Trials for self-driving cars and HGVs have started in the UK, but they have not been without controversy. With multiple fatalities having occurred with self-driving cars in the U.S. it is clear that we are still some way off a complete overhaul. Looking forward, however, it is important to consider how self-driving HGVs could impact on the haulier and supply industries. Here we question whether self-driving HGVs will lead to job losses.
There is no doubt that autonomous technology aims to take the human need out of driving. For those who drive for a living this is a worrying development and estimates state that between 1.7 – 3 million drivers in the UK could be left without a job. There are, however, a lot of hurdles in the way preventing this from happening.
One interesting development coming out of the tests on self-driving cars in America is that of culpability. With one fatality that occurred there is a blurred line because the car was driving autonomously and the pedestrian who was hit was jay-walking. At this point it is unclear who is to blame for the accident. In these situations both the law and motor trade insurance need to be completely recalibrated to allow for this new situation. Where the culpability resides will be very significant because no company owner will take responsibility for the actions of a fleet of autonomous HGVs and nor will the manufacturer. Unless the questions surrounding culpability and HGV insurance can be resolved, no changes will be possible.
Government proposals are also suggesting that a fleet of vehicles will not be allowed to simply run autonomously but must instead be guided. The idea is that a semi-autonomous lorry convoy could follow a lead lorry driver, who would hold responsibility for the decision making and the directional decisions made. This offers an opportunity for a smaller number of highly skilled drivers who would be responsible for leading the fleet safely. Again the HGV insurance policies and culpability will need to be resolved before any such programmes could be introduced.
There is a monumental shift towards automation of driving that is taking place, but we are still a long way off the loss of 3 million UK jobs. As a driver it is important to keep an eye on the storm and consider retraining to control the autonomous lorries when they do arrive.

Hi dudes + dudettes! While I'm excited to get right to this insanely decadent dip recipe, I wanted to fill ya in on a couple of updates going on with my little blog here.
I just know that over the past five and a half years that I've been writing this blog, my interests, hobbies + tastes have expanded well beyond the loaf. 😀 Also, some of my most reacted-to posts are non-food related – check the "life & musings" tab on the top right of the nav to see what I'm talking about.
I'm really lucky in that this blog has been a kind of stress-reliever for me in the midst of a chaotic world that I often find myself needing a break from. Developing a new recipe and taking the time to lovingly feed friends and my hubby has been such a great reminder that our connection to each other can be as easy as a laugh around the dinner table.
To grow that experience even further, I want to be able to write about my first garden wins + fails, our now-happening attempt at building a backyard patio ourselves, maybe even a vegan recipe here or there. 😮 Meatloaf will always have a sentimental place in my heart – remember why I chose this name in the first place? But I think I'm do for a little bit of a shake-up!
So with that said – I've been trying my damnedest to put my love of grilling/tacos/def leppard/meat/gardening/travelling/dinosaur-decor/& more into an all-encompassing name that I dig. It's harder than you think!
With that – let's hit this insane dip.
Cook the chorizo over medium-high heat until cooked through. Place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain some of the fat, set aside. Use the same pan that you just cooked the chorizo in to cook the onions and the red bell pepper, using a tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Cook over medium heat until the onions are just translucent, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Toss the cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar, monterey + chihuahua cheese into a bowl. Add the salt, pepper, red pepper, chorizo and veggies. Mix together well.
Place into a a 2.5 qt baking dish and bake for 45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Serve with tortilla chips – enjoy!
Wow! yourset your self a real challenge there! fitting dinosaur-decor, gardening, grilling, tacos and Def Leppard into a single blog name ….whew!
But on the whole I think you've more-or-less nailed it.
I love reading it, and this posting really hit me – Chorizo +four cheese dip…..what could be better? Just last week I managed to get hold of some chorizo (not easy in Beijing believe me) so this is on next weekend's menu for sure. Do you think burrata would travel by post? (silly question). Thanks for the yumminess.
Zai jian (goodbye) as we say here.

Good Cheer
Laurel and Hardy and Friends - Volume Nine (VHS) from Hal Roach Studios
Released June 1, 1999. The opening title for this copy is a freeze-frame of a home movie from Exclusive Movie Studios, Inc., in Chicago, entitled "Our Gang's Christmas." This is followed by a freeze-frame of the original opening title. There are no crew credits, and the first five inter-titles and the end title are freeze-framed. The remaining inter-titles are normal and much more numerous than on the copies listed below. The moment when the drunken Santa gives Dinah a taste of his booze is missing from this print. The picture quality is fairly poor. The print totals 21:40, with 20:31 of it original footage. Almost the entire original film is included.
The Our Gang Collection - Volume 2 (DVD) from Reelclassicdvd.com
Released Mar. 2007. This is comparable to the "Laurel and Hardy and Friends" version. The opening title is slowed down to remain on the screen longer, and one of the inter-titles is freeze-framed. The footage totals 21:52.
Our Gang Volume #5 (VHS) from Grapevine Video and also from The Picture Palace
This copy has an original opening title card, without crew credits, and some of the original inter-titles, but seems to be a Mischief Makers episode judging by the music. Also, the Grapevine VHS case indicates an alternate title of "Happy Holiday." The end title is remade and follows the Pathé rooster. The picture quality is fairly poor. The print totals 15:57, with 15:54 of it original footage. This version has appeared on numerous bootlegs.
Our Gang Silent Comedies Volume 10 (VHS) from Video Classics
This copy is identical to Grapevine's.
Our Gang Silent Comedies #2 (VHS) from Nostalgia Family Video

This is essentially the same as the Grapevine version.
The Christmas Classics Collection (5 DVD set) from Passport Video
This is a home movie print from Exclusive Movie Studios entitled "Our Gang's Christmas." This is only a small portion of the film and is taken from the last part. The picture quality is fairly good.

the locations:
Hal Roach Studios backlot
It appears that all of the outdoor footage was shot here, no doubt to accommodate all that fake snow.
13 days of shooting went into the making of this film. Over four weeks had passed since filming had finished for "One Wild Ride" (no. 45). The studio was closed for half of this period. There is some indication, however, that Charles Oelze spent the last week of closure working on "Good Cheer," presumably preparing it for its wintery motif. The studio reopened on Sep. 1st, and the 'start' date arrived on Sep. 3rd. Shooting continued until the 'finish' date of Sep. 18th. No shooting took place on Sep. 6th and 13th, which were both Sundays, nor on Sep. 7th, which was Labor Day. After this, nearly two weeks passed before the Our Gang unit began filming "Buried Treasure" (no. 47).
Judging by the breakdown of David Durand's salary during the making of this film, it seems likely that he didn't join the production until Sep. 9th.
Count this film among those that include a Krazy Kat doll. This is the toy that Joe picks up after the large pile of toys magically appears in front of the kids.

In the last article, we touched upon clearing and sharing the clutter in a family or couple. These tricks work for single people too! Here's a few simple tricks.
spills should always be dealt with immediately – have a few rags around in the busy rooms.
have a scrubber for the toilet that can be used any time there is a "mess" and it will not be a chore to keep it clean.
Remember keeping something clean and tidy is easier than getting it clean.
Come up with a contest & prize for your family (be creative) for tidying up and then share it in the comments or on Twitter.


In this case, from a few of the folk who showed up for the Hammett Flash Mob on April 2nd of this year — but doesn't the heavy red and green décor of The Ha-Ra Bar just shout out "Christmas!"? Standing left to right you have Ace Atkins, Christy Henry, ace San Francisco P.I. and pioneer Hammett researcher David Fechheimer, Vince Emery and Don, always ready to make a toast. He's not as ready to schedule Hammett walks during the rainy months after 32 years on the mean streets, although a couple of groups by appointment have ponied up some loot and are prepared to brave the elements. In short, no extra tours this month, but have fun doing something else.
Of course, if you have drifted into the burg in the middle of winter and still want to walk the walk, you can always slip a copy of the new Dashiell Hammett Tour book into your stocking. Tom Nolan, author of the big biography of Ross MacDonald, suggests as much in a Crime-for-Christmas roundup for the Wall Street Journal. Yeah, the perfect gift for any hardboiled fan. . . .
And of course it is almost 2010 and all those science fiction stories have begun to catch up with and trample us. Just in case The Book is dead or dying, any techno type can now get the tour book electronically — for Kindle, for the Sony Reader and related devices, and as a downloadable PDF. Don still prefers the book book, but there you go.
Don's pal in collecting Arkham House ephemerae, John Haefele (who was a cornerstone of info for the article on the ephemerae Don wrote for Firsts: The Book Collector's Magazine), is beginning to roll into the series of books and chapbooks he has planned on Arkham House founder August Derleth. If you are interested in Arkham, H. P. Lovecraft, the way literary reputations are made and related eldritch subjects, John's newest title is not to be missed. Don liked the manuscript so much he did a foreword especially for this limited edition. Get it before it is gone.
