Local woman back to work after serious heart condition
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Our quest to bring you all the facts on women's heart disease continues as part of our partnership with Wellmont Health System.
Monday was 58-year-old Debbie Hurd's first day back at work as a medical technologist at Holston Valley Medical Center. She had to take a few sick days for the first time in ten years.
Back in May her everyday activity, like her exercise routine, suddenly began to hurt. "Every time I was doing something [that required exerting energy], I would get this severe burning in my throat," said Hurd.
She chalked it up to simple heartburn, at least for a while. "I couldn't even walk up one flight of steps. [After] two months, I had really gotten to where something had to be done," Hurd told News 5.
Dr. Chris Metzger, a cardiologist with the Wellmont CVA Heart Institute, told us that was the right thing to do -- what Hurd thought was heartburn was an extremely severe case of coronary artery disease, where 90 to 95 percent of a crucial entryway into the heart was blocked. "She had a blockage in her left main coronary artery that supplies two-thirds of the heart muscle," said Dr. Metzger.
"It was shocking to me because I had no family history [of heart problems]. All my lab work and cholesterol, everything you hear about was absolutely normal. I'm in no way hypertensive," said Hurd.
We're told most times, doctors have to perform an open heart surgery to repair a condition as serious as Hurd's, but she was able to avoid that inside a catheterization lab.
Dr. Metzger said because of the severity of the condition inside such a vital artery, not all doctors will perform a stent procedure in the left main artery, but to Hurd's relief Dr. Metzger said it can be done in Kingsport; that means the recovery is much quicker. "You don't have to be put to sleep with general anesthesia, and don't have to have a sternotomy," Dr. Metzger said of the benefits of using stent technology.
As it turns out, it was the perfect fit for a woman as active and driven as Hurd. "A week of recovery, and I'm doing fine!" said Hurd.
She's back at it to help other men and women analyze their own heart health from inside her lab. "That's just who I am," Hurd added. "I don't like to sit around and think about how I feel."
Doctors told News 5, as in Hurd's case, no one is immune to coronary artery disease, but there are some ways to can lower your risk factors. For example, don't smoke. Eat responsibly and exercise regularly.
Doctors also remind us to be aware that men and women can have different symptoms.
Like Hurd, some women experience pain in other parts of their body, like in the throat and arms, where men more often might experience chest pains.

How cold is it? Warm enough to fly?
Mark Berninghausen
Don't provoke a hive full of angry bees.
Unless you are going to treat the hive for varroa I wouldn't bother doing an ether roll at this time. Which may seem contradictory to what I wrote before. But, unless you are going to do something w/ the information, you may do more damage than the information gathering is worth, at this time of year.
Mark Berninghausen
Don't provoke a hive full of angry bees.
Just to clarify - hive boxes and screened bottom boards often have different dimensions, and we try to level the playing field for discussion by stating mites per square inch and mention how many boxes of brood are over it. Frames with % brood would be better, or maybe even square inches of brood. Another factor to consider is how sticky is the sticky board? Can mites crawl off your sticky board in the cold? That could conceal great numbers of mites present in your colony, leading to an unanticipated winter loss and misleading information about your bees and their mites. Something to consider when trying to determine VSH tendencies for a potential breeder queen....
Jim Lyon, Mark, and Daniel Y - nice posts!
WLC - Thank you for the link! As far as to whom to refer for info? I'd go with the read-everything-and-think about how it applies to YOUR bees and THEIR little world of hexagons, sisters, momma queen, flowers, temperature, weather, mischief-makers, etc. school of thought...
So I'm glad we have Randy Oliver (donate to his site, everyone!), the universities, the internet, Beesource, The Hive and the Honeybee, all the other books, Germany's and Russia's and England's and Canada's scientific bee publications, etc. I also am glad that we have the observation hive!

I got interested in bees about 4 months ago and watched a lot of youtube videos. That gave me basic information and the courage to make some swarm lures and try catching some wild swarms this coming spring.
I had more detailed questions about beekeeping than youtube answered and in searching found this forum where I got detailed answers. I still have questions, so I'll keep reading old posts and searching in other places and when I can't find answers there I'll post questions here.
Thanks to all the beekeepers who spend time helping other people.

Water pistol?

The pistol garbage is fad. Defenses will adjust like they have to other gimmick offenses. Relying on Qbs to run in the NFL has a very limited shelf life.

weapon control extreme and you lott thought abbama was the one responsible
Here in America we don't need those whe have the second amendment .
MY Girl has a 32 auto that not only leaves a mark it will likely leave a body that wont rape again .
That's outstanding... I wonder what will happen to the poor girl after he pulls out the meat Puppet... and it's all barbed up... maybe they need to add a little cyanide to that contraption first.. but it will not stop butt raping... B2B
Thats a great idea. Create a device that stops a rapist during the act causing him to bleed inside of his victim in a country where AIDS and HIV are extremely prevelent... I heard. 38 special does the same thing without letting the rape occur first.

This is a sick example of the modern 'victim psychology'. This invention requires penetration.
If a would be rapist makes it through my wife's attack trained pit bull and very large industrial size can of pepper spray, she will simply put a magazine full of .380 rounds into his head and chest. No need for a little gadget like that one.

Study Niagara Falls by the numbers—more than 700,000 gallons of water rush over an approximately 13-story plunge in high season—and it's easy to understand why this natural wonder has drawn visitors for more than two centuries. But Niagara Falls isn't meant to be studied, it's meant to be seen. Straddling the border between Canada and the United States, Niagara Falls stands as a shining example of Mother Nature's powerful beauty.
The Digs
The upscale, recently renovated Marriott Gateway on the Falls in Ontario, Canada, makes for the perfect home base as you explore the Falls and its environs. Comfort flows freely in your spacious two-queen accommodations, which boast sweeping views of the city of Niagara Falls or of the famous cascade outside. Take a plunge in the indoor pool or work up a sweat in the fitness center. The hotel also offers a steady stream of amenities, including an on-site Starbucks.
The Diversions
Channel you inner foodie with an included breakfast buffet for two each morning. Afterward, whet your whistle with two included drinks in the Greatroom Lounge & Bar. Once you're feeling nice and lucky, use two included passes for the casino shuttle and hedge your bets on a fun night out.
"To view this natural miracle—Niagara Falls— while sipping my coffee from the comfort of a couch with a fireplace next to me was dream-like."-- TripAdvisor

When Hacker School made a big splash in the news last spring, it was due to their new grants for women. Sponsored by Etsy, GitHub and Palantir, the grants were aimed to help make Hacker School more affordable and inviting for women interested in attending the three-month student-led educational program. Hacker School is actually free for the accepted few, but living in their New York locale for three months can get pretty pricey.
While some applauded the effort made to get more women into programming, there was a backlash at the reverse sexism. Even so, Hacker School reported recently that their last two batches have been 35%-45% women so they must be onto something. They are offering the grants for women again for the next winter session, and applications are due January 1st at 11:59pm EST. If you're worried that you're not cool or good enough to be a "hacker" in the popularized connotation of the term, don't be. Hacker School made it very clear what their definition of "hacker" is (curious go-getters) and what it is not (pompous know-it-alls).
I had the chance to chat with Betsy Cannon, who just finished the fall session at Hacker School. She has a degree in physics and was working as an environmental community organizer through Lutheran Volunteer Corps when she decided to apply to Hacker School.

From her sewing machine to Peter Saville album covers, fashion designer Katie Battersby tells Viva about some of her favourite things.
Katie Battersby launched her namesake label in 2010, quietly building up a staunch following with those who like their clothes to have an artistic point of difference. Each piece is handmade and features appliques made from vintage fabrics, with an eye on decorative arts - a reflection of Battersby's background studying at Elam School of Fine Arts. Initially focusing on T-shirts with her other bespoke line Binkie, her Katie Battersby label offers full collections with an intelligent, witty take on fashion. She tells us about some of her favourite things, from heirloom sewing machines to the magic of public libraries and Peter Saville.
1. Kingsland workroom
I've just moved out of the bedroom! My husband has been very tolerant of my fabric hoarding and me trying to run a business out of our tiny bedroom. He says he misses the warmth my fabrics provided as they were floor to ceiling insulation and that the room feels somewhat empty now.
2. My fabric
My fabric shelf is a bit like a Sampler box of biscuits, except instead of sugar and spice it's made of portions of woven history. The problem with vintage fabric is that it's a finite resource and you can never have enough of it - much to the disdain of my accountant. But then, when has collecting anything ever been an entirely rational pastime?
3. Vivienne Westwood coat
I bought it in Liberties of London on sale. I love the weight of it and it reminds me of our first trip away from the kids when we went to Dusseldorf. Perfect for a European winter. Here I can get away with very little underneath it.
4. Allotments
I love my garden, it is spacious and lush. I think, however, I have spent too much time watching Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall sauntering around allotments. The whole communal gardening and sharing of produce appeals to me. I, of course, love The Good Life attire: gumboots and 70s frocks that one would have to wear while pottering among the shrubs.
5. My Elna sewing machine
A design icon. My mum bought hers 30-odd years ago and I have used it for at least the past 20. Mum used to sew everything; our clothes to our curtains. The machine has been serviced once when I reamed the living daylights out of her at Elam trying to sew leather punching bags. She is ever-faithful.
6. Peter Saville album covers
The New Order packaging was equally as good as the albums; as were Joy Division, Pulp and Suede covers. The thing about Peter Saville covers is they take you some place else. There is a kind of remoteness and sparseness that makes space for what's inside. That's the only thing I don't really like about iPods - music loses its packaging.
7. Auckland Public Libraries
It's the whole library experience. The searching, the quietness, the anticipation, the excitement when you find what you've been looking for, and especially when you discover the gems that you weren't. There is nothing more satisfying than lugging a pile of heavy books home - far more rewarding than Googling.
8. Farmgate wines
We have spent a lot of time in Hawkes Bay and I love Farmgate wines. The labels include photos of local artisan food producers - I particularly like the power stance of Noel Crawford, the saucier who is featured on their delicious gewurztraminer. Every time I have a glass it takes me back there.
9. The kitchen table
Our table is the hub of the house, we eat, fold washing, and do homework on it, but most of all it is a workbench for an array of art activities - cardboard AK47s, Star Wars masks, life-size Doctor Who Daleks, plasticine nativity scenes, zombie drawings, fairy collages, not to mention the daily Lego invasion. We love making stuff and messes together.
10. Prada bag
My vintage Prada bag from Scotties Recycle. I can't ever imagine owning a new one. I love the fact that this one has been pre-loved. I like to imagine who might have bought it, where and when. It is the perfect mummy bag, totally bottomless yet eternally stylish. Cadmium yellow leather - only in Italy.


text: Jean Fay named ESP of the Year Jean Fay, a kindergarten paraprofessional, has been named the MTA Education Support Professional of the Year. She received the award April 2 at the closing lunch of the annual ESP Conference, which drew more than 350 ESP members from across the state to Hyannis. Fay has been involved in her local association, the Amherst-Pelham Education Association, since 2001. A paraprofessional at Crocker Farm School in Amherst, she serves as Chair of Unit C (Paraprofessionals) on the APEA board and is also a member of the MTA Board of Directors. Fay is also a graduate of NEA's Leaders for Tomorrow program and an active participant in local and statewide political causes. Her ability to recognize opportunities for improvement coupled with her sincere desire to help whenever and wherever she is able has made a significant impact on the local and state levels. "What happens in the voting booth affects all of us," Fay told the ESP audience. "The votes of people who make $20,000 a year are just as powerful as the votes of CEOs who make millions." "I've had the good fortune to work with Jean Fay in kindergarten for three different years. She is, in a word, amazing. From the time she arrives till she tucks the last kindergartner into his backpack, Jean is busy taking care of the many details of running a kindergarten classroom," wrote kindergarten teach Jan Demers in her nomination letter. "She is the most organized and productive person I know. What makes Jean even more valuable is her ability to engage with the children. Over the years she has taken many courses and workshops to learn about best practices in literacy and math, which she applies effectively in her teaching. Plus, she is so warm and funny and genuine that children are naturally drawn to her and remain close to her as they move on through the grades. "There's another aspect of Jean Fay's work with children that is not as well known," Demers continued. "As she meets the buses each morning, she recognizes the child who is hungry or not dressed warmly enough or who doesn't have boots. Then she makes sure that these conditions are remedied." The ESP of the Year award was presented by ESP Committee Chair Donna Johnson, who is also president of the University Staff Association at UMass Amherst. Subscribe to MTA News Headlines by Email

An Adult Transitions course is offered exclusively for first-term adult students at Guilford College. The central focus of the course is to help our Greensboro, NC continuing education students ease into Guilford College, and come to terms with the issues and opportunities involved in life changes. Students read autobiographies and write autobiographical essays as a means of working through these transitions.
Free tutoring and other academic support services can be found in The Learning Commons (LC). Here, staff members and peers help students develop strategies for more effective and efficient learning across the curriculum and throughout their lives. The LC provides academic support for all students, including adult students, students with special needs, students on academic probation and those doing creative writing, advanced course work or senior theses.
Guilford is proud of its support services for students with learning differences. Disability Resources has a broad system of services that students find useful and encouraging. Our advisers work with students individually to help them carefully plan/balance their classes and schedules.
A study and activities lounge is provided for adult students in the lower level of Mary Hobbs Hall. Telephones for local calls, study space, wireless Internet access and computers for student use are also available here. Adjacent to the commuter lounge is a smaller, dedicated lounge for veterans.
The CCE Student Government Association (SGA) is composed entirely of CCE students and exists to serve the welfare and interests of adult students by working to establish a community that is supportive of the continuing education of adults. The SGA sponsors social and cultural events throughout the year.
The Career Development Center works with members of the Guilford College community to aid students and alumni in career preparation through self-exploration and major investigation and to coordinate internships and on-campus student employment. The Center works to connect each individual's academic knowledge and experiential learning in ways that lead to fulfilling employment. The department employs a holistic approach to career development by teaching career-related skills through classes, workshops and individual career counseling. The Center provides resume-building and graduate-school advising services.
We hope by allowing CCE involvement in all traditional student organizations we can create a more inclusive environment.
The Multicultural Education Department takes an inclusive approach as it strives to educate and celebrate diversity and multiculturalism on the campus of Guilford College. As our staff and students seek to build bridges, both on campus and in the greater Greensboro community, we invite students to be catalysts for positive change by visiting with us and participating in programming and workshops sponsored by the department.
Hege Library
includes a complete array of library services, and leads the Guilford College community in identifying, locating, evaluating and gaining access to the full range of information available. The library's promotion of information literacy advances our mission of developing critical thinkers and principled problem solvers among all our students, including those receiving a Greensboro continuing education at Guilford College. The library collection includes 240,000 books, periodicals, and non-print media, and the library provides study space for 400 users.
The Information Technology & Services (IT&S) Department helps new students, continuing students, staff and faculty navigate the many aspects of state-of the-art information technology on campus, including technical support, computer and software guidance, network/internet services, wireless access, multimedia setups and support, website development and support, and the computer labs.

Or are they replaced when it gets cold?
Or are they replaced when it gets cold?
all 503 of my SBB have slide in panels for sticky board testing. The hives that are wintered over here (3) have the slider installed to cut down on the cold drafts. These hives seem to winter over good on our cold. The coldest is normally -10 degrees F at the most only for 2 weeks. We have between 2 and 24 inches of snow on the ground with much blowing wind and snow.
Clinton Bemrose
just South of Lansing Michigan
Since MB is not here to say it;
Well, It depends...
On where you live. If you live down south you can leave them open all year around. I, we, being smack dab in... well you know, will install the tray and reduce the entrance to at least the four inch opening, and then maybe in the dead of winter, if it gets really cold, down to the smallest opening.
The tray in itself will add quite a bit of ventilation as it will provide a draft at both ends. It is such that the bees can not control the flow of air with propolis because it is under the screen.
But there are those even farther north, NY and PA, I think, that have good results keeping them open year round, but then they get more snow.
I do know when the snow piles up the bees are well insulated and the opening becomes less of an issue, cleansing flights the exception. Here where we get a lot of cold (-5 to -10) hard winds, and little snow, I would not want to risk it.
I am concerned about leaving the top entrance open with the SBB open at the same time, even when the tray is in place. I think that I will put a piece of masking tape on the top entrance and let the bees chew off as much as they want to control the opening size.
Chilly Willy
Clint, You send 500 of your hives down south for the winter?
What kind of stand do you keep your three remaining hives on? How much exposure do they allow to the air and wind?
I mean do they sit on a solid platform of cinder blocks like mine or on an open slatted palett, or a regular hive stand?
I don't know of anyone who takes them off. It's a question of closing them up. If yours aren't made to close up, and you want to, put some baling twine (anyone with horses has piles of it laying around) or some nylon string (something that resists rot) and staple it on the bottom in a "Z" formation. Then cut some cardbord or scrap plywood or whatever and slide it on top of the twine but under the bottom board and you've closed it up.
I have never wintered hives with them open. I don't know if I will or not this year.
I think last winter I could have, but some winters I think it would have been a bad idea.
Clint, You send 500 of your hives down south for the winter?
Yes all on pallets 4 hives per pallet
What kind of stand do you keep your three remaining hives on? How much exposure do they allow to the air and wind?
The hive stand I use here holds the hives 16 inches off the ground. It is all made from 2 X 4 stock painted and open on the bottom. The reason for the height is we have much trouble with skunks and other critters around here.
The complete hive stand is portable and can be moved with the hives or not. The hive stand is built long enough to place 2 hives side by side but I only place 1 hive on them so I can check these hives often and not have to place parts on the ground to lift them later on to the hive. Yes the hives are over 6 feet tall now with suppers.
Clinton Bemrose

Greetings clintonbemrose,
Do you enclose your stands?
Dave W
last year i left 3 hives with open sbb's,no bottom board,all 3 died out,but we did have a bad winter here,i don't think i'll try that experiment again.
Greetings clintonbemrose,
Do you enclose your stands?
No the hive stands are open on all sides and on the top. It looks like a stick frame that has not been filled in.
Clinton Bemrose
just South of Lansing Michigan
Mine do. They stay on and open. Our winter temps are mid to low teens for a week or so. The only thing I do is try to keep the wind from blowing freely under the hives.

I have received my beautiful knee armour from slave1pilot, and wonder what paint is best for the hyperfirm material. Does regular rattlecan paint crack when you bend it? It would be nice to be able to kneel without paint falling off. ;)
I am also considering buying an airbrush if that'll work better than rattlecans.
Any ideas of what is best for this material?

Despite the Night No. 2, 1991
Roland Poulin
Canadian, 1940
charcoal, graphite, pastel, oil, wax, paper collage on wove paper
145.5 x 127 cm
Purchased 1992
National Gallery of Canada (no. 36666)
distinguished from "Malgré la nuit no 3" by the reddish colouration of the rectangle "leg" form.
In Poulin's ongoing exploration of the metaphors of death, two massive and sombre, coffin-like forms evoke the sculptural landscape of a cemetery. "Quand on se promène dans un cimetière, parmi les tombes, on sent que l'espace est chargé. Quelque chose est là, presque visible, qui génère un sentiment de plénitude. » Poulin's drawings and sculptures are charged with a quality of evocation, space is energized. Forms slide or fall in the most precariously balanced relations, denying their apparent weight. Yet the artist's evident interest in texture – through rubbing, the use of wax, graphite, charcoal and oil paint and subtle areas of colour – bring the viewer into an intimate proximity with the drawings' form and surface.

Is this new vented suit the "Ultra Breeze", or is it a Knock-off? They say "breeze" in the product description.
Is this new vented suit the "Ultra Breeze", or is it a Knock-off? They say "breeze" in the product description.
9th year beekeeper, about 20 hives.
Can't really tell from the photo's. You could call and ask them. I've found Mann Lake to be very honest. It's only a matter of time before someone copies Ultrabreeze anyway.
Looks like a copy.
Dan Hayden 5 Years. 10 hives. Tx Free. USDA Zone 5b.
Can't tell either, but it sure looks the same. I own an Ultrabreeze and LOVE it. Mann Lake suits are a whole lot cheaper. If I were buying a new suit this year, it would be one of the "breeze" suits.
Jackson, MO
Beekeeping With Twenty-five Hives: https://www.createspace.com/4152725
It looks exactly like my breathable from pigeon mountain trading company, I think I will call them to see if thats where they are getting them, when I feel a little better, got the flu now. The one I have from PMTC is top notch and Mann lake sells top top stuff I would go for it if I didn't already have one. Finaly lower priced breathables!
All beekeepers can agree on one thing, and that one thing is, that all beekeepers can't agree on one thing.
Someone please buy one and report back!
Charlie B, why don't you buy one and try it? I am sure you could return it if you don't like it. Go to pigeon mountain trading company and look at thiers, I am almost positive it is the same suit. And they garanty satisfaction or 100% refund. I bought one of thiers for$150 and love it, no one on here trusted them, I told everyone to try it. Finally one guy did and he loves his also and posted about it.US fabrics owns P.M.T.C. that is why the price is cheaper than ultrabreeze or golden bee. You have to look at the top left corner where the extractors are listed they are listed as breathables. They have regular suits listed down below it throws most people off. Pigeon mountain was good to deal with and Mann Lake can't be beat for customer service.
All beekeepers can agree on one thing, and that one thing is, that all beekeepers can't agree on one thing.
I already have an Ultrabreeze jacket but I may need another suit for my stepson. I don't want to pay another $165 so I'm anxious to see if this one from Mann Lake is good. I'll call them.
Was thinking about getting one myself. Looked at Mann Lakes and Pigeon Mtn. Mann Lakes looks like it is a loose knit fabric sandwiched between mesh netting. PM looks like three layers of mesh and looks more "breezy to me. The three layers is what keeps the stings away from your skin. Wouldn't say it was sting proof, but appears it will allow more air to get to you. I bought the PM jacket. Was a couple more dollars than ML only because Mann Lake was shipping for free. ML was out of stock anyway
Ok, ok I broke down and bought the Mann Lake vented jacket. I needed and extra one for relatives and friends. The rep at ML couldn't tell me what vendor they're getting them from but she didn't think is was Ultra Breeze. She offered to put me on hold and find out but I declined to wait.
It's interesting that she told me they haven't even received their first batch to sell yet because the vendor was still filling their order and they should be in today to sell. She said I should get mine in 7 days so I'll report back.
Been a week and just got notification of shipment. Wonder if it is the same suit, same supplier.??
Let me know when you get yours in.
okie dokie
if you look in the catalog, things made in usa say made in usa, the vented suit doesn't say made in usa. who ever copied it, even put in metal zippers like the original.
mike syracuse ny
Whatever you subsidize you get more of. Ronald Reagan
Charlie B,
Got mine today. Made in India. Looks like a quality garment though. It appears IMO, to be the same as Mann Lake. Two layers of mesh, with a synthetic 1/8 inch mesh sandwiched. Got the fence hood. Zippers are brass and are tucked in nice for a good seal at the neck. Put some beeswax on the zippers. Work better now. Plan on using it this afternoon. Will check the reach and sleeve, arm pit thing
I can't wait to hear the review. My youngest son is very interested in beekeeping so I need to get him a suit. Let me know how it works loading and unloading hives by hand! Hehehe!
Here goes,
I feel like I got my monies worth. The level of protection and the air flow through the suit was very good. Today here was 70 with 15 to 20 mph gusts. I was very comfortable. To predict the summer, I think it will still be hot,,,duh, and unless a breeze is blowing, the suit will only mildly show you comfort. But, weigh that against the protection level, and all is right with the world. Before, I wore veil and hat with gloved sleeves to the elbows and a short sleeved shirt. The bees seemed to find the flesh where the short sleeves met the meat. I took stings to the stomach as it protrudes a little to non craft beer I take stings to the thighs and other areas below the waist when the cloth is tight against the body. The leather gloves keep the sting pheromone around I thinks so the need to be washed as needed.
What does this jacket do for me. It is cooler. I was in a T shirt. The protection level is excellent. I won't say impenetrable. I don't know. Close to it. It allows me to wear nitrile gloves which I can dispose of and the sting pheromone issue is gone. I really believe it makes a difference in the reaction of the bees. The wrist part of the jacket has an elastic tab that you put your thumb in. Pretty much keeps the wrist from being exposed. Did me anyway. I didn't do any overhead reaching but to defeat that I would think you would have to get a suit so over sized it would not be comfortable to work with. The zippers are stiff. I put bees wax on them and it is improved. They look quality. I think they will be better as they break in. I had to be conscious of the fence style veil. It wanted to ride on my nose. Disaster waiting to happen. Minor problem solved wearing a ball cap.
Thumbs up from me.
Ok, thanks Rick. I'll let you know about the ML vented jacket as soon as I get it. ML called me today and told me it will be in next Wednesday.

Connecticut's economic roller-coaster ride after the Great Recession took a dip today with a jobs report that indicated the state's employment totals fell by 6,000 in August.
Today's report followed buoyant numbers released for July that showed a surge of 11,500 jobs in the first full month of summer, a gain that was revised down in the latest report to 9,600.
The Norwich-New London region saw a decline of 200 jobs between July and August, and the area has lost 1,600 positions over the past year, according to numbers released today by the state Department of Labor. That's the worst year-over-year record of any major labor market in Connecticut.
Analysts said August's employment slump had been expected. The late ending of the school year had artificially inflated the number of local government jobs reported in July, resulting in a recorded decrease of 7,500 jobs in that category last month.
"Connecticut continued to see growth in the private sector," said Andy Condon, director of the Labor Department's Office of Research, in a statement. "Connecticut's job growth pace appears to have picked up this year."
Statewide, the private sector added 2,300 jobs in August. The state's unemployment rate didn't budget, however, staying the course at 8.1 percent.
But the average pace of job growth so far this year is nearly double the increases seen in 2012. According to state figures, jobs have been rising by an average of nearly 1,800 a month so far this year, compared with 938 jobs a month last year.
Over the past year, the state has gained 15,400 jobs. Still, the pace of growth, at 0.6 percent, is well below the national 1.6 percent rate of job recovery.
"In effect, our labor market is now growing at less than half the national average," said Don Klepper-Smith, an economist with New Haven-based DataCore Partners, in a note to clients.
Klepper-Smith pointed out that Connecticut has recovered slightly more than half of the jobs lost during the Great Recession, far below the national recovery rate of 78 percent.
"We're still scheduled to see full job recovery in Connecticut sometime around late 2015, early 2016," he added.
Klepper-Smith predicted Connecticut's economy would wind up recording growth in the 1 percent to 1.5 percent range next year, the highest increase since 2007.
For now, however, Connecticut's economy is essentially flat, with small declines in gross domestic product over the previous two years acting as a counterweight to a fractional gain so far this year, Klepper-Smith said.
"There appears to be very little likelihood that we'll be seeing strong growth anytime soon," he said.

'An ingenious hack' – FF Chartwell wins again!
FF Chartwell, by Travis Kochel truly is on a winning streak at the moment.
Following the recent win at the Information is Beautiful Awards in September, on Tuesday evening Fast Company announced the 11 winners of its inaugural Innovation by Design Awards.
With over 1,700 entries, 56 finalists and an all-star judge list that included the likes of David Butler, Nicholas Felton, and Lisa Strausfeld, we were over the moon to hear that FF Chartwell had won the Innovation by Design prize for 2-D Design.
Judge and Facebook product designer Nicholas Felton said, "FF Chartwell is an ingenious hack. This easy-to-use tool could disrupt all manner of chart-making programs, thanks to a clever font system that turns chains of numbers into elegant charts. Tweaking a graph is as simple as changing a number."
In our category we were up against the likes of NASA and the award-winning design and technology studio Stamen, so we are absolutely delighted to have won. Well done, Travis and the FontFont Type Team!
About FF Chartwell

They're doing an MRI on RG3's knee tonight, same day. It's that urgent for them. It's a huge blow to the Redskins option offense if RG3 isn't even close to 100% either way.
My point exactly. The Redskins are good this year mainly because of Shanahan and secondarily because of Griffin, not the other way around.
Last edited by BigBlueAllDay; 12-09-2012 at 09:23 PM.
We'll likely never know since I don;t think Griffin is hurt at all, but I do not believe that Griffin getting hurt changes all that much about the Redskins this year. I think they'd pretty much be where they are regardless.

Questions LGBT People (and Everyone Else) Ought to Ask Their Doctors
April 18, 2013
What should lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people ask their medical providers before receiving tests or treatments of any kind?
Earlier this year, APICHA Community Health Center -- a community-based provider of quality health care, HIV prevention and education to communities of color, LGBT and low-income people in New York City -- hosted a workshop exploring this question. Entitled "10 Things LGBT People Need to Discuss With Their Health Care Providers," the workshop was part of APICHA's ongoing Project Connect program of community conversations. Delivering the presentation to a diverse audience from across the LGBT spectrum was Dr. Robert Murayama, APICHA's chief medical officer.
The workshop was broken down by population, though many of the issues raised cut across the entire LGBT community. For instance, the list of questions below is a great model for any LGBT person -- any person, in fact -- who wants to walk away fully informed from a conversation with their provider about prescriptions or procedures.
For more information about key points to discuss with health care providers, read Part One of this informative report.
If you are about to receive a test, make sure to ask:
- What will I know after the test?
- How will I find out the results?
- How long will it take for me to know the results?
- What does the test involve?
- Do I need to prepare ahead of time for the test (by not eating, drinking a certain amount of water, etc.)?
If you are about to enter treatment for a condition, make sure to ask:
- How will this condition be managed?
- What may have caused this condition?
- Will it be permanent?
- What can I do to learn more about my condition?
- How much will treatment cost?
- Will my insurance cover it?
If you are being prescribed medications, make sure to ask:
- What are the side effects?
- What if I miss a dose?
- Is there a generic version available?
Learn more about APICHA Community Health Center on its website, or follow APICHA on Twitter @apichahealth.

Modern forms of promotion like online advertising have gained a lot of popularity over the past few years. The rise of such innovative opportunities, however, has in no end brought the demise of traditional promotional methods.
Outdoor advertising is still one of the best ways to reach a large audience. This type of marketing comes with a range of additional advantages. Whether you choose billboards, street furniture branding or guerilla advertising, these approaches will help you meet a range of promotional goals.
Different Possibilities
Most people think about billboards when it comes to outdoor advertising but there are many other opportunities.Using branded canopy and banners is just one of the possibilities.
You can do outdoor advertising through posters, bus signs, store branding and a range of additional and innovative marketing possibilities. Branding a bench in the park, for example, is an inexpensive and highly creative type of outdoor advertising.
Whether you want to increase event attendance or you are trying to introduce a new product range, there is at least one outdoor advertising possibility that will be right.
Target Audience
No other promotional method can guarantee the same level of exposure as outdoor advertising.
Choosing a high-traffic area and placing your marketing materials there will enable a huge group of people to learn more about your brand, your products and services. All you need to do is think about the best part of town for the delivery of your commercial message.
Some worry that outdoor advertising lacks the targeting that other channels are capable of delivering. This is not the case. Careful placement can help you reach the target audience you are interested in. If you want to reach young parents, you should place a billboard or a bus stop sign next to a school or a kindergarten.
Outdoor advertising is much more affordable than other forms of traditional marketing. It is less pricey than TV promotion, though it has the power to reach the same large audience.
Each type of outdoor advertising comes with its specific cost. Some methods tend to be more expensive, while other opportunities could be nearly free of charge to execute. Depending on the goal of the campaign and the type of audience you are trying to reach, you will get to choose the promotional approach that will be right for your budget and that will help you accomplish your goal.
Constant Exposure
The cost-effectiveness of outdoor advertising increases further because of the exposure it is capable of guaranteeing.
Your ad will be displayed 24 hours per day, seven days per week. No television channel or radio station can provide the same level of exposure. The outdoor ads are also capable of delivering repeated exposure – your message will be seen time and time again. This is great opportunity for creating brand awareness and introducing your identity.
Choosing outdoor campaigns for some of your marketing goals like the chance to increase event attendance will help you enjoy great results. This type of marketing is still capable of delivering amazing benefits that no other promotional method is capable of generating. Thinking about the strategy and the creative approach in advance will help you make the most of such a lucrative opportunity.

Cadillac or competing brand model ? Why ? Discussion, New 2007 Imperial in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; He He He, so...you know about the ole blend door, do ya? I actually kept my 98 MK8 FIVE years. ...
Re: New 2007 Imperial
He He He, so...you know about the ole blend door, do ya?
I actually kept my 98 MK8 FIVE years. During that tme, I averaged a
serious problem every 6 weeks. I kept it that long as I was keeping
a log of the world's worse luxury car. Everything that could, went
wrong. It had every option, and was an end-of-the -run "Collector's~Edition" ~~ one of 1265 (I think) it was # 903. Pearl White with tan interior. ONLY reason I bought another Lincoln was the terrific care my dealer took of me, with free loaners of Town Cars, and alot of other perks.
Now, I've had the TC for 2 years & 9 months, and have yet to have "Problem #1" ~ So, I am happy with it. I think that the T.C. competes with the DeVillle and (2006) DTS at Cadillac, for the same buyer.
Nice Cutlass, put some red-line tires on her.
Re: New 2007 Imperial
Actually, since I snapped the Cutlass pics, I've put on some nice whitewalls.
It made a huge difference in the car's appearance ... I even had it featured in a major Toronto daily paper. There's something to be said for exiting a turn with rwd, top down, and gunning that rocket 350.
Its the only car I've owned that goes up in value ... I have to get her appraised every 5 years for collector's insurance.
Re: New 2007 Imperial
Needs RWL tires IMO. I LOVE those old Cutlass's!!

Re: New 2007 Imperial
1. The HID headlights blow out, because of an ill-installed exterior headlight cover, allowing moisture in along with dampness, that finds its way to the socket . Thusly, they blow. Not bad under OEM warrantee, as I was, but $250.00 apice, afterwards.
2. The driver's side bucket seat is known to suddenly, without warning, nor provocation, RRRRrrrrip right thru the floor pan, providing the driver with "instant recliner" option. It order to repair, the car goes on lift, and needs steel plates welded BOTH to the underside of the chassis AND under the carpet, on the inside, because the bolt causes the floor pan to "mushroom".
3. The LED crystal in the wall to wall taillamps goes limpy (light-to dark-to normal-to light- to dark) sections. EXPENSIVE !
4. AM Radio has incurable terribble horrible constant static. Useless.
5. Actually eats up brake rotors every 3,000 miles. I had 18,000 miles when I sold it @ 5 years of age and was on set # 6 of front brake rotors.
6. Steering Wheel ShAkE ! Going down looong hills, and using the required braking, - about 1/2 down steering wheel begin JuMpInG all over the place, with Parkinson's decease.
7. Rear Window. The rear window has an exterior moulding (black) that goes 360 degrees, all around the perimeter of the glass. After 3-4 years in the sunshine, the cold and the climaticx changes, said moulding get lumpy wavey l
un un nu and it cannot be replaced use the electric rear window defroster glass window is also replaced $ 1,200.00 for a nice new moulding.
8. Then, there's the old blend door on the Air Conditioning. Of the 5 summers I had the car, 4 of them it suddenly began blowing heat on me in July / August. Under warrantee the first 3 years, it cost me $ 1,000 to "fix" the 4th year.
9. Fuel Release button on driver's side lower door panel (you push it & the fuel door releases) but.... push just slightly TOO hard and the little button falls down doen down into the lower door panel. Removing door panel is then necessary to re-fuel.
10. Ash Tray. I don't smoke in any car, ever, but I did fill it with hard candy for "dry mouth" syndrome. You push a spot on the top cover door and she 1st dips downward, and then opens up. EXCEPT for when she slightly dips downward and the thin plastic mechanism breaks, the the ash tray cover falls down INTO the compartment. The Fix? An entire new center console ($1,475.00), as it's NON-fixable, but you will get a new one WITH the new console.
Other than that, they are fine

Sorry about the many typos, but the telephone has been ringing every 10 minutes tonight.....I do NOT miss my Mark 8 even one little bit
Re: New 2007 Imperial
Well im not gonna think of all Mark VIII's as a "stinking pile of dogshit" but I will take your advice into consideration...I'm positive there are many Mark VIII owners out there that are ecstatic with their cars, and have never had a bad experience with them, but I think you are just unlucky with yours. Like my deVille leaks coolant through the block, now I know that this was caused due to neglect of the previous owners, and I dont think all 4.9's will leak coolant, its just something to keep in mind

Re: New 2007 ImperialOriginally Posted by Sandy
Hmm. I would rank it above Art & Science Cadillac but for a new car today I'd still buy either the Lincoln Town Car L (if that's still made since it's the only properly long car out there) or the Jag XJ8 for classic appearance.
I do think it looks awfully short and psuedo-Rolls.
I ditto whoever said above that they wished GM had Chrysler's balls though.
Re: New 2007 Imperial
My son had a MKVIII and the car was actually very reliable. Sandy, your list DID ring a few bells but, after knowing several Lincoln/Cadillac owners, I can tell you that the grass IS NOT greener on either side. For every sad story from a MKVIII owner, there's one from a Seville/Eldo owner. IMO, overall, those cars are close to even as far as headaches and heartburn inducing problems but at least the MKVIII has that wonderful engine! Styling is subjective of course but for my money, I like the looks of the MKVIII better than a Seville/Eldo.

Re: New 2007 Imperialbut at least the MKVIII has that wonderful engine!
The Ford engine used in Lincolns is easy to mod though, just like the Chevy engine in your Cadillac. Most people with these cars don't mod them, but for those that do, having a less unique engine pays off.
Re: New 2007 Imperial
Sandy, count yourself lucky with your MkVIII ownership.
What, no tranny or air suspension woes?
I always felt my 89 LSC looked far tougher than the next generation marks, which definitely had a more feminine look.
I guess a used Eldorado makes more sense from a mechanical perspective.
Re: New 2007 Imperial
I think you can put the springs or coils from the Thunderbirds onto the Mark VIII's

text: Based on recent actions by the California Department of Justice (DOJ), one might think California Attorney General, Kamala Harris, doesn't like the idea of federal law enforcement officers possessing firearms within "her State." First, the DOJ changed its previous policy of including federal officers among those who can buy or receive handguns that are not listed on the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale from licensed firearm dealers, so that now they may not. Although that policy change is a correct interpretation of the law, as we recently explained, now the DOJ is curiously hesitant to reevaluate its incorrect policy that retired federal officers are not entitled to exemption from California's concealed carry laws under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act ("LEOSA").

Location: The civil parish of Caniço stands out for being a tourism destination by excellence, at Caniço de Baixo. It is located close to Funchal. Washed by the sea, Caniço is one of the most beautiful parishes on Madeira Island. Known for its mild temperatures, Caniço is sough by many people both during the summer and the winter. Caniço is valued as a place of entertainment, as well as of relaxation. The partial Natural Reserve of Garajau, Portugal's only exclusive sea reserve, created in 1986, is integrated in Caniço. Due to the biologic diversity and extraordinary clearness of the water, it offers unique conditions for diving, enabling you to contact with mantas and large harmless fish. Together with Funchal and Machico, Caniço constituted one of the first settlements on the Island. From this settlement, people soon started cultivating the land.

This was our first time of experience to rent an apartment for vacation. It was great ! The apartment was modern, a lot of space and a really nice view.
We definitely can recommend to anyone who is seeking for a quiet place to live.
From there you could travel around easily by car. Madeira was worth to visit and great for hiking. Or just enjoying the landscape.
We enjoyed our stay in this appartment very much. It's huge and very well equipped. We espicially enjoyed the wonderful view from the terrasse, and the good music equipment, where we just connected via Bluetooth and played spotify via our mobiles/wifi. We can only recommend the appartment to others and would like to get back - hopefully two weeks :-)
This is really a lovely appartment with an amazing sea view. The appartment has more then sufficient room and is well equiped with all you need. We really enjoyed our holiday.
Great exclusive but friendly apartament with a high-class facilities. Amazing view from the balcony to the ocean and mountains. Especially perfect for people who would like to spend calm, relaxing and reflective time on Madeira :)
Excellent location & starting point to explore the island.
Very clean and well equiped apartment. Beautiful view to the ocean from the balcony. Close to supermarket, bakery and bars. Drive to the beach is 10 min. aways or spectacular trip with the teleférico to reach the ocean. Any request/problem is immediately solved by Cécilia. We could even stay on the day we left till 4.00 pm in the apartment.
Would HIGHLY recommend this place.
Home away from home. We love this place and the service is perfect.
Advice: Bring your own internet-TV, as the TV-SKY-box has no Portuguese channels - only UK-based stuff.
We hope to be back - soon !!!
Cozy and tastefully decorated apartment where you can feel like at home
Creatively decorated flat with a breathtaking view.
Great location, great vacation!
The terrace overlooks the sea and the swimming pool at the same time, amazing!

Gettin' kind of antsy? Tired of those midwinter blahs? Ready for the antidote and maybe a taste of spring? It's Mardi Gras time.
While Greater New Haven is a solid 1,385 miles -- and a 22�-hour-car ride -- from New Orleans, some of Louisiana's absolute best musicians are a lot closer than that during the mad rush to Fat Tuesday.
Many of them, as it turns out, come from the more rural Cajun and Creole environs of Lafayette, La., with the music tending more toward Cajun and zydeco than Second Line.
-On Friday at 8 p.m., none other than Buckwheat Zydeco -- led by Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural, among the several best-in-the-world zydeco and Cajun accordion players playing in the area over the next few days -- comes in for the Buckwheat Zydeco Mardi Gras Party at Infinity Hall in Norfolk, www.infinityhall.com. Tickets are $35 and $55.
-As usual, the biggest Yankee Mardi Gras party of them all will be the annual Cajun & Zydeco Mardi Gras Ball in neighboring Rhode Island on Saturday, this year celebrating its 20th anniversary at the Rhodes on the Pawtuxet ballroom, 60 Rhodes Place, Cranston, R.I. The ball, which begins at 5 p.m. and runs until midnight, is the most authentic Mardi Gras celebration in New England.
It features loads of authentic Louisiana talent, including two 2012 Grammy nominees in CJ Chenier & the Red Hot Louisiana Band and Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, plus The Pine Leaf Boys, Preston Frank, Ed Poullard & the Big Daddy Zydeco Band and The Hot Tamale Brass Band. Chenier, Riley and Frank all are among Louisiana's top accordion players.
The ball also features cash bars and plenty of authentic Cajun and Creole food, including Shrimp Etouffe, Creole-style Chicken & Jambalaya, New Orleans fried shrimp and pecan bourbon pie. Tickets are $35 in advance and $45 at the door. Info at www.mardigrasri.com. Call 401-783-3926.
-On the way to or from the ball, the Knickerbocker Cafe in Westerly, R.I., also will have a Mardi Gras celebration, featuring former Roomful of Blues sax player Greg Piccolo & the Mardi Gras Expansion Pac. Tickets for the 9 p.m. show are $15 in advance or $17 at the door. Go to www.theknickerbockercafe.com or call 401-315-5070.
-Closer to home, Washboard Slim & The Blue Lights will throw a bit of a hoedown at the Down Home Mardi Gras Celebration at The Outer Space in Hamden at 8 p.m. Saturday, featuring free Mardi Gras beads and masks at the door -- and beer specials featuring Dixie Brewing Blackened Voodoo Lager. Admission is $10. Info at www.theouterspace.net.
-The Black Rock section of Bridgeport, meanwhile, will provide the setting for the seventh annual BlackRock Rocks Mardi Gras Celebration, which has raised more than $15,000 for various charitable causes in years past. The party will start Saturday afternoon and go well into the night -- featuring more than a dozen bands playing in several locations, including Acoustic Cafe and Neutral Ground, both on Fairfield Avenue in Bridgeport.
They'll include Nigel Hall of The Royal Family and The AB, featuring members of the Sam Kininger Band, plus Tim & Eric of The Alternate Routes performing as Grit Gamble and the Pandemonium.
Also appearing will be The Primate Fiasco, Renard Boissiere, The Darian Cunning Band, Cosmic Jibaros, Twiddle, I Anbassa, PJ Pacifico, Big Moon, Steve DeTroy Trio, John Torres Band, Tom Crowley and the Speakers and Psychedelphia.
Also appearing will be Ada Pasternak, Dr. Caterwauls Cadre of Clairvoyant Claptraps, Graylight Campfire, HOE, String Fingers, Dan Labich, Iron Chicken Foot, Separate Incidents and the debut of Symphonic Bodega!
Info at www.blackrockrocks.com.
-Tuesday -- Fat Tuesday -- will feature at least three events, including the New Haven Free Public Library's annual Mardi Gras celebration and fundraiser, this year celebrating the library's 125th birthday. Mardi Gras 125 festivities, featuring the Funky Butt Jazz Band, begin at 5:30 p.m. at 133 Elm St. Admission starts at $75. Info at www.nhfplfoundation.org/wysiwg/index.htm.
-Also on Tuesday, Creative Cooking New Orleans Restaurant in Westbrook, www.creativecooking.cc, will have a special Fat Tuesday evening featuring music and a full, authentic New Orleans menu.
-Black-Eyed Sally's in Hartford also will hold its annual all-day Fat Tuesday celebration, featuring and all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, drink specials and entertainment by River City Slim & the Zydeco Hogs, along with stilt-walkers, face painting and other fun.
