Popular Pioneer
Died Tuesday—To
Funeral Tomorrow.
J. W. Davison better known as "Uncle" John Davison, died at his home on Avenue B East in this city, Wednesday afternoon, August 30th, 1916, in his 77th year. Funeral services will be held tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon at 2:30, at the Christian church, conducted by the Pastor, Rev. Leonard, and interment will be at Walnut Hill. The burial service will be in charge of the local lodge A. O. U. W. of which order Mr. Davison had been a member for many years.
In the death of J. W. Davison another pioneer passes from the stage of action and gets to his reward; a man honored while here among men for his sterling character as citizen and neighbor, upright in his dealings, charitable and helpful to the needy and distressed; and a man who will be long and kindly remembered.
John W. Davison was born on the 12th day of February, 1840, at Brownsburg, Indiana. He was joined in marriage in 1869, with Mary M. Combs, near Brownsburg, Indiana, she being his second wife. To them one child was born, which died in infancy. Deceased was the father of two other children by his first wife, who also died in infancy.
Mr. and Mrs. Davison came to Kingman county in 1878, settling in Galesburg township, where they remained some ten years, after which they came to Kingman and engaged in business for some eighteen years, but failing health forced him to retire from business and since then he had been leading a retired life "waiting patiently" for the final summons, which came on Wednesday, and he has passed from among us to await the reward which come to the just.
Deceased was a soldier in the Civil War on the Union side, and as such won many honors for bravery and faithful service. In his first enlistment he was a member of the 7th Indiana Zouaves, and at the expiration of his term of enlistment he "veteranized" by re-enlisting in the 9th Michigan Cavalry in Company G, serving with marked distinction until the close of the war. He was especially proud of his war record and carefully preserved his discharge papers and other memoranda of his soldier life.
Despite his ill health he had made provisions for his now bereaved wife by leaving her ample funds to provide for her comfort in the widowhood and declining years; and as she has a comfortable home and pleasant and congenial surroundings and legions of friends it is probable that she will continue to make Kingman her home.
To the bereaved widow and other sorrowing friends The Leader-Courier tenders sympathy and words of condolence.

Bungert signs new Mainz deal
FSV Mainz defender Niko Bungert has signed a three-year contract extension at Bruchwegstadion.
By Thomas Zocher
Last Updated: 22/11/10 3:11pm
FSV Mainz defender Niko Bungert has signed a three-year contract extension at Bruchwegstadion.
The former Germany youth international's previous deal was due to expire in June 2011, but the Bundesliga's second-placed team were happy to offer new terms.
Bungert insists that he had no intention of leaving Mainz and so did not hesitate in committing his future to the club.
The 24-year-old told Mainz's official website: "I feel great at Mainz and playing for this club.
"Therefore, I really had no interest in going elsewhere."
Meanwhile, forward Stephan Hain of Bundesliga 2 outfit FC Augsburg has claimed that he is a transfer target of three top-flight clubs ahead of the January transfer window, and reports have suggested that Mainz are one of the interested parties.
Hain told Kicker: "I am under contract until the end of the season with Augsburg and I plan to decide my future at Christmas.
"I actually have three clubs from the top division asking about me."

Hanoi Tasty Fish Fry: Cha CaMonday, March 14th, 2005
Vietnamese food is really tasty, even the crap they feed to tourists on your all-inclusive trip thingies. Our Hanoi favorite was a local specialty called cha ca, so good we had to have it twice even though we were only there for about four days. Cha ca is a DIY dining experience consisting of cold noodles, chopped herbs, fish sauce, and chopped roasted peanuts, topped with an oily yellow fry-up of fish. You eat cha ca in a restaurant called "Cha Ca" on a street in the old city called "Cha Ca." There are no menus — you climb a tiny pirate-shippy stair case to a slanted poop-decklike second floor, and sit in a folding chair. Then you order aTiger beer, and a server comes and brings you bowls of noodles and seasonings, then a pan of fish in oil over a wooden bucket of charcoal. They dump a bowl of dill and some scallions into the pan of fish, and emphatically pantomime that you should put everything together in your smaller eating bowl. The combination of flavors combine alchemically to produce a flavor that is complex and delicious.
Cha ca in Hanoi.
I knew that I would want to make Cha Ca at home, and the ingredients were pretty obvious, but my first time I was still a little worried about having the right kind of noodles, fish sauce, etc. I went down to Kam Man, a pan-Asian grocery on Canal between Mulberry and Mott, and to a fish market a few doors down for ingredients, and also made a pit stop at my local bodega, which happens to have very fresh produce — that was all it took. And I just have to say, I f***ing rule, because it came out PERFECT. If you want to make cha ca at home, here is how.
For the table, you will need:
Cold Noodles — I bought two kinds of dried noodles: one clearer looking "bean vermicelli" from Kam Man that listed its ingredients as "green beans, water" and another package of "rice vermicelli" from the bodega. I preferred the taste and the slightly stickier texture of the "bean vermicelli," as the rice vermicelli seemed too chalky and slimy. Both types of noodles are prepared by submerging them in warm water (tap water is fine) for about 5-7 minutes until the noodles rehydrate. Then they should be drained and placed in a large bowl.
Nuoc Cham — Be sure to purchase Vietnamese fish sauce (nuoc mam), not Thai fish sauce (nam pla) . You can either make nuoc cham by combining the nuoc mam with water, rice vinegar, garlic, chili pepper, and sugar, or you can be a lazy slob like me and buy it pre-mixed. The brand I bought called it "Spring Roll Sauce."
Chopped Herbs — You will want one bunch of dill and one bunch of cilantro. I also used one bunch of mint just for the heck of it but that's not the way it's done over there. Wash, dry, and roughly chop each of the herbs and place in separate bowls.
Chopped Scallions — Two bunches should do it. Cut each scallion down the middle, and then diagonally into slices.
Chopped Roasted Peanuts — I used Kam Man's roasted peanuts, which actually look like they have been deep-fried, rather than roasted, but who knows. Toss into the food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.
For the fish, you will need:
Semi-firm fleshed white fish — I bought two large fillets in Chinatown that I was told was flounder but I suspect of being scrod.
Turmeric and Rice Flour — Combined in equal parts, enough for dredging. Add salt & pepper to taste.
Peanut Oil — About 1 cup per batch.
Butter — If you're naughty. I used just about 1 tablespoon per batch to add flavor. Clarified butter would have been better, as the milk solids can spatter a bit.
First prepare everything for the table. Set out a cork mat or a trivet on the table for the fish pan.
Cut the fish into 1 1/2 inch squares and dredge in the turmeric mixture. Add oil and butter to a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, and get it nice and hot (shimmery texture, just before smoking.) Add the fish, but don't crowd the pan. If there is too much to go in one batch, reserve fish for a second batch. Cook the fish in the oil, turning once, for about five minutes. Bring the whole pan to the table, and add dill and scallions to taste. Each person then assembles their own bowl as they like.
A good accompaniment is shitty Asian beer, like Tsingtao or Tiger beer

Illinois boots Mizzou
Freshman forward Emily Brown keeps getting her kicks for the University of Illinois soccer team.
Brown, who scored three goals in the Illini's home victory Wednesday against Washington University of St. Louis, added two more Friday as Illinois defeated Missouri 2-1 at Walton Stadium in Columbia, Mo.
"I felt going into the game ... we were the underdogs," UI coach Jillian Ellis said of her second-year program. "We played really well."
Brown scored her first goal unassisted at 13 minutes, 15 seconds and added another goal on a header off a corner kick at 48:12 for a 2-0 Illinois lead.
"A two-goal lead when you're playing an up-and-down (the field) game is not safe," Ellis said.
Missouri, which dropped its fourth consecutive game, trimmed its deficit when Nikki Thole scored her 18th goal of the season on an assist from Erin Grimsley at 57:30.
Illini goalie Amy Bessette and Missouri keeper Jackie Adamec turned in strong performances, Ellis said. Bessette made two saves, and Adamec recorded seven.
"(Adamec) is the best keeper I've seen this year based on her performance," Ellis said.
Both teams attacked throughout the match. Several breakaways were thwarted by the goalies.
UI freshman Lindsay Johnson went one-on-one against Adamec, but the Missouri goalie turned the shot aside.
"I was on the verge of having a heart attack the last two minutes," Ellis said after the Tigers (8-8-1) put five players up front.
The Illini outshot the Tigers 16-11.
Illinois (11-7) closes its regular season at 1 p.m. Sunday at home against Oakland.
The Big Ten Conference tournament starts Nov. 6 in State College, Pa. The Illini, seeded eighth, play regular season champion Penn State in the opening round.
The Nittany Lions defeated Illinois 3-2 on Sept. 20 in Champaign.

A man was arrested Friday after a shooting on board a British nuclear-powered submarine docked in the southern English port of Southampton, police said, adding that the incident was not terror-related.
Two people are believed to have been injured in the incident on HMS Astute, the navy's newest submarine, they said, but could not confirm reports by local media that one of the people had died.
The Astute caused headlines in October last year when it ran aground off the coast of Scotland and had to be towed home. To add insult to injury, it was damaged in a collision with the tug and had to be repaired.
A police spokesman said: "Hampshire police were called by their Ministry of Defence (MoD) colleagues at 12:12 pm (1112 GMT) today and are currently liaising with them to establish the exact circumstances of the incident.
"It is believed two people have sustained injuries as a result of gun shots being discharged on the vessel. People should be reassured there is no risk to public safety.
"Hampshire Constabulary and the MoD are keen to stress this incident is not terrorist related."
According to local media, the submarine was in the middle of a five-day visit to Southampton. It arrived on Wednesday carrying 98 crew members, following 46 days at sea.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by Ace 1, Feb 21, 2001.
are they any good don't hear much and have not got to many responses something i need to know?
They are one of the best. I own two of them and own two of their blowers. Thry have yet to let me down. When u think a patch of tall grass is too tall for them, it seems like power just all of a sudden comes from out of nowhere. You can't go wrong with one.
I have had a trimmer, an edger, and a extended hadge trimmer. Pretty good stuff. I preffered the Shindaiwa trimmers and edger, but I have not ruled out buying more Maruyama equipment, especially after Shindaiwas decision not to allow mail order sales.
I also see in another thread you were trying to find a place online that sales Maruyama. Here's a couple.
[Edited by Keith on 02-21-2001 at 08:41 PM]
I have the multi purpose power unit and would not recomend it.The little rototiller unit works OK in flower beds but the hedge trimmer unit is toooo sloow. Starts good, runs good.
Keith, Thanks for those places to bye maruyama equipment appreciate the help

This is a renewal application for the UMDNJ/Rutgers University CounterACT Research Center of Excellence, which is specifically focused on the discovery and development of drugs to treat poisoning from exposure to vesicants including sulfur mustard, nitrogen mustard, and other mechanistically related chemical threat agents. The Center consists of three Research and Development Projects, each focused on a major vesicant target: the eye, lung and skin. Research is centered on elucidating specific mechanisms of vesicant toxicity, with the overall goal of identifying targets for therapeutic intervention. These projects are supported by a Pharmacology and Drug Development Core and a Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutics Core consisting of investigators with considerable expertise in drug discovery, delivery and development. Important lead compounds have been identified and innovative formulations and delivery systems developed that increase pharmacological activity and improve pharmacokinetic profiles. Over 150 potential therapeutic compounds were synthesized, formulated, and evaluated for efficacy in vitro and against vesicant-induced injury resulting in four distinct families that will be chemically optimized during the renewal period. A Training and Education Program has been established directed at students, postdoctoral fellows and health care providers at the Universities of CounterACT investigators. During the next grant period, mechanistic research will focus on following novel discoveries related to how vesicants damage tissues including studies on autophagy, matrix metalloproteinases, ER stress proteins, and the role of macrophage subpopulations. The Pharmacology and Drug Development Core will continue to have informal meetings with the FDA, conduct IND-enabling studies, coordinate activities with external collaborators;it will also evaluate and advance selected lead compounds. The Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutics Core will chemically optimize lead compounds in four promising classes, as well as develop strategies and targeted delivery systems to support multiple agent/ multiple mechanism treatment regimes for vesicant-mediated wound healing. It is anticipated that Center efforts will result in new drugs that will be in the approval process for treating vesicant poisoning in humans.
There is increasing concern that civilian populations might be exposed to chemical toxicants. The primary objective of the Center will be to develop medical countermeasures against these chemicals. A team of researchers has been assembled capable of rapid advancement of candidate drugs through the regulatory process, so that they can be used to enhance the medical response capabilities of the United States.

Dalis Bruce was one of the better-looking prospects at the Stanford NIKE Camp two weekends ago and the Danville (Calif.) Monte Vista cornerback is sitting with one offer from Oregon State.
Many more offers could come for Bruce, a 5-foot-10, 170-pound prospect who said he just plans to remain patient, talk to coaches and see where his recruitment goes over the next couple months.
Oregon State remains a serious contender for his services but with Oregon, Colorado, Notre Dame and others showing interest the Northern California standout doesn't want to make a decision just yet.
Article Continues Below
"I sat down with (the Oregon State coaches) when I visited and they said I'm still good with the offer," Bruce said. "They showed me around and I liked it. It's a pretty big deal. Oregon State is a really good school so getting that offer was a big deal to me.
"I'm just being patient because I understand it's a process. It's still early for offers if you think about it. I'm just waiting for offers and I'm getting a lot of looks. I just want to go out there and show coaches I can compete at the next level."
Oregon has shown a lot of interest in Bruce, who stood out at wide receiver during the Los Angeles NIKE Camp. He said the Ducks have already stopped by his school once and the coaching staff told him they could make a return trip.
Bruce, who has also visited Colorado and Notre Dame on unofficial trips this spring, said he's started to figure out his summer camp schedule but that he only plans to work out at schools that have shown a legitimate interest in offering.
That means Oregon State, Oregon, Colorado and Notre Dame are in good shape to see Bruce again and maybe other stops as well since programs are getting involved with him all the time.
"I'm only going to camps where the coaches told me I have the potential of getting an offer," Bruce said.
"I'm going to focus on those schools and then I'll wait for offers. I'm just being real patient."

I first had the idea for Hang Wire on my first trip to San Francisco. I fell in love with the place, as it reminds me a lot of Auckland, New Zealand, where I'm from. I knew I had to set a story there! Ted's encounter with the exploding fortune cookie was actually based on something that really happened to me, although it was nothing quite as dramatic. We went out for dinner in Chinatown, we got fortune cookies at the end, and mine sort of burst open. Inside, instead of a single fortune, was a wedge of paper strips, all printed with the same thing: YOU ARE THE MASTER OF EVERY SITUATION. I thought this was pretty funny, and stuffed them all in my wallet as a reminder.
Then I wondered about the cookie, and what if it hadn't just been a random fortune – what if it was a personal message? What if there was something else hidden inside a fortune cookie – and the wrong guy opened it? From there the idea just spiraled out. I had my San Francisco novel!
I have lots of favourite parts, and I'm especially fond of Joel Duvall's little interludes. He was originally a minor character, but the more I wrote him, the more I liked him and the more his story expanded of its own accord. So his interludes, in which he travels across America over the span of more than 100 years, were unplanned, but so much fun to write.
I particularly like the sequence where Sara and Kara, two performers from the circus, follow Joel into the fairground, late one night. Then Kara has a fit and collapses – almost as if she's possessed by some external force – and Sara has to run to Joel for help. Only he's a little busy talking to his machines…
The fairground was moving. Joel bobbed his arms up and down, the rise and fall of a conductor directing his orchestra. As he swayed here and there, up and down, so the machines around him responded. The big dipper behind the carousel rocked, the movements of the sailing ship that swung like a giant pendulum matching the side-to-side motion of Joel. The lights on the Ferris wheel looming over everything on the other side flickered and buzzed, and the wheel rolled in either direction, all in time to Joel.
Sara's eyes crawled around the ring of machines in horror. Each of them moved, twitching in time with one another and in time with their master. The lights were on full now, and they pulsed, almost organically, as power ebbed and flowed, ebbed and flowed. Far and near, far and near, as Joel swayed and swung his arms from side to side, side to side. In front of Joel, the carousel puffed like a steam train as the engine at its heart sprang to life, and it began to rotate, slowly at first, spinning about its axis as it should. In the machine's hub was a pipe organ, surrounded by mechanical puppets and automaton musicians, and on top sat the monkey, as large as a small child. It's red eyes were glowing, and the organ started to play, a drone, a tuneless wailing, a whistling of pipes that sank into Sara's bones, the sound of stars falling, the sound of the endless cold of space.
Joel swayed and the carousel began to accelerate, faster and faster, around and around. Sara watched the painted horses and elephants and monsters whip around, their forms and lights blurring in the misty evening air. The discordant drones of the pipe organ formed a familiar fairground melody. But it was slow, somehow, and out of tune. As Sara watched she felt her heart beat and her head thump, in time to the music, in time to the pulsing lights.
The history came from the story: it was about San Francisco, and the earthquake history of the place was involved, so that was woven into the book – especially as the book features characters who have lived a rather long time, and has sequences spanning all of Twentieth Century. This made it pretty easy to do, because some of those characters were actually there when this stuff happened.
This also made the book fairly research-heavy. There was the history of San Francisco and it's geology, for which I had a stack of reference sources. But there was also modern-day San Francisco – I've spent time there and it's one of my favourite cities, but I've never lived there, so I had some locals I know on hand to check over the manuscript and key scenes. The book is fiction – fantasy, at that – but it was important to get the feel of the place right. There's no Gretsch Street in the real San Francisco, for example, but the suburbs of Daly City are leafy and quiet!
I tend to write using multiple point-of-view characters. I suspect this is a little more common with British fiction, although I can't say for sure. But it's a useful tool to split a story into different plots, so long as you don't spread it too thin.
The tenses was a deliberate choice – my standard writing form is third-person, past-tense, but for the scenes with the acrobat Highwire I wanted third-person, present-tense to get a very particular feel. Highwire is a bit of a mystery – he doesn't even really know who he is himself, and he doesn't remember much about his own past, not even how he arrived in San Francisco. He's single-minded, trailing the Hang Wire Killer across the city, so I wanted him to be very much in the "now". So his sequences are in present tense, because that's the way he is.
The perspective shifts are fairly standard – so long as everything is clear and you don't shift POV without signaling it first, readers can keep up. Shifting tenses is harder to do and requires careful editing, but again, so long as it's delineated clearly and used sparingly.
Hang Wire is pretty plot-heavy, so mapping everything out – and making sure all the strands linked together the way they should at the end – was important. As I was rewriting from my original draft I stopped and re-outlined the book after every few chapters. No shortcuts, no quick fixes! Everything that happens in the story is linked, some in obvious ways, some in subtle ways.
That's tricky to figure out! The first draft was written sometime around 2009, and most likely took about six months. Then I trunked it, and came back to it in about October 2012. The edit and rewrite was maybe another six months, although I was working on The Burning Dark as well, so I have a whole year of editing where it all blurs in one!
But there were two distinct phases, and essentially two distinct books – the draft from 2009, and the new book that finally managed to carved out of that draft around August 2013.
I've written since a young age, and have gone through various stages of writing lots or not writing at all. Around 2006ish I submitted a novel to a publishing house which had opened up to unsolicited subs, and I was rejected – rightly so – but that spurred me on to take writing seriously. So I guess that's the beginning of my pseudo-professional timeline!
While I was working on a new book I joined Twitter, not to try and get a book deal or sell a book, but just because it seemed like a fun place to hang out. Eventually I met Lee Harris, the editor at Angry Robot, there, but again only because we share similar interests in books, comics, film, TV, etc. He knew I was writing something, because I would occasional blog about it, but he never asked and I never said anything. I met him at a few conventions and we hung out, and then about two years later I was passing by the Angry Robot office and asked if I could drop in. Over lunch, publishing director Marc Gascoigne asked what book I was working on, so I did a rambling, unprepared pitch, which I'm sure was awful, but he said it sounded interesting and that I should send the book in when it was done.
That was Empire State – by that point the third novel I had completed – and when it was done, I sent in it! They liked it, and bought it, along with Seven Wonders (the second book I'd written – the first is still locked in the trunk!). From there I got an agent, and then another book deal, and then new deals with Tor and Titan, and have reached that point where I'm a professional writer.
There's no secret formula to getting published, unless you count writing a great book and having a dash of luck to be it. The Work, with a capital W, is all that matters, because without it you haven't got anything. So that's the primary consideration, always.
The second thing is the element of luck. When writers talk about luck, or how random the publishing industry seems, it all starts to sound a bit silly and impossible. But while it might be a matter of being at the right place at the right time, you can at least get to the right place by doing The Work. And then when the opportunity arises, you've got something ready to show. For me, that was that lunch in Nottingham – I'd worked hard to get to that point, and I had something to show them. I didn't try to sell a book on Twitter. I didn't even try to sell a book to Lee or Angry Robot, but after two years of hanging out online, they asked me.
There's only two pieces of writing advice that are useful, really. The first one is to write a great book. The second one is to keep going.
"Write a great book" is an easy thing to say, but it's actually true. And it's not impossible, either, you just need to stick to the second piece of advice – keep going. Empire State was the first book I sold but the third I had written, because I knew that I had to work as hard as possible to get better as a writer – the more you write, the better you get. So if you want to get published, write a great book. The more you write, the better you'll get, until eventually you'll get picked up. It might take three months. It might take five years. Whatever the case, keep writing. And that's not to say Empire State is a great book. I'm still searching for that, but I can say that Empire State is a hell of a lot better than the awful first novel I wrote. But I had to write that one in order to write the next one. And so on.
And really, keeping these two bits of advice in mind will serve you well throughout your whole career. A writer is rejected more than they are accepted. We get good reviews and we get bad reviews. There are obstacles, and distractions, and a tonne of paperwork. When things aren't going the way you want, it would be very easy to just stop.
But you don't. You keep going. You keep reaching for that great book. And, first and foremost, you keep working, no matter what.
The obvious answer is to use the book as a weapon – all of Shakespeare in a single volume is a fat book, and with a bit of luck this'll be a fancy-schmancy leather bound edition too. So, book as weapon, no problem. In fact, with that flash leather cover it could also double as a shield. If there's one situation I want The Complete Works of Shakespeare with me, this is it.

A Pendle man has been jailed for 12 months after what the judge sentencing him described as "unprovoked" attack on his own mother.
Jonathan Procter (26), of no fixed address, attacked his mother twice in March this year and was sent to prison for assault causing actual bodily harm.
David Macro (prosecuting) said on the night of the first attack Procter was at his brother's house in Bracewell Street, Barnoldswick, and had been drinking.
His mother came around at around 8pm and Procter began verbally abusing her, Mr Macro told Burnley Crown Court, before he punched her in the arm while she was sat in a chair and then got her arm in an arm lock behind her back. She called out for his brother and he intervened.
After his brother had left the house, Mr Macro said Procter started punching his mother "really hard" on her arms.
As she pushed him away, Procter fell to the floor and she sat on him "to stop further attacking" said Mr Macro, but Procter bit her finger causing it to bleed.
His brother intervened again and the police were called. In interview, Mr Macro said Procter said his mother had been attacking him and he was acting in self defence.
He was charged and pleaded not guilty at Magistrates Court and was bailed.
The second offence occurred at his mother's house in Lonsdale Street, Nelson. Mr Macro said Procter had been drinking heavily and punched his mother hard on her left arm and also her leg.
He also twisted her arm. Mr Macro said Procter's mother had "really bad bruises all over her body".
Robert Elias (defending) described it as a "tragic" and "serious state of affairs" and added Procter accepted he would be getting a custodial sentence.
Mr Elias asked the judge to factor in Procter's age and the fact he is still in contact with his mother.
Recorder Simon Medland QC said Procter's actions had left his mother with "multiple" bruises on her arms and legs. He added that Procter had refused to engage with the probation service and had refused to acknowledge his mother was the victim.

Here is a list of the questions most frequently asked by interested parents, campers, and staff regarding AGBU Camp Nubar. Camp Nubar is accredited by the American Camping Association. Click the ACA logo below to find out what it means for AGBU Camp Nubar to be accredited by the American Camping Association.
Campers are under the constant care of our staff. Camp Nubar adheres to New York State Law and the requirements set forth by the American Camp Association (ACA), which require 24-hour supervision by a senior counselor (18 years of age or older) in cabins and all activities. In addition, our Director, Assistant Director, Waterfront Director, Boys' Head Counselor and Girls' Head Counselor all oversee the ongoing operations of the Camp. We are proud to maintain a 3:1 camper-to-counselor ratio throughout the summer. Campers are never left unattended.
Furthermore, we take special steps to ensure safety within the context of an active summer camp. Our waterfront program is managed by a certified Water Safety Instructor and certified lifeguards who are on duty at the lake during all waterfront activities.
Camp Nubar's staff arrives at Camp one week prior to the arrival of the campers. During this time, our counselors undergo rigorous training in First Aid, CPR and other safety drills and health certification. Led by our Director, visiting professionals and members of the Camp Nubar Committee, our staff also participates in sessions on sensitivity training and counseling to fully understand how to care for the welfare of our campers. Our staff understands and is taught to regard the overall well-being of every camper, being sensitive to their safety, emotional health and happiness. Our counselors are constant caregivers and role models and often become lifelong friends with their campers.
Camp Nubar employs a Certified Health Director who resides in the Infirmary and is available 24 hours a day to administer any health-related needs of the Camp. The infirmary is a first-class facility that is fully stocked with necessary medical supplies and contains ten bedrooms for those children who need extra care. To ensure your child receives the best medical treatment, all parents are required to fill out and submit the Health Form provided in your application packet. We must be alerted of all allergies and medical conditions prior to your child's arrival at Camp. In the unlikely event that your child requires further medical attention, the nearest hospital and medical offices are only 12 miles away. We will notify you within 24 hours of any illness or serious injury that requires an overnight stay in the infirmary.
It's simple! Click here to start!
Applicants for Senior Counselors (age 18+), Junior Counselors (age 17) and Counselors-In-Training (ages 16) must submit an application form in a timely manner and will be interviewed by members of the Camp Nubar Committee and Head Staff. All staff are expected to be present for the entire duration of the summer season, including pre-camp and post-camp. Applications for 2018 are now open! The application can be accessed by clicking here.
Our annual tuition can be viewed online here. As always, our office is available to assist with questions by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please click here to see a detailed Packing List. Your child's clothes are washed weekly by a staff member in our on-premises laundry facility. Please label all belongings.
We have provided directions to Camp Nubar from various locations on our 'Directions' page. Please click here for details.
Camp Nubar provides transportation services to and from Camp for an additional fee per trip per child. For further information, please click here.
Camp Nubar operates a small camp store, known as the "Canteen" , where the campers may buy beverages and snacks in limited quantities at designated times. The Canteen also sells Camp Nubar clothing, stamps, batteries, toiletries and stationary items. We suggest that each camper be given $60 per two-week session as "Canteen money" (more or less at your discretion). The Camp office will keep track of the money your child spends, and any unused portion will, at your election, either be returned to you at the end of the Camp season, or will be donated to the Camp Nubar Building Improvement Fund. You may contribute to your child's Canteen account online at your time of registration.
You should call (845) 676-3101 and ask for the Program Coordinator, Assistant Director, or Director. Please indicate that your call is of an urgent nature.
The two phone lines at Camp Nubar must be kept open for emergency and office use only. Please do not call your child except in the case of an emergency. In addition, we believe that telephone calls often intensify feelings of homesickness and disrupt campers' schedules.
All campers are given computer access once per week to receive and send e-mails. Campers will be able to access their personal email accounts during these email sessions. There is no access to instant messaging at Camp. You may obtain a free email account from various email providers.
We encourage you to keep in touch with your child the old fashioned way, with letters and postcards from home. Campers love to receive mail and are urged to write home often. Pack pre-addressed and stamped postcards and pens for your child. Address letters and packages to your camper as follows:
(Your Camper's Name)
c/o Camp Nubar
5939 Fall Clove Road
Delancey, NY 13752
Campers and counselors live together in cabins assigned by age and gender. Girls reside in the "Valley" side of Camp and boys reside on the "Hill". Cabin assignments are based strictly upon the camper's age. Please do not make any special requests for campers of different ages (whether or not related) to be put together in the same cabin.
Family and friends are welcome to visit Camp on changeover days (Saturday, July 14th and Saturday, July 28th) between 10:00am and 5:00pm, and during Open House (Sunday, July 22nd). Visits on other days are disruptive to the Camp schedule and are not permitted.
Please be advised that for the health and safety of all campers, pets are not allowed on premises and outside food may not be brought into camp. In addition, we ask that you help keep our grounds beautiful by avoiding litter. Finally, smoking is not permitted on camp grounds.
Camp Nubar has what we like to call great "camp" food. We offer three nutritious meals each day in our state-of-the-art cafeteria. We employ a well-established food service company to prepare all of our meals and provide healthy snacks. In addition, Armenian cuisine is served on special nights. Menus are designed by certified nutritionists and food is prepared fresh each day. All campers are encouraged to eat a well-balanced diet.
If you have any other questions, please email us at email@example.com
At AGBU Camp Nubar we embrace our Armenian heritage in all of our daily activities. Campers are required to attend an Armenian class every other day where instruction in language, history, culture, song and dance is taught by our energetic counselors. Campers are also encouraged to explore their unique heritage outside the classroom through camp wide events, cooking lessons, daily prayers and weekly church service.
Camp Nubar is proud to welcome visiting clergy throughout the summer to preside over our weekly church services. Campers and staff participate together in the Divine Liturgy and benefit from the weekly reflection.
We find a way to make learning fun and campers and counselors alike leave Camp with a greater attachment to the Armenian community. A true sense of pride is developed as a camper becomes part of the Camp Nubar Family.
Information Regarding Children's Camps in New York State: As AGBU Camp Nubar is located in the State of New York, it is subject to the rigorous requirements of the laws of the State of New York, and is required to inform you of the following information pursuant to New York State Sanitary Code Subpart 7-2 regulating children's camps:

CHARLOTTE -- North Carolina teachers spent the summer training to teach high school math in a new way this year.
"We spent the summer working with more than 200 math teachers to get them ready," said Ann Clark, superintendent of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.
Clark says teachers are getting ready to use a more integrated approach with new standards set by the state in June.
"I think it's going to be a great thing for our students this year," said Rob Leichner, secondary math specialist for CMS.
Leichner is one of about two dozen educators across the state who helped create the new curriculum, and most of it, he says comes from feedback from students and teachers.
"We looked at every single one of those survey responses, about 800 survey responses, and incorporated those into the new standards that were written," said Leichner.
So basically, students used to learn math in separate topics like Algebra I or Geometry.
But a few years ago, North Carolina adopted Common Core standards, which integrated the subjects over three levels: Math 1, 2 and 3.
Teachers say it's been confusing because there was never a starting or stopping point for teaching certain concepts which overlapped each course.
So now, the new standards give them clear concepts and functions to teach at each level.
"We were using three different kinds of textbooks, you know," said Hema Lalwani, secondary math specialist at CMS.
But now Lalwani is working with CMS teachers to create a textbook to follow the new standards, and CMS is even getting it published with Walch.
"And based on those topics, Walch aligned their materials like the worksheets, the powerpoints, the teaching materials and the student materials," said Lalwani.
One, easy guide North Carolina teachers didn't have before.
"They know the content, it's just a matter of adjusting which course it's being taught with," said Clark.
So learning math is easier for students.

Blue Door Kitchen & Garden Ratings and Reviews
Great place for a date. The environment is comfortable and well appointed. The space is small but doesn't feel cramped. Service is attentive and friendly. Although this is comfort food, it is not heavy. The NY strip steak is a generous entree but the meat is not dense. The duck entree was small by comparison yet very tasty. Mac and cheese is a must!
Service was good - intentions great but missing a few key items
1- ask how I'd like my salmon prepared or indicate typical preparation
2 - ask for clarity on an order versus assumption
3- when replacing an item in a dish letting me know prior to assuming I can eat the replacement
Overall will go back - maybe just spotty due to mid week lunch crew.
Great flavors overall and solid menu options.
The restaurant is beautiful and the waitstaff does well. The food however was less than ordinary. Their was nothing special about their buttermilk fried chicken which is a specialty. I personally enjoy Popeyes Fried Chicken and would take PFC over their $25 BFC any day. Plus the spoonful of mashed potatoes was just a trial. Their Short Rib dish was an overload of gooey saltness, the rice it came with was just the same. The drinks were okay. We dined here to celebrate our anniversary and felt only disappointment in regards to our goal of satisfying and exciting our taste buds. Extremely pricey for their execution of food and drinks.
One of us had the fried chicken Benedict. It was tasty, everything else that was supposed to be hot was except the chicken was cold . The manager stopped by the table to see how we were enjoying our food and we let her know about the chicken. My friend did not want to make a big deal about it and told her not to replace the food as she had offered. Literally, less than 2 minutes later she delivered a new plate of food. That was awesome EXCEPT the chicken was cold on that one too-my friend said it was colder than the first one. We asked our server if that was how it was supposed to be served but he said he wasn't sure and said he would ask the kitchen. When he returned he told us that the item had been removed from our bill which was appreciated especially since my friend only ate a portion of the meal ....by the way we never found out if that was how it was intended to be served.
The manager was very attentive and accommodating and because of this we will try Blue Door Kitchen again.
Went here when the restaurant was called Table 52. It was outstanding. This visit left something to be desired. Had the shrimp and grits- grits had very little flavor compared to when I had them a few years ago. The food was still good quality, but no longer stellar.
Gorgeous spot. A gem in a cute neighborhood with lots to see in the area. A cool little cigar spot on the corner (Briggs Mansion). Its quaint and intimate but not stuffy. The food was fabulous. The bar was great. Nice season drinks but open bar available. Great farm to table menu and they were generous to provide a nice hummus special entree on the house.
Such a find this little spot. Service was impeccable and down to earth, yet classy.
The decor was great down to the small details. LOVE it!
Service was very rushed. We arrived early for a 5:30 reservation on a Sunday night and the server rushed us to the point that it got annoying. In spite of telling the server that we wanted a few minutes to visit and enjoy our drink, he came over three times asking if we were ready to order. No consciousness at all of interrupting conversation either. In fact, our entree plates were removed before we had put down our forks on the last bite. They had us out the door by 6:45. I understand that a diner that is seated at 5:30 should expect to turn the table over for a later seating, I don't expect to spend $30 for an entree and $16 for a glass of wine and get whisked out the door in the time it takes to eat dinner at Chipotle. I did not have this experience the last time I was there.
We shared the fried chicken as an appetizer and that was great! We each had a main course that was just average (short rib and burger). Wouldn't say it was bad, but would not order again. The service was great and it was quiet enough to have a conversation. We would go again in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor patio.
Despite it being noisy, they
immediately turned down the music when requested. But it is a charming place, love their patio
Lovely server. Had to request salt
as none of us prefer egg with no salt
and egg cooled before salt in dish to share arrived, sparse for all four of us
Good food! We had fried chicken and the shrimp and grits. Both were excellent and the portion was much more than we could eat. Great for the next day!
This is a great stop for a small, lively atmosphere for dinner right near shopping, hotels, bars. But make a reservation!
What a find for us. Comfortable and casual but very professional staff and amazing food. Our server was the perfect balance of friendly, professional and attentive without being intrusive. We had the butternut squash soup and pierogi as starters. Both very tasty, fresh and appropriate portions. We each ordered the fried chicken - oh my it was perfect. It came w local honey and house made hot sauce using a bit of both made the perfect balance. We shared the bubble & squeak and Mac & cheese sides. We had plenty of food and took a couple pieces of chicken to go. Highly recommend this spot
Great food and service!!!! Loved strawberry rhubarb mimosas and glazed porkbelly as well as beignets. Surprised with 4 pieces chicken with waffles...for brunch. Only minute negative was wind coming in when patrons entered. Could be larger to get true entryway and block wind.
Food was fine, ambiance was fine, and overall nothing special. A lot older crowd than I excpected. We were by far the youngest group there at 8pm and we're in our 30's. I think we were sat in a bad spot, right by the door, so the ambiance was not much for us. No one disliked their meal, or the service, but no one in our group would return.
We had a great experience. Appetizers for our group was the ceviche, perogies, and corn chowder...all excellent. Mains were duck (excellent), buttermilk fried chicken (an enormous serving...too big, really), and the short rib (a bit tougher than expected). The hummingbird cake and chocolate pecan pie were amazing. Service was excellent. One main complaint was that we absolutely froze anytime the door opened. We had the ask the hostess to bring us our scarves and shawls from the coat check to wear while we ate. They really should fix that issue. There is nothing to keep the wind for blowing into the whole restaurant when the door is open.
A few problems this evening: Devilled eggs with little flavour, burger and pork dishes over cooked, inconsistent service, smoke from kitchen throughout the restaurant. Good points: nice room, tasty hummus, nice salads and delicious hummingbird cake. But salads came with main course instead of first course. Manager comped salads...which we appreciated. All in all a mixed bag.
Food served was cold, unappetizing and tasteless. Service was pushy. Too expensive when one leaves half the meal because of quality and not because of appetite. We normally do not order desserts but did so because we remained hungry. We should have returned individual dishes but it was a special birthday celebration and did not want to completely ruin the evening.
We definitely enjoyed our time! Food was delicious and the atmosphere was terrific! Several in the party ordering Bloody Marys and were extremely underwhelmed with them -- said they tasted like clam-juice//watery...our server exchanged them no problem, but the guests found them to be strange for a Blood Mary. All in all, we had a great meal.
Fried chicken was average at best Hamburger was the worst ever. Like shoe leather cold cheese on it. Soup was good Took a while to get service at the table. Had a problem changing reservation from 5 people to 6 on Thursday Called on Friday and it was no problem suddenly Refuse to go back
Not a good experience
Our waiter, Oscar, was great...very attentive and very pleasant. Thank You Oscar!
We looooved the music selection-great picks!
I would like to see a chocolate cake on the dessert menu, similar tasting to the one that was offered at Table 52. I disappointed that chocolate cake was no longer available.
We had a delicious meal at Blue Door Kitchen. We tried short ribs, salmon, pork and fried chicken....all wonderful! Our cocktails were creative and reflected the fresh, farm-to-table vibe of the restaurant. Very welcoming staff, including our waitress, the bartender and the manager, Brendan. I will definitely come back to Blue Door Kitchen on my next trip to Chicago.

Mirrorless Vs. DSLR – Why I ditched my Canon gear for Sony
The first shot I used the A7r for in Cambodia, with Canon 70-200 f/4 IS and Metabones III adapter. Switching from a DSLR to mirrorless So there are many articles out there covering photographer's transitions from their beloved camera format to Sony, but I wanted to share my reluctant transition and obviously the 'why' for waiting and ultimately moving over. I was a hold out for nearly a year, very wary of the idea of moving to a smaller camera body that had a limited lens selection and would force me to really shake things up with the gear...Read More

The convict experience
During the first 80 years of white settlement, from 1788 to 1868, 165,000 convicts were transported from England to Australia.
Transportation wasn't limited to Australia - it was a method various governments had been using for dealing with convicted criminals. The most common reason for transportation was theft – this included pickpocketing, shoplifting, stealing horses and sheep, highway robbery, housebreaking and receiving stolen goods. In some cases, the theft was associated with violence.
You didn't have to steal much to be exiled– even pinching a handkerchief was deemed a transportable offence.
Less common reasons for being transported were the crimes of rape, manslaughter, murder, forgery and even bigamy.
Convict labour
Governor Phillip often employed convicts according to their skills; they may have been carpenters, servants, cooks, farmers or shepherds before they were transported.
Convicts were a source of labour to build roads, bridges, courthouses, hospitals and other public buildings, or to work on government farms, while educated convicts may have been given jobs such as record-keeping for the government administration. Female convicts, on the other hand, were generally employed as domestic servants to the officers.
Crime and punishment
Convict discipline was invariably harsh and often quite arbitrary. One of the main forms of punishment was a thrashing with the cat o' nine tails, a multi-tailed whip that often also contained lead weights. Fifty lashes was a standard punishment, which was enough to strip the skin from someone's back, but this could be increased to more than 100.
Just as dreadful as the cat o' nine tails was a long stint on a chain gang, where convicts were employed to build roads in the colony. The work was backbreaking, and was made difficult and painful as convicts were shackled together around their ankles with irons or chains weighing 4.5kg or more.
During the day, the prisoners were supervised by a military guard assisted by brutal convict overseers , convicts who were given the task of disciplining their fellows.
At night, they were locked up in small wooden huts behind stockades. Worse than the cat or chain gangs was transportation to harsher and more remote penal settlements in Norfolk Island, Port Macquarie and Moreton Bay.
It is now known that this document was not written by Robert Jones in 1823. The identity of Robert Jones has been the subject of conjecture. Research by Reg Wright ('Who was "Buckey" Jones?', Descent, vol.28 part 3, Sept. 1998) has shown that the person most likely to be Robert Jones (also known as Bob Buckey or Bob Jones) was a convict transported to Norfolk Island in the second voyage of the Scarborough in 1790. He received a Conditional Pardon in 1796 and an Absolute Pardon for services as gaoler in 1800/1801. In 1802 he stated that he simultaneously held the positions of Superintendent, Gaoler and Chief Constable. Following the closure of the Norfolk Island settlement, Jones was appointed Superintendent at Port Dalrymple and later Assistant to the Superintendent of Police at Sydney in 1811. He died in Sydney, aged 47, in 1818. Robert Jones died in 1818, so he cannot have written the Recollections in 1823. Reg Wright believes it to be 'a work of fiction actually produced about 1850 or an even later date'. This estimate is based on an examination of the many inaccuracies in facts and chronology which occur in the text. In addition, the watercolour illustrations depict buildings erected after 1823. This document has been widely used as a source of information on the convict era. The identity of its maker remains unknown.
[plate 3]
The Flogging of Charles Maher
The Flogging of Charles Maher, 250 lashes, (single flogger)
little effect in subduing the most hardened criminal. Thursday April 11 I well remember the date, began the most stormy weather on record here. The cascade was partly destroyed.
The flogging of Charles Maher allmost brought about a mutiny. his back was quite bare of skin and flesh. Poor wretch he received 250 lashes and upon receiving 200 Kimberly refused to count, meaning thereby that his punishment was enough
That's the ticket
In the first 50 years of white settlement, society was changing rapidly. Free settlers were moving to Australia, and convicts were increasingly employed to work for them. As convicts either finished their sentence, or were pardoned, they were able to earn a living and sustain themselves through jobs and land grants. By the mid-1830s, most convicts were assigned to private employment.
The easiest way for a convict to reduce their sentence was to work hard and stay out of trouble. They could then be given a ticket-of-leave or pardon.
Ticket-of-leave holders were allowed to work for themselves, and to acquire property, on the condition that they live within a specified district and report regularly to a magistrate. Any misbehaviour at all could result in the ticket being taken away from them.
There were two types of pardon available – a conditional pardon was granted by the governor on the condition that the former convict stayed in the colony. An absolute pardon gave a convict unconditional freedom to travel wherever they liked in the world. Convicts who didn't qualify for either a ticket-of-leave or pardon were given a certificate of freedom once their sentence had been served.
See more pardons and tickets-of-leave here.
Convict clothing
Until 1810, the government haned out civilian clothes or 'slops' to convicts – there was no need for a uniform because nearly everyone in the colony was a convict. However, as more free settlers moved to Australia, and convicts finished their sentences, it was necessary to be able to easily distinguish the convicts.
The new uniform consisted of a coarse woollen jacket, a yellow or grey waistcoat, a pair of trousers and long socks, shoes, two cotton or linen shirts, a neckerchief and hat.
Dated from the year convict transportation ended on the east coast of Australia.
Mounted on card inscribed: "This brass button was found in the ruins of the Australian Agricultural Company's cottages in Pit Row off Darby Street, Newcastle. The A.A.Co. worked their mines from 1830 by convicts assigned to them by the Governor of N.S.W. These convict miners were housed in Pit Row and fed and clothed by the A.A.Co. The buttons were made in England for the Convict Clothes. 1922." In later hand: "Pit Row is now known as Swan Street at bottom end of Anzac Avenue". Dated from the time of transfer of the Newcastle Mine from the Government to the Australian Agricultural Company. Reference: 'The Australian Agricultural Company 1824-1875' / Jesse Gregson.

Pope sends condolences to victims of Baghdad bombing
Pope John Paul II sent a telegram of condolence yesterday for the victims of the blast that devastated the UN headquarters in Baghdad. In his message, issued through Vatican State Secretary Cardinal Angelo Sodano to the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, the Pope expressed "profound grief" over the news and sent his condolences to all those working for the UN and the families and friends of the victims. The Pope said he was praying for the victims and asking God to bring comfort to their families. He also "implored all those involved in acts of violence to abandon the paths of hatred", to enable "the spirit of reconciliation to prevail so that Iraq could see a new era of peace, justice and social harmony". By last night, the death toll in the truck bomb attack had reached 15, and more than 40 people were injured. Among the dead was Brazilian Sergio Vieira de Mello, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and UN special envoy in Iraq who survived for several hours trapped under the rubble of the destroyed building.

El Al Firing 650 Employees
Climbing fuel costs, falling tourism leave little choice, says mgmt
El Al (TASE: ELAL) is streamlining to cope in an era of climbing costs and shrinking business, in part by firing 650 employees.
At least that's part of the demands the management listed in its negotiations with labor representatives.
Out of the 650 marked for dismissal, 400 are temps.
However, the labor representatives object to the cutbacks and demand the management first slash other costs.
Moving onto the pilots, the management demands they spend less time abroad, and stay at lower-class hotels.
For the second quarter of 2006, the airline, which is owned by the Borovich family, admitted to losing $15.1 million. In the parallel quarter of 2005 it had netted $29.8 million.

Engine Testing
The demand for environmentally friendly and more powerful jet engines is pushing engine design to new limits.
The correct interpretation of lifetime-relevant vibration phenomena is one of the most challenging and important tasks that can be successfully accomplished with laser vibrometry.

Lifetime-relevant vibration phenomena
Blade integrated disk (blisk) technology is an innovation increasingly used in the design of jet engines. Non-contact measurements taken with a Polytec Scanning Vibrometer are essential for precise vibration mode visualization and discrimination between acceptable and unacceptable localized vibration amplitudes. For more information, see the article "Using Scanning Vibrometry to Visualize Localization Effects of a Jet Engine Compressor Blisk".
