The Bluetooth icon is also missing in Control Panel tray.

I recently Upgraded my Laptop to windows 8.1. Before i was using Windows 8, in that i used Bluetooth to send files. But after upgrading to windows 8.1 Bluetooth is not working at all.
Product name: HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC
Product number: C9L68PA#ACJ
I updated the latest windows update and in Hp assistant as well.
I have HP Pavilion g6-2206tx Notebook PC which was running windows 8(64-bit).
Recently I updated to windows 8.1 . All things are fine after the update i.e., all the hardware and software are working properly expect bluetooth . bluetooth is not working & i tried all the ways to run it.
It seems that there is no bluetooth hardware in my laptop . I contacted hp also & they gave me 1 update and it also won't work.
My laptop product number - C0P19PA
I have an HP Pavilion dm4-1150ea running Windows 7 64bit.
I bought a bluetooth audio receiver and it paired with the laptop and installed a driver. I was able to stream audio to the receiver but when I closed the laptop and later opened it, it stopped working.
I looked in device manager and the bloetooth radios were no longer there and there were no bluetooth devices under Network Adapters. They had been there previously.
I rebooted a few times and it still didn't work. I got it to work once and it coincided with putting the power lead in. However, it didn't work for long.
HP Wireless Assistant says that Bluetooth is disabled in Device Manager.
I tried downloading the latest bluetooth driver from the HP site but it won't install because bluetooth isn't running.
At some point I got a message saying that a USB device had failed. I can see a warning icon on an "Unknown Device" in the USB Controllers section of Device Manager.
I tried to do a system restore but that failed because it couldn't get access to a file.
how I can get blue tooth working again?

my Bluetooth device is not working properly after
Product name - HP Pavilion g6-2016tx , Product no - B3H81PA with
Windows Original version - Windows 7 Home basic 64 bit and Windows currently installed - Windows 7 Home basic 64 bit.
Last week my PC got crashed due to hard disk problem , hence OS & all other softwares reinstalled with drivers from then this problem is there.when checked in the bluetooth seetings it shows the device is working properly.but when i try to connect i am not able to establish connection between my mobile and laptop the connection is failing.
I just buy a laptop (pavilion 15-p050sq). I using windows 7 ultimate x64. I want wireless and bluetooth drivers for my laptop.
And a second question is, wich button turn on/off wireless or wich quick command such as fn+f12 (btw this don't work)
My Laptop HP Pavilion has a verry annoying Problem . In My Windows 8 (64 bit) Action center i have this massage :
it said that the bluetooth driver isn't installed although i've installed " Ralink Bluetooth Software Driver " , But was no new !! This is device manager after installing it :
there is no bluetooth driver installed !!
then i've downloaded " Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth 4.0+HS Driver for Microsoft Windows 8 " & tried installing it , then i got this massage :
Note That :
- at first , all mentioned above occured but bluetooth was working ( sanding & Recieving ) .. But now all the above occured in addition , bluetooth went out and no longer working.
- i've tried "hp Support Assistant" for updating my devices and it can't detect that bluetooth isn't installed.
- you can see in the picture of device manager an " Unknown Device" and when i tried automatic online search for device , there is nothing !!
-In The action Center Notification there is another issue that " hotkey utility key not installed " .
I have the HP Pavilion g6 2346 nr and I am missing the Ralnik bluetooth driver ,the last time I saw it in devices it was the 4.0 driver. I downloaded the driver from HP site an hour ago it was in a pkg (sp60071) I opened it and clicked on setup but all it did was install the device and not the driver. The instruction I read were to delete the old driver first which I did and that left me with no bluetooth in the devices column until I clicked setup in the pkg I previosly described.
BTW I can connect to the internet but this driver (bluetooth) is for my bluetooth devices ,cell etc .
I have finally tested the Acer Empowering Technology software on my Acer D150.
Great news, the software works to enable/disable the Bluetooth module on the netbook without physically pressing the button. This is great for people like me that do not have the button on top to push the button inside. There are two software needed for people to get this running on the D150. First is the required �Acer Empowering Framework� software and the second is the �Acer ePower Management.� Once both software are installed on the system, the setting to enable/disable the Bluetooth module is in the ePower Management.
Power profiles within windows will probably be reset to default, so those would have to be readjusted if a user changed them. I am actually running Windows Vista on my Acer D150 with the Acer Empowering Technology software for Vista. I am not 100% sure if the software will also work on XP, but from the notebookreview forums, I believe it should work just as fine (but more options on other Empowering Technology software).
(in XP, the driver also works, but need XP edition, not vista editon).

As lawmakers in Ghana's Parliament discuss how to build for themselves a ultramodern Chamber at an estimated cost of $200 million, pupils of Gbeo D/A Primary School in the West Mamprusi District of the North East Region are compelled to sit on stones and lie on the floor to learn.
Last Friday the planned construction of the 450-seater parliamentary Chamber
was announced when members of the Parliamentary Service Board received a model for the proposed new Chamber.
Majority Leader and Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Kyei Mensa-Bonsu, said "we all think that the facility should not exceed a certain amount; that is $200 million. We are looking at anything between $150 million and $200 million."
The announcement was greeted with agitations from some Ghanaians who believe the amount could be use to build relevant social infrastructure such as schools and hospitals.
And as the debate rages on, the pupils are having butts on hard rocks for hours to learn.
Constructed in 1990, the Gbeo Primary School has not seen any facelift or renovation which compels pupils to go home anytime it rains due to the destruction of the school building roof.
The Gbeo D/A Primary School lacks furniture from nursery to class six.
With only three classrooms and a student population of over 200 from nursery to Primary six, management of the school are compelled to practice the multi-grade system. This according to the headteacher of the school, Benjamin Apuri, makes it difficult for effective learning
He called on government, the Ghana Education Service, GETFund, and the Ministry of Education to go to their aid. Rita, a class five pupil of the school narrated her ordeal to DGN Online, saying she experienced regular back and body pains which was as a result of her sitting posture.
"For long hours I sit or lie on the floor to take my lessons. My fear is that my spine will be affected in the future or I will develop a very chronic disease like asthma, or any respiratory disease," she says.

"You don't look biracial," he says, certain. We've just met.
When my Japanese mother says "American," she means white. Success meant assimilation.
"Your freckles come from your mom's side?" The usual disbelief. Can a face look like two histories intertwined?
Kids pulled at the corners of their eyes to taunt me. Salespeople in Tokyo respond to my fluent Japanese with broken English.
No one questions my husband's identity. Dutch father, American mother, he is tall, blonde. He's also Brazilian, that passport, with its stiff blue cover, bestowed by birth.
My skin, like his, is pale. But freckled. And unabashedly biracial.

Hearing targets H-1
expansions effect on
homes, church
Residents and DepartmentBy Harold Morse
of Transportation workers discuss
concerns and offer written
or taped testimony
Waimalu Grace Brethren Church and Pre-School, a fixture in Aiea since 1983, is in an unsafe place in the eyes of highway builders.
Even if the state were not adding a sixth westbound lane to the freeway, the church at 98-342 Ponohana Place would have to move because chunks of concrete might fall on it from the existing freeway, state officials say.
Nine homes and the church that would be displaced by the widening of the H-1 freeway westbound from five to six lanes from Kaonohi Street to the Waiau Interchange, also known as Pearl City exit, were the focus of testimony last night at Waimalu Elementary School cafeteria
The hearing was different in that no testimony was read to the group. It was either recorded on tape individually, recorded by a court reporter individually or submitted in written form on sheets provided. More is expected to be submitted in the next 11 days.
Ron Tsuzuki, head planning engineer for the state Highways Division, said this hearing format has been used on the mainland and is relatively new here.
Some people who might be reluctant to speak before a large group may relay their comments more readily in this less formal setting, Tsuzuki said. "It's not as intimidating."
A number of state Department of Transportation people were on hand to discuss the project with residents informally. Project-related displays were set up. A 10-minute video played repeatedly to explain the project. Although about 100 residents were on hand when the 6:30 p.m. hearing began, only a handful remained by 8 p.m.
Judy Hiromura, church member and resident of nearby Waimalu Gardens, who earlier put testimony on tape, said if the church has to move, a big concern is state help in relocating.
"They want us to permanently move out of there," she said. "They don't want to risk the possibility of injury."
"My main issue is I hope the state just doesn't forget about us. I want them to do whatever they can to help us to relocate." The church has an excellent youth program and guides young people away from trouble, she said.
Brad Scully, a church elder, said the state no longer wants to lease property underneath the freeway, but the church has many years left on its 55-year lease. "They're going to cancel our lease."
He said he hopes for a fair and equitable settlement. "We couldn't afford to go out and replace what we've got now." Scully said he would submit his testimony in written form before the Sept. 27 deadline. "My concern is a fair deal for the church," he said.

Kia Optima vs Kia Forte
Kia Optima vs Kia Forte
Do you want a family car or a commuter car? If you have regular backseat passengers or kids, you're going to want the midsize Optima. And, believe us, if car seats are in the picture, you're going to want the Optima. But if the car is mostly for you and maybe one other person getting to and from work or running errands, the compact Forte works just fine. In this comparison guide, we're working hard to find the car that fits you and your life perfectly. Read on to get a handle on which four-door sedan is best for you.
Price: 2019 Kia Forte
A lot of us might be driving bigger cars if money were no object. Who doesn't like the convenience of a large trunk or the comfort of wide seats? But money does matter, and it turns out many of us can get by with less cargo room and an average-sized seat. The 2019 Kia Optima starts at $22,900. What does that price pay for? Well, because the Optima is wider than the Forte, the seats are wider as well. Not surprisingly, critics praise the Optima for its comfort, a blessing on long drives. And while the Forte and the Optima are both slated to seat five passengers and have two sets of car seat latches, the Optima is going to be better not only for comfort but for car seat installation as well. Those who have wrestled car seats in and out of cars know what we're talking about.
Meanwhile, the Kia Forte starts at just $17,700, meaning you save over 5 grand. That's money you leave in the bank for an upcoming trip or paying down debt. We think the price difference between the Forte and Optima is just the cost of materials. The Forte is also 650 pounds lighter than the Optima. Of course, being smaller inevitably means there's less space in the Forte, narrower seats and a smaller trunk, though it's only 0.7 cubic feet smaller, about the size of a large grocery bag.
Power: 2019 Kia Optima
This one goes to the Optima, but with one caveat. Though the Optima's 185-horsepower base engine is obviously stronger than the 147-hp four-cylinder engine in the Forte, remember that the Forte has less curb weight to move. In raw power, the Optima wins but in terms of performance, these base engines are pretty evenly matched.
Even so, the Optima has one of two engine upgrades on offer while the Forte has only the base engine. We're talking about the Optima's 178 and 245 horsepower turbocharged engines. For a little extra moolah, get ready to move. But Kia isn't leaving the Forte out in the cold. Kia is introducing its version of the CVT with its Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). The IVT is the latest tech for Kia, and already it's praised for being responsive and reliable.
In most other ways, the Kia Optima and Forte are pretty evenly matched. Being smaller, the Kia Forte naturally gets better fuel economy, but options and tech are row for row nearly the same. Really, it comes down to space, comfort, affordability, and power. Which fits you?

I have always been a huge fan of blackwork. Popular during the Tudor times, it was used to embellish garments with some sort of fill pattern. Traditionally, it has been worked with black thread (or scarletwork is worked in red thread) on white fabric (hence the name). It's simple, yet elegant and it is a lot of fun to do! More modern takes on blackwork are stitched on many different types of evenweave fabrics and don't limit the thread to just plain black thread. It can be stitched in any color on any type of fabric.
Last year I received a pattern for a blackwork Persian cat. I can't wait to work on it. Since it has been quite some time since I last stitched a blackwork design, I decided to work on a smaller, less complex design. I had a pattern called "Baa Baa Blackwork Sheep" by Kincavel Krosses in my stash for quite a while now. Since I finished one of my UFOs, I felt it was certainly permissable to start a new WIP. That being said, I plan to alternate UFOs with new projects until all my UFOs are completed.
Of course, I say this now and it all sounds like a great plan, but we shall see how it goes. As long as my dear stitching bug doesn't leave me again, I should be all good to go.
So far I have a little bit of the border completed of the design. I decided to go with the traditional black floss on off-white 32 count linen stitching over 2. This is also the first time I'm tracking my progress with an excel spreadsheet and it projects the design will be finished in four days. I seriously doubt that I will have it finished so soon, but it is good to have an idea in mind! Tracking my progress might help with the motivation, too.

Here's the dead tube. Probably not caused by V3.
That looks like a cracked tube. Or maybe its a coke head or something like that.
Yeah, that turned white a couple of weeks after I pulled it from V3. Hence my post above asking if V3 could cause tubes to go bad. I now believe that the tube was dying and it so happened to be in V3.
Lost vacuum. I've had that happen a few times with new production tubes.
IF you hear crackling tap on the tube if it doesn't cause the crackling its not the tubes. More than likely if its eating tubes the fault is on the pcb somewhere.

Shares of Dun & Bradstreet Aren't Done Yet
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
BUSINESS-INFORMATION PROVIDER D&B (ticker: DNB), formerly Dun & Bradstreet, has had a hard road to follow.
The recession has curtailed the budgets of its small-business clients, while the market shaved 13% off the stock after its recent earnings report.
However, D&B's tremendous free cash flow, high-margin business model, and respected management team will make it a solid addition to a portfolio.
"I like the company for the stability of its business model, the overall fundamentals, and barriers to entry," says Stephens Inc. analyst Carter Malloy, who calls the company a solid longer-term investment.
D&B has been called the Moody's of private corporations. With a vast majority -- about 80% -- of the U.S. market, D&B is the leader in risk management, credit ratings, sales and marketing, e-business, and supply-management solutions.
D&B's stock has been a long-term winner: Shares are up 39.4% in the past five years, while both the Dow Jones U.S. Publishing Index and the overall market saw negative returns, and the company outperformed its peers throughout the recession.
However, the stock hasn't participated in the market rally this spring and summer, making it still relatively inexpensive. The shares are changing hands at 11.6 times, less than its five-year 12.5 historical price-to-earnings ratio low. That's lower than the trailing P/Es of Equifax (EFX), Moody's (MCO) and Morningstar (MORN), three competitors that profile public and private businesses for growth, risk, and credit outlooks.
D&B may not see the high levels of revenue growth in the near future as its competitors, but its long-term value is worth the investment. Standard & Poor's Equity Research analyst Pearl Wang says she sees 20% upside from the stock's current levels.
Part of its recent lagging performance is the 13% haircut the stock took after the company's second-quarter revenue came in below consensus and management provided downbeat full-year guidance.
However, D&B is projecting a 1% contraction in revenue at the worst, a situation that Dan Ferris, editor of the Extreme Value newsletter, notes is not uncommon in this economy and shouldn't hold investors back.
"You almost never get a company that gushes free cash flow like this, and even when you do, you almost never get one that gives you, with great certainty, the destination of that cash," he says. "So if you find one like Dun & Bradstreet, you buy it, hang on to it, and keep buying more."
Ferris notes that one of the best things that a company's management can do is to return money to shareholders, through dividends (a 1.8% yield in D&B's case) and share buybacks. D&B's management consistently buys back shares, "not just mopping up option exercises, but really reducing the overall share count," he says.
The company also enjoys strong barriers to entry: D&B's 140 million business records in its proprietary global database has taken years to accumulate and is not easily replicable by competitors. This high-margin business model is one of its greatest strengths.
"They have agreements to collect accounts receivable data from the vast majority of their clients essentially for free, which they then turn around and resell in an organized, compact fashion," Malloy says.
International business -- about 20% of revenue -- has continued to show strength, another bright spot for the company that should grow more dominant over time.
"They are very well positioned in high-growth areas internationally," says S&P's Wang, who notes that the company expects its business in China alone to reach $20 million in 2010, up from just $5 million three years ago.
Wang is also optimistic about the company's acquisitions and alliances in other countries, including India, Japan and Ireland, and the new products and extensions of existing offerings D&B has in the works. She also notes that with projections for gross domestic product to expand beginning in 2010, the company's flagship North American business should also see a recovery.
Even during the recession, D&B has been able to upsell its clients to DNBi, its subscription software, pushing through high-single-digit price increases at renewal, according to GARP Research & Securities analyst George Sakellaris.
To be sure, D&B will continue to face headwinds, and some competitors might see faster growth. But barriers to entry into the business will keep the company in its enviable position of market leader, and its international growth potential and responsible management should make it an excellent long-term holding.
Which means D&B should be back on easy street soon.
Full Disclosure
- Standard & Poor's Equity Research analyst Pearl Wang has a Buy (four stars) rating on D&B, and a $90 price target.
- Stephens Inc. research analyst Carter Malloy has an Equal Weight rating on D&B and an $80 price target.
- GARP Research & Securities analyst George Sakellaris has a Buy rating on D&B.

How to Calculate Golf Handicap With 9 Holes
Golf Legs image by Vanessa van Rensburg from Fotolia.com
Your golf handicap index allows you to fairly compete with players of all skill levels by allowing you a specific number of extra strokes on an 18-hole golf course. Because of time constraints, you may prefer to play 9-hole rounds. If that's the case, you should calculate your 9-hole handicap index as well. Figuring out the 9-hole handicap differentials used to calculate your index involves making a simple adjustment to the 18-hole handicap differential formula: You divide course ratings by 2.
Calculating a 9-Hole Handicap Differential
Play a 9-hole round of golf and write down your score.
Calculate the adjusted course rating by dividing the given course rating by 2. This applies only to 18-hole courses. If you have played a 9-hole course, you will not need to adjust the course rating.
For example, imagine you played 9 holes on an 18-hole course with a rating of 72.3. The adjusted course rating would be 72.3 divided by 2, or 36.2.
Plug the results from Steps 1 and 2 into the following formula for your handicap differential:
Handicap Differential = (Score - Adjusted Course Rating) x (113 / Course Slope).
The calculation would look like this on a course with a slope of 120:
Handicap Differential = (44 - 36.2) x (113 / 120) = 7.3.
Add an "N" to the differential calculation to indicate that it is a 9-hole handicap: 7.3N.
Calculating a 9-Hole Handicap Index
Write down the best five of your latest 9-hole handicap differentials. The Professional Golf Association recommends calculating your handicap index based on 20 scores, but will accept indexes calculated from five. For example, imagine that your best five differentials lately have been 7.5N, 8.0N, 7.3N, 7.9N and 7.8N.
Average the five differentials. In the example, the calculation would look like this:
Average = (7.5N + 8.0N + 7.3N + 7.9N + 7.8N) / 5 = 7.7N.
Multiply the average by 0.96 to obtain your 9-hole handicap index. In the example, the calculation would look like this:
Handicap Index = 0.96 x 7.7N = 7.4N.

In my town it's illegal to ask non whites for money up front, city ordinance. She gets in, says she's going to the worst slum in town, and that her sister is going to pay for it when she gets there. I didn't ask for money up front, but you just volunteered that you don't have any, is that correct? Again, her sister is going to pay for it. Well, ma'am, if you don't have any money I can't take you.

When the police finally get there to remove her from the cab, I'm standing next to the open drivers door, and very dramatically, so the police see her to it, she jumps out of the cab, honks and spits on my back, and yells, "This honky mother fucker won't take me because I'm black."

The cops asked me what I wanted to do, and I told them I didn't care. She was out of my cab, that was what I needed. I never checked, but since she did it so dramatically in front of a cop, I didn't have to press charges. The cops witnessed her being disorderly, and making a racial slur, so the racial slur kicker on the ticket was a cinch.Real cab driverhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792557820802278243.post-70147497427033154942010-03-15T09:40:02.436-04:002010-03-15T09:40:02.436-04:00Missed this post, Joe.

- And they say it highlights a bigger problem within the country.
A mixed-race couple that appeared in an ad together were forced to flee the country afterwards. The couple received racist abuse and threatening comments after their ad appearing in a supermarket chain in Ireland.
It was journalist and commentator, Gemma O'Doherty, already known for causing controversy that started the attacks with a tweet. "German dump Lidl gaslighting the Irish people with their multicultural version of 'The Ryans'. Kidding no one! Resist the Great Replacement wherever you can by giving this kip a wide berth. #ShopIrish #BuyIrish."
Since the tweet, Fiona Ryan and Jonathan Mathis, the two appearing in mixed-race ad, have said they have seen lots of other worrying and negative comments. The comments have left Ryan "physically shaking."
"When I read through them I was pretty shaken. I feared for my safety and my son's safety. It was pretty harrowing, and I don't think anyone should be subjected to that kind of online abuse," Ryan said.
Ryan went to the gardaí (the Irish police) and shared screenshots of what was happening. She was told it was a civil issue, racism against a mixed-race couple. After going in again a few days later, she was given an investigative officer.
The couple has since left the country, and say that their experience only highlights a bigger problem within Ireland. "I was so shaken. I broke down in tears. It was the last straw and, yes, we decided we really need to lay low, to leave. We booked flights. We just thought, 'Could they actually find us if we stay where we are?'" Ryan shared with the local media.
"If my 22-month-old son has to live in a country that doesn't protect his right to be who he is, then I'm not going to live in a country that does that to my child."
The Lidl Ireland store and other Twitter users have spoken out in support of the couple.
"After offensive and racist tweets from Gemma O'Doherty we have decided to block and report her to @Twitter . We are proud of our multicultural & diverse team and our customers. We are proud to work with, and serve, each and every one of them. Everyone is welcome in our store."

Security is the prime concern for anyone. You might need additional protection apart from the caretakers. You will need protection from trespassers or entry of unauthorized vehicles on your property. A guard or a caretakes might be assigned to do such a job, but he might have certain limitations being a human. Thus, if you want to restrict the entry of unauthorized vehicles on your property, you can opt for boom gates.
What Are Boom Gates?
A boom gate is a kind of gate that consists of a bar mounted on a block, which can be closed and opened by raising and lowering the bar in a vertical arc-like position. The boom gate is good to enhance security and privacy; these are very cost-friendly and are available in both manual and electric operations. You can spot them in the parking areas and other commercial places where there is a need to control the flow of the traffic while barring the unauthorized entry.
Some Of The Benefits Of Using Boom Gates Are Given Below:
- Improved Security: With the help of boom gates you can easily allow and deny the entry of vehicles in your residential or commercial property. These gates are remotely controlled by a push-button or remote control. Thus, limiting the access of unauthorized entry. These gates will also stop any vehicle from entering your property very efficiently and no vehicle will be able to enter your premises even with force because of this gate. It also allows you to monitor or record the registration details of every vehicle which enters your property.
- Control Traffic Flow: If there are multiple vehicles on your property, then the problem of blockage on the gate will be very common at times. This becomes especially important when we talk about commercial complexes where there is a large flow of traffic. But if you have boom gates installed on your property, then it will help in controlling the traffic flow from your property as it allows to control how many vehicles are on your property at a time, and in case your parking gets full you can prevent any further entry using boom gates.
- Save Money On Extra Security Costs: A boom gate will be very efficient saving additional security costs which means you will need lesser security personnel for guarding your property. Also, it will be very easier for security personnel designated on the gate to protect the property with the help of boom gates.
- Made To Last: Boom gates are very durable and consist of very durable machinery which can withstand a great amount of wear and tear, also it is weatherproof and waterproof which makes their maintenance very lesser costing.
- Instant Privacy: A boom gate protects your privacy by restricting access to unwanted vehicles that roam around and from the people who will try to stick around near your property.
- Efficient Use Of Space: Unlike the conventional gate systems, the boom gates don't occupy much space.
- Easy Exit Even In Case Of Power Failure: In case a power failure happens, the entry and exit still remain very easier also, in cases of power failure these gates can be manually lifted up and can be closed as well very easily.
Final Thoughts- In case you are looking for additional security of your property and want to protect your premises from unwanted vehicles and visitors, then you can get boom gates . These are installed on your property which will surely prove beneficial for you and your property.

dont like the models that much but your interpretation in terms of colour scheme is superb.
Thank you!
I like only this old metal plaguebearers, new one are in less ugly style in my opinion.
Pretty cool display of sick/death flesh. I might be wrong, but they look like they were painted using the same technique you used on one plaguebearer a couple of weeks ago (washes only). If so, can you tell us how much time it took to paint those? It looks to me like it could be faster than using paint…
Yes, it's painted only with GW glazes and washes + white paint. Faster…. don't know, 1 guy this way take about 4h so it's quite fast. You can try to play with white basecoat and glazes+washes. Start from lightest colors and go step by step to darkest shadows. It's something different than usuall highlighting.
Hey :)
Its Michael from Germany, we met at the Hussar in Poland! I hope you had no trouble to get your sword through customs ;)
Awesome work (as usual) that you show here – great great art!
Hope to see you at the Chrystal Brush next year!
Hi Michael, we meet at hussar, that's true, but I'm Lukasz, Ctan – not Nakatan :)
Do you have or plan to do a tutorial of you plaguebeares?
unfortunately not
Fantastic job!
I'm really interested in knowing how you made that violet/blue bruising on the hand of the plaguebearer furthest to the right in the last picture? That is model is the best plaguebearer I have ever seen.
Is it just washes or did you apply a base of dark blue first?
Thanks Alexander!
Here you can see colors I used to paint this guys: fantasygames.com.pl/blog/plaguebearer/. 3 glazes from GW, black and white. I start from white background color and softly glazing from birghtest glazes to darkest. There is many layers of thin glazes. I also mix them in variety of ways – same as you can mix base colors (red, blue, yellow). Guys from left have or even dont have yellow glaze and on the right are heavily saturated with yellow and warmer colors.

Cadillac driver reportedly grabs man's cocker spaniel
Message from Edward Spink:
A man in a Cadillac picked up my Cocker Spaniel by the car wash in LeRoy NY on Main Street 12\22\2011 in the evening. She is blonde –white and sixteen years old. If anyone knows the whereabouts of her please contact me …she is a part of our family and dearly missed.
This makes me sick to my stomach. What cruelty! Not only is this heart breaking for the family, just imagine that poor, scared, elderly dog and how horrible it must be to get scooped up by a stranger. I hope this guy gets caught and someone is able to help reunite the dog and his family.
I'm just glad the news headline ended in "er spaniel"
Yea, Doug, I did a double take when I first saw it. Mr. Spink, do you have any more details that might help us find this creep. What color was the Cadillac? Can you describe the man at all?
Ed, my husband talked to you in Crocker's yesterday and came home and told me the heart breaking story, but he didn't say it was you. Hope that you get your friend back. Thoughts with you and your family.
Did this man pick up the dog cuz he thought it was a stray? If so...call all the shelters around western ny...if not and he actually stole it...shame on him...
Doug, you beat me to it! I was thinking the same thing, one erroneous shortage of type and it would change the whole story

Johnny Kingdom
Walter John Kingdon (23 February 1939 – 6 September 2018),[1] known as Johnny Kingdom, was an English wildlife filmmaker and photographer specialising in his local area of Exmoor in North Devon.
Kingdom had been a powder monkey, lumberjack,[2] farm worker, quarryman, poacher and for over 50 years the gravedigger for his local parish,[3] but his overriding passion was filming the wildlife on his beloved Exmoor. He made films for over 20 years, with series and documentaries being shown on a number of British television channels.
Kingdom started his career in wildlife filming following a very bad accident whilst driving a tractor in his previous job as a lumberjack. To aid in recovery from his subsequent depression, a friend lent him a video camera and suggested he film wildlife on Exmoor.[2]
His 2006 series Johnny Kingdom: A Year on Exmoor was shown on BBC Two and has been shown on UKTV People and UKTV Gardens, part of the UKTV Network. The series coincided with the publication of his autobiography Johnny Kingdom - A Wild Life on Exmoor. One-off programmes have also been shown featuring visits to Lapland and to the Scottish Highlands. A new BBC series, Johnny's New Kingdom, commenced in March 2008.[3] In this, having now purchased 55 acres of land on Exmoor, Kingdom set out to make it a haven for as much local wildlife as he could.
In 2015 he presented a 4-part series for ITV called Johnny Kingdom's Wild Exmoor which aired on Monday nights at 8.00PM.
In later years he regularly had a stall at Barnstaple Pannier Market from which he sold signed copies of his books, DVDs and photographs of wildlife.[4][5][6]
He died on 6 September 2018 following a digger accident on his land near Knowstone in North Devon.[7] His funeral service took place on 23 September 2018, at St Mary's Parish Church, Bishop's Nympton. He was buried in the churchyard — in a grave that he had prepared himself.[8]

Docket Number USTR-2019-0004
Re: Rebuttal Comments Concerning Proposed Modification of Action Pursuant to Section 301: China's Acts, Policies, and Practices Related to Technology Transfer, Intellectual Property, and Innovation
The Tea Association of the USA, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to provide rebuttal comments on the proposed modification of action pursuant to section 301: China's acts, policies, and practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation. Due to the disproportionate economic harm these tariffs would have on U.S. tea industry and U.S. consumers, our recommendation is to remove black and green teas (HTS subheadings: 0902.10.10, 0902.10.90, 0902.20.10, 0902.20.90, 0902.30.00, 0902.40.00) and instant tea / extracts (Instant/Extracts of Tea (2101.20 series) from the proposed product list.
- Founded in 1899, the Tea Association of the USA, Inc. was formed to promote and protect the interests of the tea trade in the United States and is the recognized independent authority on tea. Our members span the full tea supply chain from growers to packers.
- The Tax and Duty Free import of tea was one of the founding tenets of the American Revolution. The free and unencumbered import of pure tea from its origin is a centuries-old tradition.
- The purpose of the tariffs is to change China's practices relating to technology transfers, intellectual property and innovation. Imposing punitive tariffs on tea would not be effective in changing these practices because tea exports are a very small part of China's overall tea sector. Most tea that China produces is consumed domestically. Moreover, the tea trade does not suffer from unfair technology transfers, theft of intellectual property or stifled innovation. Moreover, punitive tariffs would have a disproportionate economic impact on small and medium-sized enterprises because most of the U.S. importers (those that pay the tariffs) are small businesses.
- The United States is not a tea producing nation. There is no commercial tea grown that needs to be protected by tariffs, nor are there any farm-based jobs that would be protected.
- Like wine, tea varies dramatically due to local terroir (geography, climate and local manufacturing techniques). China has many unique teas that are unavailable elsewhere, due their unique cultivars, terroirs and processing methods. In the area of specialty tea, many teas are unable to be sourced anywhere else in the world.
- Tea production long predates China's rise as a manufacturing powerhouse – it is a rural-based, long-term crop that was not designed to capture foreign business. Its primary market is domestic, which will benefit from a rise in supply due to smaller exports. Further, the percentage of tea exported from China is minimal and China would not be impacted. According to International Tea Committee (ITC) 2017 Annual Bulletin of Statistics:
- China produces ~5.2 Billion pounds of tea and retains ~4.5 Billion pounds for production
- China exports ~0.72 Billion pounds (724,634,383 pounds), of which 0.042 billion pounds (42,744,989 pounds) is imported to the U.S.
- When supply chains are challenged to reduce costs, in this
instance, to mitigate the effect of a 25% tariff, the choices are:
- Reduce headcount resulting in potential (job loss/unemployment)
- Forego investment (conservation of capital/lack of spending for innovation)
- Cheapen product (poorer quality products)
- Charge more (consumers are negatively impacted/inflationary)
- The imposition of tariffs on Chinese tea will not impact the Chinese producer, exporter or government. However, it will negatively impact the U.S. consumer.
We strongly urge you to forego a tax (tariff) on tea as it will negatively impact American businesses and citizens and have no effect on the trade issues with China. We appreciate the opportunity to express the consequences these tariffs would have on the tea industry.

Published: The Scotsman (TSMag) 29 September 2012
A FEW weeks ago on this page I mentioned the story of Andrew Rollo, who was "bumped†by a shark – probably a porbeagle – while surfing at Spey Bay last autumn. (Porbeagles are a lot like great whites, only smaller and less angry-looking.) I also pointed out – twice – that no one has ever been killed by a shark in UK waters, and that there have been very few cases of sharks interacting with humans in any way in this northerly neck of the woods. Still, the thought of large, carnivorous beasties cruising around the Scottish coastline in search of their dinner prompted North Sea surfer Tim Pow to write in, saying he found the whole idea "a bit freaky†and asking me if I could look into the likelihood of his coming into contact with Jaws's little brother while bobbing about in the waves.
Pow also referred me to a recent article in the Surfer's Path magazine, which suggested that sharks are more likely to visit the North Sea in the autumn because this is when grey seals have their pups.
"If this is the case,†he said, "maybe we just need to be careful going into the seas around our coast at certain times of year.â€
No Scottish surfer wants to be told to stay out of the sea in the autumn – it's when the waves tend to be at their best and when the water is at its warmest – so I got on the blower to Richard Peirce, chairman of conservation charity The Shark Trust looking for reassurance.
"I spoke to several people involved in the Spey Bay incident,†he told me. "It almost certainly wasn't an attack, but to me it was a very, very interesting incident. The shark was probably a porbeagle, but this was very un-porbeagle-like behaviour because they're not normally investigatory animals – they normally avoid human contact. I should know: I've spent 20 years trying to film and photograph them and I know how bloody difficult it is because they always run away.â€
What are the chances of a porbeagle attack off the east coast of Scotland? "Negligible to zero,†according to Peirce. Are there any other species of shark in the North Sea that could potentially do damage to a human? "Theoretically blue sharks may be there,†he reckons. "They are not common and will be just about to buzz off if they are there, because they generally head south when the water goes below about 13 or 14 degrees. Makos are not unknown but they're incredibly rare these days because we've killed most of them. Most of these species are depleted to an amazing extent – we just kill too many and stick their fins in bowls of soup. So really the answer is no. These animals just don't target humans – if they did we'd have shark attacks in Britain, with the amount of surfers out there now.â€
In his book, Shark Attack Britain, Peirce scours the archives for examples of attacks in UK waters but fails to find anything that resembles a proper Jaws-style mauling. That said, there have been accidental deaths caused by sharks – one in which a couple of Royal Navy officers tried to blow up a basking shark with plastic explosives but ended up killing themselves and the shark; one in which a boat was overturned by a basking shark and two of the passengers drowned.
In the latter case, the shark was said to have charged the boat, but Peirce thinks it was probably just breaching and the boat happened to get in the way.
"That's the closest thing to a shark attack we've had in British waters as far as I can tell,†he says. "If I were a surfer I would not be worried.â€
So there you have it: surfing in the North Sea may be cold and unglamorous, but at least we don't have to worry about "the men in grey suits†as Australian surfers sometimes refer to their shark population. That said, surfers in the Hebrides might want to consider the following analysis from Peirce:
"I am of the opinion that we get the occasional great white shark as a vagrant visitor on the west coast,†he told me. "I've looked at about 100 incidents of claimed great white shark encounters over the last 20-odd years, of which eight remain credible post-investigation, and they're all on the west in two clusters: one is off North Cornwall, the other is around the Western Isles.â€

TORONTO – The telltale signs that spring is in the air have begun to emerge.
The temperature has pushed above freezing, the banks of darkened snow have started their slow process of receding, and, most pertinent to this discussion, Toronto FC has their home opener.
The New England Revolution come to town on Sunday for the first home match of the 2019 MLS regular season.
In honour of the occasion, continuing the theme, TFC were able to exit the bubble at the BMO Training Ground on Friday, taking their first outdoor session of the season.
"It was good, really good. Everybody was excited," smiled Jozy Altidore after training. "It sucks to be in that bubble. It's better on the body to get outside. Football is supposed to be played outside."
In the weeks since Toronto opened their season with a 3-1 win in Philadelphia against the Union, Greg Vanney and his staff have focused on the group taking the steps forward they need to prepare for a long, gruelling season.
Familiar shoots have been in evidence.
"Whether you're in the starting XI or not, the guys are playing for each other; they enjoy each other. It's been a great vibe. The foundation for something that can be special," said Vanney of the mood in the group. "Now you continue to grow as a team, grow tactically, and execute throughout the course of the season how you need to. In our league, where the margins are fine, team chemistry pushes the bar in your favour just a little bit more."
"The mentality has been good," added Vanney, though the side is itching. "The guys want to play games."
And that this one will be at BMO Field only adds to the anticipation.
"We're excited to get back at home," said Justin Morrow. "It's been a while now with the bye week and the away game. We can't wait."
To add to the anticipation, there is a possibility that Altidore, who has yet to feature this season, could see some action.
"100% no, it's going to take time. Match fitness I'm behind," admitted Altidore of his recovery process from offseason surgery. "But in terms of being eligible, I feel really good. I'm excited, I want to get on the field and score at BMO."
"This is what I live for," continued the striker, who was re-signed to a long-term contract at the end of February. "A big reason to stay was I love playing for these fans. Hopefully I can start or come off the bench and have an effect on the game."
Standing in their way are the Revolution, though TFC enter the match primarily focused on themselves.
"We go in with a mindset on who we are and who we want to be. That's the first thing," stressed Vanney. "The second is the opposition, their strengths and weaknesses."
"We're committed to our model, how we want to play, but willing to be pragmatic at times... to the extent that we need to be," continued Vanney. "They're a team that wants to press high. Our expectation is they'll try to be aggressive. We have to be aware, but take advantage of it. Ultimately we have a goal to be a good defending team this year; that's where we'll start from."
Entering their second season under former US international goalkeeper Brad Friedel, New England are not unfamiliar.
"They're not totally different from the past, under Brad, a few different faces" said Vanney. "In terms of how they want to approach the game, how aggressive they're trying to be to create the situations that they're looking for."
Their attacking threats: Juan Agudelo, Teal Bunbury, Cristian Penilla, and Diego Fagundez are all familiar, known quantities in MLS.
"They're a unique and difficult team to play against: athletic, big, and strong," added Vanney. "They put a lot of pressure on you."
"We have to be smart, calculated about the passes we make. Anytime there is a pressing team there are certain passes that they're looking for to initiate and start pressing," continued Vanney. "We have to choose the right moments to get behind them and back them up. And take advantage of the opportunities we get."
New England are winless through two matches having lost 2-0 to Columbus Crew SC on the weekend after opening their campaign with a 1-1 draw away to FC Dallas.
In the head-to-head series between the clubs, the home side has won the last six matches, three apiece, most recently a 4-1 TFC win last September.
Though familiar, Friedel did make a few key additions in the offseason, one being Spanish attacking midfielder, Carles Gil, who arrived from Deportivo La Coruna.
"A lefty, crafty with his left-foot, he will float around field and try to find the ball," detailed Vanney. "He tends to drift to their right side, so he can put the ball on his left-foot and move towards the middle."
"A crafty passer, good at understanding how to manipulate numbers: if you give him too much space, he can put things on goal. He's the type of playmaker they want to get on the ball as much as possible," warned Vanney. "With the runners they have around him, you've got to make sure he's not the one picking the passes. You get Bunbury, Penilla, Agudelo running – they're depth runners – with a guy like him on the ball they can expose you."
Edgar Castillo arrived from the Colorado Rapids to bolster a back-line led by English defender Michael Mancienne, who holds down the middle of the back-four with one of Antonio Delamea or Jalil Anibaba. Scott Caldwell and Wilfred Zahibo sit in front as a shield and to facilitate the attacks from deep.
For Altidore, who TFC play this weekend doesn't matter.
"This early in the season it's about setting the right message," said Altidore. "We know these teams. New England hasn't changed much. They're a team that has some talented players that can hurt you if you're not careful: Agudelo is a good striker, can be dangerous; Bunbury as well."
"It's our home opener, we've had a lot of things happen," continued Altidore. "It's a good message – to the fans, to ourselves – that [BMO Field] is going to be a fortress again. That's has to be the idea."
