Uros "2Lions" Jojic
Movies into games, games into movies; this is becoming a common pattern these days. Hold on! Let's put Houdini in there - games into movies, movies into games, games into pigeons and white rabbits. No wait, throw in an Archbishop; games to movies, to rabbits, to religious fanatics carrying heavy wooden crosses...to fifteen year old boys. Bah, you get the point! Wait! Was there a point to this rant? Ah yes, porting...
Get out of my bloody old-timer!
It's green! Step on it!
This time around Pixelogic has teamed up with SCI to bring yet another British cinematic classic to the PSX and then port it to the PC. Ergo, The Italian Job -- a movie-based PSX game that has been ported to the PC with the help of RenderWare technology...which makes this game as portable as turning a German super-sex transvestite in a gay pride parade into the next Pope.
Oh, and did I mention that The Italian Job is based on a cult movie from the late 60's? Wait! Did I just say 1969?! I did now... Well, besides having a cool number like 69 to marvel at, there isn't anything particularly logical about the fact that someone has decided to port a cult movie from '69. Think about it: how many 15-year-old PSX players know who Michael Caine is? Sure, the guy is an awesome actor, but I don't think that your average PSX teen is watching cinema classics nowadays. So, making a game based on a movie made in '69 would be about as smart as teaching the kids of today what LP means. They just don't know, and my best bet is they don't give a fuck. A guy who thought that The Italian Job - the movie was a hip and in flick, is probably 50 or so years old now, making the acquisition of this license a very risky endeavor.
However, that is not to say that fifty-year-olds won't enjoy this game, just as long as they don't get their mitts on something a little more contemporary than the PSX, like the PC, Xbox, or the PS2 for that matter. The Italian Job carries that unique British mobster style of humor, something that has been successfully emulated (well to a degree) by another British bloke, named Guy Ritchie: who you may know as that Gumby who married Madonna. I generally find that sorta humor sharp and witty, so that is a definite upside to this game.
The Italian Job is a smash-it-up racer set in different urban locations, like London and Turin (Italy). The game leans heavily on the events in the movie: your job is to drive cheeky and lose the cops, while managing to keep your vehicle in one piece without losing a wheel or wrecking the damn thing entirely. The action is mission-based, and the objectives will range from successfully carrying out a prison getaway to transporting explosives and competing with other hot-shot getaway drivers. The plot revolves around Charlie Croker, who is out of jail and on the make again. He is attempting to steal $4,000,000 worth of gold from under the noses of the Turin Polizei and the Mafia. And he plans to do this by making one huge ass traffic jam in the city. A cool enough premise for a game I guess.
The players will get to drive numerous cars from the period like, 4x4 Range Rover's, a Mini Morris and an Aston Martin amongst others. You'll also enjoy some London site seeing, visiting places like the Piccadilly Circus and King's Cross station; and not to mention Turin and the Swiss Alps. But when I say that you see these places, I mean more like you smash the shit out of the lampposts, parked cars, Double-Decker's and police cars'. This was supposed to be the main selling point of the game - the fun, arcadish destruction in urban locations, spiced up with some of that dry British humor (cute bird and fellow driver, Lorna, is the star of the "Keeping it Up" mission).
"You're in bad shape!" - Michael Cain
Now those are bloody skid marks!
To a degree, Pixelogic has succeeded in doing this, as the streets look really lively, with plenty of cars and pedestrians to go around (no, you won't be able to make mince meat out of pedestrians - this is not that other SCI game you know). I guess the programmers were able to achieve this because quite honestly, the game has about as much polys as your average title from '97, which is not exactly commendable. Still, the dated look of this game is not as distracting as one would initially expect, because Pixelogic artists did a good job of evoking the bustling urban atmosphere from the movie. Hey, it's a PSX port, so don't expect Project Gotham or anything. On the bright side however, you'll get to smash plenty of other cars, and I must say that the physics model breathes enough life into the action to make it interesting and worth while. Car models act differently, in accordance to their weight and horse power. Another thing is that you won't be able to knock over a lamppost if your car doesn't have enough momentum, which is a welcome change over games where a mere bush can stop a car dead in its tracks. The collisions are well done...for an arcade racer.
The mission objectives are challenging but not frustrating enough to make you want to give up on the game. However, what's really lacking here is the AI and the lackluster visuals. I already discussed the visuals, so I'll just say a thing or two about the AI. The cop cars act erratically to say the least, they will keep smashing into ya and into each other, even if your car comes to a complete stop. This looks rather pathetic, and it is much the same with the pedestrians.
The behavior of cops and pedestrians gives off the impression of a heavily scripted and artificially boosted AI code. This along with the poor visuals can easily kill some of the fun you get from smashing into other cars and driving freely through the streets of London and Turin...unless you're a real sucker for Michael Caine and his role in the movie.
Besides the main campaign, the game also features the Destruction mode (you need to knock over all the pins, instead of dodging them), which is about the only other interesting game mode available. In the end, this one is supposed to hook you with its offbeat adult nature and some good-ole' fashioned car wrecking, but I'm not so sure that people who don't get in the spirit of the movie, will enjoy the driving all that much. Me, I thought the game was entertaining enough to make me finish the main campaign, but that would hardly be enough to make me part with some cash for it.
6.1 Above Average
Cities look real "lively." Humor, and some decent upbeat tunes. The physics model is not too shabby;
Dated graphics, AI; it's a PSX port for crying out loud!

One of the original added value applications for mobile users was the camera phone. The concept for this app dates back to technology developed in the 1950s and the first instant camera phone pictures were first sent in 1997.
With apps like Pinterest, Instagram, and other cropping and sharing apps for photography widely available, it seems that snapping and sending are daily functions for even amateur photographers.
And if appcatch.com users are any indication, the picture-taking, sharing, editing of camera phone pics will continue to be one of the must-have apps on mobile phones.
Appcatch was launched in June of 2012 as the first exclusively free marketplace for Android, iOS, and HTML5 apps and since its inception the site has become home to a variety of networks that launch from its Photography category.
Instapic was one of the first photo apps on appcatch.com and serves as a great example of what can be done using a DIY app building tool and marketplace.
With Instapic you can edit and instantly share photos with friends. The editing function allows for some really inventive clipping and highlighting. There is also a function to set up an Instapic circle with your friends, creating a closed social network for sharing pics.
Appcatch users are also showcasing their photography skills with personal photo apps, and others are using the free app market place to tout their professional photography services. The category is one of the fastest growing on the site.
WeddingsbyVIP offers wedding photography services for the Milwaukee, Madison, and Chicago region. The app allows you to view wedding packages, products, and prices. There are image galleries, videos, and a blog for prospective newlyweds to search and explore.
Appcatch initially served as free app market for users of the DIY app builder appsbar.com before expanding to include all app developers who wish to see their apps in the world-wide distribution channel. By making appcatch open to all app developers and app lovers, the company has furthered its goal of truly democratizing the app building and app user experience.
As you have probably guessed, the Social Networking category on appcatch.com is diverse and covers everything from religion to politics, athletic clubs, and art showcases. It is truly a great cross section of ideas and ingenuity, the ideals that are at the heart of appcatch.com's success.
If you are looking to enhance the power of your smartphone, load it with some apps from appcatch.com. Join now and start downloading your favorite apps or uploading the apps you've developed and immediately share them with your social networks. Do you have an app idea but not sure how to get it from the idea stage to completion? Use the free app builder at appsbar.com and upon completion your app will automatically be included in the dynamic new appcatch marketplace.
The group behind Appcatch was feted earlier this year, winning the New Tech Company of the Year title at the annual American Business Awards. The team was honored alongside other award winners like Apple and PayPal.

Excellent place!
I'll be back and roam around.
I just left a comment re Sloane House and didn 't realize there was so much besides…
Many thanks.

How do you sign up for updates?
Thought you'd all be interested in a new play opening this Friday as part of the New York International Fringe Festival. It's loaded with elements of the ephemeral NYC. Here's a link to the website: http://www.beholdthebowery.com
Dear Ephemeral NY,
I read with interest your article regarding the West 29th Street "firehouse". This is particulary so since the Commissioner mentioned in the article was my great-grandfather. I thought you might like the link below to an article regarding his Dept. of Correction tenure.
As it turned out, Commissioner Lantry's grandaughter, my Mom, married the son of Brooklyn Borough President James J. Byrne. This intermarriage amongst Irish politicians has produced som slo-widded puhrsons.
Regards,and congratulations on a wonderfule site,
Robert Lantry Byrne
I'd like to interview you on the ephemera blog about your work on this site. If you're interested, you can reach me through the email link on my blog. I'd enjoy the opportunity to profile you and feature the work you're doing.
I love your site and your photos. I grew up in the West Village in the 1970s and 1980s and was wondering if you had any photos for sale of West 8th Street then?
Well, lovely work. Really very nice.
U be cute.
Great site! This is the first time I've been on here. I linked your 'Fort Green' picture on my blog, Brooklyn Before Now. Keep 'em coming.
I love this site– just stumbled on it. Seems like you have a lot of fans– ever consider putting in a facebook link/ facebook fan thingy?
Niblet is very very cute.
Thank you for this valuable site. It has helped me a great deal in my research. I have a question I thought you might be able to answer. In 1946/7 would a luxury building –say in the upper east side — have had a doorman? How about an elevator?
Many thanks in advance.
Thank you so much!
I love this!
I grew up in the Village in the 60's my father owned the Legendary Village Gate.
Thank You.
Found this site thought I'd pass it on, there's a wealth of info about Gay NYC
Are you participating in the NYC Fringe Festival in 2009?
I am confused….sorry.
We are holding a baby, Fringe on Long Island this year, 2009.
It will be the first time, but, I hope you will come?
Did you do the Fringe last year? 2008?
Thanks, Deb
I notice that you have a tag for old phone exchanges (or tags really, you used a few slightly different ones) but not a category. This blog doesn't work like the blogspot blogs, it seems; what's the difference between tags and categories?
I'm happy to have been of service, and I see people frequently getting onto my site that came from your blog, so I'm getting something out of it too: visitors to my site!
Your entry on Tiffany & Co. refers to a building on Prince Street – "The store did a stint on Broadway and Prince Street (see photo below) in the last years of the 19th century." Like the other photos on your site, this one is not credited. Will you tell me the source? This is a building which interests me.
Christopher Gray
"I haven't been able to locate a source for the photo so far."
That seems unlikely, since you have published it on your website. What is its source?
I just came across your site and, specifically, your picture of Kranich Soap. My father worked at the Kranich Soap Company until it closed (sometime in the early sixties, although I can't remember exactly when) when the owner, Herb Kranich, died. It made two kinds of products that I can recall; soap for the the globe type dispensers used in department stores at the time and bases for soap manufactured by others. I remember riding with my father in a truck making a delivery to Helena Rubinstein which, if I am remembering correctly, was in Long Island.
I enjoy visiting your website. Thought you might be interested in knowing about my new website 98Bowery.com, a mix of art and reminiscences about downtown NY from 1969-1989. Lots of visual memories here; your readers might find especially interesting the portrait of Harry Mason, an owner of a Bowery Bar in the section entitled "First Years." Keep up the good work.
I absolutely LOVE this site! Thanks so much for maintaining it
I just came across your site through a link on Bowery Boogie and I LOVE it!
Thanks again for this wonderful site. Please consider doing a piece on the history of the Dakota building (ie: John Lennon, etc). Was reading a nice thread on the building here (http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=189342) and it made me think of your site. The history is so interesting.
Hi Eph-
West 20th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues is a beautiful block. The General Theological Seminary runs the length of the north side of the block. The south side has some beautiful Greek Revival buildings. But I'm writing about 454 W 20. Based on an exhibit I once saw at the 5th Avenue Public Library, this building was where Jack Kerouac wrote "On the Road". In a place like London, this house would proudly display a plaque to that effect. Here there is nothing. Could you consider a mini series showing these undocumented literary landmarks that pepper our wonderful city?
It's amazing there are so many photos of Jack Kerouac, from being stoned at Columbia University, to working on a ship around the world, to being drunk in Times Square on New Years Eve etc.. Can imagine what he would have left us in the age of the Internet…
My brief somewhat contact with him was I knew his printer at the time, Igal Roodenko, who printed his "Vanity of Duluoz" in the early 60s but Igal remembers him as not a nice man. I never found out what he did…
Have been reading your site with interest for some time.
You might enjoy:
or even a few of the items at:
The card with the Lenox 25 number is clearly pre-1920. In late 1920 the first dial exchanges happened, and the number would have been changed to LENox 0025.
I remember a quick news story on channel 5 when I was growing up (late 80s to early 90s) – a construction worker decided, on his lunch break, to climb the cables of a downtown bridge (I can't recall if it's the Brooklyn bridge or what). The story showed him swinging from cable to cable, like it was a trapeze for him to play on – do you have anything on that? The video has haunted me (but in a good way) for years, and I've yet to find anything about it. A part of me wonders if it truly did happen.
I love your blog and always learn something when I visit, which is a great pleasure. I also blog about old New York (and Brooklyn) – and various odd corners of Victorian popular culture/history at
I grew up in Manhattan (upper East Side) in the late 60s and 70s, back when the phone numbers started with two letters and TV cartoons were only on on Saturday morning.
Your feline assistant is most charming – I have 2 Russian Blues who could be cousins; grey cats (they might prefer me to call them silver, though) are my favorites.
Cheers, Lidian
I just wish to take a moment and gush – I subscribe to 8 or 9 NYC blogs and this is by far my favorite. Don't change a thing.
What are the addresses of your 'rustic cabins', please and thank you?
I have 6 New York Transit tickets (uncut) that are over 100 years old and would like to know if you have an idea where I might be able to sell them? I have pictures I can email you if you receommend how I can do so. Any input would help. Thanks.
I am looking for any information regarding Lincoln Place, a short street that cut through the block between E. 118th Street and E. 119th Street and Third and Lexington Avenues. It appears on city maps from 1894 through 1934
Great site! Love reading about the hidden treasures in NY, yet sad how things are changing so quickly…
I have just spent a good part of today going through all the pages on Ephemeral New York, and love it!
I have 2 photographs of work crews from Blackwell's/Welfare/Roosevelt Island taken in the early 1900s. One of the crews has 2 African-Americans. My great-grandfather was part of these crews. Would you be interested in having me email you copies of these pictures?
Hi. I really enjoy your blog.
One question that's been gnawing at me is: I seem to recall reading about an ancient Manhattan neighborhood that still exists somewhere in the West 60s. If not mistaken, it's a gated community consisting of gingerbread-type houses.
Can you provide any information? I can't seem to find mention of it anywhere.
Thanks in advance.
Excellent site with a lot of content.
I'm sure you've seen it but
Forgotten New York is also good
Love to see something about Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop
virtually unchanged since 1928.
I absolutely love this site!…cannot get enough of my NY…I have some old photos I would love to share, please tell me how to send them for posting consideration…
My husband is descended from Robt. Blackwell/Manningham, I would like a picture of the arch that reads Blackwell, I have all info I need for this family, I am a genealosit of many years, will share any info., Bonnie Blackwell, email@example.com.
That "tough old guy" on the tenament you posted today may be a Green Man – a symbol of rebirth and Spring that dates back to the middle ages. Actually he's a pretty universal mythical figure across many cultures but he turns up in a lot of architecture in the UK. There are some good examples on Wikipedia if your interested. Tough Old Guy may be a restrained example or just a Tough Old Guy, who knows.
I adore this site and have made it my homepage. Keep up the good work. You keep me looking up and that can't be bad!
I love your site!
I am starting a site that focuses on NYC architecture, real estate, and culture in general. I wondered if I could occasionally re-post your posts? Would you mind emailing me? Thanks so much!
PS: Crediting your page, of course!
Have always enjoyed looking at "old" maps and seeing how things have changed. Marble Hill Happens to be a favorite. I have put together three maps that show the three different stages of "evolution". Will send to your e mail. Keep up the good work!
Marble Hill is where I grew up, so if you could send those maps to me as well, I'd be interested.
How do I send you the map compilation (Marble Hill)? It is a single page attachment.
Steven Tenenbaum:
Just send it to me at firstname.lastname@example.com It would be much appreciated.
Just checking in to see if you received my request to link?
Thanks so much and keep up the great work!
This blog is a delight to find. I lived in Brooklyn from 2003-2008 and miss NYC every day I draw breath.
Thank you for creating and maintaining this wonderful blog!
Have you ever heard of the Straw Hat Riots in the 20's? I have some info on it I can send along if you'd like, PDFs and such, but it'd be perfect for you. It's as hysterical as it sounds. You can probably do a little Googling yourself but I like to do Nexis searches on the stories here I find interesting and dig a little deeper. Enjoy the site.
Awesome stuff. I have a fairly large collection of NYC Subway signs that I am just starting to market……thought maybe this site might have some info for me. Let me know, I'd be happy to send you some pictures. I have Brooklyn Bridge, Wall Street, Yankee Stadium, Times Square….and the list goes on. Keep up the good work.
I repeat….I love this site; as a ny boy living in "paradise"…I always feel closer to home after checking in…somebody PLEASE do a piece on Campbell's Apt….
Thanks a lot! Due to your website I have just spent 3 hours FREAKING LOVING IT!!!
GREAT site… amazing photos.
BTW… I just moved to 42nd and 12 to a too modern building… I want to put some picture on my walls of the way things 'used to be' as dark as they might have been…
Do you know any resources where I can get digital images of Hells Kitchen, Times Square, the piers and such from prior to 1970?
If you have any, please, please,please send😉
Love your site, really.
If you have any interest in original porcelain signs, I have quite a few. Pricey but all orginal and some in mint condition. My website only has 10 or so on there but I have over 100 signs to sell. Let me know and if you have the time check out the site.
Check out my blog posting for today (July 27, 2010) in which I reference your wonderful blog.
Is there a problem with the RSS feeds? I get them thru my ATT/Yahoo home page, and the last one showing is July 21. Thought you were on vacation until I clicked on the link and found the latest posts.
Allen St. picture is great – reminds me of my roots in NYC.
I'm trying to find information/pictures of Menemsha bar and cocktail lounge on 57th St. It was decorated with marvelous murals of sea scenes. Every so often, speakers would come on that played ocean sounds. Was an incredible place for dates in the 50s and 60s. And good drinks too!
So interesting.
Born, raised, and still living on the Upper East Side, I am amazed at how awesome this website is. I "liked" it on facebook and am glad I accidentally came accross this while web browsing. Does every New Yorker proud! I could spend hours getting lost on your site. Thank you!
Hi, I received an email notification about the referenced post, but when I click on the link, all I get is "Error 404 – not found." So I went directly to your site and the only the last entry I'd already read, about the arch at the entrance to the old Inwood estate. I assume you've taken down the Pell & Mott street entry in order to edit or something like that, but thought I'd let you know that it's unavailable in case something else is wrong. I was intrigued by your observation that there were no Chinese people in the picture. How could that have happened? I look forward to seeing the post when it's back up. Thanks.
Johannah (sometimes sign comments as "Josie").
Your site is phenomenal. It is an amazing example of what passion, research, and an appreciation for the ordinary can do. I am sharing this site with my 11th grade U.S. History class, since we're doing urbanization/immigration/industrialization in the late 19th century (and we're in New York). They should be finding something that interests them on the site and adding a valuable, informed comment. Hope it works. Anyway, thank you for the extraordinary resource!
I really love this informative site. I remember screaming in horror and laughing at the same time over the headline "Headless Body in Topless Bar" in 1983. I also recognize many stories from 1930s NYC, especially Queens, where my mother grew up (Sunnyside, Woodside, Laurel Hill).
I wonder if any readers have information about Gypsy camps in 1920-and 30s Queens (Laurel Hill perhaps?) My mother told me that every year the gypsys came, and all the Irish mothers would try and frighten their kids into staying away from them.The Gypsies, Calvery Cemetery and cannibal child killer Albert Fish seemed to provide a lot of excitement to the kids of the area back then.At any rate, it is hard to imagine hills, woods,meadows and Gypsy caravans in Western Queens!
The existence of Gypsy camps in Queens can be confirmed by this page on the Smithsonian's education web site.
I heard about these gypsies first from old timers in Sheepshead Bay in 60s and 70s. Apparently this was somewhat well known at the time.
Here's a story I'd be interested in. Have you ever done anything on them? Julian's Pool Hall was on 14th Street just across the street from Con Edison Building, on the side of the Academy of Music. Was up one flight of stairs and attracted a sleazy group of pool players who looked like they were from the 1950s. I was there last for a pool game in the 90s and there was little difference from what I remember in the early 60s. Shifty, smoking characters were the norm. It was late at night about one or two in the morning but the pool hall seemed to be having business at a steady pace. The only difference was in the prices, up astronomically from the 60s, as usual. But it's now a NYU Building.
Anything you can find would be greatly appreciated,
Lambda Literary Awards Winner 2010/Bisexual Fiction for Holy Communion
Thanks Lisanne! I got this from Wikipedia:
*At this time, Another unique character of Maspeth was the presence of a distinct group also called Maspeth home. Undeveloped Eastern Maspeth became a camping ground for the Maspeth Gypsies. The Maspeth Gypsies were a tribe of Ludar Gypsies who settled in the area. They were well known for their performances and shows involving trained animals. They wore bright colored clothing. They had a tribal king named Georgevitch, and their village stood within Maspeth until 1934, when it was razed. *
Maspeth is close enough to where my mother grew up- this tribe could be the ones my mother remembers- she was 9 yrs old in 1934.
That's more specific.
I did know a clan of Gypsies that lived in Sheepshead Bay in the 1990s; One of their families rented an apartment from a friend of mine. And I took their cat when they didn't wish to keep it anymore.
They're less noticeable nowadays, but still not totally acclimated into the mainstream.
I'm a regular reader who visits the city a few times a year. Can you please recommend a totable book that identifies old NYC landmarks? Thanks and keep up the great work.
I've just came across this blog and went through every post in 3 days. May I suggest a post on Harts Island? According to my research this island has quite a history…
As "potter fields" progressed northwards with city's north expansion, most were turned into parks. Washington Square Park, Madison Garden, etc… have had thousands of bodies buried before they became parks. Hart's Island, which served as a farm, hospital, insane asylum, civil war cemetery and Nike missile base, has been turned into a modern version of potters field. Please read the bible's description of potters field…following of Jesus' execution, Judas felt horrible for betraying in return for 30 silver coins. Feeling guilty he threw the coins into a temple, with which the priest bought infertile clay fields outside the town walls to bury the unwanted. This is currently Harts Island's function: burial grounds for unwanted, unclaimed and stillborn. If I am not mistaken there are close to 1 million New Yorkers buried there. Burial is performed by Rikers Island inmates Monday thru Friday. I think that each day of the work week is dedicated to each borough. There was a photographer that documented this process…I forgot the name of the photographer, but the images are very striking (especially seeing prisoners standing around number of small wooden caskets of stillborn). Because real estate is hard to get by in NY and Island is already filled to its capacity (water runoff in the spring causes graves to expose themselves), every ten years bodies are exhumed and cremated. I looked at the records of the unwanted/unclaimed and noticed a very interesting pattern…dead in the past were documented much more thoroughly than today. As a matter of fact there is a constant decline in details on the person. I think that today it limits itself to name, age and gender.
Also, first AIDS victim in NY is buried on the island.
What a wonderful website, thank you so much for all your hard work. I have been trying to find out more information on catacombs in Manhattan. Have you found any mention of them? I found a NY Times piece about "veritable" catacombs from Dec 1905, but not much on actual catacombs. http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F20817FC3F5C1A728DDDAA0894DA415B858CF1D3
I am aware of Green-Wood Cemetery's catacombs, but where can I find info on catacombs in Manhattan?
Many thanks for any leads.
enjoying the site. i'm a 61 yr old painter..i do streetscenes of nyc…mostly greenwich village, soho, chinatown…my site: bluehillartist.com (check out denizen of the dark, magazine)…i'm back in nyc in apri ..i can be found on the corner of prince/w.bway….most days…selling my pix. glcrosby
I am looking for photos of 337 Broadway, either the whole building or photos of part of the front in the time frame of 1860 to 1920. My understanding is that the building was demolished about 1922. Thanks in advance for your help.
The prior posting left out the name of the building. Sorry about that!
Suggested minor correction to the current post, "Eating–and getting picked up–at the Automat": The spelling of Ginsberg's first name appears several times, consistently, as "Allan" but it should be "Allen." If it appeared as "Allan" in Patti Smith's book, it was erroneous there too. An easy fix. I didn't want to put this suggestion as a comment on the page itself. Great post, thanks.
hi there–just found your site. i was looking up the hotel McAlpin for my father, who was visiting NY and stayed at the McAlpin as a kid during WWII. fabulous info, and he was so pleased to see pics of the hotel. i looked at some of your other posts, what a terrific blog. thanks!
What a terrific blog! I happily discovered it while trying to find out whether there were elephants at the CP Zoo in 1925, and now I know there was at least one, Jewel. I'm researching a novel set partially in 1920's New York and am looking for photos and any info I can find about the city, Central Park, apartment buildings (grand and less so), tearooms, restaurants, speakeasies, shops, everyday people, etc. I recently discovered Rider's Guide to New York City (the 1923 version) at the NY Hist. Society, which is fantastic. Do you have any recommendations for other books or exhibits that could help?
Thanks so much!
Hi –
I absolutely love your site! Thanks for all of the NYC insight.
I've been living in a back house on Powers St. (between Judge and Olive) in Brooklyn for a few years and have been having difficulty finding any info about the hidden homes (there are about 8 that I can see from my yard but I think there are more on my block). I've read everything I can find about the rear houses in Manhattan but have found next to nothing about the ones in Brooklyn.
Do you have any insight?
Thanks, Alicia
Thanks so much!!
Hi, so for this Modernist Poetry class, we're annotating the poem The Bridge by Hart Crane and I came across the picture of Columbus Circle that you featured in this blog. I was wondering if it would be okay to use it on the website I provided above. thanks!
My wife and I have always been fascinated by the large ornate building on the east side of 6th avenue between 18th and 19th sts (now subdivided into many clothing outlets). It looks as if it might have
been a major department store at one time in the distant past.
Does anyone know who was the original tenant of this building?
P.S. I DO recall (as a youngster) the Wanamaker's store on Broadway
(at 9th, I think) that had a monorail (sort of) that circled the interior
atrium. Do photos exist?
The faded remnants of The Fat Black Pussycat Bar on Minetta St. was painted over yesterday by the owners of Panchitos Restaurant. Tour groups would often stop to see the faded signage and the building, where Dylan wrote Blowin' In The Wind. It's stupefying…ARGH!!
What a shame! I'll bet they had no idea what they were doing. Weren't even curious. Businesses (and tenants) moving into the old neighborhoods because they understand them to be newly-desirable "locations" are often actually clueless as to their history and value.
The Lost City blog has some interesting background history of Panchito's, the Fat Black Pussycat, Kettle of Fish, Lion's Head, and other memorable Village establishments, here: http://lostnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/2010/02/fat-black-pussycat-then-and-now.html
… I sure hope that Ephemeral New York, as a great voice, educator, custodian and proponent for NYC history and historic preservation posts something about the arrogance and ignorance of the owners of Panchitos. With one coat of paint, Panchitos robbed countless people for generations to come, the pleasure of wandering down Minetta Street and "discovering" a true rare moment of ephemeral NY. I suspect that Panchitos knew exactly what they were doing.
As the Village continues to lose a big part of its DNA… I don't see this as a small loss..
Thanks for the link to Lost City
Jeremiah's Vanishing NY picked up the story too.
There's to much vanishing goin' on these days..
I love your blog, but I wish you would credit the sources for your images with either a click through link or a note.
Does anyone remember the Bun 'n Biurger places? Don't know how many there were. The one I went to frequently was on Madison about 50th St. The burgers and steak fries were superb in memory. At lunchtime there was always 2 or 3 people standing in back of you waiting for a seat at the counter
Hi, I am writing my memoir, and I used to work at the Martinique Hotel on 32nd and Broadway. I would like your permission to use your content in my book. The pages about Herald Square and welfare hotels. If this is ok, how would you like me to credit you.
And, your site is incredible!! Thank you so much for posting all of this for us! Wow! Lyn
Hi there- i get the updates and LOVE them. This site is great. Actually, the only site i have ever signed up on for updates and open and read every one. Usually i end up deleting recurring email updates.
My husband and i live in south florida. We are going to nyc in two weeks. Staying at the W in union square. Other than making sure to make it to greenwood cemetery to take photos, we have nothing planned. Does anyone have any neat ideas? We go a few times a year every year and want to do new things. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Wonderful interesting site. My mother is 94 and has told me
there was a store in Manhattan in the 1930's, she thinks on Madison Ave., named Milgram's or Milgrims. Has anyone ever
heard of this store?
Hi —
I want to use an image I found on your blog for a restaurant that borders the park. It's the old postcard with the flatiron building in it.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Harriet Spear
My wife and I were recently in the Midtown to Times Square area and saw a building on a corner where there were the latin names of Ivy League schools carved into the side of the building. Any idea what that building is and where it is located?
To Rick, that sounds like the University Club at the corner of 5th Avenue and 54th Street.
Do this blog have a twitter handle?
My grandfather immigrated from Italy in 1921, and he listed on his app for soc sec in 1936 that he was working for Angelo Marano at the Diana Ballroom at the corner of 14th st and 3rd ave. Does anyone have any info or images of the place? I find nothing on google. Thanks Bruce
Anyone remember the Gallery Gwen on 74 E. 4th St and Irving Fiske– and the other members of the Fiske family, William, Ladybelle, Barbara, David, et al?
Irving gave talks on "Tantra, the Yoga of Sex" there for several years, as he did at the It Cafe across the street. He helped stand up with Allen Ginsberg against the movement to censor poetry in the early 1960s.
We held "folk sings," poetry readings, and all sorts of gatherings, and then Irv would drive people to our land in Vermont for a weekend visit (donation-based, but costing $10). Many fascinating things came out of all this. I came to know the Underground Cartoonists– R Crumb, Art Spiegelman, Trina, Kim Deitch, Spain and many others… and was Art Spiegelman's girlfriend from 1968 to about 1970 and was his friend later on.
I am writing a memoir and would be very happy to hear from anyone who remembers the Gallery and all of us, and would be interested in sharing their memories. If you came to Quarry Hill (in Vermont), I'd love to hear about that, too.

Ah, those were the days!
I would to know if it's possible to get a print of a photograph on this site?
The date is December 23, 2009.,
'Is this the oldest photograph in New York?'
It's a photograph off Broadway and Leonard Street in Manhattan.
My Irish great grandfather worked as a night watchman while some of these buildings were being built. My ancestors lived on Leonard Street around the corner off Broadway.

Re "The busty ladies on a Henry Street Tenement," posted on February 27, 2012…..
I live just a few blocks from this tenement building on Henry Street near East Broadway and pass these figurines often. But it wasn't until seeing them just now on your web site that I realized they are modeled after those old-fashioned ship mastheads……and that the bearded man in the middle is a representation of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. Not surprising…since this neighborhood was (and is) just a few blocks from the East River….which was still a working port when this building was built for an earlier generation of new immigrants.
Thanks so much for creating this web site! I visit often…..It's always a pleasure to see what what's new here!
Best wishes,
Great Blog – thank you for your work and for sharing your site!
Hello, love your blog! I am looking for old photos of Eat Harlem, from the 1950s-1980s. Any suggestions? Have already exhausted the Tax Photos.
The Gotham Center for New York City History, located at the City University of New York Graduate Center, would like to add its website to your Blogroll.
Thank you!
any stories about the Marlton Hotel? Cause I got 'em if you need 'em.
at 5 west 8th street, new york 10011
I believe the arch in Astoria is at 33 street just north of 23 avenue. If is DEFINITELY part of the long hells gate bridge which runs from woodside all the way to astoria (not just the span crossing the east river) Hope this helps.
Trying to find origin of cows photo at Grand Central
Hi — is there any way to contact the editor of this site? I can't seem to find a way.
Ah. Didn't see it under the title. Thanks.
If you remember the It Cafe, Cafe Le Metro on 2nd AVE, Irving Fiske, Barbara Fiske, or any of the zany crew of Quarry Hill (Vermont) who traveled back and forth to E. 4th St… please let me know!
Got to tell you what a beautiful, informative and thoughtful blog this is. I've only been a visitor to New York but love the tiny details that give away clues to its history.
On a past visit went to the Tenement Museum in Orchard St – really well researched, blending the history of the city with the people who have created it.
I've got a couple of New York-loving friends reading as well – they feel similarly.
Thanks for the great work.
Was in New York recently and saw many faded signs on building walls, many were not on main streets. Some were a little hard to read but were very cool. Had fun trying to work them out. Loved looking through the "ghost" signs on this site. Great to see someone recording these.
This site is just wonderful. I'm a NYC-lover (from Scotland) and am trying to work my way through all the amazing information you have gathered. I recently spent ages reading about the old telephone exchange names, full of character and romance somehow. Tonight I came across a photograph of the old Penn Station and was almost in tears to think that it had been destroyed – and by its own people!! How could they? Unbelievable!
A fabulous site – long may it prosper!
Ellen Campbell.
My name is Adam from Kips Bay Optical. I noticed you posted our sign on your website. We recently moved and sign will be removed and destroyed. Do you think anyone would be interested in this vintage sign?
Please contact me ASAP at email@example.com
If anyone is interested please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Hey! I was curious to hear what you think about the Marco Polo Festival. Do you think that festivities like this reinforce neighborhood identities or do you feel like they're too commercial/ touristy?
I found great old picture of 2nd ave looking north from 42nd st in 1861 on the web today. Here is the link. You can see the grid starting to take hold with the country houses still hanging on.
"The Astral" Greenpoint BK
Can you find more info on this building – I live in it and would like to know.
It's on Franklin Street betweek Java and India – in Greenpoint BK
Zamartz – The Forgotten NY blog had an article a few years back that mentioned the Astral. Here's the link: http://forgotten-ny.com/2001/02/enchanted-villages-of-greenpoint/
Hello, readers of this truly wonderful site.
I'm writing an essay for an anthology about leaving New York (which I ill-advisedly did). I am trying to remember the particulars of a couple of places I frequented in the 80s: one was a Japanese lunch spot on Fifth around 35th Street that had a carousel in the center from which one took plates that were then counted up for the bill. The other was a tea room or lunch room in the east 30s– it had to have been there since the forties at least.
Please write in if you know the names of these places. Thanks.
I think that the Japanese restaurant was called Sushi Ginza. It was directly across the street from B Altman. The food came around in a kind of conveyor belt. You're right about the plates – they were different shapes and sizes, representing different prices. I remember that they had at least one other location, inside Penn Station. Both gone now. Sorry, I can't help with the tea parlor.
I'd love to see what, if any, flyers or posters announcing Forrest Myers' Aerial Light Sculpture in Tompkins Square Park from 1967 are around.
I happened upon the scene, quite by accident, and it blew my mind.
does anyone know about the metal funerture factory that was there years ago need email@example.com please and thank you
Someone may have already asked but I am having a hell of a time finding a picture of the old lot that was at the corner of Broadway and Grand. The one with the unused pavillion type thing….do you have anything? I think now its a fancy glass building.
Remember those signs in Brooklyn and Queens pointing to Manhattan that said "To City." Looking for one….
A great link if you haven't discovered it already. A bit on the dry side, but the history and details are amazing. http://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/
I love how there's always something new to see/learn about the city. Your blog is a fantastic resource. I'd like to add some 3D to the mix–https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/north-brother-island-history/id635455817?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4–
has original 3D photos taken on North Brother Island in 2007, accompanied by histories of Riverside Hospital, Typhoid Mary and the General Slocum disaster. Let me know if you would like an access code for a free download (via email).
Do you have the entire NYU Album from 1932? My mother-in-law was there at that time, and I would love to see the pages.
I thought you and your readers might be interested to know that The former Utah House Hotel at 300 Eighth Avenue and 25th Street is currently under renovation and the sign for the Utah House Hotel is visible for the moment. The hotel appears in accounts and illustrations of the July 12, 1871 Eighth Avenue Riot.
Please, if you will help me find pics and info on a bldg once located on eastward bound side of 125th street and Lenox/6th Ave. The bldg no. was 293. I may have found smthg from the 19h century. I would very much appreciate more. Smthg from every decade of existence. Information on the architects, owners, floor plans. The bldg holds a special place in my heart. It no longer exist and each time i have to acknowledge that fact my heart painfully skips a beat. I feel as though i let her down. I didnt protect her…from… the elements…
Hello, love what youve done here. Please express, to Lin, for me that i spent a few mnths at the Martinique after an apt electrical fire rendered my family homeless. I would like to speak with her. Read her memoir.
Lived in NYC between 1956 and 1972, so many of your postings "hit home" as it were. Keep up the great work!
Ran across this today and thought you might enjoy it: a slideshow of color photos of NY in 1940.
Hi- Re: A drama student left to die on a West Side roof –
I have followed your site for a long time and I really like what you do. I understand Mr. Guariano's sentiment; I have daughters too, but there are plenty of places on the internet to vent, and this should not be one of them. Thanks for the edit. Keep up the good work!
Love the site. One of my favorites, and I check back every couple of days for updates. I also refer friends and colleagues here as often as possible. Regarding the runaway elephant, I think that the elephant is not a runaway from the parade, but that the parade is turning a corner there. It seems that it might be a trainer leading the elephant and the kids are following alongside. There's a sign on the right that starts with Pa. Since this is supposed to be at Atlantic and Nevins, could the sign say Parade Route? Thanks for the great work and see you soon.
Hi. I really enjoy looking at your site. Thanks for posting it.
I'm writing a children's book that takes place in NYC in the early 1940's. I need the names of a few theaters, night clubs, or other places where a comedy team of a man and a dog might have appeared. Can you help me? Thanks.
About four years ago someone started a blog called "Brooklyn Analog" which only lasted for a few posts, but one of those posts had some old maps of Brooklyn elevated lines, including the only map I've found that shows the original line from the early 1880s. Unfortunately, it was not scanned at as high resolution as I might like, but it is at http://brooklynanalog.blogspot.com/2009/04/old-elevated-train-maps-one-subway-map.html . Since the file name has "low" in it, she might have done a higher resolution scan somewhere, but it's not on her blog. I wonsee if you, or anyone who reads your blog, knows where a hegher-resolution version of that map might be found.
Here's something about old subway maps, maybe that might help: http://gizmodo.com/18-subway-maps-that-trace-nycs-transit-history-1242514280
Good try, but nothing on that site is anywhere near as old as what I'm looking for. The oldest item there is from 1924, and the map i'm looking for is about 40 years older than that.
Bruce- Check this site: http://www.thejoekorner.com/indexfrm.html
The site is a bit hard to navigate but it is highly informative and even contains a few maps of the period you're looking for. You may also want to contact him directly with your question.
I have an original color 1940 NY Worlds Fair map. It lists all of the restaurants and bars on the back, their prices which are insanely low, and indexes their location to the numbers on the front map side. I could scan it in and send it to you if you'd like to add it to the site. I found it at an antique shop in Fernandina Beach, Fl.
Ryan, I am interested in seeing your 1940's NY World's Fair Map. Would you be willing to send me a scan?
Sure. I just scanned it in. B&W bc my work scanner isn't the greatest. Do you want me to email it to you? Can you post an email on the site?
Yes, please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks.
I was the doorman at the stonewall.want to hear the truth about what really happened at the stonwall?
There's an interesting "manhole" or drain cover in Prospect Park. Its much smaller than a typical cover and has ornate letters that I believe are B O and I. Its near the main field close to the 3rd Street entrance. Wondering if you came across this during your manhole project.
Can anyone identify the fountain and/or street shown in the photo on my web page at http://OmniDoc.org/generis/img114.jpg ? The photo is my father; the back reads "8/51", which, I presume, is August 1951, which is when he was serving in the National Guard. Presumably, the area is Brooklyn, NY. Thanks!
Since there's a store called "Mason's" in the background, a look at one of the old phone directories from Brooklyn for 1951 (to be found in large public libraries such as BPL, NYPL, or LoC) should help identify the location.
Just wanted to report to you a small but sad loss (possibly vandalism?) at the Borough Hall subway station (4/5 train platforms). The beautiful and ornate, original 1908 mosaic near the central entrance stairs recently received a huge hole right in its center, and it seems to be growing daily as people (or, rats) pick away at the loosened tiles.
Given its history (the first IRT subway station in Brooklyn to open) and the great attention the MTA has devoted to other historic station artworks (eg, the newly remodeled Bleecker Street), I hoped it would have been repaired quickly before the damage spreads, but no such luck. I guess with all the repair work still in progress from Hurricane Sandy, repairing 100-year-old mosaics has been given short shift on the MTA's list of priorities.
Maybe give it a shout-out on your blog to raise awareness of its sad state? Thanks, and love this blog!
(Link below to pic of similar mosaic on Wikipedia, undamaged): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e6/Boro_Hall_45_wall_jeh.JPG
I've been a devoted reader of your site for years – even wrote to you under my alias back in 2009.
I now have my own site, City Lights Photography, which chronicles the unexpected beauty and irony I see on my weekly bike rides. The site also includes a blog that is part photography, part humor and part NYC history. I'd appreciate it if you would include my site on your Blogroll. I think your readers would enjoy it.
Mark Lutin
Thanks so much. You really do have a great NYC site. A wonderful inspiration.
I love your site!!! I was born in the Bronx and lived many years in the Village and lower Manhattan. I remember the great streets that disappeared when the world Trade Center was built. There was a shabby three story pet store, Trefflich's; on the third story it had wild animals that I'm sure today could not be sold.
I would like to get information about a photo you used in your Lusitania blog. It is the wide shot of the Lusitania docking with a building flying an American flag and the the NJ shoreline faintly in the distance. Can you tell me the source?
It is for possible usage in a fictional acoount of that era that I am trying to write.
thanks and keep up the great work.
What a wonderful time it was– what a wonderful place! The Lower East Side (E. Village) in the 1960s. "Bliss was it in that day to be alive…"
I am interested in Hotel Olympia which was on 42/2nd around 1918. Does anyone know what happened to that hotel?
Hi, I am trying to find a postcard, photo, or other image, of The Boulevard Hotel which operated on 57th and Broadway at the turn of the last century, 1890s – 1912. Anyone?
Wondering why I no longer get your emails.
In re "The boys of Xavier High School" posting of December 21, 2008, my dad, Jas. Edwd. Aloy. Cullen was attending Xavier around that time, i.e., 1933 – possibly a senior by then.
My brothers and I don't have much history on him as our parents passed away when we were children.
Would you happen to have other pages of that Xavier High School's 1933 yearbook?
Hi, just came across your blog and as a Brooklyn native, I'm having a blast looking at the past here. I'm pretty much blog/computer illiterate so I was wondering…ok embarrassing..but how do I or where do I sign up to get email updates on new posts? Thank you, Mike
I am a 60 year old lady from Wichita, KS and LOVE reading your posts. I have a certain fascination and great love for New York, all of it, old and new. So different from what I am used to here in Kansas. Someday I will get there – my 90 year old mom, who died last May, always wanted to go with me – so in her honor I will go – by myself, maybe, but go I will. Just as soon as I gather enough pennies. Keep up the good work and watch for me – I am the one with my mouth open in amazement!!!! I heart New York!
My beloved Grandmother (Victoria Schneider) owned a small sign company at 54 Dey St when I was a little kid. 60's etc. Best memories of the nice 'elevator man' and being grown up enough (!) to go get coffee and donuts for the office at Chock Full o' Nuts right down the street. I hope to find more info/ pics etc to show my own little grandkids. They had to move to Fulton St after WTC became reality. Can't remember that Bld number. My 'Pop' was also upset as he loved rummaging around Radio Row while awaiting her to be ready to leave. Best best memories of childhood ever- Grandparents and our NYC.
Thank you, Thank you for this!
Do you have any photos showing what might have been located at 616 W. 17th, NYC in 1930?
In many apartment floor plans, these non-public areas
will be separated from busy public areas by physical boundaries.
Dear Ephemeral,
Charles Feltman's bakery was never on Coney Island. His first bakery in 1865 was on Classon ave. When Feltman invented the hot dog in 1867 his bakery had moved to 10th st in modern day Park Slope. Although the sausage has been around for decades the sausage that Feltman used (curved sausage with thin casing) which was a precursor to the modern hot dog first appeared in Frankfurt, Germany in 1852. According to Feltman's son the hot dog roll that Feltman created to accommodate the Frankfurt Sausage was originally used as a breakfast bun.
My grandfather delivered bread to Feltman's Restaurant during the Depression. He told me
that Feltman's hot dogs were manufactured on Flushing ave. near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Feltman's of Coney Island LLC is alive and well. As I am the owner of the Feltman's brand and trademark. We're manufacturing Feltman's hot dogs using the original Frankfurt Sausage spices. Try it sometime.

Rihanna surprised fans with an extra gift during her show in Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday, leaving her mark in a nearby trashcan. No need to start searching for her pants, as this is not the kind of souvenir one wants to keep. Rihanna professed her love for the Lisbon crowd and their contribution to "What's My Name?" before quickly exiting stage right to relieve herself. Fans weren't entirely sure why she skipped out before song's end—thankfully her dancers and the recorded version of the track picked up the slack—until RiRi revealed all on Twitter:
@SuchAF_cKnLADY yep! i ran off stage to throw up, halfway thru Whats My Name…made it back juuuust in time for RudeBoy
— Rihanna (@rihanna) December 17, 2011
Still, "PORTUGAL tonight was LEGENDARY!!!" We'd like to believe Rihanna's vomit looked like this, but are realizing it probably looked like this. Saturday's episode comes after she was hospitalized in October and forced to cancel a concert in Sweden, and continuous rumors of exhaustion so fierce only Beyonce's soothing voice can help bring her back to her happy place. So was she drunk? Is she pregnant? Did she just eat some bad pre-show sushi? We're sure the rumormill already has its theories. While the video below doesn't contain any actual vomit footage—gross, you sickos—viewers should beware: the cameraman's unsteady hand has the ability to make anyone queasy.

Under international health regulations adopted by the World Health Organization, a country may require international certificates of vaccination against yellow fever and cholera.
Typhoid vaccinations are not required for international travel, but are recommended for areas where there is risk of exposure.
Smallpox vaccinations are no longer given.
Check your healthcare records to ensure that your measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis immunizations are up-to-date.
Medications to deter malaria and other preventive measures are advisable for certain areas.
No immunizations are needed to return to the United States.
In case of illness, American citizens traveling abroad should be aware of the services that are offered by the US embassies and consulates. US Consular officers can assist in locating medical services, transferring funds, and informing relatives of a health condition.

College Hockey:Beaudoin, Ohio State Hold Off Ferris State
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Matt Beaudoin scored twice as the No. 2 seed Ohio State Buckeyes downed 11th-seeded Ferris State, 4-2, to take the first game of this best-of-3 CCHA playoff series.
"We had a lot of young kids out there who were nervous … but I think we did well enough to win that hockey game," said OSU head coach John Markell.
Dan Knapp and Rod Pelley also scored for OSU, and Jeff Legue and Matt York each capitalized on the power play for Ferris State, Legue's goal coming five-on-three and York's five-on-four 15 seconds after a two-man FSU advantage expired.
"I'm really happy we got two power-play goals, but realistically on the negative side is that we didn't get any even-strength goals," said Bulldog head coach Bob Daniels. "We weren't doing a good job of getting the puck out of our zone, and we played too much in our own end tonight."
The Buckeyes dominated play most of the game, outshooting the Bulldogs 44-23. FSU goaltender Mike Brown was dynamic in net, stopping 40 in the loss. Dave Caruso had 21 saves for his 23rd win of the season for OSU.
Knapp opened the scoring on OSU's first power play of the game early in the first. Pelley's initial shot from the point was blocked by a Bulldog defender, but the clear hit Knapp in the head and the puck dropped to his stick. He skated in toward the crease from the left circle and fired, making it 1-0 at 5:36.
Knapp said the goal was pure luck. "I didn't see anything. I just tried to get my stick on the puck. It hit me right in the facemask. I wasn't aiming, just trying to get it on net, just swatted at it.
"I didn't know it went in until I saw everybody stand up. I figured I should put my hands in the air. Thank the Lord it was in; otherwise, I would have looked pretty silly there."
Legue evened it up at 8:41 in the first with the Bulldogs two men up. It was Derek Nesbitt, Greg Rallo, and Legue passing the puck back and forth at the top of the umbrella before Legue found his opening and shot, with referee Matt Shegos' arm up indicating another Buckeye penalty waiting in the wings.
The Buckeyes went on to kill another minute of that five-on-three Bulldog power play and answered Legue's goal when they had a two-man advantage of their own at 14:50. The goal was Beaudoin's first of the night, a collapse-the-envelope affair that had Beaudoin receiving the puck left from Andrew Schembri right, giving OSU a 2-1 lead after one.
Pelley picked up the garbage around the FSU net at 4:59 in the second to make it 3-1, a goal on which Brown had little chance and absolutely no help, and Beaudoin's second goal at 15:48 in the third when he picked up Sean Collins' rebound between the circles.
York's goal at 19:35 gave the Bulldogs some life, and FSU threatened with Brown out of the net for the last 22 seconds, but it was just too late for Ferris State to make something happen.
"I thought Mike was strong in net, and I was certainly pleased with his play," said Daniels. "I wasn't overly displeased with our team's performance. Like I told our team afterward, I think we're off by about five percent, but it's a big five percent, though. If we don't get that between now and tomorrow … We've got to get that in order to beat Ohio State. They're playing that well.
"I thought Ohio State was terrific. I thought they were extremely solid in all three zones: defensively, neutral zone, and on the forecheck, solid from goal line to goal line."
The Buckeyes, while happy with the win, thought their performance left something to be desired.
"When we executed our systems, we were on; they couldn't get the puck out of their zone," said Knapp. "When we didn't get pucks deep, tried to force some things at the blue line, they were on. That's playoff hockey."
FSU was 2-for-8 on the power play, OSU 2-for-7. Both coaches saw the need to keep out of the box in Saturday's contest.
"We had at least three and possibly four hooking penalties," said Daniels. "They weren't undisciplined penalties, but they were unnecessary penalties. They were lazy-type penalties where you reach out with your stick and you tug. There's no need for any of them, and Ohio State's got too good of a power play for us to put them up on penalties that are unnecessary."
Said Markell, "We just have to make some adjustments to what they're doing and continue playing our execution, our game plan. That's where we keep hurting ourselves."
The Buckeyes (25-8-4) and Bulldogs (12-21-4) meet again Saturday at 7:05 p.m. for the second game of the series. If OSU wins, the Buckeyes will advance to the CCHA Super Six tournament in Detroit next weekend; if Ferris State wins, the teams will meet again Sunday for the deciding game.

By Carol Bogart, Sacramento Nature Examiner
Remember that horror story some years back about hordes of pythons migrating out of Florida swamps heading for, among other places, California?
Well, um, relax.
"Lots" has changed in the python-studies world since the U.S. Geological Survey published in 2009 python migration maps drawn in 2008. The maps, says USGS scientist and snake expert Dr. Robert Reed, were misconstrued as outlining areas of the country where now and future huge snakes might busily be making babies.
The maps, he explains, show only areas of the country with climates similar to, for example, the Burmese python's native habitat in Asia. Suitable climate, he says, does not mean pythons now happily living in the Everglades will decide to move to California.
In fact, a new study recently published in "Biology Letters"and just released by USGS reports that six pythons were fitted with tracking devices after they were caught. They were released up to 22 miles away. Slithering similar to how the crow flies, they went right back to within three miles or where they'd been captured in Forida's Everglades.
Demonstrating a 'map sense and a compass sense,' the snakes navigated using, among other things, landmarks and the light from stars. The released snakes' return to where they were captured "indicates that not only do pythons keep their long-term movement goal in mind, but also that they were highly motivated to get back home," said study co-author and USGS researcher Kristen Hart. Hart collaborated with a multi-organizational team of scientists that included Shannon Pittman. Pittman, the lead author of the study, is a postdoctoral fellow at Davidson College in North Carolina. She said, "Previous studies have shown that many snakes lack the ability to home, yet this study provides evidence that Burmese pythons are capable of homing after they have been displaced – and they are able to do so at a scale previously undocumented for any snake species."
Dr. Reed acknowledges that his Ft. Collins, Colorado office doesn't track pythons surviving on their own in California. He says, "While observations of aquatic invasive species are tracked by USGS colleagues, there is no equivalent national database for terrestrial invasive species." In other words, we know a lot about invasive species in water such as mussels, less so about enormous snakes settling in somewhere on land.
The python expert adds, "Captive pythons escape or are released with some frequency, so it would be expected that the odd python (Burmese, ball, reticulated, or other species) would show up in Calif. once in a while." He said a report on exotic reptiles worldwide lists four pythons captured in Calif., but adds, "Only a small proportion of captured animals end up being reported in the scientific literature so there are probably more out there."
Dr. Reed says his web search found a Burmese python that was captured near Lake Elsinore in Southern California, but again, the snake was likely a one-time pet snake that got out or was thrown out by its owner.
Even in Florida, the snakes don't seem to move around a whole lot, he said. "The number of pythons captured has certainly increased in the Northwest part of the range around Tampa over the last couple of years, but there does not appear to have been a major expansion of the range in Florida overall over the last few years.
"It's far more likely that new populations in places like Texas or Calif. will arise due to releases or escapes from captivity rather than due to expansion of the Florida population. The latter would be expected to take a very long time even if intervening climates are suitable."
Even if pythons, under siege in Florida, did start migrating toward California within our lifetimes, Dr. Reed notes that a lot of big snakes in Florida were wiped out during 2010's unprecedented cold snap. He says "it seems plausible that warmer temperatures would allow additional northward expansion by reptiles," but adds "the particular strain of pythons in Fla. might have restricted cold tolerance as compared to the species as a whole."
Dr. Reed says there are no known examples of pythons surviving for extended periods in Calif., adding, "but then again how could you tell if a captured python was a recent release/escape versus being a long-term resident?"
He says the main point is that ranges may expand a bit with climate change and while his personal opinion is that Northern Calif. isn't at high risk of python invasion, the data are currently inconclusive. "The short answer is," he says, "we don't know how far they'll spread."
Referring to the results of the new python homing instinct study, Hart, the USGS co-author, notes: "The fine-tuned navigational capacity that the (tracked Burmese) pythons exhibited may lower their risk when they move to and explore new areas."
ABOUT ROBERT REED, PhD: Dr. Reed is a snake ecologist by training. He is Chief of the Invasive Species Science Branch at the USGS Fort Collins Science Center, where he manages the Invasive Reptiles Project. He conducts research on Burmese pythons in Fla., brown tree snakes on Guam, invasive water snakes in Calif., and other problematic reptile invaders in order, he says, "to provide the best available science to resource managers and other stakeholders."

Smith, F.J. Mazzotti, and M.E. Dorcas, is published in the journal Biology Letters. The study can be accessed online. FAQ

NEW YORK, NY (Ivanhoe Newswire) - 12 million cases of cancer will be diagnosed this year. People getting biopsies for various reasons may have to wait days or more than a week to find out if they're one of them, but a new kind of biopsy is changing that.
"I started painting five years ago," Niloofar Shamloo told Ivanhoe.
But Niloofar Shamloo's painting was interrupted.
"I was very sick, so I couldn't continue to go to classes," Niloofar said.
In fact, she could barely move.
"I had to quit my job. I had no energy. I was in bed all the time," Niloofar said.
It was the inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis. Doctors feared it could be the sign of something even worse.
"Most of the time we diagnose pancreatic cancer already too late, when there is no cure," says Michael Kahaleh, M.D., Professor of Clinical Medicine, Chief of Endoscopy and Medical Director of the Pancreas Program, Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Department of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, explained.
Diagnosis involves an invasive biopsy, then a stressful waiting period.
Using what's called a confocal endomicroscope, doctors can diagnose cancer cells while in the operating room, without the need for laboratory biopsies.
"A normal cell will appear under floroscene, very clear and organized, but if it's cancer it will be very dark and completely disorganized," Dr. Kahaleh said.
The images, magnified up to a thousand times more than a traditional endoscope, are sent to a computer where doctors can see each cell.
"The patient will leave knowing if they have cancer or not," Dr. Kahaleh said.
Niloofar woke up from surgery and was told immediately she did not have cancer.
"For me it was like a miracle," Niloofar said.
She's back to painting with peace of mind.
Doctors are also using the scope to detect other GI tract problems, cancers in the abdomen, and colon problems. The doctor believes within the next ten years the new approach could replace traditional biopsies.

Few details are known about Ms Jackson's baby and it is believed she may have signed an exclusive photo deal with a magazine.
She lives in Cornwall with her 25-year-old chef boyfriend Alex Key.
Sir Mick has seven children and four grandchildren.
He and his bandmates are currently preparing to go back on tour after it was postponed due to the death of his partner L'Wren Scott.
The fashion designer killed herself at her New York apartment on March 17.
The Rolling Stones will perform in Norway on May 26.

Long since his days of making noise with Da Bulldogs in the early-90s, Edo G has retained his no-nonsense approach to rocking the mic. With his steady flow and enlightening lyrics still intact, Edo has no reservation in dubbing himself "Boston's best." To some, this self-given title may be disputable. Nonetheless Edo is unswayed by nay sayers. And the fact that a golden era alumnus like Pete Rock came through and produced the majority of Edo's new album says a lot about this MC's talent. After all, only a select few (C.L. Smooth, Nas and Freddie Foxxx among the best) have been blessed with Pete's production. Thus, My Own Worst Enemy proves to be a brief yet consistently strong effort.
While not quite as introspective as the title may lead you to believe, what this album does depict is a socially-alert lyricist who admittedly represents neither gangsta nor backpack rap. As Edo raps on the opening cut, "Boston", "I'm a throwback from the '90s whose return is timely for hip-hop consciousness that's grimy." Edo's grimy consciousness is delivered most effectively on his lesson to young bucks wanting to enter the oft-corrupt music industry ("School'em") and on his look into how a life of crime will come back to haunt you ("Pay The Price"). But Edo ain't preaching. He's merely sharing his sound advice.
And Pete Rock's melodic, multilayered production sets the perfect mood for each cut–from the triumphant ("Just Call My Name") to the the emotive ("Pay The Price"). Pete even provides the chorus on multiple occasions and drops a verse on the live-in-the-now anthem "Right Now". But DJ Supreme One proves to be adequate comp for Pete on the moving, Martin Luther King-inspired "Wishing", featuring Masta Ace. Over a soulful guitar loop, Edo drops lines like, "I wish my people stopped avoiding the truth/ BET stopped poisoning youth/ We need changes for teenagers as they go through phases/ more than just a concrete jungle–a world of green acres," which are bound to get people thinking.
Despite the strength of Supreme's "Wishing" instrumental, my one complaint about this album is if Pete Rock's name is on the cover as visible as Edo's, why didn't he just lace all ten tracks instead of seven? Edo G's latest remains tight throughout, but utilizing one producer would have resulted in an even more congruous record.
While not quite a classic, My Own Worst Enemy is a must own album for fans of Pete Rock, Edo G and gimmick free hip-hop reminiscent of the music that these two artists made over ten years ago.

|Vandals tie for fifth
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The University of Idaho women's golf team overcame a rocky start to finish tied for fifth at the Price's Give 'Em Five Intercollegiate at New Mexico State University.
Junior Kaitlyn Oster led the way with her one-over 215 to tie for fourth. Oster's total included a hole in one during the second round. Also for Idaho, Cassie McKinley tied for 17th at 222, Leilanie Kim tied for 27th with a 225, Amy Hasenoehrl tied for 45th with a 229, and Kristin Strankman tied for 49th with a 230.
Coach Lisa Johnson was pleased with the Vandals' effort after a 304 in the first round.
"We had a good tournament despite our first round," said Johnson, whose team finished with a 287 and a 296 for a 54-hole 887. "We came back and showed a lot of toughness and played a lot better in the final two rounds."
A season-long nemesis haunted the Vandals again Wednesday.
"We really struggled with the putter," Johnson said. "We hit the ball well but we had too many three-putts."
Portland State, with medalist A Ram Choi (208), won the tournament with an 867.

ZF-6318: Feature Request: Zend_Loader to use PHP 5.3 namespaces.
In a project proposal I use the namespace feature of PHP 5.3 and tried to integrate it with Zend_Loader.
The goal is to reduce:
class Some_Rather_Long_Name {}
to something like
namespace Some/Rather/Long;
class Name {}
which works fine, but needs the following patch to Zend_Loader::loadClass()
// autodiscover the path from the class name
$file = str_replace(array('_', '\\'), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $class) . '.php';
It would be great to have this simple addition in the Zend Framework!
This gain importance as php 5.3 is out. A problem also exists in Zend_Loader_PluginLoader as it cannot load namespaced view helpers and similar.
Bulk change of all issues last updated before 1st January 2010 as "Won't Fix".
Feel free to re-open and provide a patch if you want to fix this issue.

According to the Sochi 2014 website, Canada will be playing Sweden in the gold medal game in men's hockey on Sunday at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
The Canadians will look for a different result than the last time they played Sweden for hockey gold, which was a classic at the 1994 Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer.
In this game twenty years ago, Peter Forsberg scored the shootout winner in a 3-2 Sweden victory. Then the Swedes preserved the victory when Tommy Salo stopped Paul Kariya. It would also be the last game in the Olympic hockey tournament where the National Hockey League was not an active participant.
Notable Swedes who won the gold medal with the hockey team that year included Hakan Loob and Mats Naslund. Other notable Canadians who won the silver medal were Chris Kontos, Petr Nedved, Corey Hirsch and Adrian Aucoin.
Since the 1994 Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer, Canada won men's hockey gold at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City and the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, while Sweden won hockey gold at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin.
