The job of shampoo is to clean the hair, so it’s not surprising that the main ingredient in nearly all shampoos is detergent. After a while, vacuuming just isn’t enough to get it truly clean-and that’s when a deep clean is in order. Some of the worst examples of ARD are at metal mine sites, especially where pyrite-bearing rock and waste material have been mined from deep underground and then piled up and left exposed to water and oxygen. Dance, yoga, martial arts, gymnastics, rock climbing, hiking, kickboxing — even a walk outside is a good start. A new grille with fewer but thicker horizontal bars was the chief styling cue for 1938, but more mechanical changes made a good car even better. Besides good performance and sleek good looks, Century was attractively priced: as little as $1035 for the sport coupe and $1135 for the rakish convertible. The natty Century convertible sport phaeton sold for just $1713, the sport coupe for $1175. This year saw the final Century model; Super and Roadmaster versions would run one year more. Buffalo’s Brunn was also still doing customs in 1940, including one fairly conventional town car on the Roadmaster platform.

Priced above them — and still with the brawny 320.2-cid eight — were Century (60) and Roadmaster (now Series 70) on 126-inch chassis, plus two Limited lines: 133-inch-wheelbase Series 80 and 140-inch Series 90 (the latter confined to long sedans and limousines). Engines choices were reduced for ’36 from four to just two. All-coil suspension — another Buick first — delivered a much-improved ride, aided by shock absorbers four times the typical size. Model groups expanded from four to six for 1940 with the addition of the Series 50 Super (another enduring name). The public responded to this package by buying more than 168,000 Buicks for the model year. Buicks of the ’40s reflected the division’s period slogan “Valve in Head — Ahead in Value”: big but reasonably priced cars that were a bit ostentatious. Throughout the decade, Buick usually ran fourth behind the “Low-Price Three” (Chevy, Ford, Plymouth), building upwards of 300,000 cars a year. Mechanically, the bigger eight returned unchanged, but a longer stroke boosted Special’s engine to 248 cid, horsepower to an even 100. Factory figures suggested a ’37 Special could scale 10-60 mph in 19.2 seconds — fine performance for the class and only a second behind the hot Century.

Over the course of 44 years under the leadership of Mat Brainerd, our family business has expanded from a local reagent supplier to being recognized as a top 100 U.S. Prices ranged from $945 for the 1938 Special business coupe to near $2500 for the opulent eight-passenger Limited limo. Through 1939, the series included six- and eight-passenger sedans and a limousine. Low sales had been thinning the ranks of convertible sedans. Lincoln-Zephyr saw just 14 copies in the Series 80. More popular was the $1952 Series 80 convertible sedan (phaeton) with conventional lines, though only 250 were called for. Most flamboyant was the convertible coupe, offered to dealers for $3500. For big spenders, Brunn still offered custom-bodied Limiteds, though far fewer than in the halcyon pre-Depression days. A high-quality bladeless fan is quieter, more powerful, safer to use, uses less electricity, and truthfully is just a better looking fan to sit out in your living room 365 days a year. Fabric softeners were invented in the mid-20th century to make clean clothes more pleasant to touch; and later, chemicals were added to help reduce static cling.

He said both the state and federal EPA will be monitoring the air quality to make sure it remains safe for nearby residents. SACRAMENTO – The California Air Resources Board today approved updates to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) that channel global, national and local private sector investment towards increasing cleaner fuel and transportation options for consumers, accelerating the deployment of zero-emission infrastructure, and keeping the state on track to meet legislatively mandated air quality and climate targets. Either they pour water on the fire to reduce the temperature, or they try to bulldoze strips of bare earth to eliminate the fuel. Hot water extraction equipment may be a portable electrical units, or for large jobs truck mount carpet cleaner with long hoses may be used as this may be faster and more effective than portable equipment. Instead of pumping excessive amounts of water into your carpet and attempting to suck it back out. Lugging out the big vacuum can be a real chore, but if you have a small cordless one that’s easy to grab so you can suck up those crumbs under the table, you’ll be much more likely to do it as soon as you see them hit the floor.
