The Lincoln Town Car’s air suspension uses a small, separate air compressor under the driver’s side left fenderwell, with air lines running to the air bags. On the top of each air bag is a electrical valve. This is a relief valve that allows air to be exhausted when activated, and which senses the amount of air pressure within the air bag to keep both sides equal. These valves are operated via a leveling sensor that is attached to the body of the car and to the rear axle by a movable arm. When the rear of the car drops due to increased load, the arm is pushed up. When the arm is pushed up, it turns on the air compressor and fills the air bags to level the car. When the load is removed and the arm moves down, indicating that the back of the car has risen, the sensor opens the valve on the air bags and allows air to escape, lowering the car.

If the back of the car is low, indicating that the air suspension is not working, and the air suspension light is on, check the fuse first. If the fuse is all right, check the air suspension switch in the trunk and make sure it is on. This switch is used when the car is in for service. Always turn off the switch before lifting the car, because the sensor will think the car is rising and keep the air bag valves open, ruining the rear air suspension.

Turn the ignition key with the engine off. Listen for the Town Car compressor to come on while pushing down on the rear bumper. If it does not come on, test the switch terminals for power, using a circuit tester. If one terminal has power and the other does not, replace the switch. If there is power, turn the switch to the off position, raise the vehicle and place it on jack stands in the rear. Inspect the leveling switch on the axle, making sure it is not bent and is connected. Use an ohmmeter for this test. Pull the electrical connector off the switch. Loosen the arm of the switch from the axle. Test the switch with the ohmmeter by checking across both terminals while slowly moving the arm. There should be no continuity with the arm down. As the arm is raised, there should be continuity. If not, replace the switch. If there was continuity, connect the arm and the electrical connector.

A turkey is a large bird that can be used in many delicacies. In the Southern United States, especially Louisiana, deep fried turkey is very popular. It is ideal for outdoor parties and barbecues. When you deep fry a turkey you make the skin crispy and retain the juiciness inside. For deep frying the perfect temperature is between 325 and 365 degrees F. If your turkey is less than 12 pounds the frying time is 2 1/2 minutes per pound. If the turkey is more than 12 pounds the frying time is 3 minutes per pound.

A turkey deep fryer contains special equipment like a pot, burner, lifting rack, thermometer and more. The amount of oil required to fry a 12 – 15 pound turkey is 1 1/2 to 2 gallons. If you want to reuse your oil you should purchase peanut oil, which can be reused 3 or 4 times. Bad oil usually foams, darkens, smells or smokes excessively. Deep frying of turkey should not be done indoors for safety reasons, only outdoors.

Deep fried turkey from a stainless steel turkey fryer should be consumed immediately. If there are any leftovers they should be stored in the fridge 2 hours after cooking. Any areas which have been in contact with the turkey needs to be cleaned properly. The oil should be completely cool before filtering and reusing.

There are lots of dishes that can be prepared from an electric turkey fryer. These can usually be obtained from friends and family. Another great source is the internet, which contains a lot of sites that have deep fried turkey recipes.

AED’s can be pricey.  They do what they were designed to do; still, they are expensive.  Fortunately, several organizations offer AED grants to help lower your expenses.  This article will teach you how to find an AED grant and how to qualify for it.

The good news part 1 is that getting an AED grant is not difficult…if you know what grant organizations want to hear. 

You see, most companies will ask for a(n)

- Organization Name
- Grant Application Contact Name
- Contact Phone Number
- Address
- Contact Email Address

And they’ll require some routine information concerning the number of AEDs you want and what procedures your organization currently uses in the case of Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

But get this:  surprisingly, many organizations aren’t concerned about how many AEDs you want.  Whether you want 5 or 10 AEDs–or just one–it doesn’t matter to them. 

No organization or need is too little.  In fact, I heard one donor admit that the most important factor for him (in evaluating AED grant applications) is the type and size of the organization.  His number one aim is to place his funds where he believed it would be of most use.

In other words AED donors *favor* smaller organizations such as…

- Schools
- Churches
- Fire and Police Departments
- Dental Offices
- Community Centers
- City and County Municipalities
- Volunteer Groups
- Sporting Organizations
- and even Individuals 
    

The good news (part 2), is that AED grants are not hard to come by…if you know where to find them and how to search.

(If you haven’t yet) try searching online using keywords like “AED Grants,” “Defibrillator Grants,” or “AED Sales.”  Many donors have websites with online applications and the forms take minutes to fill out. 

Best of all, a handful of donors will process your application in as few as 7 days and offer discounts of up to 20% off.

So, if you or somebody you know would benefit from an AED grant, don’t wait.  Begin the application process now.  Qualifying could be simpler than you think.

I have always known I wanted my first born child to be a boy. Before I got pregnant the first time, I looked into gender predictors online and read different methods you can try to increase your odds of having a boy or girl. Many people do not believe a gender predictor method can work. I was skeptical, but anything was worth the try!

After much research, my husband and I implemented the guidelines in Ashley Spencer’s gender predictor system and sure enough, it worked. So I am no longer a critic, I am a believer. It has been almost two years since my son was born and we are preparing to start trying on our next. Like before, I would like to have a boy again. It is time to visit the gender predictor site and break out all of the information and learning guides I found over three years to try for another blue bundle of joy.

So where can you find a gender predictor? There are many resources online and books in the library or in a bookstore. You can even order books and pamphlets of sites online. Many people don’t know that it can be possible to have the children you want, but it is if you follow the information on these resources. Ashley Spencer’s How to Choose the Gender of Your Baby is the best I’ve found! In this book she has provided tons of secrets that will help you conceive your special little boy or girl. She will teach you about fertility, diet changes to conceive what you want, and certain foods that are attractive to sperm, timing, and the best positions to have each sex.

If you are getting ready to add a baby to your family and have a special preference on what the sex is, gender predication is a method worth trying. With an effective success rate in the ninety percentile, it is not something to pass up. Trust me, when I start trying for a little boy next month, I will be using this gender predictor again!
