Page turn: Blur to Sharp Focus
I've noticed that starting with the June edition, when turning a page in either direction, the image is blurred at first, then progresses to sharp focus. I've seen this in magazines I read using the Zinio reader as well. I don't know about the rest of your readers, but I find this irritating. I much prefer the way it worked in prior months where the next page image was always sharp. Sometimes there may be a very slight delay in fetching the page image, but usually not since it seems to have prefetched the image before I'm ready to turn the page.
Issues not opening up correctly after downloading
This may be a just me thing, but the April, May and June issues are not opening right on my computer. For all the other issues in my MRH folder there are covers, I click on them and they open. These three issues are blank, when I click on them, a new window opens up and ask me what program I want to use to open it with. I click adobe and everything works fine after that.
Just wondering is anyone else is having this issue.
Thanks,

MRH Dedication Shows Worthy Goal, Leads Me By Example
As a fellow follower of Jesus, I really do like the dedication page at MRH! I've even linked to it on my web site's FB page. Specifically, I appreciate how they don't invest in model railroading, but in the hobbyists!

May '13 - comment on stripwood staining fixture
I looked at this article with great interest, being that I'll be handlaying HO track on one or more modules (code 70). The method sounded really good until Mr. Napper said he had to stain the ends of the ties once they were cut. That was a real turn-off for me. It's too much work.
I thought I'd share my method, not that I think it's better or anything, but it's what I've found is cheap and works for me. Caveat: I have tried this only on balsa ties. I have not yet tried it on basswood. I have also not read extensively on staining methods for ties.
Image rendering Problem MRH Magazine
I usually read my MRH in iBooks on my iPad. Occasionally some images do not render, a slight inconvenience. However with the May 2013 Landscape issue the problem had far greater impact. Not only was I not able to see one of the circuit diagrams in the DCC Impulses article, but the majority of the images in the Freight Trucks article did not render.
I decided to conduct some further tests. Using the same file every time ""39.MRH13-05-May2013-L.pdf" I discovered the following:
