Daytona Beach - Boardwalk Clock - Jim Zeisler of Portsmouth Ohio ... Thx Pidge F!
Good job, Jim Zeisler, Pidge's brother! Jim and Pidge were born in Portsmouth, Ohio and lived four houses north of the Kegley clan on McConnell Ave. Jim looks just like his dad did back in our day.
Portsmouth should have some sort of similar landmark, maybe with P-O-R-T-S-M-O-U-T-H-W-A-L-L for the Clock numbers. We are very proud of the Floodwall murals which show more than two thousand years of history on over two thousand feet of floodwall.

Daytona Beach - Boardwalk clock
http://www.news-journalonline.
Hour has come to fix the Boardwalk clocktowerPublished:
Sunday, August 25, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.Daytona
Beach does not have an official timekeeper, but it does have
Jim Zeisler. Zeisler, a retired Ohio firefighter, clock aficionado and vice
president of the Daytona Beach chapter of the National
Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, is the guy who,
twice a year, when Daylight Saving Time begins and ends,
ascends 30 feet in a cherry-picker bucket and sets the hands
on the four faces of the Boardwalk's clock tower.The
clock hands are made out of titanium and bolted on with
stainless steel bolts to resist the wet, salty sea winds.
Zeisler removes and repositions each one to put the hour
right. It's not like spinning the hands around your
kitchen's Kit-Cat clock dial.At
this hour, though, Zeisler is alarmed at the clock
tower's overall condition and told the Daytona Beach
City Commission about his concerns Wednesday night.“I
don't think it's structurally sound,” he said.
“I've been up there more times than you can count on
your hands and feet ... and it needs help.”Built
as a make-work New Deal project and dedicated on the Fourth
of July 1938, the clock tower substitutes the letters
“D-A-Y-T-O-N-A-B-E-A-C-H” for the 12 hours on the dial.
It's been a defining local landmark and an image on
hundreds of postcards ever since. Along with the Bandshell
and pier, it's been a symbol of the city's signature
beachside district.The
whole clock tower project cost $268,000 to build, which
would be $4.5 million in today's
dollars.
The
local NAWCC chapter has been maintaining the clock's
insides over three decades now. Club members undertook major
overhauls to the clock's electric motors in 1989 and
2008.But
even though the insides are running fine now, the outside is
not so good, according to Zeisler.“The
structure is pitiful, but it runs,” he said.And
a quick look at the structure backs him up. Some stones are
blackened with mold. The water in the fountain at the base
of the tower is milky and nothing you'd want to dip your
legs in even on a hot August day. Stones are loose.
There's algae in the fountain and pigeons perch on the
tower's sculpted scallops.And
then there's the matter of the weather vane.If
you look at the model of the Boardwalk in the Halifax
Historical Museum — and you really should, the whole place
as it looked in the 1930s is rendered in brightly painted
clay and looks like a scene from a Wallace and Gromit movie
— you will notice a weather vane atop the clock tower.
This surprised me since I didn't remember seeing a
weather vane there.But
according to Ziesler, the weather vane, with an eagle
perched majestically atop, came down in a storm in the
1970s. And even though the column that the weather vane
rested upon now has chunks missing, he hopes to see a new
one go up.Warren
and Ruth Trager, who have long been active in preserving the
area's heritage, already have donated $500 toward a new
weather vane and have pledged another $250 toward topping
the project in style.“Before
we can really put the weather vane up, we've got to put
some work on the structure itself,” said City Manager Jim
Chisholm.But
the good news is that the city now is planning to do
something about
that.“What
we're learning is that any pre-World War Two coquina
structure needs continuous monitoring and maintenance,”
said Deputy City Manager Paul McKitrick.In
addition to recent renovations to the coquina Bandshell,
McKitrick noted the city recently spent $100,000 to restore
the coquina walkover at the base of the Daytona Pier.“If
it could look like the Bandshell, we'd be thrilled to
death,” said Zeisler.And
he's encouraged enough by the city's response that
he's looking forward to the day when that will
happen.

Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, holds two of the
large titanium clock hands before he installed them in 2010
in this file photo. Last week, Zeisler urged the city to
renovate the Bandshell’s clock tower structure.

The Fleecing of America by Jesse and his boy ... Jackson's strike again!
The fleecing of America continues from prison…So, Jesse Jackson, Jr. 17 year veteran of the US Congress, suddenly gets a "mood disorder" (about the same time he learned he was to be indicted) and is going to prison for 2.5 years. Because his "mood disorder" was so severe, he has become disabled and will receive $8700 per month as a disability payment as well as $45000 a year from his congressional pension, a total of about $150K per year.Is this a great country or what?
obamacare- doctors ask if you own guns ... Thx Ramey H!

Yes folks this is
really the sad truth. This was sent to me by a friend who is a retired
Medical Doctor and Aviation Medical Examiner so many will know who this
is. Just another example that ObummerCare is one of the most dangerous
pieces of legislation to come by in years, possible forever!

Your doctor might ask if you own guns | ||||
If I had not heard the following directly from someone I know, I would have written it off as another ultra-rightwing, Obama-hating conspiracy tale with little foundation in truth. I would have considered it the typical fodder found in a National Rifle Association fundraising letter, or a promo for the next broadcast from Hannity, Beck or Limbaugh. But this is no far-right lunatic anecdote. This is true. A female acquaintance told me that when she went to her doctor in Clinton County earlier this week - a typical general practitioner medical doctor - at the end of the usual litany of "routine" health inquiries came a question which left her momentarily speechless. As usual, the nurse took the patient's blood pressure, checked her temperature, and asked things like, "Do you smoke?" and "Do you drink?" Then, the nurse asked, "Do you own any guns?" Yes. Let us repeat the question. The nurse asked of a patient who was there for a checkup, "Do you own any guns?" When the patient recovered from her shock, she asked why on earth such a question would be asked. She told the nurse that whether she owned any guns or not was none of her business. The nurse replied, "We have to ask you that, under Obamacare." The nurse also agreed it was none of her business, but said the question was now being asked of all patients. The nurse said she was advising everyone to just answer, "No." I have tried not to be the kind of conservative who considers Barack Obama the devil incarnate. He is well-intentioned and sincere, I have believed, and I have tried to reflect that belief when occasionally visiting Obama-related topics in this space. Even though I disagree with nearly everything the president seems to believe politically and philosophically, I honor the office of the presidency and do not share the feeling that just because Obama does something, it must automatically be the wrong thing to do. But this, friends, this crosses the line. I took some time to research the subject and, sure enough, it seems that among a number of executive actions signed by the president earlier this year was one which encouraged doctors to seek the gun information from patients, and it becomes nearly a requirement as Obamacare is phased in. Mind you, these questions are not just coming from psychiatrists or psychologists seeking such information from depressed or possibly suicidal or homicidal patients, which might seem reasonable. These questions are being posed by family medical practitioners to all of their patients, in adherence to the guidelines of the Affordable Care Act.

Putin incensed by obama's "Bored Kid" Comment Newsmax
The comment came Aug. 9 at a news conference concerning a showdown with Putin over Edward Snowden, the former defense contractor who leaked top-secret details of the National Security Agency's surveillance programs.
Putin ultimately gave Snowden temporary asylum over the objections of Obama, and the president was asked about his working relationship with the Russian leader.

"I know the press likes to focus on body language, and he's got that kind of slouch, looking like the bored kid in the back of the classroom. But the truth is that when we're in conversations together, oftentimes it's very productive," Obama said.
The president went on to say that he didn't have "a bad personal relationship with Putin," and that "when we have conversations, they’re candid, they’re blunt; oftentimes, they’re constructive."
But Putin was not amused — and the remark just "intensified" Putin's suspicion of Obama, as did his abrupt cancellation of a meeting scheduled for next week in Moscow, The Times reported.
"The comment infuriated" Putin, The Times said, citing an unnamed Russian official.
