As the summer comes to an end and the fall season begins, you might be thinking about doing some back-to-school shopping for the kids. If you are on a tight budget, you will need to just pick up the basics for now. Get an idea of what kind of apparel you should buy before your kids return to school for the year.
This is among the most common type of apparel parents buy. That's because kids t-shirts have so many uses. The plain kind can be perfect for layering, and since they are inexpensive, they make great play clothes. You can choose between thin single jersey t-shirts and heavier double layer options, depending on the weather and the purpose of the shirt.
You can stick to plain white t-shirts or choose a few different colours for the clothing your kids will wear. Of course, you can also take advantage of the popularity of graphic design for t-shirts and get some fashionable prints your child will love. For instance, you can get his or her favourite cartoon character printed on a shirt, or have his or her name embroidered onto it. Your options for customising t-shirts are pretty much endless.
Whether your kids are part of a sport after school or just have an exercise class, they will need clothing that is comfortable for them to move around in. For example, look for shirts made of polyester, spandex or similar materials with fabric that wicks away moisture. When it's cold out, you should browse shops for long-sleeved shirts that can easily fit underneath larger t-shirts and jerseys.
Track pants are perfect for outdoor activities, since they are easy to move in and are even considered windproof. Any shorts you buy your kids for sports should have an elastic waistband with a drawcord tucked inside, along with mesh inserts. As you shop for sports apparel, look for extra features that are nice, like pockets or reflective materials.
Of course, part of your job as a parent is making sure your child has the right clothes for the weather so he or she can stay warm and dry. Luckily, there are plenty of types of apparel that can help with this task without sacrificing fashion. For those windy, rainy days, make sure you buy at least one windproof, waterproof jacket. You can even buy matching trousers made of the same material if you'd like. Hoodies are perfect for when the weather doesn't call for rain, but it might still be cold. When it's going to be very cold out, a cozy fleece jacket should suffice. Don't forget to buy matching hats, earmuffs and scarves when the weather calls for such warm apparel.
You can buy all of these outerwear clothing options plain and in basic colours, or you can choose to get them customised for your child. The latter is best if he or she will likely be using the clothing for a few years and does not want to lose it at school, since having his or her name or favourite characters on the apparel can keep it from getting mixed up with the other kids' outerwear.

Understanding urban farming is a lot like courting someone
Urban farming is a demanding and taxing chore, but one guy is out to prove that it's possible if only you commit
Photos by Javier Lobregat
Angelo Comsti	August 7, 2018
Urban farming is akin to courting. It requires a lot of attention, time, and patience.
"Think about it like a person you're after," says Julius Barcelona, executive assistant at the family-run Harbest Agribusiness Corporation. "It's like going on a date with someone and wanting him or her to be your boyfriend or girlfriend immediately. That's not how it works. Time and effort should be put in."
He should know. As someone who handles plant nutrition, which requires much research and study on how to maximize the productive potential of plants using different types of bio stimulation and supplements, he is very well versed on how sensitive and fragile they can be—"they" referring to both plants and relationships.
Julius Barcelona
HIS FIRST DATE
Harbest is a company his father Arsenio set up back in 1997. They initially began with the distribution of hybrid seeds. "Way back then, farmers didn't have access to such seeds so productivity was low. We started by introducing high-quality hybrid seeds in the Philippines," says Barcelona. "Then we discovered that there was a lot lacking in the technological and technical side so we now supply almost all of the requirements in a farm, including turnkey projects like the greenhouse, small-scale machineries, organic supplements, and pest control. Practically everything you need to put up a legit farm."
Urban agriculture was Barcelona's own pet project. Given the inaccessibility of resources and information about the subject locally, he was driven to give it a try and hopefully, based on real experience, show people that it can be done. "The major driving force really was to show that it's possible."
For his very first project, he used the rooftop of their four-story office in Kapitolyo, Pasig. "It was pretty bare when I started. The company had a garden before but it was neglected. There was a pot with a mango tree in it and just some plants just hanging on to life." Armed with determination, theoretical knowledge, some practical experience, and clothing protection from the summer sun, he cleared out the space and put into practice what he learned over the years. He started with just a couple of trays, as it was easier to track the progress of the seeds. Pushing the analogy of a date, he was at the getting-to-know-you phase. Unfortunately, he failed, as the meetup didn't blossom into anything. It was February 2017 and the harsh heat prevented the seeds from developing.
New batch of seedlings in the nursery
"You don't get to know much about a person from a single date. In the same way, when you look at land, it has a temper and an attitude; the climate changes over time; the conditions are different. You have to study, understand, and build a relationship with it. Only then will you discover the best way to work with your land."
So the next thing he did was put netting on the rooftop to bring down the temperature and figure out the best way to water the plants. "We couldn't do a one-size-fits-all for the plants because some of them require more water than the others." Towards June the weather was cool enough for tomatoes, arugula, ginger, butterfly pea, cucumbers, leafy vegetables like lettuce, and herbs like basil and oregano to finally grow properly. He has had five cycles of food from then until March this year, when they had to halt operations because of the intense season.
What he currently grows is just enough to feed and satisfy their family of five. But once they open their bigger office in Taytay, Rizal that has a 600-square-meter rooftop compared with the 40-square-meter space in Kapitolyo, he can sell his harvest and turn urban agriculture into something viable, profitable, and commercial.
There are a few requirements when engaging in this commitment: sunlight, water, and time. Money is debatable, as Barcelona has witnessed people grow plants in empty tubs of ice cream as well as a discarded, non-functioning refrigerator. You can be as DIY about it as you want.
"You don't get to know much about a person from a single date. In the same way, when you look at land, it has a temper and an attitude; the climate changes over time; the conditions are different. You have to study, understand, and build a relationship with it. Only then will you discover the best way to work with your land," says Julius Barcelona.
"We have to keep educating people that putting up a farm is dealing with living things. It's not like raising a kid by throwing him in the daycare and expecting him to grow up perfectly fine and healthy. That doesn't work. Being a farmer is a full-time job. You need to want to be a farmer to do it.
As for proximity, you don't need to travel far to tend to your vegetables. Urban farming enables you to enjoy fresh produce all-year-round and also just as much as you need daily. It can be therapeutic and social. It's small-space friendly—you can have the plants hanging on your walls. Plus, it's satisfying and fulfilling as you get to see visible results of the work and sweat you've put in. Best of all, it's good training for starting and, well, keeping a relationship.

Here's how much buying secondhand equipment can save you
An Intimate tour of the historic Casa Juico

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaCommonCrawl


If you are aspiring to be a trader and make millions from this career, you have to be sure that you take the right start. A right start means that you must acquire the necessary education to be able to make successful trades in the market. A lot of people around the world join online brokers' trading platforms under the impression that forex trading is simple and they need no training. That's a huge mistake that a person can make. Yes, forex trading is pretty straightforward at its core, but it does not mean there are no complexities involved in it.
Apart from the basic education that you receive from various online brokers, you have some comprehensive courses from online websites like 2nd Skies Forex. It is arguably one of the most comprehensive and useful forex trading courses on the internet according to its users. Let's take a look at why so many people are of that opinion.
It is amazing that you don't even have to take up any course to learn the basics. Right on the 2nd Skies Forex website, you can find ample information about forex trading. The information on the website will give you a clear idea of what forex trading is all about and how you need to do it. Keep in mind that you are not visiting the website of some forex broker. They usually give you access to a lot of training material but none is available for free. In addition to that, you are not too sure if the course you will gain access to will be worth the money you pay.
On the other hand, when you land on 2nd Skies Forex website, you know this is the right place for anyone to learn forex trading. The website and all of the content available for you is fully focused on teaching you how to trade.
When you want to sign up for a course, the first thing you want to confirm is the source from where the information is coming. Who is the person compiling all the information? Unless you know that, there is no use in acquiring such education. If it is some marketer who is just scraping off content from the internet and putting it together, and then calling it a forex trading course, you are not going to learn anything from it. This will be a pile of generic information that you can research on the internet on your own. When it comes to 2nd Skies Forex, you know the source of information is authentic, reliable, and trustable.
The person who has compiled all of this online course is Chris Capre. The first thing you have to know about Chris is that he has spent multiple decades in the trading world. He is the person who started just like any other novice trader in the world and learned from the ground up. At one point, he only had $3,000 that he decided to invest in the financial markets. It did not take more than half a year for him to turn this money into $83,000. But a person who has only had success in life cannot be a role model. You don't learn from successes. Instead, you learn from your failures and mistakes.
That's how Chris learned the right lessons too. He was successful in the beginning, but then he made some mistakes. It did not take more than 30 days for him to lose $50,000 by making wrong choices. However, Chris got back on his feet and started to take control of his trading career because of his educational background. After studying neuroscience, you would not expect someone to take up a trading career. However, these two fields are related to each other much more strongly than most people imagine. After more than 20 years of experience in this industry, he is now transferring his knowledge to other traders.
During these years, Chris has worked with various Wall Street companies. He has seen the good days and the bad days of trading. More importantly, he has seen this industry in its deepest depths to know what needs to be done for successful trades.
One of the best things about Chris' training is that a big part of it is available for free. Only experts can offer such useful information for free because they know their content will be impressive enough for people to want to subscribe for the remaining content as well. Now, as soon as you look at the content you will realize that it is not just random content. Even the free content has been created with proper detail. There are plenty of videos that teach you about forex trading. In addition to that, there is a separate section that talks specifically about various trading strategies.
The best thing in this section is the free beginner's course. Yes, you can start trading in the real markets with real money once you have completed this course. Don't let the name of the course give you a false impression. This beginner's course is as comprehensive as any course can be. There are a total of 12 chapters within this course. In these 12 chapters, you will get all the basic knowledge about everything that comes in the advanced courses such as Ichimoku trading, price action trading, trading plan etc. This same course talks about various trading platforms that are mostly used for trading with online brokers.
You will also learn about the various charts that tell you about the market conditions. In short, you are in a proper position to start your basic account with an online broker once you have completed this course. In fact, this course is much more comprehensive and covers more topics than any beginner's course with online brokers does.
The real deal is when you get into the advanced courses available from 2nd Skies Forex. Here are the courses and what you will learn in them.
This is an advanced course in which you will learn all about price action trading. Of course, it will first explain to you what price action is all about. If you don't know, different experts speculate the prices of assets in different ways. They use different types of analyses and look into different factors to predict in which direction the price of the asset will move. When you talk specifically about price action, this is a strategy in which the price movement of the asset is your basis of all analyses. You don't give too much weight to other factors. You look at the price movements, the latest ones and those in the past.
Price Action is one of the most effective techniques in financial markets. There are many reasons why this technique is better than many others that experts use. Price action is something that you can apply to any financial asset. It is not specific to a particular market. It does not matter which asset you are talking about, price movement is associated with all of them. Of course, the reason for doing any type of analysis is to help you make profitable trades and avoid the risks as much as possible.
From the name of the course, you might think that you will only gain advanced knowledge of Price Action. However, this course covers everything about Price Action. Once you have completed this course, you will be standing with the experts because of your understanding of the market. After completing the course, it is all about implementing your knowledge practically. When you start applying the knowledge, you learn about the occasions when the Price Action strategy works the best. The more you practice the strategy, the most consistent you get with your strategy.
At the time of writing this, you can join this course for only $290. This promotion is only available for select few candidates and only for a limited amount of time. The actual price of the course is $600.
This is another advanced course but is takes a completely different approach at trading than the price action strategy. Even if you have taken up the Price Action course, you will have to learn this one from the scratch because it is a completely different concept. When you learn about Price Action, you look at the price movements of the assets in the market to analyze whether they will rise or fall in the future. You don't look at other factors. In fact, you don't even look at why the price has gone up or down. You just analyze the prize movement, its aggressiveness, and some other price-related factors to speculate how long the trend will continue.
On the other hand, Ichimoku is all about support and resistance. Ichimoku is actually the name of a chart that you have to look at before entering a trade. Experts believe that it is the more in-depth analysis of financial assets because there are more indicators included within this analysis. When you predict the price of an asset based on equilibrium chart, you have a higher probability of making a successful trade than you have with other analysis. The origin of this technique lies in Japan. Unlike many other indicators, this particular technique has come into being only a little more than 50 years ago.

The Punda District – once fortified and walled – along with its neighboring districts of Otrobanda, Pietermaai, Scharloo, preserve some 765 buildings as national monuments.

Carnival! The main marches, the product of weeks of enthusiastic preparation, take place in February or March. They feature hordes of fantastic floats, costumes, and characters, plus Carnival royalty elected during full-scale beauty contests.
There are two big parades, one on Sunday in the daytime — Curaçao's Gran Marcha ("The Grand Parade") — and the Marcha Despedida ("the Farewell March") a couple of days later, usually on Tuesday evening. The latter has a special magic — floats are adorned with sparkling lights and at the finale of the parade at midnight, the Momo (a big straw-filled doll) is burned. Carnival celebrations usually last until the eve of Ash Wednesday.
Carnival Queen - Represents Mother Earth, the symbol for fertility and peace.
Carnival King (King Momo) - As symbol for infertility, sins and bad luck, this straw-filled king is burned in a spectacular ritual at the end of Carnival.
Prince and Pancho - Carnival's boisterous energy stands out next to these two "city leaders".
The Carnival route varies from year to year, but always goes through Otrobanda. Arrive early to get a good spot, and ask your hotel concierge about special seating for tourists. If you want to dance and mingle with the locals, stick to the streets. The crowds are generally friendly and family-oriented. And if you get the chance to join the parade, definitely take it! It's an experience of a lifetime. And most important of all — don't forget your camera!

Actually, what's your purpose as a Catholic bookstore? Do you really have a reason for being in business? Apart from selling Catholic stuff, why do you do what you do?
If you don't have an answer, I strongly suggest finding a purpose. Once you do, you will find that you start coming up with a lot more ideas on how to improve and promote your store.
First, I would propose that anyone who opens a Catholic store needs to decide that they are really opening a Catholic store. The first, and only reason that I can think of to justify opening a Catholic store is that you want to strengthen the Faith. This sounds like it should be obvious but it really isn't. Take a look around your store or think about other stores you have visited. Do all of the products in the store help to strengthen the Faith? Are there products in the store that contradict the Faith or muddy what the Faith is? If so, the store is contributing to its own and the Church's downfall.
This may sound harsh but it is true. If you truly want to run a Catholic store it has to be Catholic. Otherwise you are helping to sow seeds of confusion and dissention. Selling books by authors such as Fr. McBrien, Fr. Greeley, Sr. Chittister, Anthony deMelo, etc. may bring you a certain type of customer for a while but you will find that eventually this audience will shrink and vanish because these authors present views antithetical to the Faith and people that buy in to these authors' views will eventually leave the Church or stay on as aging dissidents who don't have much use for Catholic stuff and certainly won't be passing the Faith on to their children. If you don't believe me, just look at the destruction of the religious orders that adopted dissenting views after Vatican II. Most are either gone or have so few young vocations that they won't be around 50 years from now. If you don't hold to the Faith, there is no reason to stay in business or recruit for vocations or be evangelistic.
Thanks for this post. There is a Catholic bookstore in my neighborhood that sells good books but also sells books by known heretics. Some of the stuff is on the verge of being New Age. I don't buy that much from them anymore.


Home » Blog » Heliotrope Rash – what can we do about it?
Imagine you wake up one morning with an itch around your eyes.
As the day progresses, that itch turns into red, swollen patches. Anytime this happens, it can cause a lot of anxiety.
Unfortunately, you might have something called Heliotrope Rash.
Heliotrope rash isn't a common name, but its effects can be unnerving. So how do you know that this might be your condition?
And what do you do when you suspect you have it?
Here is information that can help you in deciding if you might be suffering from this rash and what to do if you are.
This is a persistent inflammation of the skin and possibly the muscle underneath. Heliotrope Rash is named after the tendency of plants to develop towards the sunlight.
In adults, most cases occur around the age of 50. In children, peak age is about five to ten years old.
The causes are largely unknown, though the best theory is that it is an autoimmune reaction to an initial viral infection or some forms of cancer.
Most people who receive the diagnosis survive, though with ongoing infection develop further muscle weakness. The older you are when you receive the diagnosis, the more likely the condition is accompanied by other more serious conditions, reducing the outlook of treatment.
The rash itself is the first sign that you might have this condition. A Heliotrope rash is reddish or often violet colored. It develops across the eyes and face, but may also show up around the joints such as the knuckles, the shoulders, back, and chest.
The rash develops over time and grows progressively more swollen and irritated. It may change color from red to an intense purple. The skin turns blotchy and the rash is exacerbated by exposure to sunlight.
The rash has different names depending on the coloring and location.(3) A Shawl sign is a covering over a wide area of skin. Similarly, the V sign appears as a wide covering in a V shape over the chest.
Gottron's sign develops over joint areas, particularly the knees, elbows, and knuckles. It's a flat red rash. Gottron's Papules appear in the same places but are raised instead of flat.
Mechanic's hands is a rash appearing on your hands. They look dirty because of the cracked skin and harsh red color. The nails are brittle and develop uneven edges, lending them the look of someone who works in manual labor.
One of the main signs that it's Heliotrope Rash is muscle weakness.(4) Muscle inflammation causes some loss of functionality while the skin inflammation spreads.
Muscles next to the torso are highly affected and weakness progresses in a systemic pattern. There may also be pain and tenderness or swelling.
If the muscle weakness progresses further without treatment, you might experience loss of feeling and activity in your esophagus. This will make swallowing very difficult. It's also possible that if it progresses further or is left untreated, you can develop something called aspiration pneumonia.
Initially, diagnosis is made from exterior examination of the affected areas. Doctors are able to assess fairly well the type of rash from its distinct features.
Once an examination has been made, there are a few different tests to run to understand the scope and severity of the rash.
The first test is something called a "biopsy" where a sample of the affected skin is taken and sent to a lab.(3) The lab then confirms a diagnosis.
Other tests are done in order to determine possible causes of the inflammation. These tests differ based on the age of the patient and suspected causes. Many of them involve testing the blood or x-raying parts of the body to identify the underlying cause.
Unfortunately, there's no cure for heliotrope rash because of the underlying causes. However, there are things you can do to alleviate some of the symptoms and prevent worsening the rash.
First, it's important that you wear sunscreen or stay out of direct sun completely. Protective clothing is important as well. Exposure to the sun will worsen the rash.
Another treatment is an anti-histamine ointment to relieve itching.(3) Anti-histamine cuts down on the immune response that triggers the rash. Using it regularly prevents the skin from being as inflamed.
Other ointments are steroid based. Prednisone and corticosteroids help to reduce inflammation and fight the skin's auto-immune response. Many patients see a huge difference in their skin tone and feeling after using steroids for a period of time and some see remission.
Therapy is continued if the symptoms return.
For severe cases, a patient might be prescribed stronger immunosuppressants to ease inflammation. If the rash is recurring and isn't kept under control, these stronger therapies might offer relief.
For accompanying muscle weakness, physical therapy is prescribed to prevent further muscle loss.(3) It's important to build strength back to prevent injury due to compromised muscle control.
Adequate stretching also helps relieve any soreness and further condition the muscle to improve control. Other types of physical manipulation might be necessary to reduce pain and regain strength.
A rare few patients experience some calcification of the skin if the rash progresses untreated. For these patients, surgery may be necessary to relieve some of the discomfort associated with these areas. For most patients, however, surgery is unnecessary.
The rash is usually managed quite well with topical prescriptions designed to minimize the body's immune response.
At the moment, heliotrope rash and its underlying causes aren't fully understood.
Recent studies have shown links to several autoimmune diseases as well as cancer, but this link isn't fully established.
One study showed a link between a tendency to Dermatomyositis and a genetic predisposition. Patients often show immunologic abnormalities as well.
This abnormal T-cell activity may contribute both to skin sensitivity as well as muscle weakness.
Drug-induced Dermatomyositis has also been found in patients with chronic forms of leukemia or essential thrombocytosis.(5) Drugs that trigger reactions consistent with heliotrope rash include certain statins and penicillins.
In cancer patients, anti-tumor necrosis factor drugs are also linked with the rash.
Anecdotally, patients who received silicone breast implants or silicone injections have reported instances of heliotrope rash, but this hasn't been verified by independent studies.
The study didn't seem to be affected by prescription of corticosteroids and immunosuppressant drugs.
When a diagnosis is delayed, this further exacerbates the presence of the underlying malignant conditions. Catching the rash early causes relevant tests to be performed.
Overall, this leads to better treatment and management of all underlying causes, not just the rash.
If you are diagnosed with heliotrope rash, it isn't the end of the world. It's important that you see a doctor as soon as possible so that you can receive a diagnosis.
The sooner you catch it, the better it will be for your health.
There are therapies and prescriptions to help you manage the physical symptoms of the rash. Many people experience remission after the right therapy and regain the use of their muscles.
Whatever the diagnosis, there is hope and help to ease the condition.

Rome wasn't built in a day…but you can tour it in just over 10 hours. A teeming anthill of humanity and antiquity intermingled with awful traffic jams, Rome grew up on the Tiber ("Fiume Tevere") among seven low hills that rise from the river's soggy eastern banks. It's a city of many peeling layers of history, of which the bottom layer–that of the earliest Roman centuries–is the most interesting and still astonishingly whole. The hub of this layer is the Palatine Hill, the Forum, the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus.
On the western bank is the Citta Vaticana, the independent papal city where the Pope blesses pilgrims from all over the world. Neighboring Trastevere ("Across the Tiber") is a mix of Roman, Greek and Jewish subcultures, great for little restaurants and nightlife. Further north on the other bank is "vecchia Roma," medieval Rome of the Pantheon and Piazza Navona; Renaissance Rome is centered south of the Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Commercial Rome is the city of the Via del Corso, the Piazza del Popolo, the controversial Victor Emmanuel monument and finally the Stazione Termini, the nexus for all trains and roads from Rome.
As you approach the city over the bridge from the Italian mainland, you leave behind terra firma and, with it, earthbound notions of how to see and experience a city. Venice is not solely the spill of churches and palazzi on either side of the Grand Canal, but rather a city of islands, 118 in all, some of which are little more than the weedy, humps you see in the Lagoon of Venice. And yet these mud flats provided haven for the people who fled here (without benefit of a bridge) from Huns, Visigoths, and other marauders in the fifth century. And those refugees gave birth to a culture that ripened into a thousand years of greatness.
As you near the end of the bridge, you see at first only the back side of the city itself. But in the time it takes to walk through the train station, you begin to hear sounds peculiarly Venetian–the low rumble of boat motors, a humid incubation of voices, water lapping insistently against wood and stone. And then Venice confers her greatest gift: No matter how many times you've been here, it always seems, in that first glimse, like the first time.
If you are smart, you will immediately start a tour down the Grand Canal by hopping on a vaporetto (water bus) or gondola or water taxi. If you are lucky, it will be during those few hours before sunset when the light shines most kindly on the venerable facades that line this liquid boulevard. If you are particularly observant, you might even notice that neither the light nor the colors are quite Italian, not like the tawny earth tones of Florence or Rome.
The canal is a murkey green, the palazzi a mix of faded, grimy sherbets–watermarked mint and sun-blanched apricot and deep overripe peach. Sunlight shatters into spangles on the water, gondolas knife bach and forth, the Rialto Bridge looms overhead, and then, beyond one final curve, the Palladian church of Santa Maria della Salute and the Campanile (bell tower) of San Marco come into view.
Piazza san Marco is Venice's grand salon–expansive, familiar, picturesque, pigeonesque. It is anchored at its eastern extreme by the Basilica di San Marco, which is not only the spiritual seat of Venice's patron saint but also one of the most glittering monuments of Christendom.

Step Van... anyone build one?
Has anyone built a step van?
I am in the process of building one for a junkyard diorama, from plans/measurements that I got from one of the real 1:1 manufacturers, I am curious where to get the "commercial truck wheels" in 1/25 scale. Anyone know where to get em?
i have wanted to build a Grumman step van for a really long time, but i dont have the scratchbuilding skills for that yet. i did buy a long time ago Monograms F350 dually kit for the chassis and it's correct style wheels, but had planned on using a small-block Chevy for power. my dad drove these trucks for over 20 years and i spent alot of my childhood riding around in them. most of it seems pretty easy, but i'm at a loss as to how to replicate the hundreds of rivets on the outside of the body.
that's it Mike, but how might we get one of those?
Thanks mike, that's certainly easier than scratchbuilding one.
Dave... my idea for the rivets was to make a mold of the ones from the Ford Lousville truck kit, on the box, and then recast them and attach them to the side in the appropriate locations. Not sure if this is the best approach, but it was my plan.
Aha, the ever-elusive Dannon Yogurt 1/25 scale step van model/toy has been converted to resin!
I have one of the Dannon trucks, got it years ago. A good modeler can do a lot to improve on it, but at least the step vans are a fairly simple design.
Maybe they show up on Ebay from time to time. I'm not giving mine up. Nor my 1/25 scale UPS package car, another elusive 1/25 scale model that's pretty cool.
Zoom Zoom, aka Bob Downie My Fotki Album The only cure for modeler's ADD is "final assembly and decal placement"
i want to add ALL of the detail's that i remember. the floor pan in the front section bolted together, so it could be disassembled for drivetrain maintenance. the transmission cover in the truck my father had that was stick shift would blow up a few inches when driving on the highway, the bolts were stripped in the aluminum. i was always amazed to see the road speeding under the truck when it did that! i have tons of memories, i spent alot of time as a kid with him on his routes. keep us posted on your progress Chris!
QUOTE: ZOOM ZOOM:Nor my 1/25 scale UPS package car, another elusive 1/25 scale model that's pretty cool.
Uh, I haven't seen that one...post a pic? PLEASE!
How 'bout both of 'em?
I've only seen 1 or 2 other UPS truck models like this ever. Lee Baker in Chattanooga bought one and detailed it up a bit, looks very nice. I have the box for this one and will probably leave it as-is. Surprised no resin caster has dug one up to recast, I think it would be fairly popular if they did so.
i do remember someone resin casting that UPS truck and quickly getting in trouble. apparently UPS has some sort of copyright on the truck body and from what i understood, shut him down in a hurry. my son has a UPS truck toy in what looks like 1/32 scale that my wife found at a yard sale, i wonder how many of those are around?
Very cool trucks! I remember seeing a 1/32 Divco truck, and I got a 1/72 Chevy Stepside (Air Force flight line truck) but never seen one in 1/24. Sure would be cool to find one! There was a Tamiya Toyota Hi-Ace truck a long time ago that could be used in your build up.
From: "Valley of the Sun"
HA Mike... I got a UPS van. I think it's 1/24 or 1/25. I don't know the differance, it's die cast. e-mail if your interested.
I've bought from him a few times. I've had problems with him being out of stock on items I wanted, but he won't take orders on stuff he doesn't have in stock until he gets them in.
The quality and service is good, I have been happy with all my dealings with him.
I really have been working to scale one of these out to scratch build. I would buy a UPS truck in a heartbeat.
Any way you might share your plans? I still want to scatchbuild one!
I wanted to post a pic of my detailed 1/25th UPS truck, but posting a pic here looks to be a bit difficult. Oh well.
Jeff Ballard at Motor City Resins has released a new casting of the Uptown Automotive Step Van and it is a beauty. I got one to do my son-in-laws food truck.

Finders, keepers: Man finds 2-carat diamond in Arkansas park
Posted 3:20 PM, February 10, 2015, by Greg Margason - Digital Producer, Updated at 03:30PM, February 10, 2015
(CNN – Feb. 10, 2015) — When fields get plowed, diamonds don't usually pop up.
That's unless you're visiting Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas.
That's where Dean Filppula, an offshore steward from Shreveport, Louisiana, found a yellow 2.01-carat diamond last week.
It's finders, keepers at the state park's 37-acre search field, which is named for an ancient eruption that littered the area with gems. The area, which became a state park in 1972, is the only public site in the world where — for a small fee — you can dig for diamonds and keep them.
The sparkling wedge-shaped stone is about the size of an English pea, park interpreter Waymon Cox said in a news release. It's the largest stone of the 20 found this year, he said.
"More than half an inch of rain had fallen two days before his visit, washing loose soil from the surface of the diamond search area, and, no doubt, uncovering the large, yellow gem," Cox said. "Anyone could have found it, but Mr. Filppula was in the right place at the right time."
Filppula, who plans to sell the diamond, named it the Merf Diamond after his mother's initials.
It's not clear how much Filppula will get for the diamond, and park officials aren't trained to appraise them, according to the park website. But Oklahoma Tara Clymer found a 3.85-carat diamond in 2013 and sold it last year for $20,000.
Before Filppula's find, park staff had plowed the area to bring more diamonds to the surface for visitors to find.
The 40.23-carat Uncle Sam, the nation's largest diamond, was found in 1924. The "perfect" 3.03-carat Strawn-Wagner diamond was found in 1990, and a man discovered the white 6.19-carat Limitless Diamond in April.
The park stretches for more than 900 acres along the Little Missouri River, but the hunt in the diamond field is the big draw. More than 75,000 diamonds have been discovered there since farmer John Huddleston discovered gems on what was then his property in 1906.

Math evolved not as a science, but as individual solutions to simplify difficult problems that occur often, as methods to improve efficiency. It is often described as our study of measurements, properties and relationships of quantities. We do this by counting, comparing and organizing.
Both spoken and written, math provides us a language that helps describe and document the behavior of objects, items and ideas using measurements, properties and relationships of quantities.
Math has rules and methods, unique numerals and symbols, each has specific meaning.
Some of our still widely applied mathematics were founded thousands of years ago. Ancient civilizations dealt with creating structure, cities and buildings, and being able to control the process of many people working together to complete a construction over many years within a fixed cost. These are problems that we face today.
Most of us use Rational Numbers every day.
… and Irrational Numbers including pi, e, square root and logarithm when their value cannot be written as the ratio of two integers.
Patterns and Relationships: Patterns are things that repeat forming relationships of physical objects or concepts that are connected.
Geometry and Spatial Sense: Geometry involves shape, size, space, position, direction, and movement. It describes and classifies the physical world.
Measurement: Measurement assigns length, width and weight to an object using standard units like inches, feet, and pounds. Time is measured using hours, seconds, and minutes.
Estimating: To estimate is to approximate the amount or size of something.
Statistics and probability: Using graphs and charts to organize and interpret data into relationships to form meaningful information.
The Roman Colosseum, 80 AD, is an amphitheater seating 50,000 to 80,000 persons, was built without modern day electric or engine powered machinery in just 10 years.
It has a ground area of 6 acres, required 3,531,467 cubic feet of travertine stone and 300 tons of iron clamps.
Applied mathematics described the Colosseum to communicate exact dimensions for massive stone blocks and columns quarried and cut over 20 miles from the construction site. The quarry was near what today is Tivoli. As stone blocks and columns arrived to the construction site they fit together exactly and concrete was only used with arch stones.
The Empire State Building is 1,454 feet high. Its 102 floors, on average, accommodate 21,000 persons each day.
Using engineering techniques incorporating advanced mathematics the Empire State Building was completed in just 410 days, less than the expected 18 months. It opened on May 1, 1931.
A just-in-time construction project. Its steel was continuously loaded for rail shipment hot from Pittsburgh mills to accommodate limited materials storage areas near the city construction site, and so, that steel delivered had sufficiently cooled to immediately use.
Typical of other skyscrapers of the 1930's it features the art-deco design of pre-World War II New York City architecture. As part of its design the 102 nd floor of the Empire State Building has a door with ascending stairs leading to the 103 rd floor originally built with a mast to moor dirigibles and airships. Due to numerous safety problems of airships the mast was never used for its purpose.
Geometrical patterns we have created exist everywhere, their symmetry provide beauty and a sense of purpose.


Short Description: The CPT code book (Current Procedural Terminology) is a compilation of codes, guidelines and descriptions used to report healthcare services by healthcare providers for services performed. In this course we will review the first three body systems: Integumentary System, Musculoskeletal System, and Respiratory System. We will explore how to find and apply the appropriate CPT codes for these systems. Understanding each system will allow you to properly code procedures and diagnosis pertaining to these systems.

Is your incentive program truly motivating your employees in the long-term?
Most business owners approach employee incentives with mixed emotions. They want to provide some system that creates a sense of urgency and responsibility in their employees, but they don't want to give up too much of an already limited bottom line.

Home History Hall of Fame Black Gordman
Black Gordman
Long before JBL was doing the "anti-immigrant" angle in his feud with the late, great Eddie Guerrero, and long before Eddie and his tag partner Art Barr were inciting riots among wrestling's Mexican fans in the early 90's, Black Gordman had become a genius in generating heat from Mexican wrestling fans in the Southwest and in Southern California. And he wasn't alone. Along with long time partner the Great Goliath, who would both make a point to claim to be from "New Mexico" rather than Mexico, he became a part of the 70's tag team that was greatly successful in both raising the ire of the fans, and in winning multiple tag team titles in various promotions.
Born Victor Manuel Barajas on October 5, 1936 in Mexico, as a youth Black Gordman spent some of his time as a vendor in the wrestling arenas of Mexico. Little did he know that he would eventually be working in those same arenas as a prominent Luchador. Debuting in the early 60's as Victor Mendoza, he would wrestle under different identities before setting on Black Gordman, and he would soon find success, defeating Pantera Negra for the Mexican National Heavyweight title on September 6, 1966. Gordman had gained enough attention for his success in the ring to have also been given an acting part opposite Lucha Libre legend El Santo in the movie "El Tesoro de Dracula", which was released in 1969.
Soon he would quickly gain success in the U.S. as well. Black Gordman would begin working for Mike LeBelle's Los Angeles wrestling promotion in 1969 and quickly displayed his ability as a tag team wrestler winning the America's Tag Team titles along with Pepper Gomez on February 7, 1969. It would be only the first of what was to be a record 27 titles reigns that Black Gordman would have with various partners and he would also be a co-holder of that title when the LaBelle promotion eventually closed at the end of 1982.
And while he was most identified by his prowess as a tag team competitor, Gordman was no slouch in the singles division either. He would begin a long rivalry with Mil Mascaras which saw him lose his hair in a mask vs. hair match against Mascaras on September 9, 1969 at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles. Undaunted, Gordman would continue his feud with Mascaras and earn his first America's Heavyweight singles title by defeating Mascaras on November 5, 1971. He also won the "Beat the Champ T.V. Title" while wrestling singles in L.A. and engaged in notable feuds with other wrestling greats such as John Tolos, Porkchop Cash, and Victor Rivera. And on January 18, 1974, he would add to his list of accomplishments a victory as the last man standing in the prestigious Los Angeles Annual Battle Royal.
For all his accomplishments as a single wrestler, without a doubt, it's his pairing with the late Great Goliath for which wrestling fans have the fondest memories. For together, they held the America's Tag Team titles 18 times in addition to winning the NWA Western States Tag Team titles, The Georgia Tag Team titles, The Texas Tag Team titles, the Central States tag team titles, as well as the San Francisco version of the NWA World Tag Team titles. And their abilities were not only recognized stateside, as they would also be invited to tour Japan as well.
Black Gordman and the Great Goliath displayed a good working ability in the ring, displaying great timing and wrestling with bursts of quickness and great tenacity. And while their out of the ring chemistry has been in dispute, there is no doubt about their in-ring chemistry.
Besides their ability to execute moves (with Gordman performing the "DDT" years before Jake "The Snake" claimed to have invented it), their ability to get the crowd involved was also apparent, as they resorted to cheating tactics while in the ring and to insulting the Mexican fans while on the microphone. They had a great way of balancing the way they executed their offense as well as "selling" for their opponents. It wasn't unusual to see them flying out of the ring, really selling their opponents prowess.
They also had a unique way of being tenacious while on offense, yet often comical in the way they'd scream in agony while their opponents cranked up the pressure while performing a wrestling hold. Gordman would do this in particular, blurting out expletives and verbal expressions of pain, many of which were in Spanish, to the delight of the fans and particularly to those who understood what he was saying.
Gordman who currently is retired in Guadalajara, Mexico, would continue to wrestle after the closing of the L.A. promotion, particularly in Texas, where he would wrestle for Joe Blanchard's Southwest Championship wrestling promotion as well as a few shots in Fritz Von Erich's World Class Championship wrestling. But for those of us in Southern California during the 70's and early 80's, it was here that we considered the rightful place of Black Gordman and in our hearts and minds, he will always have a home.
