Subject For Interview Thank You Letter
Following the many debates that have arisen about the quality of journals in Spain and what should be the content of a journal "ideal", I have some thoughts that I share and launch an idea of \u200b\u200ba project. Currently
contrast the concepts magazines and forums. And in opposition, especially in two features currently and interactivity.
The magazine is static, is a picture that reflects today at some point and it takes long to reach the hand of the reader. 8s are collected two months after the conclusion.
The forum is dynamic, now reaches near-real time: The 8S had chronic with pictures to nine in the evening of that same afternoon that were held.
The magazine is not interactive, as much arbirtra the mechanism of letters to the editor, but it is a fossilized mechanism, slow and of little interest
The forum is interactive, at the same time that you read answer or think, if more delay.
said that the magazine seems to have little to do, but that is not:
Magazine is permanent, can be stored, their content is easy to read and is lined with "materiality" while the forums have an aura of lightness and transience evident. It is also difficult to access ancient information, a wire buried in the past two or three years.
there other information that must shuffle: the magazine is periodic, the forum is not, the magazine has a fixed signature, the forum is not, the journals can publish papers of some length by an author in the forums this is much more difficult. Disperse
But without the two keys we reviewed the flow in time and interactivity.
If you could combine these features have something very interesting. There are some online publications, such as the shipyard, but it reproduces the framework of the journal paper: it is interactive and is periodic, only instead of buying it at the kiosk is caught in a web address. That itself is free and appreciated.
So the recipe is simple: to make an interactive magazine, but not chaotic, periodic, but not subject to the rigidity of a point in time. What should be
this? We may have the answer before: a group blog. Imagine ... If you're reading this and going to the top of the page, there, on the left is a column titled "Blog Archive", now imagine that each month for which there appear filed is a number of this magazine ... we have the periodicity. Now enter one of these hypothetical numbers ... It would take each month as a unit throughout the month, (I stress it's long), each employee would publish his column (the column of Ramon, the column of x, that of Y, Z) or columns , or section or whatever you call it, so we are free of temporal rigidity, if 8S celebrated on 22 March as the chronicle can be hung on 23 and not have to wait until April or May ...), Since each column allows comments have ensured interactivity, but as this is channeled into the scheme marked articles and columns do not create chaos forumers.
In terms of content I think it should have three parts:
An information section on "volatile" Today, such as photos and opinion about the event in Laredo, to say one. Another
information section on "stable", for example, the editor and place an item on your boat or makes a step by step and so on.
and a part on pure opinion. This part is I think very necessary because there is no well-established channels of User Input now would be an interesting window.
What do I need to get going?
First, ideas and opinions. I do not expect many opinions as already tend not to provide widespread, many read, few write, but would welcome views especially in this regard.
Second, essential, some permanent staff. What is a fixed partner? One who undertakes to write a column with what you want at least once a month and, as it deems appropriate, to answer that comment. It is highly desirable that at least one was Hispanic, in order to extend the scope to the American model.
Third: Staff incidental, write those than a month and four no. Blogspot
I think we have a simple and free technical platform to address this project. Lanzo
this idea as a trial balloon, if it raises signal collaborations will continue, if it passes in silence is that it is not viable today.

Is Tramadol Best For Toothache
is nearing the end of the year and the first anniversary of this blog, opened on December 28, 2006. So I welcome a little looking back and take stock, - personal, of course, what has been this year. FORUMS
With regard to the forums I think it was a good year, if we look at ModelismoNaval in my opinion emphasizes three things:
A hatch step by step, I think this is very important for the life of the forums it is one of the most solid pillars as it is one of the most interesting content raises for everyone. For months, the Hussar was just there now section (sections) of the step are bound and hardly a day that no new entries and input them.
The advent of steam. This is a new "self-contained" but important. I say self-contained as steam, by its very nature and complexity will always be something minor, but nevertheless, thanks to the work of three or four member, the section of the steam has gone from quiet to bustling activity. It is responsible Luis Quintana, Xavier Joaquín Avecilla and especially Yarza. To myself I have a motor (removed) that looks at me reproachfully.
The number of additions, as I write these lines foreros discharged to the 3900 approach, the barrier of 4000 is just around the corner and away to stop a leak is constant and continuous additions. I speak from memory, but I get the feeling that is the ship modeling forum, considering the Anglo-Saxon and French, with more members.
On the CuadernaMaestra, Miguel Pulido's work as an administrator I think it should be recognized, it is clear that during this past year has managed to bring order and navigate in a sea full of obstacles, minefields and icebergs in the fog. Have been cut dramatically very negative practices and interventions (trolls, gnomes and other fauna kaleborristica), and now this forum has won peace and good atmosphere.
This means that the controversy of opinions, the off topics and the high number of interventions, which are characteristic of this house, can be conveyed in a peaceful manner. EVENTS
This year may be remembered as the year went Polop, but in which there were many other events. It seems that during this exercise has been a very promising activity of modeling the face. Associations have been formed that will be spoken in the Badajoz AMEBA Curro Acute our friend, others have launched promising to hold events like AMONAGA de Vigo in the double call, the House of Navarre, the sample of Albacete, Classroom of Castellón Bermudez Castro (which I personally think the event is designed to replace Polop), the ceaseless activity of the Association of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe Great Exhibition of L'Illa, and preparation of the major exhibition June-September 2008 events Fuenlabrada promoted by the Association of that city, the competition of Andalusia, the sample of La Coruña and recently AMONAVAL exposure of Laredo. Of the events held at various locations in the Costa Brava do not list it would be endless.
The 8 chairs were held in two versions with an acceptable result and take this opportunity to thank, once again, to all participants. I think the appointment is consolidating and many specific aspects of it are being weighed against other events. CM
It is still the core of another event that follows in his footsteps, which is necessary given the lack of meetings that suffers Madrid.
In short, it is forming a real Modelistica annual calendar of events so that an enthusiastic modeller could practically every month to attend a ceremony for the different parts of Spain.
Lanzo and the idea of \u200b\u200bcoordinating the event as, for example, agreed on the same date of Vigo, Navarra and Fuenlabrada. I think the community modelistic in Spain can not afford that matches the joy in one weekend three appointments importance each of them at one end of the peninsula.
So at this point, despite the loss of Polop, I think the balance is positive. MODELLERS
If I have to mention, from my point of view of the outstanding models this year:
Zapalobaco, Manuel Derqui, for his extraordinary breakthrough in the forums, have won a Jabeque 8S I'm not convinced at all for his prolific activity: the restored, the galleon, the felucca, the Viking and I do not remember what else.
Lluis, the Lord of the Ducks, by providing inventive new things (ducks, squares), to facilitate access to things inaccessible (letters and pieces cut by laser) for participation in major projects (planes Tho Pa Ga) that only with time they will be of its importance.
Luis Quintana, for his extraordinary enthusiasm took us to live a Victory Seekadett and unusual, having swept Drydocks, for helping us all with their orders of "magic items" and not intimidated by new spooky projects: Pilat ... Joaquin
Yarza that not only without him probably would not be writing and reading this, but it has worked to great lengths to improve their websites and support, which we all live (I stress this) also taking the time and inclination for activity AMONAGA . Miguel Pulido
for his work as administrator before I stressed. Up to Agudo
for the work of the museum, where people go and will line up when none of us are. And Antonio Alcaraz
to bring forward all that out.
I can not resist quoting the Chilean model Jorge Diaz O, after suffering a Grade 8 earthquake aftershocks, still in the mood to build truly commendable and worthy of applause. MAGAZINES
We left and we have two. It says everything about these publications. I will not repeat myself or to create controversy in these holiday dates. But just to emphasize one fact: the more ships around the world speaking and boats are not so much. So it has moved more ships more. PROJECTS
Personally, I have four projects in hand models: _
A lugger Breton, San Telmo, which is in its final stages. I'm just working on it now and I intend to end the year.
El Pelayo, very ambitious project that I have stopped a bit of boredom. No doubt the coming year will progress.
The Galez. This project is still very unclear for which I am documenting. Will build a helmet that Harvey has given me. Green. The Galleon Willaerts
. Ambiciosísimo project is poisoning me. Outside
models still I have a very green project for which required collaboration modellers and foreros ... in two words it would be convert this post in a monthly magazine. There will be time to develop ... or not.
And of course, if anything does not change, we will have the 8S'08, in two versions: spring and autumn. MEMORIES
Finally I can not resist reminding modelers that one day broke into the forums, took part with more or less force and suddenly disappeared. JFSebastian, shopkeeper, Cason, PedroAlmería, AlexanderKlapp, if we read, I hope your problems, if any, are resolved and that if what happens is that you have deflation ... the re-inflate. CONCERNS
future I see some shadows dissipate hope I see signs of depletion in the forums, or do not speak or repeat many things, some shift away from content generators, a general feeling of disgust over the magazines and a worrying lack of new projects. Wrong and I hope that within a year we laugh at these lines
And finally, MERRY CHRISTMAS

Macbook Antivirus Freeware
xebec suspected that this would win but never thought I would. Did not have much faith in him. I thought he would lose in vivo. However, when I saw him live once I realized I was going to be first or second. Not only lost, but gained much in reality.
I mean, let's put on a scale I think that was for and what I think was against:
For:
is a felucca. The felucca is a boat like lucky and input. In my not particularly, but I noticed a benevolent disposition in favor of the felucca to the public in general, the xebecs like, like like pandas, babies nestle, chocolate or pork loin. It is a fact.
felucca is a very well done. It has a high average quality. Taken as a whole conveys quality and in vivo this effect is enhanced.
has been highly publicized, well known then. Has been the subject of a detailed step by step and thus had much in the public draft. Is an effect that I noted in my Hussar.
adopts a series of ingenious solutions and aesthetically very aggressive and innovative. The poop in your carpet, candles, how to ratchet guns, Moorish orientation, the disposition of the artillery, the dark decorations .. definitely a good work and innovative.
I love the whole rig
With all this had everything.
Against:
is a kit and a kit that is still known and despite noting the very wise changes. The latter I consider as a must, even in the face to be voted on if it is not a credit.
I do not like the solution given to the decor, it seems very industrial, I think that ship with the quality deserved more craft.
I have not been able Moorish air, I still think it is a felucca Baroque or Renaissance, but I do not Algerian.
I do not like flags. Termination of hull
is something I'm not convinced ... I think it should be the type of wood chosen. Weighing
one thing and another thought it would be in the first place and without doubt it was. I think an appropriate winner. (Skip the word "fair", it does not seem applicable or the felucca, or any of the candidates "top", I believe that none may be incurred by the adjective).
Finally, congratulations to the winner and there has been no surprise. I was in the bouquet of favorites in his own right and took the tape without doubt be able to unite many virtues and achieving a balance highly commendable.
