Ellis Island? Castle Garden? Which One? And When?
Here's a simple timeline for when New York's immigrant processing centers were operating:
Prior to August 1, 1855 ... No central processing center
August 1, 1855 - April 18, 1890 ... Castle Garden
April 19, 1890 - December 31, 1891 ... Barge Office
January 1, 1892 - June 14, 1897 ... Ellis Island
June 15, 1897 - December 16, 1900 .... Barge Office
December 17, 1900 - 1924 .... Ellis Island
On July 1, 1924 a new law went into effect which stated that immigrants were to be inspected at US consular offices in the immigrant's home country before coming to the US. Ellis Island continued to be used as an alien detention center until November 1954. The first person to be processed at Ellis Island in 1892 was a 15-year-old Irish girl, Annie Moore. The last Ellis Island detainee was a Norwegian merchant seaman named Arne Peterssen.
The Barge Office was located on the southeastern tip of Manhattan. Castle Garden, now called Castle Clinton National Monument, was located on a small island just off the southwestern tip. Later landfill has attached the island to Manhattan. Castle Clinton National Monument serves as a visitor information center for New York's National Parks and Monuments. You can also purchase tickets there for ferry trips to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.
The passenger ships to New York didn't actually land at Ellis Island -- they landed at Manhattan and the passengers were ferried over to the island for processing. Generally only steerage passengers went to Ellis Island for inspection. Most of the first and second class passengers were allowed to leave the ship soon after docking. All passengers, however, were (or should have been) listed on the ship manifest (or passenger list).
The Ellis Island fire of the night of June 14, 1897 also destroyed some Ellis Island administrative records and the New York immigration passenger lists. However, separate New York customs passenger lists were kept elsewhere (at the Customs House), and they have survived. So ship passenger lists for the early Ellis Island period (1892-June 1897) are available for research along with the rest of the New York passenger lists, beginning with 1820. These passenger records were later microfilmed by the National Archives (customs lists 1820-mid June, 1897), and the INS (immigration lists mid June, 1897-July 3, 1957), who gave the master copies to the National Archives. Over time many indexes and finding aids have been created to help locate individual immigrants on these lists. For information on finding New York passenger lists see...

Those searching mid-nineteenth-century ship logs will likely soon discover that the handwriting was often little more than a scrawl, and can be very difficult to decipher. No doubt the poor soul whose job it was to record all the names and information these logs contain found it a tedious chore that didn't warrant his finest penmanship. After all, who would ever want to review these documents once they were filed away?
So if your searches of indexes fail to turn up the individual for whom you are searching, don't despair! That person may simply be hiding behind the tired, impatient handwriting of the agent that stymied the equally hard-pressed indexer. Obviously, this is a common issue with any index of handwritten records, but many of these ship logs are difficult to read even from good-quality microfilm images. Of course, searching under these conditions may mean resorting to visually scanning ship logs that cover weeks, months, or even years. So be sure to maintain a research log, and be willing to make the effort in stages. Your eyes will need the break!

Took me a long time to find my family. They had my grandfather's first name as Reznzt, it was actually Ernst, big difference, but I found them by the names, ages and sexes of the children that accompanied him. Then I could see why someone would make my grandfather's name so far off. It was difficult to read the writing and I could also see it was Ernst (since I knew what it should have been). I was able to send the updated information to Ellis Island so that future archivists would have the correct information.

Anniversary edition of the T 90 Tesla headphone with bonus CD
Anniversary edition of the T 90 Tesla headphone with bonus CD
On the occasion of the celebration of the 90th anniversary beyerdynamic presents the T 90 Jubilee, a special edition of the premium T 90 model. This is a very special limited production model.
The Jubilee features the same exclusive Tesla technology that has already won universal industry acclaim for earlier models in the series. The premium quality of the T 90 Jubilee is accentuated by its particularly elegant design: the acoustically transparent Swiss tulle covering the back of the ear cups, the silky-soft ear pads and solid anodised aluminium yokes. The dark colours are starkly contrasted by the two polished chrome-plated surrounding the ear cups.
Like the standard model, the Jubilee also features open-back ear cups. Instead of completely isolating the wearer from the outside world, it feels as though the sound is flowing freely through the room. The T 90 combines the neutral and analytical sound of the Tesla transducer with spatial and dynamic balance, creating a unique auditory experience.
When listening to binaural sound recordings, which use two spatially aligned microphones, instead of the traditional multi-channel mix, you will forget you are even wearing headphones – the spatial impression is so authentic.
To give customers the chance to experience this amazing effect directly for themselves, beyerdynamic includes an audio CD from Chesky Records with every T 90 Jubilee purchased. The New York-based label specializes in audiophile recordings and, in addition to test signals, the sampler includes a host of binaural sound examples in different genres.

All of the Anime I've watched on DVD included the option of using the orig track with subs. I really do not like watching it with English dubs. I refuse to watch One Piece because I saw one episode and those voices are stuck in my head ;_; /shiver Most of the time its done poorly.
Though there are some anime that have been dubbed very well, as mentioned above; Cowboy Bebop.
I hope Funimation does this correctly. I just finished watching the second term and I really, really, really hope they make a third term. Infact I would love to see this show go on forever because its so hillarious.

I was actually hoping for School Rumble to be with Viz instead of FUNimation, but it's all good though. I'm really hoping that this series will join the Adult Swim line up. Considering how Inuyasha recently ended, it is a great opportunity for another great anime series to join the fun.

As my first post I thought I would pass on some info. I picked up a new anime mag called otakusa and the first episode of High School Rumble was on a sample dvd along with boogiepop phantom and Ninja Nonsense. Not advocating for the mag just thought fans of the series might find this interesting.

Personally for most Anime I do prefer Japanese voices but I usually keep an open mind to see if the voices match the characters.
I still can't wait for the release, this time I'll watch in English and make my own judgement, tho from the clips on the webpage, not too sure if the English dubs will do it Justice but we will see.
Well I saw some Korean Voice-overs for the songs of the openings and endings and WOW, it's awesome! (kinda off topic cuz I was watching it during typing this. LOL)
I must say tho it's annoying when people make absolute and quick judgements in general thinking yeah only voices in Japanese is acceptable or Anime in Japanese voices are the best, blah blah... It all depends on the character and the voice used whether it be Japanese or English or whatever in my OPINION.

I bought the R1 release and watched the dub. It "f"ing sucks so bad I couldn't get past the first episode. I adore Luci Christian but she doesn't fit the role. Harima's voice is a turn off. Funi dubs are among those I hate most and this just worsens my opinion of Funi ADR work. Call me biased for being very accustomed to the Japanese cast, but there's a world of difference between the performances of Hiroka Takahashi and Potter, and that difference is very good and really bad.
Also, the reverse cover art work is great, but my copy seems to have a stripe that cuts across some characters' faces. The video transfer looks pretty bad too. I mean, after a great FMP TSR release, what the hell happened with SR?

I have my concern over the translated voice (I generally am not too bothered), but after seeing trailers/music videos of various transformation of Harima, & when I heard the English dubbed voice for the 1st time, it seems it only fits with Harima's bearded (scruffy) self than the cooler shaved look. However I won't pass judgement until I see the eps. with Harima's new slick look & see how it balances with the voice. I'm not complaining, but concerned as the voice works well with Harima's street fighter appearance.

Well for the dub I bought the entire season for around 40 and in my opinion its good buy even though I don't watch the dub its worth the money since it brings back the good old times.
And does that season 2 have a LE?

Police: Kansas murder suspect said he 'bullied' wife
A police chief says a former Kansas police instructor admitted that he "bullied" his wife the night before she was found shot to death in the couple's fire-damaged home.
The Hutchinson News reports that Kingman Chief Marc Holloway testified Friday in Brett Seacat's first-degree murder trial. Prosecutors allege Seacat killed his 34-year-old wife, Vashti, in April 2011 because she was divorcing him and set a fire to cover up the crime.
Seacat says his wife set the fire and killed herself. He escaped from the fire with the couple's two young children.
Holloway testified that Seacat convinced his wife to let him stay in their home for several months, despite their marital problems, by threatening to take their children to Mexico. Seacat told Holloway his wife "wasn't a fighter."

Seattle Opera's LA BOHEME Opens 2/23
Seattle Opera continues its 2012/13 season next month with 10 performances of one of the most popular operas ever composed. At turns joyful and heartbreaking, Puccini's La Bohème tells an unforgettable story of impoverished young people who are rich in friendship, love, and passion. La Bohème returns to Seattle Opera on February 23, running for 10 performances through March 10.
"Seattle Opera had the honor of presenting the U.S. debut of the talented young Sardinian tenor Francesco Demuro in 2009,"says Speight Jenkins, General Director of Seattle Opera. "Demuro's career has exploded since then, and I am thrilled he is coming back to sing Rodolfo for us. He shares the role with another terrific young tenor, Michael Fabiano. With a great group of Bohemians, one of the most exciting conductors I know in Carlo Montanaro, and a great director in Tomer Zvulun, this La Bohème should be a delight for those who love the opera and a great experience for first-time operagoers."
Opening night of La Bohème stars Elizabeth Caballero as the ill-fated Mimì, who falls in love with her neighbor Rodolfo, sung by tenor Francesco Demuro. Following Caballero's 2011 performance as Liù in Lyric Opera Kansas City's Turandot, music critic Alex Ross praised the soprano, writing for The New Yorker that she "sang Liù in sensuously glowing tones, her charged legato shaping the music into cogent paragraphs. Liù's death scene tore at the heart." Caballero made her Seattle Opera debut in 2009 as Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro, and Demuro made his U.S. debut with the company that same year, as Alfredo in La traviata. "To call the young Sardinian tenor a spectacular talent is to do him less than justice: this is an artist not merely spectacular but profound and potentially great," wrote The Seattle Times of Demuro. Also returning for La Bohème are Norah Amsellem as Musetta and former Seattle Opera Young Artist Michael Todd Simpson as Marcello. Both sang in Seattle Opera's 2011 Carmen, as Micaëla and Escamillo, respectively.
Sunday and Friday performances of La Bohème feature the company debuts of Jennifer Black as Mimì, Michael Fabiano as Rodolfo, and Keith Phares as Marcello. On February 24 and March 3 and 10 only, Jennifer Zetlan, who created the role of The Flier in Hagen's Amelia, alternates as Musetta. All performances feature Arthur Woodley as Colline, along with former Young Artist Andrew Garland as Schaunard and Tony Dillon as Alcindoro/BenoiT. Woodley has been a familiar face at the company this season, fresh off successful performances as Alidoro in La Cenerentolaand Rocco in Fidelio.
At the helm of this production is Stage Director Tomer Zvulun, with Conductor Carlo Montanaro leading the way in the pit. Zvulun earned rave reviews following his direction of the 2010 production of Lucia di Lammermoor, which Music-Web International hailed as "a practically unalloyed triumph." Montanaro likewise received praise for his Seattle Opera debut, conducting Massenet's Don Quichotte in 2011. The Classical Reviewcalled him "one of the finest young opera conductors to arrive in Seattle in years...[his] energy and musical sensitivity were manifest in every line of the score." Sets for this production of La Bohème are designed by Erhard Rom, with costumes by Martin Pakledinaz and lighting by Robert Wierzel.
Seattle Opera's Family Day matinee on March 10 offers families a huge discount: adults may purchase up to four $15 youth tickets for every full-priced adult ticket. For information and tickets, visit http://seattleopera.org/tickets/2012-2013/boheme/family_day.aspx.

Family Day Sponsor: Elaine Miller, in loving memory of her sister, Mary Bell Willis Schneider
2012/13 Season Sponsor: Gladys Rubinstein, in memory of Sam Rubinstein
La Bohème premieres Saturday, February 23, and runs through Saturday, March 10. Tickets are available online at seattleopera.org or by calling206.389.7676 or 800.426.1619. Tickets may also be purchased at the Box Office by visiting 1020 John Street (two blocks west of Fairview), Monday to Friday between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm (Wednesday 9:30-3:00 pm).

Foothills Christian 60, The Rock 48
Foothills Christian freshman T.J. Leaf said he enjoyed the challenge of playing against The Rock's 6-foot-11 senior Ali Morovati. Leaf did so despite giving away four inches to the Warriors post man in Wednesday night's San Diego Section Division V semifinal at Mount Miguel.
"I used my quickness to offset his size advantage," said Leaf, who scored a game-high 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the Knights' 60-48 victory.
Foothills Christian will meet Horizon on Friday in Viejas Arena for the title. The Knights have won five of the last six Division V championships.
Leaf dribbled around and shot over Morovati all night as he nailed 11 of 15 shots from the floor. Two of his connections were 3-pointers.
Knights coach Brad Leaf was impressed by his son's domination of the game.
"Hey, I'm a coach and he's my son, but there's no denying T.J. took over the game," the coach said.
Leaf scored 14 points in the second quarter, giving the Knights a 36-29 halftime edge over The Rock (20-8).
While Leaf was mopping up inside, freshman guard Luis Salgado-Villegas was hitting four 3-pointers on his way to a 14-point finish for Foothills Christian.
"He's our 'Latin Assassin,' " said T.J. Leaf. "If you leave him open, he's gonna hit it."

NASCAR & Auto Racing
Higgin's Scuffs: Strangers In The Pits
Surely, most NASCAR fans have seen television features or read stories about how elite the pit crews of top Cup Series teams have become.
They work out with professional trainers to get in top physical shape. They watch film of their performances like athletes in other pro sports, seeking to spot flaws they can correct. They practice repeatedly in an effort to shave tenths of precious seconds off their stops. They become specialists in jacking up the race car, changing tires and fueling the machine.
Hard to imagine nowadays, then, that a pick-up, almost-spur-of-the-moment crew once pitted the winner in a race as big as Daytona International Speedway's 400-miler each summer.
It happened in the Pepsi Firecracker 400 of July 4, 1985 as Greg Sacks drove an experimental Chevrolet to victory lane for what was to prove the only Cup win of his career.
The unlikely tale has been told often before, including several times by me. It bears repeating again as the teams gather once again at "The Beach" in Florida for the Coke Zero 400 on Saturday night.
Sacks had been chosen as driver of the special car by Bill Gardner, owner of the Charlotte-based DiGard team. Gardner said he'd decided on having crew chief Gary Nelson build the "research and development" Chevy in an effort to find something that might help his star driver, Bobby Allison, compete with Bill Elliott and his fleet Ford.
Elliott was dominant on the superspeedways at the time, having won seven on the big ovals to that point, which marked mid-season.
Understandably, Allison, who had won the 1983 Cup championship with DiGard, was not pleased with Gardner's decision to field a second car, never mind that he was winless in '85. He felt Nelson should have been concentrating on his Buick.
The tense situation worsened when Sacks qualified ninth fastest to Allison's 27th.
Elliott, expectedly, won the pole at a sizzling 201.523 mph.
Few observers felt that Sacks could be competitive. Not with THAT pit crew. Its members essentially were introducing themselves to each other right up to race time.
The squad included an Australian, Tony Price, who Nelson had hired only two weeks earlier. Price didn't even yet have a place to stay in Charlotte. He was sleeping in the garage where the car was maintained.
And the jackman was Robert Biestek, Gardner's son-in-law and a former Boston College running back who had never performed the task before.
To the astonishment of an estimated 59,000 spectators, the media and the other Cup competitors, Sacks hung near the front of the field with Elliott, Cale Yarborough and other leaders as the 160-lap race on the famous 2.5-mile track unfolded.
Sacks flashed his potential by leading laps 45-46 and then 100-121.
When Elliott was forced to pit his powerful Thunderbird an extra time for fuel while leading on Lap 151, Sacks flashed to the front and was ahead the rest of the way. Sacks took the checkered flag a whopping 23.5 seconds before runnerup Elliott got to the finish line.
Allison placed 18th, four laps behind.
Angered, Allison quit the DiGard operation a few days later and drove his own cars for a few races. He then joined the Stavola Brothers team in September.
While jubilant, Sacks and his teammates also seemed stunned and disbelieving in victory lane. The crewmen had performed almost flawlessly, including Biestek. Perhaps it shouldn't have been surprising that Biestek wasn't shaken by competing on a major level. He had once scored two touchdowns in 83 seconds as Boston College beat Alabama. (Now that's an upset!).
"It is going to be a while before the magnitude of this hits me," conceded Sacks, a modified division star back in his native New England.
Said Terry Labonte, the defending Cup champion from 1984, who finished eighth that day so long ago, "Not taking anything from Greg, but I am surprised he won under the circumstances (of the patched-together pit crew). I'll still be surprised tomorrow and I'll be surprised for a long time."
The widely-respected stock car racing historian Greg Fielden rates the triumph high among the biggest upsets ever in NASCAR.
And so it will remain forever.
Could it happen in this era of elite pit crews? Possible, of course, but highly, highly unlikely to be seen again.

Check out this before & after, I'm so thrilled with the results!
I'll be recovering the footstool shortly in the same Thibaut print which I so L-O-V-E. I'd cover every chair in my house with it if I could.
My dad purchased our Stork Craft Hoop Glider as a gift for the nursery back when we found out we were expecting. I loved the comfort of the glider but wanted to add a slip cover for two reasons, a. I wanted a washable option just in case spit up, etc stained the cushions and b. it was a great opportunity to add a modern pattern to the room.
Instead of tackling the project myself (beginning sewing novice over here…) I took the cushions to my local alterations/dry cleaning company (a hidden gem for upholstery work) and had the chair cushions covered for just $15 per piece. I had an actual upholstery company quote me just over $300 to do the same job.
I'm just getting the cushions back now because of my ordering error on the fabric. Lesson learned: always take into account shrinkage due to washing fabric before you determine how much you need! The 54″ width of the fabric shrunk to 48″ and I ended up needing twice as much in length to account for the missing width.
But the glider is in full use in the nursery now and it looks great! I couldn't be happier!

Is there any multiplayer or is it strictly single player?
Is there any multiplayer or is it strictly single player?
Almost 3 months later.... The only part of Sleeping Dogs that is online is their leaderboards. People on your friends list who also played the game would have their scores show up in your game. For example, if you were racing around the city and were traveling at a high speed for an extended period of time, it would pop up on the right with the message that you were making progress towards one of the in game challenges. It would also show you your friend's time who was next above your score and let you know when you passed it, and who the next person above them was as well. I don't know if that is still working though.
There WAS Triad Wars which was an online game, but not in an MMO sense. It is no longer around.

In addition to the announcement that Diablo III would be free for all World of Warcraft subscribers with an annual pass, Blizzard showed off a cinematic from the game, titled "The Black Soulstone".
In it, the character Leah (voiced by FemShep herself, Jennifer Hale), narrates, reading through her uncle's books, trying to figure out what it is that she's missing. Suddenly, she awakens in a hellish throneroom, where she faces off against a giant demon. "You thought you were so clever," said the demon. "One by one, our bretheren fell into our trap. But not me. I defy you! I know the Black Soulstone is the key, and it shall be mine!"
The demon then makes a bunch of apocalyptic promises, and things get very "Lord of the Rings march of the forces of Sauron"-y. Woah, man.

An Oasis in a Food Desert
Video courtesy of Mandela MarketPlace.
In West Oakland, California, the only source of food used to be corner stores and fast food restaurants. "Being short of breath, the hazy vision and all that—it would come and go, but I never thought of it as a big thing. I thought that was just normal health," says Ennis, a West Oakland resident who now works with Mandela Marketplace, a cooperative that buys healthy food grown on regional farms and then distributes it throughout the community at affordable prices—both at the market itself and from corner stores, where a team of area youth delivers fresh produce by bicycle.
"The work that we do connects two populations that have traditionally been left out of the mainstream food system: small-scale minority farmers and urban markets like West Oakland," says Quinton, the programs director for Mandela MarketPlace.
"A lot of the things in our neighborhood we can't control," he points out. "There's substandard housing all around, there's environmental pollution all around. But at the end of the day, you select what you put in your body."

In the last post, I asked my Texans fan readers to provide their feelings on who they want with the Texans first pick in the draft. I asked them to say their Yes! picks, their No! picks, and their meh picks. Obviously, this is not scientific at all but rather comes from Texans fans who care about the draft and happen to have left a comment at either the Chronicle site portal to the blog or the Ultimate Texans portion of the website.
Some notes about the results:
1. Some fans picked some players that are not likely going to fall to 26. Though they would be happy if those players fell, there was not much desire to trade up to get these players.
2. Some players were not mentioned because national discussion of these picks would suggest they would be chosen much lower than the 26th pick. If one of these players was chosen and it was surprise, this would result in teeth gnashing, angina, talk radio blurgh.
3. Some fans didn't have specific views on players, but rather general ideas about what positions or trades they would like, not like. This is shown in the infographics.
4. There's a few players that fans have a strong feeling about, either for or against. Some of it is because analysis of those players is all over the place nationally and locally. Some players were mentioned a lot because analysts have been mentioning those players going to the Texans a lot. The thing Texans fans most agreed on? Nobody supporting Alshon Jeffrey with the Texans first pick in the draft but a lot wanting him not picked.
5. Just because fans didn't like a player at 26, does not mean that they don't like that player at all. There was a lot of discussion in the comments on how they might not like a guy at 26 but would be okay if there was a trade down or if that guy was chosen in the 2nd round. Trade downs in general were a very popular topic.
6. Even though this is not a scientific cross section of the fanbase, I bet it explains the fan reaction the day of the draft. It also probably suggests how much the Texans have to educate their fans why they picked one guy over another. If they pick someone controversial, unfamiliar or disliked with the first pick, someone outside of traditional big board views of value, they better get their Pravda machine going in overdrive.
I don't think it is fair for fans to hate a pick on draft day because a guy can't help that they are picked by the Texans, and haven't even been given an opportunity to do something on the field. But I also don't think it serves the player or the team any good to not explain the detailed whys behind the pick.
The Texans have become a million times better at doing this in the post-Casserly era. You know, giving fans logic, reasons, background and saying a lot more than "If you don't like the pick, boo me." Texans fans ended up liking the Mario Williams pick more than is discussed in national media articles about the choice, but the Texans did a horrific job of foreshadowing/selling that pick before it was made and after. It was like Casserly felt it was sufficient to say, "Hey I like this guy better than Julius Peppers," "We need to rush Peyton Manning," "Boo me" and then calling it a day.
Find it interesting that in more recent years, it is a less controversial view to suggest that a running back needs to be extremely special to be picked high in the draft. That positional value seems to be given more attention than it was just 5 years ago. I know I see that in blog comments and more in TV/Radio sports talk in general.
[Note: I do not want this post to devolve into a Mario blah blah post. Bygones. Only discussing in the context that teams do themselves and their players a favor when they share their thinking in depth about draft picks instead of mostly saying "trust me, Charley Casserly a guy who is a lame duck GM and who traded multiple high round picks for Phillip Buchanon" and other some such I would rather not talk about ever again.]
Wordle Infographics.
I'm going to do a follow up post to this one with different infographics that show some other things, but this particular type of infographic is a Wordle. It shows "word clouds" that visually represent how much a particular thing is liked (or in some cases disliked).
Draft Picks That Some Texans Fans Would Say "YES!!!!" To.
Draft Picks That Some Texans Fans Would Say "NOOOOOOOOO! To.
Draft Picks That Some Texans Fans Would Say "Meh" To.
Draft Picks That Texans Fans as a Group Like More Than Dislike.
Draft Picks That Texans Fans as a Group Dislike More Than Like.
Any thoughts about this infographic? Will be an interesting time capsule blog post to look at right after the draft, and a lot after the draft. I bet it will explain post-draft freakouts, non-freakouts.
The Texans draft board tends not to look like the national draft board guys' boards. At pick 26, the only surprising thing would be a non-surprise.

Holika Holika!
It's a Korean brand, it is super cute so expect a lot more appearances from the brand on the blog!
I bought two of these Fairy Bakery Muffin Eye Shadows (what a mouthful!). These eyeshadows have two sides, and both sides are marbled. I like these kinds of eyeshadows – I still think Too Faced Galaxy ones are the best.
I picked two:
The packaging is not bad, nothing extraordinary. Here are the shades:
03 Forbidden Blueberry is very nice – it's a purple based blue and the other side is a siler with some dark blue bits running through. You can adjust these accordingly by picking up colour from specific parts of the eyeshadow.
04 Mirage is a silvery beige with a warm plum/pink. It's unusual but also very pretty.
The textures of these are a bit hard (as I find a lot of baked eyeshadows are) BUT they are still really pigmented and lovely. There is a bit of fall out and the shimmer is nice, not too glittery.
There are 3 more shades in this range – nothing inspiring so I hope they bring out more interesting colours in this range.
Well worth trying out, these cute eyeshadows have everything in one! I paid about £7 each for these on eBay.

You know I'm a bit of an elitist when it comes to tablets. For one, I have access to just about every kind of electronic device on the planet because of my work. For another, I have a propensity to think about Android devices as superior to anything else. So when I had the opportunity to take a look at the Verizon Wireless WiFi Apple iPad I did so, but I was thinking "It's an overgrown iPod touch; big deal".
After about 20 minutes I had Cydia on the iPad. Pretty cool. 5 minutes after that I had "Frash" installed, which is a hacked up version of Adobe Flash that will let you do just about anything on an iPad with the exception of playing some Flash Games. So you can interact with Flash websites, watch flash video, etc… I was pretty excited that things went so easy with the installation and my inner geek was being fed a steady diet of nerd that my original thoughts about the iPad started to waver. One of the big draw backs to iPhone/iPod and iPad is the missing Flash capability. Steve Jobs has a pretty convincing video addressing his reasons, and once you hear him and watch him deliver the message you understand where he is coming from.
To summarize he basically says that Flash allows developers to make apps for multiple devices at the same time (for instance android, pc, and apple devices). While that sounds great, when Apple does their updates they regularly introduce new features. Adobe doesn't change their development platform until all the devices have those features so they only have to make changes to the code once. Which means that anything developed on the flash platform would not take advantage of Apple's advances as soon as they are available. Steve Jobs says that Apple comes out with things before anyone else and that is why people buy their stuff. There is no reason to buy their stuff if software isn't taking advantage of the new features until all the devices have it.
The problem with Steve Jobs and his opinion is it's not logical. If the features were important developers would develop the new versions of their apps in Structured C anyway so they could gain more market share in that niche. Most of the serious development teams code on many platforms and hopping back and forth isn't the end of the world. So bottom line is the small features *MIGHT* get overlooked by *SOME* developers but not by all of them; there are just too many developers and the competition is fierce. The second problem with Steve Jobs and his opinion is it doesn't matter. It's an inconvenience to the vast majority of his user base and severely limits their activity on a product they own. This is costing him ALOT of money, and making a lot of his user base angry and frustrated. So most of the people that I know with an iPad who don't know how to "Jailbreak" their device and install "Frash" are telling people not to buy one it sucks. Most of the people that I know that bought one didn't even know you couldn't look at flash until after they bought it. So with Frash you can get through most of the issues, but it is still a half-baked solution that is flakey (and it is in beta).
AT&T seems to have the market cornered on the 3G version of the iPad so Verizon Wireless addresses this issue by bundling the iPad with their MiFi. Now before you scoff at this keep a few things in mind…
- There are plenty of apps that prevent you from doing things on 3G (you have to be on wireless). With the MiFi solution you can use those apps.
- The MiFi is the size of a thick credit card. It's easy to tuck away somewhere and forget about while you are using it. In addition you can hook up to 5 devices to it and since it runs on a power plug or battery you can literally take it with you anywhere. I get 1.5 – 2.0 Mbits a second down and up to .7 Mbit. This is not advertised speed this is what I have actually seen through real usage. This is better than most DSL connections! It's great on the train, you can use it in the office so you aren't being firewalled out of places you want to go (like IM's, or File-sharing for instance).
- AT&T service for me has been terrible. I don't use it because calls get dropped all the time, their customer service is awful, their plans are expensive and they are constantly hounding you to buy more stuff through e-mails or phone calls.
The more I use the Verizon Wireless Apple iPad the more I love it. Most of the time I'm at the house when I use it and since it has the fast Wireless-N feature I can hook into my "Fast" wireless (I actually have two separate wireless networks for my older devices and the iPad will connect to both N and A/B/G so there is no problem with connectivity). So let's go over some of the cool things you can do with the iPad.
You can "Jailbreak" your iPad and install an application called Cydia on it which will in turn allow you to install "Frash" the Adobe Flash clone. This will let you interact with Flash enabled websites, Flash Video and some small Flash Games (not a lot of them, and only a few Facebook games).
This is one of the finest offerings from Apple and they have been kind enough to offer it free from the Apple iStore. The iBooks application is not only BEAUTIFUL as you would expect from Apple, it has been designed with the idea that an eBook should act, look and feel just like a real book and it comes closer to that then any other application or eBook that I've seen. So I would without a doubt call this a complete eBook replacement. This means if you are an avid eBook reader you can subtract $200 from the price tag of this unit because you no longer have to buy an eBook Reader (Saving you the $200, it is almost like getting an instant rebate!).
It gets better. iBooks is not designed to be hard to use, or hard to get your existing eBooks on to. You can simply use Calibur (a free application available for both Mac and PC) and convert any of the eBooks you already have into epub format and then simply drag them into iTunes and Sync your iPad. It's that simple and Calibur will convert large batches of eBooks so you don't have to do this chore 1000 times to get them all converted over. It is really very useful and I applaud Apple for making this easy.
Interacting with the reader is terrific. When you open it up you have a Library mode which shows you a book shelf with your books sitting in it. You can scroll through them and select a book to read. Then you have Store mode which brings you to the Apple Book Store where you can purchase new books which will bring them down into your iBooks Application. When you select a book to read it opens the book and if you turn the iPad sideways it will show the image of a book opened with two pages. You can turn the page by tapping on the right or left side of the book, or you can drag your finger like you would on a real book. When you drag your finger the page peels up and you can turn the page, the graphic is absolutely real looking and the text on the other side of the page shows as it peels (and it is the real text of that page not just a dummy image made up to look good).
As I said… this is absolutely the best eBook reader on the market as of the publishing of this article.
If you need to remote desktop into your main Windows computer or Mac/Linux computer you can do so. There are plenty of Remote Desktop applications that provide the ability to do all of them. In addition most have virtual keyboards and mouse functionality that allow you to completely control your computer remotely. This is incredibly handy if you are like me and need to access files from your computer from anywhere in your house or anywhere you have your MiFi!
Wow, and YES! Netflix has an Ipad app that is absolutely wonderful. You can watch movies, browse dvd's, add selections to your real queue or your instant queue and much more.
You can go to Playon.tv and purchase Playon from The Media Mall. This application is $30. You install it on your PC and then download the free Playon Application for your iPad. Once you are finished you will be able to watch anything on Hulu, Netflix, CBS, Comedy Central, TV.COM, TBS, Spike TV, ESPN, ESPN 3, NFL Game Rewind, MLB, NHL, The Ultimate Fighter, CNN, Fox News, PBS, PBS Kids, Nick, Amazon VOD, You Tube, MTV, BET, Vevo, Pandora, Food Network, History Channel, ScripTV, Open Film and more.
Another important thing about the Playon service is you can share out the movies you have on your media share and watch all the movies you have converted from DVD or downloaded (to save yourself the time of converting them). This is streaming, not downloading so it takes up no space on your iPad and if you forward your ports you can watch all this television and movie content anywhere you have a MiFi 3G connection or Wireless Internet Access.
This is VERY worth while.
In Closing:
There are a number of really nice applications you can use to make your life easier and I plan on maintaining a list of applications that I find absolutely necessary to have. I find that as applications get updates they tend to become useful and useless depending on their updates, and bugs/issues so I'll add and REMOVE applications that are useful making sure to note why I'm removing one and what problem it is causing. (Some applications get memory leaks or have other bugs that interfere with the operation of your iPad).
I have to say that after using the Verizon Wireless WiFi iPad I have completely changed my mind about non-android devices. I find the WiFi iPad to be one of the most useful devices in my possession and will definitely miss it when I send it back to Verizon!

Brussels, 19 October 2010
Statement by Viviane Reding, Vice-President of the European Commission, EU Commissioner for Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship, on the recent developments concerning the respect for EU law as regards the situation of Roma in France
"The situation of Roma in France over this summer has raised substantial concerns. Therefore, the Commission, and I personally, have been following developments very closely during the past months.
On 29 September, the Commission emphasised that procedural safeguards must be respected whenever the right of EU citizens to free movement is restricted by public authorities. The Commission believes that procedural safeguards, as they are included in the EU's Free Movement Directive of 2004, serve to protect EU citizens against arbitrary, discriminatory or disproportionate decisions.
The Commission therefore asked the French government to ensure that these procedural safeguards are included in French legislation. And that this legislation is put into place swiftly.
We formally requested France to reply to our concerns by 15 October. In parallel, we prepared a letter of formal notice to be sent to France in case of a non-satisfactory response.
I'm glad to say today that France has responded positively, constructively and in time to the Commission's request.
Last Friday, the French authorities submitted detailed documentation to the Commission. This documentation includes draft legislative measures and a credible calendar for putting the procedural safeguards required under the EU's Free Movement Directive into French legislation by early 2011. France has thus done what the Commission had asked for.
This is proof of the good functioning of the European Union as a Community governed by the rule of law.
Following the official commitments made by France last Friday, the European Commission will now, for the time being, not pursue the infringement procedure against France decided by the College of Commissioners on 29 September.
The European Commission will closely watch over the full implementation of the commitments made by France, in the interest of EU law and EU citizens. The Commission also stands ready to assist the French authorities in ensuring that the new legislation is put in place swiftly and in full compliance with EU law.
In addition, the Commission will continue its work on promoting the economic and social integration of Roma in all EU Member States, whether country of origin or host country. We need to go to the root of the problem and encourage stronger national efforts in providing access to housing, education, health and the labour market and in eradicating poverty. In the context of the work of the Roma Task Force established by the Commission in September, we will examine how EU funds can help to further strengthen national measures for Roma integration. On this basis, the Commission will present an EU Framework for national Roma strategies next April.
It is now for all policy-makers, national as well as European, to show that the commitment to this largest European minority is not just a one-off matter. But that we now move on to action and results, on the basis of our European values and the fundamental right of non-discrimination".

As a formidable batsman he represented the county with distinction for more than two decades.
Now cricket legend Geoffrey Boycott is hoping to use his clout to life-saving effect as he begins a vital innings as an ambassador for one of Yorkshire's most high-profile charities.
The former England man has accepted an invitation to become a patron for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) after helping to raise more than £1million for the charity in the last year.
"I'm delighted to have been asked," he said. "It's a marvellous charity, serving Yorkshire – our county – and I'll do anything I can to help."
Boycott and his wife, Rachael, held a lavish fundraising dinner in the garden of their home in Boston Spa, near Leeds, earlier this year which raised about £35,000. But, keen to do more to help, Boycott then wrote to Chancellor George Osborne to request Government funding.
He said: "I didn't really expect a reply – I thought it would get lost with all the other correspondence he gets. But four days later I had a phone call from his secretary asking me if I had a minute to speak to the Chancellor and he said he'd give £1million for the air ambulance."
Boycott follows in the footsteps of another Yorkshire cricket legend, Fred Trueman, as a patron of the charity.
The charity's chairman Peter Sunderland, said: "As a Yorkshireman with a prominent international reputation, who better than Geoffrey Boycott to spread the word?"

The Greyboy Allstars
When The Greyboy Allstars first formed two decades ago they were nothing short of groundbreaking. They have influenced an entire generation of bands playing improvisational music in a funk format. Meanwhile, they have outlasted most of their contemporaries, because they have continued to enjoy working together and have honed the essence of their collaboration – also refining their chops while busy with their highly successful individual musical endeavors – without ever chasing trends. Throughout, they have continued to operate completely independently, slightly under the radar, with no major label support or radio airplay, while attracting thousands to legendary shows in cities across the country.
On Inland Emperor, The Greyboy Allstars' fourth studio album to date, one hears the benefits that accrue when a group of exceptional players with a wide variety of tastes and musical experiences continue to collaborate for 20 years. The cornerstones of The Greyboy Allstars sound remain the same: funk, soul and jazz; or, looked at another way, rhythm and spontaneity. Without attempting to recreate them, the band has drawn upon elements of many genres: old soundtracks, psychedelic garage rock, '80s dance music, '70s FM soft rock and Tropicalia, to name a few. As a result, Inland Emperor has the vibe of a mixtape whose tracks are united by an emphasis upon rhythm.
The Greyboy Allstars came together in 1994, when the individual members were asked to perform at a record release party for the landmark acid jazz and club staple "Freestylin," by San Diego's DJ Greyboy, who was famous for spinning `70s soul and funk. The guys so enjoyed playing together that they decided to continue on as a band. Right out of the box, The Greyboy Allstars starting playing weekly at San Diego's now defunct Green Circle, weekends at San Francisco's Elbo Room and various clubs throughout Europe. By playing danceable boogaloo music within the soul jazz genre, they became a national and international phenomenon. The lineup of the band remains nearly the same as it did on their breakthrough, West Coast Boogaloo: Denson on horns and vocals, Robert Walter on keyboards, Elgin Park (aka Michael Andrews) on guitars and vocals, and Chris Stillwell on bass. Original drummer Zak Najor has passed the baton on to Aaron Redfield, an old friend of the band and frequent collaborator. While DJ is no longer a member of the band, he remains a central figure in their artistic output, having introduced the band to many of the records that inspire their sound, produced their first album and appeared on 2007's What Happened to Television?
At this point, the band's members are as well known for their non-Allstars projects as for their work with the band. The individual members have gone to score film and television shows, work with platinum artists and bands both on the road and in the studio, and head their own highly regarded solo projects.
Even for these now well-seasoned musicians, the catalytic force that takes hold when they collaborate with each other seems to pleasantly surprise them. For Inland Emperor, they worked out the arrangements during the recording, which took place live over just a few sessions at Elgin Park's studio in Glendale, CA. Denson says of this accelerated pace of creation, "We do in one week would take me two months to do in any other situation." Amazingly, the 12 tracks comprising the album, mostly written by groupings of the band's members, are seamless performances, and sound as if they'd been rehearsed and road-tested for months.
Grammy Award-winning producer/engineer Mickey Petralia (Beck, Peaches, Eels, Flight of the Conchords) mixed the tracks, expertly capturing the energy and collaborative joy inherent in the recording.
Inland Emperor follows the critically acclaimed What Happened to Television?, which prompted The Los Angeles Times to write, "The [music of] this talented collective feels so cozy and organic you never want to leave its inviting groove."
This spring and summer, audiences across the country will have opportunities to experience The Greyboy Allstars' music in its ideal format: live. Given the likelihood that the chance won't come again soon, these are shows not to miss.

Are you ready for the Trilogy?
Dan Lehmann and I have been hard at work planning a new and exciting race at Spruce Knob coming this Oct. 8, 9, and 10. Complete information and entry should be ready to roll within the next week, but I just wanted to give folks a jump start on planning....or a little tease. Trust me, you will not want to miss this!

A small electric heater placed in a corner bedroom sparked a house fire that killed a family pet Sunday morning, Amarillo Fire Department officials said.
The fire at 4101 S. Van Buren St. started about 5:30 a.m., Capt. Jacob Oehlert said in a news release.
Four residents were home when the blaze started. They tried unsuccessfully to put it out, Oehlert said.
One of the residents suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene, he said.
Firefighters had the blaze under control about 6:20 a.m., Oehlert said.
Property damage was estimated at $50,000, he said.
The appraised value of the house is $75,300, according to Potter-Randall Appraisal District.
The investigation is ongoing, Oehlert said.

Exploring Problem Solving
|Introduction | Chairs, Stools, and Tennis Balls | Problem Reflection | Your Journal
In order for teachers to increase their effectiveness, it's helpful to explore how problem solving relates to developing a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. Our own elementary school experience with problem solving may have been limited to solving "story problems" at the end of a set of practice exercises. Problem solving in today's mathematics class involves much more.
In this section, we will take a look at your, rather than your students', approach to a problem. As you solve this problem, think about the strategies you use and the steps you follow. Analyzing your own problem solving, allows you to experience firsthand the importance of reflection in the problem-solving process. The more experience you have in solving problems and reflecting on your own approach to the problems, the more effective you will become in developing the Problem-Solving Process Standard as the foundation of mathematics instruction and learning in your classroom.

Patrick and Catherine both came from Collins families outside Drimoleague, one of the *many* Collins families I am investigating in the area.
I think Catherine was the daughter of Michael Collins and Mary Donovan of Lower Lissane. The 1911 census says she was 78, which would fit with an 1833 birth year. (Her age seems way off in the 1901 census.)
In a prior post I "assigned" a Catherine Collins, born 1820 in Lissane, to a Donovan family in Lissalohorig. Now I am assigning another Catherine Collins, born 1833, to this Bawnnahow family. Their fertility windows are being taken into account, with an assumption that women stopped having babies somewhere between 45 and 50. Beyond 50 is starting to push the limit.
There was a 13 year span for the births of the Lissalohirig children: 1852 - 1865.
There was a 15 year span for the Bawnnahow family: 1860 - 1875. It is considerably more difficult fitting 1820 Catherine in this scenario, having nine children between the ages of 40 and 55. 1833 Catherine is a much better candidate.
Patrick's original family is a bit harder to pin down, but since this family lived in Bawnnahow South that's where I have started to look. The godparents of Pat's and Catherine's second child Mary (1861), were Simon Collins and Johanna Driscoll. Simon and Johanna had a son Patrick baptized in 1834. Patrick's and Catherine's first child, Johanna (1860), could have been named after Johanna Driscoll. But they didn't have a known son named Simon. So maybe Simon Collins and Johanna Driscoll were a related family.
There was another family, Patrick Collins and Mary Cadogan, who also had a son Patrick in 1834. Since Patrick's and Catherine's first son was Patrick, this appears to be a better fit. But if Patrick and Catherine both had mothers named Mary, it doesn't explain how their first child was named Johanna. If these are the correct families for Patrick and Catherine, there must have been another reason for how Johanna came to be named.
The Bawnnahow children were: Johanna (1860), Mary (1861), Catherine (1862), Patrick (1867), James (1868), Honora (1871), John (1873), Patrick again (1874), and Humphrey (1875). I will have to verify the two Patricks when I have a chance to look at the civil registration records.
The witnesses to the church events of the Bawnnahow family were: Michael Collins (her father?) and Catherine Collins; William Harnedy and Ellen Neill; Simon Collins and Johanna Driscoll; James Collins and Mary Collins; Pat Donovan and Honora Collins; James Collins and Ellen Hurley; Patrick Donovan and Johanna Mahony; John Sullivan and Hannah Collins; William Harnedy and Eliza Hourihan; and Daniel Harnedy and Honora Sullivan. (Notice there are no Cadogan witnesses.)
A sticking point is the presence of son Humphrey in 1875 (who, incidentally, is grossly mistranscribed as "Helen" in the online church records). If I have found the correct Catherine as the mother, she had an older brother (a rather mysterious character) and probably an uncle named Humphrey (deceased by the the time his grand-nephew was born), and so her son could have been their namesake. Why didn't Patrick and Catherine use the name Michael, after her father, prior to using the name Humphrey ? Maybe they thought there were too many Michaels running around - but Humphrey would stand out.
Humphrey became a priest and taught at Niagara University in the United States. He died during the flu epidemic in 1919.
Son James married one Mary McCarthy before 1901. The family is in both Ireland censuses. Son Humphrey (1910) became a local Drimoleague creamery manager, married Ellen McCarthy, and died in 1975.
The Family Search ID of Catherine Collins is KCDY-BC8. She and her original Lissane family are in Family Search Family Tree. No family data for Patrick Collins has been entered yet as his family is still being researched.

For the last few years, I have been participating in a Department of Homeland Security sponsored effort to develop principles and applications for the evaluation of information and communication technology (ICT) research. If you are not familiar with the Menlo Report, you can find a description in Michael Bailey, David Dittrich, Erin Kenneally, and Douglas Maughan. The Menlo Report. Security & Privacy, IEEE, 10(2):71–75, March/April 2012.
I and two of my Menlo colleagues -- Wendy Vischer and Erin Kenneally -- recently taught a didactic course at the PRIM&R Advancing Ethical Research conference in San Diego. (PRIM&R is the conference for Institutional Review Board, or IRB, professionals, with the annual AER conference having thousands of attendees). Our course primarily described the Menlo Report process to date, but we concluded with a mock IRB committee review of a fictional proposed research project in which researchers develop countermeasures to malicious botnets in social network platforms like Facebook using a combination of deception to build a social network of over 1 million users and to then use "good bots" that infiltrate the "bad bots". Read more »
I would like to inform you all about our recent activities that we are attempting to achieve.
First of all, we have totally rebuilt our web site. This new ones aim to be a central repository of all the (external/internal) news concerning botnets (mainly) and malwares (secondary).
We will use the blog for posting about our project developments, and for commenting/reporting interesting news concerning the field that we are currently treating, so you can now add a new entry to your feeds reader :) Read more »
