Q. I have a small, portable one-room air conditioner that I've used for several years. Now, some of the grease has leaked from the rear of the unit onto the vinyl siding of my house. How do I clean it off?

A. Always try soap and water first or the cleaner that is recommended. Having said that, and because the grease you're describing is probably a petrochemical based material (not silicone), it can probably best be cleaned using something like gasoline or acetone.

First, make sure there are no flames or sparks nearby, and turn off and disconnect any nearby appliances that could spark while you're working. No smoking during this project.

Then, simply put a very small amount of gasoline onto the rag and wipe. The stain will disappear.

2/7 TNA Impact Hitlist: Roode's Promo, Misty on a Pole, Lame Gimmicks ...

I really hope TNA isn't stupid enough to do another Feast or Fired ever. 4 Corner Capture Misty Match: If I ever get a chance to argue in front of a judge that TNA should do fewer gimmick matches, I will use this match as evidence. The concept of this match was ridiculous. The fact that this match came from Kaz added to its stupidity. He should want major revenge on Black Reign. If that is the case, then why come up with this lame match instead of a match where he could really get revenge. Why does he even want the stupid rat? Shouldn't he want to hurt Black Reign, not just try to win the rat that he already had possession of? What was in it for Kaz? And in the end, the match didn't even matter as Black Reign simply beat Kaz up and stole the rat that Kaz had rightly won. The concept of this match was terribly silly, which is a shame, because the actual wrestling in the match was decent.

Dining with the sharks is a thrill

Most of us don't encounter sharks in our daily lives, so our impressions come from movies and news reports. We know that sharks occasionally attack and sometimes kill vacationers wading in the warm waters of a Florida beach or surfers in California or Australia.

Where Does TJX Lie on the Naughty-Nice Line?

If we move away from the question, "Did TJX do everything possible to try and protect consumer data?" (which merits a "What planet are you on? Of course it didn't,") and focus on, "Did TJX do what was reasonable and appropriate at the time it did it?" things look a lot different.

The latest news was utterly predictable. TJX's deal with Visa, in which TJX would give money to certain banks in exchange for promises to not sue, was approved overwhelmingly on Dec. 20. Two days earlier, TJX also worked out similar settlements with most of the banks suing it. In short, only one bank is left suing TJX and that litigation will happen in Alabama state court. The consumer class action lawsuit is essentially settled as well. (The final approval will come from a federal judge who has already said he will approve it.)

The core problem with the TJX cases is that the lawsuits wanted to accuse TJX of something that is not illegal in any state.
