I've never been much of a makeup person. I especially don't like the feeling of too much stuff on my skin. But I realized something today that somewhat grossed me out. I've had the same blush for almost 10 years.
I didn't wear blush until my early 30s. Until then, I stuck to mascara, lipstick, powder, and maybe some eyeliner and shadow for special occasions. But then I noticed how pale I looked in photos, so I thought it was time to get some color on my face.
I went to the Bobbi Brown counter in Fresno, picked out a pretty pink powder blush, and bought some brushes. I've used it sparingly, for church and special occasions. And now, quite literally almost a decade later, that blush container is almost empty. Which leads me to two thoughts:
1) Time to buy new blush.
2) I probably should have thrown this blush out eight years ago. I can't think about the possibility of how many germs are in there after so long.
Please grab your makeup bag or whatever you keep your cosmetics in and dump it out onto a clean countertop. Spread everything out and toss anything that's broken, dirty, or just plain nasty. If it's unopened, it's safe to keep. But once they're exposed to air, ingredients will lose their color or staying power.
|I know, I know - more pens than makeup.
Here's the shelf life of different types of makeup:
- 2 Months: Mascara
- 6-9 Months: Moisturizer with SPF; Liquid Eyeliner; BB Cream
- 1 Year: Foundation; Moisturizer without SPF; Concealer; Cream Blush; Eye Pencils; Lip Liners; Color Sticks/Stain
- 12-18 Months: Lipstick; Powder; Bronzer; Eye Shadow
- 2 Years: Nail Polish
OK, I'm getting off my shoebox now.

Cloud 9
Cannes Film Festival Directors Fortnight
The 30-year itch proves to be pretty much like the seven-year version in German director Andreas Dresen's "Cloud 9," a cautionary tale about infidelity that suggests the temptations and pleasures are the same but so may be the consequences.
Treating love among old folks just the way most films deal with the youthful variety, the film may attract older moviegoers curious to see their generation represented onscreen doing what comes naturally for once. It's doubtful that the general audience will be so inclined.
Dresen has his geriatric cast get naked and down to the hanky-panky right away as 60-ish seamstress Inge (Ursula Werner) finds herself all breathless and flustered when 76-year-old Karl (Horst Westphal) tries on the pants she's just altered for him.
It's not that she has fallen out of love with Werner (Horst Rehberg) after 30 years of marriage. It's just that poor old Werner, who likes to listen to recordings of locomotives and go for train rides, is a bit set in his ways. Karl likes riding his bicycle in the countryside, not to mention a bit of monkey business with another man's wife.
It's all good fun for a bit but, as many have learned, the piper must be paid.

When applying for a home loan, a term you'll hear often is "underwriter." The title may not sound imposing, but an underwriter can determine whether your mortgage gets approved, suspended, or declined. Underwriters work for banks, lenders and mortgage bankers. And thought you'll never see or meet the underwriter, it's important to have all your bases covered and paperwork in order to get your loan approved.
How does an underwriter determine the outcome of an application?
Simply put, the underwriter looks at the "three C's" - credit reputation, capacity and collateral.
Credit reputation is your past credit history, including any foreclosures, bankruptcies, and your willingness to pay debts. Usually these discrepancies will be reflected in your three-digit credit score, which may eliminate you from a mortgage loan automatically, if your number is lower than a certain threshold.
Capacity reflects your actual ability to repay a loan. This is where debt-to-income ratio come in to play. It also takes in to account the terms of the loan, whether it's interest-only, or adjustable- or fixed-rate. The underwriter wants to know you'll be able to repay the loan before granting approval.
Collateral refers more cut-and-dry figures, such as the down payment on the home, property type, and loan-to-value ratio. Because the home becomes property of the lender if you can't make your mortgage payments, the underwriter needs to know exactly what the worth is of the home being purchased.
The "three C's" aren't the only thing an underwriter looks at. They'll also verify your employment and salary information, and review the appraisal of the home to ensure accuracy and thoroughness. It's the underwriter's responsibility to make sure all tax, title, insurance and closing documentation is in place.
The underwriter has final approval of your loan, because they ultimately have responsibility for it. If an underwriter approves a loan that the buyer can't pay, it can result in large costs to the lender. Working with a trusted lender can help the underwriting process move smoothly and get you the mortgage you need for your next home.

Eyelid Surgery Jackson MS
Our double board certified facial plastic surgeons, Dr. J. Randall Jordan and Dr. J. George Smith, perform Blepharoplasty procedures for the residents of Jackson and surrounding communities in Mississippi.
Sagging skin of the upper eyelids and bags beneath the lower eyelids probably contribute more to the "tired" appearance than any other factor. This very commonly performed operation can bring back a refreshed, livelier look to the central part of the face. The bags under the eye are actually fat herniations. This is usually an inherited condition, and can occur relatively early in life. Some people experience periodic swelling of the lids due to allergy or medical conditions. Surgery will generally not help this.
Two factors account for the excess skin of the upper lids. The eyebrows are generally the first part of the face to sag, and their downward drift contributes to the excess skin of the upper lids. Actual excess skin does accumulate due to the effects of gravity and reduced skin elasticity. This can become significant enough to droop over the eyelashes and cause obstruction of the visual field. In instances such as this, health insurance plans may help with the costs of surgery.
In most instances, upper and lower eyelid problems are corrected at the same time, but either can be performed alone. Patients undergoing the facelift procedure will often times be good candidates for eyelid surgery as well. Persons contemplating facelift surgery should consider the eyelid surgery as well.
Blepharoplasty procedure
"Twilight anesthesia" is usually sufficient for the procedure, and the patient is discharged home after recovering. The surgery is performed by making an incision along the skin crease of the upper eyelid, and then excising excess skin. Any prominent fat bulges are also removed at this time, but this is a lesser problem than in the lower eyelid. The skin is then sutured with dissolving sutures.
The lower lids can be handled in two ways. In most individuals, the incision is made in a skin crease below the lower eyelashes. The fat bulges are then removed and any excess skin is excised. Suturing is again with dissolving sutures. In some, mainly younger, individuals, the main problem is fat bulges and not excess skin. These patients may be candidates for "incisionless" eyelid surgery. This is where the fat is approached from the inside surface of the eyelid, and no incision is made on the outside skin.
Mention here should be made about the wrinkles and "crow's feet" around the eyelids. Both of these will be helped somewhat by the surgery, but neither will be completely removed. In addition, it is impossible to eradicate wrinkles that appear with smiling and laughter. The treatment for crow's feet and fine wrinkling is a chemical peel, and this will be discussed at the consultation.
Blepharoplasty recovery
The first evening should be spent in bed with the head elevated. Ice cold compresses will be used to reduce swelling for the first three days. The patient can be up and about the next day, but with only a light activity level. Discomfort is minimal with this procedure. The vision will be slightly blurred for several days, and therefore, driving a car or other activity requiring good vision is prohibited for ten days. The incisions must be cleaned with Hydrogen Peroxide and Q-tips on a regular basis.
The eyelids will be swollen and bruised for seven to ten days, but will usually be easily covered with make-up at eight days. Oversized sunglasses will disguise the area quite well. In general, the incisions heal very rapidly, and are nearly invisible in three to four weeks. Most patients can go back to work at ten days. Contact lenses cannot be worn for ten days, and the eyebrows and lashes must not be tweezed for the same period.
possible Blepharoplasty complications?
The procedure is usually very well tolerated and safe. Patients with pre-existing eye problems should inform the physician at the time of the initial consult. An examination by an eye specialist is recommended for all patients prior to surgery. Those patients with existing dry eyes will often find that this condition is worsened after eyelid surgery. This is usually temporary and readily treated with medications. Bleeding around the eyeball itself is very rare but potentially damaging to the vision, and for this reason, Aspirin containing medicines must not be taken for two weeks prior to surgery. Any medications that you are taking must be reported to the physician at the time of the consultation. As long as instructions are followed, the healing period is usually very short and problem free.

How much oil was lost in the gulf?
Dear Control Engineering: Please help me understand how much oil was spilled in the Gulf of Mexico.
We'll never know exactly how much oil was released from the blown-out Deepwater Horizon well over the past few months, but it is safe to say that it was the largest oil spill ever. One estimate that seems to be gaining acceptance is that roughly 5 million barrels (206 million gallons) were spewed into the gulf. How can you get a grip on that number?
If you were to dig a pit 100 ft. wide and 100 ft. deep, it would need to be about 2,750 feet long to contain that volume.
OK, maybe such an example isn't very easy to visualize, but it suggests we're dealing with a large volume. Let's try to put it in a statistical context using some other oil-related numbers provided by the U.S. Department of Energy compiled from 2008 data:
U.S. crude oil production, 4.95 million barrels/day;
U.S. petroleum consumption, 19.5 million barrels/day;
Texas' aggregate refining capacity, 4.7 million barrels/day; and
Total world petroleum production/consumption, 85.5 million barrels/day (The two numbers are almost identical.)
So, the spill was about one day's worth of U.S. oil production, and one-quarter of a day's consumption. Will anyone notice that?

No retirement account, no problem: The Obama administration has launched a program for some individuals to create an after-tax individual retirement account.
The program, My Retirement Account or myRA, was made available as a type of Roth IRA applied for through the federal government on Nov. 4. Eligible participants must have taxable income; single taxpayers must earn less than $131,000 per year; and married couples filing jointly must earn less than $193,000 per year. For 2015, myRA participants can contribute up to $5,500 per year or $6,500 per year for those 50 or older.
The Treasury Department developed the framework for the program, including creating a new Treasury savings bond to serve as the underlying investment for the accounts, as well as designating a financial agent to help Treasury administer the accounts and set up a simple way for savers to fund their accounts through their employers, the department said.
As for MyRA limitations, a participant's account must be transferred to a private sector Roth IRA in the event that an employee's account reaches the maximum allowable amount of $15,000 or reaches the maximum longevity limit of 30 years (even with a balance of less than $15,000).
Under most circumstances, employees can at any time withdraw, transfer, or roll over myRA funds into a private sector Roth IRA without paying taxes or penalties.
According to a Treasury factsheet, employees who invest through myRAs are not subject to risks of losing money, since myRA funds are invested only in guaranteed U.S. Treasury securities (myRA-A New Retirement Savings Account).
Some myRA features that may be especially attractive to employees who previously have avoided retirement savings participation are that there are no costs or fees for opening or maintaining accounts and no minimum contributions. MyRAs also have been designed for convenience by allowing participants to make contributions through periodic, automatic direct deposits from their employers; one-time or multiple scheduled transfers from checking or savings accounts, or transfers of all or portions of federal tax refunds.
In a Oct. 22, 2015 letter, the AARP urged Treasury to reconsider its stance mandating the transfer of myRAs to another savings vehicle once they reach the $15,000 threshold. AARP further expressed concern that forcing myRA participants to move to another savings vehicle may place them in a position where they would not reap similar financial benefits. AARP also especially felt that myRA participants age 59 ½ and over should be allowed to exceed the $15,000 limit, since they would be closer to retirement and subject to be more adversely affected from sustaining a financial loss.

|Biden In Ukraine
|On Friday, puppet masters Vice President Joe Biden and
Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria
Nuland arrived in Ukraine.
Visiting America's newest colony. Delivering marching orders. Discussing Big Lies about Russia encroaching on Ukrainian territory.
Sending troops cross border. Supplying Donbas self-defense forces with weapons and munitions.
Discussing plans for escalated conflict. All-out war. Assuring US political and military support.
Regardless of Geneva and Minsk agreements. Outrageously blaming conflict conditions on Russia and Donbas fighters.
Oligarch president Petro Poroshenko earlier vowed to crush them. Mobilizing Ukrainian forces aggressively.
Intending full-scale war. Perhaps greater than ever mass slaughter and destruction. Wanting hardline rule replacing Donbas democracy.
Fascist viciousness writ large. Planning eventual NATO membership. What Russia absolutely won't tolerate.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov weeks earlier warning against attempts to end Ukraine's non-aligned status.
Saying it'll "derail all efforts at initiating dialogue with the aim of ensuring national security," he said.
Washington made Russia a strategic adversary. Fast-tracking toward direct confrontation. Ongoing events uncomfortably similar to those preceding WW I. History has a way of repeating.
On November 19, Lavrov addressed Russia's lower house State Duma. Saying things are changing.
"(I)nternational relations are going through a transition as a new multipolar international order continues to emerge for objective reasons."
"A fundamentally different picture of the world is taking shape right before our eyes." Not easily or quickly.
"The end of one era and the start of the next is never a straightforward process, and it's usually marked by series of intense local conflicts, if not global clashes."
"We face challenges of truly historic proportions whose complexity cannot be underestimated."
"At the same time, clearly, Russia has every opportunity to consolidate its position as one of the centres of the new multipolar system, have a positive influence on the international situation, strengthen security and stability, and create favourable external conditions for the internal development of our country and sustainable economic growth - all to improve the quality of life of our citizens."
"Russia's traditionally independent policy is in synch with the times, and is becoming increasingly popular in the world and attracting a wide range of partners in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe."
"The Ukraine crisis was the result of the policy pursued by Western countries over the course of the last 25 years, whereby they sought to strengthen their own security at the expense of others and to expand the geopolitical space under their control."
"This revealed itself in successive waves of NATO enlargement despite assurances to the contrary given at the highest levels and in violation of solemn declarations to create a system of equal and indivisible security in the Euro-Atlantic zone."
"With the support of the United States and several European countries, an unconstitutional armed coup was staged in Ukraine."
"Nationalist radicals brought the country to the brink of a schism and pushed it into civil war. The chances of de-escalating the conflict have been repeatedly torpedoed by the West."
Washington bears full responsibility. Rogue EU partners share it. Fascist Kiev governance threatens regional peace and stability.
Russia won't look on passively as events of great importance occur on its border. Western countries should stop supporting Kiev's "war party," Lavrov said.
"(T)urning a blind eye to (its) flagrant human rights violations, lawlessness and war crimes."
Blaming Russia won't work, Lavrov stressed. Hard truths have a way of exposing Big Lies.
Sanctions "undermine efforts to stabilise the global economy and don't bring us any closer to resolving the Ukraine crisis."
Russia prioritizes peaceful conflict resolution. Grounded in international law. Excluding Western-style double standards and hidden agendas.
Urging other nations to operate the same way. World peace depends on it. Threatened because of Ukrainian flashpoint conditions.
Incendiary by any standard. The gravest geopolitical crisis since WW II. Fueled by Washington's rage for war.
Madness in Europe's heartland. Heightened by provocative NATO exercises. Preparing for possible war with Russia. Waged for unchallenged dominance.
Irresponsibly accusing Moscow of violating NATO airspace. Provocative drills. Big Lies. Hard truths expose them.
Numerous false reports claimed Russia invaded Ukraine. With troops and heavy weapons.
On Friday, NATO officials admitted no credible evidence proves it. According to Russia's NATO envoy Alexander Grushko:
"As far as I remember, even NATO officials themselves admit they have no credible materials confirming that Russian weaponry and military vehicles cross the border and that Russian troops are being amassed along the border with Ukraine."
It bears repeating. Claims otherwise are Big Lies. NATO turned Baltic states "into an area of some kind of military confrontation with Russia, and this is a dead-end track," said Grushko.
Russia remains concerned about NATO's eastward expansion. Encroaching on its borders. Planning Ukrainian Alliance membership. Despite claims otherwise.
"It should be clear to NATO that the deployment of a significant military force along our borders, constant drills and exercises, will undoubtedly push us into taking certain precautions," Grushko said.
Madness defines US-led NATO policy. Risking the unthinkable. James Petras explains what's going on as an " 'all-or-nothing campaign ' "
"(T)o seize all of Ukraine or, failing that, destroy the restive southeast, obliterate its population and productive capacity and engage in an all-out economic (and possibly shooting) war with Russia."
Lunacy writ large. Threatening humanity. At the same time, Russia continues going all-out for peaceful conflict resolution.
No nation works harder at it. Putin and Lavrov true peace champions. Polar opposite Obama. Neocons influencing him.
Fascists in Kiev. Chairman of the State Duma Committee on the Commonwealth of Independent States, Leonid Slutsky, calling its Verkhovana Rada governing coalition "a marionette parliament."
"(D)eclaring (an intention to join) NATO." Prospects ahead look grim. War winds head toward gale force.
Decades after WW II's end, another potential global conflict looms. With weapons making earlier ones look like toys.
On November 22, US-controlled Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty headlined "New Ukraine Coalition Agreed, Sets NATO as Priority."
Its "major goal." Pro-Western/anti-Russian coalition member parties include the Poroshenko bloc, Popular Front, Samoponich (Self-Rule), Radical Party and Batkivshchyna (Fatherland).
Their agenda includes returning Crimea to Ukraine. Poroshenko saying "Crimea is and will be Ukrainian."
Last March, Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to join Russia. An astonishing 96.77%. With an 82% turnout.
Moscow accommodated their wishes. In compliance with international law. Self-determination is a universal right.
"(B)ased on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples," according to the UN Charter, Article 1.
A fundamental human right. "Everyone entitled to all Universal Declaration of Human Rights " 'freedoms ' "
"(W)ithout distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status."
"(O)n the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty."
At the time, Obama ludicrously called Crimean self-determination a "threat to US national security."
For sure the threat of a good example. Running counter to Washington's imperial ambitions.
Other Kiev goals include joining NATO. Protecting Ukrainians living in "occupied territories."
EU membership. Permanent bases in Donbas. Investigating February 2014 Maidan (Independence Square) killings.
Whitewashing putschists direct responsibility. The way coverup suppressed their involvement in Odessa's May 2014 massacre.
Doubled military spending. Despite Ukraine's bankrupt economy. A basket case and then some. Zombie-like.
Parts of its economy in free fall. Under severe Depression conditions.
Headed for collapse without greater financial aid than already received.
Punishing Ukrainians with force-fed austerity. When government aid desperately needed.
At the same time, US-led bullying Russia continues. Threatening new sanctions. State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke saying:
"We have a broad understanding and a similar point of view with our European partners with respect to the steps Russia needs to take and the ways in which the costs to Russia should increase if they fail to abide by the agreements."
Russia alone continues going all-out for peaceful conflict resolution. Washington sabotages its best efforts.
Kiev's dirty war without mercy continues. Heading for greater conflict than earlier. Naked aggression. Putting many thousands of lives at risk.
Potentially spreading cross-border. Pitting Washington and rogue EU states against Russia. Making the unthinkable possible.

Lovely Tin
Okay, so I didn't find this beauty at the thrift store. Someone had already found it and placed it in one of my favorite vintage shops in town. I don't normally buy tins at 'retail' prices, but I had to have this one. Of course, now that I have it, I don't have the heart to cut it up. So I'll share it here.

Jeeps Under $4,000 - Off-Road Cover ChargePosted in Project Vehicles on October 22, 2008
Whether you've just started off-roading or you're looking for your next project Jeep, there's a lot of really good stuff available for under $4,000. You can get a good running and driving Jeep for less than the down payment of a new pickup with manual windows and a rubber carpet and still have enough money left to fill the tank a couple of times.
Here are some ideas we came up with for Jeeps that will get you out on the trail without breaking the bank. Some offer more reliability, others offer more cargo room, and a few offer the sense of adventure that can only come with the marriage of significant off-road capability coupled with mechanical uncertainty. So whether you want to take the wife and kids camping, hit the trails of Moab, or just plain wander into the great unknown and break down, there's a Jeep out there with your name on it.
'74-'79 J-truck/Wagoneer - Rednecks Come-a-Courtin'Let's face it. If you're looking for an affordable fullsize Jeep, your selection is severely limited. While J-trucks and Wagoneers were made throughout the '60s, the '74-'79 models had better drivetrain parts and a few more creature comforts. They're easier to modify with aftermarket parts, they're easier to find replacement parts for at the local auto store, and they command a slightly lower price than the earlier stuff.
Look For: Both the AMC 360 and 401 V-8s were optional from '74-'78. All front axles were open-knuckle Dana 44s, but disc brakes were optional on the '74-'76 pickups, so look for that. The T-18 tranny was available with or without a granny low. Power steering is a plus, as is the Model 20 T-case.
Avoid: We'd rather not have the TH400 with the Quadra-Trac full-time T-case and offset rear axle. While the inline-six may be adequate, why bother when V-8s are plentiful?
Ideal Candidate: We'd nab a pre-smog (in California at least) '74 or '75 model with a 401 four-barrel, a T-18 tranny, disc brakes, and air conditioning. We'd also like the bed full of gold bars and a supermodel who would chauffeur it for us.
Expect to Pay: Anywhere from $1,700 to $3,999 for a solid runner in reliable condition.
'41-'53 Flatfender - Wheel a LegendFlatties are still the king of cool in the dirt. With a nimble 80-inch wheelbase, they offer great maneuverability, although they do have very limited cargo capacity. A stock flattie will go places you'd never dream possible, and a built one will astound you. Unless you're extremely patient, plan on eventually ditching the stock 60hp flathead four-banger.
Look For: The '49-'53 CJ-3A and '50-'52 M-38 have a Dana 44 rear that's easy to upgrade, unlike earlier models' Spicer 25 or Spicer 41. Early 225 Buick V-6 conversions were popular, as were Chevy and Ford V-8 conversions. Swapped-in granny trannies like the SM420 are abundant.
Avoid: Stock drivetrain parts are marginal for all but the original L-head four-cylinder, which there aren't many of still around. Just avoid hacked, poorly executed engine, transmission, steering, and suspension work.
Ideal Candidate: A largely unmolested CJ-3A or M-38 with the original drivetrain in running condition is ideal. Minor mods like swapped seats, rollbars, or even a suspension lift are good. A vehicle like this would be a killer weekend fun rig and the beginning of a great, serious trail buildup.
Expect to Pay: Anywhere from $1,500 to $3,999 for a running, driving example.
'55-'86 CJ-5 or CJ-7 - Glutton For PunishmentSure, we're covering a wide array of CJs here and there were lots of changes over this 31-year span, but for the most part, the early ('55-'71), intermediate ('72-'75), and later ('76-'86) CJs can offer something for everyone. For changes, '72 was the first year of the long-nose CJs to accommodate AMC's 4.2L six-cylinder or 304 V-8. Earlier '55-'71 Jeeps came with a 72hp F-head four-cylinder, with '66-'71 models available with a 225 Buick V-6. The first year of the CJ-7 was '76 and the last year of the CJ-5 was '81. In '73 the Dana 30 front replaced the Dana 27, disc brakes became standard in '77, and the axle width was increased in '82.
Look For: With CJ-5s and '7s it's not so much what to look for as what to look out for. Watch out for cracked frames around the front and rear framehorns, steering-box mounts, and suspension mounts. Also, watch out for cracked or missing body mounts, worn steering and clutch components, and spun rear axleshafts in '55-'69 Dana 44 and '76-'86 Model 20 rears. Look for a '70-'71 V-6 model with one-piece Dana 44 rear shafts or a late '86 CJ-7 with a T-18 tranny, a Dana 300 T-case, and a Dana 44 rear.
Avoid: If you have smog laws in your state, avoid the late '70s and early '80s models with their miles of vacuum lines and emission trinkets.
Ideal Candidate: You can find CJs of all years that have had clean power-steering conversions, bolt-on-suspension lifts, and upgraded rear axleshafts. We'd look for a '70-'71 V-6 model or a modified '86 with a swapped-in V-8.
Expect to Pay: Upward of $3,999 for a reliable runner. Four-cylinder models will be slightly less.
'91-'99 Cherokee XJ - Mr. VersatileWhen Jeep came out with the XJ Cherokee in '84, it broke a lot of molds. Without going too deeply into Jeep history, the "little" Cherokee has served duty ranging from daily driver to insane rockcrawler to competitive prerunner to a number of things in between. With a wheelbase of 101.4 inches, a great power-to-weight ratio (for the H.O. 4.0L models), and durable drivetrain components, the XJ offers something for just about everyone.
Look For: In '91 Jeep introduced the upgraded High Output 4.0L that upped power to 190 hp and 225 lb-ft and began introducing the stronger Chrysler 8.25 axle in place of the weaker Dana 35. The '91-'96 models are the older body style introduced in '84, while the '97-'99 models have a more rounded shape and updated interior. Later Dana 30 front axles are high pinion, with some '99s either high or low pinion. Look for larger Spicer 297/760 U-joints in the front axle (the smaller 260X joints are easily converted with new shafts) and the NV231 T-case, although the NV242 Selec-Trac is good too.
Avoid: Four-cylinder models are largely dogs. The Dana 35 axle is weak and will need to be swapped out unless you plan on nothing but street driving. Even then we'd be careful.
Ideal Candidate: While the '97-and-up models are nicer, the $3,999 versions will have insanely high miles or lots of problems. For the money, we'd look for a '91-'93 version (it has an easily modified OBD-I emissions system) with the 4.0L, Chrysler 8.25 axle, and NP231 T-case.
Expect to Pay: Anywhere from $1,900 to $3,999 for a nice driver.
'93-'98 Grand Cherokee ZJ - Civil LibertiesThe Grand Cherokee ZJ was the family truckster/soccer-mom-mobile back in the day. However, now that those vehicles are looking a little long in the tooth, the prices have dropped dramatically. When you consider what you'd pay for a V-8-powered Jeep with front and rear coil suspension and room for five, if you had to have someone build it for you, the Grand Cherokee ZJ begins to look criminally inexpensive.
Look For: The '93-'98 models were available with an optional 220hp/245-lb-ft Magnum 318 engine, with '98s offering the 300hp/335-lb-ft Magnum 360 in the Limited models. Look for the full-time NV249 T-case behind the V-8s, with '96-and-up versions offering a center diff lock in the T-case.
Avoid: For reasons of fun only, the 4.0L six-cylinder-equipped versions.
Ideal Candidate: While a '98 5.9L Limited would be nice, for under $4,000 its condition would be hammered. We'd keep our eyes peeled for a more affordable '96 5.2L Laredo version with the lockable NV249 T-case.
Expect to Pay: About $3,500-$3,999 for a 120K-mile V-8-powered Limited or Laredo ZJ.
'87-'00 Wrangler YJ/TJ - The new LegendFor some reason, we think the YJ sort of got passed over in the overall scheme of things. Everyone and their brother were building CJs, then overnight the trend shifted to building TJs. We don't know why because the leaf-sprung YJ makes one heck of a trail machine and daily driver when built properly. Although we can see why people like the coil-sprung TJs for comfort and capability, their cost is still pretty high. We'll include them here just because we're starting to see some four-cylinder models in poor condition going for just under $4,000.
Look For: The '87-'90 four-cylinder engines have a throttle-body injection system that's OK, while the later versions have a multipoint injection system that's better. Either one is good off-road. The pricier '91-and-up 4.0L engines make great power for use with bigger tires. There aren't many options, in that manual vehicles will have either the AX-4 ('87-'90) or AX-5 ('91-and-up) behind the four-cylinder engine or the AX-15 behind the '89-and-up 4.0Ls.
Avoid: The '87-'90 4.2L six engines have a troublesome electronic carburetor that doesn't like to be taken off-road and an equally crappy Peugeot BA-10 tranny. All '87 Jeeps came with the obscure and forgettable NP207 T-case with 2.6:1 low. Don't bother. The 999 auto tranny is a good unit, but you shouldn't even consider running one behind a four-cylinder.
Ideal Candidate: The four-cylinder models are more affordable, but they're maddeningly underpowered. We'd look for a '91-'94 4.0L Wrangler with a manual tranny and power steering.
Expect to Pay: Most decent 4.0Ls hover right at the $3,999 mark, with very good 2.5L four-cylinder models anywhere from $2,500 to $3,999.
And Now A Word AboutBuying Someone's Unfinished Project:While it may seem like you can get a screaming deal picking up the shattered pieces of someone else's dream, getting into a half-baked project will usually just suck up more time and money than if you started your own project from scratch. We look at it this way: Although there are always exceptions, most of the time you'll wind up changing half the stuff the previous owner did and spend frustrating hours trying to figure out how to unscrew what they screwed up. Also, don't be lured by seemingly expensive trinkets and widgets that aren't all there. There's usually a reason that you're just getting a shortened front housing with no shafts, no steering components, and knuckles welded on all crooked and goofy.
Ideally, we'd rather get a running and driving vehicle, have fun with it stock, then build it up as our time, budget, and skills allow. Otherwise, you could be looking at a garage ornament that won't move for over a year.
Buying A Totaled-Parts Vehicle For Your Project:Buying a totaled-parts vehicle can be a good way of getting a bunch of parts for less than the sum of their costs. Plus, you'll have a source for all those little items that may be worn or missing from your rig. Just be careful when inspecting the parts donor. If it's been rolled or hit really hard, there could be bent stuff like axlehousings, suspension links, or springs, and damaged steering components. Using parts from the rear of a vehicle that's been hit in the front or vice versa can be a good idea, but if the vehicle you're considering buying for its axles and suspension system looks like the one in the photo, you may be better off walking away.

Gerry Adams release will not make fallout go away, you know
On the Falls Road the words "touts" and "informers" were painted.
The graffiti was written on the walls to shame and to speak of betrayal and dishonour.
And inside the republican community there is nothing worse you can be accused of.
This time, it was aimed at former IRA figures who recorded tapes for the Boston College oral history project.
And it was deliberately written in several places where it would be seen and read. The graffiti was an expression of building anger.
Brendan Hughes, once part of the IRA's so-called 'D' Company in the lower Falls and its 2nd battalion stretching from Divis Street to the Whiterock, is one of those who on the Boston tapes implicated the Sinn Fein president in the Jean McConville killing.
Hughes, now dead, alleged it was Adams who gave the order to disappear the widowed mother-of-10 – something the Sinn Fein leader has repeatedly denied.
But that allegation, alongside claims made on other Boston tapes by former IRA figures, formed a substantial part of this police investigation and the questioning of the Louth TD and former West Belfast MP.
There was also what was described as "open source" material printed in books and newspapers and reading back over several decades.
This included Adams' own book Before The Dawn.
Police are also known to have sought witness statements from others who made allegations about Adams in recent media interviews.
Those requests were declined. But the interviewing approach indicated that this questioning of Adams was in a much wider frame than just the abduction, killing and disappearing of Mrs McConville.

Sinn Fein's reaction to Adams arrest sending wrong message
Sinn Fein will not blackmail police, warns Peter Robinson
Within hours of the Sinn Fein leader's arrest, some republicans believed the police were attempting to construct an IRA membership charge. Several decades ago, a similar charge failed.
The appearance of that graffiti in parts of west Belfast coincided with Saturday's protest rally and unveiling of a new Gerry Adams mural. That gathering was designed as both a show of strength and a show of support.
Martin McGuinness and Martina Anderson were on the stage with Bobby Storey – one of the most senior figures from the IRA's 'war' years. He is big in republican stature and rank.
Among the crowd were Adams' brother Paddy and Eibhlin Glenholmes, who spent years on the run and who was once described under the banner headline Britain's Most Wanted.
Martin Lynch, Padraic Wilson and Jim McVeigh – all with past IRA credentials – were present. And so too Adams' aide Richard McAuley, Policing Board members Gerry Kelly and Pat Sheehan, the local MP Paul Maskey and ministers Caral Ni Chuilin and Jennifer McCann.
Borrowing Adams' words from a different time and a different place, Storey shouted out Sinn Fein's message to the British and Irish Governments.
To loud applause and cheers, he said: "We ain't going away you know."
But republicans know something else isn't going away – the questions that relate to that ugly chapter of the Disappeared.
Through their families, they have spoken. Not all of the bodies have been found – and this issue of the Disappeared is part of an incomplete peace. An incomplete peace that at some time is going to need some type of process. And this is part of what angered republicans.
Before that process was agreed and shaped, Adams was arrested, held and questioned.
So, in all of this there will be ramifications – policing and political.

Swedish Match has launched four new snuses without much fanfare, actually they were found by a reader of Snubie.com after checking out http://svensktsnus.com and alerting me to it. None of the webstores are currently offering them, but I'm sure that will change eventually. First, Kaliber Special White. "Soft pouch with good fit and the right feel for the lip. Experienced dry on the surface but delivers flavor fast and long without running."
Forgive the translations, they're from Google so who knows how close they are. And this one doesn't exactly say much about the product, but the others are a little more detailed.
General Long White Mint
"Medium-bodied tobacco character with clear hints of fresh peppermint and eucalyptus, and a little cedar and citrus."
Kronan White Stark
"Full-bodied and flowery tobacco character with hints of violet and citrus, and a little herbs. Prillan fills the lower lip, is dry on the surface of the low rinnighet and fresh feel but a moist snuff which provides a prolonged flavor release."
Grov Stark Original
"Grovsnus Stark Original has a rich, spicy and robust tobacco flavor with hints of flowers and herbs, and slightly almond, wood and tar. Pouch that fills the lower lip. Is moist on the surface for fast and robust flavor release."

The WordPress prompter asked:
Describe the first person who broke your heart. And if you could take revenge on them now, would you? Did you ever think about it? What would you say to them now if you met them on the street?
Now my heart has been broken several times over the years, by friends, family and of course, the inevitable boyfriend or two.
I think the question probably refers to 'partners'.
So I'll go with that.
Sitting in a history classroom (aged a mere 17) I chatted and giggled with my best friend Faye, who had some extra special news for me that day. She'd met a guy that according to her, was perfect for me. She wanted to set me up with him on a blind date.
Shocked and indignant, I retorted that I did not want to be 'set up' with anyone. Despite her protestations, her descriptions of how he was the yin to my yang and all that jazz, I stuck to my guns and refused to meet him.
I can't really remember how much time passed. Maybe a few weeks, maybe a few months. But one day I bumped into Faye as she left and I entered our local shopping centre. We chatted briefly and then right after I left her, I spotted a boy.
Tall. So skinny, his clothes almost fell off him. With long, wild, curly, black hair and eyes that looked right into my soul…
And I was dumbstruck.
I excitedly told my friend Faye, in our next history class (as you do when you're 17), all about my amazing encounter. I detailed how my heart had fluttered and my mouth had gone dry.
She asked me to describe the boy and then grinning (smug as you like) all over her face she told me:
It was him.
The yin to my yang.
I did, of course, suitably chastise her for not having introduced us. As is correct for a 17-year-old girl who's wishing to embark on the fullness of life.
And at some point after that we met again. Properly this time. At a rock disco. And somewhat spurred on by a few drinks, I
threw myself at him caught the attention of my man.
He was funny. Kind. Passionate. Always philosophising. Clever. Artistic. Loved his 'sounds'. Chatty. Argumentative. Liked his pint. He lived in a second-hand army jacket. And fan t-shirts. And jeans. He liked to provoke. He was romantic. Sweet. Troubled. Caring. Good.
We spent the first months of our relationship pretty much in each others pockets. But then things got in the way. Family. He went through the awful loss of losing both his father and his grandfather to cancer. Understandably, he spent a lot of time at home but then he had an opportunity to go away for three weeks. He asked me to go with him. We'd hardly seen each other in the previous weeks, but I had to decline. I had exams to sit. And so he left. Alone.
Meanwhile, my relationship with my parents went from bad to worse and at some point I walked out. Aged 17.
I had my issues and he had his, and when he didn't turn up to my 18th birthday celebration, I went to look for him and we had an almighty row.
And we split.
There and then in the middle of the street. In front of friends and passers-by.
I could not accept the split. For me it was unnatural. Neither of us had met someone else, or even stopped liking the other one. We just had so much heartache in our own lives that it had spilled over and we were too young and too inexperienced to pull together and deal with it side by side.
For the next year and a half I catapulted around from pillar to post to wall to doorway.
And then, we were both in the same place, at the same time and our eyes met and suddenly, we were together again. I felt so happy.
But we had changed.
He had changed. He was sad. Torn. Battered and bruised. He warned me that he was not the same person that I had once known.
I had changed. I lived my life on the edge and I ached with loss and rage. I assured him that we could go back.
One evening he declined to come out. Said he didn't feel so well and wanted a night in. I went out with friends, but while I was dancing I had an image enter my head of him kissing another girl that we both knew. It was the strangest thing and it really shook me up. I told myself I was being ridiculous. He'd never shown any interest in that girl and besides, he was at home, feeling sick.
At the end of the night my friends and I headed off to the taxi rank and there he was. And there she was. They denied any wrongdoing, and I had only an image in my head to go by. But soon after, one of his friends confirmed my suspicions and I flipped…
Years later, I bumped into him again. I was married at that point, to my first husband. It was good to see him, we talked and hugged and cleared the air. He apologised, I apologised and he was more like his old self. And me, I guess, like mine. He told me where to head with my life and I listened. The same old passionate philosopher…
I will be honest with you and tell you that in all those years not a single day had gone by, that I hadn't thought about him.
In June 2002, a mutual friend called me and told me that Euan had died in his tenement after falling down the stairs. Aged just 30 years old.
To this day, despite attending his huge funeral, I still find it difficult to believe that there will be no little Euan's in the world, no wife for him to be sweet and kind and romantic with and no world to hear his philosophising.

Getting a payday loan is not something anyone usually looks forward to doing.Sometimes it is a necessary part of reality. If you are in this boat, then read on into the following paragraphs for advice, and wisdom. Use this knowledge to go into the best deal, and find the best possible exit from your emergency.
Those of you looking to take out a payday loan would be wise to choose a lender that has a no-hassle policy with regards to checks bouncing. Some lenders will have a hefty penalty fee for a bounced check while others have no penalty at all so make sure you choose the right one.
Keep in mind that before you get your check from a payday loan, the lender will deduct fees. So if you take out a loan for one-thousand dollars, you will not receive that much. Each lender has different fees, so make sure you are aware of these ahead of time.
If you are going through serious financial trouble, then cash advances are not a good choice for you. This type of loan is only for those individuals who, have incurred a sudden expense that needs to be paid off right away. People who apply for these loans should, have the ability to pay them off within two weeks. This is the time that most payday loan terms will expire.
A great tip for anyone looking to take out a payday loan is to avoid giving your information to lender matching sites. Some payday loan sites match you with lenders by sharing your information. This can be quite risky and also lead to a lot of spam emails and unwanted calls.
If you feel you have been taken advantage of by a payday loan company, report it immediately to your state government. If you delay, you could be hurting your chances for any sort of recompense. As well, there are many people out there like you that need real help. Your reporting of these poor companies can keep others from having similar situations.
At their best, payday loans are a two step process. The first part is usually easy. Getting a loan initially to take care of your needs, and emergency. The trickier part is exiting the situation in such a way as to not create a debt cycle, or the next emergency. Keep the advice and ideas in this article in mind, to minimize the hassle, and burden of your payday loan experience.

Am feeling slightly weird. Don't know if it's the lack of sleep or the fact I haven't taken Xanax for a night. Had very light sleep and nightmares. Would these symptoms go away immediately once I take a Xanax during the day or it's just basically a lack of sleep issue?
I've not taken my Xanax for a day. Been taking 0.50 mg every night to help me sleep?

Although you are on a small dose of Xanax, it is known to have a reputation for being habit forming if used for extended periods. On abrupt cessation I would expect light and/or disturbed sleep for up to a couple of weeks, if you are unlucky, especially if you have been used to taking them before bed. If you have only been taking them for a short while things should return to normal far faster.
Take care.
Hi Stephen... many thanks for your answers. Yes... I have tried stopping them abruptly once. Didn't sleep well and felt physically sick... the type where you don't sleep for days. Do you know how long these withdrawals last? I hear Xanax withdrawals are pretty bad... in some cases even worse than opiads i.e. heroin and what not :(
With benzodiazepine withdrawal I found it fairly easy. I stopped taking Xanax 6 - 8mg per day and replaced it with Valium prescribed at 15mg per day. Maybe it was just a fortunate accident but this coincided with a low anxiety period for me and I just stopped taking them. I did have restless disturbed sleep for about three weeks with some very vivid dreams but it was ultimately quite easy and I have remained Xanax free for the last 9 years.
I believe the only person who might make a heroin comparison is someone who has never experienced the full horror of heroin/strong opiate withdrawal. A simple analogy would be comparing a torn fingernail to slamming a car door fully closed on your fingers.
The only issue being that Valium really is quite ineffective against my anxiety attacks and only minimises the symptoms which is fine for the most part. I have to discuss this with my doctor at the moment (a fairly recent development where I can't get on top of things and need to return to something more potent).

So today I went to the gym and everything was fine until we walked out the door. Gavin turned into the devil. He refused to hold my hand in the parking lot, and I was pushing Lucas in the stroller, so I was trying to grip his hand while steering and Gavin just kept going limp. So I tell him he either has to hold my hand or I have to carry him. He sits on the ground and says "nooooooooo" so I pick him up as he is wriggling and I am still trying to steer the stroller. In the meantime Lucas is crying because it is chilly and he is tired and just wants to fall asleep. So I finally get Gavin kicking to the car and set him down so I can unlock the car.
Well, "they" are right, you can't take your eyes of them for one second, because Gavin thinks he gets to run back to the "tunnel" ( a series of metal posts for people to lock bikes to) so I grab him and say "you NEVER run in a parking lot" but of course he just knows that if we get in the car we are heading home to take a nap and has no concept of cars in the parking lot. He is trying to wriggle out of my grasp and Lucas is still crying because I haven't been able to put him in the car yet. So now I have to put Gavin in first, because he can't be trusted, and he is arching is back doing whatever he can not to be strapped in. I had just read an article in Parent's magazine about how to handle temper tantrums and I am thinking...ok, that article goes out the window when it is cold and a baby is crying and cars are driving around...so I said "here" and handed him a box of animal crackers.
Of course, once in the car Lucas falls asleep and Gavin is a little angel, singing along to the radio.

I read somewhere that faking confidence is all you need to do to truly become confident because eventually you'll start to believe what you're telling yourself.
My self esteem has been pretty low and I've been feeling pretty shitty lately especially because it's summer now and I have nothing to do, which makes me feel worthless and stuff. So I decided to make a list of people who inspire me to be more confident or just to generally be a better person.
1)Mitch Grassi (1/5 of Pentatonix, 1/2 of Superfruit)
I love her because I've seen her become more confident over the months that I've been obsessed *ahem* interested in her. You can literally see the progression of him finding himself and the freedom to express himself. One of his new year's resolutions for 2014, I think, was to be more confident and he definitely has done that. Obviously she's flawless and her style is the best, but she's also genuinely caring and loves all of her fans. On top of that, have you seen her dance?
2) Arden Rose (youtuber, feminist)
Free the nipple, haha. Arden is amazing because she's so open about herself online. She puts herself in a place of vulnerability but is totally ok with it because she is able to ignore any hate she gets and just focus on the positive. She inspires me to be ok with my body, but to also work towards a healthier lifestyle, which is something that I have yet to start doing.
3) Tana Mongeau (youtuber)
Another strong, female youtuber who is unashamed to be who she is. She doesn't give a fuck about anyone's opinions. I need to learn how to stop thinking so much about what others think of me and just be myself. The people who stick around are the people who I truly want to be friends with.
4) Zendaya (actress, feminist)
So there's a trend in the people who I look up to. Zendaya is again an advocate for body positivity. I love how she calls out people who shame women for their bodies or how they dress. Women should be able to dress how they want without being slut shamed or judged by other women. Also, her style is the best and something that I aspire to have.
5) Scott Hoying (1/5 Pentatonix, 1/2 Superfruit)
I love Scott because he is just a big, cuddly noodle. He obviously loves his fans and cares deeply for all his friends. He's also so creative and ambitious. To think that he put together Pentatonix as a 17 year old, just out of high school, is amazing. He didn't go to college, like most people would expect, and instead followed his dreams. He, and the rest of Pentatonix, revolutionized acapella.
6) Palebluedreamer (author of scomiche fanfics on Wattpad)
Oh my god where do I even begin? Emily is so amazing. Her writing style is so fluid and beautifully crafted. I can't even believe how well thought out her plots and character developments are. On top of that, the messages that she sends through her writing is inspirational. In Touch, her character Mitch taught me that going through depression is not my fault. It's not something I can control. I can work to get through it but it may always be a part of me. And that's totally ok. As long as I am willing to open up to people and not hide everything inside, then I'll be ok. In The Watchmaker, so far I've learned to be free. Open myself to the light, meaning joy for me specifically. And to not overthink things so much. I shouldn't get so trapped in myself that I forget about those around me.
So those are the people I can think of so far. I'm sure there's tons more but my brain is tired so I'm gonna go. When I think of more I'll update my list.

Gemma Leader and David Kelly win us over with some chocolate-covered shortbread
This tasty heart-shaped, chocolate-covered shortbread was sent in by David Kelly and Gemma Leader, in exchange for a cheeky mention of their show, Obsession. 'It's about discovering what we are truly obsessed with,' says Leader. 'We're probably all happy to admit to being into something cool, but we hope the audience will share things with us that they're happy to look like a berk for!'
And the shortbread? 'I like a biscuit, I can't lie, but not to the point of obsession. Cake's more my thing, but we bribed journalists with cake last year, so biscuits were the obvious next step.' Might this propensity for payoffs come in handy when certain cologne manufacturers come knocking for copyright infringement? 'Actually, we've been asked to front their next advertising campaign, but what with all the other modelling contracts we get offered, I doubt either of us will have the time.'
