Chapters 1-2 Summary
Editor's Note: In Brooklyn Bridge, the author tells two stories simultaneously. The main story, presented in the text with regular font, is about Joseph Michtom and his immigrant family who live in Brooklyn. The italicized sections recount the story of a group of unwanted children who live under the Brooklyn Bridge during the same period. The author interweaves the two story lines exactly as summarized here. At the end of the novel, the connection between the two becomes clear.
Chapter 1
The other kids in the neighborhood think that fourteen-year-old Joseph Michtom is lucky, but he is not sure that he agrees. It is July 1903, and the Michtom family is thriving financially; after having been in America for only sixteen years, Papa and Mama have established an innovative business manufacturing stuffed bears. Joseph acknowledges that he is indeed fortunate, but sometimes he longs for the days when Papa simply ran the candy shop and novelty store located below the family's crowded flat in Brooklyn, New York. Papa had time to spend with Joseph and his "kid sister" Emily, Mama, and little Benjamin then, even as he struggled to eke out a living for them all.
The Michtoms come from Russia. All Papa has left of his family are three sisters: Golda, whom the children call "The Queen" because of her take-charge manner; disagreeable Zelda, whom they think of as "Aunt Beast"; and quiet, unassuming Lena, whom they have nicknamed "Aunt Mouse." The sisters live over the bridge in Manhattan and rarely cross over to visit in the comparatively lower-class environs of Brooklyn. In contrast, Mama's brother, Uncle Meyer, lives only seven blocks away from the Michtoms and is "over at [their] place all the time." Thirty years old and unmarried, Uncle Meyer is a "free-thinker" in social and political matters, as are Emily and Mama.
It was Mama, five...

Chapters 3-4 Summary
Chapter 3
Emily overhears Mama and Papa talking about Pauline Unger one evening and promptly relays the woman's story to Joseph. Pauline, who is nineteen and already has a college degree, had been sent to visit her parents' homeland, Russia, upon her graduation. There, she had fallen in love with a man and had become engaged to him. The man is coming to America now, to marry Pauline at the end of the week.
Pauline, however, is no longer sure if she wants to marry her Russian. Uncle Meyer has sent her to Mama for advice and a place to stay where she might have some time to think. When Joseph hears her story, his love for Pauline fades. She is not "exotic and mysterious" as his youthful heart had imagined; she is "just another girl."
Max and Karl came together from Russia with their mothers, while their fathers stayed behind to finish up some business in their homeland. Karl's mother died soon after their arrival in America, so Max's mother took him in. In an effort to help pay the rent and put food on the table, the boys broke into a house and stole some money. When they presented Max's mother with their offering of cash, however, she raged at them for their delinquency, driving them both away. The boys wandered awhile, trying to stay clear of the authorities. They finally found a home where they could stay together, under the bridge.
Chapter 4
Aunt Golda was the first in Papa's family to come to America. Once here, she saved "every penny" she earned and brought her siblings over too, one by one. The Queen works at a factory in the Bronx and resides alone in a small room on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Her two younger sisters, Aunt Beast and Aunt Mouse, live together in a flat on Henry Street; although both of these women have passed their citizenship tests while their older sibling and mentor has not, neither of them takes advantage of the many...

Chapters 5-6 Summary
Chapter 5
Aunt Golda is stricken with apoplexy, and the family gathers by her bedside. The Queen sends them all away, however; she has something she needs to discuss with Joseph alone. Aunt Golda's only regret in life is that she never became a citizen in her adopted homeland. The dying woman wants her nephew to ask her the questions a citizen should know, so that she can die an American.
Sensing that his beloved aunt has very little time left, Joseph improvises, querying her about the American flag and the presidents. One last question, about the three rights everyone has in this country, is the most difficult, but The Queen knows the answer because it is the reason she came here, for "life...liberty...pursuit of happiness." Having passed the test, The Queen instructs Joseph to craft a document verifying her citizenship. While Joseph carefully works with paper and ink, Tante Golda dies.
The family reconvenes in the room to pay their respects to their departed relative. Aunt Mouse weeps silently, but Aunt Beast, after lamenting The Queen's departure, callously inquires if she left any money. Papa examines a box, which contains Aunt Golda's important papers. Included inside are Joseph's homemade citizenship document and receipts showing that even after she had rescued her family, The Queen had continued to bring people out of Russia, and over to America, until the day she died.
Chapter 6
In keeping with tradition, the Michtom family sits shiva for Aunt Golda for seven days. The Queen, who had helped so many people during her lifetime, is much beloved, and dozens of mourners come to pay their respects. Pauline Unger, who has married her Russian after all, is among these, as is Mr. Moscowitz, The Queen's boss at the factory. Lizzie Kaplan, the real estate professional, comes every night; it turns out that she had been one of the first refugees brought over from Russia...

Chapters 7-8 Summary
Chapter 7
Benjamin contracts a severe case of influenza; the little boy runs a high fever which will not abate, and he is wracked by "an evil cough." The family thinks he should go to the hospital, but Mama, who has a deep distrust of such places, refuses. Miss Weil, a nurse who works at the school, comes to the house to examine Benjamin, and she recommends that he should indeed be hospitalized. Still, Mama is adamant in her opposition, so she hires Miss Weil to help her care for Benjamin at home.
Benjamin's condition does not improve, and Joseph is afraid that his little brother is going to die. In an effort to calm his nephew's fear, Uncle Meyer takes Joseph to a secret, quiet grotto in Prospect Park, where he often goes himself to find peace. Joseph does experience a measure of comfort there, but on his way home, he learns that a neighbor, Dilly Lepkoff, has a sick baby, too. A sense of dread overcomes Joseph again, and he is convinced that before the week is over, there will be a funeral on his block.
Joseph stops at the candy store and tells his father that Dilly's baby is in the hospital. Knowing that the Lepkoff family will be suffering financially, Papa sends Joseph over to their flat with some butterscotch and some money. Joseph is happy to discover that the Lepkoff baby is actually home from the hospital and is doing much better. At home though, despite Mama's tender care and determined optimism, Benjamin is still a very sick boy.
Dickie Tidwell used to live in the servants' quarters of a fine house near Prospect Park with his father, who is a hoodlum and a thief. After a botched robbery attempt one day, the degenerate man went into a rage and beat his son mercilessly, but Dickie did not die. Battered and broken, the boy managed to stagger through the streets until he found the children under the bridge. There, wordlessly, he took shelter and nursed his wounds until his body...

Chapter 9
Aunt Beast and Aunt Mouse do not adjust well to being landowners. At a family meeting about a month after Tante Golda's death, Aunt Mouse (Lena) announces that she is going away. She has been hired by the Jewish Removal Society to travel around the country in search of places where Jews who have emigrated from Europe can settle and be welcomed. Quiet Lena reveals that she has always wanted to travel, and more importantly, her new job will allow her to continue the work that Tante Golda, The Queen, had begun in helping Jews find new homes in America.
Lena wants to sell her apartment house to her sister Zelda, Aunt Beast. At first, Zelda is resistant to the idea, but when Lizzie...

The Rostowsky family lives on Hancock Street in Brooklyn. Everyone in the neighborhood knows their story. They had been attacked in their village in Russia a decade ago, and their oldest son, Samuel, had been killed. Their younger son, Jacob, had been four at the time; his head had been bashed in by the butt of a rifle. Although he had survived, the boy had suffered severe, irreversible brain damage. Jacob, who had been a normal, smart child before the attack, is now unable to learn like the other students in school. His memory and coordination are grossly impaired, and he just "never learned how to act right" in social situations.
Jacob watches from his window as the boys in the...

As it turns out, Joseph ends up getting his wish for a Superbas game well worth the experience of attending it. The day starts off inauspiciously when he arrives at the Rostowskys house to find that Jacob is sick. Jacob announces, without preamble, that he "threw up," but Mrs. Rostowsky, after feeling her son's forehead, concludes that his illness is due to excitement. Joseph commiserates, telling Jacob gently, "getting excited can make you sick all right, Jake."
On the trolley ride to the baseball field, Jacob and Joseph have to stand, holding the straps, because the vehicle is so crowded. Jacob calls out that he feels sick again, and the people at his end of the trolley seem to...

Now that Papa is putting all his effort toward the toy bear business, the candy store below the family's flat is closed. One night at dinner, Emily asks if she can use the front window of the store for her own project, as the city has approved her application to run a library from home. Under this program, small collections of books are placed in private homes for neighborhood children to borrow. These small operations are run as a public service by students who, like Emily, love books and want to share their passion with others.
Papa at first says that he needs the storefront window, but Mama talks to him and gets him to change his mind. The whole family helps Emily clean and...

Joseph stands in the water for a long time. When he emerges, he returns to the place where he had left his clothes but finds they are no longer there. Meticulously, he scours the sand, searching for his shirt, pants, shoes, socks, and cap. Finally, he is forced to admit that his things are gone; he is stranded there on the beach, wearing only his soaked underwear.
Radiant Boy comes every night, ignoring the other children under the bridge and gazing only at May.

As the wedding guests head toward the exit of the amusement park, they pass by Uncle Izzy's booth. Though his art supplies and pictures are still there, he is gone. A fortune teller in a neighboring booth had known Izzy well and tells the family that the artist had long pined for his wife, who was no longer with him, and for his son, who had died. That evening, when business was quieting down, he had become agitated; muttering over and over, "Now I can die happy," he had simply walked away.
The family is stunned, and Aunt Zelda sways, looking faint. Joseph, however, thinks he knows where his uncle went and slips away, hoping he is not too late. As expected, Joseph finds Uncle Izzy...

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Make Your Own Gear › DIY poles with the most "bend-ability"?
Oct 12, 2010 at 6:58 pm #1264334
Looking to make a single hooped bivy for my Peru trip in 3 weeks and curious if anybody knows which poles have the most bend-ability, of those available from the usual channels.
I want to do a full short arch within a pretty narrow space. Maybe 36" wide x 24" tall as an arbitrary baseline?
Thanks!Oct 12, 2010 at 7:42 pm #1653982

I went to http://www.polesforyou.com/index.htm in Vancouver WA and they bent some Easton 7075 Aluminum poles for me.
They used a crude plywood jig. It was a quarter of a circle as I remember. The radius of the circle was smaller than the desired hoop radius, because the pole springs back. The guy bent it several times and asked me if that was enough, then bent it some more. There was a metal loop at one end of the circle to keep the pole in place and he pulled at the other end of the pole with his hand.
I used 0.344" tube for a hoop that was maybe 45" wide and high.Oct 12, 2010 at 7:42 pm #1653984

The old Early Winters Omnipotent tent had in fiberglass what you want (there is a thread with pix from last year); but, as far as I know, none such are available today. Easton Mountain Products has a new tent with a tight radius carbon hoop, but they don't sell the poles separately, and haven't seen the tent close up anyway to verify the bendability. That's why the manufacturers prebend some of the poles in a hoop, or use elbows at the apexes (e.g. Montbell Crescent).
Quest Outfitters has a good selection of elbows, and if you are only going to use one per hoop, get the Easton alu sections, also available from Quest, as they will tolerate the elbows much better then the carbon that IMO is only reliable in high radius bends.
Roger has a machine that prebends alu without using heat (that affects the tempering); so I know it can be done, but don't know where here in the USA. So elbows are probably the better way to go. Look at Roger's pix on bushwalking.org.au to get clear ideas on using elbows with both carbon and alu to make hoop tents. The link is in Stuart R's Oct 12th post on the 'Spinnshelter – esque' thread.
At one time, I used the type of quite bendable solid quarter inch fiberglass used for pennants for the top arc sections, and typical alu for the lower sections; but was never really satisfied with this approach because an elastic cord could not be strung through the whole hoop.
Sorry that I don't have more info, but hope this is helpful. Maybe someone else can provide exactly what you seek.

Just a thought- Walmart sells a 5'x 6' junior kids tent with thin fiber glass poles for $19.00. The poles are 7 pieces, 10.5 feet long and weigh 6 oz each. Which works out to 16 grams per foot including connections. I had a set and found they can easily be bent to the radius you are proposing. They also seem stiff enough for that application. You would have to cut the section lengths and restring the elastic of course.Oct 12, 2010 at 10:35 pm #1654037
Thanks guys, much good input to think about.
I'll probably order a few sections and elbows and see how close that gets me, if that doesn't work I'll call Tentpole Tech and see what they can do.Oct 12, 2010 at 11:43 pm #1654040

I would think the smallest diameter poles would be the most flexible. I can't remember where I read it before, but filling the tube with sand before (pre)bending is good for preventing kinks.Oct 13, 2010 at 6:57 pm #1654336
Many companies use Delrin rods or something similar for lightweight hooped bivies, and of course as pack frame components and more. Cheap and easy. Check this out:Oct 14, 2010 at 9:03 am #1654503
Brad, that seems to be the route to explore, I didn't even think of Delrin.
Thank you!Oct 14, 2010 at 9:36 am #1654513
Sure! One thing I'm not sure about sourcing is a ferrule or joint. I'm tempted to say you could use, say, 1/4" ID rubber tubing, but am not sure it would be rigid enough at the joints. I don't know where the aluminum (?) ones people use come from.Oct 14, 2010 at 10:31 pm #1654771

@scfhomeLocale: Chocorua NH, USA
The kite material websites have lots of ferrules, including aluminum alloy. Goodwinds is pretty good with specs on the weights and diameters, but you may have to call to get the lengths. I think Quest Outfitters also sells Easton alu ferrules separately. Sometimes you can get the right diameter on pole sections or tubes and cut them into ferrules. I've never been unable to find the right size ferrule if I go with internal or external, whichever can be found in the right size.
Sam f.Oct 15, 2010 at 8:13 am #1654826
Thanks Sam- I was wondering about cutting chunks of tent pole, but it seems like it could be "interesting" to get them to match. Totally spaced on kite sites!Oct 17, 2010 at 9:55 pm #1655491

This lockout is the snooze button on a season that was coming too fast, especially since it's clear negotiations didn't "start" until the 11th hour, or not at all.

That was the slogan of this years MudTug competition overthe weekend. MudTug is an annual campus-wide tug-of-war competition put on bythe sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha and the brothers of Phi Kappa Psi, and is one ofthe LARGEST traditions on the RIT campus.
MudTug was first stared 14 years ago by a Zeta and a Phi Psibrother who were looking for an event that would reach all members of thecommunity and campus (the founders would later get married after their undergarduate years at RIT). The first MT was in September of '95,and raised over 18 hundred dollars towards the houses philanthropies. Today MT hasmorphed into a tradition notorious for dirty compeition and muddy morals … thispast weekends competition included over 85 teams and raised over $6,500 for theFisher House.

Avoiding Tragic Hot-Car Deaths
You can count on it. As spring turns to summer and temperatures outside start climbing, a child will die after being left in a hot car.
It happened recently in Dallas. A mother arrived at work, parked her car, grabbed her purse, locked the car and went into her workplace. She didn't see her baby asleep in the backseat.
When officers arrived about 6 hours later, they said she seemed truly surprised when they confronted her. She asked if her husband was ok or if something had happened to her baby at daycare. She was sure she had delivered her baby to daycare that morning up until the moment she was told her baby had died in her car.
Variations of this story play out across the country every year and children die because they are either intentionally or accidently left in a hot car.
Many people are shocked when they hear or read about something like this happening especially when a parent or caregiver simply forgot the child was with them or thought they had left the child with someone else. They wonder how could that possibly happen?
While there is no excuse for negligence, experts say that parents who are otherwise loving and attentive to their kids can forget that their child is in the car when they are super-focused on getting somewhere, distracted while driving, under tremendous strain or when taking their child to daycare is not part of their daily routine.
Another factor that may contribute to a parent's forgetfulness is rear-facing car seats. Originally intended to save lives, when the car seat is placed behind the drivers seat a parent may miss the visual cue of a child when glancing in the rear-view mirror. Children are usually pretty noisy when they are in the car, unless they fall asleep. The silence doesnt offer the sound cue that someone else is in the car.
Then there are the parents or caregivers who deliberately leave their child in the car when they run an errand. They often think that its easier and faster to leave them there, particularly if their child is asleep, get what they came for and get back to the car. They may even crack a window thinking that's enough to keep the car from getting too hot. It's not.
Heat coming into the car from a window is absorbed by the interior and the glass acts as an insulator. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 'a locked car sitting in the summer sun quickly turns into an oven,' and 'temperatures can climb from 78 degrees to 100 degrees in just three minutes, to 125 degrees in 6-8 minutes.'
But it doesn't have to be boiling outside for a car to heat up to a life threatening temperature; it just takes a few minutes longer.
While you may think you could never forget that your child is in the car it's still an excellent idea to get in the habit of setting visual cues as well as considering some of the new technology driven gadgets that can give you that extra peace of mind.
- First and foremost, always put your cell phone, purse, or briefcase, and anything else you'll need that day, on the floor of the backseat. When you retrieve it at the end of the ride, you'll notice your child.
- Keep a teddy bear or other stuffed animal in the car seat when it's empty. When you put your child in the seat, move the animal to the front passenger seat, to remind you that your baby's on board.
- Put the car seat on the passenger side of the back seat.
- Ask your child's babysitter or daycare provider to always phone you promptly if your child isn't dropped off as scheduled.
- Make a habit of always opening the back door of your car after you park, to check that there's no kid back there.
- Never assume someone else, such as a spouse or an older child, has taken a young kid out of her seat. Such miscommunication has led to more than a few hot-car deaths.
- Check online about child safety gadgets that can warn parents when theyve left a child in a car. There are even phone apps that will send you an alert.
- Put visual cues in your office and home. There are decals you can buy (or make yourself) that remind you to check the car seat.
- Never leave your child unattended in a car. Weather isn't the only factor when it comes to keeping your child safe from a dangerous outcome. A child left unattended in a parked car is vulnerable and easy prey for someone intent on doing harm.
If you see a child left unattended in a car- call 9-1-1. Don't worry about offending someone or anything other than making sure that the child is rescued - whether it's hot or not.
These types of articles and warnings go out every summer and yet children still die from being left in parked cars. More than any generation before, we are living in a multi-task, fast paced and distracting world. A lot of us are a little more forgetful than we used to be and anything you can do to slow yourself down and focus on your little one in the back seat of the car is a thing worth doing.

Laws help protect kids from sharing too much information online. But there's more that kids can do to stay safe when they use cell phones, computers, tablets and other devices.
For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From laptops and tablets to smartphones and game systems, a web of information and entertainment is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Center, about three out of four kids ages 12 to 13 access the Internet using a mobile device at least occasionally. Many younger kids are online too. But are Internet users being cautious enough?
Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from Wood-Ridge, New Jersey, uses his iPod Touch and his laptop to watch videos on YouTube and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his Web use and discuss Internet safety with him. "I ask my parents if something is suspicious," Julian says.
Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The data can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A 2010 study from the security company Norton found that 62% of children ages 8 to 17 have had a negative online experience.
The Privacy Rule
Have you ever had to enter a parent's e-mail address when signing up for a website? That safety net is there because of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent's permission.
This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created, in 1998—when YouTube and smartphones didn't exist. "The nature of the way kids get online has changed," FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus told TFK.
When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under "personal information" to include videos, photographs and services that give user location. The update also aims to improve the ways parents are notified about privacy policies.
COPPA doesn't cover everything that can go wrong online. That's why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online (see "Protection Plan").
"There is a misconception that if a site is following COPPA and getting parental consent, it is totally safe," says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs kidSAFE, which checks for safety features such as whether a chat room is monitored. If the site meets kidSAFE standards, it gets a seal of approval.
Julian's brother Josh, 14, is a member of Teenangels. Its volunteers are trained by WiredSafety, an online-safety information group. Teenangels spreads the word on how to be secure online. "Julian's been exposed to the Internet at a much earlier age than I was," Josh says. "It's important that kids know what a vast resource the Internet is but that it also can be abused if you are not careful."
Protection Plan
Here, experts offer tips about how to stay safe.
- Talk to a parent before giving personal information. Do not give your name, location, e-mail address or photo without knowing what the website plans to do with the data.
- Get a parent's permission before downloading an app or clicking on ads. Never click on suspicious links. If it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't true.
- Before using a website or app, research it and read its privacy policy. Sites like commonsensemedia.org offer reviews for kids and parents.
- Create strong passwords for all websites. The password should be easy to remember but hard to guess. Never share your user name and password with anyone except a parent or trusted adult.
- Use a lock password on all your devices so that someone can't access your private information if you lose the device.

He kept the secret to himself for as long as possible but eventually had to confide in a friend to help him dig up the silver. In time of course an argument ensued as to who got the larger cut and eventually the word got out. In 1546 the mining town was founded and swiftly grew to the largest American city. The pure silver deposit ran out over time and all that was left was ore so the economy began to die.
Today the mountain is still mined as the main source of income for many of the local families, sadly however the conditions that the children(as young as 10) and men still work under today have changed very little from those back when the mine was in its prime and under the control of the Spanish
So we donned our protective layers and bandannas to help keep some of the dust from entering our lungs and drove to the miners market in search of supplies such as plastic explosives, soft drinks and Coca leaves to present the miners that we would be visiting with in return for their stories before setting off to the base of the mountain.
At this time of the year the miners sacrifice llamas as an offering to bring good luck and prosperity to those working deep in the mines. The blood is then smeared all over the entrance to the mine and the carcasses are then buried nearby.
So we began walking under the blood covered archway leading into the darkness occasionally avoiding the many empty and full barrows of ore moving backwards and forwards from the depths towards the light and back again we eventually came to the miners museum which lists the history of the mines and holds the first of many statues of El Tio(the uncle). These statues are in fact shrines to the devil as the workers of the mines who worship many different gods believe that if God created the earth above and looks after it then whoever created this "Hell" that they work in must be the Devil and before being able to remove his deposits of ore they must make offerings such as Coca leaves and cigarettes to him for their own safety
Our Guide Pedro had worked in the mines from the age of 10 to 15 before he was given the rare opportunity to become a tour leader and leave the daily life down below the surface but, many of his friends still toil underground for many of the different firms there. Some of the bigger companies use new methods of mining including pneumatic tools and winches to lift ore up to the surface but more often than not the men use slow and tedious manual labor to scratch out their livings and support their families.
The deeper into the mine we crawled the hotter and more pungent the air became, making it increasingly difficult to breath. I could literally taste the air I was breathing in when I reached the 4th level to observe men hand winching bags from the lower levels of the mine.
Every group or individual miner we encountered on the way was given gifts of either Dynamite or soft drinks or Coca purchased in town before our arrival. The miners never eat in the mine instead they simply chew Coca leaves which suppress the appetite and allow them to stay under ground for longer without spending any money while there... The coca leaves also help breathing in these awful conditions and so were used by us just to keep us down there! On ascending to the surface the change in temperature became even more obvious and the closer to the entrance we got the colder and colder it became till we were finally back in the sunlight. Once back up top we were shown a demonstration of the dynamite we had bought and had an opportunity to chat with more of the miners.
The green Bolivian plastic explosive is unwrapped and rolled into a ball that the fuse can be pushed inside before placing the entire lot inside a bag of fertiliser and being lit. the full package then produces a powerful explosion which, if built inside a hole in the rock is capable of producing considerable damage and releasing a lot of rocky ore form the mine.
Today was a truly revealing insight into the conditions still endured by the poor inhabitants of third world countries desperately striving to survive against all the odds. I will never look at jewelery in the same way again especially when knowing that a lot of it is founded from the ore shipped out of Bolivia to be smelted in many other countries the world over.

The simplest kind of counting is based on tally marks. Start with a blank sheet of paper. For each object to be counted, make a mark on the page. When you're finished, the number of marks should match the number of objects.
This kind of counting is surely ancient, but it was given a formal, axiomatic basis just a century ago by the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano. Peano's scheme of arithmetic begins by postulating the existence of the number zero, or 0. The next number is defined as the successor of zero, written S(0). Next comes the successor of the successor of zero, or S(S(0)), then S(S(S(0))), and so on. Continuing in this long-winded way, you can count as high as you please; it's just a matter of applying the same rule over and over.
Peano's axioms belong to the ideal world of Platonic mathematics—the same world where geometric points are dimensionless, circles are perfectly round, and lines run straight and true to infinity. In that empyrean realm, chad are never hanging, and every count is full, fair and accurate. But that's not the world we live and count in.
When considering the causes of counting errors, it's helpful to have in mind a specific counting machine. A Peano counter might be a box with a long row of light bulbs on the front panel. Events to be counted enter the machine via a single input port; the input could be a wire, and the events pulses of voltage. The light bulbs are the machine's output. Initially, all the bulbs are dark. Each time an event is recorded, a bulb turns on—and thereafter stays on forever—so that the number of lit bulbs represents the number of events counted.
Such a machine could have many modes of failure. For example, a bulb could burn out, or a fuse could blow. Here I shall focus on one specific type of error: the possibility that a count fails to register. That is, a pulse arrives at the input, but no bulb lights up in response; the input is ignored, and the state of the machine remains unchanged. Such lost counts are assumed to be random and uncorrelated accidents, so that the machine operates probabilistically. If the counter is in state R when a pulse arrives, it moves to the correct successor state S(R) with probability p, and it stays in state R with probability 1–p.
The basic mathematical properties of the probabilistic Peano counter are easy to describe. Because events can get lost but extra events are never introduced, the registered count R must always be less than or equal to the true count N. Also, the successive values of R must form a nondecreasing sequence: The counter can never run backwards. In any long series of counting trials, the mean value of R should be equal to pN. For example, with p = 0.75, a stream of 100 events will register 75 counts on the average. The extent to which individual results depart from the mean can also be measured statistically. The standard deviation of the distribution is proportional to the square root of p(1–p); thus the results are scattered most widely when p is 1/2, and the distribution gets narrower as p approaches either 0 or 1.
In a Peano counter with given values of N and p, you can easily gauge the probability of observing any value of R. However, predicting R when you know N is seldom what you want to do. More often, you are given R and you want to estimate N; that is, you know the tally announced by the county canvassing board, and you want to estimate how many votes were actually cast for each candidate. This inverse problem is subtler, especially when you don't know p. But if you can count the same set of objects many times, you can learn the shape of the distribution; then, the mean and the width yield an estimate of N.

text: I have told the forum that I would post pics of the Husky Liners Gearbox Underseat Storage. I paid $105 shipped for mine from Amazon. THe only downside is that the only color is black, I wish it would have come in tan, oh well I got it at a good price. I know I don't have it fully utilized, but I will fill it with some more stuff.


text: I installed the Apex Sear and the FPB on my M&P 9C. Amazing results! Trigger weight circa 5.5 lbs, better reset, less over travel and no grit. Excellent product, well worth the price and easy to install. I highly recommend APEX for any M&P owner, particularly for MA residents. Killer customer service to boot!

CYTOTEC (MISOPROSTOL) ADMINISTRATION TO WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT CAN CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, ABORTION, OR PREMATURE BIRTH. UTERINE RUPTURE HAS BEEN REPORTED WHEN CYTOTEC WAS ADMINISTERED IN PREGNANT WOMEN TO INDUCE LABOR OR TO INDUCE ABORTION BEYOND THE EIGHTH WEEK OF PREGNANCY (see also PRECAUTIONS and LABOR AND DELIVERY). CYTOTEC SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN BY PREGNANT WOMEN TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ULCERS INDUCED BY NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDs) (see CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS, and PRECAUTIONS).
Cytotec should not be used for reducing the risk of NSAID-induced ulcers in women of childbearing potential unless the patient is at high risk of complications from gastric ulcers associated with use of the NSAID, or is at high risk of developing gastric ulceration. In such patients, Cytotec may be prescribed if the patient
- has had a negative serum pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to beginning therapy.
- is capable of complying with effective contraceptive measures.
- has received both oral and written warnings of the hazards of misoprostol, the risk of possible contraception failure, and the danger to other women of childbearing potential should the drug be taken by mistake.
- will begin Cytotec only on the second or third day of the next normal menstrual period.
Cytotec oral tablets contain either 100 mcg or 200 mcg of misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog.
Misoprostol contains approximately equal amounts of the two diastereomers presented below with their enantiomers indicated by (±):
Misoprostol is a water-soluble, viscous liquid.
Inactive ingredients of tablets are hydrogenated castor oil, hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium starch glycolate.

It's the same every year. As soon as the programme for the Auckland Writers & Readers Festival lands on my desk I grab a pen and start vigorously circling like a crazed figure skater, until I'm left wondering how I can possibly fit it all in.
Since the programme was released this week, Bronwyn and I have whittled down the dozens of events on offer to our top six picks. Tickets are now on sale for the festival, which will be held at the Aotea Centre (and a couple of other Auckland venues) from May 9 to 13.
New Zealand Listener Gala Night
The festival kicks off with an unusual twist on the craft of writing - those who usually draft and re-draft in isolation, will instead engage in an evening of live and unscripted true storytelling. A panel of eight well-known writers including Roddy Doyle, Arts Foundation laureate Kate de Goldi and Eoin Colfer, (creator of children's book phenomenon Artemis Fowl), will tell tales inspired by the theme of "What the Dickens?" from Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor. A popular event last year, this should get the festival off to a lively, entertaining and glitzy start.
Thurs 10 May, 7pm to 8.30pm, Aotea Centre, $35 to $40, discounts for students and patrons.
A Train in Winter: Caroline Moorhead
This book featured in our hot books for September 2011 and tells the story of 230 women deported from France to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1943, of whom only 49 survived. Moorhead is a journalist and biographer, and will talk about the art of biography and some of her powerful subjects from Freya Stark to Martha Gellhorn and the women of Convoi 31000.
Friday 11 May, 10am to 11am, Aotea Centre, $20 to $25, discounts for patrons and students.
Charlotte Wood is hot stuff across the Tasman, where she is known not just for her bestselling fiction, but also for her food writing. Her most recent novel is Animal People, the funny-yet-oh- so-painful day in the life of Stephen, a hapless fast food attendant who just can't seem to get it together. Wood is an astute observer of the human condition and a brilliant satirist on modern urban life.
Friday 11 May, 4pm to 5pm, Aotea Centre, $20 to $25, discounts for students and patrons.
Artemis Fowl and the Deltora Three
Fun, fantasy and storytelling abound in this session for young readers featuring Eoin Colfer, creator of the enormously popular Artemis Fowl series, and Emily Rodda, author of the Deltora Quest series. The discussion will be chaired by Kate De Goldi, and is suitable for both adults and kids.
Friday 11 May, 5.30 to 6.30pm, Aotea Centre $20 to $25, $12.50 for students.
The star of the Friday evening is Irish writer, dramatist and screenwriter Roddy Doyle. He may be best known for his novel The Commitments which was made into a popular film of the same name, and his fourth novel Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha was awarded the Booker Prize in 1993. His latest short story collection Bullfighting tells more tales of ordinary middle-aged Dubliners and is sure to be funnier and even more compelling when read in Doyle's accent, followed by conversation with Brian Edwards.
Friday 11 May, 7pm to 8.15pm, Aotea Centre, $35 to $40, discounts for students and patrons.
Small Holes in the Silence : A tribute to Hone Tuwhare
The title of this session comes from the poem Bronwyn declares the most delicious distillation of words from the English language: Hone Tuwhare's Rain. In this tribute to the late, much-loved poet, a distinguished panel of poet laureate Jacq Carter, Anne Kennedy, Gregory O'Brien, Rob Tuwhare and Albert Wendt will read one of Tuwhare's poems, one of their own and one of a co-presenter.
Saturday 12 May, 4pm to 5pm, Aotea Centre, Free
The worth and relevance of literary prizes is always a hot topic among booklovers and the big drawcard here is Dame Stella Rimington, chair of the 2011 Man Booker Prize judges. Rimington caused a literary outcry when she famously declared that she wanted people to "buy [the short listed] books and read them, not buy these books and admire them", leading to the establishment of a rival award The Literature Prize, in protest. Hear what Rimington has to say in this free panel discussion with Stephen Stratford, Jenny Pattrick and Chair of the NZ Post Book Awards Governance Committee Sam Elworthy.
Sunday 13 May, 4pm to 7pm, Aotea Centre, Free
On a final note, next week is the last week to redeem the New Zealand Book Month $5 discount coupons at participating book shops. You can download your coupon here.

I'm so jealous. I haven't received any squishy yet.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'm so jealous. I haven't received any squishy yet.
Got pretty red, white and blue fabric from a wilson today.
Never look down on anyone, unless you are helping them up.
Received F8 from awilson, dotcomdtcm and theMamaHauser.
For those of you that are mailing more than 1 item to the same person, it is cheaper to send 1 item/envelope, rather than 2 or more items/ envelope. This is what I have found out from a swap that I have been in before.
I have my patterns picked out so now off to select fabric to go with them.
Dreaming of New England while being stuck in So. Calif.(the asphalt jungle of the world.) But hey the Happiest Place on Earth is here.
got 2 F8's today, one from dotcomdtcm & awilson
Live, Laugh & Love, for tomorrow may never come.
got 3 F8's today, one from dotcomdtcm , awilson, and mamahauser.
Today I rec'd fabric from Awilson and Dotcomdtcm.
Mischief Managed.
Yeah, I got 3 packages today -- 1 from awilson, dotcomdtcm, & TheMamaHauser. My brain is starting to work and hopefully will come up withsome great ideas. Keep them coming & mine will go out early this coming week.

TORRINGTON >> The art work of local students and their art teachers will collide in Artwell's annual showcase, Artucation, set to open this Saturday.
While it hasn't always been called Artucation, the gallery has put on a teacher-student show on and off for 10 years, said Artwell Executive Director, Michael Yurgeles.
The Artucation opening reception will run from 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday. The show will close on May 12.
Torrington High School art teacher Victor Leger has been in charge of organizing the show for several years.
"It has always been my baby," Leger said. "This is a show that's different than any other I've heard of. Students get the opportunity to see the work of their art teachers."
Leger, who has been an Artwell member for the last decade, said the process begins with his list of 25 to 30 local art teachers. He sends out a message asking them to participate.
Teachers from public, private and charter schools are welcome to submit the work of their students, said Leger. The show can feature the work of students from pre-kindergarten age through 12th grade.
"I try to keep it wide open," Leger said of the show. "I don't want to keep limits on anyone."
That limitless theme extends to the kind of work that can be submitted and the number of pieces each teacher can select of their students.
Leger organizes the show, but it is up to the art teachers to do most of the work. The individual teachers get to select which work of their students will be on display. They must bring the work to Artwell during the set up time, Friday from 2 to 5 p.m., label and hang the work themselves, said Yurgeles.
Out of the 25 to 30 local teachers invited to participate, Leger said he expects between six and nine teachers to actually bring work for display.
The salon-style show will feature work from floor to ceiling.
"You can fit a lot of work on the walls," said Leger. "Most teachers bring between 10 and 20 pieces."
Leger said he will have a piece or two in the show himself and he is bringing the work of about 12 THS students.
"It's whatever is reasonable," Yurgeles said of the total number of works to be displayed in the showcase.
Teachers are not required to pre-register with Leger before the event.
"It's always a surprise who shows up," said Leger. "I try to keep it as loose as possible - no stress."
Leger said he has no expectations of how many people will show up for the reception. Some years there has been low attendance but last year was a major success.
"Last year was the largest attended reception at Artwell all year," said Leger. "We had about 150 people walking around. A lot of the kids bring their parents."
"I think it's a fabulous idea, to give students the opportunity to show their work with their mentors," said Judy McElhone, executive director Five Points Gallery and art professor at Northwest Connecticut Community College. "It's a service to the community as a whole."
Leger enjoys organizing the show for a similar reason.
"It's an opportunity for young people to see how a professional gallery works and see their work hung there," said Leger.
The reception is free and open to the public.

It's time for him to retire. Give our young LB'S a chance.
It's time for him to retire. Give our young LB'S a chance.
And yea take into mind I'm talking about if wee can get him on the cheap, i know he's 35
One year deal with incentives on games played then the risk is worth it.
I'd absolutely try him out if he signs at a rate that does not affect our ability to keep other players.
Urlacher might be better than anything LB on the roster.. but his injuries / age is an issue
We need to develop a MLB for the future.. No more stopgaps! Give me Bruce Taylor in the 5th round or ogletree or even greene

I had already decided to do this almost exactly as you put it down. You saved me the trouble of writeing up my plan as I can just print yours out. Yes I like to have solid plans and I know the bees will try to break me from that but, I know plans have to be adjusted so the bees and I can come to an understanding.
I picked up my wood today and start making my woodenware this weekend. Can't wait for spring. Don't even have bees yet and I'm already hooked just from all the studying I've been doing over the last few months. My GF told me today that she hasn't seen me so excited about anything in years .

About the Author
Born in California in 1953 and raised in Ohio, David gravitated toward music as a primary interest and attended Oberlin Conservatory of Music, with a scholarship in classical flute. From there he branched into folk and world music specializing in Celtic and Appalachian ballads and dance music, and North Indian bansuri. He owned a music store in Bloomington, Indiana and performed locally for dances, at festivals, and for school assemblies.
David's interest in Tibetan language sprang out of his own spiritual quest. Having learned about religion in the liberal atmosphere of the Unitarian-Universalist church, he had developed some of his own questions about reasons for the world's suffering. In 1981 he went to India, first studying and playing in Indian films for a year, then moving to Dharamsala, where he taught at the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts. Hearing Buddhist teachings translated from Tibetan at the Library of Works and Archives, he was deeply impressed and moved by the teachings, and the compassion, patience and good humor embodied in its resident Lama, Venerable Geshe Ngawang Dhargye. David decided to become a Buddhist and took refuge with the Venerable Geshe. Out of an aspiration to understand and communicate with the lamas directly, David began to study Tibetan language. Seeking an insider's view of the practice, from 1985-89, he studied and interpreted for classes on the scriptures and monastic textbooks at Venerable Geshe Rabten's Institute for Higher Tibetan Studies in Mont Pelèrin, Switzerland. Subjects included beginning through advanced collected topics, mind and mental factors, tenet systems, paths and stages, signs and reasoning, and Abhisamayalankara. He did a musical translation of the Prayer of the Words of Truth, a prayer for world peace and the wellbeing of Tibet composed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, which he offered to His Holiness with a large chorus in Zurich during His Holiness's visit and teachings there. Since then, David has had the continued opportunity to translate for many lamas of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. He has toured nationwide with Drepung Loseling Monastery introducing performances and interpreting. It has also been his good fortune to interpret for Venerable Dr. Yeshi Dhonden, previous personal physician of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Who doesn't love a crunchy fried shrimp? This version takes virtually fat-free shrimp out of the deep fryer and pan-fries them in a little bit of oil instead. With 9 grams of total fat and 213 calories per serving, you can feel good about enjoying them.

Serves 4
Prep Time 20 min
Total Time 20 min.
Step 1
Whisk beer, flour, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
Step 2
You'll need to cook the shrimp in two batches. Wait to batter the second batch until the first is cooked. For the first batch, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Hold shrimp by the tail and dip in the batter one at a time. Let any excess batter drip off, then add the shrimp to the hot oil, making sure they aren't touching. Cook, turning once and adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning, until golden brown on the outside and curled, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to a platter.
Step 3
Wipe out the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and heat over medium-high. Batter and fry the remaining shrimp. Season all the shrimp with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Rating out of 10: Food: 7, Service: 8, Value: 8, Ambience: 7
Oh, the excitement. There was going to be a bar opening in Sandringham, one that we could honestly call our local.
And, in 2011, in a space previously occupied by what was universally believed to have been a brothel, Prague opened its doors.
It's not a large space. In fact, it's almost miniscule. In the dining area, there is room for but six diners, and they should be good friends. If they're not already, they will be after the meal is over.
The bar has a few tables and leaners, and a similar number in the outdoor covered area facing on to Sandringham Rd. This is a spot coveted by smokers, but loud voices and warm clothing are necessities.
And, just to maximise the space available to them, there are tables and chairs along the Haverstock Rd frontage.
But it's warm and friendly inside and a good place to catch up with other locals.
We had booked this early week-night, which, given the size of the dining room, was a jolly good idea. It was also nice to discover that on Monday nights Prague offers $15 mains, with some exceptions, so we were happy to take advantage of this.
The tapas menu also serves as the entrees list, so bread and dips, olives and the salt and pepper calamari seemed a good a place to start.
Andrew also ordered pork belly squares with cream and mustard sauce and crostini, and was well pleased, the pork belly cooked to perfection.
I found the calamari a little chewy for my liking, although Julie was satisfied with the texture. The olives and dips were quite adequate.
Andrew tends to head for meaty dishes when dining out, and his sirloin steak was cooked exactly to his liking, tender and flavoursome. The chips (yes, steak and chips and salad, and what's wrong with that?) were excellent, crisp on the outside and fluffy where it mattered.
Julie's pasta of the day was salmon and pesto. It was so good that she took the remainder home for lunch the next day. I was less pleased with the warm lamb salad, the meat again a little chewy, but the flavours were well-judged.
Bill's seafood marinara special was fine but lacked any sort of wow factor.
We finished by sharing some very sweet but rather greasy churros with chocolate dipping
Even though the name is bemusing - there doesn't seem to be any reference to the Czech Republic in food or beverage - Prague is a great wee spot for a drink or a meal.
There have been whispers of some unevenness in service but the night we were there it was very satisfactory. Welcome to the 'hood, Czech mate.

Chicken and Dumplings
This comfort-food recipe combines chicken thighs, plump dumplings, and plenty of vegetables for a meal that's warm and filling. These chicken and dumplings are ready in about an hour, so try them for a weekend meal.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, April 2006
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 5 medium carrots, cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup (spooned and leveled) all-purpose flour
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, or 3/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas
In a Dutch oven (or a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid), heat butter over medium. Add onion, carrots, and thyme. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.Watch: How to Chop an Onion
Add 1/4 cup flour and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add broth and bring to a boil, stirring constantly; season with salt and pepper. Nestle chicken in pot; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.Watch: How to Measure Flour
Meanwhile, make dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining 3/4 cup flour, dill, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. With a fork, gradually stir in 1/2 cup milk to form a moist and soft batter. It should be just a little thicker than pancake batter and should easily drop from the tip of a spoon. (Add additional 2 tablespoons milk if too thick.) Set aside.
Stir peas into pot. Drop batter in simmering liquid in 10 heaping tablespoonfuls, keeping them spaced apart (dumplings will swell as they cook). Cover, and simmer until chicken is tender and dumplings are firm, 20 minutes. Serve.

BATON ROUGE — Five longtime coaches, a coach/administrator, a competitor, and an official highlight an outstanding group of individuals who will be inducted into the 2014 class of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association/Louisiana High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
This year's class of Opelousas High's Larry Dauterive, Welsh High's Marion Dutton Wall, Woodlawn High of Shreveport's A.L. Williams, Vidalia High's Dalton "Dee" Faircloth, Buckeye's C.G. "Corky" Yates, Jennings High's Danny Ray Miller, St. Amant's Leigh Michelle Heintze and Sarepta High's James R. Boyett not only left an indelible impression on their state, respective sports, individual schools and communities but drew nationwide acclaim as well.
The four football coaches — Dauterive, Wall, Williams, and Faircloth — coached a combined 1,250 football games and had a 167 years of combined head coaching experience.
Miller, became Louisiana's all-time winningest five-on-five basketball coach with 854 wins compiled during a brilliant 33-year career in Southwest Louisiana. Yates, whose career spanned more than 53 years, began as a four-sport competitor, continued as a highly successful high school football, basketball and golf coach and then concluded as a respected and admired administrator.
Heintze dominated Class 5A softball during her four-year stint and Boyett officiated hundreds of basketball and baseball games as well as numerous tournaments during a 38-year career.
The induction ceremony-banquet is set for 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 29 at the Crown Plaza in Baton Rouge. The ceremony will be held in conjunction with the LHSAA's annual convention, which will take place Jan. 29-31.
Wall's 38-year coaching career got its start at Ville Platte High School in 1962 as head coach in basketball and baseball as well as an assistant in football, but he is best known for his football teams and track squads.
In 438 games at five schools, including two stints at Ville Platte and Welsh, Wall's football teams compiled a 274-160-2 record (a 638 winning percentage), captured 14 district championships and finished as Class 2A state runners-up three times (1973, 1989, 1992).
From 1983 to 2001, track teams at Welsh won 11 district championships. Additionally, three Wall-coached girls' basketball teams, also, at Welsh were able to capture three consecutive district crowns (1977-1979).
In addition to being named District Coach of the Year in football, track and girls' basketball numerous times, Wall was also chosen as the Lake Charles American Press' Southwest Louisiana Coach of the Year three times (1981, 1989, 1992).
The Louisiana Sports Writers Association selected him as 2A Coach of the Year three times — twice while he was head coach of Welsh (1989, 1992) and once while he was head coach of Sacred Heart of Ville Platte (2005). The LSWA also presented Wall with the prestigious Casey Kozminski Award in 1994.
Miller was no stranger to success.
Over the course of his 33-year coaching career, Miller not only coached girls basketball but also girls track, volleyball and boys and girls cross country. But it was on the hard court that he is probably best known.
He started at Jennings, where he coached for 14 years, spent another nine at Iota, had four-year stays at Elton and Grand Lake. When he finally did step away from coaching, it was as Louisiana's all-time winningest girls five-on-five coach with 854 wins.
He won 21 district championships, three state championships — two in AAA (1988 and 1989) and two in 2A (1992), finished state runners-up in 2A (1994), and finished as an honorable mention selection on the USA Today's Girls Basketball Top 25 in 1988.
His track team at Jennings won the AAA state championship in 1980 while his squad at Elton finished as the 2A state runners-up in 2002. He also led the Jennings volleyball team to its first district title in 1983 and won another in 1984.
Miller's coaching success also brought him numerous honors, including being selected as district coach of the year 18 times, being voted as the LSWA's AAA Girls Basketball Coach of the Year (1982, 1988, 1989) and AA Girls Coach of the Year (1992 and 1988). He was nominated by the LHSAA for National High School Coach of the Year in 1990.
He was chosen as the All-Acadiana Coach of the Year five times (1992, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999) and was additional named as the Louisiana High School Basketball Coaches Association Southwest Coach of the Year twice (1992, 1994).
