2012/2013 Audi Q5 in Burlingame, California
2012/2013 Audi Q5 in Burlingame - Specs, Photos & Inventory
quattro® All-wheel Drive
Permanent all-wheel drive systems are not created equal. And they certainly don't perform that way, either. quattro is essentially a mechanical system devised around a torque-sensing, self-locking, center differential that shifts torque instantaneously to where it's needed. This means quattro is adjusting power between front and rear axles more than 100 times a second, helping ensure torque is delivered to the wheels where traction exists. Under normal driving situations, quattro distributes the power between each axle by sending 40 percent to the front wheels and 60 percent to the rear wheels, enhancing the driving dynamics while helping maintain optimum control. Constantly assessing grip, quattro ensures the best possible combination of traction and handling, regardless of the road conditions.
Innovative Braking System
Audi has implemented a number of ingenious features to help maximize braking effectiveness. In wet conditions, the brake disc wiping system gently pulses the brakes to help dissipate water buildup. Keeping the discs as dry as possible helps promote the most effective braking. Additionally, the brake assist system is able to detect an attempt at full braking and apply full stopping power when required. The advantage is that braking distance is significantly reduced.
Five-link Front Suspension and Trapezoidal-link Rear Suspension
With the finely tuned front-suspension components secured to the subframe, the five-link front suspension increases ride quality by isolating road harshness and vibration from the cabin. The use of weightsaving aluminum for critical components helps reduce unsprung mass at each wheel, allowing the suspension to respond more rapidly. Together with the Independent trapezoidal-link rear suspension with rigid subframe and stabilizer bar, the Q5 delivers a driving experience that is extremely responsive, smooth and predictable. It is handling that has become an Audi hallmark.
Audi Valvelift System
Audi valvelift system helps elevate the performance characteristics of variable valve timing. The result is smooth power buildup, instantaneous throttle response and up to a 7 percent reduction in fuel consumption. Audi valvelift system intelligently varies the lift and duration of engine exhaust valves in response to engine load and power needs. Optimizing air management, Audi valvelift system helps create maximum torque across a broad range of RPM without sacrificing efficiency.
Audi drive select
With 27 available vehicle handling and performance combinations, Audi drive select is another example of Audi progressive technology. Whether you prefer the smooth, luxurious ride of Comfort mode or the more direct and firmer responses of Dynamic mode, Audi drive select allows you to tailor the vehicle to your liking.
Beginning with three preset vehicle configurations, Audi drive select manages the adaptive suspension, dynamic steering, transmission shift characteristics and throttle response according to the selected mode: Comfort, Automatic or Dynamic. Adding to the versatility of Audi drive select, the Individual mode manages 27 personalized variations, essentially allowing the driver to configure the vehicle driving dynamics according to his or her precise preferences.
Responsive Servotronic® Steering
Servotronic® is speed-dependent power steering in which the amount of power assist provided is dictated by road speed, providing even more comfort and convenience for the driver. The amount of power assist is greatest at low speeds, making it easier to maneuver the car. At higher speeds, an electronic-sensing system gradually reduces the level of power assist, creating a tighter, more dynamic steering feel.
To further enhance handling and ride comfort, significant attention to detail has been paid to suppressing vibrations at the attachment points along the steering column. The result is a nearly 100 percent reduction in steering wheel vibration, offering the driver smoothness at virtually any speed.
FSI® Direct Injection
Audi Fuel Stratified Injection, or FSI®, offers the benefits of increased performance and fuel efficiency. FSI direct injection delivers a precise amount of fuel directly into the engine cylinders as opposed to the engine intake runners. This advanced process helps ensure a more complete combustion, thereby diminishing waste and increasing power.
By combining FSI and forced induction, such as a turbocharger, the 2.0T engine employs a variation of FSI called TFSI®. The principle and benefits are identical. TFSI equipped engines take advantage of significantly higher compression ratios and cylinder pressure, thus fully atomizing fuel and optimizing boost response. The compressor condenses the air flowing into the engine, allowing more air into the cylinder and therefore creating more power from each ignition. A forced induction engine produces greater power than a similar engine without it, significantly improving the engine's power-to-weight ratio.
Audi Hill descent control
Hill descent assist automatically maintains the speed set by the driver on steep descents by controlling engine speed and brakes. The result is a significant increase in comfort and stability when descending hills, no matter the road conditions. Hill descent control is conveniently activated and deactivated using a separate switch.
Unmistakable Profile
Walk around to the side of the Q5 and you will notice a sporty and sophisticated profile. From the dramatic wheels set off by the rising edges of the fenders, to the graceful slope of the roof accented by the striking aluminum roof rails, the Q5 stands apart from the crowd.
Singleframe® Grille
The Singleframe® grille gives the Q5 an aggressive, unmistakably Audi look while enhancing the overall aesthetic of the vehicle.
Audi adaptive Headlights
Utilizing input from the steering wheel and speed of the vehicle, available Audi adaptive headlights pivot up to 15 degrees to allow you to see ahead in the dark by lighting up corners more effectively.
Audi xenon Plus Headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights
The available signature LED daytime running lights and high-intensity headlights not only add a distinct look to the vehicle, they also help improve visibility while using half of the energy of conventional bulbs.
LED Taillights
LED lights are superior to conventional bulbs, thanks to faster activation speeds. In addition, they can last an entire vehicle lifetime and consume up to 50 percent less energy while adding a signature look to your Audi.
Benchmark Fit and Finish
The interior of the Q5 places you in the middle of thousands of exquisite details, all designed to create a one-of-a-kind driving experience. Premium materials like Dark Brown Walnut wood or Brushed Aluminum inlays are honed to a maximum tolerance of just 0.2 mm. The color of the leather, dash and inlays are precisely matched, compensating for variations in texture and reflectivity. Together, they create an interior unmatched in its class.
Driver-oriented Cockpit
Angled slightly toward you, the driver-oriented cockpit with a hand-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel is the focal point, where technology and craftsmanship intersect. The stitching, the precise positioning of the spokes for your thumbs and even the thickness of the steering wheel itself create a feeling of total control.
Spacious Cargo Area
With the rear seats folded flat, the cargo area is spacious, offering 57.3 cu. ft. of capacity for whatever the day may hold. Rear seat passengers enjoy reclining leather seats as well as forward and backward adjustments for further cargo carrying customization.
Three-zone Climate Control
The driver, front passenger and rear passenger can select and control their desired level of heating or cooling via the center console.
MMI® operating system
Building on a tradition of intuitive and easy-to-use operation, the latest generation navigation system utilizes a 40GB hard drive and NVIDIA chip to deliver 3D graphics in stunning detail. The system includes a 7'' full color screen in the center console, an easy-to-use joystick on the main control knob and a color driver information display located in the instrument panel.
Panorama Sunroof
The two-panel panorama sunroof produces a unique, light-filled driving experience. The rear panel is fixed, while the front can be tilted and opened. The mesh wind deflector provides excellent aero acoustics while the large two-piece panorama sunroof offers an unobstructed view overhead. When you want less light, a power sunshade is available to help dim the cabin.
Convenient Storage Solutions
Thoughtful conveniences abound in the Q5, such as storage solutions for your umbrella and groceries in the passenger footwell. Other features include a passenger side well hook and bottle holders integrated in the door of the Q5.
Available Thermo Cup Holder
The specially designed thermo heated/cooled cup holder helps maintain the desired temperature of your beverage.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps keep the vehicle traveling in its intended direction by utilizing ABS, the traction control of ASR and the electronic brake force distribution of EBD. Specifically, when ESC detects loss of traction, it automatically adjusts the throttle and applies the brakes to help "steer" the vehicle where you intend to go. Braking is automatically applied to each wheel: at the outer front wheel to mitigate oversteer, or the inner rear wheel to mitigate understeer.
Innovative Braking System
Audi has implemented a number of ingenious features to help maximize braking effectiveness. In wet conditions, the brake disc wiping system gently pulses the brakes to help dissipate water buildup. Keeping the discs as dry as possible helps promote the most effective braking. Additionally, the brake assist system is able to detect an attempt at full braking and apply full stopping power when required. The advantage is that braking distance is significantly reduced.
Six Standard Airbags
The six standard, second-generation airbags provide an additional measure of safety. They include front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger and are designed to help protect the head. Seat-mounted, side-impact airbags for the front seat occupants are designed to help protect the thorax in a collision. And the side-curtain airbags offer front and rear occupants head protection in the event of a side collision or rollover.
Reacting to rear collision forces, the head restraints help cradle the occupant's head in an effort to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash injury.
Audi Adaptive Headlights
Utilizing input from the steering wheel and speed of the vehicle, available Audi adaptive headlights pivot up to 15 degrees to allow you to see ahead in the dark by lighting up corners more effectively.
Audi side assist
Active at speeds over 19 MPH, available Audi side assist monitors blind spots and fast-approaching vehicles at a range of 150 ft. When a vehicle is present within the monitored area, the system warns you via LED lights in the exterior mirrors.
Available Audi parking system with Rearview Camera
This safety-enhancing system integrates a rearview camera for real-time viewing of the rear parking area while front and rear ultrasonic parking sensors measure the distance to the nearest object and audibly warn you when the distance becomes unsafe.
Audi Hill descent control
Hill descent assist automatically maintains the speed set by the driver on steep descents by controlling engine speed and brakes. The result is a significant increase in comfort and stability when descending hills, no matter the road conditions. Hill descent control is conveniently activated and deactivated using a separate switch.
High-strength Steel Body with Energy-absorbing Crumple Zones
When prevention isn't enough, the combination of crumple zones and high-strength steel helps deliver a tremendous level of protection for the driver and passengers. Crumple zones, at the front and rear of the vehicle, are designed to help dissipate the energy and force of a collision by deforming upon impact. The high-strength steel used in and around the occupant cell is designed to protect the integrity of the passenger compartment and those within it.

A few days ago, Jake McDonough asked on his Twitter feed if anyone had a CF account. I replied I did, and he sent me back a request to post something on here about him being up for Producer of the Year at Strange Music.......I agreed to do that, and now feel obligated to help him win this. All it takes is for you to go here Strange Music, Inc and vote for JMAC. He is in the lead, but his lead has been growing smaller and smaller by the hour today. It appears the supporters of his main competition have gotten organized. He really needs your help! At least 31 times this year, Jake made you happy as an ISU fan when he was in on one of the tackles he made this year. Pay him back a bit with your voting. Also, those of you that have figured out how to vote mulitple times, please post the details here so others can follow your lead. How to do it varies from browser to browser and with each mobile device. Nobody does a better job than the members of CF with online voting. Let's get this for Jake while he concentrates on his job in the Liberty Bowl. Thanks!

Anthony Weiner Explodes at 'Jackass' Voter in Brooklyn
Anthony Weiner, known to spar with the occasional heckler, got into his biggest shouting match to date today.
After an Orthodox Jewish man called Mr. Weiner a "scumbag" as he was leaving a Boro Park bakery, the mayoral hopeful furiously spun around to confront the voter.
"Very nice, very nice, in front of kids. That's a charming guy right there," Mr. Weiner, chewing on cookies, uttered during one of several campaign stops on a visit to the neighborhood on the eve of the Jewish New Year. Read More

Is Your Sunscreen Safe?
Sun-Damaged Skin: 10 Worst Slip-Ups
Sunburn Relief Guide
Beach in a Bottle: We Test 5 Top Bronzers
10 Ways to Ruin Your Skin – Fast!
Summer naturally makes us happy. Sunlight improves our mood by boosting endorphins and generating natural vitamin D in our skin. Elevated levels of vitamin D not only help maintain strong bones, but may even reduce the risk of breast, colon and prostate cancers. But summer sun exposure also means a greater risk of skin cancer.
The biggest risk factor for skin cancer is one we're born with – our skin type. And the melanin-challenged know who they are. Those at highest risk of skin cancer have fair complexions. Six skin types – developed by Harvard dermatologist Thomas Fitzpatrick – are generally recognized. Skin type is determined genetically and the way skin reacts to sun exposure. Scoring of skin type is done according to the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Chart: Types 1 and 2 are the fairest of all, with light-colored eyes, red or blond hair, freckles and pale skin that burns easily and tans poorly.
For the 1s and 2s, summer is mostly about avoiding the sun or minimizing skin damage. Types 5 and 6 have naturally dark skin, and are at low risk of burns, skin damage and cancer. However, even dark skin can develop melanoma, so no skin type is immune from skin cancer.
For 1s and 2s, direct sun exposure is best avoided between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. by covering up, staying indoors or under shade and wearing hats and polarized sun glasses (yes, you can even get melanoma of the eye called ocular melanoma). But remember, if you're pool-side or on the ski slopes, reflected sunlight is nearly as damaging as direct sun exposure.
Liberal application of sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater with UVA protection is recommended (SPF only measures UVB protection). And don't forget covering the tips of the ears and using high SPF lip balm. When applying cream-type sunscreens, leave a film of lotion for best protection. Some experts recommend applying sunscreen after a shower when the skin is most well hydrated. The upper skin layer or stratum corneum may be able to absorb more UV-blocking chemical.
The type of clothing can make a big difference in the level of skin protection against harmful UV rays. A white cotton T-shirt provides little protection against UV light, and when wet, offers practically none. Some manufacturers offer UVP-rated (ultraviolet protection factor) fabrics, much the same as SPF rating for sunscreens. Finished goods as well as fabrics for sewing are available.
Denser fabrics will block out most UV light, but these tend to be too heavy for summer fun (since you wouldn't wear denim on the beach). Lighter weight, high-UPF fabrics have special weaves or are treated with UV-absorbing chemicals, like titanium dioxide. Regular clothes can be made more protective by washing with a laundry additive that contains a sunscreen ingredient. Some manufacturers claim their additives can block more than 95% of UV light.
Keep in mind that certain medications are sun-sensitizers or can make you more vulnerable to the harmful effects of UV radiation. Naproxen, a commonly used painkiller, ups your risk of burning or blistering. If you're sensitive, try ibuprofen, aspirin, or acetaminophen instead. Some antibiotics and antidepressants are notorious sun-sensitizers. People with weakened immune systems from chronic diseases or who suffer from autoimmune diseases like lupus may be more vulnerable to the effects of UV damage to DNA.
What about the protective effects of a tan? It's true that a tan provides some measure of protection, but only about a 2 or 3 SPF equivalent, which isn't substantial. And getting a tan, if you can get one, is actually your body's rescue response to skin damage. Both UVA and UVB penetrate the top layer of skin into underlying tissues. UVA causes the most skin aging, as it penetrates more deeply into the dermal support structures and damages them. That's why tanning salons cause such skin aging – they're nearly 100% UVA rays.
What about vitamin D? If your final justification for getting more sun is to boost vitamin D levels, supplements work well. Make sure you take D3 (cholecalciferol) which is the same compound generated by your skin – although it's not as much fun as a stroll on the beach.

The Invisible Man is a 1933 science fiction film based on H. G. Wells' science fiction novel The Invisible Man, published in 1897, as adapted by R. C. Sherriff, Philip Wylie and Preston Sturges, whose work was considered unsatisfactory and who was taken off the project.[1] The film was directed by James Whale and stars Claude Rains, in his first American screen appearance, and Gloria Stuart. It is considered one of the great Universal Horror films of the 1930s, and spawned a number of sequels, plus many spinoffs using the idea of an "invisible man" that were largely unrelated to Wells' original story.
Rains portrayed the Invisible Man (Dr. Jack Griffin) mostly only as a disembodied voice. Rains is only shown clearly for a brief time at the end of the film, spending most of his on-screen time covered by bandages. In 2008 The Invisible Man was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
A mysterious stranger, his face swathed in bandages and his eyes obscured by dark goggles, takes a room at The Lion's Head Inn in the English village of Iping in Sussex. The man demands that he be left alone. Later, the innkeeper, Mr. Hall (Forrester Harvey) is sent by his wife (Una O'Connor) to evict the stranger after he makes a huge mess in his room while doing research and falls behind on his rent. Angered, the stranger throws Mr. Hall down the stairs. Confronted by a policeman and some local villagers, he removes his bandages and goggles, revealing that he is invisible. Laughing maniacally, he takes off his clothes, making himself completely undetectable, and drives off his tormenters before fleeing into the countryside.
The stranger is Dr. Jack Griffin (Claude Rains), a chemist who has discovered the secret of invisibility while conducting a series of tests involving an obscure drug called monocane. Flora Cranley (Gloria Stuart), Griffin's fiancee and the daughter of Griffin's employer, Dr. Cranley (Henry Travers), becomes distraught over Griffin's long absence. Cranley and his other assistant, Dr. Kemp (William Harrigan), search Griffin's empty laboratory, finding only a single note in a cupboard. Cranley becomes concerned when he reads it. On a list of chemicals is monocane, which Cranley knows is extremely dangerous; an injection of it drove a dog mad.
On the evening of his escape from the inn, Griffin turns up at Kemp's home. He forces Kemp to become his visible partner in a plot to dominate the world through a reign of terror, commencing with "a few murders here and there". They drive back to the inn to retrieve his notebooks on the invisibility process. Sneaking inside, Griffin finds a police inquiry underway, conducted by an official who believes it is all a hoax. After securing his books, he attacks and kills the officer.
Back home, Kemp calls first Cranley, asking for help, and then the police. Flora persuades her father to let her come along. In her presence, Griffin becomes more placid and calls her "darling." When he realizes Kemp has betrayed him, his first reaction is to get Flora away from danger. After promising Kemp that at 10 o'clock the next night he will murder him, Griffin escapes and goes on a killing spree. He causes the derailment of a train, resulting in a hundred deaths, and throws two volunteer searchers off a cliff. The police offer a reward for anyone who can think of a way to catch the Invisible Man.
The chief detective (Dudley Digges) in charge of the search uses Kemp as bait, feeling Griffin will try to fulfill his promise, and devises various clever traps. At Kemp's insistence, the police disguise him in a police uniform and let him drive his car away from his house. Griffin, however, is hiding in the back seat of the car. He overpowers Kemp and ties him up in the front seat. Griffin then sends the car down a steep hill and over a cliff, where it explodes on impact.
Griffin seeks shelter from a snowstorm in a barn. A farmer hears snoring and sees the hay, in which Griffin is sleeping, moving. The man notifies the police. The police surround the building and set fire to the barn. When Griffin comes out, the chief detective sees his footprints in the snow and opens fire, mortally wounding him. Griffin is taken to the hospital where, on his deathbed, he admits to Flora that he had tampered with something that was meant to be left alone. After he dies, his body gradually becomes visible again.

Several notable character actors appear in minor roles, including Dwight Frye as a reporter, Walter Brennan as a man whose bicycle is stolen, and John Carradine, acting at that time under the name Peter Richmond, as a Cockney informer.
Claude Rains was not the studio's first choice to play the lead role in The Invisible Man. Boris Karloff was originally supposed to play the part but withdrew after producer Carl Laemmle Jr. tried too many times to cut Karloff's contractual salary.[1] To replace Karloff, Chester Morris, Paul Lukas and Colin Clive were considered for the part.[1][2] It was James Whale, who was assigned to direct the film to replace Cyril Gardner,[2] who wanted the "intellectual voice" of Claude Rains to play "Griffin" – Rains was his first and only choice, although he did temporarily agree to Clive as a tactic in creating a demand for Rains.[1][3] Problems in developing the script held up the project for some time; in June 1932 the film was called off temporarily.[2]
The Invisible Man was in production from June to August 1933[4] at Universal studios in Los Angeles.[5] Filming was interrupted near the end by a fire, started by a smudge pot kicked into some hay, which damaged an exterior set.[2]
The film was released on 13 November 1933[6][7] and was marketed with the taglines "Catch me if you can!" and "H.G. Wells' Fantastic Sensation."[8]
Differences from novel[edit]
Although the basic framework of the story and the characters' names are largely the same as in the novel, there are several great differences. The novel takes place in the 1890's, when it was first published, thus making its scientific aspects even more remarkable. The film takes place in 1933, the year of its release. In the novel, Griffin (the Invisible Man) remains almost a totally mysterious person, with no fiancee or friends; in the film he is engaged to a beautiful woman and has the support of her father and his associate. In the novel, Griffin is already mad before he makes himself invisible, with his insanity being completely unmotivated other than being a lust for power. In the film, Griffin is driven mad by the drug that makes him invisible. Dr. Kemp survives in the novel; his life is saved by those who ultimately kill Griffin. In the film, Dr. Kemp is terrified throughout, and pays for betraying Griffin with his life.
Special effects[edit]
The film is known for its clever and groundbreaking visual effects by John P. Fulton, John J. Mescall and Frank D. Williams, whose work is often credited for the success of the film.[1] When the Invisible Man had no clothes on, the effect was achieved through the use of wires, but when he had some of his clothes on or was taking his clothes off, the effect was achieved by shooting Claude Rains in a completely black velvet suit against a black velvet background and then combining this shot with another shot of the location the scene took place in using a matte process. Claude Rains was claustrophobic and it was hard to breathe through the suit. Consequently, the work was especially difficult for him, and a double, who was somewhat shorter than Rains, was sometimes used.[3][9]
The effect of Rains seeming to disappear was created by making a head and body cast of the actor, from which a mask was made. The mask was then photographed against a specially prepared background, and the film was treated in the laboratory to complete the effect.[2]
Reaction, awards and honors[edit]
The Invisible Man was named by the New York Times as one of the Ten Best Films of 1933,[10] but H. G. Wells, the author of the book the film was based on, said at a dinner in its honor, that "while he liked the picture he had one grave fault to find with it. It had taken his brilliant scientist and changed him into a lunatic, a liberty he could not condone." James Whale replied that the film was addressed to the "rationally minded motion picture audience," because "in the minds of rational people only a lunatic would want to make himself invisible anyway."[2] (In the original novel, the scientist was amoral from the start and did not hesitate to rob his own father [who consequently commits suicide] to get the money to buy certain drugs, etc., for the invisibility process. In the movie, an essential color-removing drug in the process had the unavoidable side-effect of unbalancing his mind.) Despite his misgivings, Wells did praise the performance of Una O'Connor as the shrieking Mrs. Hall.[11]
Whale, who had previously directed Frankenstein as well as the first version of Waterloo Bridge, received a Special Recommendation from the 1934 Venice Film Festival in recognition of his work on The Invisible Man.[12]
Claude Rains' film career took off after The Invisible Man, which was his first American film appearance.
The film was nominated for the American Film Institute's AFI's 100 Years...100 Thrills and AFI's 10 Top 10 (science fiction film), while the character was nominated as a villain for the AFI's 100 Years...100 Heroes and Villains list.
Home media[edit]
The Invisible Man was released on VHS as part of the Universal Studios' Classic Monster Collection in 1992.
In 2004 Universal released six legacy collections that included some of their best horror films. The Invisible Man was uncut and longer than previously televised versions. The complete "Invisible Man" collection comprised:
- The Invisible Man (1933)
- The Invisible Man Returns (1940)
- The Invisible Woman (1940)
- Invisible Agent (1942)
- The Invisible Man's Revenge (1944)
as well as bonus features, including Now You See Him: The Invisible Man Revealed, a detailed look at the making of the classic horror film and its sequels by film historian Rudy Behlmer.
Sequels and remakes[edit]
- The Invisible Man Returns (1940) stars Vincent Price as a man accused of murder who uses the invisibility formula to clear his name. The film was well received by critics and audiences alike.
- The Invisible Woman (1940) used the concept to create a slickly made screwball comedy with Virginia Bruce and John Barrymore.
- Invisible Agent (1942) is a blatantly patriotic World War II adventure yarn with Jon Hall using invisibility to fight the Nazis.
- The Invisible Man's Revenge (1944) stars Jon Hall once again, but has no relation to Invisible Agent. Hall plays an escaped fugitive who is injected with the invisibility formula.
- In the post-War era, Universal's stable of once-frightening movie monsters appeared in comedies that parodied the horror genre. The first, and most successful, was Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948). Vincent Price makes a voice-only cameo appearance as the Invisible Man at the very end of the film. The comedy duo went on to make the highly popular Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951), which was a modified remake of The Invisible Man Returns.
- The Invisible Man (1958) is a British television series that ran for 26 episodes.
- The Invisible Man (1976) is a short-lived, 13-episode TV series on NBC that contemporized the story. David McCallum was the titular star.
- Gemini Man (1976) was the second attempt by the NBC network to turn the concept into an adventure series. It lasted only 11 episodes.
- The Invisible Man (1984) is a six-part television miniseries produced by the BBC in England that remained faithful to the original novel.
- Son of the Invisible Man is a spoof sequence from the comedy sketch anthology Amazon Women on the Moon (1987) which parodies the James Whale movie.
- The Invisible Kid (1988), and The Invisible Maniac (1990) are both juvenile comedies that failed to find an audience and were quickly forgotten.
- Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992), directed by John Carpenter, is a special effects-laden science-fiction film starring Chevy Chase. It was a critical and box office disappointment.
- The Invisible Man (2000–2002) was produced in the U.S. by the Sci Fi Channel and ran for 46 episodes. Scenes from the original Invisible Man movie appear in the opening narration.
- Hollow Man (2000) is a science fiction horror thriller film directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Elisabeth Shue, Kevin Bacon, and Josh Brolin, and was inspired by Wells' story. A direct-to-video sequel, Hollow Man 2, was released in 2006.

The ERO1Gene of Yeast Is Required for Oxidation of Protein Dithiols in the Endoplasmic Reticulum

SummaryWe describe a conserved yeast gene, ERO1, that is induced by the unfolded protein response and encodes a novel glycoprotein required for oxidative protein folding in the ER. In a temperature-sensitive ero1-1 mutant, newly synthesized carboxypeptidase Y is retained in the ER and lacks disulfide bonds, as shown by thiol modification with AMS. ERO1 apparently determines cellular oxidizing capacity since mutation of ERO1 causes hypersensitivity to the reductant DTT, whereas overexpression of ERO1 confers resistance to DTT. Moreover, the oxidant diamide can restore growth and secretion in ero1 mutants. Genetic tests distinguish the essential function of ERO1 from that of PDI1. We show that glutathione is not required for CPY folding and conclude that Ero1p functions in a novel mechanism that sustains the ER oxidizing potential, supporting net formation of protein disulfide bonds.

Modulation of Cellular Disulfide-Bond Formation and the ER Redox Environment by Feedback Regulation of Ero1

SummaryIntroduction of disulfide bonds into proteins entering the secretory pathway is catalyzed by Ero1p, which generates disulfide bonds de novo, and Pdi1p, which transfers disulfides to substrate proteins. A sufficiently oxidizing environment must be maintained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to allow for disulfide formation, but a pool of reduced thiols is needed for isomerization of incorrectly paired disulfides. We have found that hyperoxidation of the ER is prevented by attenuation of Ero1p activity through noncatalytic cysteine pairs. Deregulated Ero1p mutants lacking certain cysteines show increased enzyme activity, a decreased lag phase in kinetic assays, and growth defects in vivo. We hypothesize that noncatalytic cysteine pairs in Ero1p sense the level of potential substrates in the ER and correspondingly modulate Ero1p activity as part of a homeostatic regulatory system governing the thiol-disulfide balance in the ER.

Alison R Frand and Chris A Kaiser
SummaryNative protein disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) requires protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and Ero1p. Here we show that oxidizing equivalents flow from Ero1p to substrate proteins via PDI. PDI is predominantly oxidized in wild-type cells but is reduced in an ero1-1 mutant. Direct dithiol-disulfide exchange between PDI and Ero1p is indicated by the capture of PDI–Ero1p mixed disulfides. Mixed disulfides can also be detected between PDI and the ER precursor of carboxypeptidase Y (CPY). Further, PDI1 is required for the net formation of disulfide bonds in newly synthesized CPY, indicating that PDI functions as an oxidase in vivo. Together, these results define a pathway for protein disulfide bond formation in the ER. The PDI homolog Mpd2p is also oxidized by Ero1p.

Add/View Comments (0)Degradation of Misfolded Proteins Prevents ER-Derived Oxidative Stress and Cell Death
Cole M. Haynes, Eric A. Titus and Antony A. Cooper*,
Correspondence: Antony A. Cooper, (816)235-2265 (phone), (816)235-1503 (fax)Abstract
- A variety of debilitating diseases including diabetes, Alzheimer's, Huntington's, Parkinson's, and prion-based diseases are linked to stress within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Using S. cerevisiae, we sought to determine the relationship between protein misfolding, ER stress, and cell death. In the absence of ERV29, a stress-induced gene required for ER associated degradation (ERAD), misfolded proteins accumulate in the ER leading to persistent ER stress and subsequent cell death. Cells alleviate ER stress through the unfolded protein response (UPR); however, if stress is sustained the UPR contributes to cell death by causing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are generated from two sources: the UPR-regulated oxidative folding machinery in the ER and mitochondria. Our results demonstrate a direct mechanism(s) by which misfolded proteins lead to cellular damage and death.

"We are deeply troubled by this attack on one of the Gambia's leading private newspapers," sasid CPJ Executive Director Ann Cooper. "Gambian authorities should release our colleagues Musa Saidykhan and Madi Ceesay immediately and unconditionally and allow The Independent to resume publishing without fear of reprisal."
Ceesay, who was recently appointed general manager, is also secretary-general of the Gambia Press Union (GPU). A source at The Independent said Ceesay and Saidykhan had been taken to the headquarters of the Police Intervention Unit in the capital Banjul, and that Saidykhan was later transferred to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA). An NIA official contacted by CPJ said he was "not aware" of the detention and could not confirm any information about The Independent.
Former GPU head Demba Jawo told CPJ that he went to the newspaper's office today and confirmed that the office had been sealed by security agents. He said he had not been able to confirm the whereabouts of Saidykhan or Ceesay or the reason for their arrests. Independent Assistant Editor-in Chief Sulayman Makalo, who was among those detained this morning, told CPJ that security agents asked about his position at the paper and his contact information.
The Independent has long been critical of President Yahya Jammeh's government, which withstood a purported coup attempt on March 21. Yesterday's edition contains, for example, a story titled "How Wealthy is Jammeh?" in which it quotes an opposition politician as asking "whether President Jammeh is wealthier than the state." It also contains an opinion piece by Ceesay in which he points out that Jammeh also took power in a coup and strongly criticizes the president's record.
At least 27 Gambians, including former army officers and top officials have been arrested in connection with the coup attempt, according to a report today on the BBC Web site. Jammeh, in power since 1994, faces re-election later this year.
Last October, Saidykhan was detained and harassed by the NIA over an article on the unsolved December 2004 murder of prominent Gambian editor Deyda Hydara (see CPJ news alert of October 27, 2005). The Gambian government has also failed to solve a series of arson attacks on private media, including two against The Independent in 2003 and 2004.

The conditions and length of imprisonment in California's isolation units are simply shocking. To deprive prisoners in a segregated environment of natural light, adequate exercise or meaningful human contact is unnecessarily punitive and unjustifiable in all circumstances. Access to natural light and exercise are basic needs, essential for physical and mental health.
US prisons have been criticized for conditions leading to human rights abuses and overcrowding. In April AI contended that solitary confinement conditions in Arizona's maximum security prisons violate international human rights law [JURIST report]. In January Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] released its annual World Report and criticized US illegal detention programs [JURIST report], pointing to extreme prisoner rights abuses and a high level of incarceration of illegal immigrants and racial minorities. A week earlier the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) [official website] criticized the US human rights record, including the indefinite detention [JURIST report] of Guantanamo Bay [JURIST backgrounder] detainees, in a report that called the situation in Guantanamo "the main outstanding [human rights] issue" in the US. Last year, the US Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Plata [Cornell LII backgrounder] to uphold an order requiring California to release up to 46,000 prisoners [JURIST report] to remedy the state's overcrowded prisons [JURIST news archive].

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In preparation for summer, many people visit a tanning salon or begin using a sunless tanner. But as they become more aware of health concerns related to sun and tanning bed exposure, people are seeking alternatives.
There are many sunless tanning options, but it can be difficult to find the option that is the best for you. We solicited advice from a local tanning expert, Misty McMinn of Glow on the Go, for tips on getting the best, and safest, summer glow.
Q: What is the first thing you should do before using a sunless tanning product?
A: The most important step of the sunless tanning process is to properly prepare your skin. Proper exfoliation is step one. You must be particular in the exfoliant you use because you are removing dead skin cells and clearing your skin of oils and perfumes. Many exfoliants have heavy oils and it will cause the spray tanning solution to bead up and prevent the solution from absorbing properly.
It is very important to moisturize. Your skin can be too dry, and the sunless tanning product could dry your skin out as well, which could cause the skin to flake or crack.
The day before you use a tanning product, you should exfoliate and moisturize. The next day, you should exfoliate and then apply the sunless tanning product.
If you plan to get a manicure or pedicure, you should do it before your spray tanning session because the products used at a nail salon could ruin your sunless tan.
Q: What are the options for obtaining a spray tan?
A: You can seek support and expertise from a technician, visit a salon with spray tanning booths, or use a spray-tanning product at home. A technician provides quality products and support and can answer questions you may have.
Technicians also have products available that allow for touchups or general at-home applications. Technicians tailor the products and application to your skin.
You won't receive one-on-one assistance and tailored formulas with the booth. The booths work best on olive skin tones, but the solution doesn't always get applied evenly.
Q: What should I wear to get a spray tan?
A: What you wear during your spray tan depends on why you're getting it. If you're going to be wearing a bikini on the beach or the stage, you need to take the lines of that bikini into consideration when choosing what to wear during your session. If you're going to be wearing a strapless gown, you won't be able to wear a full bra. Your spray tan technician will be asking you about the lines of your garment to make sure there are no tan lines for your big event.
After your spray tan, you will need to wear loose-fitting clothes only. Preferably no bra and no socks. Sandals would be great. You need to give the formula time to absorb and develop on your skin. Tight fitting and restrictive clothes could rub the spray tan off in places before it has had time to develop. If your vehicle has leather seats and you're wearing shorts, bring a towel to place between your skin and the leather.

After Radiohead's "Lotus Flower" video, the world obviously needed more of Thom Yorke's freakily rubber-limbed dancing. And now we've got some of it in director Garth Jennings's new video for "Ingenue," a song from Amok, the debut album of Yorke's new band Atoms For Peace. In the clip, Yorke and contemporary dancer Fukiko Takase, in identical old-timey suits and ponytails, get down in an empty theater. This guy is, as ever, just fun to watch. Have fun turning this one into gifs; it's below.
Amok is out now on XL.

Wallis Simpson was born on June 19, 1896, in Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania. An American socialite, she had been married twice when she met Edward, Duke of Windsor (then known as the Prince of Wales), at a party. She became Edward's mistress, and he would later abdicate the throne to be with her. This became known as the "abdication crisis" in Britain, which caused much scandal at the time and extensive cultural coverage later.
"A woman's life can really be a succession of lives, each revolving around some emotionally compelling situation or challenge, and each marked off by some intense experience."
"You can never be too rich or too thin."
"I'm not a beautiful woman ... so the only thing I can do is dress better than anyone else."
Early Life
Wallis Simpson was born Bessie Wallis Warfield on June 19, 1896, in Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania. The daughter of Baltimoreans Teackle Wallis Warfield and Alice Montague, Wallis dropped her first name during her youth. Her father died of tuberculosis when she was a baby, and Wallis and her mother became dependent on the charity of Wallis's Uncle Warfield. Wallis became the poor relation, which led to an insecurity that followed her into adulthood. Uncle Warfield paid for Wallis to attend Oldfields School, the most expensive girls' school in Maryland, where she was at the top of her class and was known for always being immaculately dressed.
In 1916, Wallis met Earl Winfield Spencer Jr., a U.S. Navy aviator. The couple married six months later. Win, as her husband was known, was an alcoholic, and in the course of their marriage was stationed in San Diego, Washington, D.C., and China. He and Wallis would be separated for months at a time. When their marriage began to break down, Wallis spent what she called her "lotus year" in China, traveling alone. Win and Wallis divorced in 1927. Wallis then married Ernest Aldrich Simpson, an English-American shipping executive. They wed in London and moved into a large flat with several servants.
Around this same time, Wallis met Lady Furness, then the mistress of Edward, Duke of Windsor (then known as the Prince of Wales), and on January 10, 1931, Wallis was introduced to the Prince of Wales at an event at Burrough Court. The prince later remembered that Wallis had a cold that night and was not at her best.
Abdication Crisis
In January 1934, Wallis became Prince Edward's mistress. He denied this to his family, who were outraged at his behavior, but by 1935 she had been presented at court and the couple had vacationed in Europe multiple times together.
On January 20, 1936, George V died, and Edward ascended the throne. It had become clear that Edward planned to marry Wallis as soon as she divorced Simpson. This caused a scandal in Britain that is now known as the "abdication crisis." The consensus from the Church of England and the conservative British establishment was that Edward could not marry a divorced woman who still had two living ex-husbands. The king's ministers also disapproved, finding Wallis's behavior unacceptable. Britons were reluctant to accept an American as queen. During this time, Wallis fled to France to avoid the heavy press coverage.
On December 5, 1936, after Edward was told that could not keep the throne and marry Wallis, he decided to abdicate.

Numerous Nuptials
Life imitates art in Hollywood, where passionate romances turn into short-lived marriages and quickie divorces. Numerous nuptials are one of the hallmarks of the celebrity lifestyle. Hollywood royalty Elizabeth Taylor married eight times—even more than real royalty King Henry VIII, who married six times. Here's a look at the famous individuals who tied the knot—and then tied it again, and again, and again.

Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson
In 1936, King Edward VIII unexpectedly abdicated the throne to marry the love of his life, American divorcée Wallis Simpson, proclaiming, "I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love." Edward's behavior prior to his decision to abdicate—including courting Wallis while she was still married to her second husband—garnered outrage from the British Royal Family, most notably from Queen Mary of Teck and King George V, and led to the "abdication crisis" in Britain. In 1937, the happy couple married and embarked on a jet-setting life in Paris, meanwhile referring to themselves as "W.E."—their initials, but also a dig at the royal "we," or the majestic plural. Subversive and playful, their nickname continues to serve as a testament to their lasting adoration for one another.

Nancy Rowland: Her Grandmom's Relish Has A Hollywood Tang
There's nothing that says Hollywood quite like jalapeño jelly, mango chutney and corn relish (or was that flavored vodka?). During the 1930s and 40s, I like to think food was still part of the draw at the swankiest starlet parties (Back then, didn't "bottle service" still refer to the milkman?). But before we fondly reminisce for those forgotten years of foie gras and truffles, remember this was an era when pillows of cream cheese appeared on top of just about every appetizer, and cocktail hours weren't complete without a canapé or three.

Centre for International Management The mandate of the Centre for International Management is to coordinate all international activity in the Queen's School of Business. A large part of the activity with the Centre is the coordination of international study opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students including exchange programs, international internships and individual study abroad initiatives. The Centre also works with faculty to facilitate research and teaching abroad as well as assisting visiting faculty who wish to come to the School for either a short term visit or sabbatical. The Centre is also responsible for the curriculum and faculty appointments at the Bader International Study Centre, East Sussex, U.K., a 14th century castle owned and operated by Queen's University. Much of the activity in the Centre focuses on the creation of new partnerships with other institutions around the world, creating a vast network of business schools that are centres of excellence for business education and research. All of the activities of the Centre support the goal to further internationalize the School, and create a truly international environment. The Queen's Commerce Exchange Program...in one word from a parent's perspective -- "fabulous!" We have had the fortune of two of our children going on exchange recently -- one to Australia and one to Europe. Not only did the opportunity allow exposure to an international curriculum, but the personal development was invaluable -- traveling and living independently, while experiencing several foreign cultures. Both have developed personal relationships which will last for a lifetime. This Program is a key reason why our children selected Queen's Commerce.

Hot answers tagged bike-fit
First, do you have cycling shorts w/ a chamois? If not, I would highly recommend them. As a note, they are your underwear (ex: do not wear undergarments and then put on the shorts).
Second, how did you choose your saddle? Was it fitted through some type of measurement system ala bontragers inform system or specializeds BG system? How much did you spend on ...
For a quick fit, the general goal is to keep the seat high enough that you can get a nearly-full leg extension, without 'locking' the knee.
Over a long period of time, if you find that you are having knee, foot or hip pains, try making small adjustments with the saddle, about 0.5-1.0cm at a time, either up, down, forwards or backwards. If the pain gets ...
I can think of a few possible explanations:
If you're sitting too upright, vibrations from the road/trail (anything from pavement quality to serious potholes) will travel straight up your spine, causing your the gaps between your vertebrae to expand and contract. This can add up on a long ride. Ideally you want to be leaning forward enough that your back ...
If this is your first bike, go to your local bike store and have them fit you professionally. Then, ask if they have loaner bikes so that you can get a feel for the size of the bike before you invest. Some people prefer bikes on the smaller side and some prefer them a bit larger. You'll get a definite feel for this over time, but I wouldn't recommend ...
There are a number of ways to determine the seat height for a road bicycle. But you should also pay attention to how you feel while riding your bike at different heights. In addition, it is important to consider your entire position, not only the seat height. Finally, if you are riding a lot, change your seat height in small increments over time to avoid ...
There is no single official accepted guidance. Typically the more you ride, the lower you will tolerate your bars, drops or straights. Pro cyclists have them as low as 10-15 cm below saddle, while amateurs tend to have them level or slightly higher than the saddle.
Don't worry that you cannot spend all your time in drops. Even pro cyclists prefer the more ...
This might not be a very good place to start from when sizing a bicycle. Your inseam measurement is from the top of the crotch (top inseam point) to the BOTTOM SIDE OF THE ANKLE (lowest inseam point). Your feet go all the way to the floor.
Inseam is specifically to determine what pants you wear. I might point out that pants and bicycles are made and ...
While in the saddle, your feet should not touch the ground and your leg should be almost completely extended at the bottom of the pedal stroke. You ought to be able to straddle the top tube fairly easily with your feet flat on the ground.

Copied this from a saddle mfg website: How to measure your own sit bones
Of course the measure you really want is between the centres of your ischial tuberosities – the pointy lower parts of your pelvic bone on either side. Many bike dealers have a pad that you can sit on to measure this distance, but you can do it at home too.
Take a piece of aluminium ...
This is probably going to depend on a bit more than just your height or leg length (though I'm sure a rough idea can be gleaned). Your specific bike (geometry) and riding position will also affect crank length a bit.
Here are a few good links on the subject that go beyond my knowledge on the issue.
The best answer to your question is simply "no." Unless you've ridden the exact geometry before, there's no great way to know if your body will enjoy the fit. Sure, there are MANY adjustments you can do to any bike to get it close, but nothing replaces taking the bike out for 20 miles to find out how your body will respond.
Now, with that said, if you ...
This goes against accepted wisdom, but I think test rides are overrated. Not useless, but overrated.
You're going to own the bike for a long time presumably. You're going to be able to play with the tire pressure, the handlebar position, the seat height and fore/aft, the seat itself, the pedals, the cranks. As you develop cycling muscles, your position on ...
IMO single most important factor of cycling joy is FIT!
This is a great tool and worth the effort:
I have used it myself and referred countless folks to it, all with great success! Good luck!
With a smaller frame, you will need an appropriately longer handlebar stem in order to retain the cockpit length. This will affect handling of the bike: it will feel more "lively", which can be good in some cases (tight turns, difficult terrain) or bad (less stable) - in most cases.
A smaller frame will be marginally less reliable, and more prone to break, ...
Rivendell bikes argues that most road bikes sold are too small. They're probably in the minority opinion as far as bike shops go, but they have (collectively) a lot of experience in frame geometry and riding styles.
Their argument is based on their belief that most shops assume that road riders should emulate racers -- experts who are willing to put up ...
The best advice I heard on the topic is to sit comfortably on the bike while placing your heel on the pedal. Move the seat up until your leg is fully extended, and then tighten the seat. This way, the leg will be only slightly bent at full extension when the ball of the foot is on the pedal.
You definitely don't want the leg to be fully extended while ...
Depending on how much you ride, you may want to consider having your bike professionally fit at a bike store.
My wife received a free fit when we bought her Dolce at Peleton Cycles, but they told me they will fit anyone to their bike for about $70. It's pricey, but if you are riding your bike constantly, it may be worth the money.
It took them about an ...
The thing that causes saddle sores is friction. Moisture contributes as well.
Cycling shorts are probably a good idea, but if you don't want to wear cycling shorts (I don't for commuting, but my longest commute is half the distance of yours), there's three key things:
A properly fitting saddle.
In particular, there's a lot of problems with people wanting ...
Frame fit
Primarily, a bike fits if you can position pedals, saddle and handlebars relative to each other so that they match your body's proportions. Secondarily, when these contact have been set, other frame parameters should fall into place so that the riding characteristics are as desired. That includes e.g. toe clip overlap, stand over height, bottom ...
You will want to be sitting in a postion that has your weight mostly on your sit bones.
You also want to make sure that with your saddle in the correct position, your knee is over the axle of the pedal when the crank is in the front-most part of it's circle. Too far off and it can put a strain on your knee. If the saddle can't be adjusted to allow this to ...
If you hadn't mentioned "tiny frame" and back pain, I'd agree with mgb about minor changes to your existing bike instead of getting a new one. It sounds like you need a bike that fits you and you have a bike that's too small. There might be a few things that could be adjusted to make a too-small bike work better, but it's likely you're better off getting a ...
There are several good systems. I'm a certified BG fitter, as well as certified with the retul system. You're familiar with the BG system, as you've already been through it.
Retul is a system which uses power measurement and body position sensors on a 3 dimensional wire frame (virtual) reproduction of your bike and body. It allows an experienced fit ...
It can take a few weeks to get used to a new saddle, or other components, but if adjusted properly they should be 'uncomfortable', not 'freaking hurts' painful.
When it comes to saddles, even after a professional fit you may need to make adjustments at home. Using a grease pencil or other means of marking the position you can start by doing two things ...
The idea here is that a frame is typically originally designed in a 56cm frame, or the equivalent median size for the "average size" rider.
When the frame design is tested and finalized, most manufacturers minimize the changes they make when creating the molds for additional sizes.
This can result in small sizes having a harsher ride than the median, and ...
Buying a bike without riding it is a terrible idea. Similarly terrible ideas would include ordering a mattress without laying on it, laying down cash for a guitar without playing it, and purchasing bike shorts without trying them on. And I agree that any shop that won't let you test ride a bike is pretty suspicious. I'd try to take my business elsewhere.
Your bike fit should not cause you pain. Back pain, neck pain, knee pain, hand pain, elbow pain, etc are all signs of a problem; they shouldn't simply be ignored, and probably won't just go away on their own. Muscular soreness after pushing extra hard is really the only kind of pain you should get.
I suggest that you:
Get the bike fit to you. Many bike ...
There's quite a lot of discussion on the subject of fit, and some folks have considerably different ideas in this regard.
I use the old-school methods to get close, then try to "dial in" things according to what my body tells me.
Seat height should be such that you can easily pedal "circles" without rocking or stretching, nor by over-flexing the knee. It's ...
