|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Treetops, a Fred L. Savage-designed, traditional Maine Shingle-Style 'Cottage' is situated upon more than two acres of landscaped floral gardens and spruce forest. It offers delightful water views from a porch that wraps around two sides of the house. On the east side, an awning covers a large sitting area.
The front door opens from the porch into a large, welcoming entrance hall with a staircase to the second floor. To the right of the entrance hall, one enters a beautifully furnished living room with fireplace and four french doors that open to the covered porch. To the left of the entrance hall, one enters a formal dining room with fireplace that seats 14. The first floor also features a cozy library with fireplace, a large kitchen with dining area and two spacious pantries, a casual family room and a laundry room.
The second floor includes a sunny master bedroom suite with water views, fireplace, dressing room and multiple closets. There are five additional bedrooms on the second floor, three with fireplaces, and three full baths. Two of the bedrooms share a screened-in private porch.
The third floor includes five bedrooms, one of which offers a private seating area, and two full baths. The entire third floor is accessible from front and rear staircases.
The property includes a large parking area covered with crushed pink granite stone. A bike rack sits at one side of the parking area. Crushed granite walkways lead to the house through the gardens.
From the time we drove in the driveway I knew I was at home. The house and grounds are grand yet in a comfortable kind of way. The inviting large porch was where we gathered in rain or sun and even at night. The night sky is so clear, and there is a telescope for stargazing and planet identification. This was fun for the adults as much as the kids. The kids varied in age but all had something to do. There were hideaway spots to read and have no one find you, or large rooms where all could gather to play games. The kitchen was big enough to have the whole family involved in cooking dinner and the 2 stoves and 2 dishwashers made for easy service and clean up. Acadia is right down the road so, out the door you go everyday with an endless list of activities for everyone in our group. At the end of the day coming back to your own house to relax with family is the real treat. I have never felt so comfortable in someone else's home. It was spotless from top to bottom. I have never had a house live up to all expectations like this. We are hoping to do it again next year but maybe 2 weeks is needed.
Magical... that's how we'd describe our weeklong experience in Treetops! What a lovely combination of elegance and comfortable living... for example, underneath the counter in the butler's pantry is a whole drawer full of art supplies for kids! Please review the pictures - they're gorgeous, but hardly can do justice to the whole.
We had 16 in all, 4 generations ranging in age from 2 to 80, and all were comfortable! The early risers enjoyed the sunshine and quiet with coffee on the porch without disturbing teenagers who slept until noon! (Ditto the night owls enjoyed the sprawling porches and view of the sound in moonlight without in the least disturbing those who slept early.)
The color and texture of the gardens (front and back) were a feast for the eyes, and we even clipped a few stems to enjoy inside. The spacious kitchen welcomed all who were hungry or who just wanted to linger over a glass of wine or a mug of steaming coffee (and the fridge and freezer are commercial-sized).
When family togetherness got to be a bit much, it was easy to find a comfortable place to hide away with book or music... yet, the graciously sized dining and living room accommodated Mom's 80th birthday celebration with room to spare! Hide and seek heaven!
Gorgeous master suite, yet every other room is spacious and a gem, too. In the manner of Fred Savage homes from that era, there are shared baths on each floor (2 on 1st, 4 on 2nd, 2 on 3rd), but amazingly there is plenty of hot water and no one ever waited for a bathroom. The home is spotless, the owner is gracious and eager for you to enjoy your stay, and the wonderful caretaker, Duncan, could not be nicer or more helpful!
Walk down the hill to the bakery/pizza place for piping hot muffins in the morning; deposit them on the table for the late risers, and bike to Jordan Pond from the house. You're within an easy drive of Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Cadillac Mtn. In fact, you can take the Island Explorer anywhere you want to go from its stop at the bottom of the hill! Just down the hill are wharf and sandy beaches. Abel's Lobster Pound accommodated 16 of us for a grand dinner, and we enjoyed Seafood Ketch one day in Bass Harbor.
This lovely home, Treetops, is a sparkling addition to the mix of rental places - go and enjoy! You'll be so glad you did!
Acadia National Park surrounds the village of Seal Harbor and offers a range of activities including hiking, mountain biking, road biking, bird watching, sea kayaking, boating, fishing, and other outdoor activities. The region has some excellent restaurants including many specializing in lobster and seafood.

SEASIDE, Calif., (April 14, 2010) -- The 2010 Mountain West Conference Championships for the University of Wyoming women's golf team is set to get underway Thursday April 15 through Saturday April 17, in Seaside, Calif.
The Cowgirls enter the final tournament of the year with the reigning individual champion in senior Jonelle Martinez playing on the same course from a year ago. The Black Horse Golf Course will be the site where New Mexico came away with their second straight MWC team title with a three-day total of 903 (+39).
Martinez led the Cowgirls last season with her three round total of 221 (+5), two strokes better than junior Britney Choy of New Mexico. Martinez was also named to the All-Conference squad for the first time in her career.
Currently the Cowgirls are led by sophomore Juanita Rico and junior Molly Black with their 17th and 18th respective conference rankings for stroke average. Rico averages 76.44 throughout her 27 rounds thus far this season. Black is just behind with a stroke average of 76.56.
Last season the Cowgirls as a team finished sixth out of seven teams with a final total of 942 (+78) strokes.
The Cowgirls will have two freshman compete in their first ever MWC Championships in Dana Zamprelli and Taylor Smalley. Zamprelli has competed in 24 rounds this season while Smalley has participated in 21, both enter with more experience than most freshman.
The championships will be one round of 18 holes each day and live results will be available at either www.themwc.com or www.golfstat.com.

Pearlescent Accents On Cakes...how To?
Decorating By Foxicakes Updated 15 Jul 2010 , 9:56pm by quietude
There have been several beautiful cakes that I have seen that have this pearlescent coating on the fondant. Sometimes the entire cake has it, sometimes it it just a few of the accents while the rest of the cake is a flat white. I always assumed that this was done with luster dust that had been mixed with alcohol. However when I was checking out the cake design store, globalsugarart.com, I found this Glitter Piping Gel in several different colors, like silver and pearl. Can you tell me is THIS the stuff that is used to get that effect? And if not, what is this stuff used for? Thank you!!
When the whole cake has it, it's usually done with an airbrush and pearl airbrush color. You can paint with the airbrush color and a paintbrush, but it takes a little practice not to leave streaks. The one I've used is Amerimist pearl sheen.
I use either PME lustre spray or luster dust mixed with lemon extract or vodka. They both work beautifully, but I prefer the spray for covering a large surface.

Upbringing and Education in The European Context: A Christian View and Proposals for a Contribution
- Authors

- Catholic Faculty of Theology, University of Zagreb; [email protected]
- Publication Date
- Source
- Legacy
- Keywords
- Disciplines
This article starts from the presumption of immeasurable spiritual and material wealth that the Church, through its activities, has brought and built in the educational processes in the past. As opposed to a certain ideology of neutrality of education and a neglect for upbringing in society (based on forgetfulness of the anthropological determinants), the article emphasises the internal dynamics of Christian values which is present in every historical era, including the contemporary one. Christianity, with its theological (primarily Christological) specificity remains a challenge to society because it interprets the question about meaning and significance at the level of anthropology and culture that, unavoidably, had and continues to have impact on society. Based on the claims of R. Spaeman and P. Donati and in relation to upbringing and education in Europe, the author shows why is the Christian approach to myth, cult, ethics and other elements of formation (such as the value of revelation, memory and experience) interesting. In this effort, the author keeps in mind that Christianity has a particular approach to the relationship between the sources of knowledge (faith and reason), as well as the sources of agency (freedom and love). All this has been and continues to be vitally reflected in the European culture and its notion of organisation of life in society over which the eschatological dimension continues to exert formidable influence. On the basis of historical constants, the author attempts to find possible connections with today's questions in upbringing and education. Amongst these, he finds the imperatives of anthropological foundations (and their theological basis) to be most significant in the European context which is sliding toward a system built on the aforementioned neutrality and in-difference (a difference that does not differ).

No. 12/634,581, entitled Devices, Systems, and Methods for Material Fixation, filed on Dec. 9, 2009.
All of the above prior applications are commonly owned and herein expressly incorporated by reference, in their entirety.
The present invention relates generally to devices, systems and methods for material fixation. More specifically, the present invention relates to techniques that can be used to firmly hold a soft tissue or graft against bone tissue within a bone tunnel.
It is known that the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is comprised of two bundles, the anteromedial (AM) bundle and the posterolateral (PL) bundle. However, the traditional transtibial ACL reconstruction re-creates only the AM bundle, and recent data has shown that this may not restore normal rotational knee kinematics. In order to address this deficiency in rotational stability, surgeons have developed techniques to reconstruct both the AM and PL bundles of the ACL, comparing the double bundle reconstruction. These techniques, which require the to placement of two tibial and two femoral tunnels, increase the complexity of the operation, and this may result in increased complications and compromise revision surgery. In addition, the size of the tibial footprint may be prohibitively small in some patients, making it difficult to create two anatomic tunnels.
What is needed, therefore, are improved methods which do not require the creation of multiple tibial and/or femoral tunnels to achieve placement of a double bundle tendon graft.
The present invention comprises techniques which utilize a new implant system to reconstruct the ACL. The inventive techniques have been characterized as a "single-tunnel, double-bundle ACL reconstruction". This technique involves the use of a single femoral and tibial tunnel and an implant that separates and positions two distinct bundles. This allows for the surgeon to create a more anatomic reconstruction with a procedure that is less technically demanding, can be performed using a transtibial or anteromedial approach, minimizes tunnel widening, and decreases operative time. The result is a strong fixation option for soft tissue grafts, with circumferential graft compression at the aperture, high pull-out strength, and ease of use. The graft bundles are positioned in a more anatomic orientation through the above noted single femoral and tibial tunnel.
More particularly, there is described a method for repairing a damaged ligament surgically, which comprises a step of preparing a ligament graft to be inserted in place of the damaged ligament, wherein the graft comprises an anteromedial (AM) bundle having a plurality of graft strands and a posterolateral (PL) bundle having a plurality of graft strands. The preparing step further includes a step of securing the end of each graft strand of both bundles using suture, and a step of doubling the graft over itself. This suture securing step preferably includes stitching the ends of each graft strand using a whip stitch. Another innovative feature of the invention is the preferred usage of a first suture color to secure the graft strands of the AM bundle and a second different suture color to secure the graft strands of the PL bundle.
A femoral implant, which comprises movable portions which may be deployed to expand outwardly to engage adjacent bone, is selected to have a size suitably compatible to the size of the prepared ligament graft. A tibial tunnel and a femoral socket are created, using well known prior art methods, for receiving the ligament graft. Advantageously, unlike in prior techniques for attempting to utilize double bundle grafts in a single tunnel approach, no additional steps of widening the tibial tunnel or femoral socket are required to accommodate either the bulk of the graft bundles or interference fixation devices are required.
Additional method steps include securing the graft strand bundles to the femoral implant so that they extend proximally from both sides of the implant, wherein the AM bundle extends along one side of the implant and the PL bundle extends along an opposing side of the implant, and securing ends of the suture used to secure the graft bundles to an insertion device in a manner as to ensure optimal anatomical placement of the AM and PL graft bundles. The femoral implant is inserted through the tibial tunnel and into the femoral socket to a desired depth, following which, the movable portions of the femoral implant are deployed to expand outwardly into adjacent bone. The suture securing ends are disengaged from the insertion device, the insertion device is released from the femoral implant and proximally withdrawn from the tibial tunnel. Then, the graft bundles are tensioned, and their proper positioning in the knee is ensured.
Advantageously, neither the femoral implant nor the tibial implant utilize interference fixation to secure the graft. The graft strand bundles are secured to the femoral implant by inserting them through an aperture extending through the implant. In a preferred approach, the step of securing the ends of the suture to an insertion device comprises securing the ends of the suture extending from the AM bundle to one side of the insertion device and the ends of the suture extending from the PL bundle the an opposing side of the insertion device. The step of securing the ends of the suture to the insertion device comprises wrapping the suture about suture cleats disposed on the insertion device.
Another advantageous feature of the inventive methods comprises a step of making a horizontal mark on the tendon bundles at an edge of the femoral implant to serve as a depth indicator. Marks are also made on the graft strands that represent the AM bundle on the both the implant end and the sutured end to assist in identification of the respective AM and PL bundles during the procedure.
Before the femoral implant is deployed, the grafts representing the AM bundle are positioned in a poster-superior position and the grafts representing the PL bundle in an antero-inferior position prior to deploying the femoral implant.
The step of tensioning the graft bundles preferably further comprises a step of securing the suture ends extending from the AM bundle to one side of a tensioning device and a further step of securing the suture ends from the PL bundle to an opposing side of the tensioning device, in order to ensure that equal tension is applied to each graft.
The inventive method additionally comprises a step of inserting and deploying a tibial anchor for securing the graft bundles in place within the tibial tunnel.
The invention, together with additional features and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying illustrative drawing.
The present inventive technique is indicated for primary and revision reconstruction of ACL deficient patients. The procedure should be considered for any patient with a pronounced pivot shift, and therefore, rotational instability. The inventive ACL reconstruction techniques afford surgeons a strong fixation option for soft tissue grafts, with circumferential graft compression at the aperture, high pull-out strength, and ease of use. The graft bundles are positioned in a more anatomic orientation through a single femoral and tibial tunnel.
Arthroscopy and Preparation
In accordance with the inventive techniques, the patient is positioned supine on the operating table in the ACL position preferred by the surgeon. A diagnostic arthroscopy is performed and concomitant pathology is addressed. Diagnosis of ACL rupture is confirmed and the ACL remnant is derided. The center of the both the tibial and femoral footprints of the ACL are identified and marked with a thermal device prior to complete removal. These locations will serve as the center for the femoral socket and tibial tunnel.
Graft Preparation
A hamstring autograft or allograft is recommended. Alternatively, if tibialis allograft (anterior or posterior) is used, one half of the graft must be divided into two segments, each with an approximate width of 6 mm. In the illustrated example, graft preparation is completed using the Gracilis and Semitendinosis tendons.
Referring particularly to
Once the graft strands are stitched, the graft is doubled over itself and measured with a sizing guide, such as a graft sizing block (not shown), trough which the graft bundles are pulled. Using a graft sizing block, a diameter is selected through which the graft bundle fits tightly, but still passes through. An appropriately sized femoral implant 26 is then selected, and each graft strand is mounted onto the femoral implant 26, by inserting the strands through the implant aperture 28 as shown particularly in
Tibial Tunnel Placement
A tibial tunnel 30 and femoral socket 32 (
Femoral Socket Placement
The femoral socket 32 is positioned in the center of the femoral footprint, low on the femoral notch (two o'clock in a left knee, ten o'clock position in a right knee). This location is typically accessible with an ACL over-the-top guide through the tibial tunnel. Alternatively, if this point is not accessible through the tibial tunnel, a low antero-medial portal is employed. The guide pin for the femoral fixation device should be inserted to the cortex of the femur. Depth marks on the guide pin indicate the length of the femoral tunnel. After insertion of the guide pin, the pin is over-reamed with the appropriately sized reamer, usually 9 or 10 mm, to a depth that permits femoral implant placement (minimum 30 mm).
Graft Placement and Fixation
The distal end portion 14 of the insertion device 10 comprises a shaft 34, to the distal end of which is secured the femoral implant 26, as shown in
The femoral fixation device 26 with the graft 16 properly positioned is inserted through the tibial tunnel 30 (or the AM portal if this was used to create the femoral tunnel) into the femoral socket 32. This insertion step is preferably done while holding the implant inserter handle portion 12 with the safety pin 42 in an upward facing orientation, and the insertion step continues until the implant is moved distally into the femoral socket to the marked depth location 40. This step is illustrated in
The device is then deployed, providing for aperture femoral fixation. This is done by ensuring the implant is in proper position and the safety pin 42 is completely pulled out of the handle 12, by pulling upwardly (
With the inserter handle 12 held firmly in place, the implant deployment knob 46 may be rotated (
Once the implant 26 is deployed, the sutures 36 are disengaged from the suture cleats 38, as shown in
A tendon expander or suture tensioning device 52 is held in an orientation generally perpendicular to the tibial tunnel (
As shown sequentially in
Once this tensioning procedure has been completed, it is time to insert the tibial sheaths and screw, with the sheaths being oriented so that one bundle sits at the PL aspect of the tunnel and the other sits on the AM border. The knee is placed in full extension, and with the graft under tension, the tibial sheaths 58 are inserted into the tibial tunnel, between the tendon bundles, such that cortical engagement tabs 61 (
At this juncture, a tibial screw 62, selected to be of a size to match the diameter of the tibial tunnel, is securely placed onto a distal end of a tibial inserter 64 (
Accordingly, although exemplary embodiments of the invention has been shown and described, it is to be understood that all the terms used herein are descriptive rather than limiting, and that many changes, modifications, and substitutions may be made by one having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years, and I cheated on him on one drunken night. We have been in a long distance for a few months and that's when it happened. I told him the next day, and I feel completely horrible and love him so much. I know its a big mistake and I can't take it back. I want to gain back his trust and hopefully get back together. I have already given up alcohol and am working on making myself better. He has agreed we still can still have contact with each other. Any advice on how to get him back?

In Windows Vista Microsoft introduced two closely related features: Application Restart and Application Recovery. These features are designed to eliminate much of the pain caused by the unexpected termination of your app, whether as a result of an unhandled exception, a "hard hang," or any other crash.
"Application Recovery" applies to apps that've a "document" or any other in-memory info that might be lost when the app closes unexpectedly. "Application Restart" applies to all app, whether they might have unsaved data or not, and to more unexpected closes, including a DLL update or a system reboot. Today, a large number of apps such as Windows Office (Microsoft Word and friends) use these features. Even if something does go wrong (and when it comes to software, it's most likely that at some point something will go wrong), the app together with the operating system can provide a seamless recovery path that makes the user feel a little less frustrated.
To register the app to restart and recovery in case it crashes again. Simply call the RegisterForRestartAndRecovery method by passing a string as the name of the app, the doc as the data object to save, and the file type to save.
The recipe takes care of everything for you. The temporary recovery files are saved in the Roaming Application Data folder usually located at "C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming". The file names are guaranteed to be unique, the format is up to you, binary or XML. This way, we can make sure that a given application can handle multiple users and multiple crashes. Once recovered, the files are removed.
Here's a short video by Kate Gregory, explaining this in great detail:
And, this video showing the native APIs.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/5/2011 (2281 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg's most famous wounded avian is still waddling onwards, four days after it was spotted with an arrow lodged in its neck.
On Wednesday morning, Norma Drosdowech and her granddaughter were admiring some wildlife on the Red River near her home just off River Road in St. Vital, when they realized that one of a pair of Canada geese looked a little… different.
"My granddaughter said, 'Oh, that goose has something odd,'" Drosdewech recalled. The pair pulled out binoculars to take a closer look – and realized the goose had a hunter's arrow stuck right through its neck.
It's a surreal but now-familiar sight: the bird made headlines after being spotted on Sunday afternoon by a Winnipegger out for a walk in Crescent Drive Park, across the river from Drosdowech's home.
Drosdowech called a number of wildlife experts, hoping that someone might be able to bring the bird some help.
But for now, there's not much goose-spotters can do: the goose is more spry than its injury might suggest, explained staff at the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre.
In fact, wildlife experts have been trying to catch the goose for days, but the bird can both swim and fly and has fled all attempts to catch it – a common feat for the famously slippery Canada geese.
If anyone is able to corral the goose, they are recommended to contact the Wildlife Haven. Fort Whyte Alive has also said they will take the bird, if it can be caught and brought in.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 105mm F1.4E ED review: The best-performing lens in the lineup below 200mmBy Kevin Carter - Tuesday December 13 2016 Lens Review
With a slightly narrower angle of view and a slightly greater image magnification than the 85mm, resulting in marginally more pronounced subject isolation, the 105mm has long been a popular alternative. This new high-speed F1.4 autofocus model from Nikon will eventually replace the earlier AF DC-Nikkor 105mm F2D (defocus control) model, and is currently the fastest of its type.
At around $2,199, it features a complex optical design with no fewer than 14 elements in 9 groups, and a minimum focus distance of 3.28 ft (1.0 m). The new lens includes two large-diameter extra-low dispersion glass elements, and a single aspherical surface. Externally, the lens has the same cosmetic appearance as other AF-S models in the lineup, and includes a sonic-type AF motor and wide-focus collar with full-time manual override. With a large 82mm-diameter accessory thread and measuring 4.17 x 3.72" (106 x 94.5 mm), the lens is considerably larger than the maker's 85mm F1.4 model. It is also quite a heavy lens, weighing in at 2.17 lb (985 grams).
We've analyzed the lens on the second-generation, 36-Mpix full-frame Nikon D810, and are delighted to share the results.
Measurements: Outstanding sharpness and uniformity
As one might hope for in a lens from one of the most respected manufacturers in the industry (and from a lens costing over $2,000), the 105mm performs exceptionally well. Used with the AF-S Nikkor 200mm F2, it is the best-performing Nikkor lens in the lineup. On the 36-Mpix Nikon D810 full-frame body, it has very high sharpness levels (equivalent to 33 Mpix of detail), low distortion, and superior chromatic aberration correction. Although it has high sharpness wide-open and excellent peripheral sharpness, peak performance is achieved at f/5.6-8. On the flip side, it has quite significant vignetting (although just –2EV at its maximum), with traces visible in the lab at all apertures. It has good-to-excellent transmission of T1.7.
Comparison 1: Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED vs. Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED vs. Nikon AF DC-Nikkor 105mm f/2D
Against its predecessor the AF DC-Nikkor 105mm F2D and the still-current AF-S VR Micro Nikkor 105mm F2.8G IF ED (a lens used for portrait photography as much as for macro photography) the new 105mm F1.4 lens has significantly higher sharpness levels than either model. It has certainly been designed with high-resolution sensors in mind, though (as always) the figures don't tell the whole story.
What's surprising is the slightly lower-than-expected sharpness levels of the 105mm macro. It's not that the macro is a poor performer; it has excellent sharpness wide-open and it has very good uniform sharpness across the field. It's just that the macro is overshadowed by the new 105mm F1.4.
Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 105 mm f/1.4E ED vs. Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85 mm f/1.4G vs. Nikon AF-S Nikkor 58 mm f/1.4G
At around the same price as the new Nikkor is the highly-regarded 85mm F1.4G. Anyone looking at adding the 105 mm F1.4 to their kit bag should also be tempted by the 85 mm as an option. And there is a lot to like.
Besides the slightly wider angle of view and closer 0.85 m minimum focus distance, the 85mm is around a third smaller in volume and weight. It doesn't quite match the 105mm in outright sharpness in the lab, nor is it as sharp wide-open, though that's mainly due to lower peripheral sharpness. But it's very close. The main weakness of the 85mm F1.4 is not its sharpness, however. Although relatively easy to remove in post-production, it has quite noticeable lateral chromatic aberration — a fact that can't have escaped the designers of the 105mm.
Rather than look at a Zeiss 85mm, we've chosen the AF-S Nikkor 58 mm f1.4G to compare. This beguiling model is one of Nikon's most misunderstood lenses (along with the DC focus-control models). It was designed to offer the user control over sharpness by aperture selection alone, much like lenses of only a few years ago.
In retrospect, it was an unfashionable aesthetic choice. Sharpness at the initial aperture is similar to that of the Canon EF 50mm F1.2L, which the Nikkor was likely targeting, but is low by comparison with more modern rivals such as the Sigma 50mm F1.4 and the manual focus Zeiss Otus 1,4/55. Stopped down, however, the 58 mm offers comparable performance, though the edges still can't compete with either the 85mm or the 105mm.
If you're in the market for a high-speed short telephoto, you will have likely considered the AF-S Nikkor 85mm F1.4G, but you may unsure about that model's slightly higher-than-expected chromatic aberration. The 105mm F1.4 makes an interesting alternative.
Older Nikon users may recall a similar dilemma during the 80's, when the company had both a manual-focus 85mm F1.4 and a 105mm F1.8 in the lineup. Back then they were introduced side-by-side, but a few years separates the two models today, and the 105mm F1.4 has even higher optical performance and image quality. There are some trade-offs, though. One of the 85mm's most attractive features is its more manageable size: the 105mm is significantly larger and heavier.
However, the new model has more uniform sharpness across the frame, even wide-open — useful if you're composing away from the center; and it has far lower fringing than the 85mm. Although there's little to choose from between the two focal lengths, the improved performance of the 105mm F1.4 could be enough to sway potential purchasers away from the 85mm F1.4.

I would also like to know if it actually acts as a 95mm. Please give us an answer.
Added by artmaltman | December 16 , 2016
Is this 105mm lens really 95mm?
I think I found a chart showing that DXO measured the Nikon 105mm f1.4 lens at 95mm. Very little focus breathing, it just says 95mm across the board. The chart is in Measurements, Distortion, under profiles. Am I interpreting this correctly?
Added by artmaltman | December 15 , 2016
Focus Breathing?
DXO! Thank you for the excellent reviews. How about adding focus breathing to your measurements? One online review says that the 105mm behaves more like a 95mm. Can you confirm?
Added by Narek | December 14 , 2016
Really sharp and good lens. Good job Nikon. And DxO for reviewing it.
Added by manzurfahim | December 13 , 2016
Excellent technical review
Thank you very much for the technical review. I have this lens and the review is pretty consistent with what I have experienced so far. Really a sharp lens and the only match is my 200mm f2G VRII.

Developers move to rebuild Atlantic City beyond casinos' shadow
Atlantic City planning officials are examining ways to leap past the tarnished legacy of the casino industry and attract new residents.
On Wednesday, the city's planning department is holding a public forum with several developers who are working on new apartment and condo buildings.
According to the city, more than 600 new housing units are in some stage of development in Atlantic City. "What will it take for you to live or buy a second home in AC?" is the question posted by Wednesday's forum
Developers point to Atlantic City's new business-friendly Mayor Don Guardian as a hopeful sign. Guardian supports tax abatements and other kinds of public incentives to lure new business, especially noncasino projects. He's declared that turning Atlantic City's economy around is a priority.
Last year saw the closure of four of Atlantic City's 12 casinos, costing thousands of jobs and sinking property tax revenue.
Still, Philadelphia developer John Longacre thinks Atlantic City is worth betting on.
He's planning about 30 apartment units in a former government building last occupied in 2008. He thinks there is ample demand for more housing there. If his hunch is right, he said, he'll be planning even more residential dwellings.
"The casino industry has held Atlantic City hostage for the last 25 years, and now that they're closing, Atlantic City is breaking those shackles and moving forward," Longacre said. "Atlantic City is just going to reinvent itself as a beach town that happens to have gaming, as opposed to a gambling town that has a beach."
One effort to rebrand the Atlantic City image may have crumbled. A $30 million annual budget intended to promote the city through national tours and the "Do AC" slogan will instead be directed to the city's plummeting tax base. The plan is pending a final vote by state lawmakers.
Tax woes aside, developer Longacre said once the city can attract more vibrant businesses, people will follow. He said his project will feature a ground-level restaurant or retail shop.
"Increasing the year-round population is really going to be the key to fixing Atlantic City. But you're not going to fix the year-round population unless you put in businesses that people want to go to," Longacre said.
"People from 22 to 50, say, are not necessarily looking to go to a casino every weekend. But they would go to a good restaurant, a good retail store, or a yoga studio. Amenity-based businesses that just don't exist in Atlantic City right now."
Not every real estate observer is bullish on Atlantic City's prospects. Philadelphia real estate agent Mickey Pascarella said that sparking a revival in the oceanfront city will be challenging, as rates of unemployment, poverty and crime all remain high — and that's in addition to what some consider to be the most obstacle hurdle.
"You're fighting the fact that people don't love casinos, that your target audience doesn't love casinos. And at the same time, the city is on a downward spiral in terms of casino employees and casino footprint," Pascarella said. "So you're going to be losing revenue and residents from the city at a time when you're trying to move it forward."

The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

Extract of sample
The Sacrament of Baptism
Furthermore, Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration by way of water in the word. It is also defined as the sacrament of supernatural rebirth. Moreover, it gives us a new life. The sacrament of baptism is the first of the seven sacraments not only in time but in priority. This is because other sacraments depend on it (catholicism.about.com). The sacrament of Baptism is necessary to Christians as Christ Himself ordered His disciples to preach the Gospel to all nations and baptize those the accept the message of the Gospel. (John 3:1-21), during His encounter with Nicodemus, He made it clear that for salvation baptism was necessary: "Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man is born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Furthermore, for Catholics take baptism as a mark of a Christian as it brings Christians into a new life in Christ. The biblical root of the sacrament of baptism The biblical root of the sacrament of baptism is evident as many events in Israel's salvation history direct to the saving grace found in the waters of baptism e.g. Israel Crossing the Red Sea, the great Flood and the Israel crossing the River Jordan into the promised land. In the Gospel, at the beginning of Jesus' public ministry, he was baptized by John in the River Jordan. ...

Nevertheless, an in-depth look into the nature of Wicca somehow dispels most of the previous negative concepts associated with it. Far from its reputation of destructiveness, Wicca is actually a religion of natural healing and deep spirituality. Due to the absence of higher authority, prophet or Bible in Wicca, it is difficult to specify the basic tenets and principles of the religion. Nevertheless, there remain 13 principles upon which Wiccan belief is based. First, Wiccans feel the need to attune themselves to nature or the "natural rhythm of life forces" (Robinson, 2010). These forces...

The Role of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Baptism
The general use of purification in the pagan manner of worship means cleansing before entering the temple, after engaging in warfare, before handling of idols which they considered sacred, and to put oneself in a spiritual position. Christian baptism basically is for the purpose of cleansing the person so that they may receive the Spirit of God (Thomas, 2008). Washing which was done by immersion in some pagan religions was the first step in the ceremony of initiation and it was concluded with a meal (Edward, 1994). This seems to resemble the cleansing done before the Eucharist or communion...

Consequently, they could only be included in the religion through holy bath or baptism in order to associate them with their parents as the followers of Jesus Christ. Infant baptism, according to American Catholic Organization, only makes sense if parents are true Christian disciples. If they are not, then it makes little sense to initiate their children into a Church which calls for a commitment to living the mission of Christ (2012). Baptism is conducted with the same religious fervor as the ancient Jews used to make arrangements for the execution of circumcision of the newly born boys in...

Luke wrote about the early Christian leadership development in the first seven chapters of Acts of the Apostles. The focus is majorly on Jesus' teachings, the spread of the Gospel, and the events that were experienced in Galilee and Judea. As church leaders and more so the Apostles spread the gospel, they experienced hardships such as persecutions, incorporation of foreigners, maintaining distant followers, and issues of church leadership and policies. 2. Controversies about Gentile Christians The great controversy in the early church was about whether or not Christianity had to be simply...

Sacrament of Baptism
Baptism is seen as a way to salvation for the Catholics who consider the church as the universal sacrament of salvation. Catholics believe that the manner in which one is baptized is not important but the idea that they are baptized is. The person administering the sacrament must not be a priest but anyone who has undergone baptism themselves. However, during critical moments for instance in sickness or near death, anyone can administer the sacrament provided they follow the right way of doing it. The father or other right authority will then conduct a conditional baptism (Vorgrimler, 2002)....

I've been sleeping with a guy for the last 6 months, I'm 24 and he's 32. I've never been with someone that much older than me so this is all new. We're not really dating but we've gotten really close. We hang out, watch movies and text often. We see each other 1-2 times a week and I sleepover at his place every other week. He tells me cares about me, that he likes me for more than just sex and that I make him happy. Neither of us are sleeping with anyone else but we've also never defined what we are and I'm okay with that.
Two weeks ago I told him I was falling for with him. He said "Thanks for being honest." I said maybe it'd be best if we stopped seeing each other. He said that's not what he wants but it's up to me.
I haven't decided yet on whether it's worth it to stay, I don't want to get hurt but maybe he just needs more tine to figure it out. If he didn't care about me wouldn't he just end it? Maybe he is just using me for sex?
I'm not really sure, I've never been in this situation. I've only ever had two long term serious relationships.
Any advice would be appreciated.

You've been sleeping with him for 6 months, you try to have "the talk" and he tells you you should stop seeing each other, and you are questioning if he's using you for sex? Of course he is! Now quit hanging out with the loser!00|00|0
