Devotion shines through in Mexican dishes
By: Bridget Jones, Journal Staff Writer
Restaurant owner developed booming business from trailer
Maria Moreno never thought she would be where she is now when she immigrated to the United States from Mexico in 1969, but her children have been her inspiration throughout the journey. Moreno, 57, is the owner of Maria's Mexican Tacos on Bowman Road. She started the business in 2000 after buying a trailer in Sacramento. She used the trailer to sell her now-famous tacos on the side of Luther and Bowman roads for six months before moving to her current location. "My business was doing better and better and … people kept telling me I needed a kitchen," Moreno said. Moreno grew up in Michoacan, Mexico with her parents, six brothers and a sister. Moreno said life definitely wasn't easy, and she used to tell her mother she wanted to move to the United States so she could have a car. "I think everybody comes to the United States for a better life, and that is why I left my town so young," she said. "People (were) poor, and it (was) too hard for our parents to buy clothes … to raise a big family. It was hard. I think all the time (I) had the ambition to come to the United States." When Moreno arrived in Oxnard from Michoacan, Mexico as a 16-year-old, she was poor and didn't have a high school degree. It was in Oxnard that she met her husband, Ramon. Ramon Moreno was also from Michoacan. The couple came to Auburn, where Ramon was working for Machado Orchards. They got married in 1970, and Ramon started to work for Auburn Disposal. They had three children, Ramon Jr., 37, Clara, 36, and Pancho, 34. When Ramon was 33 he died suddenly while working. The cause of death was unknown, Moreno said. "When I lost my husband it was very hard, because we were a beautiful couple," Moreno said. "We were poor, but we were happy." For 27 years Maria Moreno worked at Machado Orchards and began taking English lessons when she started interacting with customers. "I was working for them and they opened the bakery in 1984," Moreno said. "That is when I started to work … with people. That is (when) I started to learn." Moreno used CDs and took classes in Roseville to learn English. "I don't know perfect English, but at least I am able to talk with people," Moreno said. "I just went to school and learned what I learned. You learn with your kids when they go to school, and sometimes your kids correct you." Moreno said her ultimate goal when working at the orchard and opening her business was not to make a lot of money but to provide as much as she could for her children. "I don't think I care about money," she said. "I care about people, I care about my kids. Until I die I want to be like this." Seeing the Machados work inspired her toward starting her business, Moreno said. "When you work with somebody in business you want to do what they do," she said. "When I was working in the pie shop, they let me make burritos there." Manager Shawnie Machado said Maria's legacy continues at the Orchard. "We wish we had her back, she's that great," Machado said. "People still ask for her now. Maria is liked by everyone. She sends people up here. We send people down there. There is no better person than her in my book." Ramon Moreno Jr. said times were tough growing up, but his mom always managed to put money aside to give him and his siblings special treats. "She told us it would be OK," he said. "We didn't have the best things. We went shopping at second-hand stores. She did what she could. She was devoted to us. She still saved enough to take us to Disneyland, take us on vacations." Clara Moreno said her mother worked extra hard to save money for a special event. "I had a quinceañera, and my mom saved for that party for me to have," Clara Moreno said. "Even through rough times when things happened to her, she always found a way to get it done." Maria Moreno not only has her children to be devoted to now, but four grandchildren, Sicilia, 14, Mia, 5, Diego, 6, and Aidan, 3. Maria Moreno said Sicilia helps her with the restaurant and pushes her to keep going when she feels overwhelmed. "That is my big reason to be here: my kids and now my grandkids," Maria Moreno said. Local customers are glad Maria Moreno struck out on her own. Auburn resident Ed McCarthy, who said he goes to the restaurant once a week, said the laid back atmosphere and Maria Moreno's caring nature make for a great dining experience. "It's relaxing," McCarthy said. "We just sit back and talk, and it's a nice place to hang out. She always comes out and just chats with us for a few minutes." McCarthy said at other Mexican restaurants he usually gets a platter, because he isn't sure what to order, but that is not the case at Maria's. "It's good Mexican food," he said. "I come here and I get particular things, because I like them." The restaurant can be overwhelming sometimes, but her customers make it worthwhile, Maria Moreno said. "I love to deal with people, because I love my customers," she said. Now Maria Moreno is involved in community events and caters for weddings and parties. When she took some time off to visit Mexico, she said her customers expressed concerns that her business was closing, and this showed her how much the community cares for her. "Everybody was worried," she said. "You know why? Because they care about (me). That's beautiful."

We do apologize for the circumstances. Style 5694 Twin Firm is made of much firmer material therefore you might need a diff. cup size in style 5490 Twin. Anita Rosa Faia Seamless Underwire Bra 5490 is more for comfort than for firmness. It has more strech in the Cup material.
Mary from Virginia Beach, VA, USA
HerRoom Response:
We are please to hear that this bra worked out for you. Please visit our link for Bra Fitting Advice.
Linda from Joplin/Mo/USA
The 5490 Twin is one of our best selling bras worldwide, but we apologize that this bra did not provide enough support for you. HerRoom carries many different styles of Anita, so perhaps another style would work for you.

London! Best city in the world?
I have just returned from a 2 hour walk through London. Starting at Leicester Square I swung by Westminster along Southbank to St Pauls and then to London Bridge and home.I have to say when the sun is out there is no city like London considering the buildings old and new, history, different cultures and so forth etc.What city do you put in your top city list? My top five is Beijing, Rio, Sydney, Hong Kong and London. I have lived in 3 of the 5, it is hard to rank them but I would have London at no.1.I haven't been to Rome though and reckon that would be in the top 5 if I did.Same with Madrid/Barcelona who could probably push it.What are your favourites cities?Ben Wilson - Author of Change Your Thinking, Change Your ShapeMetabolic Typing - London NutritionistPersonal Trainer LondonRugby Coaching & Rugby Training

Currently, the federal government taxes estates worth $5 million dollars and up at 35 percent. When the Bush-era tax rates expire in January, rates increase to 55 percent on estates of $1 million or more. While some Republicans want to eliminate the death tax entirely, President Obama has proposed a 45 percent rate on estates of $3.5 million and up.

This so completely wrong. People pay taxes on their earnings and businesses all their lives, the government should not be entitled to over 1/2 of it just because someone dies. Disgusting.

strand of oaks "jm" and "shut in" via out of town films
sometimes its hard to put into words what an artists body of work means to you. most of the times you read reviews and its purely methodical. there's no heart, no past history, just what they're hearing now. sometimes music is a puzzle, and it doesnt make sense, until you put it all together. thats how i feel about mr showalter aka strand of oaks. i have loved, deeply, all his releases, but listen to them back to back and it all begins to make a bit of sense. every record, alone, stands on its own merits or awesomeness, but as a whole… he's not a one off kind of artist, you have to listen to everything. eh whatever… just watch these two videos.. "jm" is his tribute to jason molina, btw.

the sweet life: 16 years with anders parker, a brief retrospect
me and anders parker go way back, or at least it seems. im not talking about me and anders, personally, but me and his music. like most of my most beloved purchases, i happened up varnaline's sweet life purely by accident aka i was buzzed, walked into quaker goes deaf and blindly bought it. i was a regular, they new my tastes, and recommended it. went home that night, put it on the hi-fi and after the opener "gulf of mexico" new i had to put the whole thing on repeat. call it a gut feeling, but i probably listened to it 6/7 times that night. i had just started dating my then girlfriend/now wife, and when she came home at midnight, she joined me in the listening party, the beer flowed, the music grew more and more personal. it truly was one of those musical moments when you connect with something, and know it will always stay with you. over the next 1.5 years, that was our record, listening to it constantly. fast forward to august 26, 2000, we danced to the last track on the record "sweet life" at our wedding. fast forward 2 days after said wedding, and we brought our little boombox to the beach of gulf shores, alabama, and played "gulf of mexico" as we laid on the beach as the water rolled over us. it was magical…
in 2001, he/varnaline released songs in a northern key which if legend holds true, he locked himself in a cabin somewhere near the catskills and recorded mostly all of it by his lonesome. granted, i may be off on some of this, as there are other players on the record, but me thinks most of was recorded all by his lonesome. one thing that makes it ultra magical, is that one of the best producers on the planet, john agnello, produced/mixed/engineered this record. as i type this, my wife is sitting on the back porch, drawing and listening to songs in a northern key. the day my son mac was born, we did two things: 1. tossed around naming him anders and 2. played "still dream" in our delivery room. once we got a good look at him, he just looked like more a "mac" than an "anders."
anders parker writes songs that stick to the bone, to the soul, to whatever you hold dear. i am merely scraping the surface of his work by talking about those two varnaline records – there are two varnaline ep's too, if memory serves me correctly. i dont do research, i just write in a furry. much like hansel, i celebrate his entire catalogue with the passion of
he's got a new one out entitled there's a blue bird in my heart, and straight off the bat, like sweet life, i knew this one was something really fucking special. about 1.30 minutes into the opener "the road" is when i knew it, felt it. "well we all walk the fire and we stood in the rain but the sun will shine brighter when weve weathered everything… youre changing, and im changing too, youre changing and im changing just like you…." this sounds like my life the past few years, for better or worse, but mostly better. everything about there's a blue bird in my heart is like taking a trip through memory lane. its not some fake nostalgia for something that was never really there, but for some reason romanticize as if it actually meant something. it brings up true feelings, real life memories, the good, the bad, the fucking ugly, and the beautiful. this may not make much sense, like most everything, i say, but if i were you, i would listen to sweet life and then there's a blue bird on my shoulder and maybe it will? there's a blue bird in my heart will no doubt be in my top 5 records of the year… there really is no reason it shouldnt be in yours too.

drunken ramblings: strand of oaks' heal
the first time strand of oaks' "end in flames," i was smitten. then there's the rest of timothy showalter's debut, leave ruin, to say it moved me in ways most records dont, is an understatement. it was beautiful and honest, something my life needed 5 years ago, and well it still does. the next year brought me, pope killdragon, which was definitely a darker departure, at least musically, but timothy's cut to the bone lyrics remained, and again, i found solace in them. i dont really care to know the backstory of songs, cause i make up my own interpretations, and ill be damned if whatever timothy was going through, at that time, didnt fit whatever i was dealing with at that my own personal juncture. this cycle continues with dark shores… so i wont beat a dead horse. the past 5 years havent been particularly easy for me, ive prob drank too much, didnt pay enough attention to my family, had my anxiety rule my world, etc… granted i wasnt an asshole, but i couldve been a much better person than i was, and i suspect timothy was in the same boat. its now 2014, in case you didnt know, and my life is better, still struggling, but better, and after listening to heal for about the 100th time, i can only gather timothy is in a better place too, and we as listeners/fans can only be thankful for that. heal is nothing like any of his previous 3, its loud as hell and glorious as shit. j mascis plays the geetar on the opener, "goshen 97," for crying out loud! lyrically, he's just as honest, just as beautiful, and i thank the world for artists like timothy showalter. his ode to jason molina, "jm," is probably the best tribute i have heard, btw….

there are artists/bands that come into our lives that for a brief moment fill whatever void we are needing filled for that particular moment. we've all had them, and thats not saying its a bad thing, but for the lazy, like me, it is what it is. then there are artists like new orlenian, caleb caudle. he recently released paint another layer on my heart, and god damn if it aint damn near perfect. i am not clairvoyant, duh, but me thinks i have a pretty grasp on talent, and mr caudle has everything that would make an artist i will still be listening to in 10+ years. shit, maybe even 20 when im 60! hopefully the musical gods look down on him and grace him with longevity, cause he more than definitely deserves it. i love everything about paint another layer on my heart, they lyrics, the musicians, the lydia loveless backing vocals, everything. if you only listen to 5 records i post about this year, make sure this is one of them. i know this album was just released, and im going to enjoy every minute of it, but again i cant help but to think about whats next for caleb?
i should mention that the "trade all the lights" video is all new orleans, and its absolutely gorgeous. i only love two cities, one being chicago, the other new orleans… and yes, thats lydia loveless backing him up on "trade all the lights" and "how'd you learn"

HLFX: Lost in Black MesaFull Version 19 comments

A singleplayer mod for Half-Life based on a new version of Half-Life FX engine. While the main mod, HLFX:Single, that uses maximum of engine features, is still being developed, you can have an opinion of relatively small project entitled HLFX: Lost in Black Mesa.
Many people were missing during the Black Mesa incident. Only a few, a mere handful of people succeeded to reach the surface, where they were being awaited by armed troops of marines with an order to annihilate any witness of the catastrophe. You are Alex Jones, a young scientist that by a lucky chance worked in an HEV suit when it was an accident. When leaving your laboratory and entering an elevator you could not even imagine that the way out will be so long and difficult. Kindred and friends have already considered you a missing person. But can it be true that a person lost in a huge underground complex will meet them again and tell the truth about what was happened in the Black Mesa Research Facility?
The mod uses a lot of daring innovations brought by a latest version of Half-Life FX:
HLFX: Lost in Black Mesa consists of three gameplay levels. You will visit a laboratory complex and a part of Black Mesa monorail transit system. Like a HLFX:Single demo version, you will meet doors with keypads and will have an opportunity to manually delve into electric wiring to restore the power for some systems. Do not forget that Black Mesa complex is way too large, so there are some secret places in the game that are not accessed easily. Upon revealing a secret the game will show how much places like that there are on the level. And they are on each level, so keep your eyes open! In other respects this is a classic Half-Life-style gameplay - we still do our best to keep the original atmosphere. And you will judge whether we made it.
Please launch the mod only with the supplied launcher lbm_fx.exe located in the "lbm_fx/system" directory! Otherwise game may not work. If you need to run the game with additional peremeters, add them to the shortcut for that laucher. Please note that the game uses a modified opengl32.dll that is copied into Half-Life directory on game startup. When game shuts down this file is left in the game directory. In this case some anti-cheats may consider you a cheater and ban your CD-key. Therefore either disable anti-cheating software or manually delete opengl32.dll from Half-Life directory before running multiplayer games or mods. Chain Studios has no responsibility for a probable ban and frankly warns you.

hmm, seems like it needs some optimization, runs considerably slower than half-life 2... also it crashes, are you sure it's compatible with Steam version of hl2?
It is not compatible with any versions of hl2.
sorry, my bad. i ment hl1's steam version.
Well, it is compatible with both hl1 versions (in OpenGL render mode). Crashes more likely depend on hardware/drivers.
wouldn't it be better to move it to the orangebox version of source engine, anyway? the demo runs slower than mods that run on that (with better graphics i might add)...
There is actually nothing interesting to move to Source. The point of this mod is improved graphics for GoldSrc and almost nothing but grapics.
i saw that panel ... clicked on it and only saw 2 things ... a power indicator and a x ... clicked on them and nothing happened. is something missing?
This means VGUI panel does not work for you.
Maybe you should try another version of HL...
this may b a bumb question ... but after playing this mod for a while, i'm stuck at a door that needs power to operate, i found the power room (i think) but can't figure out how to proceed. any help will be grately appreciated. thanks guys
You should use a panel opposite to the door in a power room. There is a window with a puzzle, use mouse to click the elements. When the puzzle is done, power will be up.
Wow, you guys fail to understand this mod is simply a test and tech demo of what is possible on the gold-source engine.
It's meant to show off graphical effects.
It's not meant to be the best mod ever or even have great gameplay or great mapping. Although in my opinion, gameplay is good and mapping is above decent.
Will the source of FX be available to all? Would be a shame if none of us can take advantage of such useful effects.
I didn't like this mod. Crashed for me multiple times but I'll ignore that. Level design is... well, it needs lots of work. Secret areas are not secret, item placement is ridiculous, the maps makes no sense, the Gargantua area is impossible and soooo on.
Fancy graphics helps a lot, but if you turn that off, the mod falls appart. I like the keypads and the physics but that's all.
I really enjoyed other mods based on HL's story, seriously, maybe because they focused on the gameplay and levels. You guys already show the fancy graphics on HL:fx single demo. This mod wasn't necessary.
Less FX and better gameplay. Go.
No idea why this showed up below Dinner-Hero, this was for a message SysOp posted on Page 2
Arrange-mode (Not the WIP one, the released one) wasn't much better, it was an unoptimized laggy mess of random effects and crap, that was bundled with 2 decent HL style maps.
This mod hasn't crashed for me, that's your own issues I guess. Besides, people and their projects don't revolve around you, if they wanted to build a more tech-demo like mod, let them. You don't pay for these projects and you don't have any stake in them.
Yeah but I think this mod's main objective is the engine, not the campaign itself, but the maps are good though, it doesnt exactly need to be sick with detail, they are good for hl1 maps.
There is a nice russian saying: "зовидуют молчо" :) Which actually stands for "we appreciate your concern but please let us decide what was necessary and what was not".
No, doesn't mean that.
There's cool argentinian saying: "ponete las pilas chabón" and stands for "this project totally rocks" ;)
Good luck
At least we have self-respect and do not beg for the sources to "arrange" them with the "best mod ever" or something. Still cannot forgive I did not deign to give an answer? :)
Good luck either.
lol, that's water under the bridge. I wouldn't have forigiven myself for creating just a visual-driven mod like yours. Thanks god you didn't reply.
Can't stand someone isn't pleased with your mod? It does happen, get used to it.
ModDB's comment system aims for comments about mods, not personal issues. If you have some, send PMs, otherwise, keep working really hard in your projects. I mean, really really hard.
I will never get used to such a disrespectful expression of an opinion. You would rather reserve your peremptory tone for the teammates. And I really do not understand why the heck do you decide whether we must go or work hard or something.

CHICAGO ( MainStreet) -- Every day seems to bring more hand-wringing about the expanding American waistline. Thanks to our fat-laden diets and largely sedentary lifestyle, we're heavier and more out-of-shape than ever. And all that weight is a heavy burden on American businesses that pay some portion of their employees' health care costs.But how do you encourage workers to take better care of themselves? Multipronged wellness programs have become a staple of large corporations' benefit plans, offering everything from in-house gyms to smoking-cessation clinics. Small companies may not have the money or personnel to undertake a full-scale wellness initiative, but there are still simple steps employers can take to nudge workers toward a healthier lifestyle.

Hey all,
I don't know if this will be taken down or not. Not sure what the "rules" are but I'm a member here at Babycenter. I have two kids and am possibly expecting our third.
I started a website called www.thetradingbaby.com. It's not a make money thing or anything like that. I came up with the idea for it when myself and another woman met on cragislist and because neither one of us had a whole lot of money, we ended up trading some items. She needed a baby monitor and a bumbo and I needed a double stroller. We ended up making a trade. That's when I came up with the idea to create a website where you could post stuff you were looking for or stuff you wanted to get rid of. So I went to godaddy.com and bought the domain name and voila, it's now up and running but because it's new it doesn't see a whole lot of traffic. I'm saving up the money to get it searchable on the major search engines but until then, it's word of mouth.
Anyway, I was writing to try and get the word out about it and maybe help some of you out in the process. Like I said, it's free, I don't make money off of it or anything. It's just simply to connect people that can help each other out. My sister in law put a post on there where she was looking for a sewing machine and would trade for custom nursery art (she's a graphic design artist and painter) so it's not just baby stuff that you can trade.
I apologize if I broke any rules by posting this. But I thought it was relevant and no money or anything, no scam. I have an about me page on the website as well. It only has a couple posts from the New York area and those are from me and my sister in law. But if you would, check it out and make a post if you want. It's going to take a while for it to get big (I'm hoping for it to be the craigslist of baby items, LOL) but I'm going to let it go for a year and see where we're at next summer. If it takes off, great, if not, it was a good idea. Thanks for your help and I hope the website can help some people get the things they need without spending a bundle.
