Roast Pork For Cuban Sandwiches
Ingredients :
2 lbs. boneless center pork loin roast
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp. salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 cup sour orange juice
(If you can't get sour oranges in your area, try equal parts orange and grapefruit or 2 parts orange to 1 part lemon and 1 part lime)
1 cup minced onion
1/2 cup Spanish olive oil
Mash the garlic and salt together with a mortar and pestle. (A rolling pin on a cutting board works pretty good too.) Add dried oregano, onion and the sour orange to the mash and mix thoroughly. Heat oil in small sauce pan, add the mash to the oil and whisk.
Pierce pork roast as many times as you can with a sharp knife or fork. Pour garlic mixture (save a little for roasting) over pork, cover and let sit in refrigerator for two to three hours.
Using a suitable roasting pan or rack, sprinkle remaining marinade over pork and cook uncovered at 325°F. Roast until completely cooked (160°F), about 20 minutes per pound. Baste occasionally. Bring pan juices to a boil and simmer until the juice is reduced by half. Sprinkle some juice onto the pork when you put it in the sandwich.
Harissa (Morrocan Hot Sauce)
1 1/2 cups Hot dried red chiles** (loosely packed)
1/3 cup Olive oil
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Caraway seeds, ground
1 teaspoon Ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
** or Rocoto Red Pepper Paste(Peru Food)
** or Smoked Chipotoles w/Sauce **
** Sweetened w/Corn Syrup
In a small saucepan, cover the chilies with water. Boil over moderately high heat
until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Cover and let soak for 1 hour.
Drain the chiles, reserving the soaking liquid, and transfer them to a food processor.
Add the oil, garlic, caraway, coriander and cumin and season with salt.
Puree until smooth, adding enough of the reserved chile liquid to blend the
sauce. Transfer to a bowl.
The Harissa sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, if you cover the mixture
with a thin layer of Olive oil, and stored in a sealed container.
** Harissa can be Mixed with Mayonnaise as a condiment
*Harissa Sauce: Powdered Coriander-Caraway-Cumin
Seeds, Garlic Powder, Roasted Chipotle chilis in sauce
(processed to a paste) with Mayo, & sweetened with
Corn syrup.
Cuban Sandwich -
engineering marvel
The Cuban sandwich (called merely 'sandwich' in Cuba), also known as a Cubano or Media Noche ('midnight'), is a marvellous piece of ethnic culinary engineering. They are most commonly available in (wait for it ...) Cuba - or perhaps, just as often, in parts of Florida, USA. The sizzle is in the grilling.
The ingredients at their most basic are Cuban bread (called merely 'bread' in Cuba), pork, ham (yes, they do come from the same animal), pickles, cheese and one or more condiments. They are tasty and toasted, served in many Florida restaurants and bars, but with the best examples served either in Cuba or at Miami street-corner snack bars called loncherias.
You may follow as much of these ingredient variations as you find convenient, but pay particularly close attention to the preparation and cooking options. The sandwiches are sometimes sold cold, but the hot, grilled Cubano is the hands-down favourite. Many who take home the cold, ungrilled sandwich are just unprepared to grill them properly.
The fact that both meats originate from the pig suggests that, once slaughtered, families would rush to use up one entire animal before it could spoil. Leftovers from roasts and hams were probably combined in these ways to add variety to the meal offerings.
With any ethnic dish - which, of course, means any recipe - there are many possible variations on the theme they present. Recipes called 'authentic' are often authentic only to a locale or even, at times, a family. Rarely are they actually a nationally or ethnically agreed standard that cannot be violated. Still, a few basic rules can provide a set of standards for a dish that can then be adhered to strictly, or violated grotesquely, at the chef's discretion.
One last caveat - most of the ingredients of the Cubano were first brought to Cuba by the Spaniards in the 1500s. It took the Cubans 400 years to perfect their sandwich, and it is worthwhile to remember that many Cuban recipes changed abruptly with the American embargo of Cuba since the 1950s.
Here, then, are the basics for the delectable dish known as the Cuban sandwich. Understand that this recipe calls for special equipment, but substitutes can be improvised. Improvisational choices can be found at the end of the entry.
Cuban Bread
The Cuban bread is sometimes replaced with French or Italian loaves of bread. It is, like those other baked delights, long, slender, and hard-crusted. Some sandwich recipes call it a sourdough bread and some a water bread. Historical references suggest that the bread is made with a bit of lard, differentiating it from European versions.
The water bread toasts better, so don't settle for anything less. Also, eat it soon (the day it is baked), as the lard causes it to dry out quickly. Historically, when bread was not readily available, a crispy flat bread made from cassava or yuca flour (called casabe) was substituted.
Breads are often made 'crustier' by the addition of a pan of water or ice in the baking oven.
To make two loaves of an acceptable bread (without lard):
In a large bowl dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast in 8 fluid ounces of warm water or potato water 1(45°C or 110°F).
Add one tablespoon of white sugar and one of salt; mix well.
Stir in seven cups of flour and knead dough for seven minutes.
Add an eighth cup of flour, place dough in a greased bowl (turning once to cover the other side) and let proof (rise) until doubled.
Form dough into two long loaves on a lightly floured board.
Sprinkle one tablespoon of cornmeal on greased baking sheet; place loaves on top.
Slash the top down the centre with a sharp knife. Cover and let rise until almost doubled.
Brush top of loaves with about two tablespoons of cold water.
Sprinkle with one tablespoon of sesame seeds (optional) and place in a cold oven.
Turn oven to 200°C (400°F), and bake for 45 minutes, or until nicely browned.
Brush twice during baking time with cold water.
Or, better still, with lard (again, two loaves):
Dissolve 1/4 yeast cake in 1/4 of water at about 45°C or 110°F.
Put one tablespoon of butter, one tablespoon of lard, two tablespoons of sugar, and two and-a-half teaspoons of salt in a large bowl, and pour on 2 cups of boiling water.
When the temperature has dropped to about 45°C or 110°F, add dissolved yeast cake and five cups of flour.
Stir until thoroughly mixed and add a last cup of flour.
Mix, and turn onto a floured surface, and knead until mixture is smooth and elastic.
Return to bowl, cover with a clean cloth and cover.
Let proof (rise) over night at about 65°F to 70°F.
The next day, cut through, turning over dough several times.
Dough may be proofed again until it is convenient to shape it into loaves.
Toss on slightly-floured surface, knead, and shape into long loaves and place on baking sheets.
Cover, let rise again to double its bulk, and bake in 400°F hot oven for about 40 minutes. (Beef dripping may be substituted for lard. butter will work, but won't be as white as with lard.)
Additional recipes claiming to be Cuban bread can be found on the Internet. One such is the 'James Beard's Cuban Bread' which includes the cornmeal but skips the lard. The key is to try recipes that sound good to you, and not worry too much about precision (as this is a lost cause).
Roast Pork
Cuban recipes abound for roasting pork. Roast pork can be cooked with garlic or marinated in Mojo . I provide one typically delicious recipe here for consideration. Adjust seasonings to taste, if this doesn't sound absolutely fantastic!
Crush six cloves of garlic and one teaspoon of salt together in mortar and pestle, bowl, or food processor.
Add two tablespoons of fresh (or dried) oregano.
Add one cup of diced yellow onion (white can be substituted) and the juice of a lemon, a lime, and two oranges.
Heat half a cup of Spanish olive oil in a sauté pan, add mixture and whisk.
Pierce a 3lb boneless centre pork loin roast over and over.
Pour most of the mixture over the sirloin and marinade in the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours.
Preheat oven to 450°F and roast in a pan, reducing the heat to 350°F, basting occasionally.
Add the rest of the marinade as it cooks for one and-a-half hours.
The ham is sometimes baked, but often boiled. Some prefer a sweetness content that suggests honey, sugar, or maple-cured. Feel free to use any favourite from leftovers (the probable original source) to and including Polish ham. When sliced hams were not available, jamonada dulce (a sort of chopped sweet ham) was often substituted.
Original cheeses may have been whatever local resources made available or those brought from Spain. It should not be a hard or sharp cheese, but a soft, mild whitish cheese like Swiss or provolone. Even Gouda will do, but that is a bit softer than generally used.
These were probably straight brine-cured, but the Spanish influence could easily be assumed to include either garlic, dill, or both. Feel free to use flat cut pickles as probably the easiest to assemble. You'll never notice the difference.
The most commonly mentioned are mayonnaise, butter, and/or mustard (probably not the yellow, fancy mustard, but use what you like). There is a greenish, pesto-like sauce made with olive oil and herbs that is marvellous. Create your own.
Additional Variations
Salami, while sometimes used, is not part of an authentic Cuban Sandwich; nor is bologna, pastrami, etc. Violate this as you like. The El Pilon Cafe, in south Tampa, for example, can sell 400 Cubanos a week. They make their sandwiches with boiled ham, marinated pork, Genoa salami and Swiss cheese. Provolone is sometimes suggested as well. These all have variations considered to be authentic by their sources.
Additional layers can be included, if you feel you do not eat enough vegetables: lettuce, tomatoes, onions , bell peppers, hot peppers, or even thin apple slices are among the favourites. Try making one without them first. You'll probably never bother to add them in.
For each loaf, you will split it in half and apply a condiment of choice to the bottom half (try just butter).
Add a layer of pickles (any additional layers should also go here).
Apply 4oz thinly-sliced roast pork and 4oz thinly-sliced ham.
Add 4oz of sliced cheese.
Apply any desired condiments to the upper half (perhaps just mustard) and complete the assembly.
The sandwich may look assembled and ready, but this is where the engineering comes in. You will want to butter the outside, or butter the press used for grilling.
This is what separates a Cuban sandwich from a toasted submarine sandwich. The trick is to flatten the sandwich while grilling and toasting the outside. This allows the pork, ham and pickles to be heated in their own steam, and fuses all the flavors together with the cheese. Each loaf is supposed to make four servings, but count on eating two. One traditional slicing method merely cuts the loaf along the end-to-end diagonal, creating two elongated pizza-slice shaped halves.
The most common sin is the application of insufficient pressure in the grilling. A firm, heavy pressure is absolutely required for the best results. The sandwich should be about a quarter of its original height when done. The heat can be as sophisticated or crude as situations allow. All options take about ten minutes, but keep an eye on them.
Grilling options include (alphabetically):
Campfire - take assembled and buttered sandwiches, wrapped in heavy aluminium foil. Make sure you have a couple of large flat rocks to heat in the fire. Place the sandwiches between the hot rocks. Add weight (additional rocks) as necessary.
George Foreman Grill - Basically, this is a grilling press, just add plenty of pressure. Try adding the pressure to the top, rather than the handle, to keep from accidentally breaking handle or hinges.
Griddle - electric or stove-top, but place a heavy iron skillet or bacon press on top. Keep adding weights until the pressure is sufficient. And, be sure to flip it to toast the opposite side!
La Plancha - a traditional sandwich press that heats top and bottom simultaneously.
Oven - heat oven, pan and weights (6-8 firebricks wrapped in aluminum foil work well) to 500°F. Place sandwich on pan and weigh down with bricks.
Panini grill - expensive, but can create a smooth or wavy sandwich depending on the design.
Waffle Iron - a bit off-beat, but in a pinch will be better than not grilling at all.
Properly made and served, you'll find eating the Cubano to be a two-handed enterprise. Pressed and grilled, it will not fall apart easily like a hamburger or BLT; but it will be long, narrow, and moist enough to drip if eaten with one hand. Best to keep a couple of napkins handy in any case.
Be prepared to use elbows, knees and feet to protect your sandwich. Your hands will be very busy, as will your mouth.
Remember that many people rave about these wonderful sandwiches, even when eaten unheated and unpressed. The only thing you won't be is unimpressed.

(*Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate-Chip Cookies*)
If You Love Choco-Chips
but not the hard sweet cookie, try THIS:
USE: Old Fashion Oats
Yield: 4 Doz
Temp.: 350ºF.
Time: 14 - 18min. Golden Brown:
They come out of the oven VERY Soft, but they firm-up as they cool
2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 t. table salt
1/4c. Maple Syrup *** OR 1/2 t. ground cinnamon & 1/4c. corn syrup
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 T. pure vanilla extract
4 T. milk
2 large eggs
1/2 lb. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter,
room temp
1 c. packed light-brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
3 c. old-fashioned oats
1 c. dried cranberries**
(** any dried fruit can be substituted:
+ Dried Coconut, Dates + Chocolate Chips etc. )
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vanilla, milk, and eggs. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars, and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Reduce speed to low, gradually add milk mixture, and beat well.
Add the flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Remove bowl from the electric mixer,
and stir in the oats and cranberries. * Dry fruit & Nuts
Place dough in the refrigerator until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
2.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside. Shape 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball; place on one of the prepared sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing 3 inches apart. Press with the bottom of a glass to flatten dough into 2-inch-diameter rounds.
3. Bake until golden but still soft in center, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove from oven; transfer with parchment to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
***The Maple Syrup not only adds flavor to the oats
but it's a key ingredient that keeps the cookie soft & chewy.
Depending on the ingredients & desired taste, you can
use cinnamon instead of maple syrup, and use corn syrup
to keep the cookies soft & chewy.
I also used chopped dates rather than the raisins
used in the traditional recipe..
...and of course Chocolate chips
If your dried fruit is too hard, soak it in boiling
water prior to chopping & stirring in at the very end.

What: GMO labeling bill news conference
When: 12:30 p.m. Wednesday
Where: Alfalfa's Market, 1651 Broadway, Boulder
U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, this week will announce his introduction of a bill that would require food containing genetically modified organisms to be clearly identified.
"I am proud to help lead the GMO Labeling Bill, which is all about consumer choice and information," Polis said in a news release. "It's important to empower people with the information they need to make their own healthy choices. People have the right to make consumer decisions based on accurate transparency in labeling, and knowledge is power."
Polis -- the lead co-sponsor of the bill -- will hold a news conference announcing the proposal at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday at Alfalfa's Market, 1651 Broadway, Boulder.
"We were very honored his office called and asked if they could hold this press conference at Alfalfa's," said Mark Retzloff, president of Alfalfa's. "Our company's mission and beliefs resonate very closely with what Jared is doing."
Retzloff said he feels it is important consumers have access to all the information they need to make informed choices while buying food.
"We've always supported the consumer's right to know; it's just always been something we've felt very strongly about," Retzloff said. "Our mission here and what we talk to our customers all the time about is transparency. ... I think it's just all about choice, and people have the right to make their decision based on adequate labeling, and fundamentally, knowledge is power for the consumer."
The bill states that consumers have a right to know whether the food they purchase contains or was produced with GMOs. It also defines GMOs and provides civil penalties for violations.
While initiatives have been presented in several states, Retzloff said a federal bill would provide a guideline for all companies to use.
"Knowing as a manufacturer and a retailer that sells these products and gets them from all over the country, something that is consistent throughout so interstate trade can move freely is important," he said.

The oil is so good I can drizzle on anything-potatoes, pasta of course. Very distinct flavor that is smooth and fresh. The vinegar is a perfect pairing for fresh summer salads with this oil.

I have used these products before I tried this set. The difference in taste is like I have never tasted food before.

- NFL Recap – Week 12Houston Texans 34 - Detroit Lions 31On Thanksgiving Day, the Houston Texans faced the Detroit Lions and the Lions jumped out to a 21-14 lead in the first half. In the third quarter the Texans' Justin Forsett ran for a seven yard and was apparently tackled, but he continued the play and ran for 81 yards and a touchdown. Before the touchdown was reviewed, Lions' head coach Jim Schwartz threw the challenge flag, which is against the rules and allowing the touchdown to stand. At the end of four quarters the two teams were tied and in overtime each team has a chance with a field goal, but each kicker missed, until the Texans' Shayne Graham kicked a 32-yard field goal with 2:21 left in OT to win the game.

FULL CLEANING POWER with a cleaning SOLUTION LIKE NO OTHER - 4 ingredients; Orange Peel, Coconut Oil, Lavender & Castor oil. This extraordinary cleaning solution outperforms synthetic products. We tried lots of suppliers products over years and nothing is as good as this ORGANIC CLEANING SOLUTION. Organic is different to the umbrella title of; Eco friendly or plant based. Take a look at these words ; Altered Genes, Twisted Truth; The Biggest Fraud in the History of Science: ( page 384 ) World Famous Dr. Jane Goodall did the foreword to the book, Altered Genes, Twisted Truth. Eco Friendly is often Eco Deadly. Just because something is plant based, even 100%, doesn't tell the whole story as to the plant's origins, or the soil its grown in, i.e. a chemical soup and the profiteering of 'big pharma' companies, at the expense of The Earth. Please understand, Eco Friendliness is bandied about by people who have never done any research nor read any independent books on the subject. Monsanto, the biggest vile chemical producer on the planet was beaten in court by Steven M. Druker, the author of Altered Genes, Twisted Truth. Nobody knows this. People still believe that so-called Eco Friendly products are good, but as I've alluded to above, take a deeper look in to it. This is why we moved to a higher standard, a higher quality of product, at quite an expense to us, however...read on... WE CHARGE THE SAME AS NORMAL CARPET CLEANING but give the highest quality carpet cleaning. Quote by Benjamin Franklin; "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten." Water Extraction ( or whichever method you'd prefer ) which is amazingly powerful and sucks / extracts out the water, product and of course, the soiling. Advanced Stain Treatment; We are accredited to use advanced methods. If we cannot remove a stain - if it's already permanent - then we can nearly always hide it, with special products. Many companies do not know how to do this, or mess this technique up.

Camping. Ah yes, back to nature's basics. Fresh air, the simple life, just you and your oversized hanky getting away from all this stressy modern gadgetry and consumerfest frenzy etc etc. Not.
In fact, camping is a gear freak's wet dream, which possibly explains why so many skiers and cyclists are into it. Ooh, shiny spangly gizmos! Lightweight gadgetry! Things which fold up! Gimme!! Yes, here are all my bank details and the deeds to my soul.
Last weekend's healthy outdoor activities were somewhat curtailed following a mistake with a box of cheap Sauvignon on Friday evening and the following morning spent nattering over coffee, all of which resulted in getting to the chosen camping spot rather too late to do anything very significant. As a result, I found myself doing a tour of Briançon's outdoor emporia with a vague headache, tempted by summer sales and completely ignoring the fact that a) I have no spare cash and b) I don't need anything anyway. But let's be honest, when has that ever stopped anyone buying a load of tat? It's the zeitgeist innit, everyone's doing it. Though you should probably note that the difference between you and, say, Greece is that the German taxpayer is likely to give you an unequivocal nein when you ask him to pay your Visa bill.
We all know perfectly well that all it takes to mount a successful camping weekend is a tent, a mattress, a coolbox and a sleeping bag. Yes it is. No, you do not need the mosquito net, first aid kit complete with ebola vaccine, and 85-piece picnic dinner set with wine cooler and cruet. There are two of you and you are camping in Wales.
But it's hard to resist the pull of the retail addiction, and you can see the results on campsites all over Europe, not to mention at UK music festivals, which appear to have become an irritatingly middle class sort of trendy, necessitating Cath Kidston tents and wellies costing £200 a pair. Personally I like a camping experience which calls for flipflops, but each to his own.
The compulsive camping consumer comes in two sub-species: the Walter Mitty and the Closet Caravanner. Walter rolls up in his car and proceeds to unload the sort of tent you'd expect to find at Everest camp IV, a sleeping bag which packs down to the size of a matchbox and guarantees to keep you warm on the municipal campsite at Archangel in December, an array of tiny pots and pans and a Swiss Army knife three times the size of his tent. He then proceeds to get takeaway pizza and beer from the campsite restaurant before spending an uncomfortable night on his Inertia X-Frame sleeping mat. Walter would like to think of himself as a cross between Ranulph Fiennes and Bear Grylls, yomping his lone way from the Himalaya to the jungles of Borneo with all he needs in his trusty backpack. When in fact he pre-booked his stay on an Alan Rodgers recommended 3* site with English-speaking reception service six months ago just in case they might be full during the first week in June.
The Closet Caravanners come in pairs, sporting Howard and Hilda stylee his 'n' hers waterproofs, and driving huge people carriers as this is the only way they can cram in all the basic essentials. Their tent could sleep a family of six plus staff, and if they didn't bring the kitchen sink it's only because the Gelert fold-up washing up bowl is so much more technical. These people poo-poo the bar and takeaway, preferring to empty their portable fridge onto the foldaway table before rustling up a full three course meal on their four-burner cooker with windshield, grill and rotisserie attachment, then getting quietly sozzled and retiring for a good night's sleep on their three-layer delux flocked airbed with built-in electric pump. As soon as they retire, Howard and Hilda will give in and buy an enormous caravan with an inappropriate brand name like 'Marauder', which they will store in a local farmer's barn, annoying him every other Sunday morning by demanding that he move everything else in there so they can get it out and tinker with it pointlessly in the middle of his farmyard.
All these people have lost sight of the basic premise, which is that camping allows you to get out and about without spending unnecessary wedges of your hard-earned cash on mere accommodation, leaving you with enough to have fun every single weekend rather than saving up all year in order to go on holiday for one measly week, only to find that it rains on you for five days out of seven. So get a grip on your common sense, avert your eyes from the spangly array of ultra lightweight packable Agas with GoreTex awning and built-in barbecue, and get back to basics. You'll have more fun, more often. And there'll probably be less washing up.
This week's camping spot: Le Champ de Blanc, Pramorel. Not easy to find, due to total lack of directions anywhere including their website. Turn right opposite Géant Casino and just before McDonald's, but don't expect any signposts.
Pitches: Large, grassy, mix of sun and shade. Not too rocky for a change. Ensuite grasshoppers for comedy value.
Facilities: None to speak of, apart from peace and quiet and a fantastic view across the Guisane valley.
Showers: Cute – old fashioned tiling, real shower curtains and a rack for your toiletry bottles. One size fits all water temperature.
Price: 13,20€ in high season for car, tent and one person.

A non-agenda item highlighted Tuesday's School Board of Levy County meeting.
During the "board comments" phase near the end of the one-hour meeting, Board Member Robert Philpot of Williston asked where the funds came from to purchase iPads for district administrators because the "perception is out there" the money came out of the General Fund Budget, he said. That was not the case as the funds came from a grant meant to help with classroom walkthroughs and other aspects of teacher evaluations.

U niversity of Colorado graduate student Daniel Higgs and staff member Nathan Campbell are hoping to increase productivity and innovation on campus through a new website that connects students with specialized skills.
The pair launched cuskills.com about two months ago as a test site to gain feedback from users, but this week the site was introduced to all CU students in hopes of creating a database of student skills.
"It's about students helping students," Higgs said. "Students create an account and list the skills they have that they're willing to share with other students."
Users enter their own skills, which Higgs said can be anything other students could benefit from, and then rank their skill level using a five-star system.
The site motto, "linking students to peers who can help," exemplifies the site's pay-it-forward identity, Higgs said.
"Supporting and helping each other is really a strong sentiment in CU's entrepreneurship community and that's what we want to foster here," Higgs said.
The majority of skills listed on the site currently include web development, scientific skills and languages. However, Higgs said as more students sign up, the possibilities are infinite.
"Someone could post that they are good at plucking a cello," Higgs said. "We don't have a specific genre we're going for here so this could include any skill a student wants to share."
There are currently about 60 users on the site from the test phase, but now that the creators have opened it to the entire student body, they're hoping to exceed 500 users by the end of the spring semester.
CU graduate student David Knox joined the test site and listed his skills in computer science, which he is hoping to share with his fellow students.
"I have 30 years of experience in computers, so I feel like I have a lot to share," Knox said. "I'm an older student with experience that I think can help younger students and that's what I like about the site."
Knox said he's also hoping that when more students start signing up, he can find help from his peers , in turn speeding up his research and graduation.
"This could potentially save weeks of research time -- trying to decipher vocabulary and research you find online," Knox said. "This would allow someone locally to put the pieces together for you over a cup of coffee, rather than forcing you to reinvent the wheel."
Knox and Higgs agree that the site will become more successful with more users, expanding the range of skills available on the site.
"We talked to our friends and colleagues about it first, so there is a lot of research-related and web skills right now," Higgs said, "but once we open it up, we're interested to see where the users take it. This site is what I can do. Now, you show me what you're going to do with it."

USA Migrant Labor Shortage
USA Migrant Labor Shortage
Toni Scully owner of the Scully Packing Company in Finley, CA becomes emotional as she stands next to piles of rotting pears on Tuesday, September 12, 2006. The plant typically discards less than a truckload a season, while this season Ð due to a lack of laborers Ð they're discarding 4-6 truckloads per day. Stepped-up border enforcement has led to a shortage of migrant labor which has left much of the pear crop rotting on the tree and ground in Lake County.

Circle's Head Coach Brian Henry returns for his seventh season as head coach for the T-Birds in the 2012-13 season.
Circle's Head Coach Brian Henry returns for his seventh season as head coach for the T-Birds in the 2012-13 season.
Henry boasts a career record of 84-48 at the helm for the Thunderbirds.
Circle was 9-12 last year finishing 4th in the AVCTL Divsion 4 with a 3-7 record.
The Thunderbirds will try to return to the form that sent them to a trip to State in 2010.
The Thunderbirds had three starters from last season's squad graduate in Ashley Frankenbery, Courtney Kifer and Josie Wright.
Though the T-Birds lost a good amount of talent and leadership, Circle returns 6 letter winners from last year's squad.
The T-Birds have three seniors in their projected starting line up in guard Jacy Gibbs Sr. 5'6", (4.1 ppg 3.0 rpg 1.8 spg), guard Alexis Wiebe Sr. 5'5", (.6 ppg 1.3 rpg 1 spg) and forward Jamie Wright Sr. 5'9", (1.8 ppg 1.8 rpg).
Lack of quality varsity level experience will be the first hurdle Circle will have to overcome on its way to a successful season.
Circle returns three more letter winners in Lexee Bruendl 5'8" Jr. Forward, Alison Kirkham 5'3" So. Guard and Allyssa Kirkham 5'3" So. Guard.
Circle will need to build upon its teamwork to mesh together the talents and abilities of players from all four classes this season.

Comedian Amy Schumer has one thing she wants to be known about every career move she makes — she's doing it for the girls.
"I do want to reach as many people as possible, but I am absolutely trying to communicate the female experience and the human experience," Schumer said in a recent phone interview from Los Angeles. "I have a great interest in bringing a bit of justice and shedding some light on the female experience."
That justice is found in biting riffs from her "Mostly Sex Stuff" stand-up special — subjects include the Plan B morning-after pill and being the misfit friend at a wedding shower. Then there's her Comedy Central sketch show "Inside Amy Schumer," which includes bits on sexting and how women have trouble accepting compliments. The latter featured a woman refusing a compliment on her dress: "Little? I'm like a size 100 now. Anyway, I paid like two dollars for it. It's probably made from old Burger King crowns."
Schumer, 32, appeared in the Season 3 opener of HBO's "Girls" (it's her favorite show) this January as a friend of Adam's bitter ex-girlfriend. She says that compared to her set for "Inside," it felt as if "you were living in the middle of a beautiful movie and there just happen to be cameras." Schumer also looks up to "Girls" for how it depicts women.
"I've always loved shows that portray women as human beings," Schumer said. "With comedies, the women always play the role of the nag or the straight man and you don't ever get to see a girl as a dirt girl. It's just nice and it stands out with shows like 'Broad City' or 'Girls,' that we get to see women as these fully realized people. Real human beings that don't spend their time apologizing for being a woman or not fitting into a box or taking up space."
During her seemingly painless rise to fame, Schumer created her own brand of comedy that's equal parts vulgar and cheery with a core audience in mind. Her stand-up often veers to the taboo — think jokes about circumcision and being blackout drunk — but everything is delivered with a touch of irony and aloofness from someone who has described herself as being sweet-looking and "a little Cabbage Patch-y up top."
And this awareness has paid off. At this point, it's feasible to call Amy Schumer the "Queen of Comedy Central." After gaining notice as a fourth-place finisher on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" in 2007, she earned her first "Comedy Central Presents" half-hour special in 2010. She then appeared on the channel's popular roasts of Charlie Sheen and Roseanne Barr before earning her first hour-long special in 2012. "Inside Amy Schumer" ranked as the network's strongest premiere show of 2013.
She has often used misdirection in her comedy, but now with her latest tour and the development of her own show, she intends to deliver a more narrative set when she performs at Washington's Constitution Hall on Saturday.
"I think my sets have more of a point of view and I'm saying more than I used to," Schumer said. "It's more storytelling than using a certain technique."
The format of her own television show makes it easy for Schumer to show off her comedic diversity. Each 30-minute episode features a few minutes of stand-up, a few sketches, interviews with people she finds interesting (Season 1 had a model and an exotic dancer, for example) and questionnaires with people on the streets of New York. Season 2, which premieres on April 1, is "more ambitious," Schumer said. "It's like sophomore year of college. You come back with a new wardrobe and you know what's up."
As for her own brand of comedy, Schumer is still striving for a personal connection and, in fact, it all goes back to the feeling she had while doing sets at dingy comedy bars in New York at the beginning of her career.
"My set is really conversational, and the crowd seems to respond to that," she said. "I just talk to the crowd like they're a friend, and so even if we're in a big beautiful opera house where it's 2,800 people, I still want everyone to leave like we just had a conversation and a few drinks."

MEXICO, Mo. – The Kirksville girls played their second straight conference road game in the past four days, and like they did at Moberly on Friday the Lady Tigers defeated the Mexico Bulldogs fairly easily, 54-22.
Nichole Cook led KHS with 15 points, Kendyl Blanke had 10 points, and McKenzie Russell played a key role grabbing six boards and dishing out six assists. Kirksville played well defensively as a team, but was led by Ashton Vorkink with her four steals. Mexico was held to only three made field goals in each half.
The Lady Tigers improved their record to 3-0 in North Central Missouri Conference play as they prepare to host Macon on Saturday night at KHS.
BMC 48, Novinger 29: NOVINGER, Mo. – Emily Reardon scored 14 points, grabbed 12 boards, added two steals and one blocked shot.
"We just had too many turnovers and couldn't make a shot," said Novinger head coach Chris Prewitt.
The Lady Wildcats will travel to Bevier tonight.
Boys basketball
Novinger 59, BMC 57: NOVINGER, Mo. – Keaton Tade led the Wildcats with 21 and Justin Klingsmith had 18 for Novinger.
The Wildcats trailed at the end of the first three quarters before taking a five-point lead into the final minutes of the fourth. BMC then came down and hit a big three. Novinger (4-2 overall, 1-0 TCC) then turned the ball over on the ensuing possession, with only seven seconds left in the game, but the Wildcat defense didn't allow BMC to get a shot off before the clock hit triple zeros.
"I am so very proud of these young kids fighting through adversity," said Novinger head coach Shane Stocks.
Novinger visits to Bevier tonight.

Red Sox - 000 000 701 - 8 12 1 Yankees - 200 000 001 - 3 6 1
Beckett (7-4-2-2-6, 104) hit Derek Jeter in the first inning and then gave up a home run to Curtis Granderson, putting the Sox in a 2-0 hole. And the visitors' bats were silent until the seventh.
David Ortiz (who was drilled in the right thigh in the fourth inning, prompting warnings to both benches) grounded a single to right-center to start the inning. Jed Lowrie's first-pitch line drive down the right field line got past Nick Swisher for a triple, cutting the Yankees' lead to 2-1. Carl Crawford grounded out to third (1B umpire Brian Knight took a long look at the first base bag before making his call), but Mike Cameron doubled to left, towards the corner, scoring Lowrie and tying the game. Jason Varitek singled to right, as did Jacoby Ellsbury (after fouling off a tough 1-2 pitch), and the Sox led 3-2.
Marco Scutaro then drilled a pitch to left center that the speedy Brent Gardner ran down in the gap and made a leaping catch on. Adrian Gonzalez, who had two fugly strikeouts against CC earlier in the evening, lined a single to center (4-2). That was finally it for Sabathia (6.2-8-6-2-5, 108) and David Robertson came in. Kevin Youkilis singled on an 0-2 pitch (5-2) and Ortiz belted a two-run double to the wall in left-center (7-2). Lowrie flied to left for the third out.
One-out doubles from Scutaro and Gonzalez gave Boston another run in the ninth. Seven of Boston's 12 hits came with runners at second and/or third base.
The game started at 10:32 - after a rain delay of 3:27.
Beckett has made two starts against the Yankees this season - April 10 (4-0) and May 14 (6-0) - pitching 14 scoreless innings, allowing only six hits and three walks, and striking out 19. He was matched up against Sabathia both times (12.1 innings, 16 hits, 7 runs, 7 walks, 10 strikeouts).
The Red Sox (7-1 against New York this year) have won 9 of their last 10 games against the Yankees (also 12 of 15 and 15 of 21) .

Stanczyk has a lot of catch-up to do. I blame it on the season and the Blood Red Lunar Eclipse — certainly that must be cause of the madness this December.
So many blogs have written about the Social Security Death Master File and the many related issues. First millions of records were dropped by the SSA. Next the SSA, and this has probably been going on for months, started redacting the names of the parents on the SS5 Applications, thus eliminating the usefulness of that research tool. Now Congress has bullied the paid genealogy databases (and even Rootsweb) to drop the SS# from their databases on deaths in the last ten years. Rootsweb just dropped their Social Security Database altogether!
Now let me remind the lame (not lame duck) Congress that the Social Security Death Master File is used to inform banks/financials/loan companies/credit card companies etc. that these SS#'s are of the DECEASED and that they should not grant any NEW credit applications with the Social Security Numbers in the Social Security Death Master File! Ergo, having the SS# of a dead person should not avail any criminal and should in fact result in their arrest for fraud, as the afore mentioned companies are supposed to check the Social Security Death Master File against credit apps. Therefore, there is really is no need to eliminate the SS#'s from Ancestry.com or any other database. By eliminating these numbers you cannot order the SS5 Applications — which is just as well since the SSA has made them much less useful. The result is: genealogists have less data available and the US Government has less MONEY($) available since the genealogists now have two reasons not to order the SS5 Applications any longer. The result is the US Government will now lose another source of income??? Boy, is this CONGRESS the biggest bunch of idiots or what?
Eastmans / Website Rankings
Dick Eastman's Online Newsletter recently wrote about new website rankings and gave the URL/Link to a Anglo/Celtic website. Needless to say this is the website that caused this jester to produce a BETTER set of website rankings (please see my page above or at Genealogy Website Rankings). I ask you to please utilize my Genealogy Rankings as they are based upon resources in more common use in the USA (and Canada), such as SteveMorse.org or EllisIsland.org or CastleGarden.org or any Polish-related website or blog. So I am compelled — not because I am as popular as EOGN.com (#12), vs Stanczyk (#120). But clearly leaving off the Steve Morse, or Ellis Island or the US NARA or Fold3 is not accurate in the USA and certainly NOT in the GLOBAL Genealogy market as a whole. Now this is foremost a blog about Slavic Genealogy (Russian-Poland overtly emphasized) and so I have made an effort to seek out and reflect Polish websites of Polish Genealogy websites/blogs (when their popularity reflects the need). I have intentionally not included GENPOL.com because its Global Ranking is too low. It is a very well known website to Polish Genealogists and I am sure in Poland itself it would be in the top 125 (just not Globally). So while this blog has a certain voice, my website rankings deserve as much attention as those that Dick Eastman writes about. Perhaps one day EOGN.com will notice this blog and its Genealogy Website Rankings List — you my faithful readers can help me by emailing Dick Eastman and informing him about my set of Genealogy Website Rankings which is very thorough and includes the Top 125 Genealogy Websites — including Polish & American & Jewish (re NonAnglo-Celtic) websites too. EOGN should not be allowed to perpetuate its blind-spot to other genealogies. Now let me hasten to add the other Rankings does in fact mostly agree with my own Rankings on the top 10 or 20 Genealogy Websites — his Rankings lack Polish/American/Jewish sites and my own Rankings miss a few Anglo websites and all of Ancestry.com's other country sites (UK, CA, DE, AU, etc.) — which should probably be aggregated into Ancestry.com but due to their many domains their totals are segregated by Alexa (ratings agency) and this jester chose not to include so many Ancestry.com properties in the Rankings (which would exclude so many other worthy websites).
As before, let me remind new genealogists that this Genealogy Website Ranking could be utilized to create or augment your genealogy Bookmarks/Favorites. Obviously, they are valuable since a LOT of genealogists visit them.
I forgot to mention about Mocavo.com (I put it into the newest Genealogy Website Rankings). I have briefly mentioned Mocavo.com before (when I found them in my blog analytics). They are a new search engine, akin to Google. However, they are a Genealogy Search Engine and as such is enhanced to understand GEDCOM, genealogy, dates, places, etc. and their search results are more intensely accurate then say what you would get from Google. They also have the ability search databases and include those in results, as well as GEDCOMs. You have the ability to submit your family tree (GEDCOM) to Mocavo and they can provide you with notices of potential new matches — much like Ancestry.com does for their subscribers. So instead of Googling you Family Tree, try MOCAVOing your Family Tree.

A University of Colorado researcher who helped South African double-amputee Oscar Pistorius get to the Olympics last year reacted to today's news that the track star is facing murder charges by saying, "Regardless of who pulled the trigger or why, the world has too many gunshot victims."
Pistorius, a Paralympic champion and the first double-amputee track athlete to compete in the Olympics, was charged with the murder of his girlfriend, who was shot inside his home in South Africa, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
CU professors Alena Grabowski and Rodger Kram joined a team of researchers in 2008 who helped convince the Court for Arbitration in Sport that Pistorius's twin prostheses -- which gained him the nickname "Blade Runner" -- did not give him an advantage over non-amputee athletes.

Critical Factors I value most
It is so difficult to nail down traits that are synonymous with successful running backs, or ones I care about most, due to how many different types of runners succeed. However, the first that stands out is maximizing the yards that are blocked for. This sounds very simple, but frequently freelancing (even if flashy plays can be made) rather than working behind blockers irks me. Mike Gillislee is very good at following his lead blockers on front side runs and getting north and south. Next is the consistency to work past first contact or make the first defender miss. Eddie Lacy and Zac Stacy are known to frequently break first contact. Balance is also very important. Dennis Johnson can shine in this regard due to short, choppy footwork and a low center of gravity. Finally, a runner can improve their value by showing a willingness to pass protect and/or displaying comfort as a receiver.
1. Eddie Lacy, Alabama
Where he wins: Strong lower body runner who always falls forward on contact. Allows blocks to develop but tough to slow down once up to full speed. Underrated passing down back, willing pass protector and adequate receiver.
2. Gio Bernard, UNC
Where he wins: Short, choppy footwork allows for upfield cuts between the tackle or in the open field. Made big plays as a returner. Comfortable as a receiver on angle routes, swings, or screens. Has enough speed to create big runs if given the sideline.
3. Andre Ellington, Clemson
Where he wins: Lean runner who sticks close to his blocks with great acceleration after cutting off their backsides. Despite his narrow base he has some nice balance and isn't afraid of contact as a runner or in pass protection. Decisive cutter, likely in a zone scheme.
4. Johnathan Franklin, UCLA
Where he wins: One cut, decisive runner with great vision to find backside lanes. Doesn't shy from contact as a pass protector and can make a big play happen if given a seam due to excellent straight-line speed. Upfield cuts make defenders miss at the second level.
5. Christine Michael, Texas A&M
Where he wins: Plays with a low center of gravity with explosive cuts to get upfield off blocks. Aggressive mentality with vision beyond first contact. North/south runner who has enough speed to sustain and the toughness and quickness to create.
6. Dennis Johnson, Arkansas
Where he wins: Will shine on passing downs. Short choppy steps allow for quick cuts to change defenders' angles. Comfortable as a receiver in the flats or on angle routes. Low center of gravity helps with broken tackles.
7. Zac Stacy, Vanderbilt
Where he wins: Rarely goes down on first contact. Powerful runner with solid base to work through tackles. One cut runner with some burst. Unafraid to work between the tackles. Covers ground with jump cuts.
8. Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina
Where he wins: One cut, zone runner pre-injury. Showed toughness to finish off runs and always looked to go north and south.
9. Le'Veon Bell, Michigan State
Where he wins: Very agile at the second level for a big back. Has lower body power but shows lighter feet for his size. Strong cuts and sets up defender. Flashes variety of ways to break tackles, namely the strength to stiff arm or thickness to run through contact. Good hands.
10. Montee Ball, Wisconsin
Where he wins: Made the most of space given to him by excellent blocking. Improved vision in 2012, making things happen on his own. Shows a lot of patience with cuts off blocks. Willing to pass protect.
11. Mike Gillislee, Florida
Where he wins: Front or strong side runner. Follows his lead blocker well, cutting off pulling guard or fullback. Sticks his foot in the ground and gets upfield. Little wasted movement. Willing pass protector.
12. Miguel Maysonet, Stony Brook
Where he wins: Decisive, upfield runner who wants to go north and south. Shows determination and enough speed to pick up what is blocked. Determined style, little wasted movement. Does not go down on first contact.
13. Stepfan Taylor, Stanford
Where he wins: Tough, thickly built, north and south runner. Improved making people miss at the second level by running through arm tackles and with swerving hips. Much better burst than long speed.
14. Joseph Randle, Oklahoma State
Where he wins: Made the most of wide open spaces in 2012. Made some highlight reel cuts and even flashed a power element to his game. Dependable receiver and shows a willingness to block.
15. Ray Graham, Pittsburgh
Where he wins: Strong, quick cuts despite the lack of straight-line speed. Runs aggressively and started to look healthy during the Notre Dame game. Breaks tackles by keeping his feet going.
