The BMW 335is has been available for a while now, but it's never too late (and always fun) to see another review. Motorweek reviews the 335is. Video inside.
Car and Driver gives its quick test review of the 2011 335i with its new N55 motor. They call it the same as before, only now even better. Check out their full review.
Although this is not the most technical of 335is test drive reviews, it still contains some good info for those interested in the 335is. Here are some notable comments.
Add another to the E90/E92 BMW 3-series already crowded award mantel. Automobile Magazine has named the 3-series to its 2011 All-Stars list, for the 21st time. Perhaps the best summary from Automobile – "As the car enters the sixth year in its current form, it still has no equal."
"Fantastic chassis balance, beautiful steering, lovely shift action," gushes senior editor Joe Lorio. "Add in the phenomenal performance — and surprisingly good fuel economy — and you've got the segment's standard-bearer. Again."
Edmunds Insideline has track performance tested the 2011 335is, achieving some great performance numbers, nipping at the heels of the E90 M3. Here is their performance test video and test results:
Test Results:
0-30 (sec): 2.0
0-45 (sec): 3.5
0-60 (sec): 5.0
0-75 (sec): 7.3
1/4-Mile (sec @ mph): 13.3 @ 104.6
0-60 with 1-ft Rollout (sec): 4.7
30-0 (ft): 27
60-0 (ft): 111
Slalom (mph): 67.2 (66.0 stability control on)
Skid Pad Lateral acceleration (g): 0.91g ( 0.85g stability control on )
The M3 Competition takes down the Alpina B3 bi-turbo, C63 AMG Performance Pack, CTS-V, and IS-F in this latest performance sedan showdown. Full results inside.
Car and Driver has posted their quick drive impressions for both the 2011 335i sedan and coupe, with some attention paid to how the new N55 engines compare to its predecessor N54 motor. See their quick impressions inside.
C&D drives the 2011 335i with N55 motor, focusing specifically on comparing the N55 to the N54 engine (of the earlier 335i model years). 0-60 times were equal, N55 was 1/10 sec. slower in quarter mile and N55 was 1 sec. faster to 140mph.
Winding Road Magazine undertakes the latest review of the 3-series ranging topping 335is and asks whether it might be the best all-around 3 there is (M3 included).
CNET is now also reviewing autos and their latest review is the 2011 335is. This review covers the gamut from the car technology to performance to style. The reviewer is most impressed with the car's no frills performance philosophy – as a knife which gets the job done. As he puts it, BMW has succeeded in "elegant directness" with the 335is.
Autoblog recently revisited the 2010 335i E90 sedan. So it's not the latest 335i, but the reviewer feels the 2010 335i really deserves wave after wave of gushing prose in reviews and no doubt remains the benchmark of mid-sized sedans. And this isn't just the BMW-koolaid talking.
Car and Driver reviews the Dinan S3 335i and is impressed with the power, chassis, and handling upgrades, all the while maintaining a very civil ride quality. Read on…
Car and Driver has just test driven the 2011 335i with the all new N55 engine and comes back with a favorable impression. In fact, the title of the article states that one of their favorite cars just got a little bit better.
Extolling the virtues of station wagons is something we at C/D love to do; after all, they combine sedan-like driving dynamics and fuel efficiency with increased utility. But we have to face the reality that the wagon is as endangered in the United States as its ever been, and our raves likely serve as eulogies more than anything else.
Dynamically, … CONTINUED
Heres a nice initial overview of the 2011 335is experience from our friends at BIMMERFILE
For all 335is info and media, see our OFFICIAL 335is INFO THREAD.
Heres a thought; the 335is is more of a replacement for et E46 M3 than the current M3. Its got similar power (320 hp) with decidedly more torque (332 … CONTINUED
We recently published a great review from E90post member Kamando of his 335d M-sport as a highway cruiser. There was however a more important question he had yet to answer: Can the 335d possibly be any fun to drive on the Nürburgring? His answer is a resounding "Hell Yes!" Review inside.
M is for monster, more specifically, in this case, the Diesel fed Torque kind that dwells in the Bavarian countryside. So says E90post member Kamando who embarked on 1,300 mile journey in his new 335d from the Bavarian farmlands to the beaches of Normandy and back. Two things became readily apparent throughout this trip. The 335d was built for the open road, and torque is your friend. Check out his great review inside.
Edmunds Inside Line test drives the facelifted 2011 3-series coupe and convertible. Check out their thoughts on the styling and technical changes to the 3-series' newest model year.

Boston bomb suspect hospitalized under heavy guard
An uncle of the Tsarnaev brothers said he had a falling-out with Tamerlan over the man's increased commitment to Islam.
Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., said Tamerlan told him in a 2009 phone conversation that he had chosen "God's business" over work or school. Tsarni said he then contacted a family friend who told him Tsarnaev had been influenced by a recent convert to Islam.
Tsarni said his relationship with his nephew basically ended after that call.
As for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, "he's been absolutely wasted by his older brother. I mean, he used him. He used him for whatever he's done," Tsarni said.
Albrecht Ammon, a downstairs-apartment neighbor of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in Cambridge, said in an interview that the older brother had strong political views about the United States. Ammon quoted Tsarnaev as saying that the U.S. uses the Bible as "an excuse for invading other countries."
Tamerlan Tsarnaev studied accounting as a part-time student at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston for three semesters from 2006 to 2008, the school said. He was married with a young daughter. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
As of Saturday, more than 50 victims of the bombing remained hospitalized, three in critical condition.
Associated Press writers Denise Lavoie and Steve Peoples in Boston; Mike Hill in Watertown, Mass.; Colleen Long in New York; Pete Yost in Washington; Eric Tucker in Montgomery Village, Md.; and AP Sports Writer Jimmy Golen in Boston contributed to this report.

It was what you might expect from a typical scrimmage with two teams with a strong football tradition.
There were both good and bad — and in the end, Piqua emerged with a 3-2 victory at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field.
"I will use all the cliches you use after a scrimmage," Piqua football coach Bill Nees said. "We saw some things we need to work on and some things we did well. We will take a look at the films. Tecumseh is a good football team."
Which they showed on the first play from scrimmage when the quarterback took an option play 80 yards for a score.
They would also hit on passes of 35 and 27 yards on the same 10-play series, adding a second TD on the 27-yarder.
But, Piqua settled down on defense after that.
They had consecutive sacks on Tecumseh's first down-and-distance series and kept the Arrows out of the end zone after that.
"They (Tecumseh) have a new offense this year," Nees said. "That was the first live action we have seen and that is a very good offense. I thought we adjusted to it after that."
On offense, Piqua showed the explosiveness you would expect — with weapons at every skill position on offense.
In Piqua's first 10-play series, a 60-yard pass from Rupert Delacruz to Tate Honeycutt was called back by penalty.
Delacruz would then have a 46-yard run, with 11 yards tacked on for a half-the-distance penalty on a horse collar tackle — with Darien Tipps-Clemons taking it into the end zone on the next play from the 11.
Neither team scored on the second 10-play series, but the Indians would score twice in the down-and-distance portion of the scrimmage.
The first score brought back flashes of last year.
On second-and-10 from the Piqua 20, Trent Yeomans brought back flashes of last year's 2,000-yard season.
He found a crease on the left side and outran the Tecumseh defense for an 80-yard score.
On the final scoring drive, Delacruz started things with a 25-yard run and converted a third-and-15 on a 21-yard screen pass to Elijah Hudson.
Tipps-Clemons had a 23-yard run down to the 16 and on third-and-five from the 11, Yeomans found the end zone.
"The biggest thing we need from our guys on offense is to make plays," Nees said.
Yeomans finished with 99 yards on eight carries, while Delacruz added 82 yards on six carries.
Tipps-Clemons had 65 yards on seven carries and had an interception on defense.
While Delacruz completed just three of 11 passes for 31 yards, the Indians were close on a number of those plays.
"That's why we go to passing scrimmages and use all three scrimmages," Nees said. "We want to go against live competition as much as possible."
Piqua finished with 280 yards on 34 plays, while Tecumseh had 265 yards on 36 plays.
The Indians came away from the scrimmage with no serious injuries.
Piqua will host Xenia in a scrimmage Friday.
The freshman will scrimmage at 5 p.m., with the varsity at 7 p.m.
They will play three quarters, with a 10-minute halftime.

But I'm here too remind you that it's also important to remember those bastards and jerks who've lied, cheated, swindled, insulted, extorted, threatened and otherwise tried to crap all over you in 2012. And America's coal industry will be there to help you express your true feelings…
…for the CEO who cancels employee bonuses except for the senior executive staff.
…for the political candidate who calls you a moocher, a cheater, a lazy bum or a slut....for the health insurance provider who makes your life a living hell of paperwork, denials, and endless hoops.One of these guys deserves coal
in his stocking. (Hint: white shirt.)
…for the governors and legislatures who accept bribes from billionaires in exchange for dismantling unions, stealing elections and jeopardizing women's health.
...for the neighbor who backed over your posies and then denied it, even though the tire marks in your garden matched his Hummer's.
...for your sister-in-law who still sends you birther emails and sees communist infiltrators behind every tree.
…for those who say we must gut safety regulations in order to make an industry safer.
...for the coal company CEO who threatened his employees with termination if they failed to attend a Mitt Romney campaign photo-op stunt.
For everyone on your list who made your life miserable this year, there's only one holiday gift you can rely on to adequately say, "Suck on this, ya big jerk!" So call now and order a heapin' helpin' of 100 PERCENT PURE COAL.
One glance at that lump of bituminous blackness in their stocking and they'll get your message loud and clear.
Available in lignite, flame coal, gas coal, anthracite, coke and---for those really nasty peckerheads---coal ash slurry! Order today and get FREE shipping!
Coal: when you're pissed-off enough to send the very worst.
This message brought to you by the Holiday Coal Consortium, conveniently located next to that mountain over there with the top blown off. Wishing you and yours a holiday filled with glad tidings of mercury and joy!

CHEERS and JEERS to dashing through the airspace corridors in a 15-dollars-per-bag sardine can. Mixed news: holiday traffic is expected to be up on the highways this year, but down in the skies. But it's still gonna be pretty crazy:
not allowed in unicorn-only lanes.
This Christmas travel season could be the busiest in six years, with AAA predicting that 93.3 million Americans will hit the road. That's 1.6 percent more than last year and just 400,000 people shy of the 2006 record. More cars will crowd the highways than ever before, largely because finding a seat on a plane at a desirable price has gotten more difficult. ... Airlines for America, the industry's trade group, estimates that about 15 million people will fly between Dec. 17 and Jan. 6. The group says there will be 42 million segments---a takeoff and landing---flown by passengers. That's about 300,000, or 1Remember, kids: to keep Mom and Dad engaged and alert during your trip, be sure to use the magic phrase: "Are we there yet?" over and over and over. They'll be so thrilled.
percent, fewer segments than last year.
CHEERS to the comeback kid. NBC News foreign correspondent Richard Engel disappeared off the face of the earth last week while he was in Syria. Nobody could be faulted for fearing the worst, given the kind of thuggery---not to mention flying bullets and shrapnel---that exists in the middle of that "civil war." (Now there's an oxymoron.) So it'll come as a relief to those who don't know yet: he's back:
Engel and Ewan McGregor in the
same room together. Hmm...
Hours after crossing the border into Turkey, NBC News' Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel and his crew told the story of their harrowing five-day kidnapping ordeal … Engel said that he had a "very good idea" of who his captors were: members of the "shabiha" government militia, Shiites loyal to President Bashar Assad, trained by the Iran's Revolutionary Guard and allied with Lebanon-based group Hezbollah.Thank God you're safe! We were worried sick about you! We love you! You're the best! Now come back home! So we can kick your ass for putting us through that! And then chain you to the furnace! You are so grounded!
"We were told they wanted to exchange us for four Iranian agents and two Lebanese people...," said an unshaven Engel, still wearing the clothes from the day he was seized. "They captured us in order to carry out this exchange."
CHEERS to home sweet teeth-chattering home. On this date in 1777, George Washington parked his 11,000 troops at Valley Forge for the winter. The General knew how to rally his men:
"All we need to do, guys, is invent space heaters and create a regional power grid and it'll be just like Club Med! Plus I know a great caterer and he'll be along just as soon as we invent the telephone. Okay, everybody with me now: Whoop Whoop Gangnam Style!"Needless to say, it was a very long winter.
Gong! Gong!! BuddaBuddaBudda… GONG!!!
This is another edition of The One Word Answer Man. McJoan asks: Why is Obama trying to bail out the GOP?
Now back to C & J.
Gong! Gong!! BuddaBuddaBudda… GONG!!!
CHEERS to raising the roof on roofs. Two things in life are certain: 1) whoever controls the spice controls the universe and 2) whenever the nation's housing situation recovers the nation's economy will recover. We can't do much about the former until the Koch brothers stop funding House Harkonnen. But there's good news on the latter:
U.S. homebuilder sentiment rose for a seventh consecutive month in November and hit its highest level in over six years… "Builders are reporting increasing demand for new homes as inventories of foreclosed and distressed properties begin to shrink in markets across the country," said NAHB Chairman Barry Rutenberg in a statement. "In view of the tightening supply and other improving conditions, many potential buyers who were on the fence are now motivated to move forward with a purchase in order to take advantage of today's favorable prices and interest rates," he said.This is a big reason why it was so important that Obama win the election: so he, not Romney, would be on duty when the economy clawed its way back to health. Great for his legacy, and great for whichever Democrat runs to be his successor. Or, as Republicans call it: terrible for their legacy, and terrible for whichever Republican runs to be his successor.
CHEERS to ice-cold rinks. 95 years ago today, in 1917, the first NHL games were played (all five teams were Canadian). Since the season is on hold because of the butthead managemment, let's spend some quality time with this little factoid about the fabled Stanley Cup:
the Ottawa Hamburglars
[Y]ou get your name on it. Every player to have won the cup in the history of the NHL, plus many from years prior to the NHL's existence, has their name engraved on the piece of hardware they won. […]You can see the Stanley Cup at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. They keep it right next to the jar of teeth.
One of the great traditions of the NHL is that everyone who has his name on the cup gets to take the cup home with him for a day. What happens from there is where the stories come from. It has found many uses while in the care of the NHL's players, coaches and managers. The cup has been used as everything from a flower pot to a baptismal. It has been a cooler, a champagne bowl, a urinal and a lawn ornament.
Four years ago in C&J: December 19, 2008
underwent cosmetic surgery.
Al Franken took his first official lead in the Minnesota Senate recount this morning...Thus officially knocking the 43 words, "Oh oh god oh god baby baby don't stop oh god more more oh god pour on that chocolate sauce oh god oh oh oh oh oh oh god more whipped cream now mmm those salty nuts yes yes yes yes yes yes!" out of first place. Well, until we make sundaes again at our house, that is.
It now appears that unless Coleman can win a major lawsuit to disqualify a high number of Franken ballots, Al Franken will be the next U.S. senator from Minnesota.
And just one more…
JEERS to the worst store in the world. I'm so relieved to see that the events in Newtown haven't affected the ability of the NRA to engage in holiday-time commerce via their little shop of horrors. I mean, it's got something for everyone (and this is just a teeny tiny sample):
apparently comes filled with whiskey!
For kids:Heck, they even have a lovely selection of NRA shotglasses. Because nothing says gun safety like a container designed for knocking back swigs of 80-proof liquor. So please accept this wish for a Merry Christmas from your friends at the NRA. They'd say it themselves, but apparently they've come down with a bad case of laryngitis.
A Camo Marshmallow Shooter
An NRA Infant bib
An NRA Kids Crayon T-shirt
Stocking stuffers:
A 50-calibre bottle opener
A stoneware mug with the "Don't Tread on Me" logo on it
An NRA .308 caliber cartridge pen
A women's Flashbang brassiere holster
NRA ladies boxer shorts
Today is Wednesday. Tomorrow is Thursday. Forward. Floor's open...What are you cheering and jeering about today?

93 Ram stalling Need Help
I just bought a 93 ram with the 318 engine. The truck starts great but when I put it in gear and start driving about 100yards away from my house the truck dies everytime. I then can not get it started again very easily. It usually takes me pumping the gas pedal for 15 mins while trying to start it. Then it will finally start and usually drives with no problems for the rst of the day and then I start the process over in the am. During my day of driving I can turn it on and off 100 times an drive it wherever but then the next am it will start right up and I make it to the end of the block and it dies and then is very hard to get started.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Myths and Facts About Charitable Giving
Few people argue against the need for charitable donations. Yet when it comes to time to donate, it can be difficult to sort through the myths so you can be smart with your charitable contributions. Here is a look at six common myths surrounding charitable giving.
1. My charitable donations are always tax deductible.
Charitable contributions are often tax deductible, but not always. Before you donate money to a particular charity, you should find out if it is registered with the IRS for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. You can contact charitable organizations directly or check their status with the IRS either by calling or searching "IRS Publication 78" online.
Many people do not realize that if you receive any goods or services for your charitable contributions, only a portion of your gift will be tax deductible. This often applies if you buy tickets to a charitable event or receive an item like a t-shirt or coffee mug as thanks for your gift. To avoid problems at tax time, be sure to ask how much you can deduct for each of your charitable donations.
2. My charitable gifts are used only for program services (medical research, supplies, etc.).
When you make charitable donations, a portion of your gift is likely to go to the charities' operating expenses. The percentage that goes to actual program services will vary from one charity to the next. To find out exactly how your charitable contributions will be spent, you should research charitable organizations before giving.
As founder and executive director of Foundation Beyond Belief, an organization designed to support charitable donations, Dale McGowan is well versed in researching charities. Foundation Beyond Belief uses multiple resources to help in their research, but McGowan also recommends contacting charitable organizations directly.
"Charities that have been around for three or more years should have at least one full cycle of audits and annual reports available on their website," McGowan says. He also advises looking at the whole picture. "High admin costs are not automatically a concern, but high individual salaries relative to the industry norm should be. Look for programs with a clear, stated awareness of the current best practices in their area."

Though his last feature, September 2010's Mad World, found Big Apple emcee Loot devastated by the cold nature of the world around him, he hasn't let the struggle sap his motivation to suceed. Determined to Press On, the artist returns with a grind anthem par excellence. This cut finds Ralph Random serving up a larger-than-life, synth-driven beat as Loot showcases his unstoppable drive and artistic vision.

|Former Auburn player may avoid point-shaving trial
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 18 October 2013 11:55
His attorneys have sought to get him in a pre-trial diversion program, and the U.S. attorney's office in Montgomery is recommending it.
Federal prosecutor Clark Morris says the recommendation still must be approved by the U.S. Probation Office and a federal judge. She says pre-trial diversion usually involves a fine and community service under the supervision of a probation officer. The charges are dismissed, but the defendant can be charged again if he doesn't complete the program.
Ward's attorney, Robert Beeman, says he's optimistic Ward will avoid a trial scheduled for Nov. 4.
Ward was arrested in June on charges accusing him of conspiring to fix a game against Arkansas. He has pleaded not guilty.

Who Will Be in the Next President's Cabinet?
Thursday, October 30, 2008
Guests:Blake Hounshell
Comments [4]
Why not Paul Krugman for Treasury Secretary? I was surprised not to see him on the list.
FYI: Definitely NOT Bill Clinton (He's really not as popular as some of the media would have him be--and I voted for him, reluctantly...)
Bloomberg is also in the category of highly overrated and would be huge mistake for any cabinet post. I'm just working on getting him OUT of NYC politics.
Perhaps I missed the mention, but I wondered why I did not hear Wesley Clark's name. He is eminently qualified.
secretary of peace?
secretary for the poor?
Susan Rice and Samantha Power have both been mentioned as a potential secretary of state for Obama. Who would McCain have in his potential cabinet?

By Srithar Visuasam: Victorian based Peter Maniatis has taken out this years Australian Boxing Promoter of the Year award at a function held in Melbourne last Sunday. The founder of Peter Maniatis Promotions has now won the coveted prize for the third time in the past four years and has solidified himself as the foremost boxing promoter in Australia..
In receiving the honour, Maniatis stated it means I must be keeping people happy in order to win the award. There were 6 nominees for the promoter of the year, which included runner up Murray Thomson of Fighters Factory and former IBF Super Featherweight Champion, Barry Michael.
Looking ahead to 2009, Peter is bringing former WBO Heavyweight Champion, Tommy The Duke Morrison to Australia for a tour down under in April. Morrison, who defeated ring legend George Foreman in June 1993 via unanimous points decision to claim the world title, will come to Australia for a three week tour. He holds a 48-3-2 record with 42 knockouts and also starred in Rocky V alongside Sylvester Stallone.
Morrison had over a 10 year absence from the ring due to testing HIV positive by the Nevada Athletic Commission in 1996. After several negative tests in late 2006, Morrison was later cleared to fight and returned to the ring in 2007 and has fought twice since his comeback, the most recent in March this year in Leon, Mexico, winning by third round knockout against countryman Matt Weishaar.
Maniatis states that among his major priorities for next year is to promote Tommy Morrison
get him cleared medically to fight and maybe challenge Solomon Haumono or John Hopoate. Haumono and Hopoate are two of Australias biggest names in heavyweight boxing, with Hopoate the current Australian champion.
During his stay in Australia, Morrison will present the Bob Rose Cup on April 3 before headlining a black tie dinner on April 17 at The Powerhouse in Albert Park, Melbourne. The event will feature plenty of Australian celebrities and boxing identities and will serve as a fundraiser for Morrisons HIV-AIDS charity foundation - KO AIDS.
Tickets for the event are priced at $1,500 for a table of ten and can be booked by phoning +61 419154340.

Joost van der Westhuizen got so carried away with the Springbok win in Rustenburg that he incorrectly presented John Smit with the Freedom Cup.
The cup, played for by South Africa and New Zealand, this year involved the teams' three matches in the Vodacom Tri-Nations. The All Blacks won the cup by beating the Boks 35-17 in Wellington and 45-26 in Pretoria, yet Van der Westhuizen gave the trophy to a confused Smit.
SuperSport then failed to acknowledge their mistake, presenting All Black captain Richie McCaw with the cup off-air.
SA Rugby's Rayaan Adriaanse told planetrugby that the incident was unfortunate and admitted New Zealand had won the cup 2-1.
Meanwhile, SuperSport's post-match interviewer, Garth Wright, embarrassed the country further during his chat with Mils Muliaina.
"I'm sorry for you, but for the Springboks we're happy," Wright told the shocked All Black fullback, before turning back to the camera. "Well that's Mils Muliaina … let me tell you something, he looks a little disappointed, he should be disappointed. I want to tell you, I'm so happy for the Springboks, I'm happy for South Africa."
