not Model Car Purgatory..I got a '29 Ford pickup there...
Posted 17 February 2013 - 11:02 AM
Nooooo ! I've owned two 60's over the years and I've always wanted to build a model of one of them , so this is kind of special to me . I will definetly finish it in maybe a month or so .
Posted 19 February 2013 - 03:00 AM
Looking good! I am doing one of these right now myself - or attempting to do it. *sighs* Mine is a real mess but it is slowly coming along. I have parts on order from The Modelhaus and have already received some materials for the build, but I am having a heck of a time getting the paint - or what ever it is that someone put on the little car - off. It's coming along though.
i wanted to ask you if you are using a R/M '60 Impala hood on yours and if so, how was the fit once you cut your original hood out? My hood and cowl cover are cracked and I had figured on using an Impala hod to replace my broken one.
Posted 19 February 2013 - 04:11 AM
Just out of curiosity what did you order from Modelhaus ? I didn't know they had any parts for this .
I guess I should explain that this isn't a resin kit , I mated the top from the AMT '59 El Camino to a Revell '60 Impala . It actually worked pretty good . I spent a lot of time filling and sanding to make the tailgate and taillight panel correct .
Here's a few photos .

thats awesome!
Posted 20 February 2013 - 06:31 AM
Sorry to take so long to respond but my life gets pretty complicated some days and the last few are no exception. My El Camino is an old styrene annual that has seen too many paint hobs and just fell into the wrong hands real early in it's life. I am still trying to get the paint off of it but the process is nearly completed. It needs a ton of work to be anything even close to decent but then to me, that's the fun of this hobby. I enjoy bringing something back to life - not just plastic models but real life 1:1 things including vehicles. I love old things and while I have other projects sitting waiting and half finished, this El Camino was too much to resist.
The Modelhause has about everything that you could want in pieces for these cars, right down to the tail lights. Ii ordered grille, bumpers, front splash pan, and a dash board as mine was incomplete and missing these parts plus the glass, axles, wheels and tires. The photo etch detail set arrived last week and is sitting in a drawer awaiting being used.
It's likely that I'll use a '59 El Camino chassis rather than the original but that depends on how it looks once the paint is all off of it. If it looks pretty tacky, I'll just put it back together in it's original configuration and detail it as best I can. I have another original built up that I have had for a few years now and it is in MUCH better condition than this one, so maybe I'll really put my efforts into that one. If I do the blending of the three kits ( the original, an AMT '59 El Camino and a R?M '60 Impala, then I will do a couple of other things to make the model more unique yet still as close to a factory stock vehicle as I can make it.
Your work is an inspiration and while the '59 Chevy is by far my preference over any other car, I like this kit simply because it still retains somewhat of a resemblance to the '59, plus you just do not see them often - especially in stock form. I am a bit unsure of what colour I will paint it but I am leaning towards turquoise with a white roof to burgundy or white. I have a long ways to go yet before I am ready for paint and I have a fair bit of time to make my choice. I hope that you keep updating with progress pictures as I for one, would really enjoy seeing them. Your workmanship appears to be pretty impressive and this build shows a lot of promise. Hang in there and keep on with the project. By the way - what colour do you have in mind for yours?
Posted 20 February 2013 - 08:26 AM
No problem Gary , I'm just getting back here too !
To answer your question about the hood , I'll use what parts I have and let you decide . The Revell Impala body is about 1/16" wider than the AMT bodies , but the hood is about 1/16" narrower ! It actually fits the AMT body pretty good , a little sanding along the cowl and add a strip to both sides and it would fit perfect ! It should work for you just fine .
I'm sending you a PM . Good luck on you project !
Posted 20 February 2013 - 08:43 AM
I've made a little progress the last couple of days .
I 've got the interior pieces fitted and fabricated a hood hinge . I also painted the tires , they are really nice ! Thank you Joseph at Fireball Modelworks .
I need to clean up the center caps on the wheels , got a little bit too much paint on them !
Posted 20 February 2013 - 04:56 PM
Some seriously nice work here!!!
Posted 21 February 2013 - 02:57 AM
Thanks Derick and thank you Bill !
Posted 22 February 2013 - 07:51 AM
Love the cragars!
Posted 22 February 2013 - 09:29 AM
Thanks Dave , so do I !
I've about finished the mods on the chassis and made up a new fuel tank using the one I cut from the AMT kit . Everything seems to fit okay , I'll add some tank straps after paint .
I also narrowed the track simply by opening up the backing plates and sliding them in on the axle ( I'll cut the ends off later ) . This narrowed it by 3/16" total !
Posted 25 February 2013 - 02:43 PM
I managed to get the chassis painted over the weekend . I'm thinking about adding a little weathering and dirt to it . What do you think ?
Posted 25 February 2013 - 03:06 PM
Rubber lined hose clamps ! You're killing the details...hahahaha
Great update pics Bob..thanks
On a side note..I saw two 60 El Caminos at a show and the vendor
wanted 30 bucks for each..like Wow..he wouldn't budge on the price.
Posted 25 February 2013 - 03:35 PM
James, you didn't add the fact that there was a good five coats of Green enamel brushed onto one of those so called Meusuiem pieces that guy had too !

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
This brooch reflects the complexities of life on Rome's northern frontier, where native Celtic and classical cultures converged. Its curving animal heads and bright enamelling are typical of Celtic art in northern Britain, yet it dates to a time after the invasion of the country by the Roman emperor Claudius in A.D. 43.
Some 250 of these brooches have been found, mostly in the frontier area. But a few were scattered across the Empire, perhaps the property of troops who had served in Britain or souvenirs of visits to the northern frontier. This one, unearthed around 1840 with a hoard of metalwork, comes from a peat bog about 50 miles north of Hadrian's Wall in what is now Scotland. Unfortunately, much of the hoard was lost soon after its discovery. The surviving pieces include a matching pair of safety-pin brooches, two finger rings, and a torque (neck ornament)--probably a jewelry set--and a large number of bronze vessels, both Roman and Celtic in origin. The hoard's deliberate burial in a bog suggests that it was a votive offering, likely made by a local leader. The mixing of artifacts in the hoard and styles on the brooch show how Celts were adapting to the new world of Rome in the frontier areas.

Ty from Shangai in China asks…
Thanks for what you've written and starting the Stronglifts website and community. It's seems like the only 'legit' place for real hard working lifters and less phonies.
My question is: the smallest plates my gym has are 2.5 Kilos; which means when I go up in 5×5, I'm going up by 5 Kilos. This causes me to easily stall on exercises like Bench, Press, and Rows. It seems like every day I'm hitting a plateau that I can't break through.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot. Ty
You will indeed not be able to sustain increases of 5kg/10lb per workout on the Bench, Press, and Row. The reason is that these exercises use smaller muscles compared to the Squat and Deadlifts. As a result, you'll plateau sooner and will have to deload more than the guy who has access to 2,5kg/1.25lb plates. This means that your strength and muscle gains will be a lot slower.
Note that the smaller you are, and I'm going to assume you are since you're Asian like my girlfriend, the more important small plates become. A guy weighing +275lb will always be able to progress more easily with 5kg/10lb increments than the guys weighing only 175lb like me (sue me I'm only 5'8″) because the former has bigger muscles and better leverages.
Ironically, the weaker your lifts are, the more often you'll plateau with 5kg/10lb increments. As an example, for a 500lb Squatter, adding 5lb is only a 1% increment. But for a 200lb Squatter that same 5lb is 2,5%. Worse, for the guy Pressing 100lb, that 5lb is a 5% jump while 10lb is a whopping 10%. That's why you'll keep plateauing if you don't have small plates.
So the obvious solution is to get yourself a set of fractional plates which you carry in your gym bag and use when needed. I have a set of fractional plates from Iron Woody: 8 plates with 2″ holes with weights ranging from 1/4lb to 1lb. This means that I can use increments as low as 0,5lb/0,22kg per workout, which is invaluable when coaching someone who's plateauing on the Press or Bench.
Cheapskates solution for people who have too much time on their hands include gluing 2 washers together or using a pair of chains. I may be frugal, but I don't have time for that. So I just got myself a set of fractional plates by Iron Woody, and that's what every smart guy will do. These plates come with a full 1 year warranty by the way, so this is quality equipment even though it's cheap.
Click here to try Iron Woody's Fractional Plates risk-free for 30 days.
Yes risk-free because Iron Woody's fractional plates come with a 30 day full money back guarantee. This means that if you've not broken your plateaus on the Press and Bench after switching from 5lb increments to 2,5lb jumps, then you contact Jeff at Iron Woody and ask for a 100% full refund.
Full disclosure: I'm an affiliate for Iron Woody so I will get a commission for each sale through my link. And I have no problems with that at all because I use their fractional plates all the time, and because I think that if you're serious about gaining strength and muscle, you really need a set of fractional plates.
Iron Woody also offers metric plates of 0,25-1kg by the way, and they will ship their equipment all over the world (like to Belgium in my case) without charging outrageous shipping costs. For a set of metric fractional plates, click here.
Once you've received your set of fractional plates, switch from 5kg/10lb jumps to 2,5kg/5lb increments on all your lifts. And when you start plateauing on the Press/Bench/Row, switch to 1kg/2lb jumps for these lifts. This will allow you to progress longer on StrongLifts 5×5 without having to deload all the time.
P.S. Don't get caught up with price per pound. Fractional plates will always be more expensive per pound than regular gym plates because it costs more to manufacture stuff at a tighter weight tolerance. This is what you're paying for.

Samsung Note 3 Offers Bigger Screen, Smaller Footprint, Updated S Pen
Article Comments 13
Sep 4, 2013, 12:30 PM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
Samsung today announced the Galaxy Note 3, its third-generation phablet with S Pen stylus. The Note 3 increases the screen from last year's 5.5-inch display to 5.7 inches. It also improves the resolution from 1280 x 800 to 1920 x 1080 full HD. Despite the larger screen, the Note 3 is 1mm narrower and 1mm thinner than the Note 2, and also weighs significantly less thanks to the use of polycarbonate in the frame. Samsung also refreshed the design language, giving the Note 3 a faux leather texture to the back cover rather than the glossy plastics of the Note and Note 2. The Note 3 will come in two variants, an LTE version with a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, and an HSPA+ version with 1.9GHz eight-core Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor. Both will include 3GB of RAM. The Note 3's camera has been improved to 13 megapixels, and the user-facing camera rates 2 megapixels. Both can record 1080p HD video and carry over all the camera features Samsung first debuted with the Galaxy S4 earlier this year. Other specs include a removable 3,200mAh battery; 32/64GB of storage with support for microSD cards up to 64GB; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0LE, GPS, and GLONASS radios; and infrared for controlling TVs, MHL for connecting to TVs, and USB 3.0. The Note runs Android 4.3 as well as Samsung's TouchWiz user interface. Most of the software is carried over from the Galaxy S4, but Samsung made a number of improvements to the S Pen stylus and its accompanying software. A new Air Command tool brings the S Pen functions front and center, and they let users take instant screen shots, create actionable memos, search through handwritten notes, create searchable scrapbooks, and of course scribble simple notes. Last the Note 3 includes improved multitasking with Pen apps. The Pen apps resemble LG's QSlide apps, and place a small app such as a calculator, web browser, or YouTube window on top of any other app. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3.0 will by sold in the U.S. by AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Verizon Wireless. Pricing and availability was not announced.

Crafted by John & Alexander Manson since 1797, this selection of Non Chill-Filtered Glen Garioch illustrates the distinct house character- honey sweetness, hints of heather and just a touch of spice.
The launch of the Founder's Reserve celebrates the distillery's long standing tradition of craftsmanship to produce the finest Highland single malts - taking the skills and experience cultured over the last 200 years to produce an outstanding whisky.
Nose - Sweet vanilla and butterscotch show the influence of North American Oak with fruitier green apple and grapefruit coming through at the rear.
Palate - At first the palate is sweet with hints of buttercream and vanilla. As this begins to ebb, the fruitiness of the green apple skin and citrus cleanliness leaves the palate refreshed
Customer Reviews
- Great Value - Review by Andy
- SUMMARY - Review by whisky apprentice - Newlyn, Cornwall
Nose;-Vegetal start, orange zest, tangerine, lime flowery.
Palate;-Tangy orange, honeyed, gingercake.
Finish;-More concentrated orange, spice.

DPRK-targeted Joint War Exercises under Fire in S. Korea
| Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- Many civic and social organizations in the area of Pusan held a press conference in front of the naval base in Pusan on July 11 in protest against the war exercises for aggression scheduled to stage with U.S. imperialist aggressor forces, according to Thongil News, an internet paper of south Korea.
At the press conference, the organizations accused the warmongers of the U.S., south Korea and Japan of being going to stage joint naval maneuvers in south Korea with aircraft carrier George Washington involved at a time when Tokyo is showing its increased moves to allow its exercise of the "right to collective self-defense".
This is an act of threatening peace on the Korean peninsula, they charged.
They urged the U.S. to stop at once the moves to escalate the tension through their military drills against the north.
They held that the south Korean authorities should stop the joint military drills with the U.S. and Japan and opt for dialogue and cooperation with the north.

Watercolor Journaling
Flicker Group Pool
These days it seems that everyone has some kind of online journal or blog. For nearly 15 years, amateur and professional artists Gay Kraeger and Christina Lopp have been teaching how to create a journal of your own, but on paper with drawings in pen and watercolors. They have been introducing students to the basics of drawing & watercoloring in a format that is well-suited for personal journals.
As the world gets more immediate, more online and easy to delete, the journal is a low tech, highly tactile method of capturing aspects of your world. A variation on the written journal is an illustrated journal -- adding the richness of hand drawn images to words.
Learn non-threatening, easy-going techniques that cover the basics of drawing, writing, watercoloring and journaling.
Pay attention to your world and see -- then draw -- things that are important to you. Anything might strike your fancy – a child's soccer game, the first tomato of the season, or images from vacations. Life won't be boring again.
Take a look at our Online Classes page.
After more than three years of work, Gay and Christina, along with their producer/director/editor Jerome Domurat, have completed and released their first instructional DVD Beginning Watercolor Journaling. Take a look here for more information about the disc.

Did anyone attend this at the HOF tonight (Thurs)?
How was it?
What sort of questions were asked?
Did anyone attend this at the HOF tonight (Thurs)?
How was it?
What sort of questions were asked?
well i read the Narron has got support from the owners.. arggg... that didnt make me get excited about next year. same oh same oh in 2007
I was there along with about 60-70 other HOF members and press, a nice event that mostly drew older members. Here were the highlights...
1) Bob Castellini did not outwardly support Jerry Narron. A question/speech was thrown out pleading for Lou Piniella to come back, and nobody on stage responded. Later, Krivsky aggressively defended Narron's style of leadership by saying that fans shouldn't be fooled by Narron's public personna and that he does make players accontable. He cited spring training (I'm assuming Hancock) as an example.
2) RedsFest was a big topic. It sounds like it's going to be big, but it also sounds like it's going to be aimed at the 20-30 crowd just as everything is with concerts and the continued absence of a season ticket holder's night that many of us missed recently. I think Mr. Castellini was surprised to hear that many of the attendees would rather see photo op's than autograph lines.
3) It sounds as if the Reds are reforming a "Speakers Bureau" to serve as a PR branch of the team like Gordy Coleman did when I was a kid. I unofficially heard that "Mr. Perfect", Tom Browning is in line for the job.
4) Mr. Castellini made no promises on the next announcer being a former player, but said it would be an analyst position. This crowd was older, so they all wanted Joe back.
5) Mr. Williams talked about the challenges of getting players into the community considering that no players currently reside in the area between October-March like in days past.
6) The Reds have hired a Far East expert formerly with the Dodgers and have budgeted for expanded presence in that area.
7) The Reds are in queue for an All Star Game, but have to wait until teams with new stadiums in the NL who have never had games or haven't had games in many years (STL) get their turn. Mr. Castellin privately told someone after the presentation that he has never asked Bud Selig about the rumors that the Reds will not receive an AS game while Bud is commish due to the response he would likely get from Cincinnati fans.
Here's the Enquirer's write-up.
Narron gets bosses' backing
Reds' brass give thoughts, take suggestions at forum
Bob Castellini, who fancies himself as a fans' owner, met with his people Thursday night.
Reds CEO Castellini, general manager Wayne Krivsky and chairman Joe Williams had a town hall-type meeting at the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum.
Castellini got a lot of suggestions from the fans, and most of them will be looked at. He'll see about having an organist at Great American Ball Park full-time and about having a Redsfest session for season-ticket holders. He'll work on bringing the speakers' bureau back, and he'll even think about having a charity event in which fans could toss with players.
But when a fan suggested Lou Piniella replace Jerry Narron as manager, everyone at the head table was quiet.
When pressed a bit later, Castellini said: "The most maligned Reds manager in my lifetime is in the Hall of Fame - Sparky Anderson. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. We care that you care."
Krivsky gave Narron a strong endorsement.
"I can vouch for Jerry Narron being very sharp, very respected. He can fool you with his quiet demeanor. He can lay down the law when he needs to. I've seen it."
Here are some of the night's other highlights:
Castellini on whether the outfield walls at Great American will be moved back: "No."
Castellini on the new stadium for Sarasota, Fla.: "We've really worked hard to let the people in Sarasota know we want to stay there."
"We need a new ballpark desperately," Castellini added. "We're in the throes of making it happen. ..."
Krivsky on the Gary Majewski trade controversy with the Nationals: "It's something we're looking at. We try to keep a low profile. You can read between the lines that we're not real thrilled with how that went down. Ultimately, it will be in the hands of the commissioner."
Castellini on the return of Redsfest: "It's going to be the biggest and most well-attended Redsfest we've ever had."
Krivsky on the coaching staff: "We're evaluating that right now. It will ultimately be Jerry's call."
Castellini on getting an All-Star Game: "We've applied for it. When you get down to it, it's done by the commissioner, so it's a little subjective. The Cardinals just got a new stadium, and they haven't had an All-Star Game since the '60s. They're going to get one before we do. We're on the list; I'm hopeful for 2011. We press the point every time we get a chance."
Krivsky on the decision not to bring up Homer Bailey: "As an organization, we were divided. Some people thought he could really be the guy. Some others were absolutely adamant that he not come up. ... It comes down to doing the right thing for the player. It's his career. ... I thought the risk outweighed the reward."
Williams on the new ownership: "The important thing is to get back to the World Series. We're committed to it."
Castellini on the new radio voice: "Steve Stewart is such a fine person and a good broadcaster, but we felt like we needed an analyst in the booth. ... That's the direction we're heading."
Krivsky on the minor leagues: "Our system is in pretty good shape. I've got to compliment (farm director) Johnny Almaraz and his people. We had a winning record in the minors. We had two teams qualify for the postseason. We had three batting champions. ... You never have enough good players. The one thing I'm most proud of is we got through the year very healthy. In 2005, we had 44 arm surgeries, a lot of them major. This year, we had 14, without one being major. We're doing a lot of things right."

Reds owner has to answer to fans
By Kyle Nagel / Staff Writer
CINCINNATI The first question from the crowd was about the absence of a live organist at Cincinnati Reds baseball games.
"I've got a couple people here listening to this right now that know I'm going to ask them about it," said Reds Owner Bob Castellini to a chorus of laughter from the crowd.
Castellini, Chairman Joe Williams and General Manager Wayne Krivsky met with about 80 Reds fans on Thursday night for a question-and-answer session that produced a few such laughs, a few interesting suggestions and a few questions about how the Reds can change.
If nothing else, the night signaled that Castellini, who bought the team last winter, cares about his team's fans and what they think ... even if he doesn't agree the ballpark dimensions should change.
The Big Three
There was a table of finger foods and soft drinks. And, for those who might have paid closer attention to the Cincinnati Reds in the past month, a selection of adult-oriented beverages.
That was just part of the effort Thursday night to make Reds fans feel as though their thoughts are important. Invited to the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum, a group of about 80 mingled for a half-hour, shaking hands with Owner Bob Castellini, Chairman Joe Williams and General Manager Wayne Krivsky, before entering the theater for a scheduled question-and-answer session.
But the biggest questions weren't ones any of the three men could answer. That is, how would Reds fans treat their leadership? What do supporters want to know when their team takes a nose dive from the National League wild-card lead that no one seems to want?
Judging by the 21 questions lobbed at The Big Three, sitting at a table behind microphones, these fans respect Castellini, like hearing quips from Krivsky and ... well, they don't really know Williams.
The Big Three were asked about everything from the potential for a designated hitter in the National League to scouting Asian countries. There was one about the three catchers, and another about the outfield dimensions for one of the most home-run friendly parks in baseball.
And one comment that Lou Piniella should be the manager.
The name Jason LaRue was not mentioned. Nor was Eric Milton.
Those of us in the room left without any major change in knowledge about how the team is run, what it will look like next year and how ownership feels about losing 17 of the past 25 games.
We did hear a few interesting things. Among them:
Castellini wants to have the All-Star game in Cincinnati, potentially as soon as 2011.
Last season, there were 44 arm surgeries in the Reds minor-league system, according to Krivsky. This season, there were 14.
There was great internal debate this season about whether to promote Homer Bailey, the right-hander who ripped up Class AA.
Castellini's management style: "The best description of our management style is empowerment. We try to surround ourselves with the best people we possibly can, then let them run with it. I'm always available."
He was available Thursday night, and I'll tell you this: If I were a Reds fan, I would feel very good about Castellini being my owner. He's stern, smart and demands results.
And, he truly seems to care about people. After the questions finished, he stopped to acknowledge an attendee's birthday.
That was probably worth the celery sticks.

The simple facts are that koalas are rapidly disappearing from the Australian landscape...
There are estimated to be less than 100,000 koalas remaining in Australia, considerably less due to the recent disastrous Victorian bush fires and Queensland floods.
It is incumbent on us to protect those koalas and endangered species remaining not only for our growing tourism industry but for future generations. Currently, Koalas are predicted to become extinct in the wild by 2020.
Considering we are in the Sixth Mass Extinction of all species, it is imperative that we understand that human survival depends on biodiversity.

A mom writes "Help—my preschooler is terrified of BUGS!" Show Notes

Dear Dr. Bill — My son is 4 years old and he just started preschool. He's always been a little bit afraid of bugs, but recently he was bitten by something at school during snack time. Now he goes into complete hysterics anytime the class is supposed to be outside. Whenever he sees a flying bug, he screams, cries, and flings his arms around. What should I do?
Dear Nicole,
It sounds like your son has developed his own version of entomophobia, which is a fear of insects. It's tough to be four-years-old and to terrified of bugs!
His reaction seems fairly extreme, so I'm guessing he tends to be more on the anxious side. This may be an inborn temperament, which means he will be a child that will need extra re-assurance and comforting from you.
On the other hand, you don't want to baby him, but instead help him to conquer his fears.
Your son's panicked reaction stems from both his young age and his lack of understanding. Adults who suffer from phobias usually know that their fear is irrational. Children's fears, on the other hand, often stem from the fact that they don't have complete or accurate knowledge about the thing they are afraid of.
I suggest you make a fun project out of helping him overcome his fear. Go to the library together and check out some books on bugs. Help him learn their names and how they live. Start with the harmless looking bugs like lady bugs and caterpillars. You might even buy some plastic toy bugs for him to play with.
If the problem persists or seems to worsen, you may want to consult a child psychologist. But my guess is that this phase will pass and he will eventually learn that most bugs are harmless.
Who knows…your son may someday grow up to become a world-renowned professor of entomology!
Thanks for writing, Nicole. If you have a question for me about family issues or Christian living, click the "Questions" link on the Culture Connection page.

Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
Half a world away, I did the same thing last night, except my group was only 11. So today, I am also trying to make bread for the first time in my oven. Nothing as complex as your sour dough, doing French bread. They are in the final stage of raising then in the oven they go. My residual heat right now is 400-425 F and then planning on doing blacken salmon after that for dinner.
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
Please drop a subtle hint to your wife the Peanut Butter cookies are my favorite and you just might score some Caputo 00 pizza flour.
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
Hint taken-cookies are in the mail! Not like someone that we know, they got off Monday morning early on my way to work- via Kuronikku Takubin (UPS Japan).
No need for barter, you do more than I could ever repay in a lifetime. Thanks for all your assistance. How is the list coming for "scavenge items" when I am looking for antiques. The "Utsunomiya Shinyo-kinko 30 year special casting tea pot" seems to have taken up residency in my office. When I come across its' twin. I know where it will be traveling to. Also, any high quality old Japanese knives or farming grass hooks- like scythes or interesting old stuff has to come in pairs also--I'm dibsing the first one but if there are two, your name is on it! What is your taste in old pottery, tonsu chests, lanterns, and stuff like that? I have an eye on a property on the way to work.......have to speak to Numao about approaching the owner...if still alive. He has all the techniques down pat from 40 years of picking... sure loved looking at some of his stuff from the Edo period and Early Meiji period!
Do you have any interest in woven bamboo baskets--like those used for gathering mushrooms and stuff like that?
Really need a list--But thanks again for your help on the sourdough bread!
Forgot to tell you about the old coke or coal burning stoves that I saw over the week-end. My new acquaintance has two--but different styles, but they were used on trains for heat in the --maybe last car (furthest away from the steam locomotive)... Really are beautiful castings that still have a glow to their finish--not a spot of rust in sight! Argh right! Just seeing them makes a person appreciate good craftsmanship!
Back to Utah! I made a stupid comment some months back about once an oven is half finished or finished enough to burn wood......all the original incentive to build becomes lost because you can begin to appreciate what an oven can do!!! Mine has sat for 6 months in the same spot! The cracks in the insulation layer become larger--but the oven is crackles! Have to get around to finishing it -- But what is the incentive when on your day off you want to make pizza, bread, steak, fish, vegetables, cookies, snacks .......then you have no ambition to get your fingers dirty with another insulation layer, or plaster coat or even build the base!
Back to novel writing........
Have you gotten started on the copper yet?
I really think that you need to do everything twice. Galvanized .035 metal is dirt cheap! You could do a mock up in galva then when you have all the confidence built up to tackle copper--you will have confidence AND ability because of your experience with the galva.
We have a bumper crop of tomatoes, don't know the names but they are an oval shaped fruit tomato--just pop them in your mouth. We put ones slice in half on top of pizzas and they were great! We also have some large like (2" to 2 1/2" diameter) that are firm and tasty. Looks like a bumper crop of squash--every day there are more flowers that have succeeded in being germinated! The cucumbers look like logs, because we cannot keep up with picking or consuming them----even the neighbor is getting a little tired of cukes!
That's it from the far side of the world! The side that is dark when you are light--half ahead---SO, lets see some pictures of your FRENCH Bread!
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
I have to say my first attempt of bread making was not stellar. Actually a little shy in posting my first try at bread. Edible and such but just can't hold a candle to pics I have seen by pro bread makers on the forum. Will try again in a couple weeks when I have the neighborhood pizza party. I did cut out some blank galvanize sheets from an old scrounged duct work to start my self taught training session on metal forming. Just need to get with it. Seems everyone's garden is having bumper crops except me
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
Russell- don't be disappointed, my wife has baked bread for 40 years --first time was when we were first married and I wanted to show off that she could do as good as Mama! But Mama used short cuts for rolls like using frozen bread. My wife and I practiced many ---many times in making cressant rolls and when she had the technique down pat, we made them for Thanksgiving---that was maybe 1972..... It is funny how out of necessity to succeed, a great hobby is formed. The trouble is--in 1972, I was 5-11, 174#, a lot of muscle from running and being a USMarine. I blame my big belly on her good baking............But that is 41 years of baking and every time it gets better!
Sheetmetal should be available in 4x8 sheets USA, we have 3x6x.035 selling for about $4.00/sheet. If you have a brake, that is all you need besides a couple of good snips and those hand thing-a-ma-doos for bending sheetmetal by hand. You have chosed something that makes a professional with a lifetime of sheetmetal work either cringe or smile in delight. It all depends on the demeanor of the worker. If tough is a challenge---then a smile. if tough is a headache, then upside down smile for even a trained super craftsman. So Russell really take your time, learn the techniques, then do the best you can!!!!!!!!!!!it will be better than the best craftsmen out there because you are doing it with more incentive than most have---The incentive to do something that most persons call impossible!
As for the garden, my wife puts many hours each day into taking care of the plants that she grows. I think she spends way toooooooo much time with her hobby. You cannot find a weed anywhere, and the soil is turned over multiple times a week, if it needs it or not! The soil here is fertile, and black; she tests it continuously and adds whatever is necessary to meet the growing requirements of each plant!
We also have ample amounts of rain, sunny days and cool nights. All great growing conditions for just about anything! It is not the tropics but sometimes we have tropical weather. Hang in there!
Really I think you should work on a roof enclosure to cover your entire oven and preparation areas. If that was completed during these hot months, and your oven could be either moved or surrounded by this structure, then you could use a portable heater and shop lights to work on your oven----no matter the time of year or weather conditions.
I'm on my 4th evening tranquilizer so forgive the rambling. Keep the pictures coming!
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
Hi Mikku,
The cookies are fantastic, your wife is a much better baker than I. I had to skip lunch yesterday because of too many cookies and milk. No, to baskets. The wish list is difficult for me, I've spent the last 30 years trying not to want things that are not related to or enhance my creativity. I'm drawn to things that I feel the passion of the maker and their pride in the finished item.
I will think about it and if you see anything that you think has my name on it, get it for me, please.
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
Yesterday was the first day that my wife took care of the oven herself.
I started it and showed her the technique of kindling pile--start in transition--then push to rear once it starts to burn! works like a charm, I loaded it up once before leaving for work and instructed her to add 4 or 5 pieces of oak two more times, then let the fire burn down. Told her to put the insulated door on when the burn was complete. In the evening the internal temp was around 350C after 7 hours of sitting idle. 5:30 the next morning it sat at 260C, a temp she can begin to bake anything.
she made several batches of cookies, and some bread during the day. Everything turned out great---she has patience with baking only! No patience with me! some of her product got mailed out to friends, other got put into the freezer to retain freshness. Now when I want an evening snack, I have to chew on an frozen cookie!
Life if tough!

Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
When I first thought of a WFO, it was because people in the past baked that way! And always things from a long time ago--I remember as being superior in flavor--really something to remember.
My wife has baked great things for 42 years next month. As much an expert as there can be. But she saw this as another one of my stupid hobbies, like motorcycles, scuba diving, sports car restoration, collecting antiques which she calls junk, selling our home in the USA and moving to Japan--as an adventure--trying to keep from getting old!
But gradually she has seen how this stupid hobby of mine produces some good things--even if it has been "MY AMATEUR" attempts at doing things. Once she gets the hang of it---their might be a little harmony in the house. And once the oven gets onto a stand instead of being at ground level, things should improve.
Yep! It takes a lot of planning to coax her to try my toy oven! Now she is talking about it being indoors! That is on my list already!
If you need testimonials of the baking skills, just ask my neighbors near and far! Some of the goods get UPS'd to distant locations!
Re: Structural Slab for new WFO
now here is a question for people like Brickie of Oz and David S or Stonecutter or a multiple of experts out there. The ones listed above I have the utmost of respect for their opinions--also Lawrence! Forgot to mention you -- my every day mentor!
Now I have to think about this topic. The oven is cured, but it does not have a final render coat or anything to make the oven waterproof or water resistant--if there is a difference.
My oven heats up very quickly, but it looses heat equally quickly! If you have been following my thread, I have at least 4" of pericrete surrounding my entire dome.
The pericrete has cracked, so what--the castable has not! But where the cracks are, there are hot spots. Hot enough to make you pull your hand away because it is too hot! Other locations are cool, like around the insulated chimney.
I am thinking about adding a layer or two of ceramic fiber to the outside of my render, then apply chicken wire and another coat of render!
Anyone see any problem with this idea? As long as the oven is insulated, the location of the insulation in the assembly is irrelevant--- RIGHT? Please, please correct me if I am wrong! If I add two layers of 1" thickness ceramic fiber to the outside of my --now half complete render coat, it should help retain heat longer--even though it is not the closest insulation in the total assembly!
My other alternative is to simply give up on the dome type oven style, make a box...out of light weight steel studding materials, cover the box with metal or concrete board or anything ---fill the cavity with vermiculite loose fill , install a sloped roof---make sure everything is water proof and call it good!
I'm tossing a lot of ideas around in my mind---I am really thinking about making a modular barrel type--like Brickie has but in castable-- make it larger to accommodate more bread making--and try some other options! This hole topic makes my mind go wild--anything is possible but I do not want a whole bunch of half finished ovens around my house! Maybe sell the one that I have and make a modular barrel--much larger!
My mind keeps wandering to different possibilities. How about some feedback on what to do with my current cast oven
This is a tough question--my present oven is not expensive by any means! it is labor intensive in the mold making area--but other things are really very cheap!
Brickie --what do you think? you had an oven that you tore back and rebuilt, if you were in my situation what would you do? Sell what you have and start a new design OR improve on the current design?
Davids- you have a very long time experience with castable ovens--make them every month........instead of a dome, what do you think of a barrel type like our friend in Canada made?
laurentius, I already have your thoughts but you can add to them as you wish!
I have a few days off--like "3" before starting a new project! I have a little time to think about alternatives. So please give me your honest
That is it from this side of the planet--pray for peace during these crazy times in world politics!

Just before flying to Europe to show his new film, "Putty Hill," at festivals in Copenhagen and Lisbon, Matt Porterfield acknowledged that he's taken aback whenever fans find his movies about Baltimore's white working class "so sad." Porterfield draws vital energy from his characters.
"Their lives are so singular and surprising," he says. When reviewers or audiences point out how unusual Hamilton or Putty Hill are as movie settings, he thinks that speaks to the banality of other movies.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 14, 2014
Spring is peak allergy season all around the United States. While many people are relishing in the warm weather, blossoming trees and chance to run around barefoot in the grass, allergy sufferers are holed up inside as though they're battling a storm. This storm is not the variety of rain or snow, it's all the allergens that are blowing around in the air both outside and in the home.
Even the most immaculate homes have dust mites hiding out under the carpets, furniture and on the pets. While there's no way to eliminate the allergens that plague millions of people, there are ways in which to minimize the allergens so people who suffer from these microscopic organisms suffer less. Author of Optimal Living 360: Smart Decision Making for a Balanced Life, Dr. Sanjay Jain has shared five ways in which the average person can better rid their home of cough- and sneeze-inducing allergens:

O.k here's what I need help with. I'm debating on dropping Ted Lilly and picking up Troy Percival or Jason Isringhausen, both of whom are available as free agents in my league. If I do this I will have 3 solid closers and will be able to keep pace with other teams in my head to head league that have 3 closers. The other problem is that when the Unit comes off the DL in mid-June, I have to waive a player to make room for him. Who do I waive? I was going to waive Lilly to create the spot for the Unit, but if I pick up a closer, I'd have to waive one of my hitters.
Of my hitters, I'm really growing tired of Jose Cruz, Klesko, and Derrick Lee. All 3 seem to go into prolonged slumps and really hurt my team. I was thinking of doing a 2-1 trade with 2 of these 3 hitters to get a hitter back like Abreu or someone like that, who has a decent avg and some power. Who would you give up and who would you look to acquire in return. I could really use a hitter that has a .290+ average and drives in a lot of runs. Speed isn't really an issue in the hitter I get back as I have Dave Roberts to get all my SB's. Position doesn't really matter either as I will most likely use that player in my UTIL spot.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm really not sure what to do and my team is sinking fast while I wait for players like Green, Klesko, Lee, Ramirez and Cruz to pick up the pace and play more like they are capable of.

KID VID Reviews: Sharks, Recess Monkeys & More
The latest batch of kid vids and CDs landed in our inbox recently, so we called on our favorite guest blogger Trine Gallegos and her pint-sized children's entertainment expert, Sofia, age 6, to weigh in on the big questions: what's great and what's merely meh on the kiddie entertainment scene? Here's their Fab Six lowdown on sharks, moo juice and high octane lullabies :
1) Discovery Kids' "Kenny the Shark": This animated TV series on the Discovery Channel is about a sassy 8-foot tiger shark, who just happens to be 10-year-old Kat's family pet. There are lessons to be learned, of course, all served in a nice little package. With titles like "Goodbye, Ol' Chum," you know the shows are filled with some humor. My daughter, Sofia, watched this several times in row, and gave it a thumbs-up. (Kenny's antics are available on DVD, or check local listings for airtimes.)
2) Nickelodeon's "Sleepytime Stories": Take our word on this. Stick with your own lullabies. While the many episodes on this 149-minute(!) DVD are Nick's cute standard fare ("Dora," "Blue's Clues," "Wonder Pets," etc.), there is no way these are "sleepytime stories." Your child will be amped, not tired, after these.

While Microsoft prepared an appeal, Stac was able to obtain a preliminary injunction from the court stopping the sales of all MS-DOS products that included DoubleSpace; by this time Microsoft had already started shipping an "upgrade" of MS-DOS to its OEM customers that removed DoubleSpace. By the end of 1994, Microsoft and Stac settled all pending litigation by agreeing that Microsoft would make a $39.9 million investment in Stac Electronics, and additionally pay Stac about $43 million in royalties on their patents.
Stac then renamed itself to "Previo", and tried to reposition itself as a technology provider to helpdesk and support organizations. This effort was pursued while the dot-com bubble was bursting, and in 2002 the company finally threw in the towel. In an unusual move, rather than spend all its cash, the company sold off its technology (to Altiris) and returned its cash to its shareholders before dissolving.

Like many programming languages, Perl has mechanisms to use external libraries of code, allowing a single file to contain common routines used by several programs. Perl calls these modules. Perl modules are typically installed in one of several directories whose paths are placed in the Perl interpreter when it is first compiled; on Unix-like operating systems, common paths include /usr/lib/perl5, /usr/local/lib/perl5, and several of their subdirectories.
Perl comes with a small set of core modules. Some of these perform bootstrapping tasks, such as , which is used for building and installing other extension modules; others, like CGI.pm, are merely commonly-used. The authors of Perl don't expect this limited group to meet every need, however.
The CPAN's main purpose is to help programmers easily locate modules and programs not included in the Perl standard distribution. It is also used to distribute new versions of Perl, as well as related projects, such as Parrot.
The CPAN is an important resource for the professional Perl programmer. With over 12,000 modules (containing 20,000,000 lines of code) the CPAN can save programmers weeks of time, and large Perl programs often make use of dozens of modules. Some of them, such as the DBI family of modules used for interfacing with SQL databases, are nearly irreplaceable in their area of functionality; others, such as the module, are simply handy resources containing a few common functions.
In 2003 distributions started to include metadata files, called META.yml, indicating the distribution's name, version, dependencies, and other useful information; however, not all distributions contain metadata. When metadata is not present in a distribution, the PAUSE's software will usually try to analyze the code in the distribution to look for the same information; this is not necessarily very reliable. (See the Uploading Distributions with PAUSE section for more.)
With thousands of distributions, CPAN needs to be structured to be useful. Distributions on the CPAN are divided into 24 broad chapters based on their purpose, such as Internationalization and Locale; Archiving, Compression, And Conversion; and Mail and Usenet News. Distributions can also be browsed by author. Finally, the natural hierarchy of Perl module names (such as "Apache::DBI" or "Lingua::EN::Inflect") can sometimes be used to browse modules in the CPAN.
CPAN module distributions usually have names in the form of CGI-Application-3.1 (where the :: used in the module's name has been replaced with a dash, and the version number has been appended to the name), but this is only a convention; many prominent distributions break the convention, especially those that contain multiple modules. Security restrictions prevent a distribution from ever being replaced, so virtually all distribution names do include a version number.
The heart of CPAN is its worldwide network of more than 260 mirrors in more than 60 countries. CPAN's master site, ftp.funet.fi, has over 149 direct public mirrors. Each site contains up to the full 3.9 gigabytes of data, or a subset of it if the mirror's maintainer wishes to selectively choose.
Most mirrors update themselves hourly, daily or bidaily from the CPAN master site. Some sites are major FTP servers which mirror lots of other software, but others are simply servers owned by companies that use Perl heavily. There are at least two mirrors on every continent except Antarctica.
For more information on CPAN mirrors, see mirrors.cpan.org
Several search engines have been written to help Perl programmers sort through the CPAN. The most popular and official is search.cpan.org, which includes textual search, a browsable index of modules, and extracted copies of all distributions currently on the CPAN. The official cpan search module often provides a suboptimal experience, other more modern search engines that have arisen are:
CPAN Testers are a group of volunteers, who will download and test distributions as they are uploaded to CPAN. This enables the authors to have their modules tested on many platforms and environments that they would otherwise not have access to, thus helping to promote portability, as well as a degree of quality. Smoke testers send reports, which can are then collated and used for a variety of presentation websites, including the main reports site, statistics and dependencies.
A family of other loosely integrated support websites have been created as the CPAN has grown in size and scale. These are created and managed by individual Perl developers, and provide data feeds to each other in various ad-hoc ways.
There is also a Perl core module named CPAN; it's usually differentiated from the repository itself by calling it CPAN.pm. CPAN.pm is mainly an interactive shell which can be used to search for, download, and install distributions. An interactive shell called cpan is also provided in the Perl core, and is the usual way of running CPAN.pm. After a short configuration process and mirror selection, it uses tools available on the user's computer to automatically download, unpack, compile, test, and install modules. It is also capable of updating itself.
Recently, an effort to replace CPAN.pm with something cleaner and more modern has resulted in the CPANPLUS or CPAN++ set of modules. CPANPLUS more cleanly separates the back-end work of downloading, compiling, and installing modules from the interactive shell used to issue commands. It also supports several advanced features, such as cryptographic signature checking and test result reporting. Finally, CPANPLUS can uninstall a distribution. CPANPLUS is expected to replace CPAN.pm in the core distribution in Perl 5.10.
Both modules can check a distribution's dependencies and can be set to recursively install any prerequisites, either automatically or with individual user approval. Both support FTP and HTTP and can work through firewalls and proxies.
Authors can upload new distributions to the CPAN through the Perl Authors Upload Server ( PAUSE). To do so, they must request for a PAUSE account A list of requirements for registration can be found at the PAUSE faq
Registration is not immediate, and typically takes a week.
Once registered, the new PAUSE account has a directory in the CPAN under authors/id/(first letter)/(first two letters)/(author ID). They may use a web interface at pause.perl.org, or the PAUSE ftp server to upload files to their directory and delete them. PAUSE will warn an administrator if a user uploads a module that already exists, unless they are listed as a co-maintainer. This can be specified through PAUSE's web interface.
Experienced Perl programmers often comment that half of Perl's power is in the CPAN. Though the TeX typesetting language has an equivalent, the CTAN (and in fact the CPAN's name is based on the CTAN), few languages have an exhaustive central repository for libraries. The PHP language has PECL (PHP Extension Community Library) and PEAR (PHP Extension and Application Repository), and Python has a PyPI (Python Package Index) repository, but neither is as large nor as active as the CPAN. Other major languages, such as Java and C++, do not have anything similar to the CPAN (though for Java there is central Maven , and C/C++ has the Boost C++ Libraries).
The CPAN has grown so large and comprehensive over the years that many people learning Perl seem to elevate it to a sort of mythical status, and express surprise when they begin to encounter topics for which a CPAN module doesn't exist already.
The CPAN's influence on Perl's eclectic culture should not be underestimated either. As a hive of activity in the Perl world, the CPAN both shapes and is shaped by Perl culture. Its "self-appointed master librarian", Jarkko Hietaniemi, often takes part in the April Fools Day jokes so popular on the Internet; on 1 April 2002 the site was temporarily named to CJAN, where the "J" stood for "Java". In 2003, the www.cpan.org domain name was redirected to Matt's Script Archive, a site infamous in the Perl community for having badly-written code.
Beyond April Fools', however, some of the distributions on the CPAN are jokes in themselves. The Acme:: hierarchy is reserved for joke modules; for instance, Acme::Don't adds a
don't function that doesn't run the code given to it (to complement the
do built-in, which does). Even outside the Acme:: hierarchy, some modules are still written largely for amusement; one example is Lingua::Romana::Perligata, which can be used to write Perl programs in a subset of Latin.
Over the years, the CPAN has had a range of unusual non-Perl things uploaded to it.
The following are just a few examples.
In 2005, a group of Perl developers who also had an interest in JavaScript got together to create JSAN, the JavaScript Archive Network. The JSAN is a near-direct port of the CPAN infrastructure for use with the JavaScript language, which for most of its lifespan did not have a cohesive "community".

Snooki and JWOWW's Shocking Transformation: MTV Stars Without Cleavage!
While we usually see Snooki and JWOWW flaunting their bodacious bods, they took a classier approach during their trip to Los Angeles.
The girls are currently promoting Snooki & JWOWW Season 2 on many talk shows (including The Ellen DeGeneres Show!) and classed it up with gorgeous, coordinated outfits yesterday. In fact, they really toned it down, not showing an inch of cleavage, even though their tops were a tiny bit low-cut.
JWOWW went for a wrap-style gray shirt, a corset-style buttoned belt, and slimming black pants. With natural makeup and a basic pair of black pumps, she was simply fabulous!
Snooks, on the other hand, went for something a little more daring, wearing a ruffled tank top tucked into a gray pencil skirt. It wasn't as short as she usually rocks, but she added her usual flair with gold, sparkly heels and beautiful curly hair.
We love their classy looks, but do you miss seeing their wild outfits? Tell us your thoughts below!

In Nordic Combined the athletes compete in both cross-country skiing and ski jumping.
Until the 1950s, the cross-country race was held first, followed by the ski jumping. This was reversed as the difference in the cross-country race tended to be too big to overcome in ski jumping.

This recipe changed my angle on home made burgers
I'd cut the total citrus amounts in half to keep that bold beef flavor. My wife is a citrus skeptic and was impressed. Try using different cheeses. Blue cheese and goat were surprisingly good fits
I saw this recipe and I had to try it. The burgers were tangy and had a refreshing end of summer flavor, but something was missing. I think the next time I make then I'll reduce the fruit zest I use by 1/2 and perhaps add some jalapenos or cayenne pepper to give it a little zip. Some tiny bits of the orange may make them a little more juicy and sweet. Certainly a good start, but it needs some tweaking still.

My boyfriend and I LOVED this recipe. We changed it a bit, though, and made it more like sloppy joe's and used swiss cheese instead of pepperjack. Definitely a winner.
I'll tell you what, this lil kid has the knack. I was interested because how quick and simple it was, and dog gone it it was not a let down. Kids like simple and not so spicy foodso maybe it is not for the seasoned chef but great twist on the all-american burger.
When I first saw this recipe I was intrigued w/ the ingredients. I thought surely NO WAY would this even taste good, and WOW was I wrong. While there are many BBQ sauces, I chose Sweet Baby Ray's hickory brown sugar. I stayed on course w/ this burger and it's a fantastic burger! Way to go to the little miss who created it!!!
These were OK but we felt this had way tooooo much juice in it.
I followed the recipe exactly and the burgers fell apart on my grill. Some sort of binder (like an egg) is needed to hold them together. Great flavor though and unusual for a burger.
This is awesome!! Bison makes a super yummy (and healthier) alternitive to beef. This is a great recipe as it is easy to adjust according to one's taste. Will make again for sure!

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has cleared the first hurdle to a challenge against the declaration of its candidate as winner in the 2012 December Presidential election.
The Supreme Court by a 6-3 majority decision ruled that NDC as a political party has the right to join the petition filed by at the court by Nana Akuffo-Addo and two others.
In its diverse opinions, the court, presided over by Justice William Atuguba, supported the argument espoused by the NDC, led by its lead counsel, Mr. Tsastu Tsikata, in an application it filed to join the election petition.
According to the court, the NDC is an interested party to the petition, since any decision arriving from the case directly affects it and, therefore, accepting it to join the case would be in the interest of justice and also prevent multiplicity of proceedings.
Other members of the panel include Justices Julius Ansah, Sophia Adinyira, Rose Owusu, Jones Dotse, Anin-Yeboah, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, Sule Gbadegbe and Vida Akoto-Bamfo.
The court further ordered that the NDC, as third respondents to the petition before the court should be served with the amended petition and other documents filed to enable it respond to the issues raised within seven days of receiving the affidavits.
The ruling, that brought smiles on the faces of executives and representatives of the NDC accredited to the court, appeared to have dished a hefty blow on the face of Nana Akufo-Addo and his team of lawyers led by Mr. Philip Addison, as well as bunch of sympathizers, who were present in the court room.
The petition mentioned Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, NPP running-mate in the 2012 election and Jake Okanta Obetsebi-Lamptey, NPP National Chairman and cited President John Dramani Mahama and the EC as respondents.
In granting the application for joinder, submitted by the NDC, Justice Vida Akoto-Bamfo, who read the lead opinion, noted that the case before the court invokes the original supervisory jurisdiction of the court, which made it necessary to allow all parties into the case to ensure that all matters in controversy were dealt with.
To page 3
It was her considered view that the roles of political parties under the Political Party Law and the Constitution are significant in the democratization of the country and as such, the petitioners as well as the first respondent in the case, President John Dramani Mahama, were all sponsored to run in the 2012 December election by their respective political parties.
She further noted that due to its role, a declaration invalidating the President would affect the political party that sponsored the President-elect, as political parties would have to go back to conduct primaries and select a candidate to stand on its ticket in a contest of an election.
To her, preventing a political party from joining a case that affects it would be a disservice, since the applicant, whose rights are enshrined in the Constitution and who would be directly affected by the decision arrived on the issue before the court, could not be denied from joining to case in determining the issue in the interest of justice.
In his consent, Justice William Atuguba noted that the NDC was right in bringing its application for joinder under Article 14 of Constitutional Instrument (C.I.) 16, which deals with political parties as interested party to a case.
It is in this regard that he espoused the notion that political parties under the law have a role in elections, as it sponsors candidates to contest for public offices as the office of President is no exception.
According to him, when a political party withdraws its nomination of a candidate standing on its ticket in an election, it would invalidate the position acquired by that person, adding that the stake of political parties are further elevated in issues of nominations in forming a government.
In his view, political parties have the right to influence persons, including the President, in shaping the political governance of the country, noting "Petitioners have unsurprisingly described themselves in their political party positions".
Justice Atuguba emphasized the need for a restrictive approach to a joinder to be avoided, as it is "the duty of the court to keep the doors of justice wide open, instead of closing it".
To him, one need not be a citizen of Ghana to be joined to a petition, adding that the NDC and an applicant in the case, is better equipped than the 1st respondent (John Mahama) to help the court to deal with the case.
In their consent to granting the application for joinder, Justices Sophia Adinyira, Rose Owusu, Jones Dotse and Sule Gbadegbe noted that it would allow the entire issue to be dealt with in the interest of Justice, as the applicant is a necessary party in the determination of the case.
Furthermore, they ruled that injustices would be done to the applicant it they were not joined to the case, which so affects them.
Putting forward the lead dissenting view against the application for joinder, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie noted that the applicants are unnecessary party to the case and should, therefore, not be joined to the petition.
According to him, no claims had been made against the applicant in respect of the case filed before the court, noting that applicants argument before the court only indicated that they are "just interested party and not a necessary party," in the case.
To him, the Political Party laws and the Constitution does not make the applicant a necessary party in the case, since the case brought before the court had a restrictive nature.
In their support to opposing the application for joinder, Justices Annin-Yeboah and Julius Ansah noted that the applicant by the law is an intervener and, therefore, not qualified to be joined to the case.
They noted that joinders are accepted depending on the issues before the court and that applicant have failed to convince that it is a necessary party to the case, as it could not meet all the requirements of being joined to the case.

This is one of the very best
By Roger
from Madison, WI
This is not the first Atomic Projection Clock I ever used. This one is the best of them all. It is easy to set up. Two things are quite remarkable. The receiver for the Ft Collins radio signal is in the remote sensor, not the clock itself. As the sensor is located outside, I do not worry about where to locate the clock inside the house where it could possibly not be able to pick up the radio signal. Also, the clock itself does not need batteries; it just plugs in. There is an internal battery back-up to prevent the clock from going back to default. You only lose the projected display. Once the power comes back on, the clock resumes normal operation.The display focus is not adjustable. It does not need that feature. One less thing to worry about.If the projection display could be rotated by 90 degrees instead of only 180, I would have given it a 5 Star rating. I like the fact that the display is back lit and can be set to different brightness levels. The display is very easy to read. There is no unnecessary clutter.Replacement remote sensors are available from the manufacturer.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beautiful and good quality.
By Eve
from St. Louis MO
I love the design and the ease of reading the time and temperature. Seems to be of high quality overall.But clock emits too much light to be used next to bed.
excellent product to have for your home
By Geno
from Virginia Beach, VA
We have enjoyed this display clock so much we had to have another one for our vacation home. The information is there and all you have to do is to open your eyes and you have the current time, outdoor temp and indoor temp in just no time at all. So very convenient.
great for the elderly
By pj
from Sarasota, FL
Gift for elderly parents. They love it. Display on ceiling above bed very convenient. Had difficulty connecting to the radio but easy switch to manual setting. Indoor and outdoor temp display is a great feature.
Circle of time

Great for bedroom ceiling
A pleasanty experience
By Ronnie
from Memphis, TN
Bedroom alarm clock. Wonderful design. Some concern about clock being knocked over. Size is approximately 1" x 6" x 4". the one inch base possibly could use a base to saddle in as a means to make the product more stable and less prone to fall over or be knocked over.
It really is the best projection clock.
By Serious RV'er
from Carlsbad, CA
This a great clock. I have been using projection clocks for years and I love them. I needed another for my new RV and this one had great reviews so I decided to try it. I am glad I did. It is easy to use and the display is great. Although I gave a con of no battery backup, the clock sets itself pretty fast soon after you plug it in so it's not a serious issue. But it would be nice since I have to unplug it when I travel in my RV.
Excellent Ceiling clock
By Tick Tock
from Lakewood, CO
I've found this the best ceiling time clock around with the most accurate time keeping and temp reading from the outdoors. The only thing missing is a focus dial to take the glow away from the ceiling readouts.
Not the Best Projection Clock
By CCAZ
from Phoenix, AZ
Love a projection clock in the bedroom, but this particular clock has an incredibly bright display on the clock itself, which cannot be dimmed. Also, the projection arm does not rotate, so viewing the clock on the ceiling can only go one direction.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Which Powerful Reality Star Thinks Teresa Giudice Is "Fantastic?"
There is certainly no love between Teresa Giudice and pretty much any of her co-stars from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but at least one powerful reality star is still singing Tre's praises.
Donald Trump may have fired Teresa on last season of Celebrity Apprentice, but he still has loads of admiration for the H'wife. "I love Teresa. I think she's fantastic," he told In Touch. "She's doing great. I'm very proud of Teresa."
And while we doubt The Donald caught any of the Season 4 Reunion episodes, when he was told that the other Housewives ganged up on Teresa at times, he seemed to think she'd have no problem holding her own. "She's going to be able to handle it. She's a winner."
Are you surprised that Donald is so fond of Teresa? Weigh in below!
