Academic papers that describe 3D bin-packing algorithms?
I'd like to find academic papers that describe 3D bin-packing algorithms clearly enough to be implemented. In particular, I'm looking for algorithms suitable for packing 3D cuboid objects that can be rotated into known, pre-set bins. [more inside]
A Human Sorting Algorithm
My mom has inherited my dad's 2,000 record albums, most of which are movie soundtracks. She is trying to decide whether to sell them or donate them, and step one is sorting and cataloging. They're not in any order. Is there some good way of alphabetizing them where they live, in a small room without lots of floor space to make piles? [more inside]
Generating factual statements from data
Let's say I have a large set of time series. There are a large number of factual statements that could be made about it, including some that are trivially algorithmically generated (e.g. "Soy beans are appreciating in cost faster than corn"). Is there a term for generating statements like this?
looking for a model for randomly selecting products online for survey
Hi - I'm not terribly tech-saavy, and I need to create a simple survey that looks at a number of products on Walmart.com. For my purposes I need the product selection to be random, although it would be ideal if I could choose x number of products per department. [more inside]
Hiring a programmer for a clinical project?

Knuth mixing bits
Which page of The Art of Computer Programming is the problem mentioned here? Does that problem ("find all ways to mix 3 zeroes with 3 ones") have a name?
How to find totally, utterly random musical selections
I'm looking for a method, or algorithm, to identify completely random musical selections, across all genres (from Norwegian black metal to Renaissance madrigals to Pygmy chants). How can I do it, given that there is no single catalog that lists all music? [more inside]
Poisoning the well of Facebook's facial recognition
I don't like that Facebook knows my face, so I'm tagging myself (and asking that friends tag me) in a lot of random photos. Does this work? Any tips to do this more efficiently? Is the algorithm already smart enough to detect that something fishy is going on?
I'd like to know more about my phone's shuffle algorithm!

Recommend a programmer a book that teaches high school maths step by step
Can you recommend a programmer a book that teaches high school maths step by step? I did maths at high scool and I was OK at it. However, fifteen years later, after forgetting almost all the maths I learnt back then, I am diving deep into the theory of programming algorithms (sorting, tree structures, graph algorithms and so forth). I find the programming straight forward, but I am struggling with the theory and proof of algorithmic time and space complexities. I am looking for a book that will cover algebra, logs, limits, inductive proof, matrix manipulation and so forth. [more inside]

How do I get the old Google search results back?
So, it would appear that Google have changed their search algorithms. Using search queries that would have previously returned hundreds of results I am getting a handful of results which are mostly irrelevant / gibberish. Any ideas how I can go back to the "old" Google? Thanks!
Rating site for baby name recommendations?

What software extracts sounds by humming them?
What's the software or academic paper that isolates sounds by humming them? I remember seeing a demonstration video of this where the narrator removed a phone ringing by imitating its trill. He also removed the guitar from the AC/DC song Back In Black. I think the title was "Isolating Sounds Via Frequency Matching" but my google-fu has failed.
What looks good with #AFC398?
Programmers: know any good algorithms for picking colors, modifying colors or choosing colors that go well together? This is specifically for code. I'm NOT looking for apps that let you choose colors. [more inside]
Newbie Graph Theory: How can I find all the faces of a planar undirected graph? Or, what I think is equivalent, all of the chordless cycles (cycles in which no two nodes are connected by any path other than a subset of the cycle) . [more inside]

Don't meet the same person twice (involves math ... somehow)
36 people total, meeting in groups of 6. After 5 minutes, the groups shuffle into completely new groups. How many "rounds" can we go without people meeting with someone they've already met? [more inside]
I feel like phoning it in.
Looking for a downloadable poster generator that was on the net around six or seven years ago. You selected a style and provided text and it used an algorithm to create a poster in the style that was "hip" at the time. Background images featured urbanscapes and the like which would have looked right at home on a WILCO album cover. I may have actually seen it here first. Does it still exist? Is there a Mac version of it? If not, anything else like it today?
West with the Night, or East or North or South
Posting for brand-new user mdonnahoo, who will answer any queries in the thread: I am writing a program to determine how much time in a flight from Point X to Point Y occurs at night for pilot logging purposes. Is there an elegant way to calculate this? [more inside]
Writing a front-end
I'm looking to write a graphical front-end for a text-based data fitting and plotting program. Is it better to program an interface from scratch or write an extension for a plotting program such as Igor, Origin, Mathematica, etc.? [more inside]

Magic Chord-O-Matic Machine!
I was playing around with a keyboard at a Guitar Center that had an auto-harmonize feature. Below a certain note pressing a key would play a chord instead of a single tone. What was interesting was that playing chromatically (white and black keys) it played chords that retained a firm sense of key (C major) - if you jumped around randomly or did chromatic runs it didn't sound like there were a bunch of modulations taking place. What formula do you think it used to do this?
Calling all algorithm lovers!
I need help solving an interesting algorithm using 'C'! [more inside]
How can I automatically split GPS tracklogs?
I have almost a year's worth of GPS track logs. I'd like to be able to automatically split them by trip type (walking, biking, car) and filter out some of the noise that gets generated when leaving the GPS on while stationary. [more inside]

Math equation / algorithm for a database
I'm looking for some help with a math equation / algorithm I'm trying to create. I'm a programmer by trade and not very good at math so I'd like some help with this or perhaps a site where I could pay someone to come up with the equation I'm looking for. I considered rentacoder or elance however I'd be concerned if the companies there had the proper math knowledge. A lot of claims get made on those sites that turn out to be false. [more inside]

A brush-up on algorithms...
Imagine: You have an upcoming interview that will be heavily focused on algorithms (specifically computer language related but not a specific language). What resources would you turn to?
Algorithm to display a schedule calendar with specific constraints
I've charged with adding a feature to a shift scheduler / coverage requestor that displays shift information for a given week. I've been able to display them so as to satisfy the constraints I've been given, but it's got me wondering wondering if there's a more rigorous/mathematical approach to the general problem of organizing the display of any such calendar information. [more inside]
How to optimize desk assignments?
In the office we'll be moving to soon, we'll have about 50 desks, and almost that many workers to be assigned to them. How can we optimize who's assigned to each desk so that as many workers as possible are as pleased as possible with their desk assignment? [more inside]
Balls in boxes algorithm
Is there a standard ball picking algorithm? I have 10 balls that I want put in four boxes (A-D). Every box can hold zero to all balls. [more inside]
How do you fairly score a pub quiz? The quiz I run always has wildly varying team sizes - from one guy on his own to groups of eight or nine. It seems obvious to me that a sole participant who scores 95% has done better than a group of ten who score 100%, but I'd like an algorithm that will calculate a fair score for every team. I've tried to create one using exemplar data but I just don't seem to be able to hit the right combination of terms. My basic data set consists of (number of team members) and (score out of 100). Any statisticians out there with a solution? Bonus points if the algorithm is easily understandable to the general public.
How can I find out if someone's already solved this (fairly specific) programming problem?
I have many short strings of varying lengths — between a dozen and a few hundred, most likely — and one long string. I need to write code that will find a way to assemble a copy of the long string using as few of the short strings as possible. If it's not possible to assemble a complete copy of the long string, it should assemble a copy with as few and as small gaps as possible. [more inside]

Picture: Ethan Hawke 'The Hottest State' book and soundtrack signing at Borders bookstore in Columbus Circle New York City, USA - 07.10.07
Ethan Hawke is set to sink his teeth into a new vampire role opposite Willem Dafoe.
The Before Sunset star is growing his hair in preparation for the neck-biting role in Daybreakers, which he'll shoot in Australia.
He says, "I'm going to make a vampire picture and I'm going to chew on some necks.
"Willem Dafoe and I are duelling vampires. It's a vampire movie set way in the future where everyone is a vampire and we're all eating our own resources, so we're trying to get off on foreign humans.
"We're trying to get off of trying to create blood substitutes. It's a big analogy about what's going on now. It's really dark and weird and everybody's sucking each other's blood."

5G and IoT Supplement
Highly Integrated Silicon ASICs: a Disruptive Technology for AESAs
Flexible Testbed for 5G Waveform Generation and Analysis
Direct complex modulation has increasingly become the architecture of choice for implementing transmitter signal chains for end applications, such as cellular base stations, WiMAX, and wireless point-to-point applications. This technique directly modulates the output IQ signals of a digital-to-analog converter onto an RF carrier (direct conversion), which eliminates the need for an intermediate IF stage and the associated filtering. A typical direct conversion transmitter is shown in Figure 1.
It is widely known that during the analog modulation process, gain and phase mismatches of IQ signals have a direct impact on sideband suppression performance. This results in degraded error vector magnitude (EVM) at the receiver, which in turn degrades the bit error rate (BER).

Gold's Value Is Not About Currency Collapse
This article at Hard Assets Investor talks about Jeff Gunlach's bullish gold call for 2014 and uses Dylan Grice's 2012 call as an example of how the end of the world (i.e. gold's safe haven value) can be put on hold indefinitely.
Is Jeff Gundlach's Bullish Gold Call Too Early?
So is Gundlach wrong today? Grice wasn't necessarily wrong in 2012. What he called "the largest credit inflation in financial history, a credit hyperinflation" has instead rolled on…taking asset prices higher and crushing interest rates. But it hasn't, as yet, hit the value of money itself.
Nor will it hit the value of money, especially the US dollar, until all confidence is lost in the system. We are about a million miles away from that condition right now (see second chart below). Confidence will be lost first in the assets that are benefiting from the inflation - like stocks, so strategically at the heart of the wealth effect that policy makers are trying to stimulate - and then in policy makers themselves. Then we'd have a big bull market in gold for all to see.
But if confidence comes out of inflated assets, like over priced momentum stocks and hideously over priced junk debt (benefiting from a full frontal and manic chase for yield) money is going to rush to safe havens sure, and ironically Uncle Buck would be a prime beneficiary; again, as long as the majority continue to think in linear terms like "oh, asset markets are dropping, I better go to cash". Only when the system begins its death rattle will the currency put on its death mask.
Gundlach's more mainstream take is a good start, however to re-awakening gold-friendly psychology, encouraging investors to take another look at gold investment while the idea that currency debasement might ever lead to currency collapse is dismissed as just so much "history".
People have been wrong in fetishizing currency collapse since the beginning of the gold bull market. The 'Dollar Collapse' cult is a cartoon that presents its case for easy understanding by the marks masses. Ultimately, the case for gold is the case for a lack of confidence in the economy and in those trying to blow asset bubbles in support of the economy.
Gold vs. the CCI commodity index is but one big picture view that - as long as point 4 remains a viable 'higher low' to point 2 - tunes out all of the hysterical 'currency collapse' noise and simply awaits a turn on the global macro backdrop.
Meanwhile, gold exists in a lowly state for a reason and that reason is confidence in the system. In very simple and even cartoonish terms, gold is not going anywhere while people are feasting upon the wonderful benefits of what has thus far been wildly successful (and ever so cynically maniacal) policy making.
The above is a picture of confidence and a job well done over at Central Planning. Gold is boxed in at the depths of a bull market breakdown as measured in S&P 500 units. Fact.
When confidence starts to wane then safe havens like Uncle Buck and gold should get bids to varying degrees and at varying times. Don't over complicate it by waiting for the 'Dollar Collapse' cult to be right. Minimize words like "fiat", "debasement" and "hyperinflation" and value words like well… value… and patience… and perspective.
The dollar has no intrinsic value whatsoever? Well yes it does, it has a whopping negative value due to the debt-for-growth (official credit bubble vs. Greenspan's commercial credit bubble) Ponzi Scheme that simply has to keep on rolling. But in an environment of confidence by the majority, it has functional value and people would probably flock to USD like Lemmings (wait, do Lemmings flock?) in the next market liquidation. At least initially.
As for gold, it simply has monetary value and it is going to get where it is going. Watch point 4 on the first chart above and have patience and perspective. People are falling all over themselves lately jumping from the gold bear to gold bull camp (and in some cases right back again) and they are increasing your noise level.

The Real Price Of Gold
The real price of gold, as adjusted by commodities is making some nice baby steps toward rebounding. Here is a picture of the gold ETF vs. certain key commodity ETF's and markets, that show the progress of what would be the most desirable condition (a rising real price) for a healthy gold bull.
And then of course there are other notable measures like Gold vs. Stock Markets. Here is the progress vs. SPY and EZU…
Recovery would have to start somewhere, and the fledgling moves above show that gold is above the SMA 50 in EZU (Europe) units but still has work to do in SPY units.
Finally, below is our big picture road map NFTRH has been working to in a) managing risk against the gold bear market and b) not having its analysis shaken out of the fact that the real price of gold remains in a secular bull market and thus, so too does gold.
The long term Gold vs. CCI commodity index has been a core (even the core) chart in NFTRH's biggest picture macro themes including prominently, secular economic contraction. As long as point 4 holds a higher high (to 2), that theme remains a good one.
NFTRH was the first that I knew of to talk about a bullish economic phase in early 2013 when most people were under their respective rocks hiding as law makers went through the dreaded Fiscal Cliff Kabuki Dance. That was due to industry information I had about the Semiconductor equipment sector and also due to indicators like the Palladium-Gold ratio (ref. 1st chart above). But the chart directly above paints said recovery (post-2011) as a counter trend economic up cycle within an ongoing cycle of economic contraction.
Why do policy makers continue to fight the good inflationary fight? Why, look no further than this chart.
If you would like to get with the service that got it right and kept it right all through the bear market but maybe find some of the concepts confusing (they are, considering that the concepts are quietly presented against high levels of noisy analysis out there across the macro markets) just drop me a line for more detailed explanation any time after you subscribe.
I am going to make a concerted effort to be very clear in explaining the why's and why nots about what lay ahead. 2014 was identified in NFTRH as a time for a 'Macro Pivot' and when the macro pivots, you definitely want to be on the right side of coming events.

Gold 'Community' Revving Up On Iraq
They are getting excited again, the gold 'community' that is. On the big bounce in GDXJ (juniors) especially, there is talk of bottoms, new up legs and even the potential Inverted H&S NFTRH has been charting since before I even heard of it anywhere else.
This may or may not be the case. NFTRH has been on the IH&S for many months now and I'll be damned if the 'callers' are going to co-opt our theme. But insofar as Iraq has anything to do with anything, it's 'buyer beware' on this hype.
Here GoldCore weighs in…
Gold, Silver, Oil, Gas Jump on Middle East "Powder Keg" Concerns
Why, they even have a cute Power Keg pictured with a long wick laying next to a couple of match boxes labeled 'War' and 'Chaos'.
To be fair, they do mention an actual potential fundamental for gold in that "the US recovery may be stalling", but you know the 'community'… it is going to pitch whatever is inflammatory enough to get the troops motivated and pumping.
I would venture a guess that a sizable chunk of the gold 'community' wants war and it wants Chaos because it wants to be right and it wants to get back up on the soap box with a booming I TOLD YOU SO!!. Again, not so much talking about GoldCore as the usual barkers. You know who they are.
But this crap has nothing to do with gold's fundamental backdrop. I think many readers of biiwii.com know my view on that and on the b/s that so readily gets stirred up on the internet when it comes to gold, which is a simple and enduring monetary value asset.
The bear market has driven home to me just how many pitch men and charlatans a good chunk of the 'community' are; stumbling all over each other to make 'the call' and not giving a damned about how said call - coming straight out the wrong orifice - can affect regular people, who maybe depend on 'analysis' they read in their decision making.
So today's deprogramming and debriefing is this; if you are bullish on gold you'd better be bullish for reasons other than what is going on in Iraq as gold and oil pump together.

Just been watching the recording and felt so sorry for the young boy who must be about 10 years old had Shane,s boot wrestled from him by some guy in his 30's who looked so pleased with him self for snatching it from the hands of the poor lad who was then seen to be hurt and cryinging his eyes out. I do hope Shaky hears of the poor lads loss and upset and manages to track him down for a special gift. Maybe the guy who snatched the boot would like to offer the boot up for bike charrity auction. 2 agree 0 disagree

Ford Explorer
I have a 92 Ford Explorer with 4L engine and 175, 000 miles on it. I have recently experienced the car overheating. The coolant keeps bubbling out of the overflow container. I have filled the radiator twice now with coolant, but each time it over heats. Typically, when I get into traffic after about 20 min. Of driving. I did drive it 15 miles at 60mph and the temperature guage stayed on the cool side, but when I stopped, the guage needle slowly moved to the hot side. I have ran the A/C each time, if that matters.

All Rivers Run to the Sea: Memoirs (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
In this first volume ofhis two-volume autobiography, Wiesel takes us from his childhood memories of a traditional and loving Jewish family in theRomanian village of Sighet through the horrors of Auschwitz and Buchenwald and the years of spiritual struggle, to his emergence asa witness for the Holocaust's martyrs and survivors andfor the State of Israel, and as a spokesman for humanity. With 16 pages of black-and-white photographs.
"From the abyss of the death campsWiesel has come as a messenger to mankind--not with a message of hate and revenge, but with one of brotherhood and atonement."
"--From the citation for the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize.
About the Author
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel, who survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald, has been the preeminent voice of conscience and Holocaust memory throughout the seven decades since the end of World War II. In 1984, Professor Wiesel delivered the keynote address at the First International Conference of Children of Holocaust Survivors in New York City, and he has graciously allowed us to publish excerpts from that address as his charge to the post-Holocaust generations as we explore who we are, what we believe and what we stand for in the pages of this book.

Tigi Bed Head Candy Fixations Sugar Shock Hair Bodifying Sugar Spray5.1 fl oz | Styler, Root-Lifter

(Rated 5/5 based on 5 reviews) Login to add your review
I'm loving this for battling dry frizz, and for second day hair. It revitalizes my hair but it's not sticky, and there's no build-up. This has a light, cotton candy scent (which I love) but it's subtle, and it does not linger. I use this spray on wet and/or dry hair and I find that unlike other refreshing sprays, this helps texture my dry stringy ends. There's no build up, and it doesn't cause tangles. This has become a definite summer staple for me!
This is great for 2nd day hair! It also smells fantastic (and many friends commented how great I smelled!). I love how light the mist is so you can use just a tiny bit or a lot depending on your hair's needs that day.
The smell of this..........yum!! I didn't like how my hair looked after it dried and sprayed this, and it instantly made my curls prettier and well defined. It not only added definition but also shine. Love this!!! I'm sure it would be great for second day hair too.
I used it on second day hair (after blow drying it straight) it gave me beach waves with no frizz. It doesn't creates a lot of build up. The one thing I did not like was the scent, tooooooooooo sweet.

I recently ran across the notion of Identity Based Encryption (IBE) which seems like a novel idea. However, I haven't noticed many in the cryptography community attempting to find ways to break it. Am I wrong?
Likewise, I am of the belief that unless you can actually distribute open source implementations where the blackhat crowd can attack it, that it may not have merit?
I guess I would like to understand the experiences of the community-at-large in using this approach and how easy it is to incorporate into your application and distribute?
(Edit: here's a Wikipedia article on ID based encryption.)

How to Patch a Hole With Scrap Drywall
Step-by-step instructions for repairing drywall damage by making a patch from scrap drywall.
Begin by using a utility knife to trim away any frayed edges or overhanging wallpaper. You may be able to push some of the raised edges back into the opening to conceal them. Make certain that no edges will result in raised surfaces on the finished repair.
Cut a piece of fiberglass mesh tape, and place it over the hole making certain that the tape lies flat. Use a drywall knife to help you tear a clean edge when tearing the tape.
Apply the compound across the taped area, spreading it thin and smoothing it using a joint knife or a putty knife. Make certain that you apply enough compound to fill the void behind the tape, then work off the excess with the drywall knife. When patching over nail holes, dimple the area by striking it with a hammer (this will provide a better surface for holding the drywall compound). Once compound has dried, sand it smooth and repeat the process with another layer of joint compound, if necessary.
Sand, prime and paint the patched area.

Frontline Chaos is a Total Conversion mod for C&C Generals Zero Hour. It will replace the original sides, and introduce 2 brand new armies: Revenant and Legion. The mod's goals are to supply a completely new story, including campaigns for both sides, and a balanced and fun multiplayer experience.
Time to introduce the heavy weaponry of both the Legion and Revenant armoury!
Posted by Dutchygamer on Nov 17th, 2010
Welcome to the second Frontline Chaos ModDB update! In this update I have some goodies for you guys. Besides that, I also have another secret which I will post later this week...
As you may have seen, I've uploaded a render of both the Legion Behemoth and the Revenant Duke. Both are the heaviest vehicles in both armies' arsenal, and can only be unlocked at Rank 5, by choosing the Superweapon science. This science unlocks both the Superweapon and either the Behemoth or the Duke for respectively Legion and Revenant.
The largest vehicle in the currently known Revenant armory is the Duke. In essence, it's a nuclear howitzer with an extreme range. Its 420mm cannon lobs shells with a nuclear fission warhead, which cause massive damage at the impact zone. There are very few targets that can survive a single shell. Those who survive, are left with heavy damage, and can be killed with ease by supporting units. These supporting units are needed because a big gun comes with a big drawback: it has a large minimum range. To make it survive a little longer, Revenant scientist have given the Duke heavy armor plating, and have installed a nuclear engine to power the whole vehicle. This engine can also be used by the driver to use a special ability: overload the reactor, and creating a massive explosion, destroying the Duke, and anything unlucky enough to be close at that time. Even without overloading, the engine explodes violently when the Duke is destroyed.
Because 420mm barrels and nuclear material are hard to come by, commanders are allowed to only have 1 on the battlefield at a time, at a large cost.
The Behemoth lives up to its name. It is extremely heavy armored, and sports an experimental 220mm Plasma Cannon designed by M-Tec. The impact of this weapon can best be described as a miniature Demolisher Shell explosion: it creates temperatures up to several thousand degrees Kelvin, turning infantry, shrubby and trees into ashes, and melting trough armor like a hot knife through butter. In other words: it's pretty devastating. The whole tank is powered by a prototype plasma reactor, also designed by M-Tec. Because the technology isn't perfect, there's a chance that the Behemoth may explode rather violently when destroyed, creating a similar effect like the impact of one of its shells. The plasma reactor also draws from the power production of the owning commander to function, meaning that if the commander's base is on low power, the Behemoth will shut down.
It's the time of the year again that you guys can vote for your favourite mods. As this mod is still far from done, I don't expect to get many votes, but I would appreciate it if you would vote for this mod if you like it :)
Voting is simple: go to Moddb.com , and click the green 'Vote for this mod' button. You can vote for as many mods as you like.
More images will follow later this week. Also, as mentioned earlier, I will also post something... interesting later this week, together with the images.
Besides images and little secrets, I can also tell I finally got the AI working again for Revenant. It's so much more fun to test the mod when you an enemy that fights back =P

My sojourn into internet dating is done with some reticence. I believe it's difficult to describe oneself with great accuracy in the limited confines of this summary. I am perceived by friends as a unique person with integrity who faces challenges with passion, conviction, and a lot of heart. I hope to find someone of a like nature who knows themselves as honest and kind and treads the path of life with eyes wide open to the awe and wonder.

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?
By Charles Lam
"But it's part of history," Clara shoots back. "And it should be noted. Instead, people want to forget us."
To remember, Clara drives her mother through the streets of what was the Bastanchury Ranch—"what's now a bunch of rich people's homes," she cracks. "Mom always appreciates going down Gilbert [Street] and Euclid [Avenue]. To see the cactus."
It's spring again, and the hills of Fullerton are blooming. Native shrubs like coyote brush, Southern willow scrub and California sagebrush feature new branches; flowering plants like yellow sun cups, purple phacelia and orange monkeyflowers bloom. Hikers and bikers zip along trails and streets, most ending up at Laguna Lake Park off Euclid.
Across the street is the Robert E. Ward Nature Preserve, a fenced-off section of the West Coyote Hills that developers have long eyed to turn into more ranch-style homes. This is the heart of what was the Bastanchury Ranch—and from the parking lot of Sunny Hills Church of Christ you can see the earth alive with the new shoots of prickly pear cactus.
It was near here where the Ranch schoolhouse existed, here where its workers came to trim the nopalitos that grew anew every spring, where a community lived and loved and learned. And it's these cacti that nearly everyone interviewed about the Ranch—from Arletta Kelly to Druzilla Mackey, Elsie Carlson to Cuca Morales, and so many more—brought up as the sole surviving remnant of the Bastanchury Mexicans, the sight always prompting them to recall the forgotten past.
Those memories never made any Orange County narratives. Although mentions of the Ranch colonias dot the COHP archives, only a few people ever access them. Those who lived through its demise mostly kept their memories to themselves, saving photos in albums not available to the public. No full examination of the Bastanchury Mexicans exists: the only two academic texts to even mention them are Gilbert G. González's seminal 1994 study of Orange County's Mexican orange pickers, Labor and Community: Mexican Citrus Worker Villages in a Southern California County, 1900-1950, and Francisco E. Balderrama and Raymond Rodríguez's Decade of Betrayal: Mexican Repatriation in the 1930s—and the former only devotes a few paragraphs, while the latter has but a sentence.
But if the Ward Nature Preserve's colonies of cacti are the last-standing legacy of the lost Mexicans of the Bastanchury Ranch, then it's an almost cosmic landmark. The nopal is the ultimate metaphor for Mexicans, displayed on the Mexican flag as a reminder of who they are. It's a plant that grows best in inhospitable conditions where little else can exist, one you can hack at but will still give, still thrive. And there on the Fullerton hills, long after the decline of the Ranch and the scattering of the Bastanchury Mexicans, the cactus plants stand sentry 80 years later, the most beautiful, nourishing memorial imaginable.

Artichokes may be that item everyone claims can't pair with wine, but the spicy aioli mitigates the choke's vegetal flavors, with olive oil and butter adding richness. This recipe, which puts a Latin flair on traditional Italian aioli by substituting jalapeños for garlic, is from Joanne Plemmons of Plemmons Catering.
Wine recommendations: Try this with a rich, spicy Santa Barbara red wine, such as Stolpman 2007 La Croce blend of Sangiovese and Syrah, or with a ripe, oaky Chardonnay, like Rusack 2008 Reserve.

A registered National Historic Landmar, the Nevada Northern Railway is one of the last of it's kind, and is the sole survivor from this unique area in the Silver State.
This popular Ely attraction...or is it East Ely? Ask Mark Basset, Executive Director of the Nevada Northern Railway when you see him...it's a great conversation starter! The Nevada Northern Railway is unique in that it's a National Historic Landmark AND a museum, but not the stereotypical museum that some may picture when they hear that word. Because it's an operating historic railroad, you will find working steam engine cars versus relics in glass cases.
The Nevada Northern Railway recently introduced its "spend the night at the museum" program. Guests can sleep in either a caboose or bunkhouse in the original 1900s rail yard!
If an overnighter isnt enough to satisfy the train afficionado in you, Railroad Reality Week for adults and teens allows participants to get their hands dirty in the shop and work on the track as part of the train crew for multiple days, but not before you're asked to pass a safety/training test. You might luck out and even have the opportunity to meet Dirtbag, the shop cat who keeps an eye on the grounds at night!
In addition to those listed on this page, popular events are the annual Nevada Railway Symposium and Taste of Italy Dinner Train in September; Haunted Ghost Trains in October; and the Polar Express in November and December. The Wild West Limited Dinner Train debuts in July.
Discover: The ultimate Nevada Northern Railway experience is its "Be the Engineer" opportunity. Drivers are given the opportunity to operate a steam locomotive, diesel locomotive, or both—with the freight cars attached!
Good To Know: For the sixth year in a row, Nevada Northern Railway was selected in the Nevada Magazine Best of Nevada readers' survey as the number one Place to Take the Kids in the Rural Nevada category. In addition, the railway has been featured on History Channel's reality TV show "American Restoration" four times.
