Short version: More than 150 miles upriver from New York City, a little bagel shop is baking authentic downstate bagels.

I bet it's an accident.
Submitted by Carlin-Equities on Wed, 11/11/2009 - 22:20. Permalink
If you're going to deceive someone, you wouldn't make it so obvious. You'd have to be really stupid to think that someone wouldn't catch this. But I guess it's possible some naive technician in the editing room could have spliced it in thinking he could trick everyone.
By the way I believe Stewart has done some manipulative editing in the past too.

"I love contesting. There is something about the camaraderie, discipline and knowledge contesting
demands that fits me; it doesn't fit everyone . . . but it sure fits me." - Jim White, K4OJ (SK)
The Florida Contest Group (FCG), an ARRL affiliated club, is Florida's amateur radio contest club. It's members share a common interest in the sport
of amateur radio contesting. FCG members have a wide range of contesting experience, from beginners to World Champions. They willingly share their knowledge and skills to promote
ham radio contesting in Florida. Members, who number in excess of 200, range from Jacksonville to South Florida. FCG has a "Panhandle" division for those contesters living in the Florida Panhandle
who are outside the ARRL's 175 mile "club circle".
The Florida Contest Group supports and encourages all types of
contesting, from HF to light, all modes, power classes and skill levels.
The Florida Contest Group will be activating W1AW/4 during the week of November 19-25 (UTC). Check the current Operating Schedule, and Operating and Log Submission Guidelines.
Communications is key to amateur radio. The Florida Contest Group uses several methods to communicate with its members, including frequent area meetings,
the Gazette newsletter and a club e-mail reflector. All of these methods are used to inform members of what the club is doing, and to encourage, support and help each other in our contest activities.
While the ARRL no longer specifies meeting requirements for club members, the FCG continues to hold face-to-face meetings as often as possible.
These meetings are usually held in conjunction with major hamfests, such as Melbourne, Orlando, Tampa and Ft. Walton Beach. Occasionally, meetings are also held at members' homes.
Non-members are welcome to attend to find out more about the FCG or about contesting in general.
The FCG Meeting will be held during the Melbourne Hamfest, October 10-11, 2014.

"Super Troopers 2″ will start production in 2015
The long-awaited Super Troopers sequel is reportedly on its way. After many years of talk, Broken Lizard's Steve Lemme (aka "Mac") told Us Weekly that production will begin in early 2015.
"You know, it was a combination of having to settle some of the legal disputes about making a sequel, while also negotiating terms for it," Lemme told Us of what took so long. "The fans have been asking for it for a while, but we were finally able to package everything together. Fox is going to distribute the film, but we needed to raise the money for it. We're close. There may be a Kickstarter launched to raise the last little bit."
The cult favorite comedy that followed Lemme, Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Erik Stolhanske, and Paul Soter as five Vermont state troopers, was released in 2001, making it a good fourteen year gap in films. However, Lemme says the Super Troopers 2 will pick up right where the original left off. The biggest difficulty was trying to top that opening scene, which so many people have complimented us on. I think we've done it," says Lemme. Read More

Robin Hood is one of the most-beloved characters in legend and film. There have been over 200 movie and TV adaptations, in English and in 11 other languages. They range from the 1991 dud starring Kevin Costner to the 1939 Errol Flynn version that most critics consider the best of them all. That quintessential Robin Hood film gave Flynn his greatest role, and won 3 Academy Awards. It was nominated for Best Picture, though it didn't win. (It was up against Gone With the Wind--which won--and The Wizard of Oz. What can we say? 1939 was a great year for movies!)
Who was Robin Hood, anyway? Nobody knows for sure. Few serious scholars believe there ever was an actual person by that name. The figure in legend may have been based on one or more real persons, and there are many different versions of his history. The earliest tales, from the 14th and 15th centuries, describe him as a devoutly Catholic free-born farmer from Locksley in Yorkshire. Later tales bring in the possibility that he was a knight or nobleman whose lands were stolen from him. There are also many different accounts of why Robin Hood was an outlaw. But, for whatever reason, he and his band of "merry" men lived in Sherwood Forest and stole from the rich to give to the poor. All tales agree that he was an archer of exceptional skill. (As an interesting aside: the word "merry" in the Middle Ages had a very different meaning than it does now. Instead of meaning happy or cheerful, the phrase "merry men" referred to a criminal gang!)
You can live the Robin Hood legend in one of our Robin Hood costumes. We have versions for men, women and kids. We also have costumes that let your friends be Maid Marian, Friar Tuck or other Merry Men. You could do a group theme quite easily. Just practice your archery skills. You might get challenged to a contest!

"My Time Is Not Now"

What do I mean? My chatting days are either over or not ready for prime time. So it is unfair to review the application as I really have not been able to make use of it.
I don't know but I am sure there are some. Perhaps the lack of it being free as it was at one time for the most part.

"Kindle Book Webcam Magic by Dr. Steele better/easier"
Version: Camfrog Video Chat 6.2.190
Easy, but what impressions do you really want to give, what effects would you really like to create???
Effects are juvenile, amateurish. Book I read (above) showed me how to posterize myself, create special effects (look like an alien, for example), even look like other people, all live, with LIVE webcam feeds. Suitable for business, making yourself LOOK better, any purpose, not just being silly or hidden completely.
Once you learn how to produce effects with lighting, in particular, as shown in the book (it's EASY), these kind of effects just don't measure up, not powerful or versatile enough.

"Another hand in your pocket?"
Version: Camfrog Video Chat 6.2
The software works ok, although it is crippleware. Being limited to one small video window doesn't provide an open window to the true capabilities of the software. What happened to an unencumbered trial period, guys?
True to the common new business model, you have to rent the full capability that the program has. Big brother isn't a cam ridden society, It's a society where you have to buy software then let a business put it's hand in your pocket perpetually. I'd rather buy software that I only have to pay for once.
If not for that subscription required for full capability, I'd give it an a+. Anything that takes us from chat to nearly face to face communication is a step forward. I for one will continue to resist the trend towards allowing every company I deal with putting their hand in my pocket and giving them the keys to my bank account.
"Handy for quick communication on a network."
Version: Camfrog Video Chat 6.2
Saves me knocking on doors in the house I share.
My only complaint is that formatting text is a little glitchy. Creating paragraphs doesn't work as the enter key sends your message, which is OK, but use the spacebar to accomplish the purpose & Camfrog has a mind of its own.

In this letter, we illustrate how metafilms (the two-dimensional equivalents of metamaterials, also referred to as metasurfaces) can be used to design novel waveguiding structures. Metafilm waveguides can be flexible with low material and radiation losses. They are attractive alternatives to traditional core-cladding types of surface waveguides and, as such, could have potential applications at terahertz frequencies. We show comparisons to full-wave numerical results in order to validate first the proposed waveguiding structure and, second, the technique used in the analysis of the waveguide.

Andrew Schpak Recognized by Multnomah Bar Association and Traci Ray Named MBA YLS President
|| Print |
Two Barran Liebman attorneys were recognized by the Multnomah Bar Association at their 107th Annual Meeting last week in Portland.
Andrew Schpak, a Partner of the firm, received the MBA's Award of Merit for 2013. This award is traditionally presented to a member of the legal community who demonstrates an "enduring commitment to the MBA's mission of promoting justice through service, education or leadership to the MBA, the legal profession and the community." Schpak's involvement in the MBA began not long after he first started practicing law in 2004. Over the past nine years he has served on five different committees, and chaired three. He has lent his experience and insight to several different task forces and he has served as the President of the MBA's Young Lawyers Section Board. Currently, he serves as the MBA's Delegate to the American Bar Association's House of Delegates. Schpak's continued and dedicated service to the MBA, sustained while maintaining a very active legal practice, and honoring other community commitments, earned him this year's MBA Award of Merit.
The Annual Meeting also marked the official start of Traci Ray's tenure as President of the MBA's Young Lawyers Section. Ray, Barran Liebman's Executive Director, has served on the Young Lawyers Section Board for the past two years, has chaired the YLS's Professional Development and Education Committee, and has served on the MBA's Pro Bono Committee. While she is President, she will continue to vote as the MBA YLS Delegate to the American Bar Association. Ray looks forward to the challenges and opportunities that her new position will offer. "I am excited to serve the as the MBA YLS President and I welcome the upcoming year," she says. "I look forward to developing new projects that will benefit our membership and community, such as Wills for Heroes, and working with the awesome board and committee chairs to enhance the practice of law for all young lawyers in Portland." Ray's tenure as President will run for one year.

The History
Let's be honest, the vast majority of visitors to the festival won't be too concerned about Oktoberfest's antecedents. That said, knowing the origins of the event can only boost your appreciation. The first occasion was a far cry from current proceedings, a celebration of the royal marriage of Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese in 1810. The main attraction at this time was horse racing, a tradition that continued for several years before the transformation began to take place. Beer stands gave way to the now infamous tents in 1896, carousels were replaced by more adventurous fairground rides, and the reputation started to spread like wildfire beyond Germany.

I feel really silly for asking this , but how do I place buttons correctly in graphical layout for main.xml. I am trying to place buttons in linear layout but they will only be placed vertically or horizontally depending on the orientation. Once i reach the end the buttons simply overlap. I want to start making basic applications in eclipse with the android sdk and eventually try games but this user interface creator so far has me stumped. Is there a proper way of creating a ui that I am not doing?
Thank you

Barely a few years ago boys and girls in Africa didn't have specific individual ages. Rather, they were in groups, cults, and peers. So a boy's age and maturity isn't measured by when he was born but by which age group he belongs to. In addition, initiation into higher social platforms is done in a collective way together with other members of the same group or peer.
In as much as this concept sounds archaic and possibly ineffective to us today, a careful search as to why it was done in the first place will reveal some astonishing things about how we learn. Children were grouped in peers and cults so they could learn by interaction. In some of these groups what they had weren't "teachers" (from a narrow meaning of the word) but guides and counsellors. So, they learned to hunt together, farm together, dance together and get married together. As time went by these groups develop such strong bonds that they'll willingly die protecting each other than live without the other.
Our present-day classes are designed in a way that narrowly imitates this method of peering but we contradict the goal of grouping by encouraging and enforcing individualism within the group.
If you will learn effectively, I propose you form groups with people of like minds. Interact with one another, advice each other, complement weaknesses and sharpen strengths. In my book, Do it Like Kids, I suggested 5 unifying factors that ensure groups and teams work effectively. Here is a summary:
If you will learn effectively, I propose you form groups with people of like minds. Interact with one another, advice each other, complement weaknesses and sharpen strengths. In my book, Do it Like Kids, I suggested 5 unifying factors that ensure groups and teams work effectively. Here is a summary:
1. The unifying factor of harmonizing skills: members of a team should complement each other in skill. If you have everybody in a group having just one skill, know that you have no team at all. There is practically no way such a group can effectively provide excellent service at all times. When children form teams, team players take up roles that they feel they can best fit into. They don't all take up the same role because it makes play boring.
2. The unifying factor of shared purpose: Every team must have a single reason why it is doing what it is doing. Every member of the team must share that ideal reason. This is the purpose of the team. Myles Monroe in his famous quote said, "If the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable." In line with that I say if the purpose of a team is not known and shared by the team players, abuse is inevitable.
3. The unifying factor of performance goals: A goal is an aim, something someone wants to achieve in a specified period. In view of this, a performance goal is a goal that specifies the performance required of a team. If this is lacking, progress cannot be measured and if progress is not measured, there is no way the team can say if it is successful or not. So every team needs to set goals to help move it forward. Here are some ways to set performance goals-
- Write them down in clear terms
- Set a time frame
- Make a list of everything the team will have to do
- Plan
- Review often
4. The unifying factor of approach: the approach taken to achieve the performance goals is as important as setting the goal in the first place. If you know where you are going, then you immediately become restricted in the number of roads that will lead you there.
5. The unifying factor of mutual accountability: who is responsible? Whose fault is it? Who is to give account? These are questions all groups have to answer at one point or the other and therein lie where many groups fall short of being teams. Note this; in a team, nobody is accountable, everybody is. It is nobody's fault; everybody is at fault. Nobody is responsible, it is everyone's responsibility. The moment this is missed, the cords that bind team play are broken.

Just around the corner, World Usability Day aims to put the client back in charge. On Nov. 14th more than 135 events will be organized in 35 plus countries to raise awareness of the benefits of usability engineering and user centric design.
According to the "Usability Professionals' Association" (UPA - the group organizing the event), "this Earth Day style event, focused on raising awareness and visibility of usability engineering and user centered design, is currently being organized by volunteers and local event coordinators from around the world."
Good so far, but what can it mean for CM professionals? The key is a focus on our "users." This "Day" of events (actually lasting 36 hours around the globe) is designed to help professionals understand what users need to make things work better. So think UI, accessibility concerns, good methodologies, and just plain good engineering.
Imagine your users asking, "What the @#$%^ were they thinking when they designed this UI?". Then imagine a day during which product managers, designers, and engineers can learn how to preempt that scenario.
That's the opportunity event organizers are seeking to provide. The UPA, UPA chapters, and allied organizations will all hold events, revolving around a common theme — "Making life easy!" — with a focus this year on accessibility and inclusion.
Tune in, no matter where you are. A series of 12 podcasts and webinars are already scheduled, including "COST 219ter: Mobile Phone Accessibility Evaluation Toolkit," from the UK, "Usability and Accessibility: Twin Children of Different Mothers," from Matawan, NJ USA, and "Usability in Wollongong," from the the Activity Theory Usability Laboratory (ATUL) at the University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia — see http://www.worldusabilityday.org/event/webcasts.
Who's on board? Oracle is in (snort …oops, please excuse us). Intuit, Apogee, SAP, and Human Factors International, all of whom are sponsors. Supporting organizations include the User Experience Network, the Human Factors & Ergonomics Society, and the Society of Technical Communicators who will hold a Usability Competition, and The World's Largest Online Card Sort.
Is there still time to participate? Yes — as fast as you can say "podcast," there is. If interested, sit down with your corporate messaging and engineering teams, schedule an event or podcast, then submit it to World Usability Day at:

Origin & People of Indus Valley Civilization
Origin & People of Indus Valley Civilization
Indus Valley Civilization is one of the oldest civilizations of the Indian subcontinent and was a remarkably developed one. Archaeological excavations indicate that Indus valley civilization had flourished in about 3000 B.C.
Indus Valley Civilisation
is the earliest known civilization of the Indian Subcontinent. According to Wheeler, the famous archaeologist, Indus Valley Civilization had flourished from about 3000 B.C, much before the existence of other civilizations, to 1500 B.C. It is believed that Indus Valley Civilization belonged to the late
(New Stone Age) Age and
(Copper) Age as the presence of iron tools and implements has not yet been established in any part of this civilization. Indus Valley Civilization was named so as its occurrence was mainly discovered along the banks of
Indus River
and its tributaries. So far as the origin of the word "Indus" is concerned, Scholars are of the opinion that the name "Indus" is the origin of the word "Hindu." The original Indian name of the river was Sindhu. The ancient Iranians had difficulty in pronouncing an initial sibilant "s" and changed it to an aspirate sound "h", hence, "H-indu" instead of "S-indhu." In ancient times Indians themselves referred to their country as Bharata-varsha (the "land of the sons of Bharata," a ruler). Indus Valley Civilization is also known as Harappan Civilization, owing to the fact that
was the first city discovered in this civilization.
Origin of Indus Valley Civilization
Discovered in 1920, various archaeological researches have suggested that Indus Valley Civilization had marked its origin some 5000 years ago. The two most significant sites of this civilization, namely Harappa and
, were discovered in the banks of
Ravi River
Indus River
respectively. It has been estimated that a group of nomadic people from Sumeria, currently known as Iran, had come to northwest India through Mula pass across
. The rich and fertile land there nourished by the five rivers namely
and Indus, which is the modern day
, influenced them to settle down. As compared to the deserts where they used to dwell, this place was bliss to them with abundance of water and natural resources. Over years, these immigrants spread their settlement along the Indus River which gave rise to Indus Valley Civilization. Indus Valley Civilization was an urban civilization and was a remarkably developed one. Subsequent researches have furnished that, Indus Valley Civilization was not only confined to the Indus Valley but was also spread through the north-western and western parts of India.
People of Indus Valley Civilization
The excavations and analyses done so far are not sufficient to reach an exact conclusion about the people of Indus Valley Civilization. Scholars differ in their opinion about the race of Indus people. Researches have furnished that Indus Valley Civilization had been a combination of diverse racial elements. Certain anthropological investigations and examinations of the human remains show that four racial types existed in this civilization namely Proto-Australiod, Mediterranean, Alpinoid and the Mongoloid. The civilization had a rich cultural heritage and evidences suggest that the people of this civilization were literate and had developed a system of writing.
Urban Development in Indus Valley Civilization
Architectural similarities in the twin cities of Harappa and Mohenjodaro confirm the fact that both these cities were parts of the same government. Indus Valley Civilization was urbanized, highly developed and sophisticated. Its stability can be traced up to thousands of years from its origin. The ruins exhibit high level of planning in the cities. Excavations have indicated that the buildings were built with baked bricks. The streets were well constructed at right angles with an elaborate and covered drainage system. Localities were divided clearly and the houses had watermarks for upper and lower classes of society. The civilization also had public buildings including the vast granaries and the Great Bath at Mohenjodaro. Production of metals like bronze, lead, tin and copper can also be traced in this era. Kilns have also been excavated which testify the usage of burnt bricks for the construction of various buildings. People of this civilization were strikingly skilled in artistry.
Occupation of the people of Indus Valley Civilization
Cultivation was a fairly popular occupation in the Indus Valley Civilization. Harappans used to cultivate wheat, peas, barley and sesame. Evidences suggest that cotton was cultivated for the first time by Harappans and clothes were made using them. Domestic animals like goats, camels, buffalos and fowls were widely used in the society. Various seals have been found from the ruminants which indicates that trade was another popular activity prevalent in the society. Seals of different shapes and designs, with carvings of animal or human figures, suggest that each merchant had his own seal. Discovery of seals from Ur, Sumeru and other areas of Mesopotamian civilization are indicative of the fact that Harappan people had trade relation with the Mesopotamian people.
Society and Religion of Indus Valley Civilization
Findings and elaborate clues support the fact that Harappan Civilization had an organized form of government to rule the society. The social classes were divided according to the occupation of the people. Various deities were worshipped and their images can be found on the seals. Evidences have also established the practice of several religious ceremonies and rituals. Although, no remains of any monument have been excavated but numerous
statues of Mother Goddess have been found suggesting that Mother Goddess had been worshipped extensively by the Harappan people.
The exact reason behind the decline of Indus Valley Civilization has not yet been confirmed. However several theories have been proposed for its explanation. Many aspects of this civilization are yet to be discovered and further excavations can help to have a better understanding of its extent. The development and urbanization of the civilization at such ancient period is strikingly admirable which had laid the foundation of subsequent civilizations in the country.
