2 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs5 years agoCan you determine whats going on with my engine by looking at this spark plug? My 2006 Charger V6 3.5L High Output is losing engine oil.?
Over 170k miles on it, not sure how many miles i put on the car since I changed my spark plugs, but I know for sure I changed them about a year ago, along with PCV valve. I've already posted a lot of information earlier today explaining my car's situation. Please read that post if you don't mind.
Thanks for any advise!
14 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs5 years agoEngine losing oil. Definitely no leak, spark plugs and PCV valve replaced last year. I'll post a picture of a spark plug later today.?
I'm tired of topping off my engine. I thought it was a normal thing to do until I taken a road trip with my 2006 Charger and a 2012 Camaro. The Camaro required absolutely no topping off what so ever, except at nearly the end off the road trip, just a little dash of fresh oil and it was right at the level it should be. But the charger needed to be topped off over and over as I checked at nearly every gas stop. Any advice is welcome!
Here's my little ramble:
I pulled out one of the spark plugs this morning(having an issue uploading from my iPad, I'll upload a picture tonight when I get home). The best I can describe it is it looks like a coating of white ash on the spark plug. I can already tell I'm going to change my spark plugs... But want to fix the problem first.
I guess it's about time to change the PCV valve and clean throttle body, it's already got a brand new air filter from dealership. I'm thinking about quitting using Bosch oil filters and start buying Mopar oil filters. I've been using CASTROL EDGE 10W-30(Black Bottle). I tried the CASTROL EDGE EXTENDED PERFORMANCE 10W-30(Gold Bottle), but it really seemed the oil depleted quicker, so I quit using that. Perhaps I should use Mopar Oil for the next few oil changes as well?
I know I'm way past due on changing my HOAT coolant(It has 170k miles and most likely is the same antifreeze from the factory)perhaps that's causing the problem?
Any advise welcome!!

2 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs9 years agoLED Grow Light Suggestion?!?
I have about 10 little herb plants (different mints & rosemaries, dill, etc...). Anyways, I wanted to know what some people though of as dependable LED Grow bulbs. All suggestions welcome!!
I don't need 25 sq. ft. coverage, maybe less than 10 sq. ft. coverage would be sufficient. Just a small handful of plants. I do wish to expand, but in that case, I can buy a second bulb later.
Mainly, this is for bad days outside, too cold/windy/stormy/hot?/too lazy to take my plants outside today, lol.
All suggestions are welcome!
6 AnswersGarden & Landscape9 years agoOrganize Excel Column by Street Address, Skipping the Address Number?
Basically, in a column, I have ### Abcd. When I organize that particular column, I want to organize by the first Letter, not number. Seems to not be an easy button laying around. i have hundreds of addresses, and it would save time by finding a faster solution than copying and pasting the numbers onto a seperate column to the left. You know?
3 AnswersSoftware10 years agoCan some OBD II Scanners detect more problems than others?
I have just bought(haven't opened yet) the Actron PocketScan CP9125. It was $50. Anyways. It simply shows the code on the screen, and I can scroll down to the next code(if there are more issues with the car), and also erase codes.
The guy at the store explained to me that the reader will show a code, but the code may point to more than 1 POSSIBLE problem. It sometimes will not give a direct code that says: Torque Converter, or O2 Sensors. But it may list some different things and in that list also include Torque Converter.
He was leaning more towards it's not that great with telling you exactly what's wrong with sensors, but other than that, there is no quality difference. I will have to waste a few minutes thumbing through a booklet instead of an instant phrase on the screen(Just gives the code, I have to look it up).
Basically, having said what happened today at the store before I paid for it, I need to know... If there is a problem, even though it may not directly blame one thing, it will not NOT DETECT anything, or will it say there's problem, but just blow up with a list of possibilities??
Any better explanations will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
4 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs10 years agoDoes anybody's phone randomly turn off? And if so, what kind of phone do you have?
Motorola RAZR & RAZR v3xx
Since About 6 or so years ago, I had my first RAZR phone. and after a while of having it, my phone would randomly turn itself off. After a while after I got fed up with exchanging phones with Alltel, I contacted Motorola. They made an improvement at the part that swivels the flip phone open and close, it was flat in the middle and they made it more round, apparently some wiring was too close and there wasn't enough wiring to keep the phone functioning solidly. They didn't explain. Anyways, since then, I changed over to a newer phone, poor upgrade, by the way.
Motorola Rival (me and my wife)
It was the Motorola Rival. Slides open to a QWERTY pad. That was nice, it had half decent touch functions. Not bad for a cheap phone. But my phone would randomly turn off after sliding the phone open and closed. I made countless exchanges. My wife would have problems and need to exchange her Rival out too. Right now, to this day, her phone is now doing some weird stuff. She wouldn't be touching it and it would click around randomly. Very weird.
LG enV Touch
The phone I currently have however is the LG enV Touch. I bought one, brand spanking new. Never a scratch or dent(like all my phones before), even the leather case is treated with great attention. My phones are treated like gold. No moisture, water, always wiping off the oils. OCD clean! Okay? Anyways, even with my high standards, the LG enV Touch after a while would turn off between flipping it open and closed. Also, it would turn off in mid conversation, or I would randomly discover it turned off. This even happened a few minutes ago when I was on the phone with some relatives. I can't function right with my phone always killing my calls because they want to turn off. I've made more exchanges with the LG enV Touch than all my previous phone exchanges combined.
Verizon's Claim that this has never happened before
This is utterly ridiculous. I would ask the people at Verizon if anybody else has problems with this phone, and they would deny it every time. "no sir we have never had this problem reported to us before, you are the first customer to complain about this problem". It's a total lie, I've known many people that have this issue.
Do you? And what phones have you had problems with?

4 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoCooking eggs on iron skillet w/o oil?
Hi, my stepfather enjoys eating eggs, unfortunately the only way he will eat them now is hard-boiled. That's fine, no problem, but I think I found a way to cook them without using any oil or butter. I've heard that you can use a seasoned iron skillet and it will naturally be a stick free surface. Just heat the pan up first and drop a little water and watch it sizzle, not dissolve instantly, nor sit on the pan. What I want to know is has any body else done this and what are the tricks I need to know? I'm worried I'm gonna burn some eggs! Thanks
6 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoGet acryllic paint off of exercise ball?
Hey, we have accidently gotten some acryllic paint on one of those big exercise balls. I'm guessing the material is plastic, i'm sure, :-p. But anyways, how do I get it off? Paint thinner? Rubbing alcohol? soap and water(lol, yea right)? Would this stuff just peel off eventually? It just looks alittle ugly, and the white acryllic paint is kinda sticky to the touch, even though it's been dry for about a week now.
Any hope of an answer would be nice!
Thanks in advance!

JUST FOR THE RECORD, GEORGIA USA, NOT THE COUNTRY GEORGIA NEAR THE BLACK SEA.
I've been throwing all sorts of key words into Google, and I managed to find a list of all the Hospitals in Georgia on Wikipedia.
But it's not all the medical facillities in the State of Georgia. I'd really like to have the doctors offices too, not just hopsitals. Such as Sports Rehab facilities, Diagnostic Imaging Facilities, Clinics, etc. Just any and every medical facility in the State of Georgia. I don't need hospital names, like I said, Wikipedia already has that.
Thanks.
2 AnswersOther - General Health Care1 decade agoEvery illegal immigrant is 1 more potential Terrorist w/ Deadly Weapons. Will the govt. have a 100% crackdown?
For every illegal immigrant coming into our borders. That one more potential bombing of a major city. Here is a link describing the physical sizes of some US made and used Nukes:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_big_is_the_atomic_bo...
They aren't that big. Sit there and think a second, do you expect these bombs to be as big as an airplane? The next question is weight, not every bomb is awfully heavy. Mexicans go back and forth with boats and then put the drugs on the back of trucks and vans, then high tail into America. They can also drive directly into the US by Desert, and they do have small jeeps that get them back and forth (this is the big dogs we're talking about, not your average farm migrant worker)... Once they're in, they have 1st class access to any major city in the US of A. Nobody is safe.
Oh and by the way, whoever said they MUST be a Mexican to be bad news for America? Al'queda can easily WALTZ into the borders without having to deal with paranoid flight security again. There are foreign terrorists out there that would die to kill some Americans, and oh... I bet Iran would be tickled to check this route out. And this just isn't nuclear warheads, this can be a C4 bomb or any other types of very destructive materials, poisonous gasses, or anything else (using the words weapons of mass destruction is overused, but use it if you may, it’s very scary to realize that your city can be rubble on day, your child is away from you, at school, you are at work, then you see it on the news, just like my friend was in class in south GA…. the teacher was instructed to turn on the TV, and then my friend was balling in tears because her daddy was in the Twin Towers, doing some business whatever on that day, she lost her dad obviously, but you think that now we’ve been exposed once, that we are now immune, no… Japan did a very similar thing back nearly 70 years ago. Will this happen again? And again? And Again?). Just some culture real quick, did you know that Time Square was almost bombed a few months back? Seriously… The idiot Pakistani used the wrong fertilizer, and that’s why it didn’t explode, here’s the link:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101005/ap_on_re_us/us...
http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/current-affairs/u...
Oh, and he warns there will be more to come from other terrorists. I think they are really rethinking their strategy and doing test runs before doing it “for real”, if they become efficient and effective, we’ll have as much, or even more bombings than Europe. Just Google “Europe Bombings” Train stations, major city areas, not farmland and woods... Get targeted.
5 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoDo You Use Firewire Converters? From 400 cable to 800 plug?
I just got a new Mac Pro Desktop, and I have a problem.... I knew when I bought the tower that it'd have 4 firewire ports on it, but I didn't realize that they were Firewire 800 ports until it came in. I have a bunch of products that come with Firewire 400 cables:
Epson R1800 Printer
30" Monitor(essentially the monitor is a splitter, plug the firewire cable into 1 port on the tower, and I have 2 firewire ports on the back of the monitor)
Seagate FreeAgent Pro External Hard drive
I would much rather buy some converters to get these plugged to the computer than go out and buy all new hardware(maybe someday, a few years from now perhaps). Now my question is this:
Is this dangerous for my products?
Such as my hard drive, will data become corrupt traveling back and forth through a converter?
Printer: Will there be any color inaccuracies in professional photographic prints?
Monitor: Will the devices that plug into this "splitter" and then through a converter to finally plug into the computer be at any risk of corruption as well.
I've got DVI to HDMI and VGA, etc... converters, I know those work just fine. But I've never found myself needing to convert firewire ports before.
I know for sure I at least need just one converter to plug my monitor in, but the hard drive and the printer I could probably get 2 cables with a 400 on one side and a 800 on the other side.
Has anybody done this before? Any problems? No problems? Thank in advance!!
2 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoNew Mac Pro... how can I push it to it's limit?
We just got a Xeon processor with 8 cores at 3.2 GHz each. 16 GB DDR3 RAM, and a ATI Radeon 5870 Graphics card, oh, and a 30" HD monitor. I know it's not the ABSOLUTE best of the best, greatest of all computers, but hey... this is pretty good.
We basically got this for photo editing and some video editing with absolutely no inhibition and just to simply get the job done without having to wait for the little things to load.
For the Mac side, i can utilize all of those specifications, but for my Boot Camped Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium, I can only utilize 2GB, but I'm currently trying to figure how I can get it up to 4 GB like Micosoft's chart states:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(V...
Anyways, on the Mac side, obviously, since I can have all 16 GB of RAM at my disposal.... What can I do, perhaps as far as gaming, to push this computer as hard as I can, to see how well it can REALLY perform. I've tried all the games i've had, opened a bunch of files, raw images, and just about anything else, multitasking as hard as I can, and it's just running SMOOTH as if i was only using one program at a time... So, I know Crysis is a great game, but has there been any newer, more demaning games "out there" recently? Most of my gaming I do on my PS3 and Xbox 360, but I really want to slam on the gas pedal one good time basically.
Thanks!
3 AnswersDesktops1 decade ago16 Gigs of ram, but Vista only detects 2 Gigs!?!?
My Mac Pro has 16 GB of DDR3 RAM. I have Boot Camped Windows Vista 32 bit onto it. In Vista, when I right-click on My Computer and click on Properties. I look under System, and the Memory (RAM): states 16.0 GB. But, when I right-click on the taskbar and click on Task Manager, I look under the Performance tab, and there is only 2034 MB of Total RAM under "Physical Memory".
So, System Properties states 16GB, Task Manager states 2GB. The kicker is if you look at Microsoft's wonderful chart of RAM limitations, it shows that my situation should allot me the utilization of 4GB of RAM. Here's the link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(V...
How can I get the other 2 gigs that I should be able to use, according to this chart. I'm entitled to 4 Gigs of RAM, but I'm only utilizing 2 Gigs.... Help anyone!!!
Thanks!
Also, for anyone that needs to know, I have a Xeon Processor, with 8 cores in it at 3.20 GHz each.
THE FOLLOWING IS JUST FOR FUN TO READ:
Available at that page is for everybody else's OS and bit differences. The best one I see is if you have "Kernel-mode virtual address space" (whatever that's about) and a 64 bit Windows OS, you can have 8TB of RAM.... ? Who needs that, no... who can even utilize any significant-sized fraction of that capacity?
But anyways, for Physical Memory, under Windows 7 Ultimate, you can plug in 192 Gigs of Physical memory, that's nice... But what motherboard harnesses that many memory slots? LOL.
