Our Double Gauss lenses provide high-performance, compact size and exceptional value. Their expanded performance yields image resolution greater than 100 lp/mm. Use of spacers enables a wider range of working distance and field of view combinations, however, focal length tolerances will cause variations in working distance and magnification.
The Focusing Double Gauss lenses, although similar in function, exceed the performance of typically available fixed focal length lenses. The focus ring and manual iris can lock in place with the included thumbscrews. Set screws are also included to facilitate a low profile integration in machine vision applications. Mechanical design also allows the focusing movement to be motorized by the user.
Typical applications include machine vision, assembly-line integration, measurement/image analysis.
The Double Gauss lenses have a standard C-Mount and for most applications, the camera-lens combination can be attached to workstations using the ¼-20 mount provided on the camera. Industrial Boom Stands are recommended for building vibration-free workstations.
Ring light guides designed specifically for the Double Gauss Lenses are available separately. Other illumination options, depending on the object under inspection, are the hybrid light guides and diffuse axial illuminators. Strobed and continuous LED lighting options are also available.
Prescription data is available for authorized optical designers who wish to use these lenses on an OEM basis. Authorization can be obtained by submitting our Request for Prescription Form.

Is there any evidence, stated by Blizzard or others, that the cooldown of Spirit Vessel is reduced whenever Grave Injustice is triggered?
No, Spirit Vessel is not affected by the cooldown reduction of Grave Injustice.Which is a little counter intuitive, as the text on Grave Injustice would indicate that all abilities have their cooldowns reduced: Fundamentally though, the cheat-death effect of Spirit Vessel is more of a proc than a cooldown. This is backed up in the many build discussions around the use of these abilities together, including this quote: While Grave Injustice does not reduce the cooldown for the cheat-death proc, it will stack with the cooldown reduction for abilities such as Spirit Walk. | |||||||||||||

Olympus E-PM2
At the Precision Camera mini vendor fair, I finally got my hands on the newest Olympus Pens, the E-PL5 and the E-PM2. I gave a scathing review of Canon's EOS M, but the Olympus Cameras worked well as expected. However, there was a surprise that I'll talk about later. Both cameras were lightning fast including the focusing and the frames per second -- such a big contrast from the plodding EOS M.

I was brainstorming out an idea for a SnK panel. Something that was interactive, while informational and rewarding.
So with help I have started planning out a Choose Your Own Adventure/Trivia style game panel.
Everyone attending can be a part of the game, unless they choose not to. Participants will be put into 3 groups. 10 will be apart of the Military Police, then the rest will be divided between the Scouting Legion (Survey Corps) and the Garrison.
The point of this is for Humanity to survive, to survive all the questions must be answered before the time limit is up. If answered correctly the person lives, if answered wrong or they give up they die and are out.
The way it is decided for who answers is there will be a spinner with 3 colors. Red (Garrison), Green (Police) and Blue (Scouting). There will be three hats of like colors full of numbers. A number will be pulled from the hat of matching color and the person with the matching color/number combo will be the one to stand up and answer the question the best they can. If they get it right they live and their number goes back in the hat. If they get it wrong, or pass, they are counted dead and their number is left out.
There is a 4th hat full of a set number of questions with four levels of difficulties. Training level is worth 1 pt. Garrison is worth 2pt. Scouting is worth 3pt. and Guard is worth 4pt.
If all the questions are answered in the time limit then Humanity wins. If not then humanity is dead. People left living if humanity wins are survivors, and then the people with the top 3 points are overall winners (dead or alive). Humanity's Strongest (1st), Humanity's Hope (2nd) and Worth 100 Soldiers (3rd). There will be prizes for the winners. Candy bars for survivors and a something small for participants.

Re: Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan Adventure and TriviaThis is brilliant.
Current IDEAS for 2014 AZ:
D.Gray Man: Lavi(?) Mushishi: Ginko(?) Final Fantasy 7: Zack Fair(?)
Re: Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan Adventure and TriviaThere is a slight change to how people will be able to participate, depending on how many show up and want to participate.
There will still only be 10 in the Military Police, and then 40 or so people will be split between the Garrison and the Legion. This is because there is a set number of questions, and it won't be possible for everyone to answer. Also so it will be quicker to get the branches set up and I currently only have one friend helping me out so it will be easier for us. There maybe be more changes in the future, and I shall mention them as they happen, also if the panel gets approved i shall edit the first post with all the rules and how things will be done. So for now, if you are interested in participating please work on your trivia. Some questions will be quick and easy, and some will be pretty hard and detailed as well with a chance for bonus points!!!

It's Here!!!
It arrived yesterday afternoon via UPS....and I didn't even KNOW it! I must have been in the basement and didn't hear the doorbell..because when Dave came home from work he said "Do you know there are 12 cases in the garage? I think your books are here?"
So...today is the day! I've been to the post office where I received about 11 different bins. I have to separate all the mail by zip code into said different bins. This is a lot different than it was last time, but postal proceedures have changed. And I live in a one stop light town with a one window postoffice with ONE postal employee! I can't overload her, and I promised not to....
I'm home for 2 weeks......and hope to have all the pre-orders caught up before I head to Alabama on the 3rd of Feb! Last time I sat in the dining room chair for hours and days trying to get all sent out IMMEDIATELY...and my back paid for it. Today...I'll do a couple hours in the morning....go do something else, come back maybe do some more tonight, but I'm going to be kind to my body.
Saturday is my birthday, and I have to tell you, holding this 2nd book in my hands is the best birthday present I could get!
37 comments:
Do not over stress yourself!!! We have no idea how long this book will take to get to us, and we honestly don't want you to end up with a sore back or huring in anyway!!!! It will be in the mail, when it's in the mail - so I am very glad you are going to ease into sending out this baby of yours!!!
I am so excited for you!!! this is a wounderful gift - and it's your birthday too!!!
Saw your colum in the 'Quiltmaker'!!! Oh Bonnie!!! this is so wounderful to watch and see all your dreams come true!!! I will be watching the post office - I love getting gifts!!! (even if I do pay for them myself!!!!)How fortunate that I am reading this on Saturday so I can wish you a Happy Birthday!!!
Congratulations on the second book. A good friend gifted me a copy of the first one and I started a subscription to Quiltmaker just so I would catch your column this year so I know I'll be purchasing the new book as well.
With a Crumb quilt that should be finished this year and strips accumulating for a Scrappy Bargello, I thank you for keeping all the scrappy goodness coming!!!!

State Tax Revenues Rise to Pre-Recession Levels, but Local Governments See Decline A steady increase in personal income and sales taxes has helped state tax revenue in most states to surpass previous peak levels seen at the start of the recession. All regions of the country saw gains in the fourth quarter of 2011, with the exception of the Far West. The Plains had the largest gain, at 12.5 percent, followed by the Great Lakes states at 8.9 percent. However, tax collections for local governments are not faring as well mostly due to the lagged impact of falling housing prices on property tax collections. Findings are from a recent Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government report that looks at the impact of taxes on state revenue and highlights trends affecting state revenue changes.
The report finds that state tax collections have risen steadily with eight straight quarter increases. In the fourth quarter of 2011, total state tax revenue rose by 3.6 percent compared to a year ago and the income tax and sales tax revenues increased by 4.2 and 2.4 percent, respectively. Only seven states reported declines in total tax revenue during the fourth quarter of 2011 — Arizona, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Vermont. Twelve states reported double-digit increases during the same time period. Revenue gains were especially strong in Alaska and North Dakota, which the report attributes to booming oil and natural gas industries.
Gains in personal income taxes were greatest in the Southwest region and in the Great Lakes region, which is mostly due to a legislated tax increase in Illinois, the report finds. Thirty-eight states reported growth for the fourth quarter of 2011. Connecticut, a state that also enacted tax increases, reported a 22.9 percent gain in personal income tax revenue. When Illinois and Connecticut are excluded, personal income tax collections for the nation grew by only 1.3 percent.
Although sales tax collections were higher in fourth quarter 2011 than the same time last year, collections were still down by 3.2 percent from the same period of 2007. The Plains and New England regions reported the largest increases in sales tax collections at 10.6 and 8.4 percent. Thirty-eight of the 45 states with broad-based sales taxes reported growth in collections for the fourth quarter of 2011 and four states reported double-digit gains. Declines were reported in six states including Arizona, California and North Carolina.
Local tax collections, which rely heavily on property taxes, are steadily declining because of the lagged impact of falling housing prices, the report finds. Over the last four quarters, the real, year-over-year decline in local taxes averaged 1 percent. The report points to a growing divide between state and local revenue trends. While state revenues have been recovering for several quarters in real terms, local revenues have been declining in real value. If current trends continue, services funded by local governments, such as education and public safety, are likely to be under severe fiscal pressures, the report warns.
The state revenue report is available at: http://www.rockinst.org/pdf/government_finance/state_revenue_report/2012-04-19-SRR_87.pdf.

Commission Calls for Redesign of U.S. Community College System U.S. community colleges are in dire need of an overhaul, according to a report issued by the 21st Century Commission on the Future of Community Colleges. Currently, fewer than half (46 percent) of all student who enter community college with the goal of earning a degree or certificate achieve that goal. About 60 percent of students entering community college after high school must take developmental education classes to prepare for college-level work. Also, community college students are frequently unable to make smooth transitions into four-year institutions or the job market after graduation. The commission calls for a redesign of the system that would focus efforts on local employment needs, emphasize transparency and accountability and offer coherent pathways for students.
The commission was convened by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) last summer, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Kresge Foundation, ACT and the Education Testing Service. After a nationwide listening tour and finding broad consensus on the urgent need for reform, the commission assembled the report to sketch a framework for the reinvention of the system.
The report offers seven recommendations to redesign, reinvent and reset the community college system as a more vibrant resource for students and communities. Recommendations include:
AACC also proposes the creation of a 21st Century Center that would coordinate the implementation of these recommendation and act as a repository for promising practices.

Executives Want Education Policy Interventions to Help U.S. Competitiveness Only 11 percent of business executives believe the U.S. educational system prepares workers for today's economy, according to a recent survey by ConvergeUS, Preparing America's 21st Century Workforce: the Business Sector Weighs in on Educational Gaps & Common Core State Standards. ConvergeUS surveyed almost 300 business executives on their attitudes regarding the current state of the U.S. workforce. The most significant trend was the overall lack of confidence by business executives in the U.S. education system; approximately 33 percent of business executive believe that the U.S. does a poor job of preparing workers.
Educational policy changes were most often cited by respondents (66 percent) as necessary to make the U.S. more competitive in the world economy. Other areas important in need of policy changes to increase competitiveness include investments in research and development (56 percent of respondents) and corporate tax reform (54 percent). According to respondents, three objectives standout as the most important to a high school education:
Respondents also were asked in what areas can recent college graduates improve upon to be more successful in the global workforce:
The survey also assessed respondents' awareness of Common Core State Standards (CCSS) initiative to establish a national framework that will prepare students for college and the workforce. Only 18 percent were very familiar with it. In comparison, 46 percent of respondents were not familiar with them.
Talent Will Define Future of Manufacturing, Study Finds Talented human capital is singled out as the most critical resource differentiating the prosperity of countries and companies in the manufacturing sector, in a new report from the World Economic Forum. Even as unemployment remains high across the globe, about 10 million jobs cannot be filled because of a growing skills gap. Experts say the problem is likely to worsen as more skilled workers retire. The report highlights key trends that will define manufacturing competition over the next 20 years.
A 2011 survey by Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute found that 67 percent of U.S.-based manufacturers are facing a moderate to severe shortage of available, qualified workers and more than half expect the shortage to grow in the next five years. In fact, about 5 percent or around 600,000 manufacturing jobs remain unfilled in the U.S.. Exacerbating the problem is an ageing workforce, especially in emerging countries. In China, 28 percent of the population will pass age 65 by 2040. The retirement trend is worldwide and is expected to sustain for the next 10 years, according to the report.
So what is being done and what can be done to remedy the talent shortage? The authors points to recent efforts in China and India to reduce brain drain and develop local talent. China implemented a series of incentives such as granting special privileges to graduates from foreign universities, offering special promotions to high-salaried positions, and facilitating visa documents for domestic and international travel. In India, the government has engaged private industry and mobilized a new organization called the National Skill Development Corporation to identify and fund vocational education businesses. Efforts in other nations, including the U.S., include collaboration among corporations, academia and private organizations such as customized education and training in high-schools and community colleges.
Some of the other key differentiators identified in the report include the ability to innovate, increased competition between nations to attract foreign direct investment, growing materials resource competition, and the infrastructure to enable manufacturing to flourish. Additionally, clean energy strategies and effective energy policies will be top priorities for manufacturers and policymakers, the report concludes.
The Future of Manufacturing: Opportunities to Drive Economic Growth is available at: http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_MOB_FutureManufacturing_Report_2012.pdf.
Around the World in TBED Innovation quickly is becoming a key concept for the world's economies. Increasingly nations are turning their economic development efforts towards building 21st century economies that are cleaner, more efficient and built on collaboration, both domestically and internationally. The European Union, New Zealand, South Korea and the United Kingdom have announced new initiatives that target increasing their overall competiveness not simply in the short-term, but long-term.
United Kingdom United Kingdom (UK) launched a contest to support up to two pilot wave energy projects in hopes to scale up the clean technologies in the country. Companies and organizations across the country will be able to bid for a share of the £20 million (approximately $32.2 million) prize to establish one of the two pre-commercial projects. Currently, marine power has the potential to provide up to 20% of current electricity demand in the UK, as well as support thousands of jobs. Read the press release...
The UK also has the potential to become a world-leader in smart grid technologies and the development of intelligent networks that would revolutionize the way power is generated and used, according to a report from Ernst and Young, Smart Grid: A Race Worth Winning. The report estimates that additional investment of £23 billion (approximately $37 billion) will be needed, but that this will deliver benefits of up to £19 billion (approximately $31 billion), creating close to 10,000 high-paying jobs and establish a £5 billion (approximately $8 billion) export market. Read the report...
New Zealand New Zealand announced the creation of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). Effective July 1, the new ministry will fuse together four existing government entities and assume their existing functions. MBIE will play a central role in shaping and delivering a strong national economy that focus on innovation. New Zealand's Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce expects businesses to see the Government moving faster and in a more coordinated way to tackle the issues that matter to business. The consolidation also will save the country up to $11 million per year. Read the press release...
European Union & South Korea The European Union (EU) and South Korea announced a range of initiatives to strengthen research cooperation including joint initiatives in energy, industrial technologies, information technology and nanotechnology research, according to an article in University World News. The two sides also will cooperate on assessments of nanotechnology safety standards and the development of test beds on smart grids able to power electric vehicles. Other initiatives include the establishment of joint EU-South Korean workshops in specific research fields and exchange programs for both students and researchers. Read the article...

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CRASH? The laws of physics say that an object in motion will stay in motion, with the same speed and direction, unless it is acted upon by an outside force. So if you are traveling at 60 MPH and your car hits a solid wall and comes to an immediate stop, your body will continue going at 60 MPH until it is stopped by, say, a seatbelt, airbag, or, at worst, a windshield. If the car has a rigid body, the rapid deceleration caused by the impact will produce injuries and fatalities. Because the stopping time is only a split second, the force on the passengers is very high.
WHY IS A NEW CRASH TEST DUMMY NECESSARY? Children from age four to eight often no longer use booster seats, but are many times more likely to sustain abdominal injuries than younger children. Seat belts are not designed for such small frames, and often rest too high, on the abdomen as opposed to along the hips. The new dummies are designed to represent the average six year old, and include an insert that mimics the hip shape of children, allowing researchers to perform experiments to improve seat belt design.
The American Industrial Hygiene Association, the American Physical Society, the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., and the Materials Research Society contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-- Walls lined with history at 57 Heaven were burned to a crisp in a fire on Saturday, but owner Darrel Leake says he feels fortunate. Not a single collectors' item was damaged. From Joey Dee of the Peppermint Twist's autograph to an antique poster of Elvis Presley.
"We got a lot of antiques, a lot of collectibles, a Coke machine and pictures just a lot of different stuff. We were fortunate none of it got affected by the fire," said Leake.
The atrium roof was burned off, but the fire was contained quickly.
57 Heaven has been a nightlife staple in Jacksonville for 27 years, and the owner says he plans on reopening, and have at least 27 more successful years.
Leake hopes to reopen in about two months.

When Guillermo del Toro is given the reins of "The Simpsons" opening credits -- and especially for the Halloween episode -- you know the results are going to be pretty magical.
For this Sunday's "Treehouse of Horror XXIV," del Toro is using nearly every horror reference in the book in a ghoulish couch gag, one that reinvents "The Simpsons'" opening credits.
As del Toro told Entertainment Weekly, "'The Simpsons' titles are so iconic and yet they've never been riffed in this vein. I really wanted to land the connections between the
The "Treehouse of Horror XXIV" will, as with editions past, be made up of three frightful stories. In one, Homer wanders about Springfield causing terror, and in another, Bart gets beheaded in a kite accident and his noggin gets reattached to Lisa's body.
The episode airs on Fox on Sunday, October 6 at 8 p.m. ET.

Eliminate ALL Your Cash Flow Needs On Your Very Next Deal, Using The Exact Same Strategies That Now Produce A Measly $100 A Month Or Less. Same Bullets, New Target. And No Competition! Read On...
It's time to move up to the next level. Where cash flow is not a problem. Where competition is almost non-existent. Where one or two deals is all you need to be Financially Free. That is the goal, isn't it?
But to get there, something needs to change. It's time to work smarter, not harder.
One and Done
Your time is precious. But if Jason can show you how to cover all of your cash flow needs with one single deal, which can then be duplicated over and over again to build incredible cash flow, would you be willing to donate a Saturday of your time to hear about it? Would that be worth your time? If so...
Mark your calendar for Saturday, August 11, from 10 am - 5 pm, for an information-packed Super Saturday Training by Commercial Expert, Jason Schubert.
No More Excuses
The purpose of this training event is to open your eyes to a niche whose time has come. There is a window of opportunity where you can scoop up incredible deals in a market that most of your competition doesn''t even know exits. They''re off chasing houses or apartments, leaving you pretty much alone to scoop up properties that will throw off $10,000...$15,0000...even $20,000 per month easily.
And the good news is that you don't need money or credit, just knowledge and a willingness to act. Because you can use the exact same creative strategies to claim these deals as you do to grab that house that only spins off $100 or less a month.
How about adding two zeros to that $100 monthly cash flow? Easily. Using the same no money techniques you now use on houses?!
These strategies actually work better on commercial properties than they do on residential. Why? Different Seller's mindset, that's why. First, they already understand creative financing. Heck, they probably bought their property that way. Second, there's a lot less emotion with commercial owners than with residential owners. They didn't grow up in the property or raise their kids there. They bought it as a business, and if you can solve their problem, the property is yours. No emotions involved.
Yes, there really is a faster, better, easier way to Financial Freedom. And this is one of the best. You owe to yourself to check it out.
But you're gonna love every minute! Jason's the real deal. Chances are you'll be furiously taking notes, asking questions and planning your next move.
This is the unique opportunity you have before you. Financial Freedom. Sooner, not later. Free in Five (or less).
Start the journey now, This could be the key you've been looking for!
Due to an overwhelming response to Jason's presentation in June, we have invited him back to speak at GaREIA! See you on Saturday, August 11!
Jason Schubert in 5 short years has accomplished what many perceive to be unrealistic. In 2004, Jason was sitting in a cube working 50 hours a week for the computer giant Dell computers. Until one day he got a call that changed his mindset forever. Since then Jason has taken creative financing and marketing to another level. In his first year while still working a full time job, Jason purchased 18 houses with none of his own money using creative strategies such as subject to's and lease options.
Shortly after, Jason left Dell and became a full time real estate investor and quickly created purchasing and selling systems that has created millions. In 7 years, the results have been astounding…from purchasing 30-50 houses a year using subject to's and lease options, to rehabbing 3-5 houses a month, entrepreneur, builder, commercial real estate mentor and coach, national speaker, hotel owner, and master of buying properties with none of your own money and deal structuring. Jason has been dedicating the past three years to coaching students from coast to coast with his creative and proven systems.

At Saraland Veterinary Clinic, a nimble staff attends to the health of families' furry and feathered companions. They can run lab tests such as bloodwork in-house, vaccinate pets against diseases such as rabies and cooties, or bathe and groom animals. When their owners go on vacation or have the house swept of years' worth of hidden bones, the clinic's team provides boarding for pets. They're also experienced in the care and health of small and exotic animals such as reptiles and birds.
In 1981, B&B Pet Stop paired pet owners with furry friends and items to care for them from a 600-square-foot location. Since then, the store has expanded to 24 times its original size—B&B now fills every nook and cranny of a massive 14,400-square-foot store. But one thing hasn't changed; it's still run by Bill Trufant and his sisters Sally and Mary. The trio's pet emporium stocks everything from Grandma Mae's Country Naturals cat and dog food and Nylabone chew toys to cages and vitamins for birds.
The Trufants and their dedicated staff don't just equip pet owners with supplies; they also supply the pets themselves, hosting so many critters that children take field trips to the shop the way they might visit a zoo. More than 2,600 gallons of salt water aquariums include a live coral system and a reef display, creating a home for saltwater swimmers, such as pygmy angelfish and crabs. Nearby, red-tail sharks, firemouth cichlids, and other creatures frolic in more than 6,000 gallons of fresh water. The shop also sells more than 800 reptiles and more than 12,000 small animals each year, as well as a fleet of birds. For particularly dedicated caregivers, a selection of rarer, more high-maintenance animals is available, including hedgehogs, which demand a homemade cake thrice a day.
B&B Pet Stop's dedication to animals extends to community-outreach initiatives. For instance, you have the option to round up your purchase price, donating the change to monthly rotating charities, including Animal Rescue Foundation and the Mobile Arts Council. This idea has raised nearly $100,000 in just five years.
At Go Play Pet Service, a dedicated team provides around-the-clock care for four-footed visitors with services that include grooming and doggie daycare. Before entering the cage-free facility, all dogs receive a thorough screening, which ensures safety for all guests. Once inside, tail waggers obtain free reign over 3,000 square feet of open space and squeaky-newspaper reading areas. The Go Play Pet Service staff members offer obedience training for puppies and adult dogs. They also aim to keep pampered pets happy with specialty spa treatments including aromatherapy, blueberry facials, and paw-pad conditioner.
When gentle music isn't drifting through the speakers in the grooming room at Little Critter's Salon, you might overhear owner Deborah cooing and singing to her canine clientele. The serenade is one of many soothing tactics she has picked up over her 20-year career as a groomer and trainer. Other gentle methods include the use of organic shampoos, and a slow, gentle touch. This careful approach to grooming helps her staff work with more difficult pets without resorting to sedation.
When it comes to grooming, Deborah shows off her keen eye for style with a list of fur styles to choose from. Additionally, her groomers are always happy to offer pet-care advice, such as suggestions for fur-enhancing supplements and interpretations of their recurring dream about chasing a squirrel that smells like their mother.
The National K-9 School for Dog Trainers graduate and Good Dog K-9 Traning proprietor Mike Bowen enhances owner-pup relationships through straightforward, positive communication. He starts the two-hour behavioral evaluation by peppering clients with questions to illuminate their dog's underlying behavioral problems and trace these problems back to childhood chew-toy traumas. Then Mike will demonstrate several training techniques to frustrated owners, explaining tips such as the proper way to solve behavioral issues or how to train a pup not to bet on a king high. Mutts with major behavioral issues can enroll in a three-day board-and-train program for an additional fee.

Garden club volunteers dig deep to transform and beautify towns and communities across Kentucky
Cheerful containers spill over with colorful blooms on Main Street, gleaming black benches invite weary shoppers to sit a spell, and neat-as-a-pin alleyways are swept free of debris—chances are, they are the labor of love of your local garden club.
Garden clubs have taken root across the state, filling a much-needed and valued role in the maintenance and beautification of Kentucky's public spaces.
"Depending on what the needs of the community are and what the clubs get involved in, you can see the diversity in the projects they do all over the state," says Dianne Caines, a member of The Garden Club of Frankfort and president of The Garden Club of Kentucky.
A member of National Garden Clubs Inc., the state headquarters for Kentucky's 75 or so garden club affiliate members is located in Paris in the circa 1850 Wallis House, an 18-room manse on the National Register of Historic Places. The club maintains the Nannine Clay Wallis Arboretum—named for one of the founding members—an educational facility that is home to one of the finest old tree collections in central Kentucky.
Garden club outreach may include planting and pruning blighted or available areas, clearing trash, restoring gates, creating entrances, writing garden-related brochures, recycling batteries and ink cartridges, recycling other items as yard art, and hosting events to raise money for specific projects and to fund scholarships for students planning to study agriculture or horticulture in college.
"People think of a garden club as sweet little old ladies sipping tea," says Gloria Galloway, president of the Laurel Oak Garden Club of Mayfield, which marks its 50th anniversary this year. "But we're a very active group of workers."
Last year, this club took on the beautification of Mayfield's Courthouse Square at the suggestion of its mayor and fellow garden club member Teresa Cantrell. The project involved pruning trees and shrubs; planting weeping cherry trees and lemon cypress shrubs in front of the jail, whose contemporary lines were at odds with the architecture of the historic courthouse; installing enormous planter boxes that were augmented with 20 large pots and filling them with colorful annuals; and nestling existing memorial stones within the lush foliage of Knock Out roses and perennials.
No shrinking violets, Laurel Oak Garden Club members created entryways and restored the iron gates at Maplewood Cemetery, maintain several public gardens, including those at the public library and the historic Ice House, and transformed the derelict 437-foot-long ravine situated in a high-traffic area. Here, they removed two dump trucks filled with trash, pulling weeds and planting 60 white crape myrtle trees, 36 lemon cypress shrubs, and 24 hot pink Knock Out roses.
"It looks like a city park now instead of a trash-filled ditch," Galloway says. "It's getting out there and doing the work and making a visible change in the community."
"Clubs choose their projects based on their interests, their perception of what might be needed within the community, or what requests or activities they are involved with through working with other organizations—schools, civic groups, tourism agencies, and others—within their communities," notes Caines.
Last year the 71-member Garden Club of Danville partnered with Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill for the first time to decorate its entrance, the Trustees' Office Dining Room, the West Lot Dwelling House, and all the gates and lampposts for the holidays. And for more than 30 years, the club has been decorating Danville's Historic McDowell House, with members fashioning fresh, white pine wreaths to garnish the home's exterior and making period florals for the rooms within.
"A Green Tea, open to the public, is then held at our club's expense," says Sarah Wiltsee, president. "Admission is free, and donations are all given to one or two of our local charities. This year our club raised almost $600 to be given to Family Services and the local Salvation Army."
Additionally, the Garden Club of Danville maintains three public gardens, including the Apothecary Garden at the Ephraim McDowell House, which demonstrates the types of herbs grown for medical and home remedies, the Mary Akin Memorial Kitchen Herb Garden at Constitution Square, and the entrance to the Humane Society's facility in Danville. Members are also involved in the Secret Garden at Woodlawn Elementary School—a teaching garden focusing on the study of plants and their care—and the Community Vegetable Garden, located in a previously unused city lot near Constitution Square, open to anyone who wants to plant, weed, and harvest the fresh produce that is free for the taking. Member James Ross, of the local Saturday morning WHBN AM radio show
Gardening with James
, was instrumental in creating this garden, which, Wiltsee says, is "always open, never guarded, free to all." She says the lack of security has never been a problem.
Garden club projects typically go through an approval process, either with members agreeing on a specific idea or by the club's board of directors voting on projects put before it in writing. And projects are funded in a variety of ways, including dues, selling garden-related goods, and holding garden tours, auctions, or events.
The members of the Glasgow Garden Club bring items to their monthly meetings to sell to each other, with profits going into the club's general fund. Last year they sold gardening gloves—bought primarily by members for friends and family—as a fund-raiser and netted more than $600.
"The year before, we had a 'cake walk' type venture at one of our meetings and gave members donated prizes other than cakes," says Linda Craiger, club treasurer. "We've had luncheons in the past, where members cook the lunch and sell tickets primarily to themselves and give to friends.
"Basically, it's the members who put most of the money into the pot."
For the Kentucky Home Extension Master Gardeners of Nelson County, the annual Blooming Bardstown Garden Tour is their biggest undertaking and fund-raiser each year. An auction takes place the same day to raise money for college scholarships.
"Last year the club gave away $4,000 in scholarships," says Robbie Smith, the Nelson County Extension agent for horticulture. "All garden organizations will bring a different skill set to their communities and their philanthropy will come in different ways, but I believe it is important that giving back should be a founding spirit within all groups."
For more info and a list and accompanying Web sites of member garden clubs across the state, go online to The Garden Club of Kentucky at
Gloria Galloway, president of the Laurel Oak Garden Club of Mayfield, has this to say to would-be garden club members who may question their skills.
"Anyone can do it. You just go in and do the cleanup work, prune the area, and then decide if you're going to plant the area—because if you plant it, you have to maintain it. Start small, then add on to your garden as your confidence increases. Don't be afraid to rearrange your garden like you would your living room. Make changes each season until you have the look you want."
Test your abilities
with these small-scale garden club projects:
• Refresh old flowerpots by hot gluing rocks to them.
• Recycle garden cast-offs: Wrap a grapevine wreath with an old garden hose to create a garland effect. Cut the handle off a garden rake and place it at an angle to the wreath. Add pine cones with hot glue; for a three-dimensional look try hydrangea blossoms (this spring garden wreath can be kept year after year; just replace the hydrangeas).
n Spruce up a special place then make a simple brochure to tell about its history. That's what the Kentucky Home Extension Master Gardeners of Nelson County did a couple years ago. The club chooses one public garden every year to be on its annual garden tour and then helps prepare it. One year it was Bardstown's Veteran's Memorial Park; once the grounds were cleaned up, the club prepared a simple, informational brochure.
• Recycle your Halloween pumpkins: spray-paint them a bright color, turn them upside-down in your planter box with some holly branches tucked underneath, and they become a large Christmas ornament.
• Trim a small, potted Christmas tree with bird nests, hang beribboned seed packets from the branches, and scrunch hydrangea blossoms into the tree.
• For Christmas, spray-paint summer ferns—usually lush until the end of fall—silver or gold for an outdoor holiday display on either side of your front door. They'll look good through January.
• Members of the Glasgow Garden Club routinely recycle items, sometimes turning them into yard art. Several of its members took two bowls, assorted coat hangers, and an air-conditioning unit's cover to the Barren County Area Technology Center in Glasgow, where students welded them together and turned them into a spider that is now on display along the Weldon Park Walking Trail at the Native Plant Habitat.

Greenfield - With three players in double digits in scoring and a fourth just missing that level, the Greenfield girls basketball team won its first Woodland Conference game of the season on Jan. 8.
The Hustlin' Hawks downed St. Francis, 65-52, to improve their conference mark to 1-9 and their overall mark to 2-9.
Tuyet Nguyen scored 14 points to lead the Hawks, while Dana Schwab and Mallory Kleczka each added 12 points and Erika Deubig nine points.
A total of nine players got in the scorebook for Greenfield, which jumped in front 16-9 after one quarter and 34-22 at the half.
The Hawks could not follow up on that victory in their next game, however, as they dropped a 43-35 decision to Brown Deer on Friday night.
Greenfield had a bad start in that one, trailing 15-4 after the first period and 26-13 at the half. An 18-point fourth period made things interesting.
Kleczka tallied 18 points and Schwab nine to pace the Hawks.
In its next contest, Greenfield will face St. Francis again at home at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 22.

when will we be able to remove the taskbar button in windows 7? i don't use the "always combine, hide labels" option, and i don't want to use it just because skype does not support minimize to tray anymore.
stepanpha said 4 years ago
I please the authors to solve the problem of minimize application to system tray.
nathan.smith771 said 4 years ago
Yes, it is very annoying that the main window does not minimize to the tray when closed. I have windows 7 & I do not want the skype button to be hogging taskbar space when I am not actually conversing with it… A fix would be appreciated.
callum_macdonald said 4 years ago
I've recently upgraded from vista to seven and now my sound and mic wont work when i make a call? I have no other sound issues? any ideas
aerobrent said 4 years ago
Ugh… The not minimising to the system try is a REAL annoyance. Please undo this regression by design.
modelrrguy said 4 years ago
I now join the large group of those having trouble with Vista and Skype 4.2 …
Skype won't install on my Desktop with Vista but I was able to, with no problems, install it and use it on my Laptop running Windows XP.
I agree that there should be some warning from Skype for Vista users. Lack of this knowledge caused me to spend many hours trying to fix the problem. In my case, cannot access "Windows Installer – Error 1601″ . -
lin2ton said 4 years ago
how do i get my lifecam 1.4 webcam to work on skype using windows7,i can see and hear during a video conversation,but other people cannot hear me,(they can see me perfectly)this proplem did not occur on windows vista
please help
bren_to_the_end said 4 years ago
Does this hotfix stop Skype being inefficient bloatware? No? Work on that as a priority before trying to support a webcam standard that isn't even on the market yet FFS!
robertoturcidestura said 4 years ago
I'm thinking about using Google Talk, instead of skype UNTIL THEY WON'T FIX THAT MINIMIZE TO TRAY STUFF! it's veeeery annoying!
marixen said 4 years ago
So, you make skype stick to the taskbar in win7, but then why still have the icon left in the notification area?
And now if you want us to have it in the taskbar, how about making it actually EXIT when you close it from the menu, since that now does NOTHING.
as previously it minimized to the notification area, now it should actually close the application. But no, one must use the old icon to close it.
Make it so that the user have the option of how to have it displayed, old school style in tray, or the less exciting taskbar way that you obviously havent gotten the hang of. Dont force us to run it in vista compability mode just to get it the way it was, its not an optimal solution, letteng other problems creep up that you havent prepared for due to the compability mode. -

I had the same problem with minimizing skype with Windows 7. But I fixed it.–> Close Skype. Right-klick the skype icon, choose "Properties" then "Compatibility" and then "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and choose "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
Now it should work till Skype will fix this problem.

WINDOWS 7 MINIMIZE TO NOTIFICATION AREA (formerly System Tray) FIX:
This is NO FAULT of Skype's nor its developers; it's a change in how the Windows 7 Taskbar works.
1. Google is your friend. Use it before posting aggressive complaints here.
2. Exit Skype.
3. Right-click / Properties on the shortcut(s) you use to start Skype.
4. On the Compatibility tab, click "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)".
5. Click OK.
6. Restart Skype.Note the desired behavior is that actually minimizing Skype's main window will actually minimize it to the Windows Taskbar. "Closing" Skype by clicking its "X" button will minimize it to the notificaton area, and the Taskbar button will be gone.
You will lose your Jumplist, but that's the price to pay by telling Windows 7 to treat Skype as if it were running under an earlier version of Windows where Jumplists weren't implemented.
The above worked for me on Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate. YMMV. Other Taskbar settings I use are: Re-enabled the Quick Launch bar (Google for that, it's killer great) and set Taskbar buttons to "Never combine" which shows full icon labels. These settings duplicate the look and feel of Windows 95/98/2000/XP/Vista etc. pretty closely.

bensmeets78 said 4 years ago
Sorry Jeff. Had to reply … In my opnion(and lot's of others) this actually IS 100% a design flaw of Skype's team. Might be a educated flaw, but still a flaw Everything worked great before the latest update, other programs WITH jumplist behaviour AND system tray behavior just work as everyone here expects it to. So to me that points out that it is a specific Skype issue.
cornelius_young said 4 years ago
Skype accessibility is going from bad to worst! I am sorry to say that, but it is true. In Skype 4.2, contacts, history and conversation are not properly labelled according to it's listbox hence JAWS and other screen readers were unable to properly identify the number of contacts on Skype. Apart from that, if you have a large contact list, arrows in it can be very slow and cause much CPU usage. I urge the developer to urgently address this issues.

The decision to not minimize Skype to the system tray has marketing written all over it. I'm sure somebody in marketing, with their infinite wisdom, decided it would be a good idea to show the icon as free advertising.Use your voting power – move to another platform. It will show up in marketing's charts and graphs that useage is down. YES WE CAN!

I stand corrected. The fix above worked. My appoligies to Skype marketing

Come on, when are you going to make Skype hide in the system tray again?
(I no longer run Skype when I am not actively making a call. My contacts email me first. The new toolbar button is clunky compared to the old behaviour.)
dimazaur said 4 years ago
guys run skype in Vista SP2 mode
it will hide skype in tray -
igor.im said 4 years ago
Well, in Windows 7 it's possible to minimize Skype to notification area when running it in compatibility mode (as suggested above), but…
I've used Skype in this mode for few weeks and it consumed high CPU in some calls and caused my PC to freee/hang. When I run it without compatibility mode, it works just fine.Minimizing Skype to notification area should be implemented in the software by design. Please fix this functional regression and give user the right of choice.
igor.im said 4 years ago
Actually there is a built-in option to make Skype disappear from taskbar:
1. In Skype, go to "Tools -> Options"
2. Click on "Advanced" tab to go to "Advanced" settings
3. Uncheck the "Keep Skype in the taskbar while I'm signed in" option -
ar2r5_ said 3 years ago
There is no need for hotfixes for Win7 to close taskbar icon.
What You should do is:
1)Open Skype main Window.
2)Open tools/options
3)Open Advanced settings
4)uncheck this one – "Keep Skype in the taskbar while I'm signed in.And that's it! No more Skype in taskbar. Just like good old times
Cheers. Hope it'll help You all desperete skype users in Win7 -
ylihao said 3 years ago
Yes that works but the Skype icon will still show up in the taskbar when there's incoming messages. Is it possible to keep it all in the system tray (notification area)? I prefer checking for new messages periodically and manually instead of having it notify me.

Skype pops up in my taskbar on VISTA. How do I fix THAT? ;-;
susanappleton said 3 years ago
For some reason I can't get a skype button. I have the toolbar in add/remove but not visible on browser toolbar. I am on Vista on my PC and XP on my lap top and it is not working on either of them. I have found comments on here that say it downloads automatically when you download skype, but not for me apparently. Can anyone offer any help. I have tried the 'Get button' section in skype but that does not work either.
john.shale1 said 3 years ago
The number of issues being raised makes it difficult for a newbie, such as myself, to find answers to their own problems. I am, therefore, forced to state my own problem and seek specific help. I have Vista (home), logitech webcam (with mic.) and realtek headphones.
When I test, using Skype's self test, everything works perfectly. When I tried to converse with my son, we could see each other but audio was variable and of poor quality. It may well be a case of tweaking settings but could be a case of security software getting involved. What I need is a checklist routine, when contact has been established, to establish the cause of any problems.
Definitive answers would be appreciated.

V3 is about the best of them all at the moment. Air temp/water temp and a MAP line to the manifold and your basically done.\
You can also tap off the halleffect sensor and directly drive the coil for spark.
Do fuel first. Setting up both at the same time can be a bear. AND be prepared for a steep learning experience
Any chance any of these Aftermarket Systems might be usable in California?, (and the SMOG guys know about it, and it's OK with them that is...)
Mine's older, and I really do not recall what it cost. it will also depend on if you buy the components and do your own soldering or if it is built by someone else. Even in that case, you will still have to do a lot of wiring in the car, but the ECU would be done. Don't forget to add in the cost for a good wideband oxygen sensor, and the other sensors, as well as the wiring itself and connectors. You will also be needing a fuel rail and injectors, so budget for those. Depending on what your fuel demands are, you may be able to use "previously loved" components for part of the build (for example, on my 8v build the digifant rail and injectors worked fine until the turbo got added). Also, depending on what you are building, you may want to add some gauges (EGT and so on). It all adds up.

I saw a v3 solder your own kit for $378.00. That sound about right? Any idea as to what cc injector I would need? It's a stock 84 GTI engine.
I used the solder-your-own kit multiple times, and I love it. DIYAutotune is the way to go. Everything's pre-labeled in baggies.
I have 19lb/hr injectors that are the stock Digifant ones from a cabriolet's 2H engine, which is the same as the GTI's JH aside from the digifant. I believe these injectors should be good for an engine up to 125hp. (i.e. it will work on a GTI 8v, but not on a 16v)
You can buy brand new ones on GermanAutoParts for cheap: http://www.germanautoparts.com/Volks...olet/Fuel/95/2

unless you need to tune the car why not just go digi-1 or 2 and be done for way less.
but i'm biased especially since i have access to chips for digi-1 n/a and turbo
Oy Timob. This definitely puts it out of budget range for a bit. Roughly how much would it be going with Digifant 1 or 2 though?
go to the corrado forums if you want digi-1 digi-1 is if you intend on going boost digi-2 is MAF based no so boost friendly compared
but i got my digi-1 harness and ecu for 150 POT sensor for 25 bucks digi-2 doesn't use this.
you still need the blue temp sensor and brown i believe it is and housing again all from donar car
if your buying it all i bet they will give you a good deal.
Digifant fuel rail and injectors from the salvage yard all this can be bought from one parting g60 or cabriolet or golf or jetta your fuel pumps will be fine and most of this plugs right in
there are tons of write up on how to do this and everything basically can be gotten from the junk yard or a part out. i bet you could easily get everything from one person for 300

he said the cis is on its last legs digital fuel injection is what he wants to move to. cheapest and simplest option
and for something that is plug n play set n forget digi is the way to go. even digi-1 will handle turbo needs later with ease up to a couple psi before needing a new chip. not everyone wants to sit there and tune the car most just want to get in and go. I have had SDS, autronic, piggyback fuel systems, and a few others. sitting there spending afternoons data logging paying for dyno time. then adjusting fuel curves. compared to time i just had a chip sure i could get more out of tuning it, but many times its just not worth the hassle
Ok if you go digi 1on a 16v even lightly modded, what chip do you need, and who has the best one, and how much$$??

"Hell I can't live peacefully with two bagel makers within a half kilometer of each other much less two cities." - CBJ once again!
you don't really need one unless boosted
if you go boost more then 14 psi you need a chip. I can get you a chip from SNS they have the best chips they rarely make them anymore but I can make a call.
I used to know some CIS mechanics but they retired. CIS repair is a dying art. CIS runs great if you don't touch it but it does wear out then its finicky and many replacement parts are expensive. and most used parts aren't in great shape.This. If you find a competent mechanic, you will be able to fix your CIS and it'll run beautifully.
I completely understand the want to go digital FI. its fairly simple to fix
That is what I'm looking for. I want an updated system that parts are readily available & can be fixed easily. I'll probably go digi1 now & upgrade to MS later. Now I just have to source all the parts for the conversion.
I have chips for digi-1 that handle 400hp
now that person is finally going MS to really fine tune the car but thats only because he races and needs every ounce of power. for a DD i doubt there is a better solution cheaper
I don't mean to be rude, but your lack of punctuation euroteknique makes your posts hard to follow. Lol.
Timob or Doug T: What would be involved with a Digifant 1 or 2 swap, roughly how much, and do you know of a thread that would be helpful for it? Google hasn't been much help in this regard. Also what is the difference between Digifant 1 and 2? I just want better emissions and a little better running performance. Smog was a hassle.
It really depends on if you can buy a compete setup from someone upgrading, or doing a swap. The mk2 guys throw away 1.8 8v engines with Digifant when they do ABA or VR6 swaps. Grab one of those. You could even grab a mk2 parts car.
An ideal car to get all this from would be a 1991-1993 Cabriolet. They have the 2H engine - the Digifant JH. Everything can swap right over and upgraded.
Most of the physical aspects of the electronic system I have are Digifant parts. The fuel rail, injectors, manifold, distributor, fuel filter, and the fuel pressure regulator.
Vintage Watercooled Technotes:
EDIT: So the 2H is an 8V motor, but is it compatible with a 16V, or is additional stuff necessary to make it work? And is it Digifant 1 or 2, and which would be better or cheaper? Thanks!
Last edited by mobiuslogic; 05-02-2012 at 02:26 PM.
There is additional stuff to do with a 16v motor (you'll need a new fuel rail for instance). However, rather than try and type it all out, you should read through this thread:
This thread is about swapping a 16v motor into an 8v Digifant car but the things it says to keep from the original engine are the things you'll need to get from the donor.
You'll also need the wiring harness and Digifant ECU
Last edited by Rannoch; 05-02-2012 at 03:01 PM. Reason: Clarification
Awesome! Thanks Rannoch! That's definitely a worthwhile read!
Digi1 computers are around 20 years old so be careful what you buy. I got screwed on two of them when I first installed my G60 and they were about $100 each so I spent $300 to get one that worked. Bought a used stage 3 chip and it was bad. Cost $75 for it then $150 from BBM for a brand new one. Once it was installed it was such a PITA to tune to pass emissions. You still need an exhaust sniffer to figure out your AFR unless you install a separate WB sensor and gauge.
It is now gone and I have MS and wish I would have done it first. My car fired right up using a G60 map found on the internet and it tunes its self. I did not need any dyno time or to log any data. Plus I can see what my car is doing at all times. Cool seeing you intake air temps and other live data when you drive Well worth the $ in my book.
Maybe my problems with with Digi are not typical and could have been prevented but digi components are old and used like CIS, just not as old and I do not believe it as "plug n play set n forget" as you make it sound. That was definitely not my experience.
I am glad you got it to work for you and that you can make it work the way it is suppose to. I wish I could have it would have saved me another $500 on the MS lol.

MK1 x 3
We can go back n forth on this I have seen dead MS units, units blow engines it goes both ways.
digi is cheap readily available and works no making a new harness it has one that works with vw.
he basically said he wants something he doesn't need to mess with.

Testing and checking something to me seems as one of the most tiresome works in the world. It is also the work of high precision which requires the tester to know what he is looking for, and therefore to be alert in his ways of the testing. On the other hand, the tester is the one who has the knowledge and the skills to bring out the best and to point out the errors in the running and working of any component. So, therefore, the work of testing and the job as a professional tester is the one which seems to be the one of a professional who is very much competent and able to test things out and come out to be the best!
So, in the same way, the professional world of today requires the help of the Software Testers to make sure that the product they are about to release in the market is fit for the use of the consumer and is free from the errors and the defects which may hamper the quality of the product for the consumers in the times to come. This is what a professional Software Tester really does for his company.
Software expansion is a highly profitable business. There is a obsession in the procedure of software development which is just an significant rule to be followed. Such an imperative rule is known as Software Testing. In this contemporary era where software development is enjoying a rumble, there is far above the ground command for the software testers. But let me first tell you what a Software Tester really does!
Software testing training is an examination conducted to provide stakeholders with in sequence about the superiority of the manufactured goods. Software Testing courses is in commission the software under proscribed circumstances to authenticate that it behaves as particular, to become aware of errors and to make lawful that what has been particular is what the user actually required. In a long process of software development, the progression of software testing is accepted out. All the above said things are performed in the Software Testing development and these are the things that one learns under the Software Testing Training.
Therefore, the major work of the Software Tester is to make sure that before the Software is released in the market for the use of the public, he has to make sure that the Software is free from the errors and bugs, or some defects which may cause the Software to relapse and therefore, fall out in the customer's eyes.
In case a professional wants to become a Software Tester then going in for the Software Testing Certification degree and gaining the Software Testing Training are the options which are going to come to his aide. Therefore, gaining the Software Testing Training is going to make sure that you are an accredited Software Tester ready to be hired by some of the best known companies all over the world!
