- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I love the ever changing look of my home! When I want to change my color scheme, I start with reupholstering my dining room chairs. Things snowball from there. I love antiques, but I also like the beach cottage look. I have tried very hard to incorporate both into my home. It has not been an easy feat, and it is an ongoing project. My style did not come from one trip to a furniture store. I enjoy the process and the evolution, as much as I enjoy the result.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space
- As most people who live in small spaces will tell you, the number one challenge is finding creative storage solutions. I have tried just about everything I can think of. I have bins stuffed under my beds and all my nooks and crannies are being utilized. I also found that in the laundry room, hanging things on the walls was a good way to store unused artwork. Another good solution was for me to simply declutter my home....it works wonders.

I like it.
I grew up with 4 kids, and 2 parents in a house that size. That was a real challenge.
Beautiful home! I really love the towels in the bathroom!
Oh, today has been a verrrry good day on Small Cool. This is scrumptiously delicious.
Hey there, just wondering how long it was between the time you submitted your home and when it was posted in the contest??? I submitted my place but suspect it didn't make the cut :-( Appreciate hearing back from you!
" I love antiques, but I also like the beach cottage look. I have tried very hard to incorporate both into my home. It has not been an easy feat, and it is an ongoing project. "
Oh I know what you mean! Trying to find a happy medium between the two styles is challenging and I think I'm throwing in the towel on the beach-cottage look. Anyway, lovely home and I love the dark stain wood furniture in a light home, very dreamy.
I love your living room especially! Such a lovely house!
Eclectic modern, shows a sense for travel taste with warmth and design.
This is an inviting room that beckons to the rest of the home, come see me!
Nicely done in a small area without over decorating.
I like it very much.
Copper molds FTW!
@Otilly, I remember your entry from a previous year... it helped motivate me to enter my Arlington apartment this year. Thanks for the inspiration!
Plus I think your name is awesome as it reminds me of mine! I like unsual names.
Love the double duty furnishings!
I like how different this is. It feels homey as opposed to overly put-together or modern... which is awesome. Nice job!!
I was hooked from the first photo. Very homey :)
Full disclosure: I am Otilia's husband. When we met, I lived in an apartment with a punching bag in the living room and a foosball table instead of a dining room table. We've come a long way since then. Otilia is always on the lookout for antiques at local thrift stores and on Craigslist. Sometimes I complain as I am carting one piece out to replace it with a new one. However, I must admit that I enjoy living in a place that I can be proud of when friends come to visit. She has a unique design style that I love. I wish you could see the rest of our home, but the contest limits the number of photos. Good luck to all of the contestants.
Nice work, I really liked the atmosphere, the sconces in the dinning room are quite lovely.
I love this place. Very cozy and homey, and similar to things that I would pick out for my own home. And as someone else said, copper molds!! This put a big smile on my face. I love the kitchen and all the little adorable details.
How charming, from the baskets piled high in the living room to the Hubby's honesty about his former bachelor pad. Its a perfect SMALL world. Nicely done Otilia....
That first photo is great!
Keep up the great design work but have your reformed-bachelor husband buy you a bigger canvas to work with. Imagine the artistic possibilities....
Nice use of space and color.
i love everything about this decor, this is sooo my style, how creative and unique!!!
beautiful home, great job!
I love the chair in the first photo! Where is it from?

Obese women earn less than their slimmer sisters, while obese men earn about the same as men of normal weight.
It's no secret that it costs more to be fat -- higher health care costs, higher prices for plus-size clothing, the extra cost of double airline seats and larger caskets.
The news is that the extra annual cost of being obese is higher for women ($4,879) than for men ($2,646), according to a new study by George Washington University (.pdf file). For those who are merely overweight, the extra cost is $524 for women and $432 for their male counterparts, the new study says. ("Overweight" is defined as a body mass index between 25 and 30. "Obese" is 30 and above.)
The study considered factors like health care costs and wages, but didn't include higher prices for consumer goods -- the extra airplane seat and the rest.
That's a significant finding, considering that two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese. The New York Times explains:
You'll have a bigger yard, but is that worth the tradeoffs of more noise, more grass, and more trash and other 'stuff' to pick up?
This guest post comes from Len Penzo at Len Penzo dot Com.
For the six people left in America who are still looking to buy a home, I thought I'd pass on a little advice and save you a serious case of buyer's remorse.
Don't be fooled by real estate agents who try to tell you that corner lots are highly desirable. They're not.
In fact, besides often being more expensive to buy, here are 21 additional reasons why corner lots just aren't worth it:
- Noise, noise, noise. Double street and sidewalk frontage means double the noise from pedestrian and car traffic. Pull up a chair and crack open a cold one; I'm just gettin' started.
Renting a car might be getting pricier soon, but you can still save money if you know where to look and what to say.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
Along with airfare and hotel, renting a car is one of the Big Three expenses when you travel. But while everyone talks about how to find cheap fares and cheap rooms, no one talks with the same fervor about how to find the best wheels deals.
And there's never been a better time to seek out car rental tips, because the landscape may soon get more challenging as Hertz and Avis fight to take over Dollar Thrifty.
Check company launches campaign to advocate the right to write checks. But can even YouTube sell 'checks appeal'?
What a retro idea: A new publicity campaign wants to defend our right to use paper checks.
Does anyone still use checks? Haven't they gone the way of green stamps?
Deluxe Corp., which sells paper checks, is organizing the campaign, complete with videos, a Facebook page and other modern social networking tools. The company is arguing that customers should have the right to pay by check if they want to.
Never heard of Squinkies and Zoobles? You'd better start looking for them now. Plus: Grab a Sing-a-ma-jig.
Wondering what the hot toys will be this holiday season?
Think cute and electronic, with maybe a hint of vampire, and you'll be on the right track. No, there is not a plush electronic vampire doll, but we don't rule it out for the future.
The editors of TimetoPlayMag.com released their list of the Holiday 2010 Most Wanted Toys at the magazine's Holiday Showcase this week in New York.
Fixing the toilet is easy. You can install a thermostat by yourself. And some of the best things in life don't cost anything at all.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Today, let's do something a little different. I'm going to list 48 things I've learned about myself and the world around me that I discovered thanks to frugality.
- I really like sun tea.
- The patience and effort involved in teaching yourself something new is incredibly rewarding when you begin to succeed at it (like my piano playing).
- When you're sitting around a table with friends, it really doesn't matter where you are.
- Young children are usually more interested in the free packaging or other freebies than any item you might buy them.
The core problem is not that those charged with performing modifications are reluctant to do it.
This guest post comes from Frank Curmudgeon at Bad Money Advice.
Last year I wrung several good posts from the Obama administration's doomed-from-go scheme to get banks to modify mortgages. It was good material for me. I got to mock both those few who were clueless enough to think it might work and the great many people who were too polite or too loyal to the White House to admit they understood that the program's outlook was grim.
After a while, I got bored of beating that particular dead horse. So many other things to mock.
But I realized recently I never really addressed the basic conceptual flaw in the Home Affordable Modification Program.
The days of finding a 2-year-old car for thousands less than new are gone -- at least for now.
This Deal of the Daycomes fromKelli B. Grantat partner site SmartMoney.
After the engine blew on his 2004 Saturn, Tom Wright figured his next car would, obviously, be used. Given that new cars lose value faster than a 35-year-old utility infielder, why not buy a year-old Toyota RAV4 and save $5,000 right off the bat?
Then he started pricing cars around his hometown of Asheville, N.C. After cash back and a promotional financing offer, the 2010 model was only $1,000 more than the used cars he saw on the market. Sold! "Why buy someone else's problem," he says.
Many car buyers are encountering surprises, both good and bad, as market conditions have turned tried-and-true used-car-buying advice on its head. The tight economy has driven more consumers to used-car lots in search of savings; that increased demand has pushed prices up. The days of finding a 2-year-old car for thousands less than new are gone -- at least for now.

Retro computing on a Stellaris Launchpad
Texas Instruments recently introduced a new member of the Launchpad development board family based on the Stellaris LM4F120H5QR Microcontroller. This 2" x 2.6" board is attractively priced at $12.99 from the TI eStore.
With a 32 bit ARM M4F 80 Mhz processor, 256 KB of flash, and 32 KB of SRAM this board is significantly more powerful than the earlier MSP430 based Launchpad.
After installing TI's Code Composer Studio development environment and building the standard "blinky" test app I felt the need to go a bit beyond flashing an LED. Inspired by the current popularity of "retro" computing, I decided to see if code from the earliest days of microcomputers might find a comfortable home on the Stellaris Launchpad: Tiny BASIC.

Local Company Expands to Riverport- Move comes after national search
Wednesday June 8, 2005
ISCO Industries has signed a contract to acquire six acres at Riverport Industrial Park, which was approved by Riverport Board action yesterday.
ISCO Industries local manufacturing plant is currently situated on two acres at 962 East Chestnut Street, and has been looking for over one year for new space to expand its operations. The company sells HDPE (high-density polyethylene) pipe, and manufactures plastic fittings used for municipal and industrial applications worldwide.
"With this new plant, we will be able to increase our production to better supply our distribution sites across the country and improve our service to our customers in the local region," said ISCO President Jimmy Kirchdorfer, Jr.
ISCO will invest $1.3 million for a 23,000 square foot facility at Riverport, with construction beginning in the fall. They expect to create up to 15 new jobs. They also will add a $300,000 expansion at their current headquarters on Baxter Avenue for their corporate offices. Both are contingent on receiving favorable approval from the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority.
The company's decision to stay in Louisville "says that we're doing things right," said Mayor Jerry Abramson. "ISCO wanted to continue doing business here, and our facilities at Riverport were able to provide them what they needed for expansion."
ISCO has 18 manufacturing/distribution sites throughout the country. Some of their clients include Waste Management, Phelps Dodge, Jacksonville Electric Authority, Louisville Water Company, DuPont, Reynolds Inc., Bechtel and Fluor.

Last winter, Boston police noticed a rise in shootings around Humboldt Avenue in Roxbury, a section of the city historically plagued by gang violence. A handful of officers was assigned to do undercover drug buys a couple of times a week, hoping to gather enough intelligence to take some violent offenders off the street.
Then in January, Gabriel Clarke, a 13-year-old seventh-grader, was shot in the stomach on his way to church choir practice.

Product Recall: We are voluntarily recalling fewer than 8,000 cases of regular Kraft American Singles Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Productlimited to 4 SKUs on two "Best When Used By" dates of February 20, 2015 and February 21, 2015. Click Here.
Hunter is a big lover of Grilled Cheese. It's pretty much what he wants all of the time, so I'm trying to break him out of that rut and get him to try new things. Since I knew that he loves cream cheese I figured I could get him to try a chicken recipe that uses cream cheese! I went on the Kraft Recipes website to find something like that for me to make and I found the perfect thing in the Chicken-Parmesan Bundles. I tweaked the recipe a little bit because of some problems we found in the grocery store (who knew they would be out of Chicken Breasts?).
I thought it would have been a bit tedious to make, but actually it was pretty darn simple and when I finally got to eat them I was impressed by how delicious they were! This recipe is definitely going into my make again recipe rotation. Also Hunter really enjoyed it as did the rest of the family.

Publication: The Day
I'm outraged at the mainstream media in failing to keep Americans informed not only on both sides of the political street but, most important, on Benghazi.
Our government was established "by the people, for the people" and we had the right to know the facts regardless of whether or not an election was in progress.
A government "for the people" does what it can to protect its people from things that might harm them, and what's beneficial for its people rather than what's beneficial to those in power.
Our government ignored Ambassador Stevens' pleas for increased security. which resulted in the death of four Americans.
They lied about the facts to avoid upsetting their balance of power during the election, and the media served as their puppets in transmitting their lies to us instead of investigating and reporting the truth.
Now Americans aren't only uninformed but misinformed. With the election now over and the investigation into Benghazi beginning, I hope the media will report honestly, without bias and do their part in seeing that justice is served on behalf our four fellow Americans who were murdered in Libya.
Have Paula Broadwell and company damaged U.S. national security efforts?

"The invitations arrived looking just how they are shown on line. An adorable design on quality card stock. Very please with product!"
"I love the way the pearl white shimmer paper made the glittler-like print look like it sparkled, as well as the white onsies. The hearts on the back were a GIANT plus. They really make the finished product look fantastic! I couldn't be more pleased with my first purchase and will definitely be coming here for future needs."
"This invitation is made with quality paper and the colors are just as seen online. I'm very pleased with them! The only negative is I was shorted 1 invitation. Thankfully, I ordered a couple extra."
"I ordered these cards for my baby shower and the quality was amazing!! The wording was clear and perfect and they came right away."
"I was extremely impressed with how easy it was to customize this invite. Very satisfied with the service, delivery etc. and I would recommend Tiny Prints to all my friends and family."

We spent some time working on the Member Assembler public pickup page with 3 goals:
Welcome to the pickup page that we quietly released about two weeks ago! The member can now type in their zip code or address and get a list of the 10 closest locations to them as well as the distance from their address to the location (see red circles in image above).
Also, notice that the full address in never shown to the customer until they have joined this pickup (see blue circles in image above).
Customers may be given an option to select a 'second choice' pickup location when registering with your CSA. You can this feature on or off under Member Assembler / configure / display settings.
I know it's the time of year where people try to impress one another with their culinary expertise for pot-lucks, parties, and food blogs. I'm not above such self-aggrandizing (I roasted and served an acorn squash stew inside a pumpkin last week) but in choosing a staff recipe, I decided upon a different take: the slacker chef approach.
One winter, I found myself hungry and in no mood to go outside the house (or shower, likely). All I could scrounge around was the remains of a large bag of carrots of which I had probably only needed a couple for a previous recipe and an onion. As an Italian, I always have pasta in the house, but I had no sauce or tomatoes. I did have a can of cheap condensed tomato soup, however. So I conceived of the idea of roasting the carrots and onions and then blending them with the soup. How bad could it be? Turned out it was crazy delicious and my friends now request it all the time.
10 Large Carrots
1 Onion, preferably Vidalia
1 10.75 oz. can of Condensed Tomato Soup
olive oil
garlic salt
dried oregano
dried basil.
Chop the carrots and onion, but not too small. No reason to over-extend yourself.
Turn the oven to bake at 350 degrees. Toss the vegetables with enough olive oil to coat and some garlic salt. Arrange the vegetables flattish on a baking pan. Roast in oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15. Put roasted vegetables in a bowl and add the can of soup (the more generic the brand the better) along with the basil and oregano. You may want to add a half a can of water. Make sure not to add too much. Blend the mixture COARSELY, until it is the consistency of mashed potatoes. A hand blender works best. I would use a hand masher before a regular blender. Pureeing will make it too liquidy! Don't do it.
This goes great tossed with pasta drained over frozen peas, or as a dip with pita or fried ravioli, or as a spread for sandwiches, or just right out of the bowl! Served hot or cold, it's orangenious!
As an added bonus, and if you're into the surreal, I cooked this recipe on television once when I worked for the local PBS station and it's pretty mind-blowing, if I do say so myself:
Last month, I posted an entry about some superb sample member agreements that an agricultural law professor from the University of Illinois put together.
This group is now holding some webinars covering these issues. I joined the one that was held last night and found it to be very insightful. They covered member agreements, volunteer agreements, how to handle intern payment, and many other pertinent legal issues. Luckily, the organizers decided to run another webinar on Decemeber 18th due to the high demand for the first sesson (over 200 farmers registered).
Register for the next CSA Legal issues webinar here.
As Brian admitted during the webinar, this is not an enjoyable part of the CSA enterprise for most farmers, but an important aspect to get right during the winter when you have time to think about it!
We are excited to announce the launch of our newest checkout option for Member Assembler: Dwolla. This is exciting because Dwolla works with ACH transactions between the member's bank and the farmer's bank and bypasses the whole credit card industry. Due to this, it only costs $0.25 per transaction with no percentage. This is essentially free as compared to credit card transactions which normally costs between 2-3% of the transaction plus per transaction fees.
Dwolla has been around for several years, but they have just launched a new featured called guest checkout that allows someone who does not have a Dwolla account to make a purchase on a merchant's site. Members who pay with Dwolla will need to enter their bank account number and routing number to make a payment, but if you explain how this saves your farm on fees, members will be happy to keep more money in their farmer's hands!
Read more on this new feature from Dwolla. We need a 3-5 early adopters to work with us to set up Dwolla on their Member Assembler sites, so please email us and we'll be in touch with next steps. After we have worked through the process of creating a new Dwolla account and connecting it with Member Assembler, we will create some comprehensive help documents with screenshots and open Dwolla up to everyone.
So, please let us know if you want to be the first to use this exciting new payment option!
We're proud to be sponsors of the Midwest CSA conference in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, January 10th & 11th. This is the only conference that I know of to focus specifically on CSA and I'm excited to be a part of it!
If you are going to there, be sure to stop by our table and say hi!
There is a great line-up of topics:
Hope to see some of you there!
I thought it would be fun for us to do a series on the blog of 'signature recipes' of the staff members here at Small Farm Central. Starting with me!
Refried beans are a staple in my house for a quick burrito meal or to make nachos. I almost always have these around. Since I find myself cooking beans so often, I splurged on a spanish olla (clay bean cooking pot) this summer. This brings even more pleasure to this process.
You can buy wonderful heirloom beans from Rancho Gordo, but for these every day refried beans I use basic pinto beans from the grocery store.
This a vegetarian recipe for refried beans, but I'm sure they would be wonderful refried with lard, too!
Simon's Signature Refried Beans
Eat beans on tortillas, in nachos, or in any mexican dish that uses refried beans!
It is my habit to make 2lbs of dry beans and freeze 1 or 2 quarts of the cooked beans before refrying. Then I can pull the frozen beans out in a week or two for another round of delicious beans!
Wishes of a happy Thanksgiving weekend filled with friends and family from Small Farm Central. You've earned it this year!
It's that time of year again...time to start thinking about holiday gifts and wish lists. We keep coming across lovely goods featured on our many Small Farm Central websites, so we thought we'd do a quick post about a few products. Farm products are a great solution for the hard-to-buy-for relative or friend.
1. Beeswax candles from Full Moon Honey. 2. Lemony Sage Mustard from Twin Oaks Farm. 3. Salami Gift Box from Foothill Farms. 4. Honey Oatmeal soap from Cherry Valley Organics. 5. Peach, Tarragon, Tangerine Sage Jam from Heritage Line Herbs. 6. Maple Syrup from Spring Harvest Maple. 7. Door County Whitefish Caviar from Ruleau Brothers, Inc.
This fall and early winter, we are hosting a series of online webinars on various aspects of the Member Assembler service to make you a member management expert! This is specifically for farmers already using Member Assembler who want to learn tips and tricks, but farms interested in the service who are not current subscribers, can also sit in on the calls. The goal of these sessions is to make you more confident and successful with Member Assembler!
This will be a "screenshare" type of meeting where you will log in and be able to hear me (Simon) talking and see my screen as I talk through the topic at hand. I will try to record these and have them available at a later time. Read about the sessions and register for the ones that interest you!
Public Sign-up Process Tweaks: We'll look in depth at the public Member Assembler side (where your customers sign up for your CSA) and detail what parts of the site can be edited. This session will also include information on customizing the emails that go out to members as they sign up and using membership updates to allow members to add on shares or change contact information.
Date: Tuesday, November 6th 2012, 1pm EST
Payment Processing Options: from Credit Cards to Dwolla: Learn about options for payment processing including normal mailed checks, authorize.net credit cards, eCheck, Paypal and Dwolla. Learn about the costs and trade-offs of different approaches.
Date: Tuesday, November 20th 2012, 1pm EST
Accounting Tools: Learn about balance tracking, adjusting invoices, payment requests, and the financial reports.
Date: Tuesday, December 4th 2012, 1pm EST
Managing the CSA Process Throughout the Season: Review pickup lists, automated reminder emails, mailing list emails, and other reports that you will use throughout the season on a week-to-week basis.
Date: Tuesday, January 15th, 1pm EST
Extras and Ecommerce: Sell weekly extra items each week with the ecommerce tools. We'll cover creating a web store on your Member Assembler site, allowing members access to the store, and reporting to deliver those items to your customers.
Date: Tuesday, January 29th, 1pm EST
I came across these sample member agreements for CSAs put together by University of Illinois professor of agricultural law A. Bryan Endres and his wife. Contracts and paperwork probably are not at the top of your list, but as Endres notes, your CSA can't build community and grow food if you get put out of business due to legal problems.
"Some CSAs are highly organized, very professional," Endres said. "In my own CSA, the member agreement we signed had elements of legality, but it was very unclear. Even simple things like how much money we needed to send in and when to send it weren't clear in the membership agreement. It got me thinking that the membership agreement is a key part of the CSA, and an unclear membership agreement can create a barrier to people joining CSAs. It's actually a contract between the farmer and the CSA member who wants to get the vegetables every week, so a well-written and clear contract is much better for everyone."
These sample contracts can be downloaded at Endres' website along with a variety of other documents like worker share agreement and volunteer liability form.
The sample CSA contract is very detailed covering growing practices, expected products, risk of crop failure, crop surplus, how to pick up shares and more.
Andres is asking for feedback on these forms in a survey. Visit his website to download the forms.

Silver Reef announces expansion plans
Published on Wed, Feb 12, 2014
Read More
Silver Reef Hotel Casino Spa officials have announced that their latest expansion plans for the gaming and entertainment destination will include additional lodging and meeting space.
Phase VII of Silver Reef's expansion is slated to include 98 deluxe guest rooms and two luxury suites – bringing the total number of rooms at the complex to 205. The current Silver Reef Hotel maintains a high occupancy rate, making additional hotel rooms a necessity for the continued growth and success of the property, according to officials.
The expansion will also add a 3,000 square foot meeting room that is divisible into three meeting rooms. This expansion will increase the total function space to more than 28,000 square feet, in addition to an expanded hotel lobby with a new bar.
Silver Reef will host a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday, February 18, and the project is expected to be completed 16 months later. The expansion marks the sixth time the casino has expanded since the property's grand opening in 2002.
"It's great to see that this new construction will provide more jobs which will help grow the economy for the greater region," said Lummi Nation chairman Tim Ballew II.
"The best just keeps getting better here at Silver Reef Hotel Casino Spa," said Harlan Oppenheim, chief executive officer of Silver Reef. "We know our guests are looking for a memorable experience every time they visit, and the latest expansion phase is sure to deliver."
"We're very proud to be able to expand once again," said Steven Oliver, chairman of the Lummi Commercial Company, the business arm of the Lummi Nation. "Our guests made Silver Reef number one and we are excited to give them an even bigger and better guest experience."
The most recent phase of construction included an event center, theater, the Cantina restaurant and buffet, updates to the Red River Cafe as well as an expansion of the award-winning Steak House at Silver Reef. The changes also included 225 new slot machines, new carpet throughout the casino and hotel lobby, ergonomic slot and table game seating and more than 300 new parking spaces.

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
Between 1960 and 2012 the share of Canadians in the U.S. foreign-born population declined from 10 to 2 percent, while the actual number of Canadian immigrants has remained remarkably steady. Using the most up-to-date statistics, this profile examines the Canadian immigrant population by size, age, location, college education, and more.
Central American migrants have long hopped freight trains known as "La Bestia," or the beast, to get through Mexico en route to the United States. While Mexico has been accused of turning a blind eye to this traffic, U.S. outcry over the surge of unaccompanied child migrants has drawn new attention to the use of the trains. This article highlights the journey aboard the trains, the dangers faced by migrants, and responses by the Mexican government and others.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the recent Supreme Court decision in Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting, the ongoing controversy surrounding states' participation in Secure Communities, the extension of TPS for Haitian nationals, and more.
Immigrants from Asia accounted for about 28 percent of the total U.S. foreign-born population in 2009. MPI's Jeanne Batalova examines the social and economic profiles of the foreign born from this region.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the termination of the NSEERS program, legal challenges to the new Utah laws, the continued controversy surrounding Secure Communities, and more.
The terms "Hispanic" and "Latino" were originally created for administrative purposes by the U.S. government, but have since come to define a population of 50.5 million people who trace their origins to 20 different countries. Rubén Rumbaut examines the origin and administrative use of the Hispanic-Latino category, and the effect it has had on the identities of people placed into it.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the 9th Circuit Court ruling on SB 1070, current trends in immigration legislation at the state level, President Obama's recent comments on executive action and immigration reform, and more.
This Migration Policy Institute webinar discusses labor enforcement laws during the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations and chronicles gaps in labor protection.
The United States has historically offered unparalleled economic opportunity to successive generations of immigrants and their children, poised to play an increasing role in the U.S. economy. But the lasting impact of job loss and slower growth over the next decade will translate into fewer opportunities for workers—and immigrants may prove the most vulnerable.
This report highlights gaps and anomalies in labor protection, while recognizing that U.S. law sets significant standards for minimum wage, overtime pay, child labor, safe and healthy workplaces, antidiscrimination, labor organizing, and collective bargaining.
European dominance in U.S. immigration flows has decreased significantly since World War II, a result of economic, demographic, and policy trends on both sides of the Atlantic. Today, migration from European Union Member States to the United States, while small, is characterized by a substantial numbers of European scientists, professionals, and businesspeople.
This Migration Policy Institute event was held to discuss the release of MPI'sbook, Migration and the Great Recession: The Transatlantic Experience, which reviews how the financial and economic crisis of the late 2000s marked a sudden and dramatic interruption in international migration trends.
Drawing on experiences from Asia, Europe, North America, and the Pacific region, this report presents eight strategies that represent best practices developed by immigrant-receiving countries to increase the economic contributions of immigration.
Since 1970, the immigrant populations from Mexico and Central America living in the United States have increased significantly: rising by a factor of 20 even as the total U.S. immigrant population increased four-fold over the period. This demographic report examines the age, educational, and workforce characteristics of these immigrants.
Two competing models for selecting economic-stream immigrants are now prevalent in advanced industrialized economies: points-based and employer-led selection. Increasingly, however, hybrid selection systems are being created, implementing best practices from each selection process.

There comes a point in every single person's dating career when you worry about what your friends think about your date. Of course, we can claim to be adults who don't answer to anyone. We like, date, and love who we want and opinions of others should not matter. The thing is, though, opinions of some of our friends do matter.
I don't know if I would dump a guy if he didn't win my friends over. I would probably take a second look at what they see that I don't. Let's be honest, we are all susceptible to having clouded judgment from love, sex, or lust.
When you meet someone new, do you ever ask yourself "What will my friends think?"
Have you ever had to manage a dating relationship with someone who all your friends disliked?
If your reasonable and trustworthy friends weigh in on your dates, do you pay attention to their observations?
Happy Friday!

When you meet someone new, do you ever ask yourself "What will my friends think?" No.
Have you ever had to manage a dating relationship with someone who all your friends disliked? Yes
A good friend is someone who is there to listen, encourage, and be there for you. They do not run your life but encourage you to do and be your best, so when a bad apple comes along the friends can say what they want, but its your road to take or not (not theirs).

GOOD Friday Morning MIA!!!
When you meet someone new, do you ever ask yourself "What will my friends think?" No
Have you ever had to manage a dating relationship with someone who all your friends disliked? No
If your reasonable and trustworthy friends weigh in on your dates, do you pay attention to their observations? Yes, I would listen to their observations to see whether or not they are valid.
Some people are just outright critical ALL of the time, so you have to know your friends and their dispositions before you take everything they say to heart. A good circle of friends will often times voice their opinions if they notice that something is just not quite right.Then you have those that will plainly see something wrong and not say a mumbling word. Once again, know your friends and don't walk around with your eyes wide shut.

There comes a point in every single person's dating career when you worry about what your friends think about your date.
Diva, gotta be honest here, in my youth I've been silly enough to wonder if he was "cute" enough to one or two close gfs…lol Chaulk it up to youth.
During the time I was hanging out with the 10 year older dude (cause my gf was trying give me reasons why I should), him being too short, older and too dang grouchy, I took her by his place of employment (prior to him starting his own business) for her to scope him out…lololol I know, bad bad Celisea. He never suspected a thing. Just thought I was comng through.
Outside of that pettiness and waaaay back when, no I've not REAAAALLY cared, honestly. I make my own decision as it's my life, and I will be the one to deal with whatever outcome…good bad or indifferent. I've been pretty levelheaded (mostly) during my dating years so, no I don't worry about what other folks think. Shoot, I don't worry about what other folks think with none "boo" related issues. You'd make yourself gray living like that. Same thing too, in how I walk the walk. Ain't but one God, one heaven one hell. No way I'm sweating anything from any person that won't have bearings one way or the other.
I'm working from home today, not feeling my "bestest."

Now, when I SHOULD have listened??? Was when folks tried to tell me NOT to spend or waste one second of my time with the kid's dad. That's the only time I can recall, woulda shoulda coulda. But it wasn't him so much, that I was dang smitten. I had an itch and I was ready to get out there on my own. He was just the vehicle…lolol Grant it, that was a long bumpy ride, but I transported maself off my mamas' nips to standing on my own.
Okay, I can't be chatty cathy this morning…I have a meeting in 53 minutes…ugh

TGIF everybody.
I have been guilty of caring about what my friends thought too, but I quickly learned not to do that.
Now if I was dating someone with a fault that I overlooked, I would want my friends opinion and would take it as a mature woman rather then getting mad.
I have a friend who does not like my husband without any reason. She is a semi-friend now. I don't have time for someone immature
April 26th, 2013

@Lee 6:44 comment. Nice one.
I once tried to tell my friend to stay from the guy she was dating, she didn't take it too well and snapped back. I never have or will advise her. She will have to get hurt on her own and learn. ( which she did and STILL hasn't learned..still with the looser)

Morning ladies…. There was once a time when I would tell my friends about someone I was dating and the first question was "What does she look like?" Now the first question is what does she do???? Now I know everyone is gonna say they never do this and that they don't care what heir friends think, but On some level, even if its just a little bit, it matters……..

Hi Court! I see you're grooving this morning!
I'm LOL because I ask the "What does he/she do" question.
From my experiences, it really doesn't matter what the friends think, if that person wants to be with that other person then they are going to do just that. Once you past high school, I feel that people care less about other's opinions. However, I do know that is not the general rule of thumb. There are some folks who will run like the wind if their friends don't give the 2 thumbs up. . .

When I was wayyyy younger I wondered what my friends thoughts were about my date. That was many many moons ago, now I don't consider what my friends or family may think about who I choose to date. Actually I haven't brought a date around any of my friends since we all live in different parts of the world. I'll show pictures/video or share our activities but nope I haven't introduced a date to my friends face to face in a long time.
Happy Friday!

Morning All!
When you meet someone new, do you ever ask yourself "What will my friends think?" I admit I did once, but quickly dismissed it.
Have you ever had to manage a dating relationship with someone who all your friends disliked? No, however, most of my family and friends disliked my ex-husband. It made it a little difficult, but at that point in time my view was me and him against the world.
If your reasonable and trustworthy friends weigh in on your dates, do you pay attention to their observations? People are free to state their opinion on whatever, but they do not control my relationships. Of course you listen to your friends, but you make your own determinations because you are the one with all of the information.
Court- That is so sweet!

good morning. am I checking for the opinions of others? nope. do they matter? yes and no. there are some people whose opinions I do respect and I'd be open to hearing them. others are so throwed off that their opinions matter very little. can't say that their opinions would sway any decision I made. do I want friends/family to like a significant other? it would help but it wouldn't be the end of the world if they didn't. might make for uncomfortable family gatherings but it is what it is.

I think first of all, one has to establish what the definition of 'friend' is. My grandfather told me on many occasions that;" If a man lives, then dies, after having known only one true friend, he dies a lucky man indeed." In my life, I've had/have many aquaintances, but only one, maybe two, true friends. Men who would do anything in the world for you, short of illegalities, or immoral, under handed, illicit acts. These are the people I would listen to. And actually solicit their input. Sense, I know they are level headed and have nothing but my best interest in mind.The aquaintances, masquerading as friends, can take their opinion on who I'm dating, and burn, for all I care. Their input is niether coveted nor valued when it comes to me and my relationships.
April 26th, 2013

Reio – I agree with your post. Most people are not your friends perse but rather aquaintances and although they can be just as special as a friend, they are not true friends.
April 26th, 2013
9:42 am
Hello all
When you meet someone new, do you ever ask yourself "What will my friends think?" HELL NO!!
If your reasonable and trustworthy friends weigh in on your dates, do you pay attention to their observations No, I just tell them that they've dated/married who they wanted to and I will do the same
April 26th, 2013
9:46 am
one things for sure, if you tell your "girlfriend" anything negative about your date/relationship/man, she will harp on it and never let you live it down. I learned that the hard way.
April 26th, 2013
9:46 am
reio – I may be taking my share of shorts in life but I've apparently got an abundance of friends. of course, considering I haven't made a "new" friend in more than 10 years I might want to hush up. bless me if my friends ever start falling off. I'll probably never make a new friend again. lol.

disco – You're truly lucky. More power to ya!
April 26th, 2013
9:50 am
-Button Yep, learned that lesson too! You're so spot on with that! They'll always remember the negative stuff and when you share something good, they'll be sure to throw that OLD negative stuff back up in your face.
April 26th, 2013
9:52 am
reio – I've always said that my measure of friend v. acquaintance was if I would raise her kids if something happened and they had no place else to go. I'm not big on kids so for me that's a biggie. of course, I wasn't banking on said friends having late life babies. lol. one friend has a 2 year old. messing up the rotation.
button/moni – that depends on the friend and her nature. I'm on the abrasive side and like to put stuff on front street but I don't throw stuff up all willy nilly. if a situation calls for some reminding then so be it but I don't just always be talking about "remember when, remember when, remember when". not my style.

10:02 am
I can recall an incident from my dating years when an aquaintance told me, after seeing and chatting with my date at a social gathering(someone's birthday party, I think), that "Ya'll look good together, but everybody's gonna want some of that. Better keep her hid." Caught me off guard. Didn't know how to respond. I think I just smiled a little as I walked away. Neither of my true friends would ever say anything like that. Funny, this guy, I've known much longer than my friends. Now that I think about it, no wonder I've never considered him a friend. Nice guy. We get along well. We go back to second grade. But he's not a friend. Never was.
April 26th, 2013
10:14 am
reio – actually I don't think that comment is so bad. in his mind he could have just been giving you a compliment. granted, coming out of the mouths of some it could be a veiled threat as well. lol. reminds me of a time one of my cousins was going on about how she was going to have to beat the boys off her teenaged daughter with a bat. this cousin rides the bench for team homely and her daughter looks just like her. oh how we laughed at that one. beating the boys back is the last thing she'll have to worry about.
April 26th, 2013
10:15 am
-Disco I feel you on that. I have a friend now who is dealing with some MAJOR relationship drama (he called her a stupid _itch TWICE & held her down (to argue) against her will) but she has yet to tell me about this particular incident, our other friend told me. See, that would be an automatic dealbreaker for me & I think she already knows that which is why she hasn't told me about it. I'm going to call her this weekend & see if she brings it up. My fear is that the next time he'll do worse, but she has to wake up & smell the coffee! Me telling her to leave him alone will go in 1 ear and out the other until she's had enough of his mess. Whew, needed to vent.

Morning Gang!
Disco – Hey! Your 9;26 about sums it up for me.
I had one friend to not like a guy I was dating. There was nothing concrete, he just rubbed her the wrong way, she said. She really didn't try to break us up or anything. My close, close friends and I kind of have the same taste in men. Not necessarily the same in looks, but in temperment, station in life, etc. So this has never really been much of an issue. I agree with Moni about knowing which friends to share certain info with too. There are some that don't have decent relationships themselves, but they can critique everyone elses. Miss me with that.
April 26th, 2013

Hi Kimmie!
April 26th, 2013
10:35 am
There are definite distinctions between "friend, acquaintence and folks you know." For my real friends, we aren't all up in each other's grills 24/7, but we are tried and true and true blue. Folks you can call on, folks that's gonna give you the real, folks that ain't going in with you on a dumb decision but will stand in the door way and say "don't do it."
I can break bread with acquaintences, but those are the folks that you tell what you want them to know and usually it's stuff that ain't deep or won't bring the world to an end if they blab.
Folks you know, are just that. Folks that you know don't care or give a happy if you live or die, eat or not, etc etc etc. They are just folks you know. Folks you can live with or without
April 26th, 2013
10:36 am
kimmie – that's me. the perpetually single. lol. does it keep me from putting my two cents in? heck naw. some of these chicks in my circle might want to try single. then they wouldn't have homeless, unemployed men rolling through packing up hefty bags and their kids wouldn't have multiple uncle syndrome.
April 26th, 2013
10:37 am
this cousin rides the bench for team homely and her daughter looks just like her.
Disco – I am hollering!!! You sure have a way with words!!!
April 26th, 2013

I can't recall in this moment anyone in an abusive relationship. My sister did that mess for years with some bum that all but cracked her skull. But she got out of that mess, thankfully.
April 26th, 2013
10:40 am

-Kimmie BINGO with your 10:40, those are the ones who ALWAYS have SOMETHING to say!!!
April 26th, 2013
10:42 am
kimmie – again, that statement was the truth. it was at a viewing. a group of us were catching up and she pointed out her daughter that some of us had never met or hadn't seen for years. girl we held it in and humored her when she said it (we were in a church after all). after that it was on. lol. this cousin is the daughter of the great-aunt who said I was going to be an old maid. the great-aunt that my grandmother lit into for talking about me. lol.
April 26th, 2013

kimmie / moni – no refunds. we don't always cut up. lol.
C – one chick told me how her dude punched her in the side of the face while she was driving. I was like and you continued to drive home and gave dude some that same night? stupid. I would have driven to the nearest police station or ran his side of the car into a daggone telephone pole. I would have sat in the car until he got out first and ran his behind over. the end of the story was going to be drastically different.

disco – one chick told me how her dude punched her in the side of the face while she was driving
Naw, that wouldn't have ended with no intimacy. Yeah, that's about what I would have done too. If I can't whip you physically, I can drive you to someone that can….the po po LOLOLOL, I know me, that's exactly what I would have done, if I didn't have a bat to knock his grill out. That's dirty…hitting a chick while she's driving.
April 26th, 2013
11:13 am
C – her parents visit her twice a year. once when it was time for her parents to visit he told her that he didn't want them staying at her house. lol. shole did. he didn't even live there. he was just pulling a control move. she told her parents they would have to get a room and her parents cancelled their visit. guess they said that buster didn't tell them what to do.
April 26th, 2013
11:16 am
Disco/Celisea See my pressure is going up just reading this. I can honestly say that I've never been in an abusive relationship. I grew up seeing my mama go from one to another (starting with my dad) and I knew at an early age that it was wrong & that was not what I wanted to be a part of. The Lord knows what you can handle, because I would have on a jumpsuit with numbers across the back. . . unless MsAtl could get me off on self-defense.

When you meet someone new, do you ever ask yourself "What will my friends think?" – NOPE.
As we get to know each other more and more and he mingles with me an my friends, all that matters to me is that they get along. They don't have to like him. They could wonder all they want what my attraction to him might be. At the end of the day, I will be sleeping with him and it will be only the two of us in the room, not my friends.
Ok, a bit much, but you know what I mean.
Good morning. Worked on 4 documents that tried, I said tried to kick my behind. I won that fight!

There are plenty of ways to close to wildlife. You can take a hike through the wilderness, you can visit a zoo. But for one zoo north of the valley, some might argue that they're getting extremely close to wildlife -- because they swim with full grown tigers.
We went up to the Out of Africa Wildlife Park near Camp Verde. For good reason, they keep the general public away from the tigers, but we wanted to get as close as we could.
We mounted a small camera onto one of the men who plays with the tigers -- and as you can see, it gave us a unique look at what it is like to have a tiger at your back.
With an animal like this... there's no room for error.
The man in the water is Jeff Harwell, one member of a team that works and plays with these tigers every day.
"Always had a calling. Always loved the cats. I didn't think that working hands on with the cats was a realistic dream. But here I am," says Harwell, Out of Africa Wildlife Park.
Here, "hands on" is bit of an understatement. This show is always a crowd pleaser.
"It was awesome. I like how she leaped up in the air," says audience member Jack Martinez.
"It is pretty amazing. Even just having a dog. Playing with a dog you get a little nip here and there and to think of a couple hundred pound animal like that it is kind of impressive," says Matt Martinez.
Getting to this point where the tiger knows you and likes you -- takes time.
"I call them and they come running. They know I don't have food, they run all the way up to me and they just kind of rub against me, you can see it in their facial expressions."
When we were at Tiger Splash this week, Chalet, a 6-year-old, 370 pound, Bengal-Siberian tiger, wasn't afraid to get wet.
"The tiger got really close to him at some points. It was really interesting to see," says audience member Ayla Campisa.
Jeff has been working these tigers for about six years. The animals know him. But keep in mind these are wild animals. Things don't always go according to plan. And he's got the scars to prove it.
"I don't like to show them off because each one of these is from a time that I have messed up. We are not really proud of our scars."
A mess up usually means someone got in the tiger's way. The whole idea behind this is to keep the tiger chasing the toy, not the person.
We caught with Harwell right after the show. He admits he's not always comfortable out there.
"It's always fun despite the fear, and sometimes scary things are just fun, whether it be a roller coaster or it's just a big tiger."
"Mammals like Chalet have a play instinct, they are just hard wired to play, they are just having fun. In real life we let them practice every instinct except the kill one."
The Out of Africa Wildlife Park isn't your typical zoo.
You can closer to the animals than you might expect, even feed a giraffe.
You can feed the tigers too, but that's done through a fence and at a safe distance. Only the pros are allowed to get this close.
By the way, tigers are never forced to participate in the show. They have mood swings too, and if they don't want to play, the handlers can tell.

Serbia offers a wide range of holidays, from its beaches on the Adriatic Sea to the mountain pastures and woodlands in the north and east. The capital, Belgrade, offers a taste of culture with its many museums and wonderful architecture and the country also has some beautiful unspoilt scenery. The official language is Serbo-Croatian and visitors will see the Cyrillic script around the country. The currency is the New Dinar.
Exploring the local area is part of any self-catering holiday in Serbia. The cities are easy to explore on foot or join a guided walking tour. Dining out is a pleasure in Belgrade's old bohemian quarter. You can also enjoy a romantic meal as you cruise down the Danube on a floating restaurant. Belgrade has some excellent museums and galleries to visit including the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Ethnographical Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Nikola Tesla Museum. Take a trip along Serbia's wine route where wine has been made for over 2000 years. The Palic Wine Route follows the "Wines from the Sands" but there are other wine routes in Vrsac, Oplenac and Zupa. Hiking in Serbia's hill country and bird watching are additional things to enjoy from your Serbia holiday rental. The Fruska Gora hills has miles of woodland trails. A great way to see the countryside is on the Sargan Eight Railway at Mokra Gora. The 2 mile (3.5km) journey up the mountain takes an hour!
Those staying in a holiday rental in Serbia's capital, Belgrade, will want to explore the Old Town. Visit Kalemegdan Park and the Belgrade Fortress overlooking the Danube and Sava rivers. The main landmarks are the Orthodox Cathedral (Saborna Crkva) and the Turkish-style residence of Princess Ljubica's Konak. Beyond Belgrade, Nis is one of the best places to visit with its Turkish Fortress, Skull Tower and ruins of the Roman town of Mediana. Novi Sad, Serbia's second city, has many cultural attractions and churches and the Monastery of Zica is where the kings of Serbia once were crowned. Serbia has several national parks, including the 158,000 acre Djerdap National Park. Its main attractions are the gorges of the Djerdap river valley.
Serbia has a moderate continental climate inland, and a Mediterranean climate along its coastline. Generally the coast is drier than the inland areas and much warmer. Expect temperatures to reach 26°C (79°F) in July on the coast, but just 19°C (66°F) further inland. Temperatures at just above freezing on the coast in January, and well below freezing with snowfall on the mountains.
The main airport in Belgrade is the Nikola Tesla (BEG) Airport which is 18km (11 miles) west of the city. Those staying in a Serbia holiday rental in the southeast of the country may find the Constantine the Great (INI) Airport at Nis more convenient, particularly when visiting Serbia's ski resorts.

Researchers in the Chemistry Division at Argonne National Laboratory have recently studied the unusual photochemistry of molecular J-aggregates on the surface of noble metal nanoparticles. Noble metal nanoparticles are known for free electron waves, or plasmons, that produce extraordinarily intense and confined electromagnetic waves within a few nanometers of the particles' surfaces. By using molecular J-aggregates, known for their high absorption cross sections, a uniform monolayer of organic electron donors was placed on the surface of the nanoparticles. Ultrafast optical spectroscopy studies revealed a multi-electron, photoinduced reduction of the nanoparticles by the J-aggregates when the plasmon band was optically excited with a femtosecond pulse of light. Reversible charge storage of approximately 300 electrons by the 10-nm-diameter nanoparticles was shown. Scanning near-field optical microscopy studies on organized patterns of closely spaced metallic nanoparticles reveal collective plasmon character. Ultimately, the unusual photochemical properties of functionalized nanoparticles is expected to enable a modulation of collective plasmon properties for subdiffraction limited photon propagation in nanostructures.

PORT ORANGE -- A business owner is upset that a tree on her commercial property was split in half by a vegetation management company with no forewarning.
Carol Whitlock, who, with her husband, owns a small retail building at 4626 Clyde Morris Boulevard across the street from the Gulfstream Village, recently complained to the city that tree trimmers from Asplundh Tree Expert Co. came onto her property and cut in half a tree she owns.
"We maintain the property the way the city wants it to be," Ms. Whitlock said. "This company came on our property with this big, heavy equipment, drove onto our lawn, and they cut one of our big trees vertically. It's a 27-year-old tree. We planted it."
Ms. Whitlock said she believed the tree was far enough from the power lines and the tree trimmers could have trimmed along the power line instead of splitting the tree in half, which resulted in debris being dropped underneath the shrubbery.
"It's so, so unnecessary," she said, adding she wondered how it could happen when Port Orange has a "Tree City USA" designation from the Arbor Day Foundation.
When the tree was cut down, an Asplundh employee told Ms. Whitlock they were there to keep trees off the power lines. Neither Asplundh nor Florida Power & Light, whose power lines serve the city, contacted her ahead of time to inform her the tree would be cut down.
So Ms. Whitlock took her concerns to the city and met with a code enforcement officer last week. She said the code enforcement officer told her the issue would be brought to City Manager Ken Parker's attention. A representative from Asplundh was also supposed to be present at that meeting but did not attend.
Kerry Leuzinger, building official with the code enforcement department, said a code enforcement officer went out to the property as a courtesy, but added he believed no city code violation occurred because Asplundh has a right to trim trees in the way of power lines. FPL contracts with Asplundh for tree trimming services.
Asplundh is a vegetation management company based in Willow Grove, Pa. A regional representative for Asplundh who was reached by phone declined comment, saying he was unaware of the situation.
An FPL representative said FPL has different minimum setback requirements for different types of trees. Medium-sized trees must be at least 20 feet from power lines and large trees must be 30 feet away; palm trees have a setback of the maximum palm frond plus three feet, while shrubs and small trees less than 20 feet tall can be planted near power lines. The representative said line clearance is important to prevent power outages and flickers.
But Ms. Whitlock claimed the tree was destroyed met the 20-foot setback requirement for medium-sized trees.
Ms. Whitlock hopes city staff will do something to prevent tree management companies like Asplundh from going on to someone's property to cut trees without the owner's permission.
"It's not right," she said. "We should have some say over what happens over our own personal property."

But for the most part it was an abject failure and Ryan Young wound up porting the entire thing to the MySQL shards which had come to maturity in the meantime.
