First and foremost, the Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker is an indispensable appliance for small kitchens. It's a great multitasker, serving not only as a rice cooker, but makes risotto with no stirring, and can be used as a steamer for lean proteins and veggies. (Tip: try layering aromatic veggies like onions and fennel with fish and herbs for a gourmet spa-inspired meal that'll make your place smell amayyyzing.) But, in all honesty, part of the reason we want this is because it looks like the Weebo robot from the movie Flubber.

In 1900, just a few months after the deadly hurricane of September, W. L. Moody Jr. and his family moved into the four-story mansion at the corner of Broadway and Twenty-sixth Street in Galveston. For the next eight decades, the Moody family occupied the 28,000-square-foot home: raising a family, creating memories, building business empires, and contributing their considerable wealth and influence for the betterment of their beloved city. In 1983, Hurricane Alicia damaged the mansion, and Mary Moody Northen, eldest child of W. L. Moody Jr., moved out so a major restoration could begin. When the mansion opened to the public as a museum, education center, and location for community gatherings in 1991, it had been restored to its original grandeur. The Moody Foundation then commissioned award-winning author Henry Wiencek to write a history of the Moodys of Galveston and their celebrated home. Robert L. Moody Sr., grandson of W. L. Moody Jr. and nephew of Mary Moody Northen, contributes a foreword, giving a brief introduction and personal tone to the book, which also features fifteen color photographs of the Moodys and their home. An epilogue by E. Douglas McLeod summarizes the family's accomplishments and developments associated with the mansion since Northen's death in 1986. The Moodys of Galveston and Their Mansionis a must-read for Galvestonians, for the thousands of visitors who tour the mansion each year, and for anyone interested in the captivating tale of this influential and generous family and their magnificent house.

Hello from Iowa! My name is Norm. My dad taught me to shoot when I was very young. By the time I was 10 I would pack a small lunch, grab my trusty single-shot .22 and a pocket full of shorts, and head for the hills where I would spend the day being Daniel Boone or a mighty hunter after large, dangerous preditors such as gophers. Few kids today are as fortunate as I was.
I am very interested in our Second Amendment rights, am a NRA member, got my CCW permit a couple years ago, but just started regularly carrying the past couple of months. I look forward to participating in the forums here.

Yesterday, this column reviewed "Mr. Peabody and Sherman," a newly-released film with a plot that hinges on the characters' ability to travel to the past and to the future. Over the years, many filmmakers have incorporated time travel elements into their films. One of the most memorable of these is "The Terminator," which was released in 1984.
"The Terminator" begins in a bleak future where much of earth's population has died in nuclear war. A cyborg called a terminator, disguised as a human (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger), is sent to the year 1984 to kill Sara Connor (played by Linda Hamilton), a young, struggling waitress. She will give birth to John Connor, who will become a key figure in the future war. The goal is to kill Sara before she can give birth to John. To protect her, Kyle Reese (played by Michael Biehn), a well-trained human soldier, is sent back to destroy the terminator.
This film was the first successful movie directed by James Cameron. He shows here that he is an expert in creating suspenseful action scenes. In the scene where the terminator first tries to kill Sara, we get hints to the filmmaking prowess that will make Cameron a coveted director. It is sent at a nightclub, and Kyle gets to her just in time to save her. This scene is a good one because before, the audience is unclear if Kyle is a good guy or a bad guy.
"The Terminator" features one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's best performances. His character is a machine, and he talks like one. He is a very scary villain. But there are moments of comic relief as he encounters some of earth's realities.
"The Terminator" is a must-see for any fan of suspense, action, of science fiction. It is the best film of the franchise.

Have you noticed the Twitter craziness on Fridays? It's fun and exciting, but also can be a lot to sort through… it's too much!
For those of you that don't know what this is all about… on Fridays people recommend people to follow. It's about as simple as that…. but….
There are so many #FollowFriday recommendations that it is on the verge of being overwhelming…
In this short video I share my thoughts on how to simplify this activity and make it more meaningful to my followers.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing a bit of your day with me.

Twitter and #FollowFridays: "What Has Happened?"
Have you noticed the Twitter craziness on Fridays? It's fun and exciting, but also can be a lot to sort through… it's too much!
Twitter… Turning Tweets To *Gold*
I'd like to start you with a quote…
The Law of Receptivity: The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving. (The Go-Giver Book)
"Ya, so?" You may be saying to yourself.
Well, let's really think about this for a moment. If you have the opportunity to lift someone up, help them out, give them kuddos… you are going to be very appealing in their eyes, aren't you?
On Twitter there is a POWERFUL feature that many overlook using. I think they don't think about using the RT (ReTweet) feature, because they are fearful of promoting someone else!
Have you noticed how much people self-promote? The spam? The link dropping? It's crazy and rampant.
Do you want to stand out and look different in the crowd? Of course! Then do what most people won't do… Give, help, support others… and it will come back to you 10 fold.
If you do it with the truest of intentions to GIVE WITHOUT EXPECTATIONS OF RECEIVING BACK… YOU WILL BE BLESSED.
Connect with me on Twitter!
Wishing you all the best,

*Key* Filtering Strategies On TweetDeck

What do you want to know how to do?
Want to know how to 'key' into specific people and what their conversations are with their followers OR what others are saying about them? I'm going to show you two ways to easily do this that are simple and easy to do. This will make your Twitter experience a lot more fun!

Part 1: The 10 Vital Components for the Most Powerful Network Marketing Funnel on the Planet
Today we're going to talk about something VERY important. It's something that can make or BREAK true success in your network marketing business. And it has to do with a variety of factors. (Many of these notes are taken from a training put on by Jonathan Budd.)
First things first…you have to know yourself! You have to know what mediums WORK WITH YOU to build a network marketing business. You have to take into consideration the different pros and cons of the methods to build your business…and then pick the mediums that are most optimized for YOU to create success.
What I mean is this…
If you're a SMOOTH talker, great at influence and persuasion, networking, and prospecting out of your warm market…then traditional network marketing tactics can work wonders.
If you know how to generate endless referrals from within your warm market, and you have no problem prospecting people who didn't ask for what you have to offer, then you should be able to build a solid business using those traditional tactics.
But if you DON'T know how to generate endless leads from your warm market, and you don't know how to prospect people who never asked for what you have to offer, then you NEED to learn the real science of marketing.
It's just that simple.
So to take action steps closer to where you REALLY want to be you first have to figure out what MEDIUMS are most suited to your personality and how you want to build your business.
Once you have made a firm DECISION. Either old school or new school or BOTH…you now start taking actions steps to get the exact INFORMATION you need to execute on building your business.
In-For-Mation. It literally means "to put into form", which is why it's so important. If you don't know how to market, and you don't know how to generate leads then you need to learn HOW before you can actually start doing it.
And once you have the right information…you can start performing the daily actions that actually lead to results. You can sit down and focus so that your actions lead to PRODUCTIVITY and nothing else.
Make no mistake friend, if you're NOT performing the actions that lead to what makes money in this business…you're going to be treading water just trying to stay afloat.
But if you KNOW specific money making actions that you can sit down and systematically crank out day after day…it's IMPOSSIBLE for you not to start creating results and success.
That's why I LOVE Internet marketing. That's why I LOVE using technology to build my business. Because I have these physical, in my hands techniques, that I can use on a daily basis to produce
real results for my business.
I've mastered the ability to drive an ENDLESS amount of traffic to any website I want, and turn that traffic into leads, distributors, and cash flow for my business.
And I have to tell ya, if you dedicate yourself to using technology to build your business there are more possibilities for rapid explosion than you can imagine.
Before we move on…KNOW yourself. Figure out how YOU want to build your business. Then take the actions steps you need to take on a daily basis to make it happen.
Now let's move forward to learn the precise strategies I use on a daily basis that automatically generate me endless leads, distributors, and cash flow for my business.
What does it really mean to generate or attract an ENDLESS amount of leads or new prospects daily for your business? I see people plaster their "expertise" or "system" on this everywhere on the web? Is it true? Is it real or is it some weird scam?
The biggest challenge I see for marketers today, is how to find ENOUGH of the right, targeted audience to expose their opportunity, products, and services to. Unfortunately, people are still using archaic ways to "get the word out" about their businesses.
Leadership in today's companies are still telling distributors and reps to make lists of hundreds of friends and family members who haven't asked for information or shown an interest in it. And yes, a very small percentage does appreciate the information and does choose to join in the business partnership.
But many times this exciting time for a new associate is met with opposition, skepticism, and a lack of support, because these people are not the "right" people to talk to. Unfortunately again, many friends and family have no interest in changing their situation or thinking, and they don't necessarily understand or support network marketing.
We are also told to go do trade shows and to have tables at fairs, festivals, and public events. Have you ever had any success with these? I sure never did! And I've done many! Even if I got names and numbers from drawings or raffle entries, they never converted into sales.
I waisted my time and my money and felt beaten and defeated afterwards. They really took the wind out of my sail (or shoule I say sale) and it was always hard to keep the energy up and to continue moving forward.
Oh, don't forget about putting in those classified ads! Those ads had to be worded somewhat mysterious or vague to get people to call you, only to get hang-ups and people wanting to find a J.O.B. (Just Over Broke), with no ambition to build something remarkable for themselves financially. And of course, there went more of my cash!
Did you ever get a wild hair and start cold calling people out of the phone book… like businesses? Business owners love when you do that don't they? Of course not! They're busy, they don't know you from Adam, and it doesn't work to do this either! What's frustrating is that your product of service most likely would be an outstanding match for their business, if only you had the right, "magical" script to get them to see the big picture you had for them.
The list of these strategies and tactics could go on and on. They just don't work for the effort and resourses one has to put forth to have even a slight chance of getting ahead.
I'm going to share the solution with you today. We are in a new era and time of technological breakthroughs in Web 2.0 Internet marketing. Now initially it may sound strange to be able to develop deep, meaningful relationships, but I beg to differ.
In a very short time, people can make hundreds, even thousands of new friends and come to know hundreds of people who have the same interests and entrepreneurial drive to succeed in business. Most are positive and supportive and a huge resource for cutting edge information to guide you to improve as a marketer and as a person.
As you develop these relationships, by adding value to their lives and business experiences, something profound and dynamic happens…
People become attracted to you for your leadership, knowledge, and mentor abilities. People begin calling you, wanting to now more about you… This typically doesn't happen in the scenarios we mentioned above!
This new interest is NOT because you "sold" them on a product or service or used "slick" sales tactics to trick or corner them into investing their hard-earned money into a business that they really weren't a match for. It's because you were more interested in developing a relationship first… not make a quick buck!
Because of the incredible numbers of people on the Internet, the marketers who figure this out are going to stand out among a sea of people all self-promoting and screaming, "I'm the best! Join me!!" This SPAMing mentality is short-sighted and will turn and "bite" if provoked!
The art of generating these F*REE leads is being open to being trained on the strategies of this new platform and how to expose YOUR new learned leadership and marketing skills to the masses.
And if you've never experienced or even dreamed it possible… well, let me tell you, my friend, it is REAL and is possible for you! Invest in your skill and knowledge and you'll be shocked at what you can accomplish.
The second piece of this puzzle is, "What do you do when people start flocking to you in LARGE numbers for more information?"
For example, my partner, Jonathan, generates between 110-330 brand new op-in leads per day! He can't possibly call them all. (I know, what a problem to have!) And the last place he'd want to send them would be to a company replicated web site. So what next?
Next time we will move on to the information we've all been waiting for… Part 1: The 10 Vital Components for the Most Powerful Network Marketing Funnel on the Planet.
And I want to acknowledge my mentor and friend, Jonathan Budd for his incredible leadership and training on this journey that I'm on. Thanks for Empowering me!

Seven 'Lesser Known' Strategies For Social Media
Last year I had no idea what a social media site was. I heard people at work talk about MySpace this… and MySpace that… but I really had know clue what they were talking about.
Wow, how times have changed! My curiosity really got the better of me as I imagined millions of people meeting, connecting, and sharing ideas on the Web. As I started plugging in to the social media sites to get a taste of the 'flavors' out there, I started to notice one UGLY thing every where I went.
I'm sure you know what I'm about to share… Yes, people self promoting their links, opportunities, and products everywhere without any regard to getting to know me personally.
This is one area that most of the entrepreneurs on social media sites are not understanding. And this is why I'm sharing these ideas with you.
Now, they may achieve short term gains, but I truly feel they will miss on their long term goals with this style of marketing. Remember, what you do now will affect your reputation on the web… FOREVER!
And people REALLY like to talk a lot in Social Media Circles. Grab a pen and paper and keep these close by your computer…
1. If you want to stand out and be noticed, if you want people to be talking about you, then BE REMARKABLE, BE DIFFERENT, BE UNIQUE!!! Here are some questions you can ask yourself… How do I look? How do I sound? Do I have any catch phrases? What's the flavor of my personality? Am I truly unique?
2. Be FUN!!! To attract people to you, you need to find funny things to share. People love stories. Tell them in your Tweets, posts, and updates. Some people may go as far as being a smart ass most of the time. It's up to you.
3. Offer your expertise and knowledge to others. Be helpful. Everyone is looking for direction and help. Connect people to information they are seeking. Offer value and direction with your content.
4. Be supportive. Encourage people in their quest for FREEDOM… physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially. Did I leave any off? People want to be around positive thinking people who are going places, creating a future, and are fun to hang with.
5. Be controversial. Are you one of the sheep? Or are you going to do what most of the people say can't be done and get off your tail and do something extraordinary? (This is good for me to hear, too.) Throw ideas out there that push the envelope. You'll stand out as a person who thinks outside the box.
6. Be resourceful. Learn the new tricks to generate leads, meet new people, and maximize your time with the least amount of money coming out of your bank account. Remember the people and the relationships that you develop are part of this 'resource list' that you are creating for yourself. It is a huge asset that should not be taken for granted.
7. And finally… I think is the most important, DON'T SELL!!! Social media is one BIG PARTY! Don't be the lame one at the party only talking about how you help people get rich! Have fun, mingle, create relationships, and when the time is right, invite people over to your pad (blog or website). Then they'll begin to like and trust you for the value you have to offer them. I see it all the time… people will just want to be around you and do what you do. "People don't like to be sold, but they love to buy!"
Make sure and leave a comment and Tweet my post if you think people would benefit from these reminders. Thanks for coming by my 'place' to hang for a while. Message me to let me know where to find you, too. And you won't want to miss my Advanced Strategies that are shared in my FREE 8-Day SOCIAL MEDIA MASTERY Video BOOTCAMP.

Acne is a frequently occurring skin disease: about 80 percent of the adolescents suffer from acne during puberty (1). Although it is no serious health hazard, except in some rare severe forms, acne impairs the attractiveness and therefore has negative effects on the self-confidence. Boys are more and longer affected by acne than girls (2). The first symptoms of acne may already occur in 8 or 9 year old children but usually become apparent at early teenage. Acne normally disappears after puberty but may persist or reappear in some cases in the fourth decade (3). An overview of the various forms of acne is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3: Symptoms of acne
Excoriated lesions:
Within the plugged sebum glands skin bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes proliferate. Their metabolic products induce inflammation of the walls of the sebum gland (follicle).
The follicle swells and becomes red. Pus develops.
Attempts to squeeze out the pimples disrupt the walls of the sebum gland. Pus, bacteria, and metabolites spread the inflammation in the surrounding tissue.

Book synopsis
In today's security-conscious environment, the loyalties and allegiances of migrant communities are increasingly being brought into question. Drawing on the collected knowledge of a number of Australian experts investigating interwar issues of security, surveillance and civic rights from the perspective of migration studies, this book aims, through the examination of individuals and groups in Oceania who were targeted for potential subversion or believed to hold National Socialist sympathies (including local National Socialists, Italian-Australians, Russian exiles, members of the right-wing movements the New Guard and Australia First), to consider how issues of security were regarded at another critical point in world history and what lessons we may learn from that period today. This book examines a variety of motives for embracing National Socialism and investing hope in the Third Reich. Attitudes shifted over time from enthusiasm to scepticism and disappointment. But, most importantly, beyond support and opposition, there was a surprising level of disengagement and indifference from sister movements on the radical right. This groundbreaking study defies easy answers and previously-held understandings, and will stimulate debate and further research.

GiGi Hadid burst onto the modeling scene earlier this year after she was featured in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue. Although Hadid had landed several modeling deals prior to the spread, the men's magazine launched her celebrity to a whole new level.
Following the magazine's release, Hadid, 19, went on to pose in risqué photos which showed one of her nipples, and while that is normal for a top model, it was a bit awkward for fans of "Real Housewives" who still think of her as the young daughter of Yolanda Foster.
But for those who felt the nipple shot was awkward, things are about to get even more uncomfortable, because Hadid has now posed completely nude.
According to a March 14 report by E! News, Hadid is featured in VMan Magazine, posing on a train "with nothing but her piercing green eyes and wavy blond locks vying to steal your attention from her bare bum and strategically covered curves."
Hadid looks gorgeous and stunning in the shots, as per the usual, which is a great sign for her career. At this point, it seems like she's landing magazine after magazine, and that, added with her life with pop star Cody Simpson is sure to have made Hadid a busy girl.

Whether to talk to son(s) about dating after divorce.
A little background, my wife and I divorced a little over a year ago.
Marriage had some serious damage, but we seldom let it show to our
kids. I wanted to keep trying, despite knowing my own
faults/contributions to a distant relationship & flawed marriage.
She fell for someone else and continues to date the person for whom she
left the marriage. My kids are now both within the age range of 6-10.
We are nearly 50/50 in our time with them.
My question(s): Should I ask either of my kids what they think about
the other guy being around? She hid the relationship from them for a
year+ but now is having him over to the house a bit. Not sure whether
I should only wait to see if they want to talk to me about it. Also, I
am beginning to date and wonder whether (or how much) they should know
about that. Thanks
Talk is one thiing, questioning him - no. Try to have a normal conversation and make a possitive statement but very casual if you have to but never queastion them about that. Build a trusting relationship with them. Remember children do not get divorced parents do. They love both parents and would not want to be put in the middle of it. In a general conversation you can for instance say" you must always remember we both love you very much, we both will see some one from time to time but that it is very inportant that they must fell secure and happy about it. Tell them that you respect their opinion in all changes that might occure and that is is inportant for you that they are comfortable with everything that is or which is still going to happen. If you need to know something remember that "we" is much more effective than "you, her, or they". Build a trust relationship. After a divorce children feel let down by both parents and we have to start building from scratch. Good luck.

Holga, My Holga...
Why a Holga?
A Holga's Innards
Prepping Your Holga for the First Time
Shooting With a Holga
Film Types for Holga
Simple Holga Mods
But Now I Need a Lightmeter...
Where to Find More Holga Info
So you've never used a Holga before, but you vaguely heard about this toy camera or you just saw it at the local photo store and were charmed by the sheer bubble-gum quality of it. Maybe you've worked with 35mm or digital photo before, but you've never shot anything like this plastic box. Heck, you don't even know how to load 120 film, though you'll figure it out with a few minutes of fumbling. This is for you.
>>> Visitez cette page en français.
Why a Holga?
What is the attraction of this cheap plastic toy? Well, it actually has several charms:
- The plastic lens and a moderate amount of light leaks and vignetting produce strangely dreamy, retro pictures.
- Medium format negatives, considerably larger than 35mm ones, can store a lot of fine detail.
- It's the cheapest way to get into medium format photography.
- You can produce square images, which is a refreshing change from the traditional oblong photos of 2x3 or 3x4 proportions.
- It's so simple that it allows you to concentrate on composition rather than technology.
- It allows you to try tricks such as multiple exposures effortlessly (perhaps too effortlessly!)
- It's light, reasonably sturdy, and easily replaced, so you can take it everywhere and never have to miss a shot anymore.
- It's very inexpensive, so you'll never break the bank equipping it.
- Also because it's so inexpensive and so easily replaced, you can experiment, modify, and tinker without worry.
Our Photos
We have scanned a few of our Holga pictures; you can find them here.
A Holga's Innards
Figure 1
(Image based on the schematics from Holgamods.com)
A Holga 120S is a very simple animal. It's a plastic shell with a spring-triggered shutter and a plastic lens (1). There is a rudimentary focusing ring (2) which is part of the lens; a shutter release (3) with a fixed speed of about 1/100th of second; a manual winding knob (4); a cheap neck strap hung on cheap little metal clips (5); a shoe for a flash (6) but no sync control for it; a viewfinder (7); a toggle for sunny/cloudy conditions (8) that does absolutely nothing since there is a single lens aperture of f/11; and a little window on the back to let you see frame counts.
There are more "elaborate" models, such as the Holga 120CF (which includes a built-in flash); the Holgaroid (which uses Polaroid film); the Holga CFN (which comes which a colour flash); the Woca (a Holga but with a glass lens instead of plastic); and a bunch of variations on these themes, including the cheerfully ludicrous version that comes with a cheap slot-in filter set. In our opinion, the best bet is to buy the cheapest, most basic model, and customize it yourself, or to buy a hand-customized model from Holgamods (but hey, do what you like!)
You can get a Holga 120S for about US$15.59 on Amazon.com; in stores, it usually goes for around US$20. We got ours from Glazer's Camera in Seattle.
Film Frame Insert
The native, feral Holga comes with a plastic mask that produces a vertical rectangular format, 4.5 cm wide by 6 cm high. In that configuration, you can take 16 photos on a roll of 120 film. The insert can be removed (more on the how-to later) to produce square pictures, 6 cm on a side. This will give you 12 pictures per roll.
The Lens
The run-of-the-mill Holga is equipped with a cheap plastic meniscus lens with a focal length of 60mm. Because for medium format a "normal" lens (i.e., one that approximates what the human eye sees) has a focal length of about 80mm, the Holga produces a wide-angle effect.
(The Woca model is equipped with a glass lens rather than a plastic one, but a lot of the charm of Holga photos comes from the soft-focus effect produced by the plastic lens.)
The viewfinder on a Holga can charitably be described as "through-the-body". It doesn't show you what the lens actually captures, it just point generally in the same direction. So you have to use your imagination a bit to picture a more wide-angle view of the scene and compensate for parallax. It also means that if you want to cencentrate on a subject in the foreground, you should get closer to that subject than you think you have to.
Despite the two aperture settings (clouds/sun!), a Holga has only one effective aperture, f/11. There's a fixed aperture of approximately f/11 mounted directly on the lens, and one aperture of about f/8 mounted on a swinging arm. Unfortunately, whoever designed this setup didn't think too hard. It the smaller aperture is fixed, what is the point of having a wider one moving around? Resourceful tinkerers can follow Mark Hahn's instructions or T. Escobedo's to install two apertures for real.
Prepping Your Holga for the First Time
|Figure 2
Light Leaks
You should know right from the start that if you don't tape your Holga, it's going to have light leaks. Some of these may actually look neat, or they may just wreck your pictures. Between that and the fact that no two Holga (cheap plastic) lenses take exactly the same picture, you could say that Holgas are, um, very individual. You may want to shoot a roll or two before you decide whether you like your very own light leaks or whether you'll tape the heck out of your camera; on the Holgas we tried, tape made the image much better. The most common light leaks are indicated on Figure 2.
The best tape to use for this is gaffer's tape (we get it at a pro photo shop). Electrical tape and duct tape can melt off your Holga on hot days, and leave a sticky residue. First aid tape is also pretty good, though it leaves more residue than gaffer's tape.
(Coming soon — in the mean time, there is a good picture on the New York Institute of Photography site.)
|Figure 3
The Holga's default format is 120 "medium format". As described above, your Holga comes with a plastic mask that produces a vertical rectangle format, giving you 16 photos per roll, 4.5cm x 6cm (also known as "456" format). Let's assume for now that you stick with this format for your first roll. Each roll of 120 is spooled onto a plastic spindle; your Holga comes with an empty take-up spindle that should be on the right-hand when you open the back of the Holga. Tear the plastic wrapper protecting the film, then break the paper seal (ring) holding the roll. To load your camera, you need to notch the beginning of the film roll into the empty spindle, and insert the film spool in the left-hand compartment (see Figure 3). Wind the film about half a turn and close the back.
It's better to load and remove the film under "subdued lighting condidtions", meaning not in glaring sunlight. Some people may notch first, then insert the film roll, or you may find it easier to secure the roll first, then pull out enough film to notch the take-up spool. Once you have the film notched, wind the take-up spool a bit to tack up the slack and give some tension (this might be a good time to look at the tension adjustment mod first). Close the back of the camera, and tape up the light leaks.
|Figure 4a
|Figure 4b
|Figure 4c
Now start cranking the take-up spool and watch the little red window in the back for the symbols that indicate you are approaching the beginning of your first frame. Depending on the film, arrows and logos precede the frame numbers.
For example, Agfa Scala has three arrows of decreasing size as you approach the next film frame number (Figure 4a), Ilford film (e.g., Ilford XP2) has pale gray circles of increasing diameter between frame numbers (Figure 4b), and Kodak film (e.g., Kodak T-Max or Portra) shows rows of very small Kodak logos (Figure 4c). The frame numbers appear upside down, with 6 and 9 underlined.
By the way, the symbols on Ilford film are so pale and so hard to read that they make the film (which is otherwise of good quality) almost more trouble than it's worth.
|Figure 5
Still assuming that you're using the 4.5x6 format, you should see the numbers in the bottom part of the window (the default setting), as on Figure 5.
Your first few rolls of film will likely be experimentations, as you get the hang of this toy (and figure out where the light leaks are). And if you're like us, every roll may be an experiment as you try new tricks! You can save a bundle on film costs by buying film that has passed its expiration date, usually sold at about 25% of its original price in many photo stores.
Every time you insert a new roll, you need to move the now-empty spindle from the left-hand side to right-hand side in order to use it as the new take-up spool. Jamming the full roll in is usually a pain in the ***, and some day we'll probably break the plastic pin by forcing that roll in, but this has not happened yet.
Shooting With a Holga
Common Mistakes
OK, here are some easy mistakes. In fact, they're so easy to make that you're almost garanteed to make them once or twice... or more... on your first few films.
- "Oops, I forgot to take off the lens cap before snapping..."
- "... And THEN I advanced the film instead of just taking off the cap and shooting again!"
- "Unintended double exposure — I had forgotten to wind my film after the last shot!"
- "I just wound the film too far and skipped a frame."
- "I forgot to focus."
Now you know. It's helpful to develop (so to speak) a standard operation procedure; for example, get in the habit of always winding to the next frame immediately after taking a picture, and you'll always be ready to snap a shot without wondering "Did I wind?"
Figure 6
It's unclear what focusing distance the icons on the focusing ring correspond to (see Figure 6, adapted from Holgamods.com). There is a discrepancy between various sources; while Holgamods says the icons correspond to 3 ft, 6 ft, 9 ft (0.9 m, 1.8 m, 2.7 m), and infinity respectively, other sources give 3 ft, 9 ft, 15 ft (0.9 m, 2.7 m, 4.5 m), and too far(!), or as 4 ft, 10 ft, 20 ft, (1.2 m, 3 m, 6 m), and infinity. The best way to find out is still to experiment.
Multiple Exposures
Figure 7
A fun thing to do with a Holga is to play with multiple exposures (Figure 7). You have a neat landscape framed, but the moon is over there in that empty corner of the sky? No problem. Snap the landscape, then turn around and add the moon by exposing again on the same frame. You'll likely do this a few times unintentionally when you forget to wind the film between shots. Who knows, it may produce an interesting result.
You can use this trick to take multiple shots of something moving, for example, a dancer, and create strange special effects.
Another use is taking photos of stationary objects (e.g., buildings) in low light. If you didn't install or buy the "bulb" modification (well explained on Argonauta Productions), you're stuck with a 1/100 s (nominal) shutter speed. But if you keep pressing the shutter release, you add more light to your picture! Of course, if you need an exposure of 1 second, this can get a little ridiculous...
A couple of sites (e.g., Melisa Taylor and Mark Skorji at Toycamera.com and the Washington Post's Frank Van Riper) have good explanations and examples of the "Holgarama", or Holga panorama, so no need to give a detailed explanation here. In a nutshell, you keep panning around with your Holga, slightly overlapping the images to create a panorama. 220 film is good for this, since your frame count will be approximate anyway. Note that the pictures must be taken from left to right, or the overlap will be in the wrong direction. Andreas Wolkerstorfer and Pask have some nice examples of Holgaramas.
Film Types for Holga
120 Film
|Figure 8
As previously mentioned, the Holga's basic format is 120 film. It's widely available, second only to regular 35mm (135) film. You can find it in color and in black and white, print or slide. A roll of 120 does not have a cartridge like the more common 35mm rolls; its' simply a length of film wound on a plastic spindle and held by a paper seal. It comes in plastic wrapping (Figure 8).
Although the Holga nominally uses 200 ISO film, you will likely get your best results from the more flexible 400 ISO. Colour print and C-41 (CN) process B&W film are very forgiving for exposure. In addition, C-41/CN film uses the same chemicals as colour film for development, and therefore can be tinted, for example, sepia or blue, which works nicely with the Holga retro style.
Print (colour-reversal) film is always more forgiving on exposure than slide film. If you choose to go for slide format, remember that the transparencies will be unmounted, although you can purchase frames and mount them yourself. Naturally, these frames are larger than standard 135 slides, so you need to check whether there is an adaptor for your projector for this format. Yes, Agfa makes some of its B&W Scala slide film for 120 format.
We tend to favour Kodak T-Max 400 and Kodak Portra 800 NC because we find them for cheap here, but Ilford, Fuji, and Agfa films are fine too.
220 Film
|Figure 9
You'll read quite often that the only difference between 120 and 220 film is that 220 is twice as long so you can take double the number of frames (i.e., 32 4.5x6 frames or 24 6x6 frames). That's only partly true. See, the reason 220 film can be twice as long and spool to the same size is that it doesn't have the paper backing that (a) keeps 120 film more light-tight, and (b) displays the frame numbers. So you can put 220 film in your Holga, but as soon as you reach the black portion of the film, cover the little counter window with tape and don't uncover it again until the end of the roll, or you'll expose the film (see Figure 9).
Use a point of reference such as the arrowhead on the take-up spool knob (you may want to mark it with white-out). If you're using the 6x6 format, count one full turn plus two "clicks" (or a total of 34 "clicks") between frames. If using the 4.5x6 mask, count just under a full turn by bringing the tip of the arrowhead just where the back of the arrowhead's starting position was, or a total of 26 "clicks". Count 24 shots for 6x6 format, or 32 for 4.5x6, and finish winding the film to the end of the roll (both ends do have a length of paper to protect the film from exposure).
135 Film
Also known as 35mm film (nominal) or as 24mm x 36mm film (its real dimensions). 135 film can be used in a Holga by jamming little pieces of foam above and below the canister; this is explained very well on holgamods.com. It produces attractive "sprocket hole" pictures. However, you have to wind the film back into a canister by hand, which is a pain if you don't have a darkroom. It can be done in a changing bag, but only if you're more dextrous than Sophie...
Just like for 220 film, cover the little counter window (use tape if you have to) and don't open it again until you've rewound your film back into a canister, or you'll expose the film. Count 34 "clicks" (or one full turn plus two "clicks") between frames.
Polaroid Film
You can also use Polaroid film with your Holga if (a) you bought the expensive Holgaroid, (b) you bought the expensive Polaroid back for the Holga after the fact, or (c) you're as creative and skilled as Randy at holgamods.com.
Simple Holga Mods
Here are a few elementary modifications for your Holga, none of which involves doing anything destructive. Even if, like us, you are hesitant to cut, drill, or otherwise mutilate your Holga (or your fingers), none of the following mods should present a problem. And of course, they're all just suggestions.
Velcro Mod
Several descriptions and versions of the "Velcro mod" are available on the Web; the most helpful is probably the one from Rannie Turingan at Toycamera.com. That is what Sophie chose, with one changed detail: instead of ribbon for the outer side of the self-adhesive Velcro, she used gaffer's tape. It doesn't tend to peel off and is very flexible. This mod makes it quick and easy to seal the Holga every time. Edmund does not use this mod, preferring to tape up his Holga.
Tension Adjustment
There is nothing in a Holga to ensure even tension on the film, except the friction of the spindles themselves. After you've used your Holga a bit, the film roll may tend to go slack or back up on itself. Some Holga users recommend sliding a piece of cardboard or even a thin spring blade under the spindle ends. We like to use a strip of the fuzzy-side of a piece of self-adhesive Velcro, just wide enough to fit in the groove under the spindle. It may tend to peel back a little after a while, as you manhandle the spindle in place; just rip it off and put in a fresh piece. So far, this has prevented any film slippage. Just make sure, every time you put in a new roll of film, that you wind the film a bit on the take-up spool before closing the back of the camera.
Counter Window Cover
The red transparent window used to view the frame count on 120 film is one big light leak. It can create some exposure problems even with 120 film, despite the paper backing; it will wreck the film if you use 220 or 135.
Cut thin strips of grip-side self-adhesive Velcro, about 3 to 4 mm wide, and use them to frame the entire counter window. Then cut a longer strip of the fuzzy-side Velcro, just big enough to cover the entire window. Place a piece of tape or ribbon on the sticky back of the fuzzy piece. Voilà! Just peel off the portion covering the red window to check the frame number when winding 120 film.
6x6 Photo Format and Bubble-Wrap Pressure Plate
There are several good sites out there that show how you can cut and file down the 4.5x6 mask to take 6x6 photos instead. However, if you (a) don't have the tools or space to do this safely, (b) are just afraid of removing your own fingers with the knife, or (c) want to be able to switch back to 4.5x6 format every once in a while, there is a simple solution. First, open the back of your Holga; remove the plastic mask, and store it somewhere for future use. Now you need to do something to ensure a bit of pressure on the film, or it will wobble in its slot.
Find one of those envelopes padded with bubble wrap. Cut pieces to fit between the ridges in the removable back plate of the camera. Using black gaffer's tape, secure them to the plate, taking care to tape in layers so that the direction of film pull does not lift the tape.
Note also the two holes in the camera body above the shutter housing; once the 4.5x6 mask is removed, these can cause light leaks. Cover them with black gaffer's tape.
Finally, you should now switch the counter window to display the numbers in its top part. Unfortunately, this damn window is stuck when you first get your new Holga. Use an instrument such as a small flat screwdriver and lots of care to slide the black plastic mask down without perforating the thin translucent red window cover.
Screw-In Filters and Lens Hood
Figure 10
Vignetting is the darkening of the corners caused by the shading of accessories extending too far in front of the lens, such as stacked screw-in filters, step-down rings, and screw-in lens hoods.
The plastic lens is just the right size to take 46mm diameter threaded accessories such as screw-in filters or lens hood. However, the best way to proceed is to start by using a 49mm to 46mm step-down ring, costing about $2. That has the two benefits of allowing you a wider choice of filters (46mm is a somewhat limited size in most stores), and limiting vignetting — not that you can or even want to completely eliminate vignetting from your Holga's many lovable features (see Figure 10). In my (Sophie's) case, that also means being able to use filters I already own.
Carefully screw in the step-down ring, trying to keep it straight; force a thread into the cheap plastic. Once the 49mm-to-46mm ring is in, you can always add another (for example, a 52mm-to-49mm) to take whatever size of filters you happen to own already. If you do have to buy filters, buy them used. Who cares if they're a little scratched?
You can screw in a cheap rubber lens hood of the correct diameter after installing the step-down ring(s). Once again, it's not terribly important to worry about vignetting, which is a Holga trademark.
You may wonder why anyone would bother using filters with a cheap plastic camera? Black and white photos can be greatly improved by using a yellow or red filter, and colour may benefit from a warming filter, etc. If it's very sunny and you're using 400 ISO film, you may want to use a neutral density filter to tone down the brightness, regardless of film type. You can also use diopters to take close-up pictures, as described in this article on Toycamera.com (Method 3).
But Now I Need a Lightmeter...
As you experiment in different light conditions, and particularly if you decide to opt for the "bulb" modification described on some Holga sites (i.e., removing the spring that snaps the lens open and shut, so that when you press the shutter release, it stays open until you close it manually — useful for night exposures), you may be challenged to guess at the light conditions. But surely you don't want to buy an expensive light meter (exposure meter) for a cheap camera? Relax. It's perfectly possible to buy a used light meter for under $50, and even under $10! Before you buy, be sure the manual is included, or find a copy somewhere.

Striving to provide ever greater value to its customers, Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has reached yet another technological milestone by introducing chip-based smart cards. These fuel cards are the first of their kind to be launched by any OMC in Pakistan.
The formal launch ceremony was organised under the theme of "Your World Just Got Smarter!" at DHA Golf Club, Karachi. The launch event featured high-profile guests and decision makers from across the corporate sector. The event highlights included performance by the country's leading musical band as well as a laser show by a foreign artist.
Introduced with the objective of providing increased convenience for PSO card customers, these fuel cards incorporate added security features in the form of chip-based encryption technology which secures all customer information residing in the chip from unauthorised access. Usage of these cards will benefit corporate customers by facilitating administrative supervision, economising fuel expenses and selection of customised cards options. Speaking at the occasion, CEO & MD PSO, Naeem Yahya said, "Through the launch of this Smart Card, PSO has further underlined its standing as a customer-centric company which is continually introducing new products and services to provide ever greater benefits to the consumers at large." During his speech the MD also reiterated PSO's vision of transforming itself into an integrated Energy Company.-PR Business Recorder, 2013
PSO Fleet and Corporate Cards are fuel based cards specifically designed for organizations/individuals who want to manage their fuel expenses systematically. This unique proposition was introduced in 2003 in the fuel market for the first time by PSO. Both Fleet & Corporate Cards have pre-approved credit limit provided by company/fleet owners or individuals as per their requirement. PSO Fleet & Corporate Card is a fuel management solution that helps in growing business to manage and control their fuel expenses in an efficient way.

Moms who blog wear two hats and that requires some extra effort – not just from mom bloggers, but from brands who want to engage us. Car seats, apps, even mops are all ripe for review, but mom bloggers are inundated today.
Tip #1: Talk Mom-to-Mom
To catch our eye, point out key features that a mom – not just a blogger – would appreciate. A press release doesn't do this. Instead, try testimonials from other moms – including moms who blog.
Tip #2: Always Ask Permission
Mom bloggers appreciate review samples when asked in advance. Unsolicited product mailings are a big 'no-no' in the mom blogosphere. We simply don't have the time (and, in some cases, space) to open and review everything, especially if it isn't a good fit for the mom who blogs or her family. "Moms who blog also don't need a commercial in their inbox," notes Colorado-based Catherine of Evolving Mommy. For better results, be judicious about what you put in a blogger's inbox and mailbox.
Tip #3: Leave Nothing to Chance
While bloggers know their audience best, we may not understand what a brand expects when we begin a dialogue and a relationship. "Always be clear what you want from a mom," advises West Coast blogger Kadi Prescott of Social Media Moms. Bloggers want to know what the brand's expectations are up front, so that they can work on an appropriate timeline for a review or project.
The mom who blogs is an important asset for your brand campaign. Just keep in mind she's busily working at home, as well as blogging. And, that hands-on, real-mom perspective is precisely why she's so valuable.
Clarissa Nassar is a veteran blogger and veteran mom – blogging at The Posh Parent since 1999 and living in New Jersey with her husband and three children. She is a longtime "Glambassador" for Glamour Magazine, a member of Invisalign's Mom Advisory Board, and has consulted to dozens of brands.

July 7, 2014
NEW ORLEANS - While the nation celebrated its 238th birthday last week, many Tulane baseball players celebrated by playing in its national pastime during the fifth week of their summer league placements.
While the schedule was light for many of the leagues, it didn't stop the designated Tulane players from putting together solid performances. Rising redshirt junior Alex Massey had an outstanding performance in his summer-league debut, while shortstop Stephen Alemais continued to swing the bat as well as anyone in the Cal Ripken League. Lex Kaplan, in the one game he played in, also had a stellar outing.
Each week at TulaneGreenWave.com, Green Wave baseball fans can check in to see how their favorite players are doing in their respective leagues, as the Tulane Athletics Communication staff will put together a weekly summer report of the Green Wave baseball players.
Here is a breakdown of the highlights for the fifth week of summer league baseball. Please take note that not every player has arrived to their respective summer league squad.
The stats compiled here are posted on each player's respective league site.
Ian Gibaut - Hyannis Harbor Hawks
Gibaut had a light load this past week, as he appeared in just one game, throwing an inning against the Falmouth Commodores on July 5. The Houston native allowed one run on one hit while also recording a strikeout. Through seven games on the season, Gibaut owns a 1-1 record with a save while posting six strikeouts in 6.2 innings.
Stephen Alemais - Bethesda Big Train
Alemais saw action in three games last week, and he did not disappoint. The Bronx, New York, native went 6-for-14 (.429) in those three games with one double, three RBI, three runs and four stolen bases. Alemais kicked off his week with a single in a 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Redbirds on June 30. The following game - a 7-3 win over the Gaithersburg Giants on July 5 - Alemais went 2-for-5 with a run, two RBI and a stolen base. He saved his finest performance of the week for July 6, where he played a crucial part in helping his team defeat the D.C. Grays 8-6. Alemais went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs, an RBI and three stolen bases - a summer-league high for him. Alemais is now batting .347 on the season with 17 RBI and 20 stolen bases. His .347 clip is third in the league, while his 20 swiped bags paces the league.

Yandel solely saw time on the mound last week, as the Woodstock, Georgia, native made two appearances while picking up his first win of the summer. The rising junior started on the mound against the Baltimore Redbirds on June 30, allowing one hit while facing just three batters. However, on July 5 against the Gaithersburg Giants, Yandel was explosive, as he fanned three while allowing just two hits across 3.0 innings for the win. In five games on the year, Yandel is 1-0 with a miniscule 1.28 ERA while striking out five in 7.0 innings.

In a 3-2 win against the Youses Orioles on July 2, Williams posted an RBI-groundout for his seventh RBI of the summer. The following game, the rising sophomore was successful in his lone at-bat, singling during a 2-1 loss to the Gaithersburg Giants on July 6.
Alex Massey - Baltimore Redbirds
Massey made his summer-league debut in a relief appearance on July 6, and he did so in grand fashion. In 2.0 innings of work, Massey allowed a hit, but recorded all six of his outs on strikeouts. Massey reported to the team just last week.

Kaplan played in just one game last week, but he certainly made his presence felt. In the Dodgers 9-5 win over the Rebels on June 30, Kaplan went 2-for-4 with a single and a three-run home run while also walking once. On the season, Kaplan is hitting .359 with seven doubles - both second in the league - while his two home runs are tied for fourth. Kaplan remains the league leader in walks with 17.

Measure B: New Schools for Menifee
As most people are aware, Measure B will be on the February 5th ballot. Publisher Steve Johnson has...
As most people are aware, Measure B will be on the February 5th ballot. Publisher Steve Johnson has written a previous article and several people have posted comments.
Since I have been a teacher in the Menifee District for several years, I hope to add a few observations that may help people decide on this issue. When I first arrived at Menifee Valley Middle School, student enrollment had increased to a level far beyond the planned capacity of the school. Bell Mountain Middle School opened at that time and the students were divided between the two middle schools. Now, both of these schools have grown and are again approaching the capacity limits. If this measure passes, the new middle school and two additional elementary schools will be completed just when crowding at our existing schools is having a serious impact on teacher morale and student discipline.
I have observed that the school district management and the school board are financially conservative and consistently spend the available funds where they will do the most good for the students. The district is not here for the benefit of the administrators or the teachers; it is here to provide the best educational experience possible for the kids. Working in a great district is just a side benefit we enjoy.
It is hard to ask people to approve higher taxes for themselves. My best argument to do so is that we have a great school district that is an asset for our community and has a positive effect on home values. This bond measure wi

Nokia 603 with Symbian Belle and Nokia Luna Bluetooth headset announced
Nokia has just announced two new products: a smartphone and a Bluetooth headset.
The smartphone is the Nokia 603, which arrived sooner that we'd expected. Like the Nokia 600, 700 and 701 before it, the new Nokia 603 runs Symbian Belle. According to Nokia, the handset is "designed to appeal to first time smartphone users and those upgrading from older products."
The 603 features a 3.5 inch ClearBlack display with 640 x 360 pixels, HSPA (up to 14.4Mbps), Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, NFC, GPS, free turn by turn navigation, Bluetooth 3.0, 5MP camera with 720p video recording at 30fps, 1GHz single-core processor, and a 2GB memory card pre-installed.
The Nokia 603 will be available in black and white, with several optional back covers (you can see them above). The smartphone will be out this quarter for about €200 ($275) before taxes and subsidies – certainly not a bad price for a device with that set of features.
To accompany the 603, Nokia has introduced the Luna Bluetooth headset – a "uniquely designed in-ear device with NFC pairing capabilities."
The Nokia Luna Bluetooth headset will also be out this quarter. It will cost €69, coming in five color versions: black, white, green, cyan, and fuchsia. More details here.

What are PEG and electrolytes?
PEG and electrolytes are oral solutions used prior to colonoscopy and other examinations or procedures to cleanse the intestines, in particular, the large bowel or colon. The PEG remains in the intestines where it retains water by producing an osmotic effect. This causes a watery stool, in fact, diarrhea, which rapidly cleanses the bowel within hours. Polyethylene 3350 is used in all of the formulations. Since electrolytes (sodium, potassium, etc.) are lost with diarrhea, electrolytes are added to the PEG to replace or prevent the losses. The electrolytes and their concentrations may vary from product-to-product. PEG and electrolyte containing products are mixed with water and drunk for the cleanse.

LG G Pad 8.3 now just $224.99
A high-end 8.3-inch tablet that's cheaper than a Nexus 7? Yes, that's exactly what we're talking about here. The last deal we saw for LG's G Pad 8.3 got its price down to $249.99, which was excellent, but now there's an even better offer out there. In fact, you can get LG's tablet for only $224.99, five dollars cheaper than the equivalent Nexus 7 – which is smaller.
So if you've always felt that a 7-inch tablet would be just a bit too tiny, but a 10-incher would be huge, perhaps the LG G Pad 8.3 is the perfect fit for you. Most of its specs are incredibly similar to the Nexus 7, but it sports a premium finish and it has a microSD card slot too, for expanding its internal storage. The only downside to the G Pad 8.3 is that it still runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, which is now two versions behind the latest that Google has to offer for the Nexus 7.
Still, if you don't care about software support, the G Pad is great, especially for that low, low price. So what do you have to do to get it so cheap? Well, go to Newegg, add one to your cart, and then use the promo code EMCPHHC28. After applying that, like magic, the price will drop down to $224.99.

Boy who caught a Crook is the 1961 family film. A young boy and his homeless friend find a briefcase without money. It turns out that it belongs to bank robber Rocky Kent. They turn it to the police and the kid leaves out his friend. However, Rocky is still searching for the money and manages to track down the family. The kid escapes and goes to his friend, but Rocky tracks him down. The colonel says that he took the money, breaking the boy's heart. However, a few twists in the case will show his true colors.
This is a typical heartwarming family movie with enough intrigue to make it watchable. The sub-plot where the detective and the boy's mother is genuinely interesting and should have been developed more. The colonel gets the most character development as he is willing to risk his reputation in order to protect the boy. Since this is a 1960's movie, it is loaded with sentimentality. Viewers who don't like such blatant sweetness may want to avoid the film. Still, it's decent, if not completely original. Honolulu film fans should rent this movie first.
