Counting cards means taking note of the card tally as the dealer goes through the deck. By tallying, you will be in a position to know which cards are likely to appear for the dealer and you in the next hand. With that little information, you can ascertain when to make a small bet. It is not always good for you to have small-numbered cards in your deck. It reduces the chances of you getting the 21 points and a bonus on your first two cards, and the dealer might bust. Remember the Slots Jar Experience ensures you get to keep your winnings!
Blackjack card counting adds 1 percent to your odds. That may not be much, but after many hands and more hours; you are likely to net in the green.
Geniet die Praktiese bietjie Blackjack kaart toe Op Slot Jar
Card counting strategies are many. However, the easiest and the best system is what is referred to as the High-Low strategy. This strategy requires that the player keeps a simple mental computation of 3 groups of cards. Every time a high number appears on the table (the face cards and 10s), the Blackjack card counting player subtracts one from his or her tally. Every time the twos and the sixes appear the Blackjack card counting player to the tally. The 7s, the 8s, and 9s are ignored.
To illustrate the above, if the running tally is plus three, the implication is that the cards that will appear later on might be high, giving the player a chance to bet big. In the event that the tally drops to negative two, the dealer will enjoy high odds because of the subsequent low cards. This means the player will then have to bet small. The count will definitely drop to zero when the deck is shuffled.

Courtesy of Tattoo Archive: Sometimes all it takes is just one image to set you off on a historical voyage. A few months ago, Mr. Grez from King Avenue Tattoo e-mailed me looking for help in identifying an old-time tattooist. Mr. Grez had a beautifully painted sheet of flash with a Homeward Bound image signed by Jim Fraser. Mr. Grez wanted to know if this Jim Fraser was the tattooist better known as James Fraser or Prof. J.S. Fraser. They are one and the same person…
Prof. Fraser tattooed on both coasts of the United States. Business cards in the Archive's collection show him working in Boston near Scollay Square at #148 Court Street and in at least in two locations in Los Angeles, at #408 and #433 South Main Street. Both the Scollay Square and South Main Street locations were famous for their tattooing. Tattoo shops lined these streets, along with burlesque shows, movie theaters, arcades, flop houses and the like.
Tattooists from the 1920s were often outspoken against the use of stencils in the process of tattooing. Being confident of their drawing skills, these tattooists often belittled others in their profession that used stencils; but none were more adamant about this than Prof. Fraser.
Sometimes known as "Freehand Fraser, his early business cards warned people about "amateurs and so-called professors" that used stencils and tracings. The irony of this is seen on Fraser's business card from his Boston days offering supplies, including machines, ink, needles, designs and stencils! On this same business card Fraser offered $100.00 for any design that he could not duplicate on the skin.
Later years found James Fraser in Los Angeles at #530 Court Street. From his business card it appears that he was out of the tattoo business as the card read "artist and designer to the trade." What trade he was referring to was not mentioned.
- Homeward Bound flash "drawn freehand by Jim Fraser", Mr. Grez Collection.
- Profs. Fraser and Brown's business card from their #408 South Main Street location. The tattooist Brown listed on this card was probably Edwin E. Brown.
- Prof. James Fraser's, "artist and designer to the trade" business card. From this card it appears that Fraser as now out of the tattoo business. This card appears to be from the 1950s.
- Prof. Fraser's business card from #433 South Main Street location.
- A flower doodle that was on the back of Fraser's Homeward Bound sheet, Mr. Grez Collection.
- Bernard Kobel photograph #1075. Kobel's caption read, "Another nice backpiece on a man showing the 'Rock of Ages' scene with a young woman clinging to the cross as the angry sea lashes at her and a ship sinks in the near distance. This was put on by Jim Fraser who claimed it was the world's largest free-hand work at that time."

Belly Putter Ban Imminent ? October 29 2012
It is commonly understood an official from the R&A will make presentations to the golf playing professionals at this week's HSBC WGC Champions event in Shenzhen and then at next week's Barclays Singapore Open. Mike Davis, the chief executive of the USGA, has already held such a seminar with PGA Tour players. It is likely that they will take a formal vote in March, to decide if, and when, the ban will come into force. It is possible that a ban could be in place for competition from the start of 2013, or they may wait until the end of the current rules cycle which runs through December 2015. Either way it looks fairly certain that they are going to eradicate the belly putter altogether. The catalyst for this action seems to be the fact that three of the last five major winners have used belly-putters. Strangely enough there is no mention of the broom-stick putter in this decision-making process, but if the ruling is based on Anchoring, rather than the length of the putter, jamming a putter under your chin, or chest would also be eliminated.
Davis Love 111, the US Ryder Cup captain, attended the meeting with the USGA representative in Georgia, he expressed the view that whatever path the authorities took, they should proceed with haste.
" If they said today, we met with the Tour and we're going to change putters; Keegan Bradley is going to get himself a conforming putter and he's still going to be a really good putter. He's just going to have to make a change, but you'd rather not talk about it for three years and have it be a distraction." Webb Simpson, the US Open champion is already practicing with a conventional putter, in readiness of a rule change, although he disagree's with the argument for a ban; " I'm friends with a lot of the R&A and the USGA guys and I know they are trying to do it for the betterment of the game. But I don't think it's a good decision. If you look at the stats, last year there was no one in the top 20 of the strokes gained category who anchored a putter. So you have to throw out the argument of it's an advantage right there. There's a bunch of arguments going around but I haven't heard a good one yet." Players like Matt Kuchar, who use a long putter but do not Anchor it will be free to continue using such equipment if the ban itself is centered on the anchoring point and not just the length of the putter. It will be extremely interesting to see how this event pans out, is it really going to make the game better, or fairer, I actually doubt it.

The URLConnection class contains many methods that let you communicate with the URL over the network. But the URLConnection doesn't provide a callback mechanism to know the data read progress. Java's support of interfaces provides a mechanism by which we can get the equivalent of callbacks. The trick is to define a simple interface that declares the method we wish to be invoked and to notify the data read progress of a URLConnection.
We define our Event as follows.
// FileDownloadEvent.java public interface FileDownloadEvent { // This is just a regular method so it can return something or // take arguments if you like. public void dataReadProgress (int done, int total, byte data[]); public void done(boolean error); }
There is two methods, the dataReadProgress() and thedone() method. We invoke the dataReadProgress() each time we read a chunk of data to notify the data read progress. We use the done() method to inform the data read is over or an error has happened.
The class that will signal the event needs to expect objects that implement the dataReadProgress interface and then invoke the dataReadProgress() method as appropriate.
We will keep a counter for the downloaded data and fire the dataReadProgress event each time we read a chunk of data.
// FileDownload.java import java.net.URL; import java.net.URLConnection; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.DataInputStream; import java.io.BufferedInputStream; import java.util.Arrays; import java.lang.Thread; import java.lang.Runnable; public class FileDownload extends Thread implements Runnable { private FileDownloadEvent ie; private InputStream is = null; private DataInputStream dis = null; private int dataReadSize = 4096; private String downloadURL = null; public FileDownload (FileDownloadEvent event) { // Save the event object for later use. ie = event; } public void request (String url) { this.downloadURL = url; this.start(); } //... public void run () { boolean error = false; try { URL url = new URL(this.downloadURL); URLConnection fdCon = url.openConnection(); int total = fdCon.getContentLength(); is = url.openStream(); // throws an IOException dis = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(is)); byte[] data = new byte[dataReadSize]; int progress = 0, n; while ((n = dis.read(data)) > 0) { progress += n; this.ie.dataReadProgress (progress, total, data); Arrays.fill(data, (byte)0); } } catch (Exception e) { error = true; } this.ie.done(error); } // ... }
The code that wishes to receive the event notification must implement the FileDownloadEvent interface and just pass a reference to itself to the event notifier or do as in the below code.
// Download.java public class Download { public static void main(String args[]) { // Create the event notifier and pass ourself to it. FileDownload req = new FileDownload (new FileDownloadEvent() { // Define the actual handler for the event. public void dataReadProgress (int done, int total, byte[] data) { System.out.println("Progress: " + ((float)done/(float)total) * 100 + "%"); // Do something with data... } public void done (boolean error) { System.out.println("Download Completed."); // Do something... } }); req.request("http://somedomain/path/to/file.gz"); // Do something } }
That's all there is to it. I hope use this simple Java idiom will be useful to someone.

Polyarteritis nodosa is a serious blood vessel disease in which small and medium-sized arteries become swollen and damaged.
Alternative Names
Periarteritis nodosa
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Polyarteritis nodosa is a disease that affects arteries, the blood vessels that carryoxygen-rich blood to organs and tissues. The cause is unknown, but it occurs when certain immune cells attack the affected arteries.
More adults than children get this disease. The tissues that are fed by the affected arteries do notget the oxygen and nourishment they need, and become damaged.
People with active hepatitis B and C may develop this disease.
Symptoms are caused by damage to affected organs, often the skin, heart, kidneys, and nervous system.
Symptoms include:
Abdominal pain Decreased appetite Fatigue Fever Joint aches Muscle aches Unintentional weight loss Weakness
If nerves are affected, you may have numbness, pain, burning, and weakness. Damage to the nervous system may cause strokes or seizures.
Signs and tests
No lab tests are available to diagnose polyarteritis nodosa. You will have a physical examination.
Lab teststhat can helpconfirm the diagnosis include:
Arteriogram Complete blood count(CBC) Erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) or C-reactive protein(CRP)
- Tissue
Treatmentuses medications to suppress the immune system, including steroids such as prednisone. Often, similar medications, such as cyclophosphamide, are used.
For polyarteritis nodosa that is related to hepatitis, treatment may involve plasmapheresis and antiviral medicines.
Expectations (prognosis)
Current treatmentswith steroids and other drugs that suppress the immune system (such as cyclophosphamide) can improve symptoms and the chance of long-term survival.
The most seriouscomplications usually involve the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract.
Without treatment, the outlook is poor.
Heart attack Intestinal necrosisand perforation Kidney failure Stroke
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of this disorder. Early diagnosis and treatment may improve the chance of a good outcome.
There is no known prevention. However, early treatment can prevent some damage and symptoms.

Scientifically discussed effects of low-frequency fields
Strong electric and magnetic fields exceeding the existing limit values can lead to health impairments. Whether low-frequency fields could have any further health effects, apart from these established effects, - possibly below the limit values, too - is currently being researched.
Diseases of the nervous system
Some epidemiological studies indicated an increased risk of certain diseases of the nervous system, such as Alzheimer's disease. This mainly affected individuals who had been exposed to strong low-frequency electric and magnetic fields for occupational reasons. However, not all epidemiological studies showed this association.
Epidemiological studies investigate the distribution of diseases in a population and deal with the factors influencing this distribution. They show statistical correlations which, however, do not necessarily have to mean a causal relationship. Therefore, it is important to complement epidemiological studies by experimental studies, that is, investigations in human subjects, animals or cell cultures.
In the case of nervous system diseases, the findings of epidemiological studies have not yet been confirmed by laboratory investigations. Furthermore, no biological mechanism is currently known that could provide an explanation or scientific evidence for the findings of the studies. However, further scientific research is carried out on the possible association between low-frequency fields and diseases of the nervous system. Studies of this kind are promoted by the BfS.

Cancers in adults
Since the late 1970ies, the question whether low-frequency fields may cause cancers has been investigated. In adults, even with long-term field exposure, no relationship between low-frequency fields and the risk of developing cancer has been established.
Childhood leukaemia
In children, however, several epidemiological studies found an increased risk of developing leukaemia when children were permanently exposed to magnetic fields which were higher than average, but below the exposure limit.
Most of these studies investigated the residential total magnetic field exposure. High-voltage lines near homes can contribute to the exposure. In most housing in Germany the proportion due to high-voltage lines is comparatively small. House wiring and electrical appliances usually make a larger contribution.
The magnetic field exposure value, starting from which an increased risk of leukaemia has been observed, is around 0.3 to 0.4 microtesla (µT) averaged over a day. Such values are rarely found in German households. On average, values for rural areas are below 0.1 microtesla, for urban areas around 0.12 microtesla.
Source: Krebs in Deutschland 2005/2006. Häufigkeiten und Trends. 7. Ausgabe. Robert Koch-Institut (Hrsg) und die Gesellschaft der epidemiologischen Krebsregister in Deutschland e. V. (Hrsg). Berlin, 2010
Childhood leukaemia is a rare disease
As only a few children are exposed to magnetic fields above 0.3 microtesla and childhood leukaemia is a comparatively rare disease (about 54 cases per 1,000,000 children under 15 years, that is, 600 newly diagnosed cases per year in Germany), the epidemiological studies are based on a relatively low number of cases. It is all the more important to complement the findings of the epidemiological studies by experimental laboratory studies. To date, however, laboratory studies have not confirmed the findings.
The question whether magnetic fields really contribute to the development of childhood leukaemias is being further investigated. The Federal Office for Radiation Protection encourages further research and provides precautionary recommendations. However, even if a causal relationship could be established, only a small proportion of childhood leukaemia cases would be explained by magnetic field exposure. In general, too little is yet known about the causes of this disease. Here also, further research is needed.
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity
Studies conducted by the BfS have shown that just under two per cent of the German population consider themselves to be electromagnetically hypersensitive. They attribute various complaints, such as headaches, sleep disturbance, fatigue and concentration problems to the presence of electric and magnetic fields in their environment.
For a long time, science has been trying to understand the phenomenon of electromagnetic hypersensitivity. The common conclusion of the numerous studies conducted to date, is that a causal relationship between electric and magnetic fields and the complaints of electromagnetically hypersensitive individuals is highly unlikely. This view is also held, among others, by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Tammy's "Turquoise Whimsy" Room
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Tammy
- Location:
- Kfar Tavor Israel
- Division:
- International
- Inspiration for my palette:
- I love blue and especially turquoise, which is a very calming yet uplifting color because of the yellow it contains. I decided to use these as the base of my color palette and balance the blues out with blonde wood, silver (the backsplash), yellows, lime greens, and additional accent colors. The Orly Kiely wallpaper offsets the turquoise kitchen and creates a whimsical feel.
- Colors used in my room:
- Lots of shades of blue (mainly turquoise), yellow, light greens, fuschia, orange
- Tips for using color successfully:
- I love color and think it's best to just go for it and have fun, and not try and tone it down because the result is then not usually what you were aiming for (neither here nor there). I do suggest choosing one main color palette (either tones of the same color or a complementary color scheme) and creating harmony by balancing out with accent colors. Also, once you use enough tones and shades, pretty much any color in small amounts will go with your color scheme.

Too much spare time on their hands?
EnglishRussia.com has the following to say about these dedicated individuals:
There are a lot of fans of "Fallout" game across the world. In Russia this electronic entertainment piece is widely recognized too. Sometimes the anticipation to game goes so strong that devoted people are trying to transfer the gameplay to real life, stating that some Russian abandoned locations are a perfect fit for an image of "New California" after it was bombed by nuclear missiles.Those costumes are pretty amazing -- see the full gallery over here.
Brothers of steel, rangers, peaceful citizens, raiders and many others are those who you can meet if to visit one of those locations. "Game is so attractive when it's played for real that sometimes you even forget that this is the game", says one of the participants. "Especially if you try to keep the quality of the costumes and everything as much high and close to the game as possible", he adds.
Bryn says: Russian gamers sure do take their leisure time seriously. Remember the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. cosplayers? Those Brotherhood outfits are first class. Someone give these guys an award... I only hope that those automatic guns aren't real.

Gerard Butler Talks North Korea & 'Olympus Has Fallen'
Gerard Butler chats on his cell phone while leaving an office building on Wednesday (April 17) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 43-year-old actor recently chatted with GQ UK about the similarities between his new film Olympus Has Fallen and the recent situation in North Korea.
"We were very careful to make it not necessarily about North Korea, but a very focused radical organization with their own complex motivations," Gerard said. "In the movie we present North Korea as it is: it's a dangerous opponent, and it is aggressive, but it doesn't instigate this attack."
FYI: Gerard is wearing a Rogue shirt.

"...I think it's really and truly a jihad. It's a terror exactly like the one our country is at war against, where the ideology of the "oppressed" can find no satisfaction in this life. The Lance-haters: They are nihilists. What is their purpose of their anger? What endgame, exactly, do they want to see? I have some bad news for them: Everyone who raced the Tour de France in 1999 was on EPO. Do you not understand that? Why the outrage at a fact that no one disputes?
Tell me this: What is Lance's path to penance? Clearly confession isn't the answer. If it were, Jonathan Vaughters wouldn't still be tap-dancing around the issue of his own doping. And if confession reliably earned Christ-on-a-cross-like redemption, Joe Papp and Patrick Sinkewitz could plot their racing comebacks. But, no, a rational path to cleansing doesn't exist for the haters. It's because they're not rational. It's because they're suckers. They're suckers for the would-be eloquence and fashion sense of the preening David Millar. They're suckers for the cuddliness of family man Erik Zabel. The haters think they're la Résistance, but in fact no one has proven more susceptible to the modern-day crafting of character -- where public figures aren't appraised by their deeds, but rather are judged by the packaging job concocted by high-dollar PR firms with their expert media manipulation. Like the fat fuck idiots who run me off the road when I train who honest-to-God believe in "Must See TV": The haters run like rats to their media addictions: The New York Times, Paul Kimmage, "honest" interviews with the spokesmodels of Team Garm*n. Here's what the Tour of California taught me: Lance has no path to penance. Why? It's because there's something the haters hate even more than him: That the world doesn't share their self-righteous outrage. Their capricious use of forgiveness proves that there's no true north for their moral compass.
- Speaking of Paul Kimmage, he of the starry-eyed Team Garm*n worship, let's not forget the fact that in his cri de coeur "A Rough Ride" he makes it clear that he experimented with doping during his own pro days. There's no shame in that. As his book makes clear, life is complicated. It's interesting, then, that he's so eager to play character-assassin to Lance. Stones, glass houses, etc. Why, Paul, why? I have a theory: It's guilt that motivates Paul Kimmage in his splenetic, very public hatred of Lance. He can't stomach the experience of his own personal doping experimentation. It's as though confessing it in his book wasn't enough, and forgiveness can only come through more punishment. Punishment of himself? No way. It's punishment of others who might be guilty of the same.
I can already hear the ripostes of the haters. There's a world of difference, they'll say, between Kimmage's youthful doping dalliance and Lance's methods. I'm sorry, but nary a shred of proof exists of that. In lieu of facts, the haters will compensate with the Great Wall of Vitriol. In the place of due process, they prefer the ease of trial-by-media. I agree that there's a "world of difference" here: It's a talent level that differentiates Paul and Lance. As bike racers. And as effective communicators..."
"...Lance-haters, I appreciate meaningful dialogue. With this in the forefront of my mind, I yield the floor to you, my esteemed colleagues whose second-most prized asset is their David Millar-autographed copies of Rouleur #8 (featuring a glossy full page photo of a freshly-scrubbed, looking-thoughtful DM head-to-toe in Paul Smith at the foot of the Eiffel Bridge in Girona.) Please help me understand: (1) Why the selective forgiveness? I have a soft spot for Kazakh riders. What will it take for you to embrace the no-less-guilty-than-Millar Vinokourov and Kasheckin? And Papp and Sinkewitz? (2) What will cause you to lower your moral crosshairs from Lance? Let's get into the realm of the purely theoretical: If he surrendered his '99 maillot jaune who is the innocent that we'll hand it down to? Jesus, look at that top-15. It reads like death row! How about a Festina rider? A Casino rider? A Mercatone Uno rider? Look at all 141 finishers -- not unlike life, who there is without sin? Let me narrow the questions to this: What is Lance's way to penance? Or would you prefer not to get into that, since forgiveness to Lance would deprive you of your most prized asset, the thing that finally gives you a sense of purpose in life: Your white-hot hatred of Lance."
Full, delicious entry here.

I was in Aarhus recently for a MADALGO workshop on large-scale parallel and distributed models, where I did a sequence of lectures on GPU algorithms. I was briefly interviewed by a university reporter for an article, and did a little video on why I think big data/big iron problems are interesting.
At the risk of embarrassing myself even more than I usually do, here's the video. Note that this was recorded at a time of great crisis across the globe, when all hair styling products had mysteriously disappeared for a few days.

Military Records in Hispanic Research
This article originally appeared in "Hispanic Research" by George R. Ryskamp, JD, AG in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
The number of peninsular troops stationed in a colony and the extent of the organization of provincial units varied depending on the time period and the colony. Study the history of the military in a colony to better understand an ancestor's involvement.
Service Sheets (Hojas de Servicios)
These military service records are found in all Hispanic military organizations. Generally, the name of the officer or soldier, the date and place of birth, and the names of his parents are at the top of the sheet. The body of the record is a detailed, date-by-date list of the various assignments and ranks of the soldier's military service. This may be brief and occupy only single page, as in the attached image, a service sheet for a Spanish officer who served in Louisiana in 1792, or it may contain many pages.
Personal Files or Petitions (Expedientes Personales)
These were generally petitions compiled for a specific purpose, such as to request permission to marry or to request and prove worthiness for a special promotion or pension. In many archives, these expedientes personales may be arranged in special sections, such as expedientes de academÃa (academy files), expedientes matrimoniales (marriage files), or expedientes de pensión (pension files), or they may be arranged alphabetically with the various petitions for a particular soldier or officer filed together under his name.
Military Parish Records
The various units of the Spanish army, being overwhelmingly Catholic, had their own capellanes (chaplains). These military priests performed sacraments for officers and soldiers and their families, and recorded those sacraments in special parish registers. A soldier had the option of having the sacraments for himself and his family performed by the military chaplain or the local ecclesiastical authorities. It is possible, therefore, to find for a single family within the same generation some baptisms, marriages, and last rites performed by local priests and others by military chaplains.
In Spain, access to the military parish records kept by the Vicariato General Castrense in Madrid requires permission from military and ecclesiastical authorities. Inquiries concerning consultation of these records should be addressed to the Vicario General, Secretaria General del Ejército, Alcalá 9, Madrid, España. This collection covers not only records for Spain itself but also those for colonial military units in Cuba, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico. In Mexico, the presidios (forts) had their own chaplains; those records are not found in military archives but in local church and civil archives.
Published Transfers and Promotions
It was customary in the Spanish army to maintain promotion lists in accordance with tenure as an officer. In addition, at least annually, the official promotion lists were given in published form as orders, which were distributed throughout the military. These lists have been bound into books and are available in several of the military archives. Generally, they apply to the nineteenth century and include officers serving in the military in the colonies as well as in Spain.
Enlistments (Filiaciones)
These are the individual listings (in some cases on separate sheets called hojas de filiación) of the soldiers in the army, as distinguished from the officers. This is the record that is more likely to exist for the common soldier, while the hoja de servicios and/or the expediente personal is more likely to exist for the officer. Generally, filiaciones have the names of the soldier, his parents, his birthplace, place of residence, religion, whether or not he is married, and a physical description. In some cases, these records will also contain information, such as the hoja de servicio, which shows the various places where the soldier served. Unfortunately, unless arranged alphabetically as part of the initial filing, these filiaciones are much less likely to be indexed and therefore are not easily accessible to the researcher. For this reason, when dealing with a non-officer, it is important to note any information concerning military service found in local or family records. The location of enlistment or the regiment in which a particular soldier served may be the key to finding his record. An excellent collection of those serving during the American Revolutionary period in areas that are now part of the United States has been compiled by Granville Hough.<ref>Granville Hough and H.C. Hough, Patriots Series, 8 vols. (San Antonio, Tex.: Borderlands Press, 1998-2001). For current understanding of their importance, see http://www.somosprimos.com/hough/hough.htm and the Sons of the American Revolution site http://www.rsar.org/history/spain.htm.</ref>
Censuses (Padrones) and Review Lists (Listas de Revistas)
Frequently, especially in outlying areas, censuses were taken of military personnel and their families, both officers and enlisted men, serving at particular posts. In addition, it was common to review all the members of a unit in frontier areas, such as in the southwestern United States, where censuses of the presidios (frontier posts) frequently included all of the citizens under the responsibility and protection of the unit, as well as the soldiers. Such censuses are found not only in military archives but also in national archives housing government records of the colonial period.
Locating the records of ancestors who served in the military may require some diligence but is well worth the effort. The major difficulty in searching for a military record is that the records tend to have been preserved in archives that correspond to the type of military service. The records of those who served in colonial areas in the Spanish regular army or who served as officers in the provincial or militia units are likely to be found in the archives of Spain. For enlisted personnel in colonial regiments and for national armies after independence, as well as for all military units in some cases, the records will be found in national archives other than those of Spain. In addition, those for militia units may be found in provincial or state municipal archives.
Military census records, reports, promotion lists, and other administrative records were frequently prepared in duplicate or triplicate during the colonial period. One copy was kept locally, a second was sent to the regional capitania general, and the last one was sent to colonial administrators in Spain. Although this pattern may make it somewhat difficult to determine with certainty the archives in which the records may be filed, it has nevertheless proved helpful in areas where local archives have been destroyed. Some Latin American military records that were primarily local in nature can be found in Spanish national archives. Excellent examples are the military records of the Spanish American Southwest, which are preserved in the Archivo General de las Indias in Seville.

5-6-2011 Safeco Field
The Mariners were hosting the Chicago Whitesox tonight plus it was Ichiro Suzuki hit counter bobblehead night. So I figured Safeco would be packed. But batting practice wasn't too bad. The lines weren't as bad as I thought but I did have to show up an extra hour early to secure my spot in line. I didn't attempt to enter the stadium at the centerfield gates this time because all of the gates were opening at 4:40pm. So I entered the stadium at the rightfield gates. As soon as I ran in I was quickly on the board with two easer eggs that I found in the rows. And as I was exiting the section there was a sharply hit foul ball that landed a few rows to my left. There was another fan chasing it down by trying to jump over the rows to get to it. But I let gravity work on my side and let the ball come to me. I gave it to the guy just for his hard effort at trying to chase it down. I thought he was going to seriously injure himself.
After the Mariners exited the field I ran over to the Chicago Whitesox dugout area. Omar Vizquel was playing catch with his son and just about everyone and their mother was trying to get his autograph. Vizquel isn't known for being the friendliest guy either. So the fans that got his autograph should consider themselves very lucky.
Here is a picture of Omar and his kid.
After chasing Omar Vizquel's autograph for about ten minutes I decided to go play foul territory for some baseballs. Here was my view.
And then after standing in that area for about 30 minutes I decided to go back down to the Whitesox dugout in hopes that the pitching coach might hook me up with a baseball after batting practice ended.
See how packed the rightfield bleachers were? Its tough to get a home run ball when its that tight.
About the only really cool thing that happened at tonight's game (besides getting an Ichiro bobblehead) was that Rob Dyrdek showed up to throw out the first pitch. He came over to sign some autographs and I snapped a few pictures of him.
He was really cool about hooking people up with autographs before the game. I was in line for a few minutes to see if I could get his autograph on my ticket stub but so many older teenagers just shoved their way to the front of the line. One of the security guards tried to get things organized as best as he could but it was pretty much a loss cause. I even had adults shoving their way past me to get his autograph. But Rob was cool about it. He signed as many as he could until he had to go.
I made my way back to the Chicago side of the stadium and waited on the warmup ball from the Whitesox. I was quickly ran out by security but it really didnt matter. The Whitesox never came out to warmup in front of the dugout anyway. After that I made my way out to the outfield to sit and watch the game. It was another exciting Mariner win. They won with a Brendan Ryan single in walk-off fashion. The stadium exploded with cheers as the Mariners ran out onto the field to smother Ryan with rabbit punches, and a standing dogpile.

I got to do some fabulously absurd knitting for a show this August:
In the Boston area on August 5? Come check out my friend Brian's Guus and what a lot of other artists have done with them! You can see details of my contribution here.
Oh, and I'm in the new Knitscene, too, and my project has the honor of being the only one modeled by a guy (yay!), as well as that of being one of the only garments that is not being tugged, pulled, or otherwise fiddled with by the model. Everyone! Get your hands off your garments! Are all these poses hiding poor construction or poor fitting, or are they just bad poses? Who knows? Just cut it out!
Back to the hat. This is an awesome hat, cozy and fitted, nice and tight around the ears. It's all in the round, can be made in any worsted-weight yarns, and the ribbing pattern is so intuitive you'll hardly have to look at the pattern! I love it! I almost forgot I made it, but here it is!

Facebook Zero: Considering Life After the Demise of Organic Reach by Social@Ogilvy
When I first saw the above article on Twitter I favorited it; not because it was my favorite piece of news but because I wanted to keep my eye on it. It's been in the back of my mind rattling around since and I was thankful for the reminder, and thoughts it provoked, when I saw a friend and colleague (the ever-awesome Shannon Kelly of UPenn) start it as a conversation in a LinkedIn group of which I am a member.
The news about the "end of organic reach," made me feel a little better about myself. Until it was spoken aloud I was left wondering if it was just me. As our post reach numbers hit all-time lows I thought, "Was it something I said?" And while it's always nice to know it's not only you, the outcome is still not ideal. We all noticed the changes and probably, in some small way, knew (or feared) what it meant, what was coming.
As the article points out:
In 2012, Facebook famously restricted organic reach of content published from brand pages to about 16 percent. In December 2013, another round of changes reduced it even more.
But destination zero? The conversation on LinkedIn mentions the concern for smaller businesses and non-profits which touches on one of my major issues: Facebook treats all pages as the same. And by the same, I mean as big brands: GM, Coke, Nike – brands with BIG budgets and BIG agencies behind them. Regardless of what side of the table you are coming from, big business or career services, I think we should be upset about the fact that what "destination zero" essentially does is blocks your content to existing fans unless you pay. "Your Facebook Page's Organic Reach Is About to Plummet," article from Social Media Today raise a very poignant question: couldn't Facebook somehow allow existing fans to be reached via organic means, and worked out a way that businesses pay to reach new fans? We all worked hard to get these fans. At my career center we paid for ads on Facebook to attract fans to our page. Now we are essential being forced to pay to communicate with existing fans, and any new ones, ad infinitum.
I keep asking myself, should we just leave Facebook? Or should we pony-up and pay for reach? When we created our Facebook page it was not driven by organic reach or ROI. It was about having a presence in a space where our students were (and still are) active. That is the same reason we hang up posters outside of the cafeteria. Facebook allowed our office a space for quick updates on an easy to navigate platform that students check frequently.
I found it so easy to jump in to using Facebook but I'm hesitant to jump out and I'm not sure why. If you asked me yesterday, in a fit of frustration, I would have said I wanted to give up and delete our page once and for all. Is anyone considering this? I know what's pushing me out but I'm not sure I know what's keeping me. What's keeping you (and your career center) there?

-Someone who is half black, half Mexican, and half Jew.
On my way to the park, I saw some blewxicans playing basketball. There were two pick up games going on, you can clearly tell that the blewxicans could not jump as high as their African American counter parts. Watching one jumping for a dunk, was like watching a fish walking on land, it was an akward sight. After the border patrol passed by, they all started jumping fences and they got so tired they they had to rest by their lawn mowers. Once they woke up, it was time for them to go to the synagogue. Their favorite meal consists of kosher fried chicken

Ryan urges Clarence IDA to say no to tax breaks for Towne Mini
Assemblyman Sean M. Ryan is urging the Clarence Industrial Development Agency to put the brakes on considering tax breaks for Towne Automotive's planned new Mini car dealership.
The Buffalo Democrat, who has called for IDAs to be more selective in awarding incentives, weighed in after the Clarence IDA last week was asked by Towne Automotive to reconsider its request for tax breaks.
The Clarence IDA in October informally decided not to review Towne's request, believing the $1.9 million project on Main Street was going forward anyway. But last week, a Towne official told the Clarence IDA board there was no guarantee the project would happen without incentives.
Ryan, in a letter to Clarence IDA Chairman David C. Hartzell Jr,, urged the Clarence IDA to stick with its original position: "I am making a simple request to the CIDA: don't give in to more corporate welfare."
Hartzell said in response to Ryan's comments on Tuesday: "While Towne has requested a second look at their proposal, no decision has been made."
Towne Mini shares space with a Towne BMW dealership on Main just east of Transit. The new standalone location would be built on vacant land across the street. The dealer group has received development plan approval for the project from the town. Towne has the only Mini franchise in Western New York; the next closest location in the state is in Rochester.
Ryan in his letter noted there are a number of other car dealerships around the Main-Transit area. "Not only is it inherently unfair to subsidize one car dealership over the others, it does not meet the definition of the type of businesses industrial development agencies should be supporting," he wrote.
David M. Downing, vice president of Towne Automotive, told the Clarence IDA last week that building a new dealership would allow Towne to double its allocation of Minis to 600 per year. He estimated selling an additional 300 Minis would generate $650,000 in sales tax revenue, and he said the new dealership would create 11 new jobs, nine at the Mini location and two at the BMW dealership.
Ryan, in his letter to Hartzell, acknowledged the project would generate more sales tax revenue. "However, this project will move forward even without taxpayer funded subsidies," he said. "If Towne Mini wants to expand, good for them, that is what capitalism is all about. If they see an opportunity to improve their business, then they should put the risk and investment into making it happen. The taxpayers of Erie County shouldn't be expected to subsidize their venture."
Ryan has called for reforming the IDA system in Erie County, arguing that property and sales tax breaks reduce the amount of new revenues generated for municipalities and school districts across the county, not just in the community where the project occurs.

I enjoyed columnist Robert Ehrlich Jr.'s article on political affiliation and took his test ("Unsure of your affiliation? Take this test," Dec. 22).
Even though the Democrat side had more than the Republican side, "none of the above" was most apt, and this is exactly what is wrong with our current government.
Politicians want you to believe that everything is black and white and that you have to choose one or the other. I am a Democrat only because independents do not get to vote in Maryland primaries.
I have voted for the former governor every time he has run because he somehow convinced me he was more in the middle than his test choices.
I loved Ronald Reagan from his "Bedtime for Bonzo" and "Death Valley Days" movie career and voted for him the first time around. Once he became president, though, I found him remote and disconnected.
I always felt Mr. Reagan was a puppet figurehead that the Republicans used to conquer the White House and that conservatives were constantly whispering his lines into his ears. I failed to see the great Republican icon that they loved to make him.
I never bought into "trickle down" economics even though I understand the concept. Basically, it says the rich get richer now, and the poor get richer never.

A popular upcoming event has bounced around for some 20 years in different venues.
A popular upcoming event has bounced around for some 20 years in different venues. I attended the very first one, in a tiny meeting room in the fort's Combined Arms Research Library, then to the Hunt Lodge, then downtown to the old American Legion building that is now Marlow White Uniform Company.
For many years it was at the fort's Frontier Conference Center (FCC), and when it closed for a couple of years the show moved to the Riverfront Community Center (RCC). The FCC reopened last year, but patrons lobbied for the event to continue at the RCC due to the perceived hassle of a civilian vehicle getting on the fort.
So that's where it will be next Saturday, Feb. 9, the who-knows-how-many-years almost annual Leavenworth Military Show.
Several people have run it, with the current organizer, Dr. Jerry Brown, long-time CGSC history instructor, being the most tenured. He's got it down to an almost fine science, causing Jim McDuff, president of the American Society of Military Insignia Collectors to call it "One of the best organized and run small shows anywhere."
McDuff should know, for before he became the group's president he ran its annual show around the country and has visited many shows in many areas. He calls the Leavenworth one a small show as it has between 80 and 100 tables, compared to the Kansas City show that has had up to 400 tables.
But 80 tables crammed with priceless old military artifacts, or old military junk as one's preference may be, is quite a lot to look at. Although there have been a few display-only tables, probably 98 percent of items on tables are for sale, if the seller and buyer can agree on a price.
It brings sellers and buyers from several neighboring states, and Brown says some first-time sellers are coming this year. Last year I reunited with a former Army buddy from Germany who sold items from his rural farmhouse over there. He now lives near Chicago, but has not requested tables for next weekend. I'll miss seeing the old boy this year.
Brown never knows in advance what sellers will pile on their tables, but artifacts will go back a couple of hundred years and be from many countries around the world. There will be military books, uniforms, edged weapons, guns, but only those legal to sell, and always a few surprises awaiting eager buyers.
And it is a family affair for the Browns. While Jerry runs around answering questions and putting out fires (figuratively speaking), wife Shirley greets customers at the entrance and accepts their $3 donation to get in. That is except for those who identify themselves as WW II or Korean War veterans, who enter without making a donation.
Several WW II vets wear their uniform, and are always willing to pose for pictures if asked, although most folks don't go to a show with a camera.
The show will be in the RCC gymnasium from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Those there for lunch can enjoy a "New Zealand hotdog" prepared by Trevor Brown, the Browns' son. I have to wait all year for the treat, so of course I will have two. Note to wife: light supper next Saturday.
Sometimes re-enactors are there and it is kind of neat to see men wearing WW II German SS uniforms looking at WW II German helmets or other accoutrements. A deputy commandant of two from CGSC and many active duty and retired officers have been spotted in the crowd each year.
So if you enjoy being around veterans, like looking at, touching, and perhaps buying pieces of our military heritage, there is but one place for you to be next Saturday. See you there.
John Reichley is a retired Army officer and retired Department of the Army civilian employee.

While Samsung's just released the much-hyped Note 3, it's already working on its next It-phone. What's so special about it? A curved display which will arrive anytime between next month and Q4.
Samsung showed off a 5.5-inch prototype device named 'Youm' at CES in January. Park Sang-jin, CEO of Samsung SDI, says the upcoming device will use a similar OLED panel and will supposedly not be 'that flexible'. Does that mean it will be made of shiny alumnium or must we expect more plastic? We'll keep you updated.

ALM so the Muslim Brotherhood has accused bass and use it of not only insulting the president which has been a crime since the days of Mubarak of but also to the main religion now precisely what they're arguing he does the same religion is not clear which remember that under the new constitution that the Brotherhood pushed through in December detaining the religion is unconstitutional not just illegal is that for many years but Ong Ka social so we're seeing is the consequences of Muslim Brotherhood role for free speech in Egypt well this is Jon Stewart pointed out it's actually find the defamed using the tactic just ... doesn't work the other way around when you're criticizing the Muslim Brotherhood ... out what the US embassy Sweden out ... of part of that video clip ... to show you a little piece of that exchange base they said something and that the government responded and said ... it's inappropriate for diplomatic mission irrigation system negative political ... propaganda ...

Terra Cotta #4 Wisteria

These numbers are based on my twig letters. I have been asked many a time over the years wether I made twig numbers and I made many exploratory attempts to be able to fulfill this request. I could not do so with organic material as the elements show no mercy to them when subjected to the elements. I finally came around to using a completely different material to register the lovely detail of natural materials collected in the great outdoors. I pressed the collected material into slabs of clay and then dried them and put them in the kiln. From these, called sprig moulds, I took a positive pulling with clay and then cut them out and applied them to a wet clay rectangle and composed my series of numbers which I then made subsequent plaster moulds with. I pulled many lovely tiles and experimented with etching the surface behind the number and then settling on using an underglaze on the background and then a clear glaze over top. Once I had a good grasp on the final product, the plaster casts were already showing signs of wear so…… I remade a new series of 20 numbers, two of each, and then made silicone moulds of each and then plaster ones once again!! I am a big fan of the terra cotta colour but have found that many people prefer a white clay body so I have made enough moulds to make both kinds!!!! Now I need you to bring them into your homes and workplaces, to let me know that I haven't done all this work in vain!!! I hope you love them, I do!!
The tiles are 100% weather proof as they have been fired first to bisque them, then with an underglaze and then lastly with a weather protective clear glaze.
