What You Need is Empathy. ~ Sheila Singh
I think as humans it's very natural to want to feel appreciated. It satisfies us at some level. I hear this from my husband often, and I am sure I have expressed the need to feel appreciated by him as well.
Last week, I had an insightful moment with my husband, Herbie. He came to me and said "You know this whole time I have been telling you that what I need is appreciation. I realize that that's not it at all, what I need is your empathy."
Right there I stopped and I looked at him and almost immediately I softened. He was speaking to my ability to feel so connected with him that I can have a sense of what it feels like to be in his shoes. This was really powerful.
Appreciation may satisfy the ego, but it does not necessarily speak to the heart.
I may be able to praise you, but that does not mean that I feel for you. We all have this innate desire to want to feel more connected and less separate. The more we allow ourselves to live in an empathic way both toward ourselves and others, the more we realize that we aren't these independent beings.
We are interdependent. We are connected.
What I do and say affects not only me, but those around me as well. Part of this yoga is to realize this quality of union, to be able to shed the barriers that we put up to protect us, whether it's from a person, a painful experience or even a difficult emotion.
Yoga calls us to broaden our field of experience so that we can compassionately and empathically include everything and everyone; both the people and the experiences that challenge us, and those that bring us ease.
Empathy comes from a place of love. It resides in our hearts even when we don't believe we have the capacity. Empathy is what will bring us together, rather than apart. It teaches us to not judge, but to know that this is all a part of the human experience and a part of each and every one of us.
So when we run away from that person who seems frustrated, petty or resentful, we run away from that very part of our own nature.
To embrace experience and the nature of others requires that we do the same exact thing for ourselves.
Sheila is inspired by many traditions of yoga and sees her yoga mat as a place for her to let go and drop into her body and mind and ultimately open into spirit. She hopes to hold a space for students to do the same. Sheila views the practice as a mindful dance between breath, movement and drishti. Sheila loves that yoga is truly a philosophy on how to lead your life with a greater sense of awareness and intention. It goes beyond the physical practice and helps to guide practitioners in every aspect of life. For Sheila, her yoga practice has enabled her to remain true to herself and embody a deep sense of awareness, acceptance and love through everything that life brings her way.Most importantly Sheila continues to be a student and is inspired by the wonderful community of teachers in Austin. When she is not practicing yoga, Sheila loves spending time with her two girls, her husband and beautiful circle of friends. www.sheilasingh.com

Sherrill Park Course No. 1 closed Monday, February 9, 2015 for renovations that will include new green surfaces, and reworked fairways. Every bunker on the course will be reworked and two new bunkers will be added. The bunkers will have a new look with grassed down faces with sand in the floor of the bunkers.
The last renovation took place in 1997 and while it remained a quality course, several areas needed improvement and maintenance. New grass on all 18 green surfaces is the most significant part of the renovations. The green complexes at holes 2, 4, 5, 14, 17 and 18 will be improved to create additional interest and playability and the 18th green will be shifted back and to the right to add additional length to the course's final hole.
Work is expected to take about eight months, with the newly renovated course scheduled to be open in late September or early October.

As much as we may want to believe that the city is an autonomous work of art, architecture the mother of urban design, and architects and planners the designers of the urban environment, all who have tried to design an actual city know these are fictions. The goal of this session is to explore how urban theory challenges the place and practice of urban design as well as some of the conundrums which arise when theory overwhelms the experience gleaned from everyday life. In this short introduction, I will attempt to clarify definitions of culture and theory, and relate them to concepts of urban design.
At first glance, theory, like culture, challenges urban design because its rhetoric and practices, when set within the context of the pluralistic city, diminish the need for design or designers to shape the meaning of place. In a city such as Los Angeles, where many are unemployed, the environment is fouled and civil unrest lurks beneath the surface, priority for the physical design of the city is minimized. The body politic believes that more pressing issues exist. In spite of limited design successes, many of which are on view in MOCA's galleries (Urban Revisions Exhibit, 1994?), urban design is typically the frosting on the cake of a larger and more politicized city-building process where the architect or planner is little more than a spectator. However, if urban design is defined as a practice of city making which straddles cultural and theoretical practices, perhaps a more empowering role for the urban designer can be staked out. To do this one must first distinguish the meaning and place of culture and theory, and only then define the place of urban design in relation to both.
First, culture: typically defined as the ideas, skills, arts, etc., of a given people in a given period, the concept of culture also suggests "nurturing" (as in cultivation), as well as that leap of faith associated with strong beliefs and cult worship. What is common to all of these definitions is acceptance of the idea that knowledge is generated from direct experience and wisdom of daily life gleaned from social intercourse. Hence, the form of the city is primarily nurtured by and responsive to cultural voices and customs that are everywhere around us.
From the perspective of the urban design and planning professions, which privilege specialized knowledge and techniques, one might say that culture and its many sub-cultures challenge from below. One tactic towards an empowering urban design practice is for the designer to more actively embrace the sub-cultural voices of the city and to propose forms that allow the expression of those voices. On the other hand, a myopic culturalism can quickly lead to localisms that exclude full participation in the activity and design of the city. Theory can at times serve as a buffer to counteract this type of destructive separatism but in doing so challenges culture, as well as urban design, from above.
A theoretical perspective grants a contemplative and mental viewing of ideas without the necessity of social intercourse which culture suggests. Theory allows for clear statements of principles and the creation of interpretive and speculative frameworks describing phenomena that may transcend the daily experience of life. The revelatory possibility of urban theory, however, is abstract in comparison to a strictly cultural perspective. Theory requires a distanced view and only becomes pro-active when revealed phenomena, which sometimes are not even visible to the persons effected, are manipulated. A conundrum for urban designers or planners exists when facile embracing of theoretical positions leads to formalisms distanced from the more immediate concerns of cultural practices. In reality, the urban designer's or planner's role in the making of the city is weakened when purely theoretical positions are taken without an understanding of cultural constrains.
To move beyond the conundrum of being either too mass-oriented or too abstract to be relevant to the concerns of city -making, the urban designer and planner must fit directly within the concerns of the city as opposed to viewing them from either above or below. Perhaps it is best to think of urban design as the three-dimensional projection of critical discourse into the environment. That definition allows us to experience as physical design, for example, the Rodney King Civil Disturbances of 1992 as well as debates about fiscal policy or air quality. These situations become acts of city design due to the fact that the look, feel and experience of the city, its open spaces, as well as its individual buildings, are impacted. Without participation in these simultaneous conversations from above and below, the act of planning and designing the city is relegated to irrelevance.
The "passive aggression" of much urban design and planning is ultimately due to definitions of urban design which emphasize political accommodation in the absence of either cultural or theoretical positions. The discourses of culture and theory are the pincers which define the uses of urban design as a physical art form. An incorporation of both is paramount if physical design and architecture are to be meaningful within the context of the city and not simply private activities carried on with pleasure by a privileged or self-selected elite. In essence, the city designer, as opposed to the architect has to constantly incorporate the cult of professional knowledge within and between cultural and theoretical practices. If the goal of this session is to explore how urban theory challenges the place and practice of urban design, then the objective of this session is to explore the balancing act between culture, theory and practice and to determine what the designer's role becomes when theory engages the urban and becomes a social and cultural ingredient in the conceptualization of place.
In this context two questions arise: Is the city designer still consigned to irrelevance when theory engages the city, or more positively, does theory allow the city designer to become a medium and resource for other voices and cultural positions?

I'm in the strong minority of people here who dislike this pick. Let's take a condensed look at why people disagree with me:
the best player on the board and was a bit of a slide
The guy is a great athlete and if he is anything like his brother he will have the mental toughness to be an number one NHL goaltender.
As it's been said a team can never have enough goaltending
seriously intense about his game bordering on obsessed. He constantly studies and reviews what he does well and what his weaknesses are daily.
needed a good goalie prospect/project
he's black, flashy, from an athletic family, and supposedly has a high ceiling. But I didn't start to like him until I saw the emotion I'm seeing from this kid after getting picked.
the B's are very weak in goalie prospects.
read somewhere that if Subban develops properly, you could flip him and get a great haul for him down the road.
Subban has some seriously positive buzz about him.
Whether he ever plays for or whether he's a chip to trade in the future, you can never have too much quality goaltending.
this kid was just too good an athlete to pass up.
I think Subban was the best player left.
They are indeed thin when it comes to goalie prospects.
What a great chip to have when looking at potential trades, a 1st round goalie.
the kid is a great athlete, I'll take a chance on that bloodline.
they went with the best player available all the while adding a goalie with a tremendous upside.
There is no depth at that position whatsoever.
Why not invest in someone who has a great work ethic, good jeans, and will be out there to prove all the naysayers wrong. I like the pick, as he WAS the BEST player available at 24. *** Levis or Toughskins?
goaltender depth is always a good thing
shows incredible athletism and dedication
Now, let's review that.
1. He's an athlete.
2. The Bruins need more goalies.
3. He tries to be good.
4. Trade bait.
5. Best player available.
You know what's missing there? His ability to play net. Everyone who posted positively in the "Malcolm Subban - yes" thread said the same thing over and over, yet no one said a thing about his ability to stop the puck.

"I love mint, it's fresh and timeless. And it looks good with just about anything! Our starting point was a black midsole which can be a brutal foundation, so we splattered it with a fine mist of wintery white speckle so crisp it's criminal. From there it was a simple process of adding layer-upon-layer of luscious mint and cool grey, with a sly hit of Sneaker Freaker red in the Torsion bar. It's a deceptively simple and supremely balanced combination. The materials are first class. The suede on the tongue and heel is so dark and mysterious it's like staring into an infinite abyss. The mint nubuck is dynamite, the grey leather is the spark and the rugged mesh toebox provides the exclamation mark. Bang!"
Originally released in 1992, the Torsion Integral S is constructed from a classic combination of micro-suede and mesh. The Sneaker Freaker x adidas Originals 2013 Consortium Torsion Integral S will be available at adidas Consortium retailers beginning December 21.

- Feasibility of using the device to image endometrial cancer [ Time Frame: 12 months or less ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Feasibility of using this novel device to image endometrial cancer is our primary objective. The frequency of success in obtaining images, overall and per group, will be presented and binomial success rates with 95% confidence interval estimates will be calculated. Besides the overall success rates, graphical and tabular summaries of the feasibility across patient demographic and clinical characteristics will be created.
|Study Start Date:
|January 2012
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2012
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Photoacoustic endoscopy
This is a one-arm, feasibility study to determine how well the experimental procedure photoacoustic endoscopy will evaluate the human endometrial cavity in vivo.
Device: Photoacoustic endoprobe
The PAE assessment will be performed in the operating room following strict sterile technique. PAE is performed immediately prior to the planned surgery. Participants are prepped following standard protocol. Length of the endometrial cavity is determined by a uterine sound. Endocervix is dilated as needed to allow passage of the PAE probe. The PAE probe will be advanced to the uterine fundus. Images will be obtained during withdrawal of the PAE probe from fundus to the os. Recorded images will allow computer assisted image analysis and functional measurements to be performed. Duration and difficulty of the procedure will be recorded. Comments and complications will be specifically noted.
Other Name: There are no other interventions.Procedure: Photoacoustic endoscopy
Photoacoustic endoscopy probe will be inserted into the endometrial canal to the uterine fundus and images will be obtained during the withdrawal of the probe from the fundus to the endocervical os.
Other Name: There are no other interventions.
Detailed Description:
The investigators will evaluate whether this technology can be used and also try to obtain photoacoustic images and functional data (oxygen contents, blood vessel characteristics, etc) of the uterine lining to assess its appearance in women with and without cancer of the endometrium. Currently, it is difficult for physicians to know whether or not tumors of the endometrium have invaded and spread to other organs without performing an extended surgery called a staging operation (removal of the lymph nodes or glands that drain the uterus to assess under the microscope whether or not the cancer has spread). Our long term goal is to use this new photoacoustic (PA) technology to improve detection of occult metastatic disease. Occult disease is defined as tumor which cannot be seen without the use of imaging techniques. and possibly avoid the need of extended operations. All of this could result in better care for patients with endometrial cancer and other gynecologic problems.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:

When I was planning the menu for the party, I knew what I wanted to serve for every course, except for the main course. I just couldn't come up with a good idea. I thought about doing a pot roast, but that just didn't seem special enough. Then I remembered these little treats that my mom used to make. They're so flavorful, and tender, like mini pot roasts on a stick. You've got to give them a try.
You need these…short ribs with the bones in. The bone-in is the important part, make sure they have the bones.
Sprinkle ribs generously with salt and pepper.
Then dredge them in flour.
In a large dutch oven, heat up some bacon grease and olive oil over high heat.
Place the meat in the pot and sear on all sides.
Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.
Chop a half of an onion and saute it in the same pot until tender.
Add in some red wine and bring it to a boil. Make sure to scrape the pot to get every last bit of flavor loosened up.
Turn off the heat and add some beef broth.
Return the meat to the pot.
Add more broth if necessary to make sure the ribs are almost completely covered.
Place a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme into the pot, making sure they're submerged in the liquid.
Cover the pot and cook for 2 1/2 hours. Check the meat and make sure its falling off the bone tender, if not, turn down the heat to 300 and cook an additional 30 minutes. Remove the pot from the oven and allow to sit, covered, 20 minutes before serving.
I'm completely dissappointed in myself that I didn't get a picture of these on the serving platter. I carmelized some onions and served them on top of the meat, with some of the cooking liquid spooned over the top.
These really are fantastic, don't let my lack of pictures convince you otherwise. Give them a try soon. You won't regret it!

She's an international star, a prolific songwriter, and a beloved philanthropist, but Dolly Parton is also just an old-fashioned Tennessee girl. Dolly Parton is considered to be the most successful female country music artist, having released 42 top-10 country albums and earned 25 number-one singles. She has won seven Grammy® awards and received 42 Grammy® nominations. She has also received seven awards from the Academy of Country Music and 10 Country Music Association awards, and is one of only five female artists to win the CMA's highest honor, "Entertainer of the Year." Dolly is also an acclaimed movie and television actress, and her literacy program, Dolly Parton's "Imagination Library," is now in 566 counties in 36 states. It started in her home town in Sevier County, Tennessee, just up the road from Cracker Barrel's home town of Lebanon, Tennessee. "The woman is one of our national treasures, so let's cherish her for as long as we've got her...this is one Barbie who has always been for real," wrote Newsweek in 2008.
This exclusive two-disc DVD and CD set can transport you to a front row seat in London as Dolly performs some of her most popular songs "Coat of Many Colors," "9 to 5," and "Jolene," live in front of her sold-out O2 arena concert. Classics like Dolly's very first million seller, "Here You Come Again" and "I Will Always Love You," along with previously unreleased live bonus tracks "Shattered Image" and "My Tennessee Mountain Home," combine in a memorable collection. The DVD captures Dolly interacting with the audience, sharing stories about growing up in Tennessee, and in the "Soundcheck" feature, fans get to take a peek backstage and see the inner workings of the show.
Cracker Barrel is pleased and proud to be the exclusive source of a new Collectors' Edition of Dolly's latest CD, Backwoods Barbie. The album features three new tracks that have never been heard before and brand new photos and artwork. The three new songs on this disc, "Rose of My Heart," "Hallelujah Holiday," and "Berry Pie" were selected by Dolly herself from her extensive catalog. "I wanted the songs I chose specifically for this release to reflect how I feel about Cracker Barrel and all the good things you can find there," said Dolly. "I think it's important for there to be an authentic connection to the heritage that Cracker Barrel and I share."

Tall Tales, True Stories and foot tapping songs!
Journey back to the days of choppers and skidders, when men ate huge breakfasts before entering the woods for a long day of chopping and hauling logs. The only thing bigger than their appetites were the tall tales they told in the bunkhouse.

Ask Ananda's Experts
Questions and Answers About Meditation, Yoga, the Spiritual Life, and More
Helping Someone Who is Depressed, and Who Resists Help
How can I help a person who is close to me - a relative - when he is in a depressed down state? He is very dear to me and I feel I must help but see that he doesn't want to accept any help.But I can't be passive about it anyway, I can't see him suffer. What should I do?
Dear Friend,
Yours is a poignant dilemma, for how can we help anyone who doesn't accept our help? In fact, of course, we CANNOT help one who refuses our help! And yet, we cannot NOT TRY to help! What a dilemma.
A few thoughts, nonetheless, occur which may be at least somewhat helpful:
1) Each day in your meditations pray for your friend (relative). Surround him with God's joy and light and hold him in that light for as long as your concentration (and YOUR JOY) permit.
2) So long as he does not accept your help AS HELP, then try just to be friendly in a natural and relaxed way to interact without discussing his state of mind or attitudes directly. Some examples follow:
3) Check in by phone every day or two.
4) Invite him out to a meal or over for a meal, or bring him food from time to time.
5) Invite him out to a movie, a play, a hike, a walk around the neighborhood.
6) Ask other friends or relatives to engage him in ways that are natural, also, and yet not obvious.
7) Does he have access to good medical care? Mental health services?
8) The secret is this: ENERGY (MOVEMENT). when depressed one's energy is locked up. The first step therefore is to get him to move. I mean literally: get up, walk around, do something, exercise, laugh, tell jokes, cook a meal, clean the house............ANYTHING BUT to stay home alone under the covers, sitting on the couch, watching TV, or surfing the internet.
9) Another secret is this: SERVICE.....helping OTHERS IS THE BEST WAY TO HELP ONESELF. Ask him a favor! See if there's some other friend, relative, neighbor or worthy cause that might motivate him to help someone else.
10) Avoid talking about his "problems" or commiserating, even when he might want to "talk about it." Staying in his head allows him to stay in his head. Problems aren't solved that way but through energy, so long as energy is paralyzed by depression.
Well, I think that's plenty for now. ok?

I am trying to play music and video to the WD TV Live hub media server via DLNA. I am trying to play from a Android using the DLNA app that came with the phone and I have tried IMediashare.
The phone is a Motorola Bionic. What happens when I play a file I get "An error has occurred" then when I look further it says "UPnP command error".
I can get files to play from PC using Windows Media player. But once I get the error nothing will play from anywhere until I reset the WD TV Live Hub.
Has anyone experienced this and what solutions are there?
The hub is connected by Ethernet.
You may take a look to this: http://wdtvforum.com/main/index.php?topic=5495.0, it shows a list of compatible DLNA servers with the WD TV Live, it may also apply for the Hub.

Running on solar and dynamo power, this portable radio doesn't require batteries or an electrical outlet. The rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) power cell is replenished by the small solar panel on the top of the radio or by an internal dynamo operated by a fold-out hand crank.
The radio receives AM/FM frequencies and, as with radios on marine vessels, its seven weather-band channels receive signals from climate monitoring centers throughout North America*, providing up-to-date forecasts as well as official weather watches, warnings and advisories for your area 24 hours a day. Its two USB ports and included adapter cable let you charge a cell phone or MP3 player in an emergency. It has a built-in LED flashlight with a phosphorescent frame that emits a soft glow, just bright enough to make it easier to find in the dark. In our tests, 10 to 12 hours of sunlight provided about 3 hours of radio play at low volume; 5 minutes of cranking allowed about 30 minutes of radio play or 1-1/2 hours of flashlight use.
A compact 5-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 2-1/2", the radio has a 3.5mm earphone jack, 10" telescoping antenna and nylon wrist lanyard. Great for camping, boating or other adventures beyond the power grid, it is also useful at home in case of power outages or hazardous weather conditions.
* In Canada, the Meteorological Service of Canada provides weather bulletins on the Weatheradio network (www.ec.gc.ca/meteo-weather). In the U.S., weather information is broadcast by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr). Check for availability of service in your area.

'House' Season 7, Episode 15 Recap
'House' hasn't been the show that everyone has been looking forward to seeing at the end of a hard day. It's not something that most people stare at the office wall clock praying that the minutes go by so they can learn what interesting or scary disease someone has contracted and how, when, or where it will kill them.
Someone out there is still watching it though, other than contractually obligated TV critics. It's not burning up the charts, but it handily scores the top spots vs. its competition in that all-important age 18-49 demographic. Could it be that TV fans have just been hanging on through all this viscerally painful viewing to see how their favorite medical detective (well, only if you don't count 'Quincy' and Dick Van Dyke's character on 'Diagnosis: Murder' in a very distant third) is doing in his difficult time of unending happiness?
Last night, they got their answer. The moment we all saw coming when Cuddy and House finally hooked up way back at the end of last season came when we didn't see it coming.
A breakup between the two love-struck physicians was inevitable since Cuddy is a level-headed single mother who can be her own rock without House, and House is basically a giant kid with a gland problem. He was bound to say the wrong thing, do the wrong whatever, or pull a prank so unworthy of Cuddy's future affection that it would take a nuclear holocaust to bring the two back together. Maybe.
The execution was really the biggest surprise to the moment we all thought we could see coming. Cuddy comes down with some mysterious growth and of course, House immediately thinks it's fatal even before they do the ultrasound. That's because he spends the first chunk of the show denying it up and down so he won't have to deal with the hand-holding comforting and sappy reassuring that he hates even having to watch his patients go through.
During this classic case of denial, we get to watch Cuddy's subconscious play "Pictionary" with her situation by drawing up all sorts of TV- and movie-inspired dreams from a hokey "Leave it to Beaver" rip-off with House playing a weird mix of Barbara Billingsley and Hugh Beaumont to an obvious "Two and a Half Men" live action comedy with House as a slightly less cocky Charlie Sheen. The timing on the airing of that last one could not have been more perfect.
Character dreams are a huge television convention, an easy way for the writer to convey whatever the character is feeling without using actual dialogue or scenes in the context of a story that make logical sense. Here, they felt more organic even when they were being very tongue-in-cheek. They didn't come right out and tell you what Cuddy was thinking or even worried about. They actually made you think about it until the answer came flying out of her in the climatic final scene. Plus, anything that references 'The Evil Dead' gets a big thumbs up from me, even if undead and decaying zombies that can run and fight as well as a Romanian gymnast still send me into a fanboy rant.
And here's the biggest shocker of them all: Taub was the good cop. He was actually placed in a situation where you not only felt sorry for him, but you actually rooted for him to do the right thing. He was paired off with the patient of the week -- a disturbed high school kid in a deep depression that went pretty deep for a kid who may or may not have been cutting himself to feel alive. The kid's story actually got pretty dark, even for a show that treats bloody urine and cystic tumors as an everyday plot point. Taub even seemed to have some genuine affection and concern for someone other than himself or his latest conquest. It was so good, and so worthy of my time that I actually hope the plot carries through to the next episode.
Of course, the big bombshell of the night was Cuddy's eventual break-up with House over something that, frankly, I had forgotten about for almost a year. House's inability to be comfortable, or even show the affection that Cuddy needed in her darkest hour, drove him back to his old partner, Dr. Vicodin, and just when we thought that House had grown up and faced pain that we all will eventually have to deal with in some form or another, it turns out he was really just resting himself on another cane.
The moment felt genuine, surprising and actually human, for once this season. I can't believe I'm about to write this but I'm actually looking forward to the season finale, and not because it will be the last 'House' episode that I'll have to watch for at least the next nine months.
'House' airs Mondays, 8PM ET on FOX.

To provide periodic and comprehensive statistics about business establishments and activities. The United States Code, Title 13, requires this census and provides for mandatory responses.
All domestic non-farm business establishments, other than those operated by governments. Most reports are confined to businesses with paid employees.
Basic data obtained for all establishments including kind of business, geographic location, type of ownership, total revenue, annual and first quarter payroll, and employees in the pay period including March 12. Additional inquiries vary from sector to sector and, in some cases, industry to industry.
Every 5 years since 1967, for years ending in "2" and "7." Previous economic censuses were conducted for years 1963, 1958, and 1954. Data collection begins in December of the census year and responses are due in about 8 weeks. Data are requested for activities taking place during the census calendar year.
A mail-out/mail-back data collection for establishments of multi-unit companies, large single-unit employers, and a sample of small employers; and administrative records data for non-selected small employers and all nonemployers. All establishments of multi-unit firms and single-unit employers with annualized payroll above a size cutoff (for most industries, equivalent to about 3 employees) receive a census form. A sample of small employers also receives a census form. This sample is selected using a stratified sampling procedure with strata based on industry and geography. Basic data for non-selected small employers and nonemployers are obtained from Federal administrative records. Estimates for sales by product line and other industry-specific data for non-manufacturing and non-mining establishments are based partly on small employer sample results.
Most data are available from the Internet and on CD-ROM. The principal publications are:
Industry Series reports present preliminary statistics, packaged for individual industries or groups of related industries.
Geographic Area Series reports supersede industry series data, and are packaged by sector and by state within sector. Reports provide industry statistics for each state and the District of Columbia, and, in most sectors, metropolitan and micropolitan areas, counties and places. Geographic detail available for each sector is summarized in the Guide to the Economic Census.
Subject Series reports supplement other products and present tabulations for the U.S. with some state detail. Reports for most sectors include Establishment and Firm Size (Including Legal Form of Organization); and Miscellaneous Subjects Reports for the manufacturing sector include General Summary, Products Summary, Materials Consumed Summary, and Concentration Ratios in Manufacturing.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis uses the data to benchmark GDP estimates and prepare input-output tables. The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses the data to benchmark producer price indexes and prepare productivity statistics. The Federal Reserve Board uses the data to prepare indexes of industrial production.
State and local agencies use the data to forecast economic conditions and plan policies. Trade associations, companies, and researchers use the data for economic planning, market analysis and investment and production decisions. National and local news media use the data in general and special business coverage.
The Census Bureau uses the data in sampling and benchmarking activities for current surveys.
Nonemployer Statistics provides annual data on the businesses without paid employees that are excluded from most economic census reports.
County Business Patterns provides annual data on the same businesses with paid employees covered in most economic census reports, including establishments, employment, and payroll, but no measure of sales or output.
Statistics of U.S. Businesses provides annual data on business with paid employees classified by employment-size of the enterprise.
Survey of Business Owners (formerly known as the surveys of minority- and women-owned business enterprises) is conducted once every 5 years in conjunction with the economic census, and obtains information about race, gender and other owner characteristics; business acquisition; and financing methods.
Business Expenses Survey is conducted once every 5 years in conjunction with the economic census, and compiles national-level data on detailed operating expenses by kind of business, such as labor costs, depreciation, rent, utilities, and purchased services.
Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey was conducted once every 5 years in conjunction with the economic census through 2002, and provides information about truck characteristics and uses.
Commodity Flow Survey is conducted once every 5 years in conjunction with the economic census, and produces data on the movement of goods in the United States.
Business Register provides a current and comprehensive database of U.S. business establishments and companies that serves as the mailing list or sampling frame for the economic census and most other business surveys.
Economic Census (Classification) determines industry classification and physical location for establishments without complete information on file.

Acorn Squash CrockPot Recipe
Day 279.
Autumn is here, and the grocery stores and produce stands are full of squash and colorful seasonal produce. I love the colors and smells of fall and the cooler weather. I purposely find piles of leafs to crunch through when walking the kids to school---this is a great time of year, and the perfect time to dig out the crockpot.
The hardest thing about this recipe is cutting through the squash. My mom told me (too late, I had already plopped the pieces in the crock) that she usually microwaves squash for a few minutes to soften the skin before cutting. I look forward to trying that next time. I ended up using the little orange serrated knife that comes with the jack o'lantern carving kit to get through the tough skin.
The Ingredients.
--acorn squash
--2 T brown sugar
--2 T butter
--2 tsp cinnamon
--4 pinches of salt
The Directions.
I use a 4 quart crockpot. Cut the squash in quarters, and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp. I gave the innards to the guinea pigs; they were thrilled.
Put 1/2 T of butter and 1/2 T of brown sugar into each quarter. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of cinnamon onto each brown sugar pile. Add a small pinch of salt to each quarter.
Lower the pieces into your crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or on low for about 3. The squash is finished when it is fork tender and peels away from the skin easily.
The Verdict.
My mom and I ate this, and liked it a lot. I was able to get one kid to try a bite, and she liked it, but I think she mostly got brown sugar. Adam doesn't like squash, but ate a few bites to be nice.
I will make this again. It was simple, tasty, and smelled wonderful. I'll just share with my mom.

Sounds great...I love acorn squash!! I usually put parmesan cheese on top, so give that a try sometime! YUM!

I like to make it by cutting them in half and putting a ball of sausage into it and baking it. Then you eat the squash and sausage together. Yumm!

- $5 Dinner Mom said...
Great tip from your mom about nuking before cutting! I'll do that from now it! I usually take my big chef's knife to it "machete" style and hope it lands in the middle for a good cut! Glad to know an easier and safer way!
- October 5, 2008 at 11:15 AM
- Shirley said...
I just saved another recipe that topped the acorn squash with sausage, cranberries, raisins, chopped apple, pecans, and maple syrup so there are lots of possibilities.
I had read about the microwave for softening squash, too, but I am always leery as I've had things explode in the microwave. LOL
Laughed at the comment on your one child enjoying her taste, but it "was mostly brown sugar." That sounds about right. ;-)
Thanks so much for all your recipes. Love them!

- quinn said...
About this time of year I start living on squash! I've gotten in the habit of microwaving it, but the next time my crockpot is available I'll give your method a try.
My crockpot's dance card is pretty darn full these days...maybe it's time to invest in another. Thanks again for all the inspiration!
- October 5, 2008 at 11:45 AM
- Mommy (Becky) and Madalyn said...
Sounds yummy!
One trick I found with cutting acorn squash is to cut the bottom tip off, then start the cut from there. Made it so much easier to cut through!
I'm really looking forward to seeing some more fall recipes!

I wish certain members of my family would try something just to be nice . . .

I like a touch of nutmeg on mine with the sugar and butter.

I forget how much I like these until I am reminded...I still want to see you try artichokes in the big crock and dipping sauce in the small one - like Hollandaise...(can that be done in a crock?)
I can't believe I've been following you since almost day one - it's always exciting to see what you will come up with next!
- October 5, 2008 at 8:35 PM
- Saur♥Kraut said...
This is our family's favorite time of year! Thank you SO MUCH for a recipe that I am using TONIGHT!!! This is so much better than having to juggle it last minute, sticking it in the oven and hoping I've timed it right so that the squash is done to perfection.
- October 6, 2008 at 5:57 AM
- HB said...
I love your blod ! I have been so inspired that I ordered my Crock Pot with Free Little Dipper! Can't wait to get it & start trying out your recipes - please do another year of Crock Potting!
- October 6, 2008 at 6:08 AM
Hi everyone,
I am new to CrockPotting and would like to ask for help. I have a new programmable 6 quart oval Corning crockpot and recently moved. The manual is surely packed in some box, but I need to use the crockpot. If anyone has a manual, I would like to ask a few questions.
Thank you,

Thanks for this simple and great recipe! Am putting it in right now! Can't wait to eat it!!! Woohooo!

nom nom nom
We call this dish "squish" in my house :)
We usually just microwave it though, it's less work/time than the crockpot...
But I guess that's not the point of doing a crock-pot recipe each day, eh?
Thanks for shedding light on the wonders of acorn squash! :)
- October 8, 2008 at 7:03 AM
- Sadie said...
I bought 2 acorn squash today after seeing this, I haven't made it in years and living in Texas turning on the oven is really only reasonable 3 months out of the year! Now I can have acorn squash without having to jack up the air conditioner.

My husband has been in the produce biz for 20 years and I even worked with him for a few. And I always thought that a great invention would be a Hard Squash Guillotine.
It would work on melons as well.
- October 10, 2008 at 6:02 AM
- Jenn said...
Instead of sugar and cinnamon, I use honey, nutmeg, and a tiny bit of ginger. It's so nice, and the ginger adds a bit of zing.

Just popped mine in the crocky. Can't wait for dinner!
- October 11, 2008 at 12:05 PM
- Anjanette said...
Thanks for this - I'm making it now! :) Unfortunately, dinner will be late because I let it sit in the crock pot for an hour before I realized it wasn't plugged in. *sigh*
- October 18, 2008 at 3:23 PM
- Sarah said...
This was my second dish to try from here and the second one that was really yummy! I am always looking for ways to avoid using my oven, so this came in quite handy. Tell your mom many thanks for the trick about nuking them in the microwave first - it made cutting them a breeze! I actually used carnival, heart of gold and dumpling squash, and they worked fine.

I love acorn squash. I am the only one in my family that eats it. I cook it with bacon and brown sugar. I find it tastes like candy. ymu-o

I know I'm a late arrival to the party (I found your blog doing a search for "crockpot applesauce" and found way more than I bargained for! This is AWESOME!!!) I haven't tried it in the crock yet, but when I've made acorn squash in the past I've filled the inside with cut up apples and raisins along with the spices and brown sugar...I can't imagine why it wouldn't work in the crock either. The flavors should all blend nicely...this is one of our standard holiday dishes, and it would be GREAT to make it in the crock and not take up space in an already in-demand oven...!
THANK YOU for this site! Actually, joining on in earl 2009 is awesome, because I can just look through the huge assortment of recipes and have a ball!
