But this zoom gear is for the Olympus 12-50mm and not for the 60mm, correct?
Darkleech, please see this design http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:662278 for the 60mm lens
Thank you. Yes, I also found the other one for the 60mm. I just noticed that here the title says that it is for the 60mm, although the parts and pictures look like made for the 12-50mm ;)
some instructions on assembly would be helpful. It's not clear where the small ring goes (middle part/picture)
better late than never.... See http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:36320 for image showing how to set it up on similar lens.
Since posting this I moved to a much simpler, one piece design.

2013 Program Archive
December 31 - The Founding Fathers and Gun Control; The Fear of Terrorists While Accepting Gun Massacres; The Son of a Victim of a Gun Massacre
Today we focus on gun violence in America following the massacre of school children in Connecticut that outraged the nation yet no reforms followed and gun massacres continue unabated. We begin with a broadcast of "Background Briefing" from January 9, 2013 and look into what the President, who deputized Joe Biden to take on the task of reducing gun violence in this country, can achieve in the face of determined, organized and well-funded opposition. Saul Cornell, the author of "A Well Regulated Militia: The Founding Fathers and the Origins of Gun Control in America" and "The Second Amendment Goes to Court", joins us to discuss what could be achieved through executive order short of the American people standing up to the NRA.
Then from April 25, 2013 we speak with Michael Cohen who is a columnist for the UK Guardian and the Observer where he has an article "Why Does America lose its head over 'terror' but ignore its daily gun deaths?" We examine the paradox of our inordinate fear of random violence from terrorists compared to our acceptance of the daily death toll from gunsand the preventable workplace deaths of 14 Americans every day. As well as try to understand why 3,531 Americans, more than were killed on 9/11, have died from gunssince Newtown, yet a majority of Americans are not as motivated to do something about it while the 1% who belong to the NRA are highly motivated to ensure that America's criminals and terrorists are the best-armed in the world.
Then finally from December 8, 2013, on the one year anniversary of the Newtown school massacre, Amardeep Kaleka joins us in the studio to discuss the lack of progress on gun control and legislation to reduce hate crimes and mass shootings. The son of the president of the Sikh Temple who was murdered along with five members of his congregation by a white supremacist, Amardeep Kaleka is running for Congress to unseat Representative Paul Ryan in whose district his father was shot.
December 30 - The Regional Implications of a Wider War; The Refugee Catastrophe the World Largely Ignores; The War Within The War Amongst Syrian Rebels
Today we focus on Syria's descent into hell as the civil war becomes a war of attrition with the rebels losing ground and losing support as Jihadis overwhelm their ranks playing into Assad's hands. We begin with a broadcast of "Background Briefing" from January 6, 2013 as we assess that day's speech by the besieged Syrian dictator Bashar Assad that was a mixture of defiance and delusion devoid of any mention of a diplomatic possibility to end a war that is destroying Syria and has already claimed 60,000 lives. Henri Barkey, a former member of the State Department's policy planning staff, joins us to discuss the consequences of a collapse of the Assad regime and its regional impact, particularly on Iraq. He has an article at The American Interest "Spinoff: The Syria Crisis and the Future of Iraq".
Then from September 9, 2013 we speak with award-winning investigative journalist Max Blumenthal who is in Ramallah, Palestine, having just visited the vast Syrian refugee camps in Jordan. We discuss the appalling conditions the traumatized refugees live under and the fate of the many thousands more Syrian refugees just across the border who are prevented from entering Jordan. An opponent of U.S. intervention, Max Blumenthal was repeatedly told by the refugees that they want America to bomb Assad even if it costs them their homes and livelihoods.
Then finally from November 19, 2013 we go to Jordan to speak with Nicholas Heras, a Contributing Editor and Analyst with the international affairs journal Fair Observer. We discuss the bombing of the Iranian embassy in Beirut and the war within the war amongst the Syrian rebels where the more secular Free Syrian Army has clashed with the jihadist Al Nusra Front who in turn have clashed with other al Qaeda affiliated groups like the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, turning northern Syria into a patchwork of warring fiefdoms.
December 29 - The Multi-Billion Dollar Swindle of the Taxpayer; "American Coup"; International Blowback that is Hurting American Business
Today we focus on the leaks from the NSA contractor Edward Snowden that dripped out during 2013 and have shaken up the national security establishment causing repercussions to our foreign policy abroad and blowback to American businesses around the world. We begin with a broadcast of "Background Briefing" from June 10, 2013 and look into the post 9/11 Intelligence Industrial Complex following the latest leaks from an employee of an intelligence contractor Booze Allen Hamilton who in turn are owned by the Carlyle Group. A former CIA veteran Robert Baer joins us to discuss the real story that has been lost amid the familiar civil liberties versus national security arguments, and that is that the taxpayer is being swindled by multi-billion boondoggles that don't work.
Then from August 13, 2013 we speak with one of America's premier military experts who, along with the Washington Post's Dana Priest, wrote the groundbreaking expose of the privatized national security state "Top Secret America". William Arkin joins us to discuss his explosive follow-up "American Coup: How a Terrified Government is Destroying the Constitution". We discuss his new book that describes the desk-bound takeover of the highest reaches of government by a coterie of "gray men" of the national security establishment that he calls the executive agents. We look into how doomsday has become every day in contemporary America as a result of the forever war and how the mechanism is already in place for an American coup that William Arkin warns about in this latest and most powerful reminder of our fading freedoms that we are trading away for a fictional guarantee of security.
Then finally from December 9, 2013 we look into the full page ad from the giant tech companies in The New York Times and Washington Post calling on the president and Congress to rein in the NSA. Marc Rotenberg, the President and Executive Director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), joins us to discuss the call for tighter controls on government surveillance in an open letter from AOL, Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter and Yahoo, and the international blowback from NSA spying that is hurting American business.
December 26 - The Old Reactionary Right Re-Packaged as the Tea Party; Two Washington Insiders on our Broken Government; Senator Sanders on the Supreme Court Empowering Billionaires
As this year comes to a close, we are looking back on some of the stories that dominated the news in 2013. Today we will focus on the rise and fall of the Tea Party in 2013 and begin with a broadcast of "Background Briefing" from May 16, 2013 when the Tea Party was claiming political victimhood. We analyze the real nature of the Tea Party movement with Chris Parker, the author of a new book "Change They Can't Believe in: The Tea Party and Reactionary Politics in America". We discuss his thoroughly researched study of the Tea Party that presents itself as a new revolutionary phenomenon when in fact it is the old reactionary right re-packaged as a grassroots movement. With its funding from billionaires, it is much more the heir to the "Know Nothing Party", The Ku Klux Klan and the John Birch Society than to those who inspired the American Revolution.
Then from October 2, 2013 we speak with two Washington insiders who wrote the New York Times bestseller "It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism". Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann were among the first to expose the capture of the Republican Party by extremists and we discuss the threat to the constitution posed by Tea Party radicals who want nothing short of unconditional surrender by Barack Obama of his presidency.
Then finally from October 8, 2013 we look into arguments before the Supreme Court in McCutcheon versus the FEC that could strike down any remaining limits on spending on candidates and parties. Senator Bernie Sanders, who was in the Supreme Court and later spoke on the steps afterwards, joins us to discuss whether the Court will further empower a few billionaires like those behind the Tea Party shutdown, who are radically altering the American political landscape, moving the country further and further to the right.
December 25 - The Right Wing's Phony "War on Christmas"; Celebrating a Holiday in Which Materialism has Overwhelmed Spiritualism
On Christmas Day we look into the real meaning of Christmas and what it has to do with the frenzy of materialism that has been underway since Thanksgiving. Best-selling author Frank Schaeffer, who previously worked with such figures as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Focus on the Family's James Dobson, before breaking with the Religious Right his father helped create, joins us. We discuss the phony "war on Christmas" that the right-wing have created out of thin air as they rally to the support of a fellow "Christian", the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty, whose hateful rhetoric they are defending in the name of the prophet of peace and love whose birthday is being celebrated today.
Then we hear from Sister Ann Kendrick, one of the founders of the Hope Community Center in Apopka, Florida where she addresses the problems confronting migrant farm laborers in Central Florida. We discuss how she and the families of mostly undocumented immigrants celebrate Christmas, and the gulf between the material wants that overwhelm our culture and the spiritual needs that she ministers to the least among us, as and the gulf between the rich and poor widens in the land of plenty where just one family has a personal wealth equal to the entire wealth of 40% of all Americans.

September 08, 2009
One of the finer subtleties of coaching is talking up the coming Saturday's cash-strapped, deadbeat opponent: It keeps the boys on their toes, wards off evil karmic spirits and offers a handy reply just in case the chew toy isn't left strewn in pieces across the field. ("See? I told you they were better than you thought ...") So you get Urban Meyer describing Charleston Southern's defense as "tremendous," Jim Leavitt sweating preparations for Wofford, Lou Holtz complimenting the opposing long snapper, etc. It's all in the game.
But Nick Saban, intent on keeping Alabama revved to blast Florida International this week after convincingly dispatching Virginia Tech, may be the first coach to angrily insult reporters for accepting the premise of cupcakes in the first place:
"In no uncertain terms, you're a typical fan," Saban told a reporter Monday, his voice rising as he delivered a 3-minute answer. "That's fine. But I respect the people that we're playing. I respect our opponents. I want our players to respect our opponents. This guy No. 4 (FIU receiver T.Y. Hilton) is a better offensive player than anybody that we played against last week. You understand that? Whatever your perception is and what they ought to be, I don't think it's that. I don't want our players to think that either.
"Fans can think that as much as you want. You create that perception, which just creates more problems for me because the players read the papers, too."
Follow-up question, coach: What perception should the media create about a six-year-old I-A program that's 0-14 against "Big Six" schools by an average score of 32-14, routinely finishes in the bottom half (if not the very bottom) of the Sun Belt and had to axe its cheerleaders and band for lack of funds this offseason? I suppose the "experts" who set the Tide as 34-point favorites neglected to do their research.
Of course, Saban isn't alone in wanting to keep his team sharp, focused on the task at hand and as far away as it can get from the hype; such is every coach's dilemma, and he's probably right about T.Y. Hilton, who had 14 catches last year over 25 yards as a freshman, in comparison to anyone on Virginia Tech. But he may be the first coach to berate the present for dealing in reality instead of complying with his mission. It's the media's job to present the record -- in this case, that there is no existing shred of evidence that suggests Florida International, as a team, belongs on the same field as Alabama -- and his job to make sure his superior players ignore it.

Territory of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Samoa–Apia
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Samoa–Apia (Latin: Archidioecesis Samoa–Apiana; Samoan: Puleaga Fa'aAkiepikopo Samoa–Apia) consists of the Independent State of Samoa.
In 1842, the Propaganda Fide created the Apostolic Vicariate of Central Oceania that included New Caledonia, Tonga, Samoa and Fiji Islands. This lost territory with establishment by canonical erection by the Holy See on August 20, 1850, of the Vicariate Apostolic of the Navigators' Archipelago, entrusted to the Society of Mary (Marists). On January 4, 1957, the Vatican changed the name of the Vicariate Apostolic to Samoa and the Tokelau Islands.
The vicariate apostolic was elevated to the Diocese of Apia on June 21, 1966, and made suffragan to the metropolitan see of Suva, Fiji. On August 10, 1974, the name of the diocese was changed to Diocese of Apia o Samoa and Tokelau; and it was changed again on December 3, 1975 to the Diocese of Samoa and Tokelau.
On September 10, 1982, the diocese was elevated to the dignity of an archdiocese taking the name of the See city, Apia. Simultaneously, the Diocese of Samoa–Pago Pago was created from a portion of the former Diocese of Samoa Tokelau and made suffragan to the metropolitan see of Apia.[1]
- Pierre Bataillon S.M.(1842–1870)
- Aloys Elloy, S.M. (1870–1878)
- Jean-Armand Lamaze, S.M. (1879–1896)
- Pierre-Jean Broyer S. M. (1896–1918)[2]
- Joseph Darnand S. M. (1919–1953)
- Jean Baptiste Dieter S. M. (1953–1955)
- George Hamilton Pearce S. M. (1956–1967)
- Pio Taofinu'u S. M. (1968–2002)
- Alapati Lui Mataeliga (2002– )
Ecclesiastical province[edit]
As the metropolitan see, the archdiocese has two suffragans: the Diocese of Samoa–Pago Pago and the Mission Sui Iuris of Tokelau. Until March 2003, the Mission Sui Iuris of Funafuti was also a suffragan, but since that date it is now a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Suva.

But when Mercedes-Benz wheeled out its Vision SLR show car at California's Laguna Seca Raceway, the supercharged V8 burbling like a hot rod, and ran it down through the famous Cork-screw corner, it looked like a natural.
Mercedes has been carefully blending its heritage into today's vehicles. The SLR is the latest example, although it is difficult to visualise the link between the famous racing SLR sports cars of the mid-'50s and their modern namesake.
It is not difficult, however, to see how the McLaren-Mercedes Grand Prix cars influenced the SLR's quite dramatic exterior design.
In profile, the SLR has the sort of exaggerated long hood-compact cabin-short rear deck proportions seen in prewar Mercedes. It's a very lithe, athletic shape and it ends in a rather high tail - which is great for boot space.
Best of all, by all reports, the exterior design of the show car is about what we will get in the production car.
The feeling inside is simple, light and open, thanks to the light and airy glasshouse and the silver paint-and-beige suede finish. The seats are two-piece carbon fibre shells that sit on spring absorbers for added comfort.
Behind each seat is a removable, matching suede backpack. Simplicity was also key to the instruments, with all readouts fitting in a pair of round gauges ahead of the driver. Functions such as climate control, lights and the driving mode of the automatic transmission are on four large round switches on the centre console. There is a navigation/ TV display and CD player.
Access to the cockpit is via another tie to the past: swing-up doors. For safety reasons, Mercedes replaced gullwings with doors that swing up 75 degrees from the windscreen pillar. To open each door you touch a button and the handle pops out electrically, retracting after you get in.
Mercedes used aluminum in the front and rear sections of the body, where it deforms in the case of an accident. Carbon fibre is a major component in the central cabin where it provides an extra strong safety capsule. The maker calculates the use of these two materials trims weight by 40 per cent over a steel structure.
Naturally the supercar's aluminium suspension will have such gee-whiz technology as Benz's Electronic Stability Problem, though this time ESP is also tied into the braking system. So in addition to the ABS signals, a computer takes in such data as steering angle and sideways movement. It can brake wheels individually as needed.
There's more. The electro-hydraulic brakes use fibre-reinforced ceramic discs that weigh 67 per cent less and handle twice as much heat as cast-iron brakes.
The wheel-tyre combination for the SLR has licorice-strap Bridgestones, 245/35ZR-19s front and 285/30ZR-20s rear mounted on aluminum wheels.
The engineers in Stuttgart decided against using a V12, reasoning there was more than enough power available by supercharging a V8. The SLR's is based on the 5.5-litre V8 used in Benz's high-performance E55 and ML55 variants.
As in those cars, Benz's performance house AMG will build the engine, adding a compact mechanical blower and intercooler between the cylinder banks to boost power to 420 kW.
How quickly does this combination of light weight and power get you to speed? Mercedes reckons the SLR will reach 100 km/h in about 4.0 seconds and 200 km/h in in a tick over 11 seconds.
Mercedes appears ready to let it go all the way to 320 km/h and not limit it to 250 km/h as German makers have agreed to do with production cars.
The production car will be a joint effort with McLaren - whose technical director, Gordon Murray, will oversee the SLR.
Not just a grand image exercise for Mercedes, the SLR is planned to make a profit. The SLR and the Maybach super luxury car may repair some of the damage caused to the maker's reputation by the slow sales of the Smart car and the mixed press of the A Class.
From 2003, Mercedes plans to build 600-650 SLRs a year, priced at about $US300,000 each. Production will not be confined to the coupe - variations will begin with the SLR roadster shown at Frankfurt last month.

Computer scientists at the University of Liverpool have designed and demonstrated that a so-called "virus" can attack Wi-Fi networks, and found that it can spread "as efficiently as the common cold spreads between humans".
Chameleon travels across Wi-Fi networks via Access Points (APs) – which are devices that connect many homes and businesses to Wi-Fi networks. Many of the passwords on these devices are set as default and largely unchanged, so the "virus" is able to gain control easily, and steal private and confidential information, and passwords.
Chameleon is "able to avoid detection and identify the points at which Wi-Fi access is least protected by encryption and passwords", according to the University's website. They found that densely populated areas allowed the virus to spread more quickly and areas that offer Wi-Fi such as in hotels, airports and cafes were more vulnerable to attack since they offer no encryption security.
Apparently, Chameleon doesn't affect how a Wi-Fi connection works, instead it stealthily collects users' data and then moves on to find other Wi-Fi access points to infect.
Chameleon is only ever found in Wi-Fi networks, therefore, it can easily avoid detection from anti-virus software.
The scientists at Liverpool are working on software to prevent such attacks from taking place.
HMA! Quality Assurance manager, Zoran Tadic says "Whilst this is not a real virus, but a self-replicating router firmware that attacks routers which are not password protected, HMA! encrypts all data traffic with every VPN connection, so that even if a router is hijacked the traffic is unwatchable. All data is encrypted at the start and end points of the tunnel (the user's computer and our VPN server). The best way to ensure your VPN router doesn't get hijacked is to protect it by changing the login credentials (change the default ones) and use one of the standard Wi-Fi encryption protocols (WPA/WPA2 are the strongest ones). This would make every router 100% safe from Chameleon"

Kid-Friendly Rock Climbing Places in New Jersey
Fitness and fun in one
If you're like me, the mere thought of ice skating, sledding or any other outdoor winter sport is enough to make your teeth chatter. Yet, while it's tempting to microwave popcorn and watch a movie with your kids every weekend, research tells us (and common sense confirms) that it's important for them to get daily exercise (getting up to refill the popcorn bowl doesn't count). Luckily, New Jersey is full of fun, climate-controlled facilities, including bounce houses, laser tag arenas, and jungle gyms, where kids can get moving indoors when it's cold outside (or rainy).
Another option that serves as a way for parents to get in on the action with their kids (because let's face it: the bounce house is not for you) is to try rock climbing. It's an activity you can do together, and it's tops in building muscle strength, balance, and self-esteem, says Barbara Lawrence of New Jersey Rock Gym in Fairfield. The climbing facilities listed below are kid-friendly, don't require membership, and—best of all—are completely indoors!

Rock Climbing to New Heights
Kids often need a belayer—someone to control the ropes. You can take a one-time lesson at some facilities and belay for them, or a staff member can do the belaying. Call at least 24 hours in advance to check belayer availability.
Some places have special family packages or times. Visit the facility's website or call for details.
If your child falls in love with rock climbing, find out about the facility's membership packages, monthly passes, classes and teams. It just might be the activity that propels her to new heights!

Unanswered: Considerations for record locking in multiuser MDB backends?
I have little experience with multiuser MDB backends,and have some questions regarding ensuring that a particular holdings update process runs safely.
A transaction is saved through a form, a record is updated or added to the purchase table.
Then the holdings table will be updated.
I have not used transactions/rollback in this case, is that adviseable for this scenario? Would it solve the whole situation? (don't think so..)
The holdings update process use a dynamic recordset.
This update process fetches the transaction data just saved from the purchase table, does some calculations including new average.
What if another user/controller CORRECTS the PREVIOUS purchase right after the update process have fetched the data for the new average calculation, and before that process have saved the calculations back to the holdings table? This will firstly trigger an update of the previous record in the purchase table (ok), then actually perform a recalculation of concurrently calculated averages, namely the record just saved by the first user. I am not sure, but lets say that two computers with significantly differing speed does this, the latter the most speedy. Maybe that process will start later and finish earlier than the former, and then the former will overwrite the changed date with new values that did not take the short-lifed but correct change into account...
Two tables are affected for each update, the purchase table and the holdings table, and only one record in each at any given moment.
Should I (is it possible?) lock the records while the
holdings update process is running, and release it when the data is saved, AND include a check in the purchase save routine that checks for relevant changes before trying to re-edit a record that was just reported to be locked?
Is there a common way to handle or prevent this?
If at all - this all happens in milliseconds I guess, it could happen, even if not very likely. Could be that I am a bit paranoid here, but still, don't like if this is a possible scenario that is not properly handled.
I could make a test of the values of the holdings recordset at the beginning of the routine, and then check for changes just before updating, perhaps.
I am also wondering if these considerations should affect the choice between using a SQL UPDATE command or an RST.update (just now it is set to a SQL update).

Hm. Is setting a flag a reasonable solution?
One way that does not seem very tempting initially, is to create a Yes/No "tmpLock" field in the underlying tables, setting it to Yes from the ondirty event of the form, and to No on the afterupdate event.
But what if there is a crash on one of the computers, leaving that flag "on"? How to check which records that are locked are set locked by users that does not have the record in question open in a form at the moment..? (in order to quickly/automatically reset only relevant records to No?) Must perhaps also set a username and a precise timestamp to check for this, then it seems to become a bit of an application itself)
A cumbersome workaround, maybe a tad "too creative"? ;-)
Appreciate any suggestions/advice on this.
I am a bit pressed on time, would very much like a hint to if I am totally astray here by tomorrow/Sunday, as I must establish "some" control for this particular db before next week. I have a few weeks time more until this solution will be used by "many" concurrent users, though, but 2-3 people will start using it the coming week.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - ConocoPhillips Alaska (COPA) is in the initial stages of marketing its North Cook Inlet Unit and interest in Beluga River Unit. The company regularly reviews its assets to ensure the asset portfolio is optimized; this is an ongoing part of managing the business.
While historically significant to the company's investment in Alaska, the North Cook Inlet and Beluga River units are mature fields that are no longer considered core to Alaska operations. The focus will be on the company's current North Slope operations, including the Alaska LNG project.
In 2015, ConocoPhillips plans to invest more than $1.4 billion in capital projects, including CD5, Kuparuk Drill Site 2S and viscous oil development 1H NEWS. These projects will help offset production decline, sending new barrels of oil into the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.
COPA believes the North Cook Inlet and Beluga River units are important assets that offer good opportunities for the right buyer. Development of a data room for the sale is in progress, and is expected to open in early August.
The Kenai LNG Plant is not part of the sale offer.

The 31-year-old perished 6-7 (5) 7-6 (7-5) 7-5 7-6 (8-6) - his earliest defeat at Wimbledon since 2002.
The last time Federer failed to make a quarter-final was in 2003 when he dropped out of the French Open with a 6–7(6–8), 2–6, 6–7(3–7) defeat to Peru's Luis Horna.
It was so long ago that this is was was going on at the time.
- Apple launched the iTunes Music Store with 200,000 songs at 99 cents each in April. Apple also released an updated iPod that was lighter than two CDs and could hold up to 7500 songs.

Sonu Sood is living in his car!
While some workaholics live out of their suitcases, travelling around the globe, Sonu Sood is undergoing some similar experiences. The actor is apparently living out of his car!
Our sources say that Sonu has been shooting for one film during the daytime in Pune, and is working on another in Mumbai during the nights. So while he is travelling to and fro between the two cities, he has been catching up on his sleep inside his car.
A source informs us, "Sonu's on the roads shuttling between the sets of Prabhu Deva's film and the location of Sanjay Gupta's gangster sequel. It's hard on Sonu, but he felt there would be too many delays if the schedules shifted." Sonu remained unavailable for comment.

Toyota Financial Services is preparing to launch "excess wear and tear" policies this month. These are actually branded lease protection products. Jim Miller, the national manager of product development, said that Toyota and Lexus dealers have requested the captive finance company to create its own lease protection product.
Miller said that a survey was conducted and they interviewed dealers. He found out that around 25% of the dealers offered excess-wear products from an independent provider.
However, both dealers and customers see more value in a product that has the automaker's name. Experian Automotive said that the lease penetration for Toyota Financial Services (which cover the Toyota, Lexus and Scion brands) was about 31% of the captive's new-vehicle volume in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Experian said that this is above average for the industry, which had a 23% lease penetration in the fourth quarter. During the first two weeks on the market, Miller said that sales penetration for the new lease protection product was about 20% of lease customers.
Branding is fast becoming a trend in F&I products and not only for lease protection products. Ford Credit WearCare lease protection policies are already being offered by Ford Credit.
A variety of branded products have been released by Mercedes-Benz Financial Services and BMW Financial Services. Allstate Dealer Services phased out its in-house brand, CarMor, in 2011 in favor of the more popular Allstate brand.
Miller said that Toyota Financial Services already offers a few other branded products, such as extended-service contracts; guaranteed asset protection, or GAP; and credit life insurance.
The new lease protection products are named TFS Excess Wear & Use Protection Plan, for Toyota and Scion dealers, and LFS (for Lexus Financial Services) Excess Wear & Use Protection Plan for the Lexus brand. Toyota Motor Insurance Services Inc. is covering them both. [source: Autonews]

Branding & Brand Development
Developing a brand — a brand name — for your product or service is important because consumers relate to brands, and, ideally, the brand name relates to the promise of your product or service.
Just as with the name of your business, you'll need to be thorough in investigating possible brand names — certainly if the brand name(s) is different than your company name.
The name you choose for branding can be anything — a word, a group of words, or a group of letters — but ideally should be easy to remember, easy to say, and give the user some idea of the benefit of the product or service.
Some examples of good brand names:
- Speedy Cleaning
- No Hassle Loans
- 1-Hour Photo
- Merry Maids
- Paradise Hotel
- Therapeutic Massage & Acupuncture
- Beautiful Pets Grooming

November 24th, 2009, 01:52 PM #1Merchandise Sales Cycles
We all know that there are sales cycles where certain products perform very well. Gardening products in the spring, toys at Christmas....
I used to have a list of items that always went on sale certain times of the year, so that I could take advantage of the reduced prices. Were any of these items put on a sales cycle by the merchants (or an industry) themselves instead of reacting to consumer demand?
Do you think that some sales cycles have diminished somewhat due to more purchasing being done online? (Products are always available instead of just when a merchant stocks the store)
Are there certain products that one doesn't associate with a sales cycle but still drops off during the holidays? What? What products, if any, completely tank this time of year and completely bounce back in January?
Do you think this information is important to an affiliate marketer, especially newbies? I would think being armed with sales cycles would at the very least keep one from being disappointed over slow sales in a down cycle.
Does anyone have any great resources to share, specifically a very comprehensive list?I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Bud Lite than Kay.
November 24th, 2009, 03:14 PM #2
I think there have been similar discussions in the past. Some from the top of my head:
Most consumer items - The time leading up to Christmas
Travel - Summer
Office Products - January (when new budgets are released)
Diet & Fitness - January (New Year's Resolutions)

While it doesn't show actual sales volume, I think you can get a pretty good picture from Google Insights and/or Google Trends.
On the merchant side, I find this to be a VERY accurate tool in determining what's going to come when.
However, you can't reverse engineer the process there so to speak. You can learn that "fishing waders" are hot in March/April, but you can't ask "what should my fishing site be pushing in March/April".Kevin Webster

As we know from last week's Pulse Spotlight, the Fraser Valley is filled with incredibly talented artists! This month for our Frugal Fun adventure, we visited the studio of local pottery artist Jo Priestley, and learned about beautiful artwork, tending gardens, and taking time to enjoy the views of the Fraser Valley.
The Jo Priestley Pottery Studio & Garden is a great artistic destination to visit before the weather gets too chilly. Located in Mission, Jo opens her studio, personal gallery and award winning garden up to visitors Thursdays to Sundays from 10am – 5pm. Admission is complimentary, and visitors are encouraged to wander around the grounds and enjoy not only the pottery, but also the beautiful garden and a breathtaking view of the Fraser Valley. Take a few minutes to catch your breath on the bench facing over the mountain, or under the cover of the patio if it starts to drizzle.
With public and private galleries all over BC, the items on display in her personal gallery here in Mission are just a small sampling of Jo's work. Pottery amateurs and novices alike can appreciate the fine detail and exquisite glaze colour of all of Jo's pieces – if you look closely, you will notice that no two pieces are the same. If you see something you'd like to take home with you – you can! All items displayed in the showroom are available for sale.
While you're there, be sure to take the time to read the signs as you go along, and enquire about the different techniques used to create the pieces in the gallery. With so many different colour combinations and techniques, it is easier to truly appreciate the art once you are familiar with the elaborate steps involved in creating the pieces on display. Jo is always happy to chat to her visitors and introduce them to the world of pottery.
The Jo Priestley Pottery Studio & Garden occasionally hosts open houses, and holiday events – so be sure to watch the website for updates, and possible hour changes during the holidays.

What Is The Typical Range For Credit Scores?
Whenever you check on your credit score, most likely you will want to know how you compare with others. What is considered to be a good credit score?
A majority of the credit scoring models that are most commonly used have 300 to 850 ranges. Every lender sets standards of its own in terms of what it considers to be a "good" score. In general, however, scores fall along these lines:
- 720 and higher: Excellent credit
- 690-719: Good credit
- 630-689: Average or Fair credit
- 300-629: Bad credit
Fair Issac Corp. developed the credit scoring algorithm that most lending decisions in the U.S. utilize. A majority of FICO scores are in the range of 300 up to 850. The higher the score is, the better (There are also some FICO score versions, like those used in the credit card and auto industries, that use a 250 to 900 scale.)
According to the most recent data from April 2015, the average FICO score is 695. Around 54.7% of scores are 700 and higher, 23.3% are from 600 to 600; and 22% of scores are lower than 600.
Here is how these scores break down within each of the ranges, by score percentage:
FICO score ranges and percentages
|800 to 850
|750 – 799
|700 – 749
|650 – 699
|600 – 649
|550 – 599
|500 – 549
|300 – 499
Source: Fair Isaac Corp, FICO scores and data as of April 2015
The VantageScore, which is increasingly being used, uses the 300-850 scoring range as well. According to Experian, the credit reporting agency, in 2016 the average VantageScore was 673. (Since VantageScore and FICO take the same factors into consideration, in general the scores move in tandem; when there is a good score with one of them, it predicts a good score on the other.)

How is your life affected by your credit score?
Even if you have a score that is in the low 500's, it may still be possible for you to obtain credit, however it will either have specific conditions attached, like having to deposit money in order to receive a secured credit card or have a very high interest rate. You might need to put deposits down on your utilities or pay more for your car insurance.
However as you increase your score, you will gain access to additional credit products – and will be able pay less for them as well.
On the other end of the spectrum, borrowers who have scores over 750 have numerous options available to them, including be able to qualify for 0% interest credit cards and 0% financing on cars.
Find your starting point
Knowing where you stand is very important. That is why it really pays to over time monitor your score. There are numerous personal finance websites like NerdWallet where you can receive a free credit score.
The most thing you can do is use the same score each time you check it. Otherwise, it is similar to attempting to monitor your weight using a different scale each time – or switching between kilograms and pounds. Some sources might use a completely different scale. For example, Citi provides some of their credit card customers NextGen FICO credit card score access, which use a 250-900 scale.
So choose a score and then stick with it for monitoring your progress. When one score measures advancements you have made,it will be reflected in other scores as well.
Just be aware that scores fluctuate, just like weight does. A credit score is basically a snapshot. Each time you check the number can vary. As long as it is kept within a healthy range, these variations won't impact your financial well-being in a significant way.
Lenders look at other things besides credit scores
Whenever you attempt to borrow money, having a good credit score by itself won't guarantee approval or a good interest rate.
Your credit history is also review to gauge how likely it is that you will be repaying the money you borrow; you could have a ton debt but still have good credit scores if all of your bills have been paid on time.
However, it isn't reflected in your credit report whether you are able to afford to repay whatever credit you are currently applying for. This is why other debts and your income play key roles in lending decisions, since some lenders will consider what you earn and the assets that you have along with what you owe.
