Before the 1920s it was an easy decision, a foot-powered push scooter or none at all. But once Gino Tsai from Shanghai, Taiwan developed the Razor scooter it changed everything. His motor scooters became popular so quickly there were people waiting in line for six months before they could get one.

In the 1950s companies like Vespa in the UK started selling the first of their gas motor scooters. It was a big hit at the 1950 Motorcycle Show and quickly became a big hit in the UK as well. Vespa sold over 125,000 in the UK between the years of 1950 to 1958. Piaggio from Vespa and Lambretta from Innocenti started selling their models in Italy and France too, quickly becoming the vehicles that everyone had to own. By the early 1950s the sale of motor scooters topped 1 million a year in France alone. Because of its popularity other countries such as France and Germany decided to get in on the boom by manufacturing their own models.

Today, after more than 50 years since the first gas scooters appeared, there are many different makes and models. We have electric, gas powered, foldable, mobility and utility motor scooters dotting the globe. There are specialized scooters for just about every task. They have become a worldwide phenomenon because they are cheap to own, economical to operate, are very handy and functional, and most of all they are a lot of fun. But with all of the makes and models which one is right for you?

Let’s start with the different types. Gas motor scooters are the fastest around. They will take you longer distances and reach higher speeds than any of the other varieties. There are smaller and lighter models that will be perfect for running errands around town while the larger and heavier touring models will take you on longer trips. Plus, the larger the gas tank the farther you can travel before needing to stop at a service station.

Electric varieties are a little more economical to run, but will usually travel only about 10 or 15 miles before needing a recharge. Their battery capacity has improved dramatically over the years, but they cannot be taken for long trips due to the fact that their batteries will need recharging periodically. However, for short trips around the city they are wonderful little vehicles. Plus, most scooters have a large storage capacity under the seat so they are ideal for trips to the grocery store or for other light shopping sprees.

The elderly or handicapped typically use what is referred to as mobility scooters. These are usually electric models and have 3 or 4 wheels for extra stability. These models give the elderly or disabled the ability to get about in their homes or around the neighborhood more easily. Without mobility scooters many of the disability-impaired would be confined to their beds.

Another very popular type is the foldable scooter. These are very small and are made for short trips around town. They are particularly popular among the younger crowds. The beauty of these models is that they are extremely compact and can be folded for storage in small places. If you work just a few miles from your home you can travel to work on your folding scooter and then fold it up and put it underneath your desk at work. Very handy.

There are also utility scooters which can be used for many different purposes. They can be used as golf carts or for hauling things. Many big businesses use these types for getting around their factories. Schools use them for driving through the parking lot, checking for cars that shouldn’t be there. Major league sports stadiums use them to drive people from one place to another. These are wonderful vehicles that can be used for a variety of reasons.

Once you’ve decided which type is right for your needs the next step is to figure out what options, if any, you would like included on your vehicle. Of course you can choose from many different colors and designs, but there are other options available to you. You can choose from the many varieties of covers, locks (for security), cases or side bags for storage, helmets, seats, handgrips, windshields or windscreens, backrests for touring, chrome kits, rear luggage racks and many more options. The list of accessories can go on for quite some time.

As a rule of thumb first choose the type of scooter you want, whether it be electric, gas, foldable or utility. This is the easy part because the type you purchase will depend upon your needs. Once that decision has been made look at several popular models in your area and decide which one looks and feels right to you. Most have accessories that are manufactured for a specific model so accessories cannot be decided upon until you know which motor scooter you are going to buy. Once you’ve decided which accessories you want for the model you chose it’s a simple matter of driving your scooter out of the dealership. And it’s nothing but fun from there on out.

The Internet has been touted as the greatest resource for the used car buyer. Prospective buyers can find trade-in, private party, and retail values in a heartbeat. The question to consider, however, is what Internet source is right? The three major sites: NADA, Edmunds, and Kelly Blue Book are clamoring to be the Trusted Authority on used car values. Yet price discrepancies are frequently in the $1000’s from site to site. Which web site, if any, is the most accurate source for the used car buyer?

To illustrate the discrepancies, here’s an everyday example: NADA may retail a 2003 SAAB 9-5 Linear at $15,996, Kelly Blue Book prices it at $17,456, and Edmunds prices it at $14,800. These are all retail values, assuming excellent or clean condition. $17,456 minus $14,800 is a $2,656 difference. That’s a huge price difference in the highly competitive used car market.

The retail values placed on many vehicles by these web sites can have even larger price differences – some as high as $4000 to $8000 dollars. These gigantic price fluctuations can leave a used car buyer spending $1000’s extra, depending on which guide he or she used. Moreover, private party and trade-in sale prices do not accurately account for vehicle condition, and less than 5% qualify as excellent.

Vehicle condition is a critical variable. An owner might think his trade-in is in stunning condition and thus worth X, based on his Internet research. An expert may know it needs $1000’s in repairs and reconditioning costs.

The answer to “whose prices are right” is that none of the big three web sites reflect used car prices accurately. Most often, the prices are too high on the retail side, questionable on the trade-in side, and confusing on the private side.

So what or who is the real authority? The answer is the Market! The market (i.e., the folks grinding it out everyday in the used car market place – sellers and buyers) reflect true market value. Web sites are guides only. The used car prices from these sources need to be measured against the reality of the market.

Here’s a scenario to illustrate the importance the market plays on used car values. In the Northeast, the banks rely on NADA, used car dealers prefer to use Kelly Blue Book, and used car buyers are turning more and more to Edmunds. Now the dealer will likely want to use the inflated (Excellent condition) Kelly Blue Book value. The buyer wants an unrealistic Edmunds price, and the bank wants to use an under-valued NADA price. In other words, the three primary people in the car buying process – the buyer, the seller, and the lender, are all on different pages. Each player wants the most advantageous price based on the part he or she is playing. The market is the only element that evens the playing field. The point here is to demonstrate that the market is the true source to determine a REAL and FAIR used car value.

In order to get a fair price, according to the market, a used car buyer should aim for the middle. Avoid the highest prices and be realistic and flexible about the lowest. Stay somewhere in the middle to get a fair deal.

If you want a great deal, follow the market closely. If buying from a retailer, eBay and auction prices don’t count, as these are wholesale venues. Check out Cars.com, AutoTrader.com, and some of the other Used Car Sources. See what the vehicle you want (including miles, equipment and accessories) is being advertised for. Again, shoot for the middle!

Use the popular Internet resources, but don’t follow them blindly. You may actually pay significantly more than market value.

Having said all this, this doesn’t mean that used car dealers are going to stop trying to low ball trade-in offers. And of course every dealer wants to sell its vehicles for a maximum. But remember, the same goes for car owners, but in reverse. They want the highest price for a trade and the lowest retail price on a vehicle.

When using Internet sources to determine a used car value, be sure to enter the correct information. This may sound elementary, but option packages, models, miles, color, equipment, engine, transmission, gear ratios…etc, can be confusing. Yet these are important variables that will affect prices dramatically. In short, the wrong information skews the numbers.

Finally, what really needs to be highlighted with NADA, Edmunds, and Kelly, as well as other Internet sources, is that they are GUIDES. They are excellent resources for vehicle information, but weak resources for prices. This is not to bad mouth any of these sites – they are great starting points. Remember, however, that these guides may or may not be in the car buyer’s favor. Fair used cars prices are dictated by the market. Yes, do your research on the Net, but don’t cling to it. Use the Internet only to find the used car market’s middle ground.

There is this friend of mine facing a problem that is causing him many a sleepless night. It is to do with his car; the car in question has been with the family for a long time. It has served well for many years and as of now, it has started showing signs of aging. The gears do not work properly and the engine takes a lot of time starting every day. After a lot of deliberation, my friend realised the futility of keeping the vehicle with him. He surveyed all the different options available and decided on car salvage.

What my friend did was nothing exceptional. A lot of car owners in different parts of the world are also disposing their salvage cars in scrap yards and getting paid for the same. This act is beneficial to different categories of people  – albeit in different ways. First and foremost, the scrap cars or salvage cars are disassembled and that too without polluting the environment in any way. Secondly, the salvage car owners are paid their due depending upon the condition of their scrap cars. Also, the spare parts and auto parts that are in working condition are separated from old and dilapidated salvage cars and refurbished to be sold later on.

While helping my friend in the process, I too discovered several facts about car salvage and scrap yards . Many of these entities offer tow away services so that you do not need to bring your battered car to the area where it is to be dismantled. The best junk yards are those that come with the proper licenses and work according to the local law of the land. In the UK, to take a specific case in point, the scrap yards need to follow a well laid out process when it comes to dismantling used cars. The scrap cars are disassembled without effecting the environment in a harmful manner. People in the UK would be better of by selecting authorised treatment facilities having valid licenses for transfer of wastes, when it comes to selling their scrap cars.  

There are quite a few scrap yards in different parts of the world that have a web presence and come with vehicle collection service. As car owners, you can approach them for car salvage, vans, or vehicles that have been damaged in accidents. Typically, you would have to fill in certain details pertaining to the vehicles that you are bringing in for sale. The price is then negotiated upon and once a consensus is reached on this, the scrap yards would make arrangements to collect the vehicle in question.

So, all you people out there who are burdened with old and worn out cars and do not know what to do, now have help at hand. You can approach a scrap yard that is located where you live and sell your car to these people after of course checking out their credentials. To know more about auto salvage, scrap car removal, and other services delivered by scrap yards, you can visit sellusyourcar.

Mushrooms are a form of fungus as we are all aware. There are edible mushrooms and there are also the poisonous ones. Besides these two types of mushrooms magic properties have been given to one particular type. This mushroom goes by the name of psychedelic mushrooms.

These particular mushrooms magic properties are mainly hallucinogenic. For this reason many countries around the world have very strict controls placed on the use of these mushrooms. People who have eaten these mushrooms state they feel as if they were having a really good and warm feeling. The world about them is seen in a different manner.

This is not an unusual state for uses of mushrooms magic users have experienced this feeling too. To make sure that the narcotic reactions from the mushrooms are not that potent or harmful these magic users will only use the psychedelic mushrooms for necessary reasons. Also the dosage that is used will be sufficient for the ritualistic purpose. This however is not the case with the users of Western cultures.

There have been reports of people experiencing feelings of coldness, disorientation, numbness in the mouth and other facial features can be felt. Besides these effects there are other such as pupil dilation, swollen features, and stiffness in the limbs.

Since these are reactions that can be felt by any one who consumes these mushrooms magic users need to see what their countries legal laws have to say about the possession, growth and use of these psychedelic mushrooms.

Strange as it may seem there is a loophole in the laws that govern the sale and use of these mushrooms. At the moment some countries will allow these mushrooms to be grown for personal use but the mushrooms that are used must be of the fresh variety. For various groups of people who use these mushrooms magic rituals will need to be prepared well in advance as the mushrooms can only be harvested and eaten when they are still fresh.

Now before we proceed any further a word of cautions should be made. In the first case as most of us have little to no experience of mushroom varieties that are edible, you should take lots of care about eating one of these mushrooms magic in property or not.

Next while some of your rituals may state the need for using these psychedelic mushrooms you will need to understand what the legal laws have to say about these mushrooms. The final item of caution about the use of these mushrooms is that while they are safe in small fresh doses, they can be very fatally deadly at higher and dried, crushed, brewed as a tea or even in a powdered form.

For these many different reasons if you can avoid taking these mushrooms you will have a safer life. While these mushrooms magic are closely connected it is best to leave them in the hands of shamans, the healers of tribes that still use the ancient arts.

Engine failure in cars can happen for a variety of different reasons. The most common reason why an engine would fail is due to lack of routine care. There are components that not only wear down and have to be replaced on a regular basis, fluid levels that have to be checked routinely. Vehicles that aren’t maintained properly can cause an engine to fail for a number of reasons.

One reason you should do a routine check is there are many filtering mechanisms on a vehicles engine. These regulate the purity of things like gasoline, air into the carburetor and engine oil. Without changing these regularly they will clog up, making your engine work harder than it has to maintain the same performance. You also have to regularly clean the radiator for both the engine and the transmission.

You have to check fluid levels often. There are many different engine components that require lubrication, coolants and fluids all to maintain a cars performance. More recently made vehicles also have added features like air conditioning units, electronic components, and other things that require even a greater more complex regime. Just checking and maintaining a car’s fluid levels either. Build up occurs over time, in the motor, gas tank, radiator, and any other place where deposits will collect. If these systems are not flushed out at least once a year, deposit will build up, making the engine run hotter, and wear out faster.

If a vehicle isn’t maintained properly, here just a few of the possible scenarios that can cause engine failure. Too high of a temperature in the motor causes the metal to expand, creating less and less ability for internal components to move. What happens simply is that if your engine gets hot enough for something to stick, like a piston, or a valve, your engine doesn’t just stop; the force will cause it to keep going. Something has to give, the side of the motor block, the head, and a number of different ways, depending on where the failure was.

Another way an engine can fail through heat is that when the metal expands, the integrity of the metal itself can be compromised, causing the head to crack or warp. The instant result of this is a sudden loss of engine pressure. Without engine pressure you could have your foot on the gas pedal and only go five miles and hour. You may get lucky on occasion, and only blow a head gasket, or an engine plug. Gaskets and plugs are designed to blow if there is too much heat and pressure, but that doesn’t mean that you have done irreparable damage Aluminum heads are especially prone to cracking and warping because they expand a lot faster than as iron cast one.

What can you do to prevent this from happening? While not all engine failure is caused by neglect, you have got to do regular checks, monthly routines, and periodic flushes. This means things like changing spark plugs, wires, and other electrical components on a regular basis. Change and replace filters and motor oil at least according to the minimum requirements by the manufacturer, or more often depending on usage. Flush out fuel systems, brake lines, coolant systems at least once a year. Check your vehicles motor often, maybe at the same time fluid levels are monitored, to see if there are any leaks in hoses, loose belts, or anything else that is out of place. Also make sure that these belts and hoses are still in good working condition, and replace if necessary. Always change out worn belts and hoses all at the same time. If one belt looks worn and needs to be replaced, chances are the other belts may be as well – don’t let looks deceive you.

There are many people out there that are unable to do this all themselves. Whether being hurt in an accident, or an older person, or even if someone that isn’t mechanically inclined, it still needs to get done. There are several different vehicle services available and many you could find locally. Some offer specialized services, like engine coolant, oil and lubrication specialists. These businesses will check and replace fluids, change filters, as well as many others. Usually they aren’t a repair shop so they don’t replace hoses belts and the like, but they do check these sometimes as well, and can tell you if something does need replacement.

There are other car specialists that do engine, coolant and heating system flushes, as well as transmissions. Generally, vehicle repair shops are equipped to handle engine and performance issues. They can replace spark plugs, belts, as well as a number of other things.

A major part of playing with or collecting Lego has been the fun minifigure designs. Whether they are representations of characters we know from books or films, fantastical figures of Lego’s imagining from space and beyond or small plastic versions of regular people throughout history and the contemporary world, the minifig has always symbolised Lego’s fun and playable style.

In 2010 Lego is taking this love for their little people and is releasing a series of single minifigures designed to be sold as stand-alone and collectable pieces. The first wave of the Lego Collectable Minifigures, released in May 2010, included 16 figures that come with a range of different looks and accessories.

They are limited edition pieces that will be phased out of production after a time and with their unique designs and low price point are designed to be swapped and traded amongst fans and will no doubt demand high prices on the secondary market. They are offered for sale in small opaque plastic bags and it is not possible to determine what is contained inside. All of this of course increases Lego’s brand awareness and reputation worldwide.

The first wave of figures include a Demolition Dummy, Forest man, Cowboy, Super Wrestler, Zombie, Ninja, Cheerleader, Skater, Tribal Hunter, Circus Clown, Magician, Deep Sea Diver, Robot, Nurse, Caveman or Spaceman. They are all highly distinctive and alot of fun. Early polls online indicate that fans are favouring the Cheer Leader, Forestman and the Zombie as highlights of this wave.

If you are wondering whether this is just a rehash of old figures keep in mind that the vast majority of the body parts (hair, torso, legs, heads) and accessories (syringes, trumpet, pom poms, etc) are brand new. That is they have never been used for sets before and given the limited nature of these figures, chances are they may not be used in the future.

For young and adult fans this means that they can now create caveman scenes for the first time or recreate the zombie scenes from “Shaun Of The Dead” or “28 Days” with authentic Lego body bits. At $2 per figure it is such an accessible way for fans to expand their Lego collection in a satisfyingly fun and highly addictive way.

There are many misconceptions about what you need to be considered under CDL. Think if your bucket truck has air brakes you need a CDL? What about if you have a 42′ or taller boom? If your truck is 24′ or longer you need a CDL right? Well, if you answered yes to any of these, you would be wrong.

 A commercial driver’s license is needed for vehicles based on weight. To be required to have CDL, your truck and/ or load must weigh more than 26,000 lbs. This goes by GVW or gross vehicle weight. That means, bucket trucks or digger derricks with a GVW of 26,000 will be legal to operate without a commercial driver’s license.

The GVW is determined by the manufacturer. If you are pulled over by authorites and weighed, they cannot write the ticket based on their measurements but must go by the manufacturers calculations. Be warned, if you are driving a vehicle that carries more than fifteen passengers you need a CDL. Becareful when traveling through different states. The weight limit above is the federal guide, states can change their requirements without notice and you could be stuck with a hefty fine or worse. It is wise to check with the states department of motor vehicles before driving.

This should cover most of your bucket truck and digger derrick CDL questions. If you have any more please leave them in the comments section and I will respond as soon as possible. If you are looking to buy a bucket truck, pressure digger, digger derrick, or boom truck under CDL, please visit any of the links on this page.

She sells seashells at the seashore seashell sale. Repeat three times in 5 seconds. Didn’t we all tried our hands on this and similar lovely tongue twisters as kids! While writing on my favourite subject I was tempted to use this TT (tongue twister)again, after ages. It feels good to recollect happy memories of the past.
Anyways, I was saying that we as humans have found interesting ways of using almost everything for something other than its natural purpose and sea shells are no exception. There is a whole bunch of nice items that can be carved out of seashells, like lamps, mirrors, wall hangings and many more.
On my trip to Goa the thing I most enjoyed (besides sunbathing) was collecting sea shells. My husband took to this hobby and added to my already burgeoning bag more than I did. Returning home I searched for ideas to make use of these shells. Two I implemented immediately. I had a beautiful crystal vase which was a wedding gift. The vase was lying useless because I didn’t find time to look for flowers suitable to put in it. Instead now I arranged different types of big and small shells in it and it really made a beautiful decorative piece.
Second, I draw a picture of peacock and pasted small shells on it and then colored them. Later I used this idea when I started working with kindergarten kids, I would draw small pictures and put glue on outline and kids will put shells and press them. Then they will show off to other older students.
Later in my free time I improvised and made use of things lying around in the house. Here are a few ideas of how to use seashells without many hassles.
– Buy cheap pillar candles, I liked the white. Use the tip of your hot glue gun to melt a spot on the candle and press a shell into the wax. You just have to hold it until the wax starts to set. If you do the bottom half of the candle this way and then tie a piece of raffia ribbon around the center it makes for a nice accent piece in a bathroom or anywhere.
-You can glue them around a flower pot to make it decorative.
-Drill some holes and string them and make a wind chime (add some driftwood pieces to this if you have them)
-Glue onto a soap dispenser for an ocean theme bathroom
-Hang your large shell on the wall using wire plate hangers
-Make a seashell magnet. Make sure your sea shells are clean and dry. You can paint them or leave them natural. Glue the sea shell to a small magnet! Let dry and stick to your fridge, lockers, or other metal surface!
-For making wind chime, use string to make dowels into an ‘X’ shape. Glue shells onto several different lengths of string. Let dry about a day. Tie string with shells to dowel rods at all four corners and some between. Hang somewhere you, your friends, and neighbors can all see it and enjoy it. It will also give you a chance to tell everyone about your adventures in collecting your treasures.
– Toothpicks: Make your ordinary toothpicks look fancy and graceful by adorning them with shells. Small shells will come in handy here. Just glue the inside of a small shell and put the rear of the toothpick there and press it till it is safely joined.
– Bookmarks: Take a muslin rope or you can make one using craft threads and braiding them. Drill a hole in a small and fancy shell and pull the thread through the shell. You can add some colorful beads too.

Better Save than Sorry – A Bucket Truck Safety Tip

One of the biggest issues facing linemen and other crewmembers that spend their days working out of a bucket truck is safety. Bucket trucks are generally customized to deal with very specific types of work. On occasion a maintenance company will be forced, by circumstance, to use a particular bucket truck from their fleet for a job that it wasn’t designed for. Sure the job can be done using the truck, but is it worth the risk.

Take for example a lighting maintenance worker that spends most of his time in a bucket truck replacing spent bulbs from light poles in a parking lot, who is now asked to replace a damaged light pole. The problem is, the maintenance company does not have a properly equipped pole truck to handle the job and instead use a jib/wench attached to their bucket truck to take down the old pole and put up the new one.

Without checking the load rating on the truck’s boom and the hydraulics it is impossible to know what the rig can safely handle. Even though, in most cases, the job can be done – the question remains: “Is it safe?” OSHA has issued guidelines relating to the proper use of bucket trucks as well as other variations in this particular class of specialized utility vehicles. The OSHA standards deal with minimum safety requirements and should be adhered to whenever operating a bucket truck or similar vehicles.

Several years ago the American Public Power Association released an eight-part DVD series that provided safety training specifically geared for public power utilities. One of the volumes deals with the safe operation of bucket trucks and covers topics including equipment inspection, precautions to prevent falling and rescue procedures. Several other companies have produced similar safety videos.

It is always a good idea to review the specs for a particular vehicle and the tools and accessories that will be used to perform a specific task. Know the OSHA guidelines and if available, review any safety videos on hand. Bucket trucks are versatile machines that are able to do a variety of tasks. But without knowing the limitations of the equipment it may be difficult to avoid a hazardous situation. When purchasing a new or used bucket truck, it is always recommended to work with a reliable dealer who can review the manual and go over any safety issues before concluding the sale.

As one fellow put it, I know a lot of old linemen, as well as my share of careless linemen, but I can’t recall ever meeting an old careless lineman.
