Rust and patina11/1/2023 ![]() If you decide to go the patina route over regular use of oil/wax/polish, then I’d encourage experimenting with it on a simple mono-steel (non-damascus) blade first to get the hang of it, getting a feel for how thick of a coating to use. Patinas will change over time with use, but this is the traditional way of prevention corrosion on carbon steel that has worked for Note: I just rinse/wipe off the mustard with water (no soap) between applications, I only clean initially before starting the process. Basically you repeat the cycle until you reach the desired patina, and then coat at least the edge with oil. Forcing a patina like this (mustard) works both on carbon steel and carbon steel damascus. You can also mask areas with nail polish if you want to create patterns or simply apply mustard to limited areas and/or apply a range of thicknesses of mustard. I try to avoid putting mustard on the edge and after applying wipe the edge clean. Clean the steel first with Dawn or equivalent and then apply a thin layer of mustard and let it sit for a while, 10-20 min is my starting point before rinsing/wiping clean, DRYING, and applying another coating. One of the simplest methods to force a patina on carbon steel is application of cheap yellow mustard. Patinas are a surface layer that helps prevent rust – it’s a more rustic alternative than keeping a layer of oil, wax or polish on the steel. Naval Jelly is another option, but if you think that’s the best route, then sending it in for spa treatment is likely a better idea (contact me about spa treatment.) Vinegar, lemon juice and other mild acids will also do the trick, but that’s not what I use so can’t recommend it. But if there is pitting, then fine steel wool (000 or 0000) along with some WD-40 is a better approach and quickly cleans down to base metal. For light surface rust a simple polish like Flitz may be enough to clean things up. Unless it’s a relic that was buried for a while, most rust is just minor surface corrosion. But… if you do get surface rust or minor pitting, it’s pretty simple to clean up and may leave a bit of character to the steel (the residual pitting and tarnish left after cleaning up the rust, not the rust). There is also many techniques shared in this group with additional written notes on how to accomplish these finishes.If you keep your carbon steel clean/dry/oiled or build up a nice patina on it, you won’t have any issues with rust.

Dragon quest dlc11/1/2023 ![]() ![]() If this game was released for Western audiences, would this news inspire you to run out and buy a copy? The feeling I get about the game from what other people are saying is that the series’ shift to MMORPG is throwing a lot of Dragon Quest fans off, but this could be the hook that draws them back in if Square Enix stays true to their word in the unforseeable future. Use it in the beginning of the game because it overwrites the 29 items after the first (the map). Ultimate fans have been pretty content with the recent DLC fighter pass. However, if Square Enix follows through on their promise, this could very well mean Dragon Quest X is definitely worth the money it costs to buy it, because at least five times a year for the next ten years, there will be something completely new. This is a code for NTR or Gateshark that gives you the 29 DLC items. Actual info here: I work The final Super Smash Bros. ![]() Ten years is such a long time, it would be impossible to predict anything about the video game industry ten years from now. 5.00 Released on The Digital Deluxe Upgrade of DRAGON QUEST TREASURES includes three monster allies and some consumable items for your journey. As if that wasn’t enough, Square Enix says that new DLC will be consistently put out for this game for the next ten years. Explore the massive world of DRAGON QUEST and awaken your power in this cant-miss adventure Platform: PS4. Square Enix recently came out and announced that they would not be forgetting about the newest entry into the world famous series for quite some time.Ī major update is set to release every ten weeks for ten years for this RPG turned MMO. Great news for all you Dragon Quest fans out there (well, those of you in Japan anyway).

Nba play by play game 411/1/2023 I get it that the networks probably believe it’s fair to diversify conference matchup and not leave one network with a bad hand and the other not (TNT had bad play-in matchups in 2021, while ESPN had the pot of gold), but my issue is there being no game on Thursday. So as much as I want Morant to get his acknowledgment on a organization like the Grizzlies, NBA has better options for that day and time slot.įinal point, I hope the play-in format going forward follows the 2021 than 2022. If Hawks plays as an 8-seed, we have a 8 over 1 upset possibility. So got to cash that in while you can if you’re the NBA to help market another young star. Ball never played for a prestige collegiate program like his oldest brother, obviously didn’t play in March Madness, he hasnt played on a noticeable pro team, and also in the playoffs which has him in a disadvantage vs Trae Young and Ja Morant. Some may ask why not just concrete Ja Morant Grizzlies on TNT and leave the Heat matchup on NBATV regardless of opponent? I can understand that case, but I must say it’s important for LaMelo Ball to get his recognition if the Hornets make the playoffs. To those that are above casual NBA fans, I know that the Cavs has a All-Star PG in Darius Garland, but there are casual/below casual NBA fans who wouldnt be able to identify him vs. Both teams playing tonight has All-Star PGs that will bring help market a matchup vs top seeded Heat than the Cavs would at their current stage. ![]() I’m assuming Tuesday undecided game on TNT or NBATV all falls on if the winner of tonight’s Hornets/Hawks defeat the Cavs on Friday. Last year, TNT carried games on Tuesday and ESPN on Wednesday, with both networks carrying a single game on Friday. The NBA Play-in Tournament begins April 11 and runs through April 14. For the 2021 schedule, which began a month later than usual in May and ran until July, go to page three. Previous schedulesįor last year’s NBA playoff TV schedule, see page two. Changes from last seasonĪBC is scheduled to carry one conference final game this season, down from two last year. If you subscribe to ESPN or TNT through a cable, satellite or streaming provider, you can watch games through the ESPN app (ESPN and ABC) or the WatchTNT app (TNT). If you do not receive NBA TV as part of your cable/streaming/satellite package, you can purchase the network standalone for $7/month or $59/year. ![]() The TNT Overtime streams do not include the usual camera angles or announcers. ![]() If you do not receive TNT through your cable or satellite provider, all of TNT games will be streamed for free via TNT Overtime available in the NBA app. You can also stream all games with Sling, which has ESPN, TNT and NBA TV (plus ABC games on ESPN3). Each of those platforms has ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV. If you do not have a traditional cable/satellite subscription, you can still stream the full NBA playoff TV schedule via streaming providers Fubo TV (purchase a free trial or subscription here), YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV Stream.

Dotch female streaker10/31/2023 So when the third streaker ran on to the pitch during the second Test between Australia and New Zealand at Eden Park, Chappell chased him, grabbed him and spanked his backside with the bat. Chappell’s victim (Australia vs New Zealand, Auckland, 1977): 1970s earned a bad reputation with a number of streaking incidents happening in cricket so much so that the ‘golden era of streaking’ infuriated the then Australian skipper Greg Chappell to an extent where he had to make a public statement that he would deal severely with the pitch invaders. Indian players had a nice laugh about the incident.ģ. Before he could regain senses, the security officials got hold of him and took him away. ![]() The collision was serious and though it did not cause any harm to burly Symmo, who did it on purpose to nail the streaker, the poor fellow could not understand what happened to him. With the security guys chasing him, the naked guy ran into Andrew Symonds and fell a long way away after bumping into him. Roy’s bunny (India vs Australia, Brisbane, 2008): While the India-Australia ODI from the 2008 CB series was underway, a streaker entered the playing field during Australia’s innings. The streaker, who gained celebrity status, became the first invader to interrupt a game of cricket.Ģ. The freaker (England vs Australia, Lord’s, 1975): When the England and Australia 1975 Test at Lord’s was crawling towards a draw, a ‘freaker’ as he was then called, Michael Angelow invaded the cricket pitch and leaped over the stumps. ![]() Chinmay Jawalekar has penned down the list of 20 such incidents from the cricketing history in two parts. In cricket too the incidents of streaking have been reported on number of occasions, where the invaders have caused much embarrassment for the organisers, cricketers and often the viewers too. ![]() In the world of sports, a streaking incident usually happens during a match where the streaker invades the field quickly and either leaves on his/her own or gets chased and caught by the police/security officials. Streaking, as its Wikipedia page defines it, is the act of running naked through a public place as a prank, dare or an act of protest.

Jiffy lube hours saturday shamrock10/31/2023 Since its inception, MDA has evolved to include support and research for not only muscular dystrophy, but also ALS and related neuromuscular diseases. ![]() Over the next 34 years, the annual telethon was responsible for helping to raise over $2 billion for MDA. In 1971, the telethon was broadcast nationwide for the first time. In 1966, the first MDA Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon was so successful that Labor Day weekend was selected to be an annual tradition. Just six years later, the pair hosted the first MDA Telethon to raise money and awareness for the organization. After meeting with comedians Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, both agreed to help promote the charity’s message. Cohen also realized that, in order to get the word out about the charity, he would have to enlist the help of celebrities. Realizing that more awareness was needed to help fund research, Cohen assembled a group of like-minded individuals to form what would become the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The story of the MDA begins in June of 1950, thanks to a prominent New York City business leader, Paul Cohen, who was living with muscular dystrophy. ![]() Over the last 38 years, the MDA Shamrock program has helped raise more than $330 million for MDA, providing support to families affected by neuromuscular diseases. What began as a small fundraising effort at a local pub in 1983 has evolved into a nationwide event with over 20,000 business partners today. Through March 17, when our customers purchase a Shamrock from their neighborhood Chicagoland Jiffy Lube® location, they can be confident that 100% of their donation goes directly to MDA to help fund much needed research and send kids to MDA summer camp, where kids experience awesome adventures in an environment where barriers don’t exist. Springtime may evoke images of blooming flowers and sunny days, but for all of us at the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Jiffy Lube® Co-Op, springtime means it is time for our annual MDA Shamrock fundraiser!.

Lightshot online10/31/2023 ![]() Therefore, it can be concluded that many victims have fallen for this scam. The wallets’ addresses contained in the websites are the following: CurrencyĠx9fde7bd79830b7c6df049c9b6fcf6f04f7c9e62bĠx90D51665164baf6eCF29cDAcDC9390FB7660bb0cĪs of the time of writing, they have up to dozens of transactions for a total of around 0.2384 BTC and 1 ETH. Note that the URL contains one of the websites mentioned above. This page is the same used in some of the other websites. For instance, this is the page that appears when navigating to 134: Two of the four IPs show some connections with the fake websites. Two of the three favicons have the following matches: Their MurmurHash values have been calculated and searched for on Shodan: in this way new, different IPs using the same favicon were discovered. The websites discussed above use three different favicons. Following is a snippet of the part shown when chosing to withdraw BTC:Īs can be seen, everything is hardcoded and simply aims at having the user pay the fee. The ones with the first template contain a plaintext JS script in the HTML source code that generates the confirmation request. ![]() The websites’ malicious intents are visibile through their source code. When trying to withdraw money, the websites prompts the user to confirm the request by sending a small fee to an address controlled by the actors. It looks like the only thing that can be done is logging in with the fake account: even then, the only available working operation seems to be withdrawing cryptocurrencies.Įxample of a profile page on a different fake website: there is no possibility to signup, some links are not leading anywhere, and contact information are made up. Although at first glance they appear to be legitimate, a closer look reveals that their functionality is somewhat broken, e.g. However, the websites are thought to use other bitcoin exchanges’ parts: in fact, they appear as if they are up-to-date, full-fledged and complete modern websites with dashboards, legal information and “About us” pages. Searching on urlscan for the favicons’ hashes show that the first template is partially copied by cex.io, a legitimate bitcoin exchange. The actor employs two different websites templates: one is used by crypto-wallet-btc, sell-buy-btc, sellbuy-btc and bit-trading, while the other one is used by crypto-trade24, btc-ex and bit-trade. For instance, the websites sell-buy-btconline and bit-tradingonline, small variations of the domains above, are hosting the same fake sites. Searching for similar websites on urlscan yields some results, suggesting that there may be many others. Their WHOIS information show no common signs, other than the fact that they are all relatively new domains, registered a few weeks to some months ago. Some examples are reported below.Ī total of five different fake websites has been discovered: The images range from fake gmail screenshots of a password reset notification with cleartext credentials, to notepad++ screenshots, up to even handwritten notes. The URL can be easily changed to view other screenshots, and while doing so one can quickly notice a pattern consisting of several images of login information to websites related to bitcoins. Once taken, the screenshot can be uploaded to prnt.sc with a unique URL. ![]() Lightshot comes as an executable that installs itself as a service and waits for the user to press the PrintScreen button. Following is a more detailed explanation of the scam’s mechanisms. The core idea is that people bruteforcing the website’s URLs are going to find and log into these fake exchanges and try to withdraw the money, but in order to do that they must first give some money to the actors. These websites are fake and contain no functionality other than asking for a small fee to confirm cryptocurrency withdrawals. Considering the lack of access controls and the predictability of the URI, other people’s screenshots can be easily viewed by bruteforcing the URL.Īn unkown actor is uploading several images containing login information to bitcoin exchange websites, with accounts that appear to have some balance. Lightshot is a screenshot capturing program that allows screenshots to be uploaded to a web-based service hosted on prnt.sc, in order for them to be easily shared: their URI is composed of a seemingly random seven characters alphanumeric string, e.g.: prnt.sc/12abcdef. A type of scam regarding the abuse of the online screenshots sharing service Lightshot has been identified in the wild.

Includes game times, TV listings and ticket information for all Vikings games. 18 hours ago &0183 &32 Before tuning into Sundays Vikings vs. ![]() Isaiah Pacheco’s touchdown run capped the drive and gave Kansas City the early lead. ESPN has the full 2023 Minnesota Vikings Regular Season NFL schedule. The Vikings lost a fumble on their opening possession, again, a turnover by tight end Josh Oliver that the Chiefs recovered at the Minnesota 45. “Hats off go to those guys.”Īll four of Minnesota’s losses have come by eight points or fewer this year after a record 11 wins in 11 one-score games in 2022. “They played exceptionally today,” said Chris Jones, who had one of the three sacks and three of the 12 hits on Cousins. Jefferson was held to three catches and 28 yards, both season lows, with cornerback L’Jarius Sneed leading the effort from the secondary. With coordinator Steve Spagnuolo sending plenty of extra rushers at Cousins, the defense was the catalyst for the Chiefs. He watched the first possession after halftime from the sideline and went back in for the next one. This is a play Vikings fans will look back on. Kelce, whose rumored girlfriend Taylor Swift was not in attendance after the superstar singer attended the Chiefs’ previous two games, fell awkwardly to the turf after catching a pass in the second quarter and went for X-rays. The Vikings are now the first team in NFL history to go 10-0 in one-possession games through the first 14 games of a season. |
