Heart disease common among diabetics
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - November is Diabetes Awareness Month, but did you know for diabetics it could be their heart that's most dangerous to them?
It was a walk like any other walk for Robin Brown, until she noticed something strange. "I didn't have chest pain, no jaw pain, my elbows hurt; both of my elbows, and they would ache really bad," Brown told News 5 on Monday.
That red flag was a year ago while Brown was on vacation. About a month later symptoms got worse, and Brown found herself in the emergency room, then in the cath lab getting a stent for heart problems. "I had numerous blockages," Brown said.
But it was another test that revealed a new health hurdle: diabetes. "When my AIC levels came back, [the doctor] said evidently I had had it a while and didn't know it," Brown explained.
Dr. Scott Jay with Wellmont's CVA Heart Institute told us the link between diabetes and heart disease isn't a good one. "Diabetes increases your risk of heart disease. So, it's one of the accelerators. It's one of the risk factors," said Dr. Jay.
In fact, the American Heart Association reports diabetics are two to four times more likely to have heart disease than people without diabetes, and nearly two-thirds of people with diabetes will die from cardiovascular disease.
"We can treat their infections. They can go on dialysis, we can do these other things, but when it comes to cause of death, it's cardiovascular disease," Dr. Jay said.
When it comes to prevention for both diseases, Dr. Jay told us it's all about lifestyle choices like exercising and eating right.
That's something Brown is now taking to heart. "I've lost 65 pounds in the process which helps tremendously. It takes a lot of stress off your heart," Brown said. "I eat very little salt."
It takes a lot of willpower and work, but Brown said she's got a lot more living to do.
"I have two grown daughters, and I'm not ready to give up," said Brown.
Dr. Jay added that diabetic patients could have different symptoms for heart disease than non-diabetic patients, or they may have no apparent symptoms at all.
That's why testing and talking with your doctor can help determine how healthy your heart is.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hello there,
I love your recipe for tarte tatin, but if I make it in a steel frying pan like you do in your demonstration, the apples go a most unappetizing grey-green colour. Is there any way to stop that?
Many thanks,

Re: Ask me a cooking question
How can I make pear sorbet? I had it on holiday once years ago and I loved it. I can't find it anywhere in the UK though, and recipes all seem to call for icecream makers, which I don't have.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
I bought some nduja by the 100gm, (not in its skin), and I've had it in a tub in the fridge for about 5 or six months now. I thought of it as a spice paste and assumed it would be fine to keep for a good while, but now I know it has pork in it I'm unsure about its keeping qualities. Can someone tell me just how long it will last in the fridge this way.

WWD Beauty Biz - Growing pains: two guys go for broke
A dollar and a dream may be all it takes to win the lottery, but striking it rich as a successful beauty entrepreneur takes vision, commitment and a considerably larger cash investment. In October of 2002, Matthew Malin, 36, a former retail and beauty industry executive, and Andrew Goetz, 41, a marketing director for the furniture and design company Vitra, came up with an idea they hope is a winning formula. The two, partners in life as well as business, decided to create Malin + Goetz, a skin, hair and body care brand with a sophisticated, minimalist design ethos and a unisex positioning. Within weeks they had a business plan (calling for both a product line and flagship boutique) and their first big decision under their belt (to work with a formulator, and own their own formulas, rather than with a manufacturer). By January, the duo had hired a graphic design company, 2x4, and were fleshing out the infrastructure of their new brand. All systems were go, with estimated start-up costs of $125,000 covered by the couple and investments from their families. A store location was found-177 Seventh Ave. in New York's Chelsea neighborhood-and an 11-item product lineup created. The launch was set for early October 2003. Of course, even the best-laid plans go awry. Construction delays plagued the store and costs rose, totaling about $200,000 overall. Still, though the launch was pushed back to February, the duo remains optimistic of hitting their first-year goal of 30 doors and a wholesale volume of $1.5 million. Here, their day-by-day account of what it takes to get a new beauty business off the ground.
MONDAY, JUNE 2? Working with formulator on Face Moisturizer. We've been playing around with the amount of fatty acids and fatty alcohols. We want it to be moisturizing yet quickly absorbent and with a luxurious viscosity between lotion and cream.
TUESDAY, JUNE 3? First meeting with architect Craig Konyk. Craig forwarded an amazing proposal with drawings and seems excited about our project.
MONDAY, JUNE 9? Received tubes from our supplier in California. To tube or not to tube, that is the question. Almost every industry professional recommends that a small start-up not do tubes, unless you're willing to produce very large quantities with a tube "specialist." Without the right equipment, filling and sealing the tubes is labor intensive, detail oriented and expensive. We love the look and convenience of tubes for our customer and decide to go for it after months of deliberation.
MONDAY, JUNE 16? Met with a manufacturer in Connecticut. The facilities are so clean and well organized. Unfortunately, I don't think that we'll be able to meet the minimum run requirements. It would cost two-thirds of our entire budget for the project. Reviewed the guidelines for the European Union regulations. We had previously interviewed a consultant to work with us on this matter, but decided we should do it ourselves.
MONDAY, JUNE 23? Met with Jackie, a writer and friend who has done some brochure editing for us. We've reduced the amount of copy from two full pages to three paragraphs, but we can't agree on the exact wording. Hopefully Jackie can solve the problem.
TUESDAY, JUNE 24? Reviewed with 2x4 the graphic printing area of the tubes. Must allow for the crimped area at the end of tube, which includes an eye-mark for sealing. Consequently, we may need to remove some text from the Shave Cream and Lip Moisturizer-after months spent getting it perfect.
THURSDAY, JUNE 26? Had conference call with manufacturer in Connecticut, who gave us insight into the silk-screening process versus the printing and application of labels. There is a variance for label printing and application at top and bottom that must be considered. Since our labels are text-intensive, must consider both aesthetics and practicality.
TUESDAY, JULY 1? Meeting with Craig's potential contractor. Having him buy into the idea will solidify the deal and make it financially feasible for Craig. Keeping our fingers crossed that it works out.
FRIDAY, JULY 11? Junior, our French bulldog, is having a back problem. Could be very serious. Dr. Kantor suggests considering back surgery, but, in the meantime, he will get steroids.
MONDAY, JULY 14? Friend and former boss, Maria LoBello (oversees the Co-Ops at Barneys), sees the product. Practice pitch on her. She offers product and merchandising advice. Very helpful.
MONDAY, JULY 21? First meeting with Barneys. Bettina O'Neill is very interested, thinks it looks fantastic. Gave us product feedback and suggests we start working on an eye cream. Meeting went well.
WEDNESDAY, AUG. 6? Second meeting with Barneys. Positive, but still discussing the possibilities, details and timing. Refinanced mortgage. Since rates are so low, we figured we should put the extra $200 a month back into the business.
TUESDAY, AUG. 12? It's final. We are working with Craig and his contractor, Simon! We have to apply for a work permit to begin construction on the store.
FRIDAY, SEPT. 5? Still haven't confirmed a manufacturer. We've spoken with five different companies. This search has become one of the most difficult aspects of the business.
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 10? Met with 2x4 to finalize stickers, pharmacy bag and custom shopping bag. Still deciding on stock shopping bags, ribbon and boxes (mostly due to cost). Will most likely use a stock company-much less expensive. Reviewed initial Web site design. Looks fab! Need to integrate info and hire IT to develop all computer/phone related for office/store/POS/Internet.
Met with the co-op board in the evening. Board has agreed (yes!) to our requests to change the storefront. Very stressful since it will make a major difference to the aesthetic of the store. Our proposal, which they agreed to, was to upgrade the storefront. This is under the condition that the facade be maintained or upgraded as well.
FRIDAY, SEPT. 12? Review construction pricing with Craig's contractor-$20K over budget! Discussed options to bring down price, but biggest expense and most important design concept is the interior of the store. We plan to fabricate it entirely from white Corian. So cool! Need to set up meeting with Dupont Corian about possible partnership.
THURSDAY, SEPT. 18? Need to finalize the electrical for the store. Our neighbor, who also rented our space, had pumped in electricity from his current store next door. Consequently, there's no electricity hooked up for our store. This will be an additional expense and time, since Con Ed needs to install a meter. The contractor is estimating $2,000!
MONDAY, SEPT. 22? Our architect spoke to the expeditor for our building permit. After waiting over one month, there is another delay. Because there is a subway underground, the Transit Authority must sign off on our foundation. This comes after two weeks of waiting for the building department and then two more weeks for an unexpected asbestos inspection. Could take two more weeks.
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 24? 2x4 to release the custom stock bag to the printer today! Need to decide on minimums-the more we produce the less cost per bag (but the start-up costs rise). Can start working on a sticker, which we've decided to do with custom gift boxes. They are so beautiful, we love them!
THURSDAY, SEPT. 25?Met with Chung the contractor and his electrician, who said it would cost us an additional $4,000 to get electricity in the store so that we can begin demolition. Is he crazy?
FRIDAY, SEPT. 26? Barry, our electrician, confirms that Chung's electrician is, in fact, insane. Barry can do the job for $400.
MONDAY, SEPT. 29? Decided on a manufacturer in California! Since it's almost OCT. we really have to get moving.
TUESDAY, OCT. 6? Heading to the 'office" (Starbucks, 177 Eighth Ave.), when the bookkeeper recommended by 2x4 calls to cancel due to a dental emergency. She left a message and requested rescheduling. I returned her message, wishing her well and agreeing to reschedule. Never heard from her again... In the afternoon, met with Dave, a bookkeeper recommended by friends at Red Flower. When he heard that we were looking for a bookkeeper, he immediately called and scheduled an appointment. Dave also lives in the neighborhood and frequents my Starbucks. We even recognized each other! We hire Dave.
TUESDAY, OCT. 7? Major meeting with Barneys. They are now interested in pursuing our originally suggested strategy of putting the products both in the men's and women's departments in all stores. This would be fantastic.
FRIDAY, OCT. 10? Morning dentist appointment. Another huge issue in starting our business was my devoting 100 percent of my time to M+G, giving up a full-time position, income AND benefits. Luckily, we were able to work something out through Andrew's employer's insurance (medical and dental). Otherwise, it would be an awful expense for insurance! Maintenance and prevention is our motto.
SATURDAY & SUNDAY, OCT. 11 & 12? Cold Spring, N.Y. Thank God we got away for some rest. I found three ticks on Junior, eight ticks on Bob (our English bulldog) and one on myself! Will need to get a Lyme disease test. Should have stayed in the city and worked.
MONDAY, OCT. 13? Discussion with 2x4 about Web site development. This includes integrating the site with all other technical aspects: telephones, computer software and hardware, accounting software, inventory software, etc. Worth it to go for a large host or small one? Definitely need a separate IT consultant and Web consultant to customize and integrate 2x4's Web design. Need to hire these people and meet as group.
TUESDAY, OCT. 14? Demolition began on Friday! Finally. It's amazing how much they did in two days. Walls look good, but will have to be cleaned up to leave exposed (another unbudgeted expense of $2,000). Trying to set up meeting with Dupont Corian to consider partnership. Have prepared a huge and beautiful presentation.
Tim, an IT consultant, came by to discuss our needs. Most important issue is determining the least expensive options that can be easily integrated and upgraded as we grow and can afford more.
MONDAY, OCT. 20? Confirmed Liberty in London. They are completely on board for a February launch.
TUESDAY, OCT. 21? Since the contractor found a problem with the foundation, we will have to rip up the existing floor and pour a new cement floor at an unexpected cost of $4,000. Also, our contractor received a visit from a neighbor who happens to be a sanitation policeman. We were ticketed $200 for carting trash from the store to a car on the street without a permit. Twice! The contractor will now have to go to the expense of renting a dumpster.
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 29? Great meeting with the regional sales manager and architectural manager from Dupont Corian. They will consider partnering with us on the project. Seems likely and would be a huge help. Very exciting, but so late in the game!
THURSDAY, OCT. 30? Southern California is still on fire. The fires are just across the freeway from our factory in the valley. Luckily, everyone we know is fine. They think it may be under control after a week of burning in the area. All of our packaging is there and raw materials are on their way for delivery (if deliveries are being made) for Monday and then the following Friday.
Meanwhile, in New York we took the car from the garage to reserve a space on the street for the delivery of the dumpster. After two parking tickets, we still couldn't get a space close enough with clearance for the dumpster. Then a space opened up and the delivery truck was able to wedge the one-ton dumpster into an open parking space between two cars. Aside from my $110 in fines, the dumpster was also fined $200 at the dump site because ceramic tiles were mixed in with the concrete (not allowed).
FRIDAY, OCT. 31? Before we pour the new store concrete floor, the electrician must run electrical wiring and plugs down the center of the floor. This will delay the floor pouring until Monday. We will also need a licensed plumber to move the water meter, which was originally installed on the floor. This will be positioned on the wall. Can't wait to see how much this will cost-it's not a planned expense.
Another unexpected cost was for cleaning of the brick walls, which we exposed from under Sheetrock. Our contractor told me that his guys would only wire-brush the brick at $600 for the two large walls. Originally, he had quoted $2,500 for more detailed cleaning. While I approved the $600, he told me today that they did the work for $2,500 by accident (no wonder it looks so nice) and wanted me to consider the difference in cost. (Ha!)
TUESDAY, NOV. 4? Tim updated IT proposal with detailed suppliers of integrated software and hardware. It looks like we can narrow it down to four (of 10) possible systems.
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 5? Got additional pricing today from our printer for gift boxes and stock bags with our logo printed on them. So expensive. We'll have to focus only on large gift boxes for now. Still waiting for pricing on the sticker. 2x4 feels strongly that the sticker is much nicer than printing directly on the boxes.
FRIDAY, NOV. 7? Small birthday party with eight friends. Like always, we use them as a focus group. Show off final packaging and some lab samples. No negative feedback, except that one person thinks the text on the bottles is overwhelming
MONDAY, NOV. 10? The worst Monday ever! Got the first production batch samples overnight from manufacturer. Only two of six are fine as they are! Goal to have finished (filled) products in New York by Dec. 5. Problem: It appears that the manufacturer is missing an important ingredient for the face moisturizer, face cleanser and body scrub. And, of course, our formulator is away and the manufacturer needs to wait for her return next Tuesday to place the order.
To make matters worse, construction in the store has stopped. We won't be able to proceed until we have the Corian to build the store walls. Because of our agreement with Dupont, we have to wait to receive the Corian materials from them. This will be at least another week, possibly two.
We also received our pharmacy" bags printed off center and too dark. All 25,000 pieces will have to be returned and reprinted. Could this week get any worse? I have a headache and need a drink, and it's only 2 p.m.
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 12? Andrew accepts design award for Vitra at Brooklyn Museum of Art and gives speech. Have to miss due to the co-op board meeting to review the storefront glass details.
SUNDAY, NOV. 16? Clark of Independence Bank made a stop to see us on his day off. It's so nice when someone makes our little business a priority! Rates are competitive and there is a branch directly across the street.
TUESDAY, NOV. 18? Got the second round of final production samples from the manufacturer. Shampoo is good. Face Moisturizer and Body Scrub still need more adjustments and the Face Cleanser definitely needs more adjusting. Our manufacturer sent some samples in our final packaging as a dress rehearsal. The seal under the cap, which we paid extra to have, is not adhering to the bottle opening. Our packaging company has mistakenly sent heat seals rather than the pressure seals that we wanted, and they're not sticking (because we are not using heat). Of course we have only just discovered this mistake today! It may take two weeks to get the right seals from the packaging company.
SUNDAY, NOV. 20? Lyme test at noon because of the tick bite last month. Negative, thank God. One less thing to worry about.
FRIDAY, NOV. 21? Dad's birthday. 66. I got so busy during the day that I missed my opportunity to call and didn't speak with him! I am a bad son.
TUESDAY, NOV. 25? Corian able to setup meeting for fabrication and installation next week. We can finally get construction going again?it has been dead for three weeks while we've been waiting for confirmation. Now we can schedule all final details to complete and open!
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 26? The associate architect overseeing our project has to return to Japan this weekend to renew her visa and will be gone for the next two weeks-the last two and most important weeks of construction. Purchased all of the computer hardware today from HP for the store and office.
FRIDAY, NOV. 28? Received e-mail that was sent late on Wednesday. Several of the items ordered from HP are out of stock and delivery times cannot be confirmed. I was VERY specific with my salesperson that I would place this order and PAY EXTRA for second-day delivery to have the equipment by next week. Now I am VERY upset but no one is available from HP as they are closed for the Thanksgiving weekend. Need hardware so that Tim can begin configuring our systems.
TUESDAY, DEC 2? Send salesman at HP a curt e-mail-and get immediate reply: "Out of office, please contact Ben..." I am so mad that I call for an HP supervisor, who is finally helpful and is able to locate my parts for configuration and then get them mailed (within a couple of days) to us.
THURSDAY, DEC 4? Our manufacturer is having delays with our tubes, as it is very labor intensive (everyone warned us, but we were adamant about doing them). All else fine and on track to be finished and filled within the next week.
FRIDAY, DEC 5? Got HP notebook and printer overnight today. At least it's something. Close on business line of credit, just in case.
FRIDAY, DEC 12? Gift boxes arrived. They look fabulous. We can send out press kits and product holiday gifts as soon as we have all the products.
MONDAY, DEC 15? All final products have now been OK'd for the manufacturer to fill and ship, with the exception of two that need minor adjustments. Will have all product by Jan. 1 if not sooner. Perfect for a February ship to retail accounts.
FRIDAY, DEC 19? Tim begins installing software and integrating all equipment. We had originally planned to do this in the store, but since it's still in full construction, we're using our dining room table as our computer lab. Our foyer and office are piled with computer boxes, brochures, shopping bags, tissue paper, etc. Can't wait for the store to open.
MONDAY, DEC 26? The old Seventies ugly aluminum and glass storefront was removed, replaced with a sleek, elegant, modern glass that's a perfect contrast to the original Art Deco facade of the building. We also removed an unsightly security roll gate that will be replaced with an alarm system. This gate occupied a space that is now a beautiful glass transom, increasing the height of the storefront from 9 feet to 12 feet. It looks really elegant.
MONDAY, DEC 29? Our warehouse shelves for our stock are delivered to the store. Barely got them in the store since the front part of the cement floor was laid today. We built a cardboard bridge over the new cement work and lugged each piece of shelving in there one by one. Shelves cannot be installed until electrical wiring is finished. Need to check on timing with electrician and contractor, maybe next week? Five huge skids of product delivered to the sidewalk in front of the building. While this is great news, we had to lug them into the basement, stack and inventory. It took two hours. a
THURSDAY, JAN. 8? As of today, all product is complete and is here or will be here by early next week. All marketing material is here, as is all computer equipment. We're finalizing several magazine editorials and retail accounts. And we are completely on schedule to open our store Feb. 1. It's just a matter of installing the Corian and bathroom walls, among other small details. Finally.
MONDAY, JAN. 12? Corian is finally being installed, along with a beautiful new toilet and sink! Homestretch! Met with Barneys. Confirmed 18th Street Co-Op, SoHo Co-Op and the Beverly Hills store. VERY exciting. Will start shipping for the second week in February.
TUESDAY, JAN. 13? Got FedEx from formulator for new Eye Moisturizer. Love it. May have to wait to finish electrical until next week when there is more room for electrician to work (Corian is everywhere). Confirmed distribution with Louis Boston for February launch!
THURSDAY, JAN. 15? Momentum! Amazing distribution so far; we're ready to go! Press is rolling in and 2x4 is finally having our business cards printed. (How did we forget this?) So much has been accomplished. We're proud and excited and anxious. More products to develop. So much to do...

A very conveniently placed flat between old square and the castle, practically very close to every historic place. Flat is also well furbished with enough space up to three peoples. Downstairs there is a bakery where you can have a fresh breakfast.
So all fine, the only think is the communication (slow in reply) which need to be improved.
A good size clean and quiet apartment. Slight smell coming from the bathroom and the pictures are from the flat below (we think) not the top floor one where we stayed as the kitchen is slightly different. However this didnt affect our stay. Great views, location and the staff were very helpful finding us a cot at short notice and sorting the cable TV late in the evening.
lovely apartment great view across the Maly Rynek and well placed for a lot of local bars , restaurants , cafes and shops and i nearly forgot the market square , old city apartment company office staff i found to be very helpful and knowledgeable also a big thank you to Daniel who drove us from the airport to the office and apartment and back to the airport , the only downside was the stairs to the apartment but that did not spoil our stay , so a big thank you to everyone at the company
When we arrived, the apartment we had booked was not availebal due to a water leckage. This had happend two days ago, but we were not contacted. We were offered a 2 room apartment with 1 bath insteed of the 3 rooms with 2 baths we had payed for. In discussion about price reduction we were told this was an upgrade, and therefor they would not offer compensation. The last day we were allowed to keep the appartement unntil 19 o clock insteed of 12. This was a totally different apartement, and not bright, big we had booed. Disappointing.
Three of us stayed at this apartment.
It is in a fantastic location and is in a very beautiful building.
The apartment is very well laid out and is well equipped.
We really loved staying here.
2 teeny-weeny improvements - provide a tea pot and an iron. Otherwise a perfect place to stay.
Very happy with the stay! Very convienient location.
The apartment was not ready when we arrived the decorators were still working. We were asked at the office to return in 2 hours and were taken to the 'house of beer' for refreshments. When we were then taken to the apartment the workmen were just finishing. The apartment was very comfortable and spacious and ideal for three couples. It was not however the apartment we had reserved having reviewed the advertised photographs! Despite this I would highly recommend the apartment and would return for another break.
Nice apartment, clean and cosy. There are only 2 bedrooms with double beds. 3 couples will not be comfortable. At night it might be noicey. Well after all it is rhight at the main square.
All in all good experience.
Fantastic location in a mixed rental/residential block a few minutes from the hubbub of the city centre, overlooking the old city walls. Had booked a balcony but this was not available upon arrival; alternative apartment was soon organised by Mat and was very warm, large and comfortable. A toaster and microwave would've been handy. We left a 'phone there and they emailed to say they would send it. At the time of writing we had not received this but was impressed that the contact was initiated. Krakow itself is absolutely gorgeous.
Great apartment, clean and large. The position is wonderful, with an amazing view on the Central Market Square. The staff was really helpful, I strongly suggest this apartment.

Programme would raise $250,000 by charging access to Kingitanga functions
King Tuheitia's private secretary is considering raising $250,000 by providing corporate "access" to royal events.
In email correspondence seen by the Herald, Rangi Whakaruru discusses a plan to raise money for "projects" by charging for access to Kingitanga events for "hospitality, branding, community, awareness, relationships, knowledge and educational development".
Mr Whakaruru discusses the plan with Susan Cullen, who made a fortune in Maori education through contracts to Te Wananga o Aotearoa when her father was in charge of the institution.
The events in question include koroneihana commemorations, poukai where Kingitanga marae host the king for a day and regatta celebrations.
The programme is called the "Kingitanga Enabling Partnerships Approach [Kepa]" and in a discussion document Mrs Cullen sets out how corporates could be successfully targeted to raise $250,000 for the 2012-13 year.
The document says the value of the partnerships would need to be seen as mutually beneficial.
A board or committee would also need to be set up to take responsibility for the project.
The Waikato Raupatu Lands Trust contributes to those events already. Its annual report notes $4.359 million was granted for the Kingitanga, marae and other purposes. How much of the figure goes to the king's office is unclear.
Mrs Cullen told the Herald via email that no decisions had been made on whether the programme would go ahead.
Mr Whakaruru did not return Herald calls.
However, in other email correspondence between Mr Whakaruru and another close adviser to the king, Greg Miller, there is tension about accounting standards.
Mr Miller, who is Toll New Zealand's group general manager, says Mr Whakaruru has failed to provide 82 invoices over several months.
The situation means expenditure cuts are needed "to ensure the King is not short of funds?? [sic] now a priority I suggest".
"We can't let this go on this way ... any deviations reflect on us all by [sic] more importantly on the king and his office.
"Happy to help Rangi but we need the answers from you."
Mr Miller did not return calls.
The email trail
Email: from Susan Cullen to Rangi Whakaruru
"I thought I would propose a realistic target for the hui of $250k for 12-13. I think this is achievable and not look too big for people.
Ultimately I would like to see at least a mil of funding lined up in projects ... but maybe that is too ambitious ... I know you love ambition!"
Reply email from Mr Whakaruru
"This is great, the way to start is to make sure we get a solid pitch in terms of corporate relationships. The cost of relationships to these guys is alot [sic] about access not money. You will be fine"

I don't like the way you're looking at me.
That'll be 50 cents to cover Maine's new hostile-stare tax.
Planning to punch me out? It'll hurt you more in the wallet than it will me in the kisser, because this state will soon have a hefty surcharge on surliness.
Spreading nasty rumors about me?
The lowdown is that you'll have to cough up a buck for the official gossip tax.
Wasting time? There's a stiff levy on loitering.
Napping? If you snooze, you lose — financially.
Messing around on your spouse or significant other? Illicit sex can be taxing — in more ways than one.
That's the way it's going to be under my bold and innovative tax-reform plan. You'll be making a substantial payment to the public coffers every time you engage in bad behavior. This will result not only a state in which a majority of the population is polite, accommodating, faithful, and industrious, but also one in which the substantial minority of angry, adulterous, lazy, and generally unpleasant slobs guarantees that the books will be balanced even in the worst recessions.
Damn. I should have known real tax reform couldn't be that simple. I just got a letter from the Maine Revenue Service informing me I owe unreasonable-expectations tax.
But even if it's not possible to tax every sin (that tooth-gnashing sound seems to be coming from Michael Heath of the Maine Family Policy Council), it ought to be within our power to put a heavy financial burden on at least a few of them, beyond the usual scapegoats of liquor and tobacco.
Take, for instance, legislation introduced by Democratic state Representative David Webster of Freeport, which calls for a statewide ban on trans fats. Webster told the Bangor Daily News he believes the tasty-but-unhealthful glop should be outlawed because of its financial impact on the health-care system.
"The fact is that it costs us because of MaineCare," he said, "it costs us because of high rates of disease in this state, and it costs us as taxpayers."
Well then, why not make those gourmands who insist on the traditional greasy methods of making French fries, doughnuts, and corn dogs pay for their plebian palates? All it would take is a Maine trans-fat tax to settle their stomachs and the government's debts.
Republican state Senator Walter Gooley of Farmington wants to legalize fireworks, because this state is running behind the national average for people with only one eye or less than 10 fingers. But there's also a monetary aspect.
"I see this generating several hundred thousand dollars [in sales taxes]," Gooley told the Morning Sentinel.
I think he's underestimating the potential. As a big fan of blowing things up, I'd be more than willing to pay an explosive tax rate to get my hands (so far, with all fingers intact) on some serious rocketry. And imagine what we could make selling this stuff to the North Koreans.

This time of year, gowns and mortar-boards are rented in their thousands in preparation for graduation ceremonies around the country. For medical students, after five years of undergraduate study you can probably imagine their relief.
Obtaining a degree in medicine has been the mainstay of the medical profession for centuries. However, licensed and strictly regulated medicine hasn't always been the most dominant with competition from a range of other practitioners or widely available for all. Even in the history of medical education, a degree hasn't been accessible for all.
Gaining a degree is a symbol of medical knowledge setting doctors apart from the lay public. But of course, you can't wear academic robes every day to show your qualifications. Today we are used to the doctor's white coat as one of the symbol of the medical profession.
In the 19th century though, before the white coat became a symbol, how could you show your qualifications? There is of course the traditional framed certificate but there were other more subtle indicators. The brass door plate and the top hat was a subtle way of showing the social standing of a doctor had improved.
Today the white coat appears to be undergoing changeable fortunes. Some have been disappearing from hospitals and clinics for various reasons: cross-infection, breaking down social barriers, and maybe the impact of 'white coat syndrome.' The doctor's uniform is tied up with issues of trust, status, and even hope.
Of course the white coat isn't just the preserve of doctors but also scientists and laboratory technicians.
What would be your symbol of modern medicine? Would it be the ubiquitious stethoscope slung around the doctor's neck or somthing else?

st: RES: treatreg model with binary outcomes
Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:16:59 -0200
I do not know if I understand your question well. I think that I had a
similar problem: estimating the effect of a social policy (a government
program to combat poverty) on an indicator of food security. Participation
in the program is defined as a dummy variable (P) and Y is the indicator of
food security which is also a dummy. The first equation is a logit model:
Ln (p / (1-p)) = beta0 + beta1 * P + beta2 * X1 + ... + betap * Xp + u (1)
Where p is the probability of being in a situation of food security.
P is a dummy of selection in the program
Clearly here P is endogenous because participation in the program is
determined by the situation of food security of the household. Then I used a
second equation:
Ln (q / (1-q)) = gamma0 + gamma1 * M1 + ... + gammap * Mp + v (2)
Where q is the selection probability in the program and M1 ,..., Mp are
explanatory factors for this participation. This equation is the first stage
of an estimation by instrumental variables in two stages. I replaced the
estimate of q obtained through the logit model (2) in place of P variable in
the logit model (1).
I wonder if this helps you and also on the part of any list member if there
is any flaw in this econometric method.

Assunto: st: treatreg model with binary outcomes
Hi all!
I want to run a treatment effects model. I have binary outcome
variables for both parts of a two-stage model. Essentially, I have
W=Y+x1...xi+e where Y=Z+x1...x1+e
My outcome of interest is W (binary) and it is predicted by Y (binary)
and control variables x1...xi. Y is predicted by an instrumental
variable Z (continuous, unrelated to W) and the the same set of control
variables x1...xi (predictive of both W and Y).
It is my understanding that the treatreg command is appropriate only
for a continuous outcome variable. I have tried looking at the
biprobit command but I have not been able to figure out if that is the
appropriate model to use. If so, which model gets the x1---xi

i am in the "earth" group. All my F8's just got mailed. Have fun!
I have my list. I haven't made a final decision about the fabric, but will by this weekend. Will be stopping in at the LQS on my way home today.
I'm in the water group. Just finished addressing envelops and will take them to the post office today. So excited, am really looking forward to all of your fabrics, just hope I can do your blocks justice.
The envelopes are address, materials to be washed but probably won't be able to mail until next week, but will get them sent as soon as possible.
Aww thanks so much for the kind words Marilyn. I truly do love this swap and hope that others will love it as I do :) Life is better for me since surgery as my numbness is pretty much all gone and my vision has come back to almost 100%. The migraines are not screaming at me and they have eased quite a bit. I will take a bad day here and there any day over horrible pain 24/7/365 lol The rest of the things I am dealing with in life will work themselves out in time. :)
Abonda I will re-email the list to you now.
Got the list and material ready. This ones for a speical girl who has had a transplant the material was used at a benifit for her hoping everyone will sign their block and where their from so she knows where the blocks come from
Yay! I'm in water group too! I got my list and see a lot of Boom Friends on it! Soooo....here we go again!
Hey April....that isn't "hot" water we're all in...is it? Happy you are feeling better...you should write a book about this ICHT! You probably know more about it then most doctors do!
Rats!! I started printing out my letters to go with my fabric and ran out of ink. Then instead of going to Staples, my 3 month old grandson told me he missed me and wanted to see me. Well, I hadn't seen him since Monday after all. So, I went to see him. Hee Hee. Guess I will make a trip for ink tomorrow.
Envelopes are ready to be mailed! I recognize about half of you from previous Booms, so hello to old friends and new!
I think I will be doing a couple of different fabrics this time. I don't think I'll have enough of the one I started with - due to my own error in cutting! And I also find my fabric is less than 44" so my pieces will be a little less than 22". I have to get my envelopes ready and labels printed and then I'm off to the Post Office. I can't wait to start making blocks.

First off, I had to put my things int he car, get accustomed to the left handed stick shift. That wasn't tough. Directions were pretty clear as well as the roadsigns on the roundabouts tell you which exit to head out on. Unfortunately, google maps confused me a lot because it wanted to take me on side streets through Limerick when I actually was supposed to just take a few roundabouts to the national highway. So instead I just turned the radio station over to talk radio where they were talking about Eurovision, women's rights in Ireland, pub guidelines and birth control
As I tried to follow google maps, I just decided to take a sure bet and take a road that said my destination and followed that. I ended up going the long way and passed the countryside, the peninsular coast, a few cows and passed by various little villages instead. I couldn't complain at all. It lasted a few extra minutes, but because I was ahead of schedule it was a nice little diversion. That's the beauty of having the rental car, I was afforded the opportunity to take the wrong road and wrong turns and not be penalized.
The road to Kinsale was a bit confusing as well, as I got lost in one of the small villages along the way as directions were confusing and it was raining a bit too by then. But in Ireland it rains. Full stop.


text: Yeah, I love peoples reactions when I say its stick... or not telling them lol anyway- I wonder who has sought improvement for the common NV3500 in both the fullsize ans S10 modles... Basically you either need to shim the flywheel or _________ ? Im gonna get a Hurst shifter for it soon, which will be sweet, but the issuses are almost never with the shifting; i feel. basically the clutch either needs to be bled, or the rod made longer. probably both. so effective bleeding stories: GO Part numbers for slave clyn. featuring adjustable rods: GO side note... should the bleeder on the slave be down?!... it should be up right?... cause youknow... air goes up, like with the calipers. right?

What we hear today isn't rap by any stretch of the imagination....it's a bunch of corporate mainstream garbage that girls dance to in the club....zero soul, zero originality, zero substance, zero creativity, zero realness....complete and total GARBAGE
I get in this debate with my friends all the time who say that I'm stuck in the past and I ruin parties with my old school music that no one knows...it's so depressing to see all the young people of today's minds' so polluted with that trash that they can't appreciate real music. Instead, they'd rather listen to a clown talking about how he has more money than them, and bragging about his $, his cars, his girls, his expensive champagne....and other material bull####.

Genre: Fantasy
Number of pages: 256
What's the basic story line?
An American girl named Maya Davidson moves to Paris with her family. Shortly after she arrives, Maya notices strange things happening, such as a stone salamander on a doorknob that smiles at her. After meeting some interesting relatives, she learns of a cabinet that holds a strange and mysterious secret. At first, Maya thinks the contents of the cabinet can save her sick mother, but then learns the horrible truth of how the contents of the cabinet came to be.
Are the characters believable?
The characters are believable because of the detail Anne Nesbet, the author, puts into the story. Maya's dialogue is believable for a 13-year-old, and so was the dialogue of her rambunctious younger brother. Even the more fantasy-type characters in the book are believable, because of the details the author uses. Maya believes what she is seeing, and so the reader does too.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best), how would you rate this book?
I would rate this book an 8. At times, in the beginning of the book, I felt a little confused and had to go back and re-read some passages to make sure I understood the plot thus far. What I loved about this book is how close Nesbet made me feel to Maya. From Maya's worries over her mother to her bravery with the cabinet, Nesbet makes the reader really love this character. Because of this, the whole fantasy is believable and not at all fake.

On Dec. 3, 1992, Neil Papworth, a young software engineer in England, sent out the world's first text message.
Typing on a PC — since mobile phones weren't yet equipped with keyboards — he wrote a cheery message to Vodafone's Richard Jarvis. It read, simply: Merry Christmas.
Twenty years later, text messaging, or texting, has become one of the most ubiquitous forms of communication.
A study by the Pew Research Center earlier this year found that 75 per cent of cellphone owners across 21 countries used their devices to send SMS (short message service) messages. Texting is especially common in Indonesia, Kenya and Lebanon.
What are you, some kind of robot who FEELS NOTHING?
I don't believe you really laughed at loud when I told you I was eating a Halloween "sandwitch." Or maybe I do. Okay, fine, you're right -- I'm hilarious.
Unless you passed out because getting a text from me was THAT exciting. In which case, s'cool.
I DEK wat 2 thnk bc I cnt undstd wat ur syng!! ILouv1Direction
Real-life conversation? Only our parents get this privilege. Sorry.
Last year, Canadians sent out about 78 billion messages, according to a study by the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association. That averages out to almost 2,500 texts sent every second.
The number of messages sent annually has nearly quadrupled since 2008 and is up nearly 20 times over 2006, when Canadians squeaked out only 4.3 billion texts.
Despite these numbers, some are predicting that the text-messaging phenomenon has already passed its peak.
The Guardian points out that the rise of smartphones and inexpensive data services have led to the popularity of data-based instant messaging, like WhatsApp or BlackBerry Messenger.

Accommodation summary
|188 St Nicholas Ave, 10026 New York, アメリカ合衆国
One large guest bedroom is available in our 3 bedroom apartment in South Harlem. We are just 10 short blocks from Central Park, close to Columbia University, and an easy 15 minutes by to mid-town via the A Train (express subway).
Yours is a back bedroom located right next to the bathroom, and separated from the rest of the living space by a 30' hallway. The bedroom is spacious and quiet, with desk, wifi, and plenty of privacy. There is a full-sized double bed with a very comfortable, deluxe futon mattress on it. We provide fresh linens, towels and light breakfast (self serve: fruit, yogurt, granola, bagels or toast, eggs, and plenty of tea and excellent coffee!)
A comfortable, very spacious top floor apartment - the perfect space for a single traveler or couple looking to be conveniently close to everything in NYC but also able to "get away from it all". Our cool and funky flat is full of plants, artwork and music, with a large eat-in kitchen and hardwood floors throughout. There is an elevator and wifi, and you are welcome to come and go as you like - your room is closest to the front door so you will not be disturbing anyone.
We are located in South Harlem - just 10 blocks from Central Park, in an area now affectionately being called "SoHa".
It's funky and diverse, with lots of history and character, and the streets are very broad and well-lit so its easy and safe to walk around even at night. (Check out our reviews to see what our previous guests had to say).
There are lots of shops, cafes, bakeries, bistros, wine bars, beer gardens, and night clubs all within a 10 block radius, and it seems like a new cafe, bar or restaurant is opening up every month!
We are surrounded by Harlem brownstones, gospel churches, and old jazz haunts. The Apollo Theater, Minton's Playhouse and Lenox Lounge all only a few blocks away. Also close by is the Studio Museum of Harlem, and Celebrity Chef Marcus Samuelsson's restaurant, Red Rooster. Make sure to check out our Neighborhood Guidebook to see all the nearby shops, bars, and restaurants!
Central Park (10 short blocks)
Saint John's the Divine Cathedral (15 minutes)
Columbia University (15)
Apollo Theater (5)
Morningside Park (5)
Cafe's, bars & restaurants (everywhere!)
3 subway stations (5)
We are just a 5 minute walk to subways 2,3,A,B,C,D and only 15 minutes by subway to midtown (Penn Station, Rockefeller Center, MOMA) or 25 minutes to downtown (West Village, SOHO, Union Square etc). Most of the major museums including the Museum of Natural History, Guggenheim, Whitney and the Met are just 30 minutes by bus or subway, or a nice walk through the park from us.
We are a couple in our late 40/early 50s - a vegetarian chef and a guitarist/composer. We are both freelancers and spend a lot of time at home, involved in our own projects, so are looking for someone who is also quiet and respectful of the space.

We stayed for 7 nights and felt very welcome and comfortable. Hannes was our host (Jorin was not in NY during our stay). Hannes is a very kind and blitheful person and he made our stay very pleasant. He gave us a lot of helpful information. The breakfast was includet and we got everything we required. The room is clean and big enough for two persons. The bathroom is also close to the room. We felt very safe there, the subway is about 5 minutes away and it is easy to get everywhere in the City :)

Jorin wasn't in New York during our stay but Hannes also was a really nice host. Very friendly and helpful.
We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much!
It was a perfect holiday with a perfect place to stay. Jorin and her husband were really nice and helpful. If you need something printed, if you have questions or you want some advice they can give it to you.

I deffently would advise my family and friends to stay with Jorin!

Stogner recall threat with Horsely leads to San Mateo taxpayers saving $$$
Original post made by Thank you Michael Stogner, another community, on Jan 11, 2013
Because Michael Stogner had the courage to take on Supervisor Don Horsely, and threaten to recall him unless he rescinded his broken campaign promise to take nearly $150K/year in salary and benefits, today Don Horsely announced he was backing down and keeping his promise.
Thank you, Mr. Horsely, for doing the right thing.
Thank you very much, Mr. Stogner, for showing this leadership.

I don't care if Don gets paid or not, that $150,000 is 0.0075% of the county budget.
It takes a lot more courage to put your name on the ballot every election.

Supervisor Don Horsley's statement.
"I made a commitment to forgo the salary and I will keep that commitment,"

0.0075% – It certainly does. I believe I thanked both Mr. Horsely, and Mr. Stogner, who have both shown that courage, and have both wound up doing the right thing here.

Yes, it takes courage - and a big ego - to put your name on the ballot.
But people elect their officials based on the representations those candidates make and what they stand for. It takes honesty and integrity to honor those promises.

If Supervisor Horsley is reading this, this is what I want him to know: I'm actually sorry that it came down to this. I'm sorry Mr. Horsley's mother-in-law needs care & I'm sorry that he made that sort of promise. Frankly, he could've announced that he needed to break his promise & explain why. It's the sneaky sneak actions & seemingly cavalier attitude & promise breaking that I object to. I've worked close enough to one of the supervisors & staff on local issues a few years back that I know how hard they work, so I certainly don't begrudge them their salary.
Thank you, Mr. Stogner, for making Mr. Horsley accountable for his actions & thank you, Mr. Horsley, for honoring your promise. Please note for the future, it's not about the money!

I agree with POGO. Well stated.
a resident of another community
on Jan 12, 2013 at 3:14 pm
Oh, thanks, POGO! That's really nice to know. I'll be honest: as much as Mr. Horsley's smug mug bugs me at times, I know the supervisors work hard. Having aging parents is not easy & I dread that future time. His MIL needing care makes him more human to me, which I think is a good thing. I also hope that he learns to be more forthcoming & not make such cavalier, open-ended promises. His constituents might be busy, but we're not stupid & we don't want to be "handled" or blown off. Moreover, I get so focused on my professional, personal & community responsibilities that I don't always pay attention to the county goings-on. I *really* appreciate Mr. Stogner's doing so.
Another aspect of all of this which I value: it brings together county residents from many walks of life, varying demographics & differing state/national political perspectives who see eye to eye on necessary standards for local politicians.

Wonderful outcome, a win win for all of San Mateo County.
The only reporter to contact me was Bonnie Eslinger she was also the reporter to write the words Broken Promise. Other stories stated he was now going to accept his well deserved salary. After reading those stories I felt like sending Don a Thank You card for doing all of us a favor by accepting the salary. After reading Bonnie's story I sent him the e-mail.
Thank You Bonnie

An armed robber is on the run after firing at least five shots during three separate robberies in Auckland between 4pm and 5pm yesterday.
All of the shots were fired into the ground during the last robbery at the summit of Mt Eden, when two victims challenged and chased the man after he stole a bag from them.
Police have since recovered the .22 calibre bullets.
At least four people were confronted by the man, who stole money, a cellphone and a bag containing a Taiwanese passport during the spree.
Police said he was driving a 2012 royal blue Commodore SV6 with the registration GPH784, which had been reported stolen.
The man has been described as being Maori or Polynesian and aged between late 20s to 40.
Police are urging people not to approach the man, and to call police immediately on 111 if they see him.
Anyone with footage or information about the incidents are also urged to contact police.

text: Helping Our Heroes Continue to Serve Many people join the military because they want to do something that matters. They want to serve their country and do their part to protect people. Deployments, temporary homes and time away from family are all sacrifices needed to achieve that sense of purpose. That overarching sense of duty does not go unnoticed. Soldiers, Marines, sailors, airmen and Coast Guard are praised by the public, and as a result, they know they are contributing to something real. They know they are making a difference.

I dunno, seems a bit lazy to keep releasing live albums from over 10 years ago. I'd rather hear something fresh and new. The other new disc sounds okay, but not inspiring enough to invest in. I used to buy new SR albums immediately without question. These days I find I'm placing my orders months later or even not at all. Maybe I'm getting more picky as I get older...
Roach's newer stuff seems to be "low level listening" music, more for background than deep focus. It has a place, IMO, but it's not why I like Roach.The more active 'tribal' stuff from 10-15 years ago is more engaging to my ears.
If you ask me nothing of recent years comes even close to Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces. That's the standard he has to beat. If he can top that, it would raise the bar for the entire ambient genre. The real masterpieces come maybe once a decade. But there's still plenty of good stuff from 2003-2013. I absolutely love Dream Tracker for example, or Road Eternal. And Journey of One (yes from an older concert, but still...amazing). Arc of Passion, Soul Tones.
What is this: "the universal consciousness" ??
"your consciousness comes one with the cosmic consciousness" "you float through waters and the void and beyond into a vortex" ?? "a black hole into the paradise new beautiful world" ??What !!!

So I had a bear attack last night. It was at an out apiary. This guy practically lives in town so it was what I least expected. I have 2 Warre hives at his house. One I started last year and one that I started this year. The one from last year was spared. It has three full boxes-one honey and two brood. It is working on a supered box and a nadired box. The other I started this year and is only in 1 box.
The bear tore apart the new hive. The top box was tossed around 15 feet from the hive. Most of the comb was eaten, but a couple of brood combs were just tore out. To add insult to injury we have had thunderstorms and hail all day long. So the bees were wet as well. They were in two clusters. One in the feeder and a larger one in the bottom box (has no comb). Plenty of dead bees, but there was a sizable cluster still alive. I rubber banded whatever comb I could back into the box and put whatever comb was left on the top bars back into the top box, got as many bees as I could back in, and closed things up. I made sure that they had some feed above and below.
So now my question...wtf now? I cannot forsee myself getting an electric fence anytime soon. I see two overall problems.
1. What do I do with the destroyed colony?
2. What do I do with the established colony?
The first thing I plan on doing is moving both hives. I have a trailer that I emergently borrowed. I plan on reducing the small colony to one box. I plan on doing my best at removing whatever boxes I can that are partially drawn and hauling them beeless. The other three I may haul the other three together or separate. I am not sure.
So what do you think? Any suggestions? I put urgent in the title as I plan on going back tonight to move the bees as I would hate the good hive to get torn apart tonight.
