Dr. Zimmerman's TUESDAY TIP:
You can't do the wrong thing and
expect the right result.
Dr. Alan Zimmerman's Personal
In the process of writing my new
book ... "Payoff: Clarify Your Purpose, Prove Your Passion, Master
the Process, Produce the Payoff" ... which will be released later this
year ... I asked thousands of people what they wanted. Almost everyone
gave me one of the following responses: "I just want to be happy" or "I
want to be successful." In other words, they wanted a life and a career that
brought them some significant payoffs.
Nothing wrong with that. The
trouble is ... very few people ever get all the payoffs they want, need, and
crave ... because they fail to apply a few simple but critical behaviors to
their lives and their jobs.
If you want extraordinary,
life-changing, career-enhancing payoffs in your personal and professional
lives, the quickest way to get there is to attend my "Journey to the
Extraordinary" program coming to Chicago on November 14-15, 2013. Click here to register. To
get you started on that path, however, you must do the following.
1. Work like an ant.
There's an old passage that says,
"Go to the ant; consider its ways and be wise." As author Bob Gass
writes, "These tiny giants of industry teach us valuable principles for
living." And I would add, they teach us valuable guidelines that ensure our
The ant is self-motivated.
Nobody has to get it out of bed in the morning or coax it to get moving.
Nobody supervises the ant's work or makes sure he produces a quality
product. Nobody needs to micromanage the ant's time on the job or makes
sure it starts punctually, puts in a full day's work, pulls its weight and
doesn't quit early. The ant is driven by its own high standards, not by
rules, regulations, or the fear of being fired.
The ant is organized. There
is no haphazard drifting or wandering around aimlessly, looking for something
to do. He knows exactly what he has to do. He is goal-directed,
focused, and determined.
The ant keeps on working, in good
times and bad. While everybody else is complaining about the weather, the
economy, the government, or whatever, the ant just keeps preparing for the
As therapist Jeff Herring writes
in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, "Success and excellence are not that
difficult to achieve if you consistently do the necessary things to achieve
them." Just like the ants. The problem is … as Herring continues,
"It's just that most folks are not willing to do the necessary things and are
very willing to blame others."
Basically, you can't keep a good
ant down. If you possess these three ant-like behaviors, more often than
not, you will see some significant payoffs in your life and career.
2. Practice honesty.
One poll cited by Paul Harvey
stated that 40% of American workers admitted stealing on the job, and 20% felt
justified! Their rationalizing included such comments as:
"Everybody's doing it ... The boss can afford it; he won't miss it ...
It's only small stuff; it won't make any difference ... The company owes me.
I'm just taking what's mine ... or ... I deserve it. I've worked
hard and never been acknowledged."
I don't care how you justify it.
If you deceive your employer by stealing time and materials, if you
deliver an inferior product or service to your customers, you're stealing.
You're practicing evil, corrupt, wicked, immoral, illegal, unethical
behavior, or whatever you want to call it ... and perhaps all of the above.
And just for the record, it's not
smart to steal. You can't do the wrong thing and get the right result.
Not only will you have trouble, you'll bring trouble on those who love
and need you the most.
Oh sure, some people seem to get
ahead by being dishonest. Instead of getting caught, they made some extra
money or gained some extra power. But they brought trouble on themselves
… sacrificing their integrity, self-esteem, and peace of mind in the process.
They gave up a lot to gain a little.
Of course, most people will get
caught sooner or later, in some way or other. An acquaintance of mine
just died unexpectedly, and when his final papers were put in order, everyone
learned he had embezzled $4 million from his best friends. He thought he
could "borrow" the money temporarily and re-pay it when the economy turned
around. He didn't expect to die, and his widow, children, and
grandchildren now have to live with the legacy of their husband, father, and
grandfather being a crook.
In all my years of research on
success, I've learned that success never goes on sale. You have to pay
full price. Don't fool yourself into thinking you can get ahead by being
dishonest. The job loss, damaged reputation, humiliation, legal costs and
consequences are a bill the whole family pays ... often times for years and
3. Discard laziness.
When the world looks at you and
the work you do, the world is not only interested in what you do but also how
you do it. And the truth is ... your prospects for the future are largely
influenced by your work ethic. As Hamilton Holt puts it, "Nothing
worthwhile comes easily. Half effort does not produce half results.
It produces no results. Work, continuous work and hard work, is the
only way to accomplish results that last."
If your work ethic is a bit
sloppy, if you tend to be a bit lazy, you are robbing yourself as surely as a
thief who comes to rob you. So be on the lookout for the various ways
laziness can sneak into your life.
Do you procrastinate? Lazy
people say, "I'll do it tomorrow," but tomorrow never comes.
Do you quit too easily? Lazy
people quit before the job is finished. Unfinished projects fill their
lives: half-built cupboards, half-painted rooms, half-cleaned garages,
half-finished papers, half-completed diets, and half-read books.
Do you make excuses? Lazy
people can always find a reason not to work. If it's cold outside, he
might say, "You want me to get sick, going to work in this weather?" Or
if it's warm, "It's way too nice to work!"
Whatever you do, don't let
laziness rob you of success.
Which of the three success behaviors do you need to spend more
time on? Working like an ant? Being honest? Or discarding

PLANS for Swanage RNLI's new £3.5million lifeboat station have been lodged with district officials.
The base is needed to house the charity's £1.5million Shannon Class lifeboat, which is the latest jet-propelled vessel in the RNLI's fleet and is expected to arrive in Swanage in 2016.
The 25-knot all weather Shannon is larger than Swanage's current Mersey Class Robert Charles lifeboat, which is nearing the end of its operational life.
Purbeck District Council's planning department will now consider the proposals for the new lifeboat base, which – if agreed – will replace the existing boathouse in Peveril Point Road, which has been used by the RNLI for 138 years.
RNLI divisional operations manager Richard Weeks said: "The new lifeboat station plans were conceived not only to provide the extra space needed to accommodate the new Shannon lifeboat, but also to upgrade the volunteer crew's facilities to a standard befitting the next generation of lifesavers."
In July, last year, an appeal was launched to help fund the new station, which will also include a mechanic workshop, training room and office space.
Two months ago lifeboat fundraisers celebrated collecting more than half of the £200,000 they need to secure for the new boathouse. A substantial legacy will provide a large contribution towards the cost of the building. Mr Weeks said: "The building will also utilise the latest eco-friendly technology, including a ground source heat recovery system."
Swanage RNLI operations manager Neil Hardy said the crew were "very excited" about the plans.

Ernest V. Joiner:
An Inventory of His Papers, 1911-1997, at the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library
Biographical Sketch
Ernest V. Joiner, born August 20, 1911 in Seymour, Texas, was an outspoken editor for a number of newspapers, such as the Ralls Banner (Texas), the Sebastopol Times (California), and the Lincoln County News (New Mexico). He graduated from Texas Technological College (now Texas Tech University) with a degree in Mass Communications and was a member of the Texas Tech Hall of Fame. Joiner's brand of editorial wit was always controversial, and he reached prominence due to his opinionated columns. The Joiner Papers will serve those interested in the life and times of one of the most outspoken editors of the United States.
Scope and Contents
The papers from Ernest V. Joiner's collection consist of correspondence, editorial news clippings, financial materials, photographs (photocopies), plaques, awards, scrapbooks, and memorabilia. Transferred to the audio/visual department were four oral history tapes of interviews with Joiner.

College admission committees across the US scan through the ACT score reports of all applicants to segregate the candidates who they feel are most eligible for admission. Your score report should stand out amongst the others if you want to secure admission to a college program of your choice.
The only way to earn a credible score report is by scoring high in the ACT test. Good scores and sub scores will increase your chances of being short listed for admission. Good scores cannot guarantee admission to a college program of your choice because there are various other criteria that the admission committee will take into consideration before finalizing your admission. However, low scores in the ACT test will definitely keep you out of the competition for admission to reputed college programs.
Diagnostic Practice Test for ACT
Your preparation for the test should commence with taking an initial practice test, also known as a diagnostic test. You should use the results of this initial test to assess the amount of preparation you require for the final test. The initial practice test need not be timed. You should relax while taking the ACT practice test and take as much time as you want to answer the questions. You should keep in mind that you are taking the initial practice test for testing yourself. As you go through the different sections of the ACT, you will be able to identify the subject areas in which you need extensive review. You will get an idea of your knowledge in a specific subject by analyzing the number of related questions that you have been able to answer correctly. It is preferable to take practice test which will give you the scores at the end of the test along with a brief explanation of why and where you went wrong.
There are sub scores for each subject test of the ACT. You should be aware of the skills represented by each sub score and your study plan should be directed towards improving the skills in the areas where they are needed the most. Try and identify the level of your skills while taking the initial practice test. You should not forget that in addition to the composite score, all your sub scores will also be available to the college admission committees and a single low sub score can create a negative impact on your chances of getting admission.
ACT Practice Tests Available on the Internet
Web sites like www.actstudent.org and www.kaptest.com give you access to online practice tests. The online tests are very convenient as they are available easily and you can even get some of them absolutely free of cost. If you have enrolled for an online course then you get access to a number of online practice tests as a part of the course curriculum. In addition to the scores a number of online tests provide you with explanations for the right answers. The online test available at www.kaptest.com will also provide you with answering strategies and a free analysis of your weaknesses.
Practice Tests for ACT in Books
When you are collecting study materials for your preparation, be sure to pick up guides which have a good number of practice tests. The Real ACT Prep Guide has been prepared by the ACT test makers and it contains three real practice tests. These tests are real in the sense that the questions included in them have been picked up from previous ACT tests. Therefore, you must attempt each test available in this book to familiarize yourself with the type of questions that will be asked in the actual ACT test.
There are other books like Cracking the ACT by Princeton Review, Kaplan ACT 2007 Premier Program by Kaplan, McGraw-Hill's 10 ACT Practice Tests and Barron's ACT, 2007 that contain a number of practice tests. These books are easily available in most bookstores and are also available on www.amazon.com. You should ideally carry out an investigation to check which of these books will be most helpful for you.

Artist needs tips for painting sheet metal
Q. Hi,
I am an artist who has just discovered painting on sheet metal. I painted on sheet metal as an experiment and happen to like what I have done but one problem ... I now know the paint will scratch off.... unfortunately "after the fact". Is there any topcoat finish I can apply now to keep the design from scratching off? Or do I need to scrap this one and start over by treating the surface prior to painting? If so, please recommend what "etching" liquid or application I can find at the local hardware stores.
Thanks,Michelle S [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]
artist - Dallas, Texas
A. You can try a topcoat like a urethane or clear powdercoat; but if the surface wasn't prepared right then this too can come detached from the metal. If the metal was pretty smooth when you painted, then try to roughen it up by sand/bead blasting, hand sanding, or mild acid. I usually sandblast and then clean well before painting.Jason Aube
- Flint, Michigan
I got the reply from Jason in Flint. Thanks, but can you elaborate on the "acid" you mention and also where to get it? And "sandblasting" equipment?
Thanks,Michelle S [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]
artist - Dallas, Texas
A. Hi, Michelle. Next time, scrub with detergent, wash with vinegar, diluted maybe 2 to 1, and apply a primer coat of Self-Etching Primer [linked by editor to product info at Amazon]; this has a mild acid in it that etches the surface for "tooth" and so you are painting onto the metal rather than onto the tarnish on the metal. As Jason says, you can't count on holding paint onto a surface with a 'shrink wrap' effect; it needs adhesion. Good luck.
Ted Mooney, P.E. RET

A. Regarding acid etching metal surface to accept paint - the HGTV website recommends using a 50-50 vinegar and water solution. You might try different strengths of vinegar to get the results you want on steel. Happy creating.Elay S [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]

A. Dear Artist working on metal.
I have been working with galvanized metal for over a year now and if you hand sand and apply your paint it will stay, then top coat with a product from Home Depot called "Top coat", it is epoxy used for counter tops. It is wonderful, will stick and will make your painting POP off the metal. Mix per directions, if you don't you will get tacky and it will never harden.
Would like to know what you are doing, am looking to share art ideas with other artist working on metal surfaces. I am starting to look into other metals as well, copper, cold rolled. etc.
A.R. artist
- Phoenix, Arizona
Q. Hi! I'm an artist wanting to begin painting on metal, as well, so I'm interested not only to read what people have so generously contributed here, but also in corresponding with those of you learning the same stuff. I have a B.A. in art, but never got the time to take any courses in metal working, so I'm scrounging for information on the internet, with very limited success, so far.
I have access to sheets of aluminum. I don't know what gauge it is, offhand (I could ask), but it's nice sturdy stuff without being so heavy that you couldn't conveniently hang it on the wall. My domestic partner gets it at work ("work" is a custom car builder here in Lake County, California), as scraps, and I go down there, after hours, and use their glass-beading machine to give the surface some tooth.
And that's where I stand. I've purchased some aluminum (actually, a multi-metal) primer, since DP tells me that aluminum oxidizes and must be primed before painting; I would also guess, based on years I spent in homebuilding (okay, I was a carpenter, but I paid attention to everything else that went on around me) and maintenance for a hot springs resort, that, in addition to preventing oxidation from damaging the paint I want to apply, it also provides even better "tooth", or roughness for the paint to adhere to.
Now: what paint can I use? I really don't know. I want to work with brushes, for at least some of it, because I want a very painterly effect as well as as much texture as I can get, at least at times. And I'm hoping to work with paint that's as environmentally friendly as possible--and that's least hazardous to my health--without sacrificing durability and archival acceptability. I was hoping acrylics would do what I want, including plenty of metallic and semi-metallic layers of glazing, but I really don't know. I know the paint I apply needs to be as flexible as the sheet metal itself, or it would surely peel off, and this aluminum is ever-so-slightly flexible due to its gauge.
I am thrilled to hear about the Top Coat and its properties, but I could use help with the middle step (well, plus any help on other topics whatsoever--such as, perhaps, making curved sheet metal hang on the wall without visible means of support--although I may explore visible means as well).
Thanks in advance!
- Lucerne, California
Q. I am interested in doing some contemporary paintings on copper sheets. What type of paint do you suggest using? I have read on different websites to rub the copper with garlic first to help the paint adhere to the surface. Do you know if this is effective?Anne M [last name deleted for privacy by Editor]

I'm interested in all the same questions asked above!
- Richmond, California
February 17, 2008
Q. I have just started working with galvanized metal and I sand before painting but have never used a top coat, does the "top coat" make it shiny? I want to keep my weathered -- any suggestions?
- Punta Gorda, Florida
A. I am attempting painting on sheet metal, most likely oils. I'm going to sand, and search for a topcoat, but I guess there will be no priming. I've done work on wood, also, and I didn't prime because I wanted the natural wood grain to show through... I'm just having difficulty with primer, basically. So, fellow metal-painters, good luckBella Callahan
- Sunrise, Florida
July 3, 2008
A. Hi there. I have a project that requires painting on metal as well for a support rather than canvas. My understanding is that if one sands down the metal, you can prime it (the safest bet) or just paint on it from there, and then put a poly or varnish on the painting when you are done if you choose to avoid peeling and scratching issues. Now, what is exciting is that I discovered just recently, that most major art companies, golden, liquitex, etc., make a CLEAR gesso [linked by editor to product info at Amazon] (aka primer) ... so if like me, you want parts of the metal to be exposed in the painting ... this is the perfect solution. Hope that might inspire someone out there, or help.

Q. I am in the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans volunteering with a non profit relief organization. I have a BFA in painting and have maintained a steady studio practice for years. Now I'm focused more on community arts initiatives than my own work. I've been given the opportunity to create a mural on a community bus here in the Lower Ninth. I have never painted on metal and need all the advice I can get. I will try the vinegar solution and follow the suggestions above. If anyone has experience painting murals on automobiles I would be most appreciative for any advice. Thank you.Dave Whelan

Of course, this assumes I understood what you were talking about, which isn't always a good bet :-)

A. Just thought I'd add a little information that, through lots of trial and error, might help those wanting to paint on metal. I am an oil painter and -- believe it or not -- oil paints will adhere to metal with no priming or gessoing. For acrylics you'll need a clear gesso like GAC 200. It took me ages to find out that oils can be applied directly (I've tried it on aluminum, copper, zinc, and brass) you just need to prep it properly. Of course after all of my experimenting, I found that a small family run business is starting to make metal painting panels. I saw them at a trade show, they gave me a free sample, and now it's my new favorite way to paint. I hope they (something like Duho Studios) keep with it.Brian Ford
- Los Angeles, California, USA
July 19, 2009
Q. I wanted more info from Brian Ford since he has some trial and error. Anyone else with experience will do though. I am a welder and oil painter and want to merge the mediums. I was happy to hear that I don't need a special base on the metal and wonder if I need to take a sander or grinder to the metal first. Another question is if the metal was once rusted and want to leave some of the rust exposed will that eventually cause problems on the painting?Jon Little
- Black Mountain North Carolina
A. Hey Jon. Lucky for me, the copper and aluminum panels I bought from Duho Studios came pre-sanded so my oil paints didn't have a problem adhering. I've only tried painting on nonferrous metals and am not sure metals like steel will act the same way. But yes, I recommend a pretty hefty grit sandpaper or steel wool [linked by editor to product info at Rockler] to rough up the surface and then thoroughly degreasing and cleaning the surface. Unfortunately I haven't dealt with rust, I've only applied patinas to the metal, which can give a pretty cool rusty look. Also, the only clear gesso that I've found out there that will adhere to metal is Golden's GAC 200. It will cloud the metal a little, which is why I don't use it much, but it's useful if anybody is unsure or doubtful that the paint will go directly on the metal. I hope to hear how your art goes, it seems not too many people are doing this sort of thing and I'm still in the learning phase myself. All info helps, good luck!Brian Ford
- Los Angeles, California, USA
July 26, 2009
Thanks Brian, As usual with most art mediums they are forgiving. We will see over time, but as of now the oil paint comes out very striking on the metal. I think that gesso would have removed some of metal texture effects I want. I welded two pieces of sheet metal with one quite rusty and intentionally have a nice raised weld bead where they meet and then took a grinder and just had at it. I have found that you can do a good sketch of your painting with the grinder and I also added some weld beads to outline certain areas of the sketch with a nice raised effect. Another benefit is how the paint is affected by either rust or by the ground metal patterns. This frees me up to continue and plan on welding frames for these metal canvases and see where this leads me. If I am wrong I will still have my metal canvas and can clean it off and start again. I am happy to uploads photos of my progress, yet I don't see that option here. Is anyone familiar with websites that allow exchange of emails or photos of work?Jon Little

Q. I have a project to paint on Steel metal patio chairs which have a baked on powder finish. My client wants to retain their current color as background, so I am concerned about "roughing it up" After a conversation at Sherwin Williams I found a site on line for Universal Tints (Mixol) which could perhaps give me the palette range I need when mixed with a base.

Q. Glad to have found this thread. I am working with aluminum flashing coil and need the underlayer to be white.
I can buy the flashing already primed white, and ideally would then just paint on it with acrylic or, as a second choice, a metal paint such as DeRusto from the hardware store. My question about the acrylic is, will it peel? My question about the DeRusto is, Will the color fade? Maybe the best solution would be to buy the coil unprimed, prime it myself with _______________(?), and paint with acrylic. Any thoughts? Thanks again.Gordon Fearey
Artist - Irvington, New York
A. Hi there, I own a company and we build metal art surfaces for artists. Aluminum is the most popular. We prep the surface with an orbital sander, 80 grit and some gold scotch brite to even the finish out. I've never had complaints concerning long term adhesion. Surface prep and cleanliness is the key with aluminum. We also do hot roll, cold roll, galvanized, and bonderized as well but always remind the artist that this is not an archival surface and will deteriorate to varying degrees depending on what conditions they may be exposed to. Ferrous metals should be sealed, the best clear coat I've found available in gloss and matte finishes is "permalac". It's expensive but this stuff is tough and made to handle weather conditions for extended periods. Also great for sealing copper and brass or bronze once the desired patina or tarnish is reached. Copper and Brass are great for mixed media folks who want to work with chemical patinas. Any metal surface that will have paint or chemical applied to it should always be given some "Bite" the chemical will react more uniformly and quickly and the paint, of course, will stay where you want it. Good luck everybody, with everything you do. BrianBrian Fredella

Hi Everyone,
I have been welding now for 15 weeks and I love it. I love the plasma cutter and have created some nice work in sheet metal. I now would like to paint my work and not having the expertise in painting on metal I thought I would look up on the internet, this is how I found you guys.
I am combining my clay work with my metal work however I would like some help on how to get effects on the metal so that it will enhance my Clay sculpture.
I live in Australia miles away from all of you, though I still would like some advice on Pitans and special effects on metal.
Hope you can help.

Q. I have been tasked to paint on a large metal milk can. I don't know what type of metal it is (it has a little rust), although my husband thinks it might be tin. I understand the cleaning process. What I don't know is do I paint with oils, acrylics, or enamel? Do I finish with Poly, varnish, or wax?
What is the going price for these painted milk cans?
Thank you so much for your help and advice.
ArtByMSaij.com - Coos Bay, Oregon, USA
August 12, 2011
A. Hi, Moriah. Only steel and iron can rust, so the cans must be steel. To discourage rust they were probably plated with tin because that is a food-safe metal. Some sellers list them as "galvanized", but I doubt that they were because galvanizing is not considered food-safe. Ebay has lots of milk cans listed =>
You should be able to judge their worth from that. Sorry, I'm not an artist and can't help with the other questions.

A. I recently have been painting on metals (stainless, copperclad, aluminum sheets) with oil paints. My discoveries:
Prep sheets by hand sanding, then clean with alcohol.
Use a medium with the oils--Liquin works well
No need to finish
...but I like the idea of a gloss for some pieces, so I may try Top Coat.
Nice to hear from like minds!

Hi, Judy.
I can't tell you about that particular Home Depot product, but the products that are used for the thick clear coating on bar tops and bottlecap tables and similar things (as described in letter 17560 and related letters here) include "Kleer Koat", Famowood, or Envirotex Lite.

Hi, Judy. I'm not a painter, and unqualified to disagree. The recommendation for that elusive "Top Coat" claimed that it was an epoxy intended for countertops, which I assumed meant a thick coating, but I guess not this thick :-)
Allison's mention of the need for good mixing or it won't harden, tells me she was talking about a 2-component mixture though, maybe like automotive clearcoat. I use polyurethane spar varnish (oil based) on the countertop of my own outdoor bar, and 3 or 4 coats is still quite thin. Maybe that's what you want? Water based is also available. Good luck on the search.

Q. Just read most of this thread and I have a question about painting on chrome film from the Alsa Co. Has anyone worked with this product? Can you paint on it and it will stay? I don't want to sand or etch it (if it can be etched). What prep would you undertake and what type of paint to use. For those not familiar, it comes in a roll with a thin layer of chrome attached to an adhesive backing. It is very flexible so it would need to be attached to a piece of plywood or something similar so it would not bend. Thanks.will gibson

Q. I am going to attempt painting a mural on the side of a metal sided building and would like to know what type of paint, and brand would be best for this endeavor?Dora Hale
- Mineral, Washington USA
A. Hi Dora. I'm not an artist, but I am somewhat familiar with painting metals. Many metal buildings are galvanized (steel sheet metal dipped in molten zinc) and paint doesn't stick well. If the building has reliable paint on it, don't remove it. If it is unpainted or has peeling paint with bright metal underneath, it is galvanized. If so, scrub it with detergent or trisodium phosphate [linked by editor to product info at Amazon], wash it with 50:50 vinegar, then paint it with a Galvanized Metal Primer [linked by editor to product info at Amazon]. Then you can do your decorative paint on top.
Never use alkyd paints on galvanized as the two materials saponify (form a soap) and the paint won't stick at all. Good luck.

Q. I've read this entire thread and found most of it very informative. Here is my issue. First I live in Mexico and many products are impossible to find here. Most of my work is with wood (I make crosses primarily), but I love all types of metal and I've liked to include some in my art.
I have on hand a good size roll of metal flashing and while I was able to get some information from this forum it never quite answered everything for me so ... Can I sand and prime the flashing and then paint on it with acrylic paints and then seal with poly?
I don't really use oils but I can get some if need be. I can't get something called "top coat" and the types of primer you can buy here are limited. Of course no clear gesso here but I do have regular white gesso.
Man, I love the internet!!

A. Hi. I have been painting saw blades for 5 years now and I have found the best results as follows:
I angle grind the piece or use a very coarse sandpaper.
I then prime it. I have found, especially if it is very rusty, nothing will stop it -- even the plasma cut items I paint
I then paint with acrylics, but use as little water as possible.
I then seal it with a 2-pack epoxy resin. This is awesome -- makes the piece enhance to magnificent appearance.
I prefer the 1:1 resin as it gives a better affect and there isn't anywhere the same wastage. I then touch to remove bubbles with a blow touch. If you use this and follow there directions, please dont use a straw as suggested.
I have had many failures where the rust eventually comes to the surface, which is sad when you put so much effort into it.
Hope this has been of some help to you. I'm still learning so, if some one has found any shortcuts that will definitely guarantee no rust seepage, please let me know.

I am a metal smith and do jewelry and small sculptures. I work a lot in copper, mostly soldering and stone settin., but on occasion do a piece in copper with acrylic painting on it. Copper is great and takes paint well if you sand first, then a metal primer, then the paint, and I use polyurethane as a top coat. Bear in mind, these pieces of jewelry or small bowls or sculpture do not go outside. For outside sculptures in copper , I texture with hammers and do some fold forming (manipulation of metal) then either put a patina on it (liver of sulphur) or a light wash of lemon juice and salt sprinkle, then let it sit naturally outdoors to get that weathered look. I will occasionally rivet small pieces of another type of metal on it, like brass, or torch fired enamel . Hope this helps, nice to converse with other artisans here!

Q. Am currently developing a public art mural for an underpass which will be painting on metal. Have some samples so will try some processes; the above tips were helpful. I am aiming at oil painting on galvanised steel with a UV varnish sealant (to help re. non-vandalism and seal the painting). Noted the tip on sanding and priming; anyone have any other tips might work?Tony Stallard

A. The only other thing I can think of that *might* be helpful would be using a textured spray-paint or primer to give your oil paint something to 'grab' on to. Try the standard chalkboard paint as something that might work to help your oils adhere.Marc Banks

I am an art student but am Doing a laser etching project for the first time. The course is about Adobe Illustrator, not metal arts, so we don't learn about specific materials. I designed something to be laser etched onto aluminum. Bought aluminum flashing at a hardware store. Was told by an artist employee at the laser cutting lab that I could paint acrylic paint into the metal and that when laser etched at various depths, the paint colors or the aluminum surface would show. However, no one told me that paint doesn't dry on aluminum. It has been a while now and the acrylic paint I brushed onto the metal is still wet despite bring a thin coat. Do I need to wipe it all off and try the vinegar/water wash mentioned in the above thread? I don't have tools for sanding or any chemicals. Thanks for helping me!!!Rebecca Evans

Q. I want to paint a scene on a circular saw blade using oils. I have already given it a coat of black paint, but now that I see all this advice, I'm not sure that was wise. I will have to put some "tooth" on this metal, but not sure how to proceed. Thanks, Tina.T. Vandenburg

December 2015
A. Hi Tina. I was once involved in the automation of a plating line for applying a flash of chrome plating to circular saw blades (presumably to reduce friction and sticking). It is notoriously difficult to get paint to stick to chrome, so if your blade has that flash chrome, it really ought to be removed via a 30-second dip in muriatic acid. It would be best to have a friend who is familiar with this help you since you need goggles and rubber gloves as a minimum when working with muriatic acid, and neutralizing it isn't quite as easy as it sounds (you can do it with baking soda, but it takes a lot of baking soda, and doing it a quarter teaspoon at a time to avoid extreme foaming-over can test the patience of a saint :-)
After the acid dip and rinsing, scrub it with detergent, and then apply a primer made for bare metal. Then you can paint it any way you wish and the paint should have very good adhesion. If it's convenient for you, simply sandblasting the saw blade will remove the paint and the chrome (without the need for acid), and also give you some tooth before the primer. Good luck.

I've been painting on metal for years now without really thinking about it being an artist support, the reason being I spray cars and motorcycles for a living. The auto industry has most all your questions answered in a ready to use product, from crystal clear self etching primers to dyed candies that let ground effects show through. All come in oil based (cellulose) water based acrylics and 2 part epoxy paints. Just a thought to you all, look outside the box and sometimes you find things you weren't even looking for lol. Myself I'm trying to find out how effective gesso would be if used as an automotive primer for airbrushed sections of a bike build. Seems not, unfortunately, but after reading most all of this thread I just thought I could help out a little. :)Michael smith

A. After sanding to give a key, prime with calcium chromate primer, works on ferrous and non ferrous metals including galvanized!
To remove rust, treat with phosphoric acid -- turns the surface to iron oxide, which will not rust!

Thanks John, but I'll bet calcium chromate will soon not be available anywhere, if it even is today.

A. Prime your surface with a phosphate wash primer - phosphoric acid with a bit of zinc oxide, or carbonate. This gives the surface some "tooth" which makes the paint stick.

James Blunt plans to make a new step on his musical career as he reportedly will make a collaboration with Frech rapper Sinik.
English singer James Blunt is set to expand his musicalities by entering the hip-hop realms. The British singer reportedly will do a collaboration with a French rapper, Sinik.
Previously, James and Sinik have collaborated on the pop singer's song "I'll Take Everything". They made a French version of the song called "Je Realise" which included the rapper's rhyme on it . Reports said that the reworked single has become a hit in France.
Because of the success, James explicitly revealed that he plans to make a duet album with Sinik. "Sinik's take on I'll Take Everything, which is called Je Realise, has been a big hit in France. I think this might be my direction for a third album," said James.
The single itself was taken from the "You're Beautiful" singer's second studio album titled "All the Lost Souls" which was released on September 17, 2007. Meanwhile, the French version also appeared on Sinik's album "Le Toit du Monde" also released in 2007.

France, supported by Russia, has opposed the US draft because it includes a legal basis for a military attack if Iraq fails to disarm as a result of UN weapons inspections. France has favoured a two-stage approach, which would leave the authorisation of force to a second resolution, a position Russia and China also favoured.
The US action came after France and Russia, and less forcefully China, criticised the US proposal yet again in closed negotiations in New York on Tuesday.
US officials said they were carrying through with the strategy that Mr Bush outlined on September 12, when he first challenged the UN to confront Iraq, saying that if the UN would not act to disarm Saddam Washington was prepared to do it alone.
US diplomats argued that the negotiations among the five veto-bearing countries were among the highest-level and most arduous ever seen in preparation for a UN resolution, and demonstrated US willingness to engage multilaterally. US and British diplomats insisted they had made significant concessions to the complaints from France and Russia in the revised draft presented on Monday. Britain will co-sponsor the US resolution.
Meanwhile, Yugoslavia has sacked a senior military official and the director of the state trading company Yugoimport as a result of NATO's accusations that a Bosnian Serb company exported military hardware to Iraq via Belgrade.
Officials in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia and the US have released few firm details about the case, which appears to focus on the violation of the UN arms embargo rather than the military significance of any sales.
After searching the offices of Orao, a state-owned company, NATO peacekeeping troops said on Tuesday that they had found proof of continuing exports to Baghdad.

Mt. Diablo, west of Walnut Creek, is the closest of the three big mountains in the Bay Area. Mt. Tamalpais in Marin is 2,571 ft, Mt. Diablo is 3,849 ft, and Mt. Hamilton near San Jose is 5000 ft. It has been claimed that on the clearest of days the landmass viewable from the summit is second only to Mt. Kilimanjaro which peaks at over 19,000 ft. Our former webmaster has personally seen Half Dome in Yosemite, Mt. Lassen and the Faralon Islands (35 miles past the Golden Gate) from the summit of the mountian. Whatever the view from the top, climbing Mt. Diablo is a challange. There are two roads into the state park which meet at about 2000 ft above sea level (Ranger Station); one road from there leads to the Summit. There is water at the Ranger Station and at the Summit. The climbs are Tunnel, Mt. Diablo and Wildcat. The descents are North Pinehurst and Mt. Diablo. Mt. Diablo probably has the most patrolling police of any of the routes, and they will ticket speeding cyclists. Besides, the beautiful scenery coming down is too blurry at full speed!
The Mount Diablo - North Gate is situated in California. This climb belongs to the San Francisco Bay Area.
Starting from Walnut Creek,
the Mount Diablo - North Gate ascent is 18.8 km long. Over this distance, you climb 1099 heightmeters.

Medical Definition of Inguinal canal
Inguinal canal: A passage in the lower anterior abdominal wall that in the male allows passage of the spermatic cord and in the female contains the round ligament. Because of the weakness the inguinal canal creates in the abdominal wall, it is the most frequent site for a hernia.

Two victims of an acid attack in Zanzibar were being treated in a specialist burns unit in London on Saturday as police were ordered to arrest a radical Islamic preacher suspected of inspiring the assault.
Kirstie Trup and Katie Gee, both 18, were taken to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital by ambulance as soon as their medical evacuation flight landed.
Ms Gee's mother, Nicky, said the families had been through a ''terrible ordeal'', and a friend said the girls were ''as well as can be expected''.
Ms Gee sent a tweet to friends from her hospital bed saying: ''Thank you for all your support x.''
Suspicion grew that a hardline Islamic group called Uamsho might have inspired the attack. The group, which wants Zanzibar to become independent from Tanzania and impose strict Muslim rules, is thought to be behind leaflets distributed recently telling Muslims to prepare for ''a call'' to action.
Uamsho is suspected of being behind an acid attack in November on a moderate imam and the shooting dead of a Catholic priest in February.
Father Cosmas Shayo, parish priest of St Joseph's Catholic Cathedral, whose predecessor, Father Evarist Mushi, was murdered, said: ''These people are dedicated only on bringing chaos to further their aims.''
One of Uamsho's key supporters is Muslim cleric Sheikh Ponda Issa Ponda, who has been urging Muslims to rise up ''like in Egypt''.
Tanzania's director of public prosecutions, Elieza Feleshi, said: ''Such behaviour is intolerable. We hope the police will exercise their powers wisely and arrest Ponda.''
As the two friends arrived back in London, Mrs Gee said: ''I am worried sick. I am just glad she is home. We spoke this morning and she said she was OK. I can't say any more.''
Ms Gee's family released a picture of her injuries, showing burns to her chest, neck and lower face.
The teenagers, who were on a month-long break volunteering for a charity when two men on a moped threw acid over them, suffered injuries to their faces, hands, legs, backs, necks and chests.
Moments after they were attacked in Stone Town, Zanzibar, they ran into the Babu Cafe on the waterfront, said Noonan Babu, the restaurant owner.
''[Ms Gee] came in crying and shouting, 'my face, my face, my face', and she ran straight to the toilet to splash herself with water,'' Mr Noonan said.
''My staff and other people helped her by giving her big bottles of water from the fridge to cover herself with and wash off the liquid. It was all over her. [Ms Trup] ran straight to the sea to try to wash it off.''
Ms Trup's father, Marc, said the teenagers were well aware of the need to dress modestly and had been told not to wear any symbols of their Jewish faith.
Zanzibar police chief Mussa Ali Mussa said seven people had been questioned about the attack but no one had been arrested.
Tourism Minister Said Ali Mbarouk said anyone providing information leading to the arrest of the assailants would be given 10 million Tanzanian shillings ($5000).
''We have to work harder to make sure that Zanzibar is safe for visitors and citizens,'' he said.

Shadar-kai, also known as shadow fey, were a race of shadow-like humanoids connected to the Plane of Shadow.[2]
Shadar-kai were humanoid and usually slightly taller than average humans. They had gray skin and dark eyes. Shadows on their bodies or clothing always seemed to be deeper and darker than shadows elsewhere. Many shadar-kai carried body piercings and tattoos.[2]
Shadar-kai were subject to the "Shadow Curse": When shadar-kai were stunned or knocked unconscious, part of their soul was sent back to the Plane of Shadow. A shadar-kai missing parts of his or her soul was weakened. The curse made shadar-kai bitter and prevented many from staying on the Prime Material Plane. The Shadow Curse could be prevented by a gal-ralan, an iron armband with needles that kept the the shadar-kai's soul and body connected but also caused constant pain.[2]
Shadar-kai on the Prime Material Plane often carried blackstone runes, which allowed the bearer to plane shift to and from the Plane of Shadow and the Prime Material Plane.[2]
Because of their belief systems, shadar-kai generally had no fear of death. Most shadar-kai believed that their death was foretold and impossible to change. Shadar-kai were often seen as cold and pitiless to outsiders.[1] They generally detested other fey.[2]
Shadar-kai lived in settlements in the Shadowfell, where their society was meritocratic and based on power and prestige of deeds.[1]
Shadar-kai preferred to use their speed and agility in combat. Therefore, they typically wielded light weapons and were particularly known for fighting with spiked chains. Spellcasters typically favored shadow magic and illusion spells. Shadar-kai were skilled at sneak attacks and were often able to hide in plain sight.[2]
Shadar-kai used their ability to shadow jaunt in order to teleport a short distance away. When they did this, they reappeared in a (temporarily) wraithlike state.[1]
According to one origin theory, the shadar-kai were always adept in shadow magic. Long ago, they made a pact with powers in the Plane of Shadow in order to become the supreme race. They failed, however, but became inextricably connected to the Plane of Shadow.[2]
According to another theory, shadar-kai were in fact the result of the Spellplague, which transformed some Netherese or the children they gave birth to into shadelike creatures. These creatures were called shadar-kai and were considered a miracle from Shar. Prince Rivalen Tanthul even devised a ritual to change a human into a shadar-kai. [4]
The largest settlement of shadar-kai in Faerûn lived in Ikemmu in the Underdark.[5] Shadar-kai made up nearly half of the slaves in Chaulssin[6] and were also found in Gloomwrought.[7]

Jerusalem (AFP) Nov 15, 2012
Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak on Thursday approved the call-up of 30,000 reserve soldiers, who can be called into action by the military at any point, the army's official spokesman said.
The announcement came as Israel pressed a massive air campaign against Gaza militants which threatened to expand into a ground operation after a rocket struck the sea just off the coast of Tel Aviv and a second landed just south of the sprawling coastal city.
"We are in the process of expanding the campaign," Brigadier General Yoav Mordechai told Channel 2 television as the army said militants had fired more than 380 rockets across the border.
"The defence minister approved a few minutes ago, based on the army's request, the recruitment of another 30,000 soldiers. We will determine how many of them will be called in," he said.
"This means that all options are on the table," he said.
His remarks came as the military said 274 rockets had hit the Jewish state in the 28 hours since an Israeli strike killed a top Hamas commander, and that another 112 had been intercepted in mid-flight by the Iron Dome anti-missile system.
"I can assume that tonight will be very not quiet in the Gaza Strip," Mordechai said.
Barak said the rocket fire on the central Gush Dan region was "an escalation" which would cost Gaza's militant groups dearly.
"The firing towards Gush Dan and the extent of the general (rocket) fire toward Israel is an escalation, and this escalation will have a price that the other side will have to pay," he said in a statement.
Senior cabinet minister Moshe Yaalon also warned that Israel was considering a ground operation in order to stamp out rocket fire.
"We are preparing all the military options, including the possibility that forces will be ready to enter Gaza in the event that the firing doesn't stop," he wrote in a series of postings on his official Twitter account.
"Whoever continues attacking us, his blood will be on his own head. From our perspective the operation won't stop and the army has prepared all the options in order to hit them," he said.
"The only way to convince the other side to stop the aggression is to make them pay a heavy price which will convince them to halt their fire."

Friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. Good information folder in room. Relaxing atmosphere. Excellent food No tv in room
Very remote, yet in breathtaking location, with beautiful grounds and pool. Fantastic restaurant and breakfast. An unforgettable place. Some problems with portable ac units, sometimes rooms were not at a comfortable temperature
Peace beds need new mattresses
The friendly and extremely helpful staff did everything they could to make our stay memorable, including upgrading us to a superior room. Beautiful, calm surroundings and the super menu choices.
Een echte aanrader! We zijn er onze vakantie gestart (upgrade van de kamer als "honeymooners") en we zijn op het einde van de vakantie teruggekomen (en kregen als bedanking een fles chamagne).
Generally quiet and peaceful but less rural than anticipated Veery noisey children of other guests in the public rooms, particuilarly the dining room at supper on Sat 22 Mar.
Just chilled out drank and ate! No it suited what we wanted at the time
Sight seeing and walking. No
Friendleness of the staff. Excellent dinner and breakfast (which is rare in hotels}. We are planning to return in october.
Well appointed with interesting architectural features. Breakfast wa excellent. Good selection and well presented. However the evening meal was of mediochre cooking and expensive.
The guys who own the hotel were really friendly. The food was also great. A nice, quiet getaway. Would certainly recommend.
Good all round hospitality. The road to it!
It was a very comfortable hotel with excellent food and a lovely, quiet mountain location with fantastic views. The owner was friendly and flexible and nothing was too much trouble. A very relaxing place to stay, with good walks starting from right outside the hotel. No.
We liked everything.This hotel is an absolute gem .David and Ivan run a rustic, rural haven that manages to incorporate a certain cosmopolitan panache rarely found in Andalucia; they have their own Art Gallery... David will source the most appropriate guide for your requirements..and almost anything else you may need....even before you know that you need it !!...Ivan will cook food for you that you will remember for the rest of your life..don't leave without tasting his glorious deserts.Take a look at their website for a full view of all the imaginative extras that are available.Unlike most other hotels I stayed at during this trip, David and Ivan provide Tea/ Coffee making facility in your room..Fabulous food, views, conversation,+ b and l This is not really a negative..but...the road that leads to Bandolero is not for the faint hearted and only the passengers can admire the stunning views from that road...unless you pull over..if you can. The trick for the driver is to look well ahead around the winding mountain road and if you spot anything coming your way look.. For a stopping point...even if you have to wait 5 mins it is worth it.There are large numbers of Ravens to be seen soaring and croaking above this road ..so well worth the endeavor.
Peace and quiet
David and Ivan were very friendly and hepful. It is in a quiet location in the hills south of Ronda. The restaurant food was excellent and well priced. The pool was very welcoming at the end of the day. There was no air-conditioning and it was very hot during our stay. A fan was provided but it still made sleeping difficult.
We enjoyed the quiet and the rustic nature of the hotel. It was friendly and home-like.
The owners are lovely. very friendly and helpful.

|Equality Now celebrates the first Day of the Girl in 2012 with members of The Arts Effect NYC.
I was not put on this earth to be invisible. I was not born to be denied. I was not given life only to belong to someone else. I belong to me.
– From The Girl Declaration, courtesy of The Girl Effect
The theme of the 2nd annual International Day of the Girl Child, 'Innovating for Girls' Education,' is timely given that Malala Yousafzai, who was fighting for her life right before the first day of the girl child, has become a force to be reckoned with in the movement to achieve universal education for girls. She has galvanized millions of people around the world to take up the cause and ensure that girls' voices are heard and their rights protected.
|Malala Yousafzai & Yasmeen Hassan
We join in the mission of Malala and all girls around the world who are demanding their rights, while noting that education must not promote, but rather teach children to question the gender stereotypes and harmful traditional practices that have been handed down over generations becoming embedded in cultures. It must be provided in a context that is supportive of gender equality and girls' ability to have aspirations, careers and political ambitions on par with boys. Without such environments, education may not lead to empowerment. For example, in many countries of the Middle East and North Africa region, girls' educational achievements, particularly at higher levels, have outstripped boys, yet such achievements are not resulting in employment opportunities or participation and leadership in the work force or in the political sphere.
At Equality Now we are continually inspired by brave girls who, despite great personal risk, are standing up for their rights in order to improve situations for themselves and other girls like them. These girls deserve to be supported as they are the leading agents of change! These include girls from the Pokot district in Kenya who are fleeing their homes to escape female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage; teenaged survivors of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation from the U.S. who lobbied the New York State Assembly for improvements to the trafficking law; a 12-year-old child bride from Saudi Arabia who refused to accept her fate and successfully petitioned for a divorce; and a 13-year-old from Zambia whose successful civil case against the government is leading to the development of guidelines in schools to protect other schoolgirls from rape by teachers. Girls themselves are innovating ways to ensure that their voices are heard. We must support their activism and fix the broken legal and social systems that are stopping them from reaching their full potential.
11 October was proclaimed as a day to recognize the unique challenges that girls face daily. It is important that the momentum demonstrated on this day of advocacy and action carries through to every day. Equality Now is committed to standing up for the rights of all girls – to keep them safe at home, at school and in their communities – and we hope you will be too. Start today by signing our Action to protect Kenyan girls from FGM and child marriage!

Mission: Divide & Conquer v1.0.0b
Here's a new 40K tournament mission I've worked up. As always looking for feedback.
Divide & Conquer
Primary (15pts) – Divide & Conquer (see below).
Secondary (10pts) – Kill points.
Tertiary (5pts) – Hold more objectives with scoring units. Objective placement is noted below in Divide & Conquer.
Quaternary (+1pt) – For each of your elite, fast attack or heavy support units that are in a zone that you've claimed.
Divide & Conquer
The table will be divided into 5 zones by placing objectives. From the center of the table measure 18″ to the left and right (along the length of the table), and place objectives there. Then measure and place an objective along each long edge half-way, at the 36″ mark. This will create a diamond shape.
You are trying to capture the zones. Each table quarter, minus the center area created by the objectives, is a zone. The center area, as defined by the inside area of the objectives, is the fifth zone. To claim a zone you must have more victory points within a given zone than the enemy. Units in more than one zone will contribute towards the zone the majority of the unit is in. If the unit is evenly split between two zones then you must declare which zone they are contributing towards as they can't claim more than one zone.
* All objectives are completely impassable. They cannot be moved upon by anything whatsoever, no exceptions.
* If a mission is tied or neither player achieve it, with the exception of the quaternary, then both players split the points for that mission rounding up.
Spearhead but use the area defined by the objectives as the dead zone instead of the usual 12″ from center method.
Game Length
Standard game length or time, whichever comes first.
Special Rules
Infiltrate, scout, deep strike, reserves, outflank, seize the initiative
* NOTE: If you table your opponent then you may use the remaining turns, if there are any left, to achieve the missions.

Comments about Markbass Amp Bag Small:
I bought this to go along with a Mark Bass Little Mark 250 black line amp. It was advertised here and on the Mark Bass site as the applicable case for this amp. However, it was a poor (tight) fit and I was afraid it would damage the knobs. It was sent back and exchanged for an SKB bag.
Comments about Markbass Amp Bag Small:
This bag is great. Ingenious design. Gives you just what you need: a small bag to carry and protect your LM head, plus carry up to two speaker cables and one power cable (plus a little extra room for a small tuner) in the front pouch. Everything you need for your gig in one place (except the cabs and bass, of course). Goes everywhere with me. Until I graduate to using a rack, this is a very smartly designed carry bag by Markbass and a must-own item if you have a LM head.

Bonnie oversees the financial, legal and reporting aspects of the firm and funds.
From 1999 through 2009 she worked for Insight Venture Partners where she served as Finance Principal, initially on a full time basis and ultimately on a part time basis. She continues to work at the firm as a consultant in a part time capacity.
Previously, Bonnie was CFO of Genesis Park LP, a private equity firm in Houston, and also spent nearly 3 years as CFO of Capital Royalty LP, providing finance and SEC compliance services to this private equity, regulated investment advisor. In addition to her venture capital/private equity experience, Bonnie has over 20 years experience in accounting and taxation for several large CPA and commodities trading firms.
Get to Know Bonnie
Bonnie's daughter is a high-level competitive gymnast, but Bonnie is more talented with a balance sheet than a balance beam.
She'd love to dine with Gil Hodges. Bonnie grew up in a major baseball-loving family. Her parents and grandparents were huge fans of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and her grandparents even owned a restaurant across from Ebbets Field where they served the Dodger players after games. When they moved to LA and the Mets were formed, her family just moved their allegiance to the Mets.
For those who don't know, Gil Hodges was one of the most beloved members of the Brooklyn Dodgers and arguably one of the best first basemen of his era. While he moved to LA with the Dodgers, he returned to New York with the expansion draft of the Mets and played in their first season. He then went on to be their manager in 1968 and brought them from the basement to the top with the 1969 "Miracle Mets."
What Does OpenView Mean to You?
OpenView's mission is to improve people's working lives. To me that means doing what I can to make people organized and informed, and doing the best I can to make it all seamless. I work with my team to set goals to make sure that employees have structure and process and that the LP's have timely, correct, informative communications.

Copy Costs
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13, allows, but does not require, government entities to charge for copies of government data. If an entity's policy is to charge for copies, the allowable amount depends on whether the requester is a member of the public or a data subject.
Statutory requirements relating to copy charges are in Minnesota Statutes, sections 13.03 (members of the public), sections 13.04 (data subjects), and Minnesota Rules 1205.0300, subpart 4. A government entity cannot charge to separate public from not public data. In situations where specific charges are set by statute or rule, government entities should follow the applicable statutory language, rather than Chapter 13's requirements.
Members of the public
- 25 cents per page – 100 or fewer paper copies
If the request is for 100 or fewer pages of black and white, letter or legal sized paper copies, the maximum allowable charge is 25 cents for each page copied, or 50¢ for a two-sided copy. This charge is a flat rate; entites cannot add on any additional charges, such as cost of mailing or paper.
- Actual cost - most other copies
For copies of other data (more than 100 paper copies, photographs, data on a CD or DVD, data stored electronically, etc.) a government entity may charge the actual cost for an employee to search for and retrieve the data, and to make paper copies or to print copies of electronically stored data.

It's not easy trying to predict 20 years into the future. But here at Boeing, we have an excellent track record forecasting what's ahead for the aviation market. For the past five decades, we've produced our Current Market Outlook (CMO) to help us stay on top of industry trends and plan our business strategy. This year's CMO — which I unveiled in Paris today — will also be used by hundreds of thousands of analysts, suppliers, customers, media and aviation fans. It's a story of big numbers and staggering growth. Here's a look at the highlights.
The big picture
Let's cut right to the chase and lay out the big picture. Over the next 20 years, Boeing sees a demand for 33,500 new airplanes valued at $4 trillion. The main drivers of these stats are economic growth around the world, especially in emerging markets, and the traveling public's desire for new, nonstop routes.
Breakdown by airplane type
Fleet composition will change significantly by 2030 with single-aisle jets making up 70 percent of the total. But we'll also see continued growth for new twin-aisle airplanes like the 787 Dreamliner as well as the 777. Even though the large airplane market makes up a smaller percentage of demand, it will be a $270 billion market. That's why we're bringing the 747-8 Intercontinental to the marketplace. 970 new freighters will also be needed, with most of those being big freighters like the 747-8 F and 777 Freighters.
I had the chance to present the CMO to reporters in Paris today.
Regional demand
Asia Pacific is forecasted to need the most new airplanes over the next 20 years and will represent the largest market by value of deliveries at more than $1.5 trillion. That region will account for more than a third of new deliveries worldwide, while the Middle East and Latin America will also continue to show very strong growth. European and North American carriers will continue to see demand for replacement airplanes as they retire older, less fuel-efficient models.
The bottom line
The 2011 CMO is really a success story. It shows that the airlines managed to come out of recession, past recovery, and into a period of expansion. We here at Boeing are ready to meet the demand, as evidenced in this week's announcement that we'll increase production of our wildly popular Next-Generation 737 to 42 per month in the first half of 2014. The future looks bright and we look forward to the ride.
Check out the CMO video below featuring our 787 Dreamliner, 747-8 Intercontinental, 747-8 Freighter and some other beautiful Boeing airplanes.
By the way, as the world commercial fleet expands over the next 20 years, a number of things need to happen globally to support that demand. For one thing, we're going to need a lot more people to fly and maintain those tens of thousands of new airplanes and to fill the jobs of those people who will retire. We also need to ensure a transformation in air traffic management around the world in order to increase capacity in the system.
Next week at the Paris Air Show, my colleague, Sherry Carbary, vice president of Boeing Flight Services, will release our 2011 Pilot and Technician Outlook. It's a big number, up from last year, indicating that we'll need tens of thousands of new pilots and technicians per year. Sherry plans to spell out what we need to do to meet those challenges. Should be a fascinating discussion.

I am also interested in Software-Defined Radio (SDR) and cooperative communications, with an emphasis on signal processing considerations. The computational aspects of these technologies, including implementation considerations when mapping SDR designs onto modern compute platforms, are also of interest.
