On the recent Consumers Report (Aug. 2013)
On section "Advance Cameras" Lumix DMC FZ200 is a top choice.
Note: Rating Test was done from 134 tested cameras.
Panasonic has revealed the DMC-FZ200 - a 24X superzoom with an impressive constant-F2.8 lens and high-resolution electronic viewfinder. That fast lens means that it should be easier to capture high-quality images at the full extent of the zoom, without having to use high ISO settings. It also has a 1.3m dot equivalent electronic viewfinder, as featured in the company's more expensive mirrorless cameras. It also has the ability to shoot at 12 frames per second and can capture 1080p video at 60fps or 720p at up to 120fps.
The camera's 25-600mmm equivalent lens features an improved version of the company's highest-grade Power OIS stabilization system and 'Nano Surface Coating' to minimize lens flare. We've prepared a hands-on preview of the FZ200, which looks at what these features mean in the real world.

The New LUMIX FZ200 Features High Speed Response and Shoots Full-HD Video
July 18, 2012 (Secaucus, NJ) – Panasonic today announced the LUMIX DMC-FZ200 which features a high-quality LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT 25mm ultra-wide angle lens with a 24x powerful optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 25-600mm) and achieves full range F2.8 aperture. The newest addition to the LUMIX FZ-series of digital cameras, the LUMIX FZ200 is the first digital compact camera*1 to offer full range F2.8 aperture at 600mm, making it possible to capture moving subjects clearly with fast shutter speed, even from a distance.
A newly developed 12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor and high performance image processing LSI Venus Engine provide the LUMIX FZ200 with high speed response, high sensitivity recording and superb image quality. Light Speed AF (auto focus) combines with the LUMIX FZ200's ability to capture high speed burst shooting at 12 fps (frames per second) in full resolution and a quick start-up time of approximately .95 seconds, so users never miss even the most fleeting shooting opportunities. Furthermore, High Speed Video enables users to record fast-moving subjects at 120 fps (NTSC/HD)*2 or 240 fps (NTSC/VGA)*2.
"Panasonic continues to strive to meet the photography demands of its consumers by providing unique features and advanced technology in all our LUMIX digital cameras," said Marc Sorkin, Senior Product Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Marketing Company of North America. "With the 24x Optical Zoom and full range F2.8 aperture, the FZ200 is a versatile, powerful camera that provides users with endless options to take creative and high-quality images and videos."
The LUMIX FZ200's powerful 24x optical zoom can be increased to 48x equivalent with the Intelligent Zoom function, and takes advantage of Intelligent Resolution technology to maintain picture quality. The camera's POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) provides improved correction accuracy to minimize blur, even when zoomed, and Active Mode effectively suppresses handshake vibration in both still picture and video recording. Plus, Panasonic's Nano Surface Coating technology minimizes light reflection at the entire zoom range (380nm-780nm) resulting in super clear picture with a dramatic reduction of ghost and flare.
A newly developed 0.2-inch EVF (Electronic View Finder) features a 1,312,000-dot equivalent high resolution, 100% field of view and minimum screen freeze. The LUMIX FZ200's body has been designed as a full-fledged shooting style digital compact camera with ultimate controllability. The side lever has been redesigned in the stroke and locating position, smoothing zoom functions. Focus can also be easily changed with this lever, allowing users to concentrate on shutter operation and get the perfect photographic moment.
The LUMIX FZ200's Creative Control mode features 14 filter options including the newly added Soft Focus*3, Dynamic Monochrome, Impressive Art, One Point Color, Cross Process, Low Key, Toy Effect and Star Filter*3 in addition to the conventional Expressive, Retro, High Key, Sepia, High Dynamic and Miniature Effect*4 modes. Photo Style is also available and allows users to create more artistic photographs with Standard, Vivid, Natural, Monochrome, Scenery, Portrait and Custom options. With iA (Intelligent Auto) Plus, users can take advantage of popular iA functions – POWER O.I.S. with Active Mode, AF Tracking, Intelligent D-range Control, Intelligent Scene Selector, Face Recognition, Intelligent ISO Control, Intelligent Handheld Night Shot, Intelligent HDR and Motion Deblur*5 – in addition to adjusting exposure compensation, white balance and defocusing background areas for more flexible shooting control. For advanced photography users, the LUMIX FZ200 offers manual control mode, allowing users to enjoy a more creative photography experience.
The LUMIX FZ200 is able to produce not only stunning photos but also stunning full-HD in 1,920x1,080 60p videos in AVCHD Progressive (MPEG-4) and MP4*6 formats. The powerful 24x optical zoom with 2-step zoom and POWER O.I.S. is available in video recording and high-quality Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator offers highly realistic, powerful sound for videos. The stereo zoom microphone features a zoom noise reduction system and an Auto Wind Cut function to reduce background noise from wind. Additionally, Active Mode encourages active video recording at wide angle and the popular iA mode allows users to easily create motion images by simple pointing and hitting the record button. Creative Video mode allows users to set the shutter speed and aperture manually to bring special effects to videos, shoot fast moving objects and shoot subjects at various distances.
Additional Features of the LUMIX FZ200 include:

A teenager is the third person arrested in a home invasion and rape that happened earlier this month in Wayne County.
Montrel Crawford of Goldsboro has been charged with first degree rape, first and second degree kidnapping, first degree burglary and larceny of a firearm.
Deputies say they got the call of the home invasion on March 8th around 11:00 p.m. They say 4 to 5 armed men knocked on the door of the home on Genoa Road and forced their way inside.

Carotid body denervation prevents the development of insulin resistance and hypertension induced by hypercaloric diets

Increased sympathetic activity is a well-known pathophysiological mechanism in insulin resistance (IR) and hypertension (HT). The carotid bodies (CB) are peripheral chemoreceptors that classically respond to hypoxia by increasing chemosensory activity in the carotid sinus nerve (CSN), causing hyperventilation and activation of the sympathoadrenal system. Besides its role in the control of ventilation, the CB has been proposed as a glucose sensor being implicated in the control of energy homeostasis. However, to date no studies have anticipated its role in the development of IR. Herein we propose that CB overstimulation is involved in the aetiology of IR and HT, core metabolic and hemodynamic disturbances of highly prevalent diseases like the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnoea. We demonstrated CB activity is increased in IR animal models and that CSN resection prevents CB-overactivation and diet-induced IR and HT. Moreover we showed that insulin triggers CB, highlighting a new role for hyperinsulinemia as a stimulus for CB-overactivation. We propose that CB is implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic and hemodynamic disturbances through sympathoadrenal overactivation and may represent a novel therapeutic target in these diseases.

With a degree in physics you can go on to graduate school or find a job in
- industry
- research
- teaching
Well-trained physics teachers are in high demand. To teach at the high school level, you can combine teacher education courses with a major in physics or various combinations of chemistry, physics, and other courses in the sciences. To teach in an elementary classroom, courses in chemistry and physics are very helpful.
Barry Viss, a 2005 graduate, uses his physics degree as a Traffic Light Technician in Kansas City, Mo. Viss studies how to best time traffic lights to minimize gas usage and traffic congestion. He notes that "through my physics education at Dordt, I learned more than just the facts, figures, and formulas, as important as they are. I developed a deep appreciation for the beauty that underlies God's creation. The skills, and more importantly, the attitudes fostered by Dordt's natural science faculty have and will continue to guide me in my career and life."

This is an outline of several files types that use multiple spheres and the common cards found within it. These threads are essentially an updated version of Harvests threads. These aim to make it easier for newer players to see what works well together and hopefully allow them to make their own exciting files. I'd like to thank The Circle - Especially Teru who helped make the outlines and provided some links. Prinzripper deserves a special mention for providing Spyclone. I'd also like to thank everyone who gave their support in doing this. Special Thanks once again to harvest4god who inspired these threads. I will try to keep these updated.
The Other Threads:
The Circle's List of File Types - Refess
The Circle's List of File Types - Lawtia
The Circle's List of File Types - Gowen
The Circle's List of File Types - Falkow
Lawtia / Falkow
Lawtia/Falkow Multisphere file that aims to disrupt enemy resources followed by field control. A combination of Lawtia's advantage (sp control) and falkow's advantages (Field control). The main unit is Urgrant which builds lawtia levels and provides SP control. Backed up by powerful mid-big lawtia units and grimoires, along with falkow's ultility makes this a formidable file to play against.
Key Cards:
Mage Knight Fencer / Urgrant *** The unit the file is named after, obviously included.
Wrath of the Sea Lord *** To remove a pesky Lv4 unit.
Return * To remove those pesky Lv3 units.
Cyclone Teach those level 2 rushes a lesson.
Other cards:
Beast Soldier / Belus **** excellent Mid-lawtia unit with a good start skill and decent damage, nearly a must have in any file that reaches lawtia 5.
New Magic Doll / Astaforse *** a pretty fast and tanky unit that gets a permanant attack boost each turn based on your lawtia level.
Deathmaker ***** Remove target unit, and kill another. What more could you want?
Merciless Death *** Remove target unit, good for getting rid of those pesky/big units.
Sweeping Tidalwave ** to gain sp advantage
Witch Queen / Catherina ***** For opening.
Elite Fencer of Regus ** Agi Control
Mermaid Wizardess / Faytis *** Field control
Exiled Military Aide ** For open
Example File:
Ruki's Urgrant Example
In depth Guides:
Smallfish's Urgrant Guide
This File concentrates on keeping the opponent off the field and iczer attacking with Crest spy as she does LP-3 when she iczer attacks. This file is known to win games in under 8 turns fairly often if played right.
Key Cards:
Crest Spy * Well obviously included as the file is made to take advantage of her trait.
Death's Embrace ** Aide in stopping the opponent in reviving units.
Return type Grimoires
SP generation soul skills.
Common Cards:
Shade * Activate SS and keep opponent low on sp
Magic Doll -Defective- * Activate SS
Owl Sage ** As soul skill to give falkow levels
Sorcerer Monk of Regus ** To kill units.
Stronghold of Chaos ** To Lower opponent sphere Levels
Exchange of Souls * keep opponent's SP low
Crest Greatsword Soldier * To kill stuff
Haste Assassin * To remove stuff
Crest Mindsoldier * To kill stuff
Slave of Chaos / Ebreenu Can be used to lower the level of an opponent to returnable levels
Example Files:
Don't got
PrinzRipper's Spyclone
Prinz vs Big Noze
Prinz vs EN
This file aims to lock down the opponent's file by draining sphere levels and engaging and/or killing the opponent's units. It relies on two cards: Keeper of Causality / Sumer, and Guide of Causality / Fellana to do this. Sumer and Fellana thankfully aide each other to do this and together can effectively take on 3-4 units while being fairly difficult to take care of during open and soul skill phases. This file is fairly high rarity and is very much "all your eggs in one basket."
Key Cards:
Keeper of Causality / Sumer **** - One of the two main cards. She'll provide the main form of damage (requires 0 lawtia) and helps keep your field alive by lowering the AGI and AT of enemy units. Can revive other cards which are both Lawtia and Falkow on start.
Guide of Causality / Fellana ****- The other of the two main cards. She does sphere drain and can engage an enemy unit of 0AGI or lower for until the end of next turn. Can also revive other cards which are both Lawtia and Falkow on start.
Common Cards:
Exiled Military Aide ** - early game unit that helps get required sphere levels to play Sumer and Fellana.
Moonlight Princess / Eskatia ***** - Drains Sp on start. Can provide another way of losing your own sphere levels for Sumer's Auto skill.
Prototype Form / Noze **** - Start can help you keep your own Lawtia levels down to kill opponent's units. Fairly good unit in her own right.
Cursed Runesword Fighter ** - Auto can help keep Lawtia levels down to keep Sumer killing opponent's cards.
Undine * - open skill AGI manipulation. Can also be used in combination with Fellana's auto skill to engage an enemy unit until the end of next turn.
Princess of the Key / Emana ***** - Powerful AGI manipulator with undine open skill as a start skill. Can also revive friendly units with action skill.
Dark Princess / Gaiessoul ***** - Open skill can remove a problematic unit and also set your Lawtia level to 0 for Sumer to deal damage.
Undead-style tank.
Return grimoires.

Lawtia / Gowen
Gowen Dolls
The idea of this file is to use Lawtia sphere draining abilities and Gowen's open damage cards with strong stand alone units like Lost Magic Doll / Esria. The soul skill line up usually uses SP drain soul skills like Gafc and Hellspawn / Zalzagul.
Key Cards:
Proxy of Soul / Animus *** - to generate Gowen levels
Common Cards:
Shade * - open
Salamander * - open damage (kill that Owl Sage/KP before it poops SP)
Crest Saboteur Knight * - same as Animus
Magic Doll -Exorcist- ** - mainly used because of the SP drain
Esria & Astaforse *** - use her open damage with Shavara or Augmented Doll/ EX Mercenary Girl, on the field a really strong unit with AGI and at least 40 AT if your gowen and lawtia levels are 4
Reborn Magic Doll / Astaforse *** - she snowballs AT and can double hit for 1 SP
Lost Magic Doll / Esria EX - open skill gives a nice buff to a friendly Magic Doll unit and she hits hard at AGI 4
Awakened Magic Doll / Esria ***** - triple Attack for 1 SP
Black Dragonfly / Francis EX - really strong unit with MaxHP hate and a great close skill
6th Heaven Devil / Shvara EX - his close skill sends units directly to grave
Mad Beast / Dandan *** - strong stand alone unit
Doll Master / Sumer ***** - if you are using Exorcist or any other non character Magic Doll, use her
Dark Princess / Gaiessoul **** - end game you can use her once you don't need anymore lawtia levels
EX: Chaos Form / Noze EX - Powerful late-ish unit as gowen dolls tend to get fairly high Lawtia levels. Powerful and difficult to kill with a corruption auto skill.
Stronghold of Chaos ** - alternative to Crest Saboteur Knight, doesn't trigger soul skills but reduces sphere levels
Death's Embrace ** - SP drain
Bitter Destiny ** - lawtia staple, use it on big units like Allind after you kill it
Ball of Flame * - open damage
Rapid Growth ** - SP gen
Soul Pact * - SP gen
Example Files:
Gowen Dolls
Refess / Falkow
Refess/Falkow Multisphere file that has a two major playstyles, a more aggressive version and a slower more defensive (and arguably makes better use of marduk) version. The aggressive version tends to use stardragon and deal lots of damage whereas the defensive version plans to outlast the opponent using tanky refess units to provide a shield for Marduk to gain SP.
Key Cards:
Mage Knight Lancer / Marduk *** Obviously included.
Unwanted Charity ** Helps avoid assassin SS and chance for SP gain and/or
The General's Order *** gives AT boost and helps avoid assassin SS
Other cards:
Star Dragon ** Used in the aggressive style of Marduk
True Holy Emperor / Retear ***** Revive on open, auto skill to bring cards back in from the cemetery and since you'll be 9 refess anyway, why not?
Veteran Folrart Paladin ** Super tank Lv5 unit.
5th Shrine Leader / Judie Good buffer with good open skill
Right-Hand Shield / Garfath **** Good open and helps makes your tanks tankier
Star Lord / Bastandorra *** Also called the 'spaceship', pretty tanky and does lots of damage without lowering sphere levels!
Archer Captain / Fistara **** Does damage based on refess level that is pinpoint.
The Impregnable / Rubens ***** Super tanky refess unit.
Return Grims
Judgement Hamer *** DEF ignoring damage grim
Like the Hand of God *** Instantly kills most units
Refugee Spear Master / Aria Grimlocks opponent is always good
One of the many ways to open.
Example Files:
I don't have any...
Marduk vs Big Red
Marduk vs Starmander
Refess / Gowen
Toro Warriors (Refess warriors / TJC)
Refess/Gowen Multisphere file using mainly refess warriors, specifically Toromea, who raises the attack and speed of a friendly refess warrior. This file can quickly cut down files such as Pixies and still has many ways to deal with mid-big files. Aims to Hit fast and Hard. More infomation in Khiruki's guide (linked below).
Key Cards:
Sword of the East / Toromea *** Key unit to the file
Folrart Dual-Wielding Soldier * Slaughters those rushes when combined with Toromea.
Other Cards:
Legendary Heroine / Catira EX Great for taking out big units, combos well with Justice, potentially immortal.
Unknown Warrior / Justice **** Gives perm attack buff, combos with Catira and can deal some nice damage herself.
Elite Folrart Dual Wielder * Combos with Toromea to use its action skill, fairly high base attack.
Folrart Berserker * Possible mid-late game unit with decent stats.
Amazon ** Lv3 gowen unit that buffs warriors
Like the Hand of God *** Instantly kills most units
The General's Order *** gives AT boost and helps avoid assassin SS
Folrart Flame Swordsman ** Helps open the file.
Miracle Fruit ** Helps units avoid returns.
The Fate of Esria ** as above but is free in terms of SP
EX: Light Magic Archer EX Powerful level 2 unit with a free start-phase lancer every other turn (unaided)
Salamander * To kill owl sages/activate soul skills/ finish off or put opponent units into killing range.
The pixies that can lock files could be put in for ultility

Gowen / Falkow
Mage Soldiers
This file plays fairly aggressively using the advantage of being immune to attack and high agi. This file can generate lots of SP with the use of Anttila and Ryu.
Key Cards:
Mage Knight Fighter / Ryu Does double attack essentially with slight debuffs. When used in a combo with Balmoa, he can possibly take out a Stardragon.
Elemental Soldier / Balmoa Provides attack immunity to friendly Mage Soldiers, essential to the file.
Common Cards:
Flash Pixy / Chamail Decent Lv2 unit that has good stats, possibly 4 agi too and buffs friendly mage soldier infront.
Forest Sorceress / Anttila *** Generates up 3 extra sp/turn with Ryu
Wizard Knight / Mizarria *** The small buffs by the other mage soldiers allow him to prove useful
Hunter / Rosa EX Buffs make her auto skill deal some extra damage, slows down opponent files.
Silver Fencer / Ascarat *** Returns Wizard Kingdom units back to the card file from the cemetery.
Elemental Burst Buffs friendly units for a turn and deals small amounts of damage, essentially 1SP when balmoa is on the field.
Falkow Pike *** Also known as Falkow Pockey, can deal LOTS of damage to a target column.
EX: Mermaid Soldier [Human] EX Level 2 unit with some AGI manipulation and possible AT stacking and possible double attacking.
Return Grims
Any other Gowen or Falkow Mage soldier.

Game Over
Thanks to shadowsketch for providing this.
A Game Over file is a file which uses the namesake card Game Over ***. The basic gameplan is to develop a better field on your side so the opponent has to compensate by increasing their field, making them extend more into the Game Over. While it will set units to 0 HP and SP to 0 on both sides, the key is to lessen the impact better than the opponent. There are two parts to it -- unit selection and timing.
What are some good units for it?
Units that are good for Game Over files are grimmune or have an ability that saves other units upon close. They are units that are going to either hang out on the field after a Game Over or help other units hang out. Some examples:
Solar Princess / Aliria ***** - Restores 10 HP to all your units post-Game Over.
Knight of Frailty / Etoile *** - Heals all your Solar Kingdom Units AND gives you SP for each unit refreshed this way.Undead King / Zugateroza EX - Just loses some MAX HP on close, but stays on the field, tanks.
Phoenix Chick * - Survives if it's in level 5 form, tanks.
3rd Emperor / Joachim EX - Grimmune, tanks, also can engage itself if you're expecting an assassin SS.
Hellspawn / Zalzagul ***** - Grimmune, SS-mune
In addition, you want to time your Game Over to put yourself in a better position than your opponent. Consider these signals to look out for if your considering a Game Over:
-Your opponent has no closed units
-You have no open units and some closed units
-You have some grimmune units or some recovery-on-close units and some closed units
-You have a few excess SP you can put into sphere levels for future units.
-Your opponent has units you don't like
What are some good grims?
Game Over *** - Namesake card
Recovery Powder ** - Gains SP, saves units from Salamander
Soul Pact ** - Gains SP, provides an ATK boost
Deathmaker ***** - Good post Game Over and for problem units
Merciless Death *** - Good post Game Over and for problem units
Example file:
[url==http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc384/olindgallet/GameOver-1.jpg]Game Over[/url]
Some mids/bigs with Game Over. Opening is 4 Ref > Emerald Buncle, Limier, Mediator, then depending on the matchup you go from there. Shadow Spirit gives some much-needed ranged attack, Fortune shuts down some key opposing units (Dio, EFrog, Undeads, Dilate, etc.), and Garfath gives some non-grim healing. Zangadylan is an optional finisher, mostly for in case of heavy grim bane.
Originally I had a 50-DMG SS in the second slot, but I switched to a 15xLVL SS for BK Rivera matchups.
Bad Matchups:
Solar Kingdom - Main problem cards are Aliria and Etoile, and to a lesser extent Safiria.
Bk Rivera - Ultimately it comes down to if you're able to take down BK early enough. It can be problems if your units are hitting stuff like Dilate or EX Merc Girl.
Heavy Grim Bane - Sometimes that Game Over's needed and without it you just get swarmed.
Fierte SS - Just since this file has high Sphere level requirements.
Other Versions:
I want to try a strictly Solar Kingdom version.
Example matchup:
vs. Mid Refess
EX: AZL (Mid-undeads)
This file basically uses EX: Ancient Zombie Lord (AZL) to force close skills of friendly undeads without actually making them lose a copy of themselves, with the exception of itself. The file also uses lots of cemetery retrieval to keep EX:AZL alive. It basically win's its games by playing a few units who are very difficult to take out and just outlast the opponent.
Key Cards:
EX: Ancient Zombie Lord (AZL) EX - Powerful close skill. Can force close skills and aide in keeping undeads alive longer.
Spirit Witch * - Open skill returns 2 undeads from the cemetery to the card file.
Common Cards:
Death Dragonknight / Langbart *** - AoE auto skill which gets stronger the more his close activates. He also stacks AT on close. Undead
Marching Death * - Tank and can buff friendly unit's MAX HP. Undead
Knight of 2nd Death * - Tank and semi-immune to MAX HP hate. Undead
Hell Smoke ** - One of the better lawtia tank units. Perm buffs a friendly unit's AT on close. Undead
Spirit Witch * - Open skill returns 2 undead cards from the cemetery to the file.
Lady of Conflict / Annarose EX - great cemetery retrieval card.
Solar Prince / Verlaat ***** - Soul skill retrieves 2 cards and gives you +1SP.
Over Soul * - Raises Refess level and returns newest card in cemetery to file.
Dark Confederation * - Makes your units immune to MAX HP change effects until the end of next turn.
Game Over *** - A good last ditch effort grimoire. Especially good as most of your units are undead so they will not actually close.
Other undeads.
SP gen. grimoires
Example File:
File Destruction
This type of file aims to... destroy the opponent's file before they play all of it. There are two main types, the lawtia/gowen type and the lawtia/falkow type. There are nearly no 'Key Cards' to this file as there are many ways to play it. The Gowen variant is easier to use and more stable then the falkow variant.
Common Cards:
Dance Macabre / Lelein *** Used to kill off last units the opponent may have.
Word of Dalos ** Combo with Lelein or Afel to kill of the last opponents and return copies of these units from your cemetery.
Vile Swordsman / Afel **** Can field wipe for 4 sp.
Refugee Citizens * Used to grimbane.
Magma Golem * Removes a card from opponents file on close.
Giant Gorilla ** Combos with magma golem to keep it alive.
Oversoul * Keep your removal units alive.
Turn to Dust * Removes a card from the opponents file.
Stronghold of Chaos ** Sometimes used during opening phases.
Soldier of Gaia ** Action skill removes a card.
Black Dragonfly / Francis EX Sometimes used to deal with bigger units.
Observer / Lria EX Used as SS.
Defender of Seasons / Sakon EX Could be used as a substitute soul skill.
Child of Chaos / Annarose EX Used in the Falkow Variant.
Chaos Absorption Very good file destruction grimoire, used in falkow variant.
Simulacrum of Annarose Can be used to remove cards in opponent's card file.
Lost Tome * Can be used to bane a grimoire.
Any other card with effects similar to these can be used.

Trust in Education
this wiki
Trust in Education is a nonprofit organization operated by Budd Mackenzie, that promotes village-to-village programs and builds schools in Afghanistan. In 2010 they also began to ship a few solar oven kits to the area. The kits were prefabricated by Jack Howell. Howell built five solar oven kits in his garage, and Mackenzie will supervise the set-up of the cookers and provide some training.
Ninety percent of the cooking in Afghanistan is done using fires that burn trees, whose wood is usually collected by women and children. The children can't attend school and the women are being exposed to smoky cooking fires, causing sever respiratory problems. If these cookers are successful, the plan is to build 120 cookers more of these cookers, sponsored by various organizations including the Boy Scouts and local high schools. The solar cookers are a good fit by providing more time for education for the children. Those wishing to help in their efforts should contact Mackenzie.
News and recent developments
- April 2013: Jack Howell reports that once the 100 volunteer-built solar ovens were delivered, a solar box cooker variation with a wooden base and 1" of rigid insulation, refugee families were bused to the Trust in Education office in Kabul, Afghanistan. They were given a four-hour lesson on how to use the solar ovens, and each family was given an oven to take back to their camp. Since this initial project, the new cookers are a CooKit variation, being produced at a local box manufacturing company in San Leandro, California. The reflective material used for the solar panel cookers is recycled Mylar coffee bean bags from Peet's coffee headquartered in Berkeley, California. They are cut open and cleaned by adults with developmental disabilities by the people from Futures Explored in Lafayette, CA. With the reflective interior surface facing out, they are then stapled to the cooker panels by the Afghans. We have delivered 2,000 cookers to Afghanistan and collected over 20,000 bags from Peet's (keeping many Mylar bags from the landfill.) The new cookers are working very well and Afghans love them.
- July 2011: Solar Cooking Expo at Northern Virginia Mosque Solar cooking in Islamic countries is on the rise, but its wide-spread acceptance as a significant way to reduce the damage caused by smoky cooking fires will need greater support from the international development community. Solar Cookers International (SCI) board member Patricia McArdle and Afzal Syed of the Dar al Noor Mosque congregation contributed to this goal by hosting a well-attended solar cooking demonstration at Syed's mosque in Manassas, Virginia on Saturday July 9. Solar Household Energy co-founder Louise Meyer and two SHE volunteers from Washington DC also participated in this event. A popular DC radio show interview with McArdle about her novel Farishta two days before the event, drew large crowds from around the northern Virginia/DC metro region. Visitors sampled a variety of traditional and modern foods (lentils, rice, eggs, spiced potatoes, mixed vegetables, dahl, popcorn, chai tea--and for dessert, chocolate, yellow, lemon and spice cakes) all of which were baked, boiled, fried and roasted in the many solar cooker models on display. McArdle also demonstrated a StoveTec rocket stove and a retained-heat cooking basket in her integrated cooking method display. Members of the Dar al Noor Mosque community and other Muslim visitors told McArdle that solar cooking technology would be an extremely useful addition to the cooking devices currently used by people in their sun-drenched, fuel-starved home countries, including Pakistan, Morocco, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Egypt, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and by Darfur refugees in Chad. The event was initially proposed by Mr. Syed, a member of the Dar al Noor community, who attended a January 2011 solar cooking demonstration at the UN in New York, organized by SCI board member AJ Lederman and hosted by SCI Executive Director AmyJo Mattheis. Soon after seeing that exhibit, Mr. Syed traveled to his home country with several Cookits, which he demonstrated to amazed friends and neighbors in Pakistan. Mr. Syed and his family are convinced that the widespread introduction of solar cooking technology in Pakistan could dramatically reduce the quantities of firewood, charcoal and LPG that are currently consumed at great expense and with serious environmental costs. The many visitors attending the Dar al Noor Mosque solar cooker exhibit agreed, as does McArdle, who has served for the past six months as a solar cooking expert on the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves Fuel and Technology working group. McArdle is continuing with her efforts to convince the GACC and the U.S. Department of Energy to give as much support to R&D for solar thermal cooking technology as they are currently devoting to the improvement of wood burning fuel efficient stoves ($12.5 million). Dar al Noor mosque leaders said they would like to host another solar cooking demonstration next year. Under clear blue skies and with large enthusiastic crowds attending the event, Mr. Syed and the solar cooking team were convinced that they had accomplished their goal of spreading the word about solar cooking to a whole new audience.
- January 2011: Ninety-five solar box ovens have been assembled and painted. The short term goal is to deliver them to refugee camps in Afghanistan and convince as many Afghan families as possible to use them whenever possible. In the long term, we hope to find a way for Afghans to build and sell solar ovens themselves. More information...
- January 2011: A gift from America
- September 2010: An initial shipment of five solar cookers have been sent to Afghanistan.
- September 2010: Sun Devotee Brings Solar Back

Is my iEQ45 defective?
Posted 07 November 2012 - 08:32 PM
Unfortunately, from the moment I first plugged it in and started testing it, my experience with this mount hasn't lived up to any of the glowing reviews and comments that I've read about it on this forum and elsewhere. After struggling for weeks to understand and correct several problems that I was having with the mount and seeking advice from both iOptron support and High Point, I eventually returned it to iOptron for repairs. They claimed to have repaired the mount, but after arriving back at my house, it still exhibits all the same problems it had before I sent it in for repairs.
So, I'm wondering, do I have a defective mount which I should insist iOptron replace, or are my expectations for this mount simply way too high? I hope other iEQ45 owners reading this could offer some advice. Here are the problems that I'm seeing:
1. The mount is loud while tracking. Before repairs it made a constant grinding noise that I could hear from 50 feet away. Now it makes an off-on croaking noise that is almost just as loud (I'll post a sound clip if I can figure out how). I wasn't expecting this at all. My old Celestron mount is so quiet that you have to put your ear up to the drive housing to hear any sound.
2. The electronic balancing does not work. I have about 15 pounds of equipment on the scope (a C8 tube, finder scope, 2" diagonal, and eyepiece) and both counterweights on the shaft. After running multiple times through the Dec and RA balancing commands and getting <Balance OK!> messages for both, the resulting balance (after releasing the clutches and checking manually) is very front-end heavy on the Dec axis and counter-weight heavy on the RA axis.
3. The go-to performance degrades after 2-star alignment. After leveling the mount, balancing it manually, and performing a careful polar alignment, the mount's go-to performance is decent after 1-star alignment, with most objects somewhat near the center of an 8x50 finder scope. But after a 2-star alignment (following the procedure in the manual exactly), the go-to performance significantly degrades, often failing to place an object anywhere within the finder scope's field of view. In fact, the hand controller reports that the mount is not even slewing to the target coordinates, sometimes slewing instead to a point 30 or more RA-minutes away. I've repeated this many times, turning the mount on and off in between, and I've never gotten useful go-to performance after a 2-star alignment.
4. The tracking performance is poor. Before sending it in for repairs, I was not able to take unguided exposures (I don't have a guide scope yet) for much beyond 10 seconds without stars trailing on over half the images. This was after very careful leveling, balancing, and polar alignment. I know that, with a 2000mm focal length, a C8 is a very tough test, but the iEQ45 is not performing any better than my Celestron stock mount from 1985. After the mount returned from repairs, I checked the tracking ability by centering a star in a 9mm eyepiece (222X) with an illuminated bullseye reticle. I was shocked as I could clearly see the star moving in the RA direction, cross completely out of the bullseye, stop for a while, and then move back in the other direction. I know this isn't very quantitative, but again, my original C8 mount performed much better when I was using the bullseye reticle for piggyback tracking.
Does any of this seem normal, or do I have a lemon? Any advice or comments for this first-time poster would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Posted 07 November 2012 - 10:03 PM
Sound - mine is nearly silent when tracking.
Electronic balancing - *usually* works fine, but occasionally does not.
Goto and tracking work much better for me than you describe. Something does not seem right.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 11:28 PM
As for the balancing...there will be a difference between manual balance and electronic balance (or so I was told by the iOptron guys, who've been just great for me) - the electronic balance takes into account certain mount tendencies, though, with a new scope or configuration, I do "eyeball" it/manually balance first and get pretty close before doing the electronic thang (though, with my ES 152 achro I can hit the RA electronic balance time after time by setting it to a piece of tape I have marked out, but the DEC is always finicky at that weight and moment arm).
I believe the last firmware for the mount has a problem with the two-star alignment. I upgraded the firmware, then was told to wait before using the two-star. Waiting for a fix.
Still, sounds like something might be wrong somewhere.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 11:31 PM
I always do a one star align and never use a finderscope as it always puts the object in the fov of my ep or on the camera chip.Note ..I use a 750 mm fl scope.
As for tracking I autoguide mine and at 750 mm fl it will give acceptable star shapes most of the time for a 3 min exposure...but for my mount I would not want to go more then 750 mm fl which is 1.75 arc/secs per pixel .
Posted 08 November 2012 - 07:47 AM
What you report (periodic error at 222X) seems reasonable. Perhaps your 1985 Celestron had a Byers gear? that would make it much better than the iEQ45 in the periodic error department..
Posted 08 November 2012 - 12:07 PM
1. My mount is near silent when tracking.
2. Electronic did work for me. Now the DEC has stopped working but thankfully I bought the one with the modified clutch.
3. Never really used the 2 star alignment. I just sync to a star in the area I am imaging. You might have run away in RA.
4. These won't track like high end mounts but you can certainly try adjusting the worm to make sure it is aligned and meshed well with the gear to optimize performance. iOptron has a procedure to do this. You might ask them for it. It might help with the noise to.

The tracking noise is the most worrisome to me of the problems I listed. Along with being very unpleasant on an otherwise peaceful night of observing, I suspect it may be contributing to the wild tracking fluctuations and the electronic balancing problems, and it seems like a precursor to even more serious failures.
Here's a link where you can download and listen to a sound clip of the tracking noise:
You shouldn't have to change your speaker volume much to approximate what I'm hearing from the mount. In real-life I can hear the "croaking" from 50 feet away. Not normal, right?
Thanks again for your help.

Definitely not right, downright annoying. My mount is virtually silent when tracking in sidereal rate...if I put my ear a couple inches from the mount, you can hear it working.
I would request a replacement and let iOptron sort out the returned mount. Imho.
Posted 08 November 2012 - 01:30 PM
If you remove the load, does it still sound like that?
Posted 08 November 2012 - 01:51 PM
Wow! That is definitely not right! I can't believe they sent it back to you like that.
If you remove the load, does it still sound like that?
Dan, I'm baffled by iOptron's behavior too. It's remarkably easy to duplicate this problem with the tracking noise. I don't know why they would consider this properly repaired.
The noise is the same with or without a load. However, I discovered that if I apply some torque to the CW bar (either by pressing on it or significantly shifting the weights towards the end of the bar when the bar is near horizontal), then the sound will go away and it operates quietly. But not a very practical solution or, I assume, healthy for the life of the mount.

What power unit are you using? The one I work with, while low consumption, still needs a good steady supply, 14V @ 4A works fine and is much quieter than the old 12V @2A PSU.
I'm using the 12V/2A AC power adapter that came with the mount. I don't think I have another supply to try, but I'll rummage through my various boxes of spare electronics for one anyway. Thanks for the suggestion!

I am also experiencing significant issues with a new iEQ45 mount, very similar to the two previous posters with regards to poor GOTO performance. One star is kind of close (~1 degree) while the 2 and 3 star aren't even close. Also, my hand controller now goes dark and becomes non functional during 50% of my Align attempts. I have to unplug it and plug back in, which then reboots the mount.
In my recent emails with iOptron Support, they told me exactly what psandelle mentioned in his post. They have just confirmed a bug in the firmware for the 2-star alignment. They are recommending using the 1-star alignment until they can release a firmware fix.
I'm not having any problems with the hand controller, though. The behavior you report is definitely not right.
And welcome back to the hobby!

I have several issues with the hand controller (8406) either not booting ,or locking up requiring a reboot. I believe some of my hand controller problems were traceable to the micro sd card being not connected properly. It now seems to be corrected and I also have bought a couple of spares as well.
Now it tends to lock up and require a reboot when in the alignment menu displaying the polar alignment clock??
So I have problems I also had problems with my CG-5 as well so I am used to it.
I however have no complaints about it's goto accuracy and I always do a one star alignment.

I believe some of my hand controller problems were traceable to the micro sd card being not connected properly
What micro sd card is that? Is there one inside the handset?
Posted 21 November 2012 - 12:09 AM
It is a 2 GB card available from Amazon and at a reasonable price too. You can then download the firmware from the Ioptron site and have a new card ready to go.Using your computer card reader.
The reason I know all this is of course Ioptron support information.

I suspect, based on my experience, you still have an issue related to the SD card. I would have iOptron replace the hand controller as it might be the SD card holder that is not fully holding the card in place and not the card itself.

We had the ieq45 out again last week for 12/14 year old students to use as part of their Astronomy GCSE. They love it, after a quick 10 minute demo of how to polar align and star align they were seeking their own targets. The built in gps is a boon.
With a careful polar align this particular mount has ~25" PE but the PEC reduces that to ~15". I suspect lapping the worm could improve that considerably.

Other than that I'm Very happy with my iEQ45 mount.

Payments and Deadlines
Golden Gate seeks to provide a quality education at the most reasonable cost possible. Golden Gate is a private, non-profit Southern Baptist institution that relies upon the generosity of churches, alumni, friends and the Southern Baptist Convention. We gratefully acknowledge their partnership in this ministry that enables the seminary to keep the cost to our students at an affordable level. Each student benefits from these partnerships; however, each student also shares in this financial stewardship.
Payment for tuition and fees is due for each semester in full on or before the final day of registration. Approved documentation for any situation that would lead to a balance due after the final day of registration must be on file in the Business Office.
Deadlines for payment can be found in the
Academic Calendar
Students are solely responsible for their own account. Third party payments, church sponsorship or financial aid awards do not relieve students from this responsibility. Students who have not paid for or made arrangements for payment by the deadline will be administratively dropped and will not be able to attend classes.
Payment Options
Visit the Business Office
- Our window is open Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Payment can be made at the window using cash, check, VISA or MasterCard. If you happen to come after hours, there is an Accounts Receivable drop slot outside the Business Office where you may leave all payments. These payments will be receipted the next business day.
Call the Business Office
- We can take your credit card information over the phone and receipt your payment during normal business hours. You may reach us at (415) 380-1360.
Mail Payment

Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, 201 Seminary Drive-Box 956, Mill Valley, CA 94941
Pay Online
- By accessing
you can make a payment by credit card to your account. You will need your student ID number and your PIN.
Policies and Procedures
Tuition Payments:
Student accounts with an outstanding past due balance will be placed on Business Office hold and the student will not be able to pre-register until the obligation is paid in full. Students who have not finalized their registration with full payment or approved deferment by the last day to register will have all registered courses dropped. This is referred to as an administrative drop.
A credit balance on a students' account, in most cases, indicates that the student is entitled to a refund. A student may request a refund on a
check request form
or in writing such as through email. The Business Office will review the account for any restrictions by a third party or scholarship and will apply the refund to the credit card used for payment or with a check from the seminary. The seminary does encourage students to carry over credit balances to the next semester.
As a last resort a delinquent student account may be subject to collection procedures. Every effort will be made by the Business Office to contact the student and provide opportunity to clear the obligation. If a student's account is turned over to a collection agency, the student must then make payments to that agency.

| Oak
(オーキド Ōkido)
|Pallet Town
|Blue Oak (grandson), Daisy Oak (granddaughter)
|Elm, Birch, Rowan, Juniper
|Professor, former Trainer, former Champion
|First Appearance:
|Chapter 002: VS Bulbasaur
Professor Oak (Japanese: オーキド博士 Dr. Ōkido) is a support character in Pokemon Adventures. He has appeared in the Red, Green & Blue, Gold, Silver & Crystal, FireRed & LeafGreen, and Emerald arcs. He is the creator of the Pokedex and appears to act as the handler to the Pokédex owners.
Professor Oak is based on an NPC of the exact same name, as such, he sports the same outfit. He wears a red, short-sleeved polo shirt, brown pants, black shoes, and a lab coat.
Red, Green, & Blue arc
Oak makes his debut as he enters his lab and a kid dressed in red is already there, rummaging through his stuff. He shouts at him calling him a thief. The surprised boy, as he tries to explain himself, accidentally releases all of the Pokémon in his lab. Oak then demands that the boy re-capture all of the Pokémon he let loose. Though he did as ordered, some of the Pokémon escaped the lab. The boy introduced himself as Red and Oak introduced himself back. Though still untrusting of Red, Oak followed him as they recaptured all the Pokémon eventually winding up in Viridian City. The last Pokémon they had to find was a Bulbasaur, that ran into the city's abandoned gym. They entered behind it. Oak tried to calm the Bulbasaur down only to get Tackled. Red tried to calm it down and with better results. Oak noticed how the Bulbasaur warmed up to him. Suddenly, he and Red were attacked by a wild Machoke. Oak then passed out. He awoke after Red and Bulbasaur defeated Machoke with Solarbeam. He asked how he knew about Solarbeam and Red replied that he just thought that plant (the bulb) would need sunlight. Oak then heard Red out about why he went to his lab. Oak then explained that he would need to find his own strength. He then gave Red a Pokédex and Bulbasaur then parted ways.
He later appears in Viridian Forest observing Red and his grandson, Blue beginning their rivalry. He was the one who revealed to Red the existence of Team Rocket. After Red's Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur, Oak tells Red that someone stole a Squirtle from his lab.
He was later captured by Team Rocket in order to complete the Mewtwo experiment after their top scientist, Blaine had defected. After Adventures}} was defeated by Red and Blue, they rescued Oak from captivity and helped him to escape.
During the Pokemon League, Professor Oak entered the tournament under the alias 'Dr. O'. After going up into the semi-finals, he was matched up against Green. He eventually gains the upper hand during the match due to his experience as a trainer and taking advantage of Green's ornithophobia. After Green is defeated in battle, Oak reveals that he knew Green stole the Squirtle from his lab years after she was kidnapped by a bird Pokemon and a mysterious man. He forgives Green for stealing the Squirtle and gives her a Pokedex. Professor Oak forfeits the tournament for Red and Blue to settle their rivalry. His forfeit also meant that Green is pushed into third place of the tournament.
