LAKE ARTHUR — The immediate threat of a levee failure in Lake Arthur appears to have passed, but flooding will continue for several more days, Mayor Robbie Bertrand said Wednesday.
"The water levels are still at critical heights, and we are nowhere close to being out of the woods," Bertrand said. "We are still in a critical situation with the levee. I feel more confident about it, but I am not ready to claim victory yet."
Conditions appeared to be improving late Wednesday with skies clearing, but water levels remain high, Bertrand said.
Lake Arthur schools were scheduled to reopen today after being closed for four days.
Wednesday was Bertrand's birthday.
"The very best birthday present I could receive is that the weather clears and waters begin to go down," he said. "We're hoping for sunshine and more clearing tomorrow."
The Mermentau River was at 10.24 feet as of 3:15 p.m. Wednesday. It is expected to crest at 10.3 feet and remain at that level through Friday, before beginning a slow decline, according to the National Weather Service.
La. 26 between Lake Arthur and Jennings remained closed in both directions Wednesday due to high water over the road.
Officials were still keeping a close eye on a critical levee along the shrimp boat canal on New Orleans Avenue, where workers have stacked sandbags and piles of dirt in an effort to hold back the rising water.
"The levee is still at bay with a 3-inch clearance, so I am feeling much better about it," Bertrand said.
No increase was reported in water levels overnight, he said.
Bertrand said residents who have relocated because of rising waters should plan to stay away another day to give conditions time to improve.
Water is still high in some areas, including the east part of town and the lakefront, where several streets remain impassable and homes are surrounded by water.
When the floodwaters recede to the height of the levees, the town will begin pumping aggressively to clear streets and property, but that could still be days away, Bertrand said.
Once floodwaters recede, there will also be a lot of cleanup to do, he said. Floodwaters have washed a lot of litter, seaweed, logs and other debris into yards, ditches and streets.
A 10 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew remains in place because several streets are still flooded, Bertrand said.
Authorities have feared levee failures throughout town following nearly a week of heavy rain.

|st: Panel ID and Time Variable
|Mon, 11 Apr 2005 05:50:05 -0400 (EDT)
Hi: I am new in statalistserv. Let me describe my problem. I have a cross-national dataset for 93 countries that I collected from ICPSR's World Value Surveys. Now, in this dataset, the unit of analysis is INDIVIDUAL (a total of approximately 42,000 individuals for 93 countries) with three waves (years): 1981, 1990, and 1997; when I want to run Random or Fixed effect models, and put "nations" as Panel ID, I get results, but when I put "nations" as Panel ID and "Waves" as Time variable, STATA suggests that there are repeated time values in the panel. I guess this is because each individual (unit of analysis) has the same year. For example, 4000 indivials of France in 1981 have 1981 as time variable. Perhaps, therefore, I do not get any result out of it. I know that by calculating nations' averages, and entering these as new variables might solve the problem. I was loooking for some simpler solution to the problem so that I do not need to reenter data. I have two questions in this regard: (1) How can I do panel analysis using this dataset putting "Nations" and "Waves" as my Panel ID and Time variable respectively? (2) If I do not put Time variable, but put Panel ID and run regression, and get results, is it ok for my panel analysis? I would appreciate if anyone kindly enlighten me in the above problem. This will save me at this point.

Obesity, Breakfast Wars, and the Coffee Aisle
We'll get to that intriguing title in a second. But first, let's ask:
Is Coffee a Breakfast Item?
Sounds like a silly question, right? Especially for you, Mr. Café Owner. You've known for years that 80% of your traffic comes before 10 am. Good coffee sales equals great profitability for you. What about on the grocery shelf? Do coffee and breakfast go together there? Seems like it should. But back to the intrigue…
One of the casualties of the obesity epidemic has been on-premise soft drink sales. Fewer Americans are filling up 48 ounce cups with carbohydrate-packed soda. In parallel and perhaps ironically, there has been a push by the fast food segment to promote breakfast. It's called the "The Battle for Breakfast." McDonald's has dominated for years, Burger King got after it, Wendy's and Taco Bell are in the midst of tests, and even Subway is vying for the breakfast customer with a national rollout on April 5th. So why should grocery buyers care?
With the drop in soft drink sales, and increased competition for breakfast items, McDonald's, naturally, went for the coffee drinker with McCafe and its "premium roast" coffee. (Sidebar: Remember the days when the word premium meant more than "It actually doesn't taste bad!") Now more fast food marketers and quick serve restaurants are following suit. But foodservice operators realize they can't win over the breakfast customer without a decent cup of coffee. Makes sense right? The two go hand in hand. We don't need a market research report to tell us that most Americans, without fail, drink coffee and eat breakfast, together, e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y. Bank on it. Dunkin' Donuts is. Recently known as a coffee (and then donut) destination, they're in the middle of launching "Oven Toasted Breakfast." And I bet it does well.
So there you have it. Obesity to soft drinks to breakfast to coffee to breakfast. Now let's tie it to the coffee aisle. In Dana Point, California two weeks ago, the National Coffee Association released its 2010 Trends finding. The report is available in a month or so, but once again, we learned that in-home brewing isn't just up, it's way up. With the number of total coffee drinkers remaining the same, 5% of all coffee drinkers no longer make a coffee run to their local coffee spot, but rather choose to brew at home! What's more, the previous annual trend was a 6% shift to the home brew! Year over year, it's a 9 percentage point move north for in-home brewing, from 75% of Americans to 84%!
The food service response to this, no doubt, involves breakfast. You see, and will continue to see, aggressive coffee-breakfast co-promotions. You'll continue to see unprecedented media spends from quick serve restaurant chains targeting the coffee drinker (like hundreds of millions of dollars when just two years ago no one was advertising coffee with any regularity) – with most of the messaging promising a "premium" experience better than Starbucks, for you to savor every morning. With these targeted "coffee-breakfast" consumers now walking grocery aisles in droves, maybe it makes sense to think about coffee-breakfast cross promotions. After all, coffee is a breakfast item. And what's really cool? It's fat free.

$10,000,000 Sequoia Healthcare District Nursing Education Program
Original post made by Jack Hickey, Woodside: Emerald Hills, on Oct 13, 2012
It has been my contention that the $25,000 District subsidy of each nurse's education should have instead been financed by loans from the California Nurses Association, which could easily have collected repayment regardless of where the nurses were employed.
In order to preserve District assets, subsidy of this Program should be terminated as soon as possible. With dissolution of the Sequoia Healthcare District those assets would then pass on to our schools, fire districts, etc.
RATIONALE FOR THE PROGRAM See: Web Link
"To prepare a ready supply of registered nurses for our community, the Sequoia Healthcare District created a unique partnership among Cañada College, San Francisco State University (SFSU), and Sequoia Hospital with the goal of producing 300-400 new nurses for this region over the next ten years. The first cohort began in September 2004. Graduates of the program will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree."
"The Sequoia Healthcare District is underwriting the program in the amount of $1M per year and has provided $650,000 for a state-of-the-art nursing skills lab on the Cañada College campus."

A statistical report entitled "SFSU/Sequoia Nursing Program stats" was presented to the SHCD Board at their October 10, 2012 meeting.
The report shows the following annual hiring of graduate nurses by Sequoia Hospital:
2006 - 16
2007 - 20
2008 - 14
2009 - 5
2010 - 11
2011 - 13
2012 - 0
Average for the first 5 years was 13.2 nurses hired at Sequoia Hospital per ~40 graduates, or 33%. That is hardly a majority as reported in the e-mail exchange below.

Subject: nurses
The majority of nurses graduating from our program end up being hired at Sequoia Hospital with a few being hired at Kaiser. The last two years have proven to be difficult due to the economy so about half the graduates have left the area to seek employment including a group of nine that went to the Palm Springs area. Obviously we will continue to monitor the issue and I will encourage San Mateo Medical Center to take a look but they are not doing much hiring these days either. These nurses are really looking for hospital based jobs and have not been to receptive to community nursing or mental health care where there is a bigger need. It is possible that many of those who have gained employment elsewhere may move back here once employment opportunities become more available.
I then sent the following to Kim Griffin, President of the Sequoia Healthcare District Board:

Subject: Fw: nurses
Kim, based upon these results, I suggest that we seek alternative funding for this program. Clearly, the beneficiaries are the nurses and their union. I have suggested in the past that the unions front the $25,000 per nurse (x 40= $1,000,000/yr), which the District now pays. It would be easy for them to recoup the money from the newly unionized nurses, regardless of their place of employment. And, it would level the playing field for health care providers.

Subject: RE: nurses
Hi Jack. I am considering what we are going to do with this grant. I'm not sure what the rationale was when this was approved for ten years. Keep in mind that unions do not hire nurses or determine their educational level. All of the nursing unions represent nurses with ADNs (like me) through anyone with an advanced degree in the bargaining unit. Dues are not based on educational level. I think if you really look at this program it is clearly the nurses and schools that have benefited. I think the issue that really struck me the last time the program presented at a board meeting was the fact that the average outstanding loan amount for these graduates was 20K, which I find to be a relatively small amount compared to most college debt these days. With a few years and hard work you can pay this off fairly quickly as a nurse. I think it's going to have to be like a lot of the other universities where tuition will have to be raised. This is difficult for me because I know how important nurses are to health care. We will see a lot shortage again at some point and there we will be. The hospitals would prefer to have unlicensed people at the bedside and I saw that experiment fail to the extent that it was fatal to patients! The girl who used to run the Slurppy Machine at the 7-11 is not someone you want drawing up insulin or giving a blood transfusion.

Subject: Re: nurses
Kim, as I understand it, this is a $1,000,000/yr GRANT program, not a loan. That's a $25,000 gift for each nursing student.
Unions need only execute a debt instrument with these nursing students, which includes a defined payback as a percentage of wages.
The unions benefit significantly from this program. They should be a natural sponsor.
Question: At what meeting did the alleged presentation referring to: "... the average outstanding loan amount for these graduates was 20K..."
I would like the audio recording to verify that. Let's get all our meetings on audio CD's and our website.

Since its' inception more than 320 registered nurses have graduated and the majority work locally.
Not true, as information in this thread reveals.

My report on the October 30, 2012 special meeting of the Sequoia Healthcare District re: Nursing Education Program
In attendance were:
Lynette Landry of SFSU and her associates,
Ron Galatolo, Chancellor of San Mateo County Community College and associates,
Glenna Vaslelis, CEO of Sequoia Hospital, and associates
Notably absent were representatives of the California Nurses Association, who I invited.
The presentation from the partners in the program quickly established a general concensus that the program was worthwhile.
My concerns as to whether all the graduates were employed as nurses were addressed by SFSU.
A Sequoia Hospital Nursing Supervisor was persuasive in characterizing the graduate nurses employed by the hospital (now only 60) as a cut above the rest with their modern skills and commitment.
Acknowledging the general success of the program in providing quality nurses in a global sense, I was able to steer the discussion to the relevant issue, how did the program benefit residents of the Sequoia Healthcare District. I was joined in this pursuit by Director Shefren.
The question of who would provide future financing of the program became the main issue. My questioning of the actual benefit to the Sequoia Healthcare District Community, addressed the issue of nurses who chose to work in the District, which is considerably less than 50%. Less than 20% of graduates are employed by Sequoia Hospital, a few are employed by Kaiser and SMCMC, a few are employed as school nurses whose salaries are likely paid for by the District. Nine are known to have gone to Palm Springs.
Directors Kane and Faro were quite clear in their support of continuing full funding of the program by the District regardless of where the nurses were employed. President Kim Griffin, a nurse, is highly likely to support continued funding.
A role for the Hospital Consortium in funding nurses training was suggested.
I suggested that the nurses pay back the cost of their education.
Lee Michelson, CEO of the SHCD, will coordinate efforts to identify alternative funding for the program. Lee, who managed golf tournaments which raised Millions for Ronald McDonald Charities, is a fundraising superstar.
Let's see if he can earn his $182,000 salary.
Interestingly, one of the big winners in the program was the SMCCCD. Ron Galatolo said the nursing program was very uplifting to the community college environment. I asked Ron if that might not translate into a fundraising opportunity for the SMCCC Foundation in support of the Nursing Program. That question deserves an answer, particularly since the College District has Foundation Executive Director, Stephani Scott, on the District payroll at $148,000/yr. Stephani plunked down $64,260 of Foundation money in the successful effort to ram the District's parcel tax (Measure G) down the taxpayer's throat!

Appended below is an update from SFSU on the employment status of nurses who have graduated from the program. Note a correction to the total number of graduates which is 253, not the 320 which I posted earlier. Bottom line is that less than 30% of graduates work in the District.
The following is an update on the Sequoia alumni from the survey and phone calls to our former students conducted in October of 2012. 58 students out of our 253 Sequoia graduates responded via the survey we emailed, the remaining 86 students responded via telephone survey. 64 students out of the 253 Sequoia graduates are currently employed at Sequoia Hospital- which is 25% of our graduates.
The following is a breakdown of where our Sequoia Alumni is working as of October 2012:
Sequoia Hospital - 64 students
Kaiser RWC - 5 students
El Camino Hospital - 2 students
Mission Hospice & Homecare in San Mateo - 1 student
Redwood City School District - 3 students
Belmont School District - 1 student
Kaiser out of area - 12 students
Stanford Hospital - 8 students
Mills Peninsula - 2 students
VA Palo Alto - 2 students
PAMF Pediatric Medical – 1 student
Lucille Packard - 1 student
Children's Hospital Oakland - 1 student
Military - 1 student
Out of bay area (work in nursing jobs) - 40 students

Sequoia Healthcare District spent $7,000,000 for the education of 280 nurses in the program who should have graduated by 2012. Only 253 are reported to have graduated. Of those, only 73 are working as nurses in the District. Since each received a subsidy of $25,000 from the oia Healthcare District, the total benefit to the community served by the District is $1,825,000. That means that $5,175,000 of property tax dollars left the District over the seven year period covered by the report from SFSU. Put another way, $739,000+ each year has been expended with no benefit to the community served by the District.
The District continues to claim that "One dollar and twenty-seven cents returned for every tax dollar collected"

An e-mail sent to Directors contained a correction of the request for District funding committments for the first two years. See page 6 of the proposal in agenda item 5A.
First year $408,907 s/b $470,237
Second year $519,698 s/b $597,653
This grossly misleading statement appears in the proposal on Page 4.:
"At least half of the Partnership's graduates are serving district residents at Sequoia Hospital as well as with organizations throughout the region such as San Mateo Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente Hospital Redwood City, Stanford Hospital and the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Mills Peninsula Health Services, the public school systems, assisted living centers, nursing care facilities, and many others"
Facts, from a previous post:

Also noteworthy is the fact that more than 30% of Sequoia Hospital's patients are not District residents.
The beneficiaries of this program are the Nurses, their union, the San Mateo County Community College District, SFSU and the employers of these nurses ( Sequoia Hospital, etc.). They should be funding the program, not taxpayers of the Sequoia Healthcare District.

Sequoia Healthcare District Boardmember, Katie Kane said: "Since its' inception more than 320 registered nurses have graduated and the majority work locally." Web Link
She was mistaken.
There were only 253 graduates out of 270 students who completed the course.
Monitors of the program report that only 144 graduates are recorded as being employed as nurses. Of those, Sequoia Hospital has 64, Kaiser RWC has 5 and schools in the District have 4.
Thirty percent of Sequoia Hospital patients reside outside the Sequoia Healthcare District. Kaiser RWC numbers are similar.
Only 70% of the service provided by those 69 nurses benefits District residents. That makes the total benefit to District residents 52.3 nurses. The 270 students who completed the course cost Sequoia Healthcare District taxpayers $6,750,000. In return we got $1,307,500 worth of nursing services.
In spite of these facts, the Sequoia Healthcare District Board of Directors approved continued funding of the program.
Here's their Press Release:
Feb. 8, 2013
Contact: Don Shoecraft • Sequoia Healthcare District • Public Information
REDWOOD CITY, CA/FEB. 6, 2013 — Directors of Sequoia Healthcare District and representatives of San Francisco State University (State) and the San Mateo County Community College District Wednesday reached agreement on a final three-year extension of a 10 year-old program that has allowed more than 250 nursing students to obtain advanced bachelor's degrees, with many returning to jobs within the Sequoia Healthcare District.
Annual support of $1 million from the district to the nursing baccalaureate partnership will be reduced by approximately half. State School of Nursing administrators said student tuition and fees for the program have been increasing for years. Three-year cost to Sequoia Healthcare District will be $1.69 million.
Demand for nurses in medical professions in California is cyclical. One of the reasons Sequoia Healthcare District directors reevaluated the program is the fact that demand has entered a down cycle while the 10 year-old contractual obligation of the district to fund the program was fixed at 40 students per year. The national economic recession is a major reason for this as retirement-age nurses with jobs are holding onto them longer.
The School of Nursing presented evidence that the cycle is on the brink of reversing, because as the economy improves, older nurses retire and Baby Boomers reach age 65 in the next few years the need for nurses may once again become critical.
At the time Sequoia Healthcare District created the program the district owned Sequoia Hospital, which could not find enough qualified nurses to fill available jobs. It has been extremely successful in meeting its goal. Ninety-five percent of bachelor's degree students have graduated, with 93 percent passing the National Council Licensure Examination compared to the state average of 89 percent.
More than half of partnership graduates serve district residents at Sequoia Hospital and at facilities such as San Mateo Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Redwood City, Stanford Hospital, Mills-Peninsula Health Services, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, public schools, assisted living centers, nursing care facilities and others.
The new agreement will pay 56 percent of student tuition for 32 students per year for three years.
Sequoia Healthcare District directors also agreed to form a subcommittee of the board to follow the program for a year and report periodically on its status.
In a subsequent statement the university commended Sequoia Healthcare District for its past and future support.
"SF State appreciates the Sequoia Healthcare District's ongoing support of nurse education. The district is visionary in recognizing the connection between first-rate education and first-rate patient care, and we are honored to be a partner in this effort," said Lynette Landry, RN, PhD; Director, San Francisco State University School of Nursing
Last on Wednesday's agenda was reorganization of the board. Gerald Shefren, M.D., was elected to a one-year term as board president, succeeding Kim Griffin, a pediatric cardiology nurse. Arthur Faro, retired chief executive of Sequoia Hospital, was elected vice-president. Director Katie Kane, a human services professional, was returned as board secretary.
Sequoia Healthcare District provides major funding to numerous non-profit community health organizations that directly assist more than 50,000 women, children and seniors in the district, which includes the cities of Atherton, Belmont, Menlo Park, Portola Valley, Redwood City, San Carlos, Woodside, and portions of San Mateo and Foster City from Skyline Boulevard to the Bay.

In response to the 2012-2013 Grand Jury regarding benefits accruing to District residents from it's Nursing Program,
the Sequoia Healthcare District said it "...has requested changes in admissions policies of its collaborative partners ... and has obtained changes that further favor district residents.
Here is an update from CEO Lee Michelson: "Just came back from a meeting with the Nursing Program regarding next cohort to start studying this September… 32 students of which 12 live in District and another 12 are other San Mateo County residents… the highest ranked applicant lives in San Carlos and the 3rd highest ranked lives in Portola Valley. The resident breakdown includes: 2 from san Carlos, 1 from PV, 4 from Belmont and 5 from RWC." That means only 37.5 % of these new students reside in the District.
The Grand Jury said: "Over the ten-year period, SHD provided $10 million for the program and $650,000 for a nursing lab at Cañada College. Three hundred fifty students graduated from the program." and, "The most recent information (10/12) shows approximately 50 alumni work in the County, 50 in the Bay Area, and 40 out of the area."
The District responded: "Approximately 50 percent of graduates who responded to a recent survey indicated that they have found jobs in healthcare settings utilized by District residents"
The Nursing Program should not be funded by District property owners.

Head Over Heels: Men's Spring Shoes

Spring style has never been so sexy. Never.

The air's getting warmer and we like it. With the promise of a hotter season on the wind, we've been in a fuss over the coming influx of all things spring. This time of year is a fevered one, and if you want to ensure you've got someone to share your fever with, we guarantee you'll need to look as fresh as that breeze feels. Sex appeal starts from the ground up, so our friends at Giorgio Brutini and GBX helped us throw together a visual guide to shoes that'll help put an extra spring in your step.
{"pbembedwidget":"gallery","id":"13704","size":"large","alignment":"left"} For a look as fresh as the new grass, there are three styles to check in on this spring.
First things first, who cares about a pair of Oxfords with colored soles? We do. And she does. Add some flash to that spring when you're stepping out on the weekend with a pair of Oxfords that's got a sole as exciting as its hide.
Next up: boat shoes, or loafers as generations past might know them, have been experiencing a graduated rebirth over the last few years. A few seasons ago, they were strobing with neon soles, but we prefer a more classic and relaxed look this time around.
Finally, for straight-up dress shoes, check out a subtle brogue and not-too-narrow pair in leather with luster. It's good to get fancy, but you don't always need patent leather and wingtips to fly.

Hey guys,thanks a lot for your feedback!@Julio: I tested serveral Canon cams and generally speaking i do like the quality
what puts me a bit off is the extremely "warm" (too much yellow) colors of them. Also it seems, that for jpg´s they use quite a heavy processing (adding a lot of contrast) and thats hard to get rid of later and i really won´t to bother with RAW.@Immersion: I tested this and some other Samsung camera´s and really have a problem with the image quality. They are great to use for quick results and FB posts but it really seems like Samsung is better in other technologies than cameras.@Pete: Thanks a lot for the detailed info! I have a Sony HX20 as a zoom camera and i do like it, but as you said image quality is not more than average. I use it when i´m on holiday and for that purpose it does shot good results. Thanks for the Ricoh tip
funny, just looked at my amazon account and realized it´s in my saved observing list Shame it does´t have at last a small optical zoom and the macro option isn´t very advanced I may give it a try and thanks amazon it´s easy to send it back if it´s not convincing. Greetings,Tomas

List of OpenGL Extensions supported at least partially by the Hardware but not by DRI driver
This list is probably incomplete.

radeon (with some limitations) how to do it on r100 related bug #4799
radeonregister header gives no indication that this extension is supportable on that hardware, but Apple supports it. SGIS_sharpen_texture: unichrome (?)
This would also need support in Mesa. The UniChrome Windows driver doesn't support this extension, but via_3d_reg.h (search for "_Sharp") has some register defines that appear to be for it. Some experimentation would be needed.

New Ponderosa skatepark planning begins
First design workshop set for next Wednesday
BEND, Ore. - The Bend Park and Recreation District and local skate group PUSH (Providing Urban Skate Habitats) have been working together for several months preparing for the development of a new skatepark at Ponderosa Park.
Now, the skatepark project is moving ahead to the design phase and the public is invited to join the process in a series of upcoming public meetings:
• Wednesday, March 6th: Skatepark Community Design Workshop 6:30 pm at BPRD District Office
• Late March date/time to be announced: Skatepark Community Design Presentation at BPRD District Office
• Tuesday, April 16th: Skatepark Design Presentation to Board of Directors 7:00 pm, during regular board meeting at BPRD District Office
The new skatepark is part of current Ponderosa Park renovations and will be located along the south end of Ponderosa Park near Wilson Avenue.
New parking, restrooms, picnic shelter, basketball courts, playground, trails and more are already under construction.
The existing, older skatepark at Ponderosa Park will remain for at least five years. Its best use will be considered during the design of the new skatepark.
Spohn Ranch has been selected to design and build the new skatepark through a competitive request for proposal process.
Spohn Ranch has designed and built over 500 skatepark projects in addition to partnering in high profile skateboard events such as the X Games and Dew Tour. For more information on Spohn Ranch, visit www.spohnranch.com.
The first public workshop will begin the skatepark design process. Anticipated to take about five weeks, the design phase will culminate on Tuesday, April 16th with a presentation to the Board of Directors.
The final design will be based on public input, site opportunities and constraints, and budget, officials said Friday.
A total of $240,000 has been budgeted for construction of the new skate park. BPRD has budgeted $200,000 for construction and an additional $18,500 for planning. PUSH will contribute the remaining $40,000 for construction through cash and in-kind donations from a community fundraising effort.
It is expected that the skatepark will be under construction in early July and completed by fall.
Opportunities for community members to be involved include:
• Attending and providing input at the public design meetings.
• Following the project and offering feedback via Facebook at www.facebook.com/PonderosaSkatepark.
• Helping PUSH with fundraising. Additional information on PUSH is available at www.facebook.com/PushOfOregon.
For additional information on the Ponderosa Park Skatepark, visit www.bendparksandrec.org or contact Matt Mercer, Director of Recreation, firstname.lastname@example.com or (541) 706-6103.

Morning all... Yesterday around noon I was tagged on my thumb while working my top bar hive. I was holding a bar at the time and it took a good 30 seconds or more to put the bar back in place, so I got a pretty full load of venom. Finished up, then took a benedryl.
At first, there was just some localized redness. After a few hours, the nearest joint became sore with some slight swelling and generalized itchiness in the immediate area. By bedtime, the sting spot became a slightly raised reddish bump.
This morning, the sting site looks more like a blood blister.
And the swollen, itchy area has expanded to the base of my thumb on the palm side and most of the back of my hand (enclosed in blue).
Also my wrist and elbow seem a little sore.
Is this within the range of a normal bee sting reaction, or should I be a bit more concerned?
Thanks - Bruce

Bye week also equals Home Playoff Game.
you gus do realize we need to win out to make the playoffs, right?
*Seattle can get the wildcard if they go 2-1 winning both of their nfc games, and we go 2-1 with the loss being to an NFC team. Even then, it will come down to strength of victory. Which is up in the air at this point.
So while winning out would be ideal, we have a very good chance to make it at 10-6. We could very realistically win the division at 10-6, if not we would have a VERY good chance at the wildcard. At 9-7, were kinda screwed. Need 10

Winterfest will include fireworks display
This year, Crosslake Winterfest will feature fireworks at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1, behind the community center.
The Crosslake City Council approved the fireworks at its regular monthly meeting Monday, Jan. 14.
Jon Henke, director of parks, recreation and library, reported that an area will be fenced off from spectators where the fireworks will be fired off, and the area will be searched the next day for any shells that may not have exploded.
Zambelli fireworks carries a $10 million insurance policy, Henke reported, and the city is additionally insured.
Dean Kuhn of Zambelli said that the shell firing site is safe, and that everyone thinks fireworks look brighter and louder in the crisp, cold air.
Jessica Eide, Moonlite Bay owner and Winterfest coordinator, thanked the city, Henke and other contributors for their support of the Winterfest activities.
In other business Monday, the council:
• Approved a plan to install a street light at the southeast corner of County Road 66 and Eagle Pass.
• Read a letter to the council from Crosslake Community School fourth-grader Parker Moan, requesting the council talk about the new school property. Mayor Darrell Schneider reported that the school has filed all necessary paperwork to the state for all site options and is waiting for a response.
• Approved an engineering plan for 2013 roads projects. These include a portion of Bonnie Lakes Road, among other projects.
• Agreed to allow public works director Ted Strand to purchase more sand. The city is low on sand and salt following rain events. As more salt is not available, the city will cut the salt-sand mixture it has with more sand.
• Heard a permit summary from the planning and zoning department. In total, the planning and zoning department issued 441 permits in 2012, with a valuation of $8,823,326. This compares with the 357 permits sold in 2011, with a valuation of $5,658,934.

Solano County has joined a growing list of improving housing markets, a national home building industry spokesman said.
Napa County is likely not far behind, Washington, D.C.-based National Association of Home Builders economist Robert Denk said this week.
Though not necessarily in good health yet, two-thirds of the markets the association tracks "have turned the corner and are improving," Denk said.
"The purpose (of The National Association of Home Builders / First American Improving Markets Index) is to draw attention to the fact that many local markets in the country are actually doing well," Denk said. "It's to focus on some of the markets doing a lot better than the national market."
Denk said that 361 major markets nationwide are tracked in three categories over at least six months -- the number of single-family building permits, home prices and payroll employment figures. Employment growth figures come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, housing price appreciation from Freddie Mac and single-family housing permit growth from the U.S. Census Bureau, he said.
The index started in September, 2011 with 12 markets meeting the improvement criteria. That number has since climbed to 242. Solano joined the list in December, he said.
"The Vallejo and Napa areas are very similar markets," Denk said. "The real difference is the amount of building activity. Both have been fairly depressed. Vallejo edged Napa out, but I wouldn't be a surprised if Napa made the list in the coming months."
The Vallejo area, which once averaged 2,000 housing starts annually, hit bottom in early 2008, when it dropped to 77 starts. Building activity "has been hovering at just below 500 since 2008 and has proceeded at a 4.6 percent annual rate since then," he said.
Home prices here bottomed out early 2012 and have risen 3.9 percent since then, Denk said.
"What we've seen generally, is a false bottom was reached in 2009, followed by a dip in 2011," he said. "Most of the markets that have risen since then have been able to maintain (the gains) and we're confident the improvement is real."
Solano County's payroll employment figures hit a low of 115,000 through 2010 and most of 2011, Denk said. It has since moved above 120,000 "and has been resting comfortably there since the second half of 2011 and continues to trend up," he said.
The index rose for a fifth consecutive month in January, according to an agency press release. This is up from 201 markets listed as improving in December, and includes entrants from 48 states and the District of Columbia, the release notes.
A total of 47 new metros were added to the list and six were dropped from it this month, agency officials said.
"Today, 242 out of 361 metros nationwide appear on (the) list, including representatives from almost every state in the country," association chairman Barry Rutenberg said in the statement. "The story is no longer about exceptions to the rule, but about the growing breadth of the housing recovery even as overly strict mortgage requirements hold back the pace of improvement."

text: I placed an answer to a question and wish to retract what I said. I checked into the use of just plain grease patties all year long. After discussing this with a few old timers I found this is a very common practice, especially in this area. In this area it is the general consensus is that trachea mites have been the cause for winter kills more so than varroa destructor. What does everyone else think?

Oh, Extra prayers for Isa. Good news on Bram.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Oh, Extra prayers for Isa. Good news on Bram.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Anael--sorry to hear about Isa, hoping that she gets better soon and that both have good reports tomorrow.
Here a some pictures of a quilt top I get to work on this spring. I was asked by one of my kids' archery coaches to finish it (it was made by a family member of his wife, he isn't sure who). There are red borders on just two sides. My plan is to tie it...I am open to suggestions though. The person I am finish it for just said "I know nothing about quilting so do it the way it should be done"...any help is appreciated as I have never tied a quilt, but sure I can figure it out.
Anael - so sorry to hear about Isa's problem! I hope Bram stays healthy and does not get Isa's condition too! I check this thread first thing when I log onto the computer to get the updates on the twins. Thank you so much for keeping us posted.
Wow, Carrie, that is an amazing quilt! I can see how difficult a job it would be to pick any type of quilting design, as you don't want to take away from the fabrics. I looks like it is done in square shapes, maybe you could SITD on those squares only????
"You have enough quilts made when your soul is filled, your creativity satisfied and your fingers just won't work anymore."
Carrie...that quilt is beautiful! I'm sure that YouTube has videos for tying quilts. Depending on how much flannel Mirabelle is sending and how many $$$$s you get, maybe we could consider getting some flannel with a cute little boy print for Mick since he's being such a big help. He's living through a major crisis in his young life and it might encourage him.
Anael...sorry about the news of Isa but praying she will respond and strengthen. Also that you will feel better. This has to be so worrisome for you!
Well, it's done. I remember when we started this quilt that I was so excited to find fabric with ponies all over it. Well, this city gal found out they were donkeys. My friends still call this my "donkey quilt" (sorry, Laurie LOL). I have the donkey block front and center in the 3rd row. I also fussy cut donkeys for some of the cornerstones altho they're a little hard to see. Now I get to sit back in the virtual RV and munch on cinnamon buns and nag, I mean, encourage all of yinz to finish.
Imagine all the people living life in peace...(John Lennon 1940-1980)
Anael, thanks for the update on the twins...big hugs from everyone in the virtual RV to you, your son and DIL.
Carrie, to tie a quilt is very easy to do....IF you can find a darning needle with a big eye and and pointed sharp end. I failed here to find one in any store, finally found my in a box of crochet thread where I last had it. Craft needles and doll needles do not work. You can use 6-strand embroidery floss or light weight yarn as the thread to 'tie' it. Use about 18" of thread at a time in your needle, enter on one side of the corner of the block and exit in the adjoining block, about an inch or inch and a quarter apart and double tie in a hard knot over the gap between entering and exiting of the yarn or floss. You can choose to make the enter/exit of yarn across the quilt, keeping the underneath smooth or until the needle runs out of yarn...then go back and clip between each to tie over the corners of the block. Quick and easy if you have the darning needle. I tried everything for two days in AIK's throw, got two rows done; but when I found the right needle, I finished in two hours or less. Did many a bed quilt on the bed with DGM in the old days...with heavy crochet thread. Did BIL's lilac quilt with heavy crochet thread last year. Good luck. Traditionally, the ties are about four to eight inches apart, depending on what is in the middle as batting, we often used old blankets in the good old days.
Jan, it's so beautiful, even with donkey's What you're going to do with it? Keep it for yourself?

QNS, old blankets? Woolen ones? I saw some at Goodwill but they're asking insane prices for them. At least I think it's insane. Somewhere between $ 15 and $ 20 per blanket!

Love the PC quilt, JanRN. I think you are the First to post on our PC quilt!! You were ahead of my posting by about 30 seconds. My FWSQ is done in Des Moines and plans are to pick it up on the fourth of February, depending on the weather. Putting my blocks together on PC as soon as I finish the slashing work...working on weeks 18 to 30 currently. And want to use the BBs in my quilt 'cause it will stay at my house for awhile for me to enjoy it!!

"Magnificat," originally a liturgical song taken from the Bible (Luke I: 46-55), formed part of the ancient service of Vespers in the medieval Roman rite. Inspired by "Magnificat" composed by J. S. Bach, Rutter's version was first performed in 1990 at Carnegie Hall.
Rutter, whose compositions are chiefly choral and include Christmas carols and anthems, was hailed by NBC's "Today Show" as "the world's greatest living composer and conductor of choral music."
