Johnson City's electric utility will contribute $500,000 to help build East Tennessee State University's $38 million fine and performing arts center, a pledge that the company's leaders said will help drive economic development in the region.
The Johnson City Power Board's board of directors voted unanimously Thursday to approve a recommendation from CEO Jeff Dykes to commit the money from the JCPB's underground/economic development fund.
"When you look at the growth at ETSU in the past four years, we have picked up new commercial buildings on campus," Chair Jenny Brock said. "In looking at helping the university get this thing out of the ground and up and going, it's good business for us, and it's good business for the citizens in our community.
"The minute they open their doors, people are going to be in town spending their money, restaurants will be popping up, which means new customers for us, so I think this is one of those projects we look at and say, 'Does this fit our mandate from the TVA for us to become involved in it?' "
Jonesborough Mayor and JCPB board member Kelly Wolfe agreed the destination theaters and instruction space planned for the center will be a boon to the local economy.
"I think it's a very widely held and accepted notion that economic development isn't just buying land for an industrial park anymore," he said. "I think the quality of life component that this performing arts center represents is just as important as buying available land for industry, it's just as important for utilities being present on site or having a shell built. It's just as important as just about anything else you could do in that process."
A similar pledge from the Power Board in 2006 for the building of ETSU's Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy was met with opposition from then-City Commissioner Pete Paduch, who said the $50,000-per-year contribution violated the company's policy forbidding charitable donations.
Then, and now, JCPB's attorney Tom McKee said the money can be considered an investment in economic development, and is perfectly legal.
"I see nothing wrong with this proposal at all, to start with," McKee told the board. "In fact, it's consistent with what we've done before. This is not a private organization like the Medical Center, it's a state deal with strong economic development connotations to it."
In making the proposal, which will likely be a lump sum instead of the yearly contributions still being made to the pharmacy school, Dykes said the money would be earmarked for energy expenses for the arts center.
"One of the strings we're really putting out there … is we want to be involved from day one on the design," the CEO said. "We want to be there and say 'When you're doing lining, here are some great way of putting it in that's going to reduce your cost, when you're building the shell and putting your heating and cooling systems in, here are some things that are going to reduce your costs.' "
The Power Board's commitment puts fundraising for the arts center at slightly more than $5.5 million, about 58 percent of the goal of $9.5 million.
The college expects to receive about $28.5 million from the state for the project, which will likely be built adjacent to the Millennium Centre on West State of Franklin Road across from ETSU's campus.
Negotiations between the school and Johnson City's Public Building Authority for the intended land, know as Lot 1, are still ongoing, but officials say a deal could be announced soon.
The board voted unanimously to commit the money to the project, with new member, B. J. King abstaining. King, who attended her first meeting Thursday, is an employee of ETSU, serving as senior associate vice president for finance and administration.

The site-effect is trying to build stuff in the FreeBSD ports tree, order problems etc. I don't know the source of portupgrade, but you could use "make describe" and use everything before the first '|' as package name. If you can modify portupgrade to do that, you still have to add describe to the list of targets we don't want to print the override warning for. Joerg

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Want to name Pluto's two tiniest moons? Then you'll need to dig deep into mythology.
Astronomers announced a contest Monday to name the two itty-bitty moons of Pluto discovered over the past two years.
Pluto is the Roman equivalent of the Greek's Hades, lord of the underworld, and its three bigger moons have related mythological names: Charon, the ferryman of Hades; Nix for the night goddess; and the multi-headed monster Hydra.
The two unnamed moons – no more than 15 to 20 miles across – need similarly shady references. Right now, they go by the bland titles of P4 and P5.
Online voting will last two weeks, ending Feb. 25. Twelve choices are available at www.plutorocks.com.
Among the choices: Hercules, the hero who slew Hydra; Obol, the coin put in the mouths of the dead as payment to Charon; Cerebrus, the three-headed dog guarding the gates of the underworld; Orpheus, the musician and poet who used his talents to get his wife, Eurydice, out of the underworld only to lose her by looking back: Eurydice; and Styx, the river to the underworld.
As of Monday afternoon, Styx and Cerebrus were leading. The vote tally is updated hourly.
"The Greeks were great storytellers, and they have given us a colorful cast of characters to work with," said Mark Showalter, senior research scientist at SETI Institute's Carl Sagan Center in Mountain View, Calif.
He and other astronomers who discovered the two mini-moons using the Hubble Space Telescope will make the winning selections.
Write-in name suggestions are welcomed, but they need to come from Greek or Roman mythology and deal with the underworld.
The name for the planetoid, or dwarf planet near the outer fringes of the solar system came from a little English girl. Pluto's discoverer, Clyde Tombaugh, liked that the first two letters were the same as the initials of late American astronomer Percival Lowell. Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930 using the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz.
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is en route to Pluto, arriving in 2015 on the first robotic flyby ever of the planetoid.
The winning moon names will need final approval by the International Astronomical Union.
Hopefully, there won't be any conflicts like when the name Nix was picked. The night goddess actually is spelled Nyx, but an asteroid already had the moniker so the proper spelling for the moon had to be nixed.

Blogging should now be a vital aspect of your online marketing presence. It allows you to reach out to your users when they are in research mode and position your firm as the expert in your industry. Yet so many businesses today are not allocating the time and resources needed to start and maintain a blog. So I have compiled a list of ten mistakes that I encounter on a regular basis when businesses start blogging.
Putting it on a Sub Domain
I see this mistake all too often. A company sets up a blog and they locate it at blog.mydomain.com or at WordPress, Blogger or Blogspot. While it is great that your company is starting to blog, even if it is on a sub domain, we must consider the SEO ramifications. Google and other search engines consider blog.mydomain.com and mydomain.com/blog as two completely separate websites. So the power and rankings that your home page has does not get passed along to your blog, and I'm sure the reason you started a blog was to help garner more traffic over time and share your expertise.
You also need to stay away from blogging websites such as Blogger and Blogspot for a few main reasons: If those companies ever shut down you just lost your entire blog for one, and two, all those incoming links that you have built up and worked for are now gone. So any value in terms of rankings and SEO that your blog had has vanished in an instant. Also, keep in mind that this holds true if you decide to move your blog off of Blogspot and to your main domain.
Not Being Consistent
You need to be consistent when blogging. This doesn't mean you have to write a blog post every day, but you need to figure out when you can make the time to research and write content for your website. If you can only do it once a month, great, but make sure you do it once a month and post a blog post consistently at the same time each month. If you find time to build two articles in a month save one of them for a month that you will not be able to post. Nothing is more frustrating then finding an inactive blog where the writer is currently taking an extended break. If your still in business then your blog needs to show it.
Thought Leadership
If you write a blog with information that I can get at a lot of other web sites, that is not thought leadership. Thought leadership is how you showcase that you are an expert in your field. True experts have no issues creating thought leadership content. Non-experts have issues coming up with one or two meaningful blog posts. If I can Google the title of your post and see multiple searches with very similar information then your content is nothing new or unique. Spend the time to research each topic you are writing about carefully, and then showcase your expertise within that post, making your blog more useful then the rest.
Not Making it Easy to Socialize
The reason we are using sites like Facebook and Twitter is to share the great content we find online. And most of that great content comes from blogs. If there is no easy way to share your content through social media then you are missing out on a key aspect of blogging. You need to actively engage users by regularly sharing your great content. Make sure your blog has embedded share buttons on each post making it easy for others to share it with their friends.
Proper Use of Headlines
When it comes to creating titles use proper writing etiquette. When using header tags use them as you would with an indentation structure of a bullet point list. For example, there is no reason to have multiple h1s on a page. This dilutes the overall semantics of the page and confuses your visitors. Use h1 tags as your headline and h2 - h6 as a component of lower level headings. In other words use Headings to make your page as user friendly as possible to the reader, don't try to over optimize it for SEO.
Focusing on Quantity Not Quality
This goes into creating thought leadership but I felt it deserved it's own section. A lot of companies try to create as much content as quickly as possible because there competition is doing it. Blogging is not a race where whoever creates the most content wins. Quality always wins over quantity online. If you create high quality content that people will find helpful, they will reward you with link backs and tweets all of which will help more people find your great content. While the business focusing on quantity isn't adding any value to their blog.
Making it All About You
Blogging requires some passion and a lot of time. If you are doing it to sell your products or services or just make money, then you are doing it for the wrong reasons. Readers can tell if a blog is full of useful information or one giant sales pitch. Be genuine in what you have to say and develop a deep interest in what your readers will really want to get out of a blog. Never use your blog as a sales tool but an informational tool to create a more informed visitor.
When you take the approach of providing useful information your blog because about something so much more. Your visitors begin to see you not as a business but as a resource for quality information on a key topic in your industry. You are beginning to position your firm as the industry leader.
Keyword Stuffing for SEO
If your main focus with your blog is about stuffing keywords into each article, it will not work. Readers and bots can tell when you are keyword stuffing. Focus on writing each blog to showcase your expertise. True thought leadership blog posts will generate links on their own and will start to come up naturally for search terms. You should think about SEO when creating title tags and headlines, but never stuff any element of your blog with keywords. With a lot of practice you will not need to even think about SEO because you will become so in-tuned with your industry that you naturally fulfill SEO requirements.
Not Setting Realistic Goals
A blog can have several goals from getting more RSS subscribers, sign ups for your newsletter, or having someone tweet your blog post. It will be up to you to define what you want your users to do when using your blog. At the same time it can take a long time to develop any sort of following so do not get discouraged. If your blog generates ten subscribers after a few months don't look at it as only ten, one of those ten could be a well known journalist who finds your blog informative. That one journalist could make all the difference in your blog. Set honest and realistic goals. Your first few blog posts might not even get a single reader. Just keep slowly building up quality content and eventually they will find you. All it takes is that one great blog post that garners a high authoritative link to make a huge difference in your traffic.

Great looking site! And good information too.
Question: How much emphasis do you put on an SEO rich domain name? As a painter targeting the apartment painting market, will owning apartment-painting.com be very helpful?

This a birthday gift. I sincerely hope that the recipient enjoys it.
Youre not going to find a cheaper tea infuser for the vast amount of quality in this product. A nice thick ceramic teapot w/ a large cup. Comes with a great stainless-steel infusion basket. Yes the teapot leaks from the spout a little bit but its nothing to cry about. Cup is perfect for making matcha as well.
*Always use filtered water(not distilled) for the best results
Super cute tea set. Great for home and office. Love how the tea pot brews exactly the right amount of tea that fits in the teacup!
this is soo cute lady like also bought the tea pot it matches have the onange mugs for a few months all goes together
This pot and mug combination is stylish, sleek, and compact idea for a single user. It would be nicer if it is a bit smaller. Also, it doesn't pour well as it drips while pouring! You need to wipe beneath it every time you pour. In terms of the size, be aware that it is 14 fl oz not 12 fl oz as the site says, if this is something you care about like me. Other than that, I liked it.

Fashion bombs spice up awards shows

Tonight's Academy Awards at the Kodak Theatre will salute the best in film, but outside on the red carpet, our eyes will be radar-ready for the worst in fashion.
After all, red carpet-bagging has become an awards season sport. At one time or another, a megastar with an army of stylists bombs big time, and makes us wonder, "Where the hell was the mirror?"
Nicki Minaj, apparently, didn't see her reflection in one before she left home for the recent Grammys, showing up in an outrageous nun's habit. Helena Bonham Carter seems to never get it right; she wore different-colored shoes at last year's Golden Globes. Tilda Swinton's avante garde style snagged a Hefty bag of a gown by Lanvin in 2008.
Celine Dion wore a backward men's inspired suit by Christian Dior to the Oscars in 1999. Cher, in 1986, could have dangled from the ceiling in her Cirque du Soleilesque Bob Mackie get-up; she channeled Mackie's saloon girl in 1998. Cameron Diaz, who has less-than-dazzled us for years, looked her worst in 1996 wearing a saggy sack of a coat that resembled a hand-me-down bathrobe.
Courtney Love was a hot mess in a shredded mess of a dress in 2000. Sharon Stone, in 2003, was a thud in a rock 'n' roll dominatrix-type flapper number. Gwyneth Paltrow, in 2002, had a droopy and lopsided bosom in a Christian Lacroix gown in need of a foundation garment. Charlize Theron (in 2010) wore a gown with fabric swirls over her breasts that looked like two giant cinnamon rolls.
Uma Thurman, in 2004, could have milked cows on the red carpet in her milkmaid-disarrayed Lacroix gown. In 2000, Angelina Jolie resembled Morticia from "The Addams Family" — and was not deserving of two snaps.
But Lara Flynn Boyle and Björk, in their swan dive designs, can claim the best of the worst. In 2001, Björk laid an egg with her swan dress at the Academy Awards. Two years later, Boyle hit the Golden Globes red carpet in a pink "Swan Lake" ballet disaster that proved to be ... well ... tutu much.

Sept. 14, 2010
The Cal State Northridge men's golf team posted team rounds of 297-288-285 to finish 10th in the Matadors' first tournament of 2010-11, the Palouse Cougar Collegiate at Palouse Ridge G.C.
The Matadors dug themselves a hole with an opening round 297 but steadily made their way up the leaderboard with rounds of 288 and 285 over the final two rounds. Northridge's score of 870 left them just four shots from ninth place. Washington State finished first for the second time in as many years as the Cougars (827) held off Idaho (839) by 12 strokes. Portland (847) was third, Santa Clara (85) was fourth and San Jose State (855) was fifth in the 16-team field.
Senior Nick Delio was the lone Northridge golfer to finish in the top-20 as he posted rounds of 74-71-70 to finish at one under-par 215. Sophomore Chris Russo was one shot back of Delio in 22nd place with rounds of 73-72-71. Russo finished at even par 216.
Satch Herrmann, playing his first tournament for the Matadors since the 2008-09 season, finished tied for 42nd with among others, teammate Arthur Chung. Hermann posted rounds of 76-72-72 while Chung checked in with rounds of 74-74-72. Both players were (+4) 220 followed by Davis Kirkland who finished tied for 52nd at (+5) 221 after rounds of 76-73-72.
Idaho had the top two golfers in the individual chase as Damian Telles won medalist honors with a blistering three round score of 15 under-par 201 which edged teammate Jarred Bossio by two shots.
Cal State Northridge returns to action Oct. 2-4 as the Matadors play in the Cabo Intercollegiate in Cabo San Lucas.

Adverts on police cars: Nottinghamshire force look for vehicle sponsorship to cope with cuts
Posted: January 28, 2014|
ADVERTS could soon be carried on Notts police cars as the force makes radical plans to cope with Government cuts.
Under the proposals, vehicles would be sponsored by local companies – and advertising hoardings could appear on police stations.
The idea is one of several strategies to cope with millions being wiped from the force's annual spending.
From April, the force's total budget for 2014-15 will be £193.8 million – compared with £196.9 million in the current year.
Related content
Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping told the Post that, as the budget fell by £3.1 million, the force also had to take into account rises in inflation and staff wages, meaning the loss for policing was closer to £12 million.
And he predicts that the annual budget will have fallen to around £120 million by 2020 due to further Government cuts.
Chief Constable Chris Eyre said radical plans, which also include closing police stations, were being considered so the force could still concentrate on fighting crime. Mr Eyre said: "We are working to identify whether or not there are opportunities for sponsorship on vehicles.
"It is an option to have 'this vehicle is sponsored by' and then a dealership name.
"Where we have buildings in prominent places, if there are possible spaces for advertising hoardings – we have to look at it on a case-by-case basis. The more we do these things, the more we can protect our service to the public."
The commissioner is today expected to publish his proposed budget for the force for the next 12 months.
The Post understands it will ask Notts taxpayers to pay 1.5 per cent to two per cent more for the policing part of their council tax bills – meaning Band D households would have to pay about £3.33 a year extra.
Other ideas to generate money include employing more civilian staff such as police investigation officers to guard crime scenes.
PRIVATE firms could pay Notts police for sponsorship and advertising deals on property including police cars and stations.
The idea, which is in its early stages, is among the more radical being researched to try to keep funding coming in to Notts police as central Government cash continues to shrink.
At least one force has already made the move.
In 2008, Sussex police struck a deal with crime author Peter James to have his name emblazoned on the side of a police car.
And Police and Crime Commissioner for Dorset Martyn Underhill was quoted in May as saying ideas for his county's force included adverts on police cars.
Notts Chief Constable Chris Eyre said sponsorship involving company logos on police cars, advertising hoardings and adverts on the police website were options that were being looked in to.
He said that if the move was made official, deals would be considered on a "case-by-case basis", adding that the changes could help protect funding and maintain police performance.
"The service we deliver is driving everything," he said.
Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping stressed that the advertising idea was in its early stages and said more radical plans were being considered because, as Government grants fell, the force wanted to find other ways of bringing money in. He said: "I think people are more realistic about the financial situation facing the police and all public services.
"We've done a lot of consultation about the latest budget. I did 150 meetings in the evenings in my first year of office and people accept there will be changes."
Notts Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, said there was an "acceptance" that funding levels were falling.
But Notts chairman Phil Matthews said other changes were leaving officers frustrated.
He said: "There's no money, so we've got to think outside the box.
"A few years ago we would have been horrified by the idea of advertising on police cars.
"But there is the acceptance that the money is not going to be there and if we can have this funding from a sponsor, we can keep going."
But he said that some officers felt a "continuing downward spiral" of frustration as cuts bit, with basic resources like stations and custody cells closing.
He added: "Some officers are thinking, 'how do I get enough hours in my day to prevent crime and detect things?'"
Of sponsorship deals, a Notts police spokeswoman added: "The details of this are still in their infancy and it has been acknowledged that any sponsorship will require tight control by the force."

Sculpting in wood has always been the primary avenue for my expression of inspirational moments. The very nature of wood: its sensuous feel, its beauty of grain, its composition of heart and sap wood, allows the sculptor to move chisels into, around and through the wood, in a poetic ballet of movement. It has been a life-long learning experience to work my creativity in an attempt to release figures, movements and expressions from within the depths of the wood.
I achieve a fine balance between the work of chiseling and the intricately delicate work of "feathering" my rice paper bird sculptures. Exploring plant fiber papers, or "rice" papers, has allowed me to study the complexity of bird and butterfly species. All of my birds and butterflies are life size and representative of their species. Whether cutting and adhering body and flight feathers to my birds or "veining" butterfly wings with silk thread, I take great satisfaction in detailed expression.
Welcome to my site.

There's court drama happening and for once it's not about Lindsay Lohan! This particular bout is going down between Rihanna and her former trainer, Cindy Percival. The nasty legal battle between them started when Percival sued Rihanna last year for supposedly locking her out of $26,144 in unpaid fees and travel expenses which she shelled out to meet the singer all over Europe.
Now, Rihanna has filed a countersuit in L.A. County Superior Court against Percival. She's claiming the story is full of BS, and that Percival's the one who stiffed Rihanna out of $26,244.63. Apparently, the trainer was given an advance of $24k for her services, but the money was never returned after she was fired last year. This one's getting personal!

Bearcat Volleyball Picked Third in NWC Behind Whitworth and PLU
SPOKANE, Wash. — Defending Northwest Conference volleyball champion Pacific Lutheran University will be challenged by Whitworth College, according to the 2005 preseason poll of NWC coaches. Whitworth and PLU each had 77 points in the poll, however Whitworth had four first place votes to the Lutes' three first place votes.
Whitworth returns five starters from 2004, including All-NWC hitter Julie Marsh. The Pirates finished 19-5 overall and 12-4 in the conference last season. The Lutes finished 17-7 overall and 15-1 in the NWC last fall, winning the title by two games. PLU must overcome the graduation of NWC Player of the Year Julie Locke, but welcomes back All-NWC hitter Stephanie Turner.
Willamette picked up a single first place vote and finished third in the poll with 58 points. The Bearcats, 19-6 overall and 13-3 in the NWC in 2004, will feature three sophomores who all started last season. Jordyn Smith, Jessica Drumm and Julie Christine will team with senior captains Roni Schneider and Kristin Kutara for a solid starting unit.

ABERDEEN, S.D. – (DRG News) Forecasters now say that parts of central South Dakota are no longer part of a Winter Storm Warning and instead are expecting a Winter Weather Advisory to remain in the forecast through tomorrow morning. The National Weather Service says since lower amounts of snow are falling than first believed, the change has been made in the weather forecast. Current forecasts are showing that the area will likely see a total of about 3-5 inches of snowfall tonight through tomorrow. Snow is melting in some areas where it has been falling so far today. The Weather Service says Winter Storm Warnings are still posted for counties southwest of the Pierre/Murdo area and the northeastern corner of the state has a Winter Storm Watch in effect for right now.
Looking ahead a few days, temperatures should improve and Renee Wise of the NWS says it's more likely that any precipitation we get will be in the form of rain, with the possibility that it will mix with or turn to snow in the evenings during the weekend.
With the cancellation of the Winter Storm Warning for central parts of the state, the Weather Service now has a Winter Weather Advisory in effect until seven tomorrow morning.

Hi guys.
I'm gonna call this one finished, although I might add some bombs to the empty pylons.
This kit was ok. Not the greatest fitting kit I've built and there are some trouble areas. The intakes are very difficult to make seamless...but it's doable. And the parts around the mouth of the intake didn't fit very tightly, either. The "hump" that runs from the canopy to the tail took alot of work, as well. The airbrake was a pain in the butt. I think they intended for it to be displayed open because it really didn't fit well at all. The seam where the wings meet the fuselage actually went together very snugly!
This kit is completely OOB. I only added a small tube for the APU exhaust, metal foil seat belts and some filler strips where I cut out the leading edge slats.
I drilled out the hole for the APU exhaust. The kit just has an indentation molded in. I used a piece of tube styrene to give it some depth.
In the pic above you can see that I glued the intake sub-assembly to the upper part of the fuselage. The directions called for it to be attached to the lower part. I found that it was easier to get a more seamless intake by attaching it to the upper half instead.
I sanded off the lame seatbelt detail on the seat and made my own seat belts out of metal foil tape.
To make the leading edge slats I just cut along the panel lines.
The instrument panel sat about 1.5mm higher than the glare shield. I looked at alot of photos of Typhoons and it looked like it was flush on the real plane so I filled it in with putty and smoothed it out.
I cut the burner cans so that I could paint the engine parts separately.
I'm not sure if I'd recommend this kit or not. Those intake seams are a real bear and the dorsal spine/air brake was more work than it should have been. If you've got the patience and are willing to put in some extra time then this can be a fun kit. If you've been spoiled by Tamiya F-16s and Hasegawa Super Hornets this kit will slap you in the face.
Thanks for looking!
Whatever problems you encountered during the build, you certainly overcame them "swimmingly!" What an amazing job! Thanks for sharing.....and inspiring!
You did a great job on your build! I have the Italeri Eurofighter and I`m wondering if it`s a re-box of the Revell kit?
Len Pytlewski
I agree, you did a great job! Very nice outcome indeed. Thanks for sharing it with us.
"All you mugs need to get busy building, and post pics!"
Looks great!
Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments.
I did some photo searches and realized that the rear of the canopy should be touching the aircraft instead of being suspended in mid air like it is on my build so I cut it off and fixed it. I'll get a pic of the correction. The kit directions were completely unhelpful there.
Great looking model and nice job on the modifications you made to enhance the kit!
Just because no one understands you- it doesn't make you an artist!
Great looking kit. You nailed the sheen, did you finish it in satin or flat?
Hot build!
I've got the 1/32 version kicking around...trying to come up with some decent markings. I get so tired of all of the "just gray" birds these days. May have to do something a bit more "future" or "what if".
Whatever troubles she gave you, you handled very well! Nice job!!!
Great looking build! I'm into the 1/32 version now, and your tip about the assembling the intake to the upper fuse will save me lots of aggravation - I could see the fit problem coming, but not the solution. Thanx for the info and the inspiration!
Thanks again for the comments guys.
Here's a pic with the corrected canopy. Instead of being suspended in mid air its now in its correct position:
...as opposed to this:
Hercmech, thanks. I wet sanded the primer coat and the base color coat with 8000 grit sand paper to make it nice and smooth. I also brushed on a coat of Future for decal application. The final touch was Model Master Acryl flat clear coat. The MM flat clear tends to leave a little sheen on top of a Future coat.
Dupes, funny that you would mention the paint scheme. As soon as I finished it I thought "Wow, that is a really boring paint job!" Basically the entire plane is dark ghost grey. Don't get me wrong...its accurate, but it would look alot better with some kind of desert camo or something like that.
I always try to include the box art in case anyone wants to know which kit this is specifically:
Seriously, man. ANY camo! Desert, Jungle, Aggro, whatever. This modern a/c trend toward dull gray has got me down in the dumps!
wow great job! looks very neat. I like it a lot. one of my favourite planes
"Superiority is our priority"
Wet sanding is not something I have built up enough courage to try on a finished paintjob yet...but looking at how it comes out I will have to give it a try.

Brendan Rodgers has tabled two bids for the England international - the last a take-it-or-leave-it £25m - with Liverpool hopeful they would be able to move the deal forward once Saints announced Ronald Koeman as their new manager.
But the Dutchman's arrival does not appear to have altered Southampton's stance, with executive director Les Reed adamant Lallana, or any other player, will not leave St Mary's unless it makes financial sense for the south coast club.
"Lallana's been here long enough, we've brought him to this level and we feel that perhaps he should give it a little bit longer," he told BBC South Today.
"Anybody seriously considering coming for our players is going to have to think very significantly about the size of the fee.
"If we do take money it will be because it's the right amount and it enables us to improve the team and move forward."
Southampton are holding out for more money for Lallana as they owe former club Bournemouth a 25 per cent sell on fee.
