There are several questions relating to George D. Winter which still need to be answered.
- Who were his parents?
- Where in Scotland was he born?
- When did he arrive in the USA and which port of entry?
- When and where did he become a naturalized citizen?
- When and where did he marry Jenne and what was her maiden name?
- Where was he buried?
- Was there an obituary for him in any NYC newspapers?
- What can be found in his probate records?
- Was a civil law suit ever filed against the rail road on behalf of his estate?
- What can real estate property deeds tell me about him? When did he purchase his home in New Rochelle?
- Where did George D. Winter work? Are there any employment records?
Birth and Parentage
This will probably remain a mystery until I can track him from his naturalization and immigration records in the USA back to wherever he was from in Scotland. The only information as to his place of birth is Scotland with an approximate year of birth of about 1836.
On reviewing the indexes for the various censuses in Scotland as found on Ancestry.com, two people named George Winter with year of birth in the 1835-1837 year range were found in the 1841, 1851 and 1861 census indexes. One was located in Dundee, Angusshire and the other was located in Kirriemuir, Forfarshire. In the 1861 Scottish census index, the one residing in Kirriemuir had the name of George D. Winter. This is the only occurrence where the middle initial of "D" was shown for either entry. Could this be the right George D. Winter?
On the other hand, George worked for a Scotish firm that was headquartered in Dundee. So, could the other George Winter in the 1861 Scottish census have been him? There is no way right now to determine one way or the other whether he is the George D. Winter found in the 1861 Scottish census. See the Employment section below for further information about the firm in which he worked.
Additionally, on searching the International Genealogical Index – British Isles (IGI) at FamilySearch.org, a George Duke Winter was found who had been christened 22 NOV 1834 in Kirriemuir, Angus, Scotland, and who had parents named James Winter and Elizabeth Duke. Could this be him and/or the second George D. Winter as found in the Scottish census for 1861? Only time and further research will tell.
May 2011: On a search of the newspapers found at Old Fulton Post Cards, I came across a eulogy for George Winter in the New Rochelle Pioneer. In the eulogy, his friend wrote that George "... was well acquainted with the father of James Barrie, the novelist, and knew the latter when he was a boy — as they were living in the same village." [Source: The New Rochelle Pioneer, published February 9, 1902; eulogy submitted to the newspaper by William K. Palmer.]
WOW! This is the first clue that I have found concerning his place of origin. According to Wikipedia, John M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan, was born in Kirriemuir, Angus, Scotland. Assuming that what Palmer wrote in the eulogy was correct, then the George Duke Winter found in FamilySearch.org's IGI is indeed the same George D. Winter who died in January 1902 from injuries in the train collision in the Park Avenue tunnel.
FamilySearch.org's web site has also been adding to their site an index of Scottish Parish Records. According to one index record for George Duke Winter, his parents were James Winter and Elizabeth Duke. I've requested the microfilm from the LDS FHL so that I can view the actual baptismal record for any additional information including the names of any siblings.
If George's marriage record in New York City to Jennie is ever found, it may either corroborate this birth location and parentage or refute it.
Next Steps:
- Review the microfilmed Scottish Parish Records for Kirriemuir at an LDS FHL Family History Center.
- Contact the NYC Municipal Archives and see if a marriage record for George and Jennie can be found.
Immigration to USA
According to the 1900 Federal Census, George D. Winter arrived in the USA in 1861. Assuming that he arrived in the USA at New York harbor, CastleGarden.org web site would have the index for the time period. However, very little information is included in their index so it is difficult to rule out anything found there. Using the Castle Garden web site, a search for a George Winter from Scotland and from Great Britain between the years 1820 and 1870 resulted in zero hits for both locations. The same search for England turned up the following two entries:
Last Name First Name Age Sex Arrival Date Place of Last Residence Winter George 18 M 13 Jun 1857 Winter George 4 M 5 Apr 1834 BERKSHER
Of the two above, the 18-year-old is a possibility. My next step will be to obtain a copy of the actual manifest to see if it includes any additional data of interest. Of course, this assumes that he arrived at the port of New York. It is also possible that he could have arrived at any of the many other ports along the eastern seaboard of the USA.
However, it appears that George D. Winter was shown in the 1861 Census for Scotland as living in Dundee. Therefore, he would have immigrated to the USA at a later date. Further research needs to be done to locate his immigration records. And, of course, he could have arrived in the USA in one of the many cities other than New York City.
According to the 1870 Federal Census, George D. Winter was a naturalized citizen. So his naturalization would have to have occurred prior to 1870, assuming that the census entry was accurate.
As for his naturalization, a search of the indices for New York City located on Italiangen.org's web pages did not turn up anything. Of course, they don't profess to have transcribed every record. Additionally, a search of the online index of naturalizations in Westchester County which is on the web site of the Westchester County Archives contained no one with the name of George Winter.
In the 1870 Federal Census he was living in Bayonne, Hudson county, New Jersey. It is also possible that any naturalization papers could have been filed in that state. In writing to the County Clerk's Office of Hudson County, New Jersey, I was told that they had no naturalization record for George Winter or George Winters.
Next Steps:
- Look at Footnote.com and Ancestry.com to see if they have anything for his naturalization.
- A further look at naturalization records in New York City should be undertaken.
He and Jennie married about 1865. This year of marriage was based on the number of years they had been married (35 years) as shown in the 1900 Federal Census. Perhaps locating Jennie's death certificate may be of help. At least it would identify her maiden name.
May 2011: In searching Old Fulton Post Cards again for Jennie Winter, I found that additional newspapers had been added and one contained an obituary for Jennie Winter which gave her maiden name as Wright.
Next Steps: Obtain a copy of her death certificate to corroborate that her maiden name was Wright. Then search newspapers of the time period to see if any notice of marriage was listed in a newspaper.
Notes: The vital records index for New York State is located at several repositories within New York state, the nearest to me is the National Archives in New York City. Since she died in Westchester county, her death certificate would have been filed with the state. [For additional repositories holding the NYS Vital Records Index, see the Upstate New York Genealogy Blog at: http://www.unyg.com/blog/index.php/2008/02/how-to-obtain-copies-of-vital-records-for-genealogical-purposes-in-upstate-new-york/]
In trying to find George and Jennie's marriage record, a search at the New York City (NYC) Municipal Archives will need to be made. According to their web site, they hold marriage records for Manhattan for the following time periods: June 1847-1848; and July 1853-1929.
So far, no obituary has been found for George D. Winter. A more extensive search of NYC newspapers at the New York Public Library, Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, will need to be done. This library has both a finding aid on their web site and an alphabetic listing of the NYC newspapers held in their microforms room. Included in that listing is a Scottish American Journal for the years 1865 to 1925, which I plan on reviewing to learn if George D. Winter may have been mentioned in this publication.
Also check the New Rochelle newspapers at both the New Rochelle Public Library and at Old Fulton Postcards web site. The Library at the New-York Historical Society also has a large collection of newspapers including those for NYC.
According to the death certificate of George D. Winter, he was supposedly buried in New Rochelle, NY and a newspaper mentions "Green-Wood" as the cemetery. Could they mean the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn? If so, that cemetery has a database of their interments online but George Winter did not show up in the online database. Another possibility was the Greenwood Union Cemetery in Rye. However, on emailing them, they responded that they did not have him interred in their cemetery.
As of February 2011, I have not yet contacted each of the cemeteries located in New Rochelle to inquire as to whether or not he is buried in any of them. Further research will need to be made.
May 2011: In searching Old Fulton Post Cards again for Jennie Winter, I found that additional newspapers had been added and one contained an obituary for Jennie Winter which stated that she had been buried in Beechwoods Cemetery in New Rochelle. However, on calling that cemetery, I was told that they had no record for either Jennie or George Winter.
Next Steps: It is also possible that his wife Jennie was also buried with him when she died in 1917. A search of the NY State vital records index will turn up the death certificate number. An application to New York State for her death certificate may then identify the cemetery in which Jennie Winter was buried. [See information above under Marriage heading for information on locating her death certificate.]
So, back in November I sent an email to the Onondaga Public Library requesting that they conduct a lookup in the NY State Vital Records Death Index for the number of Jennie's death certificate. They must have been busy as they overlooked my request completely. I recently sent them a followup email asking how long it usually takes so that I could have a realistic expectation of the timing. They were very nice and apologetic for overlooking my initial request and provided me with the certificate number for Jennie Winter. But, as life is pretty hectic for me right now, I will have to delay requesting the death certificate from NY Dept. of Health for a month or two.
Additionally in November 2012, I contacted the George Davis Funeral Home in New Rochelle and asked whether or not they handled George Winter's burial. I received an email from the firm's general manager stating that he would try to look into my request. I recently followed up in January 2013 and inquired whether or not the firm had any chance to look into the cemetery location for George Winter. The general manager of the George Davis Funeral home wrote me in February 2013 and provided the names of cemeteries for those people from the train collision for whom the funeral home had records. Unfortunately, George D. Winter was not one of them. Curses! Foiled again! Oh, well, back to basics!
A search of the probate files at the Westchester County Archives needs to be made. Did he leave a will? What will the Estate Inventory papers tell me?
A review of the index for the Surrogate's Court files held by the Westchester County Archives revealed that no will had been filed. Copies of the index cards for this record group were also found on microfilm and viewed at a local LDS Family History Center.
Because George D. Winter died intestate, the Letters of Administration for George D. Winter were assigned to his son, William J. Winter, with full power of attorney to administer his assets. Also shown in the Estate Inventory papers located at the Westchester county Archives were the addresses of Jennie Winter and her two sons. Frederick was living with his mother in New Rochelle, while his brother William was residing in New York City. Little additional information was found in the Estate Inventory papers.
Civil Law Suit
So far, only a search of newspapers has been made regarding the lawsuits and the following article has been found about a lawsuit filed on Winter's behalf.Winters Heirs Get $15,000
The New York Central Railroad Company has settled the claim of the heirs of George D. Winter, of this city, who was killed in the tunnel accident, by the payment of $15,000. Mr. Winter was seventy-one years old.
Source: New Rochelle Pioneer, published 14 Jun 1902.
What court records would be available, if any, of this settlement? Further research needs to be done. Also, will need to check court records at the Westchester County Archives.
Next Steps:
- A more extensive search of NYC newspapers at the New York Public Library, Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, will need to be done.
- Go to Westchester County Archives to search court records.
Land Deed
When did George D. Winter purchase his home in New Rochelle? When was it sold? I have never researched land purchases within Westchester county so this may be another opportunity to fill in any gaps in research.
Next Steps: Learn where deeds and property transfers are held for Westchester county, New York. I've looked at the Library Catalog for the LDS Family History Library and saw that both the Grantor Indices and Grantee Indices are availabel on microfilm at LDS Family History Centers. I'll have to request the microfilms and review them.
According to the Census, George D. Winter was employed as a dry goods importer in the 1880 Federal Census and an importer of linen in the 1900 Federal Census. How can I find out where he worked?
On searching Google, an entry was found in The Trow (formerly Wilson's) Copartnership and Corporation directory of New York City, Volume 49, page 133 (published by Trow in 1901), stating the following:Duncan James & Co. (Dundee, Scotland) (George D. Winter, N. Y. manager) 89 FranklinCould this be my George D. Winter? Another similar entry was found in a Trow corporate directory (page 349) published in 1890. Further research into this James Duncan & Co. will need to be done before I can determine whether or not this is a viable lead.
After placing a query about this company on the Angus (Forfarshire) Message Boards at Rootsweb, some one responded referring me to the Clan Duncan web site and a page about "The Duncans of Jordanstone & Drumfork." Not sure that it is of any help as I still don't know what that firm does. Have also emailed the clan inquiring as to whether or not they know what the firm of James Duncan & Co. of Dundee did and whether there might be any employee records available.
Meanwhile, a search on Google.com has since turned up a web link to the following directory found at the Internet Archives:Handbook of European Commerce: What to Buy and Where to But it; Being a Key to European Manufactures and Industry For the Use of Purchasers and Merchants Seeking Direct References for Business Purposes. . ., by George Sauer [London, England: Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, and Rivington, 1876].On page 70 [page 118 of 526] of the directory I was able to learn that the firm of James Duncan & Co. was a manufacturer and exporter of linen. So, this confirms what was found in the Trow city directory for NYC and that this is the same George D. Winter! Yipee!

I'm pretty pleased with how my Publishers Weekly feature on reactions within the science fiction publishing world to Dave Itzkoff's new SF column for the New York Times Book Review came out (and while I'm at it, props to Gwenda Bond of Shaken & Stirred for her article on the mainstreaming of fantasy). But, as with any story, the research phase turned up way more material than I could possibly fit into the finished piece, and I was particularly sorry to lose this quote from Pyr editorial director Lou Anders:
"I think science fiction needs to quit apologizing for not being sugar-coated, consolatory, easily-digestible pap. Science fiction is the genre that exists to examine the impact on society of technological evolution, which means, in this decade of exponential technological growth, it is poised to be the most relevant branch of literature going. You can't build a future you haven't imagined first, and if you're going to denigrate the people in our culture who have the most far-reaching imaginations, it's shooting yourself in the foot."
While we're on the subject of lost material, I did a lot of poking around the idea of small presses running a sustainable business on smart science fiction, a theme which quickly dropped away from the main story. But I wanted to do something with the thoughtful comments SF pros gave me on the subject, so after the jump I've dropped a couple grafs that may interest you.
In a recent essay for Asimov's Science Fiction, Norman Spinrad cited Pyr, the SF/fantasy wing of Prometheus Books, as a small imprint which could dedicate itself to "science fiction written specifically for experienced and intelligent readers of science fiction" and, because of its low overhead, make a comfortable profit even with small print runs aimed exclusively at such a limited readership.
Tor senior editor David Hartwell challenges the model. "Does Pyr publish better books than Tor?" he asks rhetorically. "I don't think so. In fact, many of the books they publish are things we rejected—not because they were bad, but because they weren't as good as what we had. There's a lot of that around, and Pyr has particularly bought British books that fell through the bottom of the market here even though they were pretty good." (One such book is River of Gods by Ian McDonald, an acclaimed writer from Northern Ireland whose work has been out-of-print here in the U.S. for way too many years; I got a copy last week, and I'm dying to crack it open.)
Turning to other English-speaking nations for new science fiction is also the strategy taken by BL Publishing, an independent publisher specializing in movie and roleplaying game tie-ins, which recently announced plans to launch Solaris, a imprint dedicated to original SF and fantasy, in 2007. Vincent Rospond, BL's sales and marketing manager, says Solaris will draw upon midlist SF writers from America as well as Britain, and even seek out works in translation, explaining, "We can make a smaller print run make more money for us than Simon & Schuster or Random House can. You have authors who may be at the low end at some of those publishers who would be a priority for us. It's just a matter of economics."
"We're not a huge conglomerate, so we don't need enormous numbers," Pyr's editorial director, Lou Anders, concedes, "but I disagree with Spinrad that there's a ceiling." Jill Roberts, the managing editor of Tachyon Publications, a small San Francisco press, shares Anders's enthusiasm about SF's potential to reach beyond its core audience. "We're finding that if we're putting out the right books, and we're publicizing them and we're passionate about them, we absolutely have both a genre audience and a non-genre audience," she says. "It's not the 'throw 100 books against the wall a season and see what sticks' approach."

It is as epic as it is arresting. With a gentle whirr, thousands of white feathers are blown into the air in a vast clear space where they proceed to toss and tumble like snowflakes.
The man-made snowstorm is the opening work in a new exhibition that tackles a subject over which poets, philosophers and painters have obsessed for countless centuries: nature.
And perhaps nowhere more so have they done this than in Japan. From haiku to the tea ceremony, the quest for harmony between humans and all-powerful nature has been a theme that has long resonated throughout Japanese culture as well as the Shinto belief system.
The new exhibition "Sensing Nature: Rethinking the Japanese Perception of Nature," at the Mori Art Museum, is an attempt to offer a modern-day perspective on the forces of nature in a technology-weighted 21st-century world.
Among the strongest features of the exhibition is the careful curation of only a small selection of works by three creators — Tokujin Yoshioka, Taro Shinoda and Takashi Kuribayashi — enabling each work to appear on a more epic scale than space might normally permit.
Testimony to this is the opening piece, "Snow," by the designer Tokujin Yoshioka, who is usually referred to by his first name only. Standing at one end of a vast, white empty space illuminated with a wall of white light is a 15-meter-wide clear container, inside of which up to 400 kg of feathers are churned into the air every few minutes by a fan, before settling again as gently as snowflakes.
Describing his work, Tokujin says: "I first created a similar piece in the window of an Issey Miyake store in 1997. But since then, I've always wanted to do something on a much larger scale.
"This is not about replicating nature. I'm not trying to re-create nature. What I'm trying to do is explore how nature affects people and what moves people."
The designer's exploration of light and textures is taken further in a piece made from crystal — which was grown organically over the previous year — and two others constructed from optical glass normally used in space-shuttle production.
"Waterfall" sits in a small, white, brightly lit room of its own, and is a long narrow cut of optical glass whose shimmering light-refracting texture is as dynamic as fast-flowing water despite the solidity of its structure.
Peering playfully into one end of the artwork, Tokujin adds: "This is the biggest object in the world you can make with this material.
"I like translucency. I like the light that goes through it. A clear material can become a distinct object when light passes through it."
The atmosphere changes instantly upon encountering the work of Taro Shinoda, as Tokujin's white minimalism is replaced by a galaxy-dark room with a vast three- walled video installation.
Against a humming electronic soundtrack, the three screens flicker with footage of urban Tokyo — crowded crossings, empty parks, subway escalators — offering glimpses of nature (sometimes via crowds of people, other times via a tired patch of grass between buildings).
Inside the screens is a small room containing "Model of Oblivion," in which a visceral red liquid is clinically pumped across "white cliffs," creating a vision as sinewy as human muscles on a white table.
Explaining his approach, Shinoda says: "In my mind, waterfalls are connected to oblivion. When I stare at a waterfall, I go into a daze and forget reality. But the essence of myself is always there, even when I forget everything. I tried to express that here in an abstract sense."
His final piece can be smelled before it is seen. Inspired by Tofukuji Temple's Hojo Garden, the artwork "Ginga" — meaning Milky Way — is set in a peaceful futuristic-style room and consists of 50 plastic bottles continually dripping milky white water from the ceiling into a still round pool (the sweet smell is caused by the bath salts used to create the milky effect, according to the artist).
Entering the world of the final artist, Takashi Kuribayashi, involves a further shift in tempo — as well as the lowering of heads — with a work made entirely from a mix of traditional Japanese washi paper and tree pulp.
In an atmospheric exploration of the boundaries of life above and below ground, visitors walk into a space beneath a low ceiling of organically curved and flowing paper.
It is only by sticking heads through a handful of small cutout holes — just like an insect sticking its head out of the ground — that the view above unfolds: a beautiful forest of white trees.
The theme of boundaries takes on a different role in Kuribayashi's final piece: Against a wall of windows, several wooden yatai (portable food stalls) constructed by the artist are on display, each as independent and inviting as little houses, complete with the odd pot plant and mismatching stools.
Meanwhile, a screen shows a film of Kuribayashi and friends taking one of the yatai on an unlikely journey to the borders of North and South Korea, charting their encounters along the way.
"My work is about boundaries," says Kuribayashi. "For me, nature is a power that can be terrifying and overwhelming. We are a small part of this.
"When a human being stands with nothing before him, there is a distance between him and others. This yatai helps break down such boundaries."
From snowstorms to the milky way via underground forests and wooden stalls, there is one certainty amid the contrasting works at the Mori Art Museum: Visions of nature can be as singular and open to interpretation as they are imaginative.
"Sensing Nature: Rethinking the Japanese Perception of Nature," at the Mori Art Museum, runs till Nov. 7; admission ¥1,500; open Wed.-Mon. 10 a.m.-10 p.m. (Tue. till 5 p.m.). For more information, visit www.mori.art.museum/eng

Play on Friday was highlighted by a strong defense and goal keeping, and just enough scoring to post 1-0 wins over Livermore and Dublin. The first match started with fairly even play on both sides, but midway through the first half, freshman midfielder Brookey Villanueva found the net on a shot from 20 yards out, putting Amador ahead, 1-0. Working various different lineups and positions, Coach Steve Boehm was able to keep the defense tight, and Amador closed it out.
In the second game the Dons were challenged early but settled in when sophomore forward Sarah Pease beat the keeper on a breakaway run, finishing off a beautiful through-ball from the midfield. The defense again closed down Dublin's offense and completed its second shutout.
On Saturday the team heated up on offense, scoring two goals within the first two minutes during their first game against an over-matched Antioch squad. Anna Copenhagen, a sophomore midfielder, directed a nice cross into the back of the net on the opening kick-off, followed 90 seconds later by an excellent 12-yard finish from freshman midfielder Eilis "Irish" Hagerty. The team added three more goals during the game -- two from freshman offensive midfielder Nicole Tsuno, who, along with Eilis Hagerty in the middle, looks to be a catalyst for the Dons this year. Sarah Pease also connected on a score, and the team coasted to a 5-0 win.
The Dons were more challenged in their second match vs. a fast and well-coached Northgate team, but the defense held firm once again, lead by Katelyn Kramer, Ally Nickel, Bridget Beck, Kate Chase, Rachel Barta and Sara Gibbons. The Dons scored two more goals in the final match, the first an impressive run by Sarah Pease between defenders and an in-stride shot past a diving keeper in the final seconds of the first half. The second came on a glancing, re-direct header combination from Copenhagen to Pease just before time ran out on the 2-0 victory.
The Dons staunch defense completed the weekend with an impressive zero goals allowed, allowing only a few quality shots along the way, which were handled easily by GK Janelle Richmond.

This paper is a report of a qualitative work done in a course that was chosen to be my Community of Practice (Wenger, 1998) for one semester in a western Canadian University with my participation as an international exchange student as participant-observer.
The main purpose of the study is to examine through grounded theory, obtained from different data sources, how cultural differences in a multicultural Community of Practice (COP) were influencing participation and non-participation, how the negotiated relation between them were shaping dynamics, and dynamics were shaping participation and non-participation, in order that some of the COP member's voice could be heard.
With eight members in the COP and the professor; seven cultures were represented within these nine persons. Interviews, observations, field notes, a journal, and postings were the sources from which the data were collected, analyzed, and codified. Cultural differences and participation were the main themes obtained as a result of the analyses. Participation, interaction, class organization, and a professor-centered class were further discussed as main topics that emerged from the grounded theory.

A single-beam photothermal-lensing technique to study interfaces is presented. By analysis of the reflection from a quartz–solution interface with a low-power laser in a single-beam configuration, a photothermal signal is detected. The data were fitted with a conventional thermal lens model, and the results show that the optical element formed at the interface resembles an inverted thermal lens.

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Eleven mosques across Britain have been attacked since the killing of a British soldier in London last week, hacked to death by two men shouting Islamist slogans, and attacks on Muslims have soared, according to Faith Matters which monitors such crimes.
Against this backdrop a simple story of courage has emerged. I'd hesitate to call it conflict resolution English style, but it did involve tea.
When supporters of the far-right English Defence League called for a demonstration outside a small mosque last Sunday in York city, some 175 miles (280 km) north of London, worshippers emerged to offer the protesters cups of tea, and then invited them in to play football.
"Some people went over with cups of tea and biscuits, they were talking for about 30 or 40 minutes and then they came inside, which was a really, really beautiful thing," the BBC reported Imam Abid Salik as saying.
Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu said the mosque's response was "fantastic".
"Tea, biscuits and football are a great and typically Yorkshire combination when it comes to disarming hostile and extremist views," he said.
In the end, only six people turned up to protest, and more than 100 supporters of the mosque also showed up, including local Anglican priest Tom Jones, who said the worshippers showed great moral and physical courage.
"I think the world can learn from what happened … on Sunday," he was reported as saying.
Local councillor Neil Barnes was also present. "I don't think I'll ever forget the day that the York mosque tackled anger and hatred with peace and warmth – and I won't forget the sight of a Muslim offering a protester tea and biscuits with absolute sincerity," he was reported as saying.
Lee Rigby, the 25-year-old soldier, was killed with a meat cleaver and knives near Woolwich Barracks in southeast London on May 22.
Witnesses said his attackers told bystanders they were acting in revenge for British wars in Muslim countries.

Welcome to the WeRelate virtual genealogical community. Here we can learn from each other, work together and find what we need to make our research easier, more rewarding and fun.
You can create a free homepage, Surname in place articles and Personal research pages. Surname in place articles are the next generation in message boards: they can be organized and edited. When you create a Surname in Place title on your home page, the link will appear in red. Click on the red link, enter a message and save. (Creating a title for the page is not enough, your cousins can only search for pages with content.) Personal research pages are password protected wiki pages: visible to the community but editable only by you. We now have a 10 minute video tutorial/tour for people pages. You can also check out person and family pages (all you do is fill in the blanks), annotated pictures, and pedigrees with color coded migration maps.
If you are new to Wiki's, you may wish to check our many help and tutorial pages. Or, you can select edit on any page to see how the formatting commands are used.

Family Tree Explorer
We just launched a early release of the Family Tree Explorer. In case you'd like to try it out, I've taken the pages that you've created and added them to a tree called "mytree". So when you launch Family Tree Explorer, you should be able to click on File then Open to view your tree. I'd be interested to get any feedback you have. We're going to be working on it intensely over the next several weeks, so this is a great time to have some input into how it will turn out.--Dallan 23:34, 20 January 2007 (MST)

Halfway through the 2012 professional golf season, the year may well be designated as Tiger Woods 2.0. For the first decade of the 21st century, Tiger dominated golf in a manner unlike any professional golfer in history. He won 12 major championships and was PGA Player of the Year eight times. These accomplishments occurred despite his limited play during his 2008 and 2009 seasons while recovering from a knee injury. Late in 2009, Tiger suffered a far greater injury than his knee, an injury to his reputation after news of marital infidelity and sexual escapades surfaced.

Now I'm not a huge poutine fanatic but I do enjoy eating them like everyone else who loves fries. I was excited to try Smokes Poutinerie when I heard that we were getting out first location here in Vancouver. Their store is located on Granville St. next to Harvey's and when I walked in with a friend for lunch it was empty. Maybe the location isn't the most obvious since it's easy to miss.
All their poutines are $7.99 and they have a lot of toppings like steak and pulled pork and chicken etc. I noticed that the Pulled Pork, Double Pork and Triple Pork were all the same price! Being the pulled pork fan than I am, I decided we had to get the Triple Pork! This includes Chipotle pulled pork, double smoked bacon and Italian sausage. Do you feel your arteries clogging yet?
We were NOT expecting this mountain of toppings! O.O We couldn't even see the fries… The pulled pork had a mild sweet flavour to it and then everything else was just salty. Since there was a lot of toppings the fries underneath got a soggy and we had to get through the pile of meat before we could see the fries. There were plenty of squeaky cheese curds though! This was just one enormous portion and I don't think I could've finished it by myself. At least it looks like you get your bang for your buck.
Thankfully we also got a Pop Shoppe rootbeer to wash away the saltiness!
I liked that they had a variety of toppings but I also didn't like the soggy fries. It would probably still be satisfying if you had a massive craving though.

With the Tour de France almost within touching distance of us, the whole of the Eastern region will have benefited from the television coverage worldwide, which showed off our towns, villages and countryside to best effect.
This interest may mean new business and jobs, so we need to be thinking about our infrastructure once again.
Richard Fuller MP and myself are joining forces with Jonathan Djanogly MP, together with councillors and councils, to urge greater consideration of the dualling of the A428 from Caxton Gibbet to the Black Cat, and to think more long term about related transport issues, from the A1 to rail.
We expect 20,000 new homes in the Bedfordshire/Cambridge corridor, and moving people around will be key. Already our unemployment is low – last month JSA claimants in my constituency fell to just 1.7% of the workforce, with better job chances for both older and younger applicants – but if this is to continue, we need not only jobs here, but the ability for people to find them within easy reach.
Roads attract a lot of attention. The A1, with its roundabouts almost uniquely placed in Bedfordshire, causes frustration. Beeston is cut off from Sandy. I think a chance was missed many years ago to re-line it, but I cannot see that is an easy option now, and there would be much opposition to a new route.
HGVs at New Road in Sandy should not cross the road, campaigners are right about that. But I worry about the right of any vehicle at all to cross the A1 through the gaps in the road. However I'm told there is local demand for cars crossing. Is that right? One day a car nipping across is going to be caught in the middle of the road.
Black Cat's current repairs are only a plaster over a wound – and I have no illusion that they are the final article. It must become grade separated as soon as resources allow.
Transport has played a role in Bedfordshire's past.It is likely to be more important to our future.

For any fellow remote mobile research nerds, this is huge news. The upcoming spec for WebRTC that allows peer-to-peer video and eventually screen-sharing is working on Android and iOS in development versions of FireFox. What this means is that in the near future apps like, ahem, ethnio, will be able to easily allow for webcam and screen-sharing right from the browser. No more external plug-ins or Java or Flash stupidity. Well, on cool browsers. Suck it, Microsoft and your proprietary use of WebRTC.

Barring unexpected developments, the Kerry exit leaves only Gore and former New Jersey senator Bill Bradley to battle out the Democratic nomination in a relatively gentlemanly manner. �Both candidates hold similar views on the issues,� says Tumulty. And neither is intent on splitting the party -- particularly when it appears that Republicans will be the ones most in need of stitches this time around. The GOP lineup of candidates keeps growing monthly, and the gap between conservatives and moderates, particularly following the divisions exacerbated by impeachment, still needs to be bridged. �For Republicans,� says Tumulty, �the presidential race will be as much a struggle for the direction of the party as for the nomination.�
Democrats for 2000: And Then There Were Two
Political humorist Will Rogers used to joke at the beginning of the century that he belonged to no organized political party -- he was a Democrat. At the century�s end, the Democratic party seems anything but disorganized. One of the last potential spoilers for the 2000 presidential race, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, announced on Friday that he would not run.�That leaves Jesse Jackson as about the only wild card left,� Says TIME White House correspondent Karen Tumulty, �and at the moment he doesn�t look particularly wild.� The betting is that Jackson will sign on with the Al Gore campaign. Aides of the vice president believe that Jackson would be helpful in getting black support for Gore, says Tumulty, �particularly in the South, where getting the black vote may be Gore�s only chance to score victories in the region.�

TAMPA — Berkeley Prep coach Randy Dagostino isn't sure if it was the close call in their last match or just the overall desire to get back to the state volleyball semifinals, but his Buccaneers appear to be a team in a hurry.
Berkeley Prep used its combination of strong hitting and athleticism Saturday to sweep Melbourne Central Catholic 25-6, 25-14, 25-21 in the Class 3A region final and move on to state final four in Lakeland against Miami Florida Christian at 4 p.m. Friday. For the Buccaneers (27-2), the win sends them to their 18th state semifinal. Berkeley Prep has won 12 state titles, but none since 2003.
"This feels great, but it would feel even greater if we finish the job," Dagostino said. "This is a special group. They have great chemistry and a lot of contributors. We have different talent spread around."
That versatility was on display against MCC (19-11).
The Buccaneers smashed MCC 25-6 in the opening game as hitter Chelsea Parker had four kills. Middle hitter Lindsay Young then had five kills in Game 2. MCC tried to combat the Bucs' big hitters with dink shots over the front line and even led 16-15. But the Bucs went on a 10-5 run to finish things.
Parker, Young and freshman hitter Jordan Burgess each had 10 kills in the match.

Upper St. Clair, Whole Foods not considerate of residents
We received a bulk mailed flyer May 28 which was sent by "USC Families for Food Fairness." The flyer named, with photos and addresses, three people that this group claims are supported by Giant Eagle in their current fight over the Whole Foods project. They seem to be inviting harassment of these individuals who are exercising their legal rights. Interestingly, this flyer did not contain the names, addresses and photos of the people behind this attack or identify their supporter.
When Consol moved from their building and no one was found to occupy the space, the property was most certainly going to be sold to a developer. A developer's job is to develop and make a lot of money. The township commissioners' jobs are to be politicians and bring in a lot of money to the township, $1.4 million per year for this development, according to the flyer. The residents' job is to try to protect their property in Upper St. Clair, where they are located with high hopes of a quality life experience.
We do have an interest in the project because we live on Fieldgate drive, sharing our back yard with the development. According to the blueprints at the township building, the edge of our deck (not the property line), is three inches or 150 feet from the planned 16-foot high retaining wall behind Whole Foods. Although "26 percent" of this development is green space, there is not much in our neck of the woods. We have not felt at a loss for food opportunities with Fresh Market, Trader Joe's, the Giant Eagle and Giant Eagle Express, Target's large grocery department and the small but unique Uncommon Market.
We are anxiously awaiting the "17.5 percent" increase in our property value as set forth in the flyer so that we can move and settle someplace where residents receive more consideration.

Misleading Information
Posted by iHerb Customer on Mar 25, 2016 | Verified Purchase
I received my bottle today and the ingredients on it are completely different from the ones listed on this site. Instead of "Organic aloe vera leaf, wild pansy extract (viola tricolor extract), green coffee bean extract (coffee arabica bean extract)," as the first three inactive ingredients, the new first three inactive ingredients are "Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract[NOT ORGANIC], Glyceryl Stearate, Safflower oil." I would give zero stars if possible. I have not tested this product yet. This review is based solely on the misinformation and the obvious downgrading of ingredient and formulation quality.
Is great as sunscreen for kids
Posted by FancyBeauty on Jul 02, 2012 | Verified Purchase
Usually I'm trying to avoid walking with my child during the hours of high solar activity. But there are times when we linger and this sunscreen has proved that it really great one. Has the same ingridients as sunscreen for kid has. And do protects wonderful. Обычно я избегаю гулять с ребенком во время часа пик солнечной активности. Но часто бывает, что мы задерживаемся. В таких случаях этот санскрин доказал, что он хорош. Состав такой же, как и у санскрина предназначенного для детей. Также хорошо защищает кожу от солнца.
Awesome sunscreen!

This is one of my favorite sunscreens. This one smells like tropical fruits! It leaves a tiny white cast for maybe 2 minutes but it goes away. This one is great because it's non-greasy and doesn't break me out. I used it when I lived in the Caribbean and it provides excellent protection. I highly recommend it.

Good All Natural Sunscreen
Posted by iHerb Customer on Oct 16, 2011 | Verified Purchase
I bought this because I wanted spf protection that was all natural vs commercial brands that are loaded with toxic chemicals. Rubs in pretty good considering it's a natural sunscreen (I've had other be like white paste - this product is not). Along with pleasant smell, it seems to give good protection from sun with general/normal sun exposure since my skin is not as red after sun exposure as it was when I used Alba natural sunscreen. Not giving it 5 stars because I haven't put it through intense & long sun exposure yet.
leaves my skin white.

it's good product, making my skin moisturized. but, after this my skin looks funny... too white....

Revisiting Mean Reversion in the Stock Prices of Nine Transition Countries: Threshold Unit Root Test
In this study, we use the threshold unit root test proposed by Caner and Hansen (2001) to re-investigate the time-series properties of stock prices for the nine transition countries during the 2000.10 to 2010.11 period. The empirical results from our threshold unit test indicate that the null hypothesis of I(1) unit root in stock prices can not be rejected for any of these transition countries, with the exception of Estonia and Latvia two countries. Our results highlight the efficient market hypothesis does hold in these transition stock markets, with the exception of the Estonia and Latvia two stock markets.

Kuster does $360K
New Hampshire Democratic congressional candidate Annie Kuster turned in another impressive fundraising quarter, again taking in about $360,000 during the last three months for her campaign against GOP Rep. Charlie Bass.
That number comes close to duplicating the $365,000 in receipts the progressive activist took in between April and June.
"Congress is broken and our message is loud and clear. Thousands of supporters and donors are telling Congress - we need a new approach to put our country back to work and reclaim the American dream," Kuster will say in a statement to be released Monday.
She takes approximately $590,000 into the final quarter of the year and the campaign reports that 89 percent of the money was raised from individuals and 73 percent came in amounts of $25 or less.
Bass has not yet released his third quarter fundraising totals.

The Laws of Subtraction
Matthew E. May (McGraw Hill, $24)
In an age of information overload and too many choices, author Matthew E. May applies Occam's razor — the simplest answer is often the best — to innovation. His study of businesses large and small shows that less often yields more. Here are May's 6 Simple Rules as applied by businesspeople:
1. What isn't there can often trump what is. As CEO of Behance, Scott Belsky developed the LinkedIn of the creative world. Its mantra: "When you reduce the number of doors that someone can walk through, more people walk through the one you want them to walk through." Useful triumphs over abundant.
2. The simplest rules create the most effective experience. Intuit's development teams are never larger than the number of people who can be fed by two pizzas. Brad Smith, Intuit's president and CEO, says the two-pizza rule "allows members to stay nimble and reach decisions quickly."
3. Limiting information engages the imagination. Scott McCloud, who wrote the Zot! Comic strip, knows you can pack lots of content into a few panels. That content engages the audience — and makes them think. The fewer the panels (or slides in a presentation or words in a speech), the greater the audience focus on meaning. Various perspectives and ideas come to light when the audience discusses the content.
4. Creativity thrives under intelligent constraints. Framing the issue or problem properly reveals the creative thinkers in the room. It also energizes them. NASA's Mars Pathfinder mission went from concept to touchdown in less than 44 months — and, at $200 million, it cost less than the Hollywood blockbuster Titanic.
5. Break is the most important part of breakthrough. Steve Jobs and a small team developed the Mac far from the Apple campus. Not constrained by the corporate hierarchy and bureaucracy, the thinkers could tinker.
Break also deals with thinking. Divergent thinking always creates more alternatives and solutions. Apple, a computer company, revolutionized the music and phone industries.
6. Doing something isn't always better than doing nothing. People need work-life balance to maintain their energy. Boston Consulting Group found that teams that took "predictable time off" fared better than those that didn't.

In sports, the MVP award recognizes the player who did the most for the team. The authors take a slightly different view: The Most Valuable People create other MVPs by helping others reach their goals and realize their potential.
The authors' study of people who enjoyed their work and found it meaningful showed that they valued the following traits: supportive/helpful, straightforward/clear, hardworking/ambitious, cooperative, honest, loyal, fun-loving/friendly and family focused. Clearly, these traits speak to a shift from what's in it for me to contributing to the success of others in ways that they notice.
Salespeople sell solutions and value, not products; so must MVPs. And like a salesperson, an MVP needs to know the customers. Each has various needs, wants and hot buttons.
Of their suggestions, I found No. 5, "Start where you are," particularly important. You have to be really good at what you do before others will have confidence in what you bring to them.

Course to get new management, new name
Changes are coming to Sawmill Golf Club, just not the kind that were long rumored.
The Nicholson family, which owns the course and has leased it for 30 years to a group led by Dan Pohl, will allow the lease to expire at the end of October and turn course management over to a Wayzata-based company.
"On Nov. 1, we'll be owning it and I will hire a manager to run it," said Marian Nicholson.
"It's going to be run by the family. It will continue to be a golf course," added Howard Nicholson.
The Nicholsons said Northco Golf and Hospitality Co. has a five-year contract to manage the course. The company currently manages more than 120 golf courses.
The Sawmill management change does not affect Logger's Trail Golf Course, also run by Pohl, according to Howard Nicholson.
Northco President Frank Jermusek said the company is excited about Sawmill's future.
"There's an incredible amount of potential at Sawmill," he said. "It's a great piece of property."
The property was so attractive Nicholson said rumors started that his family was going to sell the 140-acre course to a developer.
"A lot of people are under the understanding that this is going to be a housing development," he said.
Jermusek added that a golf publication mentioned the possibility of Sawmill's sale to developers.
"The fact of the matter is the family has no intention in selling it for development. Right now, there are no plans to do anything like that," Jermusek said.
The only immediate change planned at Sawmill is changing its name, according to the Nicholsons and Jermusek.
"It's no longer going to be named Sawmill. We're pretty sure we know what we're going to do, but it's not official," Marian Nicholson said.
"I would say it would be a couple of months before you hear what the name is," Jermusek added.
Other than rebranding Sawmill, Jermusek said Northco will take a more long-term approach to changes at the course that include clubhouse improvements such as a kitchen and dining facility.
"It will be a full-fledged golf course and he wants to enlarge it (clubhouse) and bring in food service," Marian Nicholson said.
Sawmill was constructed 40 years ago by Marian Nicholson's husband. Pohl and three partners leased the course for 30 years before the two groups agreed to let the lease run out Oct. 31. Jermusek said Northco had been contacted by the Nicholsons earlier this year about managing the course.
"They approached me probably about nine months ago. I know they talked with a number of management companies nationally," Jermusek said.
Marian Nicholson said Sawmill has seen large numbers of golfers play the course this season.
"Every day this summer when I drove in here there wasn't a place to park," she said. "People were penned up earlier this year and ready to play."
Jermusek said Northco wants to build on Sawmill's popularity among St. Croix Valley golfers.
"It's going to take a couple of years to bring it up to a high standard," he said.
Marian Nicholson is confident in Northco's plans for the soon-to-be renamed Sawmill.
"It's going to be a golf course you can be proud of," she said.

Daily dose: Local history, Koch brothers, Mike Thomas in Springfield, possible drinking problem, Rodney Davis and Ann Callis
Local history
In 1913, sometime last night or this morning a miscreant entered the Col. Wolfe School house and turned on the water, which flooded the building with the exception of the seventh room. The water was turned on in the boilers, and after they were filled, was forced into the radiators. On account of the air valves being open, the water ran into the rooms and and there was several inches on the floors. Studies resumed at the school this afternoon.
In 1963, Illinois legislators arriving on the University of Illinois campus this afternoon will discover many changes since their last biennial visit here in 1961. The lawmakers will be entertained at a 7 p.m. dinner in the new Illini Room of the addition to the Illini Union and at a luncheon Friday at the new Assembly Hall. A narrated bus tour of the campus will start at 10 a.m. Friday and end at noon at the Assembly Hall.
Scary newspaper owners?
From Crain's Chicago Business ...
"Why is the City of Big Shoulders so afraid of the Koch Brothers?
"We've been here before: Just about 30 years ago, we showed Rupert Murdoch and his Wingo game the figurative door. He was soon rid of the Sun-Times, and Chicago was well rid of him. We were actually quite snooty about it, collectively showing him that this was a town that took its journalism seriously. No Page 2 girls for us, thank you very much.
"It's telling, then, that Mr. Murdoch, the Australian media baron once much mocked here by columnist Mike Royko as "the alien," is now seen as a more preferable steward of the Chicago Tribune than these murky conservative brothers — aliens from Wichita — who seem more entity than individual. (For instance, do they even have names?) (They do, David and Charles.)
"Our snootiness this time seems much more wan and hollow than it did in 1984, when the Fields of department store fame sold the Sun-Times to the interloping Australian. So why, then, are we so afraid of a couple of reactionary rich guys from Kansas?
"In part, we're still brutalized by the poker party in Col. McCormick's office and other Sam Zell-spawned antics with the Tribune (that whole bankruptcy thing, for one). If you'll remember, when we last found ourselves tied to these railroad tracks, we Big Shoulderans begged Mr. Zell to buy Tribune Co. as a way to fend off the evil Los Angeles syndicate. Oh, for another taste of those problems!"
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20130425/OPINION/130429886 On the road with the UI's Mike Thomas From The State Journal-Register ... "The University of Illinois is in the very early stages of what's planned to be a three-year renovation of 50-year-old Assembly Hall. By the end of this week, Athletic Director Mike Thomas hopes to gauge the response of basketball season-ticket holders and I-Fund donors to an informational brochure that was mailed out almost a month ago.
"But Thomas is confident that donors will come through with 75 percent of the $160 million price tag for the project called Illinois Renaissance. If he needs any reassurance, he can look at nearby Memorial Stadium and the suite-filled west tower — completed in 2008 for about $120 million.
"'We're in uncharted territory in the Assembly Hall,' said Thomas, who was the featured speaker at Wednesday night's Springfield Sports Hall of Fame induction banquet. "But it's a familiar situation for the people who were on the staff when the west tower went up.
"'Based on what they've told me, and based on who we've reached out to, we're probably in about the same place. And that's a good thing. That was a successful project with a lot of people involved who made it become a reality.'"
A drinking problem
From the Daily Pantagraph ...
"BLOOMINGTON — An Ellsworth man on his way into the McLean County Law and Justice Center to dispute a drunken-driving charge came to the building intoxicated and struck a court security officer during a struggle for his car keys, police said Wednesday.
"When officers questioned Michael D. Schroyer, 48, about his alleged unsteady gait and asked if he had been drinking, Schroyer responded, "Hell, yeah. I drink every day," according to sheriff's police reports.
"An account of Tuesday's incident by a sheriff's deputy indicates Schroyer struggled with officers as they attempted to take his car keys before he could leave the parking lot on the west side of the courthouse. During a struggle with police, Schroyer was pushed to the ground and suffered facial injuries, said a report.
"Once at the jail, Schroyer allegedly refused to provide a breath sample to officers.
"'The last time I did that they told me I had so much alcohol in my blood that I should have been dead. I think that machine was wrong. That's why I'm here today. I am going to fight it. I got a hell of a tolerance, I guess,' the officer quoted Schroyer as saying. Schroyer's comments reportedly were about traffic citations issued in March charging him with drunken driving and illegal transportation of alcohol.
"A report of the March arrest indicates that Schroyer's blood alcohol content was 0.336, more than four times the legal limit for driving."
Rep. Rodney Davis a "Patriot"
As I reported Wednesday, http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2013-04-24/tom-kacich-judge-poten... 13th Congressional District Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Taylorville, may face Madison County Chief Judge Ann Callis in next November's general election.
From a press release ...
Champaign, IL – U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) this week was named to the National Republican Congressional Committee's "Patriot" program. The program, chaired by Reps. Reid Ribble (R-Wis.) and Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), is a goal-oriented program to help Members stay on offense and fully prepare for their re-election campaigns.
"The goal of the program is to help hold me and my campaign accountable for the next 18 months and make us better prepared for 2014," said Davis. "This is truly a 50/50 district. More than $9 million was spent on this race last fall and I've already been named a top target by national Democrats for 2014, so we know it will be a fight again and I welcome the challenge."
Through a number of Member-based communications, fundraising and strategy goals established at the beginning of the cycle, the program helps to ensure that its members are ready to run well-funded and organized campaigns against their Democratic opponents. Davis was one of 11 Republicans named to the program this week.
"Our Members in the Patriot Program have proven that they are ready to run aggressive, organized campaigns," said NRCC Chairman Greg Walden (R-Ore.). "House Republicans have a plan to grow our economy naturally and organically, while Democrats are still focused on the old, failed Washington policies that are hurting job growth. I am proud of our members for working so hard to protect American families and small businesses."

North Park Jack in the Box court case surprise
"I am not going to subject my clients to abusive depositions by Mr. Briggs."
Dorian Hargrove 1:15 p.m., Sept. 25
Typically, I plan out where I'm going to eat and what I'm going to write about in advance, but every now and then, a dining experience is such that it merits a write-up even if it wasn't premeditated. In the best cases, this is when something's so incredibly good that I simply have to shout it from the rooftops so others can enjoy, but sometimes it's the opposite. Such is the case with this post, which was inspired by a meal shared with a fellow journalist last week at UTC's recently installed outlet for California burger and craft beverage chain, Eureka! Gourmet Burgers and Craft Beer (4353 La Jolla Village Drive, University City) at Westfield UTC Mall.
When I get together with my writer friend, a fellow craft beer enthusiast, we always look to check out a new brew-centric place. I had been hearing great things about the beer selection at Eureka for weeks, so it seemed the perfect place for us to catch up over dinner and a brewskie or two. On arrival, looking at a nicely appointed contemporary space with ample seating indoors and out, as well as a friendly atmosphere and, as billed, a really nice craft beer and brown spirit selection (for the former, there were beers from Southern and Central Cali that I've never seen offered in San Diego—very cool), I was patting myself on the back for making such a seemingly great selection. Had we only had a drink, I'd have left with but one complaint, which I'll get to soon. Unfortunately, we decided to have dinner as well, and that was where the negatives arose.
To start, we ordered two appetizers—fried green beans and corn dog lollipops. The latter weren't my choice. Corn dogs are mighty tasty, but I try not to order them at restaurants as they're usually marked up to prices that make them hardly a wise fiscal choice. Also, they're usually store-bought and/or plucked from a freezer. I can say with certainty that the one's at Eureka! come from the icebox, because the lollipop I sunk my teeth into (a sliced segment of an everyday hotdog encased in a thick layer of varyingly golden fried cornmeal) was still cold. And not "stone cold" as TV chef Gordon Ramsay would petulantly holler to an underperforming chef…ice cold.
Burgers are enduringly popular. I've consumed a great many in restaurants in the past few years. To break up the monotony, I stay on the look-out for good veggie burgers. On this occasion, I allowed my alternative lunch-style wild hair to guide me and ordered their Maui Wowi Burger with a "San Joaquin" veggie patty in lieu of beef. I also "upgraded" from standard fries to their sweet honey cinnamon sweet potato fries. I should have known better. Sweet potatoes are sugary enough on their own. The honey takes the sweetness way too far. But the toughest thing to get past was the heavy dusting of grated cinnamon applied by someone with the enthusiasm of the confectionary sugar shaker at Café du Monde.
On to the burger, or lack thereof. If you look at the Locations page on Eureka!'s website, you'll see a photo of the veggie burger. It's literally beet red and as thick as any large meat patty you'd expect from a place with "gourmet" burgers. Mine was so thin that I at first mistook it for a layer of ketchup. That sounds extreme, but it was barely over a fourth-of-an-inch thick. Made of beets and black beans, it tasted bland except for heavy-handed sweetness. Worse yet, it had a super soft consistency and was so crumbly that, even with two buns to help me out, I couldn't keep it within the confines of the sandwich.
I tried the beef patty as well and it was fine. At least it came with regular fries (which, in keeping with the best of Eureka! were only OK) and some ketchup. I received zero condiments nor the offer to get me any. It's part of a burgeoning trend that makes me wonder how much restaurants save on food costs when they dole out condiments in small portions or opt not to offer any the way Eureka! does. There's no way some Heinz would have saved my burger, but it would have been nice to have an option as standard as that.
At least there was good beer. I had a taster flight of Epic Sage Saison, Bear Republic Cafe Racer, Ballast Point Barrel-Aged Tongue Buckler, and AleSmith Speedway Stout. The beers were varied and tasted great. But here's what didn't sit well with me. The beers at Eureka! are reasonably priced and can be ordered from the regular beer menu as well as a list of rotating special offerings. The prices on both lists are comparable if purchased by the glass, however, if you want to order tasters of rotating stock as part of your flight, for each you order, you add one dollar to the nine dollar four-taster base rate. If a full pour of an IPA from the regular list costs five dollars and an IPA from the rotating list costs five dollars, why should a customer need to pay another dollar for a four or five ounce pour of the rotating IPA versus the one from the standard list?
While my visit to Eureka! was less than inspiring from a food perspective, it is nice to see legitimate craft beer options in a mall setting. Maybe I caught them on a bad night. Hopefully, I did. Either way, quality beer is being made available, not just to beer lovers, but to those who have yet to be exposed to it, and that is a good thing.
thanks for the warning and you are brave for even going to a mall
I'm just glad to see at least some decent beer options in the UCSD area. For a place that has such a huge concentration of geeks with money to spend, you'd think the area would be crawling with beer places.
It is impossible for any "veggie burger" to be anything other than an F. BURGERS ARE MADE WITH MEAT!!! If you don't like meat, then what's the fixation with "it tastes just like..." (no, it doesn't) or trying to substitute non-meat ingredients in meat-based dishes?
If you want to eat bird food, go for it. But quit acting disappointed that it doesn't taste right.
This would be a valid comment if I had expected it to taste anything like meat, but I didn't. Never do and don't hold veggie patties to that unrealistic standard.

A&M freshman receiver Mike Evans had to sacrifice love of basketball
Receiver focused on game in high school, but now plays for fun
IRVING — Texas A&M redshirt freshman receiver Mike Evans gave up football for two years in high school to focus on basketball before resuming his football career his senior season. Good call.
Evans, 6-5, 218, leads the Aggies with 75 catches and 1,022 yards. He has five touchdowns entering Friday's AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic.
Basketball continues to be a passion. He sometimes plays at the recreation center with quarterback Johnny Manziel.
"Me and him," Evans said, "we're like LeBron and Dwyane Wade."
Evans, out of Galveston Ball, said that after he committed to A&M in football, he received an offer to play basketball at Texas.
"It was tough; I loved basketball," he said. "I stuck to Texas A&M."
Coach Kevin Sumlin said this week that Evans has overcome being banged-up most of the season. For the last half of the season, he practiced only on Thursdays to save his body.
Evans said he's eager to continue improving — ticking off his goals of running crisper routes, getting faster and becoming more durable.
Despite Evans' breakout season, he spoke to the media for the first time only this week because of Sumlin's restrictions on interviewing freshmen. Of course, the players have personal stories that are only starting to be revealed.
Evans, who is actually Mike Evans III, lost his father when he was in the fourth grade. Evans said Mike Evans Jr. was murdered, but declined to elaborate.
He has a tattoo on his right arm in memory of his father.
Adjusting to new play-caller: A&M is adjusting to running backs coach Clarence McKinney calling the plays for the bowl because of the departure of offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury to Texas Tech.
"After seeing what he's called throughout practice and on the fly," Manziel said, "he's been with coach Sumlin a long time, he knows what he's doing. I have faith in him."
McKinney has coached with Sumlin for five seasons. Sumlin attended a media availability for offensive coordinators Tuesday, allowing McKinney more time for meetings and game preparations.
Kingsbury's impact: A&M players revealed that when Kingsbury first met with them after Sumlin's coaching staff was hired about a year ago, he told them they would have the best offense in the country and take the nation by storm. "Nobody believed him at first," senior receiver Uzoma Nwachukwu said. "He was so passionate about it that we took it on." A&M leads the SEC in total offense and ranks third in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Sumlin said Kingsbury cried in the recent meeting when he said his goodbyes after taking the head coaching job at Tech. Sumlin said the players started clapping in support.

BASEBALL: Beavers split with Augustana
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The BSU baseball team earned another Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference split against Wednesday afternoon against Augustana.
The Beavers dropped the first game 5-2 in extra innings before bouncing back to win 4-3 and snapping Augie's nine-game winning streak.
In game one the Beavers trailed 2-1 in the second innint but toed it up in the top of the seventh inning when a fielders choice for Logan Riedel scored Bo Schmitz from third base to make it 2-2.
However, the Vikings won in the eighth with a walk-off three-run home run by Jack Goihl.
Terry Hadden went 6 2/3 innings for BSU and gave up just two runs but Nate Heisick gave up the game-tying homer and took the loss.
Game two went much better for BSU.
The Beavers (8-9, 2-2 NSIC) jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Augie (18-8, 8-2) tied it with a run in the fourth and two in the sixth but Cole Bjorge reached on an error in the seventh and allowed Schmitz to score the eventual winning run.
Jesse Katz earned his first victory on the mound while Ryan Rumpca got the save after facing one batter in the seventh.
