Gardening is in the blood of the Lewes entrepreneur
Lewes resident Nick Pinyoun has always enjoyed gardening and in an effort to keep his plants healthy year round, he has created a mini-greenhouse, complete with sprinkler system. "My mom is an avid gardener," said Pinyoun. "I guess I got the bug from her." Pinyoun, a cook at Lewes Yacht Club with a background in engineering, started toying with the idea of mini-greenhouses after he finished enclosing the back porch at his house. He used heavy-duty plastic and decided the material could be used for other projects as well. He took PVC pipe and formed a frame, then covered it with the thick plastic, securing it in place with snaps. He also installed an overhead sprinkler system and found that the setup worked well to protect plants against harsh winter weather.
The LG VX9400 and Samsung u620
To watch TV in landscape mode and reveal the number pad, twist the front display clockwise. When closed, the two softkeys, clear and TV buttons, send and end keys as well as the directional pad are accessible (only the numbers are hidden under the display section). The design is interesting, and it's one of those you'll either love it or hate it things. The telescoping TV antenna is a whopper: thin but long with a large plastic end cap. Fortunately you need only raise this when watching TV. In a decent signal area you can get away with having the antenna at half mast with minor degradation, but you won't see or hear much of anything if the antenna is completely down. The display is superb: very sharp and clear with vivid colors and a glossy look. In general, LG phones have very good displays and the large 2.2" VX9400 display is at the top of the heap among feature phones.
