4.0 out of 5 stars Robin: Year One,
C. Hurley (Ireland) - See all my reviews
Robin: Year One isn't the origin story that the title implies it to be. Unlike Green Arrow: Year One, and Batman: Year One, this book isn't about how Dick Grayson became Robin (for that story you'll have to read Batman: Dark Victory. This story concerns the first major development in Robin's relationship with Batman, and Dick Grayson's relationship with Bruce Wayne.
Opening to the first page of the book you could be forgiven for thinking that this book was written for kids. The art hits you straight away as being extremely cartoony. Gone are the threatening shadows and harsh faces of Batman: Year One, The Man Who Laughs, The Long Halloween, and Dark Victory. More than anything it reminds you slightly of the Batman Animated Series of the early 90s, though the images never feel like there's much movement them. You see the motion lines, but the images don't show much energy in them. Added to that there's very often some difficulty in understanding the images because of the hugh amount of shadows, particularly towards the end.
The story however belies that. Moving swiftly between the first act, involving a child prositution ring and the Mad Hatter, to the second act involving Robin's first, extremely violent and shocking, confrontation with Two-Face and to act three, which I won't spoil. The art doesn't quite gel with the story. The character development between Robin and Batman is dealt with extremely well, and just as importantly, Dick and Bruce's relationship. Added to this you have the fact that the book's narrator is non-other than the silent, loyal Alfred Pennyworth. His father figure stature in the Batman universe is really developed here in a big way, and you really can't help but feel for his dilemma of watching his two adopted sons give up their lives for a thankless crusade for justice. The book isn't about the story, it's all about these three characters, fighting the good fight as best they can.
Ultimately the book is a good one. It's a good addition to the Batman series and is a great addition to those looking for a sequel to Dark Victory. As I've said, the book isn't perfect, the art doesn't seem to fit too well, and often appears a dull and flat. But the story more than makes up for this, and it's a very good story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very satisfying read,
Robin Year One is an extremely good read. The story follows Dick Grayson's first year as Robin and his first tragic encounter with Two-Face and the fall out. I thought the storyline was excellent, loved how the characters were showcased and the artwork was gorgeous; sepia toned old school that they just don't do in an age of comics where all the characters look depressingly dark and broody. Give me the old school artwork any day! Alfred narrates the story which is a lovely touch, as he's a character that's so central to the Batman universe but rarely gets time in the spotlight; and the man is darned funny with that dry, caustic wit!
Only quibble is that sometimes the font used to depict Alfred's handwriting is hard to read, very squiggly cursive. Overall though, Robin Year One rates as one of my favourite comics ever.
5.0 out of 5 stars A well executed retelling of Robins early days,
W-Town "willstown" (Newcastle, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robin Year One TP (Paperback)
Unlike the Batman year one story this book picks up with Dick Grayson already being Robin. For the Origin story see Dark Victory. What we have here are tales from the 1st few adventures Robin has with Batman as his sidekick.
The writing is excellent , particularly the ongoing narrative provided by Alfreds journal entries, though the squiggly font style used for the journal is not particularly reader friendly. As the cover shows the art style throughout is a older style with a smaller colour palette but it really works here.
It's interesting to see Robin grow in to the role, taking on minor jokey villains like Killer-moth, while the story is self aware enough to comment on the lameness of these villains. It's when two-face enters the fray that things get serious and the fact robin is a young boy playing with murderous villains hits home.
Jim Gordons concern over an adolescent as Batmans partner is well judged and there's a great little moment right at the end with a cameo from Barbara Gordon.
Overall this fits in well as a more modern introduction of the 1st Robin into the Batman year one era universe. I would recommend to all bat fans.
5.0 out of 5 stars A great read,
This review is from: Robin Year One TP (Paperback)
Robin: Year One is a great follow up to 'Dark Victory' and 'The Gauntlet', exploring Dick Grayson's early encounters with Mad Hatter, Two-Face and Mr. Freeze. The artwork is reminiscent of Year One, although brighter and more vibrant (I suppose to reflect the youthful optimism of Dick Grayson compared to his mentor's brooding moodiness). Loved this book. Full marks.

4.0 out of 5 stars The legend of Dick Grayson is born...,
Amazon Customer "z_shafiq" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This book more or less picks up from where Batman: Dark Victory ended. Young Grayson has helped Batman catch a criminal is now a side-kick. This volume deals with Robin's training. What I liked most was the portrayal of Dick Grayson attempting to balance his school life and that of being a nocturnal crime-fighter.
The art work is similar to that utilised in Batman Year One so lots of solid inking and bold outlines. I suppose this really makes the story feel like it is continuing the great work initiated by Frank Miller.
It also touches upon Robins first confrontation with Harvey Dent, which will haunt the young lad for the rest of his life. Overall, it is a fitting start to Robin's career, and nicely ends with the introduction of the future Batgirl.

4.0 out of 5 stars The early exploits of Robin.,
Mr. M. A. Sainsbury "marksbros6" (Oxford) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robin Year One TP (Paperback)
This is less an origin story than a story from the early years of Robin's career.
It gives some interesting insight into Dick Graysons life away from Robin, with his school and life at Wayne Manor being featured. Two-Face makes a memorable appearance, and the relationship between Jim Gordon and 'The Boy Wonder' is explored.
As someone who is more familiar with his "Nightwing" persona than Robin I found the history to be a very useful addition to my collection of 'bat-stories.'
The art is more stylistic than life-like. Not at all like Frank Millar's "Batman: Year One." This suits the subject though, Robin was always the more colourful character.
This is an enjoyable story, and would lead quite nicely into a reading of "Batgirl: Year One" as they have a similar art, style and mood.

Discoloration on Capital Culinarian Stainless
I used the back burners on my 48" CC tonight for the first time. The heat left some serious burn marks on the stainless behind the burners. I hit it with some basic cleaning solution and a scrub pad and it didn't touch it. I wanted to get some advice before I broke out the stronger stuff like Bar Keepers Friend. Also, is this going to happen every time I use the stove?
You aren't going to be able to clean that very well, it's been heated to the point that the metal has changed properties. Over heating SS can degrade it's ability to resist rust. I've welded quite a bit of stainless and in the area surrounding the weld it's no longer able to prevent oxidation as it use to and looks a lot like that. I'd be curious to hear what others have to say.
There are countless ranges out there with stainless cooktops ... is this what they can be expected to look like after use? I've never had a stainless cooktop, but if this is true, I don't think I'd want to consider one. I actually thought that stainless would be easier to clean than those porcelain cooktops. Is this not the case, seriously?
There's actually quite a bit of information on the web regarding heating/overheating SS. Here's one snippet:
Concerning the tint that often shows up on surgical stainless steel cookware, we assure you that your cookware is not damaged when it acquires this tint.
The color tint is very common, and is formed when stainless steel is heated, not always, but sometimes over a length of time. The colors are related to the oxidation of the steel. The heat tint or temper color formed is actually a progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as the temperature is increased over time, the colors usually change. Many experts on surgical stainless steel say that the bluish tint is a tempering of the surface of the steel as a result of overheating, and cannot be removed.
That would not sit well with me either. Perhaps the SS edge is too close to the burner? Maybe it doesn't matter in a commercial application, but when you are spending the big $$ for a capital culinary, it does. I suspect you are like many on this forum who not only buy the Pro style ranges for both utility, but also for looks.
Also, I hat to open up a can of worms.... but perhaps the grade of stainless might be a factor. Any folks with metallurgy acumen care to comment? Do they use 304 ( higher grade) or 430 ( lower grade ) SS to make that trim.
I have attached a photo of my ( uncleaned )13 year old Dacor DRS30 Cooktop. Perhaps one of the "cleanest" tops ever designed. Not one seam on the entire top. It has a beaded SS finish unlike the typical straight line finish. Cleaning is a snap... Bar Keeper Friend or Comet/Ajax makes no difference. The finish is unaffected. IMHO, best cooktop finish and the only finish for me in the future. Dacor nolonger makes it. They onlyu offer their ranges with a baked enamel finish. However, DCS does.... which is what I will be getting.
On a side note, I stopped by a friend's home this weekend who had the Wolf 30" Dual Fuel Range. I think it was around 5 or 6 years old... .the cooktop under the burners. Their enamel cooktop had badly visible scratches everywhere.
If the vinegar and salt approach (that I've never heard of, but seems plausible) doesn't work, then the next step is phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid is the primary ingredient of car body cleaners (MetalPrep type) that are used before priming metal. Auto parts places selling to the body shop trade will have a PPG or DuPont version. Follow all directions, both for dilution and safety.
None the less, no matter how well it is restored, discoloration will reoccur if enough heat is present, so maybe restoration is best done a day before showing off the kitchen. The phosphoric acid odor will linger for a while, depending on your ventilation.
If you've never seen that on your cooking surfaces before, then you've never had the equipment to truly cook at a high heat. All of the professional restaurant ranges look like that. And, hopefully, you bought your range because you want to see restaurant results in your home. If you bought or are considering buying a range more for looks than function, then you should go with something with less BTU's.
I would seriously consider getting a non-combustible surface up behind the range.
I wouldn't let the SS color bother me either.
Dual fuel--I have a 7 yr old Wolf DF range. I clean my cooktop with non abrasives and it has zero scratches. Not sure why your friends is so scratched.
I had this happen to my Culinarian when I had my 14" X 23" Chef King Griddle on the left two burners with both burners on high searing some tuna.
I used some Fllitz Metal Polish I had and it did a pretty good job. All of the blue and yellow color is gone but the finish is a little smoother and shinier than the rest of the back-splash. While it is a little different is is a lot better than having the blue and yellow stains.
Have you contacted Capital they may have a better solution?
I stand corrected ;-) I would seriously think about getting a fire resistant surface behind the range.

Hey, to go back to they yeasty flavor, I just finished my first brew, a Hefe, and after letting it sit in the primary for a week and a half, then another 1.5 weeks in the secondary, and another week in the bottles I cracked one open today for my birthday.
There was a strong yeasty smell and taste to the beer. The beer still tasted decent, but nothin that I would really want to give to my friends. Not sure if this is because I just didn't let the beer age enough , or i did something wrong. Any reassurance would be helpful, thanks!
"I wish it were winter so we could freeze it into ice blocks and skate on it and melt it in the spring time and drink it!"
Probably just needs a couple of more weeks in the bottles. Let us know how they turn out.
Haha, yeah, the week in the bottle taste, nothing like it, and it is quite temporary.
Don't forget too, if you are brewing a whit, your yeast is going to favor the banana yeasty flavor for a while. Even after 1month. Advise: let it sit for at least 8 weeks in bottles. By that time, your whit will be phenominal.

And how you decided which character he'd play in it
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson wants to thank the fans for swaying him – ha! See! Nah, you probably don't, go read "Caffeinated Clint" and you'll see what I'm talking about – towards the character of Black Adam, not Captain Marvel, in the upcoming "Shazam" movie. Do you all know what I'm talking about? No? Well, that film's director Peter Segal had offered The Rock either role in the film…. The big guy just couldn't decide which one to play, so he asked the fans. Their response? "Bad guy, Mr Big Bones".
The big guy tells About.com, "What I did, they first approached me about playing Captain Marvel and they also said, 'And there's also this interesting character too called Black Adam.' This was about a year ago while we were on the set of Get Smart," said Johnson who worked with Shazam! director Segal on the film adaptation of the classic TV Get Smart series. "I said, 'Oh, okay, great.' We went down to Comic Con to show the trailer of Get Smart and down there, talking to all the fans, they were like, 'You should really look into Black Adam.' So I said to a writer or journalist, 'Well, right now I think it's just up to the fans. They should just let me know.' And they let me know in spades. 'You should be Black Adam!' Great, and then that dictated to the studio, to the director."
Rocko also speaks about the chances of a "Game Plan" and "Witch Mountain" sequel at the site. Clickie the linkie.

The cloud wars battle rages on. Gartner predicts that one in four cloud providers will be gone by 2015, making this a very high stakes battle for all concerned. The 800lb gorillas, AWS, IBM, Google, Microsoft, et al. continue their efforts for dominance. The latest salvo has been a price war between Google, AWS and Microsoft for their services. Pricing is spiraling downward at breakneck speeds. The others are sure to follow. Into this fog of war, another player has been working on winning the hearts and minds of customers and developers. SalesForce.com, one of the first and best known Software as a Service (SaaS) vendors, has set its sights on becoming the platform of choice for cloud development and deployments.
Will they succeed? They definitely can be considered a gorilla in their own right, approaching $5B in sales, and with a reported 1.5M developers, should not be taken lightly. Their approach is having an impact in the battle, forcing the other vendors and the industry to re-think how they look at cloud services, and could ultimately change the battlefield tactics in the ongoing cloud wars. To understand how a CRM vendor rose to that level of impact, becoming a contender in the cloud wars, one must trace their roots.
This Is Not Your Father's CRM
I know I am dating myself, but there was a time I worked in the industry when customer relationship management was literally a sales person's rolodex. Then, in the early 1990s, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) came into being as a concept. We graduated to digital rolodexes and small marketing applications like ACT. CRM really started to take off in the mid-90s when large ERP vendors such as Oracle and SAP joined the game. These vendors wanted to leverage their size and installed an ERP base to fuel the growth. CRM systems like those were large in-house applications with a myriad of marketing and sales services being added along the way.
Salesforce.com took CRM in a very different direction when they were founded in 1999. They were one of the first companies to truly push the SaaS model with their 'End of Software' marketing pitch and campaign. While we take SaaS for granted nowadays, this was a pretty radical approach at the time. To set some context, in 1999
- Approx four percent of the world's population was on the Internet
- Google had been founded just six months prior
- Amazon.com had been around for approximate five years (AWS was still seven years away)
Eleven years later, Salesforce.com rose to become the industry market leader in CRM, bypassing the ERP stalwarts SAP and Oracle, capturing 14 percent marketshare according to Gartner. In that timeframe their name became synonymous with SaaS (think, how many presentations on the cloud have you seen that give Salesforce.com as an example of SaaS?).
May the Force Be with You
In 2007, Salesforce.com again took the cloud industry by storm launching Force.com. Force.com provided a mechanism for customers and partners to build cloud-hosted applications that could easily integrate with the Salesforce.com core systems. Just as Salesforce.com had become synonymous with SaaS, Force.com led the way into the Platform as a Service (PaaS) world (some even credit Salesforce.com founder Mark Benioff as coining the term PaaS). According to Salesforce.com, within three years they had over 300,000 developers that had written over 180,000 custom applications. Recent reports have them at 1.5M developers. At their recent DreamForce 2013 conference, there were 130,000+ registered attendees from 84 countries and 350 partner companies participating.
Gartner's latest magic quadrant for Enterprise PaaS places Salesforce.com as the industry leader. Gartner views one of their key strengths as having the "...longest strategic and successful presence in the cloud application and platform markets. This gives salesforce.com the name recognition and reputation that, for many prospects, translate to a safe choice in the otherwise immature and unsettled PaaS market." The have become the 'safe' choice, just as in decades past the 'nobody got fired for buying IBM' concept.
This does not mean they are a perfect solution. One of my favorite phrases is "Everything is a tradeoff," and the Salesforce.com PaaS offering is no different. It is built around a proprietary cloud native relational DBMS (which is the underlying DBMS for the Salesforce.com product suite as well). Gartner cautions 'The proprietary nature of the Force.com platform deters adoption by many independent application development projects seeking to avoid vendor lock-in and prevents application migration projects from utilizing the platform.'
The Convergence of IaaS and PaaS, Changes in the Battlefield?
A recent article in Network World, 'Is the PaaS Market as we know it dying?', discusses changes and trends that are happening in the IaaS and PaaS space. The article raises the theory that these two major cloud models are moving towards consolidation. David Linthicum reinforces that viewpoint. He describes it as 'PaaS isn't dying, it's becoming part of IaaS'. As the ongoing price wars between the IaaS gorillas continues, it reduces IaaS to just a commodity item. Differentiators are needed to attract customers (and developers) to use this commodity for their cloud applications and deployments. Some of those differentiators can be platform services to facilitate development and application marketplaces to provide customers with easier transition to the cloud environments. IBM recently announced such a marketplace, and added PaaS to their portfolio with the acquisition of SoftLayer last year.
These differentiators are how Salesforce.com has been marketing and selling Force.com and what has made them the industry leader in the PaaS space. They have had their own marketplace, called AppExchange, with over 2,200 partner built applications including integrations with all the key social media technologies such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. The convergence of the IaaS and PaaS models can potentially play to SalesForce.com's sweet spot and make them a strong competitor to all the other 800lb gorillas in the ongoing cloud wars.
Will this be enough? Time will tell. The cloud market is not going away. Gartner predicts that cloud spending from 2013 to 2016 will be $677 billion worldwide. There is a lot at stake, so the cloud wars will continue for some time. SalesForce.com is more than capable of holding its own against the other 800lb gorillas in the ongoing battle for the cloud market share. Salesforce.com was born of the cloud and has not looked back nor rested on their laurels. When the predicted shakeout occurs, I think they will still be one of the ones left standing.
Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

Looking for Love in All the Gay Places
If laughter is the best medicine, Eddie Campbell's book 44 Horrible Dates is the perfect prescription for anyone who finds being single a giant pain. Campbell went from documenting the love lives of fictional characters in the 2010 coffee-table read Days of Our Lives 45 Years: A Celebration in Photos (with co-author Greg Meng) to writing about his own less-than-successful track record of going out with one loser dude after another, debunking the myth that gay men have it easier than straight folks. "Growing up in Los Angeles is like growing up in an amusement park without any rides visually entertaining without a lot of substance," writes the 30-something L.A. resident. "Dating in L.A. is even more awkward and fucked up." (Try living with the added pressure of having to spew a baby from your loins.) Campbell dedicates a chapter to each suitor's special quirk: "Rich AKA: Grocery Store Stalker"; "Vince AKA: Eighty Dollar Chicken Salad"; "Kevin AKA: Angry Bottom." Farters, toe suckers, coke snorters the list of freaks goes on. Perhaps none was stranger than the guy who wanted a hot dog inserted someplace where the mustard don't shine. Not surprisingly, Campbell is still single, which is good news if you read this paper, unless you also like reading the adult ads in the back. Poor man's been through enough. Campbell reads from his book at Book Soup, 8818 Sunset Blvd., W. Hlywd.; Mon., June 18, 7 p.m.; free, book is $14.99. (310) 659-3110.

Yeah, it was written up right before the site change and never quite made it over...I got busy with a few other reviews and had forgotten all about it.
Well i'll be a monkeys uncle (hangon, i'll just get a mirror), post one day and the review is there the next! Cool!
I've just approved Matt's review if anyone wants to read it.
Thanks Matt!
It was released to all other retailers on Nov. 8th.
As far as I know, its a Best Buy exclusive. It may have changed since I saw it though.
I'm very, very rarely on Skype, so you would have better luck contacting me either through Yahoo! Messenger (my username is grottoboy) if you have it or through my e-mail address here at the site. Just be patient with getting a reply though, I'm fairly erratic when it comes to sitting in front of the computer for any length of time and usually only check my e-mail once per day.
Matt..is there any chance you're on SKYPE nay time..i try to contACT you BUT NO LUCK JET..SO ??
This reminds me of something...but to answer your question, the only extras that come with the set are a series of television spots that aired on Fox when the series originally aired.

2001 BMW 5 Series Review
It is not the specs or the numbers, drive it for a week and you'll know.
Repairs (few were needed) are costly.
At 170k Miles There Was Cam Chain Noise And I Sold It. Mistake! — It was the perfect car for me, others woud prefer the Lexus I now drive. I wish I had kept the 530. A strong Mustang could beat it in acceleration, but it would take a Ferrari to out handle it and the brakes were fantastic! My Lexus has four buttons to open the sunroof but they do not work as well as the single button on the BMW. My Lexus feels like it was designed my a marketing team, and the BMW like it came from engineers. More thought and less flash.

Bmw E39 530i Se Manual — the picture above is not my car. couldn uplode a pick of mine on computer ????? my car is a 2001 .petrol 530i se 232bhp it has coverd just over the 100.000 miles. and she is still going strong. doesnt use a drop of oil and still returns around 30 mpg on combined cycle. there really is vey little to complain about, so here i go. errrm ..... cup holders in rear are notorious for being rubbish and break easy. 18inch wheels on mine and with that you need to replace the rear ones roughy each year. all depends on miles coverd and what tire you using. so research into it. another common problem is the final stage unit in the heater/ blower. also known as hedgehog. a cheap and easy fix . there really is nothing to grumbe about. so as a whole the e39 is a very good car and better than most modern up to date rivals. it has everything you could ever want in a car. and more depending on spec. look for SE spec. as you will find alot of toys, mine has the comms pack/ winter pack/ so bluetooth and built in phone sat nav. winter pack includes a timer for the car to defrost the windows i have mine set at 0545am as i finish work at 6am. so i just get in and drive away no scraping. exelent . the list of gadgets is endless so i will write a few. quad climate controll. air con. cruise controll. also includes a option of having a set distance away from car infront. it will apply the breaks for you if car in front starts to slow down. very rare on e39. park distance controll. front and rear parcking sensors. traction controll/ stability controll. heated mirrors / washers/ steering wheel/ seats. front and rear screens. not a gadget you could want for. in my opinion the car is beautiful very elegant and agressive at the same time. the interior is the same beautiful. leather or cloth , all the instrumant and dials in perfect position. very well built , you just try and pull it apart. (good luck) not a squeak or rattle from anywere it is very fast when you want it to be yet it is also a very quiet luxery car . it handels beautiful. 50/50 weight distribution. when driving you know as a driver what each wheel is doing loads of feedback without any fuss. you will find yourself driving it the long way home just to drive it and you will never get boord. if you are going to buy a bmw e39, make shure it has a full history . and lookd after, tho most have been as there owners do fall in love with them. check all elec toys as all cars get elec gremlims, when on test drive listen for knocking suspension . if you hear any noise from suspension. it will be worn bushes. cheap and easy fix, but do negotiate discount as it is common on all bmw. in a nutshell. brilliant car really hard to find anything wrong with it. all reviews made against the e39 98% were positive.

Looks, handling, practicality (may not be in that order).
Having to explain my choice.
The Aristocrats' Bimmer. — When time came to trade in my track toys, in this case, a '99 BMW M Coupe (yes, the funning looking 2 seater) for a more practical, yet equally exclusive and high performing vehicle, nothing fits the bill better than the Individual Series BMW 540i Touring with M Sport Package. This wagon is painted in M Series exclusive Carbon Black colour, with black Montana (ordinary top grain) leather and sporty brushed aluminum trims. What make this car exclusive are the lowered and stiffened suspension, front and rear M5 spoilers/bumpers, and a more aggressive final drive ratio. The results, a wagon that handle like (and superior to in many aspects) an M5 with a fewer horsepower (100 hp) and one less gear ratio. The handling is actually more superior due to the stiffer rear suspension (designed originally to limit travel and to withstand heavier payload, employing adjustable air springs). Also being 200 lbs. lighter than an M5, this wagon is noticeably more tossable in turns and can be driven harder. Due to the lack of limited slip differential (standard on the M5), it is much harder to power slide the rear end out of turns making driving sideways less often practiced than an M5. Its pick-up is still amazing, especially when you consider how effortless it is due to the automatic transmission taking care of all the tricky bits. It certainly felt faster in the straight than all the 6 cylinder M cars I used to own. There are a few odd short comings related to its chassis dynamic: the front end geometry seems to be less tolerant to wider rim/tire/traction setup and tends to wander when the pavements are crowned (while the M5 using even wider tires did not exhibit this characteristic); and the rear end, at times, can be too jiggly and unsettling giving the car a "truck like" ride. All-in-alll, this is the aristocrats' bimmer - quite often people ask "When you can afford a 5 series bimmer, why waste your fortune on a wagon", and I usually tell them "... because I have choices." and I quite often wonder why people choose SUVs and give up precise handling, safety, and precious cargo room!

have to take very good care, expensive to maintain
Bmw — This car has been running great since we bought it, but recently we have run in to many problems. I got two flat tires in the span of 2 weeks, my battery died, and I have just had to be very careful with it. This may just be the servicing (which is very expensive) and is not worth it.

Expensive car
2001 Bmw 530i — I have had my 530i for 1 years now. It has been a solid reliable car. It handles really nicely and has tons of power even for having an automatic transmission. The interior is spacious and is very well appointed in leather and only a small amount of wood trim. It seems just right. The quality of the materials are great. My car has about 86000 miles on it and the interior still looks very close to new. There are no rips or tears in the leather, really no signs of wear at all. The car is in great condition.

Repairs can be pricey. Fortunately, we haven't had any really big ticket items.

three week old kittens
I posted a few weeks ago about a cat having kittens in my fiance's garage. The mama cat and two kittens are still in a little "cat house" on the back deck. We've been feeding mama cat regularly but she is so skinny. She will leave the kittens alone if we are out in the yard and will follow us around. I'm concerned about her kittens though. I've been reading some things on kitten development and it says by the third or fourth week they are walking around and exploring etc. One of my cats was found alongside the road at 4 weeks old and he was already eating solid food and running around playing etc. These kittens are estimated to be three weeks old. They opened their eyes late last week. They will walk around their enclosure a little (their legs shake) but mostly they just sleep (curled up together). They will nurse whenever mama lays down with them.
I have handled them both and one is a little timid and cries for his mother and the other doesn't seem to mind, seems a little curious although he would hiss at me when I reached in the box to get him. They don't see active at all and I'm not sure if this is normal. They are either three weeks or going on three weeks old (they opened their eyes completely last week.) I don't know if it is a case of the mother not getting enough food (we feed her canned and dry) and we feed her until she doesn't want anymore to eat.
Should we buy kitten formula to supplement their diet? It is normal for them to sleep all the time?
They usually open their eyes when they're about 9 days old, so they may not even be 3 weeks yet...
which would mean that they really are infant babies, so wobbly legs & sleeping most of the time would be normal.
(If you want to get kitten supplement, I'd say give it to the mother cat!)
Momma cat will look skinny and scraggly after having kittens.Look what she has been through and feeding several babies is hard on a Mommy.LOL My Vet recommends feeding the mother kitten food for a few weeks before kittens are born and continue until the kittens are weaned.
I hope momma isn't already pregnant again.
The kittens are probably 2 - 2.5 wks old. If you do handle them now, wash your hands. Otherwise, socializing can wait till they are about 4 wks old. They are too vulnerable right now, and should do mainly eating and sleeping
IF they cry a lot, then yes, KMR would be a good idea - mom cat might not be catching up
Otherwise, if they sleep a lot, they are content and mom is feeding them just fine
Mom cat will be skinny for some time, as she is spending a lot of time feeding...She will start getting fatter once kittens are not as demanding/eating on their own
Mom needs a lot of fluids: water, KMR, goats milk, wet food - all are very useful
Once kittens weaned, do spay the mom!
You can and should handle the kittens now. Gently. Always wash your hands after handling any animal.
Kitten food for mom will be sufficient. You can start offering the kittens wet kitten food with KMR mixed in as soon as they begin to explore and stand straight, at 3-4 weeks.
I recommend getting this family off the street into a foster or shelter for the best future for all of them.
Thanks for the replies. They are at least 3 weeks old. We found them on the 5th and they were a few days old then. They do seem to sleep a lot so they must be getting enough to eat. I have handled them probably once a day for the last few days. One of the kittens had his eye sealed shut twice by this gunk and I had to remove it. The mother has an eye that is runny so they probably have some type of infection. I need to take them to the vet (I have an ointment for one of my adult cats that had an eye infection/illness earlier this year but don't want to use it on the kittens as they are so young.) But at the moment I can't afford to take them to the vet (my vet charges a $50 office visit for EACH cat). They do walk around their "house" a little bit to change sleeping positions or to cuddle with each other. Their legs are very wobbly. Their little ears are still sort of flattened to their headds so they are definately younger than I originally thought they were. I bought KMR and have given some to the mama cat (who doesn't care for it). I tried to bottle feed one of the babies but he didn't take to it. I'm feeding the mama cat three cans of wet food a day and all the dry food she wants to eat.
Yesterday when I was holding one of her babies he kept crying and she was very nervous and kept "talking" to him and licking him and he still cried and she started panting really hard like she was nervous. After I fixed his eye, I put him back in the box and he was fine. He seemed to perk up after I got his other eye open. None of them are sneezing or showing any respiratory illness, just have gunk in their eyes and mama's eye is very watery.
The mama cat now tries to run into the house every time we open the door. Seems she wants to escape from her kittens!
Yesterday when I came home from work, the neighbor's dog had gotten loose (this big hound dog) and was in our yard. He was barking and barking. Mama cat (her kittens are behind the house) was in the front yard literaly six inches from this dog's face. She was crouched down and hissing at the dog. But she would not flee. The dog didn't know what to do so he was just barking obnoxiously. I've never seen a cat just stand there in front of a big noisy dog like that before. She will also challenge the neutered male cat (even when he's not near her kittens) by getting right in his face and growling.

USNS Matthew Perry (T-AKE-9) is a Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship of the United States Navy, named in honor of Commodore Matthew C. Perry (1794–1858), who led the effort to open Japan to trade with the West.[2]
The contract to build Matthew Perry was awarded to National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) of San Diego, California, on 30 January 2006. Her keel was laid down on 3 October 2008. She was launched and christened on 16 August 2009, sponsored by Hester Evans, a great-great-great granddaughter of Commodore Perry.
Matthew Perry was one of several participating in disaster relief after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[3] During the 21 days of operations, Matthew Perry completed 17 separate replenishment events, delivering more than 1.5 million US gallons (5,700 m3) of fuel and transporting relief supplies.[4]

Nike – just did it
Mr DRG is quite the trainer connoisseur, having spent far too much time and money on them during the first wave of sneaker-freakery back in the day. Here's his guest post on his latest Nike fixation…
I love the way that Nike has been updating classics from its archives over the last few years. Not such a stange statement you might think, but this comes from someone whose mantra is a fixed, 'don't mess with a classic, it's classic for a reason'. Yet Nike is pulling it off, time and time again. Continue reading

Slippers for hipsters: Mahabis
I stumbled on these Mahibis slippers via a Facebook ad of all things. But I think they're really cool.
After being subjected to three 'ageing raver' DJ types having a serious discussion about slippers a while ago, I said 'someone needs to hurry up and exploit this market'. I was thinking along the lines of Stussy, Junya or Nike even, the brands that people of my generation grew up with and respect, because we want comfy slippers, but we also still love our credible brands and aren't ready for Bhs.
While we wait for Stussy et al, in stepped Mahabis. Just launched this summer, these indoor-outdoor slippers look like a hybrid of old school Keds, felt Birkenstocks and those neoprene sock shoes you wear on the beach. Continue reading

Paris Fashion Week: the Lanvin AW14 re-see
One of my highlights of Paris Fashion Week was the Lanvin AW14 re-see. On a huge scale, this is where you get to see the commercial workings of Fashion Week at play, where buyers view the pieces they're really going to stock, and write their orders on the spot. The vast space (a 1920s former railway depot) was a hive of activity, it even had a pop-up café to keep the buyers and clerks fed and watered while crunching those numbers.
I was guided through both the catwalk collections and the commercial collections so I could see the pieces close up and learn what sells and what doesn't. Continue reading

Clippers to meet with O.J. Mayo, Carl Landry on Tuesday
Jul 2, 2013, 1:00 PM EDT
The Clippers re-signing of Chris Paul to a max contract in free agency this summer was only the beginning of their plans to add talent and tweak the roster so that it's more immediately ready to compete for a championship under new head coach Doc Rivers.
The decision of whether or not to trade reserve guard Eric Bledsoe, who many around the league believe will evolve into a starting talent that the Clippers will be unable to afford to keep very soon, is being mulled by Rivers, but he'd like to keep him in the short term to see exactly what he's got.
That hasn't stopped Rivers from scheduling meetings with players they'd likely need to deal Bledsoe for in order to add to the roster — he reportedly met with J.J. Redick on Monday, and has a lunch date with O.J. Mayo on Tuesday.
RT @Chris_Broussard: Source: Doc Rivers and OJ Mayo meeting for lunch today. Clips & Mavs currently talking about a Mayo-for-Bledsoe swap
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 2, 2013
Mayo is an unrestricted free agent, and L.A would likely need to work out a sign-and-trade in order to get him. The Mavericks are looking for immediate talent additions to avoid missing the playoffs again in one of Dirk Nowitzki's final seasons, so they'd likely want a young talent like Bledsoe back in return for Mayo's services.
Another free agent the Clippers are looking at is Carl Landry, who is coming off a nice season as a reserve for the Warriors.
Carl Landry meets w/ Doc Rivers and Clippers tonight, sources tell Y! Free agent forward was a favorite of Chris Paul's w/ New Orleans.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 2, 2013
Landry is an unrestricted free agent as well, though his salary range might make it so that L.A. can add him without parting ways with Bledsoe.
We'll see how it all shakes out, but one thing is clear: The Clippers are in championship-or-bust mode, and that feels really strange to say.
- quickrespond - Jul 2, 2013 at 1:09 PM
Clippers really stocking up for a disappointing season sad to say.
- pmx8411 - Jul 2, 2013 at 2:04 PM
I guess Mayo is not in the same page as Cuban
- anhdazman - Jul 3, 2013 at 10:02 AM
Dang it, Landry would make the Clippers a much more complete team. I really hope this doesn't happen.

I think you will really like "Girl Gone" by Gillian Flynn...
Oh thanks! I did enjoy the Jacob book, and I actually heard about Girl Gone elsewhere recently. Going to add it to my Kindle samples!
I"m on the wait list for it at the library. I've read both her previous books; she's an, um, interesting stylist as a writer. Very dark. This book certainly has gotten great reviews-am interested to see how it reads.

A few times a week, Baltimore bicyclist Brian Wilkerson, 31, can be found hopping logs and carving turns on the scenic, off-road trails around Loch Raven Reservoir.
Alex Wang just moved to Baltimore this year, and running in the Baltimore Marathon gave her an opportunity to be involved in one of the city's major events.
After enduring a series of hills in the second half of the course, Brian Rosenberg slowed when he reached mile 20 of Saturday's Baltimore Marathon.
They crossed the finish line together, father and son, having completed the marathon Saturday in 3 hours, 53 minutes and 52 seconds. Not a bad time considering Chris Brennan pushed 12-year-old Ryan the whole way in a running stroller.

Editorial: Don't miss the county fair
The Pierce County Fair is almost here and everyone in this area should consider attending this major summer event, which involves people from throughout the county.
In its 128th year, the fair's a grand event with something for everybody. Most activities begin Thursday, Aug. 11, and continue through Sunday, Aug. 14, at the fairgrounds in Ellsworth. It's not the "Ellsworth Fair," as fair goers will find communities countywide represented in many of the attractions.

FBI: 'Granddad Bandit' captured in Louisiana
BATON ROUGE, La. -- The so-called "Granddad Bandit" suspected of robbing banks in 13 states eluded authorities for about two years even as he stayed in plain, unremarkable sight.
