The F48 X1 will also make a departure from the current X1 by making the switch from RWD to FWD. It's been built on BMW's FWD "UKL" platform and should be offered in both FWD and AWD models. The UKL platform will also underpin the next generation 1 Series.
Why the switch to FWD? Typically, FWD allows for better packaging, less costly production and more interior space.
There are rumors that the X1 will be xDrive only in some markets, including for North America. Engines will … CONTINUED
It all started with an X. This letter was first used as a model designation for a BMW automobile as early as in the mid-1980s to indicate that it featured four-wheel drive technology. The car's dual symmetry was the ideal allegory for the transmission of drive torque to all four wheels. 15 years ago, the letter X became the symbol of an entirely new vehicle category and, at the same time, of a very special form of driving pleasure. The BMW X5 made its … CONTINUED
The rumormill churns for the next gen M5/M6 returning to an all new V10 engine, and the introduction of a X1 M model and M5 Touring based off the upcoming G31 5 Series Touring?
We just got the first camouflage-free look at the next BMW X1′s front fascia (minus headlights) during hot-weather tests in the California desert.
Up until now, all X1s have had their entire front fascias covered in plastic panels, hiding all signs of its true front-end design treatment. Those panels impede airflow, however, so the test team wanted to get an accurate reading on the cooling performance of the production front-end in the 120-degree heat. They thought they could get away with a quick, camo-free run….but … CONTINUED
Development continues on the next generation (F48) 2016 BMW X1, slated for a 2015 release.
Compared to the E84, the F48 X1 features a shorter front end, shortened overhangs and a taller and more upright greenhouse. While some may mistaken the E84 X1 for a larger wagon, there's no mistaking the upcoming F48 X1 as a compact SAV.
The F48 X1 will also make a departure from the current X1 by making the switch from RWD to FWD. It's been built on BMW's FWD … CONTINUED
PSI lined up their Sakhir Orange M4 and Valencia Orange X1 to give us a good look at how the two colors compare.
We've uploaded the first video of the BMW X1 (F48) testing on the Nurburgring. Check it out inside.
Autobild get closer with new BMW X1 rendering.
In some markets, including the North American market. The F48 X1 is going to be xDrive only.
This rendering is very close indeed. The front is very similar, with a dynamic sweep of the headlights. A feature on the next generation 7er, 5er and new X7.
And although it is shown as the M Sport in this render. The front fascia aligns with the new X family signature but looks more sporty to appeal to younger customers. The rear … CONTINUED
Sadly I am embarrassed to say yet another Montreal overpass has started to crumble. Happened a couple of blocks from my office. I can still see the news chopper hovering over the scene.
Luckily these two ladies in the X1 which I assume were the occupants weren't hurt. Imagine it had fallen through the roof or windshield instead of the engine?
New F48 X1 video as of January 6, 2014. We bring you the first live looks at the 2016 X1 (F48) prototypes. The F48 recently began its testing in August-September and while still heavily camouflaged, the test mules reveal a brawnier and stockier look than the current E84 X1. Compared to the E84, the F48 X1 features a shorter front end, shortened overhangs and a taller and more upright greenhouse. While some may mistaken the E84 X1 for a larger wagon, there's no … CONTINUED
Here's a preview of what you should expect to see from the upcoming BMW model pipeline, covering everything from the F16 X6 to the G11/G12 7 Series.

It's really surprising when a place exceeds your expectations. I expected a town more or less like any other, with a couple of canals for the tourists.

my husband yelling problem
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 10-18-2005 - 12:42pm
I have a husband that is hot tempered and yells when he is mad.
I tried to tell him that yelling is abuse! He will not go to counceling.
I admit I yell sometimes but not to the tone my husband uses.
our daughter is seven years old almost eight in a few weeks.She gets very moody and if she does not get her way she becomes a animal.Last week she saw the pumpkin patch and wanted to go but I said we will see because it is so hot outside- the entire time at the mall she drove me crazy and then I said no now we are not going. She made such a scene at the mall screamimg and calling me a evil witch, everyone was wacthing us. I did not yell at her and tried to calm her down but she was so mad. My husband would of yelled at her and put her in the car( I am glad he was not there). Most of our fights are about our daughter and how to discipline her. It makes me very nervous when he yells. our daughter does not listen to a nice tone she will keep it up, She will throw things, slam doors, yell. She also argues about where we eat all the time- if we go somewhere that she is not to fond of you will not enjoy your dinner and will get into a fight over this.I am at the end of my rope! I am a nervous person and get panic attacks

I'm brand new here but just wanted to say that our elementary school (grades K-4) uses Love and Logic. The teachers & staff are trained to use it with their students, and the school counselor offers classes on it for parents (which I am currently attending). If you go to their website (not sure of the name, but if you do a search on "love and logic" you'll find it), you'll see they have several titles of books, audiotapes, etc. available.
Good luck,

Twenty-five people at the heart of the meltdown ...Submitted by Jefferson2 on Tue, 01/27/2009 - 05:35
The worst economic turmoil since the Great Depression is not a natural phenomenon but a man-made disaster in which we all played a part. In the second part of a week-long series looking behind the slump, Guardian City editor Julia Finch picks out the individuals who have led us into the current crisis
the article does a good job of exposing R's & L's
but not putting Paulson & Frank in it, is criminal.
What a piece of Neocon propaganda
They didn't include Paulson or Frank, but they have the gall to include the American people?!!! I was no part of this scam, I'm just going to pay the bill. I reaped no benefits nor ever lived beyond my means, but I will share in the misery those liars have created, while they walk away with fat bonuses.
This is what upsets me the most.
The fact that they are trying to lay the blame at the feet of the American people. I am saying that this list is a start to exposing and holding those responsible accountable.
Thanks for adding to the list.
Now if we could get the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the rest of the CFR, Tri Lateral, Bildeberg, and Media scum that have caused this, we would be well on the way to correcting the problem...
I'd be willing to bet that they would back off, if everyone knew where they lived.

I had the same thoughts about Murdoch.
But are you saying that NONE of these people are responsible for the mess we are in? Would you rather lay it on the backs of the American public, like the media is trying to do?
By all means, add to the list if you can. That is why I brought it up. It is time to start making lists of these people. They supposedly have a list on us, well we can have a list of them as well.

Isn't it
interesting that you never hear their name mentioned on the news or read it in print. Why? You would think a family with all that power and money would peak the interest of some enterprising reporter.
That is if true reporters still exist.
Have no idea if it's true or not, but I've read they hold on to all that power and money by only marrying within the family.
"enterprising reporter."
an investigative journalist is a very rare breed indeed. Hopefully their inbreeding will lead to some genetic disease, and they will die a slow painful death.

On The Cost of Getting Into the New York City Marathon
$221 entry fee?? That is insanity. I've run 6 big city marathons around Europe and they've all cost roughly €70 max ($88). I think even London, which is similar to NYC in terms of difficulty to get into (and which I didn't get into again for next year grrr), costs about £70/$110.
On Chatting About Work Trips and Expense Guilt
I found out after about 6 months of dating my exboyfriend that he expensed nearly all our dates as "dinner or drinks with potential client". Eventually he got fired. (For that? I don't know. We had already broken up.)
On The Cost of Getting a Green Card
@garysixpack Same situation with citizenship, I think it's 5 years. And you can work and everything during the five years, it's just the uncertainty that if your marriage doesn't work out you can't get permanent residency at the end.
On The Cost of Getting a Green Card
@garysixpack No I understand that - the thing I was pointing out is that in the US the process is "get married --> apply for green card" whereas in the UK it's "get married --> apply for 5 year (previously 2 year) visa --> apply for permanent residency IF you're still together after that point".
On The Cost of Getting a Green Card
@Aconite Ah I didn't realise that! My friends actually got married when it was still 2 year spouse visa --> straight to indefinite leave to remain, before they changed it to five years. My boyfriend and I have looked into various possibilities when my work visa expires in 2016 (I'm eligible for permanent residency then, but don't earn enough money anymore to qualify for the route I was on). I think I'll get a family visa then and then FINALLY ILR in 2017 when I'll have been here for 10 freaking years already.
On The Cost of Getting a Green Card
This is really interesting, because I'm only really familiar with people marrying to get residency in the UK, where I live. The way it works here is that you can get a spousal visa valid for five years, and then if you're still married at the end of that time, you can apply for permanent residency. So the first visa is a little bit easier to get (no interviews or medical checks, from what I remember about my friends) and costs £885 ($1493, so exactly the same!). But then you have to apply again for permanent residency five years later which I think costs about the same. I'm not sure if this process is better or worse? I think it costs more over time, but requiring people to still be married after a few years in order to get permanent residency kind of makes sense to make it more difficult to have a sham marriage.
On What Did Your First Job Pay Then and What Does It Pay Now?
This is super interesting. I notice that all of the respondents are women, was this intentional or not?
On The Billfold Book Club: Suze Orman's 'The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke'
@Beans The only person I know is my now exboyfriend's exwife. She left a closet full of clothes when they got divorced, which he still had when he and I got together. So we (well, I, actually) sold it all on eBay and made £200-300 which was fun!
On The Privileged Question of Whether Money Buys Happiness
Sometimes I feel stressed because I'm in a lot of student debt and my income is variable and I often feel like I don't quite have my head above water. But I'm a happy person because I have good friends, am in a great relationship and feel very satisfied and happy about the work I do. Would more money make me more happy? Probably not, it would just keep me from stressing out every once in awhile. But then I guess my definition of "no money" meaning "lots of debt" is different than "not sure if I can afford food today"

Foreign Policy Magazine has just announced their choices for the 100 Leading Global Thinkers of 2014, in ten categories: agitators, decision-makers, challengers, naturals, innovators, advocates, chroniclers, healers, artists, and moguls. Interesting, but I found the story of Pema Tschering, told in film by a friend of his, more inspiring than them all. As a doer more than a thinker, he didn't make the list. Against all odds, this young Bhutanese man lives with cerebral palsy and uses his feet to make beautiful wood carvings and live an independent life. Watch the five-minute film.
Good leaders inspire. Bad leaders, well, apparently they never step down. The Guardian offers to test your knowledge of some of Africa's presidents for life. I scored 7 out of 10; slightly above average. Can you beat me? After this informative quiz, you might find this TED talk interesting: The Leaders Who Ruined Africa and the Generation that Can Fix It.

Getting Out of Trouble
Project trouble can hit from a blind spot, even though you tried as much as possible to prepare for issues. You did a risk analysis when you took the project on, and even tried to be ready to mitigate unknown issues.
As I advised in my previous post, do an assessment to determine the problem. Figure out what needs to be fixed, or if the situation is even fixable. If the project seems to have reached a point of no return, here are some tips on how to pull it out of trouble:
Finally, keep in mind that not all trouble devours all. Before panicking, calmly look to areas that will guide you to a solution. You may even find your project is more sound than it seems.
How do you confront trouble on your project?
Tips for First-Time Global Project Managers
Best Practices,
New to Project Management
Categories: Best Practices, New to Project Management
A project manager's first global project marks a pivotal time in professional development. A project with global scope offers an exciting opportunity to work with people from many different cultures and skill sets.
However, global projects also come with unique challenges. These can include large physical distances between implementation teams, language barriers, country-specific regulations and other considerations that can negatively affect your project.
To get off to a good start, project managers need to manage the differences between global and co-located projects within these essential elements:
1. Requirements: On a co-located project, there is a single set of project requirements. On global projects, it is common to encounter both global (such as quarterly financial reporting) and country (such as provincial tax) requirements. Failure to consider them can cause painful functional gaps upon implementation. Work with your project leadership team to define a prioritization scheme for both types of requirements. For example, prioritize the country requirements by regulatory mandate, business value and desired need. A prioritization scheme helps you achieve overall balance in meeting the project success criteria.
2. Estimation: A global project typically features added complexity and costs not found with a co-located project. This calls for estimation to include additional effort to manage the previously mentioned requirements, as well as cross-geography coordination. The latter can include things such as team member travel time and global communications. In addition, there can be additional costs, such as import duties on equipment, that can add to the overall estimate. To ensure good estimation, identify global and local estimation components to more accurately account for the additional complexity.
3. Scheduling: Scheduling milestones, effort and resources on global projects is one of the greatest challenges for a project manager. The first thing to remember is to include country-specific scheduling considerations, such as regional holidays and vacations. In addition, always leave room in the schedule for project risks that can arise from unstable governments, new regulations and labor disputes. Finally, be prepared for unexpected surprises from nature, such as snowstorms, floods, volcanic eruptions and other disruptions. If such an event happens, meet with your leadership team to discuss whether to reset the project schedule around the unexpected surprise.
While global projects can present some unique problems, they also can be very rewarding when managed properly -- even if a volcano erupts!
What tips do you have for first-time global project managers?
The 'Appropriate' Project Approach
New to Project Management
Categories: Agile, New to Project Management
I recently attended a two-day workshop to help me get certified as a Scrum master. What made this class interesting is that I am a "traditionalist" -- a project manager who leads and manages projects using the waterfall approach. This was going to be a whole new ballgame for me.
While I am not particularly new to the concepts of agile, I was looking forward to learning the extended basic agile concepts, frameworks and skill sets, and learning to apply those skills.
Surprisingly, I understood more of Scrum than I thought I would and realized I was already implementing some agile principles into my waterfall projects. Most importantly, I realized that the debates surrounding waterfall versus Scrum may just be full of hot air.
The focus of those arguments is that one approach is categorically better than the other in all circumstances. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Traditional and agile frameworks are neither better nor worse than the other. But, either could be completely disastrous for a project if applied broadly.
One of the most important ideas I took away was the idea of 'appropriateness.' Scrum is about finding the right level of planning, documentation, velocity of task output, cost and schedule -- and not just per project, but per team. It's not about what is 'best,' but what is appropriate and suitably fits the set of circumstances at hand.
I began to think that if all project managers embraced this idea of using an appropriate approach instead of the perceived 'best' approach, projects could potentially get along much better than they currently are.
I think that what is appropriate for a project could be waterfall, it could be agile or it could be a hybrid. And that would mean project managers would have to be well versed in all kinds of approaches and understand several project management languages.
At the end of the two days, and after an online assessment, I became certified as a Scrum master, but I think I became more than that. I got better at being able to identify what a project needs and what a team needs. Now, I have a few choices as to which approach is appropriate to meet those needs and ensure success.
Do you think there can be a hybrid?
Plan an Effective Project Meeting
New to Project Management,
Project Planning
Categories: New to Project Management, Project Planning
|On a project management forum I frequent, someone asked whether or not it was rude to use digital devices during meetings.
Some responses were flat out rejections of using digital devices. Other responses were accepting of using technology while others are speaking.
Personally, if you are not being disruptive, I don't think it's rude to use your digital devices in a meeting. I think what's more important to note is why people are using their digital devices during the meeting.
As a new project manager, you will probably be hosting many meetings for a project. It's up to you to stay focused even if the participants aren't captivated the entire time.
As project managers in general, we should really take a good look at why we call meetings at all.
You may think you've called everyone together to get their input. But how many people did you invite? What often happens is that a few people talk at once, and several people are left out and unable to contribute.They will inevitably find a more useful way to spend their time.
You may think you've called a meeting at a good time because everyone was available on the calendar at the same time -- finally. But realistically, almost everyone has something going on before and after your meeting. Your meeting isn't the only thing occupying their attention. An empty space on a calendar really isn't an empty space.
As project managers, we need to ask ourselves what kind of meetings we are calling, what's the purpose, who must be invited and why to determine if a meeting is the absolute best way for you to impart or gather a particular type of information. The reason for calling a meeting should not be because it's the easiest way to give information or to get input.
If you do find that you must meet, consider having several smaller meetings in small spaces that engage your core audience. Invite three to five people instead of a huge group. You can even adopt the agile practice of having 15-minute stand-up meetings to encourage groups to focus and get through agenda items quickly.
Sitting in a room waiting to be engaged is bound to lose anyone's attention. If you keep your attendee list short, even if the meeting is long, there is more audience engagement and less individual downtime. Most importantly, there is less opportunity for someone to tune out because they feel no one is paying attention to them.
How do you engage team members during meetings, and do you care if they use digital devices?

How to Handle Your Project Management Mistakes
Career Help,
New to Project Management
Categories: Career Help, New to Project Management
|My mother used to have a Charlie Brown pin that said, "I've never made a mistake in my life. I thought I did once, but I was wrong."
I'm not as oblivious to my mistakes. In fact, I have made quite a few, both personally and professionally. In some cases, my gut told me I was making a mistake, but I went ahead anyway. Other times, I forged ahead confidently, only to be jarred by the sudden reality that I'd done something wrong.
This happened recently at work. I got called into the proverbial "principal, or headmaster's office" and learned something I'd done caused trouble at a sister company. Not intending to make waves, I had started a tsunami.
If you're a new project manager, it shouldn't be a surprise that you may make some mistakes. What do you do when you are called in to discuss your fallibility on the job?
I sat and listened to the grievance presented to me -- staying calm is always the best approach. I absorbed everything my organizational leader shared with me. The first thing I said was, "I'm sorry." I briefly explained my side of the story without fanfare or drama. If you can explain yourself with brevity, do. Rambling probably won't work in your favor.
I made it clear that I understood the other side of the story and guaranteed that I would be extra diligent in the future to avoid such mistakes. I wasn't defensive. I wasn't full of ego. I recognized my part in the issue and accepted the blame, as hard as it was.
My organizational leader was professional, but she also expressed her dissatisfaction and disappointment in my behavior. This was the hardest thing to hear. The importance of being able to receive harsh criticism is not touted enough. The ability to hear -- and accept -- when someone else points out that you failed goes a long way in helping you establish a fruitful project management career.
Afterward, my organizational leader followed up by saying she trusted that I had learned my lesson and would make better decisions going forward. She appreciated hearing my side because she now had full context of the incident.
Before leaving, I asked if there was anything else I could do. In my case, the answer was no, but if there are action items for you, be diligent about accomplishing them in a timely manner. Give feedback to your organizational leader about your progress.
Making a mistake as a professional is embarrassing, but most times, your career will go on. Deal with the mistake professionally and with integrity for a chance to be even better at what you do.

Liberty Solution: Boston PD Could Have Handled This Without Violating RightsSubmitted by TommyPaine on Fri, 04/19/2013 - 22:18
Now that the smoke has cleared, we can take a better look.
The Boston Police Department could have handled this entire thing without violating anyone's rights. Without house-to-house searches. Without federal government. Without military personnel. Without Army helicopters. Without tanks.
The police department could have done this without the big show of a police state.
Two bombs go off at the Boston Marathon. Secure the area. Tend to the wounded. Consider it a murder case, not a "terrorism" case. Check surveillance and appeal to public to help with any information. Identify suspects and make public. Report of car jacking. Respond. Let's assume Suspect #1's death was unavoidable. Let public know Suspect #2 is on the loose. Be on high alert. Walk neighborhoods and ASK questions. When the little old lady calls in to say somebody might be hiding in her boat, surround him and wait him out. Just like the guy in Alabama who had the kid hostage, there is no reason to "get it over with now." Just wait and take him in when he surrenders.
There is no need for a police state. There is no need for the federal government to act like bosses of state or local police forces, and thereby violating the separation of powers.
There is no need to violate the rights of the people.
If you give up your liberty for security, you will end up with neither. Ben Franklin was right.

how much does a crowd like that cost?
The liberties we have lost, is my answer. (Or a 'secure' state prison)
"Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern." ~~C.S. Lewis
Love won! Deliverance from Tyranny is on the way! Col. 2:13-15
Yes, the event could have certainly been handled
Without violating the rights of the accused, or an entire city. It could have easily been handled without explosions, grenades, tanks, 4000 troops, and so much gunfire in the public.
But, then it wouldn't be the show that it is!!! Cheer on the police state! They saved us from the evil doers!!
Nah, those two kids had a formal relationship with the FBI. This whole incident is more about pushing a police state and instilling fear of terror into the American people to allow and justify an increased police presence nationwide. It was the prime time scripted show for the entertainment networks.....nevermind the tragedy in TX which had far more loss of life......the TERROR, TERROR, TERROR zone was top story. Sorry, I just see that word terror far too much, and always in association with our government.
In my view, police has done an awesome job.
1. FBI and police remember another case few months ago when a deranged policeman had broken into winter sky house (when he was on the run) and held two women hostage. Back to Boston: breaking into houses was the only way to make sure residents were not being held at gun point by the terrorist.
2. Our populists do not care about individual rights of the victims or justice. They simply push their agressive agenda against the state at any cost. So in their mindless populism they lose logic. For example, the populists were the ones whining AGAINST cameras in the streets. Many of the populists are Rothbardian-type anarchists. In that case, victims would never get justice if Chechen and muslim folks could get a stronger private security firm to defend their terrorist against those who would chip in to hire another security firm to catch the terrorist... In any case, private arbitrations would argue about what rules to adapt since there would be no government to set universal laws. :)
Define "populist" and "libertarian" ...
... as you see it.
Freedom comes from reason
Popular conjectures based on emotions or weak irrational mind is populism. For example, wanting police to spend days for a siege and wanting not to pay for police at the same time. Wanting no cameras in the street and wanting victims to be able to afford private security firm, detectives, arbitration, prison. Wanting cameras in the street but not wanting to pay taxes. Wanting Libertarian political movement and praying to god to come ASAP and end this world, and so on.
What to do? Learn how reason operates. Discard Alex Jones and Rothbard and read Ayn Rand non-fiction works.
my guess
He'll define it the same way he defines anti-Semite and Anarchist--- which is everyone who disagrees with him.
And of course, what liberty_last post would be complete without telling others to read Ayn Rand? Because, y'know, actually formulating one's own unique arguments are far too much work.
A signature used to be here!
True, let me make a special case
for your little brain. Populism is to blame Obama for inflation and not Bush. Blame Jews for orchestrating Bolshevik revolution and not credit Jews for orchestrating Libertarian movement. Blame Rothschilds (Jews) for having too much money and control and blame Marx, Lassale and Trotski(Jews) for trying to prevent capitalists from having too much money and control.
I sincerely hope
I sincerely hope constitutional civil liberties champions from throughout the political spectrum in the US will unite and go door to door in Watertown collecting evidence of violations of the constitution for the mother of all class action suits.
This whole thing stinks from top to bottom look at what the criminals behind the patriot act have built today in full view. We should all be sickened.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian." ― Henry Ford.
You are living in a Ron Paul
You are living in a Ron Paul country fantasy. You are absolutely correct however we need a strict principled libertarian like Dr. Paul to pull off something like that and reserve this progressing police state. Sorry to say but Rand Paul I don't think could/would even pull it off. We need leadership. Real liberty leadership.
I respectfully disagree (sort of)
I don't see it as a lack of leadership, but a lack of people willing to take responsibility for their actions and/or "play the tape all the way through", and that applies to government and non-government alike.
Many Americans have spent their lives being told to blindly obey authority figures to the point where few people actually *want* to take care of themselves. So, maybe it's a lack of self/personal leadership?

The extensiveness of the
The extensiveness of the police state is the actual thing making us all act crazy. This is psychology 101.
It's all to acclimate us

but first...
Going back a step further, Black Hat was guilty of domestic assault in 2009 before he was a citizen. Having committed a crime, he should have been kicked out of the Country. The federal government's lax and selective enforcement of laws allowed him to stay. Had immigration laws been followed, non of this would have happened.
What if
there were 365 bombing fugitives, one on each day of the year? Would we stay in lock-down or learn to live with the risk?
New Hampshire and Ecuador.
Food for thought.
Food for thought.
Yup, I was just thinking that.
Those house-to-house searches did nothing, searching people's bags did nothing, shutting down the city did nothing, the helicopters and APCs did nothing. What did it in the end was a vigilant citizen and a hostage negotiator.
