts and pets a possibility. The new pet battle system looks like a fun thing, actually in game farmville… I dunno, probably not so much. Maybe Blizzard is trying to fin ways for couples to play together (But honey, while I am raiding you can be tending the farm and battling squirrels!)
I am very much looking forward to the 5 man competitive dungeons, achievements, and rewards. Having something like this to work on with others in the guild with a smaller player group and less time commitment could be really fun and create some niche players for sure.
I hope we don't have too long to wait for the expansion but I am guessing Nov/Dec time frame?
6 of 8 Heroic DS now, MoP talk…
So Requiem is 6/8 Heroic DS now and we are trucking along with a lot of new blood and sitting on a roster of about 31 players for our 25 man raid so we don't ever really have a reason now to take a foot off the gas… which is good because now that MoP Beta is out we only have so much time to finish off current content on and finish up some achievements.
The main reason for my post is a look at the new glyphs. It looks like they are making a lot of the core talents we have had in the past and giving us the ability to keep them through glyphs. Personally I like as we will be able to change our play style much easier between encounters now. Let's take a look…
- Glyph of Amberskin Protection – Reduces the chance you'll be critically hit by 25% while Barkskin is active.
- Glyph of Cat Form – Increases healing done to you by 20% while in Cat Form.
- Glyph of Claw – Your Claw and Mangle (Cat) attacks reduce the movement speed of the target by 50% for 12 sec.
- Glyph of Fae Silence – Faerie Fire used in Bear Form also silences the target for 3 sec, but triggers a 15 sec cooldown.
- Glyph of Frenzied Regeneration – While Frenzied Regeneration is active healing effects on you are 40% more powerful, but causes your Frenzied Regeneration to cost 60 Rage initially and no longer convert rage into health.
- Glyph of Prowl – Reduces the movement penalty of Prowl by 100%.
- Glyph of Shred – While Berserk or Tiger's Fury is active, Shred and Ravage have no positional requirement.
- Glyph of the Chameleon – Each time you shapeshift into Cat Form or Bear Form, your shapeshifted form will have a random hair color.
- Glyph of the Orca – Your Aquatic Form now appears as an Orca.
- Glyph of the Predator – Your Track Humanoids ability now also tracks beasts.
- Glyph of the Stag – Your Travel Form now appears as a Stag and can be used as a mount by party members.
So some pedestrian stuff replacing old talents, some fun stuff giving ferals a little something to play with how they look when shifted including a ridable form that will launch a 100 inappropriate jokes, the ability to track beast which I like, the awesome solo PvE stuff faster with not losing speed when stealthed, and a nonsense glyph which leads me to believe more bosses coming that I can't shred… or lets hope it's for PvP purposes.
As far as the next expac goes I am really liking everything Blizzard is bring to the table. Little pets battles, ranked 5 man dungeons with gear and mount rewards, more LFR goodness, a new race and class, lots of early raid content, and hopefully even account wide mounts, pets, and achievements which might have me playing my hunter more 😉
Runy returns to WOW.
Just a heads up to all you Druids to check out Runyarusco and her blog. You can find the link in my Blogroll of to the right. I really liked her most recent post about the new Dungeon Journal. Although the Journal will be trumped by most progression raiding guilds in favor of watching videos and reading other online resources I really like the fact that some of the more diehard RP players can get their information from within the game that will lead to success.
I don't know about everyone else but I still see constant chat traffic in game asking questions that are easily answered by going to Wowhead or any other of the informational sites available. These people are either lazy, are HEAVY into the social aspect of the game, RP people HEAVY into the Fantasy aspect, or unaware of the Wow community on the WWW. I remember when i started playing Wow all the needless running around I did looking for NPC's, items, mobs, dungeons, etc. My God, I remember when part of the length of leveling was just trying to figure out cryptic quest directions to people, resources, monsters, or places. Then a RL buddy turned me on to Thottbot… thank goodness.
The new Journal extends the solutions Blizzard has offered in aiding people in game with knowing what they need to know. I can see my progression 10 man raid team using it quite a bit since we like to do a lot of fights "Our Style" which is sometimes very different than the standard way people do fights, usually tweaked because of our lack of range DPS. It will also be a good and fast resource when trying to determine why people died. How many times in a raid do you hear "What killed you?" and then "What is that?" LOL. Less tabbing out of the game to look something up is always a good thing (for those of you with single monitor setups). I think pugs will also benefit as it is a place people can learn a little about what they are getting into as a party forms.
Hey Blizz, go a step further now and create a resources journal of where to find ore, herbs, fish, leather, etc… mats… a mats dictionary… and give me a 3rd spec already.
Incentives to Tank?
Just a quick shout out to the Blizzard folks that may or may not read my blog.
As everyone knows by now when using the LFG tool for 5 mans, if you are a tank you get a chance at getting some extra loot for filling a role of need.
It sucks that it takes something like this to get more Tanks in the Q. Also, it seems that the newness of the perk has already worn off as I am back to 45 minute wait times as a DPS.
So why do we have the issue in the first place?
- It's harder to lead. Tanks are expected to lead and few really want that responsibility with strangers.
- It's less fun than DPS and healing. I would agree at the possibility it is less fun than DPS but no more so than healing and finding healers seems fine which takes us back to point 1.
- Having to change or tweak/Change specs constantly.
To fix #1, add a NPC guide that leads the instance. They mark and call for CC on the mobs that need it and give a packaged description of each boss. The NPC can be dismissed from the run by the tank and leader.
It's hard to fix #2. They have constantly been working on making Tanking fun.
I believe the only thing left they could do is add a kiting component to tanking somehow. Personally I have fun tanking. I would almost say it is just as engaging as DPS and the largest difference is #1, the responsibility. Yes, I know we already have some kiting… I meant more of a permanent mechanic that allows kiting in order to minimize damage when you have a healer or DPS that are inexperienced. CD's are great for that "Oh Crap" moment but doesn't allow the skill of the individual player to really shine in minimizing damage for the duration of combat.
#3. Give classes that can tank a 3rd Spec. I tell you right now I would tank a 5 man every night If I had a tanking spec. Right now I have a Feral DPS spec and a Balance DPS spec. Some people have a spec specifically for raiding encounters and have to change it a little to run 5 mans. My feral Spec is Hybrid and has tanking in mind because I tank adds on Nef and Mal. I have a boom spec specifically for Cho. I am not going to respec every few days I order to run 5 mans. I would rather watch TV and sit in the Q… and I consider myself a pet and mount collector… and I still won't tank because it's a hassle (see 1 and 3).
Solve #3 and I am willing to lead. Stop sucking the fun out of the game Blizzard and give us Hybrid classes another Spec already.
Amazing what a 3rd night can do Part 2.
So we extended our raid week once again to include a third night and we downed Nef.
Things that contributed to our success…
- We stopped kiting Nef in phase 3. We held her in place along the east wall and everyone (except the adds tank and healer) stood between her and the wall.
- We pushed a pre phase 2 crackle. Not easy but needed to reduce fire in phase 3.
- We did not push a phase 2 crackle. With only 2 ranged it's not the easiest thing to do anyway.
- We didn't fail at interrupts in phase 2.
- We staggered cooldowns very well after phase 3 crackles.
The fight had been nerfed in 10's as phase 2 damage is greatly reduced but ultimately since we didn't push a crackle in phase 2 it really didn't help us much.
Our guild is now 2nd in 10's progression on server and a big Congo Rats goes out to Team Synergy for their Heroic progression this last week. Team Heraldz hopes to get some catching up done but alias we have a main healer out for the month of May so not sure how that is going to go… ugh.
4.1 has made swipe downright silly. I will be surprised if it doesn't get nerfed soon but we can always hope it stays. Multiple 20K+ crits from swipe is pretty funny though. I pulled 72K DPS on the Sindragosa trash as we ran into ICC to knock out the LK Heroic achieve we still needed for the guild. This was using swipe and berserk.
I am liking the new 5 man encounters released this patch. It is a great way to gear up for an alternate spec and the gear level prereq's make for less failed runs. ZA is WAY too easy IMHO if you ran it back in the BC days. The fights are the same but have been watered down for 5 mans. I was lucky and got a couple boom upgrades right away. (Helm and Shoulders, raiding has been cruel for casting leather). ZG is harder but fun.
Now that I have personally cleared all T11 normal content I can safely say the only fight where ranged vs melee balance can be an issue is on Cho. I still switch to Balance for that fight. As far as Heroics go we will see. In Heroic Hal I am a tank for drakes for the first half of the fight and we do fine with only 2 ranged. As we push forward now in BWD Heroics I will report back our success with only 2 ranged and myself as kitty and whether or not I have to run balance for us to have success.

Ann Coulter Is A Brilliant, Handsome Woman I Wish Would Marry Me
A man would be lucky to have the so soft, delicate flower hands of Ann Coulter holding his when walking down aisle to get married and happily have kids together in bright Hollywood style future.
But no! No, too many sinful men and jealous women in this country have the hearts hardened against the message and jaw-dropping beauty of Ann Coulter. They fail to appreciate the treasure of this woman.
Since moving to Western world only 2 years ago, every day I rise early like the bright morning sun to bathe in the warm rays of Ann Coulter's beauty. On the talk shows her words are as gentle as her face. Those who are known liberals always love to regularly attack Ann. Is it because Ann is a bad person? No, no it is not.
Media says Ann Coulter is a racist. Others say she does not love her country. These lies and propaganda make my anger grow slowly by slowly.
How can such a gentle creature who loves her country secretly harbor so much hate?
The answer is that she does not hate. Ann Coulter loves God and country, and I am sure wants to start to love a man too.
Men of today have been caught in temptation of wanting woman who is loose in values and morals, not one of character, respect and dignity like Ann Coulter. This is why so many divorces.
While the package of sin may look shiny on the outside, it is always rotten on inside. Ann Coulter is a woman whose outer beauty matches the good-ness within. Look to her example if you need to find a good moral woman of faith in your life.
I am still single myself, and always am looking to find perfect mate. If I ever get contact from Ann Coulter, rest assured I will think he who is above all for my rich blessings!
In His Service,
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

Lost tool roll alert: if anyone was biking through Estabrook Woods around Concord, MA this afternoon, and came across a blue and grey tool roll, I lost mine. I think it fell off somewhere in Estabrook woods. It had a nice crank bros pump, Park multi-tool, tire levers and patch kit.
If you happen to find it, I'd be happy to come by and pick it up, bringing a reward with me for your good samaritanism.

I'm glad we still stayed in the Top 25 after the Iowa loss, so we're stabilized I think. Can't say the same for Green Bay, which feel totally out of the rankings after losing to Marquette (making that Michigan win look better and better).

Second prenatal visit
Everyone prepared me for what would happen on my first prenatal visit, but what happens on the second visit? Do they do another ultrasound or hear the baby's heart beat? I'm just curious bc my husband has only a few days he can take off and wants to make sure hes at all the important visits.

My husband went to the first few visits, then again during the second ultrasound (between 16-24 weeks), and then during my 39 week visit (good thing too because they sent me straight to the hospital afterwards!) Most of the visits in between are just the routine measuring and such. You should probably hear the heartbeat at the second visit, and then you will again throughout every visit after that. Good luck!posted 02/12/2008 by sheats115
i agree - the second apt depends on varying factors. we're having our third baby and typically the second apt will just be answering any questions/concerns you may have and listening to the heart beat via the doppler. however if your first apt was early in your pregnancy they may have to do a second ultra sound to 'see' the heart beat - that happened to me with my second child my first apt was around 6wks and they again confirmed the pregnancy at my second apt i was around 10wks via the ultra sound as she was too little for the doppler. i also think it can depend on whether you have a HMO or a PPO some private doc, like my sisters took more time and were more accomodating to requests you might haveposted 05/31/2012 by kirstanyos
I wanted to know the same thing I just had an US at 7w6d and I was schedualed for another apt in 4 weeks. I will be 11w6d by thenposted 05/14/2012 by evilvenus666
On my second visit they were going to try and hear the heartbeat but my baby was still too little so they did an ultrasound and we got to see the baby and he was alot more active the first time. So you never know what could happen. My husband couldn't go to the first one but made it to the second one which was nice becasue he got to see the baby too.posted 12/15/2008 by Lizabeth58

Oregon's Cascades, between Mount Hood and Crater Lake, provide a treasure trove of hot springs and waterfalls, which make a good combination for hikers and nature lovers. Here's a roundup, from Breitenbush to Silver Falls.
When Courtney McConaghy and Jason Heller took a rafting trip down the chilly waters of Oregon's McKenzie River recently, their guide pointed out a hot-spring pool that lay right beside the river. Intrigued, and chilled from the 40-degree water, they returned to the springs that evening for a warm soak.
"The river is 40, and this is about 90," Heller said as the pair, on vacation from California, relaxed and chatted in the rocky, fern-draped pool known as Deer Creek Hot Springs, with the whitewater river tumbling beside them.
Geothermal activity and heavy winter snowfall combine to pepper Oregon's mountains with hot springs and the waterfalls that gave the Cascade Range its name. And many of both are easily accessible via beautiful forest hikes, making this the perfect destination for a water-and-walking trip.
The biggest concentration of hot springs and waterfalls hikes lies in the Cascade Mountains and foothills between Mount Hood and Crater Lake, and the McKenzie River area provides one of the best combinations.

Most Read Stories
The 26-mile McKenzie River National Recreation Trail is popular with mountain bikers and hikers (access points along the trail allow hikers to pop in and out for shorter segments). It follows the McKenzie River, home to Deer Creek Hot Springs as well as nearby Belknap Hot Springs, a developed resort with lodging and swimming pools.
Terwilliger Hot Springs
Just to the south of the McKenzie is Terwilliger Hot Springs, a relatively undeveloped multipool spring near Cougar Reservoir. The popular springs are at the end of a pretty half-mile hike from the reservoir's edge.
Terwilliger is owned by the U.S. Forest Service, which contracts with a private outfit to lightly manage the site (as with many hot springs owned by the Forest Service, there's a $5 fee to enter). "Our focus has been to try to make it a family-friendly spot," said Judy McHugh, a Forest Service spokeswoman.
Like many public hot springs in Oregon, Terwilliger is clothing-optional. Folks go without for many reasons ranging from practical (it's easier to dry off) to philosophical (many consider the springs sacred places, and they want to experience them au naturel). If you're wearing a bathing suit, unclothed people likely will avoid staring at you in just the same way you're avoiding staring at them.
Waterfalls, too
Just east of Cougar Reservoir, Proxy Falls is one of many waterfall hikes along the McKenzie River corridor. This short-loop hike is great for families and leads to the bottom of a plume that seems to disappear in porous volcanic rocks below.
Just north of Deer Creek Hot Springs is another great spot to hike: Sahalie Falls, one of Oregon's gems. Although the falls themselves are close to the road, a three-mile loop, part of the McKenzie River trail, winds from Sahalie to Koosah Falls and on to the campground at Carmen Reservoir, passing whitewater much of the way. Given the number of nearby campgrounds, it's easy to spend a day hiking to waterfalls and follow that up with a hot-springs soak and a night on the shores of a lake.
Breitenbush Hot Springs
Somewhere between camping and Belknap Hot Springs, philosophically, is Breitenbush Hot Springs, a lightly developed resort catering to health-conscious folks seeking a retreat. The resort has charming 1930s-era wood-shingled cabins, as well as a number of small soaking pools. Three vegetarian meals are served cafeteria-style each day, and the cost of your stay includes yoga. The Breitenbush River National Recreational Trail borders the property; many visitors do a five-mile loop around the resort and return for dinner and a soak before bedtime. Breitenbush's pools (though not the rest of the resort) are clothing-optional.
Silver Falls and Opal Creek
For magnificent falls and cool pools, head west to Silver Falls State Park and the Opal Creek Scenic Recreation Area, both in the foothills between Salem and the Cascades. Silver Falls' waterfalls are truly spectacular plumes, many of which hikers can walk behind. The Trail of Ten Falls takes you past, yes, 10 waterfalls, in 8 miles.
The Opal Creek area is Oregon's largest old-growth watershed. Its miles of hikes go past pools, over bridges and among trees that are up to 1,000 years old. Opal Creek's waters are so clear you can see every detail of the streambed beneath it, but they are nothing close to warm.
Bagby Hot Springs
One of the trails at Opal Creek runs 17.5 miles across a ridge to the remarkable Bagby Hot Springs (www.bagbyhotsprings.org), which is much easier to access via a 1.5-mile hike from a trailhead off Highway 224 to the north. Like most in the area, the trail to Bagby is very well-maintained. The hot springs itself, used by the public for more than 100 years, exemplifies the mix of vandalism and preservation that results when a remote place catches people's interest.
Three beautiful hewn-timber bathhouses, built by volunteers and overseen now by the Forest Service, are surrounded by pristine forest. But they've been tagged, littered and carved up by careless visitors, and the area may or may not be very clean when you visit.
Those working to preserve hot springs, including the Forest Service and volunteer groups, are grateful to those who leave any hot springs cleaner than they found them. "Keep the site natural, because that's what others came to experience," McHugh said.

A sting or bite from any form of marine life, especially salt-water dwellers, may cause this injury.
What are the causes and risks of the injury?
Injury can be caused by bites or stings from many types of marine life, including a:
- jellyfish (including the Portuguese Man-of-War)
- stingray
- stonefish
- scorpion fish
- catfish
- lionfish
- sea urchin
- sea anemone
- hydroid
- moray eel
- electric eel
- shark
- barracuda
What can be done to prevent the injury?
There are many ways to prevent getting a marine animal sting or bite. A person should:
- wear protective clothing or water shoes
- not run into the water or dive in head-first
- supervise children when they enter the water
- splash or shuffle the feet when entering the water to ward off stingrays
- not touch unfamiliar marine animals no matter how attractive they are
- not swim with open wounds
- not wear bright, shiny clothing, jewelry, or equipment while swimming
It is safest to swim at patrolled beaches. If an injury does occur despite precautions, a lifeguard or ranger may be able to help.
How is the injury recognized?
Sudden pain is usually the first sign of a marine animal bite or sting. A swimmer may notice a jellyfish floating nearby, or feel a stingray or sea urchin beneath the foot.
What are the treatments for the injury?
Treatment varies depending on what caused the injury.
Jellyfish, hydroids and anemones have tentacles that stick to the skin. These should be removed. If possible, vinegar may be applied to inactivate the stinging cells, called nematocysts.
Once inactivated, the tentacles should be gently lifted from the skin. The sting site should then be washed with soap and water. Afterward, a hydrocortisone cream may be applied to the skin.
The venom of scorpion fish, lionfish, stonefish, catfish, stingrays, and sea urchins produce severe pain at the bite site. Because the venom is a protein that is broken down quickly by heat, the wound area should be immersed in water as hot as can be tolerated. The area should be left in the hot water for 60 to 90 minutes while the victim is transmitted to a medical facility.
Pieces of spines or fins are often left broken inside the skin during the sting. The person should remove these with a gloved hand. If they are unable to remove them, they should have a healthcare professional remove them with an instrument. The wound should be cleansed well with soap and water, and an antibiotic ointment applied.
Sharks, moray eels, and barracudas can injure the skin with their teeth. These animals do not have venom or poison. The wound should be cleansed with soap and water, and may need sutures. It should be examined to be sure that it is free of debris.
A person may be given:
- a tetanus booster (using the DTaP vaccine) if he or she has not had one within the previous 3-5 years
- antibiotics if infection is present
Pain can usually be controlled with acetaminophen (i.e., Tylenol) or ibuprofen (i.e., Advil, Motrin). Sometimes stronger pain medication is required.
Side Effects
What are the side effects of the treatments?
A tetanus shot may cause tenderness at the injection site.
Antibiotics may cause:
- stomach upset
diarrhea allergic reaction to the medication
Pain relievers may cause stomach upset.
After Treatment
What happens after treatment for the injury?
The injured person may feel pain for many hours after the sting or bite. The wound should be watched closely for signs of infection. Signs of infection include redness, swelling, drainage at the site, and a fever. These signs should be reported to a healthcare professional. Usually there are no long-term effects after a marine bite or sting. Occasionally a marine bite can cause death, especially with a Portuguese Man-of-War sting.

'REDD+ and the 2020 Aichi Biodiversity Targets: Promoting Synergies in International Forest Conservation Efforts' is the UN-REDD Programme's fifth Policy Brief. It explores how REDD+ actions and the achievement of the Convention on Biological Diversity's Aichi Biodiversity Targets can complement one another. Action for REDD+ can help to achieve the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, and vice versa, in many but not all cases. The report considers five Aichi Biodiversity Targets and their potential synergies with REDD+ planning and implementation. It concludes with some options that may be useful for REDD+ and NBSAP decision makers to consider to enhance synergies. The Policy Brief is illustrated with examples from the Philippines and Tanzania.

Financial Sector Reacts To SCOTUS Ruling
More reaction to the SCOTUS ruling via Associated Press, this time from the financial services sector.
NEW YORK (AP) — Citi Investment Research analyst Carl McDonald:
"The decision to uphold the individual mandate was one of the few Supreme Court outcomes that shouldn't result in much volatility — The decision essentially maintains the status quo. We can argue the stocks might be off a little, since there was hope the court would eliminate some of the negative aspects of health reform, but at the same time, it's easy enough to argue for the stocks to rise a bit now that we've gotten through this significant overhang.
"The macro picture in the second half of 2012 seems to favor the managed care plans — If President Obama is re-elected, it again affirms to us the status quo that is currently reflected in valuations. If Republicans win in November, we would expect the group to rise up to 20 percent in the aftermath given the favorable impact Republicans could have on 2014 earnings. With the election polls basically 50/50 right now, that's a pretty compelling risk reward scenario for the group."
Goldman Sachs analyst Matthew Borsch:
"Managed Care: An incremental negative but may imply less uncertainty: We expect selling pressure on managed care given our belief that investors would have seen an overturn of reform as a better outcome for the sector. However, we think any selling pressure will be modest since this ruling is the outcome most investors had anticipated prior to the oral arguments in late March. Moreover, this ruling implies less uncertainty than any other outcome, in our view, and avoids the 'mandate only' outcome we believe many investors saw as 'worst case.' Meanwhile, this ruling is net positive for Medicaid names (Amerigroup Corp., Centene Corp., Molina Healthcare Inc., WellCare Health Plans Inc.) since Medicaid coverage expansion survives (even though the Court apparently has given states the ability to 'opt out' of the expansion). We maintain our 'Neutral' coverage view and 2012-2014 EPS, which already reflect current law, for Medicaid and commercial / Medicare.
Hospitals the 'net winners' under this outcome: We expect hospital names will trade up on this ruling as it represents their "best case" outcome, in our view, setting up 2014 to be a good year if the coverage expansion is fully implemented on schedule. However, pressures on the outlook from other sources (e.g., responses to the fiscal cliff) remain and uncertainty over the fate of reform will remain high ahead of elections. We maintain our earnings per share (already reflects current law) for our covered hospital names (HCA Holdings Inc., Community Health Systems Inc., and Tenet Healthcare Corp.)."
FBR Capital Markets analyst Benjamin Salisbury:
"On first read, we view this as most positive for hospitals and somewhat positive for pharma and insurers. It is likely to be viewed most negatively for medical device manufacturers and neutral to somewhat negative for rehab, nursing, and home health. This decision was largely unexpected as consensus expected a repeal of the individual mandate. Although that uncertainty has been alleviated, the law will continue to be a focus in the election and potentially Congress next year."
A group of Jefferies & Co. analysts:
"A status quo Supreme Court decision provides visibility and clarity on the forward operating environment for both providers and payors. This morning's rally in providers could be limited as investors turn their focus back to weak fundamentals, the upcoming elections and deficit-reduction initiatives. For payors, we expect better earnings performance in the second quarter (due to soft utilization trends) and Medicare Advantage and Medicaid member growth."
"With Medicaid expansion AND the individual mandate upheld, the outcome of the Supreme Court decision was slightly better than what most investors had expected (i.e. mandate gone). Having the whole law upheld is driving strength in providers as it keeps key beneficial provisions in place (i.e. those that reduce the uninsured), but we believe the rally will be short-lived. While the Supreme Court decision eliminates a key, long-standing overhang on provider stocks, we believe that investor focus will gradually shift over the next few months to other looming issues such as the elections, the doc fix later this year, and a likely deficit reduction/debt ceiling bill in early 2013, so we expect the momentum in the provider group to be relatively short-lived, particularly as investors in the crowded 'long hospital' trade begin to take profits."
Mizuho Securities analyst Michael Matson
"The Supreme Court has upheld the individual mandate and Medicaid expansion. We think this is neutral for med tech stocks. While the medical device excise tax remains, the individual mandate and Medicaid expansion should lead to a decline in the uninsured during 2014-2016 and an increase in med tech procedures that could partially offset the excise tax."
BMO Capital Markets analyst Dave Shove:
"Managed Care: No New Surprises – The whole group has been preparing for Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act since its passage, which is the good news. The bad news, for some players, is that the small group and individual market will remain a tough sandbox to play in.
Hospitals: More Insurance Coverage – Medicaid expansion was designed to provide more than 15 million people with healthcare coverage by 2016, which would reduce the amount of uncompensated care that flows through hospitals. Now – without a big stick – the expansion after that is unknown. Profitability and cash flow are poised for medium-term improvement – how much improvement is really the question now.
Pharmacy Benefits Managers: Yawn – As the most insulated group from the reform fallout in 2010, the PBMs remain largely unaffected."
Barclays Capital analyst C. Anthony Butler:
"This ruling came as a surprise to some investors, who in recent days have been expecting the overturning of the individual mandate if not the entire act. We believe that today's decision has minimal effect on the fundamentals of the U.S. pharmaceutical companies, and there is unlikely to be any long term effect on the valuations of the sector.
The industry has been impacted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act since its enactment in 2010. In 2011, manufacturers started paying a 50 percent discount to Medicare Part D beneficiaries whose are in the so-called 'donut hole' or coverage gap. There were also increased rebates to Medicaid programs. The sector have been paying an industry excise fee — totaling $2.5 billion in 2011 and $2.8 billion in 2012 for the entire sector — which has been recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. Starting in 2013, those companies with medical device exposure (i.e. Johnson & Johnson, Abbott Laboratories) will need to pay a 2.3 percent deductible tax on U.S. medical device sales.
We expect increased health care coverage in the pool of uninsured Americans (around 35 million) starting in 2014, though the actual volume upside may be lower and more modest then some expect."
