I will be down hunting the Cambridge area Thursday and Friday (11/14 and 11/15). I normally make the drive down, but was wondering if any had recommendations on private homes that may be available for short term rentals. 3 guys, place to park a truck off street. I have already checked the typical vacation rental websites and only found a few that would be reasonably priced for three guys. Please PM me with information.
I am aware of the the hotels available in Cambridge. Anyone ever leave kayaks/canoes in their truck (secured with locks/cables) without them walking off?
Thanks for the input.

UNC advanced to the national championship game with a 1-0 double overtime victory over Stanford on Friday. Penn State defeated Florida State 2-1 in overtime in the first semifinal game on Friday.
North Carolina was the #2 seed in the lower left quadrant of the NCAA Division I Tournament bracket and advanced to the semifinals against Stanford by beating the BYU Cougars in the NCAA quarterfinals 2-1 in double overtime in Provo, Utah on November 23. The Cougars were the #1 seed in the lower left quadrant of the NCAA bracket.
Carolina was the only non-No. 1 seed to advance to the NCAA College Cup. #1 seeds Stanford, Penn State and Florida State all made the final 4 teams.
UNC is ranked #14 in the final Soccer America poll and #13 in the final NSCAA coaches poll heading into Sunday's game against Penn State which finished sixth in the final Soccer America ratings and fifth in the final NSCAA rankings.
Carolina is 14-5-3 entering Sunday's national championship game while Penn State is 21-3-2.
SUNDAY'S TELEVISION INFORMATION: North Carolina and Penn State will meet at 4 p.m. EST Sunday afternoon in the NCAA championship game to be televised nationally on ESPNU. The game will be also be shown on WatchESPN.com.
Beth Mowins will serve as the play-by-play announcer with Stanford alumnus Julie Foudy serving as the analyst and UNC alumnus Cat (Reddick) Whitehill serving as the sideline reporter.
CAROLINA BACK TO THE COLLEGE CUP: North Carolina returned this season to the College Cup for the first time since 2009. It marks the 26th NCAA College Cup appearance for Carolina in the 31-year history of the tournament.
With a 2-1 double overtime win over BYU in the quarterfinal round, UNC improved all-time to a remarkable 25-0-1 in NCAA Tournament quarterfinal games. The only blemish came in 2005 when UNC and Florida State played to a 1-1 tie in the quarterfinals with the Seminoles advancing to the NCAA semifinals 5-4 on penalty kicks.
The win also assured the fact that the Tar Heels have never gone more than two years without making the College Cup. UNC failed to make the College Cup in back-to-back years in 2004 and 2005 and again in 2010 and 2011. The other season in which the Tar Heels fell short of the College Cup was 2007.
CAROLINA IN NCAA TOURNAMENT SEMIFINAL GAMES: With the 1-0 double overtime win over Stanford on Friday, Carolina improved in NCAA Tournament semifinal games to an all-time record of 24-2 in semifinal contests. UNC's semifinal losses came against Notre Dame in 1995 and against Santa Clara in 2002.
CAROLINA IN NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES: Carolina is 20-3 all-time in NCAA Championship games. UNC's lone losses in the NCAA final came against George Mason in 1985 (2-0), Florida in 1998 (1-0) and Santa Clara in 2001 (1-0).
DUNN, OHAI AND ELBY SPARK QUARTERFINAL WIN: UNC advanced to the NCAA Tournament semifinals by beating second-ranked BYU November 23 by a 2-1 score in double overtime in the NCAA quarterfinals. Crystal Dunn scored both goals for the Tar Heels, in the fourth and 107th minutes, with Kealia Ohai assisting on both goals. Sophomore Brooke Elby also made an incredible game-saving back save on a breakaway by BYU's Lindsi Lisonbee Cutshall in the first overtime period that kept the game tied at 1-1 and set up Dunn's game-winning heroics in the 107th minute.
Dunn has five goals this season, all in NCAA Tournament games - one each against Radford, Illinois and Baylor and two against BYU.
TAR HEELS MAKING A HABIT OF ENDING LONG WINNING STREAKS: In the first five rounds of the NCAA Tournament, the Tar Heels eliminated a quartet of teams which headed into the post-season amongst the hottest teams in the country.
In the NCAA first round, UNC met Radford, winning 2-0. The Highlanders came into that match on a 17-game unbeaten string (13-0-4) and had not lost since a 1-0 setback at East Tennessee State on August 26, 2012.
In the NCAA third round, UNC faced Baylor, advancing 4-2 on penalty kicks after playing to a 1-1 double overtime tie. The Bears came into that match on a 20-game unbeaten string (16-0-4) and had not lost since a 2-1 setback at Long Beach State on August 26, 2012.
In the NCAA quarterfinals, UNC matched up against BYU, winning 2-1 in double overtime. The Cougars came into that match on a 21-game unbeaten string (19-0-2) and had not lost since a 1-0 setback at Utah on August 25, 2012 (BYU can't play Sunday games so that match was on a Saturday).
In the NCAA semifinals, UNC met up with Stanford, winning 1-0 in double overtime. The Cardinal came into that match on a 20-game unbeaten string (19-0-1). Stanford had not lost since a 1-0 setback at West Virginia on August 26, 2012.
TAR HEELS END OVERTIME HEX: When UNC defeated BYU 2-1 in double overtime in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals on November 23, it notched its first overtime win since August 26, 2011 when the Tar Heels beat #1 Notre Dame 2-1 in overtime at Fetzer Field.
In the nine overtime games since the win over Notre Dame, UNC had gone 0-4-5. UNC was 0-4-2 in its last six overtime games of 2011 and 0-0-3 in its first three overtime games of 2012.
UNC continued to excel in overtime in the NCAA semifinals as the Tar Heels notched their second straight overtime win by beating top-ranked Stanford 1-0 in double overtime.
Carolina's four overtime losses in 2011 were all the more remarkable for the fact the Tar Heels lost only six overtime games in their 32 pervious years of program history (1979-2010).
THREE STRAIGHT OVERTIMES IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT: North Carolina has advanced in the 2012 Tournament via extra time in the third round, quarterfinals and semifinals. A penalty kick survival against Baylor was followed by double overtime wins against BYU and Stanford.
Prior to 2012, Carolina played in a total of nine overtime games in its NCAA Tournament history and never more than one game in any tournament.
CAROLINA'S BALANCED SCORING: The 2012 UNC team is not one of the highest scoring teams in UNC history, but it is one of the most balanced scoring teams. Carolina's 51 goals are the second lowest total in Tar Heel history (44 in 2011).
Summer Green and Kealia Ohau share status as UNC's leading scorer with 21 points each but seven Tar Heels overall have between 12 and 21 points on this team. Amber Brooks has 20, Maria Lubrano 18, Ranee Premji 15, Crystal Dunn 14 and Alyssa Rich 12. Ohai leads the Tar Heels with eight goals while three Tar Heels - Green, Brooks, and Lubrano - have seven goals each and six have at least five assists, led by Premji with nine.
A RARE PENALTY KICK WIN FOR THE TAR HEELS: When North Carolina advanced past Baylor in the NCAA Tournament third round, it marked the first time in history that Carolina had won a penalty kick shootout in NCAA Tournament play and only the second time the Tar Heels had advanced on penalty kicks in any setting.
After playing to a 1-1 overtime tie with Baylor on November 18, UNC prevailed 4-2 on penalty kicks. Successful penalty takers for UNC included Maria Lubrano, Alyssa Rich, Kelly McFarlane and Katie Bowen.
UNC had lost two previous NCAA Tournament shootouts. The Heels fell to Florida State 5-4 in the 2005 NCAA Tournament quarterfinals and 5-4 to UCF in the 2011 NCAA Tournament third round.
The Tar Heels had also been in four ACC Tournament penalty kick shooutouts, going 1-3. UNC lost in the ACC finals on penalty kicks against NC State in 1988 and against Virginia in 2004. In ACC Tournament semifinal games, UNC prevailed on penalty kicks against Virginia in 2007 while falling to Wake Forest in 2010.
ANOTHER NCAA BID: When Carolina made the 2012 NCAA Tournament field it marked UNC's 31st successive bid to the NCAA Tournament. Carolina is the only team in the nation to make the tournament field all 31 years of the Tournament's existence.
UNC has advanced to the Round of 16 or beyond in every NCAA Tournament ever played. Each of the previous two years, however, it was the third round game that had tripped UNC up. Carolina fell to Notre Dame in 2010 and to UCF in 2011. Carolina's last quarterfinals appearance was in 2009 against Wake Forest. The Tar Heels beat the Demon Deacons 5-2 and advanced to the College Cup.
Carolina's game November 23 at BYU marked the 27th time in school history that the Tar Heels had played in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. It was UNC's first-ever road game in the Round of 8 in NCAA history. The Tar Heels had played all 26 previous quarterfinal games in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels had been a top four seed on all of those occasions except 2000 when Carolina was a No. 5 seed. But fourth-seeded Nebraska was upset in the third round that year by UConn, allowing that Tar Heel team also host an NCAA quarterfinal.
Prior to the game at BYU, UNC had last played a true road game in the NCAA Tournament in the 1996 NCAA semifinals when it won 2-1 at Santa Clara.
NINE GOALS VERUS ILLINOIS: Carolina exploded for nine goals in its second round NCAA Tournament victory over Illinois on November 16. The nine goals were the most scored in a game by UNC since it defeated Guilford 9-0 on September 6, 2002. The last time UNC had scored nine goals against an NCAA Division I opponent was September 21, 2001 in a 9-0 win over Georgia. The nine goals scored by Carolina matched its high scoring output in an NCAA Tournament game. The last time UNC had scored nine goals in an NCAA game was November 21, 1996 in a 9-0 win over Florida in the quarterfinals. The nine goals were one short of the NCAA Tournament record of 10 set by Texas A&M against Texas State in 2004.
UNC's NCAA TOURNAMENT RECORD: Carolina has an all-time NCAA Tournament record of 114-8-3. The Tar Heels have won 20 of the previous 30 NCAA Tournament championships. Carolina's last title came in 2009 when it defeated Stanford 1-0 in College Station, Texas.
Carolina has lost only eight NCAA Tournament games in history and has made at least the Round of 16 in each of the 31 tournaments.
UNC VERUS PENN STATE: Carolina 4-1 all-time against Penn State, including a mark of 2-0 in NCAA Tournament meetings. The Nittany Lions won the first ever meeting of the teams in 1999 but Carolina has won the last four matchups against Penn State.
FINAL REGULAR SEASON RANKINGS FOR THE TAR HEELS: UNC was ranked 14th in the Soccer America poll and 13th in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll heading into NCAA Tournament play.
SOCIAL MEDIA: You can follow match action on Twitter at @ncwomenssoccer (official feed) and @uncwomenssoccer (players feed).
Live stats for the match will also be available on GoHeels.com.
THE NCAA RPI: North Carolina finished 10th in the final RPI report from the NCAA which was issued on November 5, 2012. On paper that would indicate the Tar Heels would be worthy of a #3 seed in the tournament. Instead, Carolina was elevated to a #2 seed by the NCAA Women's Soccer Committee.
It would appear likely that the Tar Heels benefitted greatly from its strength of schedule. UNC's 21-game schedule has featured a Who's Who of the top levels of the RPI. This included two games against #7 Virginia as well as single games against #1 Stanford, #4 BYU, #5 Florida State, #8 Florida, #9 Baylor, #13 Marquette, #14 Duke, #16 Wake Forest, #19 Portland, #21 Notre Dame, #23 Boston College, #25 Maryland, #30 Virginia Tech, #44 Illinois and #50 Miami. UNC also played #67 San Diego, #69 Connecticut and #85 Radford.
Fifteen of UNC's 22 games so far are against teams ranked in the Top 30 of the RPI.
Penn State was ranked #3 in the final regular season RPI.
BROOKS NAMED ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA: University of North Carolina senior midfielder Amber Brooks was named to the Capital One Academic All-District III Team for the third successive year as announced November 1 by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
On November 29, Brooks was named a first-team Academic All-America by Capital One and CoSIDA
In 2011, Brooks was named a second-team Academic All-America by Capital One and CoSIDA.
The District III team represents student-athletes from the states of North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Voting for the All-District Team is conducted by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America in those three states.
Brooks was also one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award.
THE ALL-TIME RECORD: UNC heads into its match against Penn State with a record of 742-49-29 overall, a winning percentage of .922.
AVERAGE RECORD PER YEAR: UNC's average record per year in its 34 years of soccer is 21.82 wins per year, 1.44 losses per year and 0.85 ties per year.
SIXTEEN ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAS SINCE 2005: UNC has had 16 selections for the Capital One Academic All-America first, second and third teams since 2005, including two players in 2011. Carolina also had seven women's soccer players named Academic All-Americas from 1983-2001, giving the program 23 selections since the Academic All-America program began in 1983. Following is a summary of the 16 selections from 2005-11.

Sweet Neem offers a social gathering for foodies
By ADAM SWIFT
Sunday News Correspondent | May 25. 2013 1:53AM
Mohini Durgampudi shows some of the exotic foods she uses during her brunch tastings at Sweet Neem Tasting Table. (ADAM SWIFT/Union Leader Correspondent)
With a focus on fresh and out-of-the-ordinary foods, Durgampudi has opened Sweet Neem Tasting Table, located at the Creative Chef Kitchens space at Hannaford Plaza.
"It's part social gathering, part armchair travel and part cooking school, without the cooking," she said.
Durgampudi said she has always been interested in food and cooking and decided to make the jump from being an information technology cubicle drone to opening Sweet Neem Tasting Table.
Pointing to a plate of fresh green plums, Durgampudi said she is willing to pick up and share items she has never tried before.
Although Durgampudi said she will use ingredients from across the globe, she said her Indian background means that much of what she offers has a decidedly Asian influence.
For example, she said an upcoming Sunday will focus on lentils with plates including lentil soup and green lentil pancakes.
Durgampudi said she hopes to grow Sweet Neem Tasting Table so that she can one day open her own storefront restaurant.

For investigations of pressure distributions on wind tunnel model surfaces with high spatial resolution new experimental techniques, such as Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) are required. Using this non- intrusive optical pressure measurement technique, spatial structures and/or rapid temporal or spatial changes of aerodynamic phenomena (transition from laminar to turbulent flow, coherent structures, pitching airfoils in transonic flows with shocks, rotors, test facilities with short run time and different flow temperature etc.) can be investigated. The PSP technique has also expanded from the measurement of steady state pressures to include both periodic and unsteady phenomena to study the instantaneous structure of pressure fields in various areas of fluid mechanics.

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: Calliope hummingbird sighting sparks excitement
STACEY COLE | January 24. 2014 10:42PM
Arthur Cleveland Bent in his "Life Histories of North American Birds," published by the U.S. Printing Office in 1940, wrote of the Calliope hummingbird:
Bluebirds in December were inquired of by a Salem reader who wrote in part: "I am writing to tell you of an interesting bird sighting on December 24th, at my house. I saw three eastern bluebirds! I have also seen these bluebirds here during the summer and fall. I am not sure if bluebirds are a rare bird sighting, but in my 38 years of living in New Hampshire, I had never seen one until this summer. Do you know if there have been more bluebird sightings in New Hampshire?"

Meanwhile, I have to lean towards GMO crops and various pesticides. The one they banned in France (it makes insects lose their memory so they can't find their way home--but I can't find or remember the the name at the moment) is a good example.
Has anyone with CCD found a note saying "So long, and thanks for all the HFCS?" :-D

Please note, this post pertains to the 2012 hours reduction. Currently library hours can be found on the hours calendar [1].
Dear Campus Community,
In response to recent University budget cuts, the library has reduced its operating hours. The library will no longer be open 24 hours 5 days a week, and hours will be slightly reduced on Fridays and Saturdays.
In order to provide overnight study space and wireless access, the Atrium/Cyber Cafe area will remain open Sunday-Thursday nights between 2 AM and 7:30 AM. There are some computers available in this area, and to help ensure safety of students, a security guard will be on duty. Entry will require an Appcard.
At the library, we know that being open 24 hours 5 days a week has been popular with students, and understand this cutback is a disappointment. However, a 16% budget reduction has forced the University to make difficult choices. The library remains dedicated to providing the highest level of research support and services possible.
The typical schedule of library hours will be:
Sun: 12:30 PM - 2 AM
Mon-Th: 7:30 AM - 2 AM
Fri: 7:30 AM - 6 PM
Sat: Noon - 6 PM
(Exceptions to these hours during holidays and breaks are posted on the library hours calendar [1]).

Trouble for Keystone XL pipeline in Nebraska; opposition to Keystone elated
GRN Reports:
A judge has overturned a law approving passage for the Keystone XL pipeline through Nebraska, saying that Gov. John Heineman overstepped his authority in the case when he granted permission in Jan. 2013 for a new pipeline route through the state.
Lancaster County Judge Stephanie Stacy ruled Wednesday that Heineman's approval was invalid because the decision should have been made by the Nebraska Public Service Commission, which regulates pipelines and other utilities, according to the Associated Press.
The ruling is likely to bring further delay to the project, which aims to bring tar sands crude oil from mines in Alberta across the continental US to refineries near Houston.
Environmentalists have vocally opposed the pipeline, saying it will unleash a torrent of carbon pollution on the world, exacerbating climate change and prolonging the transition to cleaner, renewable energy.
Two years ago, a coalition of environmentalists, farmers and ranchers in Nebraska picketed the governor's mansion and the state's unicameral legislature to turn down the pipeline, which was originally routed to pass through Nebraska's delicate Sand Hills region. The opposition won a reprieve and pipeline construction stopped for a time. Later Heineman approved a new route for the pipeline.
Three landowners sued, claiming Heineman did not have the authority to go around the state's regulatory body, and today, Judge Stacy agreed.
Jane Kleeb, director of Bold Nebraska, the umbrella group for the Keystone opposition in Nebraska, issued a statement expressing the landowners elation at winning the case.
"Citizens won today. We beat a corrupt bill that Gov. Heineman and the Nebraska Legislature passed in order to pave the way for a foreign corporation to run roughshod over American landowners," Kleeb said. "We look forward to the Public Service Commission giving due process to a route that TransCanada will have to now submit to this proper regulatory body in Nebraska. TransCanada learned a hard lesson today: never underestimate the power of family farmers and ranchers protecting their land and water."
Dave Domina, the lawyer who handled the case for the landowners said that under the court's ruling "TransCanada has no approved route in Nebraska."
"TransCanada is not authorized to condemn the property against Nebraska landowners. The pipeline project is at standstill in this State," Domina said.
The court's 50-page opinion criticizes the law that enabled the new pipeline route as unconstitutional. Given the pipeline's status as a "common carrier" (of public goods), it would need to be regulated by the Public Service Commission under the Nebraska Constitution, according to the ruling.
The full expanse of the 1,700 mile pipeline has not been approved, though President Obama gave permission for construction of the southern leg through Oklahoma and Texas. Citizens also opposed the pipeline in those states, with landowners and protesters setting up several citizen actions, including a tree sit-in, along the pipeline's construction path.
The full Keystone pipeline requires the permission of the US State Department because it crosses an international border at Montana and Alberta.

text: It shouldn't be, but it was. Actually it was a mixed reaction. However, for the Olympics they could not take that chance - that's my interpretation of it. The judges told them that they wanted them to skate to classical music. Even though B&S wanted to skate their beloved Chaplin(Citylights) program, they had to skate to classical. It turned out beautiful, but if they had a choice, they would have been original/creative. It depends on the goal.

Update on Relevant Regulations
NHTSA Publishes Changes to Safety Gants
MAP-21 included a number of changes to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) grant programs. On January 23rd, NHTSA issued an Interim Final Rule making the necessary changes to the programs and requesting comments. One of the most significant changes, according to the agency, is to the 402 grant program, which includes new performance-based requirements for the states' Highway Safety Plans.
DOE Requests Exemption for HOS Requirement for Certain
Earlier this month, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) received an application from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for an exemption from the 30-minute rest break provision of the agency's hours-of-service (HOS) regulations. According to the request, the exemption would enable DOE's contract motor carriers and their employee-drivers engaged in the transportation of security-sensitive radioactive materials to be treated similarly to drivers of shipments of explosives. The exempted drivers would be allowed to use 30 minutes or more of attendance time to meet the HOS rest break requirements, providing they do not perform any other work during the break. Comments on the exemption are due February 13, 2013.

FMCSA Releases Motorcoach Fatigue Study
FMCSA has released a study, entitled Motorcoach Driver Fatigue Study, 2011, which compares different sleep schedules to determine their impact on fatigue for motorcoach drivers. The study looked at three different options:
- 10 full hours of night time sleep
- 10 full hours of day time sleep
- 10 hours, split into two 5 hour sleep periods- 3am to 8am / 3pm to 8pm
The study concluded that, while 10 full hours at night is the best schedule, the split sleep schedule resulted in better rest for the drivers than 10 full hours during the day.

I would like to see it compared to Nikon 60mm 2.8 micro. It makes more sense than comparing it to the 105mm.
Can we expect Nikon 60mm (2.8 micro) test results soon?

Re: Nikkor 60mm micro
I've got the same question than you, about a macro lens topic (all brand) :
1-Why a legendary lens as the 60mm Nikkor or the 150mm Sigma are not tested?
2-Could be very comfortable to have a preselection of macro lenses to compare.
3-The various tables of results should be more thick colored & contrasted in performance with faded backviews on this site.

Greetings again all,
I wanted to say thanks to all for the warm welcome and say that I have undertaken a Jango kit. I have bought a few items here and there from members and will begin to start putting the kit together within the week hopefully. Jango is the second of 2 projects right now as I also am working on an imperial scout as well. I will hopefully be putting pictures up soon. The one question I do have is in regards to the helmet. Any suggestions on where to start with that? I have read the forums and I am not at the point of making one myself yet so would like to find a reference for a possible purchase. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am though going to attempt to make the chest armor myself, hopefully not too daunting of a task. Thanks!

Bills running back C.J. Spiller is still being bothered by his ankle injury. According to head coach Doug Marrone, Spiller's ankle is not 100 percent, "but I think it's getting better and better ...." This was backed up by Spiller participating in Thursday's practice, albeit in limited fashion. He sat out Wednesday's practice.
Wide receiver Stevie Johnson missed Week 6 because of a back injury, but Marrone said the team "didn't notice any limitations at all" when he tested it out Wednesday. Johnson was upgraded to full practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Analysis:
Johnson will be ready to play against the Dolphins. However, with three catches and 18 yards in his last two games, and Thaddeus Lewis under center, you should look for better options if you are starting three WRs.
Spiller is tough to judge because his lack of health has kept him from seeing a healthy amount of work. He's basically limited to 10-12 touches per game until he gets right. But he is such a dangerous runner, and Miami is the tied for most fantasy points allowed to running backs this season, I would still put Spiller in RB2 territory. I just can't quit him.

Claim damaged or downed trees as a tax deduction
March 10, 2012
Did you lose a tree this year due to wind or snow damage? Did other trees have serious storm damage?
If so, then the casualty loss incurred from fallen or storm-damaged trees can be claimed as a deduction on your income taxes. Damage from vandalism or other man-made causes, like a vehicle pushing a tree over, also qualifies.
The tax deduction may be the only financial break most property owners get for tree losses because rarely are trees covered in homeowner's insurance. That makes the tax deduction worth knowing about.
What qualifies as "damage?"
Trees that have been damaged 50 percent or more may be claimed as a total loss. Trees that are damaged less than 50 percent may be claimed based on the percentage of the damage or loss. Thus, loss on a tree that has been damaged 40 percent may be claimed at 40 percent of the tree's full value. This could apply to trees that lost major limbs from high winds or snow damage, for example.
What if the tree has been cut down, chipped and hauled away?
If the 30-ft. blue spruce that fell in your front yard has been cut up and hauled away, you may still be able to establish its value. You will need the invoice documenting the tree was removed that may contain other information about the size and species of the tree and nature of the damage.
You must also be able to document what the tree looked like prior to the damage. Use family photos or pictures from Google Earth which also has a setting that goes back in time for several years. Check all the views available for your property-aerial and street-to find your tree.
How do you determine the dollar amount of loss?
If your tree was small enough that it can be replaced with the same species of similar size, the loss is based on the cost to remove and replace the fallen tree with a new one. If you had a tree removed, keep the invoice for your tax records and research the cost of replacing the same species of like size.
Replacement trees for very large, mature trees are generally not available from a nursery, so you will need an appraisal that takes into account the species, size, condition (general health) and location of the tree. This evaluation will require a specially-trained expert or consulting arborist.
Since trees can appraise as high as $20,000 or more, it might be well worth the effort to call in an expert. The appraisal fees can also be included in the amount claimed in the tax deduction. Consult with your tax advisor to be sure you have the necessary documentation for the claim.
While it always hurts to lose a good tree, claiming the deduction may help fund a replacement.

I was a teacher in this school for the 2009-2010 school year. My experience at this school was wonderful and I recommend it to serious ESL teachers looking for work in Shanghai province.
My classes were a combination of three year students learning technical trades and four year English majors. In general all the students have a fairly high level of English, which is indicative of Shanghai Education.
The technical students are less interested in the English classes than their core studies but there is the opportunity to design the lessons around their fields of interest. This is very beneficial to the students because part of their technical training is given in English from teachers from Box Hill Institute.
Many of the four year students come from other provinces and their English level entering college can vary some. On the whole they are very interested in learning from a native speaker and there is the opportunity to make the lessons interactive and fun.
The school also teaches Chinese to students from all over the world which is really cool and creates a multicultural experience at school events.
The school has two campuses one in Minhang District and one in Pudong. The Pudong was still being built when I left but looked to be a nice addition. Minhang is about a half hour metro ride from the city center. The trade off is cleaner air and more open space. My only compliant is that I was unable to live on campus with the other staff because the school ran out of apartments that year.

Per Mertesacker wants to be judged on his first season as an Arsenal player - not just the first three months.
The Germany international was a transfer deadline-day signing from Werder Bremen and has been a virtual ever-present in Arsène Wenger's team since making his debut against Swansea City in September.
Mertesacker has brought experience and a calm authority to Arsenal's back four but, like any new recruit, he needed time to adapt to English football. The 27-year-old believes he's getting better with every game.
"I'm feeling good and I think that's the best thing," Mertesacker told Arsenal Player. "It was quite a short time for me to settle in and make the transfer happen - it was very close to the deadline so it was a tough month for me.
"I think in England the best players in the world are here. They have a lot of strength, a lot of speed, it doesn't compare to the Bundesliga. The technical [ability] is similar but the speed and the physical power is different.
"If you have no pre-season with the team then that makes it more difficult. People think it's easy to connect with your club, your team-mates, but it takes time.
"It's getting better and better and hopefully I can keep improving now. Let me play a season and you can get [the full picture] of my personality and my ability as a footballer."

If your holster is made to keep your, um, fat (there: I said it) from wiping the safety lever to "off," then you've got no worries, mate.
A proper holster for a gun carried in single-action "Condition One" (loaded, cocked, safety on) has a place in its leather (or Kydex) into which the safety lever fits when "on."
If your holster doesn't have that, I suggest getting another holster: One that does.
If your holster is leather, and it has a "sweat guard" that covers the safety lever, but the "sweat guard" is not molded to immobilize the "on" safety, you can dampen the leather in that one location and mold it around the "on" safety. Then let the leather dry out completely in a cool, dry location (using no heat at all), and you're all set.
If the holster is plastic, you might try to re-mold the safety area using a heat gun or a hair dryer. I don't hold out much hope, because it's very easy to melt the plastic, rather than remold it.
Pressure on the gun's hammer won't cause a negligent discharge, as long as the safety lever hasn't moved to "off."
BTW: There are no dumb questions. Well...the same question repeated for the third time is dumb, and not wanting to ask because you think that asking the question might make you look dumb is dumb, but no question is dumb.
If you want to learn, you need to ask. Period.

|I think when most find out it's too late. When we lost Cheyenne at 9yrs old we were devastated because he was never sick. He passed away in my truck on the way to the ER. He had a tumor near his heart that burst and he went into cardiac arrest, he never had a chance.
I had the option between a chemo trial at UPenn and the mushroom trial. I went with the chemo, with the hope of buying more time. This is our story.
Enjoy your boy, some dogs do better after surgery than others, so you have to stay positive and make best use of the time you have.
|BWCA Shepherd
|Thanks for the thoughts and information. Storm is sure back to normal for right now, ravenous appetite, waking me up every morning when the sun is up, so at least we have given him that. He would have perished within a day or two if the surgery was not done.
I'm very sorry. Many of us have gone through losing one to hemangio. The conventional wisdom is treatment is usually a lost cause -- by the time they find a tumor, it's usually already spread to other organs. The prognosis is so poor, and the chemo protocol so ineffective, that at most you get a few more weeks, or maybe a few more months if you are very lucky. I'm positive your oncologist already talked with you about that.
It sounds like you aren't talking about the conventional chemo and are looking at something new, still in clinical trial. I've read there are a lot of new experimental approaches being tested for hemangio. The world needs better chemo for hemangio, so maybe you could be part of something that someday may help more dogs. And maybe give yours a lot more time than the older treatments.
As for I'mYunity, I recall talking with a vet oncologist about it regarding a dog with a different kind of cancer. She was familiar with it, and thought it wasn't good to use during radiation but maybe during some chemo, depending on the one used. You should definitely have that conversation with your vet oncologist -- since the chemo you are looking at is new and experimental, there may be issues with cross-reactions that they'll want to think through. Every single supplement needs to be disclosed to the oncologist when planning treatment. She even gave me a recipe card for a specially formulated home-cooked meal, so that she knew exactly what he was taking in, and in what amounts. Even the vitamins and minerals in it were carefully tracked.
You might order a copy of Dr. Dressler's Dog Cancer Survival Guide, as it has a lot of info on neutraceuticals as well as conventional therapy. It gave me something to focus on when I was reeling from my last senior's cancer diagnosis.

My boy has Hemangiosarcoma..I have questions
Hi Everyone,
My Storm had a splenectomy/tumor removed a couple weeks ago. The diagnosis is hemangiosarcoma. I am finally sort of getting used to dealing with the emotions. Anyway, I am wondering whether anyone has experience with either the "Im'Unity" mushroom supplement, which is currently involved in a clinical study at the UPenn Vet Center, or experience with chemo-related clinical studies?
I have the chance to be involved with the University of Minnesota Vet Medical Center Clinical trial, where the surgery was done. I have heard both good and bad about chemo-related studies.
This is pretty devastating.

Fisher Cats 5K to draw big crowd of runners
The road race takes the starter's gun at 9 a.m. Thanksgiving morning, just outside the right field fence at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester.
In-person registration is available at the ballpark today from 4-7 p.m. and Thursday morning from 7:30-8:45 a.m.
In conjunction with this evening's registration, the Fisher Cats are hosting a Thanksgiving Eve party where participants, including pre-registered runners, can pick up their bib number and shirt.
More than 2,300 runners have pre-registered for the event.
"We encourage runners, walkers, baby strollers, you name it to come out and exercise on Thanksgiving morning," said race director and Millennium Running founder John Mortimer. "In only the second year of the event, it is the largest Thanksgiving race in New Hampshire, and this race is about families and traditions."
The Fisher Cats and Millennium Running have selected the NH Hospital for Children as the official charity for this year's race.
"We are excited to see the growth of this event as a new family Thanksgiving tradition," said Fisher Cats President Rick Brenner. "With our partners at Millennium Running and the event's presenting sponsor, MVP Health Care, we enjoy being a part of a fun event that benefits the outstanding work of New Hampshire's Hospital for Children."
The race route takes an out-and-back course heading north on Canal Street before returning south on Comercial Street through the Mill District. Participants enter the stadium in right field, circle the warning track and finish near third base.
Canal and Commercial streets will be closed to traffic from approximately 9-10 a.m. for the race, the sixth in the seven-race MVP Health Care Millenium Running Series.
"Currently, we have 407 people on track to complete the series," noted Mortimer.
The final series event is the Santa Claus Shuffle which takes over Elm Street in Manchester prior to the annual Christmas Parade on Dec. 1. There are currently 2,400 pre-registrants for that race.
For information on the Fisher Cats race or the Shuffle, contact Keith Tharp at 490-0810 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ok well I been gone for while, but I am back! Bought a house, had a kid, and need to get busy again!
Have a buddy that started a Fett and now he wants to sell off his parts... new interests I guess... Ya for me!
Soooo I figured I could take what he had and get started! Bucket is a GMH, but I am big boy and not a lot room in it, is that normal or should I be looking for different lid?
Then my wife and I were joking around and I said we should do Bill and Jill (Buffalo Bill) Fett costumes. Now we are SERIOUSLY thinking about it since the only one done was this guy (and he made his in 3 days). I was thinking more screen accurate approch with some artist leeway! Boba Bill - YouTube
Besides I can't leave out the wife (HOTHGIRL) she like to do a Female Fett as Jill Cheerleader...
His brother made a nice one~!
Fan Built Boba Fett Costume Replica - YouTube
Any input from you guys... I am thinking it prob take me a year with all I got on my plate but I think I want to commit to this build and have some fun! Figured I try this one for my first and go from there! Since it doesn't have to be PERFECT I can learn from my mistake on this before I build one I really want to go all out on!
Any input is welcome, plus have few fun ideas already!

Heartbreaking Walk-Off Homer Sends Green Bay Home With Loss
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
CHICAGO, Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay softball team once again found itself on the wrong end of a heartbreaking loss, this time in the form of a 3-0 walk-off loss at Loyola. Locked in a scoreless tie in the bottom of the seventh, the Ramblers used a two-out shot to center to pick up the win and sweep the series 3-0. The loss drops Green Bay to 12-25 overall and 5-12 in the Horizon League, while Loyola improved to 26-16 overall and 14-4 in league play.
The Phoenix had a productive first inning but was unable to plate a runner. Senior Dani Peerenboom singled up the middle with one out and was followed by freshman Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) who reached on a bunt to third. Junior Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) moved the runners to second and third with a sacrifice bunt, but a fly out to third ended the half-inning.
After both teams exchanged three-up, three-down half innings, Loyola was able to load the bases with two outs in the bottom of the second. A pop up to second base sent the game to the third, keeping the game scoreless.
A pitcher's battle ensued until the top of the final inning when Michalkiewicz picked up Green Bay's first hit since the top of the first. She singled on a shot to third base, but was out on the next play when Reinke reached on a fielder's choice. Freshman Alyssa Johnson (Elmhurst, Ill.) reached on a fielder's choice of her own, leaving a runner on first with two outs. An ensuing groundout sent the still-scoreless game to the home half of the seventh.
Green Bay sent the first batter back to the dugout after a foul-out to first, but the next batter was able to reach on an error. The Phoenix then picked up the second out of the inning on the next play after a fly out to left field. With two down and a runner on first, Loyola's Lauren Moore walked to put runners on first and second. Lauren Zaworski followed her and sent a a shot over the wall in center, sealing the walk-off win for the Ramblers.
Freshman phenom Michalkiewicz led the way with a 2-for-3 day at the plate, while Peerenboom had Green Bay's third hit of the day on a 1-for-3 effort. Senior Allison Goecks (Beloit, Wis.) took the loss (6-10) in 6 and 2/3 innings with six hits, three runs and three walks.
The Phoenix will take a break from Horizon League action this week for a doubleheader at Minnesota (30-15, 15-5 Big Ten) on Wednesday. Green Bay will then play its home opener in the final regular-season series of the season on Saturday and Sunday against Detroit. Barring any changes to the weather, the three games of the series will serve as the team's home opener, parent's day, senior day and regular-season home finale.

Gessner: 4-12 years not an acceptable sentence
November 15, 2012
What is a human life worth? What of a person who deliberately and calculatedly takes another person?s life? Do we want that person in our community or any human community?
Gregory Scott Gavin supposedly killed Karl Kohler in "the heat of passion" in that he was "in fear of his life." But by Gavin's own confession, Karl did not have a weapon and was on his hands and knees when Gavin began swinging away at his head with a baseball bat. Although Karl was immediately incapacitated, Gavin kept swinging. Gavin left the scene but returned again to beat him again to make sure he was dead. Where is the "in fear of his life" issue in all that?
The DA has pleaded this down to a lesser charge that carries only 4-12 years. Not having control over that issue, we are pleading with the court to assess the maximum years in the sentencing for this horrifically brutal act. Twelve years is not even close to being an acceptable sentence, but let us keep Mr. Gavin's freedom from him for as long as possible.
The court date is today at 1:30 p.m., Courtroom K, at the Summit County Courts in Breckenridge. Please attend the proceedings if possible to voice your support.
One also has to wonder if the public outcry and interest might be more if Karl had been other than a permanent camper in our forests. Let us hope that the value of human life is not determined by a person?s material assets. Karl was big on heart and I hope that his value is based more on that, than on his belongings. His value as my friend is priceless.
Steve Gessner, Dillon

Your digital camera is more than new incarnation of your old film camera. Yes, it still produces photos, but it also offers new outlets for creativity, including instant gratification of seeing your photos now, the ability to experiment without worrying about expense, the technology to fine-tune your photos with advanced professional techniques, and the means to share your work instantaneously with anyone, anyplace in the world. It's no wonder that digital cameras are outselling traditional cameras for the first time ever. But the question most digital camera users ask is this, "How do I get from taking 'decent' photos to doing the things I'd really like to do? How do I tap into that potential?"Digital Photography Hacks is your passport to taking the kind of digital photos you've always aspired to. Written by Derrick Story, photographer and author of Digital Photography Pocket Guide and other books, it goes beyond the standard fare of most digital photography books--such as camera basics, understanding memory cards, and when to use a flash--to the things that professional photographers have learned through thousands of shots' worth of experience, years of experimentation, and fiddling and hacking. The book includes a foreword by photographer Rick Smolan, author of America 24/7.With exquisite, full-color photos throughout, the book presents a collection of tips, tricks, and techniques for photographers ready to move beyond the basics. And if you don't have the latest in digital camera photography, this book will show you how to extend the life and functionality of your existing camera. All the hacks in the book are platform-agnostic, designed for use on both Mac on Windows-based computers. You'll find 100 proven techniques in the areas of:

Manic depression, also known as bipolar disorder, is a type of affective disorder that goes beyond the day's ordinary ups and downs. It is becoming an important health concern in this country.
Teen depression is a serious illness. The benefits of getting help, including taking medications if needed, far outweigh the potential risks.
Depression is a mood disorder that involves a adolescent's body, mood, and thoughts. It can affect and disrupt eating, sleeping, or thinking patterns.
The medical community once thought depression affected only adults. The risk for the condition begins in the early teens, however, and increases steadily through the mid-20s.

CERN Document Server (CDS) is the CERN Institutional Repository, playing a key role in the storage, dissemination and archival for all research material published at CERN, as well as multimedia and some administrative documents. As the CERN's document hub, it joins together submission and publication workflows dedicated to the CERN experiments, but also to the video and photo teams, to the administrative groups, as well as outreach groups. In the past year, Invenio, the underlying software platform for CDS, has been undergoing major changes, transitioning from a digital library system to a digital library framework, and moving to a new software stack (Invenio is now built on top of the Flask web development framework, using Jinja2 template engine, SQLAlchemy ORM, JSONSchema data model, and Elasticsearch for information retrieval). In order to reflect these changes on CDS, we are launching a parallel service, CDSLabs, with the goal of offering our users a continuous view of the reshaping of CDS, as well as increasing the feedback from the community in the development phase, rather than after release.
LHCb has introduced a novel real-time detector alignment and calibration strategy for LHC Run 2. Data collected at the start of the fill will be processed in a few minutes and used to update the alignment, while the calibration constants will be evaluated for each run. This procedure will improve the quality of the online alignment. Critically, this new real-time alignment and calibration procedure allows identical constants to be used in the online and offline reconstruction, thus improving the correlation between triggered and offline selected events. This offers the opportunity to optimise the event selection in the trigger by applying stronger constraints. The required computing time constraints are met thanks to a new dedicated framework using the multi-core farm infrastructure for the trigger. The motivation for a real-time alignment and calibration of the LHCb detector is discussed from both the operational and physics performance points of view. Specific challenges of this novel configuration are discussed, as well as the working procedures of the framework and its performance.
The decay B → D*τν is sensitive to new couplings, like those generated by charged Higgses. A 3σ discrepancy between the measured rate and the SM prediction has been reported by Babar. The first measurement performed at a hadron collider is presented.
CERN Document Server, multimedia poster for CHEP2015 conference.
The poster presents the recent measurement of $\sin(2\beta)$ using $B^0$ decays to the $J/\!\psi K_\text{S}$ final state. The measurement is based on a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0$\,\text{fb}^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. To control penguin pollutions in the determination of $\sin(2\beta)$, $B_s^0$ decays to the same final state can be analysed. The results of the corresponding analysis are presented as well.
Indico was born as a European project. In 2004, CERN became the sole owner of the project and decided to further extend its capabilities, enabling CERN users to manage lectures and meetings as well. This allowed Indico to replace the 'CERN Agenda' application. In 2007, a Room Booking module was added, thus allowing CERN users to book their rooms on-line. Indico became, in 2009, CERN's hub for collaborative tools, empowering collaborations such as the LHC and its experiments with video conferencing and chatting capabilities. Since then, several other features have been developed, such as a full-fledged paper reviewing module for conferences and a powerful HTTP API.
For a long time HEP has been ahead of the curve in its usage of remote collaboration tools, like videoconference and webcast, while the local CERN collaboration facilities were somewhat behind the expected quality standards for various reasons. This time is now over with the creation by the CERN IT department in 2012 of an integrated conference room service which provides guidance and installation services for new rooms (either equipped for video-conference or not), as well as maintenance and local support. Managing now nearly half of the 250 meeting rooms available on the CERN sites, this service has been built to cope with the management of all CERN rooms with limited human resources. This has been made possible by the intensive use of professional software to manage and monitor all the room equipment, maintenance and activity. This paper will focus on presenting these packages, either off-the-shelf commercial products (asset and maintenance management tool, remote audiovisual equipment monitoring systems, local automation devices, new generation touch screen interfaces for interacting with the room) when available or locally developed integration and operational layers (generic audiovisual control and monitoring framework) and how they help overcoming the challenges presented by such a service. The aim is to minimise local human interventions while preserving the highest service quality and placing the end user back to the center of this collaboration platform.
Enabling access to articles, reports and multimedia content produced by CERN, using the Invenio digital library and repository software.
CORAL and COOL are two software packages used by the LHC experiments for managing detector conditions and other types of data using relational database technologies. They have been developed and maintained within the LCG Persistency Framework, a common project of the CERN IT department with ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. This presentation reports on the status of CORAL and COOL at the time of CHEP2013, covering the new features and enhancements in both packages, as well as the changes and improvements in the software process infrastructure. It also reviews the usage of the software in the experiments and the outlook for ongoing and future activities during the LHC long shutdown (LS1) and beyond.
The recent paradigm shift toward cloud computing in IT, and general interest in "Big Data" in particular, have demonstrated that the computing requirements of HEP are no longer globally unique. Indeed, the CERN IT department and LHC experiments have already made significant R&D; investments in delivering and exploiting cloud computing resources. While a number of technical evaluations of interesting commercial offerings from global IT enterprises have been performed by various physics labs, further technical, security, sociological, and legal issues need to be address before their large-scale adoption by the research community can be envisaged. Helix Nebula - the Science Cloud is an initiative that explores these questions by joining the forces of three European research institutes (CERN, ESA and EMBL) with leading European commercial IT enterprises. The goals of Helix Nebula are to establish a cloud platform federating multiple commercial cloud providers, along with new business models, which can sustain the cloud marketplace for years to come. This contribution will summarize the participation of CERN in Helix Nebula. We will explain CERN's flagship use-case and the model used to integrate several cloud providers with an LHC experiment's workload management system. During the first proof of concept, this project contributed over 40.000 CPU-days of Monte Carlo production throughput to the ATLAS experiment with marginal manpower required. CERN's experience, together with that of ESA and EMBL, is providing a great insight into the cloud computing industry and highlighted several challenges that are being tackled in order to ease the export of the scientific workloads to the cloud environments.
