99 740iL - what a deal!! New to me e38...
So I think I got a great deal today, but only time will tell...
I was browsing on craigslist this morning when I saw an ad for a 99 740il for $350?
Figured it was a scam of some sort, but a few phone calls later I was standing in front of a 99 740il that was actually as described.
The body was straight and the paint looked good. Even the interior was in pretty good shape. Basically a dirty car that should look pretty sharp after a thorough cleaning...
It even started right up! and idled smoothly! and moved forward and back a dozen feet under it's own power!
201,000 miles.
The problem, as described to me, was a massive coolant leak from the rear of the engine and that an inspection had turned up a burst hose and another hose that looked about to burst.
Also, in a fit of rage, the owner had gone to the DMV and had the car junked instead of spending $$ to diagnose and fix the problem. Then the owner left the car at the shop, never to return. The guy at the shop grew tired of looking at it the last few months and figured the first person with $350 cash could take it away...
So now there is a 740il with no plates, no title, and no coolant sitting here. I did get a bill of sale at least.
Best case I can get it running again with some hoses and a solid day of cleaning, get a title (salvaged?) from the DMV for a reasonable cost, and be driving in a nice e38 for under $1000.
Worst case it gets parted out, the body gets sold for scrap metal, and I make a couple of dollars after doing some work.
I have owned a handful of 7s in the past ('79 733i, '84 733i, '87 735i, '91 750il, and a '93 740i) and am hoping that all goes well and I can get some time behind the wheel of this one.
PS. I may be in the market soon for a cheap wrecked e38 with a clean title and current registration. anyone?
*keeping fingers crossed*
Hi, u can't retitle a junked vehicle. Only thing u can do is part it out
2 Attachment(s)
So I found the leak... A small heater hose at the back of the motor. It is on order and should be here today!
Then I get to try and figure out why there is oil in the water... Head/gasket? Radiator?
@justchill... In CA you can retitle and register a junked vehicle. You need to get a brake and light inspection along with a smog certificate. After paying the DMV, you recieve a "salvage" title to the vehicle. If I keep it as a driver, the salvage title doesn't matter. It is when I go to sell it that the value will take a hit.
A couple of pics...
Nice, hopefully that solves the motor issue. Good luck with the title. Let us know How it goes
Head gasket(s) or possibly inlet manifold gasket(s) (common problem). Head gaskets can blow if engine boiled. If tranny fluid in radiator then you have a radiator problem with cooling tube in cool tank..
Great for you, Norcal. For $350, I don't think I need to say you can't go wrong. Just got mine over the weekend and thoroughly enjoy it! Good luck.
If you decide to resell it, please hit me up, i would like that car.
War Machine
Pull the trigger.
good form old man. I am jealous of you disregard of sense and opportunity taking. Do it!
Then if you could find me a 750 with a bad motor, I would be forever grateful!
If the pictures do it justice, 350 is a STEAL. Even if you cannot resell it, you can use as your daily driver and reap the bmw experience! The engine issues are little concerning but even if you have to get another engine with it having a good looking body, you are still coming out way ahead!
btw, does the seller have anymore he would like to sell? ijs
Sorry to bring back a long dormant topic but...
an update.
This car has served me well for a couple of years and about 12,000 miles but the end of the road may be here. Driving home the other day lots of bad noises started coming from the motor and the CEL came on. Made it home (only about 5 miles fortunately) and upon first inspection it seems the plastic valve guides are shot. Motor still starts and runs, but makes horrible noise. I will be pulling the valve covers/upper timing covers to confirm, but if what I suspect is the case she has driven her last mile (in my hands at least)
Anyone need some parts? want a project that is not worth the $$ it needs to make it right?
It has been a fun ride and I loved this car on the long road trips I took it...
Just drop your oil pan. What you find there will tell you all you need to know. You're likely to find pieces of the timing chain guide.

Bachelor of Science, May 2010
Concentration: Global Development, Spanish and Latin American Cultures
Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service
Master of Public Administration, May 2011
Dual Degree
Profile (.pdf)
Madeline Kane graduated in May 2010 with a B.A. in Global Development, magna cum laude. She was awarded highest honors for her senior thesis on immigration policy and has been named a Presidential Honors Scholar and a Goldman Sachs Global Leader.
Madeline aims to change U.S. policy in order to promote economic empowerment for women, both domestically and abroad. She has lobbied at the state and national level, working for trade reform with Oxfam America and campaigning with Domestic Workers United to extend basic workplace protections to nannies and housekeepers.
In order to understand the effects of NAFTA and American policy on development in Mexico, Madeline took a leave of absence from NYU to study rural development at the University of Guadalajara as a sophomore.
Through her work with the New York City Fair Trade Coalition, Madeline first saw the power of entrepreneurship help poor artisans. She has volunteered in Costa Rica to help women develop a business, and subsequently applied this experience in Guadalajara to help found a women's artisan cooperative. The organization, Mnini (www.mnini.org), is now recognized as the first indigenous cooperative in the state of Jalisco, Mexico.
Madeline continues to learn about the power of legislation to lift women out poverty through her work experience. She interned on Capitol Hill for Sen. Robert Casey, and in New York on the Women's Leadership Initiative of political advocacy organization Demos.
After graduation, Madeline will travel to Haiti with fellow scholar Jessica Mason to develop income-generating opportunities for women survivors of the January 12 earthquake. In the Fall, she will return to NYU to complete her Masters of Public Administration on a full scholarship while serving as a Graduate Assistant in the office of the Dean.

I've been asking for Shoutcast support for months. It was supposedly put in one of the svn's but I have no idea how to compile that stuff. Why it hasn't been included in an official release I don't know. I just don't think the developers are that interested because they don't use it personally. Like you said, this "Official" remote is awesome, just lacking Shoutcast support. Thanks for the info!

try saving your favorite shoutcast stations as .pls files in a folder. then browse to it using folder view on the remote. i've saved my top 20 and it plays them from the remote, tho the buffering time produces an error.

Will look again into this but last time I've checked XBMC only gave us IDs and no names for Shoutcast streams. Do you have a link to the remote that does this correctly?

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forums before posting. Do NOT e-mail Team-XBMC members asking for support. For troubleshooting and bug reporting, make sure you read this first.

looks like this is all in vain now anyway because of aol buying out shoutcast.
but it was xbmc remote from the android market.

What are you smoking re AOL bought out shoutcast? Shoutcast has been part of AOL since the day when they bought out Nullsoft which was MANY years ago.. in addition shoutcast is a standard not a product per se so it cannot be bought out anymore than gnutella was able to be bought out back then. You may be referring to the 2010 redesign of the site which forces the use of a toolbar and its aol bullshit to access the shoutcast.com directory of stations etc..
That said, there is *no* reason to be using XBMC remote to stream shoutcast stations on android when there is a winamp for android that plays them beautifully.. playing shoutcast at home is one thing, playing it by streaming it to your xbmc box at home then restreaming to your phone? that seems... both silly and wasteful.

craig198, while it's true that Shoutcast plugin support has been disabled by the fine folks at AOL, XBMC is still able to play Shoutcast streams. I have my streams saved as *.pls files on my HTPC and they play fine using XBMC. I would love to see this remote recognize these files and let me select them. When I navigate to them the remote recognizes them as a folder and I get an error when i select play folder. Freezy, "XBMC remote control" by Beungoud from the Android Market does recognize these files and allows me to play them. ID and Shoutcast names is not that important but playing these *.pls files would be great. Also is m3u and Playlist support possible? Using the Night skin I am able to select sub menu Playlist under Music to play these. That would be a nice addition to this already fantastic remote!

It turns out when you're trying to be a champion, you don't always have time to try to look cool. Sometimes you just have to do what it takes and hope that later the awesomeness of being champion will erase any embarrassing moments from memory.
Maybe you live someplace where fireworks are illegal. Maybe secretly every time you hear some go off you are momentarily terrified that somebody on a neighboring block has just been shot to death. Maybe both (Brooklyn, rep!).
Well, here's something you don't see every day (unless you follow this guy around, in which case, move along ... move along). It's a man with a mohawk playing "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC on bagpipes that shoot flames...
In case you haven't been following that whole "Paula Deen is a huge racist" thing very closely, here's a video to get you up to speed. Sort of. It's actually kind of confusing.
Now you don't have to take an over-saturated picture of your lunch -- now you can take an over-saturated 15-second long video of your lunch.
Hey, is it a rainy, miserable day where you are too? No? Then get off the internet and enjoy the sun for those less fortunate. For the rest of us, here's this video of dogs hanging their heads out of a car window.
We know -- we know. Last night was the season finale of 'Game of Thrones,' which means there's almost 10 months until you get a new episode...
Legend has it that 30 years ago Atari buried a massive cache of video game cartridges in a landfill in New Mexico. Specifically, they buried tons and tons of copies of the failed 'E.T.' video game, an Atari non-classic that nearly sunk the gaming industry. Now a film crew has been given six months to search the massive 100 acre landfill to find the motherlode of lost games and confirm that the story is really true.
If you're looking to publicly humiliate yourself while also getting some cardio, you need to see this video. Prancercise is the exercise for you.
Let this video be your inspiration/motivation for the day (or perhaps the rest of your life). Scott was born with cerebral palsy. Despite doctors telling his mother when he was a baby that he would be a "vegetable," Scott works out at the gym, and can lift bigger weights than we can. He also walks on a treadmill, which is more cardio than we've done in the past three years or so.
Yet another reason we are more than happy to just google something -- Siri is a real jerk. This compilation of Vine videos from artist Ridd Sorensen might be a slight exaggeration, but we think he's got the gist of it right...

Mobile communications and M2M player Gemalto has realized impressive gains in revenues and profit for the first half of 2013 thanks in part to a better product mix at its M2M division.
The company saw overall revenues increase by 11% over the same period of 2012, to €1.13 billion ($1.49 billion), while net profit rose by 9.3%, to €105 million.
"Gemalto [Amsterdam, Netherlands] recorded another strong semester of profitable growth, more than offsetting increased investments in operations made in the second part of last year," said Olivier Piou, Gemalto's chief executive.
"Over the period, our teams continued to deploy milestone programs and we are on track to meet our objectives for 2013," he added. "The announcement next week of our new development plan will provide company's stakeholders with Gemalto's blueprint to leverage the expanding opportunities we have in front of us."
Gemalto's M2M business reported a 6% increase in revenues, to €96.6 million, thanks to strong demand for new commercial offerings in the automotive sector and other multi-service connectivity systems.
Meanwhile, the division's gross margin rose to 34.2% of revenues from 32.7% in the year-earlier half, reflecting the improved portfolio of products and developments in the platforms and services area.
Last month, the company struck an important agreement with Kore Telematics [Alpharetta, GA, USA] that will see the US-based MVNO bundle Gemalto's cloud platform with its managed-services offering.
Nevertheless, Gemalto's mobile communications business remains the biggest contributor to overall sales, generating revenues of €505 million over the first half of 2013, 8% more than in the first six months of 2012.
The company said that growth accelerated in the second quarter, with "deployment of next-generation technologies [generating] strong organic expansion".
Gemalto noted that recently acquired businesses contributed €9 million of the revenue increase recorded for the first six months of the year.
Owing to an increase in operating expenses, made to support activity in the platforms and services area, net profit at the mobile communications division rose by just 1.6%, to €70.5 million.

Helen Gee Chin Scholarship Foundation Fundraiser, June 5, 2016
The 5th Annual Fundraiser for the Helen Gee Chin Scholarship Foundation was a great success. It was an amazing show and we had the best turnout ever. For the 20th anniversary of the school, we opened the show with 20 lions on stage! We invited a few of our local scholarship winners to attend and perform at the fundraiser, so the audience could put a face to some of the award recipients. Over the past 5 years, we've awarded more than $50,000 to 27 students from 12 states and 17 martial arts schools. As people become more aware of the scholarship, even more will apply.
This was the first attempt to Livestream the event, and we did encounter a hitch, but a new video link will be made available soon on our website. You can support the Foundation even if you couldn't make the show by buying a virtual ticket on Livestream.
For Livestream information and virtual ticket pricing, visit:

With monies raised from past fundraiser events and donations, the Foundation has awarded more than $50,000 over 5 years. Still, we are trying to raise more so funds can reach an endowment level. To that end, we also have a GoFundMe page where you can see some of the students who have benefited from these scholarships (a few of those students will also be making a guest appearance at the fundraiser).
For updates, follow our FaceBook page.
About the Scholarship
The Helen Gee Chin Scholarship Foundation was founded on March 7, 2011, to honor the memory of Helen Gee Chin, wife of Sifu Chin of Calvin Chin's Martial Arts Academy, Inc. Simo was the administrator at CCMAA for 15 years and was involved with preserving the history and promoting the practice of traditional Chinese martial arts. She was beloved by her husband, the students of the Academy that she ran with him, and by the martial arts community as a whole. The Foundation is offering college scholarships to encourage academic achievement and motivate individuals to become serious students of the Chinese martial arts.
The scholarship is open to students who plan to enroll full-time as an undergraduate at an accredited U.S. four-year college or university and meet the minimum eligibility requirements: U.S. citizenship, five or more years* of study in Chinese Martial Arts (Kung Fu, Wu Shu, or Tai Chi), and a "B" average grade or better. Scholarship recipients are selected based on criteria such as martial arts study and achievement*, academic achievement, a written essay, and participation and leadership in community and school activities. Further details about eligibility and the selection process can be found on the scholarship application.
The Foundation is based in Newton, Massachusetts at Calvin Chin's Martial Arts Academy Inc. ("CCMAA"). The Foundation is funded by donations, which it solicits primarily within the Chinese martial arts community, and through public support. The Foundation believes that both the solicitation and the award processes will encourage academic achievement by young practitioners of the Chinese martial arts.
* The 5 year study minimum and expectation of tournament competition may be reduced in the case of special life circumstances (see Section 10 of the application).

In June, journalist and fellow tai chi instructor, Violet Li, had a conversation with Sifu Calvin Chin about his late wife, Helen Gee Chin, and the scholarship fund he founded in her name.

text: Howdy folks! Well, awhile back I had asked for advice about a honeymoon location and that is now set. Ireland/England. We will be spending eight in Ireland and then hope to cover a chunk of England in four days (maybe five). FH wants to see London - though he wants to see the surface - the things London is famous for... so that *should* only take us a day (as in he is willing to hop on a double decker tour). What we will need here is a reasonably priced hotel - any to recommend? He also wants to go to Liverpool... I have family in Manchester, Sheffield and Wigan - so that is not a problem! There will be a family gathering in Wigan to celebrate our wedding (or there is a *slight* chance it could be in Eastborne in the South). So, my question is - what should I cover in the North if I only have two or three days to do it? Advice?

Hello Fellow WVMTR members:
I am involved with the Charleston Distance Run and I would like to invite you to run our race this year. I know it is a road race but it is a challenging one and we all like challenges.
This year we did two new things that we hope runners will appreciate. First we lowered the entry fee for those who register early. To take advantage of the $20 early registration fee your entry must be postmarked by May 1st. We will strictly enforce that postmark date. Early entry forms are available at www.charlestondistancerun.com
Secondly, we did away with prize money and instead are giving every entrant two performance moisture management shirts, a short sleeve and a long sleeve shirt. These are great for training and racing in any weather.
This is our 38th year, we need to keep our participation numbers up in order to keep our sponsors – register early and help assure this quality race stays around for its 40th year in 2012.
-Gary Smith

Carrier gurus, I need help wiring Infinity Control
Hello. We currently an Infinity Control that i connected to our 58MVC furnace using the 4 wire ABCD bus, we also have a 5/1/1 White Rodgers t-stat using 3 wires (RC,Y,G) to control a separate non comunicating single stage split ac system.
We would like to consolidate into a single thermostat using only the infinity control to program both systems. From what i understand by reading the Carrier manuals that i have to wire our AC system into the 24v terminal block located in our 58MVC furnace. However since i have a split system my air handler uses the G terminal, Do i connect the ac system with all three wires using the C Y G terminals? Or would connecting all three wires to the 24v terminal block turn the air handler fan on when the heat kicks on? Or should i jump G and Y together and connect only to terminal Y on the furnace 24v terminal block?
Also do i bypass the transformer on the air handler and connect everything straight to the 24v terminal block on the furnace?
Thank you in advance, your help is greatly appreciated!

text: Howdy! These questions go out to all you Isuzu guru's as I am a novice with playing with these engines. I recently bought a 93 GMC light half ton truck (6000 gvw) 2wd with a bad 6v engine. It is a bean can model with only real options being the auto trans and air. Has 96K miles really straight body interior & paint and a 10 bolt (8.5") rear with 3.42 gears. I want to build a work truck thats gets GREAT fuel milage as I sometimes drive 200+ miles with work. Dont really plan on towing anything with it, I only haul about 4-500lbs of equip. I already have a 94 4bd2tc with the stock 5 speed trans that I want to put into this truck. By looking at the chart below, it seems the engine peaks torque 1900-2200 rpm in stock form.(taken from engine specs in sticky section) For best fuel economy, in what range would I need to keep my rpm to achieve best fuel economy and cruise? Is the 19-2200 the range to shoot for?? I know the stock 5 speed has no overdrive but I can play with rear end gears and tires to make up a final drive pretty equal to overdrive. It also appears that the engine keeps making horsepower up to 2800 but economy must fall on its face in the upper rpm range. Thanks for any and all your help and comments in advance! Chic

- Stylist:
- Callie
Jul 18, 2009 - I have had awful hairdressers before, but this experience has completely made up for all of that. Callie is so relaxed, friendly, and helpful, as well as the rest of the Toujour staff. I felt at ease right away, and trusted Callie to cut my hair. My cut is perfect. Everything I wanted Callie did, and she listened to me if I thought something else should be cut/shaped. My dense 3b hair is now more manageable and stylish. After my cut was finished, I was sorry to leave; I was having so much fun with Callie. No products were pushed on me, and she even gave me inexpensive tips on products. I ended up buying some things because I wanted them, and their product line is great for curlies. (DevaCurl and Keratasse are in the salon)

It is not for me to go into the strath with news of the dead.
But the weak and less vigorous loadstones, enfeebled by the flow of humours, are visible in every region, in every strath.

This individual was born in the parish of strath, Isle of Skye, in the year 1762.
In this, as in other Welsh and Gaelic names, the word strath is a prefix to the name of the adjoining river.
It had no special significance; it was so called merely because "strath" in Scotch means a valley through which a stream meanders.

This is a 5 arm, 10 light fixture. The ability for the Victorians to put both gas and electric lights on a single arm was a difficult thing to do. It required the tube to be divided perfectly with an internal soldered baffle without a single leak. Even with our technology today, it can still be a daunting task.
The only reproduced "crown and spoke" 4" diameter gas fitter was recreated for this light.
All the sockets are rated for 100 watts.
Price does not include the shades, though the shades shown are 068G and 067G. Different patterns of shades can be purchased separately here. Gas shade fitters are 4" in diameter, and the electric shade fitters measure 2 1/4" in diameter.
Please call 360-379-9030 for a shipping quote.
The fixture is measures 42" tall and can be shortened to 26" upon request. The spread is 26" with the shades shown. If you need a longer length, our 1014/18-EXT extension kit adds up to an extra 65".

Jakarta's ill-famed traffic grief to residents but boon for some
By Nicholas Owen
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Jakarta's traffic jams are a constant vexation for the city's 10 million residents. With the chaos not looking to abate anytime soon, entrepreneurial types have made it their business to help fellow commuters circumvent the world's worst gridlock.
Commuters spend three to four hours a day in their cars on Jakarta's roads, a situation which Indonesian businessman Nadiem Makarim described as a huge waste of productivity. The average speed of traffic is 8.3 km per hour (5.2 mph), slower than a runner of average fitness covering the same distance in a race.
Yet the Indonesian capital's glaring inefficiencies have also created opportunities for the likes of Makarim, who has launched a smartphone app that lets users summon a motorbike rider to weave them quickly through gridlocked traffic, deliver a meal or even get the shopping.
Since the launch of the app in January, the number of distinctive, green-jacketed drivers on its books has jumped tenfold to 10,000. The app itself has been downloaded nearly 400,000 times in six months - a national record.
"I created GO-JEK because I really needed it," Makarim told Reuters this week in Jakarta on the sidelines of the annual New Cities Summit, where over 800 CEOs, mayors, thinkers, artists and innovators met to discuss urban change.
Jakarta's congestions are one of the biggest brakes on economic growth. Officials say the traffic - adjudged recently by motor-oil firm Castrol to be the world's worst based on an analysis of stopping and starting by drivers - costs the economy about 65 trillion rupiah, or nearly $5 billion, a year.
A slump in infrastructure investment after the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s, problems freeing up land for development, turf wars between city departments, and poor planning all means Jakarta's public transport cannot cope with the numbers of people moving about the city.
The city's population is growing by 120,000 a year partly due to rural-urban migration, putting enormous pressure on already-stretched infrastructure such as transport. Continued...

I know I'm a toy and I'm gonna get shit for posting my first time painting but I really thought it came out better than I expected. Posting the landscape one just for kicks. Awesome spot with a ton of wall space, granted you're okay with getting very wet. Its under two bridges. Two seperate throwies. First one is above about 3 ft. of water. Had a tough time in the water for the first one. Second one is on dry land but I wanted to get the surroundings as well. Crits on the first one seeing as its the only one legible due to the camera angle of the second.

Regardless of any previous posts, I do not condone nor take part in the act of vandalism. I simply document the work of others.

Liking the throwie blackmath. All i'd say is work on the S, it seems a bit un-proportional compared to the rest of it. Other then that, pretty sick.
Kemone, The S is cool but a bit hard to tell it is one at first, maybe it's just me. Your hand style is definitely progressing. Keep it up.
Only Fuck Fat Bitches Crew !!
^not bad at all simple and clean the bottom of the e looks a little off coming from the little bubble but thats minor shit.

Missouri Votes to Guarantee The Right to Farm
Missourians will vote today on an amendment to the state's Constitution that would guarantee the rights of the people of Missouri to "engage in farming and ranching practices."
It's called the Right to Farm Amendment, and a coalition of state farming groups and large agricultural corporations are pushing for its passage. They believe the amendment is needed to protect farmers from too many burdensome government regulations, but opponents say it could prevent state and local government from protecting residents.
Is this a back-to-the-land movement, or a vaguely worded ploy to get around government regulations at the expense of vulnerable consumers?
Joining The Takeaway to weigh in is, Jo Mannies, a political reporter for St. Louis Public Radio.

Have you ever wondered if your home broadband is being effectively utilized? What if you could squeeze more out of your data allowance when outside your home? Telstra may have cracked this problem in Australia: It will invest more than A$100 million to build a nationwide Wi-Fi network as part of a strategy to increase connectivity in the places Australians live, work, and visit, including cafes, shops, sports grounds, and transport hubs.
The strategy aims to offer all Australians — whether or not they're Telstra customers — access to 2 million Wi-Fi hotspots across the nation within five years. Telstra home broadband customers can install new gateways that allow them to securely share a portion of their bandwidth with other Telstra Wi-Fi customers in exchange for broadband access at Telstra hotspots across the nation. Non-Telstra customers can purchase daily hotspot access. The network, scheduled to launch in early 2015, will also reach overseas; an exclusive deal recently concluded between Telstra and global Wi-Fi provider Fon will allow people to connect at more than 12 million hotspots worldwide.
What It Means
Telstra has been at the forefront of improving the telco customer experience; its CEO, David Thodey, has been a major driving force behind that. This has put Telstra's local competitors on notice and provides valuable lessons in how to raise the customer experience game:

My recent report, "Driving Toward Communications Sourcing Excellence," looks behind the scenes to find out why Formula One (F1) sourcing professionals enjoy such a great customer experience from their network providers. It's a two-way street: Providers ensure that the F1 team's network is reliable, always available, and delivers peak performance when needed, and F1 sourcing pros provide the guidance, insight, and support to make sure providers know what teams need. This is as much a concern for CIOs as it is for sourcing pros in their quest to win, serve, and retain customers.
Matt Cadieux, the CIO of Infiniti Red Bull Racing, said, "AT&T has a dedicated F1 account team that I meet for regular account reviews to discuss our requirements and plans. In the rare event of a problem, we also have excellent relationships with AT&T's top executives. AT&T has consistently delivered projects when required; for example, in 2014 it provisioned new access networks in England and France and at racetracks around the world. These circuits have been fully operational — we show up and they just work."
My colleague Tracy Stokes believes that a consistent customer experience builds a trusted brand, and I couldn't agree more. It also leads to:

"The future is already here — it's just not evenly distributed." This popular quote hit home at the Global Mobile Internet Conference panel on meeting the challenge of global connectivity that I moderated this week.

i'm into the darker side of art. i'm not going to go as far as to label myself "goth" "vamp" or "emo", but i do enjoy the styles.
my hair color and style changes quite frequently. it's a small joy of mine. i also have a few piercings, and i'm planning to get more.

Sounds to me that cause could be you're limp wristing. You really need to make sure you've got a firm grip and your wrist is tight.
The XD wants you to love it and hold it tight. I know mine does.
Hello everyone, Im fairly new to the gun scene. I just purchased a brand new xd40 sub compact. I did research for weeks and finally decided on this gun mainly because of its size and reliability and nothing but good feedback from buyers. I used winchester brand 40 bullets and the first 10 went smooth then on my second mag the gun jammed once and then the third mag it jammed twice!!! it seemed every other mad of round the damn thing would jam once or twice???? WTF could be wrong with it, my berretta px4 storm never did this using the same ammo. Please tell me this is normal and it just needs to be broken in more or cleaned or something
Sounds to me that cause could be you're limp wristing. You really need to make sure you've got a firm grip and your wrist is tight.
The XD wants you to love it and hold it tight. I know mine does.
What Todd said plus:
Yes you should clean it thoroughly including the magazines. Break the mags down and run a rag thru them just in case there is some debri present.
Many people never clean their mag's and may find at the moment of truth they should have. IMHO
I had an XD40 Tactical that processed in excess of 4000 rounds without a jam. They are very good pistols.
Good luck.
Ok i just found out that i might have been shooting the gun wrong, Like you mentoned.... i like to shoot with my elbows not- locked with a relaxed grip and the dealer told me that will make a gun jam easily???? is this true? and if it is true then why hasnt this happened with any other handguns that ive shot??? after cleaning the gun and taking it back to the dealer they test fired it a few times and found nothing wrong with it. they told me that maybe its just one of the mags and go shoot again and pay attention to which magazine is loaded when the the slide lock occurs. i will try that i guess, what do you guys think?
blackie: Sir; I'm guessing, your definition and limp wristing definition aren't the same. The concept, elbows bent while in the firing mode. OK. What it is supposed to be.
Limp wrist phenomenon: "relative to hand wrist relaxation."
XD's, Glocks, and other of this generation "suffer" from said malady.
Why? units are lightweight, recoil manageable; thereby; NOT constrictive; to hanging onto a weighted chunk.
Easy to fix;
Hold unit firmly in hand or hands {not a death grip}
Bent elbows or otherwise is ok. [responsible shooting stance preferred]
Firing with firm grip should alleviate most of what; I perceive to be jams.
follow up after next shoot.
I was trying different grips today w/ my XD 45 Service, trying to shoot tigher groups at 10yds.
With a very soft relaxed grip, letting the gun "rotate" in my hand like a revolver or compound bow... on rare occassion (twice in about 100 rds) it will eject, but stay open w/ a round still in the magazine. Jamming the slide release with my thumb solved the problem quickly, but it still hung.
But with a high and hard grip... No failures.
Grip it high, grip it tight, push it away hard at the target with the web of the trigger hand, and pull back hard with bottom fingers of the off hand... (Watch a few Todd Jarret videos) The gun shoots ragged holes, and snaps right back to the bullseye instantly for quick follow-ups... No hangs, no failures. 10 rounds in about 5-6 seconds, all kill-zone at 20 ft.
XDs, Glocks, etc... are not "Light touch" target pistols, like my Dad's old 22LR bullseye guns... They are fighting pistols, with the ability to shoot like a target pistol.
Drive a Ferrari around at 2000-3000 RPMs for a month, and it'll balk like donkey. Wind it out to 6000-8000 RPMs on a regular basis... it'll run like a thoroughbred...
Shoot it like your life depends on it... You won't be soft-handing an XD or Glock when your life is on the line...
My experience. My two cents.
limp wristing can be fixed by masturbating five times a day. Start off slow than go to rapid fire mode. Make sure you Johnson is pointed down range and wear safety glass just in case. This worked for me. Have no idea how to help a women with this problem but if you have a problem with you trigger finger, I have the cure.
Went to the range this weekend with the wife and this "jam" you're talking about happened to me with my Glock 23. This is probably only the second time in the 8 years I've owned this gun that the slide locked open with two rounds left in the magazine. It happened towards the end of the day when I was getting tired and lazy and not using proper form. So, I think JeffWard is right on target with his response.
stormbringerr: Sir; thank you very much

Thats a decent price but you really need to be considering a better buy if you plan to resell. If your keeping it and are not in the business making large knockouts in commercial and industrial panels you would be paying a lot for half a set of knockouts that you will never use. Anything over 2" is rarely used by residential wiremen.
Interesting Ialmostfixedit. Here's a post you made earlier, listing the same item for sale, in violation of the site rules. A warning was sent, but not heeded. The honesty being exhibited is overwhelming.

Best All Weather tire for GC QTII
I got a 2008 GC Overland with the 5.7 and QTII this summer.
I have Cooper Discoverer AT3 on all my other Jeeps and love them. I get 50 to 60K out of each set.
I travel Montana and Wyoming so I need a good tire.
Trouble is Cooper doesn't make the Discoverer AT3 in 245/60R 18 (the size my Jeep Overland has.)
Cooper does have the Discoverer CTS in that size, but it's more of a highway tire. (I don't go off road) so I'm thinking the CTS. It has a 70K warranty.
The AT3 really is a better winter tread. But they say the CTS is REALLY quiet and is ok in the snow.
So are there tires out there that have a tread like the AT3? Will the Discoverer CTS be a good time for my car on the snow covered roads of Mt. and Wyoming.
Anyone out there running Discoverer CTS or AT3? or anything else? I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks is advance. CK
Re: Best All Weather tire for GC QTII
I have a 2010 Laredo and all I can tell you is the Goodyear Silent Armor has been a VERY good tire for me. I have put over 53K on them and can probably get another 30K out of them safely.
I do travel off road quite a bit and tons of highway driving. I'm in Minnesota so we see it all. Torrential rains, glare ice, deep snow, super hot and super cold.
I've been very pleased with the performance and longevity of this tire. I feel its only fault is that it doesn't look that aggressive from the sidewall perspective even though the tread is very good.
Re: Best All Weather tire for GC QTII
i like the bfg rugged terrain
Re: Best All Weather tire for GC QTII
In your size: cooper weather masterwinter tire
Or you could look for a set of 17" rims from a wk jeep. Lots of tire options for the 17's.
Re: Best All Weather tire for GC QTII
I put the CTS's on our Overland in October. I like them and they should do good in the snow. Go look at them in person, lots of sipes and grooves, and the corners of the tread blocks are stepped away from the following ones. They are quiet and great in the rain. Haven't had any snow yet to try them out.
Re: Best All Weather tire for GC QTII
goodyear silent armors- I have 60+K on them and I can probably get another 15-20. I drive on and off road. No issues. Great in all terrain/weather. Surprisingly quiet.
Re: Best All Weather tire for GC QTII
ran the silent armors and liked them. the rugged terrains are cheaper, the dynapros are cheaper too and a nice aggressive tire too.

Post subject: darren for nguyen and 20th pick or woodson?
if we made the trade with dallas sending darren for dat nguyen and the 20th pick. with the 16th and 20th could we trade up for derrick johnson despite the fact we got dat? is dat better than watson or james allen? derrick johnson is better without question. so if that's available we gotta go for it. what about trading for woodson instead? i like the way fakhir played (chasing down randy moss and hurting him for a few games for instance) and woodson may be more trouble than he's worth. dwight replacing sucky tebucky will help a lot. the tackles are the question on defense. will sully keep sucking? young and green may be the answer there. offensively we should be fine if aaron can keep cool and hand the ball to deuce effectively. we do need to draft a center and move bentley back to gaurd though. wilkerson or chris spencer. if we can grab em' at 40 that would be great. should help a lot. i'm not sure about giving up on boo just yet tho. hope they don't do that. i think that dev or beer man will step in for pathon fine and dante' should have his best year yet. the scariest thing of all is that everything is on brooks shoulders. hope he handles it well. but can't help but feel like it's too much for him. i think other quaterbacks would break records with our receivers on the fast surface of the dome. we have more speed than st. louis had a few years ago. if we had a guy that could hit em' in stride like warner did. whose catching dante', beerman, and dev? brooks doesn't have the accuracy. it was really evident after watching the rookie wide receiver drills before the pro bowl. he was throwing behind all of them really bad. opinions anyone?

Looks like the trade is gonna go through -
DE DARREN HOWARD for:
I love it !!! We'll get a solid inside LB w/ that pick or we could draft the likes of CB Cory Webster, QB/WR/TE Matt Jones, OT Adam Terry, C Ben Wilkersen, or K Mike Nugent (always thinking 'bout the future!)

Just the fact that the Saints are getting anything for Darren is amazing to me- we almost just let him go, but opted to tag him and hope some desperate team would value him (low and behold!)
The Howard deal isn't final, but it will be- whether it's Dallas or Minnesota or Oakland... it'll get done. (and we'll still have the best DE tandem in the league- Charles Grant and Will Smith "gettin' jiggy wit it!" )

if the cowboys were the only team in the mix...then the coboys would have the upper hand. BUT THEY AREN"T THE ONLY TEAM IN THE MIX. there are at least three other teams who are serious about getting Howard. So if you want to pull this Howard for a 2nd rounder BS...then step aside and enjoy another year of having no pass rush.

IMO I think Benson got exactly want we needed. He shopped Howard around. Let Howard realize his exact worth. Now is time to close all this craziness.
Keep Howard and use all this new understanding to resign for a long contract and restructure.
Why give away Howard to Dallas? That is stupid. We have 3 great players for 2 positions. What's wrong with that? Especially with the position. Injuries can happen to the best DE, it is just part of the position.
It would have been nice to get DAT and it would have been nice to get a 1st rounder and free up some cap, but neither happened so let's not shot ourselves in the foot. We have addressed enough needs in free agency. Let's trade off Tebucky and Williams and get some more late round selections or maybe package those with other late round selections to a team that just needs alot of picks who might be willing to give up a 2nd round pick.

Mazda Autos of Great Neck
5 Lifetime Reviews250 Northern Blvd., Great Neck, New York 11021 Directions Directions
Is this your dealership?
...and take advantage of all we have to offer with our Certified Dealership Program.
5 Reviews of Mazda Autos of Great Neck
"Terrible experience. It took me 6 months to get my..."- LoriF
Terrible experience. It took me 6 months to get my permanent registration because the owner of the dealership was having a fight with the dealership's supplier, and the papers needed to process my registration were being witheld. Corporate headquarters would not get involved. The dealer kept issuing me temp registrations to put in my windshield, which actually was illegal. I finally had to file a complaint against the dealership with the DMV, who advised me that there were other customers who had the same problem. They intervened and I finally received my registration, but it was a big hassel. No one from the dealership ever apologized. They also never let me know why it was taking so long until I finally went there in person and made a fuss about not having received it. FYI, the owner of the dealership had another dealership where the same thing happened and it's since gone out of business.Read More
"Sold me a 2004 Mazda B4000 that had previously been..."- BBD69
Sold me a 2004 Mazda B4000 that had previously been involved in an accident while on their lot. The vehicle only had 300 miles on it when purchased. They said it was because the vehicle was sent out to Riverhead for a supposed sale that never went through and then back to Great Neck. I found out about the damage after I went to have the truck detailed and my loyal and trustworthy detailer found evidence of "bondo" on my new truck. (Note the vehicle is a 2004 which was purchased in October of 2005.). After fighting with them constantly they fix and repaint the entire side of my truck. I get a phone call from the Mitusbishi part of the dealership about a pre-approved offer on a mitsubishi. At this point I want out of the truck because it was previously hit and I did not want a truck that was sold to me under false pretenses. I go in and fill out a credit application. They never get back in touch with me. I call and call... you can never get anyone on the phone. Mind you this dealership is a small dealership and probably on their best day sells 3 cars a day. Finally I get a salesmanager who tells me that they have changed people and that my application is no where to be found. Meanwhile, I check my credit report and they did run my vin#. They are frauds and liars. DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM. THEY ARE DISHONEST AND NOT WORTH SPENDING ANYTIME WITH.Read More
"I did not got the car there. First 2-3 times of visit it..."- chickon
I did not got the car there. First 2-3 times of visit it was ok, but as Im getting more and more minor problems, they starting to get annoyed, gave me the *look*. Asked me a few times to do all these 20K/25K/30K miles service but I was like sorry I do my own service in my own garage. Did I mention that their 30K service is like what 500 bucks? Any idea how much service I can do myself with those money? They have no idea how to fix cars, they just follow whatever the shop manual saids, why ? cuz finally theres a CEL, they have no idea how to fix it and in the work shop manual saids they might have to unload the engine to fix it. wow, they're getting piss. then they start giving me loads of bullshit like oh you have aftermarket parts and we will void your warranty. Sure assholes, do you guys even know the law? you cant void warranty just because you have aftermarket parts installed. then I called Mazda (and a friend of mine who works in a Mazda Dealership in Virginia), both told me my warranty is here. and I fixed the CEL myself with just 15 minutes of my own time. do NOT go to this piece of shit place for any service.Read More
"They hassle you all the way. Tom was an exceptional..."- Jong81
They hassle you all the way. Tom was an exceptional salesperson. At least he gave the normal line of bullshit. Then when you get the car, your hassled by Dolores who pressures you to get all this crap you don't need. Then when you go for service, they lie to you all over the place. This was my first new car, and the experience sucked!Read More
"The people in service are always helpful and courteous..."- longislander1
The people in service are always helpful and courteous and I would like to be able to give higher marks to this dealership. However, when you ask for routine maintenance, this dealership doesn't follow the factory recommended schedule, but substitutes its own "menu" which contains a host of unnecessary and unwanted items that are not even recommended by the manufacturer. They offer "free" oil changes, "discounts" off service pricing and "free" loaners. Then, when you go to pay, you get a huge bill that is far beyond what service for these cars should cost. I also don't believe they spend the number of hours servicing the car that's specificed on the service invoice. These deceptive practices have really soured me on what should have been a very positive sales, service and ownership experience. As a result, I'm not sure I'll go back to them for any reason.Read More

Good question, as usual with your scenarios.
The guy with the trash can lid was armed, with the lid, an item used or could be used as a dangerous weapon even though not a dangerous weapon per se like a knife or gun.
For an unarmed suspect, we had better be really careful what we do and how we do it because of disparity of force.
For instance, an unarmed man comes at you, wants a fistfight, you cannot just shoot him. Maybe he would be able to kill you, maybe he is armed, but right now when you shoot, you don't know any of that. Neither do we have to wait until we are dead ourselves. There is a fine line somewhere and it depends on the fact scenario presented. There are a couple of major rules and regs about it but they do not cover every conceivable scenario. Plus although self defense is mostly the same everywhere, your state may differ from others.
On the other hand, we cannot assume that an unarmed man knows the martial arts that can kill, either. We cannot say oh officer I shot him because I have heard that guys who know these arts can be deadly. You do not know this unarmed guy, so we cannot project what he may or may not do or what he is capable of.
We have to go beyond possibilities and guesswork. And it is not just if we feel our life in danger. We need a reasonable fear that we are about to experience death or severe bodily injury.
My general rule of thumb would be to never draw and fire unless you HAD to do it to save your life or the life of another. But even then, there are plenty of gray areas.
There are so many scenarios. Suppose you knew that a certain guy did have extensive training in the deadly martial arts and this particular guy is the one who says hey I am going to kill you and you know he can and will and he goes into a stance etc then that is a lot different from a guy who says hey let's fight and you say well I thought he might possibly know that martial arts stuff and so did not want to take any chances.
The various scenarios are what we must focus on. The general rules cover it but not all of it.
Reading that archived post, it seems clear to me that we cannot avoid a normal fistfight by shooting someone.
In that specific archived post you gave us the link to, it is clear to me that the guy with the gun would have been charged had he pulled his gun out and fired, when the other guy was delivering a punch. That is disparity of force.
A fist vs a gun?
A stick vs a gun?
A baseball bat vs a gun?
A knife vs a gun?
Now what you have is increasing force being used against you, and so the correctness of using your gun becomes greater and greater. If you have knowledge that something else is operating, though, like the guy swings at you but puts his hand on a knife and it is still in a sheath and he opens it and now has it in his hand, his chances of continuing to live have just plummetted.
What force is necessary to repel my attacker? Use just that force necessary, and no more. If you use more, YOU become the aggressor and thereby lose the right of self-defense because you exceeded the lawful bounds of self-defense. Self defense is not unlimited.

I wasn't born with "great" lashes. I do have big brown eyes (that definitely helps call attention to things), but my lashes are naturally pretty average. I've tried false lashes, but I don't have time for that every day, and I want that big eye and tons of lashes look every day. So, I've collected a huge number of mascara tips to help me achieve this look!
There really isn't a "best mascara" for great lashes. Instead, there are a bunch of mascaras that produce long and lush eye lashes, but when combined with great mascara application tips... yes, then you get the results that have people asking you for which mascara you are wearing over avocados.
1. I should start off by saying that you don't actually need 1 formula. You need two. Two good mascaras. Unless I'm doing product testing, I always layer two mascaras. If you have short lashes, you could use a lengthening or even fiber mascara. If you have thin lashes, go for volume. Combine a volume and a lengthening mascara. (I just don't recommend using a "tube" mascara when layering.) Something seems to happen when you use 2 mascaras together, and I swear the results are much better, they synergize.
2. Consider the brush! This makes as much of an impact on your mascara as the mascara formula. A typical nylon brush can lead to clumping. If the bristles are particularly close it can be almost impossible to get product on to the lashes. I like to make sure that at least one of my mascaras has a molded plastic brush, which helps me to pull my lashes apart easily. I use that as my top mascara. My preferred mascara for this is CoverGirl's LashBlast Fusion.
3. Pick the correct shade. A lot of people say you should wear brown for every day, and black for "good". This is stupid to me, mostly because I have black lashes. When I wear brown, it looks strange. It's obvious. If you have black lashes (like me) you should only wear black. Maybe black-brown if it is a very dark formula. If you have blond lashes, you should wear brown. Black will look harsh, save it for special occasions or a smoky eye. All of those other "fun" shades, like plum, navy, etc? They are fun but can be hard to pull off correctly, use at your own risk. I don't use them every day and I don't think they really have a place in the workplace unless they're almost black/brown and very subtle.
4. Need a waterproof formula? There are some great ones out there, but keep in mind that they are often hard to remove. Consider using a waterproofing topcoat such as Anastasia's Lash Genius, which waterproofs but is much easier to get off before bed.
5. If you are wearing mascara, you definitely need to use a curler. The 30 seconds you take to curl your lashes will be well worth the effort. There are a ton of curlers on the market, and you don't need to spend a lot. Look for one that has a hard pad, if it is too soft instead of curling the lash you'll get a bend. A bend is bad. Look for hard. There are also some brands that sell replacement pads, make sure you buy one of those. Or you'll have to keep replacing the entire thing. I use a Tweezerman curler, in case you're curious.
6. Heat: Yes, you can heat up your curler. I recommend only doing this if you have a really hard time getting your lashes to curl, or if the curl goes away quickly despite using a curling mascara. Just a quick burst of "hot" from your blow dryer is all you need. Seriously, no one wants burns on their lids.
7. More about heat: All of those "amazing heating lash curlers"? Yeah, none of them work. Either they aren't hot enough, they are way too hot, or they don't even curl. I've tried pretty much every one possible, I gave up about a year ago. Waste of money. If you know of one that works, let me know! (Oh, and that nonsense about applying your mascara against a spoon? Have you heard this? It does not work.)
8. When curling your lashes, the goal is to have them curl gently upwards, basically making a pretty fringe. You do not want a bend in your lash, and they shouldn't be sticking up as close to your lid as possible. (To the girl that works at VS at the mall down the street- stop doing this. I can't look at you. It looks crazy, not like you have amazing lashes. Go see Amanda at Sephora, she can help you. Until then, I'm buying my unmentionables on-line.)
9. Everyone curls a little differently, and you'll need to experiment with what works best for you. I like to curl as close to the base of my lashes as I can (without it hurting), and I kind of pulse the curler really tight about 5 times, then switch the other side. If I need to, I might repeat this again as close to the base as possible. Then I'll repeat (yes, again) about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way out the lashes. That's it. I don't keep walking it out, you could seriously do this for forever.
10. While I've tried the next curling trick, I've had varied results. I know girls that swear by it. When curling near the base, pull out your hands and tip the curler a bit. You can see I'm trying to take a pic of this above, but for some reason I kept trying to peer at the camera. You get the idea. Don't do this too close to the base, it will hurt and might pull out lashes!
11. What is lining doing here?? A little liner worked into the lash base can go a loooong way towards making your lashes look full. Really. Some will go to the lengths of tightlining. I think it depends on the person, but for me, this isn't really necessary. Instead I use my liner really jammed into my lash line, and I wiggle the pencil/brush (if I'm using gel) in between the lashes. I do tightline if using a liquid, since I can't get the pen down in between the lashes. However you do it, you want to fill in the spots between each individual eye lash. This will make your lashes look much thicker.
12. You should line your eyes after you curl your lashes. Why? The curler can smudge your hard work. Enough said.
13. Remember back when I was talking about choosing the color of your mascara, and I have pretty definitive ideas? Here's where fun with color comes in. I'd use only brown or black to do the tightlining, deep in your lash roots, but feel free to use any color you want over that or on your lower lid.
14. Now that you finally can open up that mascara wand and apply it, you'll need to actually pause for a second and look at the wand. Do you see a big wad of product somewhere? Is there so much glopped onto the wand that you can't even see the bristles in a few locations? Grab a kleenex and wipe off the wand before you use it. This will make a huge difference, think Tammy Faye vs. lashes worthy of Pinterest.
15. When you are finally ready to get the wand up to your eyes, you'll need to get it as close to the lash base as possible. Once there, slowly pull it up and wiggle a little back and forth to apply product onto your lashes. Keep going. And going.
16. Once I've applied a lot of my first mascara, I reach for my second right away. I don't wait for things to dry off in between, I just go right for it. Layer it on.
18. If you have blonde lashes, it is especially important to make sure your entire lash is covered. I know someone who doesn't start her mascara until about halfway down the lash, it looks strange. If you forget the top of the lash as well, it can look odd. I would apply the mascara to the top of the lashes first and then apply as usual, but try to ensure that every bit of lash is covered.
19. If you are using a fiber mascara (like Fiberwig) you'll need to apply the fiber mascara first. You'll need to apply it correctly as well. Just go and read the post at Clumps of Mascara about how to apply fiber mascara. Trust me, your lashes will thank you for it.
20. Somehow, this is a bit of a controversial topic. Many think you should never put mascara on the lower lashes because when it smudges (which it does if you rub your eyes, pretty much no matter what formula you used), it will settle into any wrinkles, make you look tired, etc. But, putting a little mascara on those lashes really can make your eye makeup look much more complete. The key with mascara here is concentrating on the base of the lashes. I like to keep all of the mascara there, maybe about 2-3 mm out from the base, I'll actually wipe off mascara that gets on the ends of these lashes. Since it is the end of the lashes that cause most of the issues (and mostly look spidery), this works great.
21. The easiest way to apply mascara to your lower lashes: I'll put my mascara wand at the base of my lashes, just barely wiggle it back and forth, and that's it. If I can't do it for some reason, grabbing a lip brush, taking a bit of mascara of of the wand, and then using that brush seems to work better.
22. This isn't likely something you've thought about much, but it is really important to remove all of that carefully applied eye makeup each night. Not only does it build up (and make you look old with the residue), but it can clog pores. You don't want that in your eye lashes, a Chalazion is rather painful!
23. I have the best results with an oil based remover like Lancome's BiFacil or Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Eye Make Up Removal Lotion (which is pictured above, but the label always seems to peel off). I also love "Take it Off" by Hard Candy.
24. A few years ago there was actually a thread on Makeup Alley about my lashes (one girl said she didn't trust my mascara reviews because my lashes "aren't that great", I would that that's someone who knows more about mascara than a girl with super long lashes already??) The truth is, even back then I was getting eye lash comments. I just get more questions about them now. Why? Because I use an eye lash conditioner and they are definitely longer and thicker.
I use an eye lash conditioner called Revitalash, which I originally got for review and have repurchased faithfully every 6 months since that time. Which means I've bought it... 3 times? I think? At $120 a pop, that's quite the investment! It's available over the counter, and it does contain a prostaglandin analogue, which is similar to the active ingredient in Latisse but isn't the same. It is currently (as I type this, anyways) unavailable in the US due to a lawsuit by the makers of Latisse. They want Revitalash to be prescription also, so Revitalash has pulled itself from the market while that gets sorted out. Which means I need to find something else to use pronto! I'm thinking about trying out LiLash, but let me know if you have a product you like!
If you do want to go the Latisse route, make sure you do so only with a physician's assistance and do NOT buy it online. Much of the Latisse available is through sketchy sites and isn't real. Fake Latisse likely means lashes that don't grow!
25. Getting ready to head out, and your lashes just... wilted? I definitely know the feeling! The best way to refresh them is to use a spooly brush (I found a few sample sized ones pretty cheap at a beauty supply, I'm sure you could get them off eBay), dip the spooly into either eye makeup remover or water, depending on which works best for you (I'm a water girl), and run the brush through your lashes. It will help to "reset" your current mascara! I also like to grab a mascara with plastic bristles (my favorite LashBlast Fusion works great for this), and apply a little extra mascara on top. Good as new!
Do you have any eye lash tips that I've missed here? Let me know!

Church Fund to Help Flood-Affected Farmers
Rural church and agricultural bodies have united to bring much-needed assistance to farmers whose lands and crops have been badly damaged by the June floods.
Rural church and agricultural bodies have united to bring much-needed assistance to farmers whose lands and crops have been badly damaged by the June floods.
The ARC-Addington Fund will administer vital financial assistance in light of the continuing severe weather across South Yorkshire and Hull.
The fund was established by the Arthur Rank Centre, the churches' rural resources centre, and remains a major part of the churches' response to the issues facing the agricultural community.
The assistance is part of a response to the flooding from the Farming Help Partnership, which brings together the three national charities working in the farming community - ARC-Addington Fund, Farm Crisis Network and the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution.
"By the time we realise the full impact of the flooding the headlines and the water will be long gone," says Ian Bell, Director of the ARC-Addington Fund.
The fund will provide a package of pastoral support and hardship payments to any farmers who have been adversely affected by the recent floods. This includes those who have had to bring in stock and are unable to cover feed costs, and soft fruit producers who have lost income because their crop has been destroyed.
Mr Bell said: "While cash is a necessary and immediate relief, the value of the pastoral support during difficult times can never be underestimated."
The fund was originally set up in response to the Foot and Mouth Disease in 2001. The ARC warned that there were only limited funds available to commence the latest emergency fund and that more support is needed to cope with the scale of the problem.
Farmers can ring 07002 326 326 for more information.
Anyone wishing to support this initiative can send payments by cheque or credit card by contacting the ARC-Addington Fund on 024 7669 0587.
