The Death of Absalom
1And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them. 2And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Jo´ab, and a third part under the hand of Ab´ishai the son of Zeru-i´ah, Jo´ab's brother, and a third part under the hand of It´tai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also. 3But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succor us out of the city. 4And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands. 5And the king commanded Jo´ab and Ab´ishai and It´tai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Ab´salom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Ab´salom.
6So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of E´phra-im; 7where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men. 8For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
9And Ab´salom met the servants of David. And Ab´salom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away. 10And a certain man saw it, and told Jo´ab, and said, Behold, I saw Ab´salom hanged in an oak. 11And Jo´ab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle. 12And the man said unto Jo´ab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Ab´ishai and It´tai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Ab´salom. 13Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me. 14Then said Jo´ab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Ab´salom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak. 15And ten young men that bare Jo´ab's armor compassed about and smote Ab´salom, and slew him.
16And Jo´ab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Jo´ab held back the people. 17And they took Ab´salom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent. 18Now Ab´salom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Ab´salom's place.
19Then said Ahim´a-az the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the Lord hath avenged him of his enemies. 20And Jo´ab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead. 21Then said Jo´ab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Jo´ab, and ran. 22Then said Ahim´a-az the son of Zadok yet again to Jo´ab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Jo´ab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready? 23But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahim´a-az ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.
24And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone. 25And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near. 26And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings. 27And the watchman said, Methinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahim´a-az the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
28And Ahim´a-az called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the Lord thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king. 29And the king said, Is the young man Ab´salom safe? And Ahim´a-az answered, When Jo´ab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was. 30And the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
31And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the Lord hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee. 32And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Ab´salom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. 33And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Ab´salom! my son, my son Ab´salom! would God I had died for thee, O Ab´salom, my son, my son!

This page explains how to use Windows Search, how to set it to not index USB drive or sensitive files, and also some tech details for programers. (This article is tested with Windows Vista, but should be similar in Windows 7.)
There are several ways to bring up the search box.
Search location can be set. Also, what type of file to search. Which files to index. Or, whether to search only indexed files.
When doing a search, you can also choose date range, file type, size, and "AND", "OR", "NOT" operation on words.
Search query can be saved. To save, just click on the Save Search in the bar.
You can choose what folder or drive Windows will index. You can stop it from indexing USB drives.
To choose which folder or files to index, first do a search on some random word, then in the search result page, there will be a Search Tools button. Click on it. You'll get a "Modify Index Locations…". Then, you'll get a dialog.
The dialog is not very intuitive. Click on Modify, then click on "Show all locations".
There, you can set which folder, file, drive, that you do NOT want to index. A check mark means it won't be indexed.
In the above, you can also set it to not index any file with a particular file suffix, such as ".zip". Click on Advanced button.
After clicking on the "Advanced" button, there you can also click on the "Rebuild" button to re-index. (may take hours, but runs in the background.)
Windows Search is a modern search engine. First it index your files by words into a database. So, when you use search, it can quickly show you files that contain that word.
The Windows Search pane is a virtual folder named 〔search-ms:〕 or 〔Search Results〕.
In order to do indexing on various type of files such as Word document, spreadsheets, PowerPoint file, html docs, MP3, image files, OutLook data files, IE cache… it need to be able to understand the format. Microsoft's technology for this is called IFilter. It functions as a component. When a IFilter for a particular file format is installed, search can understand the file and extract words from that file or indexing.
The location of the database by default is at:

subset: commoncrawl

I liked the mini golf even though it wasn't kept up.
This was a bad choice to stay in. The cabin was dirty and old and gross. The people at the RV park lived there. It was gross. The lounge was sketchy. Overall it was a bad choice.

Frodo Goes All Crazy In The New 'Maniac' Trailer
IFC Midnight's "Maniac" is under a month away from its release, OK, more like 29 days, but who's counting. Yesterday, Apple.com released the first US trailer and a new poster.
"Maniac" is set to hit theaters June 21, and will star Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings) as a crazy killer whose point of view makes up most of the film. Franck Khalfoun, who directed "P2," joins with writer/producer/director Alex Aja, who has worked on such great films such as "The Hills Have Eyes," "Mirrors," "High Tension," and "Piranha 3D." When these two come together, they always deliver top-notch films. And if you haven't seen the original 1980 "Maniac," rectify that immediately.
Check out the trailer below and poster after the jump:
[jwplayer mediaid="150108″]
A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in the present day, MANIAC is a reboot of the cult film considered by many to be the most suspenseful slasher movie ever made. Frank (Elijah Wood, in a tour de force performance) is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank's obsession escalates and the number of victims increases, it becomes clear that Frank is far more dangerous than he seems. With a pulsating electronic score by Rob, the film is an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and profoundly horrific trip into the downward spiraling nightmare of a killer and his victims.
Still now sold? Here is the first six minutes, enjoy:

Although an improvement on Southland Tales, Richard 'Donnie Darko' Kelly's cryptic moody thriller has a far-fetched premise that is not helped by a script filled with holes.
Richard Kelly has endured a torrid time since his 2001 debut Donnie Darko, a perennial get-out-of-jail card that is perhaps approaching its use-by date. The doyen of the US indie scene had film buffs clamouring hopefully for his Donnie Darko follow-up in 2007, but most were horrified by the garbled, overreaching hank of auterism-on-steroids that was Southland Tales. Skipping cinemas altogether in Australia, Southland Tales was a sprawling "sequel" to three apocalyptic graphic novels set in the very near future. The film splattered cameos from Kevin Smith, Mandy Moore and Justin Timberlake through a spaghetti of pop-cultural references that made David Foster Wallace's 1,000-page tome Infinite Jest look positively uncluttered.
So here he is attempting to stem the bleeding, and arrest a seeming slide into the space-time wormhole, by teaming up with a big studio for a more straight-ahead thriller. Working from Richard Matheson's 1970 short story Button, Button, Kelly has produced a moody and visually intoxicating star vehicle with The Box, but what disappoints this time around is not largesse or non-linearity, but rather a script riddled with holes. As the running time drags on, there is simply no getting away from the fact that the fundamentally ludicrous premise cannot take flight due to uneven pacing and a dearth of resonant scares.
It's not usually a good sign when a feature length script takes its cues from a source as slight as Matheson's tale, and The Box suffers from an overstretched plot as it follows the fantastical fall from grace of Norma (a distractingly de-glamourised Cameron Diaz) and Arthur Lewis (James Marsden). The pair, with child, are suburbanites in seventies Richmond, Virginia who receive the titular wooden box on their doorstep in the early stages of the film. The man behind the box is the enigmatic Arlington Steward (Frank Langella), who eventually shows his face to the couple, or at least most of it - one quarter of his scone is missing thanks to the wonders of digital make-up. Just as eerie as the missing scallop on Steward's left cheek is his message: Norma and Arthur will receive one million dollars simply by pushing a button located atop the box. As a consequence of their actions, however, an unknown person somewhere in the world will die.
The stakes never seem high enough for the simple reason that Arthur has a steady job at NASA, even if he has recently missed out on what was thought to be a sure-fire promotion. This is not Struggle Street, it's the middle classes, and - as far as slumming families in the cinematic universe go - the view could be a lot worse. The mid-seventies period details also feel like distracting window dressing, and mostly a means of sidestepping the complications of setting the premise in a virally interconnected modern world where everyone knows everyone. While Kelly's lustrous, digitally acquired images prove that the Panavision Genesis Camera is worth its weight in gold, his visual chops are in service of an increasingly nonsensical story.
The Box abounds with strange, tangential details - Cameron Diaz's character has four missing toes, and Marsden is set on building a prosthesis that will allow her to walk without a limp. While viewers might be nonplussed by some of these side details, it makes sense when you learn that Kelly has attempted to graft the story of his own parents' lives onto the plot. Diaz's foot injury is based on his mother, for instance, and Kelly's dad was famously a NASA man. Fleshing out Matheson's Spartan framework with details of his own family might seem an admirable way of injecting personality into a studio picture, but Kelly fails to improve a premise that seems unable to hold up for more than half an hour. Glimpses of Kelly's talents are here to be seen, but surely they'll be used in aid of worthier stories in the future. For now, it's back to the wormhole.

The eyes of the nation were watching the tiny capital of Kentucky on this day 42 years ago. It was a Thursday. Unlike the weather of late it was extremely cold. Early that morning the city experienced sleet, which tapered off into a cold rain.
It was a day when African Americans were not permitted to eat in Frankfort restaurants, nor stay in Frankfort hotels, nor try on clothes in Frankfort stores. It was a day that would change all of that. But not overnight. They called it The March on Frankfort.
Forty-two years ago an estimated 10,000 black and white people marched down Capital Avenue in the name of equality and civil rights. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. led the nations first major civil rights march south of the Mason-Dixon line. Jackie Robinson, who broke the major league baseball racial barrier in 1947, was here that day, too.
Clinton Streets First Baptist Churchs pastor Rev. K. L. Moore convinced Dr. King to participate in the march. Moore said, I told him if he didnt come here, he would go to heaven being sorry for what he missed.
Gus Ridgel, former Kentucky State University vice president, served as grand marshal and was supposed to keep an eye on Dr. King during the event. Two FBI officers were also assigned to protect King. Ridgel made history himself when he filed a suit against the University of Missouri in 1950 becoming the first black admitted there.
Sheila Mason-Burton, a student at Frankfort High School then, recollected: The day before, the principal said anyone who goes to the march will be suspended from school. Imagine the principals chagrin when then-Gov. Ned Breathitts daughter Mary Fran, Burtons FHS classmate, took off from school and participated in the march the next day.
Rev. L. A. Newby, pastor of First Corinthian Baptist Church, cherishes a photo showing him standing just behind Dr. King in the 1964 Frankfort march. Newby, who had just finished college at Central State University in Ohio, said, The march was a highlight of any black persons life, mainly because of the struggle we had experienced personally. For Dr. King to come to Kentucky and march with us was just inspiring, exhilarating.
It would be two years before Gov. Breathitt and the 1966 General Assembly would enact a civil rights bill prohibiting discrimination in employment and public accommodations, the first southern state to do so.
On the 40th anniversary of the event chairwoman of the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights Priscilla Johnson said, the marchers called for laws that would bring to an end the legal humiliation of an entire race of people, an outrage that had plagued the commonwealth from its beginnings. The law now prohibits discrimination against people on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sex and age in employment, housing, public accommodations and financial transactions.
When we address those events of forty-two years ago theres another name to be remembered: Gertrude Ridgel. A Kentucky State professor at that time, Ridgel participated in student Frankfort restaurant sit-ins.
I remember going with a group of students in Putts Restaurant, which was supposed to be an outstanding restaurant, said Ridgel. We sat there and sat there, and they completely ignored us. After an hour and a half, we left.
Her next sit-in was at Horn Drug where she ordered a hamburger, and to her surprise, a man brought it to me on a plate. I sat there and ate it and, of course, everybody was giving me that you-dont-have-any-business-in-here look. When her husband Gus appeared the next day for lunch he was refused service.
The march 42 years ago today was not a march of rage in spite of all the outrages, all the indignities, the injustices they and countless others like them had endured. It was a march of hope. They were against violence. Their approach was to pray and work within the system. And theres still work to be done.

As a general guide, estimated program costs are: Application Fee: $250 ApplicationTuition (6 credits): $4,500Additional Fees: $2,350Approx. Airfare: $1,300 from U.S. to Europe (this is an average and can be more or less depending on the carrier and timing of ticket purchase)Miscellaneous Costs: $1,500 (tube pass, meals, personal expenses, etc. - this varies based on spending habits) Withdrawal Should you withdraw from the program on or before April 15, 2016, tuition and program fees are refunded.

International Travel You are responsible for international and intra-European travel. Hamline Law has no responsibility for such arrangements. You must arrive in London no later than Sunday, June 19, 2016. Housing is available after 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 18, 2016 and must be vacated by 10 a.m. on Friday, July 22, 2016. Airfares to Europe can vary greatly. Make your travel plans early to take advantage of advance purchase options. London is served by two airports: Heathrow and Gatwick. Fares usually start to drop in early January but increase quickly as flights for summer travel fill. Please consult a good travel agent or visit a reputable travel website such as: Kayak.com Travelocity.com Cheapflights.com Cheapfares.com STAtravel.com Studentuniverse.com If you plan to travel before or after the program, you may want to purchase a Eurail Pass while still in the U.S. It is possible to buy a Eurail Pass at a limited number of Eurail Aid offices in Europe, however, prices are about 20% higher than if you bought the same pass in the U.S. There are also a limited number of regional passes that cannot be purchased in Europe. Individual train tickets can be purchased at train stations. Information about train schedules and tickets is available on their website. Passports, Visas You are responsible to obtain a passport prior to traveling to London. Contact the nearest state department office or post office for further information. Lines at passport offices can be very long, especially just before the summer holidays. Plan ahead and obtain your passport early! U.S. citizens do not need a visa to travel to the U.K. for a short course of study. You may be asked to present your letter of invitation from Queen Mary University of London (sent in your information packet), along with your round trip ticket, to customs officials upon arrival in the U.K. For non-U.S. citizens/nationals, please consult the U.K. Border Agency as well as the U.K. Visa Services to determine if your home country is defined as a visa national country. If you are in need of prior entry clearance, please apply early. Please note that student visitors are not eligible to work in the U.K. at paid or unpaid employment, including internships. To help in the case that you lose your passport, take a copy of your passport (and visa, if applicable), and keep it in a separate space. If your U.S. passport is lost or stolen, you must go to the U.S. Embassy to get a replacement. This is inconvenient, but necessary as you cannot leave the country without it.

Acceptance of any credit or grade for any course taken in this program is subject to approval by the student's home school.

Students interested in acceleration should seek clarification at their home schools in light of ABA Standard 304, Interpretation 304-4. Note: Hamline students are advised that academic credit for "Introduction to U. S. Arbitration Law: Domestic and International Perspectives" is not awarded if you have already taken an introductory arbitration course for law school credit. Program Cancellation Hamline Law reserves the right to alter or cancel this program for limited enrollment or if exceptional circumstances (natural disaster, war, political unrest, or similar emergency) occurs.

In the event of material program alteration, you may cancel by sending a letter stating your intentions and request for a refund of tuition and fees within seven days of notification. Refunds are issued within 20 days after program cancellation or receipt of your letter.

Montgomery real estate agent Derek Tye flies his drone helicopter with a GoPro camera attached around a property he is selling on Deerfield Road.
- Filed Under
Derek Tye thought he had the perfect combination of technology and his lifelong hobby to help him sell more houses as a real estate agent. But his foray into using drones to take videos for prospective homebuyers is now a cautionary tale to anyone looking to capitalize on the exploding world of unmanned aircraft.
His story has caught the attention of Federal Aviation Administration officials. And it has raised questions with privacy and civil rights advocates concerned about where the drone technology is headed.

The Blog
Andrew Breitbart, 1969-2012
7:05 PM, Mar 1, 2012 • By STEPHEN F. HAYES
I suspect many of Andrew Breitbart's friends thinking today about how they'll remember Andrew will picture him charging through the lobby of a hotel followed by opponents hoping to trip him up, supporters cheering on the confrontation, or journalists taking it all in. Some will recall seeing him give a speech to hundreds of conservative activists as he did in Michigan last Saturday. Many will remember having drinks or dinner or coffee with Andrew and a large group of people crowded around a tiny bar table or spilling out awkwardly into the aisles of a restaurant.
Andrew Breitbart
This is who he was and what he did. His influence on journalism is indisputable. He was the silent partner in the Drudge Report for a decade. He helped start the Huffington Post. He created Big Government and the associated "Big" websites. He advised the founders of the Daily Caller. He was a pioneer of the kind of "combat journalism" practiced by the new Washington Free Beacon.
Andrew didn't always get it right. None of us does. We had differences about a number of things, including the wisdom and utility of engaging political opponents willing to just make stuff up. Andrew thrived on confrontations and sought them out. He believed that someone had to fight the distortions and misrepresentations of the left, and that it was important to do it without the conventional politeness of those who use words like "distortions" and "misrepresentations" instead of "lies." He went after his opponents aggressively and made enemies. But he made just as many friends, including many who disagreed with him vehemently.
He brought together people who would have never met were it not for his insistence that they would get along or learn from each other. He was almost always right. And following the confirmation of his death this morning—after many minutes believing, hoping and praying that it was a big hoax—I thought of the many people I had met because of him.
John Wordin called early. He runs Ride 2 Recovery, a charity that helps soldiers recover from battle wounds, physical and mental. Andrew introduced us by email because of our common interest in those who fight our wars. Three weeks later I was on a 500-mile bike ride across Texas with several dozen soldiers and marines and, for one hilarious day at the end, Andrew himself.
Andrew wasn't exactly a natural cyclist. To the extent that he exercised at all, it was usually some kind of exercise that didn't require a ton of exertion. He knew—we all knew—that he was unlikely to finish the ride of some 70 miles, but he didn't much care. That night, we had one of those only-in-Breitbart-world dinners, spilling out of a booth at a Dallas steakhouse. Actress Kristy Swanson was there. So was Chad Fleming, a decorated special ops soldier. Andrew had brought Jon David, a former Stanford tennis player and songwriter who worked at the time under a pseudonym because of his conservative politics. There was a lawyer from Dallas and a friend. As usual, Andrew did most of the talking, flitting from subject to subject like a fruit fly jumps from banana to banana. There were snatches of conversation about reality television, nighttime raids in Iraq, the left-leaning bias of the mainstream media, our families.
The last subject was inescapable. Andrew had brought to Texas, and to dinner, Samson, the oldest of his four children, who was perhaps 10 years old. So we talked to Samson a bit about surfing and school and girls. He answered politely but I got the sense the adults were more interested in talking about those subjects than he was. He was content to sit and listen. He was just excited to be along with his dad.
Andrew and I talked about Samson, his siblings, and their mother at some length when I saw him at a Tea Party conference in Troy, Michigan, on Saturday afternoon. He'd just finished giving a highly entertaining and, as always, provocative speech to an appreciative crowd. (The ovations for Andrew were far louder than the ones for either of the two presidential candidates who would speak to the crowd that day.) We talked about his recent confrontation with an Occupy Wall Street crowd at CPAC and that fact that he decided to shave his beard because he thought he looked more slovenly with it than the protestors he was mocking.
On Saturday, Andrew was more contemplative than usual. He was concerned about being away from his family as much as his hectic schedule seemed to require. The blessing of a career like the one Andrew had is that he could make his own schedule. He traveled more than a father and husband with a typical 9-to-5 job, but when he was not on the road he often worked from home and got more family time than a normal job would provide. He told me again, as he had literally dozens of times earlier, what a saint his wife Susie was to put up with all of the complications that went along with being his spouse. The balance is difficult for anyone in our profession and Andrew wanted to be sure he was finding the right one. We had barely started that conversation when our pressing schedules made us end it, for good as it turns out.
Andrew brought Samson when he picked me up at LAX several years ago. I stayed at his house, as I did nearly every time I was in Los Angeles, and we woke early the next morning so that Andrew could host Dennis Miller's radio show. The show was disjointed, hilarious, scattered, irreverent, and fun—all Andrew.
Afterwards, we picked up a 30-pack of Miller Lite and a box full of L.A.'s legendary Zankou Chicken before returning to his house. The group there included, at various times, Dennis Miller's producer, Christian Bladt; Andrew's good friend and business partner, Larry Solov; a good friend from his high school, the liberal lawyer who lives across the street; and Michael Flaherty, the head of Walden Media, a film production company. Andrew gave us newcomers a tour of his house—the new sport court in the back for the kids, the multimedia set-up in virtually every room, the custom-made Starbucks bar he'd set up.
We stood around the island in his kitchen that afternoon for hours, talking about big questions—the American Revolution, classical liberal political philosophy, homosexuality and conservatism, preemptive war, and the meaning of life. Andrew led the conversation and asked most of the questions, using those of us who shared many of his views to take the arguments to those who did not.
But it was the end of the conversation that was the first thing I thought of when I finally understood that he had died. It was the first thing that Michael Flaherty, a friend Andrew's who became one of mine that day, remembered too:
"Fittingly, the last question was about heaven and the afterlife. On this one Andrew just sat back with a smile and listened to a lot of us talk about it from our different faith perspectives, particularly Buddhists and Christians, thrilled to hear different points of view. Little did we know when we wrapped up our conversation on heaven that day, that Andrew would be the first of us to get there and hear those words we all long to hear—'Well done good and faithful servant.'"

Cottonwood Mall was once a valley hot spot. Now, it is just a single department store in a big, empty field. All of that may soon change, though, because a new project is under way. The key component of that project: a grocery store.
A Smith's Food and Drug store may not seem like a weighty project, but it is feeding morale and a major development plan.
The development plan has been in the works since 2008. Ever since the original developers went bankrupt, that area's future has been up in the air.
"When I was running for mayor, by far, the number one issue our residents brought up is, 'When is the new Cottonwood Mall development going to start?'" said Dahle.
Now, private corporations are finally stepping on board. The new Smith's will be about 78,000 square feet and will employ more than 100 people.
"We signed a letter of intent with The Howard Hughes Corporation that we intend to build a store there…" said Marsha Gilford, a public affairs representative for Smith's. "It has been an area that we've been looking at for quite a while, and this just seemed to be the best location that we could choose.
That may sound surprising, given that nothing is really there yet, but eventually, the site will be home to offices, retail stores, and even more than 600 residential units.
"The grocery use was the key component that was really the major hold up with proceeding with the project," explained Dahle.
Some say they welcome the all the development.
"I think something should be done with that property, and I'm glad," said Katherine Bills, a
Others have their concerns.
"I've noticed, living here, that around every single corner, there's a new grocery store…Since there are a lot of malls in Salt Lake County, they should try harder for diversity," explained Sierra Bergmann, another resident.For now, contractors continue to plan and do not know when they will break ground. Smith's says they hope to have the store up and running by late-2016.

It's July 30th and Austin and I have been married for one year as of today. Things have been crazy the past two weeks. Getting Bryce settled in, Colleen and her crazy work schedule, our work schedule. We transferred Bryce over to Colleen's day care. On our anniversary we're helping Colleen plan Alyssa's first birthday. Abby was in town visiting Colie so she was coming to the party. Colie and them were coming to the party. Chase's mom has something to do with Alyssa so she's coming along with his sister. Jake and them, Connor is coming. He's going to college on August 5th though, which is three days after her first birthday party.
"Go out tonight. I will watch Bryce. You have watched Alyssa many times. They will be fine with me alone." Colleen said "Thank you. Austin should be please." I said and she smiled at me "Go get ready. Austin is home." Colleen said so I slowly waddled my way upstairs and I got dressed the best I could and then walked downstairs. "You two had it set up didn't you?" I asked and Colleen smiled "Maybe so." Colleen said "What are you doing tonight?" I asked "McDonald's. Bryce wants to go. Alyssa likes it." Colleen said and I smiled at her "You're the best little sister in the whole wide world." I said "Thanks. You two kids have fun. Be home whenever." Colleen said "Thanks sissy." I said and she smiled at me.
Austin opens the car door for me and I get into the car. He takes me to the place where he asked me to marry him at. "I love it." I said and he smiled at me "I figured we could use a break away from the kids." Austin said "You're right. Can you believe it has been a year?" I asked "It's hard to believe Lex. The best year of my life." Austin said "You're amazing. We have had our ups and downs, faced more than we should have but we're doing good." I said "I know Lex. Before long we will be holding our little one." Austin said "I know babe. I love Bryce though. He reminds me so much of you." I said "My mom tells me the same thing as well." Austin said and I smiled at Austin.
We finished our meals and went walking through the marina and sat down on the brick wall. "You look so beautiful Lexie. You are the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world." Austin said "Thanks baby. I love you." I said "I love you too." He said and I smiled at him "You make me feel like I'm the luckiest woman alive." I said "Thanks baby." Austin said and I smiled at him. Tonight has been amazing with my husband and only my husband.
Colleen's Pov:
So after I finally sweet talked Lexie into getting ready for her date with Austin. They have been married for a year today and Austin wanted to do something special for her. So I volunteered to watch Bryce tonight. Lexie helped me plan Alyssa's first birthday since I wanted her first birthday to be amazing because it really means a lot to me. After they leave for their date I get Bryce and Alyssa ready to go to McDonald's. When we arrive and I get Bryce his kid's meal and my meal and I had Alyssa on my hip as I filled our drinks. "Get the high chair for Aunt Coco please." I said "Okay." He said pushing it and I got Alyssa in it and took control over it. I pushed it to the playground area, after we ate dinner Bryce went to play on the playground with other kids. I'm playing with Alyssa and a cute boy walks out with two little kids. "Go play." He said and he looked my way and I smiled at him. "Hi." I said "Hi, you're Colleen right?" He asked "Yeah, and you're Nick?" I asked "Yeah." He said, he had dirty blonde hair and baby blue eyes. "Is that your daughter?" Nick asked me "Yeah, Alyssa." I said and he smiled at her.
I'm still bouncy Alyssa on my knee and Nick sits next to me on the bench. "Those are my niece and nephew. Not that I don't mind that you have a daughter." Nick said and I smiled "It's okay Nick. No need to explain." I said smiling at him and he smiled. "How old is Alyssa?" Nick asked "Almost a year old." I said and he smiled at me "She's adorable. Word was going around school.." Nick said "She's Chase's daughter. He just doesn't have anything to do with her." I said and Nick smiled at me. We got to talking and I found out a lot about Nick. Bryce walks over "Aunt Coco I'm tired." He said and I looked at my phone "It's nine o'clock." I said "Yeah. Can we go home?" Bryce asked "Sure." I said and Nick smiled "Put your number in my phone?" I asked and he did so and I put my number in his phone. I got Alyssa in her car seat and Bryce in his booster seat.
I made it home and placed Alyssa in her swing and I get Bryce to the bathroom. He goes and uses the bathroom pulls up his Spiderman underwear and I gave him his Scooby Doo's Pajamas and help him brush his teeth. I tuck him in bed and turn on his Scooby Doo's nightlight and then went to the living room. I fed Alyssa, gave her a quick bath, and put her to bed in her crib and she quickly fell asleep. I'm on the couch with my knees brought up to my chest and turn on The Notebook. I get a phone call "hello?" I asked "Hey is this Colleen?" Nick asked "Yeah it is." I said "Hey." He said "How are you?" I asked "good. Do you and Alyssa want to go out tomorrow?" Nick asked "Sure." I said "I will pick you up at four?" Nick said "Okay that's fine." I said smiling and we hung up.
I went to bed around eleven and woke up at eight to Alyssa babbling. "What is it sweetie?" I asked and she just blinked at me, holding her arms up for me to pick her up. "Let me go to the bathroom first baby." I said and she held out her arms for me. I quickly walk to the bathroom, and then went back to Alyssa. "Mommy is here now." I said and she held out her arms for me to pick her up. I place her on the changing table and change her diaper. I then place her on my hip and went downstairs. Lexie was up making breakfast and Austin was at the table with Bryce.
"Morning Colleen." Austin said "good morning." I said smiling and go the fridge. I get Alyssa's baby food and place her in her high chair. "I'm making oatmeal for her." Lexie said "Thanks Lexie. How did it go?" I asked "It went good. I had fun. Thanks again for watching Bryce." Lexie said "No problem Lex." I said sitting down and feeding Alyssa her baby food and then blowing on her oatmeal for her. After she ate I ate my breakfast giving her a piece of eggs that she chewed. I got her up and went to get dressed, I got dressed in shorts and a T-shirt and Alyssa in a cute outfit.
Lexie's Pov:
It's around three and Colleen is getting ready for her date and getting Alyssa ready. "What are you going to be doing?" Colleen asked me "Getting things ready for Kelsey." I said and she smiled at me "Have fun Colleen." I said and she smiled at me "Will do so." Colleen said and I smiled "I'm not looking to school." Colleen said "You will do fine." I said "Yeah, a junior in high school with a one year old." Colleen said "who may by then have a boyfriend." I said reminding her "It's our first date. "Colleen said and I smiled at her "I know that. I'm glad you're going out and that he wants Alyssa to go." I said.

Re: Pertwee was an even bigger badass than we thought
Ah, the Daily Mail. According to which, everything on the planet both cures cancer and gives you cancer. House price rises are disastrous (as your children won't be able to buy a home of their own), while house price falls are disastrous (you're worth less than you used to be!!!). And so on...
But to be fair, the Mail is only summarizing the second half of the DWM-printed interview, which Matt Adams did 16 years ago for a cult TV magazine he was trying to launch at the time.
"Some days are better than others. They say that where I come from."
"Loudly, I imagine, on the day you left."

Tommy Dod he was a sod,
His bum was made of clay,
He hid behind the donkeys cart,
And blew the wheel away.
The wheel went into the barbers shop,
And caught the barber on the chop.
The barber came out with a rusty gun,
And said "Now ye beggar ye got ta run!"

Restaurant tacks on 'minimum wage' fee to each customer's bill to illustrate higher labor costs
John Carlson tackles the story of a Minnesota restaurant that has instituted a $0.35 'minimum wage' fee on each customer receipt because of a $0.75 increase to the state minimum wage. Will Seattle and/or SeaTac restaurants start doing something similar to show patrons how the increased labor cost affects their meal tab when their respective wage increases are going up $5.68??

Samsung PRAM merges speed of RAM, permanence of flash
updated 02:20 pm EDT, Mon September 11, 2006
Samsung PRAM Flash Memory
Complementing its earlier announcement of exponentially improved flash capacities, Samsung on Monday announced the development of a new memory type that promises to eliminate many of the problems associated with both flash memory and RAM. Named Phase-change RAM, the technology offers transfer rates comparable to standard computer memory without losing the non-volatile quality of flash. This makes it a "perfect" form of RAM that would be ideal for handhelds and any other flash-based device that can benefit from the additional speed, says Samsung. The company also notes that PRAM should last ten times longer than current flash memory. The new storage medium is currently being demonstrated in 512 megabit (64MB) capacities and should reach the marketplace sometime in 2008.

December 1, 2015
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (AP) - Two executives with a Florida-based telemarketing company have admitted they sold bogus auto-service
warranties in a scheme federal prosecutors say garnered nearly $40
million from 15,000 customers over two years.
Forty-nine-year-old Christopher Cowart, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and 45-year-old Cris Sagnelli, of Boca Raton, Fla., pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court to a felony count of using a fictitious name as part of a mail-fraud scheme
Coward was president and Sagnelli vice president of a company called Transcontinental Warranty.
Prosecutors say the company perpetuated the scheme from June 2007 until a federal judge in Chicago ordered it to halt its use of deceptive "robo-calls" warning people their auto warranties were
expiring and offering to sell them new service plans.

Creating a Privacy Policy for Your Online Business
Comments welcome on this page. See Rules of Conduct.
Creating a Privacy Policy for Your Online Business
In the world of online business, privacy policies are a must. The increased frequency of identity theft, online fraud, and spamming all heighten customer insecurities when shopping online. A good privacy policy can be instrumental for business owners attempting to ease customer concerns and solidify their reputation as a trusted online retailer.
Online privacy policies differ from business to business. Information included in your privacy policy should be tailored to fit your business's individual needs, but there are a few key points that every business should remember. For an example, check out SBA.gov's Privacy Policy.
Describe how personal information is collected and used. Your online privacy policy should clearly tell your customers what they can expect from using your website and describe how their personal data is collected and used:
Many online businesses use cookies to store user preferences or shopping cart contents. Clarify your business's policy on using cookies - text stored on a users computer by a web browser in your privacy policy.
Share how personal information collected in any capacity will be used. Customers should know that their information will only be used to complete their transaction, and that any further contact or continued use of their information is voluntary. Customers should also have the option to not have their contact information sold or distributed.
Provide users with contact information in case they need further information or have a problem with privacy or security issues with your online business.
Privacy policies should be prominently displayed. If your privacy policy is hidden deep within your website, users may become suspicious of how secure the site is and leave to shop somewhere they trust. By conspicuously displaying your privacy policy, it shows customers that you take privacy and security seriously and your business has nothing to hide. Make sure to provide access to your policy in multiple areas including product pages, shopping cart, and at checkout.
Clarify your site's opt-out policies. Customers should have an opportunity to opt out of having their information distributed and all further business communications. Privacy policies should always make it easy for customers to receive the information they want and not receive any communication they do not want. If your business sends weekly electronic newsletters or emails with special offers, customers should clearly be given the choice to receive further communication or not. If they originally choose to receive a newsletter and later decide they no longer want to, they should easily be able to opt out at anytime.
Once you post a policy, stick to it. Posting a privacy policy gives customers a sense of security when using your site. If you are making constant and drastic changes to your policy, or not following at all, your business will lose credibility. Adherence to your privacy policy proves to customers that you take their personal information seriously. At the same time, technology changes rapidly and privacy policies should be updated regularly to account for the most accurate and current information. The date at which your site was last updated should be clearly stated on your privacy policy.
Consider obtaining a seal of approval. Reputable online businesses look for ways to validate their privacy and security practices. Commercial privacy service companies like TRUSTe can help you create a privacy policy or review one that you already have in place, and provide a seal of approval for qualifying websites. To maintain quality standards, the company will usually perform annual audits of your privacy policy. If you choose to obtain a seal of approval, there are usually associated fees.
For more information, check out the Federal Trade Commission's guide to Privacy Policies: Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say.

To be honest about everything, Jesus scares the crap out of me. I mean the main thing behind following Jesus is dying to myself and living the live that He calls me to. Dying to yourself is such a huge task. It means taking everything I have, everything I want in life, and scraping it all for the hopes of something better.
I have a dream life. We all do. I want to have a wife, kids, a dog, the works. What if Jesus wants me to be single? No kids, no dog, no home. no white picket fence. Shoot, maybe even no regular job. This seems like my life would almost be a failure, and it could, if God calls me to other things.
I think God calls people to make money (to spend for the purpose of others), to have wives, kids, and throw barbeques and the what not, and I would love that calling. In fact lately I've realized that I want these things so bad I haven't even been consulting God on whether he wants me to have them or not.
Following Jesus even gets scarier than not having the stuff you want. He can tell you to do things that would be considered freakin' nuts by others. What if God calls me to move to the projects in NYC and try to love gang members, but not just one gang, all the rival gangs. That's dangerous. One of my best friends is called to the Middle East to help the underground church there, where it is illegal to follow Jesus. That's nuts. But he trusts God's plan. I want to do that.
But I hold back. If I really wanted to seek God's will for my life it would be more than a passing thought. It would be consuming my mind, and my actions. I would pray a lot, fast a lot, talk to others, read the Bible and spend time listening, waiting for God to give me that bit of information. But I don't. I'm too scared.
What if I am called to death? Or to be tortured? Or to be homeless to love the homeless? Where did my American dream go? I guess that will have to die with me, because I am intent on letting Jesus live my life for me. He's better at it.

The IFC complex is an important building complex for tourists. This is because it has one of the plushest of Hong Kong's biggest malls and is the city's transportation center. These reasons and more make it a tourist highlight in Hong Kong.
The building is hard to miss. It is the second tallest in Hong Kong and guards the Victoria Harbor entrance together with its twin, the ICC Tower. The design scheme for the towers was to suggest two lighthouse towers at the approach.
It plays a prominent role in the Symphony of Lights display put on for tourists at the Avenue of Stars.
Many tourists love browsing through the cavernous mall and the adjacent MTR complex and finding boutique luxury brand stores, starred restaurants and coffee shops to relax in, and bookstores to browse in. The windows and open deck overlook Victoria Harbor.
It is basically the center of Hong Kong's CBD. It also is the transportation center for the whole city.
The IFC complex includes the four subway stations underneath, the mall area, the Four Seasons Hotel, and two office towers called IFC 1 and IFC 2.
It is very important commercially and for world finance for several reasons. It is Hong Kong's financial center and houses the Hong Kong Monetary Authority offices and major company offices. It is next to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Hong Kong is now ranked as the top financial center in the world, ahead of London and New York. The World Economic Forum ranked Hong Kong as the world's top financial center in 2011. As the world economy falters, and China's economy continues to grow quickly, so Hong Kong's lead may grow.
The IFC Tower and its complex is also a tourist attraction. The building, the adjacent mall under it, and the adjacent Four Seasons Hotel are designed for visitors and tourists. Tourists will be interested in seeing the view from the windows, eating at the starred restaurants, shopping in the IFC Mall, seeing its light display, and in staying at the Four Seasons.
There are several Michelin-starred restaurants in the IFC complex. The Four Seasons Hotel houses the 3-starred Caprice for French cuisine and Lung King Heen for Cantonese cuisine. At least according to the Michelin guide, these are the finest Cantonese and French restaurants in Hong Kong.
Getting ranked as 3 Michelin stars is an honor for a restaurant. There are only five 3-star restaurants in the whole of China, Hong Kong and Macau. The entire U.S. only has ten Michelin 3-star restaurants in the current review.
Lei Garden is a 1-Michelin-star restaurant. It is in the IFC Mall and has become well known around Central for its delicious food. They serve Chinese dishes including dim sum and seafood. There are long lines at lunch. It is located at 3007–3011 on the third floor.
The IFC Mall is often called the plushest mall in Hong Kong, so the prices are high. This makes it a shopping attraction for the wealthy people. But it is also an attraction for less wealthy tourists just wanting to relax or sightsee, since there are more economically-priced places to eat or get refreshments, such as the McDonalds or the Starbucks.
You'll probably see large crowds of foreigners and locals in the IFC Mall. This is because it is the main pedestrian thoroughfare in the area next to the ferry piers and over four MTR lines. Crowds pass through to get to work or go to other points in the city.
The Four Seasons Hotel is a large 60-story hotel. It is one of the biggest of Hong Kong's 35 or so five-star hotels. There are about 400 guest rooms and 500 apartments.
The hotel opened in 2005. One of the attractions for tourists is that it sits on the harbor front for excellent views. It also has the quickest access to the ferry piers and MTR of any hotel in Central.
There are two Michelin 3-star restaurants in the hotel (see above). This makes it unusual for any top luxury hotel in the world, and especially notable for tourists who want to have a luxurious and memorable meal in the complex.
On the 55th floor, there is a free museum and library sponsored by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. There are exhibits describing the development of banking and money in the area.
There are also good views from the windows. People can browse in the library that contains periodicals from central banks, economics books and journals, and the Monetary Authority's own publications.
However, rules for entry are stiffer than most museums. People may not be allowed in if there are too many visitors or for other reasons. Visitors must register and show an ID.
Another tourist highlight is that the IFC Tower participates in the Symphony of Lights. It is an evening light display that is put on daily if the weather isn't stormy. The Hong Kong light display is an achievement.
The IFC Tower joined the Symphony of Lights in May of 2004. It participates by waving laser lights.
Being at the center of the Central CBD gives business people working in the complex an advantage. Their offices are physically close to nearby government offices and other major office towers.
The complex also has the advantage of being the hub of one of the world's best transportation systems. Foreign business people often prefer to live in Discovery Bay or other islands away from the city, and being so close to the piers (about 300 meters) gives the complex a big advantage over other office locations.
Travel to Hong Kong International Airport and Disneyland is convenient because the special Airport Express MTR station is basically "in house" under the IFC Tower. It is on the 2nd level of Hong Kong Station.
It leaves frequently and whisks people to the airport in about 24 minutes.
Three regular MTR lines also meet under the complex. There are two regular stations: Hong Kong Station and Central Station.
There is a fast ferry service to Discovery Bay and Mui Wo on Lantau Island. Fast ferries also go to Cheung Chau Island and Lamma Island. Many expats live in these four places, and tourists like to visit them.
The Island Tram line is about a five minute walk via pedestrian overpasses from the IFC complex. It is a comparatively slow but inexpensive way to travel and see some of the island's sights. It is a tourist attraction.
The IFC Tower is owned by Sun Hung Kai Properties. The company has been leading innovators in building design and construction in the region. They constructed the ICC Tower, Park Island Apartments, Noah's Ark Theme Park, and numerous other projects. The IFC Tower complex was built between 1998 and 2005.
Tower 1, the shorter tower, was built in 1998 and opened in 1999. It is 39 stories tall and includes major businesses.
Tower 2 was completed in 2003. Major tenants are the Monetary Authority and Nomura International.
The Four Seasons Hotel was opened in 2005.
Until about 2011, it was generally considered to be in the top 10 of the world's tallest buildings. But there has been a recent flurry of skyscraper construction.

I know nothing.....
Ok so today was the first time I washed my Camaro.....it did not go well. I bought everything I thought I would need to hand wash it. I have never hand washed a car before so I tried to read up on it a bit.
First I hosed down the car to just remove any dirt that I could....didn't use any kind of sprayer.....just normal water hose stream.
Then I put a little big of Meguair's gold class car wash soap in a bucket and added water. I used a microfiber mit to wash the car. I washed it in sections so I could get that section dry before any water spots.
I rinsed off the soapy area and then attempted to dry it with a shammy (i'm sure this isnt' the correct spelling but it'll work). Ok so I had trouble with the shammy. I did wet it first and wring it out....then I place it on the car and pulled it towards me......lots of water was left behind...which quickly turned into water spots. I tried to wring out the shammy more and tried again...still streaks of water left behind. I finally got pissed and just used my microfiber towels to dry the car. I started from the very top and worked my way down.
I noticed a little scratch on her drivers side 'hip'.....i'm sure this scratch is my fault from my failed attempt at hand washing the car. :facepalm:
Does anyone have any advice for me? I'm so frustrated and I don't want to cause anymore damage. It's pretty obvious I do not know much about cars....I just know that I love them. I love the Camaro's sporty lines and the power of my V8 but beyond that i'm clueless. I really want to learn how to take care of my Camaro so it lives long beyond it's golden years....please help! :mad0259: :help:
I think you needed a more absorbent chamois (proper spelling ;)).
Well it's very hard to scratch your car by washing it especially when using microfiber towels and wash mits and sponges. You have to make sure there are no pieces of dirt or stuff on the sponge/mitt. Sometimes it may get in there, rarely, but it happens.
As per waterspots, you should have one of those detailer sprays like Turtle Wax Ice and etc. That will get out any streaks, dirt marks, and water marks.
I've had my car for about a month now and it still looks like I just got it from the dealer. :thumbup: I've only washed it twice since then, and have used showroom car dusters to get off pollen and dust off, and have used detailer sprays to get off dirt marks, dead bugs, bird crap, and water spots.
One final tip...
(There are some really useful threads if you do a search for car wash in this section for more info.)
But, for a "quickie" lesson, you should wash your car in the shade or away from the heat. Avoid washing the car when it is warm also.
Next, get yourself a "GOOD, QUALITY" drying microfiber towel made especially for drying off your car. A nice plush wash mitt should be used as well for applying the soap/water to your car. Mind you, these items will cost you some coin, but way worth it in the long run.
Hope this helps out a little bit.:headbang::drinking:
Is there a type of fliter you can connect to the hose you use to clean your car, to help with hard water spots, here in Tucson it can get pretty bad.
I think there is a filter, but not positive about that.
Op it takes a few times but u will get it down. Practice on a crappy car if u have one before going at it with your 40k camaro. Have your water tested see if thats part of the problem. Drying a car i use a electric leaf blower it removes 95% of the water then i go over it quickly with a microfiber drying towel. After that quick detail spray and your done car should look brand new. Good luck:)
You can always bring it down to my house one early morning weekend and i can give it the Zaino treatment.
I live near eastfield college.
God I hate that sham-wow guy. WTF does he have a head set on for?
Just click on the link and watch the videos on you computer.
You can use Meguiars Swirl X Swirl Remover with a foam applicator to remove that little scratch you got on your new ride. Make sure a little elbow grease is use to remove it. And this should help you out on washing your ride.
So Here's my take and I hope it helps some of you in maintaining your ride. You would be surprised how much good you can do your car's finish just by washing it. Aside from maintaining the oil and keeping a coat of wax or sealant on the surface, routine washing is the most beneficial treatment you can give your vehicle.
Armed with two bucket's with grit guards and hose, here are the proper steps to make car washing easier:
1. If possible, work in the shade, out of direct sunlight. Elevated paint temperatures cause the wash and rinse water to evaporate too quickly, increasing the likelihood of water spotting.
2. Start by preparing a bucket with clean water and wash the wheels first with a proper wheel wash and brushes too. This prevents you from splattering cleaners, dirt and brake dust on already cleaned panels.
In addition to oily, road grime, wheels get coated with black, metallic, dust particles every time you brake. Car wash shampoos alone may not have the power to remove this baked-on combination. Many inexpensive wheel cleaners use an acid or petroleum solvent to dissolve this bonded contamination but these cleaners can stain alloy and anodized wheels. I use a item that works great and safe for your rims (P21S Wheel Cleaner).
3. Pre-rinse the entire vehicle. This quick rinse removes surface dirt and lowers the paint's temperature.
4. Now prepare another bucket with your favorite car wash shampoo. I also place a Grit Guard in the bottom of my wash bucket. (You'll be amazed at what you'll find in the bottom of the bucket after washing!)
5. Wash the vehicle from the top down. I use either The Bone , a Microfiber Wash Pad or a sheepskin wash mitt.
6. Rinse often during washing. After washing a section (i.e. door, fender, hood, etc.) rinse completely to prevent soap films from drying on the finish.
Detailing Secret #2 - After washing the entire vehicle, do a final rinse with free-flowing water (nozzle off the hose). This sheets most of the water off the vehicle. Trust me on this. I know it takes a minute to take the nozzle off the hose and do this final rinse but it will allow you to dry your vehicle in a fraction of time you would normally require.
7. Dry the vehicle like you washed it, from the top down. I do the roof first, then all the windows, the hood and trunk and finish with the sides. I use a leaf blowner to speed the process and then a waffle weave drying towel to finish it off.
Hope this helps you all out.
Quick Question, did you wash the card in the shade or in direct sunlight..was the car sitting in direct sunlight before yo started washing it..a car should be cool to the touch before you wash it..And I take all of my cars to the car wash and have no problems..you just have to find the right car wash.
I laughed my a$$ off when my wife bought those things last month BEFORE I got my car... She just had to have them because she saw an add somewhere or maybe she has a thing for the ShamWow dude. :iono:
Anyway... I'm now using the crap out of them on my car. ShamWow in one hand and polishing towel in the other. Works like a champ...:thumbsup:
I still can't stand that ShamWow joker...:thumbdown:
hopefully moose see's this like... all the other threads about washing/waxing. i basically knew nothing about washing/waxing a car and PMed him with a question and he was really nice and VERY helpful!!!
thanks again moose!
Thanks everyone for your input/advice. I really, really appreciate it. I might go by to see Steve at Tropicare.....
Hey Julie -
It'll be fine...and you have a beautiful car no matter what. Go enjoy it !!! :)
I think i heard the ShamWow dude say people loved his nuts in a commercial.
Mr. Clean has a car wash kit that has water filters; it also has separate wash/rinse modes. Works OK, don't believe the hype though. It says "no need to dry," riiggghhht. But the rinse mode (which filters the water) does help spotting.
1 Attachment(s)
I think this thread has been successfully jacked...
I didn't go through all the replies, but you have to first pre rinse the chamois in warm to hot soapy water for about 3 minutes.
First get the chamois wet, then agitate in soapy water, then rinse.
There is oil in the chamois, thus the streaks.
I have never "pre-rinsed" a chamois in soapy water....no need....just regular straight out of the hose water.....get it very wet, then wring it out and use. And contrary to many beliefs, you can just toss a chamois in the washer and clean it up....works great.
As for car washes....touchless ones are okay, but, beware, the pressure from the sprayers may push water in around the window seals or the sunroof (if so equipped).
The biggest things to remember when washing your car
-Surface temp....if the car is sitting in the sun, make sure to rinse it off with cold water long enough to drop the temp of the car and work in sections.
-Wash mitt....rinse it out....get any grit that you may pick up along way out of the mitt.
-Don't let soapy water dry on the car....it's harder to get it off....
-If water does dry on the car and you catch it quickly enough, just use your damp chamois to wipe off the spots...next, some detailer spray, or even a small "spot wax" will work.
-The post that mentioned a "last rinse" with "free flowing" water....good advice....it does work wonders
-Finally....don't worry so much....almost everything you could do to your car while washing it can easily be fixed....I said almost....that doesn't mean you get to hit the car with the nozzle and just wipe it away....lol.
After washing and drying it, get it in the shade/garage for any detail work you will be doing.
