: Product Recall
The culprit: Clairol Natural Instincts (semi-permanent dye); the newer version/formula which contains the 2 week color refresher packet.
The situation: My hair had been responding well to the older formula, or so it seemed. I noticed a subtle change in texture two months ago after the first treatment with the new formula. I chalked it up to a need for a clarifying shampoo. Then just a couple weeks ago, I repeated the treatment and right after was when my hair went haywire, with a drastically weakened curl pattern, flatness and fuzziness, and took forever drying.
Here's what I know now: it likely was more than the open cuticles/high porosity caused by the dye. Ten of these CNI colors have been officially recalled because they weren't formulated correctly. I have used at least one (#23R). Possibly more, because they are now expanding the original recall:
P&G expands Clairol Natural Instincts recall | Drug Store News
Here are disgruntled reviewers (2.3 stars out of 90 reviews)
Clairol Natural Instincts Review | WARNING!!! DO NOT USE!!!
A related amazon review search shows an alarming number of customers have had their hair trashed from this new formula. The two most common complaints were:
1. Hair turned orange (or some clownish, bright color).
2. Dye didn't take at all.
(Another common complaint was "turned my hair to straw".)
I suspect they made two errors: sent out some products with too much peroxide, and sent out others without enough. I likely got a peroxide overdose, based on my hair "symptoms". I'll keep using protein treatments, without going overboard, and then condition afterward.
I will stay the **** away from Natural Instincts. I actually still trust Clairol overall. I was going to use a henna/indigo/amla treatment, but instead I think I'm going to give my hair a rest, then use Clairol Professionals for gray hair, which has 0 peroxide in it.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:43pm
In my May 24th run-down, I mentioned that Ned Crotty is the real deal. I said that it seem like there was no sophomore slump for the reigning MLL rookie of the year. I couldn't have been more correct. Crotty practically carried the Rattlers on his shoulders while scoring five goals and two assists against Hamilton.
Without his two tallies in the beginning of the fourth to bring Rochester within three, the Rattlers wouldn't have been in position to make a game of it. Both goals were scored by overpowering defenders behind the net and beating Hamilton 'keeper Joe Marra on awkward angles. Sometimes, it looks like if Crotty really wants to score, he will find a way. The only other player I've ever seen in a Rochester uniform who made it look so easy was John Grant. His 10 goals have him tied for the league lead and his 14 points is one off of the league leaders.
Former Syracuse players John Galloway, Joel White and Jovan Miller made their Rattlers debut on Friday, June 10 when Rochester clashed with Hamilton at Sahlen's Stadium. A decent crowd of 4,131 saw the return of the team that was once the Rattlers (before relocating to Toronto before the '09 season).
Many familiar faces dot the Nationals' roster, including John Grant, Brodie Merrill, Brett Bucktooth and Rochester resident Joe Walters. Irondequoit High Scool product Walters scored two goals in his return to Rochester, but it was former Rattlers Grant who's third quarter hat trick and five points led to the 14-13 victory for the Nats. Not to be lost in the big offensive night by Grant was the play of goalie Marra. This would have been a much different game if Marra hadn't been a brick wall in making 16 saves (many of them point blank).
Besides Crotty, Rochester was led by four points from Hobart graduate Jeff Colburn (making his MLL debut) and four from Matt Striebel (including a two-pointer to pull Rochester within one in the final minute). Galloway had 12 saves in the losing effort.
Former Maryland star and local hero Grant Catalino should be making his debut at attack this weekend against the Cannons. Even though he didn't get a chance to suit up for his hometown team against the Nationals, he was in attendance on the sidelines.
"It was a different but exciting experience, not even playing but just being on the sidelines in front of the hometown fans at last Friday's game," said Catalino. "It was Webster Day (Catalino is from the town of Webster outside of Rochester), so that added to the excitement. I took a lot of pictures with the young ones and signed many autographs. It brought back some memories of when I was doing the same thing back in the day."
The likelihood of seeing Casey Powell on the field this year is dwindling, O'Hara said this week. On Powell: "Every day that goes by, I get less and less confident... We were excited about working together this summer and trying to go for a championship. His life has changed a bit. His schedule is full and we're trying to find ways to make it work," O'Hara said.
The Rattlers (0-3) will welcome the Boston Cannons (3-1) to Sahlen's Stadium on Saturday June 18th for a 7 pm showdown. So far, the Cannons have defeated Long Island (15-12 and 19-8) and Chesapeake (17-13). Their only hiccup is a 13-12 loss at the hands of Denver on May 21. The Cannons are at the top of the offensive rankings in almost every category. Midfielders Paul Rabil and Brad Ross are tied for the team and league lead in points with 15. They are followed closely behind by attackmen Max Quinzani and Ryan Boyle, who both tout 14 points.
If it isn't enough for Rochester to be afraid of the Boston offense, they are pretty good on defense as well. Goalie Kip Turner has been replaced by upstart Jordan Burke from Brown. He's 2-1 and one and is averaging 9.53 goals against average. In Boston's last game against Long Island Burke 24 saves and only allowed seven goals (one was a two-pointer).
Catalino will get his chance to don the Rattlers home uniform this weekend and he's ready to help his new team out.
"I practiced with the guys on Friday (last week) for the walk through. I spent most the time, getting used to the new sticks and equipment," said Catalino. "The offensive game plan strategies come easy, after playing lacrosse for over 16 years there is only so many formations to learn. I got a chance to talk with Matt (Striebel) and (Ned) Crotty. They are both very humble players as well as very welcoming."
He added that he hopes his addition will help turn this season around.
"With a 0-3 start, we have some ground to make up but we still have plenty of games to play. As long as we make the playoffs, as I learned this year from the NCAA's, anything can happen."

MEPA and 8 local councils sign agreement for funding of nine projects worth over €290,000
The Malta Environment & Planning Authority (MEPA) has signed an agreement with 8 local councils to fully or partially fund nine projects that will contribute towards the urban improvement of the respective localities. The highly successful, Urban Improvement Fund, will be financing over €290,000, as it keeps living up to its aim of 'creating better places to live in'.
In his address MEPA Chairman Mr Austin Walker said "The success of the Urban Improvement Fund stems from the sound working relationship and understanding the Authority has with local councils." Mr Walker also promised that MEPA "will continue to engage and invest in new, more efficient and effective ways to work hand in hand with local councils to ensure that all localities will continue to achieve high quality results through the promotion of more holistic and sustainable projects."
The projects that are being funded include the embellishment and upgrading works at Oreste Gardens in Hamrun, the Housing Estate in Ghaxaq and Birkirkara and Kennedy Square in Rabat (Gozo). Other projects also include new paving works around a number of streets in Msida, Zabbar, Marsascala and Marsa.
Speaking on the issue of sustainable localities, Dr. Chris Said, Parliamentary Secretary for Public Dialogue and Information concluded "that the Government's primary aim is to have sustainable localities, a concept that can be achieved only if we work to create and improve the urban environment of our country."
He added that "through this urban improvement fund, the Government is once again showing its commitment for sustainable localities, whereby MEPA is addressing the impact that development has on localities, by funding projects that 'create better places to live in.' The requested planning gain are used for projects within the same locality whereby the applications could not meet the parking provision criteria. Besides the 17% increase in direct funds allocated to local councils this year, amounting to €28 million, there are additional funds at the disposal of local councils, such as the Urban Improvement Fund that over these two and a half years has accumulated over €8.1 million."
The UIF committee, to date, has approved and financed 160 projects, equivalent to nearly €5million.

Looking for a list of 2014's best thriller books? First published back in early summer as "The Best of 2014 So Far," we've updated this post as our reviewers have finalized their year-end lists. Whether you learn toward sci-fi thrillers, conspiracy fiction, medical thrillers, hard-boiled mysteries, vatican thrillers or are somewhere on the political end of the spectrum, there's something here for you.
Did we miss something great? Have something you want to recommend? Tell us in the comments!
The Last Town
A jaw-dropping paranormal thriller series that is clearly deserving of the TV deal it landed. Read it now before all you can imagine is Matt Dillon in the read role.
Welcome to Wayward Pines, the last town.
Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrived in Wayward Pines, Idaho, three weeks ago. In this town, people are told who to marry, where to live, where to work. Their children are taught that David Pilcher, the town's creator, is god.
No one is allowed to leave; even asking questions can get you killed.
But Ethan has discovered the astonishing secret of what lies beyond the electrified fence that surrounds Wayward Pines and protects it from the terrifying world beyond. It is a secret that has the entire population completely under the control of a madman and his army of followers, a secret that is about to come storming through the fence to wipe out this last, fragile remnant of humanity.
Blake Crouch's electrifying conclusion to the Wayward Pines Series—now a Major Television Event Series debuting Winter 2015 on FOX—will have you glued to the page right down to the very last word.
Mr. Mercedes
In Mr. Mercedes, King has created one of the most unexpected, original and despicable villains in modern literature. And yes, it's "literature." The razor-sharp craftsmanship evident n the psychological war between the Mr. Mercedes and the man he dismisses as "the fat ex-cop" is beyond brilliant.
Just when we were sure that King couldn't top his time-travel thriller 11/22/1963, he comes out with one of his most robust tales ever. In terms of sheer stakes, it's easy to mistake this book as "small" by King's standards (if you call running down down a handful of innocents waiting in a job line small). There's no massive mysterious dome that suddenly appears over an entire town, no opportunity to save John F. Kennedy and change the course of history.
But Mr. Mercedes is anything but small. Both the book's protagonist and its villain are themselves masterpieces. At every point in the book, we know exactly what they want and the things about their past, present and future that are driving them to get there. The genre of retired detectives coming back to solve one more case could be a genre unto itself, but we guarantee you've never read one like this.
In a mega-stakes, high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely and winning heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from blowing up thousands.
In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes.
In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the "perk" and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy.
The Drop
Like slipping on your favorite pair of shoes, you always know what you're going to get with a new Lehane novel. Still, The Drop manages to be his most satisfying outing since Mystic River.
Dennis Lehane's The Drop began as a short story called "Animal Rescue."
Adapted into a film starring the late James Gandolfini in his final role, Lehane has since expanded into a full-length mystery, which is nearly as satisfying as anything we've read by him since Mystic River.
By we all know the classic Lehane characters, and those in The Drop are no different. They live in Boston, live hardscrabble lives, spend spend time in bars, where they smoke and watch too much sports.
Nevertheless, it's comforting to step back into Lehane's impeccably detailed world. This one zooms in on a bar used by Chechen gangsters for money drops.
While there are few real surprises in The Drop, it's impossible not to become immediately invested in the plight of Bob, his dog, and the portion of the city Lehane calls "The Flats."
Lehane's storytelling remains gritty and detailed, and it's his characters are ultimately what sets him apart from the throngs of up-and-coming thriller novelists.
Cop Town
We were blown away by this one from relative newcomer by Karin Slaughter.
Atlanta, 1974: As a brutal murder and a furious manhunt rock the city's police department, Kate Murphy wonders if her first day on the job will also be her last.
She's determined to defy her privileged background by making her own way—wearing a badge and carrying a gun. But for a beautiful young woman, life will be anything but easy in the macho world of the Atlanta PD, where even the female cops have little mercy for rookies.
It's also the worst day possible to start given that a beloved cop has been gunned down, his brothers in blue are out for blood, and the city is on the edge of war.
Kate isn't the only woman on the force who's feeling the heat.
Maggie Lawson followed her uncle and brother into the ranks to prove her worth in their cynical eyes. When she and Kate, her new partner, are pushed out of the citywide search for a cop killer, their fury, pain, and pride finally reach the boiling point.
With a killer poised to strike again, they will pursue their own line of investigation, risking everything as they venture into the city's darkest heart.
Missing You
If you still haven't jumped onto the Harlan Coben bandwagon, it really doesn't get much better than this one.
It's a profile, like all the others on the online dating site.
But as NYPD Detective Kat Donovan focuses on the accompanying picture, she feels her whole world explode, as emotions she's ignored for decades come crashing down on her.
Staring back at her is her ex-fiancé Jeff, the man who shattered her heart 18 years ago.
Kat feels a spark, wondering if this might be the moment when past tragedies recede and a new world opens up to her.
But when she reaches out to the man in the profile, her reawakened hope quickly darkens into suspicion and then terror as an unspeakable conspiracy comes to light, in which monsters prey upon the most vulnerable.
And that is a story that you just cannot resist.
The Fellowship
Another great outing from William Tyree, who is finding a niche with his Blake Carver series.
In Washington D.C., an American senator is the victim of a depraved murder.
In London, a senior member of parliament is brutally slain in the tunnels beneath Whitehall.
Only one thing appears to link the American and British politicians – the archaic ritual used to kill them.
As wayward intelligence operative Blake Carver hunts for the perpetrators, he discovers an ancient order of assassins thought to have been dissolved centuries ago.
During an epic chase that takes him from the corridors of Washington to the wilds of South Africa and the catacombs of Rome, he finds himself caught in a shadow war that threatens to engulf the entire world.
Stone Cold
We loved this country-fried thriller served up by C.J. Box
Everything about the man is a mystery.
The massive ranch in the remote Black Hills of Wyoming that nobody ever visits.
The women who live with him.
The secret philanthropies, the private airstrip, the sudden disappearances.
And especially the persistent rumors that the man's wealth comes from killing people.
Joe Pickett, still officially a game warden but now mostly a troubleshooter for the governor, is assigned to find out what the truth is, but he discovers a lot more than he'd bargained for.
There are two other men living up at that ranch.
One is a stone-cold killer who takes an instant dislike to Joe.
The other is new—but Joe knows him all too well.
The first man doesn't frighten Joe.
The second is another story entirely.
The Counterfeit Agent
The latest outing by Alex Berenson is his best since his debut, The Faithful Spy.
In an Istanbul hotel, a deep source warns a CIA agent that Iran intends to kill a CIA station chief.
Quickly, John Wells is called in to investigate, but before he can get far, the tip comes true.
Which means that the next warning the source gives will be taken very seriously indeed.
And it's a big one. We've put a package on a ship from Dubai to the United States.
A radioactive one. A bomb? Not yet. It's a test run.
As the threat level jumps and the government mobilizes, something still doesn't smell right to Wells's old CIA boss Ellis Shafer, and so he sends Wells on a private mission to find out what's going on.
But the two of them are swimming against the tide. From Guatemala to Thailand to Hong Kong to Istanbul, Wells uses every skill he has, including his ability to go undercover in the Arab world, to chase down leads.
But it might not be enough. Soon there might be nothing anyone can do to pull the United States back from the brink of war.
The Cairo Affair
This one by Olen Steinhauer is not to be missed.
Sophie Kohl is living her worst nightmare.
Minutes after she confesses to her husband, a mid-level diplomat at the American embassy in Hungary, that she had an affair while they were in Cairo, he is shot in the head and killed.
Stan Bertolli, a Cairo-based CIA agent, has fielded his share of midnight calls. But his heart skips a beat when he hears the voice of the only woman he ever truly loved, calling to ask why her husband has been assassinated.
Omar Halawi has worked in Egyptian intelligence for years, and he knows how to play the game.
Foreign agents pass him occasional information, he returns the favor, and everyone's happy.
But the murder of a diplomat in Hungary has ripples all the way to Cairo, and Omar must follow the fall-out wherever it leads.
American analyst Jibril Aziz knows more about Stumbler, a covert operation rejected by the CIA, than anyone. So when it appears someone else has obtained a copy of the blueprints, Jibril alone knows the danger it represents.

You should be asking for support in the Windows category... this is support for iOS devices, ie Apple TV 2, iPad, iPhone...
But start by making sure your audio output device is correct, try playing the files outside of XBMC using VLC or something as a test to make sure they actually work, would also help to know what the audio codec in the broken media is.

Northgate Coordinated Transportation Investment Plan
"Better Ways to Get Around in Northgate"
SDOT Selects Mirai as CTIP Consultant
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is pleased to announce the selection of Mirai Associates as the consultant team to assist SDOT in undertaking the Northgate Comprehensive Transportation Investment Plan (NCTIP). While both Mirai and the other finalist - Norton-Arnold - competing for this role were highly qualified and fully participated in the selection process, SDOT decided that the Mirai-led team which also included Parsons Brinckerhoff, Huckell-Weinman, Henderson, Young and Company and EnviroIssues brought a most exceptional range of experience and depth of talent to the project.
SDOT looks forward to bringing Mirai team on board as soon as an initial contract can be finalized. Their first major objective will be to develop a "scope of work" for CTIP. What that means is a list of specific tasks that will comprise the key elements of CTIP, from analysis of current and future needs to specific improvements. This task list will be developed with direction from SDOT and other City departments, and with significant input from the community.
Soon you'll see posted to this page a description of the scoping process, a schedule of major milestones and important questions you might consider to help Mirai and the City develop the scope. In addition, please feel free to contact me at any time with questions or comments regarding CTIP.

Yes your not gonna be able to crack WEP but don't get me wrong its possible but since your new it's damn near impossible for you.
Second yes, you can install it on a partition when running the installer click manual and of you go with some more research if you can't figure out the rest.
If you want to crack WEP go buy the TP-Link tl-wn821n wireless usb dongle and follow these instructions I know this one works, because I bought one yesterday and if you can't find that one, here is the list of some wireless usb dongles and the instructions.
This the best advice your gonna get on the WEP cracking thing trust me now here's the list
P.S READ the WHOLE thing and NOT just the BOXES.

" Type: Mascara / Brand: Clarins / Suitable for: Eyes / Contents: 9ml / Subcategory: Mascara / Skin type: All skin types / What it does: protects / waterproof: yes "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I originally heard about this product from Sali Hughes, the beauty columnist in The Guardian newspaper. I have a tendancy towards watery eyes and sometimes my eyes start streaming as soon as I go out of the door and face the slightest bit of wind. This has caused me issues with mascaras running and can be embarrassing! I wished my mascara was waterproof. I almost wondered whether I should just quit wearing mascara all together. Then I heard of this. Sali Hughes said it is often used for brides to stop their mascara running through any tears on their big day, so I decided to try it.
It comes in a white mascara tube containing 9 ml of product.
The product description states it is like "a raincoat for lashes, to protect mascara from sea, pool, tears and rain". I apply my usual mascara and then add a coat or two of Clarins Fix Mascara over the top to act as a transparent sealant. It is important to make sure you fully coat the lashes in Fix Mascara, both underneath and on the top, so that they are completely protected.
I found that it really is strongly waterproof. My mascara held up against my watery eyes as well as rain and wind. I have not tested it in a swimming pool but according to Clarins supposedly the mascara should even last while swimming. It also stops any smudging which I sometimes got if I accidentally touched my eye.
The one negative point is that, even though Fix Mascara is transparent, it seems to slightly dilute and dull the colour of the mascara. Mascaras that are a true black seem to appear less vibrant and more of a muted charcoal black once I put the waterproof coat on top of them. After the Fix Mascara has been used a lot, you can see that the product inside the tube is turning a horrible grey colour instead of clear due to the brush picking up some black mascara from the lashes.
Over all, the product definitely does work and live up to its promise. However, it gets quite expensive if you have to buy two products - normal mascara and a separate waterproof coat - so I think I will try a few waterproof mascaras to hopefully do the job in one step at a cheaper price but if I can't find one that is waterproof enough or if I know my mascara will be getting wet for some reason, I would have no hestitation in buying this again as it is definitely reliable.
Active Ingredients: Sheer waxes and filmogenic agents: form a highly effective waterproofing film over lashes // Waterproof your favourite mascara with this clever transparent sealer / Think raincoat for lashes, to protect mascara from sea, pool, tears and rain / Beauty Benefits: Not only will it make every non-waterproof mascara 100% waterproof, but it can also be worn on its own as a barely-there, glossy lash styler and brow groomer / Application: Apply your regular Clarins mascara / Next seal with Double Fix' Mascara by taking the brush from root to lash tip, above and then below /

Re: Thinking Mathematica: Any suggestions?
Thanks everyone for your comments. In my mind, the difficulties that I
have (and perhaps others) is that I am accustomed to "seeing"
explicitly the indices being manipulated. As such, when programming in
Mathematica and using indexed values is more or less obviated by
things such as Map, Apply, etc., keeping track sometimes becomes lost.
Having said that, I am becoming more comfortable with Mathematica's
approach, albeit slowly, and I suspect that with more practice it will
sort itself out in the end.

this is a How To document for anyone who doesn't have an FSM or doesn't know how to change brake pads and rotors.
This was done on a 98 Seville. These are the rear pads and rotors but the front if i remember correctly is similar.
Tools Required: 12mm, 15mm sockets or box wrenches, caliper piston socket tool, Jack & Jack Stands.
Complete set of pictures are here: http://gallery.iametarq.com/photos/c...%20sls/brakes/
Before starting the procedure it is sometimes necessary to remove the cap from the brake fluid resevoir and remove some of the fluid so it does not over flow when turning the caliper piston. I have never had this happen before, but if you are uncertain you should check with a professional. Some also bleed the brake lines, but I have never done this for just changing rotors and pads, and I have not had any issues in not doing so. If you DO have problems braking, such as petal going all the way to the floor, you may need to bleed your lines to remove air. This document should be used as a reference and not as law. I am not a certified mechanic, GM has no affiliation with me, nor does any repair manual. With that being said...
1. Loosen all the lugs on the wheels.
2. Raise the vehicle properly and secure with jack stands.
3. Remove the wheels.
4. when you remove the wheels you will see the following:
5. Remove the Brake Pad Wear Sensor by removing the silver clip seen in the picture below. It has the black wire going into the back side of the silver clip. The sensor is set in an intent in the brake pad. Remove/Unplug any other sensors you feel might get in the way of the repair and keep them out of the way.
6. Remove the lower caliper bolt by using a 12mm socket. Be careful not to strip the head if it is frozen on place. image below:
7: Lift the caliper from the bottom and support it/hang it with a wire coat hanger. If your caliper wont budge like mine wouldn't I used a pry bar, VERY CAREFULLY on the bottom edge of the caliper for some extra leverage. You don't want to damage the brake fluid line going into the caliper. At this point you are supposed to remove the parking brake cable but for the life of me, I have never been able to get it off, so I leave it as is. Once the caliper is lifted you can pull off the inner and outer brake pads.
8. Using the caliper piston tool you already picked up from the auto parts store you will need to twist the caliper piston back into the caliper as far as it will go in preparation for the new brake pads. Do it slowly, it's a bit time consuming anyway. If you don't need to replace your rotors skip to step 12.
9. Now that you have supported the caliper and removed the old brake pads, it is time to remove the large metal 'guard' the the caliper is attached to in order to remove the old rotor. This requires a 15mm socket, and probably a VERY long handled wratchet. i had to use my 24" torque ratchet. There are two bolts, one on top, one on bottom. You can see my socket on the lower one in this picture:
10. Now that you have removed the two bolts support the caliper and guard somehow, so they are not dangling. this will prevent damage to the brake line and parking brake cable. You will now have a naked wheel hub:
11. Put on your new rotors and put the two 15mm bolts back in place and tighten them. I didn't have my FSM handy but I torqued them down to 50lbs, official torque is 94lbs.
12. I don't know if this is necessary anymore, but i apply a bit of anti-squeel compound to the backs of the brake pads. let it dry for about 5 minutes then reinstall the brake pads, while holding the caliper (it should still be hanging by the coat hanger, anyway) in the UP position. Sorry no picture if JUST the pads on with out the caliper in the installed position.
13. Put the caliper back into position and reinstall the lower caliper bolt and torque it down with 20lbs. "Plug" the Brake Pad Wear Sensor back into the indent on the brake pad.
14. Double check that any sensors that were unplugged are attached again, and make sure all your bolts are properly torqued back in.
15. Install your wheel, hand tighten lugs, lower vehicle, torque lug nuts to 100lbs.
16. Start the car and pump the brake petal until it is firm again.
17. Take car for test drive.
18. Give yourself a pat on the back.
**disclaimer: i am not responsible for any unfortunate turn of events due to user error in this procedure. if you don't feel comfortable doing this, have a professional do it for you.

Thanks I not going to waste my time and money on that..... I will have to find another 2.5 from a tj..
How soon do you need the motor? I am doing the entire 2.5 to 4.0 swap. I have my new 4.0 and in need of money for the misc expenses. I have the 2.5 that is currently in my jeep with 169k miles still in the jeep that's up for sale simply because I don't need it. I also have another 2.5 from a 93 with 124k miles on it. It's totally torn apart in preparation for rebuild but I decided to swap in the 4.0 message me if either interest you. Email is firstname.lastname@example.com I am located in southern nh
