CENSUS 2010

January 21st 2010 20:45


I would like to have this issue addressed if at all possible or necessary: government funding is determined by the census and the 10 questions on the 2010 form do not identify any disability gathering information. If we are not directed to have persons with disabilities respond and be counted. How do our elected officials expect to receive the required funding to allow for a level playing field for persons living with disabilities, if we are not counted?

Someone, I know, has the answer and I know our community did not let this slip pass without it being addressed. Please share with me the answer because I missed it.

Thanking you in advance.

The magic sets in Juana Diaz

Three Kings Day Celebration
Three Kings Day Celebration

Hundreds of people arrived yesterday, January 6, 2010 in the public square of Juan Diaz to celebrate the Epiphany at the Three Kings Day.
Under a drizzle, a colorful parade with three pastors left this yesterday morning to the Museum of the Three Magic in the public square, where Morales Ramos Eusterio Bishop of the Diocese of Fajardo-Humacao celebrated the Eucharist.
At the show, about a dozen communities participating in the parade, singing carols and handing out sweets to the audience, which this year is an amount less than previous occasions.
This is the celebration party number 126, Juana Diaz Reyes, one of the most deeply rooted traditions of the Puerto Rican people and making this town into what they called the Bethlehem of Puerto Rico.
People from different parts of the island have come to Juana Diaz with children to be part of the celebration every year.

Mundillo

November 26th 2009 22:26
I love the art of mundillo making because there is something very tactile, very intense about making mundillo- the skill that makes the sounds of wood bobbins rhythmically ring, the amazement in seeing someone work on a large pattern with hundreds of pins and bobbins. Others are younger artisans who have an entire career of making and teaching before them to generation to generation.

This is a very useful article, except.....

The writer sees this issue through the lens of a parent, not an adult person with a disability

In an effort to reflect the significant changes that have occurred in the nonprofit sector and to address the increased demand for transparency and accountability, the IRS has completed a revision of the reporting form that tax-exempt organizations are required to file each year. Grantees will find this information useful when filing their 990 Forms. The redesigned Form 990 will be phased in over a three-year transition period.

For the first time since 1979, the IRS has completed a significant overhaul of the reporting form tax-exempt organizations are required to file each year. The redesigned Form 990 was officially released on December 20, 2007, approximately six months after the IRS introduced a draft version of the form and solicited comments from the public. Returns filed for the tax year 2007 will still use the current form, with the new form coming into use beginning with returns filed for tax year 2008

Cane Juice

September 19th 2009 14:58
"Guarapo" is the process of pressing the cane into a machine to get the sugar cane juice. In Brazil is called hand press. Garapa (var. Guarapa) is the Brazilian Portuguese term for the juice of raw sugar cane. Also known as "guarapo", "guarapo de caña" or "jugo de guarapo" in various dialects of Spanish like Puerto Rico. Sugar cane juice is obtained by crushing peeled sugar cane in a small hand- or electric mill.
Guarapo Press Mill

The drink is often served cold with a squeeze of lemon (in Brazil, Colombia, Cuba), pineapple (Brazil), passionfruit and ginger. Goya is selling in a can if you will like to try it! Beware before you try it, the guarapo has very high sugar content it is rich in calories. Guarapo juice is the primary source of sugar cane derivatives such as raw sugar (obtained by evaporation and refining), cachaça or "caninha" and ethanol

Dear Friends:
Some people tried to export them to places like Florida which is a tropical place as Puerto Rico; nobody knows why, they don't sing.

It's so beatiful when I call my mother at night to heard the beautiful song of our coquies... makes me feel at home.

Thanks,
Madeline

Hi,
You work is superb, i can't pass by without leaving a note for a compliment. My husband is pisces and I'm a virgo. I don't know if this apply to all but my husband is like the Yin-yang or maybe everything depends on the side of the fish that he is. Anyway, I love Pisces people.

Your topic is a cruel reality that we have to face. The clock is running and we are taking the facts, seriously. It's so sad to know about all those billion dollars that the Bush administration has spent on war which has killed so many thousands of inocent people rather than to look for ways of saving our Earth.

Hi Tracy:
I find it fun! Everybody knows everybody and if you want to have extra fun then you take a boat or airplane to the next island. Every Island has an unique flavor.

Can you please educated me about your country Mauritius? I never heard of it and I would love to.

I usually love vampire movies. However, I can image, how poor it got to be the context of this movie, after reading your reviews.
