<- 1996 MKIII Jetta 2.0L stock. btw I've read the first page of the fuel trim info page @ http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1201806
I'm at the 125 mile mark on this tank and my gauge is past half empty. Not quiet at 1/4 yet though.
I should note that I cleaned the MAF and throttle body 6 months ago to try to help smooth out a rough idle (it was staying up near 1,200 rpm). It helped at least for a little while but then went back to a higher idle of about 1,100.
Since then I've replaced the oil cooler seal and dip stick tube which seemed to help with the idle problems (after it had warmed up it stayed at 900 rpm last time). Though last night when I was out there on a cold start idle stayed at 1,100 or so.

I've been searching around the forums and people have been saying to check the measure value block. in VAG-COM, go into 01- Engine, then 04 - value blocks, then read 032. ... but the shareware version seems to prohibit that. I noted when I took the air box cover off there was some more oil in the filter, not alot mind you, should I try cleaning the MAF again?
Can anyone give me a better idea of whats wrong before I have to go a) learn to trace hoses and b) go check for vacuum leaks in the cold today?
I also saw someone mention the fuel filter, I have all the paperwork (i think) for the cars service history, is there a usual lifetime on fuel filters? It's been in Virginia all its life I think, in case the gas around here has extra contaminants etc.
Thanks for any help.
Okay from more searching it looks like it might just be a gas cap?

needing some advice on gearing for my jeep
I have a 75 CJ5 that I use for mudd bogg competitions. I have it set up with a BBC and a turbo 350 tranny and the dana 300 transfer case. My question is I want to run different gears in the front to make the tires spin faster. right now I am runing 410 in the front and rear. I am also using 35 boggers. I was wondering if I could leave the 410's in the front and maybe use like a 373 gear in the back??? Remember this will only see mudd NO pavement. If need be I can shift it into 2 wheel drive to get to the starting line. But still that will be on dirt NOT pavement. Or if anyone has any suggestions on which gears I should put either the front or the back any help would be appreciated. Right now with the 410's in it I can turn 7000 in second gear and 5700 in drive. So I am open to anything that will help out
Your question of the 4.10s in the front and 3.73s in the rear would let you float the front up on top of more mud like I am assuming you want to do.
Have you seen trucks with much more aggressive tread cutting done on the front tires? this also helps out in keeping the front end up like you want it to be in the mud drags.
I am also wondering what you are doing for traction aiding differentials, you are certainly using something there, gearing differences between the front and rear like you are asking about will act like a locker or spool in a single axle on a turn, you will have to get used to the handling differences coming into and out of the lanes, but once you get lined up and slam on the go pedal, your Jeep will want to follow those front tires no matter what you do, just like you want.
for my class they won't let me cut on the tires I wish they would though. What doyou mean by (I am also wondering what you are doing for traction aiding differentials). BUt from what you are saying it can be done with out any harm??? Can I leave it in for wheel drive to get to the line or should I drive it in t2 wheel. Its on the dirt never any pavement
If you still have 2WD available to use, use it off the mud and where you need to make sharp low speed turns like the pits and such, wherever you don't have the mud or loose dirt to help the tires slip, shift into 2.
I also just got done looking at your album, it looks like you are running Boggers, you shouldn't have a problem on harder surfaces with them slipping a little I have TSL's and they will break loose pretty easily with a little right foot.
At the RPM's you are running- traction aiding differentials are pretty much necessary, you didn't state that, I was thinking in type. I'm just curious on what axles you are running under the Jeep.
I have J10 jeep truck axles underneath. They are the dana 44.
If you want the fronts to spin faster, the 3:73's go in the front, not the rear
Daves Hot rod Shop KC Mo.
OH ok thanks. I just figured since the 373 were a higher gear they would go in the back and the 410 would go in the front
UH, yeah- brain fart on my part, the faster spinning axle should be the front axle, and 3.73 times per revolution IS faster than 4.10.
ok so know you hve me confused LOL. The 410 in front and 373 in back???
You want the front tires to spin faster, with 4.10's in the rear axle and 3.73's in the front axle you will be spinning the front faster like you would want.
At just 1000 RPM's and a direct 1 to 1 transmission drive ratio, the rear tires with 4.10 gears would be spinning 243.90 RPM's, and the front tires with 3.73 gears would be spinning at 268.09 RPM's.
At 6000 RPM's your 35 inch tires would be spinning at 167.5 MPH with 3.73 gears and 152.4 MPH with 4.10 gears.
with faster spinning tires on the rear it will be next to impossible to control as the rear will want to come around on you all the time, the faster spinning tires on the front will want to drag the rear straight behind it at all times.
ok I gotcha thanks alot. I really appreciate it. Just trying to figure what to do this winter to make it better for next season
might try running boggers on back and tsl's on front
I have tried that and no luck
but you havent tried it with the gear swap.just say you do the swap and run 373s in the front with the boggers when they bite spinning faster that the rear what you reckon is going to happen? run the more aggressive tires on the slower spinning wheels and tsl's on the faster wheels...also what type of mud are yall running in up there? looks like red clay but i really cant tell maybe more sandy than the clay?
I have gone to a new place this year and its more mud than anything. Maybe a little bit of clay but more dirt than anything else. If the bite I better hold on to my rearend cause I am going to go for a ride LOL

Viableware, innovators of the RAIL – a pay-at-the-table solution designed exclusively for full-service restaurants – has unveiled an updated version of its RAIL payment device that accommodates for the use of EMV smart card payments. The enhanced RAIL device is engineered to accept any chip-based payment card from the table and securely communicate with the leading restaurant POS systems – including MICROS, NCR Aloha, Squirrel and Dinerware – strengthening customer security and mitigating restaurant liability for credit card fraud.
Sonny's BBQ, one of the largest and most popular barbeque restaurant companies in the country, is piloting the new RAIL payment device in select restaurants located throughout the southeast.
"There's no doubt that EMV is a forcing function for heightened security in the restaurant industry," said Joe Tenczar, VP of Information and Technology, and CIO at Sonny's Franchise Company (Sonny's Real Pit BBQ) in Winter Park, Florida. "At Sonny's BBQ, we intend to protect our customers at all costs and we simply can't afford to ignore this shift in the industry; you need to protect your customers at all costs. Technology that accomplishes this, such as the RAIL, is no longer 'nice to have' – it's now a 'must-have.'"
EMV (Europay, MasterCard® and Visa®) chip credit cards are embedded with a microchip and require a PIN and a signature to complete the transaction process. The EMV-enabled RAIL device will communicate with the chip inside the customer's smart card to determine whether or not the card is authentic. A cardholder's confidential data is much more secure on a chip-enabled payment card than a magnetic stripe card as a result of this dynamic authentication capability.
The RAIL is a handheld device designed to look like the traditional bill presentation folder used at most full-service restaurants – but unlike the original folder, the RAIL allows guests to securely self-swipe credit, debit or smart cards, auto-calculate the tip, split the bill multiple ways, pay-by-item, and receive email receipts.
It's estimated that there are more than 400,000 full-service restaurants in the United States that are expected to need an EMV solution before October 2015 – when MasterCard and Visa will begin holding merchants who have not adopted chip-enabled technology financially liable for card fraud occurring at their establishment.
Dickie Brennan restaurants in New Orleans – including The Palace Café and Tableau – are among the first to introduce the RAIL payment devices to their guests. The restaurant organization was recently named a Finalist for the 2014 Operator Innovation Awards by the National Restaurant Association (NRA) in recognition of its deployment of the RAIL payment platform.

This Week: Must-See Arts in the City
Art about sex, art about sci-fi landscapes, art about dilapidated industry and art in which the everyday is turned into abstraction. There is lots of trippy-weird stuff going on in New York City this week -- not to mention a crazy number of open studios in Brooklyn. Here's what we're looking at:
SCREW YOU at Susan Inglett Gallery Even in the free love days of the late 1960s, it wasn't all that easy to be in the porn business. Publishers were routinely hit with obscenity charges, requiring pricy lawyers and time-wasting visits to court. In an attempt to skirt obscenity laws, many magazines from the era featured artsy and alternative journalism as a way of selling the whole mess as art. Magazines such as Al Goldstein's notorious Screw featured contributions and/or interviews with figures as wide-ranging as Andy Warhol, Dan Graham and Yoko Ono amid spreads devoted to, well, spreads. Some artists, like Yayoi Kusama, issued their own tabloids, such as Kusama's Orgy of Nudity. Journals like the New York Review of Sex and Politics explored more intellectual (albeit equally sexy) territory — with a line-up that featured everyone from novelist Charles Bukowski to performance artist Carolee Schneeman. The show at Inglett, organized by David Platzker of Specific Object, examines the art-meets-porn milieu of the late '60s and early '70s. Opens Thursday, in Chelsea.
James Cathcart, Bone Yards, at Causey Contemporary Between all the condo towers and high-falutin' eateries, it can be easy to forget that south Williamsburg was once a place where people stripped stolen cars, leaving their hulking shells in abandoned lots and on the streets. Cathcart spent a good portion of the late 1980s documenting this process in black-and-white photographs. The show at Causey brings together these images with more recent pictures taken at the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center, outside of Tucson, where decommissioned commercial airplanes are stripped for parts. Opens Friday at 6 p.m., in Williamsburg.
Justin Berry, Fissure and Fracture at Interstate Projects Obsessed with the backgrounds in sci-fi novels and video games, Berry strips these works of text, people and machines to create images that are focused purely on landscape — garish-surreal settings in which something is always a little bit off. Good and geeky. Opens Friday, in Bushwick.
Everyday Abstract - Abstract Everyday at James Cohan Gallery A group show curated by Matthew Higgs features a broad gamut of contemporary artists — from accumulator of junk B. Wurtz to sculptor-collagist Shinique Smith — while exploring the fine line between abstract works and everyday objects. Opens Friday, in Chelsea.
Gifted and Talented, curated by Clifford Owens, at Third Streaming The artist Clifford Owens recently generated plenty of artsy buzz during his series of performances at MoMA PS1, in which he completed a series of actions (some quite risqué) based on instructions provided to him by a multi-generational group of 26 artists. Now Owens is curating his own exhibition -- comprised of photography, video and live performance — some of which tests the limits of intimacy and endurance. In other words, expect nekkid people doing weird stuff. Opens today at 6 p.m. in SoHo.
Plus: Bushwick Open Studios is going down this weekend -- and with 540 studios participating, rest assured that there will be enough art to gag an ox. From Friday evening through Sunday, all over Bushwick.

Ivory, Eifert racking up scoring chances
Mike Clay's OTD recap examines the players with the best scoring opportunities in Week 9 and during the 2015 season.
Ivory, Eifert racking up scoring chances
I've written at length about opportunity-adjusted touchdowns (OTD) in the past. If you're new to the stat, be sure to check out the original introductions to rushing and receiving OTD. I've also improved my methodology in the past, and you can read the rushing, passing, and receiving articles via the provided links.
In a nutshell, the OTD metric weighs every carry/target and converts the data into one number that indicates a player's scoring opportunity.

TEL AVIV — Extensive simulations rather than boots on the ground will characterize this year's Juniper Cobra (JC16), a biennial US-Israel air defense drill that is kicking off here and will continue through the end of the month.
Hundreds of US military personnel from US European Command (EUCOM) are already here and hundreds more will join in the three-week event, which is the smallest in years and heavily oriented toward simulated command post and joint task force operations with the Israel Air Defense Force.
They will be supported by hundreds more US servicemen and women in the United States, across Europe and on Aegis cruisers stationed in the Mediterranean, sources from both countries said.
But despite Israel's initial requests, the US will not forward-deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery, Patriot PAC-3 or any other intercepting systems for participation in the final two-day, live-fire part of the drill.
Instead, US intercepting batteries will demonstrate their ability to interoperate with Israeli anti-rocket and anti-missile systems through data links connecting them to simulated operations taking place at the JC16 command center at Israel's Hatzor Air Base near Ashdod.
"We understand the US is busy in all kinds of places in the world and is also dealing with budget issues. But with technology that now allows over-the-water connectivity, they suggested and we agreed to expand the benefits of simulation while scaling back boots on the ground," an Israeli officer said.
All layers of Israel's active defense network — the Arrow-2 anti-tactical ballistic missile system, Patriot PAC-2 air defense batteries, Iron Dome and the not-yet-operational David's Sling Weapon System — will take part in simulations against coordinated and sustained salvo attack from multiple fronts.
They will be joined in simulated defensive battles by at least one SM-3-equipped Aegis ship on high alert off Israel's Mediterranean coast; a THAAD battery providing simulated support from the US; and US Patriot PAC-3s stationed in Europe.
In addition, all supporting elements from US and Israeli intercepting systems, including the US AN/TPY-2 radar stationed here, the Israeli Super Green Pine radar, and the Multi-Mission Radar controlling Iron Dome and David's Sling, will be connected via US-supplied Link 16 and fiber-optic ground communications.
"It's much more modest this year in terms of numbers and actual hardware, but we're confident JC16 will provide meaningful opportunity to expand on the excellent cooperation we've built," an Israeli reserve officer said.
As for the final live-fire portion of the drill, Israeli air defenders will operate a single Iron Dome battery, with command-and-control support from David's Sling and Arrow.
US and Israeli public affairs officers declined to comment on the lack of US forward-deployed intercepting batteries in this year's drill or provide additional details until a formal press event is held later this month.
They referred to a joint Feb. 6 statement that described JC16 as "part of the routine training cycle designed to improve cooperation and coordination."
Such drills, according to the statement, "contribute to the IDF's qualitative military edge."

Last night, after finding what I thought was a funny cartoon about vegans, I posted the same cartoon and the response was way more than I expected. So tonight I post another cartoon that does the same. (By the way, I'm neither vegan nor anti-vegan, but I do find their zeal for what they believe admirable.) (HT: James McGrath)
The First Annoying Vegan

Yup. That's me, or, at least, an adequate paraphrase of my comments yesterday, despite the fact that I'm not even actually a vegan!
Thanks for posting this, Scot. This one was really funny.

This is the second insensitive post I have read here
Seriously, I am not a vegan, but I am a vegetarian in a country where the traditional cuisine is very much meat centered. So I get many remarks and looks from Christians and non-Christians alike but it is surprising to get it from here as well. I do believe we are free to eat whatever we want (meat included) so I never make remarks on people eating meat. But I also believe that love does not mock others. This is mocking regardless of the fact that you are not anti-vegan. It may be a funny kind of mocking, and I do not really mind it but I do not think this is 'Jesus Creed'-like, or have I missed a chapter?
- Paul W
This comes off to me more like mockery than humor. Do you really want this site to be associated with this sort of 'humor?'
Perhaps I'm personalizing this a bit to much but my embrace of the "Jesus Creed" leads me more in the direction of standing in solidarity with Vegans who are being mocked than laughing at them when others poke fun.
But that of course is just me.
- Paul W
Perhaps the last post was a bit snarky and self-righteous. My apologies.
Nonetheless, this is not the sort of tone or material I've come to expect at Jesus Creed.
- Alastair
I think there is fair humor in it. God himself obviously approves of the enjoyment of milk and honey. vegans actively reject the use or enjoyment of what God approves in regards to animal products (given that it is used with care and respect for the animal).
but he does not advocate abuse. but I don't think a bug that is unintentionally hurt is of concern. some vegans are more like Jains. not all. but we kill things every minute. bacteria, tiny bugs, etc. we inhale them and step on them.
some milking is uncomfortable. ask a nursing mother.

@Fred #7
Although, one would explain the other, neither one justifies the other.
C'mon, people… again, lighten up. If we all take ourselves too seriously, we'll never have any occasion for laughter. The type of person that this post is poking fun at is getting made fun of not because he or she is less than human or something, but because that person is a joke and needs to relax.
- Chris C
This could be viewed as a commentary on the way we have trouble accepting God's gifts and blessings for fear that they will not fit with our plan.
- Robert A
I'm a level 5 vegan. I don't eat anything with a shadow.
Oh and I'm pocket mulching right now.
- m
this is hilarious.
Seriously vegan friends, learn to laugh at yourself a little bit. It will prolong your life even more than your diet.
- RobS
Maybe the 20,000 foot view is better. God's providence should be more in our focus and our unity compared to dietary goals or restrictions. Given that, I'll laugh along, celebrate the promises God gives and the good He wants for me. Whether we like our burritos with steak, chicken, fish, or just lots of guacamole is up to the individual and doesn't mean much for our eternal salvation.
Hopefully I can unite with my vegan friends over that and just have a laugh for now. Maybe they can find one to tease those of us that do consume meat as well. I'll give that one a laugh as well.
- Dan
Wow, there sure are a lot of folks with thin skin that visit this site. Take a deep breath.
FWIW I agree w/RobertA @11.
- http://anebooks.blogspot.com James
I am dietary vegan (except for honey) and I find this hilarious : )
- Paul W
@Fred #7
I can't imagine how anyone would think Scot McKnight is a problem in our society. And for the record I'm not vegan nor do I find a vegan stance in any substantive way to be compelling. However, I do not think that "the insecurity of those with no solid foundation upon which to view themselves and those around them" should be meet with mocking humor.
Perhaps I'm being just a bit dense or niave but I can't put my head around this. How do those who believe that the spiritual center of Jesus' followers should be shaped by the love of God and love of neighbor endorse the sort of humor that makes someone you disagree with the butt of a joke.
- Barb
as the beekeeper's daughter I could easily live on "milk and honey". I once looked at the "forbidden foods list" from some supposed "Biblical diet plan" and when I saw that honey was forbidden I knew that wasn't the diet for me. Honey is mentioned several times in the Bible. my beekeeper friends would say that theirs was the "second oldest profession."
- http://LostCodex.com DRT
My dad would say he is not sure eating like a vegan actually makes your life last longer, but it sure seems like it.
- Fred
Paul W
I don't think Scot McKnight is a problem but apparently some vegans do. Personally, I think he is close to superman. How anyone can do everything he does like be a professor, write books, do speaking engagements and supply us with reading material on the Jesus Creed is beyond me.
- Joe Canner
For all you vegans and vegan-wannabees out there, science comes to the rescue…
- Paul W
Agreed. McKnight is superman! Wasn't aware that he was a concern to any vegans though.

Have you used a credit card or debit card at Target recently? Uh Oh
Target is investigating a major credit card breach at its stores that began just after Thanksgiving and ran at least through that weekend and possibly through last Sunday.
Millions of credit cards swiped at stores across the country might be compromised. Online shoppers appear to be safe. The Secret Service has confirmed that it is investigating what might turn out to be one of the biggest retail breaches to date. The reports suggest that hackers gained access to the data stored on the cards' magnetic stripes.
Worst case, the hackers could "create counterfeit cards by encoding the information onto any card with a magnetic stripe. If the thieves also were able to intercept PIN data for debit transactions, they would theoretically be able to reproduce stolen debit cards and use them to withdraw cash from ATMs."

A little over a year ago we went hands on with the Tsovet SVT-AT76. The watch, a centerfold of modern aviation-inspired design, left us hard-pressed to think of an equally superb watch in this particular segment. With the release of
TSOVET watches stormed onto the scene this past November and have been making a splash ever since. Being a naturally inquisitive person and finding myself seduced by their utilitarian looks, I decided to investigate. The designers at TSOVET draw heavily

It can be any of those things, or something totally unrelated, but we hold hopes in our hearts that it will be more goodies coming Android way. Your guess is as good as ours, but thankfully it will be known very soon.

Going to a dance
So I am going to formal dance (not a school dance) and I have no idea how to style my shoulder length hair for the dance. I've debating on a up-do but I've never done one before and I don't think my hair is long enough.
So if anyone has any ideas I'd be very thankful, also any makeup ideas are welcomed, i have no idea what kind of makeup to do. I'm wearing a floor length blue metallic dress with black mesh over top, with black heels.
an updo I like is where i twist the front sections of my hair back (usually about 2-3 sections) and clip them (high or lower, kinda between the top, and back of your head) with jaw clips. then you pretty randomly clip up the rest of your hair into a sort of big curly bun. I do this when my hair is wet.
A plus is, it gets quite a few compliments, people are always saying 'it looks so elaborate.' but it is super easy.
My hair is shorter then shoulder length, and i have layers, so i'm sure it would work for you.
if you want a photo, ask, cause i have my hair up in the style right now, lol.
oh, and you can easily dress it up or down, clips headbands etc. HTH

Who can resist a good brunch? Brunch works best on a lazy weekend, when there isn't a rush to get somewhere. And it's especially good if it involves mimosas, or my preferred summer favorite, a Michelada (if you've never had one, try it and thank me later).
Brunch is definitely my favorite meal, period, so I've come up with a versatile yeasted waffle recipe. It goes great with maple syrup, but I'm more of a savory type so I use it with all sorts of eggy brunch dishes.
Related: Delicious Desserts in 15 Minutes or Less
Gluten-Free Savory Yeast Waffles
Yield: About 8 to 10 waffles
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 package active dry yeast
1 1/3 cups Cup4Cup flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1. Place the milk and butter in a small pot. Place over medium heat and warm through to melt the butter. Do not scorch. Then remove from the heat and cool slightly.
2. Place half cup warm water and yeast in a small bowl. Stir and let sit for about 10 minutes. Then stir again to fully dissolve.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Stir in the dissolved yeast, milk, and butter. Cover the bowl tightly with a piece of plastic wrap. Let batter proof at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours. The mixture will bubble.
4. Cook waffles according to waffle-iron manufacturer's instructions.

When you enter the cabin the initial thing you'll notice is just how much place there's in comparison to saloons and other locations. The headroom in the top and also the back works for someone upto 7 inches. 4 people can sit-in the car pleasantly, 5 can be done however the individual at the center in the back may experience a bit uncomfortable. The huge cabin also extends to the boot that may match 3-4 bags that are large. From the functional pointofview it scores extremely remarkably due to large diemensions of the vehicle.
Economy sensible in actual life you'll be able to receive 45-50 on A roads 60-mpg over a long motorway way and 30-35 on b-roads. Though technology as sophisticated a bit further now these continue to be really good stats thinking about this model's era together with a 1.9 motor and 130 bhp. It is a fantastic balance of engine and power measurement and may increase up ascents that different less powerful automobiles would not be capable of.
The interior has lasted effectively without deterioration noticable. The paint work has suffered from a tiny decay along with some small sunning. However with all 6 disc changer added choice and the climate-control the car does feel a lot more like a SE, the SE trim may be equiped. Though the in table computer is definitely an insightful and interesting center. It had been beginning for satelite navigation technologies while these cars were manufactured.
One disadvantage of this vehicle is that VW dealer servicing may be costly. There is usually along list of advisories. Often MOT and servicing charges may reach a large number of pounds.Selected elements are susceptible to an amount match system with different local garages. Often they could let you employ a rentalcar free of charge if the bill is not particularly small. Customer support is variable with some brokers who are excited not to offer the automobile for the house and another shouting only say yes in the background! Just before recieving it following the company, frequently the vehicle is washed.
The first thing you will notice as you enter the cabin is how much space there is compared to other estates and saloons. The headroom in both the front and the back is suitable for someone upto 6ft 7 inches. 4 persons can sit in the car comfortably, 5 can be done but the person in the middle at the back may feel a little uncomfortable. The spacious cabin also extends to the boot which can fit 3-4 large suitcases. From a practical point of view it scores very highly due to generous diemensions of the car.
Economy wise in real life you can obtain 60 mpg on a long motorway route, 45-50 on A roads and 30-35 on B roads. Whilst technology as advanced a little further now these are still very commendable figures considering the age of this model as well as a 1.9 engine and 130 bhp. It is an excellent balance of power and engine size and can accelerate up ascents that other less powerful cars would not be capable of.
The interior has lasted well with no wear and tear noticable. The paint work has suffered from some minor sunning and a little rust. The SE trim could be better equiped, though with the climate control and 6 disc changer extra option the car does feel more like an SE. Though the in board computer is an interesting and informative facility. When these cars were manufactured it was early days for satelite navigation technologies.
One disadvantage of this car is that VW dealership servicing can be expensive. There is often a long list of advisories. Sometimes servicing and MOT bills can reach thousands of pounds.Selected parts are subject to a price match scheme with other local garages. Sometimes they can let you hire a rental car for free if the bill is particularly large. Customer service is variable with some agents who are keen not to deliver the car to the house and another shouting just say yes in the background! Usually the car is cleaned prior to recieving it after the service.
The Passat has always had a nice look to it but with VW's new corporate front end it looks a more handsome beast than ever before, we went for the standard colours as paying extra for paint seems idiotic to me. Chose the red as i'd seen it look good on golfs and it really sets the Passat off well and makes it stand out from the silver grey herd.
Eco bobbins-
The Bluemotion is VW's eco range so has stop start technology (you can turn it off) which can be a bit disconcerting if you are not used to it. I don't know if its to do with this but low speed stalling seems to happen quite a bit, mind you all you have to do to restart is push in the clutch.
We've got the 2 litre sport Bluemotion and its averaged 50 odd mpg on runs.
Now the important bit you've all been waiting for...... does it drive like an eco diesel?????
No it doesn't it drives like a very good car
Spangly Bits
We specced up our car a bit (as its the company paying not us) So had the fancy in car satnav stereo combo with the ipod gubbinsry. its a good system but the satnav is not as configurable as some i've used so can take you some odd routes. however it does have all of europe on it.
We also had the big glass sunroof option which is apparently great if you are in the back but not really noticeably different up front.
35000 miles in 11 months , its been a great car with only a couple of issues, its on the very end of its second set of new front boots and the tyre sensor has played up along with the central locking when I power washed the car a bit too vigorously.
The biggest gripe has to be reserved for the Dealership, the blokes in the overalls seem great and know their cars really well, however you can't speak to them without going through a lying (yes we'll ring you when its in/done) phone monkey who's job seems to be to annoy and frustrate at very turn.
Make sure your local dealership is good and you'll love the Passat
So before I begin what will almost certain be quite a long rant I had better let you know that I worship in the church of VW. Admittedly I do not accept the ones with engines in the front, and there is quite a gap in the VW museum from 1938 until 1945, but all that aside, VW were one of the greatest innovators in the car industry. I say were in the past tense as the VW Audi Seat Skoda soup which makes up the modern VW group seems to make similar cars which have varying versions of adequacy.
And if you are one of those that think that Clarkson is relevant , and that 0-60 really matters , then maybe you had better just take yourself and your Daily Mail off to your sky plus enabled TV and watch reruns of Top Gear until snow is a memory and the last Polar Bear drowns. Or maybe you are interested in the torque settings on the overdrive polarity interface , again probably not the review for you , why not try www.vw/boringdatathatstrangeuncleslike.com. This is really about owning VW Passat , its rather like getting your partners ex-boyfriends to sit you down and tell you all about the things she will not do , and the fact that she has 3 nipples ( one of them hairy ) and that when she says she had a few brushes with the Police , she actually means 3 counts of GBH , 2 intent to supply and a serious firearms offence.
So lets get the good things out the way first ; nothing has actually snapped of yet, no bend pedals,no jammed cd's and no squeaks or rattles(apart from the engine) and the cup holders. Those of you who have read my review on the Audi A4 will know that I like cup holders, and particularly more than one , and of a quality which will hold your Soya Lata with a sprinkle of nutmeg and 1.5 sugars . So the Passat has one really strong on in the dash , 2 in the massive centre console , 2 in the back and in the doors 2 holders for 2 litre water bottles. So whilst we are on a theme lets get the inside of the car done over first.
The room inside is excellent, so in the front and for rear seat passengers. The seats are comfortable, they seem to be adjustable in just about every direction , they do exactly what seats do, which is provide a excellent alternative to standing. So on first view the Passat estate is a really large drinks holder.
So lets start with the looks ....its boring, and its an estate . Vw try with a bit of mock chrome at the front , but it really is a very tired and boring looking shape. If you ever buy one you need to get some stickers in it quick , if you don't then you could be wandering around Sainsburies along with all the sales people, part time funeral directors and geography teachers looking for your Passat , it does not just look like other modern passats , it looks like passats from the last 20 years, and worse still like the Skoda's, Audis and BMW's and every other manufactures that knock out these identikit CAD designed boxes . So it's boring to look at, but that's a subjective opinion and some people like the anonymity of the design
So on to the interior , i have already mentioned the excellent cup holder to person ratio ( there is also one in the back but that snapped off when our 3 year jammed a Teddy in the cup hole) . The boot is "trip to Ikea huge" it's big enough for a fat lad to sleep in when there tent leaks on a I'll advised camping trip to Wales ( it was in-between camper vans, so after the air-cooled and before the t25. 1.6 tdi, i told you I loved them ). There is a really poor boot cover venetian, and quite often when you pull it over your ikea furniture, or valuable it opens when you are driving, and makes quite a clunk. I have given using it as i rarely ever go up North, so the chances of the car being robbed are quite low. There is also a kind of second boot over the spare wheel , which is really useful for dirty walking boots , dirty clothes or flat bread storage. The boot also has a 12v supply which is handy for popping a freezer box in or if you were ever abducted , then forced in to the boot and needed charge your mobile or maybe play your gameboy. I have gone on about the boot for a while, and thats because its a really good feature, and its not hard to shine in such a pile of magnolia , the boot really is the highpoint of the car. So onwards to the rear of the car , where agin you find seats which again offer a good alternative to standing, but not quite as comfortably. Rear leg room is excellent ,and is again a useful 12v supply and vents for the rear seat passengers, a large arm rest site in the middle, and apart from holding Coffee or bear fur it's pretty rubbish.It opens up to revel a a compartment which is only really good for holding very small books, and the not many of them.
So now to the driver and passenger area , ,which continues in the same dull style , more black plastic with crappy silver edging , it all works , and its all Ok , but nothing sparkles as being a great bit of design. The driving position is ok, the comfort is adequate, and the various cubby holes are ok. The stereo is fine, but again no longwave so unless you want to spend £700 on the dab version there will be no test match special, and as ever on this version there is no Ipod connector ( later versions have a jack plug, but it's not very good as it's in the central box thing that sits in-between you on the front seat passenger , and reminds you the days when this was there as a way of hiding the transmission tunnel. )
All the controls feel positive, the cruise control is excellent,and all the knobs and things to push are positive and feel like they will last a while. All the human control interfaces are just dandy, but all of this adequacy is ruined by one massive horrible feature which will stop me ever wanting one again....
The electronic hand break.
When humans find the perfect design it may change shape of the generations, and sometimes we find a new way of doing something fundamental, a good example of this would be the Mousetrap, the can opener and of course the hand break . You stop your car, and you pull on the hand break, it's been this way for years , its works , it's safe , it's reliable , it's a bit of throwback and yes its and mechanical.So VW decide that they will put a switch in the dash , next the vents , and then have a complex system of having to push various pedals before you can pull away. This is then made worse by the fact that if you are on a incline, then you can pull away without actually pressing the button. Its confusing, and then the switch start sot malfunction (mine and a colleagues) and it does not come on when you press the button. Its such a great system that NO other VW's that i borrow have them in. Its the single biggest reason i want rid of this(and missing test match special on LW) boring example of adequacy.
So as well as the hand break button failure what else has gone wrong 80 000 in 2.5 years. Well the engine fell out ! All the mountings snapped and the engine twisted in the engine bay causing some 2.5 k's worth of damage .It was of course covered under warranty, but in my head the engine and gearbox repairs have make the car that little bit noisier. Then at 95K the clutch failed, this led to a gearbox fault at 100K . The repair went badly and at 114k the gearbox failed again. I am counting the days until the heap gets dragged away to be a unreliale taxi in Birmingham.
MPG is a good 45-50 , acceleration is fine as is the general ride and handling of Aslam ( we call it that as it's like a wardroom on wheels ) .
So on reflection this car is adequate, in a age when for 22k you expect a lot more than adequacy. Would i buy one myself NO , would i recommend you buy one NO , not unless you want to do funerals at the weekend , and if that engine had fallen out whilst on the motorway it may be your own.
ust as a added the note , out of my colleagues mine has been the most reliable, with Turbos and wheel bearings being the biggest failure on the list thus far.
I've had a few Passats over the years, preferring the estate versions because there is so much more room inside. Where I really find that they come into their own is the room available for the rear seat occupants. Here, it is almost like VW have cut the car in half right behind the driver's seat and then added an additional 6" wide bung into the car and welded it all back up again. The result is that there is a lot of legroom for the rear seat occupants, even when the front seat people have their seats fully back and you can easily get 3 adults abreast across the back seat.
So looking at this particular model, I have a 2004 diesel VW Passat 1.9 TDI 130. Having previously only had the 110 bhp versions, I was quite shocked to note how much of a power difference the extra 20 bhp made to this 130 bhp model - fast and responsive with good acceleration throughout the range. Economy wise you do take a hit. Whereas with the 110 versions I easily could get well over 50 mpg, the 130 version would get me into the high 40s, and possibly just over 50 mpg on a long run if I was gentle. But still, very good for such a large car.
Interior wise I've got a full leather fit, the first time I've ever had this from VW and I've got to admit that the quality is good and the finish is excellent. Comfortable and practical, the car is a joy to drive over long distances and for long durations.
Fittings wise the stereo and combined 6 CD player give a great sound quality. Easy and logical operational control with an 8 speaker sound system means it will satisfy the most demanding of music connoisseurs. The car also has air conditioning which seems to have little impact on the overall fuel economy. I know at times in the coldest setting, I've had to turn it up because it got a little too cold for me and at the other end of the scale it will quickly warm the entire cabin area.
Controls are all within easy reach of the driver and there are loads of pockets and storage spaces around the car for someone to put their little trinkets etc. In addition, it also has the computer display which will give the mpg, journey time thus far etc and more importantly how many miles you have remaining in your fuel tank - particularly important when you have run low on fuel, which normally gives you about a 50 mile range when the low level light comes on.
OK, to balance, what are the negative points? A minor point but the computer LED display sits between the clocks and is a red display, whilst the lighting for the clocks etc and all the dials and controls is in blue. Slight colour clash for what is a classy and well laid out display. The drinks holder for 2 drinks for the front seat occupants now sits by the handbrake lever between the seats. Not a bad position, but when you have the armrest as I have with the top panel slid forward, it kind of blocks the rearmost of these 2 drinks holder. Again, a minor issue, but can be annoying. When you fold the rear seats down, you have to remove each of the 3 rear headrests in order to fold the seats flat. Equally, with the rear seats flat, you can't put the front seats fully back.
Finally, servicing costs. Well it is a VW and they are not particularly cheap. Mine has been set up for the long life service meaning about 20k miles between servicings, so it has saved me some money. But when you are paying something like £90+ just for an oil change, it can get very expensive.
But overall, VWs are very reliable and so far I've not really had any problems with it after 100k miles. They are designed to be load luggers and the cavernous estate will swallow up massive loads, particularly if you fold the rear seats down, and you also have the standard roof rails on top should you require more storage space.
In summary, the Passat is a great roomy family car. Plenty of space for passengers and load lugging and gives excellent mpg in return.

USC Sweeps Pac-10 Team, Individual Championships In Playoffs
May 1, 2011
Complete Results in PDF Format
Sophomore Martin Trainer outlasted Oregon State's Alex Moore during a seven-hole playoff and helped lead USC to a convincing one-hole playoff win over Oregon at the 2011 Pac-10 Men's Golf Championships at the Stanford (Calif.) G.C., on Sunday (May 1).
The title is USC's Pac-10 best 19th conference crown, its first since 2007, and its second win on the season. The streaking Trojans have now posted four consecutive top 3 finishes. Trainer's win was USC's 21st individual championship and its first since Jamie Lovemark in 2007.
"We are over the moon right now," USC head coach Chris Zambri said after winning his second conference title. "Everyone is pretty stoked. It's just nice to have guys playing well and have a season that wasn't going great and to have everyone step up their game and all of the sudden become a really good team.
"Some guys are playing the playing the best ball of their lives and some are getting close. In little ways they've all gotten better and we are now contending like we thought we would all along."
USC (355-354-352-354), which was led Sunday by Trainer and sophomore Sam Smith's 3-under 67, and Oregon (351-359-360-345) finished tied in first at 15-over 1415. The Trojans led Stanford by three strokes and Oregon and UCLA by nine entering the day but got caught by the Ducks' strong final round, which was low for the tournament.
With their earlier tee times, the Ducks finished well before USC finished its round and watched the drama unfold. It came down to Trainer, who had to two-putt from 90 feet. The sophomore, who was also putting to stay tied for first with Moore, left his birdie putt short by only about five feet and then calmly sunk the par putt to send both he and the Trojans into a playoff.
Before the team playoff ever got underway, Trainer and Moore battled for one hour, 45 minutes with Trainer's par on the par 4 18th finally clinching the title after playing the same hole for the seventh time. He and Moore had traded pars on the previous six holes. Combined with his regulation and team playoff holes, he played the 18th nine times, all at par.
"It was a really cool experience and something I gained a lot from," said Trainer of leading for most of the event and ultimately winning it in dramatic fashion. "I hadn't won in a while and it was fun to be in contention the whole way. I've been playing well, and it feels great to do it on this stage."
The team playoff, in which all six players from both schools squared off against each other on the 18th hole, two at a time (and then adding the best five of six holes), was less dramatic as the Trojans won the first four holes and were even on the final two.
"It feels great to win Pac-10s, that's for sure. It was cool we could crush them in the playoff so we wouldn't have to do it again," Trainer said, adding with a laugh, "I didn't want to go back on 18 again."
Trainer finished at 5-under 275 (68-68-69-70) with four birdies and four bogeys in the round for his third straight top 5 finish and first title as a Trojan.
Freshman Jeffrey Kang took fifth at 1-under 279 (71-68-68-71) while Smith was eighth at 2-over 282 (73-71-71-67), both registering their third top 10 finishes this season. Kang was even on the front 9 and 1-over on the back while Smith used eight birdies against three bogeys and a double bogey to secure his best ever round as a Trojan.
Junior Steve Lim tied for 28th at 9-over 289 (72-74-70-73), sophomore T.J. Vogel tied for 33rd at 11-over 291 (71-73-74-73) and freshman Ramsey Sahyoun tied for 45th at 18-over 298 (72-75-75-76). Lim had two birdies on the day while Vogel had three as they each battled to 3-over final rounds. Sahyoun had two birdies in his 6-over round.
Behind USC and Oregon was UCLA in third (1418), Stanford (1420), Cal (1437), Washington (1449), Arizona (1450), Oregon State (1453), Arizona State (1456) and Washington State (1464).
USC won the Pac-10 Women's Golf Championships team and individual titles this year as well.

Video: Cuba returns couple accused of kidnapping their children
posted at 1:54 pm on April 10, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Second look at the Elian Gonzales case? Or was this couple so distasteful that even the Castro regime had no propaganda use for them? You decide:
Recently in the Green Room:
Definitely Elian. Everything decent said that he ought to be returned to his remaining parent.
Everything decent says that these two children ought to be taken from their parents and returned to their grandparents (who were the legal guardians).

I think they were trying to pay us
back for the Carter's visit .
Lucano on April 10, 2013 at 2:18 PM
They're well-known for sending their own criminals here, so they certainly don't want any of ours. Except, of course, all those that could be deemed "political prisoners" if they sent them home.
GWB on April 10, 2013 at 2:18 PM
The only time I flew the flag upside down
was the day Janet Reno put a gun in Elian's
face . I'll never forget that picture .
Lucano on April 10, 2013 at 2:23 PM
No propaganda because it is not worth the paperwork and court costs. If any boats from Hatti or the US show up looking for refugee in Cuba they are sent back and they don't need the wanted criminal label. The use Jay Z and Beyonce was such a bigger propaganda win anyways, the tank is full right now.
This is a sad case. I've heard that they took the kids away from the parents because of a petty Marijuana offense. I don't know all the details but it sounds like the United States is the bad guy in this case.

It's immoral, unjust and un-American to split up a family because of MJ possession.
FloatingRock on April 10, 2013 at 9:05 PM
Definitely Elian. Everything decent said that he ought to be returned to his remaining parent.
unclesmrgol on April 10, 2013 at 2:17 PM
So do you support returning these kids to their parents and reuniting the family also? Or do you make an exception in this case because you are so virulently anti-Marijuana?

No. The grandparents have custody. Father has had his parental rights.
Officials said they have so far been able to determine that Joshua Hakken was arrested in a hotel on multiple drug charges in St. Tammany Parrish, Louisiana, where he had just attended some type of anti-government rally.
Slidell police say were called to the hotel in June in reference to a disturbance involving Mr. and Mrs. Hakken. Police say when they arrived the parents were acting in a bizarre manner that alarmed officers.
Police say they were talking about "completing their ultimate journey" and were traveling across the country to "take a journey to the Armageddon." Police say both of the children were present in the hotel at the time.
Police say based on the parents' behavior and the fact narcotics and weapons were inside the hotel room, officers called the Office of Child Services, who determined the children were in danger and needed to be taken into custody and temporarily placed in a foster home.
Joshua Hakken was placed under arrest and charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and the use of a controlled and dangerous substance in the presence of minors. Officers also took custody of the guns.
Two weeks later, police say they were notified Joshua Hakken had shown up at the foster family home with a firearm demanding the return of his children. The foster parents called 911 and police say Hakken fled without his children.
I would expect that, like my son, the marijuana made Mr. Hakken paranoid. He was making the same dangerous kinds of statements my son made during his addiction. Unlike my son, it appears that Mr. Hakken chose not to enter a treatment program. Also, in about 10% of the cases, the paranoia is permanent — ceasing to use marijuana does not cure the disease.
The kids are in a far better place than with their father. They are with their grandparents — family who is capable of caring for them properly.
As for Mr. and Mrs. — well, they are now up on charges which mean they will probably not see their children for years — if ever.
A co-worker of mine is currently taking care of both of his grandchildren — their mother is alcoholic and has tried to scam her way out of treatment over and over. When ordered to see a court-appointed psychologist, she bribed a non-court one to write a letter in her favor. Obviously that went over in the court like a lead balloon… My co-worker has been told by the judge to consider adoption. Since my co-worker has faith that his daughter will see the light and seek treatment, he is only willing to consider guardianship — which is one of the four possibilities under California law (the others being reunion with the mother, fostering, or adoption). I don't know the laws in Louisiana, but they may not have all of the options a California court has.

Old leaves need to die in time or they will bring a plant downNovember 02, 2006
In a study from the November issue of The American Naturalist, researchers Alex Boonman and co-workers from the Netherlands show that it is beneficial for plants growing in a dense stand to shed their oldest, lower leaves once these become shaded. By using transgenic tobacco plants that do not shed their lower leaves, they were able to show that shaded old leaves become a burden to a plant because they no longer photosynthesize but still require energy to be maintained.
Moreover, the nutrients in these leaves can be more usefully employed by the plant when re-allocated to new leaves at the top of the canopy, where more light is available and higher photosynthetic rates can be attained. Previously, theoretical modeling has been extensively used to investigate how plants should distribute their leaf area and nutrients to maximize their photosynthesis and fitness. However, a direct experimental test was lacking till now.
"Keeping up with the neighbors is important for plants in leaf canopies" Alex Boonman states, "because failure to project enough leaf area at the top of the canopy means that some other plant will do it, with shading and therefore diminished photosynthesis as the consequence." The transgenics, which were originally developed by Susheng Gan and Richard Amasino at the University of Wisconsin, indeed produced less leaf area in the upper canopy layer than normal plants and performed less well in competition exeriments.

Batman Begins:The latest instalment in the Bat franchise.
American Psycho's Christian Bale plays another American psycho in Batman Begins. Phillip McCarthy looks at the latest instalment in the Bat franchise.
Director Christopher Nolan
Stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Katie Holmes, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman
Rated M
Screening Now
Forget the debate about whether the world really needs another Batman movie. There are more pertinent questions, such as would a director of Christopher Nolan's calibre have been better off making an original film like his signature movies Memento and Insomnia? Or would Christian Bale be better cast in equally original films such as American Psycho and The Machinist?
Then again, if Hollywood was going to spend $US135 million ($176 million) to retool a revered franchise, better it be Nolan and Bale than a pair of derivative hacks.
Batman Begins is described as an "origins" movie. After four Bat-flicks in the 1980s and '90s - two from Tim Burton and two from Joel Schumacher - Nolan has used the hiatus since the last one to put aside Batgirl, Robin and the nipple-emphasising costumes of Schumacher's films to go back to the basics only fuzzily addressed in Burton's films. After all, who in his right mind prowls around town in a cape and pointy-headed mask?
The answer: no one in his right mind, because Bruce Wayne is not a picture of even-keeled normality. Batman Begins focuses on his back story in more detail than the previous films and gets a bit pseudo-Freudian to explain how Wayne morphed into Batman.
"I had always been a big fan and it seemed to me that most of the unanswered questions anyone could possibly have were really about what made Batman tick and make the choices he made," Nolan says.
"Here we have someone who can't be smug because he doesn't have any superhero powers. Once you go down that track, someone like Christian Bale is a pretty obvious choice.
I mean, look what he did to himself in The Machinist. [Bale lost nearly 30 kilograms to play a skeletal insomniac.] You have to be a little off-kilter to do that."
Who knew, for example, that by embracing the motif of the bat, Wayne was really confronting a recurring childhood phobia that even played a part in the death of his parents?
"I always thought that in the previous films the villains were far more interesting than Batman," Bale says. "He was just this guy in a bat suit whose role it was to take them down. He was kind of bland and they're the ones who had the interesting character twists to explain why they ended up so evil.
"So if you're playing Batman under those circumstances it's no wonder that people like Adam West [who starred in the '60s television series] played it as a spoof. This was an opportunity to deconstruct him.
"The idea of playing a superhero who has a great number of issues - who's dealing with rage and anger and guilt - is pretty compelling. I don't think anyone had ever really defined Batman on screen. Christopher Reeve defined Superman but no one had ever done that with Batman."
Nolan and Bale revel in showing their vigilante Batman with all sorts of human frailties; they suggest his weaknesses are what make him strong. Bale says he fast-forwarded through the other Batman films, which variously starred Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney as the Dark Knight, just to make sure "I was correct in thinking that there was nothing I needed to steal from them".
His interest came from unexpectedly enjoying some of the comic books, as a child, when someone sent him a batch: "I wasn't a comic-book sort of kid," he says.
If the characterisation in the early films didn't enthral him, he did watch the sartorial aspects of the early Batmen.
"Every single actor who has played Batman has complained about the suit - what you can do in it, what you can't," Bale says.
"The worst thing for me was that you get so hot in it. And it is claustrophobic when you first put it on. You do get a headache but you can take a couple of aspirin. All I can say is that I know I had the most advanced suit.
It was the lightest. It had the most motion built into it that was possible to get.
"But I like the idea of needing to be masochistic to wear it ... because this Batman probably is a bit of a twisted f---. He is a man with 'issues'. He's dealing with a lot of negative emotions and he's desperately using them to try to fuel something more positive. He thinks it is good for his soul to take the blows, so he enjoys the pain. He has this guilt to him."
Despite his preparation for The Machinist, Bale claims he doesn't share these traits with Batman. But he says that "going through pain gives you a sense of accomplishment".
In this episode, there's a new villain who's a favourite from the comics: the Scarecrow.
He had not been given much of a close-up, or in fact any face time, in the previous films. Certainly not like Jack Nicholson's Joker, Danny DeVito's Penguin or Jim Carrey's Riddler.
"I think it might have been asking for trouble to feature any of the main villains from the earlier films," Nolan says.
"You'd be setting yourself up for direct comparisons, which would not be useful.
What we wanted to do in this film was something completely on its own and completely different. Having told our own 'origins' story, hopefully, we might feel a little freer in the future to put our own stamp on material the other films have covered."
Nolan's strategy of focusing on Batman got a big thumbs-up from Michael Keaton, the man who played him in the first two, Burton-directed instalments, Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992). Keaton says he has not seen the new film yet but thinks the approach sounds "spot-on".
"I remember arguing that we needed to do a kind of prequel at some point that explained how this guy came to don a bat suit and run around the city like he did," he says.
"I thought that Batman was a little less interesting in the second movie and yet, because the character was inherently interesting, we had the opportunity to save things if we told his story. But I think the feeling was that would be like going back[wards]. I kind of lost interest after that."
Nolan had no problem with that approach. The director also realised that by explaining why Batman does what he does, he and Bale could breathe new life into the character.
"If people lock on to that concept it certainly means that we can revisit some of the old villains in the future," Nolan says.
There's a hint of future trouble at the end of Batman Begins; it pretty clearly sets up a sequel featuring a Bat-nemesis we have already seen. In other words, if Begins scores with audiences, these filmmakers are prepared to re-do the entire Batman movie canon in their own way.
Keeping such an option is certainly not uncommon in an era when you could end up with a blockbuster on your hands. In this instance, the studio, Warner Bros, has signed Bale to play Batman in two sequels.
This is particularly encouraging given the beating the bat took at the hands of Joel Schumacher. His Batman & Robin (1997) was so reviled by fans that it seemed to have killed off the lucrative franchise.
For the next eight years Hollywood was well and truly stumped about where to take it. At one point they even considered doing an Alien Vs. Predator crossover-type thing with Batman and Superman, throwing them together in one film for one last grand hurrah.
Now it looks like Nolan and Bale's Batman may have saved the day. And the franchise.

It was anther horrendous result last night, as Newcastle had victory snatched away from them in the last nine minutes of a game in which Newcastle played so much better than they had done last weekend at Southampton, and while we got nothing out of this game, the passion and decent form shown by our players last night, will surely help us to claw our way back up the league – and sooner rather than later.
The game on Monday night against Wigan is another crucial game, as Newcastle try to stop a nightmare run of four defeats on the trot in the league, but now's not the time to call for Pardew to be sacked, or Mike Ashley to get out of Newcastle – or any demonstrations.
We should have learned four years ago – that that kind of stuff just makes things worse, and hardly helps our players..
What Newcastle need is a win, and we need the fantastic support shown by all those good souls who made the trip down to Stoke in freezing weather last night, only to be disappointed right at the end.
And why Alan Pardew played Vurnon Anita on the right wing we have no idea, and there was no creativity at all in central midfield with James Perch and Cheick Tiote.
Vurnon Anita is the natural successor to Yohan Cabaye in attacking midfield – until our top French international is fit again – and the more he plays in that attacking midfield position, the better he will get.
Vurnon has now turned in four or five very good performances in a row, and he is currently leading our Man of the Match poll with 29% of the vote, and Davide Santon, who had another excellent game last nigh is second on 22%.
No wonder Inter-Milan and Roma want to take him back to Italy.
But Alan shouldn't tinker with the side, and with James Perch now suspended for Monday night's game after picking up his 5th yellow card last night – hopefully Vurnon will play alongside Cheick Tiote against Wigan.
And we may even see Shola Ameobi and Ben Arfa ready for selection, after they have hopefully recovered from their hamstring injuries – which Newcastle players seem to be picking up right left and center these days.
Let's keep Vurnon in central midfield – keep the faith – and let's hope we can finally get all three points against Wigan Athletic on Monday evening.

Rachel Bilson: I'm a good girlfriend
Rachel Bilson thinks she is a great girlfriend as she knows "how to roll" with her boyfriend's friends.
The 30-year-old actress has been dating Hayden Christensen on-and-off for five years. The pair are now back together after briefly calling off their engagement in 2010.
Rachel is happy with her love life, after going through complicated romances in the past.
"I've been in so many love triangles on TV and in real life. I'm pretty happy with where I am right now. I figured everything out in my twenties. It's nice to be heading towards the next chapter and thinking about children and things like that," she gushed.
"I feel I do well as a girlfriend. I can hang out with all my boyfriend's friends. I know how to roll with the guys!"
Rachel can be a hopeless romantic when it comes to relationships. The stunning star thinks people should follow their hearts when it comes to their feelings.
"I've been in relationships where we've said, 'I love you,' after two weeks. I think it depends on the person and the relationship. If it feels right, go with it," she explained in an interview with British magazine more!
"Love shouldn't play by the rules. It's all about chemistry."

Problems with my jeep
Hello, can anyone help please? I have a 2001 jeep grand Cherokee 4.7 limited. I have three major problems with it, firstly I am losing coolant, approximately 2 litres per month, I can't find the leak. Also after I have had the air con on I can get a few drips of water inside of the car on the passenger side when i drive around a corner. Thirdly the drivers seat front framing has snapped. Anyone else with these problems and any suggestions. Thanks col
Re: Problems with my jeep
Hi col and welcome! 1.Check your oil If its milky it could be a head gasket. Also watch front of motor when running focusing on bottom of water pump. Sometimes the gasket can go bad and coolant drips down and evaporates quickly. 2.Sounds like the HVAC drain is clogged.Located on bottom of blower housing 3. This thread might help http://www.jeepgarage.org/f203/help-drivers-seat-loose-but-seat-bolts-tight-02-jgc-lmtd-15235.html
Re: Problems with my jeep
If you really can´t find any external leak, there is a good change that you have problems with your head gasket. The coolant will flow trough the small opening in the gasket into the combustion chamber after switching off the engine ( cooling system is pressurized, so the cooling liquid can flow into the cylinder until the pressure has dropped). You can recognize this when you pull the plugs and the plug of the leaking cylinder is normally washed. If you won´t see any difference, only a compression check would point out the problem cylinder. There are some cases of cylinder head electrolitical corrosion, where pitts in the head created a path for the liquid to leak through.

Blue Spring State Park Marine Life Part II
Normally, manatees are long gone from Blue Spring this time of year, as they've made their way back to the waters closer to the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean. I, however, got lucky on my visit to the state park (on the western edge of Orange City, Florida) in late-April, as two calves were being reintroduced into the wild. The story was they had been injured and taken to Sea World. The staff there had nursed them back to health and placed them at Blue Spring. Having been acclimated to people, they chose to hang out at the dock with their radio transmitters bobbing on the surface just above them as they lounged on the spring's bottom.
Perennially voted as one of the best places to see manatees, Blue Spring hosts scores of these gentle creatures as they congregate here in the winter months, taking refuge in the waters here, which are a constant 72 degrees Farhenheit. To celebrate the migration, Blue Spring State Park hosts the annual Manatee Festival in late January. This past year the park welcomed 202 of the so-called sea cows – a record number of manatees since the festival began 23 years ago.
During my recent visit, the area in which the manatees had chosen to make their temporary home was roped off to keep humans at a distance. Still, one of the manatees proved its fearlessness when two biologists from nearby Stetson University swam through their watery lair. The manatee, which had appeared to sleep for the previous hour, suddenly swam over to see who these creatures were, stopping when they stopped, perhaps in hopes of receiving attention or, maybe food.
Learn more about the Manatee Festival at their Web site. Plans for the 2009 festival are not yet online.

"Molly and her crew provided the floral/décor for our September 22, 2012 wedding. My husband and I wanted to take a brief moment to rave about our experience with her and her company. From the very first meeting we had with Molly, we knew she stood out in comparison to the other florists we had met. She had so much spunk, personality, and a clear love for what she does. It is that passion that shines through in her work, and sets her well above other florists in the area. We could not have been happier with our decision to have them provide the flowers and décor for our wedding… Throughout our year-long planning process, her and Bailey were always so pleasant to work with, flexible, and almost immediately responsive to any question or need we had at the time. They made time to meet with us, even on busy weekends since we were coming from out of town. They were patient with us, even when we made changes to "the plan." We really feel as though they went out of their way to make sure they knew exactly what we wanted – and that our vision came through in the final product on our wedding day. Their services on the day of our wedding were exemplary. They arrived on time, and set up everything flawlessly. We had our gorgeous bouquets and boutonnieres well in advance of our pictures. Then, when I walked into the ceremony space and reception room and saw our centerpieces and flowers, it brought tears to my eyes (and I am NOT a tearful kind of girl)! We absolutely couldn't have asked for anything more than the perfection they provided. We cannot recommend Molly and her company highly enough. Mr. and Mrs. Justin Estepp"
