Erie County unemployment rate falls below 6 percent
It took 68 months and plenty of pain. But for the first time since 2008, Erie County's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate has fallen below 6 percent.
That's according to new figures from the state Department of Labor & Industry, which reports that Erie County's unemployment rate for June was 5.9 percent, down two-tenths of a percentage point from May. The unemployment rate hasn't been this low since September 2008.
The improvement was even more substantial in neighboring Crawford County, where the unemployment rate fell from 6.0 percent to 5.3 percent.
Improvements in Erie County were led by an increase of 200 manufacturing jobs and the addition of 800 leisure and hospitality jobs since May.
The unemployment rate has been improving steadily over the past 12 months, with Erie County's seasonally adjusted rate falling from 7.5 percent.
Meanwhile, the number of people counted as unemployed in Erie County has tumbled over the past year from 11,000 to 8,300.
But those aren't the only numbers that are falling.
The size of the civilian labor force -- the number of people either working or available to work -- slid from 140,500 to 139,200 since June 2013.
A decline in the workforce is sometimes attributed to a rising number of discouraged workers. But a shrinking workforce can also be linked to a declining need for a second income.
"It's good news," Jim Kurre, director emeritus of the Economic Research Institute of Erie at Penn State Behrend, said of the decline in the unemployment rate.
"However, when you get behind the numbers it's a little less good," he said, a reference to the fact that the number of people holding down jobs fell in June.
That decline was offset by a larger decline in the labor force.
Ashley Kobal, a labor analyst with the state Department of Labor & Industry, can't explain reasons for the shrinking pool of workers. But she knows it's not unique to Erie.
"It's nationwide, and it's hard to say whether you should be concerned about it or not," she said.
While Erie County's numbers have improved, its unemployment rate is only the 10th best among the state's 14 metropolitan areas.
State College had the lowest unemployment rate among metro areas at 4.1 percent.
For Erie County, June represented the 24th consecutive month without an increase in the unemployment rate, Kobal said.
The 5.9 percent unemployment rate also marked a dramatic decline from the worst of the high unemployment rates since the recession began in 2007.
Unemployment in Erie County peaked at 9.7 percent for four months beginning in December 2009.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is to abandon its home of 96 years at Lord's Cricket Ground in London and move to Dubai."The package on offer to relocate the ICC to Dubai was very attractive and preparations are now in an advanced stage to move to the Emirate in August this year," ICC chairman Ehsan Mani said in a statement released overnight. Cricket's international governing body has had its headquarters at the Marylebone Cricket Club in north-west London since 1909. Its operations had been split between London, which handled all of the administrative work, and the commercial and financial operation in Monaco. "The Board has been committed to unifying its administration for some time and after considering a range of offers from around the world, the directors were of the view that Dubai provided the best way forward for the international game," Mani added. The ICC will initially move to a complex within Dubai's Media City for two years before building its own premises within the specially-constructed Sports City complex. Mani said the decision to leave Lord's had been a difficult one."Clearly, cricket's deep association with England and particularly Lord's as the historic home of the sport was a factor that weighed heavily in the board's discussions on this matter," he said."Nevertheless, like many international governing bodies before us, it is clear that operating in the United Kingdom under the current system is not in the best interests of our members. "I would like to thank the MCC for its role in running and then hosting the ICC over the past 96 years." -Reuters

Curry County Commissioners selected nominees for the District 42 and District 7 state senate seats vacated by Shirley Bailey, R-Hobbs, and Sen. Patrick Lyons, R-Cuervo, respectively.
The nominee for the District 42 position, made during the regular commission meeting Tuesday, is Dennis James Roch, the current chairman of the Curry County Republican Party and a teacher at Texico schools, according to Curry County Manager Geneva Cooper.
In District 7, Clint Harden, a Republican and the current New Mexico Secretary of Labor, is the nominee for Curry County to replace Lyons, who is the newly elected State Land Commissioner, Cooper said.
Ruth Kelly, director of Boards and Commissions in Gov. Gary Johnson's office, said all the names for Bailey's replacement are in and the office is setting a schedule for interview times.
By law, each county commission selects a nominee and the governor makes the final decision. The governor will interview each nominee and make a decision on that day, expected to be in December.
Bailey announced her resignation Nov. 6, saying she was leaving state government because her husband had been offered a job in Texas. Her term expires in two years.
Lea and Roosevelt counties have already selected nominees to replace Bailey. Lea County commissioners selected Gay Kernan of Hobbs, while Roosevelt County nominated County Commissioner Chad Davis. Both nominees are Republicans.
Lyons' district includes Colfax, Curry, Harding, San Miguel, Quay and Union counties. Quay County commissioners will make their recommendation Monday. Union County commissioners have not set a meeting for the nomination but expect to make their nomination by Dec. 3.

For the live music bands wedding ceremonies are equally important performance-wise. The band can provide a wide array of musical numbers to a bevy of guests belonging to different age groups. It is necessary to perform oldies or newest chart toppers with the same ease so that the audience may swing with them.
It must be remembered when booking a hertfordshire live band is a place of performance where setting up the mood of the audience is a prime factor. The client should ask the band what he wants and it is the band's duty to follow that theme.

Recently, there are a number of themed weddings. This is where the bands caliber is at stake. There must be coordination between the theme of the wedding and the song selection and song line up of the band. The performance should always tally with the theme to give it more life. If the theme is a beach party, reggae performances are expected while a themed wedding at a farmhouse will go along best with country numbers. The band should be dressed up to the theme and their performances should steer up the crowd in order to complement the theme.
Moreover, many a times, there are requests from the clients in the wedding to do some special dance. For the hertfordshire party band could be challenging to perform those dances and the band should be prepared for it. The special moments when the bride is walking down the aisle or the groom kissing the bride should be backed up with tracks by the band that matches the situation.

One should always go for the best hertfordshire soul tribute band after going through and interviewing various to select the one that caters to your specific requirements. That is, book hertfordshire wedding bands who are great in the kind of music that you want to play in your wedding.

First there were One Cups, the soft-bottomed open filter style K-Cup knock-offs and now the latest trend that seems to be picking-up steam is yet another K-Cup knock-off which goes by the name of Real Cups. What are Real Cups you ask? Simple... they're similar to a One Cup that has the plastic K-Cup shell re-attached to the bottom. If you cut one open, you'll notice it uses the same filter style as a One Cup. As a result, you get a fusion of both a One Cup's soft-bottomed filter and a K-Cup's plastic shell all into one. We actually like this approach since this ensures the coffee won't go stale and can be stored for long periods of time in carousels or storage racks without any worries.
When our friends at ECS Coffee told us they'd be sending us samples of the Martinson Real Cups for review after they toured the manufacturing facilities, we thought ok... we'll just get the single Real Cups in a Ziploc bag when we open the shipping box. Well, color us pleasantly surprised when we got the shipment. Nothing could have prepared us for what we received once we opened everything.
The Marley Coffee Talkin Blues Coffee, 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain, Single Serve RealCup for Keurig K-cup Brewers is made from 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee. If you've never had Jamaican Blue Coffee before - well you've been missing out on some of the smoothest coffee around. Marley coffee only sources small batches of coffee, so expect the best when you have these in your single serve coffee brewer. The Marley Coffee Talkin Blues Coffee Single Serve RealCups will work in any K-Cup Brewer.
Thanks to JB for the tip.
There's even more coffee now for your Keurig brewer and it's from the same people who make T-Disc coffees - Gevalia. Coffee for Keurig by Gevalia will work in any K-Cup Brewer, and there's a good selection to start.
Thanks to William for sending in this tip.
Looks like Safeway has entered into the knock off K-Cup market with their Safeway SELECT Coffee Pods. Designed to work in any K-Cup Brewer, these coffee pods feature real ground coffee and come in a variety of offerings.
Coffee varieties include:
AB has found Java Delight UnCups (AKA K-Cups) at Shaw's in Bangor, Maine. They sell for $6.99 for a box of 12, and apparently the Donut Shop Blend was not that bad. These will work in any Keurig K-Cup brewer. The Java Delight UnCups are available throughout the 4,000+ grocery stores owned by SUPERVALU including: ACME, ALBERTSONS, CUB Foods, FARM FRESH, HORNBACHER'S, JEWEL-OSCO, SHAW'S, STAR MARKET, SHOP 'N SAVE and SHOPPERS. The Java Delight UnCup will also be available at independent stores who are supplied by SUPERVALU.
An SSC reader has written in that President's Choice in Canada is offering PC Medium Roast Decaffeinated Gourmet Coffee Pods. It makes our reader believe their K-Cup compatible coffee pods must be doing well to offer a decaf version and we believe he's right. These medium roast coffee pods are compatible with Keurig K-Cup brewers, and are an exclusive blend of some of the world's finest arabica beans, specially selected and roasted to deliver a smooth, mellow coffee with rich, medium-bodied flavour and a complex aroma. The decaf process used is a SWISS Water process, so no harsh chemicals used here.
For about as long as we can recall, Swiss Miss hot cocoas have been a staple in many American homes over the years and up until now, the most common format it came in was powder packets. Known for its smooth Swiss milk chocolate taste (think Milka), this has been one of our favorites for ages. A few months ago, Green Mountain decided they'd take a crack at things and introduced what we're reviewing today: Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa K-Cups.
Brewing these K-Cups resulted in the distinct aroma of Swiss milk chocolate with sweet cocoa notes filling the room. Flavor was a bit more hit or miss though. When we tried our first K-Cup, about half the powder remained stuck in the bottom of the K-Cup after brewing (despite having shaken the K-Cup beforehand) which resulted in a horrible-tasting "hint of cocoa" flavored water. We had to dump the cup since it tasted so watery.
We've long been a fan of any of the Newman's Own Organics coffees, and this blend looks like it will make us a fan as well. Newman's Own Organics Café Almond Biscotti K-Cups has the taste of that biscotti you just dipped in your coffee without the biscotti. We're pretty sure these are limited so get them while you can. These K-Cups will work in any Keurig K-Cup brewer.
Mother Parkers Coffee sent us these Second Cup Premium Arabica Real Cup Single Serve Cups that will work in your Keurig K-Cup brewer. We aren't sure where you can get these stateside yet, but if you can get them in Canada - pick some up. This medium roast with brilliant chocolate overtones is one of the best morning cups of coffee we've had in a long time. The red in the design on the single cup also gets our mouths watering. The Second Cup Real Cups aren't listed on the Real Cup site yet, but we do know some retailers are carrying them already.
AB ran across Taste of Inspirations Single Serve Cups (K-Cups) while at Hannaford food in Bangor Maine. From what we understand, it is the private label brand for Hannaford Foods and Food Lion.
They offer the following:
They run $6.99 for a box of 12.

Gliding around an open-air rink, arm in arm with a lover or best friend, is possibly the most romantic thing you can do in winter - at least until you fall over. Here's our favourite ice-skating experiences in the UK
Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, London
This winter, the south end of Hyde Park will be transformed into a Christmas wonderland. The Christmas Markets will have more than 100 stalls full of potential stocking-fillers, Father Christmas will be in attendance for children, and if you want great views of London by night, then hop aboard the giant observation wheel. But the centrepiece is the charming ice rink around the Victorian bandstand. Once dark, the rink will be lit with thousands of lights, accompanied by a suitably cheesy Christmas soundtrack to get you in the festive mood. Once you've had enough skating, there are various cafés and bars to put your feet up in; we love the Carousel Bar, which revolves as you sip mulled wine. And keep your eyes peeled for celebrity skaters: Kate Moss and Chris Martin are said to be fans.
Open: 20 November 2015-3 January

Milwaukee music staple Kevin Sucher overseeing new record label

Sucher has been involved in a number of musical endeavors in Milwaukee, including playing in late bands Sister Moon and Gerard with Eric Benet.

Jewish Museum hosts provocative artwork of Soviet Union
Felix Lembersky's Jewish heritage and cultural background as a citizen of the Soviet Union during one of the most turbulent times of the modern age express themselves deeply in his artwork — indeed they are buttressed by this identity. The Jewish Museum is hosting a provocative, if at times inconsistent, survey of this artist's profoundly experienced life in paint.
The most ambitious work in the show is an interpretation of atrocity. "Execution: Babi Yar" (1952) depicts the 1941 massacre of 80,000 souls, 34,000 of whom were Jewish. Lembersky was one of the first visual artists to treat this subject matter. In doing so he used compositional devices from art history, specifically Gustave Courbet, as well as his knowledge of Soviet Social Realist traditions and his own gutsy paint application. »Read Full Article

Day 24
Exercise: crossfit
Breakfast: mushroom 2 egg + 3 egg white omelette
Lunch: 1/2 yam, banana
Snack: 2 hardboiled eggs, popcorn and slice of cheese (gasp!)
I think the difficulty with the idea of exercising less is that I actually love to exercise! I played competitive sports up until a few years ago and then started running (ran a marathon... and in pretty good time for my first full 3hrs41min). It is something I am passionate about. So I understand it might sometimes throw a wrench in my weight loss goals... but I just love it.
Breakfast: turkey, veggies, 2 small apples
Snacks: 2 hardboiled eggs
Lunch: protein shake w banana
Exercise: run 6 km
Snack: brussel sprouts, small apple, huge carrot
Dinner: turkey, squash soup, carrots

I am trying the potato deal..... EAT MOAR TATERS
Yest (30): walk 12 km
Today (31): crossfit
I also just noticed this thread by pklopp: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread68571.html
He is a very knowledgable poster. Please give it a read before you decide to do the potato thing.
Last edited by yodiewan; 10-26-2012 at 07:57 AM.
Thanks, Yodiewan.
I have actually been very happy with my current approach eating the occasional treat. I find in the past I have been too hard on myself and would go 2 weeks without eating a single piece of bread or treat and then I would crash. And crash hard for a day or 2 and erase all the benefit of the previous 2 weeks. With the occasional treat I am much more sane.
The potato thing just sounds ludicrous. And easy and cheap. ha! That being said... I am a 26 yo and will be drinking on Saturday night (not excessively).... well not THAT excessively.
I am not preaching perfection or attempting it... I am just stumbling along on my own little path
Sounds like the whole 30 might not be for you then. Keep on keepin' on and do what works for you.
Also, I actually read that thread that pklopp started about the potato diet and it really didn't contain any useful info. It was mostly just bickering. His website (potatofast.com) might offer some good insight eventually though. And his posts on intermittent fasting from a while ago are very good.

Get It Done 101
Get It Done 101 - How to STOP Procrastinating and Tackle Your BIG Ideas with Confidence ... So that You Can Make More Money and Help More People!
People ask me all the time, "Kim, HOW do you do all that you do?"
This has been a really productive year for me... I re-launched my website, created a high-traffic blog, launched a new membership program, hosted an online telesummit with 18 experts, was on TV and radio numerous times (including the Today Show) and released a new info-product. And, I'm also the mother of three young (and very busy) children.
How have I done all this? The answer is...I have a really great system.
This system I teach can be used repeatedly for ANY ideas that you want to take from vision to execution.
- Get clarity around your ideas and your vision (like which projects on your to-do list are going to generate the most income and the most momentum)
- Break down your project into "bite-size" manageable pieces so you never feel overwhelmed by your big ideas
- Learn the art of resourcefulness (you don't have to know HOW everything gets done)
- Get out of your own way and stay focused as you move towards your big goals
- Use my 5 strategies to get whatever you want done, done (won't that feel great?)
