Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman got it right: War is hell.
There's not much gallant or noble about it. It's blood and body parts and wailing.
"Collateral damage" is the sanitized way to describe the suffering of innocent bystanders.
On Sunday, 78 civilians died in the most horrific attack yet on Pakistan's Christian minority. A pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up amid hundreds of worshippers at the historic All Saints Church in Peshawar.
The Jundullah arm of the Taliban claimed responsibility, saying they would continue to target non-Muslims until the U.S. stops drone attacks on Taliban forces in Pakistan's remote tribal region.
The U.S. has carried out several hundred drone attacks against militants and their allies near the Afghan border. The latest came on the same day as the church attack, when missiles hit two compounds in the North Waziristan tribal area,. Six suspected militants died.
The church bombing injured 141 people, including 37 children. The death count included 34 women and seven children.
It may not be tactically correct to do so, but it's hard to overlook the imbalance: Six dead on one side, 78 on the other.
Targeting innocent people "is against the teachings of Islam and all religions," the Pakistani prime minister said.
One of the problems of the nasty business of warfare is that it can be hard to tell who the innocent ones are.
But it's certain that those who died at All Saints Church didn't go around killing people.

Here she shows up in her skin-tight pink dress and thigh-high white stockings, revealing the sexiest skin view foreshadowing the striptease that's about to come! Sexy piercings of her lip and nipples let you know you are in for a wild ride and her firm bubble-butt is begging to be appreciated as well - but today is all about facial cumshots and Mia gets the action underway tugging at your waistband with her teeth and tongue! Beautiful deep blowjob thrusts are enhanced by her petty french-manicured finger nails, and when she starts stroking a big blast of cum all over her face you'll love the way she leaves her mouth wide up and never stops jerking until every drop is sprayed on her face and tits!

YAY! CONGRATS! That is so awesome and she is too lovely. I love all of her hair. My baby girl also surprised us by topping out at almost 9 pounds. Whew. I love your ending sentence. After both of my babies, once I realized I was no longer pregnant, I busted out into massive loads of tears. Yeah, I guess I don't like bring pregnant much.

Wonder how tall he was with that hat on!
Already the upcoming election has driven the shirt.woot writers to the edge(this is driven to the edge thinking, right?).
This seems so wrong.
"We call this color: once in the black of the head" thats just wrong, punny, but wrong :p Also I must have missed the day in kindergarten when the teacher's told us about all the sexual innuendo in Dr. Suess's writing...
Boss shirt, boss!
How does he go vampire hunting in that hat? Wouldn't it make him easier to spot?
I don't get it...but I'm buying it anyway because people say I look like Abe Lincoln...
Looks like ol' Abe has gone from slaying vampires to annoying Dr. Seuss characters.

Ditto this: The whole John Wilkes Booth thing was probably some kind of kinky roleplay gone wrong.
c00rdb wrote:I don't get it...but I'm buying it anyway because people say I look like Abe Lincoln...
"Look Like Abe Lincoln" screams to be a riff on "Moves Like Jagger". I challenge W to the O to the O to the T readers to write it. In other news, I think this is a great "Cat in the Hat" tee. Was disappointed, Woot, that you made weird freak jokes about Lincoln instead of going the opposite route, having the hat make him a cool (jazz?) cat before his time.
it's kinda hip cool 60s talk. He's the cat in the hat, man.
Why did Honest Abe steal the cat's hat?
Too soon, man, too soon.
First instabuy in a long time. The absurdity is absurdly absurd. Good job!
Honestly Abe, where's your blue star spangled pocket square?
c00rdb wrote:I don't get it...
Really? Maybe this will help...
Abe Lincoln's clinical depression has been well documented by many respectable researchers. I believe wearing this hat would have turned things around for him pretty quickly!
I kinda prefer Chester A. Arthur as the Lorax.
The Republicans were once the party of Lincoln; now they're the party of people in silly hats.
Awesome shirt, stupendously awful write-up.
Yeah this is the most uninspired and outright lewd shirt narratives. It's like watching a King of The Hill episode that was written by Family Guy writers
Rave Lincoln
As an aside, currency on which 'In God We Trust' is marked out is often rejected by the machines that strap cash into stacks. It is considered mutilated and is eventually destroyed. Same thing goes for those obnoxious 'Where's George' stamps. I've even seen people write it by hand on twenties. Grrr...
This shirt seems disrespectful... I'm not sure one of the greatest US Presidents should be portrayed in this manner... but I'm sure there those who find it cute, most likely the same folks who admire Castro.
I'm buying shirts for my kids to wear on Read Across America Day (March 2nd), the obligatory day when schools read Dr. Seuss books in front of cameras operated by mundane local TV news reporters.
Ah, Abe Lincoln. Every time he's on a shirt, the heatmap for the southern states goes dark. Reliable as rain.
I read somewhere when Abe would wear that hat it would just drive Mary "nuts"!
Can I pay for this in pennies? Poor Abe, you've been Suessed.
I don't like it.
Anything that sheds Abe Lincoln in a hilarious light is good to me.
shirt.woot, I am disappoint. It takes a lot for me to NOT want to own a Lincoln shirt, and yet between the bizarre image and downright terrible write up, you've managed it. Tisk tisk.
Hey, baby- Who's that cat in the hat??
aramis525 wrote:Boss shirt, boss!
I know!
Wow have to agree, the write up really stinks and makes me feel compelled to pass on the shirt.
dfunk29 wrote:Wonder how tall he was with that hat on!
The same height but the hat makes him look taller.
haven't bought a woot shirt in eons. Today... I'm in for one!

Yeah, creepy. I was also wondering what Suess had to do with kink...the Cat was obviously messed up, but sex toys under hat..?!?
m3wthr33 wrote: Ah, Abe Lincoln. Every time he's on a shirt, the heatmap for the southern states goes dark. Reliable as rain. What a foolish thing to say. 1. Your comment is not even backed up by the Woot map. 2. Offhand, I don't remember even ONE other "Abe Lincoln" shirt offered on Woot, let alone the SEVERAL you seem to imply when you write, "every time he's on a shirt, the heatmap for the southern states goes dark. Reliable as rain." 3. Judging by the majority of the comments, it seems that most non-purchasers are put off by the write-up, not Mr. Lincoln. I'm not sure if you were attempting humor or a legitimate insult to people from the south, but either way... FAIL.

Comments about TuffTop Tractor Canopy:
I use this canopy on my bx 2350 kubota tractor. I mow 2.5 acres so the shade is great when it's 90. I see no downfalls to this product. Also the quick removal is a major plus for areas where there trees and etc. to close to get around. Frankly for the money could not be better.
Highly Recommend

About Me Novice
I did not buy the Manufacturers canopy because of the material type and thought i would destroy it the first day out... I was correct, the first time i used the tractor with the new canopy installed i got stuck in the trees and no damage occurred because of the type of material used...

Re: Blinded (resub)
This depicts the Greek myth of Icarus, who was overcome with the sublime feeling of flight during his escape from Crete and flew too close to the sun despite his father's warnings, which melted the wax in his wings and caused him to fall to his death. I see greed as desiring something too much (be it material watch or simply a feeling), just as Icarus was blinded by his own greed to fly higher into the sun.

Wasn't Icarus overcome by the joy of flying and just forgot to not fly too high? I really don't think the story of Daedalus and Icarus had anything to do with greed.
Re: In Pursuit of the Dollar
I can't believe this isn't in the fog. It fits the theme perfectly, is very clever, not on a grey shirt, and incredibly wearable. Instead we have monkeys, a pig, and another penguin. PAAAaaaAAaaaanCAAAAAKES!??? This is why I never even check to see what's on sale fri-sun. I know it's something I'll never buy because I'm over the age of 10. Oh well.
Re: get your own bamboo
This reminds me of my favorite poem: Icarus fell but oh what a tan.
cuteness!!!!!!! I want one
great design. Love the shading. I'm so glad I bought an olive shirt from woot already, so I know how nice the color is in person! This is a very wearable shirt that says "greed" without saying it so loud that you'd have to explain it to everyone. I'm collecting beach t-shirts, and this is perfect for going to our (hermit-crab over-populated) beach!

I think it's a matter of literary interpretation. We talked about this very issue in my undergrad classic lit course (whether it was forgetfulness or blatant disobedience) as in the literature his motivations are never really mentioned: "They passed Samos and Delos on the left and Lebynthos on the right, when the boy, exulting in his career, began to leave the guidance of his companion and soar upward as if to reach heaven. The nearness of the blazing sun softened the wax which held the feathers together, and they came off. He fluttered with his arms, but no feathers remained to hold the air. While his mouth uttered cries to his father, it was submerged in the blue waters of the sea, which thenceforth was called by his name." I tend to interpret it as an act of selfish disobedience. I've also seen the myth used to describe situations in modern culture where people get too greedy and meet negative consequences as a result.
GMV for various reasons! 1. I agree that the monkeys and pigs should burst into flames 2. I would actually wear this 3. For some reason I like buying multiple shirts in a derby and I'll definitely get Cho's penquins if it's available. Oh yes, and tub o' butter kings are a strange strange fetish of mine...or is it geography...I get confused sometimes.
Two tuxedos is just excessive.

After this post, and my response, several men chimed in, many agreeing with your more sinister interpretation. Is it her gracefulness can be interpreted as heartless nonchalance? who knows. but interesting to look at one's work again and see something different.
Can you post a larger and less compressed picture of the image? I pulled all these colors out of it in Paint.

Hi There;
I've had a really tough 2 weeks. I've been extremely sick. I was "assaulted" by a student. One of my students is pregnant by her boyfriend who is 18 and her mother is pressing charges of stat. rape and somehow she thinks I can help. I broke up a fight between two of my students and dragged four more down to the office to try and avoid another fight. And of course there's the regular cajolling, begging, threatening, and pleading to get the kids to do any work.
The point of all this is that near the end of last week, I started getting really depressed. I found that I didn't feel like praying and that I was having some real problems having any faith. I was doubting everything. 91/2 years of miraculous sobriety and miraculous gifts, but I couldn't see it. I was just seriously having trouble believing in any higher power.
So, thankfully, some small hard won piece of sanity kept me walking through my daily routines regardless of how I was feeling. I went to a meeting. I kept reading the BB; the chapter to the agnostic felt appropriate, and I kept praying and taking my daily inventory. The BB told me that if I couldn't believe then at least pray to be willing to believe—so that's what I did and it worked.
When I got sober accepting a higher power wasn't a problem for me, so I don't know why it became one now, but I was really feeling desperate. And then today, somehow, in the middle of the latest mess and stress I was okay again. Somehow, my faith switch was back on and my depression lifted.
This was the first time I've ever faced this problem and it was scary. Life without a higher power and my spiritual foundation is a pretty hopeless place. I'm really grateful for this program that kept me walking through my basic routines until I could get my faith back; without the program I don't know what would have happened.

Can't wait .. this show craps on everything else on Tv !
Ok next to Sons of Anarchy and American Horror Story maybe not. Everything else is just garbage.
i wouldn't say that either there is dexter, game of thrones, homeland, strike back and such others plenty of good stuff if you got the channels
I'm so excited

NON-RELATED QUESTION TO ALL......so help me out,i was watching thor yesterday then the avengers just now and it dawned on me,how did thor get back to earthin the avengers,wasnt he stuck on asgard cause the rainbow bridge was destroyed.what did i miss and where.so any info would be helpfull.thanx
This looks cool and all, but I'm all for continuity too... In last season's closing episode, wasn't the prison like, a block away? It's very possible I'm missing something, but in this clip they're talking about how they've spent the whole winter running in cirlces, checking houses, etc...
Lorie still looks like a bi-polar bitch.
Good TV shows in no particular order (my opinion)
Fringe, Game of Thrones, Homeland, American Horror Story, Supernatural, Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad.
Revolution... i'm still on the fence alternates between excellent and GOD I HATE CHARLIE.
Arrow... trailer looks promising as hell.
The Last Resort... 2nd episode was terrible so i'll give it 1 or 2 more chances.

Eldacar (T.A. 1255[1] – 1490,[2] aged 235 years) was the twenty-first King of Gondor. He was the son of Valacar and Vidumavi and born with the name Vinitharya.
Eldacar's father Valacar had gone to live among the Northmen of King Vidugavia's realm in T.A. 1250. While there Valacar fell in love with and married the King's daughter, princess Vidumavi. Their son, named Vinitharya, would later be called Eldacar.[3] In 1260 Valacar brought his family and a household of noble Northmen back to Gondor.[4]
The high men of Gondor frowned upon Valacar's marriage to a woman of alien and "lesser" race for they feared that Vidumavi's descendants would prove short-lived. As Valacar grew old rebellion smouldered in the southern fiefs of Gondor since many refused to accept Eldacar as their upcoming lord. When Eldacar succeeded his father in T.A. 1432 full civil war erupted, called the Kin-strife.[3]
Eldacar showed no sign of more rapid aging than any of the Dúnedain and displayed fearlessness in opposing those who sought to depose him. However, the rebels came against him in great strength and drove him out of Osgiliath after a siege that laid waste to the city (and caused the loss of the palantír kept in the Tower of the Stone). While Eldacar fled to Rhovanion a distant relative named Castamir claimed his throne and had Eldacar's son Ornendil put to death.
Eldacar gathered together his kinsfold in Rhovanion, those Northmen who had served Gondor, and many of the Dúnedain from the northern parts of Gondor. In this he was aided by the cruelty and lack of generosity of Castamir, and by Castamir's disdain for the land with his plan to remove the seat of the King to Pelargir. After ten years of exile Eldacar led a great army to reclaim his Kingship. His forces were augmented by the people of Calenardhon, Anórien, and Ithilien. The greatest clash during Eldacar's return took place at the Crossings of Erui.
Although Eldacar himself avenged his son Ornendil by slaying Castamir, the sons of the Usurper escaped from the battle and held out at Pelargir. Gathering the remainder of their forces these sons then sailed to Umbar which then became a refuge for all enemies of the King. The independent lordship of Umbar would remain at war with Gondor for generations, a constant threat to its coastlines and sea traffic.
Eldacar lived for 235 years, which showed that his mother's lineage had not diminished his lifespan as feared. Eventually he was succeeded by his younger son Aldamir.[3]

The story of Ruthie Molloy's quest to create the perfect makeup collection began more than 13 years ago. At that time, Molloy was working as an esthetician, providing treatments to patients who had undergone laser resurfacing treatments for severe scarring and other serious skin conditions. Many of these women had lingering sensitivity, tenderness and inflammation after the treatments and were anxious to hide the irritation without compromising the health of their skin. The only option for her clients was natural mineral makeup, but the powder forms that were available on the market didn't offer enough coverage for their needs.

Illuminare Cosmetics Customer Reviews
illuminare is a great product line - 2/10/2015 10:40:21 AM I use the moisturizing mineral foundation, and also the matte foundation sometimes when I need a bit of extra coverage, so trying out the cheek and eye colors seemed like the thing to do. Am extremely happy with the cheek color. The eye color goes on smooth and has good coverage, but the Cafe Latte color is too light for my fair skin -- looks pasty. Online, the color appears darker and richer. It is very light in the tube.Great Foundation - 11/15/2014 8:59:33 AM I initially tried this as a sample and loved it. You need very little to cover; it blends well whether you use a brush or your fingertips. Lasts all day. I don't need touchups and the matte effect really works. It is the longest lasting foundation I've ever used. Goes on easily over my morning skin care serum and moisturizer. And since you only need a little, one tube lasts a long time. The color works well with my fair complexion and for all the benefits and how long it lasts, the price is just as exceptional.Amazing foundation! - 8/6/2014 7:06:10 PM I discovered this foundation a couple of days ago and I must say I am amazed and overjoyed. I have oily skin and have tried using the more popular foundation brands (Lancome, Chanel, Clinique) over the past few years, but I was never fully satisfied. I kept going back to them only because they were easy to find at any department store, but I always had to dab my face throughout the day to remove some of the oil. Additionally, I always felt like I had too much make up on. Why I love/recommend Illuminare's foundation? My face remained matte-looking longer, it is easier and quicker to apply, the coverage is great, and I am left with a more natural look all day.Great Eyeshadow - 1/14/2014 9:20:38 AM One of the best products for the eyes. I put it on in the morning and the coverage last all day. My eyes look the same in the evening, as they did in the morning. It is also easy to take on traveling trips. Two colors can take you from day to night.Love it so far! - 12/10/2013 9:58:06 AM At first I didn't like this mineral makeup. After realizing my moisturizer contained natural oils, i switched to an oil-free one and BAM! what a difference it made to the look of the makeup.I tried all three and florentine fair is my almost perfect match. the moisturizing one has the least amount of coverage. mattifying goes on well and stays almost all day. the concealer one is thick and appears whiter than the others once on. I have hormonal acne and mattifying mixed wiht the moisturizing covers better the the other mineral makeup I was using from the derm. Most recent mineral makeup was mineralogie. Others ive tried are Bare Minerals, Everyday essentials, Laura Mercier, and Sheer cover .Illuminare covers the best. and looks natural on me. I have dry skin and have no problems when I exfoliate and moisturise with and OIL-FREE moisturiser. Will purchase ASAP. By the way the application sponge is cute and makes the application of this makeup way easier!Creme blush in a tube - 5/1/2013 3:36:05 PM The tube is extremely convenient but it seems to have some kind of liquid like water in it so when you open to use it drips out. Coverage is good but the tube is very small for the price you are paying. Perhaps I should have sent it back since the tube is runny and quite watery. Color is very pretty.Makes a difference - 12/1/2012 5:07:45 AM I recommend this application sponge with Illuminare Make Up. I have tried cheaper sponges and brushes, but this sponge gives a better finish. It's expensive and breaks apart once washed but it is worth the finished look. Illuminare Make Up is the best make up I have used.Great Coverage in a Liquid Mineral Makeup - 11/18/2012 12:06:24 AM I've been using this foundation for years. It gives great coverage. It could be mixed with moisturizer for a lighter coverage. The finish is dewy. The mineral ingredients give this foundation a good SPF that doesn't cause allergic reaction that way chemical sunscreens can.great coverage without a heavy feel - 10/15/2012 9:30:12 AM This moisture formula is great for skin with fine lines and on the dry side. Don't order the matte finish if your skin is on the dry side because it is very dry and defines lines. This moisture formual keeps skin dewy in appearance and the color blends well.Best Make-up I've ever used - 8/3/2012 10:32:58 AM I've tried ALL the major department store brands from Armani to Laura Mercier to Estee Lauder, etc. My former favorite was a toss-up between Armani and LM--both of which are very fine products. Illuminare, however, is in a class of its own in terms of sun protection and coverage. I always return to Illuminare because it never makes my skin break-out, even if I fall asleep with it, and it just 'feels right'. Easy to blend to create just the right shade, too -- a real bonus. -

I'm thankful you posted today. You always bring beauty into my life when I see your photographs. I'm wondering what kind of leaves those are...such brilliant color! Have a wonderful, rich thanksgiving.
Nancy B.RepliesSumac leaves. All those different colors are from a single branch. It's my favorite fall tree/shrub.
DeleteThank you anon for asking and thanks Teresa for the answer! I was wondering the same thing. I do believe I'll be looking for them at our nursery... not sure how well they grow in OK but I'll find out! Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Solar plane mirrors
Redirected from Plane mirrors

Next: Solar concentrators that concentrate light from above |
Design Compendium |
Solar panel cookers |
Plane mirrors were also in vogue in solar cooking but it was Adams who, in 1870, built a cooker at Bombay using plane mirrors (Bowman, Blatt 1978). He was able to cook food for several soldiers. The cooker consisted of sixteen flat mirrors strips arranged to form a cone around a flat black surface meant for the cooking vessel. Further, it was covered with a glass dome with a wooden handle. Such a design was available till recently in the market. The cooker very similar to this, called 'Solar chef' was marketed by Sedona Solar Shop, (PO 3072, West Sedona, Arizona 86340, USA.) Professor Bowman found the performance of the cooker satisfactory. He suggested some improvements like fixing the mirror assembly on to a stand such that it could be oriented to the sun, increasing the number and size of the assembly as well as the central dome to accommodate bigger cooking vessels. Insulating the flat plate at the bottom was also suggested. This variation gave good results. Farber (1975) describes a similar design where the mirror cone is comparatively larger .The Chinese designers (Fang, Susan 1979) have another interesting variation. Here, the 15-20 cm wide and 25-30 cm flat long mirror strips were arranged in a row of 14-16 pieces. Two such rows of mirrors were hinged at the center. These mirrors focused the rays on to a cooking pan held on top of the grill projecting from the center of the hinged panels. There must have been some mechanism to tilt the mirrors, but the details were not available.
Bowman created a new design called FIT design which was an offshoot of his studies on cookers especially Compound Parabolic type of cooker. He felt that flat-mirror assemblies were the best for villagers. The cooker consisted of a solid frame to hold an insulated box with a door to house the cooking vessels. The box did not have insulation at the bottom but a sheet of weld – mesh. Light was focused by 15 strips of mirrors held in a row at the base of this stand. Provision was made to tilt the mirrors to aid in focus and this was affected with one single lever, and the frame could also be rotated to face the sun.
For domestic use Bowman suggests a mirror assembly of about 19 mirrors with a length of 120 cm held at an angle of 100 to the horizontal (Bowman, Blatt 1978). FIT Concept 3 had a mirror assembly of 3 m and it could melt even lead (MP 327.50 C). The FIT concepts described were excellent performers and with some more adaptations like folding the reflector for easier transportation and storing, mounting the entire assembly on bigger wheels for easy mobility, and orientation would have made these cookers very popular. Interestingly, such a cooker was fabricated here at the Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), Manipal, under a student project, but the cooker did not perform well. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi, suggests the use of such a row of mirrors to be kept outside the house and to concentrate the rays on to the vessel kept inside the house. Concept III proposed here by the author envisages the use of two rows of mirrors as in the Chinese design and the entire assembly kept at the window. However, depending on the location and orientation of the house, it may be essential to shift the cooker from one window to another, in which case the design has to incorporate features which would enable easy mobility.
Concept IV proposed in this review is a variation of Bowman's design. In this variation, the use of a larger window covered with glass is suggested at the base of the insulated cooking box such that a larger reflector array could be incorporated without increasing the height of the stand, but if a 3 or 4 m long array is to be incorporated for faster cooking then the height of the stand has to be increase. In such a case, three or four steps may be added to the stand for easy access to the cooking vessels inside the insulated box.
Professor Bernard's 'NELPA' cooker appears to be slight variation from Professor Bowmans design, but evidently an independent design of this type.
The photo presented below was sent by Professor Bernard, note that the cooker has provision for two pots. (This reviewer has added a couple sketches so as to enable the reader to build a Nelpa. He thanks Editions-Silence.fr, publishers from France for permission to use these drawings. The picture does not show the NELPA but the enhanced version Primrose with a greenhouse compartment underneath the pot and 9 instead of 3 mirrors to form a more narrow light bar to obtain a better concentration of the solar radiation. The bi-lingual plans and instruction manual in French and German language can be ordered from mueller-solartechnik.com.
Professor Bernard's 'NELPA' cooker, though author finds the design very close to that of Professor Bowman's FIT design presented above he feel 'NELPA' has been designed independently. For some reason Professor Bowman's designs had not become popular.'NELPA' when folded forms a neat little 'packet'.
Roger Bernard's first prototype of the solar cooker "Primrose", a more sophisticated model of the "Nelpa". (http://www.mueller-solartechnik.com)
Xavier Devos of France has presented a new type of solar cooker, close to a solar barbecue. It is different from Roger Bernard's Nelpa, since the concentrator below the table focus the solar rays in two directions. The concentrator is large and made of little plane mirrors. This solar cooker is as concentrative as a parabolic cooker and allows to grill and fry. The two photos furnish the design details and effectiveness of the setup. For more information, look at the web site of ATOUTS SOLEIL.([mail to:email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com]) (http://tablesol.free.fr/)
Alexander Safronov of Germany has proposed an innovative design called as Romaschka Cooker. The cooking vessel is incorporated in the table. A Flat reflector of about one meter long reflects the sun light into the cooker box. Two additional strips of reflectors augment sun light. The setup appears to be quite effective as the designer has been able to grill meat.(http://www.solarcooking.org/Romaschka.htm)
Professor Ajay Chandak, working at Dhule, is a versatile inventor and the founder president of an NGO at Dhule. The organization is called as PRINCE (Promoters and Researchers in Non-Conventional Energy, http://www.princeindia.org) I Author strongly urge the reader to visit his excellent site.
Professor Ajay has developed Hybrid Solar Cooker, which reviewer has classified as an independent Design under new category of mixed types. It is similar to Professor Bowman's FIT Design, but different and one step ahead it, or for that matter Professor Bernard's Nelpa. Ajay writes that the performance is as good as or even better than that of Parabolic cooker. The temperature developed was so high that they had problem with the Glazing used at the bottom of the box. Further technical details are awaited.
There could be slight confusion as to the classification. Because in the Box cooker section Deve's Inverted Cooker has been described. Ajay's cooker has been developed after this inverted cooker concept. The design is included here because it uses multiple plane mirror reflectors.
With the sun at an elevation of 59 degrees and the ambient temperature at 19 degrees Celsius, the Solar Fryerwill cook a pizza in about 30 minutes.
Carroll Hampelman of US has designed another new solar gadget, called 'Hamp Hi Tracker'. It is actually a Solar water heater, used by the inventor to pre heat water. But I find it to be a promising design as a cooker as well. The reflector array of mirrors can be kept out side the kitches, and all of them aiming at cooking vessel inside the kitchen. Carroll uses 28 mirrors, and all of them are linked to two 35 W motors which track the sun throughout the day. Carroll has not published any data as to amount of water heated.
Independent inventors and workers have problem or are not so keen writhing a technical paper, and naturally they remain unknown for a long time. It is with this wish to list all such workers this review has been evolved. This review enables an inventor to add his work directly to this site.
If an agency decides to sponsor the work of the reviewer, he wishes to test each and every such solar cooker especially designed by 'non technical' workers, and maintain a detailed database along with this site.
The Mirror Array Cooker project was started in the summer of 2004. The idea is very simple, several small mirrors reflecting the sunlight for the same focal point. I resolved to make a small prototype of only 100 mirrors of 5 x 5 cm each, thus would have a final mosaic of 0.5 x 0.5 m, and be light and portable.
Cracking mirrors
Plane glass mirrors, silvered on the back, are liable to crack if exposed to prolonged direct sunlight. The light passes through the glass twice as it is reflected, which heats a mirror more than a simple glass window through which light passes only once. The present writer, David Williams, has tried using bathroom-type mirrors, about 50x50 cm, in heliostats, and has had them crack several times. Usually, the crack starts from a small chip, drilled hole, or tiny crack, then spreads across the mirror until it breaks apart.
I would make the following suggestions:
- Make sure that your mirror has no chips or cracks. Don't drill any mounting holes in it.
- Use several small mirrors instead of one large one. Small mirrors develop smaller stresses, and are cheaper to replace if necessary.
- Use mirrors with glass that is as thin as possible. Thin glass heats up less than thick glass.
- If possible, use a mirror made of borosilicate glass ("Pyrex"), acrylic plastic ("Perspex" or "Plexiglass"), or metal, instead of window glass. These materials have some disadvantages, but are much less likely to crack.
- If possible, use curved, e.g. parabolic, mirrors instead of plane ones. Curved mirrors can flex, taking up thermal expansion without developing large stresses.
- Try to arrange that nothing casts a shadow onto your mirror at any time of day. If part of the mirror is in sunlight and part in shadow, large differences in temperature are produced, often causing cracking.

Grand theft, drugs, illegal weapons among 10 arrests
At least 10 arrests ranging from illegal guns to a series of cocaine busts and even a grand theft involving fishing gear and drugs kept the Mono County Sheriff's Department busy over last week and during Fishing Opener weekend.
Five more arrests on warrant charges brought the list of arrests to 15.
The Mammoth Lakes Police Department would like to caution motorists to be extra alert for migrating deer on U.S.395 and S.R. 203. Large numbers of deer are on the move at this time of year and they pose a real threat to motorists. Serious injuries or death can occur if you strike a deer at highway speeds. Evidence of multiple vehicle versus deer encounters is visible while traveling on 395.
Airport Layout Plan under scrutiny
Mammoth Yosemite Airport will have a "conditionally approved" airport layout plan by this summer, the town announced this past month in a news release.
An 'unusual' number of embezzlements of public money recently, DA says

Mussell could destroy Owens watershed
A notorious invasive species called the New Zealand mussel could destroy the Owens River watershed if it gets too numerous, and therefore agencies like the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power are using boat inspections again this year to stop the spread of the pesky critters.
All Mono County Transfer Stations will have new hours beginning Wednesday, May 1.
In recent years, these facilities have operated different hours during winter and summer seasons. Because this has created confusion among users as well as operational inefficiencies, it has been decided to eliminate the seasonal schedule and to establish consistent, year-round operating hours that provide the greatest benefit to the greatest number of users without reducing actual operating hours.
The new year- round hours are as follows:
Air temperatures will be warm in Mammoth and the Eastern Sierra this weekend, with highs ranging from the 70s at Lake Tahoe to the 80s in western Nevada valleys, according to the National Weather Service in Reno.
Dry winter, early spring set up fishing season for success
This year's Fishing Opening Weekend looks to be one of the best in many years, after a dry winter and warm and early spring have allowed access to more lakes and streams than usual, experts said this past week.
A complete list of open area lakes, campgrounds, and road conditions
Mammoth Lakes area: New Shady Rest and Old Shady Rest campgrounds open.
Plowing began last week; Opening Day deadline set for some roads
High temperatures combined with a light snowpack will allow for an early start to plowing area roads this spring, according to the U.S. Forest Service, Inyo National Forest.

Spring forecast not so hot; summer numbers iffy
Despite an early Easter that presented somewhat of a roadblock, Mammoth's ski season effectively ended on a robust note, according to figures released last week by Mammoth Lakes Tourism.
The tourism numbers from Mammoth were better, overall, than destinations in the mountain west.
Caltrans has announced that it plans on opening the Sonora Pass Highway 108 today, April 24. Long-time locals, according to a Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest press release, recall only one earlier opening date in recent historyŌĆöApril 20, year unknown.
Initial supplies of firewood can be found at Antelope, Smoke, Dry Creek, Hartley, Oh Ridge and Reversed Peak Forest Management Areas located on the fuelwood map, according to an Inyo National Forest press release.

Cingrani gets the call as Reds host Haren, Dodgers
Cincinnati hoping to carry over recent offense against tough L.A. staff
In a span of two weeks, the Reds have faced Adam Wainwright, Hyun-Jin-Ryu, Zack Greinke, Clayton Kershaw, Madison Bumgarner and Cole Hamels.
That's a daunting list of dominant starting pitchers, and a Cincinnati offense that has struggled throughout much of the season will continue to see more of the same when the Dodgers visit Great American Ball Park for a four-game series beginning Monday night.
With Josh Beckett, Ryu and Greinke on tap, the relatively good news for the Reds is that Dan Haren is scheduled to take the hill against them in the series opener. Haren has been good this season, but after a superb start in which he posted a 2.03 ERA in March and April, the right-hander had a 4.30 ERA in May before giving up four runs over six innings in a loss to the White Sox in his first June start. He's lost three consecutive decisions.
After his last outing on Tuesday, Haren regretted not being able to carry momentum from the previous game's win into his start, falling behind right off the bat.
"We won a game [last Monday] getting those couple of errors, and you like to maintain some type of momentum, which we just haven't really done," he said. "Giving up two runs in the first inning is an easy way to kill the vibe."
Haren, who is 3-3 with a 4.95 ERA in his career against Cincinnati, would like to change the vibe for the Dodgers, who had lost seven of 10 games going into Sunday's series finale against the Rockies. The Reds meanwhile, are trying to build some consistency after having won four straight, lost three straight, and winning again on Saturday and Sunday.
One constant for Cincinnati through the ups and downs of their 2014 campaign has been defense, as displayed when the Reds cut down two Phillies' runners at the plate in their 6-5 win Saturday.
"They're not small details. They're extremely significant details," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "And those are the things for a team that plays a lot of one-run games are decisions and plays that have to be made for us to be the type of team that we think we are. [Saturday], getting that perfect relay twice really substantiated what we're trying to do."
Cincinnati is scheduled to send left-hander Tony Cingrani to the mound on Monday night. Cingrani, who is trying to stay in the Reds' rotation once Mat Latos (right elbow/left knee) is activated from the DL, was good through the first five innings of his last outing on Wednesday against the Giants, but gave up three runs with two outs and nobody on in the sixth, leading to a 3-2 loss.
The southpaw will look to get back on track against a team that he shut out for seven innings in his first career start against them on July 28 of last season.
Dodgers: Puig, Gordon dealing with hip injuries
Both right fielder Yasiel Puig and second baseman Dee Gordon, each a key cog in Los Angeles' lineup, had to leave Saturday's game against the Rockies with hip issues. Puig had a hip flexor strain, while Gordon had to exit with discomfort in his right hip.
"I felt a stretch in the leg," Puig said, motioning toward the left side of his lower abdomen. "I got treatment and hope it's not a big issue. I didn't want to come out, but medical said if I didn't come out, it could get worse."
Puig and Gordon are both day to day, with Gordon saying after Saturday's game that the discomfort wasn't serious. Neither was in the lineup in the club's 6-1 win in the series finale with the Rockies on Sunday.
Reds: Hamilton's elbow tested, feels good
Center fielder Billy Hamilton missed last Sunday's game with a sore elbow after making a throw from the warning track to third base in Arizona the day before. On Saturday against the Phillies, Hamilton started two relays that resulted in outs at home plate.
"That long throw was another good test of my elbow. It feels really good," Hamilton said before Sunday's series finale. "It was two big plays. I'm still excited about it today. We got a 'W.'"
Worth Noting
• Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips, right fielder Ryan Ludwick and shortstop Zack Cozart each have a pair of home runs in their careers against Haren. Phillips is 6-for-18 (.333) with five RBIs against the right-hander, Ludwick is 5-for-9 (.556) with four RBIs, and Cozart is 3-for-5 with four RBIs.
• The Dodgers, who went into Sunday's game against the Rockies batting .253 as a team on the season, were hitting .224 over their previous 12 games.

Posts: 1 I was always intrigued by the line from the song "Ya Got Trouble" from the musical "The Music Man" that went like this: "Well the next thing you know your son is playing for money in a pinchback suit..."
I always assumed that was "pinchback" connoted a style of tailoring, perhaps with pleats on the back of the jacket. Maybe the word, however, was actually "pinchbeck," as in a fabric that was some sort of counterfeit of a more expensive fabric.

Loc: Vermont looking up both pinchback and pinchbeck, it seems to me the word in the song would/should be pinchbEck:
adjective - appearing valuable, but actually cheap or tawdry.
though perhaps it's not.

Loc: this too shall pass hence my "six to nothin'" notation; to wit, try googling "for money in a pinchback suit" (or pinch back / pinch-back) vs. the alternative. the "s are important.
of course, everyone could have it wrong.

Loc: Tasmania Pinchbeck is a metal alloy. It is used for things like photo frames. Its main use was in the 19th century for the preserver matts and frames around daguerreotypes and ambrotypes. When used in this context in America it is called Preserver. Pinchbeck is its British name.
Here is an example of a Pinchbeck preserver frame from my daguerreotype collection:
