Honestly, I never thought I'd be eating a tomato from my garden on July 12, but this year on that very date I sliced a perfectly red and juicy variety of Mighty 'Mato, a grafted tomato grown on a hardy tomato rootstock. Usually I don't cut into my first fruit till nearly the end of August.
Two more bigger fruits ripened within a couple of days. I couldn't believe my luck.
A grafted tomato? Never heard of such a thing, you say, but apparently gardeners in Australia and Italy have been growing them for six or seven years, and they were introduced in Canada this year. Grafting is an age-old technique that joins the top of one plant (the scion) with the root of another, without any genetic modification of the upper part of the plant. My uncle did this with his apple trees, producing several varieties on one tree, but I'd never heard of grafting tomatoes. But it's being done with eggplant and hot and sweet peppers, too.
According to SuperNatural Grafted Vegetables, a California company that produces and sells the grafted material to wholesale growers in the US and Canada, grafted plants are stronger and more vigorous than seed-grown tomatoes; have bigger fruits, larger and longer harvests; withstand temperature swings and other environmental stresses; resist pathogens, pests and soil-borne diseases, including nematodes, and also resist blossom end rot, my particular nemesis.
That's a lot to live up to, especially with tomatoes. I never believe the hype till I've tried the product, and too often reality sets in. So far, this is not the case with Mighty 'Mato. It's not the end of the season yet, but to this point they've definitely they've lived up to their billing.
Okay, full disclosure here: I was given four Mighty 'Mato plants at a media luncheon put on by Loblaws,which sells it in its garden centres, in early May. One plant–the one that bore me that first delicious fruit–was maybe 18 inches tall, the others were five-inch seedlings in a cardboard box. I grew them on in little pots and in early June planted all of them out in bigger pots in my driveway–which is where I grow lettuce and beans, too, because I have no space in my perennial beds. That's fine, said Bob Martin of Martin Farms in Vineland, Ontario, which raises Mighy'Mato to selling size for Loblaws. "They do well containers because they're like goldfish," he said, and will grow only large enough to fill the space allotted to them.
The plant that delivered the early fruit wasn't labelled; at first it looked evenly round, like an Early Girl, but the second and third fruits are bigger, so I won't hazard a guess. The others are Brandywine, Indigo Apple and Bumblebee Purple. They all have fruit now, some tiny; Indigo Apple's are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and they have a dark indigo pattern on top and a green base. It's the only one of the three close to ripening. But it's still early, isn't it? If the plants continue to live up to their hype, I should have ripe tomatoes soon.
Mighty 'Mato produces 39 varieties, from Paul Robeson to Julia Child, plus Manitoba, for short season areas. Not all wholesalers grow on all of them, of course, nor do all retailers stock everything a wholesaler grows.
Grafted tomatoes cannot be planted as I and many gardeners do with "ordinary" tomato plants, with the stem buried partway in the ground to encourage more root growth. This would make the rootstock sprout and cancel out the value of the above-ground graft. Nowhere can I find what rootstock is used, but I read that it's a wild type that would produce "small green fruits not fit for human consumption."
Grafted tomatoes are big plants–up to six feet tall and with a root ball twice as big as the usual tomato plant–and need strong support. I wish I'd paid attention to Bob Martin when he suggested using really big pots if that's how you're going to grow them. A couple of mine are in 16-inch pots, which are simply not big enough–the plants get top heavy and blow over in a brisk breeze. And ordinary tomato cages aren't enough, either–I fortified my plants with taller bamboo teepees inside the tomato cages, and I've had to insert heavy stakes as well. I hope there's room in the pots for those roots!
I've been careful to keep these tomatoes evenly watered, as I would any container-grown tomato, to prevent blossom-end rot. I've seen no sign of it so far–fingers crossed! I've fed the plants a couple of times to this point with a liquid tomato fertilizer, which I also do every year with my seed-grown tomato plants. But until I read my notes from the luncheon I'd forgotten that Martin advised against using Miracle Grow for Mighty 'Mato plants. "It encourages too much growth," he said. "Instead, use an organic or time-released dry product."
He also advised pruning indeterminate varieties to get more fruit, and said that indeterminate plants will develop thick stems if pruned.
One caveat: good-sized grafted tomato plants aren't cheap, about 12 bucks each. For that I could buy maybe three baskets of local tomatoes and avoid the work of growing them. But then I wouldn't be able to choose from all those heirloom varieties, nor would I get to feel like a farmer and live up to my heritage.
It's too late to grow these this year, but next year check out Loblaw's garden centres–and more. Who knows–others may be stocking them too.

Time is now to invest in Zunino, Buxton04/11/2013 9:06 AM ET
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com
This is the first edition of what will be a regular feature in which we use a Minor League perspective to give you the edge in your fantasy league. Have a fantasy question? Tweet it to @MiLB or @AshMarshallMLB with the hashtag #fantasyfocus.
Here's a look at what baseball's top 10 prospects did in the season's first week, what Minor League rehabs you need to be aware of and why you should buy low on Mike Zunino before his hot start gets noticed by other owners in your league.
We also ask whether Boston's Jackie Bradley Jr. will have a meaningful impact for fantasy owners looking for another outfielder and why it's worth following the progress of 2012 draftee Bryon Buxton.
Top 10 Prospects
Rehabs of note
Cody Ross recorded one hit in 12 at-bats for Class A Visalia, striking out three times and recording two RBIs as a designated hitter. Recovering from a left calf strain that limited him to four Spring Training games, Ross could take part in an extended spring training game Thursday before rejoining Arizona on Friday.
Because his disabled list stint was backdated to March 22, Ross is eligible to return immediately.
* * *
Dodgers hurler Chad Billinsgley allowed four runs -- three earned -- on seven hits and three walks over four innings for Rancho Cucamonga last Thursday. Rehabbing a bruised right index finger, he struck out two and hit a batter in a 72-pitch outing.
The fact that was was able to throw his curveball was more important than the actual results for Billinsgley, who will rejoin the Dodgers on April 10 in San Diego.
* * *
Ted Lilly (left shoulder surgery) allowed five runs on nine hits, including three home runs, in six innings for Rancho Cucamonga on Friday. He struck out five batters and threw 77 pitches.
On Wednesday, he surrendered six runs -- five earned -- on eight hits and a walk over six frames for the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes. The Dodgers will now decide if he's ready to return.
* * *
David Ortiz (right heel) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday night. You can watch all of his at bats for as long as he stays with Pawtucket on MiLB.TV.
Stock Up, Stock Down
Stock up: Mike Zunino
After flourishing in his professional debut with Class A Short-Season Everett and Double-A Jackson, Zunino has taken off again at Triple-A Tacoma. He went 9-for-21 with four homers and 16 RBIs in his first five games with the Rainiers. Those clips will be impossible to continue as the season goes on, but such a hot streak certainly isn't out of the ordinary for the 2012 Gold Spikes winner.
The Mariners have Jesus Montero behind the plate, but it's long been thought he'd be best served as a DH. If Zunino comes close to continuing his current level of production, he'll be in the Majors within months. With hitting a premium at the catcher position, he's worth a pickup now if you have the roster space.
Mike Zunino stats
Stock down: Caleb Gindl
Gindl -- the Brewers' No. 18 prospect -- is starting his third straight season at Triple-A Nashville and hasn't shown a strong mastery of the level in the early going. He was just 1-for-19 with seven strikeouts in the Sounds' first five games of the season before breaking out a bit with a 3-for-5 showing along with his first homer of the season on Tuesday. Still, a slow start hasn't done much for the stock of a 24-year-old who projected as a fourth-outfield type anyways.
Finders Keepers
Byron Buxton: There's always a prospect, even a highly touted one like Buxton, who shoots up the organizational ladder a little quicker than expected. Time will tell if the Twins outfielder will be the next one, but the early returns have been fantastic. In his first five games with Class A Cedar Rapids, MLB.com's No. 19 prospect is 10-for-20 with two homers, a triple, a double, six RBIs and two stolen bases. Some believe he was the best overall talent in the 2012 Draft, and it's shown in the early going.
Under the Radar
Brandon Moss ran up OPS marks of .800, .877 and .952 in the three Minor League stints preceding his Major League breakout last season. Moss had always hit in the Minors but hadn't really cracked big league pitching untill, seemingly out of nowhere, the long-time Minor Leaguer hit to a .291/.371/.582 line with 21 homers in 84 games for the A's last season.
Dubbing someone the "next Brandon Moss" is hazardous terrain, particularly because the kind of breakout Moss had last year almost never happens.
But if anyone could lay claim to having a shot at the title, it might be Gwinnett's Ernesto Mejia. The 27-year-old Venezuelan, unlike Moss, has never had a shot in the bigs, but in his last two seasons in the International League he's registered .906 and .849 OPS marks (along with an .891 OPS in the Venezuelan Winter League this past offseason), hitting 40 home runs in 270 games in the process. If Freddie Freeman continues to miss time, Mejia just might get a shot in Atlanta, and, like Moss before him, might use that time to hit a whole bunch.
Will He Stick?
Jackie Bradley Jr.: In his first week-plus in the Majors, Bradley's shown a patient approach at the plate (six walks in seven games) unseen in most rookie hitters and has exhibited his trademark high-quality defense despite making the move to left field for the first time as a pro. Bradley has not, however, been making solid contact at the plate, with three hits in 23 at-bats (.130 average).
MLB.com's No. 32 prospect's near-term future on Boston's 25-man is primarily dependent on David Ortiz's health. The Red Sox designated hitter is expected to return within the month in which case Bradley's likely the first one back to Triple-A Pawtucket, barring a breakout string of performances between now and then. Be prepared to move him if you need immediate playing time in your outfield, but if you can afford to hold onto Bradley, do so as he is considered a long-term solution in the Red Sox outfield. He projects to be an asset in runs, stolen bases and OBP from the start.

Singling out a stat
There were eight Triple-A players who stole 30 or more bases in 2012, plus 15 more who accomplished the same feat at Double-A. Here are a few Minor Leaguers who could make an impact with their legs if given the Major League call:
Billy Hamilton is the easy choice, but even with his hot start (six steals in first four games) there's no guarantee he'll get enough big league at-bats to make that much impact in 2013. In keeper leaguers and dynasty leagues, obviously take a shot.
Adam Eaton, by contrast, should be owned in most leagues already. If injuries scared people off, don't be afraid to snap him up and stash him away. At the very least, keep him on your watch list for a month. He stole 38 bases in 48 attempts for Reno last year, leading to 119 runs scored. He has a decent eye and good plate patience, and though he won't harm your average or on-base percentage, he won't do too much for your power numbers. Still, if it's speed you're after, he is a good bet. He's on the DL with an elbow injury, so the legs are fine.
Other names to keep track of are Luis Durango (who led the PCL with 48 steals), Jimmy Paredes (37 steals in 124 games) and Jake Elmore (32 steals in 40 tries). For a more prospect-centric approach, pay attention to Houston's Jonathan Villar who starts the year in Oklahoma City, Rays shortstop Hak-Ju Lee in Durham and especially Aaron Hicks, who already cracked the Twins lineup.

Ethanol made from corn and other crops
Ethanol is a clear, colorless alcohol made from the sugars found in grains such as corn, sorghum, and barley, as well as potato skins, rice, sugar cane, sugar beets, and yard clippings. Ethanol is a renewable fuel because it is made from plants. Ethanol can be made from these sources in several ways.
The most common ethanol production processes today use yeast to ferment the sugars and starch in corn. Corn is the main ingredient for fuel ethanol in the United States because of its abundance and low price. Most ethanol is produced in corn-growing states in the Midwest. The starch in the corn is fermented into sugar, which is then fermented into alcohol.
Sugar cane and sugar beets are the most common ingredients used to make ethanol in other parts of the world. Because alcohol is created by fermenting sugar, sugar crops are the easiest ingredients to convert into alcohol. Brazil, the world's second-largest fuel ethanol producer, makes most of its ethanol from sugar cane. Most of the cars in Brazil are capable of running on pure ethanol or on a blend of gasoline and ethanol.
Cellulosic ethanol
Ethanol can also be produced by breaking down cellulose in woody fibers. Cellulosic ethanol is considered an advanced biofuel and involves a more complicated production process than the process used to make conventional ethanol.
Trees and grasses are potential feedstocks (the raw material needed to make a product) for cellulosic ethanol production. Trees and grasses require less energy, fertilizers, and water to grow than grains do, and they can also be grown on lands that are not suitable for growing food. Scientists have developed fast-growing trees that grow to full size in 10 years. Many grasses can produce two harvests a year for many years without annual replanting.
History of ethanol
In the 1850s, ethanol was a major lighting fuel. During the Civil War, a liquor tax was placed on ethanol to raise money for the war. The tax increased the price of ethanol so much that it could no longer compete with other fuels like kerosene. Ethanol production declined sharply because of this tax, and production levels did not begin to recover until the tax was repealed in 1906.
The Model T ran on ethanol
In 1908, Henry Ford designed his Model T, a very early automobile, to run on a mixture of gasoline and alcohol. Ford called this mixture the fuel of the future. In 1919, when Prohibition began, ethanol was banned because it was considered an alcoholic beverage. It could only be sold when mixed with petroleum. Ethanol was used as a fuel again after Prohibition ended in 1933.
Ethanol is once again used to fuel automobiles
Ethanol use increased temporarily during World War II when oil and other resources were scarce. In the 1970s, interest in ethanol as a transportation fuel was revived as oil embargoes, rising oil prices, and growing dependence on imported oil increased interest in alternative fuels. Since that time, ethanol use and production has been encouraged by tax benefits and by environmental regulations that require cleaner-burning fuels.
In 2005, Congress enacted a Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) that set minimum requirements for the use of renewable fuels, including ethanol. In 2007, the RFS renewable fuel use targets were set to rise steadily to a level of 36 billion gallons by 2022. In 2015, about 14 billion gallons of ethanol were added to the gasoline consumed in the United States.

I have a quick question for anyone that can help. Last year I added another tooth to the front sprocket of my bike expecting to get more top end. Instead for addin more top end it dropped about 8 mph. I talked to a service department of a bike shop today and they told me that I may need to drop a tooth instead of addin a tooth. I was just wondering if that could possible work or was this guy pullin my leg tryin to make another sale. It's not like this is an expensive part but don't want to waste money. Any advise would be helpful. The original sprocket had sixteen teeth and the one that I have on it now has seventeen. Thanks in advance for any help that you may be able to provide me with.
Thanks for the advise guys. My bike is, don't laugh, a 2004 Kawasaki 500 Vulcan. The original sprockets sizes are 16 tooth front and 42 tooth back. With the original front sprocket it topped out at 102 mph. With a 17 tooth front sprocket it tops out at 94 mph. The ultimate goal is to gain a little more gas mileage. With the 17 tooth front sprocket it dropped my mileage by a couple of mpg.

We have simulated the formation and evolution of comet 1P/Halley's meteoroid stream by ejecting particles from the nucleus 5000 years ago and propagating them forward to the present. Our aim is to determine the existence and characteristics of associated meteor showers at Mars and Venus and compare them with 1P/Halley's two known showers at the Earth. We find that one shower should be present at Venus and two at Mars. The number of meteors in those atmospheres would, in general, be less than that at the Earth. The descending node branch of the Halley stream at Mars exhibits a clumpy structure. We identified at least one of these clumps as particles trapped in the 7:1 mean motion resonance with Jupiter, potentially capable of producing meteor ourbursts of ZHR~ 1000 roughly once per century.

Rob Bell / Love Wins Review – Chapters 5 & 6
March 30, 2011 by 2 Comments
Chapter 5 Synopsis:
He starts out doing very typical atonement theology. This will not sit well with those who want to make penal substitutionary atonement the lone or controlling metaphor for atonement, but I think he does a fair job of kind beginning to talk about the other word pictures in use in the bible – Relational/adoption: mending relationship, Christus Victor: a battle that's been one, Economic: redeeming something that was lost.
In the conversation about the resurrection, Bell writes a wonderfully concise telling of the 7 signs / 7 days of creation / resurrection on the 8th day stuff in John. This exegetical association is incredibly complicated & I've worked many times to try and tell this with brevity. I'm a little mystified as to how well Bell did it in an extremely short section of an already short chapter, but he did it well – kudos to him on that. What he's driving at is that the future hope is resurrection. The end in mind is New Creation. The scope of new creation is not just human beings, it is cosmic.
"A gospel that leaves out its cosmic scope will always feel small. A gospel that has as its chief message avoiding hell or not sinning will never be the full story. A gospel that repeatedly, narrowly affirms and bolsters the 'in-ness" of one group at the expense of the "out-ness" of another group will not be true to the story that includes "All things and people in heaven and on earth." His critique here is that making the whole story about getting peopel into heaven/hell misses the cosmic nature of the story. It's bigger than that – it's about everything that has ever existed.
Death and resurrection isn't just a tale about what happens after you die. Dying is a part of life, even our everyday life. Your skin dies & is replaced. The leaves die and come back in the spring. All of the food you eat is dead (I hope). All of life works like this – it's God's economy (my words, not his). When we die to ourselves, there is a little resurrection. When we die to each other, the same; when we die to sin, desire, power, violence, we become alive in brand new ways. That is not disconnected from the cross – no story of death and resurrection ever is. "Because that's how the universe works. That's what Jesus does. Death and resurrection. Old life for new life; one passes away, the other comes. Friday, then Sunday. You die, and you're reborn. It's like that."
My Thoughts: Again, this is very straight forward theology of New Creation. The scope of God's salvation through Jesus Christ is not merely aimed toward discrete individual souls, but all things in heaven and on earth. The way this happens is death and resurrection. You get no resurrection without a death; death and resurrection as integral parts of life here and now – not just in the afterlife, etc. It's a good concise chapter helping keep the broader, epic nature of the story in mind. There isn't a hint of controvery here except for those who wish to enlarge the atonement metaphor of penal substitution and make it the whole gospel. He is broadening that category, rightly I say, to include all of the biblical metaphors – as we should do.
Chapter 6 Synopsis:
This chapter is on the incarnation. It is discussed, again, in cosmic terms. According to the scriptures the incarnation of God in Christ is for the salvation of all things. Jesus is bigger than any box we put him in, including Christianity. "He is present within al cultures, and yet outside of all cultures. He is for all people, and yet he refuses to be co-opted or owned by any one culture. That includes any Christian culture…we cannot claim him to be ours any more than he's anyone else's."
Sometimes missionaries go to another culture – unreached people – to share Christ with them. The people say, "What is his name? We've been talking about him for years…" John 10, "I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen."
My Thoughts:
Bell has a high Christology. He believes Jesus is the only way, which makes him exclusive, but he understands this in the most inclusive way possible. He rightly reminds us that none of us have cornered the market on Jesus, and nobody ever will. Once, Jesus's followers try to get him to shut down a man who is healing in his name. Jesus answers "Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you." Jesus disregards and destroys labels time and time again. This is God's show, not ours. Jesus is doing this and we are not the arbiters of what he will or will not do. God help us if we try to decide who is in and out for eternity.

Why are students experiencing difficulties in writing essay?
There are no doubts that every student is forced to write an essay at school, college or university. There exist many challenges to face in the process of starting coping with this hard task. The first challenge is lack of time in students because there are many activities in people's life to put time and energy in them.

A student needs to realize that every essay is a personal kind of hard work, where is possible to express own thoughts, points of view and existing opinion.

Computing a covariance matrix
Hi all,
I was looking on how to compute a covariance matrix given a set of
measurements and I was utterly frustrated having to jump from one
discussion group to another and harvesting the web through maths
websites having to cope with all sorts of notations. I managed to find
a nice example on how to derive a covariance matrix and decided to
share it with you :)
Go to:
"How the stat packages compute a correlation matrix"
It should be quite easy to understand how it is done. It even shows
you how to standardise the matrix at the end.
I have to emphasize that I am not a math-whiz (however it is spelt), I
was looking on how to derive eigenvectors for an image processing/
mathcing application. I have another nice link somewhere about
calculating eigen matrices, will post that too.
NOTE: this is cross-posted at:

Arsenal have been drawn to face Turkish club Fenerbahce in the Champions League play-offs.
Fenerbahce are awaiting a final ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over whether they will be allowed to go into the competition proper this season, having been banned from competing in Europe by UEFA for match-fixing in domestic competition.
They have challenged that ruling and a CAS verdict is due before the group stage draw is made, but home and away matches against Arsenal stand to go ahead before that decision arrives.
UEFA today said no decision has yet been made regarding what would happen in the event of Fenerbahce winning the tie and losing their CAS appeal.
Fenerbahce finished second in the Turkish Super Lig last season, while Arsenal took fourth place in the Barclays Premier League.
Celtic have been drawn against Shakhter Karagandy of Kazakhstan in what appears a favourable draw, travel notwithstanding, for Neil Lennon's team as they bid to reach the group stages.
Arsene Wenger's men will travel to Sukru Saracoglu Stadium for the first leg on August 21, before hosting the Turkish side at Emirates Stadium six days later.
The Istanbul-based side include former Premier League players Raul Meireles, Dirk Kuyt and Joseph Yobo.

just before painting ?
I have tried to find the last steps after finish sanding and just before color, I can't find it
After finish sanding with 600 gr. wet, what is used to clean any dust just before bc/cc ?
I have only tried base coat clear coat once and i liked the results however I sanded over the base with 600 which your not supposed to do, i didn't know. Your just supposed to lay the clear right over the base. Anyways still came out okay.
i sanded with 100/ 150 grit sprayed primer , sanded that with 400 grit. and that sprayed the Base (sand it after which you dont do) and then the clearcoat.
when you get the paint read the instruction. take a visit to the paint shop. I found it very clear hearing it from them
After wet sanding I wash and dry the car well and make sure to get rid of all wetsanding sludge. Even though some say you shouldn't wash with dishwashing soap, and there is a slight possibility it could lead to fisheyes, I haven't had any problems yet in many years of using it. I dry the car with a chamois, and blow out any cracks and seams. I usually do this the day before painting, so majority of water should be evaporated and not have to worry about it dripping out of somewhere in the midst of painting. I also blow and hose down/squeege the floor, the garage well at this point, the day prior to paint, so all the water has evaporated when I paint the next day. The more anal you can be about cleaning, you and the car included as well, the more likely hood of a clean job. When it comes time to spray, Wear a shoot suit, and a hat or spray sock and blow your self off prior as well.
I then tape up the car for paint. If something I am being particular fussy about, I will tape so I can open the doors and decklid, ect, and roll the tape back and shoot some reducer on the edge, lessening any tape lines. They also make aperature tape for jamb areas, that won't leave a hard line. Since I don't have a lot of light in my garage, its also nice for me to tape up so I can roll the car outside the garage door for a good look over of the base when I think is all covered and before clear.
After its taped up, I will wipe the car down with clean toweling and a prepaint cleaner or wax and grease remover. Allow good time to make sure the wax and grease remover has had plenty of time to evaporate, specially when you are dealing with plastics or fiberglass. You can get things ready in the meantime, you paint and stuff to mix up, make sure your gun is operating properly, your compressor is good to go, and your hose is untangled and pulled out, and clean.
I then quickly blow off the car again. Then I tack the car, unwrapping the tack rag, and softly let it pile into a ball in my hand. Tack with a light touch and turn the rag over often while tacking.
Then your finally ready to mix and spray your sealer, base, clear, with proper flash in between, or whatever you plan on shooting the car with. Hopefully the paint gods are on your side that day, and everything goes smooth and without a hitch. Tape, paper, and wax and grease remover are all cheap enough, and not a place to skimp, so use good brands, proper stuff.
Wax and grease remover at this point is bad idea
but what do I know?
I don't usually wet sand before shooting base, but always clean with W&G remover between sanding and shooting base. When I do wetsand, it will be cleaned with clean water and then with W&G remover.
I think the wax and grease remover is a toss up, so I understand why Milo posted what he did...
I say this because once you have sanded down the surface and then washed with soap and water as I think most of us do, I dont see a need in using the wax and grease remover unless you have been oily fingering the car..
Wax and grease remover will get into scratches and stay there for a much longer time than on a non sanded surface.. so taking care in making sure it has flashed plenty is where many painters get into trouble..
Is there anything wrong with using it?? Of course not, but is it a must.. again.. Of course not..
One thing I used to do that I have gotten back to doing is this.. Once the car is ready for paint I wipe it all off with just plain water and a clean rag.. Anywhere the water beads or goes around ( meaning something is on the surface sealing it), I will re clean that spot and then continue on.. works like a charm and no chance of adhesion problems etc with not getting all the solvents out from the wax and grease remover..
One last thing.. for plastics, fiberglass, smc etc.. I think you just cant go wrong with Ajax powder cleaner with bleach.. Never once had a fish eye or paint not stick using that stuff.. and while I KNOW IT IS FROWNED UPON BY MOST TO USE A HOUSE HOLD CHEMICAL INSTEAD OF A " body shop product" it has never failed me... Its a trick I learned from a painter who only works on motorcycles ( read plastic city ) etc and the occasional vehicle.. Im my humble opinion its not any different than most of us who use "Dawn" or "Ajax" liquid dish detergent to clean our parts after final sanding before top coat...
Thank YOU so very much for the great replies, exactly the information I needed to complete the paint process....Big Smiles..... Great Site this is !!

ADHD Adults
Strategies on thinking of what to say before I say it...
So often as of late, my mouth seems to either get me in trouble or make people angry with me..
The older I get, the more reactive I'm becoming about almost anything. I don't particularly like that about myself sometimes…
I'm an exec assistant who was asked to order lunch for an internal meeting on the other side of the office..towards the end of the day, one of the other admins said she was told that the conf room wasn't cleaned up. My reaction/response was, "I'm not the cleaning lady." I was a little nasty about it, but that's how I felt right at that moment. I could tell she didn't care for my response because I later saw the office manager with the box of extra sandwiches from the conf room in her hands. She walked passed my desk while I was on the phone. Knowing her, I'm sure she was not pleased.
I do feel bad about seeming like I'm not a team player or looking snobby, but at the same time, I don't feel like I should have to clean up after anyone. I can still feel my blood boil even thinking about it.
I mean.. How should I have responded? I don't know of any other way of saying I don't feel that I should have to clean up after anyone.
I have a feeling the news has spread about my attitude/response in the office and I want to know if there is a better way to handle what might come up again tomorrow when I'm back in the office.
I don't want to say something I'll regret but I do want to stand firm on how I feel. I tend to curse when I can't seem to express what I really want to say.
I'd like to remain calm and be professional but my emotions can sometimes get the best of me..

Getting Around
Getting around Uganda has never been easier – flexibility exists in use of private or public transport, with the improved transport network and extended communication facilities to even the remotest National Parks.
Traveling in Uganda is a true adventure. There are several ways to get around, and the option you choose will depend upon your time constraints and your budget. Travelling by road is the most accessible and cheapest way to travel, and public transport connects all major locations, and ventures far off the beaten track. For those short of time, domestic flights are available to many of the national parks.
Tour Operators and Public Transportation
Buses, taxis, VIP vans and several touring trucks operated by individual tour operators are available to help travelers reach their destinations. Motorcycle taxis, known as boda-bodas, can always be used for short distances. Safety can be a concern so its not recommended to travel by boda-boda without a helmet.
Self Drive
Self-drive options are best left for return visitors to the country and more seasoned travelers who are accustomed to driving in a variety of road conditions. You may find you are more comfortable leaving the driving to a Uganda safari driver guide who will also give you an interpretive commentary while you enjoy the scenic view.

Seeing double? Brazilian club try to outwit opponents by wearing same
Midfielder Britto and Rafael Silva of Uniao Barbarense both wore the number five
Midfielder Britto and Rafael Silva of Uniao Barbarense both wore the number five
Arsenal are to sell striker Eduardo da Silva to Shakhtar Donetsk for £6m after the striker passed a medical with the Ukrainian champions. The striker suffered a shocking double fracture of his left leg at Birmingham City in February 2008 and, although he has physically recovered, the Croatia international failed to play well enough to earn a regular starting place with the Gunners.
Sevilla striker and Milan target Luis Fabiano has dropped a hint that he may be prepared to consider signing for Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp was handed a two-year contract extension as a reward for leading the club to its highest Premier League finish in his first full season in charge.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has admitted his interest in Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano but acknowledges that he could lose out because of the player's salary expectations.
Howard Webb is one of the two favourites to referee the World Cup final on Sunday which would make him the first Englishman to take charge of the biggest game in the world since Jack Taylor in 1974.
Holland 2 Brazil 1: Brazil coach quits as backlash over lack of style is sparked by favourites' shock defeat
Dismiss, for a moment, all thoughts of Wesley Sneijder's pomp, or Arjen Robben tormenting Felipe Melo to the point when rationale gave way to rage and he weighed in with the full force of his studs.
Holland 2 Brazil 1
Brazil coach Dunga plans to speak to Kaka over the coming days in a bid to help the playmaker stop picking up needless yellow cards.
They used to be called the little gods in yellow and they fuelled every fantasy born of Brazilian football. Now, somewhat grudgingly, they are respected as a mean, bruising Yellow Machine but if their coach, Dunga, worships the most practical of football he cannot do much about a lingering gene in the make-up of his team.
Brazil 3 Chile 0
Sevilla's Brazil striker Luis Fabiano has stated his hope of securing a move to either Manchester United or AC Milan this summer.

The Spanish Angle: There is no doubt that Iniesta must come back. He injects something unique and whatever the coach decides, he will be in the team
Sevilla president Jose Maria Del Nido has quashed speculation linking Brazil international striker Luis Fabiano with a summer switch to AC Milan.
FIFA have yet to receive a formal complaint from the Brazilian confederation regarding Kaka's sending-off against Ivory Coast on Sunday night.
