Beginning November 14th, the new dialing procedure requires that when making a local call in Connecticut you dial the area code plus the 7 digit local number (for example: 860-455-5555). If you do not use the new dialing procedure your call will not be completed and you will receive a recording instructing you to hang up and dial again.

Cellphone calls are no exception. Calls outside the local calling area will still need a 1 before the area code, while local calls will require 10-digit dialing, without the 1.

For further information on 10-digit dialing and the new area codes, click on the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control’s “Get ready to change the way you dial in Connecticut” link.

Invisible China: A Journey Through Ethnic Borderlands
by Colin Legerton and Jacob Rawson
Chicago Review Press, 2009

In this eloquent and eye-opening adventure narrative, Colin Legerton and Jacob Rawson, two Americans fluent in Mandarin Chinese, Korean, and Uyghur, throw away the guidebook and bring a hitherto unexplored side of China to light. They journey over 14,000 miles by bus and train to the farthest reaches of the country to meet the minority peoples who dwell there, talking to farmers in their fields, monks in their monasteries, fishermen on their skiffs, and herders on the steppe.
