Last year I wrote a post about the Mexican holiday known as Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) you can read it here. The bread in the pictures for that post was bought at the Mexican market, but I made a commitment to bake my own bread this year and I did it! This is the very first time I make this delicious bread and I am very happy with the result.
After looking at recipes online for a couple of hours, I decided to make the one I saw on this video. It is basically the bread that is common in Mexico City, other parts of the country have variations of this bread. This recipe calls for orange blossom water, but if you can't find it, you can use anise seeds or extract (most recipes I found in English use this variation) This is a long recipe and I am including a couple of videos to help with the explanation. I am also using metric measurements, but you can easily convert them to English using the converter on the sidebar. If you have any questions or feel like I don't explain myself very well, please leave me a comment and I'll review this post. Without more ado here it is, one of my favorite Mexican breads:
- •250 gr all-purpose flour
- •50 gr sugar
- •1 package dry yeast (7 gr)
- •75 gr butter, at room temperature
- •2 TBSP orange blossom water
- •1 pinch salt
- •100 ml milk
- •2 eggs
- •zest of one lime and one orange
- •2 TBSP butter
- •1 cup of sugar
- In the bowl of a stand-up mixer cream flour, sugar, yeast and butter at slow speed.
- Add eggs one by one, milk, orange blossom, salt and zest. Turn speed to medium and mix for about 10 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let it rest for 1 hour in a warm place or until it doubles in size.
- Punch the dough in the middle and turn over a floured surface. Divide in 7 equal parts. 6 of those parts will become your loaves and the last one will be used to make the decorations. This video shows how to make the loaves, the "bones" that will go on top of them and how to place them. It is in Spanish but it is visually self-explanatory. Basically, you form the 6 loaves, place them on a greased baking sheet and let them double in size, covered. The bones and little balls to decorate the bread are placed on a plate, covered and put in the fridge to keep them firm and avoid they expand.
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C (about 355°F).
- Decorate the bread (refer to video) and bake for about 20 minutes. It will be ready when it is golden brown in the outside.
- In the meantime melt the 2 TBSP of butter in a small pot. As soon as the bread comes out of the oven brush melted butter and sprinkle sugar over them. You can also place the sugar on a flat plate and roll the loaves in it.
- Let the bread cool down and enjoy with a cup of hot Mexican chocolate.
Día de Muertos is one of the most delicious Mexican traditions and you can enjoy its flavors with this delicious bread. The work going into it is considerable, but it is worth it. Especially when you are enjoying it with a mug of delicious Mexican chocolate. I'll leave you with some videos about this holiday. The first one is another recipe for bread of the dead baked by three very cute little chefs:
This video is the Day of the Dead celebration in Oaxaca, very colorful and festive:
And a travel channel clip about Mexico's Day of the Dead:
¡Buen provecho!

Polushin Update
Submitted by pete on February 10, 2005 - 23:29
I just got a response back from [url=http://www.russianprospects.com/public/aboutus_staff.php]Evgeny Belashenko[/url] of [url=http://russianprospects.com]Russianprospects.com.[/url] If you can pull yourself away from that picture of the lovely Ms. Melikova, Evgeny speculates that Alex Polushin's lack of games at the Superleague level may be due to him not fitting with CSKA's new system under Slava Bykov who took over from the venerable Viktor Tikhonov. Whatever the reason, Polushin's mere 11 games at the Superleague level (3-3-6 with 4PIMs in those games) has led to some consternation amongst some Lightning fans. Others who are more vocal and less knowledgable on the web (AOL bottomfeeders I'm looking in your direction) have even gone so far to claim that Polushin doesn't deserve to be a highly rated prospect because he, to paraphrase their argument, hasn't played any hockey in two seasons. And while it is true he missed most of last season with a knee injury, Polushin has NOT been merely serving popcorn in CSKA's pressbox this season. To the contrary, he has been playing for CSKA2 in the Farm/First League where he is at over a point a game pace at 10-13-23 in 21 games. To put that in some measure of perspective, a couple of seasons ago when Dimitry Kazionov was playing in the First League he had 14-13-27 in 34 games. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds now for Polushin over the next year. If there is an incompatibility issue between Polushin and Bykov, could a transfer to another Superleague club be on the horizon? Or, could this development help motivate Polushin to drop his silly demand not to play in the AHL and come to North America to play for Springfield? Either way, something has to give. Clearly Polushin is too good to be stuck in the Farm League. In his time in the Superleague over the last two years he has put up 13 points in 24 games (.542 PPG) which isn't far behind the kind of output Superleague stars like Anton But are putting up this season. Polushin has been ready, and is still ready to take his game to the next level be it the Superleague or the AHL. If he isn't being afforded those opportunities in CSKA he needs to move on elsewhere or risk stagnation in his development. Time is of the essence. So let me extend a personal plea to Alex Polushin and his agent: get yourselves to Springfield. Drop the demands for the one-way contract and stop telling the Lightning you won't play in the minors. How in the world can playing in Springfield be a slap in the face when you're currently stuck in the minors back home in Russia? Suck it up, do your year or two in Springfield, prove you're the prospect we all know you are and then you'll receive all the respect and rewards you feel should be afforded you.

This time, the Central College football team found a way.
Frustrated by some games that got away in the season's first half, the Dutch made the plays that mattered in a 23-13 Iowa Conference win over Buena Vista Saturday.
The Dutch (3-3 overall, 1-2 conference) turned Buena Vista away from the goal line in the closing moments and cornerback Eric Larson (junior, Waverly, Waverly-Shell Rock HS) then swatted away a potential game-tying 23-yard field goal try. It was scooped up by linebacker Michael Young (senior, Country Club Hills, Ill., Hillcrest HS)who raced 85 yards for the decisive touchdown, leaving Buena Vista (0-6 overall, 0-3 conference) as the team left pondering the what ifs after a game the Beavers led much of the way.
"We've lost some close games," coach Jeff McMartin said. "We needed something to bounce back on, to feel good about and to turn the momentum back in our direction. We definitely captured some of that today. It's a great win for us and a hard-fought win. We're certainly happy to pull it out."
As McMartin warned, Buena Vista's record is not reflective of the team's ability. The Beavers were dominant in the early going and held a 212-71 halftime advantage in total yards. An eight-play 48-yard touchdown drive on the game's opening series and a 19-yard Tyler Stolen field goal at the start of the second quarter gave Buena Vista a 10-0 lead. The Dutch were fortunate it was that close as those scores sandwiched a 77-yard drive that ended with a fumble at the Central 5-yard line. Buena Vista quarterback Bobby Brown also had a second-quarter pass picked off by defensive back Jacob Edleman (senior, Mechanicsville, North Cedar HS). Edleman returned it 40 yards to the Buena Vista 5, setting up Central's only first-half score.Grant McArdle (senior, Red Oak, Stanton HS) caught a 5-yard TD toss by Aaron Eiseler (junior, Newberg, Ore., Red Mountain, Ariz. HS).
I credit our defense for keeping it close in the first half, because BV came out of the gate very strong and we didn't," McMartin said. "It's a credit to what our defense was able to do."
But powerful Buena Vista running back Dylan Barrett, who muscled his way to 70 yards on 16 carries, missed the second half because of injury. Meanwhile the Dutch defense stiffened and the offense gained its footing. Yet not before BV stretched its lead to 13-6 on a 38-yard Stolen kick on the Beavers' first drive of the second half.
Kevin Sheldon (junior, West Des Moines, Valley HS), who earlier missed his first extra-point try since 2011, answered with a 35-yard field goal to make it 13-9 with 2:07 left in the third quarter.
A 12-play, 80-yard scoring drive finally put the Dutch on top with 10:25 remaining in the game.Blaine Forsythe (junior, Pella) made a diving catch in the end zone on a 12-yard Eiseler pass.
"We knew that BV was not going to just let us run the ball all day," McMartin said. "We've got to keep working to get better at that. We felt like there were things in the passing game that we could go to and we were able to do that. We probably ended up throwing a little bit more than we went into the game plan thinking we would have to. But credit our receivers and credit Aaron (Eiseler) and the protection. For the most part we executed pretty well."
But Buena Vista, which was masterful at converting on 3rd and long, assembled an 18-play drive that consumed 8:45 and began to appear destined to give the Beavers their first win at Pella since 1979. Buena Vista converted on three third downs on the series, including 3rd and 16, and got a third down pass interference call in the end zone on the Dutch 5-yard line. That gave Buena Vista first down at the 2, but the Dutch twice stopped running back Cody Cole for no gain and then defensive end Danny Samson (senior, Baxter, CMB HS) delivered Central's fourth sack of the day.
"Another huge thing was the tough-mindedness of our defense on the goal-line," McMartin said. "To think you've got them stopped on the five and then get a penalty on third down and have to stop them three more times can be deflating. But they came back and did it. That whole series was critical."
The stops set up the 23-yard field goal try that produced Larson's block and Central's clinching TD.
"Eric Larson has played tremendous all season and this was just another example of his playmaking ability," McMartin said. "We felt like we just missed a block on the last one."
Larson, the reigning Division III indoor heptathlon and outdoor decathlon national champion in track and field, got his second block of the season.
"He blocks them all the time on us in practice," McMartin said. "He's got the gift of speed, size and talent. Not everybody can do that."
Buena Vista held a lopsided statistical advantage, gaining 397 yards to Central's 212. BV held a 24-15 edge in first downs, rushing for 108 yards and passing for 289 as Brown completed 19 of 39 passes.
"BV is a good football team," McMartin said. "We told our players all week that their record is not indicative of the quality of players they have.
Central rushed for 147 yards, including 42 by Josh Osborn (junior, Burlington). Eiseler completed 20 of 34 passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns.
"Yards, first downs and stats often don't tell the whole story," McMartin said. "We've been in both situations, where we've had more yards and things and haven't won and games like this where we have. It's about making key plays at critical times. That's ultimately what football is about."
Aside from the final score, the big stat that leaned in Central's favor was turnovers as the Dutch held a 2-0 edge. Buena Vista was nine of 15 on 3rd down conversions but Central was effective as well, converting 10 of 16.
Central is at home again next Saturday, meeting Luther College in a 1 p.m. league game at Ron and Joyce Schipper Stadium. Luther is 2-4 overall and 1-2 in the league after Wartburg stopped its upset bid at Decorah Saturday, 24-21.

HistoryBuff: I did get see that the Virginia Civl War Museum was across the road from the Amtrak Train/Thruway Bus Station did see the Virginia Tidewater Veterans Memorial.
Selma: Where was that historybuff?
HistoryBuff: In Virginia Beach, VA
Seventies: Those teacher stories are good stories. My mom and my aunt used to teach in the Delta of Mississippi during the 1960's
daviss: I have two Jeanes teachers that I know of in line. May be more
HistoryBuff: off of Jefferson Avenue.
Seventies: I have to go back and listen to part one...
Selma: Did you take Amtrak..then take a bus across the Bay
HistoryBuff: Yes I did, Selma.
alt: karoshi8, where are these intra-family marrigeas taking place? In Ohio? What surnames are invovled?
Seventies: Hey all I have to run... everyone have a great afternoon. Enjoy the slightly warmer weather. :}
daviss: wait!
Seventies: yesss????
daviss: Walk lol have a good one
Seventies: lol bye daviss... lol
alt: bye Seventies
HistoryBuff: Okay Seventies
karoshi8: Green from VA with Stephens, Norman, Calloway, etc in Gallia, Pickaway, and Hocking counties.
daviss: karoshi8 do you belong to a Gen group? and what about you HistoryBuff?
alt: okay karoshi8, I know the surnames, but not too familiar with the those names in those counties.
HistoryBuff: I'm financial with AAGHS and NGS. I'm also financial with ASAALH.
karoshi8: No, I don't daviss.
daviss: I was just going to see if there were anyone in group that is searching Texas looking in all avenues
karoshi8: I suppose I'm just getting tired of typing the same info over and over again. Tree to tree.
alt: karoshi8, that's why I recommend having 1 database with a good genealogy software program.... the software will "sort out" the connecting families and you only have to enter a person's data 1 time.
karoshi8: What do you use?
alt: I use Roots Magic, the full version, karoshi8 and I have over 23,000 individual in the database. and the software keeps the family "inter-connections" in line for me.
karoshi8: I'll have to get that. Thanks!
alt: it is particularly good in the situations of 2nd & 3rd marriages when there are connecting lines between those family lines old family vs new family.
Selma: 23,000..thats a whole lot of folks alt.
alt: step-children & half-siblings, etc.
daviss: I probably shoud upgrade my RootsMagic to the full version
alt: yeah Selma, that's what happens when you input the siblings & their children to the families of your 'direct' ancestors.. then when you add the spouses and the parents of the spouses for these family ties, the databse just "explodes" LOL
daviss: yep lol
HistoryBuff: lol
alt: but you will be amazed at the early family connections you uncover from 100-150-200 years ago.
daviss: alt thank you.. I really need to get more active with inputing my folks I really admire you
HistoryBuff: Same here.
alt: one of those folks you need to input just might lead you to mariah daviss, LOL
daviss: just may be alt I better run now..Alt what time is the game in your state?

HistoryBuff: Laters Alt.
Selma: Time for me to run too..have a great day
HistoryBuff: My turn to sign off. Goodbye.

So: you've got a problem room, you've chosen your paint colour and are therefore - or so you think - ready to decorate. Well think again. Before so much as reaching for the roller or brandishing a single brush, there are issues to consider and if you don't indulge your dream scheme with a little forethought, the likelihood is you'll live to regret it in some way, at least. Being well informed, after all, is paramount and there are things you can do, while planning, to make your project run as smoothly as it possibly can. Cue the mood board. That oft' overlooked, regularly misunderstood and sometimes maligned tool will help you on the road to design salvation. In layman's terms, the mood board is a crucial mechanic with which to ease uncertainty; a device that proffers vital assurance, before committing to expense and upheaval. To fail to plan, after all, is to plan to fail but if you follow our logic, every project you tackle will roll out successfully.
So do we practise what we preach? Absolutely. Along with the thousand or so rooms we've redesigned thus far, we've created a thousand or so thematically appropriate mood boards. Historically, some of our staff have viewed the mood board as an unnecessary obstacle to hinder timely completion of projects, but the erstwhile tool is, as far as we're concerned, an important stage if our visions are to be carried out correctly. As a starting point to any design, mood boards are indispensable.
The mood board we've used to illustrate today's opus is from a U.K. project on which we're working. As part of a scheme to re-identify several rooms in the home of a London banker, we're also reworking a semi-derelict integral garage to the side of our client's house. Felix, the 17-year-old son of our paymaster, expressly asked for a casual domain at odds with his father's more retrained instruction. Essentially, a secondary lounge/bedroom where Felix can chill with his peers, we're creating a loft living mood with a white painted backdrop and red accents. To soften the contemporary feel, we're incorporating an antler chandelier, grey rugs on a poured rubber floor and monochrome accent wallpaper. The scheme will be pulled together with ruby ceramics and glasswares, a trio of red leather bean bags and an outsized platform bed.
The mood board concept
A mood board, put simply, is a visual realization of ideas. By combining proposed paint colours, wallpaper scraps, fabric swatches and flooring — alongside pictures of furniture and accessories — you'll find it easier to stage your work due to the fact you'll be able to see elements of everything at one time. With schematic samples carefully collected, you can assess colour combos and then adjust everything until it all comes together. It's sensible to start off with a key piece around which you hope to build the room; that anchor could be a wallpaper sample, an image of a credenza or perhaps a favourite rug. If you've spotted an appealing vignette in a magazine, simply tear out the page. It may be that what you think will work will look less than comfortable when combined with other aspects of your mood board.
Building a mood board
Kick everything off with a section of strong cardboard or a piece of painted MDF; choose a colour that reflects the majority backdrop of your room. A3 size is perfect, but feel free to scale up — or down — to suit your own needs. Tester paint pots are useful, but to avoid their associated costs, obtain colour chips and sync these with material, wallpaper and flooring. Some fabric outlets will charge you for sample cuts, but these costs are generally deducted from subsequent purchases. If you're working around an existing furniture piece, photograph it and position the image on your board. If you're starting from scratch, download images of items you like from the Internet or clip pictures from magazines and brochures.
Think proportion
It's useful to scale each sample according to how it will appear in your room. If painting all four walls, for example, colour the entire board in a uniform tone. If wallpapering, endeavour to add the relevant proportion of paper even if that means almost entirely covering your board. Tip: leave a white painted band around the perimeter edge to represent window frames and ceiling if your mood board is crafted upon a wallpaper base. When laying on fabric, ensure it's scaled to represent the quantity that will appear in your design. Follow the same principle for soft furnishings such as upholstery, toss pillows and throws.
Playing with the pieces
Assemble your mood board in the room it references; it's useful to look at the way in which component parts react to both natural and electric light. Some designers like to assemble their mood boards to reflect where each aspect will appear in the project room and, as such, will position flooring samples at the bottom, upholstery and curtaining in the middle and paint or wallpaper colours around and above. While this route is certainly viable, we find it easier to arrange layers and then play around with them to ascertain what works and what doesn't in terms of colour, mood and contrast. When arranging pieces, avoid attaching them with glue as this will limit flexibility and forgo the flexibility that comes with being able to move things around; we find pins, tape or Blu Tack much more appropriate. Tip: photograph your mood board as you build it and carry images during subsequent sourcing trips; doing this will allow you to remember what goes where if you have to disassemble anything and take it with you.
Sort out combinations
With all samples at hand, now is the time to be ruthless. If combinations don't work, then it's a surefire indicator they'll look like uncomfortable when realized as part of your room. And, of course, we don't need to explain the logic of changing your mind at mood board stage to avoid costly regrets when you've bought and installed your kit. If you're not "feeling it," hit the stores for further samples and jump back on line to find pieces that will comfortably replace those that didn't quite marry. The most successful plans are those that evolve after careful consideration and the loveliest surprises are those which are birthed from unexpected, even accidental pairings.

For more than fifty years now, physicians have tried to raise people's awareness regarding tobacco related illness and death, but even with all the anti-smoking ads and the increased excises, a lot of people continue their nicotine addiction. Trying to quit is not an easy process and there have been many ways suggested and praised, from nicotine patches to the newest electronic cigarette. However, giving up smoking is just about strength of character and will, as it is about finding the right method for you. Determination is certainly a factor here, but one should also keep in mind that every body is different and what worked just fine for your friend or relative, may not work for you. The recent invention of the electronic cigarette, however, seems to be enjoying a lot of popularity, although lately, the e-cigarette industry was hit by an FDA report, calling them dangerous.
Taking first things first, supporters of the elektronisk cigaret are claiming that it is the best tool in one's efforts of giving up smoking. It has the feel and look of the real thing, but without any of the harmful substances. The e cigaret does contain nicotine, but none of the other chemicals, such as tar or carcinogens. So basically, it has three main components: the cartridge, which is the part you put in your mouth, an atomizer, being the heating element, through which the liquid is being vaporized and a battery, which works as a power supply. The elektronisk cigaret also makes use of a flavouring component, which, believe it or not, was one of the aspects for which it has been criticized. The FDA report stated that young people, who are not yet smokers, can be attracted by the different flavours of the e cigaret and thus tempted to try the real thing.
However, the electronic cigarettes industry has a lot to bet on, considering the benefits that opting for an e cigaret brings. Apart from the fact that it has none of the dangerous and extremely harmful substances of real tobacco, such as carcinogens or cancer causing agents, tar and second-hand smoke, the innovative product also eliminates other disturbing elements like smell, the bad breath or the discolouration of teeth. Furthermore, they had such a good start-off and were so well received by people, as a healthy alternative to smoking, that a couple of airlines even allowed their use during flights.
Health campaigners on the other side have argued that going from a tobacco cigarette to an elektronisk cigaret is not a solution. The only solution is giving up smoking in all of its forms, otherwise, sooner or later, people will go back to tobacco or just alternate between the two. Others stated their concerns with propylene glycol, which is a main ingredient in an electronic cigarette as it helps create the illusion of smoke, and how it had not been tested thorough enough.
All things considered, one can try many ways to quit smoking, such as a nicotine patch or gum or even the application of medication, but if the invention of such a device as an electronic cigarette was needed and it works, then it may as well be regarded as a very good, if not best, method.

Hey guys,
I'm relatively new to kiteboarding but I think I'm a pretty solid intermediate rider? Anyhow, with pretty pathetic days at 3rd Ave this past week, I'm dying to get out on the water. Some of the guys at the 3rd Ave. parking lot said they were heading off to Alameda, but I was hesitant to head over there.
Any advice on what Alameda riding is like? Crowded or not?
Are there any cams or weather sites like the arbor-studios one for 3rd Ave?

Historic Harmony, a village settled in 1805 is e periencing a threat to its quaint, historic setting as a proposed housing development looms as a prospect on the opposite side of the Connoquenessing River in Jackson Township.
The negative impact to this historic community ould be felt as increased traffic congests its narrow streets adding noise and pollution to a peaceful ommunity. Parking, which is already compromised, would add to the woes of streets choked with traffic as the proposed community of 451 residences doubles the size of Harmony.
Bordering the proposed development is a river walk trail that was formerly used by the Delaware Indians, then George Washington en route to Ft. Le Boeuf and later still remaining as the original roadbed of Route 19 over which munitions were carried from Pittsburgh to Erie in the War of 1812. This trail leads to a historic 1825 Mennonite Meetin House, now on the National Register. The Meeting house would then overlook a dense housing development and the developer plans to change the river walk into an emergency access road.
The flood plain that would be developed would eradicate the former fields used by the Harmonists to graze their Merino sheep and cultivate their vinyards. Currently those fields are home to white tailed deer, red fox, countless bird species and a wide variety of trees.
These fields should be left as an interpretative Iandscape developed by the Harmonists as they began their new life in America and as an open space for trail hikers and Harmony residents and visitors seeking respite from their hectic lifestyles.
This is an example of irresponsible development.

As first lady, Pat Nixon encouraged Americans to donate their time and service to volunteerism, continued preservation efforts begun by Jackie Kennedy and expanded access to the White House for previously marginalized groups, including foreign language speakers and those with physical disabilities. She traveled extensively, visiting nearly 80 countries. Though Pat had eagerly supported her husband's early political ambitions, she soon grew to resent the public intrusion into her family's private life. Though she continued to defend her husband from his critics, she was deeply wounded by the scandal that drove him from office, telling one of her daughters, "Watergate is the only crisis that ever got me down."

Secretary Vilsack has been known to speak metaphorically about two forms of agriculture – small scale and industrial – as "two sons," both of whom he loves equally, often to the outrage of proponents of both models. And if theUSDA's recent history seems evidence that he loves his industrial son more, the Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food program introduced in 2009 speaks to what the Secretary rarely admits in person: that his small-scale son needs his love, too.
The Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food (KYF2 ) program's mission is to better connect consumers with local producers and to help consumers develop a better understanding of how food gets to their plates. And they've been doing a great job.
In a recent presentation, "Regional Food Hubs: Linking Consumers to New Markets," KYF2 describes the concept of the regional food hub ("a centrally located facility with a business management structure facilitating the aggregation, storage, processing, and/or marketing of locally/regionally produced food products"), explains how these hubs help promote the program's mission, and highlights two thriving food hubs: La Montanita Food Hub and Appalachian Sustainable Development Rural Food Hub. The presentation also describes different types of hubs – hybrid markets, shipping point markets, wholesale/terminal produce markets and super-hubs called "healthy food hubs," which "create locations where urban agriculture, farmers markets, health screening, and nutritional education collide in one essential location."
Connecting consumers and small producers has been an ongoing struggle. Although the need is now being addressed by farmers' markets, CSAs and other programs around the country, moving away from our current industrial food system will take an even bigger collaborative effort. KYF2's thorough analysis of regional food hubs shows that they are a great alternative for smaller producers to gather together and make more of an impact. Not only that, but the hubs can provide other benefits for farmers (business support, pre-season planning), consumers (access to healthy food) and the surrounding communities (new jobs).
Overall, food hubs seem to be a viable option to connect consumers with producers – and with support from the USDA and its KYF2 program, the concept has the potential to spread around the country (more than it already has!). We're excited that KYF2's Food Hub Subcommittee work plan supports this expansion, calling for the creation of a regional food hub resource guide along with an assessment of existing USDA funding streams to find those that could be used to foster the development of regional food hubs. With these two important deliverables, we can hope to see growth soon.

This data collection contains summary statistics on population and housing subjects derived from the responses to the 2010 Census questionnaire. Population items include sex, age, average household size, household type, and relationship to householder such as nonrelative or child. Housing items include tenure (whether a housing unit is owner-occupied or renter-occupied), age of householder, and household size for occupied housing units. Selected aggregates and medians also are provided. The summary statistics are presented in 71 tables, which are tabulated for multiple levels of observation (called "summary levels" in the Census Bureau's nomenclature), including, but not limited to, regions, divisions, states, metropolitan/micropolitan areas, counties, county subdivisions, places, ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs), school districts, census tracts, American Indian and Alaska Native areas, tribal subdivisions, and Hawaiian home lands. There are 10 population tables shown down to the county level and 47 population tables and 14 housing tables shown down to the census tract level. Every table cell is represented by a separate variable in the data.
Each table is iterated for up to 330 population groups, which are called "characteristic iterations" in the Census Bureau's nomenclature: the total population, 74 race categories, 114 American Indian and Alaska Native categories, 47 Asian categories, 43 Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander categories, and 51 Hispanic/not Hispanic groups. Moreover, the tables for some large summary areas (e.g., regions, divisions, and states) are iterated for portions of geographic areas ("geographic components" in the Census Bureau's nomenclature) such as metropolitan/micropolitan statistical areas and the principal cities of metropolitan statistical areas.
The collection has a separate set of files for every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the National File. Each file set has 11 data files per characteristic iteration, a data file with geographic variables called the "geographic header file," and a documentation file called the "packing list" with information about the files in the file set. Altogether, the 53 file sets have 110,416 data files and 53 packing list files. Each file set is compressed in a separate ZIP archive (Datasets 1-56, 72, and 99). Another ZIP archive (Dataset 100) contains a Microsoft Access database shell and additional documentation files besides the codebook.
The National File (Dataset 99) constitutes the National Update for Summary File 2. The National Update added summary levels for the United States as a whole, regions, divisions, and geographic areas that cross state lines such as Core Based Statistical Areas.

Hahn foresees quick turnaround following transition
CLEVELAND -- Sitting in a Dallas hotel suite a little less than two years ago, general manager Ken Williams uttered a word to the assembled media that White Sox fans neither wanted to hear or accept.

CLEVELAND -- Sitting in a Dallas hotel suite a little less than two years ago, general manager Ken Williams uttered a word to the assembled media that White Sox fans neither wanted to hear or accept.
Rebuild.View Full Game Coverage
Make that modified rebuild, as Williams clarified following a trade of closer Sergio Santos to Toronto and throughout a successful 2012 season.
Fast forward to Wednesday afternoon, approximately 45 minutes after the non-waiver Trade Deadline had come and gone, and present general manager Rick Hahn was asked about the "R" word again during a conference call to summarize his team's actions over the past few days. White Sox fans now are hoping for a rebuild, almost pleading for that sort of action with the squad entering Wednesday's contest against the Indians sitting at 40-64 and 20 games behind the American League Central-leading Tigers.
But Hahn would not go there, at least not specifically, even if the team's actions over the past few days would indicate a new vision in the works.
"I don't think we need to put a title on it or print up T-shirts," Hahn said. "But people need to understand that we're obviously not satisfied with what has transpired in the first four months of the season. We've seen what they've seen, and it's got to the point where we're starting to transition this club to a new core."
That transition hit full throttle late Tuesday night, when veteran starter Jake Peavy was sent to Boston in a three-team trade also involving the Tigers that brought back outfielder Avisail Garcia, Minor League infielder Cleulius Rondon and Minor League pitchers Francelis Montas and Jeffrey Wendelken. Despite Montas having hit triple-digits with his fastball, the White Sox centerpiece of this deal becomes the 6-foot-4, 240-pound Garcia.
Garcia figures to emerge as an everyday player for the future version of the White Sox, although he will be stationed in center field with Triple-A Charlotte for the immediate future. In Garcia and Brandon Jacobs, whom the White Sox acquired from Boston in the Matt Thornton deal, the White Sox added power-hitting, versatile outfielders who can help the South Siders find sustained success.
Sustained success remains the goal, and the White Sox now have some financial flexibility to potentially use in the free-agent market this upcoming offseason or even leading into the 2015 campaign. They also could choose to use it for international spending, as they did this year with outfielder Micker Adolfo Zapata.
Add a solid young pitching staff to that ability to spend, and the White Sox rebuild mode actually hovers at something only slightly more than modified.
"This offseason will tell the tale of what they really want to do," said White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham. "You have too many good arms in the rotation and in the 'pen that are young and that are controlled for a long time. That makes me think you can't say rebuilding. I think you can just say emerging or something like that."
"We're in a very good position with our pitching that that's going to allow us to be competitive in the very near future," Hahn said. "But we need to make improvements offensively. We need a more diversified offensive attack. We need better defense. We need a core athletic combination of position players on our roster. And we'll get there."
Although no names were provided, Hahn stated that more of the future will be on display with the White Sox and arrive from the Minors in August or as September callups at the latest. The White Sox could have sped up the process if they were able to move right fielder Alex Rios or even shortstop Alexei Ramirez before Wednesday's Deadline, but Hahn didn't express any disappointment for what they were able to accomplish in movement within their overall plan.
Sitting last in the AL Central stands as Hahn's primary disappointment regarding the 2013 campaign, marking his first at the helm after working 12 years previously with the organization. But now the club has a chance to study and evaluate players such as Josh Phegley and Andre Rienzo before going forward. So, even this year's dark cloud has a silver lining.
"One thing that hasn't changed around here certainly is the desire to win," Hahn said. "We're never going to write off a season, especially when you have the caliber of pitching that we feel we have. So the notion that anyone would be less than enthusiastic about what lies ahead is not entirely accurate because our intention is to win again, win consistently and make that happen as quickly as possible.
"Our goal is going to be for sustained success to get us on the level where we're in the playoffs or contending for the playoffs for an extended period of time. Obviously, based on the first four months of this season, we have some work to do. That work has begun and we're going to continue on it."

Cloud Owner Manifesto: 12 Habits of Successful Cloud Builders
People of IT:
A powerful global change has begun. Through cloud services and automation, people are discovering and inventing new ways to deliver IT services with blinding speed. As a direct result, IT Operations are changing — and those that adopt a pragmatic cloud are creating competitive differentiation for their business faster than most companies.
But there are many stones on the road to Damascus on which to stub you toes.
Some IT shops moving to a cloud are not yet ready to take ownership of that Private or Hybrid Cloud deployment or to change their operations. These shops will not be successful.
Some expect their vendor to build it and own it. Other shops are relying on third parties. This will work at first but it will quickly get too expensive.
Finally, some of the visionaries want to own it themselves but don't know where to start. These organizations need to build a maturity roadmap that gets them started quickly and easily so they can learn what works and what needs improvement.
We have worked with a large number of organizations. This has given us perspective on the 12 habits of successful cloud implementations. Here they are.
12 Habits of Successful Cloud Builders:
1. They invest in training from their cloud automation software provider so that they can take ownership of and drive the technical work.
2. Cloud builders are indeed that, their goal is to build: over time they rely less on vendors and third party services to build their cloud; they have a plan for that transition.
3. Moving to cloud requires new roles. Builders define new roles in their organizations to take into account the new skills and competencies needed. They think through career implications and pathways.
4. Program management is the key to success. Like remodeling their house or building green field to spec, they have a Program Manager, he owns the project deliverables and drives the engagement across the IT organization and with the software vendor and services partner.
5. Cloud builders have a Cloud Architect; she owns the strategy and roadmap of my cloud services and technical implementation.
6. Building a cloud is not just about infrastructure, but also about end user centric services. They will have a Service Designer; she owns the definition and implementation of cloud services.
7. Orchestration, the processes and workflows that do the work technical integration and provision, will require having a Workflow Author.
8. All this building requires the right tools. Successful builders have a Technical Architect/Engineer who will drive integrations, installations, system administration and upgrade planning.
9. Someone pays the bill (and reaps the rewards) for this move to cloud. The best projects have an enlightened, visionary, but yet pragmatic Executive Sponsor who understand and knows why the organization is moving cloud and will fight for the project at the CIO and CEO's table.
10. 2012 is all about results real fast. Builders want to move in right away. Even if the DVR and LCD TV are not installed. Cloud Builders will get their cloud into production ASAP. Without immediate results they can't enable the Executive Sponsor and the support for their project erodes quickly.
11. Like non-cloud environments, they understand that typical development, test, staging, production instances of the cloud automation and virtualization software should be deployed for release/move to production best practices. Moving to cloud means they take their best practices from the pre-cloud era and apply as needed.
12. It is rare that a builder builds the client's house of their dreams that will never change. Cloud is no different; those successful builders understand that the cloud automation platform and services offered will undergo a roadmap progression of functionality.
Nothing on this list is surprising. Follow my twitter feed at https://twitter.com/#!/Cloud_Wayne to see how Cisco Intelligent Automation is helping those pragmatic cloud builders.

Hi there every one, here every person is sharing these experience, thus it's good to read this webpage, and I used to visit this web site all the time.
This is a fantastic post. The logical and informative post you have provided about cloud deployment can be utilized by all involved with the entire process. We (at Baynetwork) are very excited to see the strong and growing interest in private cloud development requests.

Tina Fey plays a successful businesswoman yearning to have a child. After learning she has a million in one chance of getting pregnant, she finds a surrogacy center and begins the process of finding a baby mama, played by Amy Poehler.
When asked about the research they conducted into birthing centers and natural birth methods, the actresses discussed the experts they had on set:
Tina Fey: We had some experts on set who were wonderful, like very earthy women who came up to me and were like (in a breathy voice), "Are you thinking about having another child now?" and I was like "No," and she was like "You should consider a water birth" and I'm like, "Didn't you hear the part where I said no!"
Amy Poehler: The same woman was telling pregnant people in like their 9th month . . .
TF: Because a lot of the other women in the class were very, very pregnant . . .
AP: And she was explaining nice ways to make love and the women were like, "Uh, no."
TF: But by the end of it, I did want to have a water birth.
AP: You don't need to have a baby to have a water birth.
To read the rest of the interview,
They were also asked about the stress that new parents face today and the differences that go into raising a city child:
TF: My daughter starts preschool next year so I just went through the process of taking her to her preschool interviews and you are just hoping "Please don't poop yourself during that time."
AP: Did she wear a little power suit?
TF: Yeah, she had a little power suit!
AP: And did she have a teeny tiny brief case?
TF: She had little teeny tiny resumes.
AP: Made of candy!
TF: Yeah, she ate it. That you don't find in the suburbs.
AP: Yeah I like that moment [in the film] where they say Wingspan and Banjo do you want to play with Groovy and Cheyenne?
Given Fey's decision to give her daughter a traditional name Alice, we asked the women about Hollywood's penchant for giving their children odd names:
TF: I like interesting names. My daughter's middle name is sort of unusual, but they are all family names. I think that when you have a kid you have to try to think that when this child is an adult, how is this name going to suit the person. I like the name Apple.
AP: I'm just gonna name my kids numbers. New Dude, Little Dude, and eight George Foremans.
With Knocked Up and Juno having already covered pregnancy over the past year, the women were also asked why Hollywood is giving pregnancy so much attention:
TF: I think it is a universal experience and there may be a generation of comedy writers that are hitting that age where they all have kids and the guys would have written their dating fantasy comedies 15 years ago. People write what they know and it might be a generational thing.
AP: I think that Juno is very different from Knocked Up and our film is very different from that too. They're all kind of different. Although they all tend to deal with a similar topic that's really where it ends. But I think that our film is in the same way as Knocked Up it's just kind of straight up . . . with jokes.

HighViz establishes consultative "PR On-Demand" Program - Boutique firm challenges new clients to allow HighVizPR team work on innovative concepts within 24 hour period
Haymarket, VA, November 5, 2009: HighViz Consulting Group, (HighViz), www.highviz.net , a project company serving Information Technology, legal, manufacturing, small business, non-profit and associations and organizations working within federal agencies, is announcing its consulting "PR PROMO CHALLENGE". This unique offer provides the opportunity for promising on-demand companies and organizations to kick off a value-based trial PR campaign with a senior-level Public Relations Practitioner. This includes working out the beginning concept phase to a starting campaign for each potential client.
In addition, HighViz is offering to consult with those who are interested in taking the "Challenge", taking the customer step by step through case studies of public relations concepts. "This is how to put high visibility to a business entity's greatest advantage" Abbe Buck, HighViz's Principal Consultant and Lead Publicist explains, "By learning what has worked for others who have successfully used public relations promotion techniques, the business who must promote to grow will have a running start in working toward a more intuitive, viral PR planning."
What is the HighViz PR Promo Challenge?
HighViz asks to have those who would like to consider hiring them to put them to the test by asking the team to come up with ideas for their businesses within a business day's time. Abbe Buck also notes, "If HighViz can come up with a starter road map toward a promotional campaign and a COMPREHENSIVE strategy we will do all that we can to earn [our] customer's business. As WWII and adopted HVPR mascot Rosie the Riveter says "WE CAN DO IT!" --and most times we already have."

HighViz Consulting's 24/7 PR – PROMO Challenge works with an on-demand concept used within Fortune 500 companies such as IBM. HVCG asks that a form is completed on their website. Once the form is completed, HighViz will contact the marketing management who made the PR Challenge request. At this point, HighViz will do an assessment of the PR campaign needs of the organization, (normally a $1500 value). After the evaluation is completed, it will be presented to the organization, with suggestions, and a suggested "BRAND" or "CONCEPT" to put to use WITHIN ONE BUSINESS DAY (24 HOURS)
"In starting out with our current clients, the 24/7 "PR PROMO CHALLENGE" has worked well because as we thrive on deadlines, we can also share in the customer's sense of urgency to bring their ideas to fruition and their services "to market" , HighViz's Buck says. "We want to be 'challenged' by our customers to go the extra mile. We need these challenges! In an information-packed society, every business, from a 'mom and pop' to a major corporation, must have the opportunity to show who they are, what they provide, why they are in business. It is our job to help them showcase their best attributes."

"Now You See Me"
I like caper movies. A slick heist is pulled off, the cops are in hot pursuit and you don't know until the end if they get caught. What's not to like?
This film has a fresh take on the formula by adding in a magic theme. Four street magicians, united by a shadowy figure, perform audacious tricks, including robbing a bank and distributing the ill-gotten money to their audience in a Las Vegas casino. All the while a bungling FBI agent (the ponderous Mark Ruffalo) is trying unsuccessfully to catch up.
While the magic theme is steeped throughout, one need not be a fan of conjuring to appreciate the fast pace and clever plot. Unlike some movies in which the mystery is easily solved, leaving viewers waiting and waiting for the inevitable payoff, this film had me guessing until the final minutes.
My only real complaint: like "Oceans 11" before it, this ensemble movie is burdened by too large of a cast and hence lacks compelling characters.
Bloodless but frequent violence make this best for kids at least 11 years old. (PG-13: Violence, language and sex). 1 hour and 55 minutes.
Ratings (out of 4 stars):
Overall: 3 stars
Kids: 2 stars
Teens: 3 stars
Adults: 3 stars
Seniors: 3 stars
Should you watch it? Yes — an inventive, easy-to-digest crime film.
"Jack the Giant Slayer"
I had low expectations for this live-action remake of the classic "Jack and the Beanstalk" fairy tale. So I was pleasantly surprised by the end result of a fun, action-packed film, despite the overused Ye Olde England setting.
While the script is utterly predictable, given that we all know the underlying premise, the acting was fresh and the special effects convincing. Nicholas Hoult is charming as the improvised Jack who acquires the magic beans, while Eleanor Tomlinson is endearing as the princess inexorably in need of rescuing.
The giants Jack encounters at the top of the beanstalk are truly repulsive. And while all figments of computer-generated animation, they weave seamlessly into the scenes.
Lots of people and giants bite the dust, so not a good fit for kids younger than 10. (PG-13: Violence and language). 1 hour and 54 minutes.
Ratings (out of 4 stars):
Overall: 2½ stars
Kids: 3 stars
Teens: 3 stars
Adults: 2½ stars
Seniors: 2 stars
Should you watch it? Yes — a good enough fantasy film.
"G.I. Joe: Retaliation"
The first line of the film had me laughing — for all of the wrong reasons. As subtle as a howitzer, this bullet-o-rama sequel can't decide if it wants to be for an adult audience like "The Expendables" or be more palatable to the kids who own the action figures of the same name. So it splits the difference with mediocre results.
Dwayne Johnson plays the commando leader who kills lots of bad guys. If you're looking for plot or nuanced acting, keep on walking.
Too intense for kids younger than 11. (PG-13: Violence and language). 1 hour and 50 minutes.
Ratings (out of 4 stars):
Overall: 1½ stars
Kids: 2½ stars
Teens: 2 stars
Adults: 1½ stars
Seniors: ½ star
Should you watch it? No — solid action scenes don't compensate for lousy everything else.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - A charitable foundation has been set up to honor the memory of beloved Eastchester coach Dom Cecere.
Former friends, and players have formed the Dom Cecere Play For 10 Foundation, to honor Cecere's decades as an educator, mentor and coach in Westchester. The foundation will provide scholarships to college-bound students and engage in endeavors "consistent with Coach Cecere's life of selfless giving."
Cecere passed away on April 1 after losing a long battle to pancreatic cancer.
According to John Doherty, the president of the Dom Cecere Play For 10 Foundation, they "also plans to raise funds to construct a permanent memorial at Eastchester High School to forever honor and remember Coach Cecere's legacy of service to the Eastchester community and beyond."
"Both the scholarships and the memorial are fitting tributes to this remarkable figure who led a life of selfless giving to students over years while undergoing treatments for prostate cancer, leukemia, and pancreatic cancer," he said. "The scholarship, in particular, is consistent with Coach Cecere's personal wishes prior to his passing."
Cecere was named by the National Federation of State High School Associations Coaches as one of its coaches of the year in 2016. He amassed 737 wins as the coach of the Eastchester High School baseball team, the most in the history of New York State. He's also a member of the Westchester County and New York State Halls of Fame.
Cecere will also be celebrated with the inaugural Golden Eagle Service Award at the Eastchester Hall of Fame Ceremony on Thursday.
However, Doherty said that Cecere's most significant contributions came off the field, where "he instilled in his students and athletes the principles of working hard, playing by the rules, respecting one another, and carrying oneself with dignity. And for many young people like myself, he was a surrogate father who enabled us to fulfill our dreams."
Those interested in donating to the cause can do so by mailing checks to the Dom Cecere Play For 10 Foundation ℅ Jason Karol, Athletic Director, Eastchester High School, 2 Stewart Place, Eastchester, NY 10709 or by donating online at www.playfor10.org.

text: Critter Control specializes in yellow jacket removal, yellow jacket control and how to get rid of yellow jackets. Call an expert when you experience yellow jacket problems. Description Yellow jackets are most active during spring and summer months as they hibernate during winter. The pests keep diets of insects, nectar, and other sugary liquids. They fly around residential areas and parks bothering people and looking for trash, picnics, and plants. Appearance Common stinging pests, yellow jackets are black with yellow markings and are sometimes mistaken for bees. Female yellow jackets are about half an inch long, though queens are slightly bigger. The workers grow between 3/8 and 5/8 of an inch long. Yellow jackets have long antennae and anchor- shaped markings on their abdomens. Habitats Yellow jackets are found throughout North America. They are ground-nesting insects, so they often live in rodent burrows. Parks, yards, wooded areas, and fields are some of their favorite habitats. Entry Are yellow jackets known to enter homes or yards? Since they often construct their nests in yards, there is a possibility that yellow jackets will enter houses. Keeping garbage bins covered and away from doors and windows helps prevent the pests from getting inside. Also, homeowners should keep doors and windows shut unless properly screened. Homeowners can sometimes find yellow jackets in soffit spaces just beneath the roof. If the pests are able to get inside, yellow jackets in attic spaces may construct nests that prove difficult to remove. Damage Do yellow jackets harm people or property? Aggressive and territorial by nature, yellow jackets pose serious threats to people. Since their nests are often built into the ground, people tend to step on them by accident. Yellow jackets will then sting. Unlike bees, they are able to do so repeatedly. Control and Safety Avoid wearing scented lotions, perfumes, and hair products when spending time outside because they attract yellow jackets. If picnicking, never leave sugary drinks unattended and bring lids for all food containers. Finally, seek medical aid if stung in the mouth or throat, stung more than ten times, or if allergic to yellow jackets. Prevention and Removal Since yellow jackets are so aggressive and dangerous, individuals should never at tempt to flush out hives. Instead, contact professional pest control services. Critter Control specialists are trained to safely remove yellow jackets from yards.


text: College education in the United States has become a cruel joke. We endlessly push our high school kids to invest tens of thousands of dollars and at least four years of their lives to get a college education because they won't have any sort of a "future" without it. So they sign up for decades of debt slavery and spend years listening to pompous windbags fill their heads with utter nonsense. The sad truth is that most college courses are a total joke and they do very little to actually prepare those students for the real world. I know – I attended public universities in the United States for eight years. Most college courses are so easy that the family dog could pass them. When they finally graduate, our young people discover that they were lied to all along. The promised "good jobs" are not there for most of them, but the huge debts that they committed themselves to will follow them around permanently. When you are just starting out and you are not making a lot of money, having to make payments on tens of thousands of dollars of student loan debt can be absolutely crippling. This is why I say that college education in America is a giant money making scam. Our young people are seduced by the idea of college being a five year party that will provide an automatic ticket into the middle class, but the reality is that the only guarantee is that it is a ticket to serfdom unless you have wealthy parents that are willing to foot the bill for you. And bankruptcy laws have been changed to make it incredibly difficult to get rid of student loan debt, so once you have signed up for student loan debt slavery you are basically faced with two choices: either you are going to pay it or you are going to die with it.

Kalyn's Roasted Carrots and Mushrooms Recipe
Here is a slightly "Europeanised" recipe:) A very flavoursome and colourful side dish or a light meal on its own - definitely worth a try. As carrots play a star role in this dish, make sure to use good quality organic carrots.
Kalyn's Roasted Carrots and Mushrooms with Thyme and Parsley
(Ahjus küpsetatud šampinjonid ja porgandid)
400-500 grams organic carrots, cut into chunks
225 grams brown button mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried thyme
Maldon sea salt and black pepper
a generous handful of chopped parsley
Lay carrot chunks onto a medium size oven dish in one layer. Drizzle with olive oil, season with thyme, salt and pepper. Mix to coat evenly.
Roast in a pre-heated 225˚C oven for 15-20 minutes, until carrots start to soften a little.
Add the mushrooms, drizzle with some more olive oil and roast for another 15 minutes, until carrots are just tender and mushrooms softened.
Season and serve with some crusty bread as a light veggie meal, or as a side dish.
Other great carrot recipes to try:
Gingered carrots with feta cheese
Moroccan carrot salad with cumin & garlic
Carrots with rosemary and orange

Chloe - good! Let me know how you liked it!
Kalyn - thank YOU for a great recipe, much appreciated!
Ilva - I may have beaten you to making the dish, but you'll most definitely take more superior photos, so please, make it:)
Ak - indeed:) But seems that carrots and mushrooms are just a winning combo after all!
Zoubida - I guess fresh carrots from a farmer's market - even if not organically certified - would be as good. But as far as supermarket fare goes, organic is definitely better and more flavoursome.
Pamela - hope you'll be another convert to this recipe!
Paz - thanks! And you'd love this, with all those bright and yummy carrots!
My dear Mr RedSpider - I'm sure you could get carrots and mushrooms for breakfast somewhere in Guyana, no? Welcome to my blog;-)
Aari - tore kuulda! Ise mõtlesin ka järgmisel korral pastinaaki lisada - vahva, et maitseb! Ja aitäh kommenteerimast:)

I got this bike two weeks ago and I love it! I have been riding it for a 2 mile commute to work and back home and its awesome. The different gears are perfect for riding around town in case there is incline or you have to go up a hill!!! Everyone tells me how rad the think my bike is and they don't believe me when I tell them that its a 7 speed because it's a cruiser! Perfect combination. I am trying to convince all my friends to get this bike now so we can ride around together! Besides my bike, the buying experience was unbeatable. The guys at the shop were AWESOME. So helpful and kind. I got a bell and they put it on for me! They even found a way to help me fit it in my car to get it home (I have an Audi, so it was a tight squeeze) but we made it work! I recommend this place to everyone.

Very comfortable, easy to ride bike. This is the first bike I've owned/ridden in 14 years, purchased to get back in shape. The configuration of the bike allows me to sit comfortably, the angle of the handlebars allows me to ride without neck strain, and the saddle is comfortable. I told my very helpful salesman that I wanted a saddle that was NOT created by the design team of Torquemada and the Marquis de Sade, and this bike definitely meets my requirements! I'm very happy with my purchase, it's a great bike for riding around town and getting some exercise AND it's a nice looking bike as well.
