This post by Publetariat founder and Editor in Chief April L. Hamilton originally appeared on her Digital Media Mom site on 5/24/14.
As you may have heard, or read, or discovered while browsing Kindle books on the Amazon site, Amazon is currently in the middle of a battle with "Big 5″ publisher Hachette. The beef is over reseller wholesale contract terms (the publisher's 'cut' on every ebook of theirs sold by Amazon), and Amazon has been using some strongarm tactics to remind Hachette that Amazon doesn't HAVE to sell Hachette books at all if the parties can't come to an agreement.
First, a little background is needed.
Back when the Kindle was new and ebooks were just starting to become a thing, say 2008 or so, Amazon established wholesale terms with publishers on ebooks based on the "fixed price" (usually known as a "suggested retail price" in other industries, for other products) which was set by the publishers. Amazon could discount the actual sales price of ebooks to whatever they wanted, or even offer them for free, so long as they paid the publisher the wholesale rate that was based on the publisher's fixed price.
For example, if the publisher's fixed price was $15 (seriously, that's the average of the fixed prices the Big 5 publishers were setting; on some ebooks they wanted to go as high as $18) and the publisher's wholesale cut was 40%, Amazon would have to pay the publisher $5.60 for every copy sold or given away on Amazon. Whether the ebook ultimately sold for $10, $6, or was given away for free, Amazon owed the publisher $5.60 for every copy distributed to Amazon customers. As a result, Amazon was (and still is) actually LOSING money on many ebook sales, but they were willing to take the hit to establish their Kindle line as dominant among ereaders.
A couple years down the road, publishers started to get nervous.
In 2010 publishers decided they didn't want Amazon to have the right to set its own prices on their ebooks anymore, even though Amazon's retail pricing didn't affect their wholesale cut AT ALL. They feared that if Amazon were allowed to establish $9.99 in the minds of consumers as a standard price point for frontlist ebooks (new release ebooks the publisher expects to sell well), they would never succeed in rolling out their own, much higher fixed prices. And they were probably right about that, but only because the fixed prices they had in mind for frontlist ebooks were ridiculously high to begin with.

Penn State trustee wants Freeh report re-examined after Paterno family review
Penn State Board of Trustees member Alvin Clemens, left, looks at documents with Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett during the lunch break of the regularly scheduled Penn State Board of Trustees meeting in State College, Pa., Friday, Jan. 20, 2012. (AP / Andy Colwell)
The Associated Press
Published Monday, February 11, 2013 4:15PM EST
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- A Penn State trustee is calling on the university governing board to re-examine the findings of former FBI director Louis Freeh's school-sanctioned investigation into the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Trustee Alvin Clemens said Monday in a statement that the critique released this weekend by Joe Paterno's family raised questions about Freeh's findings.
Clemens, a trustee since 1995, said that while it was a difficult decision, trustees should look at the Freeh report again.
Former U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh was among the experts brought in by the Paterno family to review the Freeh report. The review said that claims that Paterno participated in covering up allegations against Sandusky were inaccurate and unfounded.
Sandusky, a former assistant coach under Paterno, was convicted of 45 counts. He maintains his innocence.

What Shaun McIlrath Learned Judging Innovation Lions, Where Actions are the World's Best Ads
"Innovation is communication. The things we do say so much more about us than the things we say." Shaun McIlrath discloses that the root of all the judges' questions were consistent: Is it a breakthrough? Will it endure? Can it change lives? Have a look at his standout ideas, which for the most part had to do with innovation in the service of people and communities. The Grand Prix went to What3Words, a universal addressing system designed on a 3-by-3 meter global grid. Each of the 57 trillion squares has been pre-allocated a unique three-word address, which is then turned into precise coordinates by a geocoder. In a world where 75% of people suffer from complicated, inconsistent or non-existent addressing systems, this simple and memorable system can benefit not only business, but also communities in remote locations where access to w ater facilities or refugee camps are sometimes impossible to locate.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the state agency that promotes energy businesses and state energy policy, is always thinking about jobs.
Under a 2002 NYSERDA contract, MTI Micro agreed to pay NYSERDA a royalty of 5.0% of the sales price of any product sold incorporating IP developed pursuant to the NYSERDA contract. If the product is manufactured by a New York State manufacturer, this royalty is reduced to 1.5%. Total royalties are subject to a cap equal to two times the total contract funds paid by NYSERDA to MTI Micro, and may be reduced to reflect any New York State jobs created by MTI Micro.
MTI Micro has said it will likely outsource manufacture the fuel cell, called Mobion, and it is very possible that it would be done overseas, but you never know….

Feb 14, 2011As I said in last week's roundup, this is one of my favorite games ever, and I hope that more people -- perhaps some from the younger generation of iPhone owners -- will discover one of Sega's best now that it's available on such a popular and accessible format.
Feb 14, 2011It's not like Sega did a lot of work to put this out on the iPhone, but that doesn't change the fact that Shining Force was a fantastic game. It still is, and for only $2.99, it's a no-brainer.
Feb 14, 2011Shining Force is an underappreciated classic, and while its age sometimes shows, it is a good port by Sega to iOS, and a great representation of a strategy RPG worth checking out to this day, at a fair price.
Feb 14, 2011The throwback gameplay and easy-to-learn mechanics make for a smooth, enjoyable experience during the 15 or so hours you'll get out of this game.

Last weekend brought an absolutely beautiful, seventy degree, cloudless sky day to my neck of the woods. It reminded me that spring is just around the corner and filled me with hopes and excitement for flowers and flip flops. Those hopes were abruptly dashed when we had freezing rain the very. next. day. Ugh, so sad. But that one fleeting, glorious day has given me a large enough dose of Vitamin D to push those winter blues into the corner and start bringing the life back into my home with fun spring décor. I decided to start in one of the most used rooms in my house; the living room. And I looked no further than the stack of pillows on my couches that my hubby and I like to get comfy with and the kids seem to think are really just there to serve as cannon balls to launch at one another. They all had lovely, but dull gray color covers on them that are much better suited to the darker days of winter. I was craving some bright, some patterns, some excitement! I made these two pillow covers with fun bunny designs for about $3 in less than an hour and here's how:
I bought 1 yard of fabric at Hobby Lobby using my 40% off coupon. I already owned all of the other supplies needed, but it is just thread, paint and cotton balls. Make sure to wash and iron the fabric before using it just in case it might shrink a bit. While you're waiting for your fabric to dry, measure the pillow that you are planning to cover. You'll need to add 1 inch to the width and multiply the length by 2, then add an additional 6 inches as this will serve as the overlap portion on the backside. So for instance, my pillow was 16 inches by 16 inches. I ended up doing my calculations and cut my fabric to be 17 inches wide by 38 inches long.
On the short side, measure in 1/2 inch and fold across. Iron the fold and repeat once more. You should now have two (1/2 inch) folds that are ironed. Sew a seam along that edge and repeat the process on the other end of the fabric.
Lay your fabric right side up and place your pillow in the middle. Fold the fabric up over the pillow making sure to line up each side and pin the flaps together in the corners. Carefully slide the pillow out and continue to pin along both sides. Sew along both sides, using a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Once you have sewn both sides, turn inside out, making sure to poke out the corners (a pencil works great).
And now you've got your cover and you are ready to decorate! I cut out two simple bunny shapes and traced them onto my pillow cases. Using acrylic paint and a fabric paint medium I painted my little bunnies up, making sure that I had a small piece of cardboard inside the cover so that the paint did not bleed through to the back. I then used fabric glue to attach a small cotton ball to each bunny's tail because I love a good textural element. I chose to paint a chevron design on one bunny and just added a ribbon and flower (each with fabric glue) to the other.
I have to admit, seeing them there on my couch does make me feel a bit more cheerful and ready for the change of seasons. Who could help but smile while sitting next to a cute little bunny tail?

Strong turnout at NPC job fair
Niagara teenager Marijke Roest (left) speaks with Rebecca Pascoe, manager-curator of the Niagara Parks Commission's McFarland House, during an NPC job fair at the Niagara College campus on Dunn Street in Niagara Falls, Ont., on Saturday, Feb 20, 2016. (Ray Spiteri/Niagara Falls Review/Postmedia Network)

About 50 people waited outside before the Niagara Parks Commission opened the doors to its second annual job fair on Saturday morning.
About 450 attended last year's seasonal opportunity, and judging by the early turnout on Saturday, the NPC expected to top that number this year.
General Manager John Lohuis said young people are attracted to the NPC because of the "diversity and the business lines that we have, whether it be retail, culinary, attractions, visitor-service people who actually work with customers and visitors.
"Even on the buses we have people who tell the story of Niagara Parks and become ambassadors to Niagara."
The NPC is one of the region's largest employers with more than 1,600 full-time and seasonal employees.
Saturday's job fair was from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Niagara College campus on Dunn Street in Niagara Falls.
The job fair allows NPC to showcase the seasonal job opportunities that exist within the commission each year, while providing people with an opportunity to connect directly with various departmental managers.
Representative's from NPC's human resources department are also on hand to help answer any questions.
More than 350 positions are available this year in culinary, retail, attractions, parks, golf, heritage and transportation.
The NPC is also welcoming all those who qualify, to consider a student co-op or an apprentice cook placement.
New for this year, applicants were encouraged to create an online profile and submit their applications prior to the job fair.
St. Catharines teenager Marijke Roest, who is studying criminology at Carleton University, said she eventually wants a policing job, but was curious about the various opportunities at the NPC.
The 18-year-old had her eyes on the heritage and administrative departments.
"I'm really interested in the history of Niagara. I'm just looking to get experience for the future."
Stevensville resident Liam Burgess said he was open to different possibilities, but was particularly interested in golf and maintenance.
The 17-year-old said he applied online for positions in both fields and was hoping to speak to department officials on Saturday.
Aurelio Rosano, who brought his 17-year-old son Francesco to the job fair, said it's a good opportunity for youth in the community to get some experience and summer work.
"I think it's great because not a lot of people know how to get around (and find these opportunities). Everything is done online, pretty much ... so it's kind of easier."
Dave Morris, director of human resources for the NPC, said some of the seasonal jobs may have full-time equivalents around the park.
"We have 300 full-time staff, so it's a small contingent of full time. We have about 1,350 seasonal employees, so the vast majority of our business is seasonal, with the high operating season."
He said the NPC hired about 350 new employees last year.
"A lot of the folks who come seasonally, they return year after year, even our students."
Lohuis said one of the good things about the job fair is that "our line managers are here, so they're able to describe to the students and potential hires what the job entails, what we'd like to see accomplished in each of the business-line areas.
"This is something that provides an opportunity for us to use their skills and enthusiasm. Often we find, for instance, that students of course have advanced computer skills (and) some of the academic programs that they have apply directly to the job, so it's a nice infusion of creativity and talent that we like."

Diced Jalapeno Chiles
Native to Mexico, jalapenos were named after Jalapa, the capital city of Veracruz. Although they are still grown in Mexico where they are also known as huachinangos and chiles gordos, they are cultivated in Texas and the southwest United States. This dark green pepper with a fruity, yet spicy hot flavor is about 4 or 5 on heat scale of 1 to 10.
We carry two dehydrated cuts, ground jalapeno and diced. The diced variety are easily re-hydrated by mixing 3 parts water with 1 part diced peppers and letting them sit until soft, about 20 minutes. You don't have to re-hydrate them to enjoy them. You can toss them as-is in chili, sauces or salsas. Try these anywhere you'd like a little extra kick!

Is it possible to put some 8" Midbass's in my rear speaker openings? Its a Scion tC and the rear speaker opening I think is capable of holding an 8" speaker and it will be hidden in the factory speaker location. Just wondering if this is pointless and or will it give me a good amount of bass? I am not looking to shake my car just get the low freqs. I will be using my Van Gogh amp to push them.

ROANOKE, Va. — A former Franklin County deputy is heading back to court to enter a plea on more shooting-related charges.
Jonathan Agee is charged in Montgomery County with shooting a Virginia State Police sergeant in the leg.
Commonwealth's Attorney Mary Pettitt tells The Roanoke Times that Agee is scheduled to plead no contest on Tuesday to attempted capital murder, aggravated malicious wounding and related charges.
Earlier this month, the 33-year-old Agee pleaded no contest in Roanoke Circuit Court to first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of his ex-wife, Jennifer Agee. The shooting occurred on Memorial Day 2011 in the parking lot of a convenience store in Roanoke.
Former state police Sgt. Matthew Brannock was wounded during a chase on Interstate 81 shortly after the Roanoke shooting occurred.

One of the finest voices of the past 100 years — and arguably the greatest living baritone — is set to take the stage in Phoenix next week.
Dmitri Hvorostovsky — winner of the Cardiff Singer of the World Competition and one of People magazine's 50 most beautiful people, no less — will be singing at the Orpheum Theatre on Jan. 10, courtesy of the Phoenix Opera.
Phoenix is known less as a hub for the arts than as a haven for sunshine and golf. But Hvorostovsky's visit may recalibrate our reputation. It is not hyperbole to say that Hvorostovsky's one-day performance in the Valley of the Sun will increase the sum total of Phoenix's cultural capital.
But what is opera, anyway? And why should we care?
Fusty, antiquarian, elitist — such are the charges leveled at opera.
But opera, at its very best, is a telenovela gone wild — love and death, and madness and transfiguration, are its principal themes. It abounds in praise of the earthly joys of gluttony and intoxication. Opera customarily features characters at the end of their tethers — or slipping from them.
Opera was launched in 17th-century Europe as a pagan attempt to restore on stage the chorus of ancient Greek tragedies. It was steeped in the mysteries of rite, ritual and high drama — the stuff of Greek myth. When music and language and theater converged, opera was born.
"Music," said German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, "is the most sublime language, and if we were higher beings, we would only need to listen, and then we would see." By fusing words with music and drama, opera lets us see through our listening, and listen through our seeing. Orfeo, in Monteverdi's eponymous opera, declares Euridice's eyes his sunrise in the underworld — and underlines the age-old kinship between love and mortality, opera's two greatest themes.
Opera is animated by the primal — even quasi-religious — desire to conjure a world through the human voice. Walther, the hero of Richard Wagner's "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg," gets the girl through the beauty of his song — and sings of retrieving Eden itself.
He rightfully calls it his "prize song," and his song of praise becomes a sort of prayer. Through this prayer he attains the world and his heart's desire — which are one and the same.
Small wonder many Romantics equated singing with speaking in tongues. Composer Gustav Holst declared music "identical with heaven." The greatest opera puts beauty to the service of truth, enabling poetry and power to become one.
Human beings become, on the opera stage, forces of nature. Their vocal pyrotechnics — their razor's-edge virtuosity — elicit listeners' awe. It is a high-wire act, where performers teeter on the thin line separating failure from success, and where sheer luck and the frailty and unpredictability of the human voice each play a role.
As such, singing resembles the exhilarating high stakes of many sports: A singer ascending to a series of high-Cs may be analogous to a baseball player hitting a home run.
Opera today is no anachronism. Like the best movies and literature, it can educate the heart's passions, tapping a gleaming quarry within one's deepest self. For its devotees, it provides an enlargement of life. The fluidity of music, its mercurial ebb and flow, renders it the stuff of metamorphosis — it erases boundaries, melding intellect with heart. Opera is nothing less than a fulfillment of the old Jewish blessing: "More life into a time without boundaries."
George Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" is set in the "Golden Age," as its librettist, DuBose Heyward, put it, "when men, not yet old, were boys in an ancient, beautiful city that time had forgotten."
Opera grants us passage into a golden age, if only fleetingly, in which time is suspended and hearts unfold. Opera is a vehicle for rapture. Of how many other things might this be said?
Hvorostovsky's performance will make vivid our potential for a more spirited cultural life in the Valley, one congruent with our collective aspirations: to render Phoenix a cultural golden city, its ranks swelling with citizens whose personal "prize songs" reverberate.
Join the Phoenix Opera on Jan. 10, and see — and listen — for yourself.

Washington County's Acudetox Release Program Threatened by Cuts
NADA To Train 5000 ADS's In South Africa in 10 Years
South Africa faces an addiction epidemic with more than 15% of the population as problem drug users. Treatment is inaccessible to the majority because it is extremely expensive. Considering that a NADA treatment costs around R20.00 per person per day, we believe that the NADA 5 Point is a workable solution to address these challenging issues.
Our vision is to train 5000 NADA ADS's in South Africa in the 5 Point Protocol over the next 10 years.
For more information on training course dates, contact us for a NADA Registered Trainer near you. See also NADA Research and Acudetox for Trauma and PTSD.
Use of Acupressure Magnetic Pellets in the treatment of ADHD – Michael O. Smith, MD – Lincoln Hospital
I have described the current Lincoln hospital protocol for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the first issue of clinical acupuncture and oriental medicine (vol. 1, no. 1).
The NADA 5 Point Protocol
This video shows original footage from Lincoln Recovery Centre in South Bronx and the results that were achieved many years ago in New York. The same results are experienced today as well however nowadays there is plenty of research and anecdotal evidence on its efficacy.
Combining the NADA 5 Point Acudetox protocol with a recognised trauma counselling or addiction recovery program like the 12 Steps of AA or NA will ensure that you give yourself or your loved on the best chance at success possible in recovering from addiction.

Finding entertainment in Las Vegas is like catching raindrops in a downpour. It's an easy feat. When looking for discount show tickets Las Vegas visitors have many avenues to explore; the earlier the better. With many of the major Las Vegas hotels hosting grand shows there are round-the-clock possibilities to indulge in. Maybe you've got your eye on a show someone excitedly told to you about or you've read continuous rave reviews about another. Whether your heart's been set on specific Las Vegas show tickets or you're happy to see any one of the top shows, the choices are widespread and never-ending.
Las Vegas Shows
There are tons of Las Vegas shows to choose from. We have an extensive inventory for all the headliners and all of the Las Vegas shows. Las Vegas Show tickets are recommended to be purhased in advance- as many Vegas shows enjoy sold-out performances every night. Make sure to do your research and plan at least one of your evenings around seeing a Las Vegas Show!
If you're contemplating buying tickets 'on the street' you need to be careful. Scalping is highly discouraged in Las Vegas and it is illegal. If you are lucky enough to see someone selling tickets outside the venue the day you want to attend, there will probably be an officer nearby just waiting for him to try and sell them to you. Be cautious and if the scalper is very cautious he is probably legit, if he has no worries selling with everyone keeping an eye on you he might be selling you a fake ticket. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist you with your tickets order. We want to ensure your highest level of satisfaction so we can earn you as a customer for life. We are an independent Ticket agency in the business of buying and selling premium and sold out seating. We are NOT affiliated with any Las Vegas show, hotel or casino, Ticketmaster, or any box office, team, promoter, or stadium. Our prices reflect the cost of obtaining quality seating to sold out shows. We do not always sell Vegas show tickets for face value.
Las Vegas is home to some of the world's most exciting and entertaining shows. We offer both cheap Las Vegas show tickets and we are a Las Vegas ticket broker located just off the world famous strip. We are your source for all Las Vegas show ticket needs. You can order safely and securely online.

On Wednesday, I let Ubu speak for himself a bit, through his almanacs. Today, to finish off Ubu week, I'll let Jarry speak for him a bit à son tour. Les Paralipomènes d'Ubu (The Omissions of Ubu) was published in La Revue Blanche at the end of 1896.
Jarry begins by describing Ubu, whom he believes will be misunderstood:
Ce n'est pas exactement Monsieur Thiers, ni le bourgeois, ni le mufle: ce serait plutôt l'anarchiste parfait, avec ceci qui empêche que nous devenions jamais l'anarchiste parfait, que c'est un homme, d'oú couardise, saleté, laideur, etc.
He's not exactly Mr. Thiers [former French prime minister and queller of the 1871 Paris Commune], nor a bourgeois, nor a boor: he's more like the perfect anarchist, with that which prevents us from ever becoming the perfect anarchist, a man full of cowardice, filth, ugliness, etc.
I think this goes right to the heart of what Amateur Reader calls "something more horrifying, more empty" than a simple "lust for money and power." The real, true, 100% anarchist—if we want to believe Jarry at least—is just too hardcore. He is not only lawless but completely unbound by social or even physical norms, and unpredictable.
Jarry also describes Ubu physically:
S'il ressemble à un animal, il a surtout la face porcine, le nez semblable à la mâchoire supérieure du crocodile, et l'ensemble de son caparaçonnage de carton le fait en tout le frère de la bête marine la plus esthétiquement horrible, la limule.
If he resembles an animal, it's above all in his piggish face, his nose like the upper jaw of a crocodile, and his cardboard tack makes him look like the brother of the most aesthetically horrible marine animal, the horseshoe crab.
I must say, I thought the most aesthetically horrible marine animal would be the walrus—especially considering what Ubu looks like—but I suppose in context the choice makes sense. They are grotesque. Once, years ago, I came upon a great number of them mating, and I would have to say the sight was ubuesquely awful.
Once again, translations from yours truly, and original text collected in the wonderful Tout Ubu, edited by Maurice Saillet. Any Francophone ubuphile should have this book; I was skeptical at first but it's really worth it (not that it's at all expensive, just not readily available in US stores of course). Ubu Week is just about over, so thanks to Amateur Reader, Rise, and any other Ubu readalongers. May your gidouilles always be full!
Not only was this a readalong opportunity for everyone, it also represented Amateur Reader's bibliographing reading challenge. So double thank you for that—wonderful challenge!

About Us
My name is Robin Cleaver and I hope I will soon be welcoming you to the lovely Hotel Santa Fe. As you are using this website to explore the hotel I thought I would give you a brief history of how our how our extraordinary Hotel Santa Fe came to be.
In 1974, on one of my many visits to Oaxaca for business, a friend suggested I visit Puerto Escondido and I immediately fell in love with this beautiful location. At that time Puerto Escondido had only 2000 people, the road in front of the hotel was a burro track, and there was no development along the Zicatela, which was wild and open.
Soon after that first visit, I came back with my wife Barbara and we bought the land where the hotel now sits and set in motion the development of this wonderful spot. It has been a fascinating and difficult project and it has changed our lives. Barbara's enthusiasm and support have been important in this project, and my children, Miles, Bram and Zoila, have grown up with the hotel. Each of them deeply loves Puerto Escondido and Mexico.
As it grew, our project became more than just a family project. It has been a group effort. I could not have built the hotel without the contributions of a core group of friends including my dear friend Dr. Victor Lepe, the late Dr. Irny Kasle, Richard Elmore, and my brother Paul Cleaver. All four of these people have been critical in the realization and success of the hotel.
It has been our good fortune that, from the very first days of opening, we have had the most delightful and fascinating guests. Our guests are a large part of what makes our hotel an interesting place to stay.
Critical to the success of the hotel has been the wonderful staff, some of whom have been with us from the very start. They are truly the gracious heart of the Hotel Santa Fe. They look forward to serving our guests. Our guests who return year after year consider them like family and when you come you will soon feel that way as well.
We look forward to having you visit the Hotel Santa Fe. All of us are sure that you will find the hotel to be as delightful as the many guests who have preceded you have found it. If I happen to be in the hotel when you are here be sure to stop and say hello. I am not here as much as I used to be as we now have a new generation of management.

Ulster Bank to shut down 20 branches in North and South
ULSTER Bank plans to close about 20 branches, it emerged today.
Ten branches will be closed on each side of the border, the bank said.
An Ulster Bank executive detailed the lender's plans to shut offices on a conference call with some staff last month, the Irish Bank Officials Association said in a letter to its members at the bank.
Larry Broderick, the union's general secretary said he was "shocked that an announcement like this was made during a teleconference with no prior consultation with our union".
Trade union officials will now meet executives at Ulster Bank next week.
Branch closures at Ulster would mirror moves by lenders such as Allied Irish Banks and Danske Bank following the property collapse. Ulster Bank parent Royal Bank of Scotland has injected at least €12bn into its unprofitable Irish unit since 2008 to absorb losses since the economy collapsed.

By Trai Cartwright
Part Two of a Six-Part Monthly Series
Am I misguided or perhaps a tad, a bit, a dollop delusional, or are the forces behind the world of storytelling building like a Gangnam-style viral video? Have you felt it too?
I'm convinced this groundswell of creativity has been coming on for the last year or so: more and more folks, both in film and in fiction, have been taken over by the urge not just to write, but to be amazing at it, and to be serious about it. And, as if vindicating these impulses, more and more avenues to publishing and to audiences are arriving by the digibyte-load.
Why do you suppose that is? I know when I worked in Hollywood (pre- and post-Internet/cell phones/Blackberries/Smart phones, etc. etc. etc.), business stopped in August. Had to take our month-long vaca's from living in paradise, don'tcha know. And from mid-December to mid-March everyone was at or thinking about the Holidays, the Sundance Film Festival, the Oscars, Cannes, so no go then either.
These were the times writers wrote in earnest, knowing that the minute the executives and the producers came back, they'd look around and say, "Whoops! Guess I haven't developed any material for a while, and without material, there's no product to sell, and without product selling, I don't get to travel the world on Disney's dime anymore."
And the floodgates for submissions would open wide.
Oh, how I loved September and April.
In the publishing world, August suffers from the same absenteeism because, really, have you tried to live in NYC during that month? Even the AC has AC. And that love of month-long vacations infected a whole nation of agents and editors. (I'm not as familiar with this world -- is there another time to avoid trying to pitch because everyone's on vacation?)
So while our erstwhile moneymen and gatekeepers and greenlighters are fanning themselves in spectacular locales (at least, that's what I wish for them), writers of every ilk are hunkering down.
This is especially seen in the fiction world right now, right this minute. Fall is the time of year we give ourselves a stringent self-evaluation:
How much have we accomplished this past year?
Did it meet our standards and goals?
Do we have anything close to being ready to sell?
What's it going to take to get it there?
Just how seriously we're going to take ourselves for the next twelve months?
Why this brutal going-over now, when everyone else is watching their tans fade and their kids head off to school?
It's Writers Conference season!
This magical time happens twice a year, Fall and Spring, and it's serious stuff. Who among us can't wait to spend our hard-earned money to take classes, network with writers and agents, be inspired by the new author panels and key notes, pitch the future editor or agent of our books? Or are we going to wait for Spring?
The power of a good writer's conference can't be disputed. There are endless stories of writers who were blocked going home charged up to write, writers who did indeed find agents (I'm one of them!) that lead to book sales, writers who learned just the right skill when they needed it, and the business acumen to act on it, writers who remembered who they were, just by being immersed in the stew of their people.
We are your tribe. No one else quite understands you the way we do. And we love you.
Needless to say, I love writers and I love conferences. I teach at several a year, and am always thrilled by the success stories I hear, the vibrant life of the classroom, the prosciutto-stuffed chicken breasts. I love seeing old friends, both presenters and attendees, making new ones, and sitting in on classes so I can keep that learning-part of my writer brain alive.
The Rocky Mountain Fiction Writer's Colorado Gold Conference is one of my all-time favorites. Most of you already know it's coming right up, and I'll be there once again to present. My master class on Friday morning is for the particularly brave and sadistic: "The Only Character Class You'll Every Need." (I'm a big believer in hyperbole and then trying to deliver on my outrageous declarations.)
And on Sunday, I'll be teaching a high-level perspective class called "I. You. Them." This is not just a rehash of your high school English lessons—this is a potent discussion about how story is shaped by POV, and vice versa.
If you haven't been to a conference, maybe it's time to go. If you're going again, I look forward to seeing you there. Regardless, 'tis the season to ask yourself: how serious am I? How serious am I gonna be?

Hi Railroaders and Enthusiasts,
I'm currently an Airline Pilot but before I did this I worked on the Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF. I was a Conductor / Trainman.
I've started a Blog/Website called http://movingthenation.com
Its for Transportation workers/enthusiasts - focusing mostly on railroading but also airline stuff, and maybe in the future some trucking.
I've got about a half-dozen articles up that i thought you might enjoy. It is brand new so I have much work to do, but please do stop by and let me know what you think. By all means post feedback on the site if you have any suggestions for me.

Restaurants of Florence
April 29, 2009 by Gennaro
Filed under Destinations, Features, Food
Editor's Note: This post was written by guest contributor Katie Greenaway.
The center of Florence, Italy has countless ristoranti and trattorie. Which do you choose? The waiters in Piazza Repubblica and Piazza Signoria grab your attention by conversing with you as you skim over the menu. They devise a plan to convince you to eat at their ristorante and then lure you inside. Most give in because of the exhaustion tourists have in the heat of summer and feel they should stay in familiar areas. But what about all the places you are missing outside the touristic center, on the Oltrarno, for example? Walking over the Ponte Vecchio to the other side brings a breath of fresh new smells and vistas. The alleyways hide a lot from the cautious traveler. Walk down one and see what you find.
Quattro Leoni is located on Piazza della Passera. It meets at a crossroads. The ristorante is set on the corner of the piazza that brings the bustle of the city to a gentle whisper. Inside there are about a dozen tables that are full on any given night. In the spring and summer, enjoy lunch outside under the umbrellas. People-watch or bask in the calm and simplicity of the piazza. Reservations are a must on the weekends. Notice the walls, they contain photos of many celebrities that frequent this secluded locale. Yes, even Sting eats here! This spot is very popular because few tourists stroll into Piazza della Passera. This place is usually run by the locals. Be aware when waiting to be seated that there might be some regulars that pop ahead of you. No worries as they will seat you, the staff is very welcoming and kind.
Bevo Vino (left) © Rob React and Tiramisu (right) © Koyochi
Bevo Vino welcomes each patron with warmth and charm. When you enter Bevo Vino you are arriving at an old friend's home. Small secluded table areas with an opportunity to sit alone and enjoy the atmosphere around you. The menu is small with recommendations galore from the wait staff. Seasonal dishes are featured as well as typical desserts like tiramisu, which is a must when in Florence. A few tables are scattered throughout giving you a feel of what it is like to be a local. Smell the fresh tomatoes as they pass by on a plate of bruschetta. They come to the table with kindness and smiles. Prego, cosa volete? (My pleasure, what would you like?) I don't know any other place in Florence as bona fide and personable. It's so fresh and genuine that it's worth a stop off the beaten path.
Cross Over To Oltrarno © Katie Greenaway
Osteria Antica Mescita San Niccolo is a family run osteria that gives each patron a sense of home. Tables are booths and you could end up sitting next to people you don't know. There is a lower level with tables arranged like in a cantina; all you need is a barrel of wine. A cute little bar sits in the left corner where you pay and where the waitress picks up your dishes. All guests leave here happy. As some osterias are rather pricey, this one is worth every penny. Each day their menu consists of specialties made from the heart and soul. Both located in San Niccolo, you will notice as night falls how the locals flock into crossroads between Bevo Vino and Osteria Antica Mescita San Niccolo. Immerse yourselves with the sounds of authentic Florence. Experience small cars honking as they squeeze through people-crowded streets, the chatter of Italian banter, and the clinging of glasses and dishes which allows us to realize we aren't dreaming.
Katie Greenaway fell in love with Italy from her first visit in 2002. She now calls it home, writing and capturing the culture of the enchanting city of Florence. She is always exploring the ancient cobblestones of Florence, one step at a time. Follow her blog: Olio di Oliva e Sogni di Vino and Twitter.

Multi-tree Monte Carlo
-point Correlations
This extends our work on exact algorithms for computing
-point correlations. The weakness of that approach is that it is slow for large radii (though for very large radii it becomes fast again). We have developed a new form of Monte Carlo method which utilizes the
recursion tree
of the
-tree exact algorithm to generate strata for stratified sampling. Formulating
-point correlations in terms of binomial sampling yields a confidence band for the whole procedure. This unique combination of geometry and sampling results in a dramatic speedups over the exact algorithm for large search radii, and is undergoing validation by our astrophysicist collaborators. This will be submitted very soon.
Adaptive Monte Carlo Methods
I have developed algorithms which combine diverse ideas to achieve unique new kinds of Monte Carlo strategies. In an unbiased sampling method, the error due to
approximation is given exactly by the variance. Thus such approximate methods can yield speedups in cases where our usual exact algorithms are not efficient, yet still yield rigorous error bounds.
FIRE: Function Integration by Reconstruction
High-dimensional Integrals
∫ f(x) dx
Bayesian inference is severely bridled by its need to compute difficult integrals. Markov Chain Monte Carlo is the main viable tool but can be slow and problematic in practice, and no effective general method exists for some integrals such as the Bayesian normalization constant. I have derived a new alternative method for general integration. From `first principles' (of Monte Carlo variance reduction), I cast the integration problem as one of statistical estimation (nonparametric regression), using a new risk functional which directly measures integration error. This method treats the normalization constant problem and exhibits favorable performance compared to existing methods where function evalution is expensive, as in large-dataset inferences. After some more experimental studies, this work should be submitted soon.

Here we are in our hotel room in Copenhagen. I'm staring at the bed in the darkened room and looking forward to creeping between its sheets.
It's been a long day. We didn't start out on the journey anywhere close to 09:00. It was more like 10:45 before we got going. We were up and about in time; it's just that it takes a long time to pack the car, turn off the floor heating, put thermostats on holiday mode, program the lights to come on in the house while we're away, etc.
With surprisingly few stretches of unrestricted autobahn and several stops for lunch and the call of nature, we didn't roll into the German ferry port of Puttgarden until around 17:30. It was very busy there, with most of the cars sporting Swedish plates. Judging by the number of such cars, the omnipresent ski-rack on top and the presence of children inside, I'd guess that Swedish schools had their half-term holiday last week and that most of these families were returning from skiing trips in Bavaria, Austria or Switzerland. Honestly, the Swedes outnumbered the Danes by about five to one.
By the time we had rolled to the front of the queue and purchased our ferry ticket, we were just in time to miss the 17:45 sailing. We were literally the first car that didn't make it on. No matter, though; the next crossing was only half an hour away: enough time for a toilet break.
And the crossing to Rødby in Denmark was a fun one, as it provided an interesting glimpse of Scandinavian behaviour.
Although the crossing lasts only forty-five minutes, the passengers make excellent use of the time, racing around the duty-free shops to load up on fags and booze, and then scurrying to the on-board restaurants to scoff down curried sausage and chips. There were Danish pastries, too, of course, but those seemed to be less popular.
The ferry also had a children's playing area, which Eloïse greatly appreciated. She wasn't put off by the older children playing on it, and steamed straight in to make use of the slide.
Once we hit Danish soil, it was a straight 175 km drive through the rain and darkness to Copenhagen, where we were astonished to find that that it took no time at all to drive straight to our hotel in the centre of town. There was almost no traffic, even though it's Saturday night. We pulled up outside at about 20:40.
A late dinner was had at Chit Chat, just around the corner from the hotel, on Sankt Peders Stræde. Pricey, but good.
The heroine of the day is Eloïse. She has been as good as gold for the entire journey. No complaints about the length of time spent strapped into her car-seat, no soiled underpants, no tantrums, no moodiness… nothing. She even behaved well at this evening's restaurant, in spite of the lateness of the hour. What a daughter. She really made the drive an enjoyable one. Without her cooperation, it could and would have been a living hell.
Anyway, I need some sleep. I can't wait to get outside in the morning and see what the city has to offer.

A Brief Tribute to Stooges Guitarist Ron Asheton
Unfortunately tragedy has struck the rock and roll community yet again. Earlier this week Ron Asheton, guitarist for the Stooges was found dead in his home, apparently from a heart attack at age 60.
I don't even know where to begin with just how much this news effects me. When I first started listening to the Stooges it was the massively fuzzy and rough guitar work of Asheton that immediately struck me and changed not only the way I looked at what made music "heavy"... but also how I approached and played guitar myself. That played a big part in why back when I first started the Soul of Rock 'n' Roll site, the Stooges were one of the first bands I wanted to pay tribute to... to raise awareness of just much of an imprint Ron, brother Scott (drums), Dave Alexander (bass) and the infamous Iggy Pop, left on rock and roll.
Although a lot of time has passed since since I wrote that piece and I could probably rewrite it with new insights, examples and feelings, I believe that the core of the article is still 100% true: that the Stooges are one of the best bands in rock and roll history. You can read that piece here: Overlooked and Over Simplified; Why The Stooges are Rock & Roll Cultural Icons.
The first three Stooges albums are classic works, must haves for any fans of the proto punk or hard rock movement and easily some of the best rock albums of all time in my opinion. Asheton's guitar tone was a big part of what made the Stooges the band they are and those albums so great. Gritty and raw, driving and powerful, psychedelic and experimental all at once... he provided the perfect vehicle for Iggy Pop's on stage aggression and persona. It's hard to imagine what the Stooges or later bands like the White Stripes, the Black Keys and even Black Sabbath would be like without Asheton's unique guitar tone and style. Other players might have been technically more proficient, but Asheton had energy... raw, primal, visceral energy. He truly played like no other, like a live wire directly to the most primal of human emotions.
A couple of years ago the Stooges returned to stages and showed why they still rocked harder than most of the younger bands around. I couldn't think of too much of a better tribute to the force that was Ron Asheton and the Stooges than the sight of the band on tour again 2007, almost inciting a riot during "No Fun" at the end of their shows. No band can compare to the Stooges in terms of unbridled power.
On this sad day I'd like to offer condolences to Asheton's family, band mates and friends, as well as to all the Stooges fans world wide. Let's all give a few Stooges albums a listen as a tribute to a great musician and guitarist: Ron Asheton.

I certainly hope not. For my sake.
no that is false . theres someone for everybody even the less attractive
sure- by other ugly people
No. Not true at all. Beautiful people have the problem of being told they are loved when only their physical beauty is being admired.
what ugle? come on there someone for everyone
Have you seen Lyle Lovett? Julia Roberts was married to him for about a week.
Define 'ugly people'? do you mean looks or on the inside? If it's looks then is someone who was a supermodel at 20, has a car accident at 30, has corrective surgery at 40, then meets the love of her life at 50 who happens to be blind and thinks the person has a truly beautiful personality.... when was the person ugly/ordinary/pretty/stunning?
Everyone can and is loved.:)

Thank you so much for sharing
This condo was very clean, plenty of room an was well supplied with what could possibly be needed for our stay. Screened in Lanai was wonderful. Very peaceful, laid back enviroment an is family oriented. Condo very convenient. Owner makes a great effort to make sure her guests are happy an satisfied with their unit an wants to make sure that the unit is what you expected. If you are a germ a phobe you must stay here. This is one of the cleanest most peaceful relaxing condos I have ever stayed in. Get any needed groceries at Jerry's located on island. If you are going to be out at night take bug sprays. We will definitely be back.
We had such a fabulous week at our stay in Sanibel at B36. The condo was clean, updated and had additional items not expected with a rental (beach chairs, beach towels, beach toys, kitchen amenities). We would highly recommend this unit to any families - it was perfect! The owners even called to check in on us when there was a power burst at the unit (albeit, very short) due to weather, to make sure everything was going well.
We have just spent the most relaxing week on Sanibel in B36 and would like to thank the Bennetts... The Condo is fabulous the facilities are second to none and we couldn't have asked for better.... This is the 3rd Condo we have stayed in at Pointe Santo and by far our favourite.... If you haven't done already Get the Sanibel Island experience... And definitely stay here.... X X x
This condo is 100% as described. I would highly recommend. Owners are very nice ( even though we have never met). It seems like we have know them forever. Kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and gadgets galore. Washer and dryer really come in handy. Pool very clean. This is the first time we have been to Sanibel and will not be the last. There was lots of storage in this unit. The lanai is very relaxing to have any meals or just to enjoy a glass of wine. We went for a relaxing get away and that is exactly what we got. Thumbs up for this rental. Can not wait to return.
I love this condo! This was my second year in B36 & I recommend it highly! It's beautiful & comfortable. The condo has all the immenities of home including a fully equipped kitchen & much beach parphanilla! I promise you will lack nothing while staying in this lovely home! The Master bedroom is very private & the master bath is lovely with lots of storage. I love the view from the lanai & spent many evenings there reading & enjoying a nice glass of wine or two! It's perfect! You can watch the sun come up in the morning on the lanai & walk down to the beach for the sunset. I highly recommend this lovely home for your next vacation destination! Pointe Santo is my favorite place to stay on Sanibel. B36 is the perfect vacation home for a family, a loving couple or a single person like me just wanting the perfect Sanibel getaway! And the shelling is pretty darn good too!
We visited Sanibel for the first time over twenty years ago and have since spent most of our holiday time on the Island. We are a UK based family living in a small Village in the centre of England. We try to spend at least two months each year in Sanibel enjoying biking, shelling, tennis, Ding Darling, the restaurants, the weather and pure relaxation. This, without any doubt is our favourite holiday destination.
Marcelle Bennett purchased this condo in 2005
Pointe Santo de Sanibel is without any doubt one of the best holiday destinations on Sanibel Island. It's central location at the southern tip of the Island makes it very accessible to the best beaches, wildlife preserves, shopping and restaurants whilst being in a tranquil and peaceful location with just the sound of the waves, the wildlife and the palm trees around the complex. Pointe Santo and its grounds are beautifully maintained and their are a wide range of Condo's to choose from all looking towards 600 feet of white golden sand. There is an on site Recreation Manager who organises a wide range of children's activities throughout the week and there are also well maintained tennis courts and and BBQ grills. You can relax on one of Pointe Santo's beach chairs all day looking out to the Gulf and in the evening you can walk down the beach to the nearest restaurant and enjoy a wonderful meal. Pointe Santo is a wonderful family holiday destination as well as being a place for a romantic holiday or just a place to relax and unwind. When you talk to other Pointe Santo visitors you will probably meet people who have been returning sometimes in excess of twenty years and even some adults who visited as children. Pointe Santo is very special and very different from most US holiday destinations.
We have stayed in various units in Pointe Santo and we decided to buy B36 when it was marketed for sale; we simply fell in love with it. The Gulf front units at Point Santo are nice, but most only have a view of the sea and at night nothing. B36 has the benefit of both near sea views and views into the lagoon and the beautifully maintained Pointe Santo grounds. As we enjoy eating out in the Lanai throughout the year, this combined with the luxurious accommodation were key reasons for choosing to buy our Condo.
Our Condo is our second home. It is not a typical rental in that it is beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped. Most of our Guests are surprised by the quality and comfort.
We enjoy dining on the Lanai in the daytime overlooking the Gulf and the Pointe Santo grounds. In the evening, the mood changes whilst having a candlelit dinner looking down into the attractive grounds. Our Condo is also ideally suited for beach walkers and shell collectors in being able to walk either east or west along one of Sanibel's best beaches on its southern tip. Similarly, in being centrally positioned on the Island, we are able to take full advantage of the Islands 24 miles of bike paths. We are well positioned to bike ride to Ding Darling Wildlife Reserve and also east to the Sanibel Lighthouse. The central location is also useful for ease of access by bike or car to a wide range of restaurants. We also enjoy an early morning game of tennis followed by swimming and the hot tub just yards from our Condo. We also enjoy lazy days having a BBQ lunch in one of Pointe Santo's Tiki Huts and crashing out on the beach chairs in the afternoon, knowing that the Condo is handy for cocktails and the odd treat.
A unique benefit is knowing that just a few yards away from our Condo, we have an on site Property Manager there to help you whenever required. Only a handful of Condo's at Pointe Santo have this unique service.
''Pool, Hot Tub/Jacuzzi, Gas BBQ's, Tennis, Children's activities available on site.''

I have hacked up the code (but not yet the documentation) to support this, but I found out that there's at least one place where this definition of the field semantics is a bit awkward. The issue is that this definition presupposes that we want to complain about a table or a domain, never both, because we're overloading both the SCHEMA_NAME and CONSTRAINT_NAME fields for both purposes. This is annoying in validateDomainConstraint(), where we know the domain constraint that we're complaining about and also the table/column containing the bad value. We can't fill in both TABLE_NAME and DATATYPE_NAME because they both want to set SCHEMA_NAME, and perhaps not to the same value. Since the error report is about a domain constraint, I don't have a big problem deciding that the domain has to win this tug-of-war. And it could easily be argued that if we had separate fields and filled in both, an application could get confused about whether we meant a table constraint or a domain constraint. (As submitted, the patch would definitely have made it look like we were complaining about a table constraint.) But it's still annoying that we can't represent all the info that is in the human-readable message. I'm not sure we should allow corner cases like this to drive the design; but if anyone has an idea about a cleaner way, let's hear it. regards, tom lane

Here is how Manchester City and Chelsea will line up this afternoon:
Manchester City welcome current Premier League champions Chelsea to the Etihad Stadium later today in a huge match for both sides.
City won their opening game of the new campaign 3-0 away to West Bromwich Albion, giving them the best possible start, but Chelsea dropped two points at home to Swansea City and Jose Mourinho's side will not want to go two matches without a victory.
That will be easier said than done against a City side that looks like it plans on going all out to regain the title in the months ahead.
Chelsea do however have a good recent record against City, winning two and drawing two of their last four encounters. But with just one win in their last seven visits to the Etihad this really could go either way.
City have the fire-power to cause Chelsea plenty of problems, and the visitors' defence will have to improve considerably from last weekend to keep the likes of Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling at bay.
Man City lineup
- Joe Hart
- Aleksandar Kolarov
- Vincent Kompany
- Eliaquim Mangala
- Bacary Sagna
- Fernandinho
- Jesús Navas
- David Silva
- Yaya Touré
- Sergio Agüero
- Raheem Sterling
Substitutes: Willy Caballero, Gaël Clichy, Martín Demichelis, Pablo Zabaleta, Samir Nasri, Wilfried Bony, Kelechi Iheanacho.
Chelsea lineup
- Asmir Begovic
- César Azpilicueta
- Gary Cahill
- Branislav Ivanovic
- John Terry
- Cesc Fàbregas
- Eden Hazard
- Nemanja Matic
- Ramires
- Willian
- Diego Costa
Substitutes: Jamal Blackman, Kurt Zouma, Juan Cuadrado, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, John Obi Mikel, Falcao, Loïc Remy.

|Frank Lavine
I was born at the West End of Boston, Massachusetts on 3rd April 1924. Both my parents came from the vicinity of Kovno, Lithuania. My father was a truck driver, and my mother kept home and later became a seamstress. I had no formal Jewish education but spoke only Yiddish until I was six-years-old. My neighborhood was made up of almost all Yiddish-speaking Jews. When I was 10 I was taught to sail by an old Yankee Brahmin who set up a sailing club on the nearby Charles River for the kids of the neighborhood. Later, I learned to sail larger boats and spent some time sailing off the Atlantic coast until I left to join the military.
I volunteered for the Army Air Force during World War II and served from 1942 until 1946. For a short period during my service I was stationed at Chanute Field, Illinois. There, not too far away at the University of Illinois, I met some young Jews who were studying agriculture with the intention of immigrating to Palestine when the war was over. In our many conversations they learned that I had sailing experience. We kept in touch. After my discharge from the Army I received a call from New York asking if I would help the Jews. A short time later I was on my way to Baltimore and the "SS President Warfield" – the "Exodus."
I worked on the ship until we shoved off for Europe. We were involved in a storm at sea and returned for repairs that kept us from our mission for a while. We arrived in France and moved to various ports, preparing the ship for our passengers. We loaded the ship in France and then sailed. We were at sea in international waters when we were attacked by the British. After the battle, in which I received a head wound, some of the crew, myself included, were put on prison ships. I stayed with the passengers on the "Ocean Vigour" all the time that these prison ships were off the coast of France. This was in July and the weather was very hot and uncomfortable. After some weeks we were given an ultimatum and sailed for Germany.
We were beaten off the ships at Hamburg, Germany, where I was wounded again. I was a prisoner at Poppendorf camp in Germany until our escape. Few people born in the United States have gone through the experience of displaced persons. Twelve members of the "Exodus" crew did, and I'll try to tell about this little-known part of the story. This is the Odyssey seen mostly through my eyes about twelve crew members who traveled through post-war Germany carrying false papers and disguised as refugees. In his book entitled "Exodus 1947" David Holly mentions this incident, but doesn't go into great detail.
David Millman, Dov Miller, Lennie Sklar, Reuven Margolis, Shmuel Schiller, Avie Siegal, Davi Staryck, Vevie Siegal, Myron Goldstein, Ben Foreman, Shmuel Baer and I made up this group. At least one-quarter of the crew hadn't been smuggled off the ship in Haifa. Some of us chose to stay with the refugees. Needless to say, this was a definite morale builder for us, as it was, too, for the refugees. They had found it difficult to believe that any soft "Americaner" would stay and share whatever would befall them.
This portion of the story took us across Germany from the British zone through a series of displaced persons camps, and then into the American zone, and from there to France. It wasn't until we got out of Germany that we could resume our real identities. The false excuse that the bricha used to smuggle us out of the American zone of Germany was for us to take jobs in France. After being driven off the prison ship "Ocean Vigour" by club-swinging English troops in Hamburg, we were put on heavily-guarded trains and taken to the Poppendorf and Amstau internment camps. Most of us ended up in Poppendorf. This was in the British zone because that was the only zone they could take us to. The place had been hastily prepared and upon arrival I saw Ukrainians putting the final touches to the barbed wire surrounding the camp.
We were constantly watched by the English soldiers who were in guard towers around the perimeter. I'm sure this arrangement was very similar to prison camps in Atlit and later, in Cyprus. We quickly adjusted to the primitive living conditions. Hoping to break our morale, our captors immediately put us on the German civilian ration of 1,100 calories a day. We had to begin marking time. Immediately the groups began to reorganize, setting up schools and adult study groups to learn Hebrew. The refugees were very resilient and took everything in their stride; they had been through so much already that nothing seemed to faze them. We took our clues from fellow refugees and adjusted as best we could, making friends and scrounging like the others. This also gave us an opportunity to improve our Yiddish because most of the people in the camp spoke it. Lennie Sklar disappeared for a few days and when we next saw him we discovered that he had been smuggled out of the camp into the Russian zone, where he had searched for relatives from Lithuania.
After a few weeks, the JDC began supplementing our rations. Once a week we got a can of sweetened condensed milk, a can of sardines, a small carton of Gruyère cheese and a pack of cigarettes. I have no idea who decided to get us out of detention, but after a while we were told to prepare to leave. We packed our few belongings into sacks and stood by. The bricha had arranged for a soccer team from another displaced persons camp to come to Poppendorf camp to play one of our teams. Very simply, after the game the players from the visiting team remained and we replaced them on the truck that had brought them in. The British had the same count as they had before and we were out of the gate and on our way. Lübeck, a short drive from our prison camp, was our first stop, and there we were given our first decent meal in what seemed to me to have been a private mansion. We were then outfitted with new clothes. These clothes must have come from a warehouse nearby, and were something to see. The problem was that every bit of clothing given to us matched almost exactly every other garment. We were all dressed alike! After our meal and clothing change, we were again put on a truck and began our two-day trip to Munich. Our driver was from the bricha. These people worked all over Europe and their job was to smuggle refugees across borders and to drive the vehicles that transported them from displaced persons camps to ports where they would board the Aliyah Bet ships. These guys were real characters; they were Jews, mostly deserters from the Russian and Polish armies. They were tough and thought that because we were Americans we were soft and they called us "chocoladniks" and offered us rotgut vodka that could eat your insides out, but we drank it toast-for-toast with them to show them that we could take it.
The bricha had a variety of trucks at their disposal. No questions were asked about where they had originated, but all those I saw had United Nations Relief Agency markings. Once again all of us got into our truck and began our trip to the American zone. We had one more stop in the British zone and that was at the JDC center which was at the site of the infamous Bergen-Belsen camp. There we were welcomed by Jean Jaffe, who was in charge of operations there for the JDC. I remember asking her to write my mother to let her know that I was safe. I still have that letter.
I remember driving through Nuremberg very early in the morning and thinking of the trials of the German war criminals taking place there. We weren't far from Munich when an unforgettable incident occurred. The truck stopped suddenly and in a moment the canvas cover that hid us from view was pulled back and an American soldier peered into the back of the vehicle and yelled, "Hey Serge, look what we've got here." In a moment the sergeant came over and looked at us and said, "Okay, everybody out!" I saw as soon as we were out that this was an American constabulary military police roadblock which consisted of a squad of soldiers, one on a jeep with a 50-caliber machine gun. The sergeant, who spoke some broken German, lined us up and began to ask questions. First he asked for our papers, which were as phony as hell. Of course we were very nervous, and when he started to question me I began to shake. Quickly, the bricha guy lit me a cigarette (butts were politically correct then). I calmed down and answered in my best Yiddish that I didn't know why my meal card had so many stamps. I shrugged my shoulders and said, "When they stamp, they stamp." We were finally allowed to leave, but not before the soldier on the jeep handling the machine gun shouted to the sergeant, "Let them through, Serge, and I'll cut them through like winter wheat." Needless to say, we were in shock but couldn't say a word that might blow our cover; we were not supposed to know English. We kept quiet and got back on the truck. I, who had been out of the American Army and had worn the same uniform about a year before this, had to bite my tongue.
We continued to the outskirts of Munich and were quickly taken to another safe house run by the bricha. This was a cloister, Indersdorf, an UNRRA children's shelter in a Catholic monastery. We spent quite a while there, living in a dormitory room heated by a large wood-fed porcelain stove. It was here that we had our first hot bath and laundered clothes. After a while we were told to prepare for our final leg of the escape from Germany. Again we were photographed and issued new false papers; this time we were being taken into France as immigrant workers with special skills. My new name was Albert Zeidner and I came from a place called Planneg, just outside of Munich, and I was now an electric technician. Again we were transferred by truck to Funk Kaserne, a former Nazi army barracks in Munich, to await transport to take us to France and to freedom.
