F.168 D.H.88 Comet Racer
Ventora3300 posted a topic in FROG Squad GBWell, since we got 2 more weeks on this great Classic GB, I feel safe to commit to another build to really keep pushing the stats through the roof. Another of the Trailblazers series not already covered - the D.H.88 Comet Racer. Note the colour chart only has one colour specified - Red! Since the plastic is already this colour, I will have little to do. I'll retain the kit colour as far as possible and just do a bit of detail painting as required. I've never built this kit or aircraft before so it will be interesting. First off, I can see that the seated pilots are missing but two 'larger than life' standing figures have been provided. ??
After doing two consecutive builds ti finish on time before a competition where both models were rushed to the finish line I've had enough of deadlines for a while. From now on, or rather until august atleast I will not bother with time schedules but just doing things whenever I feel like it, in any order and on any kit. But, in order to reduce the stash a little I will off course start another kit, instead of carry on with another one at full focus. Not to worry, the Sea vixen WILL get a little more love before soon. Anyway, what do we have here then? Well, a Tamiya Mossie from the 90:s is not the most difficult of kits, so I need to complicate things a little bit more. Hence, a light load of aftermarket candy: Turned gun barrels, some resin for the cockpit (more about that later) and some rather tasty decals from Aviaeology. Only thing missing is off course some quickboost exhausts, but that will come in due time. 333Sqn seems to have been a rather busy bunch, venturing up and down the Norwegian coast looking for prey for the rest of the Banff Strike Wing to obliterate. I have not yet decided which one to do, but I have in my mind a dirty, beaten up old warhorse in Extra Dark Sea grey over Sky, with suitable amount of repaint here and there. It's oh so clear in my mind, i just need to make that happen in the meatspace... The Tamiya plastic sure is fine though! Ok, where to start then? Digging for references might be a good idea, and then prepare the cockpit for the resin pieces I guess. But for now, I need to head off to the office instead and do work. Too bad
This was my entry to the Tiger Moth GB back in the summer of 2015. I didn't manage to finish it in the time frame of the GB and it has been untouched since. I'll try to finish it now. Thanks for looking. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, As if I didn't have enough ongoing builds, I decided to participate in this GB. I will be building Airfix's 1/72 Tiger Moth in RAF Flight Training School colours, 1940. Here are the kit, sprues and decals: IMAG2533 Here's the camouflage scheme: IMAG2535 The kit is nicely detailed out of the box but I will add Eduard's PE fret to the build. I have this on order with my LHS and it should arrive in mid-August. Until then I won't be doing much on the kit, if at all. The aircraft will be rigged, of course. It will be done with elastic fishing line glued with CA. That's all for now. Thanks for looking. Jaime
Avi Models 1/72 De Havilland 83 Fox Moth
Epimedium posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - AircraftManufacturer: Avi Models Subject: D.H.83 Fox Moth Scale: 1/72 Paints Used: Tamiya XF83, XF24, XF85, MRP white, Mr Color 8 Details: Uschi Super Fine Rigging Thread, Albion Alloys 0.5 Tubing, Custom Masks. This is a new release of the D.H.83 Fox Moth and it is a typical short run kit. It was tricky in places but most of the issues came from me rushing the build a little, I messed up the decals on one side so had to cut a mask to fix that, I've filmed this build for my channel on YouTube so that is why there is a lack on in progress shots. I have depicted the aircraft as photographed during the Spanish Civil War and in use by the Nationalists, this aircraft was on the Republican side initially but after capture it was repainted as is seen, I had to modify a few things, most notably blanking off the exhaust outlet and putting in a few bits of meta tubing to simulate the modified exhaust of the actual aircraft. https://youtu.be/eWfsn31OGW4

What are some good 1:48 or 1:72 De Havilland Tiger Moth
THE_COMBAT_WOMBAT posted a topic in WWIIHi, For my next build I was wondering, what I should build. I eventually decided on a tiger moth. What are some good kits in 1:48th and 1:72 scale for the tiger moth?
A build from 2017: The De Havilland D.H.53 Humming-bird represents the concept of light plane. It was contemporary to the Parnall Pixie and a small number of them were sold to particulars and the RAF. Power plants varied, and the first model had a Douglas of 750cc. According to information found on the Net, one plane ended up in Chile, two in Australia and one in Canada. The plane had a span of 30"1' (9.17 meters) with almost constant chord, but differential airfoil, which varied in thickness along the span. The usual scratchbuilding techniques you may have seen in my posts were employed, to ensure a satisfying measure of accuracy and a bonafide reproduction. A resin prop cast by Matías Hagen (thanks Matías!) from Argentina was used, with resin wheels from the spares bin and adapted resin cylinders again from Matías. Care must be exercised in replicating the particular change in airfoil section, thin at the root and wingtip and thick in the middle, a detail often obviated by modelers. A model of the Parnall Pixie, a plane -as said above- designed under the same concept and flown contemporarily to the D.H.53, is being built in parallel. Originally it even had the same Douglas 750cc engine. A number of different decorations can be seen in photos, many of them most likely in aluminium dope, sometimes with the fuselage in a darker color, and in some photos it's shown with what seems wings of clear doped linen, with certain translucency. I selected a subject (G-EBHZ) based on a very good photo I found on the Net, that had the same scheme as the restored machine that used to fly in England (G-EBHX), until unfortunately had a fatal crash in 2012. The machine chosen, G-EBHZ, changed schemes, and I was fortunate enough to find on the Net photos of them. One is an all-aluminium scheme with the logo of the Seven Aeroplane Club, an AC with seven feathers (thanks, Sönke). Another is blue and silver, like as said the machine restored. Be sure that you get the position of the inverted wing struts and the ailerons right. The ailerons started inside of where the struts attach (i.e. closer to the wing root). Also pay attention to the wing struts, configured as a V, and wrongly depicted in some plans as the aft member being parallel to the TE, when in reality both struts converge at an angle (look at photos on the Net, easily found). I commissioned the decals from Arctic Decals (thanks, Mika!) Bibliography: DeHavilland Aircraft since 1909 (A.J. Jackson) N.A.C.A. Technical Memorandum No. 261 The Light Plane since 1909 - J.

1/144 Airfix DH Comet 4B
Ventora3300 posted a topic in Airfix: The Golden Years GBI will go for my 'oldest' Airfix kit - the DH Comet 4B. It did occur to me that this might be a 'collector's piece' but I have decided I'm a 'builder', although I will keep the box with the finished model. I will be putting in a big effort (for me) by including after-market add-ons and really try for a pristine finish. It could represent the journey that some kits have been on... Raring to go and happy modelling all!

Special Hobby DH.100 Vampire Mk.3 - 1:72 Special HobbyDH.100 Vampire Mk.3 1:72 Special Hobby The distinctive de Havilland DH.100 Vampire was designed to fulfil a wartime requirement for a small, lightweight jet fighter for the Royal Air Force. Although the prototype aircraft first flew in September 1943, the production aircraft arrived too late to see service in the Second World War. In spite of this, well over 3,000 were eventually produced and the aircraft enjoyed a relatively long service life by the standards of the day. Powered by a single De Havilland Goblin turbojet, the Vampire was capable of a maximum speed of 548 mph and had a service ceiling of over 40,000 ft. In common with many other RAF fighters of the day, armament was comprised of four 20mm cannon. 1,202 Mk 3 were produced for the RAF and 20 for Norway. The Kit the top opening box are two sprues of grey plastic and a clear one. There are no resin or photo etched parts in the box though Special Hobby do offer s a PE set through their CMK line. It should be noted that not all of the parts need to be used to build the variants catered for in this edition. The kit looks excellent on the sprue, with lots of crisp, moulded detail and surface structures made up of fine, recessed lines and fasteners (although some of the detail on the underside of the fuselage looks a little heavy). The overall impression is closer to a modern, high pressure injection moulded kit than the older MPM/Special Hobby kits in my collection. Construction starts with the well-detailed cockpit. This area is made up of the floor, rear bulkhead and head rest, the pilot's seat, the control column and the instrument panel. The instrument panel features recessed detail and a decal is provided for the instrument dials themselves, while the gun sight is moulded from clear plastic. The inside of the fuselage halves benefit from some separately moulded sidewall details. Taken together, the overall impression is of a well detailed and suitably busy cockpit. Other internal detail includes the front and rear faces of the De Havilland Ghost turbojet engine. Special Hobby have elected for a bit of a smoke and mirrors effect here, splitting the front face of the engine into two parts so each can be seen through the intake trunking (part of which is cleverly moulded to the lower half of the fuselage pod. There is no separate tail pipe for the jet exhaust, with the pipe and protruding lip being moulded as part of the upper and lower fuselage halves. The nose cone is moulded separately to the rest of the fuselage, and it follows a panel line which should reduce the need to clean up the joint when finished. It will also enable you to fit the nose weight after the main structure of the model has been completed. Once the two halves of the fuselage pod have been joined together, attention turns to the wings and the horizontal stabiliser. The wings are simply moulded in upper and lower halves, with control surfaces moulded in place. Surface details are very nicely represented, although the trailing edges are a little on the thick side (nothing that can't be sorted relatively easily though). The shallow main landing gear bays are moulded as part of the lower wing but are pretty well detailed. The engine air intakes are separately moulded, complete with vanes. Nice as they are, they look quite inaccurate as the openings are too small. The plastic looks too thin to correct the flaw, so hopefully one of the aftermarket manufacturers will have a go an producing some resin replacements. The tail booms look pretty good and, as with the wings and horizontal stabiliser, the control surfaces are moulded in place. There are a couple of nice balance weights for the underside of the horizontal stabiliser though. With the airframe together, attention turns to the undercarriage. The undercarriage itself is quite nicely moulded without being overly complex. A choice of hubs are provided for the main landing gear wheels, so you'll need to choose the right pair for the version you want to build. Ordnance is catered for by the inclusion of a pair of drop tanks.The canopy is nicely moulded and is split into two parts, so it can be finished in the open position if desired. Decals The sheet brings 5 options all in High Speed Silver finish though the instructions call this Aluminium dope & NMF? Options are; VT793 from No.601 (City Of London) Sqn, Royal Aux Air Force, Malta 1952 VV196 from No.32 Sqn RAF Middle East Air Force, Cyprus 1950 VV194 from No.604 (County Of Middlesex) Sqn, Royal Aux Air Force, Malta 1951 VT809 from No.73 Sqn RAF Middle East Air Force, Malta 1949 VG703 from RAF Vampre Trials Unit 1948/49 Tropial Trials & Demo tour Conclusion Despite one of two flaws, this looks like a really appealing kit. The level of detail is very good indeed, and provided there are no surprises in terms of fit and finish, it should build up into a nice model, My only real gripe is the undersized engine air intakes, but hopefully these can be sorted with aftermarket parts. Overall though, this is a nice kit which I am looking forward to building. Recommended. Review sample courtesy of
Eduard Mosquito B.Mk.IX (For HK Model 1:32)
Mike posted a topic in Aftermarket (updates/conversions)Mosquito B.Mk.IX (For HK Model) 1:32 Eduard Three years ago HK Model released their gun-nosed Mossie, and now we have the glass-nosed variant to complete the two basic configurations in which the Wooden Wonder flew. Eduard's new range of sets are here to improve on the kit detail in the usual modular manner. Get what you want for the areas you want to be more of a focal point. As usual with Eduard's Photo-Etch (PE) and Mask sets, they arrive in a flat resealable package, with a white backing card protecting the contents and the instructions that are sandwiched between. Interior (32918) Two frets are included, one nickel plated and pre-painted, the other in bare brass. A complete set of new layered instrument panels, radio boxes and controls such as knobs and levers are the primary parts on the painted set, with new rudder pedals and box; complete throttle quadrant; coaming instrumentation and gunsight details also supplied. Zoom! Set (33182) This set contains a reduced subset of the interior, namely the pre-painted parts that are used to improve on the main aspects of the cockpit, as seen above. Whatever your motivations for wanting this set, it provides a welcome boost to detail, without being concerned with the structural elements. Seatbelts STEEL (33183) In case you don't already know, these belts are Photo-Etch (PE) steel, and because of their strength they can be etched from thinner material, which improves realism and flexibility in one sitting. Coupled with the new painting method that adds perceived extra depth to the buckles and other furniture by shading, they are more realistic looking and will drape better than regular brass PE. As well as the two sets of crew belts, you also get separate furniture. Exterior (32417) This larger double bare brass set contains some important upgrades within the landing gear bays in the engine nacelles, with new PE mudguards, skins for the interior, piano hinges and vents/intake mesh, with the doors also seeing some additional parts. In the engine bays ribbing is applied to the access panels, and logos for the Merlin engines. Bomb Bay (32418) The rear bulkhead is stripped of detail which is replaced by layered PE ribs and webwork; the internal fuel tanks have new detailed straps added, the bay doors are fitted with additional panels, and the bombs are given new fin and stabilisers, plus front and rear spinners. They are then mounted on new transverse palettes, with two new detailed bomb racks on each. If you are using the cookie bombs instead of the standard ones, there are three circular plates with the central one fitted with a spinner, which needs a little bit of 1mm rod from your own stocks to finish off. In addition, some 1.5mm rod will also be needed for the mounting points of the palettes, again in short lengths. Masks (JX208) Supplied on a sheet of yellow kabuki tape, these pre-cut masks supply you with a full set of masks for the canopy, side windows and nose cone, with compound curved handled by using frame hugging masks, while the highly curved gaps are in-filled with either liquid mask or offcuts from the background tape. In addition you get a set of hub masks for the main wheels, allowing you to cut the demarcation perfectly with little effort. Review sample courtesy of
de Havilland Vampire

Hello and welcome to my Honey I shrunk the De Havilland Vampire T.11, 1/72 The Gentleman's scale,RFI. I fell in love with this little fella while watching Phil's build a few moths Months back , I simply had to build one, it had everything I wanted, a nice easy looking build with Silver and fluorescent paint. This would be my first time with both. The kit went together really well and The only additions were some Eduard belts and some scratch handles for the ejector seats, oh and a few little aerials here and there. It was a blast to build and I can highly recommend if you're looking for a fun little stop gap in between larger projects this is it. Thanks to everyone who helped and watched the WIP along the way. (http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235004740-honey-i-shrunk-the-de-havilland-vampire-t11-172-the-gentlemans-scale/) I couldn't have done it without you. , Most of the photos were taken this weekend as the sun was glorious giving a really nice light through our little sky light. I must have been having fun as I too nearly ninety pictures. I have whittled em down but there are still quite a few, I was playing with filters and the like. I hope you enjoy this RFI and if you're interested I have started a long haul project here. (http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235005731-massive-and-old-its-only-a-ruddy-grumman-ea-6b-prowler-148-by-airfix/) An old school Airfix prowler, It's a doosie. Any hoo enough of my jibber jabber here are the pics. Enjoy. There you go then. Onece again thank you for indulging me on this one. Have a lovely day and hopefully I'll share some chit chat on my next build. All the best, thanks for your time and as always. Happy Modelling. Johnny boy.
Hi Guys. Welcome to my next build, The De Havilland Vampire T.11 1/72 scale by Airfix. I fell in love with this jet when I saw Phil Lewis building one a few moths back. 1/72 has never been my thing but I had so much fun building My FW 109 I got hooked. My last build was 1/48 and Im toying with the idea of going bigger next time but for now I'm going back to the gentleman's scale. Any way without further waffle I will begin. I hope (if you decide to come along for the ride) you enjoy this as much as I will. Here is the obligatory box shot. And here are the assorted sprues and decals. It is a really nice looking kit, The mould is wonderful, I'm so loving Airfix right now. . I and going to be doing this here scheme as it is different from Phil's and I'm a sucker for day glo. Also the shiny silver will be a new one for me. I start off by sticking the first few bits of cockpit together. Nice and easy. The detail is really quite nice except from a few raised pin marks which I'll sand down but you'll never see it when the tubs in. I wanted to get some nice belts to match some reference pics I found. Mmmmmm blue. I decided to get some Eduard PE belts, Cheap as chips and they look really nice. First up was shooting the seats black. then the inside of the pit, I used a small amount of Vallejo steel to dry brush too. And that's where we are. It's all going rather well at the moment. I'm mostly planning an out of the box build with only a few little additions. We will see. Thanks for looking. Take care y'all and happy modelling. Johnny boy.
After several rainy days in a row, the sun thankfully put in an appearance for today's event at The Shuttleworth Collection: The Gathering Of Moths. This is a free event and well worth coming to if vintage aeroplanes are your thing. I took a few pictures while I was there. Ok, I tell a lie: I took over 700 pictures while I was there! The lighting conditions were constantly changing, and proved to be a bit of a challenge at times. Anyway, I have opened a temporary account at Flickr (I can't stand Flickr, but it'll do until I find something better) to host a small selection of the photos. Here's a few of them: (Well, that was an effort! I see that Flickr is just as "user friendly" as it was ten years ago!) The Paddock was opened to the great unwashed for ninety minutes, which I think is mainly a brilliant idea. Mainly, because it's bloomin' difficult to get a good pic while the world and his wife are blissfully unaware of everyone and everything around them, displaying all the situational awareness of a bat wearing ear muffs. My patience was tried many times today, but it was well worth it in the end and I have to thank the Collection for the opportunity to get close to so many lovely, old aeroplanes. Once I have found a suitable replacement for P****bucket, I will gradually get round to re-uploading all my old pictures, plus all the new ones I've taken since, which is probably around a thousand! I'm thinking about giving Smugmug a go, as they seem to offer exactly what I'm after. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has experience of it, or thoughts on alternatives. I tried Village Photos, but it was just awful. Nothing worked properly and it took over a month for support to get back to me! That's deleted now. Cheers, Mark.
I'm going to record here my progress on a long-term triple build. It's quite likely that I'll deviate away from time to time to build something else (and I have a Sherman to build for the Great Patriotic War GB), so this may take a while to finish. I have always found De Havilland aircraft to be rather attractive designs, and their distinctive twin-boom jet designs also grabbed my attention when I was a kid. One of the first kits I bought as an adult was the Airfix 1/48 Sea Vixen. I realised when I got home just how big the finished article would be, and it entered the stash as "one for the future". Move on a few years and Airfix released their new tool 1/72 Vampire trainer. I resisted the kit as I didn't particularly like the included schemes and didn't find an aftermarket decal sheet justifiable, but Home Bargains' recent cheap sale of what I assume were Airfix overstocks meant that two kits entered my stash. Crisp's terrific and very educational Sea Vixen FAW.1 build (http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234973210-de-havilland-sea-vixen-faw1-890nas-hms-ark-royal-1963-4/) was the final straw catalyst. No more excuses! But first, let's build something a bit smaller. You know, for twin boom practice... None of these are going to be completely OOB, but neither am I exactly going to town on the aftermarket. I'll be doing both Vampires in schemes from the Xtradecal overseas operators sheet #2. One will definitely be in the sand/brown Chilean camo scheme: The other I think will probably be in the Lebanese scheme, though I could easily be tempted by the Swiss and Aussie options on the sheet (or I may just wimp out at the prospect of the red and yellow bands required). I've picked up a couple of the Pavla ejection seats to go in that one; I suspect anything else in the cockpit will be invisible at this scale. Of course, they'll both be dwarfed by their big FAA sister. Again, she won't be OOB as I have some Eduard etch for the interior, and I've invested in a nice new pot of EDSG. Can't wait to brush paint all of that

1:72 Airfix De Havilland Vampire T.11
Shelliecool posted a topic in De Havilland Mega GBHaving been lucky enough to see the Vampire flying at Wellesbourne last year, I was keen to have a go at recreating the little rocket myself (my son too, as it's one of his favourite planes). I've have begun painting the cockpit of the Airfix Dehavilland vampire T.11, adding some minor details to the sides and weathering to the floor and seats, ejector seat handles painted (using fuse wire), awaiting attachment once the seats are secure. Finished painting the pilot and trainer last night (using the closest colour paints I have in my collection), after beheading the trainer and re-fixing his head so he looks like he is observing his trainee. Updates to follow as I progress.
I'm not sure I should be starting a 2nd WIP thread with one still outstanding and a RFI still to post but hey ho I've made a start on a pair of de Havilland jets - the Airfix Vampire T11 and Revell Sea Vixen. No aftermarket toys - I'm aiming for a relaxed and easy life I hadn't quite realized how big the difference in sizes between these planes was. With the family resemblance I thought they'd be similar(ish) but the Vixen is a behemoth The most minor of mods for the Sea Vixen - reshaped seat based on the kit seat with added stretched sprue and scrap polystyrene sheet to make something that if you squint could look almost right and a couple of shims of sheet added to stretch and slim the nose a bit (which handily gives me a neat compartment for hiding some fishing weights) Other than that it has been mundane cobbling together with the odd dash of regret (I wish I'd made more effort on the Vixen cockpit now that it is sealed up). a lot of filling and sanding is in the offing
Mosquito B Mk. IV (FPU) Finished diorama
kkarlsen posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - AircraftHello fellow modellers, I would like to share my latest build with you. Since the Mosquito is a British plane, I think here is where 'she' belongs... Mosquito B Mk. IV Series II (Film Production Unit - FPU 1944) Serial No. DZ414, Callsign 'O' Orange with 'camera' mission markings... DZ414 was handpicked out at Hatfield Aerodrome (The De Havilland Factory) on 22. December 1942 by Flt Lt C.E.S. Patterson for service with the FPU ( RAF Film Production Unit). He subsequently flew DZ414 for 20.000 of its 24.000 miles, including its debut operation to L'Orient on 14. February 1943 in the wake of the 466-bomber raid staged the night before, the night bombing attack on Berlin on 20/21 April 1943 (performed to coincide with Hitler's birthday), when DZ414 was badly damaged by flak, the raids on Turin and Nürnburg, and on the long-range operation to Jena on 27. May. The second 'B' on the nose is for the Berlin operation on 13/14 May 1943. Whilst part of the 2nd TAF, DZ414 took part in many notable operations, including 14 anti-Diver sorties (V-1 Flying Bombs) flown by Flt Lt Vic Hester of No 613 Sqn. along with cameraman, Flg Off Oakley, between 19-25. June 1944. The aircraft also participated in the Amiens prison raid on 18 February 1944, its pilot Flt Lt Tony Wickham, making three passes over the burning prison so as to allow Plt Off Leigh Howard to film the flight of 255 of the 700 prisoners released through the breached walls. On 31. of October DZ414 participated in the attack on the Gestapo headquarters in Aarhus, Denmark, filming the attack on the buildings of Aarhus University. Finally, on 21. March 1945 DZ414 was flown by Fit Lt K L Greenwood of No 487 Sqn. RNZAF, as part of the force sent on the Shellhouse raid, Flg Off E Moore of the FPU filming the first wave attack on the building. Despite its wartime contribution, this veteran machine was SoC in October 1946 and unceremoniously scrapped. The kit is HK Models 1/32 Mosquito B Mk. IV Series II. Aftermarket photoetch parts from Eduard & Profimodeller + a lot of scratchbuilding. HGW seatbelts. The RAF Accumulator Trolley is a resin kit from Iconicair with a scratch built JAP Engine Generator on top. None of the kit glass was used, instead the vac-formed canopy/nose glass from Tasman was used. And finally, some detail photos of the build... The cockpit, a mix of Eduard and Profimodeller photoetch together wit a lot of scratch built details... Rolls-Royce engine with cooper and lead wire/piping, scratchbuild exhaust shrouds, header tank, air compressor etc... Bomb bay interior with 'scratched' bomb attachment crates... Paintwork is done with AK Interactive RAF Daylight Fighters set, Ammo of MIG British Cockpit Colors, washes and oil weathering... Kit decals were used together with stencils from Profimodeller and some homemade markings printed on decal paper. Thanks for watching! Regards: Kent

What to Do with Green Tomatoes?
By Emma Grace Fairchild: Summertime tomatoes, in all their multicolored, juicy glory, deserve all the credit they get in culinary magazines and recipe blogs.

Canon PIXMA MX472 printer driver & software for windows, mac os, linux
Canon PIXMA MX472 printer driver – The All-in-One Cellular Workplace The inkjet printer is one of only a few multifunction printers (MFP) in the cost range that is mostly aimed at the office, but is associated with home use. That does not mean you can not use it at home, but maybe you do not need some things related to that office-centric function, like its fax capacity. On the other hand, it is suitable to be an individual printer in all types of office sizes or in multiple roles associated with ink jet printers home and home office.
Like the Brother MFC-J430w Editor's Choice, which is discontinued but still available online at the time of this writing, Pixma MX472 can print and send faxes via, as well as checking to a PC and possibly also a standalone copier to a fax machine. flatbed letter and also 30 page automatic record feeder (ADF), which can scan around legal size. Quite disappointing, no chance to scan into the HARDWARE key, which is another welcome addition to how the Canon MX452 is actually available. Except for multiple roles associated with home and office-ink jet printers, however, it is unlikely you will need to share them on the network due to limited paper transactions. Its capacity is 100 linen which is very little, without duplexer without update option.
The real benefits associated with a Wi-Fi connection in order to have an access point on the network allow the use of Google Impair Printing support from the printer. Also under cellular publishing is help to print about Wi-Fi connection along with AirPrint or together with Canon's free iOS other than Android app related to printing and scanning inside the printer. In addition, Canon's Entry Stage mode, which is often an equal offer for purchases to Wi-Fi Direct, lets you connect directly between the printer and the mobile device even if the printer is not on the actual network.
Canon Pixma MX472 Setup, Pace, and Best Quality Output
For my judgment, I connect a certain Pixma MX472 to several systems running House windows Vista, using HARDWARE cables. The actual set up is the standard cost currently works fine. However, I ran into a small problem that has a Windows Vista protection feature that keeps certain setup programs through operation. At this writing, Canon continues to attempt to investigate this issue, but the company makes a simple option to install drivers and also other software. If you are experiencing the same issue, you should resolve this issue by contacting Canon technology help numbers.
The actual printer speed in our tests was not impressive. In the collection of enterprise applications (using time-consuming devices and QualityLogic software), the price is only about 2 pages per minute (ppm), just with a faster impression than the actual Canon MX452, through 2. 1 ppm. It's unusually slow with this cost range. The actual Epson Workforce WF-2530 $ 79.99 from Greatest Buy, for example, only handles two. 6 ppm. Nevertheless, the Brother MFC-J430w handles almost twice a certain speed, at four o'clock. 3 ppm, which may be the reason is the Editor's Choice. The speed of the image is also just as slow but typical for your price, averaging 2 minutes 3 seconds for 4 to 6 times.
Printers print slightly better to produce high quality. The text reaches the lowest point of a tight distance exactly where most inkjet MFPs decline, making it adequate for many company needs. Graphic results, similar, are on the reduced end associated with regular, but pretty easy for everything like PowerPoint handouts and so on. Photo quality is so easy to match what you should expect from a pharmacy image.

Good morning and welcome to my project page
I intend to keep a journal of my build from day one here so people can a) help me avoid silly mistakes and b) give a record for any other newbies to see when they are first setting out. I have to add at this point that I have NEVER kept cichlids before, this is a steep learning curve for me as well.
So, I have always kept tropical tanks and a few years ago decided to get back into the hobby. I have played about with a few before deciding in the new year that I needed a new challenge. In my garage I had a 4ft, 190l bare tank on a metal box section frame which I decided to do something with. From these humble beginnings, I have now built a complete wooden frame, brand new lid and fully kitted the tank out. It is now maturing with my tropical collection of fish so I have freed up my 200l tank ready to begin this build.
This is the tank I am going to be converting to a Dwarf Mbuna tank. It is a very odd shape being 3ft wide and 2ft deep but I think set up right it could be perfect. I have since been shopping and spending far too much money which I am now waiting for bits and pieces to arrive.
First stage was lighting. I had a LED setup in there when it was tropical but personally I didn't think that it reached the bottom properly. The light pattern seemed a bit dead if I am honest. For that reason I have decided to go down the tube route and have ordered all of the kit to make a custom mount in the lid. I have gone for 1 daylight tube (Arcadia Classica T8) and one marine blue tube (Aquazonic Super Actininc Blue T8). I did a LOT of research into lighting and found that this combination would give me the exact lighting specification I wanted for the tank but also help the light actually reach the bottom of the tank. Throw in some reflectors and I think I have this covered now.
Filtration wise, I have gone for a Jebao 403 which is has a specification of 1200l/hr. I know that some people are dead against these Chinese "copies" (This is effectively a Eheim copy made in the same factory) but I have used these filters for years with no trouble and they always produce fantastic surface agitation without fail.
Next was a brand new heater. This time I have not scrimped and gone for an Eheim unit straight away. When you hear of stuck thermostats, cracking glass and failing elements, one area you can't save money is the heating.
I have also gone for a decent air pump (for noise) to produce a small air curtain. This looks good but also helps with the surface agitation.
Decor wise, I have ordered 25kg of coral sand. I have yet to work out if this is enough but it should give about an inch and a bit cover on the bottom. To go with this, I have also bought 15kg of red limestone to produce the decor. Slightly more unusual than ocean rock but it has just as many holes and crevices and should make an interesting display.
So, this is where I am at. I have a plethora of bits and pieces coming through the door in the next few days so hopefully I can begin building this week and getting set up

Current Schedule
Dear friends:
St. Michael's is again gathering as a community on a more informal basis. Please join us at Uncommon Ground at 1401 W. Devon Ave. in Chicago on the following dates:
21 August 2019 at 7:00pm Topic: Assumption of the Holy Sophia. What is the relationship between this feast and the Catholic Feast of Assumption or the Orthodox Feast of the Dormition?
25 September 2019 at 7:00pm Topic: Restoration Day. The Gnostic Church of Doinel is one of the most important historical antecedents of the modern Gnostic Churches, including the AJC.
22 October at 7:00pm Topic: Martyrdom of the Holy Templars. Though the AJC is by no means a "Templar Church", the Templar mythology is essential to Johannite mythology.
19 November 2019 at 7:00pm Topic: The Saints of the Church. We celebrate Gregory Palamas' feast day on 14 November. Why is he a saint in the AJC? What does it mean to be a Johannite Saint?
17 December 2019 at 7:00pm Topic: The Nativity of the Divine Light. What role does Christmas play in the AJC liturgical year? How is this like and unlike the winter celebrations of our Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and Pagan cousins?
If you are interested in joining us for any of our liturgies or other events, please contact the Rector at [email protected]
We expect to begin celebrating the liturgy regularly in the coming year.
About our liturgical rites:
The Theocletian Rite is a formal liturgy influenced by both the Johannite Congregational Rite and traditional Orthodox Christian practise.
We will also celebrate the Contemplative Rite by request. If you have a particular time that would work well for you and would like to experience this majestic and instrospective rite of the Apostolic Johannite Church, please contact us and we will be happy to schedule something for you at your home, office, or at our locations. The Contemplative Rite is much more informal, provides a much greater opportunity for participation by the congregation, and is meant to facilitate a group meditation in the context of the Eucharist.

Sure, camels are common in the Middle East, but eastern Pennsylvania?
That was the bizarre sight on Thursday for bemused and bewildered motorists in Souderton, Pa., when they spotted a camel on the side of Route 309, about 35 miles north of Philadelphia.
"This storm's not fit for man nor beast!" quipped Twitter user Laurie Mason Schroeder, who tweeted photos of the camel alongside a trailer.
The camel, affectionately called Snow Camel, is actually named Einstein, and he belongs to the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, which was holding a gala in which the animal was expected to make an appearance.
"This is our camel!" tweeted the organization. "He's on his way to our main event at the Kimmel Center in Philly (Thursday). We have treats and a blanket waiting."
Parts of eastern Pennsylvania were blitzed by up to five inches of snow, trapping many vehicles on unplowed roads and wreaking havoc with public transportation.
The beast was apparently a passenger in the vehicle that got stuck by the roadside. The driver let the camel out for its own safety, fearful it would be injured if the vehicle got rear-ended.
"Normally, someone who has access to a trailer will come and load the livestock and transport them to safety," said Amanda Hackert, who claimed to know the driver.
But thankfully, the driver was able to resume her journey with camel in tow.

And that 1 day, we rode through a torrential downpour for 4 hours. My hands and feet were soaked through, but by the time we reached our destination I was merely a little damp on my butt and pretty dry everywhere else. Definitely got the job done. If I had one suggestion, it'd be nice to be able to order different size pants/jacket instead of a fixed combo. The jacket runs a little short in my opinion, and I wished I could have had 1 size bigger jacket. Overall would recommend, that's my only qualm."

Scarlet Witch is one of the heaviest hitters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a major power player in Avengers: Infinity War, but there's one thing about the character that's been (rightfully) bugging actress Elizabeth Olsen: Her costume.

In a recent interview with Elle magazine, Olsen spoke about why she believes Marvel is making the MCU a more inclusive space overall with better on-screen diversity, and how she was hyped to work with Infinity War's stunt choreographer to expand on the Scarlet Witch's fighting style.
But when it comes to her costume, the actress is of the strong opinion that the time has come for Wanda to put on something more than just a corset and some pants:
I like corsets, but I'd like it to be higher. Everyone has these things that cover them - Tessa Thompson does, Scarlett [Johansson] does. I would like to cover up a bit. It's funny because sometimes I look around and I'm just like - wow, I'm the only one who has cleavage, and that's a constant joke because they haven't really evolved my superhero costume that much.
But then you look at where it started in the comic books and it was a leotard and a headband so… oh, it's horrible, it's so horrible. So at least they know that's not cool.
Corsets are very much a part of Wanda's canonical aesthetic, but Olsen has a point. It makes absolutely no sense that she would go into battle with her cleavage exposed because that's the sort of physical vulnerability that would quickly get a person killed.
Obviously, translating a comic book costume such as Scarlet Witch's is a daunting task given how absurd it is, but that doesn't mean that Marvel should be content with just giving her an assortment of toughened lingerie to wear while fighting and calling it a day.
There are plenty of ways to incorporate the idea of sensuality into a character that doesn't involve giving them a costume with a plunging, impractical neckline, especially when they're already wearing form-fitting leather pants. Illustrator Andy Park designed a number of concept costumes for Scarlet Witch's appearance in Captain America: Civil War, and the absolute standout of the bunch smartly covers her chest up while also channelling the character's classic witchy vibe.
One of Andy Park's concept designs for the Scarlet Witch's costume in Captain America: Civil War. Note that it shares a number of aesthetic similarities to the Scarlet Witch's costume from Marvel's Ultimate books. Illustration: Andy Park (Marvel)
The only thing missing? A luxurious, awe-inspiring cape. Here's to hoping that if and when Wanda and Shuri eventually meet, the Wakandan princess takes one look at the Avenger's costume, chuckles to herself about hating corsets, and decides to help her fellow hero out with some new duds.

It's amazing how the Universe works. While helping some folks to look after their animals, on a farm in the Black Forest, Germany, it was jokingly suggested by Aunt Cecelia (not my Aunt) to lay her favourite cat on a piece of paper, and draw around it. Instead I painted 'Maxley' in a simple style, with a few dots included, as I do love dots in my pieces. See his picture in the gallery.
I really enjoyed this. Next I painted Crazy Cat in a friend's house by the Bodensee. This has truly inspired me to take a new direction with my work, hence the Smiley Cat Collection.

Two weeks into the New Year and some may have done pretty well with their resolutions; others may have given up already.
Friends, we all want to do well in our lives, we're all looking for a significant breakthrough or blessing from God this year.
Let me share a simple secret: Play your part. Give from what you have and you will see a breakthrough. The following three stories counter three attitudes that could open up or hinder your blessing.
First, the attitude that says
I do not have, so I cannot give.
The Bible tells us a story of a lame beggar. He looked at Peter and John expecting money.
Peter said, 'Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.' Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk.
The beggar wanted money. Peter and John didn't have money.
Maybe you don't have something—does that mean you cannot offer anything?
We're so concerned with what we don't have that we miss out on being a blessing with what we have.
Second, the attitude that says
I have very little, so no point giving.
One day thousands were stranded with no food. Jesus asked the disciples to organize something and all they could find was a boy with his lunch.
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up, 'Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?'Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
And they all had enough to eat.
God provided miraculously
Don't underestimate the power of making the little you have available to God.
And finally, the attitude that says
I have too much, I cannot give.
Some people possess multiple talents, some are intelligent, some are from noble families, some are rich, and some seem to have it all.
A very rich man came to Jesus asking how he could inherit eternal life.
Jesus looked at him and loved him. 'One thing you lack,' he said. 'Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.'At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
The rich young ruler had much. He loved what he had and was unable to give.
But Jesus promised his disciples that if they were willing to let go of what they had, God would bless them a hundred fold.
Friends, let's check our attitudes. Let's learn from these stories and decide to give from what we have. Then, we will experience a breakthrough.

This year's Museum fundraising gala, An Evening for Reynolda, kicks off a radiant season celebrating the splendors of the garden and the gallery, and the opening of The Artist's Garden: American Impressionism and the Garden Movement, 1887-1920. The event of the season in Winston-Salem comes with an encouragement for guests to dress in "black tie with floral notes." We want to help interpret the look!
- This handmade bow-tie by Brackish, above, ensures you won't blend in. A little bit chic, a little bit classic, this bow-tie spotlights subtle bluish green pheasant feathers with the company's trademark Guinea outline. This style, Green Pond, along with others are available exclusively in the Piedmont Triad at the Reynolda House Museum Store. (Tip: if it's good enough for Hollywood, it's good enough for us.)
- We also asked supremely stylish menswear blogger Noah Williams (@nwilliamsphotos on Instagram) and the fashionable ladies behind WFU Style to interpret the look. Below, see highlights from their blogs. Browse their full style guides for the event at noahwilliamsmedia.com and wfustyle.com.
- Follow more posts about the October 2 gala at #reynoldagala, and meet the men and women behind these looks at An Evening for Reynolda! (Missed getting your seat at this year's gala? Save the date for next year's event, Friday, October 7, 2016.)
Noah Williams: For this first look, I kept things fairly straightforward: a gorgeous black tuxedo, with a crisp white shirt, black shoes, and, for this event, a floral black bowtie.
Gracie Wiener, WFU Style: Finding connections between my three personas is inevitable. As an Art History major, florist, and fashion enthusiast, I am constantly struck by the influences these fields have had on each other for hundreds of years ...

Last year was an interesting year for media streaming devices. The Chromecast was, of course, one of the most popular options available on the market. With good reason too. the price of the device compared to what it can do makes the Chromecast an excellent and affordable option for those looking for a media streaming device. That said, last year was also the year that Amazon decided to fully enter the market. Early on in the year, they released their Fire TV unit which seemed to do well enough. However, in the second half of the year, the company then decided to take the Chromecast head on, with the release of their Fire TV stick.
The Fire TV stick was announced back in October and is exactly what it sounds like, a Fire TV functional device but wrapped within a Chromecast-like stick. When the device did launch, it seemed to do extremely well and sold out very quickly, marking its position within the market. Similar to the Chromecast, this was largely thought to be due to the competitive pricing of the device. However, the device took some time in leaving the U.S. and only became available to UK residents in March of this year. Not to mention, in the UK, the Fire TV stick was priced at £35 which effectively, defines the device at a higher price than what it is priced in the U.S.
Well, if you had been thinking about picking up a Fire TV stick in the UK but did not like the £35 price tag, then it seems now might be a good time to buy. Amazon UK is currently showing the Fire TV stick has been reduced to £25. Which does in fact, bring the device in line (straight currency conversion terms) with the U.S. price. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be a permanent price change but instead a limited time sale price and therefore, if you are interested then it will probably be wise to buy sooner rather than later. It is also worth noting that other UK retailers seem to be dropping their prices in line with Amazon too. Although, if you want to go the Amazon route then you can head over to the page listing, by clicking the source link below.

Nest warns users to change potentially-pwned passwords
But breach is not the result of compromise of Nest's systems, firm claims
GOOGLE-OWNED Nest has warned customers to change their passwords, claiming that they might have been compromised.
However, Nest was keen to assert that the password compromise did not come via a breach of Nest's own password databases or a leak from a careless employee. Unusually, the company appears to have discovered the issue via a third party, although exactly which one is unclear.
The story emerged when an employee of the advocacy group Internet Society forwarded an advisory email from Nest to an unnamed customer to Jeff Wilbur, director of the Online Trust Alliance, an initiative within the Society. Wilbur published it as a blog post.
Nest has not revealed its methodology and nor is it known how many customers might have received similar warnings, but Wilbur believes the source of the information may have been the Have I Been Pwned? site run by security researcher Troy Hunt.
He points out that a recent addition to the site is the Pwned Passwords service, which can be used to check if a password appears in any of the half-billion credentials known to have been leaked online. Hashed passwords can also be downloaded from the site allowing for bulk analysis.
However it found out, Nest did the right thing in alerting the customer, Wilbur said. He urged other companies that offer online services to be similarly proactive.
"It appears Nest proactively compared their customers' passwords to a list of known compromised passwords and sent an alert, even going so far as to suggest that the account might be disabled if the password is not changed. This helps stop the spread of illicit access related to compromised passwords while protecting Nest and its customers."
Limiting the impact of compromised passwords is good for everyone he added, also commending Nest for using the opportunity for a "teachable moment" to advise on the merits of two-factor authentication.
"By following Nest's lead - conducting proactive password hygiene and utilising multi-factor authentication - we can all limit the ongoing damage caused by passwords compromised in breaches." µ

Meet Peter Shelb0, a veteran of Spader 20 Groups and President/Co-Founder of Tour West America. His premier charter bus service is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. With over 30 years experience in the business, Shelbo emerged as an industry leader.
Shelbo's achievements were highlighted at the 2013 UMA-NTA Travel Exchange. His team was awarded BusRide Magazine's prestigious Motorcoach Industry Achievement Award, honoring Tour West America as a motorcoach company that has demonstrated drive, excellence and innovation in the industry.
Shelbo's recognition didn't end there. His company also received the UMA Vision Award for embodying excellence in the motorcoach and charter bus industry. This prestigious award is given each year to one of the over 900 member companies.
Like most prosperous businesses, success is not a one-stop destination. Shelbo's path has been shaped by relationships nurtured and opportunities seized.
How did you come to start your business?
Peter Shelbo: Well, I was out of a job, actually. I was in the food service business and I literally was ending my job in about two weeks. A customer of mine dropped into the restaurant I was managing for the past three years. He asked what I was doing. I told him I didn't know; I didn't have a job. I told him the place was shutting down and I didn't know what to do. He said, "Well why don't you buy my bus business?" It's crazy.
Long story short – that was the middle of May. By August we worked out a deal where he financed the purchase. I borrowed $4,000 from family and friends to get through the first month and B.J. and I moved to Yuma [Arizona]. There he taught me to drive a motorcoach.
We were lucky enough to stay out of bankruptcy for a long time and continue to grow the business. I started with Spader in 2006. That was the best thing that happened to my business. I was put on a straight path.
How did you form your relationship with Spader?
PS: I had heard that a friendly competitor in town had gotten some help from a consultant. It turned out to be Spader.
Our relationship began at the UMA. I had seen Duane [Spader] give a couple presentations for a few years and his material made sense. Then they announced the 20 Group, and it was available for UMA. I was one of the first guys to sign up. I made that decision rather quickly. The connection might have been in January, and by March we were off to South Dakota to have our first meeting.
What important lessons have you learned from Spader 20 Group?
PS: Well, knowing and understanding your numbers. Having metrics. Being able to develop successful processes that are available to you from either the facilitator or other group members.
There's so much information that's shared [at Spader 20 Groups]. If you take it and use it, you can really grow your business – and own your business – like you wouldn't be able to, you know?
You cannot receive that kind of help elsewhere. Each of us in the group is there to better our business and learn from each other. Since we do not compete, there is no holding back. We are like a family working to improve. Sometimes we even have an intervention!
What is your relationship like with the other Spader 20 Group members?
PS: Some have become extremely close friends. My closest friends in the industry still.
What does it mean to your business to have those relationships? How does that really impact you?
PS: Well, to have somebody to talk to, you know?
When you're having a really hard time with something, you can just talk to another owner. They have the same issues; they have the same feelings that you do. You can work it out, or have a listen, or get advice.
This particular group is very tight in that any time there's a question that one might have about a process, or a product, or a service, an email goes out to everybody. Those that wish to respond can respond, and help, and assist. That's very valuable.
You may go to the associations and have a little bit of time for a meeting at UMA or ABA or whatever it might be that you're in. But you're really going to get those kind of relationships built [at 20 Groups]. You don't have that [bond] if you're just in your backyard trying to get by. Who are you going to talk to?
We take each other to task. When we visit with a member we dare to really help that member. That's really important.
The site review can become emotional because you know the owners and the business dynamics. Many members are second- and third- generation family businesses, each with their own struggles and tough decisions to make when planning for the future. The first generation upstarts have so much to learn from this history.
Our daughter has recently entered the business. We don't have a longterm plan set yet, but I am better prepared to manage the new company dynamic successfully. You learn from the members' challenges, successes, and failures. You do a lot of listening, but you also interject when you can help. It's very professional.
Anytime somebody asks me, "How did you better your business? What can I do?" I tell them, "Join a 20 Group." Some are scared to do it. They don't want to share numbers, for whatever reason. There should be no fear. It's a great tool. A great tool to have. I wouldn't miss it [a Spader 20 group] for the world.

Leamor Kahanov hears the story all the time.
A family doctor orders some blood tests and recommends a trip to the heart specialist.
Because the two doctors don't talk to each other, the cardiologist orders the exact same blood tests, duplicating what the first doctor did.
Little or no communication between health workers often trips up care delivery, drags it out and drives up costs.
Kahanov, Misericordia University's dean of the College of Health Sciences and Education, envisions the health worker of the future breaking the inefcient cycle.
She's part of a team of educators shaping how health workers learn to collaborate rather than treat patients in a vacuum.
Month after month, economists and analysts name health care and education as two key industries carrying the local economy, creating jobs and accounting for billions in investment.
Through interprofessional study — where students of all disciplines learn together — leaders of one industry, education, are pushing leaders of the other, health care, to pull out all the stops.
"We're trying to field a really strong team that is centered around the patient. So it is important to know what all of our professionals do," Kahanov said. "It's everyone right down to housekeepers, janitors, everyone working in a health care system."
She's speaking next month at the Collaborating Across Borders health conference in Alberta, Canada, on how 120 Misericordia students of nursing, physical and occupational therapies, speech pathology and medical imaging collaborated to hold a number of clinics for the elderly, and people with disabilities and chronic illness.
Misericordia only recently formalized interprofessional education, writing it directly into the curriculum for all health care training.
The new programs follow nearly a decade of work among the Northeastern/Central Pennsylvania Interprofessional Education Coalition's 12 member colleges and universities.
Coalition members have been wrestling with how to tighten up communication between the myriad disciplines that often touch a single patient, but struggle to collaborate.
Fixing that can happen a few of different ways, the educators say.
'Improving patient care'
Some providers might use a single electronic medical record to track and shape a patient's progress together.
"Even though we might not all be there at the same time, and we may be conversing via a medical record or a phone call, we're including the appropriate people … versus letting that person be siloed and sending them in all different directions," said Laurie Brogan, chair of Misericordia's interprofessional committee.
Another way might have a team of professionals in a certain clinic gather at the end of the day to debrief and draw on each expert's specific skills.
This is especially useful in complex cases, Kahanov said.
The coalition began in 2008, and one of its hallmarks has been an annual summit.
In April, it drew nearly 900 students to seven locations where they broke off into mixed groups to pitch in on a single hypothetical case.
"The students learn from each other then what different disciplines are thinking about this particular case," said Dr. Karen Arscott, an assistant professor at the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine and the coalition's chairwoman.
Students who understand how they fit into a bigger health care picture are better at collaborating when they leave the classroom for the clinic, said Sandra L. Richmond, assistant dean of nursing at Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport, a coalition member.
"One of our goals is to help students from the various health science fields to understand one another's role and how each is a valued player in improving patient care and patient outcomes," she said.
Medical school roots
Before the coalition, Arscott was at Marywood University directing the physician's assistant program.
Scranton's medical school had only three employees back then, a dean, an administrative assistant and a curriculum dean.
They sent letters to Arscott and more than a dozen others inviting them to craft the school's original curriculum requirements before beginning to recruit faculty.
"I thought it was extremely wise of them to invite the leaders of all different health care disciplines in the area to be on the original curriculum committee," she said.
By June of 2008, the college hired enough faculty to replace the ad-hoc committee with its own teachers, but medical school officials suggested keeping the band together as an interprofessional coalition.
"It was the medical school that formed us," Arscott said, going on to explain that group members, like Kahanov will do next month, have gone on to share their model with health educators at home and abroad.

Fiat Daily posted on February 24, 2019 08:45:08
Mixed feelings about this token. Obviously for the ICO investors among us it is highly disappointing, the token being 87% below ICO price in ETHER (never mind how much that would be in USD). Trading is laughably low at $300k which is even higher than its marketcap, which is quite extraordinary. The founders already had a platform for connecting contractors and customers since 2014 and decided to add blockchain and crypto to enhance the reliability of contractor reviews. The plan of the platform is to utilize Ethereum (for the token that is split in the a dividend token and utility token) and Steemit (for the immutable ledger of reviews and ratings (up/down votes), which seems like a reasonable idea. The platform is launched and the roadmap completed. Founders are still active in TG and people are using the platform. But obviously investors are not happy yet with the lagging performance of the token. I do like the concept and considering they have launched a working product, I wouldn't describe this project as a scam. However, I do have the feeling money grab was a big part of this ICO and the team is overpaid for its project. John McAfee was an adviser and shiller during ICO phase, which is a red flag and on a personal note: my personal experience with the ICO was that it was extremely chaotic and unprofessionally managed by the team. Also, tokens were initially credited to an account on the website, after which they were supposed to be distributed to your Ether wallet. I know many people have received their tokens, however I have not and even after reporting this a few times, the issue is still unresolved and no tokens received so far (truth said, due to the disappointing price, I haven't felt really motivated to actively resolve the matter either, but still it doesn't look favorable for the project nonetheless). So on some issues I would rate this not shady, on other issues I would rate this very shady, leaves us with an average of shady for Bobs! I wish I could bring it down to just slightly shady, because deep in my heart I am actually in favor of this project's concept and stated goals and I do believe they have realized a reasonably functional product with a proper implementation and utilization of blockchain and their cryptocurrency token, I am just disappointed about a little too many of shady issues around the project. Perhaps the future will prove us wrong, but for now, and also looking at CMC, it doesn't look so well!

text: TV / Video Report: TV Stations Finding Multiple Revenue Streams By Katy Bachman |February 8, 2010 Share By Katy Bachman |February 8, 2010 Share TV stations, formerly reliant on on-air advertising for revenue, are finally finding multiple revenue streams, according to a new report released Monday (Feb. 8) from SNL Kagan. By 2013, the revenue mix for TV stations will have shifted from a 97 percent reliance on on-air ad revenue to 9 percent from retransmission revenue and 7 percent from online revenue. "Based on expectations for increasing online and retrans revenue, that 16 percent from nontraditional sources is expected to continue to grow, with mobile interactive revenue also potentially contributing to the category," wrote Robin Flynn, author of the report. The more diversified revenue base should help TV stations make up some of the revenue ground lost since 2006 when total revenue stood at $24.6 billion. By 2013, total revenue will reach close to $22 billion, up from less than $19 billion in 2009. In addition to revenue diversification, SNL Kagan sees other positive signs from a healthier auto category and robust political spending that should help grow TV station revenue up 5 percent to 7 percent in 2010.

Today's WordPress Prompt asked us to talk about something that drives us crazy, and then something that makes us happy. The end result should be finding out if the thing that makes us happy changes our perspective on the thing that drives us crazy.
To be truthful, I'm having trouble conceptualizing how I would link two completely different things together and see if one would change my perspective on the other. For example, my initial thought was that centipedes drive me crazy…. because they do…. and that I love playing the violin… but I can't come up with ANY way that loving to play the violin would make me 'appreciate' a centipede. None.
I decided to take this spin on it:
Sometimes, other drivers drive me crazy. This is not to say that I've never made a mistake driving, because I certainly have. But yesterday morning, for example, I was cut off by a woman making a left turn out of a Tim Horton's parking lot, and she just smiled and waved at me as she did it, as if I'd been nice and let her in. I hadn't, though I normally do if I can… but I didn't have the space in this instance. In fact, I had to slam on my brakes so hard to avoid slamming into her car as she did it, that the contents of my purse landed on the floor of the passenger side when it fell upside down off the seat.
The fact that I absolutely love driving, and the fact that I'm able to and have a car to do so in… it shifted my perspective a bit. Well, more so than a violin can shift my perspective about centipedes…. I digress.
I love driving. I love being able to go from place to place …. where I want to, when I want to… I can go see my parents. I can leave town to go shopping. I do what I want. I do what I need to. I can help others by doing the same… going where is needed. My car is in good shape, it's pretty fuel efficient, and being a hatchback, it has phenomenal trunk space when the back seats are folded down.
Perspective Shift: As much as other peoples' bad driving habits drive me crazy sometimes, as I'm sure my bad habits drive others crazy…. As much as that is true… I am so thankful that I have a car, that I'm able to drive, and that I can do so freely.
The end.

So technically I didn't do exactly this deed- but I did something related. More than 20 million Americans have asthma (including me!) and nearly 4,000 people die each year. Pollutants in the environment pose increased health hazards to asthma sufferers. The deed said to check out www.lungusa.org to help participate in the local Asthma Walk.
I logged on, but unfortunately couldn't find anything that dealt with the asthma walk. There was a volunteer sign-up, but I didn't sign up. There are a lot of volunteer opportunities in the book and I don't want to go volunteer crazy and over-tax myself. Luckily, there was a deed I could do- hello, Clean Air Act Amendments of 2010, s 2995.
This Amendment has been introduced into the Senate and aims to strengthen the Clean Air Act already in place.The Amendment aims to clean up sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and mercury from power plants. The bill will dramatically reduce air pollution across the country. Each year, fine particles and ozone (which are created by nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide) lead to thousands of premature deaths and illnesses. EPA estimates that the bill could prevent between 12,000 and 30,000 premature deaths each year. This important legislation will provide significant public health benefits that will lead to less asthma attacks, emergency room visits and even fewer premature deaths.
Simply by filling out information about yourself and hitting send, a letter is sent to your local senators (hello Mr. Ensign and Mr. Reid) asking them to support the Amendment. This is similiar to the Child Soldier letter in that it takes maybe 3 minutes to do!
- In regards to post #995 rooting out ambivalence, I have done it. I have made my decision and stuck with it even though it hurts my heart…The hardest decision I've ever made, definetely not the easy one, but the right one for the time being….
- And for #800, I chose to apply to volunteer with Shade Tree. I filled out an online application and am waiting to hear back. I think I may give them a call later today or tomorrow.
Until tomorrow…
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world."

We get it, sometimes it's impossible not to pop a pimple. It's especially hard to resist the temptation when you have a giant whitehead glaring back at you in the mirror. But what is a whitehead exactly (other than really, really gross)? A whitehead is a type of acne that is formed when dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria get trapped in one of your pores or hair follicles. The pore's oil secretions build up behind the blockage, and bacteria in the pore essentially feeds of the oil secretions, causing the pore to become inflamed which creates a pus. This gross combination gets caught under the skin and is closed off from the outside air, causing the blemish to remain white.
READ MORE: How Not To Pick At A Pimple
Grossed out yet? Although most people know that popping pimples is taboo, but it can be hard to resist picking and prodding at a pimple. Some whiteheads are just asking to be popped! However, when you have a whitehead, there's one thing you should always avoid doing: you should never push too hard to pop it. The most important thing to remember is that if a pimple doesn't pop easily, you shouldn't force it. Seriously, squeezing a pimple too soon can result in infections and scarring. Pushing and squeezing a zit can irritate the skin around it. You also spread bacteria everywhere when you pop a pimple, which can lead to even more pimples. Plus, if you push too hard, you risk pushing bacteria and dirt deeper into the pore.
READ MORE: The One Thing You Should Never Do To Your Blackheads
If you can't resist the urge to pick, there are some ways "safe" ways to pop a whitehead. You should only pop pimples that have a white, raised head. You can hold a warm compress to the blemish to help bring the pimple to the surface. Most importantly, make sure your hands are clean. If you are using a tool (like this one) make sure it is sterilized before using it. After you pop a whitehead, clean the affected area with alcohol or antibiotic cream. This will help prevent further infections.

However, your best bet is to avoid popping altogether and letting the whitehead run it's course. Popping isn't worth the damage it can cause! Check out our tips for avoiding picking at your skin here.
