There are two ways to clean skateboard bearings – a fast, easy way that is OK for your bearings and a longer, more complicated way that is far better for your bearings. You should clean your skateboard bearings if your bearings have slowed down, seem mucky, or if they make a gravely, junky sound when you spin your wheels. To avoid getting to that point, you should clean your bearings fairly often, even when they are only a little dirty or just haven’t been cleaned in a long time....

Well, this is one area of dance that can be improved by employing the methods used by athletes....

Do you have an employee who has a sense of entitlement and feels that she is always burdened and overworked while other employees are “taken care of.” For example, leave time must be approved and she frequently submits leave requests for the same dates as her coworker. If you deny the time off, she argues that it is her vacation time and that she is allowed to use it whenever she wants....

But if you approach riding a motorcycle with care and caution, you can make the learning process less intimidating.

While there is no substitute for a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course, these 10 tips will help reinforce what you learn....

Nearly unheard of on modern cars with electric engine cooling fans, people sometimes still refer to the accessory drive belts as “fan belts.” This term harkens to the day when cars and trucks used drive belts to drive the cooling fan or water pump. The engine cooling fan, made of plastic or metal, isn’t hard-connected to the fan pulley or water pump, but instead is soft-connected via the fan clutch. A properly-functioning fan clutch is critical to engine reliability, as it works to maintain a safe temperature range....

The web has a vast number of resources available for learning how to play guitar. You can learn how to play fancy scales, play songs, learn to solo, and much more.

Libra will want to listen— to body language and subtle cues rather than conversation. Libra is intrigued by Pisces’ imaginative mind and hangs on every word....

While April showers bring May flowers, for many restaurants April is a transition month from winter to summer, a time to swap out menu items and connect with local farmers markets.

Are you thinking about moving into the flourishing field of web development? As you may already know, there are three types of web developers: Front-end, back-end, and full stack, which combines both. Back-end developers are responsible for and focus on the inner workings of web applications to build out the “server-side” of web applications. Server-side is the code and language that runs behind the scenes on the web server or the back-end....

In the comedy world, few performers are as polarizing as Adam Sandler. Some people love him; others hate him with the heat of a thousand fiery suns. Granted, some of Sandler’s movies are undeniably awful - who else remembers the abomination that was I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry? However, there are a few diamonds in the rough that fit solidly into the comedy film canon. These movies might not be good enough to win an Academy Award or anything like that, but they’re still solidly entertaining and have some great, enduring jokes that are still in circulation over a decade later....

20 of 20 Louvin Brothers: ‘The Christian Life’ Capitol Records The Louvin Brothers sing about the simple pleasures of leading a moral existence on “Christian Life.” It’s certainly less fire-and-brimstone than the album’s title track, “Satan Is Real.” In 1968, the song was given a modern update by the Byrds on their country-rock breakthrough “Sweethearts of the Rodeo.” Religious Song Lyric: “I won’t lose a friend by heeding God’s call. For what is a friend who’d want me to fall?...

Official Definition of Ground Under Repair in the Rules Following is the definition of “ground under repair” as written by the USGA and R&A, and as it appears in the Official Rules of Golf....

“Swamp Rock” is a genre that’s often misunderstood—confused by outsiders with the Cajun R&B stroll of “swamp pop” or, worse, merely regulated to describing songs about the swamps of the American South, from Louisiana to Florida. In fact, “swamp rock” is a fairly narrow field of music: the result of the integration of rockabilly artists with the soul explosion of the mid-60s, aided by a heavy infusion of the gritty sub-genre known as “swamp blues,” and also with a heavily rhythmic backbone that, at its loosest, could almost be described as funk....

Duets have always been perfectly suited to oldies music and love songs, mainly because rock and roll began as a combination of popular styles. Oldies duets largely focused on romantic relationships, and for many, the greatest love songs are those featuring two great 50s, 60s, and 70s artists singing directly to each other — the more believable the chemistry, the better! The following list features the most memorable romantic duets from 1950 through the 1970s....
