Census of Population and Housing, 1980 [United States]: P.L. 94-171 Population Counts (ICPSR 7854)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
These data files provide population counts for racial and ethnic groups living in all the jurisdictions of the states in the United States in 1980. These data were produced as part of the Census Bureau's commitment under Public Law 94-171 to aid states' legislatures in the redistricting process. Public Law 171 of the 94th Congress was passed in 1975 to help facilitate the one-man-one-vote concept enunciated in 1963. It specifies procedures for conducting the decennial census for those states wishing to participate and makes improvements for reporting the findings as well. As a result of this law, the Census Bureau was authorized to prepare for each state a data file that contains population counts for racial and ethnic groups living in all the jurisdictions of the state. Each of these files contains summary statistics for seven population groups/types: Whites, Blacks, American Indians, Eskimos and Aleuts, Asians and Pacific Islanders, Spanish-Hispanics, total population, and population of other races. Each record in each of the files is a type of census reporting area arranged in hierarchical order. There are 51 data files, one for each of the states plus one for Washington, DC. Each of the files has the same format of 156-character logical records with characters 1-100 containing identification data and the alphabetic name of the record and characters 101-156 containing the data for the seven population groups/types. Data are provided for states or state equivalent, counties or county equivalent, minor civil divisions (MCDs) or census county divisions (CCDs), incorporated places, election precincts or their equivalent (if any), census tracts or block numbering areas (BNAs) (if any), and block groups and blocks in blocked areas, or enumeration districts in nonblock-numbered areas. The Census Bureau has produced a file, User Note No.#2 (Part 90), to accompany the PL94-171 series that documents a problem encountered in all but nine states in the series. The nine states NOT affected are Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The file contains a list of places split across counties or MCD/CCDs that have two partial records but do not have a "part" indicator on either record. Because of the omission of this part indicator, it is not possible to connect the two parts of the same record (place) for analysis purposes without the User Note No.#2 that allows researchers to identify these places and use the data for them more easily. There are 5,971 records (split places) in the file, each with a logical record length of 48.

|Elena Danilochkina literally shot down the opposition, finishing the tournament on 55 per cent three-point shooting
Russia guard Elena Danilochkina was named as the Most Valuable Player of EuroBasket Women 2011 after sparking her country to a third championship in eight years.
The 25-year-old emerged as her team's most influential player in Poland, shooting over 50% from the field to lead the Russians in scoring while hitting 18 points in both the quarter and semi-finals.
"Elena's young but she's a great player," praised team-mate Maria Stepanova.
"Sometimes when we need it, she tells us to get going. At other times, she gets us to slow down and be patient and play smart. She's become the new leader of our team."
Danilochkina was joined on the All-Tournament Team - which, like the MVP prize, is decided by votes from the media - by Stepanova, with the veteran centre picking up a third European gold medal.
Turkey centre Nevriye Yilmaz, a huge force in her nation's run to their first major final, is also on the team as well as Croatian guard Sandra Mandir, who averaged 14.3 points per game to guide her country to fifth place.
EuroBasket Women's top five is rounded out by Czech forward Eva Viteckova whose head coach Lubor Blazek praised her contribution.
"Eva's a three-point threat," he said. "She's a great defender. She's just been a critical player for us."

Factors such as food, inhalant and environmental allergies, as well as everyday stressors can lead many animals to believe that they are under attack from their own skin. Constant itching, licking, pulling out fur (including "bald belly syndrome"), self-biting and in cats, Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome are too often the result. Spirit Essences Skin Soother flower formula helps to break the cycle of anxiety and balance the energy system, allowing the healing to begin from the inside out.
Jackson Galaxy Spirit Essence flower remedies are not like medicines or drugs and need not be swallowed; once the drops contact the animal, they are doing their job.
Easy Ways to Administer Spirit Essences
You want your animal companion to think of the remedy as a good thing, so never try to force it. Use one of the alternate methods if your animal does not like its mouth to be handled. See below for instructions on administering Jackson Galaxy SpiritEssences.
Provide soothing relief for your pet with Jackson Galaxy Spirit Essences Skin Soother.
Available in 1 oz and 2 oz liquid.
Review Rating: 4.5
Country of Origin: USA
Manufacturer: Spirit Essences
Ingredients - Pure Eldorado Natural Spring Water, flower and other essences*, ethanol (as a preservative), Reiki energy, and Full Spectrum Light.
*Includes a blend of the following: Crab Apple, Walnut, Dandelion, Environmental Remedy, Cat's Claw, Prickly Pear, White Eagle, Mosquito, Mountain Pool, Noni, Pink Seaweed, Rainbow Kelp, Lotus, Orange, Pink Fairy Orchid.
Suggested Use
For most behavioral or emotional problems, we recommend starting with 3 or 4 times a day, for 2 weeks. Once improvement is established, usually within 2-4 weeks, you can wean the animal off by gradually decreasing the frequency of administration. A few animals may need to remain on essence treatment long term. Adding a few drops to the drinking water, or once-a-day administration by mouth, will probably be adequate. We have also found that most animals will also benefit from long-term administration of a maintenance formula.
In cases where the problem is mild, or had an acute cause, such as death of a companion or a move to a new house you may only need to use the prescription a few times before the problem is solved. In that case, the prescription may be discontinued.
For situations where you can catch the animal when it is doing the problem behavior, giving the prescription at that moment may be especially helpful. For instance, if the problem is compulsive licking, give the prescription when you see the animal licking, either by mouth or topically (as long as the skin is not raw or irritated) so that the animal licks the drops off its skin.
Remember that SpiritEssences are not treating specific behaviors, but rather the emotional or energetic imbalances underlying them. By helping the animal feel happier and more secure, we increase the likelihood that behavioral problems will be correspondingly diminished or eliminated. While no treatment can be guaranteed to work 100% for every single case, it is a very rare animal that does not noticeably respond to SpiritEssences.
Try not to let the dropper contact anything that can cause contamination when the dropper is put back in the bottle. However, if this occurs, simply rinse the dropper in hot running water before replacing it in the bottle.
If you are treating only one animal in a multi-animal household, it is perfectly all right to put the prescription in the common drinking water. It will not adversely affect the other animals, and may even be beneficial if those particular essences are also appropriate for them. If several animals in a household are being given different essence combinations, administer the drops by mouth or topically around the head and ears. For some of our formula sets, a base formula is given in the common drinking water, and specific formulas are given to each animal individually.

Sadly did not work for my kitty
By Kenda
from Orlando, FL
I really really wanted this to work as I am desperate. My cat has a severe flea allergy and since I live in Florida it is nearly impossible to keep fleas off her. I was hoping using this product would at least help her sores heal and calm her down, but it sadly didn't. I used one entire bottle and nothing. That doesn't mean others shouldn't try it. It's always worth a try.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Skin Soother
By Kitty Mom
from Oxford, AL
My beautiful white and gray Ragamuffin began developing a strange twitching where is skin would just ripple up and down his back and his tail would twitch like a squirrel. At first I thought it was allergy related and my vet took him off anything with grain in it. He settled down some. Then my vet said it might be Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome, or "twitchy cat disease." She wanted to try a drug on him, but I wanted to wait to see if I could find anything natural, and I did--this Skin Soother by Spirit Essences. I couldn't be happier with it. I use 3-4 drops around his ears if they start twitching worse than normal. For his daily protocol, I boiled a small amount of water, cooled it, and filled a 2 oz. spray bottle halfway with the water, and added a full dropperful of the Skin Soother. I spray 3 or 4 sprays on his soft hair brush, then brush it all through his coat. I have used this daily for over a year now, and his nervous distress is in control with no need for a drug.

Skin Soother Didn't Help

By Cindi n Cricket
from Whidbey Island Wa
We have tried everything under the sun and I got results from this product.My cat had chewed a large spot on his belly and the vet gave him predisone and when that was completed back came the large spot on the belly. I bought this out of desperation and have gotten the results I was hoping for.

Just bought a 2nd bottle
By Ca-poodle's Parents
from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Our 10-year old short hair cow cat began licking and biting off her fur when we began adding an extension to our home a year ago, now it's a habit - and a bad one at that. We took her to the vet and she has no fleas, etc. It started on her belly and is now gone onto her chest and limbs - - she looks like a poodle. We apply the drops to her front leg/shoulder and she licks it off, but wrinkles her nose at the smell. This product has made her WAY less intense at removing the fur and we even have some hair growth! We have also found that she is MUCH calmer, doesn't complain when you pet or brush her, eats better and now rarely vomits (what a plus!) We hoped that this product would help and it has. We believe that with continued use, our cow cat will break this habit.
By pocohontas442
from syracuse, NY
I put it in my palm and rub it down my cats spine , where he has been pulling his back bald. There is no smell or residue, I let the cat lick it. I guess it's working, he's still licking overly excessive, but not pulling his spine fur.
Still Trying It - seems to be working
By Moon
from Honolulu, Hawaii
I need to wait until the bottle is finished, but it seems to be working and appears to be making "Moon" calmer. He lost his long time partner, Zamba Oct. 2 and has been having a hard time being without her.Thank you.

Just what the feline needed!
By Forever Grateful!!!
from Atlanta, GA
Fast acting in treating compulsively licking cats who have licked hair off of their underside and extremities. Administered the product orally and the cat seemed content with the flavor of it. The hair began to fill in after a week as the cat decreased the excessively licking habit. I have tried other products to no success. This one is wonderful!!!

By Cat Lady

My black cat Mouse has licked the fur off his left hip area and paws and tummy. The product has helped alot. The fur is growing back ( slowly ) and he seems to be licking less. The vet did nothing to help remedy this situation, so I turned to Only Natural Pet for help. Thanks guys! Laurie

Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, announced Saturday that he will not seek re-election for his term expiring in 2014.
Harkin said in a statement that his decision was twofold: to fulfill a promise that he made to his wife and, after 40 years as a congressman and senator, to "make way for someone new" to fill his Senate seat.
"I'm 73 years old right now. At the end of this term I'll be 75," Harkin said in the statement. "When the current Congress is over, I will have served in the United States House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate for a total of 40 years. After 40 years, I just feel it's somebody else's turn."
Harkin continued, "I came to Washington with a simple goal: help people. It was that goal that has inspired me throughout my career and one that will continue to inspire my work."
In early December, Harkin said that the retirement deficit crisis prompted him to recently pen a report, "The Retirement Crisis and a Plan to Solve It", which includes a proposal to provide universal access to pension plans called Universal, Secure and Adaptable (USA) Retirement Funds.
Harkin said that he intends to put his report "in bill form" when the new Congress convenes in January. A spokesperson for Harkin's office told AdvisorOne on Friday that bill would likely be introduced sometime in February. Harkin's plan will be two-pronged: USA Retirement Funds—which he described as innovative, privately run, hybrid pension plans that incorporate many of the benefits of traditional pensions while substantially reducing the burden on employers—as well as expanding Social Security benefits by $65 per month.
During his next two years in Congress, Harkin said he would also work to advance the following:
• Moving forward with bills to ensure that all Americans are able to achieve the promise of a quality education—beginning in early childhood, continuing through elementary and high school, and culminating with higher education.
• Working to significantly increase the employment of individuals with disabilities, in order to continue to fulfill the promise of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
• Ensuring the successful implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
As an appropriator and as chair of the Appropriations subcommittee that funds health, education and labor, Harkin says that he would ensure these initiatives have the funding necessary for implementation. So too, he says, he would he continue to advance farm policy that advocates for farmers markets and increased local production and marketing of food.

Picking up what's been laid down - 60's British r+b, early boogie blues, 80's hardcore and punk rock - and taking it someplace else. The Pattern don't emulate some past's style, they make the future.
"Wet Circuit City" consists of two star-burst blurts of Pattern energy. "Breakfast" is a punk boogie number replete with tambourines, maracas and back-up oohs. "Sunned Things Speak" is a rumbling brash song sung slippery, played with intensity. This is The Pattern's second seven inch single, after six months of playing to packed Bay Area clubs and parties. Their music explodes from some place south of the ironic Rawk Revival but north of Ex-Emo Exploration. The Pattern are five boys with something in mind and a checkered past that includes time in bands like THE PEECHEES, ST. JAMES INFIRMARY, TALK IS POISON, and NUISANCE.
The Bay Area has always been known for having a strong underground music scene. So strong in fact, and with so many good bands from the area or just touring through that locals often take it for granted. That?s why it takes a lot for a band from the area to really shake things up. Well, my friends, that new band has arrived. They are from Oakland, they are a furiously tight fivesome and they are called The Pattern.
Just six months old, The Pattern has already left a permanent scar on the area with their fervent blend of rock and roll, pop, psychedelia and fun. They have a totally new sound and look. Something raw and loud and flashy. Ya, they all played in various other popular bands, and are known as having an "all star" line-up, but that does not matter, What does matter is that they put on a crazy live show, produce catchy songs and make you wanna dance.

Story highlights
- Technology isn't killing off courtship as much as it's redefining what it looks like
- A new generation is adopting digital models for romantic communication
- Student: "A lot of our relationship has been e-mailing and texting and Facebook messaging"
- Video producer: Mystery associated with romance is "not as strong as it used to be"
When it comes to romance, texting is often seen as a bare-minimum form of communication. It's fine for firming up Wednesday night dinner plans, but for expressing heartfelt sentiments? Not so much.
That was made pretty clear last week when reality TV star Kristin Cavallari had to defend her fiancé, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, from those who poked fun at her story of their second engagement.
"I was in the airport, leaving Chicago," Cavallari, 26, tells E! News in an upcoming reality special about her nuptials. "We had just spent however many days together and we were texting and somehow it came up, like, 'Oh, shall we get married?' We're like, 'Yeah, OK.'"
The couple were first engaged in 2011 but split up briefly before reconciling that same year. Even so, Cutler faced criticism over what many saw as a too casual digital proposal. Cavallari later pleaded on Twitter for people to "stop bashing Jay" because he had proposed earlier in Mexico "and it was very romantic."
In the digital age, technology isn't killing courtship. But for many young couples, it's redefining what romance looks like.
These days we often text instead of speak, use FaceTime instead of having face-to-face discussions and zip through online dating profiles with the same speed it takes to order a pizza. Convenient, sure, but "The Notebook" it's not.
These habits have many wondering if technology is getting in the way of real romance. But let's be honest: How many of us have gotten into a heated, or just plain hot, text exchange with a love interest? Chances are, many of the messages saved in your phone are more intimate than your standard pillow talk.
From AOL to OKCupid
Since the early days of the Internet, we've used tech as a tool to broaden our prospects for meeting others and finding romance. We've come a long way since those AOL chat rooms, and even traditional dating sites are giving way to smartphone apps that can do the matchmaking for us. Using your phone's GPS feature, mobile social apps such as Blendr, Grindr, Are You Interested? and Plenty of Fish help you zero in on potential dates, or hook-ups, right around the corner.
For the daring, OkCupid recently launched a Russian Roulette-style app called CrazyBlindDate, which sets users up on short notice with someone they know almost nothing about.
It's not exactly the romanticized version of a fateful meeting, wherein you find your soul mate at spin class or in line for a movie matinee.
"Those really romantic scenarios are kind of diluted nowadays," said Philip Wang, co-founder of Wong Fu Productions, a new-media production company based in Southern California that creates short films and video blogs. Wang and his colleagues created a video series called "Technology Ruins Romance," which makes light of the ways technology could easily solve dilemmas that have been held up as "romantic" obstacles.
The idea came from watching "rom-coms where you're sitting there thinking, 'things could've been totally solved if he took out his cell phone, or just messaged her on Facebook,'" says Wang, 28. "I understand that movies are meant to escape reality, but even just for fun, you could say, wait, why isn't he just calling her instead of showing up outside of her door and surprising her?"
A lot of the mystery we've typically associated with romance is "not as strong as it used to be," Wang said.
The power of Facebook
Some young single people today would rather have information than mystery. When Jason Austin, a 29-year-old IT professional, was skeptical of a potential date he'd met online, he did what anyone who's seen an episode of "Catfish" (or just has plain common sense) would do: He turned to Facebook.
"I wanted to know something about her, I can't say that I'm not nosy," said Austin, who lives in Pontiac, Michigan. "I didn't feel comfortable with the information she was telling me. I would text her, possibly when I get off work, I would give her a call and she wouldn't answer, [but] she would text me in the morning and say 'Hey, how was your day yesterday?' It made me kind of suspicious. So in that particular situation, I Googled her."
On her Facebook page, Austin could see "friends of friends," which allows one to see so much more information, he said. "If you read the comments, you can find out details about that picture, which tells you details about that person."
There can be drawbacks to this Facebook sleuthing, said Dr. Corinne Weisgerber, an associate professor of communication at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas. Brushing up on someone's background pre-date means you could skip over some of those foundational moments of discovery in person, she said.
But for Michelle Granoski of La Grange, Kentucky, digital tools enhanced her courtship with Shawn Granoski, the man who would become her husband.
She came across Shawn's profile on dating site Plenty of Fish and warmed to his photo, which showed him wearing a Mario T-shirt under a black blazer. She messaged him to strike up a conversation.
He is not a big phone person and only wanted to talk over AOL instant messenger. Granoski, 26, went along with it after looking him up on Facebook and liking what she found.
"I Facebooked him, and it actually did help. ... If I were to discover his favorite color online, I don't think I would've had any different reaction than I would've had in person," she said. After chatting online for two weeks, Shawn drove down from Louisville to meet Granoski while she was a student at Western Kentucky University. Soon they were taking turns driving to see each other, and tied the knot three years later.
Romance, on Skype
Although meeting in person will always be essential, the concept of romance has evolved to the point where weeks of instant messaging or e-mailing can plant seeds of a relationship.
That's been the case for 20-year-old Cristina Lara, a Cornell University student who relies on Skype and e-mail to nurture her long-distance relationship with her boyfriend, Joshua Mbanusi, while he's working in North Carolina. From the beginning, their courtship was carried out through digital means.
Lara's boyfriend, a Cornell alum, asked for her e-mail address instead of her number at first. While some might have taken that as a hint of disinterest, Lara recognized that the frequent, friendly e-mails were his way of showing he liked her. Eventually, he asked for her number, and they went on their first date about a month later.
"A lot of our relationship has been e-mailing and texting and Facebook messaging," said Lara, adding that she's kept as mementos a lot of their e-mails and texts -- some of which were unfortunately erased. The couple spent copious amounts of time together, giving their virtual courtship a real-world backbone.
So, when her boyfriend revealed that he loved her via text, it wasn't ideal. But it wasn't a deal breaker, either.
"Before class started I got a text from him that said, 'I love you,' " she said. "He wanted it to be as organic as possible. It's unfortunate that it happened when we weren't physically together, but what are you going to do about it?"
His text was, interestingly enough, sparked by a lengthy letter Lara had handwritten and left in his apartment. She believes that a handwritten note can communicate things an e-mail cannot.
When it comes to romance, "I think there's a level of flirtatiousness that helps to sustain a relationship, and that's what I had every day with Joshua in person," Lara said.
Now that they're long distance, the pair makes an effort to fly to see each other when they can. But in the interim, "for me and Josh, being romantic is having one night a week where [we're] eating together on Skype," she said. "I think that's really romantic."

The nine states
I also love my mother-in-law, Sarah. She had a birthday at the end of August, and it was a big one, the kind that ends with a zero, and feels important. To celebrate, she and my father-in-law rented a house on the beach in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and invited their four kids (plus three spouses, an almost-spouse, and a 17-month old grandson) to join them for a long weekend. Sarah claimed it was a birthday gift to herself, on account of getting to spend a few days with all of us. That's what she wanted most, she said. But I don't know. With barbeques in the evenings, and early-morning sits on a seaside bench, and a knit hat that Sarah made and gifted to me, it kind of felt more like my birthday. Which, knowing Sarah, would no doubt make her very happy.
Eli and I arrived in Narragansett to a fully stocked kitchen. It was no surprise, given Sarah's habit of traveling with enough food to feed a small army. There was meat in the fridge, fruit on the counter, potatoes blanching in a pot on the stove, and an enormous bag of kettle corn – something called Angie's Kettle Corn – on the table. I eyed it warily. I think that I probably feel about large packages of food the way my cousin, Michelle, once felt about presents. Michelle's in college now, but as a child, when it came time to open holiday gifts, she once burst into tears when confronted with a box half the size of her little body. I remember her wailing, "It's too biiiiig!" She refused to open it. I didn't get it. But now, I do. I get it, Michelle. There is something about industrial-sized packages of food – even very good food – that makes me feel the exact same way. It's simply too much. It's sensory overload, or the anticipation of sensory overload, or something. The summer before I went away to college, I worked as a waitress, and once a week it was my job to fill the ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise jars from the bulk containers in the walk-in fridge. It's a task that I wouldn't wish on anyone. Have you ever stared into the gloppy depths of a 5-gallon tub of mayonnaise? I was mildly terrified, and it was thanks only to many slow, deep breaths that I made it through. I swore off condiments for a while after that.
A bloated bag of kettle corn's got nothing on a giant vat of mayo, so when Sarah pulled open the package and pointed it in my general direction, I went for it. I am very brave. What I would discover over the next few days is that there is a reason for packaging this kettle corn in bags the size of overstuffed bed pillows. Unlike mayonnaise, kettle corn – this particular kettle corn, anyway – can and should be eaten by the handful. By the handsful, actually. Pack it up in bags any smaller, and you'd have little more than a single serving, barely enough to share. I would know, seeing as how I plowed through almost the entire bag all by myself during our stay. Eli and I visited his family again last weekend, and this time, Sarah had procured three bags (good lord!) for my – ahem, our – consumption. "I've never seen you snack like this," my sister-in-law said. "It's research," I told her.
Research, indeed. The thing is, when you start in on this kettle corn, you don't much feel like stopping. That's all well and good if you happen to live in a place where Angie's Kettle Corn is readily available. If only we all could be so lucky. Which brings us back to the residents of the nine states I called out at the beginning of this post, the states that, according to the company website, are bereft of Angie's Kettle Corn. I could have moved – preferably to Minnesota to be close to company headquarters – but instead, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I did it for you. For us.
Kettle corn is, in theory, not all that exciting. It's just sugared popcorn dusted with salt. Except there's nothing "just" about it. The sugar melts in the hot oil and, as it cools, encases each popped kernel in a thin, glassy shell. Then comes the salt, and it's so long! to whatever else you were planning on eating that day. I have skipped dinner exactly twice over the last month due to kettle corn overconsumption. I'm not proud; I just thought you should know. Consider it a warning. It's the sweet and salty combination that does it. And the crunch doesn't hurt. The effect is hypnotic. After a handful or two, I'm in a full-on kettle corn trance. Scoop. Eat. Repeat.
I hesitated to include that last photograph, given that it's not a particularly flattering shot of my thighs. But the kettle corn looks damn good, and I know what really matters.
Kettle Corn
Inspired by Angie's Kettle Corn
The only thing that could get in the way of a perfect batch of kettle corn is a layer of burnt kernels along the bottom of the pot. That's true of all popcorn, to be sure, but the sugar in kettle corn heightens the risk. Here are two tips to keep your kettle corn from burning:
1. Remove the pot from the heat sooner than you normally would.
Over the years, I have refined my popcorn popping skills so that I end up with very few unpopped kernels at the bottom of the batch. Twice in my life I have actually popped every last one of those suckers, without scorching a single kernel. Those were big days for me, people. Big. But when it comes to kettle corn, I check my pride at the kitchen door, and I urge you to do the same. The sugar will burn before the popcorn, so if you wait until (what is typically) the very last moment to remove the pot from the heat, it will probably be too late. When the popping slows considerably – if you can count more than a second, two seconds, maximum, between pops – get that pot off of the flame! You'll end up with more unpopped kernels at the bottom of the pot, but it's a small price to pay for unscathed kettle corn.
2. Transfer the kettle corn immediately from the hot pot to a large bowl.
If you don't, the sugar at the bottom of the pot will continue to cook, and might burn.
Most recipes for kettle corn – and popcorn, in general – call for some kind of vegetable oil, but I've been popping corn in olive oil for years. I like the stronger flavor, and I think it's especially lovely in this sweet and salty recipe.
¾ c. corn kernels
1/3 c. olive oil (not extra-virgin), or enough to thickly coat the bottom of a large pot
¼ c. granulated sugar
Several generous pinches (about ½ tsp.) sea salt
Heat the oil and a couple of kernels in a large covered pot. Meanwhile, measure the corn kernels and sugar into a bowl so that you're ready for a quick dump. When you hear the test kernels pop, remove the lid, and quickly pour the rest of the kernels and sugar into pot. Stir briefly to coat the kernels with oil and sugar, and replace the lid. With mitted hands, lift the pot by the handles (use your thumbs to keep the lid in place), and shake occasionally.
When the popping slows, remove the kettle corn from the heat, and immediately dump into a large bowl. Sprinkle with a few generous pinches of sea salt.

YAY for Mississippi :)
I love kettlecorn. I'd be happy subbing it for a few dinners just as well too! Thanks for a real homemade version! yum!

I know what you mean, I could eat this stuff for the rest of my life and be happy. I don't buy it anymore cause is THAT dangerous. But I guess a little homemade can't hurt anyone right? ;)

Love this post! I haven't made popcorn in eons and I've never made kettle corn. Maybe it's time? : )

Yay indeed, Jennifer! As long as we're embracing this kettle corn for dinner thing, I suppose all that's left to do is to figure out a proper wine pairing, eh?
I know, Amalia. It really is dangerous, as you say. At least you get some "exercise" with all of the pot shaking that goes into the homemade version, right?
Thanks, Anali! I'm biased, of course, but yes, I'd say it's time.

This kettle corn brings me back to age twelve, when I discovered the stuff at a county fair in Illinois. It's addictive—you're lucky your mother-in-law is generous enough to share it!
Side note: your pictures are always so beautiful—the light and composition are really welcoming. Do you shoot digital or film?

Found you today via a Serious Eats link, and how timely it is. I experienced kettle corn just a few hours ago for the first time and I've told my husband he's got serious competition for first place in my heart right now. I am IN LOVE. We had maple kettle corn and it is indeed heaven in a bag and I am skipping supper tonight for your aforementioned over-consumption. I bet your method coupled with some maple sugar would be pure bliss! Thank you for the 'recipe'!

I eat way more popcorn than I would care to admit, and it has to be faintly sweet and faintly salty, and just a little spicy too. Sometimes. All this too say, I want to eat this now.

i had a great chat with Angie months ago for the CelebrEATy Circle...and her kettle corn, specially the caramel corn, is a snack I never will say no to.

- Jess said...
Well, LimeCake, I think this recipe would make for a glorious return. Get popping!
I'm envious that you discovered kettle corn at such a young age, Maddie. I mourn my many kettle corn-less years. Obviously, I'm doing my best to make up for lost time.
And about my photos: First of all, thank you! I shoot both digital and film. In this post, you're looking at two digital shots (the top and the bottom) and two Polaroid photographs. In my other posts, I've included photos taken on various 35mm and medium format films, too.
Thank you, Tracy! That means a lot. Now, make yourself some kettle corn, girl!
I hear you, April. With all due respect to your husband, there's nothing quite like the love between a woman and her kettle corn. Maple sugar is a brilliant idea! I do wonder, though, how it would behave in this recipe. From what I remember, the consistency of maple sugar is different from granulated sugar, isn't it? I'm not sure it would melt down in the same way as the plain, white stuff, in which case the texture of the finished product might be different. If you give it a try, please do let us know how it goes.
Hi, Cate. A little spicy? How so? I'm intrigued.
celebreatySarah - I saw that caramel corn on their website, and wow, that stuff looks DANGEROUS. If ever you meet up with Angie again, shake her hand for me, would you?

I love this idea! Kettle corn is one of those "why didn't i think of that"/"why haven't i heard of this" moments (I'm from New Zealand and live in England and kettle corn doesn't feature in either place). I tried this as soon as i read about it and love it! I used a korean sea salt which has lots of different sized grains and helped heighten the contrast between the sweet and salt. Thanks!
- October 4, 2010 at 7:18 AM
- Jess said...
Hi, El. It took one sorry, scorched pot that I left on the flame a little too long, but now, yes, I think I've got it!
And hello, Lewyintheuk. I'm so happy to hear from the newly converted! Kettle corn's crazy stuff, isn't it? I've never heard of Korean sea salt, but now I'm dying to try it. From your description, it sounds quite beautiful, and just perfect for this recipe. I used Maldon sea salt in my last batch. I really enjoyed the flaky texture and milder salty flavor against the crunch and sweetness of the popcorn.

Whew, I finally had a moment to read your latest post! Lots of good stuff here, Jess. The polaroid is fantastic. The black-and-white is beautiful and it seems so old-fashioned.
That's so random that there are only 9 states that don't carry Angie's Kettle Corn! Distribution is so odd. But I love your do-it-yourself spirit, and the generosity with which you share it with us. I'm not much of a popcorn-maker, but I never say no to a handful from someone else. Yum!

Thanks for sharing this recipe with us--I fell in love with Kettle corn in the spring, in the weeks before my second baby was born. I thought it might have been the crazy 41 week hormones that made me think it was the greatest food on earth, but as it turns out, I'm still addicted. Can't wait to make. I'm a little embarrassed to say that I haven't made popcorn on the stove in years. I can't wait.

- kamran siddiqi said...
I haven't had popcorn in the longest and kettle corn is definitely on the top of my favorite popcorns. Sometimes when I am eating kettle corn, I wish I had a bigger mouth because it's always just that good. Time to give your recipe a try! Great post! And amazing photos!
- October 4, 2010 at 4:12 PM
- Jess said...
Thanks, Rosiecat. I really like that black and white film, too. It keeps surprising me.
That is an indisputable equation, if you ask me, Char.
Hi, Danielle. I love that the pull of this treat was so intense that you assumed a hormone-induced craving was behind it! So what if it's been a while since your last homemade batch. You know what they say about popping corn. No, wait, that's bicycles. It doesn't matter. The same is true for both things, I think.
Thanks, Kamran! A bigger mouth, yes! Or maybe a second mouth. Though a bigger one would probably draw less attention, so I take that back. Let's stick with your plan.

Hi, Molly. "Fair fare," indeed. I guess all I need now is a Ferris wheel in the living room, some blue-ribbon-hopeful livestock in the bedroom, and a pie eating contest at my table. One out of three, at least, can be arranged.
Whoa, that kettle corn looks insane, Andrea. Leave it to Joy! I'm curious about the variations you've tried. Say more!

So I made this last night for a treat when Matt and I watched Dexter and it was so fabulous! Since it has been years since I've made popcorn on the stove, I was a bit nervous (naturally, popping corn is something to get nervous about), but I followed your instructions and it didn't burn! It was just delicious. Also, Matt loves your photos.
Thanks again!

Ah, Jacqui. I miss me on Flickr, too! It's not for lack of photos to share, I can tell you that. I've just been quite focused on work and keeping this blog well fed, lately. I'll make my way back there sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.
Danielle! Thank you so much for reporting back. A perfect pot on your first try, eh? You're a natural! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed it. About Dexter: I've never seen a full episode, but Eli's a fan of the show, and I've passed through the living room when it's been on. It looks wonderfully creepy (Michael C. Hall is so talented) and, I'd imagine, just as addictive as this kettle corn! Thanks to Matt about the photos.

Yes, Michele, I agree. And also for incessantly grey and drippy days, like the ones we've been having lately, I've found.
Well, Megan, I never thought I'd say these words, but get thee to a Super Target! (According to the Angie's website, that's where you can find their kettle corn in California.) Or, hey, maybe you could buy a big old pot there, instead?

What a wonderful blog. I'm glad to discover you! I, too, am overwhelmed by large quantities of food. I get it. I even detest large menus. Too much choice. There is one thing in this world, however, I could eat forever and forever. It's kettle corn. LOVE it. Thank you! xo
- October 8, 2010 at 7:37 PM

I know what you mean, Joanne. The idea of sweet popcorn is a little weird, at first, isn't it? Some things just need to be tasted! Very happy to hear that you've seen the light, and happier still to help with your supply.
Thanks, redmenace, and hello! So glad to have you here. I'm with you on large menus. They totally stress me out. I just read on your blog that you're avoiding carbohydrates right now for medical reasons. And here I am shoving a bowl of kettle corn in your face! What poor timing. I have a feeling, though, that kettle corn might make the perfect post-delivery snack. How about it?

I discovered kettle corn made this way out in Tofino this summer.. we ate it every night while playing Blokus or reading or sitting around the campfire. We make it using our Whirly Pop popcorn maker (on the stovetop, but it has a handle crank that keeps the kernels from sitting too long and burning) and it's brilliant!
- October 10, 2010 at 10:08 PM
- Jess said...
Thanks for your sweet note, Anonymous. Yes, I do know about food52, and I think it's an inspired project! There are so many talented and passionate home cooks out there, and I'm grateful to Amanda and Merrill for creating a space where we all can learn from one another. Though I've never submitted, I've tried a couple of recipes from the site, with excellent results. Most of the recipes on Sweet Amandine are adapted, and not originals, but I'll keep an eye on the weekly assignments, and if I have something to contribute, I'll consider it.
Hi, Julie. Tofino was good to you, wasn't it? You know, I've seen those Whirly Pop thingies, but I've never tried one. They look like toys to me, and I always wondered if they actually work. I guess they do! Brilliant, indeed.

Now this I can make without an oven! And a big bag of corn kernels just arrived in a care package, so I really CAN make it! Thank you for this.
Truth be told, I never tried kettle corn until I was nearly thirty, in Alaska, about to run a marathon. It was at the Anchorage fair outside the race expo. I was wary then, as well, when my friend bought the big bag. Needless to say, you and I are a lot alike. That bag and me became best friends.

April in CT- PLEASE tell me you acquired that maple kettle corn at Bishop's Orchards... AMAZING.
Jess- The Angie's Kettle Corn website appears to be lying. That, or it's been updated since you posted this. The store-finder section urges me to buy my kettle corn online (I'm located in Massachusetts)!! It's a good thing your post sold me on the product, as I tend to get squicky about ordering food online, especially in bulk.
I recently discovered your blog, by the way, and it now holds an honored place in my Google Reader. I am such a fan. :)
- November 16, 2010 at 4:59 PM
- April in CT said...
exsoloadsolem - Right on!! That's exactly where I got it and I can neither confirm nor deny that I've been back since to get more! It's right on the way to a farm where we get our eggs and since Bishop's has that darned festival every Sunday it's so hard NOT to stop. We pull up, I jump out, pay for my loot and try not to tear into the bag before getting back in the car! lol

For spicy, just add a bit of your favorite oil based hot sauce (start with several drops, and go from there next time) mixed in with the oil before you heat it. Just stir the sauce well (but not briskly) into the oil you are using. I find that jalapeno sauces give a nice flavor without too much heat, and habanero seems to give a nice punch without altering the flavor.
- December 20, 2010 at 1:26 PM
- pcn said...
Olive oil burns at high temps doesn't it? and can also impart a flavour you may or may not want. I like to use grapeseed oil or canola.
Also, i experimented and used brown sugar instead, using a little more than you would use white sugar. It's like cracker jack, only hot and fresh.
Next i am going to experiment with putting some chopped nuts, like cashews, and/or pumpkin seeds in.
I'd like to get my hands on some Muscovado sugar, but will try Demerara next.
As a matter of fact our little health food store just got some (real) maple sugar in...

Reducing Your Risk of Bladder Cancer
A risk factor is something that increases your chances of developing cancer. Some risk factors cannot be changed, such as family history or genetics. Fortunately, many risk factors can be modified.
Quit Smoking
Smoking tobacco introduces a variety of harmful chemicals into your body. The chemicals are processed through the body and many are eventually passed in the urine. Since the bladder holds urine before it passes from the body, the lining of the bladder is regularly exposed to the harmful chemicals.
Quitting smoking is an important step in preventing bladder and other cancers. The sooner smoking is stopped, the sooner the body can start to heal. Talk to your doctor about the options available to help you successfully quit.
Manage Occupational Exposures
Chemical exposure can occur in many different jobs. If possible, try to find work in a different environment. If it is unavoidable, take steps to protect yourself from exposure. Check with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health or the Environmental Protection Agency about any available protective guidelines.
Stay Hydrated
Dehydration decreases the amount of water in the urine. This also means if there are dangerous chemicals in the urine, they will be more concentrated. Drinking water and eating foods with high water content throughout the day dilutes the urine and the concentration of any harmful substances in the urine.
Eat a Healthful Diet
Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables has been associated with lower risks of cancer. Good nutrition supports your body's immune system and can help maintain a healthy weight.

ACCORD is a C library for composition of SEM or scanning helium-ion microscope images with correction of drift. It is able to compose (average) large sets of extremely noisy images that were acquired by scanning charged-particle microscopes at the highest possible speeds (lowest pixel-dwell times). If the images are composed using traditional techniques, they usually become extensively blurry. The technique that is implemented in this software corrects these derogations by pre-shifting the composed frames.
AGM Build is a molecular builder and conformational editor. It can be used for interactive model preparation for molecular dynamics simulations, including association of atom types and partial charges. It features geometry editing, lattice building, building of chain molecules (e.g. proteins), chains with predetermined conformations, and charges and atom types according to selected Force Field.
APBS is a software package for the numerical solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE), one of the most popular continuum models for describing electrostatic interactions between molecular solutes in salty, aqueous media. Continuum electrostatics plays an important role in several areas of biomolecular simulation, including simulation of diffusional processes to determine ligand-protein and protein-protein binding kinetics, implicit solvent molecular dynamics of biomolecules, solvation and binding energy calculations to determine ligand-protein and protein-protein equilibrium binding constants and aid in rational drug design, and biomolecular titration studies.
The Artificial SEM Image Generator (artimagen) library generates artificial scanning electron microscope (SEM) and helium-ion microscope images of various samples, including gold-on-carbon resolution samples and some semiconductor structures. Numerous effects that appear in real SEMs are simulated (noise, drift-distortion, edge-effect, etc.), which enables assessment of imaging, metrology, and other techniques that work with SEM micrographs. Unlike the real SEM images, the artificial images exhibit defined types and amounts of these effects, which is their key advantage.
BioMAJ (BIOlogie Mises A Jour) is a workflow engine dedicated to data synchronization and processing. It automates the update cycle and the supervision of the locally mirrored data repository. The application is generalist, but was applied in the bioinformatics field for biological data bank management. The packaging includes workflow and indexing post-processing scripts for most used biological data banks. Developed in Java and Ant, the application is compatible with various Unix-based systems.
Bullet is a 3D game multiphysics library that provides state of the art collision detection and soft body and rigid body dynamics. Bullet is integrated into Cinema 4D, Lightwave, and Blender. A Houdini and Maya Plugin is available. It has a modular extendible C++ design with hot-swap of most components. The back-ends were optimized for pthreads/Win32 Threads multi-threading and PS3 Cell SPU. Other features include discrete and continuous collision detection (CCD), swept collision queries, ray casting with custom collision filtering, generic convex support (using GJK), capsule, cylinder, cone, sphere, box, and non-convex triangle meshes. Rigid body dynamics include constraint solvers, generic constraints, ragdolls, hinges, and ball-sockets. Constraint limits and motors are supported. Soft body support includes cloth, rope, and deformable objects. Import and export into COLLADA 1.4 Physics format is supported. Dynamic deformation of non-convex triangle meshes is supported by refitting the acceleration structures.
CONSIDEO MODELER allows you to mindmap a complex problem, analyse it qualitatively to discover levers and bottlenecks, and even to simulate it by automatically building a system dynamics model. One can integrate any external data and setup a customized management cockpit for playing out scenarios. It is useful for organizational problems, project management, financial analysis, production processes, score cards, and much more.

Mongolian Lunar New Year
Tsagaan Sar or White Month is one of Mongolia's two major and long-awaited holidays, the other being Naadam in July. For Mongols, Tsagaan Sar is not only an ancient holiday marking the end of winter and the beginning of a new year's cycle, but is also a time for unification and reinforcing social bonds. Preparations for the festive start well ahead of time. Several families usually gather in the eldest man's ger (traditional dwelling), where the holiday will take place. Since the holiday means all relatives, neighbors, friends and guests will be treated to a lavish meal, women make more than a thousand buuz and dumplings. Ready dumplings are lined on wooden plates and put outside. The next day, the frozen buuz are ready to be steamed. Families all across the country stock-up on food, dairy, mild milk vodka and other specialties for the occasion.

AutoRPM is a program that can do any combination of the following: mirror RPMs from an FTP site, keep installed RPMs consistent with an FTP site or local directory and keep installed RPMs in a cluster or network of systems consistent. It is highly flexible and contains a fully command-line driven interactive install mode (for installing RPMs from the queue or for installing RPMs from your system interactively). It also handles recursive dependencies, multiple versions of the same RPM, the same RPM with multiple architectures, and more. It does some of the same tasks as up2date and AutoUpdate.
AutoUpdate is a Perl script which performs a task similar to Red Hat's up2date or autorpm. It can be used to automatically download and upgrade RPMs from different HTTP(S) or (S)FTP sites, while also handling dependencies. Moreover, it can also be used to keep a server with a customized (Red Hat) distribution plus all clients up to date.
Depot is a software management tool providing a simple, yet flexible, mechanism for maintaining third party and locally developed software in large heterogeneous computing environments. Depot integrates separately maintained software packages, known as collections, into a common directory hierarchy consisting of a union of all the collections. This common directory is defined as the software environment. A set of configuration options manages interactions and intersections between collections in the environment. Depot facilitates the introduction, update, and removal of collections in a software environment. Custom environments and complete test environments can be easily created for individual machines or for sets of machines. Collections with unexpected problems can be replaced with previous versions or simply removed. Individual collections or files can be moved from remote filesystems to the local disks of workstations without the worry that the files may become stale. All this is achieved with minimal wasted disk space and administrative overhead.
The "dpkg" suite contains the programs which handle Debian (.deb) packages. It was developed on Debian GNU/Linux but can be used on all Linux distributions and most Unix systems. The "dpkg" command can be used to install, remove and manage .deb binary packages, and it maintains a package database which gets updated on changes. It is also a front-end to the low-level "dpkg-deb" tool, which is oriented towards manipulating archives. However, the primary interface to dpkg is the "dselect" program, which is used to get and display packages for the user to select for (de)installation.
dpkg-sn is a textual navigator for Debian/GNU Linux systems. It provides recursive exploration on main fields of each Debian package (.deb) installed on the system. It is also possible to search and view files owned by a package. The selection of a package-group or a file-group is made with regular expressions.
epkg is a package manager which uses the Encap Package Management System, a method for flexibly handling installation and management of third-party software on a Unix system. Encap places each package in its own subdirectory, then automatically manages symlinks to their appropriate places in /usr/local. The Encap package format includes features like postinstall scripts and prerequisite checking. Other features include builtin tar/gzip extraction, optional builtin FTP and HTTP support, transaction logging, and the ability to automatically upgrade a package to the latest version.
The Fink project wants to bring the full world of Unix Open Source software to Darwin and Mac OS X. It modifies Unix software so that it compiles and runs on Mac OS X and makes it available for download as a coherent distribution. Fink uses Debian tools like dpkg and apt-get to provide powerful binary package management. You can choose whether you want to download precompiled binary packages or build everything from source.
