i love the new pic we got of official anime leon because he isn't really doing anything he just looks like he's deep within this horrifying psychological turmoil about baseball i mean
i am reaching but i fall
and the stars are black and cold
as i stare into the void
of a world that cannot hold
You sit at the restaurant with your young son, he says he is hungry. You agree to get him dinner. You open up to the kids menu, your child is far to young for adult food. Chicken nugger stares at you from the page. You don't understand. Your palms get sweaty and your son complains. He says he is hungry. Your mind strains, searching for an answer in a world of sweer potato and french fried. You try to order the chicken nugger, but you cannot. The words cannot escape your lips. Your son is hungry, he complains. The waitress stares at you, her head a spinning chicken nugger, her arms swinging french fried. Your son cries the tears of a chicken nugger-less child. In your mind you scream. It is raining sweer potato now, you have french fried engraved on your left temple and you do not understand. Your son weeps in the corner, he is starving. Starving for the chicken nugger.

I have a lot of feelings about Shinji and Kaworu.
I know that Kaworu's insertion has been criticized as deliberate and ridiculous yaoi-fodder, but I think that's a really myopic view of his purpose in the series.
Shinji is cripplingly terrified of relationships with others. Though he has constructed this elaborate delusion where his self-loathing and isolation are a form of martyrdom, he is very self-centered, and desperately wants validation and security from those around him on his terms and under his control. Unfortunately, self-loathing and abandonment trauma kind of throw a wrench into any prospects for intimacy.
Kaworu fulfills Shinji's desire for a safe, human connection. Since it has already been suggested that Shinji's sexuality w/r/t women frightens and occasionally repulses him (see: all his interactions with Asuka, Rei, and Misato), Kaworu's gender establishes him as uniquely nonthreatening. His professions of love elevate Shinji at the expense of Kaworu's own identity and autonomy ("I was probably born to meet you"), making Shinji the center of his universe. Kaworu is full of gentle but boundless praise and love. He caters completely to Shinji's selfish and unrealistic interpersonal needs.
Which is why Kaworu's death at Shinji's hands is so symbolically necessary. Kaworu is too good to be true. His existence as an angel is the ultimate betrayal, and a confirmation of Shinji's deepest fears: that no emotional investment is without risk. When Shinji kills Kaworu, much to his own anguish, it is him finally and fully confronting this fact. He must kill his fantasies and distorted self-perception, because they have stunted him totally and because they harm him and harm others. He must realize that truly selfless love involves the death of self, and that while he envisions this as comforting, it is in fact horrifying: it is a personal, violent precursor to Third Impact and Instrumentality.

lawn has Tif 419. I am considering doing another top dressing this year (top dressed with sand 3 years ago). I have read several posts on this topic.
Here is my game plan: Keep it cut to 1/2"
Any useful links or final words of advise would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I can't say that I've ever read anything about top dressing. I always just did it and I did it in early spring before the grass really gets growing. For one thing, it's much easier to spread the sand when the grass is thin. Another thing is that the lawn doesn't look good early in the spring anyway. I wouldn't want to do this when the lawn is in prime condition. |

Polling Report tells us that Bush still gets high (if slipping) marks for his handling of Iraq in a CBS News poll dated July 8-9 (approval is 58%, disapproval 32%). People still think that removing Saddam from power was worth it and that Saddam was a threat to the U.S. But there are a few interesting results beyond that:
"Do you think the end result of the war with Iraq was worth the loss of American life and other costs of attacking Iraq, or not?"
Worth It: 45%
Not Worth It: 45%
Don't Know: 10%
"Which comes closer to your opinion: Iraq was a threat to the United States that required immediate military action, or Iraq was a threat that could have been contained, or Iraq was not a threat to the United States at all?"
Required Immediate Action: 43%
Could Have Been Contained: 43%
Was Not a Threat: 9%
Don't Know: 5%
"From what you have seen or heard, is the United States in control of events taking place in Iraq, or are the events in Iraq out of U.S. control?"
In Control: 45%
Out of Control: 41%
Don't Know: 14%
"If the United States and its allies never find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, then do you think the war against Iraq will have been worth the loss of American life and other costs of attacking Iraq, or not?"
Worth It: 46%
Not Worth It: 46%
Don't Know: 8%
Thinking back now to the weeks before the war with Iraq, do you think the Bush Administration overestimated the number of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, underestimated the number of weapons of mass destruction, or accurately estimated the number of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?"
Overestimated: 56%
Underestimated: 11%
Accurately estimated: 19%
Don't Know: 14%
"When presenting what they knew about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before the war, do you think the members of the Bush Administration were telling everything they knew, most of what they knew, hiding important elements of what they knew, or mostly lying?"
Telling Everything: 4%
Telling Most: 32%
Hiding Important Elements: 45%
Mostly Lying: 11%
Don't Know: 8%

For example, there are infinite tops to wear with a black sequin maxi skirt, but the one that we think is the most fabulous is a crisp white tuxedo blouse. Or how does one bring a trendy burgundy leather skirt to life during the holidays? With none other than a glitzy embellished tank.

Ever since Lord Joseph Lister discovered and propagated the concept of antiseptics, aseptic training techniques have been developed the world over and have now become an indispensable part of the medical sciences and healthcare worldwide. Imagine an operating room of a large hospital without proper sterilization and antiseptic facilities. It is as impossible and unthinkable as the Sun rising in the west and setting in the east! Aseptic techniques training, to put it very simply, are an absolute must nowadays, particularly for staff of surgical departments of hospitals and clinics. A few basics of aseptic training are discussed below:
Aseptic techniques training courses are usually lengthy and may stretch from six months to two years. This depends totally on the course content and how specialized the training is. For instance, aseptic training given to doctors and nurses working in burn units or reconstructive and plastic surgery departments extend for a period of over two years given the specialized quality of their work.
if you are keen on receiving aseptic techniques training, you have to have either a recognized diploma or bachelor's degree in nursing from a nationally recognized and accredited nursing or medical school.
You need not have any prior surgical experience as you will be trained from scratch and gradually taken to advanced levels as you keep qualifying at each step. The course will contain the A to Z of aseptic techniques training, all taught in class.
Beforeenrollment, you may be required to sign a bond stating that you intend serving a certain surgical clinic or hospital after receiving your training for a pre-specified amount of time. This is more applicable to large hospitals, which send their existing staff for such specialized training at their own cost.
Your aseptic techniques training course will include: general aseptic techniques, hand washing or scrubbing, gowning and gloving in the operating room.You will be taught how to sterilize sophisticated, state-of-the-art surgical instruments either by autoclave or by dipping in antiseptics, preparing the surgical area and draping the patient before surgery, laparoscopic and traditional procedures. There will also be live demonstrations, so that you get a better idea of existing protocols.
Depending on the aseptic training course you opt for, you will be trained in super-specialized surgical fields such as pediatrics, cardio-thoracic/cardio-vascular, orthopedics, ENT and plastics.
You will also be exposed to practical training in operating rooms of large hospitals for firsthand experience by way of scrub and circulating rotations. This increases your confidence as you get to participate in various types of surgical operations and helps you get ready for the actual operating room experience once you complete the course. This also helps you to decide which surgical field you want to specialize and work in, later.
Any aseptic training course is conducted for around forty hours per week. Before enrollment, check with the training facility, how you can fit in if you are already working. This sort of training is also available online and you just need to find out which available courses are ideally suitable for you and their time schedules.

Timothy Brady has admitted to a charge of driving at 172 mph (276.8 kmph) on a British A road. The 33-year-old was caught driving his Porsche 911 on the A420 during a routine speed check by Thames Valley Police near Oxford. Mr Brady admitted the charge at the hearing taking place at Oxford Crown Court.
Mr Brady was clocked by police on a bridge and was later arrested four miles down the road after police used a car to block the road.
The speed is thought to be the highest ever recorded on a British road and is 100 mph over the legal limit of 70 mph. Campaigners from Brake, a road safety charity, told the BBC that the offence was "shocking".
He is likely to receive a jail term and be disqualified from driving. The previous record was set by Jason McAllister, a car dealer from Aberdeen who was clocked doing 156.7 mph in his BMW M3.

The search engine Google announced the removal of the official German BMW web site from its search results today. Google is reported to have removed the website due to the use of a trick to raise its website ratings in the search engine's results.
The online version of Forbes magazine reported that the German word for used car, Gebrauchtwagen, appeared 42 times in a doorway web page created by the German car manufacturer. Doorway web pages contain many keywords designed to attract search robots. The page presented to Google's robot for indexing was significantly different from the page presented to the site's visitors.
According to a recent blog post by Matt Cutts, one of Google's software engineers, this technique is "a violation of our webmaster quality guidelines." These guidelines encourage webmasters to "avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings."
BMW reacted to the measure by claiming that it had no intention of manipulating the search results, but instead used the doorway pages with the objective of "offering a better service" to those looking for used cars.

The 1999 and 2000 year model Honda Civic SiR tops the list of Canada's most stolen cars.
Consumer popularity also assures the cars will be popular with thieves. Its the second year in a row the Honda SiR has topped the list.
Rick Dubin Vice President of Investigations for the Insurance Bureau of Canada said "The Civics are easy targets."
Dubin said that once stolen, the cars are most often sold to "chop shops" where thieves completely dismantle the vehicles. The automobile's individual parts are worth more than the entire car.
The sheer numbers of the cars and their lack of theft deterrent systems make them thieves' preferred choices.
1999 and 2000 Honda Civics do not come with an electronic immobilizer, however all Hondas from 2001 and onward are equipped with an immobilizer. Immobilizers will be mandatory on all new cars sold beginning September 2007. The devices enable an engine computer to recognize an electronic code in the key. If the code in the key and the engine don't match exactly, the vehicle can't be started.
In third place was the 2004 Subaru Impreza, while the 1999 Acura Integra came in fourth, with the 1994 Honda Civic rounding out the top five.
In sixth place, the 1998 Acura Integra, and the 1993 Dodge Shadow completed seventh.
When asked why early model vehicles are selected, he said that, "auto thieves continue to find it easier to steal older vehicles lacking an IBC-approved immobilizer. We've seen this trend developing for several years, and these results confirm it."
Another Honda automobile, the 1996 year model Civic filled eighth place, with the 2000 German Audi TT Quattro in ninth.
The American 1996 Chevrolet/GMC Blazer rounded out the top ten.
None of the above cars had an electronic immobilizer.

The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) changed its content rating of the controversial Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas video game from "Mature" to "Adults Only" on Wednesday. The ESRB change came after a investigation proved that sexual content in the game could be unlocked by anyone with the Windows version or with a modified console.
Graphic sex scenes in the game can be revealed if a user downloads a patch from the internet of the "Hot Coffee modification" or enters codes into a 3rd party modifier such as the game shark. This opens up a locked mini-game that depicts characters as having sex. The secret code as well as the patch is widely available on the Internet such as gamer sites, MoFunZone.com and Gamespot.
In response to this, Rockstar Games and its parent company Take-Two Interactive stopped making the version of the game with the sexual content and plan to release a "Mature"-rated title in the fall with the "Hot Coffee" content removed.
Game maker Take-Two says the 'game mod' is third-party software that violates the end-user license agreement of the company's intellectual property rights. Citing what the company calls standard industry practice to create content that never makes it into the final version of a game, the sex scenes included in the software, "were never intended to be found."
After the rating change, stores such as Wal-Mart and Target pulled the game off their shelves under their policies not to sell "Adults Only"-rated games.
This controversy has lead to major debate between execs and politicians whether the video game industry should continue to judge itself or not. Many of the watchdog groups were unaware that content like this is usually "locked away" instead of being deleted.

A Norwegian University of Science and Technology study released Thursday found electric vehicles have a potential for higher eco-toxicity and greenhouse impact than conventional cars. The study includes an examination of the electric car's life cycle as a whole rather than a study of the electric car's environmental impact during the use phase.
The researchers conducted a comparison of the environmental impact of electric cars in view of different ratios of green-to-fuel electricity energy sources. In the case of mostly coal- or oil-based electricity supply, electric cars are disadvantageous compared to classic diesel cars with the greenhouse effect impact being up to two times larger.
The researchers found that in Europe, electric cars pose a "10% to 24% decrease in global warming potential (GWP) relative to conventional diesel or gasoline vehicles".
The researchers suggest to improve eco-friendliness of electric vehicles by "reducing vehicle production supply chain impacts and promoting clean electricity sources in decision making regarding electricity infrastructure" and using the electric cars for a longer time, so that the use phase plays a more important role in the electric vehicle life cycle.

L.Carnitine for weight loss
Robert Baird
At present the market is flooded by several weight loss supplements like weight loss pills, weight loss dietary supplements etc and all these are considered as effective components for aiding weight loss. While it is true that some of these components are effective in causing weight loss, not all are equally useful and some have been proved to have harmful effects on the organs of the body. It is for these reasons that it is usually suggested to all consumers that one should not fall victim to the lure of losing weight rapidly and invest in these weight loss products but rather they should conduct a thorough research, follow the guidelines set by the united states Food and Drug Administration and finally take medical guidance before indulging in any of these weight loss supplements. However it is no doubt that the most effective means of attaining weight loss is by means of maintaining a well balanced diet program and then having a regular exercising routine. These are the two major modes of attaining weight loss in a healthy manner. A very effective weight loss supplement that can be used alongside is L-Carnitine which is extremely beneficial in causing weight loss by mobilizing the fat content within the body and allows the loss of calories. It is often suggested that L-Carnitine be used in cooperation with other weight loss supplements to ensure raid and effective weight loss. The functioning of L-Carnitine is a bit complex. It is an amino acid which aids the disintegration of calories within the body and moreover it plays a pivotal role in replicating a huge chain of fatty acids into the mitochondria which facilitates rapid burning of fats thus aiding weight loss. There is also another significant reason which makes L-Carnitine stand out among the various other weight loss supplements. It has been noticed that among the various weight loss supplements that are available in the market, very few are concerned about reducing the accumulation of fats in the areas adjoining the liver and heart. L-Carnitine has the unique distinction of being one among those supplements which has this unique capacity of keeping a watch and restricting the accumulation of fat around the liver and heart.
Unlike the various side effects that are encountered in case of maintaining a low carbohydrate diet, the use of L-Carnitine is free of such adverse effects. It is instrumental in controlling the levels of triglyceride and plays a vital role in acting as a preventive against diabetes and high cholesterol apart from aiding weight loss.

People have long mulled over being a part of a network marketing business; however, most harbor a skeptical view of the claims made by network marketers. As a matter of fact, often a person relies on the network marketing experiences of an acquaintance he/she knows to reach a decision. These individuals ignore a crucial point that like all other business practices, network marketing calls for a systematic approach. Most marketers who fail to make a splash in the business are those who jump in without a well-planned strategy. This is where Tom Barrett's "Dare to Dream and Work to Win" will come in handy.
The efficacy of the text can be gauged by the fact that as astounding 300,000 copies of the program have been sold and it has been translated into several languages and all of this without a single penny spent for advertising or marketing the product.

Through the use of simple language and analogies and several examples of actual marketers, Tom Barrett offers the listener a realistic insight into the business and what it takes to generate revenue through it.
The book covers the four core principles that will serve as guiding lights on your way to success: the right approach, consistency, duplication and enough time on your hands. Along with these, you will need the three fuels, your vision, courage and stamina to see you to your goals.
The author manages to convince even the skeptics that it is possible to make money through network marketing if you follow the correct strategy. The inspiring audio program has generated rave reviews on just about every site and most buyers cannot stop talking about the stupendous impact that it has made on their business.

Great Returns with Small Kiosks
Making huge investments for buying a franchise may not spell success for budding entrepreneurs. However, there is more risk involved in buying an expensive franchise unit as compared to taking up a low-cost kiosk.
Low-cost kiosk format
Kiosks are small-sized shops, having a semi-permanent fixture. They are mostly present within a larger establishment such as a mall, departmental store etc. The structure of a kiosk could be designed as a standalone structure like a terminal, or a semi-enclosed booth. It offers a wide variety along with the advantage of low investment. The article enlightens aspiring entrepreneurs about low-cost kiosk franchise opportunity in various business formats.
Coffee kiosk franchise
The last few years have witnessed an upswing in the coffee culture brewing across the nation. Major companies like Coffee Day Xpress, Brewberrys and Gloria Jean s Coffee etc have started their coffee kiosk after seeing its low-cost multi benefits. The trend of coffee kiosks has gained tremendous popularity. The key to any such venture is finding out a good location that will give maximum benefit to the sales of coffee. Adding other items such as pastries, sandwiches etc can also promote low-cost coffee kiosk.
Candy kiosk
Candy kiosks attract kids by their enticing and eye-catching colours and presentation. Candy Treats, Sweet World etc are the main players in this section. This format is usually launched in malls and airports etc.
Ice-cream kiosk
Ice-cream kiosks format is another popular category which is gaining popularity in the current scenario. Most of the major players have adopted kiosks and cartwheel formats in ice-cream section. Kwality Walls, Baskin Robbins, Vadilal s, Amul, Gelato Vinto etc are a few names in this section. Quick service restaurant chain Nirula s has also started its standalone ice-cream kiosk model.
Chocolate kiosk
Chocolate kiosks are also catching up speed in the present business scenario. At present there are few kiosks in this format but this is an up-coming concept with great future prospects. Chocolate kiosk can provide entrepreneurs with the right franchising opportunity in terms of low investment and high gains.
Juice and cookies kiosk
A kiosk in juice and cookies category is also a lucrative option for aspiring franchisees. Today, consumers have become very health-conscious. This awareness has led to the opening of many juice bars in the country. Similarly branded cookies are also catching up with Indian preferences. Mr. Orange is a prominent player in the juice kiosk while Cookie Man comes under the cookie section.
Taking a kiosk of any of the above formats is surely a great franchise opportunity for budding entrepreneurs. To conclude, kiosks offer low-cost franchise opportunity with high returns.

Officials from the City of Montebello, Clean Energy and Montebello Bus Lines recently broke ground on a new fueling facility.
The 4,000-square-foot CNG facility will be fully functional in the first quarter of 2012.
At its peak, the fueling station will be able to service 100 cars and buses. The CNG facility will include a bus washer, fuel management system, and within 5 years, it will have 24-hour service. During the construction phase, 50 new jobs will be created and a percentage of those jobs will become permanent to maintain and operate the new CNG facility.
Currently, Montebello Bus Lines has three CNG-powered transit buses, manufactured by New Flyer of America, and the fleet will expand to 21 CNG vehicles over the next two years.

Kentucky has strengthened its position as a national model for election administration. Kentucky's implementation of the Help America Vote Act has been hailed by other states as highly effective and efficient. The Office has launched new online services to aid voters, developed a comprehensive guide to ballot access, and worked with the law enforcement officials to attack voter fraud in Kentucky, including proactive steps to provide Kentuckians with the most accurate regsitration list possible.
Kentucky has implemented all requirements of the Help America Vote Act in time for the 2006 election cycle. Many of these mandates strengthen accessibility for Kentuckians with disabilities. Additionally, Kentucky served as a model for many states in their implementation of the act.
The Office launched a number of efforts to address voter fraud in Kentucky. From the effort to reinstate an electioneering ban near the polls, to efforts to address vote buying and fraudulent voter registration techniques, the Office has been recognized nationally for efforts to clean up Kentucky's elections.
The Office has aggressively marketed elections in Kentucky via the Civic Literacy Initiative of Kentucky (CLIK). In addition to that effort, the Office has provided new, expansive means to access information about elections.

Bernd Haussmann
BERND HAUSSMANN divides his time between his studio north of Boston and Western Maine where he also works on a 250 acre nature project. Haussmann exhibits nationally and has had recent exhibitions in Boston, MA; Scottsdale, AZ; Fort Worth, TX; and Santa Fe, NM. His works are in a number of museum collections including the Danforth Museum of Art; Lyman Allyn Museum of Art; Hunterdon Museum of Art, Clinton, NJ; Longview Museum of Fine Arts, Longview, TX; and the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, among others.
Haussmann offers a deep investigation into the issues primary to the ongoing dialogue about painting in Provincetown. With subjects that range from an abstracted interpretation of nature to language and dreams to architecture to a total investment in the possibilities inherent in a single color. Haussmann extracts singular elements illuminated by bold colors and introduces a discussion of gesture, surface and the subconscious that, though contemporary in nature, can be traced directly back to the same philosophy of painting that defined Provincetown's schools from Hensche to Hoffman to Stout through the moment of abstraction's passionate public introduction at Forum 49. For him, rendering reality has been replaced with a trust that the viewer is the element that completes the work.

The year is fresh and new, so you are probably considering ideas on how to update your home. In addition to renovating your kitchen or bathroom, color is a simple way to revive a space and add personality. Explore these three colors designers are excited about in 2013.
Relaxing yet bold enough to make a statement, olive is the perfect shade of green that can be used in any room. The color pairs well with cream and brown tones. We personally enjoy this color for the living room accented with brown leather furniture.
Create a welcoming escape in any nook with this pink hue. The color is perfect for the foyer or even in a dining area. Rose goes well with a variety of colors creating a lush and rich feel. Incorporate the color in spaces where guests will gather due to its inviting nature.
The grey family may have some of our favorite tones. When you use colors like charcoal in the home, you can juxtapose your most eclectic pieces in style and color. Accent colors can be a breath of fresh air in rooms of neutral colors, so get creative. Bring in pieces that will pop, such as a red sofa, bright tufted benches or funky art.

Collision Repair Scottsdale and Allstate Drivewise
The collision repair Scottsdale professionals that you trust most have always been right around the corner when needed. Now, collision repair Scottsdale service that's fast, friendly and conscientious is now at the touch of a finger.
Allstate Drivewise – prolific auto insurance provider Allstate's usage-based insurance (UBI) tool that digitally tracks policyholders' habits behind the wheel – has expanded its service to more states across America, more collision repair Scottsdale shops nationwide, and now into the hands of smartphone users.
With the addition of Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Utah and Washington, 16 states' drivers are now covered by Drivewise. Allstate's UBI product employs a telematics device that monitors drivers' habits via their vehicles' respective diagnostic ports. Allstate can then scrutinize the portraits of driving habits they gain and parlay glowing records into policy discounts.
On average, Allstate claims, the average Drivewise policyholder since the program's 2010 rollout parlays that monitoring into 14-percent savings on average – up to 30 percent, in some states – just for driving safely and keeping their wheels out of the hands of mechanics and collision repair Scottsdale technicians, along with the 10-percent initial discount for new users.
Total, Drivewise now covers drivers in:
· Arizona
· Colorado
· Florida
· Illinois
· Indiana
· Maryland
· Michigan
· Minnesota
· New Jersey
· New York
· Ohio
· Oregon
· Pennsylvania
· Utah
· Washington
But that's not all.
Drivewise now also enjoys smartphone integration through a newly introduced, free-of-charge application.
Drivewise App users will user their user IDs and passwords to set up their accounts online. Once fully registered, they can then download and register the app via either iTunes or Google Play stores. Allstate representatives promise that the new feature will permit checks of Drivewise data and policy information in "near real-time."
Think of it as being like the Santa Claus of auto insurance. It might not know when you're sleeping or when you're awake. However, it knows when you've been speeding and it has a pretty good idea when you've been in a wreck that's landed your car laid-up with a collision repair Scottsdale technician.
So take our advice: the longer you steer clear of collision repair Scottsdale visits, the more filled your pockets may become. So give the new program a chance, and embrace Allstate Drivewise looking over your shoulder.
Collision Repair Claims in Scottsdale
OK, we'll admit it first: your friendly neighborhood collision repair Scottsdale specialists never really experience the Winter Blues.
Hey, we're all Phoenecians here, so let's be honest: while other body shops across the nation scramble at restoring and repairing vehicle after vehicle that skids across ice and delivers a hip-check that would make a Phoenix Coyotes defenseman applaud, the collision repair Scottsdale experts you know and love just keep satisfying customers who are as satisfied by our work in January as they would be in July.
We'd lend our luck to America's insurance professionals, that the luck of a collision repair Scottsdale pro could rub off. Reports suggest, per J.D. Power and Associates, that auto insurance policyholders register less satisfaction with claims service throughout the winter months. The latest reports actually indicate a dip that J.D. Power chalks up to a general holiday tension not necessarily having to do with claims service being any better or worse, but just a general unpleasant mood. The findings are based on roughly 2,800 auto claimants responses collected between November and December 2012.
An average $30 jump in out-of-pocket expense increases – sure, some probably paid to body shops across the country not unlike our own collision repair Scottsdale garage – could very well exacerbate already simmering stressors.
Of course, we understand. Collision repair Scottsdale shops in snowier climes experience a "clumping" of business when winter weather causes accidents, since so many drivers put off seeking out estimates to repair damages. As opposed to a previous study's reported average waiting period of 2.9 days to retrieve a repair estimate, the average wait through the winter months nationwide jumps to 3.3 days.
Collision repair Scottsdale shops can sometimes turn around jobs faster if they're situated within major insurance carriers' networks. Closer relationships with collision repair Scottsdale businesses mean that major carriers' claimants get their cars back on the road an average of 1.3 days faster from carrier-affiliated collision repair Scottsdale shops, J.D. Power reports.
Of course, keep one thing in mind: even your collision repair Scottsdale friends want you in our shop as little as possible. The less we see you, the safer we know you're driving…
Airpark Collision Center is a professional auto body paint repair shop and refinish facility. We are conveniently located in the Scottsdale Airpark to serve all of Scottsdale and the North Phoenix, Arizona areas. We do repair all makes and models of Ford, Chevrolet, GM, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Hyundai products while specializing in high end vehicles like BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, Cadillac, Land Rover and Jaguar. Bring your vehicle in today to receive priority service.
Sure, we give Phoenix's East Valley our very best year-round as your Scottsdale collision repair specialists. We only put in that much work, though, so that we can give the very best back to our loved ones.
The world doesn't stop turning every Easter Sunday, but it certainly slows to a crawl in many places. Families worldwide set aside day-to-day rigmarole so that they can all sit together and enjoy a peaceful, joyful meal.
Still, some years, who really feels like cooking? We have our moments when we need a moment away from Scottsdale collision repair responsibilities, no matter how much we love what we do. Likewise, if Easter Sunday comes and you find that you simply can't muster producing a massive spread, these area eateries will be hearing the hungry call of duty this Easter. Just the same way we take the worry out of your Scottsdale collision repair needs, let them make you an Easter dining experience to remember fondly…

That's only where the odyssey of tastes begins, as you can also partake of eggs benedict, egg-white omelets, stuffed French toast, cheese grits and other delicious selections.
From the Scottsdale collision repair professionals who keep Phoenix's East Valley riding high in style, have a happy Easter. Dig in!

Top off oil, transmission fluid, coolant and windshield-wiper fluid as need, while noting any leaks you might find. If something leaks, contact us, your body shop Scottsdale for a more expert once-over.
· LIGHTS: Check every light and signal before departing. Safety concerns aside, this also makes sure that you won't be unexpectedly pulled over because you missed a dud bulb. If your turn signal, headlights or brake lights don't function as they should, remedying the trouble could be as simple as dropping by a mechanic, body shop Scottsdale or auto parts retailer to get the correct bulb, and maybe even a little installation assistance. If neither your old bulb nor your new one lights up, seek out your local shop. It might be something a bit more complex that a trained mechanic or body shop Scottsdale technician can diagnose and remedy more quickly than a DIY fix.
· TIRE INFLATION/TREAD: In the unlikely event your car's owner's manual doesn't indicate your vehicle's ideal tire PSI, the tires themselves should indicate somewhere right on the rubber how much pressure it needs. As with the previous items, you don't need a body shop Scottsdale to tell you when you've exhausted your tread, either. The penny test will do fine: the tread should cover at least part of Honest Abe's head. If it doesn't, then talk with your body shop Scottsdale about some replacements before you embark. This isn't just a safety issue, either; Properly inflated tires with plenty tread remaining can keep your gas mileage more efficient over time.
· PLAN FOR THE WORST: How does the old saying go? "Life is what happens when you're making plans." As said before, as thoroughly as anybody could plan, there's still that possibility Murphy's Law will sentence you to an unexpected body shop Scottsdale or service center stay for your vehicle's emergency care. Have a plan. Keep AAA and other roadside-assistance contact numbers where you'll find them easily in a pinch. Know exactly what emergency-assistance services your insurance policy provides, too. In particular, ascertain whether your insurance policy provides free or reimbursed towing. Along the way, have a good idea not just where you can find your nearest mechanic at Airpark Collision Center body shop Scottsdale, but parts retailers such as O'Reilly Auto Parts or a NAPA Auto Care Center.
Drive safely out there. Remember, a body shop Scottsdale may stay afloat because every vehicle needs a little occasional TLC, but we'll take a slow business day if it means you always reach your destination safely.
Body Shop Scottsdale Spring Car Care Tips
Well, believe it or not, we are less than a month away from the vernal equinox, aka the beginning of Spring! It may be time to check some things over on your vehicle. As your premier body shop Scottsdale, we want you to be traveling in the safest manner possible. According to the consumer reports, there are a few tips you can use that may help you steer clear of any potential problems.
1) Some drivers actually don't remove or delay in removing their winter tires. As winter tires offer exceptional traction on snow and ice, they sometimes compromise stopping ability on wet and dry roads, will not handle near as well as all-weather tires, and wear out faster than other tires. If your winter tires are located on specific wheels, make sure to clean the tires and wheels completely to remove winter salt deposits that can create wheel corrosion and store them in a cool, dry place.
2) Pot holes that develop during winter can be extra harsh on your vehicle's suspension system. No matter if you had winter tires or all-season type tires on your car or truck, check them for even wear across the tread of the tire. If you do in fact find uneven wear, you may need a wheel alignment and/or new tires to prevent problems. Come in and see us at your body shop Scottsdale for help with this isssue.
3) With Spring coming and Summer on the horizon, it is good to get tires that resist hydroplaning in heavy rain and on slippery roadways. Sometimes it is good to use the quarter-test to determine the tread you have left on your tires. When you are down to an 1/8 inch or less it is time to replace your tires. We can check your tires at your body shop Scottsdale to determine the tread you have left available.

Scottsdale Body Shop Likes These Apps
With the new age of smartphones, we have several awesome tools at our fingertips. Like you have heard before, there's an app for that. For the most part, there really is an app for just about everything. You can download them from your smartphone's app store, some for free, and others for a small fee.

How cool is it that there is an app that will show you where speed traps and red light cameras are? Your Scottsdale body shop, Airpark Collision Center knows that these apps can help you in your everyday driving.
We have located a couple apps that can tremendously help when it comes to your car or truck. Do a quick search on your smartphone in your app store to read about more details and features they provide.

Scottsdale Body Shop Deductibles and Premiums
Scottsdale Body Shop Deductibles and Premiums
Sometimes the lower price seems great, right? Not in every case, though – especially when it comes to insurance. Have you ever noticed that when you are shopping for insurance quotes, the plans with lower monthly rates have a higher deductible? The insurance companies actually use mathematical algorithms to determine profitability when it comes to how much they should charge for insurance to policy holders. This ensures that they don't lose money in the long haul. If you were ever at a Scottsdale body shop after an accident, you may have wondered why your insurance deductible was so high.
Higher insurance deductibles are often featured in policies with lower premiums. This allows insurance providers to remain profitable and stay in business, but also presents consumers with a choice. Paying higher premiums on a regular basis will likely mean less of a financial burden if an accident occurs, whereas a higher deductible will mean less money regularly spent to maintain a policy. As your choice Scottsdale body shop, we would like you to be aware of this.
This means that if someone were to avoid car accidents and collisions completely, the high-deductible policy would be ideal, because premiums are lower. Since accidents are by definition not entirely under the driver's control, however, assuming that they will not occur may be unwise. Take it from us, your Scottsdale body shop – a higher deductible may not always be the right answer.
Scottsdale Body Shop Windshield Claim Info
As your premier Scottsdale body shop, we would like to share some important info about windshields.
Windshield damage is a very popular occurrence when operating a vehicle. Don't forget that your windshield is a structural element in your car or truck. Having a cracked or otherwise broken windshield can diminish the integrity of your vehicle's structure. Automotive designers plan the windshield as part of the rollover safety features which are meant to keep you inside the car during a collision. Most people aren't even aware that airbags actually are designed to work most properly with the windshield in place.
Living in Arizona, we see our fair share of rocks flying up at our windshield. The first thing you hear is that "whack" that send chills up your spine. Is it going to crack? Or just a chip this time? The good news is, most insurance companies cover this type of problem included in your full coverage plan. Airpark Collision Center, your Scottsdale body shop, can help you when it comes to these issues.
Should I File a Windshield Claim?
The good news is most car insurance companies do not surcharge for glass claims because they are considered unavoidable comprehensive claims. Therefore, most car insurers will not raise your renewal rates even if you have filed a claim for glass repairs. If you need your glass repaired or replaced, or have any other auto body need please set an appointment with Airpark Collision Center – your Scottsdale body shop.
Your Scottsdale Body Shop Customer Experience
The "Customer Experience" is a highly overlooked element when it comes to choosing businesses to work with. When it comes to choosing a Scottsdale body shop, you should think about how you will be treated from the moment you make that first phone call or appointment. As a customer, you have the right to be treated with respect and courtesy at all times. When you choose Airpark Collision Center to be your Scottsdale body shop, you will be treated extremely well.

Scottsdale Body Shop Halloween Tips
Halloween is a very fun time for your family to dress up and enjoy parties and what we all look forward to at Halloween – candy. Your premier Scottsdale body shop – Airpark Collision Center, would like you to be as safe as possible.
Here are some tips to keep in mind to ensure your night goes well.
1. Try to have a route planned ahead of time.
Since trick-or-treating can have you several streets from your house, mapping out a route of your neighborhood is a great idea. Try and stay on paths that you and your child are comfortable with to avoid getting lost.
2. Remember the comfortable shoes.
If you are planning a long route, make sure children are in comfortable, well-fitting footwear. Stay away from heels if you are a girl with a dress, and avoid tripping in the dark by double tying your shoelaces.
3. Keep well-lit.
You want your children to be seen by drivers on the road, so reflective tape is a great option. Also, keep a flashlight with you to help your child's path stay lit at all times.
4. Try to watch your costume's length.
Lengthy costumes that drag on the ground can be hazardous, more-so at night. After buying your child's costume, make sure it's an appropriate length, and hem anything that's too long to avoid tripping.
5. Try to stay away from using masks.
Seeing and breathing can be difficult in a mask for your child. If at all possible, skip the mask altogether and use non-toxic make-up to complete the costume instead.
Also, here are some tips for keeping your car or truck looking not so "scary", too!
Is your car or truck starting to look a little freakish? Airpark Collision Center, your premier Scottsdale body shop can help you with paintless dent repairs, full auto detail or any other auto need you may have.

Choose a quality body shop in Scottsdale.
When it comes to getting your vehicle serviced, remember this – you have a choice where it is repaired. Between all of the hustle and bustle in our daily lives, some of these important decisions are overlooked. But where you take your vehicle for service is a very important decision nonetheless. Your safety, and better yet, your family's safety, depends on those who service and repair your vehicles. We would like you to look outside of the "big box" and consider choosing Airpark Collision Center of North Scottsdale for all of your automotive needs.
Currently we live in a world of big box stores, where mass customers are served, customer service is poor, and quality is often disappointing. A similar thing is happening in the Auto Body and Repair industry. Large companies and corporations (some who have never been in the auto repair industry), now own multiple shops, and are concerned with making as much money in a short amount of time without regard to customer service or quality of repair. Airpark Collision Center, is a privately owned body shop in Scottsdale and operated by people who live in Scottsdale and the surrounding area. We care about our customers and the facility's reputation. Airpark Collision Center, would like to remind consumers that you have a choice of where your vehicle gets repaired. After all it is your vehicle.

Scottsdale Body Shop Discusses Shelby Exhibit
The Scottsdale International Auto Museum exhibits some rare moments in Shelby's distinguished book of American custom automotive history. Any of the 10 rare, custom vehicles on display would make a body shop Scottsdale pro from Scottsdale to Detroit shed a tear.
The Scottsdale institution's collection of 2007-2011 Ford Shelby vehicles with distinctive body-shop personalization carries, to the car, the personal seals of approval of Shelby's Bob Bondurant and Carroll Shelby themselves. The Shelby style has been the canvas on which body shop artists have painted their own personal works of art, and several have had the honor of being co-fashioned and even driven by Shelby and Bondurant.
Take the 2007 Ford Shelby GT raced Shelby's 85th and 86th birthdays, for example. Bondurant himself drove it on his person track, but the one-of-a-kind Ford bears six Carroll Shelby signatures and special event badging. Likewise, the 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 convertible's black-with-red-stripe paint job is the work of Shelby himself.
Race-ready and street-legal, the 2007 Ford Mustang GT/SC would be reason alone to make the sojourn to Scottsdale. Registered through multiple Shelby registries and carrying six certified signatures, it's a top-to-bottom Carroll Shelby original. It's packing fully loaded racing rims, tires and brakes, along with a Hertz hood, sequential tail lights, limited plates and manufacturer spoiler.
The 2011 Ford Mustang Daytona 500 might be the most well-traveled Ford in all of Scottsdale. It's the official, Shelby-registered 52nd Annual Daytona 500 pace car, certified #38 of 50 produced. It's signed by NASCAR star Carl Edwards, as well as Bondurant and fellow racing legend Jack Roush – the only individual car in the series with all three signatures. This car won a Nov. 13, 2010, Nationwide Series and Nov. 14, 2010 Sprint Cup Series race.
Some have been anointed by Shelby himself to be as distinctive as advertised. Some have been designed by Shelby personally. All carry the Shelby brand's seal of approval, and all leave the Ford Shelby distinctive mark of American muscle for every body shop in Scottsdale or any other place where horsepower is king.

Phoenix & Scottsdale Body Shop Summer Car Care
Have you ever wondered about the importance of window tinting? Why do so many people have their windows tinted here in Arizona? You may be interested to know that there are several reasons your premier body shop in Scottsdale wants to help you be aware of.
Due to the valley's extreme heat there are great reasons to tint your vehicle's windows. Not only can it reduce the temperature in your car, but window tint could also keep you from getting in an accident. Listed below are 5 Reasons to Tint Your car/truck or SUV.
- Avoid Overheating: Your car's interior can be 60% cooler during those hot summer days with proper tinting.
- Protect your Skin: Harmful UV rays from the sun can cause skin cancer. Tinting your car can block 99% of these damaging rays.
- Accident Protection: In an auto accident, tinting can help shattered glass hold together, protecting the occupants of the car.
- Safer Driving: Tinting reduces dangerous glare from the sun, snow, and other headlights, helping you drive safely.
