I plan on just using the ipod and adding some apps. I am thinking that I will use iActivator to activate.
But my question is:
Will I be able to activate mine with rogers when their service is available?

Daniel Kaplan Talks About Pocket Edition;
Posted 18 April 2012 - 09:08 PM
Daniel Kaplan recently held a Q&A session regarding Minecraft: Pocket Edition on twitch.tv! He was asked a massive volume of questions about the hit pocket game, and addressed a good number of them - all said, the session lasted nearly 2 hours! Kaplan covered a staggering amount of information, including the possibility of texture packs and music, more monsters (with creepers possibly having priority), redstone and much more. If you're clamoring for a taste of what Pocket Edition has in store, definitely click this link and give the session a watch! Note that it's in three parts, but all are listed on the page.
Perhaps I shouldn't have built so many creeper statues taunting them...Daniel suggests that their arrival will be "soon". They will want revenge, no doubt.

Good to hear about the Charity Event being posted up as well, we are hoping this is going to have a great turnout.
Our aim is to get the community together and to raise as much funds as possible to those who are less fortunate than others.
Also on a note, for people who missed it, don't forget to sign up! They are looking for players and streamers, I have had a sneak peak of the maps and they are surely impressive and the setup list and guest list is looking extremely promising too.

Yeah, I'm not interested in watching that whole thing... anyone who did want to give us a rundown/summary?
It's pretty long...
In short, he said
-The next update will include crafting (and he said caves will be added eventually).
-Pocket edition will have music eventually
-Biomes are currently top priority
-They will maybe not make a Nexus version, its unsure.
-Texture packs are easy to API so we might see easy texture pack-ing in the future.
-Currently, they are not working on long-distance servers, it is too hard
-They are adding lots the stuff from the PC version, though not all, because they "want to create a version optimized for the touch device"
-The new mob AI is "not efficient" and would drain the battery of your device. They will make it different, if at all, on PE.
-Since PE is in C++, it takes longer to do stuff
-He will not give us a changelog until the update is released.
-Villages are a possibility.
-TNT will be added when it is craftable, so when creepers are added.
-Update could possibly be this week, it has been submitted.
-Multiplayer Chat is not a priority, since right now the person you are playing with is normally sitting next to you.
-They will not release PE for low end devices, such as Galaxy tablets.
-Infinite worlds are probably not possible on most devices that PE supports.
-Pocket Edition will eventually have features the computer version does not, but those are subject to change at any time.
-The Nether and The End have been disputed for PE, it just depends on the capacity of phones. "Maybe it won't even be called The Nether" he stated, "Maybe it will be something else."
-Daniel is very exited about the game!
-The Camera will be used to take pictures of your creations easily, but he had some problems with it, so it will be implemented later.
-Caves will be implemented once we get a better FPS.
-They will consider higher render distances on powerful devices such as powerful tablets (iPad FTW!)
-Concerning the hunger bar, he said: "Not right now."
-They have discussed skins, but they will probably not add a way to change skins legitimately until long-distance multiplayer is added.
[b]-Skip to 1:11:28 to see Daniel demonstrate the new update ![/b]
-There is now a pause button in the top corner, since the normal one has bee replaced with "Craft".
-We will be able to mine ores when we get furnaces.
-They have worked on adding Redstone, but can't get it to work with a good FPS. It will be added when we get a good FPS, like caves!
There were also lots of trolls I didn't mention and many unimportant questions. It is definitely worth it to skip to 1:11:28 and watch him demonstrate the crafting though.
Remember +1s are appreciated!

If people would take their apple blinders off they'd be much better off with android devices.
Posted 19 April 2012 - 12:37 PM
The iPad is not a powerful tablet, it's an mid range tablet sold at high end tablet prices.
If people would take their apple blinders off they'd be much better off with android devices.
couldn't agree more with you buddy

A magical new novel "of loss and love across more than a century of Cuba's past."(Chicago Sun-Times)"Passionate...satisfying."
Alone in a city that haunts her, far from her family, her history, and the island she left behind, Cecelia seeks refuge in a bar in Little Havana where a mysterious old woman's fascinating tale keeps Cecelia returning night after night. Her powerful story of long-vanished epochs weaves the saga of three families from far-flung pieces of the world whose connection forms the kind of family that Cecelia has long been missing-one cast from legendary, unbreakable love.

I need a hanger for my bike. I straightened it today while on the road (not sure how it got bent, probably got knocked over by my kids. I looked on line and wheels manufacturing makes one (#106) but it doesn't say that it is for models older than 2009.
Is this the hanger I need? Is there something better I should be looking for? The one on the bike is weakened and I have no spares.

- " Really lovely neighborhood (Bloomsbury!) with the hostel just across the street from the British Museum and a 5 minute walk across Russell Square to the Russell Square underground station. The hostel itself was clean, lots of options for breakfast, friendly guests and staff, and my room was quiet (with the exception of how loud the grate lockers under the bed were). I am female and was traveling alone and never felt unsafe or vulnerable at the hostel or in the neighborhood around it. "
- 15 Jan 2014 Amy USA
- " Really obnoxiously loud grate lockers under the beds. Can't use them without waking everybody up. Bathrooms could have been cleaner. 4th floor bathroom had water on the floor constantly. Shower curtains were a tad moldy around the edges. "

- " Astor Museum Inn is a great hostel I would recommend. Location is very central, cleanliness okay staff helpful and friendly. "

By Alex Szczesny, Marking Director
Every New Years, instead of looking ahead towards the future and to new possibilities, I find myself looking backwards. See, each year on January 1st (or in this case, the 2nd) I sit down to watch the NHL Winter Classic. I love watching the annual outdoor game and I find myself jealous of the people in the crowd.
On January 1st 2008, the first Winter Classic was held at Ralph Wilson Stadium in our own backyard. The experience was easily among the best I have ever had. I think what made it so special, was the novelty of the game itself. The weeks leading up to it, nobody knew what to expect or even how everything would look. Each Winter Classic has added an alumni game, or an AHL or NCAA game. Now, the parking lots are filled with corporate sponsors and fancy private and VIP tailgating sections or multiple stages of entertainment. The Winter Classic has evolved into such a polished and well-planned event, it's the highlight of the NHL calendar.
This is not to say that the current games have "sold-out," but sometimes you just need to get into some trouble on your own and veer from the beaten path. For the inaugural Winter Classic, a group of about 15-20 guys in about 5 or 6 cars left for the stadium around 8:30am. We arrived in Orchard Park bright and early and started to set up our tailgating gear, but the weather was not cooperating. The wind was blowing snow sideways and in an instant, I thought I would be in for 3 hours of misery. In true Buffalo fashion, here I was freezing my butt off (with an adult beverage or two) determined to make the most of the day. After a few minutes in doubt, the hockey gods answered our call and the weather broke and produced a cool, yet snow free morning. Instead of any NHL sponsored pavilion or entertainment (as I mentioned, the first one had very little planned), we partied like it was like a late season Bills game. It was just cold drinks, colder weather and my very best friends.
When I got to my seat, I was flanked by my best friend and my dad and we were in the upper level near the net the Sabres defended in the 1st period. It bothers me that the NHL keeps having the Winter Classic in baseball stadiums. I understand that they're easier to use and there are no worries about scheduling conflicts with late season or playoff football, but a ballpark just doesn't work for the fans. Fans are too far away in a baseball stadium and the rink is built all the way out in shallow center field. The seats closer to the rink are in the endzones and the seats closer to center ice are behind home plate and farther away. It seems like there is no "perfect" spot.
The game had a rough start as the Penguins scored in the first minute and I thought we could be in for a long afternoon. The rest of the first was played to a stalemate and by now the weather was starting to bother me. After being outdoors since 9am, it doesn't matter how many layers you have on, it will get cold. It turns out all I needed to warm me up was a Brian Campbell goal to tie the game in the 2nd! Much like the first goal (and both in the shootout), it took place right in front of me. It was in the second period that this event truly became unforgettable to all involved. The snow started to fall in Western New York and produced a great snow globe effect to everyone watching at home. The wind died down and everything looked so pretty. It's something I will remember forever.
There was no scoring the rest of the game, or in overtime, though the Sabres had many great chances. It was from here that history would be written as Sidney Crosby would score in the shootout and win the game for Pittsburgh. It was the most ideal ending for the league of course as its biggest star scores the game winner, but the hype around Crosby has turned him into public enemy number 1 in many NHL cities, including Buffalo.
Ending aside, nothing more could be asked of the event. The NHL's second ever outdoor game (first in the US) looked great on TV and it was exciting down to the last shot. The 71,000 plus hockey fans were loud the whole game and you'd be hard pressed to find someone who didn't have a fabulous time. This is why with each New Year, I find myself wanting to relive that same afternoon over and over. I have been to the Stanley Cup Finals, NCAA Frozen Four and numerous other football, baseball and lacrosse games and I can easily place the Winter Classic in my Top 3 Event Experiences. If you are a hockey fan, or at the very least interested in those marquee events on the sports calendar, you NEED to catch the next Winter Classic live and cross it off your bucket list.
A picture from my seats on that snowy afternoon in 2008.

New Kid's View
Family lured Jerrianne and her husband to South Milwaukee in 2002 from Southern California where she worked as, first, a journalist, then, as a court information officer. She now stays busy with media-relations consulting, playing with her three grandchildren (part of the lure), writing, discovering her new environs, and hoping her garden will produce before the first fall frost.
SMHS music, other programs face axe?
This from South Milwaukee Alderman Jim Shelenske:
Monday, March 1st (tonight) 6:30PM -
Garlic Mustard Picking for St. Patty's Day
South Milwaukee's Garlic Mustard Pickers Celtic band will be in full swing in observance of St. Patrick's Day. The band will be playing at the following locations and events:
Sunday March 14, 2010
Grant Park Golf Course Clubhouse, 100 Hawthorne Ave, South Milwaukee
"The Pullin' O' the Green" (It's the annual fundraiser for Friends of Grant Park, and it's South Milwaukee's best Irish party!)
Check out details at www.fogp.org for where to buy advance tickets ($10), which will get you guaranteed seating for either the 4:30 or 6:30 dinner.
Tickets will also be sold at the door ($12), but availability of seats (and tickets) will be "iffy" at that point, depending on how many tickets had been sold in advance.
Wednesday March 17 (St. Pat's Day!)
Carleton Grange Pub, 3807 So. Packard Ave, St. Francis
Thursday March 18, 2010
Sheridan's Cafe, 5133 So. Lake Drive, Cudahy
A Good Government Story
Sure, government has its flaws, but the current fad of demonizing government it almost to the point of sounding traitorous really gets to me.
The people participating in and cheering this movement on rail against having to pay taxes and fearmonger about "socialism." Yet they benefit every day and in so many ways from government services and infrastructure, including being able to travel on publicly funded (socialized) roadways to get to their rallies, gathering at government buildings and grounds to hold their protests, and relying on publicly funded airwaves to convey their messages.
Happiest Place to Live
WPR's Kathleen Dunn's 9 a.m. program today featured Grand Haven, Michigan, Mayor Roger Bergman to talk about the 'happiest towns' in the country and what makes a community a happy place to live in. Lots of great calls from listeners -- including mine. The point I wanted to make is that 'happy' is what a person makes it. My husband, a 21-year-career U.S. Air Force officer, and I lived many places in this country and others and I can honestly say we liked them all, including Tehran, Iran, where we lived in 1978 and the first few days of 1979 during the run-up to the Islamic Revolution.
And now that we've lived in South Milwaukee for coming up on eight years, I can honestly say that we not only like it here, we love it.
Notes from E.W. Luther
E.W. Luther Elementary School's annual Ice Cream Social and Raffle Fundraiser last night was a ROARING success! In a couple of ways.
One is literally, in the sense that I should have worn ear plugs.
O' The Green that was Pulled
Enjoyed the fruits of my tax dollars again this evening. And helped a good cause in the process. It was the annual "Pulling O' The Green" dinner and Celtic music fundraiser to benefit Grant Park, held at the Milwaukee County Grant Park Clubhouse. It was a beautiful setting in a beautiful park. The whole idea is to try to keep the park beautiful.
That's become a growing challenge. Milwaukee County has fewer workers per acre than the average metropolitan-area park system -- .30 full-time employees per 1,000 residents versus the .76 full-time employees per 1,000 residents average for all metropolitan areas. Milwaukee County ranks 75 out of 77 metro areas polled. This is according to a Milwaukee County Parks Funding fact sheet available at tonight's event.

Erik Rhodes joins Tristan Jaxx, Dylan Saunders and Rusty Stevens for a couple of hands of strip poker. The clothes start to come off and Erik ends up the big winner. The prize? Anything he wants! The men pair off as Dylan goes to town on Erik's cock; Rusty does likewise with Tristan. Then Dylan eats out Erik's ass while Tristan matches Rusty blow for blow, sucking him off so good he could make a straight man cum. The guys switch things around, trading cocks to suck, holes to fuck. There are no losers in this high stakes game as the four play with each other's clubs. Tristan lucks out with Dylan eating his ass, Rusty sucking his cock and Erik feeding him his own thick dick. And the final ace in the hole is Tristan pile driving his cock into Dylan's unended ass while Rusty fucks Erik until all four shoot their loads.

"A friend previously used Tiny Prints and recommended I try it. I was not disappointed! I ordered the matte cards and return address envelopes and the print quality is fantastic. I asked for a designer review to move a heading on the card so my picture could fit and a proof was emailed to me within 24 hours to approve. Perfect! Also the shipping was extremely fast and I was able to track my order from the US to my home address in Sydney, Australia. I will definitely use this service again in future."
"I loved this announcement! I used the shimmer paper and it gave it that extra sheen that makes it sparkle just a little. I laced a picture on the back with the dark pink background. So perfect."
"I loved this announcement design because it was simple and sweet. It is on the smaller side, it kind of looks like a post card but I actually liked that. I had it printed on the pearl paper, which has a slight shimmer to it and that looked beautiful! I had people comment on how nice the paper was. I was very happy with them."
"The design was exactly what I wanted to announce the birth of my baby girl....romantic and elegant. The card stock and pearlized finish make this stand out as a quality piece. I loved that I could try out different layout/photo options before settling on one. I am very happy with this purchase and I will definitely purchase from tinyprints again."
"Loved sending a postcard christmas card this year. Only flaw with the design is I was not able to modify the back text portion. I wanted to use 2 different size fonts but it would not let me. All in all it worked out great and family loved recieving them."

Five-Piece Panama Pacific Commemorative Set with Original Case of Issue
About Uncirculated to Brilliant Uncirculated
This highly collectible set includes:
A high quality specimen commemorating the Panama Canal and its Exposition at San Francisco. Rich, satiny luster and virtually mark-free fields contribute to this coin's overall appeal and a bit of light obverse toning is icing on the cake. Though the second commemorative half dollar issued, it was the first to have the motto IN GOD WE TRUST included in the design. (PCGS 9357)
A well struck example of this issue features the left-facing bust of a Panama Canal workman; the simple reverse has two dolphins above and below the denomination. A brightly lustrous, light golden example of which just 15,000 pieces were minted. (PCGS 7449)
Original hazy golden color with essentially mark-free surfaces. The 1915-S Panama-Pacific Exposition was held at a time in our history when the art world was casting aside the constraints of its previous straight-laced ways. Many new devices were being tested on America's coinage: matte proofing, rims without denticles, artistic lettering, textured fields, and the like. As can be seen, the coins struck for this expo, such as this attractive quarter eagle, incorporate many of these innovations. Instead of a more mundane design, the artist proposed an unusual motif of Columbia seated on a mythological hippocampus, half-horse, half-sea serpent. The eagle, too, was styled in a new way not seen before on an American production coin. It was modeled upon a similar eagle seen on one of the rare pattern issues. (PCGS 7450)
1915-S $50 Round
The goddess Minerva or Athena wears the crested helmet found on numerous depictions of her in ancient Greek coinage; it is pushed back off her face, to signify peaceful intentions. According to the Breen-Swiatek history of these important $50 coins, "We have not found the exact Greek coin used as prototype of this head, though the crested helmet is of the Athenian type, and there are numerous silver coins of Velia and Corinth showing her in this type of helmet, sometimes wreathed as here, often with other devices on it. Most such types have a long tailpiece to the crest, which is omitted here." On her shield is MCMXV (1915), only the second use of Roman numerals for date in United States coinage history up to that time (the first was the various types of Saint-Gaudens double eagles of 1907). Why Athena or Minerva? She was the goddess of wisdom, skill, agriculture, horticulture, spinning and weaving, crop rotation, among other things, and she taught her followers to grow and use olives, whose oil was long indispensable in cooking and providing light by night. All these were important in early California.
A very pleasing example with glowing mint luster. Only the slightest amount of friction is noted on the highpoints; Minerva's cheek and helmet on the obverse and the owl's wings and legs on the reverse. The surfaces and rims are remarkably clean and free from scratches, dings and other impairments. Designed by Charles Aitken and struck in very limited quantities, which were sold at the Exposition. When the Exposition closed, the unsold coins were melted, freezing the mintage at 483 net pieces. (PCGS 7451)
1915-S $50 Octagonal
During planning for the Panama-Pacific Exposition's coin striking ceremony, the Philadelphia Mint shipped a 14-ton hydraulic press to the fairgrounds for the specific purpose of minting these large $50 gold pieces. (Research has not been able to ascertain how they managed it: probably the press went disassembled by ship). On June 15, the first octagonal pieces were struck at a ceremony which attracted VIPs from all over. The ceremony had been arranged by Farran Zerbe, then possibly the best known numismatist of his day. Zerbe had the political influence to have himself put in charge of the Exposition's Coin and Medal Department, which was named in the authorizing act as responsible for distributing the commemorative coins. Zerbe set up his own collection (over 20,000 specimens after he included additions) in a trellised display area of the Palace of Liberal Arts on the Exposition grounds labeling it Zerbe's Unique Money of the World. It became one of the more popular displays, and the Panama-Pacific Commemorative coins, each with its own story appended, were probably seen by several million visitors between the Exposition's opening February 20 and its close on December 4, 1915.
Soft, hazy golden patina on both sides. Elusive and quite costly as so few were distributed at the time of issue, this barely rubbed example is free of noticeable abrasions. The strike, while almost always sharp, shows clear detail in the stylized leafy branch on the helmet as well as Minerva's cascading hair, and both sides reveal splendid surface preservation. On the $50 octagonal only, there are 8 dolphins on each side inserted between the outer edge and inner circular border. (PCGS 7452)
This five-piece set is currently housed in the original case of issue which is extremely well preserved with no apparent damage and bright gold printing on royal purple satin fabric. Also present is the buff colored card describing each of the five enclosed coins. The purple velvet insert remains fresh with the cutouts for the coins being sharp and well defined. The white outer box is clearly inscribed, PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION COMMEMORATIVE COINS 1915 SAN FRANCISCO, U.S.A.

July 11, 2012
New moms and dads have probably already stocked up on diapers and bottles and even baby-proofed your house. However, healthcare officials in Charlottesville say there's one more thing you should think about before welcoming your newborn home. In this week's Martha Jefferson Healthwise report CBS19's Stephanie Satchell found out why your should also prepare your pet.
It's called "Get Rover Ready." It's a class Martha Jefferson Hospital is putting on to help new parents prepare their dogs for a new baby in the home.
"My role is to educate dog behavior how they view children, how to make sure that they don't get bitten or the child's not getting into the dog's space creating potential for a bite or scratch," said Karen Quillen, teacher of the class.
Quillen starts with teaching the dog a few important commands like how to safely touch the baby.
"You allow the dog to actually sniff. We don't want it to seem like oh my God you can't touch the baby because then the dog will become potentially fearful of the baby or even resentful if they've been the baby of the family for a long period of time," said Quillen.
She says it's also important to monitor the pooch.
"It's a lot of monitoring... teaching a nice down stay while you're nursing. Teaching you get to be with me and the baby as long as you're calm. So it's really teaching the dog not just expecting the dog to know because they don't," said Quillen.
Quillen says the number one rule is to never leave a newborn alone with a dog even if your pet is usually gentle and laid-back.
"You never know. To assume that your dog would never...is kind of like having a gun in the house and assuming that the child will never get the gun. You just can't do that. You have to be aware of the dangers," said Quillen.
She says taking the time to teach your dog how to behave around your new baby could mean the difference between life and death.
Quillen adds not all dogs will be able to handle having a new baby around. She says if you see signs like avoidance and growling, it may be time to reevaluate whether or not your home is the best place for you dog to live.

Garryowen, Montana
7th Ranch RV Camp
[ 4/10 ]
Do not go to this campground if your RV is somewhat clean. The road to get here is unpaved, dusty, and a mess for about one half mile. It is also gravel within the campground and you need to drive about 5 mph. Owner was hostile when I mentioned how bad the road was. She told me that we could have turned around and left. Well, we were already here, so 50% of the damage was done (plus there is nowhere to turn around on that road with a 40' motorhome and tow car). Once at your site, it is a well maintained campground, with great views of the surrounding area. It is very convenient for touring the Little Bighorn Battlefield. Would definitely NOT stay here again because of the roads outside and within the campground.
McCall, Idaho
Ponderosa State Park
[ 10/10 ]
This is one of the nicest state park campgrounds we have ever stayed in. On the picturesque Payette Lake, with a beautiful visitor center and beaches, bike and hiking trails, huge paved sites with tall ponderosa pines between sites, lovely town of McCall close by, and much more. We stayed in the full hookup sites, in loops a and b, with some of the longest sites ever. Two 40' motorhomes and cars can even fit in the huge companion sites available. TV with antenna and Verizon cells worked fine. Beautiful picnic pavilions and new bathrooms. Road into campground is very good. We would recommend this park to anyone.
Island Park, Idaho
Henrys Lake State Park
[ 8/10 ]
Quiet location on a pretty lake surrounded by mountains. Very clean overall, with many large sites with water and electric. Mosquitoes were the only problem, but supposedly it only lasts 2 weeks each year. But we could not spend any time outside because of them. Verizon cell worked great, no TV stations with antenna. We saw the most beautiful sunsets each of the 3 days we stayed. Would definitely stay here again.
Jacob Lake, Arizona
Jacob Lake Campground - USFS
[ 8/10 ]
This is a convenient campground en-route to the North Rim Grand Canyon. There is drinking water available, but no fill up for rvs, so bring your own. The Verizon cell phone worked great here. It is a pretty forested area.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
North Rim Campground (NPS Campground)
[ 9/10 ]
Beautiful forested campground with 5 of the sites overlooking the North Rim (83 total sites). Very quiet and peaceful, even though it was full. Only about 5 sites will accommodate a 40' RV, but all sites are paved. Generator use restricted to 2 hours in morning and 2 hours in evening. We would definitely stay here again.

Semarak Cerlang Nusa had three projects under the Women's Inheritance and Property Rights working group:
SP is an organization concerned with women's rights and empowerment (in the Muslim contexts). It carries out research on the impact of fundamentalist movements on national and local policies, Syariah laws and regulations that discriminate against women, and the impact of these on women lives. SP disseminates information to the wider community, especially in the South Sulawesi region, about the situation of women living under the regional Syariah regulations. They publish research findings and organise discussions.
Komnas Perempuan is an independent institution that was established in 1998 through a decree by former President Habibie. The KP deals with basic human rights of women in Indonesia, notably all sorts of violence against women, in conflict as well as peace situations. Together with social organisations, the KP develops concepts, standards, instruments and mechanisms intended to prevent, handle, and abolish all forms of violence against women. The Commission has initiated advocacy activities and has been involved in several processes of human rights investigations.

text: Surrounded by Bangladesh on three sides, the lush mountains and valleys of TRIPURA became part of India in 1949; since then, its fate has been entwined with that of Bengal. Partition and the subsequent creation of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) in 1948, followed by war, famine and military regimes forced millions of Bangladeshis to flee into Tripura, where they now significantly outnumber the indigenous people, which has caused much resentment. Nevertheless, Agartala, the capital, is a relaxed city with a palace and a few temples, with Udaipur and the fairy-tale palace at Neermahal easily accessible. A handful of sanctuaries such as Gumti, Rowa, Trishna and Sepahijala protect the state's few remaining forests.Read More

Robert Davidson Jr.
Updated: December 12, 2012 6:25AM
YORKVILLE – Bob Davidson was done watching election returns before 10 p.m. election day.
He left the watch party he was at, and was up by 3 a.m. the next morning, pulling coho salmon out of Lake Michigan.
"By 9:30 or so I knew I was beat," the 14-year veteran of the Kendall County Board said. "But the people voted. I thank everyone for letting me serve them for (all those) years on the County Board."
Davidson, 66, a seasoned veteran of Kendall County's political scene, is no stranger to losing. But he's much more accustomed to winning, so it came as a bit of a surprise that he finished last in the six-candidate race for the County Board's District 1, where he served 12 consecutive years, and 14 total. He also served as mayor of Yorkville from 1983 to 1991.
He was first elected to the County Board in 1994 but left after two years because the job was taking too much time away from his business. He ran again and was elected in 2000 and had won every time since then – until Tuesday.
While he wanted to return to the board for another term, he admitted after one of his last board meetings that he had mixed feelings.
"Maybe I'm happy," he said, deferring to his wife of seven years, Dolores. "She always said we only got along because I was never home. So we'll see if she's right."
Davidson spent a long time as chairman of the Highway Committee, and as such points with pride to the fact the department's workload is somewhat planned out to 2018. He deflects the credit more to Highway Director and County Engineer Fran Klaas, whom Davidson also had as engineer when he served as Yorkville mayor.
But Davidson has worked hard to help the department get plans, right-of-way and engineering underway for such big projects as the extension of Grove and Ridge roads, and the expansion of Eldamain Road with the possibility of a bridge being built over the Fox River.
Davidson hinted that the county right now is working with U.S. Rep Randy Hultgren to see if it would be possible to take money that was set aside for the segment of the Prairie Parkway that would have crossed the river and put it toward the Eldamain Road bridge.
"Things like that I would have liked to have seen through," he said.
As he spoke to reporters this week, his good friend and fellow board member John Shaw walked by, gripped his arm and smiled.
"Love this guy," he said.
Davidson responded by saying he thinks Shaw might make a good successor to him as Highway Committee chairman.
"He's been my right hand man," he said.
Davidson pointed out that with him leaving, along with Anne Vickery, who lost her re-election bid during the primary this year, and long-time board members Jesse Hafenrichter and Nancy Martin, who declined to run again after years on the board, the board is "losing a lot of experience."
It was a softening of his somewhat curmudgeonly attitude that sometimes came out at board meetings.
"Well, that's a family," he said. "We all fight, but for the most part, we have the respect of the office and job we do. I'm going to miss these guys."
His advice to the new board, with half the members on for their first time, was to "be prepared to spend 30 to 35 hours a month." He also said not to worry about who likes you, or who doesn't.
"You can only do what you think is right, today," he said.

The Nov. 12 shooting of Bergner as he cornered the 51-year-old woman in an upstairs bedroom closet capped a month of escalating terror -- chronicled in a series of police reports filed by the woman -- which included break-ins, vandalism and assaults in her workplace.
Protect yourself, stop the predator, reload, call 911. Pretty much what I would recommend to any woman (or anyone!) facing a similar situation.
Relying on police to get to you in time is literally taking your life in your own hands.

" clients that they examine their washing machine hoses on a regular basis and keep a record of the date of those inspections. If your current washing machine hoses are of the black rubber type and they appear old and brittle or show any signs of bulges or blisters, then the hoses should be replaced immediately. You would also want to check to see if the hose connections are secure, including the drain hose, and ensure that there is at least four inches of space between the wall and the back of the washing machine to reduce the risk of kinking the hoses. These black rubber hoses should be replaced every 5 years."
I have heard of an instance of a neighbor of mine who had the "hot water" hose burst while he was running the washing machine. The hose was about eight years old.
Luckily he returned home after 10 minutes, there was minor flooding during 10 minutes at 65 psi water pressure.
However, what about the life span of braided steel hoses.
Has anyone heard of any instances of the burst proof braided steel hoses. Do they blister or create leaks.
What are there time frames for replacement.
Thanks for any advice.

These 300,000 are caught in the middle. Since one or more family members work, they are not eligible for Medicaid, and they do not earn enough to pay the high cost of health insurance and still eat. They are truly just one serious illness in the family from financial ruin.
Gov. Bentley, as a doctor and dedicated Christian, surely you will not continue to bar the door to medical coverage to these hard-working Alabama citizens. Surely, you do not want to be remembered as the one responsible for 1,704 unnecessary deaths each year.

Kālidāsa (Devanāgarī: कालिदास) was a Sanskrit poet and dramatist, his title Kavikulaguru (Preceptor of All Poets) bearing testimony to his stature. Known to be an ardent worshipper of Shiva, he wrote his plays and poetry largely based around Hindu mythology and philosophy. His name means, literally, "Kali's servant." His life cannot be dated with precision, but most likely falls within the Gupta period, probably in the 4th or 5th century or 6th century
- When dark clouds full with new waters are thundering repeatedly, the ruttish wild elephants respond by trumpeting, on the premise that it is the she-elephant's call.
- "Nirasha Tarubara Purata Bhaage!"
[There was a complaint by other scholars, why Chandragupta treats Kalidasa so differently. So once, the king asked the scholars to describe a piece of dry wood lying in front of them. All of them said "Sushkam Kasthyam Tishthati Agre". When Kalidasa came, he said "Nirasha Tarubara Purata Bhaage!" The poetic interpretation and the sweet sounding words made everybody realize the speciality of Kalidasa.][citation needed]

Orthopaedic surgeons are seeing increases in the number of patients using Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) as part of their health routine. Complementary and Alternative Medicine is that range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies that mainstream, conventional, Western medicine does not commonly use, accept, or make available. Some form of CAM is used by almost half of all Americans. During the last decade in the United States, demand for CAM has increased dramatically.
As part of this growing trend, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has launched an on-line CAM information site. The CAM site is part of the Academy's commitment to educate the public on the common usage of some herbs and interactions with drugs.
"Both doctor and patient need to be familiar with CAM treatments so they may intelligently assess their effectiveness. For example, many patients who are scheduled for surgery are taking herbal medicines or supplements," stated John W. Wickenden, MD and Chairman of the Academy's CAM committee.
"Some of these herbs pose discrete risks, such as excessive bleeding or troublesome interactions with drugs. Physicians need to be aware that dong quai, ginger, garlic, gingko biloba, ginseng, and St. John's Wort may increase bleeding and may have an interaction with. Additionally, Kava kava may interact with anesthetics. On the positive side, doctors are learning that there are CAM modalities which are of potential value to our orthopaedic patients." Dr. Wickenden notes that there is compelling evidence that the supplement glucosamine may be safe and effective in relieving symptoms of osteoarthritis.
The primary mission of the Academy is education. That mission extends to the CAM committee, which is mandated to identify, define gather evaluate and disseminate information about CAM as it relates to musculoskeletal care.

The 25,500 member American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons is a not-for-profit organization that provides education programs for orthopaedic surgeons, allied health professionals and the public.

By Phil WilliamsChief Investigative Reporter
Nashville police are declaring victory following the release of a long-awaited audit of how the city keeps crime statistics.
But, it turns out, that audit may not tell the whole story.
That Metro report concludes that auditors "did not observe any intentional manipulation" of crime stats by Metro police. Still, in interviewing police personnel, they found officers who had "a negative view of the process and/or had little faith in the accuracy of the numbers reported."
Mayor Karl Dean requested the audit after questions raised by a NewsChannel 5 investigation.
"The primary purpose of this audit was to determine if we were reporting our crime statistics in a reasonable manner," Police Chief Steve Anderson said before the report was released.
"The answer to that, as determined by internal audit, is 'yes.' A secondary purpose was to determine if there was any manipulation of that data. And the answer to that was 'no.'"
Yet, the 51-page audit does not address some of the biggest problems uncovered by an exclusive NewsChannel 5 investigation -- including rapes committed against some women that, for years, just weren't counted.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates talked to the victims, comparing their stories to the crimes that police recorded -- like burglaries written off as mere cases of vandalism.Related story: Nashville Police Don't Count Some Burglaries
We asked Metro Auditor Mark Swann, "Did you interview victims?"
"We did not interview victims," he answered, explaining that they focused on reviewing the data, along with a sample of incident reports. Swann said his team did find an error rate of about 10 percent in how Metro police classified crimes. "Could a 10 percent error rate have skewed the year-to-year reporting numbers?" NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked.
"On an individual category basis, yes -- or a clearance basis, yes," the auditor acknowledged. Yet, the auditors did not specifically dig into what police told the Metro Council about their huge success in "cases cleared by arrest" -- violent crime (76.5 percent), aggravated assault (82.4 percent) and forcible rape (122.8 percent).Related story: Expert: Nashville's Crime Clearance Stats 'Not Credible'
Off camera, a police spokesman now calls those claims a "colossal mistake." NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked Swann, "You all did not audit every single slide that the chief of police presented to the Metro Council?"
"No," he said.
Then, there were an astounding number of rape reports written off as "matters of record" -- meaning they did not count in any crime stats.Related story: Metro Crime Stats Ignore Hundreds of Sex Assault Cases
After NewsChannel 5 uncovered the problem, Metro police reclassified hundreds of sexual assault cases.Related story: Police Admit Public Not Told Truth About Rapes
Yet, the problem appears nowhere in the audit. "Did the audit specifically look at how sexual assaults were classified?" we wanted to know.
"The audit did not look at a specific crime," Swann responded. As for the type of crime stats relied upon by Metro officials, the audit says those numbers may provide an "incomplete" picture.
Instead, it suggests using different stats kept by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation that -- instead of six straight years of decline, as Metro police claimed -- show crime was actually up three of those six years.
In addition to reclassifying hundreds of sexual assault cases, police brass sent officers back to school for refresher training.
And, in the audit, they're promising other measures to make sure that crime is reported accurately in the future.

Designing Sacred Lands
After four unsuccessful attempts, in June 2012 UNESCO approved a new World Heritage Cultural Landscape: the subaks and water temples of Bali. An innovative management plan empowers the elected heads of subaks and villages to manage the World Heritage as a Governing Assembly, with assistance from government departments. Implementation of this management system has been delayed, but it has been endorsed by UNESCO as a promising model for democratic adaptive management.

Long Islanders could get slammed by some severe weather by early next week.
After issuing a hazardous weather outlook earlier on Wednesday for the Atlantic coastal waters that could affect the East End early next week, the National Weather Service has now said that a major coastal storm could be coming that has the potential to affect the entire Long Island region.
Earlier on Wednesday, officials believed the storm could possibly just head out to sea and leave Long Island unscathed. But the forecast has changed -- and heavy winds and rain, flooding, coastal erosion, and downed power lines are possible.
"It does look like Long Island will have some impacts from this system," Peter Wichrowski, meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Upton, said Wednesday evening. "As for the exact details and how it all evolves, it's still a big question mark."
The storm could hit Long Island sometime by Monday or Tuesday, NWS representatives say.
Heavy rains and flooding that could cause beach erosion could impact the area over the weekend and through Tuesday, according to David Stark, meteorologist for the National Weather Service office in Upton.
Currently, Hurricane Sandy is impacting Jamaica, Wichrowski said. "The official track has it moving northward across the Bahamas, and then, eventually, it looks like it begins to turn toward the northeast out over the western Atlantic. At that point, the official forecast does bring it back towards Long Island."
The storm will run "well to the east of the mid-Atlantic, North Carolina area" over the weekend, Wichrowski said. By Monday or Tuesday, it is expected to make a turn toward Long Island, or just east of the area.
"As of right now, it looks very close to Montauk," Wichrowski said.
But, he added, there are "a lot of different solutions and scenarios" that could evolve. "This is a complex storm, and we're talking a good five or six days away. At this point, I would say there is definitely the potential for a significant storm approaching Long Island or New England."
The storm, he added, would mean strong winds of between 30 to 50 miles per hour or higher, heavy rainfall, and downed trees and power lines.
Earlier on Wednesday, Stark said whether or not the Long Island area would be affected would ultimately depend on the eventual track and evolution of Sandy as it interacts with a deepening upper level low pressure system approaching the East Coast; experts at first said that the storm could just move out to sea and have little impact on the area weather.

Shakespeare's Birthday Celebrations 2012
On 21-22 April, Shakespeare's home town of Stratford-upon-Avon will celebrate the birthday of its most famous son with a weekend of exciting events, activities and the famous Birthday Procession.
09 March 2012
The celebrations also usher in the World Shakespeare Festival, which starts on Shakespeare's birthday, 23 April. The weekend festivities will feature the best of Stratford's unique Birthday Celebrations traditions and an extended programme of performance, music and entertainment at venues and locations across the picturesque town.
Stratford's annual Birthday Celebrations bring together people from the worlds of diplomacy, literature, theatre and academia, tourists and local residents, professional troupes and community groups in a vibrant spectacle of pageantry and performance to honour the immortal memory of William Shakespeare.
The ceremonial showpiece is the grand Birthday Procession, which will start at 10.35am, led by the Band of the Corps of Royal Engineers. This year the parade will follow a new, circular route from the Town Hall via Chapel Lane and Waterside, to Bridge Street in the town centre for the unfurling of the flags ceremony. Headed by the Royal Engineers and led by pupils and staff from King Edward VI School1 (which William Shakespeare attended), the main procession will then continue along the historic spine of Stratford to lay flowers on the poet's grave at Holy Trinity Church. The Community and People's Parade will follow the main procession from Union Street to the church and on to the Bancroft Gardens on the bank of the River Avon. Spectators are welcome to join the throng of costumed players, musicians and creative groups.
Performance troupes from as far afield as China and Spain, as well as many local community groups, will provide free entertainment on stages in the town centre and Bancroft Gardens throughout the day. One of the highlights will be a Chinese Dragon Dance as performed at Shanghai Expo 2010 by performers from Fenghau High School.
The dancers are part of a prestigious Chinese delegation visiting for the Birthday weekend as part of a cross-cultural performance project2 bringing together the works of William Shakespeare with those of Tang Xianzu, who is regarded as 'the Shakespeare of the Orient'. Highlights will include scenes from the Peony Pavilion by the Kun Opera Troupe and the magical art of Chinese face-changing.
Community and youth groups will be showcasing their talents in everything from line dancing to Tai Chi, and of course, in the home town of the world's most famous playwright, theatre3. Performers from Stratford arts groups including Tread The Boards, In2Theatre, Escape Community Art In Action, and the Vital Statistics dance school will mingle with madrigal singers, wind, brass and steel pan bands, folk musicians and strolling players. Visiting groups from schools in Spain and Russia will perform alongside pupils and students from the Stratford schools and college. The afternoon's free entertainment will begin at 12 noon.
The Royal Shakespeare Company will welcome the World Shakespeare Festival4 to Stratford with a fantastic range of activity celebrating Shakespeare's birthday. Between 12 noon – 6pm the areas outside the theatres will come alive with a world music stage, featuring artists from around the globe. The normally hidden world of the RSC will spill outdoors with activities for all the family to take part in, including stage-fighting workshops, costumes to try on, and fake scars and bruises created by the RSC Wigs and Make-Up team.
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is inviting visitors to sign giant birthday cards at the five Shakespeare Houses & Gardens, and enjoy a piece of free birthday cake.
The Shakespeare Birthday Luncheon takes place on Saturday 21 April, at 12 noon, in the Levi Fox Hall of King Edward VI School, Stratford-upon-Avon. This event is set to be a stunning affair in beautifully dressed surroundings, with top-class speakers including the Bishop of Coventry, Vikki Heywood, Executive Director of the RSC, Michael Dobson, Director of The Shakespeare Institute and Dr Carl Roberts, Ambassador of Antigua and Barbuda. Tickets cost £70 each. For further details and tickets for this special event please contact the event organiser, telephone: 0844 338 0333 or email email@example.com
At 4.45pm the Corps of Royal Engineers will perform Beating Retreat in the quadrant of King Edward VI School. One of the best marching brass bands in the world, the Band regularly plays at State, Royal and military occasions. The Band also provides medical support in combat zones.
On Sunday 22 April, the Shakespeare Service at Holy Trinity Church (11.00am-12.15pm) includes music and verse from Shakespeare's plays, performed by members of the RSC. The Shakespeare Sermon will be given by Rabbi the Rt Hon The Baroness Julia Nuberger DBE. There will be a Civic Parade from the Town Hall to Holy Trinity Church led by the Coventry Drum Corp at 10.35am.
Two of China's most influential writers will give a talk at The Shakespeare Centre at 3.00pm on Sunday 22 April. Mo Yan, the award-winning author of Frog, whose novels have been internationally translated, and Professor Lu Jiande, the leading expert on Chinese literature and the influence of Western culture and English Literature in modern China, will speak on the subject 'Opening up the East'.5 Tickets cost £12.00. Book on line at www.civichall.co.uk or call the box office on 01789 207100.
The Shakespeare Birthday Lecture this year will be delivered by novelist Salley Vickers, author of the international best-seller Miss Garnet's Angels. Tickets to the lecture at The Shakespeare Institute on 20 April at 3.00pm cost £10.00. To book, call 01789 204016.

As well as joining in the free Birthday festivities, the Chinese troupes will perform alongside musical theatre students and professional actors from the UK in scheduled events at Stratford's Civic Hall, Coventry's Guild Hall, and the Sidney Stringer Academy, Coventry on 20, 21 and 23 April respectively.
The project is receiving sponsorship from the Chinese government. The delegation comprises approximately 75 leading Chinese performers, artists, government officials, educationalists and representatives of Chinese national media.

Stuffsack included.

MaterialDown Insulation
We use down insulation in some of our products because of its excellent performance: down has a higher warmth-to-weight ratio than synthetic insulation, and it is also more compressible.
Patagonia's proprietary durable water repellent fabric finish, DWR, lasts substantially longer than standard DWRs. Garments with the DWR finish have like-new repellency after years of extensive use.
