Three very small screws is what holds this on. It also has the retainer for the shutter cover lock ring.
Oishi was the chief retainer of Lord Asano and plotted the 2-year delayed revenge attack on Kira. Oishi is still revered today for his unfettered loyalty and feality to his liege lord.
This is where the 47 Ronin of Akō, along with their lord, Asano, are interred. Sengaku-ji is located in Tokyo, near Shinagawa Station.
Oishi Kuranosuke was the chief retainer of the Asano clan during the turmoil associated with the 47 Ronin incident, in which the feudal lord, Asano Naganori, attacked and wounded Kira Yoshinaka within Edo Castle. As drawing a weapon within the shogun's castle was a capital offence, Asano was sentenced to commit seppuku the same day.
As a result of Asano's impulsive behavior, the Shogunate disbanded the Asano clan and seized their lands. Oishi and 46 other former Asano retainers waited and unleashed their misguided revenge on Kira, attacking his home in the dead of night in December 1703, killing his body guards as well as taking his head and placing it in front of Asano's tomb in Sengaku-ji Temple in Takanawa, Tokyo.
All the Akō ronin were sentenced to death by seppuku (harakiri). The loyalty that these guys showed to their foolish lord by committing what can only be described as what me and some of my friends refer to as a feudal "drive-by"- Japanese style, has been lauded by the Japanese public ever since. The facts behind the actual events have been buried in the countless puppet and kabuki plays as well as movies that have been made about this.
I'm not a terribly big fan of Asano Naganori, nor do I think the Akō ronin were particularly "brave" by carrying out a night attack after a party and fighting a small group of drunk bodyguards and taking the head of a feeble old man. But, this perspective is from modern, western eyes. In reality, night attacks of this nature have always been a staple of samurai warfare, being documented since the Heian period. As much as I don't partake in the 47 Ronin Kool Aid drinking parties, I do admit to enjoying watching a good fictional film or kabuki play about these guys.
Fit the spring retainer clips back into place. Usually one of the clips will not fit in correctly in which case you should pull that clip with a neelde nose plier and wrap it around the clip that is fitting.
Also fit the rubber grommet back into place and test the headlight before sealing everything back up.
The nicest thing about fixing this is I can now get the 'fridge really clean, as you see. With the front cross-piece broken in the middle and the center beam broken away at the front, it wouldn't stay clean and didn't look nice. Now, at least better.
Now that its physically robust, I could epoxy the nearly cracked-off retainers at left and right edges of the front- they go above the glass. I cut a piece of 0.040 X 0.250 inch styrene for the gap at the center where they originals plastic is gone- that could be epoxied in place too. Or I could check the replacement cost and and see how much I'd like to enjoy the work I put in.

Matsusaka Castle was built in 1588 by Gamō Ujisato (1556-1595), who was a senior retainer of Oda Nobunaga and then later served Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Ujisato was quick to understand the benefits of Nobunaga’s economic policies and turned Matsusaka into a magnet for merchants with free trade policies and other incentives. Mitsui Takatoshi (1622-1694), founder of what has become today’s powerful Mitsui conglomerate, was from Matsusaka and opened a kimono shop in Edo (now Tokyo) in 1673. The kimono shop was the forerunner of today’s Mitsukoshi department store.
And Matsusaka Castle served as a major strongpoint along the Ise Road that connected the Grand Shrine of Ise to the Tōkaidō Road- Japan’s main medieval transportation artery. During the Edo Period, Matsusaka was under the control of the Kishū Tokugawa clan. The strength of the castle is evident in its impressive stone walls, which survive intact. Unfortunately, the castle’s keep was destroyed as the result of a typhoon in 1644. The castle was abandoned in 1871 when control of all castles was transferred to the Meiji government. Matsusaka Castle’s main palace was lost to fire in 1877, and the rest of the buildings were razed in 1881. But again, the walls are still intact and if you are fan of Japanese Castle stonework, then Matsusaka Castle is a must visit site.
There it is, right under the housing like I thought. By the way, DO NOT try to unscrew the bronze screw at one o'clock. It holds a spring and lever for the speed escapement, and it is not neccessary, nor recommended to remove it. After taking out the two chromed screws, the plate just lifts off.

I've finally finished mounting the marquee artwork and retainer bars. The artwork is between 2 sheets of lexan (which is really tough stuff, but also a little pricey).
I had to remove the T-Molding to fix the marquee, so that I didn't get paint on it and accidentally cut it with the jigsaw.
The retainer removed in Step 4. is trickier to put back in then to take out. Care must be taken to make sure that it is perfectly straight before screwing it in, otherwise it is easily jammed and may get stuck for good.
Initially Rej and Oneal wanted 250 wedding cupcakes instead of a cake.
Reitch was signed up for the task of baking the cakes, and Beng and I were supposed to do the cupcake toppers. We had a test bake session some time in September 2009, and it went well.
Sadly, Reitch had to bail out late last year because she had to take care of a lot of personal matters here and abroad, and we were informed that she couldn't be home in time for the cupcake preparation, much less the wedding itself.
Beng started on a job that took up most of her time, and told us that she couldn't help out as well. It was time for panic, and hopefully, a working Plan B.
I talked to JB and asked if he could help me out. He agreed to take the job. [Insert big sigh of relief here.] Then one of Rej and Oneal's ninongs offered to sponsor the wedding cake. The couple decided to take the offer, and have 50 unique cupcakes [instead of 250 -- YAY] made specifically for the sponsors and members of the wedding and liturgical entourage. Another big sigh of relief.
We worked late nights in spurts, as I was on retainer for an ad agency at the time, and JB had professional commitments as well. It took around four or five sessions in all. We started on these on February 7, and finished all 50 toppers on February 19, 2010.

The spring retainer pieces came in the mail today. This one went into place after some work sanding down the post. The paint had to be removed. It's a snug fit!

The larger flanged ring of the two retainers, it is driven all the way home. It may at times feel like it's tight, but when you look at it from the side, you can see that it still has a sizable gap above the gears. This is when you back it off a little, and then feel the gears pop into place. It usually needs to be done that way with both gears.
I figure the best tool for this job is one that is the same diameter as the retainer, with two pins no deeper than the flange on the retainer, so they don't bind on the gears. This give you even pressure on the retainer while screwing it down, and a better chance of getting it right the first time.

Yes, this is a part of the Berlin Shopping Center. It's a forgotten retainer basin. To find this, go behind the Dollar General. Turn left until you meet up with the poison ivy coated fence. Walk along the fence (you are walking in poison ivy) until you find a small part of the fence where there is no PI. That's where I got this picture. There was ducks on the water, but they flew away when they spotted me. That's what caused the ripples in the water.

Kishiwada Castle, located in Osaka, was built by Koide Hidemasa, a retainer of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in 1582, near the site of where Kusunoki Masashige built a fort in the 1300s. In 1640, ownership of the castle was transferred to Okabe Norikatsu and the Okabe family maintained possession of the castle and the Kishiwada fief until the Meiji Restoration in 1868.
In 1827 lightning destroyed the castle’s main keep and much of the remaining part of the castle was destroyed during the fighting between the Tokugawa and Imperial forces during the civil strife associated with the Meiji Restoration. The current three-story ferroconcrete keep was built in 1954, but it has been confirmed that the original donjon was 5 stories. The moat and the outer stone walls are all that remain of the original castle. All other structures, including the gate, are reconstructions.
The renowned garden designer, Mirei Shigemori, constructed the Hachi Jin no Niwa rock garden in 1953 using chlorite schist from Okinoshima Island in Wakayama Prefecture and white sand from the Shirakawa River in Kyoto. He personally chose all the larger stones and arranged the garden based on the Chinese concept of the battle formation of the eight elements of heaven: earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds and snakes.
