Time MPs get rational on first past post debate
Two weeks after wrapping opening expert testimony, the all-party panel of MPs tasked with investigating alternatives to Canada's first past the post voting system is to reconvene Monday. Here's hoping they've managed to recharge their mental batteries, as the preliminary witness list suggests they'll be wading into the deep end of political theory.

Global social change can start where you work
In Central Australia's sprawling outback, Mark Glazebrook met a 15-year-old boy straddling a bike--a typical teen pose but for the gas can strapped to his face. A sniffing epidemic had ensnared local aboriginal youth in 2002, and Glazebrook travelled from Melbourne to help.

Grits in battle over new fighter jets
In March, 1977, Pierre Trudeau's Liberal government, seeking to replace the Air Force's three existing fighter fleets with a single aircraft type, ordered a full-scale competition, calling for five American and two European fighters to be evaluated. A New Fighter Aircraft (NFA) program office was quickly established, with full-time representatives

Following his arrest, Waseem Azeem confessed with cold pride: "Yes, of course I stra

You think it's hot? Check your history
Many London and Southwestern Ontario residents are hunkering down in search of air conditioning or at least shade as we experience another heat wave. However, even though the grass on my lawn has taken on the consistency of concrete, and even the weeds are struggling to survive, it's far from the worst the city has experienced.

And travelling also.LET'S GO!
I love my friends.Travelling, smiling, laughing, jumping....And I'm HAPPY
I like travelling, so my favourite places are abroad.Some of there are: Berlin, Morocco, Rome...And in Spain I prefer Salamanca, Granada, Madrid, Gij�n.I like the beach and the mountains too.I always travel with my family and friends.I think travelling alone would be a good experience to make friends.
Morocco was one of my best travels.I went there during Easter but I'd like to return.The trip with friends would be fantastic.One of the reasons is that the place is incredible.
I waste a lot of time listening to music.It depends on the moment, sometimes I like quiet music, but most of the times I prefer fast and energetic songs.

When the U.S. Catholic Bishops published their 2007 pastoral statement "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship", some wondered why racism was given attention along with abortion and other pro-life concerns. Fr. Massingale's book does a good job, I think, in explaining why racism is an important issue for Catholics. While abortion remains the foundational issue for Catholics ("a person can't enjoy human rights if he or she is not alive to receive them"), Massingale shows that after birth, a person's human dignity remains under attack, in this case because of racism. In other words, even if the Civil Rights movement seemed successful in eliminating the effects of racial discrimination, the effects of that same discrimination still lingers in the unwritten and unspoken way people think and act towards one another. I do not think Massingale is advocating that we ignore abortion, especially considering that African Americans have one of the highest abortion rates in the country. Rather, he is making the case that we must be aware that racism is still alive, even if things appear to be better for racial minorities now in comparison to what they were even 40 years ago. Hence, combating the effects of racism is consistent with Catholic social action.

When I've uploaded the CSV file, The cells with the Turkish characters didnt show in the table? how can I fix this??
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble. Very likely, this is related to problems with different character encodings on the server and in the file.
One workaround that usually helps here, is to open the file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and then click "Save as" and choose "UTF-8" as the character encoding. Could you please try that?
Also, if possible, please send me the file via email (the address is in the main plugin file "tablepress.php"). This would allow me to test some other ideas.
Unfortunately that didnt work :((
I have sent you the email
Hi Hasan,
Thanks for the file. I can confirm, that the original file (which is encoded as "Western (ISO-8859-15)" is not imported completely. I then however saved the file as UTF-8 again and that could be imported without problems on my test machine.
I'll send you the UTF-8 file so that you can try again.
thanks, I ve uploaded and the problem was solved, thank you again :))
awesome! That's very good news! This means that I'll investigate, if there's a way to automatically convert a file to UTF-8, when it's uploaded but not in UTF-8 yet.
Thanks for testing!
Best wishes,

Cold rush! Expect hard freeze tonight
Published: Thursday, January 23, 2003 at 11:23 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 at 11:00 p.m.
HOUMA -- Tonight and tomorrow could bring some of the coldest temperatures Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes have seen in the past year, weather forecasters say.
Cold weather tips
Keep your head covered. As much as 50 percent of body heat can escape from the head.
Inspect all space heaters for damaged cords.
Do not use kitchen ovens, stoves or barbecue pits as heaters.
Cover tender plants or put them in a garage.
Bring pets inside.
Make sure anything that can burn, such as drapes, furniture or newspapers, are set at least three feet away from any heating unit. Place heaters where they won't be easily knocked over.
Exposed water pipes that are accessible can be fitted with foam or fiberglass insulation sleeves or wrapping.
National Weather Service meteorologist Michael Koziara says his staff is expecting a hard freeze tonight for the greater Houma-Thibodaux area, with temperatures possibly reaching into the mid-20s or low 30s later this evening. The freeze should be in effect Friday from 3 a.m. to 9 a.m.
"We've had a lot of cold rush into our neck of the woods from northern Canada," Koziara said. "In the coastal areas like Terrebonne and Lafourche, if we get 25 degrees or less for four hours, we consider that a hard freeze. That's when there's concern for damages to crops and pipes and things like that."
The National Weather Service predicts a warming trend going into Friday and the weekend. Friday's high should reach the mid-40s, with the low dwindling to the high 20s.
Saturday should bring with it partly cloudy weather with a chance of rain and temperatures in the mid-30s to low 50s, Koziara says.
The Weather Service forecasts are based on today's early conditions and could change, he added. Officials are currently watching how cold the weather could get, the amount of cloud coverage each area will receive and conditions of coastal waters.
"In fact, we do have a gale warning in effect right now for the coastal waters. Tides are 1 to 2 feet below normal," Koziara said this morning.
Couple that with strong northwesterly winds peaking at 20 mph, and you have conditions that aren't too friendly for avid sportsmen, he added.
"I know a lot of people in the bayou region like to go out and hunt and fish, but this is not a good idea right now with the wind blowing off the marshes. It could make life really difficult," Koziara said.
During this winter's first cold blast last weekend, local officials advised hunters and boaters to keep cell phones with them in case they need to call for help. In addition, outdoorsmen should wear layered clothing and stay dry to avoid hypothermia.
While it was not fully expected in forecasts made this morning, a freeze Friday night and into Saturday could be a possibility. As for Sunday, the lows will be around the 30s, and highs should climb into the mid-50s.

To investigate possible relationships between diet and risk for bladder cancer in Serbia, the hospital-based case–control study was carried out. This study included 130 newly diagnosed bladder cancer patients and the same number of controls matched by sex, age (%±%2 years) and type of residence (rural or urban). Dietary information was obtained by using a food frequency questionnaire. Initial case–control comparisons were based on tertiles of average daily intake of control group. The odds ratios (ORs) were computed for each tertile, with the lowest tertile defined as the referent category. All variables (food items) significantly related to bladder cancer were included in multivariable logistic regression analysis. According to this analysis, risk factors for bladder cancer appeared to be consumption of liver (OR=6.60, 95%CI=1.89–23.03), eggs (OR=3.12, 95%CI=1.10–8.80), pork (OR=2.99, 95%CI=1.16–7.72), and pickled vegetable (OR=3.25, 95%CI=1.36–7.71). A protective effect was found for dietary intake of kale (OR=0.21, 95%CI=0.06–0.73), cereals (OR=0.19, 95%CI=0.06–0.62), tangerines (OR=0.21, 95%CI=0.07–0.68), cabbage (OR=0.27, 95% CI=0.11–0.68), and carrots (OR=0.15, 95%CI=0.05–0.41). The study indicated a potentially important role for dietary fat and pickled vegetables in bladder carcinogenesis. An inverse association was recorded between consumption of fruits, vegetables and cereals, and the development of bladder cancer.

Many of the world's tea estate workers are caught in a cycle of poverty and hardship directly related to the fluctuations of the market.
Warm on a cold winter's day or chilled to beat the summer heat, your favorite tea starts with skilled workers on farms around the world. Fair Trade Certified tea comes from both cooperatives and from large farms. Fair Trade helps tea farmers and workers gain access to capital, set fair prices for their products, and make democratic decisions about how to best improve their business, their community and their tea.

To put myself in a box:
With an easy-going, cheerful, and take-it-as-it-comes attitude, I am typically eager to explore and experience everything new (or old) that comes my way. You'll rarely find me without a smile, or sans a silly joke/comment waiting to burst out.
Hobbies and interests may seem like passing fads, but I feel they are mostly different forms of the same base desires - some of mine are connecting with nature, people, and challenging myself.
I enjoy the work I do professionally (cue stereotypes), but don't let that define me.
Always looking to learn something new - thesedays its focused around music and dancing.
Currently reading: Modern Romance
At any point of time, it's likely that I'm obsessed with some song/artist or the other. Listening to a lot of Latin music thesedays, especially Cuban. If music was a religion, Bob Dylan would be my God.
Fav radio: KEXP (Seattle)
- human connection (friend, family, empathetic stranger...)
- humor
- music
- some room for spontaneity/flexibility
- some time with nature
- where I could travel to next and how I can do more of that.
- how could I be a better me? or me be a better I.
- why is this dating (and true love?) thing so hard? :)
a night in, chilling with music or a good read is always a good backup plan.
It's also a good kinda friday when I'm trying hard to sleep at a reasonable hour coz I have an early run/bike/hike commitment for Saturday morning.
If you are honest, straightforward, and genuine. Those should be easy, right ? :) Given that, I'm sure we can have a good conversation and be friends. Beyond that, if you like to wear a smile, are down-to-earth, and can tolerate bad jokes, I like you already!

Chapter 26 : Feelings
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
I lifted my head from my hands so my eyes could see more than the snow on the ground, and I saw Rose running toward me. I felt Remus shift next to me, sitting up a little straighter. Rose fell to her knees in front of me, and she looked worried.
"Thea, are you okay?" she asks.
"No, but I will be." I tell her honestly, they felt like the first honest words I've spoken in over a year.
"You know we all love you right?" she asks hugging me.
"Yeah, I do…" I tell her, but in my mind I'm thinking not Sirius.
"I know I probably ruined your Christmas, and I'm sorry, but there is still time to recover it." I tell my friends as we sit around the lit fireplace in the living room.
"Thea you didn't do anything wrong." Lily says quickly.
"That… that can't happen," I say "I can't be treated like a china doll; all that will do is make me hate you. Just trust me when I say I'm okay now."
"But how can we trust you of you didn't tell us this to begin with." James says, and Lily hits him.
"Well it was never any of your business, any of yours, so I didn't have to tell you." I say
"But it is m-" James starts.
"No, it's not. It's mine and mine alone, and I'm not letting it ruin today for me. So shut up about it before I'm forced to hit you with something." I snap
"Let's open presents then." Alice says, saving me from any further humiliation.
"Good," I tell her smiling, and handing out presents.
I give Lily and James theirs first, then Remus, Rose, but then I come to Sirius. I pause, and look at him. "It's, um, weird isn't it?" I ask him
"Yeah, but it's not like anything real actually changed." He says and I feel foolish.
"Right…" I say and I hand him the present moving onto Alice.
After all of us have passed out our presents we tear into the wrappings, reminding me of kids. I laugh to myself thinking that; we are still kids; this is something we should cherish now, because when we grow up we won't get this.
I open the present from my brother first; he got me a new book bag.
"Thanks…" I say looking up at him.
"Yeah, well we haven't been on the greatest speaking terms as of late, so I just guessed." James tells me as he opens his gift from me, which is a new journal.
"Like you said, bad speaking terms." I tell him laughing.
He smiles at me, and puts the journal down, and grabs for another present. I do the same, this time it's from Alice. I tear off the paper and open the box, and sitting inside is a shirt. It's red and reads 'Pride', and it's short sleeved.
"Alice…" I say looking up.
"You don't have to wear it, it's just something to think about." She says shrugging. "Thanks for the bracelet."
She holds up her wrist so I can see the charm bracelet on her, its silver and at this point only has one charm; a flower charm, I think it's a rose, so she has opened the one from Rose too. Rose, Lily, and I decided that we would work together on Alice's gift this year, the bracelet from me, and charms from everyone else.
I reach for the gift from Lily next, unsure of what to think. Lily and I had been fighting for months, so I shouldn't expect much. But then I pull the lid off the box and suddenly feel bad for doubting her. Inside is sitting a new hat. I laugh at the memory that probably inspired her to get this for me.
"Do you like it?" Lily asks, smiling.
"How could I not?" I laugh putting the hat on.
I remember us sitting out by the lake last Christmas, it was frozen, and there was a few first years tenuously walking on the ice. Lily and I were bundled up; I had on jeans a long-sleeved shirt two jackets, and a black knit hat. Lily stared complaining about having cold ears, and I getting tired of her whining, threw the hat her. She thanked me and pulled it on; well at about that time a first year threw a snow ball and hit me in the back of the head. In retaliation we both started throwing snow balls back, we were outnumbered though, and they backed us up to where we were standing on the ice. It broke and we both fell in, it was only two or so feet deep so we were fine, but sometime in the process of Lily getting her footing back, she lost my hat.
"Open yours from me." I tell Lily still smiling.
She tears the wrapping off the box and pulls up the lid; she smiles down at the box.
"It's to say sorry for me being such a bitch lately." I tell her as she picks up the bracelet.
"Thank you." She says smiling still.
I reach for the next present, it's from Rose, and I pull the tissue paper out of the bag, and retrieve the present from within. Two books, one entitled 'Obscure spells' the other 'Living with a prat; the girls guide to terrible boyfriends'. I look up and give Rose a weird look.
"What?" she asks "I was mad at Sirius, so I thought you could jinx him then dump him?"
"That's great Rose." I say to my best friend "Sometimes I don't know what to do about you."
"Well got me a scarf." She says holding up the present I bought her.
"My choices were limited because you went shopping with me!" I tell her "Any way it's cool it changes color and design according to what you want."
She just laughs and reaches for her next present. I do the same, it's from Remus. I notice it's a particularly small box; I pull the lid off and see a bracelet with a locket charm. Out of pure curiosity I flip the locket open. Inside is a picture of me, Remus, and Sirius from third year. I remember the day we took the picture because it was after a full moon and Remus looked terrible, Sirius had just decided to grow his hair out and it was at an awkward length where all it would do was stick up, and I had this god awful bow in my hair.
"Where in the world did you find this?" I ask surprised "I thought between me and Sirius we had burned all the copies."
"I still had a copy, and I shrank it to put it in there." He tells me laughing.
James had demanded that we get a picture to commemorate the day because Sirius and I had gone all of ten minutes without fighting, which was rare even then. So we got together, and just as James was about to take the picture, we started fighting because I told him his hair looked really stupid, so Remus got in the picture too to stop us from fighting.
"Why did I get a rock?" I hear someone ask, and I look up.
Sirius is holding up a rock in his hands. I laugh.
"I gave it to you; it's a very nice rock." James says smiling over at me.
"It's a rock!" Sirius exclaims
"Hey, you are dating my sister, you're lucky it's just a rock and not something worse." James says then he turns back to Lily and they start talking again.
I had only two presents left, one from Peter, it was a bag of candy, like every year, and one from Sirius. I couldn't bring myself to reach out for the box; I couldn't even look at it. I felt like the box was poison and if I touched it I would die. It was as if the end of the world would come if I opened it. So instead I looked over at Sirius, he was looking at my gift to him in much the same manor I was looking at his gift to me. I feel the weight on the couch shift a little as someone sits down next to me.
"You don't have to open it." Rose tells me, looking at the box.
"I don't want to, I don't want to know what he bought me or how much he spent, and I just want it to disappear." I tell her in almost a whisper.
"Then just give it back to him, tell him you don't feel right about it now that you two aren't anything." Rose tells me. "You aren't right? You ended whatever it was you two had, right?"
"Yeah, it's over, it never really happened, but it's over." I say looking back over at Sirius and feeling a loss which I had no business feeling.
Sirius POV
Everyone had gone from the room, migrated upstairs to talk to Thea. Not me though, I had no right to be there, she didn't care about me anymore, if she ever did. I stared at the two unopened presents sitting side by side on the coffee table. I couldn't bring myself to open the gift from Thea, or take back the one meant for her. So they sat there untouched, unopened, and unwanted.
"Sirius, what are you doing down here?" I hear someone ask.
"Staying out of Thea's business," I say not looking away from the presents.
"You're the only one who cared enough about her to tell me, you belong up there with her." James says.
"I was drunk; I didn't want to tell you. I wasn't ever going to tell anyone. I thought she was okay." I say sounding defeated.
"That doesn't matter, it was you who told me, not Remus, not Alice, you." He says
"And that's why I'm the one she never wants to see again." I yell finally looking up.
"She's just mad; she'll calm down and see that you did what was best for her." James says unfazed by my outburst.
"No, James she won't. She told me it would be best if we were over."
"I know her, and she will come around." James says "She… she really loves you." He sounded pained as he said it.
"James, you don't know anything about her, or me, or what actually happened these past few months." I tell her laughing humorlessly "If you did know anything you wouldn't be here, you wouldn't even be up there with her."
I'm not really sure what I was thinking, but I just walked out after that. I just left.
Thea POV
"He didn't mean to hurt you Thea." Alice tells me.
"I don't care anymore Alice, I don't I just don't want to talk about Sirius. It's over, and I'm fine with it." I snap
"That's the fastest I've seen someone get over a break up." Lily comments.
I want to laugh and tell her that there couldn't be a break up if there was never a couple to begin with, but I don't. I may hate Sirius, but I won't put him through what James and Lily would say if they knew everything was fake, things couldn't get worse for me, but they could for him.
"I'm perfectly fine Lily, it's not like I didn't know Sirius and I would break up." I tell them.
"Then why would you go out with him?" Alice asks.
"I don't know, he seemed… genuine when he asked me out, I guess." I say not sure if that would be enough to convince them.
"I think he should be up here, apologizing." Rose says looking out the door as if he would walk up the stairs any minute. But I knew he wouldn't, not ever.
Tears began to pool in my eyes, but I blinked them back, reminding myself I never had Sirius Black, I didn't lose him, I couldn't.
"You should at least talk to him, he really cares about you." Remus says.
Why was he getting into this? He knew as well as me that Sirius and I never had feelings for each other. Not really.
"No, I'm not reopening a wound for either of us. It's over, done, no more, and I'm fine, Sirius is fine, everything will go back to normal soon enough." I say to all of them hoping to end the conversation.
Rose POV
"In all the chaos earlier, I never got to give you your present." I tell Remus and I absently run my thumb over the silver pendant he gave me.
"It's fine Rose, you didn't have to give me anything." He says
"No, it's not!" I exclaim "You gave me a lovely gift, so now I'm giving you your gift."
I take a deep, nervous breath as I reach for the violin case that was resting behind the couch. I had never done this before, played in front of people. Barely anyone knew I could play, much less had seen it, so this was a nerve testing experience that I wasn't even sure I wanted to get into. I looked over at Remus, he looked absolutely thrilled to have me play for him, so I knew I had to do it.
I take another deep breath and I position the instrument on my shoulder. I begin to play, and I'm thankful that everyone is either gone or asleep; I didn't want anyone but Remus to hear this song. I had written it, the first song I have ever written, and I poured my heart into it. I thought that if anyone else heard it they would know something far too personal about me, something I was only ready to share with Remus. I had high hopes that after this he would finally share his secret with me too.
As my bow danced over the strings with persecution, and practice I was suddenly glad that I spent so many hours perfecting this song, far longer than I bother to spend on most other songs. I smiled in spite of myself and how nervous I was. I even looked up to see Remus' reaction, something I swore to myself I wouldn't do. He looked really happy, and was just staring at me, his eyes watched as I moved the bow across my instrument, as I watched him he watched me.
Finally the song was over and I lower the violin back into its case at my feet. I looked up the see Remus still staring at me from his spot in one of the chairs. I walk the short distance between us and sit on the arm of the chair. I look down at him, expecting him to say something.
"Well, what did you think?" I ask realizing I'm going to have to drag it out of him.
"It was beautiful, as were you." He says taking ahold of my hand. "I've never really gotten to see you play, even though I knew you did it still felt like a secret."
Taking what might be my only chance, I said "Speaking of secrets, are you ready to share yours?"
I was nervous asking, not because he would get mad, but because I knew he might be about to tell me that he's a werewolf, and even though I knew, and I was okay with it, hearing him say it might make things different.
"Rose…" he says "I'm not sure you really want to know."
I lean down a little so we're eye to eye and close enough that I can hear him breathing. "Nothing will change this, what we have. You literally saw me at my worst and that only makes me care about you more, Remus, I don't care what it is. I just need you to be honest with me."
He looks at me and I can see the decision being made in his eyes.
"Rose I'm a werewolf." He says quickly like if he doesn't get it all out now he never will.
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to react, I can't tell him I already knew because that could make him paranoid that other people know too, and so I just sit there for a second.
"Rose, are you okay?" he asks sounding worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I smile hoping that he would just accept that I accept him. To prove my point I kiss him lightly.
He pulls back and looks at me.
"Are you sure? Most people run away, or freak out, or accuse me of lying." He says putting a hand on the side of my head.
"For god's sake Remus, I told you nothing would change this, the only difference I now I know why Sirius jokes about your time of the month and why Sirius got me a charm bracelet with a wolf on it and couldn't stop laughing about it." I tell him.
"Well now I don't feel so bad telling you that Sirius is literally a dog." Remus says looking at the charm bracelet I was wearing.
"That's why you gave him a dog color!" I exclaim that had actually confused me a lot.
"Yep," he says smiling wider than I had ever seen.
"Does Thea know?" I ask
"Yeah, Thea is a raven." He tells me.
In response to my many questions about him and my four animagus friends Remus spent that night telling me all about the full moon and why they were always so beat up afterwards.
Thea POV
I stared up at the ceiling above me, my room was quiet, Lily and Alice were sleeping, and Rose was gone. I wished I could sleep too, but too many thoughts plagued my head. Sirius was gone. Just gone, he just left. James told me that he just need to calm down, Lily told me that I shouldn't worry, Alice told me that Sirius was fine and I need to worry about myself, Remus told me that he knew that Sirius would come back by morning, and Rose told me that he loved me, nothing more than that.
As much as I wanted my feelings for Sirius to just disappear they wouldn't, not the anger at him telling James, not the sadness I felt for him when he walked away from me looking so defeated, not the hatred I had built up over our years of fighting, and not the worry at him being gone. And not the longing I felt for him to just tell me everything was okay, and for him to hold me close to him as he had every time I cried.
Before I knew what I was doing I was out of my room and down the stairs about to walk out the door. I knew it was a stupid venture to walk out that door, but I did any way. My bare feet didn't feel the cold of the snow as I walked through it, I just knew that finding Sirius would make things better, even if he was the reason they were bad to begin with.
"Sirius!" I yelled out into the night, not caring if anyone else could hear, just caring that maybe he could. "Sirius where are you?"
I wanted him to answer me; I needed him to answer me. I needed to know why I felt this way. I had never needed anyone, and now he was all I needed. I had never felt like this before, but I knew that if I didn't see Sirius again this feeling would be torcher. I felt pathetic that I needed him so much, but I also felt stronger because I knew this meant that I felt something for him.

Have stayed here multiple times. The staff is always very friendly. Love those fresh cookies when I check in. Breakfast is OK, compares well with other places I've stayed. Nice indoor pool and small workout room. Lots of places to eat and plenty of upscale shopping close by. Bed was a little to firm for my liking and the air conditioner unit was a little noisy but I brought along some ear plugs that took care of that problem. Would definitely stay there again.

Escalade, Lancer and Ram top the list of most targeted vehicles.<br />Detroit Free Press - June 7, 2006
The , Evolution and Quad Cab pickup top the list of car thieves' favorite targets, according to a new study by the insurance industry. Based on an analysis of theft insurance claims for vehicles sold between 2003 and 2005, the Highway Loss Data Institute, an affiliate of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, says those three models have a theft rate four to five times the average for all vehicles. While the number of claims of car thefts across all models has fallen, the average loss paid by an insurer on each claim has risen, especially for pickups.
Unlike other rankings of vehicle theft, HLDI measures how many claims are filed against how many vehicles are insured to come up with a likelihood of any model getting stolen. For 2003 to 2005, the average model had 2.6 claims filed for every 1,000 insured vehicle years. By comparison, the Escalade had 13.2 claims per thousand.
The Escalade topped the rankings for the fourth year in a row. The HLDI said insurers paid an average of $17,910 on every theft claim for a Escalade model, both its SUV and pickup body styles. HLDI said almost one-quarter of theft claims for the Escalade were for $40,000 or more, indicating that thieves often are stealing whole vehicles.
Most vehicles are stolen for parts, such as air bags or high-intensity headlights, which can be stripped and sold.
All Escalades are sold with an ignition cut-off system that keeps the engine from starting without a specific key. HLDI said Cadillac upgraded the antitheft system in the 2007 model, but it was too soon to tell if the system would improve the Escalade's theft rates.
The Lancer Evolution, an all-wheel-drive sports car, made the top of the list for the first time. HLDI said thieves were probably targeting the Lancer Evo for parts to soup up everyday Lancers.
The Dodge Ram was followed closely in the rankings by the and F-350 large pickups. The HLDI said loss claims on pickups had risen in recent years, with payments on the pickups averaging $17,702.
As for the least popular car among thieves? That would be the station wagon, followed closely by the Pontiac Vibe AWD, the LeSabre and the Buick Park Avenue.

—The Washington Post Book World
"Spellbinding.... A passionate tale.... Deliciously portentous: the deceptions woven around these characters introduce a sharp sliver of danger."

About the Author
Sándor Márai was born in Kassa, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1900, and died in San Diego, California, in 1989. He rose to fame as one of the leading literary novelists in Hungary in the 1930s. Profoundly antifascist, he survived the war, but persecution by the Communists drove him from the country in 1948, first to Italy, then to the United States. Embers was published in English for the first time in 2001.See all Product Description

Now, much later, Esther has decided to record every detail of her relationship with Lajos as part of the family history. Moving back and forth in time, Esther creates a vivid picture of Lajos and the magical, mysterious hold he has exerted on everyone, concentrating on his hold over her and her ability to resist (or not resist) his versions of the "truth." When he proposed to the vulnerable Esther, then twenty-two, she recognized him for the charming scoundrel he really was, but she also looked forward to a future with him. What she did not expect was that within weeks he would marry her younger sister Vilma and leave town, maybe forever. Twenty years have passed since they left. Vilma has died, and now Lajos has returned to the village, seeking Esther. Their dramatic confrontation and shared memories are the crux of the novel.
As Esther recalls events three years after Lajos's visit, the reader gradually sees that Esther is not a reliable narrator--nor is Lajos--and as details emerge regarding Lajos's marriage to Vilma, the tension within Esther (and the reader) becomes almost palpable. Lajos, we discover, has been even more devious than anyone has suspected, but as he begins to draw the reader into his orbit, the reader discovers that he may be the one person who comes closest to real self-knowledge. The heart-stopping conclusion leaves the reader in awe of Marai's ability to use dramatic irony to its fullest effect.
A master craftsman who compresses his novels so that every word, image, and detail adds to the atmosphere and suspense, Marai has only recently received the world-wide acclaim he deserves. A highly regarded writer in Hungary in the 1930s, he was forced out of the country in 1948, when his opposition to the Communist takeover made him an enemy of the government. Many of his books were believed lost forever, and none were available in English. In 2000, eleven years after Marai's death, Embers, long thought lost, was found in Italy, translated, and published. Esther's Inheritance, originally written in 1938, is the third novel to be translated and reissued since then. With universal themes and characters who reflect universal human failings, Marai's novels offer a fresh look at the age-old struggle to make sense of a confusing and conflicted world. n Mary Whipple

The fine reviews by Krebsman and Mary Whipple provide a good overview of the plot. What I want to comment on, or ask, concerns the meaning or point of the novel. Surely the following passage, at the very outset of the novel (page 2), is significant in this regard:
"The first time I felt death might be salvation was when I knew that death was resolution and peace. Life alone is struggle and humiliation. And what a struggle it was! Who ordered it, and why was it impossible to avoid? I did all I could to escape it. But my foe pursued me. Now I know he could do nothing about it: we are bound to our enemies, nor can they escape us."
The narrator Esther wrote those words three years after the fateful day that is the subject of the rest of the novel, the day on which Lajos, who almost ruined the lives of Esther and her brother and the rest of her circle twenty-plus years before, re-enters their lives and renews his cynical and destructive toying with Esther. Marai has Esther call Lajos a scoundrel (as translated), but Lajos is even worse: he is a villain, so cavalierly amoral and selfish that he takes on the garb of evil, maybe even the devil incarnate. The mystery is why Esther, who seems to be almost the paragon of level-headedness, submits once again to the transparently false lies and empty promises of Lajos. She seems to explain her decision by agreeing that "there is a kind of invisible order in life and * * * what one has begun one has also to end", echoing Lajos's words, "The law of life is that what is once begun has to be finished." But that is nonsense or, at best, a shabby endorsement of fatalism. And so the novel ends up being exasperatingly unsatisfactory, at least to me.
Perhaps ESTHER'S INHERITANCE is best thought of as a novel of ideas, though, unless I am missing something, not very compelling ones. On the other hand, it is beautifully written, with much of the same ambiance as "Embers." And although it does not begin to measure up to "Embers" (one of the better novels I have read over the past few years), ESTHER'S INHERITANCE is certainly worth reading.

When you have a garage like Jay Leno's – and let's face it, few in the world do – it would take something truly special to get you to either travel far away from your prized collection, or drive any one car more than the 900 others you've got at your disposal. But the 2015 McLaren P1 is just such a car.

You can add McLaren to the list of luxury and sports car companies to say it will not build an SUV, the automaker's CEO Mike Flewitt telling Bloomberg, "We need to remain very focused. McLaren is a sports car brand and that's exactly what we're going to remain." In spite of those words, in order to save his voice, Flewitt should get business cards made printed with that response, since the question will certainly keep being asked.
