Met-Ed, PPL crews prepare for storm-related power outages
Another winter storm is bearing down on us with an accumulation of ice in the mix this time around.
With the ice come power problems, and crews are preparing for the worst because of the snow that's already piled up on tree branches and wires from Monday's storm.
"We have been monitoring the weather conditions very closely, and as a result of that, we are making plans to deploy any resources we need in the areas that could get hit the hardest," said Mark Durbin, a Met-Ed spokesman.
Met-Ed and PPL officials told 69 News they have plenty of people ready to spring into action if the electricity goes out, including dispatchers, line crews and forestry workers who can cut tree branches.
"We'll have a full compliment of our own people and our contractors that assist us on the system," said Joe Nixon, a PPL spokesman. "We'll be ready to go."
Companies are hoping that tree trimming done over the summer to keep branches away from power lines will help prevent major outages in many areas, but some people are not taking any chances.
"We got the generator, so we're not really worried," said Adam Metzger. "We can kind of get everything we need running."
"There are a lot of folks that went out and bought generators," added Nixon. "There is a safety side to that. Please use them very carefully. Never operate them in a closed area where fatal carbon monoxide fumes could build up."
The utilities said there are many ways their customers can report a power outage, including phone apps, Facebook, and the companies' websites.
Met-Ed customers can also call 888-544-4877; the number for PPL is 800-342-5775.
The number one advice is to always report your outage.
"A lot of times people are sitting there in the dark not calling us but they're the only ones on the street that have a problem," said Durbin.
Many are hoping for the best scenario, which is no loss of power at all.

The economic crisis will inevitably affect contract semiconductor manufacturers, who have to constantly invest into new manufacturing technologies amid uncertainties with demand from customers. According to a media report, Chartered Semiconductor is looking forward to merge with a bigger player in an attempt to improve its positions on the market.
DigiTimes web-site reports that Song-Hwee Chia, chief executive of Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, plans to visit Taiwan next week in order to discuss merger possibilities with local contract semiconductor manufacturers – Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and United Microelectronics Corp.
Neither of the chip producers commented on the rumours, but chief executive officer of UMC reportedly said that it would be logical to expect transactions in the semiconductor industry and that the company would be "glad to see" them happen.
It should be noted that Chartered is a rather strong player on the global market: it has ties with IBM as well as manufactures microprocessors for Advanced Micro Devices. The company can produce chips using both bulk as well as silicon-on-insulator process technologies, which gives it huge potential customer base. However, the company needs to heavily invest into further development as well as new manufacturing equipment, something, which it may not be capable of amid economic slum, which makes it a candidate for acquisition by larger players.
At present Chartered has 7.4% of the global contract semiconductor manufacturing market and if it merges with a larger player, it would be positive for both companies.

Conveyor Ovens and Impinger Ovens
A Conveyor Oven Bakes Foods Consistently and Increases Your Production
If you own a pizzeria or a cafe, consider using an impinger oven to bake pizza pies and toast sandwiches. These ovens are designed with a conveyor system that slowly pulls foods through the oven, helping them to cook evenly without overbaking. Choose your conveyor oven based on its width, so you can bake any size pizza you need. Since the conveyor belt is constantly moving, you'll also be able to bake foods continuously and speed up your production. Read more
For businesses that need more than one oven but are limited on space, try an impinger oven that's stackable! Some of our ovens can be placed on top of each other to make the most out of your kitchen's available space. If you're considering one of these gas or electric units, be sure to select the wattage or total BTUs you require for your volume of orders.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (93 votes).
In short: An excellant course makes the raceIn full: I personally really enjoyed this race having set a new PB on what is a super fast and pretty course through the parks; a long stretch of downhill from miles 7 - 10 and unlike some i found the final 3 miles down the promenade a great flat finish....you cannot blame the course for struggling at the end! Felt the atmosphere was decent, and the post race massage and medal are definately positives.Like others my only real criticism relates to the organisation at the start, it will definately be a good idea to move it as planned next year - and incorporate different pens, it seems abit ridiculous that faster runners have to fight their way through the crowd to the start - i certainly didnt blame the guys i saw jumping the barriers to avoid doing so. Having finished before the crowds came in, i didnt have a problem at the finish although i could see how once it got busier they'd struggle to deal with everyone efficiently. I dont expect much from the inappropriately named "goody" bags at races, but beef jerky and toilet paper did seem like an exercise in irony! I liked the t-shirt design but for £30 you expect a technical t-shirt.Overall a great event, and with an improved start next year i'd definately expect to see it go from strength to strength.Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: Great event, enjoy my first ever raceDate of review: March 28, 2011
In short: Scenic City Half MarathonIn full: For a city half marathon, the course route was inspired. I really enjoyed running through the three parks, less so the promenade as it really felt like a long drag, particularly during the long straight stretch between 10 and 11 miles. However even that was preferable to the usual urban city half marathons. Apparently there were 7500 runners and it was a bit cramped in places as a result. Due to roadworks on the approach to the city, and an appalling parking decision on my part, I was disappointed to miss the start and missed the opportunity to run with the pacers which put paid to a potential PB after having to sprint for a mile just to get to the race start!The finish area was packed and will need some adjustments next year if they maintain that number of entrants. Goody bag and t shirt were ok but for £29, a technical t shirt isn't a big ask instead of a cheap cotton one. Good support from the locals. All in all, a really good race.Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: Not the best - sort out the toilets!In full: Despite turning up in pleanty of time, I didn't want to risk missing the start so didn't wait in massive toilet que and ended up needing the loo before I even set off. Ended up starting so late that I could've well gone and was fuming!Decided I'd have to wait until the half way toilets but didn't see any - did anyone else? Had to come off the route and queue for toilets in the Sefton Park cafe with loads of others but after 4 minutes with no one moving, I had to set off again. Ended up having to pee in the bushes in Otterspool park - something I never thought I'd have to do but needs must!All the messing about left me really demoralised and even though I still managed a new PB, I know I could've done much better so ended up disappointed.Having done a few other half marathons and loads of other races, I felt this one was a bit disorganised. Had to scramble over chains and fences and under guy ropes and all kinds to get there. No one knew where they were going - everyone was just milling round aimlessly. I know the routine with loo's and queing and faffing but this one was just too much.And the end? Twenty minute wait to get large t-shirt (all that was left) and a "goody bag" containing a single loo roll - which - after the experience I'd had was a bit of an insult.Not the greatest.Lovely route though and definately a potential for a very fast run.Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: another boss run liverpool event! In full: great race! Well done and thank you to Alan, the run liverpool team and all your fab volunteers!Thanks you to the Jurys Inn hotel for letting us and a few hundred other runners use your toilets!only thing that would improve it for me would be a couple of marshelled start pens, "no race number no entry"! I saw spectators trying to get out of the start area at 9.30am, whats that about?! Cant wait for the marathon in October!!!! Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: Great AtmosphereIn full: This was my first ever HM in fact this is longest distance I have ever run, managed a 1.56. which I was very pleased with. The crowds were very supportive. A bit brassed off with people junping over the barriers at the start. All in all a very enjoyable race. See you next year.Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: The usual RunLiverpool race In full: As ever well organised, maybe a little over-run with entrants, but nothing too bad. Good fast course, didn't miss running up the steps out of the Aigburth Road underpass this year.Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: Great atmosphere, great city and well organised race. Very crampt start though and could do with more toilets! Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: Great PB potential on a lovely courseIn full: There are a lot of harsh criticisms on the reviews here, only some are justified, it is a really narrow start and there weren't as many loos there should be, however this is a great race. The absolute mass of people that turned up less than ten minutes before the start time was the major issue! Put simply if you want a bit of space and to get near the front, get there a bit earlier!All in all this is a good race on a flat course with excellent PB potential. It would benefit from start pens though.Huge thanks to runners world pace runner who helped get me in under 1.30 for the first time.Date of review: March 28, 2011
In short: Excellent EventIn full: This is the third year in a row I have took part in this race and every year has been excellent. I really enjoy it and it is one that I always look forward to. I improved my PB by nearly 15 minutes this year, the course is quite flat and seems to go very quickly. Date of review: March 28, 2011

Before creating a collage, AutoCollage must choose which images to use. It does this by examining each of the images it has loaded, ranking them from most interesting to least interesting, and preferring the highest ranked images for inclusion in the collage.
Ranked images can be divided into four categories:
For example, if you make a 7-image collage from a folder with 50 images, then the 3rd through 7th ranked images are included images, and the 8th through 50th ranked images are excluded images.
To review and modify image ranking, enable ranking information display and manual ranking via advanced input options. This will allow you to review and influence the ranking of images for collage creation.
The 1st and 2nd ranked images have an icon with their rank superimposed on the top of them.
Other included images are rendered normally, but may have another icon superimposed when they are zoomed. These icons are shown and explained in Changing Image Ranking.
Excluded images - those which will not be in the created collage - are rendered with diagonal lines across them.
Since the number of images included in the collage is determined by the Image Count Slider, changing this slider will affect the set of included and excluded images.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 30, 2009) – The Eighth Annual Women's Pan American Cup, hosted by USA Volleyball in Miami from June 26 to July 4, has grouped its 12 participating teams into two six-team pools.
The nine-day Pan American Cup, which has three of the four 2008 Olympic Games semifinalists (Brazil, USA and Cuba), will be played on the campuses of the University of Miami and Florida International University. A total of 12 teams are scheduled to compete in the event, which serves as a qualifying event into the 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix. The top three teams from NORCECA in the Women's Pan American Cup and the highest placing South American country will earn berths to next year's premier annual event.
The U.S. Women's National Team, the 2008 Olympic Games silver medalist, has been grouped into Pool A with Dominican Republic (No. 13 FIVB world ranking), Peru (No. 17), Canada (No. 23), Uruguay (No. 29) and Argentina (No. 31). Pool B consists of 2008 Olympic Games gold medalist Brazil (No. 1), 2008 Olympic Games semifinalist Cuba (No. 3), 2008 Olympic Games participant Venezuela (No. 24), Puerto Rico (No. 19), Mexico (No. 26) and Costa Rica (No. 30). Team sketches can be found at the end of this press release.
"The Pan American Cup field is very strong," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "It includes three of the four 2008 Olympic Games semifinalists. We do have some information about each team that will be competing in Miami this summer. However, our main focus has been on working to secure a location for the Women's National Team to train, and to identify the athletes we want to see in our gym. It's a lot about us right now."
Each team will play five pool matches in a round-robin format from June 26 to July June 30, followed by an off-day on July 1. The winner of each pool advances to the semifinals on July 3, while the second- and third-place pool finishers play cross-pool quarterfinal matches on July 2. The championship match is schedule for July 4. All match times and pool schedules will be announced at a later time.
Ticket prices and online purchasing will be available at http://usavolleyball.org/event/event/572 once determined.
The City of Miami will be a hub of volleyball activity the last week of June and first week of July. The Women's Pan American Cup is being run concurrently with the USA Junior Olympic Girls' Volleyball Championships held June 26-July 5 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Typically, the tournament attracts 788 teams and approximately 9,500 athletes in addition to parents and relatives. A total of 19 championships are contested in age groups ranging from 12 to 18.
"USA Volleyball is extremely excited about the opportunity to host one of the largest international volleyball events in Miami and to pair it with the 2009 USA Junior Olympic Girls' Volleyball Championships," USA Volleyball Chief Executive Officer Doug Beal said. "It will provide a unique opportunity for our developing young volleyball players to be exposed to elite international volleyball teams from North America, South America and the Caribbean. The two events will also generate terrific excitement in the community and lead to greater popularity for the sport."
USA Volleyball has never hosted the Women's Pan American Cup in the seven previous years of the event's history. The 2009 Women's Pan American Cup is the largest international volleyball event hosted by USA Volleyball in terms of country participation.
Further, Team USA has not hosted a women's senior-level international tournament since the 1998 FIVB World Championship Qualifier tournament in 1998. Due to international scheduling and professional league commitments, matches on domestic soil have become a rarity with only seven contests against foreign teams in the most recent Olympic quadrennial (2005-2008).
The U.S. Women's National Team placed fifth at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup with a young roster, yet still qualified for the 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix. Dominican Republic captured the gold medal with a five-set victory over Brazil, which was using a junior-level team at the competition.
USA won its only Women's Pan American Cup in 2003, its first year competing in the event after missing the first two competitions in 2001 and 2002. The U.S. earned the silver at the 2004 Women's Pan American Cup. During the 2005-2008 Olympic quadrennial, Team USA primarily used young rosters at the event and finished with back-to-back fourth-place spots in 2005 and 2006, followed by a bronze medal in 2007.

2007: 3rd
2006: 4th
2005: 4th
2004: 2nd
2003: 1st

Brazil, ranked No. 1 in the current FIVB World Ranking, finished second at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup with a roster mainly of junior-level players. It won all five of its pool matches and only lost to Dominican Republic in five sets in the gold-medal match. At the 2008 Olympic Games, Brazil muscled its way through pool play and the semifinals without dropping a single set. The Brazilians faced Team USA in the Olympic Games gold-medal match and came away with a four-set victory. In 2008, Team USA and Brazil faced each other in three exhibition matches in Colorado Springs (Brazil won two of three matches), a scrimmage in Beijing prior to the Olympics and the highlight match of the Olympic Games. Brazil holds a 32-47 all-time record against the USA.
USA, ranked No. 2 in the current FIVB World Ranking, finished fifth at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup with a very young roster that included just one Olympian from the 2008 Beijing Games. Team USA completed Pool A with a 4-1 record and in a three-way tie for first place. However, it was upset by Puerto Rico in the quarterfinal round and needed to defeat Peru and Venezuela in the classification matches to qualify for the 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix as the third-best NORCECA team in the Pan American Cup. Team USA went on to finish fourth at the 2008 FIVB World Grand Prix by mixing up its roster with veterans and newcomers. The Americans placed second in the 2008 Olympic Games Pool A with a 4-1 record. Team USA collected a quarterfinal victory over then-second-ranked Italy and a sweep of then-third-ranked Cuba in the semifinals. The U.S. lost a four-set match to top-ranked Brazil in the gold-medal match, but was the only team to take at least one set off the Olympic champions. In 2009, Team USA will have a new coach but one not unfamiliar with USA Volleyball. Hugh McCutcheon assumed the head coach position of the U.S. Women's National Team in December of 2008 after leading the U.S. Men's Olympic Team to the gold medal in Beijing.
Cuba, ranked No. 3 in the current FIVB World Ranking, finished a disappointing 11th at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup with a young roster not resembling its 2008 Olympic Games roster. Cuba's only victory was against Trinidad & Tobago in the last classification match. However, Cuba proved dominant at the 2008 Olympic Games with an undefeated record in pool play that included wins over USA and host China. Team USA defeated Cuba in straight sets in the Olympic Games semifinals. Cuba lost its chance at a bronze medal with a loss to host China in the third-place match. Team USA trails Cuba in the all-time series 49-88.
Dominican Republic
Dominican Republic, ranked No. 13 in the current FIVB World Ranking, won the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup after upsetting Brazil in the final. Dominican Republic won four of its five Pool A matches, but earned the tiebreaker over USA and Argentina who also had 4-1 records. Dominican Republic defeated the U.S. to open the tournament. However, USA still holds a 30-7 all-time record over Dominican Republic, which missed out on its opportunity to compete in the 2008 Olympic Games as Cuba won the NORCECA Olympic Qualification Tournament and placed fourth at the World Olympic Qualification Tournament (needed to place third).
Peru, ranked No. 17 in the current FIVB World Ranking, placed seventh at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup. The Peruvians were 2-3 in Pool B and lost a straight set match to Team USA in the first classification match. Peru ended the tournament with a five-set victory over Canada. Earlier in 2008, Peru finished second in the South American (CSV) Olympic Qualification Tournament and missing out on its chance to participate in the 2008 Olympic Games. The U.S. is 21-5 all-time versus Peru.
Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico, ranked No. 19 in the current FIVB World Ranking, placed fourth at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup. After a 3-2 record in last year's pool play, Puerto Rico upset the United States in the quarterfinals before it lost to Dominican Republic and Argentina in the semifinals and third-place match, respectively. As the second-highest ranked NORCECA team at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup, Puerto Rico qualified for the 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix event later this summer. Team USA holds a 21-1 overall record against Puerto Rico when using a full senior level national team.
Canada, ranked No. 23 in the current FIVB World Ranking, placed eighth at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup. It finished Pool B with a 4-1 record, but lost all three of its classification matches in five sets. Canada and USA did not meet in 2008, with the last meeting a three-set American victory at the 2007 NORCECA Continental Championship held at Winnipeg. Team USA holds a 68-10 all-time record versus its neighbor to the north.
Venezuela, ranked No. 24 in the current FIVB World Ranking, placed sixth at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup. Despite a 1-4 record and fifth place result in Pool B in last year's event, Venezuela came to life in the classification matches until losing a five-set match to the United States in the fifth-place match. Venezuela also competed in its first-ever Olympic Games in Beijing after upsetting Peru in the Olympic Qualification Tournament. Unfortunately, it failed to win a match during its five Olympic pool matches but did take a set off Olympic silver medalist USA. Team USA is 3-0 all-time versus Venezuela with two of the three contests coming 2008.
Mexico, ranked No. 26 in the current FIVB World Ranking, finished 10th at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup in which it hosted. Mexico won two of five Pool A matches for fourth place, but stumbled in its two classification matches. Team USA, when using a senior national team, is 19-0 versus Mexico all-time, including a victory at the 2008 Pan American Cup.
Uruguay, ranked No. 29 in the current FIVB World Ranking, did not compete in the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup. At the 2007 Women's Pan American Cup, it finished in 11th place with a victory over Trinidad & Tobago. Team USA has never faced Uruguay.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica, ranked No. 30 in the current FIVB World Ranking, placed ninth at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup. The Costa Ricans finished Pool A with a 1-4 record and win over Trinidad & Tobago. In classification matches, Costa Rica defeated Mexico in the ninth-place match. Team USA swept Costa Rica at last year's Pan American Cup and are 8-0 all-time in the series history.
Argentina, ranked No. 31 in the current FIVB World Ranking, placed third at the 2008 Women's Pan American Cup. It tallied a 4-1 record in Pool A and finished in a three-way tie for first place with Dominican Republic and USA. Team USA defeated Argentina in the Pan American Cup pool play and holds an 11-0 record in the all-time series.

Tom,I thought that you might be interested in the beer dough formulation that John Correll has in his Encyclopizza book, at http://web.archive.org/web/20040623200337/http://www.correllconcepts.com/Encyclopizza/05_Dough-making/16_dough_recipe.htm.Peter
Tom - did you end up drinking any of the Alesmith beer, or were they all dedicated to the dough? I've gotten Alesmith a couple of times (to drink) and am yet to be impressed by it. Maybe I need to give them another try?

Ulibarrí, Sabine
Sabine Ulibarrí 1919–
(Full name Sabine Reyes Ulibarrí) American short story writer, poet, and critic.
The following entry presents an overview of Ulibarrí's career through 1991.
Ulibarrí is a celebrated Chicano writer best known for short stories in the costumbrismo literary tradition. These works combine elements of the oral folktale and local color, depicting the history, manners, and language of the New Mexican Chicano community familiar to Ulibarrí from his childhood.
Biographical Information
Ulibarrí was born in New Mexico. He attended the University of New Mexico, Georgetown University, and the University of California at Los Angeles. He later taught Spanish at the University of New Mexico and chaired the modern and classical languages department from 1971 until 1980. He has written and spoken in support of the Chicano Movement since its inception in the 1960s, and his works display wide knowledge of and concern for the distinctive culture of New Mexico's native Spanish-speaking population.
Major Works
Ulibarrí has written poetry since childhood, and Al cielo se sube a pie, a collection of fifty short poems, was published in Mexico in 1961 and later in Spain. Amor y Ecuador, a second poetry collection, appeared in 1966. Ulibarrí is best known, however, for his short stories. The collections Tierra Amarilla: Cuentos de Nuevo México (1964; Tierra Amarilla: Stories of New Mexico/Cuentos de Nuevo México) and Mi abuela fumaba puros y otros cuentos de Tierra Amarilla/My Grandmother Smoked Cigars, and Other Tales of Tierra Amarilla (1977) contain some of his best-known works. Set for the most part in the Tierra Amarilla region of New Mexico where Ulibarrí was born, these stories depict the people, mores, and language of the area with insight and compassion. Although Ulibarrí's prose features realistic and naturalistic detail, particularly of landscape and behavior, commentators note that a poetic sensibility informs his fiction. In some stories that antedate these collections, such as those collected in El Cóndor, and Other Stories (1989), Ulibarrí combines the costumbrismo tradition with elements of magical realism, in which fantastic elements are presented objectively to obscure distinctions between illusion and reality. Many of his story collections, including Primeros encuentros/First Encounters (1982), Gobernador Glu Glu y otros cuentos/Governor Glu Glu, and Other Stories (1988), Corre el rio/Flow of the River (1992), El cóndor, and The Best of Sabine R. Ulibarrí (1993), have been published in bilingual editions in both Spanish and English.
Critical Reception
Ulibarrí's introduction of elements of magical realism into his fiction was not enthusiastically received: Juan Bruce-Novoa proposed giving this "interesting, if not altogether successful, synthesis of New Mexican oral tradition and mainstream magical realism" the designation "magical regionalism." Ulibarrí is, however, largely commended for his facility as a costumbrista. The bilingual publication of much of Ulibarrí's short fiction makes him one of the most widely-read and accessible Chicano authors in the United States. Donald W. Urioste has written that Ulibarrí's stories "transcend the superficially picturesque and quaint intent of costumbrismo to present larger, more universal lessons about life and human conduct."

Olga Prjevalinsky Ferrer (review date Spring-Summer 1962)
[Below, Ferrer reviews Ulibarrí's Al cielo se sube a pie, focusing on his use of imagery and the emergence of a personal poetic voice in the collection.]
Fifty poems in search of heaven make up this book [Al cielo se sube a pie] of heterogeneous style and tone. Unity is achieved through the recurrence of themes.
Static poetry—this might be the definition of Sabine Ulibarrí's production. Quietude intensifies the relevance of a moment. For Ulibarrí it is the transference of a mood through lyric adjectivation. And this is so necessary to his poetry that even in the use of nouns, we feel that they have become void of essence and that it is only quality that exists and subsists. Thus, in the first poem, concerned with the snowclad night, by means of the combination "soft-marble" the noun has come to lose its density and consequently, one of its basic qualities and is left only with its unuttered whiteness, which is in keeping with the reiterative sequence of the concept of white in each line. Thus, the noun has been deprived of its substantivity, remaining with a merely adjectival purport.
Another circumstance of Sabine Ulibarrí's still, at times, motionless poetry dwells in the lack of verbal forms. Absence of action contributes effectively to concentration on a state of feeling, and this is what matters. The adjective carries out the greatest poetical function in Ulibarrí's poetry.
Sabine Ulibarrí is skillful in tracing a decorative representation of the outer world, which is genuine. He may use words borrowed from woman's environment of arts and toils and blends them beautifully with his description. Coloration is also true and personal. Were he to stop there, the poem would be perfectly achieved ("Crepúsculo," for example). However, a...

Thelma Campbell Nason (essay date 1971)
[In the following excerpt from her introduction to Tierra Amarilla, Nason briefly describes the historical and social context of the work.]
Tierra Amarilla. Yellow Land. The adjective evokes an erroneous concept of the small Spanish-American village whose name provides the title for [Ulibarrí's] book. Green, not yellow, is the predominant color, for the town lies in a valley cradled in the pine-haired arms of New Mexico's high northern mountains. Equally deceptive is its appearance. Somnolent, unchanging, grown shabby with the years, it impresses the casual visitor as a relic from the past, a sanctuary from modern turbulence. Yet Tierra Amarilla recently exploded into national headlines with an armed raid on the county courthouse. There are indications, too, that this glare of publicity was not merely a transient flash, that the spotlight will focus again and again on this adobe village in its stream-stitched valley.
Tierra Amarilla has never been a peaceful place. The county seat of Río Arriba County whose crowding mountains and high plateaus are snow blocked in winter and isolated in summer, it developed stalwart individualists, proud men of action who lived by struggle. Its history is interwoven with the murky complex of legal and local battles over Spanish and Mexican land grants which, since 1854, have engendered in its people a sense of injustice, envy, and sometimes hatred.
The descendants of the first colonists, who still inhabit the area, are more Spanish than American. Part of the paradox of New Mexico is the fact that the Hispanic heritage becomes more ingrown and more intense the farther it is removed from its colonial source, the "New Spain" or Mexico of three centuries ago. Spanish is the universal...

Theodore A. Sackett (review date December 1972)
[In the following excerpt, Sackett commends the historical interest and poetic sensibility evident in Tierra Amarilla.]
The new bi-lingual edition of the prose of Dr. Sabine Reyes Ulibarrí, Professor of Spanish Literature at the University of New Mexico and one of the best known American writers in the Spanish language, is a truly important book. [Tierra Amarilla] will be treasured by all who can appreciate the beauties of an artistic re-creation of values and a way of life which today are in a process of rapid transformation and perhaps annihilation. Those familiar with Hispanic civilization will be enchanted by ulibarrí's work. In it they will see remembrances of life in a small...

Rudolfo A. Anaya (essay date 1977)
[Anaya is a novelist, short story writer, and playwright who is considered one of the most influential authors of Chicano literature. In the following introduction to Ulibarrí's My Grandma Smoked Cigars, he commends the characterizations and imagery found in the stories and places them in an oral literary tradition.]
Those of us who enjoyed the stories in Tierra Amarilla have eagerly awaited this new collection by Sabine Ulibarrí. And the wait was worthwhile, for in many ways Mi Abuela Fumaba Puros is a continuation of the former. In this bilingual edition, Ulibarrí once again combines the artistry of our oral tradition (which he knows so well) with his personal...

Charles M. Tatum (review date Summer 1978)
[In the following review, Tatum praises My Grandma Smoked Cigars for its sensitive character portrayal and evocatively presented memories of childhood.]
To his published works of short stories about his native northern New Mexico, noted author and scholar Sabine Ulibarrí adds ten more sensitively rendered tales. In this attractive bilingual edition, [Mi abuela fumaba puros y otros cuentos de Tierra Amarilla/My Grandma Smoked Cigars and Other Stories from Tierra Amarilla], Ulibarrí presents a tapestry of childhood memories of life among the hardy and proud hispanos of Tierra Amarilla. His stories are a series of carefully drawn sketches of individuals—family, friends,...

Francesca Miller (essay date Winter 1983)
[In the following excerpt, Miller explores Ulibarrí's style and themes in First Encounters, commending especially his portrayal of relationships between different cultural groups.]
Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico, in which the nine short stories of Primeros Encuentros/First Encounters are set, is duly marked on any map of the USA, but it is a place which no longer exists, in the way that none of the places and times of our youth exist. Through the skill of the artist we can recover vanished places and peoples; such is the gift of Sabine Ulibarrí that we can know, and know intimately, a community which most of us have never visited or even imagined. The people of Tierra Amarilla are...

Charles Tatum (essay date 1989)
[Below, Tatum presents an overview of Ulibarrí's poetry and fiction, focusing on recurring themes and the author's portrayal of character.]
Poet, essayist, and prose writer, Sabine Ulibarrí holds an important place in contemporary Chicano literature. In addition to scholarly works, textbooks and thought-provoking essays, Sabine Ulibarrí has published two books of poetry, five collections of short stories, and he has edited another collection of his students' prose and poetry. All of his creative literature was originally written in Spanish although his short stories have also appeared in bilingual editions. When compared to other Chicano writers, his literary output is significant,...

Bruce-Novoa (review date January-February 1990)
[Bruce-Novoa is a distinguished Hispanic poet and critic. In the excerpt below, he offers a mixed review of El cóndor, and Other Stories, maintaining that Ulibarrí's blending of oral folktale elements with the techniques of magical realism is not entirely successful.]
Ulibarrí, a native New Mexican, is no novice. When Chicano political activism was surfacing in the mid 1960s, but before any major piece of literature associated with it had been published, two books of Ulibarrí's poetry appeared, Al cielo se sube a pie and Amor y Ecuador, in Madrid in 1966. Thus, some classify him as a precursor, one of a few established writers—including José Antonio Villarreal, John...

Allan Johnston (review date Summer 1991)
[Here, Johnston favorably reviews Ulibarrí's El cóndor, and Other Stories.]
Sabine Ulibarri has worked much in the realm of the folktale and the oral personal anecdote. While such works are effective, they sometimes feel unfinished; the very rough-and-hewn grace that pulls them together consigns them to a specific, limited genre. In [El Condor and Other Stories], however, Ulibarri manages, while preserving the freshness of the anecdotal, to take us to places entirely different from those explored in a book like My Grandmother Smoked Cigars. Working in the realm of cultural myth, Ulibarri introduces us to a world at once homely and exotic, familiar and fantastic.

Topic: has_many association and session
I have parent ActiveRecord object and a set of child ActiveRecord objects. I use has_many/belongs_to association between them (parent has many children). When I store parent object in session all its children is stored in session too. This is unacceptable - I wanted it to store just parent and make SQL calls for each children retrieval.
Here are my classes:
1) Parent:
class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :children
2) Child:
class Child < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :parent
Code that I use to store parent in session:
p = Parent.find(1)
session[:parent] = p
c = p.children
After that I've got session with all children of 1st parent!

I decided on somewhere between 20 to 30, counting all the random sample tins and some bagged teas that I keep for emergencies.
I started this morning with some dragonwell. It did very well for being thrown into a disposable filter as I was being rushed out the door because my parents wanted to go to the diner for breakfast. Now that I can finally sit down, I opened my fukamushi-maki from Den's to try. It came out as a really pretty spring green color and has a pleasantly stronger taste than other senchas that I have tried. On to the second steep!

It's November and Christmas is only a few weeks away. Is everyone as excited as I am? I have loads of photos to show you, but I've been swamped with shoots upon shoots and I can't share anything just yet. So instead, I'm making a random list that could possibly pass as a gift guide. Or not, like I said- random.
1. Short hair.
Not really a gift I know, but I've been obsessing about cutting my hair for ages now. Every now and then I get itching to cut off all my hair. I just can't help it. I've never been the type to be patient enough with Rapunzel-long-locks. Unfortunately, I have biology going against me. With cheeks like mind the short hair I crave just makes me look like a pudgy little boy. But then at least, I'd have the body to match! Help me decide, strangers on the internet, what do you think? Keep it or cut it off?
2. Fuji xpro1.
Despite the mixed reviews (and price tag) on this cam, it still haunts my every waking moment. Well, ok, maybe not. But I definitely think about it a lot. Just read this review from Zach Arias and tell me you don't feel the same! I know, I know, that's Zach (first name basis, we're tight that way) who is to say your pictures will turnout as amazing? Valid argument, it's the photographer not the camera, but just look at it!
Ok, maybe I just have gas (gear acquisition syndrome).
3. Wacom tablet
I got mine 2 years ago and it's my favorite thing ever. Sure you can get the job done with your mouse but think of your wrists! I have the Intous4 but they've rolled out the Intuos5 and it looks good (there I go again with the gas), I definitely recommend this.
4. ONA bag insert
If you travel a lot this is a fantastic option to have. When I went on my China and Eurotrip I lugged around a huge backpack and spent my days wondering around like a sweaty turtle (eww).
5. Ceramic alarm clock
So chic, so want it.
6. Muijo iPad sleeve
I'm starting to see a pattern in my choice of accessories….
7. Awesome typeface bookends
Ok, that's all I got. For now. What have you been obsessing about? Hit me up in the comments, I'm desperate for gift ideas!

A Nearlypolitan pizza would be different from a Neo-Neapolitan or what I call a hybrid style pieNeo-Neapolitan or what I call a hybrid style pie that has characteristics of both NP and NY.
I too do not like the term, "artisan", it is meaningless and so overused it has almost become derogatory. You are making New York Elite with a 2-3 minute bake, but I wouldn't call it anything in regards to style, it stands on it's own merits.

Childrens Thankful Journal
November 28, 2013 by Core'dinator
Filed under Core Blog
Hi! Jill from Every Day is an Occasion back to share another Kids Core project with you! Today it's all about being grateful! This Grateful Journal can be used a couple of ways. The first way, which is how I'm going to be using it, is a mini album. Since November 1, I have been taking pictures of things I'm grateful for and posting them on Instagram. I am going to print the photos and then put them in this mini album. The second way could be used on Thanksgiving and to have everyone draw pictures or write on the page what they are Thankful for. Then at the Thanksgiving Table the journal can be read and you have a keepsake to look back on when your kids are older. Now these are just two ideas I came up with. I'm sure you have a great idea if these don't work for you!
Grateful Journal
One thing is for sure, I love Core'dinations white core paper! The 12×12 and 110lb 8 1/2 x 11 packs are such an AMAZING quality of paper! I made this entire journal out of scratch and it's thanks to the white core! It is so super sturdy that I felt comfortable using it as all the album pages. To create the cover I actually used a cereal box and cut it to 6 1/2 x 6 1/2. I then used my Xyron Mega Runner to adhere the Vintage Core'dinations cardstock to the cardboard. To create the album pages, I just cut 15 white sheets down to 6 1/2 x 6 1/2. Then I used my cinch machine to bind all the pages together.
For the cover, I used Core tags along with some vintage sequins I was handed down from my Great Grandmother. I also used some Amethyst Colorshine. I attached some Hemptique Twine to my tag. I have to say though, my favorite thing is to print onto core. I used Shanna Noel's thankful prints and printed them onto my 8 1/2 x11 white core. Then I used my Epiphany Crafts Round 25 tool to punch them out and I put an acrylic sticker (they go with the round 25 tool) on top.
This is all great and grand you may be saying to yourself…but what you really want to know is how is this a kids craft? Well, let me tell youwhat we did… I talked to my kids (2 & 4) about being grateful or thankful. We have read many Thanksgiving books together and discussed what it means. Then I had my kids draw pictures about what they are thankful for. My 4 year old son (on the left) said he is thankful for "ALL the leaves". I said, "Oh you're thankful for leaves?" He said, "No, Mom… ALL the leaves" CUTE! My two year old daughter (on the right) said she is thankful for Daddy and she said Daddy has colorful hair. LOL! I am going to add these to my Instagram pictures. Once I have them printed I will have my kids help me create the layouts with photos of them and their drawings.
Have a great day! Smiles, Jill

Teen Review: Wonder Woman, vol. 1: Odyssey
Wonder Woman, vol. 1: Odyssey was super cool! When I say super cool I mean: AWESOME. Wonder Woman got a new wardrobe and it looks awesome on her, it's not like the one that she used to wear. That looked like a swimsuit (dangit male dominated society). It's like a one piece and a leather jacket! It's really cool, a fresh new look to a classic character! But it also has her classic bracelets and tiara. So yeah she's keeping true to her roots and still makes you look like she's going to kick your a**.
Now the story appears to be: the Amazons have fallen, so Wonder Woman and a group of fellow Amazons move into a building in, I'm not sure. Hmmmm…. Okay foreword! It's really cool! Wonder Woman is a bada**! She gets into fights and she wins, but the weird thing is she bleeds. Wait hold on…..Lies, she's indestructible, Google proved it. Dangit already a lie! Now I understand: it makes the character more human, but it's really cool that normal human pain can't affect to her. Now I'm getting down into the nerdy side of life: Wonder Woman is part of the Trinity. The Trinity is: Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. They are famous in the DC Universe! They're notorious for being the three most powerful you don't want to mess with. If I was in the DC Universe, being the person I am and I saw them walking down the street or just standing in front of me. I'd poo my pants and run away! Screaming like a little girl! What's my point? Oh yeah! Superman and Batman never make an appearance, there not even mentioned. This is a really good fact because it keeps the focus on Wonder Woman, which is something that a lot of DC comic books are guilty of doing.
This comic book is amazing! I really like it! It proved how much of a bada** Wonder Woman is and that's why I really like it. If you're a fan of Wonder Woman or you've ever wanted to see a really cool female super hero that will make you proud to be a woman. Then pick of this comic book and read it. It's very cool and gave me new found respect for Wonder Woman. Yeah new role models!

We have made
every effort that we can to identify all known Davis documents, as well
as those to or from his wife Varina, but we still regularly find out
about materials that are in private hands, or being sold at auction. We
do not have the funds to purchase documents, but we do attempt to gain
permission to publish. The records that we have of ownership of Davis
materials have also proved invaluable in catching and convicting several
document thieves.
If not for yourself, order them
for the local or school library. Or raise money through a community
organization to fund the purchase. The best way to interest students of
any age in history is to expose them to original documents. Our volumes
allow the readers to know Davis through his own words. See the section on Volumes for more information on purchasing.

Refreshing Cleanser is a very standard, but good, water-soluble cleanser for normal to oily skin. The amount of glycolic acid will not function as an exfoliant. This contains fragrance and fragrant plant extracts along with irritant witch hazel but the amounts used and the fact that this product is designed to be rinsed from skin poses little risk. Still, you can play it safe and spend a lot less money with our top-rated drugstore cleansers, as featured in the Best Products section of Beautypedia.
This gentle lightweight cleanser removes makeup, dirt and other impurities. Cucumber Extract soothes as it refreshes while Hawaiian White Ginger and Algae Extracts soften and smooth skin.
Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Glycol Distearate, Butylene Glycol, Algae Extract, Hedychium Coronarium Root Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi) Fruit Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Glycolic Acid, Sodium PCA, PEG-8 Distearate, Polyquaternium-4, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Limonene, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Fragrance
Murad At-A-Glance
Strengths: A few good cleansers; a selection of well-formulated AHA products centered on glycolic acid; most of Murad's top-rated products are fragrance-free; the sunscreens go beyond the basics and include several antioxidants for enhanced protection.
Weaknesses: Expensive; no other dermatologist-designed line has more problem products than Murad; irritating ingredients are peppered throughout the selection of products, keeping several of them from earning a recommendation; the skin-lighteners are not well-formulated.
Dr. Murad was one of the first doctors to appear on an infomercial selling his own line of skin-care products, and quite successfully so, at least the second time around. This was largely because the company paid for independent clinical studies to establish the efficacy of Dr. Murad's products. There's no question that AHA products, when well-formulated, can be a powerful ally to create healthier, radiant skin. But in terms of independent clinical studies, we're skeptical, given that there are countless labs that exist solely to perform such studies in strict accordance with how the company wants the results to turn out. Murad certainly wouldn't mention in an infomercial that the clinical studies for his AHA products weren't as impressive as, say, those for Neutrogena's AHA products, or any other line for that matter. And what about BHA products? Clinical studies and testimonials may have prompted consumers to order, but the results from Murad's AHA products are hardly unique to this line.
Although this is a skin-care line to consider for some good AHA options, the majority of the products are nothing more than a problem for skin. Murad may have been one of the first dermatologist-developed skin-care lines, but by today's standards his line is deplorable. This is largely due to a preponderance of irritating ingredients that show up in product after product. Any dermatologist selling products that include lavender, basil, and various citrus oils plus menthol and other irritants doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. The same goes for Murad's overuse of alcohol and his preference for treating acne with sulfur, both factors that keep some of his otherwise well-formulated, efficacious products from earning a recommendation.
Yet what is most objectionable is the endless parade of products claiming they can stop, get rid of, or reduce wrinkles and aging. Regardless of whether dermatologists know best about lotions and potions, no conscientious doctor would or should be selling products using the ludicrous claims Murad makes. Most of the anti-aging products have the same hype, the same unsubstantiated claims, and the same exaggeration about the beneficial effects of ingredients that are often present only in the tiniest amounts, without even a mention of the standard or potentially irritating ingredients that are also present. Dr. Murad's skin-care philosophy, stated on his Web site, includes the following statement: "Take all the necessary steps to achieve healthy skin—including the right products, the proper nutrients (from both food and supplements) and positive lifestyle choices." That's an excellent piece of advice; the problem is that it is contradicted by Murad's own products, most of which are far from the "right" options for all skin types.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mecross So Comfortable I love to cook but standing on hardwood floors for hours at a time were beginning to take its toll on my feet and legs. I had looked at these mats elsewhere but all were too small for my kitchen work area. I was delighted to discover that Frontgate offers them in various sizes and shapes. Now the 6'x4' mat cushions my steps and makes cooking even more enjoyable. The product is well made. I highly recommend the Wellness mat. February 11, 2014
