Alloy wheels Maintenance Tips

ALLOY wheels are one of the best things that can happen to your set of wheels. While conventional wheels are quite competent and up to the job, a smart set of alloys not only increase the visual appeal of your motor but enhance performance slightly by the virtue of having a lesser weight, stiffer resistance to deformation and lower rolling resistance. But like all normal components of a vehicle, even alloy wheels need looking after for good performance and enhancement of aesthetics.

The most important thing to do, of course, is to keep the wheels clean. Dust and grime tend to accumulate on wheels, which in turn spoils the show... one of the main reasons as to why one would like alloy wheels on the car. Clean your alloys with a rag and a mild soap solution. Do not use harsh or acidic cleaners as they could disfigure the finish of the wheels. Tough dirt should be removed using a slightly more abrasive cleaner. The other thing to do is to drive your car carefully. The contradiction here is that alloy wheels are meant to be stronger and lighter than conventional steel wheels, so bad road surfaces should not worry them. But, in reality, most of the fancy alloys available in India are imported from Taiwan, and other such places, and some of these wheels do not meet stringent quality standards. There are indigenously manufactured alloys too, from companies like Synergies Dooray and Hindalco, which may not offer the choice of designs the imported ones do but are a better choice in terms of quality of manufacture and resistance to cracks and deformations.

Like all normal wheels, alloy wheels need to be balanced and aligned. However, conventional weights should not be used for wheel balancing, as specific alloy weights are available. Any good tyre shop should be able to take care of the balancing and wheel alignment but this should not be ignored and should be carried out every 10,000 kilometres or as per the schedule given for your vehicle. If you have just finished a long outstation journey where you drove over particularly rough stretches of road, it could also be a good idea to get your wheels checked for cracks or deformations. Alloy wheels are particularly well suited for the use of tubeless tyres and since tubeless tyres depend on the bonding with the wheel rim for air sealing, any change in the shape could lead to tyre deflation... not a very pleasant thing to happen!

How to Start a Online Auction Business?

Online auction businesses are very simple to start. To start an ebay business, for example, all you need is a registered account with ebay, and a paypal account. The ebay account will allow you to perform transactions on their website. The paypal account will allow you to accept payment for items that you sell, as well as pay for the ebay fees. Although you can technically take payments through check or money order, using paypal makes the process a whole lot faster and more enjoyable for your customers.

The fees involved with running an ebay business are minimal compared to having your own store on a separate website. While hosting for a website can cost upwards of $20 per month, ebay only charges you a small percentage of the items that you sell.

Dance And Dance Lesson and You

Learning to dance is fun—and it is easy. In a sense it is like learning a new language in which moods and emotions are expressed in movement; a language of rhythm, grace and harmony. It is new—but in a very real sense it is the oldest language in the world, for dancing is the oldest form of art.
Dancing gives expression to a deeply rooted emotion in man so profound as to border on reverence. This is evidenced by the fact that some early dances were a part of religious rites.
The Bible mentions dancing in numerous places—one of the most frequently quoted verses being that taken from the 150th Psalm: "Praise ye the Lord in all your songs and dances."

Dancing is a wholesome, natural outlet for the emotions. It develops grace and poise, timing and balance. Men take pride in their ability to lead their partners with assurance and poise. Girls enjoy the ability to follow their partners smoothly, expertly and correctly. The ability to dance develops personality, and above all—it is fun.

How to Treat Dandruff

Use a shampoo designed to treat dandruff. If dandruff die hard despite regular shampooing, you may need rather accented. There are a variety of anti-dandruff shampoos available at your pharmacy or grocery store, and they usually work. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, and make a little extra time to shower, as most of these recommend that you leave them in for 5-10 minutes and lather twice. If the anti-dandruff shampoos seem to not work you can also try a shampoo which contains tea tree oil, this natural oil helps moisturize your scalp and keep the flakes away. (You can also add tea tree oil to your shampoo yourself. Add 5 or 6 drops to begin with.)

Be patient. While anti-dandruff shampoos may produce results after a few uses, it can take a week or two to see the difference.

Switch it up. If one type of anti-dandruff shampoo doesn't seem to work, or if it works for a time but then doesn't, switch to a product with another active component (the active ingredient will be labeled on the bottle).
