Thanks <3
Get a good tan. I think that is sexy! Always go out with your makeup on and your hair fixed. Dress in what makes you feel sexy.
Hot-Pot Cooking for the winter back-country enthusiasts
Can you recommend a cheap and hot country to go to at the beginning of June?
I am looking to travel away with my exteneded family somewhere where flights are relitavely cheap, as are living expenses, and most importantly the weather in hot and sunny.
You can't go wrong with Puerto Rico...
the climate is hot, you don't need a lot of money to get there
and their umbrella drinks are to kill for.
nice beaches and i believe they also cater to kids.
Just a quick question when I when to the vet got my dog they gave her a rabies tag or registration tag but anyways it came like a normal tag but also a separate metal squiggly like an S shape what is that for I put it like a normal tag but wondering what that was for thanks.
Thanks for the answers and sorry I'm on an iPod so it is hard to write. Also I said it was a quick question so I dident have time spell everything
The metal thing is just another thing you can use to clip the tag onto your dogs collar, usually by putting the tag on one end of the "S" shape and using pliers or some other tool and bending the other side down and onto/over the ring on the dog collar. But you don't have to use it.
What is the best non-turbo stock 4 cylinder car to race that is 1980 or older? Please include explanation...?
I race in a four cylinder class at a racetrack at home. We are allowed any four cylinder car that is a 1980 or older, that is purely stock, non turbo, and is roughly around 160 hp...
What do you think is the best choice here? If you could include any explanation as to why you think this, that would be great!

How do I remove the plastic engine cover on a 2003 VW Golf?
How do I remove the plastic engine cover on a 2003 VW Golf? Standard 2.0 L engine. No turbo. I've read there are a couple of screws and then just pull up to pop it off. I want to be sure I've loosened everything before I pull it upwards. Anyone got a checklist? Thanks in advance.
Simply remove the four screws and remove the cover.
I am using krylon fusion...its supposed to "fuse with the plastic"...i just need to know if i should use a hi temp. The cover is on my 2009 lancer gts...its not anything on the engine itself really, but i do understand how hot it can get under the hood...thanks ahead of time for the help.
What your oing is fine. The fusion paint will work fine on the engine cover with no probs.
Now if it was on the metal parts of the engine like the block, heads, intake, etc then you would need a high temp engine paint, just so it wouldnt heat blister and peel off
No spray paint once dry is gonna be a fire risk, so thats nothing to worry about at all.
Only reason for the high temp paint is like I said, most paint at about 200* will heat blister and start to peel
I know it's wrong to label people, but just wondering. I I have long brown hair ,like lots of music like..... Classic Rock( Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink FLoyd), Punk rock (Sex Pistols, THe Damned),Heavy metal (MEgadeth, Mushroomhead), Grunge (Nirvana,Hole)........So what would you label that?
boring...predictable...herd animal...

African Violet An Indoor Plant
African violets can bloom any time of the year. They are indoor plants, and as such, are not under the constraints that other plants are to bloom seasonally. Some growers say their violets actually can bloom 12 months of the year; in other words, all the time. I, myself have found that after blooming for six to eight weeks my violets need to take a "rest" period of one to three months.
But, usually my violets are in bloom twice a year, sometimes three, and at six to eight weeks at a time that sums up to about five to six good months of blooms, not too shabby! They are especially lovely when blooming during the cold of winter, when their deep green foliage and bright colorful blooms are in contrast to the white snow or the gray landscape, outside the window. One thing that will contribute to violets' potential to bloom year-round is to fertilize them every time they are watered. That, along with enough sunlight, humidity and warmth is the best recipe for African violets.
It is not uncommon for violets to "sport". In other words, your white violet puts up a purple blossom, or pink blossom or some other color. When the hybridizer created your particular variety, they cross pollinated two violets, more than likely, one of them was purple. So your violet has reverted back to one of its parents. Will it go completely purple? That's a good possibility. Why? Well some are just more "unstable" than others. I would guess the plant you bought was probably an Optimara violet.
Optimara violets are grown by a huge commercial grower in Nashville, Tenn. It was started by the Holtkamp family when they were in Germany. Eventually they came to this country and the family has carried on with violets for years and years. They are the biggest or at least one of the biggest commercial violet hybridizers and growers in the nation.
They produce plants for the home grower that uses window light. Folks like me that have ten lighted plant stands and a big room grow for show, I do grow Optimara violets, some of their plants make great show plants. However, when I do get one, I figure it has at least a 50% chance of sporting to a different color.
That makes it not blooming true so I couldn't show it under the name that was given because the plant would not match the description they gave to the African Violet Society of America to register it. Complicated I know but that's the rules and since I'm also an African Violet judge, I have to know those rules.
When a violet sports to a different color, it doesn't mean you have done anything wrong. Although environment can be a factor, it is more likely that the plant is just not stable. Sometimes you get pretty interesting color combinations from the plant that sports. Sometimes it will change colors and never go back to the original color. In fact, all the plants that I have grown that sported never went back to the original color. You never know what you'll wind up with sometimes.
As for repotting. If it has been over six months since you acquired the plant or since you have repotted, it would be a good idea to repot. But repotting into a pot that is too large will cause the roots to stay too soggy and your plant will not thrive. Violets like "tight feet" and they don't like soggy roots. So overpotting and overwatering is a no,no. The general rule is the pot should be 1/3 the size of the plant. For example: If your plant is 12 inches across from leaf tip to leaf tip, then it should be in a four inch pot. The soil you use is important also.
Most of the soils labled for African Violets is junk! Way too heavy for violets. So I would try to find a very light soil. Sunshine makes a good one, Optimara makes a good one. You can use one labeled for violets but be sure to add at least 50% or more perlite to the mix. That makes it lighter. You can usually find everything you need at Wal-Mart or a good nursery might have what you need. Most good violet soils are 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 vermiculite. But you should be able to find a "ready made" one.
The most important factor in getting African Violets to bloom is light-Insufficient light is probably the most common reason for failure of African violets to flower. They need at least six to eight hours per day in order to flower. South or west windows will give you the best light this time of the year. You can also use artificial lighting.
They do best in daytime temperatures of 70 to 90 and nighttime temps of 65-70. They also like high humidity, which you can offer by placing the pot into a pebble tray-fill a small tray with pebbles and place the pot into this tray. Keep filled with water, this will create humidity around the plant. Never mist an African Violet or any plant with 'hairy' leaves.
Allow the soil to become dry to the touch between waterings. Pour water until it is coming out of the drain holes. Try not to splash water onto the leaves. Add a 20-20-20 fertilizer at least once a month. I believe it is Miracle Grow that makes one just for African Violets.
