E82 135i to M235i - initial owner review
Featured on
Well fellas, I finally took delivery of my M235, late yesterday here in Indiana, and I wanted to provide some initial thoughts to others on the forum.
By way of background, this is my 5th BMW. I had 2 E92s, both 328, and 2 E82 135s. All of those were MT but for the last 135, which has the DCT.
My M235 is BSM with a MT, the premium, and cold weather package, and I have about 70 miles on the clock at this point.
My current 135 is currently riding on Blizzaks, and the M235 is on PSS, just for points of comparison's sake. I drove them back to back today a few times in order to try and provide the most "real world" thoughts that I could.
Also, please remember that a lot of this is subjective.
This is a hands down win for the M235 for me. I always loved the way that the 135 drove, but it was in spite of having a face that only a mother could love - the E82 definitely took some getting used to if you know what I mean.
The M235 definitely has presence - the front facia (IMO) is more aggressive in terms of looks and function. The bumper appears to sit lower and looks more purposeful, with the large vents. It makes an impression from the front for sure. And the lights thank god they fixed the lights - no more E82 bug eyes. The M235 reminds me of a pissed off bird or something when viewed from the front - it just looks like it wants to eat you. I love that.
The side profile, for me, is a wash - they both look great. The E82 reminds me of my dad's E46, since it is a little taller, and the M235 looks to me like a smaller E92. They both look great from this angle - genuine eye candy. One note for those that are worried about the wheels - they are growing on me - and that's after a day and a half. I really think the chunky PSS has created the "small wheel" illusion. When they are shining and the tire is dressed, they're hot.
The booty I have to say looks better on the E82. It is more sculpted, like she has been doing the Brazilian Booty Lift or something.
the M235 looks better the further you are away from it - but up close it looks a little too flat, or plain, or something that I can't put my finger on. I might actually go with a diffuser of some kind after all.
The difference here seems to be an evolution more than anything. In full disclosure, I am not an "interior" snob in that it needs to do wild shit like massage my balls in order for me to like it, but I also want to know that I am not in a Subaru or something in that range.
I always considered the E82 to be functional and meeting the minimum standard for me, since I didn't opt for things like i-drive or Navi - and felt like there were places you could tell that BMW definitely was saving some coin. The M235 suffers from this less so I think for sure - everything from "testicle height" up to use Chris Harris' lingo on you, is very nice. Squishy plastics everywhere and high quality materials for sure. It is just a better place to be when compared to my 135 but the difference is more incremental than life-changing. Very nice regardless - feels like a cockpit more than the E82.
The seats, to me, are also a definite improvement. I feel like there is more leg support on the sides than in the E82, and the extension thing goes just a little bit further, allowing it to get to the backs of my knees, which is really nice when you are driving a manual transmission. I felt like I was being held in place more securely, and in a sporty car, that's definitely a plus.
I will say that the instrument cluster is at least more functional on the 135, as you guys know how the lack of an oil or coolant temp gauge on the M235 cluster seems to be an idiot omission on BMW's part. I can't imagine what they thought they were "saving" by leaving that off is potentially a sign that the accountants are making some headway in the final versions of what is rolled off the line. :roll eyes:
I also got the Hexagonal Aluminum Trim, and I like it a lot. Has a textile feel to it, and doesn't feel cheap at all, at least IMO. The black gloss trim in the M235 is on the same niceness level of the wood trim in my E82 - aka, they both look nice for sure.
The backseat and trunk are noticeably bigger. Especially the trunk - the mouth is bigger and the boot itself is "deeper" towards the back seat if that makes sense. There is also a nice cargo net in the back to hold your important shit down when you're getting nasty on a roundabout (yes, I actually put some 2 liters of Diet Coke back there and did that today).
Drive and Feel
And now to the one that matters the way this thing drives and feels
I have to be honest - the M235 doesn't feel
much quicker than the 135 - bear in mind I have driven it 70 miles and and keeping it under 4K - but it feels very "normal" from what I have come to expect from my 135. Very similar, where the extra weight of the M235 somewhat negates the 21 BHP advantage it has over the 135. I think this thing needs about 40 more BHP, and it would really change the relative "tie" that I describe above. I think a tune would cure all ills.
but for someone coming from a GTI or GLI, this thing will feel like a rocket because it
fast. I think I am just used to it, and was hoping the 21 BHP extra would make a bigger difference than it does at 4K or below. I would give a very slight edge here to the M235, but that could be more attributable to the MT - not sure yet
The exhaust note also sounds very nice to me - you can definitely hear it in the cabin with the windows cracked and the radio on at a normal level. With that being said, I would guess that this is something that people upgrade to make a little louder or aggressive - not that you have to have something crazy, but I do wish it were a hair louder. The cold start is roughly equivalent to that of my N55 135 (which has always been noticeably louder than my N54 135). Funny side note - the right pipe is the only one that exhaust comes out of until the butterfly flap closes, then you start to see it out of the left one too. No idea what that means, but my dad and I were laughing about it this morning. The "oh fuck, my left pipe is broken" definitely came out of my mouth...
One thing that I noticed right off the back is that the M235 feels bigger. Bigger all over really - longer bonnet, wider across the lane, just bigger. As a single dude that doesn't even have a dog, bigger doesn't necessarily mean better for me - but I didn't feel like it was a negative thing. Just an obvious difference that I noticed since I picked it up - strangely I didn't notice that in my test drive a couple of weeks ago. I think you need time to yourself without the sale dudes to really figure that out, at least to me.
Brakes are a wash - again here you can tell that the car is bigger than the 135 - but the pedal is firm, has good bite, and you stop with the same level of viciousness that any E82 owner would know and understand. One thing to note - it was in the mid 20s F here today - those PSS really need to be warmed up to feel the grip .which brings me to
The grip seems to be better on this car. Much better. Now I know, the 135 is on BLizzaks and the M235 is on PSS, but there is a noticeable difference that I am drawing on historical knowledge of here when it comes to the 135. There are several roundabouts in my town, and I was just driving from one to another to feel the grip of the thing, which is truly outstanding. Stupid grin on my face, and a couple of Chevy drivers pissed off at the same time - which is a double win in my book. Where the 135 is a little tail happy for my liking, this thing really doesn't step out until you're driving like a moron. And when it does, it does so in a more predictable manner than either of my 135s. Favorite part of the car so far which leaves us with
Steering Feel
I wish I had something exciting to say here, but with all due respect to those that disagree, and taking into account that I have never driven a F30 the doomsday view of the EPS is ridiculous. Yes, overall it is lighter than the 135. Is that bad? No - because when I want it to be heavy - aka roundabout hooligan driving in Sport + - it is plenty heavy and gives me plenty of feedback. Those that say it doesn't - well maybe those dudes ran into something while driving fast. I didn't run into anything, and again it felt "normal". No big differences to speak of, except maybe at really low speeds in comfort mode. I won't be spending much time in comfort mode because I like the way the car "feels" in Sport + so much better.
Honestly. This isn't a big deal. And it will just continue to improve. And if BMW wants to change it, my guess is that it could be accomplished in a software upgrade. Good luck doing that with a hydraulic system.
Random side note - if you want a true laugh, drive around town in Eco Mode - the damn thing wants you to shift into 6th @ 38 MPH. I am not making that up.
Final Verdict
I think this is similar to how I felt when I went from my last E92 to my first E82. It was like going from a nice sports car to a go-kart, so it was enough of a change that it took some getting used to. I have now had an E82 for the last 5+ years, so it's going to take some time to readjust to something that is closer to an E92 than an E82 in overall size.
With that being said, the car is definitely quick, it is very good looking, has nice amenities, and is quintessential BMW. I think it's going to be a great car for me.
PS - the car arrived on a truck, so it was dusty, and I will wash again when it warms up this week - forgive me for the lack of pictures...

Dollar-Friendly Destinations: Vietnam
There's growing excitement about Vietnam these days: The economy is booming, the weather is warm, the history is rich, and the country is eager to lure Americans. U.S. tourists, it seems, are just as eager to get to one of Asia's most diverse travel destinations. "I have to go before it gets real touristy," says Melissa Blossey, a 42-year-old New Yorker flying to Ho Chi Minh City on a recently launched United Airlines (UALAQ ) flight, the first by a U.S. carrier since the Vietnam War. "It seems like such a beautiful place, and I've always heard great things about the people and the shopping. The cuisine is supposed to be incredible. Plus, you get good value for the dollar."
She's right on the money. The food and shopping are fantastic. And the dollar, which has risen 3% over the past six months against the dong, definitely goes far. A silk jacket custom-made by a tailor along the fashionable Dong Khoi Street in Ho Chi Minh City, formerly called Saigon, costs all of $29. Just $40 will buy dinner for two, including wine, at the city's top-rated restaurant, the Mandarin, while a room at the restored luxury Caravelle Hotel can be had for $97 via discount hotel Web sites. Some will remember the Caravelle as the setting for the "Five O'Clock Follies" news conferences during the Vietnam War.
Vietnam isn't just cheap. Tourism officials like to promote it, in contrast to Bali or Thailand, as a safe haven from terrorist attacks. The country, located on the Pacific Ocean side of Asia, was also unaffected by the December tsunami disaster in the Indian Ocean. Don't be deterred by reports of bird flu either: It is largely limited to rural areas and farms.
The resumption of the first direct flights from the U.S. to Vietnam since the war is making it easier for Americans to get there. The daily B-747, originating at Washington Dulles International Airport and passing through San Francisco and Hong Kong to Ho Chi Minh City, has been so popular since its Dec. 9 launch that discount round-trip economy fares in the $1,000-to-$1,200 range have been selling out quickly. American Airlines (AMR ) and Continental (CAL ) plan to follow suit.
Although many Americans are drawn to Vietnam because of their interest in the war, the country has a rich and varied culture. A good way to sample all the facets is to start in the former capital of South Vietnam and work north. Ho Chi Minh City is the commercial center of the country, sort of the New York of Vietnam, compared with the capital city of Hanoi, which is akin to Washington.
Those in search of war history will find it in places such as the Rex Hotel. What was its rooftop U.S. Officers' Club in the 1960s and '70s is now a restaurant and bar offering fine views of the city. Also on the must-do list is a guided tour of the Cu Chi tunnels, where the Viet Cong built an extensive underground network. At the War Remnants Museum, formerly the Museum of American War Crimes until Vietnam and the U.S. normalized relations in 1995, captured American Huey helicopters sit forlornly outside, and jars of preserved fetuses deformed by Agent Orange are on display inside. It's a sobering but worthwhile trip for those who want to understand the Vietnamese perspective.
The province of Tay Ninh, a day trip northwest by tour bus from Ho Chi Minh City, is home to the Cao Dai religion, which reveres as saints Jesus Christ, Buddha, Victor Hugo, and Joan of Arc, among others. Its cathedral, with its all-seeing eye similar to that on a dollar bill, draws hundreds of worshippers each week. Southern Vietnam also offers Mekong River excursions, where tourists can see floating markets and visit villages that make baskets and lacquerware.
A short $49 flight from Ho Chi Minh City takes you to Danang, close to the gorgeous China Beach made famous in Apocalypse Now and the 1990s TV series. The number of Americans staying at the five-star Furama Resort Danang has gone from a handful of mostly Vietnam vets five years ago to about a third of its 83,000 guests in 2004, says manager Paul Stoll. From the hotel grounds, you can see the former U.S. military base, with its crumbling cement walls and lookout towers. The USO China Beach, a stage area to entertain troops, was a couple hundred yards north.
Danang is a convenient point from which to hire a driver and explore the UNESCO-designated World Heritage Road. It goes through the Marble Mountains, the five hillocks that were the scene of heavy fighting during the war; Hoi An, an ancient port founded by seafaring Portuguese, where century-old Chinese traders' houses have been converted to hotels and where oil painters' studios abound on the narrow streets; and Hue, the ancient imperial capital graced with emperors' palaces and tombs. Danang boasts coral reefs for scuba diving and deep-sea fishing, as do the more southern beach resorts of Nha Trang.
The capital, Hanoi, two hours by plane from Ho Chi Minh City and an hour and 15 minutes from Danang, is one of the most European cities in Asia. That's partly the result of the colonial-style buildings dating back to the 1920s and '30s, when Vietnam was a French colony. Hanoi is filled with tranquil lakes and greenery that stand in serene contrast to the city's roaring motorbike traffic. The Old Quarter, north and west of Hoan Kiem Lake (Lake of the Restored Sword), has richly atmospheric streets lined with shops selling crafts, silk clothing, silver jewelry, and art. You can bargain down prices by as much as 30%.
Hanoi also has become a draw for foodies. In addition to the traditional light, healthy fare at restaurants such as Emperor and Wild Rice, the city offers chef Bobby Chinn's hip nouveau eatery at the foot of Hoan Kiem Lake, featuring his fabulous fusion cuisine. His menu includes blackened barramundi on braised banana blossoms. Even his meals, among the more expensive in Vietnam, cost less than $50 for two.
If you're interested in Vietnam's geographic and ethnic diversity, go to Sapa, home of the Montagnard minority peoples living on the mountainous border with Laos. An overnight train ride from Hanoi, Sapa is largely rural. The hill tribes, which include the Tay and H'mong, wear colorful clothing and silver buttons and jewelry, which they hawk to tourists.
Excursions outside Hanoi should also include Halong Bay, with its rock formations, coves, cliffs, caves, and lagoons plied by wooden fishing vessels along the Gulf of Tonkin. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Ha Long means "dragon in the sea."
With so much to see and with flying there getting easier for Americans, the saying about Vietnam, that "it's not a war, it's a country," rings truer than ever.

How to access notebook name counter?
When a new notebook is created, it gets the name Untitled-xx, where xx
is a number. Is there a way to create a new notebook programmatically
and avoid incrementing this number?
CreateDocument[{}, WindowTitle -> "something"] increments it, even
though a name is explicitly set.
Alternatively, is there a way to access this counter, and decrement it?
Motivation: I was looking for a way to rasterize the selection in the
notebook from a palette button. My current solution involves creating a
new notebook, and copying the selection to it. Please see here:
I'd prefer not ending up with Untitled-bignumber just because I use this
many times.

Know of any good cams?
Hey all,
I am in the process of hunting for cams for my turbo engine rebuild and thought I would see if any of you want to take a stab at the selection. If you dont know combo is as follows:
S-10 truck, 3000lb
9 inch, 3:50 gears
TH350, 10 inch converter - 3500-4000 RPM stall
SBC 400 (.040 over)
23cc dish pistons
6" rods
Dart Pro1 heads, 230cc intake, 72cc chambers, 110# springs(dont want to change)
Edelbrock Proflo hardware(Victor Jr.)
Large frame Garrett turbo, 76mm inducer
This truck is primarily for the track so power potential is the ultimate goal. I need to be able to keep around 12 inches of vacuum to be able to tune idle. The turbo I am running is pretty large so reversion is not as much an issue as with smaller turbos.
I want to stay around .500-.525 lift. I also dont want to spend the money for a roller conversion. Hydraulic or mechanical flat tappet is what I am looking for.
I have picked two crane cams in the range I am looking at:

Advertised Exhaust Duration 298
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.500
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.520
Lobe Separation (degrees) 114
Intake Valve Lash (in) 0.022

Let me know what you think and if you have any other cams in mind that might work well.
May I suggest giving Engle Racing cams a call? (talk to Mark Engle) That is who ground the cam for my blowm engine. They are great and will cater to your requests/needs. They have experience with boost. I went with a solid flat tappet and it does EXACTLY what I asked for. I could not be happier. They had a very fast turn around and the price wasn't bad at all. This way you get what you want and are not limited to something "close".
Thanks Royce. I will get in touch with them and see what they think. What kind of prices are we talking for something like that?
With all the money you have spent already Turbo, why are you against going with a solid roller? I would think that would be the finishing touch to an engine like yours.
My main hangup with the roller is the money. I know it is better, but it is just alot of money to spend. I bet you would be surprised how little I have in my engine. I am ready to get it back together and decided to go with the big Dart heads over a roller cam. I just cant afford to do it all right now. I am ready to race this thing. I dont need the size that the roller cam affords with my engine. I can get all the cam I need in a flat tappet. Those heads will put 100HP or more in my engine at low boost level and much more in high boost levels. A roller cam might get me 30HP and the cost is about the same.
Short and sweet: I am a cheapa$$
I know what you mean. It is hard to convince the wife to let another big purchase by.
Sorry for the delay, I was out and about. I dug up my invoice. My total was $271.96 for cam and lifters. I had to pay tax which you won't (that's $20), shipping was $10 so the actual cam and lifters were ~$240. Mine was ground on a p-55 core (doesn't mean much to me but, it's supposed to be good) and "race" solid lifters.
I dealt directly with them, if they have a dealer in your area you may or may not be able to save a couple bucks.
Personally I think you are making the right choice staying away from the solid roller, if you plan on driving it on the street. I learned a VERY expensive lesson doing that. While you can make them live in order to do it right it is even more expensive than the basic solid roller/lifter kits you see advertised for ~$500. For your RPM level and lift level, there really is no need to run a solid roller. I doubt it would by you anything really.
Here are my cam specs, just so you have an idea of what we (me and Engle) decided on.
adv. duration 288/292, duration @.050 248/257, 112 lobe centers, .530/.534 lift, .018/.020 lash
I also run 1.6 rockers so my actual lift is .554/.570.
I am sure you will want something a little different for your turbo. With my blower, it is absolutely perfect for what I wanted. It makes power from idle on up I never took it to the point it stopped pulling so I don't know how high it will rev (I have seen ~6800 so far).
They will ask you for details which I am sure you already have and they will ask what you want from this cam. That's why I really liked dealing with them, they didn't tell me what to buy, they made a suggestion based on what I was asking for. They hit the nail on the head, I even wrote them telling them how pleased I am. It was well worth the extra few bucks. There really aren't many off the shelf cams to choose from for boosted applications. Please let me know how it goes when you call them, I would be interested in seeing what they suggest and what you guys settle on.
Turbo .Did you like your heads? last time we talked they were in transit.....Did you get them From Yodders on Ebay? I love mine I thought they were a great buy at 925.00 assembled.
Thanks Royce. I will give them an email. They are going to have to do some selling to get me past that $280 price tag. If you look, yours is strikingly close to the second crane I found. I am curious what they suggest on the exhuast side for my engine.....
67 Duece. I have not got the heads in my hands yet. I am eagarly waiting. I am glad to hear yours are what you ordered and you are happy. I cant wait to get my hands on those bad boys.
I don't feel you'll need anything with that much duration to make good power. Something in the 220 range and .525 lift range should work the best. Some of the turbo Pro 5.0 cars don't run that much duration and make 1500HP +.
I did notice that the cams you listed weren't to far off from what I have. Your price should be closer to $240, you are out of state. The sales tax here are high. I know what you mean though you can get an off the shelf cam for about half that. Just thought I would share my experience.
As far as the duration, I think it really depends on yuor goals. Kind of hard to compare a street engine to a 1500HP engine. I am sure they have VERY efficient heads and huge turbos. In that case they don't really need as much duration. I bet they have pretty high lift and very aggressive ramps (solid roller) and you can't get that with a flat tappet cam. I am not a turbo guy so I don't know all the ins and outs. In my case power comes on from idle on up, I can't even imagine have more low end torque. Now a turbo may be a different story.
Please post back with what you decide. It would be interesting to see what they suggest.
Cstraub, I know what you mean, and I have read some things that suggest that as well. However, I know of quiet a few guys running 240 to 250 range cams with good results. From what I have seen anyone wanting to make real power is running a good deal of duration. This guy is a good example : http://www.montygwilliams.com/. He is running over 250 duration and alot of lift. Most of the 5.0 guys are cranking around 8000 RPM to get those numbers. I guess with the small cubes and alot of boost it works without the large cam. I would be curious of any references you have for some reading material.
Royce, I appreciate the input and will post what I decide to do. I have not ruled anything out. I am on the road this week so I dont really have time during the day to call. Maybe Friday....
Peak numbers or dyno queens are not impressive to me. You have moderate CID and a lower rpm to run. By increasing duration all you will do is narrow the useable powerband and slide it up the scale to the upper rpm range. This would be fine if you had a light car and Lenco.
You can make better useable power with a smaller shaft. I know, my customers do it everyday.
Okay, point taken. Do you have any engine specs/combos or products to look at? I would love to see some information. I am going by what I have seen so far.
I don't. All my stuff is one off for engine builders. Performance in a Brown Box. I will do this, e-mail me the specifics of the engine and if you can send me a link on the heads to what Dart says they are flowing, I will point you in the right direction.

Mohammed Al-Qeeq: A Casualty Of Israel's War On Journalists
UNITED NATIONS — As a Palestinian journalist nears his third month of an indefinite hunger strike, supporters say his administrative detention – incarceration by order of the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank, without defined charges or a legal process – reflects broader Israeli attempts to impede reporting by Palestinians.
"Mohammed al-Qeeq, like many before him, is being silenced by administrative detention measures in order to quell the Palestinian narrative," Abbas Hamideh, director of the Global Campaign for Palestinian Political Prisoners, told MintPress News.
"Journalists have a powerful voice with the outside world via social media," Hamideh said. "This, in particular, Israel tries to crush."
Al-Qeeq, a 33-year-old husband and father of two children, was captured by Israeli forces inside his Ramallah home at 2:00 a.m. on Nov. 21.
"A large number of Israeli occupation forces raided Mohammed's house, shackled him, blindfolded his eyes and took him to Beit El settlement near Ramallah," the Ramallah-based Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association said in an online profile of al-Qeeq.
MOHAMMAD AL-QEIQ | Addameer
"Mohammad was left there for 20 hours in the open air."
Israeli forces had detained al-Qeeq three times before, once holding him for 16 months over charges stemming from his student activism at Birzeit University.
On Nov. 25, he launched a hunger strike to protest Israeli interrogation practices his supporters describe as torture.
"The interrogation sessions lasted for seven hours a day," Addameer reports. "He was forced to sit in stress positions on the interrogation chair with his hands shackled behind his back."
After transferring him to an isolation cell at Megiddo Prison, Israeli forces issued him a six-month administrative detention order authorizing his continued imprisonment.
These orders can be renewed indefinitely, often with little notice before a detainee's scheduled release.
In isolation, al-Qeeq continued his hunger strike, now to demand his freedom.
'We know how to stop you'
Like 660 other administrative detainees held by Israel at the end of December, al-Qeeq has no access to the charges against him, which are kept in classified files by Israeli forces.
Israel's broad use of administrative detention against Palestinians has drawn wide scrutiny and harsh criticism from global agencies like Amnesty International, the European Union, Human Rights Watch and the United Nations Human Rights Office.
Critics note that many administrative detainees have been activists, community leaders and journalists like al-Qeeq, seemingly imprisoned to prevent them from speaking publicly and engaging in other political activities.
"Administrative detention is used by the Israeli occupation as a weapon against the emerging leaders and political voices of the Palestinian people under occupation," Charlotte Kates, international coordinator of Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, told MintPress.
"Time and again, we see youth organizers, activists in the refugee camps, journalists, teachers, swept up and targeted under administrative detention, often repeatedly," she said. "It is very directly a method of repression aimed at suppressing Palestinian political organizing and activism."
Israel has issued administrative detention orders to dozens of members of the Palestinian Legislative Council, at one point holding 37 of them to prevent the seating of an elected government.
At other times, it has used them to weaken the meager protections afforded to West Bank Palestinians who, unlike Jewish settlers, face its military courts, which boast a 99.74 percent conviction rate.
International pressure forced Israel to limit its administrative detention of Palestinian feminist and PLC member Khalida Jarrar, instead placing her on military trial. When a judge threatened to release Jarrar due to lack of evidence, a prosecutor warned that the military would simply renew her administrative detention order, continuing her imprisonment without even the pretense of justice.
Jarrar, whose charges stemmed from political activities like speaking to journalists and visiting released Palestinian prisoners, ultimately accepted a 15-month plea agreement, with a suspended sentence of 12 additional months and a $2,600 fine, on Dec. 6.
Administrative detention orders have also frequently targeted journalists like Amin Abu Wardeh and Nidal Abu Aker, with many facing repeated detentions over their careers.
Others have been charged under Israel's West Bank system of military laws and regulations that criminalize every Palestinian political faction, many of which have affiliated media.
The overall number of Palestinian journalists in Israeli detention currently stands at 17, according to a report issued Wednesday by the Palestine Office of the Islamic Radio and Television Union.
"Israel is sending a message to all Palestinian journalists," Yousef Aljamal, a researcher at the Gaza-based Center for Political and Development Studies, told MintPress. "If you speak up, we know how to stop you. We don't have to charge you. Administrative detention is there."
'A form of torture'
Beyond imprisoning large numbers of Palestinian journalists, Israeli forces have at times attacked them ruthlessly, making theirs one of the world's most dangerous professions.
During its 2014 offensive against the Gaza Strip alone, Israel killed seven journalists, six of them Palestinians, and a media worker on the job.
Another eight journalists died in the bombardment, mostly from strikes on their homes.
The grisly toll made Palestine the world's second-deadliest country for journalists that year.
Israeli raids and closures of Palestinian media still occur frequently, often accompanied by claims of journalistic "incitement" against the occupation, and reporters face regular injuries from Israeli fire.
Last year, 574 attacks resulted in around 190 injuries to journalists, as well as the deaths of two cameramen, while Israeli forces closed or threatened to close 21 Palestinian media agencies.
"The best treatment they might get from Israel is being tear-gassed," Aljamal said. "The worst treatment is shooting them to death."
Meanwhile, al-Qeeq's hunger strike, during which he has reportedly refused even routine supplements like salt while drinking only small amounts of water, had reached its 57th day as of Wednesday.
Palestinian and Israeli attorneys who were able to visit him at HaEmek Hospital in Afula on Monday reported that medical personnel had resorted to gruesome measures to counter its effects.
Tel Aviv-based Physicians for Human Rights – Israel reported that the hunger striker was "hooked up against his will to an infusion of salts and vitamins, and blood was taken with the permission of the hospital's ethics committee."
"Al-Qeeq was tied to the bed and forcefully held down by prison wardens while a member of the medical staff made the infusion," the group said in a statement. "For four days al-Qeeq remained tied to the bed, hooked up to the IV drip, while pleading for its removal, to no avail."
Addameer confirmed the report, adding that "some of the doctors pushed him to end his hunger strike, through attempting to convince him to consume Ensure, milk, and chocolate, but he refused."
Both groups criticized this forcible treatment, calling it a breach of medical ethics.
Despite Israel's apparent eagerness to keep al-Qeeq alive, its Supreme Court delayed a hearing on his detention Tuesday, postponing it until Feb. 25.
Also on Tuesday, al-Qeeq's wife, Fayha Shalash, told supporters gathered in Beirut that he was determined to continue his hunger strike until release or death.
Supporters think the nature of al-Qeeq's detention leaves him with little to lose, his brutal treatment notwithstanding.
"Being imprisoned indefinitely without charges is a form of torture," Hamideh, of the Global Campaign for Palestinian Political Prisoners, said. "The occupying entity of Israel has no rules that it follows when imprisoning Palestinians."

There is probably no hotel that sums up British luxury better than The Dorchester. The Ritz has glitz but it's a French import. Claridges sometimes seems a holiday home for dispossessed European royalty.
The Dorchester, however, is quirky, eclectic and very British. Having passed by many times, but only ever gone in for tea, I know exactly how the ballot winners will be feeling on 14 September. That is when the names of all those applying to join the hotel's Open House tour, a fortnight from today, will be placed in the doorman's hat and 20 names will be pulled out.
The Dorchester sits like a section of some 1930s luxury liner plonked down on Park Lane: no two bedrooms are the same; Highland warriors, clad in tartan, are stencilled on to the walls of The Grill; the Orchid Room was decorated by one of the Queen Mother's designers to look like a giant piece of blue Wedgwood.
Despite it's old-world appeal to foreign tourists, almost half the hotel's custom is from the UK. They arrive by Tube or pull up in mud-spattered Range Rovers. Prince Philip spent the night here before his wedding to the then Princess Elizabeth in 1947. You can't get more British than that.
I arrive early for my preview of the behind-the-scenes tour. Not only will the Open London weekend winners get access to some of the best suites, they'll also see a slice of the hotel's life beyond the green baize door. My host is Rosanna Crawley, who arranged The Dorchester's involvement in London's big open day.
Together we poke our heads into the laundry room where guests' shirts are washed, pressed, then boxed in cardboard and cellophane so slickly that you could set up a stall and sell them. We also chat to three of the hotel's flower ladies, Wendy, Mandy and Izumi, all handmaidens to the head florist, Belinda Bowles. They seem very happy in their small workshop on the second floor but then, if you like flowers, there's a lot of job satisfaction to be had at The Dorchester. Even on a quiet day they process about £1,500 worth of blooms, rising to £30,000 for big functions.
In the kitchens – the biggest in Europe – we miss Claude Lamarche, the pastry chef who isn't in until later, but I do get to see the special, extra-long Dorchester loaves arriving ready-sliced. It is from these that Bernie, the Sandwich King, creates more than 2,000 rounds a day.
As we emerge, our way is briefly barred by the powerful figure of Henry Brosi, the Dorchester's executive chef from Heilbronn-Sontheim in Germany. At the moment he oversees more than 100 colleagues producing food in six different kitchens. Henry tells me that on 20 September he will be demonstrating his new project, the refurbished Krug Room, an exclusive dining chamber that seats 12 and is situated inside the kitchens behind electrochromic glass which, at the touch of a button, Henry can make opaque, for privacy, or clear again when he thinks you will want to watch the food being prepared. Dishes in this room will be designed to complement the hotel's collection of wines and Krug Champagne. "We can arrange pretty much every vintage," Rosanna tells me.
Of course they can.
Now it's time to see the public areas. I can tell that my host is enjoying this as much as I am. Rosanna is young but she feels, in her line of work, there's nowhere to go after The Dorchester. "Nothing's going to better this," she tells me as we take a lift up to the eighth floor. Together we slip through an unremarkable panelled door and up a flight of steep, carpeted stairs to the Harlequin Suite, revamped by top New York designer Alexandra Champalimaud. This is the most expensive of the three suites added in the 1960s. Elizabeth Taylor always stayed here and the hotel installed a pink marble bathroom just for her. It's been preserved exactly as it was on the day that she signed Hollywood's first $1m contract, given for her role in Cleopatra. Actually, it's more functional and less well finished than you'd expect. We forget how close to post-war austerity the early Sixties were.
The Harlequin Suite costs a cool £7,450 per night, and that's without VAT. It's difficult to imagine the kind of income someone needs in order to blow that amount of money on one night in a hotel, although I know that the likes of Nicole Kidman and Arnold Schwarzenegger may well have done so. No expense has been spared on the decor – American walnut floors, gold curtains from Thailand, walls upholstered in ivory silk – but I can't help feeling that for that amount of money I'd want Arnie and Nicole to be sharing it with me, and for them to tell me afterwards that I was their best friend ever.
As Rosanna opens the door to the suite's kitchen, we come face to face with Miguel Rodriguez-Silva, one of three butlers assigned to these suites under the guidance of Paul Pritchard, head butler and late of the Royal Household. Miguel is all smiles as if he is delighted rather than surprised to see us. He has just prepared coffee for the new arrivals who will be up shortly, but there's absolutely no sense of rush. He is happy for us to wander out on to the terrace, which has a superb view of Hyde Park. Apparently Alfred Hitchcock, looking at this view, declared The Dorchester a perfect place for a murder because there was so much space opposite for burying the body.
Rosanna points out the terrace of the Audley Suite next door where a white marquee has been pitched. Evidently the star who is staying there (I know she'll never disclose his name) wished to watch TV out of doors but found the glare on the screen too bright. I think most hotels would suggest that Sir might find it easier to watch TV back in his room, but not The Dorchester. This is the hotel that recently let a well-known American singer redesign his suite so it resembled a cabaret where he could entertain friends every night after the curtain came down on his West End show.
On our way down we call in at The Penthouse and Pavilion, a suite of rooms by Oliver Messel, Britain's most celebrated theatrical designer in the 1950s. The suite has its own terrace with a Rococo fountain, and is very popular for weddings. The rooms take Messel's own sets for The Magic Flute and Sleeping Beauty as their inspiration; glass-panelled walls are overgrown with plaster vines. It's extremely theatrical and rather overwhelming. More to my own taste is the Messel Suite on the seventh floor for which the brief was simply a set of rooms that Messel himself would like to live in. He wasn't the only one. Noel Coward and Marlene Dietrich always stipulated this suite whenever they stayed and, in recent years, that grand old thespian Sylvester Stallone has followed suit. The lavatory seat is shaped like a giant scallop shell, covered in gold leaf. It's difficult not to imagine Sly's muscular bottom framed by that.
Rosanna has more in store as we return downstairs. The Byford Room is a remarkable oak-panelled salon that pre-dates the hotel's construction by more than a century. The Dorchester was created by the McAlpine and Gordon families in 1931 and was developed on top of and around Dorchester House, one of the early 19th-century palatial homes that lined Hyde Park. Rather than demolish the entire building, the architects built around several rooms. This is the only one remaining. Stepping inside is an extraordinary moment, like a time- travel fantasy, as I cross the threshold and two centuries.
Rosanna is keen to show me the latest additions to the hotel. Off the Promenade, the long corridor strewn with sofas, aspidistras and pianos that runs the length of the hotel, lies the new two-Michelin star Alain Ducasse restaurant. Its oval private dining area is curtained off by thousands of strands of illuminated white beads; flowers are banned from all the tables at Ducasse's request.
Beyond that, the duplex Crystal Suite is still being refurbished in time for 20 September. All I can see today is a glittering piano covered in mirrored mosaic tiles, one of two that used to belong to Liberace. "I bet you can guess who owns the other one," Rosanna prompts. And I'm right. It's Sir Elton. Martin Hulbert, the designer of the new Crystal Suite is on site today and we discuss the staircase that winds up from the piano to the first floor. "Wonderful for making an entrance," says Martin and, again, we're all thinking Elton.
The last stop on my tour is below ground level. The new Dorchester spa is also Martin's work. Its style is cool, with clean lines and polished chrome doors. Again, it reminds me of a 1930s liner. "That's very much been the inspiration," Martin agrees, "though we've not been slavish. We wanted to avoid something that looked like a sequence of treatment rooms."
Finally it's time for lunch, which I'm offered in the spa's intimate six-table restaurant. "We call it a spatisserie," says Rosanna. "As far as we know, this is the first spatisserie in the world." I wouldn't be surprised. Just about everything at The Dorchester is different. So why shouldn't this unique hotel add a new word to the Oxford English Dictionary?

Submissions will be ineligible for review if previously published in any form (print or online) other than as an abstract. This includes any public posting of raw manuscripts or pre-reviewed material.
Manuscript Preparation: Manuscripts should be prepared in the style of the Journal and in accordance with "The Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (see http://www.icmje.org). Standard abbreviations can be found in the CSE Style Manual (7th ed., 2006). Type the manuscript on white bond paper, 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 inches) or ISO A4 (212 x 297 mm), with margins of at least 25 mm (1 inch). Use double spacing throughout including title page, abstracts, text, acknowledgments, references, tables, and legends for illustrations. Begin each of the following sections on separate pages: title page, abstract and key words, text, acknowledgments, references, individual tables, and legends. Number pages consecutively beginning with the title page. Manuscripts not prepared in accordance with the submission guidelines detailed below will be returned to the authors without review.
Title Page:The title page should carry 1) the full title and a suggested short title of the article (up to 54 characters); 2) the name by which each author is known and institutional affiliation; 3) the name of the department(s) and institution(s) to which the work should be attributed; 4) name, address and e-mail id of author responsible for correspondence about the manuscripts, bearing (*) on his surname; 5) e-mail ids of all coauthors which will be used to get their individual confirmation of agreement and approval of the submitted manuscript; the response to such mail will be mandatory by all co-authors, and only after receiving the confirmation from all authors, the manuscript will be considered for further processing. This step has been incorporated only to eliminate any misunderstanding and conflict among the authors about the manuscript. 6) disclaimers, if any; 7) source(s) of support in the form of grants, equipment, drugs or all of these; 8) an accurate word count of the text from the start of the introduction to the end of the discussion; and 9) a conflict of interest statement.
Abstract: The second page should carry an abstract, in prose form (not structured), of up to 250 words. The abstract should state the purposes of the study or investigation, the basic procedures, the main findings and the principal conclusions. It should emphasize new and important aspects of the study or observations. It should be understandable without reference to the rest of the paper and should contain no citation to other published work. Do not include references in abstract.
Key Words: Below the abstract authors should provide and identify as such 3 to 10 key words or short phrases to assist indexing the article and that may be published with the abstract. At least 3 of the keywords should refer to the anatomical site, disease and techniques used in the study. Key words must be arranged alphabetically.
Main Text: The text of observational and experimental articles is usually divided into sections with the headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Acknowledgments (in this order) that need not begin on new pages. Commonly-abbreviated terms should be spelled out in their first appearance and then may be referenced in abbreviation through the remainder of the manuscript.
Introduction: State the purpose of the article and summarize the rationale for the study or observation. Give only strictly pertinent references and do not review the subject extensively. Do not include data or conclusions from the work being reported.
Materials and Methods: Describe your selection of the observational or experimental subjects (animals, birds or laboratory animals, including controls) clearly. Identify the age, sex and other important characteristics of the subjects where appropriate. As the relevance of such variables as age, sex and ethnicity to the object of research is not always clear, authors should explicitly justify them when they are included in a study report. The guiding principle should be the clarity about how and why a study was performed in a particular way. The authors should describe experimental and statistical methods in enough detail that other researchers can replicate results and evaluate claims. Give references to established methods, including statistical methods (see below); provide references and brief descriptions for methods that have been published but are not well known; describe new or substantially modified methods, give reasons for using them and evaluate their limitations. Identify precisely all drugs and chemicals used, including generic name(s), dose(s) and route(s) of administration. The sequences of oligonucleotides, if not previously published, should be provided. Novel DNA or protein sequences should be deposited to an appropriate database (eg, Genbank, EMBL, SWISS-PROT), with the accession numbers included in the manuscript. When providing supplier information for materials sources, company name and location (city and state, or city and country) should be provided.
Results: Present your results in logical sequence in the text, tables and illustrations. Do not repeat in the text all the data in the tables or illustrations; emphasize or summarize only important observations.
Discussion: Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions that follow from them. Do not repeat the data or other details given in the Introduction or the Results section. Include in the Discussion section the implications of the findings and their limitations, including implications for future research. Relate the observations to other relevant studies.
Link the conclusions with the goals of the study but avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by the data. In particular, authors should avoid making statements on economic benefits and costs unless their manuscript includes economic data and analyses. Avoid claiming priority and alluding to work that has not been completed. State new hypotheses when warranted, but clearly label them as such. Recommendations, when appropriate, may be included. References to unpublished data should not be included.
Acknowledgements: List all contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship, such as a person who provided purely technical help, writing assistance or a department chair who provided only general support. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged.
References: References should begin on a new page, be double-spaced and numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text (not in alphabetic order), including citations in tables and figure legends. Identify references in text, tables and legends by superscripted Arabic numerals. Complete author citation is required (use of "et al" is not acceptable). All references should be complete and accurate. Avoid using abstracts as references. References to papers accepted but not yet published should be designated as 'in press'. Avoid using unpublished observations and information from manuscripts submitted but not accepted. Avoid citing a 'personal communication' unless it provides essential information not available from a public source, in which case the name of the person and date of communication should be cited in parentheses in the text.
The Uniform Requirements style for references is based largely on an American National Standards Institute style adapted by the NLM for its databases. Authors should consult NLM's Citing Medicine for information on its recommended formats for a variety of reference types. The titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the style used in the list of Journals Indexed for MEDLINE, posted by the NLM on the Library's Web site. Articles published online but not yet assigned to an issue may be cited using the DOI. Online citations should include the date of access.
Some examples of correct forms of references are given below:

Tables: Type each table on a separate page at the end of the main document. Do not submit tables as photographs. Number tables consecutively in the order of their first citation in the text and supply a brief and self explanatory title for each. Give each column a short or abbreviated heading. Place explanatory matter in footnotes, not in the heading. Explain in footnotes all non-standard abbreviations that are used in each table. Identify statistical measures of variations, such as standard deviation and standard error of the mean. Do not use internal horizontal and vertical rules. Be sure that each table is cited in the text. If you use data from another published source, obtain permission and acknowledge fully.
Illustrations (Figures): Figures should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they have been first cited in the text. If a figure has been published, acknowledge the original source. If the manuscript is accepted for publication, written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the material will have to be supplied. If photographs of people are used, either the subjects must not be identifiable or their pictures must be accompanied by written permission to use the photograph.
Figures should be professionally drawn, photographed and digitized; freehand or typewritten lettering is unacceptable. Letters, numbers and symbols should be clear and even throughout and of sufficient size that when reduced for publication each item should still be legible. Titles and detailed explanations for illustrations should be given in the legends, not on the illustrations themselves.
Figure Format: Authors should give considerable care in preparing figures. Figures may consist of multiple related panels (labeled A, B, C, etc.) described under one figure legend. Each figure (with all of its related panels) should be arranged on a single page as it should appear in final publication. Figure panels submitted on separate pages will be arranged at the publisher's discretion. If figures are to be published in black and white, they should be submitted for review in black and white. Digital figure files are required. Figures should be of good resolution in preferably JPEG or TIFF format and at the same time it should not be of very high pixel size, making the file too large to send by e-mail. All illustrations must be supplied at the correct resolution: a). Black and white and colour photos – 300 dpi; b). Graphs, drawings, etc – 800 dpi preferred; 600 dpi minimum; and c). Combinations of photos and drawings (black and white and colour) – 500 dpi. Authors should be careful to check that their colour images (especially fluorescence) will reproduce faithfully in CMYK print before submission. Avoid layering type directly over shaded or textured areas. We recommend that authors check the quality of their figures prior to submission using Sheridan's Digital Expert tool http://dx.sheridan.com/index.html.
Legends for Illustrations: Type legends for illustrations starting on a separate page with Arabic numerals corresponding to the illustrations. When symbols, arrows, numbers or letters are used to identify parts of the illustrations, identify and explain each one clearly in the legend. Indicate the method of stain and magnification of field for light micrographs. Internal scale markers are recommended for electron micrographs.
Page Charges: Publication charges for each article irrespective of photo plate (Colour/B&W) will be Rs. 2000/- only for Indian authors. The publication charges for foreign authors will be US $ 100/- only.
