Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now

Portland, OR
Restaurants in Portland, OR
From traditional cuisine to wildly creative menus, plus large quantities of the organic, farm-to-table fare that's become synonymous with the city, Portland restaurants offer eclectic dining opportunities as well as modern twists on traditional dishes, sure to satisfy even the most discerning foodies. At Pok Pok, James Beard Award-winning chef Andy Ricker serves up a fusion menu inspired by classic Thai cuisine and served in a trendy, low-key environment. Locals' favorites include Vietnamese chicken wings, boar collar, and Thai noodle soups. Castagna, on Hawthorne Boulevard, takes the farm-to-table ethos very seriously: Chef Justin Woodward forages greens and flowers from Portland's surrounding woods himself, and serves them up in an molecular style that will blow the lid off your classic salad. Just try not to Instagram each course of Woodward's inspired tasting menu.
For a dash of rustic-chic, visit Ned Ludd, a Portland restaurant where everything is cooked in a wood-fired oven, including the salads. Chef Jason French's menu includes whole roasted trout, pork noodles made entirely from pork fat, and a variety of pizzas, all cooked in the wood oven, of course. Portland's favorite meal – brunch – gets a makeover at Tasty 'N Sons, with a massive family-style menu comprising dishes from around globe. Some of this Portland hotspot's best dishes include shakshuka with merguez sausage, steak and eggs with corncakes, spaghetti carbornara, grilled lamb chops, and polenta and sausage ragu.
This convivial space along dapper Nob Hill's 21st Avenue restaurant row draws a mix of young professionals and beer aficionados enticed by the extensive selection of Belgian beers—from potent tripels to fruity lambics to a nice range of Trappist brews.
Lucy Brennan opened the Mint, a 40-seat Latin and Mediterranean-tinged bistro, in 2001 in the city's historic Frederick Torgler Building and derived its name from the Greek symbol for hospitality.
This glass, steel, and wood-framed restaurant leaves little doubt about its intentions: the logo is a pizza peel, and they feature a wood-fired oven. The interior contains exposed wood rafters, communal and intimate seating, and black-and-white photos of the old country.
Tommy Habetz and Nick Wood debuted their humble, market-driven sandwich shop in Southeast Portland in late 2008 and spawned a downtown location in mid-2011. The co-chefs change their blackboard menu daily, but there are some standbys like the Italian cured meat sandwich.
Sangria and tapas rendezvous
The extensive menu at this upscale Peruvian spot presents some tough decisions. The small-plate selection is awfully tempting, with choices like grilled octopus kebabs with a caper-chimichurri sauce, or prawn-mango-passion-fruit ceviche.
This establishment in north Portland has been operating in one form or another for over eight decades. Larry and Carla White have been in charge for more than 25 years, building on the prior owner's commitment to tiki.
Since 2003, Oregonians have lined up around the block to get into downtown Portland's funky Voodoo Doughnut, where toppings include Cap'n Crunch cereal, maple-glazed bacon, and Tang. The shop's weddings are equally unconventional.
Located in Northwest Portland, Justa Pasta Co. has been producing pasta in its current location since 1998. Roland Carfagno sells six pasta varieties, such as tagliatelle, whole wheat rigatoni, and spinach linguine, each pairable with sauces like putanesca, marinara, and alfredo.
Olympic Provisions is a salumeria, deli, restaurant, and bar that opened in 2009. The Southeast branch, located in a former warehouse, prepares soups, salads, and sandwiches at lunch.

60% Off Hydrangeas! 50% Off All Other Trees, Shrubs, & Perennials | Ends Tonight!
The forsythia plant is not a high maintenance plant. Forsythia care should begin with the growing conditions. They are not real fussy about soils or soil types. Forsythia will perform best when given optimum conditions.
Forsythia care should start with a well-drained soil. The addition of peat moss, composted manure, or garden compost to the existing soil will get the plant off to a good healthy start.
Correct forsythia care allows larger varieties sufficient space to grow.
Ample space allows for the beauty of the natural cascading shape of a specimen-sized plant. Correct forsythia care should be taken to place them in full sun.
Forsythias will bloom best in full sun, but may be planted in light shade.
There's not that much more to know about forsythia care, since it's virtually carefree. You can force the branches in late wither and then root the cuttings.
Branches will root if they touch the ground. Correct forsythia care includes supplemental water during droughts and mulching in the winter.
It grows cane directly from the root crown. Every few years, it doesn't hurt to take out some of the bigger, older wood so that there's plenty of room for fresh growth.
Hedge clipping is not recommended.
Forsythia care would also include a benefit from a light annual feeding of an all-purpose garden fertilizer, applied in mid-February through mid-May.

ISTANBUL — Those predicting that the United States will fall short of a world championship are focusing on the back of the jerseys.
United States always expected to win big at worlds
They no longer include names such as BRYANT or JAMES.
Those expecting the Americans to win anyway do so because of what's still on the front.
"I think there is a certain element that does persist that because we have USA on our jersey, that's good enough," USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said. "And as the world competition has improved, it gets very challenging, especially with a young, inexperienced group of guys, regardless of how much talent we have.
"Personally, I'd rather be hunted like that than the opposite."
Colangelo and coach Mike Krzyzewski say they are satisfied with what they've seen from the undefeated Americans, who face Angola in an elimination game Monday in the round of 16.
But fans and media in Turkey seem to expect a higher level, one reachable by the star-studded Olympic gold medalists of two years ago but maybe not by a young team that hasn't been together nearly as long.
They expect the U.S. not only to win the tournament, but also every game and perhaps even every quarter along the way. Krzyzewski always faces similar expectations at Duke, where he says "people think we should win every game and not let anyone score."
"I don't want that to be what this team feels," he said, allowing he'd be OK with any criticisms if he'd brought back the team from Beijing.
"If we had all the main guys here, you should nitpick anything, because that's the world they live in. They always have to (play well)," Krzyzewski said. "We have a young group. I think our guys have done great and part of it, this is the first experience.
"I think they've been terrific and now they get a chance to do something that will be a momentous thing in their careers if they can, in the next eight days, if they can get it done. I would like for them to be youthfully enthusiastic and try to accomplish something instead of trying to be perfect or whatever. Being perfect is about those other guys."
The Americans blew out their first two opponents, then needed a miss at the buzzer by Brazil's Leandro Barbosa to eke out a 70-68 victory. They closed group play with easy wins over Iran and Tunisia, but neither was a start-to-finish rout. The U.S. led the winless African champions by just four points early in the third quarter.

Holiday Parties for the Ambitiously Lazy
Anchovy toasts, rosemary simple syrup, and more low-maintenance saviors.
Everyone likes the idea of having a holiday party, but the reality can be … stressful. And expensive. And chaotic, especially if your digs are more modest than your hosting ambitions.

We don't love the term "party hacks," but that's the idea: surprising uses for everyday items and ingredients that can make entertaining just a little bit easier. Start saving your bread clips now.

Traci later went on to attend Rasmussen Business College, where she received a business degree and was currently working on her master's degree there. For the past eight years, she was employed at Red Wing Shoe Company.
Traveling was one of Traci's loves, especially exploring New York City and the East Coast. She also enjoyed playing softball and was a part of the Prairie Island Leagues. Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her dear friends and family.
Traci is survived by her parents, Kevin and Sue Hardy of Red Wing; brothers, Syd (Jamey) Hardy of Hager City, Wis., and Nick Hardy of Jamestown, N.D.; nephews, Spencer and Cullen Hardy; niece, Madalyn Hardy; boyfriend, Trent Wentlandt of Esdaile, Wis.; and many other family members and friends.
She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Syd and Skip Hanson; paternal grandparents, Red and Fran Galvin and "Grandma Lucy" and "Grandpa Jesse" Moore.
Memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 30, at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, with Reverend Kristen Schlauderaff officiating. Burial will be at Oakwood Cemetery. Visitation will be 4 p.m to 7 p.m. Wednesday, at Mahn Family Funeral Home, Bodelson-Mahn Chapel in Red Wing, and for one hour prior to the service at the church.

The Optimist
What's Inside this Collection.
The Optimist, the school newspaper of Abilene Christian College, was first published in August, 1912 as a relatively simple monthly newsletter. It has been continually published since then, and starting with Volume 7, and ending with Volume 68, it was published weekly. Volume 69 and following have been published twice-weekly. With only a few exceptions, publication ceased during the summer months. Each volume covers one school year: publication begins with the start of the Fall semester (generally the end of August) and ends with the end of the Spring semester (generally the beginning of May.) Beginning in the spring of 2002, the Optimist has also published issues online at http://www.acuoptimist.com.
In Jan. 1929, a fire in Abilene Christian College's first Administration building destroyed the majority of the institution's archives. Because of this disaster, most issues of The Optimist prior to this event are water and/or smoke damaged, and almost all issues prior to Volume 7 are missing (save one issue each of Vols. 1, 2, and 6, and two issues of Vol. 4.)
Nearly all the material in The Optimist comes from students. For this reason, it is not only valuable for data it contains regarding school history, but also offers insight into the minds of its contemporary students. Additionally, the advertisements found throughout the paper offer historical data on Abilene's commercial community and what that community expects to be attractive to students. The closest publication date to April 1st is generally an April Fool's Edition (usually called The Pessimist).
As with most newspapers, the quality of paper used has been low and thus issues prior to c. 1950 are fragile and often are already in poor condition. Additionally, many issues have been bound in the past and have holes in the left side; the first and last pages of many of these bound volumes were glued directly to the binding and were damaged during disbinding, or are obscured by part of the binding remaining attached to the page. Some volumes have not been disbound and thus the inside portion of each page is obscured by the binding.

Oliver Mtukudzi and The Black Spirits
Tue, Jan 28 -
Doors open at 6:00 PM each night.
Wed, Jan 29, 2014
First sets begin at 7:30 PM, and second sets (when applicable) begin at 9:30 PM (doors: 9:15 PM).
Pacific Jazz Institute at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley presents Afropop Hall of Fame inductee, Zimbabwean singer and musician Oliver Mtukudzi touring with The Black Spirits in support of his newest release, Sarawoga. Band members are Oliver Mtukudzi (main vocals/acoustic guitar), Tendai Samson Mataure (drums), Enock Piroro (backing vocals/bass), Alice Muringayi (backing vocals), and TBA. Set times on Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30pm. Doors open at 5:30pm.
artist info
Dedicated to Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi's late son, Sam Mtukudzi, who passed away in 2012, the album Sarawoga (U.S. release: May 21, 2013), starts off with a haunting acapella track entitled "Sarawoga," which means "Left Alone." The next couple of tracks are reminders that time is not ours to waste and serve as an ode to a young life tragically taken away. With over five dozen albums to his name, the venerable artist proves with Sarawoga that he still has plenty to say. With a career that spans the advent of both Afropop and the global love affair with African roots music, Tuku's quicksilver guitar work, keen ear for melody, and evocative voice have earned him intense adulation at home. His organic, savvy mix of traditional ways, pan-African influences, and cosmopolitan pop forms became widely known as Tuku Music. It has made Tuku a household name across Southern Africa, as well as across Europe and North America, thanks in part to major releases of his work in the 1990s and 2000s.
In the period leading to Zimbabwe's 1980 independence, Oliver's music was a mix of the revolutionary jam songs with undertones targeting the repressive Rhodesian regime. Yet he also composed the day-to-day social context music about life and the essence of ubantu (humanity). "Before independence, it was the fight against the Rhodesian regime. My music then spoke against oppression and the repressive regime and how we were suffering at the hands of the regime. I left school and for three years I couldn't find a job, yet I was one of the few guys among my peers with a fine secondary education. But I couldn't get a job because I was black. My music then helped people identify themselves…who we were and what we wanted to be."
In all his music in pre-independence, Oliver never took on the Rhodesian regime head-on, preferring the power of metaphor to communicate meaning. "I wasn't afraid of anyone. The beauty of the Shona language [the majority vernacular language in Zimbabwe] is that it is endowed with all those rich idioms and metaphor… and the beauty of art is that you can use the power of language to craft particular meaning without necessarily giving it away. So, I used the beauty of Shona to communicate in my own way and people got the message. To this day, Oliver incorporates the aspect of self-discipline and tolerance in his repertoires. He is emotional about the socio-cultural norms and principles that govern the Shona traditional way of life, particularly the respect for the next person.

Consolidation now
A couple of months ago we discussed the "restructuring" of relatively large and modern Chinese manufacturer Deruibao Tire.

The Pirelli/ChemChina story will no-doubt garner more attention as the very complex outworkings of the deal are walked out, but what remains of interest is the way in which both the local Chinese market and the global industry are engaged in a period of both parallel and inter-connected consolidation.

The drama has ended!!! Yaya Toure re-signs with Manchester City
Apr 4, 2013, 12:58 PM EDT
Exactly two weeks since Yaya Toure's agent announced that his client felt disrespected by Manchester City and believed the club no longer wanted him, the incredible has happened. You guessed it, Toure put pen to paper today on a new four year deal to stay at the Etihad.
As compensation for the 29 year old's services, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan will reportedly pay the Ivorian a cool $333,000/£220,000 a week.
Yes, my friends, that is a ton of moolah. That's the kind of moolah that is a real game changer. That's the kind of moolah that – dare I say it – makes one think that maybe, just maybe, Yaya Toure is all about the moolah.
I mean, what about all that noise Toure made over wanting to play with his brother, Kolo, who will inevitably be leaving City this summer?
"This is where I want to be," Toure announced on City's official website. "When I first arrived at City every time I went to sleep I would dream about us winning something; now it is about us being the best team in whatever competition we take part in."
Awww, that's so sweet, Yaya!
But what about Toure's dream of finishing his career at Barcelona?
"I will never forget how I have been treated here by the fans, the club and the owners and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to finish my career as a Manchester City player.
"I want to continue winning titles and trophies and continue to make history. I have enjoyed all of my time here and can't wait for the next chapter. This is an incredible club to be part of with fans that support a team to the end whatever the circumstances."
Awwwwww, Yaya, stop! If you keep trying to convince me of your dedication to everything other than money my eyes might just well up with tears!
Seriously though, folks. If we've seen this 'I'm sad/I feel disrespected/The club doesn't love me' move once (see Rooney, Wayne), we've seen it a million times. Yaya Toure isn't a bad dude. I like Yaya Toure. Because at the end of the day footballers are just like you and me – they want to make the most money possible.
But this whole charade of creating false drama to gain contractual leverage needs to beat it.
World football needs more Benoit Assou-Ekotto's who just tell it like it is.

Thanks for making chess fun...and funny
good tactic
alright viedo
That last one put a smile on my face.
Why is the video 33 minutes long but I only get 7:22 on my android?
IM Rensch is bizarrely verbose but if you put that aside his videos are informative and worth it.
Great video! all the tactics were great!
although is the final position completely forced (the last few moves)?
Yeah you got me. I said Rc8 and didn't consider Qd6. Sue me
(Great video btw :D)
Very informative series until 28 minutes into the video when IM Daniel Rensch attempted a English accent at that point I choked on my tea as such I think he deserves a dam good spanking.
Just great! Thank you, IM Rensch!!:)
"The double check is the honey badger of check!"
It would be nearly impossible to tolerate these videos more than once. The material is great but too much filler. Like 4 1/2 minutes in the opening of bla, bla, bla. This would really be a less than 15 minute video with minimal admonitions, such as to pause.
On the plus side he can be funny, his silly side would endear him to many an elementary school crowd (no slur intended). Yeah, I talk too much too.

Today you take your quest to master all the critical tactical patterns in chess to the next level! IM Daniel Rensch is your guide, and you will certainly need one as some of these positions are a "big jump" from the last video in this series.

This has some very mild spoilers about Inside Out. Mike and I took the kids to see Inside Out this weekend. We all enjoyed it immensely. Gorgeous to look at, well-acted, lovely score, clever story, smart dialogue – it had everything you'd want in a move. But what I like the most about Inside Out…

A few days before this year's March for Babies, I was informed that our March for Maddie team was being honored for raising over $50,000. In fact, we came very close to passing $100,000 raised! We'll definitely pass that milestone next year. On the morning of the march, we woke up even earlier than usual….

Iowa Court Says Same-Sex Marriage Legal; OK in 3 States Now
Byline: Valerie Richardson, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The Iowa Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage Friday, shifting the cultural debate on such unions toward the nation's heartland and away from the more liberal coasts.
In a unanimous decision, the court ruled that a state law restricting marriage to a union of a man and a woman violated the equal protection clause of the Iowa Constitution, which requires that all persons similarly situated should be treated alike, according to the court's 69-page decision.
We are firmly convinced the exclusion of gay and lesbian people from the institution of civil marriage does not substantially further any important governmental objective, said Supreme Court Justice Mark Cady in the decision. The legislature has excluded a historically disfavored class of persons from a supremely important civil institution without a constitutionally sufficient justification.
The ruling quickly set the stage for a legislative duel between both sides of same-sex marriage. Backers of gay marriage hailed the seven-member court's decision as a landmark civil rights victory, while proponents of traditional marriage vowed to bring the issue before the legislature and the voters.
Iowa becomes the third state where gay marriage is recognized. Homosexual couples may also marry in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
In all three cases, the respective states' high courts were responsible for striking down laws barring same-sex marriage. The California Supreme Court ruled last year in favor of same-sex marriage, but was overruled by a statewide initiative affirming traditional marriage in November.
The Iowa decision takes effect April 24.
This is an amazing day - we're smiling ear to ear, said Jason Morgan, one of the case's plaintiffs.
Social conservatives, however, said the Iowa decision came as a punch in the gut.
This is the first time gay marriage has been imposed on the Midwest and not the liberal coasts, said Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth, a pro-traditional marriage group based in Illinois. This is the first time we've seen this in the middle of the country. Having this ruling come down in the Midwest, and then having it unanimous, is shocking.
U.S. Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican, blasted the court in a statement for what he described as pushing a social agenda through undemocratic means.
This is an unconstitutional ruling and another example of activist judges molding the Constitution to achieve their personal political ends, Mr. King said. Iowa law says that marriage is between one man and one woman. If judges believe the Iowa legislature should grant same-sex marriage, they should resign from their positions and run for office, not legislate from the bench.
He called on Iowans to pass a traditional marriage amendment to the Iowa Constitution. He also asked the legislature to pass legislation enacting a residency requirement on issuing marriage licenses so that the state doesn't become the gay marriage Mecca.
The opposition's best hope for overturning the court ruling lies in bringing a traditional-marriage constitutional amendment before the voters, the same strategy employed successfully last year in California. …

I need to take a month off from weight training due to a rotator cuff sprain/partial tear (not a result of weight training but an accident) and will be doing physical therapy 3 x week for the next few weeks. I am also allowed to run/jog, swim, and do abs until I complete therapy.
I assume that since I will not be doing my normal weight training routine (8 hours a week), that I need to cut on my calorie and protein intake? Will swimming help me maintain muscle tone? I just don't want to lose too much muscle size/tone as I have been training very hard the last 15 months.

43 year old man | Hurst, TX, USA | Seeking women 33-39 within 25 miles
Enjoy life and the rest will fall into place!
Its really hard to describe oneself without sounding cheesy or cliche but here it goes... First and foremost I love to laugh and have fun (I know... who doesn't, right). I am honest, sometimes described as too honest, and I am very much a lover, not a fighter... although I can easily protect myself and those I care about. I am all about family! I grew up in a family that divorce wasn't an option and divorce for me wasn't an option either... unfortunately, my divorce was decided for me by others (yep, same old gym story). Did I mention that I am sometimes too honest? I am in sales so I make freinds very easily, wherever I am. I love to host and / or participate in parties with my friends. I enjoy being outside on beautiful days, whether its working on my house, exercising, going to a park, or a festival or just sitting on a patio somewhere drinking a beer (and maybe a shot of quality tequila). Oh yea, I also LOVE cooking out... I use to participate in Competition Cook-Offs. I am an Account Executive for a large Trade Show and Marketing Environment Agency. I am very blessed to be able to say that I truly love my job! I get to design and create amazing structures using the latest technology and most unique interior and exterior architectural design materials on the market today... AND I get to travel to all of the coolest cities throughout our Continent; Vegas, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Canada, etc... I have very few inhibitions and am willing to try anything once. I believe in always doing the right thing, even if it means admitting I was wrong! Beyond my formal education, I am a perpetual student of life... open, eager and willing to learn something new each and every day! I am looking for someone i can be completely open and honest with. If we don't agree on EVERY topic, that's ok... as long as we can agree to disagree or be open to a valid discussion of a differing option. Who knows, you might even change my mind!
Aerobics, Cycling, Running, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

Race and ethnicity: Minneapolis and St. Paul
I was astounded by Bill Rankin's map of Chicago's racial and ethnic divides and wanted to see what other cities looked like mapped the same way. To match his map, Red is White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, Orange is Hispanic, Gray is Other, and each dot is 25 people. Data from Census 2000. Base map © OpenStreetMap, CC-BY-SA
this is what i thought it would like look.
Hey there,
I really appreciate your work! This is a fabulously eye-opening project. I was wondering, was there a reason for not incorporating an American Indian racial category? It *definitely* makes a difference in Minneapolis (there's a gray "Other" cluster that I know is Native), and I'm sure it makes a difference in cities like Seattle, Spokane, etc as well, and probably even more cities than I would think. It just seems like another instance of Native folks being forgotten like they don't exist in modern times or something. Any thoughts?
No surprise, that we're overwhelmingly white here, but I thought we had a little bit more diversity than this. I'll post this on my blog, attributed and linked back here. Thanks!
As of the 2006-2008 American Community Survey, the racial composition of Minneapolis was as follows:
* White: 70.2% (Non-Hispanic Whites: 64.2%)
* Black or African American: 17.4%
* American Indian: 1.7%
* Asian: 4.9%
* Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander: 0.0%
* Some other race: 2.8%
* Two or more races: 3.0%
* Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 9.2%
According to the 2006-2008 American Community Survey, the racial composition of Saint Paul was as follows:
* White: 66.7% (Non-Hispanic Whites: 61.6%)
* Black or African American: 13.5%
* American Indian or Alaska Native: 0.8%
* Asian: 12.4% (see detail below)
* Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander: 0.0%
* Some other race: 2.9%
* Two or more races: 3.7%
* Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 8.9%
The largest Asian ancestries in Saint Paul are as follows:
* "Other Asian": 10.1% (mostly Hmong)
* Asian Indian: 0.6%
* Korean: 0.6%
* Vietnamese: 0.6%
* Chinese: 0.3%
* Filipino: 0.1%
* Japanese: 0.1%
No offense intended to those who were included in "Other." I was trying to match the appearance of Bill Rankin's Chicago map and those were the colors that map used. Different categories probably make more sense for some other places.
Thanks for the response, Eric. I figured something like that was probably it. I don't know enough about the composition of recorded folks in Chicago to know if I could have made the same point to Bill Rankin. Although, I guess numbers aren't the point I'm looking at...just meaning more about the simple but repeated invisibility of Native people--something the Census actually purposefully did back in the day. Honestly, I wasn't aiming to imply any offense, just wanting to float a troubling phenomenon to the surface.
Looks like a nice place to live.
Thank you for doing this. I just wish there was some way to zoom in on different areas.... or am I missing that?
you can sort of zoom in by right clicking and selecting original size. it'll get to 3009x3009. as opposed to 640x640. unfortunately the neighborhood tagging isn't on the zoomed photo. but you can see streets and highways relatively clear.
Replaced with new image that represents the shapes of census blocks accurately.
I love that I live in an area that looks like rainbow static :) YAY Southside/Elliot Park!
