Both authors have new middle grade releases that are good for 4th grade through middle school, but they have also written YA, so there is something for everyone!

Cory's new book, Dinosaur Boy is one of our most anticipated middle grade books of the year. It is her first middle grade, but is a great story and fun for boys and girls. Jo's latest release, Colonial Madness, is her first hardback middle grade release and is a fun mother-daughter story.

Come join us at 6:30pm on Monday March 9 with Jo Whittemore and Cory Oakes!

We thought it would be a great idea and wondered if some of their members would be interested in coming out and helping us. They said they would be happy to and a plan was hatched.

We have recently created a display of Austin SCBWI member books at the shop and we are working on having all of the authors over for a book signing to celebrate. You can come in at any time and purchase a book off the display to donate BookSpring and not only will the book get donated, but The Book Spot will be donating proceeds, from the sale, to BookSpring as well. Then you can also come to the book signing and pick up signed copies for yourself, family and friends! Proceeds from those sales will also go to BookSpring!

We have so much to be thankful for this year, but we are most thankful for the wonderful customers that have made this year our best year yet! We are also very thankful for all the new help we have been getting around the shop. The shop looks awesome and is full of great gift ideas. We will highlight some in the weeks to come, but first we want to let you know about this weekend.

We are closed on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. We know you will be camping out at the Best Buy on Friday, so we'll sleep in and rest up. On Saturday we will open at 9 am and be giving away 20 of our new shopping bags to our first 20 customers. We are also going to stuff a coupon in each bag. Be one of the first 20 people on Saturday and see what you get!

We have been busy stocking up the shop with calendars and great gift books. We have also been busy taking half off more than 50% of our new book inventory. That's right, this weekend, you can buy most of our new books at used prices!

I had seen Lee's book, Joshua Dread, around the shop, so I knew about him a little, but this made me pick up the book and check it out. Right from the beginning, I was hooked. I passed the book around to a couple of our librarian fiends and they insisted that we get Lee into Round Rock for some school visits.

As luck would have it, he was going to be down in Texas in November and he was fine piggy backing a few more visits, just so long as we had an awesome event in our shop for him. He is here visiting our schools this week, so now it's our turn to do our part and have an awesome event for him. Grab all of your friends and come out to The Book Spot on Thursday at 6:30 to talk about Joshua Dread and meet Lee Bacon!The Book Spothttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655411911944621579.post-21119694335467519382014-10-27T00:05:00.000-05:002014-10-27T00:05:47.752-05:00Grandfather Gandhi Texas Tour 10/27 @ 6:30p

We're excited to know the author of THAT book that comes out this May... our very own local author, Varian Johnson. His new book, The Great Greene Heist has gotten the twitterverse aflutter with excitement and the promise of a great Middle Grade book.

There is even a Great Greene Heist Challenge that was first issued by author Kate Messner. Now you won't see our name thrown around in a lot of the articles about this Great Greene Challenge, because frankly, although people like to talk about "Indie" bookstores, they still love to see really big chain-like stores, like our friends at BookPeople, and often overlook the truely unique mom and pop style independent bookstores like us, BUT HERE IS WHERE WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

We have the best customers in the world! We have a great audiance for Middle School and Middle Grade books! We can pre-sell and hand-sell a lot of Varian's books. We can spread the word on how WONDERFUL a book The Great Greene Heist is and how easy it is to get a signed copy at The Book Spot. With your help, we can make the Top 10 locations of books sold. Can you help? Will you? You can pre-order a copy of The Great Greene Heist at the shop or if you aren't around Round Rock & Pflugerville, you can order online and we will ship it for just $0.99 cents.

Want to read the story behind The Great Greene Heist?? You can here: The Kelsey Job

Finally, late this summer or early in the fall, we will have a big party to celebrate The Great Greene Heist and our TOP 10 FINISH (will we be #1??). Any spoils we get, we will share at the party. There is some pretty sweet stuff up for grabs! Share a great book, support books with people of color and a wide range of diversity AND support your local book shop!

So the idea of Indies First was born. Our friends at the local chapter of SCBWI reached out to us and asked if we would like to partner with them this year to have some of their members come work the floor at The Book Spot this Nov 30th. We think this is a great idea!

This Saturday a great team of local authors will be putting on comfy shoes and putting their book nerves to the test at the Best Book Store in the Austin area. Stop by and get some great recommendations from our author friends.

10am - Mary Sullivan
11am - Jeanette Larson & Shana Burg
Noon - PJ Hoover
1pm - Shelley Jackson & Jeff Crosby

In addition to recommending great books that they have read and fun things that their friends have published, you might even talk them into signing their books for a great gift idea!

what sheen to choose for door, casing and crown moulding?
janesylviaFebruary 9, 2013
I am going to have all interior doors changed. And I need to choose the paint for interior doors, door casing, and crown moulding. What sheen should I choose, semi gloss or gloss?
Thank you very much.
Well...I s'pose you could do a different sheen on the crowns (may even look kinda cool!), but then you'd be buying the same color in 2 sheens!
I was just being silly, with my preference for s/g in these cases! It's more durable for baseboards, etc.

Case Conclusion Date:December 31, 2007
Practice Area:Personal Injury
Outcome:Successful Insurance Fair Conduct Complaint
Description:Shortly after the Insurance Fair Conduct Act was passed into law in Washington State, I filed one of the first complaints under this act and successfully settled my clients Underinsured Motorist Claim. After successfully obtaining the policy limits from the 3rd party responsible for the accident that injured my client, I made a demand to my client's insurance company for additional settlement funds under his Underinsured Motorist coverage. His Insurance Company responded with a "nuisance offer" of $500.00. Upon receiving this "nuisance offer" I promptly filed one of the first Insurance Fair Conduct Act complaints in the State of Washington. Shortly after receiving my complaint, his insurance company promptly resolved the case by making a much more substantial settlement offer that we accepted.

Hi, all! I'm Monica Shulman and I am a photographer in New York City. I also write Ciao, Chessa! — a lifestyle blog focusing on art, photography and travel. Thank you Adorama for inviting me to share on your blog!
I'm a bit obsessed with creating gallery walls and I've decided that I need more walls in my home. The wall above the dresser in my daughter's room was a sad, empty space that taunted me for months. I thought about leaving it blank but one rainy afternoon, while we were lying on the floor reading some of her favorite books, my girl stopped me and staring at her existing gallery wall she started calling out everything and everyone she saw in the photos. Soon this became one of her favorite activities. She walks around our apartment (especially in the kitchen), points at photos and talks about them and the people in them and I tell her the story of the day the photo was taken. I started thinking about the kind of pictures that I wanted to put up on that little wall and soon the stories started to unfold. I use Instagram (A LOT) to capture the moments of my life and with a toddler running around sometimes the iPhone camera is the only practical way to take pictures because I simply don't have the time or the hands to use my dslr. And so the idea for my newest gallery wall started to form. I had never printed my Instagram photos before but I knew, after years of working with Adoramapix, that the quality would be amazing and would not disappoint.
I used my own gallery wall tutorial as a guide:
(1) get all the necessarily materials (I LOVE painter's tape)
(2) choose the frames and photos
(3) frame your wall using painter's tape
(4) choose a layout, and finally
(5) hang the frames
The best part of creating this wall was choosing the images and once I decided that I was going to print pictures from my Instagram feed the fun really began. I love mobile photography because it has allowed me to take photography in general less seriously all the time. For the first time ever, as a photographer at least, I have finally learned to relinquish a bit of control (just a little) and in doing so I'm actually having more fun and have gotten better at capturing quiet, spontaneous moments and the images that I chose for this wall illustrate that. All of the photos are taken from behind or above when my daughter didn't know that I was there, when she was in her own world, doing something wonderful and fun – jumping in puddles, running fearlessly toward the waves, sleeping peacefully in her beloved crib. I'm always, always there with her, watching her, letting her run and encouraging her to be adventurous and live playfully, even when (perhaps especially when) she doesn't know I'm right behind her.
I'd highly recommend printing some of your favorite phone photos. If you think about it, these are the times when you feel the least self-conscious about your photo-taking skills because after all, it's just a phone. The majority of my favorites happen to be Instagram pics but the idea behind mobile phone photos is the same…they are real, seemingly inconsequential but actually quite meaningful moments. I used Adoramapix and the prints look great in the 10×10 and 5×5 size.
I'm curious to know what you think. Do you have any tips for creating gallery walls or favorite apps for your iPhone or android? Share them in the comments!
See my original gallery wall tutorial here and see more walls in my home here.
You can find me on Twitter or connect on Facebook and Pinterest. Thanks for reading!
One of the promises that I made after I had my daughter (among the many) was that I would no longer let my personal photos collect proverbial dust in the vortex that is my archiving system. Vacation photos, holiday photos, family photos…if they weren't for clients or as part of a photography project, once I started shooting digital I would rarely make prints. Everything changes when you have kids and for me that included not just how I make memories but what I do with them once I've recorded them. To this day my family goes through old albums and I love when my dad posts old photos on Facebook…especially when I've never seen them before. Making prints of memories is important!
So I solved the problem of my personal photos taken with my dslr because I started to make books and prints for gallery walls but what about my iPhone? I have over 11,000 pictures on it! (#issues #hoarder) I've made prints of those before too but I wanted to make a special photo book just for Lucia.
While most kids play games and watch shows on the iPad my girl likes to go through the camera roll and scroll through old photos – "remember this day, mommy?" is one of her many catch phrases. So I teamed up with my friends at Adorama to make an 8×8 photo book of some of our favorite family memories as recorded by my iPhone and processed on Instagram.
The book
The hardest part for me was selecting the pictures (no surprise). The book itself was so simple to make because the program online is very straightforward and you have full control over the style and design. There are many different templates to choose from for every size book available and in fact for someone like me who is terribly indecisive there are almost too many templates. I narrowed it down to five and then just went with my favorite. After selecting your images and loading them up to the website (a process that is very fast depending on your internet connectivity) you just drag and drop them into the space in your blank book and save as you go. Ta-da! I even cheated a bit and was able to drag a few photos into blank spaces that weren't meant for images and I was able to play with the size a bit to make photos larger than the space allowed them to be. You can select photos from a number of different sources including Picasa, Flickr, your Adoramapix account and your computer.
I've been working with Adorama for personal and professional projects for years so it was no surprise to me that the quality of the book is top notch. The pages are printed on real photographic silver-halide paper with a lustre finish so the colors are bright and saturated with great flesh tones. For photography junkies like me this is a huge deal. They use real archival quality photo paper so it's fade-resistant and you even have several paper choices. I also really like how thick and sturdy the pages are. Another really important feature for me when I made this book was that the HD glossy paper is fingerprint resistant! Hello? Amazing! I usually prefer matte paper for my prints but I was making this book specifically for my toddler to thumb through, carry with her, and put her hands all over it so this feature was a major draw for me.
Here's what I did: so simple…
1. Visited Adoramapix.com and chose the perfect book size
Once I decided that I wanted to use my Instagram photos (since she loves them so much) I realized that the 8×8 format was perfect for the square-cropped pictures. Since I'm terrible at editing to make a concise collection I went with a 26-page book. Not too many, not too few. I felt like it was the perfect number of images to keep my toddler's attention and just enough to capture the feeling of the general "theme" I decided to go with.
2. Chose my images
With so many pictures to choose from I had a very difficult task ahead of me so I just went with favorite images of the last year or so that were strictly of our family. A NYC-themed book of Instagrams is up next but I wanted to make this one for her first.
The front cover gave me the option of choosing four photos. I opted to leave the title off the front and put it only on the spine. You can choose from several different fonts and sizes.
The back cover. I loved that I was able to have one large photo on the back to balance out the four photos I chose for the front.
Thank you to Monica Shulman who inspires photographers and artists through her blog called Ciao, Chessa! . It is a photography and lifestyle blog dedicated to people who appreciate the little details that make life amazing. Since its birth in 2008, her blog has evolved into a place where she talks about art, photography, travel, motherhood, living in New York, and the people and things that inspire her.
When we launched What's App Wednesdays we wanted to look at some of the apps out there that helped photographers edit their smart phone images. What we forgot to do is start with the basics. So this quick 5 tip post is designed for those who are just starting out with their iphones or want to capture better images.
As with any type of photography, you need to know your camera. In this case, it's your iphone.
1. Learn Composition
According the Wikipedia, the rule of thirds was first jotted down in 1797 by John Thomas Smith. The rule of thirds is the basic guideline to use when composing your shot. On your iphone, when you click on your camera icon hit the "options" button at the top in the middle. This will give you two options, Grid and HDR. Turn the grid on. You will now see a grid appear when you are composing your shots. Do not worry, this will not show up in your pictures, it's merely there to help you compose and straighten your images.
2. Focus
Instead of just tapping on the camera icon and letting your iphone do the thinking, try using the focus button and show it exactly where you want the focus located on your image. If you tap on the screen lightly, a small blue box will appear. This is your focus button, you can move this anywhere you like on your image and your phone will focus on that area. You should also note, this will adjust your exposure. The point where the iphone is focused, is also where the phone will read for its exposure.
3. Stand Still
This goes with regular cameras as well. I was intrigued by a young man who was rollerblading in a park. The amazing flips and heights he reached were unbelievable. I wanted to catch it on my iphone and it took me about 5 tries, but I finally got it. First, I set the focus point to the ramp where I knew he would jump. Then each time he reached that area, I would hold my breath, steady the phone, rest my elbows on my chest and take the picture. I finally caught the image I wanted but it took a few practices.
4. Find the Light
I found one of my favorite trees, a magnolia tree was in bloom. Be still my heart! I started snapping away and yes, I admit I did not look for the light. On the left, you see my first attempts, very dark and murky. The image on the right, I moved my camera up and towards the light, even straight out of iphone it looks heaps better than the first image. This is true with regular cameras as well, always find the light and work with it.
5. Know your Flash
Your flash is attached to your camera, so it will not be the most flattering since it's not diffused in any way. Since it's attached, you should know that the flash has a range on it. The results are varied but most reports tend to agree that anything more than 15 feet away will have poor results. So using your iphone and flash at concerts will not give you the desired effect you desire. Also, turn the flash off when you are photographing reflective subjects such as mirrors and windows. The flash can also be harsh when photographing people at night. So you'll just need to practice in various set ups and situations to see what works best for you.
These are 5 very basic tips to help you get started on iphoneography. Over the course of time, we will continue to review apps and hardware that help you on your way.

You can reach Piura by...
You can reach Piura by airplane or by bus. In both cases, emotions will be waiting for you. In the case of the travel by road, well, 1,000 km along the Peruvian coast are ikely to be not completely quiet. In the case of an air trip, the airplane to Piura will stop at Chiclayo or Trujillo (there are also some direct flights), in both cases, the final piece, flying over the Chiclayo desert will always be turbolent because of the very hot air raising from the sands.
In Piura and around, get the taxi. Out of Piura, bus services leave from the main market place; in most cases, the alternative to bus is the collective taxi (colectivo) which will wait until 6 paying persons are ready to leave.

Move comes as plans for merger scrapped
ESCONDIDO Richard Batt has stepped down as head of Interfaith Community Services about two years after taking over the social-service nonprofit group.
His retirement came in the wake of the Escondido-based organization's decision on Dec. 4 to call off his proposal to merge Interfaith with the Community Resource Center in Encinitas, a similar nonprofit that serves coastal North County.
Interfaith's associate director, Craig Jones, has been named as Batt's interim replacement. Last week, Jones said the turnover was a mutual decision between Batt and the Interfaith board, but he didn't elaborate.
Reached by telephone in Maine, Batt said he's proud of what was achieved during his tenure. He didn't want to comment on the board's decision or whether his departure was related to the envisioned merger. He also said his retirement was prompted largely by a need to care for his ailing father, who lives in Carlsbad.
"For the next couple of months, I do need time to catch up on personal priorities and attend to some family health needs," Batt said. "But later, I will return in a volunteer or consulting way to help social improvements in San Diego."
Christine Carrick, chairwoman of the Interfaith board, praised Batt's services but also declined to give details about the leadership change.
"I'm sorry to see him leave," she said. "He had accomplished some amazing things."
Batt proposed the merger when Laurin Pause, the chief executive for Community Resource Center, announced her retirement last year. At the time, Batt planned to have the combined organization open new satellite offices across North County during the next two years, sharing resources and cutting overhead expenses.
With the partnership called off, Pause has returned temporarily to her former position with the Community Resource Center while trustees search for her permanent replacement.
Reached by phone in Arizona, where she is visiting family during the holidays, Pause said the merger fell apart because it wouldn't be as cost-effective as originally believed.
"The savings we thought we'd see would not materialize for some time," she said.
Pause also said because of internal operating differences, including different infrastructure and technology, the combined entity would have had to make hefty investments to align those contrasting systems before realizing any cost savings.
"It wasn't like we just woke up and said, 'Whoa, let's not do this,'" Pause said about the research that led to cancellation of the merger.
Pause said she will continue at the Community Resource Center until mid-February, when she must begin meeting other commitments.
Carrick, the Interfaith chairwoman, said the partnership might still ultimately happen.
"We decided to wait a while," she said. "We could go back and readdress it."
Carrick stressed that Batt is leaving on good terms and will help in Jones' transition when he returns to San Diego County. She also said a search committee will be formed to seek his permanent replacement after she returns from vacation on Jan. 10.
Batt was hired in September 2011 to replace Suzanne Pohlman, who was Interfaith's director for 29 years.

Canadians, esp. Ontarions: anyone want to buy a cheaper new car ?
As many of your know, same model of cars have been able to be bought in the U.S. much cheaper than here for many years.
Some Canadians were going to the U.S. to buy cars in earlier years, even given that exchange rates meant that we had to pay more Dollars Canadian than we had to pay to the U.S. dealer when we purchased.
Now that the Canadian Dollar is almost at pAr, it makes even more sense to do that.
It's now difficult for many of you to do that, as you have to work every day and it might be difficult to make the arrangements on weekends.
Being as I'm retired, I have some freedom to spend time on arranging such transactions.
If any of you might be interested, perhaps I could arrange for you to buy a vehicle down there.
Furthermore, since they tell us that, as the Canadian stock market is only 2% of the world market, we Canadians should diversify abroad.
Which has included buying not only U.S. assets ...
... but assets based in other countries, as well.
However, it is difficult to buy stocks in distant countries, and transaction costs are high.
It's easier to buy such stocks using what they call ADRs - American Depository Receipts, a system operated by U.S. banks in New York.
Which means that that New York-based component of those those foreign stocks also have their prices based in U.S. Dollars.
Since I don't own a home (thus am not eligible for the freedom from income tax on the capital gain when it's sold) but have invested in stocks instead, including some U.S. and foreign ones ...
... the 15% of so reduction in U.S. exchange rate in the last month or so has hurt my valuation of not only my U.S. companies' stocks, but all of those foreign stocks, s well.
So I'd like to regain part of that potential loss.
If you're willing to share your savings with me, perhaps we can make an arrangement for me to arrange your purchase of a vehicle in the U.S.
One major proviso - you might have to forego warranty services.
They're discussing the ramifications of this situation on a nation-wide phone-in radio program on CBC Radio One from 4 til 6 now on Sunday afternoon, Sep 23.
A guy just called in to say that he can buy an All-terrain Vehicle, built by Bombardier in Montreal, for $2,500. lower price in the U.S. When he calls Bombardier to complain, they say that pricing relates to market conditions ...
... and about all that they can offer him should he choose to buy one in the U.S. ...
... is to tell him that if he buys one in the U.S. and brings it back to Canada ...
... they won't honour their warranty.
And he says that at least one ATV dealer in the U.S. has been told by his supplier that he's not supposed to sell to Canadians.
Good wishes to all of you for a lovely autumn weekend - and week ahead.
ole joyful
Funny but in the 1980's I was buying my Volvos in Canada and bringing them to the states. I got about a 35% exchange on my money, a bigger discount from the dealer in Canada and got refunded the manufacturing tax that was supposedly included in the sticker price of the Canadian car. I paid no sales tax or value added tax, but had to pay the US State sales tax. I paid a tariff of 2% or about $280 per car. If I had bought a US brand car manufactured in Canada, there would be no tariff. The funny thing is I was getting such a deal on the cars that a few times I sold the car in the US at one year old for more than I paid for it new. So, for a few years I had a new car for no more out of pocket funds. The New England volvo dealers put pressure on Canadian Volvo and thereafter they would no longer put the proper EPA and DOT stickers on the cars so they couldn't be imported by individuals.
The warranties were good in either country. In fact if you read most vehicle warranties it says that they are good in the US or Canada. My US Volvo dealer told me to bring the car in anytime for warranty work and they would treat me the same as if I had purchased the car from them. They always did....no waiting and no fuss.

Recommend electric baseboard heater?
Can anyone suggest a quality baseboard heater we could install along one wall of the bathroom? It would only be used occasionally on cold winter mornings or nights. We have a baseboard heating unit in the bathroom that's connected to our furnace, but we heat our home primarily with wood, not the furnace, and would like to be able to pump up the heat specifically in the bathroom sometimes. I tried looking at electric baseboard heaters, but what I found looked like temporary units, and I'm looking for something that can be hardwired. Ability to wire it to a timer/switch would be great.
Don't know if this matters, but we would install this on a different wall than where the current baseboard heater is located. We're looking to supplement--not replace--what we already have. The vanity is too far from the shower and throne for an under-vanity heater to be of much use, but there's an empty section of wall opposite the shower and next to the toilet where a baseboard unit would work quite nicely.

2001 BMW 740iLVisitor, Cypress, TX, October 07, 2014 21:20Great Car and able to maintain affordable once you get rid of OEM parts.A new aftermarket part is as much a 70% less than a part from the dealer. My Car is a 1995 has 240,000 miles and runs awesome, I will put it up against any new car. Still gets 22 mpg on highway. That said I live in Texas. The car glues and rubbers were not meant to handle the extreme heat we get down here. Many problems with the interior coming unglued in some areas.. and problem with many of the rubber and plastics just rotting away... guess can be expected with the age of the car...the electronics, wiring, harnasses and such break way to easy. Makes working on it frightful to find the replacement harnasses is tough. The A/C does not cool the car in the high heats and in city driving. Need to do some of your own maintenance on this car to keep it affordable...which is fine with me...gives me a hobby. But the E-38 Chasis is probably one of the best BMW's ever made. The technology is common now and is much easier to maintain then any of the newer BMW's or Mercedes. Easy to repair on most items and is affordable. The clear coat does not hold up in Texas heat either. That said I love the e-38. One of the most beautiful sedans ever made..a true pc. of industrial art. Just have to understand one thing about these Cars...they are designed by Germans. So figure that climate and their nature. Which is meticulous and not disposable. So they will work on their cars and do the easy maintenance themselves.
2001 BMW 740iLVisitor, San Diego, CA, October 06, 2013 20:06Bought this beauty a couple of years ago. Currently has 138500 miles. Still looks and runs great. I've only had to replace the battery and one tie rod end, and replace the two front tires which it needed when I bought the car.
2001 BMW 740iLVisitor, Jackson, NJ, August 26, 2013 19:14To those who wrote (POS)? Obviously your experience is based on how well you take care of your own car or how much abuse it will take from you. If you bought a BMW Used and not certified or thoroughly reviewed and checked out, then who is the POS? You simply bought someone Else's abused headache. The E38 is one of the best cars ever built. I owned 3 bimmers in my life and all different models. I like to maintain what I can and know when I can't. The ingenuity of this car can not be beat. Anyone who compares the nightmare of a Mercedes to a BMW, obviously does not know much about cars. I had a Benz, and never again. Fuse system based on left side and right side? Ludicrous! What is up with the gap in the gas pedal? Do they still do that? Here are some facts on my (E38) BMW 740iL, which is not garage kept at 220,000 miles and 15 years on the east coast of winter cold and summer hot sun. Original parts still with me: no dashboard or leather seat cracks, complete muffler system, engine, paint, BMW rims, interior, drive shaft, transmission, power windows, audio system, power seats & heating units in seats & mirrors, never had a tune up and no squeaks. All running well, awesome idle and smooth riding. There is a ton I didn't mention.. Parts that were changed: radiator, valley Pan, 3 sets of tires, oil at least 3-4 times a year, cabin filters under hood and under dash twice, oil air filter 3 times, brakes front and rear 4 times, air conditioner second fan, idler arms, ball joints, water pump & serpentine belt. I'd like to see your car at 220k.. You can find my Black Beauty on most Bimmer Boards..
2001 BMW 740iLabugsy1, Audubon, NJ, March 22, 2013 11:26i bought this 2001 BMW 740il this year i enjoyed this car. i always get a lot of attention on my beauty. i have over 130,000 miles on it and drives like a new car. i was lucky to get this one because the interior inside is practically brand new. only thing that was broke inside the car was the cup holder i will never use anyway. (too pretty inside to drink in my car)and the driver side controls to move your seat up and back. im talking about the panel is broke not the controls okay! thats minor right. im telling you it's a beauty.the engine compartment is so clean under the hood. i dont what anybody checking my car out because they might touch something wrong. the only thing is that i wanna know where should i get my oil change from. i went to that damn JIFFY LUBE and the didn't know how to open up the hood. can someone tell me where is the best place to get 1 done?Rookie
2001 BMW 740iLVisitor, Sugar Loaf, NY, March 05, 2013 13:07Best driving car ever BUT. You shouldn't defend a manufacturer that can't make a reliable car. Have spent tons on starters, new radiator, lots more. Eats batteries like popcorn. Don't ever buy this car. If you want one, lease and release and then never more that 36 months. Brakes, tires all are outrageous. Go with a Japanese vehicle. NEVER buy one of these. On a positive note..everytime you repair it you want to kill yourself. But when you drive into a tree you come out unharmed. :)
2001 BMW 740iLSea Knight Driver, Eastpointe, MI, January 01, 2013 08:39I have the 740i and absolutely love the car. Granted,I've put a good amount of money into it but I've never regretted spending one single dime. The Basket Weave Wheeels were gone 2 weeks after I bought it and replaced with 19" Style 95 spokes from a 96' 7 Series. I get compliments every where I go and a few offers to buy it on the spot. I bought it with 102,000 miles on it and fully expected to have some issues. The Radiator and expansion tank were replaced at 150K along with the alternator, water pump and drive belts. Next were the Power Steering Hoses. The timing chains (elective) were done at 164K along with the trans (slipping)- both at the same time for $6000. Front Suspension (elective) at 168K, Fuel Filter and OSV @ 170,000. I've ungraded the Nav to the MKIV (save your money on that one). The Body integrity, exterior and interior fit and finish are flawless and it's a dream on the highway. While I don't have a car payment and average out the repair cost per year, it's about $120.00 per month to own - Tell me what new car of this quality that you can buy today for that little. Keep in mind, the car is 12 years old - I'd buy another one in a city minute.Rookie
2001 BMW 740iLVisitor, Seminole, FL, April 24, 2012 15:33Its a BMW..... What are you bitches all crying about? Its a BWM.... It WILL Be expensive to fix and Maintain! Hello???? Its a BMW not a kia...... They are expensive and cost money!!
2001 BMW 740iLVisitor, Lawrence, NY, October 15, 2011 20:42I bought this car off ebay and thought it was god deal. Boy was i wrong. i have already put 3k into the car just with the steering issues. I mean not for nothing, it has 169k miles on it. So it has been around the block. But you know what, i love it. If you do not have the money and the patience to put into this car, then DO NOT BOTHER. SAVE YOUR SELF THE AGGRAVATION. I have no qualms. This is a project car for me. The tranny and other issues are endless. But after it's all done, this car is a beast and easy on the eyes. Faggoudaboutit!! As i said, live within your means. if you dont have the cash, this one is not for you!!
2001 BMW 740iL82NCMARINE, San Jose, CA, July 24, 2011 02:29I HAVE HAD TWO 740'S AND OTHER THAN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE THERE IS NO BETTER CAR TO OWN! I READ THE PUTDOWNS AND I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW THESE PEOPLE FEEL, BUT YOU GET AT YOU PAY FOR! HOW CAN YOU RATE A CAR THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SO LONG AND WITH NO SHOW OF WEAKNESS AS A BAD CHOICE? YOU BUY A CAR THAT ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER DONE OR DIDN'T DO! BOTH OF MINE WERE USED BUT I CAREFULLY CHOSE THEM AS TO THE OWNER AND CONDITION! YOU SPEND $4,800 DOLLARS ON THE FLAGSHIP THAT ALONE SPEAKS VOLUMES! SO I WILL ALWAYS HAVE A BMW IN MY GARAGE. THERE ARE SO MANY NEW CARS OUT THERE, YET WITH ALL THE NEW TECHNOLOGY, IT SEEMS ALL THEY CAN DO IS COPY(LEXUS) EVERYTHING ELSE OUT THERE AND CLAIM IT AS INNOVATIVE! SO SORRY YOU GUYS BOUGHT MISTREATED CARS, BUT IT'S YOUR LOSS!Rookie

2001 BMW 740iLVisitor, Asheboro, NC, December 09, 2010 21:41I just got bought this POS car (2001 BMW 740il). I have owned a older mercedes before (300E), and it was very reliable. Just typical oil changes and brakes, radiator flush, brake flush (all as cheap to do as any other car, the mercedes was a dream really.Had 175K on it, and sold it. Well, I decided I might want a BMW, and went and saw this car. Of course, it is drop dead gorgeous, and I took a little test-drive, It all SEEMED fine. I paid the guy a pretty cheap price, so I thought I got a good deal. WELL, today I took it to the BMW Dealer for a oil change, about an hour later they call me over, Sir, your tie-rods,bushings,ball-joints are shot. Also, you have leaks ALL around the engine. Also, your drain plug is stripped and will need a new pan and plug, gaskets of course. I said, how much to fix it all? How about $4850.00...!!!!!!!!! I said F**K you, I will just re-sell it to the next sucker. I am so pissed, I am just letting it sit in the parking lot, until my title comes in the mail. Of course this doesnt even include the bald tires I need to buy, or the cosmetic trim stuff thats missing around the car. I just want to ram this thing into a tree. I wished I would of read these reviews. I did read some, but they all complained about the sh&%tty navagation, which it is, and the cheap drink - holders that break (and mine are too). It is a Black widow, She has the looks, but when she gets u in her web, she will eat you alive.!! Hate BMW's now forever.!! RUN AWAY from this deadly beast.!!
2001 BMW 740iLVisitor, Carlsbad, CA, December 09, 2010 06:27POS car!!!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY!!!! Unless you have a TON of cash that you can burn! Will most likely never buy a BMW again as a result
2001 BMW 740iLhealey100, Raleigh, NC, November 24, 2010 14:56This is my fourth 7 Series BMW. These cars are not for the faint of heart. When they break, it costs, but I have had very good reliability issues from my first in 1985. With only 4 cars in over 25 years, you might say that I have been happy with the car brand and will continue to purchase a 7 series in the future. Find a good mechanic, do the routine maintenance and take the car in at the first sign of a problem. This will save you money and NOTHING rides better than a 7 Series.Enthusiast

Where to Find Home Security Systems in the UKfrom: Forsgrens
Everywhere in the world, people have need of protection.
This is because crime does not really choose any particular place to occur. (Although some could argue that crime does frequent dark alleys)
If you are looking for home security systems in the UK, you should first start looking in the internet.
A number of online shops and websites offer you home security systems in the UK. With a couple of clicks in the right website, then you could have your home security systems in the UK in no time.

Their products range from alarms to monitoring systems and are assured to be top-of-the-line home security systems in the UK.
They not only offer anti-intrusion and anti-theft devices, they also provide fire-prevention devices. So you can have at least some feeling of total security within your home.
Not only that, they also offer you monitoring services for less than one pound a month!
* http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/b/a/c_143101_home_security.html -this website offers comparative prices home security systems in the UK.
You can just enter the price you are willing to pay, and it will automatically show you the home security systems in the UK available within that price range.
How convenient is that?
* http://www.martleyelectronics.co.uk/homesecurity.html -this website is particularly fun as it does not offer home security systems in the UK in the conventional sense.
What it offers is some intercom devices and a lot of dummy deterrents. Choose from CCTV signs to dummy surveillance cameras.
After all, if your home looks protected, it is as good as being protected, right?
* http://www.adt.co.uk/ -this site offers pretty good security services.
According to them, they can provide security from the smallest home to the largest corporate office.
The advantage to this shop is that it not only offers security systems in the UK, but it also offers business security systems.
They also offer fire and emergency monitoring services to protect you and your home from natural disasters.
After all, other people are not the only dangers, are they?

* http://www.ttsfire.co.uk/ -this site offers a wide range of products, but the company specializes in wireless home security systems in the UK.
As you may know, wireless home security systems are a new technology. These systems are sturdier and have longer ranges than the conventional ōhard-wiredö systems.
The site offers catalogue prices, so you can decide which home security system to get.

Red Sox, Tigers set for pivotal Game 5
Oct 17, 2013, 3:22 PM EDT
Series: Tied 2-2
Where: Comerica Park, Detroit, MI
Gametime: 8:00 p.m.
Radio: ESPN Radio
Weather: Clear, 50 degrees, wind 13 mph
Starting pitchers: BOS – Jon Lester (15-8, 3.75) / DET – Anibal Sanchez (14-8, 2.57)
After the Tigers' offense exploded in a 7-3 win in Game 4, the guys that started this series off with a 1-0 pitchers' duel take the mound tonight for a rematch. Anibal Sanchez and Jon Lester combined to allow one run on six total hits in Game 1, with 16 strikeouts in 12 1/3 total innings. They'll face off again looking to put their team a win away from the World Series.
The rest of this series would seem to favor the Tigers based on starting pitching matchups. Sanchez was the AL ERA champion, he'll take Game 5, and Games 6 and 7 (if necessary) will feature Max Scherzer – a frontrunner for AL Cy Young – and former MVP Justin Verlander. All three Tigers pitchers have been brilliant so far in this series, despite the Red Sox taking two of the three games they started.
Lester, however, has been no slouch this year, especially in the playoffs. Through two starts he's allowed just three earned runs through 14 innings with 11 strikeouts. Though he took the loss in Game 1, it was despite surrendering only one run.
Both teams are probably looking for a little more from some of their best players. David Ortiz of Boston is hitting just .067 in this series, despite his big grand slam in Game 3. That's his only hit in four games and 15 total at-bats.
Prince Fielder has also struggled with only three hits in 15 at-bats. He has only one extra-base hit thus far in this series.

I am again reminded how many throws other team's first basemen have to pick out of the dirt, or take on a short hop.

I clicked over to the game a few times last night, as I have on occasion during the series. Those Sox are some seriously hirsute dudes. The first few times I clicked over, I kept saying, "Wait, *that's* Lackey (or Napoli or [RANDOM PLAYER NAME HERE]?" Didn't recognize a number of them what with the mountain-man beards.
