Re: colored strobes
Larry, this is multi-system flash (it has a set of switches on the back that determine which protocol it would use) that support TTL (not P-TTL) and has its own light meter so that it can work autonomously as far as impulse power goes. It has two settings (IIRC) that determine the auto mode operation. Also it has set of color filters. It swivels and tilts. Before sending it to Stan, I checked it and the flash fired. I don't remember exactly, but I used it with K10D and/or K-7. I think that when I got K-5, I already had Metz SCA system flash that was replaced with Metz AF 50-1 not long ago. It is therefore logical to assume that in terms of discharge current/voltage it is safe for modern Pentax cameras. Oh, and by the way, the above is for general consumption :-).

A couple on Mall Development Companies have been going around the country building new malls also converting/upgrading older store blocks into malls. This is an upgrade.

Re: Mall Development
Alan, Traditional enclosed malls in the USA have been dead for the last 30 years. As the enclosed malls have reached 30-40 years in age, owners have looked to re-purpose them with a different mix of tenants. The bricks mortar retail environment is a mess here. E-shopping has replaced a lot of it and is killing profit margins. WalMart still builds 100,000+ square foot stores, but few others do. The real estate market was for strip malls (stores in a line with parking in front) or 'Power' malls - strip malls with a 100,000 sq ft anchor store parking. No more enclosed malls for us. You seem to be headed the other direction. Regards, Bob S. On Thu, Apr 3, 2014 at 11:58 AM, Alan C c...@lantic.net wrote: Many still do except they now use hunting rifles.

Re: Mall Development
Not entirely. While the hey-day of the enclosed shopping mall was in the 1980s, many larger regional malls are still going strong today. At least they are here in the U.S. mid-south. Smaller local malls began declining in the late 90s and many of them went by the wayside at the end of the first decade of this century. But some have survived as combination strip centers enclosed shopping arcades. The key seems to be whether they can re-invent themselves as mixed use residential, business, service shopping centers accessible to both pedestrians and automobiles ... essentially mini-urban areas.

Re: PESO - Mr. Mallard
Well everything's a native species somewhere. So in Oz and NZ Mallards are like Grackles here. I think you got the better part of the deal. On 4/3/2014 5:03 PM, Brian Walters wrote: Quoting P.J.

I was going to reply mentioning the same thing happening with our grey duck but I just learned that it's a different name for the same species as your black duck. Our property backs onto a river and if you saw how those bastards behaved during spring you'd shoot the lot. Not that I should judge nature in human terms...

Re: OT - What photo-scanner? -- help needed.
I think some versious of ICE will work with prints, but none will work with materials that have actual silver images. My brain is getting a bit fried, I know why it won't work but can't explain it at the moment. On 4/3/2014 5:39 PM, Igor Roshchin wrote: Thanks a lot to all who responded! So, it looks like everybody is happy with their Epson Perfection 500,550,600 models. One of the differences I see with this, higher end, compared to Epson Perfection - 37 model, is that they have ICE technology for removal of the dust from the negatives and transparent films. As far as I understand how it works, it is not applicable for non-transparent media. Right? Is there anything else that you find important in any 500-600 models compared to 37/370 ?

Hi All! I remember seeing some discussion about photoscanners on the list not too long ago, and so I thought some people wouldn't mind sharing their thoughts again. My brother is considering buying one and asked me for my advise. From what I know, slide scanning is not important, it will be primarily printed photos that will be scanned. Any suggestions as to what features/characteristics to look for and what to avoid? Any particular models? One of the models that he is considering is Epson Perfection V37. Any comments about it?
