Elisabeth's Picks:
Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour-Bookstore by Robin Sloan tells the story of 20-something Clay, recently laid off from his job as a web desginer. Fresh out of college and with only one (failed) work experience on his resume, Clay is getting desperate to find a job when he stumbles upon Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. His ability to climb the ladders that stretch up all three floors of the impossibly tall, impossibly narrow bookstore land him the night shift job. There are three simple rules at his job. 1) Clay must arrive at 10 p.m. He must leave at 6 a.m. He cannot be late, and he cannot leave early. 2) Clay is not allowed to read the books that live on the shelves that stretch up to the ceiling. 3) He must keep a detailed, descriptive account of every customer who walks through the door – normal things like date and time and stranger things like the way they walked and what mood they seem to be in.
Clay is certain there's something else going on at the bookstore, and as he and his friends get drawn in to the mystery, we visit Google Headquarters, a reading room below the subway in NYC, and the greatest independent bookstore ever put to print.
Redshirts by John Scalzi takes the trope of Star Trek "redshirts" and turns it on its head. The trope began with the original series - Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the command wore Blue and Yellow uniforms. When they would go away on missions, the person who died or was grievously injured was always wearing the only other primary color available – red. So "redshirt" became a codeword for someone who was going to die. This hysterically funny science fiction novel takes the idea of expendable redshirts and turns it on its head. The tagline is "They Were Expendable – Until They Started Comparing Notes."

Kiera's Picks:
Dirt by David Mann This psychological thriller is set on a nut farm- both literally and figuratively. Galen, a 23-year-old who has never spent a day away from his mother, Susie Q, longs to align his chakras and experience deep meditations. Unfortunately, his money-hoarding mom, deeply bitter aunt, sexually depraved cousin and poor dementia-ridden grandmother are all standing in his way to spritual fulfillment. When his mother threatens to send him to prison, Galen's last few screws come loose as he comtemplates how far he is willing to go to save himself. This page-turner will lead you into a sometimes comic, sometimes cruel, but altogether unsettling glimpse into a family gone to dirt.
Breed by Chase Novak A wealthy upper eastside couple, sick of failed infertility treatments, ventures to a shady doctor in eastern Europe for a miracle. And it works- they're having twins! But there is a dark, and rather gruesome, price to be paid for their new bundles of joy. This guilty pleasure read is a fun, sick, and twisted!
Timecrimes In this Spanish-language sci-fi horror film, a man accidentally finds himself in a murder mystery and a bit of a time travel conumdrum. Scary, fast-paced, and thought-provoking.
Pat's Picks:
Light Between the Oceans by M.L. Stedman Tom, a lighthouse keeper and his wife Isabel live on a remote island off the coast of Australia and one day a boat comes ashore occupied by a dead man and a crying baby. This couple have been childless for years and Isabel convinces her husband not to report this missing baby. They raise the baby girl, Lucy, as their own but this deceptive act has profound consequences for both Tom and Isabel.
Back to Blood by Tom Wolfe Tome Wolfe's latest novel arrived on Main Street yesterday and what has been said about this book is the author does for Miami what he did for New York in Bonfire of the Vanities. He has created a cast of exoctic characters and a plot that will keep you thoroughly entertained!
No Easy Day by Mark Owen The author gives us a first person account about the planning and execution of Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad. As a reader, you become immersed in the blow by blow description of the assault and amazed by the courageous risks taken by Seal Team Six.
At just before 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 6th, these tech books are not quite available to be picked up. However, these new books are so exciting, that I could not wait to post about them! These new books were selected for every day programs like Microsoft Office and to enchance your skills before you head to the Digital Media Lab!
Look for these books to be on the shelves tomorrow. Make your holds request now so you can be first in line! Look forward to more tech books to be arriving soon.
In the sports world, even the most diehard fans of opposing teams have to tip their caps when a David beats a Goliath. If the Miami Heat wins a championship after assembling a virtual all-star team, there's little interest beyond the fan base. More than 30 years later, however, we all still remember the USA hockey team's stunning victory at the 1980 Olympic Games -- primarily because it was such an unexpected upset.
Major League Baseball's season takes place on an uneven playing field. Some of the small-market, less wealthy teams start the season with no realistic chance of making the playoffs, while other teams are perennially successful. Money is a large factor; in 2012, the highest team budget (Yankees) is almost four times the lowest (Padres). So how do those "poor" teams compete and, in some cases, succeed?
Enter Billy Beane, who took over the General Manager position for the Oakland A's in 1997, after a disappointing baseball career. He saw patterns and potential where nobody else did, and put together a roster of low-budget cast-offs and has-beens that surprised the old guard and created a blueprint that has literally changed the game. The book, and now the film, Moneyball tell his story in a way that even non-baseball fans will appreciate. You may have never visited Oakland, but you'll be rooting for his A's in Moneyball!
I usually take a photo-a-day to post on Darien Libary's social media, but while walking along Main Street this morning, this selection of non-fiction titles caught my eye. Thus I decided to create this booklist so you can directly request these particular titles instead of just looking at a photo!

Ann's Picks:
Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt. This is a wonderfully written book about love and loss . June loves her Uncle Finn who is dying from aids in the 1980's when people did not know much about the disease or were open to different lifestyles. Her mother, Finn's sister, refuses to let her family be around her brother's lover who she blames for giving her brother aids. Uncle Finn and June have a wonderful relationship and June is devastated when he dies. She then meets his partner, Toby, and they form a special relationship to fill Finn's void in their lives. This book also explores sibling rivalry and family dynamics. This is a wonderful read.
Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel. This is the second of Hilary Mantel's trilogy exploring the life of Thomas Cromwell. In this book, Thomas Cromwell is plotting the replacement of Ann Boleyn with Henry VIII's new love interest Jane Seymour. The book chronicles the last nine months of Ann's life and concentrates on her trial and death. This story is familiar to all of us but in Miss Mantel's hand it is a page turner.
Asha's Picks:
Burn Down The Ground: A Memoir by Kambri Crews. Crews tells the story of growing up as a Child of Deaf Adults in rural Texas. She tells the story of growing up with her quiet, loving mother who is working hard to support her family, while her father is an abusive alcoholic who is slowly destroying the family. She struggles to find a balance between the two worlds while trying to find a niche for herself.
ParaNorman by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel. Norman Babcock is not like the other children, in fact, he is reminded daily by everyone around him about how different he is. Norman is able to see and speak to ghosts, fun right? One day, his great uncle Prenderghast informs him that he needs to use his ability to keep the Blithe Hollow Witch asleep. Seems simple, until he realizes that something has gone awry with his plan and now the earth is shifting beneath him. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

Police many times rely on your help to identify and catch accused criminals. Now, another example: two men caught on tape after a vicious beating and robbery on the east end.
The Charleston Police Department has named these men two of Charleston's Most Wanted. Detectives believe these men attacked and robbed another man on Elizabeth Street--just a few hours before they were seen at a bank, trying to use the victim's ATM card.
The pictures were taken on June 10, 2006, just after 6am at the Chase Bank on Washington Street near the capitol. The robbery and beating happened at about 1:30am the same day.
Police say the victim was just walking to his car, when he was hit in the head and knocked out—and his wallet was taken.
The suspects weren't very lucky---after two tries, police say they couldn't figure out the pin.
"To cause someone a lot of pain and discomfort by hitting them or striking them, or knocking them to the ground, dragging them around, or whatever they try to do, just to try to get a few dollars, it really alarms us along with the public," said Detective Scott Dempsey with the Charleston Police Department.
Police say the suspects are likely in their early to mid twenties. One is about 5'6" inches tall -- the other 5'9" tall. Detectives say they're facing first degree robbery charges.
If you have any information about either of these men, call the Charleston Detectives at (304) 348-6400 or 348-6480.

1 year since Metro PCS clerk's murder
Updated On: Jul 20 2014 11:54:58 PM EDT
A somber anniversary passed for family and friends of Shelby Farah, the young woman shot and killed during a robbery at a Brentwood Metro PCS store.
Sunday marks one year since the 20-year-old was robbed, shot and killed as she worked at the store on North Main Street.
On Sunday night family and friends honored her life with a service at Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist Church.
Music filled the room, the color of pink stood out among the pews and a candle was lit. They were little things that all bring comfort and joy in memory of Farah.
"The emotional support -- I can't even describe it. And that's what, besides my other two children, that's what keeps me going," said Darlene Farah, Shelby Farah's mother. "We have to honor her memory and her legacy."
Shelby Farah's brother and sister both got up to share what they knew and loved about her.
One picture shows her cheerleading, students giving a special tribute in her memory.
Not only was Shelby Farah their coach, she was their role model, someone who mentored them about being a good person.
"We need more Shelbys," Darlene Farah said. "We need to teach them about the morals of life instead of gangs and crime. I just want them to know that there is hope."
As she continues to mourn her daughter, Darlene Farah prays that people will hear Shelby's story and honor her legacy. She says Shelby's spirit and a hope for a better future is what gets her through the day.
"The adrenaline, that's what keeps me fighting for changes," Darlene Farah said.
James Rhodes has been charged with first-degree murder in the case. His trial is scheduled to begin later this year. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
Rhodes' attorneys have filed a motion to determine if Rhodes is intellectually disabled. If they find that he is, he would not be eligible for capitol punishment.

Today is Jessica Alba's 32nd birthday, and to mark her big day we are celebrating just how flawless this starlet is. Think about it, have you ever seen her not looking her best? She has the adorable family, the sprawling wardrobe, is a master of Instagram, has the killer bod, oh and she cares for the planet. She's pretty much Miss Hollywood - as Goop-tastic as Gwyneth.
Of course the Alb-ster can take the whole looking perfect thing a tad too far - she told Net A Porter this week that she wore TWO girdles day and night for three months after giving birth to get her beach bod back. Eek!
Jessica is obviously known for her killer abs, but aside from the sit ups what else goes into making her picture perfect. We have rounded up her (less extreme) rules for being a photo ready A-Lister, from knowing the importance of an Instagram filter, to wearing matchy matchy pastels with the fam, to always having leather loveliness swinging from her arm.
1. Become a FROW veteran in New York AND Paris
2. Have Oscar de la Renta, Valentino and more on speed dial
3. Go matchy matchy with the fam and dress for every occasion. 'On Easter you wear pastels'...
4. Know the importance of a designer handbag
5. Never forget to use an Instagram filter - oh and take lots of beach pictures
6. Care for your baby AND for the planet by launching your own 'Honest' lifestyle brand
7. Forget selfies, taking pictures of your sushi and chocolate brownies is WAY cooler
8. Pass on your good genes and take plenty of wholesome family portraits
9. Show off your wacky side on Instagram with unexpected poses
10. Finally, share with the world all of your tips for living the perfect life by writing a book.
Celebrate Jessica Alba's birthday by revisiting her best red carpet looks in the gallery above...

October 6, 2013 Leave a comment
As we all know that Dragon Expedition for Dragon Nest SEA has been renamed to Dragon Fellowship which is a pretty wierd name for it. But CC loves to change the names. Oh well. It has great loots for this raid as you can get Unique grade Heraldries and much more. I have compiled most of the information that Freedom guild has put in the forums and webs into a whole chunk of page so it's more easier to reference. :)

Rewards from the expedition:
Boss Skill Plates:
Manticore Poison Sting, Sea Dragon Ice Flake
Green Dragon Poison Breath
Unique Heraldry Plates:
If you recall when inspecting someone during the pre-expedition patches you would have seen this 4 extra slots which is supposed to be the unique grade stats. Since developers must have thought up of the Dragon Jade concept and this would be the only way to compensate us for the lost in damage when the 70 cap arrives.
- There are multiple stats on these crests.
- Absolute increase in stats value, not % increase.
- 4 Major Categories: Attack type, Defense type, Stats type, Resist type

Oh, Biebs, not again!
Justin Bieber has always made headlines, but lately, the the 19-year-old superstar is making news that doesn't cast him in the most positive light. The latest report: Swedish police discovered a small amount of drugs (reportedly marijuana) and a stun gun on one of Bieber's tour buses. It's the latest in a series of incidents that have plagued the singer throughout the European leg of his Believe Tour. From orphaned monkeys and on-stage spewage, to late-starting concerts and ill-thought-out messages left at solemn historical sites, Bieber isn't doing much to dispel claims he's shaping up to be pop-music's foremost enfant terrible. Indeed, Bieber's 2013 has thus far been marked by one unfortunate escapade after another.
We've rounded up some of Bieber's bigger missteps over the last few months to put this latest incident in perspective. Check out our timeline of Bieber's decidedly un-swaggy 2013 below. READ FULL STORY

Amidst a warm welcome, complete with music and song, Thomas P. Dolan was appointed superintendent of the Great Neck Public Schools at the Board of Education's March 16 public action meeting.
The anger and frustration over the difficulties in resolving the multi-faceted issues facing the two sewage treatment plants on East Shore Road erupted at times during a lengthy and intense meeting run by Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jon Kaiman and attended by the Sewer Advisory Committee...
The Great Neck Community Fund is happy to announce that Brickwell Cycling and Multisports, located at 3 Northern Boulevard in Great Neck, is now the title sponsor of our annual triathlon.

This Wednesday Evening sees an interesting matchup featuring two teams who are both seeking the points for different reasons when Newcastle take on Everton at St James Park and the game kicks off at 2000 GMT.
Over the Christmas period Newcastle have been involved in some dramatic matches and in two games at Old Trafford and the Emirates they found the net six times before losing 4-3 and 7-3 respectively. Indeed Newcastle are going through a very bad spell at the moment and their last 10 game form reads won two, drawn none and lost eight with the two victories coming at home to bottom six sides Wigan and QPR.
Newcastle United can be backed at around 3.30 and this certainly looks to offer some reasonable value as I have them rated at around 2.50. Newcastles home record against teams of Everton's grading reads a very respectable won six, drawn two and lost one. If you do fancy Newcastle to bounce back from their recent poor run then you are certainly best keeping the draw on your side and Newcastle can be backed +0.25 goals at 1.93.
The draw can be backed at 3.50 and given Everton's recent away record this should certainly be given some serious consideration.
In contrast to Newcastle Everton are having a very good season and before this round of matches they are just sitting outside the Champions League places having lost just three games in their last 29 league matches with a record that reads won 13, drawn 13 and lost three.
Everton's recent away form to teams of Newcastle's grading reads won four, drawn four and lost two. Also we can see from Evertons recent general form the draw features prominently and when it comes to the away games Everton have drawn 12 of their last 19 away matches. Everton can be backed at 2.40 and although I feel this doesn't offer massive value both teams recent form just cannot be ignored and if you do fancy Everton to carry on their run of decent form then they can be backed -0.25 goals at 2.04
As far as goals are concerned then we have some fairly contrasting stats when looking at how both sides have performed against similar opposition taking into account both sides previous last 10 respective home and away games against similar opposition Over 2.5 goals has been seen in 11 of the last 20. In general form three or more goals have been seen in six of both Newcastles and Evertons 10 respective home and away games this season. Over 2.5 goals can be backed at 1.81 and this looks to offer some small value.
In other markets Everton look to be the Both teams to score kings at the moment with both teams finding the net in Eight of their 10 away games this season. Both teams to score can be backed at 1.67 and even at this low price looks to offer value.
In summary there is a strong draw bias here especially looking at Everton's recent away form and this looks a solid option at 3.50

Apple updates maps to remove Australia's ghost-city in the desert
As Apple pushes out an update to iOS 6 maps to remove the now-notorious "desert Mildura", I'm going to sound an unusual note of fairness to Cupertino for the mistake. It wasn't actually Apple's fault. It looked bad compared to Google Maps, because the Chocolate Factory has spent an awful lot of money, time and petrol on …
I'm curious who you would imagine responsibility laid with if not the people providing the map and presenting the data to the end user. An entire 'city' located with no visible urbanisation on the satelite image shouldn't even be missed by the automated flag-this-for-human-review check routine.
Re: Interesting.
Same reason that if you put in a zip code it doesn't recognise Google Earth centers you in the middle of the USA.
The mapping is so bad here in "the land above the land of the free" that a local company makes a very good living by driving around following all the roads and addresses and then selling the data to the city/fire/ambulance/police.
Blame blame blame
Rely on a sat nav, even in this country satnav are not infallible.
The weak point of every satnav is not the programming or the the operating system is the brain dead human using it. How many times have drivers followed a satnav yet ignored all road signs, safety advice and got stuck, driven into rivers or canals and even the sea, gone the wrong way, got stuck in tunnels, gone on to railway lines and even frozen rivers?
And yet if they had opened their eyes..... I always carry a map as back up, no batteries to run out and no signal to lose. Don't blame Apple, Tom Tom, Garmin or any of the others, blame the idiot using it.
Re: Interesting.
What if the flag-this-for-human-review check routine decided to use administrative locations as the centre of cities because that worked for everything the humans looked at (such as, for example, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth & Darwin)?
This error just shows that some of the assumptions made during the automated data preparation were wrong.
This case also shows that navigation using maps is only as good as the person using the tool. To get to the mythical Mildura Rural Town, these people had to drive through Mildura proper. If they didn't look at the signs saying "Mildura" and think, "something's wrong here", who is to blame? If they didn't stop and ask a local (say, at a petrol station) for advice, who is to blame? If they then didn't see any more signs indicating the way to Mildura, why did they keep going?
People seem more willing to trust their computers than the physical world around them.
Welcome to the future foretold by The Marching Morons.
Re: Blame blame blame
During a recent closure of a motorway, I noticed a satellite crossed out sign next to a diversion sign. I presume this is to try and convince people to use their eyes and follow the signs and not just follow the satnav!
Re: Interesting.

It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
... despite their datasets being provided for them by other companies.
But even weirder is how the press have raved about Nokia's maps, despite their "Here" service being utterly f*cking useless here in rural Italy.
Google's data still insists that the main road to Viterbo goes through three small medieval towns (including the one I happen to live in) and requires no less than five – count 'em – dangerous hairpin bends, not to mention some godawful junctions. I've seen HGVs trying to squeeze up through the town's very narrow streets (some barely wide enough for a small car) despite the existence of a 12-year-old bypass right there, and clearly signposted.
In fact, the only map service that actually gets my neck of the woods right is, er, Apple. They've even put the correct road labels on the bypass as well. Google's still doesn't.
I guess digital mapping of an entire planet's landmasses is too hard for any of these three to nail it 100%. Gosh! Who knew?
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
If you give us more info about the roads you think google has got wrong we would be able to count the hair pin bends but you haven't so we can't.
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
It is not weird. It is because the idiots replaced a perfectly decent maps app with their own maps app which was pretty bloody obviously a work in progress. If it had been running in parallel then we could have decided for ourselves which app we preferred. But apparently we aren't to be trusted with making our own choices. If you want credit for all the good aspects of a product you also have to take the blame for all the crap. Any other way is just childish.
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
I am guessing he means Viturbo Italy, which his now seviced by the Starada Statale 675, the old road appears to be Viale Fiume which joins to the Strada Ortana with rather nice looking hairpin bend and some picturesque little towns...source google maps, whod a thunk it!
Re: Sean Timarco Baggaley
You obviously didn't read the very first comment, did you?
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak... @ Sean Timarco Baggaley
You know you can submit changes to Google Maps?
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
Apple is going to get no sympathy on here but for most people Apple maps is 'perfectly good' and Google maps is far from perfect either (as others have noted). People assume all was well with Google maps - well the sat imagery seems much older (so dare I say it less accurate) on Google maps at my house, my office and most other places I have compared.
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
Apple get the flak round here because there are lots of Android owners looking to put the boot in for some reason.
Ask an iPhone owner what they like about their phone and they'll show you the apps and features they like using. Ask an Android owner and they'll tell you all the reasons why they think the iPhone is crap.
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
You can get satnav for trucks; they should know about the hight/width/length/weight restrictions of the routes, and should route you along suitable roads, if you've told them about your vehicle.
However, they cost a good bit more, so I'm not sure how many truckers use them instead of car satnavs.
@AC Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
Pah, I like Android because it doesnt get tied to iTunes, it doesnt have an Apple logo.
Oh Fudge
To be truthful, I only went Android because Nokia was looking outdated, WinCE I never liked, iPhones for the fear of turning "Smug".
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
Here here. The guy who got the boot from Apple shouldn't have been the guy who developed the program, but the plonker that decided to pull all rivals' map applications at the same time.
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
But yet here you are not saying a word about the great apps on an iPhone but slagging off users of Android.
For the record, I love my Android phone because of the endless opportunities to customise it, the brilliant PowerAmp app and being able to drag and drop data to the phone.
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak... @ Sean Timarco Baggaley
I submit updates to google regularly, but only about 1 in 3 is actually accepted.
Most relate to 6'6" signage and can be clearly seen in streetview, but it's clear that some Google staff have no idea what that means.
They also don't usually tend to accept updates which say "Oi, you're routing trough traffic down residential roads when it should be using the bypass" (Although they did for the mess around M25J9's staggered ramps)
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
Apple get the flak because they have stuck themselves on a pedestal of never doing wrong and their fanboys promote this to the death. I hate to say it but if Steve Jobs was still around this would never had happened, he would have never let what is still an Alpha version of software be released into the wild.
They deserve everything they get.
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
Hmm, I too looked at google maps and saw a huge motorway like road and thought "That can't be the bypass that Sean Timarco Baggaley was on about, it must be someother road not even visible in sateliite view. Unless Sean Timarco Baggaley hasn't looked at google maps for a while...".
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak... @ Sean Timarco Baggaley
you know they don't take a blind bit of notice if you do?
Re: It's weird how Apple get all this flak...
Ask an iPhone owner what they like about their phone and they'll show you the apps and features they like using. Ask an Android owner and they'll tell you all the reasons why they think the iPhone is crap.
Strange - my experience is the exact opposite of that.
If you prepare food for sale to the public, it is your responsibility to ensure that the ingredients that you purchased are fit for human consumption. Similarly, if you prepare maps for use by the public, it is your responsibility to ensure that the raw data that you purchased is correct.
Re: Responsibility
It has never, in the history of the world, been the map maker's responsibility to get things exactly correct. It is up to the map user to ascertain the veracity of the data on the maps.
Map makers will introduce deliberate errors to detect who is misappropriating their copyright.
Great. Maybe Apple can now instruct their map app that there is a large urban centre called Luton, Beds. (pop. 203,000) just North of London off the M1, replete with international airport, and to stop directing anyone looking for directions to 'Luton' to the tiny village of Luton, Devon (pop. SFA) instead?
What about Oxford Circus?
I looked for directions from Holborn tube to Oxford Circus on Apple Maps.
I now know that there is a Circus centre outside Oxford. Bit far to walk and not what I was after...
No mention of the more proximate alternative at all.
Ever been to Sheffield, Cornwall? Nor has anyone else!
internet mapping
is as accurate as wikipedia. tried the official route to correct an error on google maps - nothing happened. gold standard in the uk is ordnance survey, can also access this via streetmap.co.uk. however translating osgb grid to lat long is complex i believe streetmap can do it though, or a decent gps.
Re: internet mapping
an error on google maps
We have a fucktonne of Google Maps errors around here. Ghost roads that don't exist on the ground but are shown quite clearly on Google Maps complete with names.
Here too.
This afternoon I had to drive a school I had never been to before.
Google maps gave me a great route - except that that last 100 metres or so was a footpath between two houses - complete with anti-bicycle barriers.
The actual entrance was several streets away.
Re: internet mapping
Those are done for copyright reasons.
Makers of maps almost always include fake items like side roads, etc., so that they can check to see if someone is literally copying their intellectual property.
Supporters of FOSS say patents are evil, but copyrights are fine. The truth is that all things, including all forms of intellectual property, are susceptible to abuse.
Get used to it.
Re: internet mapping
Those are done for copyright reasons.
Or in the case I mentioned, not for copyright reasons. Google used local govt map info that includes roads that were planned in the 60s but never built.
Re: Here too.
Don't stop just with the map: look at satellite view and street view. Then you may have spotted the bicycle barriers.
Centre of local council area
It appears Apple Maps has been using the geographic centre of the local council area as the "point of interest" whereas a local council area is an "area of interest" -- not something you can navigate to when they can be enormous in Australia. This is not a single problem, they've stuffed up over this entire continent.
Google Maps handles this far better -- when you search for a suburb in Google Maps it outlines the area, with boundaries, of that suburb.
Apple needs to allow a Google Maps app to replace the Apple Maps app as the default (fully integrated). It is now an essential part of the phone for me, not an added extra.
Re: Centre of local council area
Interesting error. So why did they introduce a new methodology with Australia that isn't even the one they use in the United States? The geographic centre of New York is a traffic centre in Queens, but the "point of interest" you'd expect to navigate to would be something like New York City Hall or possibly Times Square. Both of these are in Manhattan.
Re: Centre of local council area
Depends what data Apple could source for a country & the ability of their people to determine which sources are valuable to real users.
I suspect no locals were employed by Apple to interpret the data. The local council districts will be in some government database of official names. Yay cheap/free names -> GPS coords data. That section of the government database is of little interest to normal people .. but the computer doesn't know that.
Google Maps doesn't display local government areas at all, instead it displays suburbs. Real people use these when describing where they live. Google Maps shows both the area of interest and a point of interest within that area when you search for a suburb. The point of interest tends to be an intersection near the highest density of businesses (ie: the local shops / local shopping strip). Smart. Unlikely pulled from any database, can be inferred by other points of interest already in their database.
For cities (cities with multiple suburbs) Google Maps appears to place the marker at the place road distances are measured to. Usually the original post office for the city (for Australia). In the US that appears to be "city hall".
Re: Centre of local council area
Interesting. That means that the centre of the Rural City of Mildura is 70Km from the real Mildura, isolated, without water and dangerous for non-4WD driving, and out of mobile phone range - even emergency services.
Now THAT'S better than Woop-Woop for the middle of nowhere!
Re: Centre of local council area
I think you'll find that woop-woop is a lot more than 70km back'o'bourke
The end result?
It's fine to suggest a reason to why they made the mistake, but the fact is that it was innacurate. It's not really much consolation to the stranded tourist that it was a genuine mistake, they want results. Google provided, Apple didn't. If the data was so bad, why just Apple as the victims?
GIGO and more
The crux of the issue is the accuracy of the data source, that might have accumulated all kinds of cruft during the non-digital era, but now subjected to accuracy checks by massive number of eyeballs.
Curiously, during the old paper map days (and even today!), one way to know if your competitor map publisher stole your map info is to introduce an small, intentional error in the map you publish...
What does Mildura Rural City signify?
Mildura Rural City is the area with includes Mildura. It is an administrative designation similar to Shire or County or City or even Council. Effectively they are the same thing, one being a larger area and the other smaller.
Re: What does Mildura Rural City signify?
And here is an example of the usage of "Mildura Rural City": http://www.gazette.vic.gov.au/gazette/Gazettes2012/GG2012S174.pdf
For the record, the official centre of town for Australian cities is the post office (or GPO if the city has more than one). Thus if you are driving along a road and see "Sydney 120" that means that from where you are, the route to the Sydney GPO is 120km. This is also why you will see "Mildura Post Office" listed, but no "Mildura".
The Google DeLorean hits 88mph to visit Jamestown, NZ
Here's the prestigious waterfront location of 66 Lake St, Jamestown - complete with property boundaries so you can check if you've got more beach than the Jones' next door:
But before putting a deposit on it, check the satellite view:
...one hut, not so many roads, even fewer Jones' for the BBQ meet & greet. As the 1966 Encyclopedia of NZ relates:
about this time the shipping service was discontinued and, as the road had still to be commenced, Jamestown had to rely on the extremely irregular calls of a Government paddle steamer. The inevitable happened. A steady exodus began, and by 1879 the struggle was over. Tilled fields went back to bush and scrub, the rough dwellings were deserted and sank into decay, and before the decade came to an end only sagging eaves and gaping doors and windows remained as a reminder of what might have been.
Yet somehow - charmingly - Google acquired the Jamestown map along with all of the other cadastral data for NZ and so though already a ghost 130 years ago it lives on - it'll be a sad day when this error is expunged.
(Google also shows the Lower Hollyford Rd extending to Lake Alabaster, which thankfully it doesn't, despite the very best efforts of tourism development wankers to get a thwacking great highway bulldozed through Fiordland National Park down to the Tasman Sea and up the remote and magical coast to Barn Bay. Probably the road end is rutted by confused fishermen turning around)
Re: The Google DeLorean hits 88mph to visit Jamestown, NZ
It's a sad day... nothing but a marker on a featureless shore when I looked.
Does Google monitor the Reg. forum for urgent map updates?
Re: The Google DeLorean hits 88mph to visit Jamestown, NZ
PHEW! - at least here it still works:
FWIW that's using Chrome incognito mode to (try to...) divorce it from my last set of queries.
The property boundaries are the fainter lines, so 66 Lake St is a particularly des res. But ominously a few years ago the roads were in normal road colour and had names so this seems to be just the pure cadastral data. Fading out like a Cheshire Cat? (leaving nothing but the faint air of disappointment that an amusing nook has been scrubbed clean and rectilinear)
they didn't have to release it.
Yes it takes money, time and effort to get it right, but they had other options. They could have bought decent data, they could have left Google maps where it was.
Lots of things are hard. Making a mobile phone is hard but of you step up charge people up to 700 quid, you have to get it right.
It's a laugh to poke fun at Apple
But you have to give them credit for working on a fix so rapidly.
But I still don't really want an iPhone.....

Mapping is drudgery
The creation of good maps is something that requires lots of legwork with no shortcuts, but the modern idea seems to be to take questionable data and expect user feedback to improve it. (I thought this applied only to OpenStreetMap, but seems the commercial players do it as well). Works with places with lots of users giving feedback, but leaves you with crap elsewhere.
Not sure how it is elsewhere, but in my country the governement and cities used to have an effective monopoly on maps, and the result was of very high quality, with the series of topological 1:20 000 maps giving even the locations of larger stones accurately. That was the result of decades of precise aerial photography, combined with surveyors going on foot all over the country to check up things (my uncle used to take part in this as a summer job).
Such an operation would be uneconomical as a business proposition... An example of something valuable that just will not be done unless paid by the taxpayers.

Thai Aroma Chow Meet up 9/21/12
- j
- jujuthomas Sep 22, 2012 08:37 AM
We had 14 Chowhounds last night at Thai Aroma, and from the emails so far everyone had a really good time! The Spicy Mango juice was delicious, especially paired with CurlyGirl's Blood Orange vodka! I predict a run on that vodka at the state store today... LOL We were the first ones to arrive in the restaurant and the last ones to leave!
Personally, I ate the ravioli soup, which was a clear broth with little chicken and shrimp dumplings and lots of veggies in it. It was really tasty, the dumplings had a nice texture and the skins were very delicate. I had the Jungle King as an entree, and tried the Massaman curry. I liked the curry better, but the Jungle King was very tasty. We ordered a number of appetizers... coconut shrimp, chicken satay, fish cakes, crispy tofu, summer rolls. Of those the coconut shrimp were my favorite.
Mookleknuck ordered salads to share... the spicy beef salad was really good, so was the green papaya salad - altho the heat in that one was too much for me! yikes! I think I chewed a slice of one of those thai dragon chilis or something. LOL.
At the end of the meal we passed around shots of La Belle Creole chocolate rum that Mr. Juju and I brought back from St. Lucia last week. (oh, and he found out I call him Mr. Juju on Chow... that was FUNNY.) Anyway, I thought it was a good way to finish up a wonderful meal. I hope that we'll be able to do this again sometime soon!
Dinner certainly was fun and it was great to finally put faces with names. I ordered as my entree the Yellow Curry with chicken (the waiter advised it was the least hot of all of the curries) Since I am not one for the more spicier foods, it was just perfect for me. I also ordered the Tom Kha soup with chicken (shrimp is also available) which was really good. Nicely sweet, which took the edge off some of the spicy entrees and chips that we had before the soup was served. I was one of the few at the table that did not sample the Green Papaya Salad, so did not experience the intense heat of the Bird Eye Thai peppers. They are classified 6/10 on the Scoville Chili Pepper index. Bringing along flavored vodkas to sample with the juices was great fun. The Blood Orange Mango and plain mango vodkas were hits. And the Lime Bite Vodka seemed to work well with the restaurant's Ginger Juice concoction. If we select an Italian BYOB for our next Chow outing, I will bring along Limoncello for us to enjoy as our after-dinner aperitif.
I was really looking forward to going. I am really disappointed I had to miss the dinner. I have been to other Chow meet-ups and really had a great time! I hope another adventure is planned soon so I can attend. I am happy everyone had a great time.
Was that fun or what!?! Both Mr. Cakes and I had a wonderful time, and would certainly be up for another adventure.
It was fun sharing the apps. I really liked my Vietnamese Spring roll, but like ChefPaulo, was disappointed that the dipping sauce was not the peanut-based one I am used to. It was served with a pale green (cilantro? mint?) that did not do much to enhance the flavors in the roll. Those juices were a huge hit. The spicy mango was sweet, yet not cloyingly so, with little bits of jalapeño tickling the tongue now and then -- or, for the few unfortunate ones, catching in the back of the throat! Curly Girl and Mr. Curl get accolades for bringing that mango, passion fruit & blood orange vodka that went so well with the spicy mango concoction. I am going to hunt that down & buy me a bottle. I think that the ginger juice was actually a better match for the food, but I was so taken with that mango vodka that I focused on the mango juice.
I do like spice, but opted for the Butternut Squash Soup. Good thing I did because, like Juju, I chomped on one of those bird chilies and was in severe need of something soothing on my tongue. It was creamy, with smoky background note. Mr. Cakes had the Tom Yum, and liked it very much, although he would have liked it with more of a kick – Mr. Cakes has cast iron mucous membranes, and likes his Thai food HOT. He was very disappointed with his Deep Sea entrée for the same reason. Although it was billed as being spicy, he found it quite tame. My Bangkok Eggplant was good, and quite flavorful, but also lacked the advertised kick. To be honest, I think chefs at a place like Thai Aroma are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to your average American patron – do they make the dish the way they would for themselves and make smoke come out of the diner's ears, or do they tone it down to the point where it loses its character. And when said patron says they want a dish "hot", how hot is their hot compared to your hot?
I will go back again and try some of the other dishes. The food is well prepared, attractively served, and fairly priced. The host really helped to make the evening special as well. It's not easy handling a boisterous group the size of ours, but he made us feel like guests at a party in his home. All in all, a "10"!
So, where are we going next?
Thanks for the comments. I just got the Groupon offer and came back to see recent comments. l really liked that the Groupon can be used on take out...which is easier for me at times.
I'll certainly chime in here with an endorsement of great food and great company. It was nice to finally meet everyone and have such a simpatico crowd with whom to share an excellent meal.
As for my selections, I really enjoyed the Tom Kha soup (a very generous serving) but, as PattiCakes noted, the sauce accompanying the Vietnamese spring rolls was a bit on the bland side. Peanut would have been preferred. My crispy duck was perfect, evidently nicely browned and crisped in the pan and then finished in the oven to retain moisture. After sharing all the apps and sampling the plethora of exotic spirits, it is understandable why no one had room for dessert.
Again, I had a great time and look forward to seeing all again.
re: Chefpaulo
That crispy duck smelled wonderful as it went by, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's on my list to try sometime.
To repeat everyone else, it was a lovely dinner and very nice to meet some of this board's denizens.
Lesson of the night: more authentic spicing only if you ask for it.
As jujuthomas mentioned, we shared appetizers and juice. As mentioned previously (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/848151), I did not see other drinks on the menu. I didn't ask if they still offer the green bean (mung bean) or fresh soy milk, so I don't know if they are still available. I did not add any alcohol to either of the juices, but I enjoyed both sans alcohol. Like PattiCakes, I, too, found the ginger drink to be a better pair for the food. It had a cool mint balm to its ginger warmth which was very appealing. I thought the spicy mango juice to be a better post dinner quaff.
All of the appetizers were fine, but I truly enjoyed the spicy beef salad and the som tum (green papaya) which I had ordered and requested spicy. Our server, fortunately for me, remembered me from months ago, and said that he would personally oversee the spicing. The som tum was spicier than the beef salad, but both were well-prepared.
At this point in time, only the salads that I ordered remain in my memory as something that I would order again. The other appetizers were nothing special or nothing I couldn't make at home. Chefpaulo quite graciously offered me some of his crispy duck and, while it was a very decent preparation, it was not a very Thai preparation.
I am still very happy that this is in the area, but will always have to remember to order it with more authentic (not Thai-level) spicing. Very pleasant.
