Primary Sources: Workshops In American History "The Census: Who We Think We Are" Every 10 years, American citizens get a new view of who they are. In this workshop, a selection of Census forms over the past 200 years shows how categories of race and ethnicity not only reflect, but can shape and sometimes obscure, America's ideas of racial identity. Onscreen participants attempt to "find" themselves in evolving racial categorizations from 1830 to 1990 and, using recent Census results, formulate appropriation priorities for a Midwestern community.G

In 2014 we are hoping to do some planned genealogy activities together. For one thing we are hoping to go to some obscure libraries and museums where genealogy artifacts may be lurking.

Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball Trek Is Top Grossing Female Tour of 2012
Even though she was plagued by protestors on the Asian leg of the Born This Way Ball tour, Lady Gaga was still laughing all the way to the bank. She placed No. 5 overall on Pollstar's Top 50 Worldwide Tours for the first half of 2012. While rockers such as Roger Waters, Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay placed ahead of her, along with Cirque du Soleil, Gaga is the female with the top-grossing tour so far. And guess what? She hasn't even hit Europe or her native North America yet.
But that's not the extent of the good news. The BTWB tour is on (the right) track to becoming one of the highest grossing tours ever.
The fact that every show of the Asian leg sold out helped her achieve these distinctions and projections. A Western act has not sold out each date of a tour in years. Let's not forget that the Jakarta show, which was sold out to several tens of thousands of little monsters, was canceled outright due to religious extremists lodging threats against her and the show. So Gaga is making a killing with this tour, even with a cancellation. She's only burned through one leg of the BTWB tour thus far, with many more to come. Onward and upward.
Congrats to Lady Gaga on being the Queen Bee of touring!

Ok, so I finished System Imager 1.0 and I released it with OS/4 Enterprise Linux 4.1.3. Its a great piece of work and we have made it so you dont have to worry about what kernel you are running, as long as you have the squashfs modules built it will boot your image. We have tested it on Ubuntu 13.04 and we have had preliminary success. We are comfortable now after our Enterprise customers have tested it to say its ready for public consumption.
I have had some people ask me, "How come you released it in OS/4 Enterprise, but you havent released it for Ubuntu or Red Hat." First, we did it for Enterprise because we integrated it with our release of Webmin, so users can create images of their servers and install across multiple servers and we integrated it into our proprietary Disk utility. Second, NO ONE contributed code, ideas or cash. We got a lot of feature requests and those will be worked on when time permits. We are releasing the Disk Utility integrated with OS/4 OpenLinux 13.6 and we will work on the others when time permits. When we get done with our SPARC port of OS/4 Enterprise Linux we will work on System Imager for Ubuntu and Red Hat. But, when I have to fund development myself, and work on it myself then sorry guys, it goes into my own product first. We are committed to doing a build for Ubuntu and Debian and Red Hat, which wont be integrated into those three it will be more like the approach Remastersys took.

Sound Tigers lose lead, game to St. John's
BRIDGEPORT -- The penalty kill had been a huge Bridgeport Sound Tigers strength through November. It even gave them a lead Sunday against the St. John's IceCaps.
Then it gave up three power-play goals in the last 23 minutes, helping St. John's erase a two-goal deficit and win 4-3 at Webster Bank Arena.
The IceCaps got the winning goal on the back end of a double minor to Ryan Strome, called for tripping former Bridgeport teammate Jordan Hill and then an additional minor for unsportsmanlike conduct.
"Give them eight power plays, an extended four-minute penalty, you're hurting yourself," Bridgeport coach Scott Pellerin said. "We're finding ways to give other teams life, and percentage-wise, you can't win hockey games like that."
Eric O'Dell scored the winning goal to cap off a nice passing play begun on the right-wing boards by former Sound Tigers forward Kael Mouillierat.
The Sound Tigers (4-9-1-3) are now winless in six, having suffered shootout losses on the road the previous two nights.
Bridgeport killed the IceCaps' first four power plays, so the Sound Tigers had killed 52 of the previous 58 penalties they had faced. Johan Sundstrom scored short-handed off Riley Wetmore's faceoff win. Anders Lee added a goal on the rush in the second.
The IceCaps scored on three of their last four power plays in front of 3,582 fans.
"I thought we structurally did some good things on special teams, on the penalty kill," Pellerin said. "I thought we blocked a lot of shots."
The IceCaps turned that around late in the second, as Jerome Samson, the former Albany River Rat, deflected in a goal to make it 2-2.
Mouillierat scored on a rebound in the third, and after Calvin de Haan tied it through a screen on a delayed penalty, O'Dell beat Bridgeport goalie Parker Milner, making his AHL debut, from the base of the right circle with 4:49 remaining.
"I think we just started moving it around," said Mouillierat, playing his first game in Bridgeport after the team didn't re-sign him in 2012. "We were stagnant those first few (power plays). We started getting some shots through. The power play we didn't score (in the second period), we had it in (the offensive zone) the full two minutes. We didn't score, but we got a lot of momentum."
The momentum was helped a minute later when Andrew Gordon's right-wing shot caromed off two Sound Tigers and past Milner to get the IceCaps on the board.
"Obviously, I don't like to give one up like that, but I'm not going to beat myself up for it," Milner said.
As for the other goals, "I'd like to ask more of myself than that," he said. "I started really strong. I've got to get better as the game progresses. So, not bad for a first game, but I've got to do better, especially when we need a win."

Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, Showing the Operations, Expenditures, and Condition of the Institution for the Year 1881 (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1883), pp. 637-38.
Short Creek is a little stream that enters the Ohio River 9 miles above the city of Wheeling, and the shell deposit alluded to commences to show in the bank of the river some 50 yards above the mouth of this creek, and is exposed for over 100 feet up the river, when it is hidden by a fill for a road down to the water. The shells are those of the freshwater clam and are very fragile, splitting into fine scales on handling, though an occasional one is found that is perfect. The shells are now covered with about 3 feet of silt, and formerly there were 3 or 4 feet of the same loamy deposit over this, but it was removed in grading for a public road. A portion of this road, with much of the deposit of shells, has fallen into the river by the caving in of the bank.
While many of the usual indication which mark such deposits as artificial, such as the remains of fires, &c., are present, there are two peculiarities worthy of especial notice. One of which is a stratum of river bowlders which divides the deposit of shells, which is over 2 feet in thickness, into two very equal parts through its entire exposure. These bowlders were evidently selected with great care for uniformity in size and are about 3 inches in diameter, and are packed as closely as in a pavement. The remains of the fires show both above and below these bowlders, but none immediately upon them. The other peculiarity is the abundance of human bones found mixed with the shells, but these are probably of later origin, and, if so, show that the place has subsequently been used for a burial place.
The large mound at Moundsville, W. Va., was opened in 1838 by Mr. Tomlinson, who, in opening, drove two shafts into it, one on the plane of the base to its center, the other from the top to the base. The horizontal shaft was through a loamy clay as far as driven, which was some 12 or 15 feet at the time I was there, and for 3 or 4 feet in from the surface on the sides and top was marked with fine dark lines which formed segments of circles springing from each other in successive rows, after the manner of what is sometimes termed the "shell-pattern." These lines were from 12 to 16 inches from point to point of contact and 2 1/2 to 3 inches apart at their greatest vertical separation. These lines suggested the idea that the mounds had been faced with turf. In support of this hypothesis, it would be necessary to remember the high angle of elevation of the faces of the mound, the height of the mound and the material of which it is composed, and while the angle of inclination of the faces is no more than nature willingly tolerates under such circumstances, yet, unless the faces were protected, they would be much wasted and gullied by the rains before they would be protected by spontaneous vegetation. The adaptation of the means to the end is apparent in the facility with which the material could be obtained applied, and in the perfect protection which such a casing could afford.

While there is a perception that PC MMOs need some drastic changes to remain viable, some developers are moving their expertise to smaller screens to try their luck.
The MMO genre as it exists in the mobile space is still in its infancy, and just as all mobile developers are still feeling their way around the market, there are developers taking the plunge into mobile MMOs and coming out successful, despite their key differences in approach.
Pocket Legends is where it things really started, according to Spacetime Studios CEO Gary Gattis. The team has a long history with MMOs, with key staff having filled prominent roles on games like Star Wars Galaxies at Sony Online Entertainment.
After starting the studio, Gattis and crew started working with NCSoft on a sci-fi MMO codenamed Black Star -- however the failure of Auto Assault and Tabula Rasa changed the publisher's priorities, and the title was cut from its roster. Following this, Spacetime worked with Disney on an educational MMO that had a similar fate.
The team quickly realized that, despite the setbacks, it had a solid technological bed to develop MMOs on. Noting an absence of MMOs on the iOS market, the team quickly got to work on Pocket Legends, which expanded to encompass Android and browser via the Chrome Web Store.
"We paid for our tech with soul crushing disappointment, but what came out of it was this tech that does not exist anywhere else in the mobile world," says Gattis. "There's no licensable 3D MMO technology that has the type of server capabilities that we have in the mobile world, so when we took our product from PC to mobile, it was like taking the engine out of a Ferrari, putting it into a go kart, and going to the races."
Spacetime Studios didn't immediately jump in with both feet, however, instead testing the market and technology to learn important lessons about developing on mobile.
"We sold maybe 100 copies cumulatively of these things. It wasn't a profit play for us -- it was very much a loss leader to determine if we could do it," said Gattis. "We were mitigating the risks of building an MMO and looking at all the necessary things which we needed to do to build an MMO. One had skeletal animation, one updated content on the fly, one had leaderboards, and after we had about six smaller games we realized, 'We can do this. Let's go for it.'"
The Legends series initially began with a form of the free-to-play model -- there was a paywall at level 13. After further consultation with investors and research into industry trends, Spacetime made a full transition to the free-to-play with microtransactions model.
Pocket Legends
While Gattis was hesitant to detail specific player numbers, he did note that at the time of the interview, last month the studio averaged between 1.4 and 1.5 million play sessions per week across its three MMO titles -- the fantasy-themed Pocket Legends, horror Dark Legends, and sci-fi Star Legends.
Now, after three years in the market, Spacetime is working on its fourth MMO. The studio has grown to what Gattis refers to as a "42 piece jazz fusion odyssey orchestra of experimentation". Gattis currently aims for a six-month gap between new releases of the Legends games, with Arcane Legends soon to ship on mobile and desktop, via the Chrome Web Store, both.
Spacetime was initially wary that launching another Legends game could cannibalize the Pocket Legends audience, but decided to take the risk anyway, believing a solid portfolio would win out in the end. This risk paid off when Spacetime found its games had "almost parallel growth... There are people who prefer each game, and I think that's a genre thing, but there's a significant portion who play all or both games, and it actually did turn out to be a nice synchronous loft by having all games available," says Gattis.
This genre-focused release model also allows Spacetime Studios to regularly iterate on its games. Its practice now involves iterating on gameplay systems for newer titles, then rolling those changes back into older games where appropriate. Dedicated teams are also kept on each title to make sure there is enough content and updates to keep players engaged.
Gattis cites a Nielsen study indicating that while Android users and iOS users spend 9.3 and 14.7 hours respectively playing games per month, the average Legends player spends about 25 hours per month in-game. "We built it for these quick play sessions, but people were playing the shit out of it," Gattis says. "Players would plug their phones into their computers to maintain a charge, and play for hours and hours on end."
"They log in about five times a day for about three hours, and give us about $115 a quarter -- these are guys who have stayed with us since the beginning, and they're not outliers, they're a significant portion of our player base."
Part of keeping these players engaged is done thanks to Spacetime's ability to push updates quickly and regularly, Gattis says. Possibly most important to the studio's strategy is that it also pushes updates simultaneously to users on iOS, Android and via Google Chrome, he claims.
Now, says Gattis, he's set his sights on improving the company's business model, by bringing in new staff from other social game companies like Zynga to help better understand the processes of monetization and player retention.

USD Mock Trial Team Selling Statue Calendar
VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) - The University of South Dakota mock trial team has come up with a statuesque way to raise money for a scholarship fund.
The team is selling a 2013 calendar with each month portraying the William O. "Doc" Farber statue in various outfits, including Valentine's Day flair and clothing highlighting USD's rivalry with South Dakota State University.
Farber served as chairman of the USD Department of Political Science for 38 years. The life-sized statue on Dakota Hall terracewas dedicated in 2002.
The team provides students the opportunity to learn basic trial advocacy skills and compete against teams in the region and from around the nation.
The $15 calendar was created by USD Creative Services and team members, who spent time last fall preparing props and taking photos of the campus landmark.

Two financial entities are battling for control of Big Sky, Montana's Yellowstone Club, which boasts memberships by some of the world's wealthiest...
Both Credit Suisse and CrossHarbor Capital with financial help offered by some Club members, are battling for control of Edra Blixseth's bankrupt Big Sky, Montana Yellowstone Mountain Club:
Credit Suisse, failing in its attempt to setup a seven-figure loan plan, argues that because it's owed over $300M by the Club it should maintain control and is trying to block a financing deal from Boston-based CrossHarbor Capital, which has offered $20 million to maintain the club through the winter skiing and snowboarding season.
Some Club members, siding with CrossHarbor Capital and Sam Byrne, showed up for the Tuesday, November 25th court proceedings, agreeing to inject an additional $5 million into Cross Harbor Capital's plan.
Credit Suisse, with substantially more owed it and carrying more weight into the court room as primary creditor, is in a parlous state because if the judge sides with CrossHarbor's plan, Credit Suisse will lose its primary creditor status, which means it wouldn't be paid first, if and when the Yellowstone Club is solvent again.
In a sort of "geometric strategy," Credit Suisse offered to continue financing the club into the first week of December 2008, hoping it may be able to scrape up enough cash to gain control, possibly close, and sell the Yellowstone Club...

Plymouth Motors enjoyed a 73-year history during which it was one of the most popular brands of American-made automobiles. Even though the Plymouth brand has been defunct since 2001, the company left a legacy of affordable, quality, American-made cars behind.
Plymouth Before World War II
The company was founded as the Plymouth Motor Corporation in May, 1928. From the start, Plymouth was essentially a subsidiary of Chrysler, and Walter Chrysler himself served as the company's president. The Plymouth division was introduced in order to gain entry into the low-priced auto field without sullying Chrysler's upmarket brand. One of brand's first successes was the Plymouth 4, which was a cut-price version of the Chrysler 4.
The 4 was followed by the Plymouth PA in 1931. The PA featured rubber engine mounts and was a big enough hit to temporarily allow Plymouth to rank third in U.S. auto sales, right behind Ford and Chevy. Throughout the 1930s, Plymouth's low-priced cars proved instrumental in helping Chrysler weather the Great Depression. By decade's end the company had built more than three million cars.
Plymouth After World War II
Throughout much of its existence, Plymouth was one of the top-selling automotive brands in the United States. Plymouth, Chevrolet, and Ford were known as the "low priced three" in the American automotive market. In fact, Plymouth nearly surpassed Ford in the 1940s to claim the number two spot.
It was during the 1940s that Plymouth introduced distinctive models such as the Cambridge, Suburban, and Cranbrook. In the 1950s, Plymouth began featuring V-8 engines and automatic transmissions. By the dawn of the 1960s, Plymouth had built more than 12 million cars.
It was in the 1960s that Plymouth produced a number of classic models. The Valiant, introduced in 1960, was a compact car developed to compete with the smaller import models becoming popular at the time. Released four years later, the Barracuda was a fastback A-body coupe that represented Plymouth's entry into the pony car market that was burgeoning at the time. The Barracuda, like most pony cars, was a sporty, affordable compact inspired by the success of the Ford Mustang. Plymouth followed the success of the Barracuda by developing two iconic American muscle cars in the Road Runner and the GTX. In the late 1960s, Plymouth also introduced the formidable 426 Hemi V-8 engine.
Like many American automakers, Plymouth ran down some rough roads in the 1970s as Middle East oil crisis loomed and gasoline crunches became a daily reality for many Americans. The company was able to weather the storm to some degree thanks to the success of its subcompact Horizon. Plymouth's profile with American drivers was raised slightly during the 1980s due to the popular Voyager minivan. However, the company's vehicle lineup was beginning to show its age, and by the end of the decade, it was no longer a full-line make.
Prior to merging with German automaker Daimler-Benz, Chrysler was planning to revitalize the Plymouth brand by introducing an influx of new models. However, the German side of the partnership wasn't particularly interested and when the new century arrived, Plymouth's lineup dwindled to just five different models. In 2001, the still newly formed DaimlerChrysler decided to call time on the Plymouth brand for good.
Plymouth Models
The Plymouth Voyager was originally a name given to a rebadged variant on the full-size Dodge Sportsman van. However, in its other incarnation, the Voyager was one of the most successful minivans of all time. Introduced in 1984, the Voyager helped define the entire minivan class before it was discontinued in 2000.
The Grand Voyager was introduced three years after the Voyager as a long-wheelbase variant of the original. It was also discontinued in 2000.
In 1996, the Breeze was introduced as a midsize four-door sedan. The Breeze was the last midsize model produced by Plymouth and was discontinued in 2000.
The Neon was a compact model introduced in 1995. The front-wheel drive Neon was available as a four-door sedan and as a two-door coupe. After Plymouth's demise, it survived for a time as the Chrysler Neon.
The last new model sports car to bear the Plymouth name, the Prowler, was introduced in 1997. Its retro look was meant to recall the glory days of the 1950s hot rod. However, while the Prowler was retro inspired in appearance, the vehicle itself was modern and powered by an overhead-cam V-6.
Plymouth Recap
While the Plymouth brand may not have lasted, Plymouth earned a deserved reputation for producing quality, reliable cars that were affordable for most Americans. It is a testament to the quality of the brand and the cars it produced that thousands of Plymouths remain on the market as viable used car options today.
Plymouth Acclaim
1995 | Midsize, Sedan
The Plymouth Acclaim is a midsize sedan that sports three engine sizes, namely the 2.5-liter, the 2.5-liter turbo, and the 3.0-liter that pair with various transmission options including the five-speed manual, the three-speed automatic, and the four-speed automatic.
Plymouth Breeze
2000-1996 | Midsize, Sedan
The Plymouth Breeze is a four-door midsize sedan that offers only one trim and entered the vehicle market in 1995.
Plymouth Grand Voyager
2000-1995 | Minivan/Van
The Plymouth Grand Voyager saw production from 1990 to 2000.
Plymouth Neon
2001-1995 | Compact, Coupe, Sedan
In 1995, the Plymouth Neon entered the market as a compact car with a sedan or coupe body style and three different trim levels.
Plymouth Prowler
2001-1999, 1997 | Convertible, Sports
The Plymouth Prowler, an extremely cool looking car, debuted in 1997.

Leon (Nicaragua)
Ooaj Travel Guide, tourism, hotel reservation, residence, plane, cheap pension for you holidays in leon (nicaragua)
Free Travel guide Ooaj.com A free travel guide for holidays. Hotels in leon (nicaragua), Bed and Breakfast!
León is in Nicaragua.
Leon is named after Leon, Spain. After independence, the elite of Leon and Granada struggled over which city would be the capital. Leon was dominated by the liberals and Granada by the conservatives. The fighting ended when Managua became the capital.
After Granada, which is better preserved, Leon has the best colonial architecture in Nicaragua. It is a university town that stubbornly remains somewhat pro-Sandinista. During the 1979 revolution, the Sandinistas took over Leon in violent street by street fighting. Somoza then had the city bombed! An unforgivable move considering he was bombing his own people. The National Guard took Leon back over, again in street by street fighting, but this time less intense since the Sandinistas melted away. Finally, the Sandinistas took Leon back over and held it until the Somoza government fell. You can still see bullet marks on some buildings. Also, there is a shell of a church on the road out of town that some people say was destroyed during the bombing. Across the street from this church is the Museo de las Tradiciones (Museum of the Traditions), which prominently displays a statute of a Sandinista guerrilla holding a handmade bomb. Some sarcastically call it the Museo de las Traiciones (Museum of the Treasons) as a reference to how the Sandinista rank and file has been cheated by Daniel Ortega and the rest of the Sandinista elite.
Leon used to be the hub of cotton growing but that has declined. The economy is relatively depressed. Tourists are not very visible in Leon. Leon still is a university town, filled with students. Backpackers, Volunteers and other extranjeros usually melt with local students.
Leon has more colonial churches and cathedrals per capita than any other place I have been to. If you are still on the church tour, there are thirteen, I think, you can check out in town.
Get in
By plane
Nearest commercial airport is in Managua.
By car
Just about anyone in Managua can tell you how. The Carretera Vieja to Leon (old road to Leon) is in the best shape it has been ever. It's about 90 kilometers from Managua. About a 90 minute trip. Stop for Quesillo and tiste in Nagarote or La Paz Centro.
If you are coming from the carretera norte, take the turn north of Matagalpa and save yourself the trouble of going through Managua.
By bus
from Managua take the bus leaving from mercato israel levit or the microbuses (camionetas) leaving from UCA (universidad centroamericano). the bus should cost 25 cord. if you take the bus, make sure to get an expreso bus - otherwise the bus runs over the carratera vieja, which takes one hour more. greedy bus drivers don't tell travellers that they are on a slow bus!
theres one bus from esteli, if you miss it, you've got to change in san isidro on the panamericana.
the bus terminal is about 2 km northeast of the center, take on of the trucks waiting in front of the terminal - which serve as local buses (3 cord) - to the center.
Get around
The city is very walkable if you can stand the heat. Unlike Managua, the locals get around by bicycle and walking.
ruletos (trucks) serve as local buses. (3 cordoba per ride)
The Cathedral of Leon is the biggest in Central America. Some say that it was built that large by mistake, when plans that were meant for Lima, Peru, were mistakenly sent to Leon. It is also the final resting place of Ruben Dario.
Quetzaltrekkers Nicaragua offers non-profit volcano Treks. They are located just around the corner from ViaVia and Big Foot.
Take advantage of the beaches of Poneloya and Penitas nearby. Penitas is less of a town than Poneloya with less activities. Be careful once there though, not of the people who are just as friendly as in Leon, but of the surf. The waves are large and quite fun, but watch out for the undertow. The surf claims a few victims every year, including the young and fit. There are accommodations from hotel Lacayo, old and historic, all wood structure, to Hotel Poneloya, a crash pad w/ a/c across the street that has uncomfortable beds and no windows for about $20 dollars a night (they built some new rooms which I did not look at), to the nice beachfront Hotel Suyapa Beach which is where you should stay if you have the money (still less than $60). Besides hanging out at the beach, there's a billiard hall popular with locals at the end of the paved road in Poneloya (though at night it gets a little rowdy as locals get drunk on Lijon - cheap sugar cane liquor), restaurants, and lots of Flor de Cana rum. There is also a Catholic Church in Poneloya in case you need to make atonement for what Flor made you do. Buses depart from the road to Poneloya on the outskirts of town (by Subtiava), they are quite affordable. Splurging on a taxi is also an option. The beaches are less than 20 kilometers away.
Catch a baseball game if you are there during the season. The Leones won the championship in 2004 and are perpetual contenders. For fifty cordobas you can sit right behind home plate, or pay less for 3rd base side where the lively crowd sits with the unofficial band. Order some vigoron, get a Victoria and enjoy. If Chinandega is visiting, it can get quite rowdy and tickets sell out. The stadium is in the northern part of the city.
Visit the Museo Ruben Dario. Pick up some of his poetry (Azul is a good beginning).
For the best view over the city and the volcanos, go to "el fortin", an old Somoza stronghold southwest of Leon, best reached from Subtiava. It's a 20 minute walk, ask locals for directions.
Spanish at one of the schools.
There are free-of-charge volunteer opportunities with Quetzaltrekkers (http://www.volunteer-nicaragua.org) an organisation raising money for street kids by offering hikes to volcanos around León. You can volunteer as a hiking guide for a minimum of three month.
Las Tias - the supported organisation - also takes volunteers, taking caro of the streetkid, with a two month minimum.
Queso ahumado (hard, salty, white cheese that goes great with tortillas or bean soup).
Comedor Lucia, next to the Big Foot Hostel offers great food for 1-2 dollar. They are closed at night. A branch called comedor Lisetta is on Avenida Ruben Dario, open in the evening.
Cocin Arte is a great vegetarian restaurant. Take about 4 dollar for a meal and a drink.
Los Pescaditos, located in Subtiava, is worth the cab ride (less than 10 minutes from Cathedral). You should check out the Subtiava Church on the way back to walk off your meal.
Payitas, El Sesteo during the day. Don Senor, Dilectus or La Calabiza at night.
ViaVia got live music every friday (follow the crowed when it closes at 11 pm - it's still a hostel, with tired travellers...). El Divino Castigo (3 blocks north of parque central) got live music every tuesday. La Esquina del Movimiento (one block eastof the above) got spanish alternativ movies allmost every thursday, and often live music on saturdays.
There are about 10 other hostels and hospedajes in Town.
Los Balcones, on the corner down the street from the Supermercado Colonia, is a nice hotel that is a splurge only by Nicaraguan standards.
Stay safe
Leon is - by central american standards - a very save and comfortable town. in the city center is save to walk home even at 3 am.
Get out

I just read this wonderful book review of Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth.
Then I read the reviewer, Molly's other insights about the book. She says, " In the opening chapter, they identify a concept that I have *felt* for some time, but hadn't really put a finger on. The authors refer to it as a "climate of confidence" and a "climate of doubt." I love this way of articulating the messages swirling around pregnant women in our society."
I think this is wonderful observation as well. I also think it is one of the great things about Hypnobabies, it helps mothers develop that climate of confidence within themselves. In the Hypnobabies Yahoo Group they are surrounded by other women who have that same positive attitude. This has helped encourage mothers to make more empowered choices during their births. They refuse to buy into the climate of doubt that is so pervasive in the birthing world right now.
Thanks for the great review and insights Molly!

Justice Biographies
Justice Timothy Edward Howard
(Forty-third Justice)
Justice Howard was born on January 27, 1837 in Northfield, Michigan, and died July 9, 1916 in South Bend, Indiana.
He attended the University of Michigan from 1855 to 1857, but received his degrees, an A.B. in 1862, an A.M. in 1864, and an Honorary LL.D. in 1893, from the University of Notre Dame.350 He left school in 1862, shortly before graduation, to enlist in the 12th Michigan Infantry. During his Civil War service, he was wounded at Shiloh and was discharged because of a disability. Howard then returned to Notre Dame to continue his studies.351 He was admitted to the Indiana bar in 1883. He held a variety of public offices, including Inspector of Schools in 1858, and served several terms between 1878 and 1913 as South Bend City Councilman. From 1879 to 1883, he was also the St. Joseph County Clerk. He was an Indiana State Senator from 1887 to 1891, and from 1888 to 1891, he was also the South Bend City Attorney. He served on the Indiana Supreme Court from 1893 to 1899. Later, he was the President of the Indiana Fee and Salary Commission and a member of the Commission for Revising and Codifying the Laws of Indiana.352
He began his professional career teaching in public school and was a professor of rhetoric and English at the University of Notre Dame, but he taught a variety of subjects including mathematics and astronomy.353 He apparently the left the university for a short period, indicating to the Reverend Father Sorin, the Founder of the University, in a letter dated January 22, 1867 that "as a college, Notre Dame is not successful." In his opinion, it was at best a prosperous high school because it required the instructors to teach too many disparate subjects. He later returned to teaching at Notre Dame and must have had a lighter teaching assignment because he was able to find time to read and practice law. In later years, he was a law professor, and during his time on the Indiana Supreme Court, he was an adjunct professor for a course on the appellate jurisdiction of the Indiana Supreme Court.354 In 1898, he was awarded the Laetare Medal, a prestigious award for catholic laypersons given by the University of Notre Dame.355 The Laetare Medal goes to an American Catholic distinguished in literature, science or art.356 His publications include: History of St. Joseph County, Indiana (1907), Excelsior (1868), History of Notre Dame, 1842-1891 (1895), Laws of Indiana (1900), Indiana Supreme Court (1900), Musings and Memories (1905).356

We had some great entries this week that we couldn't run, either because they weren't sized right or had nothing to do with theme. Just to be clear, when the next theme comes out the old theme is offically over. Please don't send in more submissions for old themes. It makes up feel bad when you send us stuff and we can't post it up so please read the guidlines below:
- The size formatting is 600 pixels in width OR length - if they are bigger than this they will not be posted. So if you have a long skinny one, please make sure it is not over 600 in length or we will not be able to see it well.
- Name your submission your first and last name. Example: john_doe.jpg
- Include the words "Fecal Face" somewhere in the art so we know you created it (please do not to add it in later with Photoshop).
- One submission per person by Friday at 12pm PST.
- If you have a website (or two) please specify which one you would like me to link in the body of your email. Also, let us know where you're from!

Dodgers place Hairston Jr. on DL
Los Angeles, CA – The Los Angeles Dodgers placed utilityman Jerry Hairston Jr. on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a left groin strain.
Hairston was batting .255 with a homer and five RBI in 20 games for the Dodgers this season, his second with the team.
To fill the roster spot, Los Angeles has recalled infielder/outfielder Elian Herrera from Triple-A Albuquerque. Herrera was posting a .250 batting average with the Isotopes, while driving in 16 runs in 27 games.

As prez of SouthWest Writers, my wife and I represented the organization at an awards banquet for high-school journalists who won in a writing contest.
I had never eaten at Los Equipales (a relatively new, old Mexican restaurant in Albuquerque), so I was eager to give it a try. I had the $10 tacos: 3 soft tacos with the fillings slightly more substantial than a stain on the tortillas, a couple of spoons of Spanish rice, and a demi-tasse sized container of beans. My first comment was, "I won't be able to eat ALL of this!"
The food being old Mexico-style, it was not very spicy (bland in my thought), so I got my emergency stash of crushed chiles from my truck and spiced things up a bit.
Then when I got home I had a sloppy joe sandwich.
My wife said she heard about a husband who ordered some extra rice to help fill him up. They charged him an extra $3.50.
I'm figuring on three things:
1. Once everyone eats there once, they won't eat there twice.
2. The owner is trying to make his profit on skimpy servings.
3. We won't be back, nor are a number of other people.
Two good things, though: I didn't have to pay for it, and it was mediocre enough, it might have been a good thing there wasn't very much of it.
But the local newspaper and the local classical station continue to talk it up. Go figure.


text: Hi, I'd like to give a client access to all the sites under his directory. However, when i assign an FTP user in ISPConfig - it just assigns the UID on a per website basis. Eg. UID - Web1 GID - client1 But, what if the client owns web1,web2,web3? When they try to navigate to other sites under their client dir with 1 FTP account, they just get blank FTP response 226 and i'm not familiar enough with nix to correct it. Edit: I want to give them access to /var/www/clients/client1/ Not just /var/www/clients/client1/web1 Simply changing the directory under the FTP-user screen doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks

Since 2007 all licenses and permits have been issued via the computerized Integrated Electronic Licensing System (IELS), either at license agents or via the Division's license Web site.
Licenses, permits and stamps which were originally printed on a home computer (e.g. fishing license) can be reprinted for free using the license Web site.
Other lost licenses, permits and stamps can be replaced at any license agent or by using the license Web site. Licenses and permits with a harvest stub cannot be reprinted at home.
If there is a harvest stub associated with the license or permit, a customer is limited to purchasing a duplicate license/permit at a license agent or on the Internet sales site TWO times only. Any subsequent duplicate license or permit must be obtained in person at the Division's Central or Southern Regional Offices, or the Pequest Trout Hatchery and Natural Resource Education Center. It is advisable to phone the office first to ensure staff is available to issue the license/permit.
Duplicates and records of licenses issued prior to the IELS are not available. However, hunters may be able to obtain a duplicate Hunter Education Card(s) depending on when originally issued. See the Duplicate Hunter Education Card page for details.

Located in The Westin Bayshore Hotel, Seawall Bar & Grill offers breathtaking views from their patio where you can relax and enjoy one of their many signature cocktails and eat from their menu of West Coast inspired pub faves.
I ate here June 5/08 while staying at the Bayshore. I had a cobb salad that they custom made for me without a blink of an eye. It was the most tasty and satisfying salad I've had in a long time and well worth the price of $15.00. I also indulged in dessert; warm baked granny apple with dried cranberries in a filo pastry cup, it had a few raspberries, blueberries and a strawberry.
This was the best dessert I think I have ever eaten. I would go back just for dessert. Mmmmmm
The prices were a little on the high side, especially for me, but the food and service was well worth the price. The service, well it was just outstanding, my server was friendly, helpful and very attentive. I have not been anywhere that all the staff were all so happy and friendly. It is obvious they enjoy their work and are treated well by their management.
The view was terrific, serene and relaxing despite the rain. I look forward to going here again when the weather is nicer so I can enjoy sitting outdoors on the deck. Hopefully by July we'll have summer weather!
The weather was great, the service wonderful and the seafood salad was to die for. We sat outside on the west patio looking at the water you could not ask for more. The server was attentive, bring free refills of ice tea as needed usually without request. The seafood salad had scallops, prawns, salmon, halibut on a bed of assorted greens. You could pick the dressing from the many they have. Then dessert, oh boy it was great. I would go back in a heart beat.
my family and I frequent this place....almost religiously because of its excellent service, food and ambiance. The servers have always been really amazing and welcoming mainly because everytime we go, there have been very few diners. Makes you feel as if you were eating at a $1000/plate restaurant. Extensive wine list and very helpful sommelier. Recommend you calling the restaurant a day in advance to ask for a personal favorite unless its a Dominus 1999 Napa Valley - trust me, they dont have it and I doubt many do by the way. Right on Coal Habor, you have a maginificent view of of the marina and the water front. Recommend either going for lunch or an early dinner. Lastly, amazing crab cakes and their lamb shanks superb.
