On October 26, 2013, the Order of Knights of Pythias of New York rededicated the monument to Peter Woodland, a Hudson River Tunnel worker, buried in Bayview-New York Bay Cemetery at Garfield and Chapel Avenues. A Pythian, Woodland saved the lives of eight men with whom he was working 60 feet below the Hudson River. He had noticed gushing water from a break through the brick tunnel and guided them to the safety of the air chamber and closed the door. Woodland stayed behind in the compartment with nineteen other workers. Water and silt rose to drown Woodland and nineteen other trapped "sandhogs," as these miners were called, in what was referred to as a "blowout" (escaping air) from the opening. He died while saving the lives of his fellow workers.
In 1871, Col. DeWitt C. Haskins, president of the Hudson Tunnel Railroad Company, attempted the construction of a Hudson River tunnel, later known as the "Tubes" constructed by the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad. The tragic event on July 21, 1880, temporarily disbanded the project. Peter Woodland, superintendent of operations, was working on the tunnel in a pressurized compartment when the grand archway of the working shaft at the foot of 15th Street, Jersey City, (Pier No. 9) collapsed at approximate 4:30 a.m.
The Knights of Pythias raised funds for the burial and monument for Woodland. A statue of Woodland stood atop the engraved stone that reads: "Erected by the Order of Knights of Pythias in memory of Brother Peter Woodland, of Hector Lodge No. 49, of Philadelphia, Pa., who was killed at the disaster at the Hudson River Tunnel, Wednesday, July 21, 1880, aged 32 years. He sacrificed his life that others might live." Woodland lived at 158 Pavonia Avenue and left behind a wife and daughter.
The tunnel was later completed by William Gibbs McAdoo in 1908 and opened as the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad. Popularly known as the Hudson Tubes for many years, the railroad and train tunnels were acquired by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1962 and the line later became known as the PATH transportation system.
Over the years the memorial was subject to vandalism and neglect. In 2009 a group of New York Pythians organized the Woodland Monument Refurbishment Fund for the memorial's restoration. They raised money from donations and the sale of commemorative coins. In the first phase of the renovation, the monument was remounted on a concrete platform. In the next phase, the restored statue of Woodland will be placed on the platform next to the monument to avert further damage.
Woodland's heroism is also memorialized by the Massachusetts Knights of Pythias in Lynn, MA, with the naming of the Peter Woodland Lodge #72,

text: Every few years or months or weeks Alec Baldwin says in the media that he is quitting public life. I think it all started back in 2000 when he swore to the world that he was going to move from the United States if George Bush were elected President. I guess he decided to stay. He threatens to quit Twitter every few months and then comes back because he likes to hear himself. After an incident on American Airlines where he got in trouble for playing a game he said he was finished with public life. Then Capital One figured out a new ad strategy and Alec was back on board. Nothing like a buck or two to get him to change his mind. This time he says he means it and is finished with public life. At this point I kind of wish he would be but he isn't. His ego is way too big to ever let himself fade from public life. All he has to do is look at his siblings who are a prime example of what happens when you do something that gets you out of the loop and how relevance can be very fleeting. A month from now nothing will have changed but Alec will have dominated the headlines for a day or two which is what he wants. He loves when people talk about him and his wife loves it even more.

Perhaps considered the father of adaptive reuse, Charles Darwin said, "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, ... it is the one that is the most adaptable to change." As we experience this recession—which is deeper than any I have witnessed before—I consider Darwin's way of thinking similar to using a solar-powered flashlight to illuminate my way through the darkness.
Although we may know why we should change (to survive the downturn in the economy, to lessen our impact on the environment, and to ensure we have a profession to practice), do we agree on what we should change? Our lists may look different, but I offer mine as simply a place to begin a conversation about our profession...

Have you tried no password?
Hi, i've been using backtrack for quite a while but i've enconuntered a problem that i can't seem to solve.
I am trying to connect to my PC (Asus/Vista Home Premium SP1) throught the NETBIOS by using:
but it then immediatly asks me for a password:Code:smbclient //ASUSGAME-PC/C$ -I 172.18.2.103
But my computer has no password, i have not set up any password. Is there a default password that im unaware of. I've tried a bunch of passwords (default,password,admin,etc.) but to no avail.Code:Enter root's password:
If anybody has any idea about this I'd be mighty glad.
Have you tried no password?
if it is looking for the root password isnt that the defaults for ubuntu when installed?
default username : root
default password: toor
No password and a username of root? I'd lay good odds that doesn't work. Now if you told smbclient to try connecting as a different user perhaps...
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
Create user name and set a password on your WINbox, and this is how i connect to Win7
smbmount //IP/SHARENAME /mnt/WIN7 -o user=username
First of all, SMB uses backslashes, not forward slashes.
Try \\IP\share.
Next, Windows doesn't allow system shares (C$, IPC$ etc) to be mounted/connected with a blanc password. You'll need to give your account a (simple if you like) password.
If you don't know your useraccount name, try going to the C:\documents and settings\ (WXP) or the C:\Users (Win7) folder and see if you have an account next to "All Users". Most likely you login with administrator and a blank password.

Millennium Pow Day
By Kelly
from Kelly
Comments about Atomic Millennium Skis - Women's 2013:
Good ski for cruising around the mountain with varying conditions. Great for groomers, decent in crud, good in Powder. Felt stiff enough to shred through heavy powder, but also forgiving. Would be a decent all mountain ski for intermediate to advance skiers. Overall really enjoyed it and it is smaller than what I normally ski.

if you could only have one ski... pick t
By carly
from seattle, wa
Essentially the Atomic Blog with a women's topsheet the Atomic Millenium is awesome. The Millenium feels really responsive because of the camber underfoot but is still playful and loose because of the rocker in the tip and tail. I mostly ski in the Northwest and if I could only pick one ski I would pick this one. The Millenium is much lighter than what I'm used to (K2 Hellbent) but not so light that it squirms all over the place. The lighter weight makes hiking much nicer :) Overall a great ski and definitely my favorite from Atomic! I love how this ski is responsive and will carve a turn because of the camber underfoot but still feels playful and loose with the tip and tail rocker. I ski predominately in the Pacific Northwest and I am happy on this ski in 99% of the conditions here. The tops of the tips tend to chip a little bit but it doesn't effect the way the ski skis.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Powder Ski
By outdoor girl
from enterprise, or
About Me Expert
I have been super happy with this purchase. I use them as a backcountry set up with dynafit bindings and couldn't be happier. They are not too heavy for the backcountry. Luckily we had some great snow storms in March and was able to ski deep powder days on them. They just shine. The float over everything, turn well, and quite responsive. They do like an aggressive stance. A bit chattery on icy conditions but I didn't purchase them for that. I would definitely recommend them if you are a hard charger and for powder days. They truly shine.
Atomic Millennium

After hearing so many great things about the Atomic Blog, I was really excited to check out their new women's version. As soon as I started skiing, I realized I was in for a super fun run. The Millenium is really stable and playful. All I could do was smile after taking these out, loved this ski and would definitely recommend it those looking for a great all mountain ski.
Atomic Millenium 177cm
By Rachel
from Mission Ridge, WA
I was very excited to hear that Atomic was coming out with a women's version of the Blog, called the "Millenium." Prior to this ski, I don't think Atomic really catered to the audience of aggressive female skiers. I have been told the ski is identical to the Blog (aside from the girly top sheet). While the ski was soft, I felt it handled very well on steep, groomed terrain, because of the camber that runs through a majority of the ski. There is also a considerable amount of tip rocker, which I can see providing a lot of float when the snow is good. The 110mm waist is a really versatile, fun width for an advanced skier looking to get away from the groomed.
GREAT SKI! I absolutely love it!

I haven't tried these yet as it is summer, but am pretty excited to give them a try this season. Not sure yet if I will use them with my backcountry set-up as they are a bit heavier than I expected.

About Me Intermediate
Got these skis as a birthday present this year and got to debut them on a 24" powder day at Copper Mountain this February. I was pleasantly surprised at the float and control I had, and two days later when I was skiing them on the hard pack and moguls I still had great control and carving ability. 5 stars!

You realize you don't know how to make pot roast, which seems like an essential dish.
What to do
Oven-roast, a dry-cooking method for a large piece of meat.
Poultry can be seasoned inside and out, but a roast requires abundant external seasoning for the flavor to penetrate. Coat the meat with something "sticky" — olive oil, mustard, garlic paste, or a combination — and load it with seasoning (dried herbs, spices, salt and pepper). To build flavor and texture, brown in a hot oven (about 450 degrees) until crust forms, maybe 15 minutes, then roast at reduced heat (at least 100 degrees lower) until meat hits the desired internal temperature. Rest for at least 5 minutes per pound before carving.
A lot of people are coming over.
What to do
Braise brisket. Braising is a cooking technique designed to tenderize the tough. It requires a heavy ovenproof pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Brown the meat in fat, like a puddle of olive oil. Add enough aromatic liquid (stock and beer or wine) to come about one third of the way up the meat and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low heat on the stovetop, or in an oven that is preheated to a low temperature, until tender, typically a couple hours.

Inflation Isn't Cooperating With the Fed: The Federal Reserve can't catch a break on the inflation numbers, which are simply not helping in its drive to normalize monetary policy.
Monetary policy makers have three possible responses to the weak inflation data. First, they can define down the extent of an acceptable miss on their target. Second, they can dismiss the numbers as transitory and focus instead on full employment. Third, they can rethink their estimates of full employment and the subsequent implications for the path of interest rates… Continue reading at Bloomberg Prophets…

But he had now been dismissed from it, not by academical, but by political agencies.
No echo of the German ultimatum to Russia penetrated that academical peace.
I have always found myself,' says Fitzjames, in reference to his academical career, 'one of the most unteachable of human beings.
That is the result of academical work, in the hands of a vulgar person.
But independently of all academical objects, you cannot help feeling satisfied that time so employed, is employed well and wisely.
It was the centre of the academical and ecclesiastical life of the place.
Indeed the President points out, by examples from Raffaelle, the good effect of setting aside these academical rules.
He is academical like the others, but not half so good a speaker.

Greeneville, Tenn. - A last-second shot attempt by BC's Taylor Hiatt rimmed out as time expired Saturday afternoon in Pioneer Arena, allowing Tusculum to escape with a 61-60 victory .
The Brevard College women's basketball team had nearly erased a seven-point deficit in the final 1:36 after Shelby Wolfe's baseline jumper brought the Tornados to within a point with 18 seconds left.
The Tornados scored eight of the game's final 10 points and had a chance to pick up their first-ever win against the Pioneers in 11 meetings.
Tuccoa Brackett poured in a game-high 20 points for the Tornados, while Michaela Watkins had 18 points, five rebounds and five assists. Wolfe added 11 points and six boards.
Tusculum led 50-35 with 8:45 left, but the Tornados went on a 12-1 run to pull within 51-47 on a layup by Watkins with 4:34 to go. A TC basket with 3:04 remaining put the Pioneers up by seven, but three-pointers by Watkins and Brackett brought the Tornados within 59-55 with 1:16 to go.
Watkins came up with a steal and was fouled on a breakaway layup with 46.3 seconds to go, and finished the three-point play to cut the Tusculum lead to 59-58. Tusculum responded with a bucket with 27.1 seconds remaining to take a 61-58 lead before the Wolfe jumpshot.
The Pioneers used a 16-0 run that turned a 22-20 deficit into a 36-22 lead in the first half, eventually taking a 36-24 lead at halftime. Brackett led all scorers with 12 points in the first half.
The Pioneers built their lead to 15 three times in the second half before Brevard mounted its late comeback attempt.
The Tornados return home to take on the Catawba College Indians Wednesday night in Boshamer Gymnasium. The Indians took the first match-up 64-46 in Goodman Gymn on January 9th.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Galarama
This has its own page, but we wanted to talk to y'all about it in a more intimate blog setting.
From day one, we wanted to use this conference as a way to funnel some funds into the hands of animal sanctuaries. We've done that by devoting 5% of all registration fees to sanctuaries, and we're holding a Silent Auction as part of our Saturday night celebration. We've chosen Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary as the beneficiary of that Silent Auction. (We're also peeling off a bit of the Galarama ticket price for them.) We're so excited to have them, and we're happy to say Woodstock Co-Founder and Director Jenny Brown will be with us to talk to you about their mission.
We hope you can all join us. Conference speakers and registrants are already on our door list—you get in free! Our venue, Ambridge Event Center, is a pretty decent size, so we have opened it up to the public. Registrants, if you're traveling with a buddy, you can purchase a ticket for them here. (That goes for you folks who didn't get into the conference, too—public means public!)
Public admission is $25 (or $30 at the door, if they're still available) and includes vegan bites from the (vegan) caterer, Sizzle Pie, Gardein, Daiya, and Upton's Naturals, among others, one drink (BridgePort beer, cocktails or mocktails, or wine from The Vegan Vine), and <insert drumroll and anticipatory murmur of the crowd here> the Coconut Bliss sundae bar! Oh, and you're entered to win door prizes! And we're still working up more fun surprises! The event is all ages, but no drinking for the minors so bring your ID.
Intimidated by the Galarama idea? Don't be! We're pretty sure we'll be seeing everything from hoodies and jeans to red-carpet dresses (dresses you'd see on the red carpet, not dresses made of red shag…no, wait! I call it! Nobody else can wear a rug dress!).
If you happen to be the owner of a company or a maker of things, we'd love to feature your wares/services as auction or door prize items. If not, spread the word and maybe you'll reach one. The more cool stuff we get the more animals Woodstock can care for. To donate, fill out this form.
See you there!
One thought on "Ladies and gentlemen, the Galarama"
I'm not a maker of things but I'm damn good at bidding at silent auctions. I adore Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary and I'm prepared to bid high and often to support their good work.
Oh, I'll be in something between a hoodie and a dress 😉

If this is a repeat of events that happend in Dec '11 through Feb '12, there was a long period of only tethered JB for iOS 5. Apple did much the same thing, relesed 5, 5.0.1, 5.1 and then 5.1.1 inclose proximity. 5.1.1 was the best and most stable.
iOS 6 mostly was made to support iPhone 5's though, whereas iOS 5 was released mainly to support the 4S.
So, if the progression repeats itself, because I do believe in Cyclic Time, iOS 6.1.1 will come out, it will be easily patched, and we'll have it for a good long while until Apple decides to upturn the "applecart" again.
It's marketing. New software we're so cool. I wouldn't buy an iPhone if I didn't think it was jailbreakable at some point. Seemed like a leap of faith getting the 5 prior to there being a jb for it, it was a painful 6 months waiting.
considering i got half my packages not showing up in my cydia i really wanted to restore last night the fix buggered me couldn't be more frustrated (stupid weather fix didnt even work!!!)
with some help from iFile i was able to remove most of what was bothering me .. 6.1.1 must be out??
Bet a lot of apple staff have a iPhone jailbroken
I'm keeping mine so apple can just kiss my a**
Evasi0n 1
Apple 0
Don't get your hopes up. With patching 5.1.1, it took weeks for apple to release the next beta.
Well I do want to be jailbroken, however the jailbreak doesn't play well with some of my apps

Wahoos' Sulbaran outduels Skaggs
Reds prospect allows two hits over 5 2/3 scoreless innings
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | April 14, 2012 8:51 PM ET
So when he took the hill for Double-A Pensacola on Saturday against Tyler Skaggs, MLB.com's No. 21 prospect, he didn't bat an eye.
Sulbaran allowed two hits over 5 2/3 scoreless innings to outpitch Skaggs and help the Blue Wahoos defeat the Mobile BayBears, 6-1. "I don't really focus on the other guy," Sulbaran said. "I'm just going out there trying to get a win. I'm out there to face the hitters, not the other pitcher. So it doesn't matter if it's a great prospect like Skaggs or some guy who hasn't pitched well, my focus is to just get the win."
A 30th-round pick in the 2008 Draft, Sulbaran (1-0) struck out four and walked three en route to his first Double-A win. Only two BayBears reached second base while the 6-foot-2, 220-pound right-hander was on the mound.
The native of Curacao, who coaxed six groundouts and only two fly balls, passed around the praise.
"Good defense helped," he said. "I was trying to keep the ball down in the zone and get some ground balls, which the defense did a good job of containing. I was talking to my catcher [Brian Peacock], too, and he helped me focus on keeping the ball down. Plus, being the fifth pitcher in the [five-game] series and having seen everyone else face the hitters, that was good, too."
Sulbaran lowered his ERA to 1.64 in two starts. In his season debut against Montgomery last weekend, he gave up two runs on six ihts over 5 1/3 frames. A year ago, he was 9-6 with a 4.60 ERA in 26 starts in the hitter-friendly California League.
Sulbaran said he's already noted some differences in the Southern League that could work to his advantage.
"The fields and winds are different here. Last year in the Cal League, some of those hits I gave up today, they would've been homers. Here, they're just fly balls," he explained. "Because of that, players over there know they can wait for their pitch. It's not the same here."
Reds No. 7 prospect Didi Gregorius collected three hits and scored a run for Pensacola, which got a three-run double from Yordanys Perez.
Skaggs (0-1) pitched five innings and was charged with four runs -- three earned -- on seven hits. He walked two and struck out eight as his ERA climbed to 3.27.
Pinch-hitter Raoul Torrez singled home the BayBears' lone run in the seventh. D-backs' No. 5 prospect Matt Davidson went 0-for-3, ending his streak of six consecutive multi-hit games.

the design, the breakfast, the location the walking distance to my room, it's a huge place
It is a beautifully designed hotel. The stay in our spacious room was very comfortable. The staff was helpful and friendly. The buffet-style breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices. Great central location. The internet server was down for couple of hours. Unless you need it for business, this was not a big disturbance.
The modern design, rooms were spacious and the bathroom facilities were lovely. Swimming pool was amazing and the staff were very accommodating and friendly.
The location of the hotel was the best feature as it was close to the shops,bars and restaurants. I would have to be very finiky to have not liked anything about this hotel.
This hotel cries out class from the moment you arrive.The mixing of 19th century building and 21st century interior is amazing.Every aspect of the hotel is beautifully designed.The rooms are beautiful in contemporary design and function.The breakfast is second to none in quality and variety.The pool is breathtaking.The difficult thing is to have to leave and come home to my own box.
The space was a great mix of old architecture and modern style. The rooms were very comfortable and you could walk to different restaurants within a few minutes... great shopping and not far from the old town. Staff was incredibly friendly. Great bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs:) The rooms were very nice and clean. That said, there was much space wasted for common areas that may have been incorporated into the personal space.
reception was very helpful and friendly there were face towels/ wash cloths in the bathroom and shower gel was not replaced daily.
Location was great, staff friendly, and to my benefit spoke English. I didn't get things like bottled water or shampoo replaced daily, and one day my room wasn't cleaned at all.
The oldie world atmosphere in the hotel & its locationto the city.
Really big name but poor experience here.very old fashioned hotel.
For the amount of years this hotel has been open...188yrs..i enjoyed staying at this hotel with alot of history. Wifi is free and good speed for doing some work away from the office Floors squeak....but hey its an very old hotel...but i enjoyed it..breakfeast was nice but eggs could use some more cooking
Breakfast!!! Super nice!
Great room area The hotel is extremely old. Need some renovations.. Specialy in the rooms
Hotel was in an excellent location. Rooms were dated but comfortable. No lights in corridor to room.
relatively good comfort, good rate price and quality of services, close to downtown and shopping centers. Sometime attitude of personel from restorant.
smole in entrance hall + unkind people
The hotel is ok in terms of amenities. Friendly staff and possibility t dine late. Monitored parking is an asset. Close to the Manufaktura shopping mall Location is excentric, signs leading to the hotel are missing.
The staff was really kind and helpful in the reception. I enjoyed the abundant breakfast indeed. Smoking is permitted in the hotel rooms (as apparently everywhere in Poland). It is a bad combination with fitted carpet for people with a sensitive nose. The pillow and bed could have been much better.
very clean hotel. excellent staff. breakfast could be better. very good value. close to all amenities. would recommend.
Well run hotel housed in a beautiful old building. Helpful staff. Good traditional breakfast. Spacious rooms with comfortable beds.
Second time staying here and once again we enjoyed it. The breakfast is very good and the continuous coffee and tea is a good idea. We were accosted at our breakfast table by a beggar who walked past reception to ask for money. Apart from being a security matter this is not acceptable and reception should not have allowed the person in.
the staff and excellent breakfast choice no proper cups and saucers for tea and coffee....however when I requested some, the staff immediately ensured they were in our room
Nice and very helpful service, new hotel with new facilities but based on an old manufacture - interesting architecture, close to the downtown (10 minutes walk), great breakfast, Internet, big rooms. One of the best 2 stars hotels I have ever been. This is only 2 stars hotel so there is no air conditioning.
Very modern hotel,good food and very helpful staff
We enjoyed the upsale atmosphere that really accomodated to the needs of the 2008 traveler---internet, breakfast, bag lunch and also dinner if needed. The staff was friendly and the rooms were large.
Hot coffee and tea was available in the lobby 24/7 The walls between the rooms seemed VERY thin. We could hear next door walking about
The rooms were lovely and clean and breakfast was really good. Staff were very nice and polite. Lack of english channels on TV. Everything was in Polish! They should really invest in satellite. Also, it would be good if the light switches were by the bed so you wouldn't have to get out of it to switch lights off. The gym could do with a bit of updating.
The room: good size and high ceilings. The breakfast was indeed nice and the staff was kind and very helpful.
Staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, food was excellent and facilities were new and well laid out The linen was not changed each day and only two towels per two persons were supplied as part of the room make up.
Fantastic breakfast, even provided filled rolls & coffee to go (great when dashing off to catch plane!) Staff all spoke really good english. Was only 5minutes from no. 65 bus stop (direct from airport only 20 minutes) A very good shower too! Only provided with one sachet of coffee & milk per person per day in the room, which contrasted badly with the generosity of the breakfasts. Staff at reception had no access to get more for us, so a choice of tea/coffee before bed or one in the morning while waiting for partner to get ready to go down for breakfast.
I liked the room and breakfast. Parking space available is also fine.
Clean, quiet hotel, with good breakfast and coffee/tea facilities in room. Stayed there in the summer, so air conditioning was appreciated. Close to downtown Lodz (by car), and free parking. Modern design is attractive and the room is comfortable. We liked it! Would have liked more choices on the satellite TV for international travelers. And it is a bit difficult to locate.
hotel with nice future comfortable good location not for smooker
the restaurant was excellent. The staff really professional. Incredible cusine for a tree star hotel. - i will like to see more international programess on (really good LCD TV) TV in the room and a bar in the room will also be an improvement, but I want to emphasise that the room is really good for a tree star.
Hotel kindly arranged for my laundry to be collected,cleaned,ironed and returned to me all on the same day and for a reasonable price even though they don't have a laundry service for their guests.
Location was really good and also friendly staff
Center of the town, quite near train station (10 min of walk); shopping and cinema just outside the hotel; quiet room
All basics are present and functioning Breakfast is rather expensive for the quality you get
Internet was very slow.
The level of the hotel that is expected from the hotels of Ibis chain - very simple but very comfortable rooms, enough space, friendly staff, normal breakfast - everything was in place. No special "dislikes".
i like it and still will select it for next time! because i am a chinese,so the food is not suitable for me.
Staff are friendly
I like that the staff speaks English very good and they were very serviceminded. And I like the location of the hotel. Near the shops.
There were no free of charge parking place.
Good balance of price and quality. Simple but comfortable. Food in breakfast is poorly prepared. The tomates and cuumbers were probably sliced the previous day.
Very Clean , Helpful staff . Nice breakfast. Room was a little stuffy and windows didn't open to allow fresh air.
The hotel rooms are just cute, I haven't seen an interior design like that in hotels this class, everything on site was absolutely great. no
Clean and tidy room Location required 15 minute walk to arrive at the center of the city. Closer would have been nicer.
Very good hotel, beautiful rooms and great price. Breakfast not included in room price and expensive - you can eat great breakfast significantly cheaper in nice place in city center
the staff was friendly and helpful
The staff were so helpful Noise between rooms is quite loud - not really a big problem usless you have party upstairs going on which I did.
Good stay, very welcoming staff, room not too big but enough space for 2 people, comfy beds, big bathroom, tasty breakfast
Good central location, reasonably priced, beds very comfortable Free drink voucher misleading, as this is only for juice but not stated on voucher
The hotel was ideally placed for shopping and night life. A large shopping centre is less than 100 metres away and numerous bars and restaurants within 5 - 10 minute walk away. Room was comfy great value for money. Towels changed daily and beds made up. Requested a handle for the window so it could be opened. Didn't have any meals, very cheap to eat out. Hotel staff very helpfull and provided good advice for sightseeing.. The bar closed at 11.30 which we felt was early as we usually like to have a nightcap before going to bed..
Very modern and well located
The bed size
Location and good service, security was good too, restaurant food was fab. The room had alot of the main amenities that you require including climate control. They even kindly catered me for breakfast even though I was 1hr late. This is the best hotel in Lodz that I've stayed in. There is no jacuzzi, steam room, fitness area etc.
Located in centrum of Lodz. Convenient parking. Very nice facilities, clean and fresh, design-touch. Good breakfast. I can recommend it sincerely.
Good variety of breakfast dishes Junior Suite was a way to small to call "suite" even in a micro scale.
The hotel staff were always very helpful and worked as a very good team. The rooms were always clean and tidy.The resterant area was very smart and the food was always plentiful.In my opinion a hotel which gave you value for money and one which i would stay in again if i visited Lodz again.This was the second time i have stayed here and would do so again. Nothing
very nice hotel.room, breakfast, staff - everything is good.
Good comfort; the room was pretty large; kind hotel staff; nice restaurant.
This hotel is very clean, new style, free internet access in the room, also has wifi but I failed to use it, just outside the hotel there are tram stop, but the underground passage with many stairs hard work with heavy travellers, Drive a car to get there will be fine! Gas station and a McDonald just side by side, and it also has hotel parking area. The price, a llittle expensive, espesially no minibar or refrigerator in my room. May be the Location, a little bit far from train station, but two block from the Galleria Lodzka (a department and cinema center)
i liked this hotel very much it was close to the main centre of lodz it is a new hotel and everything is very clean the one thing it needs is a bar to sit while you have a drink you can get a drink in the restaurant and in your mini bar in room we also ate in the restaurant twice and that was good and the breakfasts were excellent
location smaller than i thought it would be

Supreme Court Sends Affirmative Action Case Back
(Washington, DC) -- The U.S. Supreme Court is sending a key affirmative action case back to a lower federal court. The case involves the admissions policy at the University of Texas at Austin. The policy allows the university to consider race in roughly a quarter of the admissions of freshmen. A young white woman challenged the constitutionality of the policy. Abigail Fisher claimed she was denied admission in 2008 because of the color of her skin.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the University of Texas, saying it has leeway in achieving its goals to increase minority enrollment. The high court ruled the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals didn't adequately hold the university to a "demanding burden of strict scrutiny."

Josephine Baker (1906-1975)
A native of Missouri, Josephine Baker is remembered for her sultry and comedic stage routines that captivated audiences across the European continent as the Jazz Age unfolded in the United States. During World War II, however, the dancer and singer known as "Black Venus," "Black Pearl," or "Creole Goddess" performed a much more important role for her adopted country of France: that of undercover operative in the French Resistance.
In addition to serving as a sub-lieutenant in the Women's Auxiliary of the French Air Force, Baker maintained an exhaustive performance schedule throughout the war, entertaining both French and American troops. These appearances in many of Europe's wartime cities provided an excellent cover for the different covert activities she undertook on behalf of the Allied cause.
On at least occasion, Baker smuggled secret military intelligence reports into Portugal from France that had been written in disappearing or invisible ink on her sheet music. (As an element of tradecraft, invisible ink has proved to be a valuable operational tool throughout history. Part of its longevity can be traced to some of the simple and readily available sources for the ink: milk, vinegar, lemon juice, and even urine. In the 20th century, more sophisticated inks resulted from the discovery and introduction of different chemical ingredients.)
Her traveling revue also provided an effective cover for other intelligence agents. To help secure the visas these men and women needed, Baker often relied on her considerable wiles and charm. More than one foreign service officer was sufficiently seduced by what Picasso called the entertainer's "smile to end all smiles," wistfully issuing or validating the documents her touring companions required.
Only a serious illness that required a six-month hospital stay succeeded in curtailing Baker 's daring and impressive intelligence activities. For her many wartime contributions to her beloved France, she was awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Medal of the French Resistance with Rosette. In 1961, President Charles de Gaulle named the former operative and Folies Bergère star Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
In the U.S., she supported civil rights, refusing to perform for segregated audiences. During her life she married five times and adopted twelve children from around the world whom she called her "Rainbow Tribe."
In early April 1975 at age 69, the still alluring and captivating performer appeared on stage for the last time. One week later, she died peacefully in her sleep of a cerebral hemorrhage. As her funeral procession made its way through Paris, an estimated 20,000 admirers lined the streets to bid "Black Venus" au revoir. In an official gesture of respect and gratitude, the French government authorized a 21-gun salute at her service, making Josephine Baker the first American woman buried on French soil with military honors.

Tornados fall to visiting Wolves, 91-86January 26, 2011
Brevard ends first trip through the SAC with a 5-4 record
Brevard, N.C. - Tony Davis led the Wolves with 31 points and 14 rebounds as Newberry overcame a 29 point performance by Josh Roper in Boshamer Gymnasium, as the Tornados fell at home in conference play on Wednesday night, 91-86.
Roper led Brevard (7-7, 5-4 SAC) with hit 29 points, adding six rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocked shots as the Tornados shot 45.3 percent (29-64) from the floor in the contest. Drew Schauss added 13 points, going a perfect five of five from the free throw line and Ryson Felder added a pair of three-pointers on his way to 12 points, as the Tornados fell in their fourth straight contest.
Davis' double-double led the Wolves (8-9, 3-6 SAC) on the evening as 10 Newberry players scored in the contest. Ray Robinson added 14 points in 14 minutes' action and Brandon Riley had 10 points and five rebounds as the Wolves converted 47.8 percent (32-67) of their field goal attempts in the game.
Roper scored the first four points of the game as the Tornados went up 4-0 after a pair of made free throws at the 19:12 mark, but the Wolves battled back, tying it up on a breakaway dunk by Brunes Charles as the teams battled early in the first half. A Roper layup put the Tornados up 6-4, but the Wolves scored the next eight points, capped by a pair of free throws by Davis as Newberry held the 12-6 advantage with 15:08 remaining in the opening half.
Brevard steadily chipped away at the deficit, eventually taking the 22-21 lead on a Roper three-pointer off the assist from Gaither Hendrix with 8:50 on the clock. Newberry, however, continued to employ a successful pressure defense against the Brevard offense, rebuilding the lead out to 32-25 as Davis converted a free throw attempt with 5:37 to play, giving the Wolves their largest lead of the first half.
The Tornados had one final run at the end of the half, tying the score up at 41 apiece as Schauss drove in for the layup and hit the free throw to convert the traditional three-point play with 1:17 on the clock. A turnaround jumper in the paint by Robinson gave the Wolves the 43-41 lead with time winding down, but the Tornados took the lead into the locker room as Darius Moose connected with Hendrix, and the junior guard drained the three-pointer to put Brevard up 44-43 at the break.
A Felder three-pointer broke the scoreless tie in the second half with 18:37 on the clock to give the Tornados their largest lead of the game at 47-43, but Newberry tied it up with baskets on two of their next three possessions as Chris Reynolds went in for the layup off the assist from Patrick Ryan and Brandon Riley also took one to the rim as the Wolves tied it up at 47 with 16:57 on the clock.
Newberry built their largest lead of the ball game at 69-56 with 11:01 left in the game on a free throw by Riley, but the Tornados continued to battle back through their defensive play, making one last run at the Wolves.
Starting at the 5:55 mark, with Brevard down 78-68 after a made free throw by Newberry's Antoni Magdos, the Tornados went on a 9-0 run, as Roper hit a jumper in the lane and converted a free throw after the foul. This began a stretch of Brevard's defense taking over the game as Josh Jordan blocked a shot in the lane and Roper added two steals and a blocked shot of his own as the Tornados stifled the Wolves offense on a series of five straight possession as the final Roper steal turned into a Schauss breakaway layup, cutting the lead down to one at 78-77 with 4:20 on the clock.
This was as close as the Tornados would get as Robinson drained a pair of free throws to put the Wolves back up by three and Ryan closed out the game with four straight free throws after a Brevard turnover with under 10 seconds remaining as the Tornados fell, 91-86.
Neither team was able to find the range behind the arc as Newberry hit 20.0 percent (2-10) of their three-point attempts and Brevard was held to 19.2 percent (5-26) in the game, but the Wolves won the rebounding battle, 45-35, and outscored the Tornados 50-40 in the paint to take home the win.
The Tornados continue with their conference home stand on Saturday, January 29th, as they host Anderson University. Brevard took home the 85-84 victory in the Abney Athletic Center on December 4th against the Trojans and will look to complete the season sweep. Tipoff between the SAC opponents is set for 4 p.m.

Your support allows the hospital to continue its mission of helping children.
What is now known as Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC) is officially chartered on October 6, 1921 by a group of five community leaders who are also members of the Masonic Fraternity. They are named as the first Board of Trustees of the hospital.
The Board of Trustees approaches Dallas orthopaedic surgeon Dr. William Beall Carrell about treating children with polio free of charge. Dr. Carrell offers his services and clinic space and becomes the hospital's first chief of staff (COS).
As word spreads throughout Texas and the caseload increases, the clinic has treated 500 patients and has 1,000 applications waiting from 150 Texas counties. The clinic moves to the new and larger Dallas Medical Arts building in downtown Dallas.
The caseload continues to rise and Texas Masons determine that a hospital facility is needed to accommodate future growth. Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children is built on three acres in Dallas' Oak Lawn area at the corner of Welborn Street and Sylvester Street (now Scottish Rite Way). The original structure is a two-story red brick building with a 15-bed patient ward.
The Texas Scottish Rite Masons assume financial responsibility for the hospital. The Board of Trustees establishes an endowment fund to ensure the longevity of TSRHC's work.
The total number of patients treated reaches 14,000. Four years later, the total number of patients treated has nearly doubled to more than 27,000.
Dr. Brandon Carrell succeeds his father as TSRHC's second Chief of Staff. His father, Dr. William B. Carrell, served the hospital from its founding in 1921 until his death in 1944.
The Salk and Sabin vaccines virtually eradicate polio in North America, allowing TSRHC medical staff to expand treatment in a wide range of pediatric orthopaedic disabilities caused by disease, accidents and congenital conditions such as scoliosis and clubfoot.
Former U.S. Senator William A. Blakley and his wife, Villa, donate two large ranches to TSRHC - an unprecedented gift which allows the hospital to begin plans for the construction of a new facility. The hospital continues to operate one of the ranches, the Rocker b™, a 173,00-acre ranch in West Texas.
Pediatric neurologist Dr. Lucius "Luke" Waites joins the staff and develops a center to evaluate and treat children with learning disabilities, specifically dyslexia. In 1968, at the invitation of Dr. Waites, the World Federation of Neurology meets at TSRHC and develops the first consensus medical definition of dyslexia.
Ground is broken on a new six-story, 400,000-square-foot facility across the street from the original hospital building. It opens in 1977.
TSRHC Chief of Staff, Dr. J. A. "Tony" Herring, is appointed. He continues to work closely with Dr. Brandon Carrell until Dr. Carrell's death in 1981.
TSRHC's pediatric orthopaedic fellowship program is initiated to allow orthopaedic surgeons to pursue additional specialized training. Since that time, 160 orthopaedic fellows representing six continents have trained at TSRHC.
The annual TSRHC Amputee Ski Trip is established to give 14 teenage patients the opportunity to learn to ski at the renowned National Sports Center for the Disabled in Winter Park, Colo. The event comes six years after the hospital launched its own Prosthetics department to custom build prostheses for its patients.
The TSRH® Spinal Implant System, developed in the hospital's research laboratory to correct a range of spinal deformities, is introduced at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. It becomes the most widely used spinal implant system in the world.
The first Tartan Golf Classic is held at Brook Hollow Golf Club. Since its inception, this annual golf event has raised more than $6 million for TSRHC.
The number of active volunteers at the hospital reaches 500. Since the founding of the Auxiliary in 1921, nearly 3.5 million volunteer hours have been contributed to the hospital by these dedicated individuals who now number more than 800.
Dr. John Birch, assistant chief of staff, begins performing the Ilizarov procedure to lengthen and straighten bones of TSRHC patients.
Researchers at TSRHC develop the TRUE/LOK® External Fixation System, a patented modification of the Ilizarov device for the lengthening and straightening of bones.
The hospital celebrates its 75th birthday. TSRHC's now widely recognized crayon logo and colorful campus signage are debuted as part of the hospital's commemorative 75th year.
The total number of patients treated at the hospital surpasses 100,000, almost 10,000 for scoliosis.
The first Treasure Street event is held at TSRHC, raising more than $150,000 in proceeds. Since its inception, Treasure Street has raised more than $12 million benefiting the hospital's Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) Clinic and many other hospital programs. In 2010, Treasure Street celebrated its most successful event to date, generating more than $1 million in proceeds during one single year.
The four-acre James F. Chambers, Jr., Youth Fitness Park, named in honor of a longtime hospital leader and trustee, opens on the TSRHC campus to help children of all abilities reach their potential.
The Dallas White Rock Marathon designates Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children as primary charity beneficiary of the race. Since that time, the marathon has generated more than $1.9 million in proceeds for the hospital.
With a $3.5 million gift from Don and Linda Carter, the Christi Carter Urschel Family Resource Center is established in honor of their daughter. The Center provides educational material and other information resources, programs and group support to patients and 1993 their families.
The Sam and Millie Hilburn Family Room and Chapel, designed to accommodate a growing patient population, opens with a larger, more comfortable surgery waiting area and new place of worship.
A new, larger research center, the 28,000-square-foot Sarah M. and Charles E. Seay Center for Musculoskeletal Research, is built to provide TSRHC with a state-of-the-art technical and teaching environment.
The Center for Excellence in Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction is formalized under the direction of TSRHC Dr. John Birch and Dr. Mikhail Samchukov.
The Sarah M. and Charles E. Seay/ Martha and Pat Beard Center for Excellence in Spine Research is established with TSRHC's Dr. Daniel Sucato as director.
The Charles E. Seay Jr., Hand Center is established under the direction of TSRHC's Dr. Marybeth Ezaki.
Hospital researchers under the direction of Dr. Carol Wise identify the first gene - CHD7 - associated with idiopathic scoliosis, the most common spinal deformity in children. The discovery enables scientists and doctors to explore the disease's causes and potential treatment.
The Center for Excellence in Clubfoot Research is established under the direction of TSRHC's Dr. Steve Richards.
The 23,000-square-foot T. Boone Pickens Training and Conference Center opens at TSRHC, thanks to an $8 million gift from Madeleine and T. Boone Pickens. Since that time, more than 40,000 visitors have been introduced to the hospital through this outstanding addition to the TSRHC facility.

PRINCETON JUNCTION, NJ -- The Smart Card Alliance has formed an independent, cross-industry organization to lay the groundwork for the U.S. to move from magnetic stripe technology to the more secure EMV technology now in widespread use in other countries.
The EMV Migration Forum will bring together representatives from financial card issuers, payments processors, merchants, acquirers, payment networks, industry suppliers and other constituent groups. It will provide guidance on technical issues and develop and distribute best practices to promote consumer awareness and adoption of EMV cards. It will also help coordinate the necessary changes to the payments infrastructure to support EMV.
The forum will be a part of the Smart Card Alliance, a nonprofit association focused on card technology, but will have a separate membership.
EMV is a technical specification, developed by Europay, MasterCard and Visa, that outlines the interaction between smart cards and terminals to ensure worldwide interoperability. EMV card technology has been adopted throughout the world largely due to its increased security. By replacing the traditional magnetic stripe still widely used in the U.S. with chip technology, EMV cards cut down on vulnerabilities that lead to card fraud including counterfeits and lost or stolen cards
EMV technology also enables global use of the card, supporting not only contact and contactless methods of payment but also mobile and remote payment methods.
Still, some payments stakeholders have been reluctant to make the costly infrastructure changes necessary to enable EMV cards in the U.S. But American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa have all committed to adopting EMV in the next few years, prompting processors and merchants to ready themselves for the move.
"By creating an organization that brings together all of the payments stakeholders who have a direct role in the EMV migration in the U.S., without regard to their past or present involvement with smart cards or other chip technologies, the EMV Migration Forum will be able to focus on the needed coordination and cooperation across the payments landscape," said Smart Card Alliance executive director Randy Vanderhoof.
The first meeting of the newly formed EMV Migration Forum will take place Sept. 12–13 at MasterCard Worldwide headquarters in Purchase, NY.

This easy-to-use, emission-free device shredded leaves quickly and neatly, earning it the Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. During testing, it chewed through 50 gallons of leaves in only 2 1/2 minutes—less than 1/10 the time required by inferior units—and unlike lesser models it did not choke on the occasional twig or let any leaf pass through unshredded. With a cutting system similar to an oversized weed trimmer, The Best Leaf Shredder's powerful 13-amp motor and cutting line turned 4 1/2 bags of bulky foliage into a single compact bag of rich mulch—other devices could only reduce leaf volume by half. Elastic straps secure a plastic or paper bag under the polypropylene hopper, creating a tight seal that won't allow debris to escape. The Best Leaf Shredder also has telescoping legs that adjust from 16 1/2"-29 1/2" to position the device over a trash can or compost bin. The bladeless device has five settings to devour everything from wet grass to pine needles, and a funnel cover enables tidy and efficient reloading. Comes with 20 replacement cutting lines. Plugs into AC with 16" cord. 49" H x 21 1/4" W x 21 1/4" D. (13 1/2 lbs.)

Super Shreder
By Ray the Improvisor
from Arlington, VA
I was not confident of its legs so I have set it in a plastic trash container that has wheels. Now I can roll it around and contain the mulch at the same time. It is doing everything I hoped for at a very reasonable price.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

So disappointed!
By BeachBarb
from Delaware
I was so excited to read about this leaf shredder in the catalog -- I have lots of trees in my yard and this would have been a dream come true if it worked. I needed the legs at the highest point and no matter how tight we screwed them at that level, they slipped down to the lowest point. It is too flimsy for the amount of work I needed it for, and so I didn't even try to actually use it. If it does mulch well, I'd buy this again at a higher price if they could make strong, sturdy legs!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Best Leaf Shredder
By Zung
from Massachusetts
Has the most power of any leaf mulcher I have used. But, be careful loading wet or damp leaves. Slowly loading works best.

Leaf Shredder
By flyergal
from royersford, pa
The person who I gave this to set it works great. He hasn't tried putting the twigs in it because he doesn't want it to jam. Overall, very happy with it.

Worth the $
By slw1hot
from Austin, TX
I thought this product performed to my expectations. I am not sure if it saved that much time over using my mulcher/blower after getting all the leaves in a pile first, but it was easier and used even less bags. The stress on your back from carrying around a mulcher/blower was made up by the by the bending over and picking up the leaves to feed them into the unit (at least you get a good ab workout). You do need to feed the unit slowly or the leaves will not get to the cutting mechanism. At times the unit slid down so the tightening mechanism could be stronger, but overall it did what it was advertised to do.

Does a great job!
By Sick of leaves
from Rochester, NY
I had a big pile of leaves, some wet, and the Leaf Shredder chewed through the whole thing in about 1/2 hour with one bag filled vs 5-6 bags of whole leaves! This plus a leaf blower makes quick work of a yard full of them. It's not super fast, but fast enough and easy to use. I found that the extending legs tended to slide down and that it was easier to just use it at the lowest level.

not too bad
By landscaper ken
from Michigan
works pretty well. legs slide down too much, and it goes through the cutting wire quickly. overall a good, useful tool for leaves and small plant foliage.

It's weak in the knees !
By Big E
from Ashland
When I went to stand up the shredder on it's adjustable legs, all three slipped completely down though tightened completely. Since the two piece coupler on each leg depends merely on friction to hold up the substantial shredder it cannot be tightened enough without breaking the plastic. I will have leave it low to the ground when I use it due to any vibration.

It does exactly what it is suppose to do. I love it.

I have the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 on my laptop. After installing Google Earth, and trying to run it on the bt3 OS, I get booted out of the desktop. My laptop also dual boots with Vista. When I'm in Vista I can run Google Earth, so I know my graphics card should be able to 'handle' Google Earth. I tried booting up bt3 with the different boot options but I'm continously booted out of bt3 when I try to launch Google Earth. Any idea on what I can do to fix this problem ?
p.s. I know bt3 is for pentesting etc... but I think it is an awesome OS so I use it as my main OS to do everything.

Commerce, Banking and Agencies
We find hints and signs of an awakening of commercial life in Sanok during the first decade of the 1900s. We can surmise that the causes for this awakening were, on the one hand, the development of industry in the city and the region even though it was only in its early phases; and on the other hand, the growth of both the Jewish and gentile population in the city, which of course meant the growth of marketplace demand.
We find clear signs and hints in support of commerce in Sanok in the newspapers of that era, both daily and periodical. This is particularly clear in the Sanok weekly Folksfreund, where we find commercial advertisements and announcements; for example of the Galicia firm, which was a large wholesaling enterprise, apparently of large scope and with a large staff, which began by selling bone meal, phosphates, etc that is the manufacture of fertilizer products for agriculture. There were also advertisements about the sale of sewing machines, bicycles, records, and even typewriters![1]
[Page 228]
In every edition of this newspaper, we encounter advertisements regarding the search for agents to distribute merchandise and products from this firm.
Here, as we discuss commerce, we will make note of a bakery that during the end of the 1800s and the beginning of the 1900s, rather than being merely a workplace and business enterprise, was noted in that its owner Elimelech Rosenblatt was the provider of bread for hundreds of Austrian soldiers of Kaiser Franz Josef who were stationed in the military camp of Sanok. Elimelech Rosenblatt was a scholar and Zionist activist. His name is mentioned among the members of Yeshurun, the first religious Zionist organization of Sanok, which was founded during the time of the leadership of Dr. Herzl. In the minutes of the founding meeting of Yeshurun, brought down in the book The History of Zionism in Galicia by Dr. N. M. Gelber, it is noted that Elimelech Rosenblatt was given the responsibility for the library[2].
In this era, we see an awakening in the banking sector. In the February, 1, 1912 edition of Folksfreund, we read an announcement in the weekly chronica section about the founding of banking institutions. These are in the form of objective announcements rather than advertisements, and there is no doubt about their authenticity. One is called Credit and Handelsperein, directed by Nachum Rosenberg, Avraham Hochdorf, and Hirsch Weiner, with the members of the audit committee listed as Dr. Sala Landau as chairman and Leon Hasenlauf as his vice. The second financial institution about which we read in the chronicles section of this newspaper was founded by the partners Shimon Reich, Shimon Scheiner, Dr. Ornstein and others. These were Jews who are known to us from the commercial and communal arenas of our city at that time and later.
Here is a different type of commercial announcement, from a later period, in Hamitzpeh, the Hebrew weekly published in Krakow. An advertisement appears signed by Doberish Rosenfeld, who is known to all of us as the owner of the monopoly store for cigarettes and tobacco (trafik). The following is the text of the advertisement[3]
The First World War brought all sectors of commercial life to a halt. However, immediately during the first years following the end of the war, there was already a broad-based economic revival. The movement to restore and renovate ruins from the war increased demand and purchasing power. A large independent Poland arose and new, broad scale industrial regions came to the fore. New business enterprises were founded. Businesses and warehouses full of merchandise and new products that were attractive to customers were reestablished with improvements and modernization. The textile and fine goods businesses were expanded and merged. New sources of imports were developed, and previously unknown export markets were revealed. The building business was expanded for the purpose of restoration and re-erecting the ruins of the war. Alongside this, the branches of business relating to the building industry, such as building materials, equipment, and carpentry, also increased. We see a significant rise in the textile and clothing industries. We note the development of the egg exporting business, which was represented by Ephraim Kramer and Mordechai Bross.
An electric grid was set up in Sanok in 1928. Connected to this, business opened up for electric needs, machines and parts (Herman Sobel and others).
Alongside the signs of development and flourishing and the potential of further positive development, the economic life of the Jewish population of Poland, especially in the commercial sector, faced difficult tests, which included threats of liquidation and decrees of destruction upon Jewish businesses and industry in Poland. One test was the harsh, cruel, openly anti-Semitic hand of the Grabski government, which imposed unbearably heavy taxes upon the Jews, to the point of choking and strangulation. The second matter was the anti-Semitic spirit that pervaded among the various strata of Christian Poland, especially among the intelligentsia, and which began to place obstacles not only before the development of Jewish commerce in Poland in the near future, but also in the day to day life of Jewish business in Poland. This was done by the establishment of stores and co-operatives, the confiscation of Jewish businesses, and the imposition of boycotts upon Jewish stores to the point where student guards were placed at the entrance of every Jewish store to prevent customers from purchasing in them.
We will note here that this manifestation of anti-Semitism was not new. It had affected the Jews of Sanok, and not only the Jews of Sanok, from time to time at times in a similar fashion and at times in a somewhat different fashion. We read the report in Hamitzpeh of A. Siedlisker, the Sanok reporter for several newspapers in Galicia, from January 20 1905, which is more than 20 years prior to the era that we are dealing with here. In the report, several examples of anti-Semitic events in Sanok are described, manifesting themselves in literal anti-Semitic persecution. Siedlisker writes:
The Jews of our city enjoyed good times prior to being afflicted by the illness of anti-Semitism which took root in the hearts of the Catholic citizens. Now the illness has spread and the Jews of our city are in a bad state. Eight years ago, a Tabaat (Ognywo) society was formed here. The following is written in clear form at the top of its charter: 'A Jew may not remain in the society headquarters for more than five minutes.' Hatred and great animosity against the Jews flowed forth from this society. A dormitory was founded for gymnasium students without differentiation based on religion. 80% of the money that was collected for this purpose was from Jewish donors, and a Jew was among its founders. When the house was erected, it was decided that no Jew can dwell in this house. The writer of this article asks: Who has ever seen or heard of such things? A house built with Jewish money is closed to Jews, and nobody opens up their mouth in complaint!
The writer complains further that the anti-Semitic spirit penetrated from Tabaat to the city council, where a Jew occupied the position of vice chairman. He was Dr. G. A good and upright man, a lover of justice, a man of spirit, who has the abilities to work for the benefit of the city. Furthermore, he has dedicated all of his energy toward the benefit of the citizens for the past three years straight, and the entire city was satisfied. And behold Christian citizens found fault with the vice chairman of the citizens and an anti-Semitic gentile was appointed in his stead From that time, the city advisors were split into two camps, Jew and Christian, arraigned one against the other in a battlefield. If the Jews said yes, the Catholics said no, and the city council was in turmoil for all of its days.
The writer further complains about the anti-Semites persecuting the Jews in the areas of commerce by opening up communal stores for this purpose. The writer writes, The hand of the Jews is disparaged in the center, for when
[Page 231]
the anti-Semites were unable to find any place for their merchandise, a Jew who owned a fine house had mercy upon them and rented his house to them for six years.
The writer continues: What do the heads of the community do against all of these many tribulations? They have their own unique politics They still ride on the donkey of assimilationism, and kiss the hand of any Pole who smacks their face saying 'good gentile!' They speak only Polish at all of their meetings. Fifteen of the sixteen communal advisors understand only Yiddish, and nevertheless, they use the Polish language amongst themselves.
The spirit of the Jewish population did not fall. The Jews continued in their struggle for life and continued existence. They attempted to utilize acceptable means of fighting and various methods of battle, such as: unifying the economic forces, forging commercial and financial entities for ensuring their protection and ability to maintain their stance in the face of the torrent of boycotts and economic persecution by the representatives of the Polish government. During these times of tribulation, we see, for example, signs of development and flourishing of the wheat and flour trade by firms that were founded in the wake of the cartel cooperatives. We see other unified entities, such as the Produkt cartel for wheat and flour, and others (Tzvi Trachman and sons). To continue and ensure the effectiveness of this struggle, and to give organizational and administrative assistance to the Jewish merchant, a union of Jewish merchants was founded and operated through the efforts of several merchants of the city, including Tzvi-Herman Sobel, Avraham and Yitzchok Gurfeinn and others. Throughout the duration of its existence, its purpose changed to the direction of the centralization of the cultural and social lives of the Jewish merchants of the city.
There is no doubt that the struggle for economic existence of the Jewish population would have continued on, and might even had been finally crowned with success, were it not for
the waves of deep-seated hatred and enmity by the entire Polish population that grew until they became caught up in the international conflagration of the Second World War, which burnt and destroyed themselves as well.

Translated by Jerrold Landau
The porters congregated mainly around the Ocyca Theater. Prior to that, they sat in the display windows of the Weiner and Ozenloif stores on Jagielonski and Kosciuszko Streets that had already been broken from the time of the First World War.
Every porter had his own nickname. Leizer Motshki, Efraim Potias, Avraham Avinu, Shmuel Hanavi. Their shoes were always without laces. Their shirts were open to their belt. The odor of sweat and liquor coming from them could be smelled from afar. Thus did they sit for long hours, tired or without work. On their way home, they would make the rounds to the doors of the shops to collect donations, as was their usual custom... As if the merchants were required to make up for their losses every day.
Their wives would also beg. They were almost always pregnant, with babies in their arms and their older children around them. They would go from door to door and make the rounds to the offices endlessly. Therefore, the following sign was prominently displayed in many hallways and house entrances: Entrance is forbidden to peddlers and beggars. It was already hard enough to tolerate the schleppers[5], where each additional child would ask separately and for me?
For this reason, in a special meeting of the Merchants Union in 1928, we deliberated about the organization Kupat Tomchei Aniyim (The Fund for the Support of the Poor).
Three merchants with stores near to each other were chosen: Reb Feivel Mann as the secretary, Reb Zusia Fennig as the cashier, and Mr. Herman Wenig as the advisor. They compiled lists of residents who would donate generously as a form of monthly tax, and lists of needy people who would receive 3 zloty each week based on the decision of the committee.
The collection was given over to the hands of a sickly, weak widower who was the father of four children. This occupation supplemented his livelihood.
It was decided to grant from 3 to 5 zloty to beggars from outside of Sanok, according to their identity cards. The protocols of the Kupat Tomchei Aniyim were publicized widely. Many beggars accepted this willingly, for they would no longer have to waste time begging.
The most difficult task was that of Reb Feivel Mann, since for the most part the poor people from outside were equipped with forged identity cards. They would change their clothes and act deceptively in order to obtain money outside of the lineup and over and above what was due to them in accordance with the protocols.
Once an elegant vagabond, who presented himself as a merchant who had lost his livelihood, acted stubbornly and asked for a larger sum. When he did not succeed, he asked to speak to a member of the black committee (by coincidence, the three activists had red beards). The listeners burst out in laughter. The vagabond made scandals in the store and on the sidewalk. Threats of calling the police did not even help. In order to solve this complicated problem with this difficult client, the one-time urgent assistance of the black-bearded Mr. Yacov Gerber was solicited. He checked the vagabond's suitcase and removed several travel cards, which showed that this downtrodden merchant had been in several places in the region that day. As a punishment for his trickery, he was prohibited from appearing in the city for an entire year... (instead of three months)... This matter was publicized to everyone, and people learned a lesson from it. From that time, nobody disturbed the work anymore.
Much good was done in secrecy through messengers and protectors for the bashful poor and for those who had lost their means. The members of the committee suffered great suffering from this, for the visits of the beggars to their stores, and the negotiations with them took a long time. However, their dedication to the acts of charity and kindness overcame the suffering.
The following took place on a bright summer day in 1934. Several women dressed festively entered the Mr. Zusia Fennig's bookstore shouting Woe. These were the women from the Jewish Street
[Page 240]
who received regular weekly support. They shouted, Reb Zusia! Reb Zusia! Fennig, Fennig! You must come with us. Otherwise, help with dollars. I understood that my uncle Zusia Fennig knew about the matter. However, it was not pleasant for him, and he had no desire to go the Barak Joselewicz Street (This was the official name of the Street that was called The Jewish Street by everyone). Having no option, Mr. Fennig and Mr. Mann went with the women, and I was given the task of urgently summoning them back... I had no time to even think, and they had already returned, with high spirits and full of impressions and experiences. All of the families in need of financial help had gathered in the clean, orderly room of Itshele the Porter. The visitor from America, who was a relative of the owner of the room, decided to give the money over only to a responsible organization in accordance with the directions of the donors from America. Therefore, they called the men of Tomchei Aniyim. When the leaders arrived, they distributed the donations according to the list that they had made themselves; that is, only the communal workers signed with the Tomchei Aniyim of Sanok -- and that was all. The cleanliness that pervaded on the Jewish street was the main thing. It was hard to believe that suddenly all of the green puddles of sewage water, and the piles of feces and waste in front of the door of every house had suddenly disappeared. The Kupat Tomchei Aniyim organization had been the cause of the cleanup in the houses of the poor and on the Jewish Street. For when the women had stopped begging from door to door, they began to concern themselves with cooking and housekeeping. This also caused the porters, several of whom had died after difficult operations, to stop getting drunk. The children and youth gathered in the Moadon Peretz or in the Poale Zion movement, and the life of begging and alms collecting began to change for the better.

A few weeks ago, I was having lunch with a group of editors at a press event in Switzerland. We had just finished a tour of the Hilti plant in which they manufacture concrete diamond core bits. They had showed us an innovative flux welding process that binds the industrial diamonds to the steel core shank.
An editor of a publication that covers drywall was very impressed. "I wish there were American engineers who could develop technology like what we just witnessed," he said.
His statement rankled me. I'm not sure if he was trying to impress our host, or if he just didn't know any better.
Our host was noticeably unsettled and responded, "Many of our best engineers are American. In fact, most come from the automotive industry, and they're excellent."
There was support for American engineering from the other editors. After listening to a few more comments from the rest of the table, our host added, "Our greatest challenge with pushing technology forward is not a matter of the engineers' nationality. It's a matter of numbers."
The shortage of engineers is an international problem. Ever the supporter of concrete and masonry, I told the table about how our industry has addressed our labor shortage by its support of the Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program. Our host and the editors from other industry magazines were impressed by your efforts.
The next few weeks, you'll have an opportunity to show your support for this unique and much needed program. The CIM National Steering Committee still needs donations for its auction that will be held at World of Concrete on Jan. 24.
During the auction, you can bid in person and online. I urge you to find a way to help in this industrywide initiative. You can learn how to donate and view a list of auction items at www.concretedegree.com.
I can't wait to meet my colleagues from other industries and brag about our industry's successful secession plan.
