I could quite easily convince you, and myself, that this Jeep Cherokee XJ in the picture is the greatest one ever built. It’s a two-door, which most people think looks nicer than the four-door (it’s technically a shooting brake), it’s green like all Jeeps since WWII should be, it has a tan interior which matches best with the green paint, it has the wonderful AX-15 five-speed manual, it’s got four-wheel drive, and under the hood is the beloved 4....

While many smartphones have great built-in recorders, phones are not a replacement for a built-for-purpose, high-quality voice recorder. If you record audio content regularly, a voice recorder will be an essential purchase, and you won’t be interrupted by phone calls, messages or other alerts, or have to worry about conserving your battery or if you have enough storage. The sound quality is also much better. To choose the best voice recorder for your needs, you need to choose your preferred features such as the sound quality, type of microphone, usability, design, battery life and storage....

As I suspected. Lewd jokes aside, the Beaver really was the better bet. Today, in honor of the Indepenence Day holiday yesterday, I thought we’d revisit the classic Ford versus Chevy confrontation, in the form of two plain white sedans. These cars were once the default family-car option in America, before the Age of SUVs and the coming of the great Crossover. But outdated as they may be, these basic four door sedans still have a lot to offer, especially at the bottom end of the price range....

Probably one of the coolest things the Jeep brand does is create a bunch of cool concept cars just before each year’s Easter Jeep Safari annual off-road-fest in Moab, Utah. It’s something I’ve always appreciated, because this seems like an easy budget item to slash; I imagine it’s sometimes tough to justify the expense of this bit of design/fabrication fun, even though I realize there’s some marketing benefit. Anyway, Jeep says this year’s concepts represent the “most impressive lineup of Easter Jeep Safari concepts ever,” and while that’s just hyperbole (previous years’ concepts have been much cooler) I do have to give props to whoever is behind the ’41 Concept, because it’s a damn masterpiece....

Instead, the MAP test is adapted to each child, featuring questions that are suited to that child’s academic standard.

Career goals are a topic that potential employers might bring up at interview, so it’s worth considering yours when applying for jobs. For example, if you are a recent graduate, your short-term career goal might be finding a way into your chosen industry. Your long-term career goal could be establishing yourself as an important player in that industry, making significant changes to the way things are run.

First, a little disclosure: I’ve been watching this RV build almost since the beginning and have been pleading with the people I know at Ai Design to let me check it out when it was finally finished.

For example, the contractors you talk with may offer well-thought-out estimates and spout confident projections. Still, things will go a lot more smoothly if you set aside a few hundred or thousand dollars, depending on the project....
