8 oz DWG Empty Airosol BottleUsing a new compact-size vehicle as an illustration, the 8 oz. AIRosol applicator should yield four polish jobs including glass.

The 32 oz. refill bottle should provide about 16 application; the 64 oz. refill about 32.

Of course, the larger the vehicle, or the worse the condition of the paint, the more waterless carwash product you will use.  But remember, a little goes a long way!

Wii, Please Meet DS

Wii, Please Meet DS

The Wii system supports wireless connectivity with the Nintendo DS without any additional accessories. This connectivity allows the player to use the Nintendo DS microphone and touchscreen as inputs for Wii games. The first example Nintendo has given of a game using Nintendo DS-Wii connectivity is that of Pokémon Battle Revolution. Players with either the Pokémon Diamond or Pearl Nintendo DS games are able to play battles using their Nintendo DS as a controller.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time, released on both the Nintendo DS and Wii, features connectivity in which the two games can advance simultaneously. Nintendo later released the Nintendo Channel, which allows Wii owners to download game demos or additional data to their Nintendo DS in a process similar to that of a DS Download Station. The console is also able to expand Nintendo DS games.

The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the WorldThe book The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World was written by Willard Cleon Skousen.  Skousen (January 20, 1913 - January 9, 2006) was an American conservative author, political commentator, academic, and civil servant.  He was a prominent figure among American conservatives and authored several books on conservative thought.

Skousen graduated from San Bernardino Valley Jr. College in 1935.  Skousen went to work for the Agricultural Adjustment Administration in June 1935.  The following year he joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), where he worked until 1951.

From 1951 to 1955, he taught at Brigham Young University, after which he served as the police chief of Salt Lake City, Utah until 1965.  For the next fifteen years, he edited the police journal, “Law and Order”.  He returned to Brigham Young University as a professor of religion in 1967, retiring in 1978.

Skousen spoke against the socialist-communist conspiracy, and against David Rockefeller.  Skousen claimed that treason had occurred in the U.S. State Department with respect to what he argued was the betrayal of China after World War II. In the 1970s, he gave a speech to an LDS group aboard a cruise ship returning from Israel.  In this excerpt, he speaks of the sham of elections in the United States.  He claimed that for ten elections, the United States had not had a legitimate election where there was truly a choice.  He also referred to what he argued was Chiang Kai-shek’s betrayal.

In his book, Skousen stated that for many years in the United States there had been a gradual drifting away from the Founding Fathers original success formula.  This has resulted in some of their most unique contributions for a free and prosperous society becoming lost or misunderstood.  Therefore, there has been a need to review the history and development of the making of America in order to recapture the brilliant precepts which made Americans the first free people in modern times.

In his book, you will discover the 28 Principles of Freedom our Founding Fathers said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desire peace, prosperity, and freedom.  You will learn how adherence to these beliefs during the past 200 years has brought about more progress than was made in the previous 5000 years.

How to Clean a DVD Properly

How to Clean a DVD Properly

Microfiber cloths are a quick way to clean a DVD. These are the same kind of cloths people use to clean eyeglasses, monitors, and laptop or LCD monitors. Because of microfiber’s very tight weave and the synthetic materials used to make microfiber, dust and particles of dirt are attracted and lifted up into the microfiber, which prevents you from simply spreading the dust around and scratching the DVD further. Every serious DVD collector should have one of these and wash it regularly.

Rubbing Alcohol is also used to clean DVDs and just about every sensitive piece of technology out there because it doesn’t act like strong solvents do, and it evaporates quickly without leaving a residue. Usually a 1:1 mixture of 90%+ Isopropyl alcohol and water will do the trick. Simply dab a small, clean cotton cloth into the mixture and wipe in straight lines from the center of the DVD to the outside edge. To dry the DVD, just let it sit for a moment or two in a vertical position.

Punisher: War ZoneThe DVD movie Punisher: War Zone stars Frank Castle (Ray Stevenson), Billy Russoti /Jigsaw (Dominic West),  Agent Paul Budiansky (Colin Salmon), and James (Doug Hutchison)…aka…”Loony Bin Jim.”Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante-hero Frank Castle sets his sights on overeager mob boss, Billy Russoti.  After Russoti is left horribly disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw.  
With the “Punisher Task Force” hot on his trail and the FBI unable to take Jigsaw in, Frank must stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before more of his evil deeds go unpunished.
The movie was Rated R.  It was very violent from start to finish.  Too violent for me.  But nonetheless it was a good movie.  I give it four stars.

Nintendo Wii Gaming Systems

Nintendo WiiThe Nintendo Wii Gaming System was released on November 19, 2006.   The name Wii was created because the company wanted something that was short, to the point, easy to pronounce, and distinctive.  That’s how ‘Wii,’ as a console name, was created.

Nintendo’s spelling of “Wii” with two lower-case “i” characters is meant to resemble two people standing side by side, representing players gathering together, as well as to represent the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

The Wii launch package includes the console, a stand to allow the console to be placed vertically, a circular clear stabilizer for the main stand, one Wii Remote, one Nunchuk attachment, one Sensor Bar, a removable stand for the bar, one external main power adapter, two AA batteries, one composite AV cable with RCA connectors, a SCART adapter in European countries (component video and other types of cables are available separately), operation documentation, and, in all regions except Japan and South Korea, a copy of the video game Wii Sports.
