how to remove MonoKote from a new ARF (TowerHobbies $10 off $49.99 coupon inside)
hello everyone, I am new to this forum, and found tons of helpful info from here.
I just got a Tower Hobbies Voyager 40 ARF, I like the plane, but the color looks really odd. I think the bottom layer of MonoKote on the plane is white, and there are red and bule layers on the top of the white. please advice how to remove the red and bule layer without damage the bottom (white) Layer. Thanks By the way, Just found a coupon for Towerhobbies.com takes $10 off when purchase over $49.99. use coupon code: 011yk. enjoy it. |

Of course experience is far better than assuming so trying it is the only possible solution. Since I also have not used monokote, I can also make assumptions by reasoning. I feel (I think) that the temperature of the white layer (underneath) would be about the same as the colored layers on top. I also feel that the adherance of the colored layer to the white layer would be greater than the adherance of the white layer to the wood or foam. This reasoning is based on the thought that for a given area a higher percentage of ahesive contact would exist between the two layers than the white layer has to its contact base (wood or foam). Which layer will give up first will be revealed by trial (excperimentation) somewhere not too much in evidence like under the stabilizer or under a wing or fuselage near the rear of the fuselage. I would think some differences can be expected in areas where the white lyaer is unsupported (open areas of the structure). It would be interesting to see postings from someone who may already have tried to do just what you want to do. I certainly will be one following this thread. Good luck and let us know the results of your trials. Zor |
I use momokote all the time. Try using your heat gun but control the amount of heat by applying heat then remove the gun. You don't want to cet the covering to hot. When you get the top layer started keep applying and removing the heat to the adhesive side of the top layer as you gently pull it in the opposite direction. The heat application is really important. You want just enough heat to activate the adhesive on the top layer without getting the bottom layer to hot. Good luck and be patient. You will probably have adhesive remaining on the surface of the bottom layer. To remove it experiment with CA debonder. Do not get the debonder on any painted surface.
It nearly sound like you have done it and have the experience. What did you use as a source of heat? That would give our friend some valuable idea what to use to apply the heat mainly to the top layer and minimize the heat to the white bottom layer. You are referring to a "gun" (a heat gun). I am trying unsuccessfully to visualize how a gun can direct the hot air to the layer to peel off while not equally heating the bottom white layer. Did you experiment with CA debonder? Did it work to remove any remaining adhesive on the white layer? Hoping to read your response. Regards de Zor |
--- Slide your fingers of the plane and you should be able to feel the layers on top. --- If no layers, then the covering is prepainted. 2 - before you start heating and peeling, which by the way is not an easy thing to do, --- pose the question: *What do I not like about the colouring scheme*. --- Maybe adding more colour would help ? Easier to add, than to peel off. 3 - Why not fly her first *as is*? Then if you did not crash her, peel it all off and do your scheme. LBNL, This is your first plane, I assume ? Better get together with an experienced pilot to help you. This is not an easy plane to learn on, although she is not half bad. If not your first, have fun. |

When you write "I think the bottom layer of MonoKote on the plane is white, and there are red and bule layers on the top of the white. " Is it not "evident" just by looking at the airplane? It is the words "I think" that bothers me. Sonce "you just got it" you must have looked at it Zor |
Pady, when I first read the subject title, I thought there was a $10 off coupon under the covering [on the inside]?
What a novel approach for ARF manufacturers, if you crash, you reveal under the covering a $10 off coupon for the purchase of another ARF!! Now that would be some interesting marketing strategy............. |
On the tail, I think white base, then red and blue trim. The fuse, they may have just partly covered with white and trimmed the rest. easy enough to do. Just to satisfy my curiosity, what kind of covering scheme would you like to have ? |
If you think the plane looks odd now wait until you have flown it for a while and have had to put it back together a few times. Besides after you get it up in the air no one will know what color it is. Fly it and enjoy it until you have some experience the buy a plane that doesn't look odd. While taking off the top layer of monokote can be done, it has it's risks and is not worth the effort especially if the plane is airworthy as it is. |
In response to Zor.
I really do have the experience and if you look at the original response I did say to use a heat gun. CA debonder will remove the adhesive and pigment that may be left when the top layer of monokote is removed. Removing monokote is very simple if you have the experience and know how to keep things as cool as possible I personally think it is a waste of time to do this to a perfectly good airplane. I have been building and covering planes for over 65 years and am often asked to build and cover planes for other people. I could have all the work I could ever want but also enjoy flying. Covering is something I am good at and enjoy. Good luck and happy landings. |
I've got the same plane. The covering doesn't stick very well to begin with. I don't care for the covering either, and plan to fly it this way just finishing up assembly. Typical Tower order has wrinkles all over it. So I was touching up the wrinkles with a heat gun set on medium and it would shrink much faster than Monokote. So I think it's is just a low temp covering that will easily come off by the steps outlined above. Adding more heat than you would for it's application, will shrink it and lift it, which almost happened to me doing the touch ups. Have fun. Personally, I'd dump all the wing covering and go with UltraCoat, but who knows how this thing flies and if all that work is worth it?
Welcome to the "old time club" You said "try to use a heat gun". To me it did not mean that is what you yourself were using. You also said to heat the glue side of the peeling layer. I can hardly see how you can direct the heat that accurately with a heat gun so I suspected you were using some other device. I am curious, in the old times, 65 years ago you must have used tissue paper or cloth fabric and aircraft dope. I would like to invite you to talk to us about your "Good Old Times". You must have some very fascinating experience from the old days. Come and join the gang in this thread _ _ _ https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=721700 and tell us about your adventure in the 1940s, 50s and thereafter. Sure would like to see you there. You will see pictures of the old radios, home made stuff and experimental contortions now in museums. C U there, With my best regards, Zor |

"Mystic River," "Gone Baby Gone" and "Shutter Island." As far as book-to-film adaptations go, Dennis Lehane is batting a perfect 3-for-3, and with Warner Bros. behind two of those pictures, they are looking to score another success by enlisting Leonardo DiCaprio.
The studio has snapped up the rights to Lehane's "Live By Night" which is being developed as a vehicle for "Shutter Island" star DiCaprio. And….that's about it. The book doesn't hit shelves or Kindles (or whatever) until this fall, so a synopsis or logline is unavailable, but it's probably safe to say it will be dark and gritty and, if done right, worthy of awards attention when that time rolls around. And as usual, it's one of many, many, many projects that DiCaprio is eyeballing at any moment — currently among them is "Satori" the thriller based on the book by Don Winslow (which the author recently told us is still at script stage, as he's working on it with Shane Salerno). The rest of the actor's year is booked up finishing "Django Unchained," shooting "The Wolf Of Wall Street" with Martin Scorsese and then doing some heavy promo for both 'Django' and "The Great Gatsby" this fall.
But either way, Leo has his pick of projects so no matter what's around the corner, we're looking forward to it.

Fayette EMS crew sees first-hand the effects of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey
It's been over a month since Hurricane Sandy came on shore in New Jersey and residents there are still cleaning up.
Members of the Pennsylvania Strike Team were deployed to the disaster area on Oct. 30.
It wasn't an easy assignment.
The Pennsylvania Strike Team is comprised of ambulance services in Pennsylvania. Fayette EMS participated in the strike team assignments.
This time, Steve Rugg, regional supervisor 4 with Fayette EMS, was called to duty along with a crew of five.
"We only took 35 ambulances with us when we were first there," Rugg said. But before it was all over, the strike team had approximately 100 ambulances and 50 support vehicles from Pennsylvania. Twenty more ambulances from Maryland and two from Vermont were called in as well.
Rugg left for New Jersey with mechanic, Mike Woodley, who was the only mechanic for 150 emergency vehicles; two paramedics, Loretta Timms and Joe Podlogar, and two EMTs, Adam Russell and Austin Shawley.
While in New Jersey, Rugg served as the deputy operations chief with the command staff. His duties included designating where the ambulances with the strike team would respond — and he found no lack of calls.
"We ran a lot of 911 calls," Rugg said. From a Tuesday to a Friday in Hoboken, they responded to 480 ambulance calls with only 10 ambulances under them.
Rugg said the majority of the calls were for checking on the welfare of residents, medical emergencies and moving people who may be handicapped to shelters.
"We ran 24 hours a day and around the clock in 12-hour shifts," Rugg said.
He said some of the struggles the strike team faced included getting around hurricane destruction like flood water, driving around the fuel lines to fill up prior to the National Guard's arrival to supply them fuel and going on calls that should take 15 minutes, but lasting 45 minutes because of places like Jersey City and Hoboken being without power.
"There was no electricity, no elevator and we had to get people up and down 20 flights of stairs," Rugg said. "It was very trying for our crew."
From their arrival on Oct. 30 to their departure on Nov. 11, Rugg said he was not only impressed with how the strike team responded to the massive volume of calls, but also the response from the people affected by the hurricane and going through what was very well the worst times of their lives.
"We couldn't believe to see the good coming out of the people in such a destructive area," Rugg said. "For people whose lives were changed that much, with that much desolation, they were very appreciative."
Rugg recalls strike team crews eating military MRE (meals ready to eat) packages for the first few days they were in action, but then people in the community starting bringing food in through the Red Cross. The local police departments would escort ambulances onto calls whenever they could.
Many residents were surprised to see an ambulance from out of state responding to New Jersey.
One of those residents was Seth Lubin of Jersey City who was walking along the street on the evening of Nov. 7 after a snowstorm came through the area.
"I was heading to a restaurant to get some dinner," Lubin said, adding that because of the slippery conditions on the ground, he walked with his attention focused on the ground below his feet. "I looked up and a guy across the street was laying there."
Lubin said he and a crew surrounded the fallen man while someone dialed 911. He said the man was not unconscious, but at the same time was not responding.
He said the ambulance arrived. It was a crew from Fayette County.
"After I explained to them what the man's condition was, I looked at the license plate and asked the crew where Fayette County was, and they explained it to me," Lubin said.
Not only did Lubin see help from Western Pennsylvania, he said a grassroots volunteer effort in Jersey City was established to help people and it included utility crews from Illinois and Colorado.
"I just wanted people to know their efforts did not go unrecognized, and we are grateful," Lubin said. "It's really a beautiful thing to see people respond from other parts of the country responded the way they did."
Lubin was so touched by what he saw with the ambulance service, he wrote a letter to the editor to express his feelings.
"I wish to convey my gratitude to the Fayette EMS and the community who supports them," he wrote. "What does matter is Americans know that when a neighbor is in need they must lend a helping hand because that is what good neighbors do for each other. It is a noble expression of the American experience that will unite us all."
Rugg said the letter from Lubin was totally unexpected. But the crew appreciated the support received from the people of New Jersey.
"Everybody was tired, but happy to go to help and entire state," Rugg said. "But they would do it again in a heartbeat."

Arsenal had been hopeful that the England star would be back in time to face the Premier League straggler but his comeback from an ankle injury has been delayed.
The 21-year-old pulled out of the England squad ahead of the World Cup qualifying double-header against San Marino and Montenegro after suffering from a recurrence of the ankle injury that kept him sidelined for 16 months last season.
Despite strongly denying reports concerning the playmaker's fitness over recent weeks, Wenger has admitted that he could be sidelined for some time.
"Honestly, is very difficult to say [when he will be back] - maybe in two weeks," he told reporters. "It is an inflammation of his bone, and we have such history with him so we are a bit more cautious. We have deferred his rehab by one week. We gave him one more week rest because it was wise medically to do it. We will rest him when it is needed. He knows he has to take care of his future. He is a very young player, he accepts it.
"He doesn't need any special treatment. You just have to be cautious with the inflammations of his ankle at times. He has been out for 17 months, so he wants to play. I understand that. If he is selected [to play for England this summer], he will go. It depends what kind of shape he will be in. If he has no problems, why not?"
The Frenchman also explained that Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs and Abou Diaby are likely to join the midfielder in missing out on Saturday's clash with Reading.
"Wilshere will still be out. [Theo] Walcott is injured, [Abou] Diaby has a problem we will have to check and [Kieran] Gibbs has been ill," he said.
"We have a good relationship [with England]. Walcott's injury was an accident."
Wojciech Szczesny was recently forced to apologize for his father's public criticisms of Wenger, but the 63-year-old dismissed suggestions that the goalkeeper would be moved on as a result.
"He's nearly played 100 games for this club," the manager said of the shot stopper. "That is fantastic. He has a very good future and has accumulated a lot of experience."

Duty Metropolitan Magistrate Preety Parewa sent Arun Singh, the son-in-law of Joint Commissioner (Security) D P Verma to police custody after he was arrested late Monday night.
The court granted police custody of Singh as sought by police to recover jewelry of the woman from her husband's home.
Singh, meanwhile, moved bail application before the court which would come up for hearing Tuesday.
Filing the FIR at Hauz Khas police station, Singh's wife Nimisha alleged that she was harassed by her husband and in-laws for dowry.
She said that they got married in June 2012, and it was love marriage. At the time of marriage there was no demand of dowry but they later started demanding dowry from her, she said.
Singh, who works with a MNC in Gurgaon, however, alleged that Nimisha wanted to become a film actress to which he did not agree and thus she filed a false case against him.
He further alleged that his wife went through a breast implant, without informing him.

Tourist time!
Trip Start
Jun 28, 2010
Trip End
Where I stayed
Umaid Bawhan Hotel
Our rickshaw driver from the station to the hotel was trying his hardest to get us to on a tour with him around the city the next day. We usually just do everything at our own pace but when Ali produced a 'tourists comments' book we were convinced! Everyone said how great the tour was and how worthwhile it was to do it! This book made an impression on us so we gave in and asked him to pick us up the next morning. After all, it's not everyday you read such positive things about a rickshaw driver, ha! We later found out when we got a lift with a different driver that actually you do see this kind of thing everyday in Jaipur – having a comments book is something of a trend here!
Anyway, the tour still sounded like a good idea! The next morning our chariot was awaiting and off we sped round the capital of Rajasthan. Ali, was indeed a fantastic host and took us to all the sights including the city palace, marble tombs, viewpoints and into the walled city, which is where Jaipur gets it's nickname from. Years ago, the Queen of Rajasthan wanted her city to be her favourite colour so the concrete work is a dull mauve type shade. Our chauffer (ha!) also drove us to a handicraft haveli which was filled with things from glorious bespoke furniture to pretty jewellery boxes. We also went to a textile outlet where I almost went bankrupt and bought lots of pretty items. We also got shown how some of the textiles were made and saw a man making a carpet that was going to take him six weeks to complete.
Our day ended at Amber Fort just as the sun was about to go down. To me, Amber Fort is the most impressive of the forts we have seen and because it was up a hill it had good views of the surrounding area. Our time in Jaipur was also filled with scrumptious food at the rooftop restaurant of the hotel, cocktails at fancier hotels and rickshaw driving – don't ask!
We really liked Jaipur as a city because even though it had its fair share of craziness it had plenty to see and do and well, the shopping was a dream!!!

It took Chrysler Group LLC less than 36 hours to collect enough online applications for the 1,105 new jobs it plans to bring to the Toledo Assembly Complex next year.
The automaker opened its online application process at 5 a.m. Tuesday and closed the window by midday Wednesday.
A company spokesman said the number of applicants won't be disclosed. Union officials previously said they expected Chrysler would gather 8,000 to 10,000 applicants for the 1,105 jobs.
Chrysler officials expected heavy interest and warned the window to apply wasn't likely to remain open long.
RELATED ARTICLE: Last Jeep Liberty ready to roll off the line
That isn't exactly unprecedented. After an early glitch to a listing for hourly employees in Detroit, it only took four hours for Chrysler to meet its applicant quota earlier this year. Also earlier this year, Hyundai made news when it said it quickly collected 22,000 applications for about 900 jobs at a plant in Alabama.
Chrysler officials say it will take them some time to sort through the applications and move to the next step in their hiring process. Hourly hires eventually will be represented by the United Auto Workers, but Chrysler spokesman Jodi Tinson said the hiring decisions are made by the automaker.
"When these folks are hired, they're hired as Chrysler employees," she said. "Therefore, it is a Chrysler decision on who is hired."
The new jobs are being created as part of a $500 million investment to expand and modernize part of the Toledo Assembly Complex that builds the Jeep Liberty. Most of the new hires will work on a second shift expected to begin in the third quarter of 2013. They will be building a new vehicle, details of which have not been announced.

Chances are, your members think so. At least according to a recent report.
A national survey, released Monday, showed 67 percent of Americans – over half of whom attend church at least once a month – agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, "My church already does enough to help the poor in my community." Less than half (42 percent) said their church spends more money on itself than on the community.
Despite most Americans thinking they're doing enough, poverty is on the rise. I can't help but think with rising fuel and food costs, the number has risen even further this year.
Jesus clearly had a heart for the poor and hurting. Are His churches doing enough to help the impoverished around them?
If not, why not? Are Christians ignorant of the problem, simply disconnected from the issue or is it something else?

Cayuga Fund First Year Sector Analyst Program A unique opportunity for students interested in pursuing investment management careers is the Cayuga Fund first year sector analyst program - an opportunity to be involved in the management of the Cayuga MBA Fund in the first year of their MBA program for course credit. Approximately 6-7 first year students are selected through a competitive process for this opportunity. The selection process is modeled after Fidelity Investments' p-test, or prospectus test, in which applicants are given limited information on the stock of a company, including 10-Q and 10-K filings, sellside analyst reports, conference call transcripts and two hours to come up with an investment recommendation, which they will need to pitch to interviewers. Successful students are paired with a second year Cayuga Fund analyst and can begin covering a sector and pitching stocks into the fund as assistant portfolio managers. They are also given the unique opportunity to be featured in the Cayuga Fund annual report and can indicate their position on their resumes. First Year Sector Analysts are not guaranteed a position in the Cayuga Fund during their second year and will need to re-apply to be student portfolio managers in the fund in the spring semester with the rest of the applicant pool.
Parker Center Software Training Series (STS) Knowing how to use best-in-class software tools can provide a competitive advantage to students in the investment management job search process. Johnson students have a unique advantage in that they have access to a range of analytical tools, including FactSet, Capital IQ, Bloomberg, Morningstar, Zacks Investment Research, Advantage Data and other tools, that rival the best of what investment professionals use, in the state-of-the-art Parker Center trading room. Students are encouraged to sign up for training on the use of these tools. Training sessions will be held every Friday for the first seven weeks of the fall semester and is open to all Johnson students and faculty. For more information, contact Cathy Wetterer, Administrative Assistant, Parker Center for Investment Research at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Fall Treks and the Investment Management Club (IMC) Every fall, the CMC coordinates an informational trek to Boston to visit with several investment management firms and hear from investment professionals, including successful Johnson alumni. These sessions offer an invaluable peek into each firm's distinct culture, what it takes to succeed in the investment management business, and allows students to ask questions in an organized forum. To learn more, please contact Dave Capaldi, Associate Director, Career Management Center at firstname.lastname@example.com. In addition, the student-run Investment Management Club (IMC) also organizes other trips to NYC. Joining the IMC is a must for students interested in pursuing investment research careers on the buyside or sellside, sales, trading, or private wealth management.
MBA Stock Pitch Competition (SPC) and Women In Investing (WIN) Conference The Parker Center for Investment Research hosts two flagship events in November of every year, the MBA SPC and the WIN conference. Both featuring representatives from top-tier investment management programs and peers from top MBA programs, the events allow students to showcase their stock-picking skills and network with peers and industry professionals alike. The opportunity to represent Cornell's teams for both these events is determined through a competitive selection process and interested students are encouraged to participate in student tryouts held for this purpose. For the WIN conference, women may attend without having to participate in the stock-pitching portion of the conference. Resume books will be distributed to sponsors at both these events. In addition, students have the opportunity to try out to represent Cornell in other stock-pitching venues that provide recruiting opportunities. For more information on the SPC, WIN, or other competition opportunities, please contact Lakshmi Bhojraj, Breazzano Family Executive Director of the Parker Center for Investment Research at email@example.com.
Capital Markets and Asset Management (CMAM) Immersion Students seeking careers in investment research, sales, trading, or private wealth are encouraged to sign up for the CMAM immersion in the second semester of their first year in the MBA program. CMAM students will have the opportunity to research and pitch stocks into the Cayuga Fund under faculty supervision and in consultation with second year Cayuga Fund students, thereby acquiring a unique opportunity to obtain necessary skills before the start of their summer internship. For more information on the CMAM immersion, please contact Rob Symington, email@example.com.
Students wishing to pursue investment management careers will typically enroll in the capstone asset management course, Applied Portfolio Management, informally known as the Cayuga Fund course, in the second year of their MBA program. This is the course in which students have an opportunity to serve as portfolio managers, managing real money, in the $1 million Cayuga MBA Fund. Students are selected for this course through a competitive process at the end of their first year in the program. Criteria for admission to the fund are grades in core accounting, finance, and other finance courses, demonstrated passion for the investment management business, and overall fit. Students who wish to enroll for Applied Portfolio Management cannot pursue study abroad or other Johnson programs requiring a significant time commitment such as Big Red Ventures. For more information on the Cayuga Fund, please click The Cayuga Fund on the left nav.

Another gorgeous pattern!
I love the pretty colors, they match so nicely together! The quilting looks awesome!
I love your quilts. I'm very new to quilting and just as I was getting excited about finishing my first quilt my machine started making a really loud noise. I oiled it in all of the places my manual suggests but the noise won't go away. (I made a 1 minute video of it so people could hear what noise it is making). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDlY9R7ABXk Any advice as to what could be wrong so that I can get back on my way and finish my quilt?

The Radial ToneBone Dragster gives you back the full, rich tone you loose when you plug in to a wireless transmitter or mixer. Restore the full rich tone you lose when you plug your guitar into a wireless transmitter or other types of buffered inputs like those of effects, mixers, sound cards or recorders. Dragster's exclusive Drag™ control makes passive pickups think (and sound like) they're connected directly to a amplifier input by allowing you to precisely dial in the correct amount of impedance loading. Result? Your guitar tone regains it's warmth – it feels right again and your performance sounds great!
Radial ToneBone Dragster Features
Dragster Development Without a direct guitar-to-amp connection, the minimal impedance load on the pickups results in a sound that can be described as brittle, squeaky, thin, lacking in punch and devoid of character. Radial's Drag control was developed as the perfect solution to correct this by re-establishing proper impendence loading of pickups when they are connected to any device that buffers the guitar output.
Drag was first introduced on the JD7, Radial's award winning 1-in, 7-out signal routing system for creative tracking and re-amplifying. The Radial JD7 is now used in studios around the world; tracking with the JD7 is considered an essential creative recording tool. In fact, some of the world's most renowned recording artists, producers and engineers will not record without it!
Drag control is also a key feature in Radial Engineering's flagship direct box, the renowned JDV mk3 (possibly the world's finest DI). and in the Tonebone Switchbone (possibly the world's best AB-Y box!).
Using the Dragster Insert the Dragster between guitar and wireless transmitter/buffered input. Adjust the less - more dial to establish a pickup loading that suits your guitar/amp combination – it should adjusted to sound the same as if you plugged directly into your amp. Start with the contol at around the middle of its range and listen... Each pickup reacts differently to the amount of Drag dialed in. A typical Strat™ single coil plugged into a Fender® Twin™ sounds right with the control backed off (less) slightly from the middle.
The Dragster's light weight aluminum shell features a slotted back panel that can easily be secured onto a guitar strap or pedalboard using velcro strips or tie wraps. Needle and thread can be used, if a more permanent attachment be desired.

Last year, I wrote that the digital agency was dead. I was mostly talking about how platform technology was going to knock a lot of digital media agencies out of business. In a world where over five trillion banner impressions are available every month, I argued it was simply too much for humans to navigate through the choices and wring branding effect and performance out of campaigns.
Well, digital media agencies are still around—but they continue to lose share to platforms as the amount of programmatically bought media increases. With RTB-based spending estimated to rise at an annualized rate of nearly 60% a year, according to market intelligence firm IDC, we could see as much as $14 billion in spending by 2016, or 27% of total display spending. Looks like the machines are slowly taking over.
Fairfax Cone, the founder of Foote, Cone, and Belding once famously remarked that the problem with the agency business was that "the inventory goes down the elevator at night." That's a big problem for an industry that relies on 23 year-old media planners to work long hours grinding on Excel spreadsheets and managing vendors to produce fairly mediocre media plans.
Has platform technology and the ascendancy of first party data made digital media agencies even more irrelevant?
Cone was talking about IP—what, exactly is the digital agency's core intellectual property when the majority of the work seems to be hard labor? Digital creative agencies have no such worry. In this world of ubiquity, where everyone has access to wonderful SaaS-model technology that enables real-time bidding and access to trillions of exchange-based advertising impressions, the one place an agency can make an impact is on the creative side.
Agencies that can create the miracle of getting more than 1 in 10,000 people to click on an ad, or watch a :30 pre roll video to completion are considered geniuses. But, what about the media shops? Can they really buy more efficiently than machines? More importantly, can they leverage the right machines to once again own the middle position between the advertiser and his prospect?
As I write in my recent report, looking at the history of display advertising, the future doesn't favor the agency. In the beginning, agencies' favored relationships with publishers made them a great way to buy media. Publishers aligned their content with the audiences that advertisers wanted (ESPN for sports enthusiasts), and largely controlled their inventory and audience data.
Soon enough, the Network Era told hold, and smart companies like Tacoda started segmenting audiences based on context and behavior. By using technology to understand audiences better than the publishers themselves, they put yet another layer of IP between agencies and audiences. Then the DSP Era started, which further decoupled audiences from media. Agencies scrambled to create new vendor relationships with the MediaMaths of the world—but grew nervous that they would be disintermediated, and formed their own trading desks. This era is now evolving in the DMP Era.
After all of promises of easy audience targeting and automation, advertisers are looking at the same disturbingly low click-through rates, near impossibility of true attribution measurement, and spending waste—and determining that their own data is more valuable than most data that they can buy. Their desire to activate their "first party" data has given rise to the "DMP era." Andy Monfried, who has brought his company Lotame through this transition, sees it this way:
Agencies are attempting to become technology providers for their clients, and from our perception, clients are hesitant to adopt. The larger agency holding companies have made an attempt at understanding first-party data but have come to be just a solution for clients to leverage third-party data. This is due to the lack of agency technology and lack of trust that clients put in agencies accessing their first-party data in a raw state.
So, what happens now?
Are advertisers simply going to license DMP technology, and build small practice groups for audience segmentation, targeting, and analytics? Or, are agencies going to adopt and learn how to become the centralization point for evaluating and helping clients implement new advertising technology? Media Kitchen digital head Darren Herman thinks the way through the trees is through education:
We are super bullish about teaching our strategists to learn the skills of data scientists. While the average media strategists will probably not have the skills of a robust data scientist with a PhD, from Stanford, an entire organization that learns to embrace data and make it useful will be more powerful than a few data scientists sprinkled [through] many.
Knowledge of how to action data must both come from the top down and bottom up and be embraced by all. Building a culture that does this is hard as many people resist, but retooling and finding people who want this type of career is what we're doing.
Is your agency ready to hire a data scientist? Looks like the days of agencies hiring armies of English majors is over, and the next MIT recruiting session you see may have a few agency folks in attendance. Are digital media agencies dead? The data says not yet.
Comments (2)
Chris I really like this. Understanding how we harness all the customer data that is washing around is a really interesting topic, and even more so understanding the role that agencies will play in this process.
Our current experience/analysis suggests the following (even though this is a more "general marketing" rather than "ad selling/serving" view):
The marketing technology is certainly available to understand and profile your online audience (and if you want to go the whole hog, also integrate offline too)...
...and the same technology is able to automatically deliver appropriate "content" via the web, email, phone automatically and in real-time...
...and increasingly these tools are really very easy to use, and with SaaS, very affordable too.
But a common stumbling block for marketing teams seem to be deciding who to target and with what.
This to some extent speaks to your point about the continuing value in the creative agency in developing the right "content"... but we also seem to see a strong demand from portions of the customer base for agencies who can also help them imagine and implement the campaign (using the available tools/services).
So we see a strong role for agencies who can work with a customer to wield the tech to understand their audience, conceive of campaign ideas and implement them. The good news is that the technology means that this should be achievable within the budgetary grasp of 90% of the online businesses.

When I was a child, eating cake was saved for special occasions. It always signified a celebration or the marking of an important event. At that time, during the 1960's, the baking of cakes was mainly done at home and required a considerable amount of time and effort to produce.
My grandmother Louisa made these sweet little cakes at Easter time and baked them in beautiful individual pottery cups. She was suspicious of all modern gadgetry and preferred to beat the eggs and combine all the ingredients by hand. She scoffed at any modern appliance that "makes you lazy".
Well here is the lazy version (sorry nonna) of these small and delightful cakes. They have an intense orange flavor and make a wonderful winter treat.
The glace oranges are an added extra. The cakes are just as delicious with the simple brandy glaze.
Glace Oranges Ingredients
2 medium or 4 small oranges
1 cup caster sugar
2 cups cold water
Orange and Almond Cakes Ingredients
130g almond meal
2/3 cup self-raising flour
2 eggs
2/3 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons finely grated orange rind
100g soft butter, chopped
2 tablespoons flaked almonds
1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 teaspoons brandy
Method Glace Oranges
(Skip this section if you just want to make the simple glaze at the end)
This is a quick and easy way to make glace oranges. I have taken the recipe directly from Belinda Jeffery's wonderful book called "Desserts".
Pour the sugar and 2 cups of cold water into a large, wide saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring, increase the heat and bring the mixture to the boil. Immediately reduce the heat to very low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Gently place the orange slices into the pan and adjust the heat so the syrup barley bubbles around the edges. Cook the slices for 1 hour, then very carefully turn them over and continue cooking for another 40 minutes or until they look translucent. Keep a close eye on the pan for the last 20 minutes or so, as the syrup becomes quite thick and can scorch easily.
Place a sheet of baking paper on a wire rack. When the orange slices are ready, remove the pan from the heat and very carefully transfer the slices to the baking paper, making sure they don't overlap or they will stick together. Leave them to cool completely. The syrup will form an almost jelly like glaze on the orange slices.
Once cooled you can cut each slice in half and place on top of your cakes. There will be a few left over so store them in the fridge in an air tight container and use them for any other sweets you are making. They will keep for about 2 weeks.
Method Orange and Almond Cakes
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C.
Line 18 (80ml) muffin pans with paper cases
Place the almond meal and the flour into a bowl and stir gently to combine. Now place the eggs, caster sugar, orange juice and rind into another bowl and gently mix until combined. You can of course use a food processor if you have one.
Next add the softened butter and mix until well combined. The mixture will look slightly curdled at this stage. Pour all the ingredients together and mix until just combined. It is important not to over beat the mixture or your cakes will be a little hard.
Using a small spoon divide the mixture evenly between all the patty cases and sprinkle the flaked almonds over the top of each one.
Bake the cakes for 10 to 12 minutes and then increase the heat to 220 degrees C for a further 2 minutes or until the top of the cakes are a light golden brown and are cooked through. You can test this by using a fine skewer inserted into the cake. If it comes out clean, it's done.
Remove the cakes from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
Method Glaze
While the cakes are cooling you can make the glaze
Combine the marmalade and brandy in a small saucepan and cook over low heat just until the mixture becomes spreadable.
Brush each cake with the warm glaze and allow to cool.

The expected fluctuations have happened as the viewership numbers dipped to 6.40 million this week, TV by the numbers reports. Still comfortably in the mid-6 million range, though, and still comfortably winning the night among cable shows, far ahead of the competition. The repeat airing added another 1.10 million, for a total of 7.50 million for the night.
This dip is comparable to the one that happened last year with episode 307. Hopefully the numbers start climbing again already next week; the impressive second half of this week's episode should help, and there is quite some action promised in the following weeks as well. When more viewers flock to the screens as traditional for the finales of shows (and episodes 9 in case of GoT) we could see new record highs reached once more.

At the Alliance Francaise, Culture knows no barriers: Culture is for all and welcomes all!
I have been teaching language and literature classes at the Alliance for almost three years now, and I am very much enjoying it. I think what I love most is the fact that I get to meet so many interesting people, and this is very enriching. Every class is different, I am learning something new every day. My favorite class so far has been a literature class during which we read short stories that I had discovered when I was in high school. I also enjoy the 101 classes because they are more challenging, and it is always a pleasure to see students progress from the very beginning.
I have been teaching at the Alliance Francaise since 2015. I enjoy teaching at the Alliance because I am able to interact with people of various backgrounds from young professionals and students to retired civil service employees. When I tell my beginner students on the first day of class that we teach in French only and English is off-limits, some of them get very nervous! As the session progresses, I can see the tremendous progress they make after just a few short weeks of French class. It is like magic—the students quickly move from not speaking or barely speaking French to using simple expressions. The unique interactive blackboard used at the Alliance is a great tool and makes teaching exciting and enjoyable for both teacher and student.

Hiring a car from Thessaloniki airport
60-second guide to Thessaloniki airport
in its own head
"Everybody and anybody goes to Athens. Only those who want to really see Greece and know its history come to Thessaloniki. "
but more realistically
Yes, the capital of Macedonia really does pack some history, bequeathing to Greece some of its most famous artists, musicians, poets and thinkers. But it's also home to beautiful beaches and fine restaurants.
the vibe
While the pace by day is distinctly chilled and laid back, the student spirit kicks in after dark for some lively Greek action.
the natives
There is a decidedly youthful feel to Thessaloniki, thanks to its larger-than-average university population who always give a warm, Greek welcome.
the weather
With a Mediterranean climate, this little gem offers decent holiday weather nearly all year round. During the hottest months, those in the know head to the cooler mountainous area.
the local speciality
Being a port, there is plentiful fresh fish and seafood to sample. But, if you fancy a meatier dish, try a big souvlaki - Thessaloniki's answer to the doner kebab.
the celebrity
There must be something in the water, as several of the biggest celebs to hail from here, notably Peja Stojakovic of NBA fame, are basketball players.
did you know?
Thessaloniki is the second largest city of Greece and capital of the Madeconian region.
they say
"Everything begins in Thessaloniki, everything wants to be, to become something, and nothing continues the way it started." - Poet and painter Nikos Gavriil Pentzikis.
5 to see in town...
1. White Tower
The striking White Tower, set on the waterfront, is a must-see with a rather murky past. Back in the 19th century, following mass executions within its walls, it went by the far more sombre title 'Tower of Blood'.
where to park?
You can park at either Symis or Doiranis.
2. Museum of Byzantine Culture
Immerse yourself in everything Thessaloniki with this museum, dedicated to the art and ideologies of the Byzantine era and beyond. Featuring both permanent and temporary exhibitions, you'll leave knowing more than the locals.
where to park?
A car park is provided for visitors.
3. Archaeological Museum
Satisfy your thirst for culture with a trip to this little beauty, built in 1962 and designed by the architect Patroklos Karantinos. Make sure you check out excavated treasures in the awe-inspiring 'The Gold of Macedon' exhibit.
where to park?
Street parking is available on Andronikou Street. Alternatively you can park at the Classical Makedonia Palace car park.
4. Yeni Hamam
This magical 17th-century bath house, built on Roman ruins, now occasionally doubles as a concert hall thanks to some truly mind blowing acoustics.
where to park?
You can park at Odos Kassandrou.
5. Palace of Galerius
While there isn't a great deal left of the Emperor Galerius's palace, the low ruins are still impressive to say the least, thanks to a massive central courtyard and beautiful floor mosaics that have stood the test of time.
where to park?
There is no car access to the site. Park in surrounding areas and then use the designated paths to explore.
and 4 to drive to...
1. Petralona Cave
If the trusty wide-brimmed sunhat just isn't cutting the mustard, try cooling down with a trip inside this mesmerising limestone cave instead.
how to get there?
Head southeast on Odos Agiou Dimitriou towards Filimona Dragoumi. Continue on Odos Agiou Dimitriou, following signs for Salonika. The journey should take around ten minutes.
2. Sindos Cemetery
Located 12 miles west of Thessaloniki, this cemetery is well worth the drive. The site of countless, priceless excavations it will send you soaring back in time - in fact the site is believed to date from the 5th century BC.
how to get there?
Head west on the E75/E90 and come off at the exit for Sindos village - it'll only take you about half an hour to get there.
3. Lake Kerkini
If you want to escape from it all, head to the beautiful Lake Kerkini which lies north between two separate mountain ranges. With plenty of wildlife and breathtaking scenery, it is the perfect chill-out choice.
how to get there?
Take the route 12/E79/Thessalonikis-Serron for around 30 miles, following signs for Kerkini, and turn left toward Irakleias-Strymonikou. The journey should take no more than two hours.
4. Aretsou Beach
Of course, no holiday would be complete without a beach to laze on and Aretsou beach, east of Thessaloniki, has it all. Plus, if you've any energy left, there's plenty of water sports to try.
how to get there?
Follow the Leoforos Konstantinou road a mile and a half, and Turn right at Voulgari. Follow signs for Kalamaria. The drive should only take 20 minutes.

This was most appropriate: That when it came time to produce a drive that would win a football game and finally terminate a road losing streak that had become stuff of (negative) lore around the UNLV program, Caleb Herring was the one to lead it.
That when it came time for the roller-coaster of emotion the Rebels had been aboard for nearly 50 minutes, a fifth-year senior whose college career has been more up and down than any ride Magic Mountain offers proved to be the difference.
That when the moment arrived for UNLV not to quit, a kid who nearly did rose to the occasion like few Rebels have in decades.
"I almost gave up on football, almost called it in," Herring said. "But my faith kept me in it, kept me strong, kept me focused, kept me fighting.
"And now, here we are."
Here is this: UNLV beat New Mexico 56-42 at University Stadium on Saturday evening and in the process ended a 23-game road losing streak. In the most important game of coach Bobby Hauck's four-year tenure, the Rebels won a Mountain West opener on an evening they surrendered 400 yards rushing in the first half.
None of it mattered. Not how crazy the scoring was. Not how easily the Lobos ran the ball those first 30 minutes. Not that it was 42-42 entering the fourth quarter.
His shirt soaked from a bath of celebratory water supplied by his players and a game ball clutched in his hand afterward, Hauck wore the smile of a man who understood the victory's significance.
Losing is a hard thing. It wears on those who experience it often.
Herring knows the feeling.
He is one of three remaining recruits signed by former coach Mike Sanford, a young man who arrived at UNLV a quarterback, played in 20 games at the position and started nine of those from 2010 to 2012, lost the job to Nick Sherry before last season and was switched to wide receiver.
Doubt didn't just creep into Herring.
It engulfed him.
"A lot of ups and downs during my time here," Herring said. "Going to a position last year that I never played before, it was easy to think about just walking away. But the guys in our locker room, the coaches, they wouldn't let me. They believed in me, encouraged me.
"My family is also very strong in our faith. They always believed there was a reason I came to UNLV, a reason above me, a reason above all of us. They believed that when Coach Sanford left and Coach Hauck came in. They kept telling me to believe also.
"I'm sure glad I stayed with it."
He replaced the sophomore Sherry on the third drive against Central Michigan on Sept. 14 and now has led the Rebels to three straight wins, a first for UNLV since 2003.
On Saturday, Herring completed 24 of 34 passes for 293 yards and four touchdowns, the final one coming on third-and-goal from the 7 with 4:46 remaining.
It was the culmination of a 15-play, 80-yard drive that amassed 6:55 of the clock, a drive that the Rebels desperately needed for so many reasons. Not just to win but to do so on the road for the first time since October 2009, to prove something positive could happen to a program that has known negative for so long.
It wasn't just appropriate Herring directed it.
It was fitting, needed, a terrific moment for the sort of kid you want good things to find.
If you can't root for Caleb Herring, you don't accept what little innocense remains in college athletics.
"He's an awesome guy, a great team guy that will do whatever it takes," Hauck said. "Right now, that's playing quarterback really well. Obviously, as a coach, you're proud of him. He's the guy you want in your locker room."
Hauck has said the quarterback position will be competed between Herring and Sherry for the remainder of the season, knowing that at this point if he starts anyone but Herring, there is a good chance he would be run out of town and back to Montana before the pregame coin flip lands on turf.
But perhaps a bit of mystery is the best route to travel for all involved, especially a player whose career has been anything but a steady excursion.
"The competition between Nick and I is good for our entire team, for it to know we have two guys who can do the job," Herring said. "It only makes Nick and I better players.
"I wouldn't want it any other way. I wouldn't want anything handed to me."
It never has been, which makes this moment, this win, this game-winning drive led by this particular quarterback, all the sweeter for UNLV.

JERUSALEM, Oct. 1 (JTA) As the latest Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire teetered this week on the brink of collapse, tensions rose to new heights within Israel's unity coalition and defense establishment.
Shimon Peres, the foreign minister and the senior Labor Party figure in the government, has been at the center of these tensions, and he may soon have to face growing calls from fellow ministers for him to leave the government.
Peres was quoted as faulting the army for the steep rise in Palestinian fatalities that followed his Sept. 26 meeting with Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat at the Gaza airport, where the two sides formally proclaimed the new cease-fire.
While Peres has denied the quotes attributed to him, there is little doubt that he and his followers are bitterly critical of what they see as the army's trigger-happiness at this crucial juncture in the conflict.
While death toll figures alone cannot tell the whole story, the fact is that Palestinian fatalities rose markedly after the Sept. 11 terror attacks against the United States, and have continued to rise since the Peres-Arafat meeting.
Indeed, a 16-year-old Palestinian youth was killed during a firefight between the army and Palestinian gunmen that took place within earshot of the Peres-Arafat meeting.
And in an incident that took place Sunday in the West Bank, two Palestinian workers were shot dead and six others injured when army troops at a roadblock opened fire on a taxi that they said refused orders to stop.
After the soldiers opened fire on the vehicle, the workers tumbled out and sought to flee. The soldiers picked them off. None of the workers was armed or had any terrorist record or link.
According to the criticism emanating from the Peres camp, the Israel Defense Force is not giving the cease-fire a chance.
Others in the Peres camp are meanwhile aiming their criticisms at the hawks in the government.
They charge that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has not given Peres' cease-fire effort any convincing personal and political backing.
Sharon has not, they say, acted to create an overall atmosphere congenial to reducing the intensity of the armed conflict and resuming the diplomatic process.
The prime minister is said to be torn between pressures from his own hard-liners in the government and pressures from Washington, where the overriding consideration is to put the Israeli-Palestinian violence on a back burner pending the successful construction of an international anti-terror coalition that includes Arab and Islamic nations.
"No wonder the soldier at the road block is torn and confused," one seasoned observer mused, "if the prime minister is too."
The deep division in the government was dramatically underscored Monday, when a car bomb exploded in the Talpiot neighborhood of Jerusalem, but caused no injuries.
Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility, and Peres was quick to condemn Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah as "the bin Laden of the Middle East."
But the hawkish minister of public security, Uzi Landau, took a far different tack. Noting that the government latest extension of the cease-fire would end in 24 hours, he said Israel would then have to act without letup to give the terrorists no respite.
It was clear that as far as Landau was concerned, "the terrorists" included not only the three organizations that Peres had focused on, but the Palestinian Authority itself.
Landau and other hawkish ministers are now openly talking of forming a Cabinet caucus whose purpose would be to bring about the removal of Peres from the government.
They believe and they may well be right that they can detach Peres from his party, and force him to leave while the other Labor ministers stay on, thereby preserving the unity framework that is so important to Sharon at home and abroad.
For his part, Arafat has discerned the fissures on the Israeli side and is pointing them up in all his diplomatic conversations.
The Palestinian line is that Sharon and the hawks have given the Israeli army tacit permission to shoot and kill indiscriminately, while the Palestinian Authority is doing its best to observe the cease-fire.
Israeli intelligence sources say the Palestinian Authority is doing more than in the past. But they claim that Palestinian officials are unwilling to arrest terrorists, which Israel considers the chief criterion of good faith.
During their meeting last week, Peres handed Arafat a list of 108 people that Israel says are actively engaged in terrorism. No one has since been arrested or incarcerated by the Palestinian Authority.
Palestinian sources say it is politically impossible for Arafat to make wholesale arrests of Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives, as he did back in the mid-1990s following a wave of bus bombings inside Israel.
These sources maintain that the two fundamentalist movements would abide by the cease-fire, without of course formally accepting it, if only the IDF would enable it to take hold.
But the bomb in Jerusalem on Monday suggests otherwise.
If the cease-fire collapses as it surely would have had the Jerusalem bomb claimed lives some observers predict an unprecedentedly aggressive Israeli response.
On the political plane, this scenario could well spell the end of the unity government, at least in its present form.
And even if only Peres leaves while other Labor ministers remain, the departure of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate could leave the government's image, both at home and abroad, seriously compromised.

Buffalo on radar for Costco outlet
With planned expansion in New York state, discount warehouse retailer Costco is scouting sites in the Buffalo Niagara region for possible locations to open one of its outlets.
The Buffalo Niagara site search, real estate sources said, comes after the company has already decided on locations for the Rochester and Syracuse markets. Albany is also getting a serious Costco site search.
"It's getting real close," one local retailing real estate insider said.
Several sources said Costco's real estate representatives are considering sites in the Tonawanda/Amherst area as well as the lucrative Amherst/Clarence area, Cheektowaga near the Walden Galleria, the Southtowns and Niagara Falls. The company views the Buffalo Niagara region as either a single store or two-store locale.
The stores would be in the 150,000-square-foot range.
Upstate New York is one of the targeted expansion areas being eyed by Costco Wholesale Corp. The retailer has five locations in Southern Ontario between Toronto and St. Catharines.
Analysts say Costco is the retailing rival of both BJ's Wholesale Club and Sam's Club.
