text: Retail Meltdown Continues as RadioShack Closes 1,100 Stores Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 4 Mar 2014 post a comment Despite claims that this past Christmas season was good for the nation's retail sector, RadioShack, another longtime national retailer, is revealing financial woes and announcing the closing of over 1,000 stores. Breitbart reported in February that a tsunami of store closings would be hitting the US retail sector in 2014, partly because of disappointing sales but also because of a changing retail environment. Tech retailer RadioShack is to be one of those companies contracting instead of growing. RadioShack has been struggling for several years to make business sense of the new tech age, but this last Christmas season was a final straw. The company reported a loss of $191.4 million for last year's fourth quarter and a $400 million loss for the year. In comparison, the company only lost $139 million in 2012. In an effort to save its brand, the company hired former Walgreen chief Joseph C. Magnacca to turn the company around. "Since I joined the company, it has been clear we need to change the conversation about RadioShack," Magnacca said during a conference call. The first move to recovery is to retrench and close 1,200 outlets across the country, about twenty percent of its stores. RadioShack was hopeful after its 2014 Super Bowl commercial became a favorite of many potential customers. The commercial was a self-deprecating affair featuring such characters from 1980s pop culture as the evil Chucky Doll and alien puppet Alf ransacking a RadioShack store, the theme being "the 80s called, and we want our store back." This move brings RadioShack down to 4,100 stores. This puts the chain below retailers AutoZone, at 4,836 stores, and CVS Caremark, which has 7,660.

I'm relatively new to all this, but I thought it might be fun to do a challenge in the month of February to kick it up just a notch, to challenge ourselves to stick to a few things that we set out for ourselves, be it exercise, sticking to DD calories, making better food choices, whatever your priorities are. I know part of the beauty of JUDDD is how forgiving it is, but I still want to give it my best effort, especially while I'm still excited. :stars: I also am going to have a tough month ahead because I have to move out of my place where I've lived for 7+ years by the end of the month, I have two small kids, and rents have gone through the roof in my area. I'm not looking forward to it, and I know it's going to compromise my workouts and my sleep, staying up late to hunt for places online and then packing everything up. Ugh. I'm determined to come out of this month leaner and happier though, even if I'm going to be paying more rent. :mad:
Here's my February priority list (which I invite you to make also and post progress updates to as often as you'd like in this thread):
1. Stick to strict rotations - [I was toying with trying to have some kind of rotation where every Friday is a DD, because I have to weigh in on Saturdays for a weightlosswars.com competition, but now I figure better to just weigh in after an up day every other week and stick to straight rotations, because a big part of what made this work well for me was knowing that it's always going to be up-down-up-down to keep me on track, satisfied and away from binges. MDs don't work for me.]
2. <400 calorie down days - [This is still a bit hard for me at times and I have to be vigilant not to inhale 100 calories here or there before my meal time, because I usually allocate all my calories to one big meal, often with shirataki noodles these days.]
3. Reserve all treat foods to one up day with a limited eating window (3-4 hours?) on the weekend - [This is about peanut butter, dark chocolate and other calorie dense foods. I can have them, just have them only on that day and within a limited time. Maybe this could also be sushi or hummus takeout on occasion as a treat.]
4. Drink water. - [I've completely not been paying attention to this and often don't drink nearly enough, I think.]
I'll probably start posting my progress on these points starting right away even though it's not February yet, just to get warmed up. ;)
What do you want to focus on for February?
My big goal in February is to hit goal :D I've got 7.5lbs to go and I think I can do it, or at least get really close. Then, the real challenge begins, as I figure out how to maintain and also start exercising :)
I'm joining this challenge. I haven't exercised, besides very limited walking, in more than a year.
1. Go on 2 15 minute walks during my breaks at work every day.
2. Start 30 day shred this week.
3. May add this one later.
4. Adhere strictly to DD calories.
Great idea Lychee!
I'm in. I just started JUDDD last week so I am still flying high with excitement. I figure by the middle of Feb I will have settled into a more typical routine. I want to stay as motivated as possible.
I'd like to drop 10# in Feb. (it's a short month so that may be a bit much to hope for but gotta at least have a goal right)
Excercise 3 times a week (any form will do as long as it is at least 30 minutes)
And as always drink much more water.
I'm in!! I need to set some goals and try to stick with them! I've been JUDDDing again since Jan 12th. Trying to get back into the rotation rhythm and getting used to DD again. I have not been doing it LC.
Goal 1 - Do at least 3 LC UD per week. (My DD are typically semi low carb so will leave that as is. Although I may have to change up what I'm eating if I'm going to meet goal 2.)
Goal 2 - Keep DD to 500 or LESS! (I have been ranging from 500-650 on DD. I lost pretty well the first week but 2nd week not so much, mostly backing and forthing.)
Goal 3 - Start an exercise routine. (I have a biggest loser dvd that I really like. I think I can do the cardio on up days and the strength on down days. I also have walk away the pounds good for DD and an elliptical good for UD. No excuse! At least I have options!)
Thank you all so much for joining. I want to acknowledge all of you. I hope it was clear that I invite you to select what are the goals that *you* want to pursue, not necessarily follow in what I was thinking for myself. Also, we may need to add or subtract as we go along. I have a few ideas myself....
mom23kids - I think that's totally doable, and you never know what you can accomplish unless you try. If it ends up being 6-8 weeks, that would still be awesome. (I don't know how much whoosh you may still have left in you...)
hot-in-texas - So great to try to walk more. Beyond the burn you get from that, it helps change your mindset and give you fresh air and just more energy to get stuff done!
tek - I'd love to drop 10# as well....
natasha - I have the same issue with DDs...
I'm going to have to reformulate mine, so just to recap:
1. strict rotations
2. >400 cal DDs
3. raw food UDs except for some flex on weekend UDs with limited eating window
4. drink water
5. no peanut butter or chocolate - it's just not helping me in any way.
I spent today for the first time looking at places to move to, and it's so stressful. I feel like we won't find a place, my husband will want to move somewhere else, which I don't want, and if we do find a place we like, there will be five more "qualified" tenant applicants ahead of us that don't have kids. (I quit my fancy law firm attorney job for a while to stay with the kids, but that's not helping at the moment.)
Lychee- Hang tough! Try and keep positive. I would think a tenant with kids would be a sign of possibly more stability. You know, someone who would like to put down a few roots and stay awhile. Guess I'm a nut. Anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys.
We will be visiting with relatives the second half of the month, so my goal is to stick to cals for both UD and DD, wait until at least 2 for DD eating and eat in a 2 hour window on DD. The two hour window of 2-4 is how I started out after reading that Dr. Krista A. Varady (the Chicago researcher in Eat, Fast, and Live Longer) recommended a 2 hour window for her subjects. I'd like to be a bit under goal when I leave as I'm sure to come back a bit up from that - not that it matters as a few rotations should get me back on track. And I'm trying to keep in mind that in December, despite all of the treats I allowed myself, I was up .2 pound.
Lychee, good luck with your house hunting and congratulations on your determination to stay on JUDDD plan while you're so unsettled. :heart:
I'm starting February with two weekends away - not ideal!
So my main goal is to stay within my 300 and 1500 cal limits whenever possible, as I know they work like magic for me.
I'd love to reach my final goal of 126lbs, if only as a quick bounce.
However, I've only tomorrow's UD left to reach my November/December/January recurring goal of 130. :lol:
Unless I've had a specially magic DD today, of course! :cool:
I'd also like to join this challenge, please!
My February Goals
Goal #1 Strict rotations ( most important goal) no potato hacks etc..
Goal #2 14 hours of Callanetics and take measurements
Goal #3 One treat day per week ( weekend UD)
Goal #4 Lose 7lbs!!
Although I lost weight this month, I wasn't making very good food choices so in February I'd like to start eating more fruit & veg and less junk.
I'm in. My birthday is the 28th and that always motivates me plus I'm going on a cruise in 42 days.
1. Get off the maintain train and start losing!!!
2. Do Shred on UD's, walk on DD's
3. Keep UD's under control (find the foods that work)
Need these 20 lbs gone!
Lychee, that's a good idea about more walking. Good luck on your home search. Let us know when you find something.
Thanks, I'd like to join, too.
I don't have much control over how much weight I lose, but I do control my behavior, so I'm setting strictly behavioral goals.
1) Keep DDs as low as possible. Yesterday I had an under-200 calorie fluids day, and it finally broke a 3+ weeks stall. :) So I'm going to try to do a month of tea with 1 T. cream/half-and-half and water with lemon down days. I seem to need to shake things up to keep losing, so that's my latest shake.
2) I'd love to declare an aerobic or resistence training exercise goal, but lately exercising seems to prevent weight loss for me. So I'll just keep walking to and from work and do some stretching/balance exercises this month.
3) Do NOT begin my up days at 1 minute past midnight. Go to bed hungry on DDs and don't eat until I'm up for the day on UD.
4) Track calories every day. Stay at or below 1800 calories on up days. Continue to eat low carb/moderate protein.
5) Don't cave and do medium days for social reasons. My friends aren't going to stop being my friends because I chose to have only a diet soda or coffee when they were eating a meal.
I really appreciate the accountability and support of challenges, so thanks for starting this one. And February's a short month, so I hope I can stick with all those goals, all month.
Hi everyone. Challenge starts tomorrow. Are you ready? Yesterday was terrible for me. I struggle with binge eating and I'd been doing better on JUDDD but the whole week was no good and instead of just getting back on to strict rotations I had it in my head that I should have several DDs to catch up or something. This is just not a good idea for me. So, today will be a DD and at 350ish calories with no stray calories. And tomorrow will be an up day. And so on. Strict rotations ate absolutely what make this work for me and if I try to deprive myself for several days, it just falls apart for me.
I would like to join also - struggling with motivation since December, although thanks to JUDDD I am only up c. 2 -3 pounds despite Christmas etc and very few strict DDs!
My goals are:
Use new gym membership 3 times a week
3 <500 cal DDs each week
Keep LC except once a week treat
Well, I think I'm doing well on the first day of February. I had a 100 calorie all fluids DD, and I am definitely going to wait until I get up on Saturday morning to start my UD. I'm meeting friends at the concert rather than for dinner so I can avoid getting out of rotation. And I feel really good. So the challenge is starting out well for me. :D
How are the rest of you doing?
1 strict rotations - check
2 <400 cal DD - check
3 raw food UDs - NA
4 water - pretty good, and lots of unsweetened tea
5 no pb or chocolate - check
I felt crappy today from the refined carbs I ate yesterday. But today I just had water and green tea. And worked out. The whole last week was just off, but I can recover quickly, I know it.
I did get some great news, namely, I don't have to move just yet. My current landlord is extending my lease for another sux months at the same rent. Which is awesome bc market rate for our place is about $800 more than we pay. So every month we can stay put helps us save a lot of money.
Tomorrow is my husband's birthday. I baked a cake (vegan red velvet) but I think even though it's an up day, I don't think I'll have more than a taste to see how it came out. Refined carbs just kill me. I can eat fruit all day and feel great but white flour is just evil for me. I plan on eating a bunch of oranges since I won't be at home wherei could have my usual stuff.
Congratulations on meeting your goals, and on the good news about not having to move yet!
Good for you for listening to your body and mostly avoiding the cake, if you know refined carbs make you feel bad. The longer I go without eating sweeteners, the more I can taste and savor the sweetness of fruits, vegetables, and cream, while things like cake just taste cloyingly sweet to me. I hope you enjoy some lovely, juicy, fragrant, delicious, and refreshing oranges. :yummy:
I was down a pound this morning after my 100 calorie DD yesterday. So far, so good! :D
OMG. Bombed completely today. At least it was my weekend up day I guess? I ate enough for the whole week I think. Ugh.
Tomorrow will be water water water and then let's get back on the clean up days, yes? Whew.
My Feb goals are to:
1) Stick with the rotation and keep DDs under 440
2) Try to run at least 3 days a week (ditching this dang cough would help)
3) Try to make healthier UD choices. Just cuz I *can* eat cake doeant mean I should
Thanks for this!!
Ugh. How's everyone else doing? I fell in a ditch and couldn't get out and was just eating and eating. sigh. Gained back those 15 pounds I'm sure.
I'm going to try starting with the up day instead of the down day. Also I'm attempting a juice fast incorporating JUDDD. reason for this is that my brother in law is trying to juice to help him with his cancer that is not responding to normal chemo meds. He has no other support. I'm very inspired and want to do it with him.
I know I have a lot of cleansing to do also. My baby is one year old almost, but I ate like crap when I was pregnant. Tons of grains and heavy starches. Everything that normally made me feel good and stay lean made me nauseous when I was pregnant.
I have my juice ready to go for tomorrow to have a juicy up day. I really hope I can turn this around. I know it just takes me two weeks to get back to feeling somewhat lean, reasonably presentable, fitting into clothes well enough... And who knows if I could just stay on track for more than two weeks?!? But this back and forth is making me crazy. Whatnots wrong with me?
Aww Lychee sorry for that set back. Jump right back in! Juddd is forgiving!
I have done a couple of LC UD's, and this week am attempting to have lower than 500 cal down days. I did that successfully today with about 410 cal DD. Wasn't too terribly hungry either. No exercise routine yet as DH has been home for a week. I'd rather start fresh on a Monday and when he's not home as the place I can do it is in the LR, or I could do my elliptical which is in the back...Maybe I'll do it tomorrow!
Good luck all!!
I'm a little late... so for the rest of February I would like to:
1) Stick to my up day calorie allowance and not keep going way over. If I do go over then no more than 100 calories max.
2) Stick to my down day calories exactly or have less. I've never really gone that much over on down days, I seem to do better on down days than ups but when I do go over it tends to be by about 50 ish calories. I would like to stick to around 400 or below.
3) Start doing some physical activity. I do 0 exercise and don't even walk because I drive everywhere. I am not planning to become a fitness fanatic so even if it's just walking to places rather than always using the car then to me it's a start.
Whew. I'm back on track. So I'm juice fasting in a JUDDD manner. Which sounds kind of wacky, but it's actually working really well for me. I find I'm hardly thinking about food which was a surprise for me. I'm always thinking about what I can eat next, what I've eaten, how much I can still eat, etc. now the only difficulty is finding the time to juice that's close enough to when I'll be drinking it. Just finished day three and am feeling great. Also juice fasting the down days feel less different from the up days. Even though I do have lots more on up days, for some reason it feels less up-and-down-y. I feel much less puffy already but not back to leanness I just recently got to. I want to just finish this time. Get to goal and be done without bouncing up and down fifteen plus pounds. Maybe reduce the bounce to five pounds.
....oops. Actually finished fourth day just now.
I'm doing great!!!
I'm doing 400 cal down days with no problems what so ever!
I'm getting exercise by walking on my breaks at work for now. I did about an hour of yard work today. No elliptical yet...
I have had a couple of LC UD so far but will try to do better! I do enjoy carbs.

NYC cleans up from 2 twisters after Eastern storms
NEW YORK Damaging storms that spawned tornadoes in New York City, darkened tens of thousands of homes in the Washington, D.C., area and flooded New England streets turned a normal day of rest into a day of cleaning up for many East Coast residents on Sunday.
No serious injuries were reported when a twister hit a beachfront neighborhood Saturday on the edge of New York City and a second, stronger tornado followed moments later about 10 miles away. Residents got advance notice but still the storm took people by surprise.
"I was showing videos of tornadoes to my 4-year-old on my phone, and two minutes later, it hit," said Breezy Point neighborhood resident Peter Maloney. "Just like they always say, it sounded like a train."
The unsettled weather, part of a cold front that crossed over the Eastern Seaboard, toppled trees and power lines and damaged buildings as it passed through. Wind gusts reached 70 mph in some places.
Tornado-like funnel clouds were reported in Fairfax County, Va., and in Prince George's County, Md., but had not been confirmed by Saturday evening, meteorologist Andy Woodcock of the National Weather Service said.
One person suffered minor injuries during a partial stage collapse at the Rosslyn Jazz Festival in Arlington County, Va., and six people were evacuated from a Washington apartment building when a tree fell on it. Fairfax County officials reported three home cave-ins because of downed trees, a water rescue in the Potomac River and dozens of electrical wires down.
By Sunday morning, about 15,000 customers were without electricity in northern Virginia, according to Dominion Virginia Power. Pepco reported outages to more than 5,000 customers in the District of Columbia and Maryland's Prince George's and Montgomery counties. BGE reported about 1,500 outages, most in Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties.
In New York City, videos taken by bystanders showed a funnel sucking up water, then sand, and then small pieces of buildings as the first tornado moved through the Breezy Point section of the Rockaway peninsula in Queens.
At the Breezy Point Surf Club, it ripped the roofs off rows of cabanas, scattered deck chairs and left a heavy metal barbecue and propane tank sitting in the middle of a softball field, at least 100 yards from any home.
"It picked up picnic benches. It picked up Dumpsters," said the club's general manager, Thomas Sullivan.
In the storm's wake, broken flower pots, knocked-down fences and smashed windows littered the community of seaside bungalows. Half an hour later, the weather was beautiful, but Sullivan had to close the club to clean up the damage.
The roof of Bob O'Hara's cabana was torn off, leaving tubes of sunscreen, broken beer bottles and an old TV set exposed to the elements.
"We got a new sunroof," said O'Hara, who has spent summer weekends at the Breezy Point club for his entire 52 years. "The TV was getting thrown out anyway," he added.
The second twister hit to the northwest, in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn but also near the water, about seven minutes later. The National Weather Service said winds were up to 110 miles per hour, and several homes and trees were damaged.

No - I'm not related to Carsten (!) but I'm a huge, huge fan of his work - it makes life for site builders SO much easier!
We had one problem with another module not behaving when I enabled Access Manager, but I contacted Carsten and he solved the problem within 24 hrs, GREAT support.
In the backend of Joomla i can pick any user and assign them to a group level. It can even be a Special group that i created.
This special group can have access to multiple levels
For example i can create a group called "Special Access"
and set this group to match the access of
Registered , Author, Manager.
All at the same time
or any other configuration i choose. Then just assign specific users to this group so why do we need this tool?
Please read this FAQ:
1. so you can set rights on groups instead of levels.
2. so you can reverse rights (selection has NO access)
3. Because in Joomla you can still only assign access to only ONE accesslevel per article/module/menu-item/etc. not multiple. You can create custom accesslevels, sure, but its a nightmare for schools and universities where the users are students and the groups are the courses they take. If there are 20 courses and each student takes on avarage 5 courses you need to make access-levels for EACH COMBINATION of groups. 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 etc. 2-3, 2-4, 2-5 etc. 1-2-3, 1-2-4, 1-2-5 etc. You get the picture, that is 100+ accesslevels, that is totally unworkable. And you would still need double content, which is a nightmare for administrators and users.
In Access-Manager you can set access to as many groups (or levels) as you like. So in the above case you would need only 20 groups.
4. To do ACL stuff that is not in the Joomla core (yet).
5. Access-Manager can set custom actions if the user has no access.
6. Joomla usergroups ALWAYS inherit rights, which can be a pain in the rear, in Access-Manager groups don't inherit, so you are in control.

Why are people all GAGA about the E92?
Seriously, why are people going all gaga over the new E92 M3, photoshoping it, posting the same damn images time and time again?
1) Its VERY OBVIOUS that the body is going to take an E92 coupe body, flare the fenders, and stick on an M6'ish front end, and add the typical M3 styling cues.
2) I was ready to pull the trigger on ordering an E46 M3 6 months ago, but instead got laid off ... the E46 M3 looks MUCH nicer and is certainly more rich-ly appointed. So much so, that i'm looking for a young used E46 M3 rather then a new E92... why? heres why:
a) the side lines are a bit too harsh... I realize that is the current trend, but I lost my lunch when the Toyota Celica did it years ago... harsh lines that are horrible...
b) the hood / kidney grill layout... WTF?? that is supposed to be BMWs trademark, and they mangled the kidneys... on the sedan, the broke it in 2 parts (the top chrome line is split) and the parts don't even line up... the chrome part on the hood is straight, so its now more of a flattened kidney... the coupe changed it a LITTLE by cutting out around the kidneys rather then splitting them... I'm not sure which one is uglier... the sedan "split" is definitely ugly while the coupe cutout is maybe a little bit odd... the E46 roll over style was PERFECT...
the interior of my 2002 $30,000 E46 325i looks better then the $100,000 2007M6... heres why:
a) quality of the leather seems to have gone down
b) quality of the dash leather seems to have gone down
c) removal of the center console bump out now makes the dash look BARE where as the E46 seemed a lot busier... ok, some people want bare... like the people who buy hondas... I'm looking to pay $50k+ for an M3... I want busy, I want buttons and lights... like the E46...
d) center console in the back now makes it impossible to squeeze a 3rd person in the back
e) STACKED GUAGES!!!! YUCK... my E46 325i has 4 guages with 1 stacked... they now went to 2 guages with both stacked, and removal of one guage... they also made the guages retarded looking by aligning all the needles... yeah, my E46 has one stacked guage, but the needles aren't sweeping the same chord as they do in the E92... Yuck, and yuck again... going from 4 guages to 2 stacked ones, again cheapens the interior... remember, this is a $50,000 car, I want bells and whistles, not a toyota like interior...
f) the center console on the E46, the stuff that went in there (CD, airconditioning, nav, etc) actually FIT... in the E92s, its like a rackmount setup where the stuff is too small for the cut out and they use filler plastic around it... RETARDED...
everybody I have EVER shown E92 pics to (from BMWs site, etc), the FIRST thing they all say = "why does the back wheel look tiny compared to the front wheel? don't know what I'm talking about?
I DARE you to tell me the back wheel doesn't look weirdly small in both pics.
And this is all from a guy who thought the E46 style was (and still is) the most beautiful design ever to hit the road of any make, model or brand (save for a few exotics that cost more then my house).
Thats enough venting for now

Why...cause people like different things...why? Cause the world would be boring if they weren't any changes..Why? Cause change means improvement...Why? The same reason people like red and others like blue.
Get your E46 M3 and move out of the road...don't get me wrong, I respect your decision, but coming in here and talk bad about other peoples taste is not showing a lot of respect..but then again is a free world.
No matter what you say..I think the E92 will go much futher than the E46, It's a hole different level that goes beyond the design..Are F1 cars the most beautiful thing out there? This is not a model contest...
Enjoy your E46...as much I will enjoy my E92 M3
Know that's enough venting...

Not really into the whole new style much either. The interior and body just doesn't do it for me.
I just like how it has 400+ HP, but soon enough my ZCP will too and I prefer the look of my car than the E92's

I'm not intending to insult anyone (except maybe chris bangle )...
Totally, the hp gains are great! although on the 335i they accomplished that with a turbo... twin turbos as a "band aid fix" for turbo lag. I'd rather have a normally aspirated engine with equal (or even close) hp vs. a twin turbo any day of the week . Don't get me wrong, some of the technology advances are cool. I *DO* like the concept of a start button as it gives the car a more futuristic look and its a conversation piece.

You must be looking for an argument?
Well, I think ROAD EAGLE summed up a contrary opinion to yours quite well in very general terms. Even though I kind of think your attitude does not deserve a response I am a bit bored waiting for more official news so I guess I will reply, point by point.
This forum in particular is quite good about not reposting old information. Heck I have even been guilty of posting something old once or twice myself. Folks politely correct you and then it moves on. The reason this forum is THE place to go is because it has the most information and the most up to date information. If it does not suit you go elsewhere to rant about the holy E46.
1. What body style do you expect the M3 to have, something that is NOT based on the current 3 series? The M3 has always been this way and always will. It is distinguinshed not only by a major change in looks but also by all the major subsystems in a vehicle that contribute to performance. If you are not aware of the breadth and depth of differences that transform a 3 series into a M3 that is only your own fault.
2. If you think an E46 M3 is more "rich-ly" appointed than an M6, you must be high. Have you sat in one? I am actually a huge E46 fan but come on, who are you kidding?
a. "Harsh lines": Man you have got it completely backwards if you had to compare E90 vs E46 (M or not) harsh would go on E46 and smooth and flowing on E90. Again a matter of personal preference as to which one you prefer but not much of an argument about the basic terms to apply to each.
b. Grill: This is a constant but evolving design feature of BMW. Again, to each their own, but I enjoy how each series and generation gets a small tweak to a very hallmark design feature. The grill is constantly changing, in many ways, but it is always perfectly BMW.
Interior: If you actually want busy with lots of buttons and lights, "bells and whistles" as you say, just because you paid $XXX for a car you have a problem . It was Le Corbusier who said, "It seems justified to affirm: the more cultivated a person becomes, the more decoration disappears."
I guess last but not least if you have not understood the issue of 3D perspective in the world or in pictures of the real world then you'll just have to go on thinking that BWM uses smaller rear wheels than fronts.

I wasn't talking about the technology underneath AT ALL. I know there is more to an M3 then styling. I'm not stupid enough to pay twice the money for a car just because it has M3 sill plates .
I also know the M3 has always been based on the 3 series. I was talking about the overall styling which is not only common to the 3 series, but to the entire "redesigned" line.
You are the one with the problem if you are cool with a toyota interior in a $50,000 car. Bells and whistles is *EXACTLY* what I expect. If you bought a $1,000,000 house, you wouldn't expect it to be head and shoulders above a $500,000 house finish quality wise? You be cool with vinyl floors and white ceramic subway tile in your $1,000,000 house? I'll of course assume its a house and not a Formula One house to cover your next argument...
As for your "3d perspective" argument... check the second smaller picture, guy, "3d perspective" doesn't apply to straight on profile shots. I never said it HAS smaller wheels in the back, I said it LOOKS like it does... and other people have said the same.
Sorry, I thought this was a discussion forum. You'd think you were on the design team or something.

First of all, I respect your decision to go for an E46. I love mine, that's for sure, and even though I put my deposit for the new one down over a year ago; I had doubts when I saw first spy shots.
I was sad when I saw the E90 dash, because I don't like it very much. I wish the layout was still towards the driver, and overall it would not look like a luxurious 5, but rather have that "sporty" feel for an E46. Having said that, I have test driven the E90 330I and the E92 335i, and the longer I was in these cars, the more I changed my mind.
With Navigation System it looks A LOT better than without, but also looks more futuristic than the E46. Details are of higher quality, and I started enjoying the way it is. The dashes went from 4 to 2; so what?! It's a change, which you will get used to, and so many companies went that way with their cars. I am not talking about Toyota, but upper class brands.
My adivce to you is also go to BMW and look at the real car, not pictures and you will see your argument for a smaller looking rear wheel is completely irrelevant. I also disagree that the new E92 looks harsh, I like the front a lot more than the E90 and it certainly looks smooth and very nice. Without a doubt, the E46 M3 is great, but it won't be close to the E92....
Believe what you want, but for me I can imagine the first time I see an E92 M3 in my E46; I just wanna trade.
I find it also sad that you do not seem to enjoy change in design. The lines on the E92 are an improvement, the E46 is starting to look outdated. Look at the way the front bumper is put on...
Of course do what you want, just dont be disappointed when you see the E92 M3 the first time --- I would be

Hehe... as a matter of fact, I sat in a E92 335i coupe YESTERDAY at the dealership along with my dad. Then I took him over to a used E46 M3 (without saying a word) and we sat in that one. I also drove him to the dealership in my E46 325i. He commented on how the old style looked better. Although, he did say he was OK with the side creases and the new hood / grill configuration on both the E92 sedan and coupe. His main comment was that the interior on the new cars looked very plain / bare, while the E46's dash / center console almost make it look like an airplane cockpit. One other comment he had was that he wasnt crazy about the hood / front fascia on the E46 M3 because it was too radical / aggressive for him (hes in his 60s), but said he could see how a younger crowd would like the look.
That being said... I am *NOT* against change... as a matter of fact, I thought EVERY SINGLE GENERATION of BMWs looked superior to their predecessors in so many ways... UP TIL THE CURRENT generation.
That being said #2 I *WILL* totally agree with your statement that the body on the E46 is starting to look a bit dated, but I *LOVE* the front end of the E46 M3. From the spyshots Ive seen, the E92 M3s front end is OK, but it looks more factory vs. the body kit look of the E46.
I dunno, maybe you prefer the factory look better .
Now again, Im not talking about any underlying technology, handling, horsepower, etc. My complaints were strictly styling elements. Ive never been a fan of the harsh side creases.
I dont know what Ill end up getting, because I havent been able to find an E46 M3 thats configed how I want and not totally trashed. So maybe when I see the real E92 M3 Ill change my mind, but looking at the 5, 6 and 7 series, its clear where the E92 M3 is headed at least in my mind.

You do have some good points regarding the shape and the interior. Howerver, we are all going to ignore the reality and try to defend the new e92......
The e92 Sedan looks pretty bad with its funny headlights and rear lights. I recently went to the dealership to purchase a 335i coupe and saw the e46 M3 in the show room and ended up getting the M3..... It just looked expensive while the 335i coupe looked plain.....
Turbo is not the way..... Howerver, the new M3 with a V8 will be nice. Hopefully, they will pump up the shape a little and make it look special.

E46 M3 vs 335i vs E90 M3
95% of the talk comparing E46 M3 to 335i is irrelevant.
Enough will be changed both exterior, interior and engineering ("under the hood") wise that the comparisons are almost totally irrelevant. Sure I like to chat and BS about the 335i as well, as it is the new M base chassis. It took me a long time to get used to the looks of the 335i but on the road and in person I think it is gorgeous. The tail lights at night are spectacular! The M changes will make it even better. I like the interior in the 335i quite well as well. It is still very "BMW" but loaded with lots of comfort and convenience things. Keep in mind that this will all be quite a bit different in the new M as well. Just compare E46 non M to E46 M3 interior (or 5 series M to non M) - quite a lot of changes, not even the same seats. All that being said I don't like the way the 335i drives. I know it is fast but it does not feel fast and the clutch, steering and suspension are nowhere close to E46 M3.
For the naysayers: You do know that if you go BWM and non M, the first M3 you see in person, at a dealer or or on the road (probably in a magazine as well) you will be in full on regret mode.... I'm just warning you...
-If I thought the 335i or new M3 will have a "Toyota" interior I would not be happy about that nor excited about the car. I don't. I like elegance, functionality and most importantly a driving/diver oriented interior. I think BMW has always delivered on this.
-Your "home" comments are not particularly relevant. You did not say the fit, finish and materials are not up to par in the 335. You said specifically you want "bells and whistles". To me (and I think to most) "bells and whistles" has a negative connotation, not a positive one. Sort of like gadgets with not much real purpose, just for the "wow" value. Maybe I am just misunderstanding your language only, not your intent?
-3D perspective: I do see what you mean in the second tiny photo. I only looked at the big one when I replied. I'm sure you have found side photos where this does not appear to be that case?
-Obviosuly I have nothing to do with the design team. Everyone here seems pretty open to discussion IMO. I guess the tone of your post just really sounded like you were looking for an argument and I guess there is a fine line between discussion and argument. As I always say to each their own on taste/aesthetics. Cheers.

Nah, I wasnt looking for an argument, I was looking for a discussion . Sorry if my tone was harsh. Obviously some people like the new look and some don't.
Actually, I *did* say the interior materials & finish were not up to E46 quality IMHO. I ALSO said I want bells & whistles in a $50,000+ car. Do I want my M3to come with an electric can opener and a shoe buffer? Of course not. Do I want it to come with fancy displays that light up like a cockpit at night? Hell ya I do. Do I want it to be lights for the sake of lights? No. Personally, I think the E46 interior lights up with just the right amount of gadgets. I'm not looking for a James Bond car, but I want my $50,000 car to LOOK like it cost $50,000. Like I would want a $1,000,000 house to look like it cost a million and not $500k.
M's have never changed the OVERALL look of the car. They've just added some styling cues. In the E46, chrome rings around the guages, M badging everywhere, M emblazzended seats, etc. But aside from those touches, it still generally LOOKED like a stock 3. It wasn't RADICALLY different.
What are you driving a M3 for, if not for the wow factor? Ok, not all of it, but its definitely part of it.
No actually, ALL pics of it that I've seen look like that. All I've figured out why. Its that sharp side crease that gives it that illusion. I've gone back and revisited E46 M3 side pics, and they also have that illusion, but to a much lesser extent, almost non noticeable because the crease is a lot softer.
Now, I probably haven't said this... but I *DO* like the overall profile of the E92's... I'm just not crazy about the details I mentioned, like the side crease and the grill / hood arangement.
I really only have ONE GRIPE about the E46s (to show you I am not a total E46 ass kisser :rocks... I was never really that big on how the dash looks like its two parts... with the upper front part sort of looking like its sitting on a shelf. The "work around" was to get a black interior so its all one color and blends in.
While an all black interior and a nav in the E92 definitely does take some of the edge off and remove some bareness:
I hope you can see in that pic there is still a lot of "bare area" in the center console. The components have several inches of filler all around them.

Well what you have stated are mostly personal opinions. Others might have their personal opinion why they like the e92 m3. I could think of 2 reasons right on top of my head, it's new, new vehicle generates more excitement. Second is it probably won't have the engine problem e46 m3 suffered from. Which is my main reason I did not go for the e46 m3. Otherwise it's a no brainer i can get an used e46 for mid 30k vs. 50k for an new one.
I do agree with you the interior has gone down hill. I was playing inside of a e92 328i coupe last week and the plastic bits felt just slightly better than plastic used in Nissans or Hondas.

- Monday night all to ourselveskleprock65Dined on 10/20/2014Anthony's has long been a favorite but I moved out of town 15 years ago and haven't been back since. When in town I'm usually at the harbor location. Came inland for this meal and found the place absolutely empty. As a result the drinks, service, and food were all fast, friendly, and fresh! Folks didn't want to sit outside so we ate in the empty dining room. Decor is a little kitschy but "Greer"- our server- was very friendly and fun. Party of five, including two seventy-somethings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrible!!!ORnurseDined on 9/26/2014This place was horrible, our reservation was for priority seating which was at 20 minutes!! Then they wanted to know if I wanted a booth in the back if I didn't want to wait. I had never been there, how was I to know what sest was horrible or not. The waitress kept saying they had been slammed like it was an excuse and what I ordered was not what was set in front of me! What's the point of a restaurant week menu if your not going to serve what is on it. By the way, "we ran out" should have been mentioned BEFORE so I could have made a different choice!!!Special Features:
- A Hidden Gem in La Mesa!mikeinsancarlosDined on 9/26/2014I read other reviews about Anthony's Seafood Grotto, La Mesa having a lake view but I wondered (knowing the location) how could this place have a view of Lake Murray? Well it doesn't... It has it's own lake! Complete with waterfall and ducks. Amazing out-door dining. This place can't be more dog-friendly either. There's an entire dog area where patrons can dine with their pooches. There's a dog-relief area and what looked to be a dog run/area. The restaurant itself has a very funky-ambient vibe... definitely a grotto that you enter through a giant shell. The backside of the mid-century-modern building overlooks the lake, in fact it appears to sit over the lake. Food was good (lunch), but I'd like to try the happy-hour fare.Special Features:

Because I was planning an "under the sea" theme party for my big sister, this place was the perfect dining spot for the evening. When I entered the place, from the floor to the ceiling, the place looked like an underwater cave filled with such a romantic ambiance: Dimmed lights, quiet dining, large windows with a beautiful pool of scenery, romantic music, amazing service and to top it all off, THE FOOD..OOOH MY THE FOOD.❤ Words can't describe how delicious the food was that day. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.. To anyone thinking of trying this place out, GO. You won't regret it *Just have enough money to eat comfortably (like 50 to 100 per person). (fine dining restaurants=$$$)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant SupriseDineoutDined on 8/22/2014We stayed in the hotel next door and were not expecting anything much. We were very impressed with ambiance and the food was very good. I especially liked it that they had some choices for lighter appetites. The service was excellent and we were very satisfied with dining experience our last night in San Diego.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a reliable choice.YumYumDined on 8/22/2014Sometimes the service could be better but the food is always fabulous. Nice to have a scenic view of the man made pond while eating in the middle of a residential/commercial area. Would recommend reservations especially around the time of Lent as the place gets really busy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Fish RestaurantLynneDined on 8/10/2014Anthony's has been a favorite of ours for over 50 years. The food is always good. We love their chowders are both excellent. We had New England, but would have been happy with their Manhattan and would have had it we thought about calories. We both had the shore combo, also a favorite. It has three kinds of fish and two sides. The fish was salmon, halibut and sole. All great choices. We sat in the patio and it was very nice out. It has recently been refurbished. If you are a dog lover you can bring your dog and sit out by the lake. It is a very nice setting. Our only complaint is the prices keep going up but I guess they are doing that everywhere. Service is great also and seems to be that way every time we visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Anniversaryjavadogs50dinersDined on 8/10/2014I chose Anthony's for our anniversary dinner. Making the reservation online was easy enough to do. When we arrived the hostess found us a table by the window which was perfect. After a delicious meal and complimentary dessert served by our #1 waitress we felt as if our anniversary was complete.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outdoor Dining at its FinestMartyDined on 8/7/2014We love dining in the outdoor area next to the fountain. It is a lush and beautiful garden area with plenty of shade and a wonderful spot to bring your faithful companion.

- Dining with the ProsGreatExpectationsDined on 7/29/2014I took some friends for lunch and it's immediately apparent that this restaurant is run by professionals. The service was efficient and polite. The food was fresh and flavorful. The only negative comment I have is that the décor in this place is not good. It feels old and outdated. Fake rock and artificial ocean props are just tacky. It's time for a make-over.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We highly recommend Anthonys to all dog lovers especially, and everyone in general.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wasn't worth the price2priceynothappyDined on 7/14/2014It was ok. You expect more when you walk into such a pretty restaurant. Food tasted exactly like red lobster to me. Had the salmon pasta and there was too much sauce. My father got the seafood trio and it was expensive so we figured he'd get a lot of food with it. Nope. Had to stop somewhere after because he was still hungry and didn't want to spend another $35. Just another chain I wouldn't recommend.Special Features:
- A nice afternoon/evening outRoknRbnDined on 7/11/2014My sister and I chose to "grab a bite" @ Anthony's before heading downtown to a concert. I've dined there since the early 70's and always enjoyed the food selections and incredible ambience and view. Highly recommend the spinach & artichoke dip w/shrimp served with baked pita chips as a starter. The wedge salad was delicious. The scallops, in my opinion, could have a bit more flavor but were still good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Over pricedMarvVIPDined on 7/3/2014I think the food is way over-priced. My salmon was good but way too expensive. I eat out a lot for seafood and Anthony's charges too much . My husband had the fish n chips and got 4 pieces of fish for $16.95. Too expensive! Brigantine is better and more reasonable .Special Features:

The service was nice, the food was absolutely delicious and the ambiance was positively lovely! My only criticism was my husband ordered the Scallop plate and for the price, he should have had 5 scallops instead of 4.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- ChangedAnthonyDined on 3/10/2014The food has changed a lot. Sourdough rolls are no longer made on site like they used to be. I had grilled herbed garlic shrimp, which was totally tasteless. Even the cocktail sauce tasted water downed. I substituted a baked potato for white rice and it was very dry; perhaps yesterday's potato that was warmed up. My husband and I use to love this restaurant and go there frequently since it is in our neighborhood, but we will find another one to go to now. His meal was just "OK", he said. We had been going there for over 20 years! Disappointed???? Very much so!!!!Special Features:

HD partitioning
I just started on a new laptop with pre-installed W 7 Home Premium 64bit and need some help with partitioning.
I usually like to have a separate partition for my system files and another for my data files. When I look at the 500 GB HD on this new laptop I see what looks like 3 partitions in "Disk Management":
1) c: Simple, Basic, (Boot, Page file, Crash Dump, Primary Partition) 452 GB
2) Recovery D: Simple Basic (Primary Partition) 12.72 GB
3) System (no drive letter) (System, Active, Primary Partition) 199 MB
I am guessing that what is labelled as system (3) is not really a partition.
A) How do I partition the existing C: into 2 partitions, one for the system and program files and one for Data? Can it be safely done using the tools in disk management or should I use some other tool?
B) does simply copying the Recovery partition to a DVD provide a rescue recovery disk or is there a better way. This laptop did not come with a recovery disk.
Thank you for any help.

The first thing to do there is what you said last being the creation of a set of recovery disks before making any drive changes. If something goes bad at least you can restore things back to factory! The manufacturer's support site should have a page with instructions for this there.
1) For "shrinking" the present C primary down first in order to create a new partition in the vacant drive space created you would need a good 3rd party drive tool. The resize option in the Disk Management is generally troublesome when the OS is loaded on the partition you are trying to resize.
For 2) refer to the first part of reply!
A good drive tool for seeing C primaries shrunk in size without ending up with problems is GParted live for cd. Since you are booted live from either a cd or a usb flash drive with the live image written to it you can simply shrink the primary down so far according to how much is already on the drive.
Even if you decide to use another partitioning program the instructions for GParted explain how resizing partitions works. GPARTED DOCUMENTATION - RESIZING
General documentation starts off at GPARTED DOCUMENTATION - GENERALITIES
If you are brand new at repartitioning drives the first item of concern as well as the recovery disk set would be backing up any important files you want to keep externally or burn a few data dvds to avoid any loss.
|My System Specs

I still don't see the point of making a separate partition for your data files......
If you ever have to reinstall Windows, you can just make a new installation ontop of the old one. Setup will just move your old data files to the Windows.old folder.
|My System Specs
|15 Jan 2010
You are absolutely correct of course. I am using the Recovery Disc Creation right now to create the necessary DVDs and will then go look for GParted live for cd. Thank you.
I still prefer to have a separate data partition for my routine backups. Old habits.
Also, I hopefully I will never need to use the recovery disks because I hope to find a good tool for image backups of the modified system partition to my USB external HD.
Any suggestions for this? I used Acronis 6 in my XP systems but apparently that will not work in Windows 7 unless I upgrade. Other options?

7 already has two different tools to work with included. For backing up the entire drive to an external HD you would create a system image. Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup[2]=Backup
For simply restoring files and settings following a clean install of 7 to replace a previous one you would use the Windows Easy Transfar with files already backed up on the new partition. Windows Easy Transfer - Transfer To & From Computers[2]=Backup
Your laptop's user manual should point to the full recovery option seen at post for restoring everything bringing it back to factory without the separate disks usually a key combination. That automatically reformats the factory C primary during the restoration process. When lacking an external a second storage/backup partition is usually something to consider especially with a larger capacity drive.
For the latest available(well not quite latest withdrawn for some corrections) release of GParted live for cd you would download the iso image from Browse GParted Files on SourceForge.net
Now the small 94-100mb partition seen at the front of the drive is the boot sector the preinstalled 7 sees there. The D partition is all of the Windows files PLUS! note the word "plus" everything else that gets packed on along with 7 namely the manufacturer's prepackaged softwares.
One thing that would be usefull here however is a look at what you see in the Disk Management tool as far as present partitioning. If you can grab a snip of that with the Start>Accessoires>snipping tool and post it here that would be a help.
With only some 13gb tied up with D you can elect to dump that entirely once the recovery disks are made up or simply leave that present since a 500gb HD has plenty of room to work with.

Thank you again for all your help. I really appreciate it.
I attached the disc partitions image.
I'm perfectly happy leavfing the Recovery partition D: in place and of course the boot sector. So it is only C: that I would like to divide.
Nice tool snippit. Did not know about it.

I've used Acronis for years in XP. Restored the XP system image a number of times. But the version I have is ver 6 which I think will not work in W 7 - unless I am wrong? Am I?
Is the latest Acronis known to be dependable in W 7?
Are there free alternatives that are almost as good?

Alone in downtown DC: On a budget and with geographic requirements.
- mels Mar 18, 2011 10:24 AM
I'll be going to DC for work purposes and staying downtown (specifically the Capital Hilton, 16th and K). I am looking for chow guidance in the general vicinity. I am on a the government meal per diem so nothing expensive...I am given $18 for lunch and $38 for dinner, including tax, drink, etc., so that must be kept in mind. If a restaurant will knock my socks off, I am willing to pay beyond $40 and take money out of my own pocket.
I want to be armed with a list of good options so I don't get stuck eating hotel food since I am there for a few days. I am an adventurous eater (try anything once type person) and can appreciate most foods, from the most obscure ethnic cuisine to the simple burger. I do have a weakness for Greek and Middle Eastern cuisines but I am open to anything.
Lunch requirements: MUST be close to the hotel (within 10 minute-ish walking distance). Take-out or eat-in meals are both OK.
Dinner: It's not a requirement, but I prefer to have a couple dinner places in mind that have a take-out option available in case I get slammed with work and am stuck in my hotel room. Again I am open to anything but would like to keep it under $40. I will be flying solo, so anywhere where it might be odd to dine alone will not be a good fit.
Any ideas?
Sichuan Pavillion is a good option for lunch - I had a great ma po tofu noodle soup there a couple of weeks ago. I also like Loeb's deli and Juice Joint for lunch sandwiches. Potenza - both the restaurant and the bakery - are good options for you too - plenty of people eat lunch at the bar, and the bakery does sandwiches - you can call in orders ahead of time. Another really great option right in your budget is the P.J. Clarke's that just opened up.
As far as Greek, Kellari Taverna is right over there, but really you should take one night to come over to Penn Quarter and eat at Zaytinya. Again, it's easy to eat at the bar there solo. Equinox is by your hotel, has been getting a lot of buzz lately, and would be a good pick for dinner.
And everywhere in DC has always been happy to put together a take out order for me. Sichuan Pavillion delivers.
The Greek Deli on 19th between L and M would probably be just about a 10 minute walk. If you like Greek food it's probably worth a visit. Maoz is a felafel place on M also about a 10 minute walk (it's usually too crowded for me to wait around-- take that for what it's worth). Neither has a lot of seating.
You might also keep an eye out for food trucks (like El Floridano)-- especially on Fridays they like to congregate nearby at Farragut Sq. Park.(or you can find them at sites like foodtruckfiesta.com).

Across the street from Equinox (locally sourced, American) is Bombay Club (great but the sister restaurant, Rasika, in Penn Q is better) and Teaism (great quick lunch spot) is down the block.
I've heard good reviews of BLT Steak.

Milaysia Kopitiam would fit the bill for dinner. I like their Singapore noodles. You can easily have dinner there for under $40.
Some great suggestions above.
I would add that Brasserie Beck is at 11th and K, some of the plates and beers are a little more pricey, but very generous portions. If you want a cheap, quick dinner Zorba's in Dupont also has Greek food. I am not a huge fan of Siroc, but other people really like it. I haven't been to P.J. Clarke's but I imagine they would do take out.
Equinox is a little pricey, I dunno if it would fit the budget. But it is very good.
For lunch you are also not too far from Breadline for sandwiches. Not the absolute best dinner, but not too bad, but McCormick and Schmidt is right there and would do take out I am sure. Mio has a more fancy Price fix lunch that is $20, and $35 dinner, they also have Puerto Rican weekends if you are here for the weekend, and happy hour.

re: ktmoomau
How did I forget Brasserie Beck? Love the place - great moules and frites - easily done for under $40, unless you are a big beer drinker. (Belgian beers are excellent there, but pricey).
The automatic link to Zorba's in ktmoommau's post above is incorrect. As noted, it's near Dupont Circle, not Baltimore.
I was going to suggest Breadline; I think it's the best lunch place downtown. I especially love the pulled pork on ciabatta special (Fri. only). However, I'd say you would have to be a fast walker to make it in 10 minutes. It's at 18th and Penn.

I would second Loeb's Deli, unless you are from New York City. For Lunch, try the Well-Dressed Burrito - really nice take-out (although there are a couple of tables) - That's off of 19th street above M - And CF Folks across the street. At that point, you are close to Dupont Circle - Search that on this board and you will come up with many options...But the last 2 things I mentioned (right up from the Greek Deli that someone else talked about) are about 10 mins away from you.
You are also a short cab-ride from the U-street corridor and Chinatown/Penn quarter.

The Bombay Club is exceptional, and literally three blocks from your hotel. Good for lunch or dinner, although is is upscale, so if you go over there, you'll be sitting with suits. Call ahead and you can pick it up to-go as well.
