AHA - found some of what I needed and found out why I have not contributed already. I don't do paypal (after some uncomfortable moments decided I did not trust it). I don't have checks. I am in Spain and getting money from Spain even into place in Spain is difficult at best. Outside is almost impossible. If I can find someone who can send a check who I can then reimburse I will do that.
For example, I have an insight licence but my login does not seem to recognize this. Do I also need to purchase the license for the group?
It would be nice to have some knowledge of how this works. Do we just come to this page at that time? Is there information about Insight online that we can read now?
Thanks George. Could we also address other Insight-live questions in this session? I have two:
1. The recipes list AMT and also give percentages for materials. What do the AMT's represent?
2. I've uploaded all my Glazemaster recipes to my personal Insight-live database. Some are duplicates of recipes already in the group database. I would like to transfer some of the others into the group database. Is there a way to do this without entering them manually?
Will be sending email with the Web address for the meeting to "Attending" members by Thusday. Make sure to RSVP, or change your RSVP to "Attending" to receive the email.
George,
Time works out better for me. See you Sat. How do we check in?
I have something else scheduled at that time but I might be able to reschedule. I have not solved my microphone problem. Someone said it might be in the drivers and I would need to take it in. Hasn't happened. I might call in, like before. Hope you get enough people. For those who have not looked at Insight & the data base, You are missing out! It is awesome! Go to the meeting. Thank's
As soon as there is enough interest expressed by members, we can schedule another Saturday session at around 4 PM Eastern time (US), which should make it workable for our European friends.

Members have had great things to say about John Britt's new book, Mid-Range Glazes. Click the image to buy from Amazon.com
Purchase Glazes Cone 6 by Michael Bailey, The Potters Book of Glaze Recipes by Emmanuel Cooper, or Making Marks by Robin Hopper, all available at amazon.com. Mastering Cone 6 Glazes by John Hesselberth & Ron Roy is now out of print.
Harbor Freight is a great place to find unbeatable prices for better HVLP spray guns with stainless steel parts and serviceable economy models, as well as detail guns, all tested by our members for spraying glazes, as well as compressors to power the guns. As yet no one has tested and commented on the remarkably inexpensive air brushes at harbor freight.
The critter siphon gun is a spray alternative that is well liked by some of our members, and is available at amazon.
Amazon is also a competitive source for photo light tents for shooting professional quality pictures of your work. They also have the EZ Cube brand favored by several of our members. You might also want to purchase the book Photographing Arts, Crafts and Collectibles . . .
If you are up to creating videos of your work or techniques you might want to invest in a flip video camera

ebay is a great alternative for many tools and the equipment used in the ceramics studio - kilns, wheels, extruders, slab rollers are often listed there both new and used.
If you just want to spout off, it is best accomplished as a blog posting. If you want to get more guidance and ideas from other members, ask a question as a new discussion topic. In the upper right corner of the lists for both types of posting, you will find an "+Add " button. Clicking it will open an editor where you create your posting. 4/16/2014
