Healthcare APIs: Just What the Doctor Ordered
Although it has received limited media coverage, each day, organizations are leveraging APIs to reimagine healthcare. The healthcare industry's interest in APIs arose from successful web 2.0 mashups that propelled data exchanges in other verticals, and it has further grown in the wake of early-adopter healthcare companies that sought to integrate cloud services with on-premise systems. Today, healthcare providers are using APIs to extend the point of care beyond the walls of the hospital, while health insurance companies are moving from passive payers of claims to active managers of their policyholders' lifestyles.
As the healthcare industry embraces new technologies that have increased the efficiency of other verticals and made them more responsive, it has also sought ways to digitize data and make it easier to consume. However, the drivers for the API economy are somewhat different from what has traditionally been seen in the healthcare industry, and they represent the convergence of several market trends; namely, the consumerization of IT, the explosive use of mobile devices, and a new generation of incredibly tech-savvy professionals that want access to healthcare resources in the same way they access other offerings—anytime, anywhere and from any internet-enabled device.
The Special Value of APIs in Healthcare Settings
APIs are proving to be a disruptive force in healthcare settings. In software terms, an API is a collection of functions and protocols that a developer can call to access someone else's services and data. More broadly speaking, APIs are the currency of software development and the connective tissue that has propelled the Internet of Things (IoT) movement. They make it possible for developers and healthcare organizations to work together without having to coordinate every minor change and grapple with each other's code.
When the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) started sharing data with the public, with the hope of stimulating the creation of public health applications, they knew that plain tables of statistics would be of little help to developers. Whenever they could, HHS offered an API to access the data. This led many electronic health record (EHR) vendors to see where healthcare IT was headed, and they, in turn, have provided APIs to their data with the hope that developers outside their companies will create applications that will enhance their products.
Although seasoned developers are used to APIs with long names that feature a challenging list of requirements, modern APIs tend to use web-friendly approaches, which are best known as RESTful (REpresentational State Transfer) and SOA (Service Orientated Architecture) architectural approaches. In healthcare settings, these APIs allow you to pull-up a web browser and type in a location like this to get some lab results:
The URL works as follows: each slash precedes an element of the data (John Doe is a patient, glucose ist the type of test performed, etc.). The results can get even more specific as you move from left to right.
Modern APIs bring data within the reach of everyone; however, they still tend to be queried by applications, rather than directly by people. The goal of many healthcare APIs is to vastly increase the number of useful applications getting access to data and services on the sites that provide APIs. Such APIs not only provide a path to data, but also a methodology that is developer-friendly.
Another advantage of APIs is that they force websites to break data into bite size, digestable chunks that can be individually consumed. Since the healthcare industry has historically exchanged information in the form of discharge summaries and continuity of care documents, this revolutionary data sharing approach should be welcomed. Although some of these are currently distributed in XML formats that allow a program to extract a particular piece of data (such as a glucose lab result), they're much more complicated than modern RESTful and SOA APIs. Ultimately, this means that much more information could become available to researchers when data is exposed through a modern API.
Finally, modern APIs also offer the standardization of data. Each field must use consistent units and terminology, which can be challenging, given the information found in most healthcare records. However, this doesn't negate the importance of medical personnel narratives and subjective observations, which often provide the key to diagnosis. But, clinical decision support, public health, and research depend on quantifiable data, which APIs lead to.
Intel® Services' Leads the API Charge in Healthcare Settings
Intel® Services created the first purpose-built SOA integration appliance for the healthcare industry, which delivers best-in-class performance, open standards, and simplified security. It provides real-time, accelerated message processing, legacy connectors, and service enablement capabilities to power best-of-breed Health Information Exchange (HIE) solution architectures for systems integrators, governments, health plans, and large providers.
Intel® Mashery™'s API Products and Services Portfolio offers a message gateway, service mediation engine, and integrated security functionality in a single, tightly-integrated software appliance that carries the industry's best price-to-performance ratio.
Our API management solutions give both providers and payers the ability to rapidly expose healthcare data to partners and developer communities via an API portal. Through our solutions, healthcare organizations are able to foster new app development, drive application usage, and ultimately add new sources of mobile derived revenue. Our solutions are also a fundamental part of an emerging class of cloud service brokerage providers that empower healthcare IT to aggregate internal legacy data and external cloud provider information for simplified internal or partner consumption.
As APIs gain more traction in healthcare settings, expect to see them receive even more media coverage. The obvious ones, such as the Kaiser Interchange, Aetna's CarePass, and the National Library of Medicine, have already garnered the spotlight; however, API innovation in this field continues to gain momentum. For example, Health 2.0 has already created a site dedicated to healthcare APIs, which lists hundreds of them, and you can further search under "health" on the ProgrammableWeb site to find more.
Ultimately, APIs are business-led initiatives designed to grow top line results, create new market opportunities, and expand brand reach in new ways. Healthcare industry APIs are forecasted to grow significantly in the coming years, and when coupled with API management services, they will collectively become essential enterprise technology needs.
Like other emerging technologies and related services, careful consideration needs to go into creating and exposing healthcare APIs before just "API-enabling" something. Intel® Services' API products and services, which serve Athena, Kaiser Permanente, and Aetna—to name just a few companies—are reshaping the face of the healthcare industry.

I have a 1999 with about 127K on it. I'm the original owner. Seemed like all-of-a-sudden oil was leaking from high up in the engine. Honda shop said "rear main seal, $950" I said that I could not afford that and took it to my mechanic. He said he couldn't see the leak, but doubted the rear seal. Just in-case he bought one and when he dug into it saw it was the leak and put it in. He just called and said he thought the PCV valve was clogged and may have caused the rear main seal to leak.
Is this possible/feasible? No code was thrown. If this is the case people should be verry careful to replace the PCV at whatever interval is recommended.
I would appreciate any input or thoughts on this.

finally we come to our prize winners for this month, all of whom are regular entrants. Our first runner-up, winning himself a £25 Photobox voucher and a 1GB PNY SD card, is Lee Myers of Hull, UK. Not only has he correctly identified my favourite whiskey, he's also taken a stunning photo of it using a four-second exposure on his Fuji S9500, waving a torch behind the bottle to produce the streak of light. It's a simple technique used to great effect with skill and imagination.
Our second runner-up is Richard Koizumi of Tokyo, Japan, with this journalistic shot of a busy noodle bar. Getting a rock-steady 0.6-second exposure with his unstabilised Nikon D70 is impressive enough, but Richard has managed to capture the bustle and atmosphere of the busy shop perfectly. You can almost smell the noodles! Richard wins a 1GB PNY CompactFlash card and a £25 voucher from Photobox.
Our first prize winner this month is this fantastic shot from Jeffrey Levy, of Arlington, Virginia, USA. All I know about this shot is that it was taken on a Nikon D200, using an f/2.8 70-200mm lens, with an exposure of 1/90th of a second. As far as I can tell it's a single photograph, not something put together in Photoshop, so I can only assume the blue "liquid" is some kind of solid plastic. It's a fantastic composition, beautifully designed and lit, and a worthy winner. Jeffrey wins himself a 2GB PNY CompactFlash card and a £50 Photobox voucher.
Many thanks to everyone who entered, and congratulations to Lee, Richard and Jeffrey. Thanks also to More2, Fujifilm, PNY and Photobox for supplying the prizes. Don't forget our March competition is currently open. Please read the competition page to learn the theme for this month and how to enter.

Annapolis, MD — There will always be a special connection between the Sand Storm Lacrosse Festival and Team 180. That's because both the Synapse Sports event and Denver-based club program have enjoyed a similar trajectory.
"We've been going to Sand Storm since its inception, and as the tournament has grown, so has our organization," said Sam Bartron, who founded Team 180 in 2004. "The first year, we only had one team and there were about two dozen teams total. This year, we brought five teams and now there are well over 100 girls teams alone."
Team 180 enjoyed tremendous success at the sixth annual Sand Storm, placing four of the teams it brought in the finals and coming away with three championships. Team 180 captured the Girls' 2015, 2016 and 2018-20 titles, a tremendous feat.
"I'm so very, very proud of what our girls accomplished. It was so amazing to look around on championship day and see all those yellow jerseys. We had 130 kids out there in yellow like little bees buzzing around," Bartron said.
Bartron said the key to the overall improvement of the Team 180 organization has been commitment. Coaches front-loaded each team's training to prepare for Sand Storm, which was held Jan. 19-20 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Cal. It also helps that Bartron and staff are now working with players at a much younger age, instilling the skills and team playing style necessary to succeed at a high level.
"We want to be the best club in the west, and that takes hard work. We have asked our kids to go above and beyond. Our players and parents have embraced this philosophy and are willing to do whatever it takes," she said.
Bear Lax Blue, coached by Rick Jeffery, garnered the Girls' 2013 Division on the girls' side. That squad features players headed to such Division I schools as Hofstra, Stanford, Marquette, San Diego State, Fresno State, St. Mary's, UC Davis, Ohio State and Brown.
"Rick Jeffery is a major reason why this group has enjoyed so much success. That 2013 team is made up of girls that have now been playing together for at least six years, and Rick has guided them every step of the way," said Theresa Sherry, founder and director of Bear Lax. "Sand Storm is a tournament this team has gone to since it began, and has come close to winning a number of times. They lost in sudden death overtime last year, so it was great for them to be able to win it this year."
X Team Black, which only had 12 players, came away with the Girls' 2014 title. Liz Connelly (California) and Jess Thornton (Tennessee) coached the club, which featured several four-year members of the X Team program. Team 180 pushed X Team to the limit, but midfielder Riley Eggeman (California) and goalie Rachel Jordan (Oregon) both made big defensive plays down the stretch to preserve a one-goal victory. X Team, founded and operated by Crista Samaras, holds its annual end-of-year gala at the La Quinta Resort and Spa while attending Sand Storm. More than hundred players representing 20 states and the 2013-2017 age groups attended the gala and were inspired by guest speaker Ryan Boyle, a former Princeton All-American and veteran professional standout.
"It's neat to see the growth of lacrosse in the west through this event that has helped foster it," Samaras said. "The talent level at Sand Storm has really evolved, which makes winning even more special."
Denver Summit has supported Sand Storm for the past three years and brought nine teams to this year's event. Denver Summit 2017, coached by University of Denver assistant coach Lauren Benner, captured the Girls' championship of that age bracket.
"We absolutely love taking our teams out to Palm Springs to play. There is always great west coast talent that we compete against and it doesn't hurt that the location is ideal for getting away from our Colorado winters," Benner said. "The Samaras family does a great job organizing the tournament in such a way that it keeps an intimate feel alongside its competitive atmosphere. In all, it was an awesome weekend full of tough competition, fun and most importantly growth. We are already looking forward to Sandstorm next January."
Congratulations are in order for the 2013 Sand Storm Divisional Winners:
Girls Division Winners
2013: Bear Lax 13 Blue
2014: XTeam 14 Black
2015: Team 180 - 15
2016: Team 180 – 16 Yellow
2017: Denver Summit 17 Black
18-20: Team 180 - 18

"Everybody is happy in the locker room, and that's great" said Georgia head coach Andy Landers. "It's good when everybody gets to play. It's great when everybody gets to score."
The Lady Bulldogs stole the ball a season-high 19 times. Georgia is now 5-0 when scoring more than 80 points this season, improving to 364-5 when reaching that mark in Landers' 27 seasons at UGA.
Sherill Baker led the team with 19 points and four steals. Her four steals tonight put her 18 away from school record-holder Teresa Edwards. She also moved past Tawana McDonald into the No.17 position among the Lady Dogs' career scoring leaders. Baker now has 1,229 career points, just five shy of the current No.16 Stacey Ford.
Megan Darrah scored 18 points, shooting 4-of-4 from three-point range and contributing to the Lady Bulldogs season-high 57.1 percent shooting beyond the arch. Tasha Humphrey had her third double-double of the season, scoring 18 points and bringing down 10 rebounds. She has now recorded 17 double-doubles in her career. Cori Chambers added 15 points and freshman Danielle Taylor, a native of Savannah, scored a career-high 11. Janese Hardrick led the team with six assists. Savannah State was held to six percent shooting in the first half going 1-18.
"Coming into this game, our intent and focus was on defense." said Landers. "In the second half, we played a lot of man-to-man. We got started in the right direction of the way we need to go."
Tyrika McDaniel led the Lady Tigers with 12 points.
"It was a good experience for a young group of kids coming in trying to compete in this type of atmosphere and also competing against a great Georgia basketball team" said Savannah State head coach Cedric W. Baker.
Following a week off from competition during Final Exams, the Lady Bulldogs next game will be the beginning of a four-game road trip, starting with Temple on Monday, December 19. The next home game will be against Florida on January 8.

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, also known as antiphospholipid syndrome or APS, is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system reacts against certain normal substances present in blood and causes health problems. A woman with APS will have a greater than average tendency to form blood clots and experience miscarriages.

What Causes APS?

Antiphospholipid syndrome is caused by the abnormal formation of anti-phospholipid autoantibodies (aPL). These proteins in the blood attack a type of fat in all cells called phospholipids. The attacks cause cell damage that leads to blood clots in arteries and veins.

Why aPL form in some people and not others is not well understood. It's possible their production is triggered by environmental factors (like an infection) in people who are already genetically predisposed to them.

APS and Health Problems

People can have anti-phospholipid autoantibodies without having antiphospholipid syndrome. A person is only diagnosed with APS if the antibodies cause health problems.

Anti-phospholipid autoantibodies interfere with blood coagulation. This can cause clots to form, which can stop blood flow in arteries and veins - a dangerous condition known as thrombosis.

People with APS can have blood clots anywhere in the body, including the heart, brain, legs and lungs.These clots can cause problems such as:

stroke

heart attack

kidney damage

pulmonary embolism

The Link Between APS and Miscarriage

If you have experienced multiple miscarriages you may be tested for APS. This condition is associated with greater odds of pregnancy loss.

An estimated 10 to 25 percent of women with recurrent miscarriages have APS, and a person with APS will often have no other symptoms of the disorder until she experiences recurrent miscarriages.

Several problems in pregnancy can be caused by APS:

multiple miscarriages

a miscarriage late in pregnancy

 pre-eclampsia and premature birth due to eclampsia

Some controversy exists over whether APS causes early pregnancy losses. Most doctors agree that APS can cause late losses but the evidence is unclear on whether APS causes early losses.

According to the American College of Rheumatology, there are two ways that aPL may cause pregnancy problems:

By causing clots in the blood vessels of the placenta. These clots could cause fetal growth retardation.

By directly attack placental tissue. These attacks could block the proper growth and development of the placenta.

Who Gets It?

APS is usually a disease that affects young women. It's five times more common in women than men.

Most people who have APS are diagnosed when they're between 30 and 40 years old.

ALS is common in people with the autoimmune disorder systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Up to 40 percent of people with lupus have anti-phospholipid autoantibodies. Half of this group develops blood clots and/or has miscarriages.

Testing for Antiphospholipid Syndrome

If you've had recurrent miscarriages, your doctor will test for specific anti-phospholipid autoantibodies called anticardiolipin antibodies or lupus anticoagulant antibodies. This is part of the normal recurrent miscarriage workup. Testing positive for these antibodies may indicate that you have APS.

How APS Is Treated in Pregnancy

Doctors usually treat the condition by having the woman take low-dose aspirin and injections of a blood thinner called heparin during pregnancy. This course of action has been shown to be safe for mother and baby. It reduces the odds of forming blood clots while increasing the odds of a successful pregnancy.

Also Known As: Antiphospholipid Syndrome, APS

Quote:Definitely don't use any chemicals as this will just change the property and make it more difficult. Have you tried a blow drier? Possibly by re-heating it up you may be able to pull it away.When I was cabinet maker, when we refinished counter tops we would use irons to heat the counter top thus melting the glue underneath allowing us to pull it off. I'm not saying use an iron but the heat from a blow drier "may" release the bond between them allowing you to "slowly" pull it away without doing any major damage. And in the autobody industry they use the same principal to remove decals and stuff.Just a thought.

One way to drive traffic to your website and generate more sales is with article writing. Make sure you finish each piece of content with a compelling call to action. It may sound obvious to you but you really have to tell your visitors what action you want them to take next.
Be very careful when listening to people that claim to be experts in article marketing. Be aware that you need to do your own research and find out the best online writing services to help you enage your website visitors.
The best article writers have managed to develop their own unique writing style and tone. Good writers let their emotions and their character show in their tone and language.
Don't use automatic writing services for all of your articles. While these services can offer you a significant quantity of articles quickly, you can't guarantee that they will be the best quality. Many of them probably won't be written in proper English. You will be better off using a local content writer to ensure a better return on your investment.
Your article content must be a match for your keywords. There should be a connection between everything in your article, summary, and links within your website. Search engines need to see connections in writing so they can know what your article is about so they can categorize it better.
Don't copy what other people are writing about. Staying innovative and unique gives you a leg up when it comes to marketing your business online. There is a constant refinement of the filters that detect duplicate content.
You have to use SEO and general marketing techniques other wise no one will find your website. Invest some of your time to learn more about SEO so you can boost your article rankings higher. Just putting articles on your website is not enough. You need a direct approach and a goal in mind.
Be certain your article has a title that captures interest right away. The fastest way to get someone to read your article is by giving it a heading that makes them curious. Think about using a statement or statements.
Study the market your article will be competing in to make sure you plan on publishing and see what has already been published. This knowledge can help the best marketing strategy for your target demographic.
Use strategy when you decide the topics of your articles. When you know so much about your niche, sometimes it becomes hard to put yourself in the shoes of a novice.
One excellent method of promoting your past articles is to put then in a eBook. Use the e-book as a bonus offer if people sign up for your newsletter.
Be familiar with any sites that allow you to submit your articles to such as article directories. Understand all guidelines and look for submitting written content. Most sites provide the information you need at your fingertips if you just search for it.
Make sure all articles are properly formatted. Always read the formatting rules for each directory before you send in your article. Write one article daily, and send it in to a directory.
Even if you are only writing to increase backlinks, you should still ensure that the content is of high quality. Having top-notch content will help you get backlinks and new traffic from article referrals.
Quality should always be more important than quantity. If you are at a loss for topics, think about what your readers are looking for.

QB Jimmy Clausen has declined an invitation to attend the NFL draft in New York on Thursday.
Clausen's agent, Gary Wichard, said the Notre Dame product is planning to stay with his family and be near his grandfather during Thursday's first round.
Clausen's grandmother died recently, Wichard said, and his grandfather is unable to make the trip to New York. Clausen wants to be with his grandfather during the draft.
The former Fighting Irish QB is expected to be selected in the first round. At least 16 other prospects, including potential No. 1 pick Sam Bradford, have committed to attending the draft in New York. -- Sean Leahy

So this is my attempt to de-lurk any lurkers. Assuming I have any.
How many cookbooks do you have?
I have 71. Plus 6 in languages other than English (3 French, 1 Italian, 1 Hungarian, 1 Thai). Plus 3 books that are about food, not recipe books (Cod by Mark Kurlansky, The Physiology of Taste by Brillat-Savarin, and Cooking for Kings, The Life of Antoine Careme, the First Celebrity Chef, by Ian Kelly). Oh, and there are about 5 more in my garage waiting for someone to buy them on half.com.
Some of the 71 are "limited edition" plastic-spiral-bound church cookbooks, self-published from the deli around the corner, etc.
How many have I actually cooked something from? I'd guess about 20. My favorite that I haven't yet cooked from (er...from which I haven't yet cooked, grammar y'know) - Silver Spoon. How many are on my want-list? Lots.
So, tell. Please. How many cookbooks do you have?

Texas Official Urged by Judges to Negotiate Redistricting Deal
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's office was urged by a panel of judges to keep trying to broker a compromise with Latino activists that would let the court create interim election maps and allow Texas to conduct primary elections without further delays.
The only chance Texas has to salvage its current April 3 primary date, U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia said at a hearing yesterday in San Antonio is for "all the parties to get together in a room and resolve this. Short of that, it is not likely we are going to have an April primary."
Texas Deputy Attorney General David Mattax told Garcia, "I'm going to work as hard as I can to settle whatever I can."
Garcia asked the parties to submit their proposed compromises to the court by Feb. 6 for its use in creating interim maps. The deals won't be binding on the court or constitute formal settlements of claims that the Republican- controlled legislature's redistricting plan discriminates against Latino voters.
Mattax said he's opened negotiations with all the principal voting-rights groups opposed to the state's maps to discuss temporary solutions for the "handful" of U.S. congressional and state legislative districts he said are truly disputed as potentially discriminatory.
'Doesn't Concede'
"I'm trying to do something where the state doesn't concede but doesn't object" to temporary boundary changes opponents want for election maps the Republican-controlled legislature created last year, Mattax said. "We need to get a map out so we can have some primaries."
The San Antonio judges had ordered all parties involved in the state's redistricting dispute to court yesterday to discuss splitting the primaries onto different dates and whether the state could repay counties for the cost of holding multiple primaries. The session was the latest round of a six-month redistricting fight that has already reached the U.S. Supreme Court (1000L).
Hispanic voting rights groups and lawmakers whose jobs were threatened by the state's new voter maps sued Texas Governor Rick Perry, a Republican, in federal court in San Antonio after he approved the legislature's work last July. Critics claim the new boundaries were designed to prevent the election of Latinos. State lawmakers contend they didn't discriminate and were legally allowed to draw districts that favored the election of Republicans.
Splitting Primaries
The San Antonio court is considering splitting Texas's primaries, holding the presidential primary April 3 and all other state and local primaries later, Garcia said. When Mattax told Garcia the legislature probably wouldn't use emergency funds to reimburse cash-strapped counties for the cost of multiple elections, Garcia replied that could be a deciding factor for the court.
Several county election officials testified they couldn't afford to pay for multiple primary elections and needed seven weeks to 150 days to prepare for elections. The most time- consuming element is complying with federal laws requiring that printed ballots be mailed to overseas military personnel, Jacque Callanen, a Bexar County election official testified. She said Texas has more military ballots to process than some states do regular ballots.
Texas was required to create new voter boundaries after gaining four congressional seats to accommodate almost 4.3 million new residents since 2000, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. About 65 percent of the state's population growth came from Hispanics, who have historically voted more often for Democrats than Republicans.
Justice Department
After the activists sued Perry in San Antonio, Texas sued the U.S. Justice Department in Washington seeking so-called pre- clearance of its maps. Pre-clearance is required of all states with a history of voting rights violations. Texas can't implement its new election boundaries without this approval from either a Washington federal court or the Justice Department.
To avoid election delays while it considers pre-clearance, the Washington court asked the three-judge San Antonio panel last year to draw temporary voter maps for the election cycle. The Texas panel released interim boundaries in November after taking testimony in a two-week trial. The court also postponed the state's primary elections from March 6 to April 3 to allow candidates time to assess the boundary lines.
Texas appealed the San Antonio judges' maps to the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court rejected the court-created maps as not deferential enough to the legislature's maps. The justices ordered the San Antonio judges to try again, using the lawmakers' maps as a starting point.
Washington Court
The Washington court hasn't ruled on pre-clearance. That court is scheduled to conclude a two-week trial next week, and the San Antonio judges asked the Washington judges to expedite their ruling to guide the Texas panel's redistricting efforts.
After yesterday's hearing, Luis Roberto Vera Jr., national general counsel for the League of Latin American Citizens, said he wasn't optimistic about the state's ability to broker a compromise, especially on the Congressional district map.
"Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott started making the calls himself last night," Vera said in an interview outside the courthouse. "But they're trying to get the plaintiffs to fight amongst each other. I believe Texas will have a unified primary on May 29."
The Texas case is Perez v. Perry, 5:11-cv-00360, U.S. District Court, Western District of Texas (San Antonio). The Washington case is Texas v. U.S., 1:11-cv-1303, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington). The appellate case is Perry v. Perez, 11A536 (Congressional map); U.S. Supreme Court.

A lot of things come into play but I reckon you are using so called GURU tools Seomoz or MajesticSEO and such. Smart kids that get good links they get the sites to block those 2 crawlers from tracking.
If only Google could fix their damn algorithm to ensure that the homepage actually stays in the index at the weekends as well as on weekdays!
Now you could scan the backlinks of a great site and just find junk, but the real links are far better and they are just hiding it.

I enjoy shooting landscapes but would like to branch out into the fashion/glamour modeling industry. I love shooting outdoors and with natural light and would like to work with local models, but if you're visiting, have some free time on your hands, and would like a different "artistic" perspective, drop me a note and lets discus.
For now, I would consider Time for Digital Files (I get to shoot, and you get the images). Any other financial compensation can be discussed on a case by case basis.

How to Create Your Own Successful Hunting Property: Pressure & Habitat
Posted on May 31, 2013
This exclusive special will bring you several informative installments on the many things one must consider before creating your hunting property. If you keep these things in mind, you will be on your way to success!
The dream of owning an expansive parcel of hunting property where one can grow "their own" monster bucks is for most hunters often just that—a dream. High real estate prices combined with financial constraints usually results in a reality check. Buying or even leasing smaller acreages of hunting property, though, is well within the financial reach of most hunters, and that trend has resulted in an explosion in small-acreage hunting properties. Small-property managers are thirsty for knowledge on how to enhance the land for optimal hunting opportunities, while at the same time, becoming true stewards of the environment.
In 1989 I finally realized my dream of owning hunting property. As Michigan real estate goes, it wasn't considered an exceptionally valuable parcel since the 39 acres is predominated by wetlands, some of which are mucky enough to swallow a man whole. The property showed great hunting promise; however, there were many tasks to be completed before the property's full potential could be reached.
Controlling Pressure
Limiting the hunting pressure on my property was perhaps the most important first step. Before I bought my land it had been open to anybody that wanted to wonder over it. At first I talked to all my neighbors and explained my goals for the property and how I wanted to hunt it myself and didn't want anybody else to infringe on my plans. I also posted the property with "No Trespassing" signs to give everyone else the message.
Even after those measures, I still caught about a dozen people trespassing in the first couple years, most of which were neighbors or guests of neighboring property owners. At first I politely just asked them to leave and explained my reasons. However, after a couple of repeat offenders kept showing up on my land, I decided that being polite was ineffective, so I started pressing charges against some of the blatant trespassers. I caught one neighbor trespassing on my land right behind my house, and he had just poached a 12-point buck. The conservation officer caught him red handed with the buck hanging in his barn. I also pressed trespassing charges against a guest of a neighbor for trespassing. It was the second time I'd caught him on my land, so there really was no excuse for his transgressions.
After those two incidents, my trespassing problems were largely solved. Word got out that I was through messing around with lawbreakers. I truly believe that having the law deal with violators is the most effective way to solve most trespassing problems.
Most bowhunters over-hunt their properties to the extent that deer alter their movements to a more nocturnal pattern. If pressured enough, they will also relocate more on neighboring properties. To prevent that, I spread my hunting out over as many properties as possible. I have over a dozen spots I hunt on my own property. My land hunts the best during southerly winds, so when winds are not ideal, I hunt other locations. Hunting my property lightly keeps stands fresh, and done right, the deer will never know they are being pursued, making them easier to hunt.
I have stand setups on the front of my property that I frequently hunt during the early part of the season. I save the prime, primary scrape areas found on the back of my property until November rolls around. I want the deer to feel ultra-safe in those areas until the rut is peaking and won't go near them until the time is right. That way, when I do hunt them, my chances for success are maximized.
Habitat Improvement With Food and/or Cover
Ideally, every acre of one's hunting land should either feed and/or provide cover for deer. Land managers need to prioritize their habitat improvement projects based on what the land needs most. If there is plenty of cover on the land then priority needs to be given to creating or improving food sources. If the property lacks good deer cover, then that shortcoming really needs to be addressed with gusto.
My property had some good cover, but a large portion was a deer wasteland that provided neither cover nor food for deer. The back of my property consists of an ultra thick mixture of woods and brush that makes perfect deer bedding territory. The front half had some hardwoods with minimal ground cover along with lots of open land that was once used as pasture for cattle.
I started out with an aggressive woodcutting project that took out most of the timber on the front half of my property. Those cut over areas quickly sprouted up with thick regeneration that made for perfect deer habitat. In the open areas I planted thousands of pines and spruce trees along with 2,000 hardwood seedlings that were comprised of maple and people. I also planted some bare-root apple trees, which took off like crazy. I followed that up by planting thousands of tag alders and by seeding cattails and other tall wetland plants to transform my once open marsh into an ideal whitetail thicket. Now, the only open areas on my property are food plots. I even turned my yard into a food plot.
Stay tuned for the next installment on the proper food, water, and minerals needed for a successful hunting property!

Over the next few pages we show a range of test shots. On this page the full size image at the minimum and maximum ISO settings have been reduced to let you see the full image, and a series of full resolution crops have taken from original images at a range of ISO settings to show the overall image quality. These ISO test images are shot indoors using reflected natural light for maximum consistency.
This is the full frame at minimum ISO. This shot was taken indoors using reflected daylight from a window. As you can see the automatic white balance has made a bit of a bish.
At 80 ISO there is plenty of fine detail and colours are nice and clear, but there is a haze of granular noise across the whole image.
Results at 100 ISO are about the same.
Slightly more noise visible at 200 ISO.
At 400 ISO the image quality is a lot worse, with bad distortion in both the red and green areas, and a lot of noise plainly visible.
Quality is worse still at 800 ISO.
Terrible image quality at 1600 ISO.
The same inaccurate white balance is visible in this full frame at 1600 ISO.
I'm a great fan of this series (succession) of cameras. Not being convinced that an ever-increasing pixel count brings any real advantage for normal shooting, I've stuck with an R4, with 7 megapixels. As a small, pocketable device, it's incredibly versatile. I've even used it for copying old photographs by daylight, and it does a very good job. My first Ricoh was its only 110 model, and this had a stunningly good f 2.8 lens, capable of sharp (if of course grainy) b/w enlargements up to full-plate. One or two were successfully used in a book I wrote.
I bought the R10 last October to replace a Ricoh RR30 which had given good service over six years. I agree with the review, it does have issues with noise and occasional odd white balance errors (in a series of images every now and again I'll get one with a bad blue colour cast). To be honest if I'd waited for the reviews I wouldn't have bought the camera. It's not all bad, in good light it performs well and even night shots are acceptable as can be seen on my Flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photo...
Cliff, you wrote "Why Ricoh didn't switch to the excellent 1/1.75-inch sensor from the GR Digital II is a mystery." Is it? With a larger sensor, which is indeed physically better suited for low noise and/or high ISO, they couldn't have squeezed a 7.1x zoom into a body that small. However, Panasonic has proven with the TZ5 and the FZ28, that it is possible to obtain a reasonable balance of noise and detail even out of a 1/2.3 inch / 10 MP sensor, if you combine a high-quality sensor with clever processing. (Would be interesting, what Panasonic processing made out of the Ricoh sensor and vice-versa...)
Greetings! theimer
No viewfinder, , , again.
Must be a goverment edict for compacts, I can't believe the manufacturers just operate a 'Simply not an option' sort of consumer service.
I had the R6. I loved the zoom range and the ultra compact body. The menus were well designed and it had a lot of features for such a small camera. I don't think it's fair to compare it to the excellent TZ5 as that is just a bit too bulky to put in your pocket and forget about. It's not an ultra compact. I did sell my R6 due to the grain - especially noticeable on overcast days. Fine for holiday snaps (in the sun!). Got a Fujifilm f100fd now which has a decent zoom and much better sensor.
I think this camera has something special by not being perfect, a collecters item for artistic users, I made a download of pics of its competitors in another review site and the ricoh came out best for me.

Need help installing interior LEDs
Hey guys..just picked up some LED and struggling to install my rear tail lights. Seems the harness on the right is totally different from the left. My LED fits fine in the one on the right but not on the left. Its strange. I attached a few pics.
First shows the the light being replaced on the left with the LED on the right.
Second is the bracket:
Third is the LED not fitting:
This pic shows the two old halogen lights. Not sure if anyone can decipher what the size difference is and what I need to be ordering based on it but the one on the left is smaller than the right, hence why my LEDs aren't fitting in the hole.
Any suggestions or ideas why this happened I would really appreciate it. I have a 2006 WK Laredo

So 10% of wholesale cost is what people were so up in arms about with Apple's expensive accessories? 10% of wholesale isn't really a lot. Even at 10% of retail, that would only push a $30 accessory up $3! And just for the sake of argument, if they slashed the cost by 5%, that's only a $1.50 savings.
I guess it's all the other requirements that may make things more pricey, and if that's the case, then this reduction just the licensing portion probably won't have any impact on retail pricing or product availability at all.
10% was significant enough that Apple refused to support Next Track and Previous Track over Bluetooth AVRCP even when iOS4 launched just so that accessory makers would have to continue paying Apple to interface through the dock and headphone connectors. Bluetooth is an open standard and would allow docks to control iPods without Apple making a penny, so they delayed as long as possible. After the iPhone became their primary business and started to look bad as the only phone without such features they didn't care so much about docks and iPod accessories. Mid-way through iOS4 they added it but I had been using Music Controls Pro on my jailbroken phones for ages before that (added full AVRCP instead of just Play/Pause).

5 Big Stocks to Trade for Big Gains: Must-See Charts - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- All eyes are on Janet Yellen this morning, as she sits for the biggest job interview of her life: her confirmation hearing for the Fed chairmanship.
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
But she's not exactly shocking anyone with her testimony. Yellen is in favor of QE? She supports Bernanke's policies? The faucet stays on for another four years? Quelle surprise.
Still, stocks are getting boosted as investors salivate over the prospect of more cash flowing into the system. As a trader, who am I to judge? Instead, I'm taking a technical look at five big names that look tradable this week.
If you're new to technical analysis, here's the executive summary.
>>Why You Should Buy Hedge Funds' 5 Favorite Stocks
Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions. Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
Every week, I take an in-depth look at big names that are telling important technical stories. Here's this week's look at five high-volume stocks to trade this week.
First up is Chinese oil and gas giant PetroChina (PTR). Saying PetroChina has seen a rough 2013 is an understatement. Year-to-date, shares of the $203 billion firm have slipped more than 22% at the same time that the S&P 500 has been in rally mode. But shareholders could be in store for a reprieve this winter thanks to a bullish setup that's been forming in shares of late.
>>5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying
PetroChina is currently forming an ascending triangle bottom, a trading setup that's formed by a horizontal resistance level to the upside at $118 and uptrending support below shares. Basically, as PTR bounces between those two levels, it's getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above the $118 price ceiling. When that breakout happens, it's time to be a buyer.
Momentum, measured by 14-day RSI, has been in an uptrend since the start of the pattern in PTR. Since the momentum gauge is a leading indicator of price, that's a good thing for traders. Still, it's critical to wait for the $118 level to get taken out before becoming a buyer; this isn't a high-probability trade until that condition gets met.
Pandora Media
We're seeing the exact same setup in shares of Pandora Media (P) right now. The only difference? Pandora's breakout has already triggered. Here's how to trade it.
Pandora had been forming a textbook ascending triangle pattern with a solid resistance level at $28. The push above that price level got confirmed with yesterday's session. From here, it makes sense to take a position in P.
>>5 Tech Stocks to Trade in November
Whenever you're looking at any technical price pattern, it's critical to think in terms of those buyers and sellers. Triangles and other pattern names are a good quick way to explain what's going on in a stock, but they're not the reason it's tradable. Instead, it all comes down to supply and demand for shares.
That $28 resistance level is a price where there has been an excess of supply of shares; in other words, it's a place where sellers had been more eager to step in and take gains than buyers were to buy. That's what makes this week's breakout above it so significant. The move means that buyers are finally strong enough to absorb all of the excess supply above that price level.
If you decide to take the Pandora trade, I'd recommend keeping a protective stop at the 50-day moving average.
Annaly Capital Management
There's no two ways about it: Annaly Capital Management (NLY) has gotten rocked this year. As I write, the $10 billion mortgage REIT is underperforming the S&P by 48% since the beginning of January. That's a pretty painful shortfall for investors -- but NLY could be near a turnaround right now.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy This Week
That's because NLY is currently forming a double bottom pattern, a bullish reversal setup that's formed by two lows that bottom out around the same price level. They're separated by a breakout level to the upside at $12.25 -- a move through that price is our buy signal on this stock. As I write, NLY is still very close to the number-two bottom that it made just a few sessions ago, so while it's bullish that shares hit the brakes at their old support level, it's early to start getting too aggressive with this trade.
A move through $12.25 would be a pretty major trend reversal in NLY, but it's still a little while away. Still, the sheer underperformance at NLY means that it could try to play catch-up quickly. Put this trade in your watch list.
Discover Financial Services
The situation in shares of Discover Financial Services (DFS) is a little more pressing -- and you don't need to be an expert technical analyst to see why. This $25 billion payment network stock has been locked in a textbook uptrending channel since April, and with shares at support this week, it makes sense to buy the bounce.
>>4 Stocks Rising on Big Volume
The channel in DFS is important because it provides us with a high-probability range for shares to stay within both on the upside and the downside. More important, trendline support has halted shares' pullbacks perfectly on the last four touches of the level now we're hitting touch No. 5. With a bounce in play in this morning's session, now's a perfect time to take on a position.
Buying off a support bounce makes sense for two big reasons: It's the spot where shares have the furthest to move up before they hit resistance, and it's the spot where the risk is the least (because shares have the least room to move lower before you know you're wrong). Remember, all trend lines do eventually break, but by actually waiting for the bounce to happen first, we're ensuring the DFS can actually still catch a bid along that line. Keep a tight stop in place under the channel if you decide to buy here.
Hedge funds have been buying Facebook (FB) with both hands in the last quarter. But from a technical standpoint, it's starting to look like their timing could be off. Facebook has seen a stellar fun since the breakout back in July, but this stock is starting to look "toppy" now.
FB is currently forming a head and shoulders top, a bearish pattern that indicates exhaustion among buyers. The setup is formed by two swing highs that top out around the same level (the shoulders), separated by a higher high in between them (the head). The neckline, at $46 on the chart above, is the trigger level to watch. A slip below that neckline means that it's time to sell (or short) the social network.
RSI signaled a red flag for Facebook all the way back in September, when the uptrend in the momentum gauge stalled out and flipped to a downtrend. That was the signal that buying pressure was waning in shares -- a move through $46 is the signal that sellers are now in control.

Old Boat Nightmares: 2011
One of the unwritten laws of project-boat hunting is pick your battles wisely. Most project boats come with their fair share of flawsotherwise they wouldnt be project boats, would they? The trick is to know which flaws can be dealt with relatively easily, and which will involve countless hours of hard work and heartbreak. In other words, what kind of flaw is a deal-breaker.
Consider a boat whose cosmetic problems were all easily dealt with, except for one: the white paint on the mast was in awful condition. No big deal, you might think; how hard could it be to sand and paint a mast?
A little research revealed the awful truth. The mast was 60 feet long, and the paint on it was a super-hard enamel that shrugged off chemical strippers and laughed at sandpaper. It did not take the prospective buyer long to calculate that merely preparing the mast for painting would take a full weeks work.
All fittings would have to be removed, and most of them would not want to come off, their stainless fasteners having welded themselves to the surrounding aluminum; after laboriously sanding off the old paint coating, which was about 80 percent intact, the spar would need to be painted with zinc chromate to make the new paint adhere, followed by undercoat, sanding, another undercoat, more sanding, the first topcoat, more sanding, and, finally, the second topcoat. Then the fittings would have to be replaced.
At yard rates, the job would have come to several thousand dollars; even a DIY job would amount to several hundred dollars in materials, plus up to 10 days of tedious work.
Unless you are getting the boat so cheaply that you dont mind the work and expense of stripping and refinishing a mast, or unless you dont care what your mast looks like, this is a time to remember another unwritten law of project-boat hunting; there is always another bargain just around the corner.

KDE -> Internet -> Wireless assistent
What computer model do you have?
Do you use Wireless only, or Cable? Or do you use both? Cause i would like to know
before i can give you help 100%.. I know i can see you got an eth0 adapter but is
that also wireless or do you not use it?
I can see though that you're trying to connect using your wifi adapter, and you need
to connect to an access point before you can get an ip and so on.
If you can't find any networks using gui tools only, then try:
(make sure you have your Wifi adapter up first!)
This will scan for networks, and trust me if your wifi-adapter works then airodumpCode:~ bt # airmon-ng start eth1 ~ bt # airodump-ng eth1
will find networks and also the people which are connected to a network or not.

"Wireless Assistant" is better than "KWifiManager" for most cards.
Or, do it manually - iwconfig - dhcpcd (usually best way to go, imho)
Maxe Legend: eth0 is his lan.
thanks for fats answers
mmm is the same, wireless assistant dont find anithink

What steps are you taking to make a manual connection??
That page has manual connection, wep connection, wpa connection, etc.....
Please post *your own* exact steps of the process you are taking, beginning to end. And also on the config of your wlan.
broadcom, yuck!
It is possible to get around it by throwing your bios code into a hex editor and adding some id strings, from your chosen card, into the whitelist.
But it's not the best idea in the world, in my own personal experience!

Kentucky Falls in NCAA Opener to Ball State
LEXINGTON ? Ben Snyder was nearly flawless for eight innings in shutting down Kentucky?s powerful offense on Friday night to carry fourth-seeded Ball State to a 3-1 opening round upset over the top-seeded Wildcats on Friday night at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
A school-record 3,529 fans came out to see the first regional ever hosted by the Big Blue and got pitchers duel down to the final out. Snyder and UK starter Craig Snipp each performed magnificently with the difference being Justin Rogers two-run single in the eighth that snapped a 1-1 tie.
Snyder worked eight innings, allowing only one run on four hits while fanning nine. He constantly worked ahead of the Wildcat batters and threw just 107 pitches. His only blemish came when Shaun Lehmann doubled to open the fifth and came home on Collin Cowgill?s sacrifice fly.
With the win, Snyder improved to 8-5 on the year. Kyle Heyne pitched a scoreless ninth for his 12th save of the year.
Kentucky returns to action on Saturday at 2 p.m. against No. 3-seed Notre Dame in an elimination game. Ball State faces College of Charleston, which won a 16-inning epic earlier on Friday, in the winner?s bracket game at 7 p.m. Tickets are still available for both games.
Snipp matched Snyder zero for zero most of the way, giving up only a single run in the first seven innings. Three straight one-out singles loaded the bases before Snipp got a big strikeout of Matt Gard for the second out.
However, leadoff man Eric Earnhart bounced a single through the right side ? the third groundball hit of the frame ? for a 1-0 lead. From right field, Collin Cowgill gunned down Kyle Dygert going for a second run to end the inning.
In the decisive eighth, Matt Singleton grounded a single through the hole at third to leadoff. An out later, Brad Miller fought one off the handle which landed inches the left field line for a double. That ended Snipp?s night and brought on UK closer Andrew Albers.
Rogers got both men home as he reached out and slapped one the opposite way, just inside the bag for the game-winning single.
Kentucky produced a base runner in both the eighth and ninth, but could not mount a rally. In fact, UK?s biggest scoring threats came in the first and third, the only two times they put two men on base.
In the first, Cowgill reached on a one-out walk and Strieby moved him to third with a single. However, Sean Coughlin and John Shelby each struck out to end rally. Two innings later, an error, walk and double steal put runners on second and third for Coughlin. Again, Snyder got him to go down swinging and end the inning.

EPA's Report on the Environment
Mercury Emissions
Mercury is an element that occurs naturally in the environment. However, many industrial processes, such as coal combustion, medical and hazardous waste incineration, municipal waste combustion, gold mining, and certain chemical manufacturing operations, have increased the amount of mercury released to the air. What happens to mercury after it is emitted depends on several factors: the form of mercury emitted, the location of the emissions sources, how high above the landscape the mercury is released (e.g., the height of the stack), the surrounding terrain, and the weather. Depending on these factors, atmospheric mercury can be transported over a range of distances before it is deposited, potentially resulting in deposition on a local, regional, continental, or global scale. While some domestic anthropogenic mercury emissions are deposited within the contiguous U.S., the majority of such emissions combine with anthropogenic emissions from other countries and natural emissions worldwide to form a pool of mercury that circulates globally (Seigneur et al., 2004; U.S. EPA, 1996).
Because it does not degrade in the environment, most mercury emitted to the atmosphere eventually deposits onto land or water bodies. Through a series of chemical transformations and environmental transport processes, airborne mercury that deposits to the Earth's surface can eventually accumulate in the food web (the Lake Fish Tissue indicator), most profoundly in those species near the top of the food web (e.g., shark, swordfish). The Blood Mercury indicator describes the human health effects associated with mercury exposure.
This indicator presents mercury emissions from the following categories: (1) "Gold mining"; (2) "Hazardous waste incineration"; (3) "Electric arc furnaces"; (4) "Chlorine production"; (5) "Medical waste incineration"; (6) "Municipal waste combustion"; (7) "Other industrial processes," which includes chemical production and other miscellaneous industrial processes; (8) "Industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers"; (9) "Utility coal boilers"; and (10) "Mobile sources" (but only for inventory years starting in 2002). To better characterize mercury emissions, this indicator presents different source categories than other emissions indicators in the Report on the Environment, including separate categories for utility coal boilers and various industrial processes that release mercury.
Mercury emissions data are tracked by the National Emissions Inventory (NEI). The NEI is a composite of data from many different sources, with mercury data coming primarily from numerous state, tribal, and local air quality management agencies; the Toxics Release Inventory (data provided by industry to EPA); and other data supplied by industry. Different data sources use different data collection methods, and many of the emissions data are based on estimates rather than actual measurements. For most fuel combustion sources and industrial processes, emissions are estimated using emission factors. For utility coal boilers, the 2008 and 2011 NEI data are based primarily on test data from 2010, collected as part of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS) development.
NEI data have been compiled since 1990 and cover all 50 states and their counties, D.C., the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands, and some of the territories of federally recognized American Indian nations. Data are presented for the baseline period (1990-1993) and the latest years for which data are available (2002, 2005, 2008, and 2011). The baseline period represents a mix of years depending on data availability for various source types. While NEI data for air toxics (including mercury) were also compiled for 1996 and 1999, the methodology used in those years for air toxics differs considerably from the methodology used in 1990-1993, 2002, 2005, 2008, and 2011 and therefore cannot be compared directly to those data.
What the Data Show
Between 1990-1993 and 2011, annual nationwide air emissions of mercury decreased from 246 tons per year to 52 tons per year, a decrease of 79 percent (Exhibit 1). The source categories accounting for the majority of the reduced mercury emissions over this time frame are medical waste incinerators, municipal waste combustors, and utility coal boilers. In 2011, coal-burning power plants were the largest anthropogenic source of mercury emissions to the air in the U.S., accounting for 49 percent of all domestic anthropogenic mercury emissions that year.
- The emissions data in this indicator are primarily based on estimates, not direct measurements. Approximately 25 tons of 2011 emissions estimates are based on continuous emissions monitoring data for utility coal boilers. Although the mercury emissions estimates have inherent uncertainties, the data have been generated using well-established estimation methods.
- The trend shown is based on nationwide aggregate data. Regional and state trends may be different.
- Not all states and local air quality management agencies provide the same data or level of detail for a given year.
- In most cases, consistent emissions estimation methodologies were used across all inventory years. One notable difference is that the 2008 and 2011 NEI data for utility coal boilers are based primarily on data collected as part of MATS rule development. More information on mercury emissions estimation approaches is available in NEI references (U.S. EPA, 2015).
- Version 1 of the 2011 NEI was completed prior to the release of the most recent MOVES model (MOVES2014).
Data Sources
Summary data in this indicator were provided by EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, based on mercury emissions data in the NEI. The most recent data are taken from Version 1 of the 2011 NEI (U.S. EPA, 2014). These and earlier emissions data can be accessed from EPA's emission inventory website (http://www3.epa.gov/ttn/chief/eiinformation.html). This indicator aggregates NEI data by source category.

LancasterHistory.org, including President James Buchanan's Wheatland, will be open on Tuesday, July 4, 2017. Tours of Wheatland are available, on the hour, from 10am to 3pm. Advanced reservations highly recommended due to expected increased visitor traffic. The exhibition galleries and Museum Store will be open. The Research Library, Archives, and Administrative Offices will be closed. If you have any questions, please call (717) 392-4633. Thank you!
The Louise Arnold Tanger Arboretum on the grounds of LancasterHistory.org was designed by Gustaf Malmborg of Manheim, PA. Malmborg also designed the beautiful grounds of the Masonic Homes in Elizabethtown, PA.
Sporting 104 mature varieties of trees, the Tanger Arboretum is open to the public as a place of rest and relaxation. Its constantly changing form and texture makes an inviting spot to spend time enjoying the everlasting beauty of nature.
When the Willson Memorial Building was constructed in 1956, its neighbor and naturalist Louise Arnold Tanger approached the Board of Trustees with a request to be allowed to plant trees on the barren grounds surrounding the building. They agreed and invited Mrs. Tanger to join the board where she took charge of the grounds until her death in 1959. At this time, her son Charles took her place and served the historical society as its naturalist for many years until his death in 1991. Following Charles Tanger's death the trustees of the historical society established the group known as "The Friends of the Tanger Arboretum" for the purpose of creating public interest and support for the maintenance and development of this community asset. A master landscaping plan was designed, tree labels were added and a map developed for self-guided tours.
The Friends of the Tanger Arboretum is a membership organization with its own Board of Directors. Each year the organization holds an annual dinner meeting in the spring, an Arbor Day celebration the last Saturday of April and a Fall Clean-Up Day.
If you are interested in membership, download, print and mail an arboretum membership form.
