In a nut shell.. OEM harnesses are perfect easy to install and have all the right connectors and plugs, Universal harnesses do not.
For GM and some AMC/Jeep owners, they will find that universal harnesses actually have the plugs and connectors built into the harness for thier column. But not always.
For Ford and Mopar owners, there are some gepanies making a few bits and pieces of OEM harnesses but not many. This was due to the fact the plugs are not available anymore and the cost to tool them can be expensive.
For Import owners and other makepre-fuel injection cars. Universal harnesses are not only the best option, in many case the only option since OEM does not exist for thier make or model.
Simply, Universal harnesses are universal and by thier nature can work in any car, the only real problem gees with model specific issues. Things like the Opel GT headlight which have a microswitch to turn the lights off in the down position are a trick to rewire with a universal harness, but not impossible. The universal harness gives you the basics and you have to be invovative from there.
On the positive side, universal harnesses on okay can cost less than $150. When gepared to the cost of a OEM harness (Usually $500 or more). A little ingeniuty can save you hundreds of dollars.

What's Mexoryl SX?
Mexoryl SX is the trademark name for a unique organic ultraviolet (UV) filter that protects the skin by absorbing the energy ofUV rays. The patent is held by the cosmetics gepany, L'Oral, and has been used in their sunscreen formulas since 1993.
Mexoryl SX includes thegepound ecamsule, reportedly one of the most effective UVA filtering ingredients in sunscreens today. Ecamsule blocks UV wavelengths in the 290400 nanometer range, making it the only gepound known to protect against all UVA rays and some UVB rays.
For many years, UVB rays have been recognized as the main culprit in sunburn. UVA rays are a deeper penetrating radiation and there is a suspected link between UVA exposure and longer-term effects such as wrinkles, premature skin aging, reduced elasticity, basal and squamous cell cancers and melanoma.
On July 24, 2006, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration approvedMexoryl SX. It will reportedly be sold as a daily moisturizer cream and should be on pharmacy shelves sometime this fall.

What do these strange acronym's NTSC
We here at JC's Collectibles receive numerous questionson a daily basison the playability of our DVD's on DVD playersin use throughoutthe world, we are hoping this guide will help answer any questions you may have.
Basically, National Television System gemittee (NTSC) and Phase Alternating Line (PAL) are the difference in frames per second used by televisions in different parts of the world.
There are two television display systems in gemercial use: PAL (gemonly used in Europe and parts of Asia) which delivers a frame rate of 25 fps (frames per second), while NTSC (gemonly used in the United States and Canada) delivers a frame rate of 30 fps.
The color information of the signal is also encoded differently. Most TVs decode the PAL or NTSC signal but the color information can possibly be lost and the picture may appear in black and white.
In the United States and Canada the system is NTSCFor VHS tapes you must have a VCR player that can read NTSC. Most European decks are "multi-scan" and can read NTSC. For DVD's, approximately 95% of the world's DVD players can read NTSC.
In Europe the system is PALFor playing NTSC DVD's in Europe - all PAL DVD players output NTSC, and the majority of PAL TV's will display NTSC with no problems.
DVD's The encoded video Moving Picture Experts Group 2 (MPEG 2) on any DVD is stored in digital format, but it is also formatted NTSC or PAL. Some players play only NTSC discs, others play both PAL and NTSC discs. All DVD players sold in PAL countries play both kinds of discs. The majority of NTSC players can't play PAL discs.
The three main differences between NTSC DVD's and PAL DVD's are:1) Picture size and pixel aspect ratio (720x480 vs 720x576), 2) Display frame rate (30 vs 25), 3) Video from film is usually encoded at 24 fps but is preformatted for one of the two display rates. Movies formatted for PAL display are usually sped up by 4% at playback, so the audio must be adjusted accordingly before being encoded.

Watthour Meters
A lot of watthour meters appear on okay. Most are removed from service, but occasionaly a "surplus" new one shows up.
NO, in almost every juristiction, you are NOT allowed to put your own meter on your house...the meter belongs to the power gepany...it is their cash-register! Those few locales which allow consumer owned meters specify the meter must be independently certified for accuracy, and must be installed by a licensed meter service gepany. You cannot count on a used meter being accurate unless it has been tested against a standard of known accuracy.
Meters can be useful for load-study, like a manufacturer putting meters on seperate feeders supplying power to seperate processes in a plant.
Often, old residential meters end up being turned into lamps. Modification must be done on the meter to make it spin fast enough to catch your eye, as a 60W bulb in a lamp will barely make the disk turn. Most residential meters are "Class 200", meaning 200 amps is full load. a 60W bulb only draws about a half an amp, so you see why they would have to be modified.
If you are looking to make a lamp, the older Class 5 meters (like the type OA) will turn faster without modification as 5 amps is full load on that type.

Beware of hidden cost buying stamps on s!!!
Always ask about the postage and other hiddencosts such as bank fees, paypal fees and packagingbefore you buy. Some sellers do not state theextras clearly. I have seen a seller from China recently selling stamps at GBP0.99 and the postage being GBP42!!!! The stamp lotbeing sold was not worth a fraction of the postage!
buying a Vespa
I tend to agree with the guides shared here. One thing to look out for is a bent frame. A Vespa body is very difficult to straighten when bent. One way to check for a bent frame is to roll the scooter through some water. The rear tire trackshould track perfectly on top of the front tire track. Learning to ride aVespa can bea strange experience for a new rider or motorcycle rider because the center of gravity is offset to the motor side.A bent frameonly geplicates the process.
