Another purse question!
I am looking for a classically styled leather satchel, maybe a tote or briefcase, that can stand up to everyday use and last until I retire. Help me narrow the field! [more inside]
this is why i can't have nice things
I have a nice leather handbag and I accidentally squished one of the handles under a chair leg. This is my first leather bag and I've only had it since March and I am feeling sad that I have ruined it, even though I doubt anyone but me can see what happened to the strap. It made me realize that I have no idea how to take care of leather. I'd like some tips (and maybe some perspective on whether I should be this bummed about it). [more inside]
Should I get my couch reupholstered in synthetic leather?
I have inherited a beautiful mid-century sectional couch, and it needs to be reupholstered. Since we have two dogs, I would prefer leather, but unfortunately it is going to take a whopping $6000 worth of real leather to complete the job (that's just the skins, not the foam or the labour). I am considering a synthetic option: bonded leather or vinyl or PVC of some type. Are there decent synthetic materials available now that will look like leather and stand up to ordinary wear and tear? [more inside]
How to restore an old leather jacket?
We're talking 1970's here. It's one of the old Harley jackets you got when you bought a bike. [more inside]
Boots similar to Tretorn Oken leather, but better quality?
I bought these Oken Leather boots less than a month ago, but the sole is separating at the heel. A bit of googling reveals quite a few complaints of that type,so I'm getting a refund rather than replacement. Are there any shoes with similar styling, but great build quality?
Cleaning a leather briefcase
I got some purple ink on my Saddleback briefcase. I tried a leather cleaner, but it did nothing. So my question is, what should I try next? (The answer "don't worry about it, stains give bags character" is actually helpful, since it'll help me come to terms with inking up my graduation present.) [more inside]
How to get the smell of perfume the hell out of a leather purse?
Bought a vintage purse from etsy, and now the perfume-y, musty stank monster has taken over my apartment…help? [more inside]
Plus size leather blazer
I like the look of this leather blazer. I'm specifically looking for a jacket I can wear indoors as a pseudo-suit jacket in my business casual workplace. Can you suggest a leather blazer, similar to this one, or at least NOT moto or mixed media style? I am in the U.S. Size-wise, I'm right on the edge between 1x and XXL, or between a straight 16 and an 18W. [more inside]
Clothing ignoramus seeks particular leather jacket
I'm looking for a certain type of (perhaps faux) leather jacket, but, as with most clothing items I shop for, I have no idea what this kind of thing is called in the fashion world so I don't know what terms to search for. Help me out? [more inside]
Foraging free/cheap scrap hardwood, leather, & bones: where to look?
I have some craft and design projects I'd like to create with *quality* scrap hardwood, *quality* scrap leather, and game animal skulls/teeth/other bones. The bigger the wood/leather scraps the better. Other than Etsy suppliers, where are the best places in my community to try to look for these things and get them for little to no cost? [more inside]
Start walkin'.
I'm a guy in Los Angeles. I need some sexy, funky, S&M/leather-friendly, ankle-height black boots for rocking out on go-go platforms, cruising around at Burning Man, and generally pairing up with scandalous outfits at club nights. My budget could be up to $350 for the right pair. In-store only, because I'd really like to try them on. Where shall I go?

Leather jacket cleaning/oiling?
I bought a nice Burberry leather bomber jacket a few years ago that I wear pretty heavily during the fall/winter months. Breaking it out again for the season and noticed that it's got a bit of accumulated grime on it and the leather has coarsened a bit in spots from exposure to the elements. Can anyone recommend a good way to clean or oil it to get it back into top shape? I'm also open to taking it in somewhere for treatment if that's advisable, but very wary of harsh treatments or chemicals (i.e., certainly no dry cleaning).
Help me find this leather jacket, please.
I saw this leather jacket (and scarf, although a friend swears it's a sweater) on Tumblr but sadly the original poster didn't cite the source and doesn't have an ask box so I cannot ask him/her directly: [more inside]
Help me outfit my iPad Mini for the boardroom
Looking for a classy leather case for my new iPad mini with Retina display. Apple's Smart Cover is proving to be fairly flimsy and cheap. I'm looking at the StilGut Couverture leather case and Apple's own Smart Case - any other cases I should be thinking about?

Can anyone identify the designer or maker of the brown leather sofa in the upper left photo in this image ? Please not wild guesses - only answer if you know for certain. Thanks!
Amazing Men's Leather Bags?
This is my current bag, a military surplus canvas haversack. I love it. This is the bag I'm coveting. I would love to love it but it is Way To Much Money. Where is the bag that meets these two in the middle? Where are the Excellent Leather Men's Bags on sale? I am looking for something I can carry without comment (and will last) for the next 20 years.
How can I stop my leather bag staining my clothes?
I have a swell new leather shoulder bag. I wore it walking for an hour slung diagonally across my chest. It was a warm day leaving a very attractive diagonal line of sweat across my chest and shoulder from the strap. So far, so typical. However, with this new brown bag brown stains were left as well. Is there any way to treat or wash the strap to make sure it doesn't stain again? It is a fairly pricey bag, which I had assumed would mean it would not do this.
How should I clean these sandals a dog peed on?
On Tuesday, my cousin's dog let forth a deluge of pee on my feet. It was LOTS of pee. I was wearing my favorite leather sandals (very similar to these). While I cleaned off my feet, my cousin cleaned my sandals with a wet towel (no soap). I had to wear them the rest of the day, before I traveled home on Wednesday. I feel kind of icky at the prospect of wearing them again. How should I clean them?

Removing chewing gum from leather
So I managed to get gum on my shoe yesterday. Normally I would just scrape it off, but in this case it's on the top of the leather shoe, not on the sole. I did some googling and saw advice to freeze the item with gum on it and other advice to use a hairdryer to heat the gum. One page suggested peanut butter. Since these seem like contradictory bits of advice, I'm here asking: Have you ever tried to remove gum from leather? What worked? Since it's the top of the shoe I'd like to have it look ok when I'm done.
"Tube collar"?
My leather jacket has bitten the dust. I'd like to find a replacement, but I'm really fond of the large, tubular collar that mine had and can't seem to find that style anywhere. Any ideas or keywords I can use?
Help me reupholster leather desk chair
I have a leather computer desk chair that I got 2 years ago that I really like and they don't sell it anymore, it is very ergonomic. I have tried out other chairs and not found one as good. The leather has torn in several places and I need to reupholster it. I don't want to take it somewhere to be reupholstered becasue a) I don't have the money and B) I would have nothing to sit on while it is in the shop. The thing is I don't know anything about reupholstering , let alone what looks somewhat complicated due to all the panels, in it. I have made a video showing in detail the chair, and the problems with it. I will be very grateful to anyone who can help with with this. This is the video.
What goes with a leather blazer?
I was recently given this rather nice quality leather blazer, but I feel like a mafioso if I wear it out. Thoughts on what to pair it with? On the legs, especially? The model's very minimal t-shirt seems like an ok idea, I dunno though. I'm pretty tall, fairly skinny.
Cleaning My Cloth/Leather Bag
I have owned a cloth messenger bag with leather trim around the edges for a couple years. Over time, the cloth has gotten somewhat dingy (no issues with the leather). I am unlikely to find another bag like this, so I want to keep it clean, if I can. Laundromats won't touch it because of the leather and I can't machine wash it for the same reason. I have tried scrubbing it by hand with different things - vinegar, lemon juice, and bleach (all diluted in some amount of water) to no avail. Internet searches haven't turned up many other suggestions. Are there any recommendations for other things to try?

Vera Pelle is not the designer!
SO and me saw a chocolate brown satchel purse (this kind of design but the leather was real and not mottled) she really liked at a shop but agreed it was over-priced and probably cheaper online. The bag was labeled "Vera Pelle" and searches on eBay and other places brought up quite a lot of bags under that label. On Friday, we discovered Vera Pelle just means "real leather" in Italian and is stamped on any bag made in Italy that is made out of leather. So, we're trying to find places that have catalogs of Italian made, non-branded leather purses to peruse to find the purse she liked. Any suggestions?
how to liquidate thousands of indian leather bags from the 80s?
Dearest holy hivemind, My family has thousands of Shantiniketan leather bags from the 80s/90s in storage from when my dad used to import them and sell them. I'm ideally looking for some wholesaler, preferably in New York, whom I could approach and say something like, "hey, here are (tens of?) thousands of vintage leather bags - do with them what you will," in exchange for some kind of moneys. Do y'all have any suggestions for what to do? We've also been thinking about eBay and Etsy, but those seems like they'll take a while and require a good amount of supervision/managing. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking to get (re)belted...
I have a slim leather belt with lovely Mexican silver hardware; but the belt itself is fairly shredded, and has already been repaired once (by a shoe repairman, who did the best he could).

When I first arrived I was unsure on first impressions as I was the only person there and it was not a typical hostel. . .within a few minutes I realized how wonderful and warm the hosts were and what a lovely home they had! The location is far from the center, but after a few days of hiking I wanted a place to relax, read a book, take a warm shower and get a good nights rest and I got that and more! The breakfast was perfect and the hosts were so sweet. I would stay there again in a second!

Reload the page and try again.
Interdisciplinary Studies – This is a very complex program. I believe it prepares us for the world better because it teaches you how to incorporate two subjects into one application. There is no specialization, like Nursing or Engineering, but in the professional arena one could work in many different departments because you have learned analytical thinking skills.
Health & Safety:
I think that the campus is fairly safe. At night however there isn't a lot of security that I see.
Campus Quality:
ASU's good reputation and its ability to excel in sports and extra-curricular activities make it special
Drug Safety:
Drug Scene – the drug scene is not very visible, however, drinking can be fairly visible, not much pressure, unsure of enforcement
Local Area:
At ASU, there are a great deal of cultural events, there are always sports activities to either see or take part in, and the local area attractions include various great food spots.
This is the worst part about attending ASU. They offer little to none financial aid for students, and on top of it all they keep raising tuition prices. I'm paying almost as much as an out-of-state student, even though I live in-state; absolutely ridiculous.
Off-Campus Dining:
What Tempe Has to Offer – There are a variety of different places to eat off campus. The only reason I did not give these awesome dining places an A+ is solely for the fact that ASU is too large of a campus to walk from to get food. I feel unsafe walking alone. Besides this, the food is great, the atmosphere is fun, and for the most part it's all cheap and delicious.
Local Area:
A lot of nice looks downtown, but not much to do other than sporting events. ASU didn't do well in promoting downtown activities.
Campus Food:
Campus dining was one of the few good things at ASU.
The Tempe campus is right next to Mill Ave. which is the bar scene. The enforcement in that area is not severe. Although, if one were to try to have some people in their dorm it is not happeneing, especially in the downtown campus which has a restriction of one guest.
Off-Campus Housing:
The cost to live near ASU is somewhat expensive. For example, the lightrail, which is our communities major public transportation system fromt he downtown campus to the tempe campus, is a major hot spot for apartments. Unfortunately, these apartments are somewhat expensive. They go per person and the lowest being $400 a month,not including utilities.
Parking at ASU is very expensive and can run into the hundreds of dollars to get a decent spot. My parking pass this year was over $700.00. They ticket for every little thing and if you want cheap parking you have to be a long way from your classes.
Sun Devils – Lately the Sun Devils have not been much to cheer for. The fans are great, but the teams are not so good.
There are a diverse number of churches with in walking distance from campus,Catholic, Muslim, LDS, Lutheran, Unitaterian, Methodist you name it ASU has it.
Party Scene:
its not its all hyped up to be around ASU. the cops are literally out to get you. Any good party is broken up. The only freedom is mill street when you hit 21.
Health & Safety:
the police are very strict in the area but there are some shady parts around the campus.
Getting Better – With the addition of the Light Rail in Phoenix transportation for students has improved greatly.
Campus Housing:
Vista Del Sol – It was just like having my own off-campus apartment. A great way to still enjoy campus life but still get a taste of independence.
Overall Experience:
You Meet Great People – I enjoy being at ASU more and more everyday. I honestly love going to almost every one of classes. Without them I would not have met the friends that I get to hang out with everyday. I feel so great being here and being on my own. My only issue with my experience here is my roommate; a party girl who pretends like I don't exist. But with a positive attitude I go about my days and my ways. I have a great time going to sporting events, seeing movies, riding my bike around, swimming, and just hanging out. With ASU being in the city there is always tons of stuff to do. For those of you Sundevils that find yourself saying, "I'm bored," you definitely aren't taking advantage of all this place has to offer.
Hot Sun – It's Phoenix and I think we all can associate Phoenix with the big hot sun. Walking around from class to class in the hottest months is not so fun, but when it comes to it it's all about attitude and your habits on how to handle the sun. I personally love the heat even though I sweat like crazy! But it's always pool weather and the sun is great for Vitamin D. You just have to be smart in the sun; drink tons of water and wear sunscreen!
Drug Safety:
Drinking More Than Drugs – There really are a lot of students who talk about getting wasted and drunk on the weekends, but it's a scene that you don't have to be apart of. Arizona State gets a lot of attention for being a huge party school, but I have not felt any pressure to drink nor do am I forced to be apart of the scene. I personally have not had to deal with any drug abuse here as well.
Campus Quality:
Programs Are Hands on. A lot of the engineering programs here are very hands on and lab based
Campus Housing:
Free Food at Events, but No Where to Go. Living on campus provies the opporunity to ease the transition of living and home to living on ones own as an adult. There were many events and activities held through out the semester that drew students out of hibernation in their dorms and helped them meet new people. Not to mention there was a lot of free food at these events - a huge plus for any college student. Though, this was at the Polytechnic Campus so there isn't much else to do nearby the school. Overall, not bad.
Always Connected. The computer center, which has tons of computers so one is always available, also has a lot of sofa seating for those with laptops. The wifi works everywhere on campus, not just the computer lab. And I can even go off campus to one of the surrounding businesses for lunch and still access the schools wireless internet. I love it.
Everything I Need.I chose ASU because of their language programs, and I am thrilled with the success I am having earning my spanish degree. The professors make themselves very available to students to talk and discuss grades or anything else to help excel in the classes. Advising is also very helpful, and the honor society just adds more incentive to do my best.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Arizona State is like no other university in the country. With a large, vibrant, and exciting student body that truly makes the campus unique, there is no arguing that ASU is by any means a boring place to be for the next four years of your life. As soon as you step onto ASU's campus, you will feel the immense amount of positive and exciting energy that gives you sense of belonging. Even though there are so many students around campus, you will be sure to find a niche to call your own. College is the time to find yourself and truly learn who you are as you prepare for the real world. ASU provides the perfect environment to challenge you to make "adult" decisions, and you won't always, but by the end of it all, you will mature into a dedicated individual!
Even though students will struggle with all-nighters, sports practice, parking tickets, and trying to recover from a great night, many of them couldn't ask for anything else. There will be times that you are drowning in homework and studying, but by the end of it all, you will look back and laugh. Your peers help you get through the tough times and make those social outings even more fun. ASU knows how to party hard, but when it comes to crunch time, we pull it off well. The kids here know how to have a great time, the nightlife and social settings are extremely fun, the academics are quite challenging—especially when you apply yourself and take it seriously—but most importantly, students will leave prepared for post-graduation and taking on the world. ASU is a fantastic place to meet new people and a great way to experience life in the great southwest. But don't take my word for it—come on out and experience it for yourself!

On May 25 when we commemorate the Africa Day of the 1963 founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) we celebrate as the People of Africa, our unity, in our diversity as we express our deep appreciation to the founders of the OAU for having bequeathed an Africa free from slavery, colonialism and apartheid. The OAU paved the way for the establishment of the African Union where we recognize that the destiny of Africa is in our hands, and that we must act now to shape the future we want. The theme for the Africa Day 2015 is "We are Africa". Chairman Robert Mugabe is leading us to realize the picture we have painted of what we desire for ourselves, for future generations and the continent. Headquartered in Addis Ababa, with its legislative arm, the Pan African Parliament, based in Midrand, South Africa; the AU by 2018, will abolish visa requirements for all African citizens in all African countries and African Countries will issue African Passports. The African Union Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want, sets out our 7 aspirations, namely: 1) A prosperous Africa based on inclusive growth and sustainable development; 2) An integrated continent, politically united and based on the ideals of Pan Africanism and the vision of Africa's Renaissance; 3) An Africa of good governance, democracy, respect for human rights, justice and the rule of law; 4) A peaceful and secure Africa; 5) An Africa with a strong cultural identity, common heritage, values and ethics; 6) An Africa where development is people-driven, unleashing the potential of its women and youth; and 7) Africa as a strong, united and influential global player and partner.There is a determination to eradicate poverty in one generation where people will have access to all the basic necessities of life including shelter, water, sanitation, energy, public transport and ICT. Agriculture will be modern for increased production and value addition and Africa's collective food security and collective GDP will be proportionate to her share of the world's population and natural resource endowments. States are urged to connect Africa through world-class Infrastructure, with a concerted push to finance and implement the major infrastructure projects in transport connecting all African capitals and commercial centres through the Africa Integrated High Speed Train Initiative and harness all African energy resources to ensure modern, efficient, reliable, cost effective, renewable and environmentally friendly energy to all African households, businesses, industries and institutions, through building the national and regional energy pools and grids. The continent should be on equal footing with the rest of the world as an information society, an integrated e-economy where every government, business and citizen has access to reliable and affordable ICT services by increasing broadband penetration by 10% by 2018, broadband connectivity by 20% and providing access to ICT to children in schools and venture capital to young ICT entrepreneurs and innovators.The picture we paint has an Africa of a universal culture of good governance, democratic values, gender equality, and respect for human rights, justice and the rule of law; with capable institutions and transformative leadership in place at all levels. The continent's population will enjoy affordable and timely access to independent courts and judiciary that deliver justice without fear or favour. Corruption and impunity will be a thing of the past. Competent, professional, rules and merit-based public institutions will serve the continent and deliver effective and efficient services. Institutions at all levels of government will be developmental, democratic, and accountable. Above all, there will be transformation leadership in all fields (political, economic, religious, cultural, academic, youth and women) and at continental, regional, national and local levels.That is the Africa We Want. The destiny of Africa is in our hands.
For God and my country.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"This is a simple elegant card but the bride and groom didn't like the organge color of the coral, so with the designer's help it was changed to a smoke gray - both the invitation as well as response and details card. Feel free to be creative - you can have your own perfect card! Only dissappointment was they don't provide "inside" envelopes - only outside. Too late to add them now. Should be provided at no extra cost."
"I am having and as Asian-American wedding and was looking for an invitation that wouldn't put us over out budget but still had a nice Asian flair. I loved the design and to top it off the little elephant on the front and back made everything come together perfectly. My family is from Laos the land of a million elephants. I was able to keep the information simple yet it still made the invitation beautiful. The customer service was wonderful. I received my proofs within a timely manner and when I did come in contact with any staff they were always friendly, and knowledgeable."
"I have recently ordered this in the gold text with the white envelopes. Quality of paper, text and colours were brilliant, clear resolution and of fine quality. All personal design requests that i had made were dealt with in no time, quick, friendly helpful service. All ordered online, did not have to telephone or get in contact with anyone, was a simple and easy process overall. Delivery of this item was much faster than i had anticipated, as it was an international delivery it was delivered within 2 working days, which i am very pleased with as i was told it would take up to 5-11 days. Very pleased with this product and with Wedding Paper Divas, especially as this was my first time coming across this website and purchasing from here. i will most definitely recommend this card for someone who is looking for a simple yet elegant wedding invitation. I will also be ordering from Wedding Paper Divas again as i am really impressed with the service, quality and range of choice."
"I absolutely love these invitations. The paper is gorgeous and the printing is perfect. The die cut I ordered is such a nice touch! Perfect. But, if you can't print out a proof easily, then there is potential for error. So.... Advice! Please call this company to send you a proof or digital email if you need to see and make corrections on paper and not the computer screen. Super customer service. If only all companies were like this one! Sincerely, Barb"

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Good... But Not Good EnoughWhen this drama started out I had some big expectations for it. The first episode was light and funny, and I loved it as it progressed. I think if this show had been a 16 or 20 episode drama it's ratings would have been much higher. After a while the plot felt like it was dragging, and the last episode left you on a cliff-hanger that'll make you mad for a while. Given, there was supposed to be a ...Read more
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Entertaining but repetitiveThis drama goes very slowly(as in the romance and plot in general) and takes huge amounts of time to develop a light chance of getting the romance that viewers want. Even deep into the drama, the same themes develop and its like the characters made no progress in their relationship at all. I get so tired of repeating the same situations over and over again that I almost decided not to finish the ...Read more

When is it too much?
by Delyte
posted Jun 6 2011 6:31AM
Check out this video of Rihanna in concert and let me know when it is too much. Rihanna's style of dressing and performing have all changed since she came out. She seemed innocent and chill when she first stepped out on the scene, now it seems that sex is her main focus when dancing and singing. The entire video shows her grinding , rolling her hips and dancing in a provocative way the entire time. Where is the music industry going these days? When are they going to have some kind of restriction on things for these artist to follow by. Then many wonder why children are getting pregnant at younger ages, and why they know the words they know and are doing the things they are doing. Rihanna may can sing but she is not a role model.

This is the largest point spread I can remember in an NFL game. Can anyone think of a larger spread?
I probably would take Denver too, LOL.
This is the largest point spread I can remember in an NFL game. Can anyone think of a larger spread?
I probably would take Denver too, LOL.
There was a 27-point spread like 40 years ago. Steelers against Tampa, I think, and I know they covered.
The history of 20+ point spreads is VERY bad for the favorites covering, but Seattle covered the 19 against Jacksonville a couple weeks ago and, to be honest, I'd take Denver here as well. I don't think I will when it rolls around (there's just not enough of an edge in the line for me to hit it), but yeah, it says a lot about a franchise when you don't even like them to get a dirty backdoor cover being given 27 points. Yikes.
Some reports indicate it is moving up to 27 or beyond. So we will see what it ends at. Seriously, can someone recall a bigger one? I am sure it has happened but I cannot personally.
I think I'd eagerly take Jacksonville there. If I ever gambled.
The consistent factor of all of your dissatisfying relationships and failures is you.
R.W. 09.21.10 I love you.
If Denver blows out Dallas and Jax does its thing I think the spread hits 28.
The trouble with the world today is the intelligent people are full of doubt and the dumb people are full of confidence - Charles Bukowski
On paper, this game is a blowout, but Peyton could have an off day, the weather could be a mess, etc., and it's hard to account for garbage points. I don't think these types of games are worth playing, from either side. You're really just guessing, and it's certainly not a game I have any interest in watching.
I'm betting the Broncos until they fail to cover. They haven't let me down yet. No idea how they are only a 7.5 favorite at Dallas.
"Governing doesnt disappear when government shrinks; instead corporations come to govern your life like HMOs, oil companies, drug companies, agribusiness, and so on, with accountability only to maximizing profit, not to public needs." - George Lakoff
I would be more likely to buy Jacksonville covering if Henne is QBing.
"Personal foul, 69, offense. He was giving him the business."
If the weather is anyway halfway decent, and Denver does not mail it in with a quarter to go, odds are that Denver will cover... I rate the Eagles offense much higher than that of the Jaguars, and Denver has hung 49 points on the Baltimore defense, another 38 on the Eagles defense, 34 on the Giants defense, and 37 on the Raiders defense. So yeah, under normal circumstances I see them putting up some 38-40 points easily on offense alone... And frankly I do not see the Jaguars scoring 13 points at this point.
Messed up by how many the Eagles lost - should have trusted my instinct (52 scored against rather than the 50 I cam across)...

Al Michaels: "That's the loudest manure chant I have ever heared!"
Sleeping barely above the sea... and walking under water
- People are fooled by Dallas record and the usual annual media hype (see ESPN). Which ignores the following: Combined record of the opponents of Dallas: 6-10. Combined record of the opponents Dallas has beaten: 0-8.
What has added to the hype is that the other teams in the NFC East have looked quite bad, while at the same time ignoring that all these teams faced a (much) tougher schedule than Dallas. Records of the opponents the other teams played: Eagles opponents is 11-5, that of the Giants is 11-4 and the Redskins 6-9. So based on record so far, Dallas has had by far the easiest schedule of the division. I mean, the wins of the Redskins and Eagles come at least against teams that have one recorded win.

Peyton is old.......if Denver is up big going into the 4th they probably just bench everyone. The danger with big spreads is always garbage time. The inexperienced backup comes in and throws a pick-6, the backup defenders give up a couple of prevent TDs, etc.

According to a new report from Autobild, BMW is considering reordering the nomenclature of their model lineup for consistency. If this happens, all sedan, wagons, and GT's will get odd numbers. All coupes, convertibles and Gran Coupe's get even numbers.
In other words, the successors of the E92 3-series coupe would become the 4-series coupe (F32), the E93 3-series convertible a 4-series convertible (F33). BMW had similar plans for the current generation E92 and E93 3-series but got cold feet for several reasons. Now the successful introduction … CONTINUED
The next generation F30 3-series is nearly upon us (we're expecting info on it later this year), so what is your improvements wishlist for the next 3 series? BMW does read the site and comments, so come share… you never know, your wish may be granted.
According to Automobile Magazine, the next generation F30 / F32 3-series will spawn 5 variants, including a Gran Turismo (GT) version. Also, the next gen M3 will no longer come in sedan form, leaving only a coupe and convertible version.

It is a beautiful recently re-designed apartment hotel with new wellness area. the food was very good, the staff was nice. we especially enjoyed the panorama sauna and the relaxing room after skiing. We will definitely go back.
After a day of skiing in a great skiing area I continue my day in a Turkish steam cabin while my wife enjoys a massage and my girls rush to the swimming pool.

Definitely a great choice to stay in Radstadt. The ski regions of Radstadt, Flachau, Flachauwinkel / Zauchensee are just around the corner. It is much better to stay in Radstadt since you pay 50% less than you would pay in Flachau or Zauchensee for a similar hotel. Great Sauna and indoor pool! Great kids play room!
The Ski storage room...
Newly renovated hotel, with brandnew wonderfull (indoor) swimming pool. Excellent comfortable rooms, excellent service and very good breakfast and dinner. Also includes a kids games-room, ideally for families with kids. Close to the Radstadt ski-lift, and with the same Ski-Amadé skipass, also neightbouring lifts of Flachau, Zauchensee or Planaï are easily reachable.
Excellent choice in case you are planning to ski in the diverse region of Ski Amadé. Clean, comfortable and friendly apartment hotel. The half pension lodging is absolutely satisfying. It has been already our fourth time for our family from Hungary. Probably, this says it all.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
What a crisis has done to the people of Greece
Sam Bollier | 21 Jan 2013 09:15 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Iraq, Syria, Turkey
In northern Iraq, ethnic Kurdish security forces called peshmerga patrol the poorly defined border of the country's Kurdish region, with clear orders to keep Iraqi army troops out.
"Everyone here is on alert," Al Jazeera's Omar al-Saleh reported from near the internal border on January 17. With both sides fully armed, he said, "any mistake could lead to a violent conflict".
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki claims the right to freely move soldiers anywhere in the country, but the country's semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) says this is unconstitutional.
As in so many other conflicts around the world, the presence of oil is raising the stakes and the tensions. Iraq's ethnic Kurdish region is so oil-rich that in some places, the stuff literally oozes out of the ground.
The KRG is using this oil to flex its political muscle and its growing independence from Baghdad: Earlier this month, a truck laden with crude oil from Iraq's Kurdish region delivered its wares to the Turkish port of Mersin, on the Mediterranean Sea - marking the first time that the KRG has exported oil directly to world markets.
Going around Baghdad
"Big Oil loves Iraqi Kurdistan - compared to Baghdad," energy expert and journalist Pepe Escobar told Al Jazeera. The region's oil bounty and a friendly investment climate have induced major oil companies such as ExxonMobil and Chevron to circumvent Baghdad, inking deals instead with the KRG, which is based in Erbil, about 300km north of Baghdad.
Disputed region flares tensions in Iraq
Iraq's embattled central government, already harried by a mass Sunni-led protest movement in the country's west and centre, is now facing down the KRG's waxing ambitions as well.
According to Assem Jihad, a spokesman for Iraq's ministry of oil, exports without Baghdad's permission are "not legal and not constitutional".
"The ministry considers any oil exported without the knowledge of the government and the ministry of oil to be smuggled," he told Al Jazeera. Nor, said Jihad, does the ministry recognise contracts signed without the federal government's agreement.
For its part, the KRG doesn't recognise contracts signed without its permission, either: On January 18, it promptly rejected Baghdad's preliminary plans for British oil giant BP to help develop an oilfield near Kirkuk, a city disputed by the KRG and the central government.
Turkey's Kurd connection
But as the KRG's relations with Baghdad fray, it is growing closer to neighbouring Turkey. The Turkish government has fought a low-intensity Kurdish insurgency for decades, and has sometimes launched raids into northern Iraq's Kurdish areas.
As a result, Turkey and Iraq's Kurds haven't always been on close terms: Turkey has historically been "very concerned about the growth of autonomy on the part of the Iraqi Kurds", worrying that this could encourage its own Kurdish population to seek greater autonomy, said Bulent Aliriza, the director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Turkey Project.
In recent years, though, Turkey has made what Aliriza describes as a "180-degree change" from its previous policy, during which time business between Turkey and Iraq - especially its Kurdish region - has blossomed. According to the Wall Street Journal, the countries did $8.3bn worth of business together in 2011, and many of the companies operating in Iraq's Kurdish region are Turkish-owned.
Kifah Karim, a Kurdish writer and journalist from Mosul, claims more Turkish politicians are becoming aware that measures such as cross-border raids into Iraqi Kurdistan are "irrational", in light of the "thousands of business contracts forged with Kurdish companies in the region".
"There are hundreds of big Turkish companies working in the region," he told Al Jazeera, "securing billions of dollars for the Turkish government coffers".
The next step in the relationship could be a new oil pipeline, a plan jointly announced by Turkey and the KRG last year. A pipeline already links Iraq's Kurdish region with Turkey, but it's controlled by Baghdad. Last month, the KRG stopped exporting oil through this line after a payment dispute with the central government.
Necdet Pamir, the former deputy general manager of the Turkish Petroleum Corporation and an instructor at Bilkent University in Ankara, argues that the planned pipeline is a bad idea. Whether or not one likes the Iraqi government, he said, Turkey should respect Baghdad's prerogative.
And a new pipeline built without the cooperation of Baghdad, he believes, would be foolish given the prevailing circumstances. "If there is instability in a region, you cannot construct a pipeline … [and] even if you build it, it won't operate," he explained - noting the aftermath of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, in which he said Turkey lost huge amounts of transit fees when oil ceased to flow through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline.
Baghdad's not happy
"We don't support oil exports from any part of Iraq without the appropriate approval of the Iraqi government."
- Victoria Nuland, US state department spokesperson
Iraq's central government is not thrilled by the KRG's growing autonomy, and sees Turkey as an enabler.
Escobar describes the situation between Turkey and Iraq today as an "undeclared war". Exacerbating the tension, he told Al Jazeera, are the countries' differing stances on the Syrian civil war, with Turkey staunchly opposing Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad, and Iraq supporting him.
Turkey has also sheltered Tareq al-Hashimi, Iraq's former vice-president, against whom an Iraqi court issued a death sentence on charges of leading death squads.
Meanwhile, the United States is also wary of the KRG's ambitions. "We don't support oil exports from any part of Iraq without the appropriate approval of the Iraqi government," stated US state department spokesperson Victoria Nuland last month.
Washington supports Iraq's central government, and worries that if the KRG pushes too hard, the Iraqi state could be at greater risk of breaking up. Pamir said the US administration also realises that if it aligns itself with the KRG, then Maliki "will be more and more close to the Iranian regime", which the US is loath to see happen.
But Turkey and the KRG might proceed with building a new pipeline anyways, with or without the blessing of the US, according to Aliriza. "That's something that the Turkish government is seriously considering."
Moderating influence?
Although northern Iraq's energy riches are appealing to Turkish business, some say Turkey may have another motive for drawing closer to Iraq's Kurds.
"There's the hope that [KRG President] Massoud Barzani would … perhaps help to solve the Kurdish problem within Turkey by exercising a moderate influence" on Kurds living there, said Aliriza.
There are already indications that this strategy is bearing fruition. The recent announcement that negotiations between Turkey and the leader of the separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) would take place in Erbil, the KRG's capital - and not in, say, Oslo, where previous talks were held.
This, said Aliriza, "is evidence Turkey is hoping that Mr Barzani would use that influence favourably, positively. It remains to be seen how susceptible the Turkish Kurds would be to the advice of Iraqi Kurds," he cautioned. "But nonetheless, it is an important factor in the equation."
