Insect damage
Last year, I ordered fourteen violets from Canyon Creek Nursery (Oroville, CA). A number of the plants had curiously rolled leaves. I removed the affected leaves but the problem continued to spread, so I sent an affected leaf to the company, asking how to deal with this. I received no response and two months later, wrote again and asked for guidance. Again my letter was ignored.
I have since found this is likely a type of midge - can anyone please point me to a photograph for positive identification?
Also, I continue to find affected leaves and continue to remove them as I find them, but I would love to find a solution that prevents this damage.
Thank you for any help.
Is there any way you could post pictures of your plants' problem? Maybe a picture of the rolled leaves, and then one of what the inside of the rolled portion looks like when it's opened up? That would be most useful... this isn't a problem I'm familiar with; I've actually never seen anything like damage from a midge on violets. Rolled leaves usually indicate the presence of some sort of caterpillar in my experience. Is there anything visible inside when you unroll the leaves, like webbing or frass or a living insect of any kind?
Hello !
Howdy here ? ;o)
I see what you mean wildebloem, we have that kind of midge in France making and living in rolled leaves. Don't know its name (Denis or Nathalie would) but it's really hell :-/ I don't have any but my mum does.
I'm not too much into chemical things but I would have tried for a long time a general-purpose insecticide. First kill then ask for it is was LOL !
All the best - Thierry.
A pic, sororia albiflora X odorata alba first generation (F1)...I can hardly wait until I see F2 :o)
I searched the forum for "midge" and found a response to an earlier problem that sounds quite similar: violet gall midge ( Dasineura affinis) appeared to be the culprit in that instance. The suggested treatment was a systemic, but the person who responded wrote from France and I am not sure if the recommended treatment is available in the U.S. Does anyone here have a suggestion for treatment?
Also, I am very interested in finding additional violets. I am looking for fragrant types. Can anyone recommend sources? Thank you.
I suppose that a strong, general-purpose insecticide with systemic action (such as often comes as a soil drench or a granular preparation) would be warranted if no other organic method is working - I suggest a trip to your local garden center for advice on what is available, and legal to use, in your area. You'll want to use whatever knocks them out the fastest and most completely so that (if possible) you won't ever have to use it again. Did the plants arrive with this condition? The nursery should be willing to replace plants you had to destroy because of it, although I'll admit their apparent lack of communication in your case is a barrier to good customer service. Keep them updated on any measures you had to take that directly pertain to their responsibility as your plant supplier, as it will help support your case if you are entitled to ask for replacements or a refund.
I forgot to add to the previous message that I don't know of any other excellent source for fragrant violet cultivars besides Canyon Creek. Other than a tiny number of infrequently-sold Parma violets and odorata varieties being sold here and there, you really aren't going to find much available in our country (and there are no nurseries abroad that export violets); you're awfully lucky just to find Viola odorata that isn't actually just some mislabeled Viola sororia at the local nurseries. It's hardly a wonder that violets are so unpopular today. If there is something specific you're looking for, you may as well post here to see if someone has extras to share or knows of a source. Maybe one day if there is continued (or maybe we should say "rekindled") interest, some sort of functioning violet society exchange could be set up. I get the sense that most cultivars have traditionally been passed around under the table in lean times (and for violet fanciers, let's be honest, most times have been lean times since anyone living can remember).
Stefan, Yes, the plants did arrive in this condition. But what would be the point of trying to contact Canyon Creek Nursery again? I tried twice - not asking for a replacement or refund - and they refused to even respond.
I really am sorry about the lack of sources. I would love to add to the plants I have.
I've had dealings with them that involved waiting a long time for their response - they may very well get back to you, so I suggest you don't give up completely on that avenue. If this nursery is responsible for spreading around a serious violet pest, then I am very disappointed indeed; they've been a good source, and the only source, for most scented violet cultivars.
I see that the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station recommends trying Imidacloprid (which is a Bayer chemical sold under many names that's commonly used against beetles, and is also used in flea and tick killers for pets) at a systemic dose for violet gall midge if hand-picking doesn't work. They have a good page for identifying violet problems and their solutions.
Thank you for the link. The section under "Violet gall midge, Phytophaga violicola" pretty much describes the problem I am having. (In an earlier post, I mentioned I had found a reference on this forum to violet gall midge identified as Dasineura affinis.)
Thank you for the encouragement re. Canyon Creek Nursery, but I wrote them in November a year ago and then again in January. Even for a long time, that is a long time. It does not appear they have any intention of responding.
I did hear of another nursery, I believe it is named Ano Nuevo, located in Palo Alto. Unfortunately, it is "to the trade only". I do have some friends who own nurseries though, hopefully one of them will be be interested in stocking some.
You're right, that's too much time to wait. You could try calling them, but I can understand how unpleasant that might be after being ignored for so long.
I hope you can find more of what you're looking for at Ano Nuevo - do you know what varieties they might sell, or could you post a list when you learn more about them? I know I'd be curious what else is available in this country, even if it's only wholesale to the trade.
I've talked before about being interested in helping to resurrect the American Violet Society's web site, and although I've been far too busy to take that on lately, I still want to help make it happen. Then, maybe, trading can resume in earnest - although it can be facilitated here, there would be a far better audience through the AVS. After all, trading isn't just a good alternative to purchasing violet plants, it's vital to keep the increasingly scarce cultivar stock alive in our country.
I did call Canyon Creek Nursery once, when I could not get a response to an email message. In retrospect, I suppose that should have been a clue.
I checked out Ano Nuevo online - it appears it may be a cut flower grower, but I have not called and confirmed that. I will definitely let you know if they do sell plants, even if it turns out to be wholesale only.
Hi wildebloem,
I would expect it to be Dasineura affinis, violet gall midge, as has been mentioned.
The leaves characteristically thicken, but also roll-up. If you cut or pull a damaged leaf apart you should find a pale orange larva inside, unless it has got past that stage.
The midge most commonly affects V. odorata and related species and cultivars, at least here in the UK.
Imidacloprid should be effective.
But I usually just pick off affected leaves (as you are doing) and burn them. On a reasonably healthy plant, it will recover without difficulty. If you keep at it, the problem will probably subside, unless you are in an area which already has an infestation (fairly unlikely, I would guess). There is not a lot you can do against the adult midges (and , anyway, the first problem would be seeing them!)
I am surprised and disappointed you didn't get better response from Canyon Creek Nursery. John Whittlesey is a decent guy (whom I've met in person), and I would definitely phone him if I had a problem like this and it concerned you (personally, it would not concern me much, as I don't really consider it much of a problem).
Yes, Ano Nuevo are wholesalers. Both have been growing violets for many years.
Good luck,

LT4000 overheating/ charging problem
hi i have a craftsman lt4000(not sure what year) when i got this tractor the battery wouldnt hold a charge so i replaced it with a brand new one(not even a week ago). the tractor runs great for about a half hour the tractor dies and then wont crank over. but after it cools of it cranks over just fine and starts right up. so im not sure if its the coil, or the regulator or alternator... can someone please give some advice?
I have an LT155 which at the time was about 8 years old. I spent most of the summer trying to figure out why it would make one trip around the yard and stop. This included one trip to a Full service JD farm service center. It reached the point where I could not start it. Standing behind their work, they came out, picked up the tractor and had it for nearly a week. (as I said full farm service center the big farm tractors get priority of lawn tractors.) They finally figured it out. They isolated the problem to a bad coil. They replaced it and I have had no trouble since.
First thing I'd do is remove the engine tin and clean out the rodent nests etc.
Describe what you mean by "and then wont crank over".
Total silence?
Click and no crank?
Very slow cranking?
Cranks fine, but won't FIRE.
Some people use the terms crank, run, turn over etc. in the wrong way, which leads to confusion.
HOW did you determine it was overheating?
Post the engine model & type or the Sears 917.xxxxxx number so we can tell what engine you have. being able to look at the electrical schematic "might" also point to some potential trouble spots.
This post was edited by bill_kapaun on Tue, Jan 1, 13 at 19:09
Well, at least we know the brand of tractor and the brand of engine. What we really need to know is the Briggs & Stratton Model number and Type number (taken directly from the engine).
In lieu of the Briggs numbers we could use the full technical Craftsman model number from under the seat, that number typically begins like 917.xxxxxx.
Good luck.
28N707 is the Briggs model#. The TYPE# is the 6 digits after, such as-28N707-0160-01
Anyway, it's an OHV single cylinder, which is what we wanted to know.
The schematic for that tractor shows a 3 AMP charge system with separate AC lighting. (lights only work when running).
The typical first step for an engine dying is to immediately check for spark to see if it's a heat related coil issue.
HOWEVER, if the engine doesn't crank fast enough, you won't have spark either.
That leaves us in somewhat of a dilemma!
FREE things to do.
Look up Walt Conner on this Forum (you might search for "my engine won't start" type topics)
Walt has an excellent instruction sheet on adjusting the valves.
Valve adjustment is critical on these for the compression release to function. I must admit though, the problem seems to occur on trying the initial start, not a hot restart.
Email WALT FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS!
2. Get the battery load tested. Many auto parts do this for free.
I don't think that's the problem, since it starts cold, and apparently restarts after cooling. Maybe it's getting "marginal enough"?
3. Cleaning the cooling fins is STILL a good idea.
Maybe with those things, we can either get it to stay running or at least crank it when hot in order to check for spark.
have not tried the valve adjustments but took engine shroud off, removed mouse nest and cooling fins had no debris. i jumped the battery and got it started and it ran for a good hour before i manually shut it off. so i think this "overheating" problem is solved. but she still wont start. i got my volt meter and hooked it up to the battery and before start its at about 12.7volts. but when i crank it it drops way down to 3 volts.... i am at a loss
Well, that tends to indicate that you do have a heat related coil issue. It'll probably get worse as time goes by.
Cooler air temps this time of the year may also cause the engine to run a "few" degrees cooler.
I'd still adjust the valves. It IS considered "normal" maintenance, although most owners aren't aware of it.
You can do voltage drop tests over the individual components.
You already did one on the entire cranking system.
An example to test a starter solenoid-
Put the + lead on the battery side stud and the - lead on the starter motor stud side.
Crank engine.
Any reading is the voltage drop across that specific component WHILE CRANKING.
You can narrow it down to as little as battery post to battery cable terminal that attaches to the post.
You can group several components such as battery + post to starter motor case and basically test the + side crank circuit.
You can also connect between starter motor case, back to battery - and check the "ground side" parts/connections.
ALL tests to be done with the engine cranking.
You might have something as simple as the engine mounting bolts to the frame being loose and "moving" a bit as things heat up.
With the V Drop tests, you can narrow it down rather quickly.
I would do one across the starter motor itself, because it could be failing.
"any reading on the volt meter while cranking is a voltage drop?"
Yes- Basically, it's the amount of voltage taking the path of least resistance". ie "around" the component rather than "through" the component.
"when testing the starter the voltage went up just to about 1volt"
Was that just the starter motor itself, or other parts added?
IF the motor only, that's not too bad.
There's still a couple volts out there though due to bad connections etc. Simply isolate them down to the highest resistance ones first.
Sometimes it can be as simple as the battery cable terminal to the battery cable wire. It might look great, but be a poor connection.
A couple .1 volts here and there start to add up.
The ground side is just as important as the + side.
Don't be afraid to test things as innocuous as the actual starter motor case to the engine block.
Sometimes starter solenoids can get higher than wanted internal resistance. Something as simple as a battery cable has 2 connections, 2 terminals and possible undersize wire that can cause a voltage drop.
When not cranking, you are simply jumping directly to the starter motor.
Your meter has such high resistance, negligible current flows.
Do the same thing with a HEAVY gauge wire and the starter motor would crank.
That's why the tests are performed when cranking. We want to measure what DOESN'T go through the connection/switch etc.
Often, with the old needle type test meters, you'd have to start on a higher range so as not to bend the pointer, start cranking, switch the meter to a lower range to measure the voltage, disconnect meter or switch back to the higher range and then stop cranking.
The "pretty much zero" part is what we WANT to measure!
As I mentioned a few .1 Volts here and there adds up.
So what are you testing now? Motor or solenoid?
IF it was to the 2 large solenoid studs, then you have a bad solenoid.
Keep in mind I said STUDS. IF you were actually connected to the cable terminals, you might have a "flaky" connection between the terminal & solenoid stud.
This post was edited by bill_kapaun on Thu, Jan 3, 13 at 19:09
Which "universal" solenoid?
There are 2 types to be concerned with.
One will have 1 small stud & the other will have 2.
In the 1st, the solenoid "body" completes the "activation" circuit to ground.
The other has the 2nd small terminal connected to ground.
It appears this one does both?
This post was edited by bill_kapaun on Thu, Jan 3, 13 at 19:20
yes the solenoid in my tractor is exactly like that one and the universals i think are universally for all tractors where there are 2 studs on the solenoid im not exactly sure, but i will order one or go to my local lawn mower shop and see if they have one
The solenoid in the image posted by Bill could be used to replace a solenoid having only 1 small terminal simply by making sure the small nut on the right (grounding side) is tightened down securely. The solenoid would then be grounded if the solenoid is mounted on a metal surface that is common to the chassis ground.
If the solenoid is mounted onto a non conductive (plastic for example) it would be necessary to run a grounding wire from the small terminal on the right to a point on the chassis that is grounded.
And finally, if the machine wiring is configured so that the solenoid GROUND circuit is also controlled by a separate safety switch (in addition to the other small terminal being controlled by another different set of safety switches) the GROUNDING STRAP you see connected to the small right terminal.............would be removed from the terminal and thrown away before connecting the OEM grounding wire to that small terminal.
I hijacked Bill's photo to illustrate the point I'm trying to make. (the universal applicability of the solenoid shown)
Red arrow indicates the grounding strap provided with this solenoid.
Very cool Mownie. I was going through your illustrated pic withdrawals! :) Anyways, something for your notes with the AYP kit # 146154, it actually comes with a neat little grounding harness/ instructions in the bag. They also delete 1 mounting bolt, so it is an easier install. Obviously, the universals that I have seen don't. Tho, I haven't bought the universals in a while. I dunno if one buys a part in a bubble pack at the Sears store in the mall if does though.
I don't know the formula for how certain aftermarkteers choose a configuration for these and other devices. I have seen one universal solenoid that was configured with two small control posts where the ground terminal had a grounding strap that reached over to one of the mounting bolt holes.
This made it truly easy to get rid of the strap for applications using a switched ground as well as a switched hot.
The one in bill's photo looks like you would just unfold it and leave it in place, or unfold it and twist it off to remove it when a switched ground was necessary.

I just bottled a batch of American Pale Ale (Sierra Nevada Clone), in which I dry-hopped a 1/2 oz. of hops in the secondary. Even though I strained the wort before putting it in the primary, and also used the secondary, I still had a bunch of floaties (hops I imagine mostly). What is the recommended method for keeping this stuff out of the bottle? When I got to the bottom of the batch things were pretty messy. I assume it will settle to the bottom but I'd love to keep the stuff out in the first place. Should I use a hop bag? During boil or just for dry hopping? Could I put some sort of strainer to put around the racking tube? How do y'all deal with this problem?
The best way to deal with it depends on several things including your equipment. ie carboy vs bucket as a fermentor. I usually use hop bags in the boil kettle. You don't have to be perfect in the boil kettle as you will end up with hot and cold break material in there either way.
As to in the fermentor, I use a carboy and I just toss the hops in loose for dry hopping. I used a bag once in the fermentor, and I think you only need to have the experience one time of trying to remove a bag of swollen hops through the neck of a carboy to abandon that practice.
To keep hops out of the keg, I use a piece of very fine mesh fabric that I rubber band around the end of my racking cane that goes into the beer. You could use a small hop bag or paint strainer as well. It works pretty well.
I don't strain going into the fermenter. It all settles out as trub anyway. I wait until the beer is clear, then dryhop for about 7 days. When I go to bottle or keg, I just rack carefully and don't pick up much at all in the way of hops debris. Hops particles can clog my diptube in my keg, so I avoid racking them over. It's not hard, since there is a little plastic piece on the end of the racking cane that helps keep stuff out.
When I rack, I start the siphon in the middle, below much of the floating hops and above the trub. As it lowers, I lower the racking cane until I'm just above the trub. That seems to work really well, and I've never had an issue with floaties.
I think I'll give the mesh w/ rubber band a try this time. I've got some paint strainers that I was going to use as a hop bag, but I think I'll forgo it. I haven't haven't had a problem in previous batches, but this last is the first I've dry hopped. From what I've read it's probably best to avoid using the hop bag in the boil. I might try it next time I dry hop, since I'm using a bucket. Thanks for the advice.

Dude as usual you rock at this, cannot wait, have been for awhile but well worth it.
I am the Darkness inside your mind, I am the grief and sorrow within your heart. I am souless and empty. I am the lack of. The lack of compassion, remorse, pity. Yet I am the loss, the regret, the broken heart. When a storm cries, I am it's tears. I am a contradiction. Creation flows through my veins. I am the artistic, the melancholy, the somber reminder of your mortal coil. When all is lost, and life has withered away to nothing more than dust, I will remain. I am...Vormaen. Artist, actor, anything man trying to help the modding community make sweet mindf**ks. Pm me if you need concept work done, I'm all eyes and ears.....literally.
Dude as usual you rock at this, cannot wait, have been for awhile but well worth it.
So no basic exploring? I think a total map excursion would be just fine with MP options but most people just wanna explore the island and get chased by the smoke monster
Looks great though! We're excited!!!!
That's cool, I've been watching your progress for sometime as you know and will look forward to this excellent chance to visit the island. My fiancee is even hyped about it, and she hates Crysis.
Nice, cannot wait!!!!!
Sorry you did not even get mentioned, the conest was a JOKE anyways.
Oh wow....I said insertion....hehe, Freudian slip!
It's real. You know Bush probably whacked that turkey afterwards for a good ol Texan Thanksgiving!
Like a one legged man in an *** kicking contest.
But he's go...two...legs....yeah.....
original: Lyons-family.co.uk
That was my one and ONLY terrorist submission, cause frankly it was gonna get played out anyhow. And because terrorists do NOT like Jews and I do not need anymore unwanted attention.
No because he was just an actor, remember? And they MUST have got their looks from their mother.....yeah....
funny and offensive. Good mixture.
I mean in the description.
Lol, that's funny!
Ok, someone tell me, but does Geralt look like Scarface in this picture? "I want you to meet my little friend!"
well considering Janet Jackson had her head turned to the right, there was some work involved! But thank you.
Yeah, try not to bring it to anyone's attention, m'kay?
You think you're cute, but you're not.
Um, cancer survivor here, not funny, jerkoff. See if you make those jokes when you get prostate cancer and only have 6 months to live, douche.
Hehe, if there was a theme to this thread it would be, "Wash rinse repeat, wash rinse repeat!"
Yung23 has been working on creating a 3d layout of the island for some time, and I fully expect this to be good. Good to see you join the MODDB community!
So, Lost the Witcher 2 contest, acted like a sore loser, had no idea why. Hope this day ends quickly.
Scott posted in the WIP forum for anyone seeking answers.
NO, I do not feel like punching them in the face. Just not happy with their judgement. If had just been the three MODDB judges things may have looked different, but CD Projekt Red also had input and so there you have it.
Yeah, put in a tampon and shut up. Did it occur to you we were the only one's invested in it to care?
Yeah I agree, I'm done. Congrats and enjoy.
Should have gotten more attention by the judges. But loved it.
You put a lot of work into this, I wish you'd have been higher on the food chain
This was perfect, should have won in my opinion.
Personally I loved the Soccer one, that one scared me cause it was simple yet VERY effective, and the comic strip was priceless, if you ask me those should have been top tier
Yeah, we know. Doesn't matter, what's said is said, no way we can have the decision reversed.
I could guess that the Judges, who were only supposed to be Dave, Scott and Ben, must have thought my stuff was offensive, but what about everyone else? I'm sorry, but what was funny about the PSN one? I hear you all saying it deserved it, but I'm 100% positive there were others that were put together better, with DETAILED description, and the picture basically told the story itself. I do not think I will ever do another contest here, as much as I love MODDB, nor will I come here that often anymore. Yeah, they broke my heart. snif.
Ok, I loved all the submissions but I have to say, I dispute this to the enth degree. Humor was in oodles in all these posts, and I hardly find these ones original or funny. Serves me right for following the guidelines. Hell the runner up Hitler one was just, static. Was my Hitler one so OFFENSIVE that it couldn't even beat a static image for runner up?????? No offense to the guy who posted, but I put a lot of hard work and comic timing to at least get a "Hey, funny stuff, great job!" Call me a spoilsport all you like, I think this contest was ********, the rules were ********, and I call for everyone to DISPUTE this and ask for a more detailed reason why these won. We ALL read the guidelines and know what was asked of us. I say something is amiss.
Yeah, 2nd place guy joined May 11th, and we'll probably never hear from that guy again. and it didn't even look incorporated very well, but what do I know about comedy, I'm only RELATED to a comedian!!!!!
What the heck, that chunk wasn't there before!!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, if she could figure out which way was what. She is the biggest idiot in American history, next to the guy that created that weight tool that looks like people are whacking off.
Deleted original and cleaned up both the text and the language, besides thought of something funnier to put.
Real nice!
Besides I know this will not win, it's too serious. I was just proud of it and decided to post it.
wow, quick response! Didn't see one before, so posted, brother. Did not mean to rain on your parade.
"I'm only gonna break break, break break your heart"
Nevermind, guess it's okay, mature title and all.
title changed
Do NOT drop the soap!!!
lol.....VERY FUNNY!

28 year old woman | New York, NY, USA | Seeking men 26-36 within 10 miles
Hi there...
I grew up on Long Island and moved to the Upper West Side of NYC after graduating from college. Although I started my career in the children's book publishing industry, I moved into the financial services sector around two and a half years ago. I really enjoy my job and was just accepted to the part-time MBA program at NYU Stern...so it should be an interesting experience attempting to juggle a full-time job with classes.... One of my favorite places is the beach (from white sands to rocky shores), I am happy to spend as much of my free time wherever water meets land. I am also a huge fan of brunch - starting Sunday with eggs and champagne is always a plus. When I'm not at the shore or enjoying a plate of eggs benedict, I like trying new foods and discovering restaurants in my neighborhood. Some of the best meals I've ever had were at the most unassuming, hole-in-the-wall places that I just happened to stumble upon by chance. I consider myself fairly active and enjoy long runs in the park, along the west side highway and on the treadmill (at least when the weather isn't cooperating). I've recently taken up trapezing and find it incredibly liberating, plus it's a really good work-out for the upper body. I'm very close with my family and enjoy spending time with them when I'm able to get out of the city for a weekend. You: smart, witty (with just a touch of goofiness), affectionate and most importantly, kind.
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
London, San Francisco, Montauk, any coast in general
Running, swimming, reading, baking
Most recently, my GMAT course book. However, when I'm able to tear myself away from the thrilling world of data sufficiency and sentence correction, I enjoy post-apocalyptic novels (especially those that involve zombies).

How often to water new Sequoia Strawberry plants?
frdnicholas(Albuquerque NM)March 6, 2013
I just put in some strawberry plants in beds that get 3-4 hours of mid day sun here in Albuquerque. They are very small plants. I am wondering for how many days I should soak them to help them get established?

|With vertical adjustment of multifocal lenses
|ADJUSTABLE EYE GLASSES WITH A MAGNETIC ATTACHMENT - In a particular embodiment, an eyeglass device is disclosed that includes a first frame member including a first frame member front that will often hold at least one corrective first lens and including a first end portion adapted to couple to a first temple. The eyeglass device further includes a second frame member having a second frame member front to hold at least one corrective second lens. The second frame member is adapted to associate with the first frame member via a magnetic coupling associated with the first end portion to secure a position of the at least one second corrective lens relative to the at least one first corrective lens to achieve a desired focal power.
|ADJUSTABLE EYEWEAR, LENSES AND FRAMES - Embodiments provided herein may comprise eyewear such as spectacle frames, eyeglasses, lens housings, etc. that may move (or otherwise adjust a position) such that the lenses of the eyewear move relative to a wearer's eye. The movement of the frames may be such that one or more optical zones of the lenses are positioned in front of a wearer's eye (or in a more operable viewing position). Embodiments may comprise a movable member that may be utilized to adjust the position of the lens, as well as various mechanisms for adjusting the position of the movable member.
|TRANSLATING MULTIFOCAL EYEGLASS LENSES - Embodiments may provide multifocal eyeglass lenses and eyewear that may comprise multifocal translating eyeglass lenses. The eyewear may comprise a lens housing, a first temple and a second temple coupled to the lens housing, and a first and a second lens supported by the lens housing. The lens may comprise a first optical zone having an optical power corresponding to a wearer's far distance day time optical power need and a second optical zone having an optical power corresponding to a wearer's far distance night time optical power need. The eyewear may further comprise a movable member coupled to the lens housing, the first temple, or the second temple, wherein the movable member may be configured to move between a first position and a second position, where a position of the lens may be based at least in part on the position of the movable member. The eyewear may further include a mechanism adapted to adjust the position of the movable member.
|Lens pivots in and out of optical path
|Flip up safety, magnificaition or reading glasses - The invention relates generally to the field of reading glasses with safety as a factor in many cases where these glasses are used during the work day. The lenses are attached to a frame which is not a typical frame for glasses and frame and lenses are attached to each other by a small hinge which allows the lenses to flip up and down without removing the glasses and frame. Unlike standard reading glasses that you take off when not reading, they can become lost or broken while not on your head during work. The important feature is that while quite often a worker has one hand occupied with tools, the other hand is free to flip the lenses up or down without removing the glasses.
|Eyewear With Enhanced Fit - Eyewear having an enhanced fit which may be used for safety, sports, and the like. The eyewear may provide features which permit enhanced airflow and an enhanced fit to a user's face. Such features may include greater adjustability to provide greater comfort. Eyewear including an RFID tag which is activated to send or receive transmissions when the eyewear is unfolded and/or positioned in a position to be worn by a user.
|Fly-wing rotating lens eyeglasses - A spectacle frame and lens arrangement whereby each lens rotates up and out of the field of vision by pivoting about a central pivot mechanism in the frame which keeps the lenses within the same plane both in the park and use positions. This differs from traditional flip-up spectacles that operate by causing the lens to fold up and forward from the user's eyes or outward to each side. This is accomplished by a simple squeeze of the frame and lower edge of a single lens between the forefinger and thumb of one hand.
|Invertible or reversible multifocal type
|PROGRESSIVE POWER LENS MANUFACTURING METHOD AND PROGRESSIVE POWER LENS - The present invention is made to provide a method for manufacturing progressive-power lenses in a manner in which inventory burden of semis can be reduced.
|GLASSES WITH TWO POSITION LENSES - Glasses such as bifocals, which have refractive lenses which are rotatable at least between two positions. A manual control rotates the lenses such that if bifocal, the relatively small, high magnification zone of each lens can be moved to a high position opposed to the usual low position of fixed bifocals. The user is spared the necessity of holding the head at an awkward posture when viewing overhead objects.
|Lorgnette type
|Vision assist device with an integral carabiner and optional light - A vision assist device without side temples comprises a frame for holding a first vision assisting lens with a carabiner clip that extends from the frame for use as a handle. The carabiner clip has at least 3 sides, at least one of said sides including a bar with spring biasing to define a closed clip position. The carabiner clipped device can be used as reading glasses, a magnifying glass, lorgnette and/or binoculars. Optionally, the carabiner includes a switch-activated light. One preferred embodiment uses overlapping lenses to provide twice the vision correction when folded closed.
|Pince-nez type (including pince-nez bridges, nose grips and nose pads therefor)
|LIGHTED GLASSES - Lighted glasses are provided that selectively project light forwardly of the glasses while also having a thin profile by avoiding the use of temple arms. The lighted glasses include a central light mount and a pair of lenses connected to the light mount by resilient arms. The arms allow a user to pull the lenses generally away from each other to fit on a wearer's nose. The light mount is configured to house a light assembly that includes a battery, a light source, and a switch to control operation of the light source.
|Structural member for eyeglass, eyeglass frame comprising the structural member, and processes for production of the structrual member and the eyeglss frame - Disclosed are: a structural member for use in an eyeglass which has a super elastic property and shape memory property while retaining an excellent biocompatibility in addition to the fact that it is N-free, and which also has an excellent cold workability; an eyeglass frame comprising the structural member; and a process for producing the structural member or eyeglass frame. A structural member for an eyeglass comprising a Ti—Nb—Zr alloy which comprises (A) 40 to 75% by weight of Ti, (B) 18 to 30% by weight of Nb, (C) 10 to 30% by weight of Zr and (D) 0.2 to 3.7% by weight of at least one additive metal element selected from the group consisting of Al, In and Ga.
|METHOD FOR CALCULATING A SPECTACLE LENS USING VIEWING ANGLE-DEPENDENT PRESCRIPTION DATA - Optimizing a spectacle lens by:

Radial Property Group, LLC 5704 Wayne Crest Dr., Flowery Branch, GA 30542----Phone (770)967-4625 Evaluation Services for Non-Accrual and Past Due Real Estate Loans It's often difficult to determine if a loan is non-performing due to weakness in the current market or a result of poor execution by the developer. An updated appraisal report can be of some help, but there are many development issues that are omitted in an appraisal. For example, viability of infrastructure, verification of permits, sewer, water and environmental issues are all examples of items often assumed by an appraisal report that may or may not be in existence. Having extensive experience in development, we can identify the issues that matter and determine if there are any hidden reasons that a property may or may not be what it seems. We would like to believe that the banks customer (borrower/developer) has been up front and disclosed any potential flaws with the project and has taken care of all the items necessary to complete the project in a quality manner, however, that is simply not always the case. For a very small fee relative to the value of the property, we can give you unbiased information about the project that is necessary for you to make good banking decisions. Asset Management When a problem asset has been taken back, and the true status of this asset has been determined, a plan must be developed that will lead to a sale which will net the bank the greatest amount of money. Determining which issues are affecting the property and which can be remedied is critical. Using our experience, we will guide the bank through the process of determining where money may need to be spent in order to protect its asset. This rarely means finishing the project, but by addressing critical details that may have been overlooked by the previous developer, we can position the asset to achieve its greatest net sale price.

What's the only thing worse than a sequel? The only prospect worse than paying £10 at your local cinema to have your favourite movie ruined, forever. The answer has three words. Straight-to-video.
In the '90s, home release sequels became fairly common. You'd greet them with surprise at your local Blockbusters and then want to pull your eyeballs out when you took them home and watched them. They're probably called straight-to-dvd or straight-to-Blu-ray now, but they still exist.
Here are 21 absolute stinking sequels - the vast majority of which weren't even considered good enough for the cinema. How many of them have you watched?
1. American Pie Presents: Band Camp
2. American Pie Presents: Beta House
Maybe it's the Eugene Levy factor - just why did he keep starring in all the sequels?! - but we have weird sentimentality for the American Pie home release collection. We know that they're not technically canon, »

Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler Arrested in Bar Brawl
Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has been arrested following an altercation at the Corkscrew Saloon on the Furnace Creek Ranch in Death Valley, Calif.

What's more metal than obesity, high cholesterol and hardened arteries?
Tony Iommi says he has a 30 percent chance of his lymphoma going away entirely.
As Black Sabbath start work on a new record, Ozzy Osbourne says he'd consider a reunion with the band's original drummer -- but only on one condition.
A new three-disc tribute album takes a fresh approach to honoring Black Sabbath.
The band members publicly wondered whether they were finished for good after 2013's '13' album, but Black Sabbath will reconvene one last time for a final studio album and world tour.
Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi hinted that the group's July show in London could be their last concert. Now, vocalist Ozzy Osbourne has offered his take on the matter.
The albums Black Sabbath recorded during their first go-round with Ozzy Osbourne will be collected in a new box set. Rhino will release 'Black Sabbath: The Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978' on April 15.
Co-founding Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward paid tribute to his contemporary in Led Zeppelin on his 'Rock 50' radio show (embedded above), saying, "If you want to strive toward something, just listen to John Bonham."
Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin each won an award at the Grammys' annual Pre-Telecast Ceremony this evening. Which is something that probably should have happened in 1974, but whatever we'll take it.

apropos, whatis and makewhatis
This month's column looks at three very useful and related commands, apropos, whatis and makewhatis. To understand why these commands are so valuable, it helps to grasp the underlying philosophy that continues to guide evolving versions of Unix, including Linux. That philosophy remains one of creating small, portable, specialized programs that perform one task well, and that can receive input from, and redirect output to, other programs.
This philosophy has created a proliferation of small, powerful, but extremely limited programs. Just do a directory listing of /usr/bin, and you'll see what I mean. And that's not all of them. You could sit down and run every one of them to see what they do. Or you could begin reading the hundreds of man pages available describing these commands. No matter which method you use to learn the commands, in the end, you'd still probably forget most of them due to the sheer volume. So how do you know which of the hundreds of programs available can do the job for you? Or which of the commands will be best suited to your particular needs? apropos and whatis come to the rescue.
Apropos, as defined by the dictionary, means "apt; relevant; suited to the occasion, though not strictly belonging to the subject under consideration." These definitions, particularly the last one, are totally apropos. apropos will list programs with a one line synopsis of each program based on a keyword search. whatis is similar, but even more constrained; i.e., the actual command is given as the argument, rather than a keyword, so there is less output.
Before we look at how apropos can help us, we need to ensure that the database apropos uses exists and is up-to-date. Enter makewhatis. This command creates the whatis database files used by both apropos and whatis. They are located in each ../man directory and catalog the manual files in each of the individual cat? and man? subdirectories.
To create the whatis database files, you need to invoke makewhatis as the root user. Non-privileged users normally do not have write permission in the ../man directories to create the whatis database files. A second clue to the nature of makewhatis is its location. makewhatis is usually found in the /usr/sbin subdirectory, indicating its classification as a system administration program. Ordinarily only root's PATH environment variable contains the sbin directories. makewhatis may be invoked by root's crontab file and run on a recurring basis, and you may wish to include it if it isn't already there. But that is beyond the scope of this article. If you can log in only as a non-privileged user, or are sure your whatis database files exist, you may want to skip ahead to the next section. If you begin to see <keyword>: nothing appropriate, you'll need to have your system administrator run makewhatis.
Running makewhatis for the first time will take several minutes, so be patient (go have a cup of coffee). Run by itself, makewhatis will create the whatis database file in /usr/man. To ensure that all the man locations are cataloged, use the -w switch. This will read the file /etc/man.config and use the man paths it specifies. Or you may add paths following the -w switch and they will be used as well. If you are want to know which paths will be cataloged, type man --path, and you will see where /etc/man.config believes your manuals are. If you have other paths, they should be added to your man.config file.
Another makewhatis option is -c. This switch, when used alone, will catalog only the ../man/cat entries listed in man.config. Other cat subdirectories may be added following the -c switch, and they will also be cataloged.
You may, however, want only to update the whatis databases with newly added commands. Use the -u switch to update the database files. This switch reads the time of the whatis database file and adds those manual pages created or updated since.
If you want to know what makewhatis is doing, add the -v switch, and you will see each man directory entered and each command as it is added to the list. Each switch used with makewhatis should be separated by a space and preceded by a hyphen; the switches cannot be combined. makewhatis does have one weakness: if your system does not have sufficient RAM and virtual memory, makewhatis will fail. If you get an error message—and you are running makewhatis as root—add more swap space and try again.
This was an awesome article for me, as I am learning linux and found the sheer number of commands a little overwhelming. This article really give people like me a tool to help teach myself.
thanks again!
Oh, and can anyone understand what the heck the guy before me (magical enema ?) is even saying?

Small talk makes us happier
'Don't talk to strangers' has been the age-old wisdom of many parents for generations.
Kids have no fear and always say hi to strangers. My kids say hello to whomever will listen and engage in conversation with them. They talk to people to learn their names, ask how old they are and ask how their days are going. They talk to strangers anywhere — standing in line to pay at the grocery store, going for a walk or out on the soccer field.
Adults can learn a thing or two by talking to strangers.
A recent study by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business proves the benefits of talking to strangers. Two groups of subway and public transit commuters were given a task — people in the first group were told to carry on with their usual commutes, wear headphones and to avoid engaging with the person next to them. Those in the second group were told they had to talk to the strangers sitting beside them. The results are surprising.
The researchers found that talking to strangers actually makes us happier. This is because people care what other people think about them. When we talk to strangers, we hope that they like us. So we try to impress them by sounding smart, funny and nice. We try to get strangers to laugh and we try to make them think that we are interesting. In the process of making that connection, we end up smiling and laughing ourselves and engaging in behaviours that make us happy. This in turn makes us feel like we are actually smiling and having a good time.
Not all interactions will go well but we seem to forget those which don't and only remember the ones that do.
As adults, we have the misconception that talking to strangers is boring and that we will be stuck with someone who won't stop talking to us. We forget that talking to strangers is enjoyable and beneficial to our well-being. Not only does it make us happier,but there are other benefits. They may include flirting with a pretty girl to get a date, making a connection to get a discount at a store, or learning new information.
We really do underestimate the degree to which people make us happy and how interactions with people bring happiness into our lives.
Instead of picking up your smart phone or headphones try using your gift of gab and think of it as an opportunity.

Subclinical Vitamin K Deficiency boosts Knee Osteoarthritis risk
By Jimmy Downs
SSunday March 3, 2013 (foodconsumer.org) -- ubclinical vitamin K deficiency may increase risk of knee osteoarthritis, according to a new study recently published in the American Journal of Medicine.
Devyani Misra, MD, MS from Boston University School of Medicine in Boston, Mass and colleagues conducted the study and found men and women who had subclinical vitamin D deficiency were 56 percent more likely to develop knee osteoarthritis, compared with those who had no deficiency.
Osteoarthritis is the most common arthritis and knee osteoarthritis is the leading cause of lower extremity disability among older Americans. There is no treatment available to prevent osteoarthritis.
Vitamin K is known to play a role in regulating skeletal mineralization and therefore may be involved in the pathology of osteoarthritis. The current study was intended to examine the association between subclcinical vitamin D deficiency and risk of knee osteoarthritis.
Participants enrolled in the Multicenter Osteoarthritis (MOST) Study were subject to knee radiographs and MRI scans at baseline and 30 months later and serum phylloquinone (vitamin K) was measured at baseline.
Participants with subclinical vitamin K deficiency was found associated with 56 percent increased risk of incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis and 139 percent increased risk of cartilage lesions, compared with those without vitamin D deficiency.
The researchers concluded "In the first such longitudinal study, subclinical vitamin K deficiency was associated with increased risk of developing radiographic knee osteoarthritis and MRI-based cartilage lesions."
