World Vital Records Web Guide
By Rick Crume
How to get the most out of your World Vital Records subscription.
Imagine an online service that gives you access to thousands of databases: Family and local history books, census records, passenger lists and old newspapers—all at your fingertips. Can you guess the service we're describing? No, it's not
. We're thinking of World Vital Records, a similar, but newer and smaller service.
Launched in 2006 by one-time
president Paul Allen and some of his former employees, World Vital Records is closely following Ancestry.com's early model by cobbling together a large collection of databases and making the whole shebang available by subscription.
Allen has been busy developing additional properties, including the
We're Related application for Facebook
, a social network called
, the tree-building site
, interactive history site
and the under-construction
, which will link references in the
Family History Library catalog
to online data. Since 2008, all are grouped under the corporate name FamilyLink.com.
World Vital Records aggregates books, family trees, passenger lists and newspapers from a variety of content partners. Some of these resources are available elsewhere online for free or by subscription, while others have been digitized and indexed just for World Vital Records. Like Ancestry.com, World Vital Records lets you search for a name in thousands of resources at once. That broad-brush search might turn up genealogy clues in a book or record collection you never would've thought to check. Here's how to get the most genealogy bang for your World Vital Records buck.
Getting started
This "map" will help you get around World Vital Records:
Frankly, the site isn't pretty—it looks more vintage 1999 than 2009, and it's tiring to see the same imposing book ad and testimonial splashed across every page on the site. But accessing all of World Vital Records' databases in one place is cheaper and easier than searching them out individually online, buying all the books or traveling across the country to research in person.
World Vital Records divides its offerings into two subscriptions: a US Collection and a World Collection, which has the US records plus content from the UK, Canada and other countries (see below for prices). New databases show up on the site's home page; some of these are free for 10 days after they're posted. Take the name count for each database with a grain of salt. For example, the publisher's description of the book Missing Relatives and Lost Friends says it has about 5,000 names, but World Vital Records claims it has 23,349 names.
US Collection content
The following resources come with the US Collection:
For decades,
Genealogical Publishing Co.
has printed books packed with useful information on Colonial genealogy, immigrants, royal ancestry and other resources. World Vital Records has digital versions of more than 1,000 of the publisher's books (and counting). The
Simmons Historical Publications
collection totals more than 350 tomes of transcribed records from Kentucky, North Carolina and Tennessee. You'll also find genealogies from Connecticut's
Godfrey Memorial Library
and nearly 5,000 French Canadian genealogy titles from
Quintin Publications
, including genealogies, biographies, local histories and Quebec church records. You can view images of yearbook pages from 25 universities dating from 1875 to 1960 as a result of World Vital Records' partnership with
. When you search World Vital Records for an ancestor, the site also automatically searches
Google Books
and tacks those matches onto your search results.
Family trees:
World Vital Records is bringing two large heretofore-print-only family tree collections online for the first time. Everton's Pedigree Chart and Family Group Sheets database contains more than 3.5 million names. Meitzler Ahnentafel, a collection of pedigree charts from subscribers to the now-defunct Heritage Quest magazine, has another 3 million names. World Vital Records also searches WebTree.com's online family trees.
Newspapers and journals:
The growing collection of newspapers on World Vital Records includes publications from
; most are from Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania between 1759 and 1923. You can also view pages from 200 issues of Everton's
Genealogical Helper
magazine back to 1947 with 4 million names in all. Content from Paper of Record, a large collection of newspapers from the United States, Canada, Mexico and Australia (which was bought by Google), is being added.
Immigration and passenger lists:
World Vital Records has
Ellis Island
's information on 24 million names of passengers who arrived at Ellis Island between 1892 and 1924, as well as 5,000 passenger lists from the
Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild
. You also can search the mammoth
Filby's Passenger and Immigration Lists Index
, but sometimes it gives you only a useless code, rather than a bibliographic reference with a book title.
Gravestones, census records and more:
Gravestone inscriptions from
Find a Grave
and early Mormon membership lists contain millions of names. Census images from
cover selected states and counties from 1790 to 1920, and you can browse images of census indexes from World Vital Records' books collection. Because the indexes aren't linked to the census records, though, you're better off using online censuses at Ancestry.com,
HeritageQuest Online
and FamilySearch's
Record Search Pilot
World Collection content
The World Collection includes the US records and adds resources from several other countries:
Great Britain and Ireland:
English and Welsh resources from
include the 1841, 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 censuses and browsable indexes to births, marriages and deaths from 1837 to 1983. World Vital Records' plans call for adding the 1851 and 1901 censuses.
Church records from the Everton Library, housed in Logan, Utah, encompass published indexes of pre-1812 registers from parishes in Staffordshire and a few in other English counties. An Irish wills index (1484 to 1858) and the 1851 census of Dublin are among the databases from the Irish genealogy site
Canada and Australia:
In addition to French Canadian church records from Quintin Publications, this collection offers scanned volumes from Archive CD Books Canada and the Dundurn Group covering Canadian history, politics and biography. Australian resources include the Ryerson Index to 2 million death and other notices in 156 newspapers and books from Archive CD Books Australia.
Other foreign content:
Rounding out the international collection are online family trees from Argentina called Familias Argentinas and a transcription of the 1828 Hungarian land census.
Search hints
The search isn't as user-friendly as some other big genealogy sites. You can do a Quick Search for a first and last name on the home page under Start Building Your Family Tree, and on the right side of most other pages. That works fine for an unusual name. But if you're searching for a common name, click on the Search tab to access the Advanced Search to narrow your search with more criteria (see Search Secrets, below, for a demo). You might enter a town, county or state in the Lived In field and an occupation or spouse's name in the Keyword field. You also can limit the search to a country or state in the Narrow To field, and check a box to return only US records.
You have a couple of options for finding alternate spellings of your ancestors' last names. You can select Soundex or Double Metaphone (both are systems for finding similar-sounding surnames) under Matching Type, but in our tests, these searches sometimes ignored the last name altogether. You can use an asterisk as a wildcard, but only after at least three letters. For example, a search on the name
Robson, Robinson
. You can use a wildcard in other fields, too: Enter
in the Lived In field to find both
. You're supposed to be able to use quotation marks to search on a phrase in the Keywords field, but it didn't work for me.
To get a match, all the search criteria you specify must appear in a single record in a database, or in the same line or paragraph in the text of a digitized book. If you enter more than one word in the Given Name or Family Name field, the words must appear next to each other in matching records. The Lived In field searches only parts of a record marked as "Place" entries, while the Keyword field searches more fields. If you enter a date, you'll get matches only on databases that contain date fields. This means you'll need to try different combinations of search terms.
All databases on World Vital Records use the same search form—no customized forms for individual databases. When you search a single collection, such as military records or newspapers, you'll get results from that collection plus Google Book Search. When you search a specific database, you get results from just that database and Google Books.
Keep in mind a couple of quirks: You can search on just a last name, but a surname-only search misses some matches in books, so repeat the search with a given name. Also, if you add a year or a place to your search, you won't get matches in pedigree charts and family group sheets. To search these collections, enter a given name and a family name, or just a family name, and leave all the other fields blank.
Viewing matches
If you get a lot of matches, you might need to click a link at the bottom of the list to "view all results." (Newspaper results group all matching articles under the paper's title, so you may need to click again to get to individual articles.)
In the list of matches, click in the More Details column on the right to view the page image or more information from the record. When the result is an image, such as a book or newspaper page, your search terms are highlighted in yellow. Bibliographic information, useful for citing the source, appears below the image. Buttons at the top of the record viewer let you print, save and e-mail record images.
A few more quirks here: In our tests, links to newspapers always went to page 2, whether or not the match was on that page. Be sure to note the page cited in the search results list and go to that page. Also, we had some trouble using the Firefox browser to view British census images. A message popped up to "Click here to download plugin," which we did. But then it said, "No suitable plugins were found." After using Internet Explorer to download the DjVu plug-in, Firefox worked fine.
Finding relevant databases
Doing a global search of all the databases on World Vital Records lets you cover a lot of ground at once. But examining individual databases might turn up useful information the global search misses. Unfortunately, it can be tricky to find the databases you need.
Navigation tabs let you view databases by place or record type, but neither option is very useful. When you click the Places tab to browse databases by country or state, many items are only tangentially related to the state or country they're listed under—British Roots of Maryland Families and US Korean Casualties 1950-1957, for example, are considered New York databases.
The Record Types tab groups databases into eight categories, but here, too, the categorization doesn't always make sense. For instance, most databases under Birth, Marriage and Death Records don't focus on vital records—including
A Genealogy of the Kelly Family
A Short History of Staten Island
. Databases in the Newspapers category are arranged in an alphabetical list, rather than by place. A link at the bottom of the Places, Record Types and Search pages lets you Browse by Popular Collection. Here, you browse collections by source, such as FindMyPast and NewspaperArchive.com, but each source's databases are just organized alphabetically
Keep in mind that the alphabetical database lists don't ignore an initial
. So databases with titles that start with
, for example, are listed under the letter
. Titles that begin with a number, such as 10,000 Vital Records of Central New York, appear under Other.
Although most of World Vital Records' alphabetized database listings aren't very helpful, there's a good way to find databases that cover surnames, places and subjects you're researching: First, click on the Record Types or Search tab, then Search by Database Title, and enter your search terms. The search engine looks for the exact string of characters you enter: A search on loyalist finds titles containing loyalist or loyalists. A search on
Lancaster County
will find
A History of Lancaster County
, but not
A History of Lancaster, Pennsylvania
. See our Search Within a Database demo, below, for more tips.
Once you find a promising database, click on Browse This Database to go to the first page of a book. You can browse page by page, but because there aren't links to chapters or sections, start with the table of contents or the index.
Still in its youth, World Vital Records isn't as big or sophisticated as some other genealogy sites on the scene, but it's worth a try for the convenience of finding a variety of resources in one place.
World Vital Records Search Demos
Search for Ancestors
Unless you're looking for an unusual name, use the Advanced Search form. To find it, click on the Search tab or the Advanced Search link on the home page.
Enter a person's name, a place name, a keyword or a combination of these. If you're searching on a common name, add a city, town, county or state in the Lived In field to find results for that place. You also can add a keyword, such as an occupation or spouse's name, in the Keyword field. Experiment with adding a year, such as the person's year of death if you're looking for an obituary, or the range of years when someone lived in the place you specified.
We're searching for George W. White, an artist in Hamilton, Ohio. I entered
as the Family Name and
as the Given Name.
. If you get few or no matches, search on fewer fields. Click the breadcrumb trail to adjust your search, or use the link at the end of your results list to search with Soundex on the last name.
Ensure you catch name variations by repeating your search with alternate spellings. For example, we'll also try
George W
in the Given Name field.
To get matches in pedigree and family group sheet collections, enter a Family Name and, optionally, a Given Name, but nothing else. Also search without a date and keyword to see all possible book results, as well as matches in databases without these fields. We tried our searches with and without
in the Lived In field and
in the Keyword field.
View Records
. Matches are grouped according to collection and database title. "Featured databases" are listed first; these matches are repeated in the collection categories below. For example, the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) is displayed under both Featured Databases and Birth, Marriage and Death Records—click either place to see the same SSDI matches. Click on a database title to view matches from that database.
If the match is in a newspaper, note the page number first. Click on More Details to see full information and the source from a transcribed record, or to view a digitized book or newspaper image in World Vital Records' image viewer.
Not all records open in the image viewer. When you click on a newspaper match from content partner Paper of Record, you download the page as a PDF file. Matches in
Ellis Island passenger lists
take you to that site to view the records; matches in Google Book Search take you to
Zoom in and out using the image viewer controls. Use your mouse to drag the image around to the parts you want to read. Browse books and newspapers by clicking the blue arrows, or type in a page number to go right to that page. The black and white arrows let you toggle between positive and negative images; a Sharpen box makes words in the record a bit sharper. Click the disk icon to download the page you're viewing (you can't download a series of pages or a whole book at once).
Search Within a Database
Instead of just searching for people's names, browse through databases relevant to your research, such as genealogy books on your family names and county histories for the places where your ancestors lived.
To find promising databases, we recommend using the Database Name search. Click on the Record Types or Search tab, then choose Search by Database Title.
Type one or more words in the search box (don't worry about capitalization), using these strategies:
If you're looking for a specific book, search on one or more words in the title.
To find databases for a place, such as county histories or newspapers, search on a town, county, state or country.
To find family histories and genealogies, search on a last name.
Also try keywords such as loyalist, pilgrim or confederate to turn up other databases you hadn't thought to check.
This search isn't foolproof, because it finds only databases with your search term in the title—newspaper names, for example, don't always contain the place where they're published. Also remember that the search finds the exact string of letters you enter in a database title.
. Click on a title to search or browse within that database. If the database is a book or newspaper, the Browse link takes you to the first page.

Hacks and Shortcuts
Search tricks
A surname-only search misses some matches in books, so add a given name if you're looking for book results.
To find someone in pedigree charts or family group sheets, enter given and family names, or just a family name, and leave the other fields blank.
To catch variations on personal and place names, use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard after three or more characters.
Quickly switch to a Soundex search by clicking the "With Soundex on the surname" link below your results list.
Because the Soundex and Double Metaphone searches didn't work consistently for us, search on variations of surnames.
Try variations of given names (such as Cathy and Kathy for Kathleen), as the World Vital Records search engine doesn't automatically find these.
Try your searches without a date, place and/or keyword to ensure you get matches in records from databases that don't have these fields.
To adjust your search, rather than repeatedly hitting the back button to return to the search screen, find the breadcrumb trail above your results and click Global Database Search or Search.
To find individual databases to search, go to
and enter names, places or topics related to your family.
See neighbors in the SSDI
World Vital Records' Social Security Death Index (SSDI) database is geocoded, so if your ancestor's SSDI record gives a last residence, you'll see it on a map, along with nearby cemeteries. You also can click See Neighbors in your search results for a list of people who died the same year in the same zip code as your ancestor.
Free access
World Vital Records makes a few of its databases free for 10 days after they're added. To see what's available, go to the Browse Recent Databases page and look for "Free for [insert number] more days" after database titles.

Last night, the faux-news show The Daily Show took on Florida's new voter registration law. Among those interviewed by correspondent, John Oliver, was Deirdre McNab, president of the League of Women Voters of Florida. In the segment, Oliver investigates exactly what kind of trouble a voter registration form could get into if it isn't turned into the State within the new 48-hour requirement.

>Running 101>My first Half Marathon - Looking for Advice
I started running on August 7. Prior to that I hadn't had any exercise in almost 5 years. I am planning on doing my first half marathon in a month's time on November 11. Last night I completed my further run yet at 8.5 miles in 1 hr 29 min. Not a great pace (10:30/mile). My shorter runs during the week are 4 miles, with my long runs on the weekends (or late Friday nights). My weekly mileage is averaging around 15 miles a week. I completed my first 10K three weeks ago in 1 hr and 1 min. I haven't incorporated any interval training into my runs yet, but planning to start interval training after the half marathon.
All my running friends are telling me to forget the half marathon this year and that its too soon, (and no one can prepare for a half marathon in 3 months from nothing).
Will I be ready for the half marathon on Nov. 11, and what approach to my training should I take the next 4 week. Thanks very much for your help.

With so little information (you might want to make your log public here at RA), I'll have to back up your friends and advise you to wait. Consider this: right now it's taking you almost an entire week to run a half marathon.
You would be much better off if you could roughly double your weekly mileage and get to the point where a 10 mi long run is no big deal. In addition to your regular 4 mile runs, try to get in one that's a little longer, you could increase one of your 4 mi runs to 5 or 6 for starters. You should be able to do that over the course of 4 - 6 months.
That being said, I'm sure you complete a HM, but it probably won't be any fun. If you do it and you're miserable, please don't give up on running. It gets a LOT more fun after you have many more months and even years under your belt.
If and when you start doing "interval training", please proceed cautiously. Lurk around here, read and learn.

Thanks. Can you recommend a good weekly running schedule? Right now I am running every other day. So depending on the week its either 3 or 4 runs. To get to 30 miles a week, guess I need to increase the number of times I run to 5 or 6? How do I make my training log public?

Try Hal Higdon. He has a lot of decent, free training plans for any distance from 5K to Marathon for Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, etc.
You could start by looking at the novice 10K and see how that feels considering where you are. If that seems too easy you could try the Intermediate 10K which will introduce you to different types of speedwork without greatly increasing your volume (whether or not you actually race at the end is irrelevant). Then you could try the novice 1 HM program which will increase your volume with moderate to no speedwork.
The reason I am suggesting that order is I suspect you are itching to try speeding up and you are better off increasing speedwork OR volume (with a nod to volume being better but if you are going to want to speed up anyway....) not both at the same time.
If you have the patience to not do too much speedwork for awhile you could start in on the novice HM program which will ramp up your volume. Listen to your body and back off or repeat a week as necessary again, it isnt necessary to have an actual race scheduled.
As to whether you should do the HM in 1 month, it depends on whether you are willing to do a walk/run and not RACE the HM, just finish. If you really just want to check that off your list I would look at the novice 1 HM program, count back the # of weeks and go for it

Try Hal Higdon. He has a lot of decent, free training plans for any distance from 5K to Marathon for Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, etc.
One nice thing about the novice HM program from Higdon is that racing is included, so you could get a taste of doing some faster running in a fun setting.
Completed my First Half Marathon today. Weather was spectacular for November. Official time 2:13. Had trouble the last 2 miles. Not sure why my knees were hurting so much. Think my taper was too long. Didn't run enough the last two weeks.
thats great, good work!
Congratulations. Think you'll stick with it? Got any plans for another race?

Completed my First Half Marathon today. Weather was spectacular for November. Official time 2:13. Had trouble the last 2 miles. Not sure why my knees were hurting so much. Think my taper was too long. Didn't run enough the last two weeks.
First of all, great job, 2:13 is a great time for a first HM for someone as new to running as you. You should be proud.
As for why your knees hurt....you have been running about 20mpw, with little lifetime mileage in the bank, and it looks like a single run ever over 10 miles (at least the month showing on your log graphic). It's new, it's stretching your body somewhat, so stuff is going to hurt somewhere; it's normal. And you did pretty well if you only struggled the last 2 miles.
Now, do yourself a favor. Read through a few training plans, look at some 5Ks and 10Ks. Maybe next spring when you have some more miles in your legs, another HM. Give yourself another year or two before you let the draw of the marathon get you....it's not that special, and you're better off waiting until you get some more running in you. There is plenty of fun and improvement to be had at shorter distances before you go there.

Thanks. Definitely will continue running. Just have to give my legs a few days before I start at it again. Hope to be running again by the end of the week. Thanks for the advice regading the marathon. I want to do a marathon next, but haven't set any timetable yet. Just going to focus on my training and building my weekly mileage for now. I live in Canada, so will have to see how the winter months go. If I find I can't take running in the cold anymore, I found a local indoor track I can use. But its in a hockey arena, so not much warmer. At least no snow or ice.
That's awesome. My first half marathon (2011 Oakland Running Festival) was 2:18. My knees were killing me for 2 weeks after myself as I only trained for about 3 months prior and didn't know what the heck I was doing. LOL! Again, great job on your first half!

>General Running>What are your 2013 Goals?! (Did you achieve 2012's Goals?)
What are your Goals for 2013? Did you achieve your 2012 Goals?
My goal in 2012 was simply to hit PR's on increased weekly and monthly mileage. I have achieved that one.
Also, to be able to run a Marathon with no walking. That one was a fail (MCM), but was made up for by somehow being able to run the 31 mile entirety of a 50K race in December with no walking.
My goals for 2013? Run 2,013 Miles in 2013! (About 40 Miles a week times 52 weeks? A reachable goal if I stay healthy). It is more than double the amount of miles I have ever done in a year, but my recent weeks of running seem to indicate this is an achievable goal.
Also, to get a marathon done in the 4:15 or less range. (PB so far is over 4:45:00. Got to clean that up.) :-).
Finally: "The streak." Run all 365 days of 2013.
What are your Goals for 2013 and your 2012 Achievements?
The Plan '15 → /// "Run Hard, Live Easy." ∞
I do not know if I set any goals for 2012, but if I did, I am sure I did not achieve them with the ankle injury I sustained in August. But I am confident a full out return and I am ready to commit to running again. 18 hours of graduate level credits is a lot, but in the past four months I have put on 10+ pounds and definitely want to lose it.
My goal for 2013 is to get back in shape and resume running. I am not going to set a mile goal, but my main goal is to complete a marathon this year. It is either going to be in May or October (or perhaps both!). Looking at the Green Bay marathon or the Chicago Marathon. I'll be on an internship assignment for three months and will have one day off each week, which I could dedicate to the long run for training. But I know that I will be working Sunday's, so I'm not sure if I could run the Cellecom, but I'm sure I can get permission to miss one Sunday.
2013 Goals:

I didn't have any running related goals for the year, since I just started running in April. My only goal for this year was to lose weight and get healthy, pretty much there with 87lbs lost. Still more fitness to be had, and a lil more fat to lose, but overall I'm extremely happy with my progress.
Goals for 2013:
Stay healthy
Run 2500 miles
Sub-20 and Sub-19 5Ks (hoping to get my sub-20 tonight, if not then it'll come soon in 2013)
Sub-1:30 half
My running blog
Goals | sub-18 5k | sub-3 marathon
I feel like a slacker compared to these other posts, but I did reach my goal of running 1,000 miles in 2012. Haven't even thought about 2013 yet... I have time, right?
rather be sprinting
Nice goals!
My goal this year was to recover from surgery, injuries and illnesses, which I have done. Yay! Now, back to training. My goals for this year are:
1. Master the Snatch and Power Clean and work on my muscle imbalances.
2. PR in the 400m (reach goal, sub-60) by doing several meets this spring and summer.
3. Increase mileage to 35-45 by fall in order to train for the mile.
4. Eat sensibly and get back to 15-18% bodyfat WITHOUT cutting out food groups or being nuts. Also, don't go below 15%.
5. MOST IMPORTANT: have a better attitude even if a race doesn't go exactly as planned. Relax and trust my training instead of trying to meet impossible goals.
PRs: 5k 19:25, mile 5:38, HM 1:30:56
Lifting PRs: back squat 176 lb
2012 goals
still running in 2013 - almost there
1000 miles - not even close
2013 goals
still running in 2014
1000 miles
Shed a few pounds. I added some while not running in 2012. I guess this also means that I have to eat a LOT less sugar.

Dtothe2nd, you make me feel like a slacker, but your progress has been amazing .
My goals for 2012 were to run my first half marathon and to run 2200 km for the year. Both accomplished!
My main goal for 2013 is to run a half marathon in 2:00-2:05. I would also like to run at least 3000 km for the year.
Good stuff!
Man, I just saw Dtothe2nd's Monthly running mileage. Holy crap, looks like an upward E-curve, very impressive!
PS. See you at the "Beat the Ball 5K" as well, that is a great way to finish out 2012 I think :-)
My only running goals for 2012 was to run 3000 or more miles. I achieved that goal + 668 miles. My left heel has been in pain though from all that running. That was not one of my goals. For 2013, I hope to rid my heel of that pain. I wanted to drop down to 112 pounds in to 2012 but I only got down to 116 pounds. I find it tough to lose weight in the Winter. I'm at 124 now.
Thanks! It's been a great year. This time last year I couldn't have even imagined I'd be where I am now, it's amazing what's possible when you put your mind to it.
Good stuff!

Thanks! I guess you could say I kind of ignored the 10% rule lol But it's worked out well so far. Looking to maintain around 50mpw but finally start bringing in some speed work. See you at the race, definitely a great way to close out a fantastic year!
2012 goal: Run a 100 mile race. DONE! Ran Javelina Jundred and finished!!! YEAH
2013 goal: Streak -- run at least 1 mile every single day for 365 days.
Great job everyone!
PR at any distance (done 5k, 10k, 15k, 10mi, half, and full)
Run 1367 miles (done 1500.7mi)
Try something new (done competed in 2 duathlons)
1367 run, 1000 bike
finish a triathlon
have fun
My goal in 2012 was to complete my first marathon. I was able to complete the NJ Marathon in 4:12:30! This year my goal is to tackle the NYC Marathon.

Today I would like to share with you a recipe for a slightly different sandwich. Instead of traditional vegetables, I recommend strawberry salsa, and rather than a slice of ham – a golden grilled slice of Halloumi cheese. Only one thing is missing – a fresh and fragrant bread roll.
Halloumi is a Cypriot cheese made with sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep's, goat's and cow's milk. It is semihard and so flexible that it is excellent for frying and barbecuing, and it is great fresh too.
Ingredients (for two people)
2 fresh rolls of your choice
2 big lettuce leaves
4 slices of Halloumi cheese
2 teaspoons of butter
8 strawberries
half a chili pepper
2 tablespoons of minced peppermint leaves
¼ a red onion
2 tablespoons of chopped almond without the skin
1 teaspoon of honey
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of balsamic sauce
Start by preparing the salsa. Wash the strawberries, remove the shanks and cube them. Dice the onion and chili pepper. Mix the strawberries with the onion, chili pepper, peppermint and almonds. Spice it up with honey and lemon juice. Leave in the fridge for half an hour. Grill the slices of Halloumi cheese until they are golden. Cut the fresh rolls in half and spread them with butter. Put a lettuce leaf on each half of roll, then a slice of the Halloumi cheese, one tablespoon of salsa, another slice of cheese and two tablespoons of salsa. Spice it up with balsamic sauce. Cover with the other half of the roll. Prepare the second sandwich in the same way. Serve at once while the cheese is still hot.
Enjoy your meal!

Not sure if the subject line really reflects the situation and my question.
Sweetie made a couple of loaves of soda bread the other day, and cut the top of the loaf in order to make a pattern something like THIS. However, the pattern or cut mark didn't show on the finished loaf. I don't know much more other than she said she made the cut "pretty deep."
What might be the cause of the cut mark not showing on the finished loaf? Thanks!

How to Make Rye Sourdough Bread
I don't know what it is about bread, but it is my favorite thing to make and eat. A freshly baked loaf of bread solves a world of problems. I was lucky enough to get to be one of the main bakers when I worked at the Herbfarm. We baked Epi, Baguettes, Rolls, Pretzels and so much more.
Rye Sourdough Wood Oven Baked Bread
My fondest memory when I worked there was our field trip to the Bread Lab(wait something this cool came out of WSU, of course!) here in Washington. They grow thousands of varieties of wheat and have some pretty cool equipment to test gluten levels, protein, genetics and so on. I nerded out so hard.
What came out of that trip was this bread. Now I can't recall the exact flour we got from them, but using a basic bread and rye will do the trick. We used to get a special flour for our 100 mile menu. This was where we were limited to only serving food from 100 miles away. So finding a wheat farm that made actual hulled wheat in 100 miles was a miracle. The year before...the thing we made, was closer to hard tack.
Now if you don't have a starter, I recommend starting one! It is a great investment!
Rye Sourdough
1000 g flour (60% Bread Flour, 40% Rye)
25 g salt
75 g of honey/molasses
200 g of Rye starter
650 g of water, cold
Baker Scale (or other gram scale)
Bench Cutter
Bread Razor (you could also use one of those straight razors)
Start by taking the cold water, yeast and Honey and mix together and let sit for 10-15 minutes
I know, some of you just freaked out, cold water? Won't that kill the yeast.
Nope, the yeast just needs to re hydrate. I prefer using cold water to slow the yeast down. That way the lactobacillus in the starter has a good amount of time to start making lactic acid, and really get to flavor town!
While that is sitting, I mix the flour and the salt together(How many times I have forgotten to salt the bread).
Now mix the two products with a kneading hook for 3-5 minutes, only until thoroughly mixed but not yet at the window pane stage of kneading.
Instead, place into a bowl and set a timer for one hour. Then when that hour is up, push the dough down and fold all the corners in
Repeat this step 2-3 more times, pending on the outside temperature.
If you happen to have those cool bowls to shape round loafs! Awesome, use them. I would break the boules into 3 balls of about 333 grams
If not then just put the dough in the fridge and do the steps below the next day.
Once you have bouled the bread, can put it into the fridge and let it sit over night
Again, this lets the bacteria, really get to work(misconception is the yeast adds the sour flavor, nope, think yogurt!)
Now on the next day, heat up whatever form of oven you plan to use. We used a brick oven but if you just have a normal oven, that is fine. Crank it to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you have not bouled your bread yet, go back and watch the video and break the dough down into three balls of abut 333 grams. Then place the balls on a lightly greased sheet pan. Let sit for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
If you have used the fancy bowls then turn the the bread out on a lightly greased sheet pan, without the bowl and let temper for 15-30 minutes.
If your oven is steam injected, build up a good blast of steam.
If not, throw in a few ice cubes and close the door or put a bath of hot water inside.
The steam is what creates the sexy crust!
Let it build up for a few minutes!
Right before you put the bread into the oven use a bread razor to slice the top of the bread.
Place the dough balls into the oven and douse with another blast of steam or ice and close the oven.
Let them bake for 13 minutes at 450 degrees. Then turn the loaves and bake for another 10 minutes.
Remove when the crust is as dark as you want and the internal temperature exceeds 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
Now pull out and make sure to let cool off of the sheet pan with room to breath underneath. You don't want your crust steaming!
Now here is the hardest part, wait at least 20 minutes before getting into the bread. Also, cutting into bread to early really seems to come out poorly. I would rip the bread until 1-2 hours has passed.
Now serve it with your favorite butter, goat butter or whipped duck fat!

Hi, I have just discovered and registered on this site. My main cooking and baking concern is that I have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease and haven't been able to eat gluten. BUT I have discovered an exception. When I have visited Continental Europe such as Spain and Russia, I have been able to eat their bread and have had no negative repercussions. Then when I try eating bread in Great Britain and North America I have become sick. My research on the Web has not provided any explanations although I believe the EU has banned GMO grains. I was recently gifted panetonne from a Toronto restaurant called Sud Forno that uses Italian flour and I was able to safely eat it. Another bakery called Forno Cultura advertises that it uses European flour. So I am going to approach them to see if I can buy their flour in bulk. I will let you know how it goes.

How the Government Shutdown Typifies the Real Problems With Our Country
First and foremost, this is my opinion. Feel free to disagree or agree, that's your right.
You know what else is your right? Well, you have the right to elect lawmakers who are sworn to have your best interests in mind when they head to Washington. The problem with this government shutdown is that it's simply not in anyone's best interest.

The Children's IQ Network® is a health information exchange specifically designed for pediatrics. Healthcare delivery for children is unique given the significant impact of variation in patient size, developmental age, metabolism, and family structure on both health and illness. The Children's IQ Network links the essential health information, such as physician visits, medications, allergies, problems, laboratory results, and immunization histories for children throughout the region.
Participation is available on a voluntary basis to physicians who care for children in Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Children's National Medical Center is partnering with community pediatric practitioners and eClinicalWorks as the ambulatory electronic medical record (EMR) vendor. Community pediatric providers who join the Children's IQ Network agree to share essential healthcare data within the larger region and participate in quality initiatives. Participating providers in turn receive a significant subsidization to the costs of a state-of-the-art highly-rated EMR to replace paper records and improve healthcare delivery.
Costs for EMRs are significantly reduced through participation in the Children's IQ Network. In additional to a sizable group discount, a portion of the EMR is subsidized by Children's National. Practices remain responsible for the costs of practice management systems and office hardware. Providers who join the Children's IQ Network may be eligible for additional incentives through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
In addition, with input from community pediatricians, a preferred hardware vendor has been selected. Through a rigorous negotiation process significant discounts and preferred service arrangements are available. For more information, contact Caroline Brozak, CIQN Clinician Liaison, 202-476-4409 or email at email@example.com.
The EMR Functionality allows the practicing physician to immediately access patient records electronically for improved care monitoring management; improve communication with specialty providers; and securely exchange essential health care data with other providers. With an EMR the documentation process allows the provider to achieve document legibility, elimination in redundancy, completeness and compliance in a rapid timeframe. Patient histories do not have to be solicited multiple times, and the patient's visit is streamlined. Physician practices are able to deliver better continuity and coordination of patient care, and an improved bottom line while enhancing quality healthcare and outcomes for children around the region.
Children's IQ Network pediatric practice was featured on NBC News: This segment features the first Children's IQ Network practice to go live as well as Children's National physicians, and highlights the benefits of EMRs.
Data Sharing for Participating Practices will include most essential information such as visit history, medications, allergies, immunizations, growth data, and lab results, so that other providers in the region may have access to this important information for care delivery. In addition, physicians will have the opportunity to be involved in EMR design enhancements, local and regional quality initiatives, research projects, important educational content, links to relevant pediatric sites, robust analytics and reporting and pediatric pay-for performance efforts. Security and privacy are of the utmost concern. Health data is stored in a remote hosted secure facility. Patient health information is protected under full Health Insurance and Portability Standards. Patients have the option of "opting out" of data sharing. This hub will be active in the future and will be the basis for data exchange.
Participation in Children's IQ Network is open to any pediatric practice who is a Children's National Health Network (CNHN) member. For more information on how to participate or in joining CNHN, contact Caroline Brozak, CIQN Clinician Liaison, or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Real Hero Calls His Actions "Just Normal Behavior"
Dear Engaged Bystander: Abraham Toure is being called a hero by local police for helping a rape victim who screamed for help. He says, he is not a hero, what he did is "just normal human behavior… I was thinking I could only imagine how scared this girl must be. I was just thinking, 'What can I do to help her?'"
You can now read a number of articles that describe the full details of the story. But what is remarkable is how many things this young man did right. Here is just a short list:
He heard some screams and then the sound of someone being punched from a park while walking by. He did not race into a dark area by himself, but instead immediately called 911 for help.
When he realized the battery on his cell phone was low, he did not risk losing any chance to reach the police… he ran to get help. He knocked on a few doors until he found someone home who could call 911 and stay on the line until the police arrived.
When he got some help, he went back to the edge of the park and started to yell. He did not expose himself to danger but he let the attacker know that someone was there and someone was watching.
When a young woman emerged without pants or shoes, he went to her and carried her to safety.
In each case he found help. In each case he ensured his own safety. And he did not give up on the unknown girl he heard screaming from the bushes. The story's ending? The police arrived and found the alleged rapist trying to drive away and was able to easily arrest him.
Thank you Abraham Toure!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/4/2013 (1599 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BIG RELEASE: 42 (April 12)
THE BIG PICTURE: No, it's not the new Scary Movie - also premiering this week. (Though it certainly feels like that franchise has hit 42). 42 tells the tale of baseball legend Jackie Robinson and his historic racial breakthrough into America's favourite pastime. Harrison Ford plays Brooklyn Dodgers team executive Branch Rickey, who made history -- and a lot of enemies -- with the signing. Chadwick Boseman steps up to the plate to inhabit Jackie's larger than life persona.
FORECAST: This is a baseball story that screams for big screen treatment. What took Hollywood so long? (Safe to say, this film would have been made a lot sooner if Jackie Robinson's biography included a friendship with an Autobot, a G.I. Joe or a member of The Avengers). I have a suggestion for the next Hollywood baseball film: 61 (alternate title: Field of Testosterone Dreams). It will tell the infamous story of Sammy Sosa (played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) and Mark McGwire (played by Channing Tatum). Jackie broke the race barrier. They broke the morality barrier in their 1998 steroid fuelled race to top Roger Maris's long-standing home-run record of 61.
HONOURABLE MENTION: Scary Movie 5. On the negative side, there's another scary movie. On the positive side, it's nice to know the troubled trio of Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Tisdale, Heather Locklear and Charlie Sheen can still find big-screen work. No, I'm not kidding. They're all in the cast. This Scary Movie gets its laughs at the expense of the Paranormal Activity franchise and, unintentionally, the state of a few movie careers.
BIG EVENT: MTV Movie Awards (MTV, April 14, 9 p.m.
BIG PICTURE: The MTV Movie Awards deserve a lot of credit for not taking themselves too seriously -- unlike their dull, pretentious older brother Oscar. This year's nominations include one career plateau: Taylor Lautner for Best Shirtless Performance in the The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2. With the end of the series, this will likely be Lautner's last award nomination for... ANYTHING. EVER. The night also features one comical mismatch: The Hulk and Bilbo Baggins are among the contenders for Best Hero. "Hulk smash puny, puny, puny, puny human!"
FORECAST: Relax. Enjoy. Take a load off. Unlike the Academy Awards, you don't need to watch "because you feel like you have to" and then fall asleep on the couch somewhere around the award for Best Sound Editing (i.e. 9 p.m.). To give credit where it's due, it's a rare year when two of the MTV Movie of the Year nominees (Django Unchained and Silver Linings Playbook) were also on the Oscar shortlist. Don't expect Oscar 2014 to return the favour by giving G.I. Joe: Retaliation a Best Picture nod.
HONOURABLE MENTION: The Borgias (April 14, Bravo, 9 p.m. Sure, the Vatican is beset by sex scandals, in-fighting and fear of joining the 21st (or even the 20th) Century, but at least they didn't elect THIS GUY to be the new Pope. The masterful Jeremy Irons returns as Pope Alexander -- the Tony Soprano of Popes -- as he clings on to power after a failed assassination attempt. His scheming, dangerous family is -- as always -- at his side. The new season features incest, violence and a church on the cusp of war. My prediction? Montreal's Francois Arnaud and Holliday Grainger will steal this season as troubled, ill-fated siblings Cesare and Lucrezia Borgias.
BIG RELEASE ON APRIL 9: British Sea Power (Machineries of Joy)
BIG PICTURE: These English indie rockers have always reveled in being eccentric, outlandish and over the top. Machineries of Joy doesn't live up to their self-titled breakthrough, but it should offer a touch of joy to those music fans interested in more than Billboard rock. The album borrows its title from a Ray Bradbury story collection -- not the first time these Brighton lads have been influenced by the works of the sci-fi and horror guru. (And there are far worse influences. I'm pretty sure Ke$ha's songwriting is inspired by the litter she finds in the alleyways where she wakes up each morning.)
FORECAST: All aboard. A musical ship worth setting sail on -- at least for a trip or two.
HONOURABLE MENTION: Molly Ringwald (Except... Sometimes). No, you're not reading this wrong. John Hughes 1980s movie muse is releasing her debut album of jazz standards. Judd Nelson's long-anticipated (at least by me) hip hop debut can't be far off. I'm also hoping Emilio Estevez forms a middle-aged boy band (brother Charlie is the obvious candidate for the standard "bad boy" of the bunch).
'You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows,' but these days, a guide through the seemingly endless flurry of pop culture offerings is just what we need. With that in mind, here is what's on the radar screen in TV, music and film for the coming week.

TWO former Whites stars enjoyed mixed fortunes in the dads' race at their children's school sports days.
Miracle man Fabrice Muamba showed he has still got it, racing to victory at the Ryleys school in Cheshire.
His wife, Shauna Muama posted a picture on Twitter.
She said: "I had to post this. Fabrice won the dads' race at the Ryleys sports day. They all look so focused. It's just a race, dads!"
Meanwhile, former Wanderers captain Kevin Davies, still plying his trade for Preston North End, was not allowed to take part in a similar event at his own children's school.
The Whites legend tweeted a picture of the other dads racing.
He said: "I wasn't allowed to play! My sunglasses fell off I was laughing so much ... #competitivedads."

Tom Brady will see an old friend, former backup Matt Cassel, on the other side, starting for the Vikings. But one of New England's biggest worries will be slowing down wideout Cordarrelle Patterson, who had a huge game rushing and receiving at St. Louis.
"He's definitely a tremendous athlete," linebacker Dont'a Hightower said of Patterson. "You don't see many guys who can do that, come out and play receiver and then actually line up in the backfield and run the ball like a running back."
Running back Adrian Peterson was indicted in Texas for using a branch to spank one of his sons and the Vikings promptly benched him for their game Sunday.

New York -- Aeropostale Inc. reported an unexpected loss for its fourth quarter, hurt by declining same-store sales and store asset impairment charges. The teen apparel chain also forecast a loss for the current quarter, citing markdowns and a weak economy.
"We anticipate a challenging first quarter as a result of expected margin pressures from holiday carryover inventory, and the impact of a weak macroeconomic environment," said Aeropostale CEO Thomas Johnson.
For the 14 weeks ended Feb. 2, Aeropostale reported a net loss of $671,000, compared with a profit of $26.1 million for the year-earlier period, which included one less week.
Revenue dropped 1% to $797.7 million. Same-store sales, including e-commerce revenue, fell 8%.
Looking ahead, in fiscal 2013, the retailer plans to open approximately 14 Aeropostale stores, approximately 60 P.S. from Aeropostale stores, remodel approximately 30 stores, and close approximately 15 to 20 Aeropostale stores. The company expects to invest approximately $89.0 million in its store growth and certain information technology, compared to approximately $72.3 million in fiscal 2012.
Net sales for fiscal 2012 increased 2% to $2.386 billion, from $2.342 billion in the year ago period. Fiscal 2012 comparable sales, including the e-commerce channel, decreased 2% compared to an 8% decrease for the comparable 53-week period of the prior year. Fiscal 2012 comparable store sales, excluding the e-commerce channel, decreased 4%, compared to a decrease of 9% for the comparable 53-week period of the prior year.

Researchers "Change the Laws of Physics" With Sub-Absolute Zero Quantum Gas

Lasers, magnetic fields coax lattice-arranged potassium gas into a bizarre state
Scientists have demonstrated a feat that your physics teacher may have told you was impossible -- they have created a material with a temperature below absolute zero. And the world below absolute zero is an unusual place indeed.
I. It's a Very, Very Mad World
Atoms float upwards, ignoring gravity. In a phenomenon that theoretical physicists believe mimic "dark energy", the atoms even stabilize in conditions that would normally crush inwards. It's as if gravity itself is being overridden and energetic arrangements that would normally create instability, instead stabilize. In short, we've entered the Twilight Zone of particle physics.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Wolfgang Ketterle
was a pioneer in the field of negative absolute temperatures. He remarks, "[With negative absolute temperatures it is] as though you can stand a pyramid on its head and not worry about it toppling over."
The MIT professor in a
new interview
lauds the new work by
Ulrich Schneider
of Munich, Germany's
Ludwig Maximilian University
and colleagues. In the work Professor Schneider demonstrates the first-ever peer-reviewed instance of a negative absolute temperature material breaking the absolute zero behavior.
The work began with Professor Schneider creating a peculiar quantum gas, using lasers and magnets. Composed of potassium atoms the gas was arranged into a lattice structure. A radical adjustment in the magnetic fields switches the atoms from the lowest energy state possible to the highest energy state possible.
The quantum gas is composed of potassium atoms. [Image Source: MaterialScientist]
Here is where the special behavior takes hold.
Normally the stabilizing repulsion of the original configuration would be replaced with an immense attraction, causing the system to collapse and implode. But thanks to the trapping lasers, the lattice instead remains stable in the new super-energized state. Comments Professor Schneider, "This suddenly shifts the atoms from their most stable, lowest-energy state to the highest possible energy state, before they can react. It's like walking through a valley, then instantly finding yourself on the mountain peak."
The result is a gas that by the formal definition of the Kelvin scale is a few billionths of a degree Kelvin below absolute zero (0 K).
II. Negative Absolute Temperatures? That's Really Cold, Right?
But don't be confused. The below-absolute-zero system is not cold. It is in fact very, very hot -- hotter than any positive Kelvin system. In cooler positive temperature systems, the numbers of particles in low-energy states outnumber those in high-energy states, giving rise to the formal quantum mechanics definition of temperature. Typically entropy pushes atoms to occupy lower energy states, on average.
Lord Kelvin's temperature scale is formally based on probability, not necessarily heat.
[Image Source: Unknown]
But in certain specialized quantum mechanical systems, the entropy actually decreases as the system energy (and "heat") increase, giving rise to a negative quantum temperature.
In other words, to understand this wild breakthrough, you must abandon your traditional notions of negative being cold and positive being hot and think in quantum terms. This isn't your high school physics teacher's negative temperature. It's a bizarre exercise in inverted entropy.
Could such a state be possible for the faster-than-expected expansion of the universe (a phenomena cosmologist attribute to
so-called "dark energy"
, a poorly understood mechanism)? Professor Schneider argues the idea is worth exploring. He comments, "It's interesting that this weird feature pops up in the Universe and also in the lab. This may be something that cosmologists should look at more closely."
Negative temperature materials could be a boon to both
theoretical particle physics
quantum computing
. But much work needs to be done to understand their bizarre new spin on physics.
The work by Prof. Schneider and his colleagues was
in the highly prestigious peer-reviewed journal
And if that makes your brain hurt, take a break and read the classic college urban legend of a physic professor's exam question of whether hell is exothermic or endothermic and his student's
epic response
"Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?... So why the f*** doesn't it do that?" -- Steve Jobs

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
One of the big problems with the loci mnemonic system is that you cannot retrieve an item directly from the middle of the list. You usually have to start at one end of the list and work your way in. The following trick will help you quickly jump through a long list.
You are going to attach numerical waypoints to specific locations in your loci system. For example, you could associate a five-dollar bill to the fifth location and your ten toes to the tenth location. When you make your associations you will need to incorporate all three items into one visualization.
For example, if your fifth location is the bathroom sink, and the fifth errand you are trying to remember is to pick up the dry cleaning, you could picture yourself washing a five-dollar bill in the sink. Linking all three items together will allow you to jump directly to that location in your list. If you want to jump to the 12th item, simply think of the association attached to your ten toes. Then hop two locations up the chain.

The Super Bowl is an iconic game and the biggest advertising event of the year. And this year, the Milk Processor Education Program pulled out all of the stops to produce a Hollywood-esque commercial packed full of special effects, action and milk.
The "got milk?" ad combined professional wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson with plenty of special effects and humor to win over the millions of people watching the big game.
According to Forbes, the "got milk?" commercial was at one point the top-ranked Super Bowl ad with a score of 644, as rated by Ace Matrix. That was up to and including halftime. But, in the second half, a tear-jerker won over the hearts of audiences: Budweiser's "Brotherhood" Clydesdale commercial ended up in the top spot.
Despite losing its top-ranked spot, "got milk?'"still fared well, beating out many other popular products, such as Doritos, Hyundai, Audio and Go Daddy. Read more here.
Not everyone agrees with Ace Matrix's ratings.
One writer for Yahoo! Sports didn't even consider the "got milk?" worthy of a mention while USA Today's Ad Meter ranked it in the middle of the pack.

Photographs of old San Diego 1977-2011
de Kevin Perttula
Acerca del libro
This stylish book touches upon a wide variety of subject matter pertaining
to things which I captured while living in San Diego between early 1978 and early 1985. Highlights of the first half of this book include 3 double page vistas of the Gaslamp Quarter in 1978 before redevelopment:
1. Looking northwest from 5th and G Street, standing on the southeast corner where Urban Outfitters store is today, featuring the west side of 5th street, where today many dine on fine cuisine.
2. Looking ne from the sw corner of 5th and F street, featuring the east side of 5th street on that block taken the same day as the previously mentioned photo.
3. Peering into the heart of Horton Plaza in 1979 E street facing toward 4th street, Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" is the movie featured on the Plaza Theaters marquee. It also features 4 sailors on leave, several go-go dance clubs, a guy making a phone call from a pay phone, a guy who looks like he's about to grab girl, and what could be construed as a furtive transaction.
This book really brings back the character of the era. I'm confident you'll find them fascinating. The last half of the book is loaded with pictures of the natural beauty of the San Diego area and some of it's local events such as Thunder boat racing on Mission Bay (pink Circus Circus Hotel Casino Las Vegas sponsored boat being chased by pink CC helicopter going full-throttle over 200 mph! Look at that rooster tail!)
Absolutely Iconic paparazzi style shot of Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Mgr. Tony Smith of Genesis (all three inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2011), coming out of a Tower Records store in April 1978.
There is also a 1986 photo of John McEnroe, multiple winner of the Wimbledon Mens Singles championship, captured in an absolute effortless moment during the finals match, before ultimately defeating Stefan Edberg during L A Tennis Open Action.
There are many gorgeous seascapes and sunsets included as well. This book you'll love!

VMware was a busy company in 2011. Instead of resting on its laurels, the currently crowned virtualization technology leader continued to be a mover and a shaker -- although not everything went its way.
If there's any doubt VMware continued its virtualization dominance this year, a quick look at their financials puts the issue to rest. According to the third-quarter report in October, VMware's total revenue for the quarter was $942 million, up 32 percent from a year earlier. That's a significant accomplishment in a down economy and with companies like Citrix, Microsoft, and Red Hat gunning to take away virtualization market share.
[ Also on InfoWorld.com: Read about how the virtualization blogosphere launched a virtual "Occupy VMware" campaign. | Learn how VMware may be losing dominance in the server virtualization market. | Keep up on virtualization by signing up for InfoWorld's Virtualization newsletter. ]
So how did VMware do it? What moves helped or hurt the company during 2011? And which decisions were a bit cloudy one way or the other?
Let's start with the good.
The launch of vSphere 5
vSphere 5 was a major release for VMware, updating the flagship server virtualization platform with more than 200 new features and improvements over 4.x and keeping VMware ahead of the growing and improving competition from Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as from newcomers Red Hat and Oracle.
VMware's goal for quite some time has been to enable customers to become 100 percent virtualized, and vSphere 5 removed the obstacles that keep people from virtualizing mission-critical applications. One such advance is being able to create monster-sized VMs with 32-way processors, up to 1TB of memory, and increased I/O capabilities. VMware also took things to a new level with advancements in Storage DRS and storage intelligence, an improved VMFS file system, and a number of updates to staple features such as vMotion, Storage vMotion, and virtual networking.
For the most part, VMware has scored very well in the "bugs" category. Beyond all the new features, the fact that there were no show-stopping bugs that required a quick service pack says a lot about the workmanship that went into vSphere 5's development and testing.
Diving deeper into the management stack
I'm sure the executive team at VMware is tired of hearing pundits talk about the hypervisor as commodity. But in all honesty, isn't it? VMware has started giving away its once-upon-a-time gravy train hypervisor in the form of ESXi. In the early days of VMware (circa early 2000s), that's what you bought, VMware ESX Server! It wasn't until VMware VI3 and vSphere that they included any sort of real application or management stack around the hypervisor. In 2011 VMware understood that the management stack would be its virtual bread and butter, and at VMworld 2011 the company's management strategy finally became clear to the rest of the world.
Rather than leave operations monitoring, capacity management, and configuration management to the Big 4 or to its own third-party ecosystem, VMware has begun competing with these companies to become the de facto standard management software solution for a VMware environment. For VMware, the strategy is about automation and delivery of application service levels. We need only to watch products like vCenter Operations as they advance to see where VMware plans on taking the market.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A weak front moves through Central Florida Wednesday morning, bringing some rain showers and cooler temperatures.
"By late morning, the rain ends and winds kick up," said Local 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges, who added that rain chances won't return until next week.
Gusts near 30 miles per hour, coupled with dry conditions despite the morning rain, lead to a high fire danger into the weekend. For the last week, brush fires have burned across Central Florida, scorching thousands of acres and destroying more than two dozen structures, including 10 homes in Marion County.
Highs on Wednesday will reach 67 degrees in Orlando, and overnight lows will cool into the 30s for parts of the region.
Thursday's high will be 70 degrees, and a warmup then follows into the weekend.
Temperatures will in the mid- and upper 70s on Saturday and Sunday.

WHEN Bury last had two matches called off in a week, I spoke about the affect it will have had on the players – leaving them flat and low after building up to what would have been massive matches at the bottom of the League Two table.
That still stands following the late postponements at Torquay United last Saturday and at Mansfield on Tuesday.
But my biggest concern in all of this is actually the fans.
Players are players – they will get over it and go again on Saturday, when Bury are due to host another fellow struggler in Bristol Rovers.
The club won't be out of pocket either, with any expenses repaid by the host clubs.
I really feel for all of the supporters who made it such a long way down to the Devon coast, only for the game to be postponed a matter of hours before kick-off.
Times are tight and they are expected to fork out a lot of money to follow their team.
So, for me, two things need to happen.
As in Saturday's case, when there are doubts about a game in advance and fans face a long trip, I think the decision has to be made the day before.
It seems to be happening more and more that games are being called off at the last minute. It happened to Morecambe fans at Exeter the other week and Accrington fans at Portsmouth.
I realise sometimes these things are unavoidable – you can't control the weather.
But I also believe the Football League should set up a central fund to help fans out in extreme cases, as we saw with Bury supporters in Torquay over the weekend.
Fans, by their very definition, are fanatical and many of those who made the trip down to Devon will end up going again to the rearranged match.
Some just won't be able to afford it though and I think the league should support them with some money towards their travel expenses.
I know David Flitcroft and his players are grateful of their continued support and it looks like they are going to need it during what is now going to be a very busy run-in.
Before the postponements, Bury were facing a run of four games against sides struggling with them at the bottom of League Two – Torquay and Mansfield followed by Bristol Rovers on Saturday and Accrington Stanley next Tuesday.
Flickers won't want too many of these important games to pile up at the business end of the season, when the pressure will be ramped up.
But if that is to happen, then that is when the Shakers' loyal away following are sure to come into their own.
I just wish the Football League would treat them with a little more respect.

"In this Instagram world, Maestro keeps us looking picture-perfect"; just a drop of Armani's new foundation "gives an airbrushed look to skin" and "stays in place all day long."
"A revolution! One single drop and you have sublime skin. Applying it is almost like a magic trick: the second it touches the skin, it transforms the texture into a velvety finish that reflects light, creating a perfect canvas. And, it stays in place perfectly all day." — Melanie Frappa, Quebec Beauty Editor-In-Chief
