Looking to purchase! Need advice!!
Hey guys I'm new to the forum. I'm currently looking at several Escalades online
And trying to decide how to proceed. I looking to get out of my 03 Expedition, and have found several short and ESV's that interest me.
My main conundrum is about mileage. I'm looking at a 2004-2006 range, with mileage from 75k-177k miles and $12-18k price. There seems to be a great deal at
Cadillac of Knoxville. They have a 2005 ESV Platinum, with 177k miles. They have Serviced it for most of its life, and appears to be in great shape, tires, etc, and is
Priced under book at $12,900.
There are also a few locally near me that have lower miles, but don't have the
Service history, or have some aftermarket bits that I'm not too fond of.
My main concern is with buying a vehicle right at 100k that it will need quite a bit of maintenance, and that the higher miles may have already had the problem parts
Any thoughts? Would I take the risk of higher mileage, or stick with lower numbers and spend the extra initially in the purchase price? Thanks!!

Re: Looking to purchase! Need advice!!
Having just gone through this, I will give you my 2 cents...
- Front difs are a problem and seem to fail in the 80-100k mile range. Find one that has already been replaced.
- Gauge clusters are a problem on the earlier years. Again, find one that has already been replaced.
- The rear air shocks and or compressor are likely to fail around 80-100k miles. While not given, it is an expensive fix.
- The water pumps also are likely to fail in the 80-100k range. You can get a pump for well under $100 and they are easy to install if you can turn a wrench.
- Spark plugs need to be replaced @ 100k miles. Again, easy to do yourself if you are handy.
I shopped for months, but found a 2003 EXT with 90k miles in great condition for 13k. The gauge cluster and front dif had been done. As fate would have it, the water pump started weeping the second week I owned it. Had the pump shipped to the house from RockAuto and it took less than two hours to install... The airshocks leak and need to be replaced ($425 just for the two shocks) but I used this to get the price down. I would think that a car with 177k miles is going to have more expensive stuff start to wear out versus the stuff above, but that is just my opinion.... Good luck in the search.

thanks for the info!
Re: Looking to purchase! Need advice!!
How many miles do you have on it now? according to the guy at the dealership I spoke with today, they
just put brand new tires on it, a water pump, axle and wheel bearings, and something else i believe. What
really attracts me to it is the service history. Have any issues appeared from yours? Jarnigan Ford near
Morristown has a nice one, and also found one in Raleigh. 04 ESV, 105k, for $12,900.

The odd thing was that the first owner was a rental place up in Kentucky same with the second owner and I am the third owner
As far as the service history have a gm dealer run the service history(they can do this with the vin) I did this on mine as soon as I got it(mainly to make sure the carfax was correct which it was)
By what you have told me it seems as most the major issues have been took care of so it sounds like it has been well kept up
What I suggest is ask to take it on a test drive(to see how it does(no messages or lights see note below) while you are on the test drive go to a gm dealer and have them pull the service history and (if) the ford dealer provides a carfax this will help you to make sure it checks out also while you are on the test drive(if you can) take a look under the hood and check out stuff under there(eg hoses belts and battery FYI most people put a smaller battery in before they trade them in(mine had too small of a battery for the load the truck demanded a 1000ca battery is best)
The resion I suggest going for a test drive is when I did in mine the service ride control message popped up on the drivers information screen(in the odometer below the speedometer) and I used that to get some (500 to be exact) knocked off the price(after downpayment I was out the door at 10,099 asking price was 13,599)
I hit 158.000 (roughly) miles and just changed the spark plugs and it does help(use gm plugs as they last longer) I noticed a improvement in response plus it glides down the road(it feels like your floating on air) I have made many trips to the smokies and to Jamestown (family)and I get amount 16.7 average mpg
If you need to know anymore and sorry if it sounds like I am rattling on but it's best to be informed then not and have gave some good advice also a few helpful tips
(Side note I also have service manuals and wiring diagrams for the escalade)
Re: Looking to purchase! Need advice!!
gamble on the high mileage 177k one. Otherwise it seems like such a great deal at a good price. I spoke
cadillac of Knoxville today and he is suppose to be researching more of the history and getting back with
me. I don't want to jump too fast without researching all my options. I drove an Escalade locally that was
severely overpriced, but had been purchased new by the used dealer's owner, and the ride control message was showing on the screen. Does that mean a full compressor in your case? Thanks again for the info.
Much appreciated.

Re: Looking to purchase! Need advice!!
I will chime in as well, since I had purchased a high miler as well. We purchased our Platinum with 122,000 on the clock, we know are closing in on 170k 2 years later. We (the wife and I) are the 3rd owners.
Beware that there is the 100,000 mile maintenace service schedule 1 due at that mileage. Which has fluids drained and filled, plugs, main serpentine belt and a few other things involved. IIRC the bill came to about $2,200.00 which the PO had taken care off at the local dealer where the vehicle had rolled out of in 2005.
I have every receipt since day one. Other than the routine oil changes there were not many. A rear brake light bulb ($90.00), 3 wiper blades ($140.00) and a new cigar lighter. All service from the 2 POs were done at the Cadillac dealer here in town.
Since our ownership other than a new set of Michelins, I have replaced the following:
Rear air compressor
Rear shocks
Lucas in diffs
Driver front wheel bearing
Steering wheel control light bulbs
Gauge stepper motors
Front and Rear ceramic pads
and most recently
Water pump
Idler pulley (my choice)
Tensioner pulley (my choice)
AC serpentine belt (seperate from the main serpentine)
If you can DIY (as I do) you will save big bucks. I was very leery about purchasing a high miler, but we very happy with this vehicle and would do it all over again. I should state that we found ourselves like you, a couple of lower mileage vehicles with some receipts if any or this local, southern -zero- salt, every receipt, well maintained 120k (at the time).
Good luck

The service ride control message does mean that the shock compressor(the active shock damping system goes into passive mode)has thrown a code(you can use this to chew down the price)
I know its a gamble on the mileage but I have seen some with a lot more mileage(which most people without the knowledge of gm's rock solid power trains tend to pass up) but I have took a gamble on two(99 Chrysler Concorde 105,000 miles and of course my truck) the truck has been the better deal for me(due to the all wheel drive)
The main thing is getting the best deal
Re: Looking to purchase! Need advice!!
My ESV had about 111k when I bought it at $15k last year....With about 125k on it now and with a few minor issues (see post on beeping noise) we love it...I replaced all fluids with AMSOIL after purchase and new rear air shocks and compressor from ARNOTT. I also pull a 36 foot travel trailer and it hauls/rides better than my E350 I had been using.

Re: Looking to purchase! Need advice!!
I bought my '03 earlier this year with 175k on it, zero service records, and a bit of obvious neglect. I only considered it because I got a good price on it (~6k) and I do my own work. Right off the bat I had to replace:
Rear air compressor
Rear air shocks (did front as well)
Front wheel bearing
Driver's seat cushion
One URPA sensor
All four tires
Drain / fill F+R diffs, transmission, transfer case with Amsoil
Voluntary mods / improvements I've made (there are a few) aren't included in the list. Still need to change spark plugs and wires, fix the A/C, and do some other little things I ran out of time for last summer, but it runs rock solid now. I've taken it on several long road trips so far, and it has never skipped a beat.

Re: Looking to purchase! Need advice!!
bought my 04 with 140000 and all the above mentioned common problems had been fixed or I did them right away plus I had to do a cat converter
i'm happy considering the price and the vehicle's great ride and comfort my only gripe with high mileage is little things like worn control buttons does anyone know a source for decals?
also i hear a sound like a shock compressor running I only hear this in cold weather at start up - can't trace it down front and rear pumps are ok is there a compressor in driver's seat for lumbar or something like that I could be hearing?

Re: Looking to purchase! Need advice!!
My 2004 ESV has 139,000 miles on it and has only needed a rear air compressor for the shock system ($850 to have the dealer do it.). I love my ESV.

Windshield keeps cracking
Hey All.. I have a 06 Wrangler Se that seems to be having a windshield issue. I've replaced 3 windshields in the past month an a half but to sever cracking which i think is due to the defroster. The cracks start off at the base of the windshield and work their way straight up. This has happened each an everytime with the defroster on. They start alil right of center also which has happened every single time. Has anyone else had this issue?? any advise would be appreciated
The defroster will do it, but usually only if a chip or crack is existing. The rapid change in temp is what does it. Your wind shield frame may be bent or putting pressure on the glass at the point where the the crack starts.
do you have any pictures of this? sometimes seeing it can give use a better idea. has the same place replaced the windshield all three times? does the windshield seem to be crooked at all? that could be putting stress on the glass in that spot and when the heat hits the cold glass it cracks it.
i had this happen ...its your guy who installed it while installing it he chipped the edge of the glass ...try someone else next time
Take a tape measure and check your windshield frame distance from main rollbar hoop or similar. mine is slightly crooked, was worse but i have it close enough till I install the new frame and windshield. has 2 stone chips and hasn't cracked yet thru michigan winters.
If it seems good then I would think it was an install problem.

I use Remington Golden Sabers for my .38 SD carry rounds. Not having won the lottery, it's not a round that I practice with frequently for my range time. Ideally I would practice all the time with my same carry round.
Now, I can buy 38 Special +P UMC Jacketed Hollow Point 125 Grain 945 fps for about 15 bucks for a box of 50. The Golden Sabers run about 24 bucks for a box of 25. That's about 3X cost. The Golden Sabers are about 975 fps. Yes, different bullet design, and different terminal ballistics, but for practice the rounds are pretty much the same for point of impact from what I have seen at the range.
My question is are the terminal ballistics of the "designer" rounds that much better than the old fashioned stuff? The old FBI loads are about as low tech as you can get but they have a proven track record. And I've probably shot 1500+ of these UMC's and not one has failed to go bang. So, I have to ask - are the "designer" rounds really worth the 3X in price?
Seriously, I'm feeling a bit ignorant, because the conventional wisdom is to carry with the fancy and practice with the cheap. But does the performance of these bullets really warrant 3x cost, or are we just buying these because if our life depends on it, we want something with the best terminal ballistics? The only reasons I can think of:
1) better terminal ballistics;
2) lower "flash" (maybe) to decrease blindness in dark settings.
Is that it? I'm not taking issue with the conventional wisdom, I just want to make sure I understand all factors.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX falls to nearly 4-week low as oil, gold slide
(Adds analyst quotes, updates prices)
* TSX closed down 137.63 points, or 1 percent, at 13,563.84
* Eight of the TSX's 10 main groups ended lower
By Fergal Smith
TORONTO, May 9 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell to a nearly four-week low on Monday as lower commodity prices weighed on energy and mining stocks, while financials also fell.
The index has fallen 2.9 percent from a recent six-month high of 13,972.62, pressured by a weakening in commodity prices and a wildfire that led to production cuts in Canada's oil sands region.
"That commodity related energy trade that's had a pretty good couple of months there, has faded here in the last couple of weeks," said Paul Hand, managing director at RBC Capital Markets.
The most influential movers on the index on Monday included Barrick Gold Corp, which fell 5.5 percent to C$22.52, and Goldcorp Inc, which declined 4.6 percent to C$23.65. Continued...

Being a blogger can be somewhat of a lonely proposition. You do your work behind a computer and engage in a reality devoid from physical contact with the people you interact with on a regular basis.
If there's one thing I recommend to anyone engaged in a virtual venture, it's to seek out and join online groups with people who are in your same boat. Knowing you're not alone and there are others who understand you makes all the difference, because some times our "real life" friends and family have no idea what we're talking about! I am a member of the Beauty Blog Coalition, a group of lovely bloggers who are my support system and have gotten me through many a crashed website and other back office blogging woes.
Lately we've been talking about Pinterest, and how this fairly new technology has made it easier than ever to make some of our early blog posts visible to the world. In many cases, these aren't photos we're particularly proud of and of course there are inevitable rude comments that follow. Many of my fellow beauty bloggers (self included) wish we could erase certain parts of the blog that reflect our inexperience, but keeping the not so shiny parts of our work is important in many ways.
For instance, what the WHAT was I thinking using a bamboo place mat or my kitchen table as a backdrop? My often dirty kitchen table, mind you?
Year 1:
And now:
Faith, trust, and time heal all wounds and today I am truly restored, renewed and appreciate the journey it took to get to this state. If you're trying to start a project that seems like it will never get started? Keep on keeping on. If you're overwhelmed, unsure, uncertain and plagued with doubt? Don't listen to your fears and keep on keeping on.
You know what my answer is? Keep on keeping on! If you feel in your heart that what you're doing is what you're meant to be doing … Keep on keeping on!
And I promise you…. you'll come out on the other side more than just fine. 🙂

Gigidy Gigidy!!!
In my pocket or on my hip. Today in my pocket.....working at a no carry place today.
Sent from my DROID RAZR
It`s 9:30PM,I`m on the computer and it`s on my hip..where it lives,cocked & Locked.
Very small apartment. G30 in the couch (while in the living room, i am most likely to be there). G19 in the Kitchen, near the sink (will most likely be there if I'm in the kitchen. Which is part of the living room) G27 on the nightstand (because everything done in the bedroom is done on or near the bed).
I figure that if someone rushes in, and doesn't fumble with the door, giving me the time to react and move to another room, I have access to a firearm in every part of the apartment.
I consider myself very prepared and I live in what has to be one of the safest neighborhoods I have ever seen. Thats the point of being prepared though. Anything can happen, at any time, in any place. if you carry/own for defense, I consider it irresponsible to not be prepared for what you think may never happen.
Its not that I sit and think about it. I don't jump up with my gun every time I hear a bump or someone knocks at the door. But understanding that anything is possible and being prepared for it, no matter where you live, gives you better chances than keeping a defensive gun locked in the closet. Of course, this comes from someone with no children. In that case the only unlocked gun would be on my person at all times. Or otherwise locked safely away from snooping little fingers.
Watching playoffs with family. G19 on right hip. Goes in quick open safe on dresser when I go to bed.
Well, it's now 3:13 a.m., just walked the dog, gun is in Pure Kustom Black Ops Pro on my right side where it is whenever I am not in bed.
Watching the rain out the window as I type, my Glock 23 is on the coffee table, but my wife has her M&P right next to her as she reads.
I am very secure though because the 25mm's mounted in the roof turrets are in auto-track mode.:gah:

Davis Plans to Ban Businesses from Using Plastic Bags
DAVIS, Calif. -- Paper, or plastic? In another year, that may not even be a question in Davis. The City Council has voted to draft an ordinance that would ban single-use plastic bags by July of 2014 and impose a 10 cent charge for re-usable ones offered in stores.
The ban would be imposed on hundreds of retail outlets across the city in an effort to cut down on waste and clean-up expenses.
While the Chamber of Commerce opposed the idea, some businesses have been going without plastic voluntarily for years.
More than 80 cities and counties across the state have adopted some type of regulation of plastic bags.

These plates are so cute. Very steardy too. I used them for my wedding placing M&Ms in them at our cookie table. Highly recommended.

These plates are wonderful. Even better prettier in person versus the picture. I can hardly wait to use them at my wedding reception.
|by springsandra
|Date Added: Tuesday 30 June, 2009
I bought these plates to use on our cake table at our wedding as an alternative to spelling out "I Do" or "Love" in regular letters. The plates are beautiful, solid ceramic. They are smaller than they appear in the pictures, though. The L, for example, measures about 4.5 inches across. M&Ms or peanuts would fit fine in them, but they are more for show than function. That being said, they are perfect for a little detail touch when entertaining!

What do you do when you see a farmer with stock on the road? Do you slow down or stop? Do you offer to help? Or do you plant foot and try to get past those annoying smelly animals and the red-neck in the funny hat as fast as you can?
I love cows so I think it's cute when I have to drive past some at close range. I can have a good look at them and they make me laugh because there are always some good ones going the correct way and some stupid ones at the back that you just know are going to be troublesome for the poor sucker who's moving them.
Farmers using the road has suddenly become an issue for me as I have signed a four-year lease on a property which involves crossing a reasonably busy road at least twice a day – every day. That is really a two- or three-man job but, as usual, it's just me, so I have to find a way of doing that crossing safely and with the least disruption.
Thankfully, all the locals are au fait with this crossing as it has been that way for the past 40 years (although I expect the road is busier now than it has been).
Like everything, contemplating the road crossing was more stressful than actually doing it. I went off to RD1 and purchased flashing lights, batteries and three "cattle crossing" signs. Yes, three because, as luck would have it, my crossing is not straightforward, but complicated, involving a major junction (Wainui) which offers an alternative escape route for cows that do not want to toe the line.
The preparation routine for the road crossing is a little time consuming as all the safety warning equipment must be fetched and set up in advance and, once the lights are flashing, off I go to get the cows. I can only imagine what the residents of Ahipara think when they see those lights flashing: "I'm going to get caught up in those bloody cows again!"
The first attempt at crossing was with 70 yearlings which was a delicate operation. Calves are nervous little things and, as soon as they hear the sound of their hooves clattering on the hard road, they are liable to panic. My heart was in my mouth as I prayed that it would go well. All the cars duly slowed down and there was a small queue of traffic on either side of the calves who were crossing the road in a delightful manner. I was just breathing a sigh of relief when a driver whom I will call "RSOM" (Ridiculous Stupid Old Man) came to the stop sign at the junction. If he had waited for one minute, probably less, I would have been OK but, no, RSOM decided to drive, albeit slowly, right through the middle. Needless to say that was the last straw for the calves and they scattered in 70 different directions.
I couldn't even look at the silly old coot who nonchalantly drove away leaving me in disarray. I don't expect people to help me – after all it's just me doing my job in a situation that I have chosen, but it is amusing to see everyone sitting in their cars just staring at the chaos. Eventually I sorted it all out.
Thankfully, the milkers are being good, apart from the first time they crossed. Now they know what to do and ignore all the possible escape routes and head directly to the track. Phew.

Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
Review of 1ShoppingCart.com Shopping Cart/Online Marketing System
1ShoppingCart Online Shopping Cart, Email Autoresponder, Affiliate Manager and more.
Name: 1ShoppingCart/Marketer's Choice
URL: www.1shoppingcart.com
Purpose: Shopping Cart, Email Autoresponding, List Management, Affiliate Management
Let me start out by saying I was very excited when I first started my 30 day free trial of 1ShoppingCart. I logged in and was blown away with the potential – the possibilities – my young Internet marketer's brain started churning away thinking about the products I could launch and all the cool things I could do to market them, all through 1ShoppingCart.
The problem at the time, is that I didn't have any of my own products to sell! However I signed up for 1ShoppingCart because I was looking for an email autoresponder to start managing my business client lists with and I figured since my path was taking me down the Internet marketers road then no doubt I would make use of the rest of the 1ShoppingCart features eventually.
Okay, let's cut to the chase – what can you actually do with 1ShoppingCart?
Online Commerce
First, the obvious – it's a Shopping Cart – which means you can set up products for sale and copy and paste forms into your website to set up a fully functional ecommerce system. 1ShoppingCart works with a whole range of payment processing providers including the ever popular Paypal and 2Checkout, so you shouldn't have too much difficulty setting things up to start taking orders.
The actual shopping cart module in 1ShoppingCart is quite robust and you can stipulate all the tiny details about your products, including shipping, taxes, recurring payments, commissions for affiliates, landing page, thank you page – everything! I feel comfortable telling you that almost any product will work fine with 1ShoppingCart.
There is a learning curve though and I was certainly intimidated initially looking at all the customization options, but the 1ShoppingCart team provide a ton of help files and videos. It's all very intuitive and after the initial set-up and I doubt you will need to make very many changes again.
Client Management
1ShoppingCart is not a CRM system but it does have a fairly standard client database management system. You can see which autoresponder clients are on, search the database by different fields, import and export client lists and all the rudimentary features you would expect. It's not exactly a relational database, so beyond seeing which autoresponder clients are on you won't be able to do much analyses, but it does the job well enough for a small online business.
Email Autoresponder
1ShoppingCart has a very good email autoresponder. This is the main module I made use of until I switched to AWeber. I switched because I only needed the email autoresponder module and I was paying a high monthly fee with 1ShoppingCart for all the additional features, which I didn't make use of. AWeber offered a specialized email autoresponder service at less than half of what I was paying for 1ShoppingCart. As I have stated previously, if you just want an email autoresponder, go with AWeber or GetResponse.
The 1ShoppingCart autoresponder is a little bit clunky compared to the dedicated email autoresponder providers I have used but it's not really a fair comparison since 1SoppingCart isn't *just* an autoresponder. The fact that you can plug it straight into the shopping cart and affiliate management system is fantastic. If you plan to need all these features I would strongly recommend choosing 1ShoppingCart.
As I have recently discovered it's damn hard to integrate different third party providers if you want to have different companies handle your email autoresponder, shopping cart and affiliate system – at the moment it's not really possible at any price even close to what 1ShoppingCart charges.
The 1ShoppingCart email autoresponder will do exactly what all good autoresponders do. You can set up a sequence of emails to go out at set time intervals. You can automatically move clients from one autoresponder to the next as they take different actions, for example from the "prospects" email list to the "clients" email list once they make a purchase.
Top Internet marketers have been using the 1ShoppingCart email autoresponder for many years. That was the original reason I chose 1ShoppingCart. When I saw at the end of emails from Alex Mandosian and Perry Marshall that they were using using 1ShoppingCart – that was all the recommendation I needed.
Affiliate Management
Here is one of the areas 1ShoppingCart really excels. The affiliate module, while once again a bit daunting at first to comes to grips with, provides a powerful suite of options that even a single individual can make use of to manage their entire affiliate system. I know many online marketers, including Andy Wibbels, Joel Comm and Brad Fallon, who use the system to affiliate sell their products. In fact many of the affiliate promotions I run through this blog go through 1ShoppingCart.
In a nutshell the affiliate module allows you to take on affiliates, manage them, and set up promotional tools for them to use to promote your products. You can set up banners, text links and the usual range of affiliate resources. You can also customize the look and feel of the affiliate area and brand it with your own custom logo in the header.
For me the best feature of the affiliate program is the fact that you can integrate it with the autoresponder module. That means that you can seamlessly use your affiliates to build your email lists, pay them commissions on sales and keep everything all in one place in a nice and tidy interface. There aren't many other services out there that can boast this feature at the price 1ShoppingCart charges.
I've covered the main features and now I'll just briefly mention what else 1ShoppingCart can do. It has a solid ad tracking system which you can use to track and test any online advertising campaigns using media such as text links and banners. It has a custom form builder which you can use to create the input forms for your customers and email list subscribers to join or purchase from. There is also a pop-up generator which you can use to have an input form pop-up on your website.
Most of these features are available in other places, for example Google has a fairly reasonable ad tracker in it's Google AdWords program, which is handy because you can use it alongside your AdWords PPC campaigns to test PPC against other online advertising media. The thing with 1ShoppingCart is once again, it's all integrated in the one place, so when you combine ad tracking with email autoresponders and affiliate promotions you have a pretty powerful set of tools for optimizing your online sales process.
The only problem with 1ShoppingCart is that it does a lot. It's a complex system that requires some learning to get the most out of, but as I stated there are plenty of help files and audio and video teaching tools too.
One potential risk with a "jack-of-all-trades" service like 1ShoppingCart is that the individual modules may fall behind in overall features and quality when compared to specialist providers, which is the argument you could use when comparing the AWeber email autoresponder to 1ShoppingCart. However the gap is not that big and if you do want the extra features 1ShoppingCart wins hands down.
And herein lies the true strength of 1ShoppingCart… There is no other completely integrated set of tools like it for the online marketer, at this price. It really is the "marketer's choice" when it comes to selling goods online. If you know how to make use of all the bells and whistles, you actually have a need for all the bells and whistles or you plan to in the near future, it is actually mind-boggling to think about how truly powerful 1ShoppingCart is.
That being said – for me, it's too much so I don't need to spend the monthly fee for all those bells and whistles. If you are in the same situation and you really only need a shopping cart or perhaps an autoresponder there may be cheaper alternatives. However if you plan to grow, which I am sure you do, and no doubt will eventually need an affiliate module, ad tracking and all the other features, perhaps starting out day one with 1ShoppingCart will save you from the pain and anguish if you have to later move your email lists and client database into 1ShoppingCart.
The best thing about 1ShoppingCart is that you can try it for a 30 trial period so you can make the choice whether it is right for you after actually playing with it. You can sign up right now from here – www.1shoppingcart.com.
I hope that helps with your decision making and good luck with your online business.

Hi Yaro,
It's funny you should do a review of 1shoppingcart.com. I too signed up for an account with them a few weeks ago and have been extremely pleased. The platform is extremely configurable and simple to use. Like you, I was looking for an autoresponder for my lists and have found it to work well. The ability to process sales has been useful too. I'm still playing around with things, but I really like the feature that allows me to have 1shoppingcart.com host my downloadable files. The one issue I have so far is that uploading files larger than 7 megs is not supported. But otherwise it's a great processing and autoresponder management platform.
Hi John – That's a good point I didn't mention. 1ShoppingCart does have a built-in digital download deliver which is ideal for selling ebooks etc since it creates a temporary download link after buying so you don't have to worry about delivery of your info products.
Just wanted to say this is a great write up on our services at 1ShoppingCart and we appreciate the exposure and the kind words 🙂
Also, a follow up to John Peck:
While it is true we don't SUPPORT digital files over 7 megs, there is little stopping you from actually uploading files that are much larger.
One of the main reasons we don't support anything above 7 megs is that there are still so many people on dial up connections out there, and we can't guarantee that your 30 meg teleseminar MP3 (or whatever the digital file happens to be) can actually be downloaded by those people.
Again Yaro, thanks for the article! and keep up the great work on your Blog, I have been checking in regularly for a long time now 🙂
Michael Valiant
No worries Michael, thank you for dropping by.
I have had a nightmare with 1 Shopping Cart. They don't have good customer support and have frequent system bugs. I use it HEAVILY for downloadables that we sell and various other products and my experience has been disappointing.
Also, beware the trial period because by the time you get your cart hooked into your website, you're kind of hooked in. It's a pain to then have to transfer to another cart which is probably what they're counting on.
One of the worst things is that you can't add clients manually. Try to add over 10 and they flag you as possible spam sender. I have had countless people sign up in writing and we can't really transfer them into the cart unless we use third party software which is what they want from us and then import the file. Who has time to get the software, learn how to use it and then learn to import when you should be able to simply add in clients as you go, which is something they would seem to provide for — as long as you don't add more than 10 a day.
Their software has crashed on me at least 50 times in the past two days. I don't have time for it and really can't wait to find another cart. And for this, I pay about $80 a month. Not a good experience.
Kathryn, I couldn't agree more! What a PAIN in the butt it has become getting KICKED OUT all the time, smack in the middle of writing my broadcasts!!! First when it started kicking people back to the login screen they made the "improvement", after MANY user requests including mine, to make the broadcast screen auto-save periodically. I can only imagine how many people besides me called them freaking out about losing literally HOURS worth of copy writing over time!
The tech support guys (which, by the way, I still think are excellent – but they can only work with the system given to them, right?) initially said "just Save the Draft once, and it will auto-save it for you every minute (or two? I don't recall exactly)." That is clearly NOT happening, and NOW they say, "Well, it logs you out when it does not detect activity for 15 minutes."
I'm sorry, but if I am actively TYPING into that screen, that qualifies as activity! "But the system has no way of knowing you are typing – you have to Save, or move between different 1SC windows, for it to qualify as activity." REALLY? I point out that there are applications, such as Chat which has been around forever, that can detect when someone on the other end is typing. "Well, that's a whole different system." Dude, code is code! I'm quite sure the 1SC coding team could add that functionality, or a POP-UP warning that says "Hey, we don't detect any activity – if you're still there, Save or move between windows soon, otherwise in one minute you will be logged out." Or put that warning in big red type at the top of the Broadcast window – I mean, for crying out loud, give your users a fighting chance, man!
That is ALSO quite common in other systems.
I also HATE the new multi-window process for writing broadcasts – a big step backward, IMHO. Why do the coders at 1SC still seem to be in the dark ages when it comes to understanding and satisfying the actual, day-to-day needs of the business people using their system?
I'm going to start writing all my broadcasts in Word (God forbid) FIRST, then copying them in, out of self-defense!
Oh, and Tech Support should STOP making the suggestion that I waste even MORE time going to their "ideas.1shoppingcart.com" site to request the REPAIR that they should be discovering on their own through adequate TESTING by someone who understands running an online business.
I have been using 1SC for years – I'm even an affiliate because I think the system design is very good for the price. But lately the Broadcast page has been kicking me out in the middle of typing my emails, and they've been making "improvements" that in my opinion are making it cumbersome and a PIA to use.

Great review on the 1shoppingcart.com!
It'll help online marketers like me make good and worth it choices. Especially that a good shopping cart system helps a leg up in business.
Thanks for the review. I have been trying to figure out whether to choose Aweber or 1shoppingcart for my auto responder. Still not sure, but this review gave me some things to think over.
I appreciated your review of 1ShoppingCart.com, but after using their product for some months I'm disappointed overall.
I needed a basic shopping cart for a client, Whittingham Meats (www.rwhittinghammeats.com), nothing more. Here's a list of the obstacles I faced.
– Category and product pages aren't built for you. You need to maintain your own pages, populating your own database/file separate from the one you need to populate on their server. You keep them in synch yourself.
– Gift certificates aren't really supported. You can sell them, as though they were ordinary products, but your customers can't redeem them through the shopping cart. They're not tracked separately either.
– Customers choosing PayPal are forced to enter their billing address. This defeats one of the major reasons customers use PayPal, to avoid entering the billing address and billing details every time they shop.
– Until recently, technical support did not have a toll-free number.
– What may be worst is the attitude of their customer service people. No sense of concern. I had to live with what they offered, good or bad.
It'll help online marketers like me make good and worth it choices. Especially that a good shopping cart system helps a leg up in business.
Thanks for the article, Yaro.
Unfortunately, 1shoppingcart is not going to work for me. I need to be able to download an entire video over 150mb. And I also am concerned by some of the other comments I have read here.
Glad I saw this.
Well, I had a crappy time with 1shoppingcart.com it should be 1shoppingcrap.com. They claim they are Intergrated with UPS. That is BS. First of all they will not let you ship cart orders over 150lb. Now I know your thinking well UPS will not let you ship packages over 150lbs. This is different than what Im talking about.
UPS will ship 10 boxes at 40lbs each = 400lb shippment. 1shoppingcrap.com will not and they do not tell you that, truth be told they are not completly intergrated. If they were you would not have a problem shipping a total shipment of 400lb (10 box @ 40lb each).
So, to make a long story short. I belive this is false advertising. Dont claim to be something your not. Tell me up front, maybe I would have not lost $4,000 in set up of a .com only to miss the launch date due to there BS. Then after explaining what happen….they did not want to hear it. USE SHOPSITE. New cart no problems.
Just signed up a few days ago..it was time consuming because have a site with citymax whos shopping cart always crashes and empties. marketers choice shopping cart saved my life – and my customers are lovin it. Gonna upgrade to pro to take advantage of getting an affiliate program in one. and theres no contract so you can downgrade or upgrade anytime. Thanx for your comment about the company and your honesty…u got a supporter here;)
Thanks for the article it helped me make a decision to use aweber for my auto responder. I currently use constant contact but seems limited or I just havent figured out how to make more than one opt in form that redirects to a new page. but I did sign up for e-junkie a couple of days ago for the shopping cart and paypal processing and digital delivery they offer. they also handle your affiliates ect. kicks ass and all for $5 a month! for that you get to have 10 products and up to 50MB total for the files you upload. I am really loving it and when someone pays with paypal they can either log in and bypass the address stuff or put in the address if they dont have a paypal account. I know they support a few other payment systems too. They have other plans and I chose the $10 a month so I can have 100MB of files on there.
Dr Dan
I would like to leave my 2c worth, I started with 1ShoppingCart.com in August 2008, there were a few hurdles to start off with, but this is part of the learning curve. After about 8 weeks I now am loving the website.
I has increased my sales with he upsell features, and now I am working on using the email marketing portion on the website. Thank you 1shoppingcart for the shove in the right direction.
Rhys C0mley
We have been a longtime customer (i.e., years!) of 1shoppingcart.com and have experienced the continual decline in service as a result of what 1shoppingcart.com calls "improvements"
Previously to get orders all we had to do was go to the order page, check the orders we want, change screens, the selected orders showed up in a special window, high-light the orders and paste into a Word file and save.
BUT NOW in the last few days 1shoppingcart.com changed the order retrieval process in such a way that it is now labor intensive and orders can no longer be retrieved quickly. In the new, supposedly "improved" process, we must check orders we want, then leave the site and WAIT as the orders go into a cue, and then WAIT to receive an email link. When the email FINALLY arrives, we must go back into the 1shoppingcart.com site to download the orders.
So step one is a big time-wasting go-around. Before it took a very few minutes to get the orders. Now it is a several-step go-around.
Previously an order came as below:
135176017″,"firstname.lastname@example.com","Jane ","Doe","","123 sw 34th pl","apt 90″,"gainesville","Florida","32608″,"United States","123-456-7899″,"","","","","Jane Doe","5411-0211-6211-4011″,"11/2008″,"Mas","Offline","10/24/2008 1:23:00 PM","NAME OF PRODUCT (1)79.95″,"COCHAN","84.95″,"0″,"","","",
"","","","","","","","Jane Doe","123 sw 34th pl","apt 90″,"gainesville",
"Florida","32608″,"United States", "UPS ground – US continental","5.0″,"","","","","","","","","","0″,"","","","0″,"0″,"US","0″
If there are several orders, they came in one after the other. It WAS easy to highlight and pluck out the info, drop into the invoice to process the order. We could merely print out the above to keep as a "raw" order for back up.
Not any more!!!
In the new, supposedly "improved" process, after we FINALLY get the order, it comes in an excel spread sheet with numerous columns. The columns are horizontal -with a zillion columns which spread about three feet horizonally – literally!!! Yes, we CAN cancel some of the columns, BUT it is next to impossible to get one order onto ONE page.
This means in order to print out the spread sheet to keep as a "raw" order, it will print one order across 2 or more pages!!! So to get a "raw" order on ONE page, we must futze around with the spread sheet. Who has time for this?
The order data is all in lower case, which means that it must all be retyped and not just copied and pasted into the invoice. Again, MORE work!!!! Each excel column is narrow, so that the data in it can not be read or viewed without manually altering each column!!! MORE time wasted futzing with the blasted excel spread sheet.
In short, 1shoppingcart.com's supposed "improvements" require time-consuming, labor intensive work to prepare the data BEFORE one can start processing orders.
So we decided to leave the service for another easier shopping cart. Well, not so fast!!!
1shopping automatically billed us – without checking – for a full year at $599 – $100 more than in the previous year. We were billed on 9/18 and today is 11/4. Since has been more than 30 days since billing us – 1shoppingcart.com will refund ONLY 50% of our $599 or $300!!! We get to eat $300 because we don't want to deal with the convoluted, labor-intensive, annoying process that 1shoppingcart.com fantasizes is an improvement. Further, if we wait too many more days to cancel, they will pay us back only $150 – 25%!!!!
Do you hear that sucking sound?? Sucking us and our wallet???
At the time that 1shoppingcart.com billed us for the entire year – without checking if we wanted to renew again or if we still wanted to pay for whole year instead of paying monthly – 1shoppingcart.com had the old, better, easier order retrevial system and not the new horrible, labor-intensive, time wasting process. Today was the first time that we encountered this horrible so-called up-grade. Had they had this horrible process when they renewed us, we would have quit immediately. Too bad.
This blog has helped me determine that aweber and e-junkie will best serve my needs. It has saved me alot of hassle!
Interesting comments, I am looking for something to replace virtuemart which has served me for a few years now, but i need more customization.
One thing I can't find out how to do with 1shopping cart is to create a customized form for a particular product – (ie – specific size, colour etc) and it seems to me that there are a few too many negative comments about 1shoppingcart here already for my liking. Anyone suggest another shopping cart solution? cheers, Andy.
BTW, i have found Mailchimp an excellent email marketing system.
This sounds like a great shopping cart system. If I am ever in need of a website shopping cart, I will definitely look into 1ShoppingCart further. I have used Zen Cart in the past and it was pretty good, but I don't think it had e-mail autoresponders.
I've used 1shoppingcart and am very unimpressed. Every time they update it, it gets worse. The site is slow. The tutorials are out of date. Bugs abound. If you offer coupons or product discounts to clients, it's a gamble as to whether they'll work. If you manually add more than 1-2 clients a day, you're flagged as a spammer, have the ability to add customers permanently removed, never to be reinstated again. Customer service is abysmal at best – a true nightmare to deal with, unfriendly, poorly trained, extremely slow, customer is always wrong attitude (they're most recent update requires you to pay to receive this horrible customer support – hilarious!).
Thanks for this honest review. I was actually considering purchasing this…
How to pass custom variables like user id , user name on view cart page and get back value on Thank You page in 1ShoppingCart?
Note : My application is in asp.net.
I really appreciate your help.
Thank You.
Hi, I know this isn't about 1shoppingcart but since it the thread is about shopping carts I just thought I would put my 2 cents in about zencart.
I installed zencart on my site last week after 3 months of using just the Paypal checkout system, which I have to say is pretty good. I put this in as a 'temporary' solution because my virtuemart (joomla) broke.
Now I had one customer who had an aversion to Paypal, and since I have merchant facilities that were basically doing nothing, I installed zencart through fantastico in cpanel on hostgator so this person could use her credit card without going through Paypal.
It took me about a week to get it all mostly right, then once i had it setup i made it active.
no sales for 4 days which was unusual, now I have with a friends advice think I have tracked down the problem.
With zencart you are faced with a not insubstantial sign-up form BEFORE you put in your card details / paypal details whatever, and I think customers who are faced with this quickly get put off. The form needs to go in AFTER the customer has bought, that way they have no choice but to put in their details.
KISS principle, but so far I have found no way to do this in zencart, so back to good old Paypal for a while !
Good luck all you Ecommercers, btw, if anyone knows a SIMPLE step by step processor let me know !
Found this article while searching for honest opinions on shopping carts. Yaro, your articles are always so well written I should just search your site instead of the web for things such as this.
I don't have the time or patience to learn the ins-and-outs of shopping carts, but I need something. 1Shoppingcart still has the free trial period, so perhaps I'll take the plunge and try it.
Hi Yaro,
I'm curious to know if you still use and recommend 1shoppingcart? It's been a while since this post wax written and now you are selling awesome products. Is 1sc still cutting it for you?
1shoppingcart service has gotten so bad, and their customer service really doesn't care. Every upgrade has been making more headaches, that it's really not worth using them.
WARNING: If you ever want to cancel your service with them, they "require" 7 days advanced notice. I cancelled one of my two accounts with them, and they had just charged me $99 two days earlier, because "they bill every 30 days, not monthly". The 3 previous months I was billed on the 5th of the month. So I asked for a refund or to keep my account open, the answer was "NO" from Ashley Van Schoonhoven – Client Services Billing Representative. She was very rude about it and said these are our terms.
Come on guys, do you really need 7 days notice ??? NOPE!! Technology companies should be able to do it instantly.
Oh well, my suggestion is use http://www.aweber.com for autoresponders, because we've seen better delivery open rates with using them. As for shopping carts, Infusion has been pretty good, but usually out of the price range of a lot of people.
Good Luck!!! Just remember, customer service friendliness is not what you are going to get with 1shoppingcart.com
The above has been my opinion and experience in dealing with this company. They use to be great when George Tran owned the company, and they use to be flexible in making upgrades and changes. Not so much these days!!
Update to my post: After making the same comments to customer support and not expecting to hear anything back from them, I received an email that they would refund the $99 back to me, and that they would take my example as a "Learning & Training Opportunity" to better train their customer support staff. I was actually impressed to see that response!!
Sometimes companies grow so big that they forget about their roots and their customers that make them as big and strong as they are. We all know major Fortune 100 companies that have done that. So it's very encouraging to get such a fast response back from someone in charge. Kuddos for a move in the right direction!!
I ended up going back to Joomla and Virtuemart for a shopping cart, Joomla is a free install from Cpanel with Hostgator
Their latest incarnation is much improved on previous versions. Still need to be somewhat nerdy to use it though – good job i'm a nerd !
I have used 1shoppingcart since 2008. Their customer service is pretty poor: I submitted a question because I was going live with a new product and it took them 4 business days to get back to me. Needless to say I figured it out by myself and went live anyway. I do have to say however, that I LOVE having all my data in one place instead of all over the place. And the options are pretty good and can allow me to continue my business growth at a pretty decent monthly fee.
I just did a review of 1ShoppingCart and referenced your article thanks for your review its great to hear the good and bad sides to products and services.
I provided the link for you below.
Yaro, FYI the "review" linked to above in Lisa's comment is misleading. It is not a review, simply an affiliate advertisement.
Yes I did a review of 1ShoppingCart after I had read Yaro's. The link posted was to let him know that I had mentioned his name in my blog which was the reason why I had even looked at 1ShoppingCart.
If it was misleading it was not intentional.
Your Message
Yesterday I sent 1shoppingcart a question about event management and today I got this response which was very friendly, caring and helpful and as there is quite a lot of negative comments here about there service I thought it worth sharing:
Hi Nicholas,
My name's Dan, and I'm glad to have the opportunity to help acquaint you with how our system can be the means to your online success.
You'll be happy to know that not only are we capable of handling event bookings, but we also have a substantial number of speakers as clients who are actively using our system for that purpose.
As for your question about labels, you could definitely export the orders for each event to a CSV file, and that would include each of the names.
I'm not sure if a program like Excel could take the name column of a spreadsheet and print it out as attractive labels or if you'd need to do that on your own.
I want you to know that I'd be happy to personally help you out with any clarifications you need.
Lastly, if you have a moment, please email me back to acknowledge that you've received this reply so that I know there's no need for a call.

Thanks for the great review – one of our upcoming clients is using 1ShoppingCart and I got the trial to make sure I understood everything it was doing. My only question is that when I click on their product it takes me to a page that asks me what kind of computer I am using – Mac or PC? Why doesnt 1ShoppingCart read this for me?
Hi Yaro,
Great info. I'm in that space of planning to grow and need the features of 1shoppingcart, but not wanting to start paying the fee yet.
I'm a little intimidated that you've been earning money on the internet for 10 years, have an awesome blog, which gets loads of comments (above) and aren't at a space to pay the fee. Is there any hope for me?
The post makes me think I need to pay the fee, but that question makes me hesitant…
Best to you,
1shoppingcart have wiped my account.
I rang today (23 January 2012) to update my VISA payment details and to ask them why communication with them had ceased since my last payment in November 2011 and they without any apology or real explanation told me that my account had been terminated and 'wiped' for non payment.
When I asked them why they hadn't been in touch, they had no answer. As I have been a good customer for ten years, am I the only one to find this behaviour extraordinary?
Hi there, I know this is an old post but I wanted to add my recent experience with 1ShoppingCart to the mix. Both myself and a friend recently signed up with 1ShoppingCart and, in addition to some technical issues, we've both found their customer support to be severely lacking. My friend emailed 1ShoppingCart over a week ago regarding an issue and never heard back, so she submitted a support ticket two days ago and is still waiting to hear back from them – the support ticket's status still shows "Unassigned".
Also, I have been overcharged the past two months for the plan I'm on, and the Billing team are giving me the runaround! Definitely, the worst customer support I have ever encountered 🙁 Sounds like 1ShoppingCart have really gone downhill since you wrote this article.
I agree with the criticisms above. It should be renamed 1ShoppingCrap.com
The bastards won't let you cancel without a fight. I've informed them on 8 different occasions that I'm done. Now they 'insist' I phone up.
Yaro – what do you think about the comparison of using aWeber for email marketing and Clickbank as shopping cart and affiliate management? What are the pros and cons of that combination vs using 1Shoppingcart?
You know… if you haven't got an eCommerce business, there's such a thing as both email marketing software and marketing automation software. No need to do acrobatics to get an eCom solution to bend to your needs.
I signed up for a 30 day free trial with one shopping cart. I opted out after the trial was up. Too complex for my start up. What they failed to tell me is that the online merchant application they referred me to and I signed with was not cancelled by them. As a result, I was charged for 18 months a 40usd fee for something I was not using and did not want. Their identifier "bkcrd" led my bookkeeper to believe it was a bank charge that I was paying and it took my bank's detective to figure out who was drawing on my account. Very tricky. Well, I called them up and asked for them to stop charging me and refund my money. They refused. I talked to customer service 10x. They made promised to be in contact, "review" my story, call me back, etc etc. etc. and never did. Finally they simply refused to do more than stop drawing from my account and refund 2 months out of 18. One shopping cart would not take any responsibiility for this. Eonline data are a bunch of slippery con-artists. A disgusting display of heartlessness and lack of ethics.

Pontiac Oil pump question- HELP !!!
71 350 Pontiac Lemans
A friends car had been held hostage in another shop for 30 months. The motor was in pieces. He brought it over for me to assemble. I'm a chevy guy, and he is not a motor guy. Anyways , we assembled the motor, and dropped it in. We went to drop the oil pump drive shaft and it appears to be 1" short !?! It was a Sealed Power Pump, and we didn't have the original to compare it to. Does Pontiac make different length drives or did the builder give him the wrong pump? I'm loading the baseball bat as I type...
Please help !?!?!
Well for one thing, the oil pump shaft goes on the oil pump when the pump is put in on Pontiacs. Pontiac only used one length of pump shaft on all engines from the 326 up to the 455. I've always used the Melling pump in all my Pontiac engines and had alot of success with them. What is the number on the Sealed Power pump that you used?
Normally the shaft is attached to the pump and then the pump is set in place. There are two dimples on the drive shaft rod that prevents it from coming loose from the pump and sliding out the distributor hole. The dimples require that the rod be installed from the bottom of the engine. For those of us that forget to install the pump shaft at the correct time, the dimples can be ground smooth and the pump rod set in from the top through the distributor hole. Only problem is you have to be more careful not to pull the rod out of the oil pump when removing the distributor. If you did try and install the rod from the top with the dimples still there, it probably would miss connecting with the oil pump by about an inch.
Yep, you guys are absolutely right. I screwed up when assembling it. Last night I ground off the nibs and set it down on the oil pump. Kind of tricky, but I got it after about 30 tries. Scarey, too. The first time it wasn't on, and it dropped way down, but I was able to grab it with a magnet I'm glad thats over ! This thing has been a pain. Seems that a bunch of the parts were legitamitly wrong. Push rods that were 3" too short, rocker arms that wouldn't fit the head studs. Gaskets for a motor without D shapd ports. I just assumed this was another one. My bad! For what this guy has into the motor PARTS, he could have bought a 400 horse crate motor (Chevy) that would be 100# lighter. Should have "Fire in the hole" by Sunday, provided we don't have other parts issues.
How do you guys deal with the headers? What a pain to install that one bolt , and slide it back. I thought SBC were bad. The headers we are using are Hookers. Are hedmans the same?
All makes of headers are basically the same PITA to install on a Pontiac. The easiest are Doug's Headers, and they actually have enough room to get a box end wrench on the bolts - but you still get to stand on your head while installing them. I've found that some Hooker Headers can be helped by blending the corners of the large hole about a 1/4" along the slot before you begin. It's not always necessary, but doesn't hurt to do it beforehand. Look the bright side - one painful afternoon and all the sparkplug changes for the life of the engine are simple, and no burned sprakplug wires either. I also would put the weights of the engines within 40 pounds of each other. And while it's true that Chevy parts are cheaper, isn't that like a steady diet of McDonald's every night?
More like Burger King. Same stuff, but you can have it your way ! Poncho plugs are DEFINATELY easier to get to than on a SBC ! Some pluses, some minuses. Just tough to convert under the gun when you have just a Haynes manual and Chevy experience, if you know what I mean. I haven't finished my Chevelle or my shop, and he was at my doorstep. Oh well.
You'd drool over this car. All original, NO work EVER done to it. Its starting to get surface rust. This guy has had it since 75. Stored inside for last 20 years. No winters,except 75,76,77. Some fresh paint, new vinyl top (hard), and is ready for the car shows.
Thanks again guys !
Been any way we can help we will. Both Lust and I are both members of a Pontiac board plus longtime Pontiac owners. Hey besides what is this board for, make friends and help each other out. All of us have run into problems before and it doesn't hurt to ask. Anything erlse we can do for you just holler and one of us will be here to help. Have a good one and keep us informed on the Chevelle. Alan
Frustrating Weekend #2
1.) The heads used were off a 68 400ci motor. Guess what. There are only 4 accessory holes and the 71 heads had 6. Bet you can't guess which 2 holes I needed. One is for the alternator pivot/power steering and the other is for the second power steering mount. Time to buy '68 Alternator and P/S mounts from Year One, I guess.
2.) The intake gaskets that the engine "builder" sent with the motor were the permatorques. Can't use them on the Edelbrock, so had to order printoseals.
3.) Carb that was sent was also the wrong one. It was a Edelbrock Quadrajet 901 (Chevy only application). Heat riser won't work, needs a electric choke for this application. Also needs an adapter for the throttle cable. Wrong inlet side, etc. Grrrr.
There's more, but it's Monday, so......
Been, if I could afford it I'd take a week off and come up and give you a hand. As far as intake gaskets I only use the Mr.Gasket intake gaskets as they have the small openings for the heat crossovers and I always use the blockoff plates. I've had problems in the past with both Victor and FelPro intake gaskets as far as getting the right ones. If you can find a Q-jet from an Olds, Buick or Pontiac and have it rebuilt it will be better than everything you'll have to go throught getting the Edelbrock to work. Also the Edelbrocks are calibrated for Chevy applications and would have to be tuned to the Pontiac. I con't have the brackets you need that I could send you right now but know where to get them so if you can't get what you need drop me a personal mail. Hopefully this week will be better and remember keep ing.
I have it under control now (I think). Its been a battle of trying to save the guy cash vs. what he already spent. I told him to buck up and order what we needed. He gave Year one and Summit a call along with a trip to the parts store.
Just seems that every time you THINK you have what ya need, the needs change.
I ended up using the printoseals. I've had great luck with them on SBC's.
Last night he ordered/picked up: Battery tray, radiator rubbers, tall valve covers, carb linkage adapter (They had one!) battery,new starter, alternator, banjo bolts, fuel/vacuum line, pcv valve, check valve for power head, power steering line (got the wrong one the first time), new collectors to match the new exhaust, and a slew of other parts. We did about $2,000 worth of damage to his visa in the last 2 weeks. But, I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Theres a pic of it in my gallery "Ralph's Revenge".
Here's the GOOD NEWS !! I'll be flying out Thursday AM to meet "Dinger" on Friday. We're going to Gene Winfield's seminar on English wheel, hammer welding and a bunch of other cool stuff. I'll be taking TONS of pics to upload. FIVE GLORIOUS DAYS AWAY from the "project from he!!". LOL Gene Winfield was the guy in charge of sectioning and chopping the 54 Chevy on Monster Garage. The only episode where the people actually did something constructive ! Ill keep you updated !

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Over the weekend I ran into an friend who owns one of Milwaukee's awesome indy bookstores. I'd mentioned to him in the past that he should carry zines, and he's always hemmed and hawed about it.
When I saw him on Sunday he said he was open to having a discussion about it. So I'm asking for talking points to convince him. I think it would be great, as MKE doesn't have that many places that ca…

After a dinner date left them both wanting more, Fiona impulsively invited John to the Paris couture shows. And in the most romantic city in the world, somewhere between the magic of the runway and the stroll along the Seine, Fiona let this man into her heart. A widower with two daughters, John Anderson was nearly Fiona's opposite in every way. As conservative as she was freewheeling, John was both amused and appalled by Fiona's world of high-strung designers, anorexic models, and high-heeled housemen. But within weeks of their return to New York, John was making friends with Fiona's snoring bulldog, Sir Winston, and Fiona was making room in her closets.
It didn't take long for the dominoes to start falling. First, John introduced Fiona to his daughters, their bloodthirsty Pekingese, and a snarling housekeeper straight out of Hitchcock's Rebecca. It was hate at first sight. Then, after a dinner party with John's biggest client goes disastrously awry, Fiona and John's relationship began to unravel with alarming speed. What happens next will set Fiona on a journey filled with pain and revelation, awakening and change. For when she returns to Paris alone and takes an amazing risk, an extraordinary series of events begins to unfold. And as the snow falls on the city of light, Fiona is about to get the surprise of her life: a second act she never saw coming.
In a dazzling tale of modern misadventures and career-crossed relationships, Danielle Steel brings us into the lives of two unforgettable people as they love and laugh, struggle and survive. With unerring insight, she captures the heady magic of instant attraction, the challenges of change, and the hope that comes when we dare to do it all over again.

"Too Old to be so Naive"
Some of the things happening seemed out of place in this day and age. Fiona seemed lively in her life but the character was broke down too far imo. Her love for dogs would have won the girls dog over and no one in this world would be okay with being bit twice. performance of John made him seem weak and monotone.
"second chance"
i love all of daille's book but this one touched my heart, every one in life should be happy weather they are divorced or widowd
"Good choice for fans of Danielle"
I listen to all of Danielle Steele's Audiobooks. I know what I'm getting, and this one did not disappoint.
It's one of her shorter novels with a regular theme. Career woman not looking for a committed relationship meets a man who wants a relationship, and the ups and downs of their lives. Set mainly in Paris and features detailed description of fashion week.
Fans of Ms Steele will not be disappointed. A nice way to lose yourself in a fantasy for an afternoon!
Great narrator too.

Fortran 2008 Overview
Fortran 2008 Overview
Table of Contents
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Overview of Fortran 2008
- 3 The BLOCK construct
- 4 Additional intrinsic functions for bit manipulation
- 5 ISO_FORTRAN_ENV additions
- 6 Miscellaneous and convenience features
- 7 References
1 Introduction
This document describes those parts of the Fortran 2008 language which are not in Fortran 2003, and which are now supported by Release 5.3 of the NAG Fortran Compiler.
2 Overview of Fortran 2008
The new features of Fortran 2008 that are supported by the NAG Fortran Compiler can be grouped as follows:
- the BLOCK construct,
- aditional intrinsic functions for bit manipulation,
- ISO_FORTRAN_ENV additions,
- miscellaneous and convenience features.
3 The BLOCK construct
This construct allows declarations of entities within executable code. For example,
Do i=1,n Block Real tmp tmp = a(i)**3 If (tmp>b(i)) b(i) = tmp End Block End DoHere the variable tmp has its scope limited to the BLOCK construct, so will not affect anything outside it. This is particularly useful when including code by INCLUDE or by macro preprocessing.
All declarations are allowed within a BLOCK construct except for COMMON, EQUIVALENCE, IMPLICIT, INTENT, NAMELIST, OPTIONAL and VALUE; also, statement function definitions are not permitted.
BLOCK constructs may be nested; like other constructs, branches into a BLOCK construct from outside are not permitted. A branch out of a BLOCK construct "completes" execution of the construct.
Entities within a BLOCK construct that do not have the SAVE attribute (including implicitly via initialisation), will cease to exist when execution of the construct is completed. For example, an allocated ALLOCATABLE variable will be automatically deallocated, and a variable with a FINAL procedure will be finalised.
4 Additional intrinsic functions for bit manipulation
The elemental intrinsic functions BGE, BGT, BLE and
BLT perform bitwise (i.e. unsigned) comparisons.
They each have two arguments, I and J, which must be of type
Integer but may be of different kind.
The result is default Logical.
For example, BGE(INT(Z'FF',INT8),128) is true, while INT(Z'FF',INT8)>=128 is false.
- The array reduction intrinsic functions IALL, IANY and IPARITY reduce arrays using bitwise operations. These are exactly the same as SUM and PRODUCT, except that instead of reducing the array by the + or * operation, they reduce it by the IAND, IOR and IEOR intrinsic functions respectively. That it, each element of the result is the bitwise-and, bitwise-or, or bitwise-exclusive-or of the reduced elements. If the number of reduced elements is zero, the result is zero for IANY and IPARITY, and NOT(zero) for IALL.
- The elemental intrinsic functions LEADZ and TRAILZ return the number of leading (most significant) and trailing (least significant) zero bits in the argument I, which must be of type Integer (of any kind). The result is default Integer.
- The elemental intrinsic functions MASKL and MASKR generate simple left-justified and right-justified bitmasks. The value of MASKL(I,KIND) is an integer with the specified kind that has its leftmost I bits set to one and the rest set to zero; I must be non-negative and less than or equal to the bitsize of the result. If KIND is omitted, the result is default integer. The value of MASKR is similar, but has its rightmost I bits set to one instead.
- The array reduction intrinsic function PARITY reduces Logical arrays. It is exactly the same as ALL and ANY, except that instead of reducing the array by the .AND. or .OR. operation, it reduces it by the .NEQV. operation. That is, each element of the result is .TRUE. if an odd number of reduced elements is .TRUE..
- The elemental intrinsic function POPCNT(I) returns the number of bits in the Integer argument I that are set to 1. The elemental intrinsic function POPPAR(I) returns zero if the number of bits in I that are set to 1 are even, and one if it is odd. The result is default Integer.
5 ISO_FORTRAN_ENV additions
The intrinsic module ISO_FORTRAN_ENV contains additional named constants as follows.
- The additional scalar integer constants INT8, INT16, INT32, INT64, REAL32, REAL64 and REAL128 supply the kind type parameter values for integer and real kinds with the indicated bit sizes.
- The additional named array constants CHARACTER_KINDS, INTEGER_KINDS, LOGICAL_KINDS and REAL_KINDS list the available kind type parameter values for each type (in no particular order).
6 Miscellaneous and convenience features
- In a structure constructor, the value for an allocatable component may be omitted: this has the same effect as specifying NULL().
- In a STOP statement, the stop-code may be any scalar constant expression of type integer or default character. (In the NAG Fortran Compiler this also applies to the PAUSE statement, but that statement is no longer standard Fortran.)
- ENTRY statements are regarded as obsolescent.
- An empty internal subprogram part, module subprogram part or type-bound procedure part is now permitted following a CONTAINS statement. In the case of the type-bound procedure part, an ineffectual PRIVATE statement may appear following the unnecessary CONTAINS statement.
A type-bound procedure declaration statement may now declare multiple
type-bound procedures. For example, instead of
PROCEDURE,NOPASS :: a PROCEDURE,NOPASS :: b=>x PROCEDURE,NOPASS :: cthe single statement
PROCEDURE,NOPASS :: a, b=>x, cwill suffice.
The NEWUNIT= specifier has been added to the OPEN statement; this
allocates a new unit number that cannot clash with any other logical unit (the
value will be a special negative value).
For example,
INTEGER unit OPEN(FILE='output.log',FORM='FORMATTED',NEWUNIT=unit) WRITE(unit,*) 'Logfile opened.'The NEWUNIT= specifier can only be used if either the FILE= specifier is also used, or if the STATUS= specifier is used with the value 'SCRATCH'.
Fortran 2008 extends the rules that are used for generic resolution and for
checking that procedures in a generic are unambiguous.
The new rules are that
- a dummy procedure is distinguishable from a dummy variable;
- an ALLOCATABLE dummy variable is distinguishable from a POINTER dummy variable that does not have INTENT(IN).

The Fortran 2008 standard, IS 1539-1:2010(E), is available from ISO as well as from many national standards bodies. A number of books describing the new standard are available; the recommended reference book is "Modern Fortran Explained" by Metcalf, Reid & Cohen, Oxford University Press, 2011 (ISBN 978-0-19-960141-7).

The amount of stimulant drugs seized at Tokyo's Haneda airport has grown sharply since it started accepting international flights in October 2010, customs data show.
A total of 35.7 kg of stimulants were seized at Tokyo International Airport in the first 10 months of 2013, sharply up from 14.5 kg in all of 2012 and 12 kg in 2011, Tokyo Customs said.
Many of the stimulant smuggling cases originated in South Asia, including India, in 2013. Cannabis, heroin and the synthetic drug MDMA have also been seized since the airport was opened to international flights, the customs office said.
The Metropolitan Police Department is thinking of beefing up the number of investigators at Haneda to brace for a further increase in drug smuggling cases, sources said.
The airport offers regular international flights connecting 17 cities in 13 countries and regions.
Annual international daytime landing slots at the airport are scheduled to double to 600,000 at the end of March.

adding on porch rails
I want to attach a rail siding around my back porch. I know everything to do except how do I attach the 2 by 4 to the outside of my house which is brick. how do you keep the screw to stay in the wall.Please help.have to do it myself no extra money to pay expert.
Tapcons screws work well in brick/concrete. You must use the proper size drill bit for the fastener, and it helps if you have a hammer drill.
I also like tapcon screws into masonry.
Thanks Bill,
I don't have a hammer drill just a regular heavy duty drill. Can I use that without going to the expense of renting one? I appreciate the information.Vickie
drilling through brick
use a masonry bit with standard drill and go through mortar instead of tapcons use leaded rawl plugs and stainless steel panhead screws
All my working life, I used a standard drill with masonry bits, as hammer drills hadn't been invented yet!
It just takes longer!
At my last house, they fastened a vertical 2X6 to the wall first and then fastened the top and bottom rails to this!

The Band Perry New Album Will Have 'More of a Live Feeling'
The Band Perry is in the midst of recording their sophomore album. As the trio hinted to The Boot earlier this year, they're working with legendary producer Rick Rubin, who is known for his work with the Dixie Chicks, Adele and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, among a laundry list of other huge names in music.
"He's really brilliant. He was really fantastic," Kimberly Perry told The Boot. "He was basically half therapist, half producer."
Now that they're "about halfway finished" with the project, the lead singer cites the man behind the curtain with the ease of record making. "[Rubin] has just been a masterful mentor," Kimberly tells Billboard, "so we felt a little bit more of the sophomore jitters before we actually pushed the record button. Now we're feeling really, really excited about everything."
One difference in the new songs, as opposed those on their first record, is the vibe. "We've taken the second album to more of a live feeling; we are a band, and where we're at right now with this second album feels like a band, which we're pleased about," Reid Perry explains.
"Our melody has grown up so much, mostly our delivery and the melody that we hear in our heads and in our hearts," Kimberly adds. "Everybody we keep playing the rough mixes for is like, 'It sounds like you guys are standing on this really cool edge.'"
As for songwriting, the trio have grown immensely in the past two years, giving them plenty of inspiration for new material. They explain that the new songs will not only incorporate stories from their busy and thrilling lives on the road, but also stories they've heard from fans.
Two tracks fans can except to hear on the new CD when it hits shelves later this year are "I'm a Keeper," which Kimberly describes as "a relationship song about being a free spirit," and another in honor of the siblings' mother. According to the songstress, the album holds "a lot of themes that revolve around family and best friends," in addition to the emotions associated with being away from home.
While the group is watching their "Postcard From Paris" climb the charts, they expect to release a new single from their upcoming project in the fall.
