Just dropping in for a moment to say...
My book of weight loss success stories, How We Did It, will be published in December!
In the book, I profile about 30 different people who lost weight in 30 different ways, from 20 pounds to 200 pounds. Everything from Atkins to the Zone, and everything in between.
Many of the people in the book have appeared previously in this blog, and some are new. All are inspiring! They set their goals, and they went on to achieve them. Over and over, I heard the word life-changing applied to the miracle of weight loss.
The message of my book is that weight loss isn't a one size fits all proposition. While many of the principles of weight loss are the same, the approaches that weight loss plans take are all different. Nothing in the book worked for everyone, but something worked for everyone
A great, big thank you to everyone you shared your success with me! Look for the book in December. After it is published, I hope to read about many more success stories!

text: 5.0.2 - It seems that my phone doesn't like to have 2 active programs running at the same time. Example: While at the gym, I stream music with Xiia Live. If I hit the home key, go into another app, like JeFit, the music stops playing. So I have to hit 'play' in Xiia again. Same issue when listening to the stock music player. This also happens if I check email while listening to music. The music pauses or stops when I fire up another app. Any solutions? Thanks a bunch.

British hedge fund managers who have fled to Switzerland are in for a rude surprise.
The country that practically invented the terms "off-shore" and "light-touch" is preparing to have a much heavier hand when it comes to its alternative investment funds. If formerly U.K.-based hedge fund managers thought they could skirt tough new European Union regulations—they should think again. Switzerland plans to match them.
The country's Finance Ministry said its parliament will begin debating new rules to bring Switzerland into line with impending EU rules—Switzerland is not a member of the 27-nation bloc—this year, and that the new rules will take effect next year.
Why the change? Switzerland fears that its growing funds industry will be shut out of EU markets when the bloc's new Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive takes effect. Those regulations could block any foreign manager whose local jurisdiction doesn't meet EU regulatory standards.
For Switzerland, that means the number of regulated managers could grow more than six-fold, to almost 600, one Swiss lawyer told Bloomberg News.
It's unclear what effect Switzerland's decision will have on its hedge fund industry. Many of the British funds and managers who relocated to the country did so more to avoid new, higher British taxes than impending EU rules. And if they move to remaining light-touch jurisdictions, such as Monaco or the Channel Islands, they could find themselves locked out of the EU.
The change may have a bigger effect on the Swiss themselves: Switzerland, despite having a population smaller than New York City, is one of the wealthiest countries in the world and is home to a large number of hedge fund investors, who, paradoxically, could be shut out of Switzerland if they fail to meet the stringent new requirements.

text: I met this guy at a coffee shop about two months ago. In those two months we've only been on three dates. He claims he is "busy" and will randomly text me every two weeks to see if I want to go out. Next time he texts me I don't want to ignore him but I would like to make it known that I'm no longer interested. I feel like I'm being stringed along with no chance of this ever becoming a serious relationship. I hate to ignore him or should I say something?

Under normal circumstances, the news that Homeworld and Homeworld 2 might soon be available to buy on Steam or GoG would've been met with merriment and joy. But Gearbox being revealed as the mystery license-buyer produced a mixed bunch of responses, ranging from "Great news! Thanks Gearbox!" to "I want to die."
IncGamers' Peter Parrish looks at why that is.
They actually killed my appetite to play BL2, i hate it now :\
They can't be trusted with anything.
Just because they've swept the colonial marines fiasco under the carpet doesn't mean gamers have forgotten.

Jones Plus bikes with Boost now available for pre-order
The Jones Plus Spaceframe in size 23″
Jones Bikes is now taking orders for its new Steel Plus 148 TA and the Steel Spaceframe Plus 148 TA. These updated models refine what is already an extremely versatile and fun bike by switching to through-axles front and rear and adding an extra bottle boss underneath the downtube to allow you to mount triple-boss cages for more storage capacity. The 148 x 12 mm axle spacing in the rear makes it possible to use all boost 11-speed drivetrains, and the 150 x 15 mm front hub spacing gives you the option of using one of the new Jones generator hubs designed for fat bikes.
The new 150 x 15 mm Jones 150-F hub is also available. It features wide, evenly-spaced flanges that make for a super stiff, super strong wheel. It has a continuous axle with press-on endcaps, which makes a super solid hub-fork connection. As in other Jones hubs, the flanges are canted to match the angle of the spokes, and have cutouts, along with relieved areas inside the hub to save weight wherever possible without sacrificing strength.
Jones also has a new carbon rim to go with the hubs. The C-Rim width is 49 mm inner/56 mm outer to make the tire more stable at low pressures. The 3.5 mm thick sidewalls are super-strong, and their blunt, rounded profile makes them less likely to cut through the tire's sidewall under bottom-out. It's available in both centered, and off-centered drilling so that you can build a dishless wheel in the front and rear.

Sir Ivan Rogers reportedly criticised Theresa May's approach to Brexit during talks with her predecessor weeks before quitting as the UK's ambassador to the European Union.
The diplomat, who has resigned from the civil service with immediate effect after leaving the post in Brussels, held talks with David Cameron before Christmas during which he voiced concerns that the Prime Minister risked heading for a "disorderly" exit from the EU.Sir Ivan has told friends that he fears a so-called hard Brexit would lead to "mutually assured destruction" for the UK and EU, The Sunday Times reported.
The newspaper said the pair dined together towards the end of 2016 and quoted a "source familiar with the conversation" as claiming that Sir Ivan fears the UK is heading for a "car crash".
The source said: "Rogers spoke to Cameron. His biggest fear was that the biggest issue is not hard or soft Brexit, but whether we have an orderly or a disorderly Brexit.
"He thinks we are heading for a car crash, where we don't get a deal and we crash out with nothing.
"Downing Street's view was that he should stop being such a pessimist.
"Rogers thinks we need to plan for a disorderly Brexit on our terms rather than theirs. No 10 has not given that the priority it deserves."
Sir Ivan shocked Westminster and Brussels with his resignation as permanent representative on Tuesday and used an email to staff to criticise "muddled thinking" over Brexit.
The Foreign Office confirmed he had now left the civil service entirely, reports the Press Association.
A spokeswoman said: "He did not seek any further civil service appointment and has therefore resigned from the civil service with immediate effect.
"We are grateful for Sir Ivan's work in Brussels and across a number of other senior positions in the civil service."
It is understood that Sir Ivan will receive three months' pay in lieu of notice, in line with standard Foreign Office terms, but no special "pay off" was offered or sought.
He is being succeeded by career diplomat Sir Tim Barrow, a former ambassador to Russia described by No 10 as a "seasoned and tough negotiator" who will help the Government make a success of Brexit.
In a fiery message to staff announcing his resignation from the Brussels post, Sir Ivan had hit out at the "ill-founded arguments and muddled thinking" of politicians and said civil servants still did not know the Government's plans for Brexit.

Times are changing, and most reporting on the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is stuck in the past. The OIC was founded when a group of Israeli extremists started a fire at al-Aqsa mosque on 21 August 1969 with the hope of destroying it. It is based in Saudi-Arabia (and its current Secretary-General is Saudi: Yousef bin Ahmad Al-Othaimeen), and so in the past proceedings have predictably been dominated by Saudi politics.
It has, therefore, invariably issued fairly lame statements in reaction to Israeli infractions and atrocities, with little action ever displayed. The image that comes to mind is of an old Arab proverb said to originate with Imam Shafi'i: the dogs bark but the caravan moves on – الكلاب تنبح والقافلة تسير (which actually rhymes in Turkish it ürür, kervan yürür), where the caravan is the Israeli colonial project (and you know who the dogs are).
This year, however, the Presidency happened to be held by Turkey, and Erdoğan, who rarely misses a trick, took the opportunity of convening an emergency meeting of the OIC to Istanbul to respond to Trump's outrageous infraction of international law in his unilateral US announcement of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel: 48 states responded to Erdoğan's call within 7 days. The change of venue seems to have brought with it a change of mood. Dogs are second class citizens in Turkey – Turks, and Istanbulites in particular are crazy about cats. The metaphor of the barking dog therefore no longer applies. Erdoğan's performance was more like a cat screeching. So what happens when a cat screeches?
Aside from Turkey leading the OIC conference to officially declare East Jerusalem the capital of Palestine, the Turks vowed to establish an embassy to Palestine there. Erdoğan is also using these declarations as the beginning of a major initiative in the UN both to support Palestinian rights and to sideline the US from any involvement in future Middle East peace talks. Mahmoud Abbas surprisingly echoed this demand, despite the normally supine attitude of the Palestinian Authority towards the US.
But there were a number of extremely important subtexts to the meeting, entirely missed or misunderstood by both Western and Arabic media. Iranian President Rouhani was grinning like a Cheshire cat, pleased that Turkey is in the front like diplomatically on this matter, whilst the overt confrontation in the Middle East is between the Trump administration and his country. The unprecedentedly close relationship between Turkey and Iran forged in the course of the Astana peace process was gaining even more oxygen.
The Trump administration's irrationality in regard to the Jerusalem declaration has all but scuppered US diplomatic credibility in the Middle East, irrespective of its purported ties to the Saudi and Emirati regimes. Now, its collapsing relations with Turkey (after the YPG problem and the Zarrab case, the Jerusalem declaration was the straw that broke the camel's back) means that any hope of putting any kind of regional pressure on Iran, military or otherwise, is totally out of reach.
Some reporters pointed to the absence of the Saudi King at the OIC meeting, tarring the whole enterprise and the conference proceedings with the old 'dogs barking' brush. Mahmoud Abbas spent the day before with King Salman, who, under Trumpist influence, tried to bully him into withdrawing from the conference. It's a surprise Salman's son (MbS) didn't try to kidnap Abbas, to force him to do his bidding, as he did recently in the case of a number senior Saudi royals, and the Lebanese Prime Minister Saad el-Hariri. But Abbas left promptly and backed Erdoğan's call.
This in fact forced Salman's hand. He couldn't as Guardian of the Two Holy Mosques (Mecca and Medina) find himself at odds with the OIC decision, so he pre-empted it, by announcing his backing for the idea of East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. Abbas revelled in announcing this fact to the OIC conference. Some Arab reporters accused him of being undignified in – as it were – carrying Salman's message for him. However, what Abbas in fact did was to highlight the impotence of the Saudi King before the determination of the other members of the OIC conference. It is a deep stain on the al-Saud that they didn't attend, and yet still had to go along with the decisions of the conference.
What is worse for the Saudi King, is that Jordan's King Abdulla, a long-time Saudi ally, took an independent line like Abbas. He also visited Salman prior to the OIC conference, was bullied just like Abbas, and wasn't kidnapped by MbS. In his speech at the conference, Abdulla confirmed the Hashemite dynasty's commitment to the protection of the Islamic Holy Places, and in doing so, upstaged the al-Saud. Abdulla's Hashemite ancestors had traditionally been the guardians of the shrines in Mecca and Medina, only for the British to put the al-Saud in charge instead. Abdulla's speech, quiet and balanced as it was, finally ripped apart the Islamic credentials of the Saudi upstarts.
So when a cat screeches… a bloody scratch follows

The Accountable Community Project is a community wide initiative designed to create a better community by helping organizations create cultures that inspire accountability, growth and development. And, by bringing a cross section of people who care about the community together to identify specific community values and apply them to the areas of Business, Government, Not-For-Profit, Education and Healthcare, discern existing community challenges and create a specific plan for overcoming those challenges.
Communities are at the heart of the American life and drive the economic and agricultural stability of our country. Creating better communities will create a better country. Better communities are created when organizations focus on crating an organizational culture that inspires accountability and when community members come together to talk about their goals, dreams and aspirations. When an Accountable Community is created the life of each of its members is enhanced and their future potential expanded. The Accountable Community Project creates a better, brighter future not only for the people currently living in the community but for the generations to follow.
Let's talk about how we can bring this program to your community.

Conestoga is one of several kindergarten to grade 5 schools in the Heart Lake area of Brampton. Approximately 500 students attend this mostly walk-to school, with a few students in our special education and junior enhanced learning classes riding buses to and from school each day. Conestoga was very excited to welcome full-day kindergarten for the 2012 school year. The school mascot is the cougar, however the school also proudly displays a covered wagon, symbolizing the journey that settlers took on the Conestoga Trail that led them, two centuries ago, north to Canada, The reference to "journey" is also significant in Conestoga's slogan, "Learning for a Lifetime," which recognizes the importance of the continuous path we all travel throughout our daily lives, encountering new experiences and acquiring new knowledge.
The Conestoga community is rich with diversity and alive with activities. The large parent volunteer base, committed school council, enthusiastic student parliament and dynamic staff can always be found engaging with students in clubs, sports and learning.

As is abundantly clear on this blog, I cloth diaper. I chose to do so for many reason and one of the larger ones was the fact that I just couldn't bring myself to add to an already growing problem in our landfills. So I tend to look for other reusable items if I can help it. A lot of times its a smidgen more work for the reusable stuff but when you think about it in the end it's generally worth it. Plus, if you look in the right places you're also helping small businesses by purchasing from them and often purchasing local..
So, after cloth I started looking for other ways to cut waste and be more earth friendly. While we have a loooong way to go to being a greener family, every little step we take helps I think. One place I noticed we were wasting a ton was with the plastic ziplock baggies. We'd take 3 or 4 with us on every little trip/walk with Noah for his snacks. Plus I'd use 2 or 3 in my lunch every day. At one point we'd go thru a box every few weeks. Sure, you can rinse and reuse but often times we'd just crumple and toss because they were so flimsy or they'd get destroyed in the process of Noah digging for his snack. Then I remembered seeing reusable baggies on a cloth diaper website. At the time I laughed at the price – how could something so small cost so much. However, then it dawned on me to check Etsy (because you can find everything on Etsy!) and found these:
DH thought I was nutz for wanting to try it but he's come around too (and although he doesn't use them for his lunch, he uses them for Noah's snacks – which is progress). I first purchased 3 just to see if I would use them. I found myself purchasing another three just a few weeks later. I love them! They're the perfect size for a sandwich or crackers. I usually have two or three in my lunch bag carrying carrots, pretzels, grapes etc. They work well for dry and damp ingredients although I've never tried them with something sopping wet.
Best part is, for the most part you can just rinse them in the sink and let them dry. If they get really soiled I just stick them in the laundry with my dish towels. We've been using them for over a year now and they still look great.
With the next product I wasn't necessarily looking to replace something we were using but rather it was introduced to me by a girlfriend (who happens to make her own babyfood…when she finds the time is beyond me…haha). Anyways, Noah LOVED those cute little pouches of pureed food and we loved that they were packed up and convenient enough to just hand to him while we were on the road. I never thought to even look for a reusable option but there they were – and once I found them, I had to try them. I found a number of others like them spouting various sizes, designs and features but ultimately we decided on the Squooshi brand pouches because of their adorable designs and multiple sizes. They were pretty affordable too.
Noah loves when I put his yogurt or applesauce in them and I've found that Lia's finally able to suck from them which makes feeding her while I'm trying to make dinner for the rest of us a cinch. I just dump her baby food into the Squooshi and hand it over. Maybe someday I'll find enough time to try out some of their home made recipes with quinoia or millet or something fancy like that. For now they're used for packaged baby food, applesauce and yougurt but I'm okay with that. They're so freakin adorable. We do keep a few of the other pouches on hand because they store well (vs. these which are best for fresh foods) but in the overall scheme of things we spend less on pouches than we did in the past.
The next thing I want to tackle is reusable paper towels. I have a pattern that I found on Pinterest and actually made a few for Lia's room to keep next to the rocker. Now I just need to find a pretty pattern and some time to sew.
*I wasn't compensated for this nor was I even prompted by the owners. I just wanted to share a few things that we love around here.

A Saskatoon man is recovering this week after an alleged assault at a bar left his face cut, swollen, and bruised.
Eugene Grosh posted photos of his injuries on Facebook following the alleged altercation at Stan's Place, a bar on Ruth Street near Lorne Avenue. His head was bandaged, his right eye swollen shut. He believes he was attacked because he is gay.
"This is what hate does," he wrote along with his first photo. "It doesn't create solutions. It just hurts."
Police confirmed they responded to a report of an assault at the bar. Spokesperson Alyson Edwards said Grosh told police he was approached by a male in the washroom sometime between 1:30 and 2 a.m. and was punched in the face. Edwards said no charges have been laid, but the file has been sent to the Targeted Enforcement Unit.
She didn't confirm if the incident is being investigated as a hate crime.
An advocate for the LGBTQ community said this incident is an example of the dangers gay people face every day.
"Our lives are always on the line," said OUTSaskatoon's Sean Ryan. "This kind of situation just puts it out there and makes a lot of people realise how unsafe it can be."
Grosh said in a later post he wouldn't let the incident deter him.
"This is why I fight for people's rights," he wrote. "So one day this won't happen. This is a minor setback. It will not stop me. I am gay. I am proud."

Tony's dead. That's what I said.
It was with a touch of sadness and more than a little nostalgia that I read of the recent passing of Tony Giorgianni, or Greasy Tony as he was more widely known. I didn't know the man personally but I had a long history with his restaurant and the news of his death and the likely razing of the last remaining location brought the memories flooding back.
The building that housed Greasy Tony's on East Speedway was originally home to the first Taco Bell that I'd ever seen. While I harbor no fondness for corporate shitbirds, I'll never forget the high-weirdness I felt as a child whenever we drove by the place. Back in the 1970's, every Taco Bell had a charcoal fire-pit out front that would be kept stoked regardless of season or temperature, the flames illuminating the patio after sundown. I'm not sure what they were thinking; maybe it was a nod to some Hollywood version of old Mexico or something. All I know was that in Tucson it made absolutely no sense, even to a kid. One time my dad suggested we go grab some tacos and then roast marshmallows afterward. This did not become a Murphy tradition. When Tony took over he filled the pit in and it became nothing more than a receptacle for trash but every time I saw it I couldn't help but remember an odd chapter in Taco Bell history.
As for Greasy Tony's itself, for me it will be forever linked to my wonderful, indestructible years. During the early 80's, Tony's was one of the gastronomical hubs of Tucson's fledgling oddball music scene. Rent in the area was dirt cheap and the neighborhood was dotted with numerous party houses, crash pads and rehearsal spaces, all within stumbling distance of the restaurant. There, scurrying behind the counter like a sweatier Buddy Hackett, Tony served up some of the most potent gut-bombs in the city to the late-night drink & drug crowd. The variety of sandwich options alone was staggering; I know there were at least fifty-one to choose from since I always ordered the #51 hot.
While the service was usually dicky, it paid to be civil; most of the help looked capable of doing something horrific to your sandwich without giving it a second thought. Staffed predominantly by East-coasty mooks (most likely on the lam for "jumping some fagela" back home) and girls young enough to think smoking made them look adult, the place didn't come close to looking sanitary yet I never got sick from eating there. In fact, more than once I was saved from puking by one of Tony's cheese-steaks, the dripping fat being the perfect remedy for my various other overindulgences.
I stopped frequenting Tony's years ago as age and health concerns crept up on me but all I have to do is close my eyes and I can see the hand-painted menu on the wall and my belly starts rumbling all over again.
Three memories:
* The unmitigated joy of a young punk band after spotting the familiar tilting grease-bottle sign while driving back home after their first gig in Phoenix. Having had no idea there was a Greasy Tony's in the Valley of the Sun, they wolf down their grub with the passion of the starving. The band sucks, the food doesn't.
* Going into Tony's very late one night, stoned out of my gourd. I can't be sure if I've just placed an order, already finished one, need the bathroom key or want quarters for Defender. Tony comes scuttling up to the teeny-bopper helming the register, pulls a nasty looking dill pickle out of a mason jar on the counter and begins poking her in the ribs with it, repeatedly asking, "This remind you of anything honey?" It reminds me to stop going out in public stoned. I wonder what she remembers.
* My wife and I, who met across the alley from Greasy Tony's, figure that if the third anniversary is leather then the fourth must be beef and decide to celebrate with a romantic dinner under the night sky at our old stomping grounds. Our dining experience is enhanced by the presence of Tony himself, who spends the duration of our meal flopped out on one of the cement benches, rubbing his stomach and groaning in agony. The violinist is a no-show.
That was the last time I ever saw Tony, I never even had a chance to belch goodbye.

|Homes Bill
Mr. Brake: The hon. Gentleman uses the term ``law-abiding''. Does he think that a consequence of accepting his amendment would be an increase or a reduction in crime?
Mr. Waterson: As we know, the Liberal Democrats are limp on matters of law and order and have an incredibly simplistic attitude to crime.
I want to deal with two issues. I think that we must all accept that, as a matter of principle, those who have been tried and convicted and served their sentence have paid their debt to society. However, 23,000 or more prisoners have been released early under the Government's early release scheme and a significant number have gone on to commit further crimes. I remind the hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington (Mr. Brake) that that scheme had the full-hearted support of his party's Home Office spokesperson.
My second point is one that I made in an intervention, which is that many ex-offenders released from prison bring with them problems, some of which have been acquired while in prison. It could be a problem with drugs or a simple inability to manage their lives, having been locked in a cell for 23 hours out of 24 and having their entire life regulated. The drugs problem is very significant.
I do not know whether the Minister remembers, but in the late 1960s and early 1970s I was a trustee of the Stonham home in Hammersmith. It was an effective halfway house, principally for ex-offenders, and many of these problems were manifesting at that time. If anything, I am sure that the drugs problem in prison is worse now than it was then. That is an example of why the housing of ex-offenders must be handled sensitively in some situations. I am not suggesting that all ex-offenders have those problems. Many ex-offenders have no problems at all. Having served their sentence, they breathe a sigh of relief, get on with a normal life and never re-offend. We are talking about a minority, but a significant minority.
Mr. Andrew Love (Edmonton): The hon. Gentleman will be aware of the large number of people from institutional backgrounds who find themselves on the street when released from their institutions. If we were to pass the amendment that he is suggesting, would that not consign those people to further time on the streets, where they will have to be picked up by the particular initiatives that we are now undertaking?
Mr. Waterson: I do not accept what the hon. Gentleman says. Our amendment does not suggest that ex-offenders should be treated worse than other peoplesimply that they should not be given any preference over other people. That is perfectly sensible and acceptable. As so often happens with this Government, I suspect that they have floated an idea, more than once, found that it did not float and are now saying that they did not think of it in the first place. Last April, in a statement on the housing Green Paper, the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions commented on media leaks and said:
Mr. Robert Ainsworth: This is a nasty, malicious little amendment; there are no other words to describe it. We made it clear on Second Reading that the Government have never said and are not saying now that convicted criminals should be given priority in housing. When the hon. Member for East Worthing and Shoreham said that our proposals send out a message, he exposed what is happening: the Opposition's deliberate distortion of the Billfor the most disgraceful reasonssends out a transparent message. I repeat what my hon. Friend the Minister for Housing and Planning said on Second Reading: there is no intention to give priority to released prisoners. Local authorities are already under a duty to give priority to vulnerable groups and all that is being proposed is that some people from institutional backgrounds who fall within the category of vulnerable people should be given consideration. Those are the facts. There is no justification for the Opposition's attempts at distortion.
The hon. Gentleman said that was another problem: because there is a finite amount of money, giving some people priority inevitably affects everyone else. What kind of a point is that from a supporter of the previous Government, with their record on housing capital investment? It is the current Government who are putting significant extra resources into housing investmentan extra £1.8 billion over the next three years. The Conservatives are responsible for the current dire straits of housing provision, so it is rich for the hon. Gentleman to suggest that our provisions will adversely affect housing provision for families.
The hon. Member for Eastbourne (Mr. Waterson) suggested that we are lumping released prisoners into the same category as familiesand then cleverly slipped in at the end of his contribution the acknowledgement that that will be left to the discretion of local authorities. The whole tenor of the hon. Gentleman's remarks on the Local Government Bill and this Bill was that Conservatives were trying to act as the friend of local authorities, but his arguments today imply that the authorities are now totally incapable of taking sensible decisions about people in need and about who should get priority.
The strategy behind the Bill is to implement a multi-agency approach to provide people with accommodation that is appropriate to their circumstances and to give them choice wherever possible. Halfway house facilities of the sort to which the hon. Gentleman referred are examples of the facilities that we are discussing and they will be provided through the sort of approach that our proposals will introduce. There is nothing more to say about the amendment, other than that it exposes itself. It is a deliberate and malicious distortion, designed to create an impression that what is being proposed is something other than it is.
It is noticeable that no answer has come from the Member for Eastbourne to the question he was asked about his perception of the amendment's effects on crime levels. Before he replies, I remind him that that he was a supporter of the Government that presided over a doubling of crime in this country. The effect of his amendment will be to take out ex-offenders, put them in a category below and, even when they are most vulnerable, prevent local authorities from looking at their housing needs separately. That is what he says he is trying to achieve, and is presenting to the British people. If he believes that that is any sort of strategy for dealing with crime in this country, which is far too prevalent, he should answer the hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington and explain what on earth he thinks the amendment's effect on crime would be.
I ask the Committee to reject the amendment. It is clear to everyone concerned that it is a nasty, malicious amendment that is deliberately designed to distort the intent of the Bill.
Mr. Loughton: We have really touched a raw nerve. Neither the debate nor the amendment would have been necessary had the Government made absolutely crystal clear when replying to what they are now calling ``distorted'' or ``malicious rumours'' their real intentions for changing the regulation in relation to dealing with institutionalised ex-offenders. They failed to do that. The Minister for Housing and Planning did not make that clear on Second Reading, despite the claim that he did. It was patently unclear.
There was no follow-up to the stories in the press, which is why it was necessary to table the amendment to get to the bottom of the truth. Let us deal with the extraordinary claims comingnot unusuallyfrom the Liberal Democrats. The hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington raised two points. First, he asked would the amendment lead to an increase or decrease in crime? The amendment would have no effect on that. What we are not doing, as he again put it, is excluding people. The amendment would not exclude anyone. The people to whom it refers are already not included, so the amendment does not exclude them. That comment completely misreads the amendment. We are not saying that those people should be treated differently, separately or prejudicially. We are asking purely for a level playing field and for that to be clearly stated. A change in ex-prisoners' position would be the result of the Government's changing the regulation.
The Under-Secretary of State is out of touch with reality if he believes that people on homeless waiting lists up and down the countrythere are many of them, but we shall not debate the exact figures againthink that everything is fine and dandy and that they are being treated fairly. He and I both know that many of those homeless people, some of whom come to our constituency surgeries, do not think that they are being treated fairly; they give examples of other people who seem to get their house faster, or who get a better flat or house. There is already a great feeling of inequity amongst many people in desperate circumstances. There is a view out thereput in the press before we ever tabled the amendmentthat yet another class of people would be added to the priority classifications above them on their waiting list, that would add to that feeling of unfairness. That feeling exists, whatever Ministers say, or whatever we do in Committee. Unless the proposals on the regulationswhich, we are delighted to learn, will not now be proposedare scotched once and for all, that feeling of inequity will increase.

Delhi: One killed, 12 hurt as speeding car runs over sleeping people
A 20-year-old man was killed and a dozen others were injured when an inebriated driver allegedly lost control of his speeding sports utility vehicle and drove into a pavement in north Delhi's Kashmere Gate on Sunday night.delhi Updated: Aug 19, 2014 00:36 IST
A 20-year-old man was killed and a dozen others were injured when an inebriated driver allegedly lost control of his speeding sports utility vehicle (SUV) and drove into a pavement in north Delhi's Kashmere Gate on Sunday night.
All the victims were homeless people sleeping on the pavement located some metres from Nigam Bodh Ghat.
The accident took place around 10.30 pm near Yamuna Bazar bus stop on Ring Road.
The errant driver, identified as Rishi Kumar, was driving his Mahindra Quanto SUV towards West Vinod Nagar in east Delhi from Timarpur. Police said the driver's sister-in-law was also in the vehicle.
The accused attempted to flee but were caught by locals who handed him over to the police.
Rishi reportedly runs a property business and provides his vehicle on rent. He told the police that he lost control of his vehicle while trying to save a motorcyclist on the road.
Eyewitnesses said dozens of homeless people were sleeping on the pavement between two lanes of a road on Ring Road. The vehicle was coming from the Kashmere Gate side.
"All of a sudden, it took a sharp right turn and within no time climbed onto the nearly two-feet high pavement.
The vehicle ran over some people sleeping on the pavement before coming to a stop after hitting a broken portion. Four people were trapped under the car when it stopped. We toppled the vehicle to rescue them," said Mohan, a ragpicker and one of the survivors.
After the accident, the woman emerged from the vehicle and stood by the road side while the errant driver tried to escape, Mohan said.
Another eyewitness, Sanjay, said most people sleeping by the roadside woke up immediately and caught the driver. Sanjay received minor injuries on his leg.
Ramanand, a eyewitness, said he was on the other side of the road and awake at the time of the accident. "The driver had one hand on the steering and another outside the vehicle's window," he recounted.
The victims were taken to Sushruta Trauma Centre, Bara Hindu Rao Hospital and Aruna Asaf Ali Hospital.
Twenty-year-old Iqraj, a homelsss man, succumbed to his injuries at the trauma centre on Monday morning.
Incidentally, there are five temporary shelter homes for homeless people located near the accident spot.

The World Revolution 1937-1936
THE REPUTATION OF THE AUTHORS MAKES THIS THE MOST dangerous of the unofficial Stalinist books. It is necessary to expose it thoroughly, and this is very easily done. We are not concerned with factual slips. These are inevitable in any large and comprehensive book, may be quite serious, and yet not invalidate the book as a whole or a particular argument. We are concerned with basic structural errors.
1. The Webbs do not understand the agricultural question in the Soviet Union.
They say (p. 246) that "only 20 per cent of collectivization had been contemplated during the first year." Elsewhere (p. 565) they say again that collectivization was planned to take place at the rate of 10 per cent per year. This is completely wrong. On page 300 we give the references which show that 10 per cent was the programme for five years. This double mistake is no accidental slip. Every line of their account shows that they have accepted completely the great change from 20 per cent in five years to Stalin's "liquidation of the kulak as a class," without a thought for the industrial resources which the change demanded, and which made it certain to be the ruinous experiment that it was. You cannot collectivize 20 per cent or 80 per cent at will. But you can try, with the results that we have seen.
Of the Left Opposition and the kulak they say (p. 243): "This faction demanded the most drastic measures for the suppression of the kulaks, but failed to make clear by what means it proposed to increase the agricultural output of the minute holdings of the majority of poor peasants otherwise than by the slow spread of one or other form of voluntary co-operation."
Every fact is wrong. On pages 271-272 we summarise the Platform on agriculture, with a long quotation. The Opposition did not demand drastic suppression of the kulak, but "an all-sided limitation of the efforts of the kulak to exploit." The Opposition made it quite clear that collectivization on the basis of industrialization was the only road towards Socialism.
The Opposition explicitly condemned the idea of Bucharin and Stalin that voluntary co-operation could bring Socialism. We have quoted Stalin on page 211 laying it down in 1925 that re-equipment of factories and expansion of industrial capital had nothing to do with Socialism. We have shown at length that for four years the Opposition fought this costly Stupidity. We have shown on page 291, that it was only in April, 1929, that Stalin announced as a new discovery what had been hammered into his head for six years. Only space prevents us giving more evidence. The Webbs do not understand this controversy at all. Those who look askance on the Trotskyist criticism of the Soviet Union should ponder why those who support Stalinism as against Trotskyism can do so only by propagating the most grotesque blunders.
2. The Webbs juggle with Socialism in a Single Country.
If the peasantry and industrialization was the practical question of the Soviet Union, Socialism in a single country is the theoretical question which cannot be avoided. The Webbs are believers in Stalin's theory. By Socialism, say Stalin and all the Stalinists, Lenin meant what exists in Russia to-day. The Webbs go one better. "What the proletariat of every country means by Socialism is the suppression of the landlord and capitalist, together with the profit-making motive, by collective ownership, in a condition of social equality, with the universalization of security by the appropriate organization Of social services" (p. 1103). So it is not Lenin according to the Webbs, but the proletariat. Doubtless the proletariat of Western Europe and America will be glad to know that that is what it means by Socialism. But the Russian proletariat has some experience of Stalin's Socialism. The Russian worker, with his sixty shillings a month, watching the technician or high official pass by in one of the limousines, or hearing of the collective farmer with his 100 to 150 sheep, ten cows, ten horses, camels, etc., does he think as the Webbs do? We can only guess. For Stalin sees to it that nobody discusses an alternative view. Do the Webbs know of the workmen, who, says Pravda of August 11th, were arrested for having the "impudence" to discuss Socialism in a single country? And, if so, what sort of Socialism is this that does not allow itself even to be discussed? And why all the trials and the shooting and the thousands of Trotskyists arrested? Why do the Trotskyist "conspirators" capture the Communist Party organisations of Kiev and Rostovdon (Pravda, January 4th)? Is it that the Russian proletariat has other ideas of what Socialism should mean than those Stalin presents them with? Stalin at least passes the baby on to Lenin to hold. The Webbs pass it on to the proletariat.
But this subject, too, has a history. The Webbs cannot evade it, and the subterfuge they adopt is painful even to point out. They say (p. 1101) that neither Marx nor Engels nor Lenin, "no one had directly and explicitly grappled with the particular problem in the light of all the facts, economic, social and political, even as they were in 1845 or in 1905; and, of course, these great authorities were none of them conversant with the state of things in 1925, which alone was relevant to the issue."
Marx and Engels had not grappled with the problem. Neither had Lenin in 1905. We will not argue about that. The Webbs are entitled to their opinions once it is understood that these are their opinions. But they have to deal here with history. If even Lenin, poor man, had not examined the question as he ought, at least he had ideas on the question. He had them in 1905. But he had them in 1923 when he ceased to write. Stalin had the same ideas in 1924. The Webbs have not the nerve to say, as Stalin does, that Lenin always said that Socialism could be built, so they stop at 1905. Lenin died in 1924. Stalin produced his theory in autumn 1924. The Webbs skip all that and begin in 1925 "these great authorities were none of them conversant with the state of thing in 1925, which alone was relevant to the issue."
Lenin's whole position held to his death, Stalin's crude volte-face tire Webbs simply put 1905 and hop over to 1925. It is a very poor case that needs such defence.
Now for the actual arguments they use as to why Socialism in a single country is possible. Even with the definition of Socialism which they fasten on to the proletariat, they have a heavy field to plough. They claim that Marx and Engels did not dream of the monopoly of foreign trade. Do they really believe that Marx and Engels thought that collective ownership would come all over the world at once? Or that if it came in any one country they would calmly advocate free trade and allow Capitalism to ruin the nascent Socialist industry? To support Stalinist history and politics you have to make ignoramuses and fools of Marx and Engels.
They say (p. 1102) that another of the objections to Socialism in a Single Country is the fact that if it were established it would be destroyed by hostile Capitalisms. Who made that argument we do not know. The Webbs say that it is irrelevant to the issue. Every Trotskyist will agree fervently. We who deny the possibility of something have little time to argue as to what would happen if it took place. But the Webbs go on (p. 1102): "Unless the objectors wished all attempts at industrial reconstruction of the U.S.S.R. to be abandoned, and the penury and periodical famine to be continued, whilst waiting for the socialist revolution to take place in the capitalist countries....."
This of Trotskyists, with their long fight for the plan, sneered at as super-industrialists for years. Let the reader turn to chapter VIII, particularly pp. 202-208.
But the limit is reached in what they term is the final Trotskyist objection. "It was, so Trotsky alleged, the policy of a narrow nationalist egoism, unworthy in the successors of Lenin, Engels and Marx. Better, far, it was said, devote all the energies of the U.S.S.R. to the tasks of the Comintern." It is difficult to restrain oneself at this malicious slander. "Better far, it was said." Whoever said that? When? Where? We are accustomed to this, coming from all sorts of nondescript Friends of the Soviet Union. What is it doing in a book of this kind? The mere phrasing, "it was said," shows what the authors think of the validity of the argument, but again, this is where you land, whatever your gifts, whatever your training, when you set out to defend Stalinism against Trotskyism. The best way is to put on a pair of blinkers, get the loudest megaphone possible and shout "Socialism victorious in the U.S.S.R." "Trotskyism is Fascism," etc., as insistently as possible. One gets to believe it in time if it is shouted long and loudly enough. but reasoned, historical argument, no. It cannot be done.
The Webbs end with an argument that the Stalinists do not use, for obvious reasons. They say that the world revolution was a proved failure, and therefore it was the only thing left to do, this building of Stalin's Socialism. Bourgeois nationalism, bourgeois empiricism, the shallowness of bourgeois political thinking are here amply demonstrated. For the Webbs, Socialism could always have been built. Lenin and Trotsky wanted the world revolution, probably because it was a fine thing. But once you saw that you couldn't have it, then you naturally turned back to the building of Socialism; that is neither Marxism, nor Leninism, nor Stalinism. Marxism, Leninism, Trotskyism, preach the interdependence of world economy and therefore of world politics. The world revolution was and is a necessity for Russia. Over 1,000 million pounds is being spent on armaments this year in the Soviet Union. Socialism can only come when that money, for instance, is going into production for use and not for destruction. Such expenditure means poverty for the population, necessary though it is. The necessity proves the folly of Stalin's theory. Russian economy could have been developed without cultivating idiotic and costly illusions. The world crisis played havoc with Soviet economy in 1930-1933. A World war may shatter the basis of collective ownership. The Webbs switch over from world revolution to national Socialism more easily than they cross the road. Even Stalin took a little more trouble. Show the workers of the world what Socialism can do, and that will bring world Socialism infinitely quicker than revolution. That is their argument. The workers and peasants of Catalonia found other more urgent arguments. France and not Soviet statistics stimulated their desire to emulate the Soviet Union. The Webbs should found a society for converting Hitler, Japanese Imperialism and Baldwin to the theory of Socialism in a single country. They and the classes they represent need conversion--by those who have the time.
These are the principles on which the book is based. It has much useful detail. But on major issues its history is wrong in a score of places, and its political insensitiveness (we have given an example on p. 369) is a thing to wonder at. Of the arrest for the Kirov murder of Zinoviev and Kamenev, they say (p. 560) that it was "open to misconstruction." The penalties of Soviet secrecy on such matters is that the "world at large puts a bad construction on everything" (p. 560), and the arrest and summary execution of so many persons "could not but excite adverse comment," etc., and much in the same strain, like the Times whitewashing some brutality of the British Imperialists in India. And for the same reason. The ice is so thin that the skaters do not even wish to pretend that they have crossed it. Stalin, they argue, is no dictator. The proof they give is irrelevant. Such a statement needs no proof. Finally (p. 1042) there is this priceless passage: "When, however, the Soviet Government feels itself as secure as the British Government does, there seems no reason why popular lectures and speeches at open meetings and discussions in cheap pamphlets and newspapers, should be any more restricted than they are in England," and "We may hopefully expect that, with the Soviet characteristic of universalism in all its administration, those in authority in the U.S.S.R. will, in due season, take this view." The only answer to this piety is Amen.
Is this what the proletariat (according to the Webbs) mean by Socialism? So the British Government, with its Sedition Bill and Public Order Bill, is the standard of security of Stalin's Socialism. Andre Gide has dropped his Stalinism at last. The Webbs have performed eminent services to the working-class movement by their sociological studies. But nothing will be so valuable as a book from them on the lines of Gide's Return from the U.S.S.R., recanting their Stalinist follies. Support of the Soviet Union? Yes. It is to their credit that they align themselves on the side of the Workers' State. But in the last analysis their book does infinitely more harm than good, for the simple reason that it is false; and falsehood has no place in the Socialist movement. If they wish to help Lenin's work they must use Lenin's intellectual methods. He never spread any fables about the Soviet Union. Why should they? That is bourgeois and Stalinist. But workers do not need it. The workers must beware of all these new recruits to Stalinism. The Webbs transfer their discredited "inevitability of
gradualism" to a new field. Its discredit there will be swifter than it was in Western Europe. The Soviet Union depends on the world revolution, and not all the authority of the Webbs, Stracheys and Maurice Dobbs can alter the laws of history, though they can confuse the workers striving to see the light, and thus bring nearer the catastrophe which
we all wish to avert.

Cotton Value Chain: Skill Gap Analysis of Service Providers
A study was conducted to find out the knowledge and skill gaps of the input suppliers and service providers in the cotton sector. Three categories of respondents were interviewed, i.e. extension workers, fertilizer dealers and pesticide dealers. Objectives of the study were to carry out a situation analysis of the input markets, identify skill gaps and propose suggestions for improvement. Capacity building of all these groups will not only lead to improvement in the quality and yield of the cotton crop, but will also bring improvement in the business sector in general and the farming sector in particular.

Being in the DRTV media industry gives me a unique perspective when people start discussing commercials they enjoyed seeing on television.
Many times they say how funny or clever a commercial was. And I always ask, "what was the product being advertised?"
Nine out of ten times I get blank, thinking stares. Then they'll say, " I don't remember, but I think it was for some company…"
That just kills me. It hurts every bone in my body.
Some client paid good money for that commercial. They paid good money for the media placement. And the outcome is they entertained viewers. And that was about it.
Cue the age-old debate: how much steak and how much sizzle? The "sizzlers" argue entertainment sells; you feel good about the product, you're more likely to buy. The "steakers" believe information is king. Tell 'em, tell 'em and tell 'em again.
Can't we all just get along?
Obviously, advertising clutter is the norm and eyeballs are being assaulted and fought over at every turn. So yes, you have to cut through and engage. Big time.
But you can never forget the importance of effective, efficient communication.
It comes down to finding the balance between entertaining and selling. At the end of the day, viewers need to know what the product is, the benefits they offer, and what they can do to buy it – call, go online, go to the store, etc. If your commercial isn't making these key points clear to your target, why run it at all?

Nirmala Sitharaman joined External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj as the second female member of the Cabinet Committee on Security. Her elevation is seen as a major step towards women's empowerment in India.
In the biggest change in the Cabinet reshuffle, Nirmala Sitharaman was appointed India's first-ever first full-time woman Defence Minister.
She listed Make in India as a priority on her agenda, as the in-charge of 1.6 million military personnel. Sitharaman, 58, a Rajya Sabha member, is the second woman to take charge of the ministry. Indira Gandhi, as the prime minister, had also held the portfolio in the 1970s.
With Sitharaman's elevation, she joined External Affairs minister Sushma Swaraj as the second female member of the Cabinet Committee on Security. She thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah for the step, which is seen as a major one towards women's empowerment in India.
For inducting women in combat roles – an issue which has been debated and talked about for a long time, the minister assured that she would "study the issue with an open mind and then take a call".
The Armed Forces and the Defence ministry are discussing the issue of women in combat. A policy covering all the aspects of their employment and deployment in the forces in battle zones and platforms, is under development.
On the need to work towards Make in India in the defence sector, Sitharaman said, "This will be one of my focus areas".
Under Modi's Make in India in defence programme, India is looking to build strategic systems such as submarines, fighter planes and helicopters within the country itself, develop an indigenous defence industry, and cut reliance on foreign equipment for the armed forces.
Asked how she planned to tackle the issues faced by her ministry, Sitharaman said she would discuss these issues in detail after assuming charge but would take decisions in consultation with all the stakeholders under the guidance of the PM. Sitharaman will take charge as Defence minister on Wednesday after her predecessor Arun Jaitley's return from Japan.
"I will assume office on Wednesday as incumbent Arun Jaitley is going to Japan in his capacity as Defence minister of the country," she said.
As the Defence minister, she will face the challenges of modernising the armed forces, which face issues of obsolescence in weapons and equipment.
The minister will soon start getting briefings by the Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force and their roles and responsibilities under her as Defence minister and the security challenges faced by the country from China and Pakistan, along with their modernisation requirements.

Vedder Tuesday ⅩⅩⅠ: The End
Wow! Twenty-one!
I'm in a place today where I can post lyrics to this song without (probably) crying -- shout-out to those intimate enough to grok that, and a louder one to those who know why -- so I should take the chance.
The End
What were all those dreams we shared
Those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made
Now left beside the road?
Behind us in the road?
More than friends, I always pledged
'Cause friends they come and go
People change, as does everything
I wanted to grow old
Just want to grow old
Slide on next to me!
I'm just a human being
I will take the blame,
But just the same
This is not me
You see
I'm better than this
Don't leave me so cold!
Or buried beneath the stones!
I just want to hold on
And know I'm worth your love
I don't think
There's such a thing
It's my fault, now I've been caught
A sickness in my bones
How it pains to leave you here
With the kids on your own
Just don't let me go!
Help me see myself
'Cause I can no longer tell
Looking out from the inside of
The bottom of a well
I yell --
It's hell --
But no one hears
Before I disappear
Whisper in my ear
Give me something to echo
In my unknown future's ear
My dear --
The End --
Comes near --
I'm here --
But not much longer
[Fuck. Ed, you bastard. So close to making it without tears. And you ended an album with this.]

Crime Spree
Bangle's designs bring attention to BMW
by JASON STEIN/Wheelbase Communications
November 1, 2004
Imagine being Chris Bangle. Imagine being the head of BMW design, the automotive artist who sketches the look of the future and casts the die for generations to come. Imagine being unpopular. Don't believe it? Just ask him. "I'm a cottage industry," Bangle recently told The Car Connection, an auto enthusiast website. "Without me, a lot of . . . folks wouldn't have anyone to write about. " Without Bangle, today's most controversial figure in the world of auto design, an industry would indeed have less to say. There wouldn't be the criticism over his edgy redesign of BMW's flagship sedan, the 2002 7-Series, with the bulbous rear end. There wouldn't be the complaints over the tall X3 sport-utility vehicle or the daring, shark-like gills of the Z4 convertible.
Series changes subtly for '04
by MALCOLM GUNN/Wheelbase Communications
August 1, 2003
Crowned the best of the best - year after year - and a car that the rest of the industry scrambles to match, the BMW 3 Series is already considered the pinnacle of European style and performance prowess. Now what? For 2004, BMW will continue its don't-mess-with-perfection approach, almost daring anyone to spot the subtle changes to its coupe and convertible versions. When contemplating alterations to the company's most popular model, tweaking, trimming and incorporating mild body revisions is as far as the designers dared to go. Perhaps that's as much as its loyal group of contented buyers - about 150,000 strong in 2002 - are prepared to accept.
Trial in fatal city accident nearing
by GREGORY T. SIMMONS
June 8, 2003
email@example.com A Hagerstown man charged in an October accident on Mount Aetna Road in which two people died is scheduled for a trial later this month in Washington County District Court. Matthew David Meyer, 23, of 11010 Sani Lane faces two counts of negligent manslaughter by automobile in the deaths of Gerald Eugene Dietrich, 59, and Mary Ellen Dietrich, 61, who lived on the 2000 block of Academy Lane in Hagerstown. Meyer also was charged with multiple violations including reckless driving, negligent driving, failing to control his vehicle's speed to avoid a collision and passing in a no-passing zone.
It's a 'sport/activity' vehicle if you please
by JASON STEIN/Wheelbase Communications
January 23, 2004
Call it athletic. Call it versatile. But please, BMW respectfully asks, just don't call the new X3 something it's not. The German automaker has never been one to travel the path of the common automaker, which is why, in a sport-utility segment that's bursting at the seams, BMW is offering its very own interpretation of what buyers really want in all-weather transportation. For 2004, it's something called the X3. And, in this case, X marks the spot for sport/activity. In an automotive world dominated by utilitarian vehicles labeled either cute, sporty, or cute and sporty, leave it to an industry leader such as BMW to want to define itself based on what its vehicles do and not what they look like.

M1 lost its race with time
by MALCOLM GUNN/Wheelbase Communications
August 24, 2003
The M1was originally built to win races and influence customers, but ultimately lost the race against time. With its mid-engine location, low weight and impressive output, the M1 seemed to have all the right ingredients to make it competitive. And, back in 1975, that's exactly what BMW's motorsports division wanted: a win-at-all-costs machine that could outduel the Porsches and other European makes in production-class track battles. Under international rules, "production class" meant that BMW had to build a minimum of 400 M1s for the street before the car would be allowed to compete on the track.

Ebay watch 1951 Mercury "Woody" wagon, sold, $15,050: No matter the year, make or model of a car, if it's a "woody" with real wooden doors and trim, you know it's a keeper. This '51 Mercury is neat for the simple fact that it's a two-door and not a four-door wagon. The car is in need of a full-on restoration, although the seller says the car is complete and runs and drives well. Since you can't put a price on nostalgia, it's no wonder the car sold for a top bid of $15,050.

With their mother in no shape for visitors and an outpouring of support for her and her family, Brittany Heller and Terry Doyle put Brigitte Heller's emergency services truck in her Sharpsburg Pike front yard on Sunday to give people another outlet to express their support and thoughts, Doyle said. People continued to stop by the vehicle, about seven miles south of Hagerstown, to gather, talk, hug and cry on Monday. "My mom worked all the time, and as sick as she is and everything, no one could really visit her at the hospital," said Doyle, 32. Brigitte Heller, 51, is a Washington County emergency medical services coordinator who trains the county's volunteer emergency services crews.

BMW 's 3 Series adds a new diesel dimension
By MALCOLM GUNN/wheelbase communications
December 5, 2008
For years the BMW 3-Series has been home to a wide range of products geared to nearly every entry-luxury taste. Now you can add an economical-to-operate diesel-powered sedan to the current list of gas-powered coupe, sedan, wagon and convertible models. Diesel Bimmers are not completely new here, but you would have to go back to the short-lived 1984-'85 524td to find the last propeller-logoed oil burner to find sanctuary in a select few North American garages. Now the four-door 335d turbo-diesel is arriving and it's a very big deal for the German automaker since it's emissions legal in all 50 states.

It's a whole new BMW ballgame in 2007
by MALCOLM GUNN / Wheelbase Communications
December 1, 2006
Why does the automotive world breathlessly wait for each new BMW product to hit the streets? One look at the company's latest 3-series coupe graphically explains this recurring phenomenon. At one time, there wasn't much to differentiate two- and four-door versions of BMW's North American entry-point models, apart from the obvious. Both featured squared-off shapes that accentuated practicality (i.e. plenty of rear-seat leg and head space) over styling concerns. For 2007, it's a whole new ballgame.

Mini Cooper joins the convertible crowd

July 22, 2005
You know the world has become a vastly different place when an icon of British econo-car understatement turns into a wind-in-your-hair funmobile. Yet, that's exactly what has happened to this bold little car that makes a corner seem like a straight line. The Mini has been a much-in-demand transportation device since its 1959 inception. It became the car to drive, primarily for Brits seeking an inexpensive alternative to bicycles, motorcycles and public transportation. The car also became a fashion statement for upper-class trendies to drive around swinging London.

Here's How a Family of 4 Lives in 640 Square Feet
A while back we showed you a Brooklyn apartment where a family of three lives in 675 square feet. Today we're taking it to the next level, with a family of four who lives in an even smaller 640 square foot home. Here's how they do it. Hint: there are lots and lots of built ins.
Before moving in, this family of four, which consists of Michael and Joanne, son Jonah, and baby Esther, commissioned Margarita McGrath and Scott Oliver, of Noroof Architects, to make this small space work for their young family. The abundance of built-ins and shiplike efficiency was inspired in part by Jonah's love of pirates.
In the living/dining room, a table folds down from the wall for family meals (or homework). Behind it is a wall of bookshelves. And though the kid's room pictured above is awfully narrow, there's still room for a bed AND a desk thanks to this ingenious furniture design, which folds down from the wall to become a desk and then flips over to become a bed at night. Built-in storage covers the walls, and if you look closely, you'll see that there is storage in the floor, as well. The architects used literally every square inch of available space.
The kitchen, which occupies a long, narrow space between the front door and the living room, also has plenty of built-ins, like this slide out pantry cabinet. There's plenty of room for Michael to indulge his love of cooking, and plenty of room for the rest of the family to gather around. Michael and Joanne admit that when Esther gets a little older and starts collecting more toys, they may outgrow their current storage and have to look for a new place. But for now this little apartment is the perfect family home.
To see more of the apartment and read more about the renovation, check out the full story from Dwell.
