A well-rounded entry.
By Automobile Magazine
Besides the two new engines, the 2013 Q5 gets some minor styling changes outside, including parallelogram-shaped LEDs in the headlights, a new grille, and LED taillights. Also, Audi's MMI navigation system is updated with 3G internet connectivity for Google Maps and local search functions...more
Audi's Q5 has been a huge hit, and it's not hard to understand why. It's more compelling than the larger Q7 and far more efficient, thanks to better packaging and considerably lighter weight (by more than 1000 pounds). Although it seats only five, the Q5 is plenty roomy without being ponderous—in fact, handling is one of its strong suits. An adaptive suspension allows sporty handling without the usual penalty of a kidney-pounding ride. This year, Audi made two major changes in the engine room. A turbocharged four-cylinder remains the base engine, but the underachieving 3.2-liter V-6 has been supplanted by a supercharged 3.0-liter that's superior all-around. Still more impressive is the new Hybrid, which combines the 2.0T with an electric motor. It tops the fuel economy of the already pretty economical 2.0T by 4 mpg in the city and 2 mpg on the highway. Unfortunately, the Hybrid is only available in the top-spec, pricey Prestige trim. But if your tastes already run toward that type of sybaritism, know that the Hybrid is utterly seamless and quite peppy—this is no Prius. The Hybrid is an extremely impressive first effort in this department from Audi. Fuel-economy mavens should also know, however, that a turbo-diesel Q5 is in the offing, but it won't reach our shores until the 2014 model year.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; and traction and stability control are standard. Rear side air bags; blind-spot monitoring; a rearview camera; and adaptive headlights are available.

Bad-ass fitness trainer, Jillian Michaels, appeared for one night only at the Palace Theatre in Columbus, Ohio on her second national 'Maximize Your Life' tour. But be prepared.

Last night I had the opportunity to attend the showing of the brand spankin' new office and residential spaces at 17Seventeen McKinney Ave., otherwise known as Park 17. IREM invited local property managers and other real estate types to attend the tour, sponsored by Knight Restoration and Precision Landscape Management.
17Seventeen McKinney is the first Dallas high-rise building to be pre-certified LEED Gold in core and shell. A pretty big deal in such a major city. The neighboring building, the Gables residential tower, is pursuing its LEED New Construction certification.
Tired of hearing about LEED? Better get used to it. But take heart, it's actually pretty cool. All incoming tenants to 17Seventeen will automatically meet more stringent water requirements of LEED v3 Commercial Interiors. And something else I learned is that the office building itself does not operate with a central chiller. Nope, each floor has its own self-contained HVAC unit (otherwise known as a SCUD). And 35% of power to the building is purchased from renewable resources.

Christmas carols herald the spirit of the holiday, and the Twelve days of Christmas does so in a unique way.
Better Business Bureau offers its own version, to remind consumers to take extra special care to avoid having the holiday ruined by fraud and theft.
BBB's 12 SCAMS OF CHRISTMAS
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
The scammers gave to me:
Twelve malware e-cards,
Eleven stranded grandkids,
Ten counterfeit gifts,
Nine pickpockets,
Eight stolen gift cards,
Seven fake coupons
Six Santa scammers,
Five fake charities,
Four bogus websites,
Three travel scams,
Two phony loves,
And a totally fictitious puppy.
Though this is a lighthearted way of illustrating some common scams at this time of year, the issues involved are serious and may have long term consequences.
Better Business Bureau offers a resolution for the New Year as well: that consumers and businesses have a safe and prosperous holiday season and 2014.

Reviews for Chai Tea Latte(40)
Sort By :
Fabulous! Better than Starbucks! I didn't have ground ginger, so I omitted it for 1/2 tsp allspice :)
I really enjoyed this, Chai is one of my favorites. I used vanilla extract instead of the creamer and it was fantastic. I personally like my coffeehouse drinks sweet so the brown sugar was just right for me but you may want to reduce it if you don't want it really sweet.
This tea is wonderful! A tad sweet so I don't pack the brown sugar. I use pure vanilla extract in place of the creamer because that's what I have on hand. Overall, a great recipe!
Great recipe! To @Johnsushi who is looking for suggestions on how to make this recipe stronger spice-wise... use the suggested spices in the recipe that you are currently omitting .
Using my powdered chai tea mix as a reference, I added 1/4 tsp each nutmeg, cloves and cardamom, in addition to the spices called for. I also added almost 1/4 tsp black pepper, as this is a known chai tea ingredient. My husband and I really enjoyed it. Quite similar to the Tazo concentrate that Starbucks uses (which we love). P.S. As one reviewer suggested, I opened the tea bags and poured out the tea. I used 3. Also, I added 2 extra Tbsp milk and about 1 Tbsp vanilla extract instead of the creamer. Yummy!

I love the case. I've dropped my phone alot and the case is near in destructible
(Posted on 8/7/13)
I received this case today. I got red for my white iPhone. It's looks amazing! I was a little sad that they didn't have an option for blue or purple but it look and feels amazing! Not too heavy but just right. Feels very durable. I have the original aluminum case with the screw on bottom. This doesn't cut out service or wifi like that one did. I ran many speed tests with and without wifi, case and no case. There is about only .3 MB lost with this case having the plastic bottom. I have no complaints there! The wristlet included feels amazing and with its rubber grip, I don't think you should have a problem with it coming undone and falling off your wrist. I have a zagg screen protector on so I can't say how the included one works but its obliviously as regular as can be. The magnet is a god send. Over all, it's $100. The price could be a little lower but hey, I think it's worth it!

Judge's attorney says rights lawsuit is flawed
By Nathan Baker
A request to dismiss a lawsuit against a Carter County judge claims the lawsuit was improperly filed and is too broad in its request, but the attorney representing the opposing side promised the legal action will go on.
Greeneville attorney Jeffrey Ward filed a motion for dismissal last week of the suit brought against Carter County General Sessions Court Judge John Walton by Acie Lee Justus, who claims Walton violated his rights and the rights of others by charging them with contempt of court and holding them without bond in the Carter County Jail for extended periods of time.
A complaint filed in January by Justus' attorneys, Casey A. Sears II and Don Spurrell, asks a chancery court judge to forbid Walton from using his powers of contempt to "violate the constitutional rights of individuals" in his court.
But Ward said the suit should be dismissed because Justus' attorney failed to submit a supporting affidavit, as required by state law, and that the lawsuit seeks relief for unnamed hypothetical individuals, something the chancery court is not authorized to grant.
Ward also writes that Justus claims a violation of his constitutional right to due process of the law, but that Justus was arraigned, granted a bond and has been scheduled for a hearing of the contempt charge in accordance with established legal procedures.
But Spurrell promised Tuesday that his client's case will not be dismissed, and said he is putting together the proper paperwork to keep it active.

.i walk into the garden at
3am, find death digging
his own grave in the middle
of my lawn, he says he's
dead to me now, he can
just feel it in his bones,
points at the mud and says
dirt is dirt
it can't pretend that it's
anything else,
oh and i found that peg you lost,
it was under the conifer,
climbs in covers himself and leaves
me standing alone
(keeps sending me postcards, i wish you were here)

understanding, you're too busy
trying to read all the text, but
i can go days without speaking
one word, got a habit of holding my
breath diving into my own mind
for hours, blue bottomless pool
river veins with the bones of a dream
drifting through, some stuck on the
banks all dried up and thirsty, this
shark tooth reminds me of you so i
press it in hard, still not one single
drop, a baby raccoon floats by with
no life but wide eyes, i know you'll
pray the horned god sends him
straight to the sea, drown him out

In the second round of volleyball playoffs Tuesday, Portola narrowly defeated East Nicolaus in five games, while Greenville and Chester were each eliminated.
Portola, seeded third in Division V, travels to Los Molinos tonight for a semifinal match. The winner will play for the section title Saturday in Red Bluff.
The Golden Eagles captured first place in conference with an undefeated record. FRC enters the playoffs this Tuesday, Nov. 23. Photo submitted
With two final wins against Siskiyous and Lassen last week, the Feather River College volleyball team completed its regular season with a 10-0 record and won the Golden Valley Conference championship.
"It's a very big deal," said FRC coach Sarah Ritchie. "After taking second place three years straight, it was our time. Going undefeated makes it even more worthwhile. This is the first time ever."
Defensive back Devonte Smith lays a big hit on an East Nicolaus runner a yard from the goal line to prevent a touchdown on a fourth-and-goal play in the first quarter.
With a 53-21 victory over East Nicolaus in the first round of the Division IV playoffs last Friday night, the Quincy Trojans are looking exceptionally strong going into this Friday's semifinal game against Modoc.
Quincy, seeded second, will host the third-seeded Modoc Braves, who are coming off a 38-12 playoff victory against Chester. Quincy and Modoc each sport 9-2 records.
A week ago we enjoyed a beautiful and warm Saturday. This time of year each day like that could be the last such day for many months.
There was only one thing for me to do. Load up the dog and head out fishing.
There is very little time left before stream fishing season closes for the year so I decided to skip the hot action offered by so many of our local lakes right now, and I headed for the Middle Fork of the Feather River.

The Light Blues boss guided the Glasgow giants to the Third Division title in May following what was at times a difficult season in Scottish football's bottom tier.
The current campaign has seen Rangers launch a more convincing assault on the lower divisions this time around with a commanding lead at the summit of Scottish League One.
The only blots on the copybook so far have been the League Cup exit to Forfar in August, before dropping their first points of the season against Stranraer on Boxing Day.
Much of the on-field action in recent months has played out against a backdrop of off-field uncertainty, as a bitter power struggle in the Ibrox boardroom was only brought to an end by this month's AGM.
Overall, McCoist has been satisfied with the last 12 months but insists Rangers must endeavour to ensure they remain on the right track as their journey back to the top of the Scottish game continues.
He said: "We have been delighted with the progress made and the transformation has been quite incredible.
"But it's going to have to be equally as incredible to keep going and move up the leagues.
"The performances this year, and the improvement from the start of the season on last year, has been pretty evident.
"We have been delighted but that will have to continue."
Reflecting on 2013, McCoist added: "We've had some lows in terms of some of the results here at Ibrox towards the end of last season, as well as the cup results.
"Highs would be winning the league and seeing the reaction from the players and the supporters.
"It was fantastic coming down the road from Montrose on the team bus when we won the league.
"In the last game of the season at home against Berwick, the supporters were unbelievable. They would certainly be the highs.
"As you would expect, there have been one or two lows during the year as well."
McCoist now wants to see Rangers end the year on a high with a win against Dunfermline on Monday.
As their closest rivals in the league, and a fellow full-time club in a largely part-time division, the Gers boss knows the visit to East End Park could represent one of their toughest challenges so far.
He said: "I would have to say that I thought Stranraer's levels of fitness were very good.
"I definitely think the fitness levels of the part-time teams are as high as they've ever been.
"That said, full-time training should tell.
"And Dunfermline were certainly as fit, if not fitter, than the majority of teams we have played in the league."

Houseplants come in all shapes and sizes, many with architecturally stunning foliage, and others with beautiful blooms in every colour. Apart from regular watering and feeding, most require little attention. This short guide deals with houseplants which need to be indoors all year.
Most houseplants require bright filtered light. Light levels decrease rapidly as plants are placed further back from the window. It is important to avoid sun through glass as this can scorch the leaves of tropical plants.
As light levels fall in the winter some plants may benefit from being moved to a lighter position such as nearer a window as long as the minimum required temperatures can be maintained.
Most houseplants thrive in warm rooms and even temperatures all year round.
During winter, move plants to rooms which are not overheated during the day, but maintain the required minimum temperatures. Avoid placing plants near open fires, radiators, in draughts, or on windowsills on frosty nights.
Tropical plants require a humid atmosphere. Mist plants daily, or, better, place on a tray of damp gravel, expanded clay granules (Hydroleca) or recycled lightweight aggregate (Hortag). Plants grouped together will create a humid micro-climate around their leaves.
After a year or two plants may need repotting to maintain healthy growth. Choose a clean pot, one or two sizes larger than the original pot. Make sure that existing compost is moist before repotting into a similar medium. Never repot unless the plant actually needs it. The best time is spring.
A multipurpose compost, houseplant compost or loam-based compost will be suitable for most indoor plants.
Pinch back shoots of young plants when in active growth to encourage branching. Trailing plants usually benefit from this treatment.
Most leafy, mature foliage plants need no pruning.
Many houseplants, with the exception of orchids and palms, can be renovated by cutting the old or damaged foliage back to base or by pruning to a healthy bud in spring. Water and feed well to aid recovery.
Depending on the plant, houseplants can be propagated by division in spring (after flowering), softwood, semi-ripe cutting or leaf cutting during the growing season or by seed.
Top houseplants for different conditions;
Sunny windowsill: Hibiscus rosa-sinensisFull filtered light: Justicia brandegeeana, Streptocarpus, Hoya carnosaMedium light: Dracaena, Ficus, Philodendron erubescens, Mostera deliciosaLow light: Aspidistra elatior, Philodendron scandens, Schefflera, Adiantum raddianum
Houseplants can suffer from a few pest and diseases such as aphids, red spider mite, mealy bug and scale insect.
Overwatering, fluctuating temperatures and draughty positions are the main causes of leaf browning and drop. If your plant starts to brown, or leaves start to drop, look at your watering regime, and check room temperatures and draughts. This is a common problem in winter in centrally heated homes.

I love veggies, and always figured that if I ate veggies they were kind of "free" (I guess from my weight watchers days)
I find veggies more staisfying than pasta or rice, generally. If I'm relaly hungry, can I skip the pasta and have more broccoli, zucchini, carrots, etc with my protein?
Exercising, eating right are hard. Being fat, out-of-shape and unhealthy is hard.
Pick your HARD!
O I'm glad you posted this! I am transitioning off of a very low carb high fat controlled calorie WOE. Also I am pretty much a paleo eater so I do NOT DO GRAINS. at all . (sadly corn is a grain but that is also a veg carb though not one that I eat)
Transitioning into BFL Way of Eating I am choosing ALL of my carbs from the veg options. I am using yams & cooke carrots and I also count peas as carbs. I microwave the yams and mash them with artiificial sweetener and cinnamon for me one serving size is about 3/4 of a cup (about the size of my fist)
Another favorite veg carb for me is canned pumpkin (plain organic cookecd canned pumpking from whole foods) I'll mix this with my cottage cheese and cinnamon for my protein carb combo or mix it with yogurt and cottage cheese (maxes a perfect BFL small meal)
I do 1/2 cup of cooked carrots or 1/2 a cup of peas. Mix that with my meat (lean ground beef or ground turkey ***). So far this new way of eating is putting my carbs up to about 100g per day still maybe low for BFL but I'm *almost* eating carbs with each small meal (still working up to this but making progress)
I am also dabbling into some fruit I go for low glycemic ones like melon or berries and do these with cottage cheese as my protein.
FOR ME I am choosing the vegetables listed in the book as CARBS
Vegetables listed as Vegetables are much lower carb count and I'm eating those twice a day.
I would look at the food list on the web site to check which carbs are starchy enough to be counted as such-
The reason that you need a carb and a protein every meal is because the carbs help to break down the protein. You will need some form of carbs with every meal.
Also, probably not a good idea to skip out on whole grains- they provide iron, vitamins and minerals, as well as aid digestion ( and breakdown of protein). You'll see a lot of people talk about oatmeal, whole-wheat breads, etc., because your body needs them- skipping out on them won't help you lose weight faster.
Just my opinion. Hope this helps.
"The joy of life is the fruit of discipline" -S. Randall
I don't believe that human beings should eat grain. Cavemen didn't. Just my opinion. There are plenty of vegetable options listed under carbs in the book.
Cavemen didn't eat grains and look what it got them. Where are the cave people now?
OK really just kidding.
Good point LOL. I guess I'd say look what grains have done for modern humans. I believe the first obese society was the egyptians. Also the first grain cultivators. Anyways its not important really. I'm just speaking up for the paleo community. BFL is TOTALLY possible for Paleo eaters which I think is awesome. The list of carb options in the book includes enough delicious vegetable/root options to choose from.

|Course design
|Integrated course design, by L. Dee Fink, is a model for designing a course that includes attention to components that are present in most all models of instructional design, e.g., learning goals, learning activities, methods of assessment, etc.; however, it goes beyond other models and is distinct from them in significant ways.
Integrated course design is an interactive model which emphasizes the need for the components to be aligned or integrated with each other, and shows how to achieve this. It is capable of showing where several major ideas on good teaching (e.g. active learning, educative assessment, teaching strategies) fit into the overall design of courses, and offers specific criteria for determining whether individual components and the whole course have been designed well or not.
The model of integrated course design is contained in the "Self-Directed Guide to Designing Courses for Significant Learning."
|Dr. Alec Engebretson
|IF-AT: The Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique by Epstein Educational Enterprises is a technique that can be used in the classroom that combines instruction and assessment.
IF-AT is a testing system that provides an interactive learning opportunity for students and a more informative assessment opportunity for teachers.
Use of the IF-AT testing system enables students (or a group of collaborating students) to be provided with immediate feedback about the accuracy of their answers to each question in a test/quiz/homework assignment, etc. as the students are completing each item. The IF-AT system provides immediate affirmative feedback (if an answer choice is correct) and/or corrective feedback (if an answer choice is incorrect).

But for some reason they would not let us pay cash for a suite! (it was only $74!)
I work in the hotel industry and have never heard of a policy like this before!
Also, do not trust the wake-up call system, I never recieved a wake up call, and was therefore late to work at my hotel (Hotel Icon, Houston, TX) and I missed the breakfast! How annoying!

I'm building a new cross/training bik(Custom painted C'Dale SuperX wth Front Derailleur mount removed - Calfee battery in the post) with a Di2 1x10 Drivetrain (48 Fiberlyte Carbon ring in the front - SRAM 11-32 XX Cassette in the back)
I'm Using Record Brake levers and am going to use 2 sets of the new Shimano Sprint Buttons (SW-7972). The first set will be mounted where the regular thumb buttons would be on Ergo Levers (I ride Campy normally) so I get a paddle shifter effect (left hand shift rear ring up - right hand down), I will cut a hole in the side of the hoods so they poke out. The other set will be mounted under the tops for climbing.
I'm going to use the SM-EW79A-I front TT wiring harness as it already has the junction to accept commands from two sets of RD shifters.
Can i just cut off the FD wiring just before it enters the Control Box, and shrink wrap it, or should I keep the whole FD wiring mess and just put dummy plugs on the ends?
I looks like the connectors on the SW-7972's will mate up with the SM-EW79A-I, so I won't have to splice. Is this right?

Are any of the drain pipes less than 1/4" per linear foot slope toward the main drain?
I just installed a 15" round hand sink (w/o overflow) and a grid drain in a new commercial remodel. There appears to be a "back pressure" at the grid drain which makes for very sluggish drainage until the water reaches a certain height in the sink and balances the "back pressure". At this point the sink fills no further, but the water level remains high. A quick stroke of a plunger starts a siphon action that drains the sink in a flash, but once it empties, the cycle starts all over.
The plumbing is all new (6' of 1 1/2", 30' of 2", 10' of 3") to the main drain. I installed a vent pipe about 2' from the drain when I did this installation. I suspected a vent problem, but after installing an auto vent at the trap, there was no change. I even increased the trap size to 1 1/2" to no avail. I'm not a plumber, but have done many, many installations and never seen this. Any ideas?
Are any of the drain pipes less than 1/4" per linear foot slope toward the main drain?
The key words in your descsription are "w/o overflow". The overflow is how the air trapped between the water in the trap and the water in the sink escapes. Without the overflow it is caught and prevents drainage until you plunge it, or the water depth is enough to overcome the backpressure's resistance. The openings in the grid strainer are not large enough to permit the air to rise while the water is falling. Often drilling the holes larger is enough to allow the two to pass through at the same time and permit drainage.
All drain lines are pitched at 1/4"/ft. Hj, You're right about the trapped air not being able to escape the grid drain. I can see it (an air bubble) in there while the drain gurgles. If I take a soda straw and poke it through one of the grid holes while the basin is filled, I can suck the air right out. If I suck hard enough (my wife found this amusing), the drain suddenly roars to life. I'll change out the sink with one equipped with an overflow and/or drain. Thanks for the help!
Your wife found it amusing?I just fell off my chair,that sounds like something I would do!Have A great Day!!

Nothing to LOL aboutby Opinion Staff
Florida is one of 12 states that place no restriction on cell-phone use or texting while driving. That has to end.
More research shows the danger that telecommuncations technology poses to highway safety. Aside from asking the brain to do more than it can, phone talking and texting take at least one hand off the wheel unless a driver uses a hands-free device. A recent study showed that texting is many times more distracting than cell-phone use.
The federal government may penalize states that don't take action. The Florida Legislature will debate the issue next spring. What do you think? Take our poll.
