" Manufacturer: Bosch / Product Type: Hedge Trimmers / Fuel Type: Battery "
* Prices may differ from that shown
It's gardening season again, time to get out the lawn mower to give your garden a nice fresh cut, making it look as pretty as a picture. So once the grass is cut you look to the sides, noticing your bushes need a bit of a tidy up, so it's out with the hedge trimmers and the ladders so that you can get it all done at once in the hope of having a relaxing time once it's all done, (although you could do what I try and do, try and get the wife to do it).
Sadly though, when you drag the hedge trimmers from the shed you notice that, for some strange reason, the blades have turned a dark shade of 'browny red', then you realise that it's not such a nice colour, it is in fact rust which has caused the metal of the blades to actually fuse together, making your trusty hedge trimmers only fit for the big garden in the sky.
Well, that's what happened to me anyway, forcing me to go out and get buy myself another set if trimmers, and the one I found I though was going to be a bit of a darling to use, especially as the price tag was a little more than I'd usually pay. But as it was on offer and it promised ease with using and a perfect finish for your bushes I though 'why not..? I'll give it a go'.
Although now I wish I hadn't as it was more a hassle than it was worth.
This particular hedge trimmer has the famous brand of Bosch etched up on it with the full name for this one being the 'cordless Bosch AHS 54-20 LI 36V 54CM Hedge trimmer
Firstly though, let me give you a run down on the hedge trimmer itself before I tell you why I had so much hassle with it...
It has a good little engine inside it, or motor anyway, being a powerful 36volts and running of a 1.3Ah battery pack. It has a blade length of 5400mm which is long enough for most garden hedge cutting, plus, these blades are laser-cut/diamond ground,(apparently) and can cut up to 25mm thickness, according to the destruction manual, and, although I've not really cut through anything that is an inch thick, it's made mince meat of branches that are pretty close to it, without any hesitation at all.
And, to top it all, the blades can be used in a sawing motion to get through those thicker piece in the garden.
It has what they call an 'anti-blocking' system, which basically means that know matter what you cut through, with in reason, just won't block up the blades.
The battery, which slots on the underside at the rear, is a 36V lithium-ion battery which is suppose to give up to 50 minutes of cutting power, although when ever I've charged it up to its full capacity I've never got anywhere near the promised 50 minutes, more like 30 minutes at a push which is long enough to cut through my bush, (easy now, don't be rude).
It takes about an hour to charge up fully and is designed to never self discharge, which means that once charged, no matter how long the trimmer is sat in the shed, the battery should keep the charge it was left with.
The entire unit, with battery fitted, weighs around 3 and a half kilos, which is a bit on the weighty side if you have to hold it for a period of time.
So that's what it is and the many positive sides to this hedge trimmer, but sadly, there are several cons to this one as well which, for me, make it not worth the high price that they are asking for it.
My opinion...
This is, on paper anyway, a remarkable hedge trimmer which, as it is battery operated, can get right down your garden without the need for those extension leads that you end up plugging together to get to the end of some gardens.
Sadly though, for me, I found this one to be very tricky to use with the safety features they've stuck on it.
I do have to give credit to the anti blocking action which is pretty remarkable, as anyone that has ever had there hedge trimmer trap itself on a 'thick' piece of hedge knows when the blades stop cutting and you have to go through the usual ritual of unplugging, getting you flat head screwdriver and pulling the teeth apart, will understand.
Plus, the sawing action that allows you to cut into thicker branches which does come in handy sometimes.
There is a guard on the front, where the blade goes into the main body, which protects your hands from any flying debris that may come flipping back at you, which is a good idea in general. But it's the other 'safety' features that have made this a horrid thing to use: the way that you have to hold both the handles in order for this to work, so there's no way you can hang from a the top of a ladder, gripping the rung with one hand whilst cutting the tops of your bush with this trimmer in the other hand.
But these good points don't make this device worth the hefty price tag, which is way too much considering that you'll spend more time trying to find a pair of step ladders long enough to get above the hedges you want to trim as you can't use these above head height in a comfortable way.
It is designed to protect the user, and it does a great job in that, but it goes a little too far in the way that I felt I needed a third hand to actually use this to cut any slightly higher hedges without getting the ladders from the shed.
The safety switch are on both handles, so that you can't use this with one hand holding it above your head to get at those higher bushes, which is a bit of a nuisance and a little bit 'too safe' in my books.
It can only be switched on when the safety switches are pressed, which is what makes this more of a hassle to use than anything as you really need three hands to use this one properly.
For me, the health and safety brigade have gone over the top on this one, making it pretty useless in my opinion, and an absolutely waste of space for people who have trouble holding things in general.
In all, safety has taken over ease of use, which is not good at all really if all you want to do is trim your bushes without studying yoga for three years first.
So what about this hefty price tag then..?
Get ready for this...
To get your hands on this piece of over the top Health and safety bit of equipment you're going to have to dig deep into you're bank account as this will cost you around the £150 - £200 region... I know, that's a lot of money for the hassles this one has given me since buying it.
In fact, I did try and take this back to the shop that I bought it from after I'd used it a couple of times but, as it wasn't 'faulty' I was refused a refund, which was annoying let me tell you.
In the end I sold this to a friend, which he thought was a bargain, until he used it and realised why I'd sold it to him at such a low cost... and to be honest he's not spoken to me for a while: maybe I should give him a bell to see if he's still a friend?
Would I recommend this?
Well, if you don't mind taking twice the time to cut your bushes then waste, I mean spend your money on this then. But if you want to get your bushes cut in minutes rather that hours then go for a totally different modal, one which doesn't have a full Health and safety certificate plastered all over it that is more hassle than it's worth.
I actually regret buying this one and wish that I had had the chance to try it out first as I'd have then kept my money in my wallet, maybe even using a pair of scissors to trim my bushes instead.

When Jack Worthing admits to being an orphan in Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, Lady Bracknell responds, "To lose one parent may be regarded as misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness." Considering Western writers, one might say that while one cowboy memoir by age 30 may be an achievement, two by 40 comes off as self-absorption.
Perhaps what barely, or nearly, saves One Good Horse, Tom Groneberg's sequel to 1996's The Secret Life of Cowboys, is the way Groneberg combines elements of the classic Western tale with autobiography. Strictly speaking, One Good Horse is not a memoir; or, to be more accurate, it's not just a memoir. The book starts with Groneberg losing his job as a ranch hand shortly after finding out that his wife Jennifer is pregnant with twins. Jobless, expecting and no longer able to call himself a cowboy, Groneberg writes, "I need a new story." As luck would have it he discovers the biography of Teddy Blue Abbott, a whiskey-drinking cattle driver from the post-Civil War era. Teddy Blue, it turns out, lived the way Groneberg has always wanted to live. From that discovery forward, One Good Horse alternates between Groneberg's story and Abbott's, and somewhere in the telling Groneberg learns not how to be a cowboy so much as how to be an adult.
The lesson comes none too soon. If you're familiar with The Secret Life of Cowboys, you know that Groneberg's wish to belong to the American range is boyish, earnest and all-consuming. He also has the means and the requisite lunacy to chase this phantom. In this first book we learned that after acquiring a 9,600-acre ranch near Miles City, Groneberg takes his next step into Western romance by signing up for the local rodeo. He prepares by saddling up and spurring a wobbly 55-gallon drum, which he rolls back into the shop before approaching neighbors can spot him. Eager but embarrassed, Groneberg writes, "I will have a horse story of my own even if it kills me."
Groneberg knows that land funded in part by his dad and three seconds on a bronco do not a cowboy make, but these are his best options, and he pursues them with splendid abandon. Primarily an account of losing the ranch, Cowboys succeeds because its author is courageous enough to play the fool in his own story without coaxing pity from his readers. Though at best he feels like a Western figure trapped inside quotation marks, Groneberg manages to pat himself on the back for trying and to have some laughs at his own expense.
There's considerably less to laugh about, and fewer fantasies available in One Good Horse. The twins are born seven weeks premature, Bennett with an umbilical hernia and Avery with Down syndrome. Meanwhile, Groneberg takes one last stab at cowboy-hood by purchasing a colt and trading labor on a friend's ranch for its board. Realizing the Western dream, if that's still possible, will now require some imagination.
Enter Teddy Blue. While splicing Abbott's story onto his own is no great feat of creativity, getting a reader to believe that Abbott and Groneberg belong on the same frontier is the trick of a fine writer. Rather than trying to elevate his own story by casting himself as some sort of horse whisperer, Groneberg instead portrays the sensational Abbott as a human being, recounting his exploits in sure-footed, steady-as-she-goes language.
Teddy Blue fords rapids with hundreds of longhorns, escapes the wrath of Billy the Kid, spits out a bullet and runs across the top of train cars, but the way Groneberg tells it Blue may as well be pounding a fence post into the dirt or sweeping out a stall. Believe it or not, this works. Teddy's story registers in a way that it never could if he had been portrayed as Butch Cassidy, and Groneberg looks more like a cowboy atop his "skinny, sad mistake" of a horse than he did at the rodeo.
What's difficult to take is Groneberg's decision to train this colt among so many pressing obligations. There are paragraph-long apologies to the wife, some changed diapers, a fund-raiser and a trip to the physical therapist, but mostly there is either Abbott or Groneberg in the great outdoors. Given the family crisis against which Groneberg's adventures are set, these stories amount to a tiny stained glass window in a dim, melancholy cathedral. Though it may catch the sun once in a while, the glass does little to change the light inside. The real hero in this dark space of a book is Groneberg's wife Jennifer, off the page and at home with the kids.
Several times while narrating from the range Groneberg reflects that one's efforts to help often go unheeded or misunderstood. Though he's not referring to what he does for others, buying this lament without haggling makes me feel like the sucker at the bazaar. If he wants to give assistance that would be appreciated, there's plenty to do around the house, it would seem. At these moments I wish Jennifer would emerge from the recesses of the book, grab Tom by the rhinestones and drag him back home, maybe prop him up behind a vacuum. I'm playing the scold, but this feels like the wrong time for a horse story.
Tom Groneberg appears at Fact & Fiction to read from and sign copies of One Good Horse Tuesday, April 25, at 7 PM.

Your Main Purpose As a Wedding Planner
Ever wonder what a wedding planner REALLY does?
Most people rely on movies like "The Wedding Planner" to form their definition of a typical wedding planner. For the most part, J.Lo as a headset wearing "star of the show" is fantasy when it comes to being a wedding planner. Unlike Matthew and Bridget's unlimited budget, you will be hired for your budgeting skills. But your bride will be stressed and this is where you DO shine. You will be called upon and hired or not hired based on your abilities to perform under pressure, like there is no pressure. Learning your role in brides' and grooms' weddings is the first piece of the wedding planning puzzle. Below is a list of the 3 most recognized service selections your clients have to choose from. We refer to these as "packages." However, I am here to tell you, if you want to excel past the cookie cutter wedding planner, then it is up to YOU to define these packages by adding your own pizazz to your unique services.
Wedding Planner – def (n)
A person who creates magic, pulls answers out of hat, and performs a flawless wedding (without sweating).
There are many services a wedding planner can provide to a bride. Depending on the bride's needs and personality, it is up to the wedding planner to service her client's needs. Not only is it important to meet the client's expectations, but exceeding their expectations will enhance your referrals to help you find your next client.
Full Service Planner
A full service planner is able to really help the bride from literally the beginning to the end of her planning. From the moment the groom pops the question the bride comes into the planner's office to begin the journey. This bride is often new to the area, gets overwhelmed easily, doesn't like to make decisions, or is very busy in her career or education. A planner's main responsibility is to be the representative for the family and keep communication lines open amongst all parties involved. Becoming the mediator is often a crucial role in this phase of the planning process.
Main Responsibilities of a Full Service Planner:
oSet budget (stay on budget throughout the planning process)
oFind reception/ceremony location
oBook vendors (photographer, videographer, florist, entertainment)
oNegotiate pricing for all vendors involved
oCreate personal décor style for bride/groom
oCreate vendor timeline/bridal party timeline
oAttend all meetings
oOrchestrate the rehearsal and wedding day
oPersonal assistant to family
oFollow up with miscellaneous tasks post-wedding
Partial Planner
This is the most popular program wedding planners can offer to their clients. Brides will come into the appointment with some of the choices already made, but would like professional guidance in the midst of the planning process. Brides think they can do it all themselves only to find frustration and an endless list of things to do hence, why they turn it over to a planner. This type of bride likes to have the final say in the decision making process, but wants a professional opinion each step of the way.
Main Responsibilities of a Partial Planner:
oCollect all information/contracts from client
oEvaluate the budget
oMeet all family members involved in the planning process
oCreate road map/set goals for each month with client
oBook remainder vendors
oNegotiate pricing when available
oPersonal Décor (upgrade program)
oCreate vendor timeline/bridal party timeline
oAttend final catering meeting
oOrchestrate the rehearsal and wedding day
oPersonal assistant to family
oFollow up with miscellaneous tasks post-wedding
Day of Planner
A Day Of Planner is someone who comes in and picks up all the pieces (often referred to as the personal assistant to the family or the manager of the overall wedding). The main responsibility of a day of planner is to ensure the plan the bride and her family has created runs smoothly according to their expectations. Reception décor and ceremony timing is crucial the day of the wedding. The most important piece of the puzzle is to make sure the vendors are directed in the right place at the right time along with the bridal party. The timeline is the heart of the event. Without a solid timeline, people will not know where to go and when they are to report. A day of planner is only as good as her timeline. 5 minutes off the time of the wedding day, means tough filet mignon in the hotbox. This is often referred to as "Game Day."
Main responsibilities of a Day of Planner:
oCreate timeline
oCall all vendors to check arrival time and location
oPunch out meeting with bride and groom (collect personal items)
oGet help
oAssign staff with bride (assist in getting dressed)
oAssign staff for reception décor (implement plan)
oOverall manager for family
oOrchestrate rehearsal and wedding day
oFollow up with miscellaneous tasks post-wedding
There are three main services a wedding planner can provide: full service, partial, or day of planner. Knowing which type of service the client is seeking will help define the type of program to sell her. Each client is unique and some programs might have to be customized to fit her needs. Remember, the bride is the client you are the director. It is up to the director to guide the client into the right program to suit her needs.

Outdoor Gazebo Wedding Decorations
An outdoor gazebo can be a beautiful complement to an outdoor wedding. A gazebo can quickly transform any setting into a more elegant setting fit for a wedding. Consider using an outdoor gazebo to complement a wedding help in a backyard, at the beach, in a field, or in a garden. A gazebo will not only provide a powerful focal point which will direct guest attention to the ceremony, it will also help to cover and disguise flaws that may be present at your wedding location. Even a simple gazebo can be transformed into a magical and beautiful structure by decorating the gazebo and tying it in with the overall wedding theme.
Flowers are one of the more common methods for gazebo decoration. Flowers will help to unite the gazebo with the wedding theme and colors. They will also lend an air of outdoor elegance to an otherwise plain structure. Consider having the florist construct elegant garlands of flowers which will easily attach to the outdoor gazebo in a variety of decorating combinations.
One may also want to consider creating decorations from other common decorating items such as: tulle, ribbon, fabric, or leaves. A fresh coat of paint before the ceremony can also bring a fresh new life to an older, faded outdoor gazebo.
Some brides will choose to integrate lighting into their gazebo decorations. This can be especially stunning when the ceremony will be held in the evening. Twinkle lights are one of the easiest and most affordable lighting options to consider for gazebo decoration.
If the site that is being considered for the wedding does not already have a gazebo, it is possible to bring one in for the event. Many companies offer rental of gazebos. Other options include purchasing or constructing an outdoor gazebo for the event specifically or borrowing a gazebo from a friend or family member. If having a gazebo is a priority, it will be possible to locate or acquire one for the ceremony.
When creating a decorating plan, consider testing ideas before the ceremony. A trial decoration of the gazebo can be completed before the event to troubleshoot potential problems and create solutions.
An outdoor gazebo can be a beautiful addition to an outdoor wedding. Decorating this structure to complement a wedding theme can be both entertaining and affordable. All beautiful decorations require are creativity and preplanning. Even an old gazebo can be made beautiful for a wedding ceremony.
Orissa Wedding And Its Rituals
On the east coast of India, along with the Bay of Bengal lies the amazing state of Orissa, the locals there are knows as Oriyas. The Oriyas like to live a simple and plain life with minimal pomp and show, which gets reflected in their festivals and in their weddings.
The weddings in Orissa are very similar to Hindu weddings.
In a typical Oriya wedding, one can find many similarities with a Hindu wedding. An Oriya wedding is also a prolonged event that goes on for several days the basic rituals are also similar. One thing that is different when it comes to marriages in Orissa as compared to other marriages in India is that the mother of the grooms in Orissa doesnt attend the marriage; neither does any of the aged female in the grooms side. Even in the Oriya category, there are two types of Oriyas; one is the Brahmin Oriyas who perform the wedding rituals during the day time, whereas the non-Brahmin Oriyas conduct the marriage ceremony during the evening or the night time, just like most Indian weddings.
Like all other Indian marriages, Oriya marriage is a long and extended affair but it is a lot more simple and free from any sort of hassles and complex rituals. In a Orissa wedding, the bride and the groom are made to sit together next to the holy fire aka mandap where the pandit recites various chants and mantras followed by saptpadi, where seven mounts of rice are kept each signifying the saptakulaparwata and the seven hills after which the pheras are taken by the bride and the bridegroom. After the pheras are performed, the haatha ghanti takes place, where puffed rice is offered to the holy fire as a lajja by the bride and groom, where they face each other and the brides brother places the hand of his sister in the grooms hand and puts puffed rice in their hands. Once these are complete, the kanyadaan takes place in a nicely decorated madap, which is basically performed by the father of the oriya bride where he hands over his daughter to her groom.
Besides these rituals, special attention is given to the attires of the bride and the groom. The bride wears a rich red, orange or pink colored lehnga and is adorned with gold jewllery and flowers. The groom, on the other hand, adorns a dhoti or a jor i.e. a white silk cloth draped around him. For grooms in Orissa, dhoti is considered as the best and most preferred attire for a wedding.
There are many big and small pre as well as post wedding ceremonies in Orissa like – Jayee Anukolo, Mangan Tradition, Jairagodo Anukolo, Diya Mangula Puja, Barajatri & Baadua Pani Gadhua to name a few. Each ritual has its own procedure and importance. Hence its pretty evident that like a regular Hindu marriage, wedding in Orissa is an elongated process that goes on for several days.
Once all these ceremonies are performed and the bride bids farewell to leave for her grooms house, there is a custom called the astha mangala where after eight days of the marriage the newly wed couple is invited to the brides house for a delicious treat. Both are served nicely cooked food by the brides family. The procedure to conduct a wedding in Orissa is not much different from other weddings in India and its a pious occasion for both the bride and the groom and their families.

Fogging inside headlights
Yesterday afternoon after getting home from picking up the kids from school I noticed that both my headlights appeared to be fogged up in the corners. It is definately on the inside as I couldn't wipe it off...lol
It was raining most of the day but the car was only out in the rain whilst driving. Parked it was undercover.
Anyone else seen this with their headlights?
See below.
Re: Fogging inside headlights
Looks like you have moisture inside the lens. New Headlight for you.
Re: Fogging inside headlights
I checked them both tonight when I got home from work (the car wasn't driven today and stayed inside my garage) and they are all clear again. Will keep an eye on them and get it sorted at the 20K service.
They are vented headlamps....completely normal when new. Couple heat cycles and theyll be fine. Mine did thst after its first wash.
Re: Fogging inside headlights
Tomorrow I'll be out most of the afternoon and the car will be outside all that time so I'll check it again tomorrow when I get home.
Re: Fogging inside headlights
I have the same problem fogging up in the corners too, looks like it's common for WK2JGC. Only happens when headlights are on and raining. (I believe the vent holes are to small)

Southwest University Park to host two Mexican Winter Games in September
EL PASO, Texas - The Chihuahuas' regular season may end Sept. 1 but baseball will continue to be played at Southwest University Park later that month.
The El Paso Chihuahuas, in conjunction with Leg Up Entertainment and GECU, present the first-ever Mexican Baseball Fiesta to be held on Sept. 28 and 29 at Southwest University Park.
The fiesta will feature two teams - Los Naranjeros de Hermosillo and Los Tomateros de Culiacán - from the Pacific League of Mexico which is a part of the Mexican Winter League.
"It is an honor to have the opportunity to host teams from Mexico's own major leagues here in El Paso," said Alan Ledford, MountainStar President. "For the first time ever, fans will have the opportunity to see their favorite Mexican League players in their own backyard, and to experience the festive nature of a Hermosillo or Culiacan home game. We look forward to welcoming the players and fans from Mexico to Southwest University Park."
"We have believed all along that Southwest University Park is the most unique in Minor League Baseball with its stunning views of the United States and Mexico," said General Manager Brad Taylor. "It is only fitting we host an international event by welcoming two Mexican Pacific League teams to play here."
The Fiesta will include an atmosphere that has music, food, and entertainment.
Chihuahuas season seat holders will have the first opportunity to buy their season seats and buy additional tickets for the Mexican Baseball Fiesta beginning today, July 25t. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Aug. 1.
Prices start at $5.
Fans can buy tickets at EPChihuahuas.com or in person at the Durango or Santa Fe Box Offices. The box office is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturdays 10- a.m.-4 p.m.
The Mexican Baseball Fiesta debuted in Tucscon in 2011 as a four team tournament.
The Fiesta has grown throughout Arizona, Northen Mexico and Texas.
This year's action will include exhibition games in six cities and run through October, prior to the start of the season.
"For those not familiar with Mexican Winter League baseball, it's as popular as the MLB is to us, if not more so," said Mike Feder, President of Mexican Baseball Fiesta, LLC and Senior Advisor to the El Paso Chihuahuas.
"Fans follow their teams with such fierce loyalty and pass the love of the game on from generation to generation. It's not uncommon to see three or four generations of family enjoying a game together. El Paso will be the perfect addition to our regional lineup."
The Pacific League of Mexico was founded in 1945 and plays from October through February. The champion of the league, also referred to as the Winter League of Mexico, plays in the Caribbean World Series, a title taken home by the Naranjeros in February of this year.
Naranjeros de Hermosillo
Los Naranjeros are based in the Capital of Sonora. Los Naranjeros de Hermosillo are one of the most successful teams in the Mexican Pacific League, having won 16 league titles and are the recent winners of the Caribbean Series title, their second in league history. In 1976, they became the first Mexican team to win the Caribbean Series. Former Hermosillo players include Curt Schilling, Larry Walker, Fernando Valenzuela, Erubiel Durazo and Vinny Castilla.
Tomateros de Culiacan
Los Tomateros are one of the most popular teams in the Mexican Pacific League. They have won nine Mexican Pacific League Championships, most recently in 2004. In that same year they went on to win the Caribbean Series with a lineup that featured several Major League players including Ramiro Pena, current second baseman for the Atlanta Braves. Other players include Rodrigo Lopez, Oliver Perez, Luis Ayala, Jose Silva and Benji Gil.

Pinnacle Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish
Multi-surface polish that promotes proper bonding of coatings
Pinnacle Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish is a non-abrasive, water-based polish that gently removes embedded dirt and grime, restoring a natural brilliance to your vehicle's paintwork. Use this thick cream to prep your vehicle's paint, wheels, and glass for application of a Black Label Diamond coating. Water-based formulation promotes proper bonding thanks to its wax, silicone, and oil free formula; polished surfaces can be coated immediately after application.
Unless your vehicle is parked in the garage 24/7/365, it is constantly bombarded by airborne pollutants and environmental contaminants. As these contaminants build up on your paint, they block waves of light, making the surface appear dull and faded.
You're never aware of how contaminated your paint is until you polish it with Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish
, a 100% water-based polish that's non-abrasive and safe for use on all paint systems.
Applies effortlessly by hand or machine.
Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish is the first step in properly coating your vehicle.
In order for a paint, wheel, or glass coating to properly bond, the surface must be 100% free of contaminants, waxes, silicones, fillers, polymers, and polishing oils.
Synergistic chemical compatibility enables Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish to clean, polish and prep the surface without using isopropyl alcohol or volatile chemical cleaners.
Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish is capable of removing heavy road film, light water spots, embedded dirt, oxidation and light swirl marks.
White paint will be brighter, dark paint will be richer, and glass will be clearer after being polished with Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish.
In one step your vehicle will be clean, polished, and ready for long-term protection with one of the many Black Label coatings available.
Crystal Red Corvette Convertible polished with Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish and coated with Black Label Diamond Surface Coating.
Use Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish as part of your maintenance program for your preferred paint, wheel, or glass coating products. Thanks to its non-abrasive formula, the polish won't abrade the surface, thus preserving the layer of protection created by the coating.
It will remove staining and embedded dirt that has accumulated over time, rejuvenating the shine and boosting the impressive water-sheeting characteristics of the coating.
Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish can be applied by hand or machine. Its thick, creamy formula spreads thin and wipes off without any effort.
Shake well.
Ensure surface is cool to the touch.
For hand application, use a microfiber applicator pad.
For machine application, use a foam polishing or finishing pad.
Work the product into the surface and remove residue with a soft microfiber towel.
Apply appropriate Black Label Diamond coating to surface.

Works great, but...
April 21, 2016
This worked fantastic to polish my car before applying Opti-Coat to it, very easy to apply and it just wipes right off, no buffer needed. Beware though, if you get it on your trim it is very difficult to get off because of the paste like consistency of it (I expect this would be an issue with any polish though). The sooner you get it off the easier it will be!
Goes on and off super easy, works great
Be careful not to get it on your trim!

Pump Dispenser Failure
April 15, 2016
Couldn't comment in terms actual performance of the product because the pump dispenser on the bottle completely failed. Removed the cap twice but couldn't find an obstruction. Without the pump dispenser I couldn't control the application of the product and just reached for my tried and true Auto Glym product instead. Disappointing purchase.

Perfect Pre Wax Cleaner!
August 2, 2015
This is the absolute best pre-wax cleaner i've ever used. Its perfect for just about anything. Paint, plastic, glass, removes that foggy haze on the inside of the windshield with ease and easy to buff off. Paint on my dark grey Challenger just pops like crazy. Polish it on the glass and it removes water spots and road build up with easy using a white polish pad. Polishes head lights and taillights to a nice clean shine ready to sealant. For prepping for glass sealant its best to do a quick IPA wipe before.

Good product, has potential for more
October 24, 2014
When it works, it seems to remove everything from your paint's surface! Literally, it's the most thorough paint cleaner I've used to date. Unfortunately, mastering the application method is nothing short of a pain in the rear. Even when using sparingly, this cleaner is extremely difficult to remove completely without premium quality microfibers and the proper application method. Distilled water does make things easier, as the product is water miscible... but it's hard to tell if that changes the product's performance in any way. Unexperienced detailers, prosumers, or those new to the product line will likely struggle to make the polish work as advertised. If not completely removed from the finish, the remaining product will likely interfere with the bonding of DSC to the paint surface. Also, machine application is difficult, as the product is easy to over-work. Removal is nearly impossible without re-applying at that point. Perhaps I was given an older batch with my order, or perhaps the pump mechanism made the bottle extremely difficult to mix completely. Although, the chemistry might be such that the product never separates in the first place... hard to tell. Either way, the product does need some work to make it worthy of the black label line.
Merchant Response:
Thanks for submitting the review. If the polish is difficult to remove, it's usually because it was applied too thick, or worked in too long. This polish isn't meant to remove swirl marks or other imperfections, but to simply cleanse the paint of previously applied waxes, sealants, and oils that may remain from other polishes used in the paint correction step. Apply it more like a liquid wax and you'll achieve much better results.
+Works wonders, when it works properly +Extremely concentrated, only a few drops per panel does the trick. +Smells incredible! Vanilla scent eases the struggle a bit.
-A struggle to make the product work properly -May need a flip top dispenser

This smoked Zymols cleansing polish 4-27-2014
April 27, 2014
I stripped my car so I could wax it. I stripped, clay barred and used Zymols cleansing polish. Simply put, after 10 minutes of struggling with Zymol pre-wax cleaner I threw it in the trash ($25 loss). When I switched to PBL Surface Cleansing Polish, it was a 100% night and day difference. It went on real easy with my PC7424 XP (used the 5.5" Black pad). It was also real easy to wipe off UNLIKE Zymols which sucked big time!! I wanted to compare the 2 as I want to know for future reference and if anyone was curious. I know that Pinnacle Black Label is a new product from PBMG. It has no track record. Well, today 4-27-2014 I can tell you; it is one of the best cleansing polishes around....PERIOD! It smoked a quality wax company's (Zymol) product. A KNOCKOUT! I will be keeping this product as my go to pre-wax/sealant cleaner. Excellent product and please keep up the great work.
Easy on easy off and works well with any DA.

coating prep
April 6, 2014
if prepping for a coating be sure to apply this product twice. After some time using this to prep paint I have come to the conclusion that you really need a second application, specifically by hand after going over the paint once. give it a try, you will notice that the paint feels a little slick after the first wipeoff. if thats the case, the second application , wipe on wipe off, will give you that squeaky clean surface. also use a LOT of towels for wipe off.

Nice product..easy to use
December 12, 2013
Just finished my 2013 Black CL using this product for the first time. I used an orbital polisher to apply and it went on beautifully and came off easily. Had a few small scratches and they disappeared with a little specific effort. It is expensive, but I think it could be close to foolproof.

Very easy to remove residue!
December 4, 2013
Man, I admit I was worried after buying and reading the earlier review. However, product arrived and I couldn't be happier I've ordered this to prep. for BL surface coating. This is the highest quality product you can imagine. Thick, a little goes a long way. Perfect working time. I can't say enough, just read the product description: It does EXACTLY what it says. Although it states to be a non abrasive product, this product not only cleaned but removed light swirls, finishing even better than M205, both on white CCS pad. You can feel how gently it goes on the paint, however it's extremely efficient. Next time I will try to go directly from compounding to this polish, then coating. I know there are a lot of ways to prep paint for a coat, but I hardly believe anything would make BL Surface Coating spreads so perfectly - Synergistic, it's also stated at product, you can feel during application. Final result after this prep. and coating application: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Cons: Price/Size. This product is very good for BL coating prep, but price is prohibitive for such small quantity, I've only ordered it because of deal and sale discount. Please, increase bottle size / reduce price a little: this will be a best seller. Exceeds every and any expectative.

Retirement Bliss May Turn to Blues for Some Boomers
April 13
Quoted: David Wise
Topic: Retirement planning
Will the old thirtysomething gang still be showing up for work at seventysomething? That could be the case for many of their real-world contemporaries if they hope to enjoy financially secure retirements. …
Some researchers believe most Baby Boomers are indeed wealthy enough to maintain their pre-retirement consumption, notes David Wise, an economist at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Wise, however, says it's instructive to look at the real financial status of elderly retirees near the end of life. "When you look at it that way it doesn't look as favorable," he says. …
Iran nuclear talks: Why there's hope for progress this time
The Christian Science Monitor
April 13
Quoted: Stephen Walt, Belfer Center
Topic: Iran nuclear talks
Stephen Walt was also cited in The Journal Sentinel (Milwaukee)
… The New York Times quoted unnamed US officials last week stating that one of their opening positions in the talks was that Iran had to agree to not just halt 20 percent enrichment, but also close down and dismantle Fordow. Iran immediately pointed out that Fordow is monitored by the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency, and that closing the facility was a non-starter. …
If that were the P5+1 opening bid, it might be a "good way to sabotage" the talks, wrote Harvard University professor Stephen Walt in an analysis for Foreign Policy this week.
"Remember: Iran has invested millions to build a protected underground enrichment facility, which is what any sensible government might do if it were constantly being threatened with a preventive strike," wrote Prof. Walt. "It would be an extraordinarily humiliating climb-down for them to agree to shut the facility down at this point and then dismantle it." …

David King was also quoted in The Scotsman (Scotland) discussing GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney
Former wrestling executive Linda McMahon has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Republican town committees, the state Republican Party and various local candidates while she pursues a seat in the U.S. Senate, according to a review of state election records by The Associated Press. …
David King , a lecturer in public policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, said the donations amount to smart politics.
"It's very wise and not widely done," said David King, a lecturer in public policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. "That pays off in terms of loyalty and boots on the ground when it comes time to getting folks out to the polls. Favors beget favors. It's uncommon for people to contribute to local party organizations so every little dollar helps and every dollar is remembered." …
The bitter truth about Iran
The Jerusalem Post (Israel)
April 15
Commentary by: Charles Frelich, Belfer Center
Topic: Sanctions on Iran
As the Iranian nuclear program nears its critical stages and the possibility of military action becomes more realistic, highly respected observers – even former senior Israeli officials – have come out strongly against this. US President Barack Obama has made his preference for continued sanctions and diplomacy clear. The US and EU talks with Iran on Saturday did not provide a clear indication of whether Iran is serious about wanting a last- minute deal. The inveterate optimism of diplomats aside, the only clear outcome is a further time gain for Iran, until the next round on May 23. …
Women's Rights: Is Equality under threat in some Arab countries
CQ Global Researcher
April 3
Quoted: Victoria Budson, Women and Public Policy Program
Topic: Women's rights in Arab countries
… While the plight of a Yemeni woman who was forced to marry at a young age and a mother trying to break through the glass ceiling in an industrialized country may seem worlds apart, one common strand runs through the lives of all women, says Victoria A. Budson, founding executive director of the Women and Public Policy Program at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Women are "never free" without economic independence, she says. "If they don't have that, they can't freely move in and out of marriages or define what their own life looks like." …

Okinawa Beans Shop
The area just north of Naha is quickly becoming my favorite place to shop. Amidst the weathered buildings, newer, trendy stores seem to revitalize the neighborhood, as well as supply me with hard to find gourmet items.
Such is the case of fresh coffee beans. In my opinion, there can never be enough. I began my coffee education in Seattle, where Starbucks cornered the market on every corner. While I've attempted various at-home brewing methods (regular coffeemaker, French press, espresso machine, etc), I've settled on a funnel filter method which more consistently produces a delicious cup of coffee. When your brew is consistent, you can more accurately compare the flavors of different beans.
Okinawa Beans Shop provides you this opportunity, offering roasted beans from around the world including Columbian in Supreme, bitter and regular, a mild-flavored Jamaican Blue Mountain roast, Tanzanian bitter, a strong aroma coffee called Guatemalan SHB, Kilimanjaro blend, Brazilian Santos, and an Indonesian blend recommended with cake. If you can't decide, you might try the recent top sellers marked with red stickers. Prices range from ¥380 to ¥1400 per 100g and can be ground to your brewing specification (coffeemaker, espresso, etc). Okinawa Beans Shop carries a selection of brewing equipment, mugs, and treats like Kobe doughnuts.
There are also pouches of coffee with built-in filters – simply open the flaps, place on a mug and pour hot water through to brew – perfect for camping.
You can order freshly brewed coffee your way, or an Italian soda in peach, passion fruit or raspberry to take out. I recommend the almond iced latte.

Nemo - #763582 - 4 Years Old - Corgi Mix - Male
Meet Nemo, the best sidekick in the west! This resilient little guy was found as an injured stray in August. With road rash, knocked out teeth and some very sensitive bruises, Nemo probably survived a frightening run-in with a vehicle. Nemo also had some emotional scars and would cower away from people with distress in his eyes. But look at him now! Nemo is a whole new dog. He's loyal and loving, once you've introduced yourself as a friend. This peppy little guy would do best in a home with minimal activity and no young children. He just wants to relax at home with his favorite person. If you could give Nemo a lifetime of praise and pampering, please ask to meet this very special Hidden Gem at the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Nemo is waiting in staff offices, his bags are packed and he's ready to go!

Gpetrics on Dodge's Drop
Gpetrics is an accomplished above treeline skier from Hanover, NH. He's addicted to high adventure and he's an excellent photographer. When I saw the picture below, it captured my imagination. Following are excerpts from the TR he posted on Time for Tuckerman, after a trip to the rockpile, in early April 2008.
* * * *
"…backcountryBen and I had a few things to take care of. When I raced in the Toni Matt downhill at Big Mountain a good 6 or 7 years ago, I finally opened my eyes and learned about all the history people like Mr. Matt and Brooks Dodge put into my backyard. I've had a hankering to do some of the big lines that these guys pioneered. Tuesday April 8th was the day. We finally hit Dutchess, Empress, Dodge's and Sluice. My numero uno objective however was (and always has been) to get up and down Dodge's. I have no idea why I haven't done it yet… it's usually is in play for a good period of time. Unlike Central which is so difficult to get because, among other things, the time window is so short. Dodge's isn't the hardest line in the world (again unlike Central), but for some reason it has eluded me. So pumped to get it done, and say to myself that I can appreciate the history of the mountain just a little bit more. In all honesty, not the perfect Dodge's day with the SE wind at the top to keep things firm. It probably would have been a better day to hit something else. Huntington was surely more protected from the winds. But what we did was not bad. Now I can't wait to get back up there with the monkey off my back." Click on the photo to enlarge.
Gore Mountain, NY: 4/10/08
Ski Day 28: Up this morning and off to Gore, after skiing Whiteface yesterday. I was curious about the condition of Gore, and the coverage. I knew it would be interesting to compare the two mountains side by side under basically the same conditions.
Actually it was bad couple of days for electronics as my iPod died on the drive home too. Man I hate listening to the radio driving through the Catskills. Sooo…despite yesterdays really warm temps (60s?), it did go below freezing last night. At the cabin, all the puddles had a thin layer of ice. So that was good. Gore, unlike Whiteface – was closed all week – since Sunday. So instead of getting pounded by skiers in the warm temps, Gore's base was sitting there draining. And…It's apparent to me now that Gore has much better DRAINAGE than Whiteface. Yesterday at the face, there were many spots being washed away by runoff. Gore's seasonal tribs were raging, but the natural layout of the summit bowl and the manmade drainage improvements really keep the water off the trails.
Conditions at Gore, from 8:30-12:30 today were really significantly better than yesterday's at WF. (Hey, I'm just telling it like it is.) I have such a "first tracks" mentality that I find it hard to take it slow and wait for corn to soften. That really didn't matter today. The Gondi ran for almost an hour before they opened the summit, so I hit, in order – Sunway, Showcase and Twister. That was the right order as each trail was basically lightly tracked corduroy, and incredibly smooth. It's great when you are carving corduroy, and your ski is cutting in almost a full ski width. You're on your edges AND your bases. Even my noodly K2s seemed to have some snap.
When they dropped the rope on the summit, I took Uncas as it's in the morning sun more than Pine Knot. It was still very hard due to it's more northern exposure. When I got to the SB quad…I was thinking…maybe I should head down for a few more runs until things got softer up here. Skipat skied in at that moment, and mumbled something to the effect of "awesome." So I went for the top. Hawkeye was groomed and surprisingly almost as soft as the bottom. Second I hit Chatiemac, which hadn't been groomed or skied for 4 days. Joegm would have been proud of Gore offering nice 24″ intermediate bumps on a single black run. Probably the best continuous bump run of my season.
I hit the Double Barrel Jr (under the quad) and ran into another tele guy – Greg – who gave me a five-run lesson. He starts off the conversation…."man you're really a good skier…you've got great balance…but you are leaning way too far back." Tell me something I don't know. He actually gave me some drills to do. We hit Rumor and Lies. I do think the top of Rumor has more pitch than anything on piste at Whiteface. (Slides excepted I'm sure.) The bumps on both Rumor and Lies were perfect spring corn bumps. I've skied Rumor maybe 25 times in my career…probably never did it top to bottom through bumps this big…under this much control. God it was so much fun.
I hit Open Pit which had the only spotty coverage I saw all day. And really it was fine…easy to pick your spots and get through. For my last run from the summit I hit Chatiemac again. My favorite for the day. Did some big GS turns down Tannery… then rode the Topridge Chair and was going to head down. BUT…they dropped the rope on Topridge and at noon I was getting fresh corduroy again. Another soft single black. Back to the top of bear mountain…I took Fairview to Twister… I really savored that final run to the bottom on Twister, hoping I'm not done for the year … What a day.
Whiteface Mtn, NY: 4/9/08
Ski Day 27: After blowing out of work at 2:30 yesterday and driving to our place in North River, I was excited and anxious to get a shot at the slides. It was not to be. We asked whoever we could find…what is up with the slides? Nobody knew, or would say.
After a few runs on the summit quad, ski patrol at the top gave us the bad news…. Slides are closed FOR THE SEASON.
James, his buddy Steve, Patrick and I made the best of it. I didn't look at the map much so I'm not sure of the names of a lot of what we did. But here is what I do know: Slightly overcast but somehow sunny… things were corning up nicely by 9:58 when we loaded onto the facelift. Hit Upper Skyward, Cloudspin and some stuff on Little Whiteface.
One tree run was open, and the cover was dicey. Lost lots of snow since yesterday, according to James and Steve. For me, highlights were the bumps on Upper and Lower Mac, the obstacle course on Empire and Blazers Bluff. By the end of the day we were, at times, water skiing in runoff. My camera died. Possibly in response to some impacts. I did get a few pics out of it.
Oh yea. Patrick RIPS. He's super smooth through big corny bumps. And he THRIVES on steepness. I had a tough time keeping up with both Pat and James and I was whipped by beer thirty. Great to meet those guys – and thanks to them for letting me invite myself along.

jks 1.25" bl questions...
Ive recently been thinking about installing this kit. I want to install a 3" suspension lift later on down the road and thanks to some good advice i figure instead of wasting money on a bb i can just add a 1" body lift to tie me over until then and then use it to go along with the 3" suspension lift. I've got some 31's sitting in my basement now that are ready to be mounted this spring and i'd like to at least get a 1" lift on there to go along with them.
For those who have installed this kit how hard is it to install? I always thought bl's were a PITA but maybe im misinformed. Is there any reason i shouldn't do a body lift? I've also been researching body lift installation for tj's and a few people have said its much easier to relocate the fan shroud rather then install a mml at this point in time. Any thoughts?
The biggest pain in the JKS lift is the 2 snubbers under the grill. Some people have taken hours to put them in. The big secret to them is to just remove the headlight completely (4 bolts and about 2 minutes work) and pull the snubber up into place instead of trying to push it up from the bottom. It took me about 1.5 hours by myself to do mine and that was working at leisurely pace and having a beer or 2 as I go.
The MML can be a pain unless you know the tricks. Follow the instructions all the way up until it has you remove the bolt under the a/c compressor. Instead of doing that. Simply pull the 3 bolts holding the motor mount bracket to the engine and drop the hole mount out the bottom of the engine bay. Install new motor mount and re-assemble. Make sure you loosen the 4 transmission bolts on the transfer case at the beginning and tighten them back down after everything is done. This job goes better with 2 people. Depending on the how easy your bolts come out you can be done in under 2 hours .
I installed a BL very easily. The MML was a bit more of an issue, but still wasn't that bad. Both went in in a couple hours, the MML taking most of the time.
And those two pucks in the back are a breeze if you have small hands :D
took me 1.5 hours to do the 1.25 bl install along with the 1'' mml. with a floor jack and common tools. not hard to do and is easier to "me" to do both of them together than just the bl.
are you doing both the bl/mml or just the bl?
Thanks for the info so far guys, much appreciated! :wavey:
i'd like to avoid doing a mml if i can. I want to keep the cost down and ive heard its not entirely nessesary.
it's only 50 bones for the jks mml
do you have a drill and are you flexable? without the mml you will have to drill new holes into the radiator support to lower the fan shroud.
32 Attachment(s)
my BL kit came with some fan shrould lowering brackets. i didn´t have to drill new holes. but i had to cut a piece out t the fan shrould for the A/C lines.
I installed my BL in about 1 hour with half ass tools from WalMart and a rusted out floor jack that sits outside all year. The mml wasn't to bad except the passenger side because I couldn't get my hands down far enough, the bolts were rusted, and my eyes were swelling shut, and that was the day my glasses were at Lenscrafter. Oh yeah, if you do a mml, make sure you have a grinder available. You'll need it. Unless you want to dull out 7 hacksaw blades like I did.
what did u need to cut orange?
the studs on the stock motor mount. 1/4" off
so 1.25" MML would be perfect then?
tried a sawzall first and almost took my fingers off.
Jeez, careful man, you should have gone to home depot or ace or some hardware store and gotten few grinding wheels for those dremmel tools. 5 bucks and they work on regular hand drills..
yeah, but I don't own a Dremel
buy one
you remember that day with the mml.
I bought a dremel tool 2-3 years ago and i'd say its worth it. I've used it many times. I'd buy it again if i need to.
I did my body lift in about 1 hour with a high lift jack.
Lifted my buddy's TJ in about 1 Hour with a high lift jack
Lifted my buddy's JK in about 1 hour with a high lift jack..
I think you get the idea. And here is a little trick for the front stops, run some fishing line thru the hole, hook up the new stops and then used the fishing line to pull the stops up tight. (hope this part makes sense, easy to do, hard to expain. Also if you spray Windex on the stops before trying to force it into the hole, it will slide in nice and easy and then it evaporates.
If you want more details, just send me a message and I can try to explain better.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the stops. I used wd40, worked fine, just a little messy.
Thanks guys! Im pretty sold on putting in that body lift now, i think it would be a much better investment than a coil spacer lift.
Couple questions though...
One, can i just move my fan shroud and scrap the mml for now?
Two, with just the 1.25" lift what are my chances of getting vibes?
your chances are 100%:D ok just kidding. a bodylift moves the body away from the frame. not the axle down so your chance of gettin vibes from a body lift is ....... 0%. body lift has nothing to do with the suspension of your vehicle. :wavey:
Doing both at the same time will save you time all together as if you do both at the same time you will not need to mess with the fan shroud at all which means no drilling holes. You might not even need to use a drop bracket for the tcase shift linkage.
oh i know it doesnt have anything to do with the suspension, iv'e just heard a few things about vibes under acceleration/going over bumps ect...
nope after BL ur suspension remains the same as it was before the bl.
Thread Jack!--- So if I do a 1.25 BL and a MML I can remove the t-case drop that I have now with my 3" lift?
maybe every jeep is different. you may still need only 1 or 2 washers still
32 Attachment(s)
yah.. i am running like 3.5'' and i have 2 washers in as a tc drop.. the mml is the way to go instead of a tc drop for sure..
at first i didnt want a bl because i thought they were ugly... but thats the first mod id do to any jeep now that i did mine.. i love the jks bl
Do the mml. You'll be happy with it in the end. You won't need the drop bracket for the linkage with the 1.25 BL. I was going to do the fan shroud at first until I realized the mml was easier.I have a little 2" BB right now with the BL and mml and no tcase drop. No vibes. Until next week.....:D

Arsène Wenger has expressed his admiration for Kevin Doyle ahead of Arsenal's trip to Wolves tonight.
The club record-signing was top scorer for Mick McCarthy's side last season and although he has failed to find the back of the net in the Premier League this term Wenger appreciates his unselfish nature and undoubted quality.
A long-time admirer of the Republic of Ireland striker, the manager has again praised the 27-year-old and feels his presence in the Wolves attack should not be overlooked.
"He is generous, intelligent, has good skill and technique and likes to bring other players in [to the game]," the Frenchman told Arsenal.com.
"I like the fact that he is not only a striker but a team player as well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Woman Ticketed For Political Bumper Stickers
Mall Worker Heads To Court In November
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- A Kansas woman said she was ticketed for having political bumper stickers on her car.
On Wednesday, Sara Keiser was cited in connection with campaigning illegally because she parked her car at Metcalf South Mall, which is a polling place during elections.
The law states that no one can campaign within 250 feet of a polling place.
Keiser said she wasn't at the mall to vote or to campaign. She was there to go to work.
"I work here. My office is upstairs. I'm here every single day," Keiser said.
She said someone going to the mall to vote noticed her car parked out front and called police.
"They contacted all kinds of people in Kansas government about what to do. Apparently at one point, they were thinking about towing my car," Keiser said.
The car wasn't towed, but an officer wrote her a ticket.
"The officer seemed as confused as I did and a little uncomfortable," she said. "(The ticket) stated that my car is a campaign vehicle, which obviously took me aback."
She said she prefers to park close to the front doors of the mall, but now she must park around the corner and out of sight of the polling place.
Keiser didn't receive a monetary fine, but she must report to court in November.

I bought this Sunshine conditioner to co-wash because it smelled good. I rinsed it all out & use Tresseme Naturals as my leave in.
Yesterday, I co-washed with it for the first time & I did notice that my hair is much softer than normal. I previously had been co-washing with the coconut, rinse & use my Tresseme then my hair would dry into a crunchy, dry cast.
After reading this thread I'm realizing that maybe my hair is much softer & more moisturized because there's no protein in this one! That makes me so happy. I was starting to think that my Tresseme was no longer working or something but this makes sense. Lol! I've been wanting my hair to be softer & less dry feeling! Who knew? ;-P

Pica – an uncommon eating disorder
Pica is often linked to a certain mineral deficiency such as zinc or iron. It could also be pretty common in people who suffer from poverty and are deprived of food.
If this food disorder was not treated properly, it could be very dangerous to one's health. Some of the diseases that could be gained as a result of continuous intake of nonfood items are: lead poisoning, phosphorus intoxication, mercury poisoning, abdominal problems, and more.
This eating disorder is sometimes practiced with another eating disorder such as anorexia, which makes the risks of having severe health problems even greater. In this case, one should go directly to his doctor so he can take the necessary steps to recovery before one loses his life.

autozone is in business to sell parts, not diagnose cars. remember that, please. the free check will just pull trouble codes, it will not run trouble tree's or they will not do a complete diagnoses. face it most of them are staffed by $8.00 an hour parts counter people, not technicians. find a good local shop and work with them, you get what you pay for.
Re: 98 deville ses lights
First of all, you can pull the codes yourself. Simultaneously press and hold the OFF and WARMER buttons til the dash lights up. The codes will be displayed on the bottom. Most likely you need plugs and wires.
Are you loosing coolant? If not, your head gaskets are likely fine. To confirm head gaskets you need to pressurize each cylinder with shop air and/or pressurize the cooling system.
The lower case half "could" be leaking but be advised it is not under pressure so, if infact it is, it will be nothing more than a niusance seepage and an oily oil pan. Rarely drips to the ground.
Don't panic. Start with plugs and wires. Stick with OEM parts. Very easy to do yourself.
