Gill Stadium has been much more than just a ballparkSpecial to the Union Leader
July 05. 2013 8:59PM
This is the fifth in a series of articles from the Gill Stadium Centennial Committee leading up to the facility's 100-year anniversary on Sept. 8.
Best known for baseball but also renowned as the site of some legendary high school football games, Gill Stadium at times during its nearly 100-year history has served as a year-round facility — and not just for sports.
When it opened as Textile Field in 1913, the stadium included an oval track for middle- and long-distance footraces, as well as a straight track for sprints and other areas for field events. Auto races also took place on the track, and in October 1925, auto polo made its debut in what by then had become Athletic Park, with two-driver teams wielding mallets from behind the wheel.
Decades before the construction of JFK Coliseum beyond its outfield fence, the stadium housed its own hockey rink for the first time in 1922. Three years later, the 270-by-142-foot rink served as home to the fledgling Manchester City Hockey League.
Long popular in Manchester, boxing finally made it into the stadium in 1926 with a five-bout card featuring such local favorites as Johnny "The Polish Flash" Harko and Louie Prince.
Soccer has been a fixture at the stadium almost since its inception, and lacrosse games have been played there, too.
Gill has housed circuses and carnivals and, on at least one occasion, the Miss New Hampshire pageant. In 1925, a Miss Yvonne Fredette received her crown inside the stadium.
And it wasn't just circuses and carnivals that brought animal acts inside the facility's brick walls. You've heard of donkey basketball? Well, in 1936 Gill was used for a game of donkey baseball, with prominent local citizens taking their cuts and shagging pop-ups aboard the backs of beasts of burden.
At least one show at the stadium bombed. Literally. On Oct. 6, 1942, a crowd of about 6,000 turned out to see "Action Overhead," a display in which a model city was destroyed by incendiary bombs detonated by members of the U.S. Army.
Nine years later, another soldier created a sensation in the city when Pfc. Eddie Fisher sang at Gill. One of the era's top crooners, as well as one of its top heartthrobs, Fisher had been drafted a year earlier and served as the lead vocalist for the United States Army Band. No model cities were destroyed, but several hearts reportedly were broken.

New Medicaid computer system doesn't end errorsBy NANCY WEST
New Hampshire Sunday News
July 20. 2013 9:28PM
Four months after the controversial $90 million Medicaid computer system finally began operating, some providers say they aren't getting paid properly, while another said her office was being paid 10 times the expected amount on some claims.
The Medicaid Management Information System has been frequently delayed since being contracted in 2005 to a firm now owned by Xerox.
It is causing ongoing frustration, with no end in sight, according to Bruce Burns, Concord Hospital's chief financial officer.
"We've got a $5 million backlog in Medicaid payments," Burns said.
Some of the confusion involved simple coding problems and billing rules that should have been caught before the system went live March 31, Burns said.
Concord Hospital isn't alone. "Anybody touched by Medicaid recipients is being impacted by this," Burns said.
It is taking far too long to get up and running, Burns said. "It was not well-managed through this process," he said.
Burns said he has tried to find out when it will be working properly. "They seem to not want to commit to a time frame to get the problems corrected," he said.
Health and Human Services Commissioner Nicholas Toumpas acknowledged there have been problems since the system went live, but they were to be expected with such a huge project.
"We have been dealing with a major systems conversion," Toumpas said. "I'm not saying everything is perfect, but it has gone remarkably smoothly. The system is stable, and I'm pleased overall with where we are."
Tina Emery, a reimbursement specialist at Seacoast Orthopedics & Sport Medicine in Somersworth, said Medicaid paid $500 for one claim that she would have expected to receive only $50. Another was paid at $300 when she expected $50.
When she calls the state about the problems, they don't know the reason, Emery said. She is then forced to fill out more forms.
The orthopedic surgery practice has 10 doctors and six physician assistants. Emery suspects the $500 payment for a surgical assistant was paid out as if it were a surgeon by mistake.
She has also received a denial for an assistant surgeon that didn't make sense, especially since Medicaid rules haven't changed in the meantime.
"In my mind, it should have been paid," Emery said. "When I called to ask why it was denied, the girl couldn't tell me. They can't seem to answer questions. They don't know the answers."
Emery, otherwise, praised the workers on the other end of the phone as being pleasant, even if they didn't know how to fix the problems.
"They need to work out the bugs," she said.
Emery was told there is no billing manual, a guide that explains the rules and regulations and how to bill insurers."I was told the powers that be were still working on the billing manual," Emery said.
The governor and Executive Council approved a $60 million contract to upgrade the Medicaid computer system in 2005, but the cost has risen to $90 million because of changes required by the state and federal governments, according to Toumpas.
"We have not paid anything more for the core system for which we contracted," Toumpas said. "What has changed is the additional costs for modifications we wanted or the federal government mandated."
Kevin Lightfoot, vice president of communications for Xerox, said in an email: "... I did hear back from the state (our client) and I understand they will be addressing your questions regarding the New Hampshire MMIS contract."
Gov. Maggie Hassan didn't respond to a request for an interview about the MMIS computer system. Her spokesman, Marc Goldberg, sent an email stating: "Implementing the new MMIS system, an innovative program that will significantly improve coordination of health care services, is a substantial undertaking."
Goldberg said Health and Human Services could better respond when asked how the computer payment system would improve the coordination of health care services and copied the question via email to Health and Human Services spokesman Kris Nielsen.
Nielsen said there was no one in the office Friday afternoon who could answer that question, that it would be answered next week.
Goldberg's email went on to say: "Like all new systems of this scope, issues will arise that need to be worked through and addressed as quickly as possible, and we are working closely with DHHS to ensure that they are addressing issues and keeping providers informed about the implementation process."
In New Hampshire, Medicaid, a government insurance plan for some low-income people, pays about $1.1 billion in claims a year for about 130,000 recipients to 14,000 providers. Medicaid is a 50-50 split of state and federal money, Toumpas said.
Toumpas said there have been 15 payment cycles since the system went live, paying about $20 million in claims a week.
Toumpas said he hadn't heard any concerns about overpayments or duplicative payments. The system has been very stable, with little down time, he said.
But he concedes that about 40 percent of the claims have been suspended until further analysis is done.
"Over 60 percent of claims are paid or denied appropriately, and roughly 40 percent are going into suspense," Toumpas said, meaning no determination would be made on whether to pay without researching the claim.
Providers were told at the outset they could receive contingency payments to make sure their cash flow wasn't interrupted, he said.
A new call center has opened with 15 to 20 people to respond to questions, Toumpas said, adding Xerox is paying for them.
"If somebody has other issues and frustrations, the appropriate venue is to come talk with me," Toumpas said. "I encourage them to do that."

There are some appliances that we have in the house that we cannot do without. They constantly help in making our lives simpler, easier, and more convenient. Over time, these appliances can spoil for one reason or the other. It could be because of an accidental failure or a mechanical problem. As long as the appliances cannot do what they are supposed to do regularly, you will not be comfortable at all. Professional appliance repair in Steubenville would be a good idea for you to consider in this case. You can look at some of the contractors in your region and then choose one who would best address your concerns.
How much will you spend on small appliance repair in Steubenville? This will, in most cases, depend on the contractor you will hire for these services. Most professionals charge an hourly rate to service small appliances, especially if the problem comes as a result of a technical failure. In case you need to have some parts replaced, getting spares will cost you more, especially if the parts to be replaced are not locally available. Simple appliance repair services can cost around $40 an hour and up to $85 an hour for more complex jobs.
There are some companies that charge a flat minimum rate for their Steubenville appliance repair services. This fee usually covers the cost of getting to your premise and diagnosing the problem of your appliance. After they find the reason for the damage, they can then discuss the cost, the method of repair, and also advise you on how to take better care of the appliance. To avoid spending more in the future, you should try and make sure you follow the instructions discussed to the latter.
For reference it may be helpful to compare the costs from surrounding towns as well:
This can prove to be quite a challenge for you. There are many contractors you can choose from. The appliances you have at home are quite expensive so make sure you hire a professional for appliance repair in Steubenville. Search online for local contractors, especially the ones who have a good reputation having repaired appliances for many people in your home area. Local contractors are preferable because they can easily assist you in the event of an emergency.
In most cases, only once. This is the initial visit. It is impossible for your Steubenville appliance repair contractor to give you a quote over the phone without seeing the appliance that they are supposed to repair. They need to inspect it and figure out the reason for the damage and from there they can also give you an accurate quote for the repair services. Any company or contractor that provides a quote for their work before seeing the appliance first may end up charging you more in the end.
Referrals are important because they give you a confidence boost when you need an expert for appliance repair in Steubenville. You might not know all the contractors in the region, but you might know someone who has been assisted by one of them. This will not just get you access to a good contractor, but will also help you save on the cost of searching for one.

Jason King of ESPN.com, in his weekly column about college basketball, took a portion of his report to write about Oklahoma senior Romero Osby.
The hiring of Lon Kruger before last season is certainly the biggest factor in Oklahoma's resurgence. But a large of amount of credit should also be given to power forward Romero Osby, who is quietly having one of the better seasons of any player in the Big 12.
Osby scored 29 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in Monday's 73-67 victory over Texas and is averaging 19.2 points and 7.2 rebounds in his last five games. A senior, Osby transferred to OU in 2010 after spending two seasons as a role player at Mississippi State.
"I want to make it to the tournament," he said. "I got to go when I was at Mississippi State but I wasn't a significant part of that team.
"I've been trying to go hard every day in practice. I went hard all summer, working harder than I've ever worked in my life. Things have just been clicking for me."
Osby, who is averaging 14.5 points and 6.5 boards on the season, said some changes to his diet have helped enhance his game. He said he's sworn off Kool-Aid and fried foods (at least for now) and instead opts for healthier options.
"I mainly drink water and Gatorade," he said. "In Mississippi, all we eat is fried food. But I can't do that right now. I went from 245 to 227 over the summer and it's made a big difference. I'm just spending more time in the gym running and getting up shots and ball-handling."
Osby said the addition of Wyoming transfer Amath M'Baye has also helped detract attention away from in the paint. So has a new-and-improved backcourt that features Buddy Hield and Je'lon Hornbeak.
Oklahoma is 13-4 overall and 4-1 in Big 12 play. The Sooners' next two games are road tilts against Kansas and Baylor.
"We're trying to take it one day at a time," Osby said. "People are patting us on our back and telling us we're doing well. But we have 14 games left. The storm is about to hit. We've got to go to Kansas and we've got to go to Baylor. We know we can't rest on our laurels."

Proposed Manchester Walmart plan clears legal hurdleBy DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 18. 2013 10:30PM
MANCHESTER — It looks like the last legal roadblock against a Walmart Supercenter on Gold Street is gone.
The state Supreme Court has upheld a lower court's dismissal of a suit on which opponents had pinned their hopes as they attempted to block Walmart's four-year effort to build the supercenter at the site of the former Associated Grocers warehouse.
The ruling came in the second of two suits filed by opponents. Final briefs in the suit were filed in late June.
The latest ruling, issued Oct. 11, affirmed a Hillsborough County North Superior Court decision that the city's board of mayor and aldermen properly approved altering Gold and Sewall streets by installing gates.
The high court said it did not need oral arguments, but that the briefs and record submitted on appeal were sufficient to make the decision in which all five justices concurred.
Hannaford Brothers, which has a supermarket one street away on John E. Devine Drive, and other nearby companies had filed two suits in an effort to block construction of the proposed 188,000-square-foot store, which would include a full-service supermarket.
One of the suits seeking to block the proposal challenged the planning board decisions that allowed Walmart to move forward. The board required Walmart to make $3.5 million in improvements to nearby roads and to convince the city to gate off the residential portions of Gold and Sewall streets.
The second suit challenged the board of mayor and aldermen's decision to gate off the two streets.
In January, the high court affirmed the lower court decision that upheld the planning board approval. Last week's decision affirmed the lower court ruling dismissing the Hannaford and Victory Distributors appeal of the aldermen's decision.
Walmart first went before the planning board in September 2009. The planning board approved the project in December 2009 and the board of mayor and aldermen followed suit in March 2010.
Asked Friday when work might begin on the supercenter project, Amanda Henneberg, a Walmart spokesman, said in an email: "We do not have a start date for construction yet."
The supermarket landscape in the area has changed dramatically since Walmart first proposed the supercenter.
Hannaford still has its stores on John E. Devine Drive and on Colby Court in Bedford, but Stop & Shop closed all six of its New Hampshire stores, including the one at 777 S. Willow St., and Shaw's store at 375 S. Willow St. was one of six it recently closed in New Hampshire.
Meanwhile, Market Basket opened stores on Elm Street in downtown Manchester and on Donald Street in Bedford, near the intersection of routes 114 and 101.

BOSTON (AP) - David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox romped to their third World Series championship in 10 seasons, thumping October ace Michael Wacha and the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 Wednesday night in Game 6.
Shane Victorino drove in four runs and John Lackey pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning as the Red Sox clinched a crown on their own field for the first time since 1918.
Fenway Park was rollicking, with the crowd standing from the very first pitch. Victorino lined a three-run double off the Green Monster in the third, and the cheers, chants and singing of "Sweet Caroline" only got louder after that.
Many fans paid over $1,000 per ticket for this night, eager to be part of an in-house celebration that had been building for nearly a century.
Ortiz drew three walks and scored twice. He reached base a whopping 19 times in 25 plate appearances.

Not to be confused with "Post Pardum Depression" which is a serious medical condition requiring treatment, "Post Hardon Depression" generally passes on it's own. It occurs for a man, following sex when he is left with that feeling of ennui, so well expressed in the Peggy Lee song, "Is That All There Is?"
Seeing Farquar's long face, George asks, 'What happen...you look like your dog just died?' Farquar replies, 'No, nothing like that, I just had great sex with my girlfriend, but now have Post Hardon Depression.' George, replies, 'Oh man, I feel your pain.'

Missouri's foster care system: Missing the MARC
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what is the value of 11,000 pictures must be immeasurable? Based on figures from the Missouri Children's Division, more than 11,000 children reside in foster care in the State of Missouri. More than 11,000 Missouri foster children wonder if today is the day they get to see brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, or if today is the day they move to yet another "placement" as it's called in "the system." "Placement." A cold, sterile word for referring to a home. Imagine being torn from the arms of Mom or Dad and being swept away by a stranger, someone called a caseworker, and dropped off with a garbage bag of clothes—whatever the caseworker could grab, if anything at all—then told in the car ride not to be afraid, that you're going to live with a new family and suddenly arriving at a strange place, being told this is your new house. A child is then expected to seamlessly fall into the routine and expectations of this new "foster family," folks selected and assigned to her to nurture, care, and provide. Confused thoughts, worrisome fears, the unknowns … feeling like life has been diminished, only to arrive at a home where the family is struggling to make ends meet and can barely afford to put food on the table. Is this what it means to be rescued? If no foster homes are available, she will have to live in a facility? This is reality for Missouri's foster children, and because of alarmingly low foster care reimbursement rates, the future of assuring a solid pool of foster homes is uncertain. According to Rebecca Woelfel, Communications Director for the Missouri Department of Social Services, of the 11,000 children in foster care statewide, 28 reside in Cooper County, with the average child being 9-10 years of age. Many of these children are burdened with medical and/or emotional needs due to abuse and neglect. There is a need for more foster homes. Woelfel stated, "There is always a need for foster homes." She shared that, "The Children's Division makes every effort to match the strengths of families with the individual needs of children in care … The more homes we have available, the better our chances of finding a good match for the child close to his/her home." The sad reality is that many people choose not foster, who otherwise would, because of financial barriers. It is expensive to raise a child. But, what about raising someone else's child? Yes, it still costs money, even beyond the minimal current reimbursement rates for providing foster care. The breakdown for reimbursement is as follows, remaining unchanged since July of 2008: Monthly maintenance: $282 for children ages 0-5 years; $335 for children ages 6-12 years; $372 for children ages 13 and over. Additional monthly infant allowance of $50 for children ages 0-3 to assist with diaper and formula costs. Annual clothing allowance: $250 for children ages 0-5 years; $290 for children 6-12 years; and $480 for children age 13 and over. Most foster parents also qualify for a professional parent payment which is reimbursement of $100 per child, per month. CNN Money Online reported that the cost of raising one child from birth to age 18, for a middle-income family, not including college, is on average $226,920, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This figure has increased nearly 40% in the last decade. With one year of spending hovering near $13,000, this does not come close to the mere $282-472 dollars per month provided from the State to cover the expenses of a child. This is less than half of the Missouri-assigned maximum rate extended for caring for a teenager at $6144, which includes the professional parent bonus and clothing allowance. Caring for an elementary-age foster child would allow for a mere $5,510 annually. The math just doesn't work. According to the University of Missouri extension, a leading reason for the USDA to release the cost of living is for states to determine foster care rates. Missouri's foster care reimbursement rates are close to the lowest in the country, among the bottom four states. The current rates would need to more than double to cover the real costs of raising a child. Children's Rights, a national advocacy group working to reform failing child welfare systems, published extensive reports, the first of its kind specific to "real" minimum adequate rates for children (MARC) in foster care. Children's Rights reports that Missouri needs to increase its rates between 120-131%, depending on the age of the child, to hit the MARC. Missouri's obligation to provide for the basic needs of children in foster care clearly dovetails with foster families ensuring that they have the financial means to take on the burden of care. Children's Rights shares that, "Low rates can negatively affect foster parent recruitment and retention, which can set off a chain reaction of long-term life consequences for children." With reports of difficult financial times looming, and no foster care reimbursement rate increases in sight, the question prevails....will fewer families step forward to provide foster care. "When a child welfare system cannot maintain an adequate pool of foster homes, children may be more likely to be placed in institutional facilities, which are costly, or shuttled from placement to placement, an unstable situation which harms children and can decrease their chances of growing up in a permanent family," Children's Rights report. A stigma exists for foster parents asking for—advocating for—more money. It's as if people think they are "just in it for the money." Some think families foster children for the money, the paycheck. I think we can safely dispel this myth for most by looking at the aforementioned numbers where the current rates don't come close to adequately providing for Missouri's foster children's needs. The time has come for Missouri to more closely examine its level of commitment to a population without a voice, children being sent to and fro with no say in the matter. An increase in foster care reimbursement rates will increase quality placements. Missouri social services have missed the MARC (minimum adequate rates for children). There is so much reward in caring for children through foster care, where lives are being changed and saved. Anyone interested in foster care or needing more information should contact the Cooper County Children's Division office at: 409 High Street, Boonville, MO 65233 or call (660) 882-5311. ■

Impersonating police, two men invade disabled man's Rochester home
By John Quinn,
Union Leader Correspondent
ROCHESTER – Two men, one armed with a gun, pretended to be Rochester police officers to gain entry into a disabled man's home Thursday night and steal his prescription drugs, police said.
The incident happened just before 10 p.m. at 312 Portland St. The resident told police two men claiming to be police knocked on his door and, because he requires a wheelchair and could not see who was outside, he opened the door.
The two men immediately demanded prescription drugs and ransacked the older man's home in a search for them, the resident said.
Neither man wore a uniform or had police gear, but one was armed with a small handgun.
The man was not injured in the incident.
One of the intruders is described as a 5-foot-10 white man in his 30s, weighing 135 pounds. He wore a hooded gray jacket, brown shorts and dark shoes and black rimmed eyeglasses.
The second man, who had his face covered by a gray hooded sweatshirt, was between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-8, according to police.
After locating an undisclosed quantity of drugs, the two men left on foot, according to police.
Members of the N.H. State Police K9 team responded, but officers were unable to track down the robbers.
Anyone with information on this robbery is encouraged to contact Detective Robert Frechette, with the Rochester Police Department at (603) 330-7172.

A trial began Monday for a teen suspected of sexually assaulting his half sister in La Plata County.
The boy is charged with aggravated incest. Juveniles found guilty of incest can face a range of penalties, from supervision to incarceration in a youth detention center, and may have to register as sex offenders.
Prosecutors said the boy was 16 years old when he allegedly had inappropriate sexual contact with an 8-year-old girl.
The girl reported the assaults July 18, 2012, in a handwritten letter to her mother. The assaults may have been occurring for a couple of years before the girl reported them, said deputy District Attorney Eric Simonton, during opening statements.
The teen denies any wrongdoing.
His public-defense lawyer, Sean Murray, said the girl has made a lot of allegations against her half brother, but there are no witnesses and there is no physical evidence to corroborate her story. Adults were several feet away in a different room during one alleged assault, yet no one heard the girl scream for help, he told jurors.
Murray faulted investigators and prosecutors for failing to try to collect physical evidence, including performing a rape exam on the girl.
The girl, who is now 9, took the witness stand Monday.
She said her half brother touched her inappropriately, but she didnt give specifics about the type of assaults.
Defense lawyers declined to cross examine her.
The trial is being overseen by District Judge Jeffrey Wilson. It is expected to conclude today or Wednesday. Seven people are serving on the jury, including one alternate.

Ayotte has harsh words for ObamaBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 15. 2013 10:17PM
In a speech focusing on foreign policy, U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire spent her 20 minutes at the Oxon Hill, Md., podium of the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday berating the actions and policies of President Barack Obama as increasingly placing America and its allies in danger.
Ayotte, the junior Republican senator from the Granite State, was harshly critical of the administration's responses and actions to radical Islam, the rebel uprising in Syria, Iran's nuclear ambitions, the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya and the decision to bring the son-in-law of slain terrorist leader Osama bin Laden to the United States for trial.
"Our allies feel uncertain and our enemies feel emboldened," she said. "That's what happens when we lead from behind."
She identified the Sept. 11 attack on the Benghazi consulate, in which four Americans were killed, as the worst example of the administration's foreign policy. Following the attacks, Ayotte pressed the administration for answers about what happened at the consulate. The attack was initially labeled a spontaneous response to an anti-Islamic video, then later called a coordinated terrorist attack.
"Let's be clear: the administration did not and still does not want to come clean with the facts," she said.
"Unfortunately, we still haven't gotten all the answers of what happened," she said. "But I want you to know that we will keep pushing, I will keep pushing to get to the bottom of this debacle."
Ayotte said the administration also erred after catching Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, a son-in-law of Osama bin Laden, and deciding to try him in a civilian court in Manhattan. Ghaith pleaded not guilty Friday morning to conspiring to kill Americans.
"Unbelievably, instead of taking this foreign terrorist to Guantanamo Bay, holding him in military detention, what does this administration do with him? They bring him to New York City, right near where our country was attacked on September 11," she said. "They brought him to a civilian court. They gave him a lawyer. And they told him, 'You have a right to remain silent.' It is shameful."
She said the administration has further failed to halt nuclear enrichment by Iran, which she said could result in opposing factions in the Middle East scrambling to assemble nuclear weapons.

"A nuclear arms race in the world's most volatile region would be like lighting a match in a tinderbox," she said.
"The Obama administration is sending the worst signal to the ayatollahs at a most critical time," she said. "We talk, they enrich. They don't take us seriously. And this leading from behind strategy? It isn't working."
She said Iran recently announced it was enriching uranium at underground centrifuges.
"How many of you believe that they are enriching all of this uranium for peaceful nuclear power or for medical isotopes?" she said. "I don't believe it either."
She also accused Obama of "undercutting" commanders in Afghanistan and of taking passive roles during the Libyan and Syrian rebellions.
"In Syria, we sat on the sidelines while over 70,000 Syrians were slaughtered, ceding our policy to the vetoes of the Russians and the Chinese and the United Nations to a bunch of United Nations bureaucrats," she said.
Several times, Ayotte invoked the memory of former President Ronald Reagan, who she said was a strong leader on foreign policy. She said the country has to go back to his policy of protecting world peace, "because nobody else can."
"If America fails to lead, we will create a vacuum that will empower extremists and make America less safe," she said.

Tons of turned-in, unwanted medication shows public health risk resulting from not following doctors' ordersBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
and MEGHAN PIERCE
Sunday News Correspondent
May 04. 2013 7:18PM
When Granite Staters dropped off more than 2 tons of unwanted or unexpired prescription medications during a dedicated day last weekend, it was a symptom of a $329 billion annual problem plaguing the nation's health care system.
And the cure?
People taking their medication as prescribed until their doctors tell them to stop.
"If you've paid for the prescription, you've already put that money out there, but when you get really big problems is when folks with chronic conditions get off schedule, it can really cause complications," said Scott Larrivee, public relations director for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, the state's largest private insurer.
The issue cost New Hampshire residents an average of $1,110 each last year compared with $1,342 for every American, according to a recently released study from Express Scripts, which manages more than a billion prescriptions each year for tens of millions of patients. (New Hampshire ranked the sixth-lowest in average cost; Vermont came in the lowest, with Massachusetts the seventh-lowest and Maine the ninth-lowest).
The $329 billion figure for 2012 was up 4 percent from the $317 billion estimate for 2011.
The higher costs come as a result of people developing more serious medical problems - requiring more health care for such things as diagnostic tests, surgeries and hospitalizations - than they would have had if they had adhered to their prescription regiment, according to David Whitrap, director of Express Scripts.
Larrivee said health insurance companies don't like spending money on medications that just get thrown away, leading to costly treatment down the line.
"It's definitely a big issue when you talk about medical waste and unnecessary costs that we can avoid," Larrivee said.
He suggested using devices such as dated pill boxes, written reminders or digital alerts.
Whitrap said 69 percent of the people said not taking medication as prescribed was "simple forgetfulness and procrastination." An additional 16 percent not taking medication as directed blamed it on medication costs, with the remaining 15 percent attributing it to clinical questions, such as experiencing a drug interaction or side effect, he said.
But skipping medications comes at a huge cost.
"If you think of non-adherence as a medication condition in and of itself, we spend more money on that than we do on cancer, diabetes and heart disease combined," Whitrap said Friday.
Whitrap said almost $60 billion of that cost would be eliminated if people filled their prescriptions through home delivery, which would help them stay on their schedule.
Citing previous studies, the New England Health Institute, a health policy institute in Cambridge, Mass., said health care spending for a diabetes patient paying little attention to taking his or her medicine cost twice as much as a patient using medication as directed. One 2005 study said up to half of the 187 million Americans who took one or more prescription drugs didn't take them as prescribed.
During National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on April 27, 5,681 pounds of unwanted or expired prescription medications were dropped off at more than 70 New Hampshire locations.
The amount - equivalent to the weight of two Volkswagen Beetles - was 26 percent more than was collected at a similar event last September, according to figures from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
More than 60 people, including Rod Christy of Peterborough, dropped off medications at the Peterborough Police Department.
"I was prescribed medication after a surgery, and I just didn't find it was very effective," he said, adding with a laugh that he hopes his surgeon doesn't read about this.
Pam Workman of Hancock is caring for her elderly parents and had a bag of prescription drugs that had been prescribed to her mother in the course of her mother's physicians attempting to stop a pain in her side.
"She has several doctors," Workman said.
"Some of these things didn't agree with her, so she stopped (taking them)," she said. "I said, 'Mom, what are you doing with all of these?' And she said, 'I'm not taking them.'"
Robin Haubrich of Francestown is allergic to bees and brought in five years' worth of expired EpiPens. She needs the EpiPen on hand, but it expires after a year and she needs to dispose of it.
Kenneth Belcher of Peterborough brought in a box full of prescription drugs.
"This goes back to about 2004," he said.
None of the drugs had been prescribed to him but rather to family members who suffer from long-term conditions. The doctors are constantly switching the medications, he said, so you are left with bottles of drugs no longer prescribed.
It's the same for many dropping off prescriptions.
"A lot of it was a change in medication," said Jane Varnum of Greenfield.

WASHINGTON U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez, pressed Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack about water rights during a committee hearing Tuesday, saying he was frustrated with the federal governments 2011 attempt to circumvent state law.
Two years ago, the U.S. Forest Service issued a directive forbidding ski areas from selling their water rights to anyone other than the next operator of the ski area.
A federal judge struck down that policy last December, saying the agency did not properly seek public input.
After the courtroom loss, the Forest Service moved to institute a public process which would begin this spring for a new water-rights rule for the ski industry.
On Capitol Hill, Tipton wanted to know why even after the Forest Services 2011 directive was struck down the agency continues to go after water in the Western part of the country and in the Centennial State, given the subversive nature that this has to state law in Colorado.
Vilsack joked that he once was advised never to get involved in water issues because the matter is so complicated.
I think the Forest Service learned a lesson in terms of approaching this issue, Vilsack said.
Tipton asked the secretary if the Forest Service would continue to pursue federal pre-emption of water rights.
The focus here is making sure that we use our forests ... in the most appropriate way, Vilsack said. We need to balance that with the interests of those who need the water for economic purposes, he added, citing the ski industry.
The new federal water-rights policy will be different from the 2011 directive, Vilsack said, but the need to preserve and conserve water is the same.
In the Colorado Statehouse, legislators are hoping to pass a bill that would forbid the federal government from forcing people to cede their water rights in order to get a special-use permit.
State law and property rights should be important, Tipton countered, before changing the subject to exporting potatoes from the San Luis Valley.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has been working with the Mexican government to export products there, Vilsack said, including potatoes.

Stores in Cortez were abuzz with shoppers Friday morning. People were filling their carts with goodies but not with the usual commotion that Black Friday-goers may see. In fact, some places experienced a rush of customers for a minimal amount of time before returning to a typical day of retail.
IFA Country Stores opened at 7 a.m. Friday morning to a line of about 25 people. Cars were waiting in the parking lot at 6:45, but the rush only lasted around 45 minutes before tapering off, and a normal day of shopping prevailed.
Big R employees also were surprised to see fewer shoppers waiting at the doors at 6 a.m. As opposed to last year's turnout, they were slightly below what was expected. But the parking lot was packed at 8 a.m. and a steady stream of customers were happy to take part in the sales.
Jennifer Sutherland does not do Black Friday but she desperately needed a new pair of boots.
"I'm going to save $50 on new boots," she said, showing off the pair she was currently wearing. Judging by the holes and the worn leather, she had hit the jackpot. Along with her boots, she found a couple of jackets, a few pairs of jeans and other clothing items that were too good a bargain to pass up.
"This is my last and only stop. I'm just here to get what I need."
Also picking up essentials was Linda McCart. She and her husband came from Dove Creek to do a little shopping but they were not the first ones in the door.
"We slept in," McCart said with a laugh. "This is the first year I got my husband to come out on Black Friday."
The winning factor for David McCart was that he would be saving money. And even though one item always leads to another, they are all things the couple needs and will use. Although Linda is not an annual Black Friday shopper, she knows that when a good deal presents itself, she'd better take it. Her cart had three extra-large bags of bird seed at $6 off the regular price.
"With the shape of this economy, if you can save six bucks a sack it's worth it," she said. "And we'll never stop feeding the birds. As long as they are around our home, we'll will buy seed for them."
The shoppers in Big R may not be Black Friday experts but in this area, people seem to take on a more relaxed temperament. Not like the usual viral videos you see of large crowds and angry customers, Cortez experienced a much more mellow event.
However, a new trend in shopping could be coming our way. Walmart changed its hours for sales on Thanksgiving and Bealls opened for the first time this year on the holiday. Both stores saw a huge difference in customer intake between the Thanksgiving sales and the Black Friday sales.
Surprisingly, customers were more apt to shop Thanksgiving evening than one might expect.
Walmart held door busters at 8 and 10 p.m. Thanksgiving night and the swarm of people created a wall of bodies. An employee said it was impossible for people to move about comfortably but this morning it was relatively calm.
Jennifer Heath, the store manager of Bealls, said she had exactly 57 people waiting at the door Thanksgiving day. All four registers were open and ringing through sales for two hours straight. Heath said customers were very thankful they were open and were pleasant while shopping and waiting to check out, a far cry from what larger cities would experience.
"We had a fabulous turnout (on Thursday). Everything ran smoothly and they were very helpful to us as well," Heath said. "We were so busy at the registers and we couldn't help them shop efficiently but they were able to find what they wanted."
Friday was the complete opposite. Only 14 people were waiting outside of the store. This time around, Heath and her employees were able to help provide customer service more extensively. She was happy to slow down Friday morning to help accommodate some of her older customers, rather than overwhelm them.
It seems more stores may follow suit and open Thanksgiving day, a practice called the "Thanksgiving Creep." Target stores opened at 9 p.m., three hours earlier than previous years. Employees for Target were not happy about the change and petitions have been started to keep the "creep" from ganging up on the holiday.
Cortez happily benefited from the change but if the trend persists, smaller businesses could be forced to take part.

Allergic rhinitis refers to a group of symptoms—such as a runny or itchy nose, watery eyes, and sneezing—that result from inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes. A common, but inaccurate, name for this condition is hay fever. It is estimated that 40-50 million people in the US develop allergic rhinitis during their lifetime. Allergic rhinitis precedes the onset of asthma in over half of cases. Seeing a doctor as early as possible is advised.
Mucous membranes in the nose may become inflamed when certain airborne allergens—such as dust, pollen, mold, or animal dander—are inhaled. For those who are sensitive, these allergens stimulate an excessive immune reaction.
The body makes an immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody specific to that allergen and binds to mast cells that make chemicals, like histamine. This is called "sensitization." The next time your body is exposed to the allergen, the antibody recognizes it, and the histamine is released from the mast cell. The histamine causes dilation of nasal blood vessels and inflammation of the mucous membranes, which result in common allergy symptoms.
There are 2 types of allergic rhinitis:
- Seasonal—Symptoms occur only at certain times of the year, usually spring, summer, and early fall. In most cases, people with seasonal allergic rhinitis are sensitive to pollens from trees, grasses, weeds, or airborne mold spores.
- Perennial—Perennial allergic rhinitis causes symptoms all year-round. People who have this form of allergic rhinitis are generally allergic to house dust mites, cockroaches, animal dander, and/or mold spores. Occasionally, food allergies may cause perennial allergic rhinitis.
In general, allergic rhinitis is a relatively mild condition that may cause discomfort, but is seldom serious. Some complications associated with allergic rhinitis include:
- Ear infections
- Sinusitis
- Recurrent sore throats
- Irritability
- Fatigue
- Cough
- Headache
- Conjunctivitis

Ignoring radical Islam: Dangerous political correctness
President Obama's personal devotion to political correctness might be handicapping the federal government's ability to protect Americans from Islamist terrorists. A comprehensive review of how our intelligence and law enforcement agencies handle the jihadi threat is in order.
It was notable when President Obama went out of his way on Friday to squelch the idea that the terrorists' Muslim faith was in any way related to their acts. He said, condescendingly, "we take care not to rush to judgment - not about the motivations of these individuals; certainly not about entire groups of people."
Four days later, NBC News reported that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev himself "has told investigators that he and his brother were motivated by religion." Maybe the ACLU can sue Tsarnaev for stereotyping Muslims.
In 2010, the Pentagon released an 86-page report on the Fort Hood shooting. Though the perpetrator was a radical Islamist who corresponded directly with top al-Qaida terrorist Anwar al Awlaki, the report labeled the attack "workplace violence."
In December of 2011, the administration released a strategic plan for dealing with domestic terrorism. It made not a single mention of radical Islamism. That was despite the fact that in 2010 the former heads of the 9/11 Commission released a report warning that the administration was not taking the threat of domestic terrorism from radical Islamists seriously.
Famed national security reporter Bill Gertz reported on Tuesday that U.S. officials and private counterterrorism consultants say the FBI's failure to nab Tamerlan Tsarnaev after Russia alerted the United States to his radicalization in 2011 was the direct result of administration directives to remove radical Islam as a terrorism indicator.
"The fact is religion has been expunged from counterterrorism training," Sebastian Gorka, a counterterrorism specialist with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Gertz. "The FBI can't talk about Islam and they can't talk about jihad."
Nor will the President. He goes to great lengths to refrain from making a connection between radical Islam and terrorism. It's as if he thinks his job is to protect radical Muslims from Americans, not the other way around.

Before the walk, encourage people to participate and announce the event to the company with products such as balloons and lip balm imprinted with the well-known pink ribbon. Magnets and bumper stickers also make great small handouts that will remind participants of the event.
Wear it with Pride
Pink apparel and ribbon-imprinted accessories such as bracelets, shirts, scarves and caps are proudly worn by walkers before, during and after fundraising events. It is a good idea to plan on ordering about half the quantity of the rest of the products, since men will likely be involved, but won't be wearing ladies' apparel.
During the Walk
Before the walk, give participants a goody bag full of items they can use along the way: a ribbon lapel pin to wear proudly, an umbrella in case of rain, bottled water or a pedometer. You can also sell imprinted heart-rate monitors before the race to raise even more money.
After the Event
Shout the cause loud and clear with a fan, binoculars, blanket or fun beach ball. A drawstring bag is reusable and easy to carry.

A deputy met with a reporting party at the sheriffs office to take a report of theft. The theft was determined to go back over a period of two years after the victim and his wife hired a male subject as a ranch hand for part time work. After several months of employment and after developing the trust of the man and his wife, the ranch hand recommended several of his family members as housekeepers. At his recommendation, the victim and his wife hired the ranch hands mother, a sister or cousin, another woman whose relationship has not been determined. Multiple other suspects include a male cousin and another sister to the ranch hand. The reporting parties said that they first started to suspect something was wrong when they began having problems with their checking account. They found that someone had been taking single checks from checkbooks, taking them from several books down in a new box of checks, and would remove both the check and the carbon. The checks were taken out of sequence, and all checks were cashed by one of the many suspects. The victims confirmed that the most recent checks were cashed by their ranch hand by viewing surveillance video at their bank. The first check known to be stolen was cashed over a year and a half ago, and the victims are not sure exactly how many checks were stolen and cashed. They have tentatively totalled $1,390 in thefts so far. One check was found to be cashed in Scottsdale, Ariz. All of the suspects had access to the home. The victims at first attempted to work out the issues with the ranch hand, but when he was confronted after they viewed surveillance video of him cashing checks, he denied stealing them, and said his cousin had stolen them. He then became belligerent and uncooperative, and the victims now wish to press charges against all parties. The suspects new location of employment was identified.
A deputy traveling east on Hwy. 160 clocked a sedan traveling at 78 mph in a 65 mph zone. He turned around and got behind the vehicle and activated his emergency lights, but the driver did not respond, so he activated his siren. The driver still did not respond, and the deputy followed her for approximately 1/2 mile before she noticed the deputy and pulled over. As the deputy spoke with the female driver, he could smell the odor of un-burnt marijuana coming from the interior of the vehicle, and asked her about it. The driver denied that there was anything in the car, and then asked if she could speak with her passenger to make sure that she didnt have anything on her. The driver was told that she could wait to speak with the passenger and that the deputy would ask her. As he spoke with the driver, he could see that her pupils were very dilated behind her sunglasses, but she denied smoking anything, despite physical indicators to the contrary. She then said she had smoked it the previous night. The driver failed voluntary roadside maneuvers and was placed under arrest. A search of her car revealed a digital scale with a white powdery substance in a purse on the back seat. The driver admitted that the substance was cocaine. When asked if there were any other narcotics in the car, she said no, but quickly stated that there was actually a little coke in her jacket pocket in the car. Another deputy retrieved a zip-lock baggie with cocaine in it. The driver asked if she could call her mom to come pick up her car. She was placed on Felony Hold for possession of a schedule II drug, DUID, speeding, possession of drug paraphernalia, and was left in the care and custody of jail staff.
Dispatch aired a REDDI report of a pickup truck traveling on a county road off of Hwy. 145 which had run the stop sign, almost causing a collision with motorcyclists on the highway. A deputy responded to the area and observed the pickup traveling towards him straddling the center line, and it pulled back into its lane as it passed the deputy, who turned around to follow it. He watched as it meandered over the center line and then off the edge of the road into the grass. He pulled the truck over and spoke with a female driver, who had several physical indicators of intoxication. She stated that she had only had a martini. She failed voluntary roadside maneuvers and was placed under arrest. She asked the deputy to have her daughter come pick up her truck.
A deputy was dispatched to speak to a woman in reference to a dog attacking her friends dog. The friend stated that her two dogs were outside playing, and she heard a commotion and went outside to see a black dog with a blue collar and a stub tail attacking one of the dogs in her front yard. She knew the dog and believed she knew who its owner was. She picked up a handful of rocks from her driveway to throw at the dog, and it ran away. She went to find her dog and noticed a large cut on the dogs hind end. The deputy took pictures of the dogs wound for evidence. The woman stated that she has tried to talk to the dogs owners about chaining up their dog or fixing their fence so it cant get out because this wasnt the first incident. She also stated that each incident seems to get worse in nature and she was worried that someone would get hurt, and that the dog attempts to attack her almost every day when she tries to get her mail and she has to throw rocks at him to keep him away. The deputy contacted the dogs owner and noted their dog following the description given. He was advised of the incident, and said that he had talked with the woman about previous issues and that he needs to figure out a way to keep the dog in the yard but hasnt done so yet. The mans wife, who is the primary owner of the dog, arrived home and after being told of the incident, told the deputy that the two women have been trying to get them into trouble for their dog for awhile now. She also stated that there is another dog in the neighborhood that looks identical to hers and also has a blue collar. Despite this explaination, she was issued two summons.
A deputy traveling south on Mildred St. observed a mini-van drive the wrong way down Montezuma Ave. He had seen the vehicle before this as it meandered around as if the driver was struggling to negotiate turns. The mini-van pulled into the north end of the parking lot at the swimming pool and came to a stop. The deputy contacted the occupants of the van, and held the door closed as the driver tried to exit and told him to turn off the engine. The male driver uttered a nonsensical answer, and the deputy noticed an open, half-full bottle of whisky on the floorboard behind the passenger seat. The driver was extremely intoxicated, and the deputy also noticed an empty bottle of vodka on the floorboard of the front seat at the female passengers feet. The driver didnt have a license, registration, or proof of insurance; the female told the deputy they were just parking. Her speech was extremely slurred and bordering on incoherent, and she appeared to be drooling while she spoke. The driver was identified as having his license revoked for habitual traffic offender, and his wife had only a Colorado ID card only. The driver was so drunk he almost fell out of the mini-van; his pants were unzipped and covered with dirt. The deputy did not attempt to administer roadside maneuvers due to the level of intoxication. He put the driver in his patrol vehicle, where he promptly fell asleep, and spoke to the woman who gave him an obscene sexual explanation for where they were going. The deputy ascertained that the mini-van belongs to the woman, but she had no insurance or registration for it. She told the deputy she wanted to walk home, and nearly fell out of it and stumbled away. The deputy attempted to administer a breath test to the driver, but he was too intoxicated to blow into the mouthpiece successfully. He was issued a Felony Hold and charged with numerous driving violations.
A deputy was dispatched to a residence in reference to some prescription drugs being stolen. He spoke to the owner who told him that he left his house to go fishing that morning and returned home later that day to find that his prescription bottle of Loritab was missing and also a box with approximately 100 syringes was missing. The reporting party said that he could not get another refill on the prescription until the end of September, and he valued the pills at $90 and the syringes at $30. He said that there did not appear to be anything else missing from the residence. The deputy noted that there were several other prescription bottles that were not taken and another box of syringes was left behind. There were no signs of forced entry at the doors or windows. The owner said he thought someone could have come in through the back door because it would not lock. There were no usable fingerprints, and the neighbors all said they did not see anyone around the mans residence while he was gone.

Eek! Halloween 2009
It could have probably used another skeleton or two but overall, I think the concept worked well. I'm not quite done - it needs a few more finishing touches but we've had monsoon like rains here this week and I'm running out of time.
The idea of the climbing skeleton didn't start with me. I found it here. But obviously we couldn't nail the skeletons into the stone without damaging our house so we used fishing wire at various points to hold them in position. Thankfully the storms this week didn't move them out of place (shocking!). We got the skeletons at Oriental Trading using as many coupons as a I could find, fishing wire from a bait & tackle shop (they looked at me really strangly when I told them I wanted to hang skeletons - it was august!), styrofoam skeleton heads from Michaeals (coupons!), little ravens from the 99 cents store, large raven from my halloween supply box.
So what do you think? Anything (quick and easy) I could add or tweak to make it better?

I've only heard good things from the neighbors. I don't usually sit on my stoop but when I am out there, I always get a few comments on how they like it. Im sure a few of our neighbors think we are crazy but say nothing - those are the same people who don't give out candy like Halloween in the first place so I don't care what they think :)ReplyDelete
Heather - Funny enough I already have a fog machine and it goes on full blast come Halloween :)ReplyDelete
I can see why the kids love this. One of our neighbors does something similar every year and it's the most visited house every Halloween. The skeletons crawling up are the perfect creepy touch.ReplyDelete
I am featuring your Halloween decorating on my blog tomorrow. I hope you'll stop by and take a peek.
You would have a fog machine! It looks absolutely amazing - I wish there was a house like this in my neighborhood growing up - or even now! I'm sure your guests this weekend will love it!ReplyDelete
Off the charts! Your house looks amazing. You give Martha Stewart some serious competition! Have you thought of inviting her to your party? Or at least one of her influential editors? This is glossy cover material all the way!ReplyDelete
And I hope you win the contest for your 2008 decorations. That spider makes me cringe...perfect reaction for Halloween decorating! Though I'm sure it would give me nightmares!
Have a great time this weekend!
It looks amazing! i'm sure it's the coolest house in the entire neighborhood. What kind of camera do you have? Your pictures are always fantastic.ReplyDelete
It looks absolutely amazing!ReplyDelete
This is the house I (I mean my kids) would go to! I love it!!! You really set the standard with the halloween decor!ReplyDelete
OMG! That is the best Halloween design I have seen. It is way cool and very creepy. Awesome!ReplyDelete
Love its creepiness! Just a suggestion, not sure how it looks in the night but it would be cool to have a red light bulb in one of your windows or in your foyer.ReplyDelete
Husband bought red bulbs for our house and it looks creepy in the night when lit.
Or one of those lights that flicker, it would look awesome in your place with the fog and the skeletons.
WAY TO GO!!! Looks great! Hope you win the contest!ReplyDelete
FABULOUS! All I can say is that you have amazing talent!ReplyDelete
L O V E!!!ReplyDelete
LOVE it. Especially the one guy who is hoisting the other guy with spider web.
It looks great! I think the life-like positons that the skeletons are placed in really adds to the creep factor.ReplyDelete
Do you have any lighting on the skeletons at night? I would add a dim spotlight so that they couldn't be seen from down the street, but become visible as you walk towards the door :).
This is Brilliant!! I adore it, and I'm not even really into Halloween decor. It is creepy while being so creative and well done at the same time!!! You absolutely have the best house for Halloween decorating...it should be published! JanellReplyDelete
This is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Seriously amazing...don't know how you outdid yourself...but 'cha did!ReplyDelete
Love the blood writing on the door...Now you just need a do not enter sign from the Department of Health or the CDC tacked on the door!
Bravo, Girl...all this and world galavanting?! Wowza!
Unbelievably fun!!! I want to trick-or-treat at your casa!ReplyDelete
i LOVE. are you kidding?! this is the coolest thing i've seen all day. makes me want to go grab a pillowcase and pretend i'm a 12 year old. great job!ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone for all the great feedback. The red bulb is a great idea...ill have to look for one.ReplyDelete
I'd love a little bit of spooky lighting out front but we don't have any outlets out there so I've never figured out a good way to get it lit without ugly cords everywhere. Last year we used a flood light but it didn't have the effect I wanted at all.
The spiderwebs are no means perfect but the trick to them is to pull really really taught until they are super thin. One bag is enough to cover inside and out of the house.
And yes, we get a ton of kids trick or treating - almost have to take a mortgage out to buy enough candy :)
<3 it! The kids are going to die (not really) when they see it! I bet their parents are gonna have to step-it-up next year! Is that your bloody art work and hand print or is it a decal? Either way it's SCARY!ReplyDelete
Thats my hand handwriting and handprint - I used a very dark red lipstick I had left over from a costume makeup years ago.ReplyDelete
Soo very very cool. I love the skeletons!ReplyDelete
How about a skeleton with a "back-pack?" That would really get those school children.....ReplyDelete
Genius! Attack of the skeletons! Love the bloody handprint!ReplyDelete
It's grotesque in a good way!!! Anyway, I had to share something a friend who decorates for Halloween: a black light will make white things sort of glow in the dark. I'm wondering if it will make your skeletons glow (they are cream colored), anyone know?ReplyDelete
Also, there are strobe lights available that are battery operated. Only bad part is that you have to run out and turn them on/off. Maybe after halloween you can buy some really cheap for next year!!!
I get the heebee jeebies just looking at your door, that is so freaky!!!
This is seriously amazing. FANTASTIC!!! I'm in awe.ReplyDelete
Can I come to your party? Looks amazing!ReplyDelete
Wow, I really can't improve on this - however, if you want eerie lighting, you could always put some hidden lamps with red bulbs inside the windows so the whole house glows red. The bulbs can be taken out and saved until next year, too. Wonderful job!!ReplyDelete
Ooops, I see now that littlealexa beat me to the red light suggestion! Oh well.ReplyDelete
This is incredible! You have an amazing gift! You should do set design!! Happy Halloween!!!ReplyDelete
WOW! That is the coolest thing I've seen.ReplyDelete
Oh dear, I might have possibly just crapped my pants. Not only did your setup this yr creep the bejeezus out of me, it is my fave (so far--who knows what next yr will bring?). The crowning touch is the bloody handprint on the door. PERFECTION!!!!ReplyDelete
Now, do you have a clean pair of pants I can borrow? =]
That ROCKS!!! Dang, the kids must love you and coming to your house!ReplyDelete
Wowzer! That's great!ReplyDelete
So fun! I love that you have a simple theme--skeletons this year, spiders last. So many people decorate for a season or party with too many different elements and it ends up looking like a bunch of junk. One of the homes in my neighborhood has decorated the same way for several years--black spiders of all sizes climbing on the walls and roof. Classic, creepy fun. This year though they ruined it. Three of the spiders are bright crayon colors and have smiley faces!ReplyDelete
Looks great, Stefanie!! I love them trying to scale the walls...ReplyDelete
I LOVE IT..!!!!!! Do you sit outside and hand out candy? Some spooky music would be my suggestion.ReplyDelete
A former neighbor of mine use to pass out "brains in a baggie". They put spinach elbows macaroni in little baggies, with a squirt of red food coloring, while they were on a heating pad to keep the "brains" warm. Only close friends were allowed the "brains" the others got candy.
Wow - this is AMAZING! If I was a grade-schooler I would be terrified (in a good way). Have a wonderful Halloween!ReplyDelete
Looks incredible!!! I have never seen a home done so well! I don't think you need anything more, it's perfect!ReplyDelete
I love the skeletons! Great idea!ReplyDelete
Freaktabulous....love it!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10:00 PM
I wish I would have thought to come in here and tell you this sooner but I'm taking classes at NYSID on the Upper East side and this home across from the school did a really huge Halloween thing. I think there was a mummy hanging from the balcony and lots of cob webs and such. I saw it as it was being put up by a team of folks and it looked pretty fab. Made me think they probably outsourced the task as the production was pretty wild.ReplyDelete
So very cool!ReplyDelete
Wow, that's amazing! Makes me miss Brooklyn so much! I just moved from there to Jersey in September.ReplyDelete
This looks amazing!! You are SO creative and talented :)ReplyDelete
You are amazing, you know that? Absolutely fabulous job. You're unstoppable! :-)ReplyDelete
AMAZING! I love the skeletons and had no idea Oriental Trading had those big 5 foot ones. Next year!ReplyDelete
Read the comments...I used colored bulbs this year (green) and Target definitely had red bulbs, too. I think red lighting would look awesome.
awesome! i'm a fan of your house and your design ideas. love the skeleton body languages. were the exterior trim and molding originally black?ReplyDelete
Your blog is so fun to read! :)ReplyDelete
This comment is a wee bit late, but what you have done is beyond amazing! There's nothing else you needed to do, as it is perfectly spooky. Those are some darn lucky kids in your neighborhood!!ReplyDelete
I found you on Mathew Mead. You do amazing invitations, but it was your Halloween invite that got me. I am working on my invite for this years Halloween party and I love the idea of the survival kit box, I may try that next year. This year I am putting my invites in poison bottles and hand delivering them. I can't wait to finish looking at your posts.ReplyDelete
Ha. That is a good idea. Too bad I didn't think of that.ReplyDelete

NH Motor Speedway founder selling lakeside estate for NH-record $49 millionBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
February 25. 2014 8:58PM
ALTON — Bob Bahre says he loves New Hampshire, a state he called home when he created what became New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. But his family no longer needs the sprawling lakefront property he owns on Lake Winnipesaukee.
It could be yours for a mere $49 million.
Realtors say it's by far the largest single residential listing in the state's history.
Reached at his Florida home Tuesday, Bahre said he loves the Granite State, but he no longer runs the speedway so he's ready to give up the Longview estate he had built 12 years ago. Before the 2008 racing season, the Bahre family sold the track to Speedway Motorsports for $340 million.
"We loved the place, but of course we are biased," Bahre said. "We have a place in Maine, in Naples (Florida), and St. Barth. And we sold the speedway, so we just don't need it anymore."
If the price is too high for buyers, "we'll keep the place," he said.
The state has had residential listings above $5 million, but "has never had a listing of this magnitude," said Kristin Claire, listing agent and managing broker of LandVest at the brokerage firm's New Hampshire office.
"There is a $10 million property out there now that hasn't been (sold) yet, and before that I think the highest we had in the state was an $8 million property," said Susan Bradley, a prominent Lakes Region Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Laconia.
"It's a substantial property for a substantial price," she said.
Here's what you get for $49 million:
The property, located on 16.56 acres at the tip of Clay Point on Lake Winnipesaukee, features two main homes with more than 60,000 square feet of living space, 1,594 feet of shoreline, an "infinity" pool, grotto, tennis court, ballroom, two boat houses, a post-and-beam barn residence, a tea house, and three one-bedroom apartments.
"The compound," as Claire describes it, was designed to be a private retreat, and features manicured lawns, lush landscaping, meandering lakefront trails and outdoor living areas ideal for entertaining.
The property features a 20-seat theater, a spa and a fitness room, as well as a 7,655-square-foot reproduction post-and-beam entertainment barn with a tennis court, caterer's kitchen and two-bedroom apartment inside.
Outside, there is a lakeside studio located at the base of a stone amphitheater built into the hillside.
There is a cut-granite fireplace on one wall and French doors on the other three walls opening to stone patio on the lake.
"This property sets a new standard for lakefront living," said Claire, listing agent and managing broker of LandVest's New Hampshire office. "In my 16 years of setting top sales in New Hampshire, I've never seen such a combination of location, site quality and amenities."
The property is also being offered as two separate parcels, at 142 Hopewell Road for $24 million and at 144 Hopewell Road for $25 million.
According to town tax records, the assessment on 142 Hopewell is $7.5 million, while 144 Hopewell is assessed at $11.46 million. Together, those assessments would yield a total property tax bill of about $254,000 a year.

Legendary football matchup
Historic events at Gill Stadium included one very snowy Turkey DaySpecial to the Union Leader
August 16. 2013 11:15PM
This is the eighth in a series of articles from the Gill Stadium Centennial Committee leading up to the ballpark's 100-year anniversary celebration on Sept. 8.
THE SPECTATORS at the 1971 Thanksgiving Day football game at Gill Stadium should not have been surprised.
The Union Leader's Wednesday edition forecast a 40 percent probability of snow for Wednesday night. For Thursday, it was "snow likely, with highs 30 to 35." Then on Thursday morning, the front page said "The Weather: Snow, Cold".
Anyone who took the time that morning to turn to Page 2 would have read: "A heavy snow watch is in effect for today, with an expected accumulation of six inches by afternoon. Highs will be in the low to mid 30s."
And then a Sports page headline: "Weather Factor in Grid Battles." C.J. McCarthy began his article with, "Depending on which 'dependable' weatherman you listen to, the forecast for five high school football games varies from a 'light dusting snow' to 'a heavy downfall of from five to eight inches'."
It is apparent that the weather was not important for this annual football classic between the season's two best teams in the city.
And when the two best teams in the city are also the two best teams in the state, the fans will show up.
Manchester Memorial and Trinity took the field to determine the Division I state champion. And Gill Stadium was ready to welcome them.
Then-Trinity coach Dick Powers said advance ticket sales hit 5,000 on Wednesday, with the sales outlet planning to continue selling until 8 p.m. and to re-open at 8 a.m. on Thursday. In addition, the Parks and Recreation crews had been working hard to prepare the turf for the teams.
Would Trinity, as the home team, be expected to wear white jerseys?
In a 1995 Union Leader article, sports writer John Habib said: "I'm still convinced that Memorial had the edge that day wearing their old navy blue jerseys, which allowed (Memorial quarterback Tom) Kathan to spot his receivers."
The cold, windy, snowy game started with more than 7,000 fans in attendance.
Memorial elected to kick. Trinity quarterback Mike Gleason was intercepted on the first play, and Memorial had the ball at the Pioneers' 46, but a stalled drive prompted Kathan to punt to the 2-yard line.
Memorial's Tom Quinn then recovered a Trinity fumble on the 12. After a scoring play was called offside, Kathan sent three receivers down the left side and hit Larry Bournival on the right side of the end zone for a 6-0 lead. Dave Croasdale's extra point attempt was blocked.
The very next play was an 83-yard kickoff return by Trinity's Jim Barden, tying the score. Gary Chartrand's kick failed to cross the uprights.
Here's what followed: an onside kick, a Memorial drive that ended in a fumble recovered by Trinity's Chuck Murray, a Trinity punt, a Memorial drive that ended in a Dave Cote interception, a Trinity punt, and finally a Kathan pass to Gene Brown for a TD. Memorial's two-point pass attempt failed and at halftime, it was 12-6.
Four snow plows, 40 minutes, and 4 inches of snow cleared from the turf later, the second half began, albeit with half the spectators.
Weather conditions had worsened and the teams exchanged interceptions, punts, stalled drives and fumbles.
At one point, a possible first down loomed but the chains could not be used because yard lines were not visible.
On the day, Trinity achieved only one first down. And Memorial held on to win by that 12-6 score.

When the weather is muggy and you face regular drenchings, the only thing to wear are items that keep you cool and don't get ruined in the rain. A checked shirt in gorgeous Madras colours keeps the flag flying for summer with long sleeves for those cooler moments. Pair with rugby shorts – yes really! This is a genuine trend I've spotted on the streets of East London and you need only be worn with caution if you live anywhere near the hooray-Henry zones of SW London. The shape is actually classic and when not worn with sportswear can look surprisingly stylish.
Poll: ASOS tasselled loafer
Tasselled loafers have been on our radar for yonks now, and this summer saw deck shoes really break into mainstream menswear but are we ready for a hybrid?
Acting like a big kid: yellow raincoats
Its raining its pouring, and if you'd forgotten about the need to cover up you may be considering a new rainwear purchase. With outdoor gear like mountaineering boots already looking hot for autumn, embrace your inner fisherman now and head into the deluge in a traditional yellow rain mac. Topman have a lightweight zip-up version availalable, perfect for staying visible in a wet festival. For something longer lasting that will see you through to autumn's downfalls there's this beauty from ASOS or the most authentic of the lot (courtesy of Valet) is this shiny, yellow raincoat by L.L Bean. Avoid brightly coloured wellingtons to fend off the worst Paddington Bear comments.
Head to toe: cool summer pick for hot nights
With sales in full swing and the heat here to stay, now is the time to put together an outfit for those balmy evenings when you want to turn heads during your evening 'paseo'. A mix of high street and simple staples can pull together current menswear trends without trying too hard. First up, this very fun sailor hat from Topman, with authentic braiding detail. With such quirky headgear best to keep the rest simple, hence the simple tank (buy a size up) and black cuffed shorts. The mix of brown shoes with black clothing is very 2009 and these battered-looking Oxfords would look great matched with cotton socks in a soft pastel shade, like a cream or lemon.
Legs get ready to rumble! Cool cycling trousers for a hot summer
Cycling through Bloomsbury last night, I was struck by the sheer number of other cyclists on the roads. Seriously, it's like the bicycle M1 there in rush hour. When budgets tighten and the weather brightens (sorry), cyclists come out to play, so it looks like summer is definitely set to be based around 2 wheels. And for that, you need the right outfit.
Gallery: Summer Shorts
Summer is most definitely here, at least for today and if you're sweltering under the heat of some office trousers we feel your pain. Actually we've got our legs out, sorry.
Take a look at our guide to this summer's shorts, we've trawled the internet for the best in short trousers to keep your legs cool and your outfit stylish without a toggle, cargo pocket or zip in sight. There's something for everyone from denim to tailored and also floral pair you'll love, honest!
White jeans: only in summer
Summer is definitely fashion's silliest season, when you can throw (some) caution to the wind and don styles you wouldn't normally be seen dead in. With this in mind, how about some white jeans? Instantly reminiscent of Club Tropicana-era Wham, act up the Euro playboy with a strong-coloured V-neck T-shirt from American Apparel (lavender, pink, mint) and a floral print. These jeans from Acne break the pristine mold by adding horizontal rips at the thigh, whilst with these hibiscus-print espadrilles who needs a Hawaiian shirt? With a liberal splash of Kouros you will be ready to tear up the dancefloors of Europe .. just don't forget to pack the Vanish stick.
There's an urban myth that in London that you are never 8 feet away from a rat, it's clearly bullshit but you try to get 8 feet away from a pair of Wayfarers this summer- you won't. The number of companies ripping off the Ray Ban original is staggering with prices and quality ranging from £12 for a cheap pair from Topman up to £115 for a pair of Ray Ban's from ASOS.
Bleached out: summer colours take a beating
However hesitant the sun may be about sharing its rays with the good folk of Britain, with a little imagination you can step right into summer by wearing the latest sun-bleached, faded colours and prints. Imagine the pink suggested by the red heart on an IheartNY white T-shirt seen inside-out and you have the shade. Pink, ironically, has a recent association with hooligan chav-dom in the UK, but faded back to barely-there, fleshy pinkness it loses it's Casual associations and becomes something more nostalgic.
Boater! The straw hat of choice for summer
As fashion continues to trawl the Americana back catalogue, the boater pops up as a summer hat option. You'll need bags of attitude to carry it off as well as this uber-Lower East Side hipster (its photographer Dash Snow) but hell, you can try.
Woven shoes for summer from high street to designer
We recently had a reader request about woven shoes, the reader in question wanted a pair of semi-formal shoes for summer, with a weave. Seb Law already mentioned that tatty plimsolls are not a good look for the warmer months, and woven shoes are a far more grown-up alternative.
Sexy Grandad: the placket goes deep
Looking for something a tad smarter than a regular T-shirt to wear into the office as the weather heats up? The deep-placket top seems to be filling the spot previously filled by the polo shirt in recent years, as a smarter alternative to the T-shirt.
Seersucker wins out as fabric for Spring/Summer
Seersucker is big with the Brandish team and Matthew Willamson's quite lovely seersucker striped suit, as Isabelle highlighted last week, is likely to make awareness of this fabric an all-time high. But what makes it such an ideal summer fabric? Wikipedia (as ever) explains all: the weaving process 'causes some threads to bunch together, this wrinkled appearance causes the fabric to be mostly held away from the skin', keeping you cool and meaning no ironing is necessary. Result!
Carhartt canvas shopper bag from Asos
Shopper bags make a nice alternative to the rucksack, and Carhartt canvas bag from Asos (£48) combines utilitarian simplicity with interesting details. A glut of pockets is a terrible thing on trousers but on a bag it's pretty useful, and the black straps and zip neatly punctuate the colour.
ASOS tiger print tshirt
Is this t-shirt going to convince everybody? I'm not certain, but priced at just £6 in the Asos sale I'm sure some people could be persuaded.
Pale and interesting: the Nudie denim jacket
I've been searching for the 'perfect' denim jacket for a while now, and this one by Nudie at ASOS comes pretty close. Pale, and 'vintage looking' It's also short on the waist (essential), fitted, and (crucially) has no side pockets, this ensures that it won't go baggy over time at the sides, as you won't be tempted to shove your hands in your pockets.
Dress me up before you go-go
Off to a sunny climes for an Easter break? Here's a head to toe look to get the locals talking and keep you cool. The seersucker blazer from Topman makes a change from the blue or grey fine stripe associated with this fabric. The pink of the blazer sets off nicely the deeper red of this colour-banded vest by Jil Sander. I love these wide-legged shorts (also by Jil Sander), which will definitely air you to the best advantage if you're heading somewhere steamy but equally look classic enough to wear in town as well as at the beach. Finally, some classic espadrilles grounding the look with a touch of Mediterranean tradition in black .
My summer wardrobe item of choice: the fitted Gingham shirt
In choosing just one piece, my first thought is will we actually get a summer this year? But in terms of the item I'm likely to get most wear out of it's quite a simple deduction: a gingham shirt by Ralph Lauren Rugby that I recently had refitted by my tailor.
5 of the best: single-colour Hi-Tops
Whilst Martin Margiela's remain the dream version, single-colour hi-top trainers are looking like a hot item for summer and are available at all prices. Ideal with cut-off denim shorts, slim, cropped pants, or under your boiler suit! Here are 5 of the best.
Shorts: options for SS09
If you're off on your first break of the year somewhere warm shortly you may be considering short trouser options.

B0112 Engine Trouble Code
Meaning of B0112 engine trouble code is a kind of body trouble code and theoretically you can drive for a few weeks or even months with a broken MAF sensor. You will notice a decrease in gas mileage and over time the car will eventually start stalling a lot. At a shop, the replacement cost is between $240-$400 depending on the car, but that's usually the cost of parts because the labor is relatively simple.
B0112 Fault Symptoms :
If one of these reasons for B0112 code is occuring now you should check B0112 repair processes.
Now don't ask yourself; What should you do with B0112 code ?
The solution is here :
B0112 Possible Solution:
Gasoline engines use spark plugs to cause an explosion of fuel within the cylinder. In a properly timed engine, this explosion occurs at the proper moment to send the piston to the bottom of the cylinder and provide power to the drive shaft. If the plug wires are out of sequence, the explosion occurs at the wrong time. The improper timing of the explosion sometimes pushes the cylinder the wrong direction or interferes with the turning of the crank. As a result, the engine stutters or backfires, if it runs at all.
B0112 Code Meaning :
|OBD-II Diagnostic Body (B) Trouble Code For Engine
|Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Low
|Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too High
|Engine Shutoff Solenoid Malfunction
|Glow Plug/Heater Circuit 'A' Malfunction
The poor running symptoms are consistent with a MAP sensor malfunction. In addition, in some cases, a bad MAP sensor will not throw a code. Again, the ELD code likely represents a separate wiring issue.
B0112 OBD-II Diagnostic Body (B) Trouble Code DescriptionB0112 engine trouble code is about Glow Plug/Heater Circuit 'A' Malfunction.
Main reason For B0112 CodeThe reason of B0112 OBD-II Engine Trouble Code is Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too High.
B0112 code on vehicles with electronically controlled automatic transmissions, the 3-4 shift solenoid is responsible for actuating the hydraulic circuits to activate clutches or bands that change gears inside the automatic transmission.
