TUPELO – Tupelo's City Council delivered Mayor Jason Shelton a victory in his first budget presented, approving by a supermajority a $37.1 million document that doesn't raise taxes but creates an in-house attorney position, a first for the city in recent memory.
Council members swayed between talk of decreasing personnel costs to supporting the new mayor's vision for the city during today's special meeting to pass the 2014 fiscal year budget that begins on Oct. 1.
Having modeled the budget presented after the current year's budget, Shelton's major policy change in the document involved creating a city legal department. The current law firm handling the Tupelo's legal services is Mitchell McNutt & Sams, which has contracted with the city for 36 of the last 40 years.
Shelton said he wasn't aware of the city ever hiring an in-house attorney until now.
"If I didn't firmly believe it would work, I wouldn't have advocated for it," the mayor said after the Council passed the budget.
The City Council passed the budget by a 5-2 margin. Councilmen Markel Whittington of Ward 1 and Mike Bryan of Ward 6 voted against it.
As recently as late last week, four councilmen appeared likely to vote against the budget. However, one of them, Buddy Palmer of Ward 5, brokered a compromise that led the City Council to pass Shelton's only major request in the budget.

Duncan, Klein Cast in Street Fighter Movie
Additional actors announced to join Kreuk in adaptation.
Michael Clarke Duncan (The Green Mile) will portray Balrog in the film, while Chris Klein (American Pie) has been cast as Nash (Charlie in the U.S. games). Additionally, Rick Yune (The Fast and the Furious) will fill the role of Gen, while Moon Bloodgold (Pathfinder), Edmund Chen (Saigon Eclipse), Cheng Pei Pei (Shanghai Baby), and Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas have been cast as unspecified characters. According to the Variety report, the producers are still seeking an actor for the role of Bison.
Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li is set to begin filming in March, with shooting locations in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Vancouver. Director Andrzej Bartkowiak (DOOM) is helming the adaptation, based on a script by Justin Marks (Unbroken). Dion Lam, who worked on The Matrix and Spider-Man 2, will serve as fight choreographer on the film. No word yet on an expected release target for the film, but with luck, it'll be considerably less funny than the 1994 version of Street Fighter, which starred Jean-Claude Van Damme as Guile.

Oh man I can't believe they're attempting to make another one! And why the heck did Kristen Kreuk even accept the role?? She's so good on smallville why would she ruin her career like this?
Bah, stop complaining!!!Posted: Feb 19, 2008 12:00AM PST by Bloodbathes
Everyone complain about SF go 3D.....look what happen, I like SF4 just fine...and a lot of people seem to like it as well. Well, the same can be apply here. Stop bitching about the film before you get to watch it (not even a trailer was made)! Jump the gun much? Its not like this's a Uwe Boll's film. One bad precedent doesn't make it a trend.

After casting the worst choice for the lead, they cast okay, to good choices for everything else. Now we'll be thinking what could have been as we watch a horrible film
No more Street Fighter moviesPosted: Feb 19, 2008 12:00AM PST by projectrunaway
After the 1994 movie Street Fighter which was the worse movie based on a videogame, why can't Capcom just realize that fighting games don't make good movies. Who would want to see a movie about Chun Li when it could be about Ryu and Ken. Michael Clark Duncan seems like an old choice to play Barlog but at least Charlie is in the movie. I just hope that the rest of cast gets announced for who going to play who.
Holly Wood never learnsPosted: Feb 19, 2008 12:00AM PST by ghettogamer1216
I swear they are the dumbest people on this planet. Did they not learn from the last Live Action Street Fighter movie that.....it doesnt work. You cant make a Live action street fighter movie....well you can...but not a good one....well you can do that too...BUT THEY DONT KNOW HOW!!! They need to scrap it. It will save all of us time and money
Have We learned NOTHING?!Posted: Feb 19, 2008 12:00AM PST by Gixman
Seriously as much as i love the street fighter franchise and i love chun-li they should've gotten a chinese actress to portray chun-li. Kristin kruek may be popular on smallville as lana lang but a chun-li she does not make. And anyway as was learned by th horrible last live action street fighter movie,a movie about chun li will simply bomb even if the character herself is semi-popular amoung die hard Street fighter fans. but that's just my opinion.

It's something of a fidgety day.
Ole Bailey usually loves to go outside and help me garden but today, he's just looking at me sorrowfully and begging for more treats.
Manders is celebrating her 24th birthday, but I'm having a hard time reaching her. Does that mean she can't answer her phone because she's been run over by a truck? The thought crosses my mind.
The presidential election is only two weeks away, but the experts say it's too close to call. Wouldn't it be nice to let everybody vote tomorrow, and get it over with? I think of myself as a political junkie, but even I am getting tired of the back and forth between the two campaigns.
Also, the holidays…clomp, clomp, clomp…have snuck up on me again. In the beer department at the grocery store, there are holiday brews. A certain sister of mine called to talk about the Christmas holidays and a 90th birthday in January. Some people are probably Christmas shopping already, but please, don't tell me about it.
Also, my mom had a Thanksgiving question. She likes to make the turkey, but for complicated reasons, it's more convenient for her to make it the day before. She asked me, "Is that OK?"
Whaddya think? I'm too fidgety to come up with the right answer.

I read this morning and wanted to cry
Gluten Issues or Celiac? Don't Drink Coffee!
I will pay someone to debunk this. Please with coffee on top!!
I feel awesome after a cup of coffee. I feel like garbage after eating wheat.
Study debunked.
Its true, i have massive reactions after coffee sometimes..its a no no if you are truly gluten sensitive..i just watched a neurologists video series on this the other day actually
My understanding is that when your body's been jacked for so long, it can cross react with just about anything. Given time and healing, and strict adherence, it may stop doing so.
Does coffee make you feel like crap? Are you diagnosed with celiac disease? Do you have a serious autoimmune condition? Then drop it for 30 days, reintroduce, and see what happens. You may get headaches, but you will not die from being without coffee for a month, I promise. I dropped all sorts of stuff back in December, reintroduced, and found out that with the exception of alcohol, not much interferes with my day-to-day. I've also been paleo for over a year. I also note that Robb Frickin' Wolf, Mister "I was going to have my bowel resectioned at 27 until I found paleo", drinks coffee prolifically. So in my book, it's a case-by-case basis.
I feel great after my cup of half-caff. I like the taste, I like the ritual, I am not giving it up anytime soon.
Final note: Health Home Economist is run by a WAPF board member. WAPF has a history of being against coffee and chocolate. Keep that in mind when reading her or Cheeseslave's site.
My Primal Meanderings
Following this with interest!
I can't quit my BFF, coffee. It never makes me feel bad. Actually my Aunt was talking about a study just a week or so ago that said drinking up to 3 cups of coffee per day was good for...something I can't remember! I'll have to ask her again.
"It's not a hill it's a mountain as we start out the climb..."
I see no peer-reviewed research on coffee and gluten reactivity. I tracked the blog you linked back to a doctor who claims it's "internal laboratory research" but does not reveal any of the science, what tests were used, what the proteins are, or anything else. He then links to a specific lab testing company as the place to get tested for this sensitivity. All that pushes my scam buttons. There's no information that I can find on this on any of the celiac association websites or in any good medical/scientific journals, so it seems quite questionable to me.
If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive. --Audre Lorde
Owly's Journal
HOORAY! I love my coffee. I am glad I don't have to even consider that it could be similar to gluten!

Resident Evil
You often hear about certain games, television shows, movies, sporting moments, etc "saving" their respective industry. In the gaming world both Pac-Man and Super Mario Bros. are often credited for saving the dying industry. While no one would claim Capcom's Resident Evil saved the gaming industry as a whole, it may have just done that for me on a personal level.
When Resident Evil was released near the beginning of the PlayStation's life, I was going through many changes. I was seventeen and had just finished high school. I had a new car, a new job and a couple new girl friends. Between my job and my desire to be out with my friends as often as possible, I spent very little time gaming. Before this time, video games were still mostly seen as something for kids and I was starting to convince myself it was time to put the "toys" away.
This also happened to be the dawn of 3D-console and disc-based games (at least decent to good ones). The drastic changes gaming was seeing at this time was too intriguing for me to ignore completely. Seeing as I had money burning a hole in my pocket for the first time in my life, I decided to purchase a PlayStation, out of curiosity more than anything. One of the first games I purchased was Resident Evil - a survivor horror game. Perhaps if I was ever a PC gamer I would have felt differently, but the entire idea of a "horror" video game was silly - a video game simply could not be scary.
I first played Resident Evil around 11:00 pm after coming home from a movie. Again, I was more curious than anything, and figured I would go out of my way to see if it could be scary, by turning out all the lights out and the sound up. I would not be disappointed.
While the acting is beyond bad (come on, that HAS to be on purpose, no one can act that poorly), it was nevertheless exciting to see video game characters talking at all. The graphics were insane. To my mind at the time, that looked like real life. Sure it was difficult to control, but that made it even more tense when that first zombie turned away from the dead corpse it was munching on and looked directly at me.
After running through the door and letting Barry kill that zombie, I spent a lot of time in the first couple rooms. I told myself it was to admire the realistic backgrounds and atmosphere, but honestly, I think I was just scared to go through the next door. As I progressed in the game it only got more nerve-racking as I realized if one of these zombies finishes me off, I'll lose all the progress since my last limited save and have to face all the zombies I had already dealt with again.
Resident Evil, again, like every game on this list, changed my perspective of what games were. Video games were no longer just toys for children. The first time I got the shotgun in Resident Evil, and blew a zombie's head completely off, I was eager to show the game off to my friends instead of trying to hide the fact I still play video games.
As for the game itself, the original Resident Evil is still one of my favorite games. I loved all the early Resident Evil games, mainly because of the formula set by the original. Most of today's games, including Resident Evil 4 and 5, that claim to be survival horror fail to duplicate the atmosphere of these PS1 titles. I imagine this is because certain aspects of the original Resident Evil titles have been deemed to be bad design for whatever reason by modern standards. No checkpoints, limited saves, true limited ammo, etc simply isn't allowed to fly often any more. I can't speak for everyone, but a horror game isn't scary to me if I have nothing to lose. I don't care how gruesome your little cut-scene of my death is, if I have nothing to lose but two minutes of gameplay, I am not going to be very nervous of anything you can throw at me.
The other reason I still believe the early Resident Evil games are superior to modern Resident Evil and other horror games is the sense of exploration. Resident Evil 4 and 5 admittedly have a superior combat system, but the games might as well be on rails. In Resident Evil 1, I could do things in many different orders and would have a very different experience. For example, while playing as Jill, I can ignore Barry completely and head straight up stairs. If I do, I'll find different enemies and while I may have a more difficult time getting passed them, I will be rewarded with different weapons and items. Playing through the early part of the game with a shotgun is a lot different than playing with a bazooka. Not to mention, if I do things just a bit differently, they can have unexpected out comes, such as accidentally killing off certain allies. I think I was on my fourth play-through before I realized I could get Barry killed.
I am still holding out hope for a survior horror game to come along and surpass Resident Evil, but in order to do so a developer will have to take a few risks and go against some of the current industry standards. Dead Space 2's (wonderful game by the way) hardcore mode comes close by limiting the number of saves may come close, but you can't even attempt that mode until finishing the game at least once. By the time I tried it myself I pretty much had the game memorized. And as good as the Dead Space games are, they don't offer what the original Resident Evil game did - the freedom to explore and figure out the best way to survive on my own.

Experts testified in the Dominican Republic that the fatal bullet did not come from Simon's gun during a New Year Eve's shooting of Michel Castillo Almonte, 25.
No witnesses have claimed to have seen Simon fire the gun. He was facing up to two years in prison if convicted.
The 30-year-old Simon made 23 appearances - 16 starts - for the Orioles this past season, posting a 4-9 record and 4.90 ERA.

Nice find man. If it does work, how would you get your VC back to normal?
Credit to Wimod forums. You can also use all the old exploits that worked on the GC, such as the exploit of using AC to run roms. Enjoy, if this is wrong to post, please delete this and warn me. IAM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR WII CONSOLE! [/QUOTE]Want to browse the internet before WII's Opera is launched?
Heres how::
Step One:
Download Simple DNS Plus at JH Software
Install Simple DNS Plus
Step Two:
Once you have Simple DNS Plus opened goto Tools -> Edit DNS Records
In the DNS records goto tools --> Quick Domain Wizard
In the domain field type "oss.shop.wii.com"
for the webserver ip type in the ip of the website to goto (if you want to find out the ip goto cmd prompt and type ping sitename.com)
google's IP is 188.8.131.52
so bascially put that in as the "Web Server IP"
Erase the secondary DNS Server and press OK
On the WII
Goto the Wii Menu
Wii Settings
Connection Settings
Chose your connection
Change settings
click next 3 times until you get to the DNS setup, Click Advanced Settings
Then enter the primary DNS as your computers IP address: (to get that goto cmd prompt on the computer and type ipconfig)
click ok and launch the Shopping Channel, it should bring up google now!

Type in the VC url in again I'm guessing. I don't have a Wii yet to try all this and also try my theories.Originally Posted by ABC
Yeah, I don't think I'll try this just yet. I can wait until the Opera browser is released and live.
The only thing I'm hesitant over is getting virtual console back... So I won't do it just yet...
I downloaded the program. But, I can't even open it. Weird
Do the steps backwards and copy down the second DNS number? It isn't hard to connect back to your VC page.Originally Posted by Jenova
To get VC back:
in the Wii connection settings, change the DNS back from your computer's IP to autodetect (or whatever you were using before). My problem is: When I change the settings on the Wii, it has to test the connection, and it fails because the ping is going to google rather than the Wii servers, and it's not returning. Still working on this one.
... but what do I know?...
Not currently accepting friend adds.
It doesn't work. I've gotten past the connection test (there is another server you have to add), but I think it expects a specific reply back from the Nintendo severs, which it doesn't get from google. Looks like we just have to wait for Opera (unless someone comes up with something else)
... but what do I know?...

Abby from Style Me Pretty recently created the most adorable Pink Birthday Party for her daughter Audrey's first birthday! From pink balloons & cupcakes to pink margaritas for the adults, you can check out all the pink-a-licious details over at Cookie magazine.
She's also generously offered to share the DIY tips for these adorable Bubble Tin Favors with us, so read on for all the how-to info, plus a downloadable template for the labels and a few more detail shots from the party!
• 6" Tin Cans, found at Specialty Bottle
• Craft Sealant (such as Loctite or Amazing Goop) for inside/base of can to help prevent leaking & rusting
• Pink Pipe Cleaners, found at Michaels
• Bubble Solution, found at iParty
• Raffia, found at Michaels
• Full Sheet Label Paper, found at Office Depot
• Computer / Color Printer
• Paper Cutter
1. Treat the inside of the cans with craft sealant to help prevent leaking or rusting.
(Note: This is an update to the instructions as per December 2011 after seeing via the comments that some readers had trouble with leaky cans.)
2. Download and print out the template for the bubble labels and trim just under and above the pink lines (so that the lines show) and horizontally at the end of the pink lines.
3. Adhere to the tins using as light of a tough as possible so you don't leave fingerprints.
4. To create the pipe cleaner wands, shape the top of the wand into a circle, then twist the end around the handle.
5. Measure your raffia to about 18." Holding the pipe cleaner in place, wrap the raffia around the wand and the tin, tying in a bow at the front.
6. Fill the tins about 3/4 full with the bubble solution (can be found at party stores).
A few more party details are pictured below… I just love the look of these pink drinks with the "YUM!" drink stirrers & pretty straws!
Thanks again to Abby for sharing these lovely details with us!

ANN ARBOR -- Michigan senior running back Fitz Toussaint said during spring practice that he wouldn't be 100 percent recovered from his broken leg until he got "that first hit."
The Wolverines held their first practice in full pads of fall camp Saturday, and Toussaint was out there.
How does he feel now?
"I definitely feel 100 percent," Toussaint said Sunday at the team's annual media day.
"I've been able to go out there, run full speed, I'm able to get hit and I'm willing to get hit. I try to not think about it. It's bigger than myself, it's about the team."
After suffering his broken leg in November against Iowa, Toussaint was able to participate in spring practices but was held out of contact drills.
Saturday marked the first day the Wolverines practiced in full pads, meaning Toussaint's recovered leg was exposed to contact for the first time.
"They hit each other pretty good in yesterday in both practices," Michigan coach Brady Hoke said. "He's done everything. He's been great"
Toussaint said he's been able to go through plays without thinking about his knee. That's a result of the mental side of his rehabilitation, one he said he focused extensively on throughout his eight-month comeback.
"If you work hard, you're working for the physical part, but really it's mental," Toussaint said. "I'm working hard to get my mind mentally right, and to be able to go out there and make that cut without thinking about 'Oh I had a broken leg a year ago.'"
But healthy or not, Toussaint will still have plenty of competition to get carries. He's currently in a position battle with freshman Derrick Green, juniors Thomas Rawls and Justice Hayes and more. Hoke said Sunday that the battle will likely continue weeks into the regular season.
"My main focus is to protect our quarterback, sharpen up on my mental part of the game, the physicalness is going to come with it, the speed, the power is all there," Toussaint said. "I just have to protect my quarterback and that's what I need."

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]henever I tell the story of me and the Spectacular Asshole back in the day, the listener asks me three questions: How long did this go on? How did you stand it? How did you eventually stop? The first two questions are easy enough; 3.5 years and I just did. The third one is a bit trickier.
What led to the demise of me and Mr. SA was a sequence of events in which I chose to be shitty toward him. Something I did that I lied about when I could easily have told the truth, something he asked me to do for him that would never have been a problem in the past but I refused to do on principle, and a night when we were being quiet together when I had the urge to say something loving toward him but squelched it. In short, I became spiteful and withholding.
Now I have many flaws, but one thing I am through and through is generous. I give my time, money, belongings,
pussy, affection, trust, expertise, and clothing freely. I don't do it on the basis of what has been done for or given to me, or what I can reasonably expect to get in return. When I have a weakness for a man; whether it's love or a boner or a crush or an odd fascination, I'm known to say things like "from a strategic standpoint it's a bad move for me to tell you this but…" or "I know I should make this more difficult for you but…" or " I should really learn how to say no to you but…." before giving them whatever it is they want or need. But like I said, I'm a generous person. I don't keep score of what has been given to me and I don't withhold things out of spite.
So when I got to the point with SA when I realized that three times in a row I could have been nice to him and chose not to, I knew it was time to bounce. After all the times I tried to quit him and couldn't. After all the times he quit me and I cried myself to sleep over it, the moment I realized that he was turning me into someone I did not like I was done, just like that. And I never looked back until he reappeared in my life all these years later.
These days, there's someone else in my life who hurts my feelings on a regular basis. How he does it is different every time. Sometimes it's what he says, or what he obviously thinks but refuses to say. Sometimes it's the things that he does just to annoy me, sometimes it's the things that he could do to please me but won't for some dumb reason. It's the fact that he used to be awesome and now is aggravating, the fact that he's aware enough to know that he bothers me but assholey enough to do it anyway.
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking if it's that bad, why do you allow this person to stay in your life? Why do you not confront him or abandon him or give him a taste of his own medicine? And while I consider doing that stuff on a near-daily basis, the truth is I'm just not wired like that. It's not really the way I operate. While I have a lot of bluster and will rip someone to shreds over relatively minor shit, when I'm truly butthurt I tend to take and take and take until I can take no more.
There have been many, many times throughout my relationship with ole boy where I've said to myself, that's it. I'm done. FUCK him. I'm finished. And every single time I start to wrap my head around that way of thinking, he does or says something that reminds me of his dopeness and mitigates my wrath. And like the big softie I really am but don't like to admit to being, I relent. I forgive, I carry on. Because – as we've seen with the Spectacular Asshole – I'm punkish like that.
But just the other day I made the decision not to do something. It wasn't anything directly related to him, but it's something that he would reap benefits from if I were to do it. And although doing it would make my life easier and allow other people to benefit, I'm not doing it. Because I don't want him to have the satisfaction.
And that's how I know that it's time for me to be done with this dude. Because – for the first time since the glory days with SA – I've become spiteful and petty again. I choose not to say the good things I think about him, I choose not to support him the way I could because he doesn't do it for me. I'm about to cut off my nose to spite his face and that's how I know it's time to throw in the towel. Not because of any one thing that he's done, but because once again I'm becoming someone I never want to be.
But what about you guys? How do you know it's time to give up on someone who hurts more than s/he helps? Is it something they do or a change you detect within yourself that makes the decision for you? Once you're done do you ever look back? Speak on it in the comments.

bag lady. digital nerd. beauty junkie. shoe whore. i'm a sucker for big words and box-fresh kicks. know a little bit about a lot of things and have something to say about everything.
Dear Mr. Mindfuck, I am writing to tell you that I am done ...
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]here is no worse moment in your relationship ...
Of all the words I could use to describe the man I spent the ...
[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t's Monday and I have another I Wish ...
I'm the complete opposite. I will throw someone out of my life so fast, they wouldn't even know what hit em. But one of the downsides to that is when you're not a very social person you may end up being lonely, which really sucks. But I can't really deal with disrespect well. I feel like if let someone get away with it once (twice for my closer friends), he/she will continue that kind of behavior. And that's just unacceptable.
Ray you were too quick I wasn't done writing the post! Read it again tomorrow and see the finished version.
I relate. I can definitely understand how you feel. When he hurt me, it was the most awful thing I'd ever felt. He did it often, and it made me feel sad, small, and really insecure. Just when I would decide I couldn't take anymore, he would do something to remind me why I chose him to begin with. I literally felt like I was losing my mind. I'd never felt like any guy had that kind of control over me before. That's when I realized that it was all mind games with him. He was manipulative, and I felt like his puppet playing into all of his bullshit. I'm over him now, but he still tries to play games with me. That's the thing about games — they don't quite have the intended effect if you refuse to play back. I'm happy you're past it because I now how it feels to be free from that feeling.
Question: aren't you the least bit curious to see what the end-result might be of continually doing what might benefit him in spite of his general asshole behavior? And letting him know that you're still going to be you…?
By the time I throw in the towel I am well aware of what the end result of being myself is. More shitty behaviour. So once I reach that point no, I'm no longer curious.
At least you have an alarm clock for when you decide to quit.
Good Post.
Best way i knwo is if I see a change in myself that I don't like. I think about the root causes for the change, and more than likely it's that person, and it's time for them to go!
Is it something they do or a change you detect within yourself that makes the decision for you?
The change that I notice in myself that let's me know that its time to pull the chord is when I become EXTREMELY AT PEACE — I get very calm, it's like a moment of clarity, I no longer care, have no worries things no longer phaze me because my mind has been made up.
Yup…that's me too. Once that moment of calm hits, there is no turning back. Once I'm done…I'M DONE. My ex used to always break up w/ me when we would argue (b/c that's how he knew/learned how to argue) and I would tell him, I will continue to fight and ttry to make this relationship work but the MOMENT I stop caring the relationship is done for me. It's like I emotionally free myself from it when that moment hits and whatever happens after is whatever. I can leave and not look back.
Max, I don't know what it is but latley you have been onpoint in my life w/ your posts.
OMG. This is me. All of it. I recently made the decision with the SAME exact reasoning you used. Once I found myself changing, becoming meaner, bitter, whatever…I knew it was time. It scares me to death how much hurt I can take. I can take a beating and keep on ticking with smiles and laughter too. It's really bad when I fall for the wrong person. I'll do anything for someone I love, anything. I save my wrath for people who don't matter but when it comes to people I let in, lawd. I wish I was one of those people who can turn cold at a moments notice, stand up to anyone, etc. It's like I'm a slave to my emotions. Call it chick logic or whatever but it's real. The light at the end of my love & heartache tunnel is that I can do it if I get to the point where I'm breaking…and trust I've been broken. I won't even share cause ya'll will side eye me and pray for me at the same time. But like you said, I did it to myself. It's what I allow. Making the decision to cut someone off who's dear to you is hard but necessary because at the end of the day, I cannot let anyone change my spirit. I'm living for my child. It's perfectly normal to look back but I just keep one foot in front of the other, day by day. Everything gets better over time.
*slow clap*
Great read. Very soulful and I totally relate. This in particular gave me that "YES GIRL!" feeling: "… the moment I realized that he was turning me into someone I did not like I was done, just like that."
I can't say that I was fully *snaps fingers* "just like that", certainly not in my heart, but in action. I decided, I wrote the letter, and I haven't spoken to him since. I was willing to make a lot of concessions for him, for his potential, for love, for hope…but when I noticed that his behaviors, his actions – or inactions were molding my behaviors, I knew I had to get out.
Regardless of whom you're dating, who you love, who you hang out with, who's reading online – I think it's important to never lose yourself. Grow-yes, learn-yes, adapt-fine. But change yourself to please another? No. When I found myself not telling him my real feelings, when I found myself holding back compliments to even the field, when I had to stop myself from kissing him…I knew. This can't be life.
Loved the post. Totally relate. I also know it's hard, at least it was for me, good luck.
I have a short fuse yet there are some folks that know my triggers…
I like to give everybody the benefit of the doubt, but I also know that when i get the icky feeling in my gut repeatedly…its time to go. I'm not tryna find out what the next grimy move is because if I want grime I'll go watch a damn reality show or something. But to me very blunt and honest I know its time to throw in the towel when I start acting like the very ppl i make fun of.
I'm sure you've all heard the line: "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"…words I try my best to live by!
Great post!

Damn Max, GET. THE. HELL. OUT. OF.MY. HEAD. LOL Been here, doing this. Got me thinking and rethinking. If I ever saw myself changing then yes I would have to chuck a deuce but I havent and I pray it doesnt come to that.
It really is hard to explain to people why you still deal with someone who drives you batshit crazy. Words would never do it justice.
Good Post!!
"[She] sang as if she knew me…"
Max, you're telling my (and probably a lot of other women's) story right'chere. I've had friends ask me why I "put up with the craziness" that mah' boy puts me through; but the sister of my soul said it best: "You're the kind of person with a high tolerance for BS. But when you're done with someone, you're just done. And you're not done with him yet."
But when I am… I am in the breeze. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Something shifts in me and I'm able to release them to the Universe and wish them well with it. We may be able to be FRIENDS again at some point; but the We-ness of what we were? That we shan't ever be again.
It's weird I know it's time to give up when looking or speaking to that person makes me sick. When I am sick and tired and happier with my solitude than I am having this person in my life then I know its time to fold.
I had a SA and he broke up with me…the funny thing is I knew it was over before it was actually over and I was not upset in the least. I was relieved. it Restless nights, constant belittling and dealing with fits of anger it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
You know when you are done when you stop caring. Never looked back although he did a few times ;p.
I think each person has their own breaking point. I have someone kinda in my life who I swear could be "the one," but he constantly disappoints and hurts me. But the moment I talk to him, I get butterflies or start feeling "hot." He's always had a crazy affect on me and he knows he can push my buttons unlike anyone else. I know he enjoys driving me crazy and playing with my emotions and he tells me that's his way of showing "affection." I told him if that was his way of showing affection, he could keep it.
I used to blame his career field and job on why we weren't together. And in some ways, I know its a major part of why we wouldn't work even if we were together now. Since his job is currently on a "lockout," I've only heard from him a few times. The saying "A man makes time for the things he wants," always rings in my ear. He knows he could have me if he wanted, but he doesn't make any real effort. He'll come around every couple months, poke his head in and tease me, then disappear out of my life again.
This has been going on for years and I'm always disappointed. I can only name one time where he has came through and done something nice for me. 1 time out of like 5 years. So now I've gotten to the point where I have deleted ALL of his contact information out of my phone. I'm really TRYING to be done with him. I don't contact him at all. If he contacts me, I act nonchalant and cool. Its hard because I have such strong feelings for him. And no matter how much I try to escape him, one of our mutual friends always brings him up or I end up seeing him on TV due to his job. I'm all cried out. I have to be done with him for my sanity.
I went through a similar situation with a dude for eleven years before I finally dropped the pebble of hope I was carrying around. Now I am soooo fucking done it's not funny. Sometimes it takes a while to get there but once you do it's easy.
Im slowly, but surely getting there. The longer I go without talking to him the easier it gets. Plus I don't have to see him on TV right now so that makes it better too.
11 years tho? OMG I thought I was bad.
I always think of the saying…."I miss your smile….but I miss mine more"
That is how I know I am done. When I am strong enough to choose my smile over his.
Great post!!

Security breaches can occur from a variety of instances, with many stemming from employees who have been careless or negligent with certain corporate tasks. Although data exposure is a problem for any company, it is especially significant for healthcare organizations, given the sensitivity of patient records. The Gaston Gazette recently reported that an insecure email sent by an employee from CaroMont Health revealed patient names, birth dates, insurance company names, addresses and telephone numbers from more than 1,300 people.
A spokeswoman explained that the vulnerability was discovered in August during a standard security audit.
"Based on the information gathered through the investigation, there is no reason to believe that the email was intercepted or received by anyone other than the intended recipient, and there is little immediate risk to health or financial information," CaroMont Health noted in a statement, the news source reported.
Email is a popular communication tool for employees, making it necessary that staff members also take the proper precautions when sending messages through this channel. To avoid putting patient data or corporate information at risk, organizations should consider adopting secure file sharing tools to avoid exposing content that may lead to compliance fines and public distrust.
Organizations lack resources to stop all data leaks
Organizations, regardless of the industry, are struggling to keep data safe at every access point. A survey of 3,529 IT and security professionals by the Ponemon Institute found that every respondent had experienced at least one breach in the past two years. During this time frame, more than half of participants reported that the frequency and severity of attacks increased.
Once an organization experiences a breach, response time is far too long. The survey found that it takes an average of 80 days for firms to identify the root cause of the incident and another 123 days to rectify the situation.
Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute, said the current security landscape is a grim one for organizations.
"Our study confirms that organizations are facing a growing flood of increasingly malicious data breaches, and they don't have the tools, staff or resources to discover and resolve them," said Ponemon. "Meanwhile, months are passing as their key information assets are left exposed. The results demonstrate a clear need for greater and faster visibility - as well as a need to know the root cause of the breaches themselves - in order to close this persistent window of exposure."
Organizations that do not want to find themselves trying to respond to a security breach must not only have the right tools in place, but also educate the workforce on potential threats. It is imperative that all staff members realize that any misstep sending data can result in exposure of sensitive content. Firms should explain the benefits of secure file sharing solutions and how these options are the safest way to keep data in-house.

The lens of the eye is normally clear. Light passes through the lens to the light sensitive tissues at the back of the retina, to form an image. A cataract forms when proteins in the lens become damaged. When a cataract develops, the lens becomes cloudy and prevents light from reaching the retina, resulting in blurred vision. In its early stages, a cataract may cause a lessening of vision but eventually it can cause blindness if left untreated. Cataracts usually develop slowly and at different rates in each eye.
Most cataracts are due to ageing. By the age of 80 years, it is common for people to develop or form some cataract. Other risk factors include:
Symptoms of cataract can include:
Cataract is detected through a comprehensive eye exam that can include a visual acuity test, dilated eye exam and tonometry. A visual acuity test is an eye chart test which measures how well a person sees at various distances. A dilated eye exam and tonometry need to be carried out by an eye care professional. In a dilated eye exam drops are placed in the eyes to widen, or dilate the pupils and a special magnifying lens is used to examine lens to check for cataract, and the retina and optic nerve for other eye problems. After the exam, close-up vision may remain blurred for several hours. Tonometry is a procedure using a tonometer to measure the pressure inside the eye. Numbing drops may be applied to the eye for this test.
The early symptoms of cataract may be improved with new eye glasses; however, the usual treatment for cataract is surgery. Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy tissue from the internal part of the lens, and leaving part of the lens capsule behind to act as a support for an implant called an intraocular lens. In most cases only a local anaesthetic (numbing) is needed and the person can go home the same day. Cataract surgery can quickly restore vision and is considered very cost effective.
A national eye survey in 2008 found that cataract was the second-leading cause of low vision for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. Cataract was the cause of 27% of low vision and 32% of blindness among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults, with vision loss from cataract being more common in very remote areas. Only 65% of those with vision loss from cataract had received surgery. Blindness from cataract was 12 time higher for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults compared with other Australians. Some of the main issues affecting cataract treatment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, especially in remote areas are:

At the Armed Services YMCA of Alaska, we believe that the strength of a family begins with the physical and mental well-being of parents. We support our military families by giving parents a sense of independence and the means to invest in their own health—making them stronger and more able to cultivate the overall well-being of their family.
Meet Jennifer, a military spouse and mother. Jennifer was originally from Florida, and unaccustomed to driving in winter conditions. In addition, Jennifer had three young children. Being new to Alaska, Jennifer didn't have many friends yet, and it's hard to ask someone to watch one kid, let alone three. And while the cost of childcare has skyrocketed, military pay has not. With a junior enlisted income, Jennifer couldn't afford a sitter—even to go to the doctor.
With her husband deployed, and unwilling to risk the safety of her children to her lack of winter driving skills, Jennifer would have been trapped had it not been for the support system she found through the ASYMCA of Alaska. She and her children took the Y on Wheels door-to-door shuttle from base housing to the commissary, recreational facilities, and the JBER hospital for her medical appointments. While at the hospital, Jennifer was able to drop her three children off at Teddy's Child Watch—allowing her to attend her appointments without worrying about her children.
Because of the ASYMCA of Alaska, Jennifer could focus on her health, maintain her independence, and take care of her family—all without compromising their safety to Alaska's icy roads.
The ASYMCA of Alaska is aware of how important it is to be able to maintain a sense of independence. Each year, Y on Wheels provides nearly 20,000 rides that help service members, vets, and their families maintain their independence; and over 3,000 military parents are able to focus on their well-being through the use of Teddy's Child Watch. Whether you are a single soldier catching the Y on Wheels Shuttle for the gym, or a mother of three making time for a medical check-up, the ASYMCA of Alaska is there to provide the resources you need to get you out of the house, and out in the world.
Do you have a story you'd like to share?
We believe that it is peoples' real-life stories that make the biggest impact in helping to spread the word about what we do. We invite you to share your Armed Services YMCA of Alaska experience; your story may encourage others to discover how our programs and services can help them, too!

If you caught my "When plants attack!" column in Escape yesterday, you know I am not a big fan of yard work - especially in the spring, when every plant in the yard seems to be growing at warp speed. At this time of year, maintaining my yard can blow half of each weekend, not to mention the damage it does to my health, sanity and social schedule.
Now, if I could just take one of the larger offenders out of the equation, say the grass, and still have a beautiful, green yard - well, I might just jump at the chance.
Shawn Green, owner of the local franchise of Golf Greens Fore U, can make such a thing happen. As the name implies, the company installs synthetic golf greens, but it also installs synthetic lawns that really look like lawns.
Before you groan and imagine football field turf with little black rubber "junk" all over the place, know that the synthetic grass Green's company installs is actually very attractive and "grass-like" to the touch; surprisingly so. While it isn't quite as grass-like as real grass, whatever it lacks in "natural," it more than makes up for in other benefits. Most importantly, it needs no water, is virtually maintenance-free and always looks perfectly trimmed.
Getting interested?
Needs no water
With California's drought and water shortages, water rationing may be coming soon. At the very least you might have to plan your lawn-watering to a mandatory schedule. At the worst ... who knows?
Why not take watering your lawn out of the equation? It will help preserve a valuable resource and it will save you money, maybe a lot of money, as Green found out when he installed synthetic grass in the front yard of his own Valencia home.
"Our water bill dropped 67 percent in one month," he said. "Typically there is a 50 to 70 percent drop for homeowners who install synthetic lawns."
This can amount to 40,000 gallons of water saved per year in an average household.
It can save you notable money over the long run, and, in the short run, is environmentally friendly. "We have some serious water issues in California, and I think it's going to get worse before it gets better," Green said.
"With lawn being about 85 percent of the landscaping of a home, if it's not in good shape, it compromises your property value," Green said. Synthetic lawns are always in perfect shape, and that's without any mowing, fertilizing or edging. Synthetic lawns can't be damaged by insects or disease, drought or heat.
"They are pet-friendly," he said. Pets are completely comfortable with them and, more importantly, can't damage them. Urine passes through the turf and waste is easily picked up. A spray with the hose will finish the job - if that is even necessary. In fact, Golf Greens Fore U sometimes installs synthetic grass for kennels (as well as for school playgrounds and even retirement homes).
Your synthetic lawn will remain great looking for a long time, too. It comes with a seven year warranty against fading, but Green feels that is conservative.
Aesthetically pleasing
"People want their lawn, the look and feel of it," Green said. And he said they get that with his synthetic grass. As you can see from the photo of Green's front yard, the lawn is very natural-looking. And it felt soft and cool to this reporter's touch.
Golf Greens Fore U installs two great-looking types of grass, First Cut and Top Cut. Both are made of polyethylene yarn and have nylon "thatch" that gives the lawn a softer feel and helps the "grass" blades stand up. Top Cut has a thicker base and the thatch is denser, and it costs about $2 more per square foot.
While, of course, a synthetic lawn can't be as cool to the touch as well-watered natural grass, Green said, "On a hot summer day you can still walk on it. It's warm but not as hot as pavement."
Aside from how your synthetic lawn feels, those who are allergic to real grass will have no such problem with synthetic. Even better, the material is 100 percent lead-free.
Homeowners association
While you can usually do what you want in your backyard, if your neighborhood has a homeowner's association, you probably won't be able to put a putting green in your front yard. However, Green says homeowners associations seem to have no problem with synthetic lawns that look like lawns.
"Throughout the whole country, there has not been one HOA that has denied approval for our synthetic lawns," he said. And, while you will have to go through the approval process, he said, "Architectural committees are very receptive to it."
Such was the case in Green's own neighborhood. The approval process went quickly and smoothly and, now that the synthetic lawn is in, several of Green's neighbors are considering doing the same. He said they often stop during walks to admire how real the grass looks.
Other environmental issues
Aside from saving water, synthetic grass is environmentally friendly in other ways.
First of all, Green said his synthetic lawns are made of 70 percent recycled materials. That reduces waste sent to landfills and reduces the need for raw materials.
He explained that, without the need for a (gas) lawn mower, there is less pollution put into the air and less fossil fuel used.
Because there is no fertilizer used, there is no chemical runoff into the gutter and no fossil fuels used in (chemical) fertilizer manufacture. There is no need to recycle green waste from grass clippings, either.
Green said that some people may argue that natural lawns remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, a good thing, and that synthetic lawns do not.
But he counters that, if that is your concern, you can plant more trees to make up the difference. They will still use far less water than a lawn.
Cost and installation
Green explained that the cost of installing your synthetic lawn will depend greatly on several factors, such as the accessibility of the area, the grade of the turf and the square footage installed. Usually, for a particular installation, the more the square footage, the lower the final price per square foot. He said the installed price usually ranges from $6 to $10 per square foot.
You can do the math to see that a synthetic lawn isn't cheap initially, but with the savings on water, fertilizer, sprinkler maintenance and gardener fees (or lawn mower maintenance, fuel and your time), Green said a synthetic lawn could pay for itself in five to seven years.
The installation process includes cutting away old sod and putting a sub base of stone dust down. This base is compacted but should be able to drain off up to four inches of rain per hour without being affected. (The water passes through holes in the turf base.)
After that the turf is put down, cut to fit and seamed where necessary. Then sod staples are inserted to secure the turf and silica sand is brushed into it to provide stability and cushioning.
Green said he needs a two-week lead time to order materials, but the actual installation process can typically be done in two to three days. And the result is a maintenance-free lawn that always looks perfect.
Is it time for one at your house?

Scott Feldman hopes to avoid DL with sore right knee
BALTIMORE - Right-hander Scott Feldman, suffering from soreness on the outside of his right knee, is hoping to avoid the disabled list, but the Rangers have discussed plans in case the injury requires a 15-day period to heal.
Feldman had to leave Saturday's game before the seventh inning after he felt the knee buckle while he was warming up. Feldman will have an MRI today and be examined by Dr. Keith Meister.
Judging by the caution the Rangers have shown with recent injuries, Feldman could be headed to the DL for the first time in his career.
"It feels perfectly fine just walking around or even climbing steps," he said. "When I push off, it's still screwed up. I've had days where my knees don't feel great, but nothing like that where I've had to come out of a game."
The Rangers could simply put Feldman on the DL to create a roster spot for today's scheduled starter, Rich Harden.
They would have to do some juggling if they wanted to add another right-hander to the bullpen. Doug Mathis and Guillermo Moscoso could be options.
Another right-hander, Pedro Strop, could also be recalled. He was been optioned from the big league club in recent days, but an injury would allow him to return without spending the required 10 days before a recall is permitted.
Dustin Nippert is not an option. He is still recovering from a line drive off the head July 19, and though reports are good on his rehab in Arizona, there is no timetable for his return from the DL.

BATON ROUGE -- Gov. Bobby Jindal has used his line-tem veto to cut about $9.3 million from the state's supplemental spending bill, including $100,000 for Habitat for Humanity and $500,000 to develop a bio-science district in New Orleans.
Jindal told reporters at a news conference Monday that although many of the projects are worthy they do not conform to criteria he outlined earlier this year.
Some of those guidelines include specifications that a non-governmental organization must have a statewide or "substantial regional impact," must be a state priority and must have "the proper disclosure form published on-line prior to consideration for funding."
Jindal there were 25 vetoes of specific appropriations and one veto of language in House Bill 1287 by Rep. Jim Fannin, D-Jonesboro. He said he will have more line-item vetoes in the state's operating budget bill, House Bill 1, also by Fannin that goes into effect today.
The largest amount stricken from the supplemental bill was $2.5 million for Turn to Learning classroom technology. The smallest veto was $10,000 for the Livingston Parish Council on Aging.
The supplemental appropriations bill includes about $350 million in state and federal dollars for the current fiscal year that ended Monday, including money to pay legal judgments against the state and $26 million to satisfy the state's contractual agreements with the New Orleans Saints and the New Orleans Hornets.
Some of the other items Jindal vetoed from the bill are:
-- $80,000 for the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness Management and Finance program.
-- $12,000 for playground resurfacing for Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association.
-- $1 million for the French Quarter Marigny Historical Area Management District.
-- $50,000 for infrastructure improvements for the city of Kenner.
-- $500,000 for the reconstruction of the Dryades Street YMCA.

Don't bother downloading This used to be a great we game but after recent updates I've lost all progress and you have limited how far I can now play for free. The diamond grind is now every other level and it's not worth the time. There used to be challenges to progress now it's just collect diamonds or pay to progress. Your a bunch of money grabbing bastards, stick ur diamonds up ur arse.
My son and I used to love this game. We played it regularly to pass the time at his sister's meets. We played it enough that we accumulated 50K+ in diamonds, and completed most of the challenges. Then a recent update ran, and completely erased our progress. Our diamond total is now always less than 2500, even if we accumulate more than this amount. My son is very disappointed, and I'm not happy either. We won't be playing this game any longer.
Good stuff!! I actually downloaded this ages ago and only recently tried to find it and then came across Tiny Wings and thought to myself, "I thought this game was on Android?" But it turns out the game I loved back in 2011 was actually this game, which I think is better!
It's ok but you can't get far for free Good game, fun, but it only lets you get to about level 8 on free. To go on you have to pay. It's not about how fast you go really, because the mother dragon will just catch up with you if you haven't paid money, regardless.
Would have gotten 4 stars... I'm giving this game a 1 star review because it lets you play three levels for free and then forces you to pay if you want to advance further (yes, you can 'purchase' additional levels with the in game currency, but its expensive and the grind isn't really worth it). I get the whole "Free to Play" concept and I understand that companies need to make money, I just wish they wouldn't force it down my throat the way this game does. It's honestly quite a shame too, this game was real fun to play...
A bit boring This is an ok Tiny Wings ripoff, but it's by far not as good. Compared to the original the colors and variations of the landscape are really boring and I think the background music sounds dull and effortless (what's with the stupid loop?). It's really a shame there's no Android version of Tiny Wings.

Player of the Game
Travis Hafner hit a two run home run early in the game to give the Indians a lead, and the winning margin. He also had a single later in the game as well. Kosuke Fukudome, Asdrubal Cabrera also scored well with home runs of their own, as did the relief pitchers, Joe Smith, Vinnie Pestano and Chris Perez, who all earned decisions.
Feathers Up
The Columbus Clippers won the Governors' Cup for the International League championship and will now play for the AAA championship in Albuquerque, NM. The game will be televised on versus if anyone would rather see a championship caliber team, than the Indians.
Jack Hannahan returned from the dead today to take over defensive duties at third from Lonnie Chisenhall late in the game. It's good that he got over his injury, but hopefully he will be relegated to this type of work for the rest of the season as Lonnie Chisenhall needs to get as many at bats as he can to prepare for 2012. The Indians made a couple of roster moves in the last two days as well, bringing back Zach McAllister and Corey Kluber from AAA. McAllister will start the night game tonight and Kluber will be available out of the bullpen. The Indians also announced that Josh Tomlin will be recalled in time to start next Saturday against Minnesota.
The Indians have found some offense over the last 5 games, scoring at least 6 in every game except today and hitting 3 home runs in today's game. The Indians even got the home runs from some expected run producers in Travis Hafner and Asdrubal Cabrera.
Feathers Down
Waste of space catcher, Lou Marson, struck out another 3 times today. That makes him 0 for his last 6 at bats with 6 strike outs over the last 3 games. If anyone thinks he is better than anyone currently on the Indians or Clippers they are sorely mistaken. Bet no one saw this coming, the "Bad stuff about Austin Kearns" section has now turned into bad stuff about Lou Marson. He's now batting .233 on the season.
Asdrubal Cabrera hurt himself swinging in his last at bat and was forced to leave the game for the 9th inning with an oblique injury. If the injury is serious at all we can expect Cabrera to sit out the rest of the season. He

In case you hadn't heard, the Chicago Cubs have won the bidding for Cuban defector Jorge Soler, which Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports to be nine-years in length and for $30 million.
But more importantly than what he's getting paid, we want to know what kind of player he's going to be.
Everybody has had some kind of take on Soler, some of which vary wildly. Having not yet seen him play, I'm not about to add to the guessing on a player that hasn't seen the field in a year. But what we will do is put all of the great Jorge Soler info that's out there into one place for you.
- Ben Badler of Baseball America has a background on the signing process and a full scouting report, calling Soler "one of the better young players Cuba has produced in recent years" and predicting "25 home run potential."
- Jeremiah Johnson of ViewFromtheBleachers.com is even more optimistic on Soler, already proclaiming him as the Cubs starting right fielder in 2015. (Warning: this is a Cubs blog, so it might be a tad biased. It still has good information, though.)
- Despite the bias, the optimism surrounding Soler by most Cubs fans is well-based, as Keith Law of ESPN.com points out, saying that he thinks Soler would have been a top-5 pick had he been eligible in this year's draft.
- Dave Cameron of FanGraphs.com says that Soler is "not a Major League ready player, and should probably be expected to spend most of the next couple of seasons in the minors."
- Jeff Sullivan of SBNation.com points out that the Cubs can opt to take the arbitration route once Soler becomes eligible rather than the guaranteed salaries they have worked out at the moment.

Did put a new clutch only after the truck was recovered after it was stolen. They hauling something heavy other wise I would be on the same clutch and a new battery 12 years ago
Starts up with turn of key every time, hauling and towing capacity, Low maintenance, reliability, minimal expense. other then oil change and tires every once in a while.
It only has 218,000 so I don't think its even broken in yet. It runs so strong and burns Zero oil. The Truck is perfect in every way!
I cant suggest any Improvements. If there is a fault I haven't found it yet
Bought in 1993 for $9500 with 9,000 miles on it. Manual says change oil at 7,000 miles-I change it every 3,000. Outside of routine maintenance,over the 16 yrs I've owned it I have had to replace the brakes, battery, clutch, radiator, U-joints, windshield wipers, tail pipe (not including muffler!), thermostat, tailgate latch. Pretty cheap transportation, when you divide it all by 16 years. Plus, despite the published figures, I get 26 mpg highway. First 3 yrs used for 30 mile daily commute to work, then for personal and business (truck gardening) 9 mi from nearest town, 6 of those over dirt roads-very bumpy, terrible on tires, chronically very dirty body. Still practically no body rust. Excellent overall.
Wind up windows, general lack of frills that get out of order and are expensive to fix.
Tenth of a mile position on odometer, wish I had bought 4WD, door locks slip down too easily - Too easy to get locked out. But you can overcome that by using your noodle!
Reliable. The 22RE 2.4 liter engine and transmission are rock solid. A simple vehicle with no frills that provides reliable transportation. Change the oil and the other fluids. Only minor repairs over time. Easy to work on. A great value. The 22RE engine is an engineering marvel.
Reliable, economical, and good utility.
Air vent fan, windshield wiper water pump, dome light plastic cover, ignition/steering wheel cover case and passenger window handles wear out over time. But, the truck still runs and the body and interior is still in good condition.
The best bang for your buck around.
Nothing beats the Japanese 22RE
motors. I wish they still made them.
=( A few mods and you have a 2700 lb
200 + hp rocket ship.
22RE engine
Put a turbo, lightweight 9 lb flywheel,
exhaust, header, intake system, pulley,
and some cams.
When I bought this truck in March of
2001 it had approx. 85k miles on it.
Now it has 119k miles. I have used the
truck for all kinds of driving (from
3000 mile long road trips to pizza
delivery) and, so far, I haven't had
any major work done to it. Although
the truck isn't the most comfortable or
fun to drive vehicle it does come
through where it counts; reliability.
cost of maintanance (very low), gas
mileage, and engine torque.
stock bench seat springs are beginning
to sag (I'm not a heavy man), base
stock speakers could use some
