Here are my photographs of the various Carya.

[nggallery id=56]

Found this pic of the various hickory nuts…pretty handy when it comes to identifying Carya via fruit.

Comparison of the various dehiscent fruit of the genus Carya.

I know we only have one oak at the moment, but when we get around to the others this could be very handy.

I really am a big fan of the Pentel Forte Pro II’s drafting mechanical pencils, I have used them for quite a few years with the 0.9mm being one heck of a work horse.  Well late last semester I purchased a 0.3mm pencil…you know for those instances that a professor allows you to cram anything/everything for an exam on a 3×5 index card.  Well with a 0.3mm I can cram roughly 7+ double spaced handwritten pages could fit on an index card.  After spending the Summer looking for a 0.5mm or 0.7mm Pentel Forte Pro II with no success I decided to go ahead and order them online.  As you can tell I am eager to have my set complete.  Oh if you think 0.3mm is small Pentel does make a 0.2mm mechanical pencil.

A few tips for those who may be interested in running Apache, PHP and MySQL on a Windows platform.

First I suggest installing Apache first (always the latest stable version). Next install MySQL (again the latest version), and finally PHP.  You can check your apache by going to http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 and if you get a message other than 404 then you are ok.  I suggest editing the httpd.conf for apache, and php.ini for php.  Now comes the file copying part that I have found necessary to get everything communicating via php.  libmysql.dll and libmysql.lib should be copied from your MySQL\Opt folder to your PHP folder.  I would also copy the php.ini, php5ts.dll and php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll from your PHP\ & PHP\ext folders to \Windows folder.  You also will need to copy php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll from PHP\ext to PHP folder.  For some reason all the file copying is mostly necessary to get PHPMyAdmin to work sans fussing.
