It's a JEEP!
YJ's are notorious for frame rust.
It's A Jeep! — Love the looks. the straight 6 is bullet proof. this thing will go anywhere. the down side of the YJ is the rust, the frame has rusted by the rear shackles and the transmission mount rusted off. Luckily, this is so common that the repair parts are readily available and cheap. If you are reasonably mechanically inclined you can do most of the repairs yourself. Welding skills a plus.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

I bought it brand new in May 1993 and it sat for 15 straight mos while I was over seas and then again it sat when I couldn't drive for being a dummy for over 18 mos and it ALWAYS started right up.
Not really built for long trips...it used to beat me to death on any rides over an hour.
Love Jeeps..this Next One Will Be My 5th Straight Jeep Wrangler/cj. — I LOVE THIS JEEP! My Dad has it now and is restoring it for me. I bought this as a present for myself after my graduation of JUMP SCHOOL in 1993. It starts and drives every time I go home for a visit and I LOVE IT!
Primary Use: Commuting to work

4.0L I6 engine, half top, herculined floor, pros are too many too list
Rain water gets in, sticky second gear
Great Jeep! — Love The Look And The Way It Handles. — I liked this Wrangler because it looked different than most. It had a half top, custom bumpers, a winch, steel wheels with oversize tires, and rectangular headlights. That's right it is a YJ. I really enjoyed the way it drove and did a lot of thinking about weather my next Jeep should have the I6 engine and leaf spring suspension.

Trail Rated - It's a Jeep, what more can you say?
On highway ride, noise, and comfort.
Jeep - The Name Says It All. — The most fun you can have on 4 wheels for under $5000! Everyone should own a Jeep at least once in their lives. While not the most practical vehicle I've ever owned, suffice it to say it has been the most fun!

New flower beds a disaster
We just bought our home last year and it was a total blank space. There was lawn, kind of, and lots of trash and dead or diseased trees. Anyway, I started my flowerbeds and veggy gardens last year. This year I am finding that a lot of my perennials are not behaving as the tags and catalogs said. Penstemmon that was suppose to be 14 inches tall is well over two feet tall and the Canterbury bells are pushing 4 feet tall. I expected to have to shuffle a few things around but not most things! Don't the plants read their own tags and know how to grow!!
Nope! I have been working the same garden for 7 years now, and each year there are always one or two plants towards the front that are taller than the back row, even though I move the offenders. Or I allow for the width it is "supposed" to grow, and it ends up eating all its neighbors. When I see gardens where everything fits together perfectly, I am always amazed at how that is even possible!
I was just thinking how luck you were to have plants exceeding their expectations.
You can always move them. Over the years, I've had to move plenty of things as the conditions in my yard change. What once was a fully sunny spot is now shaded by a tree that spent the last 10 years growing. I had to move all the sunny things and replant with shady ones.

Greenpeace activists paint two gigantic cracks on the 32 year old nuclear reactor dome at Borssele, Netherlands. The Dutch government wants to keep the plant, one of the world's oldest, open beyond 2013, despite inherent safety and security risks.
Climate change is a priority issue for us here at Greenpeace. Disruptions to ecosystems will likely harm everything from minke whales to coral reefs to polar bears. Whole forests will be lost, and hundreds of thousands of species will become extinct. Climate change will bring devastation to people and communities, especially some of the world's poorest.
Certainly, a big part of our job is bringing home to people everywherethe realities of climate change and the struggle against it. To name names, protest corporations, shame governments - while helping make climate change solutions a reality.
Our expeditions document the impacts of climate change on people and ecosystems. Our professional negotiators, scientists and policy expertsattend world climate conferences and persuade decision makers to take action. Our volunteers and cyberactivists keep up the pressure on lawmakers and corporations. Our activists put their safety and freedom on the line for even the smallest chance to change the world.
Luckily enough, Greenpeace is itself only part of a much larger movement towards positive energy policy. We are fortunate to work with and beside many other environmental organisations, as well as many companies, governments and individuals who share our dedication, optimism and belief that there is a solution for every problem.
If you would like to be a part of this global movement, and like how wework, please choose to volunteer, sign up as a cyberactivst, and/orsupport us financially. For more ways to help see the Take Action page.

Have you ever wondered what your dog does all day while you are at work? It probably goes something like: lay on the couch, get a drink of water, sniff the floor, lay on the couch, look out the window, lay on the couch…well you get the picture! Soon your dog will probably start to make his own fun while you are at work, and that can lead to bad news for your house. That is where Waggy Tails comes in…
As pet care professionals, Waggy Tails dog walkers provide one-on-one dog walking adventures for your stay-at-home pooches. Our goal is to provide the same individual and undivided attention that you would provide your dog while you go walking together. We strive to maintain training through positive reinforcement and personalized care, to ensure the safety of your dog. Whether it is a walk around the block or hike through the woods, our dog walkers are fully focused on the exercise and enjoyment of your pup.
Waggy Tails offers daily visits Monday through Friday, or we can schedule visits for specific days throughout the week depending on your schedule. We are not only available mid-day, but also in the afternoons and evenings – perfect if you have alternative hours, or just want to head out for dinner after work. A dog walking visit including feeding (if needed), fresh water, a walk and/or playtime, training reinforcement, and a daily note recounting our adventure for the day.
Dog Walking Services
Dog Walks – starting at $19
We offer two different walk length options – a Standard Walk (visit averages 20 minutes) and an Extended Walk (visit averages 40 minutes). These walks include time for greeting and leashing up your dog, taking a brisk walk, and a final cool down inside with water and treats.
Our walkers will use best judgement for walk lengths during inclement weather (extreme heat, severe rain, snow, etc). In these situations indoor play will be used as a alternative, along with a bathroom break.
Standard Walk = $20
Extended Walk = $24
If your dog requires regularly scheduled Monday-Friday, 5 days per week walks, we do offer a discounted rate of $19 for Standard Walks ($95/week) and $23 for Extended Walks ($115/week). If you have a regular schedule of Monday-Thursday, 4 days per week walks, we can also discuss the discounted rate.
Last Minute Reservations
Any dog walk requested on the same day as the walk occurs will incur a $5 same day booking fee.
Cancellation Policy
To cancel a mid-day dog walk, email or leave a voicemail on the office phone, or contact your dog walker, at least by the day before the walk. There will be no penalty for canceling if the cancellation is made the day prior to the walk. Cancellations made the day of the walk will be charged in full for the visit.
You can also check out our Dog Walking F.A.Q's for more information.
For more information about our payment policy, cancellation policy and
key agreement etc, please visit our Policies page for full details!

And Now For A Post About Salsa
We try to stick pretty closely to home improvement and decorating related content, but when we saw this little five dollar salsa kit at the farmer's market we immediately loved the "homey" feeling it gave us. And it was a DIY project of sorts. We also thought it would make an adorable hostess or housewarming gift. Who knew tossing salsa ingredients into a decorative basket or bowl could be so darn cute?
After happily handing five dollars over in return for some locally grown salsa ingredients, John sweetly asked if it came with any directions. The response? Just chop everything up and let it stand for an hour. It doesn't get much easier than that. So we stopped for some tortilla chips and got to work whipping up our homemade salsa as soon as we got home.
It took about fifteen minutes for us to chop up the varied collection of tomatoes along with the garlic and the onion (and we only used half of the jalapeño because we're wusses). Before we knew it we had a multi-colored bowl of goodness staring us in the face.
And what's that bowl in the background of the photo above? That's what I like to call John's Rachael Ray bowl. He likes to use a regular old cereal bowl to collect the skin and ends of all the stuff we chop to keep the counter and the cutting board nice and clean. Didn't I hit the jackpot when I married my little chef? It's also nice because it easily allows us to pick out the stuff we can compost and then dump the rest of it in the garbage in one fell swoop. Another bowl bonus? Using it to collect the waste while we cook keeps the base cabinet where we store our garbage pail and compost container much cleaner since we only open it once at the end of the project instead of constantly tossing things in the trash with dirty hands as we go.
But back to the salsa at hand. After our chop fest we just let it sit for an hour or so in the fridge and then it was fiesta time.
So what do you guys think? Wouldn't a DIY salsa kit make a cute little gift for a friend? Or a sweet little date night activity? And while we're on the subject of DIY meals, do you have any other favorite snacks or meals to whip up in a snap that still feel special and fun? Do tell. We also love making s'mores in our backyard firepit… and come to think of it a s'mores kit would also be a great gift. Gotta love DIY projects that result in a delicious treat.

What are all the different vegetables? I can make out the obvious ones, but what about the tiny circular yellow things? And are those green tomatoes? Super cute gift idea.
Sherry! I'm also from Richmond… which farmer's market did you get this from? i love this idea and would love to pick some up for the weekend!
Love the salsa kit idea!! A nice way to give veggies out of your garden as well.
YUM! What a fabulous idea, and such cute simple packaging goes a long way.
One question- How much of the garlic did you guys use? 2 or so cloves?
So cute! We just made homemade tacos recently and whipped up our own salsa and guacamole–that would be adorable as a gift.
When we're super hungry and haven't been able to grocery shop much but need to whip up dinner, we find we usually have breakfast ingredients on hand. So we have what we call "AM in the PM"–we whip up french toast or pancakes, have some eggs and bacon, a cup of fresh fruit or whatever mix of breakfast ingredients we have and have a quick, fun and easy meal. I love breakfast food but am not always that hungry in the morning so I love getting a chance to eat it for dinner.
That is such a cute (and tasty) idea!
This is such a smart idea for a hostess gift.
The yellow-ish green ones look like tomatillos to me.
If you want a neat little sweet addition to your salsa, add peaches, dried pineapple(the kind you get in the store that's sugar coated, and a little cilantro. My friends and I make this and we can't stop eating it!
I will totally make my own salsa kids for a gift along with a Pampered Chef Food Chopper (a great invention). It will simplify the chopping process and make this salsa extra easy to make. This is also an awesome budget friendly way to give an housewarming gift. Thanks for the idea.
I bet a salsa-garden-in-a-pot would make a good Spring housewarming gift for someone who doesn't have room for a garden. Just a simple salsa – tomato, jalapeno, onion, maybe garlic. Few enough things so you don't need too giant of a pot.
For those that are interested, I've noticed a similar salsa kit, and a guac kit, at Trader Joes in Northern VA. I know a new Trader Joes opened up in the Short Pump area in Richmond, might be worth checking out!
Oooh, that looks soo yummy! Need to find a farmer's market somewhere other than IN D.C. You've inspired me!
That is too cute. We always made salsa as a family growing up….It was soo fun! I can't beleive y'all only used half of the jalapeno! That is exactly the opposite of our house. We would have used 2! HA!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I love Amy's Garden booth at the farmer's market. I think the yellow tomatoes are SunGold cherry tomatoes – yummy. The green ones might be Zebra, if they have some stripes (can't tell from the pic). And of course, the smaller red ones are some variety of Romas, maybe Juliettes? That's what my parents grow. The salsa looks yummy. I have to have cilantro and lime juice in mine, though.
What a great idea! I LOVE it! Will definitely file this away in the "gift idea" file. Thanks!
So what's the verdict? Was it any good? :)
I am all about the guacamole this summer. Can't get enough of it. It's so easy, quick and yummy.
I've bought a salsa kit like this from Trader Joe's before. I'm not sure if they're still doing it but I always loved the idea & it turned out great!
Trader Joes has salsa kits and guac kits as well. And Im thinking they were pretty cheap too! My hubby always adds a can of pinto beans, a can of corn, a bunch of cilantro, and a dash of sugar to his salsa kit…and it comes with us to every potluck were invited to. We were actually thinking about canning it for Christmas presents this year! My hubby is so domesticated!
You guys have just made me SO hungry!
Our Trader Joes does both salsa kits and guacamole kits. Although I think it would be super cute to package them up cutely. This buy a motar and pestle (from Target) and pile up all the gauc ingredients in there.
Around Christmas I give fudge kits with my grandmas recipes.
Someone at my old farmer's market in Irvine used to do those little kits, too! And Trader Joe's often does a guacamole one for pretty cheap.
BTW, I love your new bedroom ceiling! Quite a lovely upgrade – and what a deal!
This is such a cute idea! Kudos to the F.M. stand owner who packaged it up that way. Thanks for sharing. One of my fave little snacks is taking a slice of salami, adding a bit of cream cheese in the middle, then adding a few sliced pepperchini's. Fold the salami in half, and if you are making a bunch secure it with a toothpick. I don't usually get that far though, because I pop em right in my mouth!
Wow, I'm so hungry now. I think I'll have to pick up some salsa and chips on the way home!
Hubby and I are salsa/guacamole loving freaks!!! We make our own salsa only occasionally, but always make our own guacamole. Never thought of it as a DIY though, just fresh food! Yours sure looks delish!

A cool sculpture garden for inspiration
On my birthday recently dh took me to the Path of Life Sculpture Garden in Windsor VT. We took dfd and her boyfriend with us.
Although the garden is huge and the art is to scale, I still found myself thinking about my own small property. For instance the maze made me think about having some things hidden, and coming up on paths or areas that are like a surprise.
Here are the other 3 of them in the hemlock maze. The maze was surprisingly fun, tho we thought about the movie "The Shining". The maze symbolizes adolescence - Adventure.
You can see the figures symbolizing Community from the maze giving a hint of things to come.
Here's another shot of the maze from another part of the garden. There is a bell that you can ring when you reach the middle:
There was humor:
And teepees (where apparently people doing kayak or canoe tours can stay overnight - not sure how that part of the business works):
It was a beautiful time, in a beautiful place!
Check out my blog for more pics. I have some very large sculptures posted but I can imagine smaller versions for home (especially guitar guy). The link below will send you to one post, and I link to the other at the end of that post.
Here is a link that might be useful: POL Garden on Kathy's blog

what is causing dark green streaks in bottom of toilet
kookoo2December 13, 2010
We recently installed (and mostly love) a Coroma dual-flush toilet. In the past few weeks, I've noticed there are dark green streaks in the corners at the bottom of the bowl. They are almost hidden, toward the trap I guess, below the water line. It's not from our "waste." It's not hard to scrub away with a brush, but it keeps coming back. Any idea what's causing this, and how to deal with it? Thanks!

From a design engineers perspective"intel inside" was a game changer. In put the user/consumer in the design chain. Up until that time design engineers were able to go away and make all the decisions with respect to the components they would use to achieve the required function. From "AD-intel inside" somebody outside the design chain was involved in determining component selection, imposing a new design constraint. Perhaps a closer to home and different view of "branding to consumers".

Mayor Kevin Johnson is sure to like the latest proposal floating around Sacramento City Hall to greatly enhance his authority. That is, if he ever gets around to reading it.
Johnson said today he hadn't "gotten my hands on" a plan released last week by a group of political and business big shots that would give the mayor's office added authority over the city manager and budget. The measure was hand-delivered to the City Council at last week's meeting, but Johnson was not in attendance.
The City Council is scheduled to debate whether to place the plan on the ballot at next Tuesday's meeting.
Sacramento Tomorrow, the group that penned the proposal, said it sought community input on the idea of giving Johnson the same kind of powers enjoyed by mayors in many large cities. But the group also went out of its way to say it had not sought the influence of Johnson in crafting the plan.
For his part, Johnson thinks the voters will get a chance to weigh on the plan after three other "strong mayor" proposals failed to make the ballot. He said there's "a good shot" the council will place this plan before the voters.
"I think it's something that our community has been talking about for four-plus years," he said.

Mismatched sets and perfect imperfectionsMaybe I saw one too many matching sets. Or maybe I heard the phrase "coordinating pieces" once too often. Whatever the reason, at a trade show this spring I found myself drawn to housewares that didn't match perfectly. Take the Sophie Conran Christmas Collection from Portmeirion, which has a set of four cups and saucers with four different patterns. It's a found-it-in-the-flea-market look, which if you tried it, is not easy to pull off, unless you have the right eye and loads of confidence or you are a magazine editor.

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
Since the 2010 Dietary Guidelines, more evidence has piled up showing the benefits of drinking water and the risks of sugary beverages. So scientists say it's time for a water symbol on MyPlate.
The American Beverage Association poured tons of cash into the effort to defeat the penny-per-ounce sugary-drink tax. But the effort to pass the tax also got cash infusions from some big-name donors.
Homemade, naturally fermented ginger beer is far easier to make than you'd imagine. All you need is ginger, sugar, lemons, and a little patience. Kate Williams will show you how.
There's a new wrinkle to the old debate over diet soda: Artificial sweeteners may alter our microbiomes. And for some, this may raise blood sugar levels and set the stage for diabetes.
The UCSF endocrinologist tells you how (and why) to start reducing sugar in your diet…and yes, you can still eat dessert.
A new study argues that taxing sodas and sugary drinks by the calorie would spur consumers to cut back. A 6-cent tax per 12-ounce can would lead to 5,800 fewer calories consumed per year, it found.
U.S. sales of sugared and diet sodas have slumped. So soda-makers are trying to win back consumers with new flavors and less sugar. But historically, midcalorie sodas haven't sold very well.
Chemistry is complicated; that includes ingredients in artificially flavored fizzy drinks. Soda makers bowed to pressure to drop brominated vegetable oil, but its safety hasn't been very well studied.

Gah, just had to express my milk so the doc could send a swab off. Luckily she was very matter of fact so it only felt 'quite' weird. She is not too worried but is going to chat to the gp I saw last time and get back to me.
Caro versus Rotty sounds exhausting! Plus how did it get so huge before they decided to spay it - argh!
Eh? But in my eyes while he is still financially supporting her he hasn't really moved on, is he divorced yet? Weird.
Am finally back on track with my running, just did 8 miles averaging under 9 minute miles, bloody hard work though!
EF - I'm sure it still does 'hurt', you had to make an awful decision but I'm pretty sure most of us would have done the same thing too xxx
CM - hmm, I don't think I realised that situation with N was still dragging on. It sounds like in lots of ways he is a great guy but it won't help if he can't sort it out as that will shadow the relationship you have which isn't helpful.

With a new "United We Ball" campaign against the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and its Draconian enforcement action. Background here and here (& Scott Shackford, Reason).
Search Results for 'buckyballs'
WSJ on Buckyballs: "the government wants to ruin the CEO who fought back."
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the very disturbing legal war being waged by the Consumer Product Safety Commission against Craig Zucker, CEO of a company that made Buckyballs, the adult magnetic-balls desk toy. After the CPSC decided to ban his product, Zucker fought back in the arena of public opinion, aiming satirical barbs at the commission and individual commissioners. CPSC then proceeded to pull him into the action personally as a party, seeking (on the basis of legal theories rarely if ever used in the past) to tag him with recall liability that the agency estimated at $57 million.
This weekend the Wall Street Journal came out with a big feature on the case, including an interview with Zucker by the Journal's Sohrab Ahmari. Some highlights:
* At a time when sale of Buckyballs was still quite lawful pending adjudication, "and before Maxfield & Oberton [Zucker's firm] had a chance to tell its side of the story," the agency sent letters to major retailers asking that Buckyballs be pulled from shelves; most did, wishing to avoid trouble.
* The "responsible corporate officer" doctrine, which the CPSC cites as grounds for holding Zucker personally liable, has been very seldom invoked in the past, and the circumstances here (including the lack of reference to officer liability in the CPSC's enabling statute) suggest that the Buckyballs case doesn't fit. [More on that poor fit in this recent paper, previously linked in this space.]
* As for motives to go after Mr. Zucker, he provided a lot of them. During his attempt to fight the ban, his online "ads pointed out how, under the commission's reasoning, everything from coconuts ('tasty fruit or deadly sky ballistic?') to stairways ('are they really worth the risk?') to hot dogs ('delicious but deadly') could be banned. Commission staff were challenged to debate Mr. Zucker, and consumers were invited to call Commissioner Inez Tenenbaum's 'psychic hotline' to find out how it was that 'the vote to sue our company was presented to the Commissioners on July 23rd, a day before our Corrective Action Plan was to be submitted.'" The thing is, you'd think, or hope, that the First Amendment to the Constitution would protect the right of a regulated party to talk back in this way, even disrespectfully.
Michigan-based commentator Bob Dorigo Jones, who has previously commented on the Buckyballs affair, wrote this on Facebook:
Buckyballs were a Godsend to our son, Johnny, last summer as he laid in a hospital bed recovering from a serious brain injury. He couldn't watch TV or look at any type of screen because it hurt his eyes too much. He couldn't read because it gave him headaches. But he could play with the Buckyballs that we purchased at the HOSPITAL gift store. They made a long stay in the ICU much more tolerable. Ironically, the same week he was in the hospital, an overreaching government agency banned the sales of Buckyballs — even to adults. Read this interview to get the full story on the Buckyballs saga. This is what happens when personal injury lawyers and their allies make the rules. We slowly lose our freedoms.

Buckyballs maker gives up
"Oh Buckyballs, my Buckyballs. The addictive magnetic desk toy succumbs to government pressure and resigns itself to life as a cherished relic of the past." [Amanda Kooser, CNet] Earlier on the manufacturer's war with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) here, here, etc.
"Buckyballs vs. the CPSC"
The maker of the popular rare earth magnetic adult toy is defiant, and Reason.tv has a video [earlier here, here, and here]. "We're the first company in 11 years that has said no to the Consumer Product Safety Commission."
CPSC's Buckyballs ban
Buckyballs are highly popular supermagnetic desktop toys for adults and labeled against use by kids. Nonetheless, some kids obtain the tiny balls and swallow them, with harmful or even lethal results. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has responded with an unusually aggressive show of legal muscle to force the product off the market: while suing the manufacturer, it strong-armed retailers into suspending Buckyball sales, thus cutting off the manufacturer's revenue while a court decides whether the commission had an adequate basis in law and fact for its action.

Craig Zucker settles with CPSC
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission:
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is announcing a voluntary recall of all Buckyballs and Buckycubes. … Refunds will be processed through a Recall Trust that will be funded by Mr. Zucker, but created and controlled by CPSC.
According to Zucker in a press release:
The settlement amount is less than 1% of the original $57 million that the CPSC estimated a recall to cost and is not a fine or penalty….
In February of 2013, the CPSC took unprecedented action by naming Zucker personally under the controversial Park Doctrine as an officer of the company that sold Buckyballs®.
This happened after Zucker, in what was itself an unusual if not unprecedented stand for an executive at a firm subject to CPSC regulation, took a vigorous public stand defending his product against the commission's recall demands and even employed jokes and caricatures to make fun of CPSC commissioners. Earlier coverage here. More: Nancy Nord.
