Does anyone know of a way to export all my contacts from my iPhone straight into my iPad 2 without having to re-type all of them in?

This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
| |||||||||||||
Sync from iPhone to your computer, then from the computer to the iPad. When I got my iPhone I was also able to transfer all data and apps from an iPod touch backup to it. Maybe you can do something similar with the iPad and an iPhone backup. | |||
I would advise to directly transfer iPhone contacts to your iPad without the using the iCloud or iTunes. The last time I tried to transfer my old iPhone contacts to my new iPhone via iTunes sync, it wiped clean my old iPhone - not a pleasant experience. | |||
In iTunes, click your phone's name > Information tab > tick the box to sync contacts and choose Windows Contacts, then do the same process for your iPad and sync. | ||||
You can always sync your contacts with iTunes to your computer and then to your iPad. If you're looking for a PC/Mac-less experience of transferring your contacts over, try iDrive Lite (App Store link here). It can backup and restore your contacts between devices using a free account. | |||
Copy Trans Contacts is software that will give u full control over your iPhone contacts. It will allow u to back up all your iPhone contacts to a PC & then transfer those contacts to your iPad. | |||
Download an app called Bump to both devices. It uses Bluetooth to transfer stuff, you can tell it to transfer all contacts. | ||||
It's very simple.
| ||||
Export all your contacts of the old Phone in iCloud as one vCard, including all Contacts and send it as an email to your new Device. | |||

BACKGROUND: Playing the harmonica can help people who suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) breathe better, according to researchers at the University of Michigan Health System. They offer a weekly pulmonary rehab class that uses harmonica instruction as a breathing exercise to treat the symptoms of COPD.
WHAT IS COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a permanent obstruction of airflow from the lungs. It is usually caused by smoking cigarettes or severe air pollution. When you breathe, air travels down through the windpipe and through a branching network of airways. At the ends of each branch are small air sacs that act like balloons: they fill up when you breathe in and deflate when you breathe out. In COPD, these air sacs lose their elasticity so they don't bounce back to their original shape as easily. The walls between many of the air sacs are destroyed (emphysema), and the airways swell up, restricting air flow. More mucus is produced than usual, which can further clog the airways. The damage is permanent; there is no cure for COPD. But the symptoms can be treated with medication, as well as through exercise, oxygen therapy and breathing exercises. People with COPD should avoid irritants such as smoke, air pollution and extreme variations in temperature and humidity.
ABOUT HARMONICAS: Harmonicas are handheld instruments that create sound when you blow or suck air through a series of small pre-tuned reeds in narrow chambers. Square holes funnel air to two reeds, known as the "blow" and "draw" reeds. Inhaling or exhaling from one side of the chamber vibrates the reeds, either one or a few reeds at a time, and creates harmonic sounds that come out on the other side. By varying the pressure of the air blown across the reeds, the player can produce different tones. Because they rely solely on the lips, tongue and breathing patterns to vary the pitch, playing the harmonica requires awareness and good control of breathing patterns. That's why it's so useful as a breathing exercise.

Starry Night has become one of the most instantly recognisable and well known artworks. Painted from memory, after being awed by the view at night from his window, the work represents Van Gogh's experience of nature and the feelings it inspires. The thick sweeping strokes of paint show the sky alive with swirling clouds illuminated by a bright crescent moon and flickering stars. In contrast to the movement and vibrancy of the sky the town below appears calm and peaceful, the neat straight brushstrokes unique in the painting. Completing the scene is a cypress plant to the left of the image that appears enormous as it reaches toward the sky. Alongside offering a sense of perspective, the cypress, painted with the same sweeping brushstrokes, unites the sky and the village.
Easyart.com is the simple and enjoyable way to shop the UK's best range of art prints and posters online.

Best doctor outfit

Comments about Toys R Us 1001325 Imaginarium Doctor Dress Up Set - Pink 6-Piece:
This is the best doctor outfit I have ever come across. It is so adorable and fits my 3 1/2 year old daughter great, with room to grow. The mask is kind of worthless but the scrubs and jacket are worth the price. The fabric is very sturdy. I love this and actually have the one in green also. Would buy both again in a heartbeat.

Cute outfit - mask is flop
By Mississauga Mom
from Ontario, Canada
This is a really cute outfit and fits long on my 4T daughter (age 3), which means it should fit her for at least a year (hopefully longer!). The stethoscope is cute, but does not relay sound or make noises. My daughter likes this outfit, but HATES the mask. It fits awkwardly and slips off the back of her head so it essentially sits in the bottom of our toy bin. Overall good purchase.

Now that school has started, many parents find themselves struggling to shift their kids back to a working routine. As they shave off time for TV and the Internet to make way for schoolwork, parents may want to add extra for that other big contributor to success at school: sleep. Recent research on kids has connected the importance of sleep not only to cognition, but to behavior and mood as well.
While much is unknown about how the brain develops, some researchers theorize that the REM, or rapid eye movement, phase of sleep is when the brain produces and consolidates neural networks for memory and cognition. It's a kind of "formatting of the brain," says Ralph Downey, chief of sleep medicine at Loma Linda University and Children's Hospital in Southern California and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Before the age of 6, a typical child will require between 12 and 13 hours of sleep per night, says Judith Owens, associate professor of pediatrics at Brown University and a noted expert on childhood sleep disorders. At age 6, 10 to 11 hours are needed. While the amount of sleep necessary drops once kids reach adolescence, Owens notes, "they still need at least nine hours under ideal circumstances."
What if they come up short? A sleep-deprived child's reaction is often different from the low energy and sleepiness experienced by adults. "Reducing the amount of hours a child sleeps manifests itself in the child becoming wired and hyperexcitable—exhibiting behavior similar to children with attention deficit disorder," says David Gozal, director of the pediatric sleep program at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. Kids' emotions may become erratic, says Gozal, and they may be less apt to listen or pay attention. Researchers at the University of Montreal report that a study of young children showed that those who slept significantly fewer hours than the recommended 10 were more hyperactive and impulsive than those who got plenty of shuteye and scored lower on two cognitive skills tests. That doesn't bode well for harmony with the teacher.
"Our results indicate that a modest but chronic reduction of just one hour of sleep nightly in early childhood can affect the child's cognitive performance at school entry," says Dominique Petit, a sleep researcher and coauthor of the study. She thinks there's a critical period in early childhood when the lack of sleep is particularly detrimental to development, even if sleep habits improve later on.
But moving "lights out" earlier can be a big challenge. Mark Goetting, a sleep medicine specialist and medical director of the Sleep Health Center in Portage, Mich., offers some recommendations:
Create positive associations with going to bed. "Often, parents will say to a child, 'You can stay up as long as you're good,' or, 'If you don't do what I say, you're going to bed.' It's not healthy to associate going to bed with punishment," says Goetting. "Parents and children will begin to see bedtime as a power struggle." And, of course, both want to win.
Establish a wind-down period before bed. A routine (like reading stories) can let a child know that he's headed toward bedtime and can help him slow down.
Construct a bedroom environment that promotes sleep. "A bedroom should not be a terribly stimulating place," says Goetting. So move the televisions, bright lights, and toys.
When the kids sleep better, parents may notice a difference in their own quality of life, too. "Parents are definitely better rested themselves—their mood is better, they feel more alert—and are able to function better at home and at work," says Owens. "It really sends a positive ripple through the entire family."

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Hi guys,
We've just picked up a new 6-lens set of CP.2s (21mm, 25mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm & 85mm) which we'll be renting out when not using them ourselves. But with the announcement of the new 15mm and 135mm additions to the CP.2 lineup, I'm thinking of selling the 25mm and adding one of the new lenses to extend the range of the set.
So I'm wondering which combination holds more appeal to people in general - a 15mm, 21mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm & 85mm set, or a 21mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm & 135mm set?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

With Memorial Day just a month away, families may already be planning backyard pool parties and trips to the shore. In preparation for the fun summer months ahead, it's important to raise awareness about water safety for children.
Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death among children ages 1 to 4, according to Safe Kids USA (safekids.org), a national network of organizations working to prevent unintentional childhood injury.
And in the summer months, between May and August, Safe Kids USA reports, drowning deaths among children increase 89 percent over the rest of the year.
While parental supervision, child safety locks and fences and basic water rescue skills are all necessary tools to help prevent a child from drowning near a home swimming pool, KIDS FIRST Swim Schools believe that children should begin developing swimming skills earlier, rather than later.
Incorporated in Maryland in 2001, KIDS FIRST Swim Schools are America's largest provider of year round warm water swimming instruction, according to kidsfirstswimschools.com. Even infants are welcome as students at KIDS FIRST. Private instruction and small group lessons are offered to toddlers, and competitive stroke mechanics are taught at a more advanced level.
The KIDS FIRST corporate founder and owner Gary Roth is quoted on the website as saying, "As long as the Earth remains 2/3 covered by water and as long as the human race keeps making babies, somebody is going to have to teach them how to swim. And we want to lead the way."
KIDS FIRST began to sell franchises in 2010, and in 2011 the company sold its first three, one of them in East Norriton, which opened in February and is currently the only school operating in Pennsylvania.
Brian Brown manages the local school, which is located within East Norriton Shopping Center, at 2905 DeKalb Pike. Brown said parents might read the drowning statistics about children ages 1 to 4 and think their infants are safest when kept away from water until they're able to walk.
"But I think it's more important to start (learning to swim) younger so when the child hits 3 to 4 years of age, if he or she started learning at 2 months, he'll have been working on those skills for a number of years.
"If you think about it," Brown continued, "we're created in a water environment in our mother's womb. And so, moving forth from that, you think, well, if I want to get my child acclimated to the water, the best way to do it is at that early age.
"A lot of parents would be really surprised at what their child is capable of, even the really young ones. The earlier you get your child comfortable in water, the easier to break down any anxieties there might be."
Brown recommends that parents enroll their children as young as 2 months old in the KIDS FIRST Mommy (or daddy or grandparent) and Me program. He said the school uses a specific technique to bring babies into the water in a way that water will run down his or her face as opposed to up it.
Beginning with Mommy and Me and continuing through eight levels, at the core of the KIDS FIRST teaching method are three primary skills: buoyancy, propulsion and breath control.
Instructors also highlight water safety rules for kids such as "no running around water" and "no swimming without an adult," Brown said, as well as water rescue skills like "reach or throw, don't go."
Brown, who not only manages the school but also teaches classes there, has an education background and several years' experience coaching and working as a camp counselor. He also used to referee for the Rosemont-Villanova Sports Program at Harriton High School, which his parents, Jim and Mary Brown, of Wynnewood, directed for 27 years.
Brown's uncle, Paul McDermott, is director of sales and marketing for KIDS FIRST Swim Schools and Franchise Company. McDermott and his wife, Mary, along with Brown's parents, who "were looking for another way to give back to the community," each have a stake in the local franchise.
At KIDS FIRST, children are typically placed in a level based on their skill rather than their age, Brown said. After the Mommy and Me program, Level 1 is for beginners, or "children who might have anxieties about water," and the program teaches them to enter and exit independently while keeping in mind the three basic water skills.
KIDS FIRST emphasizes the importance of kicking in water rather than "just treading water or doing doggy paddle," Brown said. The KIDS FIRST Kick First swim system developed by Roth is copyrighted by the United States Library of Congress.
"We won't introduce any arm movement until that kick is perfected, until Level 4," Brown said.
Parents may watch their children through one-way glass in observation rooms located on either side of the pool, while following the curriculum that is posted in large type on the walls.
Brown said he aims to offer students consistency by having the same instructor teach a course throughout an entire six-week session. The school currently has 15 instructors.
KIDS FIRST also uses specific accommodations — including pool depth and temperature — in order to create a comfortable learning environment for young swimmers.
"We have steps into the pool as opposed to ladders," Brown said, so that children can ease into the water. There are also "learning stations, or benches, that run along our shallow end. Kids can start with putting their feet in the water, then sitting on the bench. It isn't as daunting when you can see the bottom and walk into it as opposed to standing on the pool deck and jumping in."
KIDS FIRST pools are shallower than most indoor pools, Brown said, noting that the pool starts at 2 feet and gradually deepens (with no large drop-offs at any point) up to 4.9 feet. The water is maintained at 90 degrees, while indoor pools are typically about 84 degrees, according to Brown, who said that is "too cold" and can cause kids to shiver.
The school hands out report cards and a child will not pass onto the next level "until they're ready and have demonstrated that they've mastered certain level skills," Brown said. "As an educator, I feel I'd be doing a disservice to a child if they weren't able to adequately demonstrate the mastery of these skills. We tend to really harp on perfecting our level skills."
First and foremost, Brown said, KIDS FIRST strives to "lay the groundwork for (children) to be able to survive and be proficient in water." Another outcome of training might be that a swimmer eventually enters the world of competitive swimming.
Brown said, "It's a long process based on how an individual child learns. We have some very proficient swimmers, and we have some beginners."
Prices are based on an individual basis, depending on the level and type of class a child enters, and enrollment is ongoing.
Brown said his mother read an article a couple of years ago about a child who had drowned in a backyard pool. "Anytime you hear something like that, it hits you. Gary Roth believes we are doing a disservice to our children if we don't teach them how to be safe in and around the water and how to be proficient in the water."

County tweaks animal control rules
By BARRY FOSTER
News-Sun correspondent
SEBRING -- Highlands County commissioners Tuesday morning took a few minutes to clean up their current animal control ordinance in an effort to get prepared for this month's night meeting, when wide-ranging recommendations from an appointed animal control committee will be considered.
There were three parts of the current measure that were amended, and most involved the changing of the nomenclature in the ordinance from "animals" to more specifically dogs, cats and livestock.
Attorney for the board of county commissioners Ross Macbeth explained that some of the problems came at a time when animal control workers were impounding a wide array of animals from marijuana grow house operations.
As part of the changes, dogs and cats were eliminated from the livestock category, with livestock defined as horses, mules, cattle, sheep, goats and other grazing animals. Also included in the definition are ducks, turkeys geese and chickens.
Under the new measure, livestock impounded would be kept for three days before it is either sold off or disposed of in a humane manner. During that 72-hour period, county officials would attempt to get the animals back to their proper owners.
Changes to the ordinance in regards to dogs and cats were described by Macbeth as "not substantial."
One of the main differences is the impound time, with cats being kept for seven days and dogs for 10 days before they would be eligible for disposal.
County officials noted none of the deadlines were hard and fast, saying that the impound time would give owners a chance to reclaim their animals before the county took steps to find new places for them.
Another overall change is the move away from the print media and toward the Internet to make people aware of what animals currently are housed by the county. The animals pictures and descriptions reportedly are posted on the county's animal control Internet web page with updates regularly posted through the county's Facebook presence.
"This ordinance was written at a time when the Internet was not as prevalent as it is today," Macbeth explained.
More sweeping changes to animal control measures is expected at the commission's night meeting Nov. 27. That is when the recommendations from an appointed committee addressing feral animals and other concerns are slated to be addressed.

After a satisfying complimentary breakfast at the hotel, we took a cab and headed straight to Chatuchak Weekend Market. This place is HUGE!!!! Covers over 35 acres with up to 15,000 stalls offering various goodies such as clothing, household items, handicrafts, antiques, religious artifacts, plants, food and even live animals!! We reached Chatuchak around 9 a.m. and it seems like we were a bit too early as many people were busy setting up their stalls.
Map Guide which looked so small...do not be fooled! This place is SUPER HUGE!
What a surprise! The first section I walked into was the Pets Section! Cats, fishes, dogs, rabbits, hedgehogs, macaws, squirrels, you name it they got it. As it was still early, most of the sellers were busy cleaning their puppy, making sure that they are clean, fluffy and adorable. Aiyyooo...so cute...I spent most of my time here as I refused to go until Hubby dragged me away. (Psstt....Jason, I don't see any "No Camera" sign wor)
Puppies in cages ... all hoping to find new home
You can find many pet accessories here but we found out that the price here is not as cheap as Suan Lum. Luckily I stocked up yesterday...the treats here selling at RM4.50 per packet as compared to RM3.20 at Suan Lum.
Waaahh...lots and lots of Shih Tzus!!! Reminds me of Precious Pea when I got him from the Pet Shop. Can you see the dark brown Shih Tzu on the left hand side at the photo below? This puppy got character leh. She saw me and excitedly trying to jump on me...then she started whining (sounded like trying to beg me to bring her home). The next thing she did was barked at me (sounded like if you not buying, don't waste my time impressing you) and then walked off and refused to entertain me. Talk about attitude...HMMPPHH!! And for your information, the lady gave me offer price of RM250!!! I got my Pea for RM1,100!!!! But of course my Pea is MKA certified and microchipped.
I was a bit upset on the way these cute pups were being handled. I wouldn't even want to elaborate here.
Can you see those cute clothing right at the top of this picture? Yes, it's for the cute rabbit. Don't you feel like cuddling all of them???
Ah-ha....this trip we discovered a very yummy delicacy which my brother-in-law alway talked about. Braised Trotters!!! A very common street food which you can find anywhere. Beside trotters, I also spotted braised eggs, salted veggies and intestines.
Hubby ordered a bowl to try. They only give you slices of the trotter instead of the whole thing. MMmmm......very yummy, the gravy was soo good. If only they serve it on egg noodles. Yumzzz!!!!!
My bowl of clear noodle soup looks so good eh?? The soup was good especially after a few dash of their fish sauce BUT i only finished the meehoon and soup. The fishballs and fishcakes tasted weird.
We went to the household section and saw this piece of beautiful water fountain thingy, perfect for the courtyard of my new house. Don't you find the buddha face so peaceful? RM4,900 which hubby said too pricey since it's quite heavy and sure costs a bomb on the shipping price.
I spotted a stall selling shampoos and I ended up buying 2 sets of shampoos and conditioners. Rejoice set (RM10) while Pantene set (RM12) and both are large bottles. SO DIRT CHEAP HOW TO RESIST THE TEMPTATION???
Food section, 2nd most fascinated section (for me, doggie comes first) of the market...so colourful, most of it looked aliens to me though, especially cooked food. So much choices until I don't know where to start, especially when my tummy already full from the rice and noodle and the heat from the afternoon sun was starting to get to my nerves. My cheek was like Fuji apple, rosy pink!!
Cute dessert made from mung beans which resembles fruits and vegetables, if not mistaken selling at 10 sen each. Tried this at my last visit and loved it. Didn't buy any from here since it was not covered and I saw some flies around.
WHAT!!??!! 50 sen per skewer?? Each skewers with 5 fish balls....10sen per piece?? I wonder how they profit from it. Hmmm....a bit skeptical to try as I was wondering how much fish meat you get from a 10sen worth of fish ball.
Thai's version of Curry Fish Balls??? Hehehe...also dare not try because I think they put in bamboo shoots.
Fruits in a cup? Nope...you choose your choice of fruits and then the lady will blend it for you. Hmm...which one shall I choose? Hey wait!! Spotted something even better next stall.
Ah-Ha!!! Mandarin Orange Juice.......yummzz....refreshing!! People always say mandarin oranges are heaty, I wonder if drinking the juice will have the same effect. But who cares? Drink first, worry later.
Baby Cream Puffs (slightly smaller than our 20 sen coins), walked passed a few stalls selling this and finally decided to get a small box. So glad that I did cos it was soooooo DELICIOUS!!!! The puffs itself was perfect...fluffy and eggy while the cream...wow...light and not too sweet. Pop 2 to 3 into your mouth, just like eating popcorns. I like i like i like!!
We didn't spend the whole day at Chatuchak as planned cos we skipped some of the not-so-interesting section like clothings, antiques, plants and household items. My water supply ran out and it was getting warmer and warmer so we decided to head to departmental stall to enjoy the air-conditioned. Siam Paragon too poshy for my wallet...so I went to MBK which is like Sg Wang + Low Yat concept but much much bigger. I read in the travel booklets that this place is one of the biggest shopping malls in Asia, 8-storey with over 2000 shops and 150 eating outlets!! My biggest motive to this place was to get some GameBoy Gamecubes..hehehe.
While at the overhead bridge walking towards MBK, I took the picture below of the traffic jam on a Sunday afternoon. Hubby, don't complain of jam in KL anymore...we are soo sooo sooooo lucky!
As we enter MBK, first thing greeted me Swensen's, a must eat in Thailand as advised by my buddy cos it's very very much cheaper compared to KL. As you can see, their current promotion of 3 scoops of ice-cream with strawberries and bananas for only RM5.90! Cheap or what???!!!
Ended up I didn't order the earlier one as I opted for something even better: Strawberry Kiwi A-La Mode which came with 4 scoops of ice-creams with lots of strawberries and kiwis served with a cup of chocolate sauce. Yumzzz!!! Best of all...it was only RM9.90!!!
Once we were seated, we were given 2 free complimentary glass of iced water. The glass is really cute but not complimentary though. Water tastes so much better when you are thirsty..hehe.
Hubby, who never fancy sweet stuffs particularly ice-cream, ordered a glass of iced lemon tea. It was served in a very tall glass for RM4.90. Don't you think it's more worth paying extra RM1 for the ice-cream sundae?
Tada...here came my Strawberry Kiwi A-La Mode..yummzzz...with 4 scoops of ice-creams of my choice: strawberry cheesecake, chocolate peanut, green tea and macadamia. They gave generous amount of strawberries and kiwis and tasted so good with the chocolate sauce. Heavenly good.....droolzz!
So tired when we reached back the hotel. We dumped our stuffs into our room and headed down again for tea-time. Actually we ate so much until we can't differentiate which meal is which. We spotted this beef stew noodle yesterday and decided to try it out. I saw several newspaper cuttings pasted along the wall...so it must be good.
Just look at my bowl of beef noodle. So much beef briskets for only RM3...puts Ngau Kee to shame. And best thing is, they put in lard! wmw, are you drooling now??
After the super tasty bowl of beef noodle, I was still greedy for food and so I bought a packet of Mango with Glutinous rice. The rice was so good...'yi yi ngan ngan', very nice to chew. So different from the glutinous rice here. In fact, i was told that we can only bring back 1kg per person. Wonder why it's a controlled item.
Since the grilled chicken wings we had yesterday was a big no-no, we tried another stall. At only 50 sen per skewer, I took the grilled pork as well. You just can't imagine how good the pork was. So tender and well marinated. Quite fat I must say but it melts in your mouth!!!
After a short nap, we went food hunting again. This time we walked across the opposite side of the street which we didn't manage to explore yesterday. A very long street with eateries as well as hawker stalls selling all kind of goodies.
Pre-packed fried rice...ermm..don't think i want to stuff myself with rice tonite.
After strolling for 30 minutes, we decided to order our dinner. We saw quite a lot of people patronising this stall, must be good right? And his big wok looked impressive enough for us to stop and try.
While the Oysters Omelette yesterday was fantastic, the one we ordered tonight was total opposite. So disappointed! It turned out tough, yes tough..like eating keropok lekor. I have no idea what they added resulting in such funny texture.
The Pad Thai, a stir-fry noodle with eggs, bean sprouts and chives, served with raw banana flowers as condiments. It was too sweet for me...it's kinda hard for me to digest sweet noodles. I don't think Hubby enjoyed it either.
We spotted the Braised Trotters again and I didn't mind having it again eventhough I had it for lunch at Chatuchak this morning. We ordered a portion of meat and salted veggie without rice.
The lady seller is so young and pretty and her complexion is so good. Wonder what skin products she is using, hehehe. Maybe she will tell me to eat more trotter's fats! HAHAHA!
This stall is soo sooo much better than the one we had at Chatuchak. The gravy was really good. Come to think of it now, I kinda regret not ordering rice to go with it.
I saw a big bowl of bird's eye chillies, tiny and extra hot. I took 4 pieces of the chillies and ended with a senseless tongue and numb lips. SYIOK!!! I bought a small packet from the market, hoping to grow it at home.
Very full yet cannot resist from going back for the grilled pork skewers. Too bad the chicken wings all sold out and the seller recommended us grilled chicken bum-bums instead. Ewww!! We bought two skewers which I didn't manage to snap a photo to enjoy in the room. Feeling "not too satisfied", I summoned Hubby to go down and get me 2 more skewers....hehe...and this time I took a photo before attacking!!
The eventful day ended with an hour of foot massage. Oh yes, we really need one since we walked almost the whole day. And guess how much was it? Only RM20!! Ahhh....soooo nice.

OK, well I think that misses the point of the article, which talks about "heritage." Keeping your own active data usable is one thing, but a more complex concern is storing data for many generations and having it be usable by society at large at a point when it's considered history.
For that, something that requires a significant amount of effort to keep the data vital would probably be more costly than just discarding the data, so people are looking for ways just to stick something in a corner for 50 years, largely forget about it, and still have a decent chance of being able to use it.
Updating all your document reading tools each year to be compatible with this year's environment is an example of something so costly we assume it won't be done. In fact, I think updating the documents regularly would be more practical.
On text documents

You only need one VM for all your data, because the access method would be to present some storage with the files you want to the VM. (Granted, there may be a point where the lack of USB or CD support on hardware may mean that you have to present it with a disk image, but it's still fairly trivial.)
I don't think updating all my documents each year would be practical. The idea that it would be practical for a heritage model seems ridiculous.
The VM is probably the best method we will have to ensure fidelity. It's the least amount of work for the best return.

The problem is that some day, your old VM won't run on the new VM host, so you have to update the VM operating system, and you old Word won't run on the new VM operating system.
You acknowledged the concern that the new VM host might not be able to read a CD, but your solution of a disk image (a VM host file that the VM sees as a disk drive, I presume) has the same problem. Not only do you have to store the disk image file on some medium from which the new VM host can read bits, but the new VM host has to be able to interpret those bits as virtual disk content.
The VM is probably the best method we will have to ensure fidelity
It still looks to me less likely to succeed than updating the documents.
If we solve the problem (i.e. improve our data heritage), I think it will be like the Economist proposes: with agreements among ourselves to maintain archive formats.

When your OS no longer supports the VM you want, you should just run an old version in a VM, so your document will be on a VM-within-a-VM. Then eventually you'll need a VM-within-a-VM-within-a-VM, and so on...
I can't tell what you're describing. Can you phrase this without the word "support" so it's more precise?
I'm also unclear on what "the VM you want" is and whether when you say OS, you're talking about a particular instance or a class such as "Fedora".

Suppose your documents live in Wordstar for windows 3.1. So you keep Windows 3.1/MS-DOS 5 on a VM for a while. But one day you wake up to Windows 7, and it's 64-bit only, and won't your old DOS-supporting VM software anymore.
(I don't know if this is actually a problem. It's just an example.)
So you go ahead and install XP in a VM under Windows 7. On XP, you run a VM containing DOS, on which you run Wordstar.
Some years later, XP won't run on a VM since it's 2045 and nobody has heard of BIOS anymore. So you have a VM running Win7, which runs a VM running XP, which runs a VM running DOS, which finally runs Wordstar.
Then 25 years later, your VM software doesn't work, so you add another layer...

I think that at some point - probably host-architecture bound - we have to switch from VM-as-supervisor to straight emulation.
I've mentioned this in another reply, so apologies if you've read it already - but basically, when your VM solution finally stops supporting your version of the client OS then it's time to look at a switch to emulating the entire machine, QEMU style.
The advantage of that is that the emulation is much more likely to last longer, albeit be somewhat slower to run.
The Intel/AMD 64-bit chips are (I believe) incapable of running 16-bit code when in 64-bit mode. They can run 32-bit, just not 16-bit. So we're already at the point where VM systems are unable to run some old OSes or apps without resorting to emulation behind the scenes.
Rather than rely on that assumed emulation, I think we should build in a stage where we simple say "all 16-bit code is emulated", and prepare for the idea that 128-bit processors in a decade or two might mean we have to add 32-bit code to the "emulated by default" pile.
That stops us from having to do VMs within VMs, as you describe. (And if the chip won't run the code, and there's no emulator, I'm not sure VMs within VMs will work anyway.)
Posted May 14, 2012 13:19 UTC (Mon) by paulj (subscriber, #341) [Link]
Further, you are assuming that for every such system that becomes obsolete there will be a VM on the newer system to run the older system. This is far from guaranteed. If that assumption ever fails, access to that document is lost after that time. For that assumption to always be true, every system needs to be sufficiently well documented by its maker that someone in the future will be able to emulate it. I.e. it assumes your chain of VMs will never become dependent on a monolithically proprietary system.
So, given that your VM system also relies on open specifications, wouldn't it be much better & simpler to just work towards ensuring documents are stored in openly specified formats? That seems far more future proof to me..
Posted May 14, 2012 12:36 UTC (Mon) by philipstorry (subscriber, #45926) [Link]
For example, if you're using VirtualBox, then at some point the version of Windows may no longer be supported as a client OS. That's the time to shift the image to something like QEMU.
I should point out I wasn't envisaging the idea of a VM disk image as long-term storage, more as a transport medium. If there's genuinely no other way to get the data into the VM to be used, then simply giving it a fake hard disk is the ideal method - use a more modern VM to save the data to the disk, shut that down and then present it to the VM that has the software you need.
I envisage the data itself being seperate to the VMs themselves in all of this - the VMs should be small "access points". The disk image idea is just a way to get data into them temporarily.
So, to be clear, we have a two parts to the solution - your storage, which you can do what you want with. Keep multiple copies, keep checking the medium is good (via md5sum or similar), and so forth. And the access system, which is a VM you check once a year. And if it needs to be updated/transitioned to emulation, at least you know and can deal with tha.
On a very large scale, this divides the work between two teams - a storage team maintain the actual archives, and an apps team who maintain the access.
Of course, this is only if we want full fidelity. If we're OK with bad reformatting by a later version of the program, then we don't need the second team at all. :-)

Why? There's no innate reason for that. Emulators can be rewritten and/or forward ported. Besides, x86 is highly documented and known. I wouldn't be surprised if it would still be used in 1000 years.
Posted May 14, 2012 16:08 UTC (Mon) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
Emulators can be rewritten and/or forward ported.
Remember the parameters of the problem. We're not talking in this thread about what society could do here; we're talking about a strategy one person could use to make his data live forever. (If we branch out into the larger question, then we can consider things like making laws that people have to make emulators available to other people).
The fear is that people won't care enough about old documents to make the substantial investment in that forward porting. We see backward compatibility broken all the time, so it's a valid concern.
Given that, a QEMU platform is surely a better guess at something the next Windows will run on than a VirtualBox platform. (If VirtualBox VMs become far more common hosts of Windows than x86 hardware, the opposite will be true).
A system based on a chain of virtualization, which relies on there always being N-1 compatibility (the world will never switch to a new platform that can't run the previous one as a guest) also could work, but I think there's a good chance that compatibility chain will be broken in the natural course of things.

A man from Mexico is facing felony drug charges after troopers seized 538 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop in Clinton County, Thursday. Authorities say they stopped 25-year-old David Gutierrez, for a registration violation on I-71 northbound at 4:07pm. A probable cause search yielded 24 bundles of marijuana with an estimated value of over $2.1 million. Gutierrez was charged with possession of marijuana and trafficking in marijuana, both second-degree felonies, and was taken to the Clinton County Jail.
If convicted, he could face up to 16 years in prison and up to a $30,000 fine.

Alawy said the government has been shelling gatherings of people in recent days, since the Free Syrian Army liberated the town from Syrian government forces.
British diplomat Alistair Burt said Monday he was "appalled" by what, if verified, "would be the most recent in a long line of human rights violations and abuses committed by the Syrian regime." Italy's foreign ministry issued its own statement saying "these horrific images offend human sensibilities and our concept of civilization."
Many Syrians face shortages of food and other necessities as winter sets in. The United Nations estimates that more than 2.5 million people need humanitarian assistance.
To address this crisis, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister and government spokesman Bulent Arinc said the Turkish Council of Ministers would donate 37,000 tons of flour to Syria, effective immediately, the semi-official Turkish news agency Anadolu Agency reported.
Meanwhile, dissidents in the city of Homs said six rebel fighters died Sunday night after inhaling a white gas that had no smell, according to Rami Abdulrahman, director of the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
"Gas was released and spread in the area after members of the regime forces threw canister bombs," Abdulrahman said Monday. "... The activists said that everyone who (inhaled) the gas felt severe headaches and some had seizures."
The observatory called for the International Committee of the Red Cross to investigate the case.
CNN cannot independently confirm government or opposition reports from Syria, as the government has restricted access by journalists.

In his acceptance address Thursday night, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney came across as everything Barack Obama is not: humble, plain-spoken, and not interested in personal attacks. No American who watched Thursday night could possibly come away from Romney's speech believing that he is an "extremist," as the Obama campaign would have liked, and no one who heard the Oparowskis, who told of losing their son to cancer shortly after Mitt Romney helped the teenager write his will, could come away believing that Romney is "out of touch" with the struggles of everyday Americans. Every part of Romney's speech last night reinforced that he is a competent, genuine, decent, and compassionate man.
Same with the biographical video of Romney that was shown just before prime time—a terrific telling of Romney's life story through home movies and very moving interviews with people whose lives he has changed for the better—and which should have taken the place of the unscripted Clint Eastwood. The Olympic athletes who spoke earlier in the evening were one of the highlights of the whole week. If the campaign is smart, they'll figure out a way to get that video—as well as Olympians like Rowdy Gaines, Scott Hamilton, Mike Eruzione, and Kim Rhode—in front of as many voters as possible before November. Women like Gov. Susana Martinez, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and Kim Rhode were some of the best speakers of the week; I'd get them out on the campaign trail pronto, too.
[See a Slideshow of the 11 Most Memorable Political Convention Speeches.]
Overall, the convention did a great job of setting up the central contrast of this election: that the Democrats may have the rhetoric, but Republicans produce results. Those results in so many Republican-led states are coming from a governing philosophy that is pro-family, pro-small business, and pro-fiscal responsibility. Democrats don't have results they can talk about, and they don't have a governing philosophy with which most voters agree. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have a tough act to follow next week in Charlotte. I don't think voters want to hear any more class warfare rhetoric or character assassination, and that's about all the Democrats have these days.
Clearly the Romney campaign made a decision to focus Thursday night's speech on introducing Romney as a likable person to voters—there were some good lines and charming stories in the address—rather than promoting his vision for the future of our country. That was the biggest missed opportunity of the night. But there's still plenty of time to contrast the Republican agenda for growing the economy with the administration's zeal for growing the government. That's why we have debates.

Red Sox Try to Pull Ahead of Tigers as Series Heads to Detroit
Sam Hudzik Listen to Sam Hudzik's story
The Boston Red Sox play Tuesday afternoon in Detroit, with the American League Championship Series tied 1 to 1.
The Sox lost Saturday's game 1 against the Tigers and were in a pit late in game 2. But David Ortiz hit an 8th inning grand-slam and Jarrod Saltalamacchia a 9th inning RBI single to even the series.
The ALCS heads west Tuesday to Detroit. The Tigers' starting pitchers have been nearly perfect in the series so far, striking out 25 and giving up just one run over 13 innings.
Tuesday afternoon they send Justin Verlander to the mound. John Lackey starts for the Sox.
