PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Police have recovered hundreds of pieces of jewelry and other items that are not matching up with their records of items reported stolen in a recent rash of break-ins. Anyone who has had their home broken into prior to March 22 is being asked to identify their possessions at an open house on Saturday, June 8, from 10 to 2 at the Police Department on Allen Street. Police say the items either haven't been reported stolen or were stolen from homes outside of city. The investigation is being done by state, Cheshire, Lanesborough and Pittsfield police. Some of the recovered property has already be linked to break-ins in those communities and in Richmond. Police have arrested Christopher Maschino Jr., 21, and Anne Haughey, 21, both of Pittsfield, in connection with the break-ins. Even if the owners of the seized property can identify it, they cannot take possession of their items immediately because they are being held as evidence until released by the district attorney's office. Attendees are required to bring a valid identification to the open house and are asked to bring any ownership documents.
Update: Write-thru at 6:19 p.m. with quotes and new information.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The well-known Lampiasi's Bakery was engulfed in smoke and flames on Friday afternoon as firefighters battled to save what was left of the building. The bakery at 53 Kent Ave. was open for business just before 2 p.m. when the fire was reported. Five workers, including two sons of owner Shawn Lampiasi, fled the building and were all accounted for. Heavy smoke could be seen over North Street from the upper floor of the two-story building, and toward the back, where the bakery's century-old wood-fired ovens are located.
Fire officials do not have a cause but believe the blaze started in a void above the ovens between the first and second floor.
"Initially we did an interior attack, there was fire above the ovens," said Deputy Fire Chief Michael Polidoro. "We were operating the first alarm assignment, they were making no headway into the attack. "We called the second alarm, which brings firefighters on duty to the scene and got mutual aid to cover the city with Dalton, Lanesborough and Lenox." An hour into it, the airhorns were sounded and firefighters abruptly pulled from the building as the flames burst through the second-floor windows. "There were guys who were in the building who unfortunately did not hear the evacuation order from me and one of our universal codes, throughout most fire departments, is to use the airhorns — three short blasts — in order to evacuate the buiding." The top floor reportedly had office equipment and cleaning supplies but it was not clear they were stored there. The cause of the blaze has not yet been determined.
The building dates to 1900 and suffered from another fire in the late 1980s. The property is assessed at $107,600. The flames were beginning to die down later in the afternoon as firefighters mounted an exterior attack. Extra oxygen supplies were brought in. Kent Avenue was closed and Seymour Street between Madison and Kent. County Ambulance, fire and building inspectors, and Berkshire Gas were at the scene, and many bystanders.
"A defensive attack as it is right now, is trying to maintian the fire at one point," said Polidoro as the crews continued to work at about 4:30. "They seem to be making some headway at this point." The deputy chief said no one was injured although a couple firefighters experienced heat stress from the initial attack. "They all have recovered." "The number of renovations in this building hampered our operations," he said. "Because of the different layers we had to get to ... the fire got a good hold." The building, at the corner of Kent and Seymour, is separated from nearby buildings by parking lots and streets. Lampiasi has operated the business for 31 years. It serves area restaurants and the public schools with breads and rolls. The building is insured. The bakery had been previously owned by the late Walter F. Komuniecki Sr., who operated it for some 50 years before he died in 1969.
Firefighters knocked down a blaze at a home on Columbus Avenue.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Firefighters responded to a two-alarm fire Tuesday afternoon at 237 Columbus Ave. The fire in the two-story home was reported at 1:18 p.m. The occupant and two cats and two small dogs escaped the building. Heavy black smoke was pouring from the upper floors of the home; flames could be seen shooting from back of the building.
"As they pulled out of headquarters, they had a large column of fire and smoke coming right up in front of them," said Fire Chief Robert Czerwinski.
He said the first deputy on the scene requested a second alarm; the 19 firefighters on duty responded and off-duty ones were called in to cover the station.
The building incurred heavy damage and is likely to be condemned. The fire started on the east side and quickly spread into the attic.
"The siding on this building is an old asphalt-shingle siding that we commonly refer to as 'gasoline siding' and it really propogates a fire very quickly," said Czerwinski. "It was that siding that created a lot of fire and a lot of smoke."
The building, which dates to 1850, is a single-family home that at some point had been renovated into three apartments, according to city records, but was restored to a single-family again.
The fire chief recalled there had been some spot fires in the building eight or 10 years ago and it was a vacant single-family at that time. "I didn't realize somebody was in here trying to rehabilitate it," he said.
Czerwinski expected crews to be on the scene the rest of the afternoon as the cause of the blaze is investigated. The American Red Cross also provided one adult who was displaced by the fire with shelter, food, clothing and a comfort kit and provided food and drinks to the first responders. The Red Cross will follow up with the affected individual in the coming days.
"We have crews right now that are working in the attic trying to make sure that's out," he said. "You can see the light smoke, that's probably a deep-seated fire in there it will take a little while to get through there."
The property is owned by Columbus Avenue Realty Trust, according to documents on file with the Middle Berkshire Registrar of Deeds.
Columbus Avenue was closed to traffic between Robbins Avenue and Francis Avenue as firefighters deployed equipment.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — William Enser Jr., the president of Berkshire Enviro-Labs, was back in Superior Court on Tuesday facing new charges. Enser previously pleaded not guilty to 15 counts of knowingly falsifying reports submitted to the state Department of Environmental Protection and 15 counts of willfully making false reports to MassDEP. He allegedly backdated drinking-water sample analysis to cover up misconduct and feign compliance with environmental laws. He now faces an additional 14 counts of willfully making false reports to the MassDEP and another 14 counts of knowingly falsifying submitted reports, all of which he pleaded not guilty to in Berkshire Superior Court on Monday. The additional charges brings the total counts up to 58. According to Attorney General Martha Coakley, Enser, 63, of Lee, continued to work at the lab through February 2013 and failed to submit required sampling that showed bacterial contamination in drinking water samples. Enser allegedly hid samples that revealed contamination and instead took multiple samples and sent only passing results to the state. Authorities say that in one instance in October 2012, Enser directed an employee to report a drinking water sample which had come from the tap in the Enviro-Labs' office instead of the public water source.
The lab's certification for testing samples has been revoked by the state. "These additional charges allege that this defendant failed to submit water sample analysis that showed bacterial contamination to the MassDEP," Coakley said in a press release issued on Tuesday. "He is now prohibited from being involved in the operation of the company and is no longer able to tamper with water testing reports and potentially put people at risk." After the first arraignment, Enser was prohibited by the court to act as the drinking water system operator, take drinking water samples, conducting water testing or reporting water data. But, he remained active with the company and Judge Daniel Ford ordered receivership of Enviro-Labs. Enser is prohibited from being involved in the company in any way. "The Environmental Strike Force's continued investigation into the activities of Mr. Enser, who has already been indicted for falsifying drinking water reports, has now revealed evidence of additional fraud," said Commissioner Kenneth Kimmell of MassDEP. "MassDEP is committed to upholding the integrity and the safety of drinking water programs across the Commonwealth." The investigation began in September 2012. Enser is due back in court in June.
Pittsfield Co-op's Dalton Avenue branch was closed Monday afternoon after it was robbed. Above, the suspect in the robbery captured by cameras leaving the scene.
UPDATE: Tuesday, April 2, 2013: Police have released photos of the suspect.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pittsfield Police Detective Bureau at 413-448-9705.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Police are searching for a suspect in the robbery of Pittsfield Cooperative Bank's 110 Dalton Ave. branch. According to Pittsfield Police, the robbery occurred at about 1 p.m. when a man passed a note to a teller. Police say no weapon was shown but they have not revealed the contents of the note.
An undisclosed amount of cash was taken and the suspect left on foot on Dartmouth Street.
Police Chief Michael Wynn said no one was injured in the incident.
"In a very quick period of time, patrol responded, had good information, description information," he told the Police Advisory Board on Monday evening. "K-9 tracked to an adjoinng street where the suspect, they believe, got into a car." The suspect is described as a white man, in his late 30s to mid-40s, approximately 5-feet-8 and weighing between 200 and 210 pounds.

Record temperatures and western wildfires mark the start of summer.
The 17 hours of sunlight that will shine on this first day of summer make it the longest of they year, and for many it'll also be the hottest.
In Chicago, where it'll be the third straight day of temperatures well into the 90s, the timing for repairs at municipal pools could not be worse.
In neighboring Iowa, Barry Andrew's 1,500 acres of corn are threatened not only by heat, but by drought that started long before this first day of summer.
"We've had some hot, dry years but nothing quite like this," he says.
The sun will beat down again on the Northeast today, too, where highs of 100 are possible.
Meanwhile firefighters out west will again do battle with enormous wildfires.
A 92 square-mile blaze in northern Colorado might claim more homes today after leveling around 190 of them already.

The first time I bought a pregnancy test I was 17. I'd gotten my period but was so new at the whole sex thing, not to mention paranoid, that I wanted to be sure. We hadn't used condoms, but instead a small, see-through film that hardly seemed like it was going to do its job. I used it anyway because I was 17, and he was hot, not to mention 31, so I figured he knew what he was talking about. I wasn't pregnant, but taking that test set the tone for every other pregnancy test I've taken, including one last weekend.
The biggest difference for me between taking a pregnancy test at 17 and 36 wasn't so much the technology as the fact that I'm in a vastly different place than I was then. I know more about sex, relationships and myself, and while at 17, I was pretty sure I would get an abortion if a test were positive, now I'm almost certain I wouldn't. I was scared, but not as scared as I'd been at 17. Another difference is that at the moment, I don't have health insurance—bad, I know, and after this scare I'm joining the Freelancer's Union and getting health insurance ASAP. Keep reading »
I was commenting on how packaged pregnancy tests resemble fruit roll ups when my mother told me scientists once injected bunnies with a woman's urine to determine whether or not she was pregnant.
"A rabbit?" I was a little stunned by the idea of poor, floppy-eared, innocent rabbits getting shot up with pee. "Oh yeah!" My mother said nodding. "People used to say, well, the rabbit died. And everyone would know she was pregnant."
An episode of "M*A*S*H" even made reference to the practice when Hot Lips thought she might be pregnant and the only available test was via Radar's unsuspecting pet rabbit Fluffy.
This method seemed so bizarre to me, that I was compelled to learn more about the history of pregnancy tests. Click on to see what kind of crazy stuff I discovered.
I don't know what else is going on in Pub 500 in Mankato, Minnesota, but apparently it's enough to warrant the installation of the "first ever" pregnancy test vending machine in the ladies' room. I'm kidding, actually: it was not Pub 500 that installed the pee sticks for their lady patrons — they came courtesy of Healthy Brains For Children, which seeks to reduce fetal alcohol syndrome in kids. Women can buy pregnancy tests for $3 in dispensers similar to the ones that sell tampons and pads. The group hopes that more women will learn if they are pregnant before getting their bun in the oven totally sauced. Eventually the group hopes to install the vending machines in malls, gas stations and gyms as well. The ladies room location seems weird to me and possibly has the potential of causing more problems than it solves. Like, I can just see drunk couples at the bar getting into arguments over "Oh my God, are you pregnant? Why did you just buy a pregnancy test in the bathroom?" kind of stuff. And I'm especially confused about the Minnesota location. Shouldn't this pilot program have been installed in Seaside Heights? [CityPages]
Buying a pregnancy test can be awkward anywhere you live, but especially if you live in a community where everybody knows everybody. No wonder some women are happy to receive a free pregnancy test online, mailed to their house in a discreet package. But as one user of Gurl.com's message boards recently found out, the pee-stick from OneFreePregnancyTest.com came at a price: judgment! Yes, her free pregnancy test came in the mail when anti-abortion literature that began:
"Hi mom, Will you let me breathe?
Oh, brother. Keep reading »

Wanderlust: A Love Affair with Five ContinentsSpanning 15 years of travel, beginning when she is a sophomore in college, Wanderlust documents Elisabeth Eaves's insatiable hunger for the rush of the unfamiliar and the experience of encountering new people and cultures. Young and independent, she crisscrosses five continents and chases the exotic, both in culture and in romance. In the jungles of Papua New Guinea, she loses herself—literally—to an Australian tour guide; in Cairo, she reconnects with her high school sweetheart, only to discover the beginning of a pattern that will characterize her life over the long-term: while long-distance relationships work well for her, traditional relationships do not. Wanderlust, however, is more than a chronological conquest of men and countries: at its core, it's a journey of self-discovery. In the course of her travels, Eaves finds herself and the sense of home she's been lacking since childhood—and she sheds light on a growing culture of young women who have the freedom and inclination to define their own, increasingly global, lifestyles, unfettered by traditional roles and conventions of past generations of women. |

If you enjoy hunting in dark dungeons and killing creatures then Torchlight II by Runic games is the right game for you.
The game world offers countless dungeons to explore and quests to complete. As far as items are concerned, there are plenty of rare items to loot during your adventure.
The world is split up into many zones, each with their own levels. All areas are clearly marked with level requirements, so you always know whether your level is too low (or high) for that certain area. Grouping with other players can be challenging and fun at the same time. When grouping, it's always important to make sure your party is around the same level. This doesn't bother some players; they will sometimes lend a hand in leveling your character. However, grouping with higher levels can make the game more difficult, especially if you're hunting in high level zones.
Every character receives a cute, furry companion that acts as DPS in combat and storage when your inventory is full. These pets can be very useful during many situations. They can also return to town and sell any items you may not need. This process usually takes anywhere between a few seconds to a minute to complete. Your pet can purchase basic items from the store when you send it back to town.
Your pet's stats can receive a healthy boost by feeding it food (fish) that can be acquired from fishing in special ponds, lakes and rivers located throughout the game world.
Based on my time with Torchlight II, I can say with confidence that its combat mechanics are every bit as good as the first game. Combat is action-packed; it constantly keeps you on your toes regardless of the situation. Even a remote area could easily become a war zone in seconds.
The combat interface assigns three skills at any given time for combat. The left and right mouse buttons are assigned to melee attacks and casting spells. You can have an extra skill slot by right-clicking on a skill. You can hot-swap skills for different ones at any given time. It would be more convenient if there was a combat bar in the GUI (Graphic User Interface) that would allow you to have all your skills mapped out by either hotkeys or by clicking on them. This would help streamline the combat experience. I'm the type of gamer who likes to have easy access to everything without having to swap between skills. The hot-swapping method works, but it would be great if Runic Games considered this feature for a future patch/update.
There are four character classes to choose from. The featured classes are: The Engineer, Outlander, Berserker and the Embermage. Each class has three talent trees that can be customized. Just as you would find in any standard MMORPG, the character builds you make define his/her traits for the rest of the game. It also differentiates your toon from others. There's a vast array of colors, hair styles, and faces available to customize your toon. And as one might expect, you can choose to be either male or female.
Torchlight II has its own style that sets it apart from other games. The attention to detail is simply amazing, especially when it comes to in-game items. The art style used for all items – including a simple hood and a pair of boots – is unique and refreshing. Fashion divas (and I know you're out there) can literally 'dress' to kill. Basically, anything is possible in the world of Torchlight.
While still in the testing phase, Torchlight II's visuals present a crisp, whimsical fantasy world that immerse the player. The cartoon-like graphics are very attractive with bright colors that appeal to the eyes. Even though the graphics are set from an isometric view, you can zoom in to an almost perfect 3rd person perspective.
The music is nothing short of incredible. Calm musical scores set the mood as you explore the vast world of Torchlight II. The music changes based on your location, especially during combat. It becomes more upbeat to fit the situation. Torchlight II's music is charged with passion, encompassing you in a world that is simply breathtaking.
Based on my time with Torchlight II, I can say with confidence that it's poised to take on the competition — Diablo 3 by Blizzard. Come this summer, gamers everywhere will have another reason to venture into the dark and slay the undead.
Torchlight II can be pre-purchased for $19.99 on Steam. There is also a pre-purchase Torchlight II 4-pack that comes with the original Torchlight and extra copies for gifting to friends and family for $59.99.

Great ideas in studio design
Since the Instreamer/Exstreamer pair will each handle two channels of audio, we have one at each of the three sites I mentioned above. Gone are issues with multi-path, fading, and impulse noise. Our EAS sources are consistently available and clean thanks to this modern solution to an old problem.
Arrested lightning
Being an east coast transplant I can't say I've had that much experience with lightning damage. Back in the Bay Area, we would average two thunderstorms per year (one near the vernal equinox and one near the autumnal equinox usually). I used to have one transmitter site on Mt. Loma Prieta (made famous by the 1989 earthquake) that made use of a T1 STL and twice over my tenure the network interface card got blown up when there were lightning strikes in the immediate area. Even though telco had all the wires buried, there was a big enough EMP induced in them to literally burn up resistors in the front end of the NI cards. I would have to call that a minor inconvenience compared to some of the stories I've heard though.
How can you keep large currents from being induced in wires that are in the vicinity of lightning strikes? The common approaches seem to be shielding — which may not be very effective when big currents get induced in the shield itself — and the use of multiple conductors and/or strap to lower the inductance of the path. Both methods, while helping, are a long way from being 100 percent effective.
What if you could avoid using copper wires to connect multiple points together? Wouldn't that be the best way to outsmart even the most vicious lightning strikes?
The Cumulus Broadcasting stations in Youngstown, OH, are WHOT, WQXK, WYFM, WSOM-AM, WBBW-AM, and WWIZ. This cluster includes two studio buildings and two tall towers (one about 750') all located within 800' of one another. As one would expect, all four sites are connected together, previously by copper wires in conduits buried about 4' underground. Interconnections were made via isolation transformers. However, even with those precautionary measures in place, the stations were spending thousands of dollars per year on repairs directly attributable to lighting strikes in the vicinity of the two towers. As computer networking became more and more commonplace, it became clear to the Youngstown engineers that the interconnection of the four sites via fiber, making use of the old conduits, was the way to go to solve the lightning damage issues.

This is the glove version of c a l l i s t o
- The main pattern is a twisted 2 x 1-rib, which nicely shows off the slight sheen of the yarn I used and was inspired by, The Yarn Yard's Clan.
- You could use any fingering-weight yarn and adjust needle sizes accordingly.
- The colour work is done in slip-stitch, so you only work one colour at a time.
- I love the striped finger. Love.
- I also am grateful that probablyjane shared her technique for avoiding ladders: "make sure that the dpn you are knitting from is in front of the preceding one and that the second rather than the first stitch is pulled tight" -- presto!
- CatsEye has suggested an improved symmetrical increase for the thumb gusset: for the left-hand increase, lift loop of second stitch down of the stitch just knit, and place on LN, knit/purl into this loop
(also available as mitt and mitten)
2 for 3: All three versions are now available as callisto mix.

Walmart Bass Fishing League - Piedmont
Gaston (May 22, 2004)
Butts wins Piedmont Division event on Lake Gaston
SOUTH HILL, Va. — Flash Butts of Roanoke Rapids, N.C., earned $4,898 Saturday as winner of the third regular-season Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Piedmont Division event, held on Lake Gaston near South Hill. He caught five bass weighing 14 pounds to claim the win and 200 points in the Boater Division.
Butts is currently ranked No. 1 in Piedmont Division points standings thanks to a second-place finish, an 11th-place finish and now a win during the 2004 season. He earned $1,000 as the highest-finishing participant in the Ranger Cup incentive program, and he also earned $1,000 from Garmin for using only Garmin electronics during the event.
Tied for second were Kenneth Strickland of Greensboro, N.C., and Robert Conway of Fountain, N.C. Both anglers caught five-bass limits that weighed 13 pounds, 4 ounces to earn $2,057 each. In fourth was Greg Stallings of Dry Fork with five bass weighing 13 pounds, 3 ounces that earned him $1,273, and in fifth was Jerry Cullom of Roanoke Rapids, N.C., with five bass weighing 12 pounds, 4 ounces worth $1,078.
Jerry Elder of Lynchburg earned $965 as the Boater Division big-bass award winner thanks to a 5-pound, 2-ounce bass.
Tim Gay of Wendell, N.C., claimed $2,423 as winner of the Co-angler Division with a five-bass catch weighing 9 pounds, 14 ounces.
Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Christopher Fabrizio of Kernersville, N.C. (five bass, 9 pounds, 11 ounces, $1,212); George Smiley of Roanoke Rapids, N.C. (four bass, 8 pounds, 15 ounces, $824); Jeff Smith of Reidsville, N.C. (four bass, 8 pounds, 14 ounces, $630); and Wesley Whitehead of Nashville, N.C. (three bass, 8 pounds, 7 ounces, $533).
Dan Glosson of Rougemont, N.C., claimed co-angler big-bass honors and $478 with a 4-pound, 3-ounce bass.
The Piedmont Division's next stop will be June 12 on Kerr Lake in Henderson, N.C., and the regular season will come to a close Sept. 18-29 with a two-day Super Tournament that will also be held on Kerr Lake in Henderson, N.C.
Following the regular season, the top 30 boaters and 30 co-anglers based on year-end points standings will advance to the Lake Seminole regional near Bainbridge, Ga., Oct. 5-9, where they will compete against anglers from the Bama, Mississippi and Gator divisions for one of six slots in the 2005 All-American. With a $100,000 cash prize going to the winning boater and $50,000 to the winning co-angler, the All-American is one of the most prestigious and lucrative events in competitive bass fishing.
Every angler who receives weight credit in a tournament earns points, with 200 points going to the winner, 199 for second, 198 for third, and so on except for Super Tournaments, which award 300 points to the winner, 299 for second, 298 for third, and so on. These points determine angler standings. The Piedmont Division boater who amasses the most points at the end of the regular season will earn $1,000 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points leader, and the co-angler earning the most points will earn $500 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points leader in the Co-angler Division.
The $6.3 million Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League features 24 divisions nationwide. In BFL competition, boaters and co-anglers are randomly paired, with boaters supplying the boat and fishing against other boaters and co-anglers fishing from the back deck against other co-anglers.

Our goal is to teach, guide, and assist you to achieve and maintain your highest level of independence. We'll help you decide which infusion pump method is best for you.Click on one of the boxes below to learn more about which pump is best for you.
Learn more about Sentara Home Care Infusion Services
The Homepump
Sentara Home Care Services offers the Homepump, a small portable device that allows patients to self-administer their medication with ease while maintaining their independence. Most infusions take from 30 minutes to two hours from the Homepump device. While the medication is infusing, patients can move freely. In between infusions, patients are not connected to the Homepump, offering freedom of independence. Our nurses will demonstrate this device while teaching and assisting how to use the Homepump. We will teach proper care of the patient's IV access system and provide a written schedule of medication dose times. We are available 24 hours a day for questions and concerns.
Back to top
The IV Push
The IV Push is an option for administration of select medications, which offers minimal infusion time and is simple to learn. Each dose of medication is contained in an individual syringe and easily connects to the patient's IV line. Most medications are administered over a 10-minute period.
Our nurses will teach the patient how to administer their medication, flush, and care for the IV access device. We are available 24 hours a day for questions and concerns.
Curlin Pump
Sentara Home Care Services offer the Curlin infusion pump, a small portable device that allows patients to self-administer their medication with ease while maintaining their independence. The Curlin pump is an excellent choice for when automatic delivery of all prescribed doses of medications are necessary within a 24- to 48-hour period.
With the Curlin pump, no IV poles are necessary. Patients can move about freely with this pump. The IV pump and medication can be put into a pouch, fanny pack or backpack and wear it 24/7. This pump has an audible alarm that will indicate any problems. Our staff can help resolve any alarm issues over the phone any time of the day or night.
The Curlin infusion pump has the advantage of offering five different modalities. In addition, the pump allows clinicians to program a delay. For example, a home health nurse can go to a patient's home at 5 p.m. and set the pump to begin IV therapy five hours later. The Curlin pump also has the capability to provide history retrieval and line pressure monitoring.
Freedom 60 Syringe Infusion System
The Freedom 60 Syringe Infusion System is reliable, rugged, and dependable and is simple to teach and use. The Freedom 60 is not only light-weight and portable, making freedom of independence possible.
The Freedom 60 Syringe pump is predominately used for Specialty Medication Infusion therapy of subcutaneous Gamma-globulin therapy (Hizentra).
Our nurses will teach the patient how to administer their medication and care for the device. We are available 24 hours a day for questions and concerns.
SynchroMed Medtronic Pump
Sentara Home Care Services offer the SynchoMed Medtronic Pump. No other home care agency in the region offers this therapy. The simple but very significant advantage of this particular therapy is that patients who are immobile, like those with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries, don't have to find a way to get to the pain clinic to have their pump refilled.
For terminal patients and those with chronic pain, intrathecal or epidural infusion therapy is used through a SynchroMed Medtronic pump and hand-held programmer. The pump, which is surgically implanted by an anesthesiologist, holds a certain dosage of medication inside the body. It is then administered by one of several home care registered nurses, who have undergone extensive training with SynchroMed.
For more information about the SynchroMed Medtronic Pump, please call Sentara Home Infusion Services at 757-553-3290, Option 2 or 1-800-HOMECARE.

Los Jardineros By Michael Stone Published March 30, 2007 The Best Of Los JardinerosYazoo
It seems paradoxical, but many early Puerto Rican traditional recordings were actually made in New York. Responding to labor demands, Puerto Ricans began migrating north soon after gaining citizenship in 1917, bringing their music to immigrant enclaves in Brooklyn, Harlem and the Lower East Side. Los Jardineros, often cited as the era's standout ensemble, first recorded in 1929, fronting singers Heriberto Torres, Manolo Jiménez "Canario" and José Vilár. Backing the group was Arturo Catalá, the New York-based Okeh label's Puerto Rican representative and owner of the highly successful "Jardin Del Arte" record chain (hence the group's name). This recording gathers 23 of over 100 recorded tracks done between 1929-32, in various styles: bolero, son, guaracha, rumba, tango, vals, pasodoble, danza, seis, bomba, plena and aguinaldo (with several of the latter in the complex décima verse form). Historical photos and extensive English- and Spanish-language notes and lyrics round out an extraordinary documentary package.

When we moved into this house, the previous owner had some very nice custom wooden features made. One a built in wine rack with a nice large cabinet and drawers below the wine rack. Sadly, I have NO idea what the lady may have used to make this beautiful wood have such a HEAVY perfume scent.
I've tried everything I know to remove the odor because I"m allergic to highly perfumed odors. It's as bad as moving into a smoke infected house :( I'd hate to have to remove this wood, is there anyway it can be saved? When the house is closed up (winter) you can smell this sweet scent all through the house. It's over-powering and makes you cough. Please any ideas? We thought about trying to stain the inside of the drawers and cabinets but to be honest, I took one of the drawers outside and left it there for hours after washing with murphy oil soap and the bottom still had the smell to it? Appreciate any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
How is the wood finished? can you simply give it one more coat? |
I can think of three things to try. If the perfume is solvent based, an orange oil cleaner, I think its called citrasolve or something like that, might work. An application of white vinegar might neutralize the odor, followed by an application of baking soda solution. All of these remedies should be tried on a drawer that is removed and taken outdoors. |
I'm wondering whether it's a perfumed wax, in which case you might use naphtha to strip it off. Hopefully that's not the only finish on the wood. |
- Posted by wilted_flower (My Page) on Thu, Mar 29, 07 at 17:10
The wood is an oak finish. The insides of the drawers however seem to be a pressed wood. I have used Murphy's Oil soap, orange oil, and old english on the outsides..the outsides of the cabinet and drawers are fine. It's the smell that is either just embeded into the inside cabinets/drawers that is making the whole house smell like heavy perfume. It's kinda like those heavy scented envelopes you can buy to make closets smell good only this stuff doesn't go away :( I've put jars of vinegar inside the cabinet and left it for months..I've sprayed that stuff that is suppose to removed odors. We are at our wits ends...hubby thought maybe spraying the inside of the cabinet and inside of the drawers with that clear sealer would work..I"m skeptical since I think I"m doomed with this smell...either we have to move or rip it all out? Perfume smells can be as nasty as cigarette smoke to sensitive people. To be honest, I wish it was a smoke smell, that you CAN get rid of with hard work..this seems to just keep coming back no matter what we do. |
Contact someone with an ozone generator. A typical place would be a "Disaster Recovery" firm, some commercial carpet cleaners, or sometimes movers and warehouses. They are used to neutralize odors such as smoke, cadavers, urine, etc. Check with them to see if they think it will take care of the problem. There are portable units and large walk-in chambers that they use. You will need to leave the house while it's running as high concentrations of ozone is a health hazard. Ozone is O3, that is an oxygen molecule with an extra oxygen atom. The extra atom is split off naturally and wants to react with something and often that is the organic thing sitting around that smells bad. It's what gives the air a fresh smell after a thunderstorm. I am with you; I can't stand too much perfume and am highly sensitive to tobacco smoke. |
- Posted by hey_starfish (My Page) on Fri, Mar 30, 07 at 1:32
I'm guessing that your probably smelling the particle board drawers off-gassing volatile organic compounds like urea-formaldahyde? I don't think that that awful smell is going to go away by cleaning the cabinets with other smelly cleaners or some fancy air-filtration gadget. Your choices might be limited to either to make an attempt to refinish them with a water-based wood finish product to seal in the odor especially on any raw cut edges or to have the drawers rebuilt by a cabinetmaker with another material or even real wood. |
If all else fails, a coat or two of shellac makes an excellent odor barrier. |
- Posted by wilted_flower (My Page) on Sat, Mar 31, 07 at 0:02
Thanks for all the ideas...I think the ozone is out of the question for this. Be easier to just yank it all out..too many pets, kids etc to try and vacate...I doubt it's vapors from the wood products..it's soooooooo perfumy (if that is a word ;)...not chemical smelling at all. More like someone poured perfume on your head and you sat in the sun...I'd rather smell a chemical smell at this point. I think the shellac is an idea if all else fails..even tho it will be another evil chemical to deal with...I think we'll try and paint the insides with either a paint or stain and then seal that...if that doesn't work, guess we remove the cabinet and rebuild or just ace it...I'm for moving but since we just moved here in Aug. and houses are moving down $ wise, we'd loose too much so we're stuck here till real estate corrects...and that doesn't look like it's going to be soon. Thanks again for all the ideas and suggestions! We appreciate it :) |
Shellac is not an evil chemical. It is a natural organic resin from insects in Asia. It is dissolved in alcohol. You can dilute it with 190 proof drinking alcohol if you wish, though it's more cost effective to use denatured alcohol that is rendered non-potable by addition of methanol, thereby avoiding beverage taxes. If you have ever eaten a shiny apple or taken enteric medication, you have eaten shellac. |

THANKS kmealy! I had no idea...I thought shellac was stinky, slow drying and sticky forever..thanks for the lesson! I use neem oil on plants so shellac seems perfectly safe. We'll try that :) |
Shellac dries in 15-20 minutes. It is a perfect finish for the inside of casework because it does not have a lingering after-smell, like most oil-based products. It even smells fairly good during application, though use some ventilation. Shellac has a limited shelf-life. So mix fresh from flakes or check the date on pre-mixed. As soon as it is dissolved in alcohol it starts slowly degrading (esterification), and at some point will not dry. Once it is applied, it is a long-lasting as any finish, maybe the longest lasting. |

Two or three coats of shellac will seal in any odor. The alcohol solvent in shellac will literally take your breath away in an enclosed space. Be sure to wear an organic vapor respirator and apply it outdoors or where there is plenty of ventilation or you could just use the waterbase polyurethane and avoid the issue. |

Thanks again for the useful info. I may have a problem.. since this is inside, and we can only do the drawers outside. We have a large aquarium in the dining room and I'm concered the vapors/smell could harm the fish? We have a huge whole house fan that would suck out the vapors fine I think for the house but the fish? I now when we have painted, we've had to cover the tank will that be ok for shellac as well? I'd hate to kill any of the fish, some are over 10 years old and have moved 800 miles..lol, they are like family now and HUGE... |
- Posted by Murray(email@example.com) onSat, May 7, 11 at 21:55
I found this site looking for a way to get rid of a similar smell. The difference is, I know what it it from. It is a cabinet that was used for many years to store perfumed candles in. Now we want to put the cabinet to a different use, where the smell is objectionable. I think I will try the shellac. |
Charcoal filters, an open box of baking soda, and Nilodor are also remedies that one could try. However, a new question should always start a new thread, even if it links back to an old thread. Hope the OP was successful with odor and fish! KarinL |

Fantastic! When (finally) done, this kitchen will have soul and charm that CANNOT be BOUGHT. It will be the pulsing heart of the household. I love that you are working with what you have, doing it yourself over time, and making it fit the character that the house asks for. Keep up the progress! |

I like it! Those posts and beams are beautiful :) Are you still moving? Everything is looking so nice...tell DH well done! |
Oh, man. You're shaming me! My excuse is always, "when it's done." I'm going on 6 years, 7 if you count the year we had a fire. I wasn't able to do anything that year, so I count from 2008. I love those beams, and BOY do I get that support system! That progress sure has to be a sense of accomplishment! :) |

I could totally live with that! My "mock kitchen" for two years was two doors from my demo'd pantry stretched across two sawhorses in my living room. We made do with only a toaster, a microwave, and a coffeemaker. Sigh. I almost miss it. Good times! Looking good!! |
This is going to be a truly awesome kitchen. I wish I had this type of vision and patience! Your floors are incredible. The entire thing is going to be so homey (pretty sure that its my favorite word for a kitchen). Great table and chairs. I like how you're using dresser drawers in the dining room. Reminds me of the honeymooners. How do you like this? What can you keep in them? |
- Posted by debrak2008 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 19, 14 at 17:40
Love the post and beam. I also ask are you selling this house? |
Thank you for your encouraging words, beautybutdebtfree (like the name. : )), Lavender Lass, CEFreeman, jellytoast, magsnj, and debrak2008. Yes, we still plan to sell this house. The kitchen is the main bugaboo that's keeping it off the market yet. Once it's done, up for sale it goes. It was fun to expose the post and beams, and to find the wide plank floors under the layers of carpet, old vinyl stick tile, and subflooring. We've found dressers to be highly useful items in the kitchen. They'll hold pretty much anything a set of cupboard drawers will hold as long as the bottoms are solid enough. In mine you'd find surplus items like table cloths and decorations, kitchen equipment that's used infrequently: rolling pins, waffle irons, etc., lightbulbs + batteries, and snacky stuff that's eaten right at the table: chips, crackers, granola bars, and so forth. You might even find my 4 year old's wardrobe in some of them, as we usually change her downstairs! LOL Thanks again for the kind words and support. : ) Oh, and speaking of support, Christine, it's sounds like you might like to own a cabinet jack. Need another tool in your tool stash? It beats holding up cabinets on your head (not that I've done that personally, or anything, smirk), or trying to find the right sized cookbooks to get them to the right level. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cabinet Jack
ooo. What one can do with the proper tool! I actually stand on the counters, press my head against the ceiling and screw my cabs in. Not sure what I'd do with that nice lookin' fella. :) Jellytoast, I had the same situation! I had the freezer part of a side-by-side, microwave and a sometimes working toaster oven. No water, no heat (or air), and everything ran off extension cords to the breaker box. I look at the very few pictures I have and know I must have been in a pretty bad place to somehow find that OK. |
Love seeing this! It will be a beautiful space, and it's fun to be able to see it coming together. You know it's a well-run household when the tablecloth holes are fastidiously taped. ;-) The post and beam structure and plank floors are awesome. |
Christine, you really must know "Jack". ; ) It truly is amazing what we can adapt to when we are in the midst of living life, isn't it. Normally I try to pkg. up my kids outgrown clothes and save them for the next in line. At the beginning of this reno when the whole place was skeevy, I had to toss a lot of my crawler's stuff. It was ruined by the filth that we were living and working in each day. Fortunately, the lighting at the time was deplorable, so mostly, I just didn't see it. Yikes. Thanks Mudhouse ! "You know it's a well-run household when the tablecloth holes are fastidiously taped. ;-) " Really gave me a chuckle. : ) |
You cracked me up with the "movement and texture" photo. You are working with such a beautiful space. I think my kitchen will be in progress for a looooong time because we are DIYIng a lot of it. |

Plan for an Emergency: Earthquake
Before an Earthquake occurs
If you live in an earthquake prone area, consider how to minimise the risk of serious injury if an earthquake occurs.
- Brace tall, free-standing bookshelves and water heaters to step them from falling over
- Keep chairs, lounges and bed clear of items that could cause damage including ceiling fans, hanging pictures or plants and mirrors
- Store heavy items on bottom shelves and ensure there's a heavy latch on suspended cupboards
- Make sure hazardous materials are stored in a secure place
- Keep a torch and battery-powered radio beside your bed
- Identify and discuss with your family, the safest areas for you to shelter during an earthquake
- Also discuss with your family if you identify a place to meet if you become separated
- Check your fully insured for damage to your home, by checking your insurance policy covers earthquake damage.
During a Earthquake
- Drop to the ground, find cover and hold on.
- If you're indoors it's recommended you stay there to avoid falling debris outside and shelter under a sturdy table, bench or doorframe
- Stay clear of windows, chimneys and items hanging overhead including fans and other heavy items
- If you're in crowded areas, avoid rushing towards the doors, as there's a risk of injury. Find shelter if possible and avoid overhead fittings and shelves
- In a high-rise building - stay clear of windows and outer walls. Shelter under a desk. Don't use lifts as there's a risk you'll become trapped
- If outside, be aware of falling debris and stay clear of buildings, overhead structures, walls, bridges, power lines and trees
- If you're in a car, stop in an open area until the shaking stops, tune to ABC Local Radio before moving. Be aware of damaged roads, fallen power lines, landslips, damaged overpasses and bridges
After a Earthquake
- Be aware of hazards
- Check for injuries and apply first aid. Don't move anyone with serious injuries unless they're in immediate danger
- In your home, turn off electricity and water. Check for damaged wiring and check for fuel leaks. Don't light matches
- Check for broken water, sewerage or electrical mains
- Try to avoid using your phone immediately to avoid network congestion unless there's a life threatening situation. Call 000.
- Be aware that there may be aftershocks. Assess your home or building for cracks in the walls, chimneys or roof damage and evacuate if necessary.
- Listen to ABC Local Radio and act on warnings or advice regarding damage or potential threats to your safety
- Don't waste food or water because supply may be interrupted
- Avoid driving unless it's an emergency to keep the streets clear for emergency services. Don't go sightseeing or enter damaged buildings
- Stay calm and be of assistance to others if possible
Earthquake Emergency Services
The State Emergency Service is the lead agency during times of Earthquake across Australia. For assistance call 132 500 or 000 if it's life threatening.
Geoscience Australia measures the magnitude of intensity of earthquakes. If you experience an earthquake report it via the Geoscience Australia website.

Inside Petra: World Heritage Site and a check off the bucket list…
Petra is a historic red-rock city carved directly into soaring sandstone cliffs in the Ma'an Governorate of Jordan. Petra (meaning "stone" in Greek) was inhabited by the Nabateans, an ancient, nomadic Arabic tribe who designated Petra as their capital city circa 6th century B.C.
Travelers walk through al-Siq السيق also known as "the sic," to reach the official entrance to Petra – and the long stroll through the narrow gorges is the only way to access the city. The mountains tower around you with swirls of every shade of red until you see the resplendent first view of the Treasury building appear in the distance.
Around the city you'll find numerous ruins of tombs and temples. If you climb the hundreds of steps to the top of the archeological site you'll find an impressively in tact Monastery, worth-the-climb views, Bedouin style shops and places to sit and drink tea along the way.
Petra is a necessary stop for travelers, explorers, historians…any souls who marvel at the astounding work and capacity of mankind.

As soon as possible, we ask the court to put the case on the trial calendar. When a client is in poor health, we shorten the discovery process and ask the judge to expedite the case by moving it rapidly to the top of the trial calendar. A long period of discovery is a luxury that many clients cannot afford and we have been very successful at moving cases rapidly through the legal system.
Putting the case on the court's trial calendar usually marks the beginning of serious settlement negotiations. We consult with the client and enter into negotiations with the defendants. We present each defendant with a demand that is reasonably based on that company's share of liability in the lawsuit. We have settlement programs with several major defendants that give our cases favorable treatment.
Many defendants choose to settle once presented with the evidence against them, but we often start trial against one or more defendants. It frequently happens that during the course of jury selection the remaining defendants agree to settle; others settle during trial. It is unusual for a case to go all the way to a verdict.
Asbestos trials usually last about a month with evidence being given by treating doctors, oncologists, pulmonologists, pathologists, industrial hygienists, co-workers, the client and family, and others. (Read more about Kazan Law verdicts.)

This is my grandmother's (92 yrs) fudge recipe. I remember her making this, when I was little, every time she came over to our house. She'd be standing by the stove beating the fudge for quite a while.
Bring to a boil: 4 cups brown sugar
Add: 4 Tablespoons butter Lower temperature and cook, stirring, until it reaches 235 degrees on candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add: 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Beat until it start to set. Pour into buttered 9-inch pan. The beating could take up to 10 minutes. Pour into pan as soon as it starts to set. If cooked too fast or too long, it will be too sugary. According to my grandmother, it should be smooth. |
Follow-Up Postings:
My grandmother also made fudge like that. I think the recipe should be amended to read "beat until your arm falls off"!..LOL!...I can't seem to beat it with that wooden spoon as long as Grandma. Linda C |

Guest Post by Annie Whitman, Education Initiatives Coordinator – WSKG, Binghamton, New York
The variety of our coverage is often what makes us unique—But where school safety is concerned, this variety is what made us realize we're not so different after all. The area that WSKG serves is made up of communities ranging from small urban centers to rural farming towns to well-respected university hubs. As a whole, the communities in this entire area take pride in this being a great place to raise a family, not unlike Newtown, Connecticut.
The topics explored in the After Newtown programming have been at the forefront of discussion, especially the issue of school safety. So naturally, many students, parents, and schools, whether home to a campus of 10,000 young adults or a first grade class of 28 children, have a heightened interest and concern.
Their main worry: What steps are our schools and universities taking? WSKG created a local TV special to air in conjunction with PBS's After Newtown programming. It was a true interdepartmental collaboration to bring together two panels of local experts to share authentic conversation pertaining to our community. WSKG's well-known radio host, Crystal Sarakas, ventured into our TV studio to moderate this special production. The community dialogue featured the voices and views of a university associate dean of community & public affairs, a rural school district superintendent, an inner-city district assistant superintendent, the deputy chief of a university police department, and a retired child and adolescent psychologist. The result: a well-balanced and insightful discussion that related to the daily lives of all viewers.
WSKG Education will continue to sustain the topics brought up in After Newtown by launching a SAFETY webpage throughout March. It will build off of resources from the diverse NCME collection, including the Not In Our School resource guide and localized information for families facing childhood mental illness. This SAFETY page will fulfill an additional need to provide resources for other areas of concern to parents, students, and schools (fire safety, natural disaster safety, etc.). WSKG recognizes public media's responsibility to engage in thoughtful consideration of how national news and issues of importance are impacting our local communities.
