Remove and repair flakes, chips, dents, dings and scratches on your car's finish before the rust sets in. It takes just a few minutes of your time over a few days. These great auto painting tips and techniques will show you how to touch-up those little eyesores and take years off the look of your car.
Micro applicators, paint syringes and a spot-sanding tool help you touch up like a pro.
Apply several light coats of rust converter with a foam brush, allowing proper drying time between coats. Use a new brush for each coat.
Use an artist's brush to apply several light coats of paint to dents. Allow the paint to dry between coats.
Use the spot-sanding tool to clean rust out of scratches. Apply gentle pressure to prevent enlarging the scratch.
Fill the paint syringe and apply gentle pressure as you fill in the scratch. Start at one end and work toward the other. (We started in the middle to show you the effect.)
Buy micro applicators to touch up paint chips.
Over the years, you've probably acquired your fair share of scratches, dents with flaking paint, and paint chips on "Old Reliable." And if you're like most people, you've been ignoring them. But all those insults are either already rusting or soon will. By investing very little time over several days, you can stop the rust in its tracks, touch up your car's finish and get your vehicle back into reasonable shape—all for less than $100.
First, we have to caution you not to develop unrealistic expectations—you cannot achieve body shop results in your driveway. But our techniques will make the blemishes less noticeable and delay the onset of rust-through.
Start your touch-up project by getting the proper paint color. The dealer usually sells 1/2-oz. vials of touch-up paint and clear coat for about $8 each. But call the parts department first to see if your color is in stock (have your VIN handy). One vial is enough to repair about two dozen small paint chips. If you need more than a few vials, search for a larger bottle on the Internet. Most auto parts sites explain how to find the paint code for your vehicle. Expect to pay $20 to $30 for a 2-oz. bottle of paint.
To fix scratches and paint chips, you'll need a spot-sanding tool (see Photo 3; $8) and professional micro applicators and paint syringes ($7 to $9 each). The small applicators deliver just the right amount of paint to chips. For scratches, use the paint syringes to apply a continuous coat of paint. For small dents and dings, apply paint with a 1/4-in. artist's brush ($10 at any art supply store).
At an auto parts store, pick up a can of wax and grease remover ($4), and if you already have rust forming, an assortment of sandpaper grits and a bottle of brush-on rust converter ($7).
Before starting any of the repairs, wash your vehicle. Let it dry and apply the wax and grease remover with a clean rag to the areas you're touching up.
If you have flaking paint with exposed rust, pick away the loose paint with a small screwdriver or putty knife. Then sand off the surface rust with 150-grit sandpaper. Switch to 600-grit sandpaper to feather the painted edges around the spot. Also use the spot-sanding tool to remove rust from scratches and larger paint chips. Remove the sanding dust with a clean rag. Then follow the instructions on the bottle of rust converter and use a foam brush to apply a thin coating to the area. For scratches, use a paint syringe to apply the converter. Allow it to dry thoroughly. Most rust converters dry to form a primer coat and don't require additional primer, but double check the directions.
If you don't have any rust and the factory primer is visible, you can skip those steps and proceed with painting.
Shake the paint vial or stir the bottle for the recommended time to ensure the metallic flakes are suspended in the paint. For dents, use the artist's brush to apply a light coat of paint to the treated area. Use several thin coats rather than a single thick one. Lightly sand each coat with 600-grit sandpaper after it dries. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for drying time between coats. Clean the brush with the recommended solvent between coats.
To repair paint chips, select a micro applicator that's slightly smaller than the chip. Once again, apply several thin coats, rather than a blob of paint. Thick blobs skin over and then sink as they dry, leaving an ugly divot.
To repair scratches, apply the brush head to the syringe and load it with a small amount of paint. Then apply light pressure to the plunger as you guide the brush head all along the scratch.

Discussion in 'October 2012' started by BillLaimbeer, Oct 9, 2012.
I like BoT better than Prince. That is the only endorsement I can give at this stage.
Darko was young and kept his mouth shut. He whined a little bit about "vanting tu ply" but other than that, he sat on the end of the bench stoic and indifferent (his indifference is my primary beef with him actually). The fact that he was 18 and European also led to a lot of fans cutting him some slack. This Pistons were also winning so there wasn't a lot of pressure on him. I often forgot that Darko was even on the team when he was in Detroit. BoT represented a somewhat sizable FA signing for the Pistons and most people feel that he's done absolutely nothing to earn his money. He's been with the Pistons through some of their worst years in a long time and for many, he's the "face of futillity". In the same way that we refer to that point in the 90's as the "Teal" years, perhaps we can look back on recent times as the "Turd" years. Charlie uses his twitter feed to tweet pics of himself planking, going to baseball games/nightclubs, traveling, etc. As a fan, I've always been under the impression that nobody on the Pistons is having more fun than Charlie. I think a lot of people feel that Charlie hasn't earned the right to have fun. I think that people either want him to play up to his contract or shut up, collect his money and wait patiently until his deal expires. The thing that irks me about him lately is this whole "Sauna Cycling"/"Boxing workout" thing and the fact that he has to let the world know every time he does a freaking sit-up. We get it, you feel embarrased that John Calipari called you a fatso and cut you from the mighty Dominican Republic squad. You should feel embarrassed you jackass! We don't need to see sweaty pics of you getting your "gym flow" on. You have to admit, he's pretty defensive for a guy who has no idea what 'defense' is.
This assessment of Tayshaun Prince was right-on. You sir, shoud be the beat writer covering the Pistons and providing expert analysis!
It wasn't like Ben Gordon had a ton of fans in Detroit either but he did have his body of work with the Bulls to at least make people wonder that maybe the Pistons were the problem. There was no denying that he was a force in Chicago no matter how many 16 minute 0-5 nights he had here. Chuckles can't get the basic concepts of don't front the other teams player out to half court when he's trying to post up, don't use a 2 handed shove to the back or a wild karate chop as your main defensive strategies that would allow him to be a Ryan Anderson type guy off the bench. His hoop IQ is so low that you can't cover for him or hide him on D. I can't tell if he is uber soft or uber dumb, but those qualities matched with his delusional tough guy persona makes him very dislikable. I would have been very excited had the Pistons drafted CCG but where we sit today I would take Darko on my team every single time. I could post pictures of myself nightly where I am covered in sweat after a workout and I'm a 42 year old working father of 2 kids ages 5 and 3.
I didn't get to see the game so thanks to all ya'll for posting your observations. Shout out to BDL, this was golden. In the highlights Monroe dumps a pass to BK or someone and there were two guys curling to the basket at the same time. That's awesome. Movement. I like Frank's offensive sets WAY more than pass it around for a jump shot then stack your team with jump shooters.
This. Seriously. And him advertising all that crap that much only made me want him gone sooner. Great post BDL. Side note: Tay sort of looks like a fossil running around out there with all these young players.
It makes me so happy to read something like this, how long as it been since we had such a presence in the post..
My favorite player during the Going to Work era was Ben Wallace. Going back to the years with Cliff Robinson, Mikki Moore,Eric Montross and the Alternatorz, Ben Wallace was the centerpiece of a scrappy, hard working team that played for 48 minutes every night. They excelled at the little things, like playing great team defense, making the extra pass, setting solid picks and good screens. To me, Charlie Villaneuva is the polar opposite of that team, and signals the true end of an era. He plays weak defense, and when he does try, it's completely ineffective. He takes lousy shots. He puts his heart into his tweets instead of his game. He chucks up shots. I probably hate the guy (as a player) a little more than he deserves, but if I had to sum up what I dislike about the NBA in one player, it would Charlie.
Can someone please post a picture of Tommy G from this game? I understand he looked amazing.
I couldn't find one from when they showed him dancing with Hooper (Hooper btw looks much more athletic this year). When TG and Hoop were bustin' moves, he reminded me of the classic "drunk uncle" that shows up to every wedding that you've ever been to and puts on a clinic on the dance floor. Here's a shot of Tom rocking some acid washed bell-bottoms paired with my 4-year-old son's Piston polo shirt.
My thoughts: It took me about 45 seconds to start longing for a substitution. Impressive debut by Dre. I think the ally ops in the beginning helped him alot. Did anyone else notice the jumper he threw at the basket in the second quarter when the ref had blown the whistle? The ball was never above the rim and it was a couple of yards wide. JJ provided some nice energy. I was skeptic to him as a 3 but after seeing him in the swedish national team and watching him run the offense I'm starting to come around to the idea. Not because it's impressive to average 5 assists against a bunch of scrubs but it showed that he's not as one-dimensional as his 0.3 APG shows. The regular stuff from Monroe, Max, Prince and Stuck. Monroe is good, Max bores me, Prince bores me even more and Stuck is Stuck. BK looks ripped! Chaz. I don't recall who wrote it but I much rather see Maggette than Tay on the floor. And I'm not that keen on watching Bad Porn. Impressive show by Gores. Ken? TRG? Flynn? Pippa? Sunshine? T-Broke? I guess those guys will play tonight and I'm excited to watch them but I bet the regular season games will look like the one tonight from a line up standpoint...
I'm guessing that LF would rather play guys normal minutes in the 2nd game and sit players from game 1 out than just try to squeeze everybody in each game. That makes sense is that turns out to be his philosophy.
My quick takeaways: Happy to see just 10/11 players a night as long as we see the whole squad. Really liked the fast tempo at the start, but it was mostly gone after the first quarter. BK: bigger and better! Monroe: tried to force it too much - just like when I use him in 2K13 Drummond: Solid. Looked really lost a few times on offence but to be expected. already has more "plays of the day" than most of the Pistons roster Stuckey: also solid. BK and him should cause some havoc as BK gets better - that double split to the basket and feed from Drum was beautiful to watch JJ: real good - getting his own through his hustle Max: solid - say what you will, but defends well and manages to hit those wide open shots when it ends up with him even though he gets limited opportunity. Magette: will be handy of the bench for bit minutes BoT: looked more active but still full of sh... Prince: played his role Bynum: more feeds less dribble like this game is good. Love the full court hustle
I think so too and I like this strategy. I just believe the rotations in the regular season will be alot more like the first preseason game than the second so I was a bit disappointed about not seeing Ken and TRG on the floor. I hope they impress tonight.
GAME 2 of the Pistons/Raptors Home and Home Series is tonight at 7pm. It's on Fox Sports Detroit for me, which probably means similar TV availability for you non-Michigan cats as Wednesday.
Loved hearing Special-K call Stuckey a "bowling ball" after he knocked two defenders to the floor on one of his drives at the end of the 3rd. Some people like highlight dunks... Some people like buzzer beater threes... I like watching a dude snag a defensive rebound and then beat everyone down back down the floor to receive a pass for an easy hoop. Dennis Rodman used to do this 3-4 times a game. Jonas did it at least twice against Toronto.
NBAtv tonight I believe... hope it's true. Looking forward to seeing Flynn and Slava do their imitation of WB and Drum.
If the Pistons have a starting lineup that includes Stuckey, Maxiel, and Prince, I will predict there will be NO PLAYOFFS this year. These guys are bad. It's nice that Maxiel and Prince played the ENTIRE 3rd quarter. We need to figure out what these guys can contribute.
I am watching it right now Bill...you are correct these guys are dreadful...Seems like I am looking at last years team. All three of these guys should be coming off the bench, but that would mean starting Bynum........ They are down 58-54 at the end of 3.....
The 4th quarter will at least be interesting to watch. We've got: PG-Bynum SG-Williams F - Singler F - Daye C - Russian dude Williams looks pretty fast taking guys off the dribble and then dishing. Daye looks more muscular. Must have been doing lots of push-ups. All he is doing, though, is fouling people and whining to the refs.

Viruses in the skin are responsible for the abnormal growth of skin cells that we call warts. While warts may not be visually appealing, they are quite harmless. However, depending on where they develop, they can sometimes be uncomfortable, particularly on the soles of the feet.
Warts usually disappear on their own without any treatment, although this may take as long as a couple of years. If the warts are uncomfortable, if they become infected or bleed, or if your child is self-conscious about them, talk to your doctor about treating and removing them. The pediatrician might recommend daily applications of a non-prescription salicylic-and-lactic acid solution on the wart; after a few months the wart might fall off. However, this kind of treatment is time-consuming and unpredictable. Warts can also be removed by surgery, freezing, or electrical cauterization.

Azealia Banks has been slammed after calling gossip blogger Perez Hilton a "faggot" in a series of homophobic tweets.
The controversial rapper turned on Hilton after he took the side of Angel Haze in a spat between the two up-and-coming stars which saw them release online diss tracks about each other.
She went on to call the openly gay blogger a "messy faggot" alongside other slurs about his homosexuality.
After receiving a storm of criticism over her comments, the BBD rapper defended what she said with a tweet: "A faggot is not a homosexual male. A faggot is any male who acts like a female. There's a BIG difference."
She went on to say sorry to any who had been indirectly offended by her comments.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) denounced Banks' comments, saying her words would be interpreted as bullying no matter what her intention.
"What matters is the meaning given to that word by those who hear it, and the damage it causes when they do. Undoubtedly there are gay kids who follow her on Twitter who hear this word in an entirely different context. This word is used almost universally by bullies, often as part of a larger verbal or physical assault. This word hurts those kids, no matter what Banks meant by it."
GLAAD went on to a series of recent assaults on homosexual men where the slur was used by the assailants.
"It is an ugly, archaic word that was used to stigmatize a population of people who suffer high rates of violence both here in the U.S. and abroad."
Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears, who has collaborated with Banks, also criticised her language.
He said the word was offensive.
"It all about context. And right now, I'm sorry, but context is not on your side."

text: Just started the gluten free diet for my DH a few weeks ago &, WOW, what a difference it has made in him. There is a lot of gluten free stuff out there, but very costly. You will also have to worry about cross contamination. Like butter , mayo, stuff like that can't be used for both diets. A good site to go to for info & sign up for weekly free recipes is http://www.livingwithout.com This site really helped me to convert over. You will have to watch for warnings on labels of things that have no gluten in them, but are processed in a wear house that also process wheat, barley & rye. Those items will be cross contaminated so stay away from them too. The main thing to remember is to read everything. It is a shock to switch over to start with, but really does get easier. Another no no is caramel. I made it easier on my self by getting rid of everything in the house that would cross contaminate his food. With it only being just him & myself, it was easy to do, but with a family may be harder.

He looks so skinny.
Tomas's jumps are OK. At least they looked OK in real time. The tech controller today is pretty strict.
Normally, Tomas should be in 1st.

I wasn't fast enough.
YAY!!! I'm so happy Tomas won the SP! I was really cheering for him to do well! I'd LOVE to see him win this event!
WOW! Who would have thought Ponsero would place the highest of the Frenchmen? *stunned*

Another new bee-havior has happened for me.
Several hundred of my bees have decided to stand on my hive window. The past two months I've happily been watching them crawling all over the combs and now I'm looking at a bunch of bellies every day. I found the behavior called washboarding but they aren't licking (when I've looked anyway)....more like loitering! It's both workers and a few drones. They walk around some but that's it. This has happened since the really hot day when so many were bearding but never happened before that.
Does this indicate overcrowding ?
I've been thinking they'd swarm on me any day but conditions haven't been good(dearth and wind). Not as many have been flying since the hot day either. I decided to feed them again since they'd been stressed and they are taking it but not fast. They are still building comb on spaces I've made so everything else seems normal. I guess I better inspect for queen cups soon as I haven't gone all the way forward in over a month. HB

Discussion Minutes for October 12th,2011
I. Roll Call
II. Approval of Minutes
III. Approval of Agenda
IV. Guest Speaker
· Celebrationof Scholarship-Robin Bingham & Christina Buchanan: Thank you very much forgiving me the opportunity to talk here tonight about celebration ofscholarship. I met with Sarah several times this semester, and there were a fewpeople that were not aware of this event, so we can get feedback from constituentsto spread it more widely. Give more background to the value of the event and itsphilosophy, to get feedback of what students think of the event or how to makeit better. One thing that I think is a little confusing is the name, what doesthe name mean? 'Celebration of scholarship' it is not about people gettingscholarships, but it means that you are learning in particular disciplines.What this event is about is undergraduate scholarship here at Western, originalresearch and inquiry, including creative activity. They want to promote thisfor all of campus to be a part of. We want it to be inclusive, so maybe thename should be changed. Faculty mentor that makes an original contribution to abody of work. We want to enhance academic opportunities for WSC students, tomake them more authentic and meaningful, outside the classroom. The faculty hasthe ability to develop professionally. Foster interdisciplinary and the goalsof liberal arts, where this event really offers that. Philosophicallyundergraduate students have many benefits, by growing intellectually, gainknowledge and skills, and achievement, and promoting personal growth. Providesand opportunity to stretch yourself beyond the classroom. You can gain specificskills and knowledge for the field your diving into. It can lead to personaladvancement, and professional growth. Now a day, doing undergraduate level iscritical to make the next step to graduate school, they expect you are doing orhave done some type of research. There are a lot of advantages and benefits tostudent. Benefits to faculty: enhance mentor and teach, increases jobsatisfaction. Benefits to college: Builds community, deepen relationships withalumni, fosters cross talk between disciplines. What it is, it happens twice ayear at the end of every semester, all students are accepted to present. Theyinclude a poster session and oral presentations. We have students at alllevels. Freshman-seniors presenting their own scholarship, so you can seestudents grow throughout their years. This semester is Tuesday November 29th12:30-2:00, and then in the spring. Get feedback; talk with constituents, onthe event and what we can get out of it, to serve the students the best theycan. What about devoting an entire day to the event and cancel class,performances, art displays, it could be fabulous. And any suggestions for amore inclusive name.
· Howdo you get involved?
o Somepeople have been involved through specific classes, other students may be doingindependent work, independent study, and so it is open to anybody presentingtheir work.
o Abstractsare due by November and they make space and time
o Webpage:Academics->Interest to students->Celebration of scholarship, at bottomyou will see "submit abstracts now".
o Ifit is required for a class, do you still have to submit an abstract
o Emails
V. Action Items
· WildlifeSociety Bill
o Motionto give $1,000 (Adam)
§ Second
§ 11/12, passes
· AdventureFilm Festival Bill
o (Alan)Motion to allocate $800
o Thebudget committee recommended 800 for advertising and film rights, and takingout of venue. We talked it over as a group, and we think it will be going outto more students than previously thought. If people can't get into the firstmovie, then they will get a ticket for the second showing, to allow them to seethe second movie if first one is filled. So the potential number could reach1,000 students. Also questions about the venue, Ben mentioned some of themovies are in hi-def, which is high resolution, premiers at Taylor are free,but how much will it improve? Is there new equipment-perhaps the one thing nottouched, Redbull and Frontier want a more hi-def venue, because it matters howit is perceived. As a student body if they are reaching out to this manypeople, it is like a Spirngfest in the fall semester, and we hope this is anannual sustainable event. If we reach out to roughly ½ the student body, thenit will be about $1.50/student. Movie starts at seven.
o Threeor four clubs are associated with the film festival. Students are not able to see both films?
§ It is up to luck and timing, first comefirst serve. You cannot get 2 tickests if you go
§ Alan: I motion to allocate $800
· Motionsecond
· 12/12Passes, Action Adventure Film Fest
· Honors Bill

Training Question
I've had my eye on this course for too long now, and intend to have a crack at it in January. One question though, is the course something I can do 100% in my own time? Or will I need to be available at specific times for parts of the training?
Also is it formally still called OSCP? I remember hearing something about name changes to penetration testing with backtrack or something?

The most striking reminder of the threat to buildings featured on the Providence Preservation Society's "2010 Ten Most Endangered Properties" list is that Brownell & Field Company at 119 Harris Avenue, which the society highlighted because it feared it would be torn down, was approved for demolition on September 20 by the city's Historic District Commission. The owner has let the three-story brick industrial building fall into disrepair, which sapped its historical value. "The hands of the commission were tied in this matter," the PPS notes, "as owner neglect is not reason enough to deny an application for demolition." So the society calls for new standards and guidelines to prevent "demolition by neglect."
The Preservation Society brings attention to these endangered species with an exhibit of photos of the properties at Chabot Fine Art Gallery (379 Atwells Avenue, Providence, through October 16).
Traer Scott photographs the interior of the 1828 Arcade at 130 Westminster Street, which the Preservation Society fears could lose its historic design to renovation. Scott captures the building's signature mix of massive Greek revival columns and the airy skylit interior in green and gray photos with a washed out tone. This gives the photos a classic feel, recalling Currier & Ives prints.
Andrew Dernavich offers handsome black-and-white photos of the stone exterior and clock tower steeple of the Cathedral of St. John at 271 North Main Street, which the society says is deteriorating due to deferred maintenance, though it notes that the church is looking into restoration.
Adam Hall documented the George C. Arnold Building at 98 Washington Street, Providence National Bank Building façade at 50 Weybosset Street, and the Teste Block at 88 Dorrance Street, which could face demolition. Hall's grainy soft-focus photos give the images a faded, antique look.
Brian McDonald photographs Brownell & Field Company and Terminal Warehouse Co. at 338 Allens Avenue, which the Preservation Society says is threatened by neglect and possible demolition. Deb Hickey paints the Kendrick-Prentice-Tirocchi House at 514 Broadway, a grand Italianate "Wedding Cake House" dating to the 1860s, which suffers from deterioration.
Frank Mullin captures sunlight raking across the towers of Rhode Island Hospital's 1900 Southwest pavilion at 593 Eddy Street, which the Preservation Society says has been left to fall into "an extreme state of disrepair" and fears could be demolished. Stephanie Alvarez Ewens photographs the graffitied Temple Beth El (Shaare Zedek Synagogue) on Broad Street, which suffers from vacancy and deterioration. Michael Cevoli records the beautiful spiraling wooden stairs in the 19th-century Atlantic Mills Towers at 100 Manton Avenue, which the Preservation Society says are falling into disrepair, and the wreckage at the 1901 Grove Street Elementary School at 95 Grove Street, which the owners began demolishing without proper permits in 2007, but that was stopped by police; the case has since been in and out of court.
Many of these historic structures are gorgeous, but most of the photos are just okay. The takeaway: even photographing beautiful buildings isn't an easy thing.
The title of the "Chromophilia" exhibit at Craftland (235 Westminster Street, Providence, through October 10) focuses our attention on the bright colors of contemporary studio jewelry, which follows the 1980s revival — a la American Apparel — throughout fashion. But the bigger trend that curators Devienna Anggraini and Islay Taylor identify is a Post-Modern, catholic use of a wide variety of non-precious materials.

text: 1) 8-8 Season. Jerry's mad. There will be uncomfortableness. 2) RB coach fired 3) D Coordinator fired with poor examples as to why he is fired. Then a follow up saying that it was the team, not just the defense...yet the O Coordinator and HC are still around. 4) An older D Coordinator is hired whose recent stints in college didn't work but he is a guru when in the NFL. Will his system still work? Do we have the guys to fit it? Does D Ware fit? What about safeties? 5) Do we have a new OC or not? Will one be hired from outside or from within? Is this smoke? 6) John Garrett looking for jobs 7) Is Jason safe? 99% sure yes but we never get anything definitive out of the team as of direction. I said this last week..and I caught grief...but, I'm sorry, this whole off season so far has seemed by the seat of its pants. I understand that we have some media driven stories because this is the Cowboys but overall I don't think this is how they wanted things to go down. I'm not sure if "uncomfortable" was planned. It wouldn't have happened with a win in DC so this wasn't exactly planned but came about because of 8-8 and DC loss. I want to think it has been well thought out but I think there is an undercurrent and tension hidden under all of this where the team is still trying to figure out how far "uncomfortable" goes. In all honestly, part of me thinks Jerry would love to fire Garrett but at the same time wants to look patient and will let him dig his own grave. I really don't know. Maybe its all the threads but this is just messy. I'd love to be set and get on to the draft. And the 7 points have rhetorical questions in there. Just stating what has been discussed.

Vampires, Ghosts Aren't Real, Says Physicist
POSTED: 8:21 am CDT October 27, 2006
WASHINGTON -- Think those squeaking floorboards are caused by a ghost? One University of Central Florida professor said forget it.
It's the season for vampires, ghosts and zombies. And physicist Costas Efthimiou wants to remind us that they're not real.
Efthimiou used science and mathematics to skewer Casper. Here's his logic: He said it violates Newton's law of action and reaction. The prof said if ghosts can walk, their feet would apply force to the floor. But if ghosts are able to go through walls they are without substance.
Efthimiou said you can't have it both ways, ghosts are either material or material-less.
Zombies and vampires fare even worse under his skeptical microscope.
The professor took out the calculator to prove that if a vampire sucked one person's blood each month, after a couple of years there would be no people left, just vampires. He started his calculations with just one vampire and 537 million humans on Jan. 1, 1600 and showed that the human population would be down to zero by July 1602.
All this may seem obvious, but to scientists, the public often isn't as skeptical as you might think. The physicist points to National Science Foundation reports showing widespread belief in pseudosciences such as vampires, astrology and ESP.
But Efthimiou said he has nothing against horror movies. He said he's a big fan of "The Ring."

there's also cardboard, cutting up streetsigns, and foamspray.
Just kidding, but I have seen all of that with the exception of streetsigns, but I have heard a lot about them being discovered.

I did a model A coupe years ago that had a quarter patch panel made from a license plate.
of course. Embossed metal is more structurally sound.
LOL. I have already admitted to more than I am happy about. I'll bet every one of us made up some of our own rules when we were just starting our love affair with the American Hot Rod. With a 14 dollar a week paycheck a quart of Bondo from the Western Auto was extravagant.
By the way, It takes a good metal man to hammer, dolly, and pick a license plate smooth.
John L
I have a suggestion, you could clean out the pits completely and cut a thin piece of sheet metal to cover the area (like 24 ga) then bond it on with 3M 08115 Autobond adhesive. Make certain that you cover the whole piece and get some into the holes. Then skim it with filler. If you do it on clean metal it could last the life of the car.
I've used this stuff quite a bit. (steel to steel; fiberglass to steel) I bonded two pieces of 24 ga together and tried to tear them apart and the metal tore around the bonded area without breaking the bond.
I use this to repair rusted 1/4 pnl edges and door skin edges.
the key is to get the metal clean and get adhesion.
Hi,Just to add what i have learned in the great white north and tons of salt on the roads around me,plus my dad was in the car business 50 years as well.I will tell what worked for me and what i found that had lasted when i opened spots like this to repair them...the key to a repair like this is to get the rust out,there are many rust treatments that are very good,(look for phosoric acid on the contents list but the key is to neutralize it properly or the filler wont stick).When i view his photos,i see many dark rust spots,i would first grind the area,then use a stainless wheel on a 4 or 5 inch hand grinder,then neutralize.use the wire wheel again.after you think its clean, take a sharpened centre punch and hammer it thru the weak spot.You need to open a hole for the filler material to push thru and solidify in place,while slightly depressing the metal add thickness to help the barrier.(you will see a small *** form that when solid will hold the filler in place.Once these rusty areas have been filled with whatever water resistant filler you favour(canadian spelling..lol) you can use any bondo.You need to create a water barrier that will keep in place so more filler is better than less pushed thru.I have some 30 year old repairs that have not bubbled on cars that have survived even though done in this used car fashion.Fiberglass matt and resin works best but a fiberglass filler is ok as long as it is not bondo with fiberglas bits added.Most bondo's hold moisture and thats what started the problem.I have had good luck with brazing up a small rust hole(the factories brazed them til the 70's).Most prople who condemn brazing simply havent learned to neutralize the acids in it.The easiest way to do that is to leave it open to our air a few days and the flux residue will react to the air itself,though you could help it with some moisture,all this is in addition to a thorough cleaning of your braze joint or spot.I do like the adhesive idea though i havent tried it but they did replace brazing with adhesives in car roof attachment.I have had cars from all over North America and it amazes me what will stay in place stuffed into a rust spot in the west or the praries but will fall out in 6 months in the east, which is my world..lol.may i suggest that you fellows do what i do to keep rust at bay..spray them inside and out with used oil..its cheap and works really well,though for my everyday wheels i use a service that cant by law use oil anymore and has a commercial spray that is just ok..but if for most of these minor rust issues a good shot of oil will keep it from advancing too much,just repeat every year..all the best p.s...i was just thinking that about this,starting with a clean slate as this chap is,i would clean the metal i suggested the use the adhesive like the waterproof filler to seal the hole and place the steel patch overtop as was suggested,its all about a waterproof barrier and that should be very easy to do for a first attempt. again all the best,mark trafford.Mark Trafford :: pure voice
Thanks again for the input, although some of these techniques would require just as much time and effort as cutting and welding in new metal, I still appreciate the input.
I think what I am going to try will be:
Expose and clean affected metal on both sides with wire wheel/brush
Clean metal with Metal Ready (similar to ospho)
Wire brush again
Punch in center of heavily pitted spots
Fill those spots with Everglass or Epoxy cement with fiberglass in it, making sure to fill completely
Nub down any riased spots of the glass filler
Lay Glazecoat over entire area and sand to blend
Lay down primer
Lay down paint and blend as best I can
Spray cavity wax to the door's interior panel
Drive it and smile!
One thing that was suggested to me was to use an enamel primer and paint over the cheap Earl Shieb paint. Something like Rustoleum. Any problems with that.
I also have some of this: Metal-2-Metal. Would this product work as well as the everglass or epoxy? I do know the stuff is as hard as nails and does not sand easily. Any money I can save by using stuff I already have will be a plus.
You've gotten a lot of good options. I'll add just one thing that will maybe keep things in check awhile longer. Any place that you can access the area behind those bubble you should take a look and see if you can see any moisture building up or sitting in contact with the metal.
I've seen door bottoms rust out from the weep holes being blocked. I even had a car once that I kept hearing what I thought was gasoline sloshing around in the tank. I eventually had a look around and discovered the passenger door was about 1/4 full of water! A quick inspection showed thw slotted weep holes were plugged and I ran a hacksaw blade in the slot and water poured out for 10 minutes!
Once any areas that hold water are drained, or weep holes are opened, then you can address the inside. Rust neutralizer on the inside once it's dry, will slow the problem down, and allow whatever patch you do to last longer. After neutralizing, you can paint the area with Rustoleum to keep things from rusting again right away.
One thing that I believe is better than anything here in the rust belt to keep your car from rusting is to keep it clean. Not just the outside of the body--the underside as well. I run my daily drivers through a car wash that also does the underside about once a week in the winter. I have a 2000 Grand Caravan and the underside looks almost new. My dad never washed his (also a 2000) and the underside was so rusty it was almost unbelievable. He needed to replace his brake lines, rear heat tubes, part of the fuel lines and a gas tank strap. All of mine aren't even rusty.
Keeping the drain holes open is very necessary as well. My first car (1964 GTO) had the rocker panels full of water when I bought it (1975) and when I drained them out it looked like someone filled them with top soil. Fortunately the rockers on those cars were galvanized. (the only part in those days)
Sand. Apply "Rust-Mort." Bondo. Primer. Paint. (Be careful it's acid and it turn rust to metal.) No kiddin. It works really good.
You really NEED epoxy primer over the bare metal BEFORE any filler I prefer epoxy glue like JB weld to fill the pits....
Ospho does NOT need to be neutralized ,its resistant to water ...
[QUOTE=RatPin;1631875]A couple weeks back I picked up a '59 bel air that had a cheap paint job done about 7 years ago (Earl Shieb). It had some blistering at the bottom of the doors and on the rockers. Now keep in mind I bought this car for a driver and I don/t want to dig into it too deep since I am already up to my elbows in another frame up build. I want to do a quick fix on the areas pictures below. Quick fix meaning no cutting or welding, and yes I know it will be just covering it up to a degreea and I'm sure it will rear it's ugly head again at some point down the road, but for now I just want it smooth and protected as best it can be without adding metal and doing it (properly).
Please lend advice as to what you might think would work best to seal this up for as long as possible. I was thinking to just wire it clean from the outside, put some Metal Ready on it and then skim it over with All Metal or similar product.
Again, I know to most and even to me this seems like doing a hack job, but right now I just want to have it smooth and be able to drive it while I finish my other project. I can do it right at a later date when I have the time and shop space to do so.
Just my two cents but once the rust starts, you'll never stiop it.
If I was trying to cover it, I'd indent the area slightly and skim coat it with filler. Because its in the door, you cannot probibly get to the back of it. Sealing the back of it from air and water using undercoating will slow the decay but never stop it.
the key is encapsulating the area from air and moisture. My fix is Not the correct way but will last for a while.
Rust Mort will stop the rust dead in it's tracks. We had a spot on a blazer a year ago that was bare matal and still no rust.

Welcome aboard Doc. Thank you for your service!
Just saying hi to all the other gun nuts out there.
I'm a Disabled Veteran - served as a Combat Medic in both Afghanistan and Iraq a while ago now.
Have not had any hand guns due to being married with a child - but a recent divorce has changed that for the better.
Really have nothing to brag about in the collection - it's small, and I live in California which makes matters even worse. Not too familiar with civilian weapons by comparison to what we got to use while I was active duty.
Thanks for your service to all of the LEO's, Fire Fighters, Soldiers etc. on the site and I'm looking forward to getting some solid feedback as I increase my collection from some of the more experienced users on the forum.
Welcome, and thanks for your service........there is such a large choice option for handguns out there....Beretta lover here, and no offense, but a wife and small child wouldn't have stopped me........
Welcome to HGF and here is a little sumthin to help with the divorce (me too)
Welcome Doc - I think you'll like it here.
I was a Medic during Viet Nam era
Thanks for your service.
Welcome and Thanks for your service....JJ

Make sure that you make one that is big enough to hold at least one frame....I am about to make one about 2'x4' b/c that is the size of some double paned windows that we took out of our house. I have a smaller one that does not have good heat holding properties. Make sure that sucker is air tight. I switched over to a crock pot but as soon I have a chance I plan on making the big un.

An old fridge/freezer with the door removed, painted black on the inside with an old full-view patio door or windows with thermopane glass works great. All stuff you could find for free if you scavenge around a bit. A little big for my needs, so one like this works well:
Regards, Barry
Just convert your wife's cold frame, costs virtually nothing and works great!
Thank you Mike,
Thank you Berry; I have a small refrigerator that is not operational anymore, maybe.....
Perry; what is at the bottom of your blue bucket? honey?
So, by virtue of the difference in density/weight of both, honey and wax, good old gravity will separate both from each other?
Just an inch of water to start with and maybe a tiny bit of honey by the time the wax melts. The cookie sheet tray can hold a deep frame if you want to melt wax in the frame itself. The picture shows some cappings being melted. Just an old single pane window and the temps go to 50 C + ! First picture the thermometer is at 30 C and in the covered photo it goes off the scale!
I made one from beesource plans and my biggest regret is that I didn't make it large enough to hold a super of deeps.
If anyone is interested I am going to make some jumbo melters...will have a few extra for sale...should be plenty room and heat for a bunch of frames!

So I know this is not solar. I don't think Solar melter will work here very well. Has anyone had experience with the Maxant 3900WPT
Liquifier and Wax Melting Tank
18 gauge stainless steel single wall around a tank that holds one 5-gallon pail of honey on a metal rack. Also used as a wax melting tank. Dump your cappings into the hot water. Wax rises to top, honey in middle layer, water on lower layer. Separate ball valve drain off layers individually. Complete with everything including chromolux immersion heater. A very popular unit. Shipped in one carton #48.
don't kid yourself, if it gets above 50deg. and I know it does the solar wax melter will have no problem melting small amounts of wax or even medium amounts. If you are wanting to process large amounts then the Maxant would be more than great...I don't think Solar melter will work here very well.
You mean like that one day a year it hits 50.
yea yea August 18th

Similar to a standard bitch-slap, except that the hand is cocked nearly straight-armed, far behind the slapper, as if they were spreading their arms wide. The movements are heavily exaggerated, to emphasize the severity of the situation that calls for such a slap. The motion is to represent having to reach back to California for the wind-up. Known as the Jersey bitch-slap when used in California.

National Community College Initiatives Announced
On Oct. 5, 2010, at the White House Community College Summit, President Obama announced the Skills for America's Future initiative. The initiative is a partnership between community colleges and employers to assist students in developing job-based skills. Skills for America's Future is structured as a broad umbrella under which corporations, labor unions, community colleges and others can connect and identify opportunities for leveraging and scaling effective ideas. By working together, they can have a substantially greater impact than the training efforts of individual firms or community colleges. United Technologies Corporation, Accenture and the Gap have signed on as supporters of Skills for America's Future. For additional information about the Skills for America's Future initiative, visit: www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/10/04/building-skills-america-s-future
Also announced at the Summit was a $1 million prize competition to recognize community colleges with outstanding academic and workforce outcomes. The Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence is a project of the Aspen Institute, in partnership with the Joyce Foundation, the Lumina Foundation for Education, Bank of America Charitable Foundation and the JP Morgan Chase Foundation, to exemplary community colleges. The first award will be made in the fall of 2011. The purpose of the prize is to honor excellence, stimulate innovation and clearly define success for community colleges. The prize will reward community colleges for outstanding performance and improvements over time, and should promote scaling of effective strategies for improved program completion, transition to four-year institutions and employment outcomes. For more information about the Aspen Prize, visit: www.aspeninstitute.org/policy-work/aspen-prize.
GEDTS Finds Positive Relationship Between Holding a GED and Enrolling in College
The GED Testing Service recently unveiled a new report, Crossing the Bridge: GED Credentials and Postsecondary Educational Outcomes, indicating that more than 17,000 GED graduates from 2003 have since earned a college credential. The study found that adults with GED credentials enrolled in postsecondary education at a significantly higher rate than did non-passers. Study data show that, when given enough time, most GED Test-passers with postsecondary education goals (71.5 percent) followed up on those goals. The majority (77.8 percent) of postsecondary students who had passed the GED Tests enrolled in community colleges or similar institutions.
Programs in Workforce Development and Sustainable Programming at Gateway Technical College
Brenda Dann-Messier, OVAE's assistant secretary, visited Gateway Technical College in Burlington, Wis., this week to see state-of-the-art workforce development and sustainable programming efforts at the Transportation Technology Center, Advanced Propulsion Center, and Health & Emergency Responder Occupations (HERO) Center. Gateway is transforming education by providing innovative, up-to-date instruction in "green" energy programs, such as hybrid biodiesel and electricity as fuel sources, geoexchange, wind technology and urban farming—all focusing on sustainable job creation and on addressing the current economic climate by providing green career pathways.
The center is also committed to building successful business partnerships. Their "green garage" initiative, in collaboration with Snap-on, Inc., raises environmental awareness in terms of tools, equipment, chemicals and methods of servicing large transportation vehicles. This initiative provides students with the opportunity to learn about the most advanced vehicles and equipment. One example is a dynamometer room that allows for examination of the diesel components of a vehicle and tests those components; a 5,000 square foot service bay that allows students to look at and work on vehicles up to the size of semi-trailers and semi-tractors; a hangar large enough for any of the center's three training planes to be viewed, worked on and stored; and a lab for hydraulics, alternative fuels, wind-based energy, and research and development. The lab is intended to allow students to better understand the composition of alternative fuels and propulsion methods and to observe research about and development of fuel mixes.
New LINCS Postings
Two final National Institute for Literacy (NIFL) publications are now posted on the LINCS (Literacy Information and Communication System) website. Making Sense of Decoding and Spelling: An Adult Reading Course of Study is an evidence-based course written by Charles MacArthur and Judy Alamprese that is designed to teach low—intermediate level adult learners to decode and spell more accurately and more fluently. The materials were developed as part of a study jointly funded by OVAE, NIFL, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The study investigated the effectiveness of adult literacy interventions for low-literate adults, including the role of decoding, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension instruction in adult literacy and explicitness of instruction. The course includes a teachers' and administrators' guide, a learner activity book, and 30 scripted lesson plans. Adult Literacy Development and Economic Growth, by Steve Reder, from University of Portland, gives new insights into the relationship between changes in adult literacy skills and earnings, especially during periods of economic growth and recession. The paper analyzes literacy, earnings and employment data from the first five years of the Longitudinal Study of Adult Literacy (LSAL).

Adventure Tours is the leading small group tour operator in Australia. We're a bunch of Aussies that have been leading travellers through this big ol' continent over the past 24 years.
Informative and immersive, our tours are for those looking to develop a true-blue understanding of Australia's inner-workings – and have a great time while at it. We take one comfy, air-con equipped 4WD or minibus, load it up with a knowledgeable guide, a bunch of fellow adventurers, tents, swags and some packed picnics, then head out into the wilds. The whole outfit is far more your classic Aussie road trip than it is a standard charter bus tour – just with someone looking after the driving and navigating for you.
Expert guides
Our guides are an enthusiastic and informed bunch who get a real kick out of taking you through what they know and love about their country. They've all got comprehensive training in first aid, driving, fatigue management, environmental awareness and local history and geology, so you can expect your experience to be as enjoyable as humanly possible. We're pretty proud of them.
Learn about our local guides >
Environmental awareness
We're big believers in sustainable tourism and big doers when it comes to reducing our carbon footprint. We use the eight principles of Eco Certification in all our on-ground operations, from selecting the campsites we stay at to maintaining our transport fleet and camping equipment.
Included extras
The majority of trip components – national park entrance fees, most meals, the defining activities in a place – are included in your trip. We have a list of optional activities on some trips too, like boat cruises through croc-filled waterways or camel rides through the desert, to give travellers the opportunity to do something a little bit different. Keeping these as optional extras help to keep the trip price down and ensure you'll only be paying for the activities that you actually want to do.
Exclusive Accommodation
From working cattle stations to well-appointed wilderness lodges, desert campsites to underground bunkhouses, the accommodation we use is all part of the ATA experience. Some of it may be a tad rustic, but we believe evenings by a campfire and nights in a canvas tent or swag are the best ways to meet the Outback.
Accommodation and transport options >
We're pretty chuffed to have picked up a few awards in our years of operation. Our most recent win was Best Tour Company and Best Tour in Australia (for our 10-day West Coast trip) at the 2015 Golden Backpack Awards. We're also the only small group company with an in-house training program for our guides. You can admire our full trophy cabinet here.

Turkey Production Survey
Wild Turkey Production and Population Survey Results for 2005
The 2005 hunting season was the 27th year of our annual turkey population survey. The continuing cooperation of turkey hunters has made the survey possible. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. The information you provide is valuable in several ways.
Turkey Production Index Survey
This survey was conducted from May through August from 1978 thru 1990. Beginning in 1991, the annual survey period was shortened to June through August. Field personnel of the Game Management, Law Enforcement, and Fisheries Management Sections of the Wildlife Resources Division are involved in data collection. All observations of turkey broods and hens, with and without poults, are reported.
In 2005, 248 broods were seen, down 30% from 354 in 2004. However, brood totals can be misleading as a measure of production. The number of poults per observer is the best measure or index of relative reproduction success because it accounts for annual differences in number of observers and poults in broods. The average brood size of 9.96 poults seen in 2005 was 5.6% less than observed in 2004 (10.55). The statewide production index of poults per observer (12.89) was 29.4% less than last years 18.28. The average number of poults per hen was 1.5 in 2005 down 25% from 2.0 in 2004. An average of 3.0 or above is usually considered an indicator of good production in expanding turkey populations.
These data suggest that on a statewide basis turkey production was still depressed in 2005, and may be considered poor, especially when compared to the excellent reproduction in 1993-95. Cyclic, up-and-down trends are a natural aspect observed in wildlife populations, especially in turkeys as reproduction can be greatly affected by unpredictable, spring weather conditions. The recent extremes in Georgia weather can also impact reproductive success because of variable insect production and habitat quality. Managing for quality habitat should remain a priority to avoid additional limitations during seasons of low production and to take advantage of upward trends in reproduction. Overall, Georgias turkey population is still very good.
Hunting Population Index Survey
This survey is conducted during the spring gobbler season with hunt data being supplied by hunter volunteers. Specific information requested about each hunting trip from our hunter cooperators is the date, hours hunted, county or region of the state hunted, the number of turkeys seen, the number of gobblers heard, and the number of gobblers killed.
The hours of hunting effort per turkey observed is used as an index of the hunting population. The correlation between this index and the production index is used in evaluating annual production and resulting hunting season populations.
Hunt information in usable form was supplied by 335 of the 2,000 hunters contacted in 2005. They reported making 3,522 trips totaling 11,724 hunting hours. The season hunting effort per cooperator was 10.5 trips totaling 35 hours. This is a slight decrease from the 2004 season average effort.
A total of 7,023 turkeys (hens and gobblers) were seen. The 2005 statewide population index of 1.6 hunting hours per turkey seen was relatively the same as in 2003 and 2004, which is very good, judging from the 26 years surveyed. The lowest effort per bird seen was in the Ridge and Valley, Lower and Upper Coastal Plain counties.
Cooperators reported hearing 4,881 gobblers. The hours of hunting per gobbler heard averaged 2.4 hours. Fair to good reproductive success in years past along with an abundance of adult gobblers once again were factors contributing to the continued low hunting effort per gobbling bird in 2005. The effort per gobbler heard was least in Upper and Lower Coastal Plain and highest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Peak gobbling activity, 2.0 gobblers heard per trip, occurred during the first weekend (March 26-27) of the season.
The statewide harvest during the first seven days of the 2005 season accounted for 29% of the total season harvest. The average amount of hunting effort to kill a gobbler, 24.4 hours (Table 4), increased by 1 hour from 2004. Statewide hunter success declined slightly to 65.4% with 219 of the 335 cooperators taking at least one bird. Of these, 90 (26.9%) hunters took or assisted in taking one bird, 58 (17.3%) took or assisted in taking two birds, and 71 (21.2%) took or assisted in taking three birds. Cooperators reported 74 gobblers killed by companions.
2006 Season Forecast
According to a post-season survey, Georgias estimated 76,000 turkey hunters had a good spring season in 2005, harvesting about 42,000 birds statewide. (These higher estimates are likely the result of changing the state licensing system and survey techniques and do not represent as significant a change in turkey hunter numbers or turkey harvest as it would seem from previous years estimates. We are working to verify techniques used to conduct the survey are truly representative of what is occurring in our state). The average harvest per hunter (0.56 turkeys) was around 14% lower than the previous two seasons (2003 and 2004), which could have been attributed to many weekends of inclement weather making hunting more difficult. Of the turkey hunters surveyed after the season, 70% rated the turkey hunting good or excellent, while 10% rated it as poor. Across the state the 2006 spring season in general should be good again depending upon the weather and the number of residual adult birds.
Overall the states turkey population is still strong, but in need of a few years of better reproduction. Hopefully, reproduction will rebound and the future will remain bright for Georgias number one game bird. Good luck and good hunting.

hey bunch back agian with another probably stupid question. i just bought a sigma 40 cal couple months ago and am now in the market for another handgun preferly a 9 mil. anyone ever bought from budsgunshop.com? not too worried about buying new but buying used from an online recommended or ?
Bud's is one of the best places on the internet from which to order firearms. Find a local FFL dealer where you are located, and then look at the list of dealers on Bud's site. Bud's might already have your local dealer's FFL on file. Besides a very simple ordering system and very flexible payment options, they will often have the best prices too.
Their customer service seems to be pretty good too. I had a minor problem with my last order, but they resolved the problem to my satisfaction in just a few days. I just ordered a rifle from them two days ago, and will most likely order next month a .22 handgun that I've had my eye on for a while.
As for buying used - there are a few dealers online who have good reputations. Summit Gun Brokers is good, as is Dansammo.com and Larrysguns.com. You could also get something off of Gunbroker.com, but it's been my experience that no one is 100% truthful when describing their used firearm.
I'd be very leery of buying a used handgun on the net.
NIB should be ok, but be careful about used ones.
Nothing wrong with buying used at all. I have a mix myself. I wouldn't ever buy a used one sight unseen though.
I just bought a used 5906 from CDNN and seems like I received a great gun. They were easy to deal with and the customer service and shipping was great. I received the gun a day earlier than I was expecting. I looked at Bud's but they didn't have what I was wanting.

Tips to Toast in the New Year with Champagne!
The New Year is just around the corner and here are some helpful tips to ring in the New Year with nice glass of bubbly Champagne!
Pouring sparkling wine doesn't have to be complicated. First off, the best thing you can do for your bubbly is to keep it extremely cold. The colder it is, the more you are preserving the bubbles and the less messy it will be to open and pour.
Don't over think how you hold the bottle. Sommeliers in fancy restaurants might show off by pouring sparkling wine while holding the bottle with their thumb inside the punt (the depression in the bottom of the bottle), but I wouldn't recommend trying this unless you have strong thumbs or lots of practice.
To avoid overflowing, don't try to fill the glass all at once. Pour an ounce or two, wait a few seconds for the froth to settle, then continue pouring. No need to fill the glass to the brim — aim for the two-thirds-full mark. Speaking of preserving bubbles, I've read the results of a study that suggests if you pour the bubbly straight down the center of the glass, you might lose more carbonation than if you tilt the glass and pour down the side. If someone offers to refill your glass, it's OK to offer the glass with a tilt.
Here are a few of our recommended Sparklers to Toast in the New Year!
Under $10:
Korbel Brut
Hawaii's favorite bottle-fermented champagne, Korbel Brut is light-tasting and crisp with a balanced medium-dry finish.
Perfect to pair with Chicken or seafood dishes, and ono-licious with our local Asian foods. Also, a wonderful choice with fruit and mild cheese.
Vivande Bubbly Pink Moscato
Visually stimulating, the Mourvedre grape is responsible for the attractive rose color. Flavors of the Muscat Blanc include apricot and peach, with floral notes of gardenia and honeysuckle. This off-dry wine is very refreshing, with a crisp balance of acidity and lively bubbles. The simple elegance of Vivande Bubbly Pink Moscato makes it the perfect all-around beverage.
Under $13:
Gloria Ferrer Sonoma Brut
One of the very best values in California sparklers, super quality at very affordable cost. Delicate pear and floral notes backed by toasty almond. Fun tastes of lively citrus, toast and apple flavors overlaid with persistent effervescence, a creamy mid-palate and toasty finish.
This Gloria Ferrer Sonoma Brut also earned a 90 Point rating:
"A wonderfully drinkable sparkling wine that appeals immediately for its balanced texture and rich flavors." - Wine Enthusiast, December 15, 2010
Piper Sonoma Brut
In my opinion, this is our best value choice. Pale gold color with tiny bubbles, Piper Sonoma Brut has delicate aromas of ripe apple, toast and peach. Crisp citrus flavors with hint of strawberries and vanilla smoke. Dry, fresh, bright with a long, elegant finish. Delicious, and very very affordable.
$39 and up
Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label
It is very hard to beat Veuve Clicquot! Cliquot is always on my wish list! Veuve Clicquot's signature brut non-vintage is loved the world over for its crisp, full flavors, consistent quality and celebratory yellow label. Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot, while a touch of Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine. Tightly knit, this offers subtle notes of white peach, anise, biscuit and kumquat. The refined finish echoes a smoky note, earning an esteemed 92 Point rating from Wine Spectator!
Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial
Better known to us Hawaii folks as "White Star," this champagne is simply delicious. A fine effervescence, buttery without being rich, and tropically warm with a lime blossom attack. The palate is delicate well-balanced, creamy and rich, unlimited fragrances filling the tongue with highlights and leaving behind a sense of harmony, mellowness. A medium-bodied Champagne with generous fruit and toasted flavors. Joyous wines, with a generous and seductive personality.
Moet et Chandon is still today, and more than ever before, the symbol of pleasure, grandeur and pure celebration.
Taittinger Brut La Francaise
A fine, very pure style of Champagne. Has hints of toast and citrus fruits that come together in a style that is almost the essence of Champagne. Crisp, rich and complex."This Champagne is a blend of some 30 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, respectively 40% and 60% of the total, from several harvests of perfectly ripened grapes. The most expensive grape in champagne is Chardonnay. Hints of marzipan, lightly charred toast add richness, then discover flavors of poached pear, lemon curd and black currant. Earned a notable 91 Point rating from both Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast.
$299 and up
Brignac Brut Ace of Spades
Okay, okay...we can dream, can't we? It's the New Year, so why not drink what Jay-Z and J-Lo drinks? Well okay, maybe only for New Year's…maybe? This Champagne is truly one of the finest Champagnes produced. A rich and racy wine, complex and full bodied, and deliciously creamy.
Whichever champagne you decide on, just remember that most of all - it is just really good adult grape juice...so have fun, drink responsibly, and enjoy the bubbles!
Cheers to a Happy New Year!

New Skinnygirl Ready to Serve Cocktails available now!
We had heard the buzz about Skinnygirl® Margaritas a while back and several of our customers were even asking us about when we were going to start carrying this hot new low calorie ready to serve cocktail at Foodland.
Well, we brought in Skinnygirl® Margaritas late last year, and it surprised us in two ways: 1. How great it tasted for a so called "low calorie" beverage and 2. How hard it was to keep it on the shelves!

A popular town in the Pacific Northwest and now dependency of the 'The Bay Area'. Bend was invaded in 1992 by an advancing army from 'The Bay Area' of California. Bend was quicky conquered with little resistance. In modern times most Bend inhabitants will tell you they are from the 'The Bay Area' and how much they love Bend and wouldn't want to be anywhere else before telling you that the restaurants or shopping and pretty much everything else isn't as good as in the 'The Bay Area'. Most former residents of 'The Bay Area' would earn much more money there if they went back but have chosen not to, instead preferring to stay in Bend and tell everyone they meet that they are from 'The Bay Area' and how they would earn much more money if they ever did go back.
