When used in strict compliance with its “directions for use,” waterless carwash is guaranteed to perform as indicated.  Upon initial use, the bottle will spray properly and the vehicle will shine more than before waterless carwash was applied and water will bead on it.

Years of ongoing test evaluations, quality contol assurances, and hundreds of thousands of field test cases that our satsified customers have given waterless carwash assure its safety and effectiveness.  Enviro-Tech International, however, cannot he held responsible for damage that may occur from improper use of the product.

The DVD movie Body of Lies stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Roger Ferris and Russell Crowe as Ed Hoffman in this terrorist movie.  Ferris is a CIA operative in Iraq trying to track down a terrorist called Al Saleem (Alon Aboutboul), who is responsible for the mastermind of a wave of terrorist attacks.  Ferris is the agencys man on the ground, moving from place to place, scrambling to stay ahead of ever-shifting events. 

At the other end of that real-time link is the CIAs Ed Hoffman, strategizing events from thousands of miles away watching Ferris from a satellite link.

In Jordan, Ferris meets Hani Salaam (Mark Strong), head of the Jordanian General Intelligence Department (GID) who tells Ferris to never lie to him.  He teams up with Ferris in order to get Al Saleem or did they?  

The movie was action packed.  It was your typical terrorist movie.  Lots of explosion, people dying, and you did not know who you could trust.  I would give it a 4 rating.

Only one man can tackle such a high-profile case: Detective Mike Bennett. The pressure is enough for anyone, but Mike also has to care for his 10 children-all of whom have come down with virulent flu at once!

The video game MadWorld has a unique black and white style depicting an incredibly sharp backdrop that straddles graphic novels and 3D worlds.  As players battle opponents, they must master the use of various weapons and items found within their environment, such as chainsaws and street signs, while entertaining sports commentary which adds to the third-person gameplay.

From a third-person perspective, the player controls Jack, a mechanic with a chainsaw on his arm, as he competes in a violent television show.  Control is handled through the Wii Remote and Nunchuk attachment, with the Remote controlling his weapon and the Nunchuk moving Jack.

The Plot — Varrigan City has become a target for a group of terrorists known as “The Organizers”.  The Organizers have taken over the city and transformed it into the setting for a  game show called Death Watch, where the city’s citizens are being forced to fight for their lives against mysterious enemies, for a prize of 100 million dollars.

MadWorld will be released on March 10, 2009.

Alpha Protocol is an upcoming third-person action role-playing video game, developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by SEGA.  The game will be released in February 2009 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.  

The game revolves around the adventures of rookie CIA field agent Michael Thorton.  After a mission goes awry, Michael Thorton is cut off from all of his contacts and betrayed by his superiors and is being hunted by the United States government.  In response, Michael uses the ”Alpha Protocol”, though it is normally reserved for more senior agents, and begins to operate undercover, to uncover the conspiracy.

The tools at the player’s disposal include numerous firearms, hand to hand combat using American Kenpo and spy gadgets.  Players also earn Advancement Points, which can be placed into any of the ten different skills in the game.  These skills will increase Thorton’s ability to use certain weapons and grant different abilities to him.  These abilities are free to use, but require a “cooldown” period before they can be used again.

Alpha Protocol has a hub structure, in which Thorton must utilize safe houses in each of his hub cities in order to lay low between missions.  From a safe house, Thorton can change clothing, access a weapons locker, telephone contacts, and attempt missions.

Thornton will be encountering different characters throughout his missions and depending on his specific reactions to them will determine the bigger picture in the long run so who he aligns with will be particularly tricky since he does not want to let a bad guy go free!

The DVD movie of the week was Max Payne with Mark Wahlberg.  Other actors included Chris O’Donnell, Beau Bridges, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nelly Furtado, and Mila Kunis.

In New York City, Detective Max Payne is a 3 year old veteran working in the Cold Case Unit.  He is a maverick cop with little regard for rules and nothing left to lose.  Hell-bent on revenge, he is determined to track down those responsible for the brutal murder of his wife and child but his obsessive investigation takes him on a nightmarish journey where dark fantasy collides with stark reality.

The movie was action packed from beginning to end.  It had a great storyline in that Payne’s family was murdered and he was hell-bent in finding the murderers.  Other people were being murdered by a wing-shadowed figure.  I would give it 4 stars. 

Nintendo has always been on the forefront of videogame technology. If you grew up loving the NES, you have probably been eagerly following the development of Nintendo ever since. Through all their systems, they have made amazing strides and improvements to the delight of generations of video gamers. And the latest console, the Wii, is truly a huge leap on the technological front. Ever since the Wii made its debut, it has been outselling and outperforming all its competition.

And what makes the Wii so different from systems before? The interactive nature of physically swinging, shaking, and moving the controller truly makes this feel like a bridge between the videogame and the user. Bordering on virtual reality, when you swing your controller, your character swings his sword, and the innovation of this technology has certainly struck a positive chord with many users. And it is this new take on console gaming that has people flocking to purchase so many Wii games. Even if you have all the previous Zelda games, you’ll receive a new thrill by maneuvering Link through his world with the help of your Wii remote and nunchuk.

The majority of people can agree that conservation is more important now than ever before. With that in mind, it can feel like we’re on the verge of having to give up our way of life in order to have a planet to live on at all. But living in a more sustainable way doesn’t mean we have to give up all the luxuries that we enjoy now. Simple things like washing our cars might seem like a frivolous waste of water, but there are ways to enjoy the luxuries of our current lives with the more green-minded tactics of tomorrow.

In this particular instance, you can always use a waterless car wash. This will keep your car looking its best without having to use a tremendous amount of water. Whether you’re interested in helping conserve the world’s water source or you’re just interested in saving money on your water bill, you can actually achieve both by using a waterless car wash. Purchase for yourself or a family member, and you might just start a larger trend in your family of conservation and eco-friendly living.

The book Third Wish was written by Robert Fulghum.  Fulghum was born on June 4, 1937.  He is an American writer primarily writing short essays.  He is an accomplished painter and sculptor and enjoys playing the guitar and mando-cello.  Fulghum has taught drawing, painting, and philosophy at the Lakeside School in Seattle.

The publisher summarizes the story as the following:  in fairy tales, the third wish is the last one left when the first wish was foolish, and the second wish was used to undo the first wish.  Now the remaining wish must be used wisely and well–with the help of co-conspirators. 

The main thread of Third Wish–like Ariadne’s string guiding Theseus into the labyrinth with the Minotaur–begins at a table on a terrace on the Greek Island of Crete, winds its way into the center and back out to the same table, passing through Greece, Japan, France, England, and Seattle.  Its main characters are Alice, Max-Pol, Aleko, Wonko, Zenkichi, Polydora, Alice-Alice, and Dog. 

Woven into the fabric of the novel are cultural history, art, philosophy, archeology, poetry, theater and music.  The mode of the novel is contained in the words Slowly, Surprise, and Witness.  More than anything else, Third Wish is a long love story–not in the usual sense–but the story of people who love life and will go to great lengths to find a flourishing Way onward.
