With literally thousands of new homes coming on to the market each day, how does your house stand out from the crowd?
Last year, on average, over 3,100 homes were brought to the market nationwide every single day. Clearly, your local geographic area will be a percentage of this, but it still shows how many properties your house has to compete with in the market.
When instructing an agent to sell your home, you are asking them to do two jobs; sell your home and market it.
Of course, an estate agent's primary role is to sell your home, starting from putting an accurate value on it, contacting buyers on their register, conducting professional viewings, negotiating the best price with the best buyer and of course liaising with all parties to encourage a smooth and efficient completion. However, an estate agent plays another key role in the sale of your home, marketing.
From the photos, to the brochures, the website descriptions and the window cards in offices, estate agents are presented with the task of showing your home at its very best.
The image we present of your home will be the very first impression that a potential buyer has. For this reason we need to ensure that it is presented in the very best light.
We continue to invest in new cameras to get the best photos, and utilise our in-house marketing department to create the most accurate written description of your home, but possibly even more importantly, we present your home in a completely unique way across the most popular property websites.
The majority of buyers these days, unsurprisingly, look to the internet as the first port of call in their search. Whilst we are constantly investing in our presence on Google, and receiving thousands of daily visitors to our websites, the majority of our buyers are going to be found on two websites; Rightmove and Zoopla.
Zoopla may be a relative newcomer, but over 90% of UK adults know the site, and throughout their partner sites such as Prime Location, receive 50 million visits per month. The leader of the gang, Rightmove, receives over 120million visits per month, putting it in the top 20 websites nationwide for visitor numbers.
Clearly, to reach your buyer you need to be on these websites, but with so many properties appearing each day, how do you stand out from the crowd?
We've identified four key areas across both Rightmove and Zoopla, the combination of which are completely unique to Mackenzie Smith within our branch network, meaning no other agent can offer this solution.
Firstly, to ensure your home is the first property someone sees, we simply put it at the top of the search. On Rightmove this is called a Featured Property. On average, 40% more people click through to read more about a home on a featured property in comparison to a standard listing, in essence it also doubles the chances of it being seen as it is featured in addition to a standard listing. On Zoopla, we present your home at the top of the search using a tool called featured agent, again this presents your home twice and is the first house someone searching will see.
Our second step to setting your property apart from the rest is a premium listing. We can use these on both Rightmove and Zoopla, making your home stand out from the crowd. This is done by highlighting the property box in a different colour, a larger in size presence, more photos and an overall enhanced profile. Statistically, a property has 20% more views if it is a premium listing.
In addition to Rightmove and Zoopla, through Zoopla's partner networks, your home is also advertised for sale across Prime Location, The Times, Telegraph, The Sunday Times, MailOnline, MSN, Mumsnet and many more.
Having worked in the industry for over 25 years, we know how important a first impression can be when selling a home, we also understand how important it is that you get the best offer from the best buyer. Presenting your home in this unique way does just this.
For more information on how we can get your property noticed, contact your local branch who will be happy to offer some informal advice or arrange a free valuation of your home at your convenience.

Robert De Niro celebrates his father at Aspen Ideas Fest
The Aspen Times
By the time Robert De Niro began winning acclaim as an actor in the early 1970s, his father, Robert De Niro Sr., had faded into obscurity as an artist.
De Niro Sr. had broken out among America's post-World War II avant-garde painters — shown alongside Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, championed by Peggy Guggenheim, hailed by top critics in the New York Times and ArtNews. But his uneasy relationship with his contemporaries, his battles with art dealers, and, most devastatingly, the rise of pop art in the '60s, assured he was soon forgotten. He died in 1993 from prostate cancer.
The 40-minute documentary "Remembering the Artist Robert De Niro, Sr." attempts to resurrect his legacy. De Niro screened the film Saturday night at the Aspen Ideas Festival, and discussed it afterward with director Perri Peltz, producer Jane Rosenthal, art advisor Megan Fox Kelly and the Paepcke Auditorium crowd.
"Part of recognition is luck," De Niro says early in the film.
De Niro said Saturday that the movie, shown earlier this month on HBO, began as a private production, intended only as a way to preserve his father's story for younger generations of De Niros.
"It wasn't intended to be a documentary for HBO or anyone," he explained. "It was for us."
Once he and the filmmakers saw what they had, however, they decided to share it with the world.
De Niro bought film footage of his dad from a man who followed the artist with a camera in the 1970s, and gave the material to Thelma Schoonmaker — Martin Scorsese's longtime editor — who put it in order. He gave his father's extensive journals to Peltz and Rosenthal.
The journals reveal De Niro Sr.'s frustration with the art world and his deep depression, along with his admission that he was gay. On Saturday, De Niro said he didn't know if his father ever found a satisfying romantic relationship.
"His alienation, if you will, was partially because of the sexual thing and partially because of just who he was — the feeling that he was an outsider in certain ways," De Niro said.
In the film, De Niro reads portions of the journals aloud. But other than those excerpts, the actor said he hasn't brought himself to read all of his father's notebooks.
"I don't know when I'll read all his journals," he said. "My kids might read them before I do. When I'm ready, I'll read them."
The film touches on De Niro's at-times distant relationship from his father. De Niro Sr. and the actor's mother, Virginia Admiral, separated by the time De Niro was 3. The actor would later attempt to help his father sell his work in Paris, and tried to force him to get treatment for his illness, but De Niro, in the film, expresses deep regret for not doing more.
Asked about their complex relationship Saturday, De Niro said, "He was a loving father. He was not a father who took me out to play baseball or these things. But he was, in his own way, loving, and his intentions were good."
It is somewhat startling to see the notoriously private actor — whose monosyllabic interview answers have prompted "Saturday Night Live" spoofs — open up in the film and on the auditorium stage to talk about himself, his family and his daddy issues. He did draw laughs and applause for a few characteristically blunt answers ("I had to do it, so that's it," was his complete answer to one audience question; "Some people get it, some don't" was another).
De Niro has preserved his father's studio in Manhattan, and has kept some of his paintings for the family, reserving others for museums. But most of his father's work remains for sale.
De Niro Sr.'s impressionistic, Matisse-influenced work is currently in a show at New York's DC Moore Gallery, including paintings from 1948 to 1989. The walls of his son's Greenwich Hotel are exclusively decorated with De Niro Sr.'s canvases (one audience member apologized to De Niro for stealing coaster prints of paintings from the TriBeCa property).
Though he didn't sell enough to support himself, De Niro Sr. had at least one show every year through his career, Kelly noted. De Niro said Saturday that he hopes the paintings, with help from the documentary, might grow to be valuable enough to be preserved.
"The more expensive the paintings and the artwork become, the more chance that they are an asset to the people who buy them, and they'll protect them, and they'll have a home," De Niro said. "I want them to be cherished the way he cherished them and I cherish them."
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

NFL And NCAA College Football Playoffs Games Need First Down Laser Systems Now
The NFL is down to the last month of the 2014 regular season and college football rivalry weekend has both fan and playoff consequences so the importance of getting first down and goal line calls correct by officials is paramount to a fair and impartial game outcome. I cannot speak for the many Sports Techie community blog readers and followers across the nation and world but for me, marking the correct spot of the ball has become a serious problem that not only affects the results of the game but causes teams to miss the playoffs and coaches to be fired. I believe this must be fixed with a sports technology product...Read More
Laser Leader Line Utilized Again At 2014 NCAA Track And Field National Championships
The Laser Leader Line returns to this year's 2014 NCAA Track and Field National Championships on June 11-14 at historic Hayward field on the University of Oregon Ducks campus in Eugene, Oregon. First Down Laser is the in-stadium and industrial use graphics company with 5 United States Patents Awarded and 6 United States Patents Pending in Laser Delineation Systems and Methods. The laser's inventor and company founder, Alan Amron, chatted again with the Sports Techie blog, this time while in Utah at his new mining clients site, about their pioneering sports technology business development...Read More
First Down Laser Systems, the in-stadium graphics designer that puts the first down line on the field in the stadium for all to see, is readying its demonstration models for trials with eager customers and the Sports Techie community blog is excited about this happening sooner than later. The 'green line', used so successfully at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in June, could revolutionize the way football is played, watched, and officiated. Legendary sports broadcaster Pat Summerall was someone I believe to be full Sports Techie at heart as his partnership and product endorsement of First Down Laser demonstrated to all...Read More
The First Down Laser and Laser Leader Line are the kind of technology that augments sports by helping to correct human error by officials and ensuring the ebb and flow of a game is not compromised by unnecessary instant replay. The LASERLINE would have prevented this delay in the Chic-fil-A Bowl game.
Chick-fil-A Bowl
Alan Amron, the Founder of FirstDownLaser.com mentioned to the Sports Techie blog that the Bowl game was called by ESPN'S DAVID POLLACK, JESSE PALMER and RECE DAVIS who are quoted as saying… "I still don't understand why they can't get like a Laser Beam from one side to the other to measure for the first downs"? Frankly, neither do I.

Since its appearance, technology has strived to intermingle with almost every area of human life. And even when you thought that was impossible, it did the same with sports. Sports fans were a bit frustrated at first, thinking that tech specialists would interrupt or even slow the game down. The Sports Techie community blog has championed sports tech for the past six years but really going on more than twenty years when you count my career.
The troublesome goals and seemingly equal race times, however, were much more irritating. Hence, sports technology became widely accepted soon after its first appearance. For betting enthusiasts, in particular, it managed to provide indisputable results, without giving them the opportunity to blame it on the betting services, such as NJ Casinos and many...Read More

Day 545: Big results.
1/ Trump said "no," he does not believe Russia is still targeting the U.S. with efforts to undermine American democracy, contradicting his director of national intelligence. Last week, Dan Coats said that "the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack." And, in particular, Russia is the "most aggressive foreign actor, no question. And they continue their efforts to undermine our democracy." Coats described Russia as one of the "worst offenders." Sarah Sanders said the Russian "threat still exists" and that Trump was saying "no" to answering more questions. Intelligence officials in the U.S. and U.K. also believe Russia is planning to ramp up digital operations targeting western countries now that the World Cup and the Trump-Putin Helsinki summit have ended. (Reuters / CNN / New York Times / Los Angeles Times)
"No," President Trump says when asked if Russia is targeting the US https://t.co/eszpyDpaDt— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) July 18, 2018
- Trump claimed he told Putin "we can't have meddling" when they met and that he believes it's "true" that Russia tampered with the 2016 presidential election and that he "would" hold Putin personally responsible for future interference. [Editor's note: I bet.] (CBS News)
2/ Trump defended his summit with Putin, tweeting that "people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki." The claim comes less than 24 hours after Trump attempted to backtrack and spin his statements that he mispoke and meant to say "I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be Russia" that interfered in the election. Trump promised "big results" and "many positive things." (Washington Post / New York Times)
So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki. Putin and I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meeting. We got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match. Big results will come!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2018
Trump crossed out a line about bringing those responsible for election hacking to justice in his statement correcting his remarks during his press conference with Putin. Trump prepared four pages of handwritten notes for his meeting with congressional leaders yesterday, part of which read "I have on numerous occasions noted our intelligence findings that Russians attempted to interfere in our elections. A̶n̶y̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶v̶o̶l̶v̶e̶d̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶m̶e̶d̶d̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶i̶c̶e̶." Trump used a black marker to cross out the part about bringing the hackers to justice. (Washington Post)
European newspapers described Trump as "weak," a "poodle," and a "stooge" following his summit with Putin. (ABC News)
Putin also claimed he misspoke about his claim that Hillary Clinton's campaign had received $400 million in donations from investors accused of tax evasion in Russia. According to the Russian government, Putin "meant" to say that U.S.-born investor William Browder had donated $400,000 to Clinton's campaign, which also appears to be inflated. (The Intercept)
3/ The woman charged with secretly acting as a Russian intelligence official offered "sex in exchange" for influence at "a special interest organization" the FBI referred to as a "gun rights organization." Prosecutors argue that Butina "engaged in a yearslong conspiracy to work covertly in the U.S. as an undeclared agent of the Russian federation to advance the interests of her home country." Her actions are believed to have been directed by Alexander Torshin, one of Putin's closest allies, who the U.S. sanctioned in April. Butina and Torshin were also frequent attendees at NRA conventions. Butina is believed to have "cohabited and been involved in a personal relationship" with an unnamed U.S. person for the purpose of developing an influence operation. Her partner is believed to be Paul Erickson, a conservative activist and NRA member from South Dakota. (New York Times / Wall Street Journal / NBC News / ABC News / Washington Post)
A federal magistrate judge ordered that Maria Butina must be jailed ahead of her trial after prosecutors argued she was "an extreme risk of flight" and should be held without bond during her appearance in federal court. Prosecutors said she was ready to move out out of the country, had her boxes packed, terminated her lease, and wired money from her bank account back to Russia. (NPR / New York Times)
The Justice Department added a second charge against Russian national Maria Butina of acting as an unregistered foreign agent of the Kremlin since at least 2015. Butina was charged on Monday with conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government. Butina was arrested on Sunday because she appeared to have plans to flee the U.S. (Politico / Washington Post)
4/ Democrats want the interpreter from Trump's private meeting with Putin to testify before Congress. "I'm calling for a hearing with the U.S. interpreter who was present during President Trump's meeting with Putin to uncover what they discussed privately," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen tweeted. Rep. Joe Kennedy echoed Shaheen's calls: "And that was only what we saw on live TV. @realDonaldTrump's translator should come before Congress and testify as to what was said privately immediately." (CNN / HuffPost)
5/ Trump questioned why NATO should come to the defense of smaller alliance members like Montenegro if it came under attack. "Montenegro is a tiny country with very strong people," Trump said when asked whether the U.S. would come to the country's defense. "They're very aggressive people. They may get aggressive, and congratulations you're in World War III." The only time NATO invoked Article Five – an "armed attack" on one member "shall be considered an attack against them all" – was after the U.S. was attacked on 9/11. (NBC News / CNN / Washington Post)

There may be threats of war elsewhere around the globe, but in the Azusa City Council chambers, there is peace at last.
The battle of the consent calendar is over.
For months, three council members had ritualistically walked off the council platform in silent protest whenever the calendar was read aloud. But despite the protests by Councilmen John R. Dangleis, Harry Stemrich and Anthony Naranjo--who said the reading wasted too much time--Councilman Stephen J. Alexander insisted on reading the calendar.
Alexander said reading the calendar, a number of routine items to be approved by the council in a single vote, fostered greater understanding and helped the vision impaired.
But after his fellow council members on Monday voted 4 to 1 to ban the readings, Alexander agreed to abide by the new rule.

Creating A Good Research Paper On Gambling From Scratch
Research papers on gambling usually add a plenty of stress to students' schedule. This is a complicated kind of an assignment, so you need time to complete it and some knowledge about gambling to make it a great work. If you want to impress your professor, you should create your writing from scratch and add details from reliable sources.
The following guidelines will help you complete your assignment on time:
- Don't skip the preparation stage before you start writing.
- Compose an outline after you come up with a research topic.
- Conduct a comprehensive background study.
- Write the first draft quickly.
- Edit and proofread your research paper.
Many students start writing as soon as they can while it's better to prepare a working plan first. You should read the instructions provided by your professor, split the whole process into manageable parts, and set due dates for each one. It's a good idea to make a checklist. However, make sure that you include everything that you need to do in it.
Although gambling might seem an easy topic to work on, you should select a paper topic carefully. Then, you should write down your research question and the key points that you'll concentrate on while writing your assignment. It makes sense to structure the ideas you have and briefly write what you need to put into each section.
Even if you like gambling, you should conduct a background study to learn more about the subject. For instance, gambling rules and regulations differ from country to country, so it's important to clarify what you're writing about in your research paper. Try to use only reliable sources and remember to cite all the ideas and facts that you borrow.
Your first draft might contain mistakes and lack some details. However, you'll save time significantly if you write everything down first and revise it later. You don't have to write in a right order. Most students write in any order they like or want. Usually, it's easier to complete main sections first, then write a conclusion, and the introduction last.
Editing and proofreading shouldn't be hard. However, it's advisable to get a dictionary since gambling terminology is specific, so you might need to clarify some terms and concepts. Make sure to check the spelling of words. If you aren't good at finding mistakes in your own writing, you can ask your friends to help you check your research paper.

Watch out for slight price increases in Cod, Sword, Wild Stp Bass, and Fluke. Weather is affecting the landings out there as whitecaps and wind prevent guys from going out. Right now the increases are weak, but could continue into next week.
Onaga is in house today. The fish are running 2-4lbs and looking stunning. They are caught off of Hawaii and are sushi quality.
Wahoo is in from Florida, we have one fish available, 35lbs
Softshells are coming down in price, WhiteBait is available, and the Escolar is looking great
Blackfish is in house, fish came in covered still in slime and rigor, Tile fish is running pristine and it is the Gray variety
Wild Kings will not be available tomorrow, but we will have Wild Sockeye and Wild Steelhead available
Scallops are still a little spotty, prices are up, and Mahi is also tightening with price increasing
Turbot and Tazmanian Trout will be available tomorrow, Halibut is running solid, mostly 20-30lb fish, and look for lobster prices to be dropping

NFI Stands Up
Sustainable Seafood on NOAA's Menu
One of these new appointments is Steve Schafer. I know Steve personally and I am confident that he will bring fresh insight and a new outlook to the council. He is a person of great integrity and reason. I think that any fears that might be raised by the commercial fishing industry will be allayed when they get to know this intelligent and thoughtful person.
Steve's focus has always been to help to educate the consumer on the benefits of moving seafood to a more sustainable resource. Based upon the press release below from NOAA, I would say that Steve fills that role well. Congratulations are in in order and well deserved.
June 25, 2009
The Commerce Department today announced the appointment of 30 new and returning members to the eight regional fishery management councils – important partners with NOAA's Fisheries Service in determining how ocean fisheries are managed.
The councils, established by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, create comprehensive plans for marine fish stocks in their regions. Among their goals is to fulfill the act's charge to end overfishing of 41 stocks by 2010. NOAA's Fisheries Service works closely with the councils during plan development and also reviews, approves and implements the management plans developed by the councils.
"We welcome the new and returning appointees to these important councils. They play a critical role in ensuring sustainable marine fisheries, which are in turn vitally important to coastal communities and coastal economies," said Jane Lubchenco, Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. "This is an exciting and challenging time for fishery management, and the councils' efforts ensure that the public is well represented in this process. These are the experts--fishermen and scientists, leaders in their regions--who will help us achieve sustainable fisheries and maintain vibrant fishing communities."
Council members represent diverse interests - commercial and recreational fisheries, environmental concerns and academia. The Secretary of Commerce selects a total of 72 appointed members to the eight regional councils. Thirty are being named or reappointed for the next term, which begins on August 11.
Each year, NOAA's Fisheries Service solicits nominations from the governors of fishing states and oversees the annual appointment process. The secretary must select council members from the list of nominees provided by the governors to fill obligatory and at-large seats that have become available due to an expiring term, a resignation or other reasons. Obligatory seats are state-specific, while at-large seats can be filled by a person from any of the states in the region. Council members serve three-year terms, and may be reappointed to serve up to three consecutive terms. Approximately one-third of the terms expire annually. An asterisk (*) indicates a reappointment.
New England Council
The New England Council includes members from the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. The appointees for 2009 fill obligatory seats for Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island and one at-large seat.
Obligatory seats:
*Rodney M. Avila (Mass.)
*Sally E. McGee (Conn.)
*David E. Preble (R.I.)
*James A. Odlin (Maine)

The Stripers are Coming
Wild striped bass season opened July 1st for New York commercial fishermen. While we have had striped bass in the New York market for some time the opening of the local fish will help drive prices downward. Look for prices to drop after Independence day. Striped bass (Morone saxatilis), also known as rockfish to some are one of the east coasts most valuable species. Striped bass was once over fished but over the past ten years most states have implemented strict guidelines for the commercial sales of this fish as well as fair catch limits for the recreational fisherman. However this fragmented regulation from state top state has made enforcement difficult. Below is a list of some Northeast state regulations.

My bestie recently got back from Barcelona and he brought me back this scarf. I should have taken a photo of it all spread out. It's huge! I love it.
It's simple, but I love the colors together–black, white, red & blue. I instantly thought of pairing it with my red vintage blazer.
When i was spring cleaning my closet earlier this week, I came across this skirt I bough from Rainbow for $5. At the time that I bought it, it was way too tight and short. Now, it fits me perfectly fine. (Well, maybe still a little short lol!) I thre on my black cowboy-esque boots from Avenue for $32.50.
I am in love with turbans. I've always collected scarves, so now I have a new way of wearing my prettiest ones. Do you love rocking a turban every now and again?

The Hundreds 2014 Fall Lookbook
Perennial Californian streetwear brand The Hundreds is here to present its 2014 fall lookbook.
Perennial Californian streetwear brand The Hundreds is here to present its 2014 fall lookbook. Looking back to the pre-digital revolution, The Hundreds drew its inspiration from a time in which style was directly influenced by one's particular taste in music. "Music meant a lot more to youth during this time because it wasn't just something you listened to, but something you lived," said Bobby Hundreds. From flannels and chinos to camouflage and puffers, we can see obvious nods to late '80s, early '90s West Coast hip-hop and mid-'90s East Coast hip-hop scenes. What's more is that this cold-weather offering also expands on the label's classic cut and sew line – something we've been assured will only continue to evolve. Be on the lookout for The Hundreds' 2014 fall collection to hit its flagship locations, online shop and authorized retailers on Thursday, July 31.

…I present a dive into robocalls/phone scams, through podcasts I listened to over the weekend.
First, Planet Money, episode 789 (Robocall Invasion). Then, Reply All, episodes 102 (Long Distance) and 103 (Long Distance, Part II).
I spend a great deal of time poking at hidden things. I open cans of worms; I kick hornet's nests; I turn over rocks to see what lies wriggling underneath. And, I ask questions – tons and tons of questions, sometimes to the dismay of my colleagues, and my family, and my friends. I hold the flashlight and shine it right into the face of things that are more comfortable in darkness, in the secret places where they cannot be examined.
Some of this is innate – I am a curious person, and examining something from every conceivable angle until I *know* it fills me with the kind of ecstasy most ascribe to moments of a more…intimate nature. And, don't get me wrong – I enjoy sex as much as anyone, and perhaps more than many…but the perfect blend of the emotional and the physical that so many of my loved ones ascribe to it is, for me, found in that first perfect moment when I truly understand something new.
This, as one might assume, means that I am sometimes extremely difficult to be around. When active avoidance of a topic is the MO, I have to deliberately focus to not only not see the elephant in the room, but also keep from asking it questions about how it got onto the elevator.
It also means, though, that I am a Very Useful Tool, and that some of the Powers That Be have a vested interest in keeping me in good repair. My boss at my day job, for example, knows I will dig deeply into anything he asks me to investigate and bring back every single piece of information available. My boss' boss, the head of Quality Assurance for our company, has come to welcome me greeting him with, "I opened another can." They both know, as does anyone who works with me, that I will worry a thing until it breaks open and reveals its creamy center, and that benefits almost everyone involved.
Mmmmmm….creamy center….*drools*
Outside of my day job, I remain a Very Useful Tool. This thing I do, this poking, and prodding, and questioning, and untangling, brought me the attention of the netjeru before I knew that they were available to me as more than a list of Names in a book of mythology. It brought me Work to Do that was ecstatic and transformative, but wrapped to make it seem smaller and less critical than it turned out to be. It is the primary way I uphold ma'at, the concept that is so critical to Kemetic practice. It is integral to my FlameKeeping work – the Dark Flame Wayfinder guides through the nebulous so the seeker can see the infinite potential(s) waiting for them. It forms the foundation of my web work – how can I know what to untangle and what to leave in place if I don't ask the question, or at least get right up against the threads to trace where they are connected?
To ask, to kick, to nudge, to pry – these are not without consequences. For every piece of knowledge gained, for every insight, there is something better left unknown, or untouched. My head is filled with things I'd rather forget but cannot, and I'm reminded of some platitude about being unable to put knowledge back where it belongs. Once opened, a box can never return to its unopened state…but then again, I've always found Pandora to be a kindred spirit, and wasn't Hope at the bottom of that box anyway?
I am the one who Questions, and I have no regrets. The reward is worth a thousand stings.
Apotheosis in Tamriel is not limited to Talos, who was Tiber Septim before becoming one of the Nine. Indeed, Reman Cyrodiil, now called the Worldly God, was known before Ysmir: first as the greatest hero of the Akaviri Invasion of the First Era, and then as the ruler of the Second Empire. Under his dynasty, the Empire conquered all the kingdoms of Tamriel save for Morrowind…and it was Morrowind, and the Morag Tong, that led to his demise.
(Interestingly, Cyrodiil is not named for Reman as many believe. Instead, he took Cyrod, the ancient Ayleid name of the heartlands, as his surname.)
There is no obvious cult of Reman these days, but he was worshiped alongside Talos as a conquerer-god, and there is documentation to support this worship dating from as late as the first century of the Third Era. His rise to godhood stems from the heroic acts of his life – in addition to routing the Akaviri, who called him Dragonborn and swore their loyalty, Reman created the rites associated with ascension to Emperor and is credited with the creation of the Amulet of Kings. Scholars disagree on whether Reman held or was held by the Amulet, but it none can contest that the process of becoming Emperor is his.
When we look at the cultural god-kings of a prior civilization, it is useful to examine the qualities they embody. Reman, like so many other deified beings, was a hero who freed Cyrodiil from an invading force and brought prosperity to its people…from the Imperial point of view, anyway. This raises the question of similarity between practices for the cult of Reman and others – the archaic and classical hero-cults of Greece, for example, or the imperial cults of Rome – and I feel confident in saying that those who desire to worship Reman in such a way will do so with the Worldly God's blessing. However, I prefer to think of the qualities not specifically mentioned that nevertheless would have been crucial to his success, and to base my approach to him on those very things.
As an example, consider that Reman is said to have convinced the Akaviri to support him in the founding of the Empire, and the actions documented by historians appear to bear that out. His powers of persuasion were significant, and the ability to sway others to my cause, to cause them to focus on what I want to accomplish, is something that I use in my work each day. It should be no wonder, then, that I look to Reman to strengthen my ability to persuade others that what I ask of them is both reasonable and desirable.
(For any who consider me cold for admitting these things, look to the nature of corporate America and understand that the channels I go through to implement processes and programs require this type of action. I am good at my job.)
For ideas on how to incorporate the worship of Reman into your personal practice, I recommend looking to modern worship of other deified mortals such as Heracles, or Gaius Julius Caesar.
Once Upon a Time, in days both ancient and forgotten, a woman sought to drag her pop culture paganism into the light by writing about the gods of Tamriel for the period of a year. That project was never finished.
<cue ominous and tense music>
In reality, not so dramatic. There were mitigating factors, not the least of which was my online religious community changing in a way that made me leave it and the subsequent fallout from that. After all, the stroll through Tamriel was part of a blog project that started in that very community. And those ancient and forgotten days were actually in 2015 and the writing stopped almost exactly a year ago (last post was on Peryite, on the 26th of August, 2015).
Lately, I've been spending more time in The Commonwealth than Tamriel, and it was during a brush with the Children of Atom that I started thinking (again!) about the influence of video games on pop culture paganism…and it made me want to start the project up again!
(or, at least, finish what I started.)
I'm planning to complete the Tamriel project by writing about it, off and on, for the remainder of the year. I started with ALMSIVI in January 2015 – let's see if I can make it to Zenithar in December 2016.
I wasn't going to write about this.
I wasn't going to write about this, because so many have said it, and said it well: that polytheism is not a monolith; that there is no "culture of polytheism"; that those who put themselves up on some holier-than-thou plinth are likely to have it crumble beneath them.
I wasn't going to write about this, but…
But, if I remain silent, I subvert my own beliefs and practices. But, if I subvert my own beliefs and practices, I am allowing others to hold sway. But, if I allow others to hold sway, I may as well strip the mantle from myself and go back to stepping exactly where someone else steps, and…
And, fitting myself into someone else's skin is not my polytheism. And, applying concepts that do not fit and adhering to arbitrary bullshit determined by those who do not believe what I do is not my polytheism. And, letting others speak for me rather than speaking myself is not my polytheism.
It may not be complete or understandable, but it is mine.
Peaceful Awakenings: Reflections of Egypt
Maybe I have the words I didn't have when I pulled this quote. Maybe. Because maybe it's enough to blame Set for a natural death, to put the devil on trial there, but there are times this is not adequate, there must be co-defendants. (And I am pondering my thoughts here in relation to this post on blaming the devil.)
On a cosmic level: put the ur-murderer on trial. Sure. Rage and scream and tell Him we hate this and that He has done something we cannot forgive. Let us do our rituals to cast this out onto Someone who can take it, and who can take it away, the holy scapegoat of our tradition.
But we do not live on the cosmic level. And if we listen to Him, we can be certain that He will agree with another chaos force and say, "OH. WELL…

5 Reasons Why Surveillance Installation is Essential for Your Business
With the increase in crime rates, surveillance has become essential in today's world. Businesses need to have their offices guarded by CCTV cameras to make sure that the employees work in a safe environment. If you are wondering why else your business needs extra security, well then here are five reasons why you should install a surveillance camera in your office:
Deterrent to Crime
CCTV cameras act are deterrents to crime. They help the company in safeguarding their important and vulnerable areas and keep intruders from accessing these areas. Surveillance inside the company is also helpful and beneficial for the company, as well as, the employees. Keeping a check on the employees and their activities will reduce crimes that take place within the organization.
Employees' Safety
Surveillance will help the employees in working in a safe environment. With the cameras installed, no harassment and abuse incidents will go unnoticed. Additionally, installing cameras in the parking lot will also help in ensuring if the employees reached their vehicle safely or not. Every person who walks in the office is monitored through the surveillance cameras, providing safety to the employees.
Supervisors and managers use surveillance to monitor employees' performance. It helps in determining areas of improvement and also assists them to keep a check on employee activities; whether they are performing their daily tasks, following company's rules or not and identifies areas where employees should be trained.
Hiding from CCTV cameras happens only in Hollywood movies, not in real life! Being monitored by multiple cameras, escaping a surveillance system is impossible. For businesses, a surveillance system acts as a protector and assures proper safety to the company's most vulnerable areas. For effective security system, surveillance companies send their best technicians to companies for assuring a proper CCTV setup.
Remote Surveillance
With the technological advancements today, companies can make use of remote surveillance and keep an eye on their property in real time. You can either connect your surveillance system to a computer at home or even to your mobile to keep a check on the safety of your property. When on vacations, you can keep a check on employee behavior and productivity and take necessary actions.

Breakthrough Envigilant Systems™ Technology Platform Demonstrated at Smart Cities Week® Conference
Allied Telesis, a recognized innovator of secure networking technologies for an Internet of Things (IoT) – driven world, was recognized on Monday by the White House for its part in a significant public/private partnership in Silicon Valley. Allied Telesis, together with the San Francisco 49ers, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), City of Santa Clara, Santa Clara Police Department and Arini Geographics, have teamed up to create a smarter, safer Levi's® Stadium and a smarter, safer public transit system in advance of Super Bowl 50. State-of-the-art technology has been deployed at strategic locations throughout Santa Clara County as part of the revolutionary venture. This public/private partnership will serve as a blueprint for other cities to create smarter and safer cities.
The Envigilant Systems™ platform, which integrates exclusive safety and security technology, was launched to meet security challenges that solve emerging threats to public safety within transit systems and public venues. Allied Telesis developed the game-changing technology that allows law enforcement and transit authorities to have better situational awareness and interoperability to keep the public safe. With the IoT connecting people and devices, Allied Telesis has engineered a way to analyze, visualize and communicate data in real time for all stakeholders involved.
"As the innovation capital of America, Silicon Valley is once again pushing the technology boundaries of what is possible. In preparing for Super Bowl 50, our region is putting in place the cutting edge technology solutions to keep residents and visitors safe and secure." said Mr Congressman Mike Honda. "The local partnership recognized by the White House will not only improve security around one of the world's highest profile events, but will also set a new standard for how law enforcement agencies work collaboratively to improve public safety and situational awareness."
Allied Telesis highlighted its new Envigilant™ technology platform at the Smart Cities Week® Conference and Exhibition at the Renaissance Washington, D.C. Downtown Hotel, September 15 – 16. As a Platinum sponsor of the inaugural event, the Company also featured Mark Brule, Envigilant Chief Application Architect, presenting in the Exhibition Hub Theater Session Track-Mobile Video, Sensor Integration and Visualization:
The Internet of Things and its utility for safety and security
Off-boarding mobile video in real time for enhanced situational awareness
Eliminating data silos with standards-based web service exchanges
Mr Takayoshi Oshima, Chairman and CEO at Allied Telesis commented, "When we looked at some of the public safety challenges in preparation for Super Bowl 50, it was clear that the private sector could play a critical role in developing technology to solve a problem. Our Envigilant line of solutions is designed to improve situational awareness for law enforcement and first responders and given that our North America headquarters are within a few miles of Levi's Stadium, we are honored to partner with the 49ers, VTA and the City of Santa Clara in keeping the community safe."

You know you have seen this saying on a hat, coffee mug, or somewhere out there on social media but lately it has really stuck out to me. I feel like my last few posts have been beating myself up that I cant find my fitness routine and miles have been hard to come by but I think the real problem is that I have gotten away from what I really love to do- RUN!
For some reason I have been putting pressure on myself to do different things and for what? A few weekends ago I had a back-to-back 5k weekend! It was awesome and I had FUN! Saturday, October 24th I participated in the Harvest Hustle that took place at Fifer's Orchard in Camden, Delaware and it was GREAT! I decided I was going to "race" and try my best for a good time! I ended up crossing the 3.1 mark right at 27:00 and I was super happy with that! While not a PR it was definitely a time that I was proud of. The venue was a neat place for the race. You probably remember all my posts about my CSA box and the program I took part of this summer. This is the farm that organizes the program! The farm itself is beautiful and the smell of hot, fresh apple cider donuts at 7:30 AM did not hurt either. My sister ran the race as well pushing baby G and dominating like a champ! Her husband, as well as few ladies from the Delmarva Moms RUN This town group also came up to race- which by the way dominated with some age group awards! Way to go ladies!
The following day I also participated in a free run that the local hospital organized. It was the perfect temperature for a race-not to hot and not too cold! Despite some clouds and few rain drops near the end the race was great! This time I was pushing the double stroller with both littles so my time was naturally slower but none the less not short on fun! Sweet little Tanner made it his personal goal to tell every person we saw "Happy Halloween" and Reagan decided she would take the opportunity to eat all her snacks + Tanner's!
Going into that run I decided I would just make it a fun run and not worry about anything else. Pushing the kids in an organized run is kind of like a box of chocolates… you never know what you are going to get!
The best part of the weekend was doing what I love- Running! Fast, slow, with the stroller, in a race- it was all great!
Since the double run weekend finding time to fit in runs or anything has been sparse. Life is just busy and honestly at this time I would rather sleep then get up at 4:30 to get it done. I guess back to the slogan of "do what you love, love what you do" I love getting sleep and being rested for my day- so hey sleep it is my friends! I have snuck in a few treadmill runs here and there because sometimes it is the quickest way to get it done and an excuse to wear my new and super cute Sweatdropracer tank from SweatPink! I really do love this thing- it is comfortable AND a little bit longer to cover the bootayyy! If you are in the market for a cute racer bank tank definitely look this one up at the Sweat Pink Store and use the code SWEATDROPRACER15 to save 15% off!
As we are quickly moving into Fall one of my favorite races of all time is coming up quickly- The Annapolis Running Classic. instead of being all worried about setting a PR or any of that I am looking forward to spending roughly 2 hours with my Best Running Friends and Sole Mates as we pound the pavement through beautiful Annapolis and enjoy the amazing after party! It is still not too late to join us (KJREF15 saves 10%)! Shortly after Annapolis it will be time for the Rehoboth Beach Half Marathon! This will be my first time running this so I am looking forward to keeping it local! Do you have any fun fall races coming up?
I finally feel content that I have figured out what it is that I need to do and that is just do what I love and RUN!

My name is Lowell, I have owned my own construction company for 35 years. Started brush hogging and lot maintenance about 10 years ago. Have ownly done wide area mowing and clearing. Smallest job 12 acres. Business has slowed because of the drought (midwest) so am looking to do smaller jobs. Any advice would be helpful.Willing to help anyone about wide area mowing. Thanks
No announcement yet.
New here
new posts
Do you already have finish cut mowers? Or do you plan on using the bush hog?
Finish mowers
I own 2 zero turn mowers a 50" and 60" I also have a 84" for my tractor. I already own all the equipment. May need to get a 36" walk behind yet? I own and mow 6 acres of wooded land. Also have A JD 316 that I have a mounted sprayer on and also a Trac Vac leaf vac on.
it sounds like your off to a good start then. Youll be fine without the walkbehind.
Not much money in mowing small yards. I would focus on multi acres and businesses. You got the equipment for it no need to think small.
Welcome to our forum! Have you gotten some business cards made up yet? Also have you started to tell everyone you know that you are expanding into residential lawn care (if that is what you mean by smaller jobs)?
Also, have you put together a website? There are free lawn care website templates available for download on this site.
Have you done a walk through your neighborhood and either stuck a business card in your neighbor's door or maybe even used a flyer?

I have added this as a divison to my construction company. Still using same business cards. Here's why: I do alot of building maintenance was thinking lawn care would add another service for my customers. Have all equipment already for my own use. Do alot of rough mowing for banks, and goverment owned properties on a large scale, thought maybe could get some of their work also. Simple thought is: 1call does it all.
Good or bad? Let me know
I think its a good idea! It's 1 more service you can add to get your name out there. The revenue would be constant, which is a bonus.
Who knows what the future holds, but if both seem to take off and do very well, theres always the option to have someone run the residential side of things.
Since you already have the equipment for it, theres no additional costs.
It's great you are experimenting with all of this. Keep us posted on what you find and how you like it.- Subscribe to my Lawn Care Marketing Blog Feed and get daily tips sent to you. Free!

The thing(s) to watch this week
No, not the qualification matches for the Soccer World Cup 2014. I mean the start of the hearings over the legality of the ECB's OMT program in the context of the German constitutional law. It will be a battle of economists – Jens Weidmann (Bundesbank) against Jörg Asmussen (ECB).
This wil be exciting enough, but it is also exciting (and potentially worrying) to see what the markets are going to do regarding the allaged quantitative limit on OMT operations. Any confirmation that the ECB's bazooka may in fact, a smaller gun than presumed, may trigger again increases in bond spreads, which will be very painful, also for the Dutch banks in particular. Furthermore, it will once more show that this muddling through doesn' work.

Life has been kinda crazy the past month or so. We felt homeless for a couple of weeks because we were in the process of moving. We bounced between our families' homes and mooched meals and holiday goodies off of them. Thankfully they didn't seem too mad about it :). Now that we've had a couple of weeks to settle in and such I wanted to sum up some of our favourite memories from this holiday season…
- Hitting the halfway mark!
As of December 23rd I officially am at 20 weeks! I honestly think I was more excited about this mile marker than Christmas haha. I don't know if it was the constant nausea or just that we're so excited to meet our baby, but I feel like the first half of pregnancy has just dragged on and on. But now I officially feel like I'm sporting a bump, the nassau has died down, and I'm on the downhill side of the countdown to meeting our baby…all this just made hitting 20 weeks feel like a holiday of its own!
2. First Christmas with the Sherwoods
Last Christmas we spent Christmas Eve/Day with my fam, which meant this year was Tanner's family's turn. We enjoyed spending our last Christmas as one of the kids being spoiled by Tanner's family. Of course most of our presents had a baby-theme to them…but we're not complaining. Thanks for the memories guys 🙂
3. Shyler
My little sister Shannon brought home her boyfriend Tyler for New Years. We were all pretty excited to meet him, since we had a pretty good idea that he was planning on gifting her with something sparkly sometime during the holidays… luckily we loved him and think they are perfect together! Also, I'm happy to report that he updated his status from boyfriend to fiancé before the end of their visit…
4. Leaving the bunker
As I mentioned before, we moved during the holidays. Our new landlords let us slowly move our stuff in during the holidays, but we couldn't officially move in till January 1st. This was nice because we didn't have to haul all our stuff over in one shot…but it also made it feel like the move that never ended. We spent our New Years Eve cleaning our old place till about 11pm…we know how to party hard. But the next morning we came over for one last pic in our little love nest, before handing over the keys. It was a bittersweet moment leaving our first home together…but hey I dedicated a whole blog post to that
5. Enjoying our last Christmas just the two of us
We are so, so, SO excited to meet our little baby. So excited that I think sometimes I forget to enjoy this last stage in life where our lives will revolve around just us. Tanner and I went out for breakfast one morning just the two of us so we could get some 'us' time between all the family time. It's crazy to think that this time next year we won't be able to do spontaneous things like that…or least we'll have to take a little person into consideration when we do. For now I'm trying to enjoy all our uninterrupted netflix-and-snuggles nights and making memories just the two of us.
Here's the round up from 2014, and here's to looking forward to all that 2016 is going to bring!
PS. We also tried this escape-room thing with my family. It was so hard/ exciting to try something new! I know they've cropped up all over the place with different names, but if you're ever in Kelowna we recommend trying it…but also be prepared to be confused!

Apparently it comes as shocking news to the Left to be told that they don't have the right to "protest" (defined by the Left as loudly interrupting someone else's right to free speech) at private rallies organized for the purpose of allowing a speaker to express his opinions for those who wish to hear it. Interfering with the rights of others to express or hear certain views is something the bullies on the Left believe is just one of their many, many entitlements. The headline, originated at Politico and then covered on today's front page at Huffpo, was as follows:
"Trump lawyer: 'No right' to protest at rallies"
If you know anything about leftwing journalism you might have guessed that this headline is just a bit off the mark. The true essence of what Trump's lawyers are arguing, if we're to sum it up in one line, is that there's no constitutionally protected right to disrupt a privately sponsored event. But the truth never serves to advance the Left's agenda and the sheep, after all, must be kept with the herd, so……
Here's the story. Trump is being sued by a group of protesters who disrupted his private rally in Louisville, Kentucky during his presidential campaign. They claim they were roughed up when they were forcibly removed from the venue by Trump supporters following Trump's call to ""get 'em out of here!" Thus their boo-boos are Trump's fault, according to the suit, even though Trump immediately followed his instruction by saying, "Don't hurt 'em." Trump's lawyers have responded by asserting that Trump has the First Amendment right to speak at his own rally and has no obligation to allow dissenters to have a voice in the assembly. Furthermore, they contend, Trump was within his rights to call for the removal of the protestors and his simple instruction was not an inducement to violence, particularly since he expressly requested that they not be hurt. (and need I point out that if the disrupters had left voluntarily there would have been no need for violence?).
Makes sense to me! The leftists want the sheep to see this as evidence that Trump and his supporters suppress free speech (fascists!), but a rational person looking at the facts would see that in reality it's the other way around. No one is preventing people from peacefully protesting in a public place or even in a private forum where they have permission to be. The Trump campaign presumably paid for the use of the venue to hold their rally, which means they're entitled to call the shots. Nothing prevents the protestors from securing their own venue if they sincerely want to engage in freedom of expression; but of course sincerity is not a quality valued by the Left. What they really want is to prevent Donald Trump from being heard and to force their own expressions upon Trump's audience. That's how "free speech" works in the leftist world, because the true free exchange of information is the Left's worst enemy. And they call us the fascists. Take a quick look at the comments at the conclusion of Huffpo's article if you doubt my characterization of the mentality we're dealing with.
By the way, here is exactly what it says in Trump's motion:
"Of course, protestors have their own First Amendment right to express dissenting views,
but they have no right to do so as part of the campaign rally of the political candidates they oppose.
Indeed, forcing the "private organizers" of a political rally to accept everyone "who wish[es] to
join in with some expressive demonstration of their own" would "violate[] the fundamental rule
of protection under the First Amendment, that a speaker has the autonomy to choose the content
of his own message."
Oh the horror and indignation! Next thing you know they'll be telling the leftists they can't burn cars or destroy other people's property. It's fascism! It's blasphemy! Can it be that the rest of the country still doesn't understand that only leftists have rights, and the rules don't apply to them? Oh the frustration!
I don't suppose there's any point to mentioning the hecklers who were ejected from Hillary Clinton's speech, or from Bill Clinton's speech in 2008, or from Barack Obama's speech in 2015 (all leftwingers, by the way), or asking Huffpo commenters if Obama and the Clintons are "fascists" for having the disrupters removed? Nah, there's no point.
The Left's guerilla war is being waged in our courts, where they hope to be aided and abetted by officials who, ironically, are paid by the very people they are encouraged to betray. Irony is never in short supply these days. Quite honestly I couldn't care less if the "protestors" were injured while being evicted from the rally they were trying to disrupt. When you're hurt or your rights are violated while you're attempting to violate the rights of someone else, you're not entitled to sympathy or recompense in my book. Justice has already been served.
That's what I learned at the Huffington Post (and Politico) today, where it's always an enlightening place to visit.

Ease On Down: The Best Ways To Overcome Sexual Performance Anxiety
Believe it or not, anxiety, stress and nervousness are common contributors to a poor sexual performance, and this is a fact that many rarely take into consideration. The body does a good job at responding to sexual stimulants, but if the mind is not in sync with it sex will prove to be difficult.
One piece of advice I like to give to those that I coach about sexual performance is to RELAX, yet so many struggle to do this before sex. A little focus on relaxation can go a long way in improving sexual skill. Here are my top three tips on how to relax before going into sex.

ABB responding to market demands from across the rail sector, have introduced a new range of corrosion-resistant composite fittings from Adaptaflex for applications in exposed areas.
The PCC and PCF range of cable protection fittings, benefit from increased strength by combining nickel plated brass with impact modified glass filled nylon materials. Significantly this also reduces the product weight by up to 50% when compared with traditional metal alternatives such as steel, whilst providing comparable or higher impact resistance against traditional cast iron fittings.
Designed for use with either coarse (PCC) or fine (PCF) corrugated conduit in sizes 13mm to 54mm, the new fittings have been specifically designed for robust, long-term service in exposed areas such as at trackside and on bogies and trams. Available as straight, 45° and 90° swivel elbows, the nickel-plated brass ends of the fittings are constructed to offer optimised strength and impact resistance.
The body of the fitting is a modular, compression-type fitting manufactured in glass-filled, impact-modified PA66 for its strength and impact resistance properties. The modularity of the compression-type fitting allows flexibility configurations to be created, locking components together into a single, sealed unit with exceptional pull-out strength, guaranteeing long-term integrity while also allowing 360° rotation. Completing the new fittings, are Neoprene seals selected for their ingress protection and excellent chemical stability properties over a wide temperature range.
Extensively evaluated and currently in use on tram and light rail projects such as France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain and Edinburgh and Sheffield tram projects in the UK, the components are certified for key industry standards, such as UR, IEC61386 and ISO60529. Experience gained through working with manufacturers on rail, light rail and tram projects across Europe, provided ABB with the insight to design the 45° and 90° elbows with smooth bore interiors as standard, to reduce snagging of cables and wiring against traditional cast products, during installation.
Meirion Buck at ABB, explained: "The PCC and PCF ranges have been developed as a direct response to more stringent conditions and specific customer requests, for example the need for materials which are resistant to caustic cleaning chemicals. As always, our goal is to exceed customer and industry expectations in all areas of performance, safety and service life – and with these systems already seeing service in light rail and tram applications across Europe, we believe we are well on the way to achieve that."
Straight fitting - Fixed external male thread
90º elbow fitting - Swivel external male thread
45º elbow fitting - Swivel external male thread
The body of the fitting is a modular, compression-type fitting manufactured in glass-filled, impact-modified PA66 for its strength and impact resistance properties.

The unit has the standard LFO and regen possibilities, but it also has LFO shape, sum/difference outputs, and a whole truckload of modulation capabilities, including envelope-driven sweep. A *lot* of knobs and switches on this one.
As far as parts go, the only hard to get things would be the BBD chip (MN3009 256-stage BBD) and clock driver (MN3101) and a 2SA798 matched PNP pair. The MN3009 can be subbed with an MN3007 to some extent (though with a shift in delay time), and the other two are available, just hard to find from any of the typical industrial suppliers. Everything else either uses easily available parts or parts that are easily subbed for.
A PCB layout is included, flipped around for using PnP etching/resist method, however I cannot vouch for the scale of the layout. You may have to adjust the prinout size on your machine before printing it to your choice of transfer sheet. The traces have been digitally thickened a bit but I don't see any spots where there is big risk of traces bleeding into each other. That being said, you may want to touch up the resist pattern yourself before printing to transfer sheet.
The flaw in the circuit, if there can be said to be one, is the absence of companding for both level and noise control. On the other hand, there is pretty good lowpass filtering of the BBD (2-pole before and 5-poles after), and a input-level gain control so noise and distortion should not be too much of an issue.
This looks like a really interesting circuit.
The schematic comes from a collection of Japanese schematics that someone posted a while back. I cleaned it up a bit and flipped the PCB layout so that it is compatible with PnP transfer techniques. The PCB is probably not to scale so be careful in re-scaling it.
The diodes can be replaced with 1N914 without changing the circuit much. The 2SC1222 transistors are listed in my data book as the complementary unit for the 2SA640. I suspect that the 2N5088 would sub for the 2SC1222 just fine, meaning that a 2N5087 would sub for the 2SA640. It's your option to include the indicator built around TR4 or not.
Haven't built it, but it looks good.
The principle is illustrated using the Nurse Quacky clone of the old E-H Doctor Q pedal. Added components are shown in red/blue.
(NB: I was searching for a font for the title and stumbled across one in my collection named "Centaur". That's not an indication of any clandestine schematic, just wishful whimsical thinking.)
While elegant in its own way as a do-all control, you can't have more bottom without losing bite, and can't get more bite without losing bottom. Personally, I find that a nuisance.
While looking over some schematics from various Shin-Ei fuzzes, various Univox Superfuzz issues, and the Roland Bee-Baa, I saw that many favourite fuzzes incorporated a switch to go from a mid scoop sound (which would accentuate buzz and octaves above by de-accentuating the fundamental) to a "normal" full-bandwidth sound. This started me thinking about replacing the switch with a panning control similar to the Big Muff's. The big question was what would be at the non-scoop end of the control's rotation. To simply fade in a mid-scoop was a bit too plain and the sort of thing you could easily do with a resonant boost-cut control/stage.
At the same time, I started pondering what eventually turned into the Rosey-Ray fuzz (see a few entries below). There, I wanted a control that would pan between two different fuzzes, and I wanted the pan control to blend between the best that each had to offer. What I ended up with was a bizarre control that incorporated a lowpass filter on one side, much like the BMP, plus a mid-scoop at the other side, and a little twist that inserts more variation into the control with a single component.
What I've posted here is the essential design idea, without any posted values. You can look at the Rosey-Ray for one implementation of it, but note that the values chosen were arrived at by trial and error to complement the two distortion stages and produce roughly equal volume. I thoroughly expect other component values to be more appropriate in other contexts. For the Rosey-Ray, the two parallel signal paths to be panned between were coming from different sources. What I've shown in the schematic here assumes that a single source (e.g., the output of a high gain device like any of Joe Davisson's excellent designs) is simultaneously filtered in two ways and you adjust how much of each you want.
The lowpass side should have a rolloff somewhere in the 2-3khz zone. This will yield a nice warm distortion tone, a bit of bite but with all the edges sanded down smooth and round. It will easily stand out in a mix and you will know that it is a distortion, but with a more relaxed bluesier feel suited to a humbucker-equipped solid body or semi-acoustic. The mid-scoop/notch can be whatever you want it to be. The essential thing is that it retain both top end and bottom. I recommend the articles that Jack Orman has at his www.muzique.com site in the lab notebooks, concerning notches and scoops. Myself, I just started with a known quantity: the Superfuzz notch.
The neat quirk I stumbled onto is the addition of the cap between wiper and ground. Bear in mind that cap, in tandem with each leg of the pot, forms a low pass filter whose rolloff is set by the capacitance and pot-leg resistance. Let's say, for instance, the pot was a 100k linear, just like the BMP, and the wiper-cap was .001uf. With the pot rotated completely in any direction, the pot and cap make a LPF with a 1.5khz rolloff which is ADDED to the action of whatever filter precedes it. When the pot is rotated fully towards the lowpass side, the cap is paralled with the existing treble-cut cap to form a single-pole lowpass with a lower rolloff.
Rotate the pot 10k away from the end, and you'd have a 6db/oct rolloff at 2.3khz, followed by a second 6db/oct rolloff at 16khz. Of course, at the same time, the signal coming via the notch filter side is also rolled off at 1/(2*pi*90k*.001uf)= 1768hz.
The nifty thing here is that as you rotate the control, you not only change the relative balance of each source, but you also change the spectral content it is contributing as the LPF rolloff for each side keeps changing. The result is a control where a couple of degrees rotation gets you an audibly different sounding tone, with a different character, not just a little brighter or a little duller, more boomy vs more nasal. It's not quite a "clickless switch" like those pots that double as program switchers in many digital FX boxes, but there is a big increment to the amount of clear variation can be introduced by a single pot. Again, the nice thing is that you don't have to trade off bite for bottom. If you need more bite, you can simply up the value of the cap labelled C1.
It may well require a lot of tinkering to get it to work right in your circuit, but this is a circuit that is well worth tinkering with.
Dean has taken it apart to give a better sense of how the mechanism works. Like the smaller unit I have, this one also operates by belt drive.
The zipfile contains a number of jpg files and is about 1.5meg in total. Thanks Dean.

Retro Gaming Collections – Operation Reclaim; The anguish of a Retro games collector
Twitter is a wonderful thing.
It has given us a really unique opportunity to meet and chat with like minded people who love retro gaming. One person in particular has been a great contact for us. He reads our random posts, he has favourited and retweeted them and also likes to reply to them. All in all this makes him a bloody good chap in our books.
Finally we have done some (Not so) dodgy trades including a pair of headphones for a gamecube with him!!
At this stage it seems only right that we highlight his retro gaming collection and the back story that makes it so interesting.
About six years ago my video game collection was sizeable. Eight consoles and an entire bookshelf of games.
However, due to combination of a psycho ex-gf, a garden bbq set and cook's matches, my prized collection (along with many other things) was reduced to dust.So, approximately 4 months ago I started to commence 'Operation: Reclaim'.
With the aide of ebay, I have been re-building my collection.
The first thing on my list was a Game Boy Advance SP.
With Tetris and Zelda: Link's Awakening DX. These were absolute essentials.
I found a GBA quite easily. £17.50 with a charger and carry case. Nice.
Tetris was also easy to find, £1.99 unboxed.
Next I wanted a SNES.
This was also relatively easy to find and after some haggling I got this tasty bundle for £37.
Now, the N64 proved more tricky. So many over-priced systems out there.
With the infamous 'wiggly' control stick problems.
After some persistence however, I managed to find a boxed, complete console for £31.
My next acquisition was a Dreamcast.
This came in at the unbelievable price of £17.50 it included two controllers, 8 games, vmu, rumble pack..
A very good buy indeed.
My most recent purchase came courtesy of our very own Mark, here at TGS.
Immaculate condition, with a free game!
Now, I have of course been buying games as often as funds allow, and I have no intention of letting this collection out of my sight.
I would like to say that the retro gaming community on twitter have been very influential and supportive. I honestly don't think I would have bothered starting to collect again had I not been in contact with this marvelous bunch of people.
Also, ebay is a wonderful place. But you must haggle! And snipe! lol. Anyway, there is my tale.. such as it is.
Now, go forth and game!
Thanks for reading and big thanks to James for a little insight into his world of retro gaming!

Here is a delicate song, chosen to enhance the mysterious beauty of aristocratic French actress Stéphane Audran, who could be called the French Faye Dunaway.
Stéphane Audran (born Colette Suzanne Dacheville in 1932 in Versailles, France) is a French film and television actress, known for her performances in Oscar winning movies such as "Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie" ("The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie") (1972) and "Babettes Gaestebud" ("Le festin de Babette", "Babette's Feast") (1987) and in critically acclaimed films like "The Big Red One" (1980) and "Violette Nozière" (1978).
She married French director and screenwriter Claude Chabrol in 1964, after a short marriage to the French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant.
Her first major role was in Chabrol's film "Les cousins" (1959). She has since appeared in most of Chabrol's films (she has made twenty-one films with him - "L'œil du Malin" [1962] was her first starred part). Some of the more noteworthy of his films Audran has appeared in are "Les bonnes femmes" (1960), "La femme infidèle" (1968), "Les biches" (1968) as a rich lesbian who becomes involved in a ménage à trois (she first gained notice in this), "Le boucher" (1970) as a school teacher who falls in love with a murderous butcher, "Juste avant la nuit" (1971), and "Violette Nozière" (1978). She won the Silver Bear for Best Actress for her role in "Les biches" at the 18th Berlin International Film Festival. She has also appeared in the first film of Éric Rohmer ("Signe du lion"), Jean Delannoy ("La peau de Torpédo"), Gabriel Axel ("Babettes Gaestebud", as the mysterious cook, Babette), Bertrand Tavernier ("Coup de torchon", as the wife of the cop turned serial killer, Lucien Cordier) and Samuel Fuller ("The Big Red One"). The most celebrated of her non-Chabrol films was Luis Buñuel's Oscar-winning "Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie" (1972) as Alice Sénéchal. Also appearing in English-language productions, Audran has appeared in American movies, like "The Black Bird" (1975), and in TV serials like "Brideshead Revisited" (1981), "Mistral's Daughter" (1984) and "The Sun Also Rises" (1984). Audran won a France's César Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance in "Violette Nozière" and British Film Academy award for "Just Before Nightfall" (1975).
Enjoy the beauty and charm of Stéphane Audran!
