have a subaru legacy station wagon and was wondering if there will/would be any sound difference if i kept the back seat down.
I would say very little since it is a station wagon:)
was just wondering about the boncing of the waves to the hatch and then back. w/o the seat there i didnt know how the waves would respond.
Here's a noval idea. Try it out instead of asking if it will make a differance to YOUR ears.

Rotel RB1050/Tannoy DC4's/Klipsch RW-10d/ImodIpod/HK AVR230 for now....
Headphones-Ultrasone-HFI780's w/LittleDot MK Vamp Portables Panasonic HJE-900's
only problem with that is trying to remember what it sounds like with the seat up, then running around, put seat down, and play the tune again and see if you hear a difference :)
sounds a whole lot easier than tuning amps mounted in that area. boy do i wish that was my sound dilema, hmm up, or down. try it a few times. if u have really nice friends u can ask a them 2 close it 4 u. teamwork!
a wagon should give u better sound. and it will be best with the seat up.. longest path lenght for the low notes.
place sub in box facing the tailgate. as close to it as acoustically possible. that way, the phase difference between the incident and reflected waves would be the smallest.. hence, less destructive interference.
faced up as far back is prob 2nd best. forward facing against the seat is worst. that's why it would sound better with the seat down.
so u get 2 waves.. phase diff.. etc.
if the seat is dropped, then u get more air being pushed from the speaker into the listening area. so this is the reason for better sound with the seat down when the sub is faced into it.
links.. *i searched real hard* .. i read them in the past but nvr bookmarked.
cant' find the better one :-(
That's why it's almost always better to face the sub to the rear.
With the seat down it might be better but it will definitely be different. Are you going to drive around with the seat down all of the time? If not then I would tune with the seat up and turn the sub around to face the rear.

yeah, am thinking about having the seat down all the time. seems like i am always picking up stuff and never having passengers in the rear.
Naw, it sounds the same, I have been threatened with divorce over it though..... Oh hold on, I thought you said "putting seat back down". My bad:o
The best way to find out would be to try it. All cars are pretty unique listening environments. No one can really tell you for sure if it's going to sound better either way. Try it out.

Rethinking conventional wisdom on manufacturing
With the conventional wisdom about manufacturing blown to bits by the scope and depth of the 2009 recession, ARC Advisory Group president Andy Chatha said there needed to be a new paradigm as manufacturing tries to move forward. "Most of us have been doing a lot of rethinking in the last year or so," said Chatha at the opening of ARC's World Industry Forum in February in Orlando.
With the conventional wisdom about manufacturing blown to bits by the scope and depth of the 2009 recession, ARC Advisory Group president Andy Chatha said there needed to be a new paradigm as manufacturing tries to move forward.
"Most of us have been doing a lot of rethinking in the last year or so," said Chatha at the opening of ARC's World Industry Forum in February in Orlando. Chatha spoke to one of the largest gathering of manufacturing industry suppliers and leaders in the past three years. The three-day event covered issues including operational excellence, asset lifecycle management and cyber-security issues.
For Chatha, though, the recovery starts by pulling together the disparate parts of the manufacturing operation by using technology and management to build greater collaboration throughout the enterprise.
"Collaboration through all different departments is really important to come upon with new breakthrough ideas," Chatha said. "Even though business issues haven't changed much in the last few years, the intensity has grown."
Oracle's partnership with Mitsubishi Automation that was announced at the Forum is an example of collaboration between the enterprise systems and the plant floor equipment to drive greater, more seamless knowledge exchange. Some of it is encouraging collaboration throughout the people in the enterprise. This is more challenging than connecting a thousand nodes to the network, because nodes generally don't create a ruckus. After energy management, change management is a critical issue for manufacturers.
"Most people are familiar with a physical asset, but you need people to run them," Chatha added. "Most important, you need right information at the right place at the right time. Collaboration is not just for people. It has to happen for devices as well."
There were other issues that came out of this year's ARC World Industry Forum:
1. Energy: More than anything else, suppliers are looking at ways to help customers save energy costs because plant managers are being incented and challenged to manage these costs. The technology to manage costs is in place. With people costs flat and plants still looking for new ways to leverage cost savings, energy management is the logical place to start.
2. The importance of people: Asked at the opening of Tuesday's session what the key issue they face is; 26% of the audience said workforce development and the skills gap; 25% said systems and technology; and 20% said asset management.
3. There is budding optimism: Most suppliers agree that the fourth quarter of 2009 was better. It was better than 2008, of course, but it was better than they expected. Michel Crochon, executive vice president of Industry for Schneider Electric, noted that the signs of real growth will be when the OEM business starts to accelerate. Right now, the projects being driven have a good deal to do with the global stimulus packages. When that starts to translate into expanded projects will be when the recovery starts to take a foothold.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Conor O'Shea rejects Ireland talk
ESPN Staff
February 26, 2013
Conor O'Shea has no intentions of leaving Harlequins © PA Photos
Harlequins boss Conor O'Shea is adamant that he is happy at the Aviva Premiership club despite being linked with the Ireland job.
Current Irish coach Declan Kidney's contract runs out after the 2013 Six Nations and reports suggest that he is unlikely to have it renewed. Ireland have just one win from three in the Six Nations and fell to a 12-8 defeat to Scotland on Sunday despite having the majority of the possession and territory.
After that loss at Murrayfield, Kidney was asked about his future, but he deflected the question telling RTE: "I've always said that my role is all about getting ready for the next match. That's what it always has been and that's what it always will be."
Ireland fullback Rob Kearney came to Kidney's defence post-match saying that the players should be blamed for the team's failures on the field rather than the backroom staff.
"On a day like that when we had so much possession and created so much, the blame has to be on the players," Kearney said. "The coaches can't make that final pass for you or make that clinical decision. The players must take responsibility and must bear the brunt."
Despite Kearney's backing for Kidney, former Ireland fly-half Tony Ward said on Tuesday that he feels the former Munster coach's time in charge of Ireland should come to an end and he called for O'Shea to be given the job. "Conor would be my choice to take Ireland forward," Ward told the Guardian. "He has the track record, he trusts the people around him and he is Irish at a time when all our provinces are coached by New Zealanders.
But O'Shea is adamant that he is happy at the club and hopes to stay for a while longer. O'Shea told reporters on Tuesday: "I'm contracted to Harlequins until the end of the 2013-14 season. I will be honouring that commitment and hopefully continuing beyond it."
Other than O'Shea, Ireland Under-20 coach Mike Ruddock's name has also been mentioned as a possible successor to Kidney along with Leinster's Joe Schmidt.

The Christmas light spectacle in McAdenville might end early tonight with a power outage in the town.
The Duke Energy website shows more than 1,500 outages in the town. A Duke spokesman was not immediately available to comment on when power might return.
An accident on U.S. 74/29 near McAdenville took down some power lines, which is probably the cause of the outages, the N.C. Department of Transportation said in a release.
That road is closed, the N.C. DOT said, and is expected to reopen about 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
Drivers should use caution in the area and watch out for officers directing traffic.

QUILCENE — Whitney Gardens and the Sather Family of Brinnon, WA, gave a generous donation of over 50 trees to Center Valley Animal Rescue last week.
"It took us two days and two trips with a truck and a trailer to bring all the trees to CVAR", said Sara Penhallegon, CVAR's director.
Robert Heck, Penhallegon's husband, loaded and unloaded the heavy potted trees and dug the 53 holes with a rented auger. Then CVAR volunteers started getting the trees in the ground starting at the long driveway entry into the ranch. "Give these trees a year or two to mature and this driveway will be beautiful," said Cheryl Halverson, CVAR Board Member and chief tree planter.
Penhallegon stated, "We can't thank the Sather Family and Whitney Gardens enough for their
continuous support of the CVAR rescue shelter. They are true animal lovers themselves and it shows with all the community support they give us."
Other volunteers, Jeanne Emeny, Leslie Graul and Jean Holtz assisted Halverson and Penhallegon with the tree planting. "We can't wait to see all these trees grow and bloom because many of the trees are flowering trees" echoed all the volunteers.
All are welcome to come and see the trees and take a tour of the CVAR shelter located in Quilcene. The visiting days and hours are every Saturday from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm and the first Friday of the month with the same visiting hours. Visit the ranch at 11900 Center Rd., Quilcene, WA, 98376. You can also contact the ranch at 360-765-0598 or at the website, www.centervalleyanimalrescue.org.

War, particularly nuclear war, has become a dangerously presidential matter. President Reagan's progress toward reducing (by a fraction) the superpowers' vast nuclear arsenals was a step back from a policy of terror. Welcome as it was, we have to ask: Why is it that in a democracy the steps both forward and back will be taken by Presidents alone?
Since World War II Americans have lost a key civil right guaranteed by the Constitution: freedom from war unless a majority of our elected representatives vote to declare it. The United States fought undeclared wars in both Korea and Vietnam on the President's say-so. A sequence of recent Presidents have claimed an extension of that power to include nuclear war.

The Salem News
---- — Salem High School students have access to primary health care right inside their high school building. North Shore Community Health Inc. provides these services at the Salem High School Teen Health Center. Founded in 1977, NSCHI's mission is to provide high-quality, comprehensive primary care that is accessible, culturally and linguistically competent, and community-directed for all residents of Massachusetts' North Shore and Cape Ann communities regardless of the ability to pay.
NSCHI staff Kacie Fyrberg, NP, and Jessica Teixeira, medical assistant, provide primary care to Salem High students. In addition to keeping kids healthy and in school, a key goal of the staff is to help students recognize their self-worth, both physically and emotionally. The "invincibility" factor of adolescence can lead to decision-making that puts their health, safety and overall well-being at risk. NSCHI staff works to help students realize that they are only given one body, and that body deserves respect by both themselves and others. Beyond this, they also work to provide an important layer to their foundation for a healthy future.
Having a school-based health center is critical to preventing teenagers from falling through the health care cracks. Adolescence is a time of self-discovery, role confusion, social awkwardness and moral challenge, which makes the need for significant support and guidance critical. By creating a safe and comfortable environment for teenagers to be themselves, NSCHI Salem High School Teen Health Center staff uses teachable moments to bridge that gap between youth and adulthood. Students are encouraged to take an active role in their health care by asking questions, making and keeping appointments, self-advocating, and following recommendations. Staff works to foster independence while recognizing the importance of asking for help. Students have various learning styles, and staff accommodates all patients by utilizing verbal, written, visual and hands-on methods when teaching them about health issues.
At NSCHI, all providers develop relationships with their patients and handle preventive care, diagnose diseases and illnesses, and help find the right specialists when needed. Primary care can handle the health problems that people have most of the time, and when necessary, providers can help patients get the right care at the right time and in the right place.
NSCHI works in close partnership with North Shore Medical Center to achieve the shared goal of providing the right care at the right time in the right place. Although emergency room visits should be used only for those very serious and immediate issues that primary care providers cannot address (such as broken bones, possible heart attacks, strokes, etc.), many people visit the emergency room when a visit to a primary care provider would be more appropriate (and less expensive). NSCHI's Salem High School health center staff works hard to keep students out of the medical center emergency room.
In addition to providing primary care, NSCHI staff is active within the Salem High School community and works on a number of important health-related projects and events. The Salem High School Teen Health Center sponsors an annual teen health and wellness fair. This event has approximately 25 vendors from the Salem community and beyond, who address various adolescent health and safety topics. NSCHI staff also supports an Alateen group within the school. Alateen is a group of young Al-Anon members whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking. In addition, NSCHI staff created a teen pregnancy prevention video that was shown to the entire school.
The Salem High School Teen Health Center is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. on days school is in session. Other patients can visit the health center in Salem (47 Congress St., 978-744-8388) Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with evening hours on Monday and Tuesday until 7 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Peabody Family Health Center (89 Foster St., 978-532-4903) is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with evening hours on Monday and Thursday.
Margaret A. Brennan, MPH, is CEO of North Shore Community Health Inc. This is one in a regular series of columns from the Community Advisory Board for the Salem schools.

Beach and hovercraft station near hotel's location in Freetown, Sierra Leone
Freetown rests on a peninsula that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean and forms West Africa's largest natural harbour. Settled by freed slaves, this capital city surrounded by green mountains was itself built around a cotton tree that's still standing. The bustle of the capital and its business destinations are a 10-kilometre taxi ride from the desirable Aberdeen area, where the Radisson Blu Mammy Yoko gives you direct access to the sands of Lumley Beach.
Lungi International Airport lies on an island across the river just 30 minutes from the hotel's spot in Freetown, Sierra Leone. A water taxi, hovercraft or ferry will get you from the airport to the mainland. A hovercraft station is just 100 metres from the hotel, and the busy Paramount Airlines helipad is adjacent. With advance planning, private speed boat and helicopter transport are also options. When you're settled, take advantage of the hotel's location on the main road to Freetown's central business district.

Skunk spray on a dog sickened 10 employees of a West Hollywood veterinary clinic, a county fire dispatcher said Sunday.
Someone at the clinic called the fire department from the TLC Veterinary Centers at 8725 W. Santa Monica Blvd. about 10:50 p.m. Saturday, dispatcher Ed Pickett said.
Firefighters cleared the clinic, and a Burbank hazardous materials team determined the odor was from a skunk, another county fire spokesman said.
Skunks can spray a foul, sulfurous odor up to about 10 feet. It is typically strong enough to ward off much larger animals, such as bears.

Three Forsyth County schools were recently recognized by the Georgia Department of Education as "Reward Schools," which are part of the state's waiver from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
There are two categories for Reward Schools, "Highest-Performing" and "High Progress." Forsyth has three schools named as "Highest-Performing" and they are:
- Little Mill Middle School
- Otwell Middle School
As a "Highest-Performing School," the three schools have the highest absolute performance over three years for the "all students" group on the statewide assessments, according to the GaDOE. A Highest-Performing School must also have made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for the "all students" group and all of its subgroups in 2011. A school may not be classified as a Highest-Performing School if there are significant achievement gaps across subgroups that are not closing in the school.
"These schools are shining examples of what we can achieve in public education in Georgia," said State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge. "I want to take what's working at our Reward Schools and replicate that in every school in the state. These are the schools making education work for all Georgians."
Read more about Reward Schools on the GaDOE website.
Editor's Note: There were no FCS named as "High-Progress" schools.

The Redwood City Police Department is currently celebrating the promotion of several officers to the rank of Police Lieutenant.
Police Chief Gamez congratulated the following members of the Department that have attained the rank of lieutenant:
- Lieutenant Sean Hart
- Lieutenant Rhonda Leipelt
- Lieutenant Paul Sheffield
- Lieutenant Jim Stoney
As part of the screening process, each candidate took part in assessments and interviews with Lieutenants and Police Chiefs from outside agencies.
This group of lieutenants will be moving into their new assignments after the promotional ceremony, which is slated for early December.
Chief Gamez said, "I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am of the efforts that each of these candidates put into the promotional process. The group of outside Police Chiefs and Captain brought in to conduct the assessment panels were very impressed with the level of expertise and communication skills portrayed by all of our lieutenants."
"I am very excited to begin working with this group of dynamic individuals," Chief Gamez continued. "Again, congratulations to the new lieutenants. The future of the Redwood City Police Department is bright and full of promise."

Been browsing the forums here for quite sometime and decided to start recording my workouts here. For the most part, I need something to hold myself accountable to and I feel if I write it on here I'll be able to do so.
My goals are as follows:
Squat 405
Bench 315
Deadlift 505
I'll post more of my thoughts and more about me later on. Here was today's Rec Hall activities:
Bench: Training Max 225
Bar 3x5
70% ~ 160 x3
80% ~ 180x3
90% ~ 205x3 Terrible technique here, unracked it awkwardly, lost tightness and bar path was high
3 singles: 225, 235, 245 5 lb PR
DB Incline Press
60's x 10, 75's x 10,8,8
DB Rolling Extensions
40's x 3 x 8
Low Cable Rows
Chins/Pull-ups of Various Grips: 8x5 Sprinkled throughout
*Yes, this is 5-3-1, trying to incorporate some heavy singles every other week usually based off of my training max.
More tomorrow/later today
Here is a little background info on me:
I'm 6'2, 225lbs. Ive been experimenting with weights for about 5 years. I am a 21 year old senior at Penn State about to graduate in May. Last May, my weight was an all time high of 240. And when I was a Junior in high school I remember weighing 165lbs. I played sports alot, mainly baseball but was not "required" to lift in high school. I started strength training about 2 years ago with the idea that if I got stronger, I would be bigger.
Now it has become much much more than that. I wish to compete in a meet hopefully next winter or spring. I have been doing 5-3-1 for probably 1 year, and the other year I gave my best attempt to do Westside while having no equipment for it and not being allowed to use bands in the college weight room.
Here's my current training maxes: Squat 365, Dead 440, OHP 185, Bench 225.
My plan is to flop the 3's and 5's week around and do 3 singles on the 3's week, usually with my training max, and 3 singles on the 5/3/1 week, usually with 105% of my training max. During the weeks with the singles, I like to lower the volume a bit. You'll see.
I made this log not because I don't work hard enough in the gym, but because I don't put fourth the effort in the kitchen. I need to start doing that and then I hope to see some solid progress.
Friday 2-25-11
Squats 375 Training Max
90% x3
3 Singles: 355,365,375
Sumo Deads
315x1x3, 365x3x1
Back Extensions
Pull Throughs
Standing Abs
Not the best day, the 355 and 365 felt good but 375 felt like I cut it a bit high depth wise. Gotta work on getting over the mental barriers. Still sore today from Friday.
Over Head Press Training Max 185
Chins 5 sets
Dips 5x5
Lateral Clean and Press combo 3x8
Not feeling well today. Felt exhausted the whole time. My elbows were killing me on the dips. The only thing that felt ok were the chins.

Re: "Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs"
Luckily I can still turn it off -- mostly! -- otherwise I might drive myself mad by keeping up a constant monologue while watching films. But it's what I love about films -- that they can keep you talking endlessly about every little bit and all the aspects of it, be it fan, theorist, critic, maker, casual watcher, other.
I also feel a little bit preachy (it's getting late, I'll be packing up my soap box shortly!), but another thing we really got hammered with was the aspect of Desire as the driving point of a film -- the character's desire moves the plot and the film ends when they do or do not have it. In Dogs, it's the desire to find out who's the rat and what's going to be done with them. In Fargo it's the money (which gives it that driving 'race' force)...but not for Marge. For her, it's to get back to her home life with her husband, pretty much summed up by her getting into bed at the end and talking about the small stuff. It's quaint and fluffy, but in an otherwise really quite brutal film at times, it's also rather...well, nice!

Re: "Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs"
Warning: spoilers in post (and likely succeeding posts, if any).
Don't worry about any soap box - many posts are "yep" and "nope" - sometimes some energy and detail are great.
I get what your saying on Fargo. Given the brutality of the film I guess I wanted a sort of more searching look into the lunacy but it was kind of swept under the carpet but, as you say, that's what a lot of people would like to do with it. So I will agree that Fargo's always in control of itself and does what it wants to do - it's a technically good film.
As far as RD, I'll agree that desire is a prime motivator in plot terms but, in a sense, it always is. I think the thing about RD that's most interesting is, like I say, the authenticity and loyalty aspects, about which I started rambling before deleting a bunch of it. I need to think about it all some more first. But, primarily, where Fargo ends up with everything tidied up and dismissed, RD ends with everybody shot to smithereens and all the questions still hovering. I think that's why I found it more satisfying.
That is interesting though - I think other than violence and Buscemi, there's no direct connection to the two films, but they do make an interesting study in contrasts. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of Fargo, so it's all from memory and it's been awhile. Amazing how much seems to still be sticking so far, though.

Re: "Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs"
I read the script to Fargo before seeing the film, and at the time, I was all "what is this? There's hardly anything here!" I just didn't get it, it was so sparse. But it worked so well on the screen! Hardly anyone is a big talker in the film, which means what they do say has so much more weight, even the most every day and normal conversations. I love the accent. And I think I just generally get the feel that it's just a bit too...cold...in Brainerd for anyone to waste energy worrying about things!
And yeah, when I was chatting on about desire, it's something that should ideally be driving all films.
Leaving the audience with questions at the end certainly means they'll leave/finish the film with it lingering in their minds for a long time after, and talking about it endlessly. Gah, the ending to Inception! What a way to leave us hanging! And because of it, it's definitely memorable. I love that we cut to black before finding out what really happens at the end of Dogs. Although a large part of me really hopes that Mr Pink just gets arrested, rather than shot to pieces by the police!
Another film by the inimitable Coen brothers that stars Steve Bruscemi (though, from a fan point of view, he is massively underused) is The Big Lebowski. It has their trademark stand-out characters and brilliantly understated and layered dialogue. It's hard to place it in terms of Fargo and Reservoir Dogs, but it's certainly less violent, but still somewhat dark. Very enjoyable.

Re: "Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs"
Ooh, you should definitely try Inception, it's one of the best films of recent years. Christopher Nolan is another crazy mofo director who seems to do no wrong.
And yes, the ultimate part of me hopes Mr Pink escapes entirely, but as you say, this is a Quentin Tarantino film after all....

Re: "Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs"
Okay - I'll put Inception on the list. The only Nolan I've seen is Memento, which I've only seen once and I'm not sure what I think of it but I will definitely be seeing it again to find out. It was definitely interesting.

Re: "Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs"
Saw Inception. Nolan fell into a big ol' bucket of money. The special effects in Memento were provided by a magic marker but were a little more elaborate in this one. I had a very similar reaction, though: definitely interesting, definitely partly puzzling, will definitely see again.
One complaint is that the exposition was the movie version of an infodump (albeit an active and entertaining one) and the movie was too long (two and a half hours - hour of setup; hour and a half of main movie) and seemed so fraught with potential "psychic power" that it actually underutilized its pieces. Also, di Caprio came off a bit flat to me much of the time.
Otherwise, some neat ideas with extremely arresting visuals and a generally good cast and I was interested throughout. Thanks for nudging me to watch it, Hoopy.

Re: "Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs"
Tsk, J-Sun, I'm not going to recommend these brilliant films unless you agree with my opinions about them 100%!
I watched Memento the other day and it was so very good. I love films where you have work things out (well, you don't have to, but I love guessing stuff. Often out loud. I'm a terrible person to watch films with). It also made No One, whose DVD it was, to have a minor epiphany about how all the groundwork for Inception is in Memento. Which, considering how long ago Nolan started writing Inception, probably is the case.

Basically, money no object in terms of buying it would you go for the basic S-Line or Black Edition?
It would be a 2009-2010 and that's about it.
Just wandered what people would go for.
Basically, money no object in terms of buying it would you go for the basic S-Line or Black Edition?
It would be a 2009-2010 and that's about it.
Just wandered what people would go for.
I went for the black edition, mainly for the black pack and extras u get with the car ie xenons, flat bottom steering wheel etc.
U should get an s line cheaper than this if its what ur after, plus maybe have a better paid for extras on the car.
If u like rotor alloys these came standard on the 60 plate onwards.
Really its up to yourself what u like
Audi A4 BE 2.0 TDI 177 Quattro
The things selling the black edition to me at xenons, bose and black pack.
Gotta be honest, I prefer the pre-60 plate alloys. Either the standard s-line ones or in titanium.
Got to be a Black Edition!
I prefer the earleir titanium alloys too. I've got a friend with the rotors on a white Black Edition, which look really nice, but we both prefer the titaniums on the black car.
I'm probably in the minority here though as the rotors have a big following.
Now: 2010 A3 SB S-Line Black Edition 2.0TDi 140CR. Panther Black
Retro'd: Black S-Line badges | Private Plate | Come home lights activated | Fogs as corning lights activated | Hill hold assist activated | TPMS (via VCDS) activated | 3.5" s/s tailpipe | LED interior lighting.
Gone: 2007 A3 SB Sport TDI 140. Dolphin Grey
I have a black edition, I just feel it stands out far better! And you get all the good little extras like the bose speakers, flat bottom steering wheel and piano black interior trim
I wanted a Black Edition, but I was finding that they were reasonably high mileage (as they are ex fleet cars), yet they were still highly priced.
Found my v. good spec S Line Quattro with half the mileage (albeit older) around £3k cheaper
2007 A3 S Line Quattro 170 TDi
Black edition
Black Edition for sure, the difference it makes on my S3 compared to non BE is unreal
2009/2010 | Audi S3 Black Edition Ibis White | Black Optics Pack | Fully Loaded | S-Tronic
I opted for fully loaded Sline. Thought better value incl open sky roof...
Fully loaded black edition all day long!
Black all the way, or one day you will park next to one in your sline and feel inferior!
A3 1.8T sport, revo stage 1, Forge 007, Green cotton panel filter, TTpedals. . . . . SOLD
Golf GTTDI 130 . . . . . SOLD
Current 2006 A3 2.0TDI Quattro S-Line, Revo stage one, chrome pedals, black grill, full interior and number plate LEDs retro fitted cruise control,
Probably more expensive but I'd defo go BE over S Line if I could.
Black 2007 2.0 FSI Sport
2011 Glossy Black RNS-E |AP Coilovers | 18" 7 Spoke OEM BE Alloy Wheels | H&R Trak+ Spacers 8mm (Front) 12mm (Rear) | MY11 Rear Lights | S Line Spoiler | Retrofitted MFSW | Retrofitted Cruise Control | Interior LED Light Pack | OEM LED Numberplate Bulbs
I'd prefer a non BE myself provided it has LED xenon's.
FBMFSW is also quite high on my list but I cant be arsed with the tints and detest rotors!
My S3 is a 58 plate so no BE option anyway.
TTS, Leon Cupra R, MK2 Golf GTi 16v BB 3dr & MK4 Golf "GTi" 2.0 8v
306 Rallye
Impreza STi8
Leon Cupra R REVO
Impreza T2000
306 Rallye
MK3 Golf GTi 8v
& more in between
Black Edition. Sexy.
Black Pack.
Xenons + Daytime Running Lights + Coming Home/Leaving Home Lights
Rotors - Didn't like them at first but absolutely love them now. Glad I didn't opt for the older ones.
|62 Plate - Audi A3 2.0 TDI 170 Black Edition| - |Glacier White| - |Comfort Pack| - |Interior Light Pack|
|Light and Rain Sensor Pack| - |USB Console| - |Audi Exclusive Line Pack|
Black Edition, S3, in Sprint Blue.
Audi S3, Sprint Blue, Black Edition
Black edition all day every day. I also prefer the older titanium rims (not just because I have them) subtle differences make it stand out over the s line. xenons, flat bottom steering wheel and bose is a real God send!
Black Edition all the way, but I'm not biased or anything
Black Ed with the ti RS4 style alloys, that's what I have and I prefer it over the standard S3. Gives you that stealthy ninja nightrider feel

King TidesMonday, December 10th, 2012
The California King Tides Initiative encourages members of the public to go photograph shorelines in their local community during the highest tides of the winter. These high tides, combined with winter storm surge and runoff, can show us how the coast may look after future sea level rise. The king tide dates for this year are: December 12th-14th, January 9th-11th, and February 7th-9th. This is a great way to participate in citizen science in your community; so go take some photos!

Why Feminists and Liberals Have Nothing to Fear from Judge Alito
JURIST Guest Columnist
Nora Demleitner
, former law clerk to Judge Samuel Alito and currently professor of law at Hofstra University School of Law, says that Judge Alito's judicial philosophy is driven by adherence to text, record, and precedent rather than dedication to a particular ideology...
ince having been nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court, Republicans and members of right-wing interest groups have hailed Judge Samuel Alito as one of their own. They claim that as a Justice he would overturn
Roe v. Wade
, vote for states' rights against the federal government, protect corporations against individual plaintiffs, restrict the federal government to its essential functions, and limit the rights of criminal defendants. These assertions have stoked the flames of left-wing news media and advocacy groups. They have embraced the notion that Justice Alito would prove to be to the right of Justice Scalia, and therefore is unsuitable to take the place of the so-called "moderate," Justice O'Connor.
Both sides find support for their claims about Justice Alito's philosophy in his writings -- the hundreds of cases in which he has participated since joining the Third Circuit. Individual cases may support one claim or another; there may even be a line of cases that supports the left's exaggerated fears about Judge Alito's supposed judicial philosophy. He does have a judicial philosophy. However, it has little to do with that of Justice Scalia or Judge Bork.
First, Judge Alito reads statutes closely, and attempts to ascertain their meaning from their text. He will generally follow the language of a statute unless it is ambiguous or leads to an absurd result. Second, he reads the lower court record. His years as an appellate litigator have trained him to do that, and he has followed this practice faithfully during his time on the Third Circuit. He refuses to ascribe arguments to an advocate, or base his decisions on statements not made at trial. Third, he follows precedent – Supreme Court decisions as well as those of the Third Circuit. In the last few decades the Supreme Court has frequently made that difficult for lower courts. And a few times Judge Alito, attempting to decipher the meaning of a precedent or predicting the outcome of a line of cases, has been reversed. In each of these cases, though, he made an honest effort to reach the legally correct result, independent of his personal beliefs.
How do we label this judicial philosophy? Conservative? Maybe. Boring? Perhaps. With Judge Alito you get what you see, a first-rate legal analyst who, despite claims to the contrary, has judged every case on its own, has struggled with the law and the facts, and has attempted to explain his rationale to his fellow judges, the litigants, and the public. His experience as a federal prosecutor has not led to automatic decisions for the government but rather to practically informed reasoned arguments that often take account of the pressures upon the men and women enforcing the law.
Take two cases in point. In the first, an Iranian woman claiming asylum argued that deporting her back to Iran would lead to her persecution for membership in a social group consisting of upper-class, Western educated Iranian women who consider wearing the Muslim headscarf contrary to their personal beliefs. In the second, the court was asked to decide a government forfeiture claim against a pharmacy from which the husband illegally dealt drugs but which he and his wife held as tenants by the entirety.
How did Judge Alito rule? In the first case, he wrote, quite reluctantly, a decision that denied the woman's asylum claim even though he interpreted the law broadly. He not only foreshadowed a later decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals which allowed for asylum in a gender-based case, but seemed to embrace the notion that gender alone could constitute a social group. The lower court record, which he parsed carefully, forced him to find against the asylum applicant though in the process he made good law for asylum-seekers. And I am sure that he was relieved to find out that the applicant found another avenue to stay in this country after the decision was issued.
In the second case Judge Alito was faced with a statute that provided no answer as to how to resolve the competing claims between the wife and the government. He granted the government the right to forfeit fifty percent of the property but left the wife with the other fifty percent and a lifelong right to full possession of the property. This was an attempt at a Solomonic decision which showed his respect for legislative intent as much as his practical side.
Both of these were unanimous rulings. While Judge Alito's dissents have been discussed
ad nauseam
in the last few days, little has been said about his judicial demeanor on the bench. He has been able to find common ground with all judges of the Third Circuit, independent of political affiliation. And apparently not one has uttered a negative word about Judge Alito. Perhaps they do not want to ruffle feathers, but more likely they've come to appreciate his personal behavior as much as his intellect. All of his dissents are deeply respectful, though obviously critical of the majority. He engages the majority in argument but without any name-calling or the type of sarcastic criticism that has dominated many Supreme Court dissents in recent years. He may bring some much needed affability and consensus building to the Supreme Court. But law students beware, his opinions and dissent may lack some of Justice Scalia's raciness.
Feminists and liberals, expect more line-drawing from Justice Alito, but sleep well tonight in the belief that he will not threaten our liberties or the foundations of our country, though he may force Congress to write its statutes more clearly.
Nora Demleitner is professor of law at Hofstra University School of Law. She clerked for for Judge Alito from 1992-1993.

BRT station moves forward
Date: November 12, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The rebuilt Janie Poe public-housing complex will be adding a new amenity. County commissioners voted two weeks ago to add $225,000 into phase two of the Janie's Garden Apartments for the design of a bus rapid transit station.
It appears, though, that county commissioners did not know that money would be spent even if the BRT is not built and, right now, the general manager of SCAT says there's only a 50% chance that it will be constructed.
"This seriously concerns me," said County Commission Chairman Jon Thaxton. "I just assumed the station wasn't going to be built if the BRT didn't go forward."
The BRT is a faster transit line that would have few stops as it travels from the University of South Florida area to Westfield Southgate Mall. The uncertainty about its future stems from opposition from neighborhood groups who oppose the route traveling near their homes and its price tag — $100 million.
Despite that uncertainty, William Russell, Sarasota Housing Authority executive director, said there's no contingency plan that stops the BRT station's construction.
"We felt it was much better to design (the station) now," he said. "It will be in the same architectural style as Janie's Garden."
The BRT station, according to SCAT General Manager Anthony Beckford, will be more than a typical bus stop with a bench and a plastic enclosure.
"It will be a plaza. It will look like a train station," Beckford said. "It'll be pretty fancy."
Russell said if the BRT doesn't happen, the new station would be used as a regular bus stop.
"I don't need to build a $225,000 bus stop," said Thaxton. "I can do a bus stop in the same architecture style for a lot less."
