Removal is usually a messy and laborious process, with or without asbestos. The material must be wetted down and scraped and the underlying wallboard wiped clean. Once the popcorn is gone, the ceiling often must be repaired with joint compound and repainted. Even if there’s no asbestos, you probably should hire a drywall or painting contractor for the job. (For a glimpse of the process, visit www.ronhazleton.com.)

Make sure that your cats have plenty of “approved” places to scratch, since scratching is essential to their well-being. They do it to mark their territory, condition their claws, exercise, and stretch their muscles. Invest in a solid cat tree , and buy several cardboard scratching pads to scatter around the house. They’re inexpensive and cats love them. Sprinkle catnip on them weekly (and replace the inserts when they wear out) to keep them interesting. And never declaw your cat, as this painful mutilation can cause lasting physical and mental anguish, as well as prompting undesirable behavior, such as biting and refusing to use the litterbox.

You cannot handle it. We made this choice many years ago to say, there’s a certain percentage of steel watches that Patek Philippe will do. You have to understand that … the factory that we have is not done to build only steel watches … Patek Philippe has always been always dealing with every kind of material: platinum, white gold, rose gold, yellow gold. Steel watches also, but it has to stay as a limited amount. So, how can I deal with it? I can’t. Sadly, I can’t, so I really feel sorry when I hear that, yes, there is a four years, eight years waiting list. But that’s also part of the beauty of Patek. 

“The car was always such a big deal to the whole car community and Jake’s friends, and I mainly wanted to do this for my son and his friends,” she said.

But Prince wasn’t Gua’s first prince. He remembers an early obsession with Tutankhamen, which prompted his first-ever handmade art object: a cardboard reproduction of King Tut’s tomb that he buried in his mother’s flower bed. “It disappeared in a matter of days,” he says, “which, as a 7 year old, I attributed to the curse of the mummy, but was in reality the annoyance of the mommy.”

Eryck asks: “What would the surname for bastards born at Ringer HQ be? Do you personally think Dorne still has a role to play in the South? I know historically they can tend to disengage from Northern conflicts, but the army was ready to get picked up. Should Cersei have some eyes on them?”

Shazam!You like your nephew! He’s nine years old, absolutely adorable, and as boring as a bar of Ivory soap. And that’s pretty much the vibe of Shazam!, which, like Aquaman, is practically begging to be known as “the fun one” in DC’s line of grumpy, mostly unenjoyable superhero flicks. Based on the old-timey Captain Marvel comics, Shazam! tells the story of orphaned Billy Batson who stumbles into a wizard’s cave and is given god-like powers (and a buff adult’s body) to become the world’s super-charged champion against the seven deadly sins. Billy yells the name “Shazam,” lightning pops out of the sky, and bam—the transformation is complete. If you’re 9 years old, you’ll think it’s pretty good. There’s not a lot here to appreciate if you’re an adult. WM. STEVEN HUMPHREYVarious locations

For many young men, too, there was an uncomfortable identification with Robert, which tended to provoke either embarrassment, defensiveness, or (as is often the case) both. Men’s angry responses to the story became the stuff of Twitter humor, beneath which was a palpable bewilderment—aside from lashing out at the end, there wasn’t much Robert had really done wrong, other than be ugly and terrible in bed. (One writer in Vox, amusingly, wondered if the story was “fat shaming.”) Robert had neither forced himself on Margot nor acted in a threatening manner; for most of the story, in fact, Margot appears as the one with the power, deriving pleasure from how attractive she must seem in comparison with him.
