L.A. Dispensary Ban: Phototron Holdings, Inc. Helps Patients Grow Their Own Medical Marijuana
The Los Angeles City Council voted 13-1 on Tuesday in favor of closing hundreds of Los Angeles medical marijuana dispensaries, leaving many medical marijuana patients wondering what to do now. Phototron Holdings, Inc. (OTC: PHOT), the leading supplier of indoor hydroponic growing products, has the answer ( www.phototronholdinginc.com).
"Under the new ordinance, patients in Los Angeles are able to grow their own medical marijuana plants, but many think that requires an elaborate growing operation," said Sterling Scott, CEO of Phototron Holdings, Inc. "It doesn't. Our family of products and knowledgeable personnel makes indoor, personal growing easy for even amateur gardeners."
The ban comes after the city's officials' failed attempts to develop an ordinance that sensibly regulates dispensaries. While closing dispensaries for good faces further judgment, the current decision allows patients and their caregivers to grow and supply medical marijuana for groups of three or fewer people.
"Phototron Holdings understands that patients need support during times like this," said Scott. "It's not fair for people who depend on this quality-of-life enhancing medication to be left feeling helpless. We want them to know that we are here, offering complete systems that make sense for patients and homeowners with high-quality products and the support to help make growing easy."
The extensive family of Phototron Holdings, Inc. brands includes GRENERS.COM, the premier on-line superstore for everything required to maintain indoor or outdoor gardens, STEALTH GROW LED.com the most powerful source of LED light products for growing and our trademark Phototron Hydroponic growing systems. Our public company (OTC: PHOT) and its operating businesses have been organized specifically to support the grow-your-own herbs and vegetable revolution in the North America. About Phototron Holdings, Inc. Phototron Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: PHOT) ( www.phototronholdingsinc.com) is a company with core holdings in innovative technology-based products and services for the indoor gardening industry and specialty markets.

Essential Tools for the Vegetable Garden
Walk into any garden center or flip through a garden supply catalog and you are bound to see an overwhelming number of garden tools. From hedge shears to hukari knives there is a tool for every task. When it comes to vegetable gardening there are seven essential tools you want to have on hand – a trowel, sharp shooter, garden fork, watering wand, hand pruners, staking materials, and twine.
Trowel – A trowel makes actions like digging, mixing and planting easier on you because it's basically used as an extension of your hand.
Sharp Shooter – To create deeper, more precise holes, you'll need a sharp shooter. This is a specific type of shovel with a long, narrow blade. It provides you with more leverage than a trowel and more control than a large garden shovel.
Garden Fork – Another great tool for working with the soil is a garden fork. Its primary function is to loosen or turn over soil, but it can also be used to rake out weeds or large rocks.
Watering Wand – Once your plants are in place, you will really appreciate the value of a watering wand. This tool allows you to be more precise in the amount of water applied to a particular area, which means more consistent watering with less waste. It also prevents some of the achy muscles associated with bending and stretching to water those hard-to-reach areas.
Hand Pruners – There's nothing better than a great pair of pruners to manage the size and shape of individual plants. This is especially true when it comes to the lanky varieties that can easily over grow their bed companions. They are also handy for harvesting fruits and veggies with tough stems like tomatoes and peppers.
Staking and Twine – The last two things that every gardener needs to have on hand are staking materials and twine. These two work together to keep your vegetable garden in order. First, they provide an area for climbing plants to grow. And secondly, they create an aesthetic design element as a focal point in the garden.
Having the right tool for the job simplifies things and will ultimately give you more time to enjoy your garden.

I have become a big fan of fiskars tools. I love there sharp shooter shovel. I also wouldn't want to be without a good soil knife.
Thanks "Alllen" for the great information about all tools for the vegetable garden, but there are some confusion in "bamboo stakes" how we use this tools. Well thank to all.
[…] Essential Tools for the Vegetable Garden | Allen's Blog – P. Allen … […]
The one tool I would not be without used to be called a Hula Hoe. I think it is called something else now, though. I buy mine at Fred Meyer (Kroger's). It looks like a no-teeth narrow saw blade on a pole bent like a horseshoe. I can weed my entire 30 x 100′ garden in under an hour with it. Haven't been without one in years.
I checked the name of the Hula Hoe. They now call it a Scuffle Hoe.

I have the oppertunity to trade out my stock 2004 seats for heated seats out of a 2005. The only down side is that have to pull them myself. Can you guys tell me where the module would be for me to get these to hook them up for my car? How hard would it be to pull?

There should be a plug already there for the heated seats if I'm not mistaken
Cool deal I will look. If so all I would need to do is take the heated seats and controls and be good.

- Wooden spoons

- Zigzag scissors
- Scissors
- Gingerbread paint (FolkArt Cinnamon)
- Red glitter paint (FolkArt Gems Rubi)
- Red paint (optional)
- Cotton swab or paintbrush
Mod Podge
Assemble materials
For the gingerbread side paint the back of the spoon with the cinnamon paint. Paint up the handle to where you plan to tie the trim on. Let dry.
Cut out rick-rack from white cardstock scraps. Cut out a folk art type heart from white cardstock scraps.
Glue cardstock pieces to spoon with Mod Podge and then apply a coat over the entire back of the spoon. Let dry.
Edge the white heart with red glitter paint.
For the red folk art heart side cut a folk art heart that fits the bowl of the spoon from red cardstock scraps.
Glue cardstock heart to spoon with Mod Podge and then apply a coat over the entire bowl of the spoon. Let dry.
Brush heart with red glitter paint.
Another option is to paint a folk art heart.
- Starting at the handle closest to the bowl of the spoon wrap trim around the handle of the spoon in a crisscross pattern for about 2 inches. Tie off the trim in a bow. I used white ribbon and a fabric strip torn from red fabric. I knotted my ends and then tied knots until only short ends of trim remain.

Abumi Zaku, part of a team with Dosu Kinuta and Kin Tsuchi, is an arrogant and proud genin who stubbornly refuses to give up, even at the cost of his arms. This Sound ninja had a difficult life as an orphan, and was beaten regularly for stealing food to survive. Orochimaru then took him in because he "liked" Zaku's angry, proud eyes.
Zaku likely had a special surgery in his arms, giving him the ability to use his Zankuuha, a powerful jet of air that can destroy rocks and rip flesh. Although powerful, it has a glaring weakness, which is that it is clogged easily, as Zaku found out during his fight with Aburame Shino.
Zaku fought proudly as a representative of the Sound Village, but was sadly discarded like a pawn, as Orochimaru coldly stated. Orochimaru sacrificed him and Kin Tsuchi in order to resurrect the First and Second Hokage during his fight with the Third Hokage.

Jason Pierce is one of Canada's most influential and in-demand drummers. The list of artists he's worked with reads like a who's who of the music industry, and includes Dallas Green, Raine Maida, Justin Bieber, Neverending White Lights, Shiloh, Jessie Farrell, Melissa Auf Der Maur (Smashing Pumpkins), Nick Hexum (311), Skye Sweetnam and many others. With a style of playing that combines power and finesse, Jason has played on over 70 Indie and Major Label recordings.
Born on March 9th 1985 and growing up in London Ontario, Jason joined his first band at age ten. A self-taught drummer, he played in local bands throughout high school. At 17, he decided to focus on pop music. He soon after joined Canadian Indie band "The Weekend" as they got ready to record their third record "Beatbox My Heartbeat". Once the record was released The Weekend toured extensively in Asia and Canada including a 80,000 seat stadium tour in Indonesia and a Cross country tour with "Hedley"
Once the tours ended Windsor's Daniel Victor contacted Jason to put together the live touring band behind Neverending White Lights. This lead to extensive tours including Canadian arena tours, Edge Fest, fly out shows and TV appearances. Neverending White lights achieved a #1 Hit Single with "The Grace" landing GOLD status and a Juno award nomination.
Fresh off NWL's arena tour Jason got the call from Toronto's "Hello Operator" which led to an arena tour with pop star "Hillary Duff", playing on their record and 3 months through the states on a club tour.
Around 2005 Jason began to develop an enormously successful career as a studio musician. Today he's among Canada's most in-demand session drummers. Jason has recorded with Producers: GGGarth Richardson (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine), Dave Ogilvie (Motley Crue, David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails), Jon (the woz) Wozniak (Marcy Playground, Stabilo), Chris Perry (Canadian Idol's, Shawn Desman) plus MANY others.
As of recent, Jason has been playing with a plethora of Major Label and Independent Artists including world wide chart topper Justin Bieber and Universal World Wide Priority Artist "SHILOH" (www.shilohofficial.com)
Shiloh is Canada's #2 best selling artist for 2009. She landed a Platinum single with "Operator (a girl like me)" As well as two other hits with "Goodbye You Suck" and "Alright". She is currently pushing "I Remember": The fourth single off her Debut record, which hit number one on Digital pop charts in fall of 2009. Along with Shiloh, Jason has performed on Much On Demand, The Much Music Video Awards as well as many large summer festivals and headlining theatre tours.
Whether it's recording or touring, Jason brings tremendous drive, enthusiasm and creativity to everything he does.

It's possible your police department has a page on Facebook that no one associated with the department created. I'm not referring to pages created by impersonators. That's a different Quick Tip.
However, sometimes pages are created by Facebook when someone selects an associated interest or when someone checks in to a location. Those pages are called Community Pages, and they're accompanied by a briefcase or a geo-location pin as an icon.
For example, search "Sacramento Police" on Facebook and, in addition to the real department page, you'll find a page Facebook created.
If such a page exists for your police department, you can claim it. First you must convince Facebook that you're the official representative and become the admin. Then you can merge it with your real page.
Here's how:
1. In the upper right corner of the page, click on the round asterisk-looking pull-down menu.
2. Select Is this your business?
3. Fill in the information and click Continue.
4. You will then have to choose a method to verify you can claim the page.
Once Facebook reviews your request and accepts it, you'll be made the administrator of the page. You can then merge it with your current page.
To merge two pages they must have similar names and the same address. Go to the page with the most Likes.
1. Click Edit Page
2. Then Update Info
3. Then Resources
4. If you have two pages that qualify to be merged, you will see a link offering you to Merge duplicate pages.
When completed, the Likes and Check in From the page with the fewest Likes will be incorporated into the page with most Likes. Everything else on the old Community Page will go away.

Top 10 Real Estate ETFs
By Dave Fry
NEW YORK ( ETF Digest) -- Our goal in this profile is to help investors wade through the many competing ETF offerings available. Using our long experience as an ETF publication, and nearly 40 years in the investment business, we can help select those ETFs that matter and may or may not be repetitive. The result is a more manageable list of issues from which to view and make selections.
There is currently an expanding list of nearly 20 ETFs oriented to primarily REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) with more on the way. The following analysis features a fair representation of ETFs available. We believe from these investors may choose an appropriate ETF to satisfy the best index-based offerings individuals and financial advisors may utilize.
We're not ranking these ETFs favoring one over another so don't let the listing order mislead you. Although we may use some of these in ETF Digest portfolios it's not our intention to recommend one over another.
ETFs are based on indexes tied to well-known index providers including Russell, S&P, Barclays, MSCI, Dow Jones and so forth. Also included are some so-called "enhanced" indexes that attempt to achieve better performance through more active management of the index. Where competitive issues exist and/or repetitive issues available at a fee cost saving we mention those as other choices. New issues are coming to market consistently (especially globally) and sometimes these issues will need to become more seasoned before they may be included at least in our listings. For traders and investors wishing to hedge, leveraged and inverse issues are available to utilize from ProShares and Direxion and where available these are noted. Vanguard REIT ETF (VNQ) follows the MSCI US REIT Index which covers about 2/3 of all REITs in the U.S. market. The fund was launched in September 2004. The expense ratio is .12%. AUM (Assets under Management) are approaching $10 billion with average daily trading volume 1.8M shares. As of mid-July 2011 the annual dividend was $1.65 making the current yield roughly 2.68% with YTD return of 10.90%. Data as of July 2011 VNQ Top 10 Holdings and Weightings 1. Simon Property Group (SPG): 9.12% 2. Public Storage (PSA): 4.66% 3. Equity Residential (EQR): 4.66% 4. HCP (HCP): 4.42% 5. Vornado Realty Trust Shs of Benef Int (VNO): 4.18% 6.

How Foss, OK Residents Watch TV
National trends have taught us at CableTV.com a lot about TV in Foss, OK. So we thought we'd share. One-third of people in the U.S. have at least four TVs, 97% still watch conventional television even though nearly 50% now stream shows on the web. A lot of Americans, nearly 3/4, bundle their cable TV service with a high-speed Internet package. For Foss's population of 115, that's equal to:
- 38 with 4 or more TVs
- 55 streaming shows
- 83 bundlers of cable services
- 95 people with evenings free enough to watch TV as it happens.

Denim Country Pumpkins
Don't ditch those old, worn out jeans. Instead, use them to create a fun Halloween craft that you can display all autumn long. Denim Country Pumpkins will fit in perfectly with traditional gourds - this old jeans craft idea is perfect for anyone who wants to save on supplies. These Denim Country Pumpkins will certainly add to the rustic feel that autumn brings. Blue jean crafts are great for the environment and for your wallet. Create a few old jean crafts this season and let autumn spirit abound.
- Adult-size blue jeans
- Measuring tape
- Scissors
- Embroidery needle
- Black or off white crochet thread
- Stuffing
- 5-inch soft-sculpture needle
- Small branch
- Chop saw
- Hot glue gun
- Silk fall leaves
- Pip berries
- Raffia
- Cut the hem off of one leg on a pair of adult-size blue jeans. Measure up 10 to 12 inches from the bottom edge of the jean leg. Cut across the width of the leg. You now have a jean tube.
- Thread an embroidery needle with black or off white crochet thread. Either color will coordinate with the jean fabric. Bring the ends together and knot so that you have a double strand of thread.
- Turn the tube wrong side out. Sew a running stitch around one open end of the jean tube, 1/2 inch from the end. When you have stitched all the way around the tube, insert the needle between the strands, right above the knot. This will prevent the knot from pulling through the denim, causing you to lose your previous stitches. Cinch the opening closed. Wrap the remaining thread around the gathers approximately five times. Take a few stitches in one place, knot and cut the thread.
- Turn your jean pumpkin right side out. Fill the pumpkin with stuffing. Sew a running stitch around the opening. Cinch to gather, leaving an opening approximately 1/2 inch in diameter. Knot and cut the thread.
- Thread approximately 3 yards of the crochet thread on a long soft-sculpture needle. Knot one end of the thread. The thread is to make your pumpkin spines. If you are not comfortable working with such a long length of thread you can make it shorter. When you reach the end of the length, knot and finish off on one pumpkin end before adding more thread.
- Make the spines. Take a stitch in the edge of the top opening of the pumpkin. Insert the needle down through the center of the pumpkin and out the bottom. Wrap the thread up the side and insert down the center and out the bottom again. Cinch to pucker the spine and form the pumpkin side. Repeat around the pumpkin until you have six equally spaced spines around the pumpkin. Knot and cut the thread.
- Gather a small branch from your yard with an approximate 1/2 inch diameter. Use a chop saw to cut the branch into a stick approximately 3 inches long. Fill the opening in the top of the pumpkin with hot glue and insert the stick to create the pumpkin's stem.
- Add a couple of silk fall leaves, pip berries and raffia around the stem to embellish.

Can a man own the term "gaymer"? Chris Vizzini, owner of community site Gaymer.org, is looking to find out as he's applied to trademark the term. Now, before we lose people in a hail of righteous fury and legalese, it should be noted that Vizzini is only looking to trademark the word from online groups trying to use the term in another context. It's also worth noting that the controversial term "gaymer" had been used to describe the gay gaming community before Gaymer.org showed up on the scene. Also, as can be clearly seen in the photo, Gaymers original cider has been enjoyed since 1770 by the island of Britain.
There is currently some heated debate about the issue on the Gaymer.org forums and the other large gay gamer community site Gamers.Experimentations.org. Although many don't identify with the term "gaymer," it's still interesting that the term has gotten to the point of needing trademark protection.
GayGamer.net's site owner, who goes by the handle Fruit Brute, says, "I know there are many people that frequent our site who are members of both Gaymer.org and GamersExperimentations and I am all for that. I wish there was someway we could combine them all together in one big, happy, rainbow filled, pink glitter sprinkled family, but situations like this really seem to cause people to draw their lines in the sand."
To bring the issue into wider focus, what if someone tried to trademark terms like noob, pwn and other commonly used words part of gamer speak? Should one man control a word's destiny online when it's tied to a group in our gamer community?

Singapore man pleads guilty in US Navy bribery scandal
Published on Mar 19, 2014 12:10 PM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - A Singapore businessman pleaded guilty on Tuesday to defrauding the United States as part of a widening bribery scandal involving contracting services for US Navy ships.
38-year-old Alex Wisidagama, cousin of the executive running the firm at the centre of the corruption scandal, admitted to submitting fake invoices to overcharge the US Navy for fuel, port tariffs and other services at inflated prices, authorities said.
He entered his plea in an agreement with prosecutors in federal court in San Diego, California.
Wisidagama is the second person to plead guilty in the case that has rocked the American navy and ensnared several officers, fueling concerns about a possible ethics crisis in the military's senior ranks.

Surgery goes well for Becks
16 Mar 2010 - 08:07:52
Veteran England midfielder David Beckham has undergone surgery to repair the ruptured Achilles tendon which has ended his hopes of playing in the World Cup finals this summer.
The 34-year-old was injured during AC Milan's game against Chievo at the weekend and flew to Finland on Monday to have an operation.
Beckham's spokesman confirmed: "Following a scan, David Beckham's left Achilles was found to be ruptured.
"Professor Sakari Orava performed a successful operation today, repairing the tendon completely.
"David is expected to make a full recovery. Professor Sakari Orava will conduct a further examination on Tuesday, when a programme for rehabilitation will be finalised.
"David wants to thank everyone who has given him messages of support - it meant a lot to him."
Professor Orava added after a 50-minute procedure: "The operation went smoothly and nicely.
"It is difficult to say how long the recovery period will be, but I would guess it will be three or four months and for example for running - it usually takes four or five months until one can do it properly."

From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentWhether or not you have a dog you will immediately feel welcome in Dean Koontz's memoir about Trixie, his golden retriever.
Trixie is not just a cuddly retired service pooch who can issue a "sotto voce woof." She is a genuine angel with a soft spot for lounging on rafts ("I'm moving through water! Without swimming! Brilliant!"), the word 'nachos' and pranks galore (including the bucket-bottom move).
Before you have a chance to jump into this book, it will leap into you.
Favorite quote?
"This may be the primary purpose of dogs: to restore our sense of wonder and to help us maintain it, to make us consider that we should trust our intuition as they trust theirs, and to help us realize that a thing known intuitively can be as real as anything known by material experience."
A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog by Dean Koontz
Read by: Anna/Copley Teen Room
Originally posted to the Teen Blog on 7/16/2012.
This is the story of Trixie Koontz, the beautiful, smart, funny, and generally awesome dog belonging to well known author, Dean Koontz. All these years, I've heard about Trixie, but I didn't realize just how special she was until I read this book. That dog was great at calming other dogs down in the middle of a vet hospital visit. She refused to throw up on a hard-to-clean carpet. She was a perceptive dog who knew when on the tennis ball hunt that one had been left behind.
This was an amazing story of an amazing dog. I laughed out loud until I cried. And then I cried so hard I sobbed. A truly wonderful book that any dog lover should read. Even if you're not a Dean Koontz fan, you'll love this book, and you'll hopefully come to realize (if you haven't already) just how special dogs really are. Especially dogs like Trixie Koontz.
The line editor must have been on holiday when this book was prepared for print! Some sentences have to be read two or three times to get the meaning. Something I found irritating was Koontz's tendency to go back and forth in Trixie's life, instead of chronologically. That said, she really was a smart and affectionate dog, and the book is, as the subtitle suggests, "A Memoir of a Joyful Dog."
What a fantastic insight into the life of one of my all-time favourite authors and the special bond he and his wife shared with their beloved Trixie. She was an incredible dog, and as both a Koontz fan and dog-lover, this wonderful memoir had me both laughing and crying right through. I'm sure all who read this will wish that Trixie could have lived forever.
Dean Koontz can make you feel all the emotions he's feeling. If you've lived with pets of any kind in your home, you know exactly how he feels. Such a wonderful insight into just how much they really loved Trixie.
I've never read a Dean Koontz novel in my life, but this memoir of his lovely dog made me laugh AND cry. I am not a dog owner, but I want one like Trixie!
Trixie's story and spirit will stay with you long after you finished reading the book. I had to re-read the entire book and then, re-read parts of it. Both the book and book CD are fantastic, a must read!
This was a terrific read. Funny, interesting and full of heart, this book made me feel as though I was watching the best movie ever. A must read!

TeamHealth Enters Into A Joint Marketing Agreement With InQuicker
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TeamHealth, one of the largest providers of outsourced physician staffing solutions for hospitals, has entered into a joint marketing agreement with InQuicker, LLC, providers of the nation's first healthcare Online Waiting Room ™, which allows patients the ability to skip the waiting room at emergency departments and urgent care centers nationwide. Through this arrangement, TeamHealth and InQuicker will jointly market a uniquely positioned service to provide TeamHealth's current and prospective hospital clients access to InQuicker.com as a means of improving patient satisfaction, optimizing staff efficiency and retaining patients in-network.
As value-based purchasing standards tighten the connection between hospital reimbursement and patient satisfaction, hospitals are looking for solutions to reduce wait times in the emergency department (ED). InQuicker users are subject to the same triage and queuing procedures as other ED visitors, but they can choose to wait at home instead of in the emergency department waiting area. InQuicker users are sent real-time notifications via phone or email with updated projected treatment times. Studies by InQuicker have demonstrated that their product reduces a patient's wait time by an average of 45 minutes.
"Our relationship with InQuicker allows us to provide additional value to our ED clients and the patients that they serve," said David Grinbergs, DO, FACEP, President, TeamHealth Emergency Medicine. "Their innovative product is consistent with our goal to be a comprehensive hospital solutions company, supporting the entire continuum of hospital-based patient care."
"We are proud to partner with TeamHealth as we share a common mission to provide solutions that benefit patients and providers alike," said Michael Brody-Waite, CEO of InQuicker. "Both organizations are 100 percent focused on providing our hospital partners with the resources they need to deliver first-class healthcare consumer experiences. We look forward to working with TeamHealth to help reinvent access to healthcare."
About TeamHealth TeamHealth ( Knoxville, Tenn.) (NYSE: TMH) is one of the largest providers of outsourced physician staffing solutions for hospitals in the United States. Through its seven principal service lines located in 16 regional sites, TeamHealth's more than 7,700 affiliated healthcare professionals provide emergency medicine, anesthesia, hospital medicine, urgent care, and pediatric staffing and management services to more than 750 civilian and military hospitals, clinics, and physician groups in 47 states. For more information about TeamHealth, visit www.teamhealth.com. About InQuicker InQuicker, founded in 2006 and based in Nashville, Tennessee, is the nation's first health IT company to offer an Online Waiting Room TM for emergency department and urgent care center visitors. With InQuicker, emergency department and urgent care center visitors can hold their places online while waiting from the comfort of home. Unlike basic wait time displays, InQuicker provides its users with projected treatment times so they can arrive and be promptly seen by a healthcare professional. InQuicker is currently partnered with 144 medical facilities in 21 states nationwide. For more information about InQuicker, visit www.inquicker.com.

Lens boards for the older Omegas are still quite available - both new and used from the usual online sources (e.g. Calumet, etc.). The ones I have all have a large center hole, and then a small adapter plate attached with three screws. The center hole in the adapter plate is selected based on the size needed for the specific lens. Some lenses use a 39mm Leica screw-in mount, others a clean hole with a retainer ring on the back side.
You may be able to (carefully) clean the Besseler lens using the usual blow-it, brush-it, lens-cleaner-it technique. If there is dust inside, you may also be able to remove the front element to clean the interior surfaces. That, however, gets a bit trickier, and depends on the lens design. If it is too dirty inside, and you can't get at those surfaces, I'd also suggest getting another lens in better condition.
You are correct about the "silver bucket" being the condenser assembly. There are two large lenses inside that, with the convex surfaces facing each other. The assumbly should be removeable via a couple of side screws at the top, and L-shaped retainer slots. Be careful when you remove it, as the lenses just sit inside, and it's heavier than it looks. You'll want to remove the condenser lenses and carefully clean them with lens-cleaning fluid and a lens cloth. Over time, atmospheric gunk gets on these and substantially reduces the light transmission.
Different condensors are often used for different focal lengths. If you have the D2V model, there is a third condenser lens in a housing below the lamp head, with a flip=up door and slots to reposition the third lens.
There's at least one dealer online that services older Omega enlargers, and has a variety of parts available. A Google search on "Omega enlargers" should turn him up.

So the amazing 5 Day Deal is almost over and there is just a few more hours to get in on this deal. Actually by the time that I finish this post there will probably be only an hour left. It finishes at 1 am here in Korea or 12 pm EST for the western world. That means that your time is running to get your hands on one of the most amazing bundles of photography resources that you can buy.
There have been many examples of photos that have changed the lives of the photographers that have taken them. We all know Nick Ut's photo of the "Napalm Girl" and how it changed his life. There are many examples of these kinds of life changing photos. However, there are many more people trying trying to catch their big break and hoping that at least one photo will catapult them into stardom. That is why you see people sharing photos to every site imaginable. They (me) pepper facebook and Google Plus with what they think is award-winning photo. Only to have our friends cheer us on and our mother's tell us that we should be published in National Geographic.
Few buildings in Korea sparks so many photographers to descend upon a rooftop like the Zenith Towers in Busan. These are one of the tallest apartment buildings in Korea and are located next to the ocean overlooking haeundae and the Gwangali Bridge. Suffice to say that the roof has a pretty impressive view.
I have been taking on the task of greatly trying to break my old habits and really focus on what I am shooting. I have been a photographer for years and I enjoy it quite a bit. However, for the most part, my photo-brain was on cruise control. It wasn't until a new photographer friend showed up on the scene that really made me think about photography in a new way.
Day 2 started early with a trip to the Togyo reservoir to watch geese and other migratory birds do what they do best… migrate. Sadly the weather was not on our side that day and a thick fog rolled in, obscuring our view of pretty much everything. It still was great to see this mysterious fog and the sounds of the birds flying overhead. Soon it was breakfast time and a bowl of jook and fresh locally grown food hit the spot. Many of the vegetables were grown on site which is something you don't find too often in the cities.
One of the best things about living in a "regular" apartment in Korea is that I actually get to see the sky. For the past many years I have the luxury of watching the man of the 2nd floor of the adjacent building smoke cigarettes and spit. Sadly, for a landscape photographer this makes judging the skies a little difficult.
Well it is the rainy season in Korea and the weather can be a bit "hit or miss" However, with the rain means dramatic skies and that is something that you must look for. I will further explain a bit of what to look for and maybe actually some of the information from that climatology course that I took in University.
Not at all. Most dramatic skies occur before or after a rainstorm. So the best thing that you can do is to watch the skies and see how the storm is breaking up. It is a bit of a gamble as some shots don't always pay off as much as I had hope. However, the theory is sound.
f/8 Bracketed -2/0/+2
Walking along the Taehwa River Park the other morning I found myself enchanted by the bamboo forest that runs along side the river. Maybe it was the soft music or the first warm and bright day in Ulsan in a long time. At any rate I came out of this walk more relaxed and with a few nice shots as well.
For a while now I have wanted to get to the top of these distinctive twin towers on the skyline of Ulsan. I was definitely lucky as when I walked up to the doors of tower 101, a family was coming out. I was able to get in without a problem. Upon getting to the top there was a ton of great opportunity for shots. The best part was that the work men had left behind a ladder allowing me to climb up and shoot over top of the high walls.
Setting out to shoot in Onsan is not an easy task for anyone. The key here is transportation and knowing where to go. You also must go in with the understand that they don't necessarily want you photographing their facilities. This means the there are very few clear shots of the factories and takes a bit of driving to find which places have a clear line of sight.

They threw a swell birthday party for George McGovern last night. The former World War II bomber pilot, U.S. senator and presidential candidate turned 90. There was a fancy cake and toasts ("Too bad you're a Methodist, George," said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, raising a glass of wine in his friend's honor) and a ton of reminiscing from a hundred or so grey-haired liberals in the rooftop room at the Newseum.
Well, not everyone was grey-haired. Or liberal. Sen. John Thune, the conservative Republican from South Dakota, defied the edicts of political polarization to attend. It was a laudable sign of respect by one South Dakotan for another, and a sign that Thune is a class act, the audience concluded.

Governor Chris Christie said that he his inclined to not renew New Jersey's Red Light Camera program when the five year experiment expires in December.
Speaking at a press conference in Sea Bright yesterday afternoon, the governor feigned surprise that Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon is opposed to the RLC program. O'Scanlon has waged a ferocious multi-year campaign against the cameras, producing independent data showing that the cameras increase accidents at intersections where they are installed, that they are often timed to entrap drivers and alleging that they are nothing more than a money grab on the part of the companies that operate them and the municipalities that deploy them.
Christie said he has not studied the issue to the extent that O'Scanlon has, "but I will, " he said, "I have some concerns. At this point I am not inclined to allow them to continue, but I haven't made a final decision yet."

"Sometimes the process works"
Assemblyman O'Scanlon praised the process that led to the comprehensive and sensible solution to the placement of electric meters in flood zones. "As hard as it is to accept, conflicting concerns will mean we sometimes encounter frustrating rules and regulations" said O'Scanlon. "Sometimes those enshrined rules and regulations can be exceedingly difficult to alter, even in the face of drastically altered conditions. So when we came across the meter height issue a few weeks ago, I was very concerned."
O'Scanlon was contacted by a constituent, along with local Sea Bright officials regarding the conflicting guidance pertaining to the placement of her electric meter. "The original guidance directed her to place the meter above the base flood elevation level, which she did. The problem arose when JCP&L representatives showed up and informed the homeowner to move the meter down to 5.5 feet above ground level, well below the future flood level. We almost simultaneously encountered the issue during an inspection of rebuilt neighborhoods in Union Beach. I immediately contacted JCP&L and the Governor's Office of Rebuilding and Recovery. Everyone 's attitude was immediately open-minded. The JCP&L folks explained the reasoning behind their rules – they must have easy access to meters in case of fire or other emergencies – but understood that a better solution was needed for these flood prone areas and they committed to finding one".

Beginning Thursday, August 28th, the Market will begin featuring organic grass fed meat and cheese, cream top yogurt and eggs from pasture raised, hormone free hens.

After 25 years of service over a 28 year period, C. Read Murphy has stepped down from the Sea Bright Borough Council.
Murphy has been contemplating leaving the council for some time. He informed the Sea Bright Republican Committee he would not seek another term during their candidate selection process last spring, and then had a last minute change of heart and filed to run in the primary.
John Lamia, the candidate selected by the committee to replace Murphy before his change of heart, was the top vote getter, with 63 votes, in the primary. Murphy and his fellow incumbent, James LoBiondo, tied and there was one write-in vote, which created a vacancy for the second GOP nomination for council. Murphy also had a write-in vote in the Democratic primary.
For the last several months, Murphy has wanted the borough to hire him as the beach manager, a job he has been performing as a volunteer. Had he been hired, he would have resigned. Murphy said the job is still up in the air, but that he resigned for personal reasons and not due to his pending job application.

City Beat: Is Sacramento overcoming its envy of other cities?
Studying the innovative things another city does is one thing. Then there's the decade-long obsession Sacramento has had with Portland, Ore.
A lot of you have probably been to Portland. I just went for the first time last week, when Sacramento was making its pitch for a spot in Major League Soccer at the league's all-star game.
It's a great city, with a functional and vibrant downtown. There are eclectic, walkable neighborhoods in every direction. They have so many food trucks that the locals complain the product is getting watered down. There's terrific craft beer and a couple of sports stadiums near the center of town. Their well-run light-rail system even goes to the airport.
But it's not nearly as diverse as Sacramento. The weather stinks in the winter. And they don't even have parklets!
Still, our obsession with that city runs deep. Business groups have been going up there for years on "study missions." In 2008, three candidates for mayor – including former Mayor Heather Fargo – said Sacramento should try to resemble Portland. (Fargo later said she was mad at herself for not saying Sacramento should emulate itself.)
My trip up there had me wondering: When do we get to the point when Sacramento stops envying other cities? Will we ever reach that point?
I turned to Clay Nutting and Michael Thiemann for their thoughts.
Nutting is one of the guys behind the restaurant LowBrau in midtown. His crew also has organized those concerts on 20th Street during Second Saturdays, like the party they had over the weekend that drew another huge crowd. And they're putting together TBD Fest, a music festival in West Sac this fall.
He sees this as an important moment for Sacramento. Young people aren't fleeing for the Bay Area or Portland like they once did. A lot of that has to do with Sacramento's affordability, but there's more, he said.
"For every city that we may think we aspire to be, there are hundreds of them that would probably be knocking themselves over to be in the position we're in right now," Nutting told me. "We're coming to the realization that what we have are things that are unique to us."
Thiemann sees it, too. He's the chef and owner of another restaurant, Mother. He thinks Sacramento is a blank slate, where a guy can open a vegetarian restaurant on K Street of all places and make it work.
"You can dream up whatever you want and make it happen," he said. "That era of envy? It's dead."
Some might call this cheerleading. They'll say Sacramento still has a long way to go to earn the cachet of a place like Portland. And they're right; we fall short in a lot of ways.
But that doesn't stop any of us from thinking about the day when our envy of another city turns into pity.

How Will Avon (AVP) Stock Be Affected By New Job Cuts?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Avon Products (AVP - Get Report) will cut about 600 jobs, including in its North America unit, as the company struggles to return to profitability, Reuters reports.
The job cuts and other restructuring efforts are expected to result in annual savings of about $50 million to $55 million, Avon said.
The company is struggling to turn around its fortunes after a host of problems in key markets such as Russia, Latin America and the U.S. hurt profits, Reuters added.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Growth Stocks
The company's stock closed down -1.67% to $14.69 yesterday. TheStreet Ratings team rates AVON PRODUCTS as a Sell with a ratings score of D+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate AVON PRODUCTS (AVP) a SELL. This is driven by a number of negative factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, generally high debt management risk, disappointing return on equity, generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and feeble growth in its earnings per share." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Personal Products industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 1128.5% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$13.70 million to -$168.30 million.
- Although AVP's debt-to-equity ratio of 2.96 is very high, it is currently less than that of the industry average. To add to this, AVP has a quick ratio of 0.70, this demonstrates the lack of ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Personal Products industry and the overall market, AVON PRODUCTS's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 34.90%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 1166.66% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Turning toward the future, the fact that the stock has come down in price over the past year should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it could be one of the factors that may help make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy.
- AVON PRODUCTS has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past two years. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, AVON PRODUCTS swung to a loss, reporting -$0.01 versus $0.21 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.80 versus -$0.01).

Shackell shines in stalemate
Jason Shackell marshalled the Barnsley defence to a well-earned point in a goalless draw at lacklustre Derby on his 200th league appearance for the South Yorkshire side.Theo Robinson was denied various opportunities to give the Rams a much-needed home win by the away captain's battling performance, with the Tykes going close through Garry O'Connor and Danny Haynes.Barnsley had the first chance of the afternoon, O'Connor forcing Frank Fielding to tip round his post after three minutes.Neither side could conjure up the cut-and-thrust attacking football required as they battled on through the wet conditions, Barnsley twice going close on the half-hour mark through Diego Arismendi and Kieran Trippier.The rain abated as the sides came out for the second half. Paul McShane saw his close-range header bounce just wide before Haynes produced a wonderful left-footed drive which was blocked by Shaun Barker.With just over 10 minutes remaining, O'Connor's shot was blocked by Gareth Roberts, who was making his 500th career league start.
