Following up on u/mott_street's recent post comparing the new Spectracolor CS-Lite scanning light to u/jrw01's scanlight project, I thought that I'd throw my test in comparing the new Spectracolor unit to the original CS-Lite.

I took three photos with my scanning setup (Nikon D610 w/ Nikon 105mm f2.8D Micro Nikkor) using the original CS-Lite, the new Spectracolor CS-Lite with the provided filters, and the Spectracolor CS-Lite without filters. My normal reversal process uses RawTherapee. I white balance to an unexposed section of negative, invert, adjust curves so the image spans the full RGB range, and then color correct.

I received my Phantom from Fedex yesterday afternoon and was super excited to get riding it.

Unfortunately, in less than 24 hours and ~10 miles of riding, my experience with the poor quality control and broken parts has eroded all the trust I had in this scooter to safely transport me.

In order of discovery prior to my first ride:

1. The rear fender rubs the wheel, badly. I did my best to adjust it out of the way, but was unable to without seriously deforming the bracket. I removed it, and filed a ticket with FluidFreeRide
2. The plastic handle clip that locks the metal clamping mechanism was broken out of the box
3. The trim piece that houses the rear right blinker is cracked through f

Wanted to see if I'm the only person having issues with poor germinating rates using seeds from Puckerbutt. After four weeks in rockwool on a heat mat at 85 degrees, I had zero of the six seeds I sowed sprout.

I then ordered some seeds from https://www.whitehotpeppers.com/ (super nice people too, gave me a bunch of extra varieties) and planted those along with some older hot paper lantern seeds from www.johnnyseeds.com as a control group. Here I am about a week later with sprouts coming up from several of the more recently planted seeds.

Curious to see if anybody else has had similar experiences, or if I just

Does anybody know of any ISP/telecom/power companies looking for volunteers in Puerto Rico or nearby islands affected by hurricane Maria?

I'm a recent college graduate (computer science) and I figured that there might be some need for bodies on the ground to get critical services restored. I've already looked at the traditional volunteer avenues (red Cross, etc), but I wanted to see if there was somewhere my skill set could be used.

Thanks

Hey all,

So I've been brewing a bit over a year now (first extract, now all grain for the past 4 batches), and I've decided it's finally time to try my hand at coming up with my own recipe. I wanted to start with something simple, so I went with a spin on an american adjunct lager. I'm actually going to be brewing it as an ale (as I lack the ability to lager currently), and then kegging. I'm shooting for something easy to drink like a Narragansett, but with a little more bite (thus the higher IBU).

My current recipe is as follows:

• 5.5lbs 2 row malt
• 3.5lbs flaked corn
• 0.75oz hallertau@60
• 0.5oz saaz@60
• Nottingham yeast

The app I'm using to calculate the recipe predicts an OG of 1
