"This companion makes it easy to survey subjects quickly for the latest and best historiography, and provides lots of avenues by which to travel for further knowledge." (Journal of World History, September 2009)
"[This volume] lives us to [the] high expectations of the series of Blackwell Companions. Informed, wide-ranging and up-to-date syntheses cover what might be regarded as standard subjects like the Second World War ... and the transformation of the British economy. More importantly, there are chapters on topics ignored by most histories of Britain; for example ... the suburbanization of Britain, sport and youth culture." (History)
"A definitive textbook for contemporary British history. Its breadth of subjects is compelling, and the quality of its contributions ... superb, with many subjects dealt with by authors able to pour a career's worth of groundbreaking research into their introductory surveys. Praise must be given for a consistently informative volume, which places so many interpretations and discussions in one place. Overall, Addison and Jones can congratulate themselves for editing a superb collection, one that can reasonably lay claim to being the foremost textbook on contemporary British history." (Reviews in History)

One of two winning tickets for Tuesday's drawing was sold at a San Jose gift shop. The other was sold in Georgia and the winner already has been identified.
California Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso said the second winner has a year to claim the money.
"It's fairly common in cases like this that they've hired financial representation and an attorney so they come forward with a plan of action," Traverso said.
The jackpot comes to a total of $324 million per winner. If the person takes a lump sum, it's about $120 million after taxes.
"That's not a check you can just walk to the local credit union and plug into the ATM," Traverso said.
Of course, it's also common for people to have misplaced the ticket or simply have forgotten about it. If months go by with no claimant, Traverso said officials will identify the time the ticket was purchased and use surveillance cameras to try and get an image that can be released publicly.
Lottery officials say they have a pretty good record of tracking people down.
In one case in Bakersfield, a winner had forgotten about a ticket that was worth $23 million dollars. Traverso said the person saw their picture in the local paper, and remembered they'd left the winning ticket in the door pocket of their car.
The ticket had been set to expire in three weeks.
"That person came right in and claimed their $23 million," Traverso said.

Hello JazzSus.
Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.
Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.
How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.
Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.
If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

Rescue teams helped hundreds of pilgrims escape waterlogged hotels on Saturday after heavy rains led the Gave River to overrun its banks—and even wash up into the town's famed grotto, where many Catholics believe the Virgin Mary appeared to a 14-year-old girl named Bernadette Soubirous in 1858.
The regional government issued a statement late Saturday saying 427 people had been evacuated from their hotels. The Red Cross and regional authorities provided food and shelter to the escapees, as authorities warned of forecasts for more rain in the region.
In one televised image, a rescuer waded waist-deep into a hotel lobby with a red boat in tow and teams helped elderly visitors inside for a trip to higher ground. Others showed a fast-flowing, white-water river rumbling through the town, and the grotto—or cave—was filled with about 1.5 meters of water, under a niche statute of the Virgin Mary.
Visits to the grotto were temporarily suspended. Officials say the town draws about 6 million visitors a year—mainly looking to see the grotto. The shrine has special meaning for the suffering, many of whom believe its spring water can heal and even work miracles.
Thierry Castillo, director of the nearby Lourdes sanctuary, said visitors had shown "understanding" and predicted that the grotto would remain closed at least through Monday.

The exact answer is:

Seems pretty good. Try for larger n with x small in comparison to convince yourself numerically.
I think the limit is 1.
According to M that is true. Why do you think the limit is not 1?
Stirlings is an asymptotic form for the factorial. The limit of the ratio of Stirlings and the factorial is 1. The fact that he use Stirlings in his proof guarantees the above limit.
Hi bobbym
Ok, I will try to think about it a bit. Thanks a lot.
Hi Shivamcoder3013;
I am not getting how you get that...
Using Stirlings:
Notice the approximately equal sign that is because you are approximated a discrete distribution ( binomial ) with the Normal distribution.
1) is an approximation for 2) which the above steps prove. Even for large N it is still an approximation. When N approaches infinity 1) = 2).
To prove that you might need the limit but maybe since Stirlings formula is asymptotic to the factorial it might be implied in step 3.
Hi Shivamcoder3013
Can you prove it then?
Post 7 is what I need proven/
That is what the original problem is asking for. But I cannot get it. I am using the limit definition and Stirling's formula.
that I can prove.
How do you do that?
It does seem to work without the minus sign, though.
I do not think so either.
I don't think that would be correct, then.

The name Annapurna, which means to be filled completely with food in Sanskrit, hints at a sprawling buffet and busy kitchen. Jumbo shrimp and boneless chicken marinated in a spicy yogurt cook inside a traditional Indian clay oven, and bite-sized bits of lamb simmer in a curry infused with Andhra spices and herbs. Chefs simmer milk, crafting it into thick paneer cheese, which pairs with a spiced gravy to fill out the range of vegetarian items. The scents of cardamom, cumin, chili, and pickled mangos fill the air. At the lunch buffet, heated pans hold mounds of rice, creamy sauces, and frozen popsicles that won't give up information.
Gourmet India's cuisine sates bellies with fresh meats, ripe vegetables, and astounding sauces spiced flawlessly. The restaurant's friendly staff makes all diners feel at home and excited for the palpable stomach pampering ahead. The relaxed, intimate dining room shares the duty with outdoor seating that illuminates the kitchen's bright creations with all-natural sunlight.
Star of India hampers hunger with an authentic menu stocked with the rich flavors and exotic spices of the Subcontinent. Start the foodie festivities with an appetizer of onion bhaji, which features tearfully tempting slices of onion fried in chickpea batter ($8), or begin by shepherding your taste buds toward a pair of lamb samosas ($6) or a bevy of bread breeds that includes seven different types of naan. Tandoori chicken ($13) and tandoori shrimp ($22) are both marinated in yogurt, herbs, and spices before being cooked in a tandoor—a specialized clay oven kept at 800 degrees to match the temperature of the human mouth. Herbivores can veg out on channa masala, a mouth-watering mélange of garbanzo beans, tomatoes, and onions ($13), and fishivores can aim their scrimshaw dentures at fish vindaloo, which combines mahi-mahi with potatoes in a tongue-tazing sauce ($19). Each location possesses the flavor-customization technology to adjust its crave-worthy curries to individual specifications, ensuring that the menus are suited for everyone from unfazable fire eaters to mild-tongued spice sissies.
Copper Chimney, a food truck turned restaurant, detonates salivary glands with authentic South Indian-Hyderabadi fast food. Traditional snacks, such as samosas ($2.99 for two) and idli—rice cakes served with chutney ($3.49)—prepare appetites for more sizeable savories, including crispy crepe blankets known as dosas ($3.99–$7.99), served in masala, egg, and onion-masala flavors. Vegetarian entrees, such as ginger vegetables ($5.99), prevent non-meat-eaters from grazing in nearby parks, and diners seeking meatier options find protein-packed comfort in the chicken Hyderabadi biryani, served with gravy and the spicy-cooling combo of chili and raita ($6.99). Customers who prefer to dabble in a variety of dishes can explore Copper Chimney's buffet ($6.49), which is stocked with more exotic spices than Christopher Columbus's fanny pack.
Bismillah Kabob-N-Curry's culinary mavens furnish mouths with the diverse flavorscape of Southeast Asia and its authentic Pakistani dishes prepared with 100% zabiha halal meat and free-range fowl. An order of fluffy falafel warms up masticating muscles ($5.99 for four) before they tongue tackle tandoor-baked kabobs such as the mixed tandoori platter's skewered amalgamation of tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, beef tikka kebab, and seekh kebab ($13.99), or marinated lamb tandoori chops slathered in barbecue just like the sock puppet of a meat juggler ($15.99). Those in the mood for liquiform fare can pillage the catalog of curries, including a vegetable jalfrezi that flaunts a flavorsome blend of mixed veggies and Indian spices ($8.99). The fish hara massala, a house specialty of pan-fried pampano anointed in herbs and spices, lends eaters a taste of Southeast Asia's coastal region without having to suck on a salty sea horse ($14.99). Bismillah Kabob-N-Curry also offers a separate lunch-friendly menu of beef and chicken burgers, kebab wraps, and quesadillas, as well as a Chinese cuisine menu.

Gourmet food gift baskets are growing in popularity. Popular television cooking shows have brought gourmet items to the forefront of people's minds and have opened their eyes to a whole new world of taste sensations.
Generally, the more cosmopolitan the individual, the more refined their tastes and the more trendy the foods they enjoy. If you are wanting to give a gift to someone who fits into this category, gourmet gift baskets are a fine way to go. You can offer them gourmet food items they may not have had the chance to enjoy yet or can give them some of their favorite things. For someone in this genre, you could include in your basket pate', a small can of caviar, a unique bottle of wine, some cave aged cheese, truffle oil, smoked salmon or fine chocolates.
If your gift basket will be given to someone who does not have such a highly developed palate for gourmet foods but is willing to learn, you can build a basket for them based on things they already like and including one or two new items. Good quality cheeses are great to include. Varieties such as gruyere, havarti, herbed sheep's milk cheeses and aged or smoked cheddars are excellent choices. Include a couple of mini bottles of wine in different styles, a higher end olive oil and maybe a couple of bottles of an unusual imported beer and you are set for a wonderful basket.
Beginners to gourmet flavors and textures can be overwhelmed by too many new things at one time. A great introduction to gourmet items would be to choose four or five good quality items which are not too exotic. Start with a smoked cheese like cheddar or mozzarella. These are basic flavors with which most people are familiar but have an interesting layer of additional flavor. Couple the cheese with a nice high end cracker. You can buy a bottle of wine which will pair nicely with the cheese and a wine guide to explain the art of pairing foods with wines so they will have a foundation to build upon. Gourmet food gift baskets can engulf gourmet beginners and it is best to tread lightly to avoid turning someone off to new taste experiences.
Catch the gourmet foods craze! You can give awesome gourmet food gift baskets within a reasonable budget. If you are choosy when you build your gourmet food gift baskets you will be a very popular person.

Hi, i have a modded AppleTV and for me it would be perfect to connect USB Loudspeakers directly to my AppleTV. Maybe it sounds stuppid, but for me it would be really helpfull to do so. In general my USB Loudspeakers are recognized by 10.4 - 10.6 without any problems. Also on my AppleTV the Loudspeakers seems to recognized quite properly. Saying that because the lights on the speakers are working. Normally, without a proper setup the lights are off, it's not indicating USB power only ...
So my questions,
*Do somebody allready succussfully connect USB speakers to his AppleTV?
*How can i check that the OS has recognized the speakers propery (something like modeprobe)?
*How can i configure Frontrow, NitoTV, XBMC, Boxee properly to use the USB speakers?
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers Peter

Shula's winning tradition on the field continues at this classy steakhouse chain. – In Short
The chop house's elegance is indisputable, yet there is an oddly casual spirit to a place in which the menu is written on a football and set at your table on a kicking tee. Certified Angus Beef doesn't come cheap, and the sides are priced a la carte, but the nationally renowned steakhouse always finds a way to make the cut for those willing to pay for quality.

Program simply prevents fan from running until the predefined temperature limit has been exceeded. After this fan runs until the 'low limit' has been reached. It is a very simple program indeed and shouldn't require any extra explonations. Below is a concole output of the Fansilencer.

16 Million Colours. None of them blue.
I picked up a set of these just after launch. I like them, but they're very much a 'beta' product. You might want to wait.
The bi I picked up a set of these just after launch. I like them, but they're very much a 'beta' product. You might want to wait.
The biggest issue I've found is a complete inability to render blue. Even shades shown in their own promotional material (and on the box!) are impossible to render, due to the choice of LEDs. I think that poor, especially at the price.
On the plus side, they're easy to install and set up, and it's pretty cool to control lighting from an iPhone/iPad etc.
On the negative side, aside from the colour rendition, the app is pretty clunky. Many features seem to be missing - proper control of rooms, grouping lights, easy set up of pre-set scenes. All obvious features. You can't even remove lamps, and as it auto-adds new lamps I have no clue what would happen if a neighbour also had the same system.
On top of which, the bulbs are only available in what is one of the rarest fitting types in the UK with no word on anything else (so only a handful, if any, of your existing lamps can be fitted out).
It's a good (if expensive) start, but they have a long way to go. …

Better than most LED lamps, even for 'normal' light.
These are miles ahead of most LED lamps on the market - even when just being used to provide 'white' light in any colour temperatu These are miles ahead of most LED lamps on the market - even when just being used to provide 'white' light in any colour temperature from 2000K to 6500K.
The sources within a Hue are not primary Red, Green and Blue as are used in other LED lighting products; The Red is a touch more 'orange', the Green is closer to a 'lime-green' and the Blue is closer to Violet. This enabled much better whites (see above) and subtle hues but it cannot achieve some colours although this is not a problem in it's intended application.
The app itself isn't perfect - but it's a first version and will no doubt improve and for those who want a bit more control there's a simple HTTP API behind them.
At the moment they are only available in an "E27" or "ES" base, aka 'screw fit', most UK light fittings are Bayonet ("BC" or "B22") so keep this in mind if you're planning on putting these in existing fittings although adapters are available they wont fit in all lamps. …

Great LED lights with novelty features...
I've had remote controlled lights for a while now but I had been looking for an LED alternative. When I saw the Philips Hue lighti I've had remote controlled lights for a while now but I had been looking for an LED alternative. When I saw the Philips Hue lighting system I just had to get them. But I could not find information anywhere on the type of bulb or their sizes to make sure I could buy the correct sized light fitting.
I blindly bought some downlight bulb holders (type E27 after a bit more research) from B&Q but I bought a large size as I still did not know the dimensions (which I now know to be 110mm long and 62mm diameter at the widest part).
The bulbs and the iOS app work great for a light set-up. Colours are bright and the normal white light goes well for any room. I do admit the app needs a few tweaks but it still allows you to use the complete lighting set-up so I can't see why anyone could complain.
Bulbs are numbered on the app and can be controlled individually so control of separate rooms should be managed easily with custom scenes.
It definitely beats flicking an old fashioned light switch on and off! I'm looking forward to any future third party apps but I wouldn't like Hue any less if it stayed the way it was. Great! …

A good idea, but really lacks whats promised
I've had this kit for a couple of weeks now, and even though im loving the ease of changing colours and to damp the lights, there I've had this kit for a couple of weeks now, and even though im loving the ease of changing colours and to damp the lights, there is a few things that really dull..
Firstoff the colours. This is no living colors, it only does like 4-5 colours really well. Green is like none existing and the hue saturation does little compared to the colour scale.
Second, the software... Its not bad, but its not particularely good either. I think that most people know that there is alot of possibilities with these lights, unfortunatly philips doesnt really take the effort to utilize this properly.
Last is a quiet hum comming from these bulps, and turning them of through the software actually only makes its worse.. The hum is not as bad as experienced from my living colors lamp so i can live with it..
The price should match a somehow better product, hopefully we will se a hue .2 doing these things better in the future …

In a recent journal article, researchers noted that early exposure to and high frequency of severe hypoglycemia "negatively affects long-term spatial performance" in children with type 1.
Washington University School of Medicine researchers in St. Louis, Missouri, combined data from three independent studies to obtain a sample of 103 children aged 6-18 years with type 1 along with 60 nondiabetic control subjects.
"We found that repeated severe hypoglycemia (more than three episodes) reduced long-term spatial delayed response performance, particularly when severe hypoglycemic episodes began before the age of 5 years," write the researchers. "Age of type 1 diabetes onset and estimates of chronic hyperglycemia did not influence performance."
—Diabetes Care, October 2005
What is Spatial Memory?
Spatial memory is the memory function that records information about one's environment and its spatial orientation. For example, spatial memory is required in order for a person to navigate a familiar city, just as a rat's spatial memory is needed to learn the location of food at the end of a maze.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/spatial_memory
Tamara Hershey, PhD, and Neil White, MD, were researchers on the memory study.
What are some serious repercussions of decreased spatial memory function?
Spatial memory is used in daily life in numerous ways. For instance, children may use spatial memory when they recall where they put their lunchbox when they got home, or when they learn the location of their cubby in a new classroom. However, our study does not address whether these kinds of everyday memory tasks were affected by severe hypoglycemia. Whether performance on our laboratory memory task predicts memory function in the context of everyday life remains an important area for further research.
What can parents of type 1 kids do to help alleviate severe hypos?
The first step to avoidance of severe hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes is to set appropriate goals, including blood glucose targets that minimize the risk of even mild hypoglycemia. This is especially true at an age when hypoglycemia recognition is not yet fully developed ("age-associated hypoglycemia unawareness"). Many think that this age is less than 6-7 years old, but it must be very individualized.
Second, overinsulinization is inadvisable and of no demonstrated benefit. Regardless of the chosen insulin regimen, the doses should be at the lowest level, which is required to accomplish the blood glucose target. Higher dose that result in the need for repeated treatment of hypoglycemia should be avoided.
Third, although some regimens—such as using an insulin pump or taking Lantus as compared to suppertime or nighttime NPH—have been shown to reduce hypoglycemia—especially nighttime hypoglycemia—it needs to be recognized that there is no one regimen that can be recommended for all subjects. Attention to individual variation in responses to treatment is a key element of success.

Pros – There is lots of room for advancement. They have leadership work shops and management training programs. If you want to move up all you have to do is ask.
Cons – Work load is not evenly distributed. Often time the ones doing all of the work get blamed for the ones not doing their share of the work.
Advice to Senior Management – Pay close attention to who is doing their job and who isn't. This will help address the work load issues.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

The Inn recently removed seven parking places and expanded the gardens to the front of the Inn to better connect the Paso Robles Inn with the look of the park across the street and allude to the beautiful gardens that have always been popular with guests, but have been hidden behind the lobby building. The wandering brick path and seating area are designed to be the perfect place to relax and enjoy a specialty coffee. Yes, also planned for this spring is a new specialty coffee menu from the redesigned Coffee Shop. The nostalgic coffee shop is getting a face lift, but will retain its classic charm.

The Paso Robles Inn Steakhouse is proud to announce the addition of Executive Chef Paul Arangorin to the culinary team.
Chef Arangorin brings seven years of culinary experience to his new position and is a graduate of the California Culinary Academy Le Cordon Bleu. In 2012, Arangorin had the opportunity to compete in Sunset's Savor the Central Coast Battle of the Bay competition – and he won! Watch this video to see how Chef Paul prepared for the competition.
"Chef Arangorin's passion for food and innovative style will bring a new dimension to the Paso Robles Inn Steakhouse," noted Margaret Johnson, COO of Martin Resorts.
A San Luis Obispo County local, Arangorin developed a passion for cooking at a very young age and attributes his love affair with food to his parents- avid entertainers who enlisted Paul's help to cook food for family parties and events. Chef Arangorin then expanded his culinary experiences internationally, cooking abroad in Asia. "My experience abroad taught me appreciation for every ingredient in a dish and taught me the importance and benefits from locally sourced food," says Arangorin.
In his new role, Arangorin will oversee all culinary functions at the Inn. He plans to showcase the flavors of each season and feature the bounty of the Paso Robles area in his unique dishes. Visit the Paso Robles Inn Steakhouse and help welcome Chef Paul to the team!

Extract from the book: Zabtyki Historyczne Zydow w Polsce
The Shebreshiner shul is included among the famous shulslike the Vilna shul, and the Kracow, Lemberg, Lublin, and Poznan shuls.
Almost all the shuls in Eastern Poland are built in the form of a quadrangle. The first thing you notice on entering such a shul is that the prayer hall is below street level. You descend the stairs to go in. The educated explain it in a religious way based on the passage from T'hilim, Mi'ma'amkim karaticha Adonai[1].
The reality was different. In order to comply with the requirement of depth (Mi'ma'amkim), the chazzan's spot was lowered a little. But the general lowering of the building was due to an old church ruling, The unbelieving Jews are not to build synagogues of great splendor, or richness, but of moderation and moderate size. In order to get permission to build a shul, in spite of the bishops and the government, the area had to be reduced.
To the right of the chazzan, in most shuls, on both sides of the oren kodesh, stood a stone table in the form of a mizbe'ach[2]. The Yizkor candles burned there on Yom Kippur. A nine-armed candelabra, in the form of the seven candled menorah seen on Titus' gate in Rome, sat on the table. Similar menorahs, small and large, were found in many shuls. Examples of the larger ones are found in Pogrebiszcz, S., and Zamosc. Some have smooth arms, some have arms covered with brass buttons, flowers, etc.
The name of the donor can sometimes be seen on the foot of the candelabra.
The ceiling in the Shebreshiner and the Zamosc shul is built over the center. The prayer hall is a regular and moderately sized quadrangle.

Translated by Moses Milstein
You could say that our shtetele was poor. But it is we who are poor today. From that little shtetl of yesteryear shone greatness and spiritual richness. It is of little use to compare the small satisfactions of life in little Shebreshin to the wealthier life in the outside world. Those of us who still dream can be forgiven if we still dream of the past in S., and not of something else.
We had a colorful and meaningful life. All sorts of images of the past come quickly to mind, but to transcribe them to paper is harder.
Shabes. Every Shabes has an Erev Shabes
A hot, summer Friday, about 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon. I lived with my parents, sister and brother, HYD,[1] on Green Street (R' Mordechai Fleischer's street).
My Shabes clothes are prepared with great attention. Having finished work, I leave the house by the front, near Geshichter's pharmacy warehouse. Years before, it had belonged to Shnitser.)
On the stairs of the warehouse sit R' Zelig Getzl, and R' Shaul Moshe Pinye HYD. At the wall, in front of Mordechai Fleischer's house stand, like soldiers at a fortress, Zelig Getzl's sons. Now, they aren't looking for a farmer and a sack of wheat, they are just out for a breath of air after a week of hard work. During the week, they were oppressed by the stress of making a living: Friday night, the air was free.
On Friday night, the cement stairs in front of Estherishe Fleischer's , HYD, closed front door are also occupied.
The merchants on and around the street are still busily engaged in getting ready for Shabes. Some carry cholents, and following them come small girls carrying little pieces of wood to contribute to the oven. The mitzvah of keeping the ovens going for the neighborhood cholents belonged to Chaiele, Moishe Pinye's, and Menuche Chana the ba'al hagule's daughter-in-law, HYD. Merchants run to Shimon Goldman and Feigele Gedalia's, HYD, food stores to buy chicory with coffee they had forgotten to add to Thursday's shopping list.
There is still smoke coming out of the chimney of the wooden house belonging to Mordechai Fleischer and where his daughter Nechama Gernreich lives. In other homes, floors are still being washed. Other men carry the milchedik borscht and the food for sholes sudes down into the cellars where they each have a locker. At Laizer Shtifim's, half the floor is washed while, on the other half, the father and sons still sit at their sewing machines, hurriedly finishing a bit of work. It needs to be ready for early Sunday morning for a customer in Cukrownia.
Closer to Shabes, the children of R' Mordechai Fleischer come out of the house, a Sabbath glow spread over their faces. Dressed already in their Shabes clothes, they sit around the stairs. From time to time, you can see the grandchildren come running from their zayde's house and straight to Shimon Oldman's store to buy treats.
From afar comes the sound of R' Moishe Shemesh's hammer calling out the time for candle lighting. Then follow the sounds of doors closing and keys jingling as Jews close their stores for Shabes. The streets thin out. Soon the windows begin to display the red flames of the Shabes candles. Shabes!
With the coming of Shabes, the appearance of the street changes. The stores are shut behind iron bars. Locks, serious and determined, hang on the bars as if to say, We are having Shabes! The sidewalk is cleared of the weekly dust and dirt, the gutters whitewashed. The stones of the sidewalk arrogantly say to the bricks, The wheels of the farmer's heavy wagons will no longer batter our backs. And the bricks answer, And, over us, will walk Shabesdike Yidden.
And indeed, the wheels fall silent, and young, Jewish girls, full of charm, come out to go walking after a long hard Friday at work. Jews in satin and cloth kapotes with sidurim under their arms hurry to the synagogues for Kaballat Shabbat.
Prayers in R' Mordechai Fleischer's small beit hamidrash, in his courtyard, were attended by himself, his sons-in-law, his son Dan, HYD, all the neighbors, the carpenters from the courtyard next door, and others. The Gabai was Zelig Blachazh, HYD, fanatically religious, but an honest Jew. In the seat of honor sat Mordechai Fleischer. His sons-in-law occupied the Eastern wall. In the first row, sat R' Yermiyahu Rabinovitch (Later rabbi for Bialobrzeg, from Czepla Street in Warsaw). His presence truly graced the little bet hamidrash and the shtetl. The west wall was occupied by the ordinary citizens with Dantsche Fleisher at the head. He didn't, it seems, want to sit next to his brothers-in-law.
Even before Kabbales Shabes, the prayers take on a cheerful tone. Faces, shed of the gloom of the work week, the stresses of making a living, of hard toil, take on a Shabes appearance. Some are already looking for someone to play a joke on. They arrange for a real ba'al menagn[2] to lead the prayers. The initiative usually comes from the west wall group. In the middle of lechu neranena they mischievously lead him to the tones of the Days of Awe to the pleasure of the audience. But R' Yermiahu turns his face from the ark to the west, and with one look, they are serious again.
As the worshippers return home, the young people end their walks, and the street is deserted. From the open doors and windows, you can hear the sounds of dishes clattering, intermingled with the songs of Shabes
Saturday morning, and singing is heard. Familiar words, heimische melodies. The closer it gets, the clearer. They are in Hebrew. Curiosity takes you out of your house. In the distancecolumns of soldiers. As they near, you can make out a brown reflectionthe Betar youth, returning from their military muster.
There are already a few youngsters out walking on the trottoirone in new shoes, another in a new suit. A new suit, on the first Shabes, means the young man has to undergo a public exam. His friends circle him, appraise him from all angles, ask who the tailor was, and of course, give their opinions.
The barber shops are busy. Stubble-faced boys go in and come out with clean shaven faces.
The new sidewalk becomes steadily livelier. Some stand in groups hotly engaged in conversation. Others walk along companionably, softly singing a workers song. Coming from Gershon Cooper's house are the strains of a newly composed march, El Adon. That would be the Gerrer Chasidim davening Shachris. Their Shachris always began earlier so that they could take a break before Musaf to study Talmud.
Fathers and their children, talissim under their arms, are streaming, either towards the shul, or to the large beit hamidrash. And in that beit hamidrash, daven together Chasidim without a shtibl, Chasidim quarreling with their shtibl, Zionist business men, non-Zionist business men, and plain, simple people. The left half of the eastern wall was Zionist. Seated in that pew were Moishe Hersh Berger, Abraham Finkel, Yerachmiel Ginzberg, Benjamin Chmielash, Shia Wertman, and Moishe Mantile.
Prayers from the Zionist pew only begin to get going at the Kriat shema. After the first shmone esrei, the eastern half becomes livelier. Important issues are thrashed out, taken from the news in Heint, or Moment. With great relish, they repeat words of Yeushson, argue about an article by Itshak Greenboim, remark favorably on an essay by Hillel Zeitlin, or criticize a statement by Zev Jabotinsky. Neither banging on the table or hisses of sha… from the congregation can subdue their heated discussions. An excited participant can only be silenced when the Gabai honors him with an oleh torah. It isn't until katar that they realize the davening is coming to an end, and they take off their talissim. Slowly, some just ending their vikoach, people make their way home.
Walking back from the beit hamidrash, you run into girls and boys coming out from the beit hamidrash and getting in a walk while their fathers are still davening at the shtibls. They usually end later. Slowly the strolling groups leave, and the street empties. The air carries the sharp smell of cholent being carried by the mothers.
After the meal, we go out to the benches near the houses. We eat fruit and chat amicably with neighbors. A little later, the older people retire for a nap, and the young take the afternoon to leave the city. In town, it is blazingly hot. Hezkel's soda water factory is packed with people. There they slake their thirst caused by the salty, fatty cholent they have eaten, with bubbly, cold soda water.
Some people avoid the heat and play chess in the shade of the half-open candy stores of Yankel Yar, or Yosele Warman.. Many of the young go to the plazhe, others to the Bloiner orchards, and others to the valleys between the hills around the cemetery.
Young girls and boys, half dressed, take the sun lying on the lawns of the plazhe. They smear cream on their faces, put leaves on their noses to avoid sunburn. Boys splash in the water, teaching others how to swim. Swimmers show off their skills.
In the orchards, ex-shtibl boys and girls gather, and eat the fresh fruit. On blankets spread close to one another on the ground, or on suit jackets, couples lie, and declare their love.
The valleys between the mountains were used by the various organizations, Zionists, Bundists, HeChalutz. There the Yudenshtats Partei arose and held several meetings. This was after the putsch by the revisionist party in 1933. The leaders were Yankel Gewertz, Chaim Ber Bach. I was a member of the committee.
Many youthful secrets were left in the valleys, expressions of affection, words of love. More than once, their sweet dreams were interrupted by a goy running after them swinging a scythe or a sickle.
Around 5:00 o'clock, they all begin to stream back to town. At 6:00 o'clock, the promenading begins in and around the shtetl. Girls dressed elegantly. Boys in presentable suits, striped shirts with stiff shiny collarslike at an exhibition.
The new promenade, the Zamosc Road, the Roslop Road, and Fleischer's sawmill, are filled with peoplenewlyweds, boys and girls walking side by side, or girls in a group, with boys eagerly following. Flirting is the order of the day. From time to time a girl's embarrassed giggle can be heard, and a blushing face can be seen. The strolling goes on until late in the night.
With the appearance of stars in the sky, you hear the shop doors opening with a weekday clang. Have a good week, they call out.
Business partners get together for their weekly accounting. Many of the strollers leave to begin their work week. Couples tarry as late as possible until the girl says, It's time to go home. The boy takes her home silently, and waits by the door, unwilling to part, until she says, Yes, it's late, and steals into the house so as not to wake anyone.
Translator's Notes

by Moshe Zisser
Translated by Moses Milstein
My father, Laizer Zalman, was a Radziner Chasid. He would study all year in the Radziner shtibl . His entire livelihood came from selling Passover salt. He was the only one in town who was occupied in this business.
In 1904, when I was eight years old, my father took me to the Radziner shtibl to study. The older boys studied separately from the younger boys.
Mornings and evenings were for studying and davening, but the rest of the day was given over to the clandestine work of Zionism which was illegal under the Tsar.
At first the older boys kept their activities from us, driving us away with blows when we approached their desks. But later, they took us gradually into the work. We would stand guard, stationed 20 meters apart, and when we saw the police or the watchman approach, we would give the signal, Lecha dodi, Barach dodi ch'tsevi, and the one closest to the shtibl would shout, Tchivchak is coming.
While we kept guard outside, the older boys were inside reading various Hebrew newspapers, mostly, HaTsfira , whose editor was R' Nachum Sokolow. There was always a fire going in the stove when they were reading the newspapers and books, so they could, in the worst case, burn the material.
Illegal even among our own
One Friday, we were visited by several prominent young people, among them, the Talmud chochem, R' Abraham MordechaiLaizer Papieroshnik's son, Leibish Kretchish, David Groiser, Yankel GershtenblitIsrael Milchiker's son, Leibish Kiro, Abraham Itche Becher, Todros Nickelsberg, and others. They had brought a sack, and from it they distributed Keren Kayemet pushkes to the boys. The pushkes were considered traif by the frume Jews of the shtetl. When they found out about the great transgression, they threw the boys out of the shtibl. It was a big disgrace for the parents.
I remember that once, before I began going to the Radziner shtibl, I went to call my brother to come home for dinner. I saw none of the older students there, except for R' Moshe Honigman who told me. Go tell your father that Yosel is also now with the learned ones.
And so, nationalist enlightenment gradually spread throughout our shtetl.

Join the Independence Seaport Museum on Saturday, September 7 for activities inside our Museum based around Coast Day, an event held on Penn's Landing by the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation in partnership with the Delaware Estuary. The activities inside the Museum will be held from 10:00 - 5:00 p.m., and are presented to compliment Coast Day outside on Penn's Landing. Museum activities are included with Museum admission.
The Philadelphia Ship Model Society Regatta will take place in the basin and the judged show will happen on the Landing. Museum guests will see various scale model ships including warships, steamships, sailing ships and submarines running around a course that represent islands. The models that will be competing will range in size from 1 – 6 feet in length. They are incredibly detailed and a great activity to watch with the kids.
TEACH FLEET, with 120 ships, is the world's largest Lego ship collection. It was built to cover the entire range of modern self-propelled vessels from tugboats to aircraft carriers to super tankers. The ships are between 6 feet to 1-1/2 feet long (the average length is 3 feet).
The TEACH FLEET was entirely scratch built by Wilbert McKinley (a former ship designer for major naval architecture firms and shipyards) from Lego style building blocks without the aid of kits, directions, drawing plans or pictures. Several hundred thousand building blocks were hand selected from various used and recycled sources then cleaned and sorted by color and type prior to construction.
The ships were built to help bridge the digital divide by encouraging students that are traditionally underrepresented in math and science related occupations to consider careers related to math and science. Each ship is named in honor of a female, African American, Hispanic American, or Asian American who made a contribution to science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM). The biography of each ship's namesake celebrates not only their STEM contributions, but also their individual triumph over the obstacles that were historically imposed on many Americans because of their gender or race.
The ships were designed and built to demonstrate how technology interacts with the land, sea, and air in both positive and negative ways; and how poor uses of technology can create problems, but good uses of technology can provide solutions.
The ships provide a catalyst for discussion to create environmental literacy, environmental stewardship, and the further discussion and study of the Geosciences, as well as interest in educational and careers opportunities related to the Geosciences.
TEACH FLEET has been working with other organizations for STEM learning and collaboration. For more information, go to http://teachfleet.com/Next_Event.html.
The lecture for "Inferno at Sea: Stories of Death and Survival Aboard the Morro Castle" will take place in the Panorama Theatre inside the Seaport Museum. Following the lecture, there will be a book signing by authors Gretchen F. Coyle and Deborah C. Whitcraft.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Excellent service
Luminous Hibiscus Thank You Cards Creating your own invitations and cards is easy to do on their website. They have a very large selection and they're turnaround time for making and shipping is excellent.
Love It!
Luminous Hibiscus Save the Date Magnets The Beach Sand design worked perfectly with the photo we chose for our save-the-dates (click on photo to see full image). Our wedding is sort of a back yard/rustic/vintage theme, and the imprint design underneath the photo gave a nice feel to the overall magnet. People cannot stop raving about how "cute" they are, and love the fact that you can stick them right on the fridge. Delivery was timely, cost was VERY reasonable, and we are overall very happy with the finished product.
Good Product
Luminous Hibiscus Save the Date Magnets I rated these magnets a 'good.' What I liked about this product, was (1) you got to customize the magnet how you wanted it; (2) the picture was extremely accurate to the actual product, which can be a problem when ordering online; (3) the design was modern; (4) the price was great. However, there were a couple of things I felt could have been improved, such as (1) the magnet was flimsy, and can be ripped right in half, and creases if it is bent; (2) also the style I chose doesn't have any matching wedding invitations, which I can probably find something similar on the site, but not exact. So overall, I was happy with my purchase, especially for it being an online venture, which can be a problem at times. I've ordered Christmas cards online and such and have not been happy with the actual product, which is not the case here. I got my product in a little keepsake box, everything came well-organized, and they even sent me a book with sample wedding invitations, etc, which I thought was a nice touch. I think what would have made me rate this product from a 'good' to an 'excellent' would be if the magnet was just a little more sturdy.
Great Product
Luminous Hibiscus Save the Date Magnets My fiance and I really enjoyed the save the dates, the price was great and the quality was wonderful. They were a bit smaller than I had expected but all in all I am happy with our choice. Our guest have had nothing but good things to say about them. - mm2weddings
Great magnets
Luminous Hibiscus Save the Date Magnets We ordered the magnets, which are a hit with our guests. The design was easy and we could change the colors to our own. The turn around time did take a little longer than I had hoped, but considering the price I was okay with 2 weeks.
