Old lovers’ energy sticks around in our energy fields. I don’t mean elderly lovers, although that can certainly be the case! What I am about to relate may seem very odd and impossible, but most psychics can tell you it is real-creepy, but real. When we have sexual relations with someone, it creates an energy cord. Males have energy tentacles which get attached to the second and third chakra areas usually. The first and fourth can be involved too, and occasionally the seventh.
If you are not familiar with the chakra system, that translates into the area between pubis and belly button and belly button and bottom of the ribs for the second and third chakras. The first is the base of the spine and the fourth is the heart. The seventh is the crown of the head and the pineal gland. The whole problem of this energetic attachment process is that your energy is then sucked from you via these cords, until you die. The ancient methods for detaching such cords involve the ‘sweeping breath’ which requires you to remember every moment of energy exchange between you and that person, and take your energy back.
The other remedy-for those who can’t remember-involves a seven year period of celibacy (no sex of any kind, no sexual stimulation of any kind-including fantasizing), which causes the tentacles to drop off due to not being fed. At about the third year of the celibacy (or sooner, depending on the person), the energy tentacles start feeling the starvation and will stimulate the person to think of or engage in sexual activities. A major period of horniness ensues, driving most well-meaning celibates to end said celibacy as quickly as possible.
The easier, modern way to get rid of those tentacles is a process known as “cutting the cords”, where the person visualizes the other attached person and consciously imagines cutting all the cords and then lighting the ends on fire, like an explosive charge, and burning out all connections. The person on the other end usually feels this disconnection and will call or drop by to see the victim, hoping to reconnect those cords.
The important thing, whatever method used, is to say a little prayer, forgiving and blessing that person and releasing them to go on their way. Once you have done so with every lover you have been with, you are free to start a new relationship. This ‘cutting the cords’ technique also tends to decrease the impetus to cheat on your new lover…which is definitely healthier for any relationship.

Merle Temple – Last of the Boy Scouts
Merle Temple…Last of the Boy Scouts, Part 1
“I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused…” Graham Greene, The Quiet American
Merle Temple, quintessential choir boy, most courteous in high school, American Legion award winner, and boy scout, wandered in to the contentious political minefield of Atlanta in 2001 like some modern day Don Quixote looking for windmills to joust with to salve the ache of the missed adventure he passed up when President Ronald Reagan offered him a job in the White House all those years ago. But, it just didn’t work out as he had planned–no, not at all.
Temple, the descendant of Puritans, was a pillar of the Augusta Georgia community and the leading fundraiser and chairman for non-profits in town. He also was an anti-establishment crusader and lone ranger always searching for new dragons to slay. He had grown tired of his cushy job as a successful BellSouth public relations director, where an executive said he lived “not on the cutting edge, but the bleeding edge.” His search for the ultimate fight had already left him bleeding from managing what was called the “biggest upset in Georgia political history in fifty years.”
State Rep. Robin Williams was a mover and shaker in Georgia politics. Despite threats from the local newspaper and incumbent politicians, Temple, with quiet help from Congressman Charlie Norwood, raised money and managed a newcomer’s campaign against the heavily favored Williams who did not carry a single precinct when the dust settled. Temple earned some first class enemies including the Augusta Chronicle editorial staff, who supported Williams who brought home the bacon for their billionaire publisher, and Georgia Republican Congressmen, who hated to see any incumbent lose.
Temple’s employer summoned him to Atlanta to tell him that he had angered powerful allies in the legislature, and local media pals of Williams–a local newspaper editor and radio talk show host. Temple, who had won every BellSouth award in his department, was told by Georgia President Phil Jacobs that he must surrender his first amendment rights. Rather than dare them to enforce that edict as he should have, he was disheartened, demanded a severance package, and retired.
Norwood came to his rescue and tried to secure the Southern District U.S. Marshall slot for him. Temple had a Masters in Criminal Justice from Ole Miss, had been a state police captain in his youth, and the State Criminal Justice Chairman for the Reagan campaign in Ms. His close friend, U.S. Senator Paul Coverdell would have made all the appointments for the new George W. Bush administration, but Coverdell died suddenly with an aneurism at 62. That left appointments and political spoils to the Georgia republican congressmen. Not good–not good at all. Meetings with federal judges ensued and trips to Washington, but the infighting proved more than Norwood could overcome, and Temple threw in the towel.
Out of the shadows of fate came Georgia State Superintendent of Schools, Linda Schrenko. Temple, a chamber of commerce education chairman and well known reform advocate, was her East Georgia Business Chairman. He had helped manage her reelection campaign in 1998 when she won in a three-way race with a democrat and libertarian. Schrenko said that Bush’s loss was “her gain,” and offered Temple an appointment as one of her four deputy superintendents of schools.
In a move that would change his whole life, destroy his public image, and land him in prison, Temple accepted her offer, and rode in to conquer Atlanta just as he had every other foe on the field of battle before…but this time, the dragons were bigger and nastier, and his worst enemy…turned out to be just down the hall from his new office.
Merle Temple…Last of the Boy Scouts, Part 2
“In the middle of life’s journey, I found myself in a dark wood. I had wandered from the straight path…it was such a thick, wild, and rough forest that when I think of it my fear returns…I can’t offer any good explanation of how I entered it…”–Dante’s Inferno.
Linda Schrenko was Merle Temple’s political hero when he entered the nest of vipers at the Georgia Department of Education in 2001. They were political associates, not personal friends, and he had no knowledge of the libertine past that haunted the highest elected republican woman in Georgia history, or the true depth of the animus toward her from the Atlanta establishment, both political parties, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and the State Board of Education.
Schrenko had been named the top female republican in the country, but was under siege. Temple thought he could bring his business acumen, political skills, and his tireless perfectionism and idealism to the leviathan that awaited him, and it would only be a matter of time before all surrendered, and he could go back home to care for his ailing wife as he always had.
However, he was no General Sherman on a march through the old South. His Hollywood script did not play in Atlanta where the last bastion of the all democrat controlled state would be gone within two years, but was then in an angry and ruthless survival mode. Schrenko was thought to be running for governor, and the State Board of Education, appointed by her enemy, Governor Roy Barnes, was at her throat and those of her staff every day, holding monthly meetings that were partisan blood lettings and torture of education employees. Barnes, who became known as “King Roy,” began to push his political appointees to secure federal education funds for the shadow government he was building.
The Assistant U.S. Secretary of Education told Temple to hold firm against any diversion and promised prosecution of misused funds. She repeated this to Temple and Schrenko in front of U.S. Secretary Rod Paige. A mole for Barnes in the Georgia Department was escorted from the building and promptly appointed as Barnes’ education czar. Temple’s phone rang off the hook almost daily with pleas for help from other agencies who said that Barnes was seizing control of everything in Georgia–appointing super directors to bypass agency heads, the legislature, and constitutionally elected officials. State police–roads and bridges–the port authority– the department of transportation—it was empire building on a massive scale. State troopers warned Schrenko to be careful on the road lest she be jailed by troopers who were in the enemy camp.
Then, a dozen or so White House and U.S. Education officials told Temple on a conference call that they had “reconsidered.” They would allow Barnes to divert all the funds he wanted. Absent were the administrators who told Temple to hold firm and enforce the law. These politicos said that to make it easier for the Barnes machine, they would send the money not to the Georgia Department of Education, but to the State Board of Education which was not an agency and had no lawful standing or structural apparatus to receive or disburse money. This was surreal to Temple and the moment he really knew how alone they were and that no help was coming from fellow republicans.
Temple was shaken and compared it to Wells Fargo calling the local bank to tell them that there were bank robbers in town, and to hold down trouble, their armored trucks would now just deliver the money directly to the bank robbers. Schrenko told Temple that a conservative in the White House said that she was being thrown under the bus by the Bush administration who wanted a Barnes endorsement of Bush’s No Child Left Behind education bill…the only democratic governor to do so then.
Temple wondered what he had gotten into, but it was about to get worse…much worse.
Merle Temple…Last of the Boy Scouts, Part 3
“…She caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. Samson, Samson, the Philistines be upon you…and the Philistines took him…” (Judges 16:19-21)
Merle Temple arrived in Atlanta in the spring of 2001 to save the day for the embattled Georgia Superintendent of Education. By the winter of despair in early 2002, abandoned by the press–shunned by U.S. Ed–rejected by the President of the United States and republicans–he should have gone home to Augusta. It was not to be.
In the wake of the Bush sellout, Superintendent Linda Schrenko began a strategy to spend as much as possible before the State Board of Education could divert it to Barnes. She claimed her legal 5% of federal funds for administrative costs, and awarded grants to local schools. A million dollars or so went to schools–not Roy Barnes. The Board was furious, and tensions grew even worse. Amidst threats and phone sweeps for bugs–leaks and paranoia grew by leaps and bounds.
The fight with Barnes and Washington only exacerbated an already fractured and dysfunctional organization rife with infighting and jockeying for power. Temple’s Don Quixote idealism intensified to rescue the damsel in distress, and dispatch the villains violating the law. Amidst the carnage, Temple began to take increasing amounts of drugs prescribed to manage fibromyalgia pain, and panic attacks. His doctors gave him testosterone to boost his strength and injections for pain. His house was burning down, but he couldn’t walk away from the woman who told him of abuse throughout her life, and had black eyes when he picked her up for trips–tugging at the heart of the Boy Scout. She increasingly came to visit him to tell of the loss of her soul to the devil in an ill advised incantation as a young woman–later telling him that she knew what she was doing in these visits. He was the only one who didn’t get it. Thrown together on the campaign trail, he found himself violating an unshakable moral code. He lost his center in her darkness. He lost himself. He never knew what hit him.
Republican leaders did not want Schrenko as their candidate for governor because they feared she would cut the pork that they wanted when they gained power. So, they blessed Sonny Perdue, a lifelong democrat who had switched parties. Schrenko awarded vendor contracts for the State Schools for the blind and deaf in a bit of flawed “Iran-Contra”–kill two birds with the same stone–strategy to benefit the schools as well as her campaign. Around $200,000 came to her campaign, none of which Temple benefited from. The media said the money came from funds meant for blind children, but no money was allotted them except in contracts that Schrenko used to end run the board before they could divert the money to Barnes.
When the feds pursued indictments after Schrenko lost in the republican primary, Temple was mystified that, despite mistakes, no one acknowledged their efforts to deny theft and defend the constitution, but he looked at the laws the feds had, and urged her to plead. Schrenko said no–she had done nothing wrong. He was barred from talking to her, but she emailed constantly to play on his protective nature and sympathy, and influence his testimony as she again led him down the path to destruction.
In an argument with prosecutors, Temple became angry over perceived pressure to tow the government line in a way he was not prepared to do. He told her that he would tell the truth on the stand about Barnes and Bush. When he refused to abandon his wife as Schrenko demanded, she mocked his wife and told him coldly, “You’ve made your choice.” She notified the prosecutors that he called her, and he was arrested, shackled, and jailed in Atlanta where he nearly died from forced drug withdrawal. While he was near death, Schrenko, the master of the victim opera, appeared on television to blame everything on him, and testify for the prosecutor who changed all the facts to paint his former witness as the mastermind. When Temple almost died, Schrenko wrote him–”I’m sorry for any harm…thought they would just yell at you…”
Temple, the figure in this Shakespearean style tragedy whose story has not been told, reimbursed the amount of the money that came to Schrenko’s campaign though he benefited from none of it. He would have received little or no time if he had not contacted Schrenko, but he remains in prison in 2011, having served over four and a half years, longer than many violent, repeat offenders. The prosecutor, Russell Vineyard, who did not recuse himself although awaiting a Bush appointment, is now a federal magistrate–all of his rants to the federal judge regarding releasing Temple on bail were edited out of sanitized court transcripts erasing evidence of how personal Temple’s rebellion was to a man awaiting an appointment from the man Temple wanted to expose. Schrenko netted no time off for her betrayal of the most loyal aide she had, only public exposure of her darkness–a metaphor for a kind of murder-suicide of two lives that gained her nothing but exposure as a woman scorned. No one was ever prosecuted for the diversion of many millions in federal money, or had to pay any of the money back.
Temple’s wife of 37 years, Susan, whose heart was hidden in Christ, never abandoned him, and viewed Schrenko as her husband’s Delilah. Susan died from a long illness in 2007. The prison defied the order of a judge, and refused to let him attend her funeral. Her last note to Temple was, “Be good until we meet again.”
Even Temple’s enemies could not deny that he was a tireless worker for the disenfranchised in his life for no gain–always the naive idealist fighting the machine. He was given eight years–more than politicians who bribed judges and pocketed millions, but he was subdued by God as he lay near death in the Atlanta jail and found new birth and eternal life in brokenness. He ministers to the broken in prison, and leads weekly Christian movie nights that have exposed over two thousand men to the gospel and saving grace of Jesus Christ. Ordained a minister and married to a childhood friend in 2010, he has long since forgiven Schrenko and all involved, and finally himself. He has filed in Birmingham federal district court to have the honest services counts dismissed, and to tell what God has done for him in prison.
He only says, “It is here that I learned as C.S. Lewis once wrote, that I am not just some soldier of fortune, a body with a soul–but a soul with a body, and that God works His will through me as a spiritual being. I searched for peace and found the only peace there is through the Prince of Peace. Here in this awful pain and grief, He gave me eternal life. How can I then say that it has not all been worth it? “
A Cycle of abuse occurs in a repeating pattern. It can be described as both generational and episodic abuse cycles. Generational cycles are passed down, by example and exposure, from parents to children. However, episodic cycles occur in a repeating pattern within a relationship of at least two individuals. For many victims, it is difficult to recognize when a pattern has developed in their relationship.
Instead, they often see violent behaviors as isolated, unrelated incidents. Yet, episodic abuse often happens in cycles, with violent episodes that are designed to control and break the victim’s spirit, interspersed with periods of calm, loving support, and nurturing care. Don’t be a victim, protect your self, learn to recognize the cycle of abuse.
The four stages of the abuse cycle
The cycle may occur hundreds of times in a relationship, but the stages will vary in time and intensity, however, they are generally present in all instances of domestic violence.
1. Tension building-The cycle of episodic abuse begins with verbally, such as with loud screaming and/or harassment and even a threat of physical assault. At this point, the victim can usually calm the situation by using techniques that he or she has learned from dealing with past and similar experiences. Many victims will deny that their partners are abusing them and make excuses for them in their minds. However, many victims do recognize that these small incidents will generally escalate and lead to a bigger, more dangerous incident. These victims seem to take it upon themselves to keep things running smoothly so as not to aggravate the situation. The victim endures tremendous psychological stress at this stage.
2. The explosion-During stage two of domestic violence, nothing the victim can do or say can stop the violence. All of the tensions from stage one are released. The abuser has no self-control, is in a blind rage, and is oblivious to the damage he or she is inflicting. Severe injury can be done to his or her partner. This phase of the cycle is generally shorter than the other two stages. However, the abuse that a victim endures during this stage is tormenting
3. Remorse-This is the honeymoon or reconciliation stage, characterized by a period of normalcy. The abusive person may appear to be truly repentant, going to great lengths to seek forgiveness. He or she may be remorseful, charming and warm and may assure the victim that the violent behavior will never occur again.
4. Calm- before the tension starts again. The abuser acts like the violence never happened and promises made during honeymoon stage may be met. Gifts are often given to the victim.
How does the cycle of abuse destroy the victim? The insidious repetitious wheel of the abuse cycle can and will destroy the victim. Each time the cycle occurs the victim loses more and more of themselves, becoming a different and damaged person. Some destructive effects of constant abuse include:
• Not wanting to be at home- spends more time elsewhere • Low self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness • Depression-leading to thoughts of suicide • Emotional problems- shame, emotional highs and lows, emotional numbness • Illness – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually • Addictions- alcohol and/or drug abuse • Withdrawal- from real life into an alternative reality -usually the Internet
Break the cycle of abuse
The cycle of abuse can only be broken with outside help. The first step in breaking the cycle is to realize that you are being abused and that it is not your fault. Next, you must consider your personal safety and the safety of your family. Treat safety as an order of first priority. Set boundaries that put you at a distance from the abuser and seek professional help for the two of you.
What Is “The Office Wife” Anyway?
You’ve probably heard the term before. It’s bantered about on television, tossed into articles of Cosmopolitan and GQ. Sometimes it even works its way into conversations at the gym or the grocery. “The Office Wife,” or “Office Husband” is the scariest thing in your spouse’s workplace. But does it need to be? What is the Office Wife anyway?
The Office Spouse is a strange staple in many American workers’ daily lives. Between ten and thirty percent of individuals in a variety of industries admit to having an office wife or an office husband! This phrase describes the relationship that develops as more and more Americas work longer and harder at their jobs, and in closer proximity with colleagues of the opposite sex. This is a non-sexual companionship in which both partners are emotionally invested in each other, their work performance, their well being, and their emotional health. Willard F. Harley Jr., PhD. explains, “An office spouse meets emotional needs, going beyond the requirements of the job. If you are in a bind, here is a co-worker-someone of the opposite sex-who will care for you, who you can depend on, and who you can confide in.”
The good news is that most people wouldn’t dream of cheating on their loved ones with their Office Spouse. The Office Spouse has a very specific role for most office dwellers. You do lunch, you talk about your life and vice versa, they celebrate the good times at work and complain about the bad ones. You share your thoughts about the office pool and politics, you share your hopes and your ambitions-and then you go home separately. The Office Spouse gets the inside jokes, understands your frustrations with the boss, and picks up on your work vibes.
But this can be a scary thing for your real spouse. In a way, the office spouse is more in tune with your life than the real husband or wife at home! You spend 8 hours or more at work-arguably your best 8 hours, when you are most aware and least exhausted. You are away from your spouse. Even though you may come home and talk about the office and your spouse may commiserate, your spouse will never truly understand your office life. Those inside jokes just never come home.
It’s not surprising that the real spouse can get jealous of your work-time support. Because of the emotional investment required, many people feel that the office wife is an emotional affair that is quickly on its way to a physical one! Of course breaking up with your Office Spouse can have negative effects. Do you really want a spurned co-worker in the office with tons of inside information about you?
So for those of you with an Office Wife or Hubby, here are a few tips to keep everything flowing smoothly and everyone happy:
Don’t share too much personal information at work: It’s ok for your office buddies to know your birthday, your anniversary, and your kids’ names, but keep the dirty secrets at home. Your Office Spouse doesn’t need to know about your wife’s latest diet craze or your husband’s terrible habit of leaving dirty laundry right beside the hamper. You should especially avoid telling your Office Spouse about fights with your real spouse! You should also avoid accepting personal information from your Office Spouse; and if you can’t stop their details from spilling forth, share them with your partner. Inviting your spouse into your office world helps it become less exclusive.
Be very careful when discussing your relationship: It’s easy to vent frustrations about your marriage, especially to someone who offers you so much emotional support. However, telling someone who cares about every other aspect of your well-being that you aren’t satisfied with your home-life is asking for trouble! However, re-affirming to your Office Spouse that “I love my wife” or “I’m crazy about my husband” should be enough for them to recognize your good marriage for what it is.
Don’t be alone with your Office Wife away from the office: Harley suggests, “Romantic relationships develop out of recreational activities and intimate conversations.” With an office spouse, you already have a sense of intimacy; there is no need to invite other complications into the relationship. You should definitely avoid drinking with your office spouse! Some situations, such as business trips, may seem unavoidable. Don’t forget, you can always invite your real spouse along to any occasion outside of the office.
Let both of your real spouse meet your office spouse: You can even make an event of it, especially if your office spouse has someone at home as well. Meeting your wife or husband will help to reinforce the boundaries of the Office Spouse relationship, and help your real spouse accept your office friendship. And on the same hand, you’ll be doing the same for your office bud!
Stop talking about your Office Spouse!: Your real spouse should know about your office spouse, but shouldn’t be subjected to hearing about them constantly. Talk about your work day, but don’t over-emphasize. One office worker admits, “If I talk about my ‘work husband’ too much and in a somewhat too positive light, my real husband starts to get suspicious and a little jealous.” Remember that the Office Spouse cuts an imposing figure to the person that kisses you goodbye in the morning and goodnight when the day is done.
So you finally got to meet this striking, charming lady and you thought that after so many dates and good times you shared, she’s now hooked on to you and its time to take things to the next level. Oh, sure you are funny, charming, and fun-loving but all she says is that you are “so nice and sweet”, “just like her pet dog”. Moreover you are such a “good friend” and a shoulder to cry on always. Chances are that she is relishing every moment of this and giggling with her pals behind your back. To add insult to your woes, the goodies you were hoping to savor aren’t forthcoming.
Just in case you haven’t realized, you got dumped to the friend zone, and your chances of getting out are very slim. Not every woman you meet is going to behave this way. However, if you don’t up the tempo and act like the lover you want her to see in you; you will always be “just friends”.
To understand why you are now Mr. Nice guy and not her dashing Prince Charming, you need to know how and why you ended up in the friend trap. These are some of the main reasons why:
1). She’s just not into you: To cut the story short, you don’t rock her world. This is a bitter pill to swallow. You will have to accept the fact that if she doesn’t dig you, you had better quit wasting your time and move on. Attraction is the single most powerful force that will instantly pull streams of women towards your direction. If a woman doesn’t feel any attraction for you, there is very little you can do. You can either resign to the fact that you will always remain her friend, or get to learn the powerful techniques to transform yourself into an instant female magnet.
2). You are Way too Nice: If you make that fatal mistake of being too nice and letting her get away with anything, she will most likely treat you like her blue-eyed little brother or her favorite puppy dog. If she is pitiless, you will instantly turn into her doormat. And don’t think for one moment that you can buy her attention and impress her with flowers, expensive gifts and meals.
3). You’ve got nothing to offer: Sometimes, the odds may be harshly stacked against you if you haven’t got anything to deliver. You don’t need unlimited wads of cash, fast cars or power to win her over, but I have to admit that sometimes these things make a difference. Don’t worry yourself to death. There could be something in you, some hidden talent or special quality that would boost your appeal. If she can’t see anything exceptional in you, then you are destined to remain casual friends.
4). She’s got issues: If this is the case, then don’t be too hard on yourself. She was probably abused from past relationships so there is very little chance that you will become her knight in shining armor.
The Friend zone is not such a great place to be in. Fortunately, it is possible to get out of this dead-end situation. All you need is to put into practice these tips:
1). Get on with your life and be scarce: I’ve done this many times over and the outcome has a powerful and alluring effect on the girls. Simply try acting like you don’t need her. Pursue your hobbies, get on with your daily work and focus on your priorities. Quit following her around like a lovesick pup. But don’t overdo it. For some reason, the sudden shift in attention from her to you works wonders.
2). Pose a challenge: Once you make yourself not so readily available and she begins to seek out for you (believe me, women always do this), try to keep her off balance. Learn to be unpredictable. Try rousing her interest in you, while at the same time maintaining your distance and keeping her guessing all the time. Never ever let her know that she’s already got you. She should never get wind of your next course of action. If you can keep this going, kudos to you. The power of intrigue, suspense and unpredictability is like an aphrodisiac to women.
3). Date other women: She’s probably an exceptional beauty, a perfect 10, but make her realize she’s got competition. You can give her an honest compliment. Tell her that she is attractive and special, but this should not hold back your wandering eye. Don’t limit yourself to one woman at the initial stages of dating. Your girl may also hit back and do a similar thing but this shouldn’t faze you. If she has a genuine interest in you, this will instantly drive her crazy for you.
4). Send mixed and conflicting signals: This takes the game of mystery and unpredictability to new heights. By now, you’re probably into her, but don’t let it appear obvious. Keep it very light. Learn to use simple gestures, and body-language tips to hint your desire. If you know how to use humor, you can never go wrong. This creates interesting conversation and will in the long run elevate you into a fabulous romantic prospect.
As a word of caution, many women are very smart, and will easily decipher any wily antics you try to conjure. You will need to be very shrewd and discreet. These few pointers should go a long way in helping you avoid the blind alley zone of the friend trap. Always remember, you don’t need to be too nice and over-accommodating to win her approval. And you don’t have to agree with her every word and deed. She needs you to take charge and be the lead man in her life.
Every time you take your car out of the garage it’s exposed to potential paint damage hazards. Some of the most common issues are acid rain, insects, battery acid and road stones. There is another hazard that’s particularly messy and harmful, and that’s bird poop.
Bird poop is essentially an acid. It can have a pH level between 3.5 and 4.5. That means it will burn delicate surfaces unless it’s removed relatively quickly. On car paint, in particular clear coat finishes, bird droppings burn the surface, causing a permanent etch mark.
It’s not at all uncommon for a large dropping to cause paint damage that’s 2 mils deep, or more. To understand what that means to your car’s clear coat, good laser printer paper is about 2 mils thick. More importantly, a quality clear coat finish is typically 4 to 6 mils. That means a heavy-duty bird bomb won’t leave a lot of clear coat in the area that needs to be repaired. The good news is that paint etching from hard water spots and bird droppings is an easy repair you can make at home. Most repairs like this take less than 5 minutes.
Fixing Bird Poop Paint Damage
The only way to repair the paint damage caused by a bird is to polish the affected area with a fine cut rubbing compound. The basic procedure is to use the compound to cut away the damage and re-polish the surface so it looks new again. This is exactly the step taken by professionals and the factory when they remove painting defects. Your only concern is over-polishing. Be careful that you don’t over do it and polish all the way through the top coat.
The best car polish to use is one that’s formulated for removing paint scratches or restoring oxidized paint. The product I highly recommend is Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound. It’s available in most auto parts stores, and it works great by hand or with an electric car polisher.
If the damage covers an area larger than about 1 square inch, a polishing compound alone might not do the trick. For larger areas of damage you can make the repair faster and easier by first removing the damaged paint with 2000 or 3000 grit wet sanding paper, then re-polish the area with the compound. This may sound severe, but it’s not. It’s a safe procedure used by paint and body shop professionals.
Preventing Bird Damage
Although it’s difficult to avoid being splattered with bird waste, it’s not at all difficult to prevent the damage. The sooner you remove the mess, the less likely it will be that your paint will be damaged. Conversely, the longer the mess remains on your vehicle’s paint the more damage it will create.
If you live in an area where you are prone to getting pooped on, I highly recommend keeping a small bottle of car detailing spray and a microfiber cloth or two in your vehicle. It will come in handy for all kinds of spills and emergency cleanups. The Meguiar’s Quik Detailer product is very inexpensive and easy to find. When you need to clean up a bird mess, simply give the bird droppings a few shots of the spray, allow it to soak for a moment or two, then wipe it away.
The Crisis of Human Survival
Environmental Pollution
1. Damage to The Ozone Layer Causes Radiation Pollution
The hole in the ozone layer above the North Pole is becoming larger, allowing large volumes of ultraviolet radiation to fall directly on the Earth’s surface, causing destruction and harm to humanity, and resulting in skin cancer and other bodily ailments. At the same time, it reduces the rate at which green plants photosynthesise, thereby reducing oxygen content in the atmosphere.
This has extreme negative effects on the Earth. Health organisations all over the world are continuously researching on ways of reducing such harmful effects on humanity. In a direct attempt to address the issue, many are actively looking into the effects of radiation, and taking measures to rectify the situation, such as through modifying the coolant compartments in automobiles and refrigerators, and setting up new guidelines for certain products.
2.Acid Rain
The emission of pollutants and toxic gases into the atmosphere has resulted in chemical reactions, which cause acid rain. Acid rain damages the environment by, for example, corroding the metals we use in car doors and buildings. It also harms human health; the first sign of prolonged exposure to acid rain is the onset of skin ailments.
3.Agro-Chemicals
Many of the agricultural products, which we consume regularly, are sprayed with chemical pesticides that are harmful to humans. Some of these products may reach the consumer before an interval of time that is necessary for them to be safe and fit for human consumption. Consumers may unwittingly purchase these quick-to-the-market agricultural products, still tainted with chemicals, and expose their family to the harmful effects of these pesticides. Prolonged accumulation of these chemicals can cause irreversible damage to our health.
4. The Contamination of Western Medicine
Frequently, we see a new phenomenon. Whether is it among a family member or in the office, as soon as someone catches a cold or cough, it will inevitably spread quickly to someone else. Besides the highly contagious nature of the virus, the body’s low resistance to viruses also plays a part. The abusive use of antibiotics has resulted in viruses’ resistance to medicines as well as deterioration of the human body’s immunity system. The rates of contagious diseases are thus on the rise.
Air Pollution
Rapid worldwide industrialisation has increased the daily emission of toxic waste and gases. Vehicle exhaust fumes and dust are increasingly trapped in our environment and this is exacerbated in densely populated cities where smog blankets and traps polluted air.
Tobacoo Smoke（Public Places）
The harmful effects of nicotine found in tobacco smoke are well documented. Passive smokers who are exposed to tobacco smoke in public places can also suffer from the same ill effects as smokers themselves – lung diseases, damages to our brain cells, heart problems, strokes, poor blood circulation and high blood pressure are some of the more well known illnesses associated with tobacco smoke.
Indoor Air Pollution
On average, we spend 80% of our time indoors. The high cost of living and pressure for space have resulted in smaller living areas, with a higher tendency of congestion and poorer ventilation. Coupled with an enclosed indoor environment, these living conditions often come with pollutants such as cigarette smoke, dust, fungi and spores, droppings from dust mites, chemicals from photocopying machines and construction materials (glue, paint) and smoke from cooking. Sustained exposure to these elements can cause cancer, respiratory ailments such as asthma, hypersensitive rhinitis, hypersensitive dermatitis, and deterioration of the immune system.
1. Cooking Smoke (Kitchen and Restaurant)
Research reveals that cooking a meal is equivalent to smoking six cigarettes. Although the proportion of women in China who smoke is small, the mortality rate of these women who suffer from pulmonary diseases is high. Epidemiologists suggest that there is a strong correlationship between this and the inhalation of smoke and oily fumes while cooking.
2. Recycling of Accumulated Carbon Dioxide (Office and Bedroom)
Prolonged inhalation of carbon dioxide in an enclosed or badly ventilated office can result in fatigue and lack of concentration among office workers. Fatigue felt after a long journey in the car is also similarly caused by poor circulation of air where there is insufficient oxygen to replace the carbon dioxide.
3. Bacteria and Fungus Found Living In Air Conditioners (Office Buildings, Hospitals, Homes, etc)
It is essential to clean the filters of all air-conditioning systems regularly, be it centralised or single units. Filth in the units will lead to the growth of micro-organisms which will flow into the room through the inlet duct when the air-conditioner is switched on. Many cases of asthma today is closely related to allergy to these micro-organisms.
4. Air Pollution by Chenical Substances (Home, Office)
The scents and odours of household products like insecticides, detergents, deodorisers, mosquito coils, hair gels, hair sprays, glue, correction fluid, calcium carbonate, etc, are sometimes unhealthy. They may even be cancer-causing.
The Change in Lifestyle
1. Changes In Diet
In the modern diet, chemical additives occupy nearly 65% of all daily food content. In addition, fashionable trends in fast food resulted in people taking in excessive animal fats and food with high cholesterol contents. Such changes in eating habits resulted in people consuming too much unhealthy products and thus health is affected.
2. Lack of Exercise
Oxygen is important to the body. With exercise, oxygen will help to strengthen cardiac and lung functions. Exercise will also help to burn excess fats and reduces intravascular LDL ( low density lipoprotein cholesterol) to prevent arteriosclerosis. Exercising will benefit the health but when done excessively, it will result in hypoxia and overproduction of free radicals causing physiological imbalance.
3. Mental Stress
Changes in the present living environment: reductions in natural greens making way for the metropolis jungle, inter-personal relationships becoming increasingly superficial. As life’s pressures build up, so does stress in the workplace. The world of feelings and EQ succumb to imbalance. Many modern people suffer from the sickness of melancholy and this constitutes another concern of living in the modern society.
The Origin of Virus and Allergy
Man’s endless devastation to Mother Nature has resulted in severe environmental pollutions, and nature is reacting. The constant mutation of bacteria and virus variations, coupled with the bustle of world trade, has lent favor to virus broadcast. With developments in aviation and frequent travel, viruses are being disseminated at lightning speed across the globe. Strange illness abound, the pace of medical research cannot keep up with the unexpected speed of viral mutation. Plagues continue to endanger lives of humans and livestock. Life on earth is seriously threatened.
In addition, while most allergies do not endanger life, they can cause a person to live unhealthily or become unhappy. An example is dust allergy. Asia has the world’s highest incidences of asthma, 90% of such cases arises due to dust allergy. The common symptoms of dust allergy include: habitual early morning sneezes, running nose, blocked nose, cough, rhinitis, asthma, allergic conjunctivitis and uncommon dermatitis.
The above-mentioned issues constitute factors that threaten the survival of humanity, cause deterioration of health and increase mental stress, leading to unhealthy and unhappy lives.
Unlike chrome rims, the white 22 inch rims will simply not go well with any car model or color. The best car models to accessorize these rims are usually large SUV models, like the Land Rover or Cadillac. In addition to the car’s size, you must also ensure that its color can create a nice contrast with the white rims and hence, own a car painted in vivid red or black. However, it is important to note that these rims can go well with powerful sports cars as well, especially with those used in racing.
Due to their color, you should expect to clean the white 22 inch rims almost every time you take your car for a spin. The reason for this is that they make dust and debris particles very visible. Even though you will have to perform more maintenance and cleaning on them, you can rest assured that you will find the right cleaners and tools for the job in every store. On a side note, when you are choosing the cleaner for these rims, you should first find out the alloy they are made of, as to avoid damaging the material or coating.
If you have decided to purchase white 22 inch rims to give your vehicle a completely new look, then it is important that you pay attention to the details. First of all, check the materials of them. The most popular white rims choices are the ones made of aluminum, especially because they are lighter. However, you can also find white rims that are made of steel or a combination of steel and aluminum.
Besides the material they are made of, another important detail you should consider is the paint job of these rims, as their color can be obtained through three methods: power-coating, simple paint job or anodizing. Both the material and the paint will reflect in the their pricing and overall durability. In addition, these two features will also determine the maintenance procedure, cleaning methods and products you should use for them, as mentioned above.
So far, the powder-coating method has proven to be the best choice for both steel and aluminum white 22 inch rims. Simple paint on the rims is just a temporary solution and anodizing them with white is not your best choice, if you want the color to last for a long time. While for the steel white rims the coating can provide a very efficient method of preventing chips and scratches, the aluminum will usually require an addition layer of protective lacquer. Moreover, regardless of whether they are made of steel or aluminum, you should ensure that the coating of the white rims was applied all over their surface, as to avoid rust.
