Potholes are about to get a marketing makeover, because they certainly are not going away, and they are actually going to have new neighbors as the city enacts cuts in Public Works Department. Every department in the city was directed by City Manager T.C. Broadnax to submit biennial budgets that included 15 percent cuts as a way to establish a baseline to begin to manage the $63 million projected budget shortfall expected to slam the city in the next two years. That shortfall is the amount of money the city would overspend if it kept services and staffing at its current level because of higher health care costs and expenses as well as lower tax revenues. But numbers are hard to conceptualized. The budget "rubber" will hit the "road" for most residents when it comes to the streets in front of their houses or apartments that have potholes and dips that go unrepaired. The decaying streets around Tacoma are well known to drivers, and they might just become legendary. City estimates figure Tacoma streets need $800 million in repairs. Crews have spent close to $4 million a year in recent years to chip away at that roster of sunken roads and cracked concrete. That is going to change. But the "good news" is that the rising costs for roadwork will not change much with yet another two years of neglect.
"In all likelihood it will get worse, but it has taken a long time to get this bad," Public Works Director Dick McKinley said. He will see his Streets crew shrink from 161 to 93.6 people. The city had been chip sealing about 125 blocks of street, but will do just 80 blocks under the budget proposal. The 67,000 potholes repaired in the last year will drop to about 3,000 as the city shifts strategies. Instead of cold-patching potholes within five days of being reported, McKinley wants to hot patch them instead. Cold patching is immediate but often requires crews to return several times, while hot patching is more permanent but requires warm weather. That means a pothole could sit a while, especially during the winter months. But it solves the problem rather than provides a quick fix that will likely need repairs as well.
"It will be a long-term conversation with the community to make this work," he said, noting that residents will be advised to drive around the potholes – for several months – to avoid them from growing until hot-patchers can fill the hole. "I really want to redo how we think about residential streets." As winter nears, the public works topic of the day was snow plowing under the next two-year budget. That is an easy answer. It will be half of what it has been in recent years. Snow removal will drop from 19 to nine trucks and emergency snow removal hours will be cut from operating around the clock until the snow is cleared to around the clock for four days as a way to control overtime costs.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:13am
Every sports team needs a strong starting lineup to be successful. Hogan's Lacrosse has assembled a powerful lineup of heavy hitters to support its popular series of club tournaments.
Dick's Sporting Goods, Nike, and STX have once again signed on as sponsors of Hogan Lacrosse, one of the nation's largest and most respected tournament organizers. This year, Hogan's Lacrosse will have 17,000 players participate in its seven events.
"We are thrilled and honored to be associated with three of the finest companies in the world," said Matt Hogan, Founder and Director of Hogan's Lacrosse. "Having the backing of Dick's Sporting Goods, Nike, and STX in helping our organization put on first-class tournaments."
Dick's Sporting Goods Inc. (NYSE: DKS) is the leading U.S. based full-line sporting goods retailer. Since its inception in 1948 as a fishing and camping supplies store, Dick's Sporting Goods has built a strong tradition of supporting athletics in the community. In recent years, the company has amplified its sponsorship presence across a variety of sports, including running, golf and soccer. This marks the second straight year that Dick's Sporting Goods has Partnered with Hogan Lacrosse events.
"Dick's Sporting Goods has been very aggressive in becoming an important part of the Hogan's Lacrosse operations, and I think our events have helped Dick's get its brand name out there with lacrosse players," Hogan said.
"Dick's Sporting Goods is excited to partner with Hogan's Lacrosse, which is dedicated to the growth and development of lacrosse for youth and high school athletes," said Lauren Hobart, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President for Dick's Sporting Goods. "This partnership advances our mission to provide athletes with the best equipment, while also increasing and diversifying our presence in team sports."
Nike was Hogan's first tournament partner and the relationship is now entering its sixth year. Nike, the world's leading supplier of athletic shoes and apparel, has steadily increased its lacrosse presence over the years.
"People associate Nike with excellence so it is quite impactful that Nike has chosen to promote its products at our events," Hogan said. "I believe Nike chooses to be associated with Hogan's Lacrosse because we represent excellence as well."
STX, the world's leading manufacturer of lacrosse sticks and equipment, sponsors many of the premier collegiate men's and women's lacrosse teams in the country. Since its inception in 1970, STX has been at the forefront of developing the finest lacrosse equipment and in the process helped grow the game.
"Our goal has always been to align Hogan's Lacrosse with the best of the best and STX is one of the standard-bearers of the sport," Hogan said. "STX has been manufacturing quality products for a long time and it speaks volumes that STX finds real value from the exposure it receives at our tournaments."
STX will have a booth full of equipment at the various Hogan's events and will once again allow youngsters to "test drive" a stick through its demo program. The new and improved Proton Power heads and Alliance Flex handles are among the most innovative items that will be available for kids to "try it before they buy it," STX event marking coordinator Nate Cundy said.
"Hogan Lax puts on great events that feature an extremely high level of play. They are well-run, clean and respectable," Cundy said. "STX has enjoyed our partnership with Hogan Lax over the years and look forward to another great season of working together."
This year, Hogan's Lacrosse will organize and operate six club tournaments: Summer Exposure (June 15-16, Annapolis, Md.); Revolution (June 29-30, Williamsburg, Va.); HERO (June 29, Philadelphia, Pa.), Bay Bridge Brawl (July 5-6, Kent Island, Md.), Hogan's Hershey (July 13-14, Hersey, Pa.), Fall Brawl(Nov 2-3, Anne Arundel County, Md), and Kris Kringle Invitational (Dec. 28-29).
Hogan's Lacrosse is a multi-faceted organization that provides playing opportunities and exposure for youngsters of all ages and abilities in a clean, safe, competitive environment. Established in 2000, Hogan's Lacrosse organizes tournaments, conducts camps and clinics and directs an offseason club program known as the Annapolis Hawks. Founder and owner Matt Hogan is one of the nation's most respected lacrosse minds, having worked as a collegiate coach for nearly two decades – serving as defensive coordinator at the Naval Academy and head coach of the University of Pennsylvania. Hogan recently completed a successful stint as head coach at St. Mary's High and now serves as the school's Dean of Students.

Candle Vigil Marks 4 Years Since Haleigh Cummings Disappearance
Published February 12th, 2013
Loading Video...
SATSUMA- Haleigh's memory is alive and well among her family but they hope that a prayer vigil Sunday will reignite public interest in finding their little girl.
Haleigh's grandmother, Teresa Neves feelings are clear just by looking around the room, where photos letters drawings and candles are laid out on every available surface to honor one little girl.
Haleigh's Great Grandmother, Annette Sykes says,"It's important because she is alive, it just, to us it's a fact, you know she's out there somewhere, we just want her brought back."
On February 10, 2009 then 5 year old Haleigh Cummings was reported missing from her Satsuma home.
Teresa Neves says, "She was in her house in her bed, I mean no one knows anything there was no clues, how do you disappear into thin air."
That question is also on the tip of the tongues of the Putnam County Sheriff's office and other lead investigating agencies who don't have a lead suspect in the case.
But Misty Croslin, Haleighs babysitter at the time still remains a person of interest for the family.
Neves says,"The one person that the sheriff's office seemed most interested in, we don't have any answers yet."
Misty Croslin, was in a relationship with Haleigh's father Ronald at the time of the disappearance.

How Do Botox Injections Help With My Migraines?
If other Botox treatments have failed with my migraianes, does this mean all Botox treatments will?
Botox works primarily by relaxing muscles. In some people with chronic headaches, the nerves responsible for the pain that they feel are pinched by spastic muscles in the neck, temple or forehead. Injection of Botox into the muscle fibers around where the nerves are pinched may produce pain relief by relaxing those specific muscle fibers and reducing pressure on the nerve. However, the doses of Botox used and the injection technique are critical to achieving the desired result. Many patients have had Botox administered over numerous injection points (e.g. >30 injections) using relatively low doses at each injection site.
Often, many of these injection sites don't correspond to the location of a pinched nerve within the muscle being relaxed by the Botox. While this technique may be successful some of the time, I have found much greater success and more accuracy by targeting points where nerves are known to pass through spastic muscles with slightly higher doses of Botox. By targeting specific areas of muscle known to be potential nerve compression sites, the overall dose of Botox and number of injections can be minimized. This technique not only reduces overall discomfort, but can keep costs to a minimum while still optimizing the potential benefits. Stated another way, the effectiveness of this approach is often much higher because the spastic muscle fibers immediately around a nerve are more relaxed and other muscle areas that don't have a nerve around them are left alone.
The take-home message is that Botox must be used with appropriate dosing and appropriate injection techniques in order to achieve the desired result. If these parameters are not in place, a negative result may occur, but may not mean that the Botox was ineffective.

Proteome flounders on debut
Page Tools
The tough week for biotech listings continued yesterday with protein technologist Proteome closing at a 31 per cent discount to its $1.20 issue price.
The company's shares opened at $1 before closing at 83c yesterday. And it is not the only biotech float to falter this week.
On its second day of trading Acrux continued to decline, closing at 86c yesterday - 14 per cent below its $1 issue price.
Sunshine Heart, which listed at a 20 per cent premium on Tuesday, lost ground to close just 2c above its listing price at 52c yesterday.
Proteome founder and chief executive Keith Williams said the $65 million worth of biotech stock that listed this week might have been too much for the market to absorb, but he remained optimistic about the stock's performance.
"I think there's a real sense of purpose within the business and if we [execute that], the share price will look after itself," he said.
The managing director of eG Capital, Mark Fordree, was less forgiving.
"I think it's the same as any sector. It's extremely important to look at the quality of institutions that are buying into these stocks," Mr Fordree said.
He pointed out that Proteome's stock was repriced a number of times before the float and "very few institutions participated".
Mr Fordree said Somnomed, whose float was managed by eG Capital last month, continued to go from strength to strength, closing at 63c yesterday, more than double the amount paid by float subscribers. The firm helped manage a private capital raising by Proteome earlier this year.
Despite the fall, Proteome still managed to create half a dozen millionaires among its staff, led by Mr Williams who owns a 24 per cent stake worth just under $20 million at yesterday's closing price.
There is a lot of work ahead for the company, with Mr Williams estimating that the $20 million raised from yesterday's float was expected to fund the company's operations for around 12 months, depending on the sales it generates this year.
The company is largely reliant on large-scale systems sales, which have a lumpy effect on revenues.
Proteome reported a loss of $19.9 million on revenues of $7.8 million for the year to June 30, 2004, compared to a loss of $16.4 million on revenues totalling $21.2 million for the prior year.

DIY: Wetsanding paint chip repair
The information below was initially thrown together to help a fellow member venture into the world of wetsanding to correct flaws. She shared it with another member, and both said they found it useful and encouraged me to post to everyone.
Last weekend I went on our local BMW CCA chapter spring drive, and when I washed the car on return I found a chip on the A-pillar on the drivers side. I figured taking photos as I fixed it and the information below would go together with the wetsanding tips, so here goes. Hopefully will help folks who are trying to remove fine scratches (not all the way through the clearcoat), or to wetsand touch-up paint.
Also note, I am a fan of Dr. Colorchip, and use it for small nicks and roadrash. One problem I have with it, though, is that it doesn't really fill the spot level, so for larger chips they remain visible. It (and Langka, which I haven't tried yet) are both valuable tools to use in addition to traditional touchup paint and wetsanding.
I'll start with the "quick tips" I sent, and then show some photos from the chip repair, along with brief narratives. As always, if you take on this as a DIY, you're on your own, there are risks. if you aren't comfortable doing it, don't!
First, if you haven't yet, check out the wetsanding tips article on AutoGeek. In it, they are wetsanding a much larger surface to level paint, but the ideas/techniques are the same. And there are some photos to show what to expect to see. AutoGeek: how to remove scratches
There are also lots of threads about wetsanding and chip repair in the AG forum if you search.
One suggestion they make is to use your finger with smaller pieces of paper (1"x1") for limited areas. I've actually done (and still do) this. While a small piece of paper on a small rubber surface (one tip is to use a hole punch to create little tiny disks, and affix them to pencil erasers) seems appealing, you lose the touch and sensitiveity (at least, I do). And I think it's easier to press too hard with a smaller surface than you would with your fingertip. The trick is keeping the surface pretty level and the pressure light.
So, follow all the tips about soaking the paper (overnight is not an exaggeration, the bodyshop where I've had work done constantly has buckets with fresh paper soaking so it is always ready to use). I'd suggest experimenting with a small piece of paper and your fingertip on a test panel if you have one (or an inconspicuous place in the trunk or under the hood), to get a feel for how the paper grabs and glides depending on pressure and the amont of water. Just remember, if it's not a test panel, you'll have to buff out the sanding marks.
If you *EVER* see color in the "slurry" of water that gets worked up, STOP MMEDIATELY. It means you may be through the clear into the color base. I've never had this happen. Just go slow and light and easy. Might be interesting to intentionally sand through the paint on a test panel, just to see how it feels/looks.
Another thing I use is a pink rubber eraser (the kind you had in grade school, about 1.5"x2"x.5") as a sanding block. I also have a small 1"x2"x1/2" wood block (was part of some kit my son got years ago, and is machine made, smooth, and true) that I use. This is about the largest I use, since I don't like sanding large areas.
The trick with the eraser or block is to make sure to feather the edges of where you are sanding so you don't end up with a visible low spot (straight lines) in the clear. I did this once, thus the switch to the fingertip method. I fixed the error by resanding outward to feather the edges and then repolishing.
Folks will tell you using your finger is no good, since it's not perfectly level and flat. But you can *feel* the bump of the paint, and can make sure you apply pressure on it, and feather out from it. Experiment, and see what works for you. I tend to use it more often than not.
Not much I can say I do that isn't in that link. Don't sand parallel or perpendicular to the scratch (if doing a chip repair, I pick one direction for each paper I use, alternating 90 degrees with each one). Go at an angle. For chips, make sure to feather out, so the marks get lighter further away from the chip/scratch, and so you don't create a visible "dip". Wipe with a MF towel to check your work and then respray frequently. With a chip repair, if you're doing it right, you'll see the top of the blob get opaque (being sanded down) and the area around it should be as untouched as possible (although I've never been able to get *only* the blob). As it gets close to the level of the paint, sometimes I'll then switch to the eraser, and go very, very lightly over the whole area. Doing this, you'll see the high and low spots in the paint. The trick is to let the fine grit of the paper do it's job without much pressure (like using clay, or using sharp tools on a athe - let the tool do the work, don't push it).
Once you've done it with 2000 paper, go over the whole area lightly with 2500 or 3000 paper (if you have it). This is the time to use the block, you want it to be level. Sometimes I'll skip the second sanding, but I have compounds that will remove 1500-2000 grit sanding marks.
Speaking of polishing compounds, you need something that will take out the marks left by the finest paper you use. In the example I post below, I used Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. I chose this because the area doesn't lend itself to machine buffing, and I knew I'd have to do it by hand. A side benefit is that it's readily avaialble and reletively inexpensive for folks who don't have a whole shelf full of different compounds and polishes like I do. Meguiars Ultimate Compound (followed by Ultimate Polish, if you need/want) can be used by hand to get 2000 and 2500 grit marks out. They work well.
If you a dual action (DA) polisher (like a porter Cable or Griots), that helps the buffing side. If not, definitely put one on your list for birthday/Christmas/whatever if you are serious about keeping swirl marks out of your finish. They really make quick work of swirl and Random Isolated Deeper Scratches (RIDS) removal.
That's pretty much it for tips - on to the photos and chip removal!
These first two are photos of the chip itself. This is on the top part of the drivers side A-pillar, near where it bends around to go across the top of the windshield. You can see the chip is all the way through the color layers, into the white primer layer. My BMW paint has seven layers (if I recall), so this one is pretty deep.
This is a photos to give an idea of scale. That is a 0.5mm mechanical pencil lead pointing at the chip.
This is the BMW touch-up paint kit. It comes with both color and clear. You can use both, or just the color. I've also used just the clear to fill in nicks that didn't go through the color layer.
Here I've applied the touch up paint, after shaking it well for 1 minute. I used an artists brush with a very fine tip. You can also use the included brush (pretty wide) or a toothpick (for very tiny spots), in addition to regular paint brushes. You can see I tried to keep the paint inside the chip, but note that you want it to go over the edges somewhat.
Here's the spot after the paint has had a chance to dry for about 30 minutes. Note that it contracts significantly. This is why you want to be sure to cover the edges of the chip.
This is after drying overnight. Note the paint has contracted even more, and is now below the level of the surrounding paint. It needs another couples coats, so I repeated the above process, making sure to cover the edges of the current touch-up spot.
This is the next day, after the next 2 coats dried. Note the center - this is a tiny air bubble, which can potentially cause a problem if it's within the level of the existing paint, since it might cause a tiny pinhole in the finished/level surface. At this point, I'll just keep going to see. Even if it is, I think it's easier to fix the pinhole than to try and remove this paint that's already dry.
This is the first light pass. I started out with 2000 paper on my red eraser, and quickly realized the area was going to be hard to do with the paper on the eraser (should have opened the top - duh!). You can also see that the area is drying quickly (I'm out in the sun, since it's bright but not warm/hot).
Here is the spot wiped clean after a bit more sanding. In addition to ditching the rubber eraser as a sanding block, I changed direction to make it easier to sand. You can also see the pinhole caused by the air bubble.
More sanding passes
Final pass. I think I did a couple very light passes with the paper back on the eraser block after this, but you can see it's level with the surface.
After checking the level closely, I buffed the area using the Meguiar's Ultimate Compound on a general purpose (medium weight) MF towel. You could also use soft terry cloth or a terry applicator, but the area was so small it didn't take much compound. This photo is after 3 or 4 buff/wipe off/check cycles. You can see this is still just a touch of haziness around in a couple spots.
Here it is after a few more cycles using the Ultimate Compound. You can see that it finishes quite well (no marring or swirls) by hand. You can see the spot - it's a bit darker than the surrounding area - but that is highly dependant on the light, and this was near noon on a very bright day. At many angles, the spot was exactly the same color.
After buffing and checking for swirls/holograms/marring, it's time to put a last stage protectant (LSP) back on. Right now I've got Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant on the whole car, so it got a quick treatment of that. It just wipes on with a foam applicator, dries, and buffs (very easily) off.
The final product. The spot you see in one image is a metallic flake catching the sun. Also, the paint will lighten up some in the next few days as it cures.
Nice and clean (during our drive, we went past a plant that processes gypsum. It was raining. Couldn't wait to get it off - talk about a mess all over the front and sides of the car...it was almost like paper mache paste. Should have taken a "before" photo of it.
I hope this helps anyone considering touch-up chip repair and wetsanding. It's terribly intimidating to put those kind of scratches into your paint as you're working, but hopefully this shows that with caution (don't go below the clearcoat, don't do the same spot too long/too many times!) it can be safely done with little materials.
Recap on what I used:
- BMW touch-up paint kit
- Artists paintbrush (very very fine tip)
- 3M 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper, soaked for about 3 hours. One little piece (about 1"x3")
- red rubber eraser for sanding block
- Water bottle to spray area
- multipurpose MF towel
- Meguiar's Ultimate Compound
- Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant (whatever LSP you use goes here)

Great writeup!
Thanks for taking the time to share this.
Curious, what's your back ground? Have you done this before? Looking at the early stages of sanding scares me. There's no need to clear coat?
Awesome. Thank you! I have at least two spots on my hood that I will try this on!
yes, the first time I did it and I wiped it off, I had a lump in my throat....but I had seen photos and knew it should look like that, and would buff out. That's why I figured this might help a few folks, especially with the photos.
I don't typically use the clearcoat unless the spot is larger, or sometimes as a followup if the paint contracts more after I've sanded (which can happen). Touch up paint typically dries faster that regular paint, and isn't as hard. It polishes to a very shiny finish. I've also used just clear to fix "sanding divots". The car I have now had 2, where someone sanded into the clearcoat far enough that if you looked at it from an angle, it looks like a very shallow dent. I just clearcoated the spot with a few layesr, then used a large block to sand level.
If you have lots of little tiny spots, like road rash, you will be better off with somethign like dr. Colorchip, although it doesn't fill the spots level. I saw a front bumper that was covered with tiny spots (literally hundreds) get fixed in one pass - the paint on a small rag wiped on, let it dry, wipe it off with that special chemical, and boom it was done. It would have taken tens of hours to touch them all up and then wetsand the whole area, although that can be done - you just have to touch all of them up, and wetsand the whole thing.

Great writeup, thanks for taking time to post photo's and go the extra mile.
05 645 Black Sapphire Metallic.
Thanks for doing the photos. Now I'm emboldened to again tackle the funky thing that happened with the metallic paint on my one hood spot.
Just an aside: I don't know what it is about the aerodynamics of the E93 but I've had more rock chips like the one you fixed on my roof than I have on the front of the car. I even had one where a rock flew over the roof and nicked that narrow panel on the back between the roof and the trunk lid. What I can't figure out is what happens to all those flying rocks when I'm driving top down.
Two Questions:
1) Regarding the air bubble, would you ever entertain filling it back in with clear coat?
2) Do you ever use clear coat to finish filling a spot in? Not so noticeable (or so it seems) on the Monaco Blue, but Space Gray changes dramatically (for the better) with the addition of the clear coat. It seems almost a requirement to use the clear coat to get the chip to really match.
Thanks much for making this a formal DIY.

I'm happy for everyone else that gets to see this tutorial as well now, and it was too well done not to be shared.
This DIY will be the first thing I'll look up when I revisit wetsanding.
Yes, I'll try that Dr. Colorchip for my hood scatter spot, someday. Maybe this summer. I do have Langka and 3M, but I gotta see what that Dr. is all about, thanks again.
Dr. Seuss, if you see yourself doing this kind of thing a lot, and you're scared, you might consider getting a paint thickness gauge, a good one can be had new just for $200. (However this one will only read on metal panels.) Then you always know exactly how much you're taking off, no matter how blurry/slurry the area gets. (The way I try to justify the expenditure on certain tools is by saying something like, "well if I do this myself, it's like I get the tool for free . . ".) The AG link that Andrew provided also recommends this tool, see line #6. That said, I don't think it's totally necessary, but yeah it does provide peace of mind and some understanding of your paint.
Also just FYI, the UV protection is in about the first half of the clearcoat; once removed all UV protection will be from your LSP (and sealant > wax for this, but no reason not to use both.)
1) I would be more likely to fill the air buble with color, for a couple reasons. First, it's really, really small. Go back to the image of the 0.5 mm pencil for reference. To fix that one, if it had been deeper and not been sanded out, I'd have just put a tiny drop of color base on a toothpick, smeared it across the hole, and wiped it and let it dry. Odds are, even if you have to do that twice, you won't have to sand again - just a quick compound will do it, it's so small. Second reason is refraction of the light. Even though the clear would fill it, you'd see the dimple in the color base underneath.
2) I haven't used the clearcoat for smaller spots like this, because of the light refraction mentioned above. My experience doing that is that you wind up with a perfectly flat reflective surface from some angles, but from other angles you can see the edges of the color base under the clearcoat. It ends up looking kind of like a what's commonly referred to as a Type II water spot - one that is etched into the clearcoat slightly.
For larger spots, I'll get the paint level and then clearcoat, then do a final sand with a finer paper - like 2500 or 3000. The clear lacquer behaves differently than the color base - it goes on the same, but dries very thin and, to some extent, self-levels leaving a smooth finish.
It might be worth a shot with your silver metallic paint - what you would want to do is, to the extent possible, bevel the edges of the chip so they aren't at a 90 degree angle to the base. It sounds super scary, but an exacto knife with a new, small tip blade and a magnifying glass can do it. I've done the opposite (given a chip a more defined edge) a couple times when the chip repair paint kept "popping" out every tiem I went to give it the final polish.

One of the things I did when I jumped into this per your help was to tape off the area I wanted to concentrate on with blue painters tape so I wouldn't inadvertently mar the area further afield of where I needed to concentrate. I noticed you weren't afraid to extend your arena a bit. Is that just because you have gained the confidence with regard to your technique?

Taping off immediately around probably isn't a bad idea. Just be careful not to end up with "divots" in the paint where the tape protects.
Or maybe I'm picturing your approach wrong.
The expanded area, while scuffed, is really not heavily sanded, and is mostly a result of the smallest paper I could use (about an inch square) and making sure to feathersand out from the chip.
Regarding edge shaping, a more vertical (steep) angle will hold the paint better, but might result in a more visible color line from the paint/metallics not matching perfectly (and unless you're spraying, I don't think you'll ever get it perfect). A more bevelled edge will reduce the refraction and maybe allow the clear to work on top of the base color layer a little better.
Looks good Andrew, make me want to try.
I wonder if OEM paint in the aerosol can would be better option. Like tape the entire area but the scratch then overlap a few layer by spray can instead of tooth-pick/artist-brush.
This is the place I am thinking of ordering it from. Anyone try ordering BMW OEM paint in the sparya can?
If you don't wetsand a chip prior to a respray, you end up with little dimples in the paint. I know, I rejected the respray on the hood of my wifes car (she got hit by a drunk driver in her Lexus RX) because it dimpled in several places. They only had to blend the paint on one corner, but then sprayed clear on the whole hood so it would match, and the clear dimpled in a couple tiny rock chips that hadn't been fixed yet.
Turns out the insurance specs cover the repaint, blending, and clear respray, but NOT the hourly time to wetsand all the chips out in areas that weren't affected by the collision. The shop manager looked at it, explained, said he typically will tell the customer that and offer them a discounted rate to wetsand (with the discount, typically under $100), but they did her car before he could get to me.
He wetsanded the whole hood and resprayed a layer of clear for me, no charge
But anyway, unless you have to fix a large area, the spray may be harder than touch up. Also be *very* careful about overspray - the paint will end up on everything you don't cover, even the diagonal opposite corner of the car. Mask/tape off very well, then cover the rest of the car with an old sheet or similar.

My logic is I think it's easier to put thin layer of paint with spray than touch-up, but in practice maybe not good.
Mine is a dent with scratch, the body shop want to spray over the door but I would rather not. So I am thinking fixing the dent on dentless repair then do the touch up myself.
Found another tip. Dr. Colorchip has these great little microbrushes that come with their kits - you get three, each a different size. They are like tiny (really tiny), plastic Q-tips.
Just discovered you can buy 10 of them at a time. They work great with regular touch-up paint. $3.95, and $1.70 for shipping in the US. Under $6.00 to your door. I just ordered a package.

Dr. Colorchip is definitely in my future. Glad you posted about the package of microbrushes. Thanks.

What do you all use for buffing?
The super fine paint brushes from the local art supply store (Not the Craft shop) are some of my favorite implements. I've had no trouble adding teensy paint applications.
Professor: Andrew is very correct in his comments about Dr. Colorchip. I have both it and Langka and while each one seems to have its place, it still leaves me wanting more which is what sparked my interest in learning how to wet sand. Our MB got rock showered and needs some serious attention - IMHO, only wetsanding after meticulous paint application is going to be sufficient remedy. Dr. Colorchip for me works best on those little teeny tiny spots generally on the bumper that are just barely nicks into the clearcoat.

Acting on what Wihelm G did for the E93 top maintenance sticky - I've turned the original post into a *pdf to make sure the pics and text don't get lost. Plus, I wanted a copy I could print and take out into the garage as reference.

Great write up and detail but this takes BIG BALLS!! Think I'll just dab it with the touch-up and run..lol
If you check the photo of the paint after it dried overnight (the first layer), you'll see the paint is level and shiny inside the chip. I knew I was going to sand, so the second and third layers intentionally went outside. If you just gradually build up inside the chip, you can get pretty good results. But it takes patience, a small applicator, and a very steady hand. And sometimes those repairs are more likely to "pop" out when buffing/polishing/waxing the area.
If you have access to an old panel (something you don't care about messing up), one thing I highly recommend is intentionally sanding throguh the clearcoat to see what is like, and how much it takes. Don't just sand like crazy, but sand a bit then wipe like you would if you were repairing. This will give you an idea of how far is too far - but beware, all paint is different thickness (thus the excellent recommendation by ILoveMyCar to invest in a paint guage, if you can afford it and think you'll be doing this much).
Another tip to ease into it is to begin compounding out scratches and scuffs you find. You'll begin to get a feel for how deep a scratch you can buff out, and you'll start to see that the everyday RIDS (random isolated deeper scratches) you get from day to day driving are actually much deeper than 2500 or 3000 grit sandpaper.

Un gros merci au flâneur en cabriolet!!!
This post came just in time as my wife's Subaru Outback requires some minor paint correction. One question for Andrew, would the same methodology also apply to the painted plastic facia (bumper cover)?

Filmmaker Sarah Polley is compelled to explore her own family past, with the help of her own family.
It begins with a voiceover, someone quoting Margaret Atwood, an elderly Englishman's voice: "When you're in the middle of a story, it isn't a story at all, it's a confusion." We then see Sarah Polley — Canadian actress and director (Away From Her, Take This Waltz) — walking the puffing narrator up a long flight of stairs and into a recording studio. Meanwhile, a montage shows other as-yet-unnamed interview subjects mic-ing up in a variety of domestic settings (except one, in black and white, a blonde from a Mad Men past). They converse and joke with Polley. You sense nervousness, but also familiarity. Who are these people? A confusion indeed.
The silver-haired English gent, revealed as Polley's dad, is just as nonplussed. "It isn't the normal way of doing it," he notes of her two-camera technique. Another of the interviewees, now clearly a close relative urged by Polley to "tell the whole story", wonders: "Who fuckin' cares about our family?" You might wonder the same. By the end of Stories We Tell, though, the answer is obvious: you do, and everybody should. The 'spoiler-sensitive' documentary is becoming a common occurrence, and not an unwelcome one (The Imposter, Searching For Sugarman). The same is true of Stories We Tell.
As the title suggests, it is a film about narrative. It is also a film about memory and family and secrets and love. In one sense, it is a true-life origin story. It is a mystery, too, best enjoyed from that starting point of pure confusion. Using interviews, archive footage and what can only be reconstructions of recent events starring herself and her interviewees, Polley resolutely dives into a personal, but shared, past where fact and recollection blur. She pulls rugs out from under our feet as she had them pulled out from under her own. Then, like an intrepid archaeologist who has found unexpected treasure in their own backyard, she digs in again and searches deeper.
It is a fascinating journey, impeccably crafted. It takes you from fearing you've blundered into someone's home movie to realising you are in fact watching something truly unique and universal. The littlest myths, it turns out, can reveal the biggest truths.
Polleys fearless personal journey is a huge achievement, a genuine revelation but the less detail you know beforehand, the better. Go in cold, come out warmed.

Originally written on Start 'N' Park Blog | Last updated 9/9/14
HOMESTEAD, FL - NOVEMBER 19: Marcos Ambrose, driver of the Clorox Toyota, stands on the grid during qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 19, 2010 in Homestead, Florida. (Photo by Todd Warshaw/Getty Images for NASCAR)
Start 'N' Park Blog is taking a look back at the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver by driver. This recap will take a look at the driver's stats, the season's highlights, the season's lowlights, what a quick look at next year. This installment takes a look back at Marcos Ambrose who finished in the 18th place in the final standings. 2012 Statistics: Points: 950 Position: 18th Preseason Pick: 16th Starts: 36 Poles: 2 Wins: 1 Top 5s: 3 Top 10s: 8 DNFs: 4 Earnings: $4,767,873 What Was Said Prior To The Season: "Marcos got his first win at Watkins Glen last year and now finds himself as the top dog at Richard Petty Motorsports. He should benefit from that, but I don't see him breaking into the Chase right away. This pick of 16th is about where he was before, good runs, bad runs, then mostly average runs. I do see him continuing to improve, I just hope he has the time to do so. Only thing I would change about this team is the number on the side of the car, that style looks terrible!" What Happened In 2012: Ambrose put himself in the Chase conversation with another August win at Watkins Glen. He was never a threat, but thanks to wins counting more he could not be written off. Ambrose had stretches of great runs, such as in August he won at Watkins Glen, and then had back to back fifth place finishes at Michigan and Bristol. It seemed that the team could get all on the same page, then someone would shred those notes, and they would start all over again. On To 2013: As with teammate Almriola's outlook, I think this team can turn the corner and make more noise in 2013. The pieces are in place, it will just be a matter of them consistently performing. Ambrose finished the year on not a great note, but they figure to start strong at Daytona.

Contemporary best-sellers this week
This week on the contemporary best-seller list, Laura Kasischke's Space, In Chains infiltrates the stronghold of the top five, coming in at #4. The other titles in the top five remain unchanged from last week, with Michael Robbins's Alien vs. Predator battling back to #1. New to the list is a remarkable cadre of dudes: Thomas P. Lynch, Glenn Shaheen, Hayden Carruth, John Brehm, Lew Welch, and David Elliott. From the dude-list here, we can look at two titles dealing with finality. Last Poems by Hayden Carruth, which debuts at #17, makes for an excellent capstone to this poet's long and prolific career. Publishers Weekly notes, "This unusual book combines his last 40 pages of unpublished poetry with the final poem from each of his previous books, making for a powerful monument to this poet's career. The new poems are, unsurprisingly, elegiac, full of conversational good-byes and regrets buoyed by a dash of kind humor." Secondly, and finally, Lew Welch's long out of print collected poems, Ring of Bone, appears in an expanded edition. Originally edited by Donald Allen shortly after Welch's assumed suicide in 1971 (his body was never found), "Ring of Bone collects poems, songs, and some drawings, documenting the full sweep of Welch's creative output, from his early years until just before his disappearance. This new expanded edition includes a biographic timeline, a statement of poetics gleaned from Welch's own writing and a new forword by close friend, Gary Snyder."

Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God
by Rainer Maria Rilke
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Very fine translations!
I sought this out because of a Times review where nothing was actually said about the new translations. Rather, its focus was on the biography--especially his relations with women. Excerpt from review:
Rilke's diaries from this period dwell at some length on the effect he has on others. In the artists' colony in Worpswede, in Lower Saxony, where he was staying in 1899, for example, he reports how he read poems about the Annunciation and the Last Judgement "with the lustre that characterises my voice". Verses removed from his diary but later published in The Book of Images (Buch der Bilder, 1902) begin "Whoever now is weeping somewhere in the world, / weeping without reason in the world, / is weeping about me" – or, in the next stanza, laughing at him.
First of all, I have to clarify: I'm not a student of the English language or poetry, so my feelings for these poems, like most of us, are truly from my personal perspective. From the those poems that we all had to read in school, and the few that I occasional encounter here or there, I have never been affected as deeply as the writing of Rainer Maria Rilke. Since Rilke wrote in German, it's a wonder how English translations of his works still affect me so deeply and effortlessly.
This edition celebrates the 100th anniversary of the release of this 135 poems by Rilke to the public, by the Insel Verlag of Leipzig. These poems Rilke viewed as private and as intimate as his prayers to God, and they also represent his true poetic legacy. That was why they were not originally released to the public. Rilke was only 23 years old when he started writing the poems in this collection. He had already published three volumes of other poems prior. Although I do not know German, the translation of these poems by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy appeared and sounded perfect to me when I read each and all poems over and over again. Someday I'll read another translation of the same title to compare the accuracy and wording but at the mean time, this is truly a 5-star book. Also, do not let the title deter you...These poems do have the same resonance on your heart and soul whether if you are religious or not.
"You, my own deep soul,
trust me. I will not betray you.
My blood is alive with many voices
telling me I am made of longing.
What mystery breaks over me now?
In its shadow I come into life.
For the first time I am alone with you-
You, my power to feel."
Absolutely beautiful collection! Includes the original German as well as Barrows/Macy's unique and lovely English translations. My only "complaint" is that it doesn't include all of the poems (though most are there). The commentaries at the beginning and end discuss how the translations came about and other translator decisions. Inspiring collection!
Love ripens us whether we are walking the paths of human loves or the paths that include the love of the divine. This set of poems has become a classic to readers among both the religious and the non-religious who would open their hearts to embrace the unknown gifts of life and love's ripening. I personally find this translation wonderful. I don't speak or read German so I can't say that this translation is a more accurate one or not. What I can say is that among the several different translations I own, this one engages my heart in ways the others did not.
This book has Rilke's original German poems on the left hand page, and Babette Deutsch's translations on the right. The main problem is that the translations are not very good. They are too ornate, and include words and phrases which are not included in Rilke's orginal.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0810118882, Paperback)A bilingual edition of a seminal work by the greatest German poet of the twentieth century.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:20:14 -0400)
At the beginning of this century, a young German poet returned from a journey to Russia, where he had immersed himself in the spirituality he discovered there. He "received" a series of poems about which he did not speak for a long time - he considered them sacred, and different from anything else he ever had done and ever would do again. This poet saw the coming darkness of the century, and saw the struggle we would have in our relationship to the divine. The poet was Rainer Maria Rilke, and these love poems to God make up his Book of Hours.… (more)

Drop in range versus self standing for narrow area
A couple of questions:
Why are drop-in ranges more expensive than free-standing ranges, when it seems as if it would be the other way around because the sides are not finished?
I am told that a drop-in range might be the only kind narrow enough to fit the cut-out area in my new house. I just found out the hard way that a standard 30 inch free-standing range, which is actually slightly less than 30 inches wide, will not fit the space. I'm going to return it to the retailer. Meanwhile, I've been comparing the specs I find online and have yet to find anything, including a drop in range, that is significantly narrower than the one I ordered.
I know there used to be a range in this kitchen, because I first saw the house before the appliances were sold. I just have no idea how to go about finding one to fit. The cutout area is almost exactly thirty inches wide, slightly narrower at the top because the granite countertops overlap the cabinets by a small amount.
The space was obviously intended to accommodate a 30 inch range, not the 24 inch apartment range. My neighbor's home was purchased from the same builder and has the many of the same finishes, although her kitchen is configured differently. Her range is a dropin, so the top of it seems to rest on top of the countertop a bit like a dropin sink. I could look for one like hers, but I don't want to order another range based on a rough measurement of the 30 inch cutout and wind up having to pay a return and restocking fee. AGAIN.
If I shop for a dropin range, where and how should I be measuring the space I have to accommodate what is listed as the 'cutout' width? Why do the specs for dropin ranges show TWO different measurements for width?
Okay, make it three questions:
Can a range be hooked up by an amateur? I thought it could just be plugged into the appropriate outlet like a refrigerator, but now I learn that the 4-prong cord comes separately and has to be connected to the stove.
In summary: HEEEEEELP
There are two measurements that matter. The space between the cabinets, and the size of the cutout in the countertop. If you have 30" between the cabinets, a slide in should fit. The opening may not be parallel...something you have to check.
The opening for the top (on a drop in) should be approximately 1/4" - 3/8" smaller than the outer rim of the cooktop. The corners matter. If it was a new installation, the template for the cooktop would have a certain radius for the corners. If the cutout is existing from a previoius installation the corners could be a different radius, and either may need to be cut to fit, or could be too large and not covering the hole.
Your electrical cord is likely for 220V and there should be a schematic showing what colors go on which connections.
Thanks, Cabinetman.
sbrink, I have what you refer to a "slide in range" where the top flange sits on the counter top, and it still requires a 30-1/4" opening.
It would be helpful if you measured the opening width and depth and include this in a post. Sounds a bit peculiar as I would think that these dimensions would be standard.
If you don't want to bring the range back, you could always recut the counter top, if there isn't a cabinet in the way.
Any of the big box stores will carry the plug and the connection to the stove is not to difficult, you'll need a screw driver and a nut driver.
Thanks, I am returning the stand-alone range and looking at slide-ins like yours. Since my countertop is granite, shaving the edges looks to be a pretty expensive proposition.
Unfortunately, the slide-in ranges are a lot more expensive than the stand-alone ranges and i'm not sure why that should be the case. With the same features and in the same brands, the starting price for a slide-in is typically a couple hundred dollars more than for a stand-alone range.
Life! Complicated.
What is the openning size on your counter?
With a slide in you will need, I believe like, 3" to 4" behind the unit for the rear flange to sit on, do you have this?
Like I said, the "Slide-in" needs 30-1/4"
I'd bring a picture of the set up you have so they can look at it and determine if any modification can be done.

i was looking at the new style s&w sigmas and i liked the price, and the feel would that be a reasonable starting duty pistol or is there somthing better in the 3-4 hundred dollar range any info would be helpful
Printable View
i was looking at the new style s&w sigmas and i liked the price, and the feel would that be a reasonable starting duty pistol or is there somthing better in the 3-4 hundred dollar range any info would be helpful
I would think it depends on the agency you are hiring on to and their policy. What firearms are authorized by that department? Will they allow you to carry your own?
I don't know much about the Sigmas, but I don't recall hearing much good about them.
What about a Springfield XD or a Glock?
I've also heard mostly negative things about them. Check out the Ruger line too.
The negatives mostly come from people that don't have them. They do have a long trigger pull, but that is the only negative I have with mine. It is 100% reliable with any ammo. The early ones had some problems, but if you are looking at the VE Series, these have been worked out. They are probably the best bang for the buck out there. Go over to the S&W Forum and ask the guys that have them. I will buy another in .40 cal. one day.
You should consider looking that the summitgunbrokers.com site. They sell police turn-ins and the like. I don't have anything against the Sigmas, but Summit sells quite a few pistols that I would prefer to have, for about the same price. For example, a like-new S&W 4046 for $295.....
The S&W 3rd gen pistols are superior as are the Ruger P-series(especially the P90). A S&W 686 or Ruger GP-100 are as all-purpose as you can get with a sidearm.
we are allowed to carry our own handgun, in fact it is encouraged, no revolvers has to be semi-auto, and i belive it has to be .380, 9mm and .40 cal, thanks for the insight and anymore info would be helpful i want to make sure i get something that i will like and be reliable in the long run, i know the best way is to shoot them all but we have nothing like that near where i am so i have to go with my instinct and from what i can get from other people that have experience like you guys. thanks
You work for an agency that allows .380 as a duty weapon? My I ask where you are from?
my bad i wasn't thinking duty weapon on that one, basicly i am looking for a 9mm or a 40. i had just got off work last night when i posted that and we were talking guns and for some reason i had .380 stuck in my head
i went and looked around some more today and looked at the springfield XD i found them here where i live for 450 dollars is that a good price on one, the s&W M&P were going for 490 dollars, i guess i can live with those prices it a little out of my range but not by too much so would the XD make for a good starting duty gun???
1. I would suggest that you have a good talk with your training officer. I'm not sure about now but at one time you could buy guns from police distrubitors on a Chief of police letter of authorization, for less than the local gun shop could get the same thing from their distributors.
2. Do you really want a "starter" gun for duty? Does your Department have any Requirements? Ie. TDA or DAO Is SA ok? Safety lever or decocker only? Is there a minimum trigger pull weight required? A good quality semi auto pistol should last for your whole career so why skimp especially if you are serious about law enforcement. Ask a lot of questions, take your time and get the best you can afford. Jim
I would personally go with the Glock 22 or XD .40 cal.
ok so i went and looked around today again, and a gun shop just north of where i live has 2 glocks that came from a local police dept, traded in, i dont remeber what model but they were glocks, i like the feel of them more than the other 2 guns i have tried, i cant shoot them before hand but they feel good and the price is good, the only want $390 dollars no more than 500 rounds through them either would that be a really good price?????

As the stories collected in this special issue
of GW Magazine illustrate, the University
is a leading force in research and practice that
affect and involve people on every continent.
Our efforts in teaching, research, and service
are global in a complex sense: On one hand, we
are blending experiences, points of view, voices,
and languages into new insights; on the other
hand, we are distinguishing and celebrating culturally
unique experiences, points of view, voices, and
languages. We recognize the good fortune represented
by our location in an international city, while
we pursue our global mission with more than the
occasional e-mail.
This spring and summer, GW faculty members, in
cooperation with the Office for Special and International
Programs, have organized and led programs in England,
France, Spain, Belgium, Eastern Europe, India,
Argentina, Panama, Chile, and China. Hundreds
of graduate and undergraduate students have been
served through courses that offered extraordinary
experiential and classroom learning opportunities.
Among our undergraduates, hundreds more have participated
in programs offered through affiliated study abroad
organizations and institutions. The number of
GW students studying abroad has grown so significantly
over the past several years that we have been
ranked 11th in the nation for the percentage of
the student body studying overseas. Beyond this,
many of our faculty members have participated
in scholarly research and conferences overseas,
presenting findings in concert with colleagues
in multiple countries. And our International Services
Office welcomes hundreds of students from overseas
to our Washington campus each year.
These students, most of whom are with us through
their full degree sequence, bring unique perspectives
to GW classrooms, as students from a vast variety
of U.S. and overseas backgrounds put their heads
together over topics from math to music. This
is the state of play for a major university such
as GW.
In every corner of our institution, you will
find international people and people with highly
developed international expertise. Even our neighborhood,
with the International Monetary Fund, Organization
of American States, World Health Organization,
and the State Department, bespeaks the global
nature of GW.
Our commitment to world issues is broad and
deep. I hope those whose energy and vision have
brought us to this point will enjoy seeing a small
sampling of what it means to be a world-class
and world-embracing institution.
Bon voyage!

im a sponger, could i still be in the surf club? im a junior in high school now and i got a high eighties average so far. What temp does the water get at lowest there? im in md now and it gets so cold
you do not wanna come here. the surf sucks the parking sucks they charge to much for parking and wilmington just sucks all over.
Wilmington isn't too bad, it's safe as long as you're not a drunk idiot running around downtown at 2 am. That being said there's a lot of agro marines and though there are a lot of chicks, most of them are taken. UNCW is about as safe of a campus as you can get though. I don't know if you really need a 3.7 GPA to get in. Maybe, but it seems the students are not exactly top notch. I am a teaching assistant and I have a lot of dummies in the classes that I help out with so I don't know how these kids can have high gpa's, even in high school. The waves can be pretty bad. I will say it's pretty consistent here for the east coast but its usually small and windy. It gets pretty freaking cold here in the winter too. I think water temps bottom out around 46, it's about 47 right now. You can go surfing a lot but quality surf is quite a rarity around here and there's always plenty of 'friends' to join you when it is good, especially in WB.

SPLOST VI Meeting Set for Today
SPLOST VI discussions between Stephens County and the county's municipalities will continue at a meeting this morning.
All sides are set to meet for another joint SPLOST VI meeting at 9 a.m. today in the second-floor courtroom of the historic Stephens County Courthouse in downtown Toccoa.
County government officials, along with officials from Toccoa, Martin, and Avalon have met over recent months to try to reach an intergovernmental agreement covering the split of SPLOST VI revenues and what projects will be funded with those revenues, if voters approve SPLOST VI at the polls this November.
Stephens County officials have proposed that the county receive 75 percent of SPLOST VI revenues, up from the approximately 65 percent that the county is receiving under the current SPLOST.
On the other hand, Toccoa city officials said they want to continue to receive 35 percent of SPLOST revenues out of SPLOST VI. That is what the city is getting out of SPLOST V.
Martin and Avalon are also looking to both receive SPLOST VI funds. Martin received $200,000 in SPLOST V, while Avalon did not receive SPLOST V money.
County officials said they are still working to determine if Avalon is eligible to receive SPLOST funds as a municipality.
All of the sides have until the later part of next month to reach an intergovernmental agreement on SPLOST VI.
If no agreement is reached, SPLOST VI would be limited to five years instead of six if voters approve it. Meanwhile, the county would receive the first 20 percent of SPLOST VI collections in a five-year scenario. The remaining 80 percent of the five-year SPLOST collections would then be divided between the county and the municipalities based on population.

well, i hit a pot hole, now theres this air bubble in the sidewall of my drivers side front tire. thankfully i have a warranty to get it replaced for free but, i wont be able to until a week from now. ive heard driving on it is very dangerous, could possibly blow out (is this true also? or should i be ok for a week driving less than 150 miles)... anyhow i figured putting the spare to drive around on for a week would be the smartest thing to do, the thing is i have after market 22" rims, and a 17" full sized spare(the one that came with the truck 07 silverado)
the tires on the truck are 285/40R22
and the spare is a P265/70R17
about 1inch difference in diameter, its only a 2wd drive.. is it ok/safe to drive around for a week on these different sized tires? will it harm my truck? anything i should look out for(not going on the freeway etc.)??? thank you for all your help and advice
