A traditional St. Patrick's Day celebration
St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on 17th March every year and is a national holiday in Ireland. More than that, it is an occasion celebrated by Irish people all over the world. But for traditional Irish St. Patrick's Day festivities there's no place like Achill on the rugged west coast of Ireland.
In many villages on Achill there is a tradition of pipe bands, and on St. Patrick's Day these colourful and compelling bands play a central role in celebrations. From a 6am reveille, the bands march for most of the day – surely one of the longest St Patrick's Day parades anywhere. For visitors, a thoroughly enjoyable day can be had following the Achill pipe bands, pausing for refreshments of course and taking time to enjoy the spectacular scenery of Achill Island. In the evening, traditional and modern entertainment is offered in many of the local hotels and pubs.

In preparation for the release of the milo bambino pattern I churned out sample after sample, in a mad whirlwind of knitting; seven wee milo bambinos by the time I'd finished. All the time conscious of the aim of getting the pattern released before mid May. I failed my self-imposed deadline, and that in itself gives a designer further opportunity to beat themselves up.
The long shot of it is that knitting under these constraints does not probably yield the same positive relaxed frame of mind that the average knitter experiences when they knit something from a pattern. You know all those studies that tell us how the gentle art of knitting is so good for us? I'm not sure those benefits apply to designers.
I hear knitwear designers say quite often that they don't have the time to knit other people's patterns. This is such a shame as there's so much to learn from others. Designing is a continual learning process, you can never know enough or even everything. Knitting other people's patterns gives a designer the opportunity to learn new techniques, new construction methods or even question and validate your own approach to your design process; which in itself is an extremely valuable experience.
Every year I try to knit at least one thing from another designer's patterns; I seriously learn so much about myself as a designer in doing so. It also gives me the opportunity to experience the meditative and relaxing process of knitting in the same manner as the average knitter does; or at least that's my theory.
I chose Lila by Carrie Bostick Hoge. I've wanted to knit this pattern since it was released, it has a lovely shape. I've seen some really lovely examples of this pattern knit up both online and in real life, and I think the recent Lila KAL that was all over Instagram was the thing that pushed me over the line in my choice.
Lila was also the name of my beloved grandmother, a quirky and eccentric character who we all loved dearly, even if she couldn't knit. The two memories that stick in my mind about my fabulous grandmother is that she always wore a hat and she rode a tricycle; a grown up adult-sized tricycle. She was blunt, often unintentionally funny, had exquisite taste in most things, and made the most amazing shortbread you have ever tasted. It must have made my grandfather homesick for Scotland and his wee Isle of Arran every time she made it.
As I'm a bit of a fan of the top-down knit and having read Felicia's from The Craft Session's comments about the fit around shoulders with regards to her Lila and the size she chose, I decided to tackle the more recently released Lila Top Down pattern.
I'll let it be known straight up that at the end of this knitting process, I ended up with two jumpers. How this came about is very much part of this story of the art of meditative knitting.
So off I went, diligently knitting away alternating skeins and pretty much enjoying the whole process of the mindless knit. Bliss. I knit the whole body minus a bit of length, worked the short rows a la Sunday Rows style, and cast off. I knit the neck band. And then knit half a sleeve. At this stage it became very evident that I wasn't going to have enough yarn to finish the garment as per the pattern, and you know, I pretty much knew this from the start and was prepared to have a battle with the yardage chicken. While I pondered my approach, I decided to try my jumper on.
The first was the width around the upper arm. Now bear in mind, that I did mod the pattern's tension so this may in no way be a reflection of the pattern. The width was that bit too wide and as result puckered out and created a lumpy looking bit when my arms are down.
The second was the short row shaping. My Sunday short rows were beautiful and neat and created a lovely seamless finish to the shaping. But, and this is a big but, the placement of the short rows creates extra room around the hips. If you think about the way short rows are used to create extra room in the bust area, it's a similar concept here. Unfortunately, this extra pocket of room sat right on my hips, much where your muffin top might be if your jeans are a bit too tight. Yeah.
This puzzled me. I'd seen so many Lila's knit but never noticed this before, so I scanned back through pages and pages of projects on Ravelry. When I looked back through the Top Down images on both Ravelry and Instagram, I found that this was indeed something fundamental to the pattern, and I saw those little saddlebags on a number of jumpers. And then it dawned on me, the placement of the short rows was quite different in these two patterns; in the Lila pattern knit from the bottom up they're worked along the thick hemband but in the top down version, they create a line that runs into the top of the hemband in the middle of the front, so they fall very much in the stocking stitch section of the front sides. The following image probably best shows this. It doesn't really show the muffin top effect, that was really only obvious when I put it on.
And so I decided to cast on and try again, putting into practise all the things I'd learnt from my first attempt.
This time I chose some Quince and Co Lark in River, a yarn I'd actually bought for Toby. I had eight skeins of 50g so I knew yardage was not going to be an issue.
I loved knitting my second Lila so much and I love love love the finished garment. Already, it is high rotation and is filling a much needed gap in my handmade wardrobe. I have only ever knit myself a couple of actual jumpers over the years, none of those are frequently worn. Some I don't even know where they are!
I worked a number of modifications to get this one to resemble to bottom up one more accurately and also to suit my personal preferences.
Tension: I wanted to give this jumper some drape so that that side shaping and short rows sat nicely, so again I knit this at a tension of 18 stitches. This worked well as the Lark is very much a 10ply yarn and this looser tension gives a lovely drape to the fabric. It does intensify any pilling, but I can live with that.
Sleeve width: To make the sleeves a bit narrower around the upper arm, I worked the sleeves as more of a compound raglan. This simply means that I did not increase in the sleeves on every round where I increased for the body. I left out two sets of sleeve increases in the shoulder area which resulted in four fewer stitches in the sleeves, almost an inch less width.
I do wonder that part of the puckering may be due to the overall back width of this jumper around my shoulders, as even with an inch less there is still some bagging evident. The neck does sit quite wide, which I do like; but my shoulders are narrow and these two may not be a perfect match in a raglan for me.
Side shaping: As I was using a different tension, (and I can't for the life of me find where I noted down my row tension) I worked the side shaping every 21 rounds instead of every 26. I still worked the same number of increases.
Short row shaping: This is where the most significant mod occurred. I wanted my short row shaping to sit along the hemband. This is how I achieved it.
I worked my first short row around to where the second last short row is worked in the pattern, that's in the front section of the garment. I turned and worked around to the same place on the other side of the front. From there I worked backwards towards the side seam as I worked my short rows. This meant that none of the short row gaps were resolved until the last round. For some knitters this can be problematic as when working short rows in the round, resolving the short rows that were worked on the purl side neatly are a bit trickier.
When I used to knit soakers and longies I perfected a technique that I used with wrap and turn short rows (a great solution for this can be found in Shannon Passmore's Ultimate Longies pattern), but I rarely use wrap and turn short rows now.
For both the Lilas I knit, I've experimented with different short row techniques that I haven't used a lot or before. As I mentioned, I love to experiment with the new to me techniques at other peple's patterns bring with them. Both the following links and tutorials give some good information on resolving those purl side worked short rows on the knit side.
For Japanese Short Rows or Sunday Short Rows, this tutorial and the following Notes from Ysolda are priceless.
For Yarn Over Short Rows, this Coco Knits blog post is pure gold.
Of the two, I think I preferred the Japanese/Sunday approach, it achieved a neater result. This blog post here uses a backward yarn over when working the yarn over short rows, which I suspect may be more effective in tightening that gap, simply because the backward yarn over creates a shorter loop; so this may be the next approach for me to try.
Additionally, I worked one less short row; hence why my short row shaping actually began from the second last short row turn, and I worked a turn every four stitches instead of three.
I'm so much happier with the results of this shaping than with the original.
You can find more information on this technique in my blog post here.
Length: Carrie mentions in a blog post here the difference in the lengths between Lila and Lila Top Down. The length I worked is pretty much halfway between these two. Perfect for me.
Arm shaping: The beauty of creating a garment purely to fit rather than following a pattern or as a sample for a pattern is that you can create perfect shaping. Such shaping is not always that easy to write instructions for. Designers will tell you this is the a common hurdle in pattern writing; finding the balance between ease of instructions and the reality of what you're trying to achieve.
In shaping the arms I ignored the pattern instructions completely. Instead I worked the arm decreasing to mirror the shape of my arm. Makes sense doesn't it, but consider how often this doesn't actually happen in patterns . Honestly, it would be far more complex to write a whole graded pattern this way.
To do so: After knitting straight for two inches, I worked a series of decreases in the top half of the arm between the underarm and just above the elbow, decreasing every 10 rounds. Then, in the next section where the arm itself has little shaping until the top part of the forearm, I knit straight. I worked some additional shaping in the final forearm section. My arms look a little less fitted than some I've seen in photos but that is exactly what I was aiming for. This method seriously creates a fabulously shaped arm. I strongly suggest you study your arm stretched out in front of you and consider how it is shaped, where are the curves and where it is straight. Your arms may well have quite a different shape to mine. Use your arm as your guide to creating your sleeve shaping and I suspect you will be far happier with the result.
One thing though. I could not live with that muffin top saddle bag shaping so I ripped those. I decided to work different short row shaping the second time around just for the sheer fun of it.
Length: I knit this Lila to about the length mentioned in the Top Down pattern itself before the short row shaping, maybe a bit longer judging by the final comparison photos in this post. I worked an additional side increase to give the body a bit more ease In hindsight this was not really necessary.
Short Row Shaping: I worked my short rows in the same manner as mentioned above but I worked the first turn just eight stitches past the side marker and continued back from there, working one at four stitches, one at the side markers and one four stitches before the side marker.
Hem and Cuffs: Worked in twisted rib, six rounds in the hem and ten in the cuffs.
Sleeve length: Yardage chicken dictated three quarter length sleeves, which really are just perfect. I'm a sleeve pusher-upper, so this length is really ideal.
This will certainly not be just a camping jumper, it may indeed become a bit of a favourite. And you know what? While I'm wearing it, I really can't see the bits around the upper arm that I'm not happy with. It keeps me warm, it's incredibly cosy, and that makes me very very happy.
The different yarns and the resulting different fabrics coupled with the series of different mods really do make for two quite distinctly different looking jumpers. I've worn each of them already with both jeans as well as skirts/dresses. Both are fabulous and will be staples this winter in my cupboard. The three quarter length sleeves are definitely more practical for every day life.

The good efefcts of playing video games •Video games give your child's brain a real workout. In many video games, the skills required to win involve abstract and high level thinking. These skills are not even taught at school. Some of the mental skills trained by video games include: Following instructions Problem solving and logic Hand-eye coordination, fine motor and spatial skills.
•Most of the bad effects of video games are blamed on the violence they contain. Children who play more violent video games are more likely to have increased aggressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and decreased prosocial helping, according to a scientific study (Anderson & Bushman, 2001). The effect of video game violence in kids is worsened by the games' interactive nature. In many games, kids are rewarded for being more violent.
•Monitor video game play the same way you need to monitor television and other media.
•Be a loving, attentive parent who disciplines your child well. An aggressive child is more a product of dysfunctional parenting than anything else, including violent games and TV.
•Limit the amount of time they could play and also used the video game ratings to limit the content of the games have children who do better in school and also get into fewer fights.
•Decide what is acceptable in your home and if you think violent games are not acceptable, explain to your kid the reason why it might be bad for him.
•Check the Ratings of the game before you buy it or allow your kid to play it. Check its rating which is indicated in the box. Note the title and cover picture.
•Consider your child's maturity level to determine which games are suitable for him. Chronological age is not necessarily a measure of maturity.

Britain's most successful sprinter unashamedly side-stepped the issue of whether Chambers, who has returned from a two-year drugs ban, should represent his country in next month's World Indoor Championships in Valencia.
"There are a lot of opinions out there. No-one really needs mine," he said.
The Great Britain selectors picked Chambers after he won the 60 metres in last weekend's trials in Sheffield - however, their decision was made largely because they did not want to face the possibility of a costly legal action for breaching their own rules.
Despite being able to run in Spain, Chambers is still restricted by a lifetime Olympic ban which prevents him from competing in this summer's Games in Beijing.
"Selectors do what they need to do and the athletes go out there and perform. That's the way it is," said Christie, who intends to be in Beijing as coach to British sprinter Christian Malcolm.
He urged British athletes, officials and fans to "go out and do the positive thing and focus on what they need to do".
Christie stated: "We spend the majority of our time talking about the minority of people but we should spend the majority of the time talking about the majority of our people. That's where it's all gone wrong.
"We've got Beijing and Valencia so let's be positive for a change.
"In the sport, if you've got an injury and think negatively it never heals but if you can be positive you can heal yourself and that's what we've got to do now. We need to be positive and heal, it's all about healing now. Just let it go."Reuse content

Sustainable nutrient cycling in agroecosystems combining grazing and crops has global ramifications for protecting these ecosystems and for the livelihoods they support. We sought to understand environmental, management, and social drivers of nutrient management and sustainability in Andean grazing/crop systems. We assessed the impact of farmer wealth, fields' proximity to villages, topography, and rangeland net primary productivity (NPP) on mass balances for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) of 43 fields. Wealthier farmers applied greater total amounts (kg) of manure nutrients. However, higher manure application rates (kg ha−1) were associated with field proximity and NPP rather than wealth. Manure P inputs in far fields (> 500-m distant) were half those in near fields. Harvest exports increased with manure inputs (P < 0.001) so that balances varied less than either of these flows. Erosion nutrient losses in steeper far fields matched crop exports, and yields declined with increasing field slope (P < 0.001), suggesting that erosion reduces productivity. Balances for P were slightly positive in near and far fields (+2.2 kg P ha−1 y−1, combined mean) when calculated without erosion, but zero in near fields and negative in far fields with erosion included (−6.1 kg P ha−1 y−1 in far fields). Near/far differences in both inputs and erosion thus drove P limitation. Crop K exports dominated K balances, which were negative even without accounting for erosion. Modeled intensification scenarios showed that remediating far field deficits would require P addition and erosion reduction. Management nested within environmental constraints (NPP, erosion) rather than socioeconomic status drives soil nutrient sustainability in these agroecosystems. Time-lags between management and long-term degradation are a principal sustainability challenge to farming in these montane grazing/crop agroecosystems.

Much research tells us that heavy internet use can rewire our brains, not necessarily for the better.
Distractions abound and we follow them. Thoughts go "galloping off in all directions". Multitasking becomes a curse. Concentration and focus atrophy. Creativity suffers. Neural pathways turn into spaghetti.

I'll eat my hat if this doesn't go to series.
Check out Rhys Ifans in Danny Deckchair (2003). Sells you on his annoying character, then brings you right back to liking him. The film is underappreciated, IMO.
I'll let Zachary eat my hat too if this project doesn't go to series.
OMG OMG OMG I can't wait to see this! I have been wondering for years what John Cameron Mitchell was doing! I am so stoked to see him directing this.

"Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious",[3] also known as "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala-D'oh!-cious," is the thirteenth episode of The Simpsons' eighth season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on February 7, 1997.[3] After Marge becomes stressed, the Simpsons hire a new nanny, a Mary Poppins parody, Shary Bobbins (voiced by Maggie Roswell), who tries to help them become better people.[3] It was directed by Chuck Sheetz and was written and executive produced by Al Jean and Mike Reiss.[2] It would also prove to be the last episode for which Mike Reiss received a writing credit. In 2014, Jean selected it as one of five essential episodes in the show's history.[4]
After discovering that she is losing hair at an alarming rate, Marge visits Dr. Hibbert, who informs her that stress is the cause. The Simpson family decides to hire a nanny who can help clean the house and take care of the children. They start interviewing candidates, but none of them are right for the job (as Homer believes every candidate is a man in drag, à la Mrs. Doubtfire). Bart and Lisa sing a song about what they would consider to be the perfect nanny, and their wishes are answered when a woman with an umbrella glides down from the sky and introduces herself as Shary Bobbins, an obvious parody of Mary Poppins, which she vehemently denies. She seems perfect and is immediately hired.
Shary Bobbins proves to be very helpful for the Simpson family, helping the kids clean their rooms, singing them to sleep, and even making Mr. Burns happy. Marge recovers from her stress, and her hair returns to normal. The next day, as the reformed Simpsons sit down to a perfect dinner, Shary Bobbins declares that her work is finished and leaves the house. Just as she is starting to miss the Simpson family, she sees Homer strangling Bart as they are smashed through the living room window, Maggie attempting to put out a fire, and Marge losing her hair again; the family has instantly reverted to its previous state of dysfunction. Shary realizes that she must stay.
The family now starts to treat her rudely and lose interest in her songs and zest for life. Declaring that the Simpsons would be the death of her, she becomes depressed and starts drinking (while singing "Margaritaville") with Barney. The family realizes that they have "crushed her gentle spirit", and Marge admits to Shary that nothing can be done to change the Simpsons; through song, the family state that they are happy just the way they are. Shary accepts this, and leaves using her magical umbrella. As Shary glides away, Lisa asks whether they will see her again, and Homer is positive that they will. Shary is then sucked into a jet engine and killed, which is unnoticed by the family.
Although the majority of the season eight episodes were executive produced by Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein, former executive producers Al Jean and Mike Reiss had signed a deal with Disney that allowed them to produce four episodes of The Simpsons.[5] The idea for this episode originated several years before its airdate when Jean and Reiss were the regular showrunners. The idea was pitched at a writers' retreat by Al Jean, but nobody had wanted to flesh it out. After being allowed to come back to produce some Simpsons episodes, Jean and Reiss decided to write this episode.[5] At first, Mike Reiss was against the episode and had felt that it was a bad idea.[6] He felt that the plot was slightly ridiculous and that the show should not feature any magic; except for a few moments, he largely kept magic out of the episode. He now considers it one of the best episodes that he co-wrote.[6]
At the time, "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious" had more music in it than any other episode.[7] While writing, Jean thought that the songs would stretch out and make the episode the proper length, but it was considerably shorter than required.[5] Several additional scenes, such as the Itchy & Scratchy segment, were added to pad out the episode.[5] There was originally a sequence where Bart, Lisa and Shary Bobbins visit Patty and Selma who sing "We Love to Smoke", a parody of "I Love to Laugh".[5] The song was cut because it wasn't getting any laughs, but the full version was included on the album Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons and a brief animated version was included as a deleted scene on the Season 8 DVD.[5] During the end song, Homer can be seen dancing along but not singing; this was because the producers forgot to record Dan Castellaneta.[6]
Many of the scenes were animated by Eric Stefani, a former member of No Doubt, who specialized in animation for musical numbers.[7]
Julie Andrews (who portrayed the titular role in Mary Poppins) was originally slated to appear in the episode as Shary Bobbins, but in the end, the producers went with series regular Maggie Roswell after hearing Roswell's reading for the part.[6][8]
Quentin Tarantino was also asked to guest star, but he did not want to deliver the lines required, believing them to be insulting.[5] Instead, regular Dan Castellaneta did the voice. Tarantino now regularly wears a "bootleg Itchy & Scratchy T-shirt," which was made by a Simpsons/Tarantino fan, Lisa S. Amsell and given to him in 2001 at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood during a screening of Pulp Fiction.[9]
Cultural references[edit]
The plot of the episode is a reference to Mary Poppins; Shary Bobbins is based on the character Mary Poppins and the episode title is a spoof of the word "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". Several songs are also direct parodies of songs from the film, including "The Perfect Nanny", "The Life I Lead", "A Spoonful of Sugar", "Feed the Birds" and a deleted scene featured Patty and Selma singing their version of "I Love to Laugh".[5] The montage of Marge losing her hair features the song "Hair" from the musical Hair (though the version heard is The Cowsills version).[10] Homer says he has seen Mrs. Doubtfire and believes that some of the candidates for the role of nanny are men in drag.[5] Homer's imagination is a parody of the dancing characters in Steamboat Willie and features the song "Turkey in the Straw".[10]
While walking in the park, Groundskeeper Willie (dressed like Bert in Mary Poppins) is seen singing a cover version of "Maniac" by Michael Sembello. Bart quizzes Shary Bobbins with "Pop quiz hot shot..." in reference to the film Speed. The scene where Principal Skinner attempts to sell Jimbo is a reference to a similar scene in the story Oliver Twist. The Itchy & Scratchy short "Reservoir Cats" is a parody of the scene in Reservoir Dogs where Mr. Blonde cuts off the ear of the police officer. The sequence features the same setting, camera angles and same music — "Stuck in the Middle With You" by Stealers Wheel. At the end, Itchy and Scratchy dance in a manner similar to that seen in the film Pulp Fiction.[5] Shary Bobbins and Barney Gumble sing a drunken rendition of Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville", with Barney wearing an aloha shirt and shaking salt in his mouth after finding the "lost shaker of salt".[5]
In its original broadcast, "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious" finished 38th in ratings for the week of February 3–9, 1997, with a Nielsen rating of 8.8, equivalent to approximately 8.5 million viewing households. It was the third-highest-rated show on the Fox network that week, following The X-files and King of the Hill.[11]
Alf Clausen received an Emmy Award nomination for "Outstanding Music Direction" for this episode.[12]
In 2014, The Simpsons writers picked "Reservoir Cats" from this episode as one of their nine favorite "Itchy & Stratchy" episodes of all time.[13]

The First ConversationMature
It was hard to judge time in this sunless, underground world, but Elena could guess from the setting of the light strips in the tunnel outside her window that it was mid-morning when she woke up. It looked like she'd missed breakfast in her exhaustion and so, resigning herself to wait a few hours, she went over to the chair and began to stretch.
It was impossible to carry on without food for long - after just over an hour, Elena stopped and lay down on her shelf. That was the first time she noticed the security camera in one corner of the room. Either they had put it in while she was sleeping, or she was less observant than she had realised; staring at it, she realised that this master, whoever he was, already knew all about her.
"Lunch." It was the younger servant who opened the door this time, smiling shyly. He wasn't a bad sort, she thought - she could easily have been friends with him, under different circumstances. "You - you must be h-hungry, y-yes?" On hearing his stammer she felt a sudden rush of sympathy for this boy.
"I am," she replied, taking the food. It was still bread and water, but they'd had the generosity to provide her with a carrot. It had been peeled and sliced, too. Well, at least I won't get scurvy, she thought. Or are carrots just Vitamin A?
The boy waited until she had finished, then asked, "Why do y-you dance?" He looked at the chair as though it was something magical, and she laughed gently.
"I dance because I have nothing else I can do. If I didn't, I would get bored and go mad. It is either dance or sit on the shelf and stare at the wall. Which would you rather do?"
"D-dance, of c-c-course. But I don't know how," he added, staring at her. "I've never seen anybody like you before. You're so bendy."
"Am I?" asked Elena, smiling. "There are people far more flexible than me. They have been dancing for longer. But I suppose I am more flexible than normal folk." She sat down on the bed again. "Do I get to meet this leader of yours at any point?"
"I don't know." The boy was suddenly frightened. "He - he comes to you. When he wants to." It seemed that if he spoke quickly, he no longer had a stammer. "But he doesn't like it if people talk about him.
"Very well." Elena crossed her legs; the boy looked guilty and turned to leave the room. She realised that he would get in trouble if the master chose to report him to his superiors. "I'll see you later?"
"Maybe," he said, and dashed off down the corridor. Elena watched the door close and for the first time it occurred to her that it might not have been locked at all. Maybe they were relying on the old mind trick, the fact that you're so certain it will be locked you don't even try? She got up and pushed it, but it didn't move.
"Locked, then," she said aloud, and looked back at her chair. Somehow she couldn't face any more barre work, not now. She did a few warm-up stretches and leaped across the room, but found that she could only perform one jump before she was up against a wall again. "Well, that's no good. How am I meant to dance in a room like this?" She had quite forgotten that she was a prisoner.
Having given up, Elena sat down once more and looked at her feet. They were hard and muscular, but she knew that it wasn't difficult to make them ache from the dancing. If she had to run to get out of here, she'd not last long at all.

Tools needed?
I tried to take off my front and rear track bars today and it didn't go very well. I only had a socket wrench and I didn't have the muscle to get the bolts out. Is there any special tools I need to remove them or do I need to go hit the gym a little harder? Also, can I take them off with my jeep sitting on it's own four tires? Let me know!
just took mine off. however i did it at work where i have an impact wrench and a torch...on the front i took the nut and bolt off on the axle side. the frame side i left in. i took the axle side and zip tied it to the frame on passenger side. its disconnected, out of the way, and easly reconnectable. just a thought
Also. PB blaster a few times before trying, and yes no need to jack up the jeep.
If they are not going back on cut em off and your done!! Yes on the ground it will have no effect except better handling on and off road.
Alright sounds good I'm probably gonna soak them for a few days then try it again!
don't bother soaking! I did the same thing and couldn't even budge them with a 3' breaker bar! 1/2" impact, Mine were permanent so I just had to cut them off. Trust me you wont want to put them back on after you feel the difference!
Rent or buy an impact wrench. I just purchased a '94 YJ and have been doing some work on it. Some of the bolts would not budge without the impact wrench. In fact, it was a little scary how long it took for a couple of them to come loose.
I'm almost done with my semester and at the place I work over the summer they have an impact wrench so might wait till then to try and get them loose!

This product has helped me tremendously with keeping focused and it helped to decrease my anxiety. I have told many friends, family members and even some acquaintances about it. I encourage people to read the studies and check with their doctors if they have health issues. So far, a neurologist of an epilepsy patient and the oncologist of a cancer patient have said they were safe for them to use.

Probably made of genetically modified soy, it is safe not to order this product I think. I didn't pay attention when I bought. Still I have used it and it works : it help to focus attention and your thinking is clearer. But still it is GMO soy...
Posted by sweetheart on Jul 23, 2012 | Verified Purchase
This seems to be good for me: my mind is clear and i feel calmer. I usually don't feel the difference with any supplements but this one really did something. Too bad it's so expensive :( Even though this product has been helpful, so far the best remedy for my stress and anxiety has been pure GABA from the same brand. Try that if this one doesn't help!

CRISP fans miss out on the snack's full saltiness by eating them TOO FAST, say scientists.
Researchers found that the salt in crisps is fully released only after 20 seconds of chewing.
But most Brits have swallowed the potato titbit by then — missing out on the "salt burst".
Ten volunteers had their tongues swabbed after chewing crisps to see when salt levels peaked.
The findings suggest that crisps could have a lower salt content — making them healthier — if makers could release the flavour more quickly.
Now the University of Nottingham team is working to get salt from the crisp to the tongue "in the time that you normally chew and swallow."
Dr Ian Fisk said: "This would mean less salt would be needed to get the same amount of taste."
Too much salt is linked to high blood pressure and heart disease.

Latched to a sunny plateau in Hafling (Avelengo) in the Dolomites, the boutique Miramonti sits within a carpet of hillside forest overlooking Merano with spectacular bird's eye vistas of captivating Alto Adige - this is South Tyrol from the top down as seen from this style pad.
Although this classical Alpine retreat has been cleverly spliced with modernity, the roots of the region are sensed through vintage pieces dotted throughout adding a nostalgic charm to the mountainous culture of the place.
Housed within an aged chocolate box exterior of pure Alpine pedigree, the light, breezy interiors draw an altogether more contemporary thread that is fittingly elegant with heaps of that most modest and honest of materials, wood.
Earthy tones originating from the surrounding woodlands infuse a placid palette of nature with soft oatmeal creams and layers of mushroom browns adding a woodland freshness.
There is an ease of subtly & simplicity about the Miramonti Boutique Hotel that makes it the perfect pad for indulgent loafing overlooking Merano and is equally well sourced for activity junkies, cuisine aficionados, connoisseurs of the good life and certainly for those looking for quiescence.
Panoramic - cloud reaching - location perching high up at 1230 metres above sea level overlooking Merano -about a 20mins drive away, in the north of Bolzano.
The Miramonti occupies a lush 30 acres of forested hillside in Hafling (Avelengo) in Italian region of South Tyrol with amazing mountainous vistas of the Alto Adige stretching out towards the Dolomites.
Under the culinary motto of Slow-Soul-Food, Miramonti celebrates everything that is tasty from South Tyrol across it's three restaurants and stunning outdoor terraces. Breakfast is as one might expect, local, tasty and original stocked with hand-picked foods and where even the butter is special.
Miramonti's Chef, Massimo Geromel from Treviso, has created 3 distinctive concepts from the gourmet adventures in the fine dining at the Panorama Restaurant, the more casual gastro-pub delights of the vegetarian and vegan friendly Classic Restaurant to the comfy Stube dating back to 1887 serving delicious Raclettes in farmhouse parlour style.
They even make their ice-cream here - they have thought of everything for foodies and gourmands alike.
As if created & engineered by nature itself, the Spa of the Miramonti Hotel is perched onto the mountainside with a forest as the backdrop canopy, created by Merano architects Heike Pohl and Andreas Zanier.
As the name of the hotel suggests - we are talking here about views of sheer mountain eye-candy and from the Spa at 1230 metres- above-sea-level - you could almost grasp at the cotton clouds.
The absolute belleza and WOW factor is the new salt-water (Sole) pool of mountain infinity - it's like swimming on top of the Alps. Clever architecture has mimicked nature wrapping the pool in ancient volcanic slaps and Pfitschner silver quartz adding a magical cave-like grotto effect. Another ingenious taming of nature is the steps-away new Forest Sauna backed by the dense woodlands, the designer pod rests on stilts with floor-to-ceiling glass frontage dressed inside simply with bold black Hemlock adding a moody sense of visual drama. Outside is a courtyard Jacuzzi.
Meanwhile an open fire sets the tone in the new Relaxation House where you can sink into nothingness with absolute ease. A full Gym and fitness studio offer in-house training and guests can bespoke their needs out on the mountains, following forest trails or just a Yoga session in that perfect place.
Being so intertwined with nature, Miramonti's Vitalis Spa has partnered with the Italian Bollati family - creators of COMFORT ZONE run by Dr. Davide Bollati - Pharmacist & Cosmetic Chemist. Why so special? Well under their motto of "Real Active Beauty" and ethical charter, COMFORT ZONE is a purist and a perfect match to the ethos of the Miramonti. The Vitalis SPA specialises in the use of the sacred medicinal plant Vervain (Verbena) said to harness the pure strength of nature. One of the signature treatments uses the precious waters from Bagni di Pisa and the Miramonti's Verbena Porphyry Massage - you wont' want to leave the bed. Being so close to Meran, you can't but help to feel so blissfully far away when up at the Spa - Forest Therapy touched by the Mountains as created by the Miramonti Boutique Hotel.

Carmen Kruselburger & Klaus Alber's story is one of love. Not only love for each other, but love for their very unique location, their patch of nature that infuses them everyday to go further, to rethink and to re-connect.
"We knew as we first visited this hotel that we were at ease, we had arrived".
Motivated, smart and lovely, Klaus and Carmen have etched their creative vision onto the hotel with passion, instilling character, charm and a great sense of style.
Dreams do come true, sometimes, and here in this fairytale location, the tale has indeed a very happy ending, or is it just the beginning for these delectable hosts.
From its perch in northern Italy, South Tyrol, or Alto Adige as it is also known, is a jewel of ancient cultures set in the mighty crown of the Alps.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is giving his tenth annual press conference on Thursday. The news conference arouses extremely high expectations as it is to take place against the unprecedented background of spiraling financial and economic problems merged with worsening international ones. In the beginning of the conference Vladimir Putin will sum up the results of the year. Then the president will answer the journalists' questions.
A Ukrainian journalist asks about the situation in eastern Ukraine and alleged participation of Russia in the combat actions in the conflict region. Those Russians who are taking part in combat operations in the south-east of Ukraine as volunteers are not mercenaries, because they are not paid for this, Putin answered. Vladimir Putin said the military operation in Ukraine's east is indeed a punitive one. Russia is ready to mediate the Ukrainian conflict settlement, according to the president. Crisis in Ukraine should be settled by political means only, not by military means or by a blockade, Putin stressed. He reminded that the tenth humanitarian convoy is on the way to eastern Ukraine. The president of Ukraine wants to resolve the crisis in Ukraine, but he's not the only one, Vladimir Putin said, adding he was one of the people initiating the Minsk agreements.
Vladimir Putin says he thinks prisoners of war in Ukraine should be exchanged 'all for all'. The problem, according to the president, is that the lists of prisoners include innocent people that weren't involved in the conflict.

For me, real life stories are often a lot more effective in showing us "how to" than a regular old how-to article. Plus, hopefully they can help us gain more confidence that this seemingly undoable thing can actually be done — by us. And that includes finally getting a handle on debt!
In this case, I want to tell the story of someone – I'll call her Jennie — for whom debt had become a way of life. Owing $10,000 – $20,000 at any given time was not unusual for her. And for a long time, it didn't even worry her. After all, she was making decent money.
Why Jennie decided to do something about her debt
Living the life of debt pretty much meant that Jennie got to do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted. Broadway shows. Dinner out night after night. Vacations in the sun every few months. Presents for friends. That's a hard act to follow with what she saw as self denial!
But then a friend — ok me — showed her how much money she was throwing down the drain every month and over time. And I explained what that would mean when she's ready to retire, which for her always included a picture of easy living. Not the way she was going!
Here's are some basics of what her life of debt was costing her:
- With $15,000 total for her five (!!!) credit cards, her monthly minimum payments totaled $450. (Avg 3% monthly payment of outstanding debt at 18.5% interest.)
- She didn't really think about whether that was a lot, since she was always able to cover the minimum with the salary she was making. And so it was easy adding even more debt to her pile of credit IOUs.
- What she didn't understand was how much she was paying for that "convenience" since interest kept being charged her as she dragged the payments out for years and years (over 20 years !!! for that particular amount and terms if she kept paying only the minimum).
While exact terms of individual credit cards can vary, by the time she was done paying off just that initial amount under her terms, she would wind up paying almost exactly that original amount in interest — on top of repaying the original amount.
- For convenience, let's say she winds up paying another $15,000 on top of the original $15,000. If she had paid on time and instead invested that money, in 20 years — around when she wants to retire — she could have an extra $40,000+!
But instead of extra savings, if she keeps going as is, she'd not only have some of that same old debt still hanging around, but also any new debt she acquires — with both eating away at every retirement dollar she has. Cat food anyone?
Yet more to her debt-defying story
Besides the money she was losing to interest payments over an extended period of time, she had developed spending habits way beyond her means. Both her savings and retirement plan suffered from lack of contribution love.
When you get used to spending without thought, even if your income increases (and just imagine if it doesn't increase or even decreases), money continues to disappear. And with those habits, it's far too easy to get into trouble one day where your only choice is even more debt, such as if you lose your job or have a personal health or other emergency.
Yet another thing living on the edge of debt can cost us? It can trap you in a job or relationship you desperately want out of. And it can also cost you more for certain things you might want to buy on credit, like a house or car:
=> Credit Scores: How Your Credit Score Affects Price of Things
So what did Jennie do and how did it turn out?
It wasn't easy, but Jennie decided it was time for a major change, and she turned to me for help. Here are the steps we came up with that she followed through on. Not saying it was always easy, but she stuck to her promise to me … and more importantly to herself:
- First, she agreed to stop using all but one credit card for anything new – and to pay off those new charges on her card each month
- She also got someone she knows well to give her a consolidated "secured" loan for all her currently outstanding credit card debt.
- Not wanting to become another sad "don't ever do business with a friend" story, they drew up a formal contract carefully detailing the repayment schedule — with a fair market interest rate (still much lower than her credit cards) plus penalties as incentive to stick to the plan, which she did:
- They decided to make it a "secured" loan, meaning something would act as guarantee for the amount. In this case, Jennie allocated a percentage of her employer-provided life insurance to the lender. She could also have done that with her 401-K.
- She set up regular payments and kept them up until the entire loan was paid off, three years later.
- Jenny did the work I asked, which included creating two cash flow plans and two budgets — one of each to show what things looked like at that moment and the second of each after figuring out where to make cuts.
=> Sample Cash Flow: How To Create a Cash Flow Spreadsheet
=> Sample Budget: How To Create a Budget Plan Spreadsheet
- She also took a few extra freelance jobs to help increase the income side of the equation.
- And, though it took some effort — and she fell off the credit wagon a few times — she made it. She now has actual savings, pays her debt off EACH MONTH, and feels a huge weight lifted off of her debt-free shoulders.
A few more thoughts
While this plan worked for Jenny, I know her story may not be yours. You may have a different income situation. You may have more places that absolutely require money than places you can cut. And you may not have a bank or private lender who can step in and help with a much lower cost consolidated loan — without all kinds of things going wrong.
But no matter what your situation, getting a handle on your cash in and cash out numbers is a good starting place. And so is taking a long hard look at your credit situation — and then looking for places where you can cut back. Yes, even HBO and daily trips to Starbucks. And also for any extra income you can find, even if it's just working in a local store part-time. All the pieces add up.
And, if your debt is just so out of control you can't see the light, please consider finding a legitimate local non-profit that provides free counseling services. Since there are a lot of scam places out there, don't just trust anyone — even if they say they are a non-profit. You might try calling your Congressperson's office or even your bank or credit union and see if they can suggest a reputable place.

Remember: There is no shame in asking for help — but there is indeed great pride in feeling ownership of your own finances at last!
